Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty J. Holiday Responds To Jacquees And Crown Himself King Despite the fact that most of these new age singers don’t have the stats or the fans to warrant a claim of R&B supremacy, that certainly wasn’t going to stop them from crowning themselves. That didn’t exactly go over well with some of the OGs. It also didn’t go over well with has-been singer J. Holiday either. The former fedora-clad hitmaker (“hit” as in one, singular) had some harsh words for Jacquees and addressed who he thought the real kings of R&B were, including himself. But just before he adorned himself with self-congratulations, the universe, in the form of a woman off-screen, humbled the “Bed” singer… Gucci jacket or not, she couldn’t tell. She just wanted her car and thought J. Holiday looked like someone who could help her with that. Can’t blame her, it was a totally….valet…question. What do you think of this argument? Who really runs R&B among the men folks these days? Flip the page to see what Tyrese and Pleasure P had to say about all this.
Following the Keeping Up With The Kardashians finale , Kim Kardashian was a guest on Busy Tonight . One of the many subjects that she and Busy Philipps addressed was Kim's controversial visit to the White House. She also talks about doing ecstasy and reveals what she knows about whether Kylie and Travis Scott are married. Right after Kim comes out to speak to her longtime friend Busy, she acknowledges that her plunging neckline is a little conspicuous. “Your boobs are kind of always hanging out, Kim,” Busy points out. True enough. Then they get down to business. Apart from a brief aside about using obscenities in front of their children (they both do it), they talk about a major part of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians finale. They talk about Kim's trip to the White House to meet with Donald Trump. Kim knew that meeting with the most hated man in the world would be controversial, but she did it to send Alice Johnson home. “I just thought, you know what? Everyone talks shit about me all day long anyway, I'm gonna go and not worry about what people say about me,” Kim explains. Alice is a grandmother who was serving a life sentence for a non-violent drug offense, because our justice system is often unjust. Kim decided that earning a little ire by kissing the orange man's boot was worth it. “I'm gonna go and do the thing that I feel like is the right thing to do,” Kim continues. “And I'm gonna talk to the person who has the most power to make this decision,” Kim affirms. “The only person.” Trump is the only person who currently has the power to pardon people for federal offenses. She says that, despite Trump's desire to appear “tough on crime,” he eventually came around to see things her way. “I'm very grateful to the president for helping us out with this issue,” Kim says. “I might not agree with the policies, but I stay focused on this subject,” she continues. If you want to influence powerful, petty people, sometimes it's best to bite your tongue. “Snd for me,” Kim says. “It wasn't about politics. It was really about people and her.” Trump is famously a bobblehead — that is, someone who seems to agree with whoever spoke to him last. That means that, sometimes, he can be pursuaded to do the right thing. It's great that Kim was able to use his fondness for being liked to do some good. Kanye's outspoken support of Donald Trump has been deeply controversial. Kim characterizes that as Kanye wanting the “freedom” to like Trump. It sounds like Kanye is confused — because he is already free to like Trump. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences, however. On a very different and thankfully less political subject, Kim talks to Busy about her recent admission to having used ecstasy. “People that were close to me, that obviously know that, that life of mine, they're like, 'I can't believe you said that,'” Kim says. “And I was like, well, I mean I never really hide anything,” she explains. “And if anything, it's just weird to people.” Kim continues: “like I've done ecstasy but I don't drink, I don't smoke weed, I don't, I don't do anything.” “So it's weird to, like, have done that, but I think that I was so young,” she concludes. She also shares that she was frank about it with her mother, and that Kris had worried that she would become drug-addled or even infertile. Adorable. Speaking of Kim's family, she also goes into Kylie and Travis' habit of referring to each other as if they're married. Busy asks if they have gotten married behind the scenes. “I honestly don't know,” Kim confesses. “They're the cutest and I think they're so in love and they have the cutest little family,” she gushes. Kim then answers: “I would say no, they're just being cute and posting that.” But then Kim seems to consider. “They've posted it a few times. So I am going to ask in our group chat today when we leave here.” “F–k,” Busy laments. “I wish you had asked before.” That would have made a hell of a story. But Kim still touched on plenty of subjects.
