Source: Presley Ann / Getty Logic is now a certified an ex-husband. The Def Jam rapper has officially divorced his now-former wife, Jessica Andrea , after about three years of marriage. Reports TMZ : The rapper just got a sign-off from a judge in his divorce case. He was the one who filed, citing “irreconcilable differences” in his marriage to Jessica Andrea . They tied the knot in Oct 2015, when Logic was just 25. As we reported, Logic became “very distant” from Jessica after the success of his track, “1-800-273-8255,” which dropped late last year. Shortly after the 2 appeared at the Grammys together in January, he dropped the news to her he wanted a divorce. He told her he wanted to be single again … news that was not received well by her. Damn, that’s cold. Also, seems like Logic had the gift of foresight since the couple reportedly had a prenuptial agreement that kept things from getting messy. Respect.
Source: Taylor Hill / Getty Kanye West ‘s album rollout for Graduation is something that should be taught in every music history class. The Chicago native dropped his third studio album on September 11, 2007, in an event that is still talked about pretty often for something that happened eleven years ago. Though he wasn’t exactly a small-time rapper at the time, Kanye was the underdog in his highly publicized competition with 50 Cent , who both released their albums on the same day. 50 didn’t retire afterward as advertised, but Mr. West ended up raking in a whopping 960K in first week sales and beating out Curtis ‘ 690K. This solidified Ye’s spot at the top of the hip-hop game and skyrocketed his whole career–every album that followed for Kanye, to this day, has reached #1 on Billboard charts. While it’s nearly impossible to say one thing that Kanye West is known for or best at, his visuals as a whole are a pretty good start. From fashion, to design, to music videos, Ye is always thinking about how things look just as much as he’s considering how they sound. With that being said, the music videos from Graduation are some of Kanye’s most iconic, most viewed, and most talked about. In honor of the project’s eleven year anniversary, let’s take a walk down memory lane and remember how all 6 of the music videos off of Graduation fare today. 6. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is arguably one of the best songs on the album–and one of the best tracks in Ye’s entire discography–but the same can’t really be said for the video. While it’s a good example of the always beautiful and deliberate display of colors that the rapper is known for throughout his work, it’s a very simple video as far as Kanye visuals go–not a bad thing, just not as memorable as a lot of his visual concepts are. 5. “Homecoming” The video for “Homecoming” was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Video at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. A tribute to his hometown Chicago, the all black-and-white Hype Williams -directed visual is a pretty straight forward look at the people, landmarks, and monuments of the windy city. Though the music video does it’s job paying homage to the Chi, a song with such heavy visualization and allusions could have benefitted from a colorful, illustrative video. 4. “Stronger” Another gift from Hype Williams, “Stronger” gives us a visual initially shot over 9 days in Tokyo, Japan. The guerrilla-style visual is futuristic, which fits the theme of Graduation as a whole, but specifically the sounds of Kanye and Daft Punk on the track. The original storyline for the video features West playing a man in a motorcycle gang, who gets into a bar fight with Japanese rivals. West ended up not liking the video, abandoned the storyline, and edited the visual to obtain “the hottest shots possible,” adding more footage in New York City. 3. “Flashing Lights (feat. Dwele)” In “Flashing Lights,” a Playboy model drives out to the desert, strips down, and pops open the trunk of her car to reveal a bound-and-gagged Kanye West before pounding him with a shovel. This video is some incredible foreshadowing for the genius to come from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ‘s visuals, and it’s most definitely a bright highlight in Ye’s catalogue of impressive music videos. 2. “Good Life (feat T-Pain)” The music video for “Good Life” is something special. It was directed by Jonas & François with animation by So-Me, and is jam packed with colorful writing, creativity, and fun. This visual is the perfect representation of living the good life and evokes the same feeling the song itself does, watching Kanye and T-Pain happily sing along to their smash hit. 1. “Good Morning” Those who hold Graduation– or any Kanye album for that matter–close to their heart are bound to disagree on which visuals come out on top, but there’s no denying how iconic the music video for “Good Morning” is. Starring the famous Dropout Bear, the video was directed by Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami , who also designed the album artwork and the cover art for its singles.

