Victoria Beckham for Vogue Poland - December 2019!

She is a parent to her four children with husband David. And Victoria Beckham admitted the fact she is a 'good mother' is what she likes most about herself during a chat with the December issue of Vogue Poland.

The fashion designer, 45, posed for a series of chic shots alongside the interview in a selection of elegant suits from her VB pre-collection, including a stunning green velvet two-piece.

At this time of year, there is nothing better than adding a hint of luxury to your wardrobe. And what’s the best way to do that you ask - with some velvet, of course!

Every winter is an excuse to indulge in a new shade, and this one why not try green like Victoria Beckham? The designer was giving us a little inspiration as she modeled this two-piece from her Resort 2020 collection in the glossy pages of Vogue Poland as styled by Daniela Agnelli.

We love the tailored '70s vibe of the single-breasted blazer and wide-leg trousers, which she wore with a printed crepe shirt, but the color is what really stands out. It’s ideal for styling as separates for the office before slipping on as a co-ord with heels to dance the night away.

Sadly, the exact suit isn’t available to buy just yet, but you we’ve rounded up similar sets below from the likes of Gucci, Halogen and Jucca. So no matter your budget you can replicate VB’s look!

Victoria, who is the cover star for December's issue, discussed her 'two most important roles' as a mother and running her own business.

She is mom to Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 14, and Harper, eight, from her 20-year marriage to David.

The businesswoman's company is constantly developing and she is currently in the midst of producing environmentally friendly cosmetic products.

She revealed during the interview with Polish model Malgosia Bela that she always tells herself: 'You can dream big or even bigger. Then you just have to work hard'

Victoria's shoot took place in the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and she was posing for British photographer Alexi Lubomirski.

The fashionista, who regularly opts for sharp tailored looks, donned a jewel-coloured suit which consisted of a fitted jacket and a pair of wide-legged trousers from her own collection

She teamed it with a slightly unbuttoned printed monochrome shirt with an oversized collar as well as a pair of bright blue stilettos.

She later switched up her look for a similar blouse, this time a cream shirt with elegant horizontal stripes, which she wore with a sophisticated cream suit.

Victoria styled her brunette tresses in a chic up do, while leaving some strands loose to frame her pretty features, which were coated with soft touches of make-up.

The star accessorised her outfits with dainty jewels, including a delicate pendant necklace and a pair of diamond rings while also adding a chunky gold ring.

#Empire Flash Back: Cookie Lyon and Her 17 Hard Years in Prison!

Empire fans know Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) was locked up for 17 years due to some bad decisions — and to keep her husband Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) and their kids safe. While those years taught her a lot, it also prevented her from making memories with her family.

In this video, Gabourey Sidibe, who plays Becky, takes a look back on all the times Cookie mentioned her 17 years throughout the seasons and wonders whether the Lyon matriarch has any regrets.

“Those 17 years Cookie spent in prison for Lucious, full divorced her while she was in prison, and never went to visit her,” Sidibe says in the clip, lamenting on Lucious’s poor decisions.

Cookie And Her 17 Years “Cookie gave up 17 years of her life for the Empire. I wonder if Cookie thinks it was worth it? I wonder if she does,” she continues.

#HipHopNews: Rapper Kodak Black gets prison sentence in weapons case!

MIAMI (AP) — Rapper Kodak Black was sentenced Wednesday to more than three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges stemming from his arrest just before a scheduled concert performance in May.

The 22-year-old Black admitted in August that he falsified information on federal forms to buy four firearms from a Miami-area gun shop on two separate occasions.

Black was able to obtain three of the weapons: a 9 mm handgun, a .380-caliber handgun and a semi-automatic Mini Draco weapon. Authorities said one of the guns was found at the scene of a March shooting in Pompano Beach, although he has not been charged in that case.

Black also faces drug, weapons and sexual assault charges in other states that remain pending. He has had several previous arrests.

U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno could have sentenced Black to the maximum of 10 years, and prosecutors wanted eight years in part because Black allegedly was involved in a jail fight that injured a corrections officer.

“I think it’s time for us to give some tough love in this case,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Brown. “I just don’t see how and when he’s taken these things seriously.”

