Source: Splash / Splash News Today A$AP Rocky testified before the Swedish court in a plea to finally be freed from prison and told the judges that he actually begged the alleged victim to leave him alone. He also spoke about an alleged video that could have shown him hitting the victim with a bottle but A$AP claims that video doesn’t exist because he didn’t use the bottle as a weapon. via TMZ Rocky took the stand and admitted he and his crew “jumped” the alleged victim … but only after they threw punches at his bodyguard. The attorneys focused on a bottle A$AP was holding as he tried to stave the alleged victim away. He insisted, “I didn’t break any bottles,” but conceded his crew picked up bottles to “get them out of there.” He also said, “You got to realize my life is very unique and particular. I’ve been stabbed in the face and my home has been robbed at gunpoint twice. That’s why I have security.” This was in response to why he picked up the bottle. Rocky said his bodyguard tried various “tactics” to get the 2 guys away, to no avail. He says his bodyguard was trying to protect him but insists he didn’t “beat up the alleged victim.” TMZ posted video where you see the bodyguard pick the alleged victim up by his neck.

Julianne Hough poses naked in the latest issue of Women’s Health. And yet… somehow this isn’t the reason everyone is talking about this dancer’s cover story with that magazine today. How is that possible, you may be wondering, considering what Hough looks like? Easy: She tells the publication that, although she’s married to a man named Brooks Laich, she’s actually “not straight” and she once had a long talk with him about this fact. This is the sort of tidbit that overshadows even Julianne Hough’s nude body, you know? “I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’” the ex- Dancing With the Stars judge says in the September 2019 issue of Women’s Health, adding: “I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.’” The veteran television personality tied the knot with Laich in 2017 , following many years of being one of Hollywood’s best-known virgins. She famously dated Ryan Seacrest for a long time prior to getting with Laich. She explained to Women’s Health — for its annual “Naked Strength” edition — that her very personal “massive transformation” came four months after the couple’s wedding. “I think there’s a safety with my husband now that I’m unpacking all of this,” Hough continued. “And there’s no fear of voicing things that I’ve been afraid to admit or that I’ve had shame or guilt about because of what I’ve been told or how I was raised.” While Hough emphasized that her professional hockey player husband has been by her side this entire time, and that she’s happy she’s been so candid with him, she was still anxious to discuss parts of her journey with him. You can understand why, right? “I was connecting to the woman inside that doesn’t need anything, versus the little girl that looked to him to protect me,” she said, adding: “I was like, ‘Is he going to love this version of me?’ But the more I dropped into my most authentic self, the more attracted he was to me.” Props to Brooks Laich, huh? “Now we have a more intimate relationship,” Hough said of her marriage. Hough feels better than ever before about herself as well. “I’m going to shift for the rest of my life,” she told Women’s Health, concluding on this topic as follows: “I’m not like, ‘Oh, I got it.’ But I’m trusting myself now, and when I’m totally connected to me, I feel full. I want others to see that in themselves too.”
