Blac Chyna & “Prison Bae” Jeremy Meeks Team Up for Secret Project

Well, this is an odd pairing. Blac Chyna and “Prison Bae” Jeremy Meeks are apparently running in the same circle nowadays.

Chyna shared a photo holding onto Meeks on her Snapchat on Wednesday (Aug. 30). But before rumors start spreading that the pair might be hooking it up, it seems Chyna and the felon-turned-model were working together on a photoshoot.

More models could be seen in other pictures Chyna posted. However, the Lashed salon owner did not offer any details as to what project she was working on with Meeks.

Chyna posted the unexpected photo on the same day another photo was making headlines for Meeks. Also on Wednesday, the model sparked engagement rumors after he shared an Instagram story with Topshop heiress Chloe Green wearing a large diamond ring on her left ring finger.

However, a rep for the heiress quickly shot down the rumor simply stating “Chloe’s not engaged.”

Between Chyna’s drama with Rob Kardashian and rapper Rarri True, and Meeks cheating on his wife and mother of his children with Green, I’m sure the two had interesting relationship stories (and advice) to share with each other.

Trump Treasury Secretary Refuses to Commit to Putting Harriet Tubman on $20 Bill

45 and his crew are certainly doing a horrible job at trying to convince us they’re not a bunch of racists. The Secretary of Treasury gave us one more example of how much this current administration hates black people by failing to support putting slavery liberator Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.

RELATED: Ben Carson Thinks Harriet Tubman Should Be on the $2 Bill Instead of the $20 Bill

In a Thursday (Aug. 31) interview on CNBC, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said honoring a decision to replace 7th US President Andrew Jackson with an image of Tubman was not one if his primary concerns. He even dismissed the idea again after the interviewer noted the “cultural aspects” of putting a black woman’s face on US currency.

“Ultimately, we’ll be looking at this issue. It’s not something that I’m focused on at the moment…

“People have been on the bills for a long period of time. This is something we’ll consider. Right now we have a lot more important issues to focus on.”

Mnuchin defended side-skipping the question by explaining his main concern in preventing counterfeiting and changes to currency could pose security concern.

The former Treasury secretary (under President Barack Obama) announced the decision to put Tubman on the $20 bill in April 2016. Jackson’s image would be moved to the back of the bill. Then-candidate Donald Trump called the decision “pure political correctness.”

Mnuchin’s comments got a collective side-eye from Twitter and caused Harriet Tubman to become the No. 2 trending topic (only behind the reported ending of DACA, another racially motivated move by 45).

Designs for Tubman’s $20 bill and a $10 bill honoring the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment—which gave women the right to vote—were to be revealed by 2020. A spokesperson for the Treasury Department did not elaborate on Mnuchin’s comments, but did note no new bills are scheduled to go into circulation until 2026.

Police Conduct Welfare Check at R. Kelly’s Home to Speak With Joycelyn Savage

The Savages are not playing with R. Kelly. Tim Savage and other members of his family rolled up to the singer’s mansion with multiple police units in an effort to see his daughter Joycelyn.

Joycelyn is one of several young women living with R. Kelly, however, her family is convinced the singer is holding he against her will. On Tuesday (Aug. 29) Joycelyn’s father, sister, and other members of the Savage family went to Kelly’s Atlanta mansion as police conducted a welfare check at their request.

According to TMZ, a woman in Kelly’s camp answered the door, but told cops Joycelyn was not currently on the property. However, police were able to communicate with the 22-year-old via FaceTime who, again, claimed she was fine. She also refused to speak with her family.

The welfare check was requested after Tim says Kelly refused to let the family speak with Joycelyn at a recent concert of his.

The Savages weren’t allowed to be near Kelly’s front door, but Tim recorded a video during the check.

“We in front of R. Kelly house. We trying to check on our daughter, Joycelyn Savage. We gon’ do what we have to do… Just want to make sure she’s fine…

“He a man. He need to come out and let my daughter out. I told him, if he ain’t come to me, I was gon’ come to him.”

The father’s desperate attempt to see his daughter comes days after another woman came forward to share her disturbing experience with R. Kelly. Jerhonda Pace says she entered a sexual relationship with the singer when she was just 16 and ended it after he became controlling and abusive.

Kenya Moore Fights Back Against Rumors Her Surprise Marriage is Fake: “Enough Is Enough!”

Kenya Moore is sick and tired of you trying to shade her marriage. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is done with the jokes and says she’s now coming for anybody who claims she faked her surprise wedding for a storyline.

Kenya took to Instagram on Wednesday (Aug. 30) to fight back against the countless rumors regarding her marriage to businessman Marc Daly. She says these rumors are “boldface lies” and she’s ready to take legal action against anybody who attempts to make a mockery of her marriage. “#Don’tF*ckWithMyFamily,” she warns her haters.

“It never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to discredit you, spread propaganda, boldface lies and publish entire articles based on an “anonymous” or unknown source.

My marriage and my life will not be made a mockery of. I ignored this empty rhetoric in the past…No more. Enough is enough. I’m fighting back.

Be warned, I’m coming for you and we all know how this will end for you. I always have the last laugh. #lawsuit #receipts #reallove #DontF*ckWithMyFamily”

Instagram Photo

Kenya shocked everybody—including Bravo and her RHOA co-stars—when she secretly married Daly in June. The nuptials took place during a private ceremony in St. Lucia and there were no reality show cameras to capture the moment. Kenya confirmed she was married a week after the couple exchanged vows.

