Nicki Minaj Slays Performance At iHeart Radio Summer Pool Party

Nicki Minaj did not hold anything back at the iHeart radio summer pool party this weekend.
The singer showed up in a pink and green bootylicious, Moschino seperates that had everyone’s jaw dropping. The outfit may have caught some side-eyes for some people who were not here for it but as always, it did showcase the singer’s great assets all-around.
She did post quite a few pictures of the attire on Instagram, and captioned one with, “It’s like a thousand degrees in Vegas tonight.” We’re guessing that Vegas indeed might be hot Nicki, but that outfit might not have had the most cooling effect.
Attire and apparel aside, Nicki’s performance was apparently one of the greatest things since sliced bread and had social media buzzing, with fans saying it was definitely one of the best performances of the night. Other performers included Kelly Clarkson, Nick Jonas, and David Guetta, the latter of which performed with Nicki on stage as well.
Did you peep the pool party? What was your favorite part? And what do you think of the outfit? Fab or fug?
Below is a video of the star’s amazing performance:

Kendall Jenner & Kylie Jenner Talk Fear of Growing Older: "Life is Scary"

Kendall Jenner and sister Kylie Jenner seem fearless on social media, where they often showcase daring looks to their millions of followers, but there is one thing that definitely seems to scare them: Aging.
The 19-year-old and the 17-year-old stars of Keeping Up with the Kardashians talked about growing older in an interview with the U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times' Style magazine, which features them on the May 31, 2015 cover.
"I'm scared of the day I turn 19," Kylie was quoted as saying. "I really don't want to grow past 18."
According to the newspaper, she then looked at Kendall and said, "You'll be 20 this year — that's crazy. And any second you'll be, like, 21, 22, 23..."
"It's scary," Kendall replied, nodding. "Life is scary."

Surgeon Demands Kanye West Clear His Name In Donda West’s Death

The doctor who operated on Kanye West’s late mother Donda before she died from surgery complications wants the rapper to bring him vindication.
Dr. Donda West died in 2007 after complications from a liposuction, a tummy-tuck, and breast-reduction surgery. Her death prompted investigations into her operating surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams, and her nephew and post-operation caregiver, Dr. Stephan Scroggins. Both men have been cleared, but in a recent interview with The New York Daily News, Adams said he still unfairly carries the blame.
“Most people that I run into think she died on the table, they don’t even know this lady was home for a day,” Adams said. “The truth hasn’t been revealed… It didn’t need to happen, that’s why it’s sad. She should still be alive.”
According to The Daily News, Adams believed Dr. West ingested as many as 20 Vicodin pills, aspirated food content into her lungs, and subsequently died. A coroner report lists West’s cause of death as“pre-existing coronary artery disease” and “multiple post-operative factors following surgery” including constriction from her bandaging and the use of pain medication.
Both Adams and Scroggins were cleared of any wrongdoing, but Adams says he wants West to speak out and help restore his reputation.
“I think the truth needs to be out there,” Adams added. “If he had any b***s or if he was any kind of man he could. But the real answer is he probably won’t.”

Dear Lovers: Paris' Famous Love Locks Bridge Is Getting Torn Down

Guess it's true what they say—nothing lasts forever (even if you try to secure it with a padlock).
The famous love locks bridge in Paris, Pont des Arts, where couples go to secure a padlock with their names on it onto the bridge before throwing the key into the Seine river as a sign of their love, has been an attraction for lovers around the world for years.
But it looks like this romantic act has come to an end.
The city council has announced that they are tearing down the famous bridge on Monday. Sacre bleu, indeed.

It's estimated that close to a million padlocks, weighing roughly 45 tons, are expected to be cut off because the bridge has become a safety hazard after part of it collapsed into the river last year due to its heavy weight.
The city council said this week that the several hundred thousand padlocks in places around Paris cause "long-term heritage degradation and a risk for visitors' security." The metal grills on the bridge's sides will be replaced by paintings over the summer, before plexi-glass panels are put in place later this year.
"We want Paris to remain the capital of love and romance," Bruno Julliard, Paris' deputy mayor, said, adding that there would be new initiatives encouraging people to express their love in other ways.
The city had already taken steps to slowly encourage tourists to find other ways to proclaim love, including a Twitter campaign, #lovewithoutlinks, where couples could post selfies of themselves on the bridge to promote their romance, but not a lot of people were a fan.