Get excited! The Season 10 premiere date for Alaskan Bush People is just days away! The looming premiere made this week a perfect time for Bear Brown to make a very exciting announcement. He has a gorgeous model girlfriend, and he’s excited to introduce her to the world. 31-year-old Bear Brown spoke to People about his girlfriend, Raiven Adams. “We met at my brother Noah’s wedding last year,” Bear reveals. Noah married his now wife, Rhain Alisha, in a small and beautiful ceremony last year. “Raiven was helping her mom, Kassy Michelle,” he shares. “Who was the photographer.” Bear continues: “Her mom has always had a passion for photography.” “And,” he adds. “Raiven helps her out with weddings and other photo shoots from time to time.” It sounds like, when the two of them met, sparks just flew. “We just agreed we both felt a connection,” Bear characterizes. That sounds wonderful! And then he starts getting into why he adores his girlfriend. He explains: “I would definitely say what I like most about Raiven would simply be Raiven herself,” “She is truly the full package,” Bear expresses. “She is like, beauty in every sense of the word,” Bear gushes about his stunning girlfriend. “Inside and out.” “And she is the most awesome and extreme woman I’ve ever met!” he adds. We all know how much Bear enjoys various extremes. Bear raves: “I adore her, honestly.” That is so sweet to hear. Raiven also spoke up, and shared what has made her so drawn to Bear. “The thing I like most about Bear is his ability to love unconditionally,” Raiven praises. Bear is definitely a sweet guy. “And,” she adds. “How he lives his life to ensure other people’s happiness.” That could almost be read as a dig against Billy, who seems to wield a lot of control over his adult children, but that might be overthinking things. So what have they been up to as a couple? “We’re enjoying summer on the mountain together,” Bear reveals. “And,” he continues excitedly. “Can’t wait to see what the future brings.” Gabe, Noah, Bam Bam, and even Matt have secured romantic happiness for themselves. It’s great that it’s Bear’s turn. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” he confesses. Awww! As has been the case with other lady loves of the Brown boys, Raiven seems to have taken up a friendship with Bear’s youngest sister, Rain. Rain is, by all accounts, a deeply likeable person — she certainly comes across that way on social media. Combine that with the fact that one family living on 435 acres of rural Wshington land can be a little lonely, and she’s bound to be a popular gal. Raiven and Rain are in multiple photos together. It’s great that they’re hanging out and getting along well with each other. For now, Raiven and Bear are just dating. But if Bear’s siblings are any indication, months of romance can turn into an engagement at the drop of a hat. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know
It’s been about four months since Jinger Duggar moved to LA , and it seems the city is beginning to leave its mark on the most rebellious Duggar daughter. Fashion has always been one of Jinger’s preferred modes of expression — she is, after all, the first Duggar woman of her generation to wear pants in public — and it seems she’s keeping the tradition alive by splurging on expensive threads. Several fans have noted that the always-stylish Jinger seems to be forever finding new fashion inspirations on the West Coast. And this week, she made what many consider to be her boldest fashion statement since she first donned a pair of Levi’s in violation of the strict Duggar dress code . Jinger posted the photo below earlier this week, and it’s attracted attention for two distinct reasons. For starters, this is the pic that clued fans into the fact that Jana is currently visiting Jinger in LA . (Jana posted a similar coffee-gram with the same tiled floor in the background, and fans instantly pieced it together because Duggar obsessives are a different breed.) But the biggest commotion had to do with the fact Jinger is rocking some seriously stylish shoes. There’s been no confirmation with regard to the designer, but fans seem convinced that Jinge is sporting a pair of Guccis. “Those look like Gucci shoes. Priiiiceey!!!” one follower commented. “I have Gucci shoes like these. I love them,” another remarked. Many fans praised Jinge for treating herself, living her best life, etc., with one commenting simply, “Good for you!” Now, if the masses are correct and Jinger is dressing her feet in Gucci, then she probably dropped nearly a thousand dollars in order to do so. So yeah, priiiiceey! is right. But Jinger might suffer consequences for her the purchase that go well beyond her monthly credit card statement. As you probably know, the Duggars are advocates for ” modest attire .” Typically, this means women covering just about every inch of their skin aside from their faces and hands. But the family is also not big on lavish displays of wealth. It’s an ironic stance, considering Jim Bob has devoted his life to the acquisition of wealth, but that’s how it is. Jim Bob makes the rules and his daughters follow them — and one of the rules at the moment is “dress like you’re poor.” There have already been rumors that Jim Bob and Michelle have disowned Jinger , though to be fair, those reports seem to be based on nothing other than the fact that they have yet to visit her in LA. It may not seem like much, but considering how much time and money the Duggars have to devote to their family, it’s a pretty big snub. And we’re guessing Jim Bob isn’t particularly thrilled with his daughter’s newfound taste for the finer things.

