Oh? New Couple Alert: Pastor Jamal Bryant and his lady Tweet!
Well praise the Lordt! This is a Sunday Morning SHOCKER!
Pastor Jamal Bryant and R&B songstress Tweet are an item. Yep, these two have been getting closer than close for at least the last year or so. Tweet first revealed she was dating the pastor on an episode of Centric's "Being."
Now, they're ready to go PUBLIC in a big way! Pastor Bryant made the announcement that Tweet is the new lady in his life and that he plans on making her his “last lady” on a recent episode of “The Preachers”.
As for how they met, Jamal says he bumped into her while walking through Times Squares on his way to an Oprah Winfrey movie premiere last year. He said he asked her for a photo and things took off from there. “We’ve grown into an incredible friendship, said Jamal. "I call her my last lady.” Oh?
During another segment, Jamal asked Tweet what was the hardest thing about being in a relationship with him and she said other women. Not surprised.
She dished:“I guess it’s dealing with the women that send messages that said God said that they are your girlfriend. Then dealing with church people who say that I’m not Godly enough to be with him, but I have a relationship with God, so I’m good.”
HMMMMMMMM, Tweet should know what she’s getting herself into. Pastor Bryant has a history of cheating as it has been reported he had a baby out of wedlock while married to “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Gizelle Bryant. And impregnated a woman at his church. They ended up getting a divorce in 2009.
So yeah, be careful Tweet. Their announcement below:

#RHoA: Phaedra Parks offers valuable tips for entrepreneurs to be profitable
“When making business decisions, I first identify the problem. Next, analyze possible solutions. I weight the pros and cons and do the due diligence. It’s most important. Finally, I make a decision and stick with it,” offers reality star Phaedra Parks.
To prepare for the future, Parks believes it will be most important and profitable for business leader and companies to know the “importance of collaborating, recognizing when differing skill sets result in synergy, diversif[ying] and tak[ing] advantage of technology.”
The multi-hyphenate professional and entrepreneur who co-stars on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” hails from a family of politicians and preachers. Both of her parents are pastors and educators.
“I never had any intentions on being an entertainment attorney. I think this was truly my calling. My main goal was always to help someone, and I’ve always been very connected with Black men. When you look at the structure of the entertainment world and its leadership, there are not a lot of people that look like us. When I first got into the industry, that’s what resonated with most of my clients,” she avers.

#EMPIRE: 'Empire' Season 3 To Introduce Much Fiercer Cookie Lyon?
"Empire" season 3 will also reportedly introduce a much bolder, stronger and fiercer Cookie Lyon after her feud with ex-husband Lucious, who married Anika (Grace Gealey) in the previous season. Interestingly, "Empire" showrunner Ilene Chaiken supported Cookie's walkout during the season finale of the second season, Ecumenical News reported.
"They love one another, the path was clear, and all of the sudden, yet another thing from Lucious' past and the mistakes he made got in the way," Chaiken told TVLine in May. "And I'm with Cookie on this one: This is it. She's done. She's finished being hurt by Lucious."
The new "Empire" season 3 poster, however, seemed to hint the possibility of a reconciliation for the feuding exes. Do you think Cookie and Lucious will finally kiss and makeup in the new season? Or will Cookie's reunion with Lucious a part of an ex-wife's retribution plans?

Kierra Sheard embarks on 1st solo tour and launches new music app
Grammy-nominated recording artist, actress and fashion designer Kierra Sheard is hitting the road for her anticipated summer tour “Bridges,” but this time around she is traveling solo with an all-girl band selected through social media online auditions. After the recent release of her latest project, LED EP, the music veteran is excited to reconnect on stage with her fans singing all her greatest hits from the past decade.
In addition to her hectic tour schedule, Sheard is launching her new app,”UNLOCK MY WORLD” where she will provide her supporters with exclusive photos, live video streams, music covers and more. The app is available to subscribers on both Apple and Android devices. The folks over at Rolling out caught up with Sheard to hear more on what’s happening behind the scenes with the tour and she shares why this moment in her career is so special for her.
