Blac Chyna For Elle.com

Chy sure is racking up those magazine features, isn’t she? Just days after flaunting her glowing gut on the pages of Paper Magazine, Chy is doing yet another stripped down pregnancy shoot for Elle.com — and opening up about the pop culture phenomenon that is #BlacRob, her “stripper ho” past, and what’s really good with her and her brood of future sister-in-laws…

Via Elle:

It’s this same ambition that has caused some to question if Chyna’s love for Rob is the real deal or little more than an elaborate PR move designed to turn her into a household name. In May, following the announcement of Chyna and Rob’s engagement, Buzzfeed writer Sylvia Obell penned a lengthy thesis attributing ulterior motives to Chyna’s maneuvers: “Chyna was making calculated moves to close in on her own empire with a precision and finesse that not even the Kardashians saw coming…And so the Kardashians, a family often accused of stealing black men, black features, and black culture, got beat at their own game by a black woman.” Datwon Thomas, editor in chief of Vibe magazine, offered a similar assessment of Chyna’s triumph over the Balmain-clad don Kris Jenner. “Chyna popped up, and all of sudden she’s pregnant, and now she’s got one of the most powerful pieces on the chess board,” he says, referring to Rob. As for whether or not she loves her husband-to-be: “I think she loves him,” says Thomas, “but I think it was a power move, initially. Let’s not kid ourselves. A lot of these celebrity couples are really only business deals.”

But Chyna says that vengeance, power plays, and chess moves were the furthest thing from her mind when a high school student snatched her fiance…

Chyna claims the taunts didn’t hurt her. She and Tyga were on the outs when he took up with Kylie, she says, and she’d already moved on. “When you don’t want to be in a relationship with somebody anymore, you don’t give a fuck what they’re doing,” she declares. “I was just like, ‘thank God I’m out of that situation.’ And honestly, it was the best thing that I could’ve done, because my life has changed so much for the better.”

The entire article is definitely worth a read…chronicling Chyna’s rise from the back of the booty bar to the front pages of magazines and reality TV stardom. In the meantime, check out the pics and a few notable quotes from the story after the flip…

Woman Admits To Pulling Prank On NYC Subway

Remember that mentally disturbed woman who made a couple dozen New Yorkers’ commute hell with a box of bugs last week? About that…

Via MailOnline:

A budding actress and married mother of two who released hundreds of live worms and crickets in an NYC subway car in a chaotic prank has been arrested.

Zaida Pugh, 21, posed as a deranged woman last week on a Brooklyn-bound D train. She pretended that she wanted to sell the insects until a man – who was later revealed to be an accomplice – intentionally flipped the container holding them, sending 300 crickets and 300 worms across the Subway car.

Pugh, from Brooklyn, said the situation got out of hand as she didn’t expect that someone would pull the emergency brake. But that is what happened, and passengers were stuck inside an AC-less car for 30 minutes while Pugh stayed in character – and let her prank escalate to unforeseen heights.

She kept screaming and acting erratically, at one point urinating on herself. But Pugh has since revealed the whole thing was a set-up and claims she was trying to shed light on how homeless people are treated in public places.

She faces charges of reckless endangerment, obstructing governmental administration, false reporting an incident and disorderly conduct, the New York Daily News reported.

Um…does she realize that most homeless people don’t assault strangers with live insects, strand them for 30 minutes in a hot and crowded location, and pee all over the place?? Here’s a refresher of he little “lesson” to the passengers:

Milan Christopher Talks Relationships On BOSSIP’s “Don’t Be Scared” Podcast

Remember when we told you that Milan Christopher stopped by BOSSIP’s “Don’t Be Scared” podcast to dish on his background, his Beverly Hills White Smile brand and his music career?

Well while there he also dished on relationships and admitted that while not being bisexual because according to him “that doesn’t exist”, he’s attracted to lesbians.

“The women really love me, the gay guys they like me but the straight women, they go in,” said Milan. “The lesbian clubs I be hosting—lesbian women are really attracted to me, and I’m really attracted to lesbian women. I could see myself dating a trans man, the ones who look like men but are really women because I really want kids right now. Would I be considered gay if I’m dating a woman who looks like a man?”

He also shared his definition of a gay man:

“If a straight man had sex with a transsexual, are they considered gay? I don’t think so, I think they’re considered straight. There’s nothing about a transsexual that is masculine.

These are men who are superly overly feminine, they have breasts, titties, a**—a lot of the men don’t even touch that. I don’t consider men who mess around with trannies—sorry that’s my opinion, I don’t think they should be considered gay.
[…]
“This is what I consider gay, a man who’s attracted to men is gay. A man who’s attracted to transexual women is not attracted to men [because] that’s not a man.”

