Tupac’s movie has a new release date (Pac’s birthday June 16th) and with it comes a new piece of a trailer. The All Eyez on Me “The Greatest” project initially looked promising, but with all the delays…they’ve sort of jinxed it and it will be hard to now live up to the hype.
Kim K Concerned About Kanye’s Health During Yeezy Season 5 Fashion Show Production New York Fashion Week is on and poppin’ and that means that Kanye West is hard at work trying to make is $6,000 distressed sweatshirts look as aesthetically pleasing as possible. We all know how deeply invested Ye is into the acceptance of the weirdo fashion folks, so the unveiling of Yeezy Season 5 is big deal for him. So much of a big deal that Kim Kardashian is worried that Kanye might regress from the progress he’s made since being released from the hospital after his big breakdown. Putting together will be the first big stress he’s had and she ain’t tryna deal with that s#!t again according to PEOPLE . “They spent the weekend apart so Kanye could focus on the show,” the insider says. “There is definitely some concern that the show will be too much stress for him. He gets so involved and it’s hard for him to not get obsessed.” The source adds that while this type of stress “has been very bad for him in the past,” Kim has been making sure to support him. “Kim keeps checking in to make sure he gets enough sleep,” the source says. Kris Jenner cited the fashion show as the reason that Kanye wasn’t there to run up on stage and snatch the mic from Adele Sunday night at the Grammys. “The truth is he’s got a big fashion show in New York because it’s New York Fashion Week,” Jenner, 61, said, adding, “And my entire family is back there… Some of the kids are on their way tomorrow. He’s got a lot of work to do. We wish he could be here!” You looking forward to seeing what type of dystopian swag Kanye unveils in his new collection Image via Splash
Josh Elliott was fired from CBS News on Monday following an unusual series of events that started on Friday when he resigned his post from the network’s digital channel. Which came as quite a surprise to his bosses. Elliott had served as CBSN’s lead daytime anchor for about a year, but he announced his emotional goodbye to viewers just prior to the weekend, saying it was his “last day” and adding: “It has been by any measure a great stay here at CBSN.” According to The New York Post, Elliott’s departure came as a shock to CBS executives, none of whom had any idea he was planning to leave the digital station. “This is a mess of epic proportions,” said a network source to Page Six. “Nobody at the top at CBS News knew that Josh was going to do that.” Insiders tell the publication that Elliott had recently sat and talked with Laurie Orlando, the network’s head of talent, who told him she wanted him to take on a bigger role at CBS News. “ “Then Josh announced his departure without warning,” explains the source. “Executives at CBS were stunned.” Sounds like quite the miscommunication, huh? Fast forward to Monday… and the axe coming down on Elliott’s CBS career. “Josh was called to a meeting with CBS News heads including [president] David Rhodes and fired. He was escorted out of the building by security,” writes Page Six. The source adds: “Meanwhile, Laurie Orlando, who seems to be responsible for much of this mess, is missing. Nobody has seen her. This is a mystifying situation.” Wait… what?!? Orlando is flat-out missing?!? Elliott seems to think that his executive producer is the one who messed up here, failing to alert higher-ups about his future at the network. “They totally bungled their own announcement,” says the source. “There was no communication.” The network has not confirmed the bizarre details behind Elliott’s departure, but the network did release a statement in regard to Elliott being let go. It reads: “CBS News and Josh Elliott are parting ways. Josh will no longer be reporting for CBS News. We are grateful for his contributions over the last year, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” Elliott has now been fired by CBS, ABC and CBS. You probably got to know him as co-host at ABC’S Good Morning America. However, abruptly quit in 2014 after he was poached by NBC. And now he’s gotten himself into this scandal at CBS. Elliott joined CBS News in March 2016 in order to serve as the lead anchor for its digital news service CBSN. It was thought by many that that he was being groomed as a successor to Charlie Rose and was due to fill in for the news legend over the next several days, as Rose just underwent heart surgery. Alas. We’ll be curious to see what’s next for Josh Elliott.
