Blueface is primarily a rapper, but what you probably know him best for is all the drama surrounding his relationships. Moreover, he’s always done a great job, for better or worse, of capitalizing on this interest and building a brand off of it. The California MC just partnered with the Zeus Network, who are behind Baddies and many other series, for a new rap game show called Rap Queens West. In a new promotional video that spoofs Mr. Rogers, he explains that they’re looking for female rappers to audition in this new hip-hop game show. One lucky winner will walk away with a $1 million deal with Blue’s label MILF Music, courtesy of them and Zeus.
“It’s a beautiful day at Zeus today!” Bleuface starts off the announcement clip below. “It’s a beautiful day at Zeus today… Would you be mine? Would you be mine? Hello, everyone. I am back, I know it’s been a while since the last time you’ve seen me. I’ve, uh, moved on from the big baby to a Barbie. And as you can see, it is still a vibe all the time.
“I can take water, turn it to wine,” Blueface continued. “I can take a b***h that can see, and make her blind. *laughs* So, if you would like to join this movement, pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you next. We are looking for the best, the newest, the most original female rap artist that we can find. I love women: you’ve seen what I’ve done with Jaidyn, you’ve seen what I’ve done with Chrisean. I value them from all walks of life. There’s no weight limits, no height limits. We might take a fat b***h, we might take a m*dget.
“I would like to invite you to audition for my show, Rap Queens West,” he concluded. “We’re looking to give away a million-dollar deal on behalf of MILF Music and the Zeus Network. So, don’t be shy: audition, subscribe, follow, share. We approve this message! It’s a beautiful day, at Zeus today! It’s a beautiful day at Zeus today… Would you be mine? Would you be mine? It’s a beautiful day at Zeus today, it’s a beautiful day at Zeus today… Would you be mine? Would… you be… mine?” For more news and the latest updates on Blueface, keep checking in with HNHH.
The Price is Right icon Bob Barker was iconic in the entertainment industry, particularly in television and radio. Sadly, the revered figure passed away on August 26 at 99. From 1972 to 2007, Barker blessed the living rooms of hundreds of millions of The Price is Right viewers, but his career stretched far beyond the legendary show.
Barker also hosted Truth or Consequences from 1956 to 1975 and the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants for several years. Further, his cameos and appearances on other sitcoms and films continued to etch his name into Hollywood history. However, his true imprint was his ongoing advocacy for animal rights—something he even incorporated into his The Price is Right hosting gig. Those who loved him will miss his presence. Here, we remember the life and career of the late star.
Before The Fame

Runners-up (from left, following Miss Wells) are: Miss Israel (Ilana Goren); Miss Brazil (Rejane Viera Costa); Miss Venezuela (Maria Campoli) and Miss England (Jenny McAdam).
Bob Barker’s origins may be surprising to some people. He spent most of his childhood on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. His father was one-quarter Sioux, and his mother was not Indigenous. This made Barker one-eighth Sioux, which he took much pride in. Barker went to grade school on the Reservation, and his mother was a teacher at the same school.
Later, during World War II, he went to Drury University on a basketball scholarship but had to pause his studies to enlist in the United States Navy Reserve in 1943. He trained as a fighter pilot there. While on leave, he married his high school sweetheart Dorothy Jo Gideon. Once the war ended, he returned to Drury and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

Bob Barker married his high school sweetheart Dorothy Jo Gideon in 1945. They had been dating since Barker was 15, after meeting at an Ella Fitzgerald concert. Unfortunately, she passed away in 1981 after being married for 36 years. The two never had any children. Barker shared that this was because they didn’t want any and didn’t feel like their busy schedules would allow time for them.
Barker never remarried but had a close friendship with Nancy Burnet, whom he met in 1983. Coincidentally, they met at an animal rights event and naturally continued their fight for animal rights together. Despite the public’s opinion or word choices, Burnet referred to Barker as her “great friend” in her statement regarding his passing.
Bob Barker Worked His Way To The Top
Meanwhile, Barker’s media career began in college, where he worked at KTTS-FM radio. After graduation, he and his wife moved to Lake Worth Beach, Florida, and Barker started working at WWPG 1340 AM, where he was a news editor and announcer. Next, Barker moved to California in 1950 and reached an entirely new level. With his experience in radio, he was given his own show, appropriately titled The Bob Barker Show. This show lasted six years.
His success here led to his jump from radio to television. In 1956, producer Ralph Edwards sought a new host for the game show Truth or Consequences. He selected Barker specifically because he liked his voice. Barker auditioned, got the job, and hosted the show from 1956 to 1975. Interestingly enough, he was actually hired to host The Price is Right while still hosting this show.
The Legacy Of The Price Is Right
It didn’t take long for Barker to become the face of The Price is Right. However, the show did not start with him as the host. The show’s original version ran from 1956 to 1966 and aired on NBC and ABC. Mark Goodson and Bill Todman were the producers of the original version and the revived version. The CBS network was only interested in being the home of the show’s revival in 1972 if Bob Barker hosted it. So, he began hosting on September 4, 1972—over 6,000 episodes. It contributed to the show being the longest-running game show in the United States. Barker maintained professionalism, no matter how excited or ill-skilled the contestant was while playing the game. However, he also had his share of clever comments during certain moments.
Barker & Animal Rights

