Rob Kardashian: Now That I’m Thin, I’m Horny to Date Again!

With the news that Rob Kardashian has lost a ton of weight , people are naturally wondering if he is ready to return to the spotlight. For that matter, with his tumultuous romance with Blac Chyna (probably) behind him, is he ready to start dating again? A report reveals what Rob has planned. According to HollywoodLife , Rob Kardashian isn’t going to try to compete with his sisters for fame. “Rob is going to continue to stay away from the limelight,” an insider reveals. A huge part of that is just that he’s happy with the way that things are. “He likes the life he is living,” the source notes. Well, he’s wealthy and he’s reportedly lost 30-50 pounds and he has a beautiful daughter. The insider says that Rob is happy that way “and doesn’t want the extra baggage that his last name brings” “And,” the source says, Rob is leery of the added baggage that his famous last name “could bring.” The insider explains that Rob is afraid that he could lose this hard-won happiness “if he started doing shows again.” That camera shyness extends to even his family’s own claim to fame. The source says that Rob is avoiding being on his own show “or being on Keeping Up with the Kardashians on a more consistent basis.” In other words, it sounds like he is more than satisfied with being a guest star. That’s okay — not everyone is like Kim and Khloe and feels like they always need to be working on multiple projects. But Rob’s weight loss could be a signal that he’s ready to dive head-first into the world of dating. “He also would love to find love again,” the insider reveals. “But,” the source says. “He doesn’t want to make it a game.” So Rob’s not in the running to star on The Bachelor , we take it. In fact, apparently he doesn’t want to date on camera at all. “He wants to meet somebody outside of TV cameras,” the insider explains. People don’t act like their real selves on camera. (Who would know that better than a Kardashian) So he wants to date organically — or, at least, off camera. The source says: “He thinks that is the only way it will work out.” The insider clarifies that “he is eager to date.” That is no surprise. He’s looking for love. And, to be blunt, taking up a regular exercise routine and losing weight can both make you horny. Rob is even open “to be set up with people.” “He just doesn’t want it to be broadcast to the world,” the source says. Earlier this month, there was a stunning admission. Despite the court battles and the alleged fights, Blac Chyna sounds open to reconciliation with Rob . When asked if she would ever get back with him, Chyna said: “Yes, maybe, we’ll see. OK?” This shocking revelation came after Chyna secured the kind of child support money that guarantees that Dream has a bright future. Given how toxic these two were when they were together, perhaps it is best that they continue on their separate paths. View Slideshow: Kardashian Family Members’ Net Worth: Ranked! Insane!!

Rob Kardashian: Thin! "Completely Different" Now! [Report]

Out of sight, out of mind? For Rob Kardashian, it’s been closer to: Out of sight, out of mind… out of those XXL jeans and into a basic large. According to a new Entertainment Tonight report, the former reality star is thriving now that he’s stepped far away from the spotlight. As you’ve likely noticed, Rob is not appearing on his family’s E! series this season and he’s no longer sharing anything on social media. And such a private existence is serving the father of one extremely well. “Getting out of the spotlight was so important for Rob,” this source says, noting that leaving Instagram has also been especially positive for him: “He needed to completely change his life, things were spiraling out of control for him and his health and relationships were suffering. He needed to refocus.” This same insider estimates that Rob has lost between 30 and 50 pounds over the past few months. Because the star suffers from Diabetes, this is more than just an asthetic improvement. It means his quality of life has improved and his general health is in a far better place than it was during the heyday of his fame. There were fears in the past that Rob’s awful diet would literally lead to his death , as we detailed just over a year ago how Kardashian’s love of milkshakes had caused his weight to balloon. Due to his weight gain and inactivity at the time, Rob started to develop insulin resistance, which is a very dangerous condition for someone afflicted with Diabetes. That was then, however. “His life is completely different now,” this source explains, adding of where Rob’s head it at these days; “He’s got his priorities in check. First and foremost he is there for Dream and he knows that to do so he needs to be healthy.” Indeed, Rob’s daughter with Blac Chyna will soon turn two years old. She’s a total cutie – and, whatever you want to say about how Rob and Chyna treated each other during their romance, it seems like both parents are very dedicated to their child’s well-being. This report also says that Rob has been spending a lot of time with both his siblings and their kids as well. This has been very helpful for Dream. “All the cousins [Dream and Rob’s sister’s kids] are very close,” the insider tells ET. Back in 2016, Rob told People Magazine that he once weighed around 300 pounds. He knew he was in trouble, but he just couldn’t help himself. He buried himself in food any time he felt sad. Thankfully, those days appear to be behind him and Rob is looking forward to the future and… … what? Blac Chyna may want to get back together with him ?!?!? Crap.

