Janelle Monáe for Paper Magazine 2019
Janelle Monáe covers the latest issue of Paper magazine. Here are a few excerpts from the piece!
On supporting the community: “I look to Indya Moore, Mj Rodriquez, Janet Mock (my Pose family)…Laverne Cox, those women are putting themselves and their lives on the frontline everyday. When their trans sisters and brothers get murdered, they feel it. We have to support them…It’s just a responsibility I feel. I could do better. I’ll do better.”
On coming out: “We have to make sure that we don’t pressure people to come out. Everybody doesn’t have the same set of circumstances. There are people, young people in particular, that will be cut off from their family, hanged or jailed if they walked in their truth. Folks who are not comfortable speaking out about your sexuality publicly, we see you and you are valid and you matter.”

#RHOA: Awwwwww, #TWIRL Kenya Moore Celebrates Her Baby Girl Brooklyn At Her Barbie-Themed Party!
Porsha Williams and baby Pilar Jhena were present for the bash. Both mommy and daughter wore matching dresses that were fit for a queen and princess. In fact, Porsha and Pilar wore headgear to spread the message of royalty being in the building.
Of course, no one could show up and out like the Queen of Twirl. Kenya and baby Brooklyn wore pink outfits that matched. The two were all smiles while in the spotlight. “The way Brooklyn looks at her momma,” one social media fan wrote after seeing a picture of Kenya and Brooklyn posing for the cameras. “#KenyaMoore this is everything,” the follower declared.
Brooklyn was definitely dressed to impress at her Barbie-themed party. Her outfit was the Tutu Cute Couture style by Iso Designs. Kenya added the perfect accessory to the dress with headgear that solidified Brooklyn as the princess of the evening. Kenya also had decorations that were spot-on and a three-tiered cake that was too fabulous for words.

#Empire: Oh? Serayah and Jacob Latimore Serenade Each Other in Adorable Instagram Video
Serayah and Jacob Latimore decided to take their low-key love to the next level. On Monday, the pair made it insta-official with a sweet video of them serenading one another.
The video showcases the singer and the Empire star lip syncing their duet “Caught Up", gazing into each other’s eyes and infectiously laughing at the other by the clip’s end. Last April, Jacob dropped his sophomore album Connection2, which has features from Serayah and Grown-ish actor Trevor Jackson.
WATCH HERE
The specific line the couple chose to record seemed to confirm what’s been speculated for months — that they are indeed in a relationship. “If I could pull you closer / Get my mind right / If you want me closer / Meet me on sight / Think that you know how to drive me crazy, That's 'cause you my shawty, you my baby.”
Serayah had slyly confirmed their relationship in an interview at the Cardi B x Fashion Nova launch party this spring, but the two have still managed to keep fans on their toes on where exactly their relationship stood. Serayah and Jacob, who’s currently on the second season of The Chi, have been popping up on each other's social feeds and were even spotted Netflix’s Last Summer premiere in April.

Is Stevie J & Faith Evans Having Trouble In Paradise with their Marriage?
The buzz began when The Jordans unfollowed each other on social media.
For the record, let me just say that I think this is dumb. People follow and unfollow each other every day, B.
If anything – it’s Stevie J’s tweets that really caused eyebrows to ascend…
Faith appeared to respond to Stevie’s tweets with a post of her own:
Let’s not forget what went down between Stevie J and Mimi Faust on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta“….when he tried to kiss her in the middle of their confrontation.
All I have to say is whatever these two are or aren’t going through as a married couple should never make it’s way to social media.
That’s the biggest issue of all. If your relationship lives for social media – it will also die by it!
Beth Chapman Wife of Duane "Dog" Chapman DEAD at 51 Will Be Cremated as Family Preps Final Arrangements
Sources close to the family say Beth's instructions were to have her remains cremated as part of the preparations for her final disposition.
