The Daily Buzz For July 12



Patsy And Edina Serve Fashion Disaster On Out Magazine’s “AbFab” Cover 
No Lacroix?

From lavish premieres to Gay Pride parades, it seems that Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, the stars of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, have been everywhere as their movie hits theaters.
Now Lumley and Saunders can be seen on the cover of the latest issue of Out magazine. In true Eddy and Patsy fashion the duo star in an over-the-top photo shoot that highlights their extravagant-and messy-lives.
In the feature article for the August issue Out Editor-in-Chief Aaron Hicklin sits down with Saunders to discuss the history of Ab Fab and how Eddy and Patsy are really each other’s true loves after all these years:

“I think they’re happy being who they are with each other, and it doesn’t rely on a safe heterosexual relationship at the center of it. There was one moment when Edina nearly got a boyfriend, but just as she’s about to get a shag, she looks over and sees Patsy under the sofa.”

#RHoA: Adrienne Maloof, Gretchen Rossi, Cynthia Bailey & Vicki Gunvalson Filming New Reality Show!
Adrienne, Gretchen, Cynthia and Vicki.

An east meets west mishmash went down over the weekend, a ‘Housewives’ collision of current and past reality stars — captured by a few photos shared on social media.
Blasts from past Cali-realities, Adrienne Maloof and Gretchen Rossi were snapped with Real Housewives of Atlanta beauty, Cynthia Bailey, and current Real Housewives of Orange County veteran, Vicki Gunvalson.

The somewhat random foursome had fun cheesing for the camera, in a day described by Bailey as “the craziest ever.” The girl party initially looked to be some sort of hangout linked a future project, presumably to be announced at a later date.
Adrienne Maloof appeared on the first three seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Andy Cohen dismissed Maloof in front of the reunion audience, after she was a no-show to the Season 3 finale series. A revealed family secret and legal skirmish with cast bigmouth, Brandi Glanville, marked her last season on the show. Her ex-husband, Paul Nassif is a current reality player, starring on E’s Botched.
Gretchen Rossi appeared on the Orange County franchise from Seasons 4-8. She exited after a dramatic televised engagement to Slade Smiley didn’t rescue a flatlined presence on the show.

Stay tuned, as details emerge about the budding project.


Empire: Who is French Montana playing in season 3?
The rapper and Khloe Kardashian’s ex will appear in third season debut
Empire’s season 2 finale featured a bevy of twists, including Lucious (Terrence Howard) marrying Anika (Grace Gealey) and her potential death at the hands of revenge-seeking Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday).

So what do producers have in store for season 3? EW can exclusively confirm that rapper (and Khloe Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend) French Montana will appear in the season 3 premiere as music mogul Vaughn, a member of Lucious Lyon’s powerful inner circle. Could he be a potential love interest for Cookie (Taraji P. Henson)?​

Series co-creator Lee Daniels teased Montana’s appearance — as well as rapper Birdman’s, who plays himself — on his Instagram account Thursday.
Empire returns Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.

Warriors' Draymond Green arrested on suspicion of assault
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was arrested on suspicion of assault Sunday in Michigan, according to court records.
The records show East Lansing police arrested Green on a misdemeanor assault and battery charge at 2:28 am Sunday. Green was released on a $200 bond and he's scheduled to be arraigned on July 20.
“We are aware of news involving Draymond Green in Michigan over the weekend,” the Warriors said in a statement. “At this point, we are collecting information and will have no further comment until we have a better understanding of the situation.”

East Lansing police spokesperson Lt. Scott Wrigglesworth said that officers witnessed an altercation between two men outside an eatery popular after the bars stop serving alcohol at 2 am.
“A man was assaulted by Green and was uninjured,” Wrigglesworth said. “Green was arrested and taken to the East Lansing city jail.”
Wrigglesworth added that Green was cooperative during the course of the arrest.
Green faces a maximum of 93 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.  MLive.com was the first to report assault charge on Monday, citing sources with knowledge of the arrest.

Green is a member of the U.S. Men’s Olympic men’s basketball team and is scheduled to attend Team USA’s camp in Las Vegas July 18-21.



D. Wade’s Ex wants Divorce Deal Re-done Due to His Bulls Signing
*When we heard Dwyane Wade was headed to Chicago, our mind immediately went to his ex, Siohvaughn Funches. If you recall, this same woman didn’t take to being the ex-Mrs. Dwyane Wade very well. She apparently likes to sue, too. And she lives in Chicago. We’ll leave it at that.
OK, so here’s the deal. It’s now three years since they settled their divorce, but now the ex-wifey is pushing to have the settlement re-opened in light of Wade’s new $47 million contract with the Chicago Bulls.
Funches is also suing her former divorce lawyer, Brian Hurst, for malpractice, according to Kim Janssen of the Chicago Tribune. She claims that Hurst agreed to the $5 million-plus settlement without her knowledge.
On Friday, that suit was thrown out, but Funches was given the opportunity to file an amended suit, with her new lawyer saying you can count on it. Wade himself was not named as a defendant in the suit.

Wade and Funches settled in 2013 despite divorcing three years earlier and splitting in 2007. The two have two sons together. Wade has since moved on and married Gabrielle Union.

Don’t be surprised if Wade finds himself having to deal with Siohvaughn over the top histrionics. Three years ago she made news by presenting herself as homeless and living on the streets.



