Eminem is bonafide rap royalty, so even if you’re one of those OGs who’s of the opinion that he peaked with 2000’s Marshall Mathers LP , it’s not to see why so many continue to stan out over Slim Shady. These days, most of the focus is on Em’s personal life, which is understandable for a couple of reasons: 1. See our earlier comment about dude hitting his creative peak like 17 years ago. (We love you, Em, but you know it’s the truth.) 2. Mr. Mathers tends to shy away from the press these days, which lends him a J.D. Salinger-esque recluse mystique. (Hard to argue that anyone who appears in public as often as Eminem does could be considered a proper recluse, but in 2017, if you go a day without posting a selfie, you’re basically Emily Dickinson.) Anyway, the point is, the 44-year-old has achieved permanent headline-maker status. Even new photos of daughter Hailie Jade Mathers get social media all in a tizzy. So we suppose it’s not a huge surprise that a major shakeup in the rap legend’s facial hair status has caused the Internet to lose it’f f–king mind: Yes, that’s Em looking less like that the blonde trash-talker that rose to fame two decades ago and more like the guy who works the counter at your local vape shop. The beard is working for him, but it’s a shock to see the man making such a significant change after being beard-free for his entire adult life. Maybe Em got a memo from El-P, Action Bronson, Post Malone, Mac Miller, and Riff Raff, informing him that in 2017, white rappers rock facial hair. Or maybe he remembered that he has a daughter in college, which means it’s time to flex his beard muscle. Either way, the look is definitelt contributing to his mysterious reculse status. Em was on the red carpet to promote The Defiant Ones , an upcoming HBO documentary about the collaborative relationship between Dr. Dre and hip hop mogul Jimmy Iovine. Enjoy it, because it’s probably the last look you’ll get at dude this year. But don’t worry, we’ll let you know when new photos of Hailie Jade surface. (She turns 22 this year, you can ogle without shame.) View Slideshow: Hailie Scott: Eminem’s Daughter is All Grown Up, Surprisingly Normal!
Demi Lovato hasn’t historically been what we’d call shy about her body. And yeah, that includes flaunting the curves of her boobs, because those are part of her body and she can show or not show them as she likes. But even her most cleavage-tastic photos, she’s never looked as busty as you’ll see below. The singer and actress has had a number of fantastic hits. And she’s gorgeous as well. She’s taken a ton of photos before. Quite a few of Demi Lovato’s photos have been provocative or revealing or downright sexy . But this photo of her really stands out, and she acknowledges as much in the captions with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the pic’s, um, standout features. Honestly, with the outfit and location and pose, Demi looks like a (busty) princess: WOW. Her caption? “Objects in this picture may seem bigger than they actually are……” A cute play on “objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.” But seriously, her boobs look like they’re almost out of control. Like, at any moment, they might bust out of her outfit and give this wretched world the queens it deserves, you know? But obviously, even without her admission in the captions, we can tell that this isn’t business as usual. (Bustiness as usual?) There’s probably a lot going on underneath that dress that’s mashing her boobs up for maximum effect. Bare minimum, we’re talking some kind of corset. More likely? Some kind of body tape could be involved. It sounds wildly uncomfortable. But that photo might be worth it. She snapped the cleavage pic in Cannes, France. And managed to do so without getting entangled with Scott Disick, which seems to put her in a minority lately. Maybe because he’s no longer there, since he’s been reportedly hooking up with Bella Thorne in LA. Maybe because Demi knows how to dodge relationship bullets, at this point. Of course, the 24-year-old might be “too old” for Scott at this point, because he seems to only go after teens these days. Ick. But on a less icky note, let’s remember that Demi’s boobs look great even under normal circumstances. Like, we don’t want to fall into that trap of growing accustomed to seeing her a certain type of way. Only to be shocked when we see her switch back to her default self. That can happen when stars like Demi Lovato go without makeup for the first time in a while. But it’s a great photo. If it weren’t for the fact that Demi’s been sober for years, we’d expect to see a glass of wine in her hand just for the aesthetic of it all, you know? Anyway, congratulations to Demi for looking majorly hot for the summer. And let’s not forget that she’s always gorgeous.

