#RHoA: Kenya is sending out some LOVE to her former RHoA Castmates! But is she really done with Bravo?
Kenya Moore shared an emotional Instagram post, thanking her reality star pals for always standing by her.
“Thank you for making me feel so loved @cynthiabailey10 I miss you! Thank you @kandi for always being you and @porsha4real for sending your well wishes,” Moore captioned the beautiful photo of her showing off her baby bump in a long white summer dress.
She added the hashtags “#sisterhood,” “#babydaly” and “#RHOA.”
In the comments section, a fan asked Moore if this was her goodbye message to RHOA, to which she responded, “LOL no, just sending out love.” Or could it really be Goodbye?
As previously reported, Moore’s, 47, BEEF with Bravo became an issue when she denied the RHOA cameras access to her secret wedding to Marc Daly. Network execs then gave her a demotion from her full-time Housewife status, but her “pride” didn’t allow her to accept the new part-time role.
But to me something isn’t all that right in the water. On the Bravo blog they keep posting little tidbits on Kenya. If you’ve severed ties with her, why are you still featuring her? They do NOT do this for Sheree. So Bravo what’s really the tea, Is Mother Twirl getting her own show?
Stay tuned on this one!
#Empire: ‘The Best Of Enemies’ Racial Drama Starring Taraji P. Henson-Sam Rockwell has been picked up by STXfilms
STXfilms has secured domestic distribution rights to The Best of Enemies, a based-on-true-events drama from first-time director Robin Bissell. Starring Taraji P. Henson and recent Oscar winner Sam Rockwell, the film is inspired by Osha Gray Davidson’s book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South.
It centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater (Henson), an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis (Rockwell), a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, as they battle over the desegregation of schools in Durham, NC, during the racially charged summer of 1971.
No word on the film’s release date.
Danny Strong, Fred Bernstein, Matt Berenson, Bissell, Dominique Telson and Material Pictures’ Tobey Maguire and Matthew Plouffe produced the period piece while Rick Jackson and Jeremiah Samuels served as executive producers.

The MUA Goddess! Pat McGrath Is Now Valued at Over $1 Billion with her Cosmetics line Pat McGrath Labs!
MAJOR COINAGE!
Pat McGrath, the mother of all beauty innovators and runway makeup, is an undeniable force in the makeup world. Her eponymous beauty line, Pat McGrath Labs, consistently sells out its launches, and her Instagram can create trends just as quickly as you can say cat-eye. So what does all that influence translate on the bottom line? Uh, two words: major bank.
As Fashionista reports, New York City–based Eurazeo Brands announced on Monday that they had signed a $60 million deal to become a minority shareholder in Pat McGrath Labs. The influx of cash means the company's external funding has jumped to $88 million. According to Fashionista, industry sources estimate that the investment brings the company's valuation to more than $1 billion. (For the record, Kylie Jenner's brand Kylie Cosmetics is valued at $800 million.) Pat McGrath Labs is also expected to bring in a whopping $60 million in sales in 2018, according to WWD.
"It has always been my dream to create an iconic beauty brand that goes beyond the usual limitations, that lives outside the parameters of what is expected," McGrath said of the funding deal in a press release. "I am thrilled to be working with the unique and expert team at Eurazeo Brands."
Jill Granoff, CEO of Eurazeo Brands, echoed Pat's sentiments: "We are honored to be working with Pat, whose vision, talent, and trailblazing history in the beauty industry have set Pat McGrath Labs up to be one of the most authentic and innovative makeup brands to ever come to market. We're excited to combine our experience of building global beauty and fashion brands with Pat and her team's unmatched creativity and passion."
Next up for Pat? In her statement, the MUA described the next steps for the company as a continuation of her brand's "incredible trajectory." That includes expanding into 90 IRL Sephora stores (they're currently in 54), continuing to release merch, and staying focused on their surprise "product drop" strategy. Can't wait to see what they cook up next in their miracle-working labs!
Now that is how you earn from the BOTTOM up! Where’s her Forbes Cover?

