#RHoA: Kenya Moore Releases First Photo Shoot After Announcing Pregnancy — Marc Daly’s Wife Cropped Out The Baby Bump
A glowing Kenya Moore has released her first photo shoot since announcing to the world that she and Marc Daly are pregnant.
Kenya is also taking on those rumors claiming that she is having her baby via surrogate.
In the newly-released photo, the expecting Real Housewives of Atlanta star and businesswoman is wearing a stunning white dress with a peephole.
The former beauty queen is laying on the ground, and her belly bump is cropped out of the picture.
She used the caption to say people should never give up on their dreams. Marc’s wife explained: “Never Give Up On Your Dreams.”
The 47-year-old reality hair expert announced the not-so-surprising baby news over the weekend during the hit show’s reunion episode that aired on Bravo.
Kenya awkwardly said after being quizzed by Andy Cohen: “We will be welcoming a boy or girl in late this year.”
Kenya went on to say that she is not going to share too many details on the pregnancy and added: “I don’t want to talk about the details. I am still just very nervous about everything, so I just want to get past a safe place…I want a healthy baby.”
Kenya, who wed New York restaurateur Marc about a year ago in a romantic ceremony on the beautiful island of St. Lucia, sparked rumors that she was using a surrogate because she never used the word pregnant.
Kenya responded to the rumors by tweeting: “No surrogate but maybe my next one.”
One fan had this to say about the story: “Boy people don’t listen, she’s addressed this twice already. She is pregnant. It’s very early and she’s 47. Her focus is getting past the first trimester. I’m sure she won’t talk about this anymore until she is further along. Anyway I’ve always loved my “black-Barbie” growing up! Can’t beat Natural beauty. I can imagine how beautiful she looks in person.Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!! You’ll have a BEAUTIFUL BABY!!!!I’m so happy for you! You deserve all the happiness and I’m sure you will be a wonderful mother!!!”
Another commenter stated: “You looked fantastic as always at the reunion but more importantly I was so happy to hear you’re having a baby! I couldn’t stop smiling. Of all of the women on ATL you’re the one with a journey that impacts me emotionally! Congratulations! hunny please keep negative vibes away while u with child.”
Many believe Kenya is expecting a baby girl.
#EMPIRE: Taraji P. Henson Joins Tracy Morgan in ‘What Men Want’
Paramount Players has hired Tracy Morgan and Aldis Hodge to join Taraji P. Henson’s comedy “What Men Want.”
Variety first reported on Feb. 2 that Adam Shankman had come on board to direct the film, which is inspired by the Nancy Meyers’ 2000 rom-com, “What Women Want.” Will Packer and James Lopez are producing and Shankman executive producing.
The original movie starred Mel Gibson as a marketing exec who suddenly has the ability to hear what women are thinking after a freak accident. In the remake, the roles are reversed, with Henson playing sports agent who has been constantly boxed out by her male colleagues. When she gains the power to hear men’s thoughts, she is able to shift the paradigm to her advantage as she races to sign the NBA’s next superstar.
“What Men Want” has already been set to open on Jan. 11, 2019. It’s being spearheaded by Brian Robbins and Ali Bell under the newly formed division at Paramount, which launched in June.
Morgan is currently the TBS comedy “The Last O.G.,” which is set to premiere Tuesday. In his first stand-up special since his 2014 car accident, Morgan released “Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive” on Netflix last May and told jokes about life in a coma, his second marriage and his family’s dark side.
Hodge previously appeared opposite Henson in “Hidden Figures” and will star alongside Gillian Jacobs and Adam DeVine in the Disney comedy “Magic Camp.”
Morgan is repped by CAA, ML Management and Hansen Jacobson. Hodge is repped by Paradigm.

Over thunderous drums, the G-Unit mogul analyzes his life, reflects on exhaustion, and goes through family quarrels with his son. “I woke up this morning, really wasn’t feeling myself,” he explains. “Thought about suicide, but me, I ain’t killing myself.”
Following PnB Rock’s melodic chorus about “going crazy,” Fif keeps digging into his personal life. He also grapples with his beloved grandparents’ health. He even looks back on his estranged friend Lloyd Banks and Eminem’s ill-fated romance with Kim.
More importantly, “Crazy” allows 50 Cent to look in the mirror. He self-assesses all of these things while weighing his sanity. “It feels like I’m God’s punching bag on occasions,” he raps. “Amazing how other days I feel like I’m his favorite.”

