The Daily Buzz For Dec 1 ☕📰☕


Zendaya covers INSTYLE Magazine
Award-winning actress, singer and fashionista—Zendaya— is giving me #DonnaSummer realness for the January cover of InStyle Magazine. Inside she opens up about fame and accepting the responsibility of being a role model.
“I’ve had the luxury of watching people do this before me, and I realize that [being a role model] is actually a huge part of the job,” she says. “You sign up for that. You’re being watched. You can choose to accept that and appreciate it, or you can choose not to. That’s 100 percent your choice. I choose to acknowledge it.”

The 21-year-old star of the upcoming P.T. Barnum film, “The Greatest Showman” also gives her two cents about the latest cases of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior in Hollywood.

“The bravery of the women who came forward is a huge step toward making sure it’s safer for me and other young women who are just coming up,” she says.  “I’m at that prime age right now. Twenty-one. Starting off. That’s when people take advantage and abuse their power and do terrible shit. I think it’s definitely a sisterhood.”

Check out more photos of Zendaya below:

#RHoA: Is NeNe and Porsha at WAR again, or NOT?
Lordt! They’re at it AGAIN! NeNe VS Porsha in this season of RHOA.  But why these 2 seems to be at odds end? What really seemed to start it all was when NeNe appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in April and insinuated that Porsha should no longer be on RHOA. "Before that, I really didn't have any feelings because we hadn't spoken in two years, but when I watched the episode from everybody sending it to me, I just thought she was vicious," Porsha said during a recent appearance on WWHL. "I thought what she was saying was very, just vicious and trying to just damage my character that night."

When Porsha confronted NeNe about this in the Season 10 premiere of RHOA, she denied it, which she also did on WWHL earlier this month. Since then, NeNe and Porsha haven't really resolved their issues. In fact, in the most recent episode of RHOA, NeNe said that she had no plans to hash things out with Porsha anytime soon. Or, as NeNe put it, Porsha is on her "I don't give a f*** list right now," especially with everything else going on with her husband Gregg Leakes' health.
And Porsha actually agrees with NeNe that she and all of the RHOA ladies definitely have more important things to worry about in life than any drama among the ladies. "I was sad to see that and am definitely praying for him, even in the future. That's difficult to deal with. And you definitely don't want to deal with outside drama on top of that, so hopefully she could just clear everything out. Definitely don't be worrying about me, girl. Worry about your husband," Porsha recently told The Daily Dish. "I think that's what we all should be doing. That's what I'm doing. I'm worrying about me and my family and it helps you not be petty in other situations because you don't even want them to build."

Believe it or not, we haven't even seen the worst of NeNe and Porsha's drama yet. When asked if, judging by this season's trailer, things will go from bad to worse between her and NeNe, Porsha agreed, especially during the group's upcoming trip to San Francisco. "That's where it hits the fan, and it gets really bad in San Francisco," Porsha teased.

But that doesn't mean we should consider this friendship over, either. "I think once she cools down — as you'll see through the season, I try to give her space to kind of maneuver and just be me — that we could fall back into that friendship because I have loved her, I know that she has loved me in the past. We called each other big sister, little sister," Porsha shared with The Daily Dish. "I have come back this season with a very open heart. When you've been hurt by a friend or have a situation where you have to lose someone who was really close to you, you want to value the relationships. You don't want to throw anybody away. I mean, I don't want to cross her out like that because I like her, and I care for her. So all I could do is just have hope that we can get back to that place one day because she is super fun."

Well, let's hope these Georgia Peaches can work things out, because they are just too fierce and fabulous when they're together.

Catch up with Porsha, NeNe, and the rest of the ATL crew in Sunday night's all-new episode at 8/7c.


#EMPIRE: Recap: Jamal Lyon Channels Old School Lucious And Beats The Breaks Off His Boyfriend
Jamal delivers major fade after getting devastating news. Empire is back, yay! The Lyons are working hard, trying to get Bella back. Lucious steps up and pays Anika a visit. Bella isn’t home, she’s with her parents in that moment. Anika isn’t really trying to let Lucious in, but you know he does what he wants so he enters anyway. Lucious says he remembers when she would do anything to make Bella the sole heir to the Lyon throne. There’s a tone there, but Anika plays coy and asks what he’s insinuating. What he’s insinuating is that Anika made Rhonda have a miscarriage.

