#FASHIONFAB: Lupita Nyong’o Wore Armani Privé To ‘The Odyssey’ Paris Photocall
Lupita Nyong’o is delivering at every stop on this press tour, and that was once again the case as she arrived at the Trocadéro for The Odyssey Paris photocall this evening alongside Charlize Theron and Zendaya.
Speaking of her co-star, Lupita could easily have followed Zendaya’s lead and stepped out in a Chanel Fall 2026 Haute Couture look fresh from the runway after attending Matthieu Blazy’s show earlier in the day. But if you’ve seen that collection, it probably won’t come as a surprise that she looked elsewhere.
Instead, she wore a custom Armani Privé gown that immediately stole the spotlight. The rich burgundy hue alone was enough to make an impact, while the intricate crystal embellishment, inspired by Look 37 from the Spring 2025 collection, shimmered across the sculpted silhouette. This was classic Lupita: elegant, refined and completely captivating.
She completed the look with a matching Armani Privé clutch, Hearts On Fire’s Barre Multi Row Drop earrings, Vela rings and metallic Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

#MusicNews: Singer Lauren Bennett’s Father Shares New Details After Her Death
Lauren Bennett's father has shared heartbreaking new details following her death. Richard Bennett spoke publicly about the G.R.L. singer's final months, stating that his daughter experienced a severe reaction to prescribed medication before she died at the age of 36.
The father of the G.R.L. singer slams health professionals for failing to appropriately treat his daughter during her final months
Lauren Bennett's father, Richard Bennett, addressed his daughter's death in an emotional Instagram statement. The singer, best known for her work with G.R.L. and her vocals on LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," died on May 29 in England.
Richard shared that Lauren had experienced "a severe reaction to a prescribed medication" months before her death. He said the family rallied around her and did everything they could to support her during that difficult period.
He also criticized medical professionals and NHS services, saying the family felt "deep disappointment" over how Lauren was treated during what he described as her "time of greatest need." However, he also emphasized that the family has "no suspicions regarding the circumstances of her death."
That distinction is significant. Lauren's official cause of death has not yet been confirmed. According to Entertainment Weekly, the Kent and Medway Coroner Service is investigating her death, and the inquiry is expected to continue until October 30.
Richard's statement also paid tribute to who Lauren was beyond her music career. He remembered his daughter as creative, funny, humble, and deeply loved by those who knew her. He also requested privacy as the family continues to grieve.
Lauren first gained international recognition through "Party Rock Anthem," LMFAO's hit single that became a global phenomenon in 2011. She later joined G.R.L., which found success with songs including "Ugly Heart" and "Wild Wild Love."
Her former G.R.L. bandmates also shared a tribute following her death, remembering her love, laughter, and beautiful spirit. The loss marks another difficult chapter for the group, which also mourned the death of Simone Battle in 2014.
For now, Lauren's family has asked fans to remember her through her music, her kindness, and the legacy she leaves behind.

#HipHopNews: JAŸ-Z Adds London Stadium Show To 30-Year Celebration Run
JAŸ-Z is taking his 30-year celebration overseas. He will be extending his concert run with a new show date in London.
Ahead of his upcoming sold-out Yankee Stadium run, JAŸ-Z and Roc Nation have announced a newly added London show set for Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The date will serve as his only UK stop of the year and joins previously announced shows in Paris and Los Angeles.
The London performance adds another chapter to Hov’s long history with the UK. One of his most memorable moments came at Glastonbury in 2008, when he famously responded to criticism from Oasis’ Noel Gallagher by walking out with a guitar and opening his headline set with “Wonderwall” before reminding the crowd that Hip-Hop belonged on that stage too. The moment has since become one of the most talked-about festival sets of his career.
London has also lived in JAŸ-Z’s bars. On “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” he rapped, “Google me baby, you crazy / ’89 in London pull the Benz up / Type it in, Google’s your friend bruh,” nodding to his own history across the pond long before he became one of music’s most decorated moguls.
The London date is part of a select run celebrating three decades of music, culture, and legacy from across JAŸ-Z’s iconic catalog. The newly announced show takes place Sept. 4 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, followed by Paris on Sept. 10 at Stade de France and Los Angeles on Oct. 23 at SoFi Stadium.
Presales for the London date begin Thursday, July 9 at 10 a.m. local time, including early access for O2 and Virgin Media customers via Priority. General on-sale begins Friday, July 10 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.co.uk. Preferred Tickets for Mastercard cardholders in the UK will also be available Friday, July 10 at 10 a.m.

