Kim Kardashian may be divorcing Kanye West, but she is still there to support him in his career. Kim and her kids are back in Atlanta for Kanye West's encore "Donda" album release. She shared pics of the kids like she did last time when they were there a few weeks ago. Also, Kanye shared a photo of his makeshift bedroom at the stadium, where I told you he's been staying, and it's less than impressive. There's a bed on the floor in a small room, with a few other things in the room. Basically, it looks like your average dorm room. He's just missing the posters on the walls. And from that bedroom, Kanye decided to go to sleep during his own livestream. After Kanye worked out and lifted weights in front of all his fans, he turned of all the lights and simply went to bed. And yes, people stayed up to watch. Read more with radaronline.com.
Dr. Dre's oldest daughter, LaTanya Young, 38, told the Daily Mail that she is homeless and living out of her car but her father won't help her out. She said she works as a delivery driver for DoorDash and Uber Eats, and as an assembler at a warehouse, but still can't afford an apartment in California for her and her four kids. Dr. Dre used to help support her buy LaTanya said she hasn't gotten any money from him in 18 months or even seen him in 18 years. She said, "My kids are staying with friends—they are not living in the car, it's just me. I'm taking odd jobs just to make it now—I got paid $15 an hour as an assembler at the warehouse. I'm trying to keep my head above water. I've been in debt for a while." Now, she's afraid that it's only a matter of weeks before her car gets repossessed. According to LeTanya, Dr. Dre's lawyer had told her that she would not receive any financial help because she had spoken to the press about him in the past. No word from Dr. Dre's team on this as of yet.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have landed a massive $900 million deal with ViacomCBS that has them covered until 2027. There are 14 new "South Park" movies on the way. Two will premiere every year, exclusively on Paramount+, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Not only that, but the "South Park" series has been renewed through season 30 (season 25 premieres in 2022). Trey and Matt said in a statement, "Comedy Central has been our home for 25 years and we're really happy that they've made a commitment to us for the next 75 years. We can't wait to get back to doing traditional South Park episodes but now we can also try out new formats. It's great to have partners who will always take a chance with us." I love these guys, they weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouths, though they can certainly afford plenty now, though with $900 million to line their pockets, they can afford a silver platter now, and a golden ladle, and diamond encrusted mansions.

Britney Spears' laywer, Mathew Rosengart, filed court documents on Thursday, August 5 to move up the September 29 hearing date regarding the petition to remove her father as conservator of the estate. According to E! News, he said, "Every day that passes is another day of avoidable harm and prejudice to Ms. Spears and the Estate. Ms. Spears' emotional health and well-being, must be, and are, the paramount concern. Further, all interested parties forcefully agree that Mr. Spears' continued presence as Conservator of the Estate is contrary to Ms. Spears' best interests, health and well-being, and that his prompt removal—or, at the very least, his immediate suspension—is 'critical' at this juncture." So far, no word from Jamie's camp.

R. Kelly is petitioning the court to be able to tell the jury that the parents of the women he allegedly victimized "knew or should have known about their respective sexual relationships with the defendant, the parents thereby consented to such relationships." The prosecution not only wants to prevent this from happening, but they also want to stop him from being able to introduce evidence of "any schemes by the parents of the victims to profit or otherwise extort the defendant on account of the defendant's relationships with their daughters." He also wants the new allegations he's facing to be kept out of this case - claims that he sexually abused a 17-year-old male he met at a fast food restaurant in 2006. There's also evidence that another male around the same age was involved as well, according to TMZ.

Aaron Carter, who already has an "OnlyFans" where he charges $15 a month for nude photos and videos, is now going nude for a Vegas musical. The musical is a gay male revue musical called "Naked Boys Singing!" featuring an all-male cast going nude on stage. Aaron is fine about going nude in front of a live audience, saying, "I think the naked body is a beautiful thing. We were all born naked." His confidence no doubt comes from his porn show he launched on "CamSoda" back in December, so he is no stranger to being nude in front of an audience, according to Variety. Guessing they're probably not gonna need a costume designer for this one.

"Law & Order" star Christopher Meloni sat down with Interview Magazine, and of course, the topic of his famous butt came up. Here's how he explained his now-famous bottom; "I've been blessed with glutes that have an attractive shape. But, I have a trainer, and we're going through bodybuilding phases… I'd been preparing for one year in a very high-intensity weight training program that actually focused on legs. So, I guess you could argue that the glute-peeping public are now reaping the benefits of all that hard work." And the 60-year-old has accepted the public's perception of him, admitting, when asked about being called a "zaddy" (handsome, fashionable, sexy man with swag, according to urban dictionary), "I've been called that a lot, and who am I to argue with it? Sure, I'm a zaddy." And if you need proof of his zaddy status, just check out the naked picture of him on the front of Men's Health magazine.

As for paying her to be a nanny, Vanessa said, "I have supported her for nearly 20 years, and [she] was never my or Kobe's personal assistant, nor was she a nanny," rather just "occasionally babysat my older girls when they were toddlers."

Mina Starsiak from HGTV's "Good Bones" had some packages stolen off her porch, but now she has a plan in place for if and when the porch-pirate returns. She told Inside Edition that, after seeing someone on her home-surveillance camera stealing packages off her porch in Indianapolis, she "prank packages" to try to get back at them. One of them was a box containing a spider that jumps out at you when you open it, which she tested on her 2-year-old son, Jack. Mina said, "If you're going to keep stealing stuff, you're going to get things you really don't care for. Mina is ready to go with glitter bombs, motion sensor alarm, and dirty diapers. She's hoping the person will think twice about doing it again.
