Hate Crime: Jussie Smollett Hospitalized After Homophobic Attack By MAGAs

Source: Theo Wargo/Getty Images / Getty Prayers up! Jussie Smollett Attacked In Racist Hate Crime We’re extended our heartfelt prayers to Jussie Smollett after he was viciously attacked in Chicago. ThatGrapeJuice broke the news that the “Empire” actor was targeted and beaten late Monday by two unidentified men in ski masks. They add that Jussie had previously received a startling message through mail calling him a “f***t.” “You will die black f***t,” read the note.   TMZ has additional details and they’re reporting that the actor was attacked while leaving a local Subway restaurant by white men who yelled, “Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?” They then attacked him, fractured a rib, and put a noose around his neck while yelling “This is MAGA country.” The men also reportedly poured bleach on him. Jussie was taken to Northwestern Memorial and discharged. Chicago Police are investigating the incident which seems premeditated. This story is still developing… ***Update*** The Chicago Police department released a statement saying that detectives are investigating and asking the public to send tips to CPDTip.com. Chicago Police Department just sent out this statement re: Jussie Smollett pic.twitter.com/DxQswZn8xd — philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) January 29, 2019 We’re praying for you Jussie!

Lolo Jones Reportedly Slapped The Glasses Off Tamar Braxton

Source: CBS Photo Archive / Getty Former olympic athlete Lolo Jones reportedly slapped the sunglasses off Tamar Braxton on a recent episode of  Celebrity Big Brother.  Cameras caught Tamar and Lolo in a heated verbal altercation, however, the surveillance footage abruptly ends during their dispute. According to several reports, tension between Tamar and Lolo had been building and boiled over on Sunday night. “I’ve had growing frustrations with Tamar because every day Tamar is mad at someone,” Jones said during her confessional. “I’m starting to feel like a punching bag and it’s exhausting.” Tamar grew irate when Lolo apparently called her a “b*tch,” and threatened to start “yanking,” to which Lolo responded, “do it.” And that’s when cameras cut the feed. Despite certain reports, Lolo wasn’t kicked off the show and allegedly apologized to Tamar. According to ETOnline, “they hugged it out.” Tamar’s time on Celebrity Big Brother has been nothing short of entertaining. Since the moment she’s gotten there she’s had beef with pretty much everyone, including her former tour mate Kandi Burruss. Celebrity Big Brother airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

High Fashion Kink: 3 Thoughts Now That The Harness Is Taking Over The Red Carpet

Source: John Sciulli / Getty On Sunday, stars of the Black Panther showed up and showed out at the 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards. Along with winning Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, the thespians of Wakanda also destroyed the red carpet with lewks for the ancestors. However, despite the  turtleneck greatness from  Chadwick Boseman or the  Black-don’t-crack aura from people like Angela Bassett , one BP star had critics and fans more…divided. Michael B. Jordan showed up in a cross-body Louis Vuitton harness that was splattered with the label’s signature monogram. The watercolors of pink, lilac, white and black hit against Jordan’s double-breasted navy and black suit. Peep a closer look below… Source: Splash News / Splash News While some thirsty commentators were here for the floral-looking harness… michael b jordan in a harness!?? P H E W — ya girl ! (@cptcaroldnvrs) January 28, 2019 Others took a more critical, direct approach… i will break my silence on the michael b jordan harness: no! — hunter harris (@hunteryharris) January 28, 2019   Michael B isn’t the first star to bring harnesses to the red carpet either. The unorthodox accessory has the potential to become a popular trend. According to Vogue , we have the head of Louis Vuitton’s menswear Virgil Abloh to thank. The designer revealed “harness-wear” at a presentation for his Spring 2019 collection and it didn’t take long for big names to notice the look. First, Call Me by Your Name star Timothy Chalamet wore a Black sequined harness at the 76th Golden Globes…   Then actor, singer and model  Kris Wu  debuted a black leather harness look at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2019 show in Paris…   With Michael B. taking the reigns…or the harness, it’s clear this trend might not be leaving anytime soon. With that being said, certain conclusions can be made about the impact harnesses can have on the culture. Hit the next pages to find out what they are!

Ashley Martson Announces Need for Surgery, Asks for Prayers

Ashley Martson is back with an update on her health status. Unfortunately, however, the 90 Day Fiance star does not have great news to share. “Happy Friday, Everyone! I will no longer be doing any new promos, endorsements, cameos, or any PR as of Feb 8,” she wrote late last week, explaining why as follows: “If I have already signed with you it will be done. If I have not, I will not be available until mid March for anything. “I will be undergoing surgery and will be down at least a month.” This message comes two weeks after Martson was found unresponsive inside her home. She was thankfully discovered before it was too late and rushed to a local hospital, where doctors determined that kidney failure – as a result of her Lupus diagnosis – was to blame for the scary incident. “Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us,” she wrote at the time. And now Ashley has made a similar request. “Fans, all I ask for is prayers,” she added on Friday, continuing: “I will not be sharing much information about my health any longer, my willingness to overshare came with nothing but scrutiny and backlash. “I need to focus on my health, family, and recovery for that month. I appreciate all who support me very much #90dayfiance #tlc #healthcomesfirst.” It’s true that many social media users had the nerve to give Ashley grief after she initially shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed. People can really suck, huh? The 32-year-old also spent Christmas in the hospital after a flare-up of Lupus-related symptoms. She’s had a very difficult past few months, on multiple personal fronts. As 90 Day Fiance viewers are aware of, husband Jay Smith admitted to cheating on Martson mere days after the two became husband and wife. He apologized and was reportedly by Ashley’s side after her collapse a couple weeks ago, but the relationship is understandably tenuous. In fact, Martson filed for divorce from her spouse of eight months on January 11. However, she then withdrew the paperwork after less than two weeks, a court clerk from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania confirmed on January 24 to Us Weekly and other outlets. For what reason? We can’t say. But we aren’t about to judge Ashley during this rough time. We’re simply going to wish the reality star the best on her road to recovery.

