Meghan Markle: In Crisis Mode! Planning Emergency Trip Home!
Meghan Markle has had it, folks.
She doesn’t know what to do with herself, almost literally.
In this time of desperate need, anger and confusion – as she gets attacked by her awful father left, right and in between – The Duchess of Sussex can only think place to go…
… home.
According to the latest issue of Life & Style, Markle is planning an emergency trip home to Los Angeles to spend time with her mother, Doria Ragland.
She remains very tight with this parent, even while the other parent speaks to every news outlet he can find about how terrible and ungrateful Meghan is as a daughter.
“She’s at a breaking point. She needs to escape from the craziness,” an insider explains to this tabloid, adding of Prince Harry’s better half:
“Meghan is living in fear of what her father is going to do next.”
Can you blame her for thinking this way?
Thomas Markle has often said that he has no way of contacting his daughter.
His solution, therefore, is to give one disgusting sound bite after another, saying that Markle will “deprive” her future kid of time with the kid’s grandfather, for example…
… and taking full credit for all Markle has become.
“She became the woman that she is today thanks to everything I did for her,” Thomashas said.
“Did I get any recognition for it? Any thanks? She doesn’t even speak to me now. How cold is that?”
Markle, as you might expect, can scarcely handle such attacks any longer.
Writes the Life & Style source:
“Apart from Harry, Doria is the only person Meghan feels she can trust.
“She’s holding a crisis meeting with her mom, who has some insight into her ex-husband’s behavior and is hoping to help Meghan figure out how to handle him.”
At this point, though, let’s be honest:
Who knows how to handle an off-the-rails Thomas Markle?
Thomas has lived a quiet and secluded life in Mexico.
He didn’t attend the Royal Wedding due to heart problems and Markle responded in an understanding manner.
But he’s decided to turn on his child in the months since for some reason, leaving Meghan confounded and heartbroken.
“She’s really struggling to come to terms with the fact that the man she once adored and looked up to has stabbed her in the back,” the insider says, adding that Meghan’s husband supports the trip home:
“Harry and Doria have spoken on the phone about their concerns for Meghan’s well-being.
“Harry agrees that Meghan needs some quality time with her mom.”

Kailyn Lowry vs. Jenelle Evans: A History of Their Friendship-Turned-Feud
These days, Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans are the most bitter of enemies.
In fact, it often seems that the Teen Mom 2 co-stars can"t go a day without throwing jabs at one another on Twitter.
But believe it or not, it wasn"t always like this.
In fact, there was a time when Kail and Jenelle were not only friends, but kindred spirits.
Dive into the gallery below for a full run-down of how these two went from besties to rivals:
1. Better Days
In the months after they both found stardom on MTV, Kail and Jenelle became close friends and bonded over their difficult circumstances.
2. Kindred Spirits
In the early days of the 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom franchise, Kail and Jenelle were among the most “at-risk” participants.
3. Always the Rebel
Jenelle’s penchant for bad behavior became apparent very early on — and her brushes with the law began before she was old enough to vote.
4. Troubles of Her Own
Like Jenelle, Kail clashed with her family beginning at a young age, but unlike Jenelle, she was in no way to blame for the situation.
5. Hard Times
Kail received little support from her alcoholic mother or other family members, and she came close to homelessness more than once, often relying on the family of boyfriend Jo Rivera for support.
6. A Bonding Experience
It was around that time that Jenelle asked Kailyn for a favor that would strengthen the bonds of their friendship …

Cardi B Orders Cardi-Beatdown on Pair of Chicks She Thinks Banged Offset!
On Wednesday, while Cardi B fans were mesmerized by her borderline X-rated hot-and-heavy PDA video with Offset, she is also accused of having committed a crime.
Specifically, she is accused of having sent her minions to attack a pair of strip club bartenders.
Why? She allegedly got it into her head that her husband Offset slept with these women – months ago.
TMZ reports that Cardi B allegedly ordered an attack on a pair of strip club employees at Angels Strip Club.
Though initial reports said that it had been a pair of strippers who were attacked, it has since been clarified that Jade and Baddie G are not strippers themselves.
