Is Nicki Minaj behind the D'angelo Russell scandal?

This is better than #Empire! Ok, so D'angelo Russell has been getting dragged on social media for allegedly "dry snitching" on his teammate, #NickYoung. Well everyone seems to be wondering who leaked the video because the rookie didn't make it go viral himself. 

#Bossip revealed that A Houston ESPN radio affiliate claims they may have the answer. During a phone interview with a staffer from #Fameolous, ESPN Houston 97.5 exposed #NickiMinaj and her team, as the TRUE culprit behind the D’Angelo Russell tape leaking to social media.

The anonymous Fameolous source says that Nicki Minaj didn't appreciate the shade #IggyAzalea threw her way while appearing on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live last week. So she wanted to aim below the belt and decided to blow up the video, which was actually posted via D’Angelo’s SnapChat the very next day. A source from Nicki's camp sent the video to Fameolous, and vuala, there you have it.

Kelly Rowland opens up about new ventures

The lovely #KellyRowland sat down with 'TheYBF' and chatted about her beauty line, "Chasing Destiny," and the secret on how she keeps her toned body...

On her upcoming make up/beauty line:

“I am [coming out with my own beauty line]! I’m so excited! It couldn’t come fast enough. We have been working on this forever. We’re actually starting with lashes, and then we’re going to graduate into everything else. Sheika, one my makeup artists, we have just become tighter than tight, like. She’s one of my closest friends, and she started just by literally cutting lashes and making them for my eye shape. She works with one of my best friends, Lala, and now she does Nicki Minaj, too. She tailors the lashes to each eye, and I’m like, ‘We’ve got to figure out a way to do that for the masses.’ We’ve done it, and we’re very excited about that.”

On how she keeps her trimmed and toned figure:

“I love food, and I just have to be careful. I try to practice the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the time you eat the food that really helps your body, and then you have that 20% where you just want like three glasses of wine, some whisky sours, pizza, nachos [laughs], that kind of thing. That’s me.

On why she chose to do “Chasing Destiny”:

“Ever since Destiny's Child’s very last tour, I remember thinking to myself, ‘I want to put together a girl group.’ I just haven’t had the time to do it because I was busy doing my own projects and I was so invested in that. I didn’t want to be one of those artists who was so enthralled in what I had to do that I couldn’t really pay attention to the artists that I would be taking under my wing. I wanted to be completely focused on it, and that’s exactly what happened [with Chasing Destiny]. I had the time, and it has been a wonderful process.

On advice to aspiring artists:

“[My advice to anyone wanting to be a musician is to] save your money. You have to be selfish with your money. It’s so funny—as an artist, you have people who are so supportive of you on the way up, and you want to be able to help them because you feel like they were there for you. The truth is that you have to take care of yourself first, and then you take care of those people. Think about your future. The more you help people out, you have to look back at your account and be like, where did the thousands, the hundreds of thousands of dollars go? It’s great to have a good heart, but it’s also good to look at your account and be like ‘Look at what I accomplished, how can I invest it?’

Jared Fogle got his a** whopped!

Remember #JaredFogle? The Subway guy, who was jailed for distribution and receipt of child pornography? How can we forget right? Well #TMZ reported that Fogle was attacked in prison by an inmate who despises child molesters. 

---------------------------------------

According to docs, Fogle got jumped in the rec yard at Englewood prison in Colorado back on January 29, and it was not much of a fight. An inmate named Steven Nigg pushed Fogle down and then unloaded a barrage of punches to his face. 

---------------------------------------

Nigg, who's in for a weapons charge, left Fogle with a bloody nose, swollen face and scratches on his neck. 60-year-old Nigg was also injured -- a small cut on his left hand from delivering the whuppin'. Prison officials put Nigg in solitary as punishment.

Amber Rose hates being reminded of her stripper past

#AmberRose is still trying to figure out why #Beyonce can get away with being half naked and she can not. Amber sat down with #ETonline and mentioned how she is sick of being reminded of her past. "No one gives a f**k that Channing Tatum** was a stripper," she said of the Magic Mike XXL star. "He's an established actor who's at the Vanity Fair parties and the Oscars, but for me, no matter how far I go in my life, I see these stories that keep referring to me as a 'former stripper.' No one says 'former stripper' about Channing Tatum, or 'former McDonald's worker' about Brad Pitt. No one does that to men."

She added that other women, like Beyonce**, who may dress provocatively aren't subjected to the same treatment as herself and Kardashian due to their talents.

"We all love Beyoncé, but she's on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, 'Oh, she has talent so she's able to do that.' We don't have the talent that Beyoncé has, so we get criticized as former sex workers, but at the end of the day we're just women - we're all women - and we should all embrace each other," Rose said. Do you agree with Amber?

The film was a remake of the 1950s Judy Garland Musical. Beyoncé was being lined up to play the lead, a young woman whose dreams of stardom are helped by an aging icon.

But one Hollywood source tells #PageSix, “Beyoncé wanted too much money, and Warner Bros. balked at her price. The production budget was also said to be an issue with the studio, so the project has fallen apart.” Thanks to Bey's request, there will be no film.

Tyrese responds to Tank about former group TGT

Can't we all just get along!? Tyrese responded to former #TGT member Tank via Instagram, in response to his initial interview he had with tmz. Tank mentioned in a clip that the reason behind the group's split was that the business aspect of the group wasn't right. Tank mentioned that the money wasn't divided properly between the three: #Tyrese, #Ginuwine and #tank, and that Tyrese was paid the Highest. A rep for Tyrese says the group’s money was never split equally because the economic fact is Tyrese has had more chart success on his own. The rep did not deny money was behind the breakup.

On a personal level … the rep said Tyrese still considers Tank and Ginuwine his brothers, but “business is business.”

R.I.P Aubrey McClendon, part owner of OKC Thunder NBA team

Aubrey McClendon, Former chief executive of Chesapeake energy company and part owner of the OKC Thunder NBA team, died Wednesday in what appears to be a suicide vehicle accident. McClendon was indicted on bid-rigging charges a day before the fatal accident.  

The Department of Justice said in a statement that McClendon orchestrated a scheme between two large energy companies, which are not named in the indictment, from December 2007 to March 2012. The companies would decide ahead of time who would win bids, with the winner then allocating an interest in the leases to the other company, according to the statement.

McClendon denied violating antitrust laws and planned on fighting to prove his innocence and clear his name.
