Miguel Kicks Two Female Fans After Failed Stage Jump At Billboard 2013 Award

Miguel was definitely the performance of the night after the soulful crooner managed to kick two of his female fans in the head during a terrible miscalculated attempt at a jump over the audience pit at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.
If you were wondering why your Instagram has been filled with Miguel memes, vine has been flooded with reactions of people screaming and dropping their jaws, and Twitter has been ruthlessly pulling out every Miguel joke possible it’s because the R&B star landed on top of one of his fans during his performance at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards and sunk the heel of his boot into another woman’s face.

From the minute Miguel leaped into the air audience members at home could tell something had gone awry. It was obvious that Miguel was unsure and a little uncomfortable about the jump and there is a reason for that. Sources are saying the daring move was completely unrehearsed and unexpected.
We though Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake taught the world a lesson about trying to bust out new moves without telling any of the producers of the show about it, but apparently some people just have to test the fire for themselves.
The California native was giving a new rendition of his hit “Adorn” when he took two steps back to prepare for the leap that probably didn’t look so difficult from his point of view.

While he did manage to make it to the other side he only did so after pinning one woman’s head against the stage with his crotch and kicking a brunette so hard in the face that she was forced to drop down to the ground and completely out of view of the camera.
Talk about getting up close and personal with Miguel.
The good news, however, is that the woman is doing just fine now.
During an interview after the show Miguel brought his “new friend” backstage to apologize and try to make light of the situation.
“Well, I think it’s kind of clear what happened but I’m very happy to bring my new friend, Khyati, we just met,” he said of the young fan who was sporting an ice pack at this point. “Unfortunately we did not meet under the best circumstances, but I think we’re OK.”

He then tried to explain what even caused him to attempt the jump in the first place.
“The crazy thing is, when you’re performing and you’re just kind of into it, you never know where it’s gonna go and where you’re gonna go with it, and how that might turn out.”
He concluded by saying he got “caught up in the moment” and he is just genuinely happy that his fan is okay.
We’re sure he is because had he not been nice enough to bring her backstage and slam her with this “new friend” card she probably would have kicked Miguel in the face with a hefty lawsuit.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting to hear from the other fan that was nearly suffocated by Miguel’s crotch. She totally deserves some backstage access and Miguel “friendship” too… and if she doesn’t get it she might develop a serious case of whiplash and just settle for seeing the “Adorn” singer in court.
Anyway, we couldn’t help but include a few of the most popular tweets about the Miguel mishap.
“Miguel put her to SLEEP!” one user tweeted before receiving over 50 retweets.
Another person wrote, “Miguel just turned into a wrestler tho.”
“Miguel adorned that chick,” another user wrote.
“Miguel you definitely owe her dinner after that,” another tweet read that was retweeted over 70 times within five minutes of the incident.
And now…. Enjoy the most popular memes to be created after the live slip up:

The references to the Mortal Kombat video game were amongst the most popular memes to flood the web.


The Miguel meme even made it unto the basketball courts.

There were also many remixes to “Adorn” after the mishap.

Of course, the world of Twitter and Instagram is famous for combining one pop culture moment with another. The image of Regina George from the movie “Mean Girls” was definitely a Twitter favorite.

Perhaps one of the  most creative photoshopped images was when one fan decided to incorporate “Lion King” into the mix.

Of course, no collection of funny photos would be complete without Kevin Hart.

