The Daily Buzz For April 25



Charlize Theron Takes Over V Magazine’s #101 Cover
Her new movie “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” is in theaters now so it’s no wonder Charlize Theron is featured on the front page of the new issue of V magazine.

The “Italian Job” dame worked with photographer Collier Schorr for her photo shoot, sporting tousled hair and hoop earrings in the cover shot.
Charlize commented on the plight of women in Tinseltown- “It’s brutal when you think of the truth of what we face in society, what it means for a woman versus what it means for a man. What we, especially women, consider to be our strengths and to be our weaknesses. That aging is a weakness that we think of it that way. Yet, it’s when we’re at our wisest. We’ve experienced everything and we should be considering ourselves the richest. We live in a society where women are treated like wilted flowers. They used to be pretty, but now they’re just kind of wilting.”



#RHOA: Kenya Moore Talks Bullying, IVF, And Pageants Vs. Real Housewives Of Atlanta!
Friday Kenya Moore appeared on The Dr. Oz Show to discuss beauty secrets, reconciling with her broken childhood, bullying, and baby plans! 
Dr. Oz asks Kenya about the differences between being Miss USA and her present identity as Krayonce, chief sh*t-stirrer on Real Housewives Of Atlanta. According to Kenya she’s a “three-dimensional person,” which must be a fancy way of saying ‘has multiple personalities’.

In pageants “you’re… a Barbie Doll, and you’re presenting your best self to the world,” Kenya explains. “You’re not really put in controversial situations, but on reality TV – that’s all you’re put in!” 

“It’s sort of, oxymoronic, to what I’m doing now,” Kenya explains, of beauty pageants vs. Bravo. “So you get to see me being multi-faceted.” Dr. Oz wonders about the way Kenya reacts to the controversial situations on Real Housewives Of Atlanta, and cites her interactions with Kim Fields. Dr. Oz wonders if Kenya’s behavior is considered bullying, as Kim previously suggested. 

Kenya is adamant she only “reacts” to the other women targeting her. “I can stand up for myself and I don’t need to hurt anyone else.” 
A large portion of Kenya’s interview was to delve into her painful childhood and her mother’s abandonment, which was also a major portion of Kenya’s story on Real Housewives Of Atlanta. The story featured when she wasn’t antagonizing other Housewives and not at all being a bully… 

Kenya goes into detail about how “shocking” and hurtful her mother was – which continued into Kenya’s adulthood. Kenya says she has now moved on and recognizes that she is not responsible for her mother’s actions. Through positive thinking she has “let go of the hold” her mother had over her emotions. “I had to start with forgiveness. I had to not only forgive my mother…. I had to forgive myself.” 
“For me to forgive her, and forgive myself, I’m releasing myself from that bondage.” 

Part of that process was Kenya deciding to stop judging her mother’s actions. “I can’t take the position of [I’m] judging her, because I don’t know her entire story.” 

Kenya believes sharing her truth (which she’s also writing about in a memoir) this season may have inspired other women confronting abandonment issues. “You have to be the positive in your life,” coaches Iyanla Kenya (Kenyanla?). “From there you can create the world you want. If you speak it into existence the laws of the universe will work for you.” 

Is Kenya starting to HEAL, or NAH?

#NEWHIPHOP: Common Combat The Flint Water Crisis In “Trouble In The Water” [VIDEO]
Common continues to use his voice as a weapon for awareness in “Trouble In The Water.”
Common‘s hometown of Chicago is almost 300 miles away from Flint, Mich., but that’s not stopping him from lending his voice to the town’s highly publicized water crisis.
In a new video for a song called “Trouble In The Water,” Common can be seen dressed in all black rapping in a warehouse, surrounded by water that is ready to be shipped to those in need. In the song.

Common delivers lyrics drawing attention to mistreatment of the environment, and even his own feeling of helplessness in the matter:
“Water dirty like the police that flood the streets”
“We think our opponent is overseas, But we messing with Mother Nature’s ovaries.”
“I know I’m supposed to help, that’s what I’m made for/I’m a made man, but I ain’t a maid though.”
Common is backed by members of the Hip Hop Caucus, a non-profit organization created by Rev.Lennox Yearwood Jr., the man who helped Diddy start the 2004 “Vote Or Die” campaign. HHC artists Kumasi, Choklate, Aaron Fresh and Laci Kay also appear on the track.

“‘Trouble in the Water’ links the global climate crisis to local environmental justice crises in poor communities and communities of color, including the ongoing water disaster in Flint, MI,” said Rev. Yearwood Jr., in a statement. “Common and the entire team who worked on ‘Trouble in the Water’ have used art to convey a message that affirms the value of life over polluters’ greed. The crisis in Flint has put politics and profit over the lives of people. Now it is time to reverse that horrific process and create a compensation fund for victims of the Flint water crisis.”
The video is also a call to action. At the end it calls on viewers to sign a petition, from their Facebook or on peoplesclimatemusic.com, urging Michigan Governor Rick Snyder to start a compensation fund for victims of the Flint water crisis.