They are bartenders at a strip club.
They say that on Wednesday, August 29, they say that they were face-to-face with Cardi at the club at which they both work.
According to their allegations, Cardi had several members of her posse attack them, throwing bottles and chairs.
That’s a serious allegation, but they say it was a serious attack, inflicting very real injuries upon both of them.
This is apparently not even the first time.
Jade says that on August 15, she got a heads up warning that the rapper had put a bullseye on her back.
She says that later that evening, she was attacked by five associates of Cardi’s who apparently grabbed her hair, punched her, and hit her with an ashtray.
This apparently goes back months. Back in June, Cardi reportedly confronted Jade and her sister Baddie G at a hotel in Atlanta.
Cardi is said to have accused Jade of having slept with Offset.
When Jade denied it, she said that the 25-year-old (real name Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar) threatened her with physical harm.
If the accusations are true, Cardi made good on that promise.
TMZ wants it absolutely clear that no one has accused Cardi of personally attacking either woman. She is accused of having her goons attack them.
Allegedly, Cardi personally told the sisters:
“I’m blood I’ll f–k you bitches up!”
Yeah. Jade and Baddie G have contacted attorney Joe Tacopina, who says that he is considering a lawsuit against Cardi over these alleged attacks.
The sisters are also planning to contact police to file a criminal complaint about the attack, and may have done so by the time that you read this.
That is an awful lot of trouble for Cardi to potentially get into just a matter of weeks after becoming a first-time mom to Kulture.
It’s also not the only legal issue facing the new family. As you may recall, Offset was arrested for gun possession in July.
That was a violation of his parole, which could potentially mean that he could wind up behind bars if his attorneys are unable to get him out of it.
Now, Cardi could be looking at charges of her own for allegedly ordering at least one assault on another human being.
At the same time, the August 15 attack sounds very hard to prove unless someone confesses and gives over evidence.
The attack on August 29, on the other hand, sounds like it happened indoors. We have to wonder if it was caught on security cameras.
Obviously, no one should be ordering attacks on anyone because this is real life and not some sort of nightmarish mob movie.
But we have to say that it sounds especially strange that Cardi is allegedly targeting a pair of bartenders whom she does not seem to actually know.
If you think that someone may have had sex with your husband, you should be mad at your husband, right? Not at some random woman who might not even know that he’s married.
There have been other accusations that Offset is a cheater. He’s 26 and now has four kids, for whatever that’s worth.
If Cardi is going to allegedly order attacks on every woman rumored to have hooked up with Offset, she’s going to be very busy.
Maybe she should find a new husband instead of an axe to grind. More importantly, we hope that she won’t commit any crimes.
We don’t want to have to wonder about who will raise Kulture. We just don’t.

Carole Radziwill Doubles Down: Bethenny Frankel is a Bully!
In real life, Bethenny Frankel is mourning Dennis Shields, both in private and in public. On the The Real Housewives of New York City reunion, however, she’s been facing off against her frenemies.
Carole Radziwill accused her of bullying her now that they’re no longer friends.
Some RHONY fans took issue with her accusation, and Carole took to Twitter to defend herself. Who is right?
Towards the end of The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10, Episode 21, ex-friends Bethenny and Carole did a postmortem on how their friendship ended.
“What she does is, she creates this narrative, this false narrative about me,” Carole accused. “This false narrative that I’m some girl who’s this, this and this.”
“It’s completely false,” Carole said as she aired her grievances. “Half of it is lies.”
When Bethenny interrupted, Carole said: “Are you going to continue to bully me, or am I going to be able to speak?”
Multiple times, Carole doubled down on her accusation that Bethenny is a bully who has been bullying her.
“Let’s stop using the word bully,” tweeted a fan. “These women are getting paid a lot more of money to be on this show. It’s a choice.”
The fan points out that, in contrast: “When children are getting bullied in schools or People for being different are harassed. That’s bullying.”
Carole replied … and shared that she disagreed.
