From the moment the world learned that Rob Kardashian had proposed to Blac Chyna , theories about the reaction from Rob’s family were everywhere on social media. Some claimed that Kris Jenner has embraced Blac as a future daughter-in-law and thanked her profusely for being such a positive influence on Rob. Others have noted that no one in the Kard clan has congratulated Rob on social media, which is saying something, as Kim and company pretty much live on Instagram. Obviously, the “Rob’s sisters are disgusted by the idea of Blac becoming a Kardashian” narrative is far more entertaining, and it was only a matter before some anonymous source caught wind of an “us or her” ultimatum: “It’s the worst betrayal ever, especially since Blac has badmouthed the family so many times,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “The family thinks Rob’s doing this to piss everyone off because he’s so angry…There is now an ultimatum in place to deal with this mess.” Things have reportedly gotten so bad that Kim has cut off all contact with her brother: “Kim is not talking to Rob because she feels betrayed after all she’s done for him,” says the insider. Wow. You know the hate for Blac is strong when a family that embraced Kanye freakin’ West as an in-law won’t accept her. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Their Relationship In 14 Photos

Sorry, but Ray’s church cadence outside of a NFL Game facet…is annoying. Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis is starring in a video in which he states a regular myth propagated in the mainstream media. The athlete basically delivers a sermon that decries the surge in murders in Chicago this year while laying the blame on the Black Lives Matter movement — which he ignorantly insists doesn’t care about such things.

…The website Fitrated.com enlisted EmLab P&K to swab almost 30 pieces of equipment at three different gym facilities that are national chains in an effort to find out just how many germs our go-to gear really holds. What they found was, just as you thought, you should probably wipe down the equipment before you use it due to an abundance of gram-positive cocci and other serious bacteria. Treadmills at the three facilities they checked out had 74 times more bacteria than a public water faucet does. That exercise bike people sit on for extended periods of time? Thirty-nine times more bacteria than the reusable plastic cafeteria lunch trays. But the dirtiest equipment of all? The free weights. They have 362 times more bacteria than the toilet you sit your behind on… [ MadameNoire ] Study: Most Couples Use Smartphones For Wedding Planning …According to results from The Knot’s 2015 Real Weddings Survey, mobile wedding planning is on the rise. In fact, 89 percent of couples reported using their smartphones for wedding planning activities such as researching and reaching out to wedding vendors, managing a wedding registry, and updating a wedding website. Nearly 60 percent of brides reported that they browse for wedding gowns via their mobile devices. 16 percent of couples also revealed that they manage online RSVPs using their mobile devices as well. Only 26 percent of couples reported hiring a professional wedding planner. Researchers also found that wedding guest lists are shrinking… The average cost per wedding guest shot up from $194 in 2009 to $237 in 2015… [ MadameNoire ] Andre 3000 And Kanye West Deliver Moving Tributes At Phife Dawg Memorial Concert Andre 3000 and Kanye West made a rare public appearance at the Apollo Theatre to share their love for A Tribe Called Quest at a memorial service for Phife Dawg. The two rappers joined thousands of fans and dozens of Hip-Hop legends in saying good-bye one last time to the “Funky Diabetic” who passed away in March at age 45. Busta Rhymes and Chuck D all shared their fondest memories while ATCQ members Q-Tip, Jarobi and Ali Shahed Muhammad closed the night with emotional eulogies.

Ted Nugent Posts Fake And Racist “2 Ni**er” Meme On Facebook The watchdog site MediaMatters has put professional racist Ted Nugent’s Facebook page on blast after one of his latest posts was as racist as it was sarcastic and offensive… National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent posted a racially derogatory image on his Facebook page that he said was an advertisement for a moving company called “2 ni** ers and a stolen truck.” In a March 31 post, Nugent shared the image with his comment: “Before all the braindead dishonest lying scum politically correct racist hatepunks get all goofball toxic on us here, I am simply promoting a brilliant entrepreneur in Detroit that created a clever bussiness. His words, not mine. Ya gotta luv this guy!! When in doubt whip it out!” As much as hatin’ azz Ted would like to believe that some enterprising black entrepreneur starting a self-hating small business… There is no actual moving company; the image is actually a fake that has been shared on racist websites and condemned by civil rights leaders. Nugent, who wrote a column last year for conspiracy website WND praising the use of the word “ni**er,” even as a racial insult, frequently makes racially charged and otherwise inflammatory comments. Earlier in 2016, he caused widespread controversy for sharing anti-Semitic material on his Facebook page. This is all just par for the course for Ted. He and those like him want to take back America one racial epithet at a time. And if Donald Trump is elected president, he might just have a shot…SMH. Image via Facebook/WENN
