Idris Elba LOOKS EFFORTLESSLY FAB For MAXIM’s September 2015 Cover
“Luther” star Idris Elba is serving some grown man sexiness for MAXIM magazine’s September 2015 issue. And to say it’s groundbreaking would be an understatement.
Shot by photographer Robbie Fimmano, the 42-year-old Britsh actor cleaned up quite nicely as he posed it up in an array of tailored suits that fit like a glove. For the cover story, the actor/DJ/race car driver (who recently broke the UK land speed record in a Bentley) chopped it up with the mag about auto racing, sex, music and more. He also addresses those rumors (again) that were circulating saying he would be cast as the first black 007 agent James Bond.
The official cover story has yet to be released, but we’re sure this drool-worthy editorial will hold you over once the issue hits newsstands August 5th:
So what's next for the grown and sexy Idris? The Hollywood break dancing hunk is set to star as a villain in the Star Trak reboot, Star Trek Beyond. He’s also gearing up for his role as the frightening Commandant of an African child army in the Netflix original film Beast of No Nation.
YIKES LENNY! He shows you his JUNK!
Lenny Kravtiz's leather pants split wide open as he crouched rather energetically at the start of his performance in Sweden on Monday night, And the rocker seemed completely unfazed.
The 51-year-old music icon was entertaining the heaving crowds at Gröna Lund in Stockholm as part of his current Strut World Tour.
Fully exposing himself while crouching with his legs open, the going-commando star initially seemed unaware that he was on full show to the audience, unprotected from the sanctity of a pair of boxer shorts.
It soon became clear to the Fly Away hitmaker that something had gone awry in his nether-region, though, as he quickly left the stage for a few minutes.

The guitar-wielding musician then returned after having had a change of clothing, sporting a brand new and un-ripped pair of leather bottoms so he could continue the rest of his show fully covered.
According to Swedish website The Local, a producer for the show had taken to the stage to alert the screaming audience that there had been some issues on the stage.
Speaking to local paper Expressen, an member of the audience explained what had happened.
'The producer stepped up and said that they had 'some problems on stage'. A bit later Kravitz came out wearing other trousers. He said 'sorry, I ripped my trousers',' the fan said.
Ever the consummate performer, though, Lenny carried on with his gig, performing his greatest hits as he continued his globe-trotting tour, in line with his latest album, Strut.
The handsome bearded star kept it simple for his on-stage look, pairing those tricky leather pants with a classic black t-shirt, a statement necklace and a denim jacket.
And, as ever, the cooler-than-cucumber star rocked a pair of black shades for the entirety of his set.
After the gig, which was clearly otherwise successful, Lenny thanked his Swedish fans for their support on his Twitter page.
He wrote to his 4.91m followers: 'Thank you Stockholm! #StrutTour.' Which I will be seeing this tour stop in Philly the end of the month!
#TEAMEMPIRE Is This The Real Cookie Lyon? Meet The Woman Suing ‘Empire’
#TEAMEMPIRE and Cookie Lyon fans Meet Sophia Eggleston.
This is the Detroit woman who claims she is the real-life Cookie Lyon. Sophia is now suing Empire co-creators Lee Daniels, Danny Strong and FOX for $300 million. She’s accusing them of ripping of her life to create Taraji P. Henson’s character.
According to Page Six, Eggleston, who used to be a “drug kingpin”, says there are many similarities between she and Cookie.
The suit alleges specific similarities to Eggleston’s life: “Cookie was a drug kingpin that went to jail. So did plaintiff Eggleston. Cookie is released from jail confinement and immediately places a hit on a certain individual. Plaintiff . . . actually was jailed for doing the actual hit on a man.”
In addition to her shady past, Sophia also says she enjoys rocking mink coats like Cookie and even has a gay family member, just like Lady Lyon’s son, Jamal.
After Eggleston did her bid in the pin, she wrote a book about her life called “The Hidden Hand”. Sophia claims she traveled to LA in 2011 to meet with screenwriter Rita Miller and gave Miller a copy of her book. Page Six reports that, “her copyright suit, filed in US District Court in Michigan, says she got a call from Miller several months later saying she was going to pitch her story to Daniels.”
Well, fast-forward to 2015 when Empire premiered and Eggleston got no credit. Call us crazy, but if she really did get her book to Mr. Daniels she could have a case on her hands.

