They. Are. Fam-i-ly.

Lamar Odom has not completely fallen out of favor with the Kardashian klan and evidence of such lies on his Instagram page.

Recently Lamar posted a picture of his New York Times best-selling memoir Darkness To Light to celebrate his literary achievement. He thanked the fans, friends, family, his publicist, the book publisher, and…Khloe Kardashian.

The warm regards didn’t fall on deaf ears (or thumbs as it were) Khloe Kardashian double-tapped the post and even left an uplifting comment for her former flame:

She wasn’t the only K to leave Lamar a good tidings, Kim Kardashian also double-tapped Lammy’s grateful ‘gram. When asked about a potential reconciliation with Khloe on Jenny McCarthy’s SiriusXM show, Lamar replied:

Awwwww, poor thang.

Knifed Up: Messy Mariah Carey Ex-Assistant Reveals Skinny Legend Has Booty Injections

Mariah Carey’s Ex-Assistant Puts Her Cosmetic Surgeries On Blast In Lawsuit

Mariah Carey supposedly went through several procedures to get slim-thick and charged it to an employee’s card — now the woman is putting her on blast.

MC is accused of using her ex-assistant Lianna Shakhnazaryan’s AMEX card to pay for and conceal at least 6 cosmetic surgeries, says Daily Mail. The receipts are signed by ” Stella Carey” and include a $10,000 in PLLA buttock filler injections, a $4,800 LipoFreeze fat-melting laser treatment to her upper breasts and an $8,900 firming ultrasound procedure to her neck and jawline. They were then mailed to Mariah’s home address.

Mariah is currently embroiled in a court battle with her former friend and employee over claims that Lianna Shakhnazaryan, 36, spent money on Carey’s personal credit card and secretly filmed her.

But employees and Shakhnazaryan tell a different story about Mariah’s spending habits. Allegedly she would use their cards and reimburse them later for hundreds of thousands in purchases.

‘Mariah never wanted people to know about her shopping or surgeries so she would put them on [former assistant] Lianna’s [Shakhnazaryan] card or [former manager] Stella’s [Bulochnikov] cards,’ an insider said.

‘She has an AMEX card of her own but her business management team only let her have one because of her spending – she always spent so much on it, it would get maxed out.’

‘All the staff, including her security guards and nannies, have to put stuff on their cards and get it reimbursed.

Mariah sued her former assistant earlier this year, alleging the woman tried to extort her with “intimate videos” for $8 Million. Shakhnazaryan filed a counter-suit in January alleging she endured battery and racial abuse from the singer.

Does it look like Mariah has had body work done to YOU?

Mariah has not yet responded to Shakhnazaryan’s claim. Previously, Carey was sued by her manager for wrongful termination.

Swirl Struggles: Black Wife Asks For Funds After Allegedly Terroristic Taupe In-Laws Drag Her Through Court, Husband Is Useless

There’s been a GoFundMe campaign circulating social media because of how absurd and exhausting the explanation behind it sounds. Vandreena Cotton-Meeks wants to raise $50,000 to help her fight her husband’s racist family in court. The woman says they’ve been placing bogus charges against her like ‘stalking’ and making ‘threats’ in order to ruin her life because she’s Black.

She’s even lost her job behind the madness and now she faces a year in prison. But PLEASE…read for yourselves how Adreena says her swirly marriage might be the end of her freedom (FYI, none of it mentions WTH her husband’s been doing to help her):

* Joel & I are an interracial couple. After 8 years of dating (and an extremely negative reaction from his parents, we got married in late 2016.

* Approximately 6 weeks into our marriage, Joel’s brother & his brother’s wife accused me of sending death threats (but had zero evidence or forensics). Their reasoning for blaming me was because we “don’t get along”.

* Between January 2017 – April 2017, my brother-in-law & his wife called my job, stalked me at work and complained about me to my manager (whom they didn’t know).

