WELP: Study Shows Hollywood Loses Up To $30 Billion A Year By Undervaluing POC Projects

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 20:12 GMT

"Go, woke, go broke," they said... Source: PS Photography / Getty Here's a simple truth; for the overwhelming majority of the entertainment industry's history, no racial demographic has ever been more catered to than white people, because white people have always needed to see themselves on the screen. Because of this truth, film and TV studio executives have historically underestimated the profitability of Black-led projects. They have simply never been confident that movies and shows with directors of color and/or predominately POC casts could do the numbers white-led projects do. And it's for that reason that Hollywood gatekeepers are costing themselves billions in revenue every year due to racial inequality, according to a series of studies-one of which we reported on in 2021-published by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. The Hollywood Reporter reports that McKinsey & Company once again totaled up the potential financial revenue that Hollywood could stand to gain if it adopted more culturally inclusive business solutions. McKinsey reports that Hollywood could earn $10 billion per year by closing the Black inequity gap, $12 billion to $18 billion from properly valuing Latino professionals and consumers, and $2 billion to $4.4 billion from better getting into the Asian and Pacific Islander market. That number adds up to $30 billion a year. The latter figure is calculated based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data that Asian Americans earn on average 30 percent more than non-Asian Americans but spend 35 percent less on media. Meanwhile, McKinsey's own survey of API consumers found that nearly half would spend more money (49 percent) and time (47 percent) on film and television with more authentic representation. Put plainly; Asian Americans have a lot of money, and they would spend more of it on media if it better reflected them. Do y'all remember when movies and shows like Everything Everywhere All at Once, Parasite, Beef and Squid Game were sweeping awards shows and the racist and caucasity-infused "Go woke, go broke" collective was whining about "wokeness" infiltrating the Academy because they just couldn't conceive of the possibility that non-white creatives were more deserving of the recognition? Well, Hollywood is now suffering financially from that same attitude, and maybe it's time these executives understand for their own good that whiteness is not a prerequisite for popularity, let alone artistic quality. I mean, we're talking about up to $30 billion annually. That's what it's costing Hollywood to be racist AF. Is it really worth it? via: https://bossip.com/2643456/hollywood-2024-mckinsey-study/

Tamar Braxton Says She #RHOA Refuses To Be A Housewife-'It's Not Worth My Mental Energy'

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 19:28 GMT

Tamar Braxton has no intention of considering being a part of The Real Housewives of Atlanta despite fans and even NeNe Leakes previously suggesting that she would be a great addition. Source: Leon Bennett / Getty On April 22, Braxton, 47, spoke about her aversion to joining the Bravo hit series during a candid interview with Carlos King at his Reality With The King tour stop in Atlanta, according to TheJasmineBRAND. The "Love and War" hitmaker revealed that Bravo producers had approached in the past about joining the cast, but ultimately, she couldn't accept the offer. "I've had conversations but the truth is, there's just no way I'm going to sit for make-up, get a wig put on, get my make-up beat, to argue with a bunch of b*tches for nothing. I can't do it," Braxton said. Tamar Braxton Says She Turned Down #RHOA To Protect Her Mental Health Audience members reportedly speculated whether financial concerns were behind Braxton's reluctance, but the songstress clarified that money wasn't the issue.

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty She told fans she was more concerned about safeguarding her mental health, particularly considering RHOA's reputation for drama-filled storylines. "Let me tell you something, all money ain't good money," the R&B icon told King and audience members according to TheJasmineBRAND. "It's just not, and this is what I said, 'What's for me won't miss me.' It's not worth my mental energy to sit up here and get into an argument with another Black beautiful woman about nothing so other people can think this is what we're about. At some point, you have to [take] responsibility for what you put on the TV screen." She also said she was concerned about the future of the show. As of now Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore are reportedly the only veterans of the show set to star in the forthcoming season although Shere Whitfield is rumored to be part of the cast. Braxton added; "I don't want to be a part of that kind of television. I want to make feel good, funny, good, relatable, epic television [and] that's not that for me." Fans have been dying to see Braxton become a peach holder on RHOA for years. I hope that Tamar Braxton joins #RHOA and holds a peach ?? next season. — Ladybuglizzie ( Camp Nano '24) (@sagevalentine) April 12, 2019 I've said it for years Tamar Braxton would be a great #RHOA addition! Tamar, Kandi, Porsha, Kenya, Eva, Tanya & Cynthia would be a CAST! ?? pic.twitter.com/Kuoj48tyv1 — Real Housewives Heaven (@RHWHeaven) July 1, 2019 In 2022, before the launch of Season 12, NeNe Leakes - a former peach holder on the reality TV series - also said she would love to see "The Boss" hitmaker become a member of the #RHOA cast. The star stated that she would be willing to make it happen by taking "a peach from somebody that's holding one that don't need to hold one that's super boring." Leakes added; "Give it to somebody else, and mix it up... And half of the girls will be gone because they're so boring, chile," said NeNe while on IG Live with Tamar. I think Tamar would be a great addition. She's entertaining, so she's not boring... She's got a lot to say, she's opinionated. I'd love to see her come. I'd welcome her with open arms. Come to me Tamar!" Watch Video on YouTube Braxton's history of conflict with RHOA alum Kandi Burruss could have added an exciting storyline if she had joined the show. In 2022, the singer accused the Xscape hitmaker and her husband, Todd Tucker, of threatening her although the pair denied the claim. What do you think? Should Tamar Braxton reconsider her thoughts about joining #RHOA? via: https://bossip.com/2643365/tamar-braxton-real-housewives-of-atlanta/

Jeannie Mai Accuses Jeezy Of Abuse & Child Neglect, Rapper Calls Allegations 'False' & 'Deeply Distu

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 17:44 GMT

The ongoing divorce between Jeezy and Jeannie Mai has taken a turn now that Jeannie has alleged domestic violence and child neglect allegedly at the hands of the rapper. Jeezy has since responded calling the "false" and "deeply disturbing" allegations "a malicious attempt to tarnish his character." Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Jeannie Mai Details Alleged History Of Abuse By Jeezy On Thursday, The Shade Room obtained court documents describing "three to four incidents" of physical abuse against Jeannie. In the docs, Jeannie alleges that the rapper berated her, pushed her down the stairs, and even punched her in the face. The Shade Room reports that Jeannie who "mistakenly believed" he was a "changed man" said just three weeks after she gave birth to their daughter Monaco Mai Jenkins in January 2022, she was abused by the rapper in Miami. The host, 45, alleges that while in a parked car with the rapper, "Jeezy requested that the driver step outside the vehicle and begin to berate her while holding her against her will." At the time, he hurled insults such as "You wh*re!" and said, "I can't wait to divorce you when we get back." When Jeannie tried to escape, she alleges that Jeezy struck her with a closed fist across her cheekbone and eye causing her a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images Elsewhere in the court docs, Jeannie alleges that on April 14, 2022, at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco, Jeezy "choked her from behind as she was ascending the stairs", and then pushed her down them. She says she was verbally assaulted and called a "fu***ng bi***" by the rapper while he repeated, "I can do so much better than you." The incident reportedly happened in the hotel's lobby and security "intervened and provided Jeannie protection after she repeatedly said she felt unsafe." Citing the court docs, The Shade Room reports that Jeannie also said she was verbally abused at the UNCF 39th annual Atlanta Mayor's Masked Ball on December 17, 2022. During the UNCF event, Jeannie went to the restroom with her girlfriend, and Jeezy allegedly became enraged because he did not know her whereabouts for 25 minutes. He allegedly reacted by abruptly demanding that the two leave the party. Jeannie alleged that once they were inside the vehicle, the rapper asked the driver to exit and began to verbally abuse her while stopping her from exiting twice. On the second time, Jeannie alleges that he "grabbed the neckline of her dress, tearing the dress and causing multiple 2-3 inch scratches across her right breast with his fingernails."

Ne-Yo's Baby Mama Sade Bagnerise Accuses Singer Of 'Body Slamming' Her, Bringing Drugs & Prostitutes

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 16:50 GMT

Ne-Yo is up against some damning allegations from his ex-girlfriend and the mother of two of his children, Sade Bagnerise. Source: Roberto Ricciuti / Getty The singer, who is a father to seven children, shares sons Braiden and Brixton Smith with Bagnerise. The pair's relationship has always been tumultuous, beginning while Ne-Yo was still married to his now-ex-wife, Crystal Renay. The pair pursued a more conventional relationship following the crooner's divorce, but ultimately broke up, now co-parenting their two toddlers. Unfortunately, it seems like their lives have only gotten more complicated, with Sade accusing her ex-boyfriend of "body-slamming" her in an Instagram Live clip that surfaced on April 24. According to reports from HipHopDX, Bagnerise filmed Ne-Yo inside his home while accusing him of assault, also claiming the star exposed their children to drugs and prostitutes. "Tell them about the freak-off, Diddy Junior," Sade says in the clip while her ex-boyfriend plays a video game and their children sleep on the bed behind him. "He's calling the police, y'all...You know what you did - you body slammed me on the floor." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) To that assertion, Ne-Yo replied: "Is that what happened?" trying to talk over Sade and tell viewers that he wanted to get her out of his home because she was "causing a commotion." Later, Sade calls out her ex-boyfriend for "want[ing] hoes over at the house while his kids is here." "This n**** likes to have hoes, drugs, weed, alcohol, mushrooms and prostitutes in the house while his kids are here," she continued. "Everyone has asked him to stop, but he will not listen to nobody. This is what's going on. This is the tea." She went on to explain that she came over to the house to help him look after their children, claiming Ne-Yo "won't watch" them. Ne-Yo has yet to respond to Sade's claims. Last year, the former couple was involved in a legal dispute over their sons, with Bagnerise filing for primary custody and immediate monthly child support. While the singer acknowledged that Sade's eldest child was his, he wanted a DNA test to establish whether he was also the father of her youngest son-which eventually confirmed that both of the children were his. According to The Shade Room, the pair reportedly settled on "joint legal custody" of the children. Sade has since responded to detractors calling the situation "karma" since Ne-Yo impregnated her while he was married to Crystal Renay Smith. "Y'all sit here flip-flopping speaking on shii y'all know NOTHING ABOUT," wrote Sade. "Y'sll, swear I was that lady karma and now y'all swear this mine. So wtf yall got bf and bad problems fa? Lmao y'all shit just not on the Internet."

Bout Damn Time: Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy Reinstated After BS Forfeiture Over 'Illegal' Bene

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:40 GMT

Source: MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images / Getty Reggie Bush has been vindicated. After years of being persona non grata from college football and being stripped of his rightfully earned Heisman Trophy, the former USC Trojan has had his title reinstated following a decision by the Heisman Trust according to CBS News. Bush has not been officially recognized as a Heisman winner since 2010 when the NCAA decided that he and his family had received improper benefits. The Heisman Trust had previously stated that they would return Bush's trophy if the NCAA decided to reinstate his college records. Welcome Home! We are reinstating the 2005 Heisman Trophy to the University of Southern California's @ReggieBush! In 2005, Bush gained more than 2000 yards from scrimmage and scored 18 touchdowns. He received 784 first-place votes, the fifth-most in Heisman Trophy history, while... pic.twitter.com/34oCD7P8CY — The Heisman Trophy (@HeismanTrophy) April 24, 2024 But let's keep it a buck, this decision has much less to do with the NCAA records than it does with good PR. NIL (name, image, and likeness) deals have changed college athletics forever and it looks janky as hell to condemn Reggie Bush for something that thousands of "amateur" athletes are now openly and happily benefitting from. "We are thrilled to welcome Reggie Bush back to the Heisman family in recognition of his collegiate accomplishments," Heisman Trust president Michael Comerford said according to CBS. "We considered the enormous changes in college athletics over the last several years in deciding that now is the right time to reinstate the Trophy for Reggie. We are so happy to welcome him back." Sure, Jan. At a ceremony, Bush spoke about what this reinstatement means to him after all these years of turmoil. "I am grateful to once again be recognized as the recipient of the Heisman Trophy," Bush said. "This reinstatement is not only a personal victory but also a validation of the tireless efforts of my supporters and advocates who have stood by me throughout this arduous journey." Bout. Damn.

Clock App Abolishment: TikTok Banned By Biden Administration In US Unless Chinese Company Sells It W

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 19:25 GMT

Welp, it happened. The Biden administration has officially banned TikTok in the U.S. and plans to keep the ban in place unless the platform's Chinese owner sells the company within a year. After the grace period has expired, "the law would make it illegal for web-hosting services to support TikTok, and it would force Google and Apple to remove TikTok from app stores - rendering the app unusable with time," according to NPR. Source: Chesnot / Getty President Joe Biden signed the law banning the popular site made even more popular by the rhythm and style of Black creatives on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean users are immediately barred from creating and sharing content because a buyer would still need to be found, and because ByteDance, the China-based company that currently owns TikTok, is not going to take the American government's anti-China tech warmongering laying down. Shortly after the bill banning the platform was signed into law, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew released a video on TikTok vowing to fight the move and expressing confidence that the company would win in court and that America's own Constitution is on their side. @tiktok Response to TikTok Ban Bill ? original sound - TikTok - TikTok "Rest assured, we aren't going anywhere," Chew said. "The facts and the Constitution are on our side and we expect to prevail again." The company's position is that banning the platform in the states would suppress the free speech of millions of Americans, and Kate Ruane, who runs the Center for Democracy & Technology's Free Expression Project and happens to be an American, feels the same way. "Congress shouldn't be in the business of banning platforms," NPR reports Ruane said. "They should be working to enact comprehensive privacy legislation that protects our private data no matter where we choose to engage online." Ruane was referencing the official reason Congress has given for banning the site, which is that it's a security precaution aimed at protecting our data and personal information. "Congress is not acting to punish ByteDance, TikTok, or any other individual company," said Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee. "Congress is acting to prevent foreign adversaries from conducting espionage, surveillance, maligned operations, harming vulnerable Americans, our servicemen and women, and our U.S. government personnel." Regardless of who you believe, it's substantial news considering this is the first time a social media platform has been banned from the U.S. for any reason. And it's worth noting that the signing of the bill has done nothing but become more and more popular with American users. Under ByteDance's watch, TikTok has seen nothing but success and an increase in its value, which means the purchase has had the opposite effect that the purchase of the platform formerly known as Twitter has had since Elon Musk has been at the helm. So, the question is this: Is it really a data security issue, or is the U.S. government so afraid of Chinese power that it's just a little bit jealous that China, apparently, does the social media thing better than we do? Because, honestly, this ban gives off big hater energy. Just sayin', most people just block a social media user if they're posting things we don't want to see, but America is like, "Nah, throw the whole platform away!" via: https://bossip.com/2643037/tiktok-banned-biden-administration/

Amanda Seales Speaks On Feeling Shunned In Hollywood & Effortlessly Eviscerates Emmanuel Acho On 'Cl

While recalling her childhood memories working for Disney and Nickelodeon, she revealed that her experiences were different from those depicted in the Quiet on Set documentary, though she did face racism from other children. BlackAmericaWeb reports that in the interview, Seales delves into her recent Autism diagnosis, also discussing the challenges she has faced due to certain misconceptions about her personality. "When all of this started ballooning out of nowhere - people were saying, 'You're unlikeable and you're a bully' - no, not you're a bully - you're being bullied and these were things...these were tropes that have been associated with me before," she said during the episode. "But, I'm in a new level of visibility at this juncture and you get people saying things like, 'You are difficult, you are mean, you are nasty'...and you know that you're none of these things," Seales continued. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Urban One Podcast Network (@urban1podcasts) The comedian and actress also opened up about the backlash women's basketball star Angel Reese received for her post-game interview after LSU's NCAA tournament loss. During her emotional interview, Reese revealed that she has been sexualized and received death threats throughout her time in the spotlight. Emmanuel Acho's response to the interview garnered a lot of backlash, saying on Speak, "Angel Reese, you can't be the big bad wolf and then kind of cry like Courage the Cowardly Dog...Nobody mourns when the villain catches an L, and, Angel Reese, you're self-proclaimed to be the villain."

According to a 2023 report from The Jasmine Brand, Bravo insiders suggested that only a maximum of three current peach holders would likely receive a return contract, which could result in changes to the lineup of housewives. A few new stars are allegedly set to appear in the forthcoming series but due to budget constraints, insiders claimed that #RHOA may only select emerging socialites to join the cast instead of major celebrities. In Shere 's most recent IG post, she captioned, "SHE gets her way" and hashtagged "NoDiscountsGiven" sparking speculation that she successfully renegotiated her #RHOA contract.

Brittney Griner Says She Had Suicidal Thoughts While In Russian Detainment-'I Was Just So Scared'

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:30 GMT

Brittney Griner is opening up about the harrowing experience she had in Russia, from her February 2022 arrest to her nine-year prison sentence before her December 2022 release. Source: Steph Chambers / Getty On May 1, viewers will be able to hear for the first time, a detailed first-hand account of the experiences, thoughts, and trauma suffered by the WNBA star who spent 10 months detained in a Russian prison over a minuscule amount of cannabis oil she was caught with at a Moscow airport. ABC News recently released a trailer of the 33-year-old's appearance on Good Morning America and a special edition of 20/20. Watch Video on YouTube "I was just so scared for everything because there's so much unknown," Griner told GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts. The trailer shows Roberts asking Griner-who pleaded guilty to drug charges in July 2022, two months after the U.S. classified her as "wrongfully detained"-about what she felt on Feb. 15, 2022, at the moment she was instructed to reach into her bag at the Russian airport and she felt the cartridges of hashish oil in her luggage. "My life is over right here," Griner said of her thoughts in that moment. According to PEOPLE, viewers will also hear Griner's recollection of conditions she faced while inside Russia's infamous penal colony, which she describes as making her feel "less than a human." Those conditions, according to Griner, included a prison mattress that "had a huge blood stain on it" and that she was made to live with "no soap," and "no toilet paper."

