DMX Gained Weight During Rehab, And Apparently Plans to Keep It

Kourtney Kardashian: Pregnant With Fourth Child?!
We’re living in a golden age of Kardashian pregnancies, folks.
First we learned that Kylie Jenner was pregnant with her first child.
Shortly thereafter, we got word that Khloe Kardashian was expecting.
And of course, all of this follows on the heels of news that Kim Kardashian is expecting a fourth child via surrogacy.
Obviously, all of this puts Kourtney Kardashian in a very difficult spot.
Her status as the family’s resident baby-making machine is being threatened, and if you thought Kourtney would just sit idly by and let that happen … well, you’re probably right, as it turns out.
If, like us, you spend way too much time online googling each individual member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and then starting over at the top of the list, you may have heard the rumor that Kourtney Kardashian got pregnant with her fourth child because she wants to, like, bond with her sisters and stuff.
And because this is the internet and we’re living in the year 2017, the story only gets more ridiculous from there.
Kourtney is dating Younes Bendjima these days, but according to one persistent social media report, she’s not pregnant by him.
Oh, no … that would be far too obvious.
No, according to various anonymous “insiders” on Twitter, Kourtney is knocked up by none other than Scott Disick.
You may be saying to yourself, “Hey, isn’t Scott creepily dating Sofia Richie these days while drinking himself to death in Mexico, a la Under the Volcano?”
To which we would reply, “Yes, and we’d like to take a moment to commend you on your knowledge of the works of Malcolm Lowery and/or the films of John Huston?”
Put simply, Kourtney is not actually pregnant with Scott’s baby.
In fact, she’s probably not pregnant at all.
As far as we can tell, this rumor is the result of a scene in last week’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, in which Kourt revealed that she would be open to having another child with Scott.
Yes, somehow in 2017, there are people watching reality shows who are completely unaware that the footage there watching was filmed several months ago.
(The snow in the Cleveland scenes should’ve been a dead giveaway.)
Now, in order to cover our tracks, we’ll say that it’s possible that Kourtney is coincidentally pregnant with Scott Disick’s baby.
While we’re at it, that stuff about Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer might be true, too! Who knows?!
Britney Spears: Canceling Her Las Vegas Show After Terrorist Shooting?
We know that Britney Spears isn’t afraid of crowds or public appearances. She just took her sons to Disneyland for their birthdays, right there among countless other visitors.
Massive tragedies have a way of frightening us to our core, however. The Las Vegas terrorist shooting, which claimed 59 lives and wounded 527, had to be especially rattling to a singer and performer who performs there.
But … is Britney going to end her residency in Vegas?
When that monster Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd at a Jason Aldean concert, he ended dozens of lives, changed hundreds of lives forever, and destroyed his own family.
But following any terrorist shooting, there’s a culture of fear that endures. That’s part of the point of terrorism.
Do you all remember your first trip to a movie theater after the Aurora shooting?
I’ll be honest — I still quickly scan the room for anyone who seems like they might be concealing something. I’ve yet to see someone carrying a large package into the theater, and I don’t know what I’d do if I did, but … it changes you.
The point is to still go, despite the fear — to fly (yeah, I remember what it was like to fly after 9/11, too) and see movies and go to school and take public transportation and do all of the things that you normally do.
Otherwise, the terrorists literally win. To a degree, anyway.
Stephen Paddock was a jerk who demeaned his girlfriend in public, gambled for a living (he may have had an alternative revenue stream — some speculate that he was either a card-counter or did some sort of smuggling on top of his better known fondness for poker), and stockpiled deadly weapons.
But we don’t know what motivated to commit this evil act or what beliefs he holds that were behind it.
Maybe we’ll find out and maybe we won’t, but the impact that this massacre has had upon people is very real.
And it also impacts celebrities.
According to RadarOnline, their source close to Britney Spears says that she is terrified that another shooting might take place.
“Britney is heartbroken, but she is also legitimately scared to go to Las Vegas to finish her show.”
That’s her Piece Of Me residency, which has been running for ages and is actually nearing its end.
“As of right now, she wishes she could get out of the remainder of her contract because she does not feel safe at all going back there and doing a show in front of a large crowd.”
Britney’s not one for stage fright, so it sounds like she’s terrified that her audience members — her fans — could become an appealing target for the next monster.
“In fact, she has been really freaking out about it. She is already a slightly paranoid person, but this whole thing has gotten her and her family extremely concerned for her safety.”
Remember that Britney is also a mother. Jayden and Sean Preston don’t want to lose their mom.
“Several of Britney’s dancers are just ready to quit now. No one on her show really feels that secure about resuming the residency after what happened.”
That kind of thinking is normal after a tragedy.
“She is in talks right now with the casino to see if there is a solution. If she doesn’t postpone the show then she is going to require quadruple the security, at least.”
More security never hurts. You can’t plan for everything, but you can do your best.
That is so sad to hear.
If true, Britney isn’t the only one who feels that way.
Jason Aldean has canceled shows following the massacre.
And so has Jennifer Lopez.
While Jason Aldean’s audience was the target, Jennifer Lopez is clearly concerned about what many people are concerned about right now:
Copycats.
They say that the safest time to fly is right after a well-publicized plane crash.
This is when pilots and everyone responsible for plane safety are at their most alert.
In some ways, people are at their most alert for a shooting after a mass shooting.
But that additional caution also comes with the risk of a copycat trying to enact something similar, having been “inspired” by an existing massacre.
We understand Britney’s fears.
Her shows are legendary and incredible, but it’s always smart to put safety first.
