Amber Rose Sides With Kanye West In Taylor Swift Feud
Although she says she’s not the biggest fan of Kanye West, Amber Rose sides with her ex as she weighed in on the controversy between him and Taylor Swift, during a recent episode of The Amber Rose Show.
She recalls dating Kanye at the start of his ongoing feud with Taylor – at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. She insists it is something that he’d never put himself in the position too go through again.
“I was next to him at the VMAs that year. I remember the repercussions after that,” she says. “He was so remorseful. I mean he really felt so bad, because it wasn’t about Taylor. It was about Beyoncé and her video.”
He came under fire over the incident, and backlash he received included Lady Gaga canceling their co-headlining Fame Kills Tour.
“He really went through a lot of bulls**t, and I know that Kanye would never, ever go through that again by not calling Taylor and saying ‘Heads up, I’m about to kind of go write this verse real quick, just want to make sure you’re cool with it,’” she added.
Kanye and Taylor were later able to bury the hatchet since the VMA moment, but things took a turn following the release of his single, “Famous,” earlier this year – with Taylor saying she did not approve the song’s lyric: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b***h famous.”
SHOCKER: In former RHoA cast member News: Ed Hartwell Files For DIVORCE From Keshia Knight Pulliam!
This is a SHOCK for sure. Our friends over at TheYBF.com has got the Tea that former RHoA supporting cast member and former hubby of Lisa Hartwell Ed has filed for DIVORCE from Keisha Knight Pulliam.
He filed divorce papers in a Fulton County, Georgia courthouse this morning. He filed the divorce complaint under Edgerton Hartwell II and cited irreconcilable differences. The decision to split comes less than eight months after his and wife Keshia Knight Pulliam's surprise New Year's Eve wedding.
At the time Keshia was not yet aware that he has filed for divorce. She also has no idea Ed simply wants out of the marriage and to remain single.
The two having a few marital issues did not come as much of a surprise to those who are VERY close to the couple. Sources tell YBF they noticed constant bickering going on. They’re told an all out divorce, though, was unexpected.
They have done a good job not to comment publicly on any problems.
At least one of the issues stems from Ed feeling like Keshia acts in a "spoiled" way, something he knew before he married her after four months of dating. Apparently, he has a history of acting impulsively, i.e. that surprise wedding after just a few months of dating.
They did not spend his birthday together on May 7th.
Keshia recently revealed she's pregnant with her and Ed's first child, and it's a girl. She is due January 2017.
All I can say is WOW….I wish everybody especially the soon coming Baby well!
Interestingly, Ed has also said via his rep, “Right now, the only thing I want is a paternity test for the baby.”
Wow. We don't see this ending well, especially for Keisha who will likely be embarrassed since she doesn't usually air her dirty laundry publicly.
Keshia & Ed met while hitting the party circuit in Atlanta, and soon exchanged numbers during one event. The rest was history.
#EMPIRE: 'Empire' season 3 spoilers: Fox casts actors to play young Cookie and Lucious
The cast of the upcoming season of "Empire" just got a little bigger. It has been revealed that Ajiona Alexus and Jeremy Carver will respectively play a young Cookie and Lucious.
The news comes from Deadline, who also reports that Ezri Walker has likewise landed a recurring role. Walker will bring to life the character of Zeah, who has "an edge and real talent as a rapper. With his high GPA and serious smarts, this teenager finds himself torn between a future at an elite university and a career at Empire under the guidance of the legendary Lucious Lyon."
On the other hand, Alexus will play a young Cookie who goes to Catholic school and who is as pretty as she is innocent. She will find herself attracted to a young Lucious, played by Carver, who possesses an amazing voice and a bad boy image.
But these three are not the only newcomers to the Fox series. Entertainment Weekly has exclusively learned that Kid Cudi has been tapped to play a character named Gram, an all-around rival of Hakeem (Bryshere Gray). Gram is an equally talented rapper, who might threaten Hakeem. It also doesn't help that Gram is dating Tiana (Serayah McNeill), Hakeem's ex-girlfriend.
Season 3 is shaping up to be an exciting prospect for viewers. Not only will it introduce new competition for one of the show's stars but it will also show how it all began between Lucious and Cookie. There has been some speculation that the couple's romance will be given a bit of focus in the upcoming season, especially since Cookie has given up on Lucious after he married Anika (Grace Gealey).
