When I was a teenager, if you wanted to give your ex a message, you'd tell a friend or stick a note on his car. These days, the kids do it passive-aggressively on social media. Fresh off her breakup with Tyga, Kylie Jenner is seemingly sending a message to her ex through song on Snapchat. The lip kit maven posted a video of herself lip syncing to Beyonce's “Hold Up,” a new track from “Lemonade,” which we know is all about cheating . “They used to hide from you, lie to you,” she mouthed to camera through a kooky green-faced filter. It's not the first or even thousandth time Kylie has sung to Snapchat, but this particular song choice in the wake of a breakup is telling, if not a classic adolescent move. She went on to faux-perform another diddy about infidelity, this time through a zebra filter and crooning to “Losin' Control” by Russ. “Should’ve ended it before it started. All she ever got was brokenhearted,” she sang in the video, posted below. “He was cheating on her, tryna flip it back on her like a victim.” So, is she saying Tyga cheated on her? Because lord knows there were a gazillion rumors suggesting just that. Kylie hasn't spoken publicly about the split, which was confirmed earlier this week. However, a source told TMZ that Kylie and Tyga broke up because the two had different goals and wound up fighting about everything. Tyga talked to reporters about the relationship twice this week. He broke his silence by stating that he was doing “good” post-breakup and just trying to work and “evolve.” Then yesterday, he told paparazzi that he will always love Kylie , adding that “sometimes things just don't work out.”
If you’re going through a separation, try to avoid the back-and-forth deliberation in front of others. Yes, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, I’m talking to you. This is worse than the time Charlotte York-MacDougal separated from Dr. Trey MacDougal in what was the longest storyline in Sex and the City ‘s history (according to me). On July 30th 2015, Affleck and Garner issued a joint statement confirming that their ten-year marriage was over. “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce. “We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.” As is customary with a very public marriage, the breakdown of theirs was all over the papers. Did Affleck cheat on Garner? Was Garner too irritating as a wife? Did Affleck bop the 20-something nanny and give her a Lexus ? Ben Affleck Oscars Speech Fast-forward almost a year, and the estranged couple seem to be on good terms. So good that they took their children to Paris for a family vacation. “Ben wants Jen back ,” a source told People Magazine. “Ben wants to get back together. He wants her back.” I think he wants her back. What about Garner? Is she ready to put the past behind her and reconcile? “Jen is not ready to take Ben back,” another source said. “Ben has never been good alone and isn’t now either. But he is constantly working on himself. He has made big changes.” Ultimately, it looks like the couple – who have three children together – will forge ahead with the split. “Nothing has changed [in their relationship],” another source close to Garner and Affleck confirmed. “They’re still all about putting the kids first.” Rip the Band-Aid off, you two.

In case you missed last week’s episode (and avoided all forms of media for the past week), the big twist that shocked absolutely no one finally went down on Game of Thrones . Watch Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 3 Online Yes, Jon Snow is alive and…not well exactly, but he’s doing alright for a guy who got stabbed a few dozen times and woke up to find that someone gave him a summer bob cut while he was out. The aftermath of the Lord Commander’s resurrection could’ve been a shark jump moment for the show, but creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff kept the tone sufficiently dark (What did Jon see while he was dead? “Nothing.”) while at the same time conveying the astonished joy of the moment. (It’s nice to see an emotion displayed at the Wall other than seething, bloodthirsty rage.) Hell, they even delivered a little comic relief with a well-timed dick joke. (This still Game of Thrones , after all.) All-in-all it was a deftly handled sequence following a “twist” so anti-climactic it was lampooned in an SNL sketch this week. As Jon readjusts to life among the living, Sam and Gilly are sailing the high seas in low fashion. Sam’s headed for the Citadel; Gilly (much to her surprise) is bound for his childhood home. An odd choice, considering everything we’ve heard about how terrible Sam’s upbringing was, but hey – at least his mom is nice? After that, we get to a scene that Thrones fans (or Throners, as we like to call them) have been awaiting since the R + L = J theory first started circulating around the nerdier corners of the web. View Slideshow: 8 Best Game of Thrones Season 6 Fan Theories! Unfortunately, like Bran in warg form, we get stopped short just as we’re about to learn the truth about what really happened to Ned Stark’s “kidnapped” sister Lyanna. Frustrating, yes, but at least there was a badass sword fight first. Speaking of throwback moments, remember when Daenerys noshed on that stallion’s heart in Season One? The most badass of the Dothraki widows does, but that doesn’t mean she’ll let the Khaleesi go! Instead, her storyline continues to inch forward at a glacial pace, as we cut to