Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Cassie Say Team Of Black Women Have Uplifted Her Career Cassie is giving all glory to Black women for giving her career new purpose and effect. In a new interview L’Officiel , the singer/actress/entrepreneur talks about taking her career to the next level now that she is expecting a daughter. “My priorities have absolutely changed, not just for creating an amazing future and life for my daughter, but because I want her to be proud of me,” Cassie shared. “I’ve heard people say that they’re nervous to raise females in today’s world, but I’m excited! I can’t wait to see her grow, learn and challenge the world right back!” A big part of getting to that next level is the work of her new team that is comprised of predominantly Black women. When asked about working with a crew of black female creatives, Cassie explained how the new squad has helped her confidence. “When it comes to me choosing to work with certain people I have to go off of an organic connection. I love the fact that everyone that I work with now communicates fully on every aspect, we are not in competition, we work as a team and they actually understand who I am and who I want to mold myself to become. As a group, we work as a collective. “For me, this is the first time that I feel that I actually have a strong team in place that has my best interests at heart and the added bonus is that the majority of the team are creative black females. To me, it means we see each other,” she continued. “The energy I feel when we’re in a room together is unmatchable. We all have our own levels of experience and we bring our best to the table. We support each other and balance each other out all at the same time. It just works.” We’ll certainly be keeping on eye on Cassie’s moves to see how they reflect this new foray into overt Blackness.

Karlie Redd’s Rarely Seen Daughter Appeared On Love And Hip Hop Atlanta And She’s Her Mom’s Twin [VIDEO]

See the original post here:

Source: Jim Spellman / Getty Karlie Redd  may have been on  Love and Hip Hop Atlanta  since its inception in 2012, but it’s a rarity for fans to see her daughter, Jasmine. If you blinked, you may have missed Jasmine making her debut on the show back in 2015 where she spoke with her mother about the star’s relationship drama. Karlie also posted a photo of her daughter last January, but those types of images from the star are few and far between. Since then though, Karlie has kept her out of the spotlight, and Jasmine has also chosen to steer clear from it as well, making her Instagram private. However, on Monday, Karlie’s daughter came out of hiding to appear on the latest episode of  Love and Hip Hop Atlanta  to set folks straight for talking poorly about her mother. Fans of the show were giddy about her appearance because the rare sightings of Jasmine made her something like Bigfoot to LHHATL viewers, who get a glimpse at the rest of the cast’s kids on a regular basis. Text “RICKEY”to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). While we first met her as a fresh-faced beauty coming home from college to visit with her mom years ago, this time around, Jasmine is older, she’s working, wearing a full face of makeup, and these days, she’s looking exactly like her mother. Looking exactly like the star doesn’t always come with perks though, because she told Karlie that she was taking a break from school because people had been confronting her with rumors about her mom: When your mom is reality TV royalty, it doesn’t always come with its perks! #LHHATL pic.twitter.com/HDmWpArxrh — Love & Hip Hop (@loveandhiphop) July 9, 2019 In a later clip, which was quite melodramatic if we’re being honest, Karlie and Jasmine attend a mother-daughter event put on by Rasheeda Frost. While there, the women encounter Karlie’s former friend, Pooh, as well as her daughter. If you’ve been tuning in this season, you know Pooh has been running around telling everyone that Karlie participated in a threesome with her and her husband, Hiram, a story Karlie denies. Unfortunately, Karlie put her daughter in the middle of that situation by using the event as an opportunity to try and clear her name (wrong place, wrong time), and when Pooh tried to call her out, Jasmine let everyone know she was willing to go to war for her mom: It was a lot, obviously. Still, viewers were glad to see Jasmine had grown into such a beautiful young lady, a doppleganger for her mother, as well as a rider for her.

Serena Williams Is A Perfectly Sculpted Golden Goddess On The Cover Of Harper’s Bazaar

See the rest here:

