Jordan Peele talks about his forthcoming horror flick, ‘Get Out,’ systemic racism, and whether Method Man was indeed visited in the night by a ‘night hag’
Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain Robbed By Random Hookup Careful who you bring home this weekend, ballers! With Superbowl LI coming up in two short days, and all the ballers and women who love them descending on Houston as we print this…a cautionary tale comes from Tennessee Titans lineman Quinton Spain. Spain thought he was going to have a typical night of fun with an attractive young thot he met out at an Orlando nightclub while on an out-of-town visit last week. The two apparently hit it off very well at the night spot, and decided to take things back to Spain’s hotel room. According to NYDN , once there, the woman made Spain a drink. Spain tells Orange County deputies he drank up…and has no recollection of what happened next. What he DOES remember is waking up later on and discovering that two of his gold chains, one worth $60,000 and another worth $13,000, and a $40,000 Rolex watch were all missing from his room . As was the woman, naturally. SMH! Well…we doubt ballers will stop bringing randoms back home for a good time. But maybe they’ll at least put their valuables in a safe or something before they do… Instagram
Khloe Kardashian really wants a baby. Like, she really, really, REALLY wants a baby , based on one recent report at least. But while Radar Online says Khloe is going “baby crazy” as a result of all the kids in her extended family running around all the time, a new source says there’s a problem with Kardashian’s grand plan. And that problem is this: her boyfriend won’t bang her! Indeed, while Khloe and Tristan Thompson appear to be going very strong in public, an insider tells OK! Weekly that they continue to disagree on something behind closed doors. Behind literal closed doors, we mean. This source tells the tabloid that Thompson is “worried that having too much sex will affect his performance on the court.” As a result, he won’t give it to Khloe as often as she would like him to, choosing instead to save his energy for potential put-back dunks after a LeBron James miss. It’s been an ongoing debate for years regarding whether or not having sex the night before a major sporting event actually has a negative effect on one’s performance. And it’s now clear where Thompson and his teammates stand on this topic. “The Cavaliers are top of their conference and the playoffs are looming. A lot of the guys have made a pact to sweat off sex to make sure they’re in peak physical condition – including Tristan,” says the source. Here’s the thing, however: First, the playoffs are not looming. We haven’t even reached the All-Star break yet. Secondly, the Cavaliers are struggling mightily these days. They have six losses in their last 10 games. They just went down to the lowly Dallas Mavericks. If Thompson and his colleagues really have been taking this no-sex stance, perhaps they ought to change their ways and treat their women to a few nights of passion here and there. Things couldn’t get much worse for the team at this point anyway. “Khloe is furious,” the magazine writes of how Kardashian is reacting to her lack of getting plowed. The timing of Thompson wanting to save himself for the court simply could not be worse. “After all the work she’s put into her body, she’s never felt sexier in her life, and complains that now she can’t even make the most of it,” the tabloid adds. Khloe is looking pretty darn good these days… This tension leads to an obvious question: Could Lamar Odom succeed in getting Khloe back ? Interviewed last week by Dr. Travis Stork on television, Kardashian’s ex-husband made his goal for 2017 as clear as possible when asked what he wants to do with his clean and sober future. “Umm, honestly, I want my wife back,” Odom responded very simply. Khloe has never been shy about admitting that Lamar is her one true love. So if he wants her back, and if he’s willing to take her from the back (or the front), then it wouldn’t surprise us if these two gave their romance another try.

Stars Allegedly Skipping This Year’s Grammy Awards Looks like Frank Ocean may have started a movement with his informal Grammy boycott. Word has it that Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake and a handful of other big names are planning on being busy with other isht on Grammy night. Much like Ocean, other artists see the ceremony as archaic, out of touch, and particularly not considerate of young people or Black people. According to TMZ , Justin Bieber, who’s nominated for 4 Grammys, is going to be elsewhere — mainly because the awards aren’t all that representative of young artists . Drake has 8 noms, but he’s on tour in Europe and not going out of his way to show up. As for 21-time Grammy-winner and 8 nominee holder…he may not show up either, since he’s never once won in a category when going against a white artist. The general consensus seems to be that the Grammys just aren’t relevant in the new music age. Do you agree?