The newest Los Angeles Laker was seen leaving Avenue Nightclub on Wednesday night after the ESPY Awards, which James did not attend.
Durant was also at the club with Bron, and even though the two stars have gone head-to-head over the past 2 NBA Championships, that’s all water under the bridge when there’s partying to be done.
Also in attendance with the hoop stars was Drake, who is still celebrating “In My Feelings” hitting #1 this week.
‘Wendy Williams Show And CBS is being Sued By a former Staples Employee After Being Fired For Racism Claims
Earlier this year, Sherri Shepherd’s rant about being racially profiled got a Staples store employee fired, according to the employee, who’s now suing media outlets that covered the story … but not Sherri.
According to TMZ reports, Janice Reyes is suing “The Wendy Williams Show” and CBS Television after they aired the video Sherri posted back in February — she slammed Reyes as a racist for refusing to let her and a friend use the Hollywood store’s restroom.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, Reyes says she got canned 5 days after Sherri’s post. Reyes says her supervisor told her the bathrooms were getting fixed, and instructed her to keep customers away. She says that’s the only reason she stopped Sherri.
Reyes claims Shepherd and her friend confronted her while ringing them up … calling her a liar and accusing her of racism. Reyes admits she said, “I’m not taking this s***” and walked away.
Reyes says she was told she was getting fired for swearing, but she thinks the real reason was Sherri accusing her of racism.
She’s suing for loss of wages and other damages. She’s suing CBS because it aired “Inside Edition” … which also covered the story.
Olympic Figure Skater Denis Ten Killed at Age 25

#Airbus ‘Beluga Whale’ Airplane takes flight for the first time
WOW!!! What a Fish! Airbus’s BelugaXL made its first flight on Thursday.
Airbus’ BelugaXL made its first flight on Thursday, circling the skies over southwest France.
The super-transporter is one of the largest aircraft in existence, six meters longer and one meter wider than its predecessor, the BelugaST transporter.
The flight, which took-off from Blagnac in Toulouse, signified the start of a 10-month testing period before the plane can start flying commercially. Typically, the Beluga series has been used by Airbus to transport aircraft wings from factories to its assembly lines in Europe.
One wing factory is sited at Hawarden airport in North Wales. To allow the supersized plane to land, Hawarden is erecting new blast fences and resurfacing its runway.
WATCH
The first flight for the BelugaXL from Blagnac in Toulouse, France on 19th July, 2018.
The announcement came soon after Airbus revealed the super transporter’s new paint job, which was designed to represent its name sake, the Beluga Whale. The design was voted for in a poll by 20,000 people.
Airbus said the aircraft is the first of five BelugaXL’s to enter service during 2019.

#RHONY Season 10 Reunion Secrets Revealed! Who Won Bethenny vs Carole Showdown?
The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Reunion Secrets Revealed
It’s almost here, viewers. That’s right, we’re only weeks away from The Real Housewives of New York season 10 reunion, and sources say it’s going to be epic!
As you know, former besties, Bethenny Frankel and Carole Radziwill, have been feuding this season, but sources say Carole’s not the only cast member who had a bone to pick with Bethenny. In fact, a production source tells Us Weekly that at some points during the reunion “it was everybody versus Bethenny, except Sonja [Morgan],” who the source says was the “only cast member consistently on Bethenny’s side.”
But they say that Carole, in particular, came to play!
“Carole brought receipts to the reunion exposing Bethenny’s lies, one after another,” revealed the source about the July 17 taping.
Don’t you just love receipts?! I know I do! Apparently, Bethenny came armed with some information of her own, but it may have been faulty because it reportedly didn’t help her during the showdown with Carole.
“Bethenny brought a purple file folder that she had next to her. Whatever was in there will never be known because Bethenny kept looking at it frantically and putting it down,” shared the source. “Bethenny accused Carole of writing an article or something about Luann [de Lesseps]. When Carole said show it to me, Bethenny wouldn’t. Carole said, you’re lying. It was a verbal fight.”
