Vinne Paul, a veteran musician in the heavy metal music industry and a founding member of the band Pantera, died this week from unknown causes. He was 54 years old. The drummer’s death was announced by Pantera on Saturday via Twitter, as the group simply posted the following message: Vinnie Paul Abbott aka Vinnie Paul has passed away. Paul is best known for his work as the drummer in the bands Pantera and Hellyeah. No further details are available at this time. The family requests you please respect their privacy during this time. Paul helped create Pantera in the 1980s, along with his brother, guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott. Their father a famous country and western songwriter and producer named Jerry Abbott. The group enjoyed mainstream success with second lead singer Phil Anselmo. Throughout its career, Pantera earned four Grammy nominations and charted nine albums on the Billboard 200, including its 1994 album Far Beyond Driven, which debuted atop the chart at the time of its release. After Pantera split up, the Abbott siblings formed Damageplan in 2003. However, the band was performing in December 2004 when Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed onstage during a concert in Columbus, Ohio. Since 2006, Paul was the drummer for Hellyeah, a heavy metal band that included Mudvayne vocalist Chad Gray and  Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell. In the wake of Paul’s passing, some major names in the music business have shared their condolences on social media. Alice Cooper Tweeted the following: “Terribly saddened by the news of Vinnie Paul’s passing. “Vinnie was a beloved fixture in the rock and metal communities and we will miss seeing him out on the road. His impact on heavy music is immeasurable. Rest In Peace Vinnie, condolences to your family, friends and fans.” And then there was this from Slash: “Tragic news about Vinnie Paul today. “He was one of the warmest people I knew. A truly good & fun friend. We’re going to miss you more than you could possibly have known. RIP buddy.” And this from Bret Michaels: “Vinnie – You will be missed! You were an amazing human being & we had many great times together. A toast to you my friend, my prayers are with you!” And this from Dave Mustaine of Megadeth: “I just woke up in Belgium to the news that my friend Vinnie Paul has passed away. Another metal hero taken too soon. Say hello to Daryl for me. “Rest In Peace, my dear friend.” “Gutted to hear about the nicest guy in metal passing. Vinnie Paul showed us nothing but love. We’ll miss you Vinnie,” Papa Roach also wrote in response. As we said above, we do not know how Paul died right now or even on which day. We’ll update this story with more information and news as it breaks, May Vinnie Paul rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam

‘LHHATLS7’ Recap: Karlie Redd Gets Mad When Her Messy Friendtervention Backfires

Source: Robin Marchant / Getty Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta opens on a sad note. Kirk’s mother passed away so he and Rasheeda are in New York to bury her. Kirk is glad that he and Rasheeda put their differences aside in this time of grieving and is starting to realize how grateful he should be to have Rasheeda in his life and how much he played himself. You know how that goes—don’t take family for granted and all that good stuff. Kirk finally gives Rasheeda a genuine apology for all of his behavior. via GIPHY Spice complains to Erica Mena that working with Tommie has been difficult. In other news, it looks like Spice and Tobias, Tokyo Vanity’s ex, have a flirtation going on, and Spice plans to take him up on his offer for a date. We all know that’s going to be some mess. Erica then discusses her music career moves and how she has decided to not work with Danger Zone. That’s when Spice reveals that she heard that Estelita is still messing around with Stevie J. Erica is annoyed, for obvious reasons and says that this is the type of thing that messed up their friendship in the first place. Basically, Erica is over Estelita putting herself in messed up situations with Stevie then crying and playing the victim when Stevie does what he does because we all know by now that Stevie gon’ Stevie. via GIPHY Karlie Redd made good on her promise to do some snooping around about BK Brasco’s activities and managed to get some tea from a woman named Amber Priddy. We all know that BK Brasco is supposed to be Sierra’s boyfriend situation so she’s not going to be happy about this. Karlie thinks it’s a great idea to rent out a classy space where herself, Mimi, Sierra, Amber Priddy, and Tokyo Vanity to come together so everything can be put all out there. Mimi is there to keep the peace and Tokyo Vanity is Sierra’s friend so that’s moral support, I guess. via GIPHY Anyway, Amber says that she and BK Brasco have a thing going on. It’s not about love, but they have sex every time they see each other. She also says that according to BK Brasco, he and Sierra aren’t together and she has receipts, but we’ll get to that in a minute. Another woman named Joy walks in. Sierra does Joy’s eyebrows and Joy is also BK Brasco’s artist. But it also turns out that Joy and BK Brasco got a thing going on too. Amber says that BK told her that he also messes around with Joy. Sierra wants to know why the heck Joy never mentioned anything before. Joy says she doesn’t have any drama with Sierra and she didn’t mention it because it’s complicated. Basically, BK Brasco told Joy that he and Sierra are best friends and they do business together. That’s when Amber pulls out a conversation she recorded between she and BK Brasco confirming such. He is straight up saying that Sierra is his best friend. She says she taped this conversation because she knew something like this would happen. Now Sierra is really pissed. She’s mad at BK Brasco, at Amber, at Joy, and at Karlie Redd for thinking this meeting was a good idea. Meanwhile, Mimi is just confused. She’s sitting there looking like… via GIPHY Because what’s the purpose of this? We all know, it’s because Karlie loves being messy. And then…Karlie and Joy go back and forth because Joy is also wondering wtf! Joy throws a drink in Karlie’s face and Sierra and Tokyo walk out. Karlie is pissed at Sierra for walking out because, in her mind, she did this for her, and even took a drink for her. via GIPHY via GIPHY Later on, Sierra confronts BK Brasco about all of the above and he does what every creep on this franchise does—deny, deny, deny and then tries to turn to tables. He’s annoyed that she would believe these rumors and denies messing around with Amber. via GIPHY But when Sierra brings up Joy, his stutter game is strong until he gets his story together. He says that he and Joy had a fling when he first moved to Atlanta. Sierra asks why he didn’t say anything before, but he said that he dealt with Joy while Sierra was still with Shooter, that it was done before they got together and that he didn’t feel it mattered anymore. Sierra ate it up. via GIPHY On a brighter note, Keely and Bleu got their ish together. Keely let him see his son again and it was such a sweet reunion and now back to the drama… The episode winds down with Erica paying Estelita a visit. She wants to know how Estelita went from crying about Stevie playing her to sleeping with him again. Erica outright asks Estelita what the heck is up then starts admonishing her and telling her that she needs to be careful about Stevie and generally messing up her reputation. Erica is all of a sudden the oracle because she had her own similar situation with Rich Dollaz. Estelita isn’t trying to hear it now that Stevie is finally doing what she wants with her music and she wishes Erica would reserve her judgment for someone else. She is a grown woman so, that’s that. But once again, we all know that Stevie J is gonna do what Stevie J does and that Erica is actually right in this situation.

Chris Lopez: I Used to Love Kailyn Lowry AND Her Vagina!

When Kailyn Lowry gave birth to her third child back in 2017, fans were briefly hopeful that she’d finally found the stable, nuclear family situation that she’d been seeking since her teens. Lowry’s childhood was unstable, and her marriage to Javi Marroquin fell apart in heartbreaking fashion, but despite significant trust issues, in the early months of her pregnancy, Kail seemed head over heels for her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez. So when news that Lopez was by Lowry’s side in the delivery room went public, many took it as a sign that the beloved Teen Mom 2 star had finally found what she was looking for. Lopez was said to be MIA for most of Kail’s pregnancy, and there were reports that he wanted no part in his son’s life. Unfortunately, it now looks as though Chris’ fatherly feelings were short-lived. Lopez does spend time with little Lux, but Kail says it’s not nearly enough. She recently accused Chris of being an ” Instagram parent ” and giving his social media followers the impression that he’s much more involved in his son’s life than he actually is. Over the weekend, Chris posted yet another round of photos of Lux on Twitter, prompting one fan to ask just how involved in Lux’s life Lopez really is. Amazingly, Kail’s much-maligned ex was happy to respond. “Did you ever love kail? Do you guys have a good co-parenting relationship for Lux?? He’s really cute by the way,” Lopez’s follower tweeted. “Yea..and we’re co-parenting,” Chris responded, along with a laughing face emoji. Now, it’s possible that Lopez is being sarcastic and suggesting that he never loved Kail and that the two of them aren’t co-parenting at all. But it seems most fans seem to take his tweet as sincere. “That’s great,” the possibly-gullible fan followed up. “Some of us were under the impression you had nothing to do with the baby. Do you help financially? Was this something recent or have you been there since day 1?” Chris responded: “I wonder what gave y’all that impression. I watched my son shot out the box lol.” Again, if we had to guess, we would say Lopez is being sarcastic, but it seems his response was good enough for some fans. Whatever the case, it seems unlikely that Kail and Chris will ever be more than amicable co-parents, but hopefully, they’ll be able to keep the peace. Just in the past few months, Lowry and Lopez’s mutual contempt has spilled onto Twitter to the delight of drama lovers and the chagrin of Kail boosters. Just last week, Lowry accused Lopez of having another child that he kept secret from her during their brief courtship. So compared to some of the stuff Lopez has done before, talking about watching his son get “shot out the box” seems downright classy. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to marvel at Kail’s ability to cope with a mountain of baby daddy drama. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Chris Lopez is a Cheater and a Deadbeat Dad!

