With three years removed since their last project, the pair are hard at work on a new album and enlisted producer Rick Rubin to put his finishing touches on their work. In a newsletter from the RTJ gang over the weekend, the crew announced their plans in working with Rubin with a promise that the new record will be better than their past works. From RTJ: Let’s start with the obvious… We’ve been going hard on RTJ4 and have a genuine excitement to share new music with you all. We stand behind our statement that this record is going to punch you in the f*cking face and burn everything in its path.

Stay tuned, we’ll have more RTJ4 news for you soon. The newsletter was accompanied by a photo of El-P and Rick Rubin doing the Run The Jewels hand symbol, which can be seen below.

Source: Thomas Trutschel / Getty After 18 long years of existence, Apple is finally getting rid of iTunes. Bloomberg reports the company is phasing out the tool that Mac users have utilized to help manage their music, watch movies, and TV shows. The decision to trash iTunes is on par with Apple’s new vision for its future when it comes to its gadgets. Now there will be separate apps for users to listen to music, watch movies and TV and listen to podcasts. You will still be able to manage your Apple gadget through the music app. The announcement of the move came on the heels of Apple’s upcoming WWDC where the company is expected to confirm the decision and announce how it plans to move going forward. Per Bloomberg : iTunes has been the way Apple users listen to music, watch movies and TV shows, hear podcasts, and manage their devices for almost two decades. This year, Apple is finally ready to move into a new era. The company is launching a trio of new apps for the Mac – Music, TV, and Podcasts – to replace iTunes. That matches Apple’s media app strategy on iPhones and iPads. Without iTunes, customers can manage their Apple gadgets through the Music app. Well if you were looking to blow the dust off your iTunes to help manage your new iPod Touch , then you won’t receive this news too well. 18 years is a long time for an app, so the app is rare air when it comes to outlasting the competition. iTunes had a hell of a run though, never forget. — Photo: Thomas Trutschel / Getty
Since ending their engagement in 2014, Future and Ciara have gone on to elevate themselves in two separate but equally impactful ways. While Pluto put together an unprecedented mixtape run that solidified his cultural status, Ciara built a relationship with Russell Wilson and continues to craft an impressive career in music. On the latest episode of Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk , the singer sat down with the matriarchs of the Pinkett-Smith family to explain the emotions that led to her split with Future, and how it helped her find the peace she feels today. Although Ciara doesn’t mention the rapper by name, at the episode’s 5:30 mark , she recounts the moment she realized it was time for her to leave Future.
Despite her beauty and grace and giving birth to a royal baby, Meghan Markle remains unpopular in certain circles in the UK, including the tabloids. The reason for which so many people are eager to attack her is no real mystery, but it seems that only Priyanka Chopra is willing to say it. The hate engine that constantly attacks Meghan? It’s fueled by racism. In an interview with The Sunday Times , Priyanka Chopra spoke about the absolute vitriol that has been directed at Meghan Markle. The most famous of Meghan’s haters, of course, are members of her own family. But even the media — especially British tabloids — have taken a hard line, blaming her for any and all societal ills. Priyanka understates that this cruel coverage is “really unfortunate.” “But,” she notes. “If there’s anyone who can handle it, it’s her.” When asked if she believes that the bizarre animosity is rooted in racism, Priyanka speaks the truth. “For sure, 100%,” Priyanka accurately replies. “Of course it has to do with racism.” So many people have tried to tiptoe around and avoid calling out famously racist British tabloids for their blatant racism. But not Priyanka. She explains that “it’s an obvious reason.” “But the beauty of Meg,” Priyanka praises. “Is that she’s been herself through all of this.” Priyanke then goes on to praise her friend’s authenticity — while also reminding the world that they were friends before Meghan was on any royal radar. “A lot of people got to know her after everything [once she started dating Harry],” Priyanka notes. “But I knew her before,” she adds. And she can confirm that Meghan has remained true to herself. Priyanka affirms: “She’s the same chick.” Some people allow this level of global megafame to change them. Meghan has not. “Now that she’s got a real platform,” Priyanka continues. “She talks about the same things she always did.” “We spent hours speaking about the difference that influence and dialogue can make to the world before this whole thing happened,” she says. “So what you see now,” Priyanka emphasizes. “Is authentically her.” “She’s always been the girl wanting to move the needle,” she praises. Priyanka is no stranger to global fame — or to moving the needle — herself. She starred in dozens of Bollywood films before most people in the United States new her name. And, like her friend Meghan, she recently married one of the most famously desirable men on the planet. (Real talk, Priyanka and Nick Jonas are both beautiful, talented, and head-over-heels in love with being famous — they’re a perfect match) It’s wonderful that Priyanka is in a place where she, as a fellow public figure, cna defend her friend against mindless hate. Some people will object to the characterization that much of the criticism of Meghan has been fueled by racism. Those folks are either lying to the world or to themselves. Meghan is a charming, beautiful, polite woman. She and Harry are madly in love and have already produced an heir. Prince William very probably cheated on his wife with a marchioness. The people inventing claims that Meghan is the source of tension between the royal brothers have no excuse. The only non-racist explanation for the hate is a blind resentment because she’s American. That’s better, but not by a whole lot. View Slideshow: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Share Never-Before-Seen Wedding Pics on 1-Year Anniversary
Kylie Jenner lived every parent’s worst nightmare over the weekend: Her child fell ill, and there was nothing Kylie could do about it. The 21-year old explained what happened in a lengthy and emotional Instagram Story post yesterday, frightening her followers at first but eventually reassuring them that little Stormi was okay.; “Blessed beyond words,” Jenner wrote at first, along with a snapshot of her backyard, adding mysteriously: “Thank you God. I believe in being a reflection of what you’d like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want success, wish success.” As you might expect, such a message left fans wondering what the heck might have happened to elicit such a response from the reality star, who never really invokes God or religion very often. Jenner then added a photo of a sleeping Stormi, writing along with it a caption explaining the traumatic ordeal mother and daughter experienced over the weekend. “Spent the day in the hospital with my baby. She had an allergic reaction but is 100% okay now and we are home,” she explained. “Nothing else matters when these things happen. God bless all the moms with sick babies. I’m sending so much love and positive energy your way. We’re so very glad Stormi is back at home now and, by the looks of her, resting comfortably and happily. This is the second time in two months that a Kardashian/Jenner young one has been hospitalised due to an allergic reaction. Back in late April, Kim’s son Saint West was rushed to the ER during a family vacation to Palm Springs. Thankfully, he, too, is doing just fine now. Jenenr, meanwhile, may or may not elope with Travis Scott at some point this summer. But she is definitely totally smitten with her 16-month old infant. “I always knew I wanted to be a young mother,” Jenner told Interview Germany in March, adding in more detail: “I remember people used to ask, ‘Are you ready for this?’ “And I always knew I was ready but you don’t know what that love and that feeling is like until after you have a child, but I feel like I was definitely made for this and she has changed my life for the better.” How would Kylie say she has changed overall as a result of delivering Stormi? “The way that I look at things is a lot more positive and I really feel like my life didn’t start until I had her,” she told this same magazine.