We may never know what was in the purple folder, but sources say it likely had to do with the weekly Bravo blogs that Carole has been writing about Bethenny all season.
Luann, who returned to rehab this week, was of course a topic of conversation with most of the RHONY ladies acknowledging that she “has not been sober and that she needs help.”
With Luann absent, another production source says that the seating arrangements were “messed up,” and Ramona [Singer], who has plenty of issues with Bethenny of her own, had to be put on the couch with her and Sonja to “balance” things out.
Sounds like it’s going to be a pretty rough time for Bethenny! But, it may not be quite as bad as it sounds because a second source revealed that Bethenny was actually “smiling and laughing” during the squabble, while Carole appeared “stressed and intense” throughout.
While we still have a few weeks to go until we can see the RHONY reunion drama for ourselves, Carole and Bethenny both took to Twitter to tweet about the taping, and, not surprisingly, both are claiming victory!
Whoopi Goldberg and Jeanine Pirro get into explosive argument backstage at ‘The View’
Whoopi Goldberg and Jeanine Pirro got into an explosive argument backstage at “The View” on Thursday — after an intense on-the-air exchange got even more heated behind-the-scenes,
The confrontation ended with Goldberg allegedly shouting, “F–k you, get the f–k out!” at President Trump supporter and Fox News host and Idiot Pirro.
During the screaming match, Pirro told Goldberg, “I’ve done more for abused women than you will ever do,” we hear.
The trouble, sources told us, started before Pirro even went on-air to promote her new book, “Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy” — when Pirro arrived at “The View” to learn that anti-Trump CNN contributor Ana Navarro was filling in for Joy Behar.
“When Jeanine arrived on set she was looking for a fight and refusing to be on with Ana, demanding [Ana] not be in the segment,” an insider said. “[Pirro] was yelling at [‘The View’] executive producer and her staff like, ‘You need to handle this.’”
Another source told us that Pirro “was upset that Ana was there because she wasn’t told until the last minute. Ana is 24-7 anti-Trump. Jeanine wasn’t yelling, but you could tell they felt like the segment was being hijacked by shoving in an anti-Fox, anti-Trump person.”
Navaro did appear in Pirro’s segments, and things came to a head on the ABC show when the “Justice with Judge Jeanine” host accused Goldberg of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Goldberg responded of Trump, “I have never seen anybody whip up such hate.”
A shouting match started with Pirro declaring, “You know what’s horrible? When people who shouldn’t be here end up murdering the children of American citizens!” and Goldberg shot back, “What is horrible is when the president of the United States whips up people to beat the hell out of people … Say goodbye. I’m done!”
Goldberg left the stage, but the fireworks went off again with the cameras off: Backstage when the two crossed paths, a source told us, “Jeanine tried telling her she’s fought for victims her whole life.” That’s when “Whoopi got in her face and said that they’ve known each other a long time, but still, ‘F–k you, get the f–k out of this building.’ Jeanine looked stunned.”
Another source told us, “Jeanine could have walked by her. There was one more segment to do. She could have walked by her easily, she said, ‘I’ve done more for abused women than you will ever do’ and that’s when Whoopi said, ‘You and I have never had a problem,’ before everything else was said.”
We hear the ABC show’s producers and Goldberg have reached out to Pirro to have a conversation about what happened.
Reps declined to comment.
Goldberg apologized to the audience for the on-air blowup, saying, “You saw me do something I very rarely do … I very rarely lose my cool and I’m not proud of it. I don’t like it. But I also don’t like being accused of being hysterical because that is one of the things I try not to be on this show.”
Black Christian Leaders Call on Paul Ryan to Censure Maxine Waters' 'Call to Extremism'
A group of black Christian conservative leaders are calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to censure Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters of California for comments she made last month urging supporters to directly harass administration officials at "anytime" and "anywhere" they see them.
African-American conservative activists and religious leaders gathered on Capitol Hill Thursday to pressure Ryan to formally condemn Waters on the House floor and proclaimed that Waters doesn't speak to the "faith of all black America."
