Hollywood came to the Motor City for the world premiere of ‘Detroit’
Director Kathyrn Bigelow on stage with several members of the film’s cast, including Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, who opened up the show
Last night, Detroit shined bright like a diamond on the global stage as Hollywood came to Detroit for the world premiere of the highly anticipated film Detroit. Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow brought the docudrama to life for the 50th anniversary of the infamous 1967 Detroit riots. The film is a dramatization of police brutality during the riots and focuses on the murders of three teens at the hands of the police at the Algiers Hotel.

Rolling out was on the red carpet and got a chance to talk with several cast members and snapped some photos along the way. Check out the photo gallery below to see some of the star power that was in the building.

Movie is out Friday!

#RHoA: Y’all LYING! Phaedra Parks Denies Her Mansion Is Up For Lease
Phaedra Parks is denying reports she put her Buckhead mansion up for lease. Matter of fact, she said issa “lie.”
Phaedra, who is currently vacaying in Martha’s Vineyard, drove her point home with this post:
On Saturday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported the $1.9 million mansion was listed on Zillow for $10,556 a month.
Ironically, the listing has been pulled from Zillow. But, the way Google is set up…

A lie don’t care who tell it. But, maybe the listing was a big mix up. (side-eye)

#HIPHOPNEWS: AMC Joins With Questlove & Black Thought Of The Roots For Rap Yearbook Doc Series
Shea Serrano’s best-selling book The Rap Yearbook will be expanded into a six-part docu-series event as part of AMC’s original nonfiction programming in 2018 as announced earlier this morning in New York. The project’s executive producers include Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter of The Roots fame, alongside Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney.

Trump ousts Scaramucci as Communications director
President Donald Trump has removed Anthony Scaramucci as communications director, a little more than a week after the former financier was named to the post, the White House said on Monday.

The change came at the request of new chief of staff John Kelly, who started Monday, two White House officials said. It was not clear whether Scaramucci would take on a new role after leaving the communications job, nor was it immediately apparent who would take over the position.
“Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. “Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team. We wish him all the best.”

Sanders told reporters Monday afternoon that Scaramucci has no role in the administration “at this time,” but she refused to elaborate on the circumstances surrounding his departure.
“I’m not going to get into the process tick-tock,” Sanders said at the press briefing. “Look, as we’ve said several times before, what matters most to us is not who’s employed in the White House but who’s employed in the rest of the country.”
Scaramucci was expected to announce his new communications team Monday afternoon, but he was instead informed of the decision to remove him that morning in Kelly’s office. Scaramucci was not present when senior staff were told of the change, a White House official said. Another senior aide said the move came after discussions over the weekend. There was “no way” Scaramucci could work with Kelly, the senior aide said.

“Kelly is already changing the culture here,” said another White House aide. As the news broke, Kelly was spotted in the White House’s East Room for a ceremony, chatting with other senior officials.
Scaramucci’s brief tenure brought turmoil to the West Wing, including the exits of press secretary Sean Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus. Scaramucci had tried unsuccessfully to get a White House job earlier in the year, but he settled temporarily for a position at the U.S. Export-Import Bank.

His time as communications director seemed to start smoothly, with a friendly on-camera appearance in the White House briefing room on July 21, the day his new position was announced. Spicer’s tenure had been marked by combative exchanges with reporters, and the briefings were largely moved off camera until Scaramucci took over.
But Scaramucci quickly ramped up the drama by threatening to fire “everybody” in the White House press office if leaks to reporters did not stop. On Tuesday, he told POLITICO he planned to fire a press aide — but after he made the move public, it was delayed until the aide, Michael Short, resigned later that day.

Scaramucci also was widely criticized for a profanity-laced tirade last week in a conversation with a New Yorker reporter.

VMAs Moonman Goes Gender Neutral!
MTV is completely doing away with gender at this year’s VMAs (Video Music Awards).
First, they dropped gender specific categories like “Best Female” and “Best Male” to make it the “Best” whoever.
Now, they’ve gone a step further to erase gender by making their signature Moonman award the “Moon Person” award.

Via Rolling Stone: “Why should it be a man?” MTV president Chris McCarthy told theNew York Times. “It could be a man, it could be a woman, it could be transgender, it could be nonconformist.”

The move comes after MTV eliminated gender-specific categories at both their refurbished MTV Movie & TV Awards and the upcoming Video Music Awards; the network replaced Best Male Video and Best Female Video with the new Artist of the Year award.