Kanye West Surprises Students at College Fashion Show, Shares Advice

Kanye West is going back to school, Yeezus style.
The "All Day" rapper made a surprise appearance at Los Angeles Trade Technical College Friday night to the delight of many students.

Sitting in the front row with a smile on his face, West payed careful attention to the wide variety of sportswear, children's clothing, bathing suits and evening wear that crossed the runway and were made strictly from students.

As the stigma against mental illness shrinks and the public conversations about how to talk about mental health becomes more important, studies continue to reveal shocking new details about the crisis going on in America. A report came out earlier this week that claimed women in all age groups across the United States are more likely to suffer from serious mental health problems than their male counterparts. The study, conducted by the Center for Disease Control or CDC, showed more severity than expected across all fronts.

Some key findings included:

Ellie Goulding Adds Some Fire to Summer With Her Impressive Bikini Body

 
 Ellie Goulding's got the fire, fire, fire!
Memorial Day has come and gone meaning it's totally time to break out the bikinis. Luckily, the "Love Me Like You Do" singer totally got the memo when she kicked off this weekend in the sun.
While sunbathing on a high-rise roof, Goulding couldn't help but show off her impressive figure on Instagram. Without any words as her caption, the singer clearly let her photo do all the talking while wearing a pink two-piece bikini.
So how did she get such a great body just in time for summer? As you can expect, it took some serious hard work.
In between traveling around the world to perform at festivals, Goulding has been working on her fitness (and tan) in sunny Southern California. "Sun deprived Brits doing runyan be like," she captioned on Instagram Saturday while hiking near the popular Hollywood canyon.

Wow, wow and more wow!
Jaime King hasn't been one to shy away from showing off her body while pregnant. Whether posing topless on Instagram or opting for sheer looks at events, the Hart of Dixie star has proudly displayed her baby bump in and around Hollywood.
But when the actress took to social media Saturday afternoon to show off her latest look, i couldn't help but fall in love once again.
"I'm waiting for you baby…," she wrote on Twitter with a link to the stunning picture. "(PS I don't suggest wearing heels pregnant, only for a few seconds of fun)." But you look so good, girl!

Fashion aside, King also wanted to share how grateful she was to be so close to delivering another healthy baby. While on Instagram, the 36-year-old thanked the professionals for their support and guidance in recent months.
"Thank you to my beautiful husband for the gift of life and loving. To my beloved doctor Randy Harris for being by my side every moment no matter what & making my dream a reality despite my struggle with endo," she shared. "Dr. Silverman, Cohen and Phillips, to every nurse & staff member who takes care of me a Cedar's consistently and to James Knight for reminding me that miracles do come true."
King previously opened up about her personal experiences with several miscarriages and fertility treatments. She recently called her first child "a miracle."
Her second baby, who's godmother will be none other than Taylor Swift, is due later this summer.

Bruce Jenner Is Your Next Vanity Fair Cover Woman (Yes, You Read That Right)

Can a week go by without talking about the Kardashians and Jenners? No, apparently not. In the latest news, newly-transitioning Bruce Jenner is set to pose for Vanity Fair according to multiple sources who have revealed this information to People.com. Since his interview with Diane Sawyer on 20/20, revealing his story about how he is going through this period with his family and friends, many people have been wondering when next they will hear from this Jenner. Jenner has received widespread support from people close to him, as well as from many members of the trans community who deem that his transitioning will open doors and more public conversation about the trans experience, a community that has been historically ignored even in marginalized communities across the country

The Vanity Fair shoot will apparently be done by the one and only Annie Leibovitz whose work has been acclaimed for several decades now. And along with the shoot, there will be another interview done, most likely on Jenner’s reflections post-transitioning. Perhaps he’ll address all the burning questions people have about the experience as well as the diversity of reactions he might have really had. But for now, all we apparently know is the Bruce Jenner is ready for his close up.