But Moreno noted that Black has given money anonymously to charitable causes and could continue to do so behind bars.

“My suggestion would be you continue to be generous,” the judge said.

Black is a Florida native who was born to Haitian American parents as Dieuson Octave and who now goes by the legal name of Bill Kapri.

He was arrested during the Rolling Loud hip-hop festival in May that was marred by several violent incidents, including an unrelated shooting at a seaside property owned by President Donald Trump. Black has remained in custody since then his arrest.

“I have made some decisions I’m not proud of making,” Black said in court. “I do take full responsibility for my mishap.”

Black's better-known singles include "Skrt," ''Zeze", "Roll in Peace", "Tunnel Vision", and "No Flockin."

Multiple victims reported at Saugus High School in Suburban Los Angeles!

At least five people were injured – two critically — during at shooting at a public high school in California on Thursday morning and a teen gunman is being sought, police said.

Several victims wheeled out on stretchers by emergency responders following the 7:30 a.m. incident at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita.

The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station said in a tweet that “this is still a very active situation” and there are “reports of approximately 5 victims being treated.”

“Parents, deputies are on scene everywhere protecting your children,” the tweet read.

Undersheriff Tim Murakami of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a tweet “several injured” as a result of the shooting.

“LASD resources on site and searching for suspect. Will be locking down area schools. Advise residents to shelter in place and report any suspicious activity,” Murakami tweeted.

Police officials said the suspected shooter – who the Los Angeles Times reported is a 15-year-old boy — was described as an Asian male wearing black clothing.

The Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Santa Clarita confirmed in a tweet that it received two victims in critical condition with three other wounded victims on the way.

Bianca Salas, who works just two blocks from the school told The Post, that she heard the gunshots ring out.

“We heard gunshot earlier this morning and saw a bunch of Saugus High School students running from the scene,” Salas said, adding that the students were running “in all directions” off the school campus.

At least one person was found injured in the choir room of the 2,300-student school, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing authorities.

Saugus High School is about 40 miles north of Los Angeles.

Alicia Keys Will Host The Grammys For Second Year!

Alicia Keys is back for another round. After making her hosting debut earlier this year, the 15-time Grammy winner will return to host the 62nd annual Grammy Awards next year.

At first, I did think last year was a one-time thing, but when the opportunity came back around, there was no question about returning as host,” Keys said in a statement. “Last year was such a powerful experience for me. Not only did I feel the love in the room, but I felt it from around the world and it confirmed the healing and unifying power of music.”

Added Recording Academy President/CEO Deborah Dugan, “From Best New Artist recipient to Grammy Award host, Alicia Keys has been a beacon of artistry within the music community for more than two decades. Last year was a testament to her compelling creativity and we are thrilled that she will return to the Grammy stage as our host.”

Keys, who won her most recent Grammy for Best R&B Album for Girl on Fire in 2014, is gearing up to release her seventh studio album next year. Earlier this month, she released the remix to her Miguel-assisted single “Show Me Love” featuring 21 Savage.

The nominees for the 62nd annual Grammys will be announced on Nov. 20, while the show airs Jan. 26 on CBS.

Prince’s Cousin Recalls Singer Overdosing Days Before His Death: He Died On The Plane & They Brought Him Back!

While it’s been known that Prince suffered an overdose that took his life in 2016, his cousin has opened up about an opioid overdose that occurred just a week before the fatal dosage.

His cousin Charles Smith explains the emergency landing his plane had to take just days before he died. He was flying home from a concert when he stopped breathing.

“He died on the plane. Then, they brought him back.”

Dr. Drew Pinsky says that Prince was given a Narcan treatment to try to undo what many saw as an opioid overdose.

“He was strung out on opiates. He received Narcan because he would stop breathing. That’s why you give somebody Narcan.”

Anesthesiologist Dr. Faye Jamali also confirmed, “Narcan immediately reverses the effects of the opioid and, basically, wakes you up.”

Prince’s life was saved that day, but he infamously refused to let medics withdraw blood after he was rushed to the hospital for observation.

