Stella Maxwell is some overrated – strategic – enterprising – not that hot – or wasn’t that hot when she was playing the hipster model – who has turned it all around through scamming proper – by sitting at the right table – buy fucking the lesbian celebrities to increase her value – and who is now in a relationship with Kirsten Stewart, the girl who has never been that interesting, always weir and lost looking, and likely easy to come in and manipulate – I mean Stella Maxwell did it….but then again she’s tactical and has made magic happen – if you think being a VS model who bangs actresses is magic – which I’m sure you do. It’s a lot of hype and here’s a topless shoot of her. The post Stella Maxwell Naked of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

The broadcast had marketed itself around Lil Wayne and his massively popular Carter III album – he was nominated for eight awards and was the feature performer. It felt like he was going to win Album Of The Year. But that distinction went to the very white and very safe Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand album. The message was clear as it has always been: the Grammys are going to use young, black popular artists to bring in viewers and buzz but they aren’t going to get the recognition of having put out the best bodies of work. In other words, the black artists are there for the show and everyone else is going to get the acclaim. I wrote that same article in 2010 when Beyonce was nominated for 10 awards, was the featured performer and lost out to Taylor Swift for Album of the Year. And again in 2014 when Macklemore beat out Kendrick Lamar for Rap Album. By 2015, I’d given up on the Grammys. So I was good and prepared when Beck beat Beyonce and Taylor Swift beat Kendrick and Adele beat Beyonce. And this year, I knew there was a Jeezy’s chance in Hell of Kendrick Lamar or Jay Z winning the Album Of The Year award. We’ve been here before and waiting for white folks to acknowledge black artistry as anything more than vehicles for revenue and glorified dumb shows is a fool’s errand. Despite me punting on being emotionally invested in the Grammys, I still have to cover them. So I watch. And I’m tired of seeing the same damn thing every year. I’ve never been one to say that black artists should stop attending, giving free publicity to an organization that doesn’t truly value their art beyond the money it brings. But I think it’s time. Beyonce, Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar are black pioneers. They’ve transcended the role of “simply” musicians. They are black excellence personified in three distinct ways. And especially in the last few years, they’ve each challenged white establishments and presented unwaveringly black art that will last forever. They’re icons. And I’m sick of watching them stand in the front row and act with grace and humility while less-deserving white folks* celebrate. I hate seeing these stars have to grit their teeth, sit there and take it. I don’t know if they feel demoralized but I feel demoralized watching it. The Grammys have long lost any relevance in terms of actual music discussions among black folks anyway. We don’t sit around in hair salons or barber shops arguing about which albums are the best based on Grammys. In fact, the only time we talk about the awards are when we discuss how upset we are when black artists get snubbed. I get it, though. The Grammys have a history of prestige but with each insanely idiotic award decision, the show and its trophies loses credence. I mean, who can take an award show seriously when Lemonade can’t even win Album of the Year (and Anti can’t even get nominated). By choosing to want to erase black excellence, the Grammy award has lost its luster. It doesn’t even reflect actual “best” in any discernible way. And what happens even if Beyonce finally wins Album of the Year one day? It won’t mean those white folks who are deciding who gets awards give a damn about black folks or our art. And until that moment comes we just keep looking at legendary black people reduced to gracious bystanders. What’s the point? There’s value of forcing black art and revolutionary messages into white spaces who want to silence us, so I won’t disparage any artist who wants to continue performing. But at the same time, if a white space only cares about the monetary bottom line, which that black art provides, then I’m not sure how much it’s worth it to raise our fists in performances only to continue getting ignored by the end of the night. I’d rather see our work end up elsewhere. Because without black folks, the Grammys are just the Country Music Awards. And who gives a s*** about that show? It’s here that I should talk about the myth of black people don’t support our own award shows. Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar gave a tremendous performance at the 2016 BET Awards and the former didn’t attend last year because she just had twins. And the idea that the Viacom-owned BET Awards is an example of our awards show is a whole different problematic issue. Still, black folks show up for award shows that recognize blackness. We don’t need the Grammys. Really, if black folks stopped paying attention, then what would realistically happen? Well, the Grammys would lose relevance, viewers and the black fuel that keeps those broadcasts running. Meanwhile, we can continue to celebrate our own excellence without the annual reminder that they don’t care about us. Let the Grammys wallow in its own self-created irrelevance. That’s a fair tradeoff if there ever was one. *Bruno Mars is the exception. He absolutely deserved all the awards he got. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that the Grammys still branded its show on the backs of black folks and gave the awards to someone else. But yeah, nothing but love for Bruno.