Source: Victoria Jones – PA Images / Getty Serena Williams ‘ body is sculpted by the finest craftsman in heaven and she is showing it off on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar in an unretouched photo that bares her bottom. @serenawilliams pens a candid essay for our August issue about standing up for herself, and becoming the strong woman, athlete, and mother she is today. https://t.co/8yVWKVG4SP — Harper's Bazaar (@harpersbazaarus) July 9, 2019 The dual cover portrays Serena as a golden goddess as her metallic gown blows in the wind. The champion tennis player penned an essay for the August issue, going into detail about her 2018 Grand Slam loss against Naomi Osaka. She was fined three times and ultimately, the referee had given the game to Osaka, who Serena admits played a better game. She admitted she couldn’t find peace after the match and felt betrayed by the sport she loved so much. “I felt defeated and disrespected by a sport that I love—one that I had dedicated my life to and that my family truly changed, not because we were welcomed, but because we wouldn’t stop winning.” “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve felt a need to voice my opinion and be heard…And I won’t ever stop raising my voice against injustice.” —For our August 2019 issue, @serenawilliams talks about never being afraid to use your voice: https://t.co/1bnucoZT7H pic.twitter.com/JsfHpMmCAI — Harper's Bazaar (@harpersbazaarus) July 9, 2019 Serena was convinced it was because she was a woman standing up for herself. “If I were a man, would I be in this situation? What makes me so different? Is it because I’m a woman? I stop myself to avoid getting worked up. I tell myself, ‘You’ve been through so much, you’ve endured so much, time will allow me to heal, and soon this will be just another memory that made me the strong woman, athlete, and mother I am today.’” She eventually questioned she had done the wrong thing standing up for herself because Osaka’s win was overshadowed by her behavior. “This debacle ruined something that should have been amazing and historic. Not only was a game taken from me but a defining, triumphant moment was taken from another player, something she should remember as one of the happiest memories in her long and successful career. My heart broke. I started to think again, “What could I have done better? Was I wrong to stand up? Why is it that when women get passionate, they’re labeled emotional, crazy, and irrational, but when men do they’re seen as passionate and strong?’” She sent Osaka an apology letter. “I thought I was doing the right thing in sticking up for myself. But I had no idea the media would pit us against each other. I would love the chance to live that moment over again. I am, was, and will always be happy for you and supportive of you. I would never, ever want the light to shine away from another female, specifically another black female athlete,” she wrote. But Osaka’s response gave her the clarity she had been seeking. “People can misunderstand anger for strength because they can’t differentiate between the two,” she said. “No one has stood up for themselves the way you have and you need to continue trailblazing.” The whole incident left Serena guarded. She didn’t pick up a racket until much later. “Ultimately, my daughter is the reason I use my voice, the reason I picked up a racket again. Love breathes life and newfound perspective into people. It’s not about quitting when someone presents a challenge; it’s about getting up when you are down, dusting yourself off and asking, “Is that the best you got?” Because I have God with me, and I can take whatever comes my way.” Read the full essay, here .

Serena Williams Writes Moving Essay Regarding 2018 U.S. Open Loss

Continue reading here:

Source: TPN / Getty Serena Williams is currently playing in Wimbledon and made it to the semifinals after gutting out a 2-1 match against fellow American Alison Riske. While the tennis world is still very much tuned in to Williams’ exploits on the court, an essay she penned as part of Harper’s Bazaar August cover story shares details of her controversial 2018 U.S. Open match against Naomi Osaka . From Harper’s Bazaar : “Hey, Naomi! It’s Serena Williams. As I said on the court,I am so proud of you and I am truly sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing in sticking up for myself. But I had no idea the media would pit us against each other. I would love the chance to live that moment over again. I am, was, and will always be happy for you and supportive of you. I would never, ever want the light to shine away from another female, specifically another black female athlete. I can’t wait for your future, and believe me I will always be watching as a big fan! I wish you only success today and in the future. Once again, I am so proud of you. All my love and your fan, Serena.” When Naomi’s response came through, tears rolled down my face. “People can misunderstand anger for strength because they can’t differentiate between the two,” she said graciously. “No one has stood up for themselves the way you have and you need to continue trailblazing.” It was in this moment that I realized the real reason the US Open was so hard for me to get over: It wasn’t because of the backlash I faced but rather because of what had happened to the young woman who deserved so much more in her special moment. I had felt that it was my fault and that I should have kept my mouth closed. But now, seeing her text putting everything in perspective, I realized she was right. Classy. The entire piece actually dives deep into the perception that women athletes face far more scrutiny than their male counterparts when it comes to being expressive on the court, the field, and in life period. The entire essay is a worthy read full of self-reflection and humility. Read the essay in full here .

Kylie Jenner SLAMMED After Flaunting Massive Car Collection: Stop Flexing on Peasants!

