Kylie Jenner may only consume 500 calories per day , but she has a very good reason for it: The reality star is too busy eating up her daughter, Stormi Webster! Exactly one year after giving birth to her first child, the 21-year old is here to gush over the infant, while also sharing a new and adorable photo of her tyke. “how did i get so lucky to have such a sweet, smart, happy baby,” Jenner wrote as a caption to the above picture. In honor of Stormi turning one, Kylie added: “i just couldn’t have dreamt you up, storm. i wish you could stay this little forever and i could protect that contagious smile and laugh of yours. “I know you won’t remember much about the first year of your life but i pray that you’ll never forget to keep sharing your joy and laughter with the world. “my love grows for you a thousand miles a minute. every day with you is the best day of my life. happy birthday to my angel on earth.” Stormi, of course, was born last February to Jenner and Travis Scott. It’s really sort of shocking that this happened, considering how that relationship back then did not seem very serious — and Kylie was just so very young. Fast forward 12 months and there’s lots of talk that Scott may propose to Jenner , while both Travis and Kylie appear to have really taken to parenthood. Elsewhere, other relatives of Stormi also wished the cutie a happy birthday. Wrote Scott, for instance: ITS MY QUEEN ,MY HEART, MY AIR , MY EVERYTHING. STORMI’S BIRTHDAY TODAY. I LOVE U SO MUCH BABY. U THE SMARTEST AND LOVING BABY EVER. UR SPIRT KEEPS ME GOING EVERY DAY ME AND UR MOMMY LOVE U AND CANT WAIT TO SHARE MORE BEAUTIFUL DAYS WITH U. HAPPY BDAYY STORMIII LETS RAGE. And Kris Jenner: Happy birthday to our little angel Stormi! You bring us so much joy with your sweet smile and precious laugh. You are such a beautiful blessing and I love you so very much! #HappyBirthdayStormi. And Kim Kardashian : Happy Birthday to the sweetest baby girl Stormi! We love you so much!!! For the most part, Kylie – who posts very frequently on social media – has done a solid job keeping her kid out of the spotlight. We haven’t really seen all that many photos of her over this initial year of life, although more have been added online over the past few months. For awhile there, the very first image Jenner ever shared of her daughter’s finger was the most-liked snapshot in Instagram history., But then this egg took over that honor . Tough break. Anyway, though: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STORMI! View Slideshow: Stormi Webster: See ALL Her Precious Pics!
F resh off a year that saw a number of notable firsts for African-Americans, 2019 has already been capitalizing on that momentum and seems set to be a legitimate challenger for one of the most significant set of 12 months in the annals of Black history, especially politically. As this year’s Black History Month gets underway, you could be forgiven for thinking that statement is hyperbole; what with the rich legacy that Black people have established on earth for centuries. But given the current context in which Black and brown folks across the globe and especially in the United States have been living, it’s a safe bet that there is no safe bet for what to expect. It would seem that in this unprecedented time of existence for Black folks, all we have are indicators to go by. And if recent history was any indication of what’s to come, Black people better be prepared for continued rising prominence in a society that has routinely made the mistake of misjudging us. Those under estimations have already manifested themselves in a record number of Black people being sworn into the elected offices they won during last year’s contentious midterm elections. The most diverse class of lawmakers— several of them African-American women who made history as the first to represent their state in the House—have made their collective and individual presence felt on Capitol Hill and beyond during this young year. And while that was in the recent past, it has lasting political implications heading into the future, starting Tuesday when Stacey Abrams was set to deliver the Democrats’ response to Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. Abrams, as you might recall, was the very strong Georgia gubernatorial candidate who was disenfranchised by a corrupt opponent’s voter suppression efforts against his opponent’s supporters. Well, her political performance wasn’t missed by top Democrats, who, aside from tapping her to be the first Black woman to offer a major political party’s State of the Union rebuttal, appeared to be grooming her to launch a Senate run this year. If Abrams does run, she would be the first Black woman from Georgia ever elected to the Senate. But that only accounts for the start of this year, which could lead to a whole lot more political theater, with much of it [reluctantly] starring the president himself. That was