Rumors are swirlin’ around rapper Nas and actress Tasha Smith…could you see them being a thing?? Can OG Nas handle those loud-mouth cakes? Nasir was spotted Tuesday night with the actress. The two were leaving TAO in Hollywood, Tasha had a doggie bag in hand while Nas held the door open for her. Paparazzi caught them right after they step out the restaurant’s door. These two definitely looked like they were there for eachother, there’s no coincidence. Nas and Tasha Smith? pic.twitter.com/9dPmXdlv72 — spacious spencer. (@fckwithWILLY) January 24, 2018 Tasha is 46, Nas is 44! They probably have a lot of things in common aside from both splitting from their partners. Tasha split from her husband back in 2015 and Nas split from Nicki a few week ago. I guess we will have to wait and see if this is REAL. Do YOU think these two would make a succesful pair?

When the world first learned that Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child , it was widely assumed that she would share every detail of her pregnancy, just as she had shared every detail of every other aspect of her life up to that point. Fans braced themselves for Kylie’s line of maternity wear, her frequent baby bump selfies, and her inevitable parenting book. However, it seems that no one considered the possibility that Kylie would take a different tack entirely and simply disappear. Yes, there was a time when the idea of Kylie taking an extended break from social media would’ve been as absurd as the thought of a reality TV star being elected president. But as it stands, Kylie hasn’t been seen on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram–where she reigns supreme with an astonishing 100 million followers–in over two months. Sure, she’s posted in that time, but none of her photos have been recent, and none of her captions have given any real insight into what’s going on in her life. Given that the success of Kylie’s many business ventures relies almost entirely on her status as social media queen, it’s no surprise that profits have taken quite a hit in recent months. As Radar Online reports, Kylie’s cosmetics line –once the crown jewel of her empire–is currently in crisis mode following a period of plummeting sales. To understand how bad things have gotten, one needs only to look at the past few days: Wednesday marked the launch of five new shades of Kylie’s brand of liquid lipsticks. Typically, the release of a new color is a site-crashing event, and the shades sell out within minutes. This time, however, the products are still available nearly 36 hours after they were released. That may not sound like a disaster, but this is the same makeup line that launched just over a year ago and has very nearly made Kylie a billionaire at age 20. That kind of wealth wasn’t generated from products that sit on the virtual shelves for several days after their launch. Kylie’s “lip kits” thrive on artificial scarcity. They’re like Beanie Babies or iPhones for Kardashian-obsessed Millennials. Without Kylie hawking her wares on Instagram, her fans see the kits as what they are: Overpriced makeup that can be purchased for a third of the price at Target. Kylie’s empire is built in large part on illusion, and it seems the hard reality of impending single motherhood is making difficult for her to keep up appearances.

