Source: Jordan Naylor / Getty Lil Wayne ‘s Tha Carter V is dropping on his birthday – September 27th. The news comes after numerous websites erroneously believed that the long-awaited album would be dropping last Friday, though no one from Young Money or Wayne himself confirmed the news. So Friday morning at 12:01 AM, expect plenty of Wayneheads to be shedding tears of joy. RELATED: Lil Wayne Is Back To Mixtape Weezy On Swizz Beatz’ “P.O.M.S.” [VIDEO] Tha Carter V marks a bit of history for Wayne. It’s the first release of his that won’t have the Cash Money imprint on it as he and Birdman settled their years long court feud. Wayne believed he was owed millions in unpaid royalties from the label, one he had called home since he was a teenager. Tha Carter V was originally announced in 2014 but has been delayed and stuck in perpetual limbo ever since. Wayne has released projects in the interim including last year’s well-received Dedication 6 and D6: Reloaded along with the joint album Collegrove with 2 Chainz . Watch his announcement video below.
Back in June, MTV gave the green light for more episodes of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant . Now, the reality series is just weeks away from returning for Season 1b — and we already have a promo video. Pregnancy was only the prologue for these teens. Their struggles have only bgun. “Last season, five moms-to-be literally mommed up,” the narrator says, making a slightly awkward play on words. Like we mentioned, the new episodes are just weeks away. The voiceover continues: “Now, on Monday, October 15, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant is back.” “The babies have arrived,” the voice declares. Then we get a tease of the challenges to come. “But,” the voiceover asks. “How did these moms handle what comes next?” Obviously, some of these young mothers will handle things better than others. That's how life works — and that's what draws viewers to the show. The voiceover repeats: ” Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant returns with all new episodes on Monday, October 15 on MTV.” They really don't want people to miss the premiere date, folks. The returning stars are Lexi Tatman, Ashley Jones, Jade Cline, Kayla Sessler, and Brianna Jaramillo. Obviously, since they're moms now, we'll also see their babies again: Tobias, Holly, Kloie, Izaiah, and Braeson. Viewers expect to see a number of things this season, as Starcasm predicts. For one thing, Kayla finally breaking up with Stephan. Will Jade and Sean confirm that they're back together, as rumor suggests, or will viewers instead see confirmation that they're over? Then there's Lexi and Kyler trying their best to make this work and of course Brianna gettled settled in Oregon. And then there's Ashley, easily one of the most memorable and controversial figures we've seen on Teen Mom . Remember that video of her slapping herself beofre accusing Bar of being violent towards her? Her encounters with Bar's mother, Shen, eventually drove Shen to quit the series … again. Ashley joined the ever-growing ranks of reality stars who have feuded with Briana DeJesus even though they're not even on the same show (and yes, it was over Javi Marroquin). She also declared on Twitter that people should do their own research into whether the Earth is flat — because she believes that the government and textbooks have warped people's minds. Ashley tried to roast people, saying that they thought she was a “dumb b–ch” for her statement. But … nobody's disputing her self-characterization, there. Speaking of Ashley, Bar's life has only been somewhat less dramatic. He got arrested again. Then there's the appeal for his brother Troy's murder conviction. Bar's foster sister was shot. On a lighter (and, joking aside, considerably less upsetting) note, Bar released his new rap song. We do not know if, uh, that will be featured on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant . But we'll all find out together in less than three weeks.

On Sunday (Sep. 23) the former first overall pick of the 2004 Chappelle Show Racial Draft finally took home a W when he ended the final day of play with a -11 under 269 in the TOUR Championship which was good enough to earn him his first tournament dub since 2013 and 80th career PGA TOUR win. The scene is insane out at East Lake. pic.twitter.com/cr6F5rCf1J — Skratch (@Skratch) September 23, 2018 It’s been a long road back to relevancy for Tiger as the last few years of his life has been marred with health issues, DUI ‘s, surgeries, and worst of all, caping for Donald Trump . Now that Tiger’s finally back in the winning column his lifelong fans are hoping the second act of Tiger Woods’ legend is coming to fruition. Don’t get it twisted though, Tiger’s still canceled as far as the culture goes. Them uppity folks that view golf the same way we view ball can celebrate this man’s legacy like a phoenix rising out of the ashes all they want, but we’ll never forget how far down Mac Daddy Santa fell into the sunken place and all the f*ckery he did to get down there. — Photo: WENN.com

A new set of celebrities (yes, ABC is still rolling with that term for these people!) hit the floor Monday night as Dancing with the Stars Season 27 got underway. This is usually the point we talk about which of the celebrities are notable, but it’s difficult to do that when the show has such a random bunch who probably should not have made the cut. But they did. Let’s break down the performances on the season premiere to find out which members of the cast actually stand a chance at winning. Mary Lou Retton and Sasha Farber We liked Retton’s chances heading into the season because of her stint in the Olympics. Athletes are more flexible than most, and cutting some shapes on the dance floor is the name of the game on this series. They dance the Cha Cha to “Treasure,” and there were some glaring issues. It could be a case of it being the first performance, but she will need to loosen up if she wants to remain in the game. Len Goodman did say she was “pretty nifty for fifty,” so there’s that. Judges’ Score: 19/30 Milo Manheim and Witney Carson We had no idea who the heck Milo was when the cast was revealed, but after one episode, we’re sure he’s going to make it very far. The Disney star performed the Cha Cha to “Free Free Free,” and there was instant chemistry between him and Witney. There was some criticism, but most of that stemmed from him moving around at a breakneck pace. It turns out these judges want him to straighten his legs a little bit more. Okay then. Judges’ Score: 20/30 Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Evanna was memorable as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies, and if she manages to battle the nerves, she could carve out a dancing career. She was fast and tried any of the routines set out for her which is no easy task. She was rejected from dance college and is now looking to dance her way to victory. She and Keo danced the foxtrot to “Do You Believe in Magic.” It’s unclear whether Evanna does actually believe in magic. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Danelle Umstead and Artem Chigvintsev Danelle danced the foxtrot to “Rise Up” with Artem. Despite being completely blind, she aced the number. The judges seemed to think so as well, calling the duo’s bond “magical.” Judges Score: 18/30 Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess This radio personality went with a jive to “T-R-O-U-B-L-E,” and it was a surprisingly fresh performance. Granted, there were some issues, but for the most part, it was solid. Judges’ Score: 20/30 Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke Did anyone actually think this Fuller House actor was going to be bad? The moment he appeared on the dance floor with Cheryl and danced a salsa to “Dinero,” it was evident he was one to watch. Len even went as far as calling him “the hunk with the junk in the trunk.” Judges’ Score: 22/30 Nikki Glaser and Gleb Savchenko This was one of the more frustrating performances on the night. The comedian went with a salsa to “Yes,” but it was far too rusty. It felt like an early rehearsal, and the judges pointed that out through their critiques. Judges’ Score: 17/30 Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten Was this the biggest surprise of the night? Model, Alexis Ren who we had never heard of before her casting strutted her stuff in a poignant jive to “Good Golly Miss Molly.” She dedicated the performance to her late mother, and the judges were shocked by her dancing ability. Judges’ Score: 21/30 John Schneider and Emma Slater At one point, John Schneider was very famous. Somewhere along the way, he disappeared out of the public eye. He returned on Monday night with a solid foxtrot to “Good Ol’ Boys from Dukes of Hazzard.” We’re struggling to conclude whether the song choice was smart or desperate. The judges were divided on whether there was something there, but we’ll need to stay tuned to find out if he dances to the Smallville theme tune next. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Tinashe and Brandon Armstrong Tinasha is the only member of the cast who is still semi-relevant. It makes sense then that she would prove why she was still relevant with her dance routine. Her jive to “I’m a Lady” oozed elegance and was filled with showstopping moments. Do we already have our winner? Judges’ Score: 23/30 Nancy McKeon and Val Chmerkovskiy This The Facts of Life star turned in a surprisingly solid quickstep to “It Don’t Mean a Thing,” and the judges had a mixed response to it. She was by no means the best or the worst performer of the night, but there’s potential. Judges’ Score: 18/30 Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile and Jenna Johnson We still have no idea why Joe is part of the cast, but he kept a smile on his face while performing the quickstep to “Fish Out of Water,” and it was a resounding failure. Will he self-evict or will he be headed home Tuesday night? Judges’ Score: 14/30 DeMarcus Ware and Lindsay Arnold This former NFL pro closed out the season premiere with an awesome cha-cha to “Sweet Sensation.” All three judges were enamored with his ability. Judges’ Score: 23/30. What are your thoughts on the performances? Who should go? Dancing with Stars continues tonight at 8/7c on ABC. View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: The Odds are Out!

We’re very sorry, Chris Harrison. But we’re calling you out already. The next time you say that viewers are in for THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY, you will be lying. Yes, we can say this with authority right now. Because THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY has already happened. The Vietnamese version of this long-running hit reality series has gone viral across the entire universe because a pair of contestants – Minh Thu and Truc Nhu – recently decided they did not want to pursue a relationship with star Nguyen Quoc Trung. Why? Because they had already found love… with each other! “I went into this competition to find love,” Thu said to Trung during the aforementioned, mind-boggling, stunning rose ceremony. She then explained/teased: “I’ve found that love for myself, but it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else.” And it was someone else Trung knew well. Upon making her admission, a clearly emotional Thu walked over to Nhu and gave her a long hug, much to the total and complete surprise of the other contestants. “Come home with me,” Thu said more than once to Nhu, who later approached Trung and said the following: “I’m sorry. I really wanted to get to know you because you’re someone who made me feel special and I haven’t felt that way in a long time.” The Bachelor was taken aback, according to those who watched this episode (it’s still sitting on our DVR), but managed to respond: “I want to ask: If you decide this, would you feel regretful? This doesn’t change my decision. I’m not going to give this rose to anyone else. You only get one chance in this life, and you need to take it. Only you, not anyone else. “I want to let you know that I think you’ll have regret if you continue with what you are about to say.” This plea, however, fell on deaf ears. Or, to be more accurate perhaps, it fell on a heart that already been captured by a fellow contestant. “I know you’ll find someone who really loves you, who understands you, who knows how to take care of you, who can look at you from afar and know how you’re feeling,” she told him. “I’m sorry.” The two women then walked out of the ceremony together. UPDATE : Wait! The Asian news website NextShark now reports that Nhu chose to come back to the show after another conversation with Trung. She reportedly said: “I’ve changed my mind to accept this rose and continue this journey.” Okay, well. That certainly makes this story a tad bit less interesting. But it doesn’t change the drama of the rose ceremony itself! View Slideshow: The Bachelor Secrets Exposed: Affairs, Herpes & More!
