Patrick Stewart for Variety - January 2020!
As the new series Picard draws closer, everyone is buzzing about Sir Patrick Stewart. The series is named after his character, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, after all. With only a few weeks left before the show airs, Stewart has opened up in a new interview showing us that not only does he still have the passion, but he still has the style.
Patrick Stewart has made no secret that he was resistant to coming back to the character. But in Variety, he says that it was his work as Professor Xavier in the X-Men movie Logan that won him over. “It was the best ‘X-Men’ experience we both had, because we were the same characters but their world had been blown apart.” Stewart said, talking about his longtime costar Hugh Jackman. “Next Generation didn’t end like that. In fact, our last movie, Nemesis, was pretty weak.”
Star Trek was initally known for its setting, a universe where humanity has moved into a future where we finally have peace, and this frees us up to travel the stars. But Stewart says that the peace isn't going to be something guaranteed in Picard. "Why hasn’t the Federation changed? Why hasn’t Starfleet changed?" He asks. "Maybe they’re not as reliable and trustworthy as we all thought."
Stewart says that soon he'll be hearing a pitch for Picard season two. So while even our star doesn't know what the future holds, we're on board with him.
#RHOA: Baby Love! Kandi Burruss's Newborn Daughter Blaze Is A Gorgeous Baby Doll!
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are parents again, and welcoming their newborn baby girl Blaze Tucker into the family has been nothing but an absolute joy.
Baby Blaze was born via surrogate on Nov. 22, and her presence has brought the family closer than ever before. The new mommy debuted her “newest heartbeat” on Instagram, and instantly melted our hearts.
Due to medical reasons, including a history of delivery complications, Burruss and Tucker decided surrogacy was the safest option to carry their child. Burruss has discussed the mixed emotions that came with not physically carrying their child. But thanks to their surrogate Shadina Blunt, and OB-GYN Dr. Jackie Walters, the process couldn’t have gone smoother.
“I just wanna say thank you sooooo much to @therealdrjackie [and] @shadinablunt for helping us bring our beautiful baby girl in the world,” Burruss wrote in an Instagram post thanking Shadina. “There are no words that can express our gratitude!”
Everybody’s relationship with their surrogate is different but in my case I definitely feel like I gained a new friend. It was team work getting @blazetucker here. In the delivery room we were laughing, dancing, doing what we could to help Shadina through the delivery.
We also can’t get enough of the fact that Blaze is her mom’s twin! To prove it, Burruss posted a photo collage of herself as a baby morphing into adult, proving that Blaze definitely has her entire face.
Congratulations to the new parents!

