Now, the messy lives of Issa, Molly, Kelli and Tiffany are being prepped for the small screen, so we can relate it back to our own attempts at adult-ing.

This will be a change from the first three seasons, which were all eight episodes. The show has already proved to be a success with Rae earning a Golden Globe nomination last year for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. The show has also been nominated for multiple NAACP Awards, two MTV Movies and TV Awards and two Primetime Emmy Awards, including one for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Issa. Hopefully, this upcoming season will be the best season yet so the awards and recognition can keep coming!

No we are not talking about the MTV Music Awards. She is now the target of one of music’s most spiteful detractors. As spotted on Complex Azealia Banks has decided to throw her two cents on pop’s newest sweetheart. The Harlem native left a series of scathing comments aimed at Lizzo suggesting the singer is doing the jig for the man. “Lmao the fact that the public and the media has been keeping this fat girl joke going for so long is honestly peak boredom” she wrote. But wait the hate doesn’t stop there. Banks, who hasn’t had a song buzzing since 2011 with “212”, also criticized Liz’s chart topping hit “Truth Hurts” and her swag. “The song is not good, nor is the dumpy fat girl spectacle live set she does. Saddest bit is that the girl is legit talented and truly only being allowed to shine so long as she allows herself to be this millennial mammy of sorts.” She proceeded to also throw other artists under the bus and if we are reading this right puts herself in the same light as Beyoncé. “Like illiterate Cardi then fat Lizzo. They are really choosing the worst of the black womens crop to advertise America with,” she wrote. “I guess they saw us moving too fast with it because if you realize, after Beyoncé became political in ways they didn’t like the elite stopped giving her that top top spot and started cycling out these lessers like Cardi and Lizzo (even Lil Nas X trash ass buckbreak mountain anthem) giving them Beyoncé level accolades while both being no where near the level of black female excellence she is.” You can read her rant in full below.

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Buku Abi , daughter to Robert and Andrea Kelly, is following in her parents creative and artistic footsteps by embarking on a singing career of her own, with a new EP out called Don’t Call Me . For those who don’t know, Andrea Kelly is a very skilled dancer. It’s how she met R. Kelly before the two ultimately married and had three children. I don’t have to tell you that Buku’s father, singer R. Kelly is in the midst of yet another legal battle. He’s currently imprisoned on charges of child pornography, including videos of himself having sex with underage girls. SEE ALSO: R. Kelly Didn’t Want Cellmate, Court Docs Say But in the midst of her father’s struggles, Buku is attempting to establish herself in an industry she had once avoided. She spoke to the Associated Press about her journey. Abi, who was born JoAnn Kelly, claimed that she had seen the hellish part of the game and wanted no parts. But she couldn’t leave music alone. In the midst of everything she’s gone through, music has been a solace. And when your father’s R. Kelly, things can get rough. Abi explained when her father’s “sins” started seeping into her own life. “At home it’s normal, you’re living a life with your parents; your dad and mom aren’t going to go into all the bad things that might be going on outside of home,” she said, “but kids in school don’t necessarily care. Fifth and sixth grade is when I started learning the sore part of it, the not so good part. I think that was the hardest part for me because for so long I went with this image of who my dad (was) and what my family (was).” When her classmates started telling her stories about her own father, Abi said there were times when she considered suicide. Then she sang on stage during a high school performance and said the feeling of singing in front of people “literally felt like drugs.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “I needed more of this,” she said. “Clearly, I can’t keep running from this anymore. Ever since then, I’ve been in it and it’s literally saved my life.” Naturally, attempting a music career, with her father’s reputation hasn’t been easy. “I definitely run across challenges — people wanting to work with me to spite him or people not wanting to work with me just because of who he is. I’ve definitely come across turmoil … being judged for really no reason at all, just based off associations. I’ve been pushing through it. Me making the art, it saved my life so there’s nothing really that would be able to stop me.” Abi released her debut project this past March with the help of her sister Jaah Kelly, who produced the album.

He has made mistakes in his life and other things that he’s dealing with, but when it comes to that, I can’t take that away from him. That’s the one thing that will always keep us connected.” Abi believed that she could rekindle the relationship with her father. The two collaborated on a song called “Wanna Be There.” It appeared on Kelly’s 2015 album The Buffet. “At that time I was in a place where I was genuinely trying to have a relationship with my father. But it was so complicated at that time, as it always is. It was a great experience, I’m glad that I did it, but it just wasn’t like what everybody assumed, and that’s the part that sucks. It wasn’t this big kumbaya moment.” If it didn’t happen then, the likelihood of it happening now with R. Kelly being in jail as he awaits his trial in April is unlikely. As he awaits his fate, Abi is protecting her spirit. SEE ALSO: R.

