Source: Wheatley/WENN / WENN We’ve all heard of Grandmas complaining about folks speeding down their streets while the grand babies play on the front lawn. Well this Montana grand mom took matters into her own hands to slow down traffic on her street. One day Patti Forest Baumgartner got fed up and grabbed her hair dryer and a lawn chair, took a seat on the curb in front of her house and pointed her hair dryer at on coming cars, pretending to take their speeds with a radar gun. )Oh we can’t forget the red solo cup and straw) We are sure whether Patti was able to slow down traffic, but her efforts do not go unnoticed. Do it for the babies Patti! ___ ___ The Latest Music, Celebrities and Interviews: Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN The world is still trying to make sense of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Lori Harvey ‘s romance , given the fact that Harvey dated her new boo’s son, Justin Combs. With rumors that Harvey was expecting , it appears that, thus far, there’s no baby on the way for the budding couple. TMZ reports : As we reported … Diddy and Lori set off pregnancy rumors last weekend coming back from another romantic getaway in Cabo, after Diddy and Lori became super handsy with her belly. Turns out, it wasn’t a hint she’s having a bambino … they were just playin’. Sources close to the couple tell us Diddy was touching her tummy because he was complimenting her on her tight abs … as she was flaunting them with her open shirt. Here’s the thing … we’re told the rap mogul and Steve Harvey’s 22-year-old daughter are getting very serious. The fact they’ve been inseparable the past few months — in NYC, Italy and elsewhere — paints a pretty clear picture. Anyone check on Justin Combs lately? Just sayin’. — Photo: WENN
When it comes to the top vocalists in R&B currently, you have to mention Fantasia , Brandy and Jazmine Sullivan . So the idea that these three women would collaborate with one another on a track had the music-loving community excited. #BREAKING #Fantasia @TasiasWord just revealed that she has a song on her new album with @jsullivanmusic and @4everBrandy #Interview @team_fantasia pic.twitter.com/J35oMTs5uh — FantasiaDaily (@fantasia_daily) April 30, 2019 According to RatedRnB.com , Fantasia confirmed the collaboration in an Instagram Live video, Fantasia shared that she would be working with the two vocal powerhouses. “They are both my favorites. I turn into a little groupie when I see Jazmine. I love her and I love Bran. I wanted to kind of reach back and touch some different eras when it came to that girl group. I was like, ‘Wouldn’t it be dope if we had a girl group where it was Jazmine, Fantasia, and Brandy?’ Let’s just put it on an album.” Sadly, in promotion of her new single “PTSD” featuring T. Pain, Fantasia said the song won’t be released. But not for a lack of trying. The reason fans won’t hear it is because of industry politics. SEE ALSO: New Body, Who Dis? Jazmine Sullivan Flaunts Her Super Snatched Waist On Social Media During a recent interview with The Cheddar, Fantasia vaguely shared what happened to the highly anticipated song. “They are my favorite. They give me chill bumps. And it was something I really wanted to happen. Unfortunately, it did not go through. Next time. It’s politics to this, and when you’re doing something independent and you’re stepping out against the grain, sometimes storms and tests will come; but I’m used to the rain, so I’m okay.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyonce Denied At The Emmys It’s about time we talk about the way Beyonce gets treated at white awards shows. We know all about how the Grammys mistreat her, but it’s also time to talk about the Emmys. Bey was nominated for six Emmys for her groundbreaking, revolutionary documentary “Homecoming” that broke all sorts of Netflix records and sparked even more Beyhive fandom. That doesn’t seem to matter to white awards shows as MFing Carpool Karaoke won the damn Emmy over Bey. The show with a camera on the dashboard won? Okay. The fans are disgusted and rightfully so. Take a look… Me knowing that Beyoncé’s Creole ancestors about to haunt and curse all of the Emmy voters who voted against Homecoming pic.twitter.com/XZvuBN0Sxr —
Source: Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage / Photo by Johnny Nunez/WireImage DJ Khaled Jacks Unreleased Yeezya Right Off Kanye’s Feet In Atlanta Jordan Brand influencer DJ Khaled failed the ultimate test of temptation and loyalty this weekend. Not only that, but he posted it on Instagram for the whole world to see–but let’s be honest, we don’t blame him . View this post on Instagram #KanyeWest Gives #DJKhaled The New #Yeezys Off His Feet A post shared by 2Cool2Blog (@2cool2bl0g) on Sep 15, 2019 at 2:30pm PDT After spending the weekend in Atlanta for Diddy’s Revolt Music Summit, DJ Khaled hit the airport to take the private jet back to Miami to be with the family . While heading to the PJ, he spotted his friend in music Kanye West, who was leaving Atlanta after holding his own event, Sunday service . Of course, Khaled had to catch up with his past collaborator and friend, and ultimately ended up securing some Yeezys in the process. And by secure, we mean Kanye blessed Khaled with his unreleased Adidas/Yeezy “451” basketball sneakers right off of his own two feet. It makes sense that Ye would be in a giving mood after spending all day in church, after all, walking on the tarmac boiling from Georgia heat isn’t really worth it to bless just anyone with unreleased sneakers! Hopefully, Jordan Brand is understanding and doesn’t give Khaled too much trouble for working with the competition. How could he resist?
