’16 And Pregnant’ Poll: Should Savon Have Split Up With Mauwi?

by 06/10/14

A Georgia teen couldn’t juggle being a new mom, a student and a girlfriend on Monday night’s episode of “16 and Pregnant,” but was ending her relationship with her loyal boyfriend the best decision?

Despite the fact that Savon became pregnant by another guy, she started dating her friend Mauwi. When the father of her baby completely dropped out of the picture, Savon worried that Mauwi would follow suit, but the college student didn’t falter: He quickly became a solid support system for the mom-to-be, offering to help with the child and even come home to assist on weekends.

That’s when Savon realized she may have finally found The One.

“I wish I would have just sat down and realized that Mauwi was the right person for me to be with, instead of trying to be with somebody who has no interest in me,” Savon told her aunt, LaDonna.

Throughout Savon’s pregnancy, she wouldn’t have sex with Mauwi, even saying that she was “traumatized” and planned to wear a chastity belt after her son arrived. Mauwi was patient and agreed to wait, but their relationship never got that far.

After Baby Eden was born, Savon told Mauwi that being a mother, a student and a girlfriend was “too much right now.” “I’m just coming to the realization that I’m a mom, and that kind of comes first,” she said, breaking it off with him. It was a mature, brave decision, but part of her regretted it.

Can This Ad Help Abolish The Redskins Name?

by 06/10/14

In addition to taking a stand against the casual wearing of headdresses, Native Americans will take on the sports world Tuesday (June 10) evening. A California tribe plans to run an ad during the NBA Finals taking aim at the Washington Redskins for boasting a name that they find offensive.

According to the Washington Post, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation has paid for an ad titled “Proud To Be” — which first appeared online around the Super Bowl — to air during the big game.

The ad features Native Americans listing a litany of names that they identify with, ending with the sentiment, “Native Americans call themselves many things. The one thing they don’t …” and a photo of a Redskins helmet.

The original video — which is one minute longer than what will air tonight — was created by National Congress of American Indians, who teamed up with the Oneida Indian Nation to send a letter to NFL players asking them to change the offensive name.

The tribes are not alone in their opposition; 76 news outlets and journalists publicly opposed the use of the Redskins name last year, according to Pew Research, and a group of high school journalists lobbied to stop using the term, despite it being the school’s mascot. That proposal has currently been delayed.

The ad is slated to run in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco and Washington.

It remains to be seen what effect this all will have, however, ...

Whose Heart Is Sure To Be Broken On Tonight’s ‘Faking It’ Finale?

by 18 mins ago

Weddings can occasionally be a recipe for disaster and heartache. Case in point: Aunt Ally’s majorly cray ceremony on Season 2 of “Awkward.”

Now our gut is telling us that tonight’s “Faking It” season finale will be equally dramatic when Amy‘s mom Farrah ties the knot with Lauren‘s dad. Between a couple of teenage wedding crashers and a potentially shocking speech from Amy (seriously, will homegirl finally ‘fess up her feelings?), the only thing that could further push this ceremony out of tame territory would be another epic croquembouche fight. (Fingers crossed!)

While Aunt Ally’s nuptials left Jenna brokenhearted on “Awkward,” who’s liable to be left out in the cold tonight on “Faking It”? Threesomes clearly don’t work between Amy, Karma and Liam, which means one of them will likely end up in SoloTown. The first candidate: Amy, who may risk her friendship by laying her not-platonic-at-all love on the line for Karma, only to wind up hurt and rejected (see: sorta-secret lovers Kiam).

Then there’s hunky Liam, who could get ousted if Amy’s feelings are actually reciprocated by Karma – making it a triumphant WIN for the Karmy.

Finally, there’s Karma, the gal who started all these shenanigans in the first place – could her seemingly selfish, Liam-obsessed ways come back to bite her in the tush?

+ Right about now we wish we had a Magic 8 Ball, but we’ll settle for your opinion. Who’s likely to have ...

DJ Khaled Is Sure The Spurs Cheated To Beat Miami Heat — The Streets Told Him So

by 34 mins ago

Is there any better hype man than DJ Khaled out there? If you think the answer is yes, you’ll have a hard time proving it after watching this video. Khaled made an appearance on ESPN’s “First Take” on Tuesday (June 10) to discuss the NBA Finals, and he was pretty much willing to put all reason aside, when it came to defending the Miami Heat.

The Heat lost to the San Antonio Spurs in game 1 of the NBA Finals, thanks in part to LeBron James missing the final few minutes of the game because of severe cramps. Heat fans cried foul, blaming a broken air conditioning system for the team’s suffering, and Khaled is really sticking with that story.

“They won that one game because they were cheaters,” Khaled said pointing a finger. “They won but they cheated — see they practiced with no [AC].” And his source on that information? “The Streets.” Of course.

A few seconds later, that was followed by the drop for his latest single, “They Don’t Love You No More,” and then more of this: “I respect everyone, but I can’t respect somebody turning the AC off and cheating. I can’t do it. And The Streets is saying ‘they cheated.’ ”

Quotables for days. Pause at the 21-second mark to enjoy Skip Bayless’ reaction.

