Kanye Names New Album “The Life Of Pablo,” Raps About Ray J After egging fans into a guessing game with the promise of Yeezy Season 3 tickets and a free pair of Yeezys, Kanye West finally revealed the latest name of his 7th solo album. Originally called SWISH, then on to the surprisingly controversial Waves…’Ye revealed a few days back that the new album would be called T.L.O.P., but didn’t reveal what the letters stood for. Instead he asked fans to guess. Well, someone apparently cracked the code and now the album title has been revealed…and it’s just slightly more confusing than his past 150 album title choices: Although we aren’t exactly sure which Pablo he’s referring to, our first thought is Pablo Escobar (maybe ‘Ye is a big “Narcos” fan?)…but knowing Kanye, it could be Pablo Picasso. Hell, it could be Petey Pablo for all that. On top of all that, a supposed clip from one of T.L.O.P.’s tracks where Kanye details that he and Ray J would probably actually be friends if not for Kim’s role in both their lives: Interesting. Sounds ever so disrespectful to call your wife a b*tch, but at least he didn’t mention how Ray J owns his child — by his own logic . Provided this name even holds up by the time the album is released, what do you think of Kanye’s album name?? Twitter

Transgender Man To Cover Mens Health Germany Mens’ Health magazine is featuring a transgender man on the cover of their German edition for the first time ever. The model, who won a national contest, began his transition at age 23, and now has a manly body that is able to be featured as an example of peak male fitness and physique . Via People : In a groundbreaking move, the April cover of Germany’s edition of Men’s Health will feature a transgender man. Transgender fitness model Ben Melzer won the magazine’s cover model contest, earning him the cover honors. Born as Yvonne, Melzer started transitioning at age 23. “This is me and I’m very happy with the person I became,” he says. “My inside and my outside finally fit and that’s why I’m not at all ashamed to talk about it.” Which is how he gained the courage to share his story and enter the cover contest. “Many ask me, ‘Why do you do this, why did you go public and tell your story?’ ” Melzer explains. “But that’s easy to answer. When I was in that situation, I had nobody to talk to, nobody to ask all this questions. That’s what I want to do. I want to give the community a face, stand up and answer those questions for people.” Germany is surprisingly behind America’s curve on this one. The US edition of Mens’ Health actually had a transgender cover model last year through a similar cover model contest — a man by the name of Aydian Dowling: It’s definitely a new day! What do you think of Mens’ Health’s inclusion of transgender fitness? It’s interesting…one would think a person born female would have a much tougher time reaching mens’ fitness standards. They may have had a greater hurdle to jump to achieve these bodies… People/ Instagram
Exclusive: “Newlyweds: The First Year” Erica And Adonis Talk Trust We caught up with Adonis and Erica Gladney of Bravo’s hit docu-drama “Newlyweds: The First Year” to find out how things have been going since the newlywed phase ended, what’s coming up for the couple, and find out how they bounced back after Adonis made THAT cheating confession : Naturally, marrying one another days after a confession like that gave them a big hurdle to jump in their union. We caught up with Erica and Adonis to see how things are going a year and a half into their marriage. They both admit that, as with most couples, their first year of matrimony has been difficult, but they’re learning how to support each other day by day: So first things first — how were you two able to get past the bombshell Adonis dropped days before the wedding? Erica: I’m learning to trust him more and more. It’s difficult, but I’m learning to let things go and try to believe in him and try to trust him, because I’m just stressing myself and him out when I’m worried about things and paranoid about if he’s cheating on me more. I let it go now and just try to have faith in him. What changed to get you to that point? Erica: It’s more of me trying not to drive myself crazy anymore. Definitely during the first year and all during filming I was very paranoid. Every time he’d leave the house I was just like “Well, where are you going? What time will you be back?” I was calling him — I was sort of a little crazy. It was getting to both of us. Adonis: On my end, it was more about reassuring her and keeping communication open, but still establishing boundaries with the calling every five minutes. We just had to reach a common ground of understanding and open communication to where she knew exactly what was going on with me, who would be where I was, that sort of thing. At a certain point in our marriage counseling, we realized that we actually hadn’t done our vows correctly. We just told eachother what we loved about each other, but vows are actually supposed to be promises about what you will do with your mate in