Alexis Arquette: Cause of Death Revealed?

Yesterday, we reported that actress, model and transgender activist  Alexis Arquette had passed away at the age of 47. Alexis turned in memorable performances in films such as Pulp Fiction and The Wedding Singer , and she was the sister of famed actors David, Patricia and Rosanna Arquette. No official cause of death has been given, but a statement from her brother Richmond Arquette gave the impression that the passing was not unexpected. “Our brother Robert, who became our brother Alexis, who became our sister Alexis, who became our brother Alexis, passed this morning,” Richmond wrote. “He was surrounded by all of his brothers and sisters, one of his nieces and several other loved ones.” Richmond added that Alexis’ final moments were arranged in accordance with her last requests: “As per his wishes, we cheered at the moment that he transitioned to another dimension,” he noted. Usually when a celebrity passes at such a young age the assumption is that substance abuse or an accident were involved. In Alexis’ case, however, she was surrounded by family and friends and seemed to know in advance that her passing was imminent. Now, a former lover named Robert Dupont has come forward claiming to know the cause of Arquette’s untimely death. “Alexis was living with AIDS and she had an inoperable tumor and she had developed an infection,”  Dupont explained to Radar Online. “I was told that went to her liver and throughout her body.” Dupont, who reportedly dated Arquette for “several years” in the ’90s, added that Alexis was “in an induced coma” at the time of her passing. Sadly, Dupont says Arquette’s final years were difficult for her: “She was working as an artist and living in an Actors Fund home in West Hollywood for people with HIV and AIDS. She hated it,” he tells the website. “People kept breaking into her apartment and they did alcohol and drugs. Alexis hated that. She never did drugs and she didn’t drink. “Her family offered to have her live with them, but she wanted to be independent.” A second source confirmed that was ill for several years, but remained focused on her art and her career despite her difficulties: “Towards the end she was in a lot of pain, but she was not going to give up,” the unidentified insider says. “She was holding on so hard at the end and she was such a fighter. Alexis was sick for so long.” The source confirms that Arquette never even dabbled with intoxicants of any kind: “I never ever saw Alexis do drugs — she never did cocaine, speed or anything like that,” the insider says. View Slideshow: Alexis Arquette: Mourned and Honored by Hollywood “She lived a life that is fearless. When she started doing drag it was very taboo. “She was crazy … she was really wild. As wild as she was, she was always super loyal to her friends.” In the 24 hours since her death, several celebrities and thousands of fans have taken to Twitter to honor Alexis with kind words and her favorite songs.

Fifty Shades Darker: Teaser & Poster Released!

Mr. Grey will see you… in February 2017! The sequel to the hit movie is just months away and we could not be more excited.  Sure, it was ludicrous in every sense of the imagination, but we must know what happens next.  Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson will return as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, respectively.  The movie will center on the continued relationship between Grey and Steele, but their relationship will take a darker turn.  We’re not sure that was even possible, but we’ll for sure be watching the movie.  The official poster is as elegant as you would imagine. Naturally, Grey is putting a masquerade ball mask on Steele. Should we have expected anything less? This is a movie about BDSM.  She looks very happy to have it on and even poses for the camera.  The teaser trailer for the new movie was also uploaded to Instagram.  This comes one day before the official trailer is set to make its way on to the internet.  Fans will no doubt be super happy with the teaser.  Obviously, it doesn’t give much away.  It’s more of a taster before the full trailer is released.  A video posted by Fifty Shades Darker (@fiftyshadesmovie) on Sep 12, 2016 at 8:02am PDT There has been a huge amount of press surrounding reports that Jamie Dornan wanted out of the role, but that’s far from the case.  The second and third movies were shot back-to-back and production is now complete, so he’s completed the work he was contracted.  There is word that a fourth movie in the franchise could be made, but this would depend on whether E.L James was open to writing another novel in the series.  There’s also a possibility that a movie version could be made from Christian’s perspective. It wouldn’t be all that interesting, but it would probably make some more money for the studio.  The first movie was critically panned, but it managed to make $571 million at the worldwide box office.  That’s hardly a number to sneeze at considering the production budget was $40 million.  The movie could make a lot less this time round and still be considered a huge success.  There is a chance that the negative reaction to the first movie could echo through to the sequel. That happen a lot with movies.  If you release a turd, don’t expect the fans to return.  Maybe a turd is a strong word to use, but the quality of the finished product did not live up to the huge hype.  What do you think of the latest intel on the movie? Should the third one be the end of the franchise? Hit the comments below!