National championship 2020 LSU unseats Clemson as Joe Burrow completes historic college football season!
NEW ORLEANS -- No. 1 LSU completed one of the most impressive seasons in college football history on Monday night, storming back from a first-half deficit to take down No. 3 Clemson in the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship. The 42-25 win for LSU was a fitting finale for Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow, who finished one of the greatest individual seasons of all-time by shattering even more records in the game that gave LSU its first national championship since the 2007 season.
Burrow finished the game with 463 yards on 31-of-49 passing, totalling six touchdowns (five passing) with no turnovers. He set new national title game records for passing yards and touchdowns, broke Deshaun Watson's record for total yards in a championship game and broke the NCAA single-season record for touchdown passes in the process.
The win is a crowning achievement for Ed Orgeron and the LSU coaching staff, especially offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and passing game coordinator Joe Brady, for the way they were able to transform not just the scheme of their offense but the mentality of the entire team. The aggressiveness that comes with an up-tempo spread attack was adopted on every side of the ball, and their relentlessness ultimately became the defining quality of their dominance.
LSU's offense did not dominate for the entire game. In factm, poor field position and some strong early play by Clemson's defense limited the scoring opportunities early on. Clemson had a 17-7 lead in the second quarter before Burrow finally started to heat up, but once he got rolling, there was no stopping the hottest hand in college football. Burrow linked up with wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase for 147 yards in the first half alone, and the Biletnikoff Award winner finished the game with nine catches for 221 yards and two touchdowns, which is a new CFP National Championship record for receiving yards.
The "you can't make this up" factor with LSU and this game was off the charts from the moment their spot was locked up with its Peach Bowl win 16 days ago. The Tigers were back in New Orleans in the same building where a 21-0 loss to Alabama in the BCS Championship Game kick started an eight-game losing streak against the Crimson Tide. LSU had to go to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to end that streak of disappointment, and now it has fully reversed the mojo from the shutout title game loss with a high-flying win that was just another day of ball for the nation's No. 1 offense.
Will Smith Admits He Was ‘Deeply Insecure’ About Jada Pinkett And Tupac’s Relationship!
While promoting his new movie Bad Boys for Life with Martin Lawrence on “The Breakfast Club” on Monday, the actor admitted that he felt “deeply insecure” about the close bond between the late rap icon and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
When asked if he was ever jealous of the love Jada had for Pac, Will responded, “F**k yeah.”
However, he regrets not trying to foster a friendship with Pac. “That was a big regret for me too because I could never open up to interact with Pac,” Will told Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee. “You know, because we had a little bit of a thing. You know, they grew up together and they loved each other, but they never had a sexual relationship.”
Jada and Pac met when they were in high school at Baltimore School for the Arts in Maryland and became close friends before she met Will. “They had come into that age where now that was a possibility and then Jada was with me,” recalled Will. “So Pac had a little thing on that, but she just loved him like he was the image of perfection, but she was with the Fresh Prince.”
Will admits that his ego stopped him from approaching Pac. “It was like I never could even, we were in the room together a couple of times. I couldn’t speak to him,” he said. “You know, he wasn’t going to speak to me if I wasn’t going to speak to him.”
Charlamagne thought the two would have had a lot in common, as did Jada. “That’s what Jada would say all the time,” said Will. “Like, ‘I’m telling you, y’all are so similar you will love him,’ and I just never… That was a huge regret of mine… I couldn’t handle it. I was the soft rapper from Philly and he was Pac.”But he wasn’t able to overcome his insecurities. “I was deeply, deeply insecure, and I wasn’t man enough to handle that relationship,” confessed Will.
Jada has been candid about her friendship with Pac in the past. “He was one of my best friends,” she has said. “He was like a brother. It was beyond friendship for us, as far as just, it’s really difficult to explain because the type of relationship we had, you only get that once in a lifetime. He was like a brother-father figure to me. Very protective. We took really good care of each other, the best that we could. We gave each other a lot.”
Cardi B Says She Might Run For Congress!
In a series of tweets, the “Press” rapper expressed her desire in becoming a politician. “I think I want to be a politician,” she tweeted on Sunday. “I really love government even tho I don’t agree with government.”
After watching war documentaries, Cardi was inspired to explore her political aspirations. “Like I was watching war documentaries. No matter how many weapons a country have you need people! How are you trying to go against a country and possibly start a war wen this country lacks patriotism? I barely see people claiming they LOVE being American,” she added.
She followed it up hours later with another tweet saying she thinks she could run for Congress if she went back to school. “I do feel like if I go back to school and focus up I can be part of Congress.I deadass have sooo much ideas that make sense,” said Cardi. “I just need a couple of years of school and I can shake the table.”
This is not the first time Cardi has shared an interest in politics. She has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump on social media. Last year, she sat down with Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders for an interview where they discussed issues facing Americans today including police brutality, immigration, and healthcare.
She already has the endorsement of Bernie’s supporters. “We’re early endorsing @iamcardib,” tweeted the @People4Bernie account.
Before she launches her political campaign, Cardi is set to release her sophomore album. She has been in the studio working on the highly-anticipated follow-up to her Grammy-winning debut Invasion of Privacy and recently teased a new Wheezy-produced track.

According to our friends at, theJasmineBRAND they reports that the Grammy-nominated singer and reality star has allegedly landed her own beauty series on VH1. Sources tell us that the show is

Reports of Tamar Braxton’s new show first began when she confirmed she had a new show last year.
She said during an interview: “I have a VH1 show coming up that got picked up for 20 episodes. I’m really excited about it. It’s kinda like a musical sort of. But it’s really, really good and entertaining. I’ve always been into acting. I started off with Tyler Perry, a lot of people don’t know that. I did Madea Goes to Jail. We had a great time. Ever since then I’ve had the acting bug. Then the reality show came and the music bug definitely never goes away.”

Keke Wyatt gives birth to Her 10th child: We 'are blessed'!
The 37-year-old R&B singer announced in an Instagram post Sunday that she welcomed a baby boy, Ke'Riah, with her husband, Zackariah Darring, last week.
Wyatt shared a nude pregnancy photo alongside a picture of her newborn son.
"My husband Zackariah and I are blessed to welcome our beautiful and healthy 7lb 11ounce son, Ke'Riah Darring. He came to our family on 1/6/2020. #GodIsGood," she captioned the post.
Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Kandi Burruss and Nene Leakes, WAGS Atlanta star Kiera Douglas, and singer and television personality Trina Braxton were among those to congratulate Wyatt in the comments.
"Congrats," Leakes wrote, adding two heart-eyes emojis.
"Congratulations!!!!" Braxton added.

