Source: Christopher Polk / Getty The first-week sales projections for Travis Scott ‘s freshly released album Astroworld have officially arrived, and it looks like La Flame is about to have an absolutely insane opening. According to reports from Hits Daily Double , the songs on the Houston rapper’s third studio album have been streamed over 100 million times. In terms of actual sales, the album is expected to move somewhere between 450-500,000 equivalent album units in its first week. That is an undeniably massive opening, especially when compared to the numbers Travis has pulled in the past. If these sales projections come to fruition, Scott will have more than quadrupled the first-week sales total of his last project, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight– which moved 89,000 units in its opening week. The album is loaded with features from big stars including Drake , Frank Ocean , and Stevie Wonder. This album and it’s release has been teased for more than 2 years at this point, which could be why it’s doing such huge numbers. In any case, it seems like Astroworld ‘s long-awaited release has not disappointed, at least as far as number go. We’ll find out for sure once the final numbers come in. Congrats to La Flame on the huge release.
Image via SplashNews Azealia Banks Rants About Beyonce Stealing From Other Artists Really??? Azealia Banks is always complaining about something, and this week she’s talking about Beyonce “stealing” and trying her best to be mediocre. First Banks claims that an ex-dancer of hers choreographed for Bey and somehow they’ve stolen choreography from a dancer named Gyp Jaq. The accusations appeared in Banks’ IG story. Azealia then begs Beyonce for a job because she thought her Coachella show was humdrum. The final insult to Bey was Azealia insulting her OOTD’s and saying she’s feening to be a “regular b*tch”. Do you think she went too far here? Azealia Banks accuses Beyoncé of “always stealing from other talented women” in her latest Instagram rant. pic.twitter.com/xWTKsLBZlZ — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 3, 2018 Umm ok. Azealia presents not one lick of proof that any dances were stolen. Also, if a choreographer took routines from someone else, how would Beyonce know this? Azealia Banks: My ex-dancer stole my choreography and gave it to Beyonce. Somehow this is Beyoncé’s fault. Sis, maybe your ex-dancer was tired of not being booked and the choreography not being used. — Good On Any MLK Blvd. (@eleven8) August 4, 2018 What do YOU think of all of this?

As you’ve likely heard by now, Farrah Abraham was arrested Tuesday night after allegedly assaulting a male staff member while staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Farrah spent the night in jail but has since been released on bail. Thus far, charges have not been filed but prosecutors have until Friday to do so. Farrah’s 9-year-old daughter, Sophia, was in the hotel at the time of the incident, but she was reportedly asleep in her room and did not bear witness to her mother’s meltdown. In short, no one was seriously injured and for Sophia, it was no more traumatic than any typical day of being Farrah Abraham’s daughter. Thus, it’s safe to make fun of this situation, and folks — there’s so, so much to laugh at here. Shortly after leaving prison, Farrah vomited up one of her most nonsensical word salads to date in a video she submitted to TLC. Like all things Farrah, it must be seen to be believed: Farrah Abraham Talks Arrest: I Was Targeted! “I don’t know who called the cops, why people called the cops … I was focused on my friends and then someone was trying to be involved, another guest,” Farrah said in the clip, before trying to make herself out to be some sort of feminist hero. “I hope no other female finds herself in this position or situation, and I know it’s very hard being a public figure or ‘celebrity,’ if you will.” It’s nice that we’re becoming more ‘woke’ as a society , Farrah seems to be saying, but what about the most marginalized group of all — celebrities! Anyway, for the first time since Farrah was fired from Teen Mom OG , she has the internet’s full attention — and she’s not letting go of it without a fight. Farrah took to Instagram Live today to continue spewing her thoughts about the incident, and it seems she’ll be checking into a lot of Air BnBs in the future. “Hey guys! I wanted to say thank you for all of the well wishes and concern,” Farrah told her followers. “It’s sort of sad sometimes when you’re out and you just can’t have fun and people want to attack you and get you all in that trouble,” she added. “So, I’m blessed by God, and I don’t ever want to be attacked again at a hotel.” In her mind, she presumably conjured the hashtag “2Blessed2BStressed.” The specificity of Farrah’s comment left Farrah fans puzzled. She doesn’t want to be attacked in a hotel again?! Is she done staying in hotels, or is she just gonna wear a beekeeper suit from now on? Farrah didn’t respond to requests for elaboration, but we’re sure she’s working on another lengthy video rant at this very moment.

