Kendall Jenner for Vogue Australia June 2019
Kendall Jenner’s portfolio is looking pretty good right now, having amassed a healthy amount of blue-chip advertising campaigns and magazine covers in recent months. She’s the current face of Roberto Cavalli, Stuart Weitzman, Calvin Klein, Tiffany & Co. and has recently been on the cover of Allure, Vogue Italia and Vogue Russia. So we aren’t surprised to see Vogue Australia welcoming the model of the moment back on its cover for a second time.

#EmpireStar: Lee Daniels Shopping 'Star' Following Fox Cancellation
The producer says he's "fighting" to keep the show alive and expects to hear from potential buyers soon.
Star co-creator Lee Daniels says he's "fighting" for a new home for the canceled Fox drama.
In an Instagram post, Daniels wrote next to a clip from the show, "Fighting guys! Will know this week…or top of next. I'm NOT letting them STOP the CULTURE. SORRY!"

A spinoff of Empire, Star ran for three seasons on Fox before being canceled ahead of the network's upfront presentation earlier in May. The show was a fairly stable ratings performer but never quite broke out; on top of that, following Disney's acquisition of producer 20th Century Fox TV and other 21st Century Fox assets, the series was set to come from an outside supplier at the same time the network's primetime real estate was shrinking with the addition of WWE Smackdown to Friday nights.

Cable networks BET and OWN are considered possible landing spots for Star.

Revivals of canceled shows are not unheard of — Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Designated Survivor and Lucifer are recent examples — but they're hardly the norm. In the past week, ABC briefly considered bringing back Whiskey Cavalier for a second season before deciding the action drama would remain canceled.

Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier said the decision to cancel Star was a tough one, noting that the network wanted to focus on promoting the final season of Empire in the fall

#HipHopNews: Legendary Hip Hop group EPMD is worming on a new Album!
EPMD is back in business. After seven albums and over 30 years of pumping out authentic, boom bap Hip Hop, Parish Smith and Erick Sermon have announced its first album in 11 years.

This is according to Hip Hop website HipHopDX they’ve thrown three titles in the ring — All Business, Major Business and Big Business. The iconic duo has recently returned from a trip to Africa, where Smith says they performed after being commissioned by the African government. Now that they’re back in the States, it’s — yep! — business as usual.

“The demand from the Hip Hop community, the previous dope shows we did like at The Apollo and the trip to Africa really made us want to do the album,” Smith tells DX. “It’s just time. Everything just comes back around. Like ‘Business As Usual,’ we gots to give the people what they want.

“It’s more or less being out in Hip hop and listening to what people are seeing. They want a real album like Strictly Business, Unfinished Business, Business As Usual or Business Never Personal.”


GOOD NEWS! Alex Trebek Reveals Some of His Tumors Have Shrunk by 50 Percent!
When Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, fans were shocked. But now the beloved Trebek has good news to share: He’s in “near remission,” according to doctors.
“It’s kind of mind-boggling,” the 78-year-old says, in PEOPLE’s new cover story. Although the cancer has a 9 percent survival rate, Trebek has been responding very well to chemotherapy. “The doctors said they hadn’t seen this kind of positive result in their memory…some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent.”

Still, that doesn’t mean the longtime Jeopardy! host is totally out of the woods yet.
Trebek says he’ll still have to go through several more rounds of chemotherapy to hopefully get into full remission, but he’s elated at how far he’s come.
He got emotional when he learned of the good news. “But they were tears of joy, not tears of depression,” he says. (Trebek has been honest about experiencing moments of deep sadness during the past three months.)

As for why he thinks he’s doing so well with the chemotherapy, which has left him weak and occasionally depressed, he mostly credits well wishes from fans and friends around the world.

Stars like Taron Egerton, Bryce Dallas Howard and Claudia Shiffer made sure to rise to the occasion with their chic and colorful outfits that were perfectly suited for the fun premiere.

Plus, accessories were available for those who wanted to add a touch of glamour to their ensembles. Members of the crowd were given star-shaped sunglasses, similar to the ones Elton John would sport, as well as masks that looked just like Taron in character.

NFL Quarterback Nick Foles Reveals His Wife Suffered a Miscarriage
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles took time away from the team to spend time with his family after revealing his wife suffered a miscarriage.

“As several of you knew, we were about 15 weeks pregnant with our 2nd baby,” Foles’ wife, Tori, wrote on Instagram. “Early Sunday morning after a rough couple days fighting a ‘virus’ of some sort, I went into sudden labor and knew something was wrong.”

