Drake Mocks "Hotline Bling" in T-Mobile Super Bowl Ad

Drake and his turtleneck will both play a key role at Super Bowl 50.


T-Mobile has given fans an early look at its upcoming commercial for the big game, one that features Drake poking fun at his very own music video.


You know the one; the one for "Hotline Bling" that features Drake dancing around in a decidedly UNcool manner.


In the following footage, Drake is recreating that video, only for a T-Mobile executive to yell "Cut!" and offer up a note:


“When you say ‘call me on my cell phone," just add ‘device eligible for upgrade after 24 months,"” the man in the suit says.


"Genius!" Drake replies.


Another executive then chimes in with: "Also, you need to include that streaming music will include data charges."


“Fantastic idea!” Drake says, with a giant happy smile on his face. “These changes don’t ruin the song at all!”


We then see more of Drake"s awkward old man dancing and, we must say, this is pretty awesome all around.


It"s the perfect mix of product and spokesman, and it gives us a look at a self-deprecating, totally self-aware Drake.


Well done all around.


Allow us to go add this video to our collection of favorite Super Bowl commercials.

Farrah Abraham: Kendall Jenner & Khloe Kardashian Are Sad and Weak!

Farrah Abraham has always been quick to pick a fight, but in recent weeks, she’s stepped her game up and started beefing with just about celebrity that crosses her path.



It all started when Farrah lashed out at Nicki Minaj on Twitter.


This served as a sort of domino effect feud that’s resulted in several new feuds, and even more idiocy from Farrah.


You see, the Nicki-Farrah beef was the subject of a sketch starring Kendall Jenner, Khloe Kardashian and Snoop Dogg that aired on Kendall’s new FYE talk show, Kocktails With Khloe.


While Farrah has been a joke to the rest of the world for several years, she still doesn’t see herself that way and she made it clear that she was not cool with being mocked by the likes of the Kard clan.


Farrah slammed Kendall and Khloe on Instagram, but apparently she still has more outrage to vent.


Farrah spoke with Radar Online today, and the Teen Mom trainwreck went off when the topic of Kendall and Khloe came up:


“I just saw the clips. I just feel like it was sad if someone’s in their own home talking and behaving that way about someone who they have never even met,” Farrah said.


“I think people who are like that, they are weak individuals and if they don’t stand up for what is right, then what is our world becoming? So that’s why I stand firmly for what I believe.”



It’s the usual garbled word salad we’ve come to expect from Farrah, but we think the gist is that she’s not cool with Kendall or Khloe.


Oh, and she’s still not exactly besties with Nicki, but she’s gonna beef with the rapper, because, like, people like her, and stuff:


“I don’t need to think that everyone’s right when they’re behaving badly,” she said, adding, “Like I’m not going to fight with Nicki Minaj because everyone wants to be her friend and she has followers and all that stuff.”


“I don’t agree, and I know that I’m in the right, and they are very much in the wrong. So I wish them all the best, but I’m not a fan of them.”


So there you have it. We’re sure Kendall, Khloe and Nicki are totally torn up about the fact that Farrah isn’t a fan of theirs.


Will they ever get over it? We’ll keep you posted.


Kate Middleton "Dreads" India Trip, William Tells Her To Suck It Up

Their Royal Highnesses are scheduled to make an official visit to India and Bhutan this spring.



The timing of the trip has not yet been disclosed by Kensington Palace, but that doesn’t stop some tabloids from claiming that the Duchess of Cambridge is “dreading” the idea of being away from her two children for an extended amount of time.


According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, Prince William has told his wife to “act like a royal” and stop begging him to cancel their trip.


Queen Elizabeth II’s 90th birthday is on April 21st, and celebrations are already being planned.  It’s unclear if the Cambridges will visit both countries and miss the festivities, or if their trip is scheduled prior.


To celebrate Her Majesty, a two-hour documentary is being put together by royal biographer Robert Hardman.  Members of the House of Windsor, including Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, William and Catherine have be interviewed for the ITV network special.


This will be Catherine’s second time taking part in an on-camera interview since her 2010 engagement, so why not drum up some rumors about her performance?


“We’re guessing Kate Middleton was coached within an inch of her life for the interview,” CDL writes.


“After receiving the list of questions someone most assuredly went over them with a fine-tooth comb, decided which ones the Duchess of Cambridge would be permitted to answer and then provided appropriate replies to each query.


“A Royal minder or two probably sat down with Duchess Kate and made her read the prepared answers over and over again until the future Queen was able to come across as spontaneous. Wonder if there were many tears shed before the actual interview even started!”


Who is she, Katie Holmes? 


Leah Messer and Corey Simms: On GREAT Terms with Kids, Each Other!

Despite reports that Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer “won” custody of her twins from Corey Simms, insiders say it was a mutual decision.


Moreover, the former spouses reached an agreement without any input from a judge, and are said to be on much better terms lately.



As we reported last week, Leah Messer and Corey Simms struck a deal last week regarding custody of the couple’s twin daughters.


Given the contentious history between them – if you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you are well aware of it – this was billed as a “win” for Leah.


Yet it wasn’t quite like that – and that’s a good thing for all involved.


Both parties “were told that they had a few minutes to figure the situation out on their own,” a source close to Simms says, and they did just that.


“The judge then left the room and allowed them to talk alone.”


Messer, 23, and Simms, 26, the parents of 6-year-olds Ali and Aleeah, spoke “very civilly” and agreed to share custody of their daughters.


“The judge only signed off on the settlement,” the source insists, adding that when it came to Leah’s custody, “He didn’t order anything.”


Now, Simms and his wife, Miranda Patterson, are dedicated to remaining on good terms with his ex-wife after years of public feuding.


Corey and Miranda, who are parents to a baby daughter, Remington, have accused Leah of abusing drugs while parenting their children.


Messer went to rehab last year for what MTV described as anxiety and depression (and subsequently divorced Jeremy Calvert).


Time, and treatment have apparently healed this rift.


Simms and Messer have agreed to abide by a shared plan, splitting custody of the twin girls almost equally, and co-parenting together.


For all the reunion show squabbling, cheating accusations and shade-throwing on Twitter, it looks like they’re all in a very good place.


“Corey and Miranda think Leah is doing much better now, which makes it easier for them to get along with her,” the insider explains.


“They’re praying Leah stays on a good path … Corey never wanted to take the girls away from … he felt it was in the girls’ best interest.”
