Source: Gregg DeGuire/WireImage/Caroline McCredie/Getty Images for Fenty Beaut / Getty Rihanna’s Father Responds To News That She Is Suing Him Yesterday we reported that Rihanna is suing her father Ronald Fenty for exploiting the Fenty name to promote his businesses. Today, the folks at OK! spoke to Ronald and he has responded to the news that his daughter wants ALL the litigious smoke. “She is? Suing me? Why would she sue me? It’s my name!” he exclaimed. “She’s never going to sue me — I’ll have to fight it!” It is reported that Ronald and a partner have been using the name to act on Robyn’s behalf without every having permission to do so. “Thing is she doesn’t have the time to deal with all this stuff herself, so it is someone else that will be doing it,” he continued. ”She’s working hard on her album at the moment. I don’t think she’d sue me.” He goes on to say: “This is all news to me. They sent something to Fenty Entertainment, it was a letter from Roc Nation I think, but my lawyer said it was OK. They said they preferred me not to use the name, but they didn’t say I couldn’t.” Sounds like those lawyers were trying to use gentle language with Ronald as a warning out of respect for his role as Rihanna’s father, but, uh…Roc nation ain’t going for anything that will tarnish Rih’s shine. Including daddy dearest.
Source: Jerod Harris/Getty Images / Getty Vince Staples Talks Lifelong Sobriety While the average rapper is out here xan’ed up and leaned out… Vince Staples is among the rare young artists who is completely passing on the liquor and drugs. The Compton rapper spoke about his sobriety in a new GQ article about drug-free musicians, and revealed that he’s been sober his entire life. That’s right…he’s never popped a pill, hit a blunt, sipped on lean or even had a single drop to drink. “It’s not something that I honestly ever think about. I just never wanted to. I’m not the kind of person that will do something that I don’t want to do.” While it seems like something inconsequential to him — he’s just plain not interested in alcohol or drugs — he gets why it’s some grand shocking revelation to most people that take one look at him as a young Black rapper from Compton and make assumptions: “They don’t expect this from a young black musician my age from where I come from. Like, how could you end up being in the ghetto, went through this, went through that, and not experienced drugs, not experienced alcohol?” However, he admits that the very same things about him that would make people assume he’d partake in recreational drug use are the exact reasons he has no interest: “When you’re surrounded with death and dismay and poverty and all these things that happen every day, I didn’t have time to worry about using or partaking in certain things. People where I come from don’t use drugs in a recreational sense. We’re not at a party, or at the rock show, or at the rap show, doing lines in the bathroom. Where I come from, life comes day after day after day, and people use these things to cope.” He says the immediate threats of death and violence in his life superseded any interest he could have ever had in spending the day chasing a high. “When you have to think about your next 15 minutes—you have to think about the walk to the store, you have to think about how you’re getting to school, you have to think about the bus ride home, you have to think about how you’re going to sneak a gun into the football game—the last thing I was thinking about was getting high.” Good for him for staying true to his inclinations and not falling into the industry BS of drug consumption.

Source: Prince Williams/WireImage/JB Lacroix/WireImage/Hollywood To You/Star M / Getty Alexis Skyy Spotted Spending Quality Time With Rob Kardashian Welp, that didn’t take long. As you recall, Alexis Skyy and Blac Chyna got into an epic big booty bird battle at an LA house party over the weekend. Drinks were tossed, threats were hurled, IG tirades ensued. But now, while Chyna chooses to act as if nothing ever occurred…instead of staying mad, Alexis is finding her own way to get even. Shortly after the scuffle, Rob trolled by posting a photo of Alexis from the fight night in question, labeling her his WCW and saying that he’s been waiting for her for so long… It seems that Rob completely forgot what happened the last time he got into a spite relationship with an ampled-azzed IG-popular industry ex/babymama… Both Alexis and Rob showcased that they were spending a night in at the house while Alexis made “bae” some dinner. You can see that HERE , HERE , and HERE . Now, this is one of those “chicken and egg” situations — it’s not clear if these two got into a bird battle BECAUSE Alexis has been smashing Rob on the sly…or if Alexis is bussin’ it open for Blac Chyna’s babydaddy BECAUSE they got into it over the weekend. Welp, Rob wanted it to be clear that this ain’t what we think it is…despite how hard they both obviously worked to make it look that way. Me and Alexis known each other for 5 years so stop with that https://t.co/511P3Os4Iv — ROBERT KARDASHIAN (@robkardashian) January 15, 2019 Either way, ALL MESS. Your thoughts on this parade of petty?