Back in March, Tiffany Haddish told a story with a mysterious ending that left the internet scrambling in search of clues. In a typically candid and hilarious interview, the comedian revealed that she once saw another celebrity bite Beyonce on her face in the middle of an A-list event. Haddish declined to identify the perpetrator, but further piqued the public’s curiosity by revealing that the feral female was high as a kite when she went in for a taste of Bey: Near the end of the party,” said Haddish. “Beyoncé’s at the bar, so I said to Beyoncé, ‘Did she really bite you?’ She was like, ‘Yeah,'” Haddish told GQ . “I was like, ‘She gonna get her ass beat tonight,'” Haddish continued. “She was like, ‘Tiffany, no. Don’t do that. That bitch is on drugs. She not even drunk. The bitch is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’” At the time, Haddish stubbornly refused to call out the biter by name, but today, in a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she finally spilled the tea: Like so many others, we predicted way back when that it was actress Sanaa Lathan who indulged in some top quality bath salts before sinking her teeth into Queen Bey, and now, Haddish has confirmed our suspicions: “I’m super good friends with her stepmom and her dad [Stan, a producer-director], and they were mad at me,” the Girls Trip star said. “They were like, ‘Why would you do this to the family? You know, black actresses, you guys have to stick together, it’s so hard for you guys to get work as it is, why would you try to ruin her career?’ “But I didn’t try to ruin her career. I never said her name!” It’s true. Haddish tried to protect Lathan’s identity, but internet sleuths are a persistent lot. She probably figured now that the cat is essentially out of the bag, she might as well come out with it. Tiffany was less worried about protecting the reputations A-listers like Roseanne (“She been racist, why’d you all give her a TV show?”) and Leonardo DiCaprio. “I met him at a party two, three months ago, and I asked him if he’d let me hit that,” said Haddish. “He’s like, ‘Tiffany, you’re so funny.’ I’m like, ‘I’m serious.’ And then he goes, ‘I mean, I’d do it, but…’ … I told him, ‘My only stipulation: “I wanna do it with you as your character in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.’ He starts busting’ up laughing.’” Our younger readers might need to go watch Gilbert Grape both in order to get that joke and to understand that there was a time when Johnny Depp was more than a melting wax figure of Keith Richards.

Source: Twitter / Twitter In case case you forgot that dreams really do come true, just take a look at the Yodeling Wal Mart kid’s life over the last couple of weeks. He literally went from aspiring young artist belting out tunes in grocery stores for cash to performing at Coachella and landing record deal. That yodel kid really got a record deal with Atlantic for disturbing the peace in a Wal Mart — Alicia (@nerdjpg) April 27, 2018 11- year old Mason Ramsey loves his new found fame so much that he wrote a song about called “Famous”. And we can’t even lie, the kid may have a hit on his hands. But some folks are not here for the kids new track; slamming it for not being age appropriate: “Famous” by Yodel Boy is unfortunately not age appropriate, genre appropriate or just generally good.. They took a great kid that loved country and made something truly awful. https://t.co/s1auGY91KL — Jason Kirkness (@jasonkirkness) April 27, 2018 I can’t get over yodel boys first single being about loving a girl at age 11… the only girl you should love at 11 is your mom… — Madi Axtell (@axtell_madi) April 27, 2018 While others totally support the young hustler’s grind: I hate country music. And no one can change that, but Walmart boys new song is actually really good.. I think he's gonna be a big deal in the country music industry — AlexXXTENTACION (@_x3LA__) April 27, 2018 y’all do know that the “yodel kid” was doing shows at the age of 4 that man BEEN deserved a record deal — Jalen (@UglyBoyJalen) April 28, 2018 The moral of the story here is that if it’s meant to be, it’ll be — even if it takes disturbing the peace at your local Wal Mart.