the future. So once we learned that, we did a re-vowing ceremony, and that helped build a bit more trust. Adonis, you weren’t exactly raised to value committed romantic relationships and your father still seems to come around with a negative view on one-on-one marriage and encouraging you having multiple women as well. How have you been able to put Erica at ease more with that influence prevalent in your life? Adonis: My dad is polyamorous, and he’s also a comedian so he likes joking a lot, so he is constantly making comments about other women and saying inappropriate stuff. Before, I did that too, so it didn’t help the situation. I told him several times to not do that and even had to stop talking to him for a while. Once we began speaking again and he came to dinner at our home, he was still doing it. I had to interject and I believe that also showed Erica how serious I am about having a more monogamous relationship and not having “a woman in each room,” as my dad would put it. Being raised with your father’s views, what made you decided that you wanted to pursue a committed relationship and marry one woman? Adonis: Once I met the right woman, it was an easy decision. Growing up, I never saw my Dad with just one woman. Even before he became truly polyamorous, he would just be with a woman and always have another on the side too. Now he’s just open with it rather than being deceitful. But you have to understand — I respect what my Dad is doing for him . He’s happy with what he’s doing, and the women are happy with what he’s doing. What I don’t like is him trying to force that lifestyle on ME. In my case, my one woman is enough. I don’t need multiple women. I’ve found the right one who I can build and grow with. I can do everything with her, and the sex is great too! I don’t need extra women anymore — I’ve had my fun. Although [the fast lifestyle] seems exciting, it’s actually really lonely. You have so many women, you don’t have any woman. Right now, I have a real woman who has my back, who will stand up for me, and tell me if I’m doing something wrong, who actually wants to see me do well and see me grow. It’s not about the superficial stuff. And that’s hard to find — someone who wants to see you be the best you can be, and someone who you want to be the best man you can be for. I’ve never had that before. So what else can we expect to see from you two in upcoming episodes? Adonis: We actually start talking about adopting Erica’s nephew, because her sister has sickle cell and is having a difficult time. It’s hard, because this isn’t actually the time in life I was looking to have kids, but at the same time, it could happen at any moment given her sister’s condition. It’s a very serious decision to make, her nephew is already 8 and he’s had an entire life in a different home with his own mother, so that brings its own set of issues for him and for us. Erica: It’s really difficult — they gave my sister two years to live, and it’s already been over a year and a half. So at any time, we may have to adopt him. So after your first year of marriage, what advice do you think you can give to fresh newlyweds? Erica: Just don’t give up. There’s going to be so many tough times and difficult situations, but it’s all about communication. You have to communicate and compromise, and keep trying to move forward. Adonis: Well compromise is something different when you’re married vs. when you’re single. When you’re dating, it means both of you come together and discuss an outcome…but when you’re married, it means you just admit your wife is right so you can stop arguing (laughs). But seriously…it’s a learning and growing process. If you’ve got the right one, you need to make it work — but don’t think it’s going to be easy. Tune in to “Newlyweds: The First Year” tomorrow night (Wednesday) on Bravo at 9/8 central to see how Erica and Adonis and the rest of the couples fare. Bravo
Aubrey O’Day And Pauly D Are A Couple In today’s edition of “where are they now??” Aubrey O’Day has announced to E!News that she and Pauly D of “Jersey Shore” fame have joined hands and emerged from the MTV reality star graveyard. The former Danity Kane member revealed that she and Pauly met — where else — while filming an all new reality program. Via E!online : It’s official: Aubrey O’Day and Pauly D are a couple!

News. “So yeah, we met on the show. The show is about all of us coming together, dating, learning through a dating coach how to go out there and approach people that are better suited for us and kind of get over the issues that we were having. And it ended up just like becoming like this chemistry happened within the house with a few of the cast-mates and Pauly and I were one of them. Which everybody always laughs I feel like people think we’re completely different but ended up being pretty alike in a lot of ways.” So both of them needed a defibrillator shock to each of their long-dead careers in the spotlight via wash-up reality show…and they magically found a love they can use for publicity together? Wow, who would have ever thought…