It's currently unclear if the family plans on keeping her ashes in an urn, or spreading them at a special location. We're told the family is still figuring out what type of memorial they will have for the matriarch of the Chapman family.
The reality star tweeted following Beth's death, letting fans know that she passed away at the exact time she would get up every morning in Hawaii and hike to her favorite spot near the couple's home in Honolulu.
Beth Chapman, who starred alongside her husband Duane "Dog" Chapman on "Dog the Bounty Hunter," passed away on Wednesday after a long bout with cancer. She was 51.
Beth was hospitalized earlier this week after having extreme trouble breathing at home. We are told she experienced a choking incident at her home when she was unable to "catch her breath."
911 was called and Beth was rushed to the hospital. We're told doctors felt the need to place her in a medically induced coma to allow her body to recover from the traumatic medical emergency.
A ventilation tube was also inserted at the time to help with Beth's breathing. We're told doctors continued to treat her with oxygen as the family tried to make her as "comfortable as possible" while they prayed for a recovery.
On Saturday, Dog asked fans to pray for Beth after she was admitted to the ICU at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. He also thanked their fans "for their prayers throughout Beth’s battle with cancer.”
Ariana Grande Celebrates her Birthday with '7 Rings' Cake
Ariana Grande is ringing in her birthday in the best possible way, with a delicious cake inspired by her hit song. The 26-year-old was able to catch a quick birthday dinner Tuesday and revealed the sweet surprise presented by her inner-circle during dinner. Ariana was given a two-tier birthday cake topped with candles ... and 7 "diamond" rings, in honor of her song. She also shared a black and white video of her friends presenting the cake, which featured "Happy Birthday Ari" written in chocolate.
The singer also dropped some words of wisdom on her birthday, while showing a photo of herself dressed up ... including wearing a fancy pair of her trademark cat ears. "another year around the sun n she still wearing these f--in ears," Ariana wrote. She continued, "grateful for the love and for the people i get to share this life with. and thank u for the birthday wishes. :) p.s. i changed into an xxxl hoodie minutes after this was taken, don’t worry."
Ariana's birthday comes in the middle of her Sweetener World Tour, which began back in March.
Her special dinner went down in between stops after performing at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Monday and the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada on Wednesday.
Meek Mill is now the co-owner of sports apparel retailer Lids!
Meek Mill is now a co-owner of the sports-apparel retailer Lids after making an investment in the company. Adding the title "corporate co-owner" to his résumé, the rapper, entrepreneur, and criminal-justice-reform advocate Meek Mill is making his first move into the world of corporate ownership with an investment in the sports-apparel retailer Lids, he announced Wednesday in an exclusive interview with Business Insider.
Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, will become a co-owner of Lids, North America's largest retail seller of hats and licensed sports products. He'll also lead the company's creative strategy and release a limited-edition line of hats through the brand in August.
Mill joins the Lids ownership team by way of his close connection with Michael Rubin, the co-owner of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, the executive chairman of the sports retailer Fanatics, and a cofounder of Mill's Reform Alliance Foundation for criminal-justice reform. (Lids' ownership includes Rubin's Fanatics and the investment firm Ames Watson, which acquired Lids in February.)
Carmelo Responds To Cheating Claims After Photo Surfaces Of Him On Boat With his Daughter’s Mom!
Carmelo Anthony is speaking out for the first time about alleged questionable behavior, and it’s because he says he hasn’t done anything wrong and is upset people are trying to make trouble for his family.
There is a photo floating around of Carmelo, shirtless on a boat in the South of France, standing behind a woman in a leopard print swimsuit who is lying out in the sun. The photo is definitely not flattering, but in his defense, he is just standing there, spraying his face with something.
It didn’t take long for people to come to all sorts of conclusions about what was going on in the photo, so the 35-year-old NBA star (who is currently not attached to a team) quickly put out a video picked up by TMZ Sports. He refuted all stories that were beginning to pop up about him stepping out on La La. He said that while it looked like he was just on the boat with the woman, her husband and the rest of the couple’s family were present as well.
