The family initially teased photos of the little guy from far away and now we get a chance to see who he resembles more, mom Kim or dad Kanye. Kim thinks that Psalm looks more like Ye, who recently celebrated his 42nd birthday over the weekend, noting in a caption simply, “Psalm Ye.” Kim faced backlash when she initially posted a photo of Psalm in a sleeping position that could have triggered sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. Kardashian made certain that the new photo of baby Psalm featured him in a more appropriate position, laying on his back with his arms behind his head.

Dean McDermott is many things: Broke. Annoying. Desperate for attention. But he’s also something else: A rather well-known cheater. The reality star left wife Mary Jo Eustace for Tori Spelling — and then stepped out so many times on his second wife that he once checked into rehab for sex addiction. ( Editor’s Note : There is no such thing as sex addiction. Some lonely, insecure people may need companionship in some sort of pathological fashion… but one is addicted to the act of sex. That’s ridiculous.) “I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I’ve caused my family,” McDermott said in a statement in early 2014 after admitting to at least one affair. He added at the time: “I take full responsibility for my actions and have voluntarily checked myself into a treatment center to address some health and personal issues. “I am grateful to be getting the help I need so I can become the husband and father my family deserves.” That was way back then. Now? McDermott is still largely known for the many affairs he’s carried out, a reputation he appears to have accepted long ago. He can’t change it; nor can he change his part behavior, as much as he prays he could. “I really, really wish that I had been given the knowledge of think with your head, not your penis, because I did a lot of thinking with my penis,” the 52-year-old confessed to co-hosts Adam Hunter and Nicky Paris on the first episode of the “Daddy Issues” podcast. After Hunter and Paris spoke honestly about the guidance their respective parents provided them with over the years, McDermott said this wasn’t the case for him. He that his dad didn’t really give him “any advice” at all, adding that he learned “how to be a man” on his own. “I got three older sisters … lost my mother when I was 15, she passed away, and then Dad wasn’t around,” McDermott explained, crediting his son from his marriage to Eustace, Jack, for teaching him great deal. “Having a kid the first time was what really taught me how to be a parent… “As far as being a father, I sort of learned as I went along. … I made a lot of mistakes, but learned a lot. Six kids later, I’m still making mistakes.” One shouldn’t need to have a stable upbringing to know that one should not sleep with someone who is not one’s spouse. But fair enough, we suppose, Dean. His marriage to Spelling has seemingly been on the verge of divorce ever since the stars got hitched in 2006. Yet still, here they remain. The two are the parents to many, many kids: Liam, 12, Stella, 11, Hattie, 7, Finn, 6, and Beau, 2. Back in December of 2013, Us Weekly broke the news that McDermott cheated on the Beverly Hills, 90210 actress with then 28-year-old Emily Goodhand while on location shooting Chopped Canada. The couple documented the aftermath of the scandal for two seasons on Lifetime’s True Tori. So at least they got some ratings and a few storylines out of the scandal. And McDermott said on this podcast that the couple also grew closer after they overcome his unethical actions. “It’s so not about the person you’re with,” McDermott said about cheating in general, concluding: “For me, it wasn’t about [Tori]. It was about inadequacies in myself, I felt so bad about myself, I felt like a piece of sh-t, I needed to do that to feel some kind of power. “It was horrible and I’m an asshole, piece of sh-t for doing it, [but now] our relationship is better than ever. “That was a rough Christmas, we came out the other end.”

Mayor de Blasio, in remarks to CNN, said “there’s no evidence of any act of terror or motivation.” According to NYDailyNews , an Agusta A109E collided with the 54-story AXA Equitable Center on Seventh Ave. at W. 51st St. this afternoon. A fire immediately broke out with the deceased pilot trapped inside for almost an hour after the crash. 787 7th ave, #midtown NYC. We’re 1 block south. 20 mins ago there was a loud sound like a too-low #helicopter & I looked up and saw sheet of flame on roof and then smoke.

