#RHoA: Nene Leakes Claps Back At ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Fans Who Mentioned Porsha Williams And Kenya Moore?
Uh Oh? Nene Leakes found herself fighting with fans who claimed she was throwing shade at Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore.
Last week, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who is an avid user of social media, posted a photo where she is enjoying a lavish party thrown by her new BFF, Marlo Hampton.
In the picture, Cynthia Bailey is laughing while Leakes’ hands are on her head after hearing something surprising one of the ladies said.
The Glee star captioned the photo: “When @marlohampton invites you to her Hampton’s Tea Party, you betta know it’s gonna be fabulous! The tea was poured, the victim will always play the victim, will always be defensive and will NEVER take accountability #iwillremainsilent #thehamptonsinatlanta #girltime.”
The image went viral, and Leakes was flooded with comments from people who support Williams and Moore.
In the past weeks, Leakes had a back and forth with Williams.
Williams made it clear that she was not all that happy that Leakes was coming back to the hit show.
Leakes hit back with “she can eat my peach.”
According to Radar Online, Moore had a fight with Leakes who is determined to prove that her marriage to Marc Daly is a sham.
For those reasons, supporters think Leakes is going after her co-stars.
One said: “Wait! Are they talking about Porsha? I assumed it was Kenya. Guess I’m the ass. Glad it isn’t Kenya. Well, we don’t actually know.”
Another claimed: “Didn’t she have an issue with Kenya? I don’t think she’s scared of any of them. How do we know it is Porsha? Honest question. I feel lost.”
A third fan wanted to know if Bailey will follow the new leader of the series.
The person wrote: “What does Porsha have to do with any of this??? No one knows what these Women are talking about! Plz, consider the fact that they put this post up here as a PUBLICITY STUNT!! Nov. Is very close.My only concern is why in the HELL is Cynthia coming bk? To do what??Go along with everything NeNe say or do??? Cynthia annoying AF!! #Petersgone.”
A fourth individual defended Leakes by explaining: “Nene was just at the airport defending Kenya against Kim. Saying that Kim is always trying to make something out of nothing.”
Leakes was not having it and clapped back.
She wrote: “You have no idea what your talking abt. I’ve never used Porsha, and she has never helped me with anything. The questions is, has she used me and if I have helped her? Now crawl back into your corner.”
There will be a lot of shading in the new season.
#EMPIRE: Will there be Murder and Mayhem on Season #4?
Of course, the Lyons are known for stopping at nothing to get what they want -- and offing people is no hindrance at all. It remains to be seen how Season 4 will deal with Lucious' unhinged momma Leah Walker (Leslie Uggams) stabbing Lucious's half-brother Tariq (Morocco Omari) but Ilene Chaiken made it sound very...Empire, reminding us that amnesia-suffering Lucious is the only one who saw the murder, so will he even remember?
However that pans out, rest assured that more characters are going to sleep with the fishes before it's all over. The Lyons, Lee Daniels said, are going to keep doing what they do best. "They're gonna keep killing." So this answer is ummmmmm YEAH!

#HIPHOPNEWS: Report: Kanye West Wants To Reconcile With Jay-Z
Kanye West has reportedly extended an olive branch to JAY-Z, hoping to put an end to their ongoing feud.
According to TMZ, Yeezy has asked Hov for a face-to-face meeting in order to make peace. The rappers have been at odds since West criticized Jay and his wife Beyoncé during onstage rants. At the time, ‘Ye also claimed that their daughters had never played with one another.
Jigga responded to these rants on “Kill Jay Z” off this year’s 4:44, claiming he was “hurt” by them and that they made him wonder what his frequent collaborator was thinking. Later, he elaborated on this during an interview with TIDAL’s Rap Radar podcast.
“He knows it’s a problem because me and him would have been talked about it, we would have been resolved our issue, but he knows he crossed the line,” he said. “I know him. He knows. Not only does he have to know, I know he knows because we never let this much space go between one of our disagreements and we’ve had many. That’s part of who we are. That’s what I like about him. He’s an honest person. He’s open and he’ll say things and he’s wrong a lot of times but we’ll confront it. But that’s not the point. The point is, I was getting to the point where I said, ‘You got hurt by that.’ That’s nothing. You can’t diss somebody saying you got hurt. That’s the softest diss of all time. ‘You got hurt ’cause you did cool by ‘Ye.’ I dissed myself, actually. What are you talking about, you sucka-ass ni**a? That’s the softest shit of all time.”
