Kylie Jenner Exploits Baby Stormi to Promote Travis Scott Music Festival

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are very proud parents of one seriously cute baby. Little Stormi is nine months old, she is too cute for words. When she’s not twinning with her mommy , she’s smiling with her dad. Kylie shared a series of photos of her precious daughter with Travis. But did she post the pics for the wrong reasons? This pic is an older one, abut it’s just a taste of what you’re about to see. Kylie shared some black-and-white photos of her boyfriend and baby daddy, Travis Scott. In the images, Travis is holding his nine-month-old daughter, the adorable Stormi Webster. Stormi’s face is illuminated by an infectious smile of glee. Take a look: Kylie captioned the pic: “only the people around you really know how hard you work.” “i love to watch you make all your dreams come true,” Kylie continues. Kylie notes that Travis deserves recognition for “your first festival.” “We’re so proud of you,” she writes. Kylie then affirms: “we love you.” Stormi’s love is very apparent in these adorable images. This set of black-and-white photos followed Travis’ Astroworld Fest in NRG Park in Houston on Saturday. Travis’ festival included performances by Post Malone and Lil Wayne. One of the post’s many, many likes came from Kim Kardashian. Travis commented: “I love you wifey.” Kylie is not playing around when it comes to promoting her man and his music and his tour. She’s not just praising his work ethic here. She’s using their daughter to boost his brand. Some fans immediately latched onto him calling her “wifey.” That is understandable. They’re clearly living as a couple and they share an adorable daughter. But just because you admire a couple doesn’t mean that they’ll walk down the aisle soon — or at all. Reports have emphasized that, for a variety of reasons, Kylie and Travis don’t feel a need to marry . Kylie is a huge romantic, but things between them seem to be pretty good right now. Maybe they’ll just see where things lead naturally. There is always, always the possibility that they’ve gotten secretly engaged or even secretly married. It sounds ridiculous, of course, but remember that Cardi B married Offset in secret before the world even knew that they were engaged. Celebs pull all kinds of nonsense sometimes. Especially when they’re young and in love. But we’re not sure if Kylie and Travis have done anything of the sort. First of all, Kylie’s “secret” pregnancy only remained a secret for a few months. And second of all, Kylie and Travis let their fans know when they bone . They’re not exactly hush-hush about their romance. Some fans have been critical of Kylie using her platform and especially her infant daughter to promote Travis’ music. But she’s not actually making Stormi do anything. Literally, all that Kylie is doing is sharing a few photos of her baby to promote her man’s music. Kylie loves Stormi and she’s not exploiting her daughter. She’s just sharing some precious pics. Her followers love it, and Stormi is clearly enjoying taking photos with her parents. It’s harmless. View Slideshow: Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner Make FIRST EVER Red Carpet Appearance

Expired Beef: Pusha T’s Camp Flog Gnaw Performance Featured A “F**k Drake” Screen, But It Wasn’t His Idea

Photo by Zachary Mazur/FilmMagic Pusha T Says He Never Approved Drake Diss On His Festival Performance Screen Just when the world thought things had come to a halt,  Pusha T‘s set at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival on Saturday ignited those former beef flames with screens behind the rapper reading “Fuck Drake,” encouraging the crowd to chant the same. Even though fans were taken aback by the timing of this gesture–since the feud between Pusha and Drake seems to have calmed down–it’s not completely unlike Push to make a bold statement. Fans posted the photo from the rapper’s Camp Flog Gnaw stage in excitement, waiting for another round of beef to kick off…but it looks like we won’t be getting that anytime soon. Pusha T really want that Drake smoke pic.twitter.com/CVLMu3YUSf — Quake (@QuakeGW) November 11, 2018   The picture made its rounds on the internet, and after his set, Pusha logged onto Twitter to set the whole situation straight. Though he’s had fans at his shows chant “f**k Drake” in the past, this screen wasn’t his doing–and he wants everyone to know that. He tweeted about the incident, writing, “Corny azz tech dude f**king with my screens at @ CampFlogGnaw, I speak for myself and all of you know how I make my statements!! Dissing anybody on screen isn’t part of my show…” Corny ass tech dude fucking with my screens at @CampFlogGnaw , I speak for myself and all of you know how I make my statements!! Dissing anybody on screen isn’t part of my show… Otherwise great festival, thanx @tylerthecreator for having me out. — King Push (@PUSHA_T) November 11, 2018 So there you have it. Even though King Push still might not be the best of friends with the Toronto rapper, he wants everybody to know that dissing people on screen will never be apart of his stage performance. In other Camp Flog Gnaw news, Pusha’s G.O.O.D. Music counterparts Kanye West and Kid Cudi will be performing on Sunday for their first performance as Kids See Ghosts. We all know Kanye loves his onstage declarations, so we might get some more info on whether or not the crew is still beefing with Drake all these months later.

