Naturi Naughton Addresses Kiely Williams Relationship On “The Breakfast Club”

by

Naturi Naughton recently addressed her relationship with Kiely Willams and Adrienne Bailon, who were all in the group 3LW. Recently, Williams trended on social media for a variety of headlines, including her claim of an entanglement with R&B group B2K. Moreover, Naughton spoke earnestly about her group mate Williams’ claim and about their past beef. As an incredibly popular group, they fell victim to industry pitfalls and internal conflict. Overall, Naughton seems appreciative of her time and experiences, even with all the pain and struggles she’s processed.

“Chile… bless her heart,” she responded to Charlamagne and company’s questions about Williams’ claim. Also, she denied that 3LW as a group involved themselves. “God bless her. I don’t talk to her at all, but that’s why I was saying it’s almost miraculous and amazing. Adrienne’s heart, and her spirt, and the growth. When people grow and you grow up, you start to be like, ‘Oh.’ We actually have a lot more in common and we actually struggled in the same way. We were children manipulated by adults. So the truth is, what’s the reason for hate at the end of the day? I’m happy for her and she’s happy for me.

“Somebody just posted today ‘I’m waiting for the 3LW documentary,’” she continued. “I’m like, ‘What more?’ I mean, there’s a lot to talk about, I’m actually starting to write a book about all the s**t I went through. I guess somebody will figure it out. Call me, I’m down. I’ve said all my truths. At this point, I’m excited to grow and move forward. Building new friendships, and healing some of that pain. The truth is that that was a very hurtful time. But in a way, I look back at it and I’m like, ‘That was pretty cool.’ I was going on tour with Destiny’s Child. I lived a good life.”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown recently blasted Kiely Williams for bringing up his history of abuse. In fact, she also chimed in on the Megan Thee Stallion and Drake beef, saying he should apologize to her. Regardless of her relationships with the rest of 3LW, it’s clear that a lot of grey areas are at play. Still, come back to HNHH for the latest on Naturi Naughton, Kiely Williams, and 3LW.

Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox “Not Giving Up On Their Relationship,” Sources Say She’s “Still Upset”

by

Anyone who’s been celebrating the rumoured separation of Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly may want to think about clicking “delete tweet.” According to PEOPLE, the embattled lovers aren’t quite ready to call it quits yet. However, the former is still seriously upset about what happened over Super Bowl weekend. At this time, the public is missing the intimate details of the pair’s feud, though rumours of the singer cheating with his guitarist were running rampant.

“Megan is still upset but is not giving up on their relationship,” a source tells the outlet today (February 17). “He feels the same way. They are getting professional help because they want things to work out.” Earlier this week, before Valentine’s Day, they were attending therapy together. Following a lengthy session, paparazzi cameras caught them leaving separately, the emotion evident on Fox’s face.

After removing all traces of Kelly from her Instagram feed, following his enemies, and quoting Beyoncé’s LEMONADE album, the mother of three took down her entire profile. By that point, the internet already began piecing the puzzle together. Updates claiming that the Transformers starlet stopped wearing her engagement ring certainly didn’t help the breakup gossip. Even with the dramatic display of emotion, though, an insider points out that “she was never one to casually date.”

“She is with him because she believes it’s a long-term relationship. She isn’t just gonna give up on their relationship,” they added. “There are trust issues and this causes conflicts right now. Megan is taking one day at a time.” The pair first met in 2020 while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass. They later announced their engagement in January 2022, though it remains unclear when the wedding will take place.

Outside of the troubles in her love life, Fox has a lot to look forward to regarding her acting career. Filming is complete on Johnny & Clyde, and Naya Legend of the Golden Dolphin and The Expendables 4 are in post-production. This leaves her to focus all of her energy on Subservience, an upcoming sci-fi thriller.

