Source: Gary Miller / Getty Chance The Rapper Takes No. 2 Spot On Billboard 200 Chart Chance the Rapper is known for his spiritual and gospel infused music and in many cases, his ideas have resulted in success. But now, it seems like his recent debut album The Big Day isn’t receiving the same acclaim. Along with lukewarm reviews , Chance also couldn’t make the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 Chart. ANOTHER Christian-leaning rapper did, however. According to Billboard , rapper NF scored his second No. 1 album thanks to his release The Search. The project released on July 26, brought in the equivalent of 130,000 album units in the U.S. in the week ending in August 1. Chance’s The Big Day came in at number two with 108,000 equivalent album units earned. Eighty thousand of those streams were via streaming, making his release the most streamed of the week. The Bid Day is also Chance’s highest charting album yet. So Chance does have some wins this week. But considering the buzz he’s built over the years, it’s still surprising that he did’t take the number one spot. His second place might have been avoided with more promotion and single releases before the album dropped. Chance basically just made a random announcement on Jimmy Fallon and that’s how people knew about the album, although he did make mention of it as early as February . Anywho, Chance is still winning in a lot of ways and maybe the album might gain more steam in the coming weeks…if we can get a single, a music video, anything . We’ll keep you posted.

Source: Alex Wong / Getty Donald Trump Mistakenly Says Mass Shooting Happened In Toledo, Ohio Another day, another idiotic statement from Trump. After two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio left dozens of people dead , no. 45 addressed the nation, calling the shootings “evil attacks” and crimes “against all humanity.” Trump — yes, TRUMP — said that our country needed to come together to “condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy.” Not for a second did any of us think Trump ACTUALLY cared, but his lack of concern was cemented when he sent condolences to the wrong city. “May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo, and may God protect them,” he said. See for yourself… During his national address on Monday, President Trump mistakenly referred to Toledo, Ohio, as the site of the weekend's mass shooting. https://t.co/Xu6q6DavEL — Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) August 5, 2019 Absolutely no one is amused after two white, male domestic terrorists took the lives of at least 31 people. Donald Trump cares so little about mass shootings that he says it happened in the wrong city (“Toledo”). What's worse, he seemingly read it off the teleprompter, meaning the entire White House didn't care enough to get it right, either. pic.twitter.com/OKLVs6nj5V — VoteVets (@votevets) August 5, 2019 Hey if you’re in Dayton, just a swift reminder that the president of the United States was golfing when your city had a mass shooting and just referred to the city you live in as Toledo. Just tuck that in your pocket for when it comes time to vote again. — Akilah Hughes (@AkilahObviously) August 5, 2019 Not surprisingly, Trump is attempting to use these shootings as fuel to push immigration reform . Hey @realDonaldTrump : You are a real jerk for using mass shooting deaths to try to get your way on anti-immigrant legislation. STOP BLAMING IMMIGRANTS. NOT IMMIGRANTS: The mass shooters in El Paso, Las Vegas, Tree of Life, Parkland, Charleston … Also it's Dayton, not Toledo. https://t.co/Kr7cEX0WnB — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 5, 2019 The fact is these shootings were not perpetrated by immigrants, but by white American men (per usual). And, as the nation mourns all those we lost, presidential candidates who do NOT support domestic terrorism bills are being exposed. “S.894 has 19 co-sponsors. But that number was only made up of half the presidential candidates who are also Senators: New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Bernie Sanders,” NewsOne says of support for Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin’s Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2019, which was introduced back in March. “Conspicuously missing from that list were three other presidential candidates who are Senators: Michael Bennett of Colorado, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.” See more reactions to Trump on the flip.
Kim Kardashian to the rescue! Not only has the mega-famous reality star been able to prove herself useful by creating a gorgeous makeup line and setting jail prisoners free, but now she can add saving dumb floundering businesses to her resume. Rob Kardashian’s Halfway Dead clothing line has stood true to its’ name and well, has been suffering. But thanks to sister Kim, things are starting to look up! According to Radar Online , the company was near collapse when Rob, 32, and his business partners were accused of ripping off a skull logo from another brand. Luckily, Momager Kris Jenner (ok, she’s the real hero here) ordered his sisters to promote the clothing line to bring in more customers following the copyright issue. And of course, taking into consideration the popularity and fame of the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it worked. But it didn’t take all 5 of the sisters to give a simple shout out on social media, instead, Kim Kardashian was able to revive the company all on her own. On Thursday, August 1, Kim took to Instagram to post a photo of herself rocking one of Rob’s signature tees, which also happens to be the same shirt Kylie Jenner posed in when the brand launched back in July. In the caption of the photo, Kim decided to keep it short and sweet, writing, “Halfway-Dead.com.” Naturally, the 38-year-old’s post received all the love. And fortunately for Rob, business quickly began booming. “Sales skyrocketed and they are nearly sold out of every single item in stock!” an insider told Radar. “Of course Kim is taking full credit for saving Rob’s clothing line, Rob really had to swallow his pride on this one, but it wasn’t hard.” “Kim made him so wealthy in just one weekend. He is so grateful,” added the source. And the middle Kardashian sister is feeling pretty grateful, too… for her social media power. “Kim is really gloating on this because she wants everyone to know that, when Kylie tried promoting Rob’s brand wearing the same shirt she wore, the sales overall were nowhere near what they were these past few days,” said the insider. “Kim knows that she has the most social media influence and it is really important to her ego that she feels like the most powerful Kardashian.” Come on, we all know she is — especially lately with her ongoing fight for criminal justice reform . And now she has saved the day once again! Besides Kim, Rob’s other sisters also care about his wellbeing and just want to see him happy and healthy again, especially for the sake of his daughter Dream. But finally, after months of dealing with custody battles and self-destructive behaviors, things look like they might actually be turning around for the 32-year-old. According to another report from Radar Online , the father of one is “determined to take back the throne” by getting back in shape physically and being more financially stable . “Rob has quit drinking and partying and he has let go of his bitter resentment against all of his family members,” shared an insider. We’re glad Rob is finally on the same page with the rest of the world and realizes that it is ok to keep up with his sisters. (Especially the ones that make him money, @ Kim.)