PRINCE MEMORIALIZED & CREAMTED: Friends and Family Gather for Late Legend’s Private Service at Paisley Park
Gone but never forgotten. Prince’s closest friends and family members gathered for a private memorial service at Paisley Park on Saturday, April 23.
Several arrangements of purple flowers and catered food were delivered to the late legend’s home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, earlier in the day before relatives and pals gathered for the intimate event.
Prince, who died on Thursday, April 21, at the age of 57, was cremated shortly after his body was released to his family following an autopsy on Friday, April 22.

Prince was celebrated by a small group of his most beloved: family, friends and his musicians, in a private, beautiful ceremony to say a loving goodbye," the singer's rep told Us in a statement. "Prince’s remains have been cremated and their final storage will remain private. We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time. The cause of death remains unknown and it will be at least four weeks before we receive the results of the autopsy. An announcement will be made at a future date for a musical celebration."
The “Purple Rain” singer’s protege and ex-fiancée Sheila Escovedo, better known as Sheila E., attended the memorial service on Saturday, as did half-brother Maurice Phillips, muse Damaris Lewis and bassist Larry Graham.
Fans of the “Kiss” crooner lined the fence of his home and recording studio with hundreds of flowers, signs and purple balloons. Some fans waiting outside on Saturday were greeted by Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, who also handed out memorabilia in large round purple boxes.

Erykah Badu Covers FADER: Talks Motherhood, Politics & Social Media
Erykah Badu rocks the cover of the latest issue of FADER – the Producers Issue. FADER met with the “Phone Down” singer at her Dallas, TX home for her cover shoot, and to chat with her about motherhood/being a doula, her recent tweets on school uniform skirt lengths and more.
Read highlights from her interview, and also catch photos from her Erykah’s accompanying shoot (a few with her daughter Mars) below..
On motherhood:
I love motherhood. It’s natural for me. Being a doula, or being a mom, or even, like, making food—it’s just breathing and trusting, and allowing the creativity to flow through.

In addressing her tweets, she states:
The first thing I look at when I read an article is the angle the author takes when approaching the story. Does he or she want to lead the readers to believe one thing or another? He or she will use quotes supporting their views, so it doesn’t often give the whole story. In the [Newshub article about hemlines at a New Zealand high school], I was able to see a 360 degree point of view that wasn’t actually presented by the author, so I wanted to express my opinion. I agreed with some parts of the article, and other parts I did not agree with.
There was a student in the article—she was interviewed on video—who I sympathized with. She said she’s just coming to school to learn, not to be sexualized. And I agreed with that. I’m sure that there were more interviews and more angles but since I didn’t see them in the article, I presented them on Twitter. I then went a step further and began to explain the biology and sexual nature of human beings. I wasn’t trying to make one particular point. Like I said in my original tweets, it’s a man and a boy’s responsibility to control himself. I said it’s deviant behavior to prey on young women and children. But I also said that in nature, men are attracted to young women. As bad as it sounds and as much as people don’t want to look at it like that, it’s true. But that doesn’t mean I support the behavior of choosing to act on such impulses. People are like, “Where did you learn this?” And I’m like, “I learned it in science class, in elementary school.”
On politics:
Politics. I don’t know how much we have a say…It’s a show, it’s a game. On the smaller scale, I think that your city reps and district reps are very serious about what they’re doing, and then when they get up a little higher it becomes a show. Everybody gets kinda turned out.”

This is the craziest sh*t I’ve ever seen in my life,” she says of Trump’s success so far. “Is this real? But”—cryptically, with a shrug—“it will become a reality, if that’s what the plan is.

On her children learning different languages at school:
I just wanted to make sure that whenever I take over the country, I have a secretary of state, defense, and a peace ambassador at hand.



New Jersey woman who set her baby on fire and left her to die gets 30 years in prison 

Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier will spend the next 30 years of her life in prison for setting her newborn daughter on fire and leaving her to die in the middle of a street.
Dorvilier, of New Jersey, plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter in February. Prosecutors say the 23-year-old admitted dousing her newborn daughter with lighter fluid and using a lighter to set her on fire in January 2015.

A neighbor rescued the newborn but she died hours later at a Philadelphia hospital from third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body.
The neighbor held Dorvilier on the ground until emergency responders arrived. Someone wrapped the newborn in a towel and paper.
“I was on a downward spiral. I believe I hit my rock bottom,” Dorvilier said in open court Friday.
“I apologize first and foremost for not giving my daughter, Angelica, the life she deserved. She deserved so much better.”

Dorvilier reportedly hid her pregnancy from her mother and sister. The baby’s umbilical cord and placenta were still attached when she was found.
Dorvilier’s sister, Dejennie, pleaded with the judge for leniency and mental help for her sister.
But the judge said 30 years was “the sentence that justice requires.”
“The crime in this case was committed against the weakest of the weak, a helpless newborn,” said Judge Terrence Cook, without taking Dorvilier’s mental status into account.
Although the prevalence of mental illness among white inmates is higher than among black inmates, black offenders with mental illnesses are nearly always sentenced to prisons instead of mental hospitals.

“We’ve, frankly, criminalized the mentally ill, and used local jails as de facto mental health institutions,” said Alameda County health director Alex Briscoe in a 2014 PBS documentary on mental illness behind bars.