Source: The Washington Post / Getty The nine-time WNBA All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist also talked to Robers about experiencing suicidal thoughts and actually having a readily available knife that would help her carry out those suicidal impulses. The 20/20 special, titled "Prisoner in Russia: The Brittney Griner Interview," will also feature interviews with Griner's wife Cherelle Griner, her agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas, and Special Presidential Envoy of Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens, and it will air just six days before the May 7 release of her memoir revolving around her detainment in Russia, titled Coming Home. via: https://bossip.com/2642676/brittney-griner-20-20-interview/

Suge Knight Slams Drake's 'Taylor Made Freestyle' For Using 2pac's Voice- 'He Never Was A Pawn'

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 18:30 GMT

Suge Knight & 2PAC Source: Nitro / Getty Even from behind bars, Suge Knight is expressing his feelings about Drake using AI Tupac for his Kendrick Lamar diss. While some Hip-Hop fans are enjoying the onslaught of ongoing beefs, some people are not as pleased with the tactics being used in the war. Kendrick Lamar's verse on "Like That" targeting Drake and J. Cole has spawned several responses and responses to those responses. After Drake fired back at Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" diss aimed at him and J. Cole with "Taylor Made Freestyle," the Internet has mixed reactions to his use of an A.I. Tupac and Snoop Dogg. According to Complex, during his podcast Collect Call With Suge Knight the former mogul spoke on the track and it's clear he's displeased, but maybe not for the reason you'd think. "Young people do what young people do. It's y'all turn, but regarding the homie 'Pac, he wasn't no chump," Knight said. "Putting him on a song and dissing Kendrick for everybody entertainment-that ain't how it go." According to Suge, putting Tupac and Snoop on the same track wasn't "a good look" because Snoop was "part of the rapper's downfall." Watch Video on YouTube "Then putting him on a song with Snoop, who was a part of his downfall and exit, ain't ever a good look," Knight added. "'Pac was a king on that chessboard. He never was a pawn, so he can't make him be a pawn now." View this post on Instagram A post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg) Tupac's Family Weighed In On Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" According to TMZ, 2Pac's brother Morpheme Shakir thinks Pac was "weaponized" and wants the beef to stay between the two rappers. Mopreme told the outlet that Drake using Pac's voice is like "bringing out a tank, or even going with a nuclear option", which he's against since he thinks the battle should be 1-on-1 ... with no outside help. Ultimately however the brother said that he likes hearing his brother's voice on the track.

Gorgeous Goon Monica Opens Up About Her Love Life In 'HelloBeautiful' Cover Story, Explains Saying '

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:07 GMT

Our favorite gorgeous goon Monica is embracing love alongside motherhood as she reaches new heights in her career. In her recent cover story with HelloBeautiful, the songstress delved into the intricacies of her romantic journey while opening up about adoring her new partner, Anthony "Ant" Wilson, a distinguished TV and film executive, whom she "went through lessons" to prepare for. Source: Dalvin Adams / for HelloBeautiful Before discovering happiness with her new boo, the cover star for HelloBeautiful's Mother's Day issue revealed that there were occasions when her love and "loyalty" as a committed partner were exploited.

Source: Dalvin Adams / for HelloBeautiful "I love extremely hard and that sometimes has caused me to be hurt in tremendous manners," Monica who says she can forgive because she holds herself accountable for "her part" in any situation. "I've learned the ride-or-die mentality will sometimes allow people to just ride completely over you, found myself in my loyalty and in my dedication to people that did not share the same in return for me," she added. "For years I thought letting go was wrong because I put that in the same package as loyalty. I guess I was about 30 years old when I truly understood it."

Source: Dalvin Adams / for HelloBeautiful Although she did not mention his name, the R&B luminary famously dated incarcerated rapper, C-Murder, for over a decade. She even demonstrated unwavering affection for the emcee after he was sentenced to life in prison for his alleged role in a 2002 shooting near a Louisiana nightclub. When fans inquired about the status of her relationship with the former No-Limit rapper in 2023, she openly acknowledged that she had been "heartbroken" by C-Murder. While the music veteran may have given "the right thing to some of the wrong people" in the past, Monica is now basking in a healthy romance with Wilson. "I needed those lessons so that I could be prepared for what I'm being blessed with now....I think that we can love the right way, but it not be the right person." HelloBeautiful notes that through her children, the singer has experienced unconditional love; now, "she's feeling what it feels like to be loved by a man with her best interest at heart." Monica Dishes On Her New Man, Anthony "Ant" Wilson In October 2023, romance rumors began swirling about Monica and Wilson, after the latter sent a loving message to the singer for her 43rd birthday. The Georgia native, who has kept her love life with the BMF producer rather private, said their relationship "has been amazing" so far.

Source: Dalvin Adams / for HelloBeautiful When questioned about her favorite attributes of Wilson, the songstress, fondly dubbed "Goonica" for her unabashed demeanor and outspoken nature, expressed admiration for Wilson's nurturing affection, which has gently "softened" her rough edges. Monica believes she has truly fallen in love for the first time. "When you fall in love with someone that's been your friend for a very long time, I think it's different. This is the first time it's ever happened to me. So I'm new in the space, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I'm enjoying being supported. I'm enjoying being really loved in a way that allows me to be a lot softer than I typically am," the star told HelloBeautiful's Shamika Sanders. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Fan Page (MonicaSofresh) (@monicasofresh) Monica Says She Admires Wilson's Willingness To Take The Lead Wilson has a knack for problem-solving, extending beyond just household tasks. Monica credited her new partner for playing a pivotal role in advancing her music career.

Source: Dalvin Adams / for HelloBeautiful "One of the things that stands out to me most that he consistently does is fix things. And I don't mean physically fixing them, but I mean, in any capacity, if I'm looking for it, it helps that he's very knowledgeable about the business and he runs several businesses of his own, but he's able to help me do things that I've always had to do alone," she continued. "In taking some of the burden off my back on a daily basis allows me to be more free, even with the children or in other places, I can think about so many other things because if he calls me and he hears the slightest bit of stress in my voice, whatever I tell him is wrong. He fixes it. And that's something I've never experienced before, ever." Monica added; "In my relationship now, I don't have to take over. I don't have to overthink anything really. I can just be myself, express myself, explain what's happening in my daily, and he just fixes it. The most important thing about him that I think people would be surprised because he's so stern in business, is that he is the ultimate family man. He can tell you where all of my children are most of the day. He loves to, to, to make sure that his relationship with them is intact. Not in a way that seems forced, but natural. Whatever it is they love, he goes to that, meet me, meets them where they are." Elsewhere in the interview, the proud mom dives deep into her relationships with her kids; Laiyah, Rodney Hill Jr., Romelo Hill, and Ramone Hill.

Check out the X-cellent trailer below: Watch Video on YouTube Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool & Wolverine stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. "As far as crafting the Deadpool and Wolverine story, I just felt privileged every day because you're talking about two massive movie stars in their most iconic roles," said Levy in an interview with Screen Rant at CinemaCon. "It also gave me an opportunity. It's the third Deadpool movie, but it's not Deadpool 3. It's a different thing that's very much Deadpool and Wolverine. And it's not trying to copycat anything from the first two movies. They were awesome, but this is a two-hander character adventure." Back in January, Jackman (who's reprising his role as Wolverine for the first time since 2017's Logan) showed love to his co-star and director while getting groomed (for a scene?) in a barber chair. "What a ride! I've loved every minute of making this movie. Well ... not the 4a training or the steamed fish and veg 4 x a day for 6 months but the other 93.2%. A collective thank you to the entire cast and crew. You are all aces! If you're reading this and think I mean you, I do.

Stephen Jackson Blasts Gayle King For 'Demeaning' Dawn Staley In Interview About South Carolina Cham

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 20:33 GMT

Source: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for Jazz At Lincoln Center/Ron Jenkins/ Getty Basketball fans stopped everything they were doing to watch Dawn Staley and her South Carolina Gamecocks women's team make history with an undefeated season and an NCAA national championship. Not only did the Lady Cocks win, but they also beat the biggest and most talked about playing in college hoops men or women in Caitlin Clark. The sports media spend significantly more time talking about Clark and her quest to avenge last season's championship loss to Angel Reese and the ladies of LSU and win a ring of her own in her final year wearing an Iowa jersey. According to DailyMail, during a recent interview about her big win, Dawn Staley spoke to Gayle King, and a comment that King made rubbed Stephen Jackson the wrong way: "We were all cheering for Iowa, of course, and Caitlin Clark," said King. Stephen Jackson, one half of the All The Smoke podcast, recently took to social media to share some harsh words for "Oprah's friend." 'I don't give a f*** whose friend she is.

John Legend 'Ordinary People' Pummels Tang-Tinted Trump As A 'Tried & True Racist ' Who Has 'Done Ve

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 19:35 GMT

John Legend is NOT "ordinary people" when it comes to speaking his mind. The soul crooner recently said flat-out that he believes Donald Trump is racist. Not only does he think Trump is a "dyed-in-the-wool" racist, but he believes that the commander-in-lying-and-losing is an anti-Black bigot "to his core," and, well, we just caaaaaan't imagine why. (Insert sarcasm here) Source: Taylor Hill/WireImage/ James Devaney/GC Images / Getty "When we protested the killing of George Floyd, he was advocating for the military to shoot us in the streets," Legend told MSNBC's Jen Psaki on Sunday. "He has made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior. Like, he believes that, to his core, in his bones." Watch Video on YouTube OK-OK, John, calm down. Look, just because Trump wanted to use BLM protesters as target practice the year before he instigated the Jan. 6 Crazy Caucasians Can't Coup Right rebellion at the U.S. Capitol doesn't mean he's racist. Next thing you know, the "Everyday People" singer will be calling Trump a Republi-Klan just because he told Black and brown congresswomen to "go back where they came from", despite them all being born and/or raised in America. I mean, geez, an orangey-white man can't even refer to African nations as "sh*thole countries," generalize Mexican migrants and rapists and drug dealers, compare Sount American migrants to Hannibal Lecter, and call them "animals" who are "not human" without everyone calling him a racist these days. So Trump hates brown immigrants but wishes the U.S. received more white immigrants from "nice" European countries-does that truly make him a rust-encrusted white nationalist? Anyway, Legend had more harsh words for the guy he so unfairly thinks is racist just because former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke accused him of jacking his political style. Legend correctly noted that the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Trump over anti-Black housing discrimination in the '70s, and said the ex-president "believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity, and it's racially determined." "He is a tried and true, dyed-in-the-wool racist," Legend said. "In the core of his being, he is a racist. So I don't want to hear what he has to say about what he's done for Black people. He's done very little for us, and he is, at his core, truly, truly a racist." Come on, now. Just stop with the race-baiting, John. I mean, anybody can bring up old sh*t like the time Trump said, "Laziness is a trait in Blacks," or new sh*t like when Trump said: "The lights are so bright in my eyes I can't see too many people out there. But I can only see the Black ones. I can't see any white ones. That's how far I've come." Legend should be ashamed for calling that man a racist Tang-tinted white devil as if he spearheaded the propaganda-reliant attack on critical race theory, issued an executive order banning diversity training in the workplace during his presidency, and is now promising to end all DEI programs across America if he's elected again. Let that man whine about the renaming of Confederate monuments, call for the execution of the Central Park Five, and lie about Black people's economic gains during his presidency in peace. If Trump was racist, would he be out here comparing himself to Nelson Mandela and claiming his mugshot and criminal indictments gave him street cred with Black America?

'GloLillard' Get-Back: GloRilla Trolls Damian Lillard's Ex With Custom Jersey Of Nickname From 'Sist

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 19:05 GMT

GloRilla didn't let Damian Lillard's wife get in the way of shooting her shot, and her new fashion statement says she won't let Kay'la Lillard's love triangle trolling slide, either. Source: Christopher Polk / Getty GloRilla had to get her lick back after Kay'la's social media shade. She took to Instagram this weekend to poke fun at her new nickname. TMZ reports GloRilla posted clips of herself dancing in a yellow crop top-style jersey with "GloLillard" on the back. Like Rihanna showing love for LeBron, Glo had to include her favorite baller's number, "0."

Damian Lillard's Estranged Wife Kay'la Lillard Took "Sister Wife" Shot At GloRilla's DUI Arrest When news broke of the Ehhthang Ehhthang star's recent DUI arrest, her haters thought it was time to take a victory lap. GloRilla's most recent beef was with JT about "slapping rap b***hes." Yet, it was a basketball wife who had the most to say after Glo's got locked up. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) As BOSSIP previously reported, Damian's soon-to-be ex-wife couldn't wait to crack jokes about GloRilla's DUI arrest. She took to Instagram with a screenshot of the "Wanna Be" rapper's mugshot. Kay'la added a super petty caption for her "#sisterwife." "Free GloLillard," she wrote in the caption with a laughing emoji. How The Beef Began Between GloRilla And Kay'la Lillard

Source: Ethan Miller / Getty It's no surprise GloRilla is willing to finish this beef with Kay'la Lillard because that's the same energy Glo had when she started it. In Feb., the Memphis rapper took to X to shoot her shot at the Milwaukee Bucks baller. And she didn't care about any woman standing in the way, including his wife. "Who n**** dis is? Cause I want him #GetEmGlo. Whoever she is can't whoop me so I really dgaf," she wrote. Although Damian is still technically married, he filed for divorce immediately after the announcement of his move to the Midwest. After two years of marriage, he listed irreconcilable differences in the filing. "At the end of the day, the day gotta end," and Glo still might end up making the GloLillard joke more than a punchline if her pettiness prevails. via: https://bossip.com/2642210/glorilla-glolillard-custom-jersey-damian-lillard-kay-la-lillard/

Poolside Philandering Proclamation: Falynn Pina Alleges Porsha Williams & Simon Guobadia Were Alread

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 18:13 GMT

Falynn Pina believes that Porsha Williams was sleeping with her ex-husband, Simon Guobadia, while she was still married to the Nigerian businessman. The mom is so confident about it, that she's alleging that despite the infamous pool scene where the housewife met Simon in front of #RHOA cameras, the two had been secretly smashing for "over a year." Source: Prince Williams/Wire Image/ Paras Griffin / Getty The former Real Housewives Of Atlanta (RHOA) star made the eyebrow-raising allegation during an interview on The Baller Alert Show on April 12. While discussing the state of her relationship with Williams, Pina, 34, claimed that the Go Naked Hair co-founder and her former husband were involved in a sexual relationship while she was still legally married. She was allegedly unaware of their creeping until Williams' ex-fianc , Dennis McKinley, dropped the bomb about their secret canoodling when the two met up to discuss business at Atlanta's popular Cru Lounge. "Dennis was the one who told me. He came to me. He apologized," Pina told The Baller Alert Show hosts BT, Ferrari Simmons, Octavia March, and Tamira Smith.

Dennis McKinley, Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The model and mother, who was recently spotted helping McKinley promote his cognac brand Nyak, continued; "We met up at Cru one night and he was like he wanted to talk to me about business or whatever but I guess it was bothering him. And he apologized for everything he was like, 'Falynn, I thought you knew the whole time they were f****g around... All of Atlanta knew. How did you miss that?' I said, 'I wasn't allowed out like that. So, why would I?' Which makes sense now." During the conversation with Pina, McKinley, who shares a 5-year-old daughter named Pilar Jhena McKinley with Williams, repeatedly apologized for his former fianc e's questionable actions. He was under the impression that Pina was fully aware of Guobadia's and Williams' fling. "He was like, 'I'm so sorry. Now it makes me look at my baby momma a certain way because she told me the whole time that you knew about everything, that you were cool with her sleeping with Simon,'" Pina recalled of her conversation with the liquor entrepreneur. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Baller Alert Show (@theballeralertshow) The shocking allegations didn't end there. Pina went on to claim that Williams and Guobadia had been involved with each other for a year before she appeared alongside the RHOA veteran on Season 13 of the Bravo hit series. Supposedly, Pina's first meeting with Williams was when she invited the housewife, her sister Lauren, and her friend Tanya to a pool party during Season 13. At the time, she had no clue Williams and Guobadia were allegedly creeping with one another. "That's why I went back and watched it.... And when I looked at it. And when I say, 'Oh yeah, we are about to do a ring upgrade,' she was like, 'Oh,'" Pina said, as she mimicked Williams' look of surprise. Watch Video on YouTube Falynn Pina Said She Believes Williams & Guobadia's Relationship Was A "Ploy" Williams jumped the broom with Pina's ex-husband, Guobadia, in 2022, after the latter finalized her divorce from the Nigerian millionaire. At the time, the RHOA veteran, who was once "cool" with the mother of four, vehemently denied being romantically involved with the SIMCOL Petroleum founder during their divorce process. Now, Williams has filed for divorce from the wealthy entrepreneur. Pina told the Baller Alert hosts that she wasn't surprised when she found out about the pair's split. She asserted that their relationship was fake and described it as a "ploy" aimed at retaliation against her.

"That wouldn't be a safe scenario...At the end of the day, she knows what she did. It can play out in the media, however...I know what she did, Simon knows what she did, Porsha knows what she did...I wouldn't even put myself in a predicament of even allowing that...Talk to her? Ain't gon' be no talking," Pina said. Now, #RHOA Fans Are Raising An Eyebrow At Falynn For Her Burgeoning Business Relationship With Dennis McKinley On April 12, the two stars joined forces to promote McKinley's cognac brand, Nyak, at a store located on Eastern Boulevard in Montgomery, according to a video shared on the My Husband Is My Best Friend YouTube page. In the 9-minute video, McKinley was seen signing bottles of his cognac liquor and greeting fans. Pina took a shot of the "smooth" liquor and interacted with McKinley and the customers as they stopped by to try out the drink. Understandably, social media users raised an eyebrow at Pina and McKinley's work relationship and wondered if the pair were trying to throw shade at their former spouses.

Kanye & Drake - Source: Cole Burston/ Scott Dudelson/ Getty Kanye West recently revealed how his "Like That" remix came together and said everyone in the studio was excited about the "elimination of Drake." Hip-hop is experiencing a fascinating moment in which the top guy has to be dethroned in the eyes of his peers as Drake is officially in a 20 vs 1 beef that spawned from Metro Boomin and Future's We Don't Trust You album. "Like That" quickly became the biggest single from the project because of Kendrick Lamar's diss to J. Cole and Drake. Now "Like That" is picking up more steam thanks to Kanye West releasing his remix.

"Pluto [Future] called me," Ye said revealing how his "Like That" remix came to fruition in the studio. "I went to the studio, laid that, and then we went through the creative process of adding the chords, called the Hooligans, called 'em out in London to get on the joint. Everybody is very, very excited about the elimination of Drake. Not excited. We was energized." Kanye speaks on the creation of the 'Like That' (Remix) ...

Elsewhere in his Justin LaBoy interview, Ye alleges Drake's numbers and reign are backed by UMG's top boss Lucian Grainge who is Drizzy's "rich baby daddy." "Drake has a rich baby daddy named Lucian and Universal," Ye claimed. "He's like, you know, 'Man, my daddy got it. My daddy control the spins. My daddy got the DSPs. Drake has a rich baby named Lucian." Drake responded to the first round of foes with "Push Ups," then he dropped a direct response for Kendrick Lamar with "Taylor Made Freestyle" putting on a clinic of AI, rapping, and SEO manipulation. We wonder what he'll say in response to Kanye next. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6ElpQMLJDE/ At this point, the entire feud with him has too many cooks in the kitchen, but Drake seems ready for whatever they cook up. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is absent from the circus and likely protecting his peace. We know for sure however that this beef isn't ending anytime soon. He also said...

