Soulja Boy Apologizes For Chris Brown Feud After His Mom Gets Pissed

Soulja Boy … Tell ‘Em you’re sorry, said the rapper’s mother following the events of this week, and like any good son, he took her words to heart. We’re serious. Soulja apologized for “acting out” in a Twitter feud with Chris Brown after his recently hospitalized parent expressed disappointment. “I know she’s not proud of my actions and what I’ve been doing recently” Soulja Boy, 26, explained. “I wanna make music with Chris Brown.” “To all the media, to all the blogs, to all my homies from the hood that feel like I been on some hot boy s–t, I apologize. I’m back to the music.” Quite a reversal from 24 hours earlier. An epic Chris Brown-Soulja Boy feud broke out Monday night after the “Crank That” rapper liked an Instagram pic of Karrueche Tran. Karrueche dated Chris on and off for four years until 2015, and to say their romance was mercurial would be an understatement. So much so that it sparked this:  Chris Brown, Soulja Boy Threaten Each Other on Video “Chris brown just called me and said he wanna fight me,” Soulja Boy wrote on Twitter Monday before launching into a profane tirade. Accusing Chris of drug use, he wrote: “Aye @chrisbrown pull up n—a and I’ll knock yo Bitch A– out. P–sy a– n—a. Stop snorting so much coke n—a! FRUITS.” Fruits refers to the Fruit Town Pirus, a gang that Chris has long been associated with, though we’re told he is not an “initiated” member. Soulja bashed Chris for beating Rihanna, to which Brown later replied that “this s–t is beneath me” … but that he would f–k ya Boy up. Karrueche also spoke out in a since-deleted Instagram post: “This drama between the both of these two is so ridiculous it makes no sense.” Chris’ response to that? Pretty vile: The beef continued on Tuesday when Soulja Boy started an Instagram Live broadcast while walking around Compton with his friends. Chatting with his followers, the rapper initially appeared to get jumped by a man shouting “They say Soulja Boy ain’t from the hood.” However, another angle of the video surfaced and showed that Soulja did appear to get robbed, but threw his phone onto the ground. We got nothing, but his friend DJ Akademiks then shared a video of himself and his crew wielding guns and shouting, “F–k you, Chris Brown.” Brown’s crew had previously shared a similar, gun-toting video directed at Soulja, who alleged that Brown leaked his phone number online. You can’t make this stuff up. “That’s a bitch move I got his number but didn’t do that. He’s the definition of a F–K BOY,” Soulja tweeted. “Chris brown can never go to my hood.” “It’s been two years since he pulled up on my block. Facts. The best is yet to come. You’ll regret sleeping on me someday.” “Don’t trade respect for attention.” “Say what you feel. It’s not being rude, it’s called being real. Chris shouldn’t have call my phone crying about a girl that don’t want him.” “Now he gotta see these hands. Bitch ass n—a,” he continued, though the rapper’s mom apparently got through to him at that point. At least it would appear so … View Slideshow: 15 of the Craziest Celebrity Twitter Feuds EVER His Instagram account has been deleted; Brown has yet to respond to Soulja’s apology , though his most recent tweet changed the subject. Promising to stay positive, from now on, Chris is chilling with daughter Royalty , who he calls “THE ONLY LIGHT IN MY DARKNESS.” All’s well that ends well?

Hero Starts GoFundMe Page to Protect Betty White From 2016

If you’ve been anywhere near an Internet-capable device in the past six months, then you’ve surely heard the jokes about what a used-tampon-and broken-glass salad 2016 has been. In fact, we’ve officially reached the point at which jokes about how awful 2016 is have made the list of awful things about 2016. Of course, that’s not to say the criticism is unwarranted. Far from it. By any measure, this has been a horrendous trip around the sun, and we’re all worse off for having endured it. Obviously, one of the most apparent ways in which 2016 sucked out loud is the staggering number of celebrity deaths it bore witness to. Thousands took to social media to jokingly ask Santa for a moratorium on beloved entertainers dropping dead, but sure enough, 2016 just waved an admonishing Dikembe Mutumbo finger in our collective faces. On Christmas Day, George Michael died at 53 . Two days later, Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60. In case there was any doubt that this year was based on a treatment written by George R.R. Martin, Fisher’s mother, Debie Reynolds, died the next freakin’ day. All of this, of course, comes at the end of the year in which David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Merle Haggard, Alan Rickman, Harper Lee, and dozens of other artists, athletes and entertainers all shuffled off the mortal coil.  Thankfully – and remarkably – some of our most senior icons survived 2016. Queen Elizabeth II is still with us. Keith Richards still has a few years left on his contract with the devil. And Betty White is still kicking ass as she approaches her 95th birthday. Now, having witnessed the brutality of 2016 firsthand, one man is fighting to make sure that Betty stays golden for the remainder of this bloodbath of a year. Earlier this week, South Carolina resident Demetrios Hrysikos launched a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $2,000 to help him “protect” Betty from the ravages of 2016. Within 24 hours, he raised $2,900. Three days later, he’s raised $7,900. “If she’s OK with it, I will fly to where ever Betty White is and keep her safe till Jan 1 , 2017,” Hrysikos writes. Demetrios has allowed for the fact that Ms. White may not want “a strange Greek standing guard outside her door,” and has promised to donate all of the proceeds to the Spartansburg Little Theatre in the event that Betty declines his services. “2016 has taken so many great artists, and SLT helps support and nurture new budding talent in our town,” Hrysikos explains. “I’d like to think that Betty, Carrie [Fisher], and [David] Bowie would be happy with any proceeds going to that cause, which I assure you it will!”  Naturally, there have been some skeptics, with some going so far as to call the campaign a “scam.” View Slideshow: 2016 Celebrity Deaths: 21 Tributes to 21 Stars Eh. We understand the concern, but as long as the money winds up where Hrysikos has said it will, we have no problem with what he’s doing. Hell, anyone who’s able to find a silver lining in the noxious mushroom cloud that is 2016 has our full support.

