Rapper Mykki Blanco Reveals He Is HIV Positive

Rapper Mykki Blanco Reveals He Is HIV Positive

Rapper Mykki Blanco, born Michael Quattlebaum Jr., announced over the weekend that he is HIV positive.

The Harlem performance artist shared the personal news on Facebook, saying, "I've been HIV Positive since 2011, my entire career. F--k stigma and hiding in the dark, this is my real life."

He continued, "I'm healthy I've toured the world 3 times but I've been living in the dark, it's time to actually be as punk as I say I am."

Fans immediately began flooding the page with supportive comments, and Blanco responded to several with well wishes and gratitude.

"The music industry ain't gonna like I admitted this so if a curator could help me move more into the art world that would be awesome…No more living a lie. HAPPY PRIDE," he shared before adding, "Thank you, hiding, being afraid of stigma is exhausting, we are souls not images thank you brother."

One fan's message stuck out at him in particular and he wrote back, "Thank you it's just today for everyone else knowing it's been 5 years of me, meds, garlic, limes, yogurt, lol world travel. I just can't be an image living in fear having people call me brave and it being a lie. Thank you for your support."

Blanco, whose most recent album was 2014's Gay Dog Food, has been a longtime supporter and activist for the LGBT community.

He told fans last spring that he was arrested in Portugal for being homosexual, and also has slammed Russia's anti-gay laws via social media in recent months.

Katy Perry Goes Practically Naked in New Moschino Campaign Ads—See the Sexy Pics!

Katy Perry is letting us see a sliver of her naked body in her latest Moschino ads and, well, it's pretty hot!

The star, who announced herself as the new face of the brand via Instagram on June 10, gave fans another glimpse of her campaign for Jeremy Scott's fall-winter 2015 collection, including one snap where she sports a graffiti-printed coat (and, er, little else). The new ads also feature her Kris Jenner-inspired pixie cut wig, as well as Moschino handbags and accessories.

Another shot the singer posted this morning features a purple and orange get-up replete with a quilted nylon backpack and oval-shaped sunnies.

And if you got 'em, flaunt 'em: Katy shows her ripped midriff in a third Moschino ensemble, this one featuring bold primary colors and a decidedly '90s baseball cap.

Sweden's Princess Madeleine Gives Birth to a Son!

There's a new baby in town!

Sweden's Princess Madeleine has given birth to a boy! She went into labor Monday, only two days after attending the wedding of her brother, Prince Carl Philip. The marshal of the realm said in a statement, "Both mother and child are in good health."

The palace didn't reveal the name of Madeleine's new baby.

This is the second child for Madeleine and husband Christopher O'Neill, who already have one-year-old daughter Princess Leonore. The royal family celebrated Carl Philip's nuptials Saturday in Stockholm, where he married Sofia Hellqvist, 30, in the chapel of the Royal Palace in front of friends and members of the royal family.

The bride looked every bit a princess (and like Kate Middleton) in her long-sleeved gown that was decorated with lace, a long train and a cathedral-length veil. After the ceremony, thousands of fans waited to greet and wave to the newlyweds. They then were driven by horse-drawn carriage to the palace for the wedding reception.

The wedding party and guests included the prince's father and reigning monarchKing Carl Gustaf, 69, mother Queen Silvia, 71, sister Crown Princess Victoria, the 38-year-old heir apparent, her husband Prince Daniel, 41, and their daughter,Princess Estelle, 3.

It certainly was a big weekend for this royal family. Congratulations are in order again for this big family, which just got a little bit bigger!

Game of Thrones Finale's Devastating Death Made Fans Totally Lose Their $#*!

Game of Thrones Finale's Devastating Death Made Fans Totally Lose Their $#*!

If you're anything like us, you still haven't processed what went down in the brutal, life-ruining, heartbreaking fifth season finale of Game of Thrones. Warning, spoilers ahead!

Arya's blind. Cersei atoned for her sins. And people died. In fact, lots of people died. One of those people was sweet angel Jon Freakin' Snow, who was stabbed by his own Night's Watch brethren after being declared a traitor for trusting the Wildlings. 

While we've still got some desperate hope that Jon's death is a fakeout, Kit Harington claims he's done on the show and he certainly didn't look very alive there at the end, bleeding on the ground with multiple stab wounds. 

We were crying, the Internet was crying, and Twitter was ablaze in 140 character sobs as it became even clearer than ever before that no one and nothing is safe—not even our fragile hearts. 

Honestly we feel like we can relate to every single one of these feelings, and we've never felt more connected to the Twitter-verse and to our fellow humans. We will get through this together. We will perservere. And we will be back next season to torture ourselves yet again. 

 

Perrie Edwards Talks Zayn Malik Wedding: "I'll Get Married When I'm Bloody Ready!"

Note to self: Don't ask Perrie Edwards when she and Zayn Malik are going to say "I do!"

During a recent interview with Capital FM, the Little Mix singer and bride-to-be was asked what's the one question she never wants to be asked again. Her not-so-shocking answer? "I'm sick of being asked, 'When is the wedding? When is the wedding?'"

Then, as she comically stared into the camera and raised her voice shrilly, Perrie provided her answer: "I'll get married when I'm bloody ready!"

Well, OK then. It was just last week that Perrie, 21, inadvertently fueled rumors that she and the former One Direction boy-bander, 22, had married in secret. In a video making the rounds on Twitter, she referred to herself as "Perrie Malik," which sent the Internet into a state of speculative fury!

E! News reached out to a rep for Little Mix, who assured us that Perrie did notsecretly marry Zayn. She and her bandmates were just goofing around!

This makes sense, because Perrie and Zayn don't seem to be in any huge rush to the altar. This past May, the future Mrs. Malik told The Sun she's been too "busy" to plan a wedding yet! (E! News confirmed the couple's engagement in August 2013).

"Me and Zayn want it to be perfect, so as soon as I have a bit of time we'll plan it," she explained. "I doubt it will be this summer—but I'll let you know!"

Perrie likes keeping certain details of her personal life private, too. As she toldHunger TV in a recent interview, "Our relationships are no one's business but our own!"

She's not all that concerned, either, with clearing up any false reports regarding her and Zayn's romance. "At the start you want to try and fix it, and run around telling everyone that rumours aren't true, but now it's just not worth it," she said. "Let it go. If people believe it, then whatever."

Check Out Jennette McCurdy Like You've Never Seen Her Before in Between, Your New Netflix Obsession

Check Out Jennette McCurdy Like You've Never Seen Her Before in Between, Your New Netflix Obsession

Welcome to Pretty Lake, home of your latest Netflix obsession. 

Hot on the heels of release of Orange Is the New Black's highly anticipated third season, Netflix already has the remedy for your withdrawal symptoms at the ready: Between, its dark and edgy new series centering on a town where a deadly virus basically kills anyone over the age of 22. (So basically, it's the CW's dream-world. We jest, we jest!) While that premise should be enough to hook you, we bet you'll be intrigued to find out it'll be the first series to stream weekly on Netflix, meaning it's a slow-burn.

Starring in Between? Sam & Cat and iCarly star Jennette McCurdy, who takes on her most adult role yet, as the minister's pregnant teen daughter, and we have your exclusive inside look at the bold yet bleak new drama in the video above, with insight straight from its gorgeous leading lady...

"I'm a huge Netflix fan and when they told me about this show, I was excited because I could see how character-driven it could really be," McCurdy says in the clip above. "It really has a voice of its own and to me, that's great television." 

The characters, of course, are mostly all under the age of 22, so it's "kids surviving on their own," Jesse Carere explains. As Kyle Mac puts it, "It's a little bit of Lord of the Flies taking place." Cut to a shocking shot of all the kids burning hundreds of dead bodies. 

But Carere warns, "it gets darker and darker as the show progresses." Just how much darker can you go than that? Press play on the video above to find out. 

Selena Gomez Bares Her Midriff and Flashes a Whole Lotta Leg in a Red Hot Dress at Hotel Transylvania 2 Photo Call

Selena Gomez Bares Her Midriff and Flashes a Whole Lotta Leg in a Red Hot Dress at Hotel Transylvania 2 Photo Call

Selena Gomez has legs for days!

Gomez joined Kevin James and Adam Sandler at the Summer of Sony Pictures Entertainment event in Cancún, Mexico, Sunday, where the trio promoted their upcoming animated film Hotel Transylvania 2. The 22-year-old star looked ravishing in red, showing off her fit figure in a midriff-baring number that included a floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit. Christian Louboutin heels completed her look.

Gomez posted a picture on her Instagram, which showed her posing with five kids dressed up as vampires. "Hotel Transylvania 2 press with the crew babies!!!" she wrote. "Can't wait for you to see this movie. So sweet!"

The actress reprises her voice role as vampire Mavis in the Columbia Pictures movie. James returns as Frank/Frankenstein, while Sandler is back as Count Dracula. The rest of the voice cast includes Steve Buscemi as Wayne; Mel Brooksas Vlad; Fran Drescher as Eunice; Keegan-Michael Key as Murray; Andy Sambergas Johnny; Molly Shannon as Wanda; and David Spade as Griffin the Invisible Man.

In the 3D computer animated sequel, Hotel Transylvania finally opens its doors to human guests. Mavis and Johnny have a son named Dennis, who doesn't appear to possess typical vampire abilities. When Mavis and Johnny go on a visit to see Johnny's parents, Count Dracula calls upon his monster friends to help him put Dennis through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. To his dismay, Count Dracula's father, Vlad, also learns that his great-grandson is not a pure blood vampire and that the hotel is not what it used to be.

Hotel Transylvania 2, directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, is in theaters Sept. 25.

The first film, released in September 2012, earned more than $358 million at the global box office. Hotel Transylvania received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film. Though it lost to Brave, Sandler won Favorite Voice From an Animated Movie at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
