Kim Kardashian on her post-baby body: ‘My body was mush, I felt like Gumby’
Kim Kardashian got (wait for it…) naked! This time she got naked-ish for the cover the GQ’s July issue. The editorial was shot by Mert & Marcus, and I guess this is what Kim has been previewing on her social media for a few weeks. She was excited about dropping trou for GQ. Seeing Kim semi-naked or mostly naked on a magazine cover is, at this point, sort of mundane? I’m saying that as someone who enjoys discussing magazine editorials, so let me say this: it’s more interesting when Kim gets to work with mag stylists who know what they’re doing and style her in interesting ways. This isn’t that.
GQ hasn’t released the interview yet, but People Magazine does have an exclusive with Kim. She talks about losing the baby weight, body image and more. Some highlights:
She hated how big she was after she gave birth to Saint: “I love curves, but I don’t love my butt and my hips being so big. I totally have insecurities. There was a moment after [the birth] when my body was mush. I felt like Gumby. There was definitely a moment when I looked in the mirror and I was like, ‘I am never going to be the same.’ ”
She wouldn’t even let Kanye see her butt: “My butt was huge. I would walk backwards so he couldn’t see. And I would be so insecure about changing in a fitting like, ‘Babe, you can’t look at me!’ ”
Kanye is a motivator: “I’d know when I was starting to look better because my husband would be like, ‘Babe, you look so good!’ he would never make me feel insecure. But I would always know when he was seeing a difference….He loves that my ass is bigger. And he loves when my boobs get bigger. When I was breast feeding, they were bigger than my babies’ heads!”
She says she’s around 132 lbs now: “I want to get back down to 120. My butt and my hips are the last to go, but I’m not stopping! Anyone who has had kids knows your body changes and it’s hard to get your body back in shape. It takes so much determination and mental and physical power and energy. After having two kids, and being able to get in shape and still feel good about myself, I’ve never felt better. I worked my ass off, I’ve altered my life and I’m proud of that.”
WHATEVS!
King James and The Cavaliers Defeat Warriors to Win Their First N.B.A. Title!
OAKLAND, Calif. — Vilified when he left and celebrated when he returned, LeBron James had spent the past two seasons lugging his city’s championship dreams like a bag of rocks. The weight had only grown more cumbersome — the weight of history, of disappointment, of missed opportunities.
James could feel it all on his sturdy shoulders.
On Sunday night, before a dazed and defeated crowd at Oracle Arena, James delivered on the grandest stage of his superhuman career, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship in franchise history with a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the N.B.A. finals.
James collected 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to punctuate one of the most remarkable individual performances in finals history. James, who was named the finals’ most valuable player, got ample help from his teammate Kyrie Irving, whose 3-pointer with 53 seconds remaining gave the Cavaliers the lead — and an improbable title.
Improbable because the Cavaliers became the first team to rally from a 3-1 series deficit in the finals to win a championship. Improbable because the Warriors, after setting an N.B.A. record with 73 victories in the regular season, had spent months making the case that they are the most dominant team since Dr. James Naismith first affixed a peach basket to a wall.
And improbable, above all, because of Cleveland’s ragtag history as an also-ran. Not since 1964, when the Browns won the N.F.L. championship, had the city claimed a major sports title.
James, who grew up in nearby Akron, has forever changed all of that. He stuffed the series with thunderous dunks and fadeaway jumpers, blocked shots and glowering expressions, towing his teammates along in his ferocious wake. James won two championships with the Miami Heat, but this was his first with the Cavaliers — and his first for Ohio.
Not even the Warriors, who were pursuing back-to-back championships in a repeat of last year’s finals matchup, could slow his march.
Irving finished with 26 points for the Cavaliers, who survived three elimination games. In Cleveland, fans jammed the streets around Quicken Loans Arena for a watch party from afar.
Draymond Green had 32 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists for the Warriors, and Stephen Curry scored 17 points but shot just 6 of 19 from the field. In the final minute, Curry missed a 3-pointer that would have tied the game. With 10.6 seconds left, James made 1 of 2 free throws to seal the win.
