LeBron Was The Last Model In KITH’s NYFW Show

LeBron James has been teasing his upcoming collaboration with KITH and their founder Ronnie Fieg for a while now–and this is just the latest on their work together. Though these sneakers aren’t KITH-related, the debut of his new LeBron 15s has everybody talking. James came out at the end of the runway show with his head down, then revealed his identity and continued to mouth the words to Kanye’s verse on “H.A.M.”

Scottie Pippen was also in KITH’s fashion week show, modeling actual clothes from their collection and keeping a stern face down the runway. Fellow baller fashion killas Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony were in the building for NYFW as well and showed love to Bron after his runway performance.

After the debut of the bright floral colorway for his new LeBron 15s, he also took to Instagram to snap a picture of another “ghost” version that will be coming out in the near future as well.

R&B Diva And Estranged Husband Facing Money Trouble

Mary J. Blige and her soon-to-be-ex husband Kendu Isaacs may be in the process of getting a divorce, but they are still joined at the hip when it comes to money matters.

That’s because the exes have been accused of owing nearly $2 million.

The Internal Revenue Service last week slapped the one time couple with a federal tax lien for $1.7 million in back taxes.

In total, the feds said their couple – who are in the midst of a bitter divorce – are in the hole to the tune of $1,764,724, according to public records obtained by BOSSIP.

The IRS doesn’t mess around when it comes to collecting debts, so Mary and Kendu could face seizure of their homes, cash or other assets in order to pay the bill.

Mary has hit the road and is in the midst of a national tour to bring in money after a judge ordered her to pay Kendu some $30,000 a month in temporary child support so he can get back on his feet.

Mary and Kendu were married for 12 years before she called it quits earlier this year. She said her husband – who was also her manager – cheated on her and misappropriated more than $400,000 of her money on dubious “business expenses.”

However, this isn’t the first time that Mary has apparently single handedly pulled the pair out of a financial hole. Last year, the “Not Gon’ Cry” singer cleared a tax debt to the state of New Jersey for $166,292 as well as $30,915 to the state in 2013, according to public records. And in 2007, records show that Blige coughed up $1.9 million to settle another IRS tax debt.

Okay…this look was definitely (we are guessing) styled by Kanye. He must have wanted to showcase Kim’s greatest asset, her cooch. Kim rocked a scant handful of clothing under a large leather blazer. This get up included a bandeu top and sheer pants with her drawls exposed. Are you feeling it?

Rush Limbaugh Rushes Out Of Florida For Hurricane “Conspiracy”

Rush Limbaugh spent the first part of this week acting as if Hurricane Irma was all some conspiracy used to sell bottled water and batteries. Last year, his story was a little different but still just as idiotic, suspecting that the storms were somehow part of a liberal conspiracy to push a climate change agenda.

While Hurricane Irma was being advertised as a category 5 natural disaster, Limbaugh said things like:

“You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic. You don’t need a hurricane to hit anywhere. All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and more dangerous, and you create the panic, and it’s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.”

“You don’t need a hurricane to hit anywhere”….BUT LIKE IT’S ABOUT TO, MY GUY.

After dedicating his time to accusing the earth of pushing a liberal agenda, looks like Rush himself is evacuating Florida. He went on his broadcast on Thursday to announce that he could no longer record the next day’s program in the studio, but didn’t want “to get into details” and it’s “legally impossible for us to originate the program out of here.”

Miraculously, science was right all along and hurricanes DO exist. Water actually does fall from the sky. And winds, they blow. Crazy how things work out.

Pregnant Woman Gives Birth After Boyfriend Sets Her On Fire

We’ve reported a LOT of terrible, awful, outrageously unbelievable things over the years, but never anything like this…

According to NBCWashington, a pregnant woman in Prince George’s County named Andrea Grinage was doused in flammable fluids and set ablaze by her psychopath boyfriend.

