Larissa Lima to Evelin Villegas: Come Get Your Man, I Don’t Want Him!

Last week, Larissa Lima snapped a selfie with Corey Rathgeber . In the aftermath, Larissa and Evelin Villegas went to war . It got very, very ugly. Things appeared to calm down a little. As Leida Margaretha (of all people!) suggested, it was mostly a misunderstanding. This week, Larissa spoke out in order to clear the air about her intense, vicious feud with Evelin. “Hey, guys, I would like to clarify the recent events,” Larissa wrote on Instagram. “As everyone knows, Corey [likes] to travel and meet up with other cast members,” she noted. Larissa continued, stating the obvious: “and we met.” It was an innocent date, which she explains in detail. Funny — when Corey met with David and Annie, we didn’t see thousands of fans accusing them of having a threesome. Larissa even furnished details of the date for the curious. “We had drinks, we played slot machine games, and talked a lot about life,” she recalled. “Nothing happened,” she confirmed. “Not even a kiss.” “I posted our picture because it was an innocent date,” Larissa emphasized. “And we are both adults.” So whatever has been going down with Corey and Evelin and their strained relationship, Larissa was not coming between them. Larissa’s initial post was simply of having bumped into Corey, of course. She changed her tune, however, when Evelin went on Instagram Live and called her “a frickin’ whore.” In response, Larissa stated that Evelin “should be more respectful toward other women.” That’s true. Also, towards sex workers. “Whore” should really drop out of use. Use “slut” as a compliment or not at all, and leave “whore” for sex workers to use if they so choose. “If she believes she is in a relationship, she should talk to her man to find out what happened,” Larissa suggested. She wrote: “instead of [making] assumptions about someone she does not even know well.” “I gave her advice and support when she [came] crying out,” Larissa revealed. Evelin had evidently been “asking me how [to] deal with haters in my [direct messages].” Both women were absolutely bombarded with hate for months from 90 Day Fiance fans who should know better. “Corey and I were not trying to ‘announce’ a relationship for publicity,” Larissa emphasized to fans, followers, and Evelin. “I’m still single and ready to find my king,” she stated. Well, Larissa is the self-styled “Queen,” so it’s natural that she’d be looking for a king. “Do you want [a] war? Let’s go to war,” she wrote to Evelin specifically. Let’s clarify who you are, OK.” Larissa strongly advised: “Deal with your problems with your man without [getting] me involved.” The feud went above and beyond name-calling, to the point where Larissa began publishing Corey’s private text messages. On the one hand, it could have been worse — he wasn’t sending her nudes or sexting her or whatever. On the other hand, he did tell Larissa a lot of Evelin’s private business, from her visa struggles to their relationship problems. Evelin was royally furious over that. If she and Corey can’t keep it together for a few weeks of turmoil, maybe they’re really not meant to be. That’s not Larissa’s fault.

Tekashi69 Signs $10 Million Record Deal From Behind Bars

We’ve got to hand it to Tekashi 69. Many celebrities have been imprisoned over the years, but very few have managed to remain this relevant while serving their sentences. Of course, that relevance is likely to get Tekashi stabbed the second he walks out of protective custody, but hey — bad press is better than no press, right? Actually, whoever came up with that saying probably would have agreed to the addendum “unless that bad press is likely to get you straight-up murdered.” Anyway, as you’ve probably heard, Tekashi recently took the stand and testified against two members of his former gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. As their name indicates, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods are not a group that you want to piss off, but Tekashi — real name, Daniel Hernandez — likely felt that he had little choice. When Hernandez was arrested for a laundry list of crimes last year, it initially looked as though he might remain behind bars for the rest of his life. But thanks to his testimony — which led to the convictions of Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack  — Mr. 69 could be a free man as early as next month. When he first started snitching, it was widely assumed that Tekashi would enter witness protection upon his release. Now, however, it seems the rapper has no intention of disappearing. In fact, he’s reportedly planning on becoming more famous than ever. According to TMZ, Tekashi has already sold the movie rights  for his tory to fellow hip hop artist 50 Cent. And that’s not the only wheeling and dealing Hernandez did from his cell this week. Multiple outlets have now confirmed that Tekashi has signed a deal with his old record label, 10K Projects, that’s reportedly worth more $10 million. While the exact terms of the agreement are under wraps, insiders claim the 69 has promised several projects to the label and plans to get to work immediately upon his release. Obviously, the guy has a lot to celebrate these days. But he has also many reasons to be fearful. Even if he’s safe from violent retaliation, as he clearly believes, Tekashi’s career might be over as a result of his decision to turn state’s witness. After all, credibility is king in the world of hip hop, and it seems unlikely that the record-buying public will rush to embrace a known snitch.

