It’s normal to critique red carpet fashion looks, however fashion journal ‘Women’s Wear Daily’ took it a step further by critiquing Jay Z’s face. In almost an ode to the female arm candy at the Met Gala, WWD wrote an article critiquing the men. They weren’t too nice when it came to Jay Z’s attire, and they also took a moment to go in on his physical appearance.

“The smile lines are becoming too deep. A bit of filler would do wonders. Maybe he can reach out to his wife’s dermatologist. The double-breasted peak-label blazer is an elegant choice however, he seems to have gained some weight-it’s pulling in all the wrong places.”

They also said his carnation should have been red to tie in with the China theme. Ouch! Leave Jay alone! Well Beyonce shined enough for both of them, as they arrived late and she shut down the carpet.

Ja Rule’s Appearance On Fox Business Brings On Ridicule

Fox Business recently invited Ja Rule to the show to discuss his new credit card venture with Magnises on national TV. They also asked him to discuss the Baltimore riots, and the 2016 Presidential election. It seems as if fans or those who watch Fox weren’t expecting to see Ja be the one to discuss these topics. They weren’t too receptive to it either LOL.

And………ESPN’s Bomani Jones has no chill.

Kelly, and others to have their Q&A sessions turn into cruel online “shadefests”. Some of her true fans asked questions about her music while others joined the conversation with jokes about her failed relationships, poor album sales and anything else that could be hurtful. Dang CiCi.