* A day shy of our 5 month wedding anniversary, my in-laws had me arrested for ‘sending terroristic threats’. During this, we learned that they did not have evidence and the police went through my phone without a warrant. My bond at the time: $50,000. I ended up missing a day of work, but was released after 21 hours.

* A month later, I was served and had to appear in DeKalb County court for the same charges, but as a TPO. The judge in that case ruled in my sister-in-law’s favor “to help her sleep at night” and my husband & I were barred from having direct & indirect contact with his family, extended family & their friends – or being within 100 yards of them – for one year.

* Just before the scheduled date of the trial (October 2017), I was fired from my day job. When I asked the manager why, he stated I was no longer a good fit “after speaking with your in-laws”. Yes, my in-laws complained to my manager enough to get me fired from my well-paying job (that I had a stellar review for one week prior).

* Since I am a caregiver for my mom – and I know how the justice system can behave towards people of color – I made the decision with my lawyer to forego the trial and take several months of anger management instead. This allowed me to avoid one year in prison if I would have lost the case.

* Around January 2018, my lawyer received notice that I was being charged with contempt in Fulton & DeKalb counties. If I were found guilty of contempt, I would be listed as a felon & would be required to serve one year in prison. The reason for the contempt allegation: my in-laws claimed I ‘liked’ an Instagram post of theirs. After going to a bench trial in Fulton, the judge found I was NOT in contempt and informed my in-laws they could not send me to jail because they didn’t like me (especially since they never presented evidence or forensics that I had done anything they alleged).

* In February 2018, we had the contempt hearing in DeKalb and the judge agreed with Fulton that there was no contempt. However, when we met back in his courtroom in May 2018, the judge reiterated the ‘help her sleep at night’ narrative and agreed to extended the aforementioned TPO through May 2021.

* In early November 2018 – after Joel & I captured a promo video for a state park – we saw his mother, father, brother, sister-in-law & his parents’ best friends at a restaurant in Helen, GA. Luckily, we saw them immediately after we arrived at the hostess stand and left to eat at another restaurant, which we have on video from the restaurant security camera, (but not before his brother chased after us with his phone to take pictures, told the staff not to serve us and asked an employee to follow us; he talked very loudly).

* In December 2018 – we started receiving harassment in 2 ways: police & process servers were coming to our house daily (and trying to tamper with our security cameras) and we were receiving fake, negative reviews on WeddingWire for our photography business (which is one of our only sources of income). Unfortunately, gigs aren’t guaranteed & a negative review could ruin our business. Luckily, WW removed the reviews, but we were also receiving harassing comments on our blog (which we moderate, so the public never saw them).

* In January 2019, the harassment continued – this time with a phone number registered to his mother’s best friend. The messages started with “don’t have a baby”, “we’ll ruin you & your livelihood” and statements along those lines, but they soon turned to us receiving pictures of a shot up bulls-eye and promises to “hang [me] from a tree” (i.e. lynching). We never engaged with these messages and they always came from his mother’s best friend (even though she did CC his family on a few messages as well, but her tone was 180 degrees on those).

* And that brings us to today when I received a letter for a felony indictment in the mail. From what I’ve read & been told, that means they went to a prosecutor, which had a grand jury hearing in order to file these felony charges against me. The charges: terroristic threats & stalking. The dates these allegedly took place: the same dates they sent us death threats.

After all that, Joel & I need your help. As I mentioned above, I have been out of steady work since 2017, so Joel is our sole breadwinner. Our current plan was to hire the same attorney we had for the Fulton case, but I know he charges at least $50,000 (the $35,000 is for the attorney fees & the additional $15,000 is for the digital forensics experts). If you know us, you know we don’t like asking for help and normally go through trials & tribulations on our own. But with the hearing taking place in 2 weeks, we need to raise those attorney fees ASAP. My family literally can’t survive if I go to prison (and that’s not an understatement).

