Lana Del Rey Poses Topless On Upcoming Album Artwork

by

After delivering Chemtrails Over The Country Club and Blue Banisters in 2021, Lana Del Rey took something of a well-deserved break last year. However, now that 2023 is settling in, the “Dealer” singer is more than eager to begin releasing new music again.

Her ninth studio album was previously announced as Did You Know There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd. Aside from that, the public knew little – until the 37-year-old gave an update earlier this week.

In a black-and-white Instagram post that violates nudity guidelines, Lana poses topless. She sits on the floor, one arm behind her head. Her button-down shirt is left open, exposing her right breast. As NME reports, the NSFW image is the alternate artwork for the project.

The other accompanying photos see the singer in a lace bra and cardigan. A silk bow also hangs in her hair. Along with the cover, Lizzy Grant also gave fans a look at the tracklist and features. Standout titles include “Candy Necklace,” “Taco Truck x V8,” and “Paris, Texas.”

She was the sole guest appearance on Taylor Swift’s Midnights late last year. Still, Lana opted to work with all male collaborators for her album. Father John Misty, Bleachers, Tommy Genesis, and Jon Batiste will all appear on the forthcoming project in different capacities.

Lana’s initial release date for Ocean Blvd was March 10. “March 24 now, thanks,” she wrote to her followers earlier this week. “Box set, and merch.”

In December she shared her “Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd” single. It was produced by the vocalist herself, alongside Jack Antonoff, Drew Erickson, and Zach Dawes.

Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” Series Criticized For Sexualizing Teenage Characters

by

For many, Scooby-Doo undoubtedly remains a nostalgic childhood favourite well into adulthood. Even the old school cartoons can conjure up a laugh or a smile when you need it, but of course, Hollywood couldn’t help but give the franchise the prequel treatment. Earlier this month, The Office actress Mindy Kaling premiered her Velma series. So far, though, the critics seem to be giving it two thumbs down.

The first two episodes of the adult animated series landed on Hulu and Crave earlier this week. While the mother of two is on double duty as the executive producer and voice of the titular character, she’s also joined by a star-studded lineup. Sam Richardson brings to life the first Black Shaggy, while Constance Wu plays Daphne Blake.

Additionally, we hear from familiar voices like Glenn Howerton, Debby Ryan, Shay Mitchell, Jane Lynch, and even NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.

The series certainly sounds as though it has everything necessary to succeed, so where did they go wrong? According to Twitter users, the hyper-sexualization of high school characters is obviously a big red flag.

Various videos circulating online show clips from Velma. In one of them, a group of teenage girls are in the locker room, their figures obviously emphasized to attract attention. “These are supposed to be high school girls,” one frustrated user says from behind the camera in their Twitter post.

While Kaling’s series is on a different streamer, some are comparing it to the Netflix Original Big Mouth. Created by Nick Kroll, that project has earned a lot of backlash for similar reasons as it follows middle schoolers, specifically on their journey through puberty.

“STOP HATE WATCHING ‘VELMA’ OR WE’LL END UP WITH 8 MORE SEASONS LIKE ‘BIG MOUTH,” one social media user pleaded. Another wrote, “Everyone can tell [the show is] awful, but nobody can articulate why… It’s like it was intentionally designed to annoy everyone equally.”

Keep scrolling further for more Twitter reactions to Mindy Kaling’s Velma. Afterward, let us know in the comments if you plan to tune into the new series.

“Crazy In Love”: Blueface Tells His Mom He’s More Mature Than Her

by

The weekend is upon us once again, which means it’s time for another episode of Crazy In Love. Whether you love Blueface and Chrisean Rock, or love to hate on them, the couple’s on-screen antics have been bringing undeniable entertainment to audiences all around the nation.

Last week, we heard the two get into a lover’s quarrel. The 25-year-old was insisting upon calling his partner by a derogatory name that upset her. “You call me a bitch all the time, bro,” the reality starlet whines to her man in front of the camera. In the previous episode, he clapped back, “Okay, and you are one. I’ll call you a bitch right now! ‘Cuz that’s what you are.”

