Kim Kardashian To Rob Kardashian: I Take Full Credit For Saving Your T-Shirt Company!

Kim Kardashian to the rescue!  Not only has the mega-famous reality star been able to prove herself useful by creating a gorgeous makeup line and setting jail prisoners free, but now she can add saving dumb floundering businesses to her resume.  Rob Kardashian’s Halfway Dead clothing line has stood true to its’ name and well, has been suffering. But thanks to sister Kim, things are starting to look up!  According to Radar Online , the company was near collapse when Rob, 32, and his business partners were accused of ripping off a skull logo from another brand.  Luckily, Momager Kris Jenner (ok, she’s the real hero here) ordered his sisters to promote the clothing line to bring in more customers following the copyright issue.  And of course, taking into consideration the popularity and fame of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it worked. But it didn’t take all 5 of the sisters to give a simple shout out on social media, instead, Kim Kardashian was able to revive the company all on her own. On Thursday, August 1, Kim took to Instagram to post a photo of herself rocking one of Rob’s signature tees, which also happens to be the same shirt Kylie Jenner posed in when the brand launched back in July.  In the caption of the photo, Kim decided to keep it short and sweet, writing, “Halfway-Dead.com.” Naturally, the 38-year-old’s post received  all the love. And fortunately for Rob, business quickly began booming.  “Sales skyrocketed and they are nearly sold out of every single item in stock!” an insider told Radar.  “Of course Kim is taking full credit for saving Rob’s clothing line, Rob really had to swallow his pride on this one, but it wasn’t hard.” “Kim made him so wealthy in just one weekend. He is so grateful,” added the source.  And the middle Kardashian sister is feeling pretty grateful, too… for her social media power.  “Kim is really gloating on this because she wants everyone to know that, when Kylie tried promoting Rob’s brand wearing the same shirt she wore, the sales overall were nowhere near what they were these past few days,” said the insider.  “Kim knows that she has the most social media influence and it is really important to her ego that she feels like the most powerful Kardashian.” Come on, we all know she is — especially lately with her ongoing fight for criminal justice reform .  And now she has saved the day once again!  Besides Kim, Rob’s other sisters also care about his wellbeing and just want to see him happy and healthy again, especially for the sake of his daughter Dream.  But finally, after months of dealing with custody battles and self-destructive behaviors, things look like they might actually be turning around for the 32-year-old.  According to another report from Radar Online , the father of one is “determined to take back the throne” by getting back in shape physically and being more financially stable .  “Rob has quit drinking and partying and he has let go of his bitter resentment against all of his family members,” shared an insider.  We’re glad Rob is finally on the same page with the rest of the world and realizes that it is ok to keep up with his sisters.

Nafisah Carter Went From Doing Hair In Her Dorm To Being A Celebrity Hair Stylist

Source: Nathan Pearcy / @npearcypics Nafisah Carter’s first inspiration to become an entrepreneur was her mother. But it wasn’t until college that she realized she had a passion for doing hair. Friends would line up outside her dorm room to get their hair done, which is how she made extra money. After graduating college, Nafisah went to hair school. “When I started beauty school, I was just interested in hair,” explains the North Carolina native. “I went to Dudley, and Dudley would come in to talk to us about the careers. Then I realized people work with celebrities and travel. He told us about so many different careers in hair and that’s when I realized I want to work with celebrities. I thought it was cool.” Nafisah was exposed early on to entrepreneurship watching her mother travel state to state for different trade shows. “I saw her work hard,” says Nafisah. “I liked the traveling. She made her own schedule.” Nafisah’s dream of becoming a celebrity stylist eventually came true. “I recently worked with Michelle Williams, Erica Mena, Misty Copeland” to name a few. Nafisah decide to move to New York where she began working at the renown Rita Hazan Salon. “When I worked in New York that’s when I learned everything I learned about working with celebrities,” she explained. “I helped with them in the salon. I was mesmerized when Jennifer Lopez came to get her hair done.” After launching her own beauty boutique, she ventured into the hair extensions. The international celebrity stylist says she decided to start her own hair line when she got frustrated working on low quality extensions one day. ” “A lot of my clients would come and their hair was bad. It would tangle, it would shed, it would melt on the flat iron. I wanted a good product for my clients because I knew I was doing a good service. A good service with good quality hair so that way they can have a long-lasting hairstyle. I did a lot of research. It took a long time because I ordered hair, I did a lot of testing.” After finding a product she approved of, Nafisah launched Pyara Hair. The soft, natural and luminous bundles are scented, packaged and ready to be installed with a glamorous lifestyle in mind. Each bundle is tangle free, shed free, and chemical free, and color friendly. The Bombshell Beauty Collection includes Straight, Curly Kinky, and Wave textures that and can last up to 3 years. With hair standards techniques constantly changing, Nafisah is consistently elevating her craft taking classes to stay on top of the latest hair trends. “I stay on social media, different shows and practice on my friends and family.” But the beauty mogul covets a classic look over following the trend. “People tend to go with the trends, and I tend to stay away. That is what keeps my clients in my chair.” Nafisah plans on expanding her business with a product line for weave care. Follow her on social media and check out PyaraHair.com .

