Don’t Tell Hov: Rihanna Says She Declined Super Bowl Performance To Support Colin Kaepernick ‘I’m No Sellout’

Source: Han Myung-Gu / Getty Rihanna Declined Super Bowl Performance To Support Colin Kaepernick Rihanna is confirming what’s been suspected, she turned down the Super Bowl halftime performance as an act of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. Our favorite Bad Gal is on the current cover of VOGUE and inside she’s speaking on a number of topics including Deranged Dorito and her plans to release a reggae album. View this post on Instagram @badgalriri is our November issue cover star! She talks to @abbyaguirre about @fenty, that album you’re waiting for, being happy in love, and, oh yes, she has a few choice words for the president. Tap the link in our bio for the full profile.

A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine) on Oct 9, 2019 at 6:37am PDT Things got especially interesting however when RiRi was asked about the Super Bowl. Rumors previously swirled that she turned down an opportunity to perform during halftime and Rih told VOGUE it’s “absolutely true” because she didn’t want to be a “sellout” and go against Colin Kaepernick. WELP–sorry, Hov ! “I couldn’t dare do that,” Rihanna said of the halftime show. “For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.” OOOOP! That’s not the only part of the interview that’s interesting, however, people are pointing out that the interviewer Abby Aguire blatantly confessed that she “didn’t have time to prepare questions” for Rih—-SERIOUSlY?! “Normally I bring a list of questions, but I didn’t have time to prepare one, which I make a split-second decision to confess. “I’m winging it, so you have to help me,” I say nervously. Rihanna flashes a grin that is somehow both reassuring and mischievous. “Aren’t we all?” she says.” Uhhh….now if a blac….

Lil’ Kim Offered The Fade To A PETA Protestor [Video]

See the rest here:

Source: James Devaney / Getty It almost got a little spooky for a PETA protestor in New York yesterday (October 8) when Lil’ Kim was heading to an engagement. The protestor got a little too close for comfort and there was a moment the Queen Bee was set to offer the taper and the fade. TMZ has the rest: Lil Kim wasn’t about to let an anti-fur protester tell her what animals she can and can’t wear … nearly trading blows with the woman before security stepped in. Kim was outside Verizon Media Studios in New York City Tuesday when multiple anti-fur protesters started shouting “Stop wearing fur!” at Kim. One woman got just a little too close for LK’s liking … and that’s when she started walking toward the woman telling her to “back up” several times. Lucky for the protester, Kim’s security stepped in between the two and diffused the situation, ’cause it looked like the rapper was ready to throw down.

Speak On It! Rihanna Says Donald Trump Might Be “The Most Mentally Ill Human Being In America”

Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty Rihanna Speaks On Trump’s Racism While Dealing With Mass Shootings Rihanna is killing every magazine cover in sight, and today, the mogul revealed that she’s on the cover of Vogue’s November issue–wearing her very own Fenty designs, nonetheless! In the issue, which hits stands on October 16, Rih talks about everything from fashion to politics, including some choice words she has for y’alls lil president. When asked about her reactions to the recent El Paso and Dayton attacks, she  said “That should never, ever be normal. And the fact that it’s classified as something different because of the color of their skin? It’s a slap in the face. It’s completely racist.” Rihanna continues, “Put an Arab man with that same weapon in that same Walmart and there is no way that Trump would sit there and address it publicly as a mental health problem. The most mentally ill human being in America right now seems to be the president.” Beyond her very on-point analysis of the f***ery being performed by Donald Chump each and every day, Rih also confirms in the interview that she did in fact turn down a Super Bowl halftime show opportunity out of support for Colin Kaepernick. “Absolutely, I couldn’t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that? Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.” You can read Rihanna’s Vogue cover story in full over here .

Ashley Martson: Jay and I Are Back in Each Other’s Lives!

