John Legend and Chrissy Teigen for Vanity Fair - December 2019!
Get ready for cuteness overload! Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and their two kids, Luna and Miles, graced the cover of Vanity Fair's December 2019 issue, which was released on Monday. The family photo showed the 40-year-old EGOT winner kissing the 33-year-old cookbook author's cheek while their little ones snuggled up next to them. The kiddos certainly stole the show, too. Their 3-year-old daughter gave a sweet smile as she playfully kicked up her foot for the camera. Just like her mom, she was also a total fashionista, wearing a dress by AMAIA. As for her 1-year-old baby brother, he looked adorable as he posed in his diaper and nestled in his dad's arms.
The cover wasn't the only precious pic in the issue. There were also photos of the family members enjoying an impromptu dance party in their backyard, dressing up in costumes and enjoying a bubble bath. What's more, there was a sweet snapshot of Legend and his son sitting at the piano.
In addition, readers got a small glimpse into the family's household. For instance, the writer set the scene of a typical Sunday afternoon. According to the magazine, Luna was "running away" from her baby brother, "who desperately wants to hug her." The little lady also wore a bright orange, one-shoulder bathing suit and asked her dad to put on his trunks. Apparently, the "All of Me" artist had promised to take her for a swim after her nap. But after they jumped in and found the water to be too cold, they decide to give it another go the next day.
"Did you hear that? It will be better tomorrow," Legend told Luna. "Tomorrow, we rise and shine."
Luna also revealed what she wanted to be for Halloween this year, claiming she hoped to dress up as a good fairy. When Teigen questioned this decision, noting Luna had previously expressed a desire to be Darla from The Little Rascals, her firstborn, as the writer put it, gave "her best attempt at an eye roll."
"I hate pretending that we do it on our own," Teigen said after a nanny put her son down for a nap. "We have daytime help, nighttime, weekend. I don't know how my mom did it."
Family was certainly a focus of the cover story. During their interviews for the piece, Legend and Teigen opened up about their upbringings and the hardships they both had to overcome. They also talked about several other topics, including who they plan to vote for in the 2020 presidential election, Teigen's Twitter feud with president Donald Trump and her battle with anxiety. According to Vanity Fair, Teigen said her anxiety can prevent her from holding onto memories, whether they be good ones or bad ones. For instance, her wedding day is reportedly a blur as is the time in high school when her mother went to Thailand and didn't come home for years. In addition, the two stars talked about their relationships with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
"I'm not trying to disown Kanye because I still love him and love everything we've done together creatively," Legend told the publication. "But we were never the closest of friends."

#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey Teases "Personal Closure" With Nene Leakes!
The drama in Hotlanta is unavoidable for Cynthia Bailey.
Ahead of The Real Housewives of Atlanta's premiere, the Bravo star dropped by Daily Pop to answer all of our burning questions about the new season.
For starters, viewers are going to get a front-row seat to Cynthia's changing dynamic with NeNe Leakes.
"We are in a better place than we were at the reunion, which was an awful place. But we're not where we used to be but you guys will see how it all plays out," she teased to E! News' Justin Sylvester and Carissa Culiner exclusively. "It was really hard for me this season because—you know how it is with friends—regardless of where we're at, I still have love for her. I still have love for her family. It's not like I just want to fight with Nene."
Cynthia continued, "I got a lot of personal closure this season. I'm in a great place in my life. I'm about to get married. I want to be around happy people that like me."
While fans may be used to seeing the businesswoman out of most fights, this season may be a whole new experience.
"I pride myself on not being the one who's usually in the thick of the drama but I have to say season 12 is kind of different for me," she teased. "If the drama's not about me, I'm right next to it like it's crazy."
Ultimately, Cynthia is in a happy place as she plans her dream wedding with fiancé Mike Hill. The couple has set a date for 2020 and have a location locked down.
As for how Mike is handling the spotlight with Bravo cameras rolling, Cynthia admits it's a whole new environment.
"It's so hard when you are in a relationship on the show," she confessed. "I got married on the show first season and I will say for him, he's not in Atlanta full time. He doesn't get to spend a lot of time with the guys. He's trying to fit in."
See for yourself when Real Housewives of Atlanta kicks off a brand-new season Sunday night at 8 p.m. only on Bravo.