Kate Upton Thinks Her Spongebob Bawwwwdy Should Cover Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue Again We’re excited to learn that Sports Illustrated will be releasing their Swimsuit issue next Monday — and even more juiced to learn Serena Williams is expected to be one of three possible cover stars. OG supermodel Christie Brinkley may be sharing cover model honors with Williams (at the tender age of 63!), Brinkley also posed with her daughters Sailor and Alexa Ray for the issue. Lastly we hear that Kate Upton is also in the running for cover honors! Here’s where it gets tricky… Upton may or may not be in the issue at all because she was acting like a real beyotch during production of the issue… “There was drama,” one source told Page Six. “Kate demanded that if she did the shoot, that she absolutely must get the cover. She also had a list of photographers and hair and makeup people she would only work with.” Yikes… This is insane, especially considering SI pretty much made Upton famous when she won their Rookie of the Year honors for the 2011 issue. She’s since covered the magazine twice — in 2012 and 2013. “She was being a big f - - king diva,” the source continued. “She’s thinks she’s better than everyone because she’s an actress.” We saw Upton in “The Other Woman” along with Nicki Minaj and Cameron Diaz and found her acting to be pretty much trash… She reportedly has another three movies currently in post-production. Let’s hope those turn out better. It turns out that this isn’t the first time Upton, who is engaged to marry baseball pro Justin Verlander, has been accused of diva behavior. A previous NY Post article pondered whether her “ego is ‘ruining her career.’ ” While another modeling industry vet said that her “demands became ridiculous.” A spokesperson for the mag huffed about the speculation, “It’s that time of year again. Who is in, who’s on the cover, what will they do next? Everyone has a guess, and that’s all this is.” Do you think SI should have shut down Upton completely? We always have thought she has kind of a Spongebob shape. At least Upton was nice enough to contratulate last year’s cover girls. Hit the flip for a few of the images Sports Illustrated has released so far. SportsIllustrated
Pair Partied At Same Club During Super Bowl Weekend, But Things Weren’t What They Seemed They were spotted partying in the same VIP area during a Super Bowl party in Houston over the weekend, leading some to speculate that the New York Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr. and Nicole Murphy were dating. And at least one blog published a story that the NFL baller and comedian Eddie Murphy’s ex-wife were now an item and attended the Mercy Nightclub together Saturday night, where the milf “kept a close eye” on the 24-year-old, according to the report. The report also claimed they later left together as security kept onlookers at bay. But BOSSIP can exclusively confirm that Beckham and Murphy are not dating, and have never even met one another. They just happened to be at the same place at the same time. “Nicole has never met him before,” a source told us. “Not even that night. They’ve never met. They didn’t even talk.” The 49-year-old mother of five happened to walk by the VIP section where Beckham was holding court with his friends as the featured host at the Houston club, a source with knowledge of the situation told BOSSIP. A photographer then snapped them in proximity to one another, but the source insisted they were not together. Migos were performing at the venue, and Jas Prince was also spotted in the building. Beckham did spend the weekend partying in Houston, but was focused on hanging out with his boys – not trying to pick up girls, the source said. Beckham hasn’t been out on the dating scene since courting actress and singer Zendaya last year. “He didn’t touch or talk or look at any girl,” the source said. “He was with his guys.”
Tamron Hall has sent a message to The Today Show. And the message basically goes like this: See ya! Wouldn’t want to be ya! The long-time anchor of the third hour of Today, Hall left her post today, about a week after news spread that she would lose her gig to NBC’s latest big hire, Megyn Kelly. “The last 10 years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I’m grateful. I’m also very excited about the next chapter,” Hall said via statement, adding: “To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you.” In news that broke last week, sources confirmed that Kelly – who left Fox News for NBC at the outset of 2017 – will host her own five-days-a-week program at either 9am EST or 10am EST on NBC. If she ends up in the earlier timeslot, then Kelly will bridge the gap between the first two hours of Today and the fourth hour, which has been hosted by a buzzed Hoda Kotb ad Kathie Lee Gifford for years. If Kelly ends up in the later timeslot, then Kotb and Gifford will move to 9am themselves. Either way, Hall and Al Roker will be the odd employees out. They will no longer head up their own 60 minutes of the popular morning series, despite being the top-rated program on broadcast television every week for the last seven weeks in their timeslot. Hall is clearly peeved about this development. “Yesterday was her last day as an anchor on both networks,” the network said of Hall, referring to NBC and MSNBC. “Tamron is an exceptional journalist, we valued and enjoyed her work at Today and MSNBC and hoped that she would decide to stay. “We are disappointed that she has chosen to leave, but we wish her all the best.” Just how angry was Hall over being bumped due to Kelly’s arrival? “She was offered a lot of money to stay … a new multi-year, multi-million dollar deal to stay at the Today show and MSNBC and she turned it down,” a source tells People Magazine. Moreover, this same source says Hall doesn’t even have a landing spot at the moment. Her contract with NBC was up, but she hasn’t been offered any deals by any competing networks. At least not yet. She simply wanted out. Aside from the actual demotion, Hall is allegedly mad at the way she found out about NBC’s scheduling plans. On Friday, this People insider claims, Hall was informed that she and Roker were losing their gigs mere minutes before she was set to go on the MSNBC air. “In Tamron Hall style, she went on air and acted like the classy professional that she is,” the source says, although it’s clear she wasn’t happy with how everything played out. “She couldn’t believe they told her right before she had to go on air. She was definitely shocked.” Roker will still appear regularly during other hours of The Today Show. We’re guessing he isn’t pleased with this maneuvering by the network, either, but he’s practically an American icon at this point. He’ll be fine. Let’s hope Hall lands on her feet somewhere and proves to be more than fine in the near future as well.
