THIS WEEK
Are Kylie and Travis Now Back Together? According to BOSSIP...Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner are doing really well with co-parenting following reports a few weeks back that they were taking a break. In fact, it looks like they might have gotten back together. The rapper’s second annual ASTROWORLD Festival took place on Saturday, November 9 in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Along with hosting the whole event, Travis also headlined the festival, performing for the 50,000 + people expected to attend. While he was on stage getting sentimental about the second year of his very own festival, he took the time out to thank those who helped him get there. Among those people: his baby mama and their daughter. Even though these two supposedly broke up back in October, it’s not too surprising that Kylie would bring Stormi to the festival. The unexpected part came when Travis referred to what fans thought was his ex-girlfriend as “my beautiful wife.” Meanwhile, several fans were injured in stampede outside the concert. Three people were hospitalized with leg injuries after a stampede occurred in the moments before Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival opened its gates. The rapper posted video on Instagram of fans pushing down barricades and running toward the NRG Park parking lot prior to noon Saturday, when gates were scheduled to open for the sold-out crowd.
Kanye West Is Planning To Run For President In 2024: Kanye West also joked at an event this week that he’s considering changing his name to “Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West. The Chicago rapper, who appeared to be speaking in jest, made the wacky announcement while complaining that Forbes Magazine didn’t list him as a billionaire — despite his shoe company’s sales exceeding that amount. “I showed them a $890 million receipt, and they still didn’t say ‘billionaire’,” West said during the discussion at the Fast Company Innovation Festival on Thursday. “When people say it’s crass to call yourself a billionaire, I say I might legally change my name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West for a year until y’all understand exactly what it is,” he added. He also mentioned that he resented that people weren’t ataking his presidential quest seriously. He claims that he will have created so many jobs, that he won’t have to run for president, he’ll be able to walk.`
Overzealous Fan Pulls Nelly Off Stage: TMZ reports…One of Nelly‘s fans tried shooting her shot and pulling him into her orbit — and she succeeded … ’cause she yanked him off stage, and then got a pass for doing it. The rapper was performing Saturday night at the Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage just outside of Palm Springs, CA when he wandered near the front of the stage to touch his adoring fans’ hands … which backfired with a tumble into the front row. TMZ got video of the incident, and you can see that Nelly gets tugged from the crowd. He topples into the barricades and then has words with the alleged culprit … a woman. It seems like he was pretty ticked at first — but quickly changed his attitude to merciful. Once he got back onstage, he tells the lady … “You can’t pull me, shorty. I appreciate it — but I’m on the edge of the stage. If you pull me, I ain’t got nowhere to go!” Indeed. Luckily for her, Nelly acknowledged the act seemed to be more out of love rather than malicious. He told security to leave her be, and carried on with the show. Click photo to view video.
A$AP Rocky Is On His Way Back To Sweden: 
Just two months after being convicted of assault in Sweden, Harlem native A$AP Rocky is set to return to the country. According to Page Six,, the “1 Train” emcee, 31, will perform at Stockholm’s Ericsson Globe on Dec. 11 after receiving “tremendous support from the Swedish fans,” the LA Times reports. A portion of the proceeds will go to local charity FARR, the Swedish Network of Refugee Support Groups. Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is returning for the first time since being detained for one month in Stockholm on a July assault charge. He was released from Swedish custody in early August and found guilty two weeks later. “I am of course disappointed by today’s verdict,” Rocky wrote on Instagram at the time. “I want to say thanks again to all of my fans, friends and everyone who showed me love during this difficult time,” he added. “Imma keep moving forward. Thank you to my team, my management, attorneys, label and everyone who advocated for justice.”

Cute Up Your Body
From The Inside…
by M.K. Allison
It has always been important to me to look cute, but I took my health for granted. Though I knew better, I always ate whatever I wanted. Because of my busy lifestyle, I rarely ate a good home-cooked meal, and I’m convinced that I was personally responsible for the increase in sales at all the junk food counters in my neighborhood, and I never ever exercised. Then all of a sudden, two years ago, I lost my energy level and in a matter of days I couldn’t walk from my bedroom to my bathroom without being out of breath. Two days later, I was admitted to the hospital and discovered that my body had just given out because I wasn’t taking good care of it. My blood was so low that I needed two transfusions. The doctor called it “Nutritional Failure.” MORE
Single Scenarios

One ended our long relationship by leaving a message on my voicemail, and the other sent me a text. … “I just recently stopped seeing a married man, and my self-esteem has received a major boost. I understand now why he never left his wife for me. I was always there waiting for any crumbs that were left over from her table. But not anymore, from now on I want my own man.” MORE

The Conversation
by Kayla Ratcliffe
As I sat waiting in a quaint restaurant for my blind date to appear, I was nervous. I wondered if he was my type, or if in fact, I was his. However, when he walked in the door a few moments later, I almost fainted. His face was one I could never forget. It was a handsome face with thick black eyebrows, high cheekbones and gorgeous eyes. It was also a face I had hoped to never see again. I had first seen it five years before at a birthday party, which had been given in my honor. He had come as the guest of a mutual friend, and I noticed him when he walked in the door. He had an air of distinction, which separated him from every other guy in the room. MORE

Revenge:
How Sweet Is It?
by Jovan Tahale
When I saw my best friend slip my boyfriend a note at a party one night, my stomach jumped in anger, but I rationalized that it had something to do with surprising me for my upcoming birthday. I was turning the big 30, and I guessed that my friends were all conspiring to throw me a birthday party. I watched as he put it in his jacket pocket and gave her a big grin. Later that night, when he brought me home, I offered to hang up his jacket. MORE