According to reports, the WBC Heavyweight is set to guest star on an upcoming episode of CBS’ MAGNUM P.I. In Friday night’s episode, entitled “Knights Last Forever”, Kumu and Higgins are in danger when Robin’s Nest is under siege by mercenaries storming the estate in order to find out the true identity of the White Knight, Robin’s muse and literary hero. Also, Rick and T.C. helps one of Rick’s employees (played by Deontay Wilder) when his car is stolen, and Higgins finally gives Magnum an answer about if she’ll become his partner.

But in his own words, athletes have done it before, and they still are “to this day!” Check out this behind the scenes clip of Deontay spending another day in paradise on the set of Magnum P.I .

Touché! Tip Talks Jay-Z, Jermaine Dupri NFL Dealings… Here’s His Professional, Positively Perspicacious Assessment [Video]

T.I. Talks Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri Working With The NFL Black folks have been side-eyeing the crap out of Jay-Z after he got in bed with the NFL for what felt like a shady (and pointless) partnership . Now, T.I. is weighing in on Hov’s decision, as well as Jermaine Dupri ‘s choice to partner with the Super Bowl when it was in Atlanta . But FIRST, in the exclusive Radio One clip the Rhythm + Flow host talks about becoming more involved with the community, saying he’s careful about categorizing himself as an activist … and here’s why: “I’m active, but I’m not an activist. I feel like an activist is more philanthropic. I’m in the for-profit biz. Activists are boots on the ground, they out doing the work, mobilizing, organizing, and sacrificing luxuries for the purpose of the greater good…” he explained. On Jay-Z and JD, he commented: “You see, at the time, my reason for not rocking with the NFL was because of how I felt they were manipulating the culture. I felt that they knew that Black dollars were important. Therefore, they came to Atlanta and I felt like they went all the wrong places and did all the wrong things to encourage the Black dollar at that moment in time. I feel like it wasn’t enough fair representation. JD was a good go, but I felt like it came after the slight — after I feel like we’d already been slighted — so, you know, he took a hard stand at it. I didn’t condemn him or criticize him for it. I told him I couldn’t participate. But, I think now that the smoke has cleared, I feel like, for me having that gripe — not being fairly or properly represented — if they go out of their way to find somebody who has an ability to fairly and properly represent the culture in Jay-Z, I can’t complain about that.” Check out the clip up top for his FULL thoughts, as he had a little bit MORE to say about JD, and let us know if you agree.

Jon Gosselin: Kate is Exploiting Our Kids for Cash!

Reports have said that Kate Gosselin is worried that Jon might expose her toxic parenting on his own show with Hannah and Collin. It turns out that she needn’t have worried. Jon is against his kids appearing on film, and he doesn’t need a reality gig to expose Kate for what she is. Jon says that Kate is violating a court’s decision by having the kids film, all so that she can exploit them for money to fund her lifestyle. In 2018, the Department of Labor declined to grant Kate the permits that she and TLC wanted. Why? Because both the department and a judge concluded that it was not in the best interests of her minor children to film for Kate Plus 8 . And yet Kate and the network continued to film Kate’s (remaining) minor children, both at home and on location in North Carolina. Speaking to TheDailyMailTV , Jon Gosselin unloads his frustrations that his ex is breaking rules about their kids just to rake in more money. “I’m furious,” he expresses. “Absolutely furious.” “[The network] didn’t care,” Jon Gosselin laments. “It’s really upsetting that big businesses and big corporations go do whatever they want, against a parent’s legal right,” he despairs.. “The judge and the guardian ad litem both agreed that it wasn’t in my children’s best interests to be filmed,” Jon points out. A guardian ad litem is appointed by a judge to evaluate a child’s welfare as an outsider who then reports findings to a judge. Jon continues: “but my ex-wife and TLC had other ideas.” “They put profits and ratings ahead of the well-being of my children,” Jon accuses. He continues furiously: “and filmed illegally without work permits.” “They literally don’t care,” Jon says. “They’ll pay the fine.” He hates that “big business will do whatever they want to do because they have the money to pay all the fines.” Any crime or violation that is payable by fine, from parking to filming without a permit, just means legal for rich people . Remember that. “This is all about money,” Jon notes. “This is a fiduciary thing.” He accuses: “This has nothing to do with anything else other than Kate’s lifestyle, not the kids’ lifestyle.” “Go get a job,” he indirectly tells Kate. “Support your own family.” “It’s disgusting,” he bemoans. “My kids work for her lifestyle.” “Kate does nothing,” Jon continues. “Zero. Absolutely nothing.” in September, Jon spoke of how toxic and damaging a household Kate has built for the children still under her “care.” “I do know what [Kate’s] capable of, whether it’s mental or physical [abuse],” Jon stated grimly. The whole world has known for many years that Kate is a monster. Jon points out that Hannah and Collin left a lot behind just to escape. “I have two kids in my house who left a whole pile of money behind,” he noted. “They left fame and money and came to my house,” he emphasized. “They left it all behind.” He also says that, actually, none of his kids really want to be reality stars. “They have all said they have to film because they feel they need to provide a lifestyle for their mother,” Jon revealed. “They don’t want to film,” he claimed. “They said they have to film. That’s heartbreaking.” “Why do my kids need to provide for themselves?” he asks. “They’re kids.” That is an extremely fair question. A lot of terrible parents exploit their children for reality fame. Networks profit from it. One day, laws need to be passed to prevent this sort of thing, be it Gosselins or Duggars or Teen Moms.

