Daniel Craig Star of 007 “No Time to Die” for British GQ Magazine!
“No Time to Die” star Daniel Craig covers the April 2020 issue of British GQ magazine photographed by Lachlan Bailey.
Here’s an excerpt ffrom the article:
“The James Bond of it all,” as Craig sometimes says, was clearly a monster. Craig was more involved in the writing than in any of his other Bond films. “This is my last movie,” he told me. “I’ve kept my mouth shut before and I’ve stayed out of it and I’ve respected it and I’ve regretted that I did.” Craig was instrumental in hiring Waller-Bridge to work on the script partway through the shoot. When things were rough, he didn’t hold back. “I’ve been very forceful in meetings and often way too blunt and probably completely rude,” Craig said. “But I’m like, ‘We’re here! Come on!’ And I always say sorry.”
#RHOA: Here's What Cynthia Bailey Thinks Of Her Former Assistant Carlton's Appearance On 'Love Is Blind'!
If you thought Carlton Morton from Netflix’s Love Is Blind looked familiar, you’re absolutely right. The reality star’s first foray into television was via Real Housewives of Atlanta when he was employed as Cynthia Bailey’s assistant. His most memorable scene happened as he and costar Kenya Moore clashed at a Bailey Agency audition. Morton let Moore know that he thought she was being rude to the contestants (many of them had never modeled before) and she wasn’t here for his feedback.
Allow us to refresh your memory:
Fast-forward to present day, Morton is now popularly known for his dramatic breakup with ex-fiancée Diamond Jack. Morton dated Jack, but did not reveal he was bisexual until after their engagement. After disclosing his sexuality, Morton met with his then fiancée to discuss the future of their relationship, which erupted into a heated argument. Many viewers felt he was out of line for calling Jack a “bitch” and insulting the appearance of her wig, which he apologized for during the reunion. What fans of the show have been wondering, though, is what Morton’s former boss thinks of his dramatic breakup. Well, wonder no more.
During a recent appearance on What What Happens Live, Bailey was asked by a fan for her thoughts and opinions about Morton’s appearance on Love Is Blind. It was a question she anticipated, saying, “I did watch the show. Looking on the bright side of what I took from the show, I’m glad he came out and is free to be himself and who he wants to be. I don’t agree with the way he handled things, obviously, toward the end of his time on the show.”
Despite her disproval of Morton’s behavior, Bailey and Morton still have a personal relationship. “I’ve been talking to him and trying to give him some positive counsel because he’s been going through a really tough time.”
Morton has made no secret of the difficulty he’s having dealing with the backlash from his appearance on the show. In an alarming tweet, he revealed, “I don’t want to be here.” He later caught up with TMZ to reveal that he’s currently in therapy. “I’m dealing with this the best that I can,” he said on camera.
#Empire: Terrence Howard Sues Fox Over Missing 'Empire' Checks!
Terrence Howard’s company is accusing 20th Century Fox of refusing to pay up on money owed for his work on “Empire”
According to court documents Howard’s company Universal Bridges is suing 20th Century Fox Film Corporation for breach of contract.
Universal Bridges is Howard’s loan-out company that is run by his current fiancé Mira Howard (the two were first married in 2013 but divorced in 2015. They reconciled and are currently engaged to be married for a second time.)
In the docs, Universal Bridges says Fox agreed to pay Howard through the loan-out company for his work on “Empire.” The studio was paying Howard until recently.
The actor continues to act on the show to this date. However, his company accuses Fox of failing to pay him for the last three produced episodes “even though it was contractually obligated to do so.”
Universal Bridges is suing for the court to order Fox owes Howard the money for the episodes and attorney fees.
The issue over the paychecks appears to stem from Howard’s ex-wife, Michelle Ghent, attempting to collect on $1.3 million owed to her.
As first reported, 20th Century Fox filed a separate lawsuit against Howard and Universal Bridges. In the suit, Fox revealed Ghent served them with legal documents demanding they hand over all Howard’s checks.
The suit explained Howard and Ghent were in the middle of a nasty divorce battle over money. In August, a judge ordered Howard to pay Ghent $1.3 million in back spousal support along with extra money due to his increase in income. The breakdown came to $263,000 owed in back support and another $1.05 million due to his increase in income since the divorce settlement.
Ghent is currently attempting to collect on the $1.3 million. Howard filed an appeal of the divorce judgment and believes enforcement is stayed, meaning it is put on pause until the outcome of his appeal.
Fox’s lawsuit is asking the court to tell them who is owed the money. They don’t want to pay the wrong person and be liable for damages.