because there has been a growing sense of urgency from the newly minted majority House of Representatives that there was no better time to impeach the president. That point was hammered home on Black History Month eve by California Sen. Maxine Waters , who said in no uncertain terms that it was “Past time for impeachment!” When are the people of this country going to wake up to the fact that this president is a disgusting liar, documented to have lied over 8,000 times in 2 yrs? Add to that his recent, blatant lies on our nation's intel chiefs' testimony in the US Senate. Past time for impeachment! — Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) January 31, 2019 The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) member has made no secret of her disrespect for Trump, who has belittled her every chance he’s gotten. And while the CBC Chair Karen Bass recently told NewsOne that impeachment was not a priority for the Caucus, Waters seemed to indicate otherwise. As Special Counsel Robert Mueller ‘s investigation into possible Russian collusion with Trump heats up, so could impeachment talk spurred on by Black lawmakers. Chicago could also get its first Black woman mayor if Amara Enyia wins. While Enyia was polling behind candidates with more name recognition, if last year taught America anything, it was to never discount Black women. The election is Feb. 26. Continuing in the political realm, there was still much work to do in the arena of social justice, especially as it pertains to Black people. That topic will be on Front Street this weekend when the Super Bowl is played in Atlanta, where police just last week killed an unarmed Black man under suspicious circumstances. That police shooting is colliding with an event celebrating a professional sports league being scrutinized for how it treats its Black players . This could be the perfect opportunity for players who have been silenced to speak out about blacklisted quarterback Colin Kaepernick , whose silent protest of social justice issues have effectively gotten him banned from the NFL. In that same vein, 2019 could finally see some justice for the New York Police Department (NYPD) killing of Eric Garner , which has gone all but unanswered since the deadly episode was captured on a viral video in 2014 showing NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo employing an illegal chokehold on a man who was only guilty of selling untaxed loose cigarettes—a misdemeanor punishable by a fine. Pantaleo’s disciplinary trial has been scheduled for May and he could finally be fired from his six-figure job . On a more positive note, it appeared that the Oscars So White campaign from a couple of years ago has finally paid off, as two movies helmed by Black directors have been nominated for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony next month—the first time that’s ever happened. So even if “ Black Panther ” as well as Spike Lee’s “ BlacKkKlansman ” don’t win the top Oscar, history has already been made and will likely lead to a victory in the near future. In fact, this year’s Oscars is probably the most diverse on record. Oh, and did we mention Cory Booker has joined Kamala Harris as candidates running for president who just so happen to be Black? Harris announced her bid last month on Martin Luther King’s national holiday. Booker announced his on Friday, the start of Black History Month. Coincidence?

So it’s 2019, and ain’t much changed. Let me take that back. It almost seems as if racist white people are feeling less inhibited to confine their racism. The public displays of despicable behavior haven’t stopped, and in fact it seems as if Mr. Trump’s takeover as president of the United States has emboldened some people who’ve been hiding these tenancies. Long story less long – race relations within the borders of this country are going backwards. It’s not shocking to see some of the things that we see. It’s just sad. Yesterday evening (1/31) a Detroit police officer named Gary Steele pulled over 23-year-old Ariel Moore for having an expired license. Her vehicle was ultimately apprehended, and even though it was freezing outside Moore reportedly refused a ride home from the officers, as she was just going around the block. This is where things got pretty sketchy. As Moore is walking away, one of the officers decided to take to his social media. He took video of the young woman and put it on his SnapChat, with captions like “What black girl magic really looks like” and “Celebrating Black History Month.” They say he also closed the clip by saying the phrase “Bye, Felicia”. Smh. How are we not passed this point? How is a person who’s sworn to protect and serve the community so willingly (I mean, he posted on the internet) allowed to maneuver in such a manner? According to the Detroit Police Department Steele has been reassigned while an investigation carries out. We’ll keep you posted.

