Bob Carter Dies; Father of Nick & Aaron Carter Was 65

Bob Carter, the father of former pop stars Nick and Aaron Carter, has reportedly passed away. He was 65 years old. Sources close to the Carter family tell TMZ that Bob passed away in Florida on Tuesday night. No cause of death has been revealed, but it appears that the Carter’s passing was unexpected. In a tweet that’s since been deleted, Aaron stated that his father had been found unconscious in the hours before his death. In addition to raising two of the best-known pop stars of the late ’90s and early 2000s, Bob appeared in his sons’ reality show, House of Carters. The show, which ran for one season on E! in 2006, also featured Bob’s other three children, Leslie, Angel and Bobbie. Sadly, the Carters were unable to maintain their popularity, and both brothers wound up as tabloid staples during their respective downward spirals. Aaron Carter filed for bankruptcy and checked into rehab during a dark 18 month time period that started in 2011. These days, he’s reportedly sober, but still far from being back on his feet financially. For his part, former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter hasn’t fallen quite as far, but he’s had own struggles with substance abuse and the law. Last year, Nick was arrested after getting involved in a bar brawl in Florida. Bob’s death is just the latest sad chapter in the Carter family saga. Nick and Aaron’s sister Leslie Carter passed away in 2012. Both singers paid tribute to their father on social media today. “I am heartbroken to share the news that our father, Robert, passed away last night…” Nick tweeted moments ago. “While we learn more about the cause of death, and begin the grieving process, we ask that our privacy be respected at this difficult time.” “My heart is completely shattered,” Aaron, 29, tweeted.

We are so hurt we lost you poppa way too soon. You were never human to me, you were always my real life super hero.”

Beyoncé’s Pregnancy Has Put Her And Hubby Hov’s Matrimony-dom In The Best Place Ever

Sweet Black Love: Beyoncé And Jay Z’s Marriage In The Best Place Congratulations are in order for the coupled up Carters , who are said to be experiencing the happiest time in their marriage EVER right now as she carries their unborn twins . Apparently it’s not just the baby news that has them over the moon, but also the way they’ve carved out time and space for each other over the last year. “Jay and Beyoncé are in the best place in their marriage,” an insider told E!News “They have allotted more time for themselves as a couple over this past year, and that has helped them build together.” The source continued, “Jay and B have always wanted a big family. So when they got that huge news and surprise that they were having twins, they were both so happy. They have been trying for a while now so these babies are a true gift from God to them.” This pregnancy is definitely a blessing. You can tell that things seem to be much better. Bey is smiling and glowing and Jay also seems to be more relaxed than in the past. Not to mention how Blue Ivy has matured! We’re glad to see the Carters finally bringing her to more events — like All Star game on Sunday. According to reports, Blue is really excited for her new role in the family too. The insider dished, “Blue likes to feel Beyoncé’s belly and seems to be looking forward to being an older sister.” On the downside, Bey is facing some challenges with this pregnancy, but she’s doing her best to avoid gaining too much weight. “Beyoncé is tired and more out of breath than usual,” the source said. “She is eating clean but still has her cheat days. She has some sweet and salty cravings but trying to still not gain as much weight that can come on while carrying twins. She is very aware of what she puts in her body.” The insider also notes, “She has doctors and nutritionists that are helping her with this pregnancy. Overall, she is feeling good and can’t wait to welcome these babies into this world.” We bet! Anyone who has carried babies knows having them thangs leaning on your bladder all the time ain’t really the business… As fo now though, Bey is still planning to do as much as she can during her pregnancy — even to fulfill her Coachella duties — but once she gives birth she will be taking a well deserved break. “After Beyoncé has her babies, she is going to take some time off for herself and her family,” our source revealed. “She needs a break, but her breaks are always productive and creative. Beyoncé is always thinking so I wouldn’t be surprised if some amazing ideas came up while she is taking time off.” Y’all know what that means. She’s probably gonna cook up another album postpartum. Good thing Hubby Hov is back in good graces. He doesn’t want them “Lemonade” level problems again! Beyonce.com

Beyonce: Pregnant With TWINS!!!

This is not a drill, ladies and gentlemen. After years (years!) of Beyonce pregnancy rumors , the queen herself just took to Instagram to confirm that Blue Ivy will soon be a big sister. Two times over. That’s right – Beyonce and Jay Z are officially expecting twins. Mrs. Carter made it official when she posted the above photo on Instagram moments ago, along with a caption reading: “We would like to share our love and happiness.” “We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters” As you may (okay, you definitely) recall, Beyonce announced her first pregnancy live during her performance at the VMAs back in 2011. This announcement might not have quite the same panache, but fans are currently losing it on social media, nonetheless. Within seconds of the news going public, the Bey Hive started swarming Twitter and Instagram to offer its congratulations. (We assume most of them are also taking the rest of the day off from work because they just can’t EVEN right now.) Of course, amidst all of the ballyhoo, there’s been the occasional contemplative tweet about what this means for the Carters immediate future: Will Beyonce still headline Coachella? Does this mean she won’t be divorcing Jay Z , as so many though she would in the weeks after Lemonade was released? And of course, what does Becky With the Good Hair , whomever that might be, think of this latest development? (Sure, it’s Beyonce, but it’s also the Internet. You knew there was bound to be a hater or two or three million.) In all likelihood, we’ll have to wait until the day of the delivery to find out what epically unique names the first couple of hip hop has chosen this time. We have our fingers crossed for another color/plant combo, because Blue Ivy is probably the most dope celebrity baby name of all time. What would you expect from Jay and Bey? In the meantime, our congratulations go out to one of our favorite A-list families … Naturally, most of the focus has been on the expectant mother (largely because most of the world’s focus should be on Beyonce every day). But we’d like to take a moment to give a shout-out to the her other half, as well: *clears throat*  You’re crazy for this one, Jay! We don’t want it to turn into a Jackson 5 situation, but please promise you’ll get these three in the studio as soon as they show the slightest interest in music. With their genes, it would be a crime not to.

