So, Lil Twist Walked Out The House In THIS....To Chill With Kylie Jenner


 photo bullshat_zpsc9330bcd.jpg
This is what YMCMB rapper Lil Twist walked out the house wearing yesterday. And once again, he was spotted with one of the Jenner girls.  Check the pic inside....
While 20-year-old Lil Twist was living off Justin Bieber in Justin's mansion and cars was attached at the hip with his buddy Justin Bieber, he seemed to have become close to Kylie (who was barely 15 then) & Kendall Jenner.  They were often spotted out and about together, hitting the studio or grabbing food.  And now that Twist has been allegedly kicked out of JB's place, he still seems to be kickin' it with 16-year-old Kylie.
The twosome were spotted with another friend (not pictured) at a gas station off the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, CA yesterday.
But it's this damn outfit that has our eyebrow raised.  Really Twist?

ENGAGED! Big Sean Pops The Question To Girlfriend Naya Rivera, Naya Shows Off Engagement Ring!


 photo tumblr_mt9wj6jtwN1qa42jro1_500_zpsbb615ea5.jpg
Well isn't this...typical.  After dating for several months, 25-year-old rapper Big Sean is ready to wife up his girlfriend, "Glee" star Naya Rivera.  Deets on the couple's brand new engagement inside...
Big Sean was with his hometown ex girlfriend for years before he broke up with her for 26-year-old TV star Naya Rivera.  He admitted his ex, Ashley, was rightfully pissed at first.  But she may be side eye-ing the hell out him today.
Last night, Naya hit the red carpet at LATINA Magazine's Hollywood Hot List party and showed off her new FAT diamond engagement ring.  And her rep later confirmed the news to media that her boyfriend Sean "Big Sean" Anderson proposed.

 photo rs_560x415-131003205651-1024Naya-Rivera-Engagement-Ringms100313_copy_zpsaffeb288.jpg
Back in April, Big Sean nabbed her from "Glee" as something pretty & from the industry to rock on his arm at major events, they took a joint vacay together to Hawaii with their moms, then he helped her on her debut single "Sorry" since she wants a singing career now, they took risque pics together to give their couple status even more publicity, and now....the engagement.
Sean told E! once that they originally met on Twitter, and he admitted during a radio interview that Naya was indeed the hottest girl he's ever been with.  He also gushed to E! about Naya saying, "Every morning I wake up, I look over at her and be like, 'I'm winning so hard.'"
Neither have commented about the engagement on their respective social media outlets yet.
We've seen this string of events happen many times before.  But hopefully these two are getting whatever it is they want and are happy as pie together.
Best wishes!

RECORD BREAKER! "Scandal" Nabs MASSIVE 10.5 Million Viewers For Season 3 Premiere!


"Scandal" obsessors rejoice!  Your social media craziness and obsessive watching of the season 3 premiere have led to record ratings!  Find out how Kerry Washington and the rest of the Gladiators HANDLED tv last night....
While network TV's big Thursday night shows "Glee" (co-starring Amber Riley) and "X-Factor" (with judge Kelly Rowland) did well, "Scandal" did better.  The salacious drama-soap returned with the biggest premiere ratings they've ever had. 
Entertainment Weekly reports:
Scandal delivered 10.5 million viewers and 3.6 rating among adults 18-49. That’s up 71 percent from its premiere last year, and also rises 13 percent from its previous best (the season two finale).
Yep, 10.5 million.  This beat out all the rest of the premieres of the night, except for ABC's "The Millers" which got over 13 million viewers.
Congrats to YBF chicks Kerry Washington (we still have our Preggers Watch eye on you boo) and creator Shonda Rhimes and the entire cast for their record breaking night that had us laid out with heart palpitations afterwards...

Woman Involved In Capitol Hill Chase -- Was Postpartum Depression Or Mental Illness Involved?


 photo miriam_carey_zpsa0dee2a1.jpg
When 34-year-old Miriam Carey, who has been identified as the now deceased suspect in yesterday's Capitol Hill chase, was discovered to have possibly suffering from mental issues, it sparked a different conversation amongst the masses.

