Apega/WENN.com Rumor control… Tinashe Explains Her Colorism Comments After getting obliterated on social media, Tinashe is explaining the convoluted comments that landed her in hot water. Tinashe recently chatted with The Guardian about her upbringing and life in the music industry. Things got especially interesting however when the “Too On” songstress spoke on colorism in the black community. According to Tinashe, in the music biz you’re “either Rihanna or Beyonce… “It’s kind of like sport; people feel like they have to pick a side.” Suddenly she springs forward, her default laid-back demeanour temporarily out of the window. “There are hundreds of [male] rappers that all look the same, that sound the same, but if you’re a black woman, you’re either Beyoncé or Rihanna. It’s very, very strange.” Judy Eddy/WENN.com and sometimes the biracial songstress doesn’t feel “fully accepted” in the black community. “Tinashe’s mixed-race heritage, which was used “as another example of why I was different” during those difficult school years, also remains an issue. “There’s colourism involved in the black community, which is very apparent,” she says carefully. “It’s about trying to find a balance where I’m a mixed woman, and sometimes I feel like I don’t fully fit into the black community; they don’t fully accept me, even though I see myself as a black woman. That disconnect is confusing sometimes.” A shrug. “I am what I am.” Did you notice that she didn’t say her light skin tone is to blame for her shaky career??? Tinashe’s since taken to Twitter to defend herself and she’s adamant that her comments were taken completely out of context. https://twitter.com/Tinashe/status/874667420434157568 https://twitter.com/Tinashe/status/874683574166798336?ref_src=twsrc3A2Fallhiphop.com2F062Ftinashe-responds-backlash-colorism-comments%2F What do YOU think about Tinashe explaining her colorism comments???

Image via WENN Footage From Kendrick And Rihanna’s “LOYALTY.” Leaks Online Kendrick Lamar’s latest album DAMN. is still in rotation for the summer with mirror-shakin’ bangers like “HUMBLE.”, rapper-chewing records like “ELEMENT.” and tenderly touched jams like “LOVE.”, but it appears that another fan favorite is getting the video treatment for the next single. Twitter is abuzz with excitement after someone (probably a coffee-fetching intern) let loose this footage that appears to be the filming of Kung Fu Kenny and Rihanna’s trappy allegiance anthem “LOYALTY.” #INFO : Le clip #LOYALTY (Kendrick Lamar feat. Rihanna) a été filmé hier. pic.twitter.com/k32pk8RgGU — RIHANNA NOW (@RihannaNowFR) June 10, 2017 No sign of Robyn in this clip, but that appears to be Kendrick sitting in a throne while being serenaded by a harem of subservient strumpets. Guess we’ll have to wait for the video’s release before we know for sure. What do you think? Hate it or love it?

(Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images for NARAS) Is Beyonce In Labor The Beyhive really needs to get in on this Trump/Russia investigation because they can get to the bottom of everything.

Demi Moore appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Monday to promote her upcoming movie, Rough Night . But it was a rough photo the actress showed off to the audience that has the Internet talking today. And what users are saying goes something like this: WTH happened?!? “You sent us a photo and it’s the most insane thing I’ve ever seen,” Fallon said at one point in his interview. “How did this happen?” Fallon then held up a picture of Moore on her sofa at home. At least we assume it was a picture of Moore. One would be forgiven for being confused, considering the woman in the photograph was missing her front two teeth. “I sheared off my front teeth,” the 54-year old actress said simply. Well, yes. That much is apparent. But HOW? “I’d love to say it was skateboarding or something really kind of cool, but I think I think it’s something that’s important to share, because I think it’s literally, probably after heart disease, one of the biggest killers in in America, which is stress,” she explained, addingL: “Stress sheared off my front teeth. But, in an effort to get ready for you, I wanted to make sure my teeth were in.” Moore went on to say she really is missing “both” of her front teeth, although “the picture is only minus one.” The actress joked that her kids “love” her toothless appearance “because they think it makes me look more vulnerable and more human.” We guess we can understand that. Demi Moore is one of the most beautiful actresses of all-time. That can be intimidating for anyone to encounter, even for her children. In all seriousness, though, Moore dropped the stress-related PSA story and said she “literally knocked [the teeth] out” not very long ago. “It was almost like it fell out and my warranty was up. I swear!” she said. “Thank God for modern dentistry. All of you who go out and practice modern dentistry – thank God!” Moore proceeded to shared a video of herself acting all silly on Snapchat, explaining that it was filmed at her dentist’s office. Drugs can be a wonderful thing, you know? “People have a hard time at the dentist,” she told the host, “And I think it can be a lot of fun.” Incredibly, this is the second time Moore has lost a tooth. Way back in October of 2010, during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show – filmed while she was still married to Ashton Kutcher – Moore told a similar tale of what transpired. “Thank God for modern dentistry,” she said at that time as well, continuing: “I had a bad bite and knocked my own front tooth out, which basically fell out into my hand, and I just thought my warranty was up. That was it. “I called out and said, ‘Baby, my tooth has fallen out of my head.'” At the time, Moore saids he was clenching her teeth and was “a little too tense” in hindsight. “I was sitting at my desk and I felt something drop and I caught it and looked down, and there was my tooth.” These things happen? We guess? And when you’re Demi Moore, apparently they happen more than once.