In the same show, fans saw an appearance from Wack 100. He was quick to label Chrisean as a “distraction” for Blueface. In the time since, DJ Akademiks has also spoken out in agreeance – particularly after the 22-year-old admitted to hitting the rapper in the head with a glass cup earlier this month.

On this week’s edition of Crazy In Love, it looks like we may get a break from the couple’s incessant bickering. Instead, the latest previews show the “Thotiana” artist preparing his other half to see his family. He even gets brutally honest with his mother in one of the circulating clips.

“I don’t know why you think that you’re special,” Blueface tells Karlissa Saffold in a video posted to @theneighborhoodtalk. Sensing her immediate disappointment, he back tracks, saying, “You very special, don’t get it twisted. You my mom and everything.”

The family matriarch comes back at him with, “You just said you have no remorse, like I’m leaving here with that!” In response, he drops a bomb, telling the woman who raised him that he feels as though he’s “more mature than her.”

“Love you, mother, but you just not my type of woman I guess,” Blueface concludes. “Not my type of lady.”

The same clip then cuts to a conversation between Chrisean and her man’s sister, who were able to remain composed during their chat. When the rest of the family joined in though, things became physical.

See this weekend’s preview for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kim Kardashian “Hates” Kanye West’s New Wife Bianca Censori According To Insider

by

When your past and your present overlap, sometimes it’s not as easy to reconcile as you might want. According to insider reports, Kim Kardashian has a strong dislike towards Kanye West’s new wife, Bianca Censori. Moreover, she’s an architectural designer at Yeezy HQ who West married in a private ceremony.

“Kim hates her,” said an insider. Sources claimed that she’s “hated” her for a long time, yet the reason is unknown. Allegedly, people working at Yeezy HQ knew that the reality TV star didn’t like Censori. Furthermore, we don’t know how much of this is just a personal issue or if there were more serious fears at play. “She’s pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls,” added a source.

Of course, without any sign from Kim herself, this is all just speculative. However, given the Chicago rapper’s recent rhetoric and behavior, it’s not shocking to hear rumors of more conflict. Back to Censori, according to Page Six, she has a master’s degree in architecture and has worked at the company for several years. Still, it seems Kanye’s particularly fond of architecture, as he redesigned plenty of buildings with his team.

TMZ reported Friday that the Yeezy boss married Bianca in a private ceremony. Although they reportedly did not get a marriage certificate to legalize the union, they both wore wedding rings on an outing. Moreover, onlookers recently spotted the two on what seemed to be a date at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.

While Ye’s harmful comments distanced him from the mainstream, don’t think that he’s fully slowed down. In December, he released the non-streaming track “Censori Overload” or “Someday We’ll All Be Free.” In it, he raps “And the Bible said, ‘I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage.”

Meanwhile, Daily Mail reported that the couple’s honeymoon was at the Amangiri resort in Utah’s Grand Circle of National Parks and Monuments last week. Moreover, this news comes two months after Ye and Kim finalized their divorce.

What do you think about Kim Kardashians alleged “hate” for Kanye West’s new wife, Bianca Censori? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay logged in to HNHH for the latest reported celebrity beef and updates in the Kim and Ye saga.

Ezra Miller Serving 1 Year Probation After Pleading Guilty To Vermont Burglary

by

Ezra Miller found themselves in no shortage of trouble throughout 2022. As Deadline reports, during the last 12 months, the non-binary actor got in an altercation at a bar in Iceland. Afterward, they took part in disorderly conduct at a Hawaiian karaoke bar.

On the same island, the New Jersey native was given charges of second-degree assault. They allegedly threw a chair at a 26-year-old woman. Additionally, a Greenfield, MA, 12-year-old child and their mother issued a restraining order, and 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes’ parents previously filed a protection order against Miller for “grooming and brainwashing” their minor daughter.

Last May, The Perks of Being a Wallflower star broke into a Vermont residence and stole liquor. While pleading not guilty a while back, it was said that they could face 26 years in prison for the offence.

