The Daily Buzz For June 13



Kate Moss Is Marvelous On The Cover Of Net-A-Porter’s The Edit
She has a new collection of apparel for Equipment, and Kate Moss is all about showing off her wares in her new cover story for The Edit.
The legendary supermodel poses for photographer Chris Colls in pullover sweaters, trendy trousers, and pajama-style bottoms, all styled by George Cortina.
And in her interview, Kate laments the death of David Bowie- “It was such a shock. I can’t believe it really. I knew he would always have my back…There are people who believe in you, that don’t give a s*** what people say. And [Bowie] was one of them.”


#RHOA: 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Season 9 Cast: Porsha Williams Fired Or Coming Back After Fight?
Some major cast changes could be rocking the ATL.
It has been reported that season 9 of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" may have begun filming. There have been numerous reports as to who is and who is not returning for next season's cast, and it seems as though one Georgia peach's time on the show may be in jeopardy.
Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks have signed on for season 9. They also stated that there was no word on NeNe Leakes's, Porsha Williams's, or Sheree Whitfield's roles on the show.

Kim Fields, on the other hand, has already confirmed she left the show.

According to Sandra Rose, Bravo is looking to bring in two new cast members. If either of these new women work well on the show, Porsha is likely to be fired from her full-time position, due to her numerous, violent fights on the show.

"Porsha Williams's spot is contingent on if they find a strong new cast member that has great chemistry with the rest of the cast and a unique story line," a source told the site. "Bravo really does not like the physical altercations Porsha has been involved in these past few seasons, and it's really hurting the brand especially the casting process."

They continued, "Bravo as a network does not want to be associated with physical violence on their network, like VH1. Porsha's social media following, fanbase and viewer likability are her only saving graces, so don't be surprised if there are two new housewives next season, but everything is still in the screening stages."

Would you like to see Porsha return for season 9?


#EMPIRE: Meet Bryshere Gray’s Family!
Bryshere Y. Gray who plays Hakeem Lyon on the FOX hit has found himself, quite suddenly, in the social media spotlight. It's not a place he's totally uncomfortable with, but as his star continues to rise, so does the focus on Gray's life away from set. That, of course, includes his family and his upbringing in Philadelphia. It also shines a bit of a light on Gray's mom, a woman the actor/rapper has frequently credited for all of his success both on and off screen. Look at pics of the family below.
Gray is quick to thank his family for helping him find his way to fame.


NEW MUSIC: USHER – CRASH
As promised, Usher has returned with two brand new songs!
After debuting the Master P-inspired “No Limit” featuring Young Thug on TIDAL, the R&B superstar comes through with “Crash.” This time around, the R&B crooner flaunts his falsetto over a pulsating rhythm as he gets honest with the woman he loves.

“Would you mind if I still loved you? / Would you mind if things don’t last? / Would you mind if I hold onto you? / You said that I would crash,” he sings.

Usher is readying his eighth studio album Flawed, which is reportedly set for a July release. Fans can catch him at the BET Experience at L.A.’s Staples Center on June 24.

Take a listen to “Crash” HERE



NEW HIP HOP: WALE FEAT. PHIL ADÉ – ‘REMINISCE’
Wale takes it back to the ’90s on “Reminisce” featuring Phil Adé.
The throwback jam pulls inspiration from Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s 1992 hit “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.).” Going off the same sample, using a familiar melody, Folarin rhymes about a slew of topics and also honors those who’ve passed.
“Shout out to fallen soldiers,” he says on the outro. “I pray to God that your soul will fly and what remains in your heart will cover all over us.”

Wale’s on a roll lately. In the last two days alone, he unleashed the Miguel-sampled “Her Wave” and the Meek Mill and Rick Ross-assisted “Make It Work.”

The MMG spitter is currently working on his fifth album, SHINE (Still Here Ignoring Negative Energy), due this fall.



THE TONY AWARDS…THE SHOW THE WINNERS LIST!
 
James Corden opened the Tony Awards ceremony tonight with comments about this morning’s shooting death of 50 at a gay nightclub in Orlando. It is the worst mass shooting in this country’s history. New York-born Omar Mateen, 29, carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse club about 2 AM, shooting more than 100 people. During a three-hour standoff, Mateen called 911, pledged allegiance to ISIS, and mentioned the Boston Marathon bombers.
 
