Ice Spice Gets Compared To Lauren London After High School Picture Surfaces

by

Ice Spice is undoubtedly one of the most exciting new artists in hip-hop. Since the release of “Munch (Feelin’ U),” she began carving out her own lane in rap. She’s a product of the New York drill movement, and easily, one of the most compelling artists out of the subgenre. Songs like “Bikini Bottom” and “In Ha Mood” further catapulted her to stardom, and it appears that she’s accepted everything that comes along with fame, whether good or bad. For the most part, she seems unfazed at the attention she’s received. 

The thing is, Ice Spice seems like a relatively private person. Though she’s popped out a lot in recent times, she rarely reveals information about her personal life. It’s possible that she rather the music speak for herself, and use her future releases to tell her own story. However, Ice Spice’s generally reserved demeanor has undoubtedly led fans down rabbitholes to know more about her life. Fans previously uncovered a video of Ice Spice playing volleyball in her college days at Purchase College.

Ice Spice’s High School Yearbook Photo Surfaces

If you ever wanted to see what Ice Spice looked like in high school, take a look above. Earlier today, fans somehow found an old high school photo of the Bronx rapper from a yearbook. Many were taken aback by the photo, especially since she looks distinguishably different than she does now. Though that’s normal in the process of growing up, many people were shocked to see her without the orange afro or glammed up and ready to hit a red carpet event. 

She has yet to respond to the photo but it seems inevitable. She’s relatively active on Twitter these days, often chiming in on viral moments. Perhaps, she’ll end up catching the comparisons to Lauren London that spread across the timeline. “Ok I can see Ice Spice being in a movie with Lauren London playing as her sister,” one user wrote on Twitter. Though a few people compared their looks to each other, it seems that Ice Spice’s high school photo reinforced these comparisons even more. We’ll keep you posted if Ice Spice ends up responding. 

Twitter Thinks She Looks Like Lauren London

Ben Affleck Clowned For Looking Miserable At Grammys With Jennifer Lopez

by

One of the biggest celebrity weddings we witnessed in 2022 was undoubtedly between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Two decades after previously ending their first engagement, the former lovers made their way back to each other. They tied the knot in a stunning Georgia ceremony, and since then, have been enjoying life together as newlyweds.

While the Gone Girl star works primarily in the film industry, his multi-talented wife dabbles in both acting and music. Seeing as she’s had a generally successful career as a singer, Lopez was invited to attend Sunday’s (February 5) Grammy Awards as a presenter. Much to the audience’s avail, her husband chiefly tagged along as her date for the evening.

The newlyweds didn’t walk the star-studded red carpet, but the Hustlers starlet did make her debut on stage early on. She handed out the first trophy of the night, specifically for Best Pop Vocal Album to Harry Styles and his Harry’s House effort. Unfortunately for Affleck, his wife obviously wasn’t able to leave after carrying out her role.

Several times throughout the undeniably lengthy award ceremony, cameras panned to the 50-year-old looking increasingly bored. Whether watching Stevie Wonder perform “Higher Ground,” or simply soaking in the presence of other celebrities, the look on his face reads as though he’d rather be anywhere else than at the Grammys.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users are explicitly having a field day making memes of Affleck’s expression. Some pointed out that it’s sad to see him looking so miserable in the presence of his dream girl – especially now that he’s finally married her. Others, however, find it comedic that the father of three is so often caught on camera looking miserable.

“Ben Affleck is every introvert everywhere. You can see his batteries draining in real-time. Man is already at 23%,” one user later joked. Another person wrote, “Ben Affleck is every husband dragged to a work thing by his wife.” Furthermore, people expressed gratitude for the cameraman who kept eyes on the Argo actor throughout the night.

Angela Simmons & Yo Gotti Step Out For Grammys Date Night

by

After previously rapping about his crush on Angela Simmons in his “Down In The DMs” track, Yo Gotti has officially bagged the 35-year-old. Relationship rumours began circulating last September when she rapped along to the aforementioned namedrop during a night of partying. Shortly afterwards, they raised more eyebrows by posting matching vacation photos on their Instagrams.

Things were relatively quiet for the CMG head and his rumoured girl through the last few months of 2022. However, when the new year began, the New York native promptly let the world know that she was “happier than ever” with Yo Gotti. We’ve obviously been seeing more and more of the couple in public recently. This past weekend, for example, they spent their date night at the Grammys.

Like many other huge names in the industry, Gotti took a trip to Los Angeles to walk the red carpet and take in some astounding performances last night (February 5). His date for the evening, Simmons, looked as stunning as ever in a curve-hugging black dress. It came complete with a white feather trim around the bottom.

