Gucci Mane Brags About Being Drug Free Gucci Mane is riding on a different high ! The legendary ATL has been featured on numerous hit singles including the viral chart-topping #MannequinChallenge “Black Beatles” with the Rae Sremmurd boys since leaving prison. Gucci explains to Complex that he has transformed into a better person since being released and is quite confident about the glo up… “To me it’s kind of being more cocky. I love telling someone ‘Hey listen, I don’t do drugs…’ I take pride in it, I like the response. It definitely surprises people and kinda throws them off, but I don’t wanna be predictive. I don’t wanna do what everyone else do, I do this for me.” Gucci Mane is the real hood hero we need… #BlackBoysRockAndAreDrugFree IG
LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! Early on Tuesday, little known Donald Trump son Eric went into a voting booth and cast a vote for his father as President of the United States. No matter what you may think of the candidate, you can understand why his offspring would be proud to take this step. But Eric Trump then took another step, snapping a photo of his ballot and sharing it on Twitter. “It is an incredible honor to vote for my father!” he captioned the social media photo, adding: “He will do such a great job for the U.S.A! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.” Again, folks can debate whether or not they believe this to be true and we’ll know in a few hours on which side a majority of the country falls… … but one thing cannot be debated: What Eric Trump did was illegal. A federal judge recently upheld New York’s ban on ballot selfies. As NY1 reported on Friday, voters who are caught taking selfies inside of the voting booth can face a fine of up to $1,000 and one year in jail. Likely made aware that he had violated the law, Eric deleted the above Tweet after just a short while. But this is the Internet. It will live forever. “A last-minute, judicially-imposed change in the protocol at 5,300 polling places would be a recipe for delays and a disorderly election, as well-intentioned voters either took the perfectly posed selfie or struggled with their rarely-used smartphone camera,” the judge’s decision read. It concluded: “This would not be in the public interest, a hurdle that all preliminary injunctions must cross.” Justin Timberlake committed the same offense last week when he voted early in Tennessee and snapped a selfie of himself doing so. So perhaps Eric Trump just wanted to be compared to Justin Timberlake for the first time in his life. “I recently voted,” the singer joked to Jimmy Fallon after this incident went viral. “Super quiet, under the radar. Went home to Tennessee and voted. Super quiet, in and out. No one even knew.” We doubt Eric Trump will go to jail, but it’s ironic, isn’t it? His dad has spent months trying to make the case that Hillary Clinton is corrupt… and then here comes his very own son, committing an illegal action on the very say Donald hopes to be voted into office. So very ironic. At least we know who Eric Trump voted for. But who will YOU be voting for? Let us know below: And the Winner is?

According to a questionable new report, Chris Hemsworth has one simple piece of advice for his brother. When it comes to Liam Hemsworth’s engagement to Miley Cyrus, a tabloid claims that Chris is saying the following to Liam: GTFO, dude! Something called NW Magazine in Australia is the main magazine leading this charge. It alleges that Chris has spoken to Liam about all the ways in which Miley will break his heart… … but Liam is simply blinded by love for the singer. He won’t listen. “[Miley]’s dropping all these hints that she’s not marriage material, but [Liam]’s not catching on at all,” an insider tells this random pubilication. The so-called source adds: “While Miley may love [Liam], if they don’t get on the same page soon, it’ll only end in heartbreak for him.” It’s unclear exactly what kind of “hints” are being dropped by Cyrus in this regard. Yes, she recently appeared on Ellen and admitted that her engagement ring isn’t exactly her style . But she also said she wears it often because it means a lot to Liam. Oh, and she also ACCEPTED THE RING IN THE FIRST PLACE, meaning she must sort of love Hemsworth and want to marry him. As you can see immediately above and further down below, Miley and Liam made a rare public appearance as a couple this weekend. They attend a friend’s show at an art gallery, looking very happy and in love. This, despite HollywoodLife writing that Chris is “pushing [Liam] to get rid of Miley.” An anonymous mole, who we’re sure totally exists and was not invented by that website for the sake of getting clicks, references the same quote Miley gave to Ellen about her ring and says: “Chris got the vibe that this, along with other incidents, proves the singer isn’t serious or committed.” Miley isn’t a very serious person, that much may be true. Except for when it really matters. She has said that she won’t walk any future red carpets until the issue of poverty is fixed around the globe. That sounds like a serious statement, doesn’t it? And for someone who has often been accused of doing or saying anything for attention, she has done and said very little when it comes to her relationship with Liam. We actually think she takes it VERY seriously. She knows this is not something to flaunt on social media or use for publicity. It’s real, true love that only comes around once or maybe twice in a lifetime. View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Relive the Romance! We’re well aware that Cyrus and Hemsworth breakup rumors will persist until these two tie the knot And then they will turn into Cyrus and Hemsworth divorce rumors. That is just the sad way that the Internet works. But we’re choosing to believe in this couple. We’re choosing to believe in them forever and always.
