Kanye West: Taking His Feud with Jay Z to the Courtroom?!

Remember when Kanye West and Jay Z used to be friends? Oh, how times have changed … Jay and Kanye go all the way back to the early 2000s, when Kanye worked as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records. They’ve collaborated multiples times, most notably on the 2011 album Watch the Throne and the subsequent tour. Kanye has even been one of the key members in Jay Z’s music streaming company, Tidal. By all accounts, they’ve been extremely close for years — but at some point within the last several months, all that has changed. According to a rant Kanye went on during a concert last October, the issues started because he and Jay recorded verses for a Drake song, but Jay demanded the verses be excluded from the final cut “out of respect for Meek.” Because Meek Mill and Drake don’t get along, and Jay Z didn’t want to rock the boat. Kanye called it “some Tidal/Apple bullsh-t,” and he seemed very upset that Jay chose the politics of the music industry over artistry. His rant got more personal though as he claimed that their children have never played together, and that Jay Z never called him after Kim’s Paris robbery. A month later, he still had some feelings on the subject. “Jay Z, call me, bruh,” he begged during another concert. “You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, call me.” “Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head . Just call me. Talk to me like a man.” The day after that, Kanye was hospitalized for his mental breakdown, so we imagine there’s a good chance Jay Z never got a hold of him. Several months went by without any updates on the feud, but just a couple of days ago, Jay Z dropped his brand new album on Tidal. And in one song, he made it clear that his issues with Kanye were far from resolved. “I know people backstab you, I feel bad too,” he rapped. “But this ‘f-ck everybody’ attitude ain’t natural. But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe , but you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye.” “You have him 20 million without blinkin’, he gave you 20 minutes on stage, f-ck was he thinkin’?” “‘F-ckin’ wrong with everybody?’, is that what you sayin’? But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane.” And now Kanye has officially had it. According to a new report from TMZ, Kanye has officially left Tidal over claims that the company owes him over $3 million. He’s not leaving the company over Jay’s new song though — sources say that Kanye’s lawyers sent Tidal a letter about a month ago explaining his issues. The issues are that he was promised a bonus for bringing new subscribers to Tidal after exclusively releasing his last album through the service, but he never got the money. He also claims that the company was supposed to reimburse him for music videos for the album, but they haven’t done that, either. His lawyers have told Tidal that due to these issues, his contract was terminated, but Tidal disagrees — they say that they still have exclusivity for Kanye’s new music. They’ve said that if he goes against their original contract, they’ll sue, which is cool with Kanye, because he’ll sue them back. Again, remember when these guys were friends? It looks like those days are really and truly over. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming

Kailyn Lowry: Anxious and Afraid of Being a Mother of Three?!

In just a few weeks — or less! — Kailyn Lowry’s life will change drastically. And that’s because sometime very, very soon, Kailyn will give birth to her third child . Things are a little different for her this time around — with both of her previous pregnancies, the babies’ fathers were involved. Jo Rivera, the father of her first child, Isaac, may not have been the best back when their kid was born, but still, he was present. His parents also helped out a lot with the new baby. Then, when little Lincoln was born, Kailyn was married to Javi Marroquin and, at least then, things seemed pretty stable. But the father of her third child is Chris Lopez, a guy she dated briefly but has since cut himself out of the picture . And that’s why, according to a source who spoke with Hollywood Life, Kailyn is getting pretty nervous about the months to come. “Kailyn is all over the place right now,” the source claims . “She’s battling the stress of dealing with all the preparations for the new baby, as well as looking after Isaac and Lincoln, all while attempting to ready herself mentally to go through this birth without a partner.” Yeah, that sounds like a lot to handle. “As any mom knows,” the source says wisely, “it’s scary enough of an experience when you have your other half there with you, but this time Kailyn won’t have that , and the reality of the situation is finally starting to sink in.” Normally this is about the time where we’d point out that perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to plan a pregnancy with a guy while still married to another man, but this is too sad. The insider goes on to explain that “As far as Kailyn is aware, Chris wants nothing to do with the baby and doesn’t want any part in its life — period.” “It’s all so distressing for Kailyn, and her hormones are all over the place right now, which just makes it all the harder to deal with.” The source says that in her previous pregnancies, this was about the time when she’d start to get seriously into nesting — preparing her home for the new baby. It was “her favorite part of being pregnant,” but “this time she’s just full of anxiety and worry.” And just in case this whole thing wasn’t tragic enough, the source gives one more blow … “Even though it’s still a long way in the future, Kailyn can’t help but worry about what she will tell her child when they eventually ask about daddy and why he isn’t around.” Maybe that’s why, as we heard last weekend, she could be regretting giving up on her marriage to Javi . Or maybe it’s why she’s been taking so many vacations lately — to put a positive spin on this bittersweet experience. Whatever Kailyn is feeling right now, and whatever her hopes or fears are for the future, we wish her all the best with her upcoming delivery.

