June Shannon Talks All the Trash About Daughter’s Baby Daddy

June Shannon, role model? Yes, according to June Shannon, that is. In the following clip from this week's new episode of the WEtv reality series From Not to Hot, Shannon lays into her daughter's fiance and baby daddy, some dude named  Josh Efird . The 38-year old is simply stunned and aghast that little Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon has gotten herself knocked up at the age of 17 and is actually going to stay with this Josh fella. “Josh gets on my ever-loving last God damn nerve,” June vents in the clip below to her boyfriend, Geno, adding of her future son-in-law: “I told him he needs to get a better job if he’s going to support my grandchild. Every time he thinks that I let my guard down, I’ll be right behind him saying, ‘Boom motherf-cker.” But, wait, didn't June also have a child at the age of 17? TWO children, in fact? Yes, but she held down three jobs at the time and was responsible, she tells Geno. “Pumpkin doesn't understand bills. Like, she's always coming [to me saying], ‘Hey, I need $100. Hey, I need gas.'” June explains here. “But if Josh thinks I'm always going to be him and Pumpkin's safety net, they got another damn thing coming.” Geno (who, it bears repeating, is dating June Shannon on purpose) does his best to comfort his previously overweight lover. But June is on an angry roll in this video. “Pumpkin knows ain't none of my babies' daddies stuck around. But I don't want the same thing to happen to her… “Pumpkin, I'm always going to be there for her, but Josh, he needs to shape up or ship out.” Lauryn, meanwhile, gave birth in December . She is now the mother to a little girl named Ella Grace. But when June first learned her teenager was expecting, she WENT OFF on the guy whose sperm made this possible. “Pumpkin is f-cking pregnant. This not what I envisioned for her – at 17 to be f-cking having a baby,” she yelled at Josh on an earlier episode, adding: “I mean, what plans do you have? I mean, do you have any idea how much it takes to raise a baby? Coming home, working nine to five, eating f-cking ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese for the next 18 years. “Are you ready for that? Ding dong!” Watch June's latest slamming of Josh below:

Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom Make Nice Over Rasual Butler Death

Recently, things between Khloe Kardashian and her ex, Lamar Odom, haven’t exactly been ideal. To the point where Lamar threw shade at Khloe that was so unkind that he got slammed by Kim . But then, an unthinkable tragedy struck them both. Sometimes, shared grief brings people together to make peace. It’s important to remember what really matters. Not everyone gets along with their exes. For Khloe and Lamar, things are … more complicated. Though their divorce was already well underway, when Lamar had his health crisis a few years ago, Khloe dropped everything to be by his side. That included stalling their divorce process so that Khloe could continue to make decisions for Lamar until he was able to speak for himself. (Most wives wouldn’t exactly slow down a divorce after their husband visits a brothel, but these were … special circumstances) Fastforward to 2018, however, and though Lamar himself made a profound recovery, his relationship with Khloe has soured significantly. As we all know, Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with Tristan Thompson’s baby. Lamar was asked about it, and though he started off politely enough, he decided to make what sounded like an underhanded jab at his ex. “I’m happy for her,” he said at the time. “She took good care of me. She’ll be a good mother, for real. She’s a great woman.” However, after acknowledging that he still has Khloe’s initials tattooed on his body (from when they got married), he goes out of his way to clarify that he’s not pining after her. He just hasn’t gotten around to getting the tattoo removed. “I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that.” Naturally, that bit of unpleasantness was what got Kim Kardashian to threaten to ruin Lamar Odom if he comes after Khloe again. On Wednesday morning, Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle, died in a one-car wreck in Studio City. Rasual was a former NBA player. Leah was a contestant on American Idol in 2004. It appears that the car, a Range Rover, somehow spun out of control, resulting in the deadly crash. Many friends of the pair are in mourning over this devastating loss. RadarOnline reports that they have learned that Khloe and Lamar buried the hatchet while both mourning the loss of their friend. Rasual had actually appeared on Khloe & Lamar back in the day, when he was dating Malika Haqq. A source close to Lamar reported that: “Lamar is crushed about Rasual’s death, and it was shocking for Khloe, too.” And the tragic situation caused the exes to contact each other. “Khloe and Lamar talked after they heard about Rasual’s death. ” And the source sheds a little insight over how the two of them are feeling. “She told him that she was so sad about the accident. And he is numb.” Different people respond to sudden horrible news in different ways. Let’s be clear — this story in no way suggests that Khloe and Lamar are rekindling romantic feelings for each other. But it’s good and healthy for exes like these two to be able to communicate in an honest way. This sadness strikes at them both. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Pregnant: What Do We Know?

Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry: Spotted! Making Out!!!!!

Into whom Robert Pattinson may or may not be sticking his penis these days is a matter of national debate and discussion. According to a recent rumor, the British actor is dating Emma Watson , making the dreams of all Harry Potter and Twilight Saga fans into a stunning and incredible reality. And, trust us, we’d love to believe this story. We get giddy at the mere thought of Watson and Pattinson procreating beautiful, intelligent children with really cool accents. But we never really bought this chatter. It has been clear, however, that Pattinson and Katy Perry have a tight bond. Neither has been especially tight-lipped about their friendship, with sources claiming Perry was psyched to swoop in and comfort Pattinson after he split from FKA Twigs last fall. Now, however, comes seemingly legitimate evidence that something romantic is brewing between the artist and the actor. According to Life & Style insiders, Pattinson and Perry were spotted on January 26 inside Los Angeles restaurant Taix. And a witness tells this tabloid that the stars didn’t act like two people who had NOT seen each other naked. “They sat in the corner and were drinking a lot,” an onlooker alleges, adding that the celebrities were all over each other and making out. Whoa there, right?!? We added the bold above for emphasis. Because this is a pretty big deal if true. “They came in together really late and stayed until 2 a.m.” this report continues, with another witness saying Robert and Katy were on hand with a group of friends and: “They really blended in. People didn’t even recognize them!” Rumors of a romance between the singer and the stud muffin first went viral in August of last year. And why not, right? At the time, there were numerous sightings of the superstars together; both were either single or on breaks from a significant other; and both are very attractive. You don’t need much more than that for celebrity gossip sites to start writing. Pattinson, of course, most famous dated Kristen Stewart, prior to getting together with FKA Twigs and even getting engaged to her. Perry, meanwhile, has dated her fair share of famous men, most notably Russell Brand and Orlando Bloom. About a month ago, a source told People Magazine that Bloom and Perry were most decidedly not back together, while also acknowledging that they “will continue to see each other when their schedules allow it.” Which is fine and dandy and which doesn’t discredit the article here at all. It’s not like we’re saying Pattinson and Perry are getting married or anything. Just that they are, at the very least, swapping spit; and, most likely, bodily fluids. We’re talking about sex, readers. Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry are probably having sex.

‘Black Panther’ Pre-Sales Topping All Previous Superhero Movies

Continued here:

Source: Getty / Getty Although it seemed like the time would never come, we are now just a few weeks away from the highly-anticipated premiere of Black Panther . With fans already planning their outfit choices and pre-game plans for the film’s premiere, the pre-sale tickets are breaking records with each passing day. #BlackPanther Fandango pre-sales outpacing all superhero movies https://t.co/EmDY0OMjTq — Variety (@Variety) January 31, 2018 Per Variety , movie tickets website Fandango is reporting that the anticipation for Black Panther has reached a relative frenzy, as pre-sales for the film are topping all previous superhero movies. In late January it was projected that Black Panther could see an opening weekend within the $100-$120 million range. Early reviews have been stellar, which is likely one reason for such record-breaking advanced sales. Via Variety: Disney-Marvel’s “Black Panther” is outpacing all superhero movies in advance ticket sales for Fandango’s online tickets service, eclipsing 2016’s “Batman v Superman.” Fandango reported Wednesday that “Black Panther” had topped daily ticket sales in the wake of its world premiere and first screenings on Monday night — even though it doesn’t open in theaters until Feb. 16. According to a Fandango survey of more than 1,000 “Black Panther” moviegoers: 97% are looking forward to a different kind of superhero movie; 95% look forward to the film’s positive messages; 93% said they couldn’t wait to see Chadwick Boseman in his own “Black Panther” movie after seeing him in “Captain America: Civil War;” 86% are excited to see the film’s all-female guards/warriors, the Dora Milaje; and 85% are intrigued by the film’s exotic setting in the mythical African kingdom of Wakanda. “The buzz on ‘Black Panther’ is electric,” Fandango managing editor Erik Davis said. “Early screening audiences say it is one of Marvel’s best movies ever, and the positive word-of-mouth is helping drive the movie’s spectacular advance ticket sales.” With a Hollywood premiere that was full of #BlackExcellence coupled with the official start of Black History Month, expect those opening weekend projections to be a little off because Black Panther will likely have a higher opening weekend profit than currently predicted. We at HB certainly can’t wait to get our tickets and see the magic for ourselves!   Check out today’s Top Stories here: Ex-NBA Player Rasual Butler And Wife, Singer Leah LaBelle, Killed In Car Crash Reclaiming Her Time!