Last week, Kylie Jenner caught flak for not giving her daughter any privacy and not seeming to have any plans to do so. Now, she’s flaunting her obscene wealth — yes, even more than usual. After Kylie showed off her massive collection of expensive cars, fans have to ask: is she trying to be cruel to followers, or is she just clueless? On Saturday, July 6, Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to share a new pic. The 21-year-old MILF wore a Christian Cowan outfit for the photo alongisde Versace shade. The outfit isn’t what made the photo controversial, however. Kylie was photographed leaning against part of her massive and wildly expensive car collection on her sprawling driveway. The opulent collection includes a Range Rover and two different Lamborghinis. Even some of Kylie’s own fans thought that the display of mega-wealth was a little much. Some of her critics took to Instagram’s comments to give her a piece of their minds. “Sorry billionaire,” accused one comment. “Love flexing on the peasants don’t you?” “Modern Day Cancer this family is,” another wrote furiously. Cancer is unfortunately not a thing of the past and very much modern day, for the record. “Really. Why do you want the world to see what you have,” asked one commenter. That same follower continued: Are you rubbing our face in it!!! Well good for you. Enjoy now because you can’t take it with you.” Not all religions believe in an afterlife in which earthly possessions are left behind, but the Kardashians are Christians, so that fits. “Bruuhh… why’d u need so many cars??” asked another follower. “You can flaunt them as you want,” the commenter acknowledged. “But having one luxury car is enough.” Others suggested that Kylie could use her famous riches for the betterment of the world. “Wonder what would happen if you put some of that money into helping other people instead of just yourself,” speculated one follower. That’s fair enough. It doesn’t sound like that person resents her wealth, but is just thinking of positive uses for it. “Thinking the same,” another comment reads. “Displaying so much wealth you can’t help thinking about helping others.” Keep in mind that Kylie has never been anything but extremely rich in her life, even in infancy. To her, being in need is probably an abstract concept. Kylie did have her usual flood of compliments, of course — the critics were in the minority. She also had her ardent defenders. “I’m sure she gave back to whomever she chose to,” suggests one fan without providing any evidence. “And still bought every car of her choice!” the defender continues. “She can’t help if her reality sounds like she’s bragging!” suggests the comment, which concludes: “Bosssss!!!!” One of the nice things about being a billionaire, aside from having more wealth than thousands of random people combined, is your defenders. People will crawl out of the woodwork to invent fanfiction about what you “probably’ do with your money in the face of any criticism. With a celebrity like Kylie, this effect is greatly magnified. But billionaires don’t need anyone to defend them. If they do, they can hire someone to do it. If someone who is having to skip meals or carefully plan out their budget between paychecks gets annoyed at Kylie’s car collection, just let them vent.

Tori Roloff: Uggh! This Pregnancy is Making Me So Fat!

We’re just gonna go right ahead and say this up front: We love and admire you, Tori Roloff. You’ve managed to build a huge Instagram following while remaining upbeat, kind, helpful and, simply put, normal . That’s not easy to do in this day and age. Why did we feel a need to open this post by stating our take on the Little People, Big World star? Because Roloff shared an emotional message on her social media account over the weekend that candidly focused on her second pregnancy… how it compares to her first pregnancy… and what she is struggling with these days, both physically and mentally. “This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me than the last. Don’t get me wrong-I’ve been so lucky… im not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord),” wrote Amy to open her caption to the photo above. Amy and Zach Roloff announced they were expecting again in mid-May. They are already parents to a two-year old named Jackson. And Tori has talked previously about why this pregnancy has been a a challenge . In this case, however, she gets far more personal than ever before. “I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around,” Tori now confesses, adding: “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure. “Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).” About two weeks ago, Tori joked about how quickly her baby bump was growing . Here, though, she gets pretty serious pretty darn quickly. “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way,” she admits, prior to turning her attention to her gender in general and writing: “Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do.” Her what? Tori goes on to deliver a rather awesome pep talk. This is what she writes: You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Like we said at the outset: We really love Tori Roloff. We can’t wait to meet her daughter in November. Yup: We already know the baby’s gender and approximate due date. Back on May 13, Tori and Zach confirmed their major family news to Us Weekly. “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother!” the couple shared back then, adding: “We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” Hey, we feel the same way! We just said that! Congratulations, you two. And also: SO well said above, Tori. Hang in there. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives

Amber Portwood: Released From Jail … to Go to Prison?!

