Michael B. Jordan is in St. Tropez living it up, but he may or may not be soaking it all in with his rumored girlfriend Ashlyn Castro. He was spotted getting it in in the club and it's unclear if the woman was his girlfriend or another chick. Peep the pics and decie for yourself inside...

We told y'all Michael B. Jordan is rumored to be dating IG model Ashlyn Castro. Remember when he brought her home to celebrate at his family's Kwanzaa celebration last year?

Well, we're not sure if they're still together or not, but these new flicks could change the game if the woman in the flicks are indeed someone else. Now that the CREED actor has wrapped up filming the prequel in Philly, he jetted to the French Riviera for some fun in St. Tropez. And he's living his best life.

The Black Panther star was spotted getting it in on the dance floor at the VIP Room in St. Tropez with a mystery woman. She looks very similar to his rumored girlfriend Ashlyn, but it's hard to tell if it's actually her or not.  Because, exoticals.  *shrugs*

His homie/MTV's "Ridiculousness" co-host Steelo Brim was also in the mix.

Sources on the scene said the YBF actor and the mystery woman got busy on the dance floor before they ended up getting cozy on a couch all night.

Peep a few shots below:

We checked Ashlyn's social media accounts and we didn't come across any St. Tropez vacay pics. IG models usually love posting up vacay pics.

"I like women, period. All women. Everybody's on the table," Michael B. Jordan told Power 105's "The Breakfast Club a few months ago when he was asked if he had a preference for a particular type of woman. He's really not tryna let us all up in his love life.  Rightfully so, we guess.

WHEW CHILE: Yeezy Model & Reality Star Shannade Clermont Arrested On Federal Charges After Allegedly Prostituting & Stealing A Dead Man's Debit Card

When doing it for the 'Gram leads you straight to prostitution & federal charges for wire fraud and identity theft because you allegedly stole & ran up your prostitution client's debit card to the tune of $20K....SHEESH!  The wild deets on a popular Yeezy & IG model's arrest inside...

Nope, this isn't your straight-to-tv BET Blackbuster film with a wild ass, unbelievable storyline.  This ish actually just happened with a popular IG model, who was constantly laced in Gucci, who swore she had more coins than all you "peasants".

 

Shannade Clermont, one half of the Clermont Twins known for flipping their money into all the plastic surgery, world travels and any designer they can get their hands on, was arrested last night.  And the story is a DOOZY.

The US Attorney's Office of the Southern District of New York put out a statement yesterday alerting the masses that the former "Bad Girls Club" star and Yeezy Season 6 model had been arrested on three federal charges involving her stealing a victim's debut card who had overdosed after their "date".  She charged him $400 for her "services", according to the text messages where they discussed her prostitute prices, and it seems to have been the Trojan horse for her to get to his bank account.

The details, though, are wild. Here’s what we learned from the 12 page complaint filed by the United States:

 photo Screen Shot 2018-07-12 at 1.36.07 PM_zpsepa2ehtq.png

  • 24-year-old Shannade (who also goes by Aubree as an alias) scheduled a date for February 1, 2017 with a man over text, and told him she charges $400 (and we found out later her usual price is "$500 for 1-2 hours").  Now if she's going to do this type of foolery and talk the mess she talks, then her price should have been way more up than this.  Just saying.
  • She (and probably her twin sister Shannon) lives at Mercedes House apartment building in midtown Mahattan.  She told the John (unnamed victim) her address and that she would be there at 7.  He said Nah, come now.  The last text receipt published says she was hopping in the Uber.
  • The day after the dates of these texts, that man was fond dead of a drug overdose - cocaine and Fentanyl - at his apartment in a building near hers.  Drugs were found stashed around the apartment as well as a broken, used condom in the bed.
  • Authorities had been tracking his credit cards and bank accounts for several weeks, when they started to see activity on two of his stolen debit cards two months later at retail stores, airlines and a property management company. Authorities linked those cards to Shannade Clermont, who allegedly stole the cards from him after sex.  It's unclear if she knew he was dead when she left.  She's not charged in connection to his death in any way, at this time.
  • Over at least a 5 month period - January 2017-May 2017 - Shannade schemed her way to $20,000 of a dead man’s money, $17K of which was spent on luxury retail. She did spend $1600 on rent, which she paid for via a Western Union account using the card.
  • She allegedly created approximately 4 different aliases via email (one being her college email address), and used those emails to create fake accounts in the victim's name after his death, at designer stores.  She allegedly ordered designer clothes, buy plane tickets, and pay bills. She also had accounts set up on a Sugar Daddy website and a sex-for-sale site for women.
  • Since she allegedly used the same device to access all four emails, all in an hour’s time, police were able to trace all accounts back to her 1 IP address.

Get the full complaint HERE.

