James is writing a book on the art of getting that special someone to fall in love with you... or just sleep with you, and it all involves one single word. The VMA's happened, we don't want to talk about it, but how can we not, with the surprising presidential announcement. Taylor Swift has given Nnekay more reason to call her basic. James had a major star sighting (remember he watches a lot of ...

One city has banned drag queens from a prideful celebration. It's not the hun...
