Bella Thorne is showing off the now trendy way to pose in a bikini. On her knees. I guess this is inspired by porn girls rocking their private snapchats / cam sites…this pose is all too familiar…and seems trashy, sleazy and thus great…. A girl on her knees is a sexual image to you perverts….but you gotta keep in mind it’s also the way a girl prays when at church…therefore this may not be a product of the mainstream-ification of pornography…. I am convinced there will be a big going back to god like they were Bieber, Baldwin, Gomez and the Jenners….who live vapid and empty, morally disgusting lives, that leave a stain on society and that go against any and all moral code of society… but go to church cuz they are just that fucked up… I think finding god will be a trend that will happen to all the IG girls after they stop getting naked, going TRANS, fighting #metoo shit, and pretending to be feminists with their tits out… Or maybe the on your knees bikini post makes asses look rounder, fatter, cuz the heels push them out and up…and is a timeless pose girls are HYPED they can post without alienating the same people who hire them. Who cares. The post Bella Thorne On her Knees for a Bikini Butt Shot of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Source: screen gems / Screen Gems When it comes to the complex relationship between law enforcement and Black people , the discomfort and disconnect seemed to heighten over the last ten years with technology being so advanced. Thanks to cell phones, the world gets to a real-live police brutality incident go down right before their eyes— causing an even deeper distance between those in Blue and folks with Black skin. But what if you happen to be both; Black And Blue . Deon Taylor ‘s new action flick tells the story of just that. Rookie cop, played by Oscar nominated actress Naomie Harris , inadvertently captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam. After realizing that the murder was committed by corrupt cops, she teams up with the one person from her community who is willing to help her ( Tyrese Gibson ) as she tries to escape both the criminals out for revenge and the police who are desperate to destroy the incriminating footage. I visited the set of the the thriller flick on day 28 of their 30th day of shooting and watched on as they filmed one of the more emotionally intense scenes of the film. Naomi’s character visits her mother’s grave accompanied by an old childhood friend (Tyrese) as she enlists his help to bust the corrupt officers. Their fellow cast members Mike Colter , Frank Grillo and Beau Knapp were also on set filming on that misty, New Orleans afternoon in Lafayette Cemetery. I caught up with director Taylor, Harris and Tyrese and more of the cast as they dished on all things Black and Blue. And one thing that every actor in the film had in common is their love and respect for their director, Deon. When asked what drew him to this particular film, Mr. Taylor shared with the panel of journalists: “I’m an independent filmmaker first. I’ve been doing this by myself for so long that I didn’t want to do anything studio wise. But when this script came to me, I just went crazy because I had never seen a film based around a female, Black police officer. And that’s just everything that I wanted to do.” On preparing for her role as a police office, Naomi told us: “I was able to draw on a lot of stuff that I did before because when I did Miami Vice, I did lots of undercover work, so I was out with the police and doing raids–I actually did a real drug sting. It was really exciting and terrifying.” Tyrese added that taking on such a gritty role in Black and Blue definitely challenged him as an actor. “First thing was me and Deon go back like six years. So once I got that call, my ears literally lit up. And on that call. I was saying to Deon, when you’re apart of these big franchised, it’s a gift and sometimes can work against you. Because these dark, dramatic roles that really require you to go there and peel back the layers — you get overlooked as an actor. They’ll say ‘Oh, he’s that guy from that thing.’ So the seriousness of a Naomi got me in the game of top. I was ready to make that statement.” As we chatted with the entire cast during their break, Deon Taylor opened up about his own personal relationship with law enforcement as a Black man, saying: “I’ve been affected by police officers in many different ways. From the patrolling, when I was younger, in terms of keeping people in certain areas and having a negative reaction to that in the Chicago area, and with how people police you, vs now, living in a different [area] and seeing how the police act there. You have to be a realist and understand, ok they patrol this way here, and they patrol that way there.” “That’s one of the biggest themes in the film — Alycia being from the inner city, coming back to the inner city as a cop and how people look at her and what they say to her. And she has to find out the hard way that people don’t view her as a black female cop. They view her as a cop. She’s trying to make a breakthrough. There are so many different experiences and what we try to actually do is push all of that into one film. The movie takes a complete turn based on the fact that when she’s in trouble, someone from the neighborhood helps her and breaks code. And everything that we’re taught not to do, this character does.” With everything going on in the world today regarding law enforcement, this film is a must see. The highly anticipated Screen Gems flick is in theaters nationwide October 25th.