Smith added,“Somebody was hiding something. Prince is back to being Prince again and they take him back home. He should’ve never left that hospital.”

Dr. Drew said, “When they leave treatment prematurely, it’s because they want to get back to the drugs.”

He also suggested things could have turned out differently if Prince’s team stepped in to speak up against what everyone knew was going on.

“He’s flown back to Minneapolis. I’m like, ‘What? Who does that? After you almost die on a plane.”

“Just look at how many chances everybody had, that was in that circle, to say something or do something. He didn’t have a chance.”

Sadly, Prince died just days later from a fentanyl overdose at his home in Paisley Park, Minnesota on April 21, 2016. He was 57-years-old.

Rihanna Epically Claps Back After Being Asked the Status of Her Next Album!

Don't be rude boy because Rihanna is not here for it. Early Wednesday morning, the superstar took to Instagram to apologize for being MIA recently. (You know, because she's been busy perfecting her multi-million dollar empire.) "To all my friends/family/coworkers who I have yet to get back to in the past months...please forgive me," she wrote to her 76 million followers. "This year has been quite an overwhelming one, and I'm working on that ish called Balance. brb."

While some applauded her candor—"Love u ! We Def get that," wrote singer Lyrica Anderson—others seemed to miss the memo. "Where's the album heaux?!!!" commented her stylist and Fenty's junior creative director Jahleel Weaver.

And the "Diamonds" singer was none too pleased. "I don't need this kinda negativity in my life!" she quipped in the comments. "BLOCKT." (Don't worry, we assume these two are still on good terms despite the epic clap back.)

Back in 2016—that's almost four years ago, fwiw—Rihanna teased she had already started working on her ninth studio album. Then, in December of last year, she made dreams come true by confirming it would be released in 2019. But, as we quickly approached the new year, fans can't help but wonder what is going on.

"It really does suck that it can't just come out, because I'm working on a really fun one right now," she told Interview in July. I'm really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it's complete. It makes no sense to rush it, but I want it out. I've gotten to the point where I'm like, 'Even if I don't have the time to shoot videos, I'm going to put an album out.'"

And though she's been focused on her thriving fashion and beauty brands, music will always be part of her life.

"Me the designer, me the woman who creates makeup and lingerie—it all started with music," she said in an October interview with Vogue. "It was my first pen pal–ship to the world. To cut that off is to cut my communication off. All of these other things flourish on top of that foundation."

Police Identify & Charge Suspect In Maryland Popeye’s Slaying!

Police have identified and charged a suspect in the slaying of a man outside of a Popeye’s restaurant in Maryland.

Via USA Today: The Prince George’s County Police Department said in news release Tuesday that 30-year-old Ricoh McClain is wanted on murder charges in the death of 28-year-old Kevin Tyrell Davis.

Police Chief Hank Stawinski has said only 15 seconds elapsed from when the Nov. 4 altercation started to when it ended with the stabbing.

Stawinski said Davis had been “methodically” cutting the line for the rereleased chicken sandwiches for 15 minutes before McClain confronted him.

Ricoh McClain is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous.

'Real Housewives' Star Danielle Staub Removes Breast Implants: 'The Biggest Mistake of My Life'!

Danielle Staub is removing her breast implants, which she regrets. The 57-year-old Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 57 revealed that she had her DD implants removed in late October, and is speaking out in an interview with People about the experience.

“I regret getting them in the first place, 100 percent. The biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. Nobody wants to look that way anymore. I haven’t wanted it for decades,” she revealed.

“Do you know what it feels like to be stuck with a device in your body and look a way you don’t want to look? Mentally, I felt like I was trapped. I didn’t have a choice, I had to heal and couldn’t change it right away. And I hated them; hated the way they looked, hated the way people looked at me with them. I feel so relieved to have them out and to enter this new chapter of my life.”

Tyler Perry Bringing Two New Shows ‘Bruh’ and ‘Ruthless’ to BET Plus!