Find out why some are saying it's an injustice the unarmed mom of a 1-year-old was fatally shot, even though she tried to ram the barricades of The White House....
Plenty of developments have surfaced after yesterday's frightening lockdown on Capitol Hill.  The suspect who was identified as causing the lock down is Miriam Carey. 
With her 1-year-old daughter in her car, she recklessly drove into the barriers surrounding the White House and led Capitol police on a chase toward the Capitol.
It was reported that Miriam, who lived in Stamford, CT but was originally from Brooklyn, was unarmed, but her seemingly reckless driving in a super secure area and getting out fo the car afterwards led cops to believe she was a major threat.
Many know that making ANY wrong move this close to the White House or Capitol usually leads to security personnel shooting first and asking questions later.
Now, Miriam's mother, friends and employer have shed some light on the incident.
Apparently, Miriam, who works as a dental hygienist, told those around her that she believed her home was electronically rigged and President Obama was stalking her. 
Her former employer revealed to ABC News that she suffered a head injury over a year ago after some type of fall or accident and during her doctor evaluation, she learned she was pregnant. 
Miriam's mother told ABC News she believes her daughter suffered from postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter, Erica.
“A few months later, she got sick,” she said. “She was depressed. … She was hospitalized.”
Cops found severe medication used for emotional instability when they searched her Stamford home.
On December 12th, reports show Miriam was hospitalized for a psych evaluation after she said the city of Stamford was on lockdown (it was not) and Pres. Obama had electronically rigged her house. 
On December 21st, she had a confrontation with police after her boyfriend called authorities out of fear of their child's safety.  Then this past January, she received postpartum depression treatment.
Some experts believe there are psychosis issues involved as well since depression does not usually cause a person to drive from CT to DC to attempt to wrongfully enter the Capitol or White House. 
Many are outraged at the cops fatally shooting Miriam in her car (the child was not hurt and has been handed over to Miriam's family in Brooklyn) as she was unarmed.  But what are your thoughts, considering the super tight security around the Capitol?
[UPDATE] Miriam's family has now confirmed she suffered from postpartum psychosis, but was on medicine which seemed to be working.  They do not know what triggered this particular incident, but her sister said at Friday night's press conference that she believes the police could have handled the situation differently.

Meet Jay-Z's Newest Roc Nation Signees -- Steven Spielberg's Kids Sasha & Theo!


 photo ScreenShot2013-10-05at12539PM_zps6a695375.png
Jay-Z has a couple new super rich kids on his Roc Nation roster. He recently signed a sister/brother duo with an uber famous last name. Meet Sasha & Theo Spielberg inside...
Whip your hair over to the left Willow Smith....because Hov & 'em have two new super rich kids of a super famous parent on his Roc Nation management roster.  They're iconic Hollywood director/producer Steven Spielberg's kids, Sasha (23) & Theo (25).
 photo artworks-000029487825-nozn57-t500x500_zpsf7ba9b7c.jpg
Now, before you ask when Mr. Spielberg popped up with a black son, here's the deal: Steven's second & current wife, Kate Capshaw, adopted Theo before she married Steven.  She also had a daughter from her previous marriage.  Steven later adopted Theo as his own.  So, with Steven's one child with his first wife and his many kids (both biological and adoptive) with his current (this includes Sasha), there are 7 children total in the Spielberg-Capshaw clan.
Theo and Sasha arent just siblings, they're a musical duo who goes by the name of Wardell.  And their website reflects their new Roc Nation management as they've just released their first EP called Brother/Sister.
Theo also has some sharp DJ chops (wonder if he's cool with fellow super rich kid DJ Connor Cruise?) and Sasha dabbles in television creation like daddy.
She and Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones, just sold a tv show pilot called "Girls Without Boys" to ABC.  But Sasha told THR that music is still her passion and she'll find a way to balance both.
Ahhh, the sweet smell of Hollywood nepotism.  Can't live with it.  Can't live without it.