What sparked the concept behind your “Bridges” tour?
It’s my first headlining tour and I’m really excited about just being able to be myself and not have to filter so much. Hopefully, the following that will be there to see Kierra and, of course, to see God most of all. I’m not going to try to filter anything. I’m not going to try to change anything. I’m going to really be myself. I’m going to do other songs that I’ve been wanting to do for the longest. I’m just excited about this refreshing and transparent experience. I’m going to say things that I can’t always say in certain situations or certain kinds of buildings. You know churches and stuff like that.
What made you use social media as a tool to select your all-female band for the tour?
I decided to go this route because so many of us are building brands and I think that we tend to forget the power that’s in social media. I’ve heard other major celebrity artists who have chosen their makeup artists from social media. I wanted to give someone who may not have direct access or who may not have heard of virtual auditions period. I want to give people who have never had the opportunity that opportunity. There are more of us that are sitting on our phones, so to see an opportunity come across your phone will make you want to jump on this. A lot of the women that had sent in auditions had already been on a stage with Beyonce but some of the young ladies have the gift but they’ve never gone on the road. The only people that they’ve actually played in front of were inside of their churches. They’re really excited and it’s so refreshing to have people on the road with you that really appreciate this. Some of us have been doing this for so many years that we lose appreciation and respect for our craft and for the opportunity. We kind of just come in with you gotta pay me this and you gotta pay me that and all of these demands. We never really say I’m just thankful to even be here. I pray that I have no crazy people on the road with me. [laughs]
What was the process like of putting together your first solo tour?
It’s really a lot. This is a faith step for me. The tour is called the “Bridges” tour. With me being a Christian artist, I’ve been very limited with my outlets because a lot of people are like Christian music but are okay from it and don’t want to hear it. My ways of connecting with my following have been through limited radio and most of all social media and just going in and out of cities to connect with them. Seeing the responses on social media and seeing how people think and say that they don’t know that it’s very possible to bridge this gap between faith and real life. So many people act like because I’m a believer I have to leave this part of my life behind. God wants us to come as we are and He wants to talks to us on the level that we are on. I wanted to do something different.
What will the tour consist of?
The tour is going to consist of a panel discussion. We’re going to talk about relationships and building our brands. I always pray and ask the Lord to give me wisdom so I can speak to married women. We are going to have those kinds of conversations because there is healing in those conversations. The tour is very different. We’re going to do the panel discussion and then we’re going to do the music. I will also be doing covers. I’ll be doing Janet Jackson’s “Control” and I’ll do Jill Scott’s “Hate On Me” but then I’m going to go deep into my archive of music from when I was like fourteen singing those songs as well. Having all of these elements apart of the tour is very cost effective because you have to get bands the instruments. Some of the clubs didn’t want us in there. It’s been a bit of a task but I’m ready for it. It’s a faith step for me. I feel that people’s lives will be restored and they will leave from knowing that they can be a believer and still live their life but with a standard so I’m hoping that people will leave will that most of all.
What is the most pivotal message you want your fans to take away from the tour?
I would definitely say now that I’ve set here and thought. I want them to leave knowing that God will buy them at full price. He doesn’t want to buy us at a discounted rate. We don’t have to discount ourselves and being loved the way we want to be loved is very possible. I’m hoping that they’ll leave with the mindset of saying that I’m going to put God as a priority. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God wants our future to be beautiful and have hope and his plans for us is not a disaster. Once we include him, we will find that life is so much better and so much easier. I’m hoping they will leave just feeling restored and refreshed and just inspired to go after whatever dream that they have. Also, to tap into a better awareness of their purpose but most of all to not discount ourselves.
What was your inspiration for creating your app and what does it include?