#Empire: Donald Trump Compares Jussie Smollett “Scam” To Impeachment During BIZARRE Chicago Speech!
President Donald Trump went off on actor Jussie Smollett in a speech in Chicago on Monday, comparing Smollett’s claim of a MAGA-fueled hate crime earlier this year to the Democrats’ current impeachment inquiry.
“It is a scam. A real big scam. Just like the impeachment of your president is a scam,” Trump said to cheers before a crowd at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference.
He added, “Then you look what is going on. Smollett is still trying to get away with it. He would have been better off is he paid his $100,000 bill.”
The city of Chicago sued Smollett to recover about $130,000 in police overtime as officers investigated his claims that he was attacked early one morning in January. A federal judge last week refused to throw out the case.
Smollett, who was then a cast member on “Empire,” reported that his attackers yelled “MAGA country.” That is a reference to Make America Great Again, Trump’s campaign slogan.
But police said that they believed that Smollett staged the attack. Smollett was indicted on more than a dozen charges, but those counts were dropped weeks later. The abrupt dimissal of the charges is now the subject of a separate probe.
Smollett has maintained that he was innocent.
Trump initially expressed concerns about the attack. “I can tell you that it’s horrible. It doesn’t get worse,” he told reporters on Jan. 31.
But after Smollett was arrested for staging the attack, Trump wrote on Twitter, “What about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments!? #MAGA.”
In his speech in Chicago, Trump appeared to refer to Smollett’s actions as a “hate crime.”
“Then you have the case of this wise guy Jussie Smollett, who beat up … himself,” Trump said to laughs from the crowd.
And he said MAGA country did it. MAGA country. That’s a hate crime. a hate crime,” Trump said.

In honor of its fifth anniversary, Future officially unleashes his mixtape, Monster, on all streaming services for the first time.
Released on October 28, 2014, Monster has racked up 150 million streams on SoundCloud and spawned fan favorites “Codeine Crazy” and “My Savages,” as well as the double-platinum smash “Fuck Up Some Commas,” which was later released as the first single from his third album DS2. The original featured 16 tracks, while there are 13 songs on the re-release including one sole appearance from Lil Wayne on “After That.”
Taking to Instagram, Future reflected on the milestone and paid tribute to his late engineer, Seth Firkins. “I’ve always spoke through my music and the people championed my trials and tribulations whole heartedly with no regards,” he wrote. “Remember #MONSTER 5years later this classic is available on all platforms, Thanks for the love #RIPSETH.”
The prolific Atlanta rapper is now prepping more music and surprises soon. According to a press release, the “re-release paves the way for his other game-changing mixtapes to also potentially see official release.”

Kirk Franklin Boycotts Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards, Says ”They Edited The African American Experience”!
Gospel singer Kirk Franklin is not happy with the Dove Awards. The Grammy award-winning singer is so displeased with recent events that he’s actually decided to boycott the awards. Monday, Franklin announced via his social media platforms that he would no longer attend any events associated with the Dove Awards, GMA, or TBN. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Not only did they edit my speech, they edited the African American experience,” Franklin said.
While accepting the Gospel Artist of the Year award, in real-time, at the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards earlier this month, Franklin addressed a police shooting that occurred a few days prior.
“A young girl by the name of Atatiana Jefferson was shot and killed in her home by a policeman, and I am just asking that we send up prayers for her family and for his, and asking that we send up prayers for that 8-year-old little boy that saw that tragedy,” he said.
When the show aired almost a week later, it had been edited significantly to fit the two-hour window, according to GMA, and did not include Kirk’s portion of the speech regarding the shooting.
Since Kirk’s announcement, the GMA has issued a deeply apologetic statement clarifying their intent was never to disregard or silence any of their artists. However, this is not the first time Franklin’s statement was edited. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2016, at the Dove Awards, he spoke about police brutality and called on other Christian artists to speak out about racial injustices as well. That speech was also edited before being aired on TBN.
WATCH
The GMA said they take full responsibility for their error and apologize for its unintentional effects. “We accept the responsibility of our error. Although completely unintentional, we understand it caused great harm and deeply wounded many in the African American and Gospel community,” the association said, adding that they have also reached out to the singer to discuss possible solutions moving forward.