17:57

And spoke on dating someone on the down low:

“It’s fun to date somebody who’s on the DL to a certain extent until you get to a point where you want to be open about who you are.”

On celebrity men in his DMs:

“I’ve had celebrity men hitting on me since before the show, one of the people I actually like is completely on the DL,” said Milan. “His biggest thing is making sure I don’t say anything.

I think that may be a turnoff to other people who might wanna be in my DMs, because they’re like ‘this n*** wanna be out, he wanna be gay, he wanna be married. But I’m not that type of person I’ve never outed anybody.

Even with my ex, we were together for too long and I wanted more and I was like ‘either we’re gonna do this or I’m gonna leave.’ I didn’t force him to come out. […]

Being openly gay and black is the hardest thing you can possibly do.”

Rob Kardashian Reveals Why He Chose To Skip Kim And Kanye’s Big European Wedding

After years of battling with his weight, being depressed and finding love again Rob Kardashian seems to be on the other side of misery thanks to his build-a-bae, Blac Chyna.

The larger Kardashian opened up to PEOPLE about his struggles and finally revealed why he chose to skip is sister’s grandiose wedding 3rd wedding…

“I was doing my suit fittings in Paris right before the wedding and I just wasn’t comfortable,” reveals Kardashian. “I’m 6’1″ and at my most I probably weighed 300 lbs.”

“There were cameras at the airport on our trip there and I was very unhappy with the person I saw in all the pictures,” he admits. “I’m upset I missed my sister’s wedding but it was a personal decision.”

“I just wasn’t down to have photographers follow me, so I made sure I was away from all of that,” Kardashian explains. “I’m very good at disappearing.”

According to Rob, the wedding wasn’t the only thing he was AWOL for…

Kardashian went on to skip out on “Christmases and birthdays and vacations” with his family, and despite their pleas, he continued to withdraw.

“I wasn’t happy with myself so I didn’t want my family to see me that way,” he says. “[Khloe and I] butt heads about it. She’s all about, ‘your biggest revenge is your body,’ and I’m trying to find happiness in my own way.”

The star acknowledges he “definitely hurt a lot of people” but vows to “never go to that place again.”

“The way I dealt with my issues maybe wasn’t the best, but nobody can make me happy but me,” he says. “Now I want to see everybody in my family every chance I get. You never know what is going to happen tomorrow, and I don’t want to do that to my mom [Kris Jenner].”

“There were definitely dark days for me, and I’m still not fully happy looking at myself in the mirror,” he admits. “But I’m working towards that. And I’m happy.”

People find happiness in the most unimaginable places. Good for him though.

Memphitz Blasts K. Michelle Again

Memphitz recently ranted about K. Michelle in connection with Chris Brown’s SWAT team investigation.

As previously reported Chris was arrested and released after a (thieving) beauty pageant queen alleged that he pointed a gun at her.

All the while that was going down, Toya Wright’s ex-husband was sending not subliminal shots to K. Michelle.

Why? Presumably because he thinks Chris’ accuser is lying, just like he says she did when she alleged that they were in an abusive relationship.

“Who should be President of Skankville,” Memph captioned a photo of K and Chris’ accuser Baylee Curan.

Hitz recently passed a lie detector on “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” that asked if he’d ever put his hands on a woman and taunted Michelle afterwards calling her “liar, liar, skirt on fire.”

Oh dear…

Do YOU see any correlation between his case and Chris’???

Nessa Talks Colin Kaepernick Facing Backlash

Colin Kaepernick has been facing arrows from every angle — even his own birth mother — ever since he refused to stand for the National Anthem in protest of systemic oppression and police brutality.

But at least ONE voice is standing in solidarity with him. Hot 97’s Nessa, Colin’s girlfriend, couldn’t be prouder of her boo for sitting down for what he believes is right. As Nessa told us on the VMA’s Red Carpet, she fully supports her man’s decision, and feels that it’s very American of him to exercise his right to sit OR stand, depending on how he feels on issues:

It takes a lot of heart, a lot of courage to do what he did. I think it’s important that we all have this open dialogue, so that we can take actual steps to make our country a better place. And what’s amazing about this is that Colin is able to exercise his freedom of speech. That’s one of the great things about being an American. I’m very happy for Colin that he was able to do that, and able to have the heart to do something that a lot of people are too scared to do.