“I’m going to address this one time and one time only, and I’m really only addressing it for my family,” he said. “Keep my family out this, man. I’m over here trying to do my business retreat, I’m over here trying to have a good time, I’m on a boat with some friends. Them people are married man, they don’t got anything to do with anything. Y’all exposing somebody’s wife, y’all exposing somebody’s kids, all of that. Come on. Leave that alone, man, that ain’t cool! Now I got to deal with that. I got to deal with that with my son, I got to deal with that with my wife. That ain’t cool, man. That’s not cool at all. Let them people live. All them bloggers that’s trying to put that out there, that sh-t is not cool at all. It’s not cool at all. Let that family be they family. They married, let them people be them people. Them people some real discreet people. Y’all put them people out there like that, they don’t be in the world like that, they do their own thing. Y’all doing too much, man, and the only reason I’m addressing this is because this is affecting my family now, and y’all got me out here looking crazy. Usually I won’t address this but I had to address this. Can’t let this one slide because this sh-t ain’t cool no more. Peace.”
Carmelo’s video comes a day after he gushed over La La for her birthday, saying he was “lucky” to have her as his wife.
But rumors of infidelity are nothing new for Carmelo. He and La La separated in 2017 after rumors surfaced that he had a fathered a daughter with another woman. He has never refuted those claims and neither he nor La La have spoken on whether or not the child, Genesis, is his, but she bears a striking resemblance to him:
Genesis’ mother, Mia, has since responded to him speaking out about the photo:
Anywho…La La and Carmelo were able to work through things, and they have since officially reconciled.
For now!
Travis Scott’s Reese’s Puffs Cereal Sells Out In Less Than A Minute
Travis Scott's custom-edition boxes of Reese's Puffs were apparently a hot item.
Reese's Puffs says that, after going on sale Tuesday morning (June 25), the whole inventory of Scott's Reese's Puffs boxes sold out nearly immediately.
La Flame teamed up with General Mills for a limited-edition release, designing the packaging for his custom Reese's Puffs boxes and selling them for $50 a unit. The design was created by Travis himself and it features a cactus behind the bowl of cereal and lightning in the background with hand-drawn clouds and stars on the front. The back featured a map of the now-defunct Astroworld theme park in Houston that Travis named his third studio album and supporting world tour after, along with the words, "Wish you were here."
The rapper launched with a pop-up shop in Paris, where he was in town for Paris Fashion Week, while simultaneously putting the cereal up for sale online. The "more to come" portion of Reese's tweet seems to allude that another drop will happen, so it looks like fans will just have to remain patient for more information—or shell out what's likely to be some big bucks on a resale site.
Twitter Calls Out Kim Kardashian For Her White Savior Complex After She Claimed Jordyn Woods Is “Providing For Her Whole Family” Because of Kylie Jenner
A wise man once said, “Don’t eat with people that are going to brag about feeding you,” and apparently, Jordyn Woods learned that the hard way after the Tristan Thompson scandal. Over the weekend, E! released new clips of the forthcoming “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” season finale, which detailed the events leading up to and after the scandal.
In one of the clips, fans noticed an interesting hot-take from the wife of Kanye West, which in turn, displayed the family’s true feelings about the friend-turned-family-turned-enemy.
“She provides for her whole family off of what you have given her,” Kim Kardashian said, adding fuel to their Jordyn Woods hate-campaign.
However, the comment didn’t sit well with many for a few reasons, including the fact that Woods’ family was well-off before she met Jenner, Khloe and Tristan were broken up before the incident occurred, and the fact that Kim’s white savior complex jumped out.
“It’s cruel. What Kim said is unforgiveable,” one user wrote. “When you help a person out that you consider family, u don’t say it and call them out for the world to see. They thought we will join them drag Jordyn, no I don’t want any part of that.”