Tiffany Haddish Gets Help From Billy Crystal After Falling Down on 'Here Today' Set!
Billy Crystal helps Tiffany Haddish get up after taking a tumble on top of some garbage cans!
The 71-year-old City Slickers actor and the 39-year-old The Kitchen actress were spotted filming their new comedy movie Here Today in New York City.
For the scene, Tiffany got shoved down by passerbys and sported a scraped knee before Billy came to her rescue.
The were also seen chatting and sharing a hug. Tiffany showed off three different looks during the day of shooting.

Tyrese Gibson says 'Black and Blue' is being banned from certain theaters!
Tyrese Gibson and director Deon Taylor are claiming that their cop thriller Black and Blue is being banned in certain theaters.
In a series of Instagram posts by Gibson, the actor says fans can't even get access to the film on theater websites.
"So they have now banned our movie from certain chains and when you swipe and pay for Black and Blue it swaps for ANOTHER movie that they’re showing....????," Gibson says, captioning a video of Taylor showing that the audience reviews on opening night were at 95 percent.
Taylor adds that theaters have been misprinting tickets and that certain chains refuse to play the movie because of its content. The film follows a rookie cop being targeted by a group of corrupt cops after she witnesses an officer murder a drug dealer.
Tyrese continues, "I hate to be one of those that speak to racism so I will let YOU tell me what you think is going on..????"
In another Instagram post, the actor shares clips from the film and continues to complain about the alleged ban.
"I’m sorry you’re dealing with this Deon damn man They wanna ban our movie..?," he says. "Go there anyway and demand that your money goes towards the right movie...... This s*** feels like voter suppression:.?? Wtf is going on."
It appears Tyrese's relentless promotion throughout the weekend has taken its toll. In a new Instagram, Gibson shared a photo of himself in the hospital with a message about his health.
"Ya’ll know they can’t keep a good man down for long..... #HealthIsWealth," he wrote. "Damn near 700+ interviews in the last 2 weeks for our little beloved #BlackAnsBlueMovie...Out of here in a few hours (hopefully)."
LeBron James Forced To Evacuate After Wildfire Ravages Neighborhood!
The James family had to evacuate their home early Monday morning (October 28) due to the wildfires that are burning throughout California.
LeBron James took to Twitter as he, his wife and their three children looked for a hotel room after thousands of Southern California residents were ordered to leave their homes as the Getty Fire, as they're calling it, began making its way toward their Brentwood neighborhood.
"Man these LA 🔥 aren’t no joke. Had to emergency evacuate my house and I’ve been driving around with my family trying to get rooms. No luck so far! 🤦🏾♂️," the Los Angeles Lakers star wrote.
He later added, "Finally found a place to accommodate us! Crazy night man! I 🙏🏾 for all the families in the area that could be affected by these 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 now! Pretty please get to safety ASAP. My best wishes as well to the first responders⛑ right now doing what they do best! 🙏🏾💪🏾."
According to the Los Angeles Times, "The Getty fire broke out shortly after 1:30 a.m. along the 405 Freeway near the Getty Center and spread to the south and west, rapidly burning more than 500 acres and sending people fleeing from their homes in the dark." The fast-moving blaze reportedly led to about 10,000 structures being placed under mandatory evacuation orders.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti urged residents under the mandatory evacuation order to leave their homes. “Get out when we say get out,” he insisted. “The only thing you cannot replace is you and your family.”
Hours before the evacuation, LeBron and the Lakers beat the Charlotte Hornets at Staples Center in LA. The Lakers are set to play again Tuesday night (October 29) against the Memphis Grizzlies.
It's unclear if the wildfires will affect the matchup.

JoJo Simmons and Tanice Amira GOT MARRIED!
Another celebrity couple has made the journey down the aisle. JoJo Simmons, the eldest son of Rev Run, and his longtime girlfriend Tanice Amira have tied the knot in a lavish New Jersey ceremony. Held at the opulent Legacy Castle, the couple exchanged vows and then partied the night away with hundreds of guests their to witness the union.
Jojo’s sister, Angela Simmons, and nephew Sutton rocked custom made suits to the ceremony.
JoJo’s big sister Vanessa rocked a beautiful black and white dress with a high slit and studded belt. Stunner!