Chris Brown Talks Losing His Virginity At 8, Money, Regrets & Rihanna...


 photo ChrisBrowniHeartRadioMusicFestivalDaybekEnSOLngdl_zps8928462a.jpg
After showing off his new, more grown look (above) at the recent IHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas last month, Chris Brown continues his full on promo for his upcoming album, X.  The newest Nylon Mexico cover guy spoke to The Guardian in an in-depth, reflective interview that offers up a bit of insight into Chris' turbulent career, his biggest regrets (if any) with growing up so fast, and, of course, Rihanna.
It seems we learn something new about Breezy pretty often.  In his most recent interview with The Guardian, the cute "Fine China" singer revealed that he indeed grew up alarmingly fast, which possibly explains his curent career turbulence.  But he may not regret it as much as you would think.
Check out the eye opening highlights about manhood, women and dealing with the naysayers.
On losing his virginity at 8 to a 15-year-old girl:  "Yeah, really. Uh-huh." He grins and chuckles. "It's different in the country." Brown grew up with a great gang of boy cousins, and they watched so much porn that he was raring to go. "By that point, we were already kind of like hot to trot, you know what I'm saying? Like, girls, we weren't afraid to talk to them; I wasn't afraid. So, at eight, being able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at it. You can be the best at it." (Now 24, he doesn't want to say how many women he's slept with: "But you know how Prince had a lot of girls back in the day? Prince was, like, the guy. I'm just that, today. But most women won't have any complaints if they've been with me. They can't really complain. It's all good.")
On if he regrets growing up too fast and in the public eye: "Honestly, where I'm from, probably not. I think me being able to travel from the small town I was from, me already having a good IQ, and you know being intelligent, and regular stuff, I just had to learn more and more of the street life, you know, how to maneuver around a room full of wolves."
On dealing with naysayers: "You know, whether it be naysayers, people that won't say, 'Hey, I like that.' But as far as me being young, like, I don't regret it, I love it, being able to accomplish my dreams at an early age. That's just showing the kids that's coming up in sixth or seventh grade, I can do this. If I really stick to it, I can do it. 'Chris was my age when he did it.'"
On advice he'd give his 14-year-old self:  "Pay attention to details, details, details. I'm 24 now, so I'm making sure I'm on top of it, but back then I was just, like, whatever we're doing, I'm just glad to be here, you know?"
On the "Rihanna incident" being a big wake up call: "I had to stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy." But when I ask if that's how he thinks of himself when he looks back at that time, he snaps back, "No, not at all" as if the description had been mine and not his. "Cos you can talk with all my girls that I did mess with before, and it's never been a violent history." Then he switches again: "But at the same time, I learned from it, and it was almost like… I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it."
On his conviction after the "Rhianna incident": That was probably, like, one of the most troubling times in my life, because I was 18 or 19, so being able to feel the hatred from more adult people, you don't understand it at the time, because you made a mistake." But he knew one thing: "I'm going to come back, I know the music that I'm doing, how hard I work, is not just for nothing." He found himself writing seven or eight songs a night, "just out of pure… I wouldn't say heartbreak, but just pure ambition. To prove people wrong. So from there it wasn't really a problem. I just focused on what was necessary, abiding by all the stuff I had to do legally and professionally."
On lashing out at the D.A. & feeling unfairly picked on: "Community service, that shit is a bitch. I'll be honest – and you can quote me on that – that is a motherfucker there. For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA. I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas."
"They want me to be the example. Young black kids don't have the fairer chances. You can see Lindsay Lohan in and out of court every day, you see Charlie Sheen, whoever else, do what they want to do. There hasn't been any incident that I started since I got on probation, even with the Frank Ocean fight, the Drake situation, all those were defense modes. People think I just walk around as the aggressor, this mad black guy, this angry, young, troubled kid, but I'm not. I'm more and more laid-back. It's just that people know if they push a button, it'll make more news than their music. Attaching themselves to me, good or bad, will benefit them."
On his money ambitions: "I don't want to be rich, I want to be wealthy. There's a difference, you know? I'm rich, but I'm not in the $200m mark."
On his album selling ambitions: "...To sell ground-breaking numbers on an album. Just to be able to have that moment to say, I did it. So as like, I have a stamp. I would really like to mean something to the world, instead of me just being this fungus." Hang on a minute: fungus? "Yeah, like the decay of society. I don't want to be the decay of society, I'd like to be the uplifting part."