Wu-Tang Clan Recruits Teyana Taylor To Be Face Of Their Makeup Lipstick Collection

Source: D.L. Chandler / Hip-Hop Wired A few weeks after dropping a crazy hot collaboration on the remix for “Gonna Love Me,” Teyana Taylor and the Wu-Tang Clan are once again linking up for a brand new business venture. According to Billboard the G.O.O.D. Music artist is slated to be the face of Wu-Tang Clan’s upcoming makeup line. Yes, you read that right. From the rugged lands of Shaolin will come a new limited edition lipstick collection courtesy of Milk Makeup and the Staten Island killer bees. Of course the first question on everyone’s mind is “How?” Well, the RZA has a simple explanation. “I have a great relationship with Milk’s founder, Rassi, and as New Yorkers, we’ve frequented some of the same circles. We spoke about fashion and the cosmetic world and I revealed that [Talani], my wife, has a cool perspective about makeup [because] in her youth, she was in the modeling circles,” said Wu-Tang’s RZA to Billboard. “She is a fan of Milk Makeup’s products and when [Rassi and I] talked about forming a collaboration that reflected our NYC sensibility and philosophy, makeup became the unique and unpredictable choice. The Milk Makeup collaboration was spearheaded by my wife.” Sounds about right. Naturally, the eight upcoming longwear lipsticks will bear the kind of labels that you’d expect from a Wu-Tang inspired collection. Each will be named after the I Ching Trigrams: Sacred, Fire, Chi, Flow, Frequency, Source, Cypher, and Ruckus. All lipsticks will come in different shades of pink and red and will be featured in high shine, nourishing matte and dimensional glitter. Known for having completely vegan products, Milk is taking their collaboration with the Wu to the next level and including some Chinese-inspired ingredients such as sacred lotus water, cherry blossom, ginseng, bamboo shoots, and Chinese red dates that will help protect, hydrate, and soothe the lips upon application. Adding to the lipstick’s mystique will be the cases it will come in as they’ll be encased in solid black bullets, which is a stark contrast to Milk’s typical white, gray, and clear packaging. When you open up the bullet, a gold dragon wraps around the stick. The outer packaging is also solid black, and features the Wu-Tang “W,” as well as a new exclusive symbol that blends Milk’s logo with the Chinese symbol for beauty. This collection is going to be the bomb, b. Will you be checking for the Milk Makeup x Wu-Tang Clan collection when it drops? Check out the spot for it below and let us know.

Here’s Who We Would Cast In An All Black Live-Action Remake Of ‘The Little Mermaid’

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.

Here’s Who We Would Cast In An All Black Live-Action Remake Of ‘The Little Mermaid’

Calm Down: White Celebrities Who Think Black People Looove Them

View post:

Source: Eugene Gologursky / Getty Every now and then, a White person comes along that the Black delegation will usher in as honorary brethren. This person can be referred to as someone “invited to the cookout,” an “honorary brother/sister,” or a White person who “gets a pass.” However, when these non-melinated phenomenons happen, it’s important to remember two things. First off, the Black delegation is always changing and multifaceted depending on where you live, who you hang out with and the things you’re into. Secondly, there’s a difference between Black people “loving” a White person and “loooving” a White person. Loving a White person usually means you love their style, their music or some aspect about their personality (see: Justin Timberlake , Robin Thicke ), but you’re still able to hold them accountable when they fall short on topics like racism, the nuances of the N-word (don’t say it!), or how they season their potato salad. In contrast, loooving a White person is a borderline toxic form of love where you’ll let a White person get away with almost anything because they’re so “hip,” “cool,” or overall talented. White people make a huge mistake when they think Black people looove them. Alec Baldwin recently made this mistake in an interview with   The Hollywood Reporter  when he said, “Ever since I played Trump, Black people love me. They love me. Everywhere I go, Black people go crazy. I think it’s because they’re most afraid of Trump.” No, no, no Baldwin. First off, to my earlier point, these Black people who “love” you might be of a different delegation than other Black delegations. To be frank, I can’t think of an entire time in my life when Alec Baldwin came up in a conversation amongst Black friends. Many on Black Twitter seemed to agree: i for real don't think i've ever talked to another black person about alec baldwin. https://t.co/b6UC5LeMoR — Spooky Bread Terry (@SlimiHendrix) October 10, 2018 We had one of our big Black bar-b-ques in Wakanda last night, and we couldn't stop talking about how much we Blacks just loves us some Alec Baldwin https://t.co/hoxuRYzMg9 — Tariq Nasheed (@tariqnasheed) October 10, 2018 Its been hours and I'm still unsure of where to begin the list of ways Alec Baldwin got us fucked up. https://t.co/8ZCPcQ62Y0 — Sylvia Obell (@SylviaObell) October 10, 2018 To my second point, just because there’s Black people who “love” Alec Baldwin doesn’t mean they “looove” Alec Baldwin. Will these Black people put their neck on the line for Alec Baldwin if he messes up? I’ll wait.   At the end of the day, White people should just refrain from saying Black people “love” them, even if that White person has contributed something of value to a Black person’s life. On top of this, White people should never assume that just because Black people support them, it gives them the right to say or do whatever they want in regards to a whole community. Alec Baldwin isn’t the first White person to be feeling himself a little too much. Hit the next pages to check out other White folks who need to calm down before they start speaking for an entire community.

