Rapper/music mogul Jay Z is taking on President Donald Trump in a new interview with CNN's Van Jones and it's isn't pretty, people ...
Jay calls the president a "superbug" created when we repress racists like former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling after he was found to have made racist statements on a secretly-recorded private phone call. Jay Z told Jones that maybe our society should handle these incidents differently and not push these people completely out of the public eye because it only serves to push other racists into the closet, but it doesn't solve the problem. He likens the situation to spraying perfume on the trash and says after you cover up and cover up and cover up the stench, it only grows a "superbug" as we have now, in the form of Donald Trump.
Well, not surprisingly, the President wasn't happy with King of Pop Culture's statement and Tweeted Sunday morning ...
Jones asked Jay if the President doesn't have a point with his claims that unemployment in the African-American community is at it's lowest in decades and if it's okay for Trump to make "shithole country" comments as long as he puts money in the pockets of black Americans and Jay responded: "... it's not about money at the end of the day. Money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point.
"You treat people like human beings. That's the main point."

We have serious doubts they're even still together.
Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Travis Scott are set to welcome their first child together in another month or two, but the couple have no intention of making things official when the baby arrives.
"There are no plans for them to get married or even engaged. It’s not anything that Kylie seems to be focused on," a source dished to People.
This isn't shocking, as rumors have been swirling that the pair recently had a blowout fight after the LipKit queen discovered the rapper had been unfaithful, and now she's not sure what the future holds for their relationship.
"Kylie and Travis got into a blowout fight after he showed up unexpectedly to her mother Kris’ house, where she’s been staying lately. She flipped out on him and accused him of cheating on her with several women during her pregnancy, including a girl that she is kinda friends with!†a source dished to Radar.
"Kylie just wants Travis to leave her alone right now, and she doesn’t want anyone around except mom Kris Jenner and best friend Jordyn Woods. He has been trying to do everything he can to win her back, including sending her flowers and gifts. But she is just so emotional right now that she doesn’t know what she wants. The fact that they are still talking and in communication leads some of her friends to believe that they will fix things before the birth of the baby," the source added.
Did anyone think they'd actually last? We definitely didn't!

He likes 'em young apparently!
Dane Cook, 45, is dating an 18-year-old singer named Kelsi Taylor, and based on social media posts, they've been together for at least ten months. That means he literally got to her the minute she became legal, and although technically he hasn't done anything wrong, this is still shocking and pretty creepy!
The brunette beauty and the comedian have been posting pics of them together all over Instagram, so it's not like they care what people are saying either! That said, they do seem really happy together, and everybody deserves to find true love.
Remember when he was dating Jessica Simpson?! That was weird!

She's only got a couple more months to go it seems!
Eva Longoria grabbed lunch with husband Jose Baston in Beverly Hills yesterday, and even though she's in the second trimester of her pregnancy, her baby bump was pretty well disguised in this floral jumpsuit.
After a couple bad marriages, the 42-year-old has finally found happiness with her hubby, and she knows how lucky she is.
"I’ve established my career and accomplished what I’ve wanted to accomplish. I still have dreams and goals, but now I can relax and focus on this beautiful marriage that I have with this amazing human being that I never knew existed. Loving him is the easiest thing that I’ve ever done in my life," she told Parade.

She's not your typical teenager!
Kaia Gerber returned to LA from Paris fashion week yesterday, and the 16-year-old walked in basically every top designer's show during her time in the City of Lights. Her career is certainly taking off, and we don't think it will be long before she steals Kendall Jenner's top model crown!
Cindy Crawford's daughter is clearly genetically blessed, because she recently admitted that she loves nothing more than indulging in carbs, which is basically unheard of for someone in the fashion industry!
"I don’t go a day without eating pasta. Penne with vodka sauce is my all-time favorite and is actually one of the things I know how to prepare myself. It’s very important to know how to make pasta because you can do it anywhere in the world. It’s easy, it’s fast, and everyone likes it," she said in a profile for Harper's Bazaar.
We were wondering how she balances work with school, but then we got our answer.
"I’m completing my diploma at Malibu High School through an online program, and it’s difficult to get much done during the week, as the Wi-Fi on planes is really annoying. My favorite class this year is AP Calculus because I just like math. It’s definitely super hard to teach yourself derivatives, though!" she explained.
She seems like she has a good head on her shoulders, so her parents should be proud!

This is so over the top, we love it!
Money is no object to Khloe Kardashian, so we're not surprised that she sent sister Kim this massive floral arrangement that spelled out "Chi" to celebrate the birth of her baby daughter Chicago West. The reality star was quite touched, and took to social media to show off her blooms. Now that's sibling love!
In other Koko news, the Revenge Body star recently revealed that having a bun in the oven is making her cellulite way more prominent.
"Pregnancy may make cellulite look worse for a while, because the weight that you gain in pregnancy could make it more noticeable. I feel like I've always had cellulite but it's way more prominent at the moment," she tweeted.
"So far no stretch marks. So I'm happy about that the perks of being chubby previously. Lol my tummy knows how to stretch. Don't mind me... just growing a human over here!! Still, I almost can't believe it. I know im a nerd but im just so excited," she added.
Kimmy K better start thinking of a way to reciprocate when Khloe gives birth!

The mag gave us a lot to talk about with this one!
Everyone was talking about how Oprah appeared to have three hands and Reese Witherspoon appeared to have three feet on the new Vanity Fair cover yesterday after an epic Photoshop fail, but today, the talk of the town is the fact that James Franco was digitally removed from the shot!
The actor, who is weathering a sexual misconduct scandal, originally sat for the photoshoot with his fellow stars, but was erased from the image after allegations against him came to light.
“We made a decision not to include James Franco on the Hollywood cover once we learned of the misconduct allegations against him,†a spokesperson for Vanity Fair confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Going back to Oprah and Reese, the ladies couldn't help but poke fun at the bad photo editing job on Twitter, and it's pretty hilarious.
"Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. 😃( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;)," the Big Little Lies star tweeted.
"I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand👋ðŸ¾ðŸ‘‹ðŸ¾ðŸ‘‹ðŸ¾â¤ï¸," Oprah responded.
Kim Kardashian doesn't have any baby weight to lose after welcoming daughter Chicago via surrogate last week, so why not treat fans to a topless selfie and show off your hot bod?!
She's in the best shape of her life after taking up healthy eating and working out, and she's clearly proud of her toned curves.
It also helps when you have a great surgeon that can yank your boobies up when they droop! Let's be honest, with knockers as large as Kimmy K's, they'd definitely be down to her knees if it wasn't for a little nip-tuck.