There are no details as to what led to the violent incident, but the trauma forced Grinage into an early labor. A medical emergency crew rushed Andrea to the hospital while her body was severely covered with burns where she then delivered a baby girl 7 weeks premature.

PG County police spokesperson Jennifer Donelan commended Andrea on her strength and awareness:

“She was very brave. We want her family to know how brave she was, suffering as badly as she was — critically burned, worried about her unborn child, dealing with those injuries and was able to share that information with us so that we could get moving with our investigation and locate this person,” Donelan said.

Cops say the ain’t-sh!t boyfriend has surrendered to authorities in D.C. where Andrea believes he went to do harm to her family. Charges against him are pending.

There isn’t a Hell hot enough for this guy to be sent to for setting a pregnant woman on fire.

Hopefully there is something excruciatingly painful waiting for him in the bing.

What would you do?

Co-Stars Want Danielle Staub Off ‘Real Housewives’ After Racist Comments

TMZ has reported that some of the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ cast desperately want Danielle Staub edited out of the new season of the program, because they just found out about a racist rant she went on years ago.

Apparently, someone on the show’s crew pointed out that audio recordings of Staub’s rant existed, and now cast members are demanding to meet with production to get her off of the show completely. TMZ explains, “the audio recording is reportedly from a fight Danielle had with an ex-bf in 2015. She can be heard calling him a “stupid f***ing Mexican.” She also dropped the n-word several times.”

Though Staub was not on ‘Real Housewives’ at the time of the recording, she’s now returned for season 8–which has already wrapped shooting. She reportedly has an enormous amount of airtime, so editing around her parts would not be a simple task for producers. Several cast members are disgusted they shot scenes with her and are worried it will hurt their reputations.

No big deal, right?

You all feeling this?

Jim Jones Is Making The Best Of The Hurricane in Florida

Hurricane Irma has already started its effects on south Florida, and Jim Jones is in the thick of it all. Thousands of Miami residents–and those in other areas of the state as well–all evacuated ahead of Hurricane Irma’s arrival, Jim Jones was left with no other choice than to stay and ride out the category 4 storm.

In a video to TMZ, Jones explained he tried to find a way out of Miami before the storm arrived, but pretty much every opportunity ended up being a dead end. “I tried to get out of here it was no flights. I tried to get a private jet, there was no fuel in Miami… Just to get to Orlando it was like 12 hours.” He also said he stocked up on Cap’N Crunch,  Raisin Bran, and other snacks “like I’m gonna be here for two years.”

Jim ain’t letting the hurricane stop him from enjoying his life. He’s been posting multiple videos reporting on the storm, “live from th joint” and letting everyone know what’s going down.

Shoutout to everyone getting their weather updates from a certified gangsta instead of the actual news.

K. Michelle Speaks On R.Kelly Sex Cult Allegations

K. Michelle is speaking on her former mentor whose allegations that he’s keeping a hoard of women “hostage” in a sex cult rocked the internet. K, who previously called R. Kelly not only her mentor but her “idol” is addressing rumors that the Pied Piper’s involved in some shady sexual dealings.

In between speaking to Billboard about her music and engagement to Dr. Kastan Sims, K was asked about R. Kelly considering that she once navigated the music scene under his wing.

According to K, it’s “not surprising” to hear about his sex cult and she’s planning to speak further on just exactly what that means. Not only that, she can relate to the alleged abuse the women are undergoing and she remembers when people tried to bash her over it.

“I’m not surprised by them, I’m actually going to be speaking more about it because I do feel like it’s my obligation as a woman to tell the truth and to do right by other females that are in the business and all these young women who don’t have a voice,” said K.

“So it’s been something that’s been toying and been really stressing me and I’ve been going back and forth with how to speak about it and how to do right for those girls and read some comments about one of the accusers. I went to a blog and I saw women tearing this little girl up. And it immediately brought tears to my eyes because I remember what that was like trying to tell about my abuse,” she added.

“I’ve dealt with other abuse and I tried to tell but when I was telling people were calling me a liar, they were bashing me, they were telling me I was hateful,” she said.

