Baecation Gone Bad: Blac Chyna And Her Filthy Flavor Of The Week Have Physical Fallout And Hawaii 5-0 Respond!

Source: Bauer-Griffin / Splash News Blac Chyna’s New Romance Turns Violent Amidst Rob Kardashians Concerns About Dream Just when you thought Blac Chyna news couldn’t get any messier, TMZ is reporting that the reality star’s Hawaiian vacation with new bae Kid Buu turned violent. According to TMZ reports: We’re told at around 5 AM, Chyna and Kid Buu were in their hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Honolulu when they got in a heated argument. We’re told Chyna accused Kid Buu of cheating, and just before 7 AM it turned violent. We’re told Chyna scratched Kid Buu, and our sources say he then slammed her against the wall several times and choked her. Kid Buu left the hotel and posted in Spanish … translation — “Don’t f**k with me, I’m a grown man.” He followed it up with a homophobic slur. SMH… How do you go to the Ritz-Carlton in HAWAII and still act a damn fool? PEOPLE confirmed that officers and paramedics did respond to the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Monday morning after police were called following a fight between Chyna, 30, and artist Kid Buu in a hotel suite. “Someone from their group called 911. Hotel security escorted police officers and paramedics to a suite, where Blac Chyna was with a group of people,” the source says. “It was more of a ‘he said, she said’ situation. They both had complaints to the police, but in the end no one was arrested or taken to the hospital,” the source shares. According to the source, Chyna and Kid Buu, 30, “were both intoxicated.” “Again, this is not a typical incident at the hotel,” says the source. “In fact, this behavior is 100% unacceptable.” The Honolulu Police Department confirmed that an incident is currently under investigation. “Shortly before 9 a.m. today, a female visitor staying in Waikiki reported being assaulted by a male acquaintance. The victim reported that she and the suspect had been involved in an argument several hours earlier, and the argument had escalated to a physical confrontation,” a media liaison officer said in a statement to PEOPLE. “The male left the area after the confrontation and has not been located.” “This incident has been classified as abuse of a household member,” the statement continued. “The investigation is continuing, and no further information is being released at this time.” In a statement to PEOPLE, the Ritz-Carlton Residences’ director of public relations said, “As a matter of privacy, we are unable to comment.” Just mess on top of mess. Well thankfully no one had to go to the hospital but this is really crazy. We know mommies need love too but Chyna has been linked to a whole lot of “interesting characters” in the time since she and Rob split. Speaking of which, Rob wasn’t too happy about Chyna jetting off to Honolulu during time that she was supposed to have Dream in her custody. TMZ reports : Sources tell us Rob was preparing to drop Dream off Saturday for her scheduled time with Mom but quickly realized Chyna was off the radar … as he couldn’t get a hold of her or her nanny. Remember, nannies handle their baby exchanges these days because Rob and Chyna don’t get along. We’re told Rob reached out to the nanny, Chyna’s team and even Chyna herself through a texting app they only use for emergencies. Bupkis. Because Chyna and Kid Buu were posting on social media, her whereabouts weren’t a mystery for long. TMZ sources say Rob was not given any type of warning Chyna would be unavailable to care for Dream, and he was pissed … not because he had to care for their kid longer, but because she was missing crucial Mommy time. There’s more though — in addition to the custody complaints AND the volatile relationship issues Chyna and her friends got serious side-eyes from fellow vacation-goers at the Ritz: According to PEOPLE: “Blac Chyna spent Sunday with a group of friends. They hung out by the pool, partied and were loud. They are not the typical hotel guests,” the source said. “They were definitely being inappropriate in several ways. The girls were showing nipples, they were twerking and just being obnoxious. Hotel management had complaints, because there were families with kids that didn’t like the way they behaved,” said the source. “You would never think Chyna is a mom by the way she behaved.” Sighs… We don’t agree with the mommy shaming BUT Chyna has got to get it together. This is too much mess for one weekend. Hit the flip for Chyna and Buu’s social posts from the weekend