Where’s Swizz? Mashonda And Alicia Keys Peacefully Party Together In Berlin [Video]

Mashonda And Alicia Keys Club Together In Germany The side-chick saga that led to Swizz Beats’ divorce from Mashonda and marriage to Alicia Keys is beyond water under the bridge at this point. So much so, in fact, that Mashonda and Alicia’s relationship goes well beyond cordial and mature into an all-out firendship at this point. Alicia and Mashonda have both gone on record to praise their blended family preciousness and talk about how they were all able to mature to get things working functionally for the kids…but we’ve never seen these two just chilling one-on-one without any of the boys or Swizz around. But, as both ladies were in Berlin last night for Swizz’s “No Comission” Art Event , the two decided to hit a spot together and rock out to Kendrick Lamar. Welp good for them! We definitely don’t want to tell all the adulterers out there that they’re on the right track…but things certainly worked out swimmingly for this trio. Unless Mashonda is on some secret mission to get close enough to Alicia to end her life and not be implicated…but it LOOKS like everyone is cool. Ladies, if you lost your marriage this way, do you think you could kick it in VIP with your ex-husband’s lover-turned-new wife years on down the road? WENN/Splash/Instagram

Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Being Sent Home?

It’s been a crazy first week inside the Big Brother house, and the action does not look like it’s going to die down anytime soon.  With Megan self-evicting and leaving the house, Alex was put on the block by Cody, and most of the ladies seem to want her gone because she proved during the HOH competition that she was a strong competitor.  Jessica made it clear to Cody that they should be targeting her for eviction, but Cody has been having conversations with Matt and Mark about it being silly to send her out of the game so soon.  The three men feel like she could be loyal to them if they show her they are not sending her home. They do have a point, but would it be worth turning on their alliance so soon?  Maybe Cody realizes that Jessica is just using him to shield her from the block.  Turns out, neither of them needs to worry about it since Alex dominated the POV competition, securing her safety. However, Jessica seemed to think Cody threw the competition to her and seemed jealous her showmance is in danger.  Yes, there are showmances already. Would it be Big Brother without them? Surprisingly, the target for a backdoor eviction is Jason. Paul’s name is not being thrown around … yet. According to the feeds, Paul won three weeks of safety and cannot be put on the block.  He’s keeping it to himself until he needs to reveal the truth if someone puts him up. That should make for some interesting conversations.  So, it looks like Alex, Ramses, and Jillian could live to fight another week together in the game.  Cody did pull Alex and Jillian aside because they were exiling themselves from the other houseguests, and made it clear it was only Megan he did not like.  As of right now, Jason looks set to be sent up and out of the game on Thursday.  This is Big Brother, and things change on an hourly basis, so we will keep you up to speed.  View Slideshow: Big Brother Winners: RANKED!

Kylie Jenner: Refusing to Film Reality TV Series?

