Lenny Kravitz reacts to #penisgate controversy
Lenny Kravitz found himself in quite the embarrassing situation recently when, during a concert in Sweden, the rock star’s pants split and exposed his uncovered crotch for the whole world and some paparazzi cameras to see. Since then, photos of his genitals have nearly broken the internet. And while many stars would still be blushing in silence over the photos, videos and memes, Kravitz recently decided to give a lighthearted reaction to the controversy.
The incident happened when Kravitz was onstage at Gröna Lund as part of his Strut World Tour. When he crouched down swiftly during one of his songs, his leather pants split right at his crotch. Kravitz wasn’t wearing any underwear, so his penis was immediately exposed and it also appears that he was wearing what many assumed to be a cock ring.

After photos and video of what has been dubbed the “penisgate” incident surfaced, Kravitz remained silent while the rest of the world turned his public exposure into countless memes and gifs.

But Kravitz finally decided to share his sweet and simple reaction with the world via his Instagram page. 
LOL!

Nicki Minaj Immortalized With Madame Tussauds Wax Figure, Calls It “Iconic”
Nicki Minaj, or rather her likeness, was immortalized by international wax museum Madame Tussauds with a wax figure. The rapper said that the inclusion of her in the museum’s celebrity lineup was “iconic” and shared her joy with fans on Instagram.

Minaj’s figure was unveiled at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Las Vegas Tuesday (August 4). The likeness featured the same outfit and one of the poses Minaj performed in her popular “Anaconda” video. Minaj is the first female rapper to receive the wax treatment by Madame Tussauds, and she was just as surprised as the rest of us.
“Had no idea they were really doing this. I would’ve went to Vegas for this. #HappyBirthdayAnaconda Madam Tussauds Wax Figure- whoever did this,” said Minaj in a caption of one of the photos on Instagram.
The unveiling marked the one-year anniversary of the release of the “Anaconda” single.


Bishop T.D. Jakes says The Black church changing stance on LGBT community
There’s long been a negative and tense history between the black church and the LGBT communities in America. And even though the LGBT rights movement has grown tremendously over the past few years and same-sex marriage has been legalized nationwide, there’s still a common thought that Black Christians are hostile and homophobic towards the LGBT community. However, Bishop T.D. Jakes recently sat down for an interview with “HuffPost Live,” and argued that the Black church is slowly progressing on the idea of sexuality.

While chatting with host Marc Lamont-Hill, Jakes explained that he thinks the relationship between the Black church and the LGBT community is improving.

“I think that it’s going to be diverse from church to church, every church has a different opinion on the issue and every gay person is different. And I think that to speak that the church, the Black church, the White church — or any kind of church you wanna call it — are all the same, is totally not true, ” Jakes said.
Jakes then explained that he believes that churches, although they shouldn’t be turning away people, have the right to worship as they see fit. And on the other hand, LGBT people have the right to find churches that embrace them and fit their beliefs.

“LGBTs of different types and sorts have to find a place of worship that reflects what your views are and what you believe like anyone else,” he said. “And the church should have its own convictions and values.”

Jakes then shared his own thinking on the matter and shared that it’s “evolved and evolving.”
“I think that where I am is to better understand we, the church, bought into the myth that this is a Christian nation,” Jakes said. And once you get past that …once you begin to understand that democracy, that a republic actually, is designed to be an overarching system to protect our unique nuances, then we no longer look to public policy to reflect biblical ethics.

“If we can divide, or what you would call separation of church and state, then we can dwell together more effectively because atheists, agnostics, Jews, all types of people, Muslims, pay into the government, the government then cannot reflect one particular view over another just because we’re the dominant group of religious people in [this] country because those numbers are changing every day. We need a neutralized government that protects our right to disagree with one another and agree with one another.”


New Music & Video: KeKe Wyatt Is Love Sick In “Lie Under You” Video
Former “R&B Diva: Atlanta” star KeKe Wyatt has returned with brand new visuals for her track “Lie Under You,” the follow-up cut to “Fall in Love," both from her self-titled EP released last year.
The former reality star croons over the country-inspired ballad about missing her significant other as she lies in the back of a pick-up truck and wonders through the forest. She sings,

Ohh You're you're like a bottle of wine/You get better with time/All I need, is a glass of you/Whoa, you're like a ray of sunshine/In the noon time /All I wanna do is lie under you

Get love sick with KeKe HERE!
Thoughts?


AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘BUSTED COVERAGE’
I see you’re a big proponent of covering only the top half of things. Just one man’s opinion but perhaps you should rethink that strategy.


HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
