Snoop Lion says homosexuality may not ‘ever be acceptable’ in rap music
Snoop Dogg may have recently come out in support of gay marriage, but he doesn’t seem to think the world is ready for gay rappers. The legendary hip-hop artist, who now goes by Snoop Lion, was asked whether Frank Ocean’s decision to come out as a gay artist would make it easier for others to follow suit. He responded by saying “Frank’s a singer. It’s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don’t know if it ever will be because rap is so masculine.” Speaking to The Guardian, he explained: “It’s like a football team. You can’t be in a locker room full of tough dudes, then all of a sudden say, ‘Hey, man, I like you.’ You know, that’s going to be tough.”
His comments are poignant, considering the number of anti-gay remarks made by the likes of Kanye West and Jay-Z in their music, which contradicts their supportive stance on LGBT rights. Last week, the Gin & Juice rapper spoke of his support of people’s choices to marry who they want to The Huffington Post: “People can do what they want and as they please. Satisfy yourself accordingly. I have no issues with nobody. I live for me and I live my life doing what I do, so you should have the right to do whatever you want to do.” “In the 90s and 2000s, gay is a way of life…Just regular people with jobs. Now they are accepted, not classified. They just went through the same things we went through as black.”
Despite his suggestion that homosexuality and rap music are not quite compatible yet, the rapper-turned-reggae star wanted to make it clear that he “doesn’t have a problem with gay people.” “I got some gay homies.” He told The Guardian.

Megan Fox transforms her look with fiery new locks
Megan Fox was already beautiful as a brunette, but the Transformers star is now red hot thanks to a fiery new hairdo. The actress debuted her flaming tresses as she strolled through the airport terminal in Los Angeles last Thursday. The 26-year-old dyed her hair to play a redhead for director Michael Bay’s film Ninja Turtles. In the adventure feature Fox plays April O’Neil, who is a good friend of the turtles.
The new look definitely suits her, as she has just the right complexion to compliment her dark coppery locks. The actress joins a group of other female stars, such as Glee’s Diana Agron, who’ve recently dyed their hair red.

She’s finally baring it! Kim Kardashian shows off pregnant belly on Twitter
She has for the most part been covering up her pregnant belly in baggy clothing, but Kim Kardashian changed tack on Saturday, baring her bump in all its glory. The 32-year-old tweeted a picture of herself wearing black skintight leggings and a white sheer top rolled up to reveal her sizable belly.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star spliced together two pictures of herself standing in the same pose, one with her belly covered and the other with it exposed. Kim, who is six months’ pregnant, has been criticised for gaining weight during her pregnancy, but the brunette showed off a slender figure in the picture, which she accompanied with the simple caption ‘baby love’ followed by a heart icon.