“It hurts, man,” Curry said.
The Cavaliers formed a raucous mob at the buzzer — joy and disbelief, all at once. On the postgame dais, James clutched the championship trophy to his chest and choked back tears. At his news conference, he wore one of the nets around his neck.
“I came back for a reason,” James said. “I came back to bring a championship to our city.”
From the moment the Warriors set about stalking the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for the best regular-season record in league history, they cautioned that it would mean almost nothing without a championship, too. The Warriors were greedy — they wanted all the records, all the wins and another trophy at the end.
“We’re stunned,” Coach Steve Kerr said. “We thought we were going to win.”
The Warriors found their postseason journey to be more jagged than they imagined. The tenor of the team’s chase was jarred off course in the first game of the playoffs, when Curry injured his right ankle. Three games later, he slipped on a wet spot against the Houston Rockets, spraining his right knee.
Though Curry eventually returned to help guide the Warriors back to the finals, thanks in part to a thrilling comeback against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference finals, Curry lacked his usual consistency. More trouble brewed against the Cavaliers.
Green had to watch Game 5 from a baseball stadium after he was suspended for collecting too many flagrant fouls. Andrew Bogut, their the Warriors’ starting center, injured his knee and missed the final two games of the series. Andre Iguodala, James’s primary defender, tweaked his back in Game 6.
As for Curry, his finals experience was an obstacle course of long-limbed defenders (he entered Game 7 shooting 41.9 percent from the field), spats with officials (he chucked his mouth guard after he was ejected from Game 6) and volleys from critics, who jabbed at his poor shooting.
The Cavaliers were no strangers to adversity, either. Sensing what he described as dysfunction, General Manager David Griffin fired the team’s head coach, David Blatt, midway through the season and replaced him with Tyronn Lue, one of Blatt’s assistants. Griffin made the move despite the Cavaliers’ sitting firmly atop the Eastern Conference standings.
It was championship or bust for these Cavaliers, who, make no mistake, were formed in James’s shadow. Not that his journey was without its share of hard feelings and trapdoors.
Drafted by the Cavaliers in 2003, James famously left for the Heat as a free agent in 2010. Fans who felt scorned by his departure burned replicas of his jersey in the streets of Cleveland. But James rejoined with the Cavaliers in 2014, vowing to lift the franchise to new heights, to do something that had never been done.
“I don’t think people imagined it this way — the route that we’ve taken — and that’s fine,” James said Saturday. “Like I always say, every day is not a bed of roses, and you have to figure out how to get away from the thorns and the things of that nature to make the sunshine.”
Nobody seemed consumed by the pressure. Kerr arrived at the arena following his usual game-day session of hot yoga with Luke Walton, one of his assistants.
The crowd stood from the opening minutes. After James batted an attempted layup by Curry into expensive row of courtside seats, Curry got into James’s face. An official had to separate them. Green, meanwhile, went 5 of 5 from 3-point range and scored 22 points to guide the Warriors to a 49-42 halftime lead.
The Cavaliers rallied in the third quarter. After Curry committed a turnover, Irving raced away for an acrobatic layup, drawing a foul for good measure. His free throw gave the Cavaliers a 5-point lead. A small subset of fans at Oracle started chanting, “Let’s go, Cavs!”

But neither team could find any separation, at least not until James and Irving emerged in the closing moments, not until it mattered most.
#RHOA: What Did the Housewives Do Before ‘RHoA’?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast is making bank now thanks to their Bravolebrity status, but before the women found fame on reality TV, many of them held down shockingly normal jobs.
From working as an in-demand stripper to clocking hours as a high-powered entertainment attorney, NeNe Leakes and her ilk did whatever they could to earn a buck before those big, fat checks started rolling in.
NeNe Leakes
Before earning a reported $2 million per season for her work on RHoA, NeNe was workin’ the pole as a stripper named “Silk” in Atlanta.