Angelina Jolie to Jennifer Aniston: Take Your Peace Offering and Shove It!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are over. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are over. But might Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston just be getting started?!? Indeed, according to a hilarious In Touch Weekly rumor, Aniston recently reached out to her long-time rival in hopes of getting together and burying a hatchet that has existed ever since Brad Pitt buried his … you know what inside Angelina’s… … sorry, nevermind. You probably get it. ANYWAY, the aforementioned tabloid writes in its latest issue that Aniston “extended an invitation” to sit down for a meal with Jolie because “Jen thought it was finally time to resolve the past.” Even the recent past. Just in the past few months alone, there’s been talk that Aniston and Pitt are getting back together , now that each is single. We’ve always doubted this chatter and it appears as if Aniston wanted to make sure Angelina didn’t believe any of it, either. Aniston was aiming for a “fresh start on all fronts” with Jolie, who this same report alleges responded as followed to Aniston: LOLOLOLOL, NO! We’re paraphrasing with that response, of course, but In Touch writes that Jolie turned down Aniston’s invitation. For what reason? The former Academy Award winner supposedly told Aniston that “she didn’t owe her an apology,” leading the magazine insider to conclude: “The whole idea to get together for dinner turned into a disaster.” Shocking, right? Aside from the obvious reasons why Jolie would scoff at this sort of request, Star Magazine claims that Aniston and Pitt have been hanging out of late, due to an intervention of sorts by George Clooney. The beloved actor is close friends with Pitt and has reportedly been in close contact with him ever since his September 2016 divorce from Jolie. “After Jen and Justin [Theroux, 46] announced their split, [Clooney] encouraged Brad to reach out and give their relationship another chance,” Star claims of Pitt and Aniston. This supposedly led to Pitt and Aniston getting together on the night of March 3, reminiscing about “the past” and sharing “a lot of laughs.” Overall, “it seemed just like old times, but better,” the tabloid reports. Naturally, news of this meeting of ex-lovers got back to Jolie, which helps explain why she never considered a sit-down with Aniston. Simply put, according to In Touch? “She’s furious about it.” Thankfully, even if Aniston does jump into bed again with Pitt, all hope is not lose for Jolie. There’s a certain handsome actor who wants to take her out on a date and who would probably not object to a round of intercourse, either. We can’t say for certain what will happen between them, but both Jolie and Aniston need to focus on the future. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons to Be Glad You Never Slept With Brad Pitt The former confirmed her split from Jolie over a year and a half ago, while Aniston separated from Theroux in February via the following statement: In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship . The stars had been together for seven years at the time and married for two years.

17 Years Ago Today, Diddy Was Found ‘Not Guilty’…But Shyne Wasn’t As Lucky

Source: Robert Mecea / Getty After being charged with five counts of bribery and gun possession in the 1999 Club New York shooting where three people were injured, Diddy (then, Puffy) was acquitted on March 16, 2001 thanks to his lawyers, Johnnie Cochran and  Benjamin Brafman . Diddy’s 21-year-old protégé Shyne , on the other hand, was found guilty of assault, reckless endangerment, and gun possession and would serve almost nine years in jail. Source: New York Daily News Archive / Getty Legend has it, the shooting happened during a misunderstanding as Diddy was leaving the club in the wee hours of the morning. Shyne allegedly opened fire when a stack of money was thrown in Diddy’s face ( one victim testified he saw Shyne running and holding a smoking gun ) and by the end of it all, a woman was shot—in the face. That woman, whose name is Natania Reuben, spoke out on Instagram when she saw this post a few years ago. She wrote in the comment section, “Thank you @roka973 I AM THE WOMA WHO WAS SHOT IN THE FACE THE MOST SERIOUSLY INJURED PERSON… I have suffered a great deal of PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL PAIN behind this FOOLISH DISPLAY OF EGO AND INSECURITY … God bless the others who shared in and survived this tragedy with me… I lay here in bed thanking God for sparing me in spite of all the tribulations… Feeling at PEACE… Only to see @upnorthtrips displaying sympathy for celebrities who played THE INSTRUMENTAL ROLL IN MY INJURY AND PAIN… Way to go @upnorthtrips give yourself a …… ” In 2011, MTV reported that Diddy settled with all three victims of the club shooting, and Reuben was reportedly paid $1.8 million. Hit the flip for more photos from the trial. #NeverForget.