Christian A weight lost return voice coaches

Christina Aguilera Weight Loss, Christina returns, original Voice coaches, Shakira, The Voice, Usher     Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will both be returning to the hit series “The Voice,” but it’s only Christina who will return with a brand new figure that will have America struggling to pick their jaws up off the floor. Christina was the victim of some serious body bulling throughout the show despite the fact that she still had a body we would want any day.  While keeping the haters in the back of her mind she announced she was actually already on track to live a healthier lifestyle and to get in shape. Well taking a season off to go touring has certainly done some wonderful things for Mrs. Aguilera because hunny she looks fierce! On Wednesday the returning Voice coach posted a pic of herself in some black high-waist short and a bra as she leaned out the window facing a lovely beach.   She was reportedly at the seaside location for the shooting of her new music video “Hoy Tenga Ganas De Ti.” Yes that means you might have to go out and buy Rosetta Stone to enjoy the song but honestly Christina can be singing the McDonald’s dollar menu and we’d still be happy. Anyway, Aguilera admitted earlier this year that she was thankful for all her curves because she used to be “too skinny.” While she still has that hourglass figure that some ladies would die for, she has certainly toned up and slimmed down. Looking good Christina! To make things even better we’re going to see that sexy bod twirling around and around in that large red chair once again when she comes back to “The Voice” next season.  She and Cee Lo are returning for season 5 and will depart yet again for season 6 – allowing Usher and Shakira to return to their swiveling chairs as well. The sad thing about this is that “The Voice” has managed to create not one, but two successful panels of judges that viewers love while American Idol is about to switch up their sixth arrangement of judges. Paul Telegdy, the president of alternative and late night programming for NBC made the announcement about the original four judges returning to the show.  “We locked in a plan several months ago to have the outstanding Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green rejoin Blake and Adam for cycle 5, and we’re pleased to announce that the original four coaches are going to be back together in the fall,” Telegdy said in a statement on Friday. “They’re the reason the show was launched so strong for the first three cycles and we owe them a debt of gratitude.” In the statement he went on to explain that Usher and Shakira will hopefully always be there to fill in for Cee Lo and Christina when they embark on other business endeavors.  While the idea of a constantly changing group of judges may have caused American Idol to tank, “The Voice” has a much better strategy that is probably only going to increase their viewers. Now it is as if America gets two different versions of The Voice every year – one with the costume loving soulful singer and the powerhouse R&B diva and another version with the sexy Shakira and the charming Usher fighting to be the best newbie on the block. It seems like this might be the move that puts the final nail in American Idol’s casket especially after The Voice finally managed to beat out the original singing competition show in the ratings.

Go! Chris Brown Feud With Comedian Jenny Johnson Spurs Death Threats Chris Brown Responds To Chrissy Teigen Death Threats Chris Brown Rejoins Twitter; Talks Love and Twitter Rants with XXL Chris Brown Receives Death Threats While Releasing An Arrogant App

Chris Brown has received multiple death threats that arrived via telephone at

his attorney’s office shortly after he announced the release of a new Chris

Brown app.

Team Breezy must be slipping because usually they would have already found

the person who has been sending their idol death threats or at least lashed out

at them via Twitter and Instagram.

Perhaps they are finally trying to use some common sense and realize that if

they return the threats with threats of their own they could possibly spend a

few nights behind bars and pay a hefty fine.

Either way the Los Angeles police department had to launch a full scale

investigation after the threats were received although they have not given any

details about what specific threats were made.

Just to help out LAPD we created a list of some possible suspects in addition

to what their motives could be:

• Karrueche Tran: She’s upset about the fact that Chris Brown finally seems to

be over her and only beckons for her to join his side when he needs a quick

rebound.

• Rihanna: After that nasty Twitter war that sparked shortly after the couple

broke up we don’t even need to explain why bad gal RiRi would have enough

motive to call in and mess with Chris’s head.

• Jay-Z: Maybe the hip hop mogul is making good on his promise that Chris

would certainly have to pay for his decisions if he ever hurt Rihanna. He

already wasn’t much of a Breezy fan, but maybe upsetting his mentee so much

was just enough to set him off. If the Illuminati is after you Chris you can go

ahead and give up the fight. It’s game over.

• Drake: They already had a serious club brawl and continue to diss each other

quite frequently. Is Drake or his homies still holding a serious grudge?

• Jenny Johnson: After Team Breezy flooded Johnson’s timeline with death

threats , maybe she was finally ready to give Chris a taste of his own medicine.

• John Legend: the soulful artist had to come to the rescue when Chris Brown

attached his fiancé Chrissy Teigen on Twitter. Perhaps the threat was just a

promise that if he ever slipped up again he needs to take a second look over

his shoulder whenever John is in the same city.

• Frank Ocean: He was preaching about forgivesness before but you never know

what a few drinks and some unfinished business can lead to. Maybe Frank

decided that he wanted a rematch with the R&B bad boy after he and his crew

jumped Ocean earlier this year.