Last month, we were stricken with horror at the idea that Ashley Martson and Jay Smith might get back together . We soon dismissed our concerns because they had simply arrived, separately, at the same venue. After all, this 90 Day Fiance couple was riddled with scandals and disasters even before their deeply contentious divorce. Only now, in an interview with In Touch Weekly , Ashley reveals that she and Jay are no longer at odds. Most worrying of all, she has even dropped her PFA order against him. Oh no, Ashley! 1. Ashley has us so worried with this As you are about to see, Ashley’s recent playful banter with Jay on social media is just the tip of the iceberg. 2. Jay had a birthday this week On Tuesday, October 8, Jay Smith turned 22 years old. He’s begun to have the Bad Birthdays — after 21, each milestone is a reminder of the relentless march towards the grave. But that didn’t stop him from celebrating 3. Jay wasn’t the only one to mark the occassion Ashley Martson took to her Instagram Stories to wish Jay a happy birthday. Or, more specifically, to write “Happy Birthday, Loser!” In case anyone might think that she was picking a fight with actors Bella Thorne or Percy Hynes-White, she tagged Jay. 4. And Jay responded … “Thanks, punk!” he wrote above a screenshot of Ashley’s message. They may be hurling mild insults at each other, but this looked alarmingly playful to a lot of fans. 5. Fans were understandably alarmed A certain level of communication is often required for an ongoing divorce. But no divorce forces the pair to wish each other a happy birthday on social media. What’s going on? 6. And wait, are they even allowed to speak? Jay spent almost all of the month of July in ICE custody after violating the PFA — protection from abuse — order that Ashley had taken out to keep herself and her home safe from him. Are they even supposed to be interacting like this? View Slideshow

Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson: ACTUALLY Getting Back Together?!

Way back in April of 2018, Tristan Thompson got caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian with a slew of random groupies while he was on the road with the Cleveland Cavs. Khloe forgave Tristan — and he quickly made her regret it. Not long after, Tristan was caught cheating again — this time with Kylie Jenner’s longtime best friend Jordyn Woods. It was the ultimate betrayal, and Khloe once again kicked Tristan to the curb. On the second offense, she seemed to have every intention of sticking to her guns. But time heals all wounds, makes fools of us all, etc. Choose whatever cliche you want — the point is, it looks like Khloe is once again on the verge of giving Tristan another chance. According to a new report from Radar Online, the former couple never really cut the lines of communication. Which is not surprising — these two have a daughter together, after all. But it seems that in recent months, the conversation has shifted away from toilet training in favor of talk about making more babies. “Khloe and Tristan are talking so much lately,” an insider tells the site. “And it isn’t just about their daughter, they talk a lot just about regular life,” the source adds. Obviously, the idea of Khloe getting back together with Tristan is horrifying, but sadly it seems the ladies of the Kardashian clan won’t be stepping in to put a stop to this ill-advised reconciliation. “Kim actually likes Tristan and has been saying she likes hanging out with him, he is a cool guy,” says the tipster. “Kim has been open about hating Tristan for what he did to Khloe, but she has definitely been nicer about him lately.” Yes, Kim made no secret of her hatred of Tristan after word got out of his repeated infidelities. We’d be more than a little surprised if she really abandoned that antipathy, but then again, it seems Thompson is quite adept at acquiring unearned forgiveness. And apparently, these days, he’s laser-focused on winning back Khloe. “Tristan does all sorts of flirty things, like sending Khloe flowers and little gifts, all trying to convince her to give him another chance,” says the source. “But so far it hasn’t worked and they’re not back together — yet,” the insider adds. “Khloe hates that she likes Tristan and wants to be around him. So far she isn’t letting anything romantic happen.” Apparently, one thing that’s made it difficult for Khloe to take Tristan back is the fact that he will 100 percent cheat on her again. The source says that Khloe “doesn’t trust him at all,” but finds herself conflicted about how to move forward: “She wants him to be in True’s life, but she doesn’t have faith in him now,” the insider claims. “He’s putting in a huge effort with Khloe and she told him to cut it out in public.” Referring to Tristan’s thirsty comments on Khloe’s Instagram pics , the source adds: “No more comments on social media because it makes him look pathetic.” Bruh. That’s way down the list of things that make you look pathetic. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Makes Stunning Admission, Says Tristan Thompson Threatened to Kill Himself