Prayer’s Up! Devon Still’s Daughter Suffers Complications In Cancer Treatment

I need some prayers sent up for Leah tonight! We hit a pretty serious complication from the stem cell transplant called VOD. They caught it early so hopefully it gives the doctors a better chance of stopping it from getting aggressive. As you can imagine our minds are all over the place but we're going to try and remain positive! #LeahStrong #WaitingForTheDayEverythingReturnsToNormal

A photo posted by Devon Still (@man_of_still75) on May 29, 2015 at 4:39pm PDT

Leah Still, daughter of Devon Still has suffered from complications in her stem cell treatment. Devon took to Instagram yesterday to ask that you pray for his daughter, as he “waits for everything to return to normal.” The Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle has been very forthcoming about his daughter’s illness since the little girl was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer called neuroblastoma in 2014. Neuroblastoma is said to develop from premature nerve cells and is usually most common in young children. Still has been documenting his daughter’s treatments since her fight against cancer began. During the 2014 football season last year, the Bengals even fundraised over $1 million to honor Leah’s fight. The little girl was in remission since March and was said to be doing well so this comes as very saddening news for the Stills family and sports fans everywhere who have been following the updates, rooting for Leah to come through. The good news, however, is that the doctors have caught the complications early so hopefully, this is just a speed bump on the way to a full recovery, and the journey can come to a happy end. Either way, keep Leah in your thoughts and prayers today.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Lost 40 Pounds for Texas Rising Role by Living on One Can of Tuna a Day

Will Denny Duquette ever be healthy?!
Jeffrey Dean Morgan AKA beloved Duquette of Grey's Anatomy fame broke our hearts by unexpectedly dying of a blood clot on the medical show, but now the actor has put himself in real-life danger by losing 40 pounds for a new role on Texas Rising in the unhealthiest way possible.
Instead of dieting and exercising in addition to consulting a doctor, Morgan lived solely on one can of tuna per day to lose the weight. Producers recommended that Morgan lose 10 pounds to play the character, who is sick on the show, but he took it too far.
"He had a consumption of tuberculosis," Morgan explained on Today last week. "And so I got there and I was probably about 175. I left and I was about 130."

A Hooters Waitress Donates Her Kidney to a Customer, Instantly Restores Faith in Humanity

A Hooters waitress at the Roswell, Ga., location by the name of Mariana Villarreal began making headlines after her extremely selfless deed hit the Internet—the young server donated one of her kidneys to longtime customer Don Thomas, who had lost both of his kidneys.
"Mariana had only been here a short time," Thomas explained to the local NBC News affiliate. "I just barely knew her when she made the offer."
"I said, 'Well I have two kidneys, do you want one of mine?'" Villarreal said. It was an offer he couldn't refuse. Thomas added, "My reply was, 'I will accept it.'"

Tamar Braxton Has Some Lofty Goals For Her Fashion Line

Source: Jesse Grant / Getty

Tamar Braxton would love for her fashion to become a household name among the a-list.
Givenchy. Kenzo. Balmain. Jacobs. Tamar wouldn’t mind joining that list of celebrities’ favorite fashion designers.
The “Let Me Know” singer has spun her personal style into a fashion line. We love the looks she’s offering up, but she told The Huffington Post that there are a few select fashionistas she’d want to rock her threads.
“First of all, I love Victoria Beckham. That would be amazing,” said Tamar. “J.Lo is one of my fashion icons too. Maybe [Beyoncé]. Rihanna. Everyone I look up to, fashion-wise.”
Should any of those ladies decide to take this as an invite to wear her clothes, they’ll have plenty to choose from. The Tamar Collection, which debuted last year, is packed with bodycon dresses and fitted blazers. She’s also designed some jumpsuits and sexy stilettos.
Tamar can’t just rely on three people to keep her brand afloat, though. Thankfully, it all comes at a semi-affordable since nothing in her collection costs more than $160. That’s chump change for Bey, but doable for your budget. That’s exactly how Tamar wants it.
“I don’t always want to spend the coins on designer clothes. Thank God most of the time I’m able to afford the things that I want. But the people that watch us on TV and listen to my music, they can’t always afford that, and I want them to feel fabulous as well,” Tamar reasoned. “That’s why I work so hard to make sure that we have quality clothing at an affordable price.”

