Rod Wave To Give Out $25,000 In Free Gas In St. Petersburg, Florida
Rod Wave says that he’s giving away $25,000 in free gas for fans on April 9 in St. Petersburg, Florida. The initiative is in response to rising gas prices throughout the country.
“Gas high as fuck,” Wave said in a video posted on social media. “St. Petersburg, Florida, St. Pete, 727 — giving away free gas April 9 at the Sunoco on 34th right before you get on the bridge. April 9, I’m giving away $25,000 in free gas. So April 9, 12 o’clock, pull up and get you a free full tank.”
In the clip, he shows that it cost him $100 to fill up the tank for his car.

Police spokesman Ken Knight confirmed that officers will be working traffic duty for the event, as they expect large crowds in response to the giveaway.
“We will be there as long as the event is going on,” Knight said. “It is probably going to be quite a crowd.”
In response to the high price of gas, President Joe Biden recently announced that 1 million barrels of oil will be released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) per day.
Oil prices have since come down from the highs seen at the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine; however, Brent crude oil is still hovering around $100 a barrel.

Khloé Kardashian shot down fans’ accusation that she’s gotten butt implants after a fan page uploaded a video of her working out on Instagram, earlier this week. Kardashian labeled the theories “silly” in her response.
“Omg u can see her implants when stretching,” one fan commented on the post. “A 2nd layer of her bum on top of her bum,”
“Yea I see it too. Something in her butt. Like something extra,” another fan agreed to the comment.
“Lol silly goose,” Kardashian responded to the comments, as noted by Page Six. “It’s the seam design of the leggings. that’s so funny ha! You guys just want to believe anything bad.”

Not everyone took Kardashian at her word. One wrote: “Naaaa stop it !!! It’s not any seam, it’s clearly another layer of something else. It’s totally cool it’s her body as long as she’s happy.”
While Kardashian hasn’t admitted to getting work done on her butt, she admitted during the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reunion in 2021 that she’s had “injections” of some kind.
“Everyone says, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s had her third face transplant.’ But I’ve had one nose job, [with] Dr. Raj Kanodia,” Kardashian shared at the time. “You’re the first person in an interview that’s ever asked me about my nose. I’ve done, sure, injections — not really Botox. I’ve responded horribly to Botox.”

Sydney Sweeney On Her Grandparents’ Reaction To Her “Euphoria” Nudity: “Best Tits In Hollywood”
Sydney Sweeney says that she forgot how many nude scenes she shot for Euphoria when she invited her grandparents to the premiere of season two. In response, they told her that she had the “best tits in Hollywood.”
“I invited my entire family and I didn’t really think about [the nudity],” Sweeney told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, earlier this week. “I was like, ‘It’s a Hollywood premiere! You’ve got to come!’ We were all sitting next to each other and giant screen — ginormous screen.”

She says she soon realized that she “wasn’t thinking” and was embarrassed during her nude scenes. To Sweeney’s surprise, her grandparents didn’t have much of a reaction.
“They said I have the best t-ts in Hollywood,” she recalled.
Sweeney recently told the Independent that she feels her nudity in the show has taken attention away from the quality of her performance as Cassie.
“I’m very proud of my work in ‘Euphoria,’ ” she told the outlet. “I thought it was a great performance. But no one talks about it because I got naked.”

After being declared the victors, Miz turned on Paul, hitting him with his finisher move.
While Saturday was just Paul’s first official match, many fans have already discussed whether he will transition into WWE full-time. TMZ asked the YouTuber that very question during an interview, last month.
“To be honest, I don’t think it’s up to me.” Paul admitted at the time. “I think it’s up to the fans. I think it’s up to the fans to see if they agree with me thinking I’m good. I think I’m good, I’m f**king biased though because I’m me. If they like my performance and they like what I can bring to the table, then maybe I’ll entertain that convo.”

Blac Chyna Says She’s Refocusing Attention On Taking The Kardashians To Court
Blac Chyna says she’s turning her attention to her lawsuit against the Kardashian family, in which she claims the group “defamed” her and worked to get her reality TV show, Rob & Chyna, “killed.” The series starred herself alongside her ex-fiancé, Rob Kardashian.
“I plan to re-focus my attention on my trial against Kris Jenner and her daughters Kim, Khloé, and Kylie which starts in 13 days,” Chyna wrote on Twitter, Saturday. “When they got my #1 hit show killed back in January 2017, that not only hurt me financially and emotionally, that hurt my beautiful KIDS.”

Chyna goes on to say that she looks forward to being able to tell her children, Dream and King, that she did everything she could to seek justice.
“I’m taking them to court to stand up for my legal rights and to be an example to my kids that ‘what’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong.’ And what they did was so wrong,” she continued. “I am so thankful that a jury will finally listen to what really happened behind closed doors – the lies that were told and the damage that was done.”
The legal battle is scheduled to begin on April 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Rina Sawayama And Brazilian Drag Queen Pabllo Vittar Serve Fierce Looks In Their ‘Follow Me’ Video
If you’ve been following the work of pop girls who make it a priority to work with queer artists, like Charli XCX, Kim Petras, and Rina Sawayama, then you’ve probably already come across the work of Pabllo Vittar. The activist, drag queen, and singer-songwriter has been making and releasing her own music for years now, but recent pop looks from major icons like Charli and even Lady Gaga has put her on the map in a new way. So does this new collaboration with Rina, and the clubby, glitchy track is reminiscent of her own dance bop, “Comme Des Garcon.” For her part, Rina is thrilled to collaborate with Pabllo on both the song and the video itself.
“I have been such an admirer of Pabllo for so long — she is nothing short of an icon and so for us to collaborate on an original, I wanted a moment that felt fitting,” Rina said in a press release. “When she sent me the idea for “Follow Me” I was just in love with it immediately and the process from then has been a dream. From working on the music to the video, I’m honored to be a part of the song and be let into her world — I hope both hers and my gorgeous fans are as obsessed with it as we are.”
Pabllo said pretty much the same thing, calling Rina an “icon” as well and talking about how fun the video was to shoot. “I’m so excited to release this song with Rina — she is such an icon and I’m so pleased we managed to make this song work as it’s the perfect combination of our music styles,” the drag queen said in a statement. “I really hope the fans love it as much as we do. Shooting the video was so much fun as well, wearing iconic outfits, and strutting our stuff on the runway! SERVE!”
You better! Check out the clip up top.
