Peter Lindbergh and Robbie Spencer capture the magnificent figure that is Solange Knowles. A series of images of the artist showcases both the newest graduate fashion talent and independent designers renowned for their uncompromising aesthetic, thus mirroring Knowles’ bold influence and power. Her breakthrough album A Seat at the Table, has seen Knowles empower a generation of young people through her reflections on modern black identity. Lynette Nylander’s interview explores the soul-searching creation of Knowles’ art. “I made this record to find some sort of reconciliation with myself and how I acted...” she tells Nylander. “It’s been really interesting trying to figure out how to have that conversation with the people who love this record because I had to do this album to try to make myself a better human. It’s been so wonderful and humbling when you start at the root of that and then see how it can grow.”

#RHoA: Phaedra Parks Is Begging To Get Back On 'RHOA'
And here's how producers allegedly responded...
It's hard out there for former reality stars. Once that gig vanishes, what are you going to do, especially when you have been outed as liar like Phaedra Parks.
As we all know, after Ms. Parks was caught lying about Kandi Burruss' lesbian sex dungeon, she got the boot from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Now, it looks like she is begging to return to the show.
According to TheJasmineBrand.com, Phaedra is struggling financially and is forced to sell one of her homes for income. She is missing that Real Housewives of Atlanta cash, "An insider claims that Phaedra has touched base with RHOA producers in hopes of her returning to the show in some capacity." The site also reports, "She has been in constant contact with producers asking to make a cameo or be part of the series in some capacity. They have repeatedly declined her offers because she no longer has an organic relationship with any of the season 10 cast members." Organic relationship? No one on reality shows have organic relationships!
Allegedly, Phaedra even offered to share more personal details about her life but the producers still weren't convinced to bring her back.
All of that said, don't be shocked if Phaedra pops up next season. These reality shows are about money and ratings, not "organic relationships."

#EMPIRE: Queen Taraji P Henson is Stunning on the Cover of Marie Claire Magazine!
The October Marie Claire cover woman makes it clear in her interview with the fashion magazine: she will never trash another woman.
The Empire star, 47, tells the mag: 'How can we get ahead if we’re feuding and hating on each other all the time? I made a pact years ago that I would never hate on another female, ever, especially in this industry.'
Taraji rocks dresses by Diane von Furstenberg for the photo spread where she shows off her recently-cropped 'do.
The Golden Globe winner also drops wisdom for girls who aspire to have a career like hers: 'I love black people. I love telling stories. I want these little girls to study me like I studied Meryl and Bette Davis and Carol Burnett.
'I want them to study my work, because I put a lot of work in, a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.'
Taraji has managed to keep her personal life mostly private, though in 2015 she was linked to NFL player Kelvin Hayden.
On dating, she reveals: 'I would love to [be in a relationship], but he has to see how I move and deal with it, because I don’t have time to explain. I’ve got work to do.'
In January she will take the silver screen as an assassin playing the lead role in Proud Mary, but even with major career accomplishments, she has ways she keeps herself humble.
She credits doing her own laundry with keeping her down to earth, saying: 'That keeps me normal. That keeps me feeling like, Yeah, I’m not too Hollywood.'
Fans can pick up a copy of Marie Claire's October issue on September 19.