Getty Images Iggy Azalea Offers Azealia Banks An Olive Branch, She Accepts Try not to get tongue twisted, but Iggy Azalea sent out an o live branch to Azealia Banks yesterday via her Snapchat story and it looks like The outspoken ‘bruja’ accepted. The two have been at odds since Banks did an interview a few years back, noting Iggy’s white privileged and talking huge smack about her talent. Iggy feels like there’s no further need to hold grudges with a stranger… She initiated the peace offering with a lengthy snap chat post saying : “I just want to say FYI, re: A. Banks. Call me crazy but girl, I don’t hate you. I don’t know you to hate you, I believe you may want to meet me in person so you can steal a lock of my hair and cast a spell hoping I die (lol) I don’t agree with many of your opinions but honestly, at times I empathize with you as a creative Gemini woman. I wish you had spoken to me before deciding I was out to get you when we first came on the scene, but that’s also typical Gemini reaction shit (I get it). As a 27 year old adult woman just know: I wish you well from one human to another and joke collaboration or not as adults we should move past trivial beef with strangers.” Azealia Banks responded by reposting the message to her instagram account and then followed up the post, saying : “Now if I can fet signed by Jay-Z [and] release this Iggy collab…my little rap b-tch dreams will be complete.” Fans take it as a peace offering. Are you guys ready for these two to make magic in the studio? Or does it sound like a mess already?
Halle Berry Says She’s Tired Of Complaints With No Action Halle Berry says she’s fed up with folks whining about Black Lives Matter…sort of. It’s not so much the act of speaking about the movement itself that bothers Ms. Berry…but the posting, meme-ing, and discussing the issues at hand…but then taking no real tangible action to try to help rectify it at the end of the day. While making an appearance at the Cannes Lions Girls’ Lounge, Halle told Page Six : “In my world, I get so tired of people complaining about, ‘Oh black lives matter,’ and they pontificate and pontificate about it, and I say, ‘Well, what are you doing about that? It may not seem significant to you, but that’s how we start. Have you called your local politicians, have you written a letter?’” When they say they’ve done nothing, I say, ‘Well, don’t talk to me…because you are part of the problem, because you are sitting here spewing negativity and complaining.’ I don’t have time for people who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.” Well, we can’t say we disagree all that much. Building awareness and fostering discussion of the topics at hand is definitely important…but without individuals and groups trying to make steps toward real change, we’re all just watching injustice occur like a reality show at the end of the day. What do you think of Halle’s comments? Getty/WENN/Splash
Chilli Says She Wasn’t Surprised By L.A. Reid Harassment The creepy sexual shenanigans that got L.A. kicked out of Epic’s top offices didn’t come as too big a surprise to Chilli, who herself had been rumored to have carried on with the record honcho quite a bit back in the TLC days, when he was married to Pebbles. While sitting down with Billboard Magazine to talk about their crowdfunded comeback, T-Boz and Chilli touched on the topic of randy-azz Reid’s Epic label woes …and didn’t seem at all shocked that things went down that way. Watkins and Thomas have seen the best and the worst of the music industry, and while they’re not bitter, they’re honest in a way that some of today’s big stars, who thrive on an air of opaque mystery, perhaps cannot be. There is, for one, their reaction to Reid’s exit from Epic amid sexual harassment allegations. “I hear more people are coming out saying stuff,” says Watkins, as Thomas buries her face in her hands. “I was surprised he was fired, but [the accusations] didn’t come as a surprise. I don’t wish him anything ill. But surprised? No.” SMH. Well if anyone would know the deal with L.A., it’s these ladies. The ladies also addressed how much their past songs like “Unpretty” and “Perfect Girls” empowered young girls to love what they are born with…and their hope that they can speak to a new generation now that social media has changed the tides: “You can never say it enough,” says Watkins. “Today, it seems like being a ho is winning, because hoes are winning.” “Yeah, they’re winning,” agrees Thomas. Watkins continues: “All the Instagram models, I’m like, ‘Wow, that girl doesn’t really look anything like that.’ These little girls are chasing something they’ll never achieve.” But it’s less that she’s judgmental, and more that she’s pragmatic about their futures. “Whatever your hustle is, go somewhere with it,” she adds. “If you going to be a ho, be a good ho.” Will you be copping the new TLC album on the 30th?

