He recently sat down with Bishop T.D. Jakes to talk about the importance of mental health and why it is still so taboo amongst people of color. Speaking on the book Bishop T.D. said “I’ve never read a book where the author was so transparent”, Charlamagne then spoke about how he has become more vulnerable, “I think going to therapy the past couple years has made me vulnerable, or maybe it’s not even therapy, maybe its the fact of turning 40 this year, being the father of 3 young girls, being married, life has made me more vulnerable” . Later, the discussion turns to social media and the way people are suffering because of the pressure to be hot on the internet. Hopefully, something said here serves purpose in your life.

Source: VH1 / VH1 Solo Lucci Says Alexis Skyy Has Dodged Giving Him A DNA Test As usual, some online DRAMA popped off after last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop NY aired. This time, it all stemmed from Alexis Skyy’s back and forth with Fetty Wap , and his apparent refusal to acknowledge her baby girl Alaiyah as his own. During the episode, Alexis claimed that the main reason that Fetty was reluctant to claim his child is that her ex-boyfriend and fellow LHHH castmate Solo Lucci has been running around claiming the baby could be his. We had a chance to chat with Solo Lucci recently and asked him directly if he believed he is the f ather of baby Alaiyah . Here’s what he exclusively told us about it. Are you Alexis Skyy’s real baby father? Don’t nobody know but her and God. I’ve reached out to her multiple times about taking a test, but she was so adamant to me that it wasn’t mine. She told me over and over that it wasn’t. At this point, I figure she knows. It’s her body. I don’t really know what’s happened since then, I‘ve been trying to get to the bottom of it. I think kids need their fathers, so I still do plan to take a DNA test. I tried to go take one, flew in, but when I got there she had left town for an appearance or something. So I’ll just have to try to find a time to go back and handle it. If Alaiya is indeed yours, do you plan to help take care of her? Absolutely! If she’s mine I’ll definitely step up and be a father. And since last night’s episode aired, he’s had a few additional choice words for Alexis and her claims that the only thing keeping Fetty from fathering his daughter is the fact that Lucci is “clout chasing” by claiming her baby could be his: Welp, check out what Alexis has to say about all of this after the jump… Vh1/YouTube

On Monday, Pete Davidson spoke out about bullying that he has received from people encouraging him to take his own life. It was strongly implied that at least some of these vicious trolls were misguided fans of Ariana Grande, his very recent ex. Ariana herself is speaking out in Pete’s defense. After Pete shared his heartfelt post, Ariana shared an image of it along with a message of her own in her Instagram Stories. “I know u already know this,” Ari tells her fans and followers. “But I feel I need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others.” That is a very delicate way of asking people to not be monstrous cyberbullies. “I really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity,” Ariana affirms. She then reminds everyone: “I care deeply about Pete and his health.” “I’m asking you to please be gentler with others,” Ariana emphasizes. She then says that she wants people to do so “even on the internet.” “I’ve learned through my own mistakes,” Ariana shares. “Not to be reactive on socials.” Sometimes, when you feel passionately about something, you speak out on social media. It can make you look like an ass. When you’re Ariana, however, your words can be incredibly powerful. An impulsive tweet could ruin someone’s day or their life. “So,” Ariana admits. “I do understand.” Ariana reminds her fans to have empathy and compassion for others. “You truly don’t know what anybody is experiencing ever,” Ari notes. And she follows that by speaking, very generally, about how people so often hide their pain. “Regardless of what they choose to display on social media or how they may appear in public,” she writes. In other words, just because Pete smiles and jokes on Saturday Night Live doesn’t mean squat. “I can promise u that,” Ari affirms. “So please,” she implores her followers. “Let whatever point you’re trying to make go.” We cannot emphasize enough how diplomatically Ariana is phrasing her message. This is smart — it’s a plea to her fans, rather than an attack which might only make people defensive. “I will always have irrevocable love for him,” Ariana writes. “And if you’ve gotten any other impression from my recent work,” she says. “You might have missed the point.” Her record-smashing song, “Thank U, Next,” was not a diss track — it’s a very positive breakup anthem. In his original post, Pete Davidson shared that the bullying that he received began before Ariana ended their engagement. “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months,” he wrote. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly,” he says. Pete has been very forthright about his struggles with mental illness and addiction, using his platform to help others. Pete writes that he has done so “only in hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” Anyone imploring someone who struggles with suicidal ideation should also remember that they could be held liable for someone’s death. Remember that girl who texted encouragement to her boyfriend before he ended his life? Yeah. But, more importantly, bullying someone is monstrous. Whether you’re doing it because you don’t think they’re right for your favorite singer or because you think they were a bad fiance, just … be gentle. In general, just try being nice almost all of the time. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande DESTROYS Haters Over Disgusting Mac Miller Comments!
