Kim Kardashian Says She Struggles Raising Her Kids Without Kanye: ‘It Kills Me’

Kim Kardashian recently shared she was having a hard time telling her kids about her situation with their father, Kanye West.

During the latest episode of The Kardashians, the reality TV star detailed her struggles with her children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm after parting ways with her husband.

After sharing how overwhelmed she was when he made those comments about Jews, Kim talked about her parenting issues.

“I love my life with my babies,” the Skims founder said in a confessional. “This week in particular has been so hard. Obviously, there’s just times in life when things get really hectic and I think you just have to tune it all out and realize that being a mom and being really present is the most important thing.”

Admitting she is “in the trenches,” Kim said, “I am the one doing all the daily stuff all the time. I do the morning routine, I do the night routine, it’s like a pit stop with race cars.”

“It’s like, ‘Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, do your hair, do your hair, do your hair, do your hair, like changing tires really quickly,” she shared before adding how she is trying to protect her kids and hide what their father is doing publically.

“I am just in protection mode of my kids and just try to hide everything,” Kim continued. “It’s just hard for me to figure out like if they don’t know anything, why wouldn’t dad come over for dinner?”

“Why isn’t dad at my things? That kills me. It’s the one thing that gives me anxiety, because then I’m embarrassed if people are going to say something at a game or a function.

“Is it safe? Is it dangerous? I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been managing it the best way I know how, because I want my kids to see a healthy dad, you know, it’s just a lot. So I take it day by day,” Kim said.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky continues to give parenting goals. The two are in Barbados, and Rihanna shared an image of Rocky holding their son, RZA.

In the picture, Rocky lifts RZA in the sky. She captioned the post “my Bajan boyz.”

35-year-old mogul Rihanna is the first female artist to have ten songs hit one billion streams on Spotify.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer celebrated on her Instagram page, writing ‘Bad gal bili.’

‘Wit no new album…lemme talk my sh*t,’ the Barbardian-born beauty joked, adding a winking emoji with its tongue out next to an emoji of the flag of her home country.  

Her last album, Anti, dropped in 2016.  

The monumental achievement follows Rihanna’s viral SuperBowl LVII halftime performance, where the former Fenty CEO showed off her baby belly, revealing she was pregnant with her second child.

Arguably one of the most influential singers of the 21st century, Rihanna would go on to release several follow-up, record-breaking albums.

Her 2012 album, Unapologetic, was Rihanna’s first studio record to hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The dedicated philanthropist also ventured out into multiple business ventures in the wake of her musical success.

Following the release of her sixth album in 2016, Rihanna founded Fenty Beauty in 2017.

Now regarded as one of the best makeup and skincare lines on the market, Fenty Beauty is used by 13% of cosmetics and makeup-users in the United States, according to Statista.

One year later, the Diamonds In The Sky singer founded her second successful business, a lingerie line she called Savage X Fenty.

Drops mic. Salute to ‘Bad Gal Bili’!

Hollywood Cuts DEI Execs Following Affirmative Action Ruling

by
women

Last week the U.S. Supreme Court stuck down Affirmative Action in higher education when they reversed affirmative action after 62 years. The Supreme  set new limits on affirmative action programs in cases involving whether public and private colleges and universities can continue to use race as one factor among many in student admissions. After decades of fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in films and television, both behind and in front of the camera, Hollywood is flipping the script.

In similar but unrelated news, four Diversity, Equity and Inclusion officers in Hollywood were fired the very next day.

Actress Yvette Nicole Brown took to her Instagram page and wrote:

In ONE day, FOUR talented, smart Black women lost their jobs — or “left on their own accord” in the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion space.

A day after #AffirmativeAction was gutted by the compromised and BOUGHT six GOP-chosen “Justices” #SupremeCourt

Actress Niecy Nash supported and reposted along with several others.

Billie Eilish tells Critics Shaming her Appearance to Suck my Absolute c***

Pop star Billie Eilish is undoubtedly one of the biggest successes of her generation, but that hasn’t made her immune from criticism about her appearance, which has changed over the past several years as she emerged into adulthood. Over the weekend, she took to IG to slam those who have shamed her appearance and called her a “sellout” amongst other things.

The Happier than Ever singer, who at 21 has been performing for over eight years, has received criticism about her changing appearance as her look has gradually changed from “tomboy” loose clothing to more feminine and fitted attire. She’s also changed her hair up over the past few years, prompting some people to label her a “sellout” to mainstream expectations of traditional beauty, especially after her recent Vogue cover (in which she was wearing lingerie and sporting blonde hair) and her MET Gala appearance where she donned a tight lacy black dress.

