Fetty Wap, R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell & More Get Christmas Meals In Jail

by

Christmas meals are undeniably one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season.

Even from jail, it looks like some locked-up celebrities get to enjoy a Christmas meal. It appears as though artists like Fetty Wap and R. Kelly, who are currently serving time, will be enjoying a rather nice meal on Sunday (December 25).

According to reports from TMZ, the holiday jail menus are sounding pretty filling. The “My Way” rapper is serving his time at MDC Brooklyn, where he’s awaiting his sentencing for drug trafficking charges. His meal reportedly includes herbed Cornish hen, eggplant parmesan, dirty rice, baked beans, green beans, dinner rolls, fruit, pies and juice.

R. Kelly, on the other hand, is serving his 30-year sentence at MCC Chicago. The disgraced singer is guilty of various sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The world was witness to his sentencing earlier this year. His meal will consist of baked Cornish hen, green beans, cornbread dressing, mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole.

Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on five of the six counts against her for her role in aiding Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls. She’s currently serving her time at FCI Tallahassee. She’ll be eating Cornish hens, stuffed green peppers, garlic mac and cheese, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, red velvet cheesecake and fruit.

Although turkey is the most popular entrée for the most wonderful time of the year, it appears as if there isn’t any available behind bars.

Additionally, other celebrities currently serving time who will get a Christmas meal include Tiger King star Joe Exotic, disgraced reality TV star Josh Duggar and disgraced cheerleader, Jerry Harris.

The report also says that some buildings will be handing out gift bags to prisoners. They will reportedly include snacks, puzzles and games.

In other news surrounding the “Trap Queen” rapper, some new photos have recently surfaced of him in prison. In October of 2021, the New Jersey native was arrested and subsequently charged stemming from a conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

The photos were shared to his official Instagram account on Saturday (December 24). “Head up like a nose bleed Mr. New Jersey,” reads the caption.

His sentencing will take place soon, on January 18, 2023. He faces a minimum of five years, with the maximum time he could serve set at 40 years.

Shaq Asks GloRilla To Marry Him On Druski’s Live

by

It’s the holiday season- and, apparently, cuffing season for some people online. Even NBA stars are looking to score more off the court. Shaquille O’Neal recently asked GloRilla to marry him while she was with Druski on his Instagram live. Moreover, he commented “glo will u marry me” as the two had a conversation together. Since Shaq recently said that he was a “d**ckhead” in his previous marriage, it’s odd but funny to see the shots made.

Meanwhile, Druski was talking to the “FNF” rapper about new music, her next moves, and more. Specifically, the media personality was trying to get her to play some “street s**t.” The two were joking back and forth, teasing the new music, and switching between her look and the tracks. While Druski was trying to get fans some more heat, they were too busy laughing at Shaq’s comment. Many people urged Druski to invite Shaq onto the live as well, but either they didn’t notice or dismissed them.

With all of GloRilla’s success as of late, many might think Shaq is hopping on a bandwagon. However, the NBA icon is an OG. GloRilla said that he was one of the first celebrities to reach out to her after “F.N.F.” came out.

“It was so crazy, Shaq DM’d me,” the Memphis MC said. “I was like ‘Shaq?’ He said ‘I like your song, I like your new single.’ I clicked on his page ’cause I was like ‘Shaq?!’”

Funny enough, GloRilla didn’t know that Shaq was also a DJ. “He probably played your song, too,” said the radio host interviewing Glo back in July.

In all seriousness, GloRilla had an incredibly dominant breakout year. She released some of the best songs of the year, scored Grammy nominations, and came through with an impressive EP in Anyways… Life’s Great.

Blueface Beefs With NBA YoungBoy And The Island Boys

by

The holiday season usually puts people into a festive mood and promotes generosity. However, it appears as though this isn’t quite the case for Blueface.

On Saturday morning (December 24), the “Thotiana” rapper took to his Instagram account to go live with the Island Boys. Once the twin brothers joined, the trio immediately began to start showing throw shots at each other.

Kodiyakredd, one half of the Florida duo, was quick to instigate an argument with Blueface about each other’s girls. “She’s better looking,” the Florida native says about his girlfriend, before proceeding to wake her up to show her face to the Live. “Why would you wake your girl up to do her like that? Your b*tch is trash,” says the “Thotiana” rapper.

He didn’t show his girlfriend, Chrisean Rock, but Redd aired out his thoughts on her anyway. “Your girl’s a sloppy drunk, off that cheap ass liquor,” the Island Boy clapped back.