Blake Shelton Looking Forward To ‘Babysitting’ Gwen Stefani’s Kids While She’s In Las Vegas
Gwen Stefani is going to be performing in Las Vegas later this year but who is going to care for her three sons when she starts her Vegas residency? We have learned that there is no reason to worry about that as Blake Shelton is reportedly super excited to babysit the boys.
‘Her kids will be with her and often backstage, but there will also be plenty of times when Blake will be on some babysitting duties, and he’s more than excited to be in ‘dad mode’ when Gwen is working,’ one insider explained.
‘He’s going to use the time to have fun and spoil them. Plus, her kids are used to her schedule, and these Vegas commitments will not be a cause for concern in any way with her ex Gavin [Rossdale], Blake or the kids. All that has been taken care of, and everyone’s excited,’ the source close to the family added.
That is perfect! Not only will Gwen be able to really focus on her performances and all the preparations that go into creating a live show, but Blake will also spend a lot of time with the boys.
It is a win-win for everybody, including the kids who we have previously learned, love the country crooner as if he was their real dad and would be devastated if he and their mom split.
It’s great to hear that Blake is helping the best way he can! No wonder Gwen is thinking about marrying him a lot!
Yvonne Staples, Singer and Manager of the Staple Singers, Dies at 80
Yvonne Staples, background singer and manager of the R&B family group the Staple Singers, died Tuesday in her Chicago home. She was 80.
Bill Carpenter, a family friend, confirmed Staples’s death to The New York Times, citing the cause as colon cancer.
The Staple Singers were formed in 1948 by the patriarch of the family, Roebuck “Pops” Staples. He was originally joined by his children Cleotha, Pervis and Mavis. After Pervis left to serve in the military in 1971, Yvonne stepped in to fill his place.
The family began singing in churches at the start of their career. The Staples were signed to multiple record labels including Epic and Stax Records. The group landed their first hit under Stax with “Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom-Boom)” in 1971. In the following year, the group’s most recognized song “I’ll Take You There” topped the Billboard R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts. Another hit titled “Respect Yourself” peaked at the second and 12th spot on the Billboard R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts respectively. “Let’s Do It Again,” released in 1975, also became a pop hit in the U.S.
“On all the big hit records, Yvonne did the background vocals” and also served as the group’s business manager, Carpenter told The New York Times.
The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, with all the group members present at the ceremony to accept the honor. The Staple Singers were also presented with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, following “Pops” Staples death in 2000. Cleotha Staples died in 2013.
Yvonne Staples is survived by her brother and sister, Pervis and Mavis, the last living members of the group.

Fenty Beauty has become a global sensation. The line of beauty products, created by Rihanna, has caught on quickly with fans, even earning the honor of being named one of Time Magazine's most important interventions of 2017. And now, Rihanna has announced that Fenty Beauty is coming to Saudi Arabia.
She shared the news in a post to her Twitter on Saturday (April 7), Billboard reports. "I’m so happy to announce that @FentyBeauty is coming to Saudi Arabia on April 19th!! #SephoraMiddleEast 🇸🇦," the singer tweeted.

Eve Recalls The Time Janet Jackson Soothed Her After Being Drugged At A Party
The same soft and melancholy voice of Janet Jackson that gets played throughout homes around the world, is the same voice that helped console rapper, Eve, during a very scary night in Hollywood.
During a recent episode of The Talk, the female emcee recalled the night Janet came to her rescue.
It was during an afterparty of a big awards show that Eve and a friend were having a drink while canoodling with Hollywood power players. “It was all people I was in the industry with,” she said. The night, however, took a drastic turn after she set her drink down.
“Probably an hour after the last time I picked my drink up, I started feeling crazy and not drunk,” she said on Monday, while discussing the dangers of leaving your drink unattended. “I knew immediately something was different.”
She explained, “I was there, but I wasn’t there.”
Eve recalls telling the friend she was with that she had been drugged, but the friend brushed it off and suggested she was just drunk. That’s when the rapper started to become emotional, “hysterically crying,” concerned for her safety and well being.
But then came … Janet to the rescue. “I hear this really soft voice that’s like ‘it’s ok, it’s ok, I’ll take care of it … I turned around and it’s Janet Jackson. She’s like ‘I got this, don’t worry, relax, calm down.'”
According to Eve, that was the first time she ever met Miss Nasty.

‘American Horror Story’ Season 8 To Be Set In The Very Near, Very Scary Future
To those who made it through the latest (and messiest) season of “American Horror Story,” well, congrats, because we bailed around the time Lena Dunham’s character was revealed to be the Zodiac killer.
For rest us, a new installment thankfully is on the way, and creator Ryan Murphy is already dropping hints about what Season 8 will look like.
At a panel with “AHS” cast members Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Adina Porter, and Leslie Grossman, the prolific producer announced they all will return for the show’s next season, which will be set in the “near future.”
“I will say it is set 18 months from today,” Murphy told the crowd after each of the cast members asked him a yes-or-no question about the future of the series, according to Variety.
Ryan Murphy, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters speak onstage at the ‘American Horror Story: Cult’ panel.
That timeline puts the next season somewhere around October 2019, which by our estimate has nothing particularly exciting going on besides John Krasinski’s 40th birthday and, of course, Halloween.
Murphy also revealed that the new season will be “fantasy inspired” and “heightened,” mirroring the tones of previous well-received chapters like “Asylum” and “Coven.”
Billy Eichner, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter and Leslie Grossman attend the ‘American Horror Story: Cult’ panel.
Peters, who will also try his hand at directing this season along with Paulson, will play a different character of sorts after his intense turn as a Trump-supporting lunatic.
“Your part this year is a comedic part,” Murphy told the actor. “You are our comedic and you play a hairstylist.”
Legendary actress Joan Collins will be playing Peters’ grandmother, Murphy confirmed, and Angelica Houston has been tapped to star in an unspecified role.
The new season is set to begin filming around June 16, but FX has yet to announce a release date. Murphy, meanwhile, has his hands full with “American Crime Story,” “9-1-1,” “Feud” and his new drama “Pose” on the horizon.
