Who Just Called Jada Pinkett-Smith WAY Out?

Aunt Viv is PISSED, people.


The actress best known for playing the aunt to Will Smith"s character on the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has recorded a video in which she calls out Smith"s real-life wife.


Jada Pinkett-Smith went viral this week after releasing a Facebook video in which she suggested African-Americans boycott the 2016 Academy Awards because no star of color was nominated in any major category.


In response to Pinkett-Smith’s criticism of the Academy, Hubert has released a four-minute video of her own.


"First of all, Miss Thing," she opens, prior to asking: “Does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?"


Oh, yes. Oh, SNAP!


"The second thing, girlfriend, there"s a lot of s–t going on in the world that you all don"t seem to recognize," Hubert continues.


"People are dying. Our boys are being shot left and right. People are starving. People are trying to pay bills. And you"re talking about some [expletive] actors and Oscars. It just ain"t that deep."


(Editor"s Note: This is a huge pet peeve of ours. It is possible to hold simultaneous thoughts in one"s head. It is possible to let small issues bother you – and is perceived racism really that small? – while still having perspective on the world in general.)


At one point, Hubert references "karma” and how it can be a “bitch,” implying there’s major bad blood between her and the Smiths.


"I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living, made their living and made millions and millions of dollars from the very people you"re talking about boycotting just because you didn"t get a nomination, just because you didn"t win," Hubert says.


Earlier this week, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, released a statement on the lack of diversity among nominees, saying:


“I am both heartbroken and frustrated about the lack of inclusion."


So Pinkett-Smith isn"t exactly alone.


Check out Hubert"s rant against her below:

Demi Lovato on Sexy Attire: I"m Confident! Deal with It!

There was a time when Demi Lovato would never dare to expose any skin to the public.



As the young singer has documented numerous times, she formerly struggled with self-confidence, battling an eating disorder and a drug habit that landed her in rehab back in 2010.


So now that Lovato has come a very long way in her personal life?


Now that she’s feeling good about her body and even baring most of it in the pages of Vanity Fair?


Well, she has a message for critics who aren’t happy about this change in her image: SUCK IT!


Okay, we may be paraphrasing a bit there.


“What’s wrong with being confident enough to wear this?” Demi asks in the latest issue of Allure, adding of her old self versus her new self:


“I’ve never felt as confident in my skin as I do today. A year ago, on tour, almost every inch of my body was covered by clothing, and it was because I was hiding behind so many layers.”


The new Lovato poses topless on an inflated banana and doesn’t see a need to apologize for this.



Once I started feeling better about myself, I felt better about showing more skin,” she tells Alure.


“I have insecurities about my arms, so to wear a tank top on stage is extremely liberating for me, and uncomfortable sometimes.


“It’s also a statement, like, ‘Hey, watch out. You’re no longer getting the insecure Demi that you’ve been getting for the past couple of years. I mean business now.”


Good! Good for Demi, right?


Also good for Demi? Her relationship with Wilmer Valderrama.


The stars have been an item for over six years now and they are anything but shy when it comes to expressing their feelings in public.


“I don’t want to alienate my love life from the public, because it’s such a huge part of who I am,” the artist explains.


“It’s a balancing act. I can’t always let people in as much as they feel like they deserve to be let in.”


Whatever. You just keep doing you, Demi. We applaud you for it.


The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 3 Recap: The Lonesome Jubilee

On The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 2, Ben Higgins’ journey for love continued, as did rising tensions between some of the women.


For The Bachelor spoilers revealing the final four and winner, follow the link. For a rundown of last night’s show … follow along below!



Picking up where last week left off, The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 3 saw romance heat up and feuds escalate. You know. Standard.


Before we delve into the chaos, Lauren Bushnell (above) solidified her fan favorite (and Ben favorite) status with a one-on-one date.


This was one for the ages, despite (or perhaps because of) the awkwardness of a first kiss that was the romantic version of an airball.


For his other one-on-one, Ben chose Jubilee, who opened up about losing every member of her bloodline. It was pretty powerful stuff.


Now, for the insanity. At the rose ceremony, Ben announced that two of his close family friends died in a plane crash the night before.


Jubilee decided to pull Ben aside for a private massage, which the other women (Becca Tilley‘s rage face was amazing) did not dig.


When the other women ganged up on “Jubs,” she ditched them and screamed at the mean girl pack to just “Leave me the f–k alone!”


Yes, the Amber-coordinated attack completely backfired.


“What I like about Jubilee is that she doesn’t walk on eggshells. I want her to make jokes and feel comfortable,” Ben said of his crush.


Amazingly, that was not even the night’s peak drama.


Just before the rose ceremony, Lace pulled Ben aside to bow out of the show voluntarily, saying, “I have a lot to work on myself.” 


“I just feel like going home might be easier.”