Problem is, they don’t technically have any proof, especially since Rhonda is dead. The latter was an accident, but also Anika’s fault.
Lucious wants Anika to sign joint custody agreement. If she agrees, he’ll make Bella co-heir to Empire with his sons. Anika says she’ll agree to family visits. That seems to be enough for him to settle on for now, but earlier in the episode we learn that the Lyons filed an appeal in the ruling so this is going to get messy all over again.

Warren tries to convince Jamal to have a threesome and Jamal declines at first, but eventually half-heartedly agrees. Warren recruits a tender young thang to make it happen, but Jamal changes his mind again. He says he doesn’t want to do it and that he’s only going along with it because he loves Warren. Warren, realizing he loves Jamal too, sends the guy home.

And Andre’s girlfriend, Pamela the cop, is involved in some drama. She shot and killed someone on the job. The story made the news, but it took a minute for Dre to get in touch with her. When he finally got to see her, he reveals that thinking she was dead made him see that he loved her. She then reveals that she planted a gun on the person she shot. Basically, her shooting that person was excessive so she did what she needed to (aka lie) clear her name.
She tells Dre that she hopes her confiding this info to him will help him begin to trust her.

Riiiiight…this has Dubois Clan written all over it. Issa trap! Sadly, Dre is probably going to fall right into it.
Finally, the episode ends with the Lyon Clan headed to one of the negotiated family visits with Bella. At the same time and place, we see Warren telling Diana that he fell in love with Jamal. She’s disappointed, but not surprised and unbothered because she says Anika is going to help her destroy the Lyon boys.

And then, we see the Lyons walking up to the table because Diana set this all up. Imagine Jamal’s surprise when he sees Warren sitting with her. Diana wastes no time telling them that Warren is her nephew and that he was supposed to take pics of Jamal during the threesome.Warren is copping pleas, trying to convince Jamal that he was for real, and then Jamal blacks out and beats the breaks off Warren. Of course, people nearby pull out their cellphones to record.

That wasn’t planned, but it’s good material for Diana to work with.
We’ll be back next week as this continues dragging on.


#NewMusic: Mya – Ready, Part II (Bedroom Mix)
Veteran r&b singer Mya draws influence from the timeless R. Kelly hit “It Seems Like You’re Ready” for her new song “Ready, Part II” (Bedroom Mix).
The sensual jam is actually a remix of her current single “Ready For Whatever”, which touches on some current production and vocal stylings. However, the remix is all about being slowed down for the bedroom.

LISTEN HERE

The release of the new music comes as a quick turnaround, after Mya independently released her album “Smoove Jones” just last year in 2016. The project was nominated for a Grammy Award as well.
Stay tuned as Mya works towards the release of her next album.


#HIPHOPNEWS: New Music Releases for December 2017
While 2018 may be coming to a close and Christmas is right around the corner, that doesn't mean the hip-hop releases are slowing down. December will bring a number of new projects from some of the genre's biggest stars, including both up-and-comers and veterans.

On Dec. 1, rap vet Z-Ro makes his return to rap after a short retirement with the release of Codeine. The month will also see the return of Eminem and N.E.R.D. Marshall Mathers and N.E.R.D's Pharrell, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley are dropping their first albums in four and seven years, respectively. Boosie Badazz will also drop his long-awaited BooPac album on Dec. 15, while G-Eazy will release his When It's Dark Out follow-up on the same date.

The end of December will also bring the long-awaited release of Capital Steez's posthumous debut studio album, King Capital. The founder of the Brooklyn-based collective Pro Era sadly took his life in 2012. The project was years in the making and received a release date earlier this year when Joey Bada$$ announced the date during the third annual STEEZ Day Festival.

The final month of the year will also include the collaborative mixtape Bloodas from Tee Grizzley and Lil Durk, as well as Pell's EP, girasoul.

Make sure you cops one of these releases!


Actor Jim Nabors, TV's Gomer Pyle, dies at 87
Jim Nabors, the actor best known for playing TV's Gomer Pyle, died at his home in Honolulu on Thursday. He was 87.

Nabors' husband, Stan Cadwallader, confirmed his death to The Associated Press. "Everybody knows he was a wonderful man," he said. "And that's all we can say about him. He's going to be dearly missed." Nabors became famous in the 1960s on The Andy Griffith Show, and then as the star of the successful spinoff Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. He also recorded 28 albums, performed often in Las Vegas, and appeared in the films The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Stroker Ace. Cadwallader was Nabors' longtime partner, and they married in 2013.