“I get your point but don’t belittle what is happening here,” Carole wrote in her tweet. “[Obviously] I can handle it but kids need to know…..mocking someone and talking over a person is an intimidation technique. I.e. Bullying 101.”
“If they learn to stand up against that,” Carole wrote. “The bully won’t be quick to escalate it.”
But fans weren’t letting Carole off of the hook.
“You need to think carefully about the word bully,” a fan tweeted. “You haven’t been bullied at all. You both don’t like each other. You both said hurtful things. Move on.”
The fan cautioned Carole: “Don’t undermine others that have had their lives ruined by bullying by saying what has happend with you and Bethenny is bullying.”
“No I disagree,” Carole wrote. “We need to call out even the smallest infractions as bullying. Only this way we can change the dynamic.”
Carole continued: “Just like the #metoo movement is calling out ALL inappropriate actions. Men will pause next time they reach for a girls shoulders to rub. Change happens slowly.”
Fans remained unconvinced, and continued to try to explain to Carole that bullying refers to a specific dynamic between perpetrator and victim.
“So where’s the power differential in this situation?” tweeted a fan. “Where’s the intimidation? Where’s the fear? Where’s the helplessness?”
Carole is a rich white woman who is related to royalty. Her potential pool for who could conceivably bully her is pretty narrow.
“She has a choice,” wrote another fan. “Bullied people don’t have a choice. It was an argument between two friends that aren’t getting along right now.”
This is a very complicated topic. A lot of terms — especially buzzwords — get thrown around and then misused until they’re all but meaningless.
Most people would look at two former friends who are no longer again and say that they are feuding. One says cruel things about the other? That’s feuding.
In contrast, the only Muslim kid at a middle school isn’t “feuding” with some mean kids on his bus. A gay child isn’t “feuding” with the classmates who tell him to hang himself.
At the same time, is the definition of bullying as narrow as these fans suggest? Perhaps there are different types of bullying.
Language is complicated, and both the literal meanings of words and the connotations of those words can evolve over time.

Azealia Banks to Elon Musk: Sorry! You"re Not Really a Balding Drug Addict!
One of the most amusing gossip items of August had to do with the highly unexpected feud between Azealia Banks and Elon Musk.
In case you’re unfamiliar with those names, they perfectly represent the two main archetypes of American egomania:
Banks is the gifted artist whose rage over the fact that she still has to ride the subway like a plebe has driven her to repeatedly sabotage her own career.
Conversely, Musk is quite successful financially but is consistently driven mad over the world’s unwillingness to recognize him as the heir to Einstein, Edison, Henry Ford, and Jesus H. Christ.
In other words, they may not seem to have much in common — Banks is a self-made creative, whereas Mush is a left-brain cyborg who could’ve spent his entire life blowing his family’s emerald mine fortune.
But at the end of the day, Banks and Musk are just two sides of the same narcissistic coin.
Perhaps that’s why they clashed upon first meeting, then later realized they were destined to join forces.
Allow us to explain:
Earlier this month, NYC-based Banks spent some time in LA with the intention of collaborating on a song with Musk’s girlfriend, Grimes.
So she paid a visit to Musk’s sprawling mansion and found it to have less of a “Tony Stark” vibe and more of an “Allison Williams’ parent’s house in Get Out” feel.
In addition to comparing her experience to Jordan Peele’s horror classic, Banks says she witnessed a wealth of appallingly self-destructive behavior from both Musk and Grimes.
Banks referred to Musk as a “giant d–k” and a “beta male who took steroids and hair plugs to convince himself he’s alpha.”
She also accused Musk of conducting business while tripping on LSD, and Grimes of being a meth addict.
She later alleged that Musk had stolen her phone so that he could “delete evidence” of their encounter.
Needless to say, after all that it was quite a surprise to see that Banks had issued a public apology to Musk:
“I feel terrible about everything,” reads the now-deleted open letter that was posted to Banks’ Instagram page.
“Over the time spent liaising said collaborations [with Grimes], I was welcomed to a lot of personal information about you,” Banks wrote.
“The stuff made me feel awkward and uncomfortable about being privy to you, yet I never had the intentions of ever using the information against you.