We have a pretty major and surprising update on the sudden death of Joel Taylor. As previously reported, the former Storm Chaser star was found dead on Tuesday, passing away at the very young age of 38. Multiple friends and ex-co-workers took to social media to confirm the sad news and also to pay tribute to Taylor, who graduated from the University of Oklahoma and who was rose to fame on the aforementioned Discovery Channel reality show. He was admired by nearly everyone in the field of meteorology. At the time of these reports and Twitter posts, however, the circumstances around Taylor’s death was unknown. And the same could be said for his cause of death. Now, however, TMZ and People Magazine have provided many more details on just what transpired Tuesday morning. For starters, Taylor died on board the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship Harmony of the Seas. It left from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico after his corpse was discovered by a fellow passenger. “The U.S. Coast Guard in San Juan, Puerto Rico was notified today in the afternoon by the Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas cruise ship that they had a death on board,” Ricardo Castrodad, public affairs officer for the Coast Guard’s San Juan sector, told People. Taylor’s family has reportedly identified his body. At the time of Taylor’s passing, the ship was hosting Atlantis Events’ all-gay Caribbean Cruise; Olivia Newton-John was the headlining act. According to TMZ sources, drugs were prevalent on board the cruise liner. It seems as though Taylor was partaking, per a law enforcement official who said the following to the celebrity gossip site: “It appears the death could be an overdose and Joel Taylor was consuming controlled substances.” A passenger who spent time with Taylor adds that he had consumed so much GHB on the dance floor early Tuesday morning that he was rendered unconscious and carried back to his cabin by two people. A few hours later, his body was discovered and the authorities were called in. TMZ goes on to write that the abundance of GHB, cocaine and ecstasy on the boat has triggered an FBI investigation . Numerous individuals were apparently arrested for possession before the cruise left Fort Lauderdale and this agency will be looking into how the drugs ended up on board the ship. And not merely on board, either, but on board in significant quantities. Taylor’s close friend and former colleague Reed Timmer was among the first to publicly mourn his passing on social media. “RIP my best friend and storm chasing partner, Joel Taylor. I am shocked and absolutely devastated by the loss of my incredible, caring friend,” Timmer Tweeted along with image of the pals when they were chasing storms together since 2008. He added: “We chased so many intense storms, and I wish we could have just one more storm chase. I’ll miss you forever, Joel. We lost a legend.” Added the Discovery Channel in a statement: “We are so saddened to hear about Joel’s passing. We will always remember him fondly as an incredible meteorologist and driver of ‘The Dominator.’ “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this difficult time.” We echo this sentiment. May Joel rest in peace. View Slideshow: 28 Reality Stars Who Died Way Too Young

It can be tough to tell exactly what’s going in the relationship between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. It’s been almost two years since Miley and Liam got back together after putting their relationship on hold for several months, and the couple’s been making up for lost time ever since. From the time they first went public with their reconciliation, rumors of Miley and Liam getting engaged were everywhere on social media. Of course, unlike most celebrity couples, Miley and Liam didn’t shy away from reports that they were planning to tie the knot. In fact, at one point, Miley seemed to confirm the engagement … before dialing her statement back and stating that she doesn’t “envision” marriage in her future. Well, if a new report from Radar Online is to be believed, it seems Miley’s vision of the future has changed considerably. The outlet is reporting today that Miley and Liam got married on New Year’s Eve in his native Australia. Sources claim the couple flew to the Byron Bay area, where they were joined by members of his family, who witnessed the exchange of vows. One insider says Miley and Liam weren’t planning to get hitched when they flew to New South Wales, but made a spontaneous decision to tie the knot after being blown away by the beauty of the region. “It felt right they are husband and wife after tying the knot in secret in Byron Bay,” say the source. In the weeks since the ceremony, both Liam and Miley have kept relatively low profiles, but witnesses say they’re both sporting wedding bands. We suppose there’s no reason not to believe this report. After all, Miley and Liam have been together on and off since 2009, and they’ve openly discussed the possibility of marriage on several occasions. Still, we can’t help but wonder why they would choose to keep this development under wraps. Miley isn’t exactly the shy, retiring type, after all. One would think she’d be eager to share big news like this with her legion of fans. Then again, this isn’t the tongue-wagging, weed smoking Miley of yore that we’re dealing with. Sources say Liam has made it clear that he prefers to keep his private life private, and Miley has reportedly agreed to respect those wishes. Of course, if dude doesn’t like the spotlight, he shouldn’t have married Miley Cyrus … which he probably didn’t … unless he did … Sigh … we’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
