Lala Says She’s Tired Of People Calling ‘Kim Kardashian’ A Whore Read more: Lala Says She’s Tired Of People Calling ‘Kim Kardashian’ A Whore

Lala is a good, genuine friend. She definitely holds her friends down and you have to respect that. Earlier today, she visited Power 106′s Breakfast Club to chat about how she is able to balance a successful career with being a wife and mother as well as give out relationship advice but things almost went downhill when a caller called in to ask about ‘birds of a feather, flock together’. The caller was in a situation where she felt she was getting a bad rep because of her friend who slept around and wanted to know how Lala would deal with the situation since she is friends with Kim Kardashian. Lala responded: First of all, We joke around and have fun but I am really starting to get a little tired of people calling her that to me because if I was calling your friend a whore you wouldn’t like that would you? No matter what people’s perceptions are, I know my friend and I know her heart and who she is and she’s not a whore. We are all grown now! I can’t be responsible for what people think about other people, I go by how a person treats me and she’s always been an amazing person to me. As far as your situation is concerned, the same thing applies. We are all grown. If your friend has a bad rep, you can’t take responsibility for what your friend does, so you shouldn’t be grouped in that category because of what she does, you can only be responsible for your own actions.

Jeremy Lin is still trying to sleep on his teammates’ couches

One of the many storylines that dotted Jeremy Lin's shocking 2012 ascension to from training camp fodder to an NBA Player of the Week award recipient and two-time Sports Illustrated cover subject was the so-cute tale behind his time spent on former teammate Landry Fields' living room couch. Lin, who shuttled back and forth between the New York Knicks' D-League affiliate in Erie, Pennsylvania and the big leagues before nearly being cut by the team before his breakout February, was forced to sleep on Fields' couch while he was with New York for those factors and more — including the scrunched up lockout-influenced schedule, the fact that he and Fields were fast friends, and the centuries-long lack of real estate options in the greater New York City metropolitan area. Signed by Houston over the summer, if reluctantly, it appears as if Lin is having the same troubles in the fourth-largest city in America. As tweeted by new Rockets teammate Chandler Parsons on Sunday afternoon, Lin can't seem to get away from couchin' it up. From Parsons' Twitter account, here's a screengrab from the Rocket forward's phone:

Instagram cancels Chief Keef's Account After Sex Photo

Chief Keef is giving Chris Brown a run for his money in "The Things You Shouldn't Share on the Web" category. The Chicago rapper uploaded a photo to Instagram of himself engaged in sexual act with an unidentified woman over the weekend. The picture and Chief Keef's account on the photo sharing app used by some 80 million people has since been removed leading curious followers to a "Page Not Found" screen.
More specifically, the photo showed a groupie giving the 17-year-old rapper head. The rapper wasn't too happy that his thoughtless actions warranted such consequence. "Fuck instagram dey took my shit again," Keef tweeted in dismay.

The "I Don't Like" rapper is already in hot water for tweeting his elation over the death of rapper Lil JoJo. “Its Sad Cuz Dat Nigga JoJo Wanted To Be Jus Like Us #LMAO,” Keef shared only a couple hours after the aspiring rapper's death earlier this month. The tweet caused an uproar in the community, landed Keef in police questioning and on the cover of the Chicago Sun-Times. It also got his grandma worked up. (We wonder what Chief Keef's granny would say about this Instagram business!) Lupe Fiasco said Keef's behavior and the lifestyle he represented made him want to quit rapping.

While he may still be a teen, it seems Keef is having a problem with the concept of oversharing ... and learning a lesson.
