Gossip: Rob Kardashian And Blac Chyna Custody Battle Heats Up; ‘Borderline Abusive’ Mariah Carey Slammed By Co-Star

Even though Rob and Chyna broke up somewhat quietly, the custody battle seems to be bringing out the worst in each other, and it seems Rob might want to bring that into the custody trial.

A source told Radar, “He’s sick of her flaunting her assets all over social media. Rob’s concerned how her misbehaving will affect their daughter, and what kind of people she’s exposing her to.”

Apparently, Chyna’s partying doesn’t sit well with him. The source said, “He’s warned her to quit partying, but Chyna’s ignored him completely.”

‘Borderline Abusive’ Mariah Carey Slammed By Co-Star

One day after Will Ferrell appeared on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and talked about Carey’s behavior on set of his new movie, The House, co-star Yarbrough wrote on Facebook Wednesday evening that Carey “ruined” her cameo, which has since been cut from the film.

“Okay since Will Ferrell is talking, I’ma talk-ing. Yeah, a real funny cameo was SUPPOSED to happen in the new film #TheHouse with the superstar Mariah Carey. But it was ruined by superstar Mariah Carey. The film takes place in a suburban home but is made into a ‘Casino’. Why not have Mariah be an act in the casino? Funny idea,” Yarbrough explained. “It’s rumored that she eventually showed up to set. This is true. But after waiting for her for three to four hours!”

“While we waited the director & team had the idea of doing a stunt that Mariah’s body double would do now & bring in Mariah to match it. They do the stunt. All goes well. When Mariah finally showed up she refused to match the stunt. ‘Darling, I would never do it that way…’. I heard her say those exact words,” he recalled. “She then requested a large fan for her hair to be blown around and a camera that would be above her, basically a crane shot.

“This lady was unprofessional & borderline abusive to our director, who tried his best to appease her every wish.”

Yarbrough, 44, used his Facebook rant to teach Carey — and up-and-coming actors — a lesson, one he hopes Carey will take to heart.

“In the acting community, it’s not very good form to ‘tell’ on your fellow actors. They could be having a bad day, going through some personal things, & maybe Mariah was, I don’t know. But I do know that our crew didn’t deserve that, our director didn’t,” he wrote, noting he had just finished filming “Speechless” for 10 hours. But “This kind of behavior just isn’t cool.”

“For you young actors, be on time, know your homework, but be courteous and respectful. For us old heads, the same,” he advised. “This kind of behavior should be called out for what it is. I miss ‘I had a vision of love’ Mariah. Be a damn professional.”

Poll: Three-Quarters Of Americans Want Trump To Leave Marijuana Alone

Most American citizens want President Donald Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to keep their noses out of state marijuana laws, according to a new poll from Survey USA.

The poll, which was commissioned by the national cannabis advocacy group Marijuana Majority, found a whopping 76 percent of the adults living in the United States want the Trump administration to respect state marijuana laws. This marks the strongest showing of support for legal weed since a Quinnipiac poll (73 percent) was published earlier this year.

As it stands, more than half the nation has legalized the leaf in some form or fashion. Nearly 30 states have made it legal for people to use marijuana for medicinal purposes, while another nine jurisdictions have moved to end pot prohibition altogether. Yet, despite increasing support for marijuana reform in all parts of the country, the Trump administration has given some indication that it may no longer allow it to continue.

It was revealed in the spring that Sessions had assembled a violent crime task force to conduct a review of federal policy pertaining to marijuana. There is speculation that the outcome of this report, which is due on Session’s desk by the end of next month, could lead to a reversal of an Obama-era rule that allows states to experiment with legalization. To make matters worse, Sessions was caught recently trying to persuade Congressional leaders to no longer support the only protection (Rohrabacher-Farr) the cannabis industry has in place to stop the federal government from imposing a crackdown.

