Alicia Keys Opens Up About What Inspired Her To Go Makeup Free
Alicia Keys is readying the release of her sixth studio album, and as she debuted the lead single for the LP – “In Common” – she also unveiled a makeup free photo as the song’s artwork.
In an essay for Lenny Letter, she shares that the #nomakeup movement serves as inspiration for her new LP. She says that before hitting the studio to cook up new music for the album, she wrote a list of things she was sick of.

“And one was how much women are brainwashed into feeling like we have to be skinny, or sexy, or desirable, or perfect,” explains the songstress.
Every time I left the house, I would be worried if I didn’t put on makeup: What if someone wanted a picture?? What if they POSTED it??? These were the insecure, superficial, but honest thoughts I was thinking. And all of it, one way or another, was based too much on what other people thought of me.

Alicia reveals that once the photo she took with Paola came out as the artwork for her new song “In Common” – “It was that truth that resonated with others who posted #nomakeup selfies in response to this real and raw me.”

“I hope to God it’s a revolution,” she adds. “Cause I don’t want to cover up anymore. Not my face, not my mind, not my soul, not my thoughts, not my dreams, not my struggles, not my emotional growth. Nothing.”
Additionally.. A. Keys is a fresh-faced beauty in a snapshot her husband, Swizz Beatz, shared from her Vanity Fair photoshoot. “You look 19 without make up,” he captioned the photo. “My fav pic #vanityfair.. the fact that this is a new pic.”

#RHOA: Kenya Moore Possibly Shuts Down Pregnancy Rumors?
She might have just set the record straight on rumors that she is pregnant.

While Kenya Moore has remained coy about speculation that she is pregnant with her first child, it looks like she has possibly quieted the rumors without saying a word.
Instead, she posted a photo of her in a bikini over Memorial Day weekend that could shut down the rumors that she is pregnant.
Even though the picture features Moore from an angle that doesn’t show her complete belly, it doesn’t look like she’s hiding one either.
She added the caption, “Peace of mind is everything.”
Interestingly enough, Moore has also been flaunting more body hugging dresses as opposed to the loose fitted clothes she has been sporting in the past few months. She donned a white, adorable dress that fit closely around her belly, which doesn’t seem to have left room for much of baby bump, at the WeTV Match Made in Heaven premiere last week.

While it still isn’t clear if Moore is pregnant, she and her longtime boyfriend Matt Jordan are still going strong months after their relationship premiered on the hit reality show, The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
He accompanied her to the red carpet premiere and the two snapped a selfie together.
Moore revealed back in December that she would be undergoing IVF treatments in hopes of having her first child.
“I actually have an appointment set up for early next year,” Moore said.
She added that she didn’t really want to be pregnant during taping. So this would be the perfect time for her to have a child

So is she or isn’t she and will more importantly will she?



#EMPIRE: ‘Empire’ cast channels Their ‘inner Cookie’
Our favorite show, “Empire,” may be on hiatus, but that isn’t stopping the cast from channeling their favorite character, played by Taraji P. Henson. They call it their inner Cookie, and she’s all all about fame and fortune.
FOX’s “Empire” centers on a strong-willed music family led by ruthless patriarch Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, and his smart and sassy ex-wife Cookie Lyon, played by Taraji P. Henson.

Cookie’s style, attitude and confidence have helped her become one of the show’s fan-favorite characters, and earned Henson a Golden Globe for best actress in a television drama.

Even the “Empire” cast loves them some Cookie.
Gabourey Sidibe: “I have had to go all Cookie on people every now and then. It’s really, really good to have that in your back pocket. And the thing is, like, it’s not that people get scared of you. They are just too tired to argue with you. People are too tired to argue with Cookie because she’s relentless, and so that’s the power of Cookie.”
In fact, channeling the fun and fiery character is hard to resist for most of the cast.
Ta’Rhonda Jones: “Oh, yeah. I think everybody has a little bit of Cookie in them. One thing I can say, I kind of picked up on is Cookie’s fashion. Like, I’m always making sure I’m on point.”

Cookie attitude is key.
Grace Gealey: “You know what’s funny? Now, you probably won’t see me being very forward with a lot of people in public just because of our position and stuff, but there are times when I kind of have to shut some people down because they can’t separate character and person.”