After a long and tumultuous campaign season, the question of who will be President will finally be answered in a little over 24 hours. Either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States. That much we know. The rest is up to the voters. Let’s break down where things stand on the final day before an election unlike any other in history, and with so much at stake for America … As of Monday morning, polls show a modest but not insurmountable lead for Hillary Clinton, the baggage-laden Democratic nominee. She’s ahead of controversial Republican Donald Trump in both two-way matchups and a four-way race against Trump, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. Aggregators of polling data agree that her lead is somewhere in the range of 2-3 percent nationally, with similarly close races statewide. Is 2-3 percent within the margin of error? Indeed, and we can guarantee you Clinton is not measuring the Oval Office drapes yet. Nevertheless, she remains a modest favorite Tuesday. A few weeks ago, a more comfortable Clinton win seemed likely, and a landslide victory even felt like something within the realm of possibility. So much for that. Clinton led in national polls consistently by 6-7 points, benefiting from three strong presidential debate performances and Trump … being Trump . The recent reopening of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s private email server helped galvanize Trump’s base, however, and tighten the race. How much impact the FBI had – as opposed to reliably Republican voters “coming home” to the Donald as they would anyway – is unclear. It didn’t help her, however; Clinton’s once-safe lead dwindled down to toss-up territory, even as the FBI didn’t change its findings ultimately . Clinton probably never thought she’d be sweating it out at this point in her second White House bid, but she undeniably (and wisely) is. No candidate in 2012, 2008 or 2004 improved their national polling by more than two points in the two weeks prior to Election. Trump has. Still, it may not be enough to overcome his own ceiling with independents, and the Clinton campaigns superior’s organizational structure. If Clinton and Trump perform at current polling levels (or if Clinton does better than expected), she will prevail, either by a little or a lot. There are still real paths to a Trump victory, via polling errors and/or a late uprising of previously undetected support for the businessman. How favorable are his odds really, though? Predictive models at FiveThirtyEight, the Upshot ( New York Times ) and the Huffington Post all project a Clinton win … of varying degrees. The HuffPost model cites a ridiculous 1.6% chance of a Trump win, while FiveThirtyEight is more bullish, giving him once chance in three. In fairness, Trump does have a real shot. See the map above. With 270 Electoral Votes needed to win, Clinton would claim 301 – more than enough – if every state’s polling is accurate. It’s more complicated than that, however. Margins in Florida in particular are razor-thin, while Trump is gaining ground in New Hampshire. Take away their 33 combined Electoral Votes? You could be looking at President Trump. On the flip side, Clinton is competitive in 5-6 red states above, so he has no margin for error. This second map (both courtesy of Real Clear Politics) offers a better indication of the extent of both candidates leads in the polls, if any. Using only leads determined to be safe or reasonably safe, Clinton’s lead in the Electoral College shrinks to 203-164, with 171 in play. Still, Trump’s battle is more uphill than Hillary’s. North Carolina and Florida are very close – within a percent – but if she can pull out either one, it’s pretty much curtains for the Donald. How Trump does there will tell us what kind of night we’re in for, although neither is currently part of Clinton’s fabled blue state “firewall.” That’s a problem. Even if he wins both North Carolina and Florida on top of Ohio, Iowa, Georgia and Arizona, he’ll be at 259 Electoral Votes. Very close, but not quite Inaugural Address time. In that scenario, he’d have to cobble together a combination of Nevada (very possible), Colorado or New Mexico (less likely) and N.H. to win. So, unless he can outperform his polling across the nation and “steal” a Pennsylvania or Michigan (he trails in both), he will come up short. It’s just a matter of how short. In the end, we would bet on a Trump victory based on this analysis. However, we’ve also learned never to count out Donald or his supporters. Yet therein lies a central tradeoff of Trump’s candidacy – his outsider persona and populist stances widely appeal to a wide swath of the electorate. They also alienate an equally wide swath. Turning off Hispanics, women, and even traditional Republican groups in his brash run for the Republican nomination put him in a big hole. One has yet to show he can climb out of. For all of Clinton’s many flaws, and her own widespread unpopularity, she seems poised to eke this one out and make history Tuesday. Thoughts? Comments? Votes? Hit it! And the Winner is?

