The Hollywood Reporter's 7th annual List of Hollywood's Most Powerful Stylists for 2017!☘ ☘ ☘
The Hollywood Reporter's 7th annual List of Hollywood's Most Powerful Stylists for 2017!☘ ☘ ☘
Now that awards show season has officially ended, THR unveiled its seventh annual list of The Most Powerful Stylists in Hollywood.
Taking the number one spot this year is Karla Welch, the stylist behind this season's red carpet breakout star, Ruth Negga. Welch's ability to turn the Hollywood newcomer into a fashion force on the red carpet (while wearing an ACLU ribbon, nonetheless) helped her jump a whopping eight spots on the list after ranking at number nine in last year's list. Rounding out the top five of 25 were Petra Flannery, Kate Young, Elizabeth Stewart and Julia von Boehm.
Also notably making his debut on this year's list is Law Roach, the stylist behind Celine Dion's incredible style transformation last year. Along with Dion, Roach also styles Zendaya and is the co-creative director of her fashion line, Daya by Zendaya—making him a rising force in the styling world in itself. Micaela Erlanger (the force behind both Meryl Streep and Lupita Nyong'o's style) and Jason Bolden (who gave us all those wonderful Taraji P. Henson looks this season) are also among those featured on this year's list.

#RHoA: So NeNe and Kim really do want to return to RHoA….But Do we want them back?
NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak's return to the hit show is one step closer to fruition as they have reportedly reached negotiation stages.
The former Glee actress, 49, and the Don't Be Tardy star, 38, have both been offered deals to return to the Bravo show for its impending season 10, sources claim.
According to TMZ, the show's producers are keen for the frenemies to return as full-time cast members.
But since leaving the show both stars have found huge success in their individual careers and will subsequently have to fit filming into their very busy schedules. NeNe is currently working on hit shows such Fashion Police, meanwhile Kim has her own reality TV show, Don't Be Tardy.
But if Bravo are serious about re-signing the fan favourites they may have to attach big figures, as Kim has recently confessed that she is 'motivated by money'.
Back in September, NeNe told People that she turned down an offer to return to the hit reality show after drawn-out negotiations with the network for the current season nine.
'I heard once they couldn't work their deal out with me, they went to Kim Zolciak,' the Broadway actress said. 'When we couldn't work the deal out on me making appearances, then they went to Kim to work the same thing, I suppose,' she snubbed. 'I'm assuming she took it.'
Ok whatever, The real Tea is Do we want to see them Back?
#EMPIRE: Jussie Smollett Releases Searing Music Video on Trump Administration

Jussie Smollett just dropped a provocative surprise video taking aim at the Trump administration.
The video went live on Smollet's YouTube channel shortly before midnight on Wednesday and is perhaps his most direct approach to speaking out against the rise in bigotry and hate that took center stage during the 2016 presidential election.
According to a press release, the record, entitled "F.U.W", is accompanied by a visual produced and directed by Smollett to combat the "race-baiting, bigotry and xenophobia of the current administration" and highlight the minority and immigrant experience in America right now.
The latest celebrity video to protest Trump this week, following rapper Snoop Dogg's controversial clown video that targets President Trump with a gun, Smollett hopes to spark viewers to stand up for their rights even if the world seems against them.
"This is not a single. It's not a song to promote the series. It's an artistic expression," said the actor, singer, and activist in a statement. " My view of this sick cycle, an era in which we must fight our way out of before it's too late. This view of unity is something they may never understand. That is why it is up to us. Train your daughters and sons to be soldiers of love, despite and in spite of this F#$* Up World."

Throughout the video, Smollett references controversial issues that have plagued the first 100 days of the Trump administration and caused thousands of protests across the country, from the Dakota Access Pipeline construction, to the fight for transgender bathroom rights, to the travel ban.
In direct reference to the president, a man wears a mask with a Trump likeness in one scene. In another, the mask is crushed by a person rolling over it with his wheelchair.
Individual protests movements against the Trump administration are united throughout the video with images of a young boy donning a hoodie as well as men and women of different races and religions all holding their first in the air and standing in solidarity.
Smollett sings that even the divisive nature of solutions the administration has offered, such as building a wall to keep out immigrants, "won't keep us from loving each other."