R.I.P Gomer!


#AGAIN! Russell Simmons Steps Down From Companies Following Sexual Assault Allegation
Russell Simmons is stepping down from his companies after being accused of sexual assault by writer Jenny Lumet. In a guest column in the Hollywood Reporter, Lumet accuses the Def Jam co-founder of forcing her to have sex in 1991. In a statement, Simmons said he had a different recollection of their encounter, but said Lumet’s “feelings of fear and intimidation are real.” He apologized to Lumet, who is the daughter of director Sidney Lumet and the screenwriter behind “Rachel Getting Married.”

“There is so much guilt, and so much shame,” Lumet wrote in her column. “There is an excruciating internal reckoning. As a woman of color, I cannot express how wrenching it is to write this about a successful man of color. Again, shame about who I was years ago, choices made years ago. In this very moment, I feel a pang to protect your daughters. I don’t think you are inclined to protect mine.”
For his part, Simmons said, “While I have never been violent, I have been thoughtless and insensitive in some of my relationships over many decades and I sincerely and humbly apologize.”

In addition to his music work, Simmons is a successful film and television producer and the founder of such clothing fashion lines as Phat Farm and Tantris. This isn’t the first time he has been accused of harassment or assault. Earlier this month, model Keri Claussen Khalighi accused Simmons of forcing her to have sex. She said the businessman worked in conjunction with director Brett Ratner to lure her to his apartment. Another woman, Tanya Reid, also accused Simmons of pressuring her to perform oral sex on Ratner. Both men deny the allegations.
Simmons did say the culture is going through “a time of great transition,” and said he did not want to be a distraction from the work of his companies. He also plans to convert a studio he founded for yogic science into a not-for-profit center of learning and healing.

“The companies will now be run by a new and diverse generation of extraordinary executives who are moving the culture and consciousness forward,” said Simmons, adding, “As for me, I will step aside and commit myself to continuing my personal growth, spiritual learning, and, above all, to listening.”

Simmons is the latest high profile figure to become engulfed in a sexual harassment or assault scandal. In recent weeks, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, and John Lasseter have all been dogged by claims of sexual misdeeds or crimes.


The World Aids Day 2017 theme is ‘Right to health’ – what it’s all about?
Friday 1 December is World Aids Day 2017. This year’s campaign promotes the theme, ‘Right to health’. The World Health Organization (WHO) will highlight the need for all 36.7 million people living with the condition, to reach the goal of universal health coverage by 2030. HIV is a condition which targets the immune system and weakens people’s defense systems against infections and some types of cancer. The virus destroys and impairs the function of immune cells, thus gradually making infected individuals become immunodeficient. According to WHO, 54% of adults and 43% of children living with HIV are currently receiving lifelong antiretroviral therapy (ART). More is needed to be done to raise awareness of the condition, however more positively, Global ART coverage for pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV is high at 76% .

In 2000, just 685 000 people living with HIV had access to antiretroviral therapy. However, by June 2017, around 20.9 million people had access to the life-saving medicines. The African region also accounts for almost two thirds of the global total of new HIV infections with 25.6 million people living with HIV in 2016. Under the slogan ‘Everybody counts’, the World Health Organization would like people with the condition to be able to gain access to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines. People around the world are being asked to join the fight to end the isolation and negative stigma surrounding HIV, and help to stop its transmission. The aim is detecting HIV early – this is beneficial so that the individual can gain access to specialist treatments early. How WHO want to achieve universal health coverage: Leave no one behind HIV, tuberculosis and hepatitis services are integrated High-quality services are available for those with HIV People living with HIV have access to affordable care The HIV response is robust and leads to stronger health systems In the UK alone there are over 100,000 people living with HIV and around a quarter of them don’t know they’re HIV positive.

Knowing whether you’re HIV positive is essential so that you can access specialist services and treatment. Effective HIV therapy is vital for the well-being of the person affected and helps to prevent them from passing the virus onto others.

#MOVIENEWS: ‘Shaft’ Sequel Gets 2019 Release Date
Warner Bros. has set its “Shaft” sequel for June 14, 2019, and given its Sarah Paulson-Ansel Elgort drama “The Goldfinch” an Oct. 11, 2019, opening.
“Shaft” stars Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie T. Usher as father and son along with Alexandra Shipp. Tim Story is directing from a script by Kenya Barris and Alex Barnow. Jackson is reprising the role he played in the 2000 “Shaft” reboot of the original 1971 blaxploitation film, starring Richard Roundtree.