In other cast news, it was previously reported that French Montana has also been added to the mix, playing a character named Vaughn, a big player in the music industry and one of Lucious' confidants.
"Empire" season 3 will premiere on Sept. 21, Wednesday, on FOX.

Michael Jordan Breaks His Silence On Police-Related Violence And Racial Tensions, Donates $2 Million
In wake of the police shootings that have taken place over the last month, Michael Jordan, who has refrained from opening up about his political beliefs, has broken his silence on the country’s mounting racial and social unrest.
“As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers,” Jordan writes in a one-page letter via The Undefeated. “I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.”
He also used the letter to announce that he’s donating $1 million each to two organizations working to build trust between law enforcement and the communities in which they work — the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Institute for Community-Police Relations. Both groups were informed about the donations Sunday night.
“Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem, I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference,” Jordan continued. “Over the past three decades I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement officers who protect me and my family. I have the greatest respect for their sacrifice and service. I also recognize that for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out in the hope that we can come together as Americans, and through peaceful dialogue and education, achieve constructive change.”
He added: “I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and supported.”
Jordan lost his father, James Jordan, during a roadside robbery in North Carolina in 1993, in which he was murdered by two men. One of the men convicted in the killing is eligible for parole this year.
According to The Undefeated, a spokeswoman said that Jordan’s decision to go public with his statement and donation was made about two weeks ago, but was delayed after learning that the NBA would relocate the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte due to North Carolina’s bathroom bill – which doesn’t afford protections to those in the LGBT community. Jordan, she said, did not want his announcement to take away from the focus on the LGBT community.
In closing, Jordan wrote:
“We are privileged to live in the world’s greatest country – a country that has provided my family and me the greatest of opportunities. The problems we face didn’t happen overnight and they won’t be solved tomorrow, but if we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities.”
Jennifer Lopez Had SO Many Famous Friends Around As She Celebrated Her 47th Birthday
Kim Kardashian and Calvin Harris were there (what did they talk about?), and of course, BFF Leah Remini and longtime boyfriend Casper Smart. There was also a blast from the past with Fat Joe attending. Even soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo took a break from his post-Euro-2016 vacation to visit the US for Jennifer's gathering.
And because J Lo is J Lo, she partied two days in a row! First wearing a custom Balmain brown dress that showed off her impressive abs a day before her real birthday, and then on Sunday July 10, in a sparkly low-cut blue Zuhair Murad gown at the rooftop of the MGM Grand Hotel for a karaoke-filled night.
Rihanna Lands Major Role In A&E’s Hit Triller ‘Bates Motel’
Have you seen “Bates Motel” on A&E yet? Well if not, you might want to catch up!
The hit thriller, based on the characters of Alfred Hitchcocks groundbreaking 1960 film Pyscho, is getting some major star power behind it’s upcoming farewell season.
Announced on Twitter, Rihanna revealed to fans that she will be joining the series’ fifth and final season. The international superstar is set to take on the role of Marion Crane, the famous character played by Janet Leigh in Psycho.
Rihanna announced the news with a surprise video at Comic-Con. “It’s your girl RiRi,” she said in the clip. “Let me tell you what a bad bitch is about to do. I am about to check into the ‘Bates Motel’ very soon. Guess what else? Guess who’s playing Marion?”
Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Kerry Ehrin were thrilled to announce the news too.
“We wanted to thrust the iconic role into a contemporary spotlight and redefine it in a meaningful and exciting new way,” the execs said in a statement. “We also heard Rihanna was a fan of the show, and we were huge fans of hers, so it was the perfect collision of creativity and fate.”
The fifth season of “Bates Motel” will start production in Vancouver in the fall and it’s scheduled to air in 2017.
Rihanna’s acting doesn’t stop there. She’s also set to appear in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets alongside stars like Cara Delevingne, Ethan Hawke, and Dane DeHaan.
While at Comic-Con too, DeHaan spoke about his work with RiRi. “Rihanna’s part is so crazy, it’s so awesome,” he said. “I worked with her the first two weeks of the shoot and whenever I told anybody what I was going to be doing, their jaws were on the floor and they were so jealous. And that’s all I can say.”