Dear Bossip , I am going through this phase no wife should ever have to go through. Eight months ago I found out my husband cheated on me. I was disgusted because the woman he was with was a friend of mine and she was the one who spilled the beans. Instead of apologizing or feeling some type remorse, she was angry! She said how I was so naive not to know what was going on and I would be stupid if I let him slide like this. I confronted my husband that night when he came from work. At first he denied it, then, he burst his emotions out. He said it only happened once and how he couldn’t tell me because he didn’t want to break-up our marriage. And, how eventually, she was after him and he kept pushing her away, which is why she told me everything. I felt so devastated and just wanted to pack my things and go. He insisted I stay and that he truly feels sorry for what he’s done. Fast forward 8 months, and this man has changed a lot. He quit his job and got a better paying one. He helps a lot in the house and we get along so well, even as to say that he has gone as far as to give me his paycheck weekly so I can run our finances and control our spending. I also have control of his phone usage, which shows me all the calls he has made and received (which he doesn’t know). Unintentionally, I found a way to track where he is through his phone – no app was used, just email. From what I see, he holds a clean record ever since. But, there are some days that my mind rewinds back to that day, and things that I see remind me of his infidelity and make me feel as it was yesterday. My wounds feel fresh and I cry alone every now and then. I have become two sides of myself, the one who wants to leave and start fresh, and the one who wants to stay and forgive. He has become a wonderful husband and a great father to our daughter. But, Terrance, how can I make these feelings go away. I was always the first to say, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.” Or, my personal favorite, “You cheat, you’re out the door.” But, could it be possible for a marriage to survive after this, if the husband shows signs of change without pressure from the wife? – Should I Stay or Leave Dear Ms. Should I Stay or Leave , Ma’am, I’m sorry that you are experiencing this and going through this turmoil. I know it must be difficult to deal with a cheating spouse, and especially when that spouse sleeps with a friend that you know. It’s not as if it is some random woman, but a woman who was part of your life, and someone you considered a friend. That is a stab in the heart. But, yet, here you are. I wish I could tell you that you should leave. I wish I could tell you that you should stay. But, the only one who can make that decision is you. Me, nor anyone else can tell you when to leave your marriage, especially if your husband is doing everything to make things right, and is working toward saving his marriage. He’s apologized, and he’s trying to do right and remain faithful in the marriage. But, the pain is still there. Despite your own personal feelings and ethics that if someone cheats, then it’s out the door, and they will do it again. But, you’re still there. So, you have to decide what is your limit? What is your boundary? What is your low? People say what they won’t do and what they won’t put up with, but when put into that situation or faced with that circumstance it’s not easy and nor is it cut and dry. You’re thinking about your marriage and what you’ve committed to it. You’re thinking about your child. You’re thinking about your families. You’re thinking about your finances, your home, and what you’ll have to go through in the divorce. Will it be nasty? Will it be amicable? But, more importantly, is it worth it to end it and start all over again? If you are still struggling and you find yourself crying and reliving the pain, then it’s time to get into therapy. I highly and strongly recommend that you and your husband seek couple’s therapy to work on your marriage, and to get to the bottom of what happened. You have questions and you want answers, but I don’t feel you got them from him. Why her? Why cheat? What was going on in your marriage that he couldn’t come to you and talk to you about it? Was it convenience? Was it because he could? He says she kept pursuing him after it happened, so what led her to believe that something more was going to happen? How long had they been talking, and flirting? How long had she been pursuing him, and why didn’t he tell you? There are so many questions and very little answers, and you need these in order to heal. Besides, your husband needs to know how this has affected you, and how you are feeling. In therapy you can let him know how deeply hurt you are, what this has done to you and your trust of him. How you feel betrayed. How you feel manipulated and deceived. Let him