No Evidence Of Crime Found In Nolan Wells’ Death So Far, Sheriff Says
Jackson County, Mississippi Sheriff John Ledbetter tells TMZ that investigators have not yet uncovered evidence that a crime occurred in connection with 18-year-old #NolanWells’ death. According to the outlet, detectives have interviewed several friends and other witnesses to piece together his final hours. While everything gathered so far reportedly points away from a crime, Ledbetter stressed the case remains open and could shift if new evidence surfaces. His team is also sorting through a wave of emails, texts, and social media tips, most of which remain unverified.
A key focus is a video circulating online that reportedly shows people arguing on Horn Island — where Wells’ body was found — before the footage cuts away. Investigators are reportedly trying to determine what the clip shows and whether it relates to his death, though Ledbetter noted there are no surveillance cameras on the island, making outside footage or photos especially important; authorities are asking anyone with material from the island to come forward. As reported, Wells vanished during a Fourth of July trip to #HornIsland, and his body was discovered days later. His family has since hired attorney Ben Crump to press for a thorough investigation, and an official GoFundMe has been set up to support them.

Big Tigger’s Estranged Wife Alicia Brown Arrested On K!dnapping Warrants In Georgia
The ongoing legal drama surrounding Big Tigger and his estranged wife, Alicia Brown, has taken another unexpected turn.
According to TMZ, Brown was arrested Monday night in Georgia after authorities located her SUV during a felony traffic stop on Interstate 85. Officials say deputies were searching for the vehicle in connection with outstanding kidnapping-related warrants issued out of Maryland.
Law enforcement officials told the outlet that Brown was taken into custody without incident and that two children who were inside the vehicle were safely recovered. TMZ reports that one of the children was the son Brown shares with Big Tigger, whose legal name is Darian Morgan. Authorities say Brown is facing a felony interference with child custody charge in Georgia and is expected to be extradited to Maryland.
Investigators reportedly allege the Maryland warrants stem from the 2019 disappearance of a 10-year-old child. Additional details surrounding the allegations have not yet been released publicly.
The arrest comes amid an already highly publicized and contentious split between Brown and the former BET Rap City host. In recent weeks, Morgan was arrested on aggravated battery and cruelty to children charges stemming from an alleged domestic incident involving Brown. He has denied the allegations against him.
Brown was later granted a temporary protective order and temporary custody of the couple’s minor children as the legal proceedings continue.

Whoopi Goldberg trapped in Italy amid volcano eruption: ‘Spent most of the day trying to get back’
Oscar-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg was trapped in Italy amid an active volcano eruption.
Goldberg missed The View after all airports were closed in Sicily, where she vacationed during the show’s holiday hiatus.
The 70-year-old provided The View with a video dispatch on the scene.
Whoopi Goldberg experienced a Hot Topic of another kind when she missed The View‘s first new episode since its Fourth of July holiday hiatus due to — yes, really — an active volcano.
The 70-year-old Oscar-winning actress was trapped in Italy over the weekend amid the eruption of Mount Etna in the European region, which forced the closure of major travel routes in the area.
Amid Goldberg’s absence from the talk show, Joy Behar, who typically has Mondays off, filled in for her colleague, and teed up a video dispatch from the scene, which Goldberg sent in for the show to play on the air.
‘The View’ cohosts Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg.
“I am in Sicily right now, and Mount Etna, who is one of our active volcanoes here in Italy, decided to go off today,” Goldberg said in the clip, which showed her standing on the balcony of a hotel overlooking the ocean.
Goldberg said she “spent most of the day trying to get back to the United States” to make it back for the live show, but “all of the airports are closed here,” so she was effectively grounded for the time being.
“So, I will be back as soon as I can,” Goldberg promised, before joking, “I know that we got all kinds of stories about our different vacations. I think my story just takes the cake! A volcano ate my homework!”
Ana Navarro won't be on first episode of 'The View' after holiday hiatus
'View' cohost Sara Haines quickly humbled by reality TV star's reply to her long DM
The show’s audience laughed at the joke back in the studio, where Behar filled in for Goldberg alongside Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and actress Michelle Buteau, who saw her role as a scheduled interview guest expand across the entire episode as she sat in as a temporary cohost.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for The View and Goldberg for an update on her escape from Italy.
Other cohosts were also absent from Monday’s telecast, including Sara Haines, who had to miss the program due to storm damage in her home, and Ana Navarro, who updated her social media followers Monday morning about being stranded in Miami over inclement weather.
“I’m sorry I won’t be there tomorrow. I’m sure the other ladies will have great, insightful things to say,” Navarro said in a social media video that confirmed she would spend an extra night in her Miami home after “bad weather” forced a ground stoppage at the airport.