On this week’s new episode of 90 Day Fiance, Eric chose someone he’s known for approximately 90 days over someone he has known literally his entire life: His daughter. How did it even arrive at this point? Leida said she was prepared to call it quits with Eric and head back to Indonesia because he refused to buy her new furniture. That was the reason the pair started to argue at least. Leida explained how was overly stressed about child support and also about Eric’s daughter, Tasha, still living in the house with them. She claimed to be truly fed up and nearly finished with it all. “I feel like I’m forcing myself to get married with you because I don’t want to leave this country cause I have a lot of opportunity to pursue my medical career here,” she told Eric. After some cajoling, however, Leida accepted the child support. However, after she arrived home and saw Tasha’s dirty room, she lost it once again. “If you’re going to threaten to leave him, get the f-ck out of my country,” Tasha screamed at Leida, sick and tired of her threats. But this was not the route Eric chose to go; nope, Leida actually got him to kick Tasha out, making Tasha feel like her father was selecting Leida over his children. Because that’s exactly what he was doing. “I don’t know where me and my dad stand anymore,” Tasha cried. “I don’t want to just not see my dad anymore, but if this is how it’s going to be, then I guess it’s how it’s going to be.” Crazy, right? And also crazy sad? Speaking of crazy, let’s turn to Colt and Larissa , shall we? The couple is MARRIED , in case you had not heard, but tension still exists between Colt’s family and his now-wife. In an attempt to do away with it, Colt wanted to host a barbecue in the hopes that Larissa, his mom, Debbie, and his cousin John could try to develop some kind of relationship. However, the plan backfired when Larissa started talking about them moving out and leaving Debbie behind, which prompted a great deal of screaming and yelling. You know, par for the Colt and Larissa course. “Nobody will make me believe that just because she’s Colt’s mother she’s allowed to make my life a hell,” Larissa said to John, addng: “I love him and I want to respect his mother, but I won’t put my head down and let someone control me.” Sick of pretending he was in support of the marriage, John went right ahead and took aim at Larissa in response. “You should feel like a damn queen with a rock like that but, no, you take advantage,” John said. “That bitch is here for his money. Period. … This is fake. It’s bullsh-t. That’s not true love.” From there, Larissa disinvited John to her wedding and Colt tried to calm his fiancee down. To no avail whatsoever. “Take your f-cking ring,” Larissa yelled. “Marry the woman your mother like. OK, take the ring and f-ck you.” Were things any calmer for Ashley and Jay ? These two were feeling uneasy after they received a series of racist and violent threats against them and their wedding. In response, they installed security cameras in their house, yet their friends and family member were dropping out of attending the nuptials because they felt unsafe. The stars figured they had no choice but to elope in Las Vegas as a result. “The racist comments on our website really rattled us,” Ashley said. “Sometimes I think that a scary situation makes you get closer in your relationship.” Finally, we conclude with Asuelu and Kalani . Their relationship was on the thin ice after they got into a heated exchange last week in front of Kalani’s sister. Kalani felt as if she didn’t want to marry Asuelu anymore, while Asuelu simply grew quiet and shut down any time she brought this up. On Sunday night, however, they tried to talk about their major issues. “You’re not the person that I knew in Samoa,” Kalani said. “You don’t really talk to me. You don’t really try to fix problems.” Asuelu responded with tears, saying he felt a lack physical affection from Kalani. “He really believes that I don’t love him if I don’t want to cuddle him,” Kalani said, seemingly in shock that Asuelu could feel this way. Thankfully, though, this discussed seemed to clear up some problems in their relationship and Kalani even admitted she was excited to plan their wedding.
K evin Hart was in a media firestorm last week when old tweets resurfaced of him making so-called jokes about the LGBT community. Despite misreporting that implied otherwise, Hart never apologized, he only “ addressed ” the issue and said he wouldn’t make the jokes again. However, once he landed the gig of hosting the Oscars, the Academy asked him to actually apologize. He refused twice and then apologized after he resigned. Kyler Murray, who is only 21, apologized immediately. See Also: Bill Cosby Sentenced To 3 To 10 Years In Prison For Sexual Assault Conviction Murray is an Oklahoma Sooners quarterback and the winner of the Heisman Trophy. Just hours after the win, tweets surfaced of him making homophobic comments when he was a teenager, around 14 or 15. Unlike Hart, who was 31 or 32 (and whose tweets included saying an actor looked like a gay Billboard for AIDS) , Murray did not hesitate to say he was sorry. He wrote on Twitter, “I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15. I used a poor choice of words that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group.” Arguably, a 15-year-old should not be punished for offensive tweets when they are an adult. Therefore, it is even more admirable that Murray didn’t say, “I refuse to apologize! I was a kid!” and did the opposite of what someone nearly twice his age did. Murray has a big career ahead of him. ESPN reports, “Murray, a junior from the Dallas suburbs, has signed a $4.66 million contract with the Oakland Athletics after he was selected in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft in June and this season may be his last in college football.” Again, despite incorrect reports, Hart never previously apologized for homophobic tweets, including one that read “die fag .” In 2015, he said to Rolling Stone , “I wouldn’t tell that joke today, because when I said it, the times weren’t as sensitive as they are now. I think we love to make big deals out of things that aren’t necessarily big deals, because we can.” Saying people are too “sensitive” is far from an apology. Hart’s first apology to the LGBTQ community was after he stepped down from hosting the Oscars (even though he said just hours before he wouldn’t apologize). I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscar's….this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past. — Kevin Hart (@KevinHart4real) December 7, 2018 Hart has also never apologized for his comments about dark-skinned Black women or a bizarre cowboys and Indians-themed party he threw on Thanksgiving. Kudos to Kyler Murray for having no issue being held accountable. SEE ALSO: All The Ways Cops Are Still Trying To Cover Up LaQuan McDonald’s Execution Outrageous!