Drake and Rihanna honor young fan who died of cancer
After a March show in Miami, the Make-a-Wish Foundation facilitated a meeting between Drake, Rihanna, and a young fan of theirs who was battling cancer. Drake ended up dedicating his album Views, which came out in late April, to the teen, writing in the liner notes that “this body of work is dedicated to Megan Flores. I pray for your well-being every day.”

Flores died Saturday after succumbing to her progressive metastasized sarcoma, and both Drake and Rihanna have now paid tribute to her via social media.

“Rest in peace my angel,” Drake wrote in the caption of an Instagram post with a picture of Flores. “I know heaven is celebrating today. Thank you for the moments and emotions we share I am blessed to have known you in this lifetime.”
Rest in peace my angel. I know heaven is celebrating today. Thank you for the moments and emotions we share I am blessed to have known you in this lifetime. @ovomegann
Meanwhile, Rihanna reposted the picture she had taken with Flores and Drake when they met, adding a lengthy caption of her own. “I had the pleasure of meeting an angel on earth!” Rihanna wrote. “She’s inspired me so much with her strength and her perspective on life! So fearless and kind! It’s heavy news that I can’t slide in your DMs anymore like I used to!! 
There was always a smile waiting for me there! You brightened any day! Rest up baby girl! We will miss you!!”



BLOOP: Wendy Williams loses sponsor after coming out against black institutions
After Wendy Williams denounced HBCUs, the NAACP and Jesse Williams in general, Chevy has pulled their sponsorship from her show.
It was during her Hot Topics segment that she went on a rant against all three.

“On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There’s the NAACP,” Williams stated.

These comments landed her in hot water with sponsors and it led to Chevy pulling out of her show all together.

The Wendy Williams show struck an all-inclusive deal with Chevrolet, Carat Media and ACE Media Corp to include on-air promotion of the 2016 Chevy Malibu. This covered everything from custom digital content, social media marketing, and was set to carry through all of 2016.
That changed after Wendy’s recent comments. Chevy no longer wants anything to do with her show.

According to sources, Wendy has been “sobbing all week” over the situation, though she still refuses to apologize.

The President and CEO of ACE Media Corp, which is the company that was responsible for facilitating the Chevy partnership, is Andrea Holmes Thompkins who graduated from Howard University.



Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones debuts Christian Siriano gown at movie premiere
Leslie Jones sashayed down the carpet of the Ghostbusters premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday in a red gown, but it wasn’t just any red gown: The ensemble was the finished product of an eye-grabbing collaboration with designer Christian Siriano that came together when the actress sent out a distress call.

“It’s so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for [a] movie. Hmmm that will change and I remember everything,” Jones tweeted back in June. Shortly after, the Project Runway alum reached out to her on social media and the two were in business by the end of the month.
“It shouldn’t be exceptional to work with brilliant people just because they’re not sample size,” Siriano tweeted. “Congrats aren’t in order, a change is.”

Jones debuted her look this weekend and gave thanks to the designer on social media: “I want to thank my baby [Christian Siriano] for making me this fabulous gown and for my wonderful stylist [Brian McPhatter] for putting this look all together!”

See photos of her gown below.
Leslie Jones (@lesdogggg) was not going to be played at the biggest movie premiere of her career. So when the actress couldn’t find a fashion designer to make her dress for the @ghostbusters red carpet, she said something about it. Thankfully, former “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano (@csiriano) answered the call. The result is this gorgeous gown. #Boomerang by @lesdogggg
“Now that’s how you do it,” Siriano wrote on Instagram in response to her finished look. “You look stunning Leslie! Simple, elegant, powerful and chic!!”
Ghostbusters – also starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon – hits theaters July 15.


Look who’s pregnant it’s TIKA SUMPTER!
Well what do we have here?  A baby bump on one of our faves?  It definitely appears so.

Early this morning, the "Haves & Have Nots" star took the stage at the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  induction ceremony at the Sorority’s biennial Boulee conference currently taking place in Atlanta.
When Tika was named as one of the five honorary members (inductees are usually kept secret until the ceremony), she and her suspicious bump popped up on stage.  We're told she never addressed it, but pretty much everyone noticed.

We haven't confirmed who the father is or who she's dating.  So this was definitely a shocker.
Tika, whose government name is actually Euphemia L. “Tika” Sumpter, was recognized for her work as an actress (she's also starring as a young Michelle Obama in the upcoming movie Southside with You), and her work as a celebrity mentor for Black Girls Rock, Inc.  
International President Dorothy Buckhanan Wilson said:
“Honorary Membership is bestowed upon women with high ethical standards who have received international recognition for outstanding achievement. Each of this year’s inductees have demonstrated remarkable strength and perseverance to achieve her goals and have a positive impact on the world around her. Most importantly, these women have done so with a commitment to serving others, a hallmark of Alpha Kappa Alpha.”
Tika's in good company.  The organization also inducted Breast Cancer Champion Karen Eubanks Jackson, Ambassador Susan Denise Page, Attorney (and "Scandal" inspiration) Judy A. Smith, and U.S. Deputy Surgeon General Sylvia Trent-Adams.

Membership in a Divine 9 organization doesn't come easy, so congrats to her on the accomplishment.  And on that baby on the way!