Exclusive: “Broke” Kendu Isaacs Accuses MJB Profiting Off Their Divorce; Still Owes Him A $346K Salary

LOS ANGELES, CA – NOVEMBER 02: Singer Mary J. Blige and husband Kendu Isaacs arrive at the LACMA 2013 Art + Film Gala at LACMA on November 2, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Gregg DeGuire/WireImage) Martin “Kendu” Isaacs Says He’s Struggling Since Split From Singer Mary J. Blige’s soon to be ex-husband has accused her of turning a profit on their divorce as he demanded more money from the singer as they continue to battle out in their acrimonious divorce. Isaacs filed paperwork last month accusing the “Real Love” singer of withholding his pay from his work as her personal manager on her “King & Queen of Hearts” tour. Isaacs said Blige currently owes him a total of $345,820, and he hasn’t seen a dime, according to court docs. Blige’s ex also claimed his estranged wife has used him as a punching bag in the press, and despite his “aggressive” efforts, he hasn’t been able to work since she fired him in July 2016. “In fact, petitioner has financially benefitted from this divorce because she used it as a platform to promote her new music, album and tour,” Kendu wrote in court papers which were obtained by BOSSIP. “Since the divorce was initiated, she has released at least two songs that have been dubbed her ‘divorce’ songs. The evidence will show that petitioner reaped a substantial profit from this divorce.” Isaacs, 49, doubled down on his claims that he’s entitled to half of her royalties, residuals and commissions that Mary earned from her music, film and TV work during their nearly 13-year marriage, according to his filing. Isaacs – who recently said the stress of the divorce put him in the hospital – also wants her to pay his attorney’s fees. A judge will now decide how much Isaac deserves when the case heads to trial in March. Isaacs has asked for $65,000 a month in alimony payments for the rest of his life. However, Mary has contended in court papers that the $30,000 a month that she’s already paying him is too much and accused him of misappropriating $420,000 on his mistress. Continue reading

Dolores O’Riordan Dies; Cranberries Singer Was 46

Dolores O’Riordan, lead singer of the popular Irish rock band the Cranberries, has passed away at the age of 46. Reps for O’ Riordan confirmed the news of her death just moments ago. O’Riordan’s passing has been described as “sudden,” and the cause of death is currently unknown to the public. The singer was reportedly in London for a recording session and was rushed to a local hospital, where medical staff were unable to resuscitate her. Known for her distinctive mezzo-soprano voice, O’Riordan replaced the Cranberries original lead singer after a successful audition in 1990. During her time as frontwoman, the band enjoyed tremendous commercial success and rose to international fame. O’Riordan and her bandmates recorded 8 top-20 hits, including such perennially popular tunes as “Linger,” “Zombie,” and “Dreams.” The band split up in 2003 but reunited after a several-year hiatus, during which O’Riordan recorded two solo albums. O’Riordan’s frequently-changing style made her a ’90s style icon, and the Cranberries were often name-checked in the pop culture of the time, including a memorable mention in the comedy classic Clueless . In recent years, the singer made tabloid headlines several times as a result of her tumultuous personal life. In 2014, O’Riordan was arrested for assaulting a stewardess and a police officer aboard an Aer Lingus flight to New York. That same year, she split from her husband after 20 years of marriage. In 2017, the Cranberries released an acoustic album and embarked on an intercontinental tour that was cut short due to O’Riordan’s persistent back problems. While her band’s popularity peaked in the 1990s, O’Riordan remained an in-demand performer and a popular figure in Ireland until her death. She was invited to perform at the Vatican on several occasions, and in 2006, she was listed as one of the ten richest women in Ireland. Loving tributes from friends and fans made O’Riordan a top trending topic on Twitter within minutes of when news of her death went public. She is survived by two children. Our thoughts go out to O’Riordan’s family during this difficult time.