The guys disagree. Hmm. Maybe it’s a woman thing.
Actor Trai Byers says he can’t get away with that kind of drama.
Trai Byers: “Like, back in the day when, I was young. I’m not a kid anymore.”

While the show’s on hiatus, one thing’s for sure: It seems fans and the fab cast can’t resist a little Cookie in real life.



#DIGGIN In The Classics Of R&B: El DeBarge – “Love Always”
Often we hear so much about the downside of 80’s R&B being adult-focused music. Adjectives like sleepy, tired and lame abound and yes there were definitely those types of productions in the marketplace but there were also some real gems. Our offering today I consider a real gem. Culled from El’s first solo outing and written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager, “Love Always” was a staple of quiet storm programming and late night video offerings on BET upon its release some thirty years ago. Even though some may have thought that this music was a little too old for us teenagers at the time, I believe that it was just the type of soundtrack that we needed as we embarked on learning the finer points of relationships and romance.

There’s definitely something to be said for the love letter as opposed to the DM, but that’s another blog for another day. Enjoy the flash back of El DeBarge!

OH DEAR? HAS TAMAR BEEN DROPPED FROM HER RECORD LABEL?
HipHollywood is reporting that Epic records has dropped narcissistic, Tamar “bad attitude” Braxton due to poor sales of her last album. The Daily Mail Online is also reporting the news saying:
Unfortunately, Tamar’s solo music career is also looking bleak. Her most recent CD ‘Calling All Lovers’ has only sold a fraction of the sales of her previous effort, ‘Love and War,’ and her record company Epic Records had quietly dropped her from its roster.

‘Sadly, there’s no solo career to concentrate on. After being previously dropped from five record labels prior to landing at Epic, she’s now been dropped a sixth time and will have to start all over again,’ the source revealed.
Braxton still appears on Epic’s website roster. HipHollywood reached out to reps at the label, as well as Braxton’s personal publicist, but have not gotten a response. #StayTuned.



Drake Had A Pool Party & It Turned Into The Bad Girls Club Cops Called!
Foolery ensued yesterday at Drake's Memorial Day pool party.  Girl fights, cops and all. Drake said his pool parties are like Mardi Gras, and apparently he wasn't lying.

However, cops were called to his mansion in the posh Hidden Hills neighborhood of L.A.  It was all thanks to plenty of fights that broke out and noise complaints.
According to reports, cops were called mostly during 9p-10:30 due to excessive loudness.  By the time cops got there, things were calmer, so they left.\
Neighbors tell media that paramedics also were called to the scene, but the circumstances surrounding that are unclear.
What IS clear is that girls were arriving all day and all night by the busload.  So it's not shocking that tons of girl fights erupted. 

Peep the video HERE

Celebs like Romeo Miller, ballers Brandon Jennings and Demar Derozen, and more were all there too.  More pics and videos of Drizzy in his Jordan jersey and Nike Presto Vans and more below:



BEYONCE’ CONTROVERSY #100: Swedish Choreographer Blasts Beyonce
Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman puts Beyonce on blast for stealing his choreograhgy for her Formation World Tour...

Alexander Ekman tells SVT.se
"I saw a clip on Youtube. It was a strange feeling. As to see my own ideas in a huge forum before a huge audience, [and not be] part of it."
"I know that they have received inspiration from Swan Lake. Her team works in this way. It is common to communicate that they want to take part in a 'mood board', but it ends up taking instead of "copy but make it better." 
"It's not like I have the exclusive right to dance in the water, but in this case I know that it is my choreography." 
"At first I was flattered, but have since become a little angry. They earn so much money on this."
It is not the first time this happens either. I talked to a friend of mine, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, they had twisted his scenography outright. He had been in touch with her team, but had received no reply. I think this is an interesting discussion. What do I have as an artist to put against this giant artist? For her play this matter. Her team protect her against even having to confront something like this."

Actor Michael Jace convicted of 2nd-degree murder
Actor Michael Jace, 53, who once played Michael Jordan in the 1999 TV movie “Michael Jordan: An American Hero” andofficer Julian Lowe on “The Shield,” reportedly and sadly killed his wife April on May 19, 2014 at their Hyde Park, California home. He shot her three times.
According to media reports, during the 911 call to police, Jace admitted, “I killed my wife.”

