Ariana Grande isn’t taking the blame for Mac Miller’s recent actions. Ariana Grande and Mac Miller’s break up came as a shock to many people. The two went strong for two years and it didn’t seem like there were any issues. However, since the break up, Mac’s been arrested for a drunk driving hit and run while Grande’s been rumored to be dating SNL’s Pete Davidson. Many people on social media have seemingly blamed the break up for Mac Miller’s crash. Grande previously addressed her relationship with Mac Miller and said they’re still on good terms. But now, she may have revealed the real reason behind their break up. A fan of Twitter stated that Mac Miller’s recent incident following the break up and seemingly making an album about Ariana Grande was one of the “most heartbreaking things happening in Hollywood,” Grande wanted to make sure that people knew the facts. She posted a screenshot of a note addressing her “toxic relationship” with Mac Miller and how she’s tried to support his sobriety over the years.
“How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn’t the case (just Cinderella is about me). I’m not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.” She wrote, “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem. Let’s stop doing that.” She explained that although she never spoke about it, she says that it was an extremely hard and scary time for her. Peep her post below.

Idris Elba is re-creating a Disney classic. Netflix is really making moves and they’re taking Idris Elba with them. The Hollywood Reporter is spilling the tea on the Luther actor and his next project that will be directing, producing, composing the music for and starring in the revised version of Hunchback of Notre Dame. The flick is being described as a “sonic and musical experience” and Idris is said to be playing the hunchback – A.K.A. Quasimodo. There’s been no word on who else will star in the movie or any kind of release date, but we think the real question here is who is going to play Esmeralda?? This exciting project is yet another way Idris has inked another deal to star behind the scenes as he’s recently made his directorial debut at Sundance with his film Yardie and he’s set to star in and produce another Netflix joint, Turn Up Charlie, about a DJ who gets a gig as a nanny. Idris and his fiancee Sabrina Dhowre were one of the lucky couples to attend The Royal Wedding. Some online trolls were quick to jump at Sabrina’s outfit for the special day, but Idris followed up with an Instagram post to shut it all down, check it below.

The mournful Santa Fe High School shooting that shook the state of Texas last week at the hands of 17-year-old student Dimitrios Pagourtzis claimed the lives of 10 individuals and injured 13 others. But according to rapper Khia, yes of ‘My Neck and My Back’ fame, the tragic incident was not only bound to happen, but those affected were deserving of the deadly attack. Jesus. The always outspoken, but generally always questionable rapper took to her “Gag Order” live stream to share her thoughts on the incident. She began by saying her problem was with the school’s administration and staff, and there’s no more “real teachers” left, she said. “And I don’t want to say that that’s what y’all punk a** get, but that’s what y’all punk a** get,” she said. “Because it wasn’t no Black kids that died, and you motherf**kers need to learn how to get along with motherf**kers and stop picking on motherf**kers from the old to the young.” Khia believes it was the school that let Pagourtzis down. In her day, she said, teachers were far more personable and checked in on students. “You know this boy done been in this high school from 9th grade to 12th grade, and you mean to tell me ain’t nobody tried to be his friend, he don’t get along with nobody, the teachers picking on him, the students picking on him—you motherf**kers got what you deserved,” she said. “Because if you motherf**kers would have been his friend, your a** wouldn’t have gotten shot down.” Khia apparently hasn’t read up much on the shooter past the surface details, such as his attack on one of the victims whose mother says Pagourtzis harassed for four months. Not to mention, other details reporting that “he did not shoot students he did like so he could have his story told.” Check out Khia’s comments in the clip below. What’s your take?

We were all so busy waiting for the new season of Insecure to drop that we didn’t realize Insecure was around us all along. Let me explain: if you’ve seen Season 2, you’ll remember Dro, Molly’s boo who insists he’s in a very chill open marriage, and Tasha, the girl from the bank who Lawrence, um, spends time with after breaking up with Issa. No one expected this crazy plot twist, though: Sarunas J. Jackson, who plays Dro, is actually in a relationship with DomiNque Perry, who plays Tasha. Not just that, but the couple just had a baby together. Perry recently posted a photo of her newborn daughter, Zen. Perry had never mentioned or alluded to who the father was, so fans congratulated her on the newest addition to the family and moved right along with their lives.
Until, of course, Jackson posed a photo of Zen to his Twitter account. Jackson captioned the photo “NWTS,” a likely nod to Drake’s Nothing Was The Same. Jackson probably means that now he is a father, his life will never be the same, but for devoted Insecure fans who were out of the Perry/Jackson loop, the phrase is also apt, because we’re all shook. Check out some of the hilarious fan reactions below:
Issa Rae recently announced that Insecure is returning to HBO for a third season on August 12. |

Donald Glover may be joining the “Black Panther” cast. Before Black Panther even hit theatres it was the talk of the town. Once it arrived for everyone’s viewing pleasure, it was loved even more and Ryan Coogler was praised for his directing skills and the talk of a sequel was already floating around. According to Metro, serious moves are being made to possibly get none other than Donald Glover to have a part in the second installment. Donald and his brother Stephen played their part in the first movie bu reading over the script and adding in a few jokes. It seems as though Ryan now was Donald to get in front of the camera for a more serious part. “Ryan is currently mapping out Black Panther’s sequel and has written in a number of new characters that movie-goers will be introduced to when it premieres,” a source told the publication. “One of those characters, if he gets his wish, will be played by [Donald Glover’s musical alter ego] Childish Gambino. Nothing is set in stone but ‘informal talks’ [are happening] between Ryan, Gambino and reps from Marvel and Disney to see if they can make it happen.” Apparently, the crew behind the film aren’t sure if Erik Killmonger will return in some capacity – since he did die at the end. “They’re still yet to decide if Michael B. Jordan will return in some capacity but if he doesn’t it’s likely Gambino may play some kind of villain,” the source added. |

