Bella Thorne Fan Begs Her To Sign Underage Underwear Photo, She Tells Him Off

by

Like most former Disney Channel stars, Bella Thorne’s career has had its share of ups and downs. As of late, the Shake It Up alum appears to be happier and healthier than ever. Still, that doesn’t mean she isn’t sometimes faced with unfortunate blasts from the past. In fact, many of them force her to recall her past mistakes. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she candidly spoke about how she addresses these situations, and the feelings she’s left with as a result.

Throughout their chat, the famous redhead spoke about everything from attending the Roberto Cavalli runway to her most recent film projects. What really caught readers’ attention, though, was when Thorne discussed her decision to refuse to sign provocative photos previously taken of her when she was underage. Specifically, the GQ shoot she did as a teenager has recently been causing her some problems.

Bella Sets Her Boundaries

Before she launched into the story, THR‘s journalist asked the 25-year-old if she’s often bothered by fans hounding her for autographs. “I don’t really care but I did tell someone off yesterday,” she confessed. “I normally don’t tell them off but they offended me. It was this guy and he was shoving photos in front of me,” the actress shared, noting that she looked away for one second and when her eyes returned, she saw the controversial cover.

“It’s super sexy and my butt is out and I’m wearing lingerie and I’m topless. I said I wouldn’t sign that. He took it away and then put it back in front of me again,” Thorne explained. Afterward, the man apparently pulled out yet another provocative image of her, begging for a signature. “I didn’t like it. It was inappropriate. There was some stuff there from a Candies campaign that I did when I was 16. It was clear that he wanted me to sign things that were viewed as sexy and even underage,” she vented.

Bella’s Industry Battles

As someone who spent most of her life in the industry, Thorne says she understands the business, but still doesn’t feel great about her role in it. “Enough is enough. But I get it, they have to make money and everyone has a job so I get that. It was just that I was under 18 and it’s inappropriate,” she told THR earlier this month.

Elsewhere in the interview, the Florida native admitted that, in hindsight, she wouldn’t make the same choices she did earlier in her career. Still, she doesn’t want to spend too much of her time reflecting on the past. “You also can’t spend your time trying to take back these moments or moments that you were too sexy or think that being a woman is only this or that,” she advised readers.

Rihanna’s 35th Birthday Saw Her Celebrating With A$AP Rocky & Other Close Friends

by

With the beginning of Pisces season comes a particularly important moment that deserves celebration – Rihanna’s birthday. On Monday (February 20), the ANTI hitmaker celebrated her 35th trip around the Sun, fresh off her legendary headlining performance at the Super Bowl Halftime show. Many in the crowd were simply excited to see the starlets return to the stage, but in her usual fashion, she shocked them all by revealing her second pregnancy as she sang.

The news was undeniably shocking, though it drummed up serious excitement regarding her upcoming outfits. In the past, we’ve seen Rihanna take some bold style risks, mixing sexy, feminine pieces with oversized masculine garments. For her birthday, she appears to have taken a refined approach, stepping out in a little white dress with an oversized coat dropped over her shoulders.

RiRi’s Big Birthday Bash

To celebrate her 35th, the expecting mother took a trip to her favourite Santa Monica eatery, Giorgio Baldi. She was obviously joined by her beau, A$AP Rocky, and other friends like Melissa Forde and Rorrey Fenty were also in attendance. As TMZ notes, the restaurant showed out for Rihanna the same way she does for them, covering the venue in balloons to help set the party mood.

She looked as glamorous as ever while blowing out the candles on her decadent cake. At the top of the black and white dessert was a stick figure recreation of her infamous cartoon Instagram profile photo, earning a laugh from plenty of fans. This new chapter of her life has only just begun, but so far, it sounds like 35 will be a big one for Rihanna. Not only will we meet her and Rocky’s new baby, but she’s also hinted at the possibility of a new album landing before 2023 is up.

During her first pregnancy, Rihanna put her “Fashion Killa” skills on full display. Even as her bump grew bigger and bigger, the Fenty Beauty founder continued to show out in sexy, skin-barring looks that live rent-free in our heads to this day. Specifically, Fashion Week in various European countries saw some of her most captivating looks.

Since announcing her second baby at the Super Bowl earlier this month, we’ve begun to see a preview of what the Barbadian beauty is planning to serve up this time around. Just a few days ago, she gave fans a small peek at her belly while sporting a Godzilla graphic tee and an oversized fur coat.

