Kim Kardashian Won't Talk to Khloe Over Renewed French Montana Romance


Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian Hit the E! Upfronts Red Carpet

Khloe Kardashian’s on-again, off-again relationship with French Montana seems hard enough to deal with, but now she’s bearing the brunt of sister Kim’s wrath over the romance, as well
Khloe, who has been spotted getting cozy with French after their second breakup earlier this winter, is now being iced out by Kim, who refuses to be around Khloe if she’s with her ex. So what’s Kim’s issue with the “Don’t Panic” rapper? She thinks he’s using Khloe to boost his own brand.
“She thinks he is bad news and doesn’t want [Khloe] to get involved with him again,” an insider tellsRadarOnline.com.
When French showed up to a recent Hot 97 party with Khloe, Kim made her feelings about him clear, avoiding both French and her sister at all costs. “She didn’t want to waste time talking to French just to give him the attention he craves,” says a source, who says that Kim is convinced that French isn’t good enough do date Khloe.
While French may be unwelcome in Kim’s presence, he’s not the only ex Kim has to worry about Khloe’s involvement with. Sources claim that newly single Khloe has been getting close to troubled exLamar Odom yet again.

Why Do The Oscars Overlook Modern Black Films With Iconic Black Heroes?


2013 Los Angeles Film Festival - "Fruitvale Station" Premiere

The Academy Awards have no problem honoring historical dramas, period pieces or scripts “based on a true story,” but has such admiration for these themes ever extended itself to films starring Black actors talking about “Black issues,” helmed by Black auteurs?
When the 2015 nominations were announced, Selma was disappointingly absent from categories outside of Best Picture and Best Original Song. The snub inspired the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite. The prestigious ceremony was accused of being out of touch and flippant in their blatant omission of one of this year’s most remarkable films that portrays one the most significant eras and icons in history. The Selmablackout prompted a discussion: does the Academy only honor the Black experience when told through the interpretation of White filmmakers? There’s been a negligence on their part in not recognizing the next generation of modern-day Black narratives.