Every royal pregnancy becomes a subject of global fascination, but the scrutiny and speculation surrounding Meghan Markle’s forthcoming bundle of joy might be unprecedented. Barring some sort of royal massacre worthy of George R.R. Martin, Meghan’s child will never inherit the throne, but the unborn guy or gal is already receiving more press attention than any monarch of the modern era. Of course, one of the more obsessed-over mysteries is the question of whether Meghan is having a boy or a girl . And for the past week, social media has been abuzz with reports that the Duchess of Sussex might be expecting a boy and a girl. Yes, the tabloid press is convinced that Meghan is having twins , and as far as we can tell the speculation began with a single report: “Meghan’s hinted numerous times that ‘double trouble’ lies ahead,” a source told Us Weekly , adding that Markle has been “spotted affectionately putting her hand on her stomach and saying she can’t wait to meet ‘them.'” In suspicious fashion, the “insider” abruptly shifts from the vague to the very specific “Meghan has been busy decorating a safari-themed nursery” with two cribs in her apartment at Kensington Palace and that “Harry’s been helping, putting up shelves and ensuring everything is baby-friendly.” The Kensington Palace part should’ve been enough to tip the public off about the bogus nature of the report as Meghan and Harry are currently moving out of Kensington and relocating to Frogmore Cottage. But many appear to have been swayed by the Us piece. In fact, some folks are so convinced that they’re willing to put money on it. An Irish company with the hilarious name of Paddy Power had been accepting bets on the outcome of Meghan’s pregnancy, but they stopped due to the influx of wagers from gamblers who think she’s expecting twins. “An unprecedented amount of bets on Meghan and Harry to have twins has forced us to stop taking bets on the market altogether,” said a spokesperson for the company. “Since the day began, the stream of bets has led us to believe that perhaps the punters — or an insider source — knows something more than we do.” In the week since the twin rumors went public, several sites, including the eye-rollingly sanctimonious Gossip Cop have come forward to bravely refute the claim. The site claims that not only is Us lying about the twin thing, there’s also no truth behind reports that Kate Middleton is throwing a shower for Meghan and has “hired a caterer to make blue cupcakes,” thus indicating boys are on the way. We suppose that part makes sense, as Meghan and Kate are in the midst of a feud that’s making headlines globally. As for what exactly is going on in Meg’s uterus, we’re guessing only a select handful of people are privy to that information — and none of them work at Us Weekly or Gossip Cop.

