It was nothing short of brilliant, poignant, and necessary. Press play below to see what they had to say. F**k Donald Trump.

You know what sucks? Watching a TV show … only for your favorite character to get an unfulfilling conclusion. These 13 shows ruined the exit storylines for all of the below characters. We will never forget the way things panned out for them. We will never, EVER forgive them. 1. Daenerys Targaryen – Game of Thrones Daenerys went from being the breaker of chains to a tyrant who killed thousands of civilians in the battle of King’s Landing. She was subsequently murdered by her nephew/lover, Jon Snow. It was awful. 2. Lexa – The 100 Lexa was one of The 100’s best characters, and she was killed off thanks to a stray bullet during the show’s third season. This shocking development came as her relationship with Clarke was blossoming. It was a direction to take things, and it paved the way for many fans to boycott the show. 3. Roseanne Conner – Roseanne Roseanne Barr may have paved the way for her show to be canceled, but the spin-off which launched in the aftermath chose to kill the character off following a lethal drug overdose. It was not only too serious for such a lighthearted comedy, but it felt like a copout. 4. Maggie Green – The Walking Dead Lauren Cohan decided against renewing her contract as a series regular for The Walking Dead Season 9. As a result, the character of Maggie was written out of the series early into the season, but it was an off-screen departure. She took her son with the aim of helping emerging communities realize their full potential. There was no emotion attached to the exit because it happened off-screen. 5. Martin Riggs – Lethal Weapon Clayne Crawford was ousted from the series after two seasons following allegations of bad behavior. His character, Martin Riggs was fatally shot in a graveyard, and the show was never the same. It was canceled just one year later. 6. Madison Clark – Fear the Walking Dead Madison was ominously missing from the present timeline during the first half of Fear the Walking Dead Season 4, leading to many fans speculating that the lead character had died. This was confirmed in the midseason finale, which revealed that Madison sacrificed her own life for the good of the many. It was a terrible way for the lead character to go. A fan site even closed down for good because they decided the show was no longer the same for them. View Slideshow
If you follow Kylie Jenner on Instagram, then you are well aware that she is on yet another boujie vacay with her friends. And that her nude photoshoots from the trip have been getting all the attention. Some of that attention, however, has not been so gracious. After a week of Kylie posting the most seductive photos from her tropical trip to Turks and Caicos, an Instagram influencer whose name is Amanda Ensing was not a fan. Ensing quickly took to the comment section to drag on one of Kylie’s photos which showed her celebrating her new Kylie Skin collection. “Vacation Mode,” Jenner captioned the post, as seen below. The cute pic showed the reality star sitting on the ledge of a pool wearing nothing but a giant straw hat that covered her face. She used her hands and legs to cover up, of course, so the 21-year-old mom wasn’t completely exposed! While most followers commented uplifting and kind messages, saying how stunning she looked, Amanda decided to diss the young billionaire instead. Because haters gonna hate… “This photo looks awfully familiar,” Ensing stated in reference to her June 17th post. Below is Ensing’s pose… (which ok is pretty similar, even down to the anklet, but who cares?!) And while Kylie is usually one to ignore rude comments, because she has way more important things to do with her life, she couldn’t let that diss slide. “From the words of Kim K, ur not on my mood board but I did get my inspo off Pinterest,” she fired back. Shut. Down. Let’s all take a moment to slip this clapback safely into our pockets… that’s quality stuff right there. This isn’t the first time Kylie has felt the need to defend herself and set the record straight though. Earlier this summer Alex Rodriguez also came in hot with a stab at the businesswoman . “Kylie was talking about Instagram and her lipstick, and how rich she is,” the former MLB player said of Kylie at the 2019 Met Gala. Kylie, however, remembered their conversation much differently. “Umm no i didn’t,” the reality TV star fired back on Twitter. “We only spoke about Game of Thrones.” Rodriguez replied, obviously trying to fix things with the young Kardashian sister. “OMG that’s right @ KylieJenner. It was me talking about you and your makeup line and how much my girls love you.” Awkward… As for Kylie’s most recent beach getaway, close friends including Scott Disick’s GF Sofia Richie , Draya Michele, Stassi Karanikolaou and baby Stormi Webster were all in attendance. “Let the adventures begin!! #KylieSkinSummerTrip,” the E! star shared to Instagram earlier this week. “Hello Paradise!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Officially Named Youngest Self-Made Billionaire of All-Time