She also wore her hair in a slick updo, complete with a bang. For his part, the recording artist looked undeniably dapper in a black and white tuxedo. He opted to accessorize with a bowtie and shiny studs in his ears. In a video later uploaded to his social media, Gotti and the shoe designer walk through the venue as he tells the camera that Simmons’ feet are in pain.

“She gotta get it together,” the 41-year-old jokes as she struggles to keep up. After seeing the pair take on the red carpet together, some Twitter users chiefly expressed concern at their lack of smiles and genuine energy in some photos. “This Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti relationship seems very pressed [and] staged,” one user said.

“Idk what it is, just not looking [like an] organic, genuine relationship.” Another added, “Yo Gotti ain’t smiled since he been with Angela Simmons.” On the other hand, other social media sleuths simply praised the Memphis native for finally bagging his longtime crush.

MrBeast Helps 1,000 Blind People See Again, Twitter Reacts

by

YouTube star MrBeast helped 1,000 blind people see by paying for cataract removal surgeries that the afflicted could otherwise not afford. The video has reached over 60 million views as of Tuesday. Despite his good deeds, many users on social media were upset with him for milking the acts for “content.”

In the video, he documents the “10-minute surgery” needed to provide people with vision, as well as their emotional reactions.

“I don’t understand why curable blindness is a thing,” MrBeast wrote on Twitter, Monday, before adding, “Why don’t governments step in and help? Even if you’re thinking purely from a financial standpoint it’s hard to see how they don’t roi on taxes from people being able to work again.”

Regarding the backlash, he further added: “Twitter – Rich people should help others with their money. Me – Okay, I’ll use my money to help people and I promise to give away all my money before I die. Every single penny. Twitter – MrBeast bad.”

Most of the backlash stemmed from people arguing MrBeast is only doing charitable deeds for attention. Others also simply wanted to vent about the dire condition of the healthcare system in the United States.

One user clarified that they don’t “hate MrBeast,” but instead the system that leads to creators like him. They explained: “What I hate is a system where good deeds are only done if they’re profitable, where people are forced to rely on the unreliable benevolence of the rich because they have no other way of having their needs met.”

Latto Reacts After Haters Call Her Out For Wearing Same Panties In Different Photos

by

Latto has obviously never been one to let the internet dull her confidence. This weekend, the 777 hitmaker reminded haters of that while expertly clearing one of them on Twitter. On Sunday (January 29), account user @extraathique shared two curvaceous photos of the rap diva on social media, accusing her of outfit repeating.

For any normal person, sporting the same look generally isn’t questionable. For one of the most well-known up-and-coming lyricists, however, there’s far more pressure to keep your wardrobe looking fresh and fierce.

Interestingly, the photos the Twitter user is comparing don’t specifically find Latto donning the same threads. Still, she does tease a sneaky look at what appears to be the same pair of cheetah-print panties in both images. Apparently, wearing the same pair more than once is a carnal celebrity sin.

“Can’t afford new panties?” they asked the fashionista in the caption. It’s worth noting that they failed to officially tag her in the mean post. On the left, the Atlanta-based starlet wears a hot pink Juicy Couture sweatsuit. She looks in the bathroom mirror while a photographer captures her bodacious behind.

In the right image, Latto opted for a Canadian tuxedo look, sporting low-rise denim jeans with flashy pocket bling and a fur-trimmed cropped jacket as she looks back at the cameraman.

While she may not have been directly mentioned, the 24-year-old still got word of the hate and didn’t hesitate to clap back at the immature account.

“Oh no, it’s the panty police,” she drily wrote, earning upwards of 90K likes since yesterday afternoon.

Many are coming to Latto’s defence in the replies. “N*ggas really finna act like they ain’t ever washed and wore the same pair of draws before,” one person clapped back.

“Bruh there’s packs of like 12 or more you can get on Amazon that all look like that,” another pointed out. “@Latto is right and wants to stay that way,” someone else chimed in. “Continue to be normal. Your true supporters respect it. Don’t go broke to keep up with social media opinions.”

Aside from the internet haters dissing her for getting sufficient wear out of her panties, Latto has also been keeping her fans entertained with new music. This past weekend, she dropped off a freestyle over SZA’s S.O.S. joint, “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”

Beyoncé’s New Madame Tussauds Wax Figure Earns Mixed Reviews On Twitter

by

Once you achieve celebrity status, one of the highest honours you can have bestowed upon you is a wax figure recreation at Madame Tussauds. Surely the marker of an icon, anyone who’s been recreated has been posed with by millions of fans and is likely well known all around the world. However, the museum hasn’t managed to nail every celebrity they attempt to turn into waxwork – especially not Beyoncé.