Kylie Jenner: I Don’t Need Family Anymore! I’m a Billionaire!

New mom Kylie Jenner has been stunning the world with her post-baby bikini body , but she’s more focused on her baby and her business these days. In fact, she may be a little too busy to slum it with her siblings on the reality show that catapulted them all to stardom. A new report says that Kylie wants to drop Keeping Up With The Kardashians because she’s a billionaire. RadarOnline reports that Kylie may quit KUWTK . (Try saying that five times rapidly) “Kris is desperate to keep Kylie on the show,” the insider warns. The show is built on the power of their entire family. Unlike, say, Rob, viewers would miss seeing Kylie. “And,” the source says, Kris “thinks that she is essential to renegotiating” how much they are paid and how much control the family maintains over production and editing. That is, after all, something that Momager Kris will need to do “after the contracts end.” But Kylie’s status as the world’s most powerful influencer may not be the leverage that Kris is seeking. “But,” the insider notes. “She has a billion dollars already.” Or close enough. Kylie Cosmetics is worth enough to make your eyes bleed, and the value keeps going up every year. “She doesn’t need the show at all anymore,” the source reveals. That could spell trouble for the family’s signature series. Kylie hasn’t needed the show for a while. But now, she just has other priorities. “Kylie wants to focus on her baby and her cosmetics line instead,” the insider explains. Reality stardom has reportedly been getting old. Probably because she’s been at it for half of her life. “She hasn’t been into the show in a while,” the source reports. “And,” the insider continues. “It just has been really difficult for her to fit it into her already super busy schedule.” If this report is true, it is understandable that Kylie feels this way. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris all signed up for Keeping Up With The Kardashians . They were grown adults. They had a choice. Kylie was just a kid. This life path has been massively rewarding, but it’s not something that she chose for herself. Kylie Cosmetics, however, is her baby. Stormi, in a much more literal sense, is also her baby. It would make a lot of sense for her to focus on the things that she really wants in life instead of upon the things that were thrust upon her. Especially if she doesn’t need that reality show paycheck to pay the bills. But let’s look at this from another angle — and consider whether this report is true. First of all, Kylie may feel some sense of familial obligation to help keep the show going. She’s certainly helped out her family before. (Well, she helped out Rob before — he’s arguably the only adult in the family who really needs help with anything) Second of all, we should remember that all of the Kardashian projects are inextricably tied to their respective brands. That means that their bodies, their social media presence, their products, and their reality television appearances do not exist within a vacuum. Kylie may fear that abandoning her family’s show could eventually cause her company to lose value. There’s another huge factor. Back in July, we learned that Life of Kylie was renewed . If Kylie is really too fatigued to continue being on a show on which she is part of an ensemble cast, is she really going to keep doing a show on which she is the star? We’re not suggesting that anyone place bets one way or the other, but while Kylie may feel conflicted, we wouldn’t be surprised if she sticks with KUWTK . At least, we don’t expect her to jump ship until the show goes even further downhill. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Tries Cereal with Milk for First Time, Confounds the Internet

Nicolas Cage: The Hollywood Gossip Would Like to Issue a Retraction

The Hollywood Gossip would like to issue the following retraction: In a previous article, we wrote the following: According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Nicolas Cage’s ex-girlfriend, Vickie Park, accused Cage of assaulting her while “severely intoxicated” at the SLASH Film Festival in Vienna last month.

Little Brother Reunite For 1st Time In 10 Years For Art Of Cool Fest

Source: C.McGraw/Victoria Said It / C.McGraw/Victoria Said It-Radio One Raleigh It might have felt like the early 2000s again for many Hip-Hop fans Saturday night (Sept. 29) at the Art Of Cool music festival when Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh, and 9th Wonder banded together once again. The trio better known to the masses as Little Brother rocked together for the first time in a decade in a crowd-pleasing set. Little Brother was not a scheduled act, but after booked act Royce Da 5’9 reportedly missed his flight, 9th Wonder got the gang together and back into action. Posts on the members’ respective social media account made the announcement official, and despite press in the past stating this moment wouldn’t happen again, it was clear the chemistry between the men has never wavered. Fans caught video of Phonte and Big Pooh pushing each other with 9th Wonder providing the backdrop per usual. While this moment certainly satiated fans of the group and sparked hopes of a return to making music, time will tell if the group will hop back into the studio to give listeners a new project. Check out the footage of Little Brother’s Art Of Cool set below courtesy of CLTure Media. — Photo: C.McGraw/Victoria Said It