• The valet guy: We kind of feel like this might be it. Remember when Chris

exploded on the valet worker after he asked for a measly $10 service fee?

Maybe this is his version of pay back.

Honestly the list of people that hate Chris Brown enough to send in a few

death threats over the phone goes on and on, but if you want to hear more

about what’s going on with the investigation now you won’t even have to turn

to Google to do so.

Team Breezy can rejoice because Brown has release an app that is literally all

about him.

It is basically a news app that would only include news about Breezy –

because Twitter and Instagram and all the other social media outlets they

created since I last blinked my eyes just aren’t enough.

“I am so excited to get closer to my fans – to bring them into my world,”

Rihanna’s ex said in a statement about the new Chris Brown app. “Through my

channel app they can be part of my music, my art and my life, day in and day

out.”

Brown is also rumored to be the one controlling the content of the app, rather

than some type of publicist or assistant, so we’re predicting tons of selfies

every morning and pointless updates that don’t do anybody any good.

Symbolic Pics of the Month (05/13)

Symbolic Pics of the Month (05/13)

vigilantcitizen.com

In this edition of SPOTM: Courtney Stodden, Tilda Swinton, Rita Ora and a bunch other pics proving that what is discussed on this site is all too real.

I’m not gonna lie. Tilda Swinton creeps the hell out of me. Her recent photoshoot for W Magazine fully exploits that creepiness and even takes it to another level as it is permeated with MK/Illuminati symbolism. Here, Tilda is oddly standing next to birdcage (symbol used to represent Monarch slaves). She apparently caught the bird herself. Why Tilda? Why?? Let the bird fly! While this pic alone might not be MK-related, the combination of this image with the others below reads as Illuminati Mind Control 101.

This image is all about the occult concept of duality, represented by the checkerboard pattern of Masonic ceremonial floors. The pattern is found on the floor of this picture and Tilda is literally draped in it. The setting also includes religious/spiritual items, giving the shot an ethereal feel.

Here, Tilda goes all one-eyed Illuminati with it. The images she is holding of an eye and a mouth appear to be a of a different person, hinting to the concept of programmed alter personality in Mind Control (you see what you are programmed to see and say what you are programmed to say).

Two Tildas, separated by a “fracture” of the image represent the fracturing of a MK slave’s psyche into alter personas.

This Vogue Italia photoshoot is also all about with Monarch Programming symbolism. Here, we see the concept of multiple personas.

Silenced by a butterfly (Monarch programming).

Blinded by a butterfly (Monarch programming).

Multiple personalities facing/mirroring each others.

The lipstick that is hiding one of the model’s eyes is a way of telling you “Hey, this is all about Illuminati MK”.

Model Daisy Lowe shows her support to “Earth Hour” with…what else…a one-eyed salute. Why? Because these “Earth” events are sponsored by the elite.

Daisy does the one-eyed thing again in High Life magazine.

I mentioned in previous articles how Courtney Stodden acts like a  Sex Kitten slave. As if to confirm all of that, here she is on the cover of “Girls and Corpses”, a magazine about…girls and corpses. The magazine even promises “real corpses in every issue”. It truly takes a programmed Sex-Kitten to be doing that crap…and smiling.

Pia Mia used to work with Disney. Now she’s doing the one eye thing and pointing a fake gun to her head. Considering Disney’s relation with the MK-industry, this makes perfect sense.

Speaking of Disney, Mickey Mouse ears are “codes” in the entertainment industry representing MK Mind Control. Here’s Rita Ora on the cover of ELLE wearing gigantic ears.

This photoshoot in Vestal, appropriately named “Pop Queen”, is all about Mickey Mouse programming.

On the left, the “pop queen” wears a variety of occult symbols, including an inverted pentagram (symbol of Black Magick) and an inverted cross. On the right, Mickey Mouse ears. Yup, that’s the crap you need to do and wear to be a “pop queen”.

Damn, Nike, that’s some hardcore Illuminati symbolism for some golf balls.

 

Speaking of Nike, this shirt was on sale in the Boston area before the Boston bombings. In a news article about the shirt, a Nike Outlet employee was quoted saying “We’ve been taking them down…But somehow they keep ending up back on the rack”. While the shirt is supposed to refer to the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox, this odd “premonition” is reminiscent to the Oscar Pistorius’ Nike ad entitled “I am the bullet in the chamber”, which appeared before the athlete got charged for the murder of his girlfriend.

