Jimmy Fallon is one of the few United States citizens that has never once been to an Olive Garden. Being that the Italian fare restaurant is Post Malone’s personal favorite , he made sure to take the talk show host on his first visit where everyone is “family” and the breadsticks are endless.

As you know, the two admitted industry witches went at it on social media the other day, when Azealia insulted Lana’s looks and Lana told Azealia she could catch hands anytime she’s ready. Well, it looks like Azealia is skipping straight past the fighting and pulling a Winifred Sanderson on the matter instead. When a supportive fan tweeted to Azealia not to let Lana “ruin all that she’s worked for,” Azealia responded with this witchcrafty BS: Honestly, you know The Big Bad Witch is smarter than that. When her house mysteriously goes up in flames while she is asleep inside…I want to see as many #Azealiavoodoo hashtags as possible. Mind you…Azealia was already threatening to call her lawyers when Lana simply tweeted that she could feel free to pull up and get her azz beat. But here she is two days later, making murderous threats of her own. Honestly, if Azealia’s cauldron of comeuppance was really that powerful, half the industry’s houses would have been up in flames by now with how often she gets into it with people. We’re guessing Lana will survive this little dustup…but she might want to cast her own little protection spell in the meantime. Sergi Alexander/Getty Images/Joseph Okpako/Getty Images
Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images Twitter Gives An Unfiltered Reaction Usher is making a surprise comeback with a new album on the horizon. The R&B singer will drop his ninth studio album called A at midnight on Friday. He revealed the news on social media and by the looks of the trailer, it’s inspired by his hometown of Atlanta. Usher finds himself at the roller skating rink, the strip club and flying private jets in the short clip. The project is produced by Atlanta’s very own Zaytoven so the trap beats are sure to be bountiful. Usher revealed the track listing and cover art for the album on Instagram, and he also posted previews for each song. This will be Usher’s first album since Hard II Love , which dropped in 2016 and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 . Twitter already seemed to be reacting to his latest album with mixed expectations. Usher has been doing to much to try and be “hip” his last few albums.

Video spread everywhere months ago of Fab threatening Emily B., her father, and brother. The rapper tried to make it go away several times, as we reported, by trying to sort out a plea deal. Ultimately the rapper rejected the state’s deal. This afternoon, TMZ is reporting he was indicted on FOUR felony charges and could serve up 5 YEARS on each charge if found guilty. That’s 20 years total…d-d-d-d-damn!!! Reportedly, a grand jury in New Jersey indicted the rapper last week on 1 count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury, 2 counts of threatening to kill and 1 count of possession of a weapon (a pair of scissors). Earlier today we reported that Emily B. and Fab are rumored to have gotten hitched, could this all be fro a reason??? According to to something call the “marital communications privilege”, neither spouse can be compelled to testify as to private, confidential communications between them in either criminal or civil proceedings. So this might work in Fab’s favor. But there’s also video! Ouch! So far Fab nor his team have addressed his new charges. He has, however, referenced life giving him “lemons” in a recent post… This is a lot for Fab and Emil B. to digest right now surely. What do YOU think the outcome of all of this will be?