My mom has an app and she is just not using it. It just kind of goes with her age, of course. We are dealing with a generation that is tech savvy and, of course, all of the Kardashians have apps and I’m like obsessed with them. I love them. It kind of makes us feel connected. I have some followers and some strong supporters who are always asking what’s next. We recorded the whole season of a reality show but it didn’t come back so I wanted to connect with them. They want to know what’s going on and what I’m doing next. I did this app, which includes videos, personal journal pieces, and live streaming. Inside of the app, I’ve chosen songs that I’ve wanted to sing or wanted to re-do because I could relate to it. It was a place that I have been in my life. I dated this boy who was very irritating. I kind of made myself a wife to this guy that was only able to make me his girlfriend. I reveal all my secrets. I am very transparent inside of the app and I just wanted to connect hoping to inspire. The app is available for both Apple and Android.
Do you have any other projects in the works?
I have a plus size clothing line and that too is in the app. Not too long ago we did a live stream of me in Korea. They saw me in Korea then I had to come back and they wanted to see what I came back from Korea with. I showed them the designs that are for next season and I let them weigh in on to see which pieces they like best, so they kind of advised me on prices and stuff like that. The plus size clothing line is all Eleven 60 and it’s named after my mother’s birthday, which is November 1960. It’s just a plus size clothing line there to complement the full-figured woman. It’s doing really well. They’re even more inspired and excited as well to see that I am building this from the ground up. That is a project that I am currently working on and then, of course, the tour and the app keeps me busy. I am getting ready to get back working on music. We’re trying to put out a single so that we can exclusively have it for the tour. It’s always things going on with me. (via rollingout)
Big Tigger Reacts To Rumors of Secret Relationship With Keshia Knight-Pulliam
\
There’s another twist that’s surfaced, surrounding Keshia Knight-Pulliam and her future ex husband, Ed Hartwell.
A source claims that the former NFL’er believed she was cheating on him with her ex and that he is the father of her unborn child, according to the Daily Mail Online.
As previously reported, Ed filed for divorce from his wife of eight months on Monday, and allegedly, blindsided the actress, who had just announced she was pregnant. Ed has also demanded a paternity test.
On Thursday, Keshia denied cheating allegations and legally has launched a battle to keep her property and earnings from before and during the marriage away from her estranged husband.
Reportedly, Ed suspected Keshia had continued her relationship with ex-boyfriend radio/TV personality Big Tigger (real name Darian Morgan) after they were married. Keshia and Tigger were together before she started dating Ed.
"Ed believes that Keshia had been having an affair with her ex-boyfriend. They dated for more than a year and even attended a White House Black History Month event together before they abruptly broke up in late 2015. Their breakup was so quiet and her relationship with Ed Hartwell happened so fast afterwards that when she announced she was married, many press outlets inadvertently ran photos of her and Tigger."
Pulliam fired back in a response to her husband’s divorce filing, demanding to keep the former couple’s lavish Atlanta home, her Cosby Show fortune and everything she earned during her eight months of marriage.
In divorce documents, Keshia has demanded to keep the house the couple shared.
Their five-bedroom mansion in a suburb south of Atlanta sold in April for $500,000.
The TV star also wants to hold on to her earnings, which includes the money she earned on the Cosby Show, and property from before she was married.
The source said:
"Ed had suspected the couple may have maintained their sexual relationship even though she moved on with him and that the baby could actually be Tigger’s instead. Keshia is adamant that is not the case, and she’s embarrassed all of this is going on. The Cosby Show kids pride themselves on being drama-free and never being in the headlines. The fact that she is involved in some “Maury Povich-type” drama is everything she’s worked to keep away from."
Tigger has yet to comment on this rumor, nor has Keshia.
"A source close to him [Big Tigger] said that he is currently out of the country and will be addressing these ridiculous rumors on his V-103 radio show in Atlanta on Monday, during his Trending Topics segment."