While some women might be ashamed of a past like that, NeNe has always been proud of her hustle and the fact she worked her tail off as a single mom to care for her son, Bryson.
Reflecting on her early job she said, “I was putting my son through private school. I knew how to talk game to get the money from the guys.”
The strippper stint ended up being a blessing in disguise for the now 48-year-old, who met her husband Gregg in da club. The rest, as they say, is history.
Porsha Williams
Porsha Williams has the distinction of being the most sheltered lady of the bunch.
So far as we know, she pretty much went from her mother’s house to now-ex-husband Kordell Stewart’s house when the pair married in 2011, and never really had to earn a living to support herself.
However, since divorcing the NFL great in 2013, the 33-year-old has really stepped up her game. In addition to the income she now generates from RHoA, she works hard as a well-liked Dish Nation host and has her own line of lingerie and hair extensions.
Porsha may have gotten a slow start, but she’s all work, work, work now, and that’s something we can really respect.
Kandi Burruss
Was there ever a point in time when Kandi Burruss was not working?
The Grammy-winning recording artist got an early start in the workforce as one of the founding members of Xscape, and she’s been earning a solid living ever since.
In her post-girl group days the mom of two has written tracks for artists like Destiny’s Child and TLC, and she’s still one of the most in-demand writers in the biz.
Though Kandi’s own singing career has taken a back seat lately, she’s currently managing two groups hopefully destined for super-stardom.
Oh, and the 40-year-old also has a sex toy line, a chain of successful clothing boutiques, and a restaurant in the works.
Phaedra Parks
The only gal who might rival Kandi in the career department is her one-time BFF, Phaedra Parks.
The 42-year-old worked as a successful entertainment attorney before joining RHoA, and she still practices law to this day.
In addition, the Georgia is now also an author, an aspiring mortician and funeral director, and the co-creator of the Phine Body workout DVDs.
As a mother to two young boys, Phaedra has also donated much of her time and resources to bettering the lives of young black men in the wake of things like the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown tragedies.
Cynthia Bailey
Cynthia Bailey was used to a life in front of the camera before she joined RHoA at the start of Season 3.
The Alabama native flew to New York City as a teen and began working as a model. Though she doesn’t model as much anymore, the 49-year-old has graced the covers of Essence and Ebony to name a few, and has appeared in editorials for Vogue.
These days Cyn has taken what she learned in the fashion world and parlayed it into The Bailey Agency School of Fashion and her successful eyewear and handbag lines.
Kenya Moore
Like Cynthia, Kenya Moore got by with a little help from her gorgeous looks in her pre-RHoA days.
The 45-year-old rose the beauty queen ranks before winning Miss USA in 1993. After that, she transitioned to acting, appearing in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Waiting to Exhale, and more. She’s also produced various projects, including her ill-fated Life Twirls On pilot.
Now the Detroit native has added booty guru and hair care expert to her resume, and we have a feeling she’s not done yet.
Sheree Whitfield
Sheree Whitfield had it made as an NFL wife when she joined RHoA in 2008, and she was an aspiring fashion designer as well.
Though her marriage to Bob Whitfield soon crumbled and her She By Sheree line failed, the 46-year-old landed on her feet.
She returned to RHoA in Season 8 after a brief break, and now counts herself as an author and t-shirt designer.
They’ll all be back for Season 9 as well!
#EMPIRE: Lee Daniels' 'The Butler' Now Involved in Effort to Free "We Shall Overcome" from Copyright
(via THR) According to an amended complaint, the 2013 film wanted to make heavy use of the anthem but couldn't thanks to a $100,000 price tag.
A major motion picture that covered the civil rights era didn't have much of the iconic anthem of the generation, and now a lawsuit that seeks to establish "We Shall Overcome" is in the public domain will address that.
On Friday, Butler Films joined documentary filmmakers in a putative class-action brought against The Richmond Organization and Ludlow Music, which assert copyright dominion over a song whose roots connect to American folk singer Pete Seeger and the labor movement of the 1940s. The lawsuit challenges copyright registrations made in the 1960s.
