We’re pretty accustomed to Kanye’s crazy rants at this point, but we gotta admit he was pretty extra during his appearance on “Ellen” last week, now there are reports that Kim is getting fed up with his antics. The couple made an appearance at the Vogue festival in London this weekend and they weren’t looking too overjoyed with each other.
Kim’s close to the breaking point according to RadarOnline reports:
West’s bizarre rant on Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show was the latest in a string of embarrassing incidents for the rapper’s wife, who is “at the end of her rope with him,” a source close to the reality star told Radar.
“Kim cringes every time someone asks her about Kanye’s rants,” the source said. “She knows he just can’t stop himself and he’s going to do them no matter what she says and no matter how many time she’s told him to be more in control.”
West compares himself to Steve Jobs and Picasso because he is “an artist,” he told Degeneres on her show. But the source told Radar that Kardashian grew tired of defending her husband. “Kim believes Kanye is an artist too, but she doesn’t know how many more times she can explain that to people. It’s frustrating for her and makes the reality of a divorce seem more possible.”
The materialistic couple may finally have hit the breaking point the source told Radar. “Kim refuses to talk with anyone about Kanye and their relationship. She has gone completely silent about everything.” Kardashian tweeted that she was “proud” of her husband but the source said that statement is all just for show.
As West continues to go off the rails, the source said a divorce was looming closer and closer: “Kim can only take so much and it seems like every single time Kanye does anything she has to do damage control. She is nearing her breaking point.”
We definitely could see HOW she might get annoyed. She seemed pretty annoyed about his snoring last night too:

This is just crazy. We can’t even send our 6 year-olds to school without fear of them being attacked?
Crystal Wright & Zimmerman are jackasses for saying those horrible things about Trayvon’s family. Also, Crystal’s lack of empathy for the young black male’s plight is OBVIOUSLY pure denial…
Remember when we told you that Kim Fields is out for the next season of RHOA???
Well it looks like her spot might be given to none other than RHOA original NeNe Leakes who hinted at a possible return at the Atlanta Women’s Expo.
NeNe Leakes, speaking to hundreds of fans at the Ultimate Women’s Expo this past weekend at the Georgia World Congress Center, refused to answer specifically whether she’ll be back for the ninth season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
But her teasingly noncommittal answer certainly implied that she will return because if she really wasn’t planning to, she’d say so. She’s that type of person.
The questioner asked straight out if she was coming back after complaining this past season without her was a “snoozefest.”
“Season nine?” Leakes said on stage. “Uhhhh…’Housewives?’ Uhhhh…. you got to wait for them [Bravo] to announce it. I can’t announce it. I would be in so much trouble if I made the announcement.”
“Maybe?” the questioner said.
“Maybe. We’ll see. I think you guys will be surprised by who’s coming back and who’s not coming back.”
Hmmmm….can you see NeNe coming back full time to RHOA???
If they bring her back they should bring back Sheree too!
Florida really is the weirdest state in America according to CNN News:
A team of scientists has identified three reptiles captured near Miami as Nile crocodiles, a species native to Africa.
Through DNA testing, scientists from the University of Florida were able to confirm that the reptiles captured in the wild from 2009, 2011 and 2014 were Nile crocodiles, the second-largest extant reptile species in the world. The findings were published in the journal of Herpetological Conservation and Biology in April.
The study could mean that more of these man-eating creatures are lingering in the Sunshine State.
“The odds that the few of us who study Florida reptiles have found all of the Nile crocs out there is probably unlikely,” Kenneth Krysko, herpetology collections manager at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida, said in a statement.
“We know that they can survive in the Florida wilderness for numerous years, we know that they grow quickly here and we know their behavior in their native range, and there is no reason to suggest that would change here in Florida.”
Welcome to Florida, folks!!!
We recently reported that actress Blake Lively was still slaying red carpets throughout her latest pregnancy with husband Ryan Reynolds. But a recent post of her prego-style has gotten some social media users calling her a racist and cultural appropriator.
The star decided to post up some of the extra curvature that her most recent gut full has given her — with a cheeky caption:
As most people born before 1995 know, those are lyrics to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s classic ode to booty, “Baby Got Back.” Seems harmless enough, but nothing in the world of the internet is ever what it seems.
Some social media users called Blake out for using the black female form as a punchline, or cultural appropriation of hip-hop slang when she knows nothing of Oakland:
So, what does Sir-Mix-a-Lot think of all the controversy? According to Sentinel Land Enterprise:
“If what Blake Lively meant by that comment was, ‘Oh my goodness, I’ve gained weight, I look horrible’ — and I doubt that she did — then I’m with the critics,” he said, “But no one in the world is gonna tell me that a woman that wears that dress is thinking that she’s fat. It sounds like to me like she was giving the line props.”
Just for the record, she didn’t look anywhere close to horrible.
“I think we have to be careful what we wish for as African Americans, because if you say she doesn’t have the right to say that, then how do you expect her at the same time to embrace your beauty?” said Mix-a-Lot. “I think it’s almost a nod of approval, and that was what I wanted. I wanted our idea of beautiful to be accepted.”
Were YOU offended by Blake’s caption?