It looks like Nene Leakes is putting her one-woman show on pause to be with her husband, Gregg Leakes, who is currently being hospitalized for undisclosed health issues. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared a video on Instagram explaining the situation. “Hey, you guys! It’s NeNe! And I’m doing a different announcement today than I’ve ever done before. First of all, I just want to say I feel very blessed, and extremely lucky to be able to do what I do! And I’m so grateful that you guys purchased tickets to see me everywhere…I have to cancel my Albany, NY and my New York City Caroline’s show. Today marks the 15th day – straight – that Gregg has been in the hospital. I find it very difficult to stand on stage and laugh and have a good time with giving you guys your money worth – knowing that my husband is in the hospital not feeling well,” she said in the video. “He has said to me over and over again, ‘Go on! Go out there! Do the show, I’m going to be fine.’ [But] I find it mentally very hard for me to do. Greg will be out of the hospital this week. He will be stronger. He will be better. Thank you for loving me!”
Nene Leakes also slammed media reports about her husband’s health, but didn’t elaborate on exactly what he’s dealing with. “This is NOT an exclusive!! This is a ploy to try an find out what’s really going on! Well what’s not going on is…he’s NOT in the hospital for an heart issue, he doesn’t and has NEVER had food poisoning! By the way, who the fuck stays in the emergency room 15days? It’s really sad people like Radar won’t respect your privacy when you need it most?? #lifeoftheleakes Thank you to those that have sent well wishes and good vibes! Thank you to our family and friends who are texting us with thoughts and prayers,” she posted.

Dewan, who announced a separation from husband Channing Tatum earlier this year, visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, and spoke about a number of topics, including a special gift she received from Janet Jackson. After explaining to Kimmel that she was personally asked by Jackson to go on tour, Dewan revealed that the legendary singer loved giving out gifts. Kimmel, curious as ever, asked Dewan to explain herself, leading to one of the most interesting Janet stories we’ve heard in awhile. “On Valentine’s day, mind you, I’m 19 on tour with Janet, I’m baby baby baby naïve, she gives you a box of um … like, vibrators,” explains Dewan. “A pleasure chest. We all got it, all the dancers. But still, I was like, What is this? I was mind blown.” Check out the interview below. |

The “I Like It” music video is next in line after “Be Careful.” Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy is inexhaustible in the eyes of her many fans. Although she has taken some distance from the public in recent months, due to her pregnancy, she still found a way to pay it forward. The latest visuals for her next music video, the latin boogaloo influenced “I Like It” made their way in a YouTube Music Ad promoting the subscription service’s entry to the market. The YouTube Music ad relays the many subscription packages and features to the tune of “I Like It” before passing over to actual footage of the music video, never before scene by the public. The video features two distinctive shots, one of Cardi and J. Balvin shimmying to the beat, and a second of Cardi B donning a head wrap and big scoop earrings in a more natural setting. To those concerned, Google’s new YouTube Music streaming service launched yesterday with three distinct product bundles. The basic options is free but riddled with advertising. The second option costs $9.99 per month and covers a fairly broad spectrum of published material. Lastly, the third option costs $11.99 per month and offers original video content to Premium subscribers. Check out Cardi B’s appearance in the ad below, and look out for “I Like It,” when it finally clears the line. |

Nicki Minaj was forced to cancel due to “Doctor’s Orders.” Nicki Minaj cancelled her Tuesday taping of The Ellen Show, due to what she calls “Doctor’s Orders.” The NY rapper made the announcement last night much to the chagrin of her “Barbies.” Outside of forced expectations, Nicki relayed her shared disappointment, and alluded to mild health concerns as reason for her absenteeism. She did after all put in a full weekend shift, doubling as SNL’s host, and the Highline Ballroom’s guest of honor on Saturday Night, where she managed a 20 minute appearance before fleeing the scene in an unmarked car. The announcement she failed to make due to rescheduling, is due to be revealed at some point during the day. Nicki has already announced that her album is set for release next month, and that her tour will be her best yet, and those in attendance will be privy to the biggest news item in her agenda. Perhaps her announcement will help flesh out the details, perhaps her tour will take her across the World? Maybe there’s a new song in the balance, what have you? Fans online have of course run to their favorite circumstance to place on every female celebrity…that she’s pregnant. However, we have no reason to confirm nor deny that at this point. What do you think Minaj has up her sleeves? |

UNREAL #GODISHERE SPREAD THIS LOVE ALL OVER THE WORLD! CLICK THE LINK IN BIO – #BLESSED #FORMYBABY” he wrote on another IG post. And he has reasons to jump for joy. Whether this was a drama-filled storyline or a genuine debacle, the two were trying to conceive for months. “I don’t know the process of it — when it actually happened, what night — but it was special because we was trying for a while,” Ray J told The Realabout the couple’s struggles with infertility. “It’s not as easy as people think. For some people, they just go on tour and get everybody pregnant. But for me, it was love. We took our time, and as we were taking our time, it just took a little while.” As you can imagine, it was a relief once Princess finally became pregnant. The singer’s predictions were spot-on, as he said he wanted a baby girl “I want to have a little girl first because it’s like daddy’s little girl.” Ray J told The Real “A little boy is probably going to be a little aggressive, so I just want to be able to have some peace first. But whatever God blesses us with, I’m happy.” |