“You can’t love somebody else until you truly love yourself and I don’t know if I truly love myself yet. I think it’s better that I go.”


Very noble of Lace. Meanwhile, a rumor started that Olivia spent a whooping $ 40,000 on clothes just for the ABC reality show.


The women also ripped on her toes, breasts and bad breath. Such a nice group setting these ladies have found themselves in.


That’s all she wrote for this week. You can watch The Bachelor online to see it in full, or you can take our word for the results below:


Still In: Rachel Tchen, Jen Saviano, Lauren Bushnell, Amber James, Becca Tilley, Olivia Caridi, Lauren Himle, Emily Ferguson, Haley Ferguson, Jubilee Sharpe, Leah Block, Caila Quinn, Amanda Stanton and JoJo Fletcher.


Out: Shushanna Mkrtychyan, Jami Letain, Mandi Kremer and Lace Morris.


Teen Mom O.G. Recap: Farrah Abraham"s Daughter Wants to Die

On the fourth episode of Teen Mom OG’s new season, Farrah Abraham struggled with taking Sophia to visit her late boyfriend’s family.


Meanwhile, Ryan Edwards was agitated with Maci Bookout being controlling, and Catelynn Lowell stressed about her daughters meeting …



It’s been awhile (we’re talking years) since we last heard from the Farrah-Derek Underwood storyline, a focal point of Monday’s episode.


In that sense, Teen Mom Season 12 Episode 4 was an emotional throwback to the kinder, gentler, pre-Farrah Abraham sex tape era.


As you know if you watch Teen Mom online, Farrah’s boyfriend and baby daddy died in a car accident when they were in high school.


He never met his beautiful daughter, Sophia. Now that the six-year-old is getting older, Farrah shared a poem that Derek once wrote her.


“Farrah you changed my world with the blink of an eye, this is something that I cannot deny,” Derek’s poem to the future MTV star read.


“You put my soul from worst to best, that is why I treasure you, my dearest Farrah. Now my life is a dream come true, it all began [with] you.”


Kind of sums up THG’s relationship with Farrah Abraham too, come to think of it. In any case, Sophia had mixed emotions about this.


“Why did Simon [Saran] not be my daddy? I want a daddy!” she said, adding “I wanna die, I wanna die,” presumably to go see Derek.


“When you say you wanna die to see him, it really makes mommy sad,” Farrah responded, despite the fact that she asked for it.


“Don’t you know that it hurts mommy when you say those things because I care about you, and I love you?” Abraham added.


Sigh. Complicated parental issues are no joke, of course. Just ask Catelynn Lowell, whose birth daughter finally met her new birth daughter.


Cate had a full-on anxiety attack just days before her wedding in large part because Nova and Carly’s first meeting was just too much.


“I just feel like I’m having a heart attack,” she told Tyler Baltierra while crying. “I’m nervous, just like seeing my two kids together.”


“And then only taking one home. Especially to see how much Carly loves her,” Cate said, though she wasn’t sweating the guest list.


“Farrah’s not invited,” Cate said of her co-srtar and rival.


Tyler laughed, “Farrah! Farrah wouldn’t come anyway.”


Oh, and Tyler opened up about a past suicide attempt while chatting with his father, Butch, freaking Cate’s brother Nick the hell out.


Never a solitary dull moment with this couple.



Over in Indiana, Amber Portwood’s fiance Matt Baier may have seven kids, but they’re getting hitched! Save the October 2016 date!


Amber’s mom? Far from thrilled about this event.


“I see the family a lot, but I don’t see my mom,” Amber said. “I don’t think she likes Matt … I don’t know what the f–k she’s holding on to.”


“I love my family, but I love Matt … he is my man.”


Later, when the two hung out, she got in a passive-aggressive dig about Amber’s “first wedding,” which the Teen Mom star recoiled at:


“I’ve been engaged four times before … I’ve called it off. I’ve never been so sure. You know, I wouldn’t go through with it if I wasn’t sure.”


At least she and Gary aren’t at war … for now.


Meanwhile, the ongoing Maci Bookout vs. Ryan Edwards feud returned with a vengeance when Ryan wanted an extra night with Bentley.


Basically, he thinks she doesn’t respect him. (Duh.)


“It just irritates me that she thinks that I can’t do first grade homework or get him to school. She’s an a–hole,” Ryan said of his baby mama.


“I don’t wanna say he can’t spend the night with Billy-Bob or Joe, but if he does that, then I wanna make up the days later in the week.”


Are those hypothetical people he made up?


Anyway, Maci’s point of view is that the adorable youngster “needs to be in a routine when he goes to school,” and Ry needs to chill.


Bookout was having none of her former boyfriend’s drama: “You were being ugly,” she said, storming off. “Go read your text message.”


The more things change …