“It’s clear that Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration would face a huge backlash from across the political spectrum if they broke the president’s campaign pledge to respect state marijuana policies and started arresting consumers and providers who are following local law,” Tom Angell, founder and chairman of Marijuana Majority, said in a statement. “The more the attorney general threatens to ramp up federal enforcement, the more public opinion seems to harden against his outdated ‘Reefer Madness’ mindset.”

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the poll is it finds that most of the American population no longer cares is professional athletes, journalists or gun owners use marijuana. Across the board, the survey found close to 50 percent support for these people being allowed herbal relief without the risk of repercussions at work or otherwise.

“The other results show that while most voters generally think that cannabis consumers should be able to enjoy the same rights to employment, enjoyment and personal protection as everyone else does, our movement still has some work to do,” Angell said. “The fact is, even when we succeed in removing marijuana criminalization, consumers continue to face discrimination from the private sector and the government, and it seems like a lot of people just aren’t aware of that.”

The latest poll consisted of 1,500 cell and landline calls made between June 19 and 20.

See How Medical Marijuana Helped Treat This Woman’s Trigeminal Neuralgia

If you’re a fan of Buzzfeed and its video department, you probably know of Kelsey Darragh. She is the “loud-mouthed, no-filtered, boss ass, bitch producer,” as she called herself. But Darragh also suffers from Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), a very intense and serious neuropathic pain disorder. It emanates from the Trigeminal Nerve, found within your brain’s center, and transmits sensations from your brain to your face.

TN causes that transmission to malfunction and creates some of the worst pain imaginable. With unbearable pain in the neck, jaw, and face, it is compared to severe burns, childbirth, and a bite of a bullet ant, as Darragh explained. This pain is so debilitating that it’s caused some to take their own lives.

Darragh has sought multiple remedies to alleviate the pain, including expensive surgeries, acupuncture, and botox injections. None have provided resolution.

“I’m at a point in my life and in my pain where I’m willing to try anything,” she said.

This led her to medical marijuana. It was the one option she’d yet to explore. Though she experimented in high school, the plant’s stigma and adverse reactions to being “high,” caused her to stop.

Darragh decided to document her exploration of medical marijuana, learning some essential information like CBD vs. THC, the various ways to consume cannabis (topicals, tinctures, edibles), and how the medical association of the plant is historical and not a recent development.

Check out the video above. It provides valuable information on medical marijuana in a digestible manner.

Pain After Orgasm Is A Thing For These People

Pain After Orgasm Is A Thing For These People

Sex is a complicated process that reverberates throughout our entire nervous system. While physical exhaustion, sleepiness, a little pain, and the overproduction of fluids are normal side effects, some people have reactions that are more severe than the ones experienced by the general population. In fact, for some, the pain after orgasm is so intense it makes them want to avoid sex altogether.

Peri-orgasmic phenomena is the cluster of unusual symptoms people experience after or during an orgasm, which can include severe headaches, foot pain, ear pain, sneezing, laughing, crying and a bunch of random things you would have never associated with sex. While a lot of these symptoms are manageable, some of them have a bigger impact on people and can even make them fear sex. One of the most common side effects is coital cephalgia, which are severe headaches experienced during sexual activity. This condition is divided in two types: Type 1 is the headache that occurs during any kind of sexual activity, and Type 2 is the headache that strikes just before orgasm. I don’t know which one is more frustrating.

Experts theorize that these headaches occur due to built up tension in the neck and jaw, and that victims might find relief in relaxation exercises and muscle relaxants. Coital cephalgia is an interesting and contradictory phenomenon because sex has always been regarded as nature’s ibuprofen, being able to help people get rid of headaches and mild physical pain.

For more intense symptoms like seizures and panic attacks, sex therapists claim that it’s important for patients to discuss this with a neurologist specialized in sexual reactions; someone who can analyze these symptoms in depth and see if there’s anything out of order with the patient’s’ brain wiring. For lighter conditions like sneezing and laughing, a positive and open attitude is always great, and consulting with a sex therapist is can make patients feel more validated and comfortable with their situation.