She added:
“What started off as a cat-fight lead to some seriously unexpected consequences and I seriously apologize.”
Interestingly, Banks’ refused to use Grimes name throughout the letter, referring to her would-be collaborator only with a pair of empty quotation marks.
After posting the letter, Banks deleted her Instagram account, but now appears to have re-instated her account.
We’ll continue to monitor this weird-ass situation and let you know if it gets any weirder.

Ariana Grande: My First Kiss With Pete Davidson Was So F--king Epic!
Pete Davidson has been pretty blunt about how he’s always horny for Ariana Grande. But there’s more to these two than sexual chemistry and a major height difference.
Now, Ariana is speaking about their first kiss, and sharing some surprising details.
More than once, Ariana has destroyed claims that she cheated on Mac Miller. To those conspiracy theorists, she and Pete secretly hooked up years ago.
In real life, though, Ariana’s relationship with Pete began in late May — and now, speaking on Nicki MInaj’s Queen Radio, Ariana describes their first kiss.
“It was sick,” Ariana gushes. “It was so dope!”
Ariana gives a little more detail about the kiss, and even before their lips touched, she says, “It was so cute.”
She reveals: “He asked me for permission to kiss me!”
Asking for consent before your first kiss is not only cute, it’s a good sign. What’s the opposite of a red flag when it comes to dating?
“It’s kind of complicated,” Ariana says. “Because it wasn’t too naughty of a kiss.”
Naughty kiss sounds like a goofy British euphamism akin to sweep the special chimney, but clearly she just means that it was an emotionally charged but relatively chaste kiss.
Ariana then struggles to describe the passion between them, saying: “But it was like … there was so much … in there, you know?”
Go ahead, get all of the jokes about Ariana’s phrasing here and Pete Davidson’s impressive dong out of your system. We’ll wait.
Ariana meant that there was so much emotional significance in their kiss.
“It was really sweet,” Ariana continues to gush.
She says that, lack of naughtiness aside, it was a huge turn-on.
“But,” Ariana dishes. “It was also really sexy.”
Though a lot of people have wanted to keep seeing Ariana as young and innocent, she’s been a grown woman for years, even if she’s still the height of a fourth grader.
Ariana has made very adult nature very, very clear in her music, interviews, and music videos.
Ariana also shares that, kissing aside, she loves her engagement to Pete.
“We have a lot of fun,” she shares.
The two of them just click with each other and have similar sense of humor on top of all of that infamous sexual chemistry.
“He’s like my best friend …” Ariana affirms.
In terms of their overall relationship, which is still just a few months old, she reveals: “it gets better every day.”
Ariana continues to gush about Pete, saying that they seem to mirror each other.
“We’re the boy-girl version of each other,” Ariana explains.
Of course, physically speaking, they’re more like fun house mirror versions of each other.
Ariana resorts to hyperbole, saying: “He’s, like, 70 feet tall, and I’m 4 inches tall!”
That’s not the literal case, of course, but Pete does have a good 15 inchest on Ariana’s 5-foot-0. And that’s not counting his penis.
There is statistical evidence that suggests that their height difference might help Pete and Ariana’s relationship last.
If we had to guess, we’d say that this famous first kiss took place on, like, May 20th at the Billboard Music Awards, or within the next few days.
Maybe, like, the day before. But we wouldn’t be surprised if that kiss took place backstage.
Good for Ariana and for Pete for living their best and sexiest lives.
We really are rooting for them, as individuals but also as a couple.
Cardi B Allegedly Orders Attacks of Stripper Sisters, Claims One Slept with Offset

J.D. Madison, Southern Charm Star, Also Accused of Sexual Assault
J.D. Madison and Thomas Ravenel now have something in common.
But it’s not friendship and it’s not a role on Bravo reality series Southern Charm.
It’s the fact that each has been accused of sexual assault.
We’ve documented in the past how Ravenel has been accused of raping both a nanny and a woman with whom he went on a date a couple years ago.
The lead Southern Charm cast member has since announced that he will not be returning for Season 6.
