The Daily Buzz For April 19



Drake, Ryan Reynolds And Harry Styles: GQ’s Most Stylish Men In The World!
With so many handsome hunks from which to choose, GQ has made the almost-impossible selection of the 2016 best-dressed dudes.

In the May 2016 Most Stylish Men in the World issue, the men’s publication singles out Drake, Tom Hardy, Ryan Reynolds and Harry Styles as the gents with the hottest threads.
GQ writes, “No disrespect to the Hall of Famers — from Kanye to Clooney, Gosling to Pharrell — but this year we’re feeling a different, right-this-second strain of pro-level style. We speak of men who look just as sharp on the street as they do on the red carpet. Who realize that, in the camera-phone age, every little walk to the corner can turn into a photo op. And who rarely bother with suits — but when they do, they really make it count.”


SADNESS: 'Everybody Loves Raymond' star Doris Roberts dies at 90

Doris Roberts, who played the tart-tongued, endlessly meddling Marie Barone on "Everybody Loves Raymond," has died, a family spokeswoman said. She was 90.
Roberts died overnight in her sleep, spokeswoman Janet Daily said Monday. Daily was told of the death by Roberts' son, Michael Cannata.

The cause of death was not immediately known. Roberts had been healthy and active, Daily said.
Last month, Roberts appeared at an actors' union event that focused on the scarcity of female directors in entertainment. She asked the panel why there were so few roles for elder actors.
Roberts won four Emmy Awards for her work on "Raymond," receiving a total of seven nominations as best supporting actress for the sitcom.
Actor Ray Romano, who co-starred with Roberts on the CBS show, said in a statement Monday that she "had an energy and a spirit that amazed me. She never stopped.

"Whether working professionally or with her many charities, or just nurturing and mentoring a young, green comic trying to make it as an actor, she did it all with such a grand love for life and people and I will miss her dearly."
Actress Patricia Heaton, who portrayed Roberts' daughter-in-law, posted her remembrances on Twitter.

"We loved our mom, the great #DorisRoberts. A wonderful, funny, indelible actress and friend," Phil Rosenthal, the show's producer, posted on his Twitter account.
The sitcom, which aired from 1996 to 2005, also starred Brad Garrett and Peter Boyle, who played Roberts' husband Frank Barone. Boyle died in 2006.
Comedian Denis Leary tweeted that Roberts "made me laugh so hard so many times. (hash)everybodylovesmarie."

Roberts also was known for her role in the 1980s TV detective series "Remington Steele." She appeared on stage and in a variety of movies, including "The Rose," "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three" and "Madea's Witness Protection."
But it was the hugely successful "Everybody Loves Raymond" that "put my career over the top," Roberts told The Associated Press as the show wrapped its run.
Roberts, then 79, fretted openly about what she would do next. "Who knows after this? Nobody writes for older people," she said.
Yet her list of TV and movie credits continued to grow, with projects from 2015, including the TV movie "Merry Kissmas," and others slated to be released this year.

Roberts was born Nov. 4, 1925, in St. Louis and grew up in New York, Daily said.
The actress began her stage career on Broadway in the 1950s, amassing credits that eventually included Neil Simon's "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" and Terrence McNally's "Bad Habits."

In early TV appearances, she was seen in episodes of "Studio One," "The Naked City" and "The Defenders."
Roberts received her first Emmy Award in 1983, for her supporting role on the series "St. Elsewhere." She received a total of 11 nominations for her TV work overall, including her bids for "Raymond."
An enthusiastic cook, Roberts co-wrote "Are You Hungry, Dear? Life, Laughs, and Lasagna," a memoir with recipes, in 2005.
Besides her son, she is survived by her daughter-in-law, Jane, and three grandchildren, Kelsey, Andrew, and Devon Cannata.



#RHOA: The Beyhive Drags Kenya Moore After She 'Shades' Singer With 'Distasteful' Post With The Rapper!
Beyonce might have shouted out Kenya Moore and her Bravo The Real Housewives of Atlanta taglines a couple of times, but that didn’t seem to matter to fans who came for the reality star.
It’s all because she shared a throwback photo of her and Beyonce’s husband, Jay Z, amid speculation that Beyonce and the rapper are splitting up. In the snapshot, Moore was sitting in a car with Jay Z on the set of the Money Ain’t A Thang video.
She wrote, “#TBT On set of #moneyaintathang with Jay-Z circa 1998 #happytoworkwithhim such a gentleman and talented rapper turned mogul #booked #ineedanewbentley #funtimes #setlife. Wish@beyonce was there #KenyaMoore #RHOA”
While Moore probably didn’t mean any harm, some of Beyonce fans couldn’t’ help but call her out for snuggling up to Jay Z, even if it was in a vintage photo.
“She was soooo messy for this…”
Some even accused Moore of throwing “shade” at Beyonce.

