‘POWER’ Cast member Rotimi for Rolling Out Magazine
It takes many actors decades to get to where Rotimi Akinosho is right now. He’s so hot that he just goes by one name. As Dre on “Power” for the past two seasons, he’s gotten his weight all the way up. And this season, he’s more than turned the tables. That’s not bad for someone who has only been in the game since 2011. Instafamous, he even has a million followers on Instagram. In one post on @rotimimusic, he writes “I believe in work, i [sic] don’t rock with luck.” But he just might rock with destiny.
The son of Nigerian immigrants who raised him in Jersey, Rotimi has never really known what it’s like to lose. Even in the womb, his mother was told that Rotimi had big shoes to fill.
“My mom always knew that I was going to be a musician or an entertainer because she always would say that Bob Marley had come to her in a dream when she was pregnant with me and said, ‘Your son is going to fulfill my legacy,’ ” the 29-year-old shares in a recent phone interview.

#RHoA VS #RhoP? Kenya Moore Beefing with Karen Huger?
Well we know Kenya won’t #TWIRL for the next season of R.H.o.A. But Moore, 47, is now beefing with a star of “RHOA’s” sister show, the “Real Housewives of Potomac.”
But Moore, “RHOA’s” lightning rod is now kicking up dust with Karen Moore of “RHOP.”
The dustup began when “RHOP’s” Karen Huger, 54, met with cast member Candiace Dillard on their latest episode and explained Dilliard keeps bragging about her privileged rearing.
“I know that you’re a pageant girl and you’re very proud of that,” Huger said. “You should be. But the way you present it in the conversation, you’ll say, ‘Well, Chris is upset with me because I can walk through the airport, everyone knows me! And Chris has just got to adjust!’ Now, I’m embellishing, but that is how it comes across to everyone.”
Huger continues: “This is what I want you to take from this conversation: we all are pageant queens in our own right,” she tells Dilliard. “But we don’t say it. What is special about you? Because there’s so much more. … There’s so much more to you than that. You can’t tell me that’s it.”
But “RHOA’s” Moore, who won Miss USA pageant in 1993, took umbrage at Huger classifying everyone as a pageant queen when they did not actually earn the title.
Huger, never one to turn the other cheek when she’s been swung at, hit Moore with her own combination punches:
Moore fired back at Huger a few more times with this:
“All women are pageants queen in their own right. First time agreeing with @KARENHUGER There are so many beautiful women out there and it doesn’t take one to be in a pageant to be called a queen or a beautiful lady. #rhop ladies are all beautiful. Robyn and Ashley are gorgeous,” the fan said on IG:
“This is going to be Kenya’s new role .. [slighting] all the other housewives because she’s bitter about losing her peach😂,” another fan surmised.
A third fan told Moore to fall back with the unprovoked hate: “Hey hey now. I like you, but don’t come for the OG of Potomac. You knew what she was trying to say.”
Meanwhile, Moore is appropriating her energies into the healthy arrival of her first baby with husband, New York-based restaurateur Marc Daly.