Last month, Tyler Perry premiered two new shows on BET, ‘Sistas’ and ‘The Oval.’ Now, with ‘The Oval’ becoming the No. 1 new drama on cable, BET has now announced that Tyler Perry will be bringing two more shows to its streaming platform BET+.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The first show coming to BET+ is Tyler Perry’s show, “Bruh.” This series will center around a group of Black men in their thirties as they delve into the dating scene, their careers, and friendship. The show takes place in a modern-day society and will touch base on stereotypes African American men face.

The second show coming to the streaming platform is Perry’s “Ruthless,” which is a spinoff of “The Oval.” This series follows a woman who is compelled to be civil with an obscene religious sex cult in an attempt to free herself and her daughter.

In a statement, Perry expressed his gratitude to his fans and his excitement for his future at BET, stating, “I’m so grateful for the millions of fans who have been watching the new shows on BET. And this is only the beginning. I’m excited to bring these two new dynamic series to the BET Plus family and continue to tell stories of high stakes drama with emerging talent.”

The shows are just a taste of what’s to come with Tyler Perry and his multi-year content partnership deal with ViacomCBS. Fans of the megaproducer can also expect a holiday special at BET and a live-action family comedy series coming to Nickelodeon starring 10-Year-Old rapper Young Dylan, who is most known from being featured on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’

Jay-Z Reportedly Influenced Colin Kaepernick’s Private Workout Opportunity With The NFL!

It turns out Jay-Z played a part in getting Colin Kaepernick this opportunity to prove he still belongs in the NFL.

According to a breakdown of the specifics surrounding the private workout, Ian Rapoport from NFL.com revealed that Hov potentially used his position within the NFL to sway teams into taking a look at the quarterback.

“I am also told that JAY-Z—who has been working with the NFL on some social justice initiatives—was involved in this and pushed this idea to some extent,” Rapoport said.

Rapoport then went a step further and took to Twitter, where he disclosed that the pending workout was not included in Kaepernick’s settlement with the NFL, which was reached in February.

JAY-Z announced his partnership with the NFL last August. Fans and critics questioned the move, and the skepticism brought the mogul a lot of heat when Jigga when he suggested that players have “moved past kneeling.”

The rapper’s role is to help manage the NFL’s music and entertainment, but Jigga is also revamping its “Inspire Change” initiative.

As word comes that he might be connected to orchestrating Kaepernick’s workout, this lends credibility to the idea that his work with the NFL’s social justice ventures isn’t just for optics.

Meanwhile, Kaepernick is ready to show the NFL he can still play as prepares for this workout for all 32 NFL teams in Atlanta on Saturday.

With a few teams needing QB help, Kaepernick could be signed in hopes he can make an impact for the 2020 season. It’s all up to him to show and prove.

Chris Brown flaunts his 'outrageous' Lamborghini & sneaker collection in new photo!

Singer Chris Brown has showed off his Lamborghini collection in his trainer garage storage room. The photo shows his trainer display and his exclusive cars.

Chris Brown's Instagram is a place where his fans can go to see what the singer is up to, but also a place of inspiration. The singer often shows off his clothing, art, creativity and shots from his shows.

This time round, the "Undecided" singer took to Instagram to post a photo of himself between his flashy Lamborghinis, and wait...in his fancy trainer storage room !

On Wednesday (Nov 13) Chris Brown showed off his exclusive Lamborghini collection which is based in his trainer garage.

Showing off his stacked trainer collection, Breezy posted a picture of his room, which contains hundreds of pairs of sought-after kicks. We all know Brown is a trainer fan after he got a tattoo of a Jordan on his face.

The 30-year-old singer captioned the photo "BREEZY GTA" in reference to the Rockstar Games game.

Brown's photo featured an high diagonal shot which gets the singer from a side angle. It was enough to get his three Lambo's and shoe collection in the photo.

Lil Nas X Wins CMA Award After Previously Being Shunned by Country Music Community!

Lil Nas X has officially been recognized by the country music community. The country-rap artist just received a Country Music Association award.

Ahead of the 53rd CMA Awards, it was announced that Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus are the winners of the Musical Event of the Year category for their record-breaking “Old Town Road” remix.

The win was announced on Good Morning America on Wednesday (Nov. 13).