Cops put in for a warrant for her arrest, and she was jailed yesterday.  One of the plane tickets purchased was for a Toronto, Canada trip, which crosses international borders.  This is now a federal case.  Shannade bailed out on $1000 bond around midnight.

 

The Twins' IG account has comments turned off all pics, but Shannon & Shannade have been Tweeting up until yesterday:

A post shared by Shannon and Shannade Clermont (@clermonttwins) on

 

Just months after posing it up with her twin sister Shannon as a Kim Kardashian clone in Kanye West's campaign, and the girls' constant claims they are so much better than all the broke chicks they fought with on "BGC", here we are.

 

We don't know if Kim and her new "prison reform team" is going to rush to save her, but we shall see. 

 

We've hinted before about not believing the b.s. these InstaThots love to push.  No, they're not balling out of control like they claim and no, they don't wake up like their latest thirst trap pic.  And yes, the source of their money for all these 6-star vacays to beaches and Dubai and rock all this Fendi & Gucci IS suspect.  If they can't explain what their job is, like majority of these chicks, put your money on prostitution and scamming. To subsidize their modeling careers, we're sure.

Nope, Nicki Minaj Did NOT Cop Cardi B & Offset's Baby Kulture A $5,000 Couture Basket

Word on the curb was that Nicki Minaj bought Cardi B and Offset's baby an expensive gift, but apparently that's just not true. Get the latest, plus find out all the other gifts Baby Bardi received inside...

People thought Nicki Minaj took the high road by purchasing Cardi B and Offset's newborn daughter an expensive gift. But, apparently that's not true.

Nicki and Cardi don't really have "beef," but we all know they aren't besties. There was some friction between the "Motorsport" rappers, but Cardi said they squashed that beef at the Met Gala.

So, Nicki copping Cardi a baby gift isn't that far fetched.

The Blast came out with a report that said the "Chun Li" rapper had copped baby Kulture Kiari Cephus a $5,000 gift basket from upscale baby boutique Petit Trésor in West Hollywood. It was reported Nicki sequestered to have them make the basket "as girly as possible" and to also include "de the most sought-after items including luxury seasonal clothes, dolls, stuffed animals, and a sterling silver rattle."

Well, none of this is true. Apparently.

People in Cardi's camp reached out to TMZ to confirm the new parents haven't received anything from the Young Money rapper. In fact, Cardi's camp reached out to the luxury baby store to get the real deal, thinking they must have missed that basket.  The store owner told them neither Nicki or anyone in her camp  bought anything.

Welp.

However, Baby Kulture is already parlaying in $7,000 worth of lavish gifts, including baby gifts from designers Versace, Givenchy and Fendi.  So he'll be just fine.

Speaking of gifts...

 photo offsetcar.png

Offset just copped a new Porsche -- or got some new tint on one. Fans assumed it's a push gift, but Cardi already copped a Mercedes Benz G-Wagon for the baby and she still doesn't drive. But knowing these two, what's another ride for the collection?

Police have arrested a 2nd suspect in connection to the death of rapper XXXTentacion. Get those deets, plus find out how Young Thug's ex-manager Manny Halley won all this money from the rapper's finanical team inside...

Police have arrested a 2nd man in connection to the murder of rapper XXXTentacion. And, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office, they already had him in custody before bringing him up on murder charges.

22-year-old Michael Boatwright of Fort Lauderdale has been charged with first-degree murder in the broad daylight killing last month. 20-year-old XXX was leaving a motorsports store on June 18th when two masked men walked up on his car, robbed him and then shot him to death.

According to CNN, Boatwright was previously arrested on drug charges. Detectives then served him with an arrest warrant in the rapper's death. He had already been in custody at the county's main jail.

The site reports:

Inmate records show that, in addition to the murder charge, Boatwright is pending trial on charges of cannabis possession; possession of cocaine with intent to sell; manufacture or deliver; possession of the drug, flakka; battery on a specified employee; resisting/obstruction without violence; and probation violations, among other charges.

He is being held without bond, according to online records. It was not immediately clear if he had obtained legal representation.

 photo 1xxxkiller.png

Last month, police charged 22-year-old Dedrick Williams of Pompano Beach with first degree murder as well. Police are also looking for 22-year-old Robert Allen"to find out what he knows about the murder." It's reported Allen is only a person of interest in the murder. However, he is also the subject of a felony warant charging him with flakka possession, carrying a concealed firearm, and probation violation. Sheesh!

Glad the are making progress in getting the men responsible for taking XXX's life off the streets.

In legal news...

 photo mannyyoungthug.png

Young Thug's former manager Manny Halley is laughing all the way to the bank.

The manager - who has managed folks like Keyshia Cole and Nicki Minaj - just won a 7-figure settlement against the rapper's financial team in a defamation suit.

