Back at it again with the hottest thirst traps of the week that dropped during a shenanigan-stuffed week dominated by the electric Democratic National Convention, Jennifer Lopez slapping Ben Affleck with divorce papers, Ashanti and Nelly welcoming a baby boy, Beyoncé entering her whisky era, Cardi B blasting bleaching rumors, and more.

As promised, we’ve compiled swoon-worthy stunners (and our thirst-trappin’ celebrity faves) with DreamDoll making her return to the series after causing commotion by saying BBLs are going out of style.

“I feel like natural bodies and slim, slim thick [bodies] are in right now,” said The Impact: New York star on the The Zeze Millz show, revealing that she’s determined to transition back to her natural body.

When Millz asked the rapper if she thought BBLs were no longer in fashion, DreamDoll answered with a resounding, “Yeah!”

This isn’t the first time that DreamDoll has spoken out about her reconstructive journey.

In a 2022 interview with Angela Yee on her Lip Service podcast, the Bronx native opened up about the difficulties to remove her dangerous silicone butt injections and revealed that she had four reconstructive procedures to make her derriere appear more natural. 

When Yee asked the rapper what prompted her reconstructive journey, DreamDoll revealed that her butt shots were becoming painful.

“It hurts, pain, not wanting a big butt anymore,” the former Bad Girls Club star explained. “I got four reductions already. Its levels to this reducing sh*t so I’m just like — it’s way harder to take [the silicone] out [than to put it in]. People be like, ‘Oh it looks like she didn’t take anything out,’— B–ch I took this sh-t out four times, you’re not about to make me keep putting anesthesia in my body to please y’all a***, f**k that,” the rapper added. “I just wanted a more natural body, and I still do. So I’m just slowly getting there, slow takes time.”

This week’s thirst trap compilation also features Rubi Rose delivering heat along with Chlöe Bailey and Janelle Monáe and giving what needs to be gave.

There’s also big baddie energy from Teyana Taylor, Mia Mercy, and more so we invite you to enjoy our latest collection of top-tier thirst traps on the flip.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
