Is Tyga Feuding with Celebrity Ex Blac Chyna Over Kylie Jenner’s Ferrari? By Kyanah Murphy Could you imagine feuding with your ex over luxurious cars while flaunting said cars over Instagram? That’s exactly what’s happening with Tyga and his celebrity ex Blac Chyna! According to UsMagazine.com, this fiery, flashy feud began with Tyga and his ex celebrity love when Tyga posted an image of himself on Instagram and Blac Chyna’s best friend, Amber Rose responded with a picture of her pink Ferrari! This, in turn, prompted Tyga to post an image of his own flashy car, a black and gold Bentley. Apparently the heated exchange began due to the fact that Tyga believes Blac Chyna is involved with spreading the rumor that Tyga is leasing Kylie Jenner’s Ferrari rather than having bought it outright. These celebrity exes aren’t happy with each other. What are some ways to keep drama with your ex at bay? Cupid’s Advice: While you may not be feuding over Ferraris like these celebrity exes, you will probably run into your own drama with your ex. Cupid has some dating advice: 1. Know yourself and what will get under your skin: your ex knows what will bother you so hopefully you will too. Your ex may bait you in with things that’ll bother you to start a fight. When you know what bothers you and winds you up, you can better avoid the bait they may lay out for you. Be the bigger person. Related Link: Melissa Etheridge and Ex Tammy Lynn Fight Over Money 2. Set communication boundaries: depending on your situation, you may not be able to cut your ex entirely out of your life. If that’s the case, set yourself boundaries. Don’t answer phone calls from them (let it go to voice mail) and give your ex and yourself a time frame of when to respond when it’s important for you to respond (like if you have kids and it’s about your kids).

Give yourself space: really you shouldn’t be talking to your ex unless absolutely necessary (i.e.

  • Rob Kardashian, His Then-Fiancée Blac Chyna and Their Pregnancy/Newborn Daughter, for One Season
    The Neoliberal Life of the “Failing” Kardashian: Robert Kardashian On (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians Leah Groenewoud (Third year, RLCT/GEND Major) GEND 3076 Dr. Wendy Peters April 5, 2015 Introduction Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) is a reality television show that follows the lives of the Kardashian family – a famous, upper-class Californian family consisting of Kris Jenner (the Kardashians’ mother and business manager), her (now ex-) husband Caitlyn Jenner and their children. Kris’ children include Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian, and Kris and Caitlyn have two younger children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Rob & Chyna is a reality TV spin-off of KUWTK which followed Rob Kardashian, his then-fiancée Blac Chyna and their pregnancy/newborn daughter, for one season. This paper will employ a textual analysis of these two shows to analyze how Robert Kardashian’s life and life choices are portrayed as personal failures. Conversations and information about Rob – in the 12 episodes across 6 seasons of KUWTK, and 6 episodes of season 1 of Rob & Chyna which I studied – are consistently about how Rob must change, and that he is not happy or successful the way he is. Robert Kardashian is consistently portrayed as a failure, which this paper will clarify to mean a neoliberal failure. This paper will analyze the neoliberal logics of the narratives about Robert and the way he lives, including narratives about his health, his (lack of) independence and self-esteem, his marriageability and employability.i I will conclude with an analysis of how KUWTK and Rob & Chyna facilitate a ‘panoptic existence’ for Rob, in which his family, the viewers and even himself surveil and regulate Rob.

Because physical activity is attributed to being a large component of maintaining a healthy weight, this paper analyzes how often celebrities’ posts on Twitter and Instagram refer to physical activity.

  • Theorizing the Anti-Fan
    Beyond the H8R: Theorizing the Anti-Fan “Where‟s the „Dislike‟ Button?” From the benign to the vitriolic, haters are everywhere. One TV critic recently asked, ―Whatever happened to ‗I don‘t like‘?‖(Weeks 2011) Let us consider ―hateration,‖ that is hate as anti-fan activity, on a continuum. On the passive end, if you do not like something on a Facebook friend‘s wall your options are to either comment with your dislike or ignore the posting. Somewhere in the middle of the continuum, celebrity news blogs such as dlisted, mix equal parts adoration and hate in posting, such as acknowledging celebrity birthdays under the heading ―Birthday Sluts.‖ And, at a gathering of friends, a lull in conversation can be enlivened by a round of the party game, ―Kill, Fuck, Marry‖ or naming six celebrities you would like to put on an airplane that is sure to have engine failure and crash. (Those last two are on the vitriolic end, in case that was not clear.) Hate for genre texts, people, events, and objects in popular culture is all around us, yet it continues to be an overlooked sentiment in fan studies. Anti-fans hang about the periphery of fandom, but they are nonetheless part of the fan world. It is not that web 2.0 – the mix of interactivity and online communities – is blind to the existence of dislike nor completely ignores the sentiment. The 2012 Adobe Digital Index Report finds that a little more than half (53%) of consumers surveyed ―said they would very much like to have a ‗dislike‘ button‖ on the social media site Facebook (Lomas 2012).

  • Keeping up with the Kardashians Fame- Work and the Production of Entrepreneurial Sisterhood
    C H A P T E R 11 Keeping Up with the Kardashians Fame- Work and the Production of Entrepreneurial Sisterhood ALICE LEPPERT e Kardashian family vaulted to stardom on a litany of reality shows beginning in and airing on E!the U.S. cable channel focused on entertainment culture. ese programs have molded sisters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé into complex feminine ideals for a postfeminist consumer- audience. As Rosalind Gill suggests, postfeminism is a sensibility that privileges individual empow- erment alongside pressure for women to “choose” to live up to sexualized ide- als of femininity through careful consumption and self- monitoring. To this end, the Kardashian sisters are exotically hypersexualized, yet family- oriented; they are shrewd businesswomen who love to clean house. Capitalizing on this image, the Kardashian sisters have promoted an array of products intended for feminine self- fashioning, including clothing, perfume, makeup, nail polish, and diet systems, and their younger half- sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been groomed to follow in their footsteps and usher in the next generation, o ering style and beauty tips to Seventeen Magazine readers and helming a clothing line of their own for the juniors market. Contrary to earlier modes of reality TV celebrity (which separated “real” people desiring fame from “real” celebrities exposing their everyday lives), the prized early- twenty- rst- century mode of reality celebrity has become self- branding, wealthy, and entrepreneurial, epitomized by the Kardashians and several of Bravo’s Real Housewives. When the show debuted, Kim was the only semifamous sister, thanks to her red carpet appearances with socialite Paris Copyright © 2015.