#RHONY’ Star Luann de Lesseps has Checked Back Into Rehab
Luann de Lesseps is back in rehab.
The “Real Housewives of New York” star, who did a stint in rehab last year after her arrest for allegedly kicking a cop, is once again seeking treatment, according to PEOPLE.
Her “RHONY” co-star Bethenny Frankel released a statement on her behalf, saying, “This weekend, Luann was surrounded by her girlfriends and decided — with their support — that in light of recent circumstances, it is the healthiest choice for her not to attend Tuesday’s reunion taping so that she can continue in her healing process.
She continued, “Luann is now surrounded by a core group of people who truly have her best interests at heart and who are working to make sure she gets the help she needs.”
Bravo said that de Lesseps is not currently filming season 10, adding that they support her “decision to focus on her health.”
When she checked into a treatment center last year, de Lesseps said, “I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life-changing event. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law-abiding character.”
#WentzUponATime: Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Carson Wentz got married in Bucks County over the weekend
#WentzUponATime
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is officially off the market after his wedding to longtime girlfriend Maddie Oberg over the weekend.
Wentz and Oberg were married at the Lake House Inn in East Rockhill Township in Bucks County on Sunday. Eyewitnesses spotted the ceremony from their boats on nearby Lake Nockamixon. One Facebook user, Christy Stack, posted photos of the nuptials to her account online, noting that “after ‘you may kiss the bride’ a guy on a kayak did the Eagles chant.”
“Such a blessing to finally get to marry my best friend,” Wentz wrote of his wedding on Twitter. “It was an incredible day and God has his fingerprints all over our story! I’m a lucky man with one amazing wife.”
The star quarterback previously announced his engagement to Oberg back in February, just days after the Eagles took home their first Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots. Wentz was several months into an ACL injury from which he is still recovering.
Currently, Wentz is attending rehab sessions at the NovaCare Complex, and though coach Doug Pederson says the quarterback is “doing really well,” he is unsure when Wentz will be cleared to play.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Pantless Daddy/Daughter Dance Party Has The Internet Buzzing
Malcolm-Jamal Warner loves every moment of fatherhood, but he admits it can sometimes be frustrating while tending to his 14-month-old daughter.
The beloved “Cosby Show” star, who is now a very grown 47-year-old man, has the internet buzzing with his latest Daddy Chronicle featuring him dancing pantless with his baby girl because she was being whiney.
Malcolm-Jamal wrote:
Our living room is no stranger to mommy-daddy-daughter dance parties. Top picks are Itsy Bitsy Spider by Go Fish (Party Like A Preschooler, that joint goes hard) and Mi Gente by @jbalvin (gotta feed that boricua blood). We just woke up from a nap and for some reason, I was intent on cleaning up the kitchen from a messy lunch, but my daughter wouldn’t let me.
She wanted to be held in a low key whiney 14-month-old way. For a brief moment, I felt myself getting low key frustrated. But then I stopped what I was doing bc she didn’t care about a messy kitchen. All she wanted was for her daddy to hold her. Something that simply makes my daughter happy. Something THAT simple.
And it was a moment I didn’t want to take for granted. We told Alexa to shuffle songs by @thejacksons and we had our own impromptu kitchen dance party (heavily inspired by @wyanna and her kitchen dancing-I 👀 you, mama 🤪)!