#HIPHOPNEWS: Meek Mill Charged with Assault After Airport Scuffle
Meek Mill was charged with assault following an altercation at St. Louis International Airport on Wednesday (March 15).
According to TMZ, the incident occurred after an airport employee tried to get a photo with the Philly rapper. He reportedly “wasn’t having it” and a fight ensued.
Airport police were called and Meek was charged with misdemeanor assault, along with two other airport employees. Instead of being arrested, they were given a summons to appear in court.
The charge could create a problem for Meek, who is currently on probation for a weapons and drug conviction.
Meek, who is readying his next project DC4.5, has yet to comment.
Taylor Swift to Launch Streaming Service Website Called “Swifties”
“Get Out” Star Daniel Kaluuya Responds to Samuel L. Jackson’s Comments About His Casting: “I Resent That I have To Prove I’m Black”
The music streaming service business has been booming, however, many artists still find issue with certain services in regards to their proper payouts.
In an effort to combat the issue, several big name ballers have switched over to alternative services to reap the benefits of their music, i.e. their royalties.
According to TMZ, Taylor Swift is considering a similar alternative option, but instead of allowing someone else to control her payout, she is looking to be in total control by starting her own service.
The singer recently filed documents to brand a website “featuring non-downloadable multi-media content in the nature of audio recordings,” called “Swifties.”
Sources say Swift is sick of fighting with Spotify over her money. Back in 2014, the pop princess pulled her catalog from the streaming service because of their feud over royalties. With her new service, which will also include the sale of instrumentals and special opportunities for her fans, Swift is looking to settle this streaming issue, once and for all.
Was Jay Z on to something when he acquired Tidal?
WOW!!! 911 operator who failed to say Tamir Rice had ‘fake’ gun was Black
On Nov. 22, 2014, at around 3:30 p.m., Tamir Rice was killed at Cudell Recreation Center in Cleveland after the local police got a call about a man waving a gun around. Within seconds of arriving at the scene, Tamir was shot and killed.
911 dispatcher at City of Cleveland, Constance Hollinger, received a phone call that eventually led to a white officer, Tim Loehmann, fatally shooting 12-year-old Tamir Rice.
Since Tamir’s death, lawyers and officers have been attempting to prove whether or not officer Loehmann was in the wrong.
According to dailymail.com, police Chief Calvin Williams read on March 10, 2017, that Hollinger knew the gun Tamir was playing with was not real. The caller mentioned that Tamir “was probably a juvenile” and “the gun is probably fake.” After hearing this, she still failed to report those important details.
Cuyahoga County prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty mentioned that Tamir’s death may not have happened if officer Loehmann had been aware of the missing details.
Dispatcher Hollinger was recently given an an eight-day suspension by Cleveland’s internal disciplinary system for her actions. Many people are arguing that since her failure resulted in the death of an innocent, this punishment is not severe enough.
‘Matrix’ Reboot With Michael B Jordan Is In The Works
Michael B Jordan Enter the Matrix!
Warner Bros. are in the early stages of what it looks to be a reboot of the iconic ‘Matrix’ trilogy. There is also speculation that Creed actor Michael B. Jordan is being considered for the starring role. Screenwriter Zack Penn, (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Avengers) , is being considered to write a treatment for this project
Via Hollywood Reporter: Sources say there is potential interest in Michael B. Jordan to star, but much must be done before the project is ready to go.
At this point, the Wachowski siblings, who wrote and directed the original and its two sequels, are not involved and the nature of their potential engagement with a new version has not been determined. Certainly, Warners would want the two filmmakers to give at minimum a blessing to the nascent project. The studio had no comment.
Joel Silver, who produced the original trilogy, is said to have approached Warners about the idea of mining The Matrix for a potential new film. However, Silver sold his interest in all his movies to the studio in 2012 for about $30 million, according to sources. Warners is said to be leery of including him in any meaningful role, as he not only has a reputation for budget-control issues, but apparently has a strained relationship with the Wachowskis. The siblings hold much more meaning for fans than the producer. Silver’s reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
#SPORTS News: DeMarcus Ware is RETIRING Passes on $9 Million Deal! “I Can’t Let My Passion Overrule My Sense”
On Tuesday, DeMarcus Ware made the decision to hang up his cleats, after 12 successful seasons in the NFL. DeMarcus decision to pack it up had nothing to do with offers or options, or lack thereof. In fact, Ware says he turned down a $9 million deal to suit up for his 13th season with a team he chose not to disclose, although sources suggest it may have been the Dallas Cowboys.