Now, we all know the Kardashian’s history with black men and women – outside of culture appropriation, is undeniably disturbing. Between the alleged Kardashian Kurse that has seemingly ruined the lives and careers of their black ex-boyfriends and the constant disregard of girl code, it’s almost unbelievable that Kim would utter such words about a girl that’s been like a sister to them. But, then again, are we really surprised? *Stares in Blac Chyna, Trina and Justine Skye…*
While, Woods’ relationship with Kylie Jenner may have catapulted her celebrity, to say she’s providing for her whole family off of what Jenner has given her, which is exposure, is absolutely insane. Would Jenner even look in Woods’ direction if she didn’t live in Hills with connections to the Smiths, would Woods have connections to the Smiths, if the family didn’t have any money?
“Kim must really have a white savior complex to say that Kylie gave Jordyn the ability to provide for her family,” Davia Lee said. “If Jordyn lived in the same zip code as Kylie to be able to go to school with her then her family obviously has money too.”
We already know Woods’ father worked on the set of “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which allowed Woods to build a relationship with the Smiths. Woods’ mother, Elizabeth, runs her own PR agency and manages the careers of several young artists, including her children. Her older brother is a tattoo artist, while her little sister has a following on Instagram.
As for Woods, as a teen, she gained first recognition as a plus size model, managed by Wilhelmina Models. Although she left the agency, she still went on to become one of the most popular plus size models in the world, now working under her mother’s agency.
With the Kardashian’s history of profiting off of their proximity to black people and cultural appropriation, fans were pissed that Kim let her white savior complex show, in thinking without them, she’d be “nothing.”
“Okay, yuck. @KimKardashian your dig at Jordyn Woods “providing for her family with what Kylie has given her” was so steeped in a white savior complex that you are BEYOND trash,” Sherae Speaks said. “Remember that you provided for your whole family with the orgasms Ray J gave you. Heffa. #KUWTK
Although Woods was wrong for her part in the scandal, did it really warrant an entire hate campaign? What do you think?
Her name is 'Manic McCain!’ That’s what The View producers have branded co-host Meghan McCain
According to the Daily Mail Producers at The View are now calling the show's co-host Meghan McCain 'Manic McCain' after a series of new blow-ups on camera and off
On Tuesday, the daughter of the late Senator John McCain lost her cool during a commercial break following a segment where she confused Willamette College of Law Professor Warren Binford - who appeared on CNN to describe viewing the horrific immigration conditions for children - with Sarah B. Fabian, a Justice Department lawyer that McCain called a 'holdover from the Obama administration.'
The on-air snafu caused the show's moderator Whoopi Goldberg to restart the segment, and they tried to have the conversation again. But during the commercial break all hell broke loose.
'Meghan became unhinged! She screamed, ''This is some bullsh*t! What are you producers good for?'''
'As usual, a bunch of producers ran to calm her, but before they could she turned to the show's executive producer Brian Teta and said,''You motherf***er, how could you let this happen to me?''
'All of this happened in front of the live studio audience.'
Producers worked to get McCain to cool off before the commercial break ended. Though they did not address the mix-up right after they returned, ABC News had co-host Sunny Hostin deliver a legal note of clarity in the final segment of the show.
'I want to clarify what we were talking about during Hot Topics,' Hostin said, before identifying both women by their proper name and role. 'Two different women, two different topics.'
Before Hostin could finish, 34-year-old McCain blurted out: 'I screwed up. Thank you for fixing it Sunny.'
Disrespecting the executive producer Teta caused human resources to come in to meet with McCain following Tuesday's live broadcast.
However, sources at the show says not to expect any action to be taken against her.
Those behind the scenes at The View know that despite her bad behavior, McCain isn't going to be terminated by ABC News.
'Top ABC News executive James Goldston is Meghan's biggest fan. Despite what she's done to morale behind the scenes at the show and despite the viewer feedback on her being dreadful, he's enamored with her family legacy.