Speaking of the bombings, the immediate result of the event was the imposition of Martial Law and a temporary police state – as seen in numerous disaster movies created to train people to accept this course of event. Whether you believe that it was all necessary or not… It happened.  And it set a precedent for future “crises”.

Under Martial Law, private property doesn’t exist anymore and troops have the right to storm into civilians’ homes.

Beyonce IS Pregnant with Second Child – Report

Rumors are continuing to swirl thatBeyonce is pregnant with her second child with hubby Jay-Z, and now sources are confirming to E! News that the rumors are indeed true!
The 31-year-old entertainer and her husband have been under the speculation of pregnancy rumors for weeks, and multiple sources have apparently confirmed the suspicions.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Beyonce baby Blue Ivy.
Bey and Jay-Z are parents to one-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
Beyonce is currently in the middle of her world tour, due to end in early August.
Congrats to Beyonce and Jay-Z on the news – if it’s true, that is!

Beyonce Second Baby Rumors Out Of Control, Mysterious Instagram Denial

Rumors of a second Beyonce baby on the way have spiraled out of control with many magazines claiming the news is already “confirmed” when it indeed is not. Meanwhile a mysterious Instagram post from Queen Bey is floating around the web denying any allegations that she is pregnant.
If Beyonce has worked up some sort of scheme to make sure people are more confused about her pregnancy now than they were when the first baby bump folded in on itself during an interview, she is doing a damn good job.
Of course, that isn’t a hard thing to do when many of the media outlets aren’t doing their jobs the way they should.
News broke that Beyonce’s second pregnancy had been “confirmed” but that’s actually not the case.
When it comes to a star being pregnant the only real confirmation will be when the star admits it themselves or when that baby bump is so large it is undeniable. Queen Bey fits in neither of those categories.
Fans and media alike have simply taken every move Baddie Bey made and twisted it to fit the ideal story that there is another bun in the oven and while that may actually be the case it certainly is nowhere near being confirmed simply because some anonymous sources have stepped forward to say the rumors are true.


Some anonymous sources can tell you that Kanye West is some sort of undercover hip hop ninja that raps by day and slays villains by night but you wouldn’t really look for Mr. West hopping across rooftops would you?
It seems like the Beyonce baby rumors are being fluffed up by poor journalism and readers are taking notice.
“Oh SHUT UP E,” one reader commented on an E! Online article that blasted Beyonce’s second pregnancy confirmation. “Beyonce hasn’t even officially announced she’s pregnant and you are milking ‘pun intended’ this story dry… I am DONE on here until January 2014… see y’all next year.”
Meanwhile, it seems like Beyonce has finally spoken up about the rumors after denying them on Instagram… or did she?
A mysterious Instagram post has been floating around the web that is allegedly from Queen Bey herself denying all allegations that she is pregnant.
The text claims that Beyonce “can’t stop the rumors” and she can’t “change peoples minds who believe them” just before she slams all the rumor starters as “low life people.”

Hmmm something is fishy here…
If you check out Bey’s official Instagram page the post isn’t there. Perhaps it has been deleted or removed due to some backlash for calling potential fans “low life people,” but that doesn’t seem like a Beyonce move.
The other problem with the public denial? The language of it all. It doesn’t seem like Bey’s usual flowery and somewhat witty vernacular. She usually has a much more complex way of saying things other than just slamming people as low lifes.
Remember when the lip sync fiasco was catching major headlines and she responded by posting a picture of herself in a sweatshirt that read “Can I Live?”
That’s the usual Beyonce way of handling rumors. Something that makes you scratch your chin and wonder if she is even talking about what you think she is talking about.
Perhaps the biggest thing that has us concerned with the Instagram post that has vanished off of Instagram but still floating around on Google Images is that Beyonce didn’t WRITE it.