G-Unit Reunion Tour Continues: Listen To ‘Ordinary’

by 36 mins ago

The G-Unit reunion remains in full swing.

A week after appearing together at Summer Jam, the New York-based collective dropped their third song since reuniting on Tuesday (June 10). Like their first two, “Nah I’m Talkin’ Bout” and “Real Quick,” their latest, “Ordinary” is a remix — this time of Trey Songz and Jeezy’s single.

Once again, the whole team is here, as 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, and Kidd Kidd all appear on the track.

Last week, 50 announced that fans can expect a G-Unit album by late November. With the rate they seem to be working at, that sounds like a feasible timetable.

The guys from the Unit may have put their issues in the past to again join forces, but new conflict with Slowbucks is continuing to flare up.

After announcing that they’d be investigating the chain-snatching incident from Summer Jam, and then throwing shots back-and-forth with Fif on Instagram, SBOE (a Slowbucks-affliated rap group) delivered a dis track on Today. You can listen to “0-300 Real Sh–,” a remix to Drake’s “0-100,” below.

I'm serious about these snacks. Catch me @adamfleischer

‘Insurgent’ Gets Its Uriah — And A Franchise Title?

by 06/10/14

Attention, Initiates! It’s time to meet your Uriah.

Lionsgate announced this afternoon via Twitter that Keiynan Lonsdale, an Australian actor best known for his work in the Aussie TV series “Dance Academy,” will join the cast of “Insurgent,” now shooting in Atlanta, as Uriah.

The 22-year-old will play a major role in the sequel to “Divergent,” a fellow Dauntless member who works alongside Four (Theo James) and Tris (Shailene Woodley) after the faction system begins to crumble.

Lonsdale is active on both Twitter and Instagram, but as of publication hadn’t yet made a comment on his casting announcement. So, hilariously, fans have been leaving their opinions about him on his most recent Instagram, an artful rendering of his new Timberland boots.

In another interesting tidbit, the film series also appears to have gotten an umbrella franchise name: “The Divergent Series.” Much like “Twilight” became “The Twilight Saga” from its sequel onward, it looks as if we’ll be lining up to see “The Divergent Series: Insurgent” on March 20, 2015.

‘Daredevil’: Vincent D’Onofrio Will Be The Villainous Kingpin

by 06/10/14

Guess who’s coming to Hell’s Kitchen? TV and movie vet Vincent D’Onofrio will play the villainous Kingpin of Crime, the arch-nemesis of hero Daredevil in the upcoming Marvel/Netflix series of the same name.

As just confirmed by Marvel, D’Onofrio is the first name to join Charlie Cox, who was previously cast as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in the first of the Studios’ series to hit the binge-friendly TV provider.

“We’re incredibly proud to have an actor with the gravitas and versatility of Vincent joining ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ in such an integral role,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television in a statement to Marvel.com. “Wilson Fisk is an iconic villain whose cunning and power make him the dangerous equal of our hero.”

The show will be run by Steven S. DeKnight (“Spartacus”), with the first two episodes written by Drew Goddard (“The Cabin In the Woods”), and produced by Jeph Loeb, head of Marvel Television.

We’ll have more on the show as it breaks.

Photographic Proof ‘Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams Was Clearly Born to Play Arya Stark

by 06/10/14

It’s no secret that Maisie Williams, adorable, pocket-sized British human and creator of hilarious Vine videos, may be the best — and most kick-butt — part of “Game of Thrones.” As the scrappy and murder-happy Arya Stark, the actress is impressive and growing into a terrifying but competent player in this high fantasy game of chaos and bloodshed (and boobies and dragons!). With Needle in her hand she’s not one to mess with — some might even call her damn-near unstoppable.

Which is why, when the actress posted this Instagram, we were none too surprised. Because Baby Maisie Williams, it seems, already knew she was born to play this part. I mean, just look at that expression:

#swag #baller #bitchez #paper

I mean…come ON. That stare, that mug, the attitude of a champion. This is a girl that knows winter is coming. If that’s not the sort of swag one picks up at House Stark of Winterfell, nothing is.

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.

update_HDMC3571A_632918.jpg_1453801_1920x1080

TAYLOR
Have you had any contact with your ex since filming stopped?
I’ve had very little contact with Felicia. We talked about our pasts and she said that I wasn’t trying anymore, which I’m not. I’m living my life for me, not anyone else.

Have you been seeing anyone new?
I have a girlfriend of almost two months. She’s the sweetest person, and she’s so freaking cute. It’s amazing to have someone like her, and I’m so happy I have her.

What was it like being filmed while going through such an emotionally difficult time?
I love that I was able to share my story with the world. It was a little awkward at first, but I got used to it. Hopefully, I’ll be able to help someone out.

What kind of relationship (if any) do you think you’ll have with your ex in the future?
Right now, I don’t see any type of relationship with Felicia.
