Rapper GloRilla clapped back on X (Twitter) after fans said a woman’s “ugly” makeover looked just like her.

The woman posted before and after images of her total makeover – including hair and makeup.

Followers said the woman’s makeover was “ugly” and she now looked like the rapper GloRilla.

One fan wrote that the woman should “charge the makeup artist with assault.”

Another fan wrote: “[Not going to lie] i saw this and said ‘get em glo!’.”

It’s a known fact that GloRilla is self-conscious about her looks. She goes to extremes to be accepted by her fans who have unrealistic standards of beauty.

GloRilla went viral last October when her former makeup artist shared unflattering video of her old makeup session.

“Tell them stop playing with me, going off the ugly ass motherf***ing makeup video, acting like I don’t show my motherf***ing bareface every day. B*tch, what’s up?” Glo said in an Instagram Live.

“No disrespect to the girl. It really is disrespect because you know you’re not supposed to upload the ugly ass video anyway, but shout out to her,” Glo added. “She probably got better after two years or whatever, but don’t upload no picture and you know that makeup weren’t cute. Got these people playing with my motherf***ing face.”

Mia Love, First Black Republican Woman to Serve in Congress, Dies of Brain Cancer at 49

First Black Republican Congresswoman Mia Love has died after a three-year battle with brain cancer. She was 49.

Love served as the U.S. representative for Utah’s 4th congressional district from 2015 to 2019. The former flight attendant moved to Utah in 1998 and became a member of the Mormon Church.

In February 2022, Love was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. Doctors predicted she had 10 to 15 months to live.

Love had surgery to remove 95% of the tumor and she underwent chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. By August 2023, the tumor showed signs of shrinking.

On March 1, 2025, Love’s daughter Abigale Love announced on social media that the treatments were no longer effective, and the family was moving “from treatment to enjoying [their] remaining time with her”.

On Sunday, March 23, her daughter announced Love’s passing.

“Love Family: With grateful hearts filled to overflowing for the profound influence of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she passed away peacefully today,” read the statement on X/Twitter.

“She was in her home surrounded by family. In the midst of a celebration of her life and an avalanche of happy memories, Mia quietly slipped the bands of mortality and, as her words and vision always did, soared heavenward. We are thankful for the many good wishes, prayers and condolences. We are taking some time as a family and will provide information about funeral services and a public celebration of her life in the days to come.”

Love is survived by her husband Jason Love and their three children.

The American Cancer Society recently announced that while cancer death rates have dropped 34% between 1991 and 2022, people below age 50 are seeing higher rates of cancer deaths.

Doctors have concerns about rising rates of brain, colon, breast, and cervical cancers among people age 50 and under.

Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among children and adolescents.

In 2025, the American Cancer Society estimates that over 15,000 children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer, and that 1,050 children and 600 adolescents will die.

Doctors are scrambling to find the cause behind the frightening increase in cancers among people age 50 and under.

Tiger Woods and Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife Vanessa Trump are off the market

Golf legend Tiger Woods officially announced he is dating Donald Trump Jr‘s ex-wife and President Donald Trump’s ex-daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump.

Tiger, 49, and Vanessa, 47, reportedly met in late 2024.

Tiger made the announcement in a post on X/Twitter on Sunday after the mainstream news media ignored rumors of their relationship for weeks.

The golf icon shared images of him and Vanessa posing together.

Tiger captioned the images: “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

That last sentence drew scorn and ridicule.

Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, called Tiger “ridiculous” for asking for privacy.

“Tiger asking for privacy for dating Don Jr ex wife is an all time ridiculous request,” Dave wrote.

A fan wrote: “You ask for privacy while posting to your 6 million followers.”

Among the first people to offer their congratulations was Donald Trump Jr’s sister Ivanka Trump, formerly Vanessa’s sister-in-law.

Ivanka commented on the post “So happy for you both” while adding a number of emojis with love hearts.

Vanessa and Don Jr. share five children – Kai, Chloe, Donald III, Tristan, and Spencer.

Their eldest daughter Kai Trump, 17, attends a $38,000-a-year private school with Tiger’s children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17.

Tiger and his future stepdaughter Kai (left) attended The Genesis Invitational 2025 golf tournament on February 16, 2025 in La Jolla, California.

Kai is also a talented high school golfer.

Tiger shares his son and daughter with a former nanny, Elin Nordegren. They divorced in 2010 after she chased him with a golf club and he crashed his SUV into a tree trying to escape her fury. They fought over his rampant cheating.