She continued, “Not long after we learned we had miscarried our baby boy. To fully labor and deliver and even see our baby boy was a pretty devastating process. Come to find that I had contracted an infection of pneumonia in the blood. The emotions go back and forth from immense and overwhelming sadness, confusion and anger to a firm belief that God has this fully in his hands and will use this for good. We cannot always understand or explain, but we know that is true.”

Tori says she is home from the hospital and “recovering physically from the infection with antibiotics (already much better) as well as emotionally from this traumatic loss.”

Nick Foles, who signed with the Jaguars during the offseason, returned to practice on Thursday.

“GOT” Star Kit Harington Checks Into Wellness Retreat
“Game Of Thrones” actor Kit Harington has checked into a wellness retreat to recover from “personal issues” following the finale of the hit HBO show.

Let’s be honest: we all went through an emotional rollercoaster throughout the entire last season of #GOT. But our sadness can’t possibly equate to the amount the cast of the show felt, portraying these impactful stories on screen. Harington’s response to the series ending compelled him to admit himself into a wellness center. “Kit has decided to utilize this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues,” a representative for the actor said in a statement to CNN. However, according to Page Six, the actor checked in a few weeks before the finale aired for “stress and alcohol use.”

Harington has played #JonSnow on the hit show for its entire eight seasons but has spoken out about struggling with fame, as well how emotional it was to make the decision to seek help after the series ended. Harington described his last day of shooting GOT to Esquire, saying, “My final day of shooting, I felt fine. . . I felt fine. . . I felt fine. . . Then I went to do my last shots and started hyperventilating a bit,” Harington admitted. “Then they called, ‘Wrap!’ And I just f—ing broke down. It was this onslaught of relief and grief about not being able to do this again.”

The 32-year-old was captured in a video responding to the news that his character would be the cause of #EmiliaClarke’s death. Clarke plays #DaenerysTargaryen on the show. The show’s final season was received with mixed reviews. The last episode set a record with 19.3 million views, the most series ever received.


Where’s R9?!: Rihanna Fans In a Panic After She Changes Her Profile Picture on Twitter to a ”LinkedIn Headshot”
Rihanna’s Twitter page has a new look and fans believe it’s a sign that she won’t be returning to music.
From the former Twitter profile pic of the Fenty Beauty smize to a clean-cut, smiling headshot; it appears the singer-turned-fashion icon is focusing her energy on her booming fashion house, #Fenty. In doing so, she’s become the first woman ever to launch a fashion brand at #LVMH. While this news is amazing, it only has fans pressing more to find out if and when there will be new music.

The great thing is Ms. Fenty has confirmed there will be new tunes coming in the future. The bad gal had an interview with journalist and playwright Jeremy O. Harris, where she gave details about an upcoming album. The reggae album, she says, will likely be titled #R9; a name her Navy fan base pitched her online. “I’m about to call it that probably, ’cause they have haunted me with this “R9, R9, when is R9 coming out?” How will I accept another name after that’s been burned into my skull?”

However, Rihanna says the new music doesn’t have a release date. And although fans appear to be overjoyed over Rih’s continuous glow as a businesswoman, they aren’t taking the new Twitter change easily. In fact, Many felt this was a sign that she would never be handing over her album. This is how the internet responded to her revamped Twitter profile, as she moved to change her Fenty Savage header to a plain blue background. 
”Rihanna done put up the professional LinkedIn headshot as her profile picture, LMAOOOOO we ain’t never getting music again,” ODtheMC wrote, as others chimed in, saying, ”riri bout to start writin’ books.” 
”soon she gonna change ‘badgalriri’ to ‘robyn fenty’,” another said, as another wrote, ”When she said “you see me I be work work work work work work” we didn’t think she meant this kind🀧.”


Aliens, Droids and Starships: Images from new Star Wars Land at Disneyland!
ANAHEIM, Calif.— From animatronic aliens to droidprints in the ground, Disneyland's latest addition immerses visitors in a brand new locale in the "Star Wars" universe.
Every detail of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge land is meant to look and feel like it was plucked from a "Star Wars" film, whether it's the heads of fearsome creatures mounted on a shopkeeper's wall or the massive replica of the Millennium Falcon where visitors can dogfight with TIE fighters.
The 14-acre land, the largest expansion in Disneyland history, is set to open at the Anaheim, California, theme park on Friday. But it will remain one of the galaxy's most exclusive spots for several weeks, with reservations required to enter the area.

Disneyland on Wednesday hosted a preview for journalists, complete with fireworks and a ceremony attended by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas and three stars from the original trilogy: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Billy Dee Williams.
The preview event offered the first look of the completed expansion before it is mobbed by visitors lured by its enchantments, which include familiar foods from the films, lightsabers, personal droids for sale and encounters with characters from the latest films, including Kylo Ren, Rey and Finn.