Blac Chyna Goes MIA, Allegedly Ditches Daughter for Boyfriend

It is totally back on between Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian. No, not their romance, thank goodness. But the rivalry between these exes has seemingly returned, as strong and as bitter and as personal as ever. Take what happened on Saturday, for instance. According to TMZ, Rob was preparing to drop his two-year old daughter, Dream, back home with her mother, as previously agreed upon between Kardashian and Chyna. However, when the time came to make this exchange, Chyna was nowhere to be found. A source tells the celebrity gossip site that Rob reached out to Chyna, to her nanny, to members of her team… but he couldn’t track down his former fiancee anywhere. As a result, Rob just kept Dream for himself for a little while longer — which he was happy to do as a father. But the guy was pissed over Chyna’s disappearing act. And he allegedly grew even angrier when it became apparent that Chyna has jetted off to Hawaii to hang out with Kid Buu, some very random and very tattooed rapper who has been seeing Chyna romantically of late. How do we know this for certain? Because Kid Buu posted a number of videos of the two dancing and acting all weird together during this tropical vacation. Rob, the story goes, was never told Chyna was heading out of town. This report comes about a week after Child Protective Services was called to Chyna’s home. As we detailed several days ago, someone called 911 and then called this organization because this someone believed Chyna was drunk and neglecting her daughter . When authorities arrived, they found a perfectly calm and safe setting for little Dream, prompting many to think Chyna had been set up. By whom? By Rob, she apparently thinks. “Chyna has a full-time nanny that lives at her house permanently,” a source told Radar Online, impyling that Dream was never and would never be abandoned because this nanny would be responsible for her even when her mom does take off for Hawaii. Chyna and Rob share equal custody of their toddler and the former has never once shirked this responsibility, according to this insider. Any implication to the contrary has been stirred up by Kardashian. “He is waging a bad mother campaign against her,” reports Radar. It has been claimed in the past that Rob wants primary custody of Dream — and the only real way to accomplish this goal would be for a court to think Chyna was neglecting or harming the child. “She thinks Rob saw her on Instagram and is just mad. Moms are allowed to go on vacation,” the Radar source says of why Rob has gone public with the insinuation that Chyna ditched her daughter. Concludes this Kardashian critic: “This is just another smear tactic by Rob. It’s obvious what he is doing. “This is just Rob trying to trash her in public.” That may very well be the case, but let’s be honest: It’s working, isn’t it?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Bedlam in Tokyo

The housewives were in Tokyo, and if you thought they were going to get along swimmingly, you were sadly mistaken.  Eva Marcille is still a relatively new addition to the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she’s been very reserved with her arguments.  On Sunday night’s episode, however, Eva let rip on Marlo Hampton after realizing there was only one way to deal with her: With a tense war of words.  The episode picked up in the immediate aftermath of last week’s big blowout between Nene Leakes and Tanya Sam.  Eva wasted no time in telling the ladies they were going to the red light district for some karaoke fun.  Kandi wondered whether she would be able to don her sneaker wedges for the evening, and Eva was not impressed.  “I know you ain’t talking, Eva! Your Birkenstock-wearing ass,” Marlo yelled, prompting Eva to go on the offensive.  “Girl, you got me all the way twisted. I’m on my motherf–king runway right now. Stop it,” the former model said, parading her $1,200 flats in front of Marlo’s face.  “Now you just done got the plug on it. Now, chill out,” Marlo said under her breath.  “Ain’t nobody got no plug!” Eva fired back. “She been doing this. I went from on the runway to off the runway every minute of 5’7″. Been doing it since 18, and I’m every minute of 33.” She then shouted to Marlo that she’d “tried to sit on [her] yoga mat” but that she had finally been pushed too far. “Put your wig down and leave me alone!” Eva shouted. Marlo stood up to face her in a fight.  Marlo then opted to complain that everything Eva wore on the runway was in her closet, and that’s when Eva decided it was time to say about her age.  “Because you’re older than me, Marlo!” Marlo then said that Eva could not fit in any of her runway clothes because she’s gained weight.  “And you fit it in when? Never! January of never!” Eva fired back, adding: “The way your ass is set up, you could never model… You wanna work for plus size? Stop. I don’t know where you’re getting these plus-size fashions from.” “Your mother,” Marlo said as the housewives acted like a mic had just been dropped.  “Don’t do that,” Eva said as she walked over to Marlo. “Marlo, I am so sincere. Don’t do that.” As the women continued to bicker, everyone else just watched with popcorn.  “Go take your cigarette break!” Marlo shouted after Eva trashed her makeup. “You can’t even breastfeed ’cause you too busy smoking a cigarette. Breastfeed. Breastfeed. Breastfeed. Can you breastfeed?” “Have a child!” Eva hurled. “You so bitter, imma pray for you.” She continued, “What we gon’ do is leave my fashions alone,” but Marlo said back, “What you gon’ do is respect your elders! You a child!” “I have two kids and a husband. What do you have?” Eva asked. “You got two kids by two different men!” Marlo muttered. “And you have what? You have nothing. You have what’s on your wrist and that ill-fitting wig you wearing. That’s about what we got, so sit it back,” Eva said at the end of the hour. What are your thoughts on all the latest action?

Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino Land New Reality Dating Show on MTV

The stars of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation are older and (marginally) wiser than they once were. But does that make them marriage material? Pauly D and Vinny think so — and so does MTV. They’re getting their own dating show. Are you ready for  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny ? On Friday, MTV came out with a major announcement. Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio and Vinny Guadagnino are set to start on their very own dating show. 20 women will compete for the love of these two men, and it sounds … bonkers. It also sounds a little like The Bachelor , but with two leading men who don’t quite fit the usual mold for that role. Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny  is expected to premiere on MTV later this year. Whether you’re a huge Jersey Shore fan, a sucker for dating shows, or love the absurdity of reality television, this show is for you. Both of the excited new stars took to Instagram to celebrate the breaking news. “Excited to announce Me and my boyfriend @djpaulyd are getting our own crazy reality dating competition show!” Vinny gushed. Vinny predicted: “This is gonna be good …” For his part, Pauly D also shared the story and celebrated. “Oh Yeahhhhh,” he wrote excitedly on Instagram. “Dating Show Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!” That is the most Jersey Shore text-based celebration that we can imagine. And that, of course, is exactly what prospective viewers will be hoping to see. On Twitter, Pauly D had a little more to say. “A crazy dating competition show,” Pauly tweets. He then asks, rhetorically: “What could go wrong?” Worst case scenario for a show like this is usually people entering a relationship that slowly crumbles as time goes on. There’s nothing inherently wrong with reality television, but couples need to communicate authentically while getting to know each other. Will Pauly and Vinny’s lady loves get to know the real men on camera? No. They’ll meet the famous personas. Getting to know someone takes time. The “best case” scenario for  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny  is … complicated. Because it isn’t necessarily that both dudes find women with whom to gym, tan, laundry for the rest of their lives. This isn’t The Bachelor where they can find new dudes for a second season. Vinny and Pauly’s names are right there in the show’s title. But then, the purpose of the show isn’t really to play matchmaker — it’s entertainment. The best ending for season 1 is renewal for season 2, right? That said, let’s take a look at that title a second time. The show is called  Double Shot at Love With DJ Pauly D & Vinny. Though this show is emphatically about women competing to get with the stars, it doesn’t have to always be that. Over time, Vinny and Pauly could transition into new roles. They could act as hosts and, hilariously, as relationship counselors for other contestants. The series could transition from parallels to The Bachelor to parallels to Bachelor in Paradise . Notably, just last summer, Vinny and Pauly D addressed hte idea of the two of them one day being co-bachelors. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Pauly exclaimed “I’m down!” “That would be so dope,” he gushed. “I’d be down too,” Vinny agreed. “You never know. Make it happen!.” We wouldn’t care to speculate as to whether the idea for this series came before, or after they fielded that question.

DMX: Released From Prison After One Year Behind Bars!

Stop, drop, pick up your belongings and show these papers to the officer at the front gate. Yes folks, it’s been almost one full year since DMX reported to prison to begin serving time on tax evasion charges. (You may recall that he memorably played one of his songs for the sentencing judge before being sent upstate.) And today, the canine rapper is once again a free man. Yes, X was released from prison today after serving 10 months of a one year sentence. (He was denied bail prior to his sentence, and thus, spent most of the past year behind bars.) The rapper was convicted of failing to pay taxes on $2.3 million in earnings. It may seem foolish to try and bilk Uncle Sam when you’ve been raking in seven figures for decades, but it’s important to remember that DMX has 15 kids to support . And in this case, the time inside may have been a blessing in disguise. DMX suffered an overdose that nearly claimed his life in 2016. The rapper says despite the obvious risk to his health, he continued using in the wake of his brush with death. He told the judge in his case that his decision to commit tax fraud was the result of his substance abuse. “I was in a cloud. I was in a cloud. I wasn’t thinking straight,” an emotional X (real name Earl Simmons) said in court. So what does the 48 father of 15 (?!?!?!) plan to do now that he’s a free man? Well, it seems Simmons’ first order of business is court-ordered outpatient addiction counseling. Beyond that, he says he’d like to release another album and take a second shot at reality TV stardom. Specifically, he says he wants to make a second appearance on Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life . X famously stormed off set and told the life coach to “shut the f-ck” up during his first appearance on the show. But these days, Simmons says he’s a changed man and would like the opportunity to prove he’s open to taking advice. Hey, we’re all about comeback stories. And when it comes to second chance, X, we’re gon give it to ya.