Jordan We have no idea if Creed 3 is even an actual thing (although the box office suggests it will be), but Deontay Wilder wants in. The folks at TMZ caught up with the recently-viral boxing champ and he expressed great interest in being an actor when his days in the squared circle are over. It’s pretty obvious that Deontay has a flair for the dramatic based on his impassioned response to that reporter asking him about Black struggle, but can he act? Deontay sounds pretty confident. We’re here for it. Are you?
As you likely know by now, Kevin Hart has resigned as host of the Oscars. But Nick Cannon doesn’t think he should have been forced to do so. Late this past Friday, Cannon defended his good friend by calling out others in the comedy business who have Tweeted negative things about the LGBT community over the years. Hart, of course, has garnered a great deal of backlash over the past week or so after old Tweets and jokes surfaced, many of which were blatantly homophobic. After Hart refused to apologize for these so-called jokes, explaining that he had already addressed them numerous times in the past, he stepped down as emcee of February’s Academy Awards. (And then he compared his situation to the Civil Rights Movement .) Cannon, meanwhile, thinks some kind of double standard is at play here. Sharing a 2010 Tweet by Chelsea Handler that reads “this is what a fag bird likes like when he flexes,” for example, he wrote: “Interesting I wonder if there was any backlash here.” Cannon went on to share a 2012 tweet from Any Schumer, in which the female comedian wrote, “Enjoy skyfall fags. I’m bout to get knee deep in Helen Hunt #thesessions.” “I’m just saying… should we keep going???” the former America’s Got Talent host captioned his message. Cannon also brought up a Tweet Sarah Silverman wrote years ago in which she wrote: “I dont mean this in a hateful way but the new bachelorette’s a faggot.” When an Interner user responded to Cannon with “while you auditing tweets, you need to audit yours!” Cannon replied: “Nope!! You know I’ve been saying f-cked up sh-t since twitter started! I don’t play that politically correct bullsh-t! F-ck politics!! Only Truth!” By saying this, however, Cannon sort of went ahead and demonstrated the entire problem with Hart’s former Tweets and current response to them. When asked about some of her past language, Silverman once said the following: “All I can do is learn from it, be changed forever by it, and do what I can to make it right going forward. Certainly stuff that I did 10 or 15 years ago, I cringe at now.” Conversely, Hart never issued a mea culpa for his homophobic remarks, many of which can’t be considered jokes of any kind. (“One of my biggest fears is my son growing up and being gay,” he once said on stage. “That’s a fear… as a heterosexual male, if I can prevent my son from being gay, I will.”) To quote Hart’s good buddy here, it sounds very much like Hart was just speaking his Truth. And that’s the entire problem. This bigot hates gay people. After realizing that his response to the flap could cost him long-term earnings and actually affect his career beyond hosting the Oscars, Hart did finally say the following on Thursday: “I’m sorry that I hurt people. “I am evolving and want to continue to do so… I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community and for my insensitive words from the past.” Whatever, Kevin. We’ve moved way past you. Here’s a look at who we think should host the 2019 Oscars instead . View Slideshow: 14 Celebrities Who Don’t Really Like Gay People

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN.com Cardi B Raps About Divorcing Offset During A Live Performance Just last week, Cardi B announced that she and Offset were calling it quits on their marriage after a little over one year. Now, it looks like the rapper is not planning on keeping quiet about the situation; Cardi commented on the topic during a performance at Chicago’s B96 Jingle Bash concert on Saturday night. The show took place at AllState Arena with Cardi B performing along with other big names like Mike Posner, Shawn Mendez, and Camila Cabello. Cardi had an exciting set, as always, where she performed her own hits, but also gave the crowd a taste of her verse from her Migos collab, “MotorSport.” During her brand new rendition of the song, she switched some lines up to reflect the recent nature of the relationship with her husband. Instead of rapping the original lyrics of, “I get up set off/I turn Offset on/I told him the other day/Man, we should sell that porn,” Cardi rhymes, “I get up set off/I turn Offset on/I told him the other day/Yeah, we gon’ get a divorce.” PLEASE. BELCALIS. pic.twitter.com/Py9QlYrgNM — (@fentybardi) December 9, 2018 Cardi shocked fans when she announced on Instagram that the couple was on their way to splitsville. “I been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now,” she said in her now-deleted video. “And it’s nobody’s fault. It’s just like I guess we grew out of love. But we’re not together anymore. I don’t know it might take time to get a divorce. And I’m going to always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter’s father and yeah.” Many people online have been hoping that the Bronx native and her ATL counterpart patch things up before their divorce becomes a reality–but it looks like Cardi is doubling down on her plans to become a single lady once again.