The Beef Between The NBA & China, Explained

Source: HECTOR RETAMAL / Getty The NBA was shoring up what looked to be a fruitful union with China, but now tension between the sports league and the communist nation looks to be growing by the day. After Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey tweeted in support of Hong Kong protestors, he set off a flurry of debate regarding free speech and the price of going into business with an entity known for its rigidness. To explain the rift in full, back on October 4, Daryl Morey tweeted out support of the Hong Kong protestors who are combating an extradition bill and other restrictions that infringe on the civil rights of those living in the semi-autonomous region. This tweet came just ahead of the Los Angles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets on the schedule to play in China this week. NBA commissioner Adami Silver offered not one, but two statements to satisfy China’s concerns around Morey’s tweet. Silver did say that he would not find Morey in contempt and won’t limit free speech in the league. Morey’s tweet, which has since been deleted, angered Chinese leaders to the point of upending a potential windfall of money. China’s state-run CCTV has since suspended all NBA pre-season games after issuing a statement. “We’ve noticed NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s response to the inappropriate remarks by Houston Rockets GM Morey. We are strongly unsatisfied and opposed to Adam Silver’s claim of supporting Morey’s rights of having freedom of speech,” CCTV5, a sports channel, said Tuesday on its social media page. “We think any remarks that challenge national sovereignty and social stability are outside the category of freedom of speech.” The Rockets were one of the more popular teams in China, due in part to the team drafting now-retired star Yao Ming number one overall in 2002. Yao, now the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, has not made any public comments about the rift despite his history with the Rockets and the NBA. The fallout from Morey’s tweet has been substantial, with community events, ticket sales getting halted, and Chinese celebrities shouting down the Rockets and the NBA in the process. The league, which enjoys a strong following due to the aforementioned Yao’s time with Houston, also has a $1.5 billion deal to stream games with the Tencent media company, with the service blacklisting Rockets games. Further, the CBA is no longer collaborating with the Houston Rockets. Despite the apologies from Silver and from Rockets superstar James Harden, China does not appear satisfied with the team’s effort for repairing the issue. Several Chinese fans were also ousted from pre-season games featuring the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers for holding fans that read “Free Hong Kong.” Additionally, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has urged the NBA to pull out of China, including the hosting of a training facility in Xinjiang, where it is thought that around a million Chinese minorities, the Turkic Uyghurs, are being held in so-called “re-education camps.” To underscore the seriousness of things, a CNN reporter attempted to ask Rockets players James Harden and Russell Westbrook if they will continue speaking out on social issues, most especially in the light of Morey’s Hong Kong utterance. An NBA spokesperson shut down the questioning promptly. #NEW : CNN reporter Christina Macfarlane ( @chrissymacCNN ) is quickly shut down by the Houston Rockets' media officer as she tries to ask a question about the NBA's ongoing standoff with China. pic.twitter.com/FP6jgBHUwu — Alex Salvi (@alexsalvinews) October 10, 2019 — Photo: Getty

