Source: Christopher Polk / Getty While his whole camouflage ensemble was being crucified throughout Super Bowl night, the biggest offense by Justin Timberlake on Sunday was undoubtedly the treatment of his sneakers. The halftime performer uploaded a photo of him tying his laces while getting ready to hit the stage for his big night, and while many might not have seen anything wrong with it, everybody who knows anything about sneakers was completely turned off by the travesty they saw. Following Timberlake’s halftime performance, the first collaboration from the singer and Tinker Hatfield –who has designed many of the world’s most popular Nike sneakers throughout the year–was released on Nike’s SNKRS app. The Nike Air Jordan 3 JTH is now reselling for thousands of dollars online, but that doesn’t forgive what people were saying about JT’s poor Jordan etiquette. dat crease almost as bad as his treatment of janet https://t.co/pd50ucXbjg — Desus Nice (@desusnice) February 5, 2018 This why we not fuckin wit you @jtimberlake pic.twitter.com/ER2wdJsaLi — Theós (@_zensei) February 5, 2018 Normal person : Justin Timberlake’s voice is so good Me : * gets sad as I watch Justin Timberlake crease his jordan 3s — john (@Dat_dudejw) February 5, 2018 I ain't like what he did to them Jordans — Aneer (@Aneerinyourear) February 5, 2018 While his actual performance got some mixed reviews, pretty much everyone agrees that Justin Timberlake needs to take better care of his Jordans. So if you didn’t know it was a crime to crease your sneakers, consider this your warning.
On Sunday, we learned that Kylie Jenner has welcomed her baby girl . The unnamed daughter was born healthy on February 1st. Despite the wall of secrecy that surrounded Kylie during her pregnancy, she's now revealing everything in a new video of the family. In the video below, we see Kylie's growing baby bump, we see Kim's baby Chicago West , and the camera was still rolling in the hospital room when Kylie gave birth . This video shows so much. After nearly a year of secrecy, rumor, and speculation, it's a shock tor receive so much new material on Kylie Jenner's pregnancy journey all at once. Curiously, the video was either shot on actual film (if you can imagine) or captured normally and then put through a filter to make it appear like a home video from the 1990s. (We'll say one thing about filming things with actual film — no hacker's going to be able to access that ) Whatever the format, we're delighted to see this video. (The camera zooms in on little Chicago West, cradled in the arms of the still very pregnant Kylie Jenner) The video is primarily about Kylie, of course, but it does feature some other surprises. For example, Kim Kardashian's youngest daughter, born via surrogate. Here's a wider shot: Chicago West seems to be a peaceful, happy baby. (And so incredibly cute!!) And Kylie (still pregnant in this portion of the video) looks right at home holding her precious little neice. As you can see in the top photo, Dream Kardashian — who's still a baby herself — meets her cousin, Chicago. Cuteness beyond measure. But we see plenty of footage of Kylie Jenner's baby bump through most of the video. As hard as Kylie worked to keep things secret in public, she didn't mind showing it off to those she trusted. There were some really, truly unkind reports that described Kylie as “unable to stop eating” and ashamed of the weight that she gained during pregnancy. We can't disprove those reports any more than we can confirm them, but to me , she looks on the small side compared to plenty of pregnant bodies. She had nothing of which to be ashamed — and wouldn't have, even if her weight gain had been drastic. For months and months, we wondered how long Kylie would hide her body . Well, here she is, sharing actual footage of her bare baby bump from during her pregnancy. So no, glimpses for curious fans won't be limited to the oversized hoodies that she enjoys sporting. We've also wondered how long Kylie will hide her baby. Well … wonder no longer. That's not a full shot, but this image, from towards the end of the video, shows Kylie Jenner and a baby right after we actually hear her giving birth . The unnamed baby was born at 4:43 pm on Thursday, February 1st, 2018. The birth weight was 8 pounds, 9 ounces. We can only guess at Kylie Jenner's baby name , but she's shared a whole lot of herself and her family in this video. Enjoy what Kylie refers to as “a little glimpse of the last 9 months.”

The iconic singer confirmed the news on social media on Saturday. “To put to rest any speculation or rumors as to whether I will be performing at the Super Bowl tomorrow; I will not,” she wrote. “Thank you for your support and I do look forward to seeing you all very soon.” pic.twitter.com/W2ZsGkTFs2 — Janet Jackson (@JanetJackson) February 4, 2018 This news has us like… As we previously wrote , the last time the two performed together at a Super Bowl it spurred the infamous Nipplegate. Remember, back in 2004, at the end of hit song ‘Rock Your Body,’ Timberlake was supposed to pull off a part of Jackson’s costume to reveal her lacy bra, but instead her bare breast partially covered with a metal nipple pasty was exposed, sparking nationwide outrage. CBS made Janet issue a public apology for the moment saying, “My decision to change the Super Bowl performance was made after the final rehearsal. MTV, CBS, [and] the NFL had no knowledge of this whatsoever and unfortunately, the whole thing went wrong in the end. I am really sorry if I offended anyone, that was truly not my intention.” Even though she apologized, her invitation to present at the 2004 Grammys was rescinded while JT went on to win two trophies that night. Even worse: Apparently, Janet’s videos were blacklisted from MTV that happens to be owned by Viacom that also owns CBS. Janet’s career paid a huge price, while Justin got a slap on the wrist. Sigh… While Janet won’t get her justice when it comes to the Super Bowl, Black Twitter–thanks to film director Matthew Cherry — has named Feb. 4 as #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay to celebrate her greatness: When you get #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay trending the same day of Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl performance. pic.twitter.com/dy3WV7fIoQ — Matthew A.