Now it looks like Ray J might be ready to do the same. The newly single singer promised, "All you going to see is bad b**ches and p***y." So linking with "Suki With The Good C****ie" makes perfect sense. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez) The entrepreneur is back outside with Sukihana by his side since Princess filed for their fourth turn at divorce. Suki's latest post about her luxury shopping spree with Ray J sparked even more specualtion that they're dating. On Saturday, Sukihana took to Instagram to show off the new assets Ray J added to her collection.

The carousel also included Suki stepping out of a private jet and into a Rolls Royce with her daughter. Secure the bag, Suki!

Safaree also has a show on the network, but "One Wish" didn't buy up a mall for his boy. It's unclear if Ray J is keeping it strictly business with the Baddies East star or if they're collaborating on more than TV. Either way, their combined chaos will be entertaining.

Social media buzzed as they realized the lyrics are a reference to North West, Kim K and Kanye West's oldest daughter, dancing along to Shake It Off in a TikTok. taylor swift just made a diss track about kim kardashian in 2024 #TSTTPD??? pic.twitter.com/7ZgFU9iatQ — _ZEPHYR_8_ (@Zephyr_8______) April 19, 2024 Many fans also speculate that the title of the song directly calls the beauty mogul out. The title has all lowercase letters with the acceptation of the letter that spell out "KIM." The song speaks to Swift reaching great heights in her career because of the hardships she's faced. Listeners suspect that Kim is the "aIMee" character that Swift refers to throughout the song. In a shocking additional lyric, the Blank Space singer stated that her mother wished that "aIMee" was dead. Watch Video on YouTube Kardashian has not made public statement, but RadarOnline reported that the mother of four posted a picture to her Instagram story of her and friend out at dinner seemingly unbothered by the supposed diss track. Where Did All The Beef Begin?

Source: Kevin Mazur/MTV1415 / Getty Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have had a fractured relationship for nearly a decade. It all began in 2009 when Kanye West infamously stormed the stage during Swifts acceptance speech at the VMAs. Many years later in 2016, West released his album, Life of Pablo. Famous, a song on the album, featured the lyrics "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous." As expected, fans began to ridicule the rapper for the lyric. However, he claimed he received permission from Swift to use the bar. The Bad Blood singer never directly responded to the song, but in her acceptance speech for Album of Year at the 2016 Grammy Awards, she stated, "As the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame." After hearing the speech, Kim Kardashian decided to enter the chat. While speaking with GQ, the SKIMS founder stated that Swift "totally knew that was coming out." She further addressed the issue on the former reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and doubled down on defending her husband. Immediately after the episode aired, Kim K took it a step further and released video footage of the phone call between her husband and Swift. In the video, the singer was reportedly delighted with the lyric and considered it a compliment. Swift quickly responded with a lengthy statement denying that the full story was being told. It wasn't until 2020 that the singer cleared her name in a leak of the full conversation between Swift and West. It showed that Swift never directly gave West permission and that she didn't know all of the lyrics. via: https://bossip.com/2641613/kim-kardashian-diss-on-new-taylor-swift-album-tortured-poets-department/

Blac Chyna And Tyga No Longer Tussling Over Son, King Cairo, Reach Settlement In Custody Battle

(@blacchyna) After a long custody battle with the father of her child, rapper Tyga, the pair have finally come to an agreement for their son, King Cairo. According to Yahoo, Blac Chyna, born Angela White, and Tyga, born Michael Stevenson, have finally reached an amicable decision about visitation, custody and their individual legal fees. "Parties have reached agreements on child custody, visitation, and payment of their respective attorney's fees. In light of these agreements, the parties wish to conclude this matter without further litigation," the outlet reports. "Both parties acknowledge that they have entered into this Stipulation and Order voluntarily and free of any duress or undue influence." The pair will no longer meet in court to discuss the proceedings. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Blac Chyna ?? (@blacchyna) The bad blood between the coparents began when the 24-year-old rapper began dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner...while he was engaged to Chyna. At the time, Chyna was also good friends with Jenner's older sister, Kim Kardashian. The whole mess unfolded as the reality TV culture vultures continued their rise to superstardom. It ended in a nasty split between Chyna, Tyga and the Kardashian klan. In an interview with US Weekly, Chyna spoke about the details of the messy plot line, "'Then her little sister [Kyle Jenner] started talking to Tyga, which was kind of crazy because she was underage. Everybody, kind of, came at me and started attacking me. Nobody's seen the betrayal that went on behind my back of me talking to somebody, Kim, and then her little sister-who she has no control over-started talking to my fianc . Then I get attacked. How does that work?'" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Blac Chyna ?? (@blacchyna) Chyna would later get her lick back when she started a relationship with the sole male heir of the Kardashian empire, Rob. The pair's love affair resulted in the birth of their daughter, Dream, and a short-lived reality show of their own called Rob & Chyna, of course. The pair's breakup would also spark a legal battle between Chyna and the Kardashians. She claimed the family "destroyed her television career" by making disparaging remarks about her. In 2017, a Los Angeles court dismissed her case against the famous family. These days, Chyna seems to be making peace with everyone and getting settled into her new chapter as Angela White.

UPDATE: Torso And Arm Found In The Tragic Case Of Sade Robinson In Lake Michigan

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 19:23 GMT

Source: GoFundMe / GoFundMe MILWAUKEE, WI - A shocking and heart-wrenching chapter has unfolded in the tragic disappearance of 19-year-old Sade Robinson, whose case gripped the Milwaukee community since early April. This Thursday morning, a grim discovery was made along a secluded, tree-lined stretch of beach in South Milwaukee. A torso and an arm believed to belong to Robinson were found near an apartment complex, adding to the eerie findings that punctuated this horrifying tale. ?? After the tragic incident with Sade Robinson, it's clear we need urgent awareness. Similar cases like Lauren Smith-Fields and Asia Maynard show a disturbing trend. Black women facing deadly risks on first online dates. pic.twitter.com/E6xZL0kvBI — YT: Broken Traditions (@brokentraditi0n) April 20, 2024 Chilling Discovery of Remains It was a somber day on the beach when additional remains of Robinson were located by an unsuspecting passerby-washed up on the coast. This discovery follows the unsettling find earlier this month when someone discovered a leg, later DNA matched to Robinson, down a bluff in nearby Warnimont Park. These remains paint a gruesome scene that has shaken locals to their core. Charges Against Maxwell Anderson As BOSSIP previously reported, a rapid response by law enforcement, Maxwell Anderson, 33, of Milwaukee, faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson. Anderson, apprehended on April 4, just two days after the initial find, is now a central figure in a case that has turned from a missing person investigation into something much more sinister. Last Sighting Of Sade Robinson And Heartfelt Pleas Robinson, reported missing by a friend on April 2, was last seen in public on April 1. Surveillance footage from that night shows her at a bar with Anderson. Her burned-out vehicle was discovered hours later the following morning. The footage of Robinson's last sighting leads to a flurry of questions about the events of that fateful night. Sade Robinson was only 19 years old. She was excited to go on a date with 33 year old Maxwell Anderson on April 1st. On April 2 her co-workers called in for a welfare check, then her body parts started showing up through Milwaukee. He's a monster. pic.twitter.com/44SUTfDmJb — AskAubry ?? (@ask_aubry) April 18, 2024 Legal Proceedings Take Shape With the investigation deepening, Maxwell Anderson remains on a $5 million bond. A preliminary examination will take place this coming Monday. Authorities will scrutinize the details of the case and chart the legal path forward. FOLLOW-UP SEARCH: Investigators back at suspected killer, Maxwell Anderson's home tonight. This - one day after Sade Robinson's loved ones turned the front yard pink in her memory. Almost all of the pink items were cleaned up this morning, but the tributes continued to pour in. pic.twitter.com/FW5r4l0YnX — Kendall Keys (@KendallKeysTV) April 17, 2024 The Suspected Killer's Father Mourns With A Family's Anguish According to CBS News, Steven Anderson, father of the accused, released a statement extending his family's condolences to the Robinsons. "We are shocked and devastated by her senseless death," Steven said. Anderson's father shared deep sorrow and sympathy for the unimaginable pain of Sade's family. He spoke to the shaken community with remorse for the family grappling with the actions of his son "To Sade's mother and father, words cannot express our sorrow for the incomprehensible pain and grief you are going through," he said. No Other Victims Suspected Amidst the ongoing investigation, law enforcement sources have indicated that they do not believe Maxwell Anderson has other victims. This detail, while providing slight reassurance, does little to mitigate the gravity of the crimes committed. Community in Mourning As the Milwaukee community reels from these developments, a collective sense of mourning lingers. Black women are continuing to search for spaces where they can find love safely. This brutal end to a young life is a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the dating pool. No amount of precautions will truly make the world a safer place as long as violence against women remains normalized and blamed on the victims, especially when they're Black women. Even the vulgarity of the violence can't dim the light of #SadeRobinson, described as "a loving daughter, a cherished sister, and a dear friend." Let's hold onto all of our sisters-of every hue & heritage-as so many are killed at the hands of men & rampant, ruthless misogyny. RIP https://t.co/vj93egeBXS pic.twitter.com/AyZnVooAMY — Rev. & Prof. Cornell William Brooks (@CornellWBrooks) April 13, 2024 Many supporters note Robinson's case has yet to receive the attention it deserves. However, they continue pushing to keep her story and memory at the forefront of the collective conversation. The days ahead will no doubt bring more details to light. For now, the city stands in solidarity, mourning a life cut tragically short and seeking justice for Sade Robinson. via: https://bossip.com/2641577/torso-and-arm-found-sade-robinson-lake-michigan/

'Don't Talk About Her Man': Kandi Burruss Shuts Down Todd Tucker Divorce Rumors

(@teamkandialways) April 18, 2024 The hustling duo took time to dispel rumors about an impending divorce on the yellow carpet of their Broadway revival of The Wiz. According to US Weekly, Burruss' eldest daughter Riley alerted her to the gossip as it continued to make its internet rounds. "Riley actually sent it to me. She was like, 'Why do people keep saying that y'all about to get divorced?' I was like, 'I don't know,'" she said on the carpet. Though the couple vehemently denied the legitimacy of the claims, they both understood how they may have come to be. Both Kandi and Todd have YouTube pages with tons of crossover relationship content that frequently sparks debates. Watch Video on YouTube The former RHOA stars cover touchy topics like plastic surgery, putting trackers on your spouse's car and how wives often put their children before their husbands in a segment called "Todd & The Glam Squad." The conversations often take a turn for the spicy as Kandi and Todd don't always agree on the topic at hand. The combative energy may have led fans to believe there was trouble in the Burruss/Tucker paradise. "We're passionate when we go back and forth. I think people kind of mistook that to say we were angry with each other. But we're [just] debating the topic. We're going back and forth about this," Burruss told the outlet. "I've been like that my whole life. As soon as we have a back and forth, I can walk out the room and be like, 'OK, now what are we doing next?' Whereas I guess to somebody that's watching it, they are thinking that it's more than that." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kandi Burruss (@kandi) Todd chimed in with a little more context saying, "They're analyzing [it like], 'Wow, he said this.' Or his posture.' You know how they do. But it was just good, fun conversation and people just took it wrong. I was like, 'We are with each other every day.' It's not like, 'I haven't seen him together. His ring isn't on or something.'" We all know that these two know how to work through their differences because they're still married in spite of Mama Joyce and get to a shared bag. However, Tucker admitted that public scrutiny can be a tough pill to swallow. "It is tough. You're always on stage and you can't really kind of relax out in public. But for me, I think from doing reality TV early on with her, I really don't pay it any more. We know what's going on." The pair have managed to turn their love story into a booming empire that includes TV, theater, music and restaurants. But they maintain that the key to their lasting success as husband and wife is communication. "He's a better communicator than I am. I'm one of those people where if I get in a mood, I kind of shut down," Burruss said. "I don't want to talk until I've completely calmed down because I'm afraid I'll say something that I didn't want to say and it comes off harsh. But he likes to communicate and get it all out. He really helps us get through it because we have to talk through it." We're happy to hear that these divorce rumors were not a "scheme set up by Todd." via: https://bossip.com/2641547/kandi-burruss-shuts-down-todd-tucker-divorce-rumors/

KKKops Are Expensive: St. Louis Judge Awards Black Ex-Cop Beaten By White Officers More Than $23 Mil

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 20:27 GMT

Earlier this week, a St. Louis judge awarded nearly $23.5 million to a Black ex-cop who was beaten by white cops while working undercover during a protest against police brutality that resulted in the death of a Black man. Source: Tetra Images / Getty It was arguably the most ironic case in recent years, and, as usual, the criminal case resulted in cops getting off with slaps on their wrists. Well, the justice system in St. Louis won't hold brutal and racist police officers accountable by punishing them adequately, but the city and involved officers are having to say "I'm sorry" with their wallets. Remember Luther Hall, an ex-officer from the St. Louis police department? He was recently granted an award of nearly $23.5M after being assaulted by his fellow officers while undercover at a protest. Hall recalls that during the 2017 protest - sparked by the dismissal of another... pic.twitter.com/2lWvguXO26 — Kenny Akers (@KeneAkers) April 18, 2024 As we previously reported, in September 2017, ex-officer Luther Hall was working undercover during a protest prompted by the acquittal of Jason Stockley, a former St. Louis officer who was charged with murder after shooting and killing 24-year-old Anthony Lamar Smith on Dec. 20, 2011. During the protest, Hall was approached and ultimately beaten by ex-officer Dustin Boone, who, on the same day the beating of Hall took place, had texted his fellow officers, "But it's gonna be a lot of fun beating the hell out of these s**theads once the sun goes down and nobody can tell us apart," and referred to Black people as "F***ing ni**ers" while talking to another officer. But despite all of the evidence indicating that Boone was an anti-Black lynching by a KKKop waiting to happen, and despite the evidence that he went into the protest planning to commit acts of police brutality, he got off with a light sentence of one year and one day. According to the Associated Press, four other officers and ex-officers, Randy Hays, Christopher Myers, Bailey Colletta, and Steven Korte, were also involved in the attack on Hall. In fact, Hall had previously settled a separate lawsuit with the city for $5 million, and, in 2022, he sued Boone, Hays, and Myers over their roles in the attack. AP reports that Hays, Boone, Myers, and another officer, Bailey Colletta, were indicted in 2018 in connection with Hall's injuries. A fifth officer, Steven Korte, was indicted on a civil rights charge and another count of lying to the FBI. Boone was convicted of a civil rights charge and sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison. Meyers received probation after pleading guilty to a single felony charge. Colletta received probation for lying to the FBI and a grand jury about the attack. Korte was acquitted. In addition to the settlement with Hall, the city of St. Louis last year paid nearly $5.2 million over allegations that police violated the rights of dozens of people by capturing them in a police "kettle" and arresting them. Some said they were beaten, pepper-sprayed, and attacked with stun guns in various downtown protests after the Stockley verdict. Again, since it's such a steep uphill battle to hold violent police officers accountable, particularly when they're using unnecessary and excessive force against Black people and Black Lives Matter protestors, it's only right that victims have the option of making officials pay monetary damages through civil courts as criminal courts continue to do next to nothing about racist and brutal cops. "Mr. Hall had to endure this severe beating and while that was happening, he knew it was being administered by his colleagues who were sworn to serve and protect," Circuit Judge Joseph Whyte said during the hearing Monday after Hall testified about the severe physical injuries and emotional trauma the beating caused him, which include "several herniated discs and a jaw injury that left him unable to eat," AP reported, and gallstones he developed that require surgeries. Hays wasn't at the hearing as he was sentenced to more than four years in prison in 2021 after he pleaded guilty in 2019 to a felony count of deprivation of civil rights under the color of law for his role in the beating. The 52 months in prison Hays was sentenced to might seem significant compared to the light punishments and non-punishments his colleagues received until you realize that, like Boone, he was facing more than a decade in prison and prosecutors asked the judge for much more time than he received. And that's why police officers will continue to be more aggressive, reckless, brutal, and deadly when dealing with Black suspects regardless of the financial burden their actions cost the cities they work in. via: https://bossip.com/2641047/luther-hall-lawsuit/

Rihanna RIH-veals Her Fashion Regrets Since Becoming RZA & Riot's Mom: 'I Really Did That?! Nips Out

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 16:43 GMT

We used to be a proper society; one where Rihanna risked everything for fashion and clapped back at anyone and everyone on Twitter. Source: Neil Mockford / Getty But now, she's a mother, and she's trying to tone it down-which includes criticizing her former fashion choices. During a recent red carpet interview with British Vogue, the Fenty founder owned up to some "fashion icks," some of which she admits may sound "hypocritical." "It's going to sound hypocritical because I did so much s**t in my life, I had my nipples out, I had my panties out," the "Diamonds" singer admitted. "But now those are the things, I guess as a mom, and an evolved young lady, emphasis on young, it's just things that I feel I would never do, or I'm just like 'oh my god, I really did that? Nips out?'" It's safe to say we won't be seeing Rihanna with the same type of risqu looks we have in the past, but even as a mother, she still takes fashion risks in more conservative ways.

As a bonus, she's doing so during Black Women's History Month. Influencer/writer Maui Bigelow is hosting her 11th-annual Life Styled Honors in Atlanta celebrating diversity, inclusion, and empowerment within the fashion and entertainment industries. As previously reported, last year's slew of events brought out the likes of Juniyah Palmer, Tokyo Vanity, Zatima actress Nzinga Imani, and Raynell "Supa Cent" Steward. A press release reports that this year's event promises to be particularly historic as it "highlights the achievements of groundbreaking individuals, including the event's first transgender woman honoree." 11th Annual Life Styled Honors Schedule Events celebrating the 2024 Life Styled Honors kicked off Wednesday, April 17, with an "R&B Pass The Mic" celebration hosted by recording artists Josh Waters and SunniDread.

This honor is given for their willingness to show up unapologetically for themselves and others. Those honorees are: Porche Madre, PR Specialists Tyera Thomas, Hairstylist/MUA Arrion Burris, Stylist Tequeria Barrett, Progressive Organizer

A press release also notes that the Life Styled Honors will celebrate a notable milestone with the inclusion of the first transgender woman to receive its recognition underscoring "Life Styled Honors' commitment to diversity and empowerment, showcasing the importance of representation and inclusivity within the fashion, beauty and entertainment industries." "We are thrilled to honor these remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions to our industries," said Maui Bigelow, Founder of Life Styled Honors.