Now, People Magazine has confirmed that an incident report was filed in August 25 with the Mount Pleasant Police Department against South Carolina businessman Madison, who is pretty tight with Ravenel.
He’s appeared multiple times on Southern Charm as a result.
According to legal documents, allegations of rape, sexual assault and involuntary drugging have been leveled against Madison by a South Carolina female, whose name was redacted by authorities.
The details are pretty disgusting.
The alleged victim told police that the incident in question took place on August 21, 2017.
She says that she was with Madison, his male friend and another female friend at her house for a drink prior to heading out to a local bar.
While there, she alleges that Madison intentionally broke a glass – and, as she cleaned it up, Madison “slipped a drug” in her already-poured beverage on the counter.
The victim says that, after finishing the drink, she fell in and out of consciousness.
Later, in the early hours of August 22, the woman says she awoke in the guest bedroom of her home where Madison was “forcibly raping and sodomizing her.”
The attack supposedly stopped after Madison received a phone call from his wife.
Then there’s this addendum to the story:
FITSNews has identified the male with Madison and the alleged victim that night as Jay Schwartz, a local chiropractor.
He was arrested on drug charges this same evening.
Mount Pleasant are reportedly investigating these charges, while Bravo is yet to issue a comment.
The allegations against Madison come three months after allegations of sexual assault were brought against Ravenel by “Nanny Dawn,” who was featured Southern Charm caring for Ravenel’s two children with ex Kathryn Dennis.
Another unnamed woman also brought a similar charge against the Wealthy Charleston resident.
Ravenel is currently under investigation by South Carolina police.
He dropped out of the show this month admist these scandals, defiant in his statement and adamant that only Bravo producers had done anything wrong.
“I’m not doing the show anymore,” Ravenel Tweeted, adding:
“In the contract they have the right to fictionalize your story. They took advantage of me. I decided I’ve got too much to lose and informed them I’m not coming back.”
This guy sucks so much.
And even if J.D. Madison never faces any charges for what he’s accused of above, we feel confident in saying he sucks a lot, too.

Tyga DRAGS Kylie Jenner, Takes Credit for Making Her Rich and Famous!
Reports say that, privately, Tyga misses Kylie Jenner and her sexy feet and the lifestyle that he had while he was with her.
But in a new interview — on Nicki Minaj’s radio show — Tyga says that he’s happy to have moved on and has no hard feelings.
In fact, Tyga claims that really, he’s the one who made Kylie into the success story she is today.
Tyga appeared on Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio, where naturally he was asked about his ex-girlfriend, Kylie Jenner.
Specifically, he was asked if he missed her.
“Nah, I’m good luv,” Tyga replied. “Enjoy!”
Well, Kylie turned 21 in August.
Perhaps she is now too old to hold the interest of the almost-29-year-old rapper who began dating her when she was a minor. Who can say?
Tyga then stirs the pot by claiming that he helped Kylie become the influencer, mogul, and near-billionaire she is today.
“You’ve got to look at the before and after,” he claims.
Tyga does acknowledge: “She always had a platform and she was always destined to be what she was going to be regardless.”
“But when I stepped in,” Tyga says. “There was a lot of codes being taught.”
By that, he means that she was still figuring out her look and her brand. He says: “It was like, ‘You could do this, you should start this, you should start doing your hair like this,’”
Tyga shares the advice that he supposedly gave to Kylie: “You should adapt because you need black people to f–k with you cause you need culture.”
To clarify, to f–k with someone in this case doens’t mean sex or pranking someone — it means to be willing to associate with someone.
“I had a lot to do with all that,” Tyga boasts.
“I don’t need to go online and tell people I did this and I’m the one helping her coming up with these colors and names on her … lip line,” Tyga claims. “It was a lot of stuff.”
We’ve heard about how Tyga’s foot fetish influenced Kylie to wear certain types of toe-revealing shoes and to paint her nails.
So how does Tyga feel about Travis Scott, whose album debuted at #1 thanks to Kylie’s influence.
“We ain’t got no beef,” Tyga claims. “It’s his time right now.”