No matter what the issue at hand is, when Beyonce wants to make a statement on Instagram she hand writes a note and then snaps a pic of it. It is extremely rare that she will type the words in and post it that way.
When she had to cancel her concert she WROTE a note to apologize to fans. When she wanted to tell her fans to #BeyGood she WROTE a note. When she took over the Super Bowl stage and knocked the lights out she WROTE a note to Kelly and Michelle.
We aren’t saying it is impossible that she is denying the rumors, we’re just saying that none of the latest Beyonce second pregnancy news can be “confirmed” according to journalistic standards.
Not the denial on Instagram nor the second pregnancy news.

Rihanna Sues Topshop While Dissing ‘Thirsty’ J.R Smith on Instagram

Rihanna has filed a huge lawsuit against British retailer Topshop for using her image on their clothing without her permission. Meanwhile the R&B songstress is doing some rumor control after the rumor mill suggested she was dating Knicks player J.R Smith shortly after her break up with Chris Brown.
Rude Gal RiRi takes no prisoners. When you cross her the wrong way you better buckle up and get ready for the Bajan beauty to hand your ass to you.
When the major British retailer Topshop continued to use her images on their clothing without her permission, she decided it was time for them to fork over a whopping $5 million to make up for it.
“Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image and were told, ‘We do what we want,’” Page Six reported about the incident. “They buy the pictures from a photographer, but they do not pay the artist licensing fees. Unfortunately, UK law does not protect the artist.”

To make matters worse, the retailer isn’t even concerned about being polite or even cordial to the Good Girl Gone Bad.
“What is most offensive for Rihanna is that they basically told her, ‘Go to hell. We don’t care; we are going to continue selling you,’” Page Six added.
Of course, the retail chain wasn’t created yesterday and they know their way around some major loopholes. While Topshop has indeed set up stores in the U.S now they don’t even attempt to sell any articles of clothing with RiRi’s image.
Despite the UK’s law not specifically protecting the artists’ royalties, Rihanna is still going after Topshop for the full $5 million.
Needless to say she isn’t pressed for cash but is simply upset over the principle of someone making money off of her image without giving her a cut of the check.
‘They are taking advantage of artists,” one source explained. “It is just exploitation. What they are doing is wrong.”
Even if Rihanna isn’t successful in court we’re positive she’s going to call on the whole Bad Gal Gang to bash topshop and turn their backs on their products.
Mess with RiRi if you dare, but once she gets mad…. Oh please believe she’s mad.
That is a lesson that J.R Smith has learned much too late.

Rumor had it that Rihanna was dating the NBA star and using him as a rebound after her split with Breezy.
Well that rumor has been busted after she slammed Smith on Instragram for being “thirsty” and ironically… for partying too hard.
One Knicks fan mentioned on her Instagram that the R&B songstress it the reason that Smith has been slacking on the court lately, but Chris Brown’s ex had something to say about that.
“F*** you and your wack azz team!!!!” Rihanna replied in a comment. “Nobody want that desert thirsty ni**a!! He f***ed up because his azz be hungover from clubbing every night during playoffs!! So your issue isn’t with ra$$hole me.”

Well… looks like if anyone is taking Rihanna off the market it isn’t the “desert thirsty” NBA player.
Meanwhile Rihanna took the time to remind us that she doesn’t need any man in her life and she did it in her usual inappropriate ways.
RiRi rocked a t-shirt with the image of a woman touching herself along with the caption “D.I.Y.”

Kanye West Has Finally Broken the Kim Kardashian Curse; Watch ‘New Slaves’

Kanye West will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Light tonight where he is expected to perform his new single “New Slaves” despite going on a rant about the show at his Adult Swim upfronts concert.
There is something that is incredibly obvious about all of Kim Kardashian’s men. Once they hook up with the reality star their career usually begins to tank and it seemed like Kanye West was well on his way to following in their footsteps.
In today’s world of media it has been officially deemed the Kim Kardashian Curse (or Kurse).
Well fret not because the rap mastermind is finally back on top of his game and has been bagging more mainstream gigs now than ever.
Mr. West will appear on Saturday Night Live tonight, May 18, as the show’s musical guest and that usually means will be seeing some funny skits from his was well but Kanye has already made it clear that he won’t be doing any skits for the show.