TFT How To: Make These Soft Pretzels Dosed With THC

Crunchy store pretzels are cool and all, but the soft pretzels that are seemingly boring AF at special events and stadiums are a beautiful thing. Doused with crappy neon cheese sauce, a squirt of mustard, or just as is, they’re nostalgic and always satisfy a craving. Maybe you’re like me and scrape off approximately 30% of the salt. That taste ratio of base-tasting baking soda that helps the outside get so gorgeously brown and crunchy intense salt is the secret part that you can’t skip, because you will end up with bread rolls.

Like bagels, pretzels are boiled in water after shaping to help soak and par-cook the outside. This helps water embed itself in the outer layers of the dough to steam ano cook itself into a crusty, tasty, skin. This is where the salt lives, and this skin also helps trap THC vapors in the bread, so some of it will survive higher baking temps.

Cannabis Soft Pretzels

Danielle Guercio, 2017
Makes 8 pretzels, 5mg THC per pretzel

For pretzel dough:

  • 1 ⅛ th cup warm water
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 Tbs room temperature cannabutter*
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 ¾ tsp yeast
  • 2 Tbs coarse salt

For cooking:

  • 3 qt boiling water
  • ½ cup baking soda

Prep the pretzel dough by mixing all of the ingredients except the coarse salt in a large bowl. You can also use a bread machine on a pizza setting, which will also complete the rise for you so you have extra fluffy pretzels.

If using a bowl make sure to knead with a spatula until some of the stickiness goes away, and oil the dough ball before rising in a the bowl covered with plastic for an hour.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and set the pot of baking soda water to boil. Turn the risen dough out onto a work surface and cut into 8 pieces.

Shaping the dough is super fun and takes a little practice, but after 8 tries, you will have made at least one perfect pretzel. The shape is all appearances because even ugly ones make fabulous snacks and sandwich buns.

Boil each pretzel for 15 seconds on each side and quickly set on a paper towel to drain. Set on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. While it’s damp, sprinkle some of the coarse salt on all sides.

Once you’ve boiled and salted them all, bake for 10 minutes, rotating once. You can go for another 5 for extra brown crust, but they are so yummy either way. Serve warm with mustard.

*Cannabutter

Decarboxylate 3.5g of finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees for 20 minutes in a tightly sealed, oven safe container. Put cannabis in lidded mason jar or vacuum sealed bag with cannabis and one stick of butter. Heat in water bath just under boiling for at least 1 hour. Strain and chill to use in recipes.

Game day snacks and day off indulgent sandwiches just got that much more lit. You won’t be able to eat just one, so keep the dosing on the chill side for the best time. Now we have to hack a cheese sauce to have happy butter in it too.

This Horrifying Shark Attack Will Give You Nightmares

Sharks are scary; that’s a belief registered in our collective unconscious. Even though there are approximately 70 shark attacks a year and your odds of getting attacked by a shark on the beach are about one in 11.5 million, it’s hard not to to be scared when media makes such a big deal out of them. Shark attacks are brutal and terrifying, and they also sell like hotcakes, which is why the Discovery channel dedicates an entire week of their programming to airing the scariest bits of shark footage available. This fear is made even worse during the moments when someone’s holding the camera at the right (or wrong) time. 

Parker Simpson was attacked by a reef shark in this crazy video while diving in the Florida Keys. The footage is made even worse due to his GoPro camera, which makes us feel like we’re underwater with him. The sound of the water, the gushing blood contrasted with the blue of the sea, and the torn leg make the video look like a virtual reality experience. We dare you to watch this on a large TV screen with the lights turned off.

The unlucky diver created a GoFundMe page to help out with the costs of the surgery and where he explains in much more gory detail what happened during the attack. Thankfully, he survived due to his diving buddy who was trained in first aid and who saved his life.

How Do You Know If You Have Synthetic Marijuana?

How Do You Know If You Have Synthetic Marijuana?