Travis’ time began mere weeks after Kylie and Tyga broke up. For that matter, her pregnancy began mere weeks after she and Travis got together.
“You gotta let it ride,” Tyga says. “I ain’t got no beef with him.”
It’s interesting to hear Tyga claim that he somehow made Kylie famous or successful.
In real life, where the rest of us live, relatively few people had even heard of him before he began slipping it to the still-underage Kylie Jenner.
Kylie was a tremendous boost to his brand and his ego. And perhaps all of that has gone to his head.
We will say that rappers definitely have to maintain a certain vibe of financial security and self-assuredness, even to the point of absurdity, so Tyga almost has to spout off like this.
It’s weird to hear him take credit for what Kylie has done — things that many refer to as cultural appropriation.
Tyga Takes Credit For Kylie Jenner"s Success
Kylie Jenner is almost a billionaire and world famous largely because of Tyga … so says Tyga. Kylie’s ex appeared on Nicki Minaj’s Beats 1 show on Queen Radio, and took lots of credit for Kylie’s success. He said, “When I stepped in … it was…
Vanessa Marquez, Former ER Star, Shot Dead by Police
Vanessa Marquez, an actress best known for having played nurse Wendy Goldman on 27 episodes of ER, was shot and killed by police on Thursday after a confrontation turned violent.
She was 49 years old.
According to various outlets, police were called to perform a welfare check on Marquez yesterday, responding to a call just before noon about a woman who was suffering from seizures.
Per The South Pasadenan, a newspaper of record in the area, the phone call was placed by Marquez’s landlord.
Police later said at an evening press conference that they had been called to the woman’s residence in the past for help.
In this fatal case, however, Marquez pulled BB-type gun on the officers and then responded by shooting her once in the torso.
She was treated briefly at the scene and then rushed to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
“At the time [of the shooting] there was an LA County mental health clinician here with the officers,” Lt. Joe Mendoza said, adding:
“They began to communicate with her, she became very uncooperative and during that contact she armed herself with a handgun, she pointed it at the officers and an officer-involved shooting occurred.”
Marquez actually made headlines last fall when she accused George Clooney of sexual harassment.
She went on to say at the time that the famous actor actually blacklisted her after she made an accusation years ago on the set of ER, saying harassment was rampant in and around the legendary NBC drama.
Clooney even responded to the assertion via a statement that read:
“I had no idea Vanessa was blacklisted.
“I take her at her word. I was not a writer or a producer or a director on that show. I had nothing to do with casting. I was an actor and only an actor. If she was told I was involved in any decision about her career then she was lied to.
“The fact that I couldn’t affect her career is only surpassed by the fact that I wouldn’t.”
Mendoza, in the aforementioned press conference, went on to say that officers tried to help Marquez for about 90 minutes before she grabbed the weapon cited above.
He said the shooting transpired around 2 p.m. and that the woman “was undergoing some medical problems, some seizures; it appeared that the female was gravely disabled.”
Marquez also played the role of Ana Delgado in the film “Stand and Deliver.”
Following the end of her acting career, Vanessa was vocal on social media about her struggles with health issues, including terminal celiac disease, pulmonary embolism and osteoporosis.
She posted her final status update on Facebook on August 8, accusing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey of hypocrisy for previously kicking her off Twitter for “naming his friend George Clooney at the beginning of the #Metoo movement in October.
“But allowing the incendiary InfoWars host and notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to remain on the platform.”
Marquez was a long-time member of TCM Party, which is a group of cinephiles passionate about classic movies.
In response to her passing, the official TCM Party Twitter account write:
I am devastated to say that Vanessa Marquez @R2DivaLA was shot and killed by the South Pasadena police on Thursday afternoon.
I met her through #TCMParty, I hope she knew how much we loved her and I hope too that she is at peace
We feel the same way.
May she rest in peace.

Eminem Drops Surprise Album; Internet Loses Its Mind
Guess who’s back. Back Again. Shady’s back.
Tell … well, actually you don’t need to tell anyone, because apparently, every single person on Twitter found out about Eminem’s new album while you were sleeping last night.