#HipHopNews: Eminem Releases His ‘Godzilla’ Video!
The explosive clip, directed by Cole Bennett, finds Marshall Mathers roaming the aisles of a department store with godzillas. In between breathing fire and blasting a bazooka, he gets drunk off cognac and free liquor samples before puking up Legos.
Slim Shady wields a bloody chainsaw while butchering meat (and an ear), and stands on top of a pile of his own CDs. He makes his way outside to the parking lot before being knocked out by Mike Tyson himself. In the final scene, he is rushed to the hospital where he is examined by Dr. Dre.
The song, which appears on Em’s No. 1 album Music to Be Murdered By, features Juice WRLD. During an interview with Kxng Crooked for his “Crooked Corner” series, Em spoke about his late collaborator, who died from an accidental overdose in December. “That kid was so talented, like his freestyle he did on Tim Westwood — what the fuck?” said Em. “To be so young, he mastered that so fucking quickly. His potential was so off the charts.”

The video ends with a touching tribute to Jarad “Juice WRLD” Higgins: “You will be remembered forever. You will be loved forever. You will be here forever. Thank you for changing the wrld. 999 forever.”
Coachella 2020 Music Festival Likely to Be Postponed Over Coronavirus Concerns!
While no official announcement has been made, multiple outlets have reported that the music festival is in talks to push the dates until October. A source also confirms to E! News that Coachella has been postponed until October.
More than 125,000 people were expected to attend the world-famous music festival, which takes place in Indio, Calif. and was scheduled across six days on the weekends of April 10 and 17. This year's lineup featured upwards of 150 musical acts, including headliners Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rage Against the Machine in addition to Lana Del Rey, Big Sean and Calvin Harris.
On March 8, a local public health emergency was declared in Riverside County, the Southern California region where Coachella Valley and Indio is located. According to NBC Palm Springs, health officials confirmed the next day that three new cases of the COVID-19 infections had surfaced in Coachella Valley.
"There is currently no need to panic about the risk in Palm Springs or the Coachella Valley," Palm Springs Mayor Pro Tem Christy Holstege wrote in a statement at the time. "So many local businesses, workers, and our main tourism economy depend on making most of their money for the year in season, especially in April. We should proactively plan and focus on public safety but we shouldn't jump to rash conclusions not based on science and shut down thousands of jobs that people depend on and millions of dollars in our economy."
Coachella's postponement comes after similarly star-studded events like SXSW in Austin, Tex. and Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Fla. suffered the same fate.
The World Health Organization has reported more than 100,000 cases of coronavirus in 100 countries. See how the reported pandemic has impacted pop culture events worldwide since its emergence in late 2019.
Corey Feldman Reveals Names of Alleged Sexual Abusers in His New Documentary!
Corey Feldman has finally broken his silence. While debuting his new documentary, (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, at the Directors Guild Of America on Monday (March 9) in Los Angeles, the 48-year-old former child star listed the men who he says sexually assaulted him and his friend Corey Haim when they were child stars.
In the documentary, Corey centers on the alleged abuse by Charlie Sheen in which he was said to have raped Corey Haim “in between two trailers” on the set of the 1986 drama Lucas when Haim was just 13. The film also looks at nightclub owner Alphy Hoffman, who Feldman accused of abuse in 2017, as well as his former manager Jon Grissom. Also named as an alleged molester of Haim was actor Dominick Brascia and while former child talent manager Marty Weiss was named as an alleged second abuser of Feldman.
Charlie Sheen has long denied the accusation and Haim‘s mother, Judy, has publicly stated she does not believe Sheen to be the one who abused her son and in fact, pointed the finger at Brascia.
“I hope [the film] gives other victims the strength to come forward. Because there’s gotta be a tidal wave right now. We need a tidal wave of justice. We need a tidal wave of truth. We need a tidal wave of courage,” Feldman said at the screening (via Fox News). “The truth must survive. Children must be saved.”
Corey Feldman was accomapined at the documentary premiere by his wife Courtney Anne Mitchell.
Nicki Minaj Hubby Registers As Ca Sex Offender!
Nicki Minaj's husband finally got his ducks in a row on the West Coast -- getting himself registered as a sex offender, and looking kinda ticked off in the process.
Kenneth Petty is now entered into the California Megan's Law database, which tracks sex offenders in the state. We don't know exactly what day he was registered, but it was clearly very soon after his arrest on Wednesday last week -- so a matter of days, really.
He's listed as 5'9", 170lbs ... and has a Bev Hills address
KP was initially picked up by cops after a traffic stop last year in Bev Hills -- prosecutors say that's when they discovered he was registered as a sex offender in NY, but not yet on the books in California.
He was charged by the L.A. County D.A. for not registering ... before the feds arrested him last week for the same crime. While the L.A. County charge has been dropped, Petty will be back in court next month for the federal case -- and he has to wear an ankle monitor until then.
He also has to keep his nose clean substance-wise -- one of the conditions of his bond is no drugs, including legal weed.
Petty's sex offender status stems from a 1995 NY conviction for first-degree attempted rape.