Kim Kardashian has done a few things right in her life. Three of them have first names of North, Saint and Chicago. Those kids are adorable and clearly well cared for. The fourth also has a name: Alice Marie Johnson. As you likely know by now, Kim learned about Johnson several months ago and how she was imprisoned for life in Alabama for a first-time drug offense. From there, Kim made it her mission to free Johnson; to earn her clemency from President Donald Trump. The former sex tape star actually met with the Commander–in-Chief in the Oval Office and actually achieved this goal in June. Say whatever you want about Kim – she has earned the wrath of critics for many reasons – but this was something very, very awesome that she managed to do. It's as simple as that. “I feel like my life is starting over again,” Johnson said upon her release, referring to Kim as an “angel” and adding: “She has truly been relentless in her fight for me… this is not a publicity thing for her. She has never stopped fighting for me. She's an incredible woman, an amazing woman.” On this Sunday's Season 5 finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, viewers will get to watch Kardashian and Johnson actually meet for the first time. It's a legitimately emotional moment. In the clip featured here, Johnson refers to the reaction she's received as a “lovefest,” while Kim says she has learned “so much about criminal justice.” She thinks the system is messed up. What will she do going forward to help fix it? We don't know. But check out the footage here to see what she has done so far.
On Thursday, Chris Harrison announced the contestants vying for Colton Underwood’s affections … and virginity. One of these women, Tracy Shapoff, is already causing a stir among the Bachelor Nation in the worst way. She has tweeted some alarming things. Some are awkward … but some of what she has said online is absolutely abhorrent. When Chris Harrison said that Tracy would make a “flashy first impression,” we don’t think that this is what he menat. He also mentioned that Tracy may “find herself the center of drama night one.” This, however, isn’t about Tracy’s behavior on the show. Instead, it’s about a series of old tweets of hers that have surfaced now that her name has been announced. In 2010, she tweeted: “Do ppl really think they’re finding love on reality tv…or am I just the idiot that watches it?” Obviously, that tweet isn’t harmful or problematic. It’s just a little awkward since Tracy herself has now found herself competing for love on reality television. At the time, she could not have known that she would one day end up on screen, indirectly referring to the Bachelor Nation as “idiots.” We wish that the rest of these tweets were as innocuous. They are not. Another has a much more hateful message. “Wow it’s really cool when you goto get in a cab and some fat prick w/ veneers flips out because he claims he hailed it first…ahole,” Tracy tweeted in 2011. That tweet, in which she seems to single out the alleged weight of a stranger for criticism, is only one example. It appears that Tracy has — or, at least, had — a real problem with anyone who mgiht be overweight or fat. This next tweet is so vile that we can’t even write out all of the words, and it also includes fat-shaming. “Liposuction is r—-ded…stop wasting your money and just get your fat ass to the gym,” she tweeted in 2010. Abhorrent. Let’s ignore her absolute cluelessness about genetic differences that allow one person to lose weight through exercise more easily than another. Regardless of someone’s reason for doing liposuction, that’s no one’s business but theirs and their doctor’s. And, obviously, no one should use slurs. She just hurled the r-slur, which probably means that she felt comfortable using it in her speech, too. In another tweet, she expressed outrage that two older and allegedly overweight women were enjoying themselves at the gym. “Wish these fat old women on the treadmill would shut the hell up,” she lamented in 2010. Her tweet concluded with a demand: “Stop dancing and just [work out].” Obviously, these are older tweets. They date back to 2010 and to 2011. Fat-shaming back then was not okay, even if the general cutlure was less aware of it. Using the r-slur was emphatically not okay either, and to be honest, we think that everyone knew that even then. If we were talking about Tracy committing assaults or violence, this would be the end of the discussion. But saying things — even terrible things — far in the past is not necessarily irredeemable. Tracy can absolutely apologize and show that she has grown as a person. After all, who among us isn’t at least a little wiser or kinder than we were in 2011? Some members of the Bachelor Nation have been quick to point out parallels between Tracy’s exposed tweets and another recent scandal. During Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, Garrett Yrigoyen was exposed for “liking” a lot of vicious, dehumanizing political posts. These Instagram posts weren’t just partisan — no matter your political views, the posts he “liked” were deeply bigoted. Garrett apologized, but the posts that he had liked were only a few months old. In the mean time, Tracy’s date back the better part of a decade. Audiences may be much more willing to believe that Tracy has had a change of heart.