Kim Porter: Cause of Death Revealed

Just over two months since her shocking death, we now know why Kim Porter passed away . The model, actress and ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs died of lobar pneumonia, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner announced on Friday. The manner of death has been certified as natural. Porter shared three children with the music mogual and remained a very close part of his life, long after the pair split up as a couple. Porter had only just wished Diddy as happy birthday days before she suddenly died. For those wondering, meanwhile… “Lobar pneumonia (pneumonia) is an infection of the lung caused by bacteria,” the official report reads, explaining further: “Immune cells invade the air spaces (where oxygen is taken in), and this is accompanied with necrosis (death of cells). Pneumonia decreases the lungs ability to take in oxygen, and over time it can cause sudden death.” According to this same report, Porter went to the doctor days before she died with “cold/flu-like symptoms.” A nurse also visited her home and gave her “saline solution with vitamins.” An autopsy was completed on Porter a day after she was found dead in her home on November 15. However, her death certificate previously stated her cause of death as “deferred” and the manner of death as “pending investigation.” The toxicology report says there were no narcotic drugs or alcohol in her system. She was 47 years old. Porter was buried in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia on November 24. In audio made public from Diddy’s moving eulogy , the rapper opened up about his relationship with Porter and vowed to keep her memory alive forever. “I just want to say to my kids, Justin, Christian, D’Lila, Jessie, Chance and the other man in the house, Quincy: Your mother instilled in me this, and I pledge in front of everybody right now that I will always be there for you,” he said, adding: I will always take care of you. Diddy and Porter broke up for good way back in 2007. But they remained on such close terms over the years that they never even agreed to a formal custody arrangement. They were vital parts of each other’s lives up until the day Kim died. Quipped Diddy in his eulogy: “To the girls especially, we about to enter some different type of times. I want you to be able to talk to me about everything, and I mean everything, and I mean everything.” He continued later on: “Kim, we gonna miss you so much. But I ain’t gonna miss you too much because I’m not gonna let your voice inside of me stop talking. “I know you like to talk to me a lot once you get on those rants, and I just want you to know I’m gonna be listening.” And he concluded: “As time went on, our relationship took so many different changes, from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being lovers to being best friends to being just straight-up homies, like somebody that you know you can count on. “We just love y’all, we appreciate y’all, appreciate the family. To all the words that I’m forgetting, to anything I’m forgetting to say, we love you, Kim.”

Kevin Barnett: Cause of Death Revealed

Earlier this week, the comedy world was stunned by the passing of Kevin Barnett . The highly-respected comic and co-creator of the Fox series Rel was just 32 at the time of his death. Details of Barnett’s final hours remain scarce, but it’s now been confirmed pancreatitis was the comedian’s cause of death. Barnett was vacationing in Mexico at the time of his passing. “We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen, Kevin Barnett, in Tijuana on Jan. 22,” a U.S. Department of State official told E! News in a statement issued on Thursday. “We offer our sincerest condolences to his family on their loss, and we stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment. “The corresponding autopsy was carried out, which determined that the cause of death was: Non Traumatic Hemorrhage, caused by pancreatitis,” the statement reads. “At the moment his body is still in facilities of the Forensic Medical Service of Tijuana, waiting to be delivered to his family members who are performing the legal proceedings.” Barnett’s final social media post indicated that he was in Mexico, but did not suggest that he was aware of any issues with his health. “In mexico. Bought myself a sweater,” he captioned the post. “Been accused of appropriation several times. In my head I just gave a lady some money so I ain’t cold. Either way. Swag heavy. Mixtape comin.” On social media, Barnett’s friends and fellow comics have been paying heartfelt tribute to the young up-and-comer. “i am so sad,” tweeted Brooklyn 99 star Chelsea Peretti. “Kevin Barnett was an incredible comedian and writer, contributing to Broad City, the stand-up community and beyond,” Comedy Central tweeted Tuesday. “He’ll be greatly missed.” In addition to his work on Rel, Barnett contributed to numerous television shows and movies, including  Broad City, The Carmichael Show and The Heartbreak Kid. A celebration of Barnett’s life hosted by several of his fellow comedians will be held at The Bell House in Brooklyn this evening.