Evidently, the artists have a lot to say about each other. “We actually talented. We have personality, we have all that. You still talking, like boring me, making me snore and sh*t like that. Let’s talk about some gangsta sh*t, some jailbird sh*t. You happy you went to jail and bonded out, good for you. When your trial hits, you’re gonna hit it like Tory Lanez and cry on the floor, so shut your b*tch ass up. You got kids, go take care of them,” Redd went on to say.

His twin brother, Flyysoulja, wasn’t as involved in the arguments. “I’m telling you, your brother [Kodiyakredd] is a documented b*tch online,” the L.A. native makes sure to tell him. The live exchange lasted for nearly an hour in its entirety.

Additionally, the “Bleed It” rapper got into an entertaining, more light-hearted exchange with NBA YoungBoy. “You know I got more b*tches than you,” the 25-year-old says.

The Baton Rouge native subsequently laughs it off. “I’ma keep it gangsta.. I’ll say, I done came across some sh*t that show you be getting down and you ain’t f*cking with the Slime,” he replies. He goes on to invite Blueface to do a “bad girl’s club” with each other. “You get your group and I’ma get my group, and we gon’ see who got the baddest h*es,” he suggests afterwards.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Get Real About Their Leaked Sex Tape

by

Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s relationship is full of undeniably chaotic moments – many of which are now seen on camera for their reality TV series, Crazy In Love. Airing every Sunday on Zeus, the unhinged series follows the tumultuous pair as they feud with each other and their family members, all in the name of money and “love.”

Only two episodes of the show have aired, but the drama has been so unimaginable that audiences couldn’t fathom what’s possibly coming next. Thankfully, we now have answers, and they’re certainly juicy, to say the least.

This week’s edition of Crazy In Love finds Rock and her rapper beau addressing their recent sex tape leak. As you may recall, a video of the pair being intimate came out shortly after the 22-year-old declared herself “single” back in October.

At the time, a video of Blueface in bed with another woman was making rounds. Obviously, Chrisean the clip of the “Thotiana” rapper upset Chrisean. After apparently trashing his hotel room, she began a juicy Instagram Live session.

“I almost went to jail, yo, I swear to God,” the entertainer told viewers. “I broke everything in my hotel room in front of that n*gga… The TV, the window… He had to run from that hotel to another.”

In the same Live, Rock showed footage of Blueface’s baby with Jaidyn Alexis. Additionally, she really stirred the pot by showing the world footage of her and the 25-year-old in the bedroom.

On Saturday (December 24), @theneighborhoodtalk uploaded a preview of this weekend’s Crazy In Love episode. As the starring couple gets pedicures at the nail salon, they discuss leaking the video as well as the following implications.

Blueface is obviously confused by Chrisean’s decision, even pointing out to her that now, more women than ever before are DMing him. She remained calm and collected, letting him know that her hotline is also blinging just as frequently.

Ryan Coogler Reveals Original Plans For “Black Panther” Sequel

by

Ryan Coogler says that the original plan for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was to make a “father-son” story, prior to the death of Chadwick Boseman. Speaking with The New York Times, Coogler detailed how the plans changed following Boseman’s passing.

“That was the challenge. It was absolutely nothing like what we made,” Coogler said. “It was going to be a father-son story from the perspective of a father, because the first movie had been a father-son story from the perspective of the sons.”

Originally, T’Challa’s son, Toussaint, was going to play a much bigger role in the film. In the final version, fans only learn of his existence during an end credits scene. He also wanted to explore the impact of the “blip” event from Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.

“The first scene was an animated sequence. You hear Nakia talking to Toussaint. She says, ‘Tell me what you know about your father.’ You realize that he doesn’t know his dad was the Black Panther. He’s never met him, and Nakia is remarried to a Haitian dude,” Coogler explained. “Then, we cut to reality and it’s the night that everybody comes back from the Blip. You see T’Challa meet the kid for the first time.”

He further reflected: “We had some crazy scenes in there for Chad, man. Our code name for the movie was ‘Summer Break,’ and the movie was about a summer that the kid spends with his dad. For his eighth birthday, they do a ritual where they go out into the bush and have to live off the land. But something happens and T’Challa has to go save the world with his son on his hip. That was the movie.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ended up hitting theaters on November 11, 2022

Boseman passed away in 2020 following a private battle with colon cancer. He was 43 years old.

Whoopi Goldberg Doubles Down On Antisemitic Comments

by

Whoopi Goldberg reiterated her antisemitic comments on the Holocaust during a new interview with The Times. ABC previously suspended her from The View for claiming that the Holocaust wasn’t “about race,” earlier this year.

Speaking to The Times, Goldberg said that the Nazis didn’t originally target Jews on the basis of race. The conversation arose after Goldberg explained her name came from a “distant Jewish ancestor.”