Beyonce Backup Dancer Gets Engaged… Mid-Concert!

Queen Bey temporarily ceded her throne over the weekend. In the coolest of ways. On Saturday, September 10, Beyonce brought her world tour to a stop in St. Louis, Missouri. At one point during the evening, she and her backup dancers broke into a rendition of “Single Ladies.” This was not unusual, of course. But what happened about a minute into the performance was definitely NOT par for the musical course. Beyonce stopped to invite a certain someone on stage, that someone being the boyfriend of lead backup dancer Ashley Everett. His name was John Silver and this is what he said in front of thousands of people: “I don’t know if y’all know this young lady, she goes by the name of Ashley Everett. She’s my queen.” He then address Everett directly; “Baby, I know that you don’t think that I express my love to you in front of everybody, so I feel like what better time than now to do it in front of thousands and thousands of people.” Silver then got down on one knee and popped the question. After Ashley said yes, he replied the only way he really could: “So I put a ring on it. Thank you, Bey.” After receiving congratulations from Beyonce, the music commenced and the ladies actually finished the “Single Ladies” choreography without missing a beat. It was awesome: Everett, it should be noted, as been with Beyonce for years. She was part of the original “Single Ladies” video. And she was very clearly taken by enormous surprise here. “Still wrapping my head around the incredible, magical moment that happened last night! It was an absolute dream come true!” she Ashley wrote as a caption to the following picture. “Thank you to everyone who helped make it so epic and iconic, and to everyone who supports us and congratulated us! “To my now FIANCÉ @1j.silver YOU DID THAT & I LOVE THE SH*T OUT OF YOU!!! Shocked is an understatement. “I'm so overly excited for this new chapter in our lives and of course I can't wait to be your WIFE!!!” Silver also posted his excitement over the news, saying on Instagram that he “almost threw up my balls” before he went on stage.  We're sure glad that didn't happen. We're guessing Everett feels the same. Watch the amazing proposal now:

Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly: It’s Over! Again!

It seems like was just last week that we reported Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly were back together  and officially in a relationship. Oh, wait … That was just last week. Yes, we think it’s safe to assume that Minka’s douche detection equipment is much more powerful than Demi Lovato’s, as sources say the model has kicked Wilmer to the curb after just a few days of dating. In fairness, Minka and Wilmer dated back in 2012, so she had some warning that the douche-nado was headed her way. So she loses some points for taking Wilmer back in the first place… …but she quickly redeemed herself by kicking his ass to the curb. “They stopped dating,” a source confirmed to Us Weekly today. Since Us was the tabloid that revealed these two are dating in the first place, it’s safe to assume they know what they’re talking about. On the surface, it looks like a “friends with benefits,” fling-type situation, but the insiders seem to believe there was more going on. One source claims the couple actually got back together several weeks before we previously thought. The insider says the Minka-Wilmer reunion actually lasted about a month before it imploded, presumably over a fight about who has the quirkier first name. The reconciliation came just a few months after Wilmer and Demi Lovato broke up after six years of on-again, off-again dating. We’re guessing Demi was more than a little surprised by how quickly Wilmer moved on. Sadly, we weren’t exactly shocked. Wilmer has a reputation for living his life like he’s taking his cues from an unused Entourage script. We’re guessing after he broke up with Demi, the Turtle in Wilmer’s life twisted a couple doobs and discouraged him from calling up his ex, but Wilmer did it anyway, because while he’s totes a chillaxed bro, he’s kind of a romantic too, ya know? View Slideshow: 18 Most Bitter Breakups in Hollywood History Anyway, thankfully Minka was having none of it. Of course, this is a woman who dated Derek Jeter , and just about every dude on the planet pales in comparison to El Capitan. It’s a truth A-Rod knows all too well.

