Chris Brown To Guest Star ‘Black-Ish’ Good news (for a change) for Breezy! The crooner is taking a turn on the small screen next week, making a guest appearance According to Entertainment Weekly , Chris will play a popular rap star named “Richard Youngsta” that Dre (Anthony Anderson) is extremely excited to work with, but his campaign reads as stereotypical to his wife Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross). Interesting! We can’t recall seeing Chris bust out his acting chops since “Think Like A Man,” so we’re interested to see him stretch those comedic skills. Will you be tuning in to catch Chris chop it up with Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Deon Cole and the cast of kiddies next week? Splash

As you’re probably aware, Donald Trump unveiled his 2018 budget proposal this week, and he’s pretty much the only one who likes it. The plan calls for massive cuts to several vital government agencies, in particular those tied to health, human services, and the arts. Democrats are balking at the tremendous human toll, and key Republicans believe the budget will prove impossible to pass. Yes, Trump’s first federal budget appears to be DOA, but there’s still one person who can swoop in and save the day … We’re talking, of course, about the seldom-seen Melania Trump. You see, ever since her husband’s inauguration back in January, Melania has spent less time in the White House than people taking guided tours. The Trump administration initially responded to concerns about the cost of round-the-clock Secret Service protection for the Manhattan faction of the Trump clan with vague promises of Melania and son Barron Trump eventually making their way to D.C. But the consensus among insiders seemed to be that Melania never intended to move into the White House . (In fairness, she was probably just as shocked as the rest of us when he won the election.) Now, however, it seems that in a move to appease voters, Donald will make the ultimate sacrifice and live under the same roof as his wife. According to TMZ, insiders close to the situation say that Melania and her son are “absolutely moving after the school year.” One source claims a school has already been selected for Barron, and White House staff members are readying Melania’s living quarters with a fresh coat of paint. We assume the stench of goat blood and charred flesh all of Steve Bannon ‘s scrifices to the Prince of Darkness, but it’s nothing a little Lysol won’t fix. So what does all of this have to do with Trump’s budget proposal? Well nothing, really, but an oft-cited statistic is that the cost of keeping Melania and Barron in Manhattan is greater than the entire annual buget for the National Endowment for the Arts, a program that’s marked to be gutted by Trump’s budget. So will the program be saved now that Melania is taking one for the team and pretending to share a bed with Donnie? Of course not, silly! That would amount to compromise and we’re pretty sure The Art of the Deal could basically be summarized as “compromise is for pussies.” Besides, that money can be easily wasted elsewhere. Now the whole family can take costly trips to hobnob with pay-for-play oligarchs at Mar-a-Lago! View Slideshow: Melania Trump Meets Michele Obama, All of Twitter Makes the Same Joke
Ever wonder how things work behind the scenes on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette… or maybe how much of it is actually staged? Well, we've got a few answers that will most certainly surprise even longtime, card-carrying members of Bachelor Nation. Here are 16 crazy things that you never knew about The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and their cast of characters … 1. The Contestants Do Their Own Cooking and Laundry You might imagine that staying in the Bachelor Mansion is a luxury, but the contestants not only lack total privacy, they’re also responsible for their own cooking, laundry, etc. This is not a lavish lifestyle they’re living. 2. The Ladies Buy Their Own Dresses Those beautiful dresses aren’t provided to the ladies by ABC. The women have to bring their own, with the exception of the dresses the final two contestants wear in the finale. It goes both ways, too. On The Bachelorette, the guys are expected to come prepared with suits for each rose ceremony. 3. Contestants are Screened for STDs Yep, each contestant on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette is apparently screened for STDs, which, on some level, probably makes sense. Oh, and they all have to get a psychological health screening too… 4. The Food is Not For Eating Ever notice how those one-on-one dinners leave out the part where each person takes a bite of food? That’s because they don’t. Instead, each person eats at a hotel before the dinner. 5. A Real Family Lives in the Bachelor Mansion When The Bachelor isn’t being filmed at the mansion, a family of four lives there. They pack up their stuff and leave twice a year for 42 days, while a new set of hopefuls come in to take over the space. 6. One Month Each season might seem like it spans over a lengthy period of time, especially since someone is proposing marriage at the end of the whole thing, but actually, it only takes about a month to film.