Kylie Jenner’s reality TV series might be going the way of Rob & Chyna. By that, we mean it’s probably going to be a steaming pile of garbage that still manages to pull in solid ratings.  Life of Kylie  has been in production for a while now, but apparently, insiders of the show are furious with the way the 19-year-old has been acting . Hey, it’s not like anyone ever compliments a Kardashian for the way they act.  We’re convinced Kris Jenner holds weekly classes with her brood to make sure they know what their plan is to stay in the headlines for the week. With Kris resorting to promoting healthy tea products on social media, the family must be in dire straits.  If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you will already know that Kylie Jenner is one of those teenagers who gets everything she wants.  That’s sort of what happens when you are brought up in front of reality TV cameras and you have a life that most would kill for. As sad and pathetic as it sounds, Kylie’s blatant attempts to get in the headlines are probably brought on by her desire to be the biggest celebrity in the family.  Just like her brother, Rob Kardashian did during the production of his own series, Kylie has allegedly been holding up the shooting of Life of Kylie and has even been skipping out on production some days.  Jenner “refuses to go into the studio and do her pickups,” a source close to production revealed to Radar. We always hear things about the Kardashians being difficult people, and we’ll be taking these claims with a pinch of salt. There’s no confirmation of it.  “It is like Kylie doesn’t even care, she just ignores any schedule that dictates when she is supposed to be in the studio.” Being in production, it takes a lot to set filming days up, so you can only imagine the looks of disgust Kylie must be getting if this is, indeed, how she’s been acting.  “Kylie just doesn’t show up when she is needed, and no one knows that she isn’t coming,” the source continued. That’s totally uncool, and it won’t be doing much for the morale on set.  Maybe Kylie is worried about the show being a failure and is having second thoughts about sticking with it. It’s not exactly the best time to launch a new iteration of the series when you consider just how terrible the parent series is performing in the ratings.  “Kylie is upset at how the show is turning out, and she is running out of content. She does not want to give too much away … but the footage just seems boring and basic to her!” Keeping aspects of her life hidden from the series is not going to do much to make it a success. Viewers will be able to pick up on Kylie keeping quiet about things.  “She’s totally spoiled and doesn’t care about anything. It’s unprofessional,” the report concluded.  Something tells us the Kardashian family will be blacklisted by E! if they are really skipping out on filming. What’s the point of signing up for a TV show to bail on filming at the drop of a hat? There’s also the possibility Jenner is too busy too filming because she’s trying to find a way to deflect the latest scandals that rock her young life.  The series is set to debut this month. If you like watching someone showing lots of cleavage and a side dose of sass, you will love it.  If not, then you can make it watchable by taking a drink of vodka every single time she takes a selfie.  Yawn.  View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Channels Barbie in RACY New Photo Shoot!

Adele Cancels Remainder of Tour: Is She Done Performing Forever?!

Adele is, if we’re being honest, a beautiful gift that we’ve never deserved. But still, even though we know we don’t deserve her and all her glory , that doesn’t mean we’re ready for her to leave us anytime soon. Unfortunately, it seems like we don’t have much of a choice, and thanks to a few new updates from the woman herself, we’re starting to prepare ourselves for the worst. For our first piece of evidence, we have a note that Adele wrote and included in her tour program for her series of concerts at Wembley Stadium. For the big finale of her current tour, she’s doing four shows at Wembley — or she was. More on that in a moment. In the note, she wrote that “Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well.” “I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring . Until now that is!” She wrote that she’d done 119 shows in the tour, plus the four at Wembley, and “I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favorite artists have had on me live.” “And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home.” And there it is. Cuts like a knife, doesn’t it? So according to that note, the fans that managed to get tickets to the finale of her tour are super, super lucky. Or they were if they caught the first two shows. Yesterday, after playing her second show, she made a heartfelt announcement on Twitter that she’d be canceling the remaining two shows. Meaning that the tour is over, and there’s a good chance that we’ll never get another chance to see her tour again. In the post she wrote on Twitter, Adele explained that “The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life.” She said she never thought she could pull off a show that big — classic Adele adorableness . “However,” she continued, “I’ve struggled vocally both nights. I had to push a lot harder than I normally do.” She said that, after going to see her doctor, she learned that her vocal cords have been damaged, and “on medical advice I am unable to perform over the weekend.” It’s not the first time she’s experienced trouble from her vocal cords — after experiencing some similar issues, she had to take a good deal of time off for surgery to repair the problem in 2011. This time around, she told her fans that “To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement.” She’s been trying steroids and other various treatments, and she said that she’s considered pushing on with the show anyway, but if she did, she likely couldn’t even finish the set. “I’m so desperate to do them that I’ve even considered miming, just to be in front of you and be with you,” she added. That would be a whole new kind of precious , but she’s decided against that route. “I’m sorry,” she wrote to her fans. “I’m sorry for your disappointment. I’m sorry for the nights you would have had with your loved ones and the memories you would have made together.” “I’m sorry for the time and money you’ve spent organizing your trips. You know I would not make this decision lightly.” Poor, sweet Adele also said that she’s really struggling with coming to terms that she won’t get to do those last two shows, but that she’ll figure out a way to make it right. For the time being, she said that returns will be offered if the shows can’t be rescheduled, and she’ll have more information soon. View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Adele Would Make the PERFECT Drinking Buddy “I’m devastated,” she wrote at the end of her note. “I’m sorry. I love you I’m so sorry, please forgive me.” How is this woman so perfect? And how can we go on if she never performs again?

Kendall and Kylie Jenner: Donating Earnings from Offensive T-Shirts?

