Source: Presley Ann / Getty Last week, the Hotties were hoping to get blessed by their fearless leader, Megan Thee Stallion , with the “Hot Girl Summer” single. Some sleuths online seemingly managed to figure out that Nicki Minaj will appear on the track, and the week-long delay of its release seems to confirm that. The Minaj Society Twitter account posted a tweet Sunday (August 4) that showed a Shazam result for “Hot Girl Summer” with Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign as the featured guests on the track. The pair sparked rumors last month after appearing on each other’s Instagram Live feeds, and Megan herself told her adoring fans that the song would be delayed a week for a rather special reason. It’s safe to assume that the Hotties and Barbz are going to be blasting this track for the rest of the summer should the Nicki Minaj cameo come to fruition. “Hot Girl Summer” drops on Friday, August 9. According to @Shazam , Nicki Minaj is featured on “Hot Girl Summer” by Megan Thee Stallion. pic.twitter.com/w2x8ABUR8A — Minaj Society (@MinajSociety) August 4, 2019 Oh, here’s a video of Megan Thee Stallion running in a bikini because, why not?

Porsha Williams And Dennis McKinley Reconcile? Rumors are swirling that Porsha Williams and her fiance are back on. As previously reported the Real Housewife of Atlanta and Dennis McKinley reportedly split after 8 months of engagement. The news comes amid rumors that the businessman cheated and after Porsha hinted that “mistakes” were made in their relationship. Now, however, the two have been spotted together and they’re looking coupled up. While Porsha was whining with the ladies in Toronto for Caribana, Dennis was apparently on hand. Dennis posed with the ladies at the Carribean Carnival’s King And Queen Showcase.

This comes after Dennis asked fans to spam Porsha’s page with messages that her “baby daddy loves her.” “Somebody go to @porsha4real page and tell her her baby daddy [love] her,” said Dennis on his InstaStory. It definitely looks like baby PJ’s parents are back on. Hit the flip for more of Dennis and Porsha’s alleged RHOA reconciliation.
Afton Williamson has had enough. The actress will be leaving ABC’s The Rookie , amid claims that she faced racial discrimination and sexual harassment while working on the show. Afton made the announcement yesterday while putting her executive producers on blast in a lengthy Instagram post. “I will not be returning for Season 2 of The Rookie,” Afton’s post begins. Afton, as Officer Talia Bishop, co-starred alongside Nathan Fillion throughout Season 1 of the police drama. She claims her mistreatment began as early as the original pilot. “Throughout the filming of the pilot,” Afton writes, “I experienced Racial Discrimination/Racially Charged inappropriate comments from the hair department and bullying from Executive Producers.” She says the bullying continued throughout the season, along with “Sexual Harassment from a recurring guest star.” Afton made the legally shrewd decision not to be specific about the identity of her aggressors. She also was not specific about the actions or language used against her, but obviously what happened is not okay. Working alongside great actors on a major network television show should have been a great gig. But no one at any job should have to put up with racist remarks or sexual harassment. There are supposed to be systems in place to prevent and correct this kind of behavior. In the corporate environment, this usually means taking your problems to the human resources department. But Afton claims that though she reported the harassment to showrunner Alexi Hawley, he never even passed her complaints along. “The Sexual Harassment though reported to the Showrunner/EP remained undocumented,” Afton says. She adds that the behavior “was not reported to HR as promised.” Because of his inaction, Afton’s harassment continued throughout the first season. Things reached their breaking point for Afton when the situation “escalated into Sexual Assault at our wrap party.” Now, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Afton’s claims are finally being investigated by Entertainment One, the studio on production of The Rookie . At this point, it isn’t clear whether the studio began the investigation before or after Afton’s decision to leave the show. Either way, it may be too little, too late to clean up this mess. For Afton, as well as the series, the damage is done. It seems like both Entertainment One and ABC are mostly focused on damage control right now. They both want you to know that even though they let this happen and did nothing until a woman had to leave her job, that they’re taking this “very seriously.” “We take claims of this nature very seriously,” said a statement released by Entertainment One. The statement continues, “We have initiated an independent investigation which is ongoing, and as such, it would not be appropriate to comment at this time.” ABC released a similar statement, saying “The safety of working environments is a top priority for us, and we take this matter very seriously.” Just like Entertainment One, ABC is not quite ready to draw any conclusions or accept responsibility. The story is definitely still developing, but we hope both studios actually follow through and do right by Afton. We may even learn more today, once ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke meets with reporters at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour.