So every time that I keep traveling, like, my feet and my legs, they swell up. Like, I had really bad ‘cankles.’ Then after my shows, I wasn’t really feeling it when I performing, but I would really feel a lot of back pains. And then on top of that, my stitches around my boobs, on the outside, are completely healed, but the inside, you know, you still got stitches in the inside, in my breasts, so they’ve slowly got to heal.” The Bronx native is scheduled to perform on June 16th at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. There is no word of her cancelling that performance so hopefully she will be healthy enough to take the stage. This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com . Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Bushwick Bill , the giant-size figure who, along with fellow Geto Boys Scarface and Willie D kicked down the door for Houston rap to be noticed nationally has reportedly succumbed to pancreatic cancer. He was 52. Tributes have begun pouring in from Scarface to Bun B , Slim Thug, Questlove and more. In May, Bill revealed he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer . He told TMZ and others that he was prepared to fight and ultimately beat the disease. He announced a F*ck Cancer tour that was supposed to kick off Saturday in Dallas, Texas. Born in Jamacia in 1966, Richard Stephen Shaw eventually found his way into the hearts and minds of rap fans under the moniker Bushwick Bill when he joined forces with Scarface and Willie D to form the third and most popular version of the Geto Boys. Bill, having been a Geto Boy since 1984 when J. Prince first started Rap-A-Lot Records, was there for the original incarnation of Raheem, Slim Jukebox, and Sir Rap-A-Lot and then Prince Johnny C, Slim Jukebox, Bushwick Bill, and DJ Ready Red in 1985. A self-proclaimed introvert , Bill often said in interviews that he “never had a big personality” but it came out on stage, often. In June 1991, before the group’s most famous album came one of the more fascinating stories in rap history. After shooting himself in the eye on accident, the incident turned into the landmark album cover for We Can’t Be Stopped . Thus, the legend of Bushwick Bill was born. “I figure keeping it myself is not really helping nobody, and I’m not really afraid of dying because if anyone knows anything about me from [his 1992 song] ‘ Ever So Clear ,’ I died and came back already in June 1991, so I know what it’s like on the other side,” Bill told TMZ in May. He had planned to release three albums to set his children up in lieu of his untimely demise. RELATED: Bushwick Bill Gives Health Update As Geto Boys Reunion Tour Gets Canceled

H ip hop mogul Jay-Z doesn’t only preach about the importance of entrepreneurship and ownership in the Black community; it’s something that he practices. The Brooklyn-bred rapper is investing in the futures of African American entrepreneurs. According to Black Enterprise , he recently invested $1 million in a Black-owned vegan cookie company. . @PartakeFoods is a black-owned company that makes health-conscious food products. https://t.co/qIPOmlFtmN — Black Enterprise (@blackenterprise) June 5, 2019 The brand—dubbed Partake Foods—was created by Denise Woodard . She founded the company after she struggled to find healthy snacks for her daughter who had several food allergies. Woodard realized that there was a larger need for more health-conscious food options and decided to move forward with launching her business. She funded her company through a Kickstarter campaign and as it grew, she left her corporate job at Coca-Cola to put all of her time into Partake Foods. Woodard started out selling cookies from her car and later received investments from venture capital firms that included Arlan Hamilton ’s Backstage Capital, The Factory, SoFi Venture, and Chuck Muth who is on the leadership team at Beyond Meat; a company that provides plant-based food options. Jay-Z’s investment was made through his venture capital firm Marcy Venture Capital Partners. “We are so excited to collaborate with the MVP and Factory teams, as they both bring a wealth of knowledge in brand building and scaling consumer companies,” Woodard said in a statement. Her products can be found in over 300 stores including Wegmans and Whole Foods. The leadership team at MVP is excited to invest in Partake Foods. “Partake has the ingredients to build a mass market brand: compelling values, a great tasting product, and a tenacious and experienced operator,” said MVP co-founder Larry Marcus . News about Jay-Z’s investment comes shortly after it was announced that he was named hip hop’s first billionaire by Forbes. SEE ALSO: ‘Forgot About Dre’: Is Jay-Z Really Rap’s First Billionaire?
