Sebastian Telfair, once a star prep basketball player and eventually an NBA talent (he was drafted right out of high school), just got sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for gun charges. However, if you’ve been paying attention, this destiny was inevitable. Telfair was initially arrested in 2017 after police discovered guns in the car and another man were parked in illegally. According to Bleacher Report , Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced today (August 12) that Telfair caught the three-and-a-half year bid for gun possession. Back in April, it was reported that Telfair’s trial was nothing short of a circus. His estranged wife, and mistress, took the stand to drop dime on him while his sister basically threatened the former with the fade. In fact, Telfair’s sister was arrested by the FBI due to said threats a month later. Telfair would be eventually convicted of felony criminal possession of a weapon , and now he has learned his fate. Cold world. But at least it wasn’t the 15 years he could have been hit with.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Queen Of Hip Hop Soul Accused Of Owing Big Money In Back Taxes The Internal Revenue Service says Mary J. Blige is once again facing major tax troubles. The IRS accused the “No More Drama” singer of owing it big time for back federal taxes – to the tune of more than $1 million, BOSSIP has learned. Blige’s tax lien, filed late last month, accuses the newly single Blige of owing a total of $1,198,161. The feds said MJB failed to pay taxes on income from 2016 and 2017, according to the lien, which was obtained by BOSSIP. Despite being one of the biggest selling and best-loved hip hop soul artists of her generation, Blige has struggled with financial issues over the years. Blige still has outstanding federal tax liens totaling millions from when she was still married to her nex husband and former manager Kendu Isaacs. Blige’s new lien suggests that despite her split from Isaacs, she is still experiencing trouble handling her tax bills. We exclusively revealed that Blige narrowly escaped foreclosure on two New Jersey mansions, but is still on the hook for a suit accusing her of skipping out on about $60,000 in back rent on a luxe Southern California estate. Blige had not responded to the lien as of Aug. 12.

Source: John Lamparski / Getty The Joe Budden Podcast Episode 270 “Devastating” Yesterday was a very eventful one for one Joseph Anthony Budden II after his appearance on Nicki Minaj’s #QueenRadio went awry in a hurry. Prior to that, Joe’s weekly dose of brunch-booted shenanigans hit YouTube where he and the fellas talked about Rick Ross new album, Joe Biden’s comment about “poor kids” and much more. Press play to check it out. The next podcast is going to be a doozy. Ratings and streaming numbers for everybody.
Some TV shows manage to keep fans happy for the entire time they are on the air. Others, not so much. These 13 TV shows rubbed the fans the wrong way on more than one occasion. It probably explains why most of them are no longer on the air. 1. The Walking Dead The Negan storyline was a big deal. The moment it was teased that this comic book character was making his entrance into the TV iteration, everyone seemed excited … until he started killing off series regulars. Killing off Glen and Abraham on the Season 7 premiere in brutal fashion resulted in several complaints about the series. It never recovered in the ratings. 2. Arrow Oliver and Felicity broke up at least twice per season. The reasons for why got more ludicrous as the years went on, but still, many fans stopped watching the show in protest at just how many times this couple’s relationship was used to advance a series that was supposed to be about a superhero. 3. Empire When Empire arrived on the scene, it was bursting with the soapy goodness that TV viewers had been craving since Desperate Housewives went off the air. The show was an immediate hit for Fox, but the producers thought it would be a good idea to bring in several celebrities for guest appearances, and it took away from the escapism that the show was offering viewers. The ratings took a huge hit as viewers complained about the stunt casting. 4. The 100 The 100 was going from strength to strength until about halfway through its third season. The powers that be thought it would be rad to kill Lexa off … just as she and Clarke solidified their relationship. It did not go down well. 5. The Vampire Diaries Elena will always be remembered as one of the most crucial characters on The Vampire Diaries — even if Nina Dobrev quit two years ahead of the final season. The show was not the same without her, and the ratings circled the drain. It would have been better to just end the show in a strong way after the sixth season. 6. Game of Thrones For a show that will be remembered for decades after its finale, you would think the creative forces would have been able to craft a coherent final season. Instead, it was drivel, prompting fans to launch a petition to get the final season remade. It has clocked almost 1.8 million signatures. Wowza. View Slideshow