Put Down That Thong, Girl: Granny Panties Are (Apparently) Coming Back in Style

Are young women everywhere saying no to constant wedgies?
For years, ladies have succumbed to butt floss because thongs were all the rage in the underwear world, and saved the granny panties for laundry day. But it looks like times are changing.
The New York Times reports that there's been a shift in undie trends with younger women recently, claiming that females nowadays are preferring more coverage when it comes to their underwear.
"Within millennial and Generation Y consumer groups, it's considered cool to be wearing full-bottom underwear," Bernadette Kissane, an apparel analyst at the market intelligence firm Euromonitor, said to NYT. "Thongs have had their moment."
Don't take her word for it? There are numbers to prove her theory.
Data provided by the research company NPD Group show that sales of thongs decreased 7 percent over the last year, while sales of fuller styles—such as briefs, boy shorts and high-waist briefs—have grown a collective 17 percent.
"Most lingerie is designed to appeal to a man," Julia Baylis, who teamed up with her bestie to design the boutique clothing label Me and You, said. Their best seller is a pair of white cotton underpants with the word "feminist" printed in pink bubble letters across the booty.
"For us, that's not even a consideration. This is underwear you wear totally for you. Maybe no one will see it, or maybe you'll put it up on Instagram to share with everyone you know."
"I think there's a widespread misconception that men are into pearl thong, lace contraptions," Daphne Javitch of Ten Undies said. "To be honest, men are into girls in T-shirts and white underwear."
Even celebs have been spotted wearing fuller bottoms on the red carpet. Granted, it's usually under sheer dresses, but still.
Are you up for granny panties making a comeback?

Video: Jamie Foxx feat. Chris Brown – ‘You Changed Me’

Is Jamie Foxx ready to shed his player ways? The Oscar winner thinks he’s found the love of his life in the video for “You Changed Me” featuring Chris Brown.
The X-directed clip starts off with a conversation between the fellas about finding the right lady and settling down. Jamie throws a party at his mansion (“Strippers or no strippers?” he asks Breezy) and his love interest (played by Grace Gealy of “Empire”) shows up. He serenades her and even gets his dance on. Breezy also has his eye on a pretty young thing and the two make love in the hallway before taking it to the bedroom.
“You Changed Me” can be found on Foxx’s album Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses, which debuted at No. 10 with 36,000.

R. Kelly Announces New Album ‘The Buffet’

Miley Cyrus Shows Off Her Shaggy Armpits on Instagram

Oh boy, Miley Cyrus is not afraid to let loose.
She's got a bold new selfie on Instagram flaunting her skimpy pink bikini, her tats and her hairy pits.
The hair is long and noticeable, prompting many of her followers to write the same pithy comment, "Armpits."
This isn't the first time we've been exposed to Miley's unkempt underarms. One time she even dyed them pink! And when inducting her idol Joan Jett into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, she made sure everyone could catch sight of her unshaved punk rock girl armpits.
She posted the caption, "Today hazzzzz be consistently chill AF #evengotsomecleanindone #f--kyeah"
The former Disney Channel star is living it up and doing it how she wants to. Good for her! Who says women need to shave their armpits? Sike...loll

Amber Rose and Blac Chyna Ride Through the LA Streets on Bikes Because They're Badass Like That

 
They see them rollin', they hatin'...
Amber Rose and bestie Blac Chyna proved that there's nothing basic about them when they were spotted rolling through the streets of Los Angeles on some Can-Am Spyders. Contrary to common belief, the two curvy celebs didn't ride around in a bikini and flaunt their enviable bods (because let's be real, that wouldn't have been very surprising), and actually covered up quite a bit for the outing.
It would be almost impossible to identify that the two ladies on these bikes are Rose and Chyna, but luckily, Tyga's ex took to Instagram to share pictures of their day together. "Me and Bae @amberrose," she wrote. Chyna also shared a few solo pics of herself on the bike, flaunting a bit of cleavage in one while also illustrating safety first by wearing her helmet in every pic.
Their LA ride is definitely a more tame (and less expensive) get-together for these two, considering some of their other outings.
Back in March, the two famous moms were spotted having a girl's night out at the Ace of Diamonds club in Los Angeles.
The gal-pals held an official party at the venue, and were seen showering the dancers with bills all throughout the night. In fact, some reports claim that these two ended up throwing down $10,000! Yeah, and here you are contemplating about getting that guac at Chipotle.
Chyna posted several shots from the eventful night out on Instagram at the time, including one of her hugging Amber that said, "Friendship goals…#howtobeabadbitch #milf."
She also shared a black-and-white video showing the ladies dancing in the middle of a jam-packed club, pouring champagne on strippers and making it rain—or what they call, Monday.