According to reports, Manny pulled the trigger on a lawsuit against Thugga's financial team Davie Weise & Associates after David Weise & Associates reportedly sent an email alleging Manny spent up to $200,000 in unauthorized charges. However, that wasn't the case. Manny charged that money for Thugga's private jets that he rode during his concert tour. He said the company was out to get him after he tried to get them fired for messing up Young Thug's fiances.

Well, it's all over now since they were able to come to a 7-figure settlement. They agreed there was no criminal conduct and chalked it up as a misunderstanding.

Teairra Mari had the Internet in overdrive when a video of her giving sloppy toppy went viral in these streets. She immediately spoke out saying she was hacked by an ex-boyfriend and that she was going to get the last laugh from his "revenge porn."

Soon after, she lawyered up. She hired famed attorney Lisa Bloom and Walter Mosely to take legal action against her ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad for leaking the revenge porn and she also called out 50 Cent who shared the content on his Instagram account.

She fought back tears during a press conference as she explained how her ex hacked her account after she broke up with him. Now, her co-stars are calling her bluff. They claim TT leaked her OWN sex tape.

And get this...

Even her homie/former "LAHH Milan Christopher put her on full blast with claims that she leaked her own sex tape, not her ex-boyfriend:

 

He also hopped in the comments of a Teairra Mari fan page to spill more tea: 

 

Milan even said he'd testify on Akbar's behalf. Yikes.

After "LAHH: Hollywood" star Zell Swag called him out for exposing TT, Milan explained why he did what he did:

It's unclear if Masika is returning this season. According to The Jasmine Brand, she quit back in February and she's also NOT featured on the newest promo photo for the new season.

 

Meanwhile, TT's ex-Akbar also claims she leaked THEIR sex tape. He also revealed she was calling him up for the"D" AFTER she filed the lawsuit against him and 50 Cent. Lordt. Check it:

 

Y'all know Fif stays on social media troll mode. He posted up a slight jab aimed at TT:

 

 

Sighs...

He also came after Teairra's lawyer Lisa Bloom for defending Harvey Weinstein. She was was once an advisor to the disgraced Hollywood exec, but resigned in October 2018:

 

 

You'll see this ish play out when "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" returns July 23rd.

In other reality news...

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Karlie Redd is expanding her brand into the rap world.

The reality star is launching her rap career and she just dropped brand new visuals for her debut single "Ferrari Karlie." Hmm...

Brandi Padilla, wife of future Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett, filed divorce papers in in Los Angeles yesterday.  They got married in the state of California in 2004.

While the divorce docs don't specifiy the exact reason for the split, Brandi cites irreconcilible differences.  And it looks like this may be headed toward a nasty custody battle, seeing that Brandi is requesting physical custody of both of their daughters as well as spousal support.

The Blast reports:

The couple has two daughters, 10-year-old Kapri and 5-year-old Kavalli, and according to the petition, Brandi wants physical custody of both kids with Garnett getting visitation.  She is requesting joint legal custody.

Brandi also lists the date of separation as “TBD,” and says the reason for the split is due to irreconcilable differences.

She’s seeking spousal support, and requesting that the court terminate Garnett’s ability to collect support.

The two, who are both 42 and dated for several years before getting married, would have celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary this month.

Kae appeared on "The Talk" to chat about beating actor Deon Cole on a recent episode of “Lip Sync Battle." She chose the perfect song too. The "Claws" actress performed "The Talk" co-host Eve’s hit song “Let Me Blow Your Mind.”

“That was very nerve-wracking because I’ve never performed on a stage," Kae told the ladies about her performance. "I am not musically talented at all. I can’t sing, I can’t dance. I got two left feet.”

“You look good. Your swag was everything. It was great," Eve said weighing in on the performance.

“I had to channel my inner-Eve!," Kae replied.

Congrats again to the family!

In celebs give back news, the "World of Dance" judge recently did a good deed by helping a homeless student, Max Johnson, become a software engineer.

 photo NEYOCAN2.jpg

According to Black Enterprise:

Johnson had a rough upbringing, being shuttled between Nigeria and the streets of Camden, New Jersey. In addition to his external environment, Johnson battled autoimmune deficiency illnesses that impacted both his mobility and the way his brain functioned. After attempting to go to college, Johnson quickly found that it wasn’t a fit for him.

When he came across the Holberton School he decided to give it a shot, knowing that he would not have to pay tuition unless he was hired as a software engineer. Although this was a great catalyst for his entry, Johnson did not have enough money saved up to afford a place in San Francisco, which resulted in him sleeping in his car.

When the school found out, they turned to Scality to help raise funds to secure Johnson a place to live. School trustee and investor Ne-Yo heard about the situation and personally took an interest in Johnson’s story and success.

