Rihanna Reportedly Gets Drake-Dedicated Tattoo
Rihanna reportedly got tatted for Drake, so we know it's real.
Another day, another Drake and Rihanna report. This is actually the second one today, so forgive us. Last night the two made their feelings for each other as clear as possible by sharing on an on-stage kiss after Drizzy brought out the singer at his "Summer Sixteen" tour stop. This followed footage of the two getting coupley with each other during a Miami afterparty. Now a report has surfaced revealing more details concerning their Miami meet-up, and it's getting real, real quick.
TMZ reports that before Wednesday night's Miami show, the two hit up a tattoo shop where RiRi got herself some Drake-dedicated ink. Rihanna reportedly got a shark tattoo on her ankle, paying homage to the fact that Drake took her to Toronto's aquarium and bought her a shark stuffed animal-- this stuffed animal actually makes an appearance in that selfie Drake posted with badgalriri after the MTV VMAs. Check out the photographic evidence via TMZ in the gallery above.
The new tattoo was reportedly done by celebratory tattoo artist Keith "Bang Bang" McCurdy, and Drizzy apparently got some new ink as well, although no word as to what he got, yet.
Colin Kaepernick Releases A Statement About His "Pig Cop" Socks
"I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people."
Earlier today, photos surfaced of Colin Kaepernick taking the practice field in a pair of socks that featured pigs dressed up as cops. These pictures were actually taken before his decision to sit during the National Anthem, but they still served as a means for him to bring awareness to his cause.
The pictures were going viral, and we knew it was only a matter of time before he was questioned about them. Moments ago, Kaepernick took the time to release the statement below which he posted on his instagram account @Kaepernick7.
"I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately."
Kaepernick, who will likely be named the backup to Blaine Gabbert, will start tonight for the 49ers in their final preseason game against the Chargers, which ironically enough, is Military Appreciation Night at Qualcomm Stadium.
Art Gallery Looking To Sell Kanye West's "Famous" Figures For $4 Million
Want to put the bed (and all that lies within) from Kanye's "Famous" video in your own room? That'll be $4 million.
Kanye West's "Famous" video stands as one of the most memorable videos of the year for obvious reasons, as it shows off 12 naked wax figures in a bed together, each one bearing a stunning likeness to a well-known celebrity figure. The bed includes Taylor Swift, Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Ray J, Chris Brown, both Kim and Kanye, and more. The incredibly lifelike figures even appear to be breathing as they sleep. Last week, the massive bed, with each figure still lying in the same spot, was showcased in a private exhibition at the Blum & Poe gallery in LA. Now the gallery is hoping to sell the entire piece as one, reports The New York Times. The price? About $4 million.
It hasn't been confirmed that Kanye is willing to let go of his beloved celebrity bedfellows, though the $4 million total is a reasonable early estimate of a selling price, according to Blum & Poe co-founder Tim Blum. The figure is a sum of the value of "the materials needed, labor, and Mr. West's name," says the NYT. LA-based artist Aaron Axelrod claims that he has figured out that it cost between $500,000 and $1 million just to construct the whole "Famous" spread. "This kind of caught me off guard," he said. "It's one of the coolest pieces I've ever seen, which is kind of annoying because it's Kanye West."