Paternal Pettiness...Again: Brian McKnight Gets Dragged For Praising His Stepdaughter & Callously Ca

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 16:59 GMT

Brian McKnight is back at one, again, after being at the receiving end of a lot of criticism for praising his stepdaughter while referring to his biological children as "evil." "In order to live a life that you love, you have to get rid of the evil and the negativity, even if that evil and negativity is related," said the singer. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The singer has been the talk of social media over the past few months for publicly disowning his sons, Brian Kelly McKnight Jr. and Niko, whom he shares with ex-wife Julie McKnight. He also a daughter named Briana, from whom he is also estranged, whom he shares with ex Patricia Driver. The singer also gained two stepchildren, Julia and Jack McPhee, when he and his current wife, Leilani McKnight, tied the knot in 2017. They welcomed their first son together, Brian Kainoa Makoa Jr., in 2022. Once the couple got married, the singer's complicated relationships with his children became a topic of discussion on social media. At the end of last year, Brian Sr. celebrated his stepdaughter, Julia, earning her master's degree with an Instagram post, which revived the conversations about his biological children. "You have a daughter, I wonder how this post makes her feel," one of the top comments on the post reads. In response, McKnight took to Instagram with a "Weekly Replies" video this week referring to Julia as "my one and only daughter." "She feels great," he said about his stepdaughter instead of acknowledging his biological children. "See, Julia understands the scripture Exodus 20:12, where it says, and I quote, 'Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days be long upon the land..' See, she honors us, and in turn, we honor her because she knows how proud of her we are." In another comment, the singer referred to his biological children as a "product of sin," also pointing out that his ex is the one who raised them, not him...as if that makes his case any better. Every time Brian McKnight starts trending I want to cry because I used to LOVE this man's music. But SMH I can't support it anymore. Not everyone is born of married parents, but did he have to call these children "product of sin?" #WWJD Sincerely, Apparently a product of sin ?? pic.twitter.com/Up8PVo8qtO — Nicki Mayo (@nickimayonews) April 18, 2024 He also took the time to respond to another commenter, who supported Brian Sr. by writing, "The ones that keep saying, 'what about his other children,' some families are pure evil.'" Unsurprisingly, McKnight was elated by this comment, saying that this fan "gets it" while seemingly confirming that his biological children were the "evil" he needed to remove from his life. "In order to live a life that you love, you have to get rid of the evil and the negativity, even if that evil and negativity is related," said the singer. "We want everyone to live a life that they love but in order to do that you have to get rid of that evil and negativity." Back in 2020, Brian Sr.'s estranged daughter, Briana, filed a defamation suit against her father after he claimed she had a sexual relationship with an "older cousin." The case was eventually dismissed in February 2023, but it looks like their relationship hasn't improved in the year since. via: https://bossip.com/2640549/brian-mcknight-children-disowned/

"I give one student an A for effort but I'll make sure I flunk her in reunion," said one of the desert divas. The Real Housewives of Dubai season two premieres Sunday, June 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo and it's already got X users talking. Source: Bravo / Bravo As previously reported as the 11th city in the franchise, #RhoDubai continues to follow a group of lavish women as they run business empires and expertly navigate a highly exclusive social scene within an opulent oasis. In season 2, Bravo reports that the flashy, fun, and fabulous ladies are back in the City of Gold and enjoying the oasis opulence that comes with it; even amid some big changes. This year the women must balance new dynamics in the group, their demanding family lives, and their ever-growing successful businesses.

Aww, Baby!!! Nelly & Ashanti Announce Pregnancy & Engagement, R&B Mama-To-Be Cradles Baby Bump In Pu

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 21:47 GMT

Aww, baby; the rumors are true! Nelly and Ashanti are not only expecting-but the rapper and R&B mama-to-be are ENGAGED! Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The news was first shared by Ashanti, 43, who took to Instagram on Wednesday, April 17, to announce her pregnancy. In a video, Ashanti is seen getting ready for a performance as her glam team and her mom Tina Douglas urgently ask her how much time she needs. "Uh, I'm gonna need about nine months," responds the singer with a smile. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bossip.com (@bossipofficial) Following the big reveal, Ashanti confirmed to ESSENCE that Nelly, 49, popped the question and asked her to be his wife. "This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation," said Ashanti. "Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fianc and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience." Ashanti also gave more insight into their pregnancy journey and told ESSENCE that they're the co-owners of Proov, a diagnostics company that offers at-home tests that help individuals looking to conceive make it happen faster and in a way that doesn't leave a large dent in their pockets. The rekindled duo owns the company alongside founder Amy Beckley, PhD. After the news broke, Ashanti was seen onstage at a Florida conference cradling her baby bump in a royal blue dress. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bossip.com (@bossipofficial) This will be Ashanti's first child, Nelly's fifth. The rapper has a daughter, Chanelle, a son, Cornell Jr., and adopted Shawn and Sydney Thomas, the two children of his sister, Jackie Donahue, after she passed away from leukemia in 2005. The rekindled couple sparked pregnancy rumors in December when Ashanti rested her hands on her stomach during a performance. Just days later, US Weekly broke the news that they were expecting their first child. Most recently Dan thought they spotted Ashanti's burgeoning bump while she performed onstage with Nelly in February for the 10th anniversary of E11EVEN Miami.

"She's always true and authentic, and she's just as fearless onscreen, which is why she's one of my favorite actors. Watching her commit 1 million percent to whatever character she's portraying is amazing. Her courage really sets her apart, in Hollywood and in real life." 21 Savage

She was exceptional," Aduba penned." "It's exciting that now we all get to experience the fullness of what Da'Vine can do. Her performance in The?Holdovers was balletic, just so deliberate and crafted. She approaches her characters with the kind of sincerity, honesty, and nuance that makes me proud to be an actor. Da'Vine stands firmly in who she is, embracing the whole of her strength and her softness, and I so admire that."

I deeply admire his authenticity. He is completely honest and true to who he was created to be, and he does everything with such grace, humility, and gratitude," Kravitz wrote.

The characters Colman plays onscreen are all over the map-from an addict in recovery to civil rights activist Bayard Rustin-which shows his depth as an actor and a creative. Seeing how his work continues to evolve is inspiring, and I love that he's finally getting his flowers. I'm proud to know him as a friend, as a human being, and as a fellow artist.

Simone Biles Says She 'Broke Down' Amid Backlash From Her Hubby's 'Viral The Catch' Comments: 'Why A

Simone Biles is opening up about her feelings following the public's unsavory comments about her husband, Jonathan Owens. Source: Carmen Mandato / Getty Unless you're a football fan, you probably got to know NFL Safety Jonathan Owens via his relationship with the most decorated gymnast in history, Simone Biles. Sadly, their relationship got the most publicity after Owens appeared on The Pivot podcast last year when he implied that he was "the catch" in their relationship and claimed had no idea who his Olympic gold medalist wife was before they started dating. Fans immediately came to Biles' defense, digging up the footballer's old tweets in which he talked about watching Olympic gymnastics and called his bluff. Still, throughout the ordeal, Simone repeatedly stood by her husband's side, insisting he was the catch he claimed to be. Watch Video on YouTube Now, months later, the Olympic gold medalist stopped by the Call Her Daddy podcast to talk more about Owens' controversial interview. According to Biles, the viral clips from the conversation were taken out of context, insisting she was "in the room" for the whole interview and was "feeling great" at the moment. "I was like, 'My man just killed that,'" she said of her thoughts after recording the podcast. But, once the episode dropped, Biles realized that her fans felt a lot differently, with many reaching out to tell her to file for divorce. "So, whenever he did that interview, I thought everything was OK. And then I go on Twitter, and everybody's like, divorce this man, he's mean," Simone said. "I'm like, he's the sweetest. He praises the ground that I walk on. Truly, I've never met a man like him." Biles went on to say that the public misinterpreted his words when it came to calling himself the "catch" in the relationship. "He never said I wasn't a catch. He said he was a catch because he is," she recalled. "I've never met a man like him. A lot of people that meet him are like, 'Oh my gosh, I want a man like that." Watch Video on YouTube While Biles said she found the whole controversy to be "hilarious," she did admit that the backlash did eventually get to her more seriously. "So I thought it was hilarious at first and then they hurt my feelings," she said. "One night, I broke down and I'm like, why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don't know him, you don't know who he is, and if anybody's met him, they know he's the sweetest guy and will do anything for anybody." "So, that really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that because for me," Biles continued. "It's like, talk about me all you want, but don't come from my family. Never."

WELP: Raptors' Jontay Porter Hit With NBA Lifetime Ban For Violating League Gaming & Gambling Rules

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 16:51 GMT

Source: Alika Jenner / Getty Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter's NBA career is officially over after he received a lifetime ban for violating league gaming rules. Sports betting is growing like an untamed wildfire across the United States and if you watch sports commentary or actual sports games, you'll see dozens of ads with promo codes to try and get your money. With betting growing exponentially, it was only a matter of time before a player violated league rules to try and make fast cash. According to ESPN, an investigation found that Jontay Porter violated gaming rules, and the NBA delivered the harshest punishment possible. On April 17, Porter received a lifetime ban from Commissioner Adam Silver. "There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sport, which is why Jontay Porter's blatant violations of our gaming rules are being met with the most severe punishment," Commissioner Silver said in a statement. Silver also doubled down on the NBA's commitment to find future cheaters so that the game remains protected. "While legal sports betting creates transparency that helps identify suspicious or abnormal activity, this matter also raises important issues about the sufficiency of the regulatory framework currently in place, including the types of bets offered on our games and players. Working closely with all relevant stakeholders across the industry, we will continue to work diligently to safeguard our league and game," Silver said.

KKKringy KKKlarification: Jerrod Carmichael Backtracks On Goofy Gaffe About White Boyfriend, Claims

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 21:11 GMT

Source: Allen J. Schaben / Getty Jerrod Carmichael is a lot of things; comedian, actor, host-but his latest gaggle of goofy gaffes gives him all the prerequisites to have a successful KKKareer in the KKKirrcus. For those who are unaware or somehow forgot, Carmichael was recently skewered and slow cooked over a social media fire for a "joke" that he told on Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. To make a long story short, Carmichael was quoted telling a joke about likening himself to a slave while his white boyfriend teaches him to read. "My boyfriend, he makes me smarter, he makes me read," said Carmichael. "I have so many books. Realistically I'm not gonna read all those books. He knows that. But the fact that I bought them says I love you. They're little monuments around my apartment, just like, 'Look at this book from Amazon that I'm never gonna read.'" "I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that of a slave and a master's son - who, like, teaches me how to read by candlelight." After receiving Charlamagne Tha God's infamous "Donkey of the Day", the KKKringy KKKomedian took his self-hating talents to The Breakfast Club to "clarify" what he "really" meant in the wake of the backlash. "The thing I want to clear up, and it's very very important...because you report on it. You played a clip of my standup but it started at the punchline and it like, completely erased the setup of it and I really don't like that," said Carmichael. "It has nothing to do with my boyfriend...the sex that we have. It has nothing to do with sex, it's something that like people have been reporting on and I really really don't like it. It's about my boyfriend reading so much he makes me feel insecure about my level of reading. The joke's about me reading." ??If you're someone that has gotten #DOTD, one thing a guest will do it address it when they sit in that seat! #JerrodCarmichael comes through to #TheBreakfastClub to promote the 'Jerrod Carmichael: Reality Show' and addresses the 'Slave-Play jokes! @iHeartRadio pic.twitter.com/zl8wiKcDQd — Power 105.1 (@Power1051) April 16, 2024 Even if we are to take Jerrod's explanation in good faith, it still doesn't really justify the joke. Once you bring in the dynamic of race, sexual fantasy, and referring to himself as a slave and his white bae as a "master's son" it's a wrap. Maybe Jerrod should have workshopped that one a lil' more. You can watch Jerrod Carmichae's joke in full below as shared by The Shade Room.

Game, Set, MESS: Zendaya Enters Villain Era In Provocative Tennis Drama 'Challengers,' Slaps Sense I

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 20:44 GMT

Zaaamn, Zendaya! Source: Arnold Jerocki/Getty Images for Warner Bros Pictures Zendaya is entering her villain era in provocative tennis drama Challengers that smolders with shady shenanigans, hilariously messy moments, and explosive exchanges between deeply flawed characters like the one below: Watch Video on YouTube Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan-a former tennis prodigy-turned-winning-obsessed coach who's unapologetically #TeamTashi on and off the court. Married to a champion down on his luck (Mike Faist), Tashi's strategy for her husband's redemption takes an unexpected turn when he faces off against his washed up ex-BFF Patrick (Josh O'Connor) who's also Tashi's ex-boyfriend.

Source: Amazon MGM Studios As their pasts and presents collide, Tashi must ask herself how far she's willing to go and what she's willing to do to win. "Typically, I play the person that ultimately is easier to empathize with," said Zendaya in her cover story interview with VOGUE. "There was something about her that felt very, 'Oh, damn.' "Even I was kind of scared of her." Check out the trailer below: Watch Video on YouTube Once again making magic with famed stylist Law Roach, Zendaya has served up tennis-inspired slays while commanding carpets as Hollywood's leading-lady-of-the-moment on the global Challengers press tour. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Law Roach (@luxurylaw) "I feel like I shrink, and I can't enjoy all the things that are happening to me, because I'm like this," she told THR when asked about relishing in her first major leading role. "I'm very tense, and I think that I carry that from being a kid and never really having an opportunity to just try sh*t. And I wish I went to school." With the biggest film of 2024 (so far) and a surefire box office hit on the way, we're sure the 27-year-old will finally take time to enjoy her success. Yall. This movie was so?? Like omg I never thought a movie could make me dislike zendaya .. but yall this movie made me not only dislike her BUT FEEL BAD FOR WHITE MEN?? Like I'm so mad.

Caitlin Clark And Angel Reese's WNBA Contracts Spark Sports Debate About Underpaid Players, Russell

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 19:03 GMT

The WNBA has unveiled the salaries for its newcomers, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, but the modest offers for the globally recognized sizzling sports stars have ignited backlash on social media. Ciars's sanctified sweetie Russell Wilson who reportedly signed a one-year, $1.21 million deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is among those advocating for higher compensation for the ladies. Source: Sarah Stier / Getty On April 15, SportsRac unveiled the four-year rookie contract salaries for Angel Reese, an all-star from the LSU Tigers, and Clark, an MVP with the Iowa Hawkeyes, following Monday's 2024 WNBA Draft. Reese was selected as the seventh overall pick by the Chicago Sky and is set to earn $324,383 throughout the next four seasons. In her debut season, Reese will begin with a salary of just $73,439. This figure will progressively rise, culminating in a team option of $93,636 for her fourth season with the Chicago Sky. Clark, who famously competed against Reese during the April 2023 NCAA Championship, will earn slightly more than the 21-year-old baller. The 22-year-old Iowa native drafted by the Indiana Fever as the top pick, will receive a total compensation of $338,056, with an annual salary increase. By 2027, Clark will earn around $97,582 with the Indiana Fever. https://t.co/hqF3Oq155B pic.twitter.com/UrtQNu72Lw — Spotrac (@spotrac) April 16, 2024 Caitlin Clark's contract (Via @spotrac ) pic.twitter.com/d0YQtVGriR — NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) April 16, 2024 Social Media Reacts To Angel Reese & Caitlin Clark's Salaries In comparison to the NBA, the contract offers for Reese and Clark are significantly lower. For context, in 2023, the projected salary for the top overall rookie pick in the NBA draft was valued at $10.13 million, as reported by RealGM.com. The figure was slightly lower for the seventh pick-round slot, coming in at $5,511,000. Social media users felt like the offers were terrible, and many called out the WNBA, urging the organization to pay the exceptional players more. "These ladies deserve so much more...Praying for the day," Russell Wilson wrote on X. "The WNBA has to do better. This is unacceptable," @HaterReport_ penned. A user named @ballinfit claimed that the measly salary offers were due in part to the WNBA's inability to pull in revenue. "It's simple math, they aren't bringing in millions of dollars in revenue like the men are. Idk why people can't comprehend that..." Despite that, there was optimism among some that Reese and Clark might bridge the salary gap through endorsement and name, age, and likeness (NIL) deals. Reese has a NIL valuation of $1.8 million and Clark has a staggering NIL valuation of $3.4 million for brand deals and sponsorships. These ladies deserve so much more...

Halle Bailey is giving her fans an honest look at what life looks like just a few months after becoming a mother.

"I have severe, severe postpartum," Halle revealed on her Snapchat story, according to BCK Online. "I don't know if any new moms can relate, but it's to the point where it's really bad and it's hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out." Some of her struggles also stem from the changes her body has gone through since giving birth, admitting that she is having trouble "feeling normal" in her own body. "I feel like a completely different person when I look in the mirror," Bailey admitted. "I just feel like I'm in a whole new body, and I don't know who I am."

"And I do think there's a little bit of a stigma when you hear about people talking about postpartum," Bailey began. "Now going through it, I feel like it feels like you're swimming in this ocean that's like the biggest waves you've ever felt, and you're trying not to drown."

Chiefs' Rashee Rice Sued For More Than $10 Million For Dallas Six-Car Crash Involving Lamborghini He

Rashee Rice's legal troubles continue from his involvement in a Dallas six-car pile-up because two of the victims are suing the Kansas City Chiefs player for more than $10 million. Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty As BOSSIP previously reported, authorities determined Rice owned a Corvette that was wrecked in the crash. Rice later apologized for his role in the incident. He admitted to driving the now-totaled Lamborghini. Police discovered both luxury cars abandoned on the highway after dashcam footage showed them initiating the highway high-speed chain reaction.

