Source: Jim Jones meets fans and signs copies of his new album ‘Pray IV Reign’ at Virgin Mega-Store Union Square Featuring: Jim Jones Where: New York City, New York, United States When: 24 Mar 2009 Credit: WENN History has shown that Jim Jones can be hot or cold when it comes to doing interviews. Sole Collector got him to talking fashion and boy was it an appearance for the ages. Capo was the guest of the newest episode of Full Size Run. Hosted by Brendan Dunne, Matt Welty and Trinidad James, the weekly sneaker talk and debate show had the Harlem native on a very rare wave. While this installment stuck to the script in terms of their usual segments some of the topics that naturally came up during the exchange had us in tears. When discussing Nike Boots Jim made it clear that the trend actually started in Harlem around 2001 contrary to Wale’s 2007 song of the same name. When Brendan challenged him regarding Folarin flying that flag first, Jones emphatically responded, “Wale don’t want no sneaker conversation with me.” That opened door wider for even more peer shaming despite a compliment. “Wale get fly. He get fly but a lot of those sneakers he be wearing be boo boo.” Yikes. Jones went to be very critical on the chunky sneaker trend and rappers who look crazy trying to make the look work. “I don’t wear clown shoes. I don’t wear big shoes. I don’t wear shoes with three heels on them.” While taking a stroll through memory lane of his iconic Diplomat swag days he detailed how Cam’ron always had a great rotation of sneakers. When asked about Dame Dash’s fashion influence on Harlem during that era Jim stopped with the compliments. “Dame was a little bit older and sh*t. Dame didn’t get too fly. He had the regular Harlem get up. He wasn’t the fly n*gga in Harlem.” The rest of the episode is filled to the brim with gems including admitting to getting finessed by a bonduloo sneaker reseller, being low key responsible for SUPREME’s success and tongue f*cking. Yes tongue f*cking. You can see the entire interview below. Photo: WENN.com

Source: Time 100 Gala – Arrivals Featuring: Colin Kaepernick, Nessa Where: New York, New York, United States When: 26 Apr 2017 Credit: Patricia Schlein/WENN.com Colin Kaepernick ‘s wifey, Nessa, just showed the world what part of the definition of a “Ride or Die” is when she stood up for her man and took on Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans. Taking on hosting duties for the reunion episode to MTV’s hit show Teen Mom 2 , Nessa confronted Evans about comments she made about boycotting Nike for their support of Colin Kaepernick. You make recall he rubbed white Amerikkka the wrong way when he made the “controversial” decision to kneel for the National Anthem during football games. In a 2018 post Evans referred to Kaep as the “most disrespectful guy in the NFL” after Nike brought him on board to be a company spokesman and swore off Nike products for their decision. Well, Nessa forgot none of that and confronted the teen mom about her hateful posts which Evans suddenly had no memory of saying “I posted them? When did I post it? After Nessa not only read them out loud but also posted them for the world to see, Evans played Trumpian dumb and stated “I’ve never seen that… I honestly have no idea who your boyfriend is, or husband.” After calmly explaining that Colin is no stranger to the set and that she’d like to have this conversation with Evans, Nessa further explained why Kaep kneeled in the first place. “Please understand something. My man used his platform to peacefully protest systemic oppression in this country, specifically police brutality against black people. Men, women and children dying, wrongfully dying, and people who are doing this are not being held accountable. That is the issue. It has nothing to do with military men, military women, okay? Because they fought for our constitution to peacefully protest. I would have appreciated if you had contacted me. I would have been more than happy to have a healthy conversation.” Of course once faced with the facts Jenelle broke out the MAGA tears and walked off the set proclaiming “i’m done with this bullsh*t” while complaining that the show should’ve been about her own personal issues and not Nessa’s beef with her. That whole “woe is me” mentality really is catching on in Deranged Donald’s America isn’t it? Check out the clip below and try not to laugh too hard if you’re at work.

Source: Timothy Norris / Getty Gemini season officially begins on Tuesday, May 21. According to astrologists, this season brings a sense of wonder, curiosity, and amusement to everyone, not just those with their birthdays over the next few weeks. The season is ruled by the chatty astrological Twins and may cause people of all zodiac signs to feel more inclined to keep busy with exploring new ideas and thoughts. In astrology, the term “season” refers to the 30-day period the sun spends visiting a zodiac sign. During this time, the essence of that particular sign will have a major influence on everyone, regardless of which Sun sign a person belongs to. This brings us to the season of the Gemini, which is simultaneously the best and the worst sign we can all be ruled by. There’s really no denying that Geminis catch more heat then any other sign–but it’s not without good reason. People will crack jokes about Geminis all year round, but now, with their season in full swing, the tweets about the twins and their many…unique…traits are around every corner. If you don’t personally know anyone who falls under this particular astrological sign, let’s look at a few celebrities who might be able to help you get a good understanding of what they’re all about. Kanye West , Kendrick Lamar , Tupac , and Andre 3000 are all Geminis–so does that mean there’s something about these next 4 weeks that brings out some really amazing rapping? Well, probably not, but a lot of their traits lend themselves to things that are perfect for getting into entertainment like being creative, loving to talk a lot, and wanting to entertain large groups of people. With such incredible artists representing the Geminis, you might be wondering why they catch such a bad rap. Like we mentioned before, Geminis are represented by The Twins, and that causes some issues among Geminis and those around them. Here’s how Astrology.com explains their ever-changing personalities: “The Gemini-born can easily see both sides of an issue, a wonderfully practical quality. Less practical is the fact that you’re not sure which Twin will show up half the time. Geminis may not know who’s showing up either, which can prompt others to consider them fickle and restless. They can be wishy-washy, too, changing their mood on a simple whim.” But enough explanation, let’s get to the jokes.