Johnson has since landed a new job as a software engineer at J. Crew in New York City.

Loves it!

Wondering what Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert's first threesome was like? The couple just dropped all the juicy deets...

Married couple Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert returned to Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" to chop it up about her K.T.S.E. album and the extended delay.

Tey's "3Way" track had the Internet buzzing because she opened up about her sex life in a major way. On the record, she sings about engaging in threesomes with her husband. Why did she decide to share this with the world?

"I decided to do '3Way' because I just felt like after hearing VII [her debut album] and shit like that, all of our love songs are starting to kind of sound alike. And I just wanted to take it up a notch as far as my lyrical content," she explained.

The couple opened up what their first experience was like. And if we could have been a fly on the wall...

Teyana admitted to bringing up the idea of having a threesome.  And, by the way, she says this experience with her husband was her first ever experience with a girl, despite rumors she's been a longtime lesbian.

Tey apparently pulled a fast one on him their first time. The NBA baller said he was blindsided.

"It's just what she did was...the stunt she pulled...it was very left field. I didn't expect it. We had a great day. We already had something we had going on. We already in the hotel and then this n*gga [Teyana] walks out and then comes back and I'm like...? It was just random."

When asked what he did next, he stopped talking because he felt uncomfortable giving details since Teyana's mother was rightthere in the studio. Ha!

"I am Dora the Explorer and I got poor Diago here with me," she joked.

If you're down for the TMI: She also revealed the third person often is most focused on Teyana, and she doesn't allow Iman to "finish" on anybody but her.

The "Hit The Floor" star said she does whatever she wants to do and she didn't have a threesome with her husband to keep him. She didn't do it to "save her marriage." She said the "10 girls" that were mad need to mind their own business and let her do her.

"I don't do anything sexual to keep my man. The sex is crazy regardless. So, it ain't nothing about sharing a n*gga. Don't compare my marriage to yours. I'm very happy where I am. I don't do anything of this sort to keep my man," she explained.

Since the song dropped, they said women have been trying really hard to get their attention. However, this isn't something they're doing on a regular.

"This ain't no everyday thing. It's a SONG. It's a fantasy she created on a record," Iman explained.

And when they're done, the chick isn't staying around to hang out.

"It wasn't no kiki'n [afterwards]. We wasn't sitting there watching the 'Teyana & Iman' show. We wasn't sitting there watching 'Hit The Floor.' You got to go baby," Tey explained.

Teyana shared how after the threesome, they went out to the club with the chicl. When the night was over, the girl thought she was coming back to their hotel, but that wasn't happening. Bloop.

Oh, and she made it clear her husband is NOT eating anyone else's box. They explained it's more so about Iman watching Teyana with a woman versus him screwing another chick. By the way, Iman kept stopping to apologize to Teyana's mom. Ha!

The 27-year-old mom offered up advice to women who may be contemplating having a threesome with their man.

"Don't do anything you don't want to do. Don't do a threesome to keep yo n*gga," she said.

Sound advice.

In the interview, Teyana also chopped it up about what she didn't like about her album, why she loved the longer version better and more.

"Love & Hip Hop" star Safaree Samuels got boo'd while performing his track "Hunnid" at NYC's Dyckman Park. Well, the crowd wasn't feeling it, so they started boo'ing him and that's when he went all the way off.

"Let me tell you young n*ggas something. I f*ck b&tches y'all n*ggas dream about," he told the crowd. Right after he said that, people started throwing things and Safaree got up out of there.

 

 

So, what does he do after the embarrassing moment? He created a freestyle about the situation! Genius marketing.

"I don't clout chase, I cloud chase," he raps on the track. You can see footage of the viral moment play out in the background.

I had this great career to stand on and all this work I’ve done, but let’s strip all of that away and focus on what I’m about to do right now."

The Rock Is Totally NOT Interested In Hashing Things Out With Tyrese After Fall Out

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is speaking out about his feud with Tyrese and he says he's not interested in squashing their "beef," which he called one-sided. Find out what else he said about his former friend inside...

It doesn't sound like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Tyrese will let bygones be bygones.

The Rock is currently on the promo trail for his new movie Skyscrapper. He made a stop in the clubhouse to chop it up with Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" where he opened up about his strained friendship with his Fast & Furious co-star Tyrese.

In the interview, the wrestler-turned-actor said he has not spoke to Ty since their online feud took over social media. You'll recall, Ty was BIG MAD that The Rock agreed to do his own Fast & Furious spin-off and he let the world know exactly how he felt about it on social media. He said the whole situation is very disappointing and that their "feud" was totally one-sided.

