Dot was part of a tribute episode put together for Complex’s Open Late With Peter Rosenberg . “He just always had a smile on his face, and that’s something that I commend,” said Kendrick. “No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it—always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy.” He added, “It wasn’t no misery loves company with him. He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back, it made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile.” “No matter what he was going through… always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile too.” @KendrickLamar remembers Mac Miller tonight on 'Open Late' pic.twitter.com/x4dJ3enLfn — Complex Open Late (@ComplexOpenLate) September 12, 2018 Smoke DZA, Jeff & Eric Rosenthal of ‘ItsTheReal’ and New York mag music critic Craig Jenkins also spoke on Miller.

He recently admitted he fought his own demons when it came to drugs. In a series of tweets the So So Def Records star revealed he had a serious problem when it came to prescription-strength cough syrup. Apparently Shad was pouring up heavy about 10 years ago and it almost cost him his life. “To the youth- Stop with these dumb ass drugs. Im going to let something out. When me and omarion worked on FACE OFF album. I was high off lean everyday! When yall saw me on BET going off on torae i was high off lean. My attitude everything changed. My fans started to…”.

My fans started to… — Bow Wow (@smoss) September 10, 2018 He went to further detail how he missed shows during Chris Brown’s 2007 Up Close & Personal tour due to his addiction. “I never felt a pain like that ever. It was summer but i was walking round with 3 hoodies on because i was so cold. I missed the chicago show of that tour baltimore show BECAUSE I WAS F***ING HIGH AND SICK!!!! that sh*t is not cool and i was doing it to be cool!” he explained. And to no one’s surprise his infamous in studio rant on BET was fueled by lean. His posts soon turned to an anti-drug PSA for teens. Moss encouraged young people to abstain from drugs and live a clean life. “Kick that sh*t! Be a good son or daughter. Be the best you. Ima start being more vocal. We gotta save the youth from going out early”. Kick that shit! Be a good son or daughter. Be the best you. Ima start being more vocal. We gotta save the youth from going out early.

Most recently he allegedly lost it a Growing Up Hip Hop taping in August. Let’s hope him urging kids to don’t do drugs becomes to the new #BowWowChallenge . Via Vibe Photo: WENN.com
Valerie Goodloe/Splash News Viola Davis Takes Issue With Her 2011 Film ‘The Help’ Viola Davis ‘ role in The Help earned the actress several awards, but now she says she regrets playing the part of a black maid working for a white family during the Civil Rights Movement. During a Q&A with The New York Times , the Academy Award winner dropped a bombshell when she said quite plainly, “Have I ever done roles that I’ve regretted? I have and The Help is on that list.” Before stating her piece , Davis made sure to show a little love to the cast and writer/director, Tate Taylor . “But not in terms of the experience and the people involved because they were all great,” she continued. “The friendships that I formed are ones that I’m going to have for the rest of my life. I had a great experience with these other actresses, who are extraordinary human beings. And I could not ask for a better collaborator than Tate Taylor.” Nonetheless, she wasn’t happy with the end result. “I just felt that at the end of the day that it wasn’t the voices of the maids that were heard. I know Aibileen. I know Minny. They’re my grandma. They’re my mom. And I know that if you do a movie where the whole premise is, I want to know what it feels like to work for white people and to bring up children in 1963, I want to hear how you really feel about it. I never heard that in the course of the movie,” Davis explained.
Poor Luann de Lesseps has been so embattled during her recovery from alcoholism . She could always use another friend — and there’s good news. Luann’s friend Barbara Kavovit will be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City . This won’t be the first time that viewers have heard what she has to say on the show, however. … Us Weekly confirms that Barbara Kavovit is joining The Real Housewives of New York City ! Barbara, who runs an on-the-go bag business called DIYva, is known for her friendship with Luann de Lesseps. Given Luann’s recent struggles with sobriety and the hurtful claims that some have made about her recovery, fans will be happy to see Luann have another ally in the room. It is unclear whether Barbara will be a Full Housewife or not, and Bravo has declined to confirm that Barbara is joining at all just yet. But given that Carole Radziwill has just departed after six seasons of that status, someone has to fill that role. Back in Season 9, Barbara had an off-camera discussion with Carole Radziwill about Tom D’Agostino, who was, at the time, Luann’s fiance. She didn’t show up on camera in the episode, which aired in May of 2017, but fans could hear her voice because it was picked up by Carole’s mic. “I think she has something to prove,” Barbara could be heard speculating about Luann’s determination to get married. If you’ll recall, everyone tried to talk her out of marrying this man who was clearly no good for her. To no avail. “She’d rather go through with it and get divorced than call it off,” Barbara assessed. It was reported that Barbara tried her best to prevent the audio from airing. She and Luann are friends. After all, in May of 2017, Luann and Tom were still married. But that wouldn’t last much longer. Their 8-month marriage came to a crashing halt in August of that year. (You know, just how Barbara and Bethenny and everyone else had told her that it would) Clearly, Barbara’s little bit of gossip that aired hasn’t hurt her friendship with Luann in the long run. They were spotted hanging out together just last month! As we mentioned, Carole has departed from the series. “After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONYC , I have decided to return to what I do best,” Carole said in a statement. Carole clarified that she means that she will be focusing on “journalism and producing.” “I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind,” she writes. That is a very generous assessment. Every Housewife has fans and haters in droves. “My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years,” Carole explains. That definitely sounds a lot better than Bethenny and I stopped being friends and this isn’t fun anymore . “And,” Carole continued. “I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament.” “I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind,” Carole says. Carole’s statement concludes: “I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy.” Let’s hope that Barbara Kavovit enjoys her stay.