Is This Her Raciest Pic Yet?!

 
Neave Bozorgi
Underboob alert!
Kylie Jenner has been teasing fans with pics from a recent photo shoot, and they are racy. Even though we thought it couldn't get more risqué than the pics, shot by Neave Bozorgi, in which she flashed her boobs and cleavage while lounging pool side, it seems they can!
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Instagrammed a new pic from the shoot, but this time she's grabbing her boobs. Looking directly into the camera, Kylie poses while staring seductively. She holds onto her [fake?] fur overcoat, letting only a tiny bit of underboob peek through her barely there brown top.
She didn't caption the scandalous pic.
With her black hair extensions in place and perfectly contoured makeup, we can't help but notice how much she's starting to look like Kim Kardashian. The 17-year-old is definitely taking her looks to the next level for this shoot, and we can't wait to see what else she and Neave have come up with together.
Neave previewed a few other shots on his Instagram. The pics show Kylie wearing a black sports bra and jeans while lying by the pool. This isn't the first time the E! star has worked with Neave. In March, the duo traveled to the Hollywood Hills where Kylie worked a cage-style monokini while on the balcony of a luxurious home.
Tyga's rumored girlfriend is certainly brave when it comes to her daring looks, as she flaunts them on the regular for photo shoots or while hanging out with friends! What do you think of Kylie's latest look?

Why Working Abroad May Be The Best Thing You Could Do For Your Career & Life

Source: Tom Merton / Getty

I recently returned from a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where my travel buddies and I were welcomed by a family from Michigan that happened to grow up with one of the ladies I was traveling with. I asked her if her decision to uproot her family of five, inclusive of husband and kids, and move to Dubai was difficult.
She responded that it was actually one of the best decisions she had made. Her children were well adjusted to their lives there, as they moved to Dubai before it became the “DUBAI” that we see on social media and in advertisements for travel. She stated that they feel safer there than they did in Michigan, often times leaving their house doors unlocked. She also stated that, based upon the agreement she negotiated with the university she is working for, she is able to save a ridiculous amount of money to help pay off her home back in the states.

Her Outfit Costs What?! Sienna Miller’s $2,095 Airport Style

The queen of boho has tucked away her maxi skirts and kaftans – at least for her most recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival. Headed home after the fête, Sienna Miller breezed through the Nice airport looking chic in a simple black and white ensemble. But if you want to steal Sienna's airport style, it'll cost you. Just how much? Let's review.
While most would throw on sweats to hop on a plane, that's not exactly Ms. Miller's style. The 33-year-old was the epitome of class with bright red lips and a sheer sleeveless blouse. Keeping the bottoms simple, the actress opted for a pair of black Balenciagas. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill black pants—they ring in at a hefty $535.

Oops! Did Taraji P. Henson Just Spill the Empire Season 2 Premiere Date?

Oh, Cookie!
Empire's breakout star Taraji P. Henson took after her onscreen alter ego today...by revealing the Empire season two premiere date early!
That's right, now we know when we're getting our new favorite TV obsession back in our lives this fall: Fox has officially slated the premiere to air Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9 p.m.
But before they could make the official announcement, Henson spilled the beans on Twitter! When a fan asked Henson when season two would kick off on Fox, she replied, "Hello! September 23 #Empire season ✌������."

