Source: Boston Globe / Getty Antonio Brown ‘s NFL season of struggle , at least off the field, continues. Nike has dropped its sponsorship of the New England Patriots star wide receiver after allegations that he raped his former personal trainer. According to TMZ , a Nike rep confirmed that AB is “not a Nike athlete.” AB had a player edition shoe with Nike of its Tech Trainer that dropped back in February 2019 but has been wiped from Nike’s site. Brown vehemently denies raping Britney Taylor and maintains that any sexual contact was consensual. Nevertheless, Brown signed a 1-year deal with the New England Patriots worth $15 million, so he’s not exactly hurting for money. He still has to deal with those allegations, though. — Photo: Getty
Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Kendrick Lamar Just Copped A New Crib In Manhattan Beach Kendrick Lamar and his longtime love just welcomed their bundle of joy to the family in July, so it’s only right they start this journey with a new home. Fresh off news that Kendrick made an appearance in the top 10 on Forbes’ highest paid hip-hop artists in 2019, the rapper just spent some of that hard-earned money on a new crib. According to reports from Variety , Lamar dropped $9.73 million on a mansion in Manhattan Beach, California–which is very close to his hometown, Compton. Because this was an off-market deal, photos of the interior are currently unavailable, but Powers Development were behind the mansion, a company known for its luxury homes. The house has four bedrooms and seven bathrooms across three stories and 5,350 square feet. Definitely not a small house by any means, but still pretty modest for a rapper of his caliber. Before this latest purchase, Kung-Fu Kenny spent $523,400 for a house in Eastvale, Riverdale County back in 2016. One year later, he paid $2.65 million for a home in a gated community in Calabasas, which he reportedly gifted to his mother and other family members thereafter. We can only hope this new crib has a studio in it so Kendrick can get to work on another album. It’s been 2-and-a-half years, sir, we’re waiting. View this post on Instagram Thankyou.

Source: Samir Hussein / Getty While it’s easy to think that models having access to the best estheticians doesn’t leave any room for skincare issues, Adwoa Aboah proves that it’s not the case. We love when celebs use their platform to foster change and uplift the community and the model is doing just that! As the founder of Gurls Talk , an online community that welcomes women of various ages to openly discuss topics ranging from mental health to body image, the month of September focuses on skin and body. In honor of the program, Adwoa got candid with her fans about her struggles with acne by posting a series of selfies. The selfies reflect a year-long project that documented her ups and downs with acne. From dark spots to blemishes and everything in between Adwoa is holding nothing back. View this post on Instagram In honor of our monthly theme of ‘Skin and Body’, I will be posting from a personal project that I have been creating for the last 2/3 years. Only ever meant for my eyes in order to obsessively scrutinize over my up and down battle with my skin. Some days it was acne, some days it wasn’t too bad, then mass breakouts followed by clear as day skin. It was exhausting never knowing what your skin was going to look like from one day to another, it was even more exhausting caring so much, about what work thought or if people noticed. Constantly apologizing whilst sat in front of a mirror for something that was out of my control, obsessing over my skin to a point that was very unhealthy at the best of times. This month as much as I can I will be posting those photos, not because my skin is the worst you’ve ever seen but because it feels time to let that shit go, time to join force with a community who bare their pimples for the world to see. A post shared by Adwoa Aboah (@adwoaaboah) on Sep 10, 2019 at 2:00am PDT There is no denying that sharing untouched images of ourselves, flaws and all can be an uncomfortable experience, it’s also empowering. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions that affects so many people from various ages. Like Adwoa, we believe that it’s important to show the world that you should be comfortable in your own skin no matter what. And her fans agree! One fan in particular commended her vulnerability saying, “I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to have someone speak out honestly and open heartedly about adult acne and the struggles that go with it, the fan shares. ” I suffered for so many years and even at the ripe age of 40, it still lingers and troubles me. I have the scars to prove it. I feel every pain babes. Thank you for baring all to us and advocating positivity in a real way.” While we can all agree that dealing with the ups and downs of acne can be a trying process, it feel amazing to know that we are not alone. Acne doesn’t define our beauty or who we are as people. And we are so proud of Adwoa for creating the conversation. How have you struggled with acne? Let us know down in the comments below!