Kendall Jenner Cites Squad Name, Throws Shade at Taylor Swift

You may want to take cover, Taylor Swift. Kendall Jenner just hurled some major shade in your direction. Several weeks after Kim Kardashian went hard after Swift, exposing the singer as a pretty huge liar, the reality star’s half-sister has swooped in and taken a somewhat less direct swipe at the famous solo artist. But let’s not kid ourselves: It’s a swipe nonetheless. In a cover story for the October issue of Allure, Jenner is asked if her group of friends has a name. This is clearly a question inspired by Swift and her “Squad” because no one had ever thought of naming one’s group of friends before Taylor came along. That’s not an insult in and of itself. It’s just the truth. So, how did Kendall respond to this question? As follows: “This is going to sound really, really lame, but we all call ourselves the Super Natural Friend Group because we all have such cool individual lives and we’ve been dreaming about them since we were so young.” Jenner is talking about a clique comprised of such other stars as Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin and Cara Delevingne. And she is ABSOLUTELY taking a jab at Swift with this response. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Squad Members: An Official Who’s Who! Swift, of course, has become famous for walking the red carpet with her circle of friends, along with posing on Instagram with them and talking about them incessantly. They include such famous names as Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Karlie Kloss. But what started as a fairly harmless and cute gathering of close pals has devolved into a source of mockery. Jenner refers to her friends as “Natural” in the above quote because some believe Swift’s group is anything but; it can come across as contrived and PR-driven. Swift has been accused of acting like a diva and controlling everyone’s plans and lives; which, again, relates to Jenner’s commentary on how she and her friends are all about the “individual.” Kendall is selling herself here as the anti-Taylor Swift, as someone who is on equal footing with her other, very successful cohorts. This is supposedly in contrast with Swift, someone who she thinks stands on a soapbox over her so-called friends and bosses them around. Are we reading too much into a seemingly simple answer from Kendall Jenner? No. We are not. Because there’s no way they actually call themselves the Super Natural Friend Group. View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner Magazine Covers: She’s Everywhere! When describing the kind of friend she is, Jenner mentioned her astrological symbol and told Allure: “I’m a Scorpio, so I stick to people. If I love you, I love you. If I don’t like you, you’re screwed.” Taylor Swift disses aside, here’s what we really want to know: Is Kendall dating A$AP Rocky?!? Also unlike Swift, Jenner isn’t about to get into detail about her personal life. “I just – my personal life, I’m so young,” she says. “Whoever I’m dating, or going to be dating, is young, too. So I don’t think it’s figured out. Do you know what I mean? So if I don’t know what it is, I’d rather not let everyone else know.” That is a very mature, reasonable answer. It is also a very boring one. How can we turn that into a controversial celebrity gossip story?

Rihanna: Naked & Holding a Baby in Weird New Pic

As anyone who follows her on Instagram knows, Rihanna is often naked . And she often posts photographs of herself in various states of undress, and for that, we are eternally grateful. But as much as we appreciate RiRi nudity in all its forms, we have to say, her latest is a bit … strange. The pic is part of Rihanna’s latest shoot with Terry Richardson , the photographer who’s as well known for his eccentricity as for his ability to get famous people to take their clothes off. So that partially explains what’s going on here, but this one’s weird even by Richardson’s standards. We have so many questions. First and foremost, why is she holding a baby? Is she trying to make a point about breastfeeding in public? Is this some sort of statement about how nudity is our natural state? Are we over-thinking this and it’s some weirdo sh-t she and Richardson dreamed up while stoned out of their gourds? It’s possible that the answer to each of those last three questions is “yes.” But let’s get back to what’s really important about this photo: Rihanna’s boobs . In all likelihood, you’ve seen them before. In fact, there’s a chance you’ve seen those particular boobs more than your own or your spouse’s. So what’s really interesting here isn’t the fact that Rihanna’s boobs are on display. No, what’s unique about this pic is where it was posted. Instagram’s no-nipple policy has made headlines in the past, but it seems that the site has relaxed a bit on its anti-boob stance. This pic has been on Richardson’s page for almost four days now, and it hasn’t been removed by the IG’s boob-hating admins, which is remarkable. Richardson has over a million followers and this particular pic has almost 34 thousand likes. Needless to say, it’s been in wide circulation for the better part of a week, and as you probably know from your own experiences, social media is a fiery cauldron of rage, so you know someone has reported it. Or maybe not. Maybe we’re progressing as a society, evolving as a people. View Slideshow: 39 Ridiculously Racy Rihanna Photos Maybe everyone who this pic, said, “Hey, boobs never hurt anyone!” and just kept moving. Or maybe once again we’re putting way too much thought into Rihanna’s boobs. It’s something we find ourselves doing often.

