See all the covers
Of his run with the franchise, James McAvoy tells the publication, “Even if this is the last one for me or for other people, you just are sort of grateful for the experience. I know I can speak for a lot of the other guys as well that it’s been a really positive experience for us professionally and socially and personally.”
#RHOA: NeNe Leakes, I’ll be back for Season #9 for R.H.o.A!
(AJC) NeNe Leakes, speaking to hundreds of fans at the Ultimate Women’s Expo this past weekend at the Georgia World Congress Center, refused to answer specifically whether she’ll be back for the ninth season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
But her teasingly noncommittal answer certainly implied that she will return because if she really wasn’t planning to, she’d say so. She’s that type of person.
The questioner asked straight out if she was coming back after complaining this past season without her was a “snoozefest.”
“Season nine?” Leakes said on stage. “Uhhhh…’Housewives?’ Uhhhh…. you got to wait for them [Bravo] to announce it. I can’t announce it. I would be in so much trouble if I made the announcement.”
“Maybe?” the questioner said. “Maybe. We’ll see. I think you guys will be surprised by who’s coming back and who’s not coming back.”
Leakes during her 30-minute talk also said she has a one-woman show which she plans to bring in Atlanta toward the end of the year.
She is also not into opening a boutique for her clothing line. “That’s not my thing.” But she says, “I love doing pop-up shops,” she said.
One of the sadder questions from the audience was someone who has no friends and wondered how to make them. NeNe couldn’t help her. “That must feel pretty lonely,” she said.
Of the Saturday speakers, NeNe and Mo’Nique drew the largest crowds.
‘Empire’ Cast Reacts to Season Finale Death: ‘It Was Like a Tornado’
(Variety) Fresh off of a suspenseful season finale, the cast of “Empire” hit the red carpet for their second For Your Consideration Emmy event at Fox lot’s Zanuck Theater. The stars said they were still reeling from Wednesday night’s cliffhanger.
Terrence Howard, Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett, Bryshere Y. Gray, Trai Byers, Grace Gealey, Gabourey Sidibe, Ta’Rhonda Jones and Serayah McNeill attended the event on Friday and everyone’s reaction was a mix of excitement, shock and nervousness.
- Howard: “Who the hell wrote this and how can I figure out where they’re going next? I loved it because I didn’t know where we were going and as an actor, that’s what you want. You like it when the director doesn’t give you the last 10 pages of the script because then you can’t do an impersonation of yourself and you can’t act like God predicting the future. It’s nice not to know the future and to have to live within the constraints of mortal man in trying to guess what’s going to happen.”
- Sidibe: “I was like, ‘Oh s—!’ We had a table read for it and we could not believe what was going to happen and it was amazing. The way they set it up we don’t know who is going over that cliff.
- Jones: “I had a stroke, heart attack, aneurysm. I had anything you can name. I definitely didn’t expect Rhonda to react the way she did. I didn’t expect her to be so gangsta. Her inner Cookie came out.”
- Gray: “The season finale was turned up, turned up,” sang Gray. “It was epic, unpredictable and it had so many side turns and alley ways.”
- Gealey: “Oh my gosh I think I was like everybody. I literally was like, ‘Ooh ah ooh ah nooo!’ It was all of that in one.”
- Byers: “I was nervous. It’s one thing to film it and it’s another thing seeing it right in front of your eyes and what the edits are going to be. It’s always different from what you expect. But, I had fun.”
- McNeil: “It was like a tornado. Everything just kept happening and at the end you don’t know what happens. I mean obviously I knew some of what was going on but we still don’t know who is going to die. So that’s the good thing; we get to be compelled by the story as well.”
- Smollett: “It’s quite the cliffhanger, so it’s going to be an exciting season three. I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen, I don’t know who really went over that cliff. I know nothing, so it’s exciting.”
- Henson: “I knew what was happening. I still don’t know who lives. They don’t tell us anything, so I’m still waiting to see who fell off the balcony myself.”
- The cast was also joined by “Empire” executive producer Ilene Chaiken and producer/director Sanaa Hamri. The cast and producers took the stage for a Q&A after a screening for fans and TV academy members. The event was followed by an “Empire” after-party held on the Fox lot which many of the cast members attended, including Jones and McNeil.
The 68th Emmy Award nominations will be annouced on July 14 and the ceremony will be held on Sept. 18.
“Empire” returns this fall on Fox
New Music: Stream Ameriie's new EP ‘Drive’!
Ameriie makes her return to the music scene with her new EP, Drive (via HHNM). The project consists of 5 songs, with Fabolous making an appearance on “Every Time.”
After an opening verse from Fab, Ameriie follows; singing about holding on to her man, despite people’s opinions that she should let him go.
During an interview with The Breakfast Club on Thursday, Ameriie opened up about her hiatus, saying:
I know I disappeared and people are like, ‘What happened?’ It’s because, I don’t really chase after fame. I don’t really love red carpets. Maybe it’s because of the OCD thing. They just give me a lot of anxiety…People ask me to do reality shows, but that’s not me.
She also revealed that she has more music on its way soon, as she plans to put out another EP in July.
In the meantime. Here’s her FULL DRIVE EP in full….STREAM IT HERE
New Hip Hop: Drake Feat. Lil Wayne – ‘Hype (Remix)’
Not only did YG premiere his new Drake-assisted single “Why You Always Hatin?” on OVOSOUND Radio, but Drizzy also dropped a remix of his own during Saturday’s episode.
The OVO boss calls up his mentor Lil Wayne for the remix to “Hype” off his No. 1 album Views. Weezy kicks off the track with a spitfire verse about Prince (“I pull up on ya in that purple thang, bumpin’ ‘Purple Rain'”), his ex Christina Milian (“You don’t see ‘Tina right next to me”), Steph Curry, and even Barney (“I call my AK Barney and I’ma let this Baby Bop”).
Just last weekend, Drake performed the Boi-1da and Nineteen85-produced song for the first time on “SNL.”

Those 'Angry Birds' are #1 at The Box Office!
Sony's The Angry Birds Movie took the number one spot at the domestic box office this weekend, pushing two-time champion, Captain America: Civil War, to second place as it begins its third week in release. Civil War's weekend, however, wasn't only about the domestic box office as it has now become the first 2016 release to cross $1 billion worldwide, doing so in just 24 days of global release. The weekend's two other new wide releases, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and The Nice Guys, finished in third and fourth position respectively. Also, X-Men: Apocalypse launched overseas one week ahead of its domestic debut and hauled in over $100 million.
Based on Rovio's mobile game application, Angry Birds finished just ahead of weekend tracking with an estimated $39 million. The best comparison from a performance standpoint is 2006's Over the Hedge, which also opened the week before Memorial Day weekend and scored a $38.4 million opening. That film, however, had much better critical reviews than Angry Birds is seeing (currently 42% on RottenTomatoes) and Over the Hedge scored an "A" CinemaScore compared to the "B+" for Angry Birds.
Good for the Birds!
SHOTS FIRED! Lee Daniels to Mariah Carey…YOU SHADY B*TCH!
What’s the Tea? Lee Daniels claims Mariah Carey tricked him into appearing on her upcoming reality show and he is NOT happy about it...
Lee Daniels sat down with Bevy Smith for Bevelations on SiriusXM radio and explained,
“That b**ch!... She says, ‘Come over…’ I show up to this room at a Kosher steakhouse somewhere on Wall Street, and the cameras are in my face and recording our conversation! And she says, ‘Dahling, dahling, dahling (sic), sign (the release form), sign it, sign it, we’re doing a little documentary.’”
“The next day, I’m reading… that she has a f**king reality show, and I’m terrified about it.”
“I don’t know if it’s a wise idea for her...I was at the gym, I saw it, and I was like, ‘Oh, Lord. What is she doing?’ I think it’s bigger than her. I think it’s not a good idea. I think that the true geniuses have to be saved from themselves sometimes.”
“She is very fragile, and she has been through a lot. She has been used, she has been abused… She masks it with this coquettish thing that is hiding her nervousness and her pain and her own family’s abuse to her. She is misunderstood, because she is really, really ride or die. She really, really, really will do anything for you.”
Waiting for that Mimi response

Larry David thinks white people only pretend to like ‘Hamilton’ to be ‘hip’
I’m going back and forth about whether I think these Larry David quotes are offensive. Larry David was doing an interview with the Mike Lupica Show this week, and he was asked about the smash Broadway musical Hamilton. Hamilton has been a phenomenon for more than a year, it’s pulled in tens of millions of dollars in ticket sales, and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has won a Pulitzer and a Peabody, plus the musical picked up no fewer than 16 Tony Award nominations. Basically, everyone thinks Hamilton is THE BEST. Full-stop. But no, says Larry David. Hamilton is popular because white people are just pretending to like it so they can be hip.
“Hamilton” may be making history on Broadway, but Larry David, for one, is curbing his enthusiasm. The comic actor took to the “Mike Lupica Show” podcast, which debuted Tuesday, to express his theory that a lot of the demand comes from white ticket-buyers trying to “solidify their liberal bona fides.”
“Yeah, ‘Hamilton’ — it was pretty amazing,” David told the Daily News columnist. “But I have a feeling there are a lot of white people who are saying they are completely blown away even though they didn’t really understand half of the things the people on stage were saying. They just want to solidify their liberal bona fides and how cool they are: ‘Yea, I love Hamilton. Yea I get it, I’m hip.’”
Lupica made a connection to the kind of voters who mislead political pollsters.
“I think some of them are. No but, the show is amazing,” said David. “No doubt about it, it’s an incredible show, but I do have this theory on a lot of the people that are seeing it.”