In question are Waters' comments at a California rally in late June in which she called for critics of the administration to confront Donald Trump administration officials when they see them at a restaurant, a gas station, a department store or wherever else they might be found in public.
Waters' remarks came as there was much media coverage over Trump administration officials — White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen — being kicked out of restaurants because they work for the Trump administration.
"Her call to extremism based on where another American citizen works and who they associate with must be sternly addressed by Speaker Paul Ryan," Star Parker, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, said at a press conference. "An apology is not enough, nor did she offer one when asked by House Speaker. As we move into two months of intense debate over SCOTUS nomination, the censuring of Maxine Waters becomes of extreme urgency."
Bishop Aubrey Shines of the nondenominational Glory to Glory Ministries in Tampa, Florida, asserted that lawmakers like Waters who say these types of things are also putting law-abiding supporters of the president — such as themselves — in harm's way.
"[Waters is] asking those who follow her and those that are part of her party to make sure that individuals like myself are accosted — not just the cabinet — wherever we are," he said. "She said, and I quote, 'anywhere, anytime.' That means in supermarkets or in restaurants. Wherever those of us who have supported this current president find ourselves, she is asking those that follow her to make sure that we are harassed in some sort of form."
Diante Johnson, president and founder of the Black Conservative Federation, said that he has heard of instances in which black interns on Capitol Hill have been denied Uber rides because they were wearing pro-Trump "Make America Great Again" hats.
"This is the effect of Maxine Waters," argued Johnson. "This is the effect of the Congressional Black Caucus members who haven't called her out. This is the effect of Paul Ryan who hasn't processed the censure. This is the effect of the Democratic Party as a whole who hasn't said, 'Maxine Waters, you can't say that, you shouldn't say that.'"
While the Democratic Party as a whole has not spoken out about Waters' remark, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi did call the remark "unacceptable."
According to Shines, Waters' comment is the type of thing that blacks and whites across the country fought together to ensure that "we would never ever see again."
"Yet, she is spewing this type of venom over and over again," said Shines, referring to the fact that Waters doubled down on her remark. "Unfortunately, her tentacles have reached as far as the mainstream media. We are now also being called trained dogs by the mainstream media simply because we do not adhere to groupthink."
Shines concluded that this "type of racial divisiveness is something that is helping destroy America as we know it."
Bishop David Ritchie of Operation MOBILE International Churches, Inc. proclaimed that the level of politicial incivility on display in the United States today is "crazy."
"I travel around the world and I oversee churches in Nigeria and Cuba and other nations and the difference in our nation and other nations is the civility that we have," he explained. "When we have missionaries that come to our nation, one of the things that I have heard them say is that everything works here."
"They are surprised that everything works — the traffic and everything. Our legislators are supposed to work and our checks and balances are supposed to work," he continued. "We go to the voting booth and we vote for people. The one that is the elected is the one that we say we want to lead and that is it. Then the next time, someone else comes in."
But today, Ritchie warned, the incivility is turning the U.S. into just another nation.
"Now, we are turning into other nations and say, 'Let's start fighting and let's start arguing. Let's take it to the streets. Let's no longer make things work. Let's begin to fight. Let's tear each other apart,'" Ritchie contended. "The problem with Maxine Waters is not Maxine Waters, because she learned that behavior. I don't really have a problem with her. I have a problem with people saying they don't have a problem with her [behavior]. That is the problem. She learned that behavior because people did it to her and now she is doing it to others. But why isn't anyone jumping up and down and say, 'We have order in the United States and you can't do that to people.'"
According to Johnson, what the U.S. is experiencing is a "reversal in time."
"We are discriminating not based upon race anymore but based upon political preference," stated Johnson. "To Maxine Waters, it is very shameful for someone who has experienced segregation to turn around and reverse it to political party."