another casual demonstration of power from Varys, who uses his powers of persuasion to procure some information about the rebellion against Dany and her army. Meanwhile, Tyrion tells Missandei and Grey Worm, “The history of the world is a history of great conversations in elegant rooms,” but it’s also a history of power struggles that turn into badass battles, which seems to be what’s about to go down in Meereen. Back in King’s Landing, Qyburn is using Varys’ tactics (and a little help from the terrifying hulk that is the undead Ser Gregor) to gather the necessary information to justify “crushing the High Sparrow’s head like a grape.” (They’re a poetic lot, those Lannisters.) Elsewhere, King Tommen is taking a more direct approach by confronting the Sparrow – and succumbing to his weird, sanctimonious brand of intimidation. That’s followed by more of the ugly side of religion (Is there any other side in Westeros?), as Arya gets beaten into telling her life story – a scene that somewhat heavy-handedly underscores the fact that this episode is all about coming to grips with the past. We’ll let you come to your own conclusions about how doing so literally opens Arya’s eyes. After that, get more blasts from the Stark family’s past as Rickon and Osha resyrface in the most unfortunate of places. Sure, it’s Winterfell – but it’s now under control of the new acting Warden of the North, Ramsay Bolton. It’s doubtful, but hopefully he’ll show the boy more mercy than Jon showed Ollie (who totally had it coming) when he executes the lad along with the rest of his attempted assassins. No surprise there – but we finally get a real Jon-related twist when he handed his cloak over to Dolorous Edd and resigned from the Night’s Watch. Phew. Yet another jam-packed episode with a sky-high body count. We’re still on the edge of our seats, but we can’t help but wonder how much longer can the show keep up this pace. Watch Game of Thrones online to try to make sense of everything that’s happened thus far in Season Six. View Slideshow: Game of Thrones Gambling Odds: Wager on Who Will Win the Iron Throne!
A woman named Keri Morrison is coming under extreme fire for a viral video that depicts her 13-month old nearly drowning. While Morrison just sits nearby. But there's a lot more to this story than some critics may realize. In the two-minute piece of footage posted below, the little girl (named Julia) is trying to grab a sandal that has fallen into the pool. But she quickly falls in herself. Instead of rushing to the rescue of someone far too young to swim, however, Morrison sits idly by, even as Julia is clearly having difficulty staying afloat. It's disturbing to watch and many Internet users have pointed to the video as an example of horrific parenting. However, Keri and her husband lost their two-year old son (pictured above) in a drowning accident not very long ago, causing them to be extra vigilant when it comes to the training of their children. Asked to defend her actions in this case by Fox News, Keri pointed to that tragedy and explained why she let her daughter flounder for so long: “Because I know the alternative; my son is no longer with us because he didn't have these skills.” She added: “To me, I'm protecting her and that is what a mother is supposed to do: protect her. I feel like I failed my son and I'm not going to fail my daughters.” What do you think of this strategy? Is it understandable, given the Morrisons' background? Might it pay off down the line? Or are they walking a very dangerous line if they try this again?
Zulu Nation Cuts Ties With Afrika Bambaataa After previously stating child molestation claims were all part of conspiracy to besmirch Bambaataa’s name, the Zulu Nation says it has cut all ties with Afrika Bambaataa. Per Pitchfork : A statement on Zulu Nation’s UK website, attributed to the international and regional U.S. Zulu Leaders, didn’t mention Bambaataa by name, but said, “As part of this restructure ALL accused parties and those accused of covering up the current allegations of child molestation have been removed and have stepped down from their current positions.” In addition to not naming Bambaataa specifically, the statement said the organization said it couldn’t condemn “one of our founders based on testimony through social media alone.” However, the statement added: “We also cannot dismiss the comments of parties asserting they have been harmed. We have a duty to search for truth.” The group also said it wanted to “extend great sympathy to anyone affected by such issues.” Throughout, the statement emphasized need for change within the organization, saying, “There shall also be a new move to work towards providing support for victims of abuse, rape and molestation and working more closely on other social issues existing in communities such as drug addiction, alcoholism and mental health.” This comes a few days after Bam’s former bodyguard said the hip-hop legend molested “hundreds of boys.” While fellow hip-hop legend KRS-One proudly stands by Chester The Molester, his Boogie Down Productions brother D-Nice is another story. Here’s what he posted on Facebook. I’m a father and a lover of hip-hop culture. I’m deeply disturbed and disappointed by what I’ve been hearing. We must protect our kids. The Bambaataa pedophilia allegations are heartbreaking and disgusting. If what they are saying is true, I have no respect for him or anyone that attempts to defend him.

