#RHOA: Porsha Williams Talks Finally Embracing Her Truth And Being Attracted To Women
We know that Porsha is attracted to women, but where on the spectrum does she land? In the LGBTQIA of it all, Porsha said she’s the “P.”
Porsha calls herself “Porsha-sexual” In a new interview with former RHOA producer, Carlos King, Porsha talked openly about her sexuality. However, it sounds like she’s avoiding any formal labels. When he asked her if she identified as the “G” in LGBTQIA, she cheekily responded that she’s the “P.”
Carlos tried to clarify, “Pansexual?”
The RHOA star replied, “Porsha-sexual!”
Apparently, being Porsha-sexual is nothing new for her. She said she “always knew” but first noticed her interest in girls when she was school-aged. She used to smooch with another girl on the playground.
Porsha explained, “As an adult, when you’re really thinking about your sexuality, I knew that I was attracted to women. I just never envisioned it being like a true lifestyle.”
Naturally, things changed after divorcing Simon Guobadia. Porsha said she took a closer look at her life and asked herself some serious questions about what she wanted her future to look like.
Porsha explained, “I think that with what came with my last divorce came me honestly saying, ‘What do I want for my life? Where could my heart lead me? If I were to ever be in another relationship, how can I do that ss authtnic as authentic as I can?'”
Meanwhile, the RHOA Season 17 cameras started rolling, and she introduced us to a man named Mike Anthony in the premiere. Sway entered the picture in the following episode, proving exactly what it means to be “Porsha-sexual.”
When talking about the back and forth between Sway and Mike, Porsha said it felt a little bit like a season of The Bachelorette. Ultimately, Sway ended up with the final rose.
Porsha explained, “As I dated Mike and as I dated Patrice, I said, ‘You know what: I’m going to go with the energy that feels the best to me. I’m going to go where the energy and the love feels like home.'”
“And I found that in her,” she gushed. “I just found it with her.”
#MusicNews: THE KING! Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” Eyes Billboard 200 Return After ‘Michael’ Movie Surge
Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which is undeniably in the conversation for the greatest album ever made, is reportedly aiming for a top 15 re-entry on the Billboard 200 following the release buzz surrounding the Michael film, according to HITS Daily Double.
Across streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, Michael’s numbers have been climbing again. A new generation is discovering him, while older fans are revisiting music that never really left rotation. Even his overrated “Scream” track with Janet is getting love.
And let’s be honest, most people have heard at least half of Thriller, whether they realize it or not. The album houses monsters like “Billie Jean,” “Thriller,” and “Beat It,” songs that became cultural landmarks. Real ones also know deeper gems like “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing),” “Human Nature,” and “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.”
Released in 1982, Thriller did more than dominate charts. It reshaped pop music, music videos, and global celebrity culture. It became the best-selling album of all time, with estimated worldwide sales exceeding 70 million copies and certifications that include multi-platinum and diamond honors in numerous markets.
So if Thriller jumps back into the top 15 now, that is just bonus territory. The game was already won decades ago.

Comedian Sinbad to return to stage after suffering serious stroke
Comedian Sinbad is making his return to live comedy following a stroke that left him unable to perform.
The 69-year-old joker plans to make his comeback at California’s Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena Wednesday night. He posted video on Instagram telling fans that have been badgering him about returning to the stage that the wait is over.
The funnyman, born David Adkins, said he hasn’t been able to walk since his health took a turn for the worse in 2020. He said he plans to “get my feet” with this week’s show and a second performance at the same venue on May 10.
Sinbad will have two opening acts, including a newcomer he’s excited to see.
“One of them is kind of new in the game, it’s my daughter Paige Bryan,” he announced. “That’s the first time we worked together as comics on stage. I’m looking forward to this because she talks more trash than I talk.”
Comedian Chase Anthony is also part of the act. Both shows are sold out.
Sinbad suffered a stroke after a blood clot traveled from his heart to his brain, his family said in 2022.
He made his return to acting in the 2025 Tyler Perry film “Straw.”
“He delivered,” Perry told Entertainment Tonight when the movie opened in June.
