Maybe her team just wanted to strike while the iron was recently unplugged? Either way, check out Ariana’s ode to her latest relationship. Sheesh, this song is only two months old and its lyrics have already aged so poorly… Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images/YouTube

GIUSEPPE CACACE/AFP/Getty Images) The world was in shock back in July when news broke that Tina Turner ‘s 59-year old son Craig Turner had committed suicide by fatally shooting himself in the head. The Rock & Roll legend has been understandably mum on the matter, until now. She told BBC News , “I still don’t know what took him to the edge because at that stage he had said to me that he had never met a woman that he felt that way about. He was bringing her to meet me [for] his birthday in August. He had decorated his apartment that I bought him years ago. He had gotten a new job with a prominent real estate company in California, [which] he was very happy with.” The eight-time Grammy winner continued on, adding that she thinks loneliness played a part in Craig’s decision to end his life. “I think it was something with being alone. But when I think that, why didn’t he call the new girlfriend that give him the lift? He was an introverted person. He was very shy, so I didn’t know either, except now when I listen back to our last conversations, I notice a change. The last few times we talked, the conversations were different, and I didn’t know that until after the suicide.” Miss Tina may be heartbreaking over losing her eldest child, but she insists that she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. And when it’s her time to go, it won’t be a problem because, “I really don’t mind leaving,” she said. Our thoughts are still with Tina and her family during this time.

Well the Drake and Pusha T battle just took an interesting turn. A few days after Drake appeared on The Shop with LeBron James , Push appeared on The Joe Budden Podcast to discuss everything from the battle, who actually gave up the info about Drake’s son and much more. Around the 20-minute mark is where things truly pick up. On Drake’s Appearance On The Shop “I f*ck with The Shop. Cool to see LeBron opinionated and curse. With that being said … that particular episode, Maverick ruined the whole show. It wasn’t authentic to me. On top of that, it was biased, you didn’t even camouflage the bias. But, I just thought it was crazy. I don’t see how you can chime in so much without mentioning “Two Birds One Stone,” Cudi’s mental health issues, mentioning my wife … I don’t see how you can breeze through all of that.” RELATED: Drake Opens Up On Kanye/Pusha T Beef On HBO’s “The Shop” [VIDEO] RELATED: Pusha T Responds To Drake With Vicous “The Story Of Adidon” Diss On Who Gave Push The Information About Drake’s Son: “The information came from 40. It didn’t come from Kanye, at all. 40 is sleeping with a woman, who begins to . . . he talks to her daily. Five, six hours a day . . . And ultimately speaks about how he’s disgruntled about certain things, notoriety and things involving Drake and his career, and so on and so forth. With that also came the fact that Drake has a child. With that also came the trip that everybody took to go see the child, and bring him gifts, and all this information. She divulged this information. That’s where it came from.” On his thoughts on the battle: “I don’t even know J Prince. He did a book tour on the back of this. All these false narratives are covering up the fact that, ‘Bro, we had a battle and you came up on the short end of the stick.’” WELL.

What is your favorite thing about Ariel? pic.twitter.com/phHfJJmr0l — The Little Mermaid (@TheDisneyAriel) January 20, 2014 Back in 1923, Walt and Roy Disney founded The Walt Disney Company and ninety-five years later it’s still going strong. In fact, Disney has been making headlines after announcing plans to reimagine The Little Mermaid as a live-action film. The animated musical fantasy is a favorite for ’90s kids, so of course all our grown behinds have intense opinions about who should star in the remake. Rumor is Zendaya and Lady Gaga are being considered for the roles of Princess Ariel and Ursula, respectively—Zendaya’s cool but Black Twitter had other ideas for Ursula, namely, she should be a BBW. We ain’t mad at that! Nahhhh, Ursula was a BBW or a drag queen. Don't try and ruin this as well. Urgh, slightly over it with the Disney live action remakes atm https://t.co/QxP7dRlM8t — Nola Marianna Ojomu (@NolaMarianna) October 16, 2018 Let’s take a look at the original cast. There’s Princess Ariel, an antsy teen who’s tired of life underwater in the kingdom of Atlantica. There’s her dad, King Triton, who lays down the law—with love; Flounder, Ariel’s adventurous but nervous BFF; Sebastian, the crab who serves as the King’s most trusted advisor; Prince Eric, the dreamy human being Ariel is willing to risk it all for; and of course Ursula, the trifling evil sea witch who tries to scam Ariel out of her voice. We have some ideas on who else could do these characters justice. Get into our list below and let us know if you agree. Princess Ariel Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN Yara Shahidi – Can you imagine having the ever so woke Grown-ish actress swim up to the surface of the sea to reveal those curly locks and million dollar smile? We can. Source: Brian To/WENN Chloe or Halle Bailey – We wouldn’t be mad at Disney casting either one of these gorgeous sisters for the role of Ariel. From their luscious locs to their beautiful singing voices, we think they’d be perfect. King Triton Source: Ron Asadorian / Splash News Will Smith – Who better than the Fresh Prince to play King of the Sea and father to Princess Ariel? Will Smith would not only do the original role justice, he’d add his own comedic twist to the remake and look zaddy-ish while doing so. Prince Eric Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty Luka Sabbat – Luka plays Yara Shahidi’s Prince Charming on Grown-ish and we can’t get enough. We actually really want to see this happen. Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Bryshere Y. Gray – Ladies love Bryshere as Hakeem Lyon on Empire— he could definitely do this role justice. Source: Tony Forte/WENN Shameik Moore – Oh heyyy Shameik…another fine brother that would make the perfect prince for Ariel. Flounder Source: John Shearer / Getty Caleb McLaughlin – This Stranger Things actor is the sweet young guy we need as Ariel’s BFF. Source: Frederic Kern/Future Image/WENN Jaden Smith – Or, maybe Ariel’s BFF needs a little edge the second time around. Jaden, you free? Sebastian Source: George Pimentel / Getty Kevin Hart – Sebastian was a key role in the animated film, playing the King’s most trusted advisor while also doubling as Princess Ariel’s sidekick and babysitter. This has Kevin Hart written all over it. Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Mike Epps – OR, would his arch nemesis Mike Epps be a more hilarious baby sitter? Ursula Source: Robin Marchant / Getty Mo’Nique – Oh man, Mo’Nique would kill this role. Hands down. Source: Getty Jill Scott – We can definitely picture a villainous Jill Scott scamming Ariel out of her voice with no remorse. Source: Splash News / Splash News Eryka Badu – People know better than to play with Erykah Badu in real life, so we’d love to see her play the villain in The Little Mermaid . Plus, look at her.
