When it comes to wedding plans, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are at a crossroads. Who will be part of the wedding party? Should Chyna make her future sister-in-laws her bridesmaids? Will Rob make any of his friends groomsmen? The answer to the latter is no, according to Kardashian himself. ” I got no friends ,” he told Ryan Seacrest during an On Air With Ryan Saacrest phone interview September 8th. “And the guys in this family keep disappearing but Kanye!” To be fair, Scott Disick is still hanging around, even though he and Kourtney are merely co-parents at this point in their relationship. View Slideshow: 9 Men Whose Lives Were Ruined By the Kardashians Kardashian and Chyna are promoting their new series, Rob & Chyna , which premieres this Sunday at 9 p.m. on E!. “Obviously, stuff is happening pretty fast and you’ll see all that on the show and everything,” Kardashian told Seacrest. “There’s definitely a lot of good things going on, a lot of learning each other still going on. “It’s a lot.” The couple gives a bit more background on their relationship, and why they chose to keep it from his family for as long as they did. “I couldn’t really say anything, I couldn’t really feel comfortable about talking to any of my family members obviously about the situation,” Kardashian admitted. “It was very, very complicated, but my happiness outweighed everything, honestly, at that point in my life. “She was making me feel very comfortable, I didn’t feel judged in her home, I was on my health tip, and I just felt very good.” Kardashian’s decision to go into hiding for two years made him reluctant to ask his family for help, because he was afraid they wouldn’t have an objective point of view on his mental state. “Sometimes your family can’t get you out of the worst place I was in,” he said. “I needed an outsider, and I couldn’t do it all myself. Chyna helped me through my rough time when I was uncomfortable in my skin and just trying to get over that uncomfortable feeling. She really helped me get pass that being judged.” As for their wedding, Kardashian and Chyna want it to be big, and Chyna revealed that she’ll probably have a few of her fiance’s sisters in the wedding. Regardless of who stands next to Chyna when she says “I Do,” she has buried the hatchet with Kardashian’s little sister, Kylie Jenner, who is dating her ex-fiance, Tyga. “Chyna and Kylie, everything is like good between them,” Kardashian said. Will you be watching Rob & Chyna this Sunday? Leave a thought in the comments section below. Rob & Chyna Preview: Chyna Kicks Rob Out Of The House
Mariah Carey is about to bare it all to the world. In a manner of speaking, that is, as the artist will star in her very own reality series on E! this winter. But Carey went ahead and bared all to the world in a very different manner of speaking this week, showing off some MAJOR skin on Instagram. In fact, we’re pretty sure Mariah Carey is naked in these selfies, wouldn’t you agree? Granted, she’s wearing some rather huge diamonds. And bubbles are covering her most private of parts. But still: there’s no clothing to be found. “Just got home after a long night at the studio!!!!!” Carey captioned one of these sexy snapshots, adding: “New music coming soon yayyyyyy.” In another caption, she simply wrote: “Bubbly times selfie.” Mariah’s World will debut on E! this December, although the singer is hesitant to call it a reality show. She told reporters over the summer that it’s more along the lines of a “documentary,” as camera will follow her around during her world tour. There will also be plenty of talk and plenty of storylines surrounding her engagement to James Packer . In the following trailer, Carey scoffs at the notion that she’s high maintenance, which is quite hilarious for anyone that has followed her career in any way, shape or form. Mariah’s World Trailer: Bring on the Puppies! Carey is 46, but she’s looking pretty darn great. And she clearly knows it. Over the past few weeks, Carey has been anything but shy when it comes to publishing pictures on social media. Consider the following image from a week ago: “It is really hard for traveling,” Carey told Entertainment Tonight earlier this summer about keepig in shape. “I just have to eat the same boring food all the time and I was trying to get in some water workouts with a trainer that is here.” Here , in this case, was a $25 million yacht anchored off the coast of Italy. Yes, it’s very tough to be Mariah Carey, folks.
