Zoë Kravitz for Elle US - February 2020!
Ladies and gentlemen, Zoë Kravitz has done it again. The actress has somehow found a way to one-up her own fashion game. She recently walked the 2020 Golden Globes red carpet in a polka-dot-print Saint Laurent gown that landed her on our best dressed list. Now, she's on the cover of Elle's February issue to promote her new role on Hulu's High Fidelity, and the outfits are pretty much breaking Instagram. As soon as the images from the shoot were released, my IGS feed was covered with pictures of Zoë posing in a sculptural LBD.
The Big Little Lies star posed on the cover wearing a unique black minidress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello. The sculptural number wasn't the only amazing outfit from the shoot, although it was 100 percent my favorite. Zoë also posed in a sexy Mugler top that looked like a triangle bikini top meshed together with puff sleeves and another polka-dot look, this time by Haider Ackermann. All of these outfits, along with her amazing Audrey Hepburn-inspired wedding dress, prove that 2020 is her year to shine. Read on to see all of the images from the gorgeous campaign.
Gorgeous!
#RHOA: Is Kenya Moore Is Insinuating that Tanya Sam’s Fiance Is Cheating?!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Tanya Sam is engaged to Paul Judge who has also appeared on the show a few times. In a preview for an upcoming episode, Kenya Moore insinuates that Tanya’s fiance is cheating on her.
During a sneak peek for next Sunday’s installment, Kenya brings up a hypothetical situation at the table. She asks the ladies if they would want to know someone in the group’s significant other was cheating.
After Kandi Burruss and Tanya both say that they’d want some proof, Moore brings up an oddly specific example.
‘What if they didn’t hook up with them, they just basically said the person hit on them and they exchanged numbers?’
This triggers Cynthia Bailey who knows what her friend is referring to. The clip flashes back to a conversation that Kenya and Cynthia had with a woman who works at a cookie shop.
The mystery woman is seen saying: ‘So you know your boy, uh, Paul? He kind of like, was all over me, just like, buying me drinks, telling me not to leave somewhere.’
Although the Queen of Twirls did ask Tanya if she would want to know, the supermodel felt that Moore was being shady.
Bailey said in confessional: ‘This never had to go anywhere. Like, I know Kenya is shady, but even for Kenya, it’s like, girl!’
WATCH
Some feel that Kenya is trying to stir up trouble because her marriage is over while others feel that she is simply being a good friend by letting Tanya know what she heard about the man she is supposed to marry.
What do you think Kenya’s motives are? Is this a case of her being shady or are her intentions pure at heart?
#Empire: Jussie Smollett ‘Will Not Be Coming Back’ for ‘Empire’ Series Finale!
As “Empire” heads into its final stretch, speculation is sure to heat up that Jussie Smollett might make one final return to the series that he exited nearly a year ago. But according to Fox entertainment boss Michael Thorn, that’s not going to happen.
“He will not be coming back,” Thorn said. “As you would expect when you’re finishing an iconic series like ‘Empire,’ that Brett, as the showrunner, along with his producing partners, would certainly have discussions about what’s the best way to finish the show. In this case, Jussie will not be coming back for the finale.”
Smollett left the show toward the end of last season, shortly after Chicago law enforcement accused Smollett of staging a high-profile hate crime against himself. The producers, responding to intense public pressure, wrote Smollett out of the final episodes of Season 5 despite protests from Smollett’s supporters on the cast.
The show’s producers have never given serious indication that Smollett or his character, Jamal, would return — Fox said prior to the start of the current season that there were “no plans” for him to reappear — but showrunner Brett Mahoney recently told TheWrap that given the show’s nature as a family drama, it would be “weird and particularly challenging to do [the finale] without him.”
“Our hope at Fox — and I know the producers feel the same way — is that the show, to us, is much bigger than some of the personal stuff that’s unfortunately happened for Jussie, where we just want the ending to be as epic as the beginning,” Thorn said.
“Empire” is currently midway through its final season, with the last run of episodes set to air later in the spring. Smollett’s absence throughout the season has been explained away by his character’s move to Paris
When it first debuted in 2015, “Empire” was a phenomenon, putting up impressive viewership numbers throughout its first season. However, ratings have declined sharply over the course of the show’s run, and a surprise return for Jamal would surely boost viewership for the final stretch of episodes.
