Vh1 Young Bae Welcomes A Baby Congratulations are in order for Young Bae , Black Ink Crew’s Asian American tattoo artist. Bae had revealed she was pregnant during the show this past season and now she’s revealing she gave birth. Doesn’t her precious baby boy look just like her??? Here’s another angle from her boo’s page and he wrote the new mommy a SWEET message. Dear Young Bae, Being born as a Citizen of the United States I’ve taken for granted all of the opportunities that come along with citizenship. In the time we’ve shared together I’ve seen how hard you work at building your brand and business all while dealing with the pressures of reality stardom and all within 11 years of being in this country. Through all of that you still found time and energy to invest in us and our family. I respect and salute you babe. You are the smartest and most hardworking person I’ve ever met and it’s my honor that you are the mother of our child and my soon to be wife. This child is a gift from God and I promise to be your rock as we raise him to be just as strong as we are. I love you my Queen and will walk with you along this blessed path God has set for our family
Tuesday was the one year anniversary of the May 22 Manchester Arena bombing that left twenty-three people dead and hundreds wounded. Ariana Grande had already performed a powerful trubute to the victims and her fellow survivors just two days earlier. To mark the anniversary, she sent out a much more direct message. Ariana tweeted from the heart, writing: “Thinking of you all today and every day.” Here she included a bee emoji, or beemoji . The bee is the symbol of Manchester. “I love you with all of me.” She is so good and so pure. “And am sending you all of the light and warmth I have to offer on this challenging day” There is no easy or perfect way to address a tragic terrorist bombing that left dozens of children injured or dead. Some would just put up an image in memory of the fallen and of the shattered lives. After all, there are situations for which words fail. Others would pen a miniature essay, hoping that if they say enough, they can somehow live up to the gravity of the anniversary that they are mourning. But Ariana kept her tweet short and simple. She said what she needed to say. Besides, she had already said so much in a recent interview. Last week, Ariana spoke to Time . “There are so many people who have suffered such loss and pain. The processing part is going to take forever.” Trauma can last a lifetime. “Music is supposed to be the safest thing in the world.” She is so sweet. “I think that’s why it’s still so heavy on my heart every single day.” Remember, she’s a fellow survivor of that terrible suicide bomber’s attack. “I wish there was more that I could fix. You think with time it’ll become easier to talk about. Or you’ll make peace with it.” We know that it might sound fake, but recovery from trauma is possible. But it takes time. “But every day I wait for that peace to come and it’s still very painful.” Earlier this month, Ariana and Mac Miller broke up . That is not in any way comparable to the trauma of surviving a terrorist attack, but that has to be on her mind, too. However … she may have a distraction from her last relationship. In the form of her new relationship. According to People’ s report, they have been able to confirm that Ariana is casually dating Pete Davidson . Pete is part of the cast of Saturday Night Live . In fact, when he joined, he was the youngest person ever cast on SNL . He is also frequently brought up in internet arguments about which person on SNL is the most attractive, though he, like everyone else, generally loses to Kate McKinnon. According to the reports, Ariana and Pete’s relationship has “just started.” And it is said that “it’s very casual.” The two were even spotted togther at the Billboard Music Awards. “After Ariana’s performance, they were backstage and he had his arm around her.” Awww! “They seemed very lovey-dovey. He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her. She seemed quite smitten.” This sounds so cute. Ariana Grande deserves good things. We hope that she’s finding comfort on this very grim anniversary. View Slideshow: Manchester Bombing: A Tribute to the Victims
At this year’s MET Gala, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott walked their first red carpet together as a couple. Because, a year earlier, they barely knew each other. Now, Kylie and Travis are proud parents of precious baby Stormi Webster. But apparently, Travis has concerns. He allegedly wants Kylie to refuse to go back to work building her brand … and stay at home with their baby. What ?! A source tells InTouch that Travis Scott wants Kylie to focus on motherhood … almost exclusively. “Travis loves Kylie and they’re totally happy parents.” That is wonderful to hear. “He’s worried, however, that Kylie’s going to morph back into her socialite and partying ways.” That certainly used to be Kylie’s lifestyle. “And not put Stormi first.” Well, that’s nuts. Stormi is Kylie’s whole world right now. “Kylie’s already told Travis her schedule is about to get really busy.” Right. She’s no longer pregnant and Stormi will be four months old on June 1 . “And that she’s going to throw herself back into her work and her branding.” That makes sense. Though paid maternity leave should be universal (sadly, the US is one of few countries without that guarantee), many mothers look forward to getting back to work. “Travis wants her to scale back her work and social life.” Oh wow. That’s actually kind of alarming, if true. “And be a stay-at-home mom for the time being.” Travis does, after all, have his own … uh, career. (Fans have pointed out that Travis Scott’s antics in this infamous performance remind them of Frankendoodle, a terrifying one-off Spongebob Squarepants character) Wait … is he seriously suggesting that she stay at home while he plays the breadwinner? Now, Travis Scott’s estimated net worth was recently upgraded to all of $8 million, which is a whole lot to us regular folks. But Kylie is worth about $50 million … and Kylie Cosmetics is projected to be worth about one billion American dollars in about four-and-a-half years. You would think that, if either of them were to hit the pause button on their careers, it would be Travis. There are women in this world who would quit their high-paying jobs just to soothe their lower-income-bracket baby daddy’s ego. But fans hope that Kylie Freaking Jenner is not one of them. Apparently, Travis doesn’t want to rely on Kylie’s virtually infinite financial resources or her family support network. “He doesn’t want Kylie to depend on nannies or Kris.” This source claims that he wants Kylie to make sacrifices to be there for Stormi, full time. “And would prefer if Kylie took major time off to raise their daughter.” That’s quite a demand. “He feels that’s important and should be Kylie’s main focus.” Well, of course Stormi will be Kylie’s main focus. But Kylie also still gets to be a person, right? “Travis is nervous and doesn’t want Kylie to put money and career before the baby.” Isn’t the money and career also for Stormi’s benefit, though? When Stormi is a teen or older, surely she’ll appreciate the difference between her parents being millionaires and her mom being a billionaire. We would like to believe that Kylie would not throw away her life in order to never use nannies or her mother. We would like to believe that Travis Scott, who is clearly crazy about Kylie, would never ask her to. For that matter, we’d at least like to believe that he wouldn’t be sharing his concerns with random friends. Surely he and Kylie can see that Kim has continued to build her business empire without neglecting her duties as a mother. And Kim is a mother of three . Kylie can be an incredible supermom and continue to be a makeup mogul. If Travis really is dead-set on Stormi spending all of her time with a parent, maybe he can be a stay-at-home dad. Bottles exist, dude. Besides, does Travis really want Kylie to become a desperate housewife, at home alone with her baby and her hunky bodyguard ? We didn’t think so.

Black women and hair loss is unfortunately a common pairing. This is largely due to the consistent reliance on weaves, wigs and braids. However, there are also many black women who suffer from forms of alopecia that don’t necessarily correlate to hair styling. On the latest episode of the Facebook talk show Red Table Talk , Jada Pinkett-Smith opened up about her frightening battle with unexpected hair loss. There was a time back in the day when hair loss was associated more with natural aging than styling, but then the widespread popularity among black women and weaves and wigs became something of a cultural phenomenon—and hair loss, traction alopecia to be exact, started to become too common. Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith recently opened up about her struggles with alopecia on the most recent episode of her new talk show Red Table Talk , with her mother and her daughter. Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her struggle with hair loss. The actress says it was terrifying when she first noticed she was losing “handfuls of hair” in the shower, calling it “one of those times in my life when I was literally shaking with fear” https://t.co/SExCPnDSCE pic.twitter.com/iUbyq7OlCo — CNN (@CNN) May 22, 2018 During the discussion she speaks about just how fearful she was when she started to experience handfuls of her hair falling out while in the shower. She also revealed that her alopecia was the reason behind her edgy short haircut that she debuted on social media a few months ago. Pinkett-Smith has sought medical attention for her condition, but at press time she stated that the tests haven’t revealed the reason behind her hair loss, however she suspects stress may be the culprit. Hello Beautiful reported on the increasing conditions of alopecia sufferers within the black community and whether you have alopecia as a result of your hairstyling choices, a medical condition or it’s hereditary, the shame often associated with it can be worse than the condition itself. Many women become conditioned to continue to hide their hair loss because of embarrassment, especially if they suffer from traction alopecia, which is self-inflicted, in comparison to traditional alopecia. This shame accounts for a very profitable business of hair restoration products, including oils, creams, treatments and hair masks that promise to restore your hair to its crown and glory. Sure, most traction alopecia cases can fortunately be reversed, but traditional alopecia sufferers are often not so lucky—and that can be a hard pill to swallow. In a world where women are often taught to equate their beauty with the length, texture, style and color of their hair, living with alopecia can be very difficult. Jada Pinkett-Smith acknowledged this in her discussion, but she also recognized the positive in such a sensitive situation. She expressed that certain things happen as a result of a higher power and if the higher power chose for her to lose her hair, in the grand scheme of things it’s really a small price to pay when you consider the other serious issues she could be suffering from. As a woman, specifically a black woman, your journey and relationship with your hair is your own and should never be compared or contrasted to someone else. Whether you suffer from any form of alopecia, use relaxers, wear it natural or love to rock weaves and wigs—whatever choices and decisions you make should come from you and no one else. If all else fails, simply wrap your head up in a colorful scarf and be the beautiful queen you are.

Kirk finally gives Rasheeda a genuine apology for all of his behavior. via GIPHY Spice complains to Erica Mena that working with Tommie has been difficult. In other news, it looks like Spice and Tobias, Tokyo Vanity’s ex, have a flirtation going on, and Spice plans to take him up on his offer for a date. We all know that’s going to be some mess. Erica then discusses her music career moves and how she has decided to not work with Danger Zone. That’s when Spice reveals that she heard that Estelita is still messing around with Stevie J. Erica is annoyed, for obvious reasons and says that this is the type of thing that messed up their friendship in the first place. Basically, Erica is over Estelita putting herself in messed up situations with Stevie then crying and playing the victim when Stevie does what he does because we all know by now that Stevie gon’ Stevie. via GIPHY Karlie Redd made good on her promise to do some snooping around about BK Brasco’s activities and managed to get some tea from a woman named Amber Priddy. We all know that BK Brasco is supposed to be Sierra’s boyfriend situation so she’s not going to be happy about this. Karlie thinks it’s a great idea to rent out a classy space where herself, Mimi, Sierra, Amber Priddy, and Tokyo Vanity to come together so everything can be put all out there. Mimi is there to keep the peace and Tokyo Vanity is Sierra’s friend so that’s moral support, I guess. via GIPHY Anyway, Amber says that she and BK Brasco have a thing going on. It’s not about love, but they have sex every time they see each other. She also says that according to BK Brasco, he and Sierra aren’t together and she has receipts, but we’ll get to that in a minute. Another woman named Joy walks in. Sierra does Joy’s eyebrows and Joy is also BK Brasco’s artist. But it also turns out that Joy and BK Brasco got a thing going on too. Amber says that BK told her that he also messes around with Joy. Sierra wants to know why the heck Joy never mentioned anything before. Joy says she doesn’t have any drama with Sierra and she didn’t mention it because it’s complicated. Basically, BK Brasco told Joy that he and Sierra are best friends and they do business together. That’s when Amber pulls out a conversation she recorded between she and BK Brasco confirming such. He is straight up saying that Sierra is his best friend. She says she taped this conversation because she knew something like this would happen. Now Sierra is really pissed. She’s mad at BK Brasco, at Amber, at Joy, and at Karlie Redd for thinking this meeting was a good idea. Meanwhile, Mimi is just confused. She’s sitting there looking like… via GIPHY Because what’s the purpose of this? We all know, it’s because Karlie loves being messy. And then…Karlie and Joy go back and forth because Joy is also wondering wtf! Joy throws a drink in Karlie’s face and Sierra and Tokyo walk out. Karlie is pissed at Sierra for walking out because, in her mind, she did this for her, and even took a drink for her. via GIPHY via GIPHY Later on, Sierra confronts BK Brasco about all of the above and he does what every creep on this franchise does—deny, deny, deny and then tries to turn to tables. He’s annoyed that she would believe these rumors and denies messing around with Amber. via GIPHY But when Sierra brings up Joy, his stutter game is strong until he gets his story together. He says that he and Joy had a fling when he first moved to Atlanta. Sierra asks why he didn’t say anything before, but he said that he dealt with Joy while Sierra was still with Shooter, that it was done before they got together and that he didn’t feel it mattered anymore. Sierra ate it up. via GIPHY On a brighter note, Keely and Bleu got their ish together. Keely let him see his son again and it was such a sweet reunion and now back to the drama… The episode winds down with Erica paying Estelita a visit. She wants to know how Estelita went from crying about Stevie playing her to sleeping with him again. Erica outright asks Estelita what the heck is up then starts admonishing her and telling her that she needs to be careful about Stevie and generally messing up her reputation. Erica is all of a sudden the oracle because she had her own similar situation with Rich Dollaz. Estelita isn’t trying to hear it now that Stevie is finally doing what she wants with her music and she wishes Erica would reserve her judgment for someone else. She is a grown woman so, that’s that. But once again, we all know that Stevie J is gonna do what Stevie J does and that Erica is actually right in this situation.