Synthetic marijuana is a dangerous product that can kill you. It’s basically a mixture of chemicals used to recreate the effect of the marijuana plant and get people high. This product aims to give the user the feeling of being high without possessing natural cannabinoids, which are the natural chemicals in the marijuana plant that interact with our endocannabinoid system and produce positive and soothing results.

It’s common for the human body to get confused when consuming synthetic cannabis, which can lead to dangerous results and produce unpredictable behavior. Synthetic cannabis is hard to find since it can take many different forms. It can be sprayed or laced onto natural cannabis, so you must always be on the look out and listen to your body if you start feeling strange or intoxicated.

The use of these different chemicals can cause seizures, severe paranoia, hallucinations and violent reactions. The only way to avoid synthetic cannabis is to trust the person who’s selling you marijuana. Ask them about their product and get recommendations of them from other buyers and friends. Most importantly, don’t buy weed off of strangers. If you live in a state where marijuana is legal then be sure to use this to your advantage, gather all the information you can, and spend some money on quality products from dispensaries.

Gossip: Uber For Escorts Makes Finding Fun More Efficient; Whitney Port Not Having Sex While Pregnant

Do you need to hire an escort but you’re not sure where to look? Are the M4M pages of Craigslist a little too sketchy for you? Are you low on cash but you’ve got space on your credit card?

Rendevu is a new app specifically for escorts and their customers. Widely considered the “Uber for escorts,” it allows sex workers post real time availability, list their prices, and display customer ratings.

The UK-based app also allows clients to book appointments within five minutes–five minutes!–and enter their credit card info to pay for services.

In other words: No more leaving the money on the nightstand.

It’s also being praised for making sex work safer, as the appointment process involves an ID confirmation and all appointments are privately tracked. Once the appointment is over, the data is erased, meaning nobody knows it ever even happened. Clever, no?

“People never think about online security from the point of view of a sex industry worker,” CEO Reuben Coppa told the Daily Mail in a recent interview. “But they arguably need it more than any other professional.”

Rendevu only recently launched but it appears to be on the up and up. It just secured $700,000 in a recent round of funding, making it the only funded app in its niche.

“We’re a technology company entering adult services, not the other way around,” says Coppa. “This gives us a unique perspective on the industry and helps us solve safety, efficiency and usability issues effectively.”

Whitney Port Not Having Sex While Pregnant

Pressing pause! Whitney Port admitted that being pregnant has placed a hiatus on her sex life with husband Tim Rosenman.

While appearing as a guest on The Ladygang podcast, the 32-year-old reality star revealed that being intimate while pregnant “is so not for me.”

The Hills alum also opened up about feeling insecure during her pregnancy. “I feel so uncomfortable with my body that I can’t get into the mood,” she elaborated on the Tuesday, June 20 episode. “Like, I can’t feel sexy.”

While Port disclosed that she and Rosenman do “other things” in the bedroom, they pulled the plug on the lovemaking “once the belly really started happening.”

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Pay Gap Is A Giant Misunderstanding

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman Pay Gap Is A Giant Misunderstanding

We need to stop assuming everything we read in a headline as truth. Otherwise it leads to wild misunderstandings posing as (don’t say alternative facts) facts. You perhaps read the viral Elle article that posited Gal Gadot earned just $300,000 for playing Wonder Woman while Henry Cavill received $14 million for Man of Steel. “The most compelling DC villain is the pay gap,” wrote Lauren Duca in a since-deleted tweet.

While it’s easy to believe that wage gap in Hollywood, the stat itself doesn’t hold up. That Cavill made $14 million remains unverifiable. Meanwhile, Gadot’s $300,000 figures appears to be a base salary she signed with Warner Bros. for three films—Batman v. Superman, Wonder Woman, and the upcoming Justice League.

In addition, that $300,000 is the same salary given to Chris Evans for the first Captain America movie and more than what some of his Avengers teammates made in their first team-up. While Gadot is assuredly an A-list title thanks to Wonder Woman’s success, her biggest role beforehand was as a Fast and Furious supporting character.