Though he wasn’t present on GMA to receive the award, Nas X did celebrate via Twitter. “LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!” he wrote.

The 20-year-old rapper’s country-infused trap song was marred in controversy upon its release earlier this year when it was removed from Billboard’s country charts.

It was also reported that many CMA voters resisted voting for the song in major categories on the CMA ballot, causing the massive hit to be shut out of Single and Song of the Year.

Nevertheless, “Old Town Road” went on to set the record of longest No. 1 single of all time, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 for 19 consecutive weeks.

The song was also just certified 10x platinum by the RIAA, selling over 10 million units and earning the prestigious Diamond status.

Nas X’s follow-up, “Panini,” is charting well and he released his debut EP in June. However, after receiving so much attention, the rapper announced an extended break back in September.

I guess even while he’s chilling, Nas X is still collecting trophies on his shelves.

T.I.'s Wife Tiny Rolls Her Eyes When Asked About Deyjah Harris!

Tameka "Tiny" Harris has finally given her two-cents on her husband T.I.'s controversial comments about attending his daughter's gynecologist appointments to "check her hymen."

On Tuesday (November 12), the 44-year-old reality star shared a photo of her and Tip to Instagram, which she captioned, "Mi amor por siempre…," which translates to "my love always." While Tiny's support for her husband, who has yet to release a statement about his troublesome remarks, was obvious, the same can't be said for her support of her stepdaughter Deyjah.

After a fan commented on the Instagram photo, asking if Deyjah was OK, Tiny simply responded with multiple eye-rolling emojis: "🙄🙄🙄🙄."

The Xscape singer's comment came shortly after Deyjah pulled the ultimate social media move, unfollowing her dad, Tiny and her stepsister Zonnique Pullins. While the 18-year-old college student has yet to publicly address her father's comments directly, she has liked a number of tweets that called his remarks "disgusting," "possessive" and "controlling." Deyjah additionally tweeted, "I loveeeeeee yalllllll" after receiving messages of support from fans.

As fans know, during a recent podcast interview, T.I. spoke about visiting the gynecologist with Deyjah to ensure that she's a virgin. "Right after the birthday, we celebrate...usually the day after the party, she's enjoying her gifts, I put a sticky note on the door, 'Gyno, tomorrow, 9:30,'" the "Whatever You Like" rapper told the co-hosts. "We'll go and sit down and the doctor will come and talk, and you know, the doctors maintain a high level of professionalism. He's like, 'Well, you know sir, in order for me to share information...' I say, 'Deyjah they want you to sign this...so we can share information. Is there anything that you would not want me to know?'"

"I said, 'Look doc, she don't ride no horses, she don't ride no bike, she don't play no sports, man, just check the hymen please and give me back my results, expeditiously," T.I. recalled, laughing. "But I will say, as of her 18th birthday, her hymen is still intact."

T.I.'s comments sparked outrage on social media, with celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Iggy Azalea (to name of few) voicing their disapproval on Twitter.

Following the backlash, podcast hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham released a joint statement denouncing Tip's comments and apologizing for their "knee jerk reaction to the uncomfortable topic."

‘Magical Unicorn’ Puppy Born With Tail On Face Goes Viral!

A dog that has been called a "magical unicorn puppy" -- and for good reason -- has gone viral.

Narwhal, who was born with a tail on his face, was rescued from the cold in Missouri earlier this month.

Mac the pitbull, a rescue mission, has been providing updates on Narwhal including on the pup's extra tail.

One of their most recent posts says: "The extra tail is not connected to anything and has no real use other than making him the COOLEST PUPPY EVER! One of our followers said, “It appears they assembled the puppy wrong. Always follow the directions people!” This is a true experience of having “extra parts” during assembly.

The doctor said there is no reason for the unicorn tail to be removed; it does not bother Narwhal. They say he is like any normal puppy.

Narwhal is not yet ready for adoption as they want him to grow a bit more and make sure the tail doesn't become a problem.

"Right now he is pretty much the most unique amazing example of what we do here and we are so thankful to have the chance to be part of his journey," the rescue mission wrote on Facebook.