It’s been a while since Lena Dunham has done anything to warrant the attention of us slavering hellhounds in the gossip-sphere. It could have to do with the fact that she’s adopted a more low-key lifestyle these days and turned her attention to, in her words, “pursuing slow meaningful spiritual progress.” Of course, it’s equally possible that we all simultaneously decided to stop regularly checking her social media accounts for any number of valid reasons. (Public interest in her personal life has been on the decline ever since Girls ended; she seems to google herself constantly despite being cursed with very thin skin; Lena-related gossip frequently centers around “hard pass” subject matter like vaginas crammed full of pebbles , etc.) Whatever the case, there’s less Lena in your life these days, and we don’t need a focus group to know that you’re probably okay with that. But the never-reliable Star magazine decided to dip its toe back in the Lena pond this week, and despite the high probability that this story is total BS (again, Star magazine) we decided it’s amusing enough to share with you. As you may recall, back in January, Lena and Jack Antonoff broke up after six years of dating. By all accounts, the split was mutual and amicable, but it seems Lena misses more about the relationship than just quipping “I hope you bought Anton a drink first!” every time someone said her boyfriend’s full name. An “insider” tells Star that Lena is still hung up on Jack in a big way, and her obsession is beginning to take a toll on his new relationship. “She calls Jack at least five times a day, all in the name of ‘friendship’ – and she always talks to him right before she goes to bed,” says the anonymous friend. “She’ll text him photos of her private parts at like 1 a.m. At that point, he just turns the phone off.” Not surprisingly, the source also claims that Jack’s new girlfriend, Carlotta Kohl, is less than thrilled with the situation. “Half the time she spent with him, he was on the phone with his ex!” says the tipster of a recent date between Jack and Carlotta. We figure September is a good time to get around to our New Year’s resolution of trying something new every day, so we’re actually gonna defend Lena instead of making a bunch of easy jokes at her expense. Here goes nothing: Lena Dunham is probably not sending unsolicited vadge pics to her ex-boyfriend, and the only way this source could sound more made-up is if it called the situation “steamy,” or used some other word that’s only ever been used by tabloid writers. Now if you’ll excuse us, this small act of decency has made us feel all out of sorts. We’re gonna go kick a puppy or vote Republican or something to balance ourselves out.