know that you the pain is still there, and you can’t stop thinking about him being with another woman, especially someone you considered a friend. You’re hurting, and until you seek proper healing and deal with the emotions and feelings, then you will continue to relive it over and over again. However, I do know one thing, that woman should not be in your life in any capacity. She is and was never your friend. She was low down and dirty, and I would consider it a lesson learned. Despite who you think is your friend, and how close you think you are, there are some people you keep at a distance, and out of your marriage, and personal life. She is one of those types of people. It’s sad that someone you considered a friend, and invited into your home would turn around and do what she did. But, it happens. Then, she had the nerve to be mad at you and accuse you of being naïve and clueless as to what happened. You should have slapped the dog -ish out of her. She would know that you are not the one, and she would think twice before she did something like this again. However, like I said, I recommend therapy, and possibly speaking with your pastor, or spiritual advisor. This is not easy, nor is it cut and dry. You mentioned that it was a one time thing, and he’s working toward being a better man, better father, and better partner. Is this enough for you? Can you forgive and move forward? Do you want to forgive? You have to decide what is your limit and your bottom. Before you make any decisions or move forward get into therapy, see if it’s something you want to work on and mend. I’m sure you will get the answers you need if you talk with a certified licensed third party who can assist you as you navigate this new terrain in your marriage. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Dear Bossip , I am 23 years old and I am financially secure. However, my job that requires a lot of my time. I recently decided that I needed to focus on my personal life and start dating. I started dating two guys. One is a total sweetheart, while the other is a sensitive asshole. Now, I know you might feel this should be an easy choice based off description, but it gets complicated. The sweetheart is 6’3, handsome, and the sex is AMAZING. The downfall is that he is broke. He is taking care of his grandma who is sick, so all his finances go towards their household. He does try to do sweet little things, like cooking me dinner, or buying me a single rose, but I am used to being wined and dined. He is also great with communication, but he can be quite corny at times. With the other the other guy, he is a sensitive asshole. However, he takes me out all around the city. He has even flown me to different cities, but we don’t talk for days at time, and his sex is mediocre. He often likes to belittle others and he is very rude. He likes to talk about himself way too much, also. He is sweet mostly to me, but the way he treats others is a turn off. I want to choose one to focus on because it’s getting quite hectic at work again. I don’t want to break either of their hearts. Please help me with a solution. – A Rock and A Hard Place Dear Ms. A Rock and A Hard Place , Ma’am, this is a no-brainer. Be by yourself and just date. Why do you want to be in a relationship? Why do you feel you have to make a choice? Why make a choice and you’re busy with work, and you won’t have time, and you’re going to cancel dates because of your busy schedule and work life? Just date and have fun. Don’t make this more difficult and feel that you have to make a choice. You don’t. You’re dating. And, dating is just hanging out, enjoying someone’s company, and you have companionship for movies, dinner, brunch, outings, and other social events. That’s dating. So, I don’t understand what choice you feel you have to make. Girl, you folks will make things so hard and difficult when it doesn’t have to be. I swear some of you don’t know the difference between dating and a relationship. And, you wrote that you were interested in dating. Therefore, date. As I stated, dating is not being in a relationship with someone. It is having fun with someone else, going out, and getting to know one another. If you choose to have sex, then make sure you protect yourselves, and enjoy it. You’re not committing yourself to someone by dating. You are exploring the dating scene, and keeping your options open. And, guess what? You can date as many people at one time as you choose. (GASP!) Yes, dating doesn’t make you decide on one person. It’s seeing multiple people and enjoying multiple encounters as you desire. A relationship is when the both of you are interested in being with one another monogamously. You both are seeking to be in a relationship with one another, and you only want to focus on each other. You have decided, after a number of dates, that you want