Earlier this week, a judge ruled that a Christian rapper’s copyright infringement case against Katy Perry could proceed to the trial stage. The rapper — who goes by the stage name Flame — claims that Perry’s 2013 hit “Dark Horse” is a ripoff of his song “Joyful Noise.” It’s a bit ironic, considering that title must have been used by about 40 bajiliion Christian recording artists before Flame came along, but that’s a conversation for another time. Now, you may be wondering what in the hell (pardon us, evangelical readers) all of this has to do with Jessa Duggar. Well, if you’re a fan of her family’s and you follow her husband on social media, then you might already be familiar with Flame, aka Marcus Grey. Grey is a longtime Duggar associate who was once interviewed by Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald, on the topic of race relations in America. Ben Seewald on Racial Unrest (There was a time when Ben tried to fashion a career for himself as a media figure who asks the tough questions. The less said about that phase, the better.) “Flame has been doing Christian hip hop for many years now,” Ben told the camera. “I started listening to some of Flame’s music a little over a year ago. I really appreciated the content of his music. We actually became friends.” Ben goes on to explain that his wife later became friends with Flame, and the couple even introduced the rapper to their then-infant son, Spurgeon. “During this visit we want to kind of introduce Flame to life in the country as opposed to life in the city,” Ben said when Grey’s visit to their was captured by TLC cameras. For years now, the Duggars have been outspoken critics of secular pop culture, and they’re especially chagrinned by what they see as overly-sexualized music directed at younger audiences. In other words, they’re probably not very big Katy Perry fans. This, combined with the unusually heated nature of Flame’s court battle against Perry (The singer even offered to perform her song live in front of the judge to make her case.) has led to rumors that Katy and Jessa don’t like each other. However, while it seems very likely that Jessa dislikes Katy, it seems equally likely that Katy has no idea who Jessa is. Besides, both women have so much on their plates these days that new enemies are probably the last thing on their minds. Katy has enough feuds to keep her busy for the next few decades. Meanwhile, Jessa just welcomed her third child . So as entertaining as it would be if these two started taking shots at one another on Twitter, sadly, it’ll probably never happen.

What happened on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way looked like a cute moment, if a little dramatic. Laura whipped out a vibrator and Aladin freaked out . A funny reminder of cultural differences that could easily be overcome, right? But maybe not. After the episode aired, Aladin purged all mention of Laura from his social media. Did that episode end their marriage ? “Jiggy-jiggy” is all fun and games until somebody gets a dose of reality. Producers for 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way asked Laura and Aladin how their first night together as a married couple went. Aladin clearly had no complaints, though he was a little bashful about the details. Laura, in the mean time, is an older woman and she knows what she wants to get out of life. She revealed to the camera that it was over in just two minutes. Her disappointment in her young, hot husband was palpable. So the following night, Laura decided that it was time to surprise Aladin with one of the toys that she had wisely brought with her to Qatar. See, before she left the US, she purchased a number of sex toys that she figured would be necessary. Laura, it turns out, figured correctly. She pulled out a vibrator and asked Aladin if he knew what it was. Aladin seemed confused, and asked if it was perhaps some sort of microphone. When Laura explained what it was, however, Aladin’s move quickly changed for the worse. He was transparently offended, and acted under the mistaken belief that this was some sort of affront to his masculinity or sexual prowess. He threatened to throw away the vibrator and then departed in a huff to go for a walk to cool off. Laura was clearly shocked by his juvenile, petulant response to what should have been a sexy, educational conversation. Unfortunately, it looks like their troubles had only just begun. Maybe Aladin hadn’t heard all that was said during the episode. Maybe he was mistakenly operating under the assumption that some of the conversations on camera would not be aired. Either way, it looks like he was not prepared for when the episode featuring the vibrator incident aired. After the episode aired, Aladin purged every single photo and video that included Laura, wiping her from his Instagram. The only trace of her was a moment in a highlight reel. And that’s not all. … Aladin also shared a message to his Instagram Stories. “You can’t force someone to respect you,” the text-based message begins. The Story continues: “But you can refuse to be disrespected.” Clearly, whether it’s an issue of personal immaturity or cultural misunderstanding (or both), Aladin felt disrespected. However he felt about the original incident, seeing it play out on screen made his feelings even more strongly negative. It sounds like Laura’s suggestion that they include sex toys in their “jiggy-jiggy” time made him feel like she had dismissed him as a lover. That’s not true, of course. Laura has every right to want to have orgasms of her own. Now … is their marriage over? We don’t know for sure, but it’s worth remembering that Aladin and Laura have had arguments and blocked each other on Instagram before. Maybe this is just another spat. Or maybe Laura is headed back to America with her tail between her legs, where at least she can orgasm in peace. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance The Other Way Spoilers: Do Tiffany and Ronald Make It?
