Iggy Azalea Has More Than Man Trouble:
Ashanti’s Longtime Stalker Sentenced
Rob Kardashian with Blac Chyna and her mom.
It certainly didn't take Rob Kardashian long to win over Blac Chyna's parents.
The once-reclusive reality star was such a hit among his former video vixen girlfriend's mom "the one" for her daugh- ter.
Tokyo was reportedly im- pressed by the 28-year-old Kardashian's strong man- ners, kind demeanor, positive attitude and adoration for her daughter. Chyna's father is apparently a fan, too, as the celebrity gossip site reports that both "love" Kardashian after spending the past few days hanging out with him at their daughter's Los Angeles home.
Kardashian's family, how- ever, reportedly wasn't as quick to embrace Chyna upon learn- ing she was dating Rob earlier this year. Much of the hostility stemmed from the fact that Tyga, Blac Chyna’s ex-fi- ance, is now dating Kylie Jen- ner, and both have a contentious relationship with her. But, his mother has soft- ened her stance in recent weeks after seeing the way Chyna has lifted Kardashian's spirits and helped him shed more than 40 pounds.
It’s Called The IRS
Rob Kardashian Is A Blac Chyna Family
Not so good news, for Iggy Azalea. The rapper is said to owe the IRS a few coins. Re- portedly, she owes 391k, for un- paid income taxes in 2014.
In addition to owing the IRS, last week Iggy’s name has been in headlines, after footage sur- faced of her fiancé, Nick Young admitting he cheated on her. As previously reported, Nick was unaware that he was being recorded by one of his teammates and admitted that he had been with another woman.

The 37-year-old actress, best known for portraying Ashley Banks plans to marry her fi- ancé, Dr. Vaughn Ras- berry, later this summer.
The cute couple’s love story began a year and a half ago, when Ali decided to start on- line dating.
“Vaughn and I met on eHarmony!” she reveals. “It was my first time dating on- line. We wrote letters for months before we decided to Skype. And then, of course, met.”
And Ali can’t stop herself from gushing about Ras- berry’s “perfect” proposal.

More Drama: Columbus Short Claims He Is Not Married
Columbus Short and Karrine Steffans
Iggy Azalea has been in the headlines recently because of her fiancé, NBA star, Nick Young.
Ashanti’s longtime stalker was sentenced to the maxi- mum of one to four years in prison on Thursday.
Devar Hurd, 36, who rep- resented himself at trial, railed against what he claimed was “prosecutorial misconduct” that led to his conviction and referenced Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson’s non-jail sentencing recom- mendation for Liang after his manslaughter conviction, re- ports the New York Daily News.
“A man’s life was taken dur- ing the course of that situation and the head DA recom- mended no jail time, but yet here it is I’m in Manhattan Supreme Court and I’m get-
ting none of that!” Hurd said. He argued that he was never offered a plea deal for less than the maximum sentence and that he should be cut a break
at sentencing.
“Just simply sending a sex-
ually explicit tweet, ‘sexting’ as it’s called, is not a crime itself,” he said.
But Assistant District At- torney Carolina Holder- ness described Hurd as a relentless menace who could not follow repeated court or- ders to refrain from harassing the R&B singer and her family.
Holderness said that at trial Hurd “got what he wanted,” which was the chance to make the Long Is- land family relive their horror once again.
Ashanti will finally get some years of peace, her stalker Devar Hurd was sentenced to prison on Thursday.
Diddy Says He Does Not Talk About Nonsense When Asked About Murdering Tupac
Former Scandal star, Columbus Short and video vixen, Karrine Steffans made headlines last week after she accused him of cheating on her with other women. Since then, both have commented on the breakup further, with Short stopping by Sirius/XM’s The Heat to speak with host Dion Deezy about all of the drama surrounding his ‘fake’ marriage to Karrine.
When talking to Dion, he clarified Dion’s use of the term ‘wife’ when talking about Karrine. “When we say ‘wife,’ we wanna keep that term loose,” said Columbus.
When Steffans learned her ex was claiming their marriage wasn’t real, she decided to post
a cropped photo of a marriage license with Short’s name on it, but it didn’t show her name, nor the date of marriage. The image was soon deleted, but Steffans didn’t stop there. Somehow, in one lengthy In- stagram post, she managed to offer him support and put him on blast at the same time.
Karrine wrote:
“IN RESPONSE TO STATE-
MENTS MADE BY @officialc- short ON SIRIUS RADIO: Drug and alcohol addiction is a serious issue that affects families and marriages world- wide. It breeds violence and lies, resentment and hate. It hurts. I love my husband and as always, I will and do forgive him for all his poor decisions.
After years of being silent on the matter, Sean “Diddy” Combs is addressing rumors of him putting a hit on rap leg- end Tupac Shakur.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Friday (April 1), the rap mogul spoke on the longstanding talk as well as his new positive mind state and honoring his friend, the late Notorious B.I.G., at the upcoming Bad Boy reunion show. The event is set to take place May 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Regarding the chatter about his role in Shakur’s murder, Combs dismissed the notion of him going there as “non- sense.”

“We don’t talk about things that are nonsense,” Combs told Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God. “We don’t even entertain non- sense, my brother. So we’re not even going to go there, with all due respect. I appreciate you as
a journalist asking. Thank you.”
Combs’ comments come amid the recent release of the documentary, “Murder Rap.” In the film, retired LAPD de- tective Greg Kading claims the entertainer-record label boss hired a Crips gang mem- ber to kill Shakur during the height of the beef between his Bad Boy Entertainment and the West Coast-based Death Row Records.
As for his new mind state, Diddy admitted that it re- sulted from growth he’s expe- rienced throughout his career while making a conscious ef- fort to maintain his compo- sure.