Further, Barker ended every episode of The Price is Right by suggesting the audience have their pets spayed or neutered to help control the pet population. In fact, he used $25 million to start the DJ & T Foundation, an organization that helps fund clinics that offer spaying and neutering for pets. His other practices concerning the protection of animals reverberated throughout his career.
He stopped dying his hair in 1987 because the hair products were being tested on animals. He also became a vegetarian and stopped hosting the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants because of the fur coats that were given to the winners. Barker donated $5 million to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and $2.5 million to PETA. Both organizations named something after him as a tribute.
Health Issues
Barker had his fair share of health challenges, but he pursued through them all. The Price is Right is a weekday show, and Barker rarely missed an episode. He suffered a blocked artery and a stroke but had successful surgeries after both. He also had several minor run-ins with skin cancer due to his tanning. However, he consulted with a dermatologist the entire time and encouraged others to do the same. More recently, in 2015 and 2017, he had two falls, but they only resulted in minor physical injuries, which he recovered from with stitches. It is unknown if he was suffering from any health challenges before his passing, as sources have said his death was of natural causes.
Bob Barker’s Legacy
Bob Barker leaves a legacy in the television world that will last forever. Over his career, he won 19 Emmy Awards and was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1976. He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2004. Many game show hosts have admired his work and considered him the standard they hope to reach someday.
Drew Carey, who has been hosting The Price is Right since Barker retired, feels the most responsibility in continuing his legacy. As soon as he began hosting, he carried on Barker’s trademark closing by saying, “Get your pets spayed or neutered,” and used the same type of microphone Barker had. Bob Barker’s presence will be missed by those who knew him, whether in person or through their TV screens. His legacy in American television will continue to live on and be immortalized forever.
Despite the conflicting reports surrounding Jamie Foxx’s health over the past few weeks, the multi-talent’s family is making it abundantly clear that he’s doing fine – and is looking forward to the future. It’s now been over a month since he suffered from a serious “medical complication” (now said to have been a stroke) in the midst of filming his upcoming Netflix project. While we haven’t seen new photos or heard from Foxx directly, his Instagram feed recently lit up with a post reassuring fans that he’s improving amid claims that family and loved ones have been preparing for the worst.
Though the Ray actor’s relatives have kept mostly quiet throughout all the drama, his daughter, Corinne, recently dispelled some of the hurtful gossip circulating. “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support,” she wrote on social media last week. Even though he’s apparently back on his feet, Jamie and his daughter have opted to take a break from hosting their game show, Beat Shazam together as he works toward healing.

For now, Nick Cannon will take over those duties on their behalf, and according to Deadline, the Foxx’s have even bigger plans for the future. In 2024, their next project, We Are Family is set to launch. The outlet reports that the game show will feature “non-famous relatives of celebrities performing duets with their hidden famous family member.”
“We Are Family will feature a studio audience entirely comprised of 100 contestants playing through multiple rounds of clues and gameplay to win up to $100,000 each by correctly guessing which celebrity the performer is related to before they are revealed,” a synopsis further explains. Are you excited to see Jamie Foxx back in action on a new show next year? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
Megan’s compilation album Something for Thee Hotties shows up in Jeopardy’s “Rappers” category. Once new host Mayim Bialik reads the clue off the screen, contestant Lucas presses the buzzer almost immediately. “Who is Megan Thee Stallion,” he answers to the fine tune of $200. Something for Thee Hotties, released back in 2021, hosts both previously unreleased singles and freestyles from the rapper. While this certainly is a clear show of her celebrity, this isn’t the first time the “Plan B” rhymer has been mentioned on the nationally-syndicated series. In 2019, Megan’s “Stallion” moniker was the answer to the following: “Oddly, female rapper Megan Pete calls herself ‘Megan Thee’ this word for a male horse.”
Jeopardy Features Megan Thee Stallion Again In Latest Airing
Megan Thee Stallion has been quite as of late, though she was recently spotted celebrating her birthday. The 28-year-old is currently in the midst of her ongoing legal battles against Tory Lanez. Supporters and spectators alike have continued to comment on the 2020 shooting incident, with no word coming from the hip-hop star since the trial has begun. Others have gone on to show Meg love during her absence, including friend and “Freaky Girls” collaborator SZA. “Jus wanted to show some love to Meg,” the singer wrote. “Your[e] beautiful and we’re all rooting for you [white heart emoji].”