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty In waaaaaaaaay overdue news… Missy Elliott To Receive Video Vanguard Award The time has finally come. Missy Elliott is finally receiving MTV’s coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. The iconic Hefty bag baring rapper, producer and songwriter will receive the award on Aug. 26 at the 2019 VMAs. Variety reports that Missy will perform live at the awards show for the first time in 16 years. “Missy’s impact on the music landscape is indelible,” said Bruce Gillmer, MTV International co-brand head and Viacom music and music talent head. “Her creative vision across production, performance and songwriting is unmatched.” Elliott, a five-time Grammy Award winner and the first female hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, has sold more than 30 million records worldwide, thanks to hits like “Work It,” “Get Ur Freak On” and “WTF (Where They From).” She is the only female rapper to have six studio albums certified platinum. Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, and Kanye have all previously received the award in recent years. Last year the award went to J.Lo and there was noticeable upset on social media from folks who wanted the honor to go to Missy. Crissle West and Kid Fury of “The Read” helped push the need for Missy to be honored and Missy expressed her gratitude today on Twitter. I am Humbly Grateful to be receiving the MichaelJacksonVideoVanguard Award I Thank my FANS “Supafriends” who fought diligently to see this day come @KidFury @crissles who rooted for years 4 me I am crying happy tears Thank you God @MTV @vmas am SO HUMBLED pic.twitter.com/udfhBNc78k — Missy Elliott (@MissyElliott) August 12, 2019 Performance August 26th on @MTV I Thank you all again over 2 decades of support!

Source: MARTIN BUREAU / Getty Imagine a celebrity posting you on their social media page and it launches your career. Well, that’s the case for Ala’a Skyy. The 7-year-old model is now the newest ambassador for the natural haircare brand, The Mane Choice. The gorgeous model first caught our attention when Rihanna posted her on Instagram. Baring a striking resemblance to our favorite “Bad Gal,” the world quickly fell in love with her and the rest is history. The Mane Choice CEO and founder Courtney Adeleye couldn’t stop gushing over the young beauty in a statement. “Not only does she have an amazing attitude and work ethic at such a young age, she also loves her hair,” Adeleye shares. “She understands the benefits of using great products. It’s amazing!” View this post on Instagram Be prepared to receive exactly what you put out into the universe! Nothing happens by accident! It’s all apart of #GodsPlan One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time! Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them! Thank you @TheManeChoice for picking me and thank you @CourtneyAdeleye for flying me out to Las Vegas to see you and giving me one on one PRICELESS mentorship! I am so blessed beyond measure! I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise! As for now, it’s time to turn my straight hair back into my beautiful CURLS with #TropicalMoringa #AlaaSkyy x #TheManeChoice A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 4, 2019 at 6:49am PDT She shared her excitement via Instagram with a cute video singing, “I can’t wait to use my Tropical Moringa,” while holding two products from the Tropical Moringa Sweet Oil & Honey Endless Moisture Collection. Simply adorable! “One day you are using your favorite products because you love them and the next day you are using your favorite products and become their newest ambassador at the same time,” the caption read. “Dreams really do come true, if you believe YOU deserve them!” She concluded the caption saying, “I can’t wait to share with you all a BIG surprise!” While The Mane Choice is the young model’s first brand representative contract, she has already caught the attention of a beauty industry icon, Tyra Banks . According to BET, the beauty was offered a potential gig by Banks to audition for her ModelLand amusement park. “I lost my mind,” Tyra said. “ Rihanna looks like Tookie, the lead girl in the ModelLand story. Rihanna, I know you not gonna play Tookie. She might, you never know. But for this, I don’t think I’m necessarily going to get Rihanna for the movie. But I was like, we’re also looking for little girl Tookie. So I was like, that little girl looks like little girl Tookie, because Tookie’s also kind of inspired by me and my story.” Tyra added, “So I just became obsessed with this girl. I was like, ‘Help me! Who is this girl? Like, I want to find this girl and hopefully, possibly she can try out because she’s got to act and do all that stuff, to play little Tookie.” View this post on Instagram So many people said I inspired them today…..that in itself was a dream come true! Such an honor meeting so many beautiful people today and they all left with a smile! My mission is to leave a little sunshine everywhere I go! I have always been an expert selfie talker and today I became an expert usie taker #AlaaSkyy A post shared by Ala’a Skyy (@iambriakay_) on Aug 10, 2019 at 5:38pm PDT Ala’a is officially booked and busy! The young model is making her rounds just like a working model joining The Mane Choice at Beautycon LA this past weekend. Judging by the amount of love and support she received from fans and a growing Instagram following, her future in the beauty industry is looking very bright. The sky is definitely the limit for the star (pun intended). We can’t wait to see what this young queen has in store for us! Maybe a modeling contract with Wilhelmina or a Fenty Beauty campaign? The possibilities are truly endless!