Perhaps one of the sweetest moments was JoJo, Angela and Vanessa’s children all hanging out together at the reception. These adorable faces are melting our hearts!
Of course, it only made sense that the dance floor was packed when Jagged Edge’s “Let’s Get Married” remix feature Rev Run came on. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons looked like they were having a ball.
It was an entire family affair as the crowd witnessed two become one.
JoJo and Tanice wished their could have been even more friends and family in the room, but unfortunately had to put a cap on the guest list. Following the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons issued an apology to family members that didn’t get an invite.
JoJo and Tanice have been dating for nine years and share a daughter together. The couple became engaged in August 2018. JoJo popped the question with a dazzling cushion cut diamond ring. Exquisite taste, good sir!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Simmons.
Robert Evans, Producer of ‘Chinatown’ and Former Head of Paramount Studios, Dies at 89!
Robert Evans, the protean, fast-living Hollywood producer and former Paramount Pictures production chief who backed such seminal 1970s films as “Chinatown,” ”The Godfather” and “Harold and Maude,” has died. He was 89.
Evans publicist, Monique Moss, confirmed that Evans died on Saturday. No other details Monday were immediately available.
His career was a story of comebacks and reinventions. Evans had launched a successful women’s clothing line with his brother, Charles, and was visiting Los Angeles on business when actress Norma Shearer saw him sunbathing by the pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She persuaded producers to hire the handsome, dark-haired 26-year-old to play her late husband, movie mogul Irving Thalberg, in “Man of a Thousand Faces,” a film about horror movie star Lon Chaney.
After acting roles faded, Evans re-emerged at Paramount and quickly converted the studio from a maker of mediocre films to the biggest hit machine in Hollywood, home to “The Godfather” and “Love Story” among others.
For decades, and with many flops in between, the ever-tanned, large glasses-wearing Evans was one of Hollywood’s most outsized and flamboyant personalities, encapsulating the romance of a now bygone movie era where films were greenlit more on instinct than market research. He was married and divorced seven times. He was the model for Dustin Hoffman’s petty-minded Hollywood producer in the 1997 satire “Wag the Dog.”
“The higher you get, the lower you can fall,” Evans mused in a 2003 interview. “You pick yourself up at the count of nine, you come back and win and be done with it. I believe in being a survivor.”
The title of his 1994 memoir, “The Kid Stays in the Picture” (later turned into a 2002 documentary) came from an early story of his improbable success.
After he appeared in “Man of a Thousand Faces” Darryl Zanuck signed Evans to a contract at Twentieth Century Fox and cast him as a bullfighter in “The Sun Also Rises.” The filmmakers insisted the young actor wasn’t right for the role, so Zanuck went to Mexico City, where the film was being made, to see for himself.His verdict: “The kid stays in the picture.”
It was Evans who optioned “The Godfather” while Mario Puzo was writing it. As Paramount chief, Evans presided over Francis Ford Coppola’s production but his role in the movie, itself, has sometimes been exaggerated — including by Evans, himself. But Coppola, recalled Evans fondly on Monday, recollecting the producer’s “charm, good looks, enthusiasm, style and sense of humor.”
“He had strong instincts as evidenced by the long list of great films in his career. When I worked with Bob, some of his helpful ideas included suggesting John Marley as Woltz and Sterling Hayden as the Police Captain, and his ultimate realization that ‘The Godfather’ could be 2 hours and 45 minutes in length,” said Coppola, also noting Evans’ contributions to “The Cotton Club.”
“May the kid always stay in the picture,” added Coppola.
Evans was born Robert J. Shapera in New York, the second son of Archie Shapera, a dentist, and his wife, Florence, a homemaker. He began acting in radio while in junior high school, going on to appear in more than 300 shows.
After “The Sun Also Rises,” Evans left Hollywood to join his brother in the clothing business, but was lured back in 1966 when Zanuck offered him a three-picture contract as a producer. That same year Paramount Pictures hired him to head production.
From 1966 to 1974 Evans presided over such hits as “The Odd Couple,” ”Rosemary’s Baby” and “Goodbye, Columbus.” He was a pivotal figure not only restoring Paramount but in a halcyon period of auteur-driven moviemaking, backed storied directors including Sidney Lumet, Hal Ashby and Peter Bogdanovich.