Khloe Kardashian: F–k Being Plus-Size!

Khloe Kardashian has always seemed to have a kind of weird relationship with her body. Stars, they’re just like us! In the past year or two, Khloe’s lost a whole lot of weight , and thanks to many, many hours spent at the gym, she’s completely transformed her body. Some might say the transformation came after many hours spent at the neighborhood plastic surgery office , but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that Khloe looks quite a bit different than she used to, and those changes can be hard to get used to. She spoke at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit earlier today — yes, really — and she was open and honest about what it was like to be “the fat Kardashian.” “I’m all for women empowerment,” she said, “and I used to be someone they used to label plus-size.” “F-ck that. I don’t want to be called that — I’m a woman with curves.” It’s a strange little debate, the one about the term “plus-size,” but it’s pretty clear how Khloe feels on the subject. Really, it’s just a term that makes it easier for people of a certain size to find the clothing that fits them, it’s not inherently offensive or anything. Though it probably didn’t help that Khloe was called plus-sized when she definitely was not . “I was what I would say is average size at the time,” she explained. “I was very proud of who I was, and I felt, like, so shamed at the time — to go into boutiques or go denim shopping.” “It was something that was super hard for me.” Poor Khloe even said that she was “embarrassed to go shopping with my sisters, who are petite.” It’s sad, because back in the day, Khloe would make all sorts of appearances with Kim and Kourtney Kardashian — Kim is 5’3″ and Kourtney is 5’0″, so at 5’10”, of course Khloe looks much bigger. Khloe has a much different body type than her sisters, which is fine, obviously, but that’s why people called her plus-sized, and that’s why she had a hard time finding clothes. Tall girls have it rough. But still, Khloe’s always identified as “a chubby girl,” and even though she’s lost weight, things haven’t changed in that department. These days, with her new denim line, Good American, which comes in a variety of sizes up to a 24, Khloe said “I remember the chubby girl in me and I’m fighting for my chubby self.” “It wasn’t about having a new denim line,” she went on. No, it was about “doing something that empowers other women, and something that is really going to break down barriers.” So that’s kind of admirable, right? Now if only Khloe could be more like this, if she could give talks like these instead of just being the most ridiculous girl that ever was , then we’d really be cooking … View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Gym Selfies

Beyonce vs. Jay Z: Who Made More Money in 2016?

2016 sucked for just about everyone whose name doesn’t start with “B” and end with “-eyonce.” We’d say it was a pretty good year for Donald Trump, too, but let’s face it:  The man never wanted to be president, and now he has to eat dinner with Mitt Romney without making a single comment about the waitress’ ass for fear of offending Mitt’s Mormon sensibilites. Looks like we’ve veered slightly off topic. Let’s get back to Bey. While for the rest of us, 2016 was the year of Oh God, why is this happening?! for Beyonce it was the year of Lemonade . Bey’s confessional “visual album” turned actual album turned wildly lucrative tour brought in huge bucks and introduced us all to Becky With the Good Hair .  In case you somehow missed it, Bey strongly hinted that Jay Z cheated on her throughout the album, and we imagine things were a little awkward around the Carter household in the days after its release. In the week’s after  Lemonade  became an overnight sensation, fans often joked that Jay was probably cool with being publicly called out due to the amount of money his incredibly successful wife brings in. There may be some truth to that, but the fact remains that Jay still does very, very well in his own right. In fact, the hip hop legend earned almost as much as Bey this year, despite not touring or releasing an album. According to Forbes  magazine’s list of the year’s highest-ranking musicians, the Carters (once again the only husband-and-wife team to make the list) are worth something in the neighborhood of $1 billion. One would assume that Bey would easily out-earn her husband given how dormant he’s been on the music scene, but Jay still rakes in royalties from 20 years worth of classic jams. On top of that, this year saw him pulling in huge bucks from his investments in D’Usse cognac and Ace of Spades champagne. View Slideshow: 12 Bey-riffic GIFs from the Beyonce HBO Special In total, Jay earned about $53.5 million in 2016, just shy of Beyonce’s total income of $54 million. Forbes made no mention of the losses Jay may have sustained from his involvement in the Tidal fiasco, but something tells us the Carters will be just fine.

Donald Trump Is Appalled By Jay Z’s Lyrics At Hillary’s Rally — “Could You Imagine If I Said That??”

Donald Trump Says He Can’t Believe Jay Z’s Explicit Lyrics If you’ll recall, the Carters lent their support to Hillary Clinton by performing at a fully-packed voting rally in Cleveland on Friday night. Well, at his rally in Tampa last night, Trump being the hater that he is threw shade at Hillary for “needing” Jay Z to fill up a stadium, and blasted him for performing songs like “F—WithMeYouKnowIGotIt,” “Dirt off Your Shoulder,” and “Jigga My N****” without hitting the censor button. Somehow Donald Trump — a presidential hopeful — is upset that he’s held to a higher standard and doesn’t have the same license for vulgarity as Jay Z — a rapper. Let that sink. Furthermore, it isn’t like we haven’t heard Donald say some seriously lewd isht himself…and we HIGHLY doubt Jay Z would ever have a hot-16 talking about grabbing women by the cooch without their consent… Splash/WENN