Image via Mark Wilson/Getty Images/Thaddaeus McAdams/FilmMagic EPA Chief Andrew Wheeler “Likes” Racist Obama Meme The audacity of hell f**k naw! A new report in the Huffington Post details the racist social media behavior of the acting EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler. One of those behaviors was “liking” a Facebook meme of President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama staring at a banana. Harkening back to the monkey/ape/gorilla epithet that has been hurled at Black folks for hundred of years. Like most cowardly bigots, Wheeler played dumb when he was confronted and questioned about these “likes”. He replied to HuffPo via email saying: “Over the years, I have been a prolific social media user and liked and inadvertently liked countless social media posts,” Wheeler said. “Specifically, I do not remember the post depicting President Obama and the First Lady. As for some of the other posts, I agreed with the content and was unaware of the sources.” Wheeler’s other “likes” come in the form of right-wing conspiracy theories, conservative extremist rhetoric and other distasteful social media hot takes. F**k this guy.
Terrence J Flees Hit And Run Accident With Mystery Woman Terrence J is lucky to be alive and assumedly unharmed this evening, as his car was completely totaled with him and a female companion inside. According to TMZ , Terrence’s black McLaren plowed over a parking meter then slammed into a tree in Studio City, CA at around 12:30 am on Tuesday. Terrence was in the passenger’s seat, and authorities allege that his female companion, who was driving at the time, lost control for an unknown reason. Unfortunately, police didn’t get a chance to ask Terrence or his lady friend any questions about the incident or check on their wellbeing. Witnesses claim that both the car’s passengers hopped out and dipped off as soon as the car struck the tree. Folks on the scene naturally assumed that the woman behind the wheel was Terrence’s longtime girlfriend Jasmine Sanders. However, Jasmine’s reps were QUICK to solidify that that was definitely not the case in a statement to People : “On behalf of our client, Jasmine Sanders, I would like to clarify that Ms. Sanders was not in the vehicle at the time of this morning’s accident and was in no way involved.” Sooo…who was this woman that Terrence was letting push his $200,000 car all around Hollywood in the middle of the night? And what made them run off so fast rather than wait for the necessary help? Hmm… Prince Williams/WireImage/Kris Connor/Getty Images for McDonald’s
Source: CBS/Getty Images Tina Turner’s Upcoming Memoir My Love Story Details Ike Turner’s Sexually Abusive Behavior These days, when you hear “fighting like Ike and Tina” the phrase doesn’t speak to much more than a lovers’ quarrel. Thanks to the 1993 film What’s Love Got To Do With It , which depicted the famous couple’s toxic relationship, it’s easy to forget that Tina Turner is a survivor who lived through years and years of unbelievable abuse —in real life. It was serious and now in her upcoming memoir My Love Story , excerpted by the Daily Mail , she admits the abuse she endured was even worse than fans ever knew. Too “embarrassed” to admit how bad things were with her late ex-husband Ike Turner at the time, the icon now says she was also sexually abused during their relationship. Detailing how their marriage began , she wrote in her memoir: “When Ike Turner proposed, there was nothing romantic about it. ‘You want to marry me?’ he said. Gruff, terse, no niceties. Marriage to me, he thought, was a good manoeuvre. It would help him out of a tricky situation with one of his former wives, who wanted to extract some money from him. Who knows which wife it was. By 1962, Ike had been married so many times, I’d lost track — and all those wives were in addition to the countless girlfriends who came and went with dizzying speed.” They’d gone to Mexico to marry “because they weren’t fussy about little things like having a marriage license.” After, Ike took Tina to a brothel: “You see, so long as Ike was in down-and-dirty Tijuana, he wanted to have fun, his kind of fun. So he took me to a whorehouse. On my wedding night. I’ve never, ever, told anyone this story before. I was too embarrassed. What kind of bridegroom takes his brand-new wife to a live pornographic sex show, right after their marriage ceremony? There I sat, in this filthy place, watching Ike out of the corner of my eye, wondering: ‘Does he really like this? How could he?’ It was all so ugly. The male performer was unattractive and seemingly impotent, and the girl — well, let’s just say that what was on display was more gynaecological than erotic. I was miserable, on the verge of tears, but there was no escape. We couldn’t leave until Ike was ready, and he was having a fine old time. The experience was so disturbing that I just scratched it out. By the time we got back to Los Angeles, I’d created a completely different scenario in my head — a romantic elopement. The following day, I was bragging to people: ‘Guess what? Oh, Ike took me to Tijuana. We got married yesterday!’” Tina also detailed her 1968 suicide attempt, which she says happened on a day she felt insulted and diminished as a human being. “Why did I snap on an ordinary day in 1968? For starters, there were three women at the house at the time, and Ike was having sex with all of them. Three of us were named Ann — which meant he only had to remember one name. One of the Anns, Ann Thomas, was pregnant with his child — another insult to me. Everything was diminishing — my status, my confidence, my world. One night, just before a gig, I simply couldn’t take any more and swallowed 50 sleeping pills. I knew they’d take time to work, so I calculated that I’d get through the opening number — which meant Ike would still get paid for the booking. I was so well trained that even my suicide had to be convenient for him. The pills, however, kicked in just as I started to put on my make-up, and I ended up being rushed to hospital. As the doctors pumped my stomach, I was fading fast. That’s when Ike moved closer and started speaking to me, probably doing his best imitation of a concerned husband. In my subconscious, I heard the voice of my tormentor, cursing me softly.” Elsewhere in her memoir, she says sex with her husband was “a kind of rape.” “In the early Seventies, he started doing cocaine — because someone had told him it would give him more stamina for sex. As if Ike Turner needed to spend another minute on his love life! He was well-endowed, and having sex was practically his full-time job. For me, though, sex with Ike had become an expression of hostility — a kind of rape — especially when it began or ended with a beating. What had been ugly and hateful between us before became worse with every snort of cocaine. He threw hot coffee in my face, giving me third-degree burns. He used my nose as a punching bag so many times that I could taste blood running down my throat when I sang. He broke my jaw. And I couldn’t remember what it was like not to have a black eye. The people closest to us saw what was happening, but they couldn’t stop him: any attempt to help me would make him more violent.” My Love Story is due October 15. Will you be purchasing a copy?
