Kenyon Martin Regrets Clowning Jeremy Lin’s Locks: ‘Never Meant To Be Racial’

Go here to see the original:

Source: Doug Pensinger / Getty Retired NBA All Star Kenyon Martin told Sports Illustrated that his comments about Brooklyn Nets guard  Jeremy Lin ‘s locks were just playful banter, not racial hatred. K-Mart also revealed that his joke that Lin wants to be black caused some trolls to call him “nigger,” while others messaged his son. Martin said, “I recently erased the post off my page. People were sending messages to my son. Like, no. Say whatever to me and about me. I have thick skin. I know what my intentions were. But then those are the things that are coming across. You n—– this. Your n—– that. Sports Illustrated has the full interview, here are the highlights: Kenyon Martin: This was never meant to be racial. It was thought of as what would’ve been done in our locker room. It would’ve been jokes. We would’ve been making jokes. It’s far from racist. I guess saying “Wanting to be black” made it racial. But I despise people that look down because of race. It was meant to be a “Ha Ha Ha” moment. If you watch, I was laughing in the statements. It got taken too far. I wanted to clear the air. I don’t know Jeremy. He’s had a few crazy hairstyles before and I had the same thought process: ‘WTF.’ But I wasn’t trying to be racist. I didn’t even know he did the Players Tribune thing. RN: So to be clear, what was your intention? KM: If you listen to it, I was saying he wouldn’t have made it in our locker room. We would’ve made jokes every single day. He is a grown man. He can rock whatever hairstyle he wants to rock. People missed all of that. Just like I’m a grown man. I can say whatever I want. RN: Anything else you want to get off your chest? KM: I have no problem with Jeremy, man. People were attacking me, calling me racist or n—–. I didn’t call him any kind of derogatory thing. He has the right to rock any hairstyle he wants. It got out of control. It wasn’t meant to be anything more than banter. Jeremy is an athlete and I would hope he understood that this was in fun and not to offend and as long as he’s not offended that’s all that matters. I wish him well. RN: Have you spoken to Jeremy?  KM: I DM’d him after the fact. I’m a grown man. I can admit if something got out of control or if I did something wrong. I’m trying to get his phone number as we speak so we can clear the air.

Heidi Montag: Jen Bunney is My Baby’s Godmother!

Get ready for a blast from the past! Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt welcomed their first child into the world. Of all of the reality couples on all of the shows, those two are the ones who are still together and starting a family. But we’ve only just now learned who little Gunner Pratt’s godmother is: none other than Jen Bunney. The Hills was a veritable pioneer of reality television. It wasn’t a competition or a documentary — it was just a group of ridiculous people being filmed living their ridiculous lives. That’s not unusual at all, now. Back in the day, though, only a few shows really matched that description. Jen Bunney wasn’t as big of a name as Heidi Montag or Lauren Conrad, but she had her moments. What might have been her biggest and most life-changing moment of all was allegedly hooking up with Brody Jenner, Lauren Conrad’s crush, during Lauren’s own birthday party during the show’s second season. Yikes. And Lauren Conrad was, from that point on, completely done with Jen, and excised her from her life entirely. Whatever “shady thing” she did with him was the subject of no shortage of speculation until just a couple of years ago, when Brody Jenner denied that they’d hooked up. Specifically, he was at the time blasting The Hills (and perhaps reality television in general) as “fake” and mentioned that he “didn’t have sex with Jen Bunney.” He went even further, insisting that he “didn’t hook up with any of these girls.” Jen Bunney took to Instagram to respond to Brody Jenner’s admission, succinctly writing: “Cool #toolittletoolate” Considering how much that one allegation changed Jen’s life, that’s an understandable response. Though Heidi and Spencer had been the ones who encouraged Jen to kiss Brody at the time (even though we now know that it didn’t lead to sex), Jen has maintained a fast friendship with Heidi in particular. But also with Spencer. They’re a package deal. Both Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were guests at Jen Bunney’s 2014 wedding to Taylor Dunphy. It’s not unusual for friends to be there for such major life milestones, of course, but it’s a great sign that they formed a lasting bond. It’s clear that the stars of The Hills have done a lot of growing up over the years. (Well, Spencer Pratt still makes an ass of himself , but … that’s who he is, we guess) Heidi’s reconnected with her mom, and now Heidi and Spencer are new parents. And look at who the proud godmother is: In a clip from Heidi’s Instagram story, Heidi and Jen celebrated baby Gunner Stone Pratt. ( Gunner is an odd name that may refer to the Viking name Gunnar, which basically means “warrior.” And Stone is a perfect middle name for a child whose parents spent considerable chunks of their lost fortune on, well, crystals) Heidi announced: “Cheers, I have one of Gunner’s godmothers here, Jen Bunney!” We love that “one of” line. Exactly how many godmothers does Gunner have? Jen Bunney added: “We’re celebrating Gunner. He’s the best baby ever. We love him so much!” These days, by the way, Jen Bunney is working in the healthcare field and, last we checked, was working on her Masters. Considering that the original cast members of The Hills are all in new stages in their lives, now seems like a perfect time for a revival of the series. Especially since there’s a new Pratt that fans could watch grow up. Spencer, who has changed his Twitter name to “Pratt Dad” in honor of Gunner’s birth, says that everyone who was on The Hills would be up for such a reboot. Well … almost everyone. “The entire cast is in minus LC” Yeah, Lauren Conrad’s gonna be a hard sell.