“We haven’t talked at all,” The Rock explained after a caller asked him if he had spoken to his co-star since their feud last year. “That whole thing with Tyrese, it was pretty disappointing because I’ve been friends with Tyrese for a very long time. And, you know, I always feel like a beef requires two people to actually jump in it, and it was really one-sided and he had voiced his opinion a lot on social media.”

The 46-year-old continued: "Apparently, he was going through some stuff too in his personal life. We haven't talked and I don't see where we would, and to me, there's no need to have a conversation."

Yeah, Ty was going through it at the time dealing with a nasty custody battle with his ex-wife Norma Mitchell Gibson over their 11-year-old daughter, Shayla.

However, The Rock said at this point, he's over it...and Tyrese.

“To me, there’s no need to have a conversation,” The Rock added.

Check it:

It's interesting because Ty said he squashed his beef with The Rock after having a heart-to-heart with one of the actor's associates. However, these two still haven't talked it out.

As of the time of this post, Tyrese has not responded.

In another segment, The Rock said his spin-off will help bring "more freshness and longevity" to the Fast & Furious franchise and said he was "not quite sure" whether he'll appear in the 9th film.

Hear what he said about Idris Elba's character being the main villian in his Fast & Furious spin-off below:

All of the Fast & Furious drama seemed to have started when The Rock called an unnamed co-star "chicken sh*t," "unprofessional," and "candy a**" on social media. Fans assumed he was firing shots at his co-star Vin Diesel.

The Baywatch actor was asked what was the most unprofessional behavior he witnessed from Vin on set and if he would ever film a scene with him ever again, he pleaded the fifth.

Peep the clip below:

The Rock also dished on "tension" between himself and fellow WWE star John Cena.

"I had left and he had done a series of interviews and I just felt ... somebody had referenced me and said 'Is Rock ever come back?" and he was saying, 'I'm not quite too sure,' and I didn't like how he said it and it stuck with me," The Rock said. "Years later when I went back, I talked to Vince McMahon and we thought what if we took that and created this thing and I said perfect. Once it was all done, like all silly beef like that, it was all cool."

"I think we squashed that," he added. "In a matter of fact, John is going to star in one of my movies that I'm producing. He's doing great, done great in his transition and really wants to work hard."

A Colordao woman found her family through Ancestry.com and then live tweeted her journey to meeting her mother and siblings. Now, she wants to help others do the same. Read the touching story inside...

Social media and technology are connecting us more and more like never before.

A Colorado woman named Albreanna Watson began a live thread on Twitter to share her journey of finding her biological mother and siblings.

Albreanna was adopted as a baby, but has been on her own since the age of 17 after her adoptive mother died. She had a "closed adoption," so she knew nothing about her biological family.

However, technology stepped in to help her out. She registered with Ancestry.com to take a DNA test in hopes of finding out about her ethnic background. Later, she was contacted by her half-brother who took the same test and made a match.

 

 

She soon discovered she has two half-brothers and one-half sister. And she didn't waste any time hopping on FaceTime to call them up. That's when they decided to meet in Atlanta. They wanted to link up to surprise their mother.

 

 

Albreanna discovered she has two half-brothers and one half-sister. She used FaceTime to call them all, and then decided to meet them in Atlanta and surprise her biological mother.

 

 

Albreanna was SUPER nervous about meeting her biological mother, but once they laid eyes on one another it was magical:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read the full thread here.

After sharing her journey on Twitter, she received over 10 Million views in less than 24 hours. She also received tens of thousands of messages from people from all over the world who shared their own personal journeys and reached out asking for her assistance in helping them find their biological family members. So, she has launched a GoFundMe to raise money to help other people find their families like she did.

She's looking to raise $50,000 to go towards DNA testing, travel expenses and more. She wrote:

I have created #AlbreannaFindMe which allows people to share their stories with me. I want to unite people with their families as well as provide encouragement and a strong support system through the entire process.

The funds raised will go toward the execution of this effort of helping people locate their family members. This includes: research, travel expenses, DNA testing, advertisement which will continue to grow the platform necessary for people who want their stories heard around the world.

This is a very emotional process and I do not want a lack of finances to be the reason why people are not able to fulfill their wish of finding their families so I am asking for assistance in this endeavor to help spread love and support for those who need it!

Shoutout to Albreanna for wanting to help others for such an incredible journey. We wish her nothing but the best!

Serena Williams' return to Wimbledon didn't go how we all wanted. Nonetheless, she's STILL the QUEEN of Tennis. And that's not up for debate. Peep pics from the match and her supporters inside...

 photo SerenaWilliamsDayTwelveChampionshipsWimbledonCPrm8S6lqUOl.jpg

There's NO denying Serena Williams' incredible strength and unbelievable athleticism.

10.5 months after giving birth to her baby girl Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., the 36-year-old athlete made her return to Wimbledon in an effort to win a historic 24th Grand Slam title.

