Nintendo Reveals Release Date For ‘Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order’

Robert Kraft: Video of Patriots Owner Getting a Hand Job Is Coming Your Way!

Back in February, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested for his alleged involvement in a prostitution ring. Prosecutors claimed the billionaire was a regular client at Orchids of Asia, a Jupiter, Florida massage parlor that specialized in “happy endings.” Yes, that’s a euphemistic way of saying Mr. Kraft was frequently getting cranked off in a Sunshine State strip mall. Folks, this is what a 10-figure net worth looks like in Donald Trump’s America. Anyway, the whole situation has been a nightmare for Kraft and the Patriots organization, both of which have been mired in controversy for years. In all likelihood, Kraft will beat the charges against him and avoid jail time. (For an explanation of why we’re making this prediction, see that earlier bit about the 10-figure net worth.) But that doesn’t mean Kraft will be able to put this scandal behind anytime soon. Florida prosecutors are in possession of a tape that reportedly shows Kraft “receiving sexual services” at Orchids of Asia. Thus far, Kraft has been able to block the public release of the video, but apparently, it’s already been shopped to several media outlets by an unknown seller. According to The Blast , which was one of the outlets to receive the tape, the footage shows Kraft “undressed and laying on the massage table with his hands placed behind his head.” We’re guessing that’s also how he greets Roger Goodell after every Patriots Super Bowl victory. Interestingly, Kraft’s arrest came just days after the Pats yet again outraged America by triumphing over the LA Rams in a battle of coastal elite cities that was about as thrilling as watching a painting of growing grass dry. We’re not saying the two events are related, but the timing might be evidence that there is a God, and he hates the Patriots just as much as the rest of us. Despite earlier reports that Kraft was part of a human sex trafficking ring, it now looks as though Orchids of Asia was nothing more than an old-fashioned handy hut. Even so, Kraft’s involvement in this ordeal is beyond creepy. We understand why an elderly widower might turn to prostitutes for “companionship,” but this is a guy who could’ve been enjoying intimate evenings at home with top-dollar escorts. Instead, he was getting his knob polished in a strip mall by underpaid and seemingly mistreated immigrants who proceeded to hose off his juices with something called a “table shower.” Supposedly, owners are held to the same standard of conduct as players, but you know if this were a 22-year-old WRoC (wide receiver of color), there would be no talk of him returning to the league. Just sayin’.

Khloe Kardashian to Jordyn Woods: Quit Playing the Victim!!

Earlier this week, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailer dropped, revealing Khloe screaming that her “family was ruined.” On the same day as that meltdown teaser aired, Khloe took to Instagram to share some not-so-subtle messages, as is her habit. In them, she doubles down on her dislike of Jordyn Woods, accusing her of “playing the victim.” Khloe Kardashian has been in the habit for months now of vagueposting on Instagram. Where some might subtweet, writing “annoyed af right now” without context, Khloe has developed a particular style. She shares posts that appear to be words of wisdom or pieces of advice in a format usually used by, frankly, much much older folks on social media. But Khloe’s messages appear to be extremely relevant to her life, and it is believed that when she shares them, it’s meant as commentary. Khloe’s latest post reads: “Stay away from people who play the victim knowing they’re in the wrong.” If you think that Khloe is talking about Jordyn Woods, you’re not alone. HollywoodLife explains that Khloe is still hung up on the much younger woman, and that it’s about more than just the kiss with Tristan. “Khloe still cannot believe Jordyn is telling people she reached out to her,” an insider reports. Additionally, the source says that “Khloe doesn’t understand why Jordyn went on Jada’s show.” “She’s finding it very hard to wrap her head around,” the insider describes. “And,” the source adds, Khloe “is telling people she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to forgive her for that.” “It’s not the fact that she hooked up with Tristan,” the insider reports. “Khloe wishes Jordyn just called her and said, ‘I made a mistake and I’m sorry,’” the source explains. “And,” the source concludes. “She’s upset she never got that.” It sounds like Khloe wants Jordyn to grovel before her and just accept the version of events that Khloe has decided to believe. When Jordyn told the world that Tristan gave her an unsolicited kiss, Khloe accused her of “lying.” “Narcissists have tow sets of rules,” Khloe shared in yet another Instagram Story. “They demand YOU do all the apologizing,” the post continues. “YOU respect them, YOU can’t say anything or criticize them.” “YOU do whatever they say,” it adds. “And YOU can’t have feelings or express those feelings.” “However,” Khloe’s post observes. “None of those feelings apply to them.” While this could be a general piece of advice post, it appears that Khloe is talking about how she feels silenced and wrongfully maligned. Khloe continues: “They can do and say whatever they want, whenever they want.” That reminds us a little of Khloe’s issues with Jordyn going on Red Table Talk , though we’re not sure that this is all about Jordyn. The post says that narcissists “never apologize.” Narcissists are also allowed, by their rules, to “be totally disrespectful.” “And,” the post concludes. “They seem to think it’s perfectly fine.” While that sounds like a description of plenty of people’s toxic parents, Khloe seems to share things that hit closer to home. The latest Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailer includes Khloe going through a lot of emotional turmoil. One scene shows her screaming “LIAR!!!” mid-conversation into her phone. Another shows her screaming that her “family was RUINED.” Many sympathized with Khloe a year ago when Tristan’s cheating scandal was exposed (the one-year anniversary of that will be April 10). But when Khloe kept him in her life and then lashed out very publicly at Jordyn Woods as she did, people did not appreciate it. Perhaps Khloe shared these quotes because she doesn’t want to be ridiculed for all of that screaming. After the backlash that her anti-Jordyn tweet received, maybe Khloe wants to avoid being told to shush. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter

Olivia Jade Giannulli Enters Hiding, Cuts Ties With Parents Amid College Bribery Scandal

Weeks after the world learned that several well-heeled parents were ensnared by Operation Varsity Blues, the college admissions bribery scandal continues to make headlines. And of course, the public’s continued interest in the story is much to the chagrin of its principal players, including 19-year-old social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli. Olivia is the daughter of Full House actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. Loughlin was among those arrested in connection with the scandal, and she stands accused of paying out $500,000 in bribes and participating in a scheme to convince the USC admissions board that her daughters are elite athletes. From the start, Olivia was one of the most high-profile participants in the scandal, not only because of her massive social media following, but also because she was upfront about the fact that she had no interest in attending college and was doing so only to appease her parents. As such, she became a sort of poster child for privilege and entitlement, but in the weeks since news of the scandal broke, some observers have reevaluated Olivia’s role and begun to consider her a victim rather than a perpetrator. These days, Olivia has dropped out of USC and is reportedly in hiding at her boyfriend’s house. Giannulli lost her deal with Sephora , as well as several other high-profile sponsorships, and insiders say she fully blames her overbearing parents. “Olivia has been staying with her boyfriend in Malibu. She’s not talking to her parents right now,” one source tells Us Weekly. “Olivia hasn’t been out with friends. She is completely in hiding right now,” the source continues. “Olivia is posting private stories on her Instagram, using the only-close friends option, to share her days on social media with her close circle.” In keeping with what we’ve been hearing so far, the source confirms that Giannulli is royally pissed at her parents and blames them for destroying her career as an influencer. “A lot of Olivia’s friends have been telling her not to be mad at her parents since they were just trying to do the best they could for her, but she doesn’t listen,” the source reveals. “Olivia feels she is the victim.” Cheer up, Olivia. You’re not wrong to be a little pissed at your parents, but we have some good news: This scandal has made you about 1000 percent more interesting than most influencers. Plus, you’ll be better able to relate to your audience now! Most of us feel like victims all the time!