His attorneys argued he should be convicted of voluntary manslaughter because the acts wasn’t premeditated.
The couple’s children were home at the time; their sons were ages 5 and 8, they witnessed the shooting. April, 40, had an adult son from a previous relationship. They were married for 10 years and she wanted a divorce.
Jace shot her in the back, taunted her and then shot her in each of her legs.
Jace’s 10-year-old son testified that he heard his father say, “‘If you like running, then run to heaven,'” before firing the second time.
He claims he didn’t intend for her to die, he just wanted her to be in pain.
April was an American masters track and field athlete who competed in sprinting competitions. She was the 2011 world champion in the women’s over-35 4×100 meters relay.
At the time of her death, April’s family sought donations to cover funeral expenses. They wrote in part:
“April was a vibrant, beautiful woman and an incredibly dedicated mother. We will all miss her contagious laughter, vivacious personality and her radiant smile.”

“Now, her youngest sons are left without a mother or a father to care for them. As the press dies down, these precious young boys will be left with ongoing reminders of their utterly tragic loss.”
“We cannot reverse the senseless violence that resulted in April’s death but we can invest in the lives of her innocent children that are paying the price for it.”
Today, Tuesday, May 31, 2016, a jury finds Jace guilty of second-degree murder. The verdict was decided by a jury of six men and six women after a weeklong trial. According to FOX, “The actor bit his bottom lip when the verdict was read but showed no other emotion.”

With this conviction, he faces 40 years in prison.



Mark Salling Dismissed From “Gods And Secrets” Due To Child Porn Indictment
He’s facing up to 20 years in prison for possession of/receiving child pornography and now Mark Salling has been fired from his role on Adi Shankar’s “Gods and Secrets.”

The “Glee” star was arrested back in December and indicted this past Friday ahead of his arraignment later this week.

Shenkar told press, “The innocence of our planet’s children is something that must be protected at all costs. As entertainers, our role is to be the ‘conscience of humanity,’ striving to make the world better for future generations. Sadly, we live in a country where statistically at least 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, 80,000 children are reportedly sexually abused every year, and at least 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18. According to available data, every two minutes, an American is sexually assaulted. Even more troubling, exponentially more cases go unreported as in most situations, authority figures are ill equipped to help. The aforementioned statistics are nauseating, reminiscent of a third world country, and until very recently, kept out of the limelight. Child abuse is a cultural cancer whose tentacles penetrate far deeper than a single celebrity caught with illicit images on his computer, just as date rape is a is a far more prominent issue than the repeated transgressions of one mediocre entertainer from the 1970s. Child abuse is a democratic disease existing across socioeconomic lines affecting every walk of life. It affects all of us, and more importantly, its existence needs to cece [sic] to exist. Period.”

The Daily Buzz For May 31



Uzo Aduba: 'Orange is the new Black' actress cover Radiant Health Magazine
For the June/July 2016 issue of Radiant Health Magazine, 'Orange Is The New Back' actress; Uzo Aduba makes a perfect poster girl.
Wearing her mane slick with a bold braided updo, Aduba wore a soft makeup look for the cover scoring a black leather neck detailed piece for the cover shot.

The actress dished on growing up, her career and more in the new edition. Read up her interview here.



Warriors remain VICTORIOUS! Beat OKC..Now heads to championship against Cleveland!
OAKLAND CA- It was nervy before it was brilliant, before the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry poured 36 points into the 96-88 culmination of an incredible comeback from down 3-1 in the Western Conference finals, just the 10th team to achieve the feat. On Monday night, the Warriors completed their crawl from the grave, while simultaneously snagging a second straight ticket to the Finals. After starting Andre Iguodala for the first time all season, the Warriors closed the Oklahoma City Thunder out.
When asked whether he gets classic pregame butterflies in his stomach, Klay Thompson told ESPN.com, “No.” Then a pause, followed by an admission.

“OK, for a game like this, a little bit.”
For a game like this, is unlike any other game. “Game 7,” the two best words as the saying goes, can actually produce some hideous basketball because it is unique. The extreme variance of Game 7 can express itself as rushed jumpers, held passes and general stagnation.