Rena copped her 23rd Grand Slam Title after defeating her big sister Venus Williams at the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant. She has the most major titles in the Open era, sweeping past Steffi Graf. Margaret Court currently holds the all-time record with 24 Grand Slam singles titles and Rena’s right on her tail.

 photo SerenaWilliamsDayTwelveChampionshipsWimbledonht9E8HZfzEbl.jpg

The tennis superstar was up against German player Angelique Kerber for her last match to clinch the trophy. Unfortunately, Rena fell short and Angelique took home her first Wimbledon championship, in a 6-3, 6-3 victory in today's final. Ugh. We must admit, this was a hard one to swallow. She was SO close!

With more than 20 years of slaying the tennis world, Rena's spot as the greatest is already signed, sealed and delivered. Period.

Just her playing in this match was a feat in itself. She literally almost died from birth complications after the birth of her daughter. Now look at her. It's been less than a year and she's back on the tennis court fighting till the end.

She is and will forever be the Queen of Tennis.

After the match, Rena fought back tears as she dedicated her match to all the mothers out there:

Karrueche Tran Admits She Felt Pressure To Have The Perfect Body In PAPER Magazine + Kae & Elise Neal Glam It Up For Beautycon Festival LA

Karrueche Tran opens up about her body image struggles in the newest issue of PAPER magazine. Find out what she said, plus peep pics of Kae and Elise Neal working the carpet at the Beautycon Festival in L.A. inside...

As the world's obsession with Hollywood grows, it seems some actors and actresses will go to the ends of the earth to look their best at all times. As we pick apart our own bodies, we often times look to celebs as the blueprint of physical perfection.

Making it in Hollywood means you have to look a certain way to keep working. And then there's pressure to stay looking that way at all times. Karrueche Tran knows a thing or two about it. The "Claws" actress opens up to PAPER magazine about her insecurities and how she felt pressured to have what society calls the "ideal" body.

 photo IMG_2178.jpg

"I used to think I had to be thick and have big boobs," she admitted. "I thought about getting my boobs done, but I was like one: I don't know how my body's going to react to that, and two: why am I changing who I am because of other peoples' comments? I can represent other girls out there and make them feel confident, which is hard in this world where everyone just wants to be thicc."

 photo IMG_2181.jpg

The "Claws" actress, styling in several Arkan Zakharov ensembles for the spread, said she hopes she can help other girls who are shaped like her to feel confident in their skin no matter what.

"We as a people need to understand society's thought process of what beauty is: a slim waist, a fat booty, thick thighs, big boobs," she told the magazine. "Not everyone has that. That's not average at all, most of the girls who look like that are buying it. It's wrong for these young girls who grow up with this message and think they have to look a certain way."

 photo IMG_2179.jpg

 photo IMG_2177.jpg

Along with tackling her own real world issues, she's also using her platform to speak out about certain issues. "Claws" does a good job at addressing discrimination and politics in a way that's equally digestible, entertaining and, above all, impactful. In one episode, Kae' character Virginia is faced with an unplanned pregnancy. She ultimately chooses abortion - even in the face of pro-life protesters - and she recevied tons of backlash from it.

 photo IMG_2180.jpg

"That was the writers' decision to have that in the story and I'm glad they pushed for that," Kae shared. "Another character says in that scene, 'You guys only care about these babies when they're in the womb, but once they're out in the world you guys don't care about them.' And so it's exactly like what we see in our news today. They want to control our rights and our bodies, but then you don't give a f*ck about these kids who are being taken from their families."

Where's the lie?

Michael B. Jordan is still on vacay and now he's in Italy living it up on a speedboat with friends. Meanwhile, T.I. just copped his wife Tiny Harris a brand new whip for her birthday. Everything inside...

 

A post shared by IB (@industryblitz) on

Just a few days ago, Michael B. Jordan was living his best life on the dance floor inside of a club in St. Tropez. Now, he's soaking up some sun in Italy.

The CREED 2 star is enjoying some downtime off after wrapping up filming the CREED sequel in Philly over the last few months. The YBF hottie and his home/"Ridiculousness" co-host Steelo Brim were spotted having some fun on a speedboat with friends to explore the Positano, Italy coastline.

 

 

Damn he's HOT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, folks aren't feeling Michael's company, specifically the women on the back of the boat. There are pics of MBJ on the boat with the ladies and everyone seems to have something to say about it.

 

 

Yikes.

In other news...

The Black Panther star is reportedly teaming up with Jamie Foxx in the courtroom drama Just Mercy. Jamie is currently in negotiations.

The film adaptation, based on the book “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption,” tells the true story of Bryan Stevenson (Jordan), a gifted young lawyer fighting for equal justice in a flawed legal system. Jamie would star as the death row inmate Michael's character is defending, according to Variety.