Wife of ‘The Preachers’ Host John Gray Removed from Plane Over Trying to Switch Seats (Watch)
*The wife of “The Preachers” host John Gray finds herself on TMZ after getting into a “heated showdown” with police and flight attendants on a plane from Los Angeles to Texas – resulting in her being escorted from the plane.
According to the website, the plane was pulling back from the gate when Aventer Gray tried to swap seats, aiming to let the nanny take her first class spot, while Aventer and her two kids sat in coach.
The flight crew thought she was looking for an empty seat in the back and tried to stop her, but Aventer didn’t listen. She refused repeated requests to leave the plane. In video of the incident, Aventer is heard saying she has a right to sit in the seats since she paid for them.
Eventually the police were called. Aventer remained seated but started crying during a heated conversation with officers.
Below, she is seen telling a cop through tears, “My uncle is dead, I have a funeral! This makes no sense!”
She got her husband Rev. Gray on FaceTime to explain why she was being kicked off the plane. He was not happy, telling his wife he was headed to LAX “in a few moments” and “make sure to follow up thoroughly.”
Via TMZ:
Aventer eventually deplaned, and hashed things out with American Airlines. She was allowed back on, but 2 of the flight attendants were swapped out … to avoid any further drama, we’re guessing. The flight took off after about a 2 hour delay. The video is interesting — other passengers didn’t seem pissed about the delay, but they were angry about how Aventer was being treated.
*Here’s a couple of very interesting developments that TBS is working on. Would you believe one of them is a scripted comedy series with plotlines loosely based the lyrics of songs from the late, legendary rapper, Notorious B.I.G.
The proposed show, whose title is “Think B.I.G.” follows the misadventures of an inner-city teen desperately trying to create a better future for his daughter and infant son.
On top of “Think B.I.G” TBS also announced production of “Storyville,” a 10-episode digital series will feature funny, absurd, weird and sometimes sheer joyful stories straight from the mouths of top celebrities. Deadline says the true-life stories of musicians, actors, comedians, writers and artists will be animated in detail, exposing the absurdity of celebrity life in all of its glory. Storyville will premiere this fall across TBS digital and social platforms. Get a taste below.
Mass Appeal is producing both shows. “Think B.I.G.” in partnership with Wayne Barrow of Bystorm Films and Voletta Wallace for Notorious B.I.G. Inc. and “Storyville” is hooked up with OkayPlayer.
“Storyville and Think B.I.G. speak to the types of projects we will cultivate with Mass Appeal moving forward,” said Brett Weitz, EVP Original Programming at TBS. “Mass Appeal is a leader in developing unique stories with diverse voices. There’s no better partner for us to connect with this vibrant, impassioned audience.”

Tyrese addresses rumors that he dissed Jay Z
Tyrese has always been outspoken when it comes to his thoughts on everything from sex and love to the world of politics. And it’s been no surprise that he’s had a lot to say about the currently volatile racial climate in America. However, his penchant for speaking up seemed to get him in trouble with fans this week when many believed an Instagram post of his was offensive to Jay Z.
The drama began this week when Tyrese posted a photo still from the set of DJ Khaled’s famous “I Got The Keys” video, which featured Black celebs like Jay Z, Future and A$AP Ferg dressed in black suits in a powerful pose uniting men of color. However, it wasn’t the photo that caused the stir; it was Tyrese’s lengthy caption under the photo in which claimed that he hoped the Black men in the video were working toward changing racist policies and an unjust legal system.