Earlier this week, Kendall and Kylie Jenner started up one of the dumbest scandals we’ve ever seen. It was really and truly just ridiculous. Somehow, someway, the littlest Jenners thought it was a good idea to make a line of t-shirts featuring photos of popular musicians — with their own faces laid over them . The artists they chose included the likes of Tupac, Notorious B.I.G. The Doors, Pink Floyd, and more. So just picture your favorite legendary music act on a shirt, then a semi-transparant photo of Kendall and/or Kylie on top of it. It’s just … why? On top of the offensive, possibly illegal use of those images, the Jenner girls also had the nerve to ask $125 for one of their silly shirts. It’s no wonder they’ve been receiving a boatload of backlash. First, the mother of the late Notorious B.I.G. commented on the shirts on her Instagram page, writing that she wasn’t sure who told Kylie and Kendall “that they had the right to do this.” “The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me,” she continued. “I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt. This is disrespectful, disgusting and exploitation at its worst!” Since another shirt featured Ozzy Osbourne, his family also felt the need to comment . His wife, Sharon, tweeted “Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know … lip gloss.” Fun, right? Kendall has issued an apology , stating that “These designs were no well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone hat has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists.” “We are huge fans of heir music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in any way. The tee shits have been pulled from retail and all images have been removed.” She added that “We will use this as an opportunity to learn from these mistakes, and again we are very sorry.” It seems the apology, while nice, wasn’t exactly enough — Biggie Smalls’ estate made an additional statement about it. “While we appreciate that the Jenners have made an apology and pulled the unlawful and unauthorized items, this matter has yet to be resolved,” the statement read. Could there possibly be some legal action in the near future? Just in case, it seems like Kendall and Kylie are eager to make things right as much as they can. As a source explains to Hollywood Life, “They are definitely feeling bad over the fallout of their t-shirt line and are not happy that they are getting threatened with lawsuits and taking a lot of heat for it.” Easy solution: don’t do dumb stuff, then you won’t get heat. The source claims that “They are considering donating all the proceeds of the shirts that were sold to the charities of the families to make their apology actually mean something more.” Really, that’s the least they should do. Short of inventing a time machine, going back and making better choices, it’s pretty much their only option. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming

Farrah Abraham: Rape and Abuse to Blame for Bad Behavior?!

It’s not that easy to like Farrah Abraham. She has a whole, whole lot of flaws, and if you know anything about her, you know what we’re talking about. She’s so rude all the time , she screams and shouts for no reason, it seems like she lacks any communication skills whatsoever … the list goes on and on. But according to some interesting tweets from her father, Michael Abraham, there’s an explanation for all of that. And it’s a pretty dark one. It all started yesterday, when people began sending messages to Michael about Farrah. In response to one of the messages, he referred to her as his “daugther,” an easy enough typo to make. Someone replied, saying that “Well, we can see where she gets her illiterate word salad from, can’t we?!” Which doesn’t make sense — Farrah doesn’t typically make typos so much as she strings together words and phrases that loosely mean something sometimes . Michael said that “Mine comes from being a disabled VET for hearing loss… Farrah’s is from her trauma — shame on you for your judgement.” “What trauma?” another person asked. “You guys mention it but never say what trauma. What happened to Farrah?” It’s a fair question — for years now, Farrah and her family have referred to trauma she’s endured. We heard about it during her time on Couples Therapy , she’s mentioned it on Teen Mom reunion specials, but she’s never given any details. Even during the Abrahams’ recent stay in Marriage Boot Camp, we learned that Farrah’s mother, Debra Danielsen, was abusive , but there still seems to be so much more to the story. To answer the question, Michael wrote that “It was many things…fighting between her mom & father, Debra & her physical actions toward Farrah & her sister. Farrah was raped a few years ago.” Someone told him “When she did PORN, THAT’S NOT RAPE,” and that didn’t sit well. “Get your head out of your ass…” Michael replied. “It happened (yes Farrah was raped) after that video… facts not your hate.” He doesn’t give any details about the alleged rape, of course, but he could be referring to Farrah’s claims that she was raped by her sex tape co-star , James Deen. In 2015, adult film star Stoya accused James Deen of sexually assaulting her, and several other women came forward as well. At the time, Farrah tweeted “I’m not going to say ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ but I’m to busy for Rapists #weakAreStrong #speakout #slutwalk.” She’s also said said that after the release of her sex tape, she was ” drugged and rape more than once .” Even though it sounds like she’s faced some truly horrific ordeals, people were still intent to hate on Farrah after Michael’s tweets. “Many ppl have trauma…” one person pointed out to him. “Still gives no one the right to treat ppl like dirt. She needs to control that sh-t.” But Michael hit back with “Some people can not and Farrah is working with professionals to overcome it.” What a mess. Hopefully, if Farrah really is dealing with all of this trauma, she’s getting the help she needs to move forward.
