Tyga By The Tail: Rumors About Transgender Affair Hit Social Media
Tyga has had a rough day. The internet was flooded with alleged screenshots of text conversations between the Cal- ifornia performer and trans- gender porn star Mia Isabella. Celebrity blogger B. Scott claims to have received messages that show Tyga sent explicit pictures of himself to Isabella.
With many in the public al-
ready disturbed that Tyga is al- legedly dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner, a sex scandal with a transgender porn star would be more fuel to the fire set by T-Raww’s critics. The “B*tches N Marijuana” rapper has not directly addressed the allegations, but he did send out a tweet that for all intents and purposes is clearly a response to the uproar....

‘Minions’ Set To Give Box Office A $100M Boost
To say Universal Pictures is on a roll is an understatement. With Jurassic World already having pounded away at most box office records, the di- nosaurs are handing this weekend off to the Minions. Already released overseas, the little critters have logged in over $125M in 26 markets and was No. 1 in 15 of those.
This weekend they will take control of the domestic box of- fice with an easy No. 1 opening and, by all accounts, will vault well over the $100M for Illu-

Kendrick Lamar’s Kicks Designed To Unite Gangs
Kendrick Lamar is using his partnership with Reebok to bring some unity to gang cul- ture. The Compton, California native’s Ventilators line is being presented as a recon- ciliation between Crips and Bloods.
The footwear features the word “Neutral” on the inside of each tongue. The outside of the tongue is marked with “Kendrick Lamar TDE,” and the back of the shoe is in- scribed with “BLUE” on one foot and “RED” on the other. The Kendrick Ventilators is ex- pected to retail around $143.

Bill Cosby allegedly con- fessed that back in the 1970s, he kept a stash of Quaaludes to give to young women — so they’d be nice and drugged up for sex — has given his accus- ers’ lawyers their “gotcha” mo- ment.
“It’s a game changer,” the lawyer for supermodel Janice Dickinson said of a sealed 2005 deposition in which Cosby admitted under oath that he kept a the powerful sedative pills on hand to give to women with whom he wanted to sleep.
Cosby admitted in the depo- sition that he gave ’ludes to a 19-year-old woman before a sexual encounter that he in- sisted was consensual but she said was against her will.
He also allegedly admitted giving the pills to unnamed others.
Cosby lawyer Marty Singer’s office had no com- ment on the matter, but there was more fallout on the small screen today, with Atlanta- based Bounce TV announcing it will no longer be airing reruns of Cosby “effective immedi- ately.” NBC cancelled a new project with Cosby back in No- vember last year after several women claimed publicly Cosby had drugged and sexually as- saulted them. While the claims have expired under the statute of limitations, more 40 women have come forward with similar allegations.

Paula Deen in a Halloween episode shows son in ‘brownface’.
Hours after the official Twit- ter account for the celebrity chef, Paula Deen, inexplica- bly posted a four-year-old pic- ture of her son Bobby in brownface, the social media manager presumably responsi- ble for the tweet was out of a job.
“Paula Deen’s Social Media Manager posted a pic- ture this morning of Paula and Bobby Deen dressed in cos- tume as Lucy and Ricky, from ‘I Love Lucy.’ This photograph is from a Halloween episode of ‘Paula’s Best Dishes’ that aired in 2011,” a representative for Deen told E! News Tuesday.
“Paula immediately had this
picture taken down as soon as she saw the post and apologizes to all who were offended. As such, Paula Deen Ventures has terminated their relation- ship with this Social Media Manager.”
The offending tweet, which remained online for over an hour, immediately drew the ire of the Internet, resulting in countless irate tweets and blog posts across the Internet.
The social media misstep comes as Paula, 68, tries to re- build her brand, which was damaged after she was let go by the Food Network in 2013 after admitting to having used a racial slur in the past.