Did you think that the drama from the beauty YouTuber community was slowing down? If so, well … sorry, sister. The drama between Tati Westbrook and James Charles isn't slowing down anytime soon — in fact, thanks to a new video James posted yesterday, it's getting more insane than ever. But to get where we're going, let's take a brief look back at where we've been, OK? All of this started, if you can believe it, because of vitamins. James and Tati have been friends for a couple of years now, with Tati mentoring him and helping him develop his career as an influencer. And that's why she was hurt that instead of promoting her own brand of vitamins, he did a sponsored post for Sugar Bear Hair, her main competitor, after they helped him out with some security at Coachella. She cried about the whole thing on Instagram Live, but as it turns out, she was crying about more than just the vitamins, and we found out all about it when she posted a 43-minute long video titled “Bye, Sister” all about James . Tati said so, so much in that video — that she was hurt that he'd promote her competitor and that he didn't even give her a heads up about it before the post went live. She said that he released a public apology without ever reaching out to her, which she thought was disrespectful, considering how close they were. But then the video stopped being about vitamins and started being about James' behavior in general, which Tati said was not good. He's mentioned in several videos of his own that he's only interested in straight guys, and it's always been sort of a joke, but Tati claimed that he was actually manipulative towards the straight men he developed interest in. She told one story about how she went out with him and several other friends and family for a birthday dinner for her in February, and he made several lewd remarks about their waiter. When she told him the waiter was straight, she claimed he responded with “It doesn't matter, I'm a celebrity.” She went off about how not OK that kind of thinking was, and how wrong it is to try to maniulate someone else's sexuality, and that's been the point that most people have focused on. After Tati's video went up, James went on to lose over three million subscribers . He made a brief apology video, saying that he was sorry for how things happened with Tati and that he understood how upset she was, and he admitted that he definitely had some things he needed to work on when it came to romantic relationships. And just on Friday, Tati made another video about how she never meant for James to get such backlash for the things she said. It's been a lot to keep up with, and if you're just now trying to catch up … good luck. But yesterday, James uploaded a new video he titled “No More Lies.” And now things are juicier than ever. James kicks off his video by saying that he still stands by his previous video about Tati, and that now he's not looking for sympathy or forgiveness, that he just wants people to hear his side of the story. He then begins at the beginning, with Coachella and the Sugar Bear Hair deal, and he shares several texts showing that he was telling the truth — that he got swamped by fans and the vitamin company was able to help him out with security in exchange for a sponsored post on his Instagram. He also shows texts that he exchanged with Tati showing that he did give her a heads up about the post, and says that while she was upset, he was contractually obligated to promote the other vitamins. Next, James says that he never even told Tati that he wouldn't promote her vitamin brand on his channel, and even showed clips from older videos and social media posts where he told his audience about her product. Moving on to the subject of men, he straight up admits that he's a virgin, and he insists that he would never use his fame to get hookups. “That is disgusting,” he says, “it is not me, and the fact that Tati brought this up blows my mind because she knows the real story.” He goes into the story about the waiter at the restaurant for Tati's birthday dinner, and his version is very different than hers. According to James, he discussed the waiter with Jeffree Star, who was also in attendance (more on him in just a bit), but the conversation never got “inappropriate.” As for his alleged remark about how he could convince the waiter to get with him because he's a celebrity, he says that never happened. What happened was that he called himself “famous,” which is apparently an inside joke in his friend group, just another way of saying something is really good. He shares numerous texts between numerous people using the word in that way — even texts with Tati. You really just need to watch the video for him to explain the whole situation with the waiter, but he does show texts from him in which he tells James directly that he's bisexual. Later, James admits that because he began developing his career at such an early age, he's pretty immature when it comes to relationships. “Love and relationships is something that I have barely any experience in,” he says, “and I honestly think that's why I'm a lot less mature than others may be in the situations I get myself into.” He says he's working on this, and that he's been apologizing to any men he may have been too forward with, but he maintains that he's never done anything as sinister as people think. We can't really recap everything he says in the video, but a big part of it is about Jeffree Star. Jeffree was friends with both James and Tati, and he pretty much inserted himself into all this drama. After Tati's original video, Jeffree tweeted that he agreed with everything she said, and added that James was “a danger to society.” In this video now, James took the opportunity to share several texts from Jeffree, which are disturbing, to say the least. In one, he calls James a “sick motherf-cker,” then writes “You need to be locked in prison for a long time. You need the internet taken away from you. You are a danger to society.” Jeffree also tweeted James' 17-year-old brother to “shut the f-ck up” and told him that in supporting his brother, he was supporting a pedophile. No matter how you feel about James Charles, a 33-year-old man taunting a 19-year-old, calling him a “sick motherf-cker” … that's too far, right? We'll wrap things up now, but honestly, we don't know who to believe here. Did James fake all those text messages? Was Tati trying to stir up some drama because of the vitamins? At this point, we can't say. But we can say that this entire thing is far from over. Check out James' full video below:
