Gossip: Pepsi Lawyers Silence Kendall Jenner; Jennifer Aniston Snubs Paris Hilton

Kendall Jenner has remained silent on outrage stemming from a controversial Pepsi commercial she headlined, but a source close to the family tells Naughty Gossip that she wants to speak out – but cannot.

“Pepsi lawyers have banned her from saying anything. She cannot put out a statement without them approving it. She cannot do an interview with the companies approval and they want her to shut up,” sources tell NAUGHTY GOSSIP. “Eventually she will say something and Kris is looking at the legal contract to find a way for the subject to be covered on the family REALITY SHOW.”

Kendall turns to momager Kris Jenner, 61, in times of crisis.

“She would have called Kris SO upset and freaking out,” explains the source. “And then Kris would go into mom mode and approach it like, ‘Let’s do something about this, NOW.’ “

Jennifer Aniston Snubs Paris Hilton At Premiere: EXCLUSIVE

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux especially made our hearts go pitter-patter in their sexy black ensems at The Leftovers premiere in LA Tuesday. But Jen wanted nothing to do with Paris Hilton who was attending the premiere with her new boyfriend in the cast.

“Jennifer wanted nothing to do with. She kept a distance but wasn’t rude. Paris just isn’t her thing,” sources tell NAUGHTY GOSSIP. “Jen isn’t into reality stars and keeps her circle of friends very small. Paris has NOT been invited into the circle of friends.”
Paris Hilton and her lover Chris Zylka were basically Ken and Barbie on the red carpet. Seriously, is Chris chiseled or what? Look at that square jaw!

Marijuana Revenue Will Help Pay Teachers In South Dakota

Marijuana Revenue Will Help Pay Teachers In South Dakota

South Dakota, a deep red state with a maverick streak, is battling to reduce its sales taxes. One proposal picking up steam is marijuana legalization.

Proponents of regulating cannabis for adult use are already pushing for a ballot measure to be placed on the 2018 ballot. According to those putting together the measure, the legislation would help pay for teachers’ salaries and school supplies.

“Quit raising my taxes and start taxing this industry we already have in South Dakota,” Melissa Mentele, director of cannabis advocacy group New Approach South Dakota, told the Argus Leader. “We’re going to take something that’s costing our state to prosecute cannabis cases, we’re going to tax cannabis instead and use that money to educate our children.”

The proposed measure would allow state residents to grow five cannabis plants and possess up to one ounce of dried flower without fear of arrest.

But the idea is not getting a warm welcome among state Republicans and law enforcement agencies.

“Never. Absolutely not,” South Dakota House Speaker Mark Mickelson (R-Sioux Falls) told the Argus Leader. “Tax yourself for something you need, don’t tax someone else for their path to destruction.”

South Dakota is not alone in its desire to allocate revenue from cannabis to education.

  • In Colorado, the first $40 million collected each year goes to the state’s Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) fund, which goes to school construction projects. The state Department of Education also receives funding (more than $8 million last year) for various initiatives, including programs to reduce illiteracy, anti-bullying and the dropout rate.
  • Oregon’s law distributes 40 percent of marijuana tax revenue to the state’s Common School Fund, by far the largest beneficiary.
  • Nearly all of Washington’s cannabis revenues goes directly to the general fund, where it is then disbursed to programs, including education initiatives. There is a debate among the state legislators to divert some of the revenue directly to the schools. “I believe marijuana dollars should go into education,” said Republican state Sen. Ann Rivers, who is member of a special task force focused on the education budget.

Beyoncé Is Officially Better At Giving Anniversary Gifts Than You

Beyoncé Is Officially Better At Giving Anniversary Gifts Than You

Beyoncé is better than you at a lot of things. She’s a better singer, a better dancer, a better friend, a better mom, a better overall person than many of us ever hope to be. I bet she’s even better at crafting ledes for internet content than I am.

This is a truth I accept unequivocally. There is now another achievement to add to the list: Beyoncé is all better at giving anniversary gifts than you.

Tuesday marks the ninth anniversary between Beyoncé and Jay Z and she uploaded an altered video of 2015’s “Die With You.” The new video includes more behind-the-scenes footage of her pregnancy shoot and Mom Bey playing with Blue Ivy.

https://twitter.com/beyceipts/status/849327718466506752

In addition, Beyoncé also curated a 63-song playlist titled “IV EVER EVER” that will take you nearly five hours to get through. The playlist is widely varied (even more so than Drake’s new idiosyncratic “playlist”) and includes tracks from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Anita Baker, OutKast, Frank Ocean, and more. This perhaps is Beyoncé’s greatest gift: helping provide some positive publicity and public interest in Jay’s streaming service.

That’s right. Both the video and playlist are Tidal exclusives, so you’ll have to cough up some money or burn that free trial if you want to enjoy. Then again, it is Beyoncé we’re talking here, so you know it’s worth it.

Is This Dog Pooper Scooper Drone For Real Or Just A Dream?

Is This Dog Pooper Scooper Drone For Real Or Just A Dream?

It’s springtime. Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and flying dog shit detectors are in the air. Can a drone be a pooper scooper too?

That was the concept that Dutch company Tinki.nl and drone makers Space53 tried to pass off as sane and reasonable with their elaborate Dogdrones prank. Stay vigilant, everyone, as April Fools jokes now apparently last from late March into early April.

Several news outlets reported on the drones as being a real possibility, as if flying poop patrol was the solution to our dog turd woes.

To be fair, the concept is pretty convincing, if not totally ridiculous. They created a pretty slick website complete with videos, infographics, and statistics about dog poo. They outline how the drone would work: Using camera and thermal imaging to detect the steamy pile, the drone would work together with a ground-based scooper, communicating to collect it so you don’t have to.

They wrote about their valiant cause on their website:

A lot of dog owners properly dispose of their dog’s poo, but a lot of owners do not. That is not only disgusting and annoying, but also a great danger of infection. Dog poo contains bacteria, viruses, parasites and worms that are especially harmful for children. Adults and other dogs are at risk, as well. Parasite eggs can survive for years and result in a danger of infection if dog poo is not properly disposed.

They also called for volunteer drone pilots to help give their bizarre vision wings. Seventy-five people signed up to be pilots, either falling for the trick or being just curious enough to add their names to the list. Those would-be shit pilots will certainly be let down that this was all a hoax.

Twitter users are giving a major side-eye to this giant snack and calling Cheeto dusted shenanigans, saying they can clearly see where several Cheetos have been stuck together.

Are Your Period Cramps Killing You? Meet Livia, An ‘Off-Switch’ For The Pain

All women are familiar with the dread that comes when that time of the month is near. You know what we’re talking about. There are different degrees of period cramps and pain, but even if your period is super chill and not that impairing, it still sucks. 

With Livia, you can get rid of all those pills and heating pads because this device acts as an “off-switch” for period pains and cramps, providing instant and drug-free relief. This magic happens due to Livia’s ability to stimulate nerves making the pain go away before you can even feel it, all in a natural and safe way. Livia is easy to use and it consists of two small sticky pads and a device that’s in charge of emitting the necessary vibrations for your pain to stop. Livia’s methodology is based on the “gate control theory” and it works by attaching the sticky pads to the area of your body that’s in pain and creating a pulse that’ll keep your nerves occupied and unable to process and transmit the pain stimulus to your brain.

Livia’s effects last as long as you’re wearing it and, unlike pills, your body won’t develop a tolerance. The device’s battery lasts about 15 hours and is rechargeable, small and discreet, which means that you can carry it around everywhere and use it on the go.

Livia is a startup so if you think that this project is worth your money you can back them on their indiegogo page. If you’re still unconvinced, you can watch their video below which explains things further.

OMGhirardelli! Krispy Kreme Just Unveiled Two Limited Edition ‘Luxury’ Chocolate Doughnuts

Not to be outdone by their St. Patrick’s Day stunt, Krispy Kreme is keeping the momentum going by dropping two new doughnuts in partnership with chocolate giant, Ghiradelli: Mint Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel.

Now, you don’t have to chose between fried dough and candy for breakfast. You can have both!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BSRVFT9BKLo

Both doughnuts are inspired by Ghiradelli’s popular chocolate squares. The Sea Salt Caramel doughnut is filled with salted caramel filling, dipped in chocolate icing, drizzled with both the chocolate and caramel icings, and topped with a blend of amber sugar, salt sprinkle, and Ghirardelli mini chocolate chips.

The Mint Chocolate doughnut is  filled with “White Mint Kreme™” filling, dipped in chocolate icing, decorated with green icing (the true sign of mint) and topped with Ghirardelli mini chocolate chips dusted in powdered sugar. The icing on both doughnuts is made with Ghiradelli.

The bummer news about these two new flavors is that they’re available for a limited time only.

In other parts of the world, lucky Krispy Kremers are treated to candy bar flavors like Kit Kat:

Inside The Real Estate Boom, Powered By Legal Marijuana

Inside The Real Estate Boom, Powered By Legal Marijuana

As legal marijuana continues to gain traction, it’s bringing another economic force up with it: The next real estate heyday.

The New York Times calls it a “real estate boom, powered by pot.”

Commercial real estate developers say they have never seen a change so swift in so many places at once. From Monterey, Calif., to Portland, Me., the new industry is reshaping once-blighted neighborhoods and sending property values soaring. In some Denver neighborhoods, the average asking lease price for warehouse space jumped by more than 50 percent from 2010 to 2015, according to an industry report. In the city over all, there are five times as many retail pot stores as stand-alone Starbucks shops.

“This is a new segment of the industrial real estate market that is being created in front of our eyes,” real estate executive George M. Stone told the New York Times. “It’s a huge industry and only getting bigger.”

So far, legal weed seems like a win-win for everyone involved, from tenant to landlord. Owners can charge growers above-market for warehouses that require little maintenance, landlords can sublease these fixtures out, and growers can sell all the weed they can grow and afford the higher rent. Instead of dilapidated buildings and factories, community economies get jobs and new businesses — especially since the weed must be grow and sold all within the same state.

There are, of course, risks to this growth: If the federal government steps in to crack down on legal marijuana, all of this investment could be for naught. But for now, cannabis companies and landlords are growing together and reaping the benefits.

Nebraska Seriously Considering Medical Marijuana

Nebraska Seriously Considering Medical Marijuana

Although Nebraska was one of the primary states behind a 2014 lawsuit against Colorado’s legal cannabis trade, state lawmakers are now pushing for legislation aimed at legalizing a basic medical marijuana program.


A bill introduced earlier this year by State Senator Anna Wishart called the “Medical Cannabis Act” is being given some serious consideration in the halls of the Nebraska Legislature. The proposal would allow patients suffering from a variety of health issues, including glaucoma and muscle spasms, to have access to certain cannabis products. The bill would not, however, permit patients to smoke marijuana or engage in home cultivation.

The Medical Cannabis Act made its way out of committee last month and now heads to the Senate floor for another round of debates. Although the proposal comes with the usual opposition, specifically the Nebraska State Patrol, Wishart says she is “optimistic that members will listen to their constituents who are desperately asking them to legalize this form of treatment,” according to a report from the Omaha World Herald.

If the proposal goes the distance, making its way through the legislative grind and signed into law by Governor Pete Ricketts, the state’s medical marijuana program would be launched in the summer of 2018 – being overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services. It is this agency that would be responsible for establishing the patient registry, which would only be made available to those patients with a recommendation from a state licensed physician. From that point, qualified participants would be allowed to purchase pills, liquids, oils and vapors from their neighborhood dispensary.


The non-smoking medical marijuana model is becoming increasing more popular all across the United States. Both Minnesota and New York do not permit smoking as part of their respective medical marijuana programs, although there is a bit of a legislative push this year to give patients the freedom to consume their medicine in any manner they see fit.

But the problem with the no smoking plan, as we have seen in both Minnesota and New York, is high production costs for pills and oils is so expensive that it drives up the overall price for patients – many of which are on disability and/or a fixed income. Some patients have reported spending in upwards of $2,000 per month on these types of products.

What makes the situation even worse is the medicine purchased under a state medical marijuana program is not covered by insurance. Not to mention, any patient caught trying to save money by growing their own is still subject to harsh criminal penalties, which in some cases can involve prison time.