Reports in various tabloids have Meghan Markle feuding with Prince William , Duchess Kate, and the Queen herself. Kensington Palace has been shooting down these rumors left and right. But a new report says that it’s been at Meghan’s insistence, and that she wants to bring in a Hollywood publicist. RadarOnline reports that Meghan is so tired of being portrayed as a demanding beast in the media that she wants to do damage control. “Meghan wants to hire a Hollywood publicist,” an insider claims. “She’s losing trust in her advisors,” the source says. The insider continues: and feels they are hanging her out to dry.” Yikes. Further breaks with tradition may not go over well — or have the effect that she reportedly wants. The rumors about Meghan Markle’s diva demands are constant. Some claim that she’s driving dedicated staffers to quit their jobs. Then there’s a recent story in which she allegedly made Kate Middleton break down into tears. She’s also said to have snapped at the other family’s staffers. But Kensington Palace, which rarely addresses these tabloid rumors unprompted, did address these incidents. “This never happened,” the Palace reported. According to the inside source that spoke to RadarOnline, however, the palace’s denial is just further evidence of Meghan’s obsession with publicity. “Meghan demanded that the palace comment and defend her,” the insider claims. “They don’t usually respond,” the source notes. The insider continues: “but she was freaking out, saying if they don’t respond she will.” So she’s allegedly using threats to handle things herself to change how the entire royal household operates. We’re also meant to believe that she is frustrated that Prince Harry won’t go on television to shoot down these rumors. “Harry is lovestruck,” the insider affirms. “But,” the source claims. “You can tell even he is getting exasperated. The insider says that Harry is on his last nerve “with the way she’s steamrolled over his life.” One would think that, if he didn’t like her impact on his life, he would not have married her. It’s alarming to hear of someone trodding all over their spouse’s family and turning an organization on its head. But is it true? We have to remember that there is no confirmation that any of this has taken place. In fact, nothing that we know for sure about Meghan makes this seem likely at all. All of this does sound like the behavior that we might expect from some people, however. Meghan’s evil half-sister Samantha Grant and her blundering father, Thomas Markle, sound like the sorts of people who would freak out about every tabloid story. We suspect that Kensington Palace and Meghan Markle are both of one mind about the rumors that come up about her. They’re ridiculous, but they don’t warrant anything more than a simple official denial, if that. Why? Because of course some people dislike Meghan. Maybe they feel that Harry’s wife should be British, or white. Others may not-so-secretly resent her because they themselves had harbored a crush on Prince Harry. So there are people who are eager to believe anything negative about her. And then there are people who are just plain bored, and want to hear something interesting about the Royal Family. Those folks should just strap in and wait for Meghan’s due date. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!
Source: Marvin Joseph/The Washington Post/Getty Images / Getty SMH… Jacquelyn Smith Stabbed After Giving $10 To Panhandler Now THIS is an extremely sad story. A kind-hearted Baltimore woman is dead after her husband says she gave money to a woman who was panhandling to “feed her baby.” Keith Smith tells ABC News that he was driving his wife Jacquelyn and daughter Shavon home after Shavon’s birthday party when his wife spotted a woman begging for money while holding what appeared to be baby. Jacquelyn asked her husband to pull over so she could help out the woman who was standing near a man on the corner. As Jacquelyn handed over the money, Keith says the man reached into the car and began stabbing his wife in the chest before grabbing her necklace and running. “As she was handing her the money, the guy came to say ‘Thank you,’ and the woman was saying ‘God bless you. God bless you,’” Smith recalled. “While we’re looking at her saying ‘God bless you’ and my wife was handing her the money, he came over to the car and said ‘Thank you’ and then he started stabbing my wife and snatched her necklace off and ran.” He said the female panhandler reached into the car, grabbed his wife’s purse and scurried off into the darkness. DISGUSTING. Keith then drove his wife to Johns Hopkins Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Baltimore’s Interim Police Commissioner is seeking the public’s help in identifying the two suspects. The female suspect is described as being in her 20s with medium brown skin, a medium build, about 5 feet tall, and wearing a long brown coat. The suspected male accomplice is black, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build, a goatee and was wearing a black hoodie. We hope that these two heartless people are captured immediately. Our condolences to the Smith family!

According to Kandi, Porsha’s boo likes to buy his women Rolexes and get them tattooed on him. We saw it all blow up in Kandi’s face and lead to a confrontation, but the question remains: why the hell does she care so much about Porsha’s life anyway?
