Source: Jonathan Rebboah/News Pictures/WENN.com / WENN Kim Kardashian has mastered the art of the thirst trap and been dropping them for years now. The better half of Kanye West and mother of three was back to her old self setting traps, this time asking her millions of fans that pineapple juice more than just tastes good when you drink it. Clad in a white swimsuit and holding a can of what appears to be Dole pineapple juice, Kardashian sat with her legs slightly open on the edge of a marble counter. With the caption reading, “Google the benefits of pineapple juice,” it was pretty obvious Kardashian was promoting the long-touted benefit of the juice making, ahem, certain areas during certain acts taste sweeter. Or she could be talking about the fruit’s high level of vitamin C, its reported anti-inflammatory benefits, cataract prevention and even prevention against prostate cancer. Who knows? — Photo: WENN

On the tracks “March 14” and “Emotionless,” the 6 God admits to fathering a child with Sophie Brussaux, something Pusha T accused him of on “The Story Of Adidon” diss track. But according to Rolling Stone, “March 14” wasn’t a response to Pusha’s accusations like many assumed. A source reportedly close to Drake confirmed the track was recorded “way, way before” “The Story of Adidon.” T-Minus, who co-produced “March 14,” also backed up that narrative. “I’m assuming [Drake] called the record ‘March 14′ ’cause that’s when he did the record,” T-Minus said. “I never even heard the content of the song until the album dropped. It was something private; it was supposed to be kept secure. The information got out and I’m assuming that’s how Push knew [about the child].” READ MORE
Source: FOX / Getty Months after the #WhoBitBeyonce scandal hit the Internet, it looks like Sanaa Lathan is still trying to clear her name. Earlier this week the “Shots Fired” actress opened up with the co-hosts of “The Talk” about her reactions to first hearing the rumor that she was the one who bit Beyonce at a party in Los Angeles. She said, “Me and my friends, we laughed our a**es off. We thought it was funny. I mean, it was so absurd.” “We thought it was funny. I mean, it was so absurd. The hashtag #WhoBitBeyoncé, it was just this big whodunit. You know, I’ve had lots of rumors over the years and after so many of them, you get a thick skin,” she added. We’re pretty sure Tiffany Haddish hasn’t helped the rumor mill, telling “The Hollywood Reporter” last month that Sanaa indeed did nibble on the Queen. “I’m super good friends with her stepmom and her dad (producer-director Stan Lathan), and they were mad at me,” Haddish said. “They were like, ‘Why would you do this to the family? You know, black actresses, you guys have to stick together, it’s so hard for you guys to get work as it is, why would you try to ruin her career?’ “ Haddish said that was never her intention. “I didn’t try to ruin her career,” Haddish explained. “I never said her name! I was just trying to say how Beyoncé kept me from goin’ to jail that night. I coulda just shut my whole career down.” As we previously reported , the drama all started when Haddish shared this infamous story to GQ back in March. “(Beyoncé) was like, ‘Tiffany, no. Don’t do that,’ ” she recalled. ” ‘That (woman) is on drugs. She not even drunk. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’ ” Soon after Twitter started accusing Sanaa of being the one, she was quick to deny it. Y’all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would’ve been a love bite — Sanaa Lathan (@justsanaa) March 26, 2018 Either way, we hope this story has finally been put to bed. It’s time for everyone involved to move one. If Bey ain’t pressed, why is anyone else?

Source: The Image Gate / Getty Kanye West is not done… …a statement we’ll probably get plenty more times in the future. After busting out five projects with folks like Pusha T , Nas and Teyana Taylor over the last month, Kanye might have more tunes up his sleeve. New York Times pop music critic Jon Caramanica spent three days with Kanye after his ye listening party in Wyoming. He recapped their discussion in his podcast Popcast and some interesting information was revealed. “[Kanye] said he wants to get a place in Wyoming and he thinks he wants to spend more time there,” Jon said. “[Kanye] told me at one point, he wants to make 52 records in 52 weeks. Take that for what you will.” Hmmm, okaaay… On one hand, this could be exciting for folks still sticking with Kanye. But on another hand, he definitely took his sweet time rolling out his previous projects — specifically for Nas and Teyana Taylor. Teyana’s album K.T.S.E. didn’t hit streaming until a full day after it was scheduled to be released. And by the end of it all, Teyana still wasn’t satisfied with the final product. There were even reports that Kanye was finishing Teyana’s album on a plane last minute before its release. And now this man is trying to release 52 records in 52 weeks? Kanye is like that overly ambitious kid in school who ends up turning in their assignment last minute because, well…it’s overly ambitious. There’s no telling who Kanye will team up with for the next releases, although according to Billboard , he’s been rumored to be working with Chance the Rapper . CyHi The Prynce has also hinted at a seven-track album with Kanye. So I guess we’ll watch out for those 52 records. And if we don’t get them on time, remember… Kanye West is not done.
P olice officers all too often fail to consider how children are traumatized during an arrest of their parent. An extreme excessive force arrest in Chicago highlights the consequences.

The three-year-old, Davianna Simmons , wakes up from nightmares screaming “the police are coming,” city attorney Jennifer Notz stated, adding that the child will probably need psychiatric help into adulthood, according to the Chicago Sun Times . “The plaintiffs further testified that Davianna screams and runs every time she sees police officers,” Notz said. Davianna’s own testimony was videotaped and approved by a judge for use at a potential trial.

Chicago police are far from alone. Members of the Cleveland Police Department received training for this in 2016 from Lisa Thurau , executive director of the non-profit Strategies for Youth. She underscored that children can be psychologically scarred for life after watching a parent get arrested. “These memories endure and then they form attitudes,” she added. Thurau based portions of the training on studies like a 2014 report from the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, which found that police frequently fail to consider the presence of children when arresting a parent. In the Chicago case, the council’s finance committee has already approved the settlement.