Naturally, the #AllLivesMatter clique is coming out of the woodwork attacking Colin and calling him all sorts of slurs. But here’s what Nessa has to say about how he manages that:

He’s very strong. He knew that this is something that a lot of people probably don’t want to talk about. But someone has to talk about it. And it comes from the heart.

I truly feel that if people took the time to understand what he was saying — truly — I think that they would realize that this is someone who wants the best for all of us. And, he wants America great, because we’re proud to be Americans and to have rights like freedom of speech. So I support him, and I’m happy.

Nice! Stand (or sit) by your man, girl!

Beyonce To Throw Soul Train Birthday

Bey knows how to slay a stage and definitely how to throw a party. For her 35th, you know the songstress is planning to pull out all the stops. Of course, since she spends 98% of her downtime yachting in exotic locales with her family, she won’t be doing that old regular degular stuff for her big day…

Nope, she’ll be dancing down a Soul Train line packed with industry heavy hitters and millionaires. Via E!online:

All aboard the Soul Train, Beyoncé is turning 35!

A source tells E! News exclusively the superstar will ring in her birthday with a star-studded celebration à la the classic television series that was all about grooving to disco, funk and hip hop music while rocking some pretty sweet threads. That being said, we can only imagine the fly ensemble Queen Bey will rock in honor of her milestone age. It is Beyoncé, after all.

And although we have yet to receive our invitation in the mail (don’t worry, it’s coming any day now), the insider adds that the festivities will be held on September 5 in New York City, one day after her actual birthday.

We can’t wait for the slayful IG pics that come from this one…

Teyana Taylor Joins “The Breaks,” “Hip Hop Squares”

All eyes are on Teyana Taylor since her oiled-up, ab-rolling and booty-popping appearance in Kanye’s ‘Fade’ video made her everyone’s brand new #bodygoals.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Teyana’s “newfound recognition” after Kanye’s Fade video — highlighting her INSANE body and expert dance moves — has parlayed her into two steady Viacom checks.

[In The Breaks]Taylor will recur as a rapper discovered by Nikki (Afton Williamson), who is one of the first artists signed to the label that Barry Fouray (Wood Harris) is launching. The actress-singer joins a cast that also includes Mack Wilds (90210), Antoine Harris (Ballers), David Call (The Magicians), Evan Handler (Sex and the City), Melonie Diaz (Fruitvale Station), Sinqua Walls (Power) and Ali Ahn (Billions).

In addition, Taylor also will appear on the network’s upcoming Hip Hop Squares. Based on the long-running game show Hollywood Squares, the update hails from Ice Cube and features celebrity contestants testing their wits and pop-culture knowledge with the superstar squares, featuring the famous faces from hip-hop, comedy and entertainment.

The two gigs bring Taylor back to VH1, where she caught the eye of network executives in July thanks to her Lil Kim tribute at the Viacom-owned cable network’s Hip Hop Honors. However, it was her starring role (and dance moves!) in West’s seemingly Flashdance-inspired music video “Fade” that has pushed her further into the spotlight. The rapper unveiled the video at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, and it is currently available on Tidal.

Nice! Good that Kanye put her in position…especially since G.O.O.D. Music didn’t do much promo or push for her solo album…

Comedian Ashima Franklin Sues Katt Williams Over Physical Abuse

Katt Williams was hit with a lawsuit this week from a comedian he toured with who claims he abused and kidnapped her. Ashima Franklin claims Katt’s abuse towards her started with a hit to the face back in 2012, according to TMZ.

Franklin says this year the abuse resumed in the form of a two day attack, involving Katt holding her hostage while two women beat her up. Ashima is asking for at least $3 million for her suffering.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Katt bragged about having “million dollar bitches” … then turned his rage on Ashima, saying … “Why am I sitting here with this hillbilly, Alabama, backwoods ass three dollar p**** bitch?”
The next day, Ashima says Katt and 2 women attacked her — leaving her with a swollen face and injuries to her chest, arms and legs — and Katt blocked her from leaving.
She adds there was another incident where Katt threw piping hot food at her face, and asked why she thought she even had the right to eat.

Damn Katt!

Hazel E, Katt’s on and off again girlfriend jumped in defense of her boo. Here’s what she had to say about Ashima’s claims and her shady relationship with Katt.

Beyonce and Jay Z Attend The US Open

Jay And Bey’s latest NYC date night found them supporting their friend Serena Williams as she slayed and dominated the court.

The power pair attended the match as personal guests of Serena Williams who — of course — won tonight’s match.

Via USA Today:

Serena Williams is tied with Steffi Graf for most Grand Slam tittles in the Open era, and Thursday night she equaled another legend for most match wins by a female player at the major tournaments.

