Source: Wheatley/WENN / WENN We’ve all heard of Grandmas complaining about folks speeding down their streets while the grand babies play on the front lawn. Well this Montana grand mom took matters into her own hands to slow down traffic on her street. One day Patti Forest Baumgartner got fed up and grabbed her hair dryer and a lawn chair, took a seat on the curb in front of her house and pointed her hair dryer at on coming cars, pretending to take their speeds with a radar gun. )Oh we can’t forget the red solo cup and straw) We are sure whether Patti was able to slow down traffic, but her efforts do not go unnoticed. Do it for the babies Patti! ___ ___ The Latest Music, Celebrities and Interviews: Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Some may have assumed that their complicated relationship has reached a point of mutual respect, but it doesn’t appear that we’re there quite yet. Over the weekend, Drizzy popped up at a ‘Lil Keed’ show in Los Angeles, and his attire got the internet talking.

How will Yeezus respond? Will he? Should he? If I know Kanye West (I don’t know him at all… but if I did!) then I’d say we should expect to hear a response real, real soon.

Bryant is a very popular church in the city, but still had lines like they’ve never seen before.During service Kanye played a sort of Choir director, leading his singers in gospel remixes of many poplar R&B songs such as “So Anxious,” be Genuwine.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Fans Are NOT HAPPY With Homecoming ‘s Creative Arts Emmys Oversight When Beyoncé headlined Coachella in 2018, fans crowded around their laptops and made an event out of the livestream, live-tweeting about the concert and gushing over the insane dedication and production value put into the show. A year later, Netflix released Homecoming , a documentary which included that same iconic performance footage (compiled from both Coachella weekends) along with a behind-the-scenes look at just how much work went into making the whole thing happen. Fast forward to present day, Beyoncé’s concert film was nominated for six Emmys: outstanding variety special, outstanding costumes for variety, non-fiction or reality programming; outstanding directing for a variety special; outstanding music direction; outstanding production design for a variety special and outstanding writing for a variety special. Somehow, at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 14, Homecoming came up completely empty-handed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Apr 15, 2018 at 12:47am PDT Though not getting recognized in general has a lot of Beyoncé fans upset, even more upsetting is what Homecoming was beat by. Though the documentary was nominated and snubbed in several categories, the one oversight that’s gaining attention is “Best Variety Special,” where Bey’s concert special lost to James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke special with Paul McCartney, When Corden Met McCartney. Corden’s series also won in several other categories including “Best Technical Direction/Camerawork/Video Control” and “Best Short Form Variety Series.” If you’re not familiar with Carpool Karaoke, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Late night host James Corden drives around with different celebrities while they sing along to songs together. That’s it. And that’s the series that won multiple awards while Beyonce and her Homecoming crew went home empty-handed (metaphorically, because Beyoncé didn’t actually show up to the award show…obviously). For a series that has the same production value as Cash Cab , fans are outraged that Carpool Karaoke went home with awards for camerawork and other accolades while Homecoming was completely snubbed. In what world would someone whose seen a Beyoncé performance and some karaoke ever pick the karaoke?! To say this weird Emmys outcome has caused some outrage online would be an understatement. Here’s what fans had to say once news broke that James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke won over Beyoncé’s masterful Coachella performance portrayed in Homecoming : Award shows are a fucking joke. How does Carpool Karaoke win an #Emmy over Beyoncé's #Homecoming ? Yes, James Corden is entertaining, but he's not the first Black Woman to headline Coachella. — HOT NERD JAZZZ (@sasssyjazzzy) September 15, 2019 WAITTTT hold the mothafuckin phone.

At first, it looked like they were just two young, beautiful ships passing in the night. But these days, Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes are banging in “Pleasure Town.” By which we mean Dean’s van. Mostly. Unfortunately, their sweet romantic getaway may have sparked a feud between Dean and Caelynn’s ex, Connor. On Wednesday, Deanie Babies sat down with Nick Viall for an episode of the latter’s podcast, The Viall Files . Dean explains how he first nervously met Connor Saeli after their Bachelor in Paradise love triangle. “I was like, ‘Hey, man. It’s nice to meet you,” he says. Dean even complimented him, saying: “You’re even more handsome in person [than] you are on television and from a distance.” “We didn’t really talk much,” the 28-year-old admits. “And then the reunion happened,” Dean recalls. “And he tried to talk s–t.” At the reunion, Connor had questions for Caelynn about why she had left Paradise with Dean. “Connor is this really incredibly good-looking dude,” Dean correctly acknowledges. “I was terrified.” “I was, like, building him up, and then after the show, I shook his hand,” Dean recalls. He continues: “And I was like, ‘Hey, it’s nice to officially, formally meet you.’” It’s always intimidating to meet your girl’s ex. Especially when he looks like Connor. Especially when he looks like Connor shirtless . “He leans over,” Dean narrates. “And he goes, ‘Nice to meet you too, man. I would really love to see the van sometime.'” “‘I’ve been thinking about doing the van life myself,'” he says that Connor told him. Dean shares: “And I go, ‘Bro, you can’t say that because you’ve been talking s–t about my van nonstop on the Bachelor in Paradise .’” Well … to be fair, a lot of people had a lot of opinions about Dean and his van this season. Personally, the van is fine — Dean’s doing okay. I’m just glad to see the mustache in the ashes of history where he belongs. That was not the end of it, if you can believe it. Dean relates to Nick that he slid into Connor’s DMs to wish him luck in the future. Standard politeness stuff. Well, apparently Connor once again brought up how much he envied the freedom of Deanie’s current lifestyle. “Are you jealous of it, or do you wanna talk s–t about it?” Dean asks rhetorically while recalling this exchange. Folks, it sounds like Dean’s van is a sore subject for him and he’s a little self-conscious. You can make fun of it if you want, but don’t expect him to fall in love with you if you do. Despite that clear point of contention, Dean says that he and Connor are “fine.” Dean is the one who ended up boning Caelynn into the sunset, so that’s probably a good alm to his ego. In fact, Dean says that he would “love” to help Connor get set up like he is and give him advice and generally show him the ropes. “You seem like a great guy. I wanna be friends,” Dean says. He then suggests: “Let’s be van buddies.” View Slideshow: Peter Weber as The Bachelor: A Nation Reacts!