Usher portrays an FBI agent and a cyber expert, and the partnership with his father is an uneasy collision of old school meets new school. Producers are John Davis and Barris. New Line will have North American rights and Netflix will have international rights.


LeBron James Cracks Jokes After 1st Ejection Of His NBA Career
Since LeBron James entered the NBA in 2003, he has never been ejected from a game. Y'all know he barely even gets a tech.  And plenty of folks say it's becaus eof favortism.

But that all changed. Referee Kane Fitzgerald ejected King James during the match up between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lebron’s former team, the Miami Heat. Literally 11 minutes after he was ejeced, Bron hopped on Instagram. Ha! First, he liked a post by injured NY Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The NFLer posted a pic of King James with the caption, “Dreams unfolding.”

Shortly after liking Odell’s post, Bron made his own Instagram post to address his ejection. And what does he do? He cracks a joke!
By the way, the Cavs still defeated the Heat, 108-97.

When the media caught up with King James, he told ESPN, “I said what I had to say and then I moved on, but (Fitzgerald) decided I should get (ejected). It is what it is. We got the win, and that’s what’s most important.”

He's the king for a reason.  There's that.

The film also stars Billy Brown, Neal McDonough and Xander Berkeley along with film veterans Margaret Avery and Danny Glover.

#HIPHOPNEWS: Q-Tip Slams Grammys for Snubbing A Tribe Called Quest
Q-Tip is MAD AS HELL and putting the Grammys on blast.

Upon learning that A Tribe Called Quest’s final album We Got It from Here… Thank You 4 Your Service was omitted from the 2018 nominations, Q-Tip took to social media to address the snub.

“Y’all Grammy motherfuckers, fuck y’all,” he said. “Yesterday we was on y’all stage. Y’all fucking busted y’all ass to try to get us out there to perform. You think a ni**a wanted to go out there and perform after I lost my man? We closed y’all show and we don’t get no fucking nominations? The last Tribe album? My man is gone.”
Despite his displeasure, Tip acknowledged the other rap nominees. “Respect to everybody who’s nominated and all that, but whatever,” he said. “I’m speaking for mine. I’m sick of you fucking Grammy ni**as, man.”

Later, he denounced the Grammys as “corny” and promoted LL Cool J’s upcoming 2017 Kennedy Center induction, where James Todd Smith will become the first rapper inducted in the event’s 40-year history. “Y’all come see what the fuck we doing over there,” he said. “Fuck y’all Grammy ni**as.”

Throughout the clips, Q-Tip lamented the death of fellow Tribe member Phife Dawg, who passed away last year at the age of 45.

Vince Staples, whose Big Fish Theory was bypassed for nominations as well, also tweeted about Music’s Biggest Night. “Dont talk to me about the grammys,” he wrote. “If you wanted it nominated you should’ve listened to it. Now I have other things to attend to, enjoy your day. We are all entirely too sensitive about trophies. Y’all should’ve played football.”

While Tribe and Staples were among the snubs, this year’s Grammys were celebrated for their diversity. The major categories were dominated by minorities and no white male artists were nominated in the Album of the Year category for the first time in 19 years.


#SHOCK! Matt Lauer Fired By NBC Amid Sexual Misconduct Allegations
NBC has fired longtime “Today” host Matt Lauer following allegations of workplace misconduct, the network announced on Wednesday.
“We are devastated,” “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie said in an emotional statement. “All we can say is we are heartbroken.”
Guthrie said that NBC News chairman Andy Lack informed employees early Wednesday about the decision after having received a complaint about Lauer’s behavior on Monday night. She read Lack’s note on-air, noting that while the network says it had never received a complaint about Lauer before, it has “reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.”
Both Guthrie and co-host Hoda Kotb appeared shaken by the news.

“We are grappling with a dilemma that so many people have faced these weeks,” Guthrie said. “How do you reconcile your love for someone with the recognition that they have behaved badly? And I don’t know the answer to that.”

“This is a very tough morning for both of us,” Kotb said. “I’ve known Matt for 15 years and I’ve loved him as a friend and a colleague, and just like you were saying, Savannah, it’s hard to reconcile what we are hearing with the man who we know, who walks in this building every, single day.”

