Killa Chronicles: Cam'ron Announces Memoir On The Way
Source: YouTube / IT IS WHAT IT IS Cam'ron has officially announced that he's writing a memoir, after signing a $750,000 book deal with major publisher Simon & Schuster. The book will tell the story of his rise in Hip-Hop, from his early days in Harlem to becoming a major figure in the game as part of Dipset (The Diplomats), and how he later reinvented himself as a media personality. Fans can expect the memoir to share real stories from behind the scenes, covering big moments in his life and career, both the wins and the struggles. Cam'ron will also talk about his transition into hosting, with popular shows like *It Is What It Is* and *Come and Talk 2 Me*. In a short statement, Cam said, 'I'm happy to have this deal done. Hopefully, the book will be released in February of 2026, and everyone can take something from my memoir when they read it.' There's no official title yet, but people are already buzzing about what he might reveal in the book. Known for his sharp wit, bold style, and unfiltered opinions, Cam'ron's memoir is expected to give fans a closer look at the man behind the music—and the mic. Whether you're a longtime Dipset supporter or just getting into Cam's recent media moves, this book will likely have something for everyone.

Noel Edmonds savours 'nutter status' as he unveils big plans on Kiwi Adventure
Noel Edmonds joked that he savoured "unique nutter status" as he unveiled grand plans to build an energy garden on his New Zealand estate. The Deal or No Deal presenter, 76, moved from the UK in 2018 and has bought a £15m estate called River Haven, which includes a pub named The Bugger Inn and a vineyard. His bid to create a thriving business has been documented in new ITV show Kiwi Adventure, and in the latest episode he revealed his idea of creating a special energy garden. He was confident about finding some "magic" stones with energy for the project, but admitted people thought that idea was "crazy". The episode that aired on Friday, 27 June saw Edmonds battling with the wet weather, with the star saying he was "haemorrhaging money" as rain kept punters from his pub. But when the clouds cleared, he and wife Liz visited a quarry to find the perfect rocks to start their garden. "Are there many people coming and acquiring rocks from you?" Edmonds asked the owner. "Because I always savour unique nutter status." The star said he was after "four magic ones". "It's all about energy," he said, after spotting one he was drawn to. "There are so many people who think you are crazy if you talk in this way about a rock having energy, being attracted to it, but they are the crazy ones. Because it has been known for thousands of years that we are energy beings." Read more: Noel Edmonds How Noel Edmonds went from TV's most famous host to rural life in New Zealand Noel Edmonds complains he is 'haemorrhaging money' on £15m New Zealand estate Noel Edmonds wants to challenge Jeremy Clarkson's Farm team "This thing about the energy, you have got to appreciate, we have all got to appreciate, that we are surrounded by this sort of invisible mist of energy," said the star. "One of the limitations of the human form is that we can't see it but yet your cat and your dog can see it." The episode also saw Edmonds end up taking an impromptu dip when his stepson pushed him off a boat into the river. The TV host had shared that he had toyed with the idea of offering rafting trips to guests and after he uncovered two rafts on the property, he and others from the estate decided to go out on them. At one point, Edmond questioned whether the rafts would speed up if there were less people in them, leading his stepson Harrison to creep up and push him into the water. He roared with laughter as he bobbed along in the river, before some of the team dragged him out. Chatting to wife Liz about his surprise swim, Edmonds joked that her first thought when she spotted that he wasn't in the boat was "life insurance". But she insisted: "It was, 'Oh God where is my husband?'" In another scene, Edmonds played the piano to the plants in his vineyard in a bid to help them grow. He told his team he'd read an old study that suggested that plants grew more if music was played to them. Having arranged for a truck to pull a piano through the fields, he sat down and tickled the ivories as his colleagues watched. The presenter was also reunited with Mr Blobby, who originally featured on his House Party show, when someone dressed up as the character for the estate's Halloween bash. "There is an assumption for some reason, that I go, 'Oh Blobby'," Edmonds said. "Actually I love the legacy of Blobby. The first reason is, it gave so much happiness. The other reason is, 'Cor I didn't half make a lot of money out of it'." Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure is available on ITVX.

New Golden Bachelor's Comments On Age Draw Backlash
There's a new golden bachelor in town, but I'm not sure if he will be as polished as previous gentlemen in his position. In season 2 of The Golden Bachelor, the lucky leading man is Mel Owens, a 66-year-old former NFL player who was a linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams. Before that, he played college football for the University of Michigan Wolverines, and let me tell you, it's pretty obvious because he's got the problematic locker room talk down pat. On a June 10 episode of the Michigan football podcast MGoBlue Podcasts With Jon Jansen, Mel revealed what he's looking for in the bachelorettes for the upcoming season premiere. He said during the casting process, the producers asked him," 'What's your preferences?' so I just said, '45 to 60,' just being honest." After Mel was chosen, he claimed he had lunch with the executive producer and told him, "If they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them. He said the producer told him, "Oh, man you can't—this is not The Silver Bachelor, this is The Golden Bachelor. But they're going to be hot, don't worry about it, don't worry about it,'" while also explaining he "'can't use the word cut.'" According to the series website, the executive producers of The Golden Bachelor are Claire Freeland, Jason Ehrlich, Bennett Graebner, and Andrew Frank. Mel said the explained cut is "an NFL term." But he didn't stop there. Elaborating on his age parameters, like he's recruiting a high school senior quarterback, he said, "They've got to be fit, because I stay in shape and work out and stuff. And I told them to try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs. That kind of stuff." When the podcast host asked what he was looking for, Mel added that he was looking for someone who's "a lifetime learner" and "enjoys life, and workouts, stays fit, eat and have fun," and "be energetic." Unfortunately, Mel's comments are going viral, and the reactions on the r/thebachelor Reddit thread show that people are not too pleased. One user wrote, "i already hate this man with a burning passion, and not in a way that makes me want to watch him on TV. This is why I don't mess with The Bachelor anymore." Someone else said, "Honestly I'm side-eyeing the exec producer the most - he told you these things and you still decided to move forward with him?" "The wigs and artificial hips comment is actually cruel and deranged. Nobody wants their hair to thin or to have a hip replacement but it happens. How horrible to say a woman isn't worthy of him because of it. He's gross. I'm definitely not watching, unless only women who want to tell him off apply for the sole purpose of doing so on-air," another user wrote. This person wrote, "Locking in my prediction now: he's going to pick one of the youngest women on his season, dump her within six months, and by this time next year he'll be going to Bachelor hangouts and flirting with the 20-somethings. "Ew, really? Men who can't appreciate women their own age and demand younger women are gross. I'm so grateful my husband only seems to find me more attractive as I age! And why shouldn't he? He's aging too, something these men all to often forget 🤦🏻♀️," another person said. This Redditor said, "Listing his range as 45-60 is so weird. I'm turning 44 this summer, and I can't imagine being with a man 20+ years older than me. Even if he is "fit." This guy needs to be humbled." "Why in the world did they pick someone so unlikeable? They ruined everything that people liked about the first season," another Redditor wrote. And finally, someone hilarious asked, "have men ever considered literally just shutting the fuck up?" The general consensus is there's a red flag on the play for the former NFL linebacker. What are your thoughts about the new Golden Bachelor? Let's huddle in the comments.