Julie Chen always says to “Expect the unexpected” when it comes to twists on Big Brother. The celebrity edition of the hit series is no different, and we picked up with Shannon Elizabeth’s big win becoming a big question mark. That was because one houseguest had the power to overthrow her as Head of Household if they had the right swag in their golden bag. “Normally, I give my gift bags to my housekeeper because it’s full of crap, but this one I might actually want,” said Brandi with a grin. This woman is not pleasant. The women worried that their grip on power in the house was drawing to a close, so they reeled Ross Matthews into their alliance. For those keeping score at home, a 7-person alliance almost never works. But maybe the women and Ross can prove otherwise. In a surprising turn of events, Mark offered Shannon to be a pawn, and that made things a whole lot easier for her when it came to nominating houseguests for eviction. Metta already wanted to go home, so the ladies realized they could throw him up, and if the opportunity presented itself, they could backdoor James and send him out of the house first. Marisa decided against using the recast twist, and it proved she did not want to get blood on her hands so early in the game. She’s one of the more analytical houseguests. With most of the women asking to use the recast twist, it was revealed during the nominations ceremony that Keshia was the lucky victor. But she shocked everyone when she put James and Chuck on the block. What was the point in her not putting the others up? Maybe it was to try and act like she was not in an alliance with all of the women, but it would have made so much more sense to go for Metta and Mark. Why give Jason the opportunity to play for Veto? He’s already a threat and has clashed with multiple of the females, so why not make sure he goes home? Obviously, the women have all the votes right now, but much can change in a few days in the house. James is going to manipulate his way off the block. Aside from the gameplay, Omarosa and Ross had a tearful chat about the White House. Omarosa confirmed that she would never vote for Trump again and that everyone should be worried about his power. Things took an explosive turn when Keshia asked about the White House, and good old O thought she was being confronted by someone. Omarosa brought up Keshia supporting Bill Cosby during his multitude of sexual assault cases, and well, both women retreated. We are just two episodes in, and the cracks are already starting to form. Who do you think will be evicted first? Hit the comments below. Click below to find out what happens next. View Slideshow: Celebrity Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Going Home?!
Love is in the air at Roloff farms! And in Iceland. And basically wherever the former Roloff family black sheep and his lady love are. Because Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock are engaged ! And now Izzy is telling fans all about how that beautiful proposal in Iceland went down. These details are amazing, and the twists really kept us hooked. In a How He Asked post for The Knot, Isabel Rock describes exactly how Jacob Roloff proposed to her on their Iceland vacation. Get ready to believe in love again. “Jacob and I met in 2011, on the school bus when he was a freshman and I was a sophomore in high school.” The two were practically neighbors in Helvetia. “He had gone to private school his whole life up until high school, so we never met until then. I thought he was so incredibly cute.” There’s no crush like an adolescent crush. “And so, being the naturally outgoing person I am, I’d always sit next to him on the bus and strike up a conversation.” Most of us have been there on at least one bus route or another growing up. “Being the naturally quiet person he is, he would always hesitantly pull out his headphones and say ‘Hi’ shyly.” Most of us have formed plenty of friendships simply by befriending the most attractive classmate or fellow bus-rider. (Or is that just me being shallow?) “As time went on, more small chat on the bus lead to us becoming really good friends. We talked almost every day throughout the years.” Their bus ride friendship turned into one of those more voluntary friendships where they both made an effort to hang out, which happened more and more after Izzy graduated. “Jacob and I started hanging out more often. What was a simple friendship turned into a best friend-ship really quickly. He and I spent almost every single day together that summer.” And yes, there was more to her friendship with Jacob than his cuteness at this point. “He was incredibly easy to talk to, so sweet to me and every time we would hang out, it felt like such an adventure.” And now, of course, they’re in a relationship. “Jacob and I have been together three years now. Easily the best three years of my life and on August 1st, our three year anniversary, I had no idea it was about to get even better. Jacob surprised me with something special: Plane tickets to Iceland!” They had always talked about visiting famously beautiful Iceland. And, in December, they went. “Iceland is an incredible place, and it is super romantic. We explored as much of the country as we could in eight days, and spent a lot of our time in the city of Reykjavik, which is Iceland’s [capitol], and the most amazing city I have seriously