"My husband Zackariah Darring and I are so happy to announce that we are expecting our new bundle of joy! We are excited to welcome the 10th addition to our beautiful family," Wyatt said on Instagram.
Rihanna Models Sexy Lingerie For Steamy Valentine's Day Photoshoot!
We're 13 days into 2020 and Rihanna has dropped everything but her album. However, her latest unrelated R9 Instagram post does make the wait a little easier.
On Sunday (January 12), Rih Rih dropped her first Savage x Fenty collection of 2020, just in time for Valentine's Day. "New Year, New Valentine’s gift! Get ready to do the most in 2020 with these sexy @savagexfenty styles," Rih captioned two photos that showed her posing in red lingerie that's equipped with zippers on both the bra and undies. "We have TWO very special boxes curated and designed by one of my faves and first collaborator for #SavageX, @adamselman 🥰!!!! Head to savagex.com NOW to grab yours."
As fans know, Rih goes all out for the made-up holiday. Last year, for her Savage x Fenty Valentine's Day photoshoot, she showed off her enviable curves in a hot pink bra and undies set that was equipped with sexy cut-outs and heart-shaped pasties.
Rihanna's sexy Valentine's Day photoshoot comes a week after she shared her first selfie of 2020 — a make-up free close-up of herself with braids in her hair and a black hoodie on her body. While the photo is undoubtedly flawless, an Instagram user noted that Rih had a pimple on her right cheek, commenting "Let me pop your pimple." Unfazed by the fan bringing attention to her blemish, the Barbadian beauty hilariously replied, "Let her have her shine, PLEASE."
YouTube Star NikkieTutorials Comes As Out Transgender Amid Blackmail Threats!
25-Year-Old Dutch YouTube star NikkieTutorials revealed on Monday that she is a transgender woman. However, the young woman did not come out on her own accord.
”When I was younger, I was born in the wrong body,, which means I am transgender,” Nikkie revealed in the video.
According to the beauty vlogger, she began identifying as a girl at the young age of 6. Years later, she began hormone therapy at the age of 14 years old before fully transitioning at 19.
Allegedly, a group of individuals threatened to leak her sexuality to the blogs, forcing the young woman to make the admission herself in a 17-minute video posted to her YouTube channel titled “I’m Coming Out.”
“I have been blackmailed by people who wanted to leak my story to the press,” She confessed.
”At first, it was frightening. It was frightening to know there were people out there that are so evil that they can’t respect someone’s true identity,” she said.
Despite the awful act, Nikkie never revealed the identities of the blackmailers to her 12.4 million followers.
Daniel Kaluuya Reveals He Didn’t Receive Any Movie Roles In England Due To Racism: ”I Wasn’t Getting Roles Because Of The Color Of My Skin. It Want Fair. It Was A Trap.”
Since his breakout role in Jordan Peele’s hit film ‘Get Out,’ Daniel Kaluuya has taken Hollywood by storm starring in hit movies since then, such as ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Queen & Slim.’
While, Kaluuya has become well known in the U.S., the star revealed in an interview with The Times, that prior to blowing up in the states, he didn’t have much luck with his career in England.
Kaluuya informed the publication that after many auditions, he couldn’t land a role, stating, “I was going for a lot of stuff, but I wasn’t getting roles because of the color of my skin. It wasn’t fair. It was a trap.”
Kaluuya continued by explaining an exact situation where he was treated differently, and race played a part in the encounter.
“It was 10 rounds of auditions…There was me and a white guy for the lead. It was about aliens. And I realized as I was going to one audition that the other guy had been given an acting coach,” he said.
Getting roles isn’t the only part of Hollywood where race plays a huge part in some being more successful than others. Each year during awards season, many movie award shows get called out for the lack of color being represented in the nominees.
This occurred with the British Academy Film Awards after it was reported that in 2018 94% of the nominees were white, according to Revolt.
However, Kaluuya was determined to get over this obstacle and not let anyone play with his career.
“They didn’t love me like they loved him…In any other profession, that would be weird, but it was accepted in mine. It happened a few times, and I went, ‘Nah. I’m not an idiot.’”