Tyler Cameron may have scored a date with supermodel Gigi Hadid, but he may have just lost his chance of handing out roses on next season of The Bachelor. *grabs the tissue box* Host Chris Harrison seemingly shut down The Bachelorette runner-up’s shots of being the next Bachelor after he was spotted getting drinks in Soho with none other than the beautiful Hadid. Days after he left Hannah Brown’s new LA home ! (In very comfy attire, and in the early morning, so take that as you will.) It’s safe to say that Tyler is embracing his newly single status, as he should, the poor guy just got his heart broken on national television after Hannah rejected his heartfelt proposal. But Chris Harrison isn’t too impressed . “If Tyler is bouncing round from girl to girl and loving the life and enjoying the limelight, which, by the way, good on him. That’s fine,” Chris told Entertainment Tonight. “If that’s what you want to do right now, I don’t blame him.” “He’s probably enjoying life really, really well — but that’s not someone we’re going to want to have as our Bachelor or Bachelorette ,” he stated. “So, it’s about sincerity. It’s about where you are in your life. And if that’s where he is in his life, then he’s not the guy for us.” Ouch! Bachelor Nation is probably feeling a tad bummed right about now. But hey, as long as Tyler is happy — we’re happy, right guys?! Cameron and Hadid met through Instagram, but apparently they have a few mutual friends in the modeling industry. “She knew of him before he got any wind of fame from the Bachelorette,” an insider told E! News . And yes, the date went really well, because according to E!, there are many more in store for Tigi. “Gigi thinks Tyler is really cute and nice and liked that he was a good listener,” shared the source. “They have been texting for weeks and have plans to hang out again while Tyler is in NYC.” “They are both taking things slow but have both made it clear they are interested in each other.” So yeah… sounds like we can pretty much kiss the idea of seeing Tyler on our TV’s anytime soon goodbye. And as for his future with Ms. Brown? Well, despite the obvious sparks that are flying between Gigi and Tyler, it sounds like he is still open to see what the future holds for him and Hannah. But with her living in LA now, geographically, it is not exactly the ideal dating situation. “Tyler saw Hannah in LA and they had a good night and a good talk.” wink, wink, “But it’s probably not going to amount to much right now,” a second source tells E! . “She moved to LA and he doesn’t live there.” “They agreed to keep talking, but that’s it for now,” the source added. “It’s geographically challenging.” With or without the Bachelor franchise, Tyler will be just fine. Even though Bachelor Nation may not be… IDK how many more plot twists we can take?! But to leave you with a piece of good news (you’re welcome) , Chris Harrison is keeping the Florida stud in mind for another ABC show, adding that Cameron would be a good contestant on Dancing With the Stars . “Tyler dances. He has the whole Footloose thing! he told ET on Monday, adding that Peter Weber and Mike Johnson are still in the running to be the next lead. “Let’s see who really is sincere at the end of the day, because we do have a couple of months before we have to start production and really get into this, so we have time.” View Slideshow: Tyler Cameron Photo Montage: Holy Hotness!