We're here for it.

Since it's Cancer season...

 

It's Tiny Harris birthday! And to celebrate, her husband T.I. laced her with some lavish gifts.

The Down South rapper copped her a souped up black on black Mercedes Benz with cranberry seats along with several Christian Louboutin bags in the back seat. And Tiny instantly fell in love with the gifts.

"Thank you so much Mr. Harris @troubleman31 for showing up on MY ACTUAL birthday & showing out!," she captioned on Instagram with a video of her receiving her new ride. "I really really love this car & all the other nice gifts & I just wanted to tell u how thankful I am. Regardless of whatever, you have done more for me & showed me more love than most will ever have a man to do/give in a lifetime & I appreciate you for that! By the way I’m having an amazing birthday! Thank you to everyone who made this day a special one!! #CancerSeason #17yrsWorth"

"What’s understood requires no explanation!!!," Tip captioned. "I’m always here to show up and show out for mines. Regardless of WHATEVER!!! King ain’t never missed a beat!! Happy Gday Mrs H."

 

 

 

 

After getting her gifts, the Xscape singer hit the Atlanta party scene to celebrate another year of life:

 

 

 

The Harris couple goes from make ups to break ups to make ups again. Looks like they're currently on good terms now...even after that video of him all hugged up backstage with a chick went viral.

Tiny filed for divorce in 2016, but the couple has been seemingly working on their relationship.Kind of.

Around this time last year on an episode of "The Grand Hustle," Tip brought Tiny a new sports car after he said their marriage was a "distraction."

At the time the Us or Else rapper said, "Buying Tameka a new car isn't an apology. It is a gesture as a best friend to show how great of a best friend I can be."

"I appreciate Tip making a big gesture just to show me he didn't mean any disrespect," Tiny said after receiving the new whip. "And you know what, the old me might have fallen for it, but this kind of thing doesn't work on me anymore. I'm going to accept the car, of course. It was a very nice gesture, but it doesn't mean we're back together."

Interesting.

Happy Birthday Tiny!

Azealia Banks taped an appearance on Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" and she was NOT happy after wrapping it up. She popped off on the show with claims that they were making colorist jokes. Now, Nick is responding. Find out what he said inside...

Everyone knows nothing is off limits when you go on Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" sketch comedy show.

It's a zero chill zone.

 photo WODN.png

Azealia Banks was tapped to appear on "Wild 'N Out," and after she finished filming, she took to social media to bash the cast about how she was treated on set. So, everyone knows when you go on the show they are going to crack jokes about you. But, according to Hot New Hip Hop, she was only scheduled to perform, NOT to join a team to battle it out with jokes.

Apparently, the cast STILL made fun of her, hurling -- what she called -- colorist jokes at her and she was SUPER pissed about it. Here's what she wrote about her experience:

 photo nickbanks1.png

Then, she hopped on IG stories and started attacking Nick specifically and she may have taken it too far talking about making jokes about Nick having lupus.

Nick responded to her posts:

He posted a screenshot of her IG story with the caption, "Don’t you hate when you create your own storms but forget your umbrella??? @azealiabanks We are praying for you Queen #speedyrecovery #Healing She #Wildnout for real #Karma"

Folks were sounding off about things going on in their lives on social media over the weekend. Go inside to see what Teyana Taylor, R. Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Kelly and Irv Gotti were venting about inside...

Social media was lit over the weekend as several celebrities took to Instagram to speak out and vent about what they've got going on in their lives.  Because, what else are they gonna do?

Last week, Teyana Taylor went on Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" to air out her frustrations with the release of her recently released album K.T.S.E. The Kanye West-produced album was supposed to have a second, extended release, but it never happened and Teyana was blindsided by it.

In the interview, the "3Way" singer said there was no beef or animosity towards Ye because that's her family, but she's still not pleased with the way her album was rolled out. She complained that there was no formal roll out of the album. No visuals. No single. Nothing. And then to not have any of that and only give her fans 23 minutes worth of music, she wasn't feeling it.

Apparently, people took her words and twisted them up, so she hopped on IG to write out exactly how she feels about the album, Kanye and her craft. Check it:

 

For a better clarity of my "publicized emotions" toward my album...I LOVE MY ALBUM and never said that I didnt AND BELIEVE IN MY ALBUM with all of me. My complaints never came from a place of anger but more so from a place of hurt that I felt that I owed the world more. After 5 years of patience I could have anticipated the culture would be hurt that all I had to offer them was 23 mins. I have a very loyal and active fan base that I'm extremely indebted to and that I am extremely dedicated to. Though a shortened version shocked me upon its released date i appreciate my brother Ye for helping me produce my most vulnerable, personal and soulful album to date. I think that our collaboration on this album shows and proves to add to the culture we creatives promise to push forward! I never meant for my passion to be mistaken for ungratefulness however i'm always open to agreeing to disagree, that doesnt take away from the bond I share with not only Ye but all of my G.O.O.D Music family. Yall know ima keep shit a buck! #KTSE and last but not least I want to thank everyone for the love and support of #KTSE!