Megan will star alongside 365 Days lead Michele Marrone in the project. It finds her playing a robot helping out a single father, though things ultimately take a dark turn. Check out the new look she’ll seemingly be sporting in the movie here, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kylie Jenner “Doesn’t See” Reconciliation With Travis Scott: Report

by

Kylie Jenner “doesn’t see” herself reconciling with Travis Scott, according to a new report from OK!. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum has been in an on-and-off relationship with Scott for years now. They share two children together and will continue to co-parent. The report from OK! cites a source close to the couple.

“[Kylie] has no idea what the future holds, but right now she doesn’t see any type of a reconciliation,” the source told the outlet. “At the end of the day, the only thing that matters to Kylie is what’s best for her kids, period. She knows Travis is an amazing father and that’s the only thing that she cares about.” The source also admitted that friends of the couple still wouldn’t be surprised to see them end up together regardless of Jenner’s current feelings. “They’ve had their fair share of ups and downs, so friends wouldn’t be surprised at all if they got back together again at some point,” the source explained. “No matter what happens in terms of their romantic relationship, Kylie and Travis will always handle things like mature adults.”

Jenner and Scott most recently called it quits at some point around Christmas. Another source for OK! explained that the issue doesn’t pertain to Scott’s abilities as a father. “When it comes to being a dad Travis is always there,” the insider said at the time. “But when it comes to their romantic relationship it’s more complicated.”

Last year, model Rojean Kar claimed that she and Scott frequently texted each other after working together on a music video. Scott denied the claims on social media, while Jenner did not address them. “It’s a lot of weird shit going on. An uninvited person was sneaking photos on what was supposed to be a closed set while I was directing a video,” he wrote via Instagram in October 2022. “I’m saying this for the last time: I don’t know this person. I’ve never been with this person. So, please stop with the continuous cyber games and the fictional storytelling.”

Reginae Carter Claps Back At People Tearing Down Her Relationship

by

Reginae Carter recently aired out her frustrations with critics of her relationship and how openly loving the two are. While her and her partner Armon Warren always show affection, some people ridiculed how young and naïve they seem. As such, many pointed out how much they seemed to rush into their status and into their affection. For example, one user prodded Carter to think more realistically “He literally didn’t have a passport before he met you but was buying hallow jewelry, be fr reginae.”

Still, Lil Wayne’s daughter was having none of it. “It’s really super weird to me when people get mad at you for loving your significant other out loud…” she tweeted. “Like I’m sorry you’ve played the side for so many years you don’t know different … but me ? Imma post wtf I want . Never have to hide s**tttttt.” Even with critics still making their points, she had a lot of people supporting her in the comments. “They want you to keep that s**t a secret so bad,” a Twitter user wrote in response. “But they couldn’t wait to blast you when you were going through it…keep loving and being loved out loud.”

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old recently clapped back at haters who trolled her boyfriend Armon gifting her a promise ring. “Y’all old asses mad at my promise ring but been in 10 year relationships with a bunch of broken promises,” she exploded on Twitter. “Get you somebody to take care of your time not waste it aunties. But anyways .. back to my amazing morning … Happy Holidays!” While people thought it was a bit too much, Warren’s message was still pretty sweet.

“So this is my promise ring to you baby, okay?” he said in a video clip. “This is my loyalty, this is my love. This is everything, this is me investing my time, everything into you. I only want to be with you. This is my promise.” Regardless of what you think of their relationship, come back to HNHH for the latest on Reginae Carter.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Accuses Snoop Dogg Of Lying About Relationship With Biggie

by

Diddy’s former bodyguard just accused Snoop Dogg of inflating the extent of his friendship with Biggie Smalls. Moreover, Gene Deal inquired as to why Snoop’s supposedly tight relationships with the New York rapper, as well as Tupac, weren’t highly publicized until after their tragic passing. “That’s something that sounds good for the media,” Deal declared of Snoop’s stories of friendship with the two. “You know, ‘I’m the peacemaker. I’m the one that’s showing love. I’m the one that’s out here when everybody else is dead, wishing that I coulda did something to put the s**t together.’