Williams was strong, if not her best, in a 6-3, 6-3 victory over fellow American Vania King, earning her 306th career win at a Grand Slam. That tally pulled her even with Martina Navratilova, who was 306-49 during her career at the majors.

With the win, Williams moves to 306-42.

“I feel like I made a lot of errors,” said Williams, who appeared frustrated at times in the match. “What really matters is I got the win. Hopefully I’ll just get better.”

We’re POSITIVE that Serena has got this! Hit the flip for more from Jay and Bey’s visit to the US Open…

Subway Creep Files Suit For Damages In Child Pornography Case

Jared Fogle, who’s currently serving 15-years in prison for conspiracy to receive child porn, is embroiled in another legal battle. He recently filed a motion to sue Russell Taylor, the former head of his charity, because Taylor was the one who secretly filmed the footage that landed Fogle in prison. Fogle believes that Taylor’s actions have led to injuries and damages against his family and he wants restitution in the form of $150,000.

Via PEOPLE

Jared Fogle has filed a federal complaint against the parents of an alleged victim who sued the disgraced former Subway pitchman after he allegedly received secret recordings of her changing her clothes and bathing, according to court papers obtained by PEOPLE.

Last March, the girl’s parents filed a lawsuit against Fogle, who is serving more than 15 years in prison for conspiracy to receive child pornography and traveling to have sex with a minor, for emotional distress.

The parent’s lawsuit alleges that Russell Taylor, the former head of Fogle’s charity, secretly filmed the underage girl and other children while they were changing clothes and bathing at Taylor’s house and gave the footage to Fogle. The lawsuit filed in the federal district court for the Southern District of Indiana is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.

In the motion filed Thursday, Fogle says the girl’s parents “through their actions, caused or significantly contributed to the injuries and damages alleged by Jane Doe in her Complaint against the Defendants.”
Fogle alleges the parents were responsible for their daughter’s depression, anxiety and emotional distress because of their “hateful and abusive relationship toward each other, which included, but was not limited to, engaging in frequent fighting and arguing between themselves; abusing alcohol and getting drunk; and engaging in frequent fighting, physical abuse, and arguing with Jane Doe.”

Fogle also claims that the parents abuse and neglect caused their daughter’s alcohol and substance abuse, self-mutilation, and suicidal ideations.

Fogle’s attorney, Ron Elberger, declined to comment.

In June, Fogle lost a bid to have his prison sentence reduced. At that time, Elberger had argued that the sentencing judge abused her authority after prosecutors in a plea deal had agreed to seek no more than 12 1/2 years, or 150 months, following Fogle’s guilty plea.

Fogle currently is serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood in suburban Denver, Colorado.

Do you think he has a good case?

Latino Trump Supporter Defends Donald Trump’s Position On Immigration

It’s crazy what self-hate can do. Marco Gutierrez, the founder of “Latinos For Trump,” made some eye-poppingly ridiculous comments on MSNBC earlier tonight. Guitterrez, after Trump’s visit to Mexico, said his “people” were “dominant” and that if America didn’t keep them out there’d be “taco trucks on every corner.” Trump and Mexico haven’t been on the best of terms since he insisted that the Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto would pay for the wall to keep the “illegals” out. Nieto said in response that he “wasn’t going to build that f****** wall”

via Complex

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s much-talked about visit to Mexico on Wednesday and his speech on U.S. immigration that followed apparently left out one important consequence should immigration continue: an invasion of taco trucks. Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez warned about the impending doom of “taco trucks on every corner.” But what about Trump-approved taco bowls?

Marco Gutierrez, who it should be noted is Mexican himself, made the remark on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes” Thursday. “My culture is a very dominant culture,” Gutierrez said. “It’s imposing and it’s causing problems. If you don’t do something about it you’re gonna [sic] have taco trucks [on] every corner.”

Trump, who has a documented history with Mexico, including calling Mexican immigrants to the U.S. “rapists” and “drug dealers,” visited the country yesterday. His trip was made possible after being invited by Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto. Trump’s trip was highlighted by the trending Twitter hashtag #TrumpMexicoTripSayings.

After saying he’d be open to a “softer” immigration policy, despite previously promising a policy as impenetrable as the proposed border wall, Trump said he’d create an immigration task force in a speech yesterday. Trump also reiterated plans for the wall he plans on building, but that Mexico will reportedly pay for.  But just hours prior to Trump’s statement, Peña Nieto publicly said that wouldn’t be happening.

Taco trucks on every corner sounds like heaven. Who doesn’t like tacos?