Tiger also dated Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn from 2013 to 2015. His last known relationship was with his former restaurant manager Erica Herman.

After Tiger and Erica broke up in 2023, she refused to leave his Florida mansion. So he tricked her into leaving under the guise of going on a “short vacation.”

Erica packed her bag and agreed to meet Tiger at an airport. But instead of meeting Tiger at his private jet, his lawyer met Erica and told her the locks at Tiger’s Jupiter, Florida mansion had been changed and she was officially evicted.

Jayden Daniels’ mom sits between him and USC basketball player JuJu Watkins

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and his mom, Regina Jackson, went viral after she sat between her son and a potential gold digger.

In January I told you that Regina is wary of gold diggers trying to sink their hooks into her son.

Regina manages every aspect of Jayden’s life – including his personal life.

Last year, she became a licensed sports agent to represent Jayden in contract negotiations to keep his money in the family.

Regina watches Jayden like a hawk. So when a gold digger approaches him, Regina steps in and shuts that down.

Recently, Jayden and USC women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins sat together at the NCAA Women’s basketball tournament. USC won easily in the first round over UNC Greensboro, so JuJu had the day off.

A video clip of the pair chatting went viral on social media, sparking speculation that they are dating. X users asked, “Where is Regina?”

Within minutes, Regina appeared and sat between the two sports stars, breaking up any chance of a budding romance between the two. See video below.

For those who aren’t familiar with JuJu, sports writers constantly compare her to Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark.

They tried comparing Caitlin to Chicago Sky player Angel Reese and Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson, but that didn’t work. So now sports writers are comparing Caitlin to JuJu, who is just a sophomore in college.

JuJu may have good basketball skills but she’s not in the same league with Caitlin -literally and figuratively.

Gayle King Furious Over CBS Downgrade: ‘This is the Final Insult. She’s Ready to Walk’

“CBS Mornings” co-anchor Gayle King is set to fly to outer space next month, but she may not have a job to come back to when she returns to Earth.

Rumors are swirling that CBS and Gayle have reached a crossroads in her 14-year career as a news anchor at the network.

Gayle, 70. is upset after CBS moved her fancy set in Times Square to its former home at CBS Broadcast Center on West 57th Street.

Gayle and her co-anchors formerly aired their morning show from a luxury office at 1515 Broadway in Times Square.

MEGA/WENN

“Gayle is livid. She sees this as a personal attack,” RadarOnline reports. “She only signed a one-year extension, and this was not part of the deal.”

Other sources claim King was “blindsided” by the downgrade, which she interprets as the network cutting costs.

“She made it very clear — she’s not going to be shoved into some dingy little room,” one insider explained. “She expects the same level of comfort and prestige she had at 1515 Broadway. No exceptions.”

“This is the final insult. Gayle is done putting up with this,” a second source claimed. “She’s got Oprah in her corner, she has options, and she’s not afraid to use them.”

The downgrade comes as CBS’s parent company, Paramount, faces a potential $28 billion acquisition by Skydance Media. To make that acquisition happen, Paramount executives are scrambling to cut $500 million in expenses.

That includes cutting Gayle’s hefty salary of $12 million annually. Gayle’s salary makes her one of the highest paid news anchors in the business. She’s also one of the oldest female news anchor in the business.

WENN.com

Gayle earned just $25,000 as a correspondent on her best friend Oprah‘s The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1991.

Before joining CBS News, Gayle was a special correspondent for Good Morning America.

Gayle’s starting salary at CBS in 2011 was $2 million a year.

Gayle is a fan favorite who has grown with her audience. News shows know that their audience demographic is older. That’s why commercials are loaded with products for the older generation, such as erectile dysfunction drugs, denture cleaners, urine incontinence diapers, etc.

However, sources say the new owners of CBS are looking to attract more younger viewers – which means Gayle’s days on the “CBS Mornings” set are numbered.

Video shows Houston rapper Sauce Walka and his artist moments before they were shot in Memphis

Houston, Texas rapper Sauce Walka (left), real name Albert Mondane, was shot and wounded in Memphis, Tennessee on Saturday. His artist, Sayso P (right), was killed in the shooting.

Walka and his artist were shopping in downtown Memphis when the incident happened. The two men live-streamed a video showing their location in Memphis moments before they were shot.

In the video they held designer bags stuffed with cash and they wore diamond chip chains around their necks.

Moments later, the men left a store, and a car pulled alongside their SUV. Multiple shots rang out striking the two rappers.

Walka is currently in stable condition at a local hospital, but his artist didn’t make it.