Yes, just four months after the release of his twelfth release, Revival, Eminem is back with another full-length album.
The rapper announced the surprise project at midnight on Friday with a tweet reading simply:
“Tried not 2 overthink this 1… enjoy.”
And with that Kamikaze was released unto the world, and the reaction from fans to everything from the album’s Beastie Boys-inspired cover art to its byzantine wordplay has been downright rapturous.
The 13-track collection comes on the heels of the prolific period in Eminem’s career.
He first announced his return to the hip-hop scene back in … with a blistering freestyle attacking Donald Trump that debuted at the BET Awards.
On Kamikaze, Em addresses the controversy over those verses and reveals that he was the subject of a Secret Sewrvice investigation:
“Sent the Secret Service to meet in person / To see if I really think of hurtin’ him / Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists,” he raps at tone point.
While Mr. Mathers was brutal in his initial assessment of Trump supporters, he now says he’s more likely to view them as victims, rather than villains:
“I empathize with the people this evil serpent sold the dream to that he’s deserted,” he raps.
Other targets who incur Em’s famous wrath over the course of the album include various “Lil” rappers (Xan, Pump, Yachty, et. al.)
The legendary emcee really brings the knives out when addressing feuds with Tyler, the Creator, Machine Gun Kelly and Joe Budden.
“I see why you called yourself a faggot, bitch,” Em says of Tyler, a line that’s sure to attract some serious criticism.
Elsewhere on the album, Slim Shady admits that he was unhappy with the lukewarm critical reception that greeted his last album.
Many fans see this new release as a sort of do-over, an attempt to make things right with fans who may have been disappointed by Revival.
Whatever the case, Em has proven that he’s still one of the most dynamic forces in hip-hop, becoming a worldwide trending topic on Twitter just minutes after releasing his latest.

Pretty Little Mamas Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: Let"s Pretend
MTV’s Pretty Little Mamas debuted Thursday night, and it was filled with everything you would expect from a show that wants to be Pretty Little Liars meets Teen Mom.
Nicole is the lead of the clique. She’s 24-years old, unlucky in love and a mother of one daughter. She has a new boyfriend Michael, but in true reality TV show fashion, their relationship is not all that.
Nikki is 24-years-old, new to San Diego, and that means she’s new to Nicole’s group of friends. Nikki is a model who seems to be using the show to raise her profile.
While that’s not a bad thing, she seems poised to be the person to cause the most drama. She’s still in a relationship with the father of her child, so there’s that.
Then there’s Alyssa. She’s 25-years-old, and training to be a nurse. Her backstory seemed full of roses until we learned that her mother was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.
Cheyenne is a 24-year-old mother of two. She’s married, has aspirations of moving out of her father’s home. Will Pretty Little Mamas be a hit and allow her to do so?
Chandlar was friends with the ladies back in high school, but Nicole told her that her boyfriend, Aaron sucked, and she needed to get rid of him.
For Chandlar, this was a stab in the back, but it seems she’s warmed to the idea of ousting Aaron, the father of her daughter because he has a drug problem.
Heavily pregnant, Chandlar visited the memorial of the group’s friend, Bree, who was murdered six years before. It was a surprising piece of information.
The scene with the ladies meeting up at the memorial looked a little too staged to take seriously. It served as a mere way to have them all together in one scene.
They all seemed to reconnect because they were reminiscing about the past, and while Chandlar knew she messed up by choosing Aaron over her friends.
Nicole struggled to see why the ladies would welcome Chandlar back into their lives after everything, but we never got to see much more than that.
The next big event was Nicole’s summer party, and she flipped the eff out because Nikki brought her friends with her.
This was a big no-no for Nicole, who rounded up the girls to start hurling insults at both Nikki and the girls.
What’s more one of the girls said that she was sure she matched with Nicole’s boyfriend on a dating app.
Nikki was happy to take this news to Nicole who decided it was time for Nikki and her horrible friends to make their exit.
The sad thing is that some of these women seem nice, but when they’re this catty, it makes them look like they’re playing it all up for the cameras.