A fter enduring a harrowing experience as a result of a flawed criminal justice system Korey Wise —a member of the Exonerated Five—is turning his pain into positivity through activism. According to the Amsterdam News , the Harlem native recently provided youngsters in his community with school supplies and backpacks just in time for the new school year. #BackToSchool : Korey Wise of the #Exonerated5 distributes school supplies and inspiration in Schomburg Plaza https://t.co/cI8xMEeVuy — Amsterdam News (@NYAmNews) August 30, 2019 Wise teamed up with a group called Friends of Public Schools Harlem Inc. for the initiative. The organization provides local schools in the community with the supplies needed to ensure the educational success of their students. Friends of Public Schools Harlem Inc. also donates funds to schools for the creation of health and wellness and arts programs. The group is on a mission to provide 4,000 students in Harlem with backpacks and supplies through a grant provided by The Migdol Family Foundation. At the event hosted by Wise at Harlem’s Schomburg Plaza over 200 students were served. Wise says he was grateful to be able to pay it forward to children from his community. “It was great to be back at Schomburg Plaza where I grew up and give something back to today’s children,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “Being here and providing school supplies helps students start the school year better prepared to succeed and sends a message that somebody cares. It was great to see the smiles from parents and children. I thank the Friends of Public Schools Harlem and the Migdol Family for making it happen.” FPSH board member Jerry Migdol says that Wise’s support is instrumental in leveling the playing field when it comes to educational resources. Since being exonerated in 2002 Wise—who has become a criminal justice reform advocate and public speaker—has continually used his platform and resources to give back. In 2015, he donated $190,000 to the University of Colorado’s Innocence Project to help fight wrongful convictions.

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Kurupt Relapses While Filming “Marriage Bootcamp” Ends Up Hospitalized Kurupt has long been in a battle with alcoholism and trying to overcome that demon. Recently, he was doing better and walking a straight line, even getting cast for the upcoming season of WE tv’s Marriage Bootcamp with his estranged wife, Jovan “Tookie” Brown. Apparently, the producers paid no attention to the details of his life or struggles whatsoever, and things in the house didn’t end up going as planned. According to reports from TMZ , the production and show team had the Bootcamp house stocked with every alcoholic drink imaginable. That’s when sources report the house was having a nightly turn up and Kurupt said screw it and decided to join in. While everyone else was drinking in moderation, Kurupt downed everything he could. That’s when things when downhill, according to reports. Sources close to production tell TMZ … Kurupt turned up with the rest of the cast inside the ‘MBC’ house, and the rapper drank so much he ended up needing medical treatment. We’re told Kurupt missed 2 days of filming while he was hospitalized from his boozy night. With money on the line and product deadlines approaching, as the house is rented and crew has to be paid, the higher-ups involved on the show decided to remove all alcohol from the house and the show altogether. This is sure to have some sort of impact on the vibe between the stars in the house, but it’s clearly for the best. Just imagine trying to save your marriage and being forced to talk about uncomfortable situations every day while not being able to have one drink to let off some steam. Probably sounds like for some couples, but not the same hell as someone who’s battling alcoholism . Just last year, his wife expressed disappointment with Kurupt during their super messy public feud and rumored divorce. We wish Kurupt the best and are glad to see he’s out the hospital and back on the job to get his wifey back!
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Fans Are NOT HAPPY With Homecoming ‘s Creative Arts Emmys Oversight When Beyoncé headlined Coachella in 2018, fans crowded around their laptops and made an event out of the livestream, live-tweeting about the concert and gushing over the insane dedication and production value put into the show. A year later, Netflix released Homecoming , a documentary which included that same iconic performance footage (compiled from both Coachella weekends) along with a behind-the-scenes look at just how much work went into making the whole thing happen. Fast forward to present day, Beyoncé’s concert film was nominated for six Emmys: outstanding variety special, outstanding costumes for variety, non-fiction or reality programming; outstanding directing for a variety special; outstanding music direction; outstanding production design for a variety special and outstanding writing for a variety special. Somehow, at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 14, Homecoming came up completely empty-handed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Apr 15, 2018 at 12:47am PDT Though not getting recognized in general has a lot of Beyoncé fans upset, even more upsetting is what Homecoming was beat by. Though the documentary was nominated and snubbed in several categories, the one oversight that’s gaining attention is “Best Variety Special,” where Bey’s concert special lost to James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke special with Paul McCartney, When Corden Met McCartney. Corden’s series also won in several other categories including “Best Technical Direction/Camerawork/Video Control” and “Best Short Form Variety Series.” If you’re not familiar with Carpool Karaoke, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Late night host James Corden drives around with different celebrities while they sing along to songs together. That’s it. And that’s the series that won multiple awards while Beyonce and her Homecoming crew went home empty-handed (metaphorically, because Beyoncé didn’t actually show up to the award show…obviously). For a series that has the same production value as Cash Cab , fans are outraged that Carpool Karaoke went home with awards for camerawork and other accolades while Homecoming was completely snubbed. In what world would someone whose seen a Beyoncé performance and some karaoke ever pick the karaoke?! To say this weird Emmys outcome has caused some outrage online would be an understatement. Here’s what fans had to say once news broke that James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke won over Beyoncé’s masterful Coachella performance portrayed in Homecoming : Award shows are a fucking joke. How does Carpool Karaoke win an #Emmy over Beyoncé's #Homecoming ? Yes, James Corden is entertaining, but he's not the first Black Woman to headline Coachella. — HOT NERD JAZZZ (@sasssyjazzzy) September 15, 2019 WAITTTT hold the mothafuckin phone.
