Amber Rose And Blac Chyna Talk Stripping, Sex Toys And Pregnancy After a ll the controversy that resulted from Amber Rose’s debut episode of her podcast where she talked about having her first threesome, we’re curious to see what the public reaction will be to Amber’s second episode, which features her good friend Blac Chyna the woman who has become a trending topic on a near daily basis thanks in part to her relationship, pregnancy and engagement with Rob Kardashian . The episode starts mostly with Chyna revealing her pregnancy is going great and hasn’t had to deal with morning sickness, something Amber is extremely jealous of because she says she was still throwing up on the day she gave birth to her and Wiz’s son Bash. Chyna also talks about how she feels obligated to breastfeed due to her motherly instinct and learning about the benefits of having your placenta made into pills which have health benefits for both mother and child. “Just reading and knowing the pros of breast-feeding for your baby, and just recently I found out some new, cool stuff about not cutting the cord and sending your placenta; you can get these pills to take them after to make you and the baby healthy,” Chyna said. “If you notice dogs and cats, when they have their babies, they eat the placenta. You’re like, ‘No, don’t do that!’ But they do, it’s a healthy thing.” The conversation shifts to adult video which both women agree is the safest way to enjoy sex, masturbating while watching porn. Chyna and Amber also reveal they have the same favorite genre of porn — cream pies! Surprised or nah? The ladies talk sex toys as well, but Chyna reveals she isn’t using them in her current relationship. “Rob doesn’t like it! I gotta kinda sneak it sometimes. I wait till he leaves.” The ladies have a great time answering a voicemail about how to swallow without dealing with the unpleasant taste. Chyna laughs nonstop as Amber instructs the caller to either let her partner shoot his “shot” past her tastebuds straight down her throat or to treat it like a spa treatment and enjoy the benefits to the skin. The trio have a really interesting conversation toward the end of the podcast where they discuss how difficult it is to date while being high profile. “My dating pool is really small,” Amber says of her potential prospects.” Amber talks about how when she goes on public dates she is photographed by TMZ and it’s assumed she’s sleeping with people when they’re just getting to know each other. Dr. Donaghue tells Amber, “You have to go back to Philly to go on a date where there is no TMZ.” Amber’s response is, “And guess what? I’ll get robbed. I’ll pass.” Another interesting moments happened when a caller asked about whether it was okay to pursue a relationship with a guy who she discovered a friend had dated a year and a half before — however she didn’t make the discovery until after already hooking up and catching feelings! Amber advised the woman to fall back “if you and the friend are as close as me and Chyna.” Dr. Donaghue had a different opinion though. He said, “I’d like to think that if you’re truly friends, your friend would want you to explore the possibility of being happy in the new relationship, especially if you’ve moved on.” Amber chimed in that, that scenario had happened with her and Chyna before as well and that Chyna hadn’t cared but she had. Wow. We wonder which guy that was… Click HERE to listen to Amber’s Love Line podcast with Dr. Donaghue and Blac Chyna.
Justice??? Sandra Bland’s Family Settles Wrongful Death Suit The family of Sandra Bland will be awarded $1.9 million for the Texas woman’s death. Furthermore any legislation passed which benefits Waller County must be named after Bland. The New York Daily News reports: The family of Sandra Bland, the woman who died in a Texas jail after her controversial arrest, has settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $1.9 million, an attorney said. The family’s lawyer told ABC13 Thursday the civil suit has been settled, and the jail where Bland died will pay the bulk of it. The Waller County jail is on the hook for $1.8 million of the settlement, the attorney said. The Texas Department of Public Safety will pay $100,000 — the maximum amount allowed under state law. The case was scheduled to go to a jury trial in January 2017. Bland, 28, died in the jail in July 2015, days after her arrest after a traffic stop. A medical examiner, as well as the FBI, said she committed suicide by asphyxiating herself with a plastic garbage bag behind bars. But Bland’s family has said she may have been murdered, and would not have killed herself. No investigation has substantiated their claim. Is $1.9 million a fair settlement for Sandra Bland’s family??? It will never bring her back, but hopefully the settlement and the changes to the jail where she died brings them some comfort.
Brandon Marshall Pledges To Donate $300 For Every Tackle Yesterday, we reported that 49ers QB Colin Kaerpernick blasted brands who dropped NFL baller Brandon Marshall for kneeling during the National Anthem. Brandon now says he has no regrets in taking a stance against police brutality and inequality reports Denver Post : I don’t regret anything I’ve done. This process has made me rethink things, too, and now I know that I have the power to effect change, not only locally but also nationally. I will donate $300 for every tackle. Every single tackle. I’m compiling the list of local organizations and programs that I will donate to. Denver Police Chief Robert White suggested some during our meeting Tuesday. But I’m going to take my time to find the right organizations, because I want to make sure it gets into the right hands. I want to do this right. One person can make a change. Colin Kaepernick started the fire, and I believe it takes other people’s participation to keep it burning. Discuss.
Barack And Michelle Are Gonna Get It On Barack and Michelle Obama are the hottest President and First Lady of all time. This is not up for debate. What makes them even hotter is they are unafraid to show affection to each other at all times. They get all up on one another and have that look in their eyes that says “it’s about to go down.” Over the past eight years they’ve given us plenty of looks that say they are in love and happy to show it…and they might get freaky soon. Take a look at some of them.
Put on FULL blast!!! Candace Williams Blasts Terrell Suggs Candace Williams, the ex-wife of Terrell Suggs who divorced him in 2015, is blasting him for allegedly mistreating their children. Candace took to Instagram today to blast the Baltimore Raven for neglecting their two young children. According to Candace, Suggs has been sending their children to school without lunch and making them wear shoes several sizes too small. Candace and Terrell have a history of having a volatile relationship. Prior to their divorce Candace fired infidelity and domestic abuse allegations against the NFL star. The Baltimore Sun reports: In 2009, before they were married, she filed a request for a protective order claiming he had hit her and spilled bleach on her and their then-1-year-old son. She later requested that the order be rescinded after the couple reconciled. In late 2012, Candace Suggs accused him of punching her in the neck and dragging her behind his car as he drove away with their two children. At that time, Terrell Suggs was ordered to turn over seven guns, including an AK-47, because of the temporary protective order granted by the Baltimore County Circuit Court. Less than a month later, the couple married. Candace Suggs again asked for the protective order to be lifted. Ries said that the couple had signed a confidential pre-nuptial agreement that dictates the terms of the divorce. An attorney for Candace Suggs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Y I K E S. Candace is now clapping back at people blasting her for making the video; hit the flip to see it.