“They scheduled a video….. I hope they’ve scheduled other meetings about the state of black men and WHAT we need to do to change the shit that’s going on……… I’m scared for our future I’m especially scared of the most powerful black men and influential black men of our generation NOT finding time to take what’s really going on more serious and align our minds and powers to directly affect change……. I pretty much know everyone IN this pic so this ain’t no sneak diss I don’t need the attention trust me I’m good……. We matter so we have to put our minds together and decide HOW we’re going to USE this God given stage of influence to directly affect change and create greater standards for our community…… We get killed faster, we go to jail longer, we are also killing each other – a tap on the hand for raw cocaine and 20 years for crack cocaine, they legalize marijuana then give you 6 years in jail when you’re caught with a certain amount…. Even if you’re licensed to carry – #carrying while #black will get you killed even when you’re asked to SHOW your license….. So yeah videos are nice and the first week of sales are nice… But it’s some real shit going on out here and it’s time to DO something…… If #ALLLIVESMATTER this shouldn’t just be about what what ‘we’ as black people are dealing with… Show up for me…. This is when I need YOU the most…. Don’t be my friend at your convenience…. Don’t call me ‘off the record’ to check up on me…… This is a human race issue right?? Show UP for me…… This is HOW you directly affect change… The power is in the presence and in the numbers ..,” Tyrese wrote.
Well, despite his claim that it wasn’t a “sneak diss,” many fans took the caption as disrespectful to Jay Z and the many other men in the photo. However, according to media reports, Tyrese recently spoke out about the accusations of shade and denied that he had anything negative to say about Jay Z.
Tyrese reportedly claims that his message wasn’t meant to be divisive. Instead, he claims that his message was meant to be a call to action for all influential Black celebrities to use their power to influence positive change, especially when it comes to going to “Congress to change gun and drug laws.”
Tyrese even claimed that he’s “going to reach out to Jay to come up with some kind of plan to help save Black men from killing each other and winding up in jail.”
L.A. Reid dishes out $18M on LA mansion
L.A. Reid has forked out $18 million on a Los Angeles mansion, which was originally on the market for $28 million.
The 60-year-old music executive has snapped up a seven-bedroom property in Bel-Air, which comes complete with seven bathrooms and a built-in gym as well as a bar and a 300-bottle wine cellar.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the abode has an indoor cinema and retractable glass walls allowing for maximum space.
Reid, who is reportedly worth around $300 million, will also be able to skip the stairs in the three-story high property, which was only built in 2015, as his new house has an elevator.
But if he does prefer to use the stairs, then the former “X Factor” judge will not be disappointed as the home features two floating glass staircases.
What’s more, there is an infinity pool and spa, which could be ideal if he is in need of a relaxation session after a hard day at work.
The plush pad also features granite walls, white oak floors and boasts incredible views of the city and the sea.
There is also a chef’s kitchen featuring white wood cabinets and two islands, as well as a dining area complete with a chandelier.

A man was arrested after a bomb threat at the law firm owned by Phaedra Parks of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reality TV show.
According to Atlanta Police, Terence Cook went to the Bader Law firm on the fifth floor of the Lenox Plaza office building on Peachtree Road and told employees he "was tired of being treated wrongly and that he had a bomb".
Cook was allegedly attempting to get to the Parks Group law firm, which is on the second floor of the building. That law firm is owned by Phaedra Parks, a cast member of the Bravo reality TV show.
Homeland Security, Atlanta Police SWAT and Airport K-9s responded to the scene and searched the area. No device was found.
Police said Cook had a FedEx envelope and a book in his possession when he was taken into custody.
Cook, who TMZ.com reports is a rapper named "Drama" as well as a former client of Parks, was charged with terroristic threats and creating a false public alarm.
According to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, Cook has been arrested numerous times over the last 16 years, most recently in 2004 for robbery for force/intimidation and simple battery charges.
According to her website, Parks is an attorney, businesswoman, media personality, media personality, motivational speaker, author and social activist. She is also a licensed funeral director and has plans on opening a funeral home in the metro Atlanta area, according to the website.

BREAKING: Mary J. Blige Files For DIVORCE From Husband Kendu Isaacs!
In shocking news, Mary J. Blige has pulled the trigger on a divorce from her husband/manager Kendu Isaacs after 12 years of marriage.
The Grammy Award winning singer has filed legal papers to split from her husband/manager citing irreconcilable difference as the reason for their uncoupling. According to TMZ, Mary listed the date of separation as “to be determined.”