However, Miller’s attorney has since worked out a plea deal. This allows them to serve just one year of probation as a punishment. “The court will impose the sentence here… We accepted your plea of guilty. We will impose the fine here $500, and a sentence of 80-90 days which is all suspended with probation. The term of probation will be one year,” Superior Court Judge Kerry A. McDonald-Cady said yesterday (January 13).

“As part of the plea agreement here, the state will dismiss without prejudice counts 1 and 2, of the burglary and petit larceny,” the judge later added.

Should Miller successfully complete probation, the actor’s charges will remain dismissed. “However, if there’s a violation of probation that was filed that a court found probable cause for, the state could refile the count 1 burglary,” the court told the 30-year-old.

Their attorney shared a statement after the hearing. “Ezra would like to thank the court and the community for their trust and patience throughout this process. [They] would once again like to acknowledge the love and support they have received from their family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in their ongoing mental health,” Lisa B. Shelkrot wrote.

Miller will specifically be responsible for registering with the Vermont department of corrections. They’ll also notify their probation officer of their address each month, and of any probable cause for a new criminal offence. Their consumption of alcoholic beverages will be lower, with breathalyzer tests always being a possibility.

In the summer, the entertainer issued a statement on his “intense crisis.” This led him to accept the ongoing “complex mental health issues.” They wrote, “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”

At the same time, reports began circulating that Miller was meeting with Warner Bros executives. This, in hopes of saving a project that’s been undoubtedly on the rocks amid the chaos.

YSL Judge Says Someone Smuggled Marijuana For Unnamed Defendant: Report

by

The RICO case involving alleged YSL associates has been filled with twists and turns. Eight co-defendants have already agreed to plea deals, including Gunna, and six others reportedly won’t go to trial because they haven’t yet secured attorneys. That means Young Thug and 13 others will face a judge and jury, and while the trial hasn’t officially begun, things are heating up in the courtroom.

We’ve been steadily covering the updates during the jury selection. Potential jurors are being vetted during the hardships portion of the process, and several have been excused. The judge recently ordered one juror to write a 30-page essay after they skipped a court hearing.

Now, Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Jozsef Papp has returned with another YSL update. On Twitter, Papp shared that “Judge Glanville announced there is going to be an investigation.” Someone reportedly attempted to smuggle in contraband.

They allegedly “brought clothing for one of the defendants with contraband (marijuana) in the shoes.” He further added, “Glanville said one of the defendants also refused with cooperating this morning (taking a shower and getting dressed) and defendants during transport yesterday were causing problems.”

Young Thug reportedly faces eight of the initial 65 charges set against the purported YSL affiliates.

“Mr. Williams has committed no crime whatsoever,” his attorney Brian Steel told ABC News. “We will fight this case ethically, legally, and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared.”

Those who copped to plea deals admitted that YSL was a criminal organization, while Thugger’s supporters state it is only a record label. There have been reports regarding the prosecution allegedly targeting Young Thug as the believed leader of YSL. If convicted, the rapper faces decades behind bars.

While Gunna seemingly enjoys his freedom, he has been a hot topic on social media. Both fans and the rapper’s peers have weighed in on his plea deal.

Kanye West Marries Yeezy Architect Bianca Censori In Private Ceremony: Report

by

Kanye West tied the knot with Bianca Censori, a Yeezy architect designer, TMZ reports. The two allegedly had a private wedding ceremony but apparently, they haven’t filed an official marriage license. Though it isn’t legally official, paps have spotted Ye rocking a wedding band when he showed up at Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. The publication’s sources claim that it’s a symbol of his commitment to Censori.

The publication identified Censori as the mystery woman during Ye’s lunch trips in Beverly Hills. Photographs of the two eating lunch together surfaced on Sunday, and then again, on Thursday.

However, Ye’s dropped clues about their relationship in recent times. Last month, Kanye West released a single titled, “Censori Overload,” where he raps, “And The Bible said, ‘I can’t have any more sex ‘til marriage’.”

Prior to the news, his former business manager, Thomas St. John, has had difficulty tracking down Ye to serve a lawsuit surrounding the Donda roll-out. Immediately, rumors circulated that the TLOP creator was M.I.A. However, paps spotted Ye at church around the holidays.