Back in 2017, Selena Gomez underwent a life-saving kidney transplant . The donor was her longtime friend Francia Raisa, who risked her life in a procedure riddled with complications. Thankfully, both Gomez and Raisa survived the procedure. Their friendship, on the other hand, has officially been pronounced dead. According to a new report from Radar Online, Selena and Francia have not spoken in over nine months. “They haven’t talked at all since October,” a source close to the situation tells Radar. The news comes as a shock to many, as Selena repeatedly sang Francia’s praises in the weeks after her surgery. “She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me,” Gomez told Elle at the time. “I am incredibly blessed.” Selena tells the magazine she was so frail at one point that she was completely unable to perform the simplest of household tasks. “I couldn’t pick up my dog — he’s 16 pounds. That was rough. I couldn’t walk him.” Despite her brush with death, there are certain lifestyle changes that Selena simply refuses to make. For example, while many who have had issues with their kidneys choose to steer clear of alcohol and other substances that might tax the organs, Selena has proudly proclaimed that she still enjoys the occasional glass of wine. “As far as my personal life, someone sees me having a glass of wine? I could give two sh-ts,” she told Elle . “I’m not trying to hide. That’s my life.” While that’s certainly her prerogative, the folks at Radar speculate that Selena’s continued partying may have played a role in Rasia’s decision to end the friendship. Selena checked into rehab back in February, and many of her friends reportedly believe that drinking is one of the activities she should avoid for the sake of both her physical and mental wellbeing. We may never know exactly what led to the falling-out between Selena and Francia. But if Gomez was the one to pull the plug on the friendship — as is currently being rumored — we hope she can find it in heart to forgive her former friend. After all, she literally carries a piece of Raisa with her everywhere she goes.
Source: Cook County Department of Corrections / Cook County Department of Corrections R. Kelly To Be Arraigned In Racketeering Case In Brooklyn This Week R. Kelly’s lawyer has hit back at the federal government’s claims that his client exposed women to venereal disease as part of his racketeering case. Douglas C. Anton wrote in court papers that there was “zero evidence” to support the government’s allegations that Kelly had infected a witness known as “Jane Doe,” with herpes during sexual encounters. Anton said that although the feds assert that they have Kelly’s medical records, he questioned the manner that they procured Kelly’s records and wondered if the government could prove that the woman and Kelly had the same strain of the virus or who first contracted it. Jane Doe No. 5 “has had her civil case pending for some months and she has not been able to prove a scintilla of her allegations and has offered no evidence to support her claims that Robert gave her herpes,” Anton wrote to the judge. The lawyer said Kelly as been a law-abiding citizen for all of his life, and like anyone, has had consensual sex with “various people throughout his life, possibly more than normal people because he is a rock star.” But that didn’t mean that he did anything wrong, Anton insisted in court papers that were obtained by BOSSIP. Kelly’s lawyer’s allegations were made as part of court docs to persuade the judge to allow Kelly to be released on bail. Kelly is set to be arraigned on Friday, where he will enter a plea in the case. Anton wants Kelly released on his own recognizance, arguing that he’s surrendered his passport and is so broke that he and his other lawyers are working for free. The judge has not ruled on whether or not to grant Kelly bail.