The Clown-umentary: People Tried To Tell Game To 86 Uncouth Lyrics About Kim K Chowing Down On Kid Custard

Source: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images/Gabriel Olsen/Get / Getty The Game Was Told To Take Out Kim Kardashian Lyrics The Game had the computers putin’ yesterday after a listening session for some of his new music. One grotesque line, in particular, has him lookin’ like the newest member of the Barnum & Bailey Circus: “I held Kim Kardashian by the throat, n****, I made her swallow my kids until she choked, n****” According to TMZ , people close to the ignorant Compton rapper told him to cut that line out of the song and come up with something, anything, less offensive, but he wasn’t trying to hear it. At the very least they implored Jayceon to reach out to Kanye West to explain the line, not that there is much explaining you can do after you’ve said something like that… Obviously, the biggest question about all this is how will Kanye react? We saw how distraught he was over the idea that Drake had once bedded his beloved, but will he keep that same energy toward someone a bit more…uncouth than Aubrey. Only time will tell. One thing that time has already decided is that The Game is a top-tier bozo who should be treated as such. Continue reading

Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank, He Dashed, He Got Caught

It's very easy to make Ryan Edwards jokes right now. The former Teen Mom star just got arrested for the umpteenth time for drug possession and may be headed back to prison. But Maci Bookout's ex-husband and Mackenzie Standifer's current husband clearly has a legitimate problem. He has an addiction. He also has a newborn son at home. The poor little guy. So we aren't gonna blast Ryan here, we're just gonna relay the latest from his arrest. Courtesy of a Chattanooga Police Department report obtained by Radar Online, here is what we now know… 1. This is What Prompted the Arrest: A Bud’s Sports Bar server contacted the authorities after Edwards drank and dashed on December 19, 2018. 2. What Does That Mean? It means Edwards skipped out on his restaurant tab. He tried not to pay it. 3. How Much Did He Owe? “Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them” the report reads. (That’s a pretty good deal for whiskey drinks, we agree.) 4. For How Long Was He at the Bar? From noon to 4 p.m., police say. 5. From There… An officer tracked down Ryan through the Criminal Justice Portal and the server confirmed his identity through this photo. A warrant was issued for his arrest. 6. Cue the Arrest The father of two was arrested on January 23, 2019. Hamilton County charged him with theft of services and held him on $500 bond. Ryan was also charged with possession of heroin from a Red Bank warrant. He’s being held on no bond for the second charge. View Slideshow

Gina Rodriguez Tells On Herself & Cardi B Strikes Back: This Week’s Winners & Losers

Go here to see the original:

Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty Per usual, conservatives had to get collected, and the non-Blacks had to have several seats this week. Check out our winner for the week below, then hit the next page for the tear-filled L. Winner Cardi B  Aaah, when Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar talks politics, it’s like music to the ears. Of course, I’m talking about Cardi B giving her commentary on the government shutdown and how trash it is. She initially gave her thoughts on Instagram last week saying, “Our country is in a hell hole right now, all for a fu**ing wall, and we really need to take this serious.” She continued, “I really feel bad for these people that gotta go to fu**ing work to not get motherfu**ing paid.” Literally are deepest, truest thoughts in symphonic sounds. Peep her whole spiel below.   Thanks for speaking up Cardi. Oh wait… What’s that? Ignant alabaster representative Tomi Lahren had something to say about Cardi’s politics? Looks like @iamcardib is the latest genius political mind to endorse the Democrats. HA! Keep it up, guys! #MAGA2020 — Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) January 17, 2019   Cardi had a word for that. Leave me alone I will dog walk you . https://t.co/FjqIzpUbvp — iamcardib (@iamcardib) January 20, 2019   Hold up… Another conservative minion, Stephanie Hamill , tried to come for Cardi by shaming her a$$-shaking in the “Twerk” music video? In the Era of #meToo how exactly does this empower women? Leftists, @iamcardib , feel free to chime in. THX .. pic.twitter.com/59fyDxrYAz — Stephanie Hamill (@STEPHMHAMILL) January 21, 2019 Belcalis also had a word for that, which read like Mozart No. 5. It says to women that I can wear and not wear what ever I want. do w.e I want and that NO still means NO. So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested ? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks https://t.co/8UBQQzO6jK — iamcardib (@iamcardib) January 22, 2019 Cardi ended her public dragging of the conservatives with a final word that, quite honestly, resembled a lush four-part harmony. All these conservatives been harassing me and telling me the most disgusting things these past few days.Listen I’m not telling ya to turn liberal all I’m saying is to admit that your president is fuckin up this country right now! Liberal or conservative we ALL suffer as citizens. — iamcardib (@iamcardib) January 22, 2019   They tried the wrong Bronx girl.