Briana DeJesus. Bless her heart. The 16 & Pregnant cast member slash Teen Mom 2 firebrand is many things, but she has never been lucky in love. Yet when it came to her most recent boyfriend, John Rodriguez, it looked there was at long last reason for hope. Alas, she broke up with him last month, and when the news surfaced, there seemed to be many reasons for that. But was one of them a bombshell no one could've expected – that he went and got someone else pregnant?! That's the rumor going around, and THG is here to get after it and break things down for you as only we can. [Rolls up sleeves, takes deep breath …] 1. Oh, Girl … We’ve seen just a few of Briana’s relationships play out on television – namely the romantic interludes she had with Devoin Austin, Luis Miguel, Javi Marroquin, and John Rodriguez. Okay, that’s more than a few. But you get the idea. 2. Wowza Luis barely counts, in our view, because they were barely together and now he never comes around. Meanwhile, things between her and Devoin have always been at least a little rocky since the beginning of time. 3. That Time We did get to see a lot of her relationship with Javi, but like, do we have to remember it? Marroquin puts on a good nice-guy front, but as we’ve seen from his marriage to Kailyn Lowry and his recent scandal with Lauren Comeau and that girl he got naked with in the bathroom, every romance he’s involved with goes south fast – in dramatic fashion. 4. True Love? But back to Briana. She recently started dating John, and things were good. Really good. John did seem to be different. A lot different. 5. Making It Work It may have been tough, sure, since he lived in New York and of course she’s in Florida, but she said she was very happy with him. And she’s never one to mince words or sugar coat anything. 6. So Sad Unfortunately, last month Briana announced that she and John had gone their separate ways. View Slideshow
Jon Gosselin has alleged that his ex-wife and the mother of his eight kids in an abusive monster . This is likely the main takeaway from the former reality star's in-depth interview with DailyMailTV . But Jon has now expounded on his past with Kate Gosselin, revealing that he was pressured by TLC executives to stay married to his ex long after their love died… … and that he was even offered $1 million to keep the fake romance going. Crazy, right? What else did Jon tell The Daily Mail? Scroll down for a shocking recap: 1. Why us Jon throwing so much shade now? To be fair, he has ALWAYS shaded Kate, but there is a specific basis for why he is now spilling every ounce of tea: the ex-reality star signed a gag order back in 2009 when he and Kate got divorced. 2. And Now? The gag order has ended and Jon wants the world to know just how effed up Kate can be and just how effed up their marriage was by the end. 3. Let’s Start with the Alleged Abuse… Jon claims that Kate tossed teenage son Collin into a special needs facility solely because he was diagnosed with ADHD and that she left him there to rot. 4. Kate is a Monster “Kate … couldn’t deal with him. He was alone for three and a half years with no parents, all alone. It was inhumane,” he told The Daily Mail of what happened to Collin. 5. A Damning Accusation According to the The Daily Mail, Jon — who alleges that he received “50 or 60″ letters from the Department of Human Services over the years due to suspected child abuse — alleges that Kate sent Collin to a child and adolescent behavioral unit without his knowledge. 6. Collin Begged to Be Rescured The Daily Mail reports that Collin’s roommate smuggled out a letter in 2017 that read as follows: “I told Mom I want to live with you, she said no. But right? She can’t choose for me. I’m old enough now, I’m YOUR son, not hers. She was abusive to me after I left your house. I’m sorry. Take this to court because … you’re my dad, my savior.” View Slideshow
Last week, we learned that Kim Kardashian wants to move to Wyoming . Actually, it might be more accurate to say that Kanye West wants to move to Wyoming, and Kim has reached the stage where she figures it’s just easier to go along with his fantasies than to try and reason with him. In talking about the planned relocation, Kim revealed that it wouldn’t be just her and Kanye moving to the Cowboy State. No, they’ll be joined by her mother and sisters, as well: “We love Wyoming. It’s always been an amazing place. My husband did just buy a ranch there,” Kim told Jimmy Fallon in a recent interview. “His dream and his vision is to move there. I love L.A., so I envision summer, I envision some weekends, but yeah, we love it. It’s the prettiest place you’ve ever seen in your entire life.” She added: “It’s like, the prettiest place you’ve seen in your entire life. Even my sisters, everyone, we’ve had this dream of getting a ranch and just spending our summers there and getting away,” You might have noticed that Kim is placing a lot of emphasis on her intention to spend summers in Wyoming, which makes a lot of sense. As much as she might enjoy furs and boots that cost more than your car, a week in Aspen is one thing — an entire 7-month winter in the