As-Salaam-Alaikum: Watch Kevin Gates Make His Trip To Mecca

Kevin Gates’ Trip To Mecca Has A Profound Effect On The Rapper Anybody who has followed Kevin Gates knows he’s a bit of a character. Still, one of the things he appears to take most seriously is his religion. As a man of Muslim faith and the means to make the trip, Gates made the Hajj to Mecca and it’s a trip he captured on video. He touched and kissed The Black Stone, which is located at the center of the Grand Mosque. His ensuing reaction and how he talks about the way he was embraced on the trip is definitely a cool thing to witness. Via XXL Anyone who follows Kevin Gates has seen a change in the Bread Winners Association boss in the last year. For one, he is now a married man having wed his longtime girlfriend last October. He has also become a devout Muslim. The Baton Rouge MC recently took the pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia to visit the revered Kaaba, and from the looks of things it was a very spiritual experience for the platinum rapper. According to Muslim tradition, The Black Stone, located in the center of the Grand Mosque on the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, is a monument that dates back to the era of Adam and Eve. Muslims from all over the world make the trip to Mecca during the Hajj and many visit the Black Stone to touch and kiss the darkened rock as part of the Tawaf ritual. Gates posted video to Instagram of himself and his wife approaching the Stone. He explains how one of the military men guarding the Stone invited him and her to kiss it, which he is humbled by. In the clip, Gates can be seen kissing the Stone at the designated location on the rock. As he makes contact with the Stone his shoulders start to quiver as if he has been moved to tears. A woman in the background then begins to shout in what sounds like Arabic. “This Man I’ve never met – embraced me as if we had known each other our entire lives – one of the greatest Muslims I’ve met in my life – #AllahuAkbar,” he captioned the video. “To be be healed is to be be healed from all things – I’ll never forget this day – in this life and the here after – May Peace Be Upon you All,” he added. Gates seems to be in a good space religiously, financially and music wise. It was recently revealed that his debut album Islah has been certified platinum. Spearheaded by the double platinum single “2 Phones,” it is the first debut album released in 2016 to reach the milestone. And he did it without any features. Word to J. Cole. Congratulations to Kevin Gates for making the holy trip and for his album  Islah,  which has been certified platinum.

Update: Hilary Clinton Regrets Saying That Trump Supporters Belong In A “Basket Of Deplorables”

SMH… Hilary Clinton Apologizes For Trump Supporter Comments Remember when we told you that Hilary Clinton went IN on Trump supporters and said that half of them “belong in a basket of deplorables” ??? ‘To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. ‘Unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.’ Well the Presidential candidate is backing away from her comments. CNN reports: Hillary Clinton expressed “regret” Saturday for comments in which she said “half” of Donald Trump’s supporters are “deplorables,” meaning people who are racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic. “Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,” Clinton said in a statement in which she also vowed to call out “bigotry” in Trump’s campaign. The Democratic presidential nominee sparked an uproar late Friday when she described Trump’s supporters at a fundraiser. “To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.” Clinton then said some of these people were “irredeemable” and “not America.” She described the rest of his supporters as people who are looking for change in any form because of economic anxiety and urged her supporters to empathize with them. Say it with your chess, Hil! Her apology makes sense considering how sensitive folks are these days, but she definitely wasn’t wrong!