Justin Timberlake Earns Internet Outrage for Tweet, Movie Role

A long time ago, Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. But now many Internet users are wishing the singer and occasional actor would take a recent career decision back; not to mention a brand new, misguided Tweet. Allow us to explain… On Sunday night, Timberlake shared a seemingly sweet and romantic photo on Instagram. It featured the artist and his wife, Jessica Biel, who was nominated at the Golden Globes for her role in USA Network’s The Sinner. “Here we come!! And DAMN, my wife is hot! #TIMESUP  #whywewearblack,” wrote Justin as a caption. Both of those hashtags were a reference to the Golden Globes this year serving as a platform for celebrities to stick up for women in the industry and victims of sexual misconduct in general. Which is why some critics thought JT should have perhaps not used this photo and this occasion to label his wife as “hot.” Granted, Jessica Biel is very hot. But this simply may not have been the ideal time for Timberlake to objectify his wife, that’s all we’re saying. Moreover, as many on the World Wide Web have pointed out, Timberlake will be starring in Woody Allen’s next movie, Wonder Wheel. The controversial director is well known for having married his ex-wife’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. The 82-year-old is also accused of sexual abuse by his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow. For this reason, a slew of stars has refused to work with Allen…and a slew of online commentators have called Timberlake out here for some pretty galling hypocrisy. Wrote one individual: “Wearing black, good. Talking about it, good. Next step, don’t participate in projects that profit men like Woody Allen. Have fun at the party. THEN keep striving for better.” And another dragged Timberlake even harder for his past, Tweeting: “You starred in Woody Allen’s new movie. You built a career on malicious misogyny towards Britney Spears. You left Janet Jackson out to dry. This is pure performative fraud.” Yikes, huh? Timberlake has not responded to any of these scathing accusations or remarks. We doubt he will, either. Most folks out there think Justin is a good guy, but this is a prime example of how everyone is under an extreme microscope these days. And, as Rose McGown thinks , you can’t just wear black and include a few hashtags and then pat yourself on the back. If you want to see change in the world, you must take some actual action in order to enact it. View Slideshow: Golden Globes Awards: All the (Black) Fashion!

Lady Gaga: Happy New Year! Look at My Butt!

Lady Gaga is poised for a pretty big 2018. Back in November, we learned that Gaga is engaged to Christian Carino . Shortly thereafter, the singer announced that she’d signed on for a Vegas residency, an arrangement that’s already proven wildly lucrative for several members of pop music’s royal family, including Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. But do true love and a wildly successful career really bring one happiness? Perhaps for some, but this is Gaga we’re talking about. She came to slay, and she won’t rest until her takeover is complete. She wants it all: The wealth, the fame, the adoration … and, of course, the ass: Gaga rang in the new year by tweeting the above photo. “Happy New Year. To happiness. Health. Love. And to the simplicity of beautiful unforgettable nature, life,” she captioned the image. Yes … nature. That caption is the social media equivalent of walking into a room naked save for a pair of heels and asking everyone if they like your new shoes. Needless to say, the pic was quite popular amongst Gaga’s devoted fans, amassing over 4,000 comments in just 24 hours. The Little Monsters paid tribute to their queen in multiple languages, and while we won’t pretend to have understood every comment, we’re pretty sure most of them translated to “dat ass.” The  Gaga butt  has been the stuff of legend for years, but like Halley’s Comet, it’s a big deal every time it makes an appearance. And with a wedding on the horizon, this might be our last glimpse of the iconic ass in its unmarried form. So soak it in, folks. And any time this year gets you down, simply make like Gaga’s fantastic ‘donk: Turn toward the sun; be your best self, and no matter what happens, don’t allow yourself to be put to be publicly dissed by Leonardo DiCaprio . He might have an Oscar now, but that does not give him the final say on all things butt-related. We’re pretty sure Kris Jenner holds that honor.