Iggy Azalea’s New Rolls-Royce Proves She’s Making Major Money Moves

by

In the month of love and romance, Iggy Azalea has one thing, and one thing only on her mind – making money moves. The mother of one has spoken candidly about her desire to watch her net worth grow on social media, and she’s got no shortage of revenue streams making her dreams come true. From selling her music catalogue in an astounding eight-figure deal to finally launching her highly anticipated OnlyFans, many are taking notes from her playbook at this time.

It remains unclear exactly how much her explicit adult webpage has earned her so far. Azalea has already been candid about denying some of the estimates thrown out by internet sleuths, though her latest luxurious purchase proves that her pocketbook certainly isn’t hurting. Just a few days ago, the Australian proudly revealed that she has a new baby in her life.

Iggy Expands Her Car Collection

She obviously already shares Onyx with Playboi Carti, but instead of getting pregnant again, this time around the blonde beauty is the proud mother of a new vehicle. On Thursday (February 16), she revealed the bright orange interiors of her new Rolls-Royce while sitting in the backseat and flashing peace signs for the camera.

“My new babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,” she gushed, clearly in love with the coveted car. According to DailyMail, Azalea’s model of choice is the Phantom, which can cost up to $1 million Australian dollars. Unsurprisingly, internet trolls were quick to criticize the “Work” hitmaker. “Probably not a smart financial purchase if you’re a rapper that has to start an OnlyFans to supplement your non-existent music income. But hey congratulations!” one hater wrote.

Thankfully, Azalea’s thick skin kept her from getting hurt by the comments. “I’ve done 70 sold-out arena shows with Pitbull in the last two years. I sold a portion of my masters for eight figures less than three months ago,” she reminded the Twitter user. “I have the same wealth manager as George Clooney. And yes, an OnlyFans. You’re boring!”

Iggy’s OnlyFans Antics

Since announcing the launch of her OF account, Azalea has been steadily feeding the masses with her thirst traps. From laying out on a yacht in a tiny bikini to showing Instagram all that she can without breaking their community guidelines, she’s clearly an expert at taking salacious snapshots. Most recently, rouge seems to be the model’s colour of choice for underwear.

First, she stepped out in MSCHF’s Big Red Boots and a tiny matching thong. Afterward, Iggy shared her relationship standards with the world via the embroidery stitched into her underwear. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Avril Lavigne & Tyga Hug Outside NOBU, Artists Leave Dinner In Same Vehicle

by

In the week following Valentine’s Day, there’s been plenty of relationship drama playing out in the media. The situation surrounding Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox continues to captivate curious fans as the actress denies any rumours of infidelity. At the same time, their good friend Avril Lavigne has been spending plenty of time with a certain rapper lately.

As TMZ notes, the Canadian rocker was engaged to Good Mourning creator Mod Sun last March. Earlier this month he spoke candidly with E! News about a song dedicated to her on his recently released God Save The Teen album, called “Avril’s Song.” Speaking on his relationship, the artist said, “I have found such a partner in this world to go through the chaos that life gives you. I have found that person. I’m with a real grown woman who has gone through it all 10 times over. She makes me a better person.”

So… Why is Avril Cozying Up with Tyga?

As shown in the images above, Lavigne was photographed outside NOBU in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 19). At the time, she was grabbing dinner with a group of friends – including “Rack City” hitmaker Tyga. In the snapshots circulating online, they stand by the restaurant’s valet booth and share a hug while waiting for their vehicles.

It turns out the unexpected duo was travelling together from the popular eatery. Many thought their public display of affection was nothing more than a goodbye hug. Now that we know they left NOBU in the same car, though, eyebrows are being raised online. A source tells TMZ that Lavigne and Tyga have become close recently. The nature of their relationship, however, remains unclear at this time.

Avril’s Relationship with Mod Sun

The pair’s aforementioned engagement took place in the world’s most romantic city – Paris. They romanced each other for approximately a year before the creative popped the question. On his new single dedicated to the “Sk8er Boi” artist, Mod markedly sings about Lavigne helping him through some of his darkest days and suicidal struggles.

“She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore / And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost,” are among the lyrics penned by the 35-year-old on “Avril’s Song.” Reports reveal that Mod Sun wasn’t at dinner with his partner and Tyga over the weekend, however, they did attend a pre-Grammys party as a couple earlier in February. Check back later for any updates on the situation.