Personally, I don’t give a flying f*ck if Kiki loves me. I know my daughter and my Queen do. That’s ALL that matters. #lovedbabiesarehappybabies #happymoments #happymommy #happydaddy #ProudDadGang #gratitudegang #dancepants #TheJacksons #shakeyabodydowntotheground #makeblackfamiliesgreatagain
'Mamma Mia 2' Cast have fun at The World Premiere in London
Cher and Meryl Streep at the 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' world premiere in London
Meryl Steep and Colin Firth were among those praising their 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' co-star.
There was little doubt who was the main attraction at Universal's Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again world premiere in London on Sunday.
Despite the presence of stars Colin Firth, Lily James, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried and – even – Meryl Streep on the blue carpet outside the Eventim Apollo, kitted out with flowers and real life lemon trees in keeping with the film's Mediterranean setting, by far the loudest cheers were reserved for newcomer Cher. And it wasn't just from the crowds (one of whom brandished a homemade sign saying "Cher for President 2020")
"You don't mess with Cher!" said Tom Hanks, who served as executive producer on the film alongside his wife Rita Wilson. "We were all in awe, and a bit nervous."
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is set for release July 20.
Donald Trump sold out the US to Russia, at #TreasonSummit
U.S. lawmakers are criticizing President Trump, saying he missed an opportunity to hold Russia accountable for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election. USA TODAY
'The president’s disgraceful performance today — refusing to confront Putin even as he criticized American intelligence agencies — only underscores the dangers we're facing.'
The indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers on Friday was yet another reminder of ongoing Russian attempts to undermine our democracy using cyberattacks. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats issued a stark warning later in the day, comparing our current situation to the days leading up to 9/11: “The warning lights are blinking red again. Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.”
And it’s not just attacks on our elections: Russian government cyber actors have also attacked our power grid, nuclear facilities and American businesses.
With that as a backdrop, every American should be alarmed by the spectacle of President Donald Trump seeking out friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The president’s disgraceful performance today — refusing to confront Putin even as he criticized American intelligence agencies — only underscores the dangers we're facing.
But we should be equally appalled by congressional inaction. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan have yet to allow a single vote on legislation to defend the U.S. against future attacks or prevent foreign meddling on Facebook. That negligence is inexcusable.
Congress should pass three bills immediately. First, the Secure Elections Act would strengthen our cyber defenses and provide much-needed assistance to state and local election officials on the front lines of defending our democracy. Second, the Honest Ads Act would help prevent manipulation by foreign actors by requiring that online political ads disclose their sponsors, just like ads on TV or radio. Third, the DETER Act would lay out specific sanctions that would be automatically imposed on Russia if the intelligence community determines that it has interfered in the 2018 elections.
We may not be able to fathom or prevent Trump’s affinity for Putin, but Republican congressional leaders do have the ability to check the president and protect the American people from further attacks — if they choose. And with the mid-term elections fast approaching, the situation is urgent.
Our Constitution makes Congress an equal branch of government alongside the executive, precisely for moments like this. Sen. McConnell and Speaker Ryan should do their jobs.

Ciara is slaying with The S&M Sexy Photos!
Ciara is living her best life, and her fans are loving it as they live vicariously through her intercontinental excursions.
The Austin, Texas-born, Atlanta-bred singer has been riding a nice groove in her life recently, as she successfully bandaged up her past emotional wounds, married and had a baby with the man of her dreams, NFL quarterback Russell Wilson, and lives in relative comfort and peace in greater Seattle.
Ciara’s recent photo shoots, whether taken by a professional or her spouse, who does photography when he’s not playing for the Seattle Seahawks, have dazzled fans worldwide as she exudes peace and happiness.
In her latest, Ciara, 32, stunts hard in tight leather latex in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she’s also celebrating her second wedding anniversary with Wilson.
Some publications speculate that Ciara is the latest to pay homage to living legend Janet Jackson, who famously wore leather throughout the recording of her classic Rhythm Nation album, in all of the corresponding video shoots and throughout that album’s international tour.
Jamie Foxx In Talks To Join Michael B. Jordan In ‘Just Mercy’ Legal Drama
Jamie Foxx is in talks to join Warner Bros. forthcoming legal drama, Just Mercy, starring Michael B. Jordan.
Via The Hollywood Reporter: Adapting the memoir of the same name by Bryan Stevenson, the feature project tells of the case that launched the career of the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, the organization that fights on behalf of the poor, the wrongly condemned and death-row prisoners trapped in the justice system.
Just Mercy was a memoir that focuses on Stevenson’s first case, that of Walter McMillian, a black man sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. Despite being at a barbecue surrounded by dozens of witnesses at the time of the murder, McMillian was convicted in a trial that lasted a day and a half. He spent six years on death row.
Stevenson took on the case, discovering that the prosecution suppressed evidence, ending up in McMillian’s exoneration.

We can’t wait for today’s kids to meet Tommy, Chuckie and pals.”
Added Brian Robbins, President of Paramount Players, “Now feels like the ideal time to reintroduce this iconic cast of characters to a whole new generation of young fans. Kids who grew up with Tommy Pickles and the Rugrats crew will now be able to share that experience with their own children.”
Rugrats focuses on a group of toddlers, Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster, twins Phil and Lil DeVille, and Angelica Pickles, and their day-to-day lives that became adventures in their imaginations.