On her IG story, she wrote the following over a closeup of her face:

“I spent the first 5 years of my career getting absolutely OBLITERATED by you fools for being boy ish and dressing how i did & constantly being told i’d be hotter if i acted like a woman [laughing emojis] and ow when i feel comfortable enough to wear anything remotely feminine or fitting, i CHANGED and am a sellout….and “what happened to her” oMg iT’s nOt thE sAmE billie she’s just like the rest bla blah….you guys are the true idiots. LOL. I can be both you f***ing bozos. LET WOMEN EXIST :))))”

She then added a second photo where she wrote ““FUN FACT! did you know that woman are multifaceted!!!!!??? shocking right?? believe it or not women could be interested in multiple things.”

She followed that photo up with another up close photo in which she wrote:

“Also that femininity does not equal weakness???!!!! omg?! insane right? who knew….and also totally unheard of and insane to want to express yourself differently at different times.”

Eilish is just the most recent female celebrity to experience criticism about her appearance. Ice Spice received criticism about her appearance when she joined Taylor Swift onstage recently, Lizzo took to TikTok to clap back at “body shamers” last month, Doja Cat was recently accused of “uglifying” herself, and more.

Rapper/visionary Royce Da 5’9″ has gone on record several times stating that Redman is one of his favorite MC’s. The two rap heavy-hitters share a mutual admiration as Redman has sung Royce praises on social media while listening to the Detroit veteran. At the beginning of the clip Redman says, “Royce 5 fucking 9, n-gga. Listen to this fucking verse.” From there, he lets the song ‘Flesh’ play as he nods his head to the beat. Fast forward to now, it comes as no surprise that the two lyrical giants would trade verses on their latest track, “Royce & Reggie.”

Redman sets the tone of the song with his hard-hitting classic punchlines “women all in my DM/ Give ’em that super-dick/ Yeah, I Apollo Creed ’em.” Royce follows, showcasing his technical skills and lyrical prowess over the DJ Pain 1-produced beat.

The song is featured on Royce’s newly released The Heaven Experience: Lost Sessions EP. The six-track EP takes the listener on a rollercoaster of emotions from personal stories about his uncle to his transformation into a ‘Grown Ass Man’. Ion Wanna” feat. Courtney Bell and Traxx Sanders displays storytelling at its finest rounding out a perfectly well-rounded EP with no skips.

Always reinventing himself through new ideas, The Heaven Experience: Lost Sessions is part of a new virtual world Royce has launched in partnership with Passage, a Metaverse and NFT marketplace and blog.

The project is available across all streaming platforms through Heaven Studios Inc. in partnership with The Orchard. Fans can participate in the Metaverse-like experience by buying the Heaven Experience Pass on April 4.

“The more you achieve, the more you’ll realize how much sum’n like this means to you… I studied Redman like religion just so I could be reciprocal if I should ever one day have a chance to be,” he wrote. “I needed this to be his reaction to me because this was always my reaction to him.

“We all experience our own subjective versions of perceived success but what are the people who cheer for us, celebrating? The most visible, obvious things are the easiest to forget about over time and Legacy is everything to me.”

Blac Chyna Gets Face Fillers Dissolved on IG

Blac Chyna Gets Face Fillers Dissolved on IG

Blac Chyna has said “enough is enough.” And for once, she isn’t talking about drama. Instead, the artist, whose real name is Angela White, took yet another step in returning to her “natural” form this week when she got her face fillers dissolved on Instagram.

Explaining that she was tired of how she looked “as Blac Chyna” and “wanted to return to Angela” by getting her facial fillers dissolved, she said, “I’m tired of the look and it’s just not flattering. It’s just not what I look like — it like totally changed my face and I’m ready to get back to Angela.”

The video showed a medical professional injecting various spots of White’s face and lips with a syringe and catheter that contained an acid that will dissolve the filler within a few days. A few times, she appears to flinch as the medical professional explains that it might “pinch” or “sting.”

Earlier this week, she shared a video in which she explained that she got her breasts and buttocks surgically reduced, captioning it with:

“I want you all to be apart of my life changing journey.  I Reduced my breast and Gluteus maximus. ‘You all have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that.’ ~ Angela White.”

According to Healthline, “only hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, like Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero, can be dissolved. HA is a sugar naturally found in your body, mainly in your connective tissues. Mainly, HA works to keep your skin hydrated, which contributes to plumpness. The HA in fillers is a synthetic, or lab-made version. Fillers made from anything else aren’t reversible — but again, they won’t last forever, regardless. Fillers degrade over time, which is why you need to get follow-up injections to maintain their look.

The medical professional explained that White might experience some swelling over the next few days, but it would be temporary. No doubt, fans will eagerly be awaiting to see her new, more natural, look in the coming days.
