Young Thug’s booking photo from Sept. 11 2018. Photo courtesy of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department Young Thug Turned Himself In Following Indictment On Felony Drug Possession Prosecutors are trying to keep rapper Young Thug locked up for good as he faces drug trafficking and possession charges, BOSSIP can reveal. Officials from the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office filed a motion Sept. 11 to revoke Young Thug’s bond. Prosecutors from the DA’s Office are scheduled to appear in court Sept. 13 to argue why he should go back behind bars until his case is resolved. The flamboyant artist and his lawyer have also filed a motion for bond and will argue why he should go free while his case is pending. Young Thug- whose real name is Jeffery Williams – turned himself into the DeKalb County Sheriffs Department Sept. 11 after a Grand Jury indicted him on several counts of violating the state’s controlled substance act. Cops arrested the “Gain Clout” rapper last year during a traffic stop after they allegedly found a gun, hydrocodone, a generic form of Xanax, marijuana and codeine. He is still being held in the Dekalb County Jail, according to a Sheriff’s Department spokesperson. It’s not clear why the DA want’s the rapper to languish in the county jail, but it may have to do with the fact that he took almost two weeks to turn himself in after law enforcement issued a warrant for his arrest. We reached out to the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office, but a spokesperson declined to comment. Young Thug is scheduled to be arraigned next month.

It's the Bachelor in Paradise scandal no one saw coming. On the Season 5 finale of this ABC reality series, Jordan Kimball got down on one knee and proposed to Jenna Cooper… and she said yes! Hooray, right?!? Not so fast. Around the same exact time this proposal aired, a handful of text messages went viral that Bachelor guru Reality Steve alleges were sent back and forth between Jenna and her actual boyfriend/lover this summer. It certainly appears as if Cooper was sleeping with someone else while she was being wooed by Jordan on the aforementioned series. What is actually going on here? And s there any chance Jordan and Jenna still walk down the aisle next year? Scroll down to get caught up… 1. What a Perfect Looking Couple Ah, yes, but looks can deceive. This is the most recent photo Jenna shared of herself and Jordan on Instagram prior to the cheating bombshell getting dropped online. 2. The Proposal Jordan asked for Jenna’s hand to wrap up Season 5 and the two then asked Chris Harrison to officiate their wedding in June of 2019. 3. The Wedding Would Have Been Televised, Too They announced on the finale that the date would be June 9, 2019 and Cooper said the following about the planned union to People Magazine: “I want our wedding to be extra and fun, just like our personalities. There will be some performances, some outfit changes.” 4. But Now? YIKES! It’s hard to believe the reality stars make it down the aisle, not when an unnamed person contacted Reality Steve and claimed to have been in a relationship nearly this whole time with Jenna. 5. Why Did This Man Come Forward? “Jenna is a manipulator. She manipulated me. She manipulates the other guys she ‘networks’ with and is apparently manipulating this Jordan guy,” he told Reality Steve, explaining that he met Jenna prior to Bachelor in Paradise filming and was still with her two days before the finale aired. 6. More Jenna Bashing: Added this individual of Cooper: “She uses men for money and business help and loves the attention along the way. And she just loves to rub in your face that she’s pretty and everyone wants her and how she can easily move onto the next. I’m tired of the bullshit and am calling her out.” View Slideshow
As you've no doubt heard by now, Hurricane Florence is due to make landfall early Friday morning. Meteorologists expect the storm to hit the Carolinas at category 4 magnitude, bringing with it devastating storm surges and 140 MPH winds. For obvious reasons, those living near the coast have been cautioned to evacuate. Sadly, some are forced to stay put for medical or other reasons. Then there are those who foolishly look at natural disasters as opportunities to put their badass survival skills to the test and inevitably end up begging for help from the same government organizations who implored them to head for safer territory. Guess which category Jenelle Evans falls into. Jump into the gallery below for the stirring saga that is Jenelle vs. Florence … 1. Jenelle Evans Hearts Hurricanes Jenelle posted this photo as the Carolinas brace for Hurricane Florence. She captioned the pic “#NewProfilePic #HurricaneFlorence #PrayForNC #PrayForSC” Good to see she has her priorities straight, 2. Give Us the Prayers, Dude! Despite being wealthy and not having a full-time job, Jenelle Evans doesn’t want to take the basic steps to ensure her family’s safety. She does want you to pray for her, though. 