We would appreciate any funds you could part with to help us, from the price of a cup of coffee to a tax return – no amount will be turned away. If the Lord blesses us with a large financial windfall, we will do our best to pay you back and know that we will be praying that blessings come to you as well. You can also feel free to share this fundraiser & keep us in your prayers; we honestly don’t know what else to do.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and let me know if you have any questions or want to see evidence of the statements above.

– Vandreena & Joel Cotton-Meeks

Michelle Washington Becomes The Third Black Transgender Woman Fatally Shot In The Past Week

Transgender Woman Michelle Washington Killed

This has to stop.

Michelle Washington, a black trans woman from Philadelphia, was shot and killed May 19 in Philadelphia. The news comes from The Human Rights Campaign and local news stations who say that Washington, also known as Michelle Simone, was the victim of a shooting in Philadelphia’s Franklinville neighborhood.

ABC 6 reports that just after 5 a.m. on Sunday, she was shot in the head, body, and buttocks and was transported to Temple University Hospital where she died.

Deja Lynn Alvarez, Philadelphia City Council at-large candidate, knew Michelle for over 20 years and spoke out about her death on Facebook.

“It’s very important that we stress that because we’re not seeing LGB people murdered every other day,” Alvarez later told The Philadelphia Gay News. “It’s time that we say this is happening to trans women, it’s happening to black trans women, it’s happening to trans women of color. …It’s time that we shift the focus to that.”

Simone’s shocking death comes just a day after Muhlaysia Booker was fatally shot in Dallas. Before that, another transwoman, Claire Legato, was murdered in Cleveland. Legato was shot in the head by a man during an argument over tax return checks.

This is all incredibly sad, we pray all of these womens’ families get justice.

What The Hell?! Court Documents Reveal Tyga And Tristan Thompson’s Baby Mama Jordan Craig Used To Be MARRIED

Tyga Jordan Craig Married

Tyga And Jordan Craig Used To Be Married

It looks like Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy and her Kylie Jenner’s ex-boyfriend have the same taste in exes.

In a weird twist, TMZ just discovered that Tyga and Tristan Thompson’s baby mama Jordan Craig were once a legally MARRIED couple. You’re probably thinking ‘WTFFFF’ and wondering ‘how did they even stumble upon this information???’ Welp, simple.

Earlier this week, Tyga was spotted liking more than a few of Jordan’s Instagram photos. This had folks wondering if he was trying to flirt and grabbed her attention. Hours after fans notice Tyga liking the photos, Tristan seemed to react on his own page, with a photo of his son with Jordy, calling him “Mi Bwoy sweet.”  The photo has since been deleted. Was this a jab at Tyga?

Maybe Tristan just knew what we didn’t realize; Tyga, Jordy’s ex-husband, was flirting and Tristan got jealous.

Well, now we know Tyga and Jordan Craig do have a history together. Docs say T-Rawww and Jordy got hitched on September 06, 2010 and they filed divorce docs exactly one month later. There are several low-quality photos of them together floating around google to confirm this information too.

Are YOU shocked by any of this?

Mother Slits Kids Throats In Street Then Surrenders At Police Station

A mom is accused of slitting the throats of her two young children with a razor and leaving them bleeding on a Bronx street corner according to NY Daily News reports.

Shanice Martin allegedly slashed the necks of her two children — a 2-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy —  around 8:20 p.m. Saturday on a street corner cops said. Panicked pedestrians saw the wounded children and flagged down a passing police cruiser, which rushed them to Lincoln Hospital. The children’s throats were cut “from ear to ear” police sources said.

Her kids are expected to survive.

Covered in blood, Martin, 24, showed up a few minutes after the attack two blocks away at the 42nd Precinct stationhouse, where she handed them the razor she used and surrendered.

“Go ahead and arrest me,” the woman said as she handed the blood-soaked blade over, sources said.

Cops charged her with assault, child abandoment, endangering the welfare of a child, and weapon possession. She is undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.