Questions surrounding the quickie wedding are to be expected though, because we all know how desperate Kenya was for a man/husband and her past RHOA flames (Matt Jordan & Walter Jackson) seemed to have been on Kenya’s payroll for storyline purposes and job security. And, and on top of that, no one even knew she was dating Daly, let alone serious enough to walk down the aisle with him!

Returning housewife Kim Zolciak also called Kenya out about her marriage, which reportedly lead to an epic showdown between the two. Maybe she’s the one Kenya is coming for in her IG post?

Season 10 of Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres in November, but Kenya’s marriage may not even be seen on the show. Daly reportedly doesn’t want to appear on the reality series because he doesn’t like the drama or how it portrays black men.

Katy Perry’s Horrible Hosting Causes Lowest Watched VMAs in History, ABC Reportedly Regretting Hiring Her as “American Idol” Judge

The ratings are in and it’s not looking too good for Katy Perry. The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards were the least watched of all-time.

According to Nielsen, only 5.68 million people tuned in to celebrate music’s hottest young stars on Sunday (Aug. 27), making it the lowest-rated VMAs EVER—or, at least since Nielsen began tracking the show’s ratings in 1994. Viewership was down from the 6.5 million it pulled last year and a far cry from its rating high of 11.9 million in 2002.

The awards show had stiff competition though, as it went up against the season finale of Game of Thrones, which hit a series high with 12.07 million viewers. However, the VMAs did beat the HBO fantasy drama in its key teenager demographic.

The VMA ratings have been on a steady decline for years. However, this could be attributed to more people choosing to watch the annual MTV show online. There were reportedly 45.8 million streams on the live Facebook feed last year and 62.8 million streams total when other platforms are added.

Unfortunately, the bad news just gets worse for VMA host Katy Perry though. Critics and viewers panned her cringe-worthy attempt at emceeing the show. She was so bad that American Idol producers are now reportedly worried about her sitting at the judge’s table, especially since they shoved out half of their talent budget to secure the pop star.

A source tells Radar Online:

“They are paying her $25 million and she was a total dud [on the VMAs]. No one ever auditioned her for the new Idol job and they are freaking out that they hired someone who is terrible on live television.”

The source also added the ABC reboot showrunners want Perry to be less self-absorbed in order to keep the focus on the contestants.

“It’s not like they’re asking her to change her hairstyle or revise her style team, but they are asking her not to upstage the contestants the way some past judges, especially Mariah Carey, had the tendency to do.”

ABC has yet to hire any other judges for the American Idol reboot. To be honest, Katy Perry was a bad pick from the start and now her horrible VMA hosting only reaffirmed it.

Are Cardi B & Offset Really Engaged? “Bodak Yellow” Rapper Sets the Record Straight on the Growing Internet Rumor

With her single virtually the song of the summer and blowing up the charts, Cardi B is crossing a lot of dreams of her list. But is walking down the aisle next?

Word on the street is that Cardi is newly engaged to boyfriend and Migos member Offset. She was of course forced to face the rumor during interviews at the 2017 VMAs. The rapper cleverly broke out in song when Charlamagne Tha God asked her to set the record straight.

“Does you see a ring on my ring finger? Boy, is you gon’ marry me? Marry me.

“I’m a woman. Every woman, I think, wants to get married and wants to have children. It’s never too early to get married now. You know, if you want to propose to me, you can.”

Though she and Offset are not currently engaged, she’s clearly not opposed to the idea, but admits there’s no pressure on Offset. “I don’t gotta put the pressure, you what I’m saying. I put it down. Ain’t no pressure, baby,” she said.

Walking the carpet in a floor-length white gown, Cardi also confirmed to Us Weekly that she’s not engaged. “Looking like I’m getting married,” she noted of her outfit, “but I’m not there.”

Rumors of the couple possibly being engaged were sparked last week after Offset flaunted a large white and yellow diamond ring on Snapchat.

Media Take Out then “confirmed” Offset proposed in private and the couple were waiting for the right time to make a “joint announcement.”

The rap couple has only been together for a few months. But as for right now, it doesn’t seem like they are tying the knot anytime soon.

Brittney Jones: Judge Denies Request to Drop Charges Against Woman Who Performed Sex Acts in Florida Courthouse

Though she tried to fight it, Brittney Jones will continue to face charges for performing sex acts in a public court house. A Florida judge has denied a request to drop the charges.

Jones’ lawyer argued the law used to charge their client is “unconstitutionally vague” because it does not explicitly define what “unnatural sex” is and leaves it open to interpretation for citizens.

However, the judge wasn’t buying it and denied her lawyer’s request on August 16. Jones was not present in court.

Jones caught the internet’s attention back in February after she posted several videos performing sex acts, including oral, on a man on the fourth-floor hallway of the Duval County Courthouse in Jacksonville, FL. Claiming her “skills” got her out of unrelated legal charges, she then bragged about her antics on social media as the videos went viral.

The 26-year-old was arrested in February and charged with unnatural and lascivious acts. Jeremiah Robinson, the man in the video and Jones’ alleged “baby daddy” also faces the same charge.

Brittney Jones’ next court hearing is scheduled for September 12.