As we previously reported, Yeezy went on quite an interesting rant during this show at the Adult Swim upfronts concert where he gave SNL a few warnings about his appearance on the show.
“I ain’t doing no mother f***ing SNL skits,” he said during his full three and half minute rant. “This my goddamn life. This aint no mother f***ing joke. That’s it. Stop that sh** right there.”

So while we shouldn’t expect Kanye to be on stage for any skits, we do still have hope that he will take to the stage to perform his new single “New Slaves.”
We just recently slammed ‘Ye for not putting out anymore of his “real” music lately and then trying to blame it on the paparazzi. Well it turns out Yeezy already had some new music on the way and even those pesky paps couldn’t ruin this new song.
Kanye debuted the video for the new track in quite an interesting way that perfectly fit his way of doing things.
The video was projected on the sides of buildings in over 60 different locations on Friday, May 17, and we must say we are enjoying the new Kanye as far as music goes.
The entire concept of the video and the premiere was pretty clever. With the track being about the “New Slaves” the video was shot and premiered in a fashion that made it seem like more than just a new song. Instead it was more of some revolutionary announcement.

I mean picture crowds of people just standing on the street corners looking at this video play on the side of a building in a dark black and white where they only see the face of a man promising them that now is the time to break the trance of being the “New Slaves.”
Sounds pretty incredible right? Sounds like you would walk by and think there was some type of real revolution going on right?
Well if that was Kanye’s plan all along we love it and as for the song itself? The perfect blend of enticing lyrics, a hardcore beat, and a flawless flow.

If you didn’t know about his new single coming out Twitter definitely put you on with tons of raving and celebrating of the rapper’s latest track.
“Good gawd! Kanye really went in on new slaves,” one person tweeted along with a photo of the premiere video being displayed in New York.
“Nothing more to say,” another user tweeted. “Jus know its GOOD music like always #S/O to Kanye.”
The Twitter reactions didn’t stop there, however, as fans (and others who usually don’t give Kim’s boo a listen) raved on about the new song for hours claiming that not even the Beyonce baby could top this announcement.

One of the Kanye West fan sites applauded West for getting back in touch with his roots.
“The Kanye from back in tha day is back to stay,” the page tweeted with excitement. “New Slaves sealed the deal.”
The message behind the song was another thing that had Twitter raving. Yeezy pretty much stepped in where Lauryn Hill’s “Neurotic Society” left off and put it in a way that really drove the point home for the listeners.
“My mama was raised in the era when/ Clean water was only served to the fairer skin/ Threw on clothes, you would’ve thought I had help / But they wasn’t satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself,” he raps in the first few lines of the song.

He even used the song to justify his rude actions that have led some to describe him as being a “dick.”
“You see there’s leaders and there’s followers, but I’d rather be a dick than a swallower,” he raps on the bridge of the song.
A few lines in the song earned praises and applauding before the song could even finish.
“Yall throwing contracts at me, yall know that ni**as can’t read,” he raps before the crowed in New York erupts into screams with one man clearly exclaiming ”Woo! He snapping!”
While the rapping was nice and message literally gives you chills at certain points, the singing at the end should have been left alone. We’re still waiting for Kanye to realize that no amount of autotune will make his voice okay for singing.
You’re going to have to give up on that dream Yeezy.

Tamar Braxton Explains Away Skin Bleaching Rumors With Vitiligo

Tamar Braxton has been accused of skin bleaching ever since her reality TV debut on Braxtons Family Values in 2011, but now she is explaining that what people are confusing for skin bleaching is really a battle with the skin disease Vitiligo.
Tamar’s husband, Vince Herbert, already spilled the beans during another interview earlier this year but now Tamar is coming forward to talk about her condition herself.
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that causes discoloration in the skin due to the loss of skin pigments.
Well Tamar explained that she has had Vitiligo since she was young and people have always been trying to attack her instead of support her as she dealt with the disease.
“Anybody with skin issues knows that that’s a very sensitive subject,” Tamar explained to Ebony. “And that’s why I’ve never shared that I have Vitiligo, because I do. I’ve always had it since I was a young girl. It’s not as bad as others because everybody has it differently, but I’ve certainly had mine diagnosed. That’s why I tan. People say, ‘You bleach your skin!’ But I tan just so I can have better tone on my skin, boo!”