Joy-Anna Duggar, the latest member of her family to enter into a courtship, is already making the most of her time with Austin Forsyth. If you know what we mean!! NOTE : We don’t mean Joy-Anna Duggar breaking courtship rules , actually. She may well be, but that’s not the crux of this new report. “We’ve gotten to experience so much already in our relationship,” Joy-Anna, 19, says in the latest issue of People magazine. Again, we are not talking about rumors that Austin got Joy-Anna Duggar pregnant , which would rival some of Josh’s scandals. Not in terms of being terrible human beings, but in terms of the Internet breakage that would follow if such a true story broke. Their courtship sounds pretty vanilla, to hear her tell it. “Lots of church ministries, road trips, hiking, hunting and remodeling houses together,” Joy-Anna says of her boyfriend of several months. She and Austin Forsyth , who announced their courtship in November, have a unique relationship by Duggar standards, in that they met long ago. More than 15 years ago, as a matter of fact, when his family moved to Arkansas and started attending the Duggars’ church with the family. “It’s really special that I got to grow up with him and my family knows him really well,” says Joy-Anna of her future husband (call it a hunch). Three of her sisters (Jill, Jessa and Jinger) have already been through the courtship process, so she’s getting plenty of advice from them. Every relationship is different, of course, but there are themes. “Watching my sisters go through that with their courtships sets a really good example,” says the Counting On star of navigating this. “I was able to ask them just a lot of questions and wisdom about what they did and didn’t do and then just making it special,” she adds. “Showing him how much I appreciate him, it’s been amazing.” As for if (or let’s be honest, when) she’ll walk down the aisle? “I’m not sure when the next step will come,” she admits. “You would have to ask Austin what he’s thinking and my dad, but I’m excited to see what God has in store for us in the next year.” If you watch Counting On online , you know this isn’t anything new. Jim Bob calls the shots, though there has been resistance of late. Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo can attest to that. Those two seemed to relish in pushing the envelope with Jim Bob throughout the process; Jessa even threw shade at Jinger for this. As far as Joy-Anna and Austin are concerned, some sources say they’ve been an item for well over a year, and have been … intimate. “Despite this ‘courting’ nonsense, Joy-Anna and Austin have actually been having sex together for a year,” says a source close to the family. The Duggars not only forbid premarital sex, obviously, but non-married couples aren’t permitted to engage in any kind of physical contact. Seriously. Full-frontal hugs are not allowed in Tontitown. The insider says Joy-Anna and Austin made it clear from the start – not unlike Jinger and Jeremy – that they will be charting their own path. View Slideshow: 13 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family Says the family insider, in the understatement of all time: “Jim Bob and Michelle can preach all they want about their children’s chastity, but the plain fact is that their kids are like anyone else’s.” “[By] the late teens, their hormones are raging.” “Joy-Anna is no different, and she and Austin [are] way past the hand-holding stage,” says the source, alleging the aforementioned rumor. “It led to them getting the fright of their young lives.” Again, Joy-Anna is not pregnant, and there’s scant evidence that she and Austin, hormonally charged as they may be, have gone there. Still, it seems like Jim Bob is slowly (okay, very slowly, but noticeably) may be losing his grip on power with each passing year and courtship.

