Wholesome, crunchy, jackass Gwyneth Paltrow has some advice for her ex-boyfriend and his estranged wife—a behemoth you know as Brangelina . If you’re curious as to whether she’s crapping unicorn-blessed gems of wisdom about “conscious uncoupling,” then you just won the prize. What prize, you ask? A balloon filled with pompous arrogance, cliché sentiments, over-tweezed eyebrows, and lots and lots of sharp white teeth. Congratulations or whatever. According to Radar Online, Gwynnie reached out to Pitt in an effort to help him through his divorce. The source said, “She’s egotistical enough to think that he’ll want her advice about consciously uncoupling from Angelina.” The best part, perhaps, is where Paltrow offered to be a mediator between the feuding duo. We’re not laughing, you are. (Okay, we’re laughing too, it’s all right.) The source revealed, “That’s the last thing Brad’s thinking about right now, of course. But Gwyneth is convinced she can help and has even offered to act as an unofficial mediator for him and Angie.” Brad and Gwyneth dated for a few years after meeting on the set of Seven , but things apparently weren’t meant to be, as both of them ended up with other folks that they weren’t meant to be with, either. In a 2014 interview, Gwyn said that Brad was too good for her. She was probably right. She told Howard Stern that her head was firmly up her ass till she was 40. We kindly beg to differ. Paltrow said, “I was such a kid; I was 22 when [Brad and I] met. It’s taken me until 40 to get my head out of my ass. You can’t make [the decision to commit] when you’re 22 years old. I wasn’t ready, and he was too good for me.” “I didn’t know what I was doing,” she reflected. Truth bomb? She still doesn’t. O bviously . Dare we say that Paltrow’s probably pretty steamed that she can’t be in the mix of every A-list newsworthy item? We’d bet some gem-crapping unicorns on that idea, friends. Get over yourself, Gwyn. Heaven knows everyone else is, and frankly, the folks in your life—and outside of it—can fully cope without your help interference.

Apparently God May Have A Fashion Sense, Of Sorts Young Thug set the internet ablaze when his new album cover featured him fitted in a periwinkle colored dress. As Black Twitter vacillated on their feelings about his fashion choices, Thugger said it shouldn’t surprise anyone. His decision to wear the dress was, apparently, one of divine intervention but he’s been wearing girl’s/women’s clothing for a really long time. He discusses how his father used to discipline him for his fashion choices but he continues to wear what he wants because he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. via AllHipHop Young Thug has finally opened up about the controversy he recently caused by donning an extravagant gown on the cover of his latest mixtape release, No My Name Is Jeffrey . His statements are likely to turn more heads. “When I seen that dress, I felt like God gave it to me.” Thugger said when reflecting on the first time he laid eyes on the threads. In the artist’s interview with Billboard , he also gave a little insight as to the origin of his gender bender choices of fashion. “When I was 12, my feet were so small I wore my sisters’ glitter shoes,” he explained. The rapper then continued, “My dad would whoop me: ‘You’re not going to school now, you’ll embarrass us!’ But I never gave a f— what people think.” Thugger came close to breaking the internet when the cover of his project was released, as fans went into a frenzy, cooking up hilarious memes, while his Hip-Hop peers chastised his actions. Despite all of the backlash, Young Thug still managed to land in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 charts for the second time with the August 26 release. Thug is going to continue to do and wear what he wants and the sooner people let that go, the better off they will be.

However, with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, he’ll be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend Black Lightning. The Akils will write and exec produce the project with Berlanti and his producing partner Sarah Schechter. Their respective banners, Akil Productions and Berlanti Productions, will produce in association with Warner Bros. TV.
