According to The Hollywood Reporter , Steve Harvey’s daily program, Steve , will be sent to the talk show graveyard in fall of next year and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson will take its place. It hasn’t even been two months since Clarkson shot her pilot and NBC has already bought it to air in 11 U.S. cities of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Francisco, Miami, San Diego, Boston, Hartford and Washington, D.C. “I love connecting with people, playing games, music and finding ways to help or give back to communities/organizations,” Clarkson said of the hourlong show, which is produced by NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution. “Having my own talk show where I get to do all of these things is pretty much a dream job!” Kelly’s show is being described as a “weekday brunch party” with lots of guests from various parts of pop culture who are unlikely to ever meet and converse.

Amber Rose Says She’s Sick And Tired Of Folks Swiping Her Slut Swag For Profit While Bashing Her

FayesVision/WENN.com Amber Rose Calls Out Brands Jacking Her Style Amber Rose is fed up with folks hating on her “hoeness,” but for some reason loving it when it’s packaged differently with other faces attached. Amber says she’s noticed a lot of other brands and artists making taking ownership of negative labels cool outchea…however when she takes the word “ho” back from those who would weaponize it against her and flips it to point out patriarchy and slut-shaming, somehow it’s a problem for folks. She even mentions ‘Ye’s song “I Love It,” which outright says to a woman “you’re such a f*ckin hoe, I love it” and is a top stream most-watched Youtube video. This is not about the Artists and Talent in these videos. I am extremely frustrated. Every single year I put my blood, sweat and tears into my slutwalk. I did not create the SlutWalk movement. I did, however bring it to the forefront for this generation. People remind of this daily, through their deliberate attacks and evil comments. It becomes extremely frustrating when brands are “inspired” by the movement and curate my actual life story and use it as a marketing tool. The Amber Rose SlutWalk and SlutWalks all around the globe, do not receive the attention or support they deserve. I do interview after interview to bring more awareness about the equality issues we deal with as women and people….. Body shaming, Fat shaming, slut shaming and victim blaming. I take a lot of punches and a lot of scrutiny and I’m cool with that cuz I do it for the greater good. I also DON’T do it for the recognition AT ALL but God Damn Bruh smh. I remember a few years back I used to put #MILFIN and #MILF on all of my post to only see a music video about milfs that I was not invited to be in… cool. I get it, I was an Actual Stripper, I’m not worthy then I show up to the VMAs with my team with outfits that say slut and faggot etc and I go online and see huge brands take that and run with it and still no phone call. Two men made a song that said “you’re such a fucking hoe I love it” but if I refer to myself as a hoe, take back any derogatory label and turn it into a positive or be confident in my sexuality in anyway mufuckas need 30 showers and I’m literally the evilest person on earth yet everyone wants to take my fucking swag but look down on me? Shits annoying af But I’ll continue to be A trendsetter and help women – The Real Bad Guy Now, Amber knows good and damn well she was never going to get a phone call for Fergie’s “Milf Money” video when her ex-boyfriend’s wife was on set. But other than that, looking at the evidence here — especially the Deisel ad and the last commercial — we can completely see where she’s coming from on big companies jacking her “own what you are” style. However, we’re thinking Iris Bonner, painter and designer of “These Pink Lips,” who created the look in question is really the one who should be upset here. What do you think? Does Amber have a point? Getty/WENN

Backtrack BLVD: Bert And Ernie Confirmed Gay By Writer, Sesame Street Immediately Refutes

Image via Revierfoto/picture alliance via Getty Images Bert And Ernie Confirmed As Gay Couple Welp, you can stop the conspiracy theories . It’s official. According to TMZ , old school Sesame Street writer Mark Saltzman recently revealed to Queerty that beloved Sesame Street couple, Bert and Ernie, are indeed a couple! Saltzman began writing for the show in 1984, several years after its 1969 inception. But he says that it wasn’t about pushing a “gay agenda”, he wrote the characters to reflect his own personal relationship. Ok, so we have to address—that’s the big question, right? In the writer’s room, you’re all adults. Were you thinking of Bert & Ernie as a gay couple? Did that question ever come up? I remember one time that a column from The San Francisco Chronicle, a preschooler in the city turned to mom and asked “are Bert & Ernie lovers?” And that, coming from a preschooler was fun. And that got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it. And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualize them. The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie & I as “Bert & Ernie.” Saltzman goes on to explain: So you’re saying that Bert & Ernie became analogs for your relationship in a lot of ways? Yeah. Because how else? That’s what I had in my life, a Bert & Ernie relationship. How could it not permeate? The things that would tick off Arnie would be the things that would tick off Bert. How could it not? I will say that I would never have said to the head writer, “oh, I’m writing this, this is my partner and me.” But those two, Snuffalupagus, because he’s the sort of clinically depressed Muppet…you had characters that appealed to a gay audience. And Snuffy, this depressed person nobody can see, that’s sort of Kafka! It’s sort of gay closeted too. There you have it ladies and gentlemen, and gender non-binary, and queer and all the other letters. Straight from the horses mouth. Congrats to the happy couple for finally being able to live their truth. Peep what Sesame Street had to say about this revelation on the next page…