Sure, Jan: Tristan Thompson Kills Jordy Craig Rumor And Says THIS About Alleged Cheating…Gets DESTROYED By Twitter Anyway

Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Tristan Thompson has spent the last few months trying to mind his business and his NBA offseason, but that hasn’t stopped him from being in the midst of all sorts of rumors and mess. Earlier this week, the internet was convinced he had gotten back together with his ex Jordy Craig after pics of their son appeared on each of their IG accounts. This caused widespread confusion and finger-pointing at Khloe for the Karmic ramifications. Tristan took to Twitter to clear things up: I have spent the last few months training for my upcoming nba season and making sure that I am in the best shape possible. I have not been on vacations at all this summer and the current rumors spreading are 100% false. — Tristan Thompson (@RealTristan13) July 31, 2019 Then he followed up by defending Khloe…again: Also, when I met Khloe I was SINGLE. The negative comments that are constantly being directed towards her are unnecessary. She does not deserve all this backlash for my wrong doings. Both Khloè and Jordan have been nothing but great mothers to my kids. — Tristan Thompson (@RealTristan13) July 31, 2019 This caused Twitter to have ALL the jokes, including begging Khloe to give Tristan his phone back, please! It all got out of hand very quickly and the jokes were FLYING. Take a look… I think Tristan is going to be mad at Khloe for making him write this. What did he think would happen? Did he think anyone would believe him, or think it was okay to leave a pregnant girlfriend, and start a new relationship, and flaunt it all over social media. Foolish man. https://t.co/RE6DnqRZQx — DeirdreIV (@IvDeirdre) August 1, 2019

The Rock Lays The Smackdown On Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart & Terry Crews Funny A**es | Extra Butter

View post:

On this episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine – We stop in two locations, Hawaii and London to sit down with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham for their new movie Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. The dynamic duo talks about crafting a new world inside the F&F universe and more. The Rock comments on a tweet that went viral sparking the internet to go nuts when someone asked who’s funniest? Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Terry Crews or The Rock. Well, Dwayne channeled his old WWE persona to layeth the smackdown on all of their funny asses. The tweet was sent out a couple of weeks ago, a person by the twitter name “@RepliesBro” posed a ridiculous question that broke the internet. He asked, Who is funniest? Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Terry Crews, and The Rock. Who is Funniest? pic.twitter.com/xPNLraLfkO — Bold Man (@repliesbro) July 13, 2019 The question sparked the large debate on twitter and the end result was Eddie Murphy becoming the number 1 trend on twitter. Terry Crews even chimed in saying Eddie Murphy by far. Eddie Murphy— by far https://t.co/a0RB7ViIU0 — terry crews (@terrycrews) July 14, 2019 But now we have The Rock’s take on this question, which we assume was just in jest, but after seeing Hobbs and Shaw, I think its clear The Rock is one of the best comedic actors of all time. So when I asked Dwayne Johnson about this tweet his answer was epic. “I don’t know if I want to be the funniest actor in the game, I just want to bring the funny when the time is right, but who is on that list?” As I started to explain to him, who made the list, he interrupts. “It’s going to be Kevin Hart, Terry Crews, It’s gonna be Eddie Murphy. It could be Killian Murphy. The only thing that matters is The Rock is the most electrifying man in all of entertainment and the most funniest guy walking God’s green Earth is going to kick all of their candy asses.” Lastly, The Rock opened up about his daughter joining WWE and working out at the performance center as he stopped by there last week to see her put in the work in becoming a WWE superstar. I love that she wants to get in the business, I love the business of pro wrestling, I grew up in it, and she grew up in it too. Dwayne goes on to say that he gave his daughter some advice about her progress and reminded her that she still has a lot of room to grow. “I said They’re adults and you are the youngest one. You started at 16 and she’s 17 now. She’s been training just under a year. You gotta be patient, it’s going to come. You’re gonna make mistakes, don’t worry about your timing right now. You just gotta go full speed and come from (The heart). I would have never have guessed that I would have a daughter at 29 and years later she is going to want to get into the same business of Rock Bottoms and suplexes and things like that it’s so cool.” Hobbs and Shaw shows Hobbs as a father and you can see the film when it hits theaters August, 2nd, 2019.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Lawsuits, Scheming, and More Drama!