In 2004, the London location firstly unveiled its statue of Queen B. It’s since been dubbed the “drunk clubbing girl” version. The figure’s short dress leaves little to the imagination and facial inaccuracies are nothing less than embarrassing. Still, that didn’t stop Madame Tussaud from trying again.

Four years later, the Hollywood museum shared its take on the mother of three, and in 2009, the LA shop did the same. Unfortunately, both of them were major flops, seemingly white-washing Beyoncé and failing to nail important elements like her hair and facial structure.

Recent years have seen other botched wax figures, but in 2023, Madame Tussauds is the closest they’ve come to nailing the Houston starlet. On Friday (January 27), the Berlin location’s take on the vocalist surprisingly surfaced online.

The statue’s look is inspired by her 2018 “On The Run II Tour” alongside her husband, Jay-Z. A black and white Balmain look that she donned during the couple’s show in Manchester was chosen. As Yahoo notes, it was part of their Resort 2019 collection.

For the most part, Twitter seems to be divided on Tussaud’s latest attempt. “This kinda looks good but her eyes look off,” one user wrote earlier today. “She looks [white] in the face.”

Another person chimed in, “There’s so many terrible, offensive wax figures of Beyoncé that I actually think that this one is decent.”

Twitter has certainly been talking about the new wax figures, but that’s not the only conversation that Beyoncé has sparked as of late. Last weekend, she returned to the stage for the first time in years, taking over Dubai to put on the performance of a lifetime alongside her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy.

Kylie Jenner’s Givenchy Noose Necklace Earns Her Significant Backlash

by

Unfortunately for the Kardashian-Jenner family, it often feels as though they can’t go a day without being criticized. Seeing as they have a large family, most of whom specifically choose to spend their time in the public eye, it’s not exactly surprising. After so much criticism in past years, though, you’d think they’d stop repeating the same mistakes. Most recently, the youngest sister, Kylie Jenner, is facing significant backlash for some of her Paris Fashion Week outfit choices.

Firstly, the internet has been having a field day with the makeup mogul’s animalistic outfit for the Schiaparelli couture show. While sitting front row – alongside an equally as eye-catching Doja Cat – she donned a curve-hugging black dress, complete with a lifesize, realistic lion’s head on her torso.

While the materials used to create the majestic creature Jenner wore were faux, haters are still upset over her apparent promotion of wearing animals. However, PETA has made it known that they’re in support of her jungle-friendly fit, even publicly praising the socialite and brand for their creative work.

After obviously causing controversy at Schiaparelli, the California native stirred the pot with Givenchy. From afar, her outfit looks relatively normal, consisting of a bright blue dress and mid-length pink sparkly boots. Up close, though, you can see that the accessory worn around her neck actually doubles as a noose.

As Page Six notes, the controversial piece made its debut in the French brand’s Spring 2022 collection. It appeared on the runway in October 2021, at which time social media heavily criticized it.

Upon seeing new photos of the 25-year-old in Paris, outraged Twitter users have been speaking out. “@givenchy & @KylieJenner yall support slavery? Because why would Givenchy create a noose necklace understanding the atrocities of slavery globally?” one user pondered.

“And, why would you, Kylie, wear a damn noose necklace and you have a HALF BLACK DAUGHTER & SON?! True racists,” they added.

Another person openly asked, “This woman has no shame at all. Is she picking her outfits on purpose knowing very well they will create controversy?”

Nia Long & Terrence J Link Up After Beyoncé’s Concert In Dubai

by

Nia Long’s recent heartbreak isn’t stopping her from living her best life. In the latter half of 2022, the 52-year-old uncovered the truth about her ex-fiancé, Ime Udoka’s infidelities in their relationship. Much to the pleasure of several famous figures, she left the basketball coach behind in wake of all the drama.

Since then, a number of suitors have tried shooting their shot. Back in October, Cam’ron made it known that he was throwing his hat in the ring with a flirtatious DM. It subsequently appeared on his own feed after failing to attract a response.

“Hey stink,” the Dipset rapper wrote at the time. “I  was giving you some time to yourself till I reached out. Your perseverance as a strong Black woman through this turbulent time has been something to behold. You shouldn’t be taken advantage of and exploited as you did nothing to deserve this. Especially all over these sports networks. You’re bigger and better [than] that.”

While nothing seems to have transpired from the New Yorker’s attempt at finding love, Long has since been spotted with several different men. Firstly, she and Omarion made headlines at the premiere of her latest film. The B2K alum shared a video of him and the black-haired beauty on the red carpet. In it, she grabs his hand, leaving him obviously blushing and smiling.

Despite the internet’s immediate speculation, she was quick to clarify that she’s “single AF” for the time being.

Long’s next big stop came after a flight to Dubai to watch Beyoncé’s extravagant return to the stage. The event was undeniably star-studded, with Chloe and Halle Bailey, DDG, and Kendall Jenner all making the trip to see the show.

Another famous face in attendance was 106 & Park‘s Terrence J, who was seen having a laugh with the often-rapped-about starlet over the weekend. In a circulating video, she giggles away while the actor helps her out of a luxury car.

Of course, the clips have caused some to tweet about Long’s ex, joking that he has to watch her virally get her lick back without being able to do anything about it.

Aside from her recent romance rumours, Nia Long has also been in the headlines lately for her work in Netflix’s You People. She stars in the film alongside Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, and Lauren London. Within the plot, the latter two try to navigate a relationship despite their family’s distinct cultural differences.

Check out the trailer for that movie here, and let us know who you’d like to see the Friday actress link up with next in the comments.

Kylie Jenner & Doja Cat’s Wild Paris Fashion Week Looks Have Twitter Talking: Photos

by

2023 has been off to a strong start so far. Several celebrities are already making major money moves less than a month into the new year. So far we’ve seen Iggy Azalea take over OnlyFans and Beyoncé’s long-awaited return to the stage. Now, the stars are markedly flocking to Europe for the various shows at Paris Fashion Week.

Over the years, some famous faces have established themselves as staples at runway shows. You can almost always guarantee that at least one of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters will be in attendance. This time around, it was the family’s youngest, Kylie, who carried the torch.

The socialite has had a busy few days out and about in the city of love. Over the weekend, the paparazzi snapped photos of her donning an extravagant blue coat, tiny purse, and minimal glowy makeup on her way to the Maison Margiela display. While that outfit was certainly noteworthy, it has nothing on what she wore to the Schiaparelli S/S 2023 show.

Jenner was born on August 10th, making her sun sign a Leo. This placement has undeniably bold confidence. It’s often symbolized by the king of the jungle. Designers at the brand put a clever play on this, dressing the 25-year-old in a larger-than-life lion’s head on her right shoulder.

The picturesque accessory was looking perfect alongside her curve-hugging black gown. The makeup mogul’s hair was worn back in an elegant updo, providing perfect contrast with the bright blonde mane she was carrying on her upper body.

Celebrating the big moment on her Instagram, Jenner shared a photo dump with more snapshots of the creative fit. “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,” she wrote in the caption. “Thank you @danielroseberry and @schiaparelli for such a special morning. Wow, I loved wearing this faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials. Beautiful beautiful.”

Of course, the Kylie Skin creator wasn’t the only one to capture the world’s attention with her outfit. Doja Cat similarly broke the internet, though her look was far more out of the box and saw her covered in red from head to toe.

Aside from her wild Schiaparelli outfit, fans of Jenner have also been discussing her son’s new name. He was previously given the name Wolf. Shortly after, the mother of two let the world know that she was hunting for something more suitable for the young boy.

Read all about the moniker that she and Travis Scott landed on here. Afterward, let us know which celebrities you think have been killing it at Paris Fashion Week in the comments.

Yung Miami’s Golden Shower Confession Causes “Pee Diddy” To Trend On Twitter

by

Of the many celebrities to dive into the world of podcasting, Yung Miami has undeniably become one of the most successful. Since landing Diddy as her first guest, the mother of two has interviewed fellow artists like G Herbo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kevin Gates. All the while, her hilarious antics and raw honesty have kept the world laughing non-stop.

For her first episode of 2023, the City Girl was finally joined by her fellow Floridian, Trina. The two discussed plenty of juicy topics, including the current status of the rap game, being from Miami, and of course, they shared some shocking bedroom secrets.

At one point during their chat, Caresha revealed that she enjoys golden showers, or being peed on during sex. “I don’t know, it just do something for me,” she admitted during their game of Resha Roulette. Afterward, Trina proclaimed her friend the “freak of the week.”

Technically, Yung Miami is single, but she still spends plenty of her free time with Sean Combs. Unsurprisingly, once Twitter got a hold of the podcast episode, it wasn’t long before “Pee Diddy” began trending across the platform.

Even some other celebrities correspondingly got in on the discourse. Early on Friday (January 20) morning, Lil Duval subsequently tweeted, “Yung Miami said she like to get peed on? Yea she’s f*cking billionaires.”

Later this morning, Lil YG kept the jokes going with a repost of a Dave Chappelle sketch previously aired on Comedy Central. In the clip, the comedian markedly channels disgraced R&B vocalist R. Kelly – who famously peed on some of his victims – while singing “I Wanna Pee On You.”

Of course, the golden showers aren’t the first salacious confession we’ve heard from the “Twerkulator” rap diva on her show. In the past, she surprisingly admitted to keeping her baby daddy, Southside, on her roster of sneaky links.