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Tis’ the season to hit up your alma mater and turn up with your peers like you’re in undergrad all over again. Homecoming is one of the few times in your adult life where you get to experience the nostalgia of being a college student again — minus the classes and homework. The best part about homecoming, besides partying with old friends, is the halftime show at the football game.   Sure, most guys come to see their take home the W, but men and women alike come to see the dance squads do their thing. Especially when it comes to HBCU’s. The Majorette’s dance segment is like a party in itself. STINGETTES! STINGETTES! STINGETTES! These girls are not playing at the Magic City Classic this year!

Her J-Setting, prancing and stepping was all the way on point. One fan tweeted , “ @Beyonce gave us a HBCU homecoming performance, just so y’all know. I mean the whole homecoming. Step show. Band. Dance. Concert. I’m telling you. You better do your research and then enroll! You won’t regret it.” And unlike some stars who steal from the lesser known without any form of compensation, Bey gave away 100,000 worth of scholarships to HBCU students . Some fans even joked that the Queen Bey didn’t get to live out her dream of being the HBCU dance team captain because she had to be Beyoncé. Whether that’s facts or not, we don’t know —but what we do know is that the power of the HBCU band dancers is not to be underestimated. From the outfits, to the music selections to the flawless routines, band majorettes are and integral part of not only the Black college experience, but Black culture as a whole. In honor of Homecoming season, check out these five HBCU dance teams that get the crowd so lit, every game feels like Homecoming. Did your school make the cut?

Andrew Gillum’s Support Extends Well Beyond The Black Community, Poll Shows

T allahassee Democratic Mayor Andrew Gillum , the first Black major party nominee for Florida governor, has strong support for his candidacy outside the state’s African-American communities, according to a new poll. See Also: Here’s What Polls Are Showing About Black Candidates In Key Races A Quinnipiac University survey released on Wednesday showed Gillum with a strong lead among women, Independent and Hispanic voters over his Trump-backed rival Ron DeSantis , WTVJ-TV , an NBC News affiliate, reported. Gillum had a 59 percent to 39 percent lead among women voters. With Independents, the mayor led DeSantis 56 percent to 40 percent, and he garnered 59 percent of the Hispanic vote. Meanwhile, 98 percent of Black voters said they planned to cast their ballot for Gillum. Latest Quinnipiac Poll Has Andrew Gillum With Nearly Double Digit Lead in Race for Florida Governor: https://t.co/xzhwytVZ3R — NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) September 26, 2018 Overall, Gillum had a nearly double-digit lead over his GOP opponent: 54 percent to 45 percent. This appears to be the biggest lead in the polls since Gillum won an amazing come-from-behind primary victory in August. Previously, a Reuters–Ipsos–UVA Center for Politics poll published Sept. 19 gave the Black candidate a 6-point lead over DeSantis. Indeed, his poll numbers have increased each week. A Real Clear Politics average of several polls  (covering Aug. 29 through Sept. 20) showed Gillum with an average lead of roughly 4 percentage points. Gillum selected a white running mate for lieutenant governor who brings a surprising asset to the ticket: the support of Black leaders in a key region of the state. Orlando-area businessman Chris King  developed relationships with Black ministers and activists in Central Florida during his run for governor in the 2018 primaries against Gillum. DeSantis, who resigned from Congress on Sept. 10 to focus on the election, came under fire for a racist remark about Gillum less than 24 hours after winning the GOP nomination. He urged voters not to “ monkey this up ” by voting for the Black candidate. He’s also been in the spotlight over his deep connections to white supremacists .

Ellison appeared not to be seriously harmed by an allegation of domestic abuse from his ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan .