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Malaysia Pargo is attempting to introduce her relatives, Kristen and Cece to the fray on Basketball Wives , and we find all of the above, plus Jackie Christie, at dinner having a kiki. But let’s clear some things up real quick. Kristen’s husband Thomas Scott, who is Byron Scott’s son. Cece is Byron’s wife, Byron is Malaysia’s cousin, and Malaysia is crazy enough to be friends with Jackie, so that’s where all these connections connecting. Speaking of Cece, Evelyn, at various points in the episode, told Jen and eventually Kirsten that Cece was enticing men from her gym to come to her medical spa for happy endings. Evelyn alleges that this information came from other people who worked out at the same gym. Let’s hold on to this thought because we all know it’s going to get messy, especially because Jen starts repeating it like the parrot that she is. via GIPHY Fast forward a bit. Tami tells her boyfriend that Shaunie told her that Evelyn is back in town and that Evelyn does a good Tami impersonation. Tami thinks Evelyn is obsessed with her. She’s also not too cool on Jennifer because she thinks the fact that Jennifer is friends with Evelyn again, after falling out with her and talking mad smack, makes her fake. Speaking of Evelyn, Jackie is still pissed that Chantelle talked to her at the Mardi Gras party. This is so dumb. Moving forward, Kristen, Jackie, and Cece take a Polynesian dance class but the real point of this is gossip. After class, Kristen plays carrier pigeon and tells Cece what Evelyn said about her. Cece is obviously pissed, says the rumors aren’t true and plans to confront Evelyn. Jackie takes this info to Malaysia and Tami over dinner. You know how this goes, gossip, gossip, and more gossip because these grown women are perpetually in the mental state of high school. Malaysia feels some type of way about this because Cece is technically family, and of course she plans to get everyone together to discuss this. First Malaysia asks Cece if it’s true. Cece says it’s not true. But like, who would admit to this anyway? Now we find Jackie, Cece, Malaysia, Tami, Kristen, and Jennifer together for drinks. Things immediately jump off when Tami refers to Jennifer as Messy Mona for her involvement in spreading these rumors and because she just thinks she’s fake. They cut to the chase and confront Jen about this. Issa ambush. Jen is quick to say it’s not a rumor that came from her and that they were really just joking about it. Cece is being calm enough to receive Jen’s message, which is obviously unusual for this group, but Malaysia and Jackie seem to think that Cece needs to be acting like a wild banshee. Granted, Cece should be upset because as we all know, rumors can damage people’s reputations, especially a rumor like this because the insinuation is that Cece is a prostitute. Nothing gets resolved in this situation because the source of this rumor isn’t present. Tami eventually leaves, because she’s booked and busy now, and Jen follows her out to talk to her one on one since that didn’t happen inside the restaurant. Tami tells Jen that it’s not a good look to be the bone carrier and that she needs to stop being messy. Jen says she was just trying to figure out who Cece is. [Insert Jen’s fake bourgie voice] “I mean, is she a homewrecker or a prostitute?” and Tami, metaphorical guns blazing, quipped that Jen is already around that with Evelyn. via GIPHY Tami tells Jen not to be on the wrong side of Basketball Wives history with this one and to give Cece a chance, and that’s that. But it’s never that simple. There will be more drama next week when this rumor comes up again because Evelyn can’t not film with them forever.

Sara Sampaio brought her nipples out to the paparazzi – by wearing a sheer shirt and no bra – as all the girls are doing these days – which we all like because we are perverts who would never get to see their tits otherwise….something the girls showing their tits don’t seem to realize…because they get mad when we stare, despite them wearing it, because for some reason they aren’t wearing it for us to stare, even though we only see tits in porno and when it happens in our everyday lives we pay attention thanks to coming from an era when girls didn’t walk around topless. That said, Sara Sampaio, whined about a magazine posting or publishing her titty pics, that she let them take, called it sexual assault, yet walks around like this..like a harlot…hard to take her “rape” cries seriously… I’m not saying short skirts are deserving of rape, or that they beg to be raped, but they are easier to rape than pants….so protect yourself and don’t be an idiot and maybe bad things won’t happen to you….and maybe bad things you think are bad aren’t actually bad…because you made them happen…you fucking victims.