We now know why Dolores O’Riordan passed away in January. The former Cranberries lead singer was shockingly found dead in London several months ago, leaving this world at the relatively young age of 46. There were various theories as to what transpired at the time, with many outlets claiming O’Riordan’s death was related to her history of substance abuse. One irresponsible tabloid even alleged she had overdosed on sleeping pills . Now, however, per The BBC, coroner Shirley Radcliffe has completed her report and determined that the artist died due to a “tragic accident.” She drowned in her hotel bathtub after drinking a lot of alcohol. According to this doctor and her findings, there were no signs of injury or self-harm found during the post-mortem examination. The BBC goes on to say that authorities discovered a bottle of champagne and five miniature bottles in O’Riordan’s hotel room, in addition to “containers of prescription drugs with a quantity of tablets in each container.” Moreover, toxicology tests revealed that O’Riordan’s blood contained “therapeutic” amounts of medication but 330mg of alcohol per 100mls of blood. This equates to “four times over the 80mg legal limit for driving.” In simpler terms: the singer was very, very drunk. But the official report does not state she intentionally drowned herself. Following the release of these findings, The Cranberries released a statement that reads: Today we continue to struggle to come to terms with what happened. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Dolores’ children and her family and our thoughts are with them today. Dolores will live on eternally in her music. To see how much of a positive impact she had on people’s lives has been a source of great comfort for us. We’d like to say thank you to all of our fans for the outpouring of messages and their continues support during this very difficult time. O’Riordan joined The Cranberries when she was only 18 years old. She quickly became an integral part of the band both for her voice and also her songwriting. The group, whose top hits include “Linger,” “Dreams,” and “Zombie,” sold over 40 million albums worldwide and had multiple Billboard Top 200 hits throughout the 1990s. O’Riordan released her first solo album in 2003. Six years later, the group got back together and released an acoustic album as recently as 2017. O’Riordan’s death came as a stunning tragedy to her friends and fans. The remaining band members have repeatedly paid tribute to O’Riordan on Twitter, saying shortly after she died: We are devastated on the passing of our friend Dolores. She was an extraordinary talent and we feel very privileged to have been part of her life from 1989 when we started the Cranberries. The world has lost a true artist today. Elsewhere, The Cranberries will releasing a new album, which O’Riordan had been working on with them before her death. It will contain previously unreleased material by the band, as well as other bonus material from the era and it will be released in October. O’Riordan leaves behind three kids – Taylor, Mollie and Dakota – as well as her boyfriend, Olé Koretsky. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: 32 Musicians Who Died Too Young

Getty Images Peter Gunz Engaged To His Younger Girlfriend While Still Married To Amina Sorry Tara . Amina Buddafly and Peter Gunz have gotten themselves in a new love triangle — and once again Peter is getting dragged by a baby mama for his dirty dog ways . The former Love & Hip Hop New York star was on Instagram Live recently bragging about the new lady in his life when Amina hopped in the comments and ripped him a new one. “Peter a sugar daddy now without the money. You don’t gotta show her to this mean would out her, but can u admit u dating a younger woman while you at the topic.

Source: Scott Legato / Getty Via | HipHopDX By now, most Hip Hop fans and artists alike have heard Machine Gun Kelly’s “Rap Devil,” his venomous diss track aimed at Eminem. Bizarre is one of them. Slim Shady’s former D12 compadre issued an ominous warning to MGK via Twitter on Monday (September 3) — but not before giving the Cleveland rapper some props. “Yes, I heard it,” he says. “I think it was good. I think this is the best I ever heard Mr. Kelly rap in his life. I think he stayed up all night and wrote the best possible bars he possibly could, and I think it’s good for Hip Hop. READ MORE