“I will tell you on all of our shows we always talk about how do you boost ratings and in this marketplace it’s very challenging,” Thorn said. “When you’re a pop-culture phenomenon, like ‘Empire’ was, you burn bright for as long as you can. Unfortunately, when you’re doing 18 episodes a year … some viewer attrition is just unfortunately inevitable. But we think this season has been fantastic. Have we talked about how to goose ratings? Of course. Did we talk about exploiting Jussie’s situation to do so? No.”
“What I will tell you is what Brett and Danny and Lee and Imagine [Entertainment] have planned is awesome,” he continued. “And I’m really excited. It’s bittersweet, obviously, for the show to end, but I’m really excited, ’cause I think they have an incredible creative plan for the finale and I hope people come in droves.”
The sixth and final season of “Empire” returns this spring on Fox.

British royals feel hurt by the way Harry and Meghan quit!
Britain’s royal family is hurt and disappointed by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s surprise announcement that they will step back from their senior roles and spend more time in North America, a royal source said.
Harry and Meghan’s decision to step away from royal duties sent shock waves through the royal family as neither Queen Elizabeth nor Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, had been consulted on the announcement, made on Instagram.
Elizabeth, who has devoted her life to the public duty of monarchy since she became queen in 1952, and other senior members of the family felt hurt and disappointed by the move, a royal source said.
“We have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” Harry and Meghan said in their statement.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family, and work to become financially independent.”
They said the decision was taken after months of reflection and discussion, and that they would split their time between the United Kingdom and North America to allow their family the space it needs.
Cast by the couple as an exciting next step, it was not immediately clear how the couple will become what royal biographers said was akin to being a “half royal” - and who will pay for their transatlantic lifestyles.
No senior royal has yet commented on the decision. British tabloids said the announcement had left senior royals such as Prince Charles and Harry’s brother, Prince William, incandescent with rage.
Buckingham Palace said discussions with Harry and Meghan were at an early stage and that such complicated issues took time to work out.
“MEGXIT” read The Sun’s front page headline. The Daily Mail said Queen Elizabeth was furious about the move.
While the manner in which Harry and Meghan have tried to exit the spotlight cast on the world’s most famous family drew criticism, Prince Charles has long sought a slimmer and leaner royal family.
The haste of their decision, though, raises questions for a family which had in Elizabeth’s words a “quite bumpy” year that included her son Prince Andrew’s decision to step down due to his relationship with disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal commentators drew parallels with the abdication crisis of Edward VIII who gave up the throne in 1936 to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson and lived out his life in France.
Opponents of the monarchy were scathing and even supporters questioned how one could be a part-time royal.
“This really is wanting to have your cake and eat it,” said Graham Smith, head of Republic which wants to abolish the monarchy.
“They have said they will dip in and out of royal duties as it suits them but won’t stop taking public money until they find other sources of income.”
Meghan, known for her role in the TV legal drama “Suits”, could return to acting in the United States though it is unclear how that would be viewed by the Palace.
“Perhaps she’d have to be careful about what roles she’d do because she is a member of the royal family, so she couldn’t do too many racy sex scenes for instance,” said Royal biographer Penny Junor.
Aretha Franklin’s Son Slams Jennifer Hudson’s Portrayal of His Mother In “Respect,” Reveals “Core” Family Had No Input!
Aretha Franklin’s youngest son, Kecalf Franklin, has come out swinging against MGM’s forthcoming biopic starring Jennifer Hudson. Franklin’s son contends that he and his children have had no input on the film about his late mother.
According to USA Today, Franklin took to his Facebook page this weekend, asking, “How can you make a movie about a person and not talk to the persons’ sons or grandchildren about important information?” in all caps.
His post was the latest shot fired in a family battle that has mostly played out inside Oakland County Probate Court, where Kecalf Franklin has petitioned to be named the estate’s executor in place of Sabrina Owens, Aretha Franklin’s niece.
However, in response, David Bennett, Aretha Franklin’s longtime attorney and lead counsel for the estate, said, “This is all about his attempts to become the personal representative of the estate.”
Aretha’s niece has been the executor since Franklin passed in August of 2018. Still, the matters were complicated last spring by the discovery of wills with conflicting instructions purportedly written by the legendary singer.
At an August hearing, Judge Jennifer Callaghan authorized handwriting experts to assess and confirm the documents’ validity. She also ordered Owens and Franklins’ four sons to begin mediation in hopes that the family members would hammer out a fair distribution of assets.
The MGM-produced project ”Respect” began filming last fall and is scheduled for release this coming fall. As Kecalf Franklin acknowledged in his FB post, Hudson was handpicked for the lead role by the Queen of Soul, herself.