Tyler Cameron may have scored a date with supermodel Gigi Hadid, but he may have just lost his chance of handing out roses on next season of The Bachelor. *grabs the tissue box* Host Chris Harrison seemingly shut down The Bachelorette runner-up’s shots of being the next Bachelor after he was spotted getting drinks in Soho with none other than the beautiful Hadid. Days after he left Hannah Brown’s new LA home ! (In very comfy attire, and in the early morning, so take that as you will.) It’s safe to say that Tyler is embracing his newly single status, as he should, the poor guy just got his heart broken on national television after Hannah rejected his heartfelt proposal. But Chris Harrison isn’t too impressed . “If Tyler is bouncing round from girl to girl and loving the life and enjoying the limelight, which, by the way, good on him. That’s fine,” Chris told Entertainment Tonight. “If that’s what you want to do right now, I don’t blame him.” “He’s probably enjoying life really, really well — but that’s not someone we’re going to want to have as our Bachelor or Bachelorette ,” he stated. “So, it’s about sincerity. It’s about where you are in your life. And if that’s where he is in his life, then he’s not the guy for us.” Ouch! Bachelor Nation is probably feeling a tad bummed right about now. But hey, as long as Tyler is happy — we’re happy, right guys?! Cameron and Hadid met through Instagram, but apparently they have a few mutual friends in the modeling industry. “She knew of him before he got any wind of fame from the Bachelorette,” an insider told E! News . And yes, the date went really well, because according to E!, there are many more in store for Tigi. “Gigi thinks Tyler is really cute and nice and liked that he was a good listener,” shared the source. “They have been texting for weeks and have plans to hang out again while Tyler is in NYC.” “They are both taking things slow but have both made it clear they are interested in each other.” So yeah… sounds like we can pretty much kiss the idea of seeing Tyler on our TV’s anytime soon goodbye. And as for his future with Ms. Brown? Well, despite the obvious sparks that are flying between Gigi and Tyler, it sounds like he is still open to see what the future holds for him and Hannah. But with her living in LA now, geographically, it is not exactly the ideal dating situation. “Tyler saw Hannah in LA and they had a good night and a good talk.” wink, wink, “But it’s probably not going to amount to much right now,” a second source tells E! . “She moved to LA and he doesn’t live there.” “They agreed to keep talking, but that’s it for now,” the source added. “It’s geographically challenging.” With or without the Bachelor franchise, Tyler will be just fine. Even though Bachelor Nation may not be… IDK how many more plot twists we can take?! But to leave you with a piece of good news (you’re welcome) , Chris Harrison is keeping the Florida stud in mind for another ABC show, adding that Cameron would be a good contestant on Dancing With the Stars . “Tyler dances. He has the whole Footloose thing! he told ET on Monday, adding that Peter Weber and Mike Johnson are still in the running to be the next lead. “Let’s see who really is sincere at the end of the day, because we do have a couple of months before we have to start production and really get into this, so we have time.” View Slideshow: Tyler Cameron Photo Montage: Holy Hotness!

Source: Gary Gershoff/Joe Scarnici/Getty Wendy Williams Takes Back Kevin Hunter—But Only As Her Business Manager? Wendy Williams’ hot girl summer might be taking a turn. DailyMail.com reports that newly single Wendy’s “softening her position” towards her estranged husband Kevin Hunter. The website reports that Wendy’s changed her mind about dissolving their production company, publishing house and charitable foundation and she and Kevin are willing to continue to work together. Why? Well, because Wendy allegedly wants to “preserve her legacy” and she also (allegedly) wants to stop her ex from pursuing alimony. Source: Pacific Press / Getty DailyMail.com reports that the pair are allegedly close to a settlement agreement. ‘Wendy and Kevin’s marriage might be over but they still have love for one another and she realizes that when it comes to business they had a great partnership, there was definitely magic there,’ a source close to the couple told DailyMail.com. ‘Since he left the business there’s been a lot of infighting and back-biting behind the scenes, that’s the kind of stuff Kevin kept a handle on. ‘Of course Wendy was furious with Kevin over his affair, she felt he had publicly humiliated her and she wanted to come out fighting, but she’s since softened her view of him and wants an amicable divorce. Things are apparently going well for Kevin despite him allegedly welcoming a love child with Sharina Hudson. As we previously reported while other media reported that Hunter was fired from his position as an executive producer on “The Wendy Williams” show, a source with knowledge of the situation told BOSSIP it’s more of a mutual parting and he’ll be walking away with an eight-figure settlement. Our source says he’s receiving $10 million to go away quietly from the program. What do YOU think about Wendy allegedly working with Kevin Hunter???

That’s the reality of all palettes on the market. So when they reached out to me and gave me the opportunity to create my own, I was overwhelmed, I was ecstatic.” We are too! Congratulations, Jackie.