Julia Rose is probably the most important girl who gets naked on Instagram. You may or may not have heard of her but she’s managed to build a small empire for herself. She’s charging people 15 dollars to follow her on Patreon. She’s got enough people paying her that 15 dollars a month to make over 100k a month and she’s not even that hot, she’s just smart enough to embrace where she fits into the social media thing, and fucking exploit the fuck out of it. She’s also started a titty mag, which is pretty interesting in an era where Playboy editors have been quoted saying “this nude shoot in water represents gender fluidity”….in a WTF you tying to pull with your bullshit…you BULLSHIT… When all we really need is a group of girls, coordinating shoots, and getting fucking naked in them… It’s softcore Glamour Model shit, but as a people, in this era, it is exactly what we need….and it’s nice to see a naked girl cashing in, rather than just being a vapid idiot who calls herself a feminist waiting around for a rich guy to determine her future. What I am saying is be more like Julia Rose. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Julia Rose and her Crew Naked of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Source: Radio One Digital / Radio One Digital Vince Young is an absolute legend in the state of Texas. We don’t need to go through the former Madison High School quarterback’s full resume but it includes a) a National Championship at Texas, b) a NFL Rookie of the Year honor, c) a 30-2 record as a college quarterback and d) two Rose Bowl MVPs and quite possibly the best player on the field during the greatest game ever played in college football history. In other words, VY is set for life in Houston. Still, that doesn’t mean VY is going to hold back on the criticism lobbed his way during his playing career and more. Even though he misses the game, he still watches — and enjoys college ball and high school ball to that of the NFL sometimes. Why? “Look at these quarterbacks now, they are garbage, bro.” Whew! VY knows it’s all about the show on the field, especially in the league’s premier position. What does he think about his alma mater’s upcoming season and what did he learn while being in the league? Hear it for yourself in his exclusive interview with the Madd Hatta Morning show inside the Houston BMW Studios below!

Source: GABRIEL BOUYS / Getty Victoria’s Secret has just hired a transgender model for the first time ever. The new VS rep is Brazilian beauty Valentina Sampaio , who revealed that she had the new gig on Instagram. The 22-year-old uploaded a beautiful pic of her in a bathrobe while behind the scenes for a PINK photshoot. Sampaio being recruited is groundbreaking and will hopefully help the lingerie company boost their sales. The company’s revenue has been on the decline recently and they are working to rebrand the company. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Sampaio’s hire is also surprising, since Victoria’s Secret’s Chief Marketing Officer Ed Razek stated last year that he didn’t feel transgender models should be put in their annual fashion show. “Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy,” Razek told Vogue in November 2018. VS later faced heavy backlash and that obviously changed their minds about bringing transgender models onboard. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Valentina Sampaio has reportedly made history. According to the 22-year old herself, assuming we’re interpreting her latest Instagram message correctly, Sampaio has been hired to appear in an upcoming Victoria’s Secret campaign. And what, exactly, would make this notable and, as mentioned above, historic? Sampaio would become the first openly transgender model to pose for the lingerie company, which has been trying to rebrand of late. The Brazilian beauty just shared the photo featured here of herself sitting in a bathrobe backstage at what she writes was a photo shoot for the company’s PINK line on Long Island, New York. “Backstage click @vspink #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #model #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio #bomdia,” Sampaio wrote. It’s unclear whether she also set the record for hashtags with this caption. Sampaio also posted a selfie video on this same account, making the same general reference to her Victoria’s Secret hiring. “Never stop dreaming genteee #staytuned #bastidores #new #vspink #campaign #representatividade #diversity #beauty #selfie #life #fashion #usa #vstorm #valentinasampaio,” she wrote, later adding: “Life is amazing… Love more and hate less, hate is useless, just do not waste time with it!” In a statement to E! News, Sampaio’s manager Erio Zanon praised his client for creating history with this “amazing and groundbreaking” news. “She is super happy and proud to represent all her community,” he says. “She hopes this opportunity shall be another step to break barriers.” For the record: Neither Victoria’s Secret nor its parent company, L Brands, have yet commented this seemingly huge announcement. It’s worth noting, though, that Sampaio’s hiring would come just as the company looks to rebrand amid declining sales — and following controversial remarks that the group’s chief marketing officer made last year about the idea of including transgender and plus-size models in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show… … which has since been canceled . Assuming Sampaio really is now a Victoria’s Secret model, the reaction online has mostly been very positive. With a few exceptions, of course, as you might expect. “First transgender to shoot with Vs! This make me so happy!” Victoria’s Secret Angel and fellow Brazilian model Lais Ribiero Tweeted on Saturday. “Wow finally!” added fellow transgender star, LGBTQ+ activist and Orange Is the New Black alum Laverne Cox. In 2017, Sampaio also made fashion history by becoming the first transgender model to appear on the cover of a Vogue publication, specifically Vogue Paris. We’ll update this story when/if Victoria’s Secret itself makes a statement. But what do you think about this apparent major piece of news?