Ciara is hosting the Billboard Music Awards with Ludacris — but she’s also excited to see a few of the performers.
Tokyo Toni recently went on a rant that fans are suspecting could have been aimed at none other an Amber Rose.
Blac Chyna’s mom whose known for her epic Instagram sound offs, recently posted an IG video complaining about seeing a girl wearing a “slut” hat.
Coincidentally Amber Rose has been seen wearing the same thing and sells her “Slut” attire on her website.
Last week there were rumors that Amber Rose and Blac Chyna were no longer friends after Chyna cut Amber out of her emoji deal [click here if you missed that].
While that rumor may or may not be true, Blac Chyna’s mom just for sure shaded tf out of Amber…On one of her daily diatribes Tokyo Toni goes off about a girl wearing a hat that says ‘slut’ asking,
“WTF is going on in this world? Y’all females are walking around with a hat that says slut…and you proud of that s**t?!”
The gag is Blac Chyna’s former bestie Amber Rose sells hats and T-shirts emblazoned with the word ‘Slut’ and Tokyo Toni knows it.
Well it is, mighty convenient…
Do YOU think Tokyo Toni was taking a not so subtle shot at Amber Rose???

A poem…SMH….
A black teen with over $1 million in scholarships and a full-ride to FAMU is making national headlines for the way she was treated by her school principal.
Taiylar Ball of Chicago recently recited her “Dear Black Girls” poem at her school’s talent show.
Unfortunately for her while several of her peers enjoyed it, since a line in the poem used the n-word, she was banned from not only prom but graduation as well.
The National Honor Society member was accepted into 11 colleges and universities in total and received more than $1 million in scholarships.
Yet, she wasn’t accepted at her school’s annual rite of passage.
“Prom is like a Cinderella thing,” the Chicago area student said. “You think about it when you’re young, you wait for it and for it to be taken away from you, it’s very hurtful, especially from your school who you love so much.”
Ball was banned from her prom she said because of her language choice in her “Dear Black Girls” poem. She had performed it at her school’s talent show.
Her words, which included the term n*gga,” were meant to “empower the Black race” and “combat stereotypes that people have about Black people,” Ball explained. Here is a snippet of the actual poem below.
“Dear Black man, brothers, n***a? Kim K wearing you like an accessory, be conscious black man…”
In this video (below) of her performance the crowd goes wild, clapping and shouting at the end. Ball said she was asked to leave school and was told she couldn’t attend prom or walk for graduation.
Ball tells JET that she continued to plead with her principal to attend prom but they never let up. Instead Taylor was allowed to take pictures outside of the prom but was NOT let in.
Ball refused to give up and continued pleading with Pitcock up until the day of prom. She said her dress alone cost $1,000, and that’s not including hair, shoes and accessories.
Here’s the email correspondence shared with JETmag.com:
SMH really??? She seems like a stellar student.
Couldn’t they just reprimand her without barring her from prom and graduation???
