Yuhhh, Hoo! The #DJTakeoff Challenge Has All The YRN On Internet Going Crazy

Source: Prince Williams / Getty It seems like anything that Quavo, Offset and Takeoff do becomes a new thing in the culture. But even the Migos themselves probably didn’t know  they started something by letting Takeoff showoff his DJ’ing skills to Quavo’s “Lose It” featuring Lil Baby .   Thus the #DJTakeoff Challenge was born.   Takeoff is definitely the youngest, most reserved, most low-key member of the group, so it’s always interesting when he shows a tad bit of the personality we rarely get to see. Some even argue that Take is the best rapper in Migos — even though he was left off Bad & Boujee .   One fan tweeted , “Takeoff lives that hook lifestyle too tho, and y’all already said he the best rapper which is facts, he really the mvp, he had the squad on his back when he was like 18, 19 yrs old and offset was locked. I think he could make a better album.”  But will everyone’s secretly favorite Migo get his just due? Will we finally get to hear all the Takeoff we deserve? Well, according to recent reports, — and Offset’s mom — Takeoff’s solo album will be coming after Quavo’s. In an Instagram comment to a fan questioning Takeoff’s absence from the American Music Awards, Miss Latabia Woodward wrote, “It’s still 3 of them. Take is working on his solo album which releases soon after Quavo’s. Each of them are releasing solo projects.”   Even Quavo admitted once that each member of the Migos has their own projects in the works. He told Hypebeast , “We’ve always had music stocked up, each of us on our own. That’s how we always had worked, the previous Migos records. We always go work on them first and then one person would be on the song and then we just make each other do homework. So now it’s just like we completing our own songs” No word on when Takeoff’s solo effort will be released, but since Quavo’s dropped this month, and Cardi B announced that Offset was working on his — we can only assume that solo Take will be out later this year or early next year. But in the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the funniest #DJTakeoffChallenge videos.

He had decorated his apartment that I bought him years ago. He had gotten a new job with a prominent real estate company in California, [which] he was very happy with.” Page Six   reports: At the time of the death, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office  told Fox News  that Craig Turner died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Studio City, California.

Meghan Markle Reveals Baby Gender… According to Twitter

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are having a baby. You probably already knew this. But the public does NOT yet know whether the Royals are expecting a boy or a girl. This information was not included in the official statement by Kensington Palace that confirmed the major news. However, a handful of astute (and/or possibly misguided) Internet users think they have cracked the gender code. They think Markle revealed the sex of her impending child via the color of the dress she wore for a state dinner in Fiji. No, really. They think this. Scroll down to see the gown in question, along with these excited responses to it… 1. Wearing Blue Meghan Markle is in Fiji for this photo, showing off her baby bump in a lovely blue gown that has some folks wondering if she’s having a boy. 2. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!? Internet users really are convinced that Markle is wearing this color dress as a way to tell the world the gender of her impending child. 3. Boom! It’s a Boy! Why else would Markle wear blue, right?!? 4. She’s Carrying a Boy! That’s it. Twitter is convinced. 5. Yes. We All Know This… … but we’re here to blindly guess the gender, okay?!? 6. Here’s the Thing, Though: Markle and her famous husband were attendinga reception and State Dinner hosted by Jioji Konrote, the President of Fiji. This marked the latest stop on the couple’s tour of the Commonwealth — and it would have been a very odd time to announce a gender in such passive fashion. View Slideshow

19 Scandals & Counting: The Duggar Family’s Most Shameful Moments

These days, the name Duggar is synonymous with scandal. It's something of an ironic turn of events, as the family was initially marketed as the most wholesome thing on television. Josh Duggar's sex crimes are obviously chief among the awful acts that the Counting On clan has been associated with. But that ugly episode was neither the first or the last time that the Duggars would endure some serious damage to their squeaky clean reputation. Take a look: 1. All Too Human The Duggars often take pride in their moral virtue, but as longtime fans know, they’re not always as ethically flawless as Jim Bob would have us believe. 2. The Worst of the Lot First up is the now-infamous Josh Duggar sex scandal. In May of 2015, the world learned that Josh molested five young girls — four of whom were his sisters — while still in his teens. To make matters worse, his parents helped him evade prosecution. 3. More From Josh Shortly after that scandal went public, Josh was busted using an affair-facilitating website to try and cheat on his wife. What a guy. 4. Consent? The Duggars Don’t Know the Meaning of the Word! Perhaps behavior like Josh’s is inevitable in a culture as relentlessly patriarchal as the one the Duggars live in. In 2016, Michelle Duggar penned an open letter in which she basically said women need to have sex with their husbands on command, even when they’re “exhausted” after a long day. “Anyone can fix him lunch, but only one person can meet that need of love that he has, and you always need to be available when he calls,” Michelle wrote. 5. A Heavy Hand Not only have the Duggars advocated extreme corporal punishment such as blanket training, a police report from the Josh investigation noted that Jim Bob and Michelle admitted to hitting their kids with some frequency. 6. Speaking of Hands … Remember when Jim Bob and Michelle got all handsy on a mini-golf course so they could demonstrate the joys of marriage to their kids? If not, it’s probably best to keep it that way. View Slideshow

Caitlyn Jenner Halloween Costume: Harmless or Horrible?