Sinbad made a name for himself on the televised talent show “Star Search” in 1984, where he competed with future “Saturday Night Live” star Dennis Miller in the comedian competition.
His acting career took off when he was cast as Coach Walter Oakes on “The Cosby Show” spinoff “A Different World” in 1987.
Ving Rhames doing 'fine' after collapsing at restaurant
On Wednesday, editors at TMZ reported that the actor suffered a medical emergency while dining at the Granville restaurant in North Hollywood with his family that afternoon.
Rhames was transported to hospital. But in a statement issued to Variety, a spokesperson confirmed that the 66-year-old was doing OK and "on his way home" again.
"He sounded like everyday Ving and cracked a joke over the phone," his manager told the outlet.
Rhames is known for playing Marsellus Wallace in 1994's Pulp Fiction and Luther Stickell in all eight instalments of the Mission: Impossible film franchise.
Most recently, he appeared in thriller movie Uppercut and in the Apple TV crime drama Dope Thief.
The New York City native also hosted the new History Channel series, History's Deadliest with Ving Rhames.
NBA Star Tristan Thompson Seeks Conservatorship Of Disabled Brother Amari Thompson-Requests Control Over Medical Care & Personal Decisions
Tristan Thompson has reportedly filed new legal paperwork seeking conservatorship over his younger brother, Amari Thompson, following years of caring for him after a devastating family loss.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Tristan — who previously had Amari under a guardianship — is now asking the court to appoint a conservator to oversee his brother’s records, approve medical treatment, and make educational decisions on his behalf.
The filing also states Tristan wants authority to manage Amari’s “social and s*xual contacts,” a request that has drawn public attention.
As previously reported, Tristan and Amari’s mother, Andrea Brooks, died on January 5, 2023. Tristan says he stepped in to care for Amari after her passing.
He also claims their father, Trevor Thompson, has been absent for years, failed to pay child support, and has not contacted Amari since July 2014.
Simone Biles Says She’s Staying at Home ‘for the Foreseeable Future’ Because the Cost of Being a Celebrity Is Too High
Biles, 29, who has become a regular fixture at celebrity events in recent years—particularly after taking a step back from professional sport—took to TikTok to lament the soaring cost of red carpet preparation, claiming that the price of her stylist fee, along with her hair and makeup artists, for a recent event hit a sky-high $23,000.
The three-time Olympian began her video by asking her fellow celebrities, athletes, and influencers to share their experiences, questioning whether the price she had paid was the "new normal," adding that, if it is, she is happy to skip all future events.
"If you're a celebrity, athlete, influencer, these questions are for you," she said, while relaxing in the living room of her custom-built Texas mansion.
"I just need to know if this is normal. Because I know going outside is expensive as f--k these days, but is it this expensive? I just recently had a red carpet event [and] with the stylist fee, hair and makeup team, my grand total ... any guesses? I'll wait. It's probably higher than what you're thinking. Keep going.
"Yeah, $22,000. Actually $23,000."
Biles further noted that while she "gets inflation" and appreciates that "prices these days have gone up," she does not feel equipped to continue paying that sum every time she needs to attend an event—claiming that she will simply turn down future invitations if she's going to have to fork out that much to feel her best in front of the cameras.
Gymnast Simone Biles has warned that she will forgo all future red carpets event and instead remain at home "where it's free," because the cost of getting glammed up for the cameras has become too expensive for her to justify.TIKTOK / SIMONE BILES
"I just want to know, is that f--king normal? I get inflation, I get prices these days have gone up," she went on. "But if that's the new norm, you all can have it, you all will never see me at another event. I'm going to sit my ass right here, where it's free. Free!"
The gymnastics superstar, who has an estimated net worth of around $25 million, then questioned others who attend these kind of star-studded events to share their own experiences, asking whether anyone else has encountered such a significant price tag attached to glam services.
She then joked that, if $23,000 is the expectation moving forward, she would sooner return to her gymnastics career than continue pursuing a more celebrity-centric career path.
"So yeah, please just let me know below in the comments, because I'm kind of spiraling since then," she shared. "Because I see a lot of y'all at events and there's no way you guys are paying these prices each and every time. Because some of y'all be outside for real.