The rumors have been spreading for weeks. The chatter has been growing incessant. The blogs have been very busy. Amid this backdrop of talk about her split from fiance Christian Carino, Lady Gaga has finally broken her silence. The engagement ended and the break-up was confirmed way back in February. Neither half of the now-former couple has said much of anything in public since, however, which has only fueled the speculative fire around the Internet. “There’s no dramatic story,” an insider tried to tell People Magazine at the time — but no one wanted to buy this spin. Most gossip observers assumed the engagement simply had to end because Gaga and Bradley Cooper are clearly in love ; how else to explain their chemistry in A Star is Born? Then there were the stories that alleged Gaga grew sick of how often Carino sent her text messages . “He was jealous,” an insider previously told Us Weekly. “He was trying to find her all the time and texted her a lot. Her friends didn’t like him either.” This same source said in late winter that Gaga was the one who broke things off, emphasizing that Carino didn’t take it well. At. All. So… was there truth to this rumor? To the cheating allegations? To all those Cooper-Gaga romance articles? While performing her “Jazz & Piano” show as part of her residency in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, Gaga briefly addressed her split from ex-Carino when a song reminded her of when she was engaged. “Last time I sang this song, I had a ring on my finger, so it’ll be different this time,” the artist told those in attendance prior to delving into “Someone to Watch Over Me.” She then laughed and confirmed that she was, indeed, in love with Bradley Cooper and that she hoped to have, like, 9 of his babies. Just kidding. She only said the part we quoted above, which we guess isn’t really all that newsworthy in the end, huh? In reality, another source now claims, Gaga has been so busy of late with her career that she hasn’t really given much thought to the end of her engagement. She hasn’t really processed it just yet. “Gaga has been in such a focus on her career right now and has not even had time to address what has been happening between her and Christian, emotionally,” this Us Weekly insider explains, adding: “She has been telling those around her, ‘Let’s stay focused.’” This tabloid also writes that Gaga was initially “devastated” when the romance concluded, but that Carino had “infringed on her creative process” and she just couldn’t allow that to happen. More recently, someone in the know explained that Gaga had cut off communication from Carino. “She’s been hounded by Christian,” the mole says. “She told him not to contact her.”
Source: Getty Images / Morgan Freeman We’ve heard the running joke all our lives: Morgan Freeman was born old! As funny as that it, there’s actually very little evidence to prove the contrary. There’s a whole thread on the Internet dedicated to finding out whether the Oscar winner is actually an alien being living among us. Like seriously, when was he ever young. Cyber Sai: “I just recently watched “Eyewitness” a Sigourney Weaver movie from 1981, she made it 2 years after Alien. Morgan Freeman had a role as a cop in the movie. In the movie he does have black hair, but he still looks old. And this movie is from f**ing 1981…over 30 years ago. Was Morgan Freeman ever young?” Of course, the responses, like Morgan Freeman’s age, were out of this world. Lockedout6: He’s not bounded by space and time. Right now, I’m reading every post as if Morgan Freeman himself was narrating it. Penisochio: Huh, was God ever young. Good question. YellowShampoo: he looks like a male version of the oracle. maybe he’s just a program in the matrix But if you dig deep enough, there is an actual photo of a younger Morgan Freeman. Source: Getty / Getty Not like teenager young, but not as old as we’ve seen him in our lifetime. Source: Getty / Getty Someone on Twitter dug even deeper and found the UNBELIEVABLE photo of Mr. Freeman as a child ! Wow. We’ve officially seen it all.