to build a future with that person. You and that person feel that you would be great partners together, and you have strong feelings for one another. You enjoy each other’s company, and companionship. You like being one-on-one with that person and vice-versa. You can see yourself being with this person for the long haul and meeting one another friends, family members, and loved ones. That is a relationship. You are dating two guys. Date them. Enjoy the company, and what each one brings to the table. The first guy seems great, but he just doesn’t have any money to do great and extraordinary things like the second guy. However, the first guy is creative in what he can do, and how he can entertain you. So, enjoy it, and him and stop complaining. He’s a nice guy, handsome, and has great sex. You’re not making him your man, and he hasn’t asked you to be his woman. Therefore, date, have fun, and keep it light and easy. And, it’s commendable that he is taking care of a sick grandmother, and her household. He’s a gentleman and cares about family. He’s attentive, and compassionate. Those are great qualities to have. Appreciate that, and him. And, who knows what may happen in the future. His situation will not always be the same, and it will change. Don’t be so eager to get rid of him for circumstances that are out of his control. The other guy likes to wine and dine you, which you enjoy. That is something you desire in a man. So, you’re getting what you want. However, he is not a nice person. He’s rude, self-indulged, and mistreats others. Besides, his sex is mediocre. What you do like is his money and what he can do for you, like the trips, and dinners. It really shows more about you than about him. If you are willing to put up with all this just so you can get nice dinners, trips, and little trinkets, then you are shallow. But, again, you are dating. So, enjoy the outings, help him improve on the sex, and curb his rudeness and call him out on it. Look, stop making this about a choice. It’s not. You’re dating. So, have fun and enjoy yourself. Let both of them know that you are dating and not looking for anything serious. And, stop being too serious because it’s not that deep. One of them will emerge, and when it’s time to consider a relationship I’m sure one of them will ask you, and that is when you can decide if a relationship is what you want at that time. Until then, neither has asked you to be his woman, so stop fretting, and stop thinking you have to make a choice. You don’t. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Last month, we reported that Selena Gomez had checked into rehab , reportedly to seek help for the emotional issues that she’s opened up about in the past. But while her team insisted that Selena was being treated for “anxiety, panic attacks and depression,” rumors that Selena had been struggling with substance abuse issues began to circulate online. Whatever the case, the singer has apparently completed her course of treatment, as she was spotted by several fans during an afternoon on the town in Tennessee yesterday. Selena and friends reportedly hit up an arcade and had dinner at a Texas Roadhouse not far from her treatment site. The dressed-down singer happily posed for photos with fans and appeared to be in good spirits, onlookers say. While it’s possible that Selena returned for further treatment after her evening out, sources who are familiar with the facility where she stayed say it’s unusual for patients to leave and return. Which means that even though she stayed around the area after her release, she most likely headed home the following day. One witness tells Radar Online that while some fans leapt at the opportunity to take a selfie with the pop star, Selena’s presence went mostly unnoticed . “You could tell she was hoping to be recognized by someone at the arcade,” the source says. “But not even the worker getting her ice cream knew who she was.” It’s been a tough year for Selena who – in addition to the usual endless tabloid scrutiny of her love life – was forced to publicly cope with a debilitating illness. Selena suffers from lupus and in October of last year, she revealed that she had been forced to take time off due to chemotherapy treatments. Insiders say the illness prompted Selena to slow down and pay more attention to her overall well-being – mental health included. The rumors about why Selena decided to undergo in-patient treatment are sure to persist, but the pop star seems unperturbed by the rumor mill. In a statement issued before she checked in for treatment, Selena wrote: “I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.” “Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. “I know I am not alone by sharing this. I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.” Here’s hoping the singer received the help she needed.