OnlyFans Model “Coconut Kitty” Commits Suicide Following Pedo-Baiting Allegations

by

On February 12th, Diana Deets (known online as “Coconut Kitty”), committed suicide. The OnlyFans model, who also was a mother, had received backlash after editing her photos to look child-like. According to the New York Post, Deets had previously suffered from depression. Her mental state may have been triggered further by the negative comments she received in light of the “pedo-baiting” allegations.

In a 2021 interview with Rolling Stone, Deets mentioned, “I did get tired of people commenting on my looks when I was camming. It kinda bothered me.” The magazine notes that the content creator, who also worked as an artist, initially had an interest in selling acrylic paintings. “I was like, ‘How can I make money off my art?’ and that’s how I decided to do digital art,” she explained to the outlet, “and that’s how I created Coconut Kitty.”

“Coconut Kitty” Received Backlash For Childlike Edits

“Coconut Kitty” was derived from Deets’s desire to create a “real-life anime” character. As a result, the Californian mom transformed her photos to reflect a small chin and big eyes. “I just wanted to create a fantasy, just a character,” Deets shared, “and I was able to hide my identity and still make money off my art.”

Still, the “fantasy” created by the OF model was quickly criticized, with anti-porn advocate Kate Oseen accusing Deets of “grooming,” as reported by Rolling Stone. Despite the controversy that Deets’ career had stirred up, her friends and family mourn their loss. A statement addressed to “all lovers and fans of Coconut” was posted on the late performer’s Instagram account to inform her 5.4 million followers of her death.

OF Stars’ Friends & Family Mourn Their Loss

The post stated, “It’s unfair. Life is unfair. We wish you guys could get to know her the way her friends and family did. See, she was such a light to this world. Truly she was always glowing. You could never slow that girl down.” The statement continued to recognize Deet’s upbeat attitude, noting how she always wanted the best for everyone.

“She was so hard-headed and strong, but also just so kind with the biggest heart we have ever known,” read the statement. “She was always trying to lift everyone up around her.” Our thoughts are with Diana Deets’ loved ones at this time. RIP.

Lil Duval Claims Afrobeats Are The Death Of Hip Hop, Twitter Debates

by

Comedian and rapper Lil Duval provoked a not-so-humorous debate on Twitter last night (February 19th), which caused a back-and-forth conversation regarding the longevity of hip hop. In his tweet, the Guy Code star wrote, “Afrobeats might be the death of hip hop as we know it.” As a result, Duval sparked a heated argument amongst music lovers.

One user quickly snapped back with “hip hop will never die,” while another vocalized reassurance, explaining, “Afrobeats is a fad. It’ll come and go just like every other form of music that has tried to bite hip hop.” However, fans of the genre were not so happy with Duval’s statement, which even prompted pro wrestler EJ “the Judge” Nduka to respond. “We gon’ ignore those outlandish tweets you put out about your kid,” the Judge tweeted, “or we gonna focus on how uncultured you are?”

Duval Stirs The Pot Amongst Music Lovers

Deriving from Ghana and Nigeria, afrobeats has gained popularity as a genre that fuses together R&B, hip hop, dancehall, and house. Accordingly, Apple Music describes this category of music as “the infectious but indescribable sound of 21st-century Africa.” In recent years, artists like Burna Boy, Tems, and Rema have raised in popularity in North America, with the trio even performing during the NBA’s halftime show.

Twitter users were quick to jump at the differences between the two genres, showcasing how afrobeats and hip hop are not on the same playing field. “Hip hop and afrobeats will coexist, and we also bringing dancehall back, we the essence of music,” one user wrote. Another brought up the cultural significance of the genre by tweeting, “It stands to reason that the globally recognized sound of black people comes from Africa and not USA anyway. About time hip hop stopped representing us.”

Duval’s Past Tweets Receive More Backlash

As pointed out by angry commenters, this isn’t the first time the 45-year-old performer has sparked controversy. Duval was under fire after old tweets recently resurfaced containing uncomfortable comments about his daughter. Accordingly, the disturbing tweets (the same ones that the Judge referred to as “outlandish”) have only added flames to the fuel that angry music lovers are throwing his way.

Do you think that afrobeats threaten the existence of hip hop? Let us know in the comments down below. Make sure to check back later for more music and pop culture news updates.

Megan Fox & Sophie Lloyd Show Love To Each Other Amid MGK Cheating Allegations

by

This time last week, it seemed as though Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s future plans to walk down the aisle were all but officially cancelled. Many were celebrating the Super Bowl with wild shenanigans in Arizona last weekend. At the same time, the engaged couple found themselves in the midst of a serious feud. It still remains unclear exactly what lead to their blowout. Presently, the Transformers actress is doing her part to dispel any cheating rumours.