True to that framework, Golden State had a jittery beginning as Oklahoma City locked down defensively. A general anxiety seemed to restrict the offensive flow.
The Thunder are, in some ways, well positioned for such a game -- they’re the best offensive rebounding team in basketball. So Oklahoma City's misses are more easily converted into something productive. When Golden State shots go begging, the team receives little in the way of charity. After the first quarter, the Thunder had outscored the Warriors 6-1 on second-chance points.
But Thompson, as he’s often done this playoffs, provided his team with some necessary airspace. He banged home four second-quarter 3-pointers, the first of which brought the crowd relief as much as a jolt. Golden State was teetering, threatening to fall down big in the second stanza yet again. Instead, the Warriors managed to close the half down 48-42, well within striking distance at home. Curry finished the half with a sprinting floater high off the glass that teased physics.

And then, the deluge.
Perhaps the butterflies flew away as Golden State stomped Oklahoma City in the third quarter, 29-12. It started with three consecutive possessions with a 3-pointer (Curry, Thompson, and Iguodala). That, combined with some hounding defense, helped unlock the dam as the offense gained a flow so free that Anderson Varejao looked off Curry and scored on a dribble drive. Some of the shots were suboptimal, but no matter: They went in. And that’s how the Warriors often win. Their bad shots are better than yours.

From there, Oklahoma City fought, and briefly made a game of it late in the fourth quarter when Kevin Durant brought its deficit from 11 to 4 in three possessions. That brief scare was averted when Serge Ibaka, who’d been grabbing Curry for much of the game, finally knocked him in view of a referee.
Three free throws brought the Warriors a measure of relief, but it wasn’t the exclamation. That came when, with under 30 seconds and the score 93-86, Curry wrapped the ball around his back, lost Andre Roberson and capped off the adventure with a 3-pointer.

And with that, it was done. Curry had found his MVP form again, the Warriors had found themselves again, and again Golden State is back in the Finals. There are more butterflies on deck, waiting to take flight.

#EMPIRE: FOR THE LAST TIME, Jamal will NOT leave the show!
He's coming back!

Despite what you’re hearing from BET.com who has a new ‘Alleged’ word on the grapevine suggested that Jamal Lyon may not be involved in Empire Season 3. Fortunately, Ilene Chaiken has put that rumor firmly to bed
Fans of Empire were really NOT OKAY with Jamal being the gun shot victim... That one solitary week between Episode 17 and Season 2's finale felt like an eternity - all we wanted to know was that our darling Jamal was safe. Fortunately, "Past Is Prologue" pictured the middle Lyon cub recovering from his injuries - panic over. Or so we thought... Ever since Season 2 drew to a close, debate has been rife on social media as to whether or not Jussie Smollett's character will be around in Season 3. Seemingly fed-up with the unnecessary chatter, Empire EP, Ilene Chaiken, has been quick to quash any such speculation. Speaking to TV Line, Chaiken shared: "It's the same damn cycle, all the time. Season 3 will be about really examining the journey of Jamal's recovery. In the finale, he comes out of the hospital after being shot, but he's clearly not recovered physically, and certainly not psychologically."

Not buddies any more...
Chaiken confirmed that Jamal will "continue to dig in his heels" about his family ending their backstabbing, violent ways: "The question now is, can Jamal also bring his brothers and his mother along with him on this stance, and say 'This is no longer how we have to go about our lives and our business?'" From where we're standing, Ilene, no he probably can't... But who doesn't love a good challenge, eh? When all's said and done, the most important take-away from this interview is that Jamal definitely WILL be involved in Season 3, and arguably more-so than ever before! There will also be a return for Mal's 'close friend', Miss Freda Gatz. According to Chaiken: "She's part of our story. It's not over. Jamal understands she's a victim, but he still has to deal with the fact that she shot him." Watch this space, folks - there's way more to come here... Did you expect Jamal to return?

Hip Hop News: Troy Ave’s Court Date Has Been PUSHED BACK!
The rapper is still recuperating from shooting himself.