"But there's just no way. And if so, baby let me go put that leotard back on, because ... yeah. Actually no, I just won't go."
However, while Biles admitted her horror over the prices of the services she required, she urged her followers not to target the experts that she worked with, insisting that her video was more about seeking answers instead of criticizing those who work in the fashion and beauty industries.
"By the way, my intention for this video isn't so you guys can go and bash people or whatever the case is," she said. "There's no ill intent, I just need to know if this is normal, that's really it. Because if it is, I'm staying inside."
While the athlete did not share details about the event for which she was forced to pay $23,000 in styling and beauty fees, she most recently stepped out on the red carpet at the star-studded Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, Spain, where she wore a feathered gown from designer brand Cong Tri.
espite the cost of her glam team, Biles did praise their work on her social media accounts, noting that she felt like she was attending the sporting version of the Oscars.
Luckily for Biles, should she decide to miss out on future red carpet events, she will still be able to enjoy the ultimate in luxury at her home in Spring, TX, which she and husband Jonathan Owens have outfitted with all manner of upscale amenities.
D4vd Bought Two Chainsaws Shovel After Killing Celeste Rivas Prosecutors Claim – FINISHED
D4vd faces murder charges after prosecutors detail the gruesome evidence they’ve compiled against the singer in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Prosecutors just dropped the details on what they’re claiming D4vd did to 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and it’s absolutely horrific.
The evidence paints a picture of calculated premeditation, with the singer allegedly purchasing tools specifically designed to dispose of her body after stabbing her to death at his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025.
According to the court filings, D4vd ordered an Uber to bring Celeste from Lake Elsinore to his place, then stabbed her and let her bleed out.
The next day, he hit up Home Depot for a shovel delivered through Postmates. A week later, he went on Amazon and grabbed two chainsaws, then followed up with a body bag, heavy-duty laundry bags, and a blue inflatable pool.
All of it shipped to his crib. He used a fake name, “Victoria Mendez,” to cover his tracks, but prosecutors say the purchases tell the whole story.
The medical examiner found blue plastic fragments embedded in her body parts, consistent with the pool material.
Prosecutors allege he placed her corpse in that pool to prevent blood from spilling across his garage floor, then used the chainsaw to dismember her.
The details are gruesome: he allegedly amputated her ring and pinky fingers because she had his name tattooed on her ring finger. That tattoo was never recovered.
The relationship started when she was just 11 years old in 2022, but prosecutors say the sexual abuse began in November 2023 when she was 13 and he was 18.
When sheriff’s deputies called him in February 2024 after finding his number in her phone, he claimed he didn’t know she was a minor.
That didn’t stop him. He paid a student a $1,000 to deliver a phone he’d bought for her, and they traveled together to Las Vegas, London, and Texas throughout 2024.
The night before her death, they fought over text.
She was jealous about him hooking up with other women and threatened to expose his criminal conduct and destroy his career.
His album was dropping in three days.
At 10:30 PM, just 20 minutes after she arrived at his home, he texted her phone asking where she was.
Prosecutors say that was part of his cover-up plan. An hour later, he drove to Santa Barbara County to dispose of evidence.
Celeste’s family released a statement saying, “Celeste was a beautiful, strong girl who loved to sing and dance. Every Friday night was movie night and we spent wonderful times together. We love her very much and she always told us that she loved us. We miss her deeply. All we want is Justice for Celeste.”
According to TMZ, her body was found in his Tesla trunk in September 2025, nearly 16 months after her death, separated into two bags.
D4vd was arrested on April 16, 2026, and was allegedly in possession of 40 terabytes of child pornography at the time of his arrest.
He faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
He’s jailed without bail and has pleaded not guilty.
His attorneys maintain his innocence, but the evidence prosecutors have compiled tells a different story.
Michael Jackson Was An Honorary Crip?
Roy Fegan set it off. And now we must discuss. Michael Jackson had one foot in Hollywood but was not shy about Los Angeles street culture. There’s a rumor that MJ was a Crip! When he filmed “Beat It,” he famously brought in real gang members to give the choreography an authentic edge. Years later, the “Bad” video leaned into a similar aesthetic, with actor Wesley Snipes, but very real-feeling environment (I think New York).
