Drake: Jealous of Rihanna-Hassan Jameel Relationship?

No need to engage in any of that past life-regression hypnosis nonsense. We already know you weren’t the best person in your previous incarnations, know why? Because if you were, you would’ve come back as Rihanna, of course! Sure there are richer, more famous, and even more talented celebrities, but no one on Earth can match Queen RiRi’s genius for living well. Sometimes, she overshadows massive parade floats with her bikini body at the Crop Over festival . Sometimes, she messes with the world’s most famous athletes in the middle of the NBA Finals just for the fun of it. In everything she does, Rihanna has spent years living the good life in a way that even most of her fellow famous millionaires can only imagine. And though it may have once seemed impossible, the 29-year-old music icon has recently stepped her game up once again. Back in June, we learned that Rihanna is dating Hassan Jameel , a billionaire Saudi billionaire, whom she’d been seeing on the sly for several months. Insiders say RiRi is head over heels, and it seems the situation has riled one of her most high-profile exes. Rihanna dated Drake twice in the past few years. Both times, it ended badly, but it seems Drizzy is still holding a torch for his most famous ex. “Drake has always had a thing for Rihanna, and still does,” a source tells Hollywood Life. “They’ve hooked up and tried dating numerous times over the past, but it’s never worked out to be a permanent thing, and that’s something he regrets to this day.” The insider says Drake recently sent a sly message to Rihanna via Instagram, posting a photo in which he’s rocking a pair of socks from her fashion line. “The socks photo was his way of ruffling Rihanna’s feathers and letting her know he’s still out there and thinking of her,” the source claims. The insider adds that Drake is well aware that he and Rihanna do not have a future together, but that’s not enough to stop him from lusting after her: “If they did try to date again it would likely never work out because it’s all about the passion and sex with them, and when everyday life starts to creep in they inevitably start drifting apart,” says the source. “But that doesn’t stop Drake lusting after her, and he can’t help thinking that Rihanna could be the one that got away.” Fortunately for Drizzy, there’s big money in radio-friendly breakup ballads.

Dick Gregory Dies; Iconic Comedian Was 84 Years Old

Dick Gregory, a legendary comic who was also well known for his work as a civil rights activist, died on Saturday in Washington D.C. He was 84 years old. Gregory had recently rescheduled an event in Atlanta due to a hospitalization, although the cause of his illness and his subsequent passing is unknown at this time. “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and love, and respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time,” wrote son Christian Gregory on social media, adding: “More details will be released over the next few days.” While serving as a member of the military in the 1950s, Gregory started his career as a stand-up comedian. He didn’t specialize in harmless, observational humor, however. Quite the opposite. Gregory satirized segregation and racial injustice in his acts; he was arrested several times in the 1960s for joining civil rights rallies. In 1961, he rose to prominence as the first black performer to perform at a white club after Hugh Hefner gave him a regular gig at the Playboy Club in Chicago.   He earned rave reviews at the time and eventually signed a three-year contract to serve as a headliner at the establishment. Always with an eye on societal issues greater than his own career, Gregory was once invited to perform on The Tonight Show in the days of Jack Paar… … refused unless he was able to have a seat on the couch. “He taught us how to laugh,” wrote Reverend Jesse Jackson upon learning of Gregory’s passing. “He taught us how to fight.He taught us how to live. “Dick Gregory was committed to justice.I miss him already. #RIP.” A motivational speaker later in life, Gregory wrote several books, including “Murder in Memphis,” which analyzed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Also a writer – particularly respected for the documentary “Joe Louis: America’s Hero… Betrayed” – Gregory was ranked by Comedy Central as the 82nd best stand-up comic in history. “Dick Gregory lived an amazing, revolutionary life. A groundbreaker in comedy and a voice for justice,” John Legend Tweeted as a tribute to the icon, while DL Hughley added: “Heaven just got funnier.” We send our condolences to the loved ones of Dick Gregory. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam

Taylor Swift: WIPED From Social Media! Was She Hacked? New Album on the Way?

