Blac Chyna: Cashing In On Dream Kardashian ALREADY?!

From the moment the world learned that  Blac Chyna was dating Rob Kardashian , it was rumored that the relationship was nothing more than an act of supreme gold-digging. The most cynical theorists maintained that Blac was after far more than just Rob’s money. Many believed both then and now that she was playing the long con – pursuing the wealth and fame that she could attain only by acquiring Rob’s iconic last name for herself. These days it’s hard to see the relationship as anything other than a semi-failed cash-grab executed by Blac. She even filed papers to change her name to Angela Kardashian , despite the fact that she and Rob never reached the point of setting a wedding date. But Blac hasn’t given up on her efforts to cash in on the Kard clan’s lucrative moniker. After all, she now has ties to the family that are more powerful than a marriage certificate. We’re talking, of course, about Blac and Rob’s daughter, Dream Kardashian. Dream is only four months old, but when you’re born to two parents who make their bucks off social media, you start earning from day one. According to a new report published by TMZ, Blac stopped by a government buikding in Los Angeles yesterday to ensure that both of her kids are legally allowed to start bringing in the bucks. It was initially thought that Blac went to the office to settle a legal beef. (She’s reportedly had problems with both of her baby daddies in recent weeks, and sources say Tyga is behind on child support payments.) But now the site’s sources are claiming that Blac was actually securing work permits Dream and 4-year-old King Cairo. Yes, at 4 months and 4 years old respectively, Blac’s kids can now legally be paid for on-camera appearances in the state of California. It may sound a bit icky, but it’s sort of a necessity. After all, they’ll almost certainly continue to make occasional appearances on Kardashian-related reality shows, and you can’t blame Blac for making sure her kids get paid.

That part is still super gross and weird.

Kailyn Lowry Baby Daddy Bombshell: Who is It NOT?

Kailyn Lowry might be ready to pop. But she still isn’t ready to reveal the name of the man who fathered her third child. Ever since the Teen Mom 2 star surprised fans via a blog entry that confirmed she was pregnant with yet another child, Internet users from coast to coast have asked the same thing… … WHO IS KAILYN LOWRY’S BABY DADDY ? To date, the candidates appear to be following individuals, with odds made up by The Hollywood Gossip in parenthesis: Tyler Hill (15-1). A former classmate of Lowry’s at Delaware State University, little is known about Hill, other than the fact that he was rumored to have slept with Lowry back when she was married to Javi Marroquin. According to his Instagram page, Tyler is an “aspiring actor/director/producer” and also a “college grad.” JC Cueva (10-1). A producer on Teen Mom 2, Cueva would absolutely be fired if Kailyn confirmed the two slept together, let alone that he knocked her up. This would explain why Lowry has been so silent on the topic. But Kailyn having the child of a Teen Mom 2 producer would simply be too good and too juicy to be true. We can’t let ourselves think this is really a possibilitiy. Chris Lopez (5-1). A source claims that Kailyn is expecting the baby of a long-time “friend,” and Lopez fits this bill. Fans grew suspicious of him as the baby daddy after Lopez Tweeted about his “miracle child. The Tweet has since been deleted, but not before Kailyn acknowledged the message via a “Favorite.” Now, though, a Twitter user named Traci Ansley has raised another option. She’s contacted Lowry to ask if some dude named “Cabrell” is responsible for the son or daughter growing in her womb? And Kailyn wasted no time in setting this record straight, replying as follows: Our research indicates that Cabrell is another student at Delaware State University, the same school from which Lowry is slated to graduate this coming May. She’ll probably give birth around this same time. Kailyn is yet to reveal her due date and says she’s waiting to find out the baby’s gender until he or she enters the world. But that doesn’t mean the reality star is remaining completely silent on the issue. Just yesterday, she shared a few sonogram photos on Instagram, writing as a caption how she “can’t wait” to be a mother again. At what point will we learn the identity of her latest baby daddy? It’s hard to say. We can rule out Jo Rivera, with whom Kailyn shares a seven-year old son named Isaac. And we can definitely rule out Marroquin, with whom Kailyn shares a three-year old son named Lincoln. “People are asking her daily, dying to find out the name of the daddy and the gender of the baby,” a source tells In Touch Weekly, adding: “She is simply not ready to share that information. The news will likely come out at some point, because the cameras will probably be rolling again soon.” View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide! Ah, yes. Cameras. So if you watch Teen Mom 2 online or on television, you’ll at least learn the baby daddy’s name at some point. We’ll do all we can to uncover this piece of information in the meantime, but at least we can take comfort in knowing the secret can’t remain secret forever.