WNBA to host All-Star events at newly opened Obama Presidential Center
The WNBA will stage several official All-Star Weekend 2026 activities at Chicago’s newly opened Obama Presidential Center.
Media Day, team practice, Changemaker Day, and Jr. WNBA Day are scheduled for July 24 at the South Side campus.
The All-Star Game and related competitions will still take place at United Center and Wintrust Arena as part of the broader Chicago weekend.
The WNBA is bringing part of its 2026 All-Star celebration to one of Chicago’s most meaningful new landmarks.
On Wednesday (July 8), the league announced that several marquee events tied to the AT&T-sponsored weekend will take place at the newly opened Obama Presidential Center on the city’s South Side. As explained on the WNBA's official website, this will be the first professional sports organization to host events at the historic venue.
“Hosting AT&T WNBA All-Star events at the Obama Presidential Center is a true honor and reflects our commitment to creating connection through basketball and engaging communities in meaningful ways,” expressed WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert in a statement. “We’re excited to bring together the WNBA family and the greater Chicago community to create memorable experiences at this historic new venue.”
Valerie Jarrett, CEO of The Obama Foundation, also celebrated the milestone. “We are thrilled to welcome the WNBA as our first professional sports league hosted at the Obama Presidential Center,” she said, adding that sports can help “create meaningful opportunities to build the next generation of leaders.”
The Friday, July 24 schedule at the Obama Presidential Center will include All-Star Media Day and a practice run, which the league said marks the first time an All-Star practice will be held at a venue of its kind. The campus will also host the third annual WNBA Changemaker Day with additional support from Ally, CarMax, Deloitte, Google, Nike, and others, in collaboration with the Chicago Sky, Chicago Public Schools, and Girls Opportunity Alliance, an initiative of The Obama Foundation.
A major early moment for the Obama Presidential Center
The WNBA announcement comes just weeks after the Obama Presidential Center officially opened in Chicago. As REVOLT previously reported, the nearly 20-acre Jackson Park campus was celebrated during a June dedication ceremony that brought together the Obama family, former presidents, political leaders, music legends, entertainers, and athletes. The Center opened to the public on Juneteenth with a weekend of community events.
Most of the WNBA activations will take place inside Home Court, the Center’s 60,000-square-foot athletic building. The space features a WNBA-regulation basketball court and multi-purpose areas designed for sports, wellness, youth engagement, leadership programming, and community connection. Jr. WNBA Day will also be part of the schedule, with AT&T and the league hosting activities for girls centered on basketball, leadership, and learning. Planned events include a fundamentals clinic, panel discussions, a vision-board workshop, and STEM activities.
The 2026 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will take place Saturday, July 25 at United Center, while the State Farm WNBA 3-Point Contest and Kia WNBA Shooting Stars are scheduled for Friday, July 24 at Wintrust Arena, home of the Chicago Sky.

Madonna’s ‘Confessions II’ Projected to Debut at No. 1
Madonna is having a massive moment with her new album, Confessions II.
The “I Feel So Free” Queen of Pop’s 15th studio album arrived on July 3, and it’s currently projected to take the top spot on the Billboard 200 next week.
Hits Daily Double is reporting that Madonna‘s album “has the edge” currently, and is projected to move 101,000 units in its first week, beating out Olivia Rodrigo and Ella Langley for the top spot.
In addition, Billboard speculates that the record could win her a Best Dance/Electronic Album win at next year’s ceremony, which would be a full-circle moment, as the album’s predecessor Confessions on a Dance Floor claimed the same victory in 2006.

Madonna is having a massive moment with her new album, Confessions II.
The “I Feel So Free” Queen of Pop’s 15th studio album arrived on July 3, and it’s currently projected to take the top spot on the Billboard 200 next week.
Hits Daily Double is reporting that Madonna‘s album “has the edge” currently, and is projected to move 101,000 units in its first week, beating out Olivia Rodrigo and Ella Langley for the top spot.
In addition, Billboard speculates that the record could win her a Best Dance/Electronic Album win at next year’s ceremony, which would be a full-circle moment, as the album’s predecessor Confessions on a Dance Floor claimed the same victory in 2006.

Terrence Howard Claims His Former Agents Ruined His Chance to Be HSN Star
Terrence Howard is ratcheting up his legal war with his former talent agents ... claiming they failed to let him know about a chance at getting his own signature fragrance and potentially becoming a Home Shopping Network star.
The actor makes the new claim in a declaration he filed as part of his legal battle with his former talent agency, CAA. Terrence previously sued CAA, claiming they messed up his salary negotiations for "Empire."
Terrence, who played Lucious Lyon on "Empire" for six seasons, claimed the agency did not adequately represent his best interests when negotiating his deal with FOX.
In his declaration, Terrence said his agents asked FOX for an increase in salary ... asking for $750K per episode. He claimed FOX declined the request and said they could not go above $325K per episode.
However, Terrence claims his agents never told him "Empire" fragrance representatives had mentioned a potential Terrence-branded "Empire" fragrance deal ... which he says included a $20K payday for a launch event, potential future paid appearances, an HSN appearance, and a possible men's signature-fragrance venture.
Terrence said he was forced to make a decision on his contract without having all the relevant information ... and he blames CAA.
For their part, CAA has denied they're responsible and they're trying to get the case thrown out, arguing, in part, that Howard's claims were brought past the statute of limitations.