“It wasn’t all that love until ‘Pac was dead,” he went on in the interview with The Art Of Dialogue. “Wasn’t Big out in California three, four weeks and Snoop never saw him? Snoop never came and smoked nothing wit’ him. Snoop never came and ate nothing with him. But it was a lot of love? Come on, man.” Since the loss of the Brooklyn legend in 1997, the Dogg Pound leader repeatedly spoke on their relationship and mutual respect. For example, in an interview with the Rap Radar Podcast in 2018, Snoop recounted when he and Biggie discussed Tupac’s death. After a shooting happened while Tha Dogg Pound filmed the “NY, NY” music video in Brooklyn, Snoop felt Big was responsible. Moreover, they didn’t take action due to East Coast and West Coast tensions. However, the two rappers ran into each other in Atlanta and came to an understanding.

“It’s just me and him, one on one,” the Long Beach legend elaborated. “And he giving me the rundown about how much he loved Tupac and he didn’t wanna see cuz die. And a lot of shit that he said and did, he was wrong for. He just was apologizing like a man, to me. Just getting an understanding on what he did, ’cause I never tripped on him for what he did. That was a Dogg Pound video, that wasn’t a Tupac video. And we got shot at, and the direct shot came from him. But nobody got hit so we let it go. So with him apologizing to me, we became friends again.”

Meanwhile, Deal said that he couldn’t corroborate whether that conversation actually happened, as he wasn’t present. Still, he raised eyebrows at Snoop meeting Big in another city when he claimed they never linked in Los Angeles. “I can see you in Atlanta,” Deal said, “but I can’t see you in California in my own hometown? Huh? I’m so gangsta, I can come to your hotel room by myself in Atlanta. But in California, I can’t come and see you? Alright.” Check out the interview clip above and return to HNHH for the latest news in hip-hop history.

Bill Gates & Paula Hurd Quietly Dating For “Over A Year”: Report

by

The demise of his 27-year marriage to Melinda Gates couldn’t have been easy for Bill Gates. A year and a half after their separation was complete, however, the 67-year-old seems to be in a new romantic relationship. According to PEOPLE, the billionaire is dating a long-time friend of his named Paula Hurd, though she hasn’t yet met his three children.

Sources say the two “are inseparable.” She’s known as a “mystery woman,” though their inner circle says their romance is “no mystery.” They made headlines earlier this year while sitting next to each other at the Australian Open Men’s Singles. Tennis is a game they both love, and they’ve previously been chatty at other matches.

Before getting together with Gates, Hurd was with Oracle CEO Mark Hurd. In 2019, the 60-year-old tragically lost her husband, leaving her a widow. Before, she also worked in the tech industry, though she’s since moved on to become an event planner.

As for the philanthropist, this marks his first relationship since ending things with Melinda in August 2021. His 58-year-old ex was apparently seeing former reporter Jon Du Pre a few months ago. Ultimately, no confirmation came from the pair. At this time, the Gates matriarch seems determined on her path toward healing while continuing to parent her and Bill’s three children.

“I had some reasons I just couldn’t,” she said of her marriage’s dissolution in an interview with Fortune last year. “But the odd thing about COVID is that it gave me the privacy to do what I needed to do. It’s unbelievably painful, in innumerable ways, but I had the privacy to get through it.”

While Bill doesn’t seem to be hiding his new relationship from the world, there’s still much to be learned about Hurd. A report from PEOPLE reveals that she studied at the University of Texas and obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1984. Additionally, she has two daughters, Kathryn and Kelly, from her late husband.

Apart from their love of tennis and experience working in tech, Gates and his new girl are both avid philanthropists. Specifically, Paul has given large sums of money to Baylor University’s Give Light Campaign. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Cardi B & Offset Star In Leaked McDonald’s Valentine’s Day Meal

by

Cardi B and Offset appear to be receiving their own Valentine’s Day-themed meal for McDonald’s. A leaked image of an advertisement circulating on social media shows something called “The Cardi B & Offset Meal.” Included in the image are a cheeseburger and Quarter Pounder with cheese with a side of BBQ sauce, a large fries, an Apple Pie, and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, as well as a large Coca-Cola.

The leaked McDonald’s meal comes after the two recently filmed a TV spot for the fast food chain. The advertisement is reportedly going to air during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

While she and her husband will be appearing in a commercial during the Super Bowl, Cardi B has previously said that she turned down performing at the event in past years. Speaking with The Associated Press in 2019, she explained: “My husband, he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. … He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something. You have to sacrifice that. I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform. But there’s a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him.”

Cardi B and Offset are far from the only faces in hip-hop who will be appearing in commercials during the Super Bowl. Missy Elliott and Jack Harlow will be starring in an advertisement for Doritos. Additionally, Diddy is in a new Uber commercial.

The Super Bowl will kick off at 6:30 PM, ET on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. For the game, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on Jalen Hurts and the Philidelphia Eagles. During the game, Rihanna will be headlining the halftime show performance. She’s also rumored to be announcing a tour afterward. Check out the leaked Cardi B and Offset meal from McDonald’s below.

Vanilla Ice Says Madonna Wanted To Marry Him

by

Vanilla Ice says that Madonna wanted them to get married back in the 1990s. Reflecting on their relationship during an interview on the Just Jenny podcast, the rapper discussed their plans for marriage. Vanilla Ice also elaborated on what led to his and Madonna’s breakup.

“She even proposed to me. I mean things were going so crazy and fast man,” he claimed, before adding, “I was just like, ‘What? I thought the guy was supposed to do that. What do you mean? Wait a minute, this is too fast. I’m just getting started here and I’m way too young for this.’”

Later, Vanilla Ice detailed how the two met, recalling a performance of his in New York City. Madonna had been in attendance. Ice says that he spotted her during the concert “dancing her ass off” in the crowd. “I remember she came back to the dressing room and said hello to me, and she kind of gave me the sexy eyes and I was like, ‘I must be way, way mistaken on that,’” he revealed.

Afterward, Vanilla Ice explained that the release of Madonna’s iconic coffee table book, Sex, led to their break up. The controversial book features adult content including softcore pornography, simulations of sexual acts, and also sadomasochism. Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Big Daddy Kane, as well as Vanilla Ice, and more make cameos in the book. Ice says that he didn’t consent to his inclusion in the book, which made him uncomfortable. “I was dating her during that time, so I had no idea about a sex book, I’m doing my own thing. I said, ‘How could you do that to me? And why did you do that to me?’ I could’ve sued her,” Ice further recalled. “I didn’t want to. I was like, ‘I don’t need that controversy. Let’s just let it go and you go your way, I go mine.’”

Megan Fox Says She’s Been “Manifesting” MGK Since She Was 4

by

Megan Fox says that she believes she manifested Machine Gun Kelly into existence. Fox explained how she “made him” during a recently resurfaced interview with Glamour UK the outlet conducted last year.

“He’s literally my exact physical type that I’ve been manifesting since I was 4,” Fox told the outlet. “I’m also four years older than him. So, I think I made him.”

She continued: “My thoughts and intentions grew him into the person that he is, who knows what he would’ve looked like or been like if it wasn’t for me.”

Fox and Kelly met on the set of the film Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020. They started dating shortly afterward. MGK has said that he only took the job as a chance to meet her.

“He says that,” Fox told the mag. “And I do believe even the day before, he was trying to basically quit the movie, and his best friend, Rook, his drummer, and then also his manager, Ashleigh, were both like, ‘But your scenes are with Megan Fox.’ And he was like, ‘Fuck it! I’ll get on the plane.’”

“I didn’t know why I was taking the movie. I just knew I needed to do it for some reason. And then when I was at the table read, there was still one character that hasn’t been cast,” Fox said. “And I asked, “Who was playing that character?” And they were like, “Oh, it’s Machine Gun Kelly.’ I kind of knew the name, but didn’t, so I’m looking it up, and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to be in so much trouble…’”

Kelly proposed to Fox back in January 2022. They have yet to make their wedding plans public.