Kids Interrupt Dad’s BBC Interview, Become Internet Sensations

As detailed earlier this week, when a young boy broke into a weather report in order to fart , it can be challenging to conduct live television with children in the vicinity. Just ask Robert Kelly. A political science professor at Pusan National University in South Korea, Kelly was sitting in his home office this week for a video interview with the BBC. As you can see in the outset of the footage below, the topic at hand was pretty darn serious. But it was hard for the BBC anchor and, eventually, Kelly to keep a straight face when the latter's adorable/enthusiastic toddler daughter busted into his office. From there, a baby waddled in via a walker, causing brief and total chaos for both Kelly and the reporter trying to ask him questions about global politics. After a few seconds, a frantic-looking woman (the nanny? We presume?) barged into the room to corral the kids out of their dad's office. She grabbed the toddler. She rolled the baby away. And the clip hilariously ends with her down on two knees, desperately closing the office door. The footage has gone viral, inspiring a number of memes and earning a lot of celebrity reaction as well. Tweeted Tom Hanks: “No Fake News here!” Joked Ben Stiller: “Whoever directed this should get a 3 picture deal.” Added Ike Barinholt: “I cannot stop watching this.” We think you'll feel the same way. Check it out below!

Bye Debra Lee! Hampton University’s President Is BIG Mad At BET’s ‘The Quad’

Fair or foul??? Dr. William R. Harvey Disapproves Of BET’s “The Quad” While some people are entranced by BET’s “The Quad” and its HBCU based storytelling, others think it’s an absolute disgrace, timed to shame historically black institutions during black history month. In particular, the President of a certain prominent historically black college is none too pleased with BET’s new show. Dr. William R. Harvey, the longstanding President of Virginia’s Hampton University , sent a scathing letter out to Debra Lee and BET for “The Quad”, the new series that depicts HBCU culture at “Georgia A&M University.” According to Harvey it’s a poor representation of historically black colleges because the drama centers around “unethical behavior” including sex and drugs and the fictitious school is driven almost solely by the band program. “Devoid of any reference to academics, The Quad is about a president who is promiscuous, trustees who are unwilling to deal with a rogue band director, and a band director who condones criminal activity on the part of his drum major.,” wrote Harvey according to HBCU Digest who obtained copies of the 3-page letter. “The Quad will lead many to believe that HBCUs exist because of their marching bands; that our presidents are unethical; that our boards are dysfunctional and have misplaced priorities; that our faculty, students and administrators are driven by sex, alcohol, marijuana, low self-esteem, parties and a preoccupation with music; that it is acceptable to disrespect women; that university policy can be set by a band director; and that there are no standards of conduct or penalties for bad behavior. Y I K E S. Doctor Harvey also went on to call it “fake news” and said that its February debut is especially offensive. “We cannot afford this kind of storytelling,” wrote Harvey. “It amounts to the type of ‘fake news’ that is prevalent today. You see, all that most people know about HBCUs is what they see on television. What I saw on BET February 1st was not accurate; rather, it was a bogus representation of very important and historic institutions.” Dr. Harvey is known for his strong opinions, he previously defended Talladega College for performing during Trump’s inauguration. Are YOU watching “The Quad”??? Do YOU think it’s a misrepresentation of HBCUs??? WENN

Here’s The Number One Reason White Americans Are So Much Richer Than Black Folks

The Reason For Racial Wealth Gap Pinpointed Apparently, doing all the right things” isn’t quite enough for Black folks to close the wealth gap between ourselves and whites …and it all boils down to one big factor. No it’s not hard work, higher education, or going into more lucrative fields. The bottom line is…inheritance. Many white people are simply born with a claim to substantial amounts of family money. According to Bloomberg , recent findings from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances suggest that the gap in wealth between white households and African American homes lands at $13 in net wealth in median white households for every $1 in net wealth of the median black household. However, the traditional methods of wealth accumulation do virtually nothing for Blacks to begin to close said gap. A study from researchers Brandeis University and public policy group Demos finds that neither attending college, raising children in a two-parent household, working full time, nor spending less does anything to the racial wealth gap. For instance, college attendance is one of the number one ways Black people seek to widen their earning potential. While it definitely helps us to earn more and thus accumulate more wealth, the median white adult attending college already has 7.2 times the wealth of the median black adult. The same goes for two-parent homes, full time employment, curbing spending, etc. — the average white person making the same exact moves already has more money. Another study from Duke University also shoots down the myth of African Americans being too-heavy spenders and over-consumers. At every income level, blacks actally spend less than similarly situated whites. DAMN…so if all this is getting us nowhere, then what is the answer?? CreativeCommons