“You go through so much as a player to keep playing — for me lately, the neck injury, the back injury — and then you correct those things,” DeMarcus told the Monday Morning Quarterback.
“And right now as I stand here, my body feels great. My body feels youthful. There is no question in my mind that I could have played two or three more years. But I’m realistic about it. My body’s good now, but how long will that last? How long can your body hold up at 34, 35, hen what you do is likely to hurt yourself,” Ware added.
While football is America’s favorite sport, it’s also one of the most dangerous and unpredictable, causing a slew of wear and tear on the body.
“Now you see where I’m coming from,” Ware said on Tuesday. “How many times when I go through a full season do I feel great from start to finish? It’s hard. Football has been great for me. I love football. Always will. Heck yeah, I want to get out there and play. But I can’t let passion overrule my sense. I am walking away with respect. I gave the fans, I gave my family, I gave my teammates, everything I had every game. One hundred percent. One… hundred…percent.”
'This Is Us' Season 1 Finale Leads Fans to a New Theory About Jack's Death That Changes Everything
Still alive? This Is Us fans have been bracing themselves to eventually find out how Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) dies, given that the beloved character is no longer in the picture for the present-day action. The NBC drama's season 1 finale on Tuesday, March 14, included plenty of tense moments for him and wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore), but not the dreaded death scene, leading fans to take to social media to start kicking around a startling theory.
After the March 7 episode, fans were convinced that Jack would die in a drunken-driving accident, given that the patriarch was in his vehicle while several empty beer cans were in the passenger seat. The This is Us Twitter account even teased fans after the episode with a video saying, “This is it," furthering speculation that fans' death theories might soon be confirmed.
While the death is still apparently on the horizon, the season's final episode ended with the death mystery unanswered. Because Jack was as vigorous as ever in the finale, some viewers have started to wonder if he somehow faked his death, meaning he’s alive out there somewhere.
It’s hard to believe Jack would ever voluntarily leave his children behind, but maybe there is more to the story than the show has yet to reveal. Many show devotees still have trouble understanding why This Is Us would get rid of him, so fans would presumably rejoice if somehow their favorite TV dad appeared in the present day.
Check out the tweets from people hoping Jack’s death was some kind of hoax.
Tell Us: Do you think there’s a way for the show to bring Jack back from the dead?
Here's why Charlie Hunnam doesn't like acting in sex scenes
Charlie Hunnam has simulated sex with some of the most beautiful actresses in the world — and chances are he was hating every second of it.
Hunnam isn’t the only actor to admit that movie sex isn’t as steamy as it seems, but his aversion to getting down and dirty with his costars goes way beyond the rote awkwardness of the situation.
For starters, his longtime girlfriend Morgana McNelis is not a fan of watching him get intimate with other women. But perhaps even more importantly, as he tells Elle, “I’m also a germophobe.”
He explains, “I’ve been profoundly germophobic since I was a young child. I don’t want to kiss anyone but my girlfriend for my whole life.”
The origin of his phobia goes back to grade school. “When I was maybe eight or nine, there was a parasite from dogs in the north of England that, if you ingested it, could turn you blind,” he says.
“We had a thing in schools to educate the kids about the importance of hygiene, specifically around dogs, because we had a few kids who went blind,” Hunnam continues. “That horrified me. The point is, everyone thinks it’s great to be an actor and get to kiss a bunch of beautiful actresses in films, but I actually hate it.”
For a guy who doesn’t enjoy shooting sex scenes, it seems Hunnam dodged a bullet when he backed out of starring in Fifty Shades of Grey due to a scheduling conflict. Asked if he’s seen the film since the ordeal, he admits to Elle, “I haven’t. I developed a friendship with [director Sam Taylor-Johnson], but that was a somewhat traumatic experience for me. I didn’t want to open that wound.”