In addition to Rice, the suit names his friend, SMU football player Theodore Knox as the alleged driver of Rice's Corvette. According to TMZ, the plaintiffs accuse Rice and Knox of recklessly racing the sports cars, losing control, and colliding with other vehicles. Petrovskiy and Gromova want more than $10 million for damages. They claim the March 30 collisions left them with brain trauma, internal bleeding, deep lacerations, and other injuries. The lawsuit also seeks the eight-figure sum for the resulting medical bills and property damage. Petrovskiy and Gromova claim the pile-up left multiple people "severely injured, bleeding, and visibly distressed." The complaint states that despite this, neither of the ballers checked on victims before leaving the scene. The recent Super Bowl champ offered to make the other motorists whole when he took responsibility. However, he probably didn't expect that to cost $10 million. View this post on Instagram A post shared by RasheeRice (@doub11e_r) Honoring his agreement to cooperate with cops, he and Knox turned themselves in following warrants issued for their arrest. The men each face one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, one count of aggravated assault, and six counts of collision involving injury. Dallas PD released Rice and Knox on bond shortly after their arrests last week. via: https://bossip.com/2636458/rashee-rice-sued-10-million-6-car-crash/

Ralph Yarl: Teen Talks About Managing Life After Being Shot In Head For Ringing Doorbell

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 18:07 GMT

Source: Chase Castor / Getty Ralph Yarl's story is one that is as heartbreaking as it is infuriating. For those who don't remember, almost one year ago today, the then-16-year-old Yarl was going to pick up his younger brother from a neighbor's house when he accidentally rang the doorbell of Andrew Lester. The 84-year-old alleges that he was terrified for his life and fired rounds, one of which went into Yarl's head. As you might imagine, an incident like that will change a person's life physically, mentally and socially. Recently, Yarl spoke publicly for the first time about how he has managed to cope with the trauma, anger and sadness that has plagued him since that day. Via NBC News: "It's definitely a bumpy journey," Yarl said in his first in-depth interview about how the shooting has affected him one year later. "Whenever there's something that goes on that reminds me of what happened ... I just have, like, such a negative wave of emotions, like anger, like disgust. It's always a mix of good and bad days. And I feel like the good days are when I'm able to be around people that help me build myself up." Ralph's mother, Cleo Nagbe, says her son is suffering from PTSD and believes that it's having a severe effect on his life. So much so that over the past three months, Yarl has totaled two vehicles. In one of the accidents, he ran into a tree. She described his current mental health as "a constant uphill battle." Watch Video on YouTube Yarl says that he wants his shooting to serve a purpose and help combat the number of shootings that happen in America. Sadly, he admits that he feels guilt when he thinks about the protests, outrage and national attention that he received following the shooting and how not much has changed. "It just feels like a failure on my part," he says. We hope and pray that this young man can reclaim his life as his own without permanently being attached to his pain. via: https://bossip.com/2636346/ralph-yarl-first-interview-since-shooting/

Another Black woman's date ended with her death, and Sade Robinson's family solved her disappearance following Maxwell Anderson's arrest, but they're still searching for the rest of her body. Source: GoFundMe / GoFundMe In a chilling development, Milwaukee authorities have charged 33-year-old Maxwell Anderson with the murder of Sade Robinson, a 19-year-old Black woman whose disappearance led to a dismembered leg discovered in Warnimont Park. After DNA matching, the family will now have answers in the investigation of a twisted date gone wrong. A Black Woman was brutally murdered and you nig nogs get on the internet to blame her for going out with a white man. As if Black men don't do the same shit to us. Rest in Power Sade Robinson. — DiaBia (@mommabiia) April 14, 2024 Anderson faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson. According to authorities, Robinson was reported missing on April 1st after she was last seen with Anderson. The case escalated when her burned vehicle was discovered along with her belongings. Court documents show that not long after, Robinson's leg was found, leading to a breakthrough via DNA analysis. The investigation quickly escalated after surveillance footage showed her last moments at a restaurant with Anderson, just before she vanished. Officials say cellphone data from the app Life360 aided in tracking the whereabouts of Robinson and Anderson. CBS58 states the following about the phone signals of Robinson and Anderson on the night of April 1st: Robinson's device, according to the complaint, traveled to the area of Warnimont Park between 2 and 3 a.m. After 7:30 a.m. on April 2, officials found Robinson's 2020 Honda Civic torched near 29th and Lisbon Video surveillance shows Anderson leaving the scene and getting on a Milwaukee County transit bus just after 8 a.m. heading south towards his residence Around 5:30 p.m., the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office located a severed leg in Warnimont Park As Sade Robinson's Family Searches For Her Remains, The Alleged Fatal Date & Lackluster Law Enforcement Evoke Lauren Smith-Fields' Death Robinson's family then conducted a search and seemed to fill the gap left by law enforcement.

A search warrant executed at Anderson's residence revealed traces of blood and materials consistent with an attempt to dispose of a body. Those who knew Robinson fondly remember her. Described as vibrant and bubbly, the teen's untimely death has left a void in the community. "She was gorgeous, and her smile could brighten anyone's day, and she had a personality that could cheer you up," said Josh S., a close friend of Robinson, told TMJ4.

Rick Ross Responds To Drake's 'Push Ups' With 'Champagne Moments', Says 'White Boy' Drake Under Wen

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:54 GMT

Source: Prince Williams/Manny Hernandez/ Getty Images / Prince Williams/Manny Hernandez/ Getty Images After Drake dropped his diss track targeting the entire hip-hop game Rick Ross went straight to the booth to deliver "Champagne Moments". On April 14, Drake finally unleashed his diss track "Push Ups" and fired back on the hip-hop Avengers that linked up to slander his name. Drake's final CDQ diss debuted on DJ Akademik's stream as he played the song over and over again. Eventually, while Ak was still live on stream he received a surprise from Rick Ross. Watch Video on YouTube In under two hours, Rozay crafted up a response and put Drizzy's character in question yet again. "N****s leakin' they records when we speakin' directly /If we keepin' it gangsta, when you see me you check me /White boy, I see you /I see you, yeah, check" Rozay immediately calls out Drake for leaking his diss to gauge reactions before sending Akademiks the final version. Also, he starts a new trend of referring to Drake as a "white boy." "By the way, I got a lot of respect for a lot of rappers, but I got one guy, he's my favorite person to rap with on any song, his name is Rick Ross Maybach Music /You ain't never want to be a n***a anyway, n***a /That's why you had a operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, n***a /I unfollowed you, n***a, 'cause you sent the motherf**king cease-and-desist to French Montana, n***a /You sent the police, n***a, hatin' on my dog project /That wasn't the same white boy that I seen, n***a, when we were makin' them early records, n*** /When you were happy to be around n****s, seein' n****s holdin' them sticks" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elliott Wilson (@elliottwilson) If you wondered why Rick Ross unfollowed Drake to start this beef he reveals it was over Drake not clearing his verse for French Montana. The song in question leaked shortly after Rozay's diss hit the internet. Perhaps, the funniest part is Ross begins spilling tea on Drake's alleged Dr. Miami visits starting with his nose. For the most part, Rick Ross took it easy on Drake but the best part he saved for last. He questioned where "BBL DRIZZY's" six-pack has been hiding. "We can do it how you wanna do it, where you wanna do it, anytime you wanna do it, I'm ready /I'm ready, white boy, huh /I know you got your Dockers on with no underwear, white boy /Yeah, you had that surgery, that six-pack gone /That's why you wearin' that funny s**t at your show, you can't hide it, n***a" The biggest boss and the Canadian are seemingly having a semi-friendly back and forth-and eventually will be on the same page again. Unfortunately, we don't think this will be the route things go for everyone else named in Drake's "Push Ups". You can listen to "Champagne Moments" below.

So Sick: Crystal Renay Reveals How She Learned Of Ex-Husband Ne-Yo's Infidelity

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 18:50 GMT

The devil works hard but The Breakfast Club, apparently, works harder. In a recent sit-down interview, Crystal Renay, the ex-wife of singer Ne-Yo revealed that his appearance on the popular radio show helped reveal his infidelity. Source: Rick Diamond / Getty Crystal Renay said that his answer to a question about how he'd respond to finding out his partner was unfaithful was a major key. "What's funny is that it was The Breakfast Club. Remember when y'all asked him if he would be ok not knowing that his partner was cheating and he was like 'I would live in a blissful bubble'? Someone sent me that and something in my stomach told me...something wasn't right," she said. "That day I found everything I needed to find and I left." View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) The divorce between Renay and Ne-Yo did turn ugly as it began to circulate that the "So Sick" singer had fathered a child during their marriage. Though she didn't get into specifics about what she found, she did confirm that the evidence was on his phone. "Because with me...he has a little jealousy in him or whatever. So, I know that he would never be ok with me doing that. So, it was like mmmm something ain't right." When asked by DJ Envy whether or not Ne-Yo came clean when confronted, Renay said, "He had no choice." These ladies have come such a long way with supporting each other ?? #BoldAndBougie pic.twitter.com/JCDI0KX8xk — WE tv (@WEtv) April 2, 2024 The Bold and Bougie star seems to have put the nasty details of her divorce behind her. She claims that she's "in a really good space" in her life currently. "I feel like that was just God's redirection for me. It was a situation that was no longer serving me. He knew that that wasn't what I wanted in a marriage. And he just removed from that situation. I think he did in it a way where I had no choice to leave because my values and my morals would never let me involved in something like that." Those who mind their own business may not remember when Ne-Yo's side chick turned baby mama voluntarily revealed that she'd apologized to Renay about sleeping with him during the marriage. Sade Bagnerise went on to have another child by the singer before the ink was dry on Ne-Yo and Renay's divorce papers. Nonetheless, everyone seems to be playing nice for now. Renay reportedly received a $1.6 million lump sum in the divorce and will take home $12,000 in child support monthly. Additionally, she was awarded $5000 per month in alimony through 2026. Ne-Yo is currently on tour to support all them kids. Check out Crystal Renay's full interview with Tameka Raymond on The Breakfast Club below.

Green-Eyed Gaslighting: Gizelle Bryant Grilled After Blaming Candiace Dillard For 'RHOP' Fight, Fed-

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 17:56 GMT

The green-eyed bandits are back at it again with the gaslighting, and fed-up fans are ready to boycott the reunion. In a clip released from the finale of the never-ending Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8 reunion, Gizelle Bryant, once again, moved the goalposts for what's acceptable behavior. Source: Clifton Prescod / Bravo When discussing the fight that ensued at she and Ashley Darby's hot mess GnA fashion without fashions show, Gizelle placed the blame on Candiace, Wendy and Keiarna-the three people who were attacked. Choosing to focus on what was said to provoke the attack, the President of the "I'm right because I'm light" fan club claimed "everyone was responsible" for leaving a stain on the brand's launch. #RHOP Reunion Preview: Gizelle says Wendy, Candiace, and Keiarna are responsible for the altercation with Deborah. pic.twitter.com/i1m67axCMR — The Peach Report (@ThePeachReport) April 12, 2024 "Trying to start a business and it being on TMZ for there to be a brawl is disturbing," Gizelle said. Karen Huger then asks Candiace would she said to the woman, Ashley's friend Deborah Williams, before the brawl. "After she walked up to me, cameras were down and were standing around. I was standing there with my champagne, dancing and she walked up to me...got right in my face and said 'do you have something you want to say to me," Candiace explained. She continued, "I said, 'no, come get this vermin out of my face..." This is where the gaslighting goes up a notch as Mia Thornton-who threw a drink in Wendy's face last year and received support from both Robyn Dixon and Gizelle in the aftermath-claims that Candiace's name calling was the issue saying, "Well that's why she threw the drink." Girl. The RHOP Season 8 reunion has caused many to question what Andy Cohen and the producers at Bravo are really up to as Robyn, Gizelle and Ashley continue to dodge the accountability they so easily demand of everyone else. Candiace Responds To "Triggering" Trailer As Fed-Up Fans Call For A Boycott Of Watching The Reunion

Source: Jocelyn Prescod / Bravo We already know Candiace was frustrated enough to leave the show. Seeing the latest reunion clip circulating seemed to confirm her decision. She responded by calling the preview "triggering" and said, "You all can literally have this." You all can literally have this. It's triggering. Good luck! https://t.co/u6AZ5TvhuJ — CANDIACE (@TherealCANDIACE) April 12, 2024 From the lackluster conversation on colorism at last year's reunion to the dog-piling on Wendy and Candiace that has continued this season, the fans have had it. The #boycottRHOP trending should send a message. At some point, changes need to be made. If we can recognize gaslighting in scenes, imagine what happens that gets edited out. This is bigger than what we "signed up for". — Winter Harris (@ImSimplyWinter) April 14, 2024 Enough is enough. Bravo has turned a blind eye to so many disgusting antics over the years and this franchise has gotten completely out of hand. It's clear -we- are going to have to make some change happen. DO NOT TUNE INTO THE REUNION TONIGHT. #BoycottRHOP #RHOP #RHOPReunion pic.twitter.com/XcPeWOXw5a — XO, ANTY (@XOANTY) April 14, 2024 #boycottRHOP This is accurate. I have no problem not watching tonight, or to stand up for #Candiace & #Wendy by not tuning in next season, enough of this nonsense. Gizelle, Robyn & Ashley have ruined this show. S9 will be a pile on Karen. Fix the show #Bravo #NBC #RHOP. ?? pic.twitter.com/uRYuCB3jtS — Adrienne Leigh (@OolaFanForever) April 14, 2024 For those new to the mess, the bad blood between Candiace and Deborah started last season when the latter made up a story about the former's husband. Deborah alleged that Chris was flirting with her and went as far as including Wendy's husband Eddie in it as well. The Bravo cameras determined it was a complete lie; however, Ashley thought the two ladies would be able to coexist for some reason. Andy, Bravo and Truly original are essentially telling Candiace that when she is at work, and she says something that someone else doesn't like she should expect to be attacked and that her employer will side with the attacker. Any other employer would be sued. #boycottRHOP — CantThinkOfOne (@ILuhsHappoIDo) April 14, 2024 The brawl made its way to the internet before the season aired but did not air until the final episode. It shows Deborah brutally attacking both Candiace and Keiarna, with the latter ending up in the hospital. Deborah later took her antics to social media, mocking the injuries Keiarna sustained and calling her behavior self-defense. The Bravo cameras proved that, too, was a lie. The fans are urging everyone not to tune in to the finale of the reunion on Sunday, April 14. They hope a protest will force producers to restructure the cast of the show. By that, they mean fire Gizelle, Robyn and Ashley to create a safe space for cast members darker than a paper bag. via: https://bossip.com/2635992/gizelle-bryant-candiace-dillard-rhop-fight-fans-boycott/

Drake Releases "Push Ups" Targeting Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, Ja Morant & More- Alleges

Drake & Kendrick Lamar - Source: Prince Williams/ Christopher Polk/Getty Images / Prince Williams/ Christopher Polk/Getty Images Drake releases real diss-track "Push Ups" after it leaked online with fans thinking it was AI, responds to Kendrick, Lamar, Future, Rick Ross, Metro Boomin' and more. It was a calm day until a Drake track leaked online allegedly responding to the hip-hop Avengers who assembled to try and take his throne. Following the release of Metro Boomin' and Future's We Still Don't Trust You and J. Cole bowing out it's now Drake against the world. Drake's diss track towards Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross and more has seemingly leaked onlinepic.twitter.com/gCpIIDxX0z — Complex Music (@ComplexMusic) April 13, 2024 While many believed the song that leaked could be AI some of the bars are a little too on the nose to dismiss immediately. Eventually, Akademiks gathered the world on his stream to play the record before Drake sent him the final version which he premiered. Akademiks finding out he's on the Drake diss ?? pic.twitter.com/3Ppm5wlSFX — Complex Music (@ComplexMusic) April 13, 2024 Here are some of the stand outlines on the record and the context behind them. Drake Responds To All His Detractors In New Diss Track Drake responds to Future's claims he's his number one fan which he rapped on the intro to We Don't Trust You. "I can never be nobody number one fan/ Your first number one, I had to put it in your hand" Drake helped deliver Future's first number-one record with "Way 2 Sexy" and gave him a top record with "Wait For U". Surprisingly if you watch the video for "Wait For U" you will not see the rappers in a scene together. Those are the only noticeable shots at Future on the record before Drake turns his attention to Kendrick Lamar. "How the f**k you big steppin' with a size seven men's on? /This the bark with the bite, n***a, what's up? /I know my picture on the wall when y'all cook up /Extortion baby, whole career you been shook up /'Cause Top told you drop and give me fifty like some push-ups, huh /Your last one bricked, you really not on s**t /They make excuses for you, 'cause they hate to see me lit /Pull your contract, 'cause we gotta see the split /Ayy, the way you doin' splits, b***h, your pants might rip /You better do that motherf**kin' show inside the bitty /Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty /Then we need a verse for the Swifties /Top say drop, you better drop and give 'em fifty" The alleged response confirms rumors of a dispute between Kendrick and TDE that allegedly stopped the rapper from releasing music for five years. Furthermore, Drake hints that TDE is still collecting 50% of Kendrick's money which may or may not be true. "Y'all n***a manager was Chubbs lil' blunt runner /Claim the 6ix, and you boys ain't even come from it/ And when you boys got rich, you had to run from it /Cash blowin' Abel bread, out here trickin' (Out here trickin') /S**t we do for b***hes he doin' for n****s (What the f**k?) /Jets, whips, chains, wicked, wicked, wicked (Wicked, wicked) /Spend it like you tryna f**k, boy, you trippin', boy, you trippin' /Drizzy Chip 'n Dale, probably got your b***h Chanel /I just got 'em done, boy, don't make me have to chip a nail /Rolling Loud stage, y'all were turnt, that was slick as hell" After exposing Kendrick's terrible music contract he targets The Weeknd and his Manager Cash who he claims is tricking on the rappers instead of women. He also applauds Future and Metro's Rolling Loud set where Travis requested "Like That" before its release. Surprisingly Drake makes the same mistake he made with Pusha-T and references Kendrick Lamar's wife Whitney on the record. "I be rockin' every f**kin' chain I own next visit, ayy 'I be with some bodyguards like Whitney /Top stay drop, your little midget a** better f**kin' Rick Ross has spent his time on social media using the beef to promote his Wingstop franchises and get a couple of laughs which Drake didn't appreciate. As the Canadian shoots at Rick Ross, he even leaves a few bullets for Ja Morant who allegedly dated Drake's two most recent alleged flings Lotto's sister Brooklyn Nikole, and Amari Bailey's mother Johanna Leia. "N****s really got me out here talkin' like I'm 50, ayy /N***s really got me out here rappin' what I'm livin'/I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I'm Ricky /Can't believe he jumpin' in, this n*** turnin' fifty /Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy /Spend that lil' check you got and stay up out my business /Worry 'bout whatever goin' on with you and (Uh) /Ayy, shoutout to the hooper that be bustin' out the griddy /We know why you mad, n***a, I ain't even trippin' /All that lil' heartbroken Twitter s**t for b***hes" https://t.co/yAq4Qgh2Ap pic.twitter.com/Kvyz7VkjOA — Ja Morant (@JaMorant) March 22, 2024 Ja Morant raised eyebrows responding to Metro Boomin's tweet asking everyone to pick sides and the song seemingly confirms their issues. At the end of the diss-record allegedly titled "Push Ups" Drake previews another song before it cuts off. Summer is around the corner and it seems it'll be the hottest summer for hip-hop in ages.