“Everything else is being done against our wishes,” Kecalf wrote, claiming “the Franklin family (does not) support the movie that is in production!” he shared.
Franklin also criticized the publication of “The Queen Next Door,” a collection of images by Aretha Franklin’s longtime personal photographer Linda Solomon. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Echoing his complaint about the MGM film, stating that the “core” family was not contacted for input, he wrote.

Cute
Cassie and husband Alex Fine are officially debuting their newborn daughter, Frankie Stone Fine!
The 33-year-old singer shared an image from a photo shoot, along with footage of her adorably sleeping.
Last month, Cassie and Alex Fine announced the arrival of their daughter. Both shared the news on social media. The new parents each covered her face, but gave the public a glimpse of their newest addition.
Cassie has been open about the emotions she’s experienced over becoming a mom. She previously said,
“In today’s world, it’s so easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing; so I want her to grow-up to feel confident in who she is and stay her course. I hope to help guide her in this by always being supportive and listening. Kids say what is on their minds; sometimes, it just may not be directly. I think that it’s our job, as parents, to tune in and pay attention to what they’re thinking and how they feel.
My husband is continuously saying that he wants her to play sports and be tough and I, of course, want her to take ballet (ha!), but at the end of the day, she’s going to be whomever she wants to be, and we need to encourage and support that. I mean, who knows, maybe she’ll be a football-playing ballerina!”
Justin Bieber reveals Lyme disease diagnosis!
Justin Bieber reveals Lyme disease diagnosis The singer said he plans to explain the depth of his struggle in a coming YouTube series.
The singer Justin Bieber revealed Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease in an Instagram post that called out people who have made comments about his appearance in recent months.
After TMZ reported the news, Bieber, 25, posted a screenshot of the article with caption saying people who had said he looked like he was on drugs "failed to realize I've been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease."
"These things will be explained further in a docu series I'm putting on YouTube shortly.. you can learn all that I've been battling and OVERCOMING!!" Bieber said.
Bieber is scheduled to release a 10-episode series on YouTube titled "Justin Bieber: Seasons" on Jan. 27. He has recently hinted at his struggles, having said in March that he was stepping away from making new music to work on "deep rooted issues" and his marriage to the model Hailey Baldwin.
Celebrity Trainer Jillian Michaels Is Under Fire For Body-Shaming Lizzo!
The Biggest Loser coach Jillian Michaels is under fire for her recent commentary surrounding Lizzo.
During the fitness guru's interview with Buzzfeed News' AM to DM on Wednesday morning (January 8), a host praised the self-acceptance messaging from the likes of the Bonnaroo headliner and Ashley Graham, but Michaels pivoted in another direction after that sentiment. "Love her music," she told the host. "I love her music 100%, I don't know anything about her but I'm sure she's a cool awesome chick. Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t gonna be awesome if she gets diabetes."
Michaels later tried to differentiate her thoughts on Lizzo’s music from her weight. "I’m just being honest. I love her music. My kid loves her music, but there’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘I’m so glad she’s overweight,’" she continued. “Why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?”
After the Twitterverse blew up, Michaels took to the social media platform to clarify her remarks but it only seemed to intensify the fire. Scroll on below to see her response, as well as the back and forth discussion happening around the topic.
Azriel Clary And Joycelyn Savage Get Into Fight On Instagram Live, Clary Says Savage Had Sex With Her As A Minor!
R. Kelly’s two “girlfriends” got into a fight at the singer’s home, and the entire incident was recorded.
Chicago police responded to a battery report at Kelly’s Trump Tower condo in Chicago following the throwdown. The two women involved were #AzrielClary and #JoycelynSavage. On Wednesday, Clary took to Instagram Live while cleaning out belongings from the condo.
The video starts with Savage screaming at Clary, saying, “You know that’s wrong, you know this is his house.” To which Clary responds, yelling back and saying, “I need to protect myself.” The incident quickly escalates when Savage moves towards Clary, and two begin fighting. Throughout the video, you can hear the two women attacking each other, and Clary, at one point, yells out, “You slept with me when I was a minor.” Clary claimed at the end of the video that she would be pressing charges against Savage for the same crimes that Kelly is currently being brought to justice for.
WATCH
There were at least two other people in the room during the physical altercation. Clary told the people watching on her live that Kelly has “been lying to you guys” and claimed that Kelly had Savage lie for him also.
The story is still developing.