Tom Hanks is a multiple-time Oscar winner who is beloved for such roles as Forrest Gump and that dude in Castaway. Ellen DeGeneres is an Emmy-winning talk show host who has emceed awards shows and judged American Idol. But to most kids around the world, Hanks is simply known as Woody from the Toy Story franchise, while Ellen is known as Dory from Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. Yup, both of these stars are members of the Pixar family. So when Hanks stopped by Ellen on Friday afternoon, he had no choice but to challenge the comedian to what we think is the first-ever Pixar-Off. At least we think this was the first-ever Pixar-Off. Feel free to tell us we're wrong. Who came out on top?!? It wasn't really that sort of competition. Instead, Hanks had audience members close their eyes and pretend they were in a room with Woody and Dory. Yes, that means you, woman in the audience! Close your eyes! What would their exchange be like? Woody would be all worked up and Dory would be very forgetful. Hanks, who is working on Toy Story 4, also talked about the stresses of voice acting, such as the constant clenching of one's diaphragm. It's not exactly fun to say the same words and phrases over and over, either. No, these aren't the biggest complaints on the planet. But the following exchange does provide some insight into the whole voiceover universe. Earlier in the week, Ellen cracked us up when she visited a mall with Britney Spears… … and moved us to tears when she helped bring Katy Perry together with an Orlando nightclub shooting survivor: We adore Ellen. She's the best. Check out her latest celebrity back and forth below:
There are certain ways to win back the woman you love. Sending a bouquet of flowers with a bill attached is not one of them. Apparently this is what Casper Smart did after his relationship with Jennifer Lopez ended . According to Life & Style , Smart dialed up Lopez’s favorite Los Angeles-area florist “and placed a custom order for $525 ” for two dozen pink roses. At first, you want to give the guy a break and assume he accidentally charged on the wrong account. It turns out, however, that Smart had meant to bill his ex, because “several hours later, J. Lo’s manager called Casper and yelled at him because he had charged the flowers to J. Lo’s personal account.” Lopez, 47, and her 29-year-old boyfriend split up in late August, a source told People Magazine. They had been dating on and off for five years. “Jennifer and Casper have split,” the source said. “They have not been together for a few weeks.” Nothing big caused the break-up, save for the obvious age difference. “It wasn’t anything dramatic and they were on good terms – it just came to a natural end,” the source insisted. “They will remain friends and they see each other, but they are not together. It was very amiable.” Of course, this is too dull a story for the gossip rags, who immediately started digging for some dirt on the former couple. In Touch beat everyone to it, claiming that Smart would not move out of Lopez’s home, despite being cut off financially. The horror! “He was refusing to move out of Jennifer’s house and even threatened legal action if Jennifer attempts to have the locks changed,” a source claimed. “He won’t accept that the relationship is over.” Or his cash flow. “She cut off all of his credit cards and access to a bank account she’d established for him,” the source added. “She was very generous to Casper. Dating her has a lot of perks — private-jet travel, over-the-top vacations, attending only the best parties — so Jennifer questions whether he’s in love with her or her lifestyle.” 50/50? May 40/60…commercial air travel is a real bitch these days, so it’s always nice to have that PJ gassed up and ready to fly.

Note to Kim Kardashian : You could learn a lot from Laura Mazza. Late last month, Mazza, who blogs for the website Mum on the Run, posted side-by-side photos of herself on Facebook. One was snapped before she had kids. The other was snapped after she had kids. And instead of focusing on some absolute need to lose all the weight that built up due to her pregnancies – like certain reality stars out there continue to do – Mazza said she wanted to share her “Victory Story” with followers. Meaning what, exactly? We’ll let Mazza explain in her own words because the words are all pretty much perfect. Take a look at the before-and-after images above and then read her inspiring message below: No, this isn’t a before and after shot of weight loss. But it is a victory story. I write this from my heart. It hurts. On the left – This was my body before kids. No stretch marks or scars from belly button piercings. A belly button that was high. A flat stomach. I was always on a diet back then. And this was the best diet I went on. I used to take photos of my progress. Uploading this photo wouldn’t be bad, it’s like me being in a bikini. It’s socially acceptable. I took progress photos because it meant I was closer to be a weight where I would love myself. I ate no carbs, and barely any vegetables. Just meat. But I loved it because I was losing weight rapidly and the more bones that protruded the more I valued myself. I ended up hating meat, and was always suffering from heartburn. But still I looked at this photo, this image of myself, like I was fat. There was nothing wrong with the way I looked. My body was mine. No one else would have said anything, they would have told me I looked fit, that I was healthy. I remember people asking me what my excercise routine was… They admired me. I admired me! I bought a whole new wardrobe. I was so proud. I showed off my body. On the right is me now. Stretch marks. A droopy belly button. Thicker, not many bones protruding, but more dimples that represent cellulite. People don’t want to see this photo. All of a sudden it’s not okay. It’s not pleasing to the eye anymore. It’s not a body to be admired. This body, it’s not a result of just meat. It’s a result of eating everything. Fruit, vegetables, carbs; pasta, rice, cakes, chocolate.. Sometimes 20 chicken nuggets. Fish… It’s not always healthy but 99% of it is. The nuggets are for when I’m tired.. Sure. The scars and stretch marks and jiggly tummy is because I made humans. I ate a little more cake, I drank a little more wine. I made mug cakes at 9pm and snuggled on the couch with my husband. But for some reason, I didn’t love this body. It’s sad. This body didnt deserve sexy underwear, or a new wardrobe. Sometimes I didn’t even want to take pregnancy photos because I was ashamed of how big I looked. I didn’t admire this body. I felt like people were forcing me to love my body. “You’ve only got one”… Well, I don’t care. I want to be skinny. But shit, when I was, I wasn’t happy. And I certainly wasn’t healthy. But you know what? I have achieved more with this body, then I have with my old body. I’ve eaten more good foods. I’ve lived more, I’ve given more, I’ve enjoyed more. I’ve made life. This body, THIS body should be celebrated and admired. I should admire myself. I should love myself. I get it now. Celebrating all body types. All body types and the stories that go with that body. Above all, THE person should be celebrated. Healthy bodies should be celebrated. Healthy should be what we strive for. Healthy minds, healthy journey’s and however that reflects on to our bodies, we should admire it. I still want to look like the first photo, no doubt. I miss that body, it makes me sad. But I want to get there in a healthy way, mentally and physically. I want to be proud and at peace with this body. And I want to like what I’ve got now. No.. I want to love what I’ve got now. No matter what size you are, a size 6 or size 60. You deserve to celebrate it. Sexy underwear AND a new wardrobe. So love your body, because you truly really really, only get one! And it’s STILL sexy to wear granny jocks! Woop woop! Case closed. Mic dropped. Internet hero, revealed. Thank you, Laura Mazza.

Tika Sumpter On The Cover Of Fit Pregnancy Tika Sumpter sure makes pregnancy look REALLY good. The ‘Southside With You’ star covers the October 2016 issue of Fit Pregnancy magazine. Not only does she look stunning inside, but she also gives a lot of juicy inside scoops — including what her parents and “Haves And Have Nots” boss Tyler Perry had to say when she revealed her pregnancy to them. Check out that answer and more excerpts when you continue. On keeping it under wraps…but eventually telling your boss: “I didn’t want to hear, ‘Who’s the dad? Are you with the dad?’ Social media can be harsh, and I’m a mama bear, protective of my family. So that’s why I waited to tell people, including some friends. My friends weren’t mad at me. They said, ‘You did it the way you wanted to do it. You’re an inspiration.’” “It’s hard to be pregnant, because you get scared about your job. I even felt worried about telling my agent and manager. Then when I was five months, Tyler Perry [her boss, the creator of The Haves and Have Nots] texted me, ‘Are you pregnant?’ Inside, I was thinking, ‘Oh, my god, how did he know?’ I wrote back, ‘What are you talking about? You’re crazy!’ But when I saw him that afternoon, I told him. He just said, ‘I knew it! Tika, this is going to be the best time of your life.’ I feel lucky that he’s been so supportive.” That’s definitely the way that a boss (especially of TP’s stature) should react. As for the Who’s the dad question — we feel like that’s what everyone is waiting to find out. Hit the flip for more. Photo Credit: Fit Pregnancy/NINO MUÑOZ
The weekend is here and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to share the official video for Charles Jenkins’ single “Winning” . You may remember the lyric version we posted a few weeks back. We’re also excited to let you know his new album ‘Think About These Things’ is available in stores and on iTunes now. Here’s the details: Charles Jenkins has seen the light and with the release of his new album, Think About These Things, he has created a perfect medium to pass along his gift to others as well. Jenkins—the Senior Pastor and Founder of Fellowship Chicago—is a natural born leader and an excellent communicator, which paves the way for his seemingly effortless creation of uplifting music. The current Chicago resident began the rollout of Think About These Things with the positive, spirit-filled single “Winning” and things have taken off from there. The lively effort came with production from Grammy Award winning producer Warren Campbell, who has produced for the likes of Kanye West, R. Kelly, and Snoop Dogg. With his soul embedded in his work, Charles hopes to find the success with the release of his new LP, just like he has had with previous with singles “Awesome” and “#WAR,” as both reached #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart. Think About These Things comes with 10 cup-filling tracks that will leave you feeling better than you were upon pressing play and you can find the project in its entirety here via iTunes .