Bianca Censori began working at Yeezy in 2020, according to Cosmopolitan. Yeezy lists her as the head of architecture of the company. She has an MA in Architecture from Melbourne University in Australia.

The alleged marriage comes two months after he and Kim Kardashian officially finalized their divorce. The two wed in 2014 and welcomed four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

We’ll keep you posted on any more updates following the news of Ye’s supposed marriage to Censori.

Quentin Miller Accuses Big Sean Of Attempting To Deny Him Songwriting Credits

by

DJ Vlad is notorious for getting rappers to open up about some pretty wild topics throughout their interviews with him.

One of the most recent artists to sit down with VLADTV is Quentin Miller. During their conversation, the “Arkham Asylum” rapper dishes on an array of different topics.

However, one rapper he decided to hone in on, is Big Sean. It all begins when Vlad brings up other artists that Miller has worked with in the past, mentioning G-Eazy, Sean and Ty Dolla $ign. However, upon hearing the “Blessings” rapper’s name, he decides to open up about their experiences together. “Yeah I worked with Big Sean. Big Sean, man, that really broke my heart,” he begins.

He goes on to detail meeting him for the first time in the studio with Drake for the recording of the aforementioned “Blessings.” “When I get to working with Sean on this last project, the What You Expect [EP] with Hit-Boy, I’m part of three songs. There’s only six songs on there. Man, we texting and talking everyday. I’m pullin’ up on Sean’s crib, like, every other day,” he continues afterwards.

Miller says he had a full-circle moment when he noticed that there was a plaque for “Blessings” up in the Detroit native’s house. “Maybe, like, a week before the album drops, he’s just not responding to me at all. Then, like a week before, I’m in the studio with Hit-Boy, I just randomly hear in a conversation with Hit, ‘yeah, the album drops next week.’ I’m like, ‘wait, what?’ I didn’t even know,” says the “Potential” rapper.

When the EP did drop, his name wasn’t initially in the credits for the first three months. “I didn’t know we was doin’ the ghostwriter thing, ’cause if that was the case, I would’ve asked for some cash,” says Miller. Allegedly, Sean and his team were attempting to explain that they had to get all of the paperwork done firstly. However, everybody else who was involved in the project, had their respective names in the credits.

Elsewhere in the lengthy sit down, Miller details writing “R.I.C.O.” and sending it to DJ Drama. He says he wasn’t aware that Meek and Drake were using the reference track to release it on their own.

Of course, Meek Mill publicly called out Drake for using Miller as his ghostwriter during their notorious beef in 2015.

Lori Harvey Seemingly Denies Dating Diddy & His Son Justin

by

She’s laying some rumors to rest, and people believe Lori Harvey is addressing gossip about Diddy. In the summer of 2019, Diddy and Harvey emerged with their unlikely romance. The pair didn’t speak about their union, but they were photographed jet-setting from one end of the world to another. Paparazzi were on their heels at every turn, prompting social media to erupt about Harvey’s alleged dating past.

It was speculated that before her relationship with Diddy, Harvey also dated the Bad Boy mogul’s son, Justin Combs. In a new interview with Adrienne Houghton for E! News, the socialite seemingly addresses the rumors.

In a clip of the conversation, Houghton mentioned Steve Harvey. Houghton wanted to know the “one piece of advice” the model’s famous stepfather has given her “that really has stuck.”

“Just remember that you’re the prize, always,” Harvey answered. “That’s like, his golden slogan for me.” Houghton questioned what that meant for Harvey.

“It just means not like, compromising my values, my happiness, my peace,” she said. “Not settling for less than what I know I deserve. And not being afraid to walk away from a situation if it’s no longer serving me.”

When asked about the biggest misconception, Harvey didn’t hesitate with her response.

“Like, full-blown stories I’ve heard, I’ve dated a father and son before. Absolutely not true,” she continued. “I’ve even heard that I’m a lesbian at one point. So, you know, there’s been a lot of different things. A lot of stories, lot of misconceptions. I think they’re hilarious. I love the stories.”
