What the heck is going on in Alabama…
An Alabama teenager is in hot water after using a stun gun to get herself away from a teacher who was trying to break up a fight. The video of the teen was shot by another student and has been shared on Facebook hundreds of times. According to the New York Post, the teen was taken to a youth detention center and charged with felony assault for using a stun gun on her teacher.
What was she thinking????
Guess we have to give up on our hopes of a swirl match between Lupita Nyong’o and Jared Leto yet again.
The Oscar-winning VOGUE cover girl has a new boyfriend!
US Weekly got the exclusive on this one:
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o has been dating GQ Style fashion editor Mobolaji Dawodu “for six months,” a Dawodu pal reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.
The Kenyan-raised actress, 33, and the tastemaker — his website says he’s “informed the visual language of cosmopolitan life and style for more than a decade” — were introduced through mutual friends in the fashion world, adds the friend.
Nyong’o and Dawodu, who has a young daughter, are clearly on the same fashion page. In a June 12 Instagram he shared with his nearly 6,000 Instagram followers, they posed in coordinated denim and orange-hued outfits.
Since becoming Instagram official, Dawodu, formerly an editor at Fader magazine, Details and Style.com, has let pals in on his relationship. Says the friend, “He’s discreetly told people they are dating.”
Ironically Mobolaji styled Jared Leto for his last GQ cover story… He’s also the brilliant guy behind that beautiful Marley spread we featured a few weeks ago.
They make a cute couple and his daughter is adorable! As long as Lupita is happy, we’re happy!
Well, damn.

The R&beef between Brandy and Monica is long-documented, going all the way back to 1998 following the release of “The Boy Is Mine”. The tension was reignited again after the release of their second musical collaboration “It All Belongs To Me” in 2012 and their shared cover of EBONY magazine.
Earlier this year Brandy told EW:
It was so long ago, I’m just in a different space. I don’t talk to Monica. We are on different paths.
Fast forward a few months and it appears that not only do the two singers not speak, there appears to still be quite a bit of animosity, at least on Brandy’s side of things.
Most of you have either seen or participated in the ubiquitous #SoGoneChallenge, but when asked by a fan if she would take part in social media’s latest craze, well…
Welp.

Usain Bolt, the 9-time Olympic gold medalist, is having the time of his life and his girlfriend doesn’t seem too happy about it. Reports have linked Bolt to a number of women and some wild escapades since he completed his medal run. Folks have often wondered what she has to say about the matter. For the moment, it seems as if she might be just a little tired of all the news reports and, possibly, Bolt’s behavior.

On Sunday after the Games’ closing ceremonies, Bolt was spotted out with up to three different women. He continued the party on Monday night in London, hitting up the Cirque le Soir nightclub until 5:45 a.m., before continuing the party back at his hotel.
Less that 24 hours later, he then repeated the same feat at Tape in London’s exclusive Mayfair district.
“He arrived around 1 in the morning and stayed until around 4:30 a.m.,” a source previously told PEOPLE of his time at Tape. ‘Everyone else in the club was asked to leave around 3:30 a.m., but Usain and a big group of ladies stayed in for a bit longer. They had the whole club to themselves for around an hour.”
Do you think that Usain Bolt needs a bit more self-control? Could you be as patient as Kasi Bennett is being? Hit the comments and let us know.
Kanye West somehow swindled MTV into giving him four minutes at the VMAs to do “whatever he wants.” Given Kanye’s previous behavior of doing wild stuff when he hasn’t been given a pass, there’s a certain amount of tension in the air for what he might pull off. That tension that might be hitting danger levels because as of right now, a few hours before the VMAs is scheduled to be on TV, Kanye hasn’t even rehearsed yet.

Kanye West‘s MTV VMA performance is shrouded in so much secrecy, he hasn’t even taken the stage for a ‘run through’ … just hours before the live awards show kicks off.
Our sources backstage at the VMA’s tell us, unlike other artists, Yeezy has not performed a rehearsal of whatever the hell he plans to do on stage, and “nobody knows what he’s doing.”
However … we’re told execs aren’t too worried because they know Kanye delivers when it counts.
As we previously reported, Kanye gets 4 minutes to do whatever he wants, including talking, rapping, dancing, or even just staring at the crowd.
With no rehearsals yet … the latter ain’t looking too bad.
What do you think Kanye is going to do at the VMAs?
Mariah Carey found out how much of a letdown family can be after her sister was arrested for prostitution in New York. Fifty-five-year-old Allison Carey, said to be estranged from Mariah, was caught up in a police sweep during an undercover investigation. PEOPLE reported that although the two had been estranged for years Mariah has always taken care of her family’s finances. Allison’s bond has been set and she’s due in court next week.

