‘Avengers’ Time Travel Theory Could Explain The Future Of The Franchise

A “Doc” who can travel through time — sound familiar? Will the “Avengers” series end for good, or will it take a new form after “Infinity Wars” and the as-of-yet unnamed fourth film?

Marvel heads have hinted that even revealing the title of the fourth “Avengers” film would be a spoiler, leading some to believe that we will one day be getting a new Avengers team altogether.

On Friday, “Nerdist News” host Jessica Chobot laid out why a “Back To The Future” -esque time travel plot could create a new group of Avengers while connecting the remaining unconnected dots of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

#RHoA: Kenya Moore is planning to have Wedding #2 This time Stateside!

Kenya Moore Planning Another 2018 Wedding To Marc Daly; Says Cynthia Bailey Will Be Her Bridesmaid!

Given the incessant side-eyeing Kenya Moore’s received over her “secret” nuptials to restauranteur Marc Daly, the Real Housewives Of Atlanta star thinks she has something to prove. And apparently, prove it she will – in a second wedding to Marc slated for 2018! Yup. Kenya will be technically renewing her vows only one year into the marriage. It’s a new Housewives record, people! (And we all know how well multiple weddings/vow renewals go for our beloved Bravolebrities. See: Shannon Beador.)

Kenya shares her appreciation for her phantom husband during the tough time of her grandmother’s passing. She reflects, “It was just a few weeks since Marc actually met my grandmother in Detroit and she smiled so big when she met him. I knew she was happy that I finally had someone to share my life with.”

Kenya admits that her grandmother’s passing was expected, but obviously painful. She remembers, “Once my grandmother’s Alzheimer’s condition worsened, I was always nervous to get calls from my Aunt Lisa who is her daughter that I was raised with. I was with Marc when I got the phone call. I always measured the sound of her ‘hello’ first. When she called that day I knew it was ‘the call.'”

Despite only seeing him on the weekends, Kenya claims that Marc was her rock during her time of grieving. “I was so grateful to be with him in that moment. It was only two months into our marriage to deal with something so devastating but he was supportive, loving, and kind. Most of all he was there in every way he could be.”

Turning her attention to Cynthia Bailey next, Kenya says she understands why her friend was upset to not be at her wedding. “Cynthia has every right to be upset,” she shares, “I feel badly for her being one of my best friends and for the other people in my life that are so close to me that could not witness my wedding day. Imagine how my own father feels? He didn’t get to walk his first daughter down the aisle I never want to hurt anyone who cares about me.”

So – how does one solve the problem of everyone resenting your secret wedding? Throw ANOTHER wedding, of course! Kenya announces, “We will be planning a big wedding in the summer of 2018 so all of our closest friends can celebrate with us and Miss Bailey will definitely be Mrs. Daly’s bridesmaid.” Mmm hmm. I’ll just be sipping my tea over here, waiting on that 2018 wedding…

Since she knows what it’s like to be questioned about her relationships, Kenya offers Sheree Whitfield words of support regarding her prison boyfriend. She notes in her blog, “I know how it feels to initially keep something special private because miserable and judgmental people really don’t want to see you happy. She’s in love with a convicted man who is still incarcerated. I’m certain she was afraid of their negative opinions. But clearly, Sheree is in love and no longer concerned about what people think. Good for her! If she’s happy, I’m happy.

#EMPIRE SEASON 4 RECAP: Hakeem Gets Bella Back

Anika bails on the ball in an attempt to leave the city with Bella, but Hakeem tracks her down before she can make a clean getaway. Thanks to Warren, Hakeem has evidence that Anika and Diana knew where Bella was when she was supposed to be missing. That makes Anika an accessory to a kidnapping. Either Anika can give Hakeem custody of Bella or go back to jail.

Anika begins to cry, begging Hakeem not to take her daughter, and Hakeem swears that he would never deny Anika access to Bella. All he wants is for his baby mama to stop using their daughter as a pawn to get to him and his family. As long as Anika plays nice, nobody will know what she did.

Angelo tracks down Warren at a motel, and he's packing heat. Jamal arrives, but Angelo isn't going to let these two have a happy ending, and I don't mean the dirty kind. Angelo shoots Warren, Jamal grabs Angelo in an attempt to disarm him and the two struggle. Angelo gets shot in the stomach. Jamal checks on Warren who took a hit to the shoulder and then calls 911, He says there's been a shooting, and he thinks someone is dead.

Oh, and Becky's pregnant!

#PRAYERSFORAMIRACLE: Eric Garner’s Daughter Erica, Is In A Coma after a heart attack.

Erica Garner, the oldest daughter of Eric Garner and an activist against police brutality, was in a medically induced coma Monday after a heart attack, the New York Daily News reported.

An asthma attack prompted the heart attack, Garner’s mother told the outlet. The 27-year-old mother of two remains on life support.

“Right now, the family is just praying and asking for everyone to keep her in their prayers,” Esaw Snipes, her mother, told The New York Times.

A message sent Christmas morning from Garner’s Twitter account said her family asks “that you take this holiday to enjoy your loved ones and for self care.”

Eric Garner died in 2014 after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. Video of his arrest showed him repeatedly screaming, “I can’t breathe!” The officer, Daniel Pantaleo, was not indicted, a decision that sparked nationwide protests.

Since her father’s death, Erica Garner has been an outspoken advocate, writing about her fight against police brutality, her decision to back Bernie Sanders in the 2016 election, and the effort to combat institutionalized racism.

“It is important for us to show the world we can stand together as one people,” she wrote in a 2015 blog post for HuffPost. “It’s even more important for our youth to see us standing together and fighting for what what is right. It shows them that they can push back against a corrupt system without being a so-called ‘thug.’ ... Justice means equity to us.”

Queen Sugar’s Kofi Soriboe For Bleu Magazine has some HOT Photos!

Check out new images of “Queen Sugar” star Kofi Soriboe for BLEU Magazine. Inside, the “Girls Trip” actor and former model opens up about being a feminist and honoring his mother—Koshi Mills. Soriboe also talks about Ava DuVernay’s #BlackGirlMagic, Africa and much more.

Kofi on his mother, Koshi Mills: “I’m just honoring her, and honoring her through my existence…like who I am, what I represent. That to me is rooted in my character and my mother—I came out of her. That’s an ode to her.”

Kofi on Ava DuVernay’s influence: “I respect Ava so much,” he reflects. “Its like a kid trying to live up to their parents expectations. You know I’m working so closely with people like Oprah and Ava and its literally magic. I’m just taking it one step at a time.”

Kofi on bridging the gap between Africa and African-Americans: “I feel like there’s a disconnect between Africans and African-Americans. More than 80 percent of us have never been back to Africa. I’m Ghanaian and I just went back for the first time. It’s just a lack of information, a lack of knowledge, a lack of understanding.”