Rockettes: FORCED to Perform at Donald Trump Inauguration?

There have been a lot of jokes about what a horrendous year 2016 has been (Don’t talk about it in the past tense yet, or it’ll grandmother and your favorite singer in one fiery head-on collision.), but we think much of the criticism has been unfair. After all, we already have reason to believe that 2017 will be much, much worse. We may not know exactly what unique horrors lie in store for us in the coming 12 months, but we do know we won’t make it three weeks before Putin’s puppet pops a figurative squat on the Capitol steps and wipes with the Constitution. Yes, whether you like it or not (statistically, you probably don’t) Donald Trump’s inauguration will take place on January 20. Usually, entertainers consider performing on Inauguration Day to be a incredible honor, but Team Trump has had difficulty securing any talent at all, much less the yuuuuge names that Trump would like to see on stage. Thus far, only three acts have been confirmed for the Donald’s Inauguration Day: The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which is surprising, considering how much Trump struggled against independent candidate Evan McMullin in Utah. Jackie Evancho, which is also surprising, considering that by finishing in second place on her season of America’s Got Talent, Evancho joins the rest of the world on Trump’s list of losers. And the Radio City Rockettes, who are the most surprising selection of all, as they’re basically being coerced into getting on stage to sport massive grins and get their kick-line on. A Rockette named Phoebe Price took to Instagram to express her displeasure with being forced to perform at the inauguration, and her plea for understanding has gone viral today:   “I usually don’t use social media to make a political stand but I feel overwhelmed with emotion,” Price writes. “Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the Presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed.” “The women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling,” “I am speaking for just myself but please know that after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts #notmypresident” An email that was sent from the Rockettes union to the performers went public today, and many have expressed shock over the group basically being informed that they have no choice but to take the stage: “Everyone is entitled to her own political beliefs, but there is no room for this in the workplace,” the email reads. “If you are not full time, you do not have to sign up to do this work. If you are full time, you are obligated.” The women are further informed that any “boycott” of the event will be considered “invalid.” Trump, meanwhile, has been tweeting about how many celebrities are clamoring to be invited to the event – without naming any names, of course: “The so-called ‘A’ list celebrities are all wanting tixs to the inauguration, but look what they did for Hillary, NOTHING,” Trump tweeted. “I want the PEOPLE!” the President-elect tweeted this morning. Chrissy Teigen and many other celebs have already taken to social media to inform the rest of the world that Trump is completely full of it , but you knew that already.

Watch Your Head: Women Sue L’Oreal For Causing Perm-Burns That Scalded Them Bald

Yikes… Women File Class Action Suit Against L’Oreal Over Relaxer Hair Loss A group of women have come forward with a $5 million lawsuit against L’Oreal, alleging that the company sold them a product that burned their scalps so severely that they’ve been left with bald patches. According to TMZ , the company is accused of packaging a celebrity-backed product called SoftSheen-Carson Optimum Amla Legend No-Mix, No-Lye Relaxer, stating that it actually protects scalp and skin while providing desired results. But taking a look at these pics: We’re doubting this is the look these poor women were going for. L’Oréal shot back at the women’s lawyers, stating that the product’s packaging warns of scalp burns and hair loss being a potential danger, and provides instruction for safe application. However, the plaintiff’s firm says it’s crazy to blame the women disfigured by their perm product and want the relaxer pulled from shelves. Let’s just take a look at what celeb endorsed this scalp-snatching concoction… = Oh no, Cynthia! Well hopefully these women don’t come for her wig as well. Ladies, let this serve as yet another warning…you need to be CAREFUL putting these chemicals on your head! If you’re going to do the perm thing regardless, PLEASE go to a professional …not your kitchen. TMZ/PRNewsFoto/SoftSheen-Carson Laboratories