During the interview, he also explained why speaking about Beyoncé and their children was particularly offensive. “Don’t talk about anyone’s kid onstage,” he explained. “It’s too much energy. You give room for anybody to comment. Our children are already in this place where they are affected by our celebrity. Don’t go doing something that allows people to pit us against each other and talk about my child or even his child. Don’t do that.”
JAY revealed that he was open to speaking with Kanye during the interview, as well. “It requires a real conversation and we’ll have it,” he said. “We’ll have it soon. I’m sure we’ll have it.”
Insiders claim that the feud is not about their financial dispute over TIDAL. This also co-signs what Jigga said about their legal issue. “I don’t care about none of that,” said JAY. “It’s Kanye’s decision [to leave or stay with TIDAL] and has always been his decision. I’ve never held anybody back in my life from doing anything. You can’t name one time I hold people back. From what? I don’t do that. It’s not who I am. It’s nothing about business.”
#SOTWHOUSTON: The QUEEN Janet Jackson bring light to Harvey victims in Houston
Call her the woman who gives love and more!
Houston's waterlogged streets were graced with musical royalty on Friday when megastar Janet Jackson toured the city and made stops around the area's shelters that house thousands of flood victims from Hurricane Harvey.
Janet Jackson took a tour of the city with Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and visited evacuees at one of the city's largest shelters.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner takes Janet Jackson and her brother Randy through the George R. Brown Center, which became a Red Cross shelter in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
Jackson performs Saturday night in Houston, which was a previously scheduled stop on her 56-city tour, "State of the World."
"I'm here to tell you that we are going to do the show in Houston ... but we're going to roll in early because we want to visit some of the shelters," Jackson told her fans on Twitter on Sept. 6. "And not just visit some of the shelters, we also want to do something special for some of the victims," she said, and promised to see the city on Friday.
The singer, who gave birth to a son in January, was mobbed during her visit to the George R. Brown Convention Center, where 1,600 evacuees are staying. Fans eagerly posted Instagram photos of the star, who greeted people with Randy Jackson.
In one widely-shared post she's seen embracing an elderly woman with a smile.
In an Instagram video, Jackson held a toddler in her arms.
Now as for the show……

#FASHIONNEWS: Have you seen the new Balenciaga's Triple S ranges?
Having released a host of new colorways for its Speed Trainer late last month, Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga is now preparing for the release of its latest sneaker — the Triple S model. Described by the brand as a ‘visual composite,’ the shoe takes moulds from three different sports, running, basketball and track & field, all stacked on top of one another to create the unmistakable bulky sole.
The shoe is designed to look deliberately worn-in, as if made from previously worn sneakers, while the Balenciaga logo has been embroidered into a side panel on every model of the shoe. The unisex sneaker comes in four colorways this season and — judging by the hype already surrounding the release — there will likely be more new additions in seasons to come.
The Balenciaga Triple S sneaker is available from Balenciaga retailers and its web store worldwide from September 21, costing $795 USD. via hypebeast
BOXOFFICENEWS: 'It' CLOWNS the Competition with a monster $117 Million Opening!
With a monster, $117 million opening weekend Warner Bros. and New Line's It has delivered a record-breaking opening, breathing a little life back into the slumping domestic box office. The film has claimed the largest September opening, largest Fall opening, the largest opening for an R-rated horror film, not to mention the largest opening weekend for a horror film of any MPAA rating, and tops Open Road's new release Home Again in second place by nearly $110 million. Overall, the film accounted for more than 75% of the combined gross for the weekend's top twelve, and we've only just begun.
With an estimated $117 million, WB and New Line's It, an adaptation of the acclaimed Stephen King novel, claimed the weekend's #1 spot with ease, besting Open Road's new release of Home Again in second place by nearly $110 million, the fifth largest gap between first and second place all-time. The film also dusted the previous opening weekend record for an R-rated horror film, more than doubling Paranormal Activity 3's previous record of $52.5 million. In fact, It is already the fifth highest grossing R-rated horror film all-time after just three days in release.