Megyn Kelly: Is Her Massive Salary Pissing Off Her Colleagues?

As you may have heard, Megyn Kelly did not have a great week last week. Her peppy, mostly apolitical morning show, Megyn Kelly Today , premiered to less than rave reviews and featured more than a few awkward moments. Thus far, the show has served to strengthen the argument that NBC made a costly mistake in courting the former Fox News anchor. Reports that execs are desperate to fire Kelly have been circulating for months, but new revelations about just how much the network is paying the 46-year-old lead us to believe they’ll likely ride it out in hopes of seeing some return on their investment. According to a new report from Radar Online, NBC has agreed to pay Kelly an astonishing $69 million over the next three years. Yes, that awkward morning show that’s become Twitter’s favorite punchline is earning Kelly $23 million a year. For reference, NBC pays Jimmy Fallon just over $15 million annually. Matt Lauer is paid more than Megyn, with a salary of $25 million, but he’s been with the network for 23 years! “How on earth can they justify paying her $69m for three years?” said one irate insider in an interview with Radar. “The network that created Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw and Matt Lauer will now forever be remembered for the $69m hire of Megyn Kelly,” opined another. What’s truly baffling about the staggering sum Kelly is being paid is that NBC had to know her contract amounted to a tremendous gamble on their part. Though more moderate than some of her colleagues, Kelly still made a name for herself as a rightwing firebrand at Fox News. NBC shelled out for a kinder, gentler Kelly, which baffled many within the industry. Why pay her so much to not do what she’s best known for? It’s the journalistic equivalent of signing Tom Brady for eight figures and having him play wide receiver. On top of the confusing attempt at rebranding, the network assumed the risk that left-leaning viewers would reject Kelly as a result of the controversial views she espoused in the past. And indeed, to seems to be what’s taking place. Numbers for Kelly’s second week aren’t in yet, but her ratings declined steadily during her first week on the air. Of course, that could have less to do with the fact that she once argued Santa Claus is white in an unhinged on-air tirade, and more to do with the fact that her show is simply not good.

Khloe Kardashian Thanks God… Confirms Baby on Board?