“My best friend said, ‘Not for nothing is there no box on the census for the Jewish race. So that leads me to believe that we’re probably not a race,’” Goldberg said at one point.

Times columnist Janice Turner says she pushed back on Goldberg’s claim.

“But the point here, I say, is [the] Nazis saw Jews as a race,” Turner told The View host. She also referenced the Nazis measuring “the heads and noses of Jews to ‘prove’ they were a distinct race.”

“Remember who they were killing first,” Goldberg countered. “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision. It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making.”

Whoopi Goldberg originally remarked that the Holocaust “isn’t about race” during an episode of The View in February. She later shared a statement apologizing for the claim on social media.

Goldberg’s latest antisemitic comments come as Kanye West has come under fire for frequently making similarly offensive remarks.

Kim Kardashian, Doja Cat, & Chloe Bailey Share Sexy Christmas Eve Selfies: Photos

by

‘Tis the season! There’s so much to love about the holidays, from eating delicious food in the company of those you love the most to decorating your home in Christmas décor. One major part of the season that so often gets overlooked is the fashion of it all. Luckily, stars like Kim Kardashian, Chloe Bailey, and Doja Cat are here to remind us what expert holiday glam looks like.

Earlier on Saturday (December 24) afternoon, the reality starlet flexed her bold night-before-Christmas outfit on Instagram. “Believe in u,” she wrote in the caption.

From the tip of her pointy stilettos to the start of her sharper-than-a-knife jawline, the mother of four decked herself out in cheetah print. Her hair – still platinum blonde – shines white from the camera flash. Her roots can be obviously seen at the top of her head.

The look doesn’t exactly scream Christmas, but it’s certainly bold, and that, we admire. In the comment section, Paris Hilton gave her classic seal of approval, writing, “That’s hot” beside a fire emoji. 50 Cent’s boo, Cuban Link also dropped by to show some love. Chlöe did as well – after she dropped off some heat of her own.

For her part, the “Have Mercy” hitmaker worked with JPW Photo to capture some incredible images. They find her being deliciously unwrapped for the camera. In the first photograph, we get a close-up of Bailey’s glam and her stunning necklace.

“Santa baby,” her caption reads, followed by a red kiss emoji. In the subsequent shots, we see her teasing her figure behind an oversized fur coat, then standing, unwrapped, atop a pile of presents.

On the photographer’s own page, he shared other images of Bailey sporting an even more bare look – this one all black. Standing in front of a red background, the Atlanta native expertly works for the camera as she poses in sky-high heels.

Other sultry snapshots that have caught our eye come from Doja Cat. Also working with JPW Photo, the Planet Her songstress opted to wear curve-hugging red and white lingerie.

Rocking her signature extra-thin eyebrows, she was undoubtedly having the time of her life on set. Check out the pictures below, and stream our annual hip-hop holiday playlist here. Merry Christmas!

Yung Joc Pledged To Shave Head If Tory Lanez Found Guilty

by

Tory Lanez’s guilty verdict spread all over social media for the last couple of hours, with reactions and comments galore. However, some of those came from Internet sleuths who, for whatever reason, can’t let someone live a bet down. Clips resurfaced of an interview between DJ Vlad and Yung Joc, where the 40-year-old rapper said he’d shave his head if Tory was guilty. Well, the time has come, and many went back to the interview to show Joc those receipts.

Despite jokes around the foretold shave, the Atlanta MC will go through with it. In the Shade Room post that contained the interview clip in question, DJ Vlad commented with that confirmation. “Just confirmed he’s going to shave his head,” he wrote in the comments.

“If Tory is found guilty,” Joc said, “I’ll shave my head. I’ll shave my whole head bald.”

“Are you serious?” the media host inquired, to which Joc responded with a decisive “Yes.”

Interestingly enough, this isn’t Yung Joc’s first strange encounter with a new hairstyle. Moreover, he got a spray-on beard and people clowned him for it last year. Still, that time around, he took it quite well, using Boosie’s famous line of “Put your face on Live for $1,000.” However, back in 2019, he had some crazier things going on. The TV personality shaved a 3D portrait of Tupac Shakur on his head, which got stranger but less mocking responses.

Check out the comments of this post to see DJ Vlad’s confirmation / Via instagram @theshaderoom

However, this time, people bombarded him with requests, comments, dares, and more and more people online asking him about the bet. Joc is having fun with it, though, as he’s posted a few funny memes and references to the shave on his IG story. Some are reposts of other people, others are the clips of his bet themselves, and a few are just random memes he made or liked. Even if the bet didn’t go his way, at least he’s making light of his controversial support.