At the MTV Movie & TV Awards, the Best Actor in a Show and Best Actor in a Movie categories included both male and female nominees, with Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown and Beauty and the Beast‘s Emma Watson winning the awards.
“The first acting award in history that doesn’t separate nominees based on their sex says something about how we perceive the human experience,” Watson said during her acceptance speech. “Acting is about the ability to put yourself into someone else’s shoes – and that doesn’t have to be separated into two different categories.”

Tiffany & Co. Taps Zoe Kravitz and Janelle Monae for Fall Campaign
Zoe Kravitz and Janelle Monae are lending their famous (and flawless) faces to Tiffany & Co.'s fall 2017 campaign.
Titled, "There's Only One" Kravitz and Monae are a part of a cluster of models who represent “power of individuality and self-expression."

"I think being an individual is one of the more exciting things about being alive," Kravitz told W. "And self expression is our right as humans. "To live, love, and express ourselves."
An equally expressive artist, Monae asserts that she's all about being your true self and inspring others to do the same. "I think that individuality and embracing the things that make you unique is important to humanity, for others around you who may be uncomfortable, with their uniqueness, to finally feel confident in just being just them, and understanding that they were made, you know, unique for a specific purpose," she told Elle.
Zoe appears in the ad rocking her super chic blonde pixie cut while Monae stuns in a short cut and cool newsboy cap.

Shot by photographers Inez & Vinoodh, the ladies are joined by Elle Fanning, principal dancer for the Bolshoi Ballet and America Ballet Theater, David Hallberg, American supermodel and activist Cameron Russell and musician Annie Clark.

The campaign is the first from Tiffany & Co.'s new chief artistic officer, Reed Krakoff.


#RHoA: Sheree Whitfield’s Battle Over ‘Chateau Sheree’ Dismissed
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Sheree Whitfield is no longer facing a $300k legal battle with her insurance company. The case over damages done to Chateau Sheree has officially come to an end.

According to our friends at thejasminebrand Here’s the latest: On July 17th, docs were filed in the case explaining both parties have agreed to dismiss all claims against the other. Per their agreement, the case was closed and the terms of any confidential settlement will remain sealed.

Here’s the backstory: Back in 2016, Sheree sued Central Mutual Insurance Company over damage to her Georgia home she named ‘Chateau Sheree’. The home has been under construction for years and was a major storyline for multiple seasons on RHOA.
Sheree accused her insurance company of unfairly appraising the damage done to the property, saying the home suffered water line issues that caused water to fill throughout the home and into the basement back in 2014.

She filled out a claim with her insurance company, but waited for weeks while the home was wet leaving mold and decay. Sheree claimed she hired an appraiser and sent off the report to her insurance, only for them to fail to evaluate the submitted damages. Sheree demanded $279,940.56 in damages.

Central Mutual responded, demanding the suit be tossed saying they already paid Sheree $359,156.20 for damages.

HBO Picks Up ‘All Def Comedy’ To Series With Tony Rock As Host
‘All Def Comedy’ Returns To HBO In December
HBO has placed a half-season order for Russell Simmons‘ “All Def Comedy” stand-up series.
The six-episode season will kick off in December as part of Uncle Rush’s overall first look deal with the network.

Via Deadline:The shows will be taped October 10-11 at the Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles and hosted by Tony Rock. Like Simmons and HBO’s original Def Comedy Jam, the series will feature stand-up performances spotlighting up-and-coming comics discovered at All Def Digital’s live weekly comedy showcase and online video platform.
All Def Comedy also will be available on HBO Now, HBO Go, HBO On Demand and affiliate portals. Simmons and Stan Lathan are producing with Chris Conti and Jeru Tillman. Lathan is directing.

“I have witnessed firsthand how the most cutting-edge, seemingly alternative comics become the driving forces in mainstream comedy,” Simmons said. “I’m thankful to HBO for allowing me to give these new voices access to mainstream audiences everywhere.”

“All Def Comedy” host, Tony Rock, is extremely excited about the series order.
He took to his Instagram page and wrote:
I used to watch Def Comedy Jam in amazement at how live the audience was and how funny the comics were. It looked like so much fun, I just wanted to be in the audience for a taping. The Most High did me one better and blessed me to not only be in the audience but to be the host of one of the dopest comedy showcases in the world. His vision for me is bigger than my vision for me… #Blessed#MyLifeisDopeandIdoDopeSh*t

I really enjoyed the special in November. So, I will definitely be tuned in this December.

How about you?