Well, another summer is almost at an end. It’s a bummer in many respects, but fall offers much to look forward to — the return of football, memes about how much pumpkin spice flavoring sucks, and of course, a new season of Vanderpump Rules . After emerging as a surprise hit on Bravo’s roster back in 2013 Vanderpump has consistently delivered the goods for seven solid seasons now. But there’s no denying that the series has reached the point where most reality shows begin to show their age. Four cast members will get married this season (turns out Tom and Katie’s first wedding wasn’t legal), and now that Stassi is engaged to Beau Clark, with the exception of Kristen Doute, the entire cast is paired off in serious relationships. (In case you missed it, Billie Lee has quit the show . Newcomers often have a hard time with this bunch.) That’s great for the cast, but contented homebodies aren’t known for delivering dramatic fireworks, which could spell trouble for the future of the show. Fortunately, the ladies and gents who pretend to work at SUR remain as petty as ever, and if the feuds among them are fake, then they all deserve acting Emmys. This time around, it’s Kristen Doute who’s been cast out of the Witches of WeHo. The cause of the beef is unclear, but multiple sources have confirmed that Kristen is no longer on speaking terms with Stassi Schroeder or Katie Maloney. Over the weekend, Doute held a launch party for her new t-shirt line, and while Katie’s husband, Tom Schwartz, was on hand, she and Stassi were conspicuously absent. Stassi’s mother, Dayna Schroeder, confirmed on Instagram that there’s some bad blood, calling the feud “quite sad.” “I didn’t really know all the particulars. So I was out of the loop for awhile,” Dayna Schroeder explained. “Don’t you worry, it’s like Lion King and the circle of life. ….each one of these girls will grow, change and come back to their original strong friendship bond that they’ve always had. Somethings just take time.” We’re gonna guess that that quote was delivered after more than a few Pump-tinis! Anyway, Stassi mentioned the feud in passing on her podcast this week, but did not go into detail: “We’re at the homestretch from filming, I have a few days left. My brain is mush,” Schroeder told Clark during her latest episode. “The drama is killing me. I can’t anymore. I can’t talk about this s–t anymore,” she continued. “I’m literally dead inside.” Suddenly, we can’t freakin’ wait for fall! View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs
Sydney Sweeney is the breakout star of Euphoria thanks to her monster tits not her fetal alcohol syndrome inbred looking face. We’ve seen her in a lot of other things because some agent took a liking to her tits and has been getting her work. You know they chose her to be the one they grow and develop into a star…. But we really only got a taste of what Sydney Sweeney is all about when she let us know that the hormones in the food did wonderful things to her, like giving her monster tits, while the rest of her isn’t even fat… So here she is sugar-loading…to remind you that sitting outside an ice cream shop can get you arrested cuz it is one of the most pornographic places people go on a warm summer night….despite it being marketed as wholesome and family… My advice is for you to not go to a local ice cream store cuz your pervert public masturbation penis exposing self will get arrested cuz there will be girls like this one and they will have tits like this one…hormones in the food man..created a generation of girls like this..