Maggie Heckstall, one of the victims of the shooting that happened at a T.I. concert last week in New York City, isn’t pleased with how police have been treating her. 
Heckstall was the fourth victim in the shooting and was hit in the knee during the chaotic scene. As reported, the bullet lodged in her leg cannot be removed because it’s too close to vital nerves and police aren’t happy about it. They were hoping they could retrieve the bullet as evidence to build a stronger case.
During an interview with the New York Post, Heckstall said that police have been treating her like a criminal and not a victim from the beginning, such as hounding her for information while her wounds were being treated in the ambulance ride to the hospital. She is planning on suing the NYPD for harrassment. 
“Anytime anyone would walk to my door, they had six officers out here, staring into my room,” she says. “I cooperated with the officers. I don’t know if they wanted me to tell them more, but I don’t know what happened. Shots went off. Lights went off. I just tried to get out the room.”

According to NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, the shells recovered at the scene have been tested but they are still awaiting results. 
“I will say that shell casing you saw that was fired is in line with other shell casings recovered inside the VIP room,” Detective Boyce said. He also alluded that there could be a possibility of another shooter, but details have yet to surface regarding that.
Troy Ave was supposed to appear in court on May 29th, but his court date has been pushed back to later this upcoming week while he recovers from shooting himself in the leg during the incident.

While he is currently being charged with attempted murder, there is a good possibility the charges will be upgraded to murder.

Elsewhere  Friday night, Kandi Burruss Tucker and Rasheeda, who celebrated a birthday recently, stepped out for a girls’ night out on the town. The longtime friends helped kick off the Memorial Day Weekend at Prive nightclub.

Jazze Pha Is Broker Than some of the peoples Music Careers he produced!
In the music industry, producers and songwriters tend to be the ones that eat off of their success the longest.
After all, royalties can make life quite comfortable years and years down the line. Just look at how Kandi Burruss has managed to live a life of comfort and luxury off of her royalties from songs like “Bills Bills Bills,” “No Scrubs” and NSYNC’s “It Makes Me Ill.”

Jazze Pha was supposed to be set for life. The Atlanta-based producer’s list of hits includes Ciara’s “1,2 Step” and “Get Up,” along with many other notable artists in Atlanta including Usher, Bow Wow and T.I.

But Jazze’s big spending ways caught up with him because according to court documents that the Jasmine Brand pulled, Jazze Pha is BROKE, y’all.
The legendary producer filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy on April 28th in Georgia, explaining he is drowning in over $625k owed to creditors.

According to the court documents, the music producer – who runs his company Futureristic Entertainment – has less than $590k in assets and over $625k owed in liabilities to creditors.
The producer says his gross income for this year has only been $30k and last year he only made $65k from his business. His monthly income is listed as zero but his company racks in $14k per month.

His assets include $3k in his bank account, $60 in cash on hand, his 2 music companies are worth $1k each, the producer is owed $10k in royalties, his Georgia home along with along with a 2010 & 2015 Cadillac Escalade, $30k in household goods, $1k in electronics, $1k in clothing & $1k in jewelry (necklace).
The crazy thing is that Jazze was JUST on “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” last season acting like his shit didn’t stink when Mimi was trotting over her so-called artists Jessica Dime and Tiffany Foxx to work with him. Come to find out Jazze really needed a check from Mona and was just posin’ for da cameras.

Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

'Jasmine loves daddy's tattoos!' The Rock shares snap of his little girl staring at his biceps...
And Dwayne Johnson showed that even his baby daughter is a fan of his incredible physique, as he flexed his muscles while posing with five-month-old Jasmine - explaining that she was a fan of his tattoos.
The sweet family picture came as the actor revealed he was thrashing out the final details for his next movie, a passion project based on comicbook hero Doc Savage.
As usual, the 44-year-old superstar shared all the details in long captions next to Instagram snaps.

Dwayne posted the adorable photo of Jasmine checking out the tattoos on his shoulder and back.
He explained: 'After we feed her, Jasmine just loves looking at daddy's tattoos. I think it helps her digest.  
'Can't wait to one day explain to her what all this means. Chat about her cultures (Samoan, Armenian, African American and Italian). 
'And while these symbols may appear to be primitive, unsophisticated and crude - they're extremely sacred, thousands of years old and very powerful. My mana (strength).  
'Ironically enough the symbol she's fixated on is our ATUA (our God) protected by the small building blocks of my life and then by shark teeth. 
'Yuuuuup, we gonna have some good daddy/daughter chats. Until then she'll continue to use daddy's tattoos as a place to scratch, drool and spit up.'
On Monday, the Fast & Furious 8 star was all business as he revealed Doc Savage is a go.