Michael B. Jordan Wants Fans Not to ‘Tear’ Black Men Down for Their Dating Preferences
Michael B. Jordan is fed up with claims that he doesn’t date Black women. The “Fahrenheit 451” actor has been plagued with rumors throughout his entire career that he only prefers to date non-Black ladies.
But despite him shooting down those rumors time and time again, the claims still persist — especially when Jordan is caught out with a new, fairer skinned woman.
The issue may have stemmed from a Daily Mail report saying Jordan was spotted clubbing in San Tropez with long-rumored girlfriend Ashlyn Castro. But this week, the website posted photos of a buff Jordan boating with pals in the Mediterranean Sea. He sat opposite a male friend and a white female companion
“Y’all are wylin’ right now. Y’all are buggin’ … yes, I’m on vacation right now, OK? I’m traveling around,” he said on Instagram Live Wednesday, July 18 of continued claims he doesn’t date Black women. “News flash: it’s not a lot of Black women in Italy OK? It’s not, it’s just not. Sorry. … I’m reading through the comments and s—, y’all tearin’ ya boy up. It’s too much, man. Y’all doin’ too much.
“I like milk. I like chocolate milk — I love chocolate milk. And I like almond milk, strawberry milk. You know the cinnamon toast crunch? The milk after that, I like that, too. That’s pretty good. I like milk period. Y’all just doin’ a lot. Y’all gotta chill.”
Jordan’s pal also co-signed that the white woman photographed with them was his girlfriend, not Jordan’s.
“Y’all gotta start putting more positivity out there. As a Black man, you gotta do what you gotta do in the sense of you gotta enrich your community and what not. But you gotta stop putting out all this negative s— … why tear us down? For what?”
— insert username (@onceuponAB) July 18, 2018
Still, fans were left unimpressed.
“Michael B. Jordan just got on IG live justifying his love for white women. He said ‘I love all milk’ including chocolate and vanilla. F—ing trash.”
“Girl I was on his live calling him everything under the sun. He had the nerve to say ‘it’s not that many Black women in Italy’ because he is on vacation. GO FIND THEM! Lmaooo.”
“To clarify for some, I think OP, like myself, is more grossed out by the fact that he felt he even needed to justify his dating habits to strangers especially using those terms. I couldn’t give a damn less who he dates just don’t slander the women you don’t go for. Simple.”
Michelle Obama Teams Up With Tom Hanks, Lin-Manuel Miranda For Voter Registration Campaign ‘When We All Vote’
Former first lady Michelle Obama is joining forces with a slew of big names to get voters to the polls ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
When We All Vote, launched Thursday, aims to promote voter registration and “brings together citizens, institutions, and organizations to spark a conversation about our rights and responsibilities in shaping our democracy,” according to its website.
The group’s co-chairs include Obama, actor Tom Hanks, “Hamilton” playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda, singer and actress Janelle Monáe, NBA star Chris Paul, and country singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
“It’s time. Our nation requires it. Our democracy, in the country we love, requires our attention, voice and participation,” Obama says in the group’s launch video. “When we all vote, we determine our future.”
The video starts with Obama recruiting her all-star team.
“I’m not throwing away my ... opportunity to make my voice heard this November,” Miranda tells Obama in the video, referencing a line from “Hamilton.”
According to the site, When We All Vote is nonpartisan. But the group’s board includes former Obama administration officials such as Valerie Jarrett, Tina Tchen and Pete Rouse, Politico reported Wednesday. Obama’s participation in the nonpartisan initiative worries some Democrats who had hoped she would be a key advocate on the campaign trail this fall, according to Politico.
In addition to registering voters, the initiative will train volunteers to promote voter registration, working with the group Rock the Vote, and hold a “week of action” in September.
Obama has mostly kept a low profile since leaving the White House but has been engaged in several initiatives that she started while serving as first lady, with a focus on education and women’s issues. She is also writing a memoir, Becoming, that is set to be released this fall.
She and former President Barack Obama have hosted a number of events and projects through their foundation, are planning their presidential library in Chicago and recently announced a production deal with the streaming giant Netflix.