She also sent out some warning shots about any potential public run-in saying, "That wouldn't be a safe scenario...At the end of the day she know what she did. It can play it out in the media however...I know what she did, Simon knows what she did, Porsha knows what she did...I wouldn't even put myself in a predicament of even allowing that." The interview comes in the midst of a messy divorce drama between Williams and Guobadia, who allegedly started dating during latter's marriage to Pina. Real Housewives of Atlanta fans have been in a frenzy over the murky timeline of events from when Williams was seen at Pina and Guobadia's house during an episode to when Porsha and Simon became an item.

Michael Strahan's Daughter Isabella Emotionally Reveals She's Undergoing 3rd Craniotomy In Brain Can

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 18:42 GMT

We're offering best wishes to Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella Strahan, as she faces a challenge in her fight against brain cancer. Source: Gilbert Flores / Getty The University of Southern California student opened up to her supporters in a YouTube vlog on Friday. She shared a personal moment, revealing that she had to undergo a third craniotomy after developing a fever. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Good Morning America (@goodmorningamerica) "It's not as bad as the first time but I'm really in pain. They do give me pain medicine ... they don't work that well on me. So I'm in a lot of pain. My head really, really hurts right now. Not gonna lie, I've been crying a lot. I'm in a lot of pain. It's not as bad as last time ... my face isn't as puffy, but it literally hurts to do anything." Isabella gave her viewers a detailed look at her hospital visit. She began by receiving an IV with antibiotics, then underwent an MRI that revealed the need for a "minor procedure" where doctors inserted a needle into three spots on her head to drain excess fluid while she was awake. Unfortunately, she still required a craniotomy to drain additional fluid, which made her "feel better" overall but also left her dealing with depression. "There's ups and downs to this because I was eating so much a week ago and now I can't eat anything," she explained according to Page Six. "I'm in a down right now." Things seemed promising for the 19-year-old model when she was discharged from the hospital after a week-long stay, but she was readmitted after experiencing shortness of breath. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Isabella Strahan (@isabellastrahan) The surprise surgery wasn't Isabella's only setback. She also discovered she'd have to delay her chemotherapy treatments by a month. "I only have to do two rounds of chemo, but it's still gonna be three months," Isabella said. "So I wasn't very happy about that. I was just bawling my eyes out because it's just so disappointing when you're like, 'Yes! I can finish by May!' And then everything changes because of a stupid head infection. I'll be done a little later than I wanted to, but oh well," she said. "I'm home." In January, Michael Strahan took to his role as co-host on Good Morning America to share the news that his daughter Isabella had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The college student was away at school when she received the diagnosis. Isabella Strahan Bravely Battled Brain Cancer With The World Watching Her Journey

Source: GMA, ABC / abc Isabella started her vlog shortly after the shocking news. She began by sharing personal photos from her hospital stay and discussing her experience with the process of freezing her eggs. "I'm very excited for this whole process to wrap," she shared in January, "but you just have to keep living every day, I think, through the whole thing." Despite Isabella's recent hospital stay causing a delay in her chemotherapy schedule, she now has only two rounds remaining instead of the initially planned four, which is an encouraging development.

GHT & T G! m wt Wants More Kids After Welcoming Eighth Child With Jasmin Brown

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 17:43 GMT

T ? T... THERE' MRE??? Cam Newton sounds ready to go baby for baby with Nick Cannon because he wants even more after Jasmin Brown gave birth to his eighth child. Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Cam's comedic queen Jasmin just became a first-time mom last month with the birth of their baby girl last week. On the other hand, Cam is true to this; he is not new to this, with seven previous progeny, and he's already thinking about more. On Club Shay Shay, when asked about expanding his family, Cam didn't hesitate to say he's not done yet. "I want more!" Cam declared to Shannon Sharpe's shock. Cue the "Come onnnnnn, Cam!" from Unc Shannon." "People saying, 'You having all these kids.' I take care of all my kids," Newton said. "See, that's the thing. I always wanted a big family. I come from that so I want that," the i M ic ic L VE t ur star said. "I don't believe in step children. What my biological kids get, everybody get. I don't have no favorites. I'm raising kings and queens." - @CameronNewton pic.twitter.com/sDzdI3u3xA — Club Shay Shay (@ClubShayShay) April 12, 2024 In addition to his desire for an even bigger family, Cam explained how he manages co-parenting with the three mothers of his children. "I owe due diligence to each woman who [has] given me that, and I respect them the same. Do I have jurisdiction over who they talk to? No. But I owe a service to loving them unconditionally no matter what they do, and we have to co-parent together," he revealed. "It's a respect. And we can't allow our personal vendettas to get in between raising these children." Cam shares Cashmere, Camidas, Chosen, and Sovereign-Dior with his ex, Kia Proctor. He also claims Proctor's daughter, Shakira, as his own. Former Miss Azerbaijan La Reina Shaw shares a son, Caesar, with Cam, and he claims her son, Jaylen, from a previous relationship.

Source: Derek White / Getty Shannon pressed the bona fide family man about managing dynamics with his exes when they both wanted relationships before he moved on. It all goes back to the best-dressed baller's background. Before his football fame, he said he dreamed of a big traditional family and the "white picket fence." "And did I want it to be this way? When I was 7, 12 years old, I wanted to have a family. I wanted to be married with a house and a picket fence and all that. That just wasn't what my life panned out to be," he said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jasmin Brown (@watchjazzy) Despite criticisms about the multiple households, Cam is a dedicated father to every child in each one. He doesn't "believe in step-children," so his exes' children with other men get the same treatment in his family. The former Panthers player cares more about giving children as much as possible than getting away with the bare minimum. "I proudly say I have eight children. Six biologically through me. And I don't believe in stepchildren. What my biological kids get, everybody gets. I don't have no favorites. I'm raising kings and queens, and I have uncomfortable conversations with my children," he continued. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cam Newton (@cameron1newton) That generous spirit extends to the youth in his athletic programs, whom he says need that transparent advice and firm leadership. Cam strives to lead the next generations to have as much discipline and performance in academics and their personal lives as he's demonstrated on the field. "We all in the public eye try to keep personal, personal. But I want to be an example for people, that I never proclaimed to be perfect. Learn from me! We can talk about everything!" he offered, after an iconic journey to the top of the NFL. "I've been that guy for a long time! I had a lot of temptation. I had a lot of mess-ups along the way. too. That's why I'm relatable to these kids, my kids or anybody else's." It sounds like a lot of parents could learn something from Cam as much as their children.

Angela 'Blac Chyna' White Talks About Her Emotional Appearance On 'Where Is Wendy Williams?', Says D

Posted by famousradio — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 19:01 GMT

Angela White, formerly known as Blac Chyna, is speaking out about her involvement in Wendy Williams' eye-opening Lifetime documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams? The docu-series, which launched in February, explores the aftermath of the former radio jock's eponymous talk show, her various health struggles and the contentious issues surrounding Williams' financial guardianship. Source: Robin L Marshall/ Lars Niki/Getty Images for New York Women in Film During a recent chat with ET Online, the former reality TV star revealed that she had no clue cameras would be present when she decided to stop by and visit Wendy at her Manhattan home on a whim. "I just went over to her house," she said. "I've seen certain clips and things like that. I'm the type of person if I see more than what I need to see, I'm gonna have to dig and get to the bottom of certain things and I'm just like, 'Whatever for me is supposed to be for me,' you know what I mean? And I was there for Wendy and I didn't even know that they were, like, filming a documentary." As previously reported, in the fourth episode of the documentary series, White and the esteemed talk show host shared a touching on-screen moment. The former dancer, 35, expressed appreciation for Williams, acknowledging her as a supportive friend who isn't afraid to offer tough love when necessary. Donning no wig and minimal makeup, Williams looked weak and unrecognizable. Her speech also seemed impaired as she spoke with the saved influencer. Watch Video on YouTube The heartfelt moment was tough to watch for fans of Williams, but while difficult, White said it was important for people to see the Hot Topics host in a vulnerable state. Williams has battled alcohol addiction over the years and in February 2023, she was diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, a neurogenic language disorder that can occur following a traumatic brain injury or dementia. All of these issues come to a head in Lifetime's Where Is Wendy Williams? The "Doom" rapper emphasized the significance of removing the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction, drawing from her own journey. She marked a significant milestone in September by celebrating one year of sobriety. "I feel like ... people actually do need to see it 'cause it is happening and it can really, honestly happen to anybody, you just never know, and hopefully, maybe this is gonna help other people to see 'cause I'm gonna tell you this, I did start it, it did make me upset 'cause the struggling with the alcohol like that was one of my things struggling with the alcohol. So to see Wendy, you know, struggling obviously with the alcohol and her substances over the years, you know, it hurts and it's like the alcohol part with me, so it's like I can relate to that."

Way Too Gone: Jeezy Reportedly Wants Primary Custody Of 2-Year-Old Daughter Monaco Amid Jeannie Mai

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 20:34 GMT

Reports have surfaced that Jeezy is "way too gone" in his Jeannie Mai divorce, so much so that he's not seeking reconciliation, and instead is seeking primary custody of their daughter. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Citing court documents, TMZ reports that the rapper, 46, is asking a judge to dismiss the current custody and parenting time arrangement set in place after mediation with his estranged wife, and instead allow his daughter to live with him full-time. Citing the need for their daughter, Monaco Mai Jenkins, 2, to have "more stability", Jeezy reportedly said in court documents that Jeannie's extensive travel schedule is not beneficial to the child. TMZ adds that Jeezy alleged that Jeannie has withheld his parenting time with their child for nearly 2 months and believes that Jeannie's mother and brother take on the majority of care of Monaco. Before filing docs for primary custody, Jeezy told the judge that he agreed to move into the basement of their shared home but Mai "moved out of the residence and took Monaco with her", the outlet adds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeannie Mai (@thejeanniemai) This is just the latest chapter in Jeezy and Jeannie's ongoing divorce.

Following that, he accused Jeannie of "gatekeeping" their daughter but Jeannie fired back in court docs and said that Jeezy had unsecured firearms in his house. Most recently, Jeezy asked a judge to bar the talk show host from using her current divorce lawyers because both attorneys represented the 45-year-old TV personality when they were negotiating the terms of her prenup with Jeezy in 2021.

'Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead' Exclusive: Nicole Richie And Simone Joy Jones Surprisingly Bo

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 20:04 GMT

This weekend marksthe arrival of Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead in theaters! Source: Courtesy / BET+ Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead follows the story of seventeen-year-old Tanya Crandell (Simone Joy Jones) who can't wait to spend the summer living it up with her friends in Spain before heading to Howard University in the fall. But when her mom (Ms. Pat) decides to head to a much-needed wellness retreat in Thailand, Tanya is forced to stay home with her three siblings instead.

Source: Courtesy / BET+ Following the unexpected death of their elderly babysitter (June Squibb), Tanya gets a job working for the confident and ambitious Rose (Nicole Richie). Juggling work, family, and a complicated romance, Tanya faces the responsibility of adulthood at the cost of her summer of freedom. Check out the trailer below: Watch Video on YouTube For our Gen X and millennial readers, you likely still remember the original Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead from the 90's. And we all know remakes can be tricky! BOSSIP's Sr. Content Director Jane Bolden spoke with Nicole Richie and Simone Joy Jones about remaking a classic. "I am a die hard of the original and just immediately when the opportunity came up to play Rose I couldn't believe it," Richie told BOSSIP about the risky decision to sign on for the reboot. "And then I, of course, asked the same question to myself that I think everyone asks - of like, what does that even look like? I jumped on a Zoom with [director] Wade [Allain-Marcus] and you know Wade is not only a director but he's an actor, he is a real artist and he had just such a clear vision of what he wanted to do and what he planned on doing with it. He had everything from color palettes to mood boards to references and I really just felt like I could easily immerse myself in the world that he was going to dive into. I trust him and felt safe with him and was just excited to do it." "All of that and Chuck [Hayward] with the script," Simone Joy Jones added. "I sat down with the script and I remember just laughing out loud when I was reading it and I was like, 'Oh I can't wait!'"

Source: Courtesy / BET+ Jones and Richie make for incredible scene partners in the film, so we were curious to ask about how they built their bond behind the scenes. "OK well first of all Simone is a star," Richie told BOSSIP. "She's just incredible and I love doing scenes with her. I also loved having lunch together every day and we you know we share a love of memes and weird videos, which is not always the case, like you don't always have the same taste in that content and we did." "We just had an the absolute best time and obviously I was one of the older people on set, but once all the kids were there - so were you!" Richie laughed, pointing at Jones. "We were like, 'Wow they have so much energy!' "Oh my God the backflipping, doing tiktoks," Jones interjected. "I was like 'Don't you need a water?' I was like, 'I'll catch you on the inside I'm so tired." "Donielle [T. Hansley Jr.] one night, we wrapped at 10:00 PM and he's like, 'What are we doing after?' I was like, 'After? I have to be here tomorrow,'" Richie finished. "So we share that, which was very it was really fun and sweet to watch and just be a part of." "She's just so amazing and welcoming," Jones added. "You never know what it's going to be like with just new actors or people in general so once she just was just so warm and such a sun I was like, 'I love it!' It was a vibe."

Source: Courtesy / BET+ Richie and Jones closed out the interview by reminiscing about what they were like as 17-year-olds. "Tattoos, my tongue ring, I mean lots of things," Richie told BOSSIP when asked what things she didn't want her mom to be told she'd done. "I got caught for all of them because I have no chill.

Daddy's Home: Heart-Racing R&Zaddy Usher Rounds Out ESSENCE's 'Sexiest Men Of The Moment'

It looks like the social media speculation was true; R&Zaddy Usher is the third panty melter named as one of ESSENCE's "Sexiest Men Of The Moment" and he's doing so while moistening 8701 knickers "Nice & Slow." Source: Adrienne Raquel, @AdrienneRaquel / Essence On Thursday, the publication announced that Usher was claiming the coveted title alongside fellow cover stars Damson Idris and Russell Wilson, and he's baring all. ESSENCE also added that it offers subscribers a second surprise Usher cover. The cover, which features the crooner casually heating up a tub, can be purchased on ESSENCE.com for $12 per year or $18 for two issues.

Usher Talks Fatherhood & His Vegas Residency Inside ESSENCE's "Sexiest Men Of The Moment" Issue Inside Usher's steamy ESSENCE feature, the Grammy Award-winning singer spoke about his life as a father of four and the impact of his Las Vegas residency. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESSENCE (@essence) Usher concluded his electrifying Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live At Park MGM in December 2023, a deeply emotional journey that moved the R&B legend to tears. Throughout 2022, the "Yeah!" singer captivated audiences with consecutive spellbinding performances during his weekend shows at the venue, showcasing his flawless dance moves and extraordinary vocals. His Sin City spectacle became a sensation, garnering viral attention for his sultry impromptu serenades with celebrities such as Kimora Lee Simmons, Keke Palmer, and Issa Rae. For Usher, the residency was more than just a show. It was an opportunity to showcase Black excellence and the power of the "Black dollar." "This was about offering people something that was new: a Black audience that did not exist in Las Vegas and the Black dollar that did not exist in Las Vegas, where casino owners didn't know there was that person who had that extra $2,000 or $3,000 to spend," Usher, 45, told ESSENCE about the impact of his stellar residency. "Furthermore, I was really blown away when I arrived that there wasn't a union for minorities. So I was like, Oh sh-t. This is actually serving more than just the legacy play and celebrating my catalog. It's creating an industry for people who don't have as much power in this city." "So I'm selling the culture that comes from our true background. Every time you see me on stage, you see our Black culture. You see HBCU culture at the Super Bowl. You see skating. You see Atlanta culture. I bring that to the forefront, where that becomes a priority. That is the attraction. But that did not exist in Las Vegas before I was brought there, before my residency." The R&B Icon Told ESSENCE He Loves Spending Time With His Children The R&B powerhouse is gearing up to launch into a multi-city tour fresh off the release of his new album Coming Home, and his record-breaking Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESSENCE (@essence) Despite his busy schedule, the veteran performer makes sure to prioritize his family. Usher shares his eldest sons, Usher "Cinco" Raymond V, 16, and Naviyd, 15, with his ex-wife Tameka Foster. The singer is also a proud father to Sovereign, 3, and son Sire, 2, whom he shares with his wife Jennifer Goicoechea. "I'm cooking breakfast for my babies; I'm changing diapers; I'm reading at bedtime," the celeb shared. "'Seven o'clock on the dot' has obviously changed into something other than the drop top," the "Nice & Slow" hitmaker quipped. "For my older boys, I try to help them understand their homework. I don't get it as much, and I think that is hard for me, honestly. But I do take the time to make them, and make it, a priority, and I do try to understand." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESSENCE (@essence) Usher also actively encourages his children to try and excel at their various extracurricular pursuits, whether they're artistic or athletic. His children understand that spending quality one-on-one time with Dad is a paramount priority for him. "Sovereign has her time, Sire has his time, Naviyd has his time. And Usher-" the father said, before quickly correcting his 16-year-old son's name to Cinco. "He doesn't like to be called Usher. Sometimes he wants his own identity. So Cinco, he has his own time. And they all like different things." View this post on Instagram A post shared by ESSENCE (@essence) We love to see it, Usher!

Karrueche Concerned Chris Brown Brings Bars To Quavo Over Former Bando Baeship With Model

Posted by famousradio — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 17:07 GMT

Source: Prince Williams/ Allen J. Schaben/ Getty Chris Brown recently aimed at Quavo on his track"Freak" for dating his ex-girlfriends (Karrueche Tran in particular) in a poor attempt to be "equals." Breezy recently released the deluxe edition of his album 11:11 and added a few new tracks but none garnered more attention than "Freak." According to Complex, Brown addressed Quavo dating his ex-girlfriend Karrueche in some not-so-subtle bars. "F**king my old b*****s ain't gone make us equal," Brown raps on the track, as heard in the snippet below. "Sipping that 1942 'cause I don't do no Quavo / Freak b***h she like Casamigos not the Migos." Chris Brown takes shot at Quavo on "Freak" on his "11:11" deluxe: "F*cking my old b*tches ain't gone make us equal. Sipping that 1942 cause I don't do no Cuervo (Quavo). Freak b*tch she like Casamigos not the Migos." pic.twitter.com/HOCPEgHbkZ — Rap Alert (@rapalert6) April 11, 2024 In case you can't recall, Quavo and Karrueche had a brief relationship that CB clearly wasn't okay with. Brown dated Karrueche from 2011-2015 and apparently, the fact she would date a rapper afterward still isn't sitting well with his spirit. The two initially sparked dating rumors back in 2017 after being spotted together numerous times but claimed that they were just "good friends." They then reignited dating rumors again in 2017. Watch Video on YouTube Most recently during Paris Fashion Week, Rhude Menswear Fall/Winter 24/25 organizers missed the fact that Chris Brown and Quavo had beef and sat both artists beside each other. Nothing went down, but everyone noticed and Chris Brown commented on the situation on Instagram. "Can't pick who you sit by," he wrote. "F**k all that growth sh*t. N***a not finna fumble my bag for little n***as." Watch Video on YouTube Waiting this long to address Quavo makes Breezy seem more bothered than anything but we get it, the booth is therapeutic. Even with the petty bars "Freak" is a great track that also features Tee Grizzley, Joyner Lucas, and long-time collaborator Lil Wayne. You can listen to Chris Brown's "Freak" below.