Reg E. Cathey Dies; Veteran Actor Was 59 Years Old

Reg E. Cathey, a veteran actor likely best known to television fans for roles in House of Cards and The Wire, died this week from lung cancer. He was 59 years old. According to TMZ sources, Cathey was surrounded by friends, family members and loved ones at the time of his passing, which took place at his home in New York. It’s unclear at the moment for how long Cathey had been battling his illness. The Wire creator David Simon confirmed Cathey’s death on Twitter, leaving the following statement along with a photo of the veteran star: Reg Cathey, 1958-2018.  Not only a fine, masterful actor — but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set. On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing. Cathey was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series in 2014, 2015 and 2016, each time for his portrayal Freddy Hayes on HBO’s House of Cards. The character was the owner of a rib restaurant that provided the Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood a sanctuary and secret hideout. He won this Emmy Award in 2015. On Season 4 of The Wire – generally considered to be the legendary drama’s best – he played Norman Wilson, a reporter-turned-political operative who consulted with Tommy Carcetti as the latter quickly rose to prominence up in Maryland politics. Cathey also played a part on The Corner, Simon’s predecessor to The Wire on HBO. A native of Alabama, Cathey’s big screen resume included roles in Fantastic Four and Se7en. In response to this sad news, House of Cards creator Beau Willimon said the following on Friday evening: Reg Cathey was one of a kind. Brimming with life force, generosity, humor, gravitas and a fountain of talent. Loved by everyone lucky enough know him and work with him. He will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace, Reg. Having been in the business for so long, Cathey was mourned on social media by a wide range of actors from both the TV and movie worlds. To wit… Mike Colter : Go gentle into that good night my brother. It was an honor spending time with you on set. Getting to know you as a person and an artist. You will be missed. Condolences to your family. I salute you. Michael McKean : Reg Cathey was my friend and my wife’s friend and a great actor. I am very very sad. RIP, Reg. Bobby Cannavale : We lost a sweet, sweet man and a sweet, sweet, SWEET artist today. Rest In Power, Reg E. Cathey We will miss you. Chandra Thomas : Absolutely heartbroken. Reg, miss your brilliance, sharp wit and gracious love for your Cheremio beyond words…. Our thoughts go out to the family of Reg E. Cathey. May he rest in peace.

Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Who Was Evicted?

We think it’s fair to say that Celebrity Big Brother has brought the drama throughout its first week on the air.  We’ve had Brandi Glanville causing trouble, Omarosa wailing to Ross Matthews about how she would never vote for Donald Trump again and a big twist that allowed the head of household to be overthrown.  The first big event of the episode was the Power of Veto competition, and if you’ve been keeping up with our Big Brother spoilers , you will already know how that played out.  Keshia, James, and Chuck were players by default. Mark and Ari were picked by random draw, and Keshia chose Shannon to help her try and keep the nominations the same.  Omarosa was tasked with hosting the competition that found the houseguests spelling the biggest word. Shannon emerged as the winner, successfully spelling out “responsibilities.” That means Shannon won the first two competitions of the season and needs to dial it back a little if she has any hope of making it much further.  Proving to be a competition beast in week one can be detrimental to your place in the game. It’s a good thing Shannon is in that all-female alliance because they should all keep each other safe.  James and Ari came in the last place in the competition, so they had to wear baby costumes for 48 hours. They came to play Big Baby, it seems.  The nominations were kept the same, meaning James or Chuck would be going home. This meant James was the likely one to go, but there were some last-minute discussions that made everyone question the target.  Eviction One Votes: Brandi Glanville votes to evict: Chuck Ariadna Guiterrez votes to evict: Chuck Omarosa votes to evict: James Ross Mathews votes to evict: Chuck Metta World Peace votes to evict: Chuck Marissa Jaret Winokur votes to evict: Chuck Shannon Elizabeth votes to evict: Chuck Mark McGrath votes to evict: Chuck By a vote of 7-1, Chuck was the first houseguest evicted from Celebrity Big Brother! He was furious, but it was a last-minute blindside that will likely come back to haunt some of the players.  Omarosa voting to evict James seemed like a strategic move to cause some unrest in the all-female alliance. It seems a bit early to be doing that, but we all knew she would be causing as much trouble as possible.  The power is back up for grabs, and we cannot wait to see who has been crowned the next HOH. The results and should be announced today at some point.  What do you think of the results? Hit the comments below.  Big Brother continues Sunday on CBS.  View Slideshow: Celebrity Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Going Home?!