Source: Pool / Getty Trump Treats Clemson Football Team To Fast Food Dinner Donald Trump welcomed the Clemson Tigers to the White House to celebrate their triumphant win over Alabama . But without a paid chef on staff, he had to get a little…creative? Trump is apparently very proud of the fact that he paid all of $37.50 out of pocket to feed these hardworking students and their team of coaches low nutritional value fast food, featuring even lower-grade meat that hasn’t even been approved by the FDA since the government shut down. As he told CNN , he figures it would be their favorite anyway… “Because of the shutdown, you know we have the great Clemson team with us, the national champions. So we went out and we ordered American fast food, paid for by me. Lots of hamburgers, lots of pizza. We have some very large people that like eating. So I think we’re going to have a little fun.” Meanwhile, deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley gave the real on why Trump pulled together this last-minute bs for the team: “Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed — so the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods.” How would you feel if you got invited to be honored with a dinner at the White House and there was a spread of cold chicken nuggets and soggy Big Macs on the table?

Source: James Devaney / Getty Pete Davidson Jokes About Size Of His Manhood Back when Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande were still a thing, the “God Is A Woman” singer had no problem letting everyone know that her man was well-endowed. Ariana, who was engaged to Pete before everything took a sudden turn for the worst , was doing a Q&A on Twitter when a fan asked about Pete’s length. Hilariously enough, the fan was talking about the song Ariana dedicated to Pete on her album Sweetene r —still she responded in a since-deleted tweeted, “Like 10 inches?…. oh fu**…. i mean… like a lil over a minute.” After they broke things off, Ariana also seemed to reference Pete’s alleged mandingo meat in the burn book she wrote in for her Mean Girls -inspired “thank u, next” video. See that here . In retrospect, the comedian isn’t so happy that his ex led women to believe he’s got a big ol’ baby arm. According to People , he spoke about her comments while doing a standup set over the weekend: “I don’t like that she talked all that sh** for my [manhood]. Everything is huge to her,” he joked. “Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge p*nis? So that every girl who sees my d— for the rest of my life is disappointed.” “I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world,” he reportedly added. Self-deprecating comedy seems to be Pete’s shtick, so in this case we can probably trust Ariana’s word. Plus, he seems to have some pretty decent-sized feet…what do you think?
Source: Joe Raedle/Getty Images / Getty Hartsifield-Jackson Wait Times Reach Over An Hour The world’s busiest airport is known for having a long wait for security, but the partial Government shutdown is apparently taking things to a new level. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that TSA security lines have snaked all the way to the baggage claim at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport as six checkpoints are currently shut down. Wait times reached as long as an hour and a half as the shutdown continues and as TSA officers continue working without pay. To be clear these people haven’t been paid since December 22 and several of them have called in “sick.” Travelers are usually advised to arrive at the airport around two hours before their flight, and while several of them did so, they still missed flights because of long lines. CNN reporter Omar Jiminez posted a video from inside the airport showing just how longs security lines really are. So I’m at @ATLairport and this may be the longest security line I have ever seen. Even growing up here, and even for a Monday morning. One passenger told me he’d been waiting over an hour and still had about 30 minutes to go. pic.twitter.com/UL7EghujQI — Omar Jimenez (@OmarJimenezCNN) January 14, 2019 GOODNESS GRACIOUS! What do YOU think about the ridiuclously long lines at Hartsfield-Jackson???

Source: SOPA Images / Getty Netflix Sued Over Using The Phrase “Choose Your Own Adventure” Even though Black Mirror: Bandersnatch has been out for a couple weeks now, the episode is continuing to give people one of the most frightening TV watching experiences ever. But unfortunately for the streaming service, Netflix is being sued for using the phrase “choose your own adventure” to advertise the event. Children’s book publisher Chooseco, LLC–which apparently owns the trademark to “Choose Your Own Adventure”– is filing a lawsuit against the streaming giant for Bandersnatch . As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter , Chooseco has been using the trademark since the 1980s and has since sold more than 265 million copies of its Choose Your Own Adventure series. On top of that, according to the complaint filed in Vermont federal court, 20th Century Fox currently holds the rights to develop an interactive series based on the popular franchise. Netflix has reportedly been pursuing the license since 2016, but they never obtained it. “Chooseco and Netflix engaged in extensive negotiations that were ongoing for a number of years, but Netflix did not receive a license,” the complaint states. “On at least one occasion before the release of Bandersnatch , Chooseco sent a written cease and desist request to Netflix asking Netflix to stop using the CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE mark in connection with its marketing efforts for another television program.” Chooseco is claiming that Netflix has benefited by using its brand, and also confused viewers with its association. The company also says it’s suffered harm to its reputation for being connected to the grim series.