The former “The Game” star took to Instagram to share how he grappled with betrayal and trauma after his friend’s father molested him at 14. “I’m Hosea chanchez and when I was 14 years old I was molested BY my friends father. This man is a predator, preying on children who’s trust he’s falsely built through lies, manipulation, threats and secrets,” he wrote on a caption, with a photo of himself as a young boy accompanying the message.

Continuing, “I hope this truth helps to stop child molesting predators from sexually assaulting more children. Pedophiles have no place in our society they hide in the open and rape children who are afraid to speak up because of shame, guilt, fear, denial and the thought that no one will believe them. Im doing this to help parents and young children become aware of some of the signs and better protect themselves from sexual predators.” SEE ALSO: ‘The Game’ Actor Pooch Hall Is Facing Up To 6.5 Years In Prison In the corresponding slides, Chanchez tells a horrifying tale about how his friend’s father primed him for assault by asking him personal questions about his attractions and his sex life during car rides and time one-on-one. The now 37-year-old also said that the predator used the fact that he was raised by a single mom to fill the space of masculine authority that was lacking in his upbringing. “He knew my father wasn’t in my life and my mother was a single mom, so he would always tell me I was like his other son,” he bravely revealed. One day the molester leveraged that trust to assault him in the car and threatened to ruin his life if he told. At the end, he named his alleged assaulter by name, saying “I’m choosing to expose him now, to finally hold this man accountable.” You can read the entire account below. Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

This weekend get ready for of the release of one of the creepiest, wildest and longest movies of the year, “It Chapter Two” . It has a run time of almost three hours but you’ll definitely get your money’s worth as Pennywise prepares to sink his teeth into the children of Derry one more time. The Losers are all grown up and most of them have left town, all of them except Mike, played by Isiah Mustafa, he has stayed in Derry and realized Pennywise is back so he calls up his childhood friends and tell them it’s time for them to return to kill him once and for all and he knows the way to do it. It Chapter Two, was highly entertaining and had me jumping out of my seat on several occasions so it does the job, you want it to do. I had the opportunity to screen this movie for a room full of cool kids and fans in Atlanta, last month and they left scared out of their minds. Source: Joi Pearson / Joi Pearson Photography So this month, while covering a press event in Anaheim, I jumped in a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado RTS with a bed load of courage to drive an hour and a half down to Los Angeles in traffic to where WB had recreated the town of Derry. The Silverado offers a street-performance appearance for the LT, with body-color trim, full LED lighting. Super bright fog lamps, headlamps, and taillamps in case Pennywise tried to come to drool all over me and up to 22-inch wheels in case things really go left. I wasn’t taking any chances. I did all of this so I could sit down with the cast of It in the town Derry… Even if it was on a lot in LA. This week’s episode of Extra Butter w/ Xilla Valentine is very fun and entertaining. You’ll see appearances from Jack Dylan Grazer, Sophia Lillis, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacob, Bill Hader, Andy Bean, James Ransone, and Isaiah Mustafa who talk about It Chapter 2, Impractical Jokers, Snoop Dogg and share the wildest things they can imagine on the spot. That all led to one of the funniest interviews. Watch this video and go see It Chapter Two in theaters everywhere.
Here is Demi Rose Mawby posing naked in a bathtub, which is totally shocking to see a full blown prostitute show nudity…I’m assuming this shoot is for her Backpages ad. Not that she needs to do Backpages anymore, or maybe she never did backpages, but instead had what it took to use Instagram DMs to broker deals with her vagina…or would it be brokering deals FOR her vagina…as she was just a conduit for the pussy….a lifeline, a host body, you know what I mean… I find her muppet approach to beauty typical of the times, over the top, something Jim Henson from the Muppets not from Catch a Predator, would be proud he inspired or paved the way for. This is some Kardashian trickle down effect….they were ugly girls, who figured out a way to look like sex dolls, released sex tapes, and all of a sudden became the highest paid and most influential people…all while being the least compelling people..and shit like DEMI ROSE followed their lead and carved their own little niche of sex work. You see cuz she’s a known hooker, but that doesn’t get her banned from the USA. It gets her celebrated. Weird. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
