Letting it Burn: Usher Faces Second STD Lawsuit
 |
| Instagram: @Usher |
After the entire world found out R&B singer, Usher Raymond, paid a woman $1.1M for allegedly infecting her knowingly with herpes, another woman has stepped forward.
Usher is now facing a $10M lawsuit from a different woman who says he infected her too.
According to TMZ:
Usher had sex with a woman earlier this year who had no idea he was exposing her to Herpes ... according to a new lawsuit she's filed for millions of dollars.
Usher had sex with a woman earlier this year who had no idea he was exposing her to Herpes ... according to a new lawsuit she's filed for millions of dollars.
According to the suit, filed by a Jane Doe, she and Usher hooked up in Atlanta on April 16 at her home. She says there was some heavy petting, some kissing, and she performed oral sex on him. They eventually had intercourse, and she says he wore a condom.
However, in the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says they had sex again 12 days later -- this time in a New Orleans hotel room -- and they did not use a condom.
Cut to this month ... when Jane Doe says she read news reports about Usher admitting in docs, connected to an earlier legal case, that he has Herpes Simplex 2.
In this new suit, the woman does not say she's infected. She is concerned because she was "exposed" and says she wouldn't have had sex with Usher if he'd disclosed he has the virus.
She's suing "U.R. IV" -- Usher Raymond IV -- for negligence, battery and emotional distress ... and is seeking at least $10 million in damages.
We've reached out Usher's reps, but haven't heard back yet.
Gross.
Are we at all surprise Usher's got STDs. This dude has been running through the ladies since 1997.
Here's hoping these ladies get the medical attention they need and for Usher to keep to himself and his wife.

On July 20th, 2017, music fans were shocked to hear the news that Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington, had died.
Bennington was found dead near his home in L.A., he was 41 years old. The Los Angeles coroner says they are investigating Bennington's death as an apparent suicide but no additional details are available.
Interestingly enough, Bennington died on the birthday of friend and fellow rocker, Chris Cornell. Cornell took his own life in May of this year.
Since Chester's death, fans, bandmembers and musicians have been mourning the rockstar. He was a sound of an entire generation. Bridging the gap between rap and hip-hop and other genres.
Today, Linkin Park posted a letter on their website honoring Chester:https://t.co/CkwWKW25et pic.twitter.com/364B8vHRmf

Dear Chester,
Our hearts are broken. The shockwaves of grief
and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what
has happened.
You touched so many lives, maybe even more than
you realized. In the past few days, we’ve seen an outpouring of love and
support, both public and private, from around the world. Talinda and the family
appreciate it, and want the world to know that you were the best husband, son,
and father; the family will never be whole without you.
Talking with you about the years ahead
together, your excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can
never be filled—a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice
in the room is missing. We’re trying to remind ourselves that the demons who
took you away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way
you sang about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the
first place. You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us
together and taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed
to wear it on your sleeve.
Our love for making and performing music is
inextinguishable. While we don’t know what path our future may take, we know
that each of our lives was made better by you. Thank you for that gift. We love
you, and miss you so much.
Until we see you again,
LP
Bennington, who sported piercings and tattoos, struggled with drug and alcohol addictions at various times during his life. He leaves behind a wife and six children.

Mindy Kaling Pregnant with First Child
 |
| bostonmagazine |
Congratulations are in order for Mindy Kaling!
The actress, comedian and author is reportedly expecting her first child. There's no word on who the father is- my guess is ex- BJ Novak but we'll find out eventually.
Kaling is currently working on the final season of her hulu series The Mindy Project. Kaling is also starring in the film A Wrinkle in Time.
According to E! News, the 38-year-old actress was "an unexpected surprise" but that there will not be any changes made to production schedules for her upcoming projects.
Being that I'm Indian, I'm already an auntie to this child.
I'm sure some in the Desi community are beside themselves that Kaling is pregnant and unmarried. I say F*CK YOU!
She's a writer, producer, actress, comedian, director and best-selling author. SHE'S KILLING IT!
I'm sure she'll be a great mom as well.
I cannot wait to see her maternity outfits!
Kaling isn't the only celeb to reveal baby news. Jessica Alba took to Instagram and posted that she's expecting baby no. 3 with husband Cash Warren. The couple have two daughters, Honor Marie and Haven Garner.