3. Sympathy For the Devil Yes, Jenelle won’t lift a finger to improve her situation, but she’s been posting tweets like this one to ensure her fans remain deeply worried about her well-being. 4. Be Concerned … But Not TOO Concerned Jenelle wants the best of both worlds. She wants the attention that comes with being in harm’s way, but if anyone advises her to save herself, she’s quick to assure them there’s no cause for alarm. 5. Jenelle-splaining When fans started to get serious and warn Jenelle to get the hell out of Dodge, she became irate, which is her response to literally every situation. 6. Angry Evans “I do not live in the evacuation zone or a flood area,” Jenelle tweeted. “Not sure what county you think I live in.” View Slideshow
Sami Drasin for The Hollywood Reporter Kenya Barris Reveals Why He Left ABC For Netflix Whew chile! Kenya Barris talked to The Hollywood Reporter and it might be one of the juiciest interviews we’ve read – like ever. Seriously. The drama is so real at ABC/Disney… We really wanted to cut and paste the WHOLE entire article but THR was generous enough to provide some key quotes. Much of the drama centers around ABC’s decision to shelve Barris’ episode about Trump, the NFL protests, and the Charlottesville attacks, but Barris also reveals his clashes with Disney exec Ben Sherwood, his thoughts on “monster” Roseanne Barr, and the anxiety of high expectations with a massive deal at Netflix: “I don’t know if it’s scary for Ryan and Shonda, but I’m fu**ing terrified.” Check out excerpts below via THR starting with all the drama over THAT infamous episode. Just for a better idea of what ABC opted to shelve, the episode centered around Johnson family patriarch Dre, played by Anthony Anderson, telling his infant son, Devante, a bedtime story that multiple sources described as a mixture of political allegory via an animated fairy tale about a character named The Shady King, and actual news footage of Donald Trump, the Charlottesville attacks and the NFL kneeling protests. “When you’re putting a baby to sleep, you’re trying to soothe whatever anxieties they’re having,” says Barris, speaking for the first time about the controversial episode. “So, this was about me trying to pat the butt of the country and soothe people.” The episode budget was increased beyond it’s usual $3 million or so cap to allow room for payments for rights and clearances for music and footage, including Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come,” which Barris personally met with Cooke’s goddaughter to secure. Barris hired a high-profile illustrator and Spike Lee contributed voiceover to the episode took its title (“Please, Baby Please”) and inspiration from a children’s book written by Lee and his wife. Sounds good right? Too bad we’ll never see it. What actually happened (THR Reporting): Executives at ABC, more than any other network, have been forthright about their desire for more red-state programming since Trump’s win — and with Barris’ latest episode, they feared they’d be alienating the very population they’d tried so hard to court. That Disney brass wouldn’t want to poke Trump himself just as the company was seeking Justice Department approval of its acquisition of most of 21st Century Fox is widely believed to have been a factor as well. Anthony Anderson, on ABC’s decision to pull the episode: “[Barris had] given his blood, sweat and tears to [the episode], which they had signed off on every step of the way — from the outline, to the script, to the table read, to the point where they actually spent the money and made the episode. And I don’t know what those conversations were, but we entered into this partnership with the understanding that we would be able to tell the stories that we wanted to tell.” Barris, on what went wrong: “I know there was some concern about partisanship; and the way the episode was angled and the balance in terms of some of the stories. On network TV, one of the things I’ve learned is that you have to talk about things from both sides.” Barris, on Bob Iger’s handling of the situation: “The boss doesn’t have to explain himself, but he explained enough — and he [did so] in a way that really gave light in a different way. And more than that, he spoke to me as a person.” Barris on Ben Sherwood, the man Iger put atop Disney’s TV assets: “The way that [Ben] chose to deal with me in this particular episode, I felt a way about it and I still do. He’d make it seem like it was an open environment but really it wasn’t, and those are things I see very clearly. Everyone wants to say it’s open arms, but just tell me it’s not and I’ll respect you more.” Barris, on why ABC & Barris mutually decided to scrap it after cuts: “What it ended up being, and I think the network would agree, was not a true representation of what we intended to do,” he says. “Because if it was, we would’ve shown it.” Welp… there you have it.