OG comedian/actor/producer Roy Fegan added fuel to the fire when he claimed Michael once “threw up the C” in a circle that included alleged members of the Crips. Roy Fegan is best known for his role in The Five Heartbeats and for moving in the same circles as Michael Jackson. He was there. Here is exactly what he said, “Mike threw up the C when all the real gangbangers and Crips were in the circle… some of them were bona fide killers.” He was on the set of “The Way You Make Me Feel.”
Michael was known for immersion. He brought realism into his art. Bringing actual gang members into “Beat It” was about credibility. But for many, MJ was about that life to some extent. It gets fuzzy. He also wore a lot of blue too. Why wouldn’t the set want MJ as an “honorary member” for the ages? I do not know if Fegan is a member, but he seems to be able to speak for them.
There’s no clear cut evidence that Michael Jackson was ever a member, honorary or otherwise, of any gang. But I am thinking they’ll continue to claim him because he was so cool.
And if we’re being honest, there’s something almost poetic about it. The most global pop figure in history understood their power and presence. Say no more.
'He-Man' Co-Creator Roger Sweet Dies at 91 After Battle With Dementia
Roger Sweet, the toy designer credited with helping bring He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to life, has died at the age of 91 following a battle with dementia.
Sweet passed away peacefully at a care facility, according to TMZ, months after his declining health had been publicly shared by his wife, Marlene. Earlier this year, she revealed that he had been diagnosed with dementia and required specialized memory care, prompting a fundraiser to help cover the high cost of treatment.
Sweet’s impact on pop culture dates back to his time at Mattel in the late 1970s and early 1980s. After the company missed out on the rights to produce toys for Star Wars, executives sought a new concept that could compete in the booming action figure market. Sweet, then a lead designer, pitched the idea of a powerful, muscular hero, an idea that would evolve into the He-Man franchise.
The character debuted as part of the Masters of the Universe toy line in 1982 and quickly became a massive success. The following year, the franchise expanded with the animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, turning the character into a global icon and cementing Sweet’s place in toy and entertainment history.
In recent months, Sweet’s condition had worsened. His wife previously shared that he suffered a serious fall that led to further complications, including brain injuries, before being moved into long-term care. The fundraiser launched to support his medical needs drew widespread support from fans and the industry, surpassing its original goal and receiving contributions from organizations tied to his work.
Sweet’s passing comes as a new live-action Masters of the Universe film prepares for release later this year, highlighting the lasting relevance of the world he helped create.
Erika Kirk Appears to Call Out Druski for Wearing 'Whiteface' to Parody Her
The conservative influencer and Turning Point CEO called out her detractors on the Wednesday (April 29) episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, named after her late husband and right-wing political activist who was shot and killed last September.
Last month, Druski released a skit of himself in whiteface and a wig—closely resembling Erika—titled “How Conservative White Women in America Act.”
“I have comedians dressing up in whiteface,” Kirk said, appearing to reference Druski. “I have people saying I'm not fit to be CEO. And I have Candace Owens claiming I murdered my husband. And the list goes on and on and on.”
Kirk’s statement comes just weeks after President Donald Trump signaled for the conservative personality to “sue his ass off,” meaning Druski.
Hailey Baptiste took down No. 1 and made history doing it
When Hailey Baptiste walked off the court in Miami last month after a quarterfinal defeat to Aryna Sabalenka, she carried more than the sting of the loss. She carried a blueprint. She said afterward that the match could have gone differently with sharper play, and that honest self-assessment followed her all the way to Spain.
When the Madrid Open draw paired her against Sabalenka again on Tuesday night, Baptiste was not the same player who had lost in Florida. The 24-year-old stunned world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (6) in two hours and 30 minutes, saving six match points to earn the biggest win of her career. She became the first player to beat Sabalenka from match points down since Iga Swiatek did so in the 2024 Madrid final.
Sabalenka controlled the opening set with authority, breaking serve twice and taking it 6-2 without much resistance. Baptiste stayed composed. The match shifted when Baptiste started mixing in more variety, using drop shots, net approaches, and changes of pace to pull Sabalenka out of rhythm.