“Did she try to go after the queen??”
Another made it clear, “Bey couldn’t make it because she was too busy becoming Beyonce making millions at the tender age of 17 she wasn’t checking for Jay yet but that shade was so cute”
One fan pointed out that Jay Z “looks like [Moore] was getting on his nerves!!!”
One kept it simple with, “How dare she tag Bey!!!”

“Your new name is messy boots. Very distasteful,” one fan added.\
Another fan revealed that Moore actually changed her caption that originally read, “Keyonce & Jay-z”… they added, “As if she was insinuating something…”



#TEAMEMPIRE: Fox’s Midseason Return of ‘Empire’ Tops Broadcast Week in Demo: L+7 Ratings
Spring cap sap the ratings strength of just about any show, but Fox’s “Empire” looked very strong as it resumed its second season three weeks ago.

According to “live plus-7” estimates for the week of March 26-April 3, released Monday by Nielsen, “Empire” averaged a 6.5 rating in adults 18-49 — rising 35% from its same-day average (4.8) to finish 1 full point ahead of broadcast runner-up “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS (5.5) and nearly 3 points ahead of the next closest broadcast drama, ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (3.7). AMC’s “The Walking Dead” ruled the week overall with a 9.6 in the demo.

The 6.5 rating was about on par with “Empire’s” fall finale on Dec. 2 (6.6). And in 7-day multi-platform overall audience, the midseason return (18.5 million) slightly outdrew its 2015 closer (18.4 million); this figure includes 16.7 million linear viewers and about 1.8 million via 7-day streaming on Hulu and Fox Now.

For the season, “Empire” leads all broadcast entertainment series in L+7 adults 18-49 rating (7.2). Its multi-platform average audience is 22.7 million, or 80% more than its same-day total (12.6 million).

In other L+7 highlights for the week of March 26-April 3, the season finale of “The Walking Dead” (9.6) was 14% lower than its year-ago closer (11.1); CBS’ “Supergirl” (2.5) shot up 25% week to week with its “The Flash”-crossover storyline; ABC’s “The Catch” (1.8) retained 90% of its previous week’s premiere rating (2.0); and NBC’s “Shades of Blue” (2.0) ended its run in line with its most recent performances, finishing with an average 64% higher than “The Player” in the same timeslot (2.3 vs. 1.4).

FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” saw the biggest percentage spike of the week in L+7, rising 164% from its same-day average (2.9 vs. 1.1). Jumping nearly as much was AMC’s “Better Call Saul” (up 150%, 0.8 to 2.0).

Chris Brown Shares ‘Welcome To My Life’ Documentary Trailer
Chris Brown hasn’t been in many people’s good graces lately due to his questionable social media activity, but the R&B superstar plans to get candid with his loyal fans and followers through the release of his official documentary “Welcome To My Life.”

Giving us an early glimpse at the film, with a nearly three-minute trailer, Breezy reflects on his quick rise to stardom and the fallout he faced after his assault on Rihanna.

The doc, directed by Andrew Sandler and produced by Riveting Entertainment, is comprised of old and new interviews and commentary from Brown’s friends and family including his mother Joyce Hawkins, Jamie Foxx, Usher, DJ Khaled, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora, and Mary J. Blige.
In addition to highlighting his success, it delves into darker times in his life, including his tumultuous relationship with Rihanna (“It was like a fairytale”), which led to drug use and even suicidal thoughts (“I was thinking about suicide and everything else”).
“I went from being on top of the world, No. 1 songs, being kinda like America’s sweetheart to being public enemy No. 1,” says Brown.

Watch the trailer HERE
Welcome to My Life does not yet have a release date. In the meantime, you can catch Breezy on his “One Hell of a Nite” tour through Europe, beginning May 22 in Frankfurt, Germany.



HIPHOPNEWS: Trick Daddy Joins "Love & Hip Hop: Miami" Cast
Trick Daddy to star in the latest addition to the Love & Hip Hop franchise.
According to Miami rapper Trick Daddy, he plans on adding a nice dose of realness to reality TV, as one of the stars of Love & Hip Hop: Miami. The musician shared the news with Bossip over the weekend.
With reality television notoriously known to showcase some of its stars in an unfavorable light, Trick revealed that he won't be made a fool of on the show.

“I just met with Mona last week and we’re trying to do this thing right,” Trick Daddy said while speaking with Bossip. “Put some real Miami bitches and real Miami niggas on the show...One thing I won’t do is make a fool of myself. If we gone make a fool of somebody it won’t be me, so it’ll be interesting.”
Trick Daddy, who recently filed for bankruptcy, says a portion of his storyline for Love & Hip Hop: Miami will focus on him managing two of his artists, Premadonna and Mike Smith.
“It’s all gonna come out on the show. We’re just trying to do what we do, do what I do,” the rapper said.

Trick Daddy will reportedly start filming for the show in May. There is no word yet on when Love & Hip Hop: Miami will air.

UGH! Father Charged In Fatal Shooting Of 4-Year-Old Girl
PHILADELPHIA (AP)  The Latest on the fatal shooting of a 4-year-old Philadelphia girl (all times local):
8:50 p.m.
Philadelphia police have charged a man in the fatal shooting of a 4-year-old girl.
Investigators say Maurice Phillips turned himself in Saturday night, and admitted he was responsible for the young girl’s death.
Phillips, who is either the girl’s father or stepfather, is charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police say the girl was shot in the face Saturday afternoon at a home in the city’s Kensington neighborhood. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators initially said the girl was shot by her 5-year-old sibling and they were searching for the child’s father or stepfather, who was believed to have owned the gun.
Phillips later told police that it was an accident, and the 5-year-old sibling had nothing to do with it.

Police say the parent of a 4-year-old girl killed in Philadelphia has confessed to accidentally shooting her.
Authorities originally believed the child was shot by her young brother.
Investigators said the girl was shot in the face by her father or stepfather in a home in the Kensington neighborhood shortly before 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police previously said the girl was shot by her 5-year-old sibling and were searching for the child’s father or stepfather, who was believed to have owned the gun used.
But Sgt. Eric Gripp said Sunday the man turned himself in Saturday night and ultimately admitted to shooting the victim.
Gripp said the parent “stated that the sibling had nothing to do with it.” His identity has not been released.


Meet Big Tigger’s New Girl! He Has Moved On From Now Married Ex Keisha Knight Pulliam To A Certain Rapper’s Ex!
For “RHOA” star Peter Thomas’ new nightclub opening of Club One in Charlotte, a few of his Atlanta friends flew into North Carolina to support. One of those friends was V103 host Big Tigger. And look who he brought as his date:
Nope, not Todd Tucker. He had Jamaican beauty queen Rebecca Silvera on his arm. You may recognize her from VH1’s “You Got Game” as the one who won rapper The Game’s heart. At least she did on the show. They seemingly got it in at a hotel one night on the show, a few episodes later he chose her as the winner, and they were “broken up” pretty much before the show even aired.
But it looks like Rebecca has rebounded, and so has Tigger after his break up with his now married ex Keshia (Knight Pulliam) Hartwell.

We’re told they arrived together, left together and are definitely a couple….LOL!



Broadway’s Hamilton Wins 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
*“Hamilton,” Broadway’s sold-out hip-hop history lesson on Alexander Hamilton, has just nabbed the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Per Variety:
The Pulitzer win could be the first of many victories for “Hamilton.” Much of the theater industry considers the show’s sweep of the Tony Awards as a foregone conclusion.
“The Humans,” Stephen Karam’s subtly drawn portrait of one American family’s anxieties, was one of the few obvious titles that seemed likely to give “Hamilton” a little competition; that play was named a 2016 finalist, as was Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ “Gloria.”
“Hamilton’s” victory came during the centennial year for the Pulitzers, which recognize excellence in the arts and in journalism.

Congrats to them!



JACKSON BABY WATCH: Jackson Family Insider Reveals Janet And Wissam Al-Mana Are Planning First Baby Via Surrogate Or Adoption?
Ever since Janet Jackson announced she was postponing her tour to plan a family fans have been wondering how she would be able to have a baby, considering she’s 49 already. Now a source close to her claims she won’t actually be carrying the child.

According to RadarOnline reports:
A source close to the Jackson family told RadarOnline.com exclusively that fans have nothing to fear. In fact, they have something to celebrate! According to a source, Jackson, 49, is getting ready to become a mom.
“Janet has put her fans first her whole life. They are her world and, of course, she is devastated that she had to postpone the tour for another year,” the insider said.

“But Janet’s health crisis this year really made her much more aware of her age,” the source told Radar. “She is approaching 50 and at this stage of her life all that she wants is to become a mother.”
According to the Jackson family insider, “Janet postponed her tour because she is going to be adopting a child or using a surrogate to have a baby in the next couple of months,” with billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana.

“She is devoted to her husband and has decided to put his needs before her own needs right now,” the source added. “He really wants to start a family with her.”

We’re glad to hear that Janet and Wissam may at least attempt to have a biological child, but we welcome a new addition to the family how ever they’re able to make it happen. This is a great time in Ms. Jackson’s life and we are soon happy for her!