Megan Thee Stallion and iconic music video director Hype Williams are teaming up to bring the hotties cinematic heat. The “Realer” rapper is showing no signs of taking her cowboy boot off summer’s neck. Yesterday, Megan The Stallion dropped the teaser for her ‘Fever: Thee Movie’ which was directed by the widescreen king Hype Williams. The 25-second clip gives fans a taste of what to expect from the X-rated film which seems to take its cues from 70’s blaxploitation movies is full of cameos from the likes of the Da Baby — who linked up with Meg on her next single “Cash Sh*t” — off her album Fever, Juicy J and more. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Megan Thee Stallion moment if there aren’t any booties and twerking involved for the hotties to enjoy. View this post on Instagram Megan Thee Stallion X Hype Williams FEVER thee MOVIE coming soon A post shared by Hot Girl Meg (@theestallion) on Jul 14, 2019 at 4:38pm PDT Consider our senses tantalized. While no date has been revealed, Meg promises the movie is “coming soon.” Thee Stallion is having a great summer, she was named to XXL’s highly debated Freshman Class , hit Hot 97’s Summer Jam main stage, named Apple Music’s Up Next Artist and just recently made her network television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live . Megan’s list of accomplishments will only continue to grow. We are definitely looking forward to this movie though, it looks like nothing but the real hot girl sh*t we have come to expect from the Texas rapper. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

B2K, Chingy, Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd, Mario, Pretty Ricky, and Bobby V will all be in the building on August 4 ready to hit Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. Drake himself is currently the only act scheduled for August 5, but given the 8 year history of OVO Fest, it would be pretty surprising if the rapper didn’t bring out a few special guests for his set. In addition to the music festival, OVO Summit will take place August 1-2, while OVO Bounce goes down July 29 to August 2.

While speaking to attendees of the event, Drizzy invited the whole team to participate in the fest this summer. “I hope that all these guys will join me this year because we’re bringing OVO Fest back, so I hope we can go crazy,” he said at the time, confirming those rumors that the fest would be returning after its yearlong hiatus. . @drake announces #OVOFest is making a comeback #WeTheNorthDay | @Raptors pic.twitter.com/cJenpbrbWi — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) June 17, 2019 Tickets for OVO Fest are set to go on sale this Friday, July 12.
Amber Portwood was arrested on July 5 for felony domestic assault . But the worst may still be to come for the veteran Teen Mom OG cast member. Four days after the incident that led to this arrest, in which Amber reportedly hit boyfriend Andrew Glennon with a shoe while he was cradling their one-year old son… Glennon has filed for custody of little James. For FULL custody, that is. This is the first step in what ought to be a long, painful and likely very ugly legal battle between Amber and Andrew, who have been dating for nearly two years now. As we await word in response from Portwood, scroll down for the latest on this unfortunate situation… 1. Let’s Set Amber’s Parental Scene She has two children, a 10-year old daughter named Leah with ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley and a one-year old named James with Andrew Glennon. 2. Who Has Custody of Leah? Shirley has full custody of the 10-year old. He and Amber split many years ago and are now on solid terms, with Gary even Tweeting his best wishes to his ex after her arrest on July 5. 3. This is What He Wrote: 4. As for James? He was born in May of 2018 to Amber and Andrew. The baby lives in Indiana with the couple — and he sadly was right in the middle of what led to her arrest last week. 5. Can We Go Over What Happened? Yes. According to Indiana records, Glennon texted 911 at 2:14 a.m. on Friday, July 5. This is what his text read: “I need help. My life and my son’s life is in danger.” 6. Okay. So Then Police Arrived on the Scene… … and, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Ryan Salisbury, they were told that an argument between Amber and Andrew commenced around 2 a.m. View Slideshow
