Chrissy Teigen Curses Out Followers For Mocking Her Weight (@chrissyteigen)



Supermodel and proud user of social media Chrissy Teigen was pushed to her limit on Thursday night after posting a picture of herself at MTV's Upfront Party on Instagram. The model posted series of photos showing her sweet smile but commenters were focused on her weight. With comments like "You gained weight?" and "you gained weight momma" the model was insulted when the picture doesn't even show her full silhouette.


The model screenshot some of the comments and posted on Twitter a big insult to her alleged haters. "Honestly fuck you all." she tweeted."Why do I even open anything up to you."


She also added,"In what other real life situation would you walk up to someone and tell them they're fat or gained weight?"

Justin Bieber Detained at LAX Airport Over Criminal Past (@justinbieber)



Did Justin Bieber's criminal past almost hold him back from touching down in the states?


According to reports, the "Confident" singer was detained at the LAX airport earlier Thursday night after reaching the states by way of an Air Singapore flight from Tokyo.


Sources tell TMZ customs have acted fair in detaining the singer as the typical 'secondary' customs search is common for individuals with a troubled rap sheet. The singer was questioned for over two hours about his criminal record including his DUI arrest in Miami and the alleged egg throwing incident in LA.


It looks as though Justin kept his cool. He was seen leaving the airport and hopping in a black van with his friends and bodyguards.

Nicki Minaj Twerks While Debuting New Song on Instagram [VIDEO]


Look out Amber Rose, Nicki Minaj is trying to out twerk you. The rap queen recently caused pandemonium on Instagram again with her booty-shaking moves.


The rapper-actress posted two 15-second videos of herself twerking to what appears to be a trap beat from a new song. Although we can’t see her face, we definitely can see her butt as she winds to the infectious groove.


“This aint me. It’s a friend of mine,” she writes.


Yeah, right. You can’t fool us Nicki, we know it’s your booty.


Of course, the Young Money starlet’s twerking brought the thirst to her ‘Gram.


“Baby Nicki God bless ur mother,” wrote one follower, while another commented, “Omg.. Creamy Nicki, wanna lick dat ass.”


Ewww.


There were also a few haters. “Ugly nasty girl,” wrote one person, while another follower simply jotted, “Gross.”


Nicki Minaj is currently working on her new album, ‘The Pink Print.’ She told MTV News that the music will sound totally different from her last pop-driven album, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.’


“The tracks on [my next album] are back to my hip-hop roots,” said Minaj. “And I don’t think it’s something that I’m necessarily trying to do. As soon as I started working on my new album, that’s just the songs that I’ve been writing.”



Mariah Carey Buys Out Entire First Class Section of Airplane to Avoid Fans

Mariah CareyAlberto E. Rodriguez, Getty Images

Talk about a boss move. Mariah Carey just dropped $118,000 to book the entire first class section of a commercial airplane because she wants to travel in style to the Cannes Film Festival next month.


While some might say that’s a lot of dough for the diva to spend on one flight, others could compare it to purchasing a metro card for the train because once you have millions upon millions of dollars, a mere $118K is like spending the loose change you find in your couch.


And just why did ‘The Art of Letting Go’ singer want to section off the entire first class seating area? Apparently because she doesn’t want to get hassled for autographs and photos by fans, says an inside source according to Web Pro News.


Plus, if she’s bringing her children Monroe and Moroccan, the private area will be ultra beneficial because no mom wants a bunch of strangers pestering her kids — not even one who has huge bodyguards like Carey.


Hopefully, she’ll let her husband Nick Cannon sit in first class too, because from the outside looking in, it looks like she’s running the show.



Producer: Tupac Biopic Will be More Realistic Than "Notorious" (@SHAFT6816, @LTHUTTON)



The life of Tupac Shakur was a complicated one that fans have been waiting to see hit the big screen for years. Well, according to an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, film exec and friend of 'Pac L.T Hutton says the Tupac biopic should hit theatres next year. While they're still perfecting the cast, much of the heavy lifting has already been done.


The story will be directed by John Singleton, which is fitting as he directed Tupac himself in Poetic Justice and intended to have 'Pac star in Baby Boy before he passed. The movie is being produced by Morgan Creek Productions and Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films in association with Open Road Films and Program Pictures.


As Program Picture's CEO, Hutton was a big part of putting it all together and also spent time with 'Pac while working at Death Row in the '90s. He shared that everyone who was involved in 'Pac's life has been consulted to make it as authentic as possible, including his mother Afeni Shakur, Dr.Dre, Suge Knight, Jada Pinkett-Smith and others.


Hutton was also right in the middle of the whole Tupac vs Biggie feud, and says the film will address several rumors around the whole situation:


"People know bits and pieces. I was fortunate enough to be right in the middle of all of it, so I know exactly what happened. It's going to be covered like you haven't seen it before. We're going to dispel some of the myths about it. I don't want to give it away, but it's more realistic than Notorious. It's not a diss. It's just the truth.


"We play it exactly how it happened which both of them deserve. It was a little bit different than how they portrayed it in that film. This one is going to be organic to show that these two young black men were truly friends before the nonsense."


Are you looking forward to the Tupac biopic? What other MCs deserve their story to be told on the big screen?

Lenny Kravitz to Release New Album 'Strut'

Lenny KravitzMike Stobe, Getty Images

Lenny Kravitz is ready to strut his stuff. The musician has announced that he will release his 10th studio album, ‘Strut,’ via his indie label Roxie Records, which was named after his late mother, actress Roxie Roker.


According to Billboard, the four-time Grammy winner has secured a worldwide agreement with Kobalt Label Services to help promote and release the LP, which is due Sept. 23. The collection is the follow-up to his 2011 album, ‘Black and White America.’


“I am looking forward to my partnership with Kobalt,” Kravitz said in a statement. “They have a passionate team that share a high artistic view and I am confident they that are the right partner to carry out my creative vision for this album.”


During his 20-year career, the 49-year-old rocker has sold 38 million albums worldwide and is highly-respected among his rock peers.


Since his three-year hiatus from music, Kravitz has pursued his other passion — acting. He has appeared in such films as ‘Precious,’ ‘The Butler’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ franchise.


In 2004, he launched Kravitz Design Inc., which offers residential design services and product development and branding. His most recent project was creating the set for the ‘Queen Latifah Show.’



Yo Gotti Details Struggles on 'Been Thru It All'

CMGYouTube

Yo Gotti wants to prove that his CMG crew is just as dope as he is by releasing a new compilation mixtape, ‘Chapter 1.’ The first single from the effort is ‘Been Thru It All.’


Of course, a successful rapper introducing his crew so they can also get some shine is as common as a rapper introducing weed to a split Dutch Master, so it’s no shock that Gotti is doing all he can for CMG, which consists of himself, Zed Zilla, Milwaukee rapper Wave Chappelle and Snootie Wild.


While CMG is a group effort, Yo Gotti flies solo on this effort. “Flat broke, down, bad on my luck / In the trap hustling rappers like I’m stuck / I done been through it all,” he raps.


‘Been Thru It All’ reveals a softer side of the Memphis rapper, as he details some of his struggles growing up, because even the biggest coke-rap fan needs something different every now and then, right?


‘Chapter 1′ is set for release in the coming months.

Beyonce Questions Idea of Beauty in 'Pretty Hurts' Video


From body image issues and eating disorders to confidence and self-worth, Beyonce tackles the idea of beauty in her new video for ‘Pretty Hurts.’


Following the events at a beauty pageant, Beyonce is Miss 3rd Ward, one of the many contestants vying for the crown. The singer does everything from putting petroleum jelly on her teeth to getting catty with others in the dressing room. However as the video goes on, we start to see the pain that Bey is in throughout the process.


In one scene, she’s seen walking out of a bathroom stall and wiping her mouth, which is later followed by her actually throwing up in the toilet and shots of girls trying to control their weight.


And although she looks torn up when she’s at home or in the dressing room, Beyonce looks elegant in a turquoise sequined gown during the question-and-answer portion of the show. But her smile changes when the host, played by actor Harvey Keitel, asks what her aspirations are. After a moment of clarity (which involves a mental dive into a pool), she says, “My aspiration would be to be happy.”


The video then shows her breaking all her past pageant trophies as well as shots of other cosmetic fixes she’s made to get to where she is in the competition. The visual ends with an old clip of a younger Beyonce winning a pageant.


Beyonce, who’s just been named one of TIME’s most influential people, has really gone all out in starting the conversation about self-image and forces us to think about what we think beauty really is.



adidas Originals ZX 9000 'Negative'

SneakerPolitics

The adidas Originals ZX 9000 is one of those silhouettes that you don’t have to be a runner to appreciate. It’s build represents something greater than its purpose and with the right colorway it achieves perfection.


This particular pair gets it’s “Negative” nickname not from a bad disposition but rather a play on inverting the saturation on one of the original colorways of the model. With a rich maroon, deep blue and eye popping lime lined up it certainly is attention grabbing and that suede and mesh build ultimately only works to make the colors stand out even more.


These are available now at select retailers and in case you were wondering yes, they are at stateside shops like Sneaker Politics. So many times we see these fresh colorways and they are relegated to Europe only releases, it’s great that for once we get some of that love too.

Tree Plays Lonely Piano in 'Godlike' Video


Ever wondered what modern rap would sound like in a speakeasy? Tree shows you on ‘God Like,’ the second video from his stunning last project, ‘@MCTREEG EP,’ courtesy of Scion AV.


Tree brings his dopest characteristics to the table with his scruffy, pained delivery, and the visual boasts no frills as the Chicago MC fingers the piano in between cigarette pulls, dressed like an extra from ‘Reservoir Dogs.’


The video matches his music’s aesthetic – pared down, emotional, personal. There is no buzz, no star-studded co-signs or big name cameos. Tree stands out with his peerless brand of ‘Soul Trap’ and the video communicates that – it’s just Tree in a room with a microphone and a piano. What more do you really need?

Nike Air Max 95 'London'

Mita

Fall back Americans. While this pair of Nike Air Max 95s could easily hold it down for Old Glory the pair was actually crafted in honor of the United Kingdom’s Union Jack as a part of Nike‘s City Pack.


The Nike Air Max 95 “London” finds slabs of white and red leather between navy nubuck and mesh to give off the feel of the british flag flying high. As far as colorway goes these are hard not to love and pretty easy on the eyes in general. A close up look at the laceplate reveals that there are two grades of mesh at play with lighter laces that leap out at you.

Jason Derulo Performs Acoustic Version of 'The Other Side' [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]


When Jason Derulo is presented with the task of performing an acoustic version of one of his songs, he doesn’t falter. The 24-year-old singer welcomes the opportunity to allow his vocal chops to take center stage without the usual choreography he sprinkles into his vigorous performances.


For The Boombox’s Off the Record series, Derulo ditches the dance heavy grooves of his 2013 hit ‘The Other Side’ (which has hit the charts in more than 15 countries) and embraces a solo guitar to support his lyrics centered on a risque rendezvous. “Tonight, take me to the other side / Sparks fly like the Fourth of July / Just take me to the other side / I see that sexy look in your eyes,” he sings inside Avatar Studios in New York City.


The Ammo-produced song originally appeared on Derulo’s 2013 album ‘Tattoos.’ Now the effort also shows up on his new LP, ‘Talk Dirty,’ a reissue that debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 this week selling 44,129 copies. “I try to make sure that every single song on my album is as good as the last,” Derulo tells The Boombox. “That’s why I’m really excited to actually release this album because I actually think the half that [wasn't heard before the reissue] is better than the half that has been. This next half is really something.”


Take a look at Jason Derulo’s stripped down performance of ‘The Other Side.’

A$AP Twelvyy Gets Dark and Gritty in 'Xscape' Video


Boy, that was fast. Roughly two days after releasing his streets-approved single ‘Xscape,’ A$AP Twelvyy drops an accompanying visual. The dark and ominous clip features his A$AP Mob crew and a very special guest.


Directed by Simon Davis, the video takes viewers on a tour of the seedy side of the New York streets. From stick-ups to drug deals to hanging out on the block, the life of a hustler has its perils.


Harlem native Diddy makes a guest appearance in the clip, which is the ultimate co-sign for this new voice in rap. Of course, his Mob brethren and their leader, A$AP Rocky, make a cameo as well.


The overall sentiment of the video is that life for a Harlem kid shouldn’t be so rough.


No word on when the A$AP Mop compilation LP ‘L.O.R.D.’ will be released, but the streets are watching.

Judge Denies Chris Brown's Request To Leave Jail (@chrisbrown)



Chris Brown will remain in jail until the summer or much longer over his D.C assault case.


According to USA Today, the singer's lawyer Rob Kalunian requested that the singer be released from custody while waiting trial over an incident involving Breezy and his bodyguard allegedly beating up a fan.


The judge denies the claims because there were no changes that would excuse him from leaving jail.


His bodyguard Christopher Hollosy was convicted of assault on Monday and plans to appeal the charges, causing the delay in the case.


Brown has a court date for his California case next week but will not be present.