middle of nowhere is quite another. Insiders say the couple might soon find themselves at odds over this point, as Kanye would prefer to relocate to his ranch full-time. Caught in the middle of the dispute are the residents of the town of Cody, who seem to believe that any amount of time the Kard clan spends in their fair state will be entirely too much. The Kardashians make fairly frequent trips to Wyoming already, and it seems the simple folk who call Cody home are already fed up with their Hollywood ways. Naturally, where Kim and Kanye go, the paparazzi are sure to follow, which means that since the time of their first visit, they’ve been annoying their neighbors by trailing a pack of photographers with them everywhere they go. Local authorities say they’re powerless to do anything about the problem, as there’s “no law against chasing them or riding alongside them.” “Residents are set in their ways,” a Cody Public Information Officer tells Radar Online. “It’ll be a learning curve for them to get used to the way people are around here.” The town spokesperson goes on to confirm that residents are concerned about what effect the Kardashians might have on life in Cody. “It is a quiet place,” he says. “There are some who are upset about the move. Some are apprehensive.” The representative adds: “Because of their notoriety and headlines, people are scratching their heads.” “People don’t like when you move from out of state and try to change the way the people are around here. The residents are down to earth and private.” But while the information officer admits that there’s some reticence about Kimye coming to town, he also claims the reports about upset “neighbors” are overblown — as the Kardashians have no neighbors to speak of. “Most people feel like me,” he says. “They’re far enough out of town and they have no neighbors. I hope they enjoy their ranch.” So Kanye might be spending most of his year on a desolate ranch in the middle of nowhere? Sounds like Wyoming’s loss is the rest of society’s gain!

Cardi B is the youngest artist in this year’s ranking of hip-hop's highest-paid acts—and joins Nicki Minaj as 1 of only 2 women on the list—the latest example of a pay gap that has long plagued the industry https://t.co/bSmNzj7rcN pic.twitter.com/ivqaxdL5Pv — Forbes (@Forbes) September 19, 2019 Cardi B Questions Forbes Cash King List There’s something veryyyyy interesting about this year’s Forbes Hip-Hop Cash King list that has Kanye at #1 with $150 million earned over the past year. Yep, you read that right. $150 million just off Yeezy footwear and no tours or music. Again, very interesting. But even more eyebrow-raising is Cardi finishing behind Nicki Minaj by $1 million ($28 million) which prompted a seemingly bored Belcalis to (fairly) wonder how Forbes calculates these numbers in a random tweet that not-very-shockingly blew up Twitter. cardi falling behind in the forbes list hate to see it forbes is a liar and getting blocked brb pic.twitter.com/YgfkQJmMSU —
Source: Janet Mayer / Splash News FoodGod Talks O.J Simpson, Corey Vs Scott & More On ‘Food God: OMG’ The Kardashians have been a wide open book for the pas 12 years, but even for them some things are off limits. Like the family’s interactions with O.J. Simpson , a former friend of the family and client of the father, the late Robert Kardashian . But clearly, we can always count on Kim ‘s BFF Jonathan Cheban to get all the never before heard stories out of Mrs. West. On the latest episode of his podcast FoodGod: OMFG , Cheban opened up about his recent run-in with Simpson, which got Kim to recall her last encounter with “The Juice” that left her pretty emotional. FoodGod shared, “The first thing he asks is about you guys, like, ‘How are the girls? How’s everybody?’ Like, have you seen him ever?” Kim replied, “I think the last time I saw him was in Miami. It was before he had gone to jail this, you know, last situation. I think me, Kourtney [Kardashian] and Khloé [Kardashian] were in Miami in a club and we ran into him in the VIP section. It was behind a stage or something, I don’t even know what club it was at. I started crying. It was emotional, I think.” But the tea spilling didn’t stop there. Next week’s episode of KUWTK shows Kris Jenner’s boo Corey Gamble and Scott Disick get into a heated argument at Jonathan’s birthday dinner in L.A. And according to FoodGod, ish got real: “I’ve seen a lot of stuff on the Kardashians and been like ‘Wow, that’s not gonna air, cause it’s crazy!’ My birthday party, NOBU Malibu, Scott and Corey get into a psychotic fight that is so intense and crazy I didn’t think they were gonna air it. I’m telling you, out of all the stuff I’ve ever seen, this was the craziest thing I’ve seen on the show. This happened after my cake. Also, remember when the Internet was in a frenzy last week over Kim and Jonathan having dinner with Khloe’s baby daddy Tristan “Third Trimester” Thompson ? Well according to the FoodGod, they in fact did meet up with the Cavalier in NYC. Not only that — Jonathan actually wants Khloe and Tristan to get back together. Oop! Check out the full episode here .