Albert Ruddy, who won an Oscar as producer of “The Godfather,” credited Evans with filling an essential role in the picture’s success. When Paramount’s head of distribution objected to the nearly three-hour running time, Evans backed up the filmmakers and insisted that the movie not be cut.
“He said, ‘I’ll quit before I cut the movie,'” Ruddy said Monday. “He saved the movie.”
Evans didn’t share in Paramount’s prosperity, however. He wasn’t granted any bonuses, and his string of marriages and divorces drained away much of the money he did make. After brief marriages to actresses Sharon Hugueny and Camilla Sparv, he married MacGraw, who became a star with her performance in “Goodbye, Columbus.” She gave birth to Evans’ only child, Joshua.
MacGraw became a superstar after “Love Story,” then went off to Texas to spend four months making “The Getaway” with Steve McQueen, with whom she had one of Hollywood’s more notable affairs. She and Evans divorced in 1972 and he married former Miss America Phyllis George in 1977. They split a year later.
Meanwhile, Evans had formed his own production company, and he quickly turned out one of the biggest hits of 1974, Roman Polanski’s “Chinatown.” It earned Evans his lone Oscar nomination.
The next decades brought a period of failures, however, including Coppola’s “The Cotton Club,” and the “Chinatown” sequel “The Two Jakes” and the thrillers “Sliver” and “Jade.” In 1980 he pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and was placed on a year’s probation.
In 1983, he was called to testify at a preliminary hearing in the murder of a “Cotton Club” investor, Roy Radin. On the advice of his lawyers, Evans pleaded the Fifth Amendment. Although he was never connected to any wrongdoing, his refusal to testify to avoid self-incrimination further sullied his reputation.
He had a near-fatal setback in 1998 when he suffered a stroke in a Hollywood screening room.
“A bolt of lightning shot through my body,” he told a reporter later. “I thought I had died. I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing ‘It’s a Wonderful World.'”
Evans underwent a grueling rehab, but still found time for his fifth wedding, this time to Oxenberg. The marriage barely lasted longer than the couple’s five-day courtship. “My fault,” Evans said afterward. “My brain wasn’t working right.”
Wedding No. 6 occurred in 2002. The bride was Leslie Ann Woodward, a model and actress. Divorce followed a little more than a year later. In 2005, Evans married Lady Victoria White, a socialite 33 years his junior. At the time he had just finished his second memoir, “The Fat Lady Sang,” and he told Time magazine that with this marriage, “I finally found the last chapter.” But he and White also divorced, in 2006.
Evans’ last movie as a hands-on producer was a hit: the 2003 romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.”
“That’s the problem with today’s business,” Evans told the Los Angeles Times in 2002. “It’s not an art form, it’s a barter form. The studios are run by committees of MBAs, but I’ve never seen an MBA who knows how to make people cry.”
Kim Kardashian Reportedly Worried About Kanye’s Mental State Amid Upcoming “Jesus Is King” Tour!
Kim Kardashian says she is concerned about Kanye West’s upcoming “Jesus Is King” tour.
Mr. West is set to go on tour immediately for his latest project, “Jesus Is King,” his first Gospel album as an artist. Sources close to the Chicago native say he’s already in the beginning stages of planning the tour. “Kanye can’t wait to tour,” the source told PEOPLE. “He is excited about his new music. He is putting together a tour schedule right now. He wants to start the tour as soon as possible. He is in [a] much better place mentally than he was during his last tour.” The 2016 Saint Pablo Tour came to an abrupt stop when West was hospitalized for his mental health.
While Ye seems to be in high spirits, the one blessing he has yet to receive is from his wife, Kim, who is reportedly nervous about her hubby going on tour because of how the last one went down. “Kim supports a tour, but still has concerns,” the source added. “She doesn’t want him to go crazy and do an intense tour with no breaks. She wants him to focus on his well-being and mental health too.”
West dropped the 11-track album last Friday, which is now his eighth studio album. Fans have been giving mixed reviews on the project, but it’s expected to reach No.1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Garcelle Beauvais Assures RHOBH Fans That She’ll Bring The Drama Amid Worries There Won’t Be Any After Lisa Vanderpump’s Exit!
Garcelle Beauvais has some big plans for her first season as part of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! As you know, she is the one to replace Lisa Vanderpump and the new addition to the cast promises to bring a lot of drama to the table!