Newlywed Jinger Duggar recently stepped out wearing an outfit so risque, card-carrying members of Duggar Nation promptly lost their minds. Seriously. You are not going to believe that a member of the Duggar family, married or not, went out in public exposing this much skin … Yes, that’s Jinger Duggar wearing shorts. Shorts! Normally, a cute 23-year-old girl wearing shorts is hardly news, but in this case it’s literally unprecedented, so that’s the Duggars for you. Skirts and dresses, and long ones at that. Throughout her entire life, Jinger and the rest of the Duggar family have lived by that modest dress code and total intolerance of pants. Jinger, who moved out of the Duggar compound in Arkansas and now lives in Texas after marrying Jeremy Vuolo last fall, looks to be over it. Parading around town in knee-length shorts and a pair of Keds, Jinger’s seemingly inconsequential picture has roiled Duggar fans nationwide. We are 100 percent serious that no Duggar female has ever worn shorts in public, nor have they donned any tempting, form-hugging pants. Jinger’s sisters, Jill and Jessa, have each been photographed wearing snow pants while sledding, but that is nothing like this event. Their mother, Michelle Duggar, has been outspoken in the past about why she and her daughters dress modestly in skirts and dresses. “My daughters are the second generation of modest dressing in this family,” she has said. “They’ve grown up being dressed modestly.” Praising this “feminine apparel,” she says “I’ve told my daughters this has been a joyful journey for me to learn what my Lord has called me to.” “I feel like the Lord is impressing upon me that I should be modest in what I wear [and] defining who I am as a woman by choosing to wear dresses and skirts.” Saying she is inspired by the Bible, Michelle adds that “our interpretation was that from the neck down to the knee should be covered.” “By keeping those private areas covered, there’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on,” the matriarch says, going on to explain: “My kids have all been taught that the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled.” “We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.” Michelle is serious about enforcing her family’s dress code, as evidenced by holding them to it even in situations you would not expect. One of those being Joy-Anna Duggar’s workout attire … in which she wears a skirt over loose-fitting workout pants while lifting weights: Talk about going to great lengths. Jill refused to wear a standard firefighter’s uniform while working as a volunteer firefighter EMT, modifying the pants into a skirt as well. The Duggar family also believes that women’s shoulders should not be shown off in public settings because “they may arouse men.” Raw, uncut shoulders. Even Duggar family swimming attire is remarkably un-revealing, as evidenced by this classic photo of Jessa and Ben Seewald in 2015. Any hopes of seeing Jessa Duggar cleavage or even soft-core shoulder action was quickly dashed when she posted this poolside pic: However, Jinger broke that rule during her honeymoon, wearing a loose-fitting, shoulder-revealing top during one of her video posts. Perhaps she’s bucking this family tradition altogether. Believe it or not, she was even seen wearing her hair in a ponytail and not the typical, Jim-Bob Duggar-approved long-flowing curls. Of course, even by Duggar standards, she’s not technically “defrauding” anyone with the shorts, which still go down to Jinger’s knees. There is no “stirring up desires [in men] that cannot be righteously fulfilled” here, either from the shorts or the fact that she’s married. If Jeremy Vuolo finds himself in a perpetual state of arousal after seeing this, well, he and his wife are now free to act upon those desires. The days of side hugs are long gone, people … Naturally, the Duggar fan community went nuts over the shorts pic, with one fan writing “Wow, amazing!! Maybe Jinger finally is ‘free’!” That quote comes to us from a member of Free Jinger, a forum actually named after Jinger Duggar and fans’ desire for her to be … free. A Pickles and Hairspray Facebook fan adds: “Looky! Jinger in shorts and she isn’t even swimming! It’s always nice to see a Duggar kid give the finger to their parents’ crazy restrictive rules!” “Feel like this a major victory! Wearing SHORTS!!!” another fan commented, celebrating the end of a lifetime of sharing “modern modest” pics. Victory or not, all of this begs the question: View Slideshow: 13 Disturbing Things BANNED By the Duggar Family What did Michelle think when she saw this pic? Did her daughter clear this with her mom and dad ahead of time, or is she officially her own woman, free to make decisions for herself? Is Jinger doing this now because always she’s always been a rebel who has wanted to wear shorts and was forbidden to by her parents? Did she just discover that shorts are a thing?! Is it because her husband Jeremy has told her that he wants her to wear shorts, and she’s obliging his more modern fashion preferences? Will Joy-Anna and her younger siblings follow Jinger’s lead and eventually adopt a more conventional style of dress, defying Michelle? So many mysteries in these strange times.

Nicki Minaj Isn’t Planning To Release Return Diss To Remy Ma Any Time Soon If you’ve been holding your breath for a Nicki Minaj response to Remy Ma , then either you’re dead as hell, or you need to take a second to breathe. According to TMZ , Nicki Minaj has “no immediate plan” to respond to Remy’s soul-shattering diss song “shETHER”. A source close to Onika says that all of Remy’s alleged lies are being shot down by Trey Songz, Ebro and Lil Wayne so there is no need for her to reply. Instead of writing bars , Nicki is carrying on with her life and posting Instagram pic after Instagram pic to prove how much she is unbothered by Reminisce’s raunchy rhetoric. None of this is to say that Nicki will NEVER respond, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen anytime soon because she feel like she’s winning without saying a word. Sounds lame. Rappers should rap, but maybe Nicki just wants to be considered a pop star. *shrug* Peep what Nicki has been doing in the meantime on the flip… Image via Instagram
Ann R. Tuennerman, founder of Tales of the Cocktail And Husband Paul In Blackface Incident A New Orleans couple who founded a major cocktail conference has plunged themselves into a racial firestorm after the husband posted a picture of his wife clad in blackface and an afro. In now deleted Facebook posts, Paul Tuennerman last week uploaded a video of his wife in blackface and an afro with the caption, “As he said ‘Throw a little Black Face on and you lose all your Media Skills.’ He did his best as the Interviewer.” The Tuennerman’s founded Tales of the Cocktail, a mixology conference that draws some 15,000 to 20,000 bartenders and mixologists from around the world, and pulls in millions a year in sales. Ann Tuennerman has since apologized, while her husband Paul resigned from Tales of the Cocktail last week, calling the blackface stunt “stupid,” and “was meant to be a husband’s innocent teasing of his camera-shy wife, not a belittlement of others.” But Joseph Solis, a mixologist for 15 years who works with Hennessy and founded the Sol Hospitality Group, said the blackface incident shows that there is a need for diversity and inclusion initiatives within the mixology and bartending industry. “I’ve been going there (Tales of the Cocktail) for years and I can’t count how many times I’ve been the only chocolate chip in the cookie,” Solis said. “I think it’s disgusting. I think it’s inappropriate and I think it’s inexcusable.” The blackface incident has also caused an uproar among bartenders of color around the country, many of whom said that they’ve been made to feel less than in the traditionally white male-dominated industry. Solis agreed: “Consider how much money people of color spend on alcohol,” he said. “This story needs to be told.” Tales of the Cocktail, Facebook