The last time they were seen together publicly (above) was during February's Elton John Oscars viewing party.
While the couple doesn’t have any children between them, Mary has requested to block Kendu’s ability to file for spousal support. It's unclear if there was a prenup.
The two trekked down the aisle in December 2003. You’ll recall, Mary had banned her husband from having any new female friends after they got together. She said:
"All females for me, all guys for him. There’s none of that, 'Oh, that’s my female friend. Oh, that’s my guy friend.' No. Not in a marriage, I’ve never seen that work."
And she scrubbed her Instagram page of any and all posts. It's currently blank.
It’s just unfortunate to see the demise of their relationship after so many years. On the flip side she could be on to making the best CD yet!
Mariah Carey looks sexy for ‘Complex’ Magazine’s August/September 2016 Issue
After heating up the ‘airbrushed’ cover of Clash magazine, Mariah Carey sizzles on the front of Complex’s August/September 2016 issue.
Inside the issue, the Mariah’s World star opens up about her E! docuseries, her divorce from Nick Cannon, relationship with her fiancé, billionaire James Packer, and she also talks Prince.
Read a few highlights from the magazine below..
On ‘Mariah’s World’: I’ve become more comfortable with it. In the beginning I was like, ‘Fine, we can document the tour, we can show what’s happening behind the scenes, with the singers, the dancers, the this, the that. You can see me when I’m on stage, I’ll talk—blah blah blah.’ But what I started to realize is that my best moments are off the cuff.
On her split from Nick Cannon: I never thought I would either, but I never thought I would have babies with someone and then get divorced. Like, ‘Oh, great job. Repeat your past.’ … But life happens and it was supposed to happen. It’s fine. For [my children], I wish it hadn’t happened that way. For me, it was [singing Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams’ “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late”] Guess it’s over. Call it a day.
On her relationship with fiancé James Packer: I don’t expect him to be at every little thing that I do, and vice versa. He’s got a lot of stuff on his plate and so do I. There’s a mutual understanding … He’s a private businessman and there are a lot of things with his companies that I just can’t talk about. It’s just not good for me to do.
On Prince: Prince was one of the best people I’ve met … He didn’t care about the big system. I was always like, at any time Prince could write a No. 1 song, because he’s that talented, but he chooses to do what he wants. I respect that. He actually helped me through a lot of situations with his knowledge. He always had a plan. I just can’t believe he’s gone. I was hoping that it was a trick that he was pulling—that it didn’t really happen.
#RHoA: Kim Zolciak-Biermann shows off newly plumped pouted Lips!
Right in the kisser! Kim Zolciak-Biermann showed off her new enhanced pout while catching a flight out of LAX Airport in Los Angeles on July 26, 2016.
The "Don't Be Tardy" star donned an all-black ensemble with oversize sunglasses and wore her long blond hair in loose curls while navigating her husband Kroy Biermann and their three oldest children, daughters Brielle and Ariana and son Kroy Jr., through the airport.
While waiting for their flight, the reality TV star took to Snapchat to share a few selfie videos, including one in which she explained that she'd worn giant shades to hide the fact that she wasn't wearing any makeup except for lipstick.
Or maybe she just wanted our full attention on her lips!
According to People magazine, the mother of six paid a visit to her plastic surgeon, Dr. Garo Kassabian, during her visit to the City of Angels. She reportedly chronicled the appointment -- during which she apparently plumed her pout -- on Snapchat.
Kim is no stranger to undergoing procedures to enhance her appearance.
"I will always nip and tuck if I feel the need to do so," the wig enthusiast told E! News in May 2016. "I'm open about it. I don't care. You only go around one time, and I especially understand that."
But the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum maintains that though she's had lip injections, she's never gone under the knife (to change her face, at least).
"I have not had surgery on my face period!!!!" she tweeted in June 2015 after a report surfaced alleging that she'd gotten a "full facelift."