The actress was just announced and it sounds like she is already having the time of her life at the new job.
While in attendance at The Los Angeles Mission Legacy of Vision Gala, the 52 year old star chatted with HollywoodLife, dishing that ‘I’m enjoying it. I’m sort of feeling it out. You know what I mean? It’s new. I’ve never done reality before. I’ve always been an actor and you get scripts and you know what to do. So this has been really interesting. But so far so good. I can’t complain. I’m sure I will at some point.’
Since the next season will no longer have Lisa Vanderpump, most fans are convinced there will not be nearly as much drama on RHOBH without the OG.
However, Garcelle thinks differently! Not only that, but she promises to bring the drama herself!
‘You know, I think that’s wrong. I mean, I think like Lisa Vanderpump had her time and I think this is a new energy, you can’t compare. This is new energy, new life and new stories. And you can’t really compare. That was then, this is now. Everybody wants drama. There will be some…I mean, you’ve got to watch the show, but I will always keep it real.’
She also teased that, without a doubt, the show’s audience will be able to witness some pretty tense moments!
Are you looking forward to seeing Garcelle on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or not? Will you miss Lisa?
Eddie Murphy Credits Barack Obama for Return to Stand-Up Comedy!
It seem like more information about Eddie Murphy‘s return to stand-up comedy comes with each passing month.
The first official confirmation about his big comeback came in July when he appeared on Jerry Seinfeld’s Netflix series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.”
It was also reported around that time that Murphy was in talks with Netflix to do a series of comedy specials for a payout in the $70 million range.
His last comedy special was 1987’s “Raw,” and before that he performed in the special “Delirious,” released in 1983.
And in September of this year, the 58-year-old said he’d be going on a comedy tour in 2020 when he visited the Netflix podcast “Present Company with Krista Smith.”
Murphy also stopped by CBS’ “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” on Friday, Oct. 25, where he not only talked about hitting the comedy stage again, but he revealed that Barack Obama encouraged him to do so.
“I got this Mark Twain prize when I saw him in the White House,” Murphy explained. “And the first thing he asked me was ,’When you gonna do stand-up again?’ So I said ‘Maybe it’s time to do stand-up again.'”
The legendary actor and comedian then talked about returning to “Saturday Night Live,” the comedy sketch show that he was a member of from 1980 to 1984. The news of his return to the long-running series first came in August.
Meanwhile, on Colbert, Murphy said he’d more than likely be reprising some of his famous “SNL” characters, like Gumby and the Mister Rogers-like role he played in the sketch “Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood.”
“I look forward to going back and doing that stuff,” he said. “I hope it’s funny, though. You want the show to be really funny. If you’re going back, you want it to really be good, so I’m looking forward to it.”
Murphy can currently be seen in the Netflix film “Dolemite Is My Name,” where he plays comedian Rudy Ray Moore.

Uber, the popular rideshare company, continues to find innovative ways to change how we currently think of transportation. From car rides, scooters, and helicopters to flying taxis, Uber is trying to make Jetsons-like futuristic travel ideas available today.
According to reports, Uber is working with NASA to navigate and ensure safe, urban air traffic. The air taxi venture is intended to launch as a fully functional operation called Uber Elevate by the year 2023. The initial launch will be targeted for use in Los Angeles and Dallas, both major cities where traffic is unbearable. The company will seek to expand its presence in America and across the globe.
The company wants to be able to allow users to avoid traffic jams by offering air travel. This venture comes after the successful launch of the Uber helicopter trips that are currently being used in New York City. The 8-minute rides takes users between JFK airport and Manhattan for $200, avoiding a 1-2 hour traffic packed car ride.
Uber isn’t the only forward-thinking company out there. The startup company, Lilium is also in the testing phases of their version of a flying taxi, and experts predict that in 10 years, flying cars will be more prevalent in modern society.

Earlier this month, I told you Kate, who once worked as part of Flav’s management team, filed a paternity suit against him after he ghosted her when she became pregnant and had the baby.
Welp. A DNA test completed by LabCorp on October 21 says Flavor Flav, real name William Drayton Jr., is 99.9% the pappy.
Now that paternity has been established, Kate wants the courts to force Flav to take responsibility for his baby and pay child support.