Retraction: Kim Kardashian is Not Involved With Marquette King

Earlier today, The Hollywood Gossip published an article claiming that there is reason to believe that  Kim Kardashian is romantically involved with Marquette King , a punter for the Oakland Raiders. There is no factual basis to this claim. We regret the error, and we would like to issue our sincerest apologies to Mrs. Kardashian West, her husband, Mr. Kanye West, and to Mr. King. The speculation in the article was based on information that previously appeared on The Inquisitr, Terez Owens, and Hollywood Life. Those sites have since retracted their reports, and it is now incumbent upon THG to follow suit. We regret any harm we may have caused in reporting on this unsubstantiated rumor, and we hope that this retraction will help to stanch the flow of misinformation that might be detrimental to any parties involved. We would like to reiterate that there is no reason to believe that Mrs. Kardashian West is any romantically involved with Mr. King or has ever been unfaithful to Mr. West. While the word “Gossip” is in our name, we at THG pride ourselves on bringing you the most up-to-date and accurate celebrity news available. However, the nature of online media in 2016 means that we occasionally fall victim to inaccurate or unfounded reports. We feel that on those occasions, it is our obligation to both our readers and to the parties about whom we are reporting to accept responsibility and clarify the matter to the best of our ability. We hope that Mrs. Kardashian West, Mr. West, Mr. King, and anyone who feels they were misled by this morning’s report will accept our sincerest apology. We would also like to take this opportunity to renew our commitment to identifying facts as facts and rumors as rumors. The events of the past few months have reminded us all of the crucial role played by members of the media with regard to the presentation of information to large audiences. Whether we’re reporting on a frivolous matter for entertainment purposes, or an important issue that deserves your full attention, it is our goal to make our readers feel that they have no reason to question the accuracy of the facts they find on THG. We hope today’s error has not caused you to lose trust in our ability to achieve that goal.

Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 6 Recap: Pride Above All

Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 6 was all about pride, in the best possible way in the wake of a national tragedy from this spring. Watch Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 6 Online After terrorism struck the Florida gay community in the form of Omar Mateen , West Hollywood’s pride parade took on even more meaning. Her goal was bringing the community together; Tom and Ariana, meanwhile, struggled to stay together after the worst fight of their relationship. Elsewhere, Stassi planned a birthday trip to Montauk and James began to doubt his friendship with Lala for reasons that aren’t shocking. If you watch Vanderpump Rules online , well, let’s just say that Lala, for all her positive attributes, can play fast and loose with the truth. More than anything, though, this week was about pride. Lisa Vanderpump rode on a float during Pride Day, feeling that it was necessary to bring the community together after such a tragedy. The staff, however, didn’t have quite as much courage. Upon hearing the news of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando , Katie Maloney opted out of working at SUR on this special occasion. That isn’t to say the events didn’t impact her greatly. On the contrary. She met with Tom Sandoval, Tom Schwartz and Stassi Schroeder at her apartment, where they discussed the terrorism. There were a lot of tears and raw emotions. Tom Sandoval seemed to be the most shaken up, but following their discussion and impromptu group therapy session, he went to work. If you don’t do that, then they win, right? Unfortunately for Tom, this wasn’t the only mental battle he fought this week, as his jealousy over Ariana‘s new bartending book was palpable. This caused one the most surprising – and biggest – fights we’ve ever seen from a couple we love and who is by all accounts so stable. The gist of the couple’s conflict is this: View Slideshow: Lala Kent: Best Instagram Pics of Vanderpump Rules’ Newest Star Ariana was offered a deal to make a bartending book; Tom wanted to be involved; Ariana basically called him out for craving attention. A huge and bitter argument ensued.  Thanks to Lala Kent, who played the unlikely role of mediator here, the couple was able to work it out and move forward. Thank goodness. As for Lala, she had her own issues, however. James got frustrated over the fact that Lala’s stories about her rich boyfriend to whom Lala gives good dome are constantly changing. How did she react to the intense scrutiny? View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs Finally, Stassi started planning her birthday trip to Montauk, which is on Long Island and which Scheana Marie did not know existed. We suppose it’s not that surprising that Scheana had never heard of it … what would be more shocking is if anyone actually attended. Because … it’s Stassi. Her birthday party seems like it would be one of the most miserable things in human history, though who knows.  Anyway, that’s that! Watch it all above!