'At this point, Meghan is starring in the talk show version of How To Get Away With Murder,' explained the source.
When contacted about the incident, an ABC spokesperson responded: 'Meghan has a great relationship with Executive Producer Brian Teta. Their exchange during the commercial break was playful and nothing more. Making something more of it is completely ridiculous.'
By the time the show wrapped, both The View and McCain respectively were already trending on Twitter and viewers of the show were outraged by both her blunder and dismissing the severity of what the children being separated from their parents are enduring at the border to how her late father was tortured as a prisoner of war.
Tuesday's profanity-laced blow-up with Teta follows McCain's on-air outburst last week when she called her regular rival and original The View co-host Joy Behar a bi**h on live TV.
During a back and forth over why Trump supporters like him so much, McCain bemoaned: 'I'm the sacrificial Republican every day.'
Behar sarcastically replied, 'Awwww,' which made McCain angry.'Don't feel bad for me, bi**h,' she lashed back, pointing her finger at Behar as the crowd groaned. 'I'm paid to do this. OK? Don't feel bad for me.'
Hostin immediately interjected and challenged McCain, but the resident conservative claimed that she and Behar call each other that word all the time.
Sources say despite McCain's behavior, she isn't going to be terminated by ABC News because ABC News President James Goldston (pictured) is 'Meghan's biggest fan'
Many are hoping that McCain's inability to control her temper and her erratic impulses causes her to up and quit one day. And as one network source told us: 'That day couldn't come soon enough!'
'When Meghan says her prayers at night she should thank God almighty that Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie are no longer the executive producers of this show.
'They would have never tolerated her awful behavior, disrespect of the staff and co-hosts, and more so, they would have listened to the audience. When the audience started hating a co-host, the co-host was let go,' the source concluded.
Regardless of the turmoil at the show, the New York Times magazine just called the daytime talk show 'the Most important political TV show in America' and ratings for the series are averaging about 3million views daily, the closest the show has been in years to its 2008 season when Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd premiered as new hosts.
Brody Jenner Gets Roasted For Repeatedly Calling Dad Caitlyn Jenner 'He' On 'The Hills: New Beginnings'
Brody Jenner is being slammed online by fans after repeatedly referring to father Caitlyn Jenner as “he” on the premiere episode of The Hills: New Beginnings. The reality star didn’t use the proper pronouns while discussing his dad’s gender transition and people were quick to diss him.
Brody, 35, made the mistake while discussing Caitlyn's choice to choose the same female name as his wife, Kaitlynn Carter.
"My dad, he also became a woman — don’t want to forget about that one. I had been dating Kaitlynn Carter for four and a half years, and my dad came out and said that he wanted to be called Caitlyn. Two Caitlyns. Look man, it’s a wild world we live in out there, you know," he told castmate Frankie Delgado in one scene.
Fans and the LGBTQ community couldn't let the oversight slide and roasted the Malibu native on social media.
"Brody Jenner remains a pile of trash + seems to really enjoy purposely misgendering Caitlyn Jenner," one user wrote on Twitter. "The Hills reboot has delivered everything and more: Whitney reaction shots, Audrina staring blankly, so many f**king crystals, Brody being a t**l and misgendering Caitlyn," wrote another.
Brody's half sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner both refer to Caitlyn as a "she," but got permission from the I Am Cait star to continue calling her their "dad." Brody and Caitlyn's strained relationship has been extensively documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Caitlyn skipped Brody's wedding in Bali in 2018 to attend an event in Vienna, Austria.
What do you think of Brody misgendering Caitlyn?
Eminem's estranged father dies at 67 after heart attack
Eminem's estranged father, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr., has died at 67 due to a heart attack.
The rapper had no relationship with his father, who married his mother when she was 15 and left the family not long after Eminem (whose legal name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III) was born. As a teenager, Eminem wrote letters to the dad he never met, all of which came back "return to sender," according to a 1999 Rolling Stone cover story.