As previously reported, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are currently in Havana, Cuba filming an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. So far, we know they’ve smoked some cigars . But a source recently revealed that they are not enjoying their time in Cuba, primarily because the Wi-Fi sucks. “They love the culture, but they don’t like the technology,” a source tells Page Six . “They’ve had an issue every two seconds about not having internet,” adds the source. “They complained they couldn’t get on Snapchat. They’re frustrated and they can’t wait to leave.” It’s true – all three of their Snapchat accounts have been suspiciously silent since they landed on the island nation. I don’t now how we’ve all managed here on the mainland without a constant influx of Kardashian selfies, but we’re pulling through. We’re Americans. But here’s the best part. You ready? The Cubans couldn’t give a rat’s ass much less turn a head for these women, because nobody knows who they are. “They don’t have reality TV in Cuba — the Kardashians aren’t a big deal,” continued the source. “They are like, ‘Who are you, why are you filming?’” Sorry, Kris. Your hard work doth not cross all borders. The insider added that the Kardashians simply “weren’t culturally prepared for Cuba,” and we’d call that an understatement. Yesterday, Khloe pissed everyone off when she posed underneath sign inscribed into a wall that read “Fidel.” Critics called her out for trivializing and/or glorifying Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator who oppressed his people for decades. Sounds like the Kardashians are finally clueing into the idea that not all countries celebrate narcissism and celebrity the way we do in the U.S. of A.

There are few things more disturbing than having a rat loose in your home. No matter what some Pixar movies try to tell you, these animals are not cute nor lovable nor great at cooking. They are really just very gross, sometimes carrying disease and pretty much always scaring the crap out of all they scurry past. So we certainly don't blame the woman in the following video for doing all she can to rid her home of a rat who has found his way up on a living room curtain rod. He's just running all around up there, having the time of his life. So, with her kids and her cat standing by, the woman grabs a trash bucket and a dust pan and she sets off to work. She hopes to just sweep the unwanted guest into the bucket, but she's having a lot of trouble. She has to resort to a tiny sand shovel at one point. And she falls down often. But she does keep at it, doing the best she can… … until her efforts prove futile, the rat gets away and ALL HILARIOUS HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Watch this video to see what we mean:
Caitlyn Jenner To Pose Nude With Olympic Medal Caitlyn is officially a true Kardashian . The transgender reality star is finally earning her K-wings by following in the family tradition of stripping it off and laying it out for the world to see in a national publication. Via USweekly : Now that’s a patriotic streak! Caitlyn Jenner will appear on a summer cover of Sports Illustrated wearing “nothing but an American flag and her Olympic medal,” a source reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. The 66-year-old I Am Cait star (formerly known as Bruce) set a world decathlon record at the 1976 Montreal Summer Games. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her win, she’ll pose with her gold medal for the first time post-transition, adds the source: “She’s excited about that.” (Her ex-wife Kris appeared topless with a medal during a 2007 photo shoot on Keeping Up With the Kardashians .) Damn…Caitlyn swears she’s Kris now, huh? Until now, Jenner says, she had stashed her “most prized possession” at the bottom of her makeup drawer. “I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success,” the father of Kylie, 18, Kendall, 20, Brody, 32, Brandon, 34, Casey, 35, and Burt, 37, wrote in an August 2015 blog post. “I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.” “I’m very proud of this,” the reality star said of her medal in a video accompanying the blog entry. “That was a great time in my life. But to be honest with you, it’s even a greater time in my life right now with what I’m trying to accomplish.” Well…um, good for her? Whatever. We guess if you don’t like it, don’t look. But we’re just hoping this shoot goes more demure route and not THIS direction… E! / Splash / WENN
The mother of Blac Chyna just upped the ante in her daughter’s feud with the Kardashian sisters. And she did it in hilariously unhinged fashion. With the Internet still buzzing over Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian actually being engaged , Tokyo Toni has taken to Instagram to make her thoughts on her impending relatives rather clear. Blac Chyna’s mom shared the following Photoshopped image of Kim Kardashian and company and wrote a rambling message as a caption that can be summarized with just a few bullet points: The siblings have large rear ends. They all had plastic surgery. None of them are invited to her daughter’s wedding. For some reason, after making this post live, Tokyo Toni expressed regret over her Kardashian bashing and said she would not do it again. “I know people look up to me,” she Tweeted, adding that she feels a need to make a “public apology to everyone [she] offended on IG, especially the Kardashians.” Why is she apologizing to these family members? “I just feel it’s being proper,” she wrote. Sure. We guess. But what if they really did threaten to kick Rob out of the family if he married Blac Chyna ? What then?!? View Slideshow: Kardashians React to Rob and Blac Chyna’s Engagement News