If you don't follow Drake's dad on Instagram, you should!
He offers nonstop entertainment and rivals Ms. Tina Lawson's account.
Last year Drake released his own Virginia Black Whiskey and has just released an ad for the alcohol starring his dad, Dennis Graham. On the 'gram, Dennis has been promoting his son's whiskey line for awhile, and now it looks like it's finally paying off.
Dennis' persona rivals Dos Equis' Most Interesting Man with Dennis being the realest dude ever.
Check out the ads below...they're hilarious!
Beyonce Debuts Twins and Post-Baby Bod
 |
| Instagram: @beyonce |
Beyonce debuted twins, Rumi & Sir, via Instagram with the caption Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today. With a series of mom, dad, little girl and baby emojis. So, for all the Stans bad at math...the babies were born on June 13th.
A lot of the Beyhive was confused because Bey says Sir Carter & Rumi.
Was Rumi not a Carter? Is Sir Carter going to be Sir Carter Carter? Are the boy/ girl? Boys? Girls?
Then, Grandma Tina reposted the photo on her Instagram with the caption:
So Happy my baby shared a photo of her babies with the world ❤️❤️❤️proud grandma hello Sir Carter and Rumi Carter❤️🙏🏾❤️ 7/13/2017 Boy and girl what a blessing
There you have it!
In late June TMZ reported the Carters named their twins Rumi and Sir after their company reportedly trademarked the names.
Rumi is allegedly named after the famous 13th century Persian poet (you've most likely seen a quote or two on the 'gram from your friends) and Sir is allegedly named after one of Rumi's famous poems:
“ Bring the pure wine of love and freedom. But sir, a tornado is coming. More wine, we'll teach this storm
A thing or two about whirling. ”
Some of the Beyhive thinks their queen was inspired by the name Sir from her makeup artist, Sir John.
Queen Bey kept up the ethereal theme she used when she revealed she was pregnant back in February.

Can we talk about how bangin' Bey looks though!? I see a flat tummy!!
A flat stomach! Something some of us have been aspiring for for years...yet this woman is a month postpartum and looks amazing!
We didn't know the exact birthday really up until the post. Grandpa, Mathew Knowles, took to social media on June 18th to announce the babies were indeed here, which we don't know if Bey and Jay were happy with.

Fans were speculating Beyonce would reveal the twins soon after she and Jay-Z were spotted and Vic Mensa's listening party on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.
Some pap photos surfaced.which prompted Bey and her squad to post her own photos of her that same day rocking a mini-skirt and blouse..AGAIN A MONTH AFTER GIVING BIRTH!!
She definitely looks amazing and is coming back while the Carter family has been in the news following Jay's 4:44 album and him revealing how the couple had their issues. We can only imagine as fans what's next!

Rob Kardashian Puts Blac Chyna on Blast: NSFW
 |
| Instagram: @robkardashian Rob says he's going to make his own Lemonade album following his fallout with Chyna |
Early Wednesday morning, everyone was glued to Instagram to, once again, see Rob Kardashian put his baby-mama, Blac Chyna on blast.
This time, it took a very dramatic turn.
Kardashian posted naked pictures of Chyna he obtained either from her or from other sources claiming she had been cheating on him with multiple guys. Kardashian says Chyna slept with two other guys within days of sleeping with him in the bed their daughter Dream sleeps.
Kardashian claims that Chyna's post-baby body isn't from flat tummy teas or waist training, it's from surgery that he paid for as well as thousands of dollars in jewelry he just purchased for her.
He also claims Chyna has a drug and alcohol problem and will not be seeing their daughter.
During Kardashian's rant, Chyna took to Snapchat claiming Rob beat her and threatened.
When Instagram took down Kardashian's pictures and then eventually shut down his account, Rob took to Twitter:
Then there's a Craigslist ad moving around the interwebs allegedly from Kardashian and he's trying to sell the bed Chyna committed her sins on.
While all of us were eating our popcorn watching this train wreck, celebrities weighed in with their opinion on the matter too.Rob Kardashian is on Craigslist selling the bed he used to share with Blac Chyna. pic.twitter.com/DBlxLpNLHS— Funny Or Die (@funnyordie) July 5, 2017
Uncle Snoop and 50 Cent posted responses on Instagram.
T.I. tried to help Rob out by telling him to chill out, only to be called out himself.
Many reports are saying Kardashian could be in some serious legal trouble seeing as he posted the nude photos of Chyna violate California's revenge porn law.
Regardless, the real issue at hand is how dysfunctional and toxic Rob and Chyna's relationship is. All of us saw that having a child with Chyna, while her baby-daddy Tyga was dating Kardashian's little sis Kylie wasn't the smartest move. We've watched this relationship disintegrate for over a year and we know all of this because Kardashian is constantly posting about it.
Rob cries wolf on Instagram, then days later we're told he's doing fine...just going through some stuff.
We all know Chyna has always been Chyna, but Rob needs to seriously grow up. Posting nudes your ex sent you is the worst thing you can do..it's f&#kboy behavior.
Yes, Chyna shouldn't have cheated, but Rob isn't looking like a Saint right now either.