Now, Lee Daniels' The Butler is getting involved. According to an amended complaint filed today, the 2013 film distributed by The Weinstein Co. originally was going to use "We Shall Overcome" in several crucial scenes, including as background music to archival footage as well as scenes depicting the 1963 riots in Birmingham, Alabama, the 1965 riots in Selma, Alabama, the conflict that year at the Pettus Bridge, and the 1968 riots in Washington following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Permission was sought from the publishers on at least four occasions, according to the complaint, but defendants "repeatedly stonewalled and rebuffed" attempts to license "We Shall Overcome" for use in The Butler.
Finally, contact was made.
"After a series of communications between Plaintiff Butler and Defendants, eventually, on September 27, 2012, Defendants advised Plaintiff that Defendants should and could charge Plaintiff the staggering sum of $100,000 for Plaintiff Butler’s proposed uses of We Shall Overcome in The Butler," states the complaint.
That was apparently too much for the film's budget, and after further negotiations where an offer was made of $50,000 for two uses of the song, a synch license was agreed to where the song would be used for no more than 10 seconds for $15,000.
"In fact, it is very difficult to even hear the use of the Song when watching the movie knowing exactly where the Song is played in the movie," continues the complaint.
Some may think this is evidence of greed, though royalties from the song are earmarked for the Highlander Research and Education Center to support art and research projects in the African-American community as well as the preservation of Civil Rights Movement documents. On the other hand, it's also said in the complaint that the Butler filmmakers offered to donate a portion of proceeds from the premiere to Highlander.
Regardless, the case turns on copyright issues and the validity of Ludlow's 1960s registrations on the song. Even though some of the melody and lyrics may already have been published courtesy of Seeger and others, the registrations claim entitlement to an "unpublished derivative work."
The defendants aren't rolling over on this one. They've retained Paul LiCalsi at Robins Kaplan, a respected litigator whose most famous client is Apple Corps Limited, the company established by The Beatles.
In a joint proposed schedule that was filed with the court, LiCalsi previewed what the defense will be in this litigation.
"This Court can find as a matter of law that the prima facie valid copyright registrations in the 1969 and 1963 registrations owned by Ludlow Music contain sufficiently original expression which constitutes a more-than merely trivial 'distinguishable variation' from any predecessor version of the Song that may be in the public domain," argues the defendants.
In other words, even if there's matter in the public domain, a derivative is protected as maybe articulated in this 2012 post about Sherlock Holmes.
Asked to comment about this, plaintiffs' attorney Randall Newman responded, "Even if the Defendants' statement was accurate (which we dispute), the 1960 and 1963 copyright applications contained numerous false and misleading statements that would render those copyright registrations invalid. Moreover, after the 1960 and 1963 copyrights were registered, the melody and lyrics were printed without a proper copyright notice resulting in forfeiture of the 1960 and 1963 copyrights."
The defendants dispute the divesting of copyrights, saying in their papers that the cited sources had copyright notices, and regardless, add, "Plaintiff has failed to plausibly plead that any of the publications listed in the Complaint were printed or published with the permission of the copyright owner (Ludlow Music) or the authors of the Song — all such allegations are made "upon information and belief" — and a reliance on pure, unsupported speculation in this regard cannot sustain Plaintiff's claims."
In the complaint demanding that "We Shall Overcome" be ruled out of copyright, a passage from Pete Seeger's 1963 book is quoted where he writes, "In the early ‘60s our publishers said to us, 'If you don’t copyright this now, some Hollywood types will have a version out next year like 'Come on Baby, We shall overcome tonight.'"
Funny enough, it's now a Hollywood type like Lee Daniels who is joining the effort to make "We Shall Overcome" freely available while it's the defendant who will be using the argument that a derivative version is what saves the song from the public domain.

SADNESS; 'Star Trek' actor Anton Yelchin killed by own car at age 27
(AP) — Anton Yelchin, a rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new "Star Trek" films, was killed by his own car as it rolled backward down his driveway early Sunday, police and his publicist said.