While it’s true that Kim Kardashian-Kanye West divorce rumors have been circulating pretty much since the day the couple got hitched, this time around there’s real reason to believe that Kimye may soon be a thing of the past. Sources have confirmed that Kim and Kanye lived in separate homes for a brief period following his hospitalization for psychiatric issues. These days, it appears that the Wests are once again cohabiting, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of the woods just yet. In fact, it seems that Kim and Kanye are having such a tough time lately that they’ve been undergoing an “extreme” form of couples counseling in a last-ditch effort to save their struggling marriage. “They’re having twice-weekly sessions, plus a third session on their own, each of which costs $1,000 a pop,” a source close to the couple tells Radar Online. On top of the frequent face-to-face sessions, Kim and Yeezy have reportedly been taking full advantage of their therapist’s 24-hour stand-by services. “Their on-call therapist is available 24/7, which doesn’t come cheap, but she’s also available via Skype if they’re out of town,” says the insider. Not surprisingly, that sort of round-the-clock help doesn’t come cheap: “The help is costing them $4,000 a week for the four sessions and another $1,000 every time there’s an off-hours query,” the source adds. Yes, $1,000 for a phone call. At that rate, most folks would hold off unless there was some sort of serious emergency, but this is Kanye we’re talking about. You know he’s making the call every time Kim forgets to tell him how dope his leather sweat pants are. The whole situation sounds extreme, but apparently Kim and Kanye’s problems are serious enough to justify this approach. The insider says Kim nearly reached her breaking point when she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris back in October. Kanye was reportedly not as supportive as Kim needed him to be, and she was forced to finally come clean about a litany of complaints that she had been keeping to herself. “They have a lot of issues to work through and Kanye’s in total shock at just how unhappy Kim’s been,” said the source. “He’s had his head in the clouds.” View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos Head in the clouds? Kanye? We simply can’t believe that. Are we laying on the sarcasm thick enough for you?
Last we checked on Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, the couple was going strong at the People’s Choice Awards . BS and GS certainly aren’t shy about their love, but they are careful about controlling how much of their life together goes public. Pretty much from the time they first hooked up, we’ve been hearing rumors about Gwen and Blake getting married , but both parties have been evasive when asked about plans to tie the knot. But that may be soon to change … Radar Online is reporting today that Shelton and Stefani are receiving more money to return for future seasons than any other judges on The Voice. The reason seems to be that producers are well aware that viewers love ’em some Gwake chemistry, and the relationship has proven to be a ratings bonanza. “[Blake and Gwen] are getting paid an exceptional bonus that is significantly higher than the other judges to keep the spark alive on-camera,” a production source tells Radar. Of course, the novelty of the fact that two of the judges are dating will eventually wear off, which means Gwen and Blake may have to offer fans more of an insider’s view of their relationship if they want to keep the audience interested. The news of the bonus has led to speculation that Gwen and Blake might have promised producers something special. Like, for example, an on-air proposal during one of the show’s live segments. Obviously, that’s just speculation at this point, but makes an awful lot of sense. Without the expectation of that sort of event television, it wouldn’t make much sense for the network to offer Gwen and Blake significantly more cash than the other judges. After all, the tabloid interest in their relationship has begun to die down, and that will likely translate to diminishing returns in terms of ratings. Blake proposing to Gwen on the air would certainly boost interest in the show, however temporarily. But it seems like producers have some other tricks up their sleeve, as well: “The producers really want to see Gwen and Blake in competition more often this upcoming season, versus working with each other like they have in the past,” says the insider. View Slideshow: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: 11 Most Adorable PDA Moments “And, of course, there is a stipulation in their contract, which is more of a break-up clause,” the source claims. “If, for some reason, they call it quits, they are both required to finish out the remainder of their existing contracts.” Now that could make for some intense competition.
Coming into 2017, the future wasn’t looking very bright for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. New rumors about Kim and Kanye divorcing seem to have popped up at the rate of about one a week since the couple walked down the aisle back in 2014, but this time, it seems there’s real reason to believe their marriage hit hit a serious rough patch. Kanye was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown back in November, and far from running into his arms after he was released, Kim appeared to keep her distance. The two of them were only spotted separately in public, and there were even rumors of Kim and Kanye living in different homes . Weeks later, no one is denying that they were sleeping under different roofs for a time, but family insiders have offered the explanation that the Wests were just following doctor’s orders for the safety of their kids. Believable, but still not a great sign for the future of their marriage. Last week, however, a gradual Kimye reconciliation seemed to begin, as evidenced by the holiday photo that Kanye posted on Instagram. Was it a transparent attempt to send the message that the and Kim had patched things up? Of course! But according to sources close to the couple, they are actually making an attempt to rescue their relationship. Of course, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not those efforts are paying off. “Kanye and Kim are still in that very polite stage after a blowup,” a source tells People magazine. “They’re getting along better, but it’s still a difficult time. He’s committed to getting healthy.” As for what may have triggered the meltdown that nearly led to divorce, insiders say Kanye is struggling to cope with the 2007 death of his mother, Donda West. “Kanye still doesn’t have closure about his mother, and I don’t know that he ever will,” one source tells the magazine. “[Her death] was unexpected, and he had no time to prepare for it. “When the anniversary comes along, it’s like the wound is reopened. Some years, he does okay in managing it. Other years, not as much. This was a year where things went off the rails.” Obviously, Kanye is a frequent punchline in celebrity circles, but if the reports of what he’s going through are true, then it’s certainly no laughing matter. We wish him all the best and hope he’s able to find the help he needs. View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos
