We’re just two weeks away from the premiere of Kocktails With Khloe – a new FYI network tall show in which Khloe Kardashian chats with celebrity guests while mixing up boozy libations. Haven’t heard of the show yet? Well, apparently you’re not alone, as execs are said to be freaking out about the lack of public interest surrounding what they thought would be a surefire hit. “They are really concerned with how little hype the show is getting and are really concerned with the fact that the show’s trailer has gotten fewer than 10,000 hits on YouTube,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online . “It is just very alarming to them, and they have asked Khloe to step up her game in terms of promotion.” Yes, with 10,000 hits from a woman who has nearly 40 million Instagram followers, it’s not hard to see why the folks at FYI are seeing a bit of a disparity. At the same time, it’s hard to be sympathetic to their plight. If the disaster that was Kris Jenner’s talk show taught us anything, it’s that no one is interested in helping members of the Kard clan make the leap into Oprah Land. To make matters worse, Khloe is having trouble booking guests , as it appears A-list celebs aren’t lining up to be interviewed by a Kardashian on a basic cable network no one’s ever heard of. Go figure. It’s a good thing the set will have plenty of booze on hand. Something tells us Khloe will need a kocktail when those ratings figures start coming in.

According to Fox News , Applebee’s issued a public letter offering their deepest apologies and are doing what they can to address her concerns.

A little Friday black girl magic… Amandla Stenberg Covers Teen VOGUE Actress Amandla Stenberg is Teen VOGUE’s latest cover girl and is sharing her Black Girl magic with the world. The 17-year-old “Hunger Games” star who caused a stir when s he blasted Kylie Jenner for rocking cornrows, sat down with her fellow “nonconforming black girl” Solange for her VOGUE shoot and dished on natural hair and her Niobe: She Is Life? comic book. She also used her time with Teen VOGUE to come out as bisexual. On her hair and that Kylie Jenner cornrow controversy: SOLANGE: Does it feel like sometimes you’re just exhausted talking about it? AMANDLA: Yo — yes! It’s so funny. I have many white friends who come up to me and they’re like, “Amandla, so this weekend I’m going to go out, and I was wondering if it’s OK if I could wear cornrows just on Saturday?” [Laughs] I’m tired of talking about who can have whichever style. Because I’ve said my thing. SOLANGE: Yeah,you made it clear in your video. It was so articulate and perfectly put! AMANDLA: It was when I was 12 and I got cast in The Hunger Games, and people called me the N-word and said that the death of my character, Rue, would be less sad because I was black. That was the first moment I realized being black was such a crucial part of my identity in terms of the way that I was perceived and how it would affect any line of work that I wanted to pursue. I often find myself in situations where I am the token black person. It can feel like this enormous weight. I have definitely had moments when my hair felt too big or like I needed to make myself…SOLANGE: Smaller. AMANDLA: Exactly. Smaller and easier to digest. On her comic book: SOLANGE: So what’s the deal with your comic book, Niobe: She Is Life? It’s sitting right here. It looks incredible. AMANDLA: Thank you! Growing up, I was always super into fantasy and The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones and all of that, but I could never find black characters whom I really liked. And so immediately I identified with Niobe, the lead character. She’s this rad black girl elf. It’s interesting because it is fantasy, but it’s also really kind of self-reflective. She’s finding her faith and finding her identity. And she’s going to keep growing until she becomes this warrior destined to unite the human world and the elf world. I think it’s officially the first comic book to be written by a black girl, starring a black girl [Niobe Ayutami], and illustrated by a black girl [Ashley A. Woods]. On her #SquadGoals friends like Willow Smith: AMANDLA: Oh, man. Well, Kiernan has been by my side since the beginning. Willow [Smith] is amazing. I feel like we were just meant to be friends. We were kind of vibing off each other from afar, and then she hit me up and was like, “Let’s hang out!” She has the most magnetic, radiant energy ever. Whenever we hang out we just laugh and we sing and we dance and we go hiking. Solange has since given Amandla a shoutout on her Instagram. There's a secret language between black girls destined to move mountains and cross rivers when the world sometimes tells you to belong to the valleys that surround you. You learn it very young, and it has no words, but you hear it and see it all around you. You sense it when you walk into rooms, your hair elevated with every exalted coil, your sway a little too swift, and your shoulders a little too proud. You feel it like a rhythm you can’t shake if you even dared to quiet the sounds around you. Amandla (@amandlastenberg) knows it all too well, “I think that when you’re a black girl and you grow up you internalize all these messages. Everywhere you look that tell you that you shouldn’t accept your hair, or your natural features, or that you shouldn’t have a voice, or that you aren’t smart. In terms of my evolution I think those internalized messages built up in my mind until I was given the tools to recognize the situation. And understand that no, there’s nothing wrong with me, these are just that these are just messages that we’re fed. I feel like the best way to deal with that has been just to be myself and connect with all these other black girls who are awakening and realizing that they’ve been trying to conform; and the only way to fight that is to be themselves on the most genuine level. ” So here we are, connecting as non conforming black gals. Connecting as girls who recognize the borders that have been built around us, but tearing them down while coloring outside every line. Connecting as lovers of wearing the color sienna orange. Connecting as two chicks exhausted by talking about our hair, although we of course know, it's bad ass. Connecting as humans who are both trying to figure out the mathematics of composer Steve Reich's – “Violin Phase “. Connecting as two descendants of powerful Queens, who roamed the journey before us, and we hold the most high. I may not have felt prepared, but I sure as hell felt inspired, deeply moved by the honesty shared between us, and ready to take on the world sprinkling black girl magic in every crevice of the universe. -Solange Come soon ✨ A photo posted by Solange (@saintrecords) on Jan 6, 2016 at 1:05pm PST What do YOU think about Amandla and her Solange penned cover story???

Sports Radio Station Warns Cincinnati About Ben Roethlisberger Bill Cosby is not the only one out here catching grief for his super-sketchy past with women . Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is headed to Cincinnati to face-off against the Bengals…and a local sports radio station is reminding everyone how the baller allegedly likes to get down in his free time… Via TMZ : Ben Roethlisberger is getting roasted for his history of sexual assault allegations — a Cincinnati radio station has issued a citywide Big Ben rape warning ahead of his playoff game against the Bengals. 700 WLW actually aired this spoof alert: “The Steelers quarterback has been spotted in the downtown Cincinnati area. All females ages 18-40 are to use extreme caution, especially if heavily consuming alcohol. Males should also be on the lookout just in case.” It goes on … “If you see Big Ben and he flashes little Ben you are asked to report it to authorities immediately.” There are more warnings, especially for chicks with boob jobs. Yikes! Well that’s one way to rattle the opposing team…