Rasheeda Stepped Out On Kirk, Spice Bleaches Her Skin, Scrapp + Moniece… & More Mess In #LHHATL Super Trailer

Follow this link:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty With both Love & Hip Hop: New York and Miami out of the way, its time to head back to Atlanta and based on this super trailer things are going to be absolutely M E S S Y. The gangs all here plus some players to get down with the foolishness we have all come to expect when this cast gets together. Right off the bat, we see Mimi has a problem with Stevie J introducing their daughter to his new wife Faith Evans before her. The couple who were cordial with each other lately seems to be heading back to the good old days when they could stand each other. We also find out that Mimi was shot at by someone trying to break into her home but did not tell Stevie about the incident. He seems very pissed about that after learning about the scary situation from his child. Arguably one of reality television’s most annoying couples Rasheeda and Kirk are still going strong despite her husband stepping out her numerous times. Rasheeda even warms up to Kirk’s new son welcoming him into the Frost household, but she reveals a secret when she says that she also cheated in their relationship. Still doesn’t excuse Kirk but we can’t wait to hear all the details about that. Scrapp DeLeon is out of jail, he’s not entirely free cause he has to stay at a halfway house and is only allowed to leave for a few hours a day. Turns out that is more than enough time to get into trouble with the women in his orbit. While the mother of his child is happy to see him giving him the key to her goodies, turns out he’s been seeing Moneice Slaughter as well. So with this appearance, she has been on all of the Love and Hip Hop properties, she’s gotta get some sort of prize for that. International Reggae music star Spice is looking to boost her career, and to do so she feels the need to do a publicity stunt bleaching her skin , but her friends are not rocking with the idea. Scrappy and Bambi are happy and are awaiting the arrival of their child, but their mothers can’t seem to get along. Tokyo Vanity’s weight is becoming an issue with friends, Joc has a new boo and Karlie who is now engaged is embroiled in a love triangle involving a threesome she says did not partake in. Oh its all so messy, you can watch it all go down in the super trailer below and catch the season 8 premiere of  Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta on VH1 March 25. — Photo: Prince Williams / Getty

Black Thought Names 2020 Presidential Candidates In Freestyle [Video]

See the original post:

The 2020 Presidential election only 599 days away and while it seems like an eternity, the orange white supremacist in the White House will certainly make it feel much longer. Needless to say the fate of our country and our democracy is riding on who wins next year and Black Thought gave a quick freestyle in which he names the nominees that voters need to get familiar with. On Tuesday night’s episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , the Roots MC quickly name-dropped the candidates running for the highest office in the land. “We’ve got Warren in the race, and she’s ready to rock/ We’ve got Julian and Harris pulling up on the block/ Cory Booker and Delaney have the bald game locked/ And Bernie’s back again, he’s lookin’ like he got shot,” Thought rhymed before dropping a few more candidates and a Hip-Hop long shot. “And then Beto’s there, and Biden gives a massage/ It’s only 2019, and it’s anyone guess/ Oh, and we’re still waiting to hear from Mr. Kanye West.” If you thought Donald Trump was an emotionally unstable “commander-in-chief” can you imagine what a self-professed bipolar disordered Presidential candidate would be like? Entertaining sure but also terrifying. Kinda like the past few years. Check out Black Thought’s freestyle below and remember to get out and vote for sanity and democracy come 2020.

Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins Reportedly Paid $1 Million To Play ‘Apex Legends’

Original post:

Source: Robert Reiners / Getty Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins is out here collecting more coins than Mario. It is being reported the ridiculously popular Twitch streamer was paid $1 million to play EA’s new battle royale game Apex Legends. Who said playing video games doesn’t pay the bills? It was widely known that the EA enlisted the help of the video game streaming community to help get the word out about Apex Legends , but people still wondered exactly how much did the studio pay these individuals? A new Reuters report is claiming that EA backed up the Brinks truck for Ninja giving the Fortnite legend a $1 million to play and Tweet about the game on February 5th oh and reportedly he wasn’t obligated to for a long time either. While this seems a bit extreme to help promote a game an EA spokesperson told Kotaku  that any gameplay after “midday” was “completely organic” if they kept playing the game. The amount of money he pulled in reportedly to play Apex is significantly higher than what he usually pulls in. Ninja revealed to CNN that he  was pulling in $500,000 and hinting at bringing even more than that on a “good day.” Keep in mind that is split between his Twitch, YouTube streams, and sponsorships. There is no word on how much the other streamers were paid, but it would seem that EA’s efforts paid off as Apex broke Fortnite’s record for reaching 10 million players in 72 hours of its release. While this practice might is a tad bit shady, don’t be shocked if other game studios looking to get the word out about its game will go the same route and rely on streamers cause clearly it works. — Photo: Robert Reiners / Getty