The Beef Between The NBA & China, Explained

JWoww Reacts in Shock, Anger to Boyfriend’s Groping of Jersey Shore Co-Star

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Not when a bunch of MTV cameras are fixated on your every move. In the case of Thursday night’s Jersey Shore: Family Vacation episode, this meant that Jenni “JWoww” Farley had to learn that her boyfriend really does sort of suck. Immediately after meeting up with the whole group in Las Vegas on the episode, Zack Clayton Carpinello took an odd liking to Angelina. While day-drinking at a pool party, Farley made a comment about how Angelina doesn’t have sex with her fiancé, Chris, “but wants to bang everything else.” Okay then. “Yeah, what’s up with that?” Zack said to her. “Why don’t you have sex?” “I am having sex,” Angelina fired back, to which Zack replied: “Why didn’t you before?” After Angelina said they “had a little bit of a dry spell,” Zack, again, wanted to know why. He kept pressing her on this personal topic, leaving Angelina clearly annoyed. But she said it had to do with stresses related to their house. Jersey Shore Trailer Teases “All-Out War” Between Jenni and Angelina Zack still wasn’t finished sticking his nose in Angelina’s business. “When’s the last time you did it?” he asked Angelina, who answered, “Last week?” In her confessional, the reality star was rightfully pissed off. “If he comes at me sideways tonight, it’s game on, bro!” she vowed. “It ain’t happening. I’m gonna call him out and be like, ‘You have a 2-inch dick. Get the f–k out of here. You don’t know shit.’ I don’t like him.” Following an awkward dinner (at which Zack kept referring to Angelina as his “bestie” and Deena suggested everyone “squash this bullshit.”), the gang got hammered and went out to a nightclub. Early on, Angelina dirty danced on Jenni… and then leaned in and kissed both Zack and JWoww! Jenni didn’t seem to care, but she also seemed to have no idea what was going on. Jenni and her limp body eventually threw themselves on Zack who proceeded to put his hand around her neck while whispering in her ear. Within seconds, Farley was sitting on the floor, asleep with her head in between her man’s legs. She was just SO wasted, you guys. From there, Angelina began dancing by Zack’s side. He placed his arm around her lower waist/hip area and Angelina’s eyes immediately bugged out of her head — she told the camera that “his hands are big, so it was on my ass and my side.” Zack pulled Angelina in close and said, “Are we friends now?” He even grabbed her legs, prompting her to get up and start dancing next to him instead. “One minute he’s asking me about my sex life, the next minute he’s grabbing me!” Angelina said in a later confessional, adding: “He doesn’t know what boundaries are. This is gonna be a problem.” In the elevator on their way out of the venue, Zack put his arm around Jenni. He peered over at Angelina and put his other arm around her. As he leaned in, she stared straight into the camera and the episode ended. Crazy, right? Not just to viewers, but to Jenni as well. “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt. I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me,” Farley wrote on Instagram last night. “For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a storyline that will forever haunt me.” “My heart hurts on so many levels,” Jenni continued. “One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards.” While it is currently unclear whether or not Jenni is still with Zack and Angelina is still with Chris, or if they are, for how long, one thing is clear: The women will face the drama head-on during an explosion argument in an upcoming episode. This is just getting started. Stay tuned, folks.

Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Many people know Billy Porter for his Emmy-winning role as Pray Tell on the FX show Pose or his Tony-winning role as Lola in the Broadway musical Kinky Boots . But before he was owning the red carpet in skyscraping hats or glittering gold wings , he was crooning to some sophisticated lady friend for his 1997 music video “Show Me.” His powerful Tony-winning pipes were just as present in 1997 when he was hitting notes to the high heavens in honor of his buttery brown beauty. And yes, the song is also a bop. Watch Porter serve 1990s realness in the video below.   The song is from Porter’s 1997 self-titled album , which also includes such gems as “True Love,” “Love Is on the Way,” and “I Am a Spy”. Although Porter has always spent much of his life on the stage playing in theater shows like Dreamgirls and Angels In America , Porter has also been providing his gifts to recorded music. Along with his self-titled album, he’s also released Billy Porter Presents: The Soul of Richard Rodgers in 2017 and the Broadway-themed albums At The Corner of Broadway + Soul in 2005 and Billy’s Back On Broadway in 2014. So once again, Mr. Porter isn’t new to this, he’s true to this. If we’re going by the 1997 bops alone, we need another adult contemporary R&B album. Tomorrow.