Remember when Megyn Kelly introduced herself to NBC viewers by saying she would not discuss politics as the host of Megyn Kelly Today? Hmmm… perhaps we ought to back up a bit and first ask instead: Remember Megyn Kelly?!? The former Fox News anchor made headlines on a near-daily basis back during her time as a host on that network. She even hosted a debate between Donald Trump and the pathetic politicians he managed to beat out for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016! Kelly was a relevant member of the press, that's our point here. Then, she left Fox News for NBC… stirred up quite a bit of controversy with her arrival … landed her own hour on The Today Show… and tried to become a Kelly Ripa-like television presence. Kelly was suddenly all nice and normal and tried to be the woman next door who just has a few kids and a husband at home and who wants to gab about the latest fashion trends, as opposed to the latest political happenings. Then her ratings tanked. Then she interview Alex Jones (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!). And now she's irrelevant. This brings us to Monday morning and Kelly's return to the political arena, as she hosted a round table discussion with NBC's Hallie Jackson, PBS' Amy Holmes and Rolling Stone contributing editor Joe Levy. The topic at hand? Embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the multiple accusations of sexual misconduct that have been made against him over the past several days. “What a mess, that's a clean version of what I was thinking in my head,” Kelly said at the top of the conversation, later making it clear that she's on Team Kavanaugh and adding she has no idea why Democrats would push for the FBI to investigate the aforementioned allegations. “[The FBI's] not a super-secret special police force to investigate super-secret really bad things the nominee may have done. That's why we have congressional investigators,” she said. “The Republicans actually are investigating the Christine Blasey Ford allegations and the Democrats have refused to do so! “They're standing there in protest saying the FBI needs to do it, which doesn't really help us.” Two quick things here: Isn't the FBI precisely a special type of police force whose mission is to get to the bottom of confusing and complicated cases of national importance? The FBI did investigate Anita Hill's claims in 1991 than then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas sexually harassed her. Later in this segment, Kelly cuts off a panelist and emphasizes: “He's saying he didn’t do it. He's not saying that those allegations against him amount to nothing if he did! He's saying he didn’t do it!” Oh, well, that changes everything. If Kavanaugh is saying he didn't do something… why is this even a debate? Watch the heated exchange now!
J. Merritt/Getty Images for GLAAD Halle Berry & Lena Waithe EPing BET’s “Boomerang” Sequel Yes, the rumors are true; there’s a “Boomerang” reboot on the way. According to Deadline , Halle Berry and Lena Waithe will be executive producers on a 10-episode half-hour BET Networks and Paramount Television produced series. The show will be out next year and according to Lena will be more of a “sequel” than a remake. Deadline adds that it will focus on the modern-day offspring of Halle Berry and Eddie Murphy’s characters with Ben Cory Jones working as showrunner. “I’m thrilled to team up with Lena on this project as she is without a doubt a leading voice of her generation and a trail blazer in her own right,” said Halle Berry said in a statement Monday. “I’m truly excited to be a part of bringing this iconic and beloved film to the small screen.” Lena’s also assuring fans that she and Halle “won’t f*** it up.” We won’t . https://t.co/b1Di6fkBWa — Lena Waithe (@LenaWaithe) September 24, 2018 We trust her, Lena’s yet to mess up so there’s some real potential here with this show. Will YOU be watching the “Boomerang” sequel?
Image via Lester Lefkowitz/Getty Atlanta-Area Family Awarded $31 Million For Botched Circumcision Damn, this is NOT the way to enter the world. According to 11Alive , an unidentified Atlanta-area family living in Clayton County was awarded $31 million after suing the midwife, Life Cycle Pediatrics, Life Cycle OB/GYN for malpractice. The family’s newborn baby, DJ, was circumcised by the shaky-handed midwife who cut him a bit too much which lead to much bleeding. Somehow those who worked at the medical facility believed the child only had a small cut that would heal. Because they didn’t immediately perform surgery on the baby, all parties involved were found responsible in some form and the jury returned with a multi-million dollar verdict. DJ was born in October of 2013 and will likely need several more surgeries as he grows up. Fellas, would you trade a proper peen for $31 million?