The second set belonged entirely to Baptiste. She broke twice early and, despite Sabalenka pulling a break back, closed it out 6-2 to level the match. Sabalenka later pointed to a pair of double faults in the opening game of the second set as the turning point, saying they gave Baptiste the belief she needed. From that moment, Baptiste pressed harder with each game.
The third set swung back and forth. Sabalenka broke first for 2-0. Baptiste broke back and led 4-3. Sabalenka broke again and served for the match at 5-4, earning five match points. Baptiste saved all of them. She saved the first with an ace. Sabalenka held a sixth and final match point at 6-5 in the tiebreak, but Baptiste saved it, won the next three points, and converted her lone match point to seal the win.
The victory snapped Sabalenka’s 15-match winning streak, which had included title runs at Indian Wells and Miami. Baptiste broke Sabalenka six times, the most by any opponent this season, and served 12 aces, the most in a single WTA-level clay-court match against Sabalenka in her career. She entered the Madrid Open ranked No. 88 in the world. She is now closing in on a debut inside the Top 30. This week alone she doubled her career total of Top 10 wins on the WTA Tour, moving from two to four. Baptiste had already defeated No. 8 Jasmine Paolini and No. 11 Belinda Bencic before taking down Sabalenka, making this the best tournament of her career by a significant margin.
Baptiste grew up in Washington, D.C., near the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, where she came up through community programs including the William Fitzgerald Tennis Center and the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland. She grew up watching Venus and Serena Williams, and later, at 17, made her first mark on the professional tour by upsetting Madison Keys in her debut WTA main-draw match.
Baptiste became the second American to defeat the world No. 1 in Madrid, after Serena Williams beat Victoria Azarenka in the 2012 final. That line of succession is not lost on anyone who followed her path from D.C. rec courts to a Madrid quarterfinal.
Baptiste will next face world No. 9 Mirra Andreeva in the Madrid Open semifinals, which begin Thursday at 10 a.m. ET on Tennis Channel. Andreeva is a fearless ball-striker who reached the semifinals by beating Leylah Fernandez, and the match will test whether Baptiste’s run has staying power or was built for one specific night.
The reaction from across the sport was immediate. Jessica Pegula and Frances Tiafoe celebrated on social media with a wave of enthusiasm that captured the collective disbelief. Sabalenka, for her part, was direct in her assessment after the match, crediting Baptiste for playing brave tennis throughout and offering no excuses for how the night ended.
The French Open begins in late May. Baptiste has already shown what she can do on clay.
The US Supreme Court Just Gutted the Voting Rights Act US gutting provision that prevented racial discrimination
The Supreme Court just gutted another major piece of the Voting Rights Act. In a 6-3 ruling, the Court all but ended that landmark civil rights law’s guarantee that communities of color have the right to fair congressional districts — where they can elect a candidate of their choice. In lay terms, the Court is allowing politicians to gerrymander people of color into silence.
From Bipartisan Landmark to Political Target: The Decline of the Voting Rights Act
If you’re a member of Common Cause, we don’t need to tell you how important the Voting Rights Act — and the struggle to win it — is to our nation’s history.
But in just the past two decades, this law has gone from near-unanimous bipartisan support to the number one target for politicians who don’t want to defend their policy decisions to voters — and Supreme Court justices willing to do their dirty work.
By the letter of the law, this case should have been a slam dunk for the pro-voter side. The fact that it wasn’t means the Supreme Court has abandoned their duty to enforce the Voting Rights Act — or defend basic civil rights — as part of their job.

What Landmark Rulings Could Be Next? Obergefell, Miranda, and Brown v. Board
And we can only imagine what comes next. Obergefell v. Hodges. Miranda v. Arizona. Even Brown v. Board of Education. The landmark rulings that gave us marriage equality, Miranda rights, and desegregated schools could all be on the chopping block.
Yesterday's ruling should be a wake-up call that we can’t take a free and fair 2026 election for granted. It’s something we’re going to have to fight like hell to guarantee.
Today’s ruling will embolden our opponents — those who prefer dictatorship to democracy.