Tori Spelling has had problems these past few years. In fact, she’s had just about every kind of problem you can think of — and she appears to be hell-bent on making all of them worse. Tori has gone bankrupt and she seems intent on spending her way into an even deeper hole. Tori has nearly divorced Dean McDermott but has opted instead to tough it out, despite allegations of infidelity, pyramid schemes, and generally being a colossal d-bag. At one point, Tori even fell down at a Benihana and burned her hand on a grill. Like we said, think of a problem that’s not “not being born to a life of unimaginable privilege” and Tori has experienced it. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the mother of five appears to be hitting the bottle a bit these days. Or so her fans think. According to Radar Online, Tori uploaded an Instagram story over the weekend in which she appeared to be heavily intoxicated — in the presence of her kids. It seems Spelling was hanging out at the home of her friend, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star Josh Flagg, when she posted the slurry video to her page “Josh has chosen to watch one of my movies, Troop Beverly Hills , so I’m going to walk in the kitchen and see what’s up!” she told the camera at one point. “Are you really doing a fridge tour?” Tori’s confused 11-year-old son Liam asked. And it seems the former reality star’s followers were just as perplexed by her behavior. “Are you drunk?” asked one commenter. “Yo, you been drinking girl?” another remarked. “Are you hammered?” a third commented. Tori didn’t reply, but a second Instagram clip may have answered those questions. In the video, Tori could be seen screaming while rolling around with her kids on Flagg’s bed. The stories were quickly deleted, but it seems fans have yet to forget Tori’s tipsy upload. She posted a new story today, and many of the comments had to do with her boozy weekend. “Not drunk today?” a fan commented on Tori’s latest IG story. That’s the internet in 2018 for you. You can delete whatever you want, but that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten. View Slideshow: Tori Spelling: Could She Be Pregnant… AGAIN?!?

Image via UpperCut Image/Getty Officer Amber Guyger Did Not Know Botham Jean Before Killing Him Officer Amber Guyger did not know the black man she fatally shot in that “wrong apartment” shooting. As previously reported Dallas Officer Guyger shot Botham Shem Jean after she walked into what she reportedly believed to be her own apartment at the South Side Flats, located only about a block away from police headquarters. Since then rumors have run rampant that the officer and the victim actually knew each other and previously dated. A picture of them allegedly together then surfaced on social media. According to WFAA however, that’s completely untrue. A source with knowledge of the investigation told WFAA that rumors that the two knew each other and/or were involved are false. Attorney Lee Merritt, who is representing Jean’s family, also said that Jean did not know Guyger, according to family members. “We have nothing to substantiate those claims,” Merritt told reporters at a press conference Saturday. Guyger is currently on administrative leave.
Could it be true? Might it finally be the case? Do we at last have a reason to celebrate? These are the questions being posed by Royal Family fans around the Internet right about now, as a new round of Meghan Markle pregnant rumors are spreading throughout social media. The speculation is nearing an all-time high after the Duchess of Sussex attended the 100 Days to Peace Gala in London on Thursday, with all eyes fixated on her blue bespoke Jason Wu dress. It’s a beautiful number, about that there is no doubt. But was it covering an even more beautiful baby bump? Based on the type of gown Markle was donning, along with the position of her hands at times and the possible protrusion of her stomach, this is what some folks now believe. “I have a feeling Meghan Markle is pregnant,” wrote on random individual, while another noted that the former actress appears to have “glowing” skin and shinier hair than usual. Those would both be signs of pregnancy. And while it’s pretty much impossible to figure out such a status based on a handful of photos, we have to admit: We sort of see where these folks are coming from. We’re not saying Markle is pregnant for certain. But we’ve heard more outlandish claims based on far less revealing photos. For whatever it’s worth, Markle’s awful father has said multiple times of late that she and Prince Harry want to start a family in the near future. There have been tabloid covers left and rght ever since the stars got married in May that alleged a child was on the way. Heck, sometimes there’s been talk of TWO kids being on the way . But an Us Weekly insider says folks should slow their pregnancy role in this case. We’re not sure if this person knows anything for absolute certain, but this is what the source tells the magazine: “Chalk this pregnancy speculation to an unflattering dress and wind. “Meghan and Harry have a busy rest of the year. They are excited to start a family but have always wanted to focus the first year of marriage on their official work and starting to bring awareness to causes close to them. “That is their main focus before starting a family.” Fans do need to remember that the couple has not even been married for six months. It does seem very likely that they will be parents at some point, but that point may be the year 2020 or 2021. Perhaps even 2022. They are not in any rush, even if the desire is very much there. “I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young,” Harry told ABC News in May 2012, adding at the time: “I’m waiting to find the right person, someone who is willing to take on the job.” We think he found that person. But when their lives calm down a bit and they have more time to plan out their future, that’s when we’re guessing the unprotected Royal pounding will begin.
