Blake Lively is receiving more than a little backlash after she posted a photo of her volutpious derrière in a gold dress on the Cannes red carpet with the caption, "L.A. face with an Oakland booty." Although the actress was referencing Sir Mix-A-Lot's famous hit "Baby Got Back," commenters were quick to attack her for in appropriating black culture.
"Another day, another rich white woman using WOC's bodies as a punchline and commodity. As if Blake Lively wasn't the worst already," one user wrote.
We think the crazies should calm down! The Gossip Girl star is pregnant with her second child, and she was obviously just using a song lyric to describe her changing physique.
The blonde beauty clearly doesn't value the opinions of others, because the post is still up on her account!

Party boy Scott Disick is learning there may be some pretty serious repercussions from his hard-partying ways. Apparently, the 32-year-old is suffering from kidney problems and his drinking is only making his serious health problems worse.
Sources tell Us Weekly that the father-of-three has been told that if he keeps up his drinking he will need a liver transplant or dialysis.
The source said, "His drinking is making it worse."
The mag also claims that the Kardashian ladies are all quite concerned for his health and his drinking. We should mention that the Lord went to rehab at Cliffside Malibu in October to deal with his substance abuse problem -- and sadly it seems like that didn't take.
A rep for Scott told Us Weekly the health report is "not true."

Breezy wants to set the record straight, but we're not sure we're buying it!
Chris Brown was reportedly kicked off a private jet for smoking weed in Miami on his way to Cannes, but the hip hop bad boy denies the whole thing! The crooner took to Instagram to explain the misunderstanding, but he doesn't make too much sense.
"I see something on TMZ about how we got escorted off a plane. Well, how the hell we in Cannes if we got escorted off a plane?†he began.
Then, CB insinuated that the pilot had solicited drugs from one of his pals!
"Marijuana smoke on the plane? I think we kinda learned our lesson. I don’t think we really need drugs on the plane. But you probably should check with the pilot, ‘cause he definitely kept asking my homies for an eight-ball, and we definitely don’t sell drugs. So I’ma be rich, stay rich, and happy,†he continued.

Does Kylie Jenner have a new man? Looks like it!
The 18-year-old is reportedly dating 22-year-old Canadian rapper, PartyNextDoor, whose real name is Jahron Anthony Brathwaite.
A source tells The Sun, their relationship started quite suddenly but it just feels right. Apparently the new loves have been pals for a while (Kylie and Kendall appeared in his "Recognize" video), but things changed after Kylie's split from 26-year-old Tyga earlier this month.
The source added, "They are mad for each other. She doesn’t know why she wasted time with Tyga."
Apparently the age gap between Kylie and Tyga was a big problem with the Kardashian clan. "Kylie’s family found the eight-year age gap with Tyga a bit weird, especially as they got together before she turned 18 last year. PartyNextDoor is much better as he’s only four years older than her," said the source.
Earlier this week, Kylie and PartyNextDoor, who is signed to Drake's label, debuted their newfound relationship on Instagram, when they posted a snap of their expensive diamond-encrusted Rolexes on Instagram.
Sounds like the basis of an everlasting love!
Not everyone seemed to be so excited about the diamond-studded snap. Tyga appears to have seen the post -- since he himself posted a seemingly passive aggressive Instagram back, showing an armful of his own diamond jewelry. Diamond fight!
We still think Kylie can do better and date someone closer to her own age, but at least he's not 26 and doesn't have a kid with her brother's fiancee! Anything is better than that!

It seems like she's trying so hard to be supportive, but we can't imagine she's super excited for her little brother to steal the spotlight!
Kim Kardashian hit the Grisogono party in Cannes last night, and if she was annoyed about being asked about Rob and Blac Chyna's pregnancy, she certainly didn't show it!
"I mean, it's so exciting. It's a really exciting time for him. I think he'll be the best dad. He's really just such a good, good person," she told Entertainment Tonight.
"We give him — I think more me — gives him advice and it's just been a really fun time. I'm really happy for them," she added.
Now that Kylie has broken up with Tyga, it seems like the Kardashian clan is coming around to their new soon-to-be sister-in-law! Speaking of the former stripper, she recently lashed out at body shamers who are criticizing her expanding figure.
"To all you people out here with negative comments and insecure words (obviously because you have nothing else to do but criticize the next) I AM HAVING A BABY! Exactly what do you expect to see?! If I walked out in makeup and heels everyday to be beautiful to you means I WOULD BE MISERABLE AND UNHAPPY which are two vibes I refuse to transfer to my little one. If I comment on y'all pics and go in on them tired ass weaves or unblended ass contours I'll be wrong right? It'll be tragic! So stop playing & Put Some Respect on my name," she wrote on Instagram.
There's no shortage of plot lines for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, that's for sure!

Kourtney Kardashian may have had her hands full with the kids on Tuesday, but she was as chipper as ever!
The reality starlet was snapped with sons Mason and Reign Disick, and despite the fact that ex/baby daddy Scott Disick was involved in a brawl with a driver outside Gotha nightclub in Cannes, France earlier in the day, she didn't seem to have a care in the world. We should also point out that Scott was with his latest fling, 20-year-old model Christine Burke. Seems like rehab did him good...
When asked about the drama, Kourtney's son Mason had a few choice words for our X17 videographer, which caused Kourtney to erupt into laughter. Mason certainly takes after his daddy...

Arnold Schwarzenegger bumped into son Patrick’s ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus at the NBCUniversal Upfront Showcase in New York City on Monday night, and rather than an awkward encounter, the two documented their run-in on Snapchat! "I'm here with a great, great entertainer," Arnie gushed in the video clip. "One of the greatest in the world. Eat your heart out." Miley quipped, “Yeah, eat your heart out!â€
Miley and Patrick only dated for about five months last year before splitting in April 2015, but the Terminator star has always thought highly of Miley. “She was a wonderful person,†Arnie told Howard Stern in mid-2015. “She has this career side where she has to be a little bit out there because she grew up in a music family. So what? It didn’t bother me. Patrick had a wonderful experience, a great relationship, and then the whole thing eventually fell apart.â€
Correction: Patrick's alleged indiscretions were what led to the couple splitting, but no matter. Miley has gotten back with former fiance Liam Hemsworth, and while the duo won't confirm that they're engaged again, she's reportedly already planning their wedding.
We love that she can basically get along with anyone!

Kylie Jenner had a photo shoot in Malibu on Tuesday, and after that the 18-year-old starlet headed to Bui Sushi for an early dinner with some pals and assistants. Kylie kept her face covered, and her outfit was pretty casual too. What?! Not trying to win ex-boyfriend Tyga back with sexy clothes and Snapchat videos?
There have been rumors that Kylie is dating rapper PartyNextDoor, and with good reason. Just 24 hours of breaking up with Tyga, PartyNextDoor posted a photo to his Instagram with Kylie comparing their jewelry. “Diamond battles with @KylieJenner,†he captioned a pic of the two. Tyga quickly responded with his own photo of his blinged out wrist and wrote, “Diamond battles." HA! This might explain why Tyga went to the Beyonce concert with Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Karlie Redd.