“Theater is a place there ever race, every creed, every sexuality is equal, embraced and is loved. Hate will never win. Together we have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and celebration of that principle. This is the Tony Awards.”

Hamilton dominated the Tony Awards tonight with 11 wins including Best Musical, and The Humans took four including Best Play during the ceremony hosted by James Corden at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan. The Color Purple scored the hardware for Best Revival of a Musical, and A View From the Bridge won Best Revival of a Play. They and Long Day’s Journey Into Night were the only other multiple winners on the night, with two each.

The Broadway community had a heavy heart as it handed out its trophies tonight. Nominees, presenters, fans and the rest of the country were thinking about the victims of the horrific mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando early this morning.

Columbus Short Released From Jail He says: I never want to go back.
Columbus Short is officially a free man. The former Scandal actor has been released from jail after spending six days behind bars, according to ET. He had violated his probation terms that were a result of a former assault case. Initially, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail and six months at an in-patient drug rehab program after his drug test results showed that he was using marijuana.

Prior to this, Short was participating in the Pasadena Recovery Center Outpatient Treatment program but missed a week due to the death of his stepsister, his lawyers claim. He will resume his treatment there. He told ET,

I’m feeling grateful for the learning lesson and I’m fully accountable for my mistakes. I’m ready to get to work and never go back to that place. God is good.

His next hearing has been scheduled for June 28.

Orlando Gunman’s Father Says Son Was Upset By Gay Kiss, Not Motivated By Religion
“We’re apologizing for the whole incident,” his father said.

The father of suspected Orlando gunman Omar Mateen says his son was not driven by religious ideology, but did grow upset after seeing two gay men kissing in Miami a few months ago. 
In a statement to NBC News, Mir Seddique said his family was “in shock” after the shooting at a gay nightclub early Sunday morning. At least 50 people are dead and more than 50 are injured.
 “We’re apologizing for the whole incident,” read Seddique’s statement. “We weren’t aware of any action he is taking. We are in shock like the whole country. This had nothing to do with religion.”
He says his son got “very angry” when he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami a couple of months ago, and believes that was part of his son’s motive.
Authorities say Mateen, an American citizen in his 20s, acted alone when he opened fire on patrons of Pulse nightclub. He was reportedly armed with an assault-type weapon and a handgun.

Earlier reports from FBI agent Ron Hopper suggested Mateen may have had leanings toward extreme Islamic ideologies, according to the Orlando Sentinel.


Wendy Williams Readying Return To Radio with New Format
Wendy Williams has been in talks with radio syndication companies, as well as SiriusXM satellite radio, about a possible return to the format that made her famous.

The host of the televised “The Wendy Williams Show” left radio in 2009 to focus on her daytime talk show. Now, after seven seasons of dominating the small screen, and having her talk show renewed through the year 2020, Williams wants to launch a radio show with a new concept.
According to radio insiders with knowledge of Williams’ proposed show, she aims to create a radio program that would not be specific to a particular format. Wendy’s show would play on urban music stations, country music stations, pop music stations, hip-hop stations and even Latin music stations. She would also serve celebrity Hot Topics, similar to the segment on her talk show.
“Basically, she would provide the skeleton of the show that includes all of her talking segments and celebrity guests and the respective station could plug in the appropriate music according to the station’s format,” the radio executive told AlwaysAList.com.

In a recent interview with Kevin Ross of Radio Facts, Williams spoke about her approach to radio even during her earlier days as an urban shock jock.
“I was doing celebrity gossip from 50 Cent or Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie] to Suzanne Summers,” she told Radio Facts. “I interview all kinds of people and that’s the kind of radio show I would love to do. I’m really open. I’m not afraid to embrace all my roots from Taylor Dayne to Madonna, but I’m also a hip-hop head. I have a 15-year-old and I’m always asking him what he’s listening to and we listen to the latest music together.”
Wendy — who is already inducted in the National Radio Hall of Fame — acknowledges that the art of radio has been lost over the years as the syndication game shifts and changes and adapts to this digital age that we’re living.

“I do think the art has been lost. I don’t think it’s because of a lack of talent. I think there are a lot of people who can do it. I would love to talk to someone who offers flexibility. I don’t think there is a lack of talent but a lack of permission to speak and be creative,” she offered.

Oh WOW!