Is Beyonce Working On New Music Video?
Beyonce stans rejoice! According a United Kingdom shoe designer, King Bey is working on a new music video. Perhaps speaking out of turn, Chris Shellis, owner of House of Borgezie, revealed that Bey recently purchased a pair of $217,000 for an upcoming visual project.
“I’ve been told the stilettos are for her next video which should be out in the autumn,” he explained in an interview with the BirminghamMail. The House of Borgezie Princess Constellation stilettos are covered in 1,290 precious stones, which definitely helps justify the hefty price tag.
“If you want someone to model your creations, you can’t get any better than Beyonce,” Chris continued.
And FYI, if you’re planning on picking up a pair, you should know that they come with a lifetime guarantee. Looks like stunting continues well into your eighties.
And now 50 Cent And Ja Rule Chime in on the Drake Vs Meek Mill BEEF!
Right when you thought the Drake, Meek Mill rap feud had subsided, it sparked up again on Monday night during Drake’s performance at OVO Fest.
Just several days after Meek Mill released his lackluster Drake diss track “Wanna Know”, Drizzy came back even harder during his annual event in Toronto.
Prior to the main event, the Canadian rapper was spotted sporting a free Meek Mill t-shirt. The shirt btw, was the same shirt Drake wore when Meek was locked up last year.
And to add insult to injury, Drake not only had thousands of fans rooting him on, but he had Kanye West and the king of Meek’s hometown, Philly native, Will Smith rocking out with him.
Following the show, Meek posted a photo of himself with the popular teeth whitening kit, Affordable Look Plus.
And the beef between the two rappers doesn’t just have fans anticipating the next move, but celebrities are also enjoying the entertainment.
Well this is what 50 Cent and Ja Rule had to say after Monday night’s round.
JA RULE TWEETED THIS
Well 50 said this

Rihanna Flashes Flesh For Barbados’ Kadooment Day Parade

Nick Gordon goes to the Beach to remember Bobbi Kristina!
One person was noticeably absent from Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral service, her boyfriend, Nick Gordon.
The famous daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston was laid to rest by her family and close friends. While Nick, who had been reportedly dating Bobbi Kristina for more than two years, was not present, he paid his final respects honoring the 22-year-old woman at the beach.
Michele Gordon –Nick’s mother — tells People,
Nick went to the beach with me on Friday during the services. He said the beach was always their favorite place to go, so he decided that he would honor her at a place that they both loved.
I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. I’m begging you both to please put your differences aside and allow me this chance….Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there.
It comes as no surprise that Nick was not allowed to attend Bobbi Kristina’s homegoing service. Last month, it was reported that a $10 million lawsuit had been filed by her conservators, accusing him of physical abuse and stealing money.
Joe Jackson Out of the Hospital After Stroke
*Joe Jackson has been discharged from the Brazilian hospital where he was treated after he had a stroke in late July while visiting Brazil.
The Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo said Tuesday that the Jackson family patriarch, 87, was discharged Monday. The hospital gave no further details.

Jackson was in Brazil to celebrate his 87th birthday. He was diagnosed with a stroke associated with cardiac arrhythmia and hospitalized on July 26
Secret Service Expert ‘Outs’ Hillary Clinton’s Marriage as ‘Fake’
*If the first thought that comes to mind after reading the headline is “Say it ain’t so!” you are probably not alone. Yet according to a Secret Service expert, Hillary Clinton’s 40-year marriage to former President Bill Clinton is nothing more than a business arrangement. He claims Bill and Hillary Clinton are faking their relationship and keeping it up for the sake of her presidential campaign.
Author and investigative journalist Robert Kessler has written 20 books about the Secret Service, the FBI and the CIA. He claims to have behind-the-scenes knowledge about government agencies, including the Secret Service, who have called Hillary Clinton’s marriage fake and strictly a “business relationship.”
“Agents say that it’s a business relationship. It’s not a marriage at all. It’s a total fake, like everything else about Hillary. It’s just a big show and a scam,” he explained, according to the Daily Mail.
He also claims that the 2016 U.S. presidential candidate believes average citizens are beneath her.
“Hillary Clinton pretends to be this champion of the little people — she’s gonna help the middle class, she’s compassionate,” Kessler argues. “But the reality behind the scenes is she treats her agents and others less powerful than she is with contempt.”
Kessler, a regular contributor to The Washington Post, is no stranger to exposing secrets about politicians and government agencies. In 2012, he exposed the Secret Service, saying they hired prostitutes while in Columbia. And in his latest book released early this year, he writes that Bill Clinton has a blonde mistress who goes by the code name “Energizer.”