Hollywood has established the following strategy for paying actors in superhero films: identify unproven talent, pay them low base salary, then incentivize them with box-office rewards if they succeed. Cavill’s dubious $14 million figure would come primarily on the backend then. In other words, no way he received a $14 million paycheck to play Superman.

Via Vulture:

Contrary to reports, Gadot’s Batman v. Superman costar Henry Cavill didn’t make anywhere near $14 million to play Superman in Man of Steel, an eye-popping figure that makes Gadot’s paycheck seem paltry in comparison. […] Were it true, it would be evidence of a sexist double standard, but a source tells me that the relatively unknown Cavill made a six-figure paycheck comparable to Gadot’s for Man of Steel and that his co-star Amy Adams, a much bigger name, pulled in seven figures to play his Lois Lane.

But you shouldn’t worry about Gadot. Her massive payday is coming. As mentioned above the Justice League movie will end her three-movie deal. With plans of Wonder Woman 2 already discussed, she can negotiate a contract she’s proven to be worth now.

Who Is Going To Finish Directing the Han Solo Movie?

Who Is Going To Finish Directing the Han Solo Movie?

Phil Lord and Chris Miller create subversive, referential films that often poke fun at conventional Hollywood notions. Their movies always remind you that you’re watching a movie. Lord and Miller are visionary directives with a distinctive voice, who will maintain their unique perspective regardless of the situation. They did so on 21 Jump Street and a giant studio tentpole like Lego Movie. It appears they were doing the same on the untitled Han Solo anthology film, and Lucasfilm executives weren’t fans. Lord and Miller were fired from directing the movie Tuesday. Reports have surfaced over creative clashes on set between the Lord/Miller duo with producer Kathleen Kennedy, other Lucasfilm team members, and executive producer/screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan.

Here is what Kennedy, who is also president of Lucasfilm, said in a statement: “Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon.”

Meanwhile, a statement from Lord and Miller read: “Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew.”

So just what the hell is going on here? The film has been shooting since February in London and was reportedly weeks away from finishing. Reshoots were already scheduled for later this summer, as is expected with a giant action movie like this one, but it remains highly suspicious and perplexing just why Lord and Miller were fired.

A Variety source says Kennedy and Kasdan did not agree with how Lord and Miller engaged with cast and crew. Their shooting style and process were not in line with what the studio expected. As the source said, “It was a culture clash from day one. [Kennedy] didn’t even like the way they folded their socks.” Also adding: “They weren’t given the leeway to do what they had to do.”

Kasdan has been an integral member of the Star Wars and Lucasfilm family since the 1980s, when he received screenwriting credits for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He was brought on the JJ Abrams-directed Force Awakens reboot to reshape the classic Star Wars tone. He too criticized the Lord/Miller production way.

“Kathy, her team, and Larry Kasdan have been doing it their way for a very long time. They know how the cheese is made and that’s how they want it made,” said the Variety source. “It became a very polarizing set.”

Fans will remember a similarly murky production followed Rogue One. Veteran screenwriter Tony Gilroy was brought on late to punch up the screenplay and reportedly oversaw extensive reshoots of the film. A spokesperson said he will not take over directing duties. Two other potentials include Ron Howard, who declined comment, and Captain America director Joe Johnston. Nothing remains confirmed at this time.

The most interesting part of the Variety report is this section, which implicates Kennedy as a problematic force:

Some insiders believe that while Kennedy wants to make a splash by hiring young indie directors such as Gareth Edwards (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) and Rian Johnson (“Star Wars: The Last Jedi”), she’s ultimately unwilling to empower them to make their own creative decisions.

Unlike Edwards and Johnson, Miller and Lord felt they had earned their stripes, having worked extensively in the major studio system.

Who knows what this means. This is not Lucasfilm firing Josh Trank, whose erratic behavior on Fantastic Four led to his own demise. There remains more to this story we aren’t currently aware. Hopefully we’ll learn more information soon.
