LINKS! RIP Nipsey Hussle, Kanye’s Coachella church, Kenya Moore returns…
JEZEBEL – RIP Nipsey Hussle: The Grammy-nominated rapper was shot and killed outside his Los Angeles clothing store yesterday afternoon. The murderer has yet to be apprehended. Nipsey was 33
THE BLEMISH – Kanye is bringing his pseudo-church to Coachella this year. I’m still not sure how it’s different from your standard Kanye performance, other than the fact that there are more celebrity appearances at church (which only proves that even Kanye needs help filling pews)
REALITY TEA – Kenya Moore returned to the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast for the Season 11 finale in an attempt at propping up a generally disappointing season
THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – Here’s a first look at Bravo’s new show Texicanas, which follows the lives of six Mexican-American women in San Antonio. Unlike Bravo’s other reality shows, Texicanas will have just one narrator, a stripper-real estate agent named Penny
DLISTED – The funniest thing about Chris Rock roasting Jussie Smollett at the NAACP Image Awards is the producers initially telling Rock not to make any jokes about Smollett
THE BLAST – Kate Bosworth is being sued for $1 million by a group of Native American filmmakers who claim Bosworth is holding their film hostage
CELEBITCHY – They were together for a year before having a Vegas wedding, but 55-year-old Nicholas Cage and his 35-year-old fourth wife Erika Koike lasted four days before getting their marriage annulled
LAINEY GOSSIP – I didn’t even know there was a Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie coming out, but apparently there is and at least one part of it will haunt your adult dreams the way the books stirred up childhood nightmares
VOX – On the 20th anniversary of its release, here’s an interesting new way to look at The Matrix, one that thankfully has nothing to do with red or blue pills