The car pinned Yelchin, 27, against a brick mailbox pillar and a security fence at his home in Studio City, according to Los Angeles police Officer Jenny Hosier. He had gotten out of the vehicle momentarily, but police did not say why he was behind it when it started rolling.
Yelchin was on his way to meet friends for a rehearsal, Hosier said. When he didn't show up, the group came to his home and found him dead.
The freak accident tragically cuts short the promising career of an actor whom audiences were still getting to know.
Yelchin began acting as a child, taking small roles in independent films and various television shows, such as "ER," ''The Practice," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." His breakout big-screen role came opposite Anthony Hopkins in 2001's "Hearts in Atlantis."
He transitioned into teenage roles in films such as the crime thriller "Alpha Dog" and the teen comedy "Charlie Bartlett." He also played a young Kyle Reese in 2009's "Terminator Salvation."
Yelchin, an only child, was born in Russia. His parents were professional figure skaters who moved the family to the United States when Yelchin was a baby. He briefly flirted with skating lessons, too, before discovering that he wasn't very skilled on the ice. That led him to acting class.
"I loved the improvisation part of it the most, because it was a lot like just playing around with stuff. There was something about it that I just felt completely comfortable doing and happy doing," Yelchin told The Associated Press in 2011 while promoting the romantic drama "Like Crazy." He starred opposite Felicity Jones.
"(My father) still wanted me to apply to college and stuff, and I did," Yelchin said. "But this is what I wanted."
His biggest role to date has been in the rebooted "Star Trek" films as the heavily accented navigator Chekov, for which he was able to draw on his Russian roots. The third film in the series, "Star Trek Beyond," comes out in July.
"What's great about him is he can do anything. He's a chameleon. He can do bigger movies or smaller, more intimate ones," ''Like Crazy" director Drake Doremus told the AP in 2011. "There are a lot of people who can't, who can only do one or the other. ... That's what blows my mind."
Yelchin transitioned between the big sci-fi franchise and voicing a part for "The Smurfs." He also appeared in more eccentric and artier fare, like Jim Jarmusch's vampire film "Only Lovers Left Alive" and Jeremy Saulnier's horror thriller "Green Room," a cult favorite that came out earlier this year.
The actor's publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed his death and said his family requests privacy.
'Finding Dory' Drowns Animated Box Office Records With $136 Million Opening
Disney finds itself atop the weekend box office for the eleventh time this year, this time it's the Pixar brand coming up big with Finding Dory. The release is another 2016 animated hit for the studio on the heels of Zootopia, as Dory broke its share of box office records this weekend including the largest opening weekend for an animated feature. It was also a good weekend for the week's other new wide release, the action-comedy Central Intelligence starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, which could be looking at a $100+ million domestic run after its opening weekend. Meanwhile, last weekend's new releases didn't exactly deliver the goods in their sophomore sessions.
Scoring a number one finish for the weekend and a record opening for an animated feature, Disney and Pixar's Finding Dory brought in an estimated $136.1 million this weekend from 4,305 theaters for a $31,634 per theater average. It's an opening comparable to the 90+% bumps both sequels in the Toy Story franchise saw over their predecessors with Dory's opening weekend serving as a 93.8% bump over Finding Nemo's $70.2 million opening back in 2003.
Dory also scored an "A" CinemaScore and played to an audience that was 45% male vs. 55% female. The age breakdown saw 65% of the audience being made up by families and 32% of the overall audience made up of children 12 and under.
On the record front, on top of the animated opening weekend record, Dory broke the record for the largest single day and opening day for an animated film with its opening day totaling an estimated $54.9 million. Included in that opening day total is $9.2 million in Thursday previews, also a record for an animated feature. Of course, it's a bit of a conflict to call both items "records" when you consider Dory wouldn't hold the single day record over Shrek the Third's $47 million if you don't include the additional $9.2 million. Also going down was the record for the largest per theater average for a wide opening animated release, topping Shrek the Third's $29,507 average after it opened to a then record of $121.6 million from 4,122 theaters.