Keyshia Cole Will Have To Pay Up $100,000 For Beating Down Birdman’s Supposed Side Chick Back In 2014

Keyshia Cole Ordered To Pay Beating Victim $100K Cash Money employee Sabrina Mercadel has won her case against Keyshia Cole for catching a 4 am fade from the singer back in 2014. If you’ll recall, way back when Keyshia was grinding on top of grand pianos in the name of love for Birdman…she caught wind that the Cash Money Millionaire might be spending time with another woman behind her back. She paid a surprise visit to his West L.A. condo in the middle of the night, accusing Birdman of being a cheater. Sabrina was there at the time, and caught Keyshia’s hands. She claimed that Keyshia punched her in the face multiple times, snatched her hair and scratched her face and mouth with her fingernails — beating her so badly that one of her own fingers was rendered useless. Sabrina said Keyshia wilded out for no reason, asserting that she and Birdman were only “plutonic friends.” Yes, she actually spelled it that way. Either way, she sued the singer over the summer, seeking $4 million in damages for her injuries and emotional distress. According to TMZ , the judge apparently didn’t see it for her request of $4 million, but felt that $100,635 for her troubles would suffice. SMH. Sometimes keeping it real goes wrong. Looks like Keyshia just learned that lesson 100,000 times over… Splash/WENN

Gene Simmons Denies Accusations of Sexual Harassment

Gene Simmons is known for his on-stage tongue antics (long before Miley was even born), for his band KISS’ absurd and recognizable makeup, and for some surprisingly conservative views for a guy who once seemed rebellious or radical. And now he’s one of the latest powerful, famous men accused of sexual misconduct. He’s being sued by an anonymous woman. He’s issued a statement and, to no one’s surprise, he’s denying the whole thing. Gene Simmons is being sued by an anonymous woman who is a radio personality. According to the lawsuit, details of which were published by the Orange County Register , Gene Simmons’s misconduct took place in a green room, while this woman was interviewing her. The lawsuit alleges that Simmons reached over, grabbed the woman’s hand, and “forcefully placed it on his knee and held it on his knee.” The woman apparently withdrew her hand immediately, but alleges that Simmons continued his “unwanted, unwarranted sexual advances,” reaching again for her hand. Defendant Simmons turned standard interview questions into sexual innuendos, which made plaintiff Doe extremely uncomfortable According to the documents, Gene Simmons grabbed her hand again, made a creepy noise, commented about how she must use lotion, and made some sort of gross sexual innuendo. He apparently also flicked his finger against her throat, which is one of the weirdest things that we’ve read about since reading about Harvey Weinstein ejaculating into a plant . Oh, and at a photo op after this interview from hell, Simmons allegedly grabbed her butt. Awful. Gene Simmons is speaking out against these allegations and against the lawsuit, writing on Facebook: “Friends, I intend to defend myself against any alleged charges you may have been reading about in the media.” Again, it is not surprising that he’s denying everything. “For the record, I did not assault the person making these accusations in the manner alleged in the complaint or harm her in any way.” He’s fighting the allegations in public but also gearing up to fight the actual lawsuit. “I am conferring with my lawyers with the aim of vigorously countering these allegations.” And he believes that he’ll be ultimately vindicated. “And I look forward to my day in court where the evidence will prove my innocence.” He may be right about the lawsuit’s outcome — sexual misconduct is often difficult or even impossible to prove in court. Even while remaining anonymous, the woman suing him is taking a big financial risk. Ultimately, we don’t know what, if any, effect this will have on Gene Simmons. The more passionate a man’s fanbase, the less likely he is to face real consequences, even in the court of public opinion. Just look at Johnny Depp — everyone knows what he did and has seen the evidence that his management knew what he’d done, but he still has a career and die-hard fans. Oh, and he’s starring in a Harry Potter movie and even JK Rowling is defending him. Only time will tell if Gene Simmons’ remaining fans will abandon him. Though, honestly, anyone who still likes the guy after he said that depressed people should just kill themselves is probably going to stick with him through anything. We should point out that it’s always possible that other women could come forward. It’s rare for a man to engage in this sort of behavior with one woman and not with others. So let’s all keep our ears metaphorically to the ground for other women coming forward about disgusting interactions with Gene Simmons. There are a lot of factors at play — some women are ashamed of not telling anyone, or blame themselves for the way that someone else treated them, or fear public reactions (especially from someone’s fans). Only time (and the court) will tell how this pans out for Gene Simmons. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired?