As of today, Taylor Swift has been wiped from social media. Her accounts are still there, but every photo that she’s ever shared, and even her profile pictures, are gone as if they’d never been there. You might even say that she has … blank space . Today’s date is actually a big deal for Taylor Swift, so — whether she was hacked or did this herself — the timing is not a coincidence. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr (she used to be very, very active on Tumblr) show zero activity on Taylor’s accounts. Taylor Swift’s abrupt social media cleanse has fans buzzing. That’s very understandable. There was absolutely zero warning. Sure, Taylor’s been less active in recent months on social media than she had been int he past. Just this summer, she broke what had been months of social media silence to congratulate Selena Gomez on Selena’s new music. Some wonder if this is just paving the way for what’s to come. Others worry that Taylor’s been hacked — that someone got access to all of her accounts and decided to just wipe them out. Her Instagram account looks like this now: Aside from little details like her follower count, that looks like a brand new account instead of one belonging to one of the most popular celebrities in the world. But today, August 18th, isn’t just any day. Today is the three-year anniversary of Taylor Swift dropping “Shake It Off.” Today is also the three-year anniversary of Taylor Swift announcing her 1989 album. Yeah. So, barring some very unlikely malfunctions that occurred simultaneously on multiple social media platforms, there are two possibilities. One, that someone wanted to hurt the singer — because they could — by wiping out years of hard work. Two, that Taylor is preparing for something. Think of it this way: 1989 marked Taylor’s foray into the true mainstream. Her previous albums had enjoyed tremendous popularity, but they’d already had a strong Country element that limited their appeal. 1989 had none of that. However, last year, with Taylor already fearful of overexposure and weakened by Calvin Harris’ treachurous tweets at her after their breakup, Taylor Swift faced Kim Kardashian’s carefully timed attack . So many fickle fans turned on her, calling Taylor a “snake.” (Now, Taylor Swift is 100% a Slytherin, but that’s no insult and also not what people meant) It’s been more than a year than that shameful time, and it feels like the time is right for Taylor to come back. So today could mark preparations for Taylor to drop a new album. We cannot tell you how exciting that is for us. She’s wiped the slate clean and can be reborn anew, rising stronger. Taylor has already vanquished a foe in court this week, winning her court battle against the man she says groped her . She’s also been putting her money where her mouth is and donating to help other women who have been sexually assaulted . Now sounds like the perfect time for a grand resurrection of her career. Whatever Taylor has planned, we can’t wait to see it! View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Albums: The Definitive Countdown!

Ronnie Wood: Rolling Stones Guitarist Reveals Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Here’s a sad story for music fans … Ronnie Wood, guitarist for the Rolling Stones for over 40 years now, has just revealed that earlier this year, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. And he’s sharing intimate, heartbreaking details about his journey in a new interview with Daily Mail’s Event magazine. “Did I think I’d ever make it to see this?” he began. “Hell no! Someone up there must like me. And luckily someone down here likes me too.” Honestly, it is kind of shocking that he’s still around making music — with all the booze, drugs, and smoking, he hasn’t exactly been kind to his body in his 70 years. But thankfully, he’s been sober for a while now, and he quit smoking last year when his wife gave birth to twins, two little girls they named Gracie and Alice. Still, Ronnie said “I had this thought at the back of my mind after I gave up smoking a year ago: ‘How can I have got through 50 years of chain-smoking — and all the rest of my bad habits — without something going on in there?'” As he found out a few months ago though, there was something going on in there. “I’ve had a fight with a touch of lung cancer,” he revealed. “There was a week when everything hung in the balance and it could have been curtains — time to say goodbye. You never know what’s going to happen.” He said that he found out about the cancer back in May, when he got a check-up ahead of this fall’s Rolling Stones tour. As he explained, all the band members are required to have physicals before any touring can happen, and when he got his, the doctor “asked me if I wanted him to go deeper and check my heart, lungs and blood.” “I said, ‘Go for it.'” “And then,” he said, “he came back with the news that I had this supernova burning away on my left lung. And to be totally honest, I wasn’t surprised.” He hadn’t had a chest x-ray since he went to rehab in 2002, and with how much he smoked, and considering he only quit last year, it makes sense. The doctor asked Ronnie what he wanted him to do, “and my answer was simple: ‘Just get it out of me.'” After the discovery of the tumor, he underwent more tests to see if the cancer had spread, and “if that had happened, it would have been all over for me.” “I was prepared for bad news but I also had faith it would be OK,” he said. He and his wife didn’t tell anyone at all about what was going on, “because we didn’t want to put anyone else through the hell we were going through.” “But,” he added, “I made up my mind that if it had spread I wasn’t going to through chemo, I wasn’t going to use that bayonet in my body.” Not for any deep reasons though — he said that he planned on refusing chemo because “I wasn’t going to lose my hair. This hair wasn’t going anywhere.” Luckily he didn’t have to make that decision for real, because the cancer hadn’t spread, and he and his doctors made a plan to remove the tumor as soon as possible. “Just before I closed my eyes for the operation I looked at the doctor and said, ‘Let battle commence,” he recalled. Now, three months later, Ronnie says that he’s “OK,” but he still has to have checkups every few months. “I was bloody lucky,” he admitted, “but then I’ve always had a very strong guardian angel looking out for me. By rights I shouldn’t be here.” And it’s a good thing, too — he’s got two little babies to care for, and three adult children, too. Best wishes, Ronnie! View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer

Blac Chyna: I’m Going to Do Music Now!

Blac Chyna’s known for her modeling, but she’s also dipped her toes into reality stardom. After Rob Kardashian’s revenge porn attack , it’s very clear that Angela Kardashian just wasn’t meant to be. Nonetheless, Blac Chyna knows that all eyes are on her at the moment, and she’s going to use this bump to launch her new career … as the next Nicki Minaj? Blac Chyna is still reeling from Rob Kardashian’s social media tantrum. In addition to accusing her of using drugs and cheating on him, he shared graphic nude images of her butt, bare breasts, and of her genitals. Rob’s just a classy guy like that. To make matters worse, Rob shared the nudes to attempt to make fun of her appearance, at one point laughing at how “overly large” he thought that Chyna’s nipples were. Dude … she’d recently given birth, and they weren’t even that big, you creep. Posting those photos in the first place could land Rob in serious legal trouble . Because revenge porn is super illegal, as it should be. Critiquing her body like that? That’s just gross. And then there was the fact that Blac Chyna accused Rob Kardashian of domestic violence , which is even more serious than revenge porn. No matter how this whole thing ends, the outcome will impact their nine-month-old daughter, Dream, for years to come. With all of that baggage and more, TMZ reports that Blac Chyna is looking to dive into a new career: Music. More than that — she apparently wants to be the next Nicki Minaj. (There’s already a Nicki Minaj who’s alive and well, folks) According to what multiple sources told TMZ , Blac Chyna has already begun using a recording studio. Though she’s said to still be in talks with several major record labels, and has already met with at least one — Capital Records. As far as what sort of music she’s interested in doing, Chyna’s interested in some variety: Rap, poetry music, and traditional singing. No, we’re not sure what exactly  poetry music means, either. And if TMZ knows, they’re not sharing. Recently, Blac Chyna and Nicki Minaj both appeared for cameo roles in Yo Gotti’s music video for “Rake It Up.” TMZ believes that this experience was an impetus behind Blac Chyna’s decision to enter the music business herself. As you might recall, what put Blac Chyna on the proverbial map to begin with was serving as Nicki Minaj’s body double. (Those aren’t easy … “shoes” … to fill) The context was actually for Kanye West’s music video for “Monster.” You know, in case you feared that, with Tyga and Kylie broken up, Blac Chyna didn’t have enough ties to the Kardashian family. We don’t know if Blac Chyna is really passionate about making music or if she sees this as a way to stay relevant for the long haul and, of course, as a potential cash grab. Whether or not she’s after cash, Chyna might want to make sure that any child support agreements between her and Rob are set in stone. At $6 million, Rob’s estimated net worth is about 50% more than Chyna’s at $4 million, but that could change radically in just a couple of years as contracts and concert revenue starts pouring in. TMZ says that Blac Chyna isn’t into diss tracks, so we guess that she’s not planning any lyrical retaliation for Pilot Jones’ diss track against her. Probably.
