Oh Oh: Desean Jackson’s Pregnant Girlfriend Indeed May Be A Gold Digger
Washington Redskins WR, Desean Jackson and his girl- friend, Kayla Phillips.
Someone has come out of the woodwork claiming that Red- skins WR and reality TV star DeSean Jackson’s pregnant girlfriend Kayla Phillips (as seen on his BET reality series “DeSean Jackson: Home Team”) is indeed “a professional gold digger,” and planned all along to trap the NFL star by having his baby.
Omyn Newkirk, who has a son with Kayla, told Bossip ex- clusively that she became preg- nant with their child, only to drop him when he stopped play- ing college football.
Newkirk said Phillips, 24, also slept with singer August Alsina, rapper Wale and Tyrod Taylor of the Buffalo Bills.
On last Tuesday’s episode of
“DeSean Jackson: Home Team,”
Jackson flew in Kayla from her Virginia hometown to meet his family...and it didn’t go well. Cameras weren’t allowed into the house when Kayla first met DeSean’s mom, sister and older brother, but one look at Kayla’s dejected face afterward, and it was quite apparent that his mother questioned her in- tentions – to her face.
Too Short Spending 90 Days In Jail To End Probation
TOO SHORT
Too $hort is currently sitting in jail after rejecting a deal of- fered by the judge on his DUI case. After accepting a plea deal regarding a DUI in 2013, a judge ruled that he be on probation for three years and complete com- munity service instead of serving jail time. When the Oakland na- tive appeared in court last Fri- day (July 17), he had no community service hours to show the judge. The judge was generous and offered him more to complete the community service but only if he agreed to be on probation for three more years. The “Shake That Monkey” rapper turned that deal down and opted to spend time in jail because he didn’t want to be monitored anymore.
He began serving a 90-day sentence after his court appear- ance.

‘Classic Man’ Explains Comments Made About Nigeria
Jidenna received much backlash after discussing the precautions he had to take while attending his father’s fu- neral in his native of Nigeria five years ago. In a recent sit down with VladTV, the “Clas- sic Man” singer said he had military personnel to ensure his safety and carried AK-47s while there for his protection.
Sharing his experience led to him being highly criticized by people who felt he was portray- ing his homeland, Nigeria as a violent place. He took to Ji- denna.com to respond with an open letter. In the letter, he ex- presses that he understands people’s anger but having pro- tection was “not an uncommon

The Emmy nominations came out Thursday, (July 16). Fox’s megasmash Empire earned three nominations, but only one in the major acting categories (Taraji P. Hen- son – Best Actress In A Drama Series). What was even more surprising is that the show was locked out of the
“Outstanding Drama Series” category.
Co-creator Lee Daniels addressed the snubs in a video posted to Instagram. Daniels was joined by Empire star Jussie Smollett. The 32- year-old singer/actor asked his boss to “be nice,” but Daniels still took a sarcastic shot at the Emmys.
