It’s pretty common knowledge at this point that Khaled was with John Legend and Nipsey Hussle shooting a music video for their song “Higher” just a couple of days before the latter’s passing. This track and the visual for it are going to be some of the last memories we have of the late rapper, so it’s no surprise that it’s got people talking. With Khaled’s album set to drop on Friday, the producer took to social media to announce his plan for “Higher,” letting us all know that him, John Legend, and everyone else who worked on the song agreed to donate all proceeds from streaming, etc to Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross.

Tori Roloff: Will She Give Birth to a Dwarf?

Tori Roloff is pregnant with her second child. And the universal reaction to this very exciting news has been, well… excitement. Everyone out there is just so very happy for Tori and husband Zach , both of whom have been regular cast members on Little People, Big World for years and both of whom just seem like regular, very nice people. Sorry if that sounds boring. It’s simply true. “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother!” Tori wrote this week on Instagram, adding that she also knows the gender of her impending child: “We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” Neither can we. However, while social media users and loved ones have been sending Tori and Zach their best wishes ever since this announcement, at least some of these same people have been anxious to ask her a question: Will this little girl be… a little person? Will she be like her father and her grandfather and be born with dwarism? On one hand, of course, this is a sensitive and personal topic. On the other, though, the Roloffs have been very honest and open about this subject ever since becoming famous and there’s certainly no reason for shame behind the answer. Fans are merely curious. “Odds that it will be a LP [little person]?” one person asked the 28-year old mother to be after she asked for followers to hit her up with “all the baby questions.” Replied Tori: 50/50 . Back in October of 2017, Roloff revealed in a similar Q&A that she and Zach found out their son, Jackson, would be born with achondroplasia, the same condition both Zach and Matt Roloff possess. “We actually found out when I was 34 weeks pregnant, but my doctor had a little more of a heads up than some parents,” Tori explained back then. At one point during this first pregnancy, Tori called it “scary” and admitted that it was hard to think about her child as “different,” but added that she would of course love him no matter what. Zach, who has achondroplasia, also opened up two years ago about the challenges he faced as a young dwarf and some of his concerns for Jackson. “You have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take them five steps to do what others can do in two,” he said in May 2017. He said this shortly after Jackson was born and made it clear that his parenting style would be the same no matter the size of his offspring: “But I knew, dwarf or not, I was going to parent my child with the mentality that not everyone gets a trophy. You have to earn it.” Men with achondroplasia grow to an average height of 4’4″ with a normal lifespan, while babies may have breathing problems, along with delays in muscle development. Zach said back then that the genetic condition might make Jackson’s life more challenging, but: “I want people to know that he’s just like his dad: being a dwarf is just part of the whole package of who he is.” Congratulations once again to Tori and Zach!

The Real Housewives of New York Recap: Bethenny Frankel Lashes Out at LuAnn de Lesseps!

Bethenny Frankel has had enough.  Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City found her confronting someone she helped save not too long ago.  If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you know that Bethenny was instrumental in helping co-star Luann de Lesseps realize she needed to seek help for alcohol abuse.  Bethenny revealed during the new installment that she thought Luann was being obnoxious, and not caring about any of the other ladies. She also took aim at her cabaret show.  Bethenny was not impressed to learn that Luann was bashing her for leaving her cabaret show early. The show in question went ahead hours late, and Luann did not tell her co-stars about it being late.  To everyone, Bethenny showed up for as long as she could. Luann, on the other hand, could not say a nice word about Bethenny.  Luann said that she wished Bethenny would have stayed for the show.  “I mean, I love you, but I was there for three hours. I had to let my babysitter go,” Frankel replied said, before going for the jugular. “[Dorinda] told me you said, ‘Why is she leaving to go home and watch Bryn sleep?'” “Well, because I imagine a child at 8 years old by 11:30 is sleeping,” Luann shot back. “Right, but then guess what? Tomorrow’s school,” Bethenny added. “So I would like to watch her wake up. And also, I don’t have a nanny. I have a housekeeper that I have babysit, so I don’t like to keep her there until 1 o’clock in the morning if she has to be there the next day.” Luann went on to say that Bethenny was there for her when she needed it, in her sad times, but she also wanted her to be there during the happy times.  “Luann, I’m a mother of an 8-year-old in third grade. It’s Halloween. I was trick-or-treating after school,” Bethenny said.  “Really, hear me. I need you to actually receive this. I’m a mom, I come home…” “I know that. I’m a mom, too. Don’t talk to me like I’m not a mom! I know what it is,” Luann yelled.  Bethenny wanted Luann to understand that her kids were not 8, but Luann said they once were.  “You told me when we were in Miami for Art Basel that I should just get somebody to take care of my kid at night when I don’t wanna do that,” Bethenny fired back. “Well, yeah,” Luann complained. “When you wanna go out, sure.” “But I don’t wanna go out at 11:30 at night!” Bethenny said, completely shocked at the way Luann was acting. “I wouldn’t go see Madonna at 11:30 at night!” “You always say you have to get home for Bryn. At 11 o’clock at night, the child is sleeping!” Lu continued. “But I have to wake up with her to make her breakfast and take her to school!” B shouted. “This is my life. You’re doing your cabaret and your life, and I respect that. I was there supporting that. I’m living my life, and you’re not supporting it by saying to somebody, ‘She left to watch her daughter sleep.’ This is my life the way that I’m living it right now.” “Who do you think you are?!” Bethenny screamed in a confessional. “This is how I’m choosing to do this as a single mom, and I don’t like to be f–ked with on it — at all!” Ugh. That was wild.  What are your thoughts on the argument? RHONY continues Wednesdays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: Bethenny Frankel: Quitting The Real Housewives of New York City Over Dennis Shields’ Death?