Yearbook quotes used to just be little cute ways of being remembered or sharing jokes with friends. Now, in the age of social media, many students hope to be able to share their sense of humor or their ingenuity with thousands of people who never attended their school. Sometimes, it works, and their photo and quote get shared all across the world. One student’s yearbook photo has gone viral for making a hilarious point about sexist dress codes. When Tori DiPaolo tweeted this photo from the yearbook, she included a caption. “Tori: 1; Dress Code: 0.” She wasn’t just congratulating herself for an entertaining quote that poked fun at the hypocrisy of school photos that bare those scandalous shoulders when the school itself bans them. She’s apparently waged a lengthy battle against the school’s outrageously sexist dress code policies. “Over the past four years, myself and many of my friends have received dress code violations for clothes that were nowhere near inappropriate.” That’s all too common. And while many students are quick to blame teachers for reporting them for their “offenses,” they should realize that most teachers only do so for fear of getting into trouble if they don’t report dress code violations. “I became a bit infamous around school for fighting the administration about dress code, so I figured I’d use my senior quote as one final jab.” Great callbacks to your reputation are a great way to use a yearbook quote. Second only to the folks who use their yearbook quotes to come out of the closet. “I just found it funny that the outfits for senior portraits technically violated the dress code by exposing our shoulders, so I saw my opportunity and ran with it.” Funny, yes … but not funny haha , you know? Dress codes can be especially onerous in the south, where soaring temperatures can combine with humidity to make even a tee shirt feel like its smothering its wearers. But no matter the location, dress codes are clearly and aggressively based on gender discrimination. “It’s all based on sexism, and it is completely unreasonable.” She’s not pulling that out of nowhere. So much of dress codes has to do with the idea that a girl’s bare shoulders or, gasp, if her tee shirt rides up, will distract the boys in the classroom. You know, because shoulders and the small of your back have magic powers that force boys to stop paying attention. One of my favorite anecdotes about girls responding to stupid sexist dress code enforcement was a girl who was told that her bra strap was showing so she needed to change outfits who then reached under her shirt and removed her bra. All the while without breaking eye contact with the teacher. Not all heroes wear capes. Or bras. “There have been a number of incidents where I was called into the office due to what I was wearing. Whether it was my bra strap showing, or my midriff being a quarter inch exposed, administration always gave me a problem.” Pulling her out of class and wasting her time when she could have been learning. Shame on them. Like, the idea of a dress code makes sense, but basically you should just need to wear clothing that wouldn’t get you banned from Instagram or, like, a McDonald’s. That’s just part of life. Instead, students — most of whom are in the middle of growth spurts and many of whom may not come from families who can afford to be picky about clothes — are expected to go above and beyond. Because apparently certain parts of the human arm are just too darn sexual. (But in ways that only impact boys) Policies are inconsistently enforced, so a girl might only get in trouble for her attire after having worn it a dozen times before, thinking that it wasn’t a problem. The most insidious part of how dress codes are enforced is that, in case she might distract boys from their educations, girls are called out of class or even sent home. Which effectively prioritizes the educations of hypothetical boys who lack basic self-control skills. The fact that girls are supposed to be responsible for their male classmates’ educations is ludicrous, but it’s enshrined in countless dress codes across the country. That kind of thinking is only a few steps below “that witch hexed me into lusting after her!” DiPaolo isn’t the only students or former student to have expressed these concerns or fought this battle. There have been viral stories, like that parent of a female student who invited the school’s principal to go shopping with them to see how absurd the dress code was an how difficult it was to meet. There are adults fighting similar battles against what’s considered inappropriate for grown women vs what men are allowed to do. There are even cases where men are directly impacted — right now in Europe, there are numerous men wearing skirts to protest their companies’ bans on wearing shorts during soaring temperatures. Though, honestly, skirts have to be way more comfortable. Maybe they’ll stick with them. And maybe society should care a little less about how people decorate their meat prisons.
I guess Irina Shayk was feeling a little unattractive, or unloved, being a mom is a disgusting job even with all the staff that you know her and brad cooper can afford…and she put out a throwback thursday of her topless to get some of what she misses…because she’s just a typical girl who values her looks more than anything, it’s really why she exists…and she wants you to value that too…and I do…even though I know the truth is a totally different Irina Shayk exists now that she sold her uterus off for her retirement plan…you know a baby feeding, even though she’s just playing the part of mom, as Russians have no soul…is as depressing and this toplessness that comes from a sad place… Here she is in some shoot that is post pregnancy and hardly slutty enough – because she’s a respectable woman….so sophisticated and classy knowing she has child support for life.. The post Irina Shayk’s Unpublished Titty Pic for Instagram of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