Tami Roman reportedly to host a new reality show about cheaters on VH1!
Tami Roman has enjoyed national notoriety in her starring role in “Basketball Wives,” the popular Shaunie O’Neal reality TV franchise, for the past decade.
The cute but combustible star of reality and scripted television shows is now reportedly ready to take the helm as a reality show host.
Roman has already begun taping episodes for a proposed reality show for VH1 that is tentatively titled “Unfaithful,” according to The Jasmine Brand.
Roman, 49, qualified for “Basketball Wives: Miami” because she was once married to former Georgia Tech standout and NBA star Kenny Anderson from 1994 to 2001. And because of her outsized personality and pugnacious disposition, which makes for great television viewing, she was soon traded to the “Basketball Wives: LA” edition where she remained for seven seasons.
The actress first came to fame on the first modern reality series, MTV’s “Real World,” back in 1993, where she thrived on the Los Angeles edition.
Roman parlayed her national fame to transition into the Hollywood realm. She also boasts extensive scripted TV and movie receipts to boot, including “The Family Business,” “Saints & Sinners” and “Truth Be Told.”
The Jasmine Brand also is reporting that Roman has taped a half-hour comedy “Ms. Pat,” which is in negotiations for airing on the relatively new streaming service Hulu.

Congrats! Kenny Lattimore and Judge Faith Jenkins Are Husband And Wife!
Love is in the air this week, as singer Kenny Lattimore and judge/TV host Faith Jenkins have officially tied the knot. The newlyweds exchanged vows at First Congressional Church of Los Angeles, and their “just married” photos look like they leaped straight from the pages of a fairytale.
Judge Faith was a vision in white, wearing a lacey strapless A-line wedding gown. A long sheer veil with lace trim trailed behind her as she made her way down the aisle. Keeping with the storybook theme, Lattimore wore a double-breasted tuxedo with gold buttons – a look fit for a king.
“Yesterday was an absolute dream!,” the newly-minted Mrs. Lattimore shared on Instagram. “Stevie Wonder sang one of my favorite songs as I walked down the aisle to marry my true love – a man who continues to amaze me with his love, honor and leadership every day of our journey.”
Kenny Lattimore returned the love to his bride, sharing a repost of the photo with an emotional recap of the day. “My heart is full to have you @judgefaithjenkins as my beautiful, brilliant, sweet kind bride,” he shared. “You are my new beginning like the dawn of a new day. I love you. Let’s do life to the fullest!!”
Lattimore and Jenkins first went public with their relationship back in September 2019. According to Us Weekly, the couple first met on a blind lunch date. The couple shared the news of their engagement on Instagram and gave a heartfelt dedication to the love they have found in each other. “Faith, I am forever grateful to God for His faithfulness in sending me you,” Lattimore wrote in dedication to his newfound love. “To say you are the total package is a vast understatement. You are powerful and passionate about life and yet your presence brings me so much peace.”
The couple has also been transparent about going to pre-engagement counseling, which they say has been vital in building a strong foundation for their marriage. Back in November 2019, Judge Faith publicly thanked their mutual friend and wedding officiant DeVon Franklin for being one of their trusted advisors.

Gayle King Wants You To Know That She Stands Behind Her Kobe Bryant Interview!
Last month rapper Snoop Dogg was forced to apologize to Gayle King for calling her a funky dog head b-word, after she pressed Kobe Bryant's friend Lisa Leslie about his 2003 rape allegation in an interview barely a week after his tragic death in a helicopter crash [click here if you missed that].
Gayle defends her actions and says you don't have to agree with her, but you will NOT disrespect her...
After insisting she meant no harm, Gayle King tells Oprah,
"You may disagree with the story, you may disagree with the way I do the story but there's just no way...it's just not fair or OK to be as vulgar and as hateful as I experienced....You can be mad at me, but you can't speak to me the way that I was spoken to."
Harvey Weinstein Asks Judge for Mercy; Requests 5-Year Sentence!
Harvey Weinstein is asking a judge for just five years in prison.
The 67-year-old Hollywood mogul faces a maximum of 29 years in prison after being convicted of third-degree rape and a criminal sexual act last month.
However, Weinstein’s lawyer filed documents on Monday asking for leniency when the judge considers sentencing, TMZ reports.
“Since the New Yorker article was published in 2017, Mr. Weinstein’s life has been destroyed. His wife divorced him, he was fired from The Weinstein Company, and in short, he lost everything,” the documents read, as his lawyer described his” fall from grace [as] historic, perhaps unmatched in the age of social media.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Elsewhere in the docs, the lawyer also asked the judge to consider Weinstein’s criminal history, or lack thereof, as well as his charitable donations, in which he helped raise money for 9/11 public servants and the Robin Hood org.
” Both [victims] continued consensual relationships with Mr. Weinstein after the alleged assaults and contacted him for jobs, tickets, and professional advice,” the lawyer said, adding that” the trial did not fairly portray who he is as a person. His life story, his accomplishments, and struggles are simply remarkable and should not be disregarded in total because of a jury’s verdict.”
Sentencing is set for Wednesday.