Snoop Dogg Offers to Settle Rotimi’s $300K Debt to 50 Cent
Snoop Dogg has offered to settle Power star Rotimi's $300,000 debt to 50 Cent, left, after the rapper demanded his money in posts on social media.
The "In Da Club" hitmaker has earned a reputation as a loan shark and online debt collector, using his social media accounts to publicly shame those who allegedly owe him money.

His latest victim is actor/singer Rotimi, who stars alongside 50, real name Curtis Jackson, in hit U.S. TV show Power.
The 43-year-old rapper shared an Instagram video, referencing the singer's hit song "Walk With Me".
"My man you owe an outstanding $300,000 now WALK WITH ME to the bank," Fiddy said.

He gave Rotimi, real name Olurotimi Akinosho, until Monday, June 3, to pay the alleged debt, or the online attacks will continue.

Rotimi, who plays low-profile drug dealer Dre in the hit TV series, insisted he doesn't owe 50 anything. "I don't owe 50 money. The thing is, my record number one, I just bought a crib, I'm taking care of my family. Why now? Why wait 'til Walk With Me is number one?"
Snoop Dogg stepped in and offered to settle the debt to prevent the show's producer, Fiddy, from taking petty revenge by killing off Rotimi's character.

"I don't want (his character) to get killed on Power," Snoop said in an Instagram video. "I think you gonna kill him next 'cause he owe you money."
Snoop, 47, offered to settle the debt, saying, "I'm gonna pay you, how much he owe you? Let's talk about it, let's figure it out. Don't kill him, I'll pay you for him."
50 then shared Snoop's Instagram clip on his own page and wrote: "Damn ok, n**ga got @snoopdogg involved. smh [shake my head]."

50 has previously embarrassed and humiliated singer/songwriter Teairra Mari and actor/producer Jackie Long, as well as Randall Emmett, a fellow producer on Power, for allegedly owing him money.
50, who once competed in the Junior Olympics as a boxer, survived 9 gunshot wounds in 2000. He was discovered by rapper Eminem who introduced him to mega producer Dr. Dre that same year. Eminem, left, 50 Cent, center, and Dre, right, are pictured arriving at the Shady National Convention to launch Shade 45, a new satellite radio station, in NYC on Oct. 28, 2004.


Netflix On The Verge Of Boycotting Georgia Amid Controversial Anti-Abortion Bill
Abortion has been a hot topic in the media as politicians have been using their power to control women's bodies.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed into law one of the nation's most restrictive abortion bans, which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. A heartbeat can be detected as early as six weeks into pregnancy. He signed the bill into law on May 7th and it's set to go into effect January 1st.

Now, Hollywood is taking action. Netflix is the first (and only at the moment) Hollywood studio to speak out against the anti-abortion bill. The streaming giant is considering boycotting the state of Georgia in response to the passed bill. A slew of Hollywood movies and television shows are filmed in GA due to the state's tax incentive. Production companies get a 30% tax break for filming in the southern state. Netflix's "Stranger Things" (which returns July 4th) is filmed there, but it may not any longer.

Powerhouse female creators - including “The Handmaid’s Tale” director Reed Morano and the Oscar-nominated writing team behind “Bridesmaids,” Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo - are speaking out and have already reportedly axed plans to film in Georgia, according to Variety.

“It’s hard to wake up every day feeling like I’m growing up in my mother’s generation,” veteran producer Lori McCreary, former president of the Producers Guild of America and CEO of Revelations Entertainment said. “I don’t have anything that’s shooting in those locations, but I would give it a second thought in those states because I think it’s important for us to support [women].”

“We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law,” Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, told Variety.

Talks of boycotting the entire state has been gaining momentum. Some high profile filmmakers - including Jordan Peele, J.J. Abrams, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Ron Howard, and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment - have seemingly decided not to boycott, but they have pledged to donate their salaries and fees to the ACLU and local activist groups who are fighting the legislation.
“It’s why we will work with the ACLU and others to fight it in court,” Sarandos continued. “Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we’ll continue to film there, while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to. Should it ever come into effect, we’d rethink our entire investment in Georgia,” Sarandos said.

Big media companies like Walt Disney Co., Sony Pictures, Warner Media, Viacom, Fox, and Amazon Studios have yet to address the anti-abortion ban. Netflix is leading the charge in taking a stand against threats to women’s reproductive rights.
Thankfully, Georgia lawyers announced last week that they will not prosecute women for getting an abortion.

Shout out to Netflix for standing up for and supporting women in this way!