Amy Roloff TRASHED by Fans: Just Give Matt an Answer Already!!

On Tuesday night’s episode of Little People, Big World , Amy Roloff felt bullied and pressured by her ex-husband. Matt wants her to make a decision, but Amy wants to weigh all of her options with a major decision like giving up her home. But some fans and viewers have grown impatient, and they’re putting Amy on blast for not making up her mind already. “I just want to make the best decision,” Amy explains of her reluctance to commit to either staying or going. “Moving out of a house that I never really thought I’d move out of years ago …” she says. Amy confesses that “to think about that now is a little daunting.” “It is a little scary,” she notes. “It’s a little intimidating” Amy admits that she feels this way “because I’ve never been on my own before.” Matt was feeling impatient, and even accused Amy of being “selfish.” Unfortunately, some very outspoken fans felt the same way. They took to Amy’s Instagram comments to let her know how they really feel about her dragging her heels on making this major decision. “Keep your house. Not fair to have lived with your kids coming back there until they moved on and now you’re alone and don’t want it. You’re selfish” ” You seem mean and controlling even though you divorced Matt you want to try and control his destiny! .” “Watching tonight and all I can say is make up your dam mind,” one angry fan comments. The viewer writes: “even your kids say the same” “And why should Matt have to give up the side of the farm he’s been on for 3 years?” the comment asks. “He didn’t want the DW but had no choice and after 3 years you wAnt it ?” the fan expresses. The comment concludes: “I’d tell you to go pound sand.” “I think you need to move to someplace else,” suggests another comment. “Or,” the fan speculates. “You have FOMO syndrome.” Amy is very clearly experiencing a degree of fear of missing out . “You ask for the divorce and you start dating,” the follower writes. “You have to move on with you life.” The viewer reassures Amy that “you kids always going to be there no matter where you move.” “And,” the fan admonishes. “Stop playing the victim card.” “I watch the show faithfully and I’m a huge fan,” another comment begins. “But I must say that it’s 5 episodes that Matts been waiting for a response on the farm,” the fan notes. “Just settle it and be done,” the commenter demands. “The poor guys been waiting for over a month on your response,” the follower expresses. “And,” the fan accuses. “I think it’s pretty selfish of you to throw Matt out of his current house so you can move in.” Matt is not as mobile as Amy. That’s a fair point. We have to say that we understand where (most) of the comments are coming from. It can be difficult to watch someone be indecisive, especially when it’s drawn out for so long on television. A lot of fans have already decided that they know what is best for both Roloff grandparents. Others have simply chosen sides. But Amy’s point — that this has been her home for a long time, and that she has never been on her own before — makes a lot of sense. Moving is a huge decision for most people. It’s very fair that she doesn’t like feeling rushed. Eventually, though, she will have to decide. View Slideshow: Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler Share Special Photo, Spark Engagement Chatter

Justice System Trash: ACLU And Texas Civil Rights Project To Rep Crystal Mason After She’s Sentenced 5 Years For Voting

Source: Sirijit Jongcharoenkulchai / EyeEm / Getty Crystal Mason To Be Repped By ACLU And Texas Civil Rights Project Last year we reported on a woman named Crystal Mason who was sentenced to five years in prison for “illegally” voting. For those who are unaware, Crystal had just been released from prison for tax fraud and was still on probation when she cast a provisional ballot for the 2016 election. She was unaware of a Texas law that stated that she was not allowed to vote due to her criminal status. Thus, she was sentenced to more time in the bing. According to HuffPo , Crystal is seeking a new trial to be released and the ACLU and Texas Civil Rights Project have stepped in to help her. Mason’s lawyers told the Court of Appeals in November she deserves a new trial because the statute she was convicted under is vague, and that the ballot she cast ultimately did not count since it was a provisional ballot. They also argue that she received ineffective counsel from her trial attorney. Oral argument is set for the case on June 4 in Fort Worth. “The prosecution of Crystal Mason for the innocent mistake of casting a provision ballot that wasn’t even counted is a severe injustice,” Andre Segura, an attorney with the ACLU of Texas who will help represent Mason, said in a statement. “Ms. Mason simply attempted to follow the law and participate in what she believed to be her civic duty, and in return has been sentenced to an outrageous length of time in prison.” This country is full of s#!t.