It all began when Fox markedly removed all evidence of the recording artist from her Instagram. Their romantic (and sometimes scandalous) photos were replaced with lyrics from Beyoncé’s LEMONADE. After being bombarded with comments from pop culture enthusiasts, she deleted her profile entirely. This left the world to speculate about the status of her engagement.

Megan Addresses MGK Infidelity Rumours

She sit back and let the drama unfold for a few days, but this past weekend, the mother of three made a return to social media. On Sunday (February 19), Fox chiefly shut down any gossip regarding infidelity in a screenshot from her notes app. “There has been no third-party interference in this relationship of any kind,” she assured followers.

“You need to let this story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now,” she later pleaded with gossip bloggers and internet trolls. In the hours since sharing the post, the black-haired beauty has continued to address the drama. Specifically, she’s shutting down speculation about Kelly hooking up with his guitarist, Sophie Lloyd.

Megan and Sophie Put On A United Front

As the rumour mill rapidly turned last week, Lloyd’s team issued a statement condemning the allegations against her and the “Wild Boy” artist. Fox is also doing her part to stop the hate from spewing, dropping by the musician’s comment section to send her some advice and words of love. “How me making a joke in order to absolve this girl of a hurtful accusation somehow turned into a confirmation of it – I will never understand,” she wrote.

“Why are people so…so dumb,” she went on before praising her partner’s tour mate for her insane talent. “Welcome to Hollywood. Your first unwarranted PR disaster. You have now been baptized by the flames of fame,” Fox then teased Lloyd. “It only gets worse from here, unfortunately. Just ignore it as much as you can. [Heart emoji] middle finger up.”

Amid the dozens of other replies pouring in Lloyd caught sight of the 36-year-old’s comment. “The internet is so wild!” she typed back in a short and sweet reply. “Sending so much love.” Read more about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s tumultuous relationship woes here, and check back later for more pop culture updates.

Doja Cat Propositions Twitter For Some Casual Foot F*cking

by

If there’s one thing you can count on Doja Cat to do, it’s raise eyebrows. Whether for shaving off her own and replacing them with intricate designs over her eyes, or showing up to Paris Fashion Week in some of the most outlandish looks we’ve ever seen, the recording artist knows how to keep the masses on their toes. While her wild fashion antics are seemingly on pause for now, her Twitter fingers couldn’t help but send out a salacious message on social media.

On Sunday (February 19), the “Say So” songstress continued her recent trend of sharing somewhat childish posts to her 5.5 million followers. Among previous uploads are “Everyone’s a p*ssy,” and the simple but always effective, “Butt.” On the Lord’s day, she switched things up a little, publicly inquiring, “Does anyone wanna come over and f*ck my foot?”

Doja’s Twitter Antics Continue

In the hours since posting, Doja’s proposition has earned upwards of 41K likes and thousands of responses. Among the funniest replies are, “Raw, or do we have to use a sock?” and “Yes… Wait, no.” Besides those seeing the humour in the situation, there are also hundreds of Twitter users making it known that they’re on the verge of unfollowing the California native as a result of her antics.

Despite what the haters have to say, the Planet Her hitmaker has made it clear that the only person she cares about pleasing is herself. Since she’s made a few changes to her personal style, opting to embrace her ultra-creative side, some have begged Doja to return to her former conventionally attractive outfits and makeup looks.

Earlier this month she gave followers a taste of what they’ve been missing. “Felt like doing a pretty beat for you boring ass lemon water bitches out there,” she wrote in an obviously salty Instagram post. “So you can shut the f*ck up now and leave me the f*ck alone, ciao.”

Blueface Calls Out Lil Baby For DMing Chrisean Rock, Akademiks Clowns “Thotiana” Rapper

by

Throughout their tumultuous relationship, we’ve seen plenty of tears shed by Chrisean Rock over the other women in Blueface’s life. As the 22-year-old’s star continues to rise, however, it sounds as though she’s the one causing her rapper beau to experience emotional anguish. During her time at the Super Bowl earlier this month, he called her out for taking a selfie with Rick Ross, and now, things are only getting more heated as another famous lyricist has entered the chat.