Mariah Carey’s sister has been arrested on a prostitution charge in Saugerties, New York, according to the Daily Freeman.
Alison Carey, 55, was reportedly arrested by police in an undercover investigation at an unidentified Saugerties hotel. A police officer reportedly posed as a client, and Alison was arrested after “soliciting money in exchange for sexual favors,” according to the local newspaper.
Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra told the paper that Alison told police she was related to the star and he described Alison as “transient.” Police claimed they set up the sting after seeing Alison allegedly advertise her services online.
A source tells PEOPLE that Mariah and Alison had been estranged “for years.
“Mariah takes care of her entire family and I’m sure this is very painful for her,” the source said.The report said in one ad posted Friday, Alison wrote, “Im a pretty lady looking for guys who are looking to have some fun and get into a world of pleasure that other woman just cant provide two you.”
Alison even referenced her famous sister’s 1995 hit “Fantasy” in the ad.
Sinagra told the local news outlet that “based on their stories,” there could be cause for concern for people who had sexual encounters with Carey. He advised that any people who has sex with her in the past refer to their doctors, “particularly if it was unprotected.”
Carey was arraigned in Saugerties Town Court and sent to Ulster County Jail. Her bail is set at $1,000. She is due in court on Aug. 30.
Just a friendly reminder that nothing will disappoint you like family.
Late last week, news broke that Dwyane Wade’s cousin Nykeah Aldridge was killed in Chicago while she was walking her child down the street. Today, it’s been announced that two men, Derren and Darwin Sorrel, have been arrested and charged with her murder. Derren is said to be a member of the Gangster Disciples and was out on parole for a prior gun charge.

Two men have been charged for the alleged murder of Nykea Aldridge, according to police.
Chicago police charged 22-year-old Derren Sorells and 26-year-old Darwin Sorells overnight on Saturday, CPD communications director Anthony Guglielmi announced on Saturday morning.
CPD could not be reached for comment.
In subsequent tweets, Guglielmi provided more information about the brothers charged with Dwyane Wade’s cousin’s tragic death. “Derren Sorells …. Is a documented member of the Gangster Disciples,” he claimed in a tweet, adding “Mr. Sorells is on parole.”
According to Guglielmi, Sorells is allegedly on parole for a gun charge. “Sentenced to 6 yrs in Jan. 2013 & let out early,” Guglielmi wrote.
Aldridge’s community and family continues to mourn her death. She was shot and killed in crossfire while pushing a stroller down a South Side Chicago street when several men allegedly started shooting at each other. NBA star Dwyane Wade took to Twitter to share his grief, writing “My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough.”
On Saturday, Wade posted a series of tweets about his cousin’s murder, including one that said, “The city of Chicago is hurting. We need more help& more hands on deck. Not for me and my family but for the future of our world. The YOUTH!”
This is still a terrible and senseless act of violence but if there’s a silver lining to be found anywhere, is that Aldridge’s death won’t go unsolved.
As we previously reported, Collin Kaepernick placed himself in the crosshairs of racists and alleged patriots when he refused to stand during the singing of the national anthem at a preseason game.
However, the #ISupportKaepernickBecause hashtag is being used to let people know there is plenty of support for “woke” QB. Continue
Tammy and Waka Flocka have decided to rekindle their love, despite Waka’s cheating ways, and reconcile their marriage. Today, while also telling people to mind their business, Tammy offered an explanation for why she took him back. In addition to speaking on how “f***** up society” was because we “throw everything away,” she advised folks to talk to their aunties and grandparents about how they were able to keep their marriages going. She feels that Waka “fought for his wife back” and so she feels it’s her duty to “fight to make this marriage work.”

Do you think what she said was real? Do you think she should’ve taken him back? Sound off in the comments below!
MTV has finally brought the Video Music Awards back to NYC — shutting down Madison Square Garden to hand out its moon men trophies to artists you love (and a few you’re not all that familiar with) as some of your faves hit the stage.
With a night full of twists turns and surprises — what’s Rihanna gonna wear and perform to open the show? What EXACTLY does Kanye plan to do with 4 free minutes of uninhibited airtime? What’s Beyonce about to do to get white folks upset again out here?? — first and foremost, we have to see what these entertainers are wearing for the big night, and as always, judge who looked more bangin as they strutted the stadium.
Let’s kick it off — of course — with the Queen Bey and her Princess Blue…
Beyonce stunned in an ethereal, feathered number with wing-like shoulders…
Hit the flip fore more…
The MTV VMAs have just kicked off and Beyoncé is flooding Instagram with pics of herself and Blue Ivy getting ready to spill lemonade all over the red carpet.
The overload of preciousness is just a page away. Flip it on over to have a look.

Rihanna opened up the 2016 VMA’s with a melody of “We Found Love” and “Where Have You Been.” Sure, Riri’s voice cracked a little and the dance moves looked a little Fiona Apple’ish, but overall…she did a good job, right?

People are talking that Kanye West “Illuminati” stuff, when all I saw was azz!
There is so much booty in this video… we decided to throw it on the next page. You have been warned.
Welp, we now know why MTV gave habitual ranter Kanye West 4 uninterrupted minutes of air time.
The G.O.O.D. Music rapper gave an unintelligible speech about art, violence in Chicago, fame, and God knows what else.
He also debuted one HELL of a video for his The Life Of Pablo track “Fade” which features a VERY scantily clad Teyana Taylor giving you ALL the “Flashdance” vibes.
While most appreciated the clip for it’s…aesthetic sensibilities (see, a$$ and tiddays), most were left totally bewildered as to what the hell Kanye was talking about. He might as well have been Desiigner.
Flip the page to see some of the best reactions to Kanye’s primetime diatribe.
