Celebrity Monitor / Splash News Selena Gomez And The Weeknd Have Split Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have called it quits, according to US Weekly reports. The timing is about as blatant as it can get considering Selena was spotted with ex-bae Justin Bieber SEVERAL times this weekend. Some outlets report that the Jelena reunion is very much to blame, because Selena is still in love with the Biebs: “She is done with him and is not listening to anyone,” a source told Radar exclusively , adding that her recent reunion with ex Justin Bieber played a role in her breakup from the Can’t Feel My Face singer. “She is in love with Justin and always will be. “There is nothing anyone can do or say to change that, ever.” Welp! She does have that “The Heart Wants What It Wants” song… Previously The Weeknd was said to be unbothered about Selena becoming friends with Justin again following her kidney transplant. Now that doesn’t seem to be the case, but we can’t say for sure. So is it as simple as Bye The Weekend! Hi Justin? Her friends and family are definitely guarded: “Her family and friends just wish her the best and pray he doesn’t hurt her again,” the Radar source summed up. Over the weekend Gomez, 25, and Bieber, 23, shared a low-key breakfast date in LA and the pair also attended church services together. Meanwhile The Weeknd, 27, has unfollowed Gomez’ family members and friends.

Brazil Photo Press / Splash News Someone we actually like… Cardi B Covers “Rolling Stone” Cardi B is still on a winning streak. Belcalis is currently covering Rolling Stone and showing the world what it looks like when you’re having the best year ever. Inside the mag is a detailed look into her tour life as told by writer Brittany Spanos who spent time with Bardi before one of her shows. There’s talk about Cardi getting a MEAN yeast infection from her hotel’s highly acidic soap… “My ***y was burnin’ like a Mexican taco!” says Cardi. some classic Cardi chatter about her not getting any from Offset on her birthday…(Damn that period!) “I was sad, because it’s like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m not getting no dick on my birthday,’” says Cardi, whose bedazzled acrylic nails are decorated with tiny reproductions of Offset paparazzi shots. “But I wasn’t going to get d*** on my birthday anyway, because I got my period.” and her decision to drop out of college and strip full time. “A lot of people wonder, ‘Why would anybody want to be a dancer?’” she says. “Because there’s money!” She used some of her stripping cash to briefly return to school. “I kept missing classes,” she says, “and quit because I felt like I was already failing. It was such a disappointment.” The interesting interview also includes a section on Cardi holding back on social media after a few instances like her previously referring to Kim Jong Un as “Won Tung Soup.” “I used to tell myself that I will always be myself,” she says. But she worries that she’s going back on that vow. “Little by little, I’m feeling like I’m getting trapped and muted.” Not everyone’s as happy for Cardi as we are. Rolling Stone’s Instagram comments section is being flooded by people who wish they’d put the late Fats Domino on the cover instead. What do YOU think about Cardi B’s Rolling Stone cover???

Paul Zimmerman/WireImage/Leon Bennett/FilmMagic In the key of CUT IT OUT, don’t do this sis… Chrisette Michele Defends Tina Campbell After Tina Campbell got Psalms scalped for admitting to voting for Trump , she’s got a new ally. Chrisette Michele whose social media confession about being dropped by her label and suffering a miscarriage (complete with a picture of a miscarried fetus) sent Twitter into a tizzy, has something headazz to say. According to the “Blame It On Me” singer, she stands with her fellow “strong black woman” Tina Campbell who’s entitled to her opinion on Cheeto In Chief and shouldn’t be “choice shamed.” “Adults do this thing I’d like to call “choice shaming”,” wrote Chrisette. “We can disagree without division.” . @IamTinaCampbell Adults do this thing I'd like to call “choice shaming”. It mimics what children do with bullying. It causes a silencing that mutes the people who have made great contributions. We can disagree without division. Stay #StrongBlackWoman pic.twitter.com/PSPYeerg9q — chrisette michele (@ChrisetteM) October 28, 2017 Unfortunately for her ill-advised message was expertly eviscerated by people pointing out that the black community is entitled to make the choice not to support them. There is no “choice-shaming” at work here. You both became rich & famous through the love and patronage of Black people, only to betray the community by supporting a political platform built on white supremacy. You're not entitled to the Black community's unconditional support. — woman thou art lucid (@CrystalLewis) October 28, 2017 See, this is getting ridiculous. Y’all decided to support a person who is known for homophobia, racism, sexism, and is a bully. You made an intentional choice to perform as she did in voting for him. These are consequences. — PrestonMitchum (@PrestonMitchum) October 28, 2017 So for Tina Campbell’s yet to comment. Yes Chrisette, you and Tina are entitled to your grossly wrong opinions, you’re also entitled to tour pushbacks and label dropping . Enjoy sis! More comments on Chrisette and Tina on the flip.

Sixth grade teacher Terrance Sims was well aware of that fact when he started using hip hop to get his students excited for class. Sims told The Shade Room, “ I use hip-hop to engage my students academically.This song originally was to get our new 6th graders pumped for the new year and it kept picking up steam to be what it is right now. We will continue making videos using hip hop to encourage academic achievement.” Check out these amazing sixth graders dropping quality bars about their academics to Tee Grizzley ‘s “First Day Out”. They are the future after all. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://globalgrind.cassiuslife.com” id=”4120693″ overlay=”true”]
Source: Pool / Getty Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been absolute relationship goals since they got married in 2012. Back in August, Reynolds had everyone on Twitter and Instagram laughing out loud with the birthday tribute he posted to his wife. He posted a picture of the both of them together along with a loving “Happy Birthday” message…sounds endearing, doesn’t it? But of course Ryan is a known jokester, especially with his girl, so his birthday picture was just a little bit different. Reaching a whopping 1.4 million likes, Ryan’s “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife” was slightly overshadowed by him almost completely cropping her out. Ryan’s birthday was on Monday, and Blake finally got her chance to retaliate against the notorious birthday post, but hers might be even better. Lively posted a photo of not only her husband cropped out, but standing next to his friend Ryan Gosling standing front and center. Happy birthday, baby. pic.twitter.com/TysO4F620D — Blake Lively (@blakelively) October 23, 2017 Fans were living for this hilarious reply, and everyone agrees that once they get married, they want a playful relationship exactly like this.