The horror film's debut was the widest opening ever for an R-rated film and as such delivered the second largest opening for an R-rated movie behind Deadpool's $132.4 million opening last February. Additionally, the previous opening weekend record for September was held by Hotel Transylvania 2 with $48.5 million and the previous Fall opening weekend record was Gravity's $55.7 million, neither of which stood a chance against It and combined don't even come within $10 million.
It should be mentioned that rival estimates put It's opening over $120 million and some closer to $125 million. One obvious reason for the disparity has to do with Hurricane Irma hitting Florida this weekend where ~175 theaters are closed. The state typically represents 5.5-6.5% of the domestic gross each weekend.
It received a "B+" CinemaScore, which, for comparison, is below the "A-" the first two Conjuring films received and ahead of both Annabelle features. The audience was split nearly down the middle, playing 51% female vs. 49% male with 10% of the audience under the age of 18, of which scored the film an "A-". Overall 65% of the audience was over the age of 25.
Internationally, It brought in an estimated $62 million from 46 markets for a $179 million global debut. The overseas numbers include the largest opening weekend for a horror film in the U.K. ($12.3m), Russia ($6.7m), Australia ($5.9m), Brazil ($5.6m), Netherlands ($1.4m) and Poland ($1.15m). Upcoming releases include openings in The next key markets to open include Sweden and Mexico next week followed by France (Sep 20), Argentina (Sep 21), Germany (Sep 28) and Italy (Oct 19).

#SADNESS: Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Wife Mara Lane Suffers Miscarriage
Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his wife Mara Lane have revealed they have suffered a miscarriage of their second child.
The couple announced the devastating news in a lengthy note on Instagram.
“With much sadness, we open our hearts to share that J and I lost our second child, who was baking in the oven. Child was very very much wanted (right now especially by J, so he took the news particularly not so well) and we are still working with coping skills over here… when life throws us curve balls such as these,” Mara wrote. “Depression is a real concern from past abuse as well as alcoholism which he was born with. He has been able to turn any ugliness and hurt in his life into art and is the strongest person I know. I do not know anyone who has been through what he has been through and reached his level of successes. It does seem though that every time we seem to be making so much progress… sometimes it’s like two steps forward, one step back.”
Reports have emerged that Jonathan, who has battled alcoholism, was intoxicated at the airport recently. Mara bravely spoke about those photos in her note to fans.
“Thank you family and friends and all of you lovely kind beautiful people who send us good energy and thoughts and support. It is so appreciated. I have so much love for you.
To some others, my husband is an Irishman who battles alcoholism and depression and drank between jobs to try to cope with the sadness of this news. I am trying to and still learning/adjusting to living with the public, like one would as a concerned mother-in-law. I feel that whomever took photos of my husband was slightly in the wrong and was concerned for the wrong reasons but … it’s ok. It’s ok. Maybe you have/had a family to feed and need/needed money? I don’t know. We forgive you. He is safe and with his sober living companion and bodyguard to get into a detox closer to home since he was denied hospital help twice in Ireland because of an already two month wait period,” Mara continued.
Mara and Jonathan have a son named Wolf, who was born earlier in the year.
Our thoughts are with Mara and Jonathan during this difficult time.

Chicago stand up! Common scooped his first Emmy Award for his song, “Letter to the Free,” from Ava DuVernay‘s documentary film, 13th.
Now that he’s won an Emmy, Common is officially one step away from an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony).
The “Glory” rapper scooped an Oscar in 2015 (Selma), he already has three Grammy Awards, and now he has an Emmy. C’mon Tony Award!
The beloved rapper and actor took to social media to express his gratitude after winning his Emmy.
Although I’m honored and excited beyond belief for this award, my motivation for doing this song was from the heart like it always is. This award is for all the incarcerated people in the prison system and for justice. In the words of the late great Phife, “I’ll never let a statue tell me how nice I am…”. We have more work to do and this is only the beginning. So please don’t think for 1 second that my passion for justice stops here. Thank You @televisionacad @netflix @ava @karriemriggins1 @robertglasper @bilalmusic #Elena #Roy #Vernis and everyone involved with this project. #ImagineJustice
13th also won Emmys for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, Writing for Nonfiction Programs and Outstanding Motion Design.
