Bella Thorne Rocks Leather Pants in Latest Butt Selfie
There are many reasons to follow Bella Thorne on Instagram, but number one on the list may be her mastery of the belfie.
No, that’s not a term for a Bella-selfie – it’s what the young folk call it when you post a picture of your own butt. It’s an art form that was made famous by the Kardashians, but as you can see, it’s been perfected by Bella.
We probably don’t need to tell you that that’s a photo of Bella sporting some leather pants.
In fact, you’ve probably stopped reading this, and we really don’t blame you.
But for those of you who are interested in the history and motivation behind Bella’s belfies (That’s a combination of “butt” and “selfie,” by the way. “Bulfie” just doesn’t have a very good ring to it.), please join us in an intellectual exploration of Instagram’s most famous ass.
Bella turned 18 last year, and like Kylie Jenner before her, she quickly began posting racier pics to her page.
For obvious reasons, the strategy had paid off, and Bella recently reached the 10 million followers milestone.
Also for pretty obvious reasons, Bella is fond of shots in which she’s facing away from the camera.
Sometimes, she offers a reason for the day’s belfie, such as last week’s “Transformation Tuesday.”
Other times, she just puts on a bikini and takes a photo of her butt.
In both cases, we’re sure she receives very few complaints.
We hope you’ve learned something today, and we hope you’ll join us for the next installment in our Bella Belfies series.
Come for the ass, stay for the education!
Kanye West Was An "Aggressive" and Uncooperative Teen, Says Mom"s Old Boyfriend
This is unsurprising, given what we’ve seen him do lately.
81-year-old Willie Scott spoke to the Daily Mail about living with West and his mother, Dr. Donda West when the rapper was a teenager.
After two years of dating, Donda and Kanye moved into Willie’s Chicago home, where they lived for four years.
‘He [Kanye] was about 14. He was a beautiful kid, but he was aggressive and he was self assured,” Willie told the site.
“Kanye didn’t want me with his mother or any man for that matter. He was wrapped up into his mother.”
And she him.
“He was the only child and she loved him to death,” Willie said. “She was locked into him period. So it would not have mattered for me to talk to him when she was the one who made the difference.”
Kanye was so defiant, that Willie and Donda went to therapy to work on their relationship, as well as Willie’s relationship with Kanye.
“We went to a counselor to see if we could get him on the right path, but Donda wasn’t interested,” Willie said.
“She wanted ME on the right path. And that is what the dilemma was.”
Kanye was up front with Willie on what he would and wouldn’t do inside Willie’s home, namely chores.
“He told me in front of his mother that he didn’t want to have to do anything he didn’t have to. So that left the discipline on me basically,” Willie recalled. “And he wasn’t cooperative.
“He had to take the responsibility for living here and he wasn’t really willing to do that.”
Willie had no help from Donda, who “would make excuses” for her son, calling him a “genius.”
Genius or not, Willie needed Kanye to help with household chores.
“It was a sticking point…for him to take responsibility for the house,” Willie pointed out.
“It was his house and I told him that. I said ‘Son, this is your house and you have to take care of it.’
“But he was not into doing anything but his (rap) work. He did his thing which was doing his music. He was not interested in anything else, not maintaining anything.”
“He was a very creative kid, but he didn’t want anything to interfere with what he was doing, and that was his music,” Willie said.
Donda passed away in 2007 after complications following plastic surgery.
In 2015,Q Magazine asked Kanye if he had sacrificed anything for fame.
“My mother,” Kanye answered. “If I had never moved to LA, she’d be alive. I don’t want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears.”
Lee Reherman Dies; American Gladiators Star Was 49
Lee Reherman – the actor and athlete best known for his work as Hawk on American Gladiators – has passed away at the age of 49.
A rep for Reherman says his girlfriend discovered his body inside his Manhattan Beach, California this morning.
No cause of death has been determined, but Reherman had reportedly been complaining that he was not feeling well in the days leading up to his death.
A former football standout at Cornell University, Reherman attended the Miami Dolphins training camp after graduation, in hopes of earning a spot on the team’s offensive line.
He didn’t make the cut, but he did continue his education, eventually earning his MBA from UCLA. He was working on a PhD when Hollywood came calling.
Though most famous for the impressive athletic feats he performed on Gladiators each week, Reherman also racked dozens of acting credits over the course of his career.
In addition to his work in hit films and television shows like Columbo, Last Action Hero, The X Files, NCIS, and Jane The Virgin, Reherman also lent his voice to a number of popular video games, including Dead Rising 3 and the Ghost Recon series.
Law enforcement officials say there is no sign of foul play, and an autopsy will be conducted to determine Reherman’s cause of death.