Miley Cyrus is still posting backstage pictures from last Sunday’s Grammys for some reason, and in this latest round, here she is putting on a show in her dressing room before going on stage. Anyway, the good news is, it looks like Miley’s finally given up on that whole flower child / wholesome country girl act she was going for last year. Phew.
Appalachian State/North Carolina A&T Athletics Appalachian State Tennis Player Suspended Indefinitely After Being Put On Blast for Racist Behavior Sunday night John Wilson, senior class president at the historically black college North Carolina A&T took to Twitter to reveal that he had been the victim of racism during his tennis match against Spencer Brown, of Appalachian State. Wilson tweeted: “Hey #NCAT This is Spencer brown, a tennis player at Appalachian state. During our match today, along with other racist comments, Spencer told me, “At least I know my dad.” Their coach responded by saying, “.. we have a black guy on our team.” Black twitter, do ya thang.” Wilson’s tweet included a photo of Brown. Hey #NCAT this is Spencer brown, a tennis player at Appalachian state. During our match today, along with other racist comments, Spencer told me, “At least I know my dad.” Their coach responded by saying, “..we have a black guy on our team.” Black twitter, do ya thing. pic.twitter.com/ZRN61zCU2n — John Wilson IV (@jpheze) January 29, 2018 We’re not sure if Wilson got the response he expected from Black Twitter, but Appalachian State University responded, issuing a statement Monday saying Spencer Brown has been suspended indefinitely. Statement from App State Athletics: pic.twitter.com/pvDw3SveyV — App State Athletics (@appstatesports) January 29, 2018 After yesterday’s men’s tennis match, an Appalachian State student-athlete engaged in behavior that was derogatory and offensive. This student-athlete has been suspended indefinitely from the team, effective immediately, for violating the student-athlete discipline policy. We have reached out to #NCAT to convey our apologies on behalf of Appalachian Athletics and the university for the conduct of this member of the team. Do you think the suspension from the team is enough? Should he have been expelled from school as well?
A couple of years ago, Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott opened up about her miscarriage , confessing that she had struggled to move forward after such a tragic loss. Last year, she revealed wonderful news — she’s pregnant again! With twins, no less. Now, Hillary Scott has given birth, and she’s taken to social media to share the wonderful news with her fans and followers. No, Lady Antebellum didn’t take home yet another Grammy Award on Sunday. But that’s probably just fine for HIllary Scott, and not just because she already has three. No, Hillary Scott gave birth in the wee hours of Monday morning. She shared this joyous news with fans, who’ve known for a while that she and her husband, Chris Tyrell, are expecting their second and third children. She’s been using the #waitingonthetwins tag for a while on Instagram. While she hasn’t yet posted a photo of her twin daughters, she announced the birth with a photo: In the captions, Hillary wrote: “Our family is thankful and proud to announce the arrival of our precious baby girls.” That’s great news! “They were born in the early hours of January 29th, 2018.” Awwww! “And we can’t wait to share more about them in the days to come.” No photos yet and still no names, but it sounds like they have plans to share those details soon. Hillary Scott also writes: “Thank you to everyone who prayed and prayed for these little ladies, and thank you Lord for healthy babies. #twins” It’s always a relief to give birth to healthy babies, particularly when there are potential complications. (Twins come with twice the birthing risks, folks; some people had twins they never got to meet). For Hillary Scott and Chris Tyler, however, the relief must have been magnified. Because a few years ago, Hillary suffered a miscarriage. “This is something that is not talked about very often,” Hillary Scott said at the time. It’s true that there’s an awkward culture of silence around miscarriages. It may be that people just don’t know what to say. One minute, a couple is happily preparing for their family to be larger. The next … they aren’t. “I also feel that there’s this pressure that you’re supposed to be able to snap your fingers and continue to walk through life like it never happened.” Of course. Recovery is complicated, and everyone recovers from grief and loss at their own pace. In 2013, Hillary Scott gave birth to her first child . The couple’s daughter, Eisele Kaye, is currently 4-and-a-half years old (those halves count when you’re that young!). Though she was probably too young to really wrap her head around her mother’s miscarriage (though, sometimes, people don’t give children enough credit), she’ll be 5 this year, and is certainly old enough to be excited about being a big sister. Congratulations to Hillary and Chris and Eisele and to their two beautiful new additions to the household.