Dory also opened in 29 international territories this weekend scoring an estimated $50 million for a global opening gross of $186.2 million. Its international roll-out includes the largest Pixar opening ever in China ($17.5M) and the biggest Disney/Pixar opening weekend ever in Australia ($7.6M). The release, so far, makes up 32% of the international marketplace with openings in France and Spain taking place next weekend along with the rest of Europe in the coming weeks.
Finishing in second, the Warner Bros. release of Central Intelligence starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart scored an estimated $34.5 million for the three-day weekend, a solid start for the comedy. In terms of demographics, the audience was pretty much split down the middle, 49% male vs. 51% female, and it received a solid, "A-" CinemaScore from opening day audiences. The CinemaScore is an improvement over the "B" Get Hard received, while opening with $33.8 million and finishing its domestic run just over $90 million. The score is closer to the "A" received by the first Ride Along, which managed a 3+ multiplier suggesting Central Intelligence could be looking at a domestic run over $100 million.
Looking at the sophomore session for last weekend's new openers isn't quite as pretty as this weekend's new releases. The Conjuring 2 dipped 61.5% after its #1 finish, bringing in an estimated $15.5 million. That's a much larger drop than The Conjuring (46.9%) and even Annabelle (57.3%).
Now You See Me 2 fell 56.9% for an estimated $9.6 million, much steeper than the first film's 35% drop, but nothing on the board really compares to Warcraft's second weekend.
#RIP: P.M. Dawn's Prince Be Dies Of Kidney Disease
"I'd Die Without You" and "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss" was on everyone's mixtapes in the 90's. Now, the Jersey City hip-hop duo that may have been ahead of its time, has lost half of its voice.
Prince Be (Attrell Cordes) has died at 46 of kidney disease, and he also reportedly suffered from diabetes. He had been struggling with his health for a very long time, this according to bandmate Doc G.
Doc took to his Facebook page to pour out his heart saying:
The duo was known for mixing traditional hip hop with sensitive and positive lyrics and melodies (much like Drake does today) over vibed out beats. Definitely a unique sound in the 90's.
2016 has been one of the roughest years yet. Our condolences to Doc G. and the friends and family of Prince B.
Bobby Brown Believes Nick Gordon Was Whitney Houston's Drug Dealer
In a newly leaked excerpt from Bobby Brown's new memoir, Every Little Step: My Story: Bobby Brown, Bobby suspects his daughter's ex boyfriend Nick Gordon may have actually been Whitney Houston's drug dealer...
Excerpt provided by iHeartRadio
"It didn't make any sense to me why my ex-wife would let some nearly grown-a** man live in the house with my thirteen- or fourteen-year-old daughter...I heard stories from some of my friends in Atlanta that he used to hang around Krissi's middle school, which was extremely suspicious to me because he was at least five years older than the middle schoolers," Bobby wrote in the memoir.
He continued, "What would a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old want with middle schoolers?"
When Bobby would explain his reservations for Nick to Whitney, she would try to ensure Bobby that Nick was harmless. But, he wasn't buying any of that.
"I didn't have enough information about him to be comfortable with the arrangement, I started to suspect that his presence was more about Whitney than Krissi--I began to believe he was providing my ex-wife with drugs."
And you did what BOBBY? Nothing! STFU!………………In the meantime!
This week, Bobby Brown sat down with Larry King on “Larry King Now” and responded to Whitney Houston’s mother Cissy calling his recent conversation with Robin Roberts “disturbing.” He says,
I think Ms. Houston is going through the same thing I’m going through.
Bobby Brown also tells Larry that he’d like to rekindle a relationship with the Houston family, and is willing to meet with them, admitting that he
reached out several times before, but there’s no love lost from me. I respect and love that whole family and I’d hope that they know that. But my life has to go on and I’d like to stay well.
Bobby Brown’s episode premieres Wednesday, June 29th at 11am PST/ 2pm EST on www.ora.tv/larrykingnow.
