Chrissy Teigen issued a lengthy response to best-selling cookbook author, Alison Roman, who went after Chrissy for her own cooking empire exploits. This week, Alison made some comments about Chrissy's rapidly-growing business following the release of her Cravings cookbook, indicating that she does not wish to follow in her footsteps.

"What Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me," Alison said in an interview with The New Consumer. "She had a successful cookbook. And then it was like boom, line at Target. Boom, now she has an Instagram page that has over a million followers where it’s just, like, people running a content farm for her. That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that. But like, who’s laughing now? Because she’s making a ton of f*cking money.”

Chrissy caught wind of Alison's comments after they were quoted by Page Six, and expressed her disappointment that someone she admired felt this way about her. She also defended her decision to pursue her dreams by writing a cookbook because she had wanted something of her own that her husband, "John [Legend] didn't buy."
Chrissy received tons of support on her thread, including from John. "I love what you are building," he replied. "I love that it comes straight from your heart and your brilliant, creative mind. I'm so proud of you."
Alison went on to apologize to Chrissy for her harsh words, but has yet to receive a public response from her fellow foodie.
Lil Wayne Performs "Dreams" On "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"
Weezy, baby.
It’s Funeral season, so expect to see much more of Lil Wayne in the days to come. The rap icon released his 13th album last Friday (January 31), and since then, the Weezy takeover has been non-stop. The Funeral reviews have been positive thus far as outlets have stated that the project showcases the many faces of Lil Wayne throughout his career.

On Wednesday (February 5), Wayne took to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon stage for a live performance of his Funeral track “Dreams.” With The Roots backing him up, Weezy took center stage in a fur coat and sunglasses. “I’ve always been the artist that’s been left field,” the rapper recently told Entertainment Weekly. “I’ve always been whatever they want to call me, some Martian or whatever. I’ve always been that artist and that’s just the growth of who that artist is now.”
He was also asked about “Dreams,” a song where he reflects on having a nightmare that he was broke. “That [song] right there was just perfect,” Wayne said. “When I sang that hook I was like ‘Okay I got it.’ You know me, I’m a subject guy. You give me a subject, thank god I’m very creative with my words, and I have a wonderful personality, so I can stick to that subject real well and make something out of it. I’ve always been that guy.” Watch his Tonight Show performance below.