Over the weekend, the Crazy In Love stars were on Instagram Live when Rock revealed that Lil Baby had plenty of praise for her when they met recently. According to the reality star, the Atlanta rapper thinks she has plenty of “potential.” The compliment is obviously huge for her, but it seems as though Blueface is less than pleased to see his partner getting attention from other men.

During their stream, with thousands of fans watching, the 26-year-old made an off-colour joke about Chrisean having the “potential to f*ck” Baby. He also suggested that perhaps his fellow recording artist is interested in sleeping with him rather than his girl. “He wanna f*ck me too? Cuz wanna f*ck me? Any n*gga in your face is in my face. I’m right on your neck. N*gga f*cking you, he’s gonna be looking at me while he f*cking you? It makes no sense.”

In the hours since clips of the couple beefing began circulating online, Blue has been on Twitter candidly speaking his mind about the situation. He firstly posted a screenshot, seemingly from the Quality Control artist’s text conversation with his co-star. “It’s Baby,” the father of two wrote to Rock earlier this month.

In a message sent on Sunday (February 19) morning, he wrote, “Why people saying I was in ya DM [crying laughing emoji]? Why you ain’t tell them I’ma big brother!! I hate shit like that.” No response from the Baddies cast member is included in the image, but Blueface certainly had a lot to say in her place.

“Met my bitch one time talm ’bout he ‘big brother’ [crying laughing emoji],” the California native began. You ain’t no son to me, the truth could never be a diss. In other tweets uploaded to his account, the controversial rhymer wrote, “You in her DMs I’m in this bitch [phone]. I run this shit on sy. Be mad if you want to bitch, post my messages. I’m bleeding anything, come thru my territory without checking in. Welcome to Death Row.”

At this time Baby doesn’t seem to be phased by Blueface’s comments. However, DJ Akademiks did enter the chat with a few thoughts of his own on all the drama. “This [why] I told y’all Blueface should have stayed trying to seriously be a rapper instead of joining the reality TV world,” he began. “He can’t stomach the fact [that] his girl is the most viral thing rn.”

“He’s the sideshow,” the media personality pointed out. “Women consume the majority of reality TV content and they care about her, not him.” In another post, he drew attention to the fact that the “Dear Rock” artist is suddenly claiming Chrisean after seeing the other stars intrigued by her. “Remember at first this n*gga was acting like she was dirt?” Ak asked.

“Y’all see how when n*ggas down bad they come back around. Take notes ladies,” he ended his rant. Read what Blueface had to say in response to the Chrisean Rock Lil Baby drama below. Make sure to check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Rihanna Dons Huge Fur Coat In First Post-Super Bowl Pregnancy Reveal Outing

by

Once again, Rihanna is ready to prove that no one does maternity fashion quite like her. The Barbadian singer announced her first pregnancy in an incredibly stylish way last year. She markedly put her budding bump on display in a vintage hot pink Chanel coat. At the time, she and her beau A$AP Rocky casually strolled through New York, allowing a photographer to expertly capture their big reveal.

In her usual fashion, the Bad Gal somehow managed to top that by sharing news of her second baby at the Super Bowl. Rather than just attending the game in Arizona, Rihanna finally made her return to the stage last weekend. During a medley of some of her greatest hits, viewers quickly took note of her obviously growing stomach. The news comes just 9 months after the arrival of her son.

Many were obviously in shock over the news. For the most part, the response has been a shower of praise and well-wishes for the expecting parents. As the hype from her big performance dies down, Rihanna went out for the first time earlier this weekend. Her outfit was far less revealing than the ones she sported the last time she was with child. However, it still earns her major style points in our books.

On Friday (February 17), the 34-year-old hit the town for dinner at her favourite spot, Giorgio Baldi’s Santa Monica location. Paparazzi caught her on camera at the restaurant. She wore baggy denim jeans with various symbols printed across the front and a Godzilla graphic tee. To keep her (and the bit of stomach peeking out from beneath her top) warm, RiRi layered up with a long, brown fur coat.

She kept her accessories to a minimum, rocking black sunglasses and some layered chains. Rather than her usual high heels, the “Diamonds” hitmaker kept cozy in a pair of black and white sunglasses. It remains unclear who her date for the evening was, as no other famous faces appear alongside Rihanna in the new snaps.

As she awaits the arrival of baby number two, the fashionista has been spilling plenty of tea about her son. Not only did she recently tell British Vogue that she and A$AP Rocky didn’t hire a nanny when he was born, but she’s also spoken out about her desire for the young boy to embrace “fluidity in fashion.” Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