Big Boi Talks Wearing Tank Tops To Show Off His Tattoos With GQ [Video]

Big Boi Takes Us On A Tattoo Tour With GQ Big Boi is a legend not only in Atlanta or in hip hop, but in the world of music as a whole. He’s had his share of classics both with Andre 3000 and their collective Outkast, and  throughout his own successful career thereafter. It’s impossible to deny the rapper’s impression on our world of music, but he’s got more than just beats going on–the ATLien also has a dope collection of tattoos ready to show off. Sir Lucious L. Leftfoot sat down with the good people over at GQ to take us all on a tour of his most impressive, most important tattoos. The legendary rapper, actor, and producer starts off by talking about the two places he never wants tattoos: his back and his “Johnson,” the first because you would never be able to see it, the latter because it would hurt like hell. The first tat he talks about is his name “Twan” with a heart around it, because it’s the “name [his] mama gave him. The second tattoo he got was a lion on his forearm, saying that when he started rapping everything was always about “king s**t.” Big Boi then talks about some of his lines on Goodie Mob’s “Git Up, Git Out,” because it’s pretty perfect for this exact occasion. He raps, “I wore with tank tops to show off my tattoo, thought I was cool” which channels the affinity he had for his tattoos when he first got them, thinking they were the most cool accessories in the world. He also says that’s why he got the lion tattoo lower on his arm, so everybody could see it. The next tattoo he mentions is important to him and his Southern heritage, which drove him to get “DIRTY SOUTH” embossed across both of his arms. It’s clear that Big gets the most important things tattooed on his body, and this is most definitely one of them. Check out the entire episode below:

Lauryn Hill Abruptly Removes Santigold And Nas From Her Tour

Michael Hickey/Getty Images Lauryn Hill’s Tour Gets Some Interested Changes Several artists including Santigold, Nas, SZA, and Dave Chappelle were slated to perform for Lauryn Hill ‘s  Miseducation  20th Anniversary tour–but it looks like that won’t be happening, as some performances were cut from the final roster. The cancellations were a surprise to many fans, who were only told that there were “production issues.” Santigold, one of the artist removed from tour dates, took to Twitter to explain her no-show. I’m sorry you paid to see us and we’re not there. That really bums me out. I’m also bummed that @MsLaurynHill and crew didn’t tell ppl why we’re not there. She took us off the bill. — Santigold (@Santigold) September 13, 2018 Nope not sick. So sorry I wasn’t able to perform for you all. Note I saw from @MsLaurynHill Mgmt team read… “Due to production issues, The Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour is unable to accommodate Santigold’s performance this evening” — Santigold (@Santigold) September 13, 2018 The singer wrote that Hill and her tour organizers decided to “reduce the support” for Santigold’s set. Apparently Nas was also taken off the bill without much explanation. I will no longer be performing on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill Tour at the following dates due to the tour organizers' decision to reduce the support. So sorry to disappoint my fans. 9/14: Vancouver, BC 9/15: Seattle, WA 9/22: Phoenix, AZ 9/26: Denver, CO — Santigold (@Santigold) September 15, 2018   Unfortunately for Lauryn Hill fans, this is far from the first issue that the  Miseducation  tour–and other Lauryn tours/dates in the past–has faced. Most recently, after she angered fans by showing up late in Toronto earlier this summer, several North American dates were canceled. These new problems come only a month after Robert Glasper claimed that Hill stole music during the making of her first album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill , and has failed to credit musicians in the past.