Remember a few days ago when people were still talking about how far Amber Portwood has come, and how she’s doing so much better these days? Things change so quickly, don’t they? To be fair, it’s not that difficult to see why so many people thought that the Indiana native had turned her life around. In the early days of Teen Mom, going back a decade at this point, she was on drugs. Like, insanely hard drugs. She was high all the time, didn’t treat her mental illnesses, and assaulted Gary Shirley in front of their daughter, Leah. Eventually she went to prison for a whole lot of things – drug stuff, plus that previously mentioned domestic violence. She served 17 months of a five-year sentence. Seventeen months. Nearly a year and a half of her life behind bars. When she was released, she talked a lot about how much she’d changed, but it was hard to buy that for some time. After all, she was with mega douche Matt Baier (below). It was also hard to believe she was clean when she kept drinking with Baier, an addict with his own suspect past. After  her truly bizarre appearance on Marriage Boot Camp , many people believed she was back on drugs as well. Then, after leaving the Marriage Boot Camp set, she got with Andrew Glennon, a crew member on the show. Yeah. Her life has been a roller coaster to say the least, and the biggest twists and turns were yet to come … Within literal days of starting their relationship, she was pregnant, but here’s where things seemed to take a turn. After she gave birth to their son, James, it was very noticeable how different she was with him compared to years past. Looking back on Leah when she was a baby, and how Amber responded, it was like watching a different person. In a positive way. It appeared, at least to us, like Andrew did a great job of calming her down and helping her deal with her anger problems. He also helped her with her postpartum depression . “Wow, that Andrew is so good for her,” more than a few Teen Mom fans expressed in recent years. “She’s so different!” Turns out, not so much. Early Friday morning, Amber was arrested for domestic battery  following an incident that was concerning to say the least. We still don’t have the full story, but around 3:00 a.m., Andrew was holding James and Amber allegedly assaulted him. He sent a text to 911, a cool new feature in their state, and the responder called police, saying: “I received a text message from someone saying that their life and their son’s life is in danger.” A few hours later, police arrived to arrest the 29-year-old reality star, and she was taken to the local jail to be processed. She stayed there all day, and there was some speculation that since the domestic battery charge was a felony, she’d stay there until Monday morning when she could see a judge. Not so! She was finally released yesterday afternoon after being bonded out – all in all, she spent right around a day and a half behind bars. She still has to see a judge on Monday morning, specifically at 8:30. Now, we’re not legal experts or psychics or anything like that, but still, we get a feeling that this isn’t going to go so well. Remember, this isn’t the first time Amber’s been arrested for domestic violence. Years ago, she was originally arrested on three counts of this same act, and sentenced to probation. When she violated that probation, that’s when she went to prison before. Indiana, where she lives, is one of the states that has the “three strike law,” which should truly terrify her. Essentially, if a person is convicted of a violent felony multiple times, they’ll have to serve the full sentence the third time around. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: I’m Suicidal and It’s MTV’s Fault! Considering that the full sentence for a repeat offender wouldn’t be a light one in all likelihood, that makes it pretty clear that they take crimes like these seriously, don’t you think? We’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get an update on what’s happening, but in the meantime, maybe we’ll get a day of rest in the midst of all this Teen Mom drama . Eh, probably not. But we can can dream, right? View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: I Wanted to Hang Myself After Giving Birth!

Cardi B Checks Reporter, But ‘Okurrr’ Trademark Request Is Denied [Video]

Go here to read the rest:

Source: TIMOTHY A. CLARY / Getty Cardi B continues to find out how real her  Invasion Of Privacy really is. The life of the Bronx bombshell comes with ups and downs; last week was no different. The Grio is reporting that Belcalis had a very unprofessional run in with a popular Latin television personality. Things went left from the beginning as Gelena Solano from El Gordo y La Flaca (Univision) allegedly just snuck up on her and family. This was a big no no for Bardi. She vented about the situation on an Instagram Live session. “I love  El Gordo y la Flaca, I love this show – but the way that you work, you lady, you are not professional! I’m literally getting off my car, the door is not even closed, and you see that I’m with my daughter and I’m with my dad and you put a camera,” she revealed. “I turn around and there’s a camera and a mic in my mouth. You don’t know how to do your job! That’s not how it works when I’m with my child.” Later in the clip she explained her strong stance on not having her parents in the publicity mix. “My parents, they don’t like to be on camera. Back in the day I always used to post my parents and it got to the point that certain people were stalking me and that freaked my parents out.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Enrique Santos (@enriquesantos) on Jun 27, 2019 at 2:43am PDT Cardi was also handed another bad hand by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. According to  The Blast her request to trademark her catchphrase “Okurrr” for merchandising purposes was denied. The official response was that the word is a “widely-used commonplace expression” thus it is not eligible for trademarking. They also added it “is a slogan or term that does not function as a trademark or service mark to indicate the source of applicant’s goods and/or services”. “Bodak Yellow” famously made the term 2018’s new it word via her indelible social media presence and hilarious interviews. You can see her break down the meanings to “Okurrr” and “Eeeooowwww” below. Photo: Getty