The entertainment world has lost another legend. John Hurt, a veteran big screen star best known for his lead role in The Elephant Man, died on Friday night after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 77 years old. After TMZ shared the strong rumor late yesterday, this tragic piece of news was confirmed by Hurt’s very good friend, Richard E. Grant, on Twitter. “So so sad to have lost such an extraordinary talent and friend. Sir John Hurt. R. I. P.,” wrote Grant. Hurt was a two-time Academy Awards nominee whose career spanned six decades. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2014 and his Oscar nods were earned for for 1978’s Midnight Express; and for playing the title role of John Merrick in David Lynch’s e 1980 biopic, The Elephant Man. But you may also recognize Hurt from his roles in the following films: Alien V for Vendetta Harry Potter Dr. Who 1984 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Snowpiercer Jackie The beloved actor is survived by his wife of 12 years, Anwen Rees-Myer, along with two sons. She spoke to The Daily Mail shortly after Hurt passed and told the newspaper of her late husband: “John was the most sublime of actors and the most gentlemanly of gentlemen with the greatest of hearts and the most generosity of spirit. He touched all our lives with joy and magic and it will be a strange world without him.” Hurt portrayed wand merchant Mr. Ollivander in the Harry Potter film franchise, giving author JK Rowling a chance to get to know him. “So very sad to hear that the immensely talented and deeply beloved John Hurt has died. My thoughts are with his family and friends,” Rowling Tweeted several hours ago. Hurt had filmed a trio of movies prior to his death. Down the line, he will be seen in That Good Night, My Name Is Lenny and Darkest Hour, playing Neville Chamberlain. In 2012, Hurt was honored with a lifetime achievement award by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Speaking about his pancreatic cancer diagnosis to People Magazine in the summer of 2015, Hurt said the following: “I am undergoing treatment and am more than optimistic about a satisfactory outcome, as indeed is the medical team.” It was believed that the cancer had gone away some time that fall, but all indications at the moment point to complications related to the disease as the cause of Hurt’s death. “I can’t say I worry about mortality, but it’s impossible to get to my age and not have a little contemplation of it,” he told The Radio Times later in life. “We’re all just passing time, and occupy our chair very briefly.” Hurt did the most he possibly could with his time in that chair, however. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam

To be honest, we were so sad that the New Edition Story is over and want to hang on to the feeling of love and pride we experienced for the past three nights watching the group’s story on BET. So in an effort to hold on just a bit longer, here is a bit of behind the scenes information about what we’ve seen for the past few days. [ madamenoire ] Here’s Why We Shouldn’t Be So Worried About The Wall Trump Proposes Across Mexico’s Border Each day disturbing news breaks out over President Trump and his determination to put provisions in place against immigration, planned parenthood, healthcare, and the environment (hence, the Dakota/Keystone pipelines), and it’s only the first week of his presidency. Just yesterday, Trump’s plans to implement a wall to prevent illegal immigration shocked many Americans, as the divisive rhetoric spewed during election season became a reality. According to the NewYork Times, Trump’s “crackdown” on illegal immigration begins with the immediate construction of a wall across the borders of Mexico and a significant decrease in legal immigration from countries where Islam is most prevalent. Refugees from Syria will also be barred from entering the United States — a complete opposite of the diplomatic and bipartisan sanctions put in place during the Obama administration. What makes matters worse is Trump plans to fund the wall on the backing of American citizens (i.e. tax increases) and then be reimbursed by the Mexican government. As this should come as no surprise, even the President of Mexico has rejected this proposal. [ madamenoire ] Drake Reportedly Eyeing The Late Night Talk Show Circuit Legendary University of Kentucky coach John Calipari invited Drake to his new podcast for a chat that ranged between basketball, the entertainment world, and other various topics. But it was Drizzy’s mention of plans to enter the late night talk show foray that was most interesting. Coach Calipari’s Cal Cast podcast on Thursday (Jan. 26) and the bro-love fest was at its highest levels. However, the listen was refreshing to hear the Canadian superstar speak from a deep place of humility. The OVO boss spoke of his influences, such as Aaliyah, and shifted gears to discuss plans of some alternative career plans. He discussed his upcoming playlist project with Apple which will serve as a body of work that will, in his words, “bridge the gap” between his major releases in lieu of a mixtape. Beyond music, Drake envisions himself in the vein of a talk show host like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert. He’s already proven he’s got the acting and comedic timing chops during stints on SNL and he’s going to be hosting this year’s NBA Awards according to reports.
