May was SUCH a wild month for the Eason family, right? We don't have much hope for June being much better, but after everything that's happened, it's hard to believe it can be much worse. After all, it's not like Jenelle and David can re-lose custody of their kids, right? Besides, thanks to a new report from TMZ, it looks like those two are finally starting the long, difficult process of fixing themselves. Let's get into the details … 1. What a Time Jenelle has never made good choices — that’s why she got her start on reality television in the first place. 2. So, So Sad But man, have things taken a seriously dark turn lately. 3. Ah, Memories Remember when her lowest point was smoking weed with Kieffer and getting yelled at by Barbara? 4. So Bittersweet Can we go back there please? 5. The Present Unfortunately, Kieffer is currently in prison for building a meth lab, and Jenelle is married to David, the man who brutally killed her dog and totally destroyed her life. 6. Ugh And, well, here we are. View Slideshow

It’s hard to believe that the Robert Townsend directed flick came out on MTV almost 20 years ago! Sharing this gem in honor of Carmen: A Hip Hopera coming to @netflix !! @Robert_Townsend talking about @Beyonce ’s audition is everything! pic.twitter.com/AkkH3bJihz — Shondaland (@byshondaland) May 30, 2019 And it was the first time we got to see 19-year old Bey show her acting chops and spit a couple of bars. Hella tours, hella hits, one marriage, and three children later, Beyonce is still snatching our edges with every move she makes. In 2019, she’s revered as one of the greatest performers to ever grace the stage. But in 2001, she was just a teen branching off from her from her budding music career in order to find her voice. And that, she did. Source: Getty / Getty 2001 was a pivotal year in lots of ways for many people. The devastating September 11th terrorist attacks took place in New York City, changing the face of America as we knew it. That same year, the first Ipod was released, and Wikipedia made its online debut. Bill Clinton was leaving office, Hillary Clinton was sworn into senate, while Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake rocked their infamous Denim on Denim couple’s look to the American Music Awards. But besides starring in Carmen, here’s what the Bootylicious Queen Bey was doing in 2001.
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Dr. Gregory Lovallo Demands $15K From Rapper & Claims She Was “Unjustly Enriched” By False Insurance Claim A Northern New Jersey urologist has accused Lil Kim of cashing in on an insurance scam all the while failing to pay $15,000 for specialized medical treatment that may have been part of the con. Dr. Gregory Lovallo sued the “All About The Benjamins” rapper earlier this month for breach of contract, saying he provided urology-related health care to Lil Kim – whose real name is Kimberly Jones – but the rapper never paid her $15,000 bill for it. And the urologist alleges that Kim’s treatment may have been related to an insurance scam that she later profited off of. The doctor does not go into detail about what made him suspect that Kim was allegedly part of an insurance scheme, but does say that she was “unjustly enriched” as a result, court papers state. “Based upon information and belief, defendant improperly converted insurance proceeds to his/her own personal use,” Dr. Lovallo’s complaint, which was obtained by BOSSIP, states. “Based upon information and belief, defendant was unjustly enriched.” Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The doctor wants the $15,000, plus interest and his lawyer’s fees paid. We’ve reached out to Dr. Lovallo’s lawyer for comment. Kim, who filed for bankruptcy last year after admitting owing millions to creditors, hadn’t responded to the case as of May 31. However, if she doesn’t answer the doctor’s complaint by next month, a judge could put her in default over the case.

Source: Ivan Nikolov/WENN.com / WENN Kim Kardashian Visits San Quentin Inmate on Death Row Kim Kardashian is continuing her efforts to fight for prison reform. Most recently, the aspiring lawyer spent her day at one of America’s most notorious prisons to speak with an accused murderer that she–and many others–believe to be innocent. According to reports from TMZ , Kim visited California’s San Quentin earlier this week to meet with death row inmate Kevin Cooper. The 61-year-old was convicted of killing four people in Chino Hills, California back in the 1980s and was then sentenced to death. Since then, Cooper has maintained his innocence over the last three decades, insisting that he did not kill anyone, and he was framed. His legal team also says that key evidence in the case was not properly analyzed and should be re-tested now–something Kardashian spoke up about on Twitter almost a year ago. Governor Brown, can you please test the DNA of Kevin Cooper? https://t.co/MB4kE03sC4 — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 16, 2018 California’s then-governor Jerry Brown granted Cooper’s request for testing in December of 2018 and ordered new DNA analysis. Though the testing has still not been conducted, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has suspended all executions during his term. According to TMZ’s sources, Kim spent two hours speaking with Cooper, and after that, she was on his side and convinced he had been framed. She now plans to do her part in fighting to secure his exoneration and freedom. Only a few weeks ago, it was reported that the Kardashian sister contributed to 90 Days of Freedom a campaign started by Decarceration Collective lawyer MiAngel Cody and Kardashian’s attorney Brittany K. Barnett that helped free 17 federal inmates who were all convicted of low-level drug crimes.