2018 was a crazy roller coaster ride for Ariana Grande. She hit some extremely low points after she and Pete Davidson began dating, got engaged and broke up all within the span of about six months. And then again when she had to deal with the tragic loss of her ex-boyfriend and beloved rapper Mac Miler who passed away after an accidental drug overdose . But they say you can’t appreciate the good days until you have had some bad ones, and Ari definitely faced numerous difficult days. And with her losses came major gains. In February of this year, Ariana was taking over the charts. Literally, it felt like she was releasing a new banger every other day. Thanks to her whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson, her latest album Thank U, Next was born. And thanks to music Ari was able to find a bit of peace following Miller’s death. In her new cover interview with Vogue , Grande opens up about the making of her album along with growing up and dealing with grief. The Sweetener songstress started by revealing that her friends had actually convinced her to move to New York City from Los Angeles for the summer of 2018. “My friends were like, ‘Come! We’re gonna have a fun summer,'” she recalled. “And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction.” “It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic,” she said. “And I loved him. And I didn’t know him.” Ari then went on to explain how she isn’t good at real life — we all get it, adulting is hard. “I’m like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist,” she added. “I still don’t trust myself with the life stuff.” Grande ultimately released her hit breakup anthem “Thank U, Next” which graciously called out exes including Davidson, Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez and yes, Mac Miller. The song was released during the period in which it was made, which is one of the first times she had been single in a while. “I think that this is the first album and also the first year of my life where I’m realizing that I can no longer put off spending time with myself, just as me,” she explained. “I’ve been boo’d up my entire adult life.” “I’ve always had someone to say goodnight to. So “thank u, next” was this moment of self-realization,” she continued. “It was this scary moment of ‘Wow, you have to face all this stuff now. No more distraction. You have to heal all this s–t.'” Not only was Ariana putting out music because she had fresh inspo from her break up with Pete , but also because the studio was her safe haven. Miller passed away in September 2018 and Ari and Pete split the next month, with both of those dramatic events taking place back to back, the 26-year-old admits she barely even remembers making the album. “My friends know how much solace music brings me, so I think it was an all-around, let’s get her there type situation,” she said. “But if I’m completely honest, I don’t remember those months of my life because I was (a) so drunk and (b) so sad.” “I don’t really remember how it sarted or how it finished, or how all of a sudden there were 10 songs on the board,” she recalled. And while the Florida native is for the most part extremely open with her fans, she still prefers to keep that part of her life private. “I’m a person who’s been through a lot and doens’t know what to say about any of it to myself, let alone the world,” she admitted to the outlet. “I see myself onstage as this perfectly polished, great-at-my-job entertainer, and then in situations like this I’m just this little basket-case puddle of figuring it out.” “I have to be the luckiest girl in the world, and the unlickiest, for sure,” she said She went on to explain how she is currently working on celebrating the good, rather than always fearing for the worse . “I’m walking this fine line between healing myself and not letting the things I’ve gone through be picked at before I’m ready,” she said. “And also celebrating the beautiful things that have happened in my life and not feeling scared that they will be taken away from me because trauma tells me that they will be.” “you know what I mean?” she adds. But while she is currently on tour, we feel for her. “I was researching healing and PTSD and talking to therapists, and everyone was like, ‘You need a routine, a schedule,'” she said. “Of course because I’m an extremist, I’m like, OK, I’ll go on tour!” “But it’s hard to sing songs that are about wounds that are so fresh,” she admitted. “It’s fun, it’s pop music, and I’m not trying to make it sound like anything that it’s not but these songs to me really do represent some heavy s–t.” While Ari still has many shows left on her Sweetener world tour, we send all the love and well wishes her way.