Shanice Martin’s brother Travone Lango said his sister was estranged from the family and may have just “snapped.”

“She used to take medicine in the past. She never used to act like that. She was probably under a lot of pressure.”

Lango’s mother is taking care of Martin’s two wounded children, her brother said.

“I feel bad for them,” he said of his nephew and niece. “I hope they’re OK.”

Alex Harris Brings Unique Brand Of R&B

Texas bred singer/songwriter Alex Harris released his 5-track debut EP ‘Pink Cloud’ on RED Music back in February, but we’re only recently catching on, thanks in part to the recent video release of his song “Blue.” Check out the video below:

[embedded content]

Harris penned and co-executive produced his EP ‘Pink Cloud’ alongside Nathaniel “Nature” Jones and executive producer Damian Clarke. The project, which fuses classic and contemporary pop, hip-hop, alternative, and R&B melodies, details Harris’s personal journey as an artist coming into his own and ready to make his introduction to the world. Pink Cloud is available on all digital streaming platforms now HERE.

On his debut EP, Harris shares, “The process of creating Pink Cloud allowed me to explore my own vulnerabilities as an artist, and a person. This project reflects the realities of my life—the good, bad, and ugly. I used experiences from my own life and those close to me to create an EP in which I believe everyone can connect and relate. I’m just happy to have made it through those times and to have the opportunity to share my music with the world.”

“I want to bring honesty through my music,” Harris confesses while discussing what he wants listeners to take away from his music. “It’s okay to be vulnerable and express how you feel. There’s so much pressure to look cool, be cool, and control your life through social media to give the perception that everything’s good. If I can give people my true interpretation of the good, bad, and ugly in my life, maybe it can encourage others to embrace those things in their life. You can better yourself.”

That’s a beautiful philosophy right?

Punk Who Posed As Babysitter To Lure, Rape And Pimp 13-Year-Old Sentenced To 12 Years In Prison

Man Gets 12 Years In Prison For Pimping Sixth Grader

A Brooklyn criminal who posed as a mother looking for a babysitter to lure his victim was sentenced Friday to 12 years in prison.

Anthony Charles, 24, and co-defendant William McNeil, who previously pleaded guilty, trafficked the teen girl over the course of 11 months beginning in June 2015, authorities said. According to The NY Post, Charles lured a Manhattan sixth-grader with the promise of a babysitting gig on facebook then sexually assaulting her and forced her into prostitution. When the girl arrived at McNeil’s Brooklyn apartment for the position, the defendants threatened her at gunpoint, sexually assaulted her, then pimped her out.

The two grown men forced the teen to perform sex acts in cars and hotels, using flattery and violence to keep her in line. She was raped four to seven times a day, and when her family and friends found out, they ostracized her.

The victim choked up as she read an emotional statement in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday.

“They took away my virginity, my dignity, my freedom, my happiness and most importantly, my childhood,” she read from a piece of paper she clutched in her hands. “I never understood how people can hear you cry for help and not do anything.”

“What happen to me broke me forever,” she said, her voice cracking. “I felt disgusting. I felt dirty all the time. It was all types of men even doctors and teachers.”

The victim says she grew so depressed that she considered suicide.

Charles, who was convicted at trial of sex-trafficking and promoting prostitution, mumbled a half-hearted apology before Justice Gilbert Hong handed down his sentence. The judge said Charles faced a maximum of more than 50 years.

McNeil, 24, pleaded guilty to one count of sex-trafficking as part of a plea deal and was sentenced to five years in prison.

“The horrific violence and coercion committed against this 13-year-old child was not enough to break her spirit,” said Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. in a statement.

“She took the stand to testify in an act of extreme courage, bravely articulating the months of torture she endured at the hands of these heartless traffickers. The story of this profoundly courageous survivor shows us that in the safest big city in America, child sex trafficking still persists,” Vance said.

Good riddance!
