After the shocking news that Meghan McCain would be leaving The View after multiple seasons on the show, a fan suggested that Tamar Braxton would make the perfect replacement, and she’s actually considering it.

The star was previously a co-host on The Real from its premiere in 2013 until 2016. Tamar left the show after a mutual decision was made to part ways after differences with her co-stars Adrienne Houghton, Loni Love, and Jeannie Mai Jenkins. 

Meghan McCain’s decision came on Thursday morning’s show after years of live feuds with her co-hosts. Similar to Tamar’s experience on The Real, Meghan didn’t “think it was worth it anymore,” according to CNN.The remaining co-hosts on The View include Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Tamar saw the tagged tweet suggesting that she join the cast and she commented, “Tamar on the view?” to get some input from her followers. 

One fan responded, “Nah it’s not time yet. Maybe when you’re older. Most def should be hosting on some kinda show just not The View yet. We wanna see you having fun on daytime tv.”

Tamar Braxton has emerged in a new light this year after a rough 2020 for the star, starting with her suicide attempt and ending with a messy breakup with her ex, David Adefeso. With the fate of her role on of Braxton Family Values pretty much settled, Tamar could thrive in a new position that aligns with her past experience in daytime TV. 

Could you see Tamar as a member of The View?

Vince Staples has clarified an important detail about his classic album, Summertime ’06, noting that he did not intend its A and B sides to be a double album, but instead two separate albums.

“I always see people say how can Summertime ’06 be a double album when its so short but its not a side A side B thing. Its just two different albums & I put both of them out,” he explained. “Thats why they got the same intro. I woulda said something but I wasnt talking to you niggas bacc then.”

Summertime ’06 was released on June 30, 2015, and was met with widespread critical acclaim.

Bill Cosby’s release from prison has been one of the most sensational and controversial stories throughout this entire week. Numerous fans and celebrities, ranging from Phylicia Rashad to Boosie Badazz, have expressed excitement and joy for the disgraced comedian’s conviction being overturned, yet just as many people find it unacceptable that Cosby is once again a free man, including J.I.D. and Kid Cudi.

Then you have that subset of people who are solely concerned with getting their jokes off, and as a result, an entire corner of social media has been dedicated to Bill Cosby-related jokes. Earlier on Thursday, 50 Cent notably took part in making light of the Cosby situation, and now, several fans on Twitter have shifted their focus to R. Kelly.

Apparently, plenty of R. Kelly’s fans are convinced that Bill Cosby’s lawyers have achieved an impossible feat, and as a result, they think that R. Kelly should seek their services immediately. Other Twitter users noticed that R. Kelly was trending and used the moment to criticize the community’s mindboggling willingness to forgive disgraced public figures like R. Kelly and Bill Cosby so easily. From harmless jokes to full-on calls for R. Kelly’s freedom, check out some of the most entertaining Twitter reactions below.

After being falsely linked to Kanye West earlier this year, makeup mogul Jeffree Star is revealing some secrets about his sex life during a new episode of the BFFs Podcast. Hinting previously that he always gets DMs from rappers and athletes, Star claimed that he’s bedded a few of hip-hop’s biggest stars, as well as some professional ballers, on the podcast.

Making a controversial statement about his sex life with rappers and NBA players, the beauty blogger said, “A lot of NBA players and rappers [reach out] but I have a code where I’m never gonna out them. And a lot of them have threatened to murder me if I ever say their names. The sex is great, the names are invisible.”

For what it’s worth, Jeffree confirmed that he never hooked up with Kanye West, despite all of the rumors from a few months ago. However, he says he’s been with a few other rappers, which forces a few questions. Who are these so-called hookups that he’s been having? Given the fact that not many high-profile male rappers have come out as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, it seems as though some of our favorite artists have been hiding their true selves from the world.

He’s taking his secrets to the grave, but who do you think Jeffree Star is speaking about?

Fans got into a brawl during Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals, during which the Phoenix Suns clinched an NBA Finals appearance with a 130-103 blowout win over the Los Angeles Clippers. A viral video from the stands shows a group of spectators getting into a violent scrap.

Security could be seen escorting several fans out of the arena afterward.

Clippers writer Farbod Esnaashari says that the fan who sent him the video claims a Suns or Lakers fan started the fight. 

“The guy who sent me this video said it was a Suns/Lakers fan but honestly pretty hard to tell when it’s a random dude in a black shirt,” he explained.

The fan brawl wasn’t the only physical altercation during Game 6. Clippers guard Patrick Beverley shoved Chris Paul, resulting in an ejection

Suns’ Jae Crowder was asked about Beverley after the game and said that was the moment they knew that they “broke” the Clippers.

“We know they were broke. We know we broke them,” Crowder told reporters Wednesday. “There’s no better sign of defeat than during that moment. … Once we knew we got the game won, we knew at some point they would break. I think that’s basically what you saw. You saw a breaking point with one of their leaders in that locker room. And that’s a great feeling to have, especially in the playoffs, such a great feeling.”

Chief Keef has been around for the last decade, so it’s astounding to consider that the influential Chicago rapper is only 25-years-old. Innovating the drill subgenre in Chicago, the “Don’t Like” rapper has quieted down in recent years. He still releases several projects per year, but they mostly don’t manage to create much buzz. This week, Sosa went viral though for showing off his Jeep Trackhawk, which has seemingly been customized with an engine that roars like a literal beast.

When you hear Chief Keef coming down the street, you’ll likely be sure to do a double-take because the rapper is rolling around in a pretty unique whip. Showing off his Jeep Trackhawk on his Instagram Stories, Keef patted his car while the engine revved and made beastly noises. People are saying that his car sounds like a monster or an angry dog. Listen to the video below and let us know what you think it sounds like.

Recently, pop star Billie Eilish explained that Chief Keef is one of her favorite artists, revealing that he’s a go-to choice whenever she goes to a karaoke spot. “I don’t even know if they have Chief Keef at karaoke bars, but I would request some Chief Keef,” she said. Read more about that here.
