Image via Digital Focus/Splash News Chole Bennet Goes OFF On Commenter Who Questioned Her Asian Name Change Again, we don’t see any lies . You may not be too familiar with actress Chloe Bennet unless you’re a big fan of the ABC show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but she recently did something that will probably make you remember her name. Her REAL name. According to PEOPLE , Chloe took to Instagram to sing effusive praise of Ed Skrein for resigning from his Hellboy role where he was to play a whitewashed Asian character. One fan commented that Chloe should STFU because she changed her OG surname to “Bennet” from “Wang”. Suffice to say, she was triggered and her reactionary thumbs went to work: “Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I lived in China, speak Mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese,” Bennet replied. “It means I had to pay my rent, and Hollywood is racist and wouldn’t cast me with a last name that made them uncomfortable,” she continued. “I’m doing everything I can, with the platform I have, to make sure no one has to change their name again, just so they can get work. So kindly love, f— off.” Brrrat! Brrrat! Skrr-skrrrrrt! Guess the IG user who made the comment got more than he or she bargained for, their account has been deleted.

A brotha who had been through a lot in his life, blew his chance at greatness and has been trying to build himself back up ever since. Vick recently made some comments about Colin Kaepernick , his politics and his hair that had us all looking at him like he was out of his damn mind. But this new news is just…gross. According to USAToday , Fox Sports has hired the embattled quarterback to be an on-air talent on their Sunday show, NFL Kickoff . “I’m very excited,” Vick told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview on Friday. “Over the last seven or eight months, I’ve done a lot of interviews, and I think I’ve gotten better as I’ve been put in those situations more often. Things really came together (with Fox) over the last couple months. They have shows that I have always watched and admired. My friends and family are thankful and proud of me.” Sounds like the conservative corporate parasites at Fox heard Vick slam Kaep and got a lil’ bulge in their pants and pantsuits. Tap dancing for a check and joining a reality TV cast , huh? Mike must need this money BAD. SMH.
Gloria James’ Former Rapper Boo Goes In On LeBron On Instagram UPDATE: Lambo has deleted all posts about LeBron and made his IG completely private. Sigh. Well Lambo’s just fed TF up, ain’t he? Rumors have been swirling recently that LeBron James forced his mama to dump his same-age step daddy after he was caught cheating. Her Miami rapper bae Lambo caught wind of these reports and took to Instagram to call out LeBron, posting the article he saw and denying he did anything to hurt his woman. Beyond denying the rumors tho, Mrs. James’ ting also decided to call out the Cleveland ball player, saying he’s an absolute dirty dog to his wife Savannah. Lambo posted a bunch of things regarding the rumors, since deleting most of them except for the following video, where he threatens to expose LeBron and what terrible ways he’s allegedly treating his wife. He claims that Bron Bron was so threatened by how good Lamb was treating his mom, it made him look bad, and so he had to get him outta there. In a since deleted Instagram post, Lambo then posted an article pertaining to his break-up saying “U!! Know the truth why we broke up! So should I tell the world the truth!!! ,U SAW ME TREAT YOUR MOM LIKE A QUEEN, AND I SAW YOU TREAT YOUR WIFE LIKE A!!! DON’T TRY AND MAKE THE WORLD THINK THAT LAMBO FUCKED UP!! LET THE WORLD KNOW WHATS THE REAL FUCKED UP PROBLEM IN THE FAMILY” LeBron and Lambo used to be at least cordial with one another, but things are bound to get a little testosterone-heavy when your mother’s man is liiiiiike 1 year older than you. It’s up in the air whether the “truth” will come out, or if the Miami rapper will actually end up doing any exposing of his ex’s familia…but since he’s been deleting posts since his initial outbursts, it might not be likely. Get your 15 minutes, Lambo. We seeeeee you.

Wishes Tiny A Slightly Suspect Happy Birthday T.I. has been run over several times by a speeding MARTA bus over the past few months after it was revealed that he had *allegedly* been dirty doggin’ his wife, Tiny Harris with a woman that she hired to work for them. The slander intensified when millions viewed an episode of Family Hustle where Tip went Tony Soprano on Tiny and asked the now infamously irrelevant viral question: “But, were you at odds with her?” All that aside, T.I. still loves his wife. They have been together longer than a lot of people who watch Family Hustle have been alive. They built a marriage, business and family that they can be proud of. Today is Tiny’s 42nd birthday and Tip took to Instagram to sing her praises as well as offer some head-scratching commentary about their relationship… https://www.instagram.com/p/BWiIxLUjW1j/ “A relationship that supersedes fidelity…”? “And while I may have fu**ed up…”? Overall, we’d say this a sweet message, but Cliff is still trying to couch his cheating with these poignant and polysyllabic phrases that just don’t pass the smell test, no Hazel E. That said, happy birthday, Tiny! What do you think about T.I. sappy born day soliloquy?

(Headlinephoto / Splash News) Hassan Jameel Won Rihanna Over By Wooing Her With Romantic Gifts RihRih’s finally met a man on her level and we hear he went to extremes to impress her. Daily Mail reports that Jameel had a life size bear flown to RihRih on an empty jet, just to show her how much she means to him. A source for the UK Sun says, “It sounds outrageous, but these guys are obviously in a different world to the rest of us – although even by their standards with was a seriously big romantic gesture. The Sun also reports: ‘This relationship is the real deal. Rihanna has told friends she’s in love with him and seems completely smitten. ‘They’ve been spending a lot of time together away from prying eyes and are really serious. They’re really enjoying each others’ company.’ She definitely did a great job hiding him away from the public. She hasn’t been hiding him from her family though. Daily Mail also reports that Rihanna told her family about the romance a month ago, but apparently her dad is worried he may be too rich. ‘I didn’t know he was a billionaire. Too little money, or too much money can’t make you happy, you need to something in-between.’ ‘He’s going to have to buckle up, she’s a hard-working girl, she’s very independent and ambitious. Nobody can tell her what to do. ‘She doesn’t want to be lifted up, she wants to get up there herself.’ Something tells us RihRih will be just fine. SplashNews/WENN