What a shame that the skin bleaching rumors persisted even after Vince admitted in an interview that his wife had Vitiligo.
Perhaps, for some strange twisted reason, people didn’t believe the claims when Vince said it so Tamar made sure she showed off some photo proof to go along with her interview.
The reality star and R&B songstress posted pictures of her hand on Instagram that revealed the spots of discoloration on her skin. She also added a photo of herself as a child dealing with the disease.

She went on to admit that the disease has gotten worse over time and after getting pregnant it was much more noticeable than ever.
“It’s gotten worse since I’ve gotten pregnant,” Braxton added. “If you shake my hands now, to me it’s more noticeable. But when you get diagnosed with a skin disorder, it’s hard.”

She even admitted that it has a massive impact on her self-esteem at times.
Either way, she put her foot down about having to defend herself against skin bleaching rumors.
“But I’m done defending that,” she continued. “I’m not bleaching my skin and if I was bleaching my skin and I felt like saying so, I would, but for the record, I am not.”
Well there you have it, the rumor mill has been shut down and rightfully so.
There are certain situations where the media shouldn’t jump to conclusions especially when it has the potential to truly impact someone in a negative way.
Other celebs such as Michael Jackson, Sisqo, and Tempestt Bledsoe have also fought with vitiligo while in the media spotlight.
Fortunately, there are several organizations now that are coming forward to support people with the disease and even give them a major support system of others who are experiencing the same thing.

Young entrepreneur Natasha Pierre created Vitiligo Bond Inc. where vitiligans can come together to support one another and help raise money for more research about the mysterious illness.

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift Sitting Together at Billboard Awards

Taylor Swift will play an unusual role at the Billboard Awards in Las Vegas this Sunday, May 19: Third wheel and/or referee to close pal Selena Gomez and on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber! A source tells Us Weekly that the singer-songwriter, 23, will sit in the front row at the MGM Grand Garden Arena right next to BFF Gomez, 20, who in turn will sit alongside Bieber, 19.

PHOTOS: Justin and Selena: The way they were
Gomez and Bieber have reunited more than once since their breakup back in January, and it's "clearly no accident" that they'll be seatmates at Sunday's high-profile awards show, the source says. "Their camps must have requested this seating arrangement," adds the insider. "No way would it have happened without their go-ahead."
As for currently single Swift? "Of course Selena's BFF will be sitting next to her!" the source adds.

Bieber was spotted rehearsing for the big show on Friday. "There was no sign of Selena, but he was in great spirits," an onlooker says of the performance, in which he'll croon "Take You."
After kissing backstage in Norway, the volatile couple were photographed cuddling in an Instagram photo posted by Bieber himself in late April. But during a May 10 radio interview, Gomez told the DJ that she's "available."

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson Break Up - For Now

Brace yourselves, Twihards: After four very eventful years together, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are taking a much-needed break, a source close to Pattinson, 27, tells Us Weekly. Additional Pattinson insiders add that the British actor and Stewart, 23, have been "having problems" and "fighting a lot," with things coming to a head on Pattinson's 27th birthday May 13.

Still, the first source adds that the much-scrutinized romance could go either way, and that a reconciliation is certainly possible. Just one week before the bitter birthday argument that led to the current split, in fact, the twosome were happily affectionate at NYC's Cabin, where Pattinson met Stewart following her solo appearance at the Met Gala.
Former child star Stewart met the British actor when they were cast opposite one another in 2008's Twilight, the first of five blockbuster films based on Stephenie Meyer's bestselling vampire book series. As the movie phenomenon exploded over the years, the twosome very, very slowly went public with their romance.

The relationship was put to the ultimate test last July, when Stewart was photographed making out in a public park with Rupert Sanders, her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, in shocking exclusive photos revealed by Us Weekly. Quickly after Us broke the story, Stewart made her most public display of affection ever in a public apology.

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," she said July 25. "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

(Sanders and wife Liberty Ross, meanwhile, are already done: The British model, who shares two young kids with the director, filed divorce papers in January.)
The pair reconciled by fall 2012, and jointly promoted Breaking Dawn: Part 2 together. They even appeared to survive several months thousands of miles apart as Pattinson filmed The Rover in Australia in early 2013.