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN If you haven’t been keeping up, Tamar Braxton is in love — like, so in love with her beloved “T’Challa” that she had to shout it from the rooftops, which in 2019, is Instagram. The 42-year-old singer and reality star publicly shared how much she values and loves her current boyfriend, David Adefeso , on Tuesday. “The fact that I once thought that love was a feeling. The fact is every thing about that word is an action,” she wrote . “To be patient and kind and giving, respectful, Honest, mature, nurturing, protective, present, problem solving ,a provider, Saved, Positive, considerate, all about family, is EVERYTHING that u are LOVE.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Tamar has certainly found her someone special because she even mentioned that David deals with her tantrums, which if you’ve watched her on Braxton Family Values , you know are nothing to play with. What was sweet about all of this though was that Adefeso actually shared his adoration for her in response (you know celebrity women love to laud their men while in turn, the guys stay silent). He commented on her post saying he is happy to finally know what true love feels like. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

With every turn of the calendar I settled into the realization that I would be one of those unlucky few who never got to experience the true joy of experiencing life through the eyes of someone who makes every sunset more colorful, every bird’s chirp more beautiful and every glance more meaningful. Until that fateful day in the summer I never imagined what real love felt like. You have strengthened me; you have loved me; you have brought me closer to my God; you complete me. I love you; you love me; together forever! Your Dave.” With all that being said though, Tamar is technically still married to Vince Herbert . Though she filed for divorce in October 2017, things still haven’t been finalized and she claimed last year that he was taking his sweet time to reply to her filing. She’s so ready to be done with her marriage, according to The Blast , she filed documents recently asking to, at the very least, be granted a “status only” divorce for the time being, making her legally single. Whether she’s single legally or not, she is definitely single in spirit based on these sweet nothings shared between she and David.

Britney Spears trying to prove she is in control of her own life..through slutty instagram content that I am going to assume was shot months ago as filler content for when they have her locked in a cage in a padded room – decompressing or being brain washed and hyped into doing another world tour or Vegas residency for her family to take all the money from…. She’s a white trash, sold by her parents to the farmer down the street when she was 14, only the farmer down the street happened to be the entertainment industry…. She’s been publicly abducted in plain site for the last decade or so – thanks to the K-Fed head shaving experience, so bitch can’t make any decisions on her own…everything runs through her dad…and the public just stood by and watched and danced along to Hit Me Baby One More Time….despite the cries for help… But now she’s back, or pretending to be back with slutty content and since she’s still fucking hot, I have a thing for the imprisoned types….it just makes her that much better.