President Donald Trump, who has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct, quickly reacted:
Lauer’s departure follows a torrent of sexual harassment and assault allegations against prominent male media figures, including Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, veteran  broadcaster Charlie Rose, and prominent political journalist Mark Halperin. The revelations have resulted in broad action, with Weinstein fired from his namesake firm and booted out of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Rose being fired by CBS and PBS. NBC fired Halperin, who was a frequent guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Jennifer Hudson’s Ex-Fiance David Otunga Granted Primary Custody of Their Son David Jr.
Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga’s breakup is taking another difficult turn. The Oscar winner’s ex-fiancé has been granted primary custody over the former couple’s 8-year-old son, David Jr., TMZ reports.
According to the news site, the “Spotlight” singer, 36, and Otunga, 37, have reached a temporary agreement in their split. The contract gives the former wrestler custody over the exes’ son for the majority of the time as Hudson is currently residing in London while filming The Voice UK and frequently travels to Los Angeles for The Voice.

As previously reported, Hudson and Otunga got engaged in 2008 after a few months of dating and welcomed David Jr. in 2009. The pair parted ways in late November after nearly 10 years together. “They have been in the process of ending their relationship for a number of months,” a rep for the American Idol alum told Us Weekly on Thursday, November 16. “Jennifer requested and received a protective order against her ex-fiancé. Jennifer’s actions are solely taken in the best interest of their son.”
In legal documents obtained by Us Weekly, the Dreamgirls actress alleged that Otunga has exhibited “increasingly aggressive, threatening and harassing behavior” toward her. She also claimed that Otunga had been violent with her in the presence of their son.

Otunga’s lawyer, Tracy M. Rizzo, responded to the claims in a statement to Us: “David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now. However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent graded residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child’s primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effect to gain unfair advantage in the custody dispute.”

“As a result of Mr. Otunga’s career in the WWE. Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim.” Rizzo continued. “Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son, and it is unfortunate, especially in today’s climate, that she would feel the need to make these false allegations against him. Mr. Otunga looks forward to his day in court and in being awarded the residential care of the parties’ only child.”

Hudson returned to The Voice on Monday, November 20, for the show’s live taping. The “Remember Me” songstress seemed to be in good spirits as she cheered on her team and joked with the judges.


#SportsReport: Eli Manning Benched by The New York Giants!
The offensive line has been horrible, the receiving corps has been decimated and the play-calling has been second-guessed. And with that, the New York Giants have decided a quarterback change is in order after the team fell to 2-9 with a lackluster 20-10 loss to Washington on Thanksgiving night.

Eli Manning has been benched after starting every game since the middle of his rookie season 13 years ago. The Giants will go with Geno Smith, who washed out with the New York Jets after being taken in the second round of the 2013 draft out of West Virginia.
Coach Ben McAdoo says he gave the 36-year-old Manning the option of starting to keep his streak of 210 consecutive starts alive, but the two-time Super Bowl MVP didn't want any part of that. Only Brett Favre has started more consecutive games among NFL quarterbacks in league history.

Playing with a weak offensive line and a thin group of receivers, Manning has still managed to complete about 63 percent of his passes and throw just seven interceptions. He is the team record-holder in almost every single-season and career record among Giants signal-callers.


The NAACP Image Awards Nominees Announced
The nominations for the 49th NAACP Image Awards were announced this week and all I can say is Monday, January 15 is going to be lit! Sooooo many of my favorite TV shows like “Queen Sugar,” “Insecure” and “Atlanta” were nominated this year along with many of my favorite movies like “Marshall,” “Girls Trip,” and “Get Out.”

According to the press release, Netflix and OWN lead the nominations in the television categories with 23 nominations and 17 nominations, respectively. Mary J. Blige and Jay Z have five nominations, followed by Bruno Mars, Issa Rae, Kendrick Lamar and SZA with 4 nods and Charlie Wilson, Idris Elba and Ledisi with three nominations.

“The NAACP Image Awards is the ultimate platform for artists and individuals of color who advocate for social justice to share their voices with millions, and to be recognized and celebrated,” stated Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP. “At a moment where there seems to be one tragic event after another in America, the NAACP Image Awards continues to be a beacon of light to the diversity reflected in television, music, film and literature that brings everyone together.”

The two-hour LIVE TV special will air on TV One on the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday (Monday, January 15) at 9 p.m. with a one-hour Live Red Carpet Pre-Show beginning at 8 p.m. It is hosted once again by “Black-ish” star and nominee Anthony Anderson.