For the second time in just a few years, controversy has erupted over the selling of a Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume. Back in 2015, shortly after the ex-reality star fully revealed herself to be transgender, folks were given the option of going out in the dress Caitlyn wore to make this groundbreaking announcement. At the time, the costume came with a sash that read “Call Me Caitlyn.” A debate quickly ensued over whether this was a harmless bit of fun… … or if the costume was using Jenner’s lifestyle as a source of mockery. For whatever it was worth back then, Caitlyn said she did NOT find the costume to be offensive . Now, however, she may need to issue a new statement in regard to a new Halloween get-up. A new Caitlyn Jenner costume has hit the market, this one taking potential customers back to the days during which Jenner was known as “Bruce” and was considered, literally, as the greatest athlete in the world. Bruce Jenner was the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics. As you can see above and below, this costume comes replete with a decathlete’s jersey (with Bruce’s number 935); a gold medal; and a pair of teeny tiny shorts. It also comes with a wig. Because Jenner identifies as a woman now… get it? HILARIOUS! Really, jusy so very witty, isn’t it? eBay originally sold the outfit for $44.95 prior to removing the item from its collection. But it remains available on Amazon and on the website for Costume Agent, which is the company responsible for this idea. A rep tells TMZ that the organization has no plans to remove the costume from its inventory; not as long as it continues to sell well. “It’s a costume. It’s funny,” says this rep. However, someone from the charity Stonewall – which fights for the rights of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in the United Kingdom – says differently. “This is a reminder of how much is left to do to combat the abuse trans people face every day,” explains this rep, adding: “This costume reduces a marginalised group to the butt of a joke. It should be taken off the shelves.” This seems like a reasonable point of view in our opinion. Then again, it also seems reasonable to let someone buy the costume and then mock the heck out of them on Halloween. For being insensitive? Yes. But also for being boring and unoriginal. Who purchase a Caitlyn Jenner transgender costume and thinks it’s remotely creative in the year 2018?!?

Jon James McMurray, Canadian Rapper, Dies During Airplane Stunt

Jon James McMurray, a rapper well known and well respected in his native country of Canada, died Saturday while filming a stunt for his latest music video. He was 34 years old. The musician’s management team has confirmed the sad news, saying McMurray lost his life after plunging to the ground while walking on the wing of a plane. “He died filming a project he had been working on for months,” reads this team’s statement, adding: “His final act included performing an airplane stunt that included rapping while walking on the wing. He had trained intensely for this stunt. “However, as Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn’t correct. “Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly.” What a tragedy. The incident took place in Vernon, British Columbia. McMurray, who was also an accomplished skier, pursued music after a back injury prevented him from continuing his ski career. He released an album titled Rex Leo in 2016. Jon was an incredibly passionate person and was always smiling. He filled everyone around him with positivity, and never spoke poorly about another person. He truly had a heart of gold,” the statement continues. “Jon would want to be remembered as a beacon of light to follow your dreams, and would want everyone to continue to be inspired through his music and life message.” According to Newsweek, McMurray’s previous stunt performances involved numerous serious injuries — including seven surgeries, two of which were for a fractured neck and broken back. Rory Wayne Bushfield, a skier who was featured in McMurray’s video, paid tribute to the late rapper on Instagram Monday. He wrote the following: The sun is not as bright today as it was yesterday when it was shinning on my homies last moments. Jon James Mcmurray, my very best, dearest and oldest friend passed yesterday evening in a skydiving accident. He was living his ultimate dream, free and full. May he Rest In Peace. I’m gonna miss him so much. Thanks for all the lessons over the years fee. You where such a good man, you brought up everyone around you and I promise to try my best to live as free as you did. Jon is survived by his parents, Doug McMurray and Jen McMurray, his wife, Kali James, and his brother Jarred McMurray. A GoFundMe account has been set up in the rapper’s honor to help fund his celebration of life, as well as to help get his material “out there to the world in the right way.” “We lost Jon James McMurray yesterday,” the page reads. “He touched and lifted so many people in his brief stay here. He also documented everything he did relentlessly. “His close friends and family want to make something incredible with what fee left us. It’s what he would have wanted most of all.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

Barely Seasoned: Spice’s New “Bleached” White Skin Has The Internet In Shambles But Here’s The REAL Reason Behind It

Spice Reveals Lighter Skin You may know Spice for her his music career or her life full of drama on Love & Hip-Hop but now you’re going to know her as a musician who is now 40,948 shades lighter than she used to be. The new-look Spice has gotten a ton of attention from people calling her out for self-hate. She appears to be just another in a long list of celebrities who bleach their skin for approval. But, wait, there’s more. Spice isn’t just doing this for aesthetic purposes. There’s a deeper meaning. Spice released a song calling out colorism and seems to be making a point that the only way to achieve success is to make her skin lighter. There’s no indication that this is permanent beyond the release of the single and to make social commentary. Spice didn’t bleach. It’s makeup to bring awareness to her song “Black Hypocrisy”… and it worked. — Yardie B (@ShenaeCurry) October 22, 2018 Some were keen on the deeper meaning and others just had jokes for it all. All in all, Spice is getting the attention she wants out of this, it’s just unclear if she’s getting the attention she actually wants. Take a look at the reactions…