And then the official Empire writers Twitter handle confirmed that date with some hashtags we can seriously get behind. "#Empire fans! @EmpireFOX Season 2 returns Wednesday, September 23, 2015! #MarkYourCalendars #GameTimeBitches."
After an incredible first season with record ratings (every single episode increased in viewership culminating in an 82% increase in from the premiere), we're already counting down the days until Sept. 23. Chris Rock, Lenny Kravitz, and Alicia Keys will all be making guest appearances in season two which has been increased from 12 to 18 episodes and will be split between fall and winter, unlike the first season which premiered in the winter.
Empire will air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox this fall.

5 Days, 5 Ways: How to Wear Gingham Without Looking Like a Tablecloth

In fashion, oftentimes there's a very fine line between being on-trend and looking like a ‘50s tablecloth. When it comes to one of this season's biggest trends—gingham—that line (of patterned squares) can be even harder to discern.
Luckily, the celebs have been about town in full gingham prints that are a fashion-forward step above the twee-looking rest. Here's how to wear the square pattern five different ways—without looking like a piece of Americana decor, a throwback housewife or you're sittin' comfy home on the range.

Oooops! U.S. Military Mistakenly Ships Live Anthrax To 9 U.S. States Via FedEx

Source: Getty

The government had to cop to a big-ole mea culpa yesterday when the Pentagon confirmed that that the U.S. military shipped live anthrax samples around the world via FedEx.
Samples of the toxic bacteria went to private research laboratories in nine states and one in South Korea. CNN reports that four lab workers in the U.S. and up to 22 overseas are now in post-exposure treatment to the deadly contaminant.
“The Department of Defense is collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in their investigation of the inadvertent transfer of samples containing live Bacillus anthracis, also known as anthrax, from a DoD lab in Dugway, Utah, to labs in nine states,” said Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman.
The cat came out the bag on Wednesday when a Maryland-based lab realized the error, spurring a review to see if any other live anthrax went out. That triggered a response from the Defense Department and other agencies, including the FBI, to trace the shipments to ensure that they were properly secured, reports ABC News.
The danger was that less rigorous protocol was observed in handling the antrax because the shipments were thought to be dead.
Science experts told the Defense Department there was no risk to the public from shipping in those containers, and a spokesperson for FedEx says that the company is working closely with the government to “gather information about these shipments.”

California Police Knock Pregnant Black Woman To The Ground, Belly First [VIDEO]

The American Civil Liberties Union has released an appalling video of California police confronting a pregnant Black woman.
Mandated body cameras captured officers in Barstow, California, slamming a woman named Charlena Michelle Cooks during a January incident where they were called to her daughter’s school.
Cooks, who was eight months pregnant at the time, was approached by police after speaking with a school staff member following a “petty” argument in the parking lot. The staffer said that Cooks had been acting “crazy,” but the officer in the video could be heard stating that he didn’t “see a crime that has been committed.”

Michael Jackson's former sprawling California estate, Neverland Ranch, is being listed at $100 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The 2,700-acre property, which is now known as Sycamore Valley Ranch, includes a 50-seat theater, two lakes and a train station, but the more over-the-top amenities, including a zoo and small amusement park, have been removed. Per the listing agents, the elephant and orangutans are gone, but a llama remains on the property.
The "Thriller" singer originally paid $19.5 million for it in 1988 and renamed the sprawling ranch Neverland in honor of Peter Pan's island home. Jackson later added his outrageous amenities. The "Billy Jean" crooner lived in the house for 15 years before financial issues plagued him. He defaulted on a $24.5 million loan, which forced him to seek out a real estate investment firm to enter into a joint venture.

Marsha Haygood had a humble beginning as a single mother from the projects. Eventually she moved up the corporate ladder to start her own successful consulting firm. She says she loves her job as an empowerment coach and that she is grateful for what she has. However, one of Haygood’s biggest struggles has been the realization that not all of her friends were rooting for her during her climb to the top.
“I was feeling guilty because I was working and climbing the corporate ladder. My friend on the other hand, didn’t have a good job. She resented it.” Haygood, now the founder and president of StepWise Associates, explained that her friend felt alienated by her corporate lifestyle and grew hostile in interactions with Haygood’s employees. Eventually, the two parted ways. Haygood said she stopped being remorseful for being more advanced in her career and accepted the situation for what it was.