Khloe Kardashian has apparently found religion. The reality star has shared a new Instagram message and photo in which she praises The Big Man Upstairs and, as some may interpret it, confirms that she’s with child. Along with the heart-themed picture above, Khloe wrote the following late this week: Lord, Thank You for giving me the health and strength I need to overcome every stronghold in my life and for loving me unconditionally in the times that I may fail you. Amen Khloe has always been among the more open and honest members of her family. She’s discussed her difficulties conceiving in the past and also been candid about her struggles with weight gain. But this post still represents something new. We can’t think of the last time Khloe cited religion and/or God in such an overt manner. It’s therefore hard not to imagine that this is a veiled reference to the fact that Kardashian is pregnant with her first baby . It would certainly make sense for Khloe to express gratitude toward God under such a circumstance. Not only did she try and fail to get pregnant for many years while married to Lamar Odom… she then had to deal with his drug abuse and infidelity and the couple’s subsequent divorce. Meanwhile, sister Kim Kardashian was happily married with two kids. Kendall Jenner was a successful model, Kylie Jenner (who is also somehow pregnant) started a wildly successful beauty empire. All the while, Khloe was doing just fine for herself, of course. But she may very well have wondered when she would catch her major break. It’s clearly now come in the form of a loyal boyfriend named Tristan Thompson and a tiny boy or a girl in her womb. Granted, neither Khloe nor Thompson has actually confirmed this piece of exciting news just yet. However, nearly every reliable celebrity gossip and news outlet has reported on it, without anyone in the Kardashian family coming out and shooting the rumor down. Thompson and Kardashian also shared THIS CUTE PHOTO mere days after the story broke, which we read as an admission they are as happy as two expecting parents can be. But if you didn’t believe the pregnancy scoop before, you almost have to now, right? Following this faith-based Instagram message from the very likely mother-to-be? “There is no jealousy here,” a source close to the family told People Magazine of Kylie being pregnant, Khloe being pregnant AND Kim expecting a child via surrogate. Add this insider: “No one is worried about anyone stealing their thunder. It’s not dramatic like that… “They’re focusing on the babies. Everyone is genuinely happy about what’s happening.” View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian is Pregnant, and Twitter Has SO MANY FEELINGS

Boomerang Love: Tiny Explains Why She’s Sticking With T.I. [VIDEO]

Originally posted here:

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Tiny is sharing why she decided to call off her divorce from T.I. and work on their marriage. To say that the love between T.I. and Tiny would be an understatement. Their relationship has had numerous ups and downs, but it seemed like they were calling it quits for good when they announced their divorce . The pair split up after his affair with a woman named Bernice Burgos went public in a big way. Tiny was done, and she filed for divorce. He called marriage a distraction , and they ended their family reality show by breaking up . It all seemed incredibly final. Cut to social media a few short months later, and they were dropping hints about still being in each other lives. Then, at the Hip Hop Honors last in September, Tiny and T.I. were all hugged up with each other backstage. Days later, it was announced that they’re back together and working on their marriage. It’s been a lot for fans to keep up with; some wonder why the pair keeping breaking up and making up. When Tiny dropped by Hot 97, she explained why she and T.I. have decide to stick it out and work through their issues. “I don’t know. For us, I think it’s all in love. We just have a lot of love for each other,” Tiny said, adding that it’s hard for them to walk away from each other after so many years together. “And a lot of years in it too. So, that brings us back to being on a certain page that we can’t keep running from.” She continued, “Like we can run from it for a minute like, ‘I’m through with her! I’m through with him! I don’t care about it.’ But then that love just comes back and it’s like, ‘You know what? Come back over here. Let me talk to you about this.” Meanwhile, T.I. was on Instagram hitting peak dad mode. Always one to support a hustle, T.I. promoted Zonnique ‘s new video for Patience. That proud papa still made time to let it be know that he thinks she’s doing a bit too much with her grownup look in the clip.

As for the rest of you, you know the drill: just wait a few minutes and I’m sure Bella will drop more topless hotness on Instagram and/or Snapchat. It’s only a matter of time.