Ever since Kato won the HOH competition on Thursday night, he and his allies have been chatting about the idea of evicting Ryan if there was a replacement nominee. The pre-edited segments of Mondays mostly live installment of Celebrity Big Brother saw that plan gathering steam, with Kato doubling down on Tom, Natalie, and Lolo that one of them needed to win the veto. First, however, he had to contend with Tamar Braxton who was not impressed that he called out the fact that she wanted to see her son during her nomination speech. “Every mother’s supposed to miss their children,” Tamar said to him as she stormed off. “Whenever someone says ‘go home and be with your kid, it makes me feel like I’m nothing,” Tamar later said to the man who put her on the block. Dina was also not impressed about being on the block, complaining that nobody seems to be telling the truth in the house. Um, what? Did Dina forget that this is a battle for $250,000? In any case, Kato reassured her that she would be safe and that she had to trust him. When the new powerful alliance met up outside to discuss the backdoor Ryan plan, one of them forgot to close the door, and Ryan seemingly heard everything. Ryan then confided in Joey that one of them was going on the block, and the pair ultimately took the news to Kato. Kato said that one of them will likely be going up. Tom, Natalie, and Joey were picked to play in the live veto alongside the HOH and the two nominees. It came down to Tamar and Tom who tied in the first round of the competition. Tom snagged the win and removed Dina from the block. Ryan was named the replacement nominee and was eliminated by a vote of 6-1. As he walked out the door, Joey complained to Kato. As for whether Ryan would hold a grudge against Lolo at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he said he considered everyone in the house to be his friends. It was a classy exit, but Ryan did already know the writing was on the wall for him after the way the veto went. Julie then lifted the lid on the latest twist to rock the house. Viewers were given the opportunity to vote for one houseguest to be safe at one of the next two evictions. What are your thoughts on all the latest action? Hit the comments below. Big Brother continues Wednesday at 8/7c on CBS. View Slideshow: Big Brother: Meet the Most Controversial Houseguests
The Bachelor aired a few light-hearted moments on January 28, but a bulk of this unique episode was dedicated to a very serious subject matter. During her one-on-one date with Colton, Caelynn Miller-Keyes opened up about having been sexually assaulted in college. It was a raw and honest and upsetting conversation, though one that certainly captured the attention of all viewers. We admire Caelynn for telling her story in this manner. How did Colton react? What else transpired this week? And who was sent home? Scroll down for a recap of this special episode (and visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers if you wish to see what happens next)… 1. What Had We Seen Thus Far from Caelynn? Viewers had previously seen Caelynn feud with Hannah B., a fellow beauty pageant contestant who the 2018 Miss North Carolina actually knew prior to The Bachelor. 2. But That Feud Was Not an Issue This Week Instead, Caelynn told Colton about what happened to her when she was a sophomore in college and attended a fraternity party in 2014 with three friends. 3. “Something Really Bad Happened” “They drugged our wine,” she told Underwood. “I woke up the next morning completely naked in my bed and had no memory of the night before. I had a small vision of a guy in my bed and I just had this pit in my stomach that something really bad happened last night. My girlfriend called and said three of us were all sexually assaulted.” 4. This is What Happened: Caelynn said her friend told her that after her two friends passed out in a bed at the party, two men allegedly had sex with them, in the same bed, while they were incapacitated. “The girlfriend who didn’t drink the wine called me and told me that not only did a guy come home and have sex with me, another guy — I was passed out on the couch from the drugs and he said, ‘Watch what I’m about to do’ with all his fraternity brothers around me and he lifted up my dress. They watched and laughed and took photos” and shared the photos on Snapchat.” 5. The Trauma Continued… “It was horrible It was absolutely horrible,” Miller-Keyes told Underwood. The next day, Caelynn reported the assault to the police — but when she first went to get a rape kit, she was turned away by the hospital — “which is illegal,” she added of being told she had to file the report first. By the time she arrived at the second hospital and spoke with police, the results ended up being inconclusive because too much time had passed. 6. One Student Was Expelled. The Others Got Away with It. “I was determined to get justice and seek justice,” said Caelynn on air. “It’s something that will always be a part of me. I struggled with the shame and guilt that I had felt. It’s the most difficult thing in the world. It’s so painful and it screws up every ounce of you.” View Slideshow
Source: KIKA/WENN.com / WENN Tyga Is Being Sued For Not Properly Clearing A Sample After a few slow years, Tyga did pretty well for himself in 2018. But now, the California rapper has now found himself in some legal trouble. According to reports from TMZ , the rapper is being sued for using lyrics from another song in his 2018 track “Swap Meet” without proper clearing the record. The lawsuit in question was filed by a rapper by the name of Pretty Maw. She is claiming that Tyga ripped lyrics from her song “17th” without proper compensation, despite saying he would pay “a fixed monetary amount” in addition to royalties from “Swap Meet.” The official video for T-Raww’s track has accumulated over 7 million views on YouTube since its release back in September. The debut video from the lesser-known New Orleans artist for “17th” has yet to eclipse 14,000, but Pretty Maw can actually be seen at the end of the “Swap Meet” video performing a section of her song. Despite her appearance in Tyga’s video, she is not even officially featured on the track. This is far from the first time money has been a problem for Tyga. Back in July, he allegedly owed $157,000 for abandoning a leased vehicle . A few months before that in March, he was sued for failing to pay his $40,000 a month rent for a Beverly Hills mansion he was renting. In this most recent lawsuit, Pretty Maw is seeking an undisclosed amount of money and the discontinued distribution of “Swap Meet.” Continue reading →