Walka’s fans say he didn’t “check in” when he and his artist arrived in Memphis. Checking in is considered a common courtesy extended to local gang bangers by rappers or athletes visiting unfamiliar territory.

Sometimes out-of-state visitors are required to pay the local gang for protection while in town.

Local authorities consider checking in to be a form of extortion. Multiple rappers have been killed over the years in various cities for failing to check in.

Walka, 34, is best known for a Drake diss song titled “Wack 2 Wack.” He also collaborated with various rappers such as A$AP Rocky, Bun B, Chief Keef, Migos, Slim Thug, Travis Scott, and more.

R&B singer Ciara supported her husband Russell Wilson with a 4-word Instagram post amid the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback drama.

Ciara, 39, showed support for Russell, who is currently searching for an NFL team to call home.

MEGA/WENN

The mom-of-four shared an image of her and Russ in her Instagram story. “Me and my boo,” she wrote in the caption.

Ciara recently announced the release date of her new single “Ecstasy” ft. rapper Tyga. The song is set for release on April 4.

Russell, 36, is soon to be unemployed if another NFL team doesn’t sign him in free agency. His salary demands have decreased dramatically to just $5 million for a one-year contract.

MEGA/WENN

According to Sports Illustrated, it looks less likely that Russell will return as the Steelers starting quarterback in 2025.

That means Ciara will have to work a little harder to support their family of 6.

SI claims Russell’s chances look slim after it was revealed that the Steelers were in negotiations with 41-year-old veteran QB Aaron Rodgers.

MEGA/WENN

Ciara probably hopes Russell signs to a new team because many say he’s the reason she’s still relevant.

The former Rocawear model began dating Russell in early 2015. They were married on July 6, 2016 in a castle in Cheshire, England.

The book launch will kick off in Washington, D.C. on April 30 with stops in Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Toronto, Chicago, Brooklyn, and London. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will moderate the event in Washington, DC.

The former first lady, 61, will sit down with Knowles and take questions from the audience.

“I’m still pinching myself that our Forever First Lady @michelleobama is kicking it off with me,” wrote Knowles about her close friend, while adding, “more fabulous moderator news is coming soon!”

She continued: “I can not wait to share my story in hopes of inspiring you to explore your own journey.”

So far, no moderator has been announced for the other cities on the tour.

Pop star Beyoncé, 43, praised her mom in a post on social media. Bey will launch her own tour in April in support of her Cowboy Carter album.

“Mama, I couldn’t be prouder. My love for you goes beyond what I can say. You put your heart into this book,” she wrote. “I’m happy for you to share some of the stories that shaped you into who you are. To know you is to love you. But please don’t spill too much Mama Tea.”

According to a synopsis, Matriarch documents Knowles’ life as a “precocious, if unruly, little girl” from Galveston, Texas, and her journey through “grief and tragedy, creative and romantic risks and turmoil, the nurturing of superstar offspring and of her own special gifts.”

Knowles is also mom to R&B singer Solange Knowles, 38, and “bonus daughter,” Kelly Rowland, 44. Knowles’ ex-husband (Beyoncé and Solange’s dad) Mathew Knowles is Rowland’s father.

MEGA/WENN

“I can’t wait til everyone gets their hands on it!” Rowland posted on Instagram. “They will be inspired, they will connect, they will laugh, they will def shed some tears, and bond with you over the intimate details you have shared! I’m so proud of you!”

Two weeks ago former En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson went viral after she announced she had been living in her car for three years.

The former singer said her living arrangement was by choice and she didn’t want any handouts.

In a new statement on Friday, Dawn admits she stretched the truth a little bit.

Dawn tells People magazine that she chose to lie about her “car life” to warn others not to donate to fake fundraisers.

“Sometimes in life, we end up in situations that we weren’t expecting,” she said. “There’s something we need to learn or teach, but we’re too afraid to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to do it — so the universe does it for us! During this growth period, we either learn to trust ourselves or give in to fear and fail.”

She continued: “I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I am temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery.”

“I took a risk and jumped headfirst into this lifestyle, and WOW, what a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride it’s been. For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected.”

Fans are disappointed that Dawn lied to them for clout and attention, but they are glad that she’s not homeless.

Dawn was a founding member of En Vogue, the Grammy-nominated group that also consisted of singers Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, and Maxine Jones.

The platinum-selling group is best known for their No. 2 hit singles “Hold On” and “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)”, as well as the top 10 hits “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” and “Free Your Mind”.

Dawn also performed as the lead singer of Lucy Pearl before leaving to go solo.