“To read those comments about these women, these young women, these little girls and how people were so naïve to reality or just didn’t give a fuck about the reality and to call these little girls liars and to really take them down, is something I don’t really know right now if I’m willing to stand aside and watch it happen.

But I can honestly tell you right now that I have yet to find the proper platform and the proper way to protect and voice my support for these women. I’m not here to bash but right is right and wrong is wrong. That’s all I can really say right now.”

Damn, we wonder what K’s ready to come clean about.

She also added that she can’t speak on whether or not the allegations are true, but added that “there’s something that is true.”

“I can’t speak on it. I do believe that in every piece of the story there’s something that is true and I’ve learned so much from my mentor and it’s just the right time and place to say things, to do it properly so that the people you’re trying to help are actually helped instead of taunted so I’ll be speaking more about it but I’ll be doing it in the right way.”

K’s clearly choosing her words very carefully…

What do YOU think she’s preparing to say???

George Clooney Slays Steve Bannon At Toronto Film Festival

George Clooney isn’t just a fine distinguished actor, he’s also accomplished at reading a racist Republican for filth. While promoting his new film “Suburbicon” at the Toronto Film Fest Friday, Clooney talked about his role as a social disruptor and revealed how much he revels in irking Steve Bannon and his ilk.

Via Daily Mail:

‘I like that Breitbart News wants to have my head. I’d be ashamed 10 years from now if those weaselly little putzes, whose voices are getting a lot higher every week as this presidency starts to look worse and worse weren’t still [after me],’ he said.

‘Steve Bannon is a failed f***ing screenwriter, and if you’ve ever read [his] screenplay, it’s unbelievable. Now, if he’d somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he’d still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my a** to get me to do one of his stupid-a** screenplays.’

PURE COMEDY… Clooney just flamed Bannon.

Besides politics, Bannon’s background includes a history of producing and financing Hollywood films and documentaries, but the former White House chief strategist also tried his hand at screenwriting with a project described by Entertainment Weekly as “a hip-hop musical based on Shakespeare’s Coriolanus that takes place in early 1990s Los Angeles.”

Crazy right. If it was Spike Lee writing then maybe, but this had to have been trash coming from Bannon.

In any case, Clooney is confident that he’s doing the right part by speaking out. He added,

‘Hollywood is being quite well represented right now in the West Wing somehow,’ Clooney said.

‘You know, they say I’m out of touch. You want to call me a Hollywood liberal? Come at me. I sold ladies shoes, I sold insurance door to door, I worked at an all-night liquor store, I cut tobacco for a living.

‘I can change the fan belt on my car. I grew up in that world in Kentucky. I know every bit of that world, and I know my friends and what they believe. And I know this is not a moment in our history that we’ll look back and be proud of. So if I’m not standing on the side I believe to be right, I’d be ashamed,’ he added.

Keisha Brockington Receives Racist Letter

Another day, another racist letter. A union FDNY worker who was targeted is asking for an investigation into an anonymous letter she received.

According to The New York Daily News, back in August a noose was discovered hanging in an ambulance at Keisha Brockington’s station.

The person behind the noose was discovered to be EMT John Thornton who told upper management that it was just a practical joke for a coworker who’d just broken up with their girlfriend.

The NYDN reports that Thornton then asked Brockington for advice and she told him to contact the EMS union’s vice president, but the plan backfired.
Thornton was suspended and his probationary period as a new hire was extended for 6 months.

Fast-forward to present day and Brockington’s telling the outlet that a racist letter popped up in her locker from an anonymous source.

““You stupid n—– better watch your back, talking all this crap,” reads the leter. “You better watch your back when you start your car up. Nothing better than a dead n—–. Trying to get innocent people fired for a funny prank,” according to the Daily News.

She’s since filed a police report and alerted management.

Gee, we wonder who could’ve possibly sent this woman a letter. Shouldn’t be hard for the police to piece this one together, right?
