1. Chris Rock ‘Hates’ His Name is Mentioned in Jada Pinkett Smith’s New Book
Chris Rock reportedly wants Jada Pinkett Smith to keep his name out of her mouth.
We reported previously via CNN that Pinkett Smith is promoting her new memoir titled “Worthy” and in it, she claims Chris Rock once asked her out on a date.
“Every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce,” Pinkett Smith told People magazine. “And this particular summer, Chris [Rock], he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’”
Pinkett Smith added, “I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors,’” she recalled. “He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.”
According to Radar Online, the comedian is quite annoyed that the actress mentioned mentioned him in her book.
“Chris hates that she keeps bringing it up and bringing up the other revelations about Chris asking her on a date and all of that,” an insider said to Radar.
The tea-spiller added, “Chris is over it and would actually love for her to keep his name out of her damn mouth.”

2. WILL SMITH FINALLY RESPONDS TO RECENT JADA PINKETT SMITH INTERVIEWS
Will Smith has finally responded to the recent spate of tell-all interviews by his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and his response may be quite shocking to those who may be taking up for him against the Woo actress.
Smith was quoted in an interview with his wife for The New York Times, in an article dated Saturday (October 14). Perhaps surprisingly, he was quite supportive of her sometimes-discomfiting revelations.
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” he said to the outlet, while also saying that Jada has more compassion and resilience than he initially realized.
3. SEXYY RED I'M PREGNANT!!!Sick of Faking For Fans
Sexyy Red's "Pound Town" navigation is leading her down the road of motherhood once again -- the superstar rapper announced she's expecting a child!!!
Sexyy made the reveal over the weekend, with the help of SZA, and on Monday, told her followers entertaining them has come with a significant personal cost.
Turns out she's been concealing the baby bump by sucking in her stomach -- even as recently as the BET Hip Hop Awards from earlier this month -- a sign she didn't want anything to derail her breakout year.
Sexyy didn't put a time stamp on when she's expecting her new bundle of joy, but the announcement didn't come as too much of a shock to fans, even though she just finished a nationwide tour with Drake.
The St. Louis rapper recently swatted down rumors she was responsible for leaking the viral sex tape that rocked social media last month -- but if it's related to her pregnancy, it will make for quite the "birds and bees" talk with her new child, 13 or so years from now.

6. DJ Vlad Calls Out Drake and DJ Khaled For Silence Over the Israel-Palestine Conflict
DJ Vlad decided to create false drama by calling out Drake and DJ Khaled for not publicly opining over the Israel-Palestine conflict. DJ Vlad called out music’s cool kids Drake, who is Jewish, and DJ Khaled, who is Palestinian, for not speaking up over the Israel-Palestine conflict. “Has anyone noticed that the most famous Jewish person on Earth, Drake, and the most famous Palestinian person on Earth, DJ Khaled, haven’t said a single thing about the Gaza-Israel conflict?” he questioned. Vlad criticizes Drake for beefing with Joe Budden over his new album “For All the Dogs” rather than giving a political comment on the Middle East dispute. He considered DJ Khaled cowardly for not speaking his mind because “it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans.” They are entertainers, not politicians or world leaders, and they are not obligated to voice their opinions.