#HIPHOPNEWS: Nicki Minaj Says Her New Album Is ‘So Fu**in’ Good’
Nicki Minaj is excited about her first album in three years and she’s letting her fans know all about it. Over the weekend, the Young Money queen spoke with supporters about what they can expect from the forthcoming LP, her first official release since 2014’s The Pinkprint.
“I love you and I adore you,” she told her Barbz while leaving the Philipp Plein show during New York Fashion Week. “Oh, the album. Oh my God! The album is so fuckin’ good!”
This is the latest update on Minaj’s upcoming fourth studio album. In June, she also provided some insight into the creative process. “That’s next on my bucket list,” she said, “to deliver my fourth album and make sure that it’s a classic hip-hop album that people will never forget.”
At the time, she also explained why it will be her greatest effort to date. “I know it’s going to be my best body of work and I always love to be in real time, see my fans reacting to something,” she added. “That’s what I’m looking forward to now. Obviously, I’m not telling them when my album is coming out, but I know that it’s gonna be amazing because I want to thank the people who’ve rocked with me for all of these years.”
Back in March of 2016, when she was still dating Meek Mill, she also discussed the new album’s potential joy. “I needed time to hear myself think again because where I left off with The Pinkprint was a little bit emotionally unstable,” she said. “Now, I want my happiness to be reflected in the new stuff.”
Since then, the couple broke up and she’s been in the lab with various artists, including Quavo. The pair even filmed a music video for the yet-to-be-revealed collaboration.
Despite the many updates, Nicki has yet to reveal a timetable for her fourth album’s release.
Janet Jackson Was ‘Verbally Abused’ by Ex, Says Brother Randy
Janet Jackson suffered verbal abuse in her relationship with estranged husband Wissam Al Mana, according to the pop icon’s brother, Randy Jackson.
In an interview with People, Janet’s youngest brother says the abuse included name calling and that his sister felt like a “prisoner” in her home. “It was quite an abusive situation,” he said. “It came on later in the relationship, verbal abuse and being [made to feel like] a prisoner in her own home. No pregnant woman needs to go through being called a bitch everyday. There were things like that. That’s what she went through.”
This is not about “anger or vengeance,” according to Randy. Instead, he claims that he just wants to bring these issues to light. “We don’t like to put our business out there but sometimes transparency helps you,” he said. “The devil thrives in darkness. I’m just here supporting her through this time.”
Even while Janet has launched her “State of the World Tour,” the abuse “is still going on,” according to Randy. “She has custody and he of course allowed her to bring the baby on tour, but it’s constant harassment,” he said. “This tour almost didn’t happen, but by the grace of God we’re here and we’re very prayerful.”
Through his attorney, Al Mana offered a statement on these accusations. “Mr. Al Mana is not going to dignify these particular and deeply hurtful allegations with a response,” reads the statement. “The breakdown of his marriage to Janet Jackson is a cause of great sadness to Mr. Al Mana, and it is the wellbeing and privacy of their son, Eissa, that remains his sole focus.”
Jackson and Al Mana split in April, just three months after Janet gave birth to their only son, Eissa. Now, she is on the “State of the World Tour,” which is set to run through Dec. 17 in Atlanta.

ESPN Issues Craven Apology For Jemele Hill's Accurate Descriptions Of Donald Trump
ESPN SportsCenter host Jemele Hill called Donald Trump a bigot and white supremacist on Twitter Monday night, and the backlash to these pretty standard and well-founded opinions compelled the network to give Hill a talking-to and to release a statement.
An ESPN spokesperson wouldn’t elaborate on whether Hill faced any discipline beyond a conversation with her bosses. These were some of Hill’s tweets. They seem pretty accurate and not at all inappropriate.
Indeed, in the perpetual maelstrom that is the Trump news cycle, it feels like his thoughts on the Central Park Five aren’t discussed enough. Not only did he buy full-page newspaper ads calling for the death penalty to be given to five black and Latino boys who were falsely accused of raping a white woman, but when he was asked about it in 2016, he stood by his initial call for murdering the innocent:
“They admitted they were guilty,” he said in a statement to CNN this month. “The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous.”
Hill’s remarks spurred dog-whistling Wonder Twins Clay Travis and Britt McHenry to action:
And so the pile-on began, led by cynical hucksters and backed by the same disingenuous internet browbeating tactics that have served the right for years in campaigns against studiously apolitical corporations that want nothing more than for no one to be angry at them, whether or not what anyone claims to be angry about makes any sense. (How is it politicizing sports to describe a man who supported neo-Nazi protesters in a nationally televised press conference as a white supremacist?) It is a shame and a wonder that ESPN thinks it’s possible to appease people who don’t even want to be appeased.
All this said, here’s what happened: In the face of strident tweeting from the guy who lost a fight to an airline and a former employee best known for dressing down a service worker, ESPN felt that it had to grovel before the racist uncle demographic so as to not give off the impression that it leans left, even though the country singer fired for comparing Barack Obama to Hitler just reclaimed his ESPN gig wherein he yell-sings about being prepared for football, and even though “[Donald Trump] has empowered white supremacists” is not a partisan statement. This is probably a good time for any ESPNers who are just saying that they’re simply concerned with securing the existence of their people and a future for white children to speak up about any show ideas they have in mind.
Tinashe Responds To Getting Turned Away From A NYFW Show and She also Has A New Look!
Nobody wants to be in this position....all dressed up but gotta stunt outside the show.
After taking over Vogue's social media account and rolling to Jeremy Scott's show as well as Alexander Wang's this weekend, Tinashe and her new blonde coif weren't necessarily welcomed with open arms everywhere else.
The "Night Ride" singer pulled up at the Opening Ceremony show (not Rihanna's Fenty x Puma show like reported elsewhere), went in without her friends, then promptly got escorted out.
Bloop. A Fashion Week goer live tweeted the incident:
But before you think she was shaded into oblivion, she took to her page to explain saying it was all over safety concerns:
Interestingly, she posted a cropped new blonde 'do before this allegedly went down, so we guess the new 'do is just good wiggery since she's back to her longer locks
She posed it up with Alexander wang, Joan Smalls and Bella Hadid at Wang's show too:
Fun times.