Jay-Z's 4:44
 |
| Twitter: @_dutch12 |
I've seen the memes, the gifs, the tweets and instagrams.
I've read the think pieces, the Stan pieces and the Beyhive clapbacks.
I've finally had the time to listen to Jay-Z's highly anticipated 4:44 album.
There's plenty of things I've had to process one of them accepting HOV brought back the hyphen to his name.
Okay, so this is Jay's response to Lemonade, my favorite Beyonce album. During the Lemonade era I questioned if Beyonce really was singing about her own marriage.
She and Jay have been secretive about their relationship since the beginning, so I was skeptical that they'd let us in so much. But, then the tabloid stories surfaced and made me think...but still didn't believe this was true.
I went to the On the Run tour post- elevator-gate and saw that the Carters seemed distant. Still, I thought it wasn't real life because- again- they don't tell us much about their lives. When B sang Resentment and hit the part where she sang been riding with you for 12 years I still thought she wouldn't throw her man under the bus like this while they're on tour!
Well, here we are.....3 years and a set of twin babies later and we have 4:44 where HOV tells us hey, Beyhive...I cheated on your queen and...my bad.
No wonder Solange beat his a$$!
He mentions in Kill Jay-Z, "You egged Solange on, knowin' all along, all you had to say you was wrong."
The album definitely shows Jay's growth lyrically. He's singing about his real-life now. How he's changed and matured, but I'm still pissed.
Look, I'm obvi not in the Carters relationship (even though I'd die to be!) but it's interesting to hear how bad Jay treated Bey, yet she stood by him.
Did he cheat on her while they were married? When they were dating? Was it both? Was she pregnant? WHY IS SHE STILL WITH HIM!?
He mentions miscarriages, in the plural sense which makes me wonder if Bey had more than one. We knew the couple suffered the loss back in 2012 after Blue was born and Jay released Glory.
In Family Feud, Bey is actually singing on the track. Reports state Mrs. Carter okayed all of the tracks before the album was released.
I don't know what kind of therapy these two sought but it looks like it's pretty successful. But think about it, this couple has taken their painful moments and have turned it into a career game-changer for themselves....and have cashed in on the process. Turning lemons into lemonade.
Jay doesn't only apologize to Beyonce profusely, but also touches on the Kanye feud in Kill Jay-Z
"But you ain't a Saint, this ain't KumbaYe, but you got hurt because you did cool by Ye / You gave him 20 million without blinking, he gave you 20 minutes on stage, (expletive) was he thinking / '(Expletive) wrong with everybody?' is what you saying, but if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane."
Another element of the album that surprised me as others was Jay revealing his mother is a lesbian. In Smile he raps “Mama had four kids, but she’s a lesbian/Had to pretend so long that she’s a thespian. Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate/Society shame and the pain was too much to take."
All in all, it's apparent Jay is learning from his mistakes and is growing and credits much to that to being a dad. The music fan in me likes the growth, but I'm a female and a die-hard Beyonce fan. I feel his "apology" to Beyonce and all of doesn't seem enough for me.
You seriously have the baddest chick in the game and you played her?
To quote Baddie Bey & Prince "you play me, you play yourself"