Kim has previously fessed up to multiple breast augmentations and a tummy tuck after the birth of her twins Kane and Kaia.
"So it's been three weeks since I had my surgery, my boobs are perky, my stomach is super tight. It feels like I'm 20 again,'" gushed the reality TV star in a 2014 episode of "Don't Be Tardy."
"I look f------ amazing," she enthused at the time.
Well, we can't argue with that!
The blond beauty even introduced her oldest daughter, Brielle, to lip injections. In November 2015, Kim's mini-me took to Instagram to share a time-lapse video of herself undergoing the semi-invasive procedure.
Like mother, like daughter!
#EMPIRE: Will Jamal leave singing business in Season 3?
Meanwhile, Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollett) promised to never sing again until his family stops the violence.
Showrunner Ilene Chaiken tells TVLine.com that Jamal will keep his word.
“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?'” she asks.
Jamal’s Recovery: Jamal has to recover from a bullet wound because Freda Gatz (Bre-Z) tried to shoot Luscious for killing her father Frankie (Chris Rock).
Although Jamal is angry that he was caught in the crossfire, he may still reach out to Freda to stop the violence.
“It’s not over,” Chaiken says. “Jamal understand she’s a victim, but he still has to deal with the fact that she shot him. It was a hugely traumatizing event that she perpetrated on him. But he believes in her and in the mission of ending the cycle. So he’s going to have to do something about it.”
“Empire” returns to FOX on Wednesday Sept. 21 at 9 p.m.

Guess Who’s Playing Gianni Versace In a New Biopic?
A new unauthorized biopic on the life of late Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace has found its leading man in Antonio Banderas.
The Spanish-American actor signed on to play the iconic designer last year and began filming scenes in Milan around December, before production moves to Reggio Calabria, the southern town where Versace was born and then to Miami, where he was murdered by a serial killer in 1997.
Banderas shocked the fashion world last year when he enrolled as a fashion student at the renown Central Saint Martins university. In May, he presented his first 30-piece collection with Scandinavian label Selected at a presentation in London.
Speaking with 1granary at the time, Banderas said he began pursuing fashion because he’s “done 92 movies” and “there were other things in my life that I was interested in.”
He added that much of the designs were actually influenced by Versace’s early designs.
“Probably one of the happiest times of my life was the Eighties, and I remember Versace putting gold with leather,” he told Women’s Wear Daily.
“I had this in mind, so we wanted to add the gold color, it’s those little details. I love motorcycles, I ride motorcycles, so we wanted to have a jacket that I can use and people with bikes can use for that purpose.”

Rihanna takes the higher route by thanking the award show for the nominations on social media.

Yesterday, the “Work” singer took a tour around Prague, the capital of Czech Republic making a stop at The Old Tram House. She took a tour of the capital after performing at the O2 Arena the night before.
Being the fashionista that she is, the Bajan beauty worked the sidewalk catwalk (braless, of course) in a white side-slit dress by Parisian-born designer Faustine Steinmetz, topped with a Balenciga stole (that we’re obsessing over) and she finished her look with white Vetements heels and socks. Oh, and her Rihanna for Dior shades that just hit dropped. Come on through Rih!

Last month Tamar Braxton was fired from her job on day time talk show The Real after bumping heads with co-workers and network execs [click here if you missed that].
Could the same thing happen to Raven-Symoné? Sure sounds like it.
It was during a commercial break, and Raven started ranting about how she’s a serious artist,” recalls the spy, revealing that Fox News’ Jedediah Bila is being considered to take Raven’s place. “She was screeching about how Justin Bieber is a ‘little punk’ who thinks he can just make art when he doesn’t have a degree, and even took a shot at Tony Bennett, calling his paintings s**t – that really annoyed [co-host] Joy Behar; she looked like she was going to burst.” Raven also angrily smacked away make-up artists who tried to touch her up and concluded her eruption by huffing, “I just want to sit at home and paint – with a degree!” [Aug 1 Print Edition]
