Barbie's Got a New Bod!

Welcome to 2016 Barbie!

Don't worry, classic Barbie with her iconic body is still part of the lineup, but the company has added three body types including; a tall Barbie, a curvy Barbie and a Petit Barbie. (She's so cute!)

Mattel has also announced the addition of many new skin tones and hairstyles amounting to 23 total new dolls.

There has been pressure for the company to update Barbie's unrealistic looks for quite some time. Critics thought that she should look a bit more like the little girls who love her. After years of research, Mattel is finally answering the call. They've even given Barbie flatter feet.

The brand new dolls hit stores March 1st and I must admit I'm a bit jealous MY Barbie's didn't look like this.

Game Puts His Money Where His Mouth Is

The Game is not an "all talk, no action" type of guy.

The Game has pledged to donate $ 1 million to Flint, Michigan for water. $500,000 has been given from his own pocket (the fruit of most of his current tour), and the other half has been promised by Avita Water.

The rapper chastised fellow celebrities for making "pledges" that never really come through. His first shipment is slated to arrive today, and something tells me that what Game says, goes. He even called out Jimmy Fallon and Madonna for their "cute" donations of only $10,000. 

A regular on the charity scene, the Michigan water crisis hits close to home as The Game has family living in Flint. 

Always one to showboat, Game posted a screen shot of his wire transfer of $500,000 to Avita. He, of course, failed to blur his $13 million + dollar balance.

Driving while...

Forget texting. This Michigan man was driving while...well, you'll see.

According to reports, a 58-year-old man who died in a Detroit car crash over the weekend, was not wearing pants or a seatbelt when he crashed. Turns out he was also watching porn. 

He lost control of his Toyota, was thrown from the vehicle, and died on the scene.

Lt. Mike Shaw claims that this was the strangest reason for a wreck that he has ever seen.

"We see people putting on makeup. We see people doing different things as far as hygiene, as far as reading books. There's so much technology out there. A lot of people are more paying attention to what they're doing other than driving their cars."

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Stacey Who?

Gabrielle Union fired some return shots at Stacey Dash, and they were right on target.

When asked her opinion of Dash's recent comments, Union replied, "Who's Stacey Dash? Is she related to Dame Dash? I heard of a crazy lady once...But I don't know what her name is."

Whoo! 

Union's comments came after an always vocal Dash made comments last week suggesting black institutions like BET and the Image Awards should be done away with.

Gabrielle feels that minority award shows focus on groups that are not necessarily highlighted in the everyday mainstream. She even cited The Country Music Awards as an example.

Smart lady.

Bieb's Wins Worst Interview Award!

Well not like an official award...but Chelsea Handler has named Bieber has her worst Chelsea Lately interview. Ever.

In a recent interview with Variety, Handler claims that the pop star arrived late and was overly flirtatious. She even went as far as to say the singer made her "feel like a child molester". 

True to form Bieber. 

Handler has a new show on Netflix on which she tackles issues like race in America, all still in her unique Chelsea way. I personally can't wait.

You'll Never Guess Who Blac Chyna's New Boo Is!

Never a dull moment in Kardashian land! The newest rumor is....Rob Kardashian dating Blac Chyna?? And little sis Kylie is not happy about it. 

A recent Insta post and delete by Kylie Jenner sparked whispers of the youngest Jenner being upset with her big bro. Jenner posted a picture of a devil with the caption "This is @robkardashian, lol."

Uh oh!

The world was made aware of Rob and Blac's recent time spent together when the former stripper posted a photo of an unnamed male cuddling with her. The photo was captioned "The beginning." This "unnamed male" happened to have the same tattoos Rob has. 

Sources close to the new couple (Can we call them a couple yet?) are reporting that they are "seeing each other", and have been inseparable for the past ten days, but are not boyfriend-girlfriend yet. 

The budding relationship is taboo given the family's history with Blac Chyna. Kim and Chyna were previously very close, until Kylie began dating Chyna's ex, Tyga...whom she has a young child with. 

What a mess.

White Privilege...II

Have y'all heard Macklemore's new song?

In true Macklemore and Ryan Lewis fashion, the duo is tackling some major issues in their new song, "White Privilege II".

With lyrics like, "The culture was never yours to make better. You're Miley. You're Elvis. You're Iggy Azalea," and "We take all we want from Black culture, but will we show up for Black lives?" It is certainly controversial. The former line even sparked a small beef with Iggy. 

Macklemore can personally attest to experiencing white privilege. He famously texted Kendrick Lamar, "You got robbed. I wanted you to win," after beating him out for Best New Artist in 2014.

I personally commend the rapper for actually taking a stance. For having an opinion that may not be the popular one. My only issue...The song is almost NINE MINUTES LONG. NINE MINUTES.

If you've got the time...check out the new song below.