The most recent season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been heavy on the Lisa Vanderpump shade, but light on the lawsuits.  Tuesday’s second part of the reunion shed light the things that never made it to the show during the season, and it was wild from start to finish.  A fan questioned why the ladies were happy enough to drag LVP and everything she did, yet they were not keeping fans up to speed about their financial situations.  “Erika’s happy to talk about Lisa Vanderpump all day, but when it comes to Tom [Girardi] defaulting on a $15 million loan, she doesn’t say a word,” Andy read from a card.  “How ’bout this,” Erika shot back. “Resolved, and they apologized.” Andy then tried a similar tactic with Kyle when another fan had a question.  “Amy from Texas said, ‘I guess Kyle isn’t gonna mention Mauricio [Umansky] scamming someone out of $37 million when she can just talk about Dorit’s dog.'” Kyle was livid.  “My husband did not scam anyone,” she yelled. “That causes problems because my husband’s never made $36 million on a deal in his life!” “That’s what a property sold for, okay? So your question from whoever the f–k Monty is in McGootville saying my husband’s scamming people out of $36 million…” Andy was shook, and checked the card again, before saying “Amy from Texas.” “Okay, Amy from Texas!” Kyle shouted. “That’s a misleading question.” Andy then tried to backtrack by rephrasing the questions.  “There’s a lawsuit relating to a dispute about a property.” “And that’s it — a dispute!” Erika said, while Kyle said to Andy, “Yeah, but the way it was worded is damaging, and I don’t appreciate that.” Andy then checked in with Dorit, and said that she also had lawsuits.  “He wants a certain amount of money, and no, I can’t get into numbers because it’s an ongoing lawsuit,” she replied. “Andy, the judge has ordered mediation,” Dorit explained. “The judge looked at it and said, ‘Listen, you guys figure this out.’ I am very comfortable in our position. It is in the lawyers’ hands. It doesn’t need to have a discussion because there’s a lot of details about it that I can’t really speak about.” To make things fair, Andy chatted about LVP and a lawsuit against Vanderpump Dogs for wrongful termination.  He wanted to know if the ladies thought Lisa would chat about it.  “I doubt it, but I would not have brought it up,” Kyle said. “I don’t want to hurt her business or hurt her. As a group of friends, we don’t say, ‘Hey, Erika, so what is going on with that thing?'” “You don’t? I would. If my friend was being sued…” Andy explained, before Kyle cut him off. “Well you would ’cause look what you do for a living.” Elsewhere, Lisa Rinna opened up about her daughter going public with her eating disorder on Instagram.  She admitted that she had no idea Amelia was telling the world about her struggles.  “It’d probably been going on for longer than we know, but when you physically see it, it’s undeniable,” she said. “You can’t ignore it.” “When we had that barbecue, I think that that was a really pivotal point,” Rinna added. Andy then asked about how Harry should have reacted, prompting Rinna to reply, “Well, from what the therapist told him when he went to see the therapist, she said, ‘You have to shut the f–k up.’ And those were the exact words that she said to him.” “Amelia’s gone through a lot in her anorexia,” Rinna explained. “She’s quite healthy right now. Right in this moment. And recently, people have said, ‘Well, you don’t look anorexic. You’re not that thin.’ Which is a really big trigger. It’s f–king difficult.” Things took a turn when Andy essentially asked if Rinna being conscious about her eating habits and weight could have contributed to Ameilia’s issues.  “Probably, yeah,” Rinna confessed. “Do I have any food issues? I probably do ’cause I’m in this business.” Meanwhile, the ladies opened up about the way Camille acted throughout the season.  “Here’s what happens,” Kyle said to Camille. “When we’re together, you will say things like, ‘I know who Lisa is, she’s done this to me, she’s done that.’ And when you’re not with us, you’re like, ‘Lisa, I feel so bad with what you’re going through.'” “Can I feel both? I can feel both,” Camille wondered, prompting Dorit to point out, “Not if they contradict one another.” “You’ve got to have conviction,” Kyle continued. “Okay, my conviction is I felt terrible that her brother passed away,” Camille said.  “What human wouldn’t?!” Kyle fired back. Teddi Mellencamp subsequently chimed in.  “But you can still say she has terrible breath and her gums are receding?!” “That was a joke, and you all laughed! And you all laughed!” Camille yelled as she looked at Kyle.  “And you continued with the conversation and said, ‘Yes, don’t get me into it, but she’s always had bad breath.'” “Yes, you have! That is bullshit! You’ve talked about that off camera with me!,” Camille continued.  “Camille, that’s such a f–king low blow,” Kyle screamed across the couch. “We’ve all said things privately about each other. I would never out you! If I did right now, it would be a very bad situation. I don’t do that!” The back and forth continued for dear life.  How did you feel about all of this? RHOBH continues Tuesdays at 9/8c.  View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon: Already Texting a New Woman!