The elder Marshall Mathers moved from Missouri to California upon leaving his wife and baby in the 1970s, but he reportedly died at his home near Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The area is about a three-hour drive from the Michigan region where Eminem currently resides.
Eminem's mother, Debbie, said in 2008 that her ex was "abusive" and "hard-drinking."
Is Wendy Williams looking to move her show to Los Angeles?
Wendy Williams is not only looking to divorce longtime husband Kevin Hunter, but she is also reportedly contemplating cutting the proverbial umbilical cord to her beloved mansion, to New York City and to the entire East Coast, for that matter.
Stunting with her newfound freedom, along with new her boy toy, Williams fell in love with the Left Coast and Southern California specifically.
Rob Shuter, host of the popular podcast “Straight Shuter: Naughty But Nice,” revealed on his show that the face of her own self-titled talk show may be loading the U-Haul for the move out west after 10 years in the Big Apple — if she has her way.
“New York will always be associated with her ex, Kevin. Wendy wants to start over and is talking about picking up her show and moving it to LA,” sources told Shuter, according to RadarOnline.
It would be hard, one imagines, to give up her roots. She has been lording over ‘The Wendy Williams Show, which began in 2008, in New York City. Prior to that, Wendy was one of the nation’s most popular and controversial radio deejays. (She was where Charlamagne Tha God, who she hired, is now.)
But, as was reported copiously in the media, Wendy had the time of her life when she flew to LA for Pride weekend and hung out with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. But it was with her new gal pal Blac Chyna, Rob Kardashian’s ex-girlfriend, that Williams happened upon a young man named Marc Tomblin.
Williams, 54, and Tomblin, 27, have been inseparable ever since, though she is careful to say that he is just a friend and that she has no boyfriend at this time. (Some speculate Wendy’s hesitation to say she is dating stems from the fact she is still legally married to Hunter.)
Speaking of Hunter, Williams fired him from his dual role as her personal manager and co-producer of her talk show at the same time she filed for divorce from him. Moving to Los Angeles would provide even further separation from Hunter and would constitute a real fresh start for her.
“Wendy loved her recent trip to California and is convinced the show will get better guests if it moves out west. She wants to be far away from Kevin so he can’t just show up at the studio,” sources told Shuter.
The DOJ sues Omarosa for not submitting financial forms
The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman for allegedly failing to file a required financial disclosure report after her 2017 firing.
The civil complaint alleges that the former “Apprentice” star “knowingly and willfully” failed to “file the required public financial disclosure report after her employment terminated with the Executive Office of the President.”
The suit claims that Manigault Newman was given a “post-government employment briefing” in December 2017, after her firing, in which “she was advised of her obligation … to file a termination financial disclosure report” within 30 days as part of the Ethics in Government Act.
Manigault Newman, who served as director of communications for the office of public liaison during her government tenure, allegedly ignored multiple email requests from the Justice Department, as well as the White House Counsel’s Office, reminding her to complete and return the requested documents.
A White House attorney had emailed the controversial reality star after the 30-day deadline had passed to warn that she might face a $200 late filing fee, but she continued to not respond to repeated efforts to get in touch with her.
The offense is punishable by a fine of $50,000, which the government is requesting the ex-White House staffer be charged.
The former Trump ally saw her relationship with the president go up in flames after she was fired by John Kelly and began releasing tapes of encounters she had with other Trump officials.
After her ouster, media reports began circulating that Manigault Newman had been physically dragged out of the White House after her contentious termination.
She denies those allegations, but that didn’t keep her from becoming a Trump target on social media.
In a statement, Manigault Newman’s lawyer John Phillips told The Post: “The White House chooses to abuse process and use the Department of Justice to carry out retaliation. The lawsuit alleges that Omarosa Manigault Newman ‘knowingly and willfully’ failed to file a report. This is untrue.”