Brooke Candy is the first stripper that I know of who turned to shitty internet rap the hipsters loved – before HIPSTER was mainstream and everyone was doing it…. She was the basis or foundation of the IGGY AZALEA character that was created through fake asses and fucking black dicks. People thought she was edgy, or interesting, and it wasn’t even that long ago…but I guess nothing was THAT long ago, our lives are short and miserable even when they are long…100 years…that’s barely any time…and most of us die by 80…. Point being, to stay edgy, she posts shit like this, her body all marked up by what could be a retarded kid with a marker she fucks, or prison tattoos. I never bought into anything she did, I never found it cool or interesting. I always though tit was attention seeking and trash….and I was right….but she’s still out there trying to get noticed tits out on INSTAGRAM.. Here is her audition to become the next BTK victim….you know Beth Ditto got a career revival in the new Kirsten Dunst show, why not Brooke Candy… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Source: James Devaney / Getty The Big Baller Brand dynasty might be falling apart already. A recent episode of the family’s Facebook reality show Ball In The Family highlighted the rift between LaVar Ball and his son Lonzo Ball. Looks like we aren’t the only ones tired of LaVar Ball and his antics. Lonzo Ball who’s frustrations with the BBB has been well documented is also seemingly on the outs with his pops. Since his arrival into the NBA, Lonzo has failed to live up to the hype the patriarch of the Ball family created around him. His two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers have been mid, at best, and marred by injuries. Plus on top of that, the brand that folks thought would revolutionize the athletic sportswear world, BBB has been looking real shaky as of late. After Lonzo accused Big Baller Brand’s co-founder of Alan Foster of stealing money millions from him and the brand. As a result, the only Ball to make it the league so far, distanced himself from the brand. He also covered up his BBB logo tattoo , and trash his signature sneaker the Z02’s in an interview. In the latest episode of the basketball family’s reality show, the rift between father and son is even more evident. Lonzo’s disdain of his dad is on full display as he opts not to partake in any activities involving LaVar. He reluctantly shows up to a meeting about the future of the brand and feels the brand should be renamed due to scandal. LaVar vehemently disagrees and takes a shot at his son in the process. “When I come up with a name, and there’s somebody telling me to change it, that’s like telling me to change your name. That’s like people saying, ‘Hey, change Lonzo’s name to Alfonso on the fact that he been damaged goods for the last two years.’” Looks like the Lonzo is genuinely over the theatrics and when he starts over fresh in New Orleans, he would prefer his father not be around.

Even though Drake has proven to be a chill guy he still is about that petty life. It seems he has taken a jab at his Calabasas neighbor. Complex is reporting that the 6 God was seen wearing a very interesting piece over the weekend. Aubrey was sporting a grey hooded sweatshirt with “Ye Must Be Born Again” printed across the chest. While the brand, Cactus Flee Market, intended the piece to signify a “fresh start”, Hip-Hop fans took it as a subtle jab at none other than Kanye West. For the last year the Chicago MC has been waiving the Christian flag with his Sunday Service live performances. Prior to that his last studio album Ye , a double entendres for his nickname and the pronoun most used throughout the Bible.

After an exciting week where she showcased her Savage X FENTY line and held her 5th Annual Diamond Ball , Rihanna’s weekend consisted of a cultural outing to see the Broadway show “Slave Play” by Jeremy O. Harris. Page Six reports the singer stopped by the Golden Theatre on Saturday with her family for the sold-out preview night performance. The tabloid reports she texted with the show’s playwright after the show before heading backstage. Source: Photo courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway / Courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway “He invited her to the show,” a source told Page Six of Harris, who clicked with Rihanna when he attended her Savage x Fenty fashion show and Diamond Ball gala. Rihanna may not be acting in “SLAVE PLAY,” which critics have billed as provocative and explosive, but she does have a role in the show, sort of. RihRih’s hit song “Work” is featured in the show and her lyrics are also displayed on the set. Doesn’t thinks have you soooo curious? A play about slavery, sort of, that features an international pop hit? Has to be pretty cheeky. A release for the production describes it thusly: The old South lives on at the MacGregor Plantation—in the breeze, in the cotton fields…and in the crack of the whip. It’s an antebellum fever-dream, where fear and desire entwine in the looming shadow of the Master’s House. Jim trembles as Kaneisha handles melons in the cottage, Alana perspires in time with the plucking of Phillip’s fiddle in the boudoir, while Dustin cowers at the heel of Gary’s big, black boot in the barn. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is as it seems. Sounds BEYOND creative. We can only imagine! Rihanna wasn’t the only celebrity to see the show this weekend, Zendaya attended on Sunday. Source: Photo courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway / Courtesy of SLAVE PLAY on Broadway By the way, for those who haven’t already guessed Jeremy O. Harris is a REALLY big deal, “SLAVE PLAY” won the Rosa Parks Playwrighting Award, the Lorraine Hansberry Playwriting Award, The Lotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences and the 2018 Paula Vogel Award. Robert O’Hara, who is an Obie winner, is the director. Sounds like something we need some tickets for. Holla.