ever been to.” She actually mentions that Reykjavik is Iceland’s capitol more than once, which we’d hope that most people know. But it’s nice of her to make that clear in case anyone’s confused. “Something I found interesting about the trip was the butterflies I kept getting at various times throughout. On Christmas Day, though, the butterflies wouldn’t quit and I just knew something amazing was going to happen!” Sometimes, when a couple is really in sync with each other, it’s almost like they can read each other’s thoughts. She says that they parted ways to get each other different gifts, and though she already knew what she wanted to get him, that nagging feeling of excitement wouldn’t go away. So, just in case, in an artistic card, she wrote a message: “Jacob went out to buy my gift and while I waited at the hotel, I wrote in the card, ‘I can’t wait to spend forever with you, fiancé’, because I just had a hunch what was about to happen.” This is actually a classic magician’s trick — keep a card hidden on your person in case it comes up, and then pull it out to give the appearance of certainty when really you were just guessing. This is a very romantic application of that technique, though. “I figured if I ended up being wrong, I would just keep the card in my pocket and he’d never have to know!” As it turned out, they went outside and took in the beautiful scenery for their exchange of gifts. You don’t have to have those “butterflies” to know that Jacob had something more for her than a neat new phone case or whatever. “My heart started beating so fast. He handed me my gift; a tiny black box, inside of it a tiny bag, with a stunning turquoise ring.” Turquoise is gorgeous. “I slowly pulled it out, and to my complete surprise, it was a ring we had seen earlier that day — a handmade Icelandic ring that was my favorite color.” All sorts of rings can be engagement rings, but she could tell immediately that this was not. “But it was definitely not an engagement ring! Tripping over my words I said, ‘Oh.. it’s.. it’s beautiful’, because it was, but I will admit I was completely thrown off!” Sneaky, sneaky Jacob wasn’t done, though. “Within seconds, he started smiling mischievously, obviously catching my confusion. Right then, Jacob spun me around and said, ‘Alright, one more gift…'” It sounds like he gave her the first ring in a surprise box to gauge her reaction. If she’d seemed terrified by the ring and relieved to see it was turquoise, he could have kept the engagement ring hidden away. “And that is the moment he got down on one knee and asked the question I’d been longing to hear, ‘Will you marry me?’ He asked with a ring box he had hand built out of real wood and my dream ring.” She didn’t exactly have to agonize over the decision. “I said ‘YES!’ and leapt into his arms to hug him and we both cried.” Remember that card that she wrote earlier, calling him her fiance? “I snuck the card I’d written him out of my pocket, which he read right there, and then exclaimed, ‘You knew?!’ Which just made us both cry more.” He hid the ring and she hid the card — it sounds like these two are a perfect match! “He told me that he had been wanting to do it the entire trip, but he was simply waiting for the right moment to do it. Jacob had apparently had the ring in his coat pocket for five days as we traveled around Iceland!” Hey, if you’re gonna hide a ring in your pocket, it might as well be winter in a country so cold that it has “ice” in the name.
If you've been anywhere near the internet in the past three months, then you're no doubt aware of the shocking public disgrace that is the Harvey Weinstein sex scandals . At this point, there are so many accusations against Weinstein that it's nearly impossible to keep track of them all, but not one of his victims has forgotten the damage he inflicted. Among Weinstein's many high-profile (alleged) victims is the actress Mira Sorvino, who was (allegedly) blacklisted by the powerful mogul after he attempted to rape her and she fled . Those familiar with the situation say Weinstein effectively derailed Sorvino's once-promising career as revenge for eluding his attempted sexual assault. It remains to be seen if Weinstein will go to prison in connection with the many accusations against him, but it's beginning to look like he'd be better off incarcerated. The former Miramax chief has some mighty powerful enemies on the outside these days, including Mira's famous father, Paul Sorvino. You might know Paul as Paulie in Goodfellas , or from a number of other intimidating badass roles that didn't seem to be much of a stretch for the veteran actor. TMZ recently caught up with Paul and asked him about the Weinstein situation. “He better hope that he goes to jail,” Sorvino told the outlet in no uncertain terms. “If we come across, I think he'll be lying on the floor … somehow.” Hilariously, Sorvino's awesome threats get even more blunt from there. Watch the full clip below to see Sorvino make an early case for himself as Dad of the Year:
Former My 600 Lb Life has alarmed fans in recent months with his naked videos and strange, inexplicable behavior. Now, in the video that you can see below, he's singing “Santa Baby” while wearing nothing but Christmas lights. Is this an issue with substance abuse and mental health, or is it a ploy for attention and money. Or, as some fans fear, is it both ? Usually, social media is a wonderful tool, especially when it comes to keeping up with the lives of low-level celebrities who'd otherwise slip below the radar. Following contestants or reality stars after they leave their shows, however, isn't always a carousel of Instagrammed meals and puppy videos with the occasional plug for somebody's weight loss tea that definitely doesn't work. Sometimes social media access means that you watch a troubled contestant spiral out of control, with no one around to help them. Case in point: former My 600 Lb Life contestant Steven John Assanti. His recent behavior is erratic and worrisome. Steven John Assanti is one of the most controversial figures to have appeared on My 600 Lb Life . In fact, because he continued to (allegedly) abuse drugs, he ended up being released from the program that might have transformed his body — and life. Assanti had seemed to mellow since then. For a while, during 2017, he was making encouraging posts for new contestants who were trying to lose weight. He had also announced that he didn't resent Dr. Now for shaming him for his body in front of a mirror, saying that it was “not fat-shaming” and calling the experience a “wake-up call.” In late 2017, that changed. Assanti has begun to, simply put, behave in a manner that appears to be an attempt at “shock value.” In various videos, some of which have gone viral in the worst ways, he has appeared naked. While we're not body-shaming him, it appears that he's attempting to bait his haters … for reasons that we can only guess. In one video, he sits naked on a toilet, caresses his body, and chants: “sitting on the toilet,” interspersed with humming. In another, in which he's actually wearing clothing, he allegedly admits to “hospital shopping” for pain pills. And, in the video that you can see below, he dances naked while covered in Christmas lights while singing “Santa Baby.” Commenters range from concern to condemnation. “You really need to lay off the drugs, dude.” “Purely out of morbid curiosity, I watched the video…..my heart breaks for you, Steven. It is glaringly obvious you are in desperate need of help. I hope you get it.” “This guy has been given so much help and so many opportunities to get better and lose weight and deal with his mental and drug issues…… but he is an egotistical and self obsessed human who doesn't want the help.” “Yup still waiting for the day he flashes his tiny peepee and gets banned from facebook. We're getting close folks.” “This guy was on the extreme weight loss documentary and he was the biggest asshole I've ever seen. I've never seen someone who has been offered so much help and tossed it away like he did. I have zero sympathy for this guy at all.” Assanti's behavior is alarming. But is he losing his mind? Or is there a method to his apparent madness? Facebook videos can be monetized, just like YouTube videos. In fact, the process works very similarly. The video that you're going to see below has more than 200,000 views. The toilet video? Has more than 5 million. By trolling in this manner, is he just working to rack up ad revenue? Maybe. But we're concerned for his well being, regardless. Assanti's long-awaited Where Are They Now? airs tonight at 8pm on TLC.
Back in November, we learned that Amber Portwood is pregnant with her second child . Amber revealed that she’s expecting a boy , but other than that, she’s been mostly tight-lipped about the pregnancy. Given some of the negative reactions to Amber’s recent social media posts, we suppose we can’t blame her. After all, it was just earlier this week that Amber was slammed for posting an “inappropriate” photo of her daughter. There was nothing provocative about the pic, but the girl was apparently positioned too close to Amber’s boyfriend for some fans’ liking. It’s a jungle out there, and Portwood’s plight isn’t made any easier by the fact that her new dude, Andrew Glennon, has a seriously sketchy past . The point is, we can see why Amber isn’t big on sharing the details of her personal life these days. Unfortunately for her, the life of a reality star doesn’t allow for much in the way of privacy. Amber’s every social media interaction is scrutinized by millions of fans, and it looks as though Teen Mom: OG obsessives have unearthed some information that Amber may have preferred to keep private. The intel comes courtesy of a Twitter conversation between Amber and her brother Shawn. Shawn posted an obscured photo of Amber’s homemade Christmas present without revealing what it was. Along with the image, he posted this message: “I finally completed your gift. However, I’m not going to show it to you so you’ll see it tomorrow. I will send you this though.” “Awe Bubby I can’t wait!! I’m sure little James will love it!” Portwood replied. Yes, it seems Amber and Andrew will be naming their baby James. The moniker was reportedly selected due to the fact that it’s also Glennon’s middle name. Amber has yet to delete the tweet, but we can’t imagine she intended to make the reveal in such a low-key fashion. Whatever the case, the name is out there now, and fans have been vocal in their praise for Amber’s classic selection. Watch Teen Mom: OG online to relive the many, many times that Ms. Portwood did not make the right decision. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: Mom-Shamed After “Ditching” Daughter!