Donald Armstrong: Miami Man In Mental Health Crisis Shot 6 Times, Faces Aggravated Assault On An Off

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 18:01 GMT

Source: picture alliance / Getty Once again, someone in dire need of mental health services ends up shot by a police officer who was unqualified to be a first responder in the given situation. Donald Armstrong, 47, was in the midst of a mental health crisis on March 7 when Miami Police Department officers were summoned to his home. According to WSVN, Donald's mother Denise Armstrong dialed 911 in hopes that someone could help her son and lead him to safety. "I just called the police to get him some help. I need y'all just to pray for him please," said Armstrong, "Do that for me, please, Lord." Ms. Armstrong is asking for prayers because when officers arrived on the scene, they shot Donald six times and tased him several more. Let 12 tell it, Donald was holding a screwdriver. However, eye-witness video recordings of the encounter show him lifting his shirt to show that he was unarmed. Not only was Armstrong shot multiple times, he is also now being charged with aggravated assault of a police officer. Ubiquitous civil rights attorney Ben Crump is representing the family. "I think the video shows that the sole basis of filing allegations of aggravated assault was to cover up for the reckless conduct exhibited by one officer," said Larry Handfield, another one of Armstrong's attorneys. It is reported that Donald Armstrong is now suffering paralysis as a result of the six bullet wounds. Manny Morales, Chief of the Miami Police Department, publicly issued a "pledge to ensure that our department does better in addressing calls involving mental and behavioral issues."

Bawwwdy By Thee Stallion: Hot Girl Coach Megan Bares Her Bangin' Body-Ody For 'Women's Health'

Our favorite hot girl Meg Thee Stallion is bringing her bangin' BARE bawwwwwdy to the cover of Women's Health for their May/June Body Issue. Source: Ramona Rosales / Women's Health We've got some excerpts from the Women's Health Body Issue cover interview below, and you can read the full cover story HERE. The May/June 2024 issue of Women's Health, the Body issue featuring Megan Thee Stallion, hits newsstands nationwide on April 23. On her ability to incite inspiration: "I'm that girl. Getting out of bed to work out in the morning is a struggle. I have to get mentally prepared. I'm like, 'I can stay here for another hour, or I can get up and go work out and be a bad b*tch. If I want to be a stallion and not a pony, I got to get up and put in the work.'" We love that Megan's brand continues to still serve her so well that she can make analogies like these. We've seen her beast it out in the gym and it's definitely giving STALLION and not PONY. On suffering mentally and enduring an immense amount of hate after she was shot by rapper and former friend Tory Lanez: "A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time. I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me. As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace. But I'm human." You have to appreciate the transparency that Meg is showing here and in the past as well. It's never easy to admit to hardships but it's made Meg more relatable in the end and clearly she's grown stronger through her vulnerability. On struggling behind-the-scenes while her career continued to heat up: "Before I went onstage, I would be crying half the time because I didn't want to [perform], but I also didn't want to upset my fans. I didn't want to get [out] from under the covers. I stayed in my room. I would not turn the lights on. I had blackout curtains. I didn't want to see the sun. I knew I wasn't myself. It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed. But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself." Mental wellness is so important and we should all be proud of Megan for seeking help.

I used working out to escape and to get happy." Hit the flip for more from the interview. via: https://bossip.com/2631677/megan-thee-stallion-womens-health-magazine/

Eva Marcille Says Her Michael Sterling Divorce Caused Her Dramatic Drop In Weight-'I Found Myself De

Posted by famousradio — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 16:11 GMT

Top model Eva Marcille is opening up about her noticeably slimmed-down figure that sparked disparaging remarks from messy miserables on social media. "Anyone that's ever been through a divorce knows that divorce is hard," said the star. Source: Paras Griffin / Getty On Tuesday's episode of The Tamron Hall Show, the model and reality star opened up about the life events that led to her slimmer appearance and what she did to protect herself from online criticism. During her conversation with Hall, Marcille, 39, disclosed that she experienced a profound depression following her divorce from her ex-husband, Michael Sterling, in 2023.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The America's Next Top Model winner likened the breakup from her spouse of over four years to contracting the stomach flu, an illness that often results in unintentional weight loss. "Anyone that's ever been through a divorce knows that divorce is hard. It's like the stomach flu like you will be skinny afterward. You are a 200-pound person - you're gonna drop at least 30 pounds," the mother of three said. "So for me, I lost weight just naturally going through life and I found myself depressed. Before my divorce, through my divorce just trying to just navigate and rediscover 'Who am I?' I'm not the wife anymore. I'm not someone's someone. I'm someone's mom but if I took the mom away, if I took Madam away, if I took 'Top Model' away like who's Eva? Who am I? And making sure that I prioritize knowing that character and building that character." Watch Video on YouTube When netizens began noticing Marcille's apparent weight loss, users sent all kinds of hurtful messages and comments about her appearance. To protect herself, the model-turned-actress told Tamron that she deactivated her comments section. "Where do you put the negative feelings, things that are not good? Where do you put them? You try to bury them down in your person..." the RHOA star told Hall. During her struggle with depression, Marcille was unaware of her slimmer appearance and the star of All The Queens Men openly admitted that she believed she "looked cute" with her thinner physique.

Source: Derek White / Getty Eva Marcille Told Tamron Hall About Starring In BET+' All The Queens Men Despite criticism, Marcille remains resilient in the face of negative commentary. Recently wrapping up the third season of her acclaimed BET+ series, All The Queens Men, she's filled with joy. Marcille expressed her delight in portraying the powerful businesswoman Marilyn "Madam" DeVille on the show, describing it as "beyond" her "wildest dreams." Marcille elaborated; "As an actor, you just want to work. But to do a job you absolutely love, a character that you love, that feeds people... It is so good." During moments of self-doubt, Marcille finds solace in the invaluable advice she received from Tyra Banks two decades ago, following her victory on America's Next Top Model. "I remember that night. I'd won and we had washed up all of our makeup and I was just on a high. I just was through the roof. And I remember asking Tyra, 'All these beautiful girls. Why me? I'm a regular girl from South Central Los Angeles that was supposed to be - not this. So why me?' And she looked me square in my eyes and said, 'Why not?' And every time I ask myself, 'Why me?' from a blessing or something that God gives me, I always remember, I hear Tyra's saying, 'Why not?,' reminding me. And she planted a seed in me so young, I don't think she realized what she did, or maybe she did, but she planted a seed to remind me that I'm good enough," the star said. Watch Video on YouTube This isn't the first time that Marcille has opened up about the criticism connected to her slim physique. In December, the reality TV star blamed her thin figure on her fast metabolism. "The world be so mad. They be like, 'She needs to eat. She needs to eat.' The difference between me and the rest of the world is that food doesn't stick to me. And I'm not complaining," the star said as she scarfed back some rice and a cold alcoholic beverage. Watch Video on YouTube She also sent love to a fan who reminded critics not to body shame while citing the late Chadwick Boseman as an example. "Please remember Chadwick and watch what you say. Showing love is easier than spewing negativity," wrote @Pretty.prin.

Muah, No Beef! JT & Caresha Kiss Their Super Shady City Spat Goodbye After 'Actin' Up On X, But Fans

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 9 Apr 2024 20:46 GMT

The City Girls have made amends after a nasty back-and-forth exploded between them on X, but social media's still buzzing about their super shady city spat and wondering whether the Florida rap duo is over, periooodt. Yung Miami, real name Caresha Brownlee, took to X on April 8 to make things right with JT after she accused the former of "sneak dissing" her for weeks. "Jatavia. I love you. I'm moving on!" she penned along with a few heart emojis. JT replied to the sweet message writing; "I love you more. I actually love you the most!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) While their argument concluded amicably, the duo's social media spat still has fans questioning if their friendship is still intact. JT And Yung Miami Went At It Amid Accusations Of Sneak Dissing & Jealousy On Monday afternoon, Miami, 30, sent eyebrows raising across X when she accused JT of "sneak dissing" her for weeks on end. "I ain't say sh*t what a b*tch mad at me fa?????!!!!!!" the "50/50" rapper wrote. "I ain't jealous of a soul. l'm always like go b*tch go!!! I clap for everybody I show love to EVERYBODY !! It ain't a b*tch I haven't shown love to!!!!!!" JT quickly reshared the post and aired out her grievances with the Caresha Please podcast host. The "Sideways" hitmaker accused her groupmate of playing dumb and hinted that Miami may have been jealous of her success. She called for a sit down with the femcee so that she could explain her feelings in-depth. "I know I come off crazy but never in my life did no wack sh*t to this girl. She literally enjoys seeing me being dragged when ppl show me love she goes crazy & call it a hate train! But like I said we can sit & talk about it!," JT wrote. "It'll be too much for me to tweet! I will like a sit-down.... Caresha please! And this time leave [Saucy] Santana home!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk) The duo's argument intensified when Miami wrote that she continued to show love to JT after she released her solo tracks "Sideways" and "No Bars," which she believed were diss tracks aimed at her. "You LET THE INTERNET PUT IN YOUR HEAD THAT I'M JEALOUS OF YOU!" said Miami. "WHEN YOU KNOW I'M THE ONE THAT ALWAYS PUSHED US YOU HAVE RESENTMENT TOWARDS TO & that's ok!!!" JT wasn't trying to hear what Miami had to say. The rapper accused the Florida native of "attention seeking" and slammed her for failing to voice her concerns about the alleged diss tracks. "Girl the internet told you that which songs was about you the one saying 'it's city girl sh*t even when it ain't city girl sh*t' that was released under city girls or the one that say riding solo but l'm still in a group?"

Robert Downey Jr. Says He Would 'Happily' Return To Marvel And Reprise 'Integral' Iron Man Role

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 9 Apr 2024 19:15 GMT

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Following his Oscar win, Robert Downey Jr. revealed that he would be open to returning to Marvel for his "integral" role as the MCU's Iron Man. When Marvel released Avengers: Endgame in 2019 it marked a new era for its Cinematic Universe that wouldn't include fan favorite Tony Stark. In the film, Tony Stark sacrificed himself to save the world but left huge shoes to fill. You could argue if Robert Downey Jr. never found his way to the role the entire 10-year run wouldn't have happened. According to Esquire, Even with an Academy Award for Oppenheimer Downey isn't above returning to play Iron Man.. "Happily. It's too integral a part of my DNA. That role chose me. And look, I always say, Never, ever bet against Kevin Feige. It is a losing bet. He's the house. He will always win." Watch Video on YouTube Marvel's Disney Plus shows have been lackluster outside of Loki but as RDJ perfectly stated, Kevin Feige doesn't lose. Also, rumors have suggested that Downey will return to the MCU soon but in what capacity is yet to be seen. Watch Video on YouTube Ironheart is the next Disney Plus show which showcases the Iron Man adjacent character RiRi Williams (Dominique Thorne) who debuted in Wakanda Forever. Williams builds her own Ironman suit and in the old comics eventually uploads Tony Starks' conscious to her suit. Maybe we'll see Robert Downey Jr. come back to Marvel in that way. Hopefully, we get to see RDJ and Thorne on screen together in the future. Watch Video on YouTube via: https://bossip.com/2625817/robert-downey-marvel-return/

'So Help Me Todd' Exclusive Clip: Comeback Queen Jenifer Lewis Guest Stars As An Opera Singer Forced

Posted by famousradio — Tue, 9 Apr 2024 15:15 GMT

Comeback queen Jenifer Lewis is back on television screens after her horrific fall and we've got an exclusive clip of her return on CBS' So Help Me Todd. Source: So Help Me Todd / CBS The iconic actress is guest starring on Thursday's new episode as the mother to Lyle played by Tristen Winger of Insecure fame.

Source: So Help Me Todd / CBS Jenifer portrays Jacquelin , an international opera star and supreme diva, who needs the help of Margaret and Todd after a woman mysteriously dies during her performance. "This is insane, the woman who died was supposed to replace Jaquelin for the next show," says a stage manager to police about what went down. It looks like Lyle's mom will be forced to face the music. Take an exclusive look below. Watch Video on YouTube We're so happy to see Jenifer Lewis acting and in good spirits after her near-fatal fall in Africa. As previously reported the icon recently revealed that in November 2022, she fell 10 feet from a balcony and quietly recovered in silence. Now she's back where she belongs and doing what she does best. "Don't worry about me y'all! Auntie's back WALKING, talking, singing and acting a damn fool!!!" she said on Instagram. We love to see it! A new episode of So Help Me Todd starring Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, Madeline Wise, Tristen J. Winger, Inga Schlingmann, and Rosa Arredondo airs this Thursday, April 11 at 9/8 c on CBS. Watch Video on YouTube About So Help Me Todd: Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin star as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright (Harden) and Todd (Astin), her talented but aimless son whom she hires as her law firm's in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the Wright family, Todd is a laidback, quick-thinking, former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret's penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd's scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations. When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she's surprised to find herself duly impressed by - and proud of - his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a "suitable" path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees, since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves. Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely. The CBS Original drama SO HELP ME TODD airs Thursdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*. *Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers will have access to stream live via the live feed of their local CBS affiliate on the service, as well as on demand.

Wait, What?! Brazilian Man Back With Girlfriend After She Sliced Off His Member For Cheating With Te

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 21:56 GMT

Source: mussi87 / Getty We've reported on our fair share of break-ups and make-ups over the years but this is truly a first. 39-year-old Gilberto Nogueira should probably be in prison and somehow 34-year-old Daiane dos Santos is still his girlfriend. According to the Daily Mail, Nogueira got caught cheating on Dos Santos on her birthday...with her 15-year-old niece. One might be inclined to think that a person would react impetuously upon learning such news, but Dos Santos maintained her composure and played a long game. In December 2023, Dos Santos set up a night of romance for Nogueira that involved a decorated bedroom and a spicy lingerie set. Once he took off his clothes and get into bed, Dos Santos tied his penis with a rubber band, cut it off with a razor blade, took a photo, sent the photo to the family WhatsApp group text, then, flushed it down the toilet of their home in Brazil. Despite all of that, an O Globo reports that Nogueira shared handwritten reconciliation letters that the couple recently sent to one another. "If I hadn't had sex with (her) niece on my partner's birthday, none of this would have happened,' Nogueira told the outlet. 'Daiane is a wonderful, loving woman who loves me. She didn't deserve to be betrayed like that. She was exposed to the whole country. ... I don't care what others think. What really matters is how I feel about her." In the letters, both parties reportedly expressed that they have forgiven each other for their transgressions and hope to reunite when Dos Santos is freed from prison. She was initially looking at 50 years behind bars but the judge in the case set the maximum sentence for 12 years. Her trial is set to begin on April 24, 2024. Nogueira is currently awaiting a penile implant prosthesis that he was gifted by a urologist who will...install it once Nogueira has fully recovered from his multitude of surgeries. via: https://bossip.com/2625564/brazilian-woman-cuts-off-cheating-boyfriends-penis/

Caresha's Correction: Yung Miami Denies Diddy 'Sex Worker' Allegations Amid 50 Cent's Tawdry Trollin

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 17:50 GMT

Yung Miami recently denied that she's a "sex worker" for Diddy as 50 Cent continued trolling with a clip of her calling herself a "whore"-"I'm not a prostitute!" said the City Girl. Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Clearly, 5o Cent isn't letting up on his rap rival or anyone else caught up in Diddy's ongoing investigations and lawsuits. The Power: Book II producer's own baby mama, Daphne Joy, isn't off limits from 50's public "sex worker" shade, and he recently continued the commentary about Diddy's ex, Yung Miami. Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones named Yung Miami, Daphne Joy and Jade Ramey in his $30 million harassment lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs. The producer of Diddy's last studio album claimed the mogul allegedly "bragged about" paying the women a "monthly stipend" for their services as sex workers. Jones also accused the "Act Bad" rapper of transporting a drug called "pink cocaine" for Diddy in April 2023. 50 Cent Shares Shady "Sex Worker" Receipts Of Yung Miami Calling Herself "A Whore"

Source: Astrida Valigorsky / Getty On Sunday, 50 Cent seemingly added to the allegations and posted a clip of the City Girls rapper referring to herself as "a whore" on The Jason Lee Show. When Jason asked Miami to clarify, she simply repeated herself as they both laughed. 50 added an insert of the dictionary definition of a "whore" as a derogatory term for "prostitute." View this post on Instagram A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) "It's ok to be a whore just make sure you're being over paid," 50 Cent captioned the clip. He continued trolling with wordplay and an abbreviation for the taunt he repeatedly used for his ex, Daphne, "Little Sex Worker." "See a Sucker, catch a Sucker, Suck a Sucker dry. You go girl LSW," he continued. Miami sounded off in the comments to once again deny the lawsuit's accusations. She said that the comment was "taken out of context." She clarified that it's "slang" and a common "gay slur" that Jason Lee would understand. However, she made it clear that she "never" did sex work. "It's a gay slur. 'What's up, whore' is something my gay cousin always said to me. It's c**t it's a slang that we said to each other. That's what I was trying to explain to Jason because he's gay and he got what I was trying to say," Miami wrote. "I'm not a prostitute. I never sold [cat emoji] a day in my life," she said. Adding, "I hate how this is getting spun." 50 Cent posted a screenshot of Yung Miami's comment, stating that he meant no harm. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent) "I like at @yungmiami305 I don't want to hurt her, or her feelings," he wrote. The rapper-turned-TV mogul conceded that he could believe Yung Miami was only a girlfriend, but doubled down on accusations about the "other women," including his ex. "I just put her in BMF she cool. I think they was in a relationship but them other women LSW VIBES!" In a follow-up post, 50 Cent added that "@yungmiami305 was like his girlfriend" because she attended the Met Gala with Diddy. "I don't think you take a LSW to the Met Gala. ??yeah I think the other ones were, only fans click the link in my bio type LSW. LOL," he wrote.

LEAVE ME TF ALONE!!! — Yung Miami (@YungMiami305) April 8, 2024 In addition to the endless trolling, 50 Cent also took legal action in response to Jones' lawsuit. He used the allegations as justification to file for sole custody of his son with Daphne Joy, Sire. As BOSSIP previously reported, Daphne denied being an alleged "sex worker" for Diddy and accused 50 Cent of physical and sexual assault. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Daphne Joy (@daphnejoy) Another woman, model Jade Ramey, also denied that she was a "sex worker," stating that she was "in love" with Diddy. The Bad Boy founder denied all allegations against him. In addition to the lawsuits, Homeland Security conducted trafficking raids of Diddy's Miami and Los Angeles homes. His attorney called the probe a "witch hunt." via: https://bossip.com/2625418/yung-miami-denies-diddy-sex-worker-allegations-50-cent-rodney-lil-rod-jones-lawsuit/

Rapper Regrets: J. Cole Apologizes For '7 Minute Drill' Diss To Kendrick, Calls It The 'Lamest S***'

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 17:01 GMT

Source: Gary Miller/Prince Williams/ Getty / Gary Miller/Prince Williams/ Getty Over the weekend, J. Cole used Dreamville Festival to discuss his "7 Minute Drill" diss to Kendrick Lamar and called it the "lamest s** he ever did" while apologizing to his fellow rapper. Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" verse is still snatching souls weeks later despite him being missing in action since its release. Last week, J. Cole stepped into the ring and released "7 Minute Drill" alleging Kendrick's entire career was overhyped, but on April 7, during the rapper's Dreamville Festival, he apparently had a change of heart. According to Variety, J. Cole shocked the crowd by issuing an apology to Kendrick during an impassioned speech. "I'm so proud of [Might Delete Later], except for one part," said Cole while referencing the surprise EP. "It's one part of that sh*t that makes me feel like, man that's the lamest sh*t I did in my f**kin' life, right? And I know this is not what a lot of people want to hear." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dreamville Fest (@dreamvillefest) He then addressed rap fans wanting to "see blood" by having him and Drake beef with Kendrick before saying that his diss "disrupted his peace." "That sh*t don't sit right with my spirit. That sh*t disrupts my f**kin' peace," said Cole." So what I want to say right here tonight is in the midst of me doing that and in that sh*t, trying to find a little angle and downplay this n-a's f**king catalog and his greatness, I want to say right now tonight, how many people think Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest motherf**ker's to ever touch a f**kin' microphone? Dreamville, y'all love Kendrick Lamar, correct? As do I." As if he didn't already get his point across, he continued and even told Kendrick to take his best shot in response. This would become the focus of social media chatter well into the early morning hours. "I just want to come up here and publicly be like, bruh, that was the lamest, goofiest sh*t. I say all that to say it made me feel like 10 years ago when I was moving incorrectly. And I pray that God will line me back up on my purpose and on my path, I pray that my n-a really didn't feel no way and if he did, my n-a, I got my chin out. Take your best shot, I'ma take that sh*t on the chin boy, do what you do. All good. It's love. And I pray that y'all will like, forgive a n-a for the misstep and I can get back to my true path. Because I ain't gonna lie to y'all. The past two days felt terrible. It let me know how good I've been sleeping for the past 10 years." You have to respect Cole for being vulnerable and admitting he was a fish out of water on his diss track. One thing will cure all of the slander heading his way, and that's great music. Hopefully, J. Cole can deliver and put this behind him in full. You can watch his full speech from the Dreamville Festival below.

Jonathan Majors Avoids Jail Time, Sentenced To 1 Year Of Domestic Violence Intervention Program

Posted by famousradio — Mon, 8 Apr 2024 16:10 GMT

Jonathan Majors has avoided jail time after being convicted of reckless assault and harassment back in December. Source: Gilbert Flores / Getty The charges against Majors carried a sentence of up to one year in prison, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Instead, the actor was sentenced to a 52-week domestic violence intervention program, which he will be required to attend in person. This sentencing comes after prosecutors asked for a sentence of domestic violence programming, along with a six-month jail alternative if Majors does not complete the program. They also asked for a full order of protection for his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The full order of protection was granted and the domestic violence intervention program is set to take place in Los Angeles. The former Marvel actor is also required to continue with both mental health counseling and therapy, providing the court with updates on treatment. If Majors does not comply, Judge Michael Gaffey said he could face up to 364 days in jail for his misdemeanor charge. Majors' attorneys are already trying to navigate his hopeful return to the entertainment industry, asking about being able to conduct some of his domestic violence intervention program sessions virtually in the event that he gets a job that films outside of Los Angeles. If and when Majors gets an employment opportunity, Judge Gaffey said his attorneys can file with the court to ask for the virtual sessions at that time. The 34-year-old's charges, which are a misdemeanor and a violation, are from an interaction between Majors and his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari on March 25, 2023. While the couple were riding in a car, Jabbari testified that she saw a text on her boyfriend's phone from another woman, causing her to grab the phone from him. In response, Jabbari says Majors pried her finger off of the phone, twisted her arm, and hit her head to get the phone away from her. She said he later threw her back into the car after the altercation got more heated. A jury convicted the actor on two charges but found Majors not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated harassment in the second degree after a two-week trial. via: https://bossip.com/2625465/jonathan-majors-sentencing-domestic-violence/

Running From Racism: Raleigh's First Black-Owned Children's Bookstore, Liberation Station, Closing D

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 7 Apr 2024 18:42 GMT

Source: UCG / Getty Unbowed and Unbroken: Liberation Station's Brave Stand Against Intolerance Liberation Station, North Carolina's first Black-owned children's bookstore, was forced to close after less than a year because of death threats. The clear pattern of a certain demographic doing everything in their power to keep children from reading continues. The store's grand opening on Juneteenth, 2023, marked a moment full of progress and promise. "It was a day of joy, a celebration of diversity and literature," said Victoria Scott-Miller in a social media post on the Liberation Station Instagram account. It is so disheartening hearing about Liberation Station bookstore. I actually submitted my children's book to be reviewed and sold in their store last month. To hear that they've been FORCED OUT due to safety reasons..smh. It's 2024 man. — J. (@gldngddss777) April 7, 2024 Founded by Victoria Scott-Miller, the bookstore aimed to showcase stories by Black and POC authors and illustrators, enriching the community and providing young readers with diverse narratives. However, the celebration was soon overshadowed by safety concerns. Facing Harassment: Security Concerns for a Black-Owned Bookstore Within months of its grand opening, Scott-Miller reported a series of threats against the bookstore. In one disturbing incident, an anonymous caller provided specific details about her son's clothing. These threats forced the bookstore to alter its operations. Scott-Miller tried changing business hours and implementing new safety strategies in an effort to protect staff and visitors. This announcement has left many wondering about the motives of the threats. "Liberation" might have pissed off the righties too. — Professor Smartass @ProfessorSmartass@sfba.social (@prof_smartass) April 6, 2024 Landlord's Lack of Support: Searching for New Tenants The challenges escalated when Scott-Miller sought assistance from the building's landlord, hoping for support in addressing the harassment. Instead, she was informed that the landlord was considering new tenants for the space. The move felt like a betrayal of the bookstore's mission and safety efforts. "Instead of support, we were met with the prospect of being replaced," Scott-Miller said via the Instagram post. This lack of support from the property owner added to the adversity faced by Liberation Station, highlighting the broader challenges Black-owned businesses encounter. A black-owned children's book store in Raleigh, NC is closing because the owners kept receiving death threats and hate mail. But go off on how racism doesn't exist anymore. — Karim #FreePalestine ?? (@shift_in2_turbo) April 6, 2024 Looking Ahead: The Continued Mission of Liberation Station According to NewsOne, Liberation Station will vacate its current location by April 30, she emphasized that this is not the end of the bookstore's journey but rather a pivot to continue their mission elsewhere. The bookstore will operate until April 13, after which it plans to donate the remaining inventory to literacy nonprofits in the Triangle area, ensuring that their educational impact endures. If you live in Raleigh you HAVE yo go to the First Black Owned bookstore in the city! Liberation Station is Closing April 13th! Get it going!! — hangeZoe ???? (@LovveCami) April 6, 2024 Scott-Miller's resilience and commitment to providing access to diverse children's literature underscore the importance of Liberation Station's mission. "Leaving Fayetteville Street is not the end of our story," the post by Scott-Miller concludes. As the bookstore prepares for its next chapter, its story remains a powerful testament to the strength of community and the enduring fight for representation and safety in the face of adversity. It is also a reminder that hate-fueled movements like conservative book bans won't stop with schools and libraries. via: https://bossip.com/2624556/raleigh-first-blackowned-bookstore-closing-after-death-threats/

'I Was In Love!' Diddy's Ex Jade Ramey Clears Her Name After Lawsuit Stated She Is A 'Sex Worker'

Posted by famousradio — Sun, 7 Apr 2024 17:42 GMT

Model Jade Ramey was recently accused of being a "sex worker" for Diddy in one of the many lawsuits against him, but she claims they were together for romance, not finance. Ramey denies the allegations, stating that she was in a formal relationship with the Bad Boy founder. As BOSSIP reported, Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, a music producer who previously worked with Sean "Diddy" Combs, filed a $30 Million lawsuit against him. The lawsuit made several allegations of sexual assault, abuse, human trafficking, and drug trafficking. According to ET Online, the lawsuit names model Jade Ramey and several others. The music producer alleges that Ramey and others received a "monthly fee" to work as personal sex workers for Diddy. Ramey denies the allegations but does admit that she dated the father of seven during the time of Jones's employment. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jade Ramey (@jaderamey) In a statement through her publicist, Ramey told ET, "Yes, I dated someone. Dating someone doesn't directly correlate to any of the false allegations made." She continued, "How unfortunate we've entered a time where caring for someone or falling in love is worthy of scrutiny in the court of public opinion. What may be amusing for you is real life for others, and my feelings have never been for entertainment, nor are they up for discussion." Ramey also stated that she has received several positive messages, but hopes that people will think twice before "ridiculing people's lives." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jade Ramey (@jaderamey) Court documents also named Yung Miami and Daphne Joy as Diddy's alleged sex workers. Joy, who is a former girlfriend of 50 Cent, has vehemently denied these allegations. Yung Miami was also accused of trafficking drugs for Diddy, but she has denied all allegations. via: https://bossip.com/2624524/diddy-ex-jade-ramey-clears-her-name-after-lawsuit-stated-she-is-a-sex-worker/

She also spoke on girl code amid her friend's controversial decision to permit her to pursue someone she previously hooked up with. "There's too many fish to be out here sharing," said the outspoken southern belle.

I'm so glad that #SummerHouseMV is back on TV! This was a great premiere episode! It was great to see the shift in friendship dynamics and also some potential conflicts! Also I love the new addition of Noelle, she is HILARIOUS - that's ATL for you! #SummerHouseMarthasVineyard pic.twitter.com/iRoMFBitCh — Ameen Price-Burnett (@ShowStopper93) March 25, 2024 Noelle is SUCHHH a great addition to #SummerHouseMV she's hilarious! — N E L L Y ????????

(@cedricaxo) April 1, 2024 Noelle Hughley Talks The Summer House Martha's Vineyard Hookup Between Summer & Alex Throughout season two, the ATLien will continue forming friendships within the group that she was invited to join by her homegirl, Summer. And while she came in as Summer's friend, there's buzz brewing about whether or not a certain castmate Summer "hung out with" is off-limits.

Source: Bryan Bedder / Bravo As previously reported Summer informed the group during a dramatic outburst that she and fellow #SummerHouseMV star Alex hooked up after he neglected to invite her to an event. An upset Summer told Alex (and the whole house) that she was especially disappointed because Alex had been "inside her"... View this post on Instagram A post shared by OMFGRealityTV (@omfgrealitytv) but despite that, she still permitted Noelle to pursue the creative director. Noelle just learned something new about Summer and Alex's past... see it all unfold TONIGHT on #SummerHouseMV! pic.twitter.com/YEnneZaGxW — Bravo (@BravoTV) March 31, 2024 Summer recently told our sister site Global Grind that her passing Alex off to Noelle is "no big deal" because she was never interested in anything more than a casual situation with him.

Summer Marie Thomas/ Source: Bryan Bedder / Bravo "I was never checking for Alex like, that because I never wanted that type of commitment with him," said Summer. "I was like, 'We've hung out, but there's nothing there, so if you want to pursue that please [do]. Who's to say that - because we're adults, we do adult things - I don't want that to get in the way of what could be. He could be the love of your life. That is not the person for me, so I am big enough to not stand in the way. Just because we've engaged in activities, doesn't mean that he's mine forever." "Why does it even matter anymore? To me, I don't care," she added.

Alex Tyree/ Source: Bryan Bedder / Bravo According to Noelle, however, she was immediately turned off when she learned the true nature of Alex and Summer's relationship because she thinks there are "too many fish in the sea" to pursue the same person. Mind you, she completely missed Summer's "inside me" dinner outburst and thought her friend only"hung out" with Alex fully clothed. "If you want to explore this with Alex. Go ahead" Summer reminds me of Danielle at Winter House. Saying she doesn't care but I think she will care when Noelle hooks up with Alex. #SummerHouseMV pic.twitter.com/FlKVrdgM0e — esteco ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ???? ?? ?? ?? (@esteco2) April 1, 2024 "Honestly, I'm disappointed," Noelle told BOSSIP's Managing Editor Dani Canada about the situation. "She [Summer] was the person who introduced me to the show so I was in communication with her all the time leading up to this. I was just like, 'Hey watching you on the show last year, it looked like you and Alex did hit it off. What is that like now because I have seen him in person and he is attractive.'" "So I'm being aware that if we are in the house if that is something where we connect I would want to know what that situation was prior [and] she told me I had nothing to worry about. She said they were just hanging out and my definition of hanging out is strictly hanging out because if I say I'm hanging out with my girls, I'm hanging out with my family we're not knocking boots. "

Source: Kareem Black / Bravo "So the fact that I wasn't provided that information, I feel like she wasn't keeping it real with me," Noelle continued. "I'm not asking for details, but what I am asking for is for you to just let me know, like, 'Hey, me and him did have a history prior. You can do whatever you want with that information.'" Because I get it there are friendships where there are different rules and I'm not judging anybody for that, to each his own. But for me and how I like to operate, there's too many men out here-there's too many fish, too many Branzino to be out here very much sharing the same man." "I just felt like she just kind of like stuck me out there and left me out to dry. Now I'm having to think about like how this might be portrayed as me being a backstabbing friend." Noelle Hughley Talks Summer House Martha's Vineyard Friendships Despite what could be a sticky situation considering the Alex/Summer hookup, Noelle told BOSSIP that she had a great time at the summertime sanctuary where Amir "embraced her as a sister", she enjoyed her "Capricorn sister" Jordan and bonded with Bria over their mutual "good energy."

Source: Bryan Bedder / Bravo "If you only knew my story, I feel like God allowed things to happen and even the memories I've made from this-I got some girls, these are my girls, like I'm riding at dawn!" Noelle told BOSSIP. "But also I was vulnerable and I put myself out there, which if you would've asked me five years ago to do this, I might've been more timid. I might've been more reserved where I wasn't authentically being myself and the fact that I feel like I shed new skin, I'm just embracing this moment as it is what it is and just give it your best shot." "I feel good about this," she added. "From the good, to he bad, I'm just thankful for everything and the memories that I really will be able to cherish." Watch our exclusive with Noelle Hughley! A new episode of Summer House Martha's Vineyard airs tonight, Sunday, April 7 at 9 EST on Bravo. via: https://bossip.com/2623275/summer-house-marthas-vineyard-noelle/

Cowboy Carter Curbs Court! Beyonc 's $3 Million IRS Battle Continues After Tax Trial Delay

Posted by famousradio — Sat, 6 Apr 2024 21:53 GMT

Beyonc , who has been basking in the success of her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, is now facing a legal battle. The court postponed Beyonc 's tax trial for the staggering sum of nearly $3 million. Source: Michael Buckner / Getty Per RadarOnline, the IRS issued a Notice of Deficiency to the renowned "16 Carriages" singer in January 2023. The notice claimed that Beyonc had not made proper payments on two tax returns, resulting in a debt of $2.7 million, including taxes, penalties, and interest. The IRS alleges she owes $805,000 in taxes and $161,000 in penalties for 2018, $1.4 million in taxes, and $288,00 in penalties for 2019. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyonce (@beyonce) Challenging the IRS's claims, the mother of three filed a petition in April 2023 with the U.S. Tax Courts, denying any debt to the IRS. She argued that the reported figures were incorrect and that she was unfairly denied deductions amounting to millions of dollars. The singer stated that the IRS denied her deduction of nearly $870,000 in charitable donations and $473,000 in legal fees. According to RadarOnline, Queen Bey is not willing to pay the penalty fees. She reportedly believes the penalty fees shouldn't apply to her because she meant no harm and "acted reasonably and in good faith." A representative from the IRS denied each allegation in the filed petition and defended the hefty tax bill. They are also asking the judge to deny her petition. Seemingly, both parties are unwilling to back down, causing the case to go to trial. Beyonc 's Tax Trial Delayed View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyonce (@beyonce) Beyonc 's day in court was scheduled for May 2024 but has recently been delayed. The 42-year-old filed a motion for continuance on April 2, 2024. The IRS agreed to honor the motion. Her legal team did not give a reason for filing the continuance. The case has no new start date yet and longer appears on the court calendar. In court documents, Judge Maurice B. Foley stated, "This case is stricken from the trial session. The undersigned retains jurisdiction. The parties shall file a status report or proposed stipulated decision by 07/05/24." If the two parties cannot reach a decision by July 2024, this case will go to trial in the U.S. Tax Courts. Both sides will have to convince the judge, as a jury will not be present. Beyonc , represented by Michael C. Cohen, has not made a public statement regarding her tax woes. RadarOnline also reported that Jay-Z is not indicated in the case because they do not file joint taxes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyonce (@beyonce) If the singer cannot prove her case, the court will order her to pay the $2.7 million tab. The singer reportedly racked in over $500 million during her Renaissance World Tour, and fans already anticipate an upcoming summer tour of her new country-esque album, Cowboy Carter. Nevertheless, if the court orders Bey to pay, the tax bill won't put a dent in her billionaire status via: https://bossip.com/2624023/beyonces-irs-battle-continues-after-her-tax-trial-delay/