Another celeb taking to social media to address some issues...

 

In the words of #neneleakes “I said what I said!”

A post shared by Drea Kelly (@officialdreakelly) on

R. Kelly's ex-wife Andrea Kelly is clapping back at the backlash she has been receiving since she opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she endured from ex-husband R. Kelly while they were married.

In an interview with TV One's "Sister Circle," Andrea detailed how she was abused during her entire marriage to the Pied Piper. Since opening up, R. Kelly fans have been harassing her on social media and she got to the point where she's fed up.

The choreographer started by thanking everyone who have supported her since she spoke out and then went IN on trolls who continue to try and silence her.

“By you shaming me and any other victims you’re helping the abuser accomplish their take of belittling, intimidating, and discounting all the abuse they’ve put the #victim and #victims though!” she wrote in part. "I AM A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS! I am a #SURVIVOR OF SEXUAL ABUSE *EMOTIONAL ABUSE* PHYSICAL ABUSE *ECONOMIC ABUSE at the hands of my EX husband.”

Peep her full clapback above.

Also on social media...

 

 

Haha. So many relationship questions I got. And just woke up too. Yess I am completely single. With nobody at all. Yesss. I would get married again. But only if it’s the right woman. And by right I guess I’m looking for a lot. Lol. Bad Sexy Motherfucker. That keeps me looking at her and wanting her. When she is done up. Or when she is sleeping and just waking up. And has to be a cool person. And understanding of what I am doing and getting this money. And if she is that. She gets the world and will spoil the fuck outta her whether she wants it or not. And she must be a RIDER. In good times. But more importantly in bad times. Although. I had enough bad times in my life. I think the rest of it is gonna be all great times. And last. A freaky bitch who loves to FUCK!! Hahah. YESSS I want more kids. A lil girl. But whatever GOD gives me. Is always GREAT. Hope that answered all of your questions. Haha. I couldn’t believe y’all are that interested in that shit. Lol. I had fun answering some of the questions. Will do it again when I have more free time.

Record exec Irv Gotti wants everyone to know he's now a single man after calling it quits with his ex-wife Deb Lorenzo. Now, he's detailing what type of woman he wants and what qualities she has to have to make him settle down again.

Around this time last year, he was rumored to be dating former Taz Angel Ashely Martelle, but they must have broken up.

Azealia Banks Cancels Album After IG Feud With Nick Cannon Over Drama-Filled 'Wild 'N Out' Appearance, Has Words For Black Men

Azealia Banks just shelved her upcoming Fantasea II album after she made claims that she was ambushed by Nick Cannon and the 'Wild 'N Out' cast during an appearance. Deets inside...

 

Azealia Banks filmed an episode of Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" recently and after the taping she hopped on social media to air out her frustrations about the appearance.

According to the rapper, the "Wild 'N Out" cast hurled colorist jokes at her, called her "ugly," and it had her super in her feelings. It's unclear what her exact role was on the show. According to reports, she was only scheduled to perform, NOT to join a team to battle it out with jokes.

Either way, everyone knows when you go on this show it's a possibility you could get roasted with jokes. It just comes with being on the show. Even host Nick Cannon has been roasted relentlessly. However, Azealia says she was never asked to come there for said roasting.  She and her team were only told to prepare for a performance and games hosted by Lil Yachty (who she said was cool).  She also revealed she didn't get paid for the appearance, and she's not letting it air.

In her social media posts, Azealia went as far as clowning Nick over having Lupus, writing, "If I were to make fun of Nick Cannon for having lupus and being weak and sickly.....if I made a joke that said he'd be dead by the end of the year....Then Azealia Banks is the bad guy....Right?"

The "Wild 'N Out" honcho hopped on IG to respond to Banks, writing, "Don't you hate when you create your own storms but forget your umbrella?? We are praying for you Queen. #speedyrecovery #Healing She #Wildnout for real #Karma."

Well now, she has decided to shelf her upcoming 2nd studio album Fantasea II until...well, whenever she feels like it:

Then, she went in on black men again and also fired another low blow at Nick:

Welp.  Even a completely crazy person (not saying this is Azealia, per se) has valid points from time to time.  But will people cape for her, especially considering how she often crosses the line? We shall see.

Then, she fired a shot at daytime talk show host Wendy Williams, wishing death on her like she did Nick:

Comedians Michael Blackson and "Wild 'N Out" comedian B. Simone commented on the situation. And A. Banks responded:
