#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey's Daughter Noelle Robinson Showcases Lavish New Apartment!
Cynthia Bailey is spending a good bit of her time in Los Angeles now with her soon-to-be husband. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s daughter, Noelle Robinson, also lives there and just moved into a new apartment.
There are a lot of rumors that Cynthia Bailey could be moving to ‘RHOBH’ or pull double duty
Since before the reunion episode, there have been major rumors of a cast shake-up on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It has been rumored that Bailey, who is living bi-coastal now, could be swapping shows to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, or at least appearing on both shows in some capacity. Her fiancé, Mike Hill, lives in LA.

Bailey recently said in an interview with Hip Hollywood, “Beverly Hills, I’m not opposed to…the reality is, I live in Atlanta and I live in LA. As a reality star if we’re going to show my truth, then I’m friends with a lot of the ladies in Beverly Hills as well. I would be open to showing both parts of my life, my LA life, and my Atlanta life so we’ll see if Bravo and Truly Original can figure that out.”

Another cast change rumor is that Phaedra Parks could be returning. TMZ is reported earlier this year that Yovanna Momplaisir will be added to the cast for the upcoming season. Also, there have been rumblings about Nene Leakes’ status with the show.
As reported by Bravo, Robinson posted on her Instagram story about her new apartment, specifically showing the views from her balcony. She showcased the outside views from the apartment at nighttime. In the first posts, didn’t unveil too much of the inside of the apartment, but viewers could see the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

A few days later, she posted more from inside the apartment, including the hardwood floors and white walls. Robinson is in living in LA, where she is an influencer and aspiring actress. Back in 2019, Hill said to Bravo, “She’s out here in L.A., she’s pursuing her goals of acting. She’s a superstar… She’s an influencer, so she’s doing her thing for YouTube and her YouTube channel,”
In March of this year, Robinson also spoke in a video on her YouTube channel about leaving Howard University to move to Los Angeles and pursue a career in entertainment.

“I was homeschooled for the last two years of high school and I took a gap year, so I was not ready for college at all,” she said. “From a social standpoint, an academic standpoint, I kinda just got the carpet ripped from underneath me. I just felt like I could only just go to school there, and not be able to pursue my passions.”

The most recent season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently available to watch via Bravo on-demand.

#HipHopNews: 6ix9ine And Nicki Minaj’s “Trollz” Debuts At No. 1 On Billboard Hot 100!
After about a week of encouraging fans to support and purchase their new record "Trollz," 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's efforts have paid off.
On Monday (June 22), Billboard announced that the New York rappers have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with their recently released collab. 6ix9ine and Nicki's victory with "Trollz" knocks DaBaby and Roddy Ricch's "Rockstar" to the No. 2 spot while Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" comes in at No. 3 this week.

And of course, 6ix9ine celebrated the feat via Instagram, doubling down on claims that he has been blackballed by the music industry. "Didn't I tell you, nigga?," Tekashi began in the clip posted to social media. "I can't be stopped, nigga. Didn't I tell you? And we got blackballed. You can't blackball me. Listen, I'm telling you, I'm going on a seven-day rant. You better unfollow me ’cause I'm going on a seven-day rant. Y'all tried to blackball me on radio, y'all tried to blackball me on radio. Apple Music, Spotify, didn't give us no playlisting. I can't be stopped, nigga. No. fucking 1, nigga. This for the fans. We can't do this without y'all. We beat the industry. Fuck is y'all talking about? I can't be stopped, nigga."

Nicki also weighed in on their joint win. "No words yet," she wrote on Twitter. "All I can muster up is the 'I love you'. Gimme a sec."
About an hour or so later, Nicki uploaded a video to her social media thanking her fans for supporting the record. "Y'all did this with no playlisting and no radio," she began. "And, it's just not happening in 2020. All the records on the top of the chart right now are doing that with heavy playlisting and heavy radio. So, for us to do that...debuting? That's insane. So, I love you guys so much. We just did the highest pure sales of the year of every song released. And, you can't buy that. That's fan love."

Create Music Group, the distributor of 6ix9ine's music, also released a statement regarding the rapper's No. 1 record. "Tekashi 6ix9ine is without a doubt one of the most galvanizing figures making music today," said Create Music Group Founder and CEO, Jonathan Strauss. "We are thrilled that we've been able to attain what many in our industry thought was impossible—being the first independent distributor to achieve a Number One single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart since streaming surpassed sales as the dominant form of music consumption. We built our company for the modern artist and this is a watershed moment for fully independent labels, distributors and music creators everywhere."
Last week, 6ix9ine posted about his expectations for "Trollz" to land at the top spot on the chart. "We going #1 nothing will stop me. You can't cheat me," Tekashi wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. "Blackballed don' t work for me. I am too big of a star."

Baby's "Rockstar" landed at the No. 1 spot on the chart two weeks ago after spending eight weeks on the publication's ranking system.
"Trollz" landing at No. 1 follows 6ix9ine's attack on Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber after the pair's "Stuck With U" single went No. 1 over his post-prison release "Gooba," which debuted at No. 2. Just before the news of "Stuck With U" debuting at the top spot was announced, Tekashi accused Ariana, Justin and Billboard of manipulating streaming numbers to secure their victory.

"They bought 30,000 units with six credit cards," the Brooklyn rapper said, referring to Grande and Bieber's song. "Six credits cards. Now, again, you're gonna enjoy your No. 1. Explain how you buy 30,000 with six credit cards?"

Congrats to 6ix9ine and Nicki.


Adult Performer Ron Jeremy Charged With Sexually Assaulting Four Women!
Adult film star Ron Jeremy has been charged with sexually assaulting four women in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.

Jeremy, 67, is facing three counts of forcible rape and forcible penetration with a foreign object as well as one count of sexual battery and another count of forcible oral copulation, say the prosecutors.
According to the district attorney’s statement, a 25-year-old accused Jeremy of raping her at a home in May 2014. He allegedly assaulted multiple women at the same bar on three separate occasions: two women ages 33 and 46 in 2017 and a 30-year-old woman in July 2019.
Prosecutors recommended bail at $6.6 million. If Jeremy is convicted, he’ll face a maximum sentence of life in state prison. He is set to make his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon.

A representative for Jeremy did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.
The district attorney’s office said it declined a case against the actor involving a 2016 incident “due to insufficient evidence stemming.”
In 2017, Rolling Stone magazine published a story about an onslaught of misconduct allegations against Jeremy.
“These allegations are pure lies or buyers remorse,” Jeremy told the magazine at the time.


News of Jeremy’s arrest follows a reckoning sweeping the porn industry right now. Dozens of women have started coming forward en masse to report abuses experienced on porn sets,


The 'American Horror Story' Spinoff Series Will Go to FX on Hulu, Instead of Airing on Regular FX!
American Horror Stories, the upcoming spinoff to Ryan Murphy‘s hit series American Horror Story, will no longer air on the FX Network as originally planned.
The show is now going to FX on Hulu, a section on the streaming service Hulu, according to THR. Two of the big shows that were released on there as part of the launch were Devs and Mrs. America.
American Horror Story is an anthology series that features a new story in each season. American Horror Stories will have a different story in each episode, kind of like Black Mirror. Not much else is known right now!

FX still plans on airing a 10th season of American Horror Story in 2021.


Da Brat Confirms Rumors About Tamar Braxton’s Fight With Jermaine Dupri’s Step Mother!
Rapper Da Brat has confirmed that the elevator fight between Tamar Braxton and Jermaine Dupri’s step-mother over the music producer’s father actually happened.
Last week, singer-songwriter K.Michelle went on a rant with Tamar as her target, revealing that the fellow singer had an affair with Jermaine Dupri’s father, #Michael Mauldin. Now, Da Brat is coming in to corroborate Michelle’s words, saying she is a first-hand witness of the fight. According to HotNewHipHop, Brat has always been close with Jermaine, and she decided to open up about the drama involving Tamar while on air.

“Jermaine Dupri’s momma is Momma Tina. So it wasn’t his momma,” she said during her radio show. “That did happen. I happened to be in that elevator. The whole Beyoncé thing that definitely happened. That’s Michael Mauldin’s ex-wife. Lord Jesus, no comment. I was in the elevator, honey. It was just a situation. And Michael Mauldin’s ex-wife was a little fed up, and it went down in the elevator. When it opened, I exited the elevator stage left. I didn’t have nothing to do with it. This was a while ago.”

Meanwhile, Tamar responded to K. Michelle’s comments saying she is at a different place in her life and that she doesn’t “want to be a part of any type of negativity.” “I don’t really have a lot to say because I feel like whenever I talk, it gets misconstrued. I’m in a different place in my life,” said Tamar alongside her boyfriend #DavidAdefeso. “I don’t want to be a part of any type of negativity of any kind. …being professional, not having this stereotype of the angry Black woman and not having the stereotypes that come along with being on reality television which is always being negative, always being problematic, always being messy or whatever, it’s almost like the work that you do gets covered up by mess. The last thing that I am going to waste my time with is giving negative energy, energy.”

Adefeso also chimed in, saying he hated to see two Black women attacking one another. “What I saw this morning made me sad because I saw one strong black woman, [a] strong, good-looking black woman, tear another strong, good-looking black woman down, and it broke my heart,” he said calling the Michael Mauldin rumors untrue. “What makes me sad is Tamar now gotta defend herself against something which is false. Against something which was concocted. Against something which was meant to defame her character. As her man, it broke my heart.”

The drama all started when Tamar sarcastically shut down the possibility of having a #Verzuz battle against K.Michelle. In response, Michelle went ham on Tamar, calling her out for a number of things, including allegedly having an affair with Jermaine’s father. “You can’t f*ckin go around talking about nobody when you sleeping with a married man,” said K. You was sleeping with Jermaine Dupri Daddy. How you sleeping Jermaine Dupri Daddy and get your a** beat by Jermaine Dupri momma in an elevator?! But you want to talk about me? I don’t f*ck married men. But you so holy? Hmmm.”


Jessica Mulroney’s Husband Quits TV Show Amid ‘White Privilege’ Scandal!
Jessica Mulroney’s husband has quit his TV show amid her “white privilege” scandal, which has cost the stylist several jobs and her friendship with Meghan Markle.
Ben Mulroney announced on Monday that he is stepping down as host of Canadian entertainment show “etalk” — and hopes a non-white person will take his place.

The move comes after his co-host, Elaine Liu, wrote an excoriating blog about the couple, in which she ominously claimed that the Mulroneys were “keeping track” of those who don’t support Jessica amid the scandal.
Back on June 10, Toronto-based black lifestyle influencer Sasha Exeter posted a message on Instagram calling for people with large platforms to use them to promote the Black Lives Matter movement. She later posted a video, claiming Mulroney had taken the post as a personal attack on her, and had threatened to harm Exeter’s career.

Speaking on CTV’s “Your Morning,” Ben — the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney — said: “I love my wife, however it is not my place to speak for her, and today we are both committed to doing the work to understand more about anti-black racism as well as learn and understand more about our blind spots.”
Mulroney admitted that his “privilege has benefited [him] greatly,” adding: “While I have certainly worked hard to build my career, I know that systemic racism and injustice helps people like me and harms those who aren’t like me, often in ways that are invisible to us. This needs to change.”
“More than ever, we need more black voices, more Indigenous voices, more people of colour in the media as well as every other profession,” he added, “and that is why I have decided to immediately step away from my role at ‘etalk’ to create space for a new perspective and a new voice.”

Ben’s departure comes after Lui’s lengthy post on her blog Lainey Gossip, in which she wrote that plenty of people in the Canadian media have their own “Jessica Mulroney stories,” but she has “powerful allies.” Lui added, “Many of us ‘liked’ Sasha Exeter’s post last week and we’re pretty sure that the Mulroneys are keeping track of them.
“On Wednesday night, when all of this was going down, I can tell you for sure that at least one email was sent out from the Mulroney camp to someone who ‘liked’ Sasha’s post that was mildly threatening.

“It was an email that sent a message and this is the way the message was received and internalized: ‘You’re on watch, so you should think about whose side you’re on.’”
Lui described the Duchess of Sussex as Jessica’s “superpower,” adding that “she has a direct line to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.”
She wrote: “Word on the street right now is that Jessica is still watching people’s Instagram stories, paying attention to what people are saying, and people are nervous that she’s taking names and making a list.”

Lui said it’s “been shared on the whisper network” that Mulroney had been privately telling people “that ‘there are two sides to every story,’ suggesting that she doesn’t feel she’s as in the wrong as she actually is.”
Jessica has been axed from her reality show “I Do, Redo,” as well as from her gig on “Good Morning America.” She’s also been forced to step down from the charity she launched with her three sisters-in-law.
As Page Six revealed, the scandal was also the final nail in the coffin for her relationship with Markle, who sources said had become increasingly annoyed that Jessica had forged a career through their friendship.

Mulroney’s a godparent to Archie, Markle’s 1-year-old son with Prince Harry, which will make matters more difficult.


Naomi Campbell Shuts Down Rumors That She No Longer Speaks To Ex-Boyfriend Skepta!
Supermodel, Naomi Campbell, 50, is making it clear that she and her rumored ex-boyfriend, 37-year-old Skepta (real name Joseph Adenuga), are cool after a recent comment she made where she stated that she is on good terms with all of her exes except the “last one.”
In an Instagram post, Naomi Campbell captioned a photo of the two saying,
“STOP All love between Us @skeptagram”
In July 2018, Skepta posted an image of a sonogram on his social media. In the top, left corner of the ultrasound was “Baby Adenuga,” a nod to Skepta’s birth name, Joseph Junior Adenuga.

Since the last woman Skepta was linked to was Naomi Campbell, many speculated that she was the one carrying his child.
The model proved that she wasn’t pregnant by the London-based rapper by showing off her bikini-fit body while posing on a yacht in a photo that she captioned, HAPPY 1st Of AUGUST MY LOVES
Skepta went on to welcome a baby girl. It’s still not clear who the mother is.
It’s rumored that the 35-year-old artist and model became an item in January 2018, and confirmed their romance the following March after they graced the cover of British GQ, but it is unclear when their relationship came to an end.

In October 2019, Skepta was reportedly dating powerhouse singer, Adele, after her split from her husband, Simon Konecki.
“Adele and Skepta have been there for each other a lot after both their relationships split up. They have a close bond and there’s definitely a special connection. They’re spending more and more time together. Some of their friends are hoping and predicting they could end up being a great couple one day.”

Reports now allege that Adele and Skepta’s 5-month-long romance seems to be over, citing a song he released ‘Mic Check’ from his album Insomnia.

Skepta has not made any comments confirming that he and Naomi Campbell are on good terms.


Laverne Cox is auctioning off replica Emmys clutch for LGBTQ charity!
Laverne Cox made a statement with her rainbow-colored clutch at the 2019 Emmys — and now she’s spreading the love.
The “Orange Is the New Black” actress, 48, is auctioning off a replica of the Edie Parker clutch she carried at the awards show in honor of Pride Month.
Bidding on the design began Monday on Charitybuzz and ends on July 8th. 100 percent of money raised will be donated to the Anti-Violence Project, a nonprofit that works to keep LGBTQ+ communities safe and supports survivors of abuse through counseling and advocacy.
The clutch is an exact replica of Cox’s and holds a special meaning for the LGBTQ activist; it had the words “Oct 8, Title VII, Supreme Court” emblazoned on it, referring to the date that the Supreme Court heard arguments on whether LGBTQ workers should be protected by the Title VII provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

This past week, the Court ruled that the civil rights law does indeed protect gay and transgender workers from job discrimination in a landmark decision.
The auction also follows the June 19th Netflix debut of Cox’s documentary film, “Disclosure,” which focuses on transgender representation in media, society’s interpretations of the trans community and trans individuals self-perception.

The current bid is less than $600, but the piece of history is projected to sell for thousands.


Minnesota Jail Accused Of Only Letting White Officers Guard Derek Chauvin, Sued For Discrimination!
A Minnesota jail is under fire after eight correctional officers, who are people of color, claim that they have been blocked from guarding former police officer, Derek Chauvin.
The ex-Minnesota officer is charged with murder in the death of George Floyd after kneeling on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, causing strangulation and asphyxia.
According to NBC News, Bonnie Smith, the attorney for the eight guards, said that her clients were told they had to leave the fifth floor, where Derek Chauvin was being held.  She stated that all those who were told to leave were people of color and were allegedly replaced with white officers. One of the officers was seen crying, according to the complaint.
Bonnie Smith stated, “My clients came to work that day fully prepared to do their work. They are highly trained, experienced professionals in dangerous and volatile situations and were just as well equipped as their white counterparts to perform their work duties on May 29.”
She continued,“The fact that they weren’t allowed to do so has devastated them.”

Smith’s clients are seeking monetary compensation, training on racial bias for all jail employees, and a formal and public apology, as well as for the supervisors responsible for the decision to be disciplined.

Rapper Fabolous and Love & Hip Hop star Emily B expect one other little one collectively, a daughter,
Fab and Emily’s relationship has been in a extremely good place for the previous 12 months.

The Family Of Woman Who Portrays Aunt Jemima Asks Quaker Oates To Reconsider Rebrand!
Quaker Oates recently announced their decision to rebrand the infamous Aunt Jemima brand as a step towards racial equality. Yet, the family of the woman who represents the brand has asked the company to take a second look at their decision.
Lillian Richard, considered a hero in her hometown of Hawkins, Texas, represented the Aunt Jemima brand for 23 years. A career she has “made an honest living out of,” as well as one her family is proud of.
Richard was the face of Aunt Jemima from 1925 to 1940, a time very few Black women had job opportunities.

“We do not want that history erased,” Vera Harris, Richard’s second cousin explained. “We would ask that you reconsider just wiping that away.”
“I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything, because good or bad, it is our history. Removing that wipes away a part of me — a part of each of us,” Harris said.

The breakfast food brand announced its decision to change the image and logo last week, acknowledging its origins based on racial stereotypes. Initially, the Aunt Jemima logo featured a black woman dressed as a minstrel character, commonly known as ”mammy,” an older black woman slave who works for and looks after a white family and children. Though the image has changed over time to be ”appropriate and respectful, Kristin Kroepfl, vice president and chief marketing officer of Quaker Foods North America, said the company has since realized those changes are not enough.


Disney’s Hamilton Will Be A Little Different From The Original!
If you’re one of the many Broadway fans who still has not seen Hamilton since the award-winning musical took the , your time is finally here — the Lin Manuel Miranda production will soon be available for streaming on Disney+ before you know it. But be warned: the Hamilton that you're about to see won't be a perfect reenactment of the stage production, thanks to the Motion Picture Association of America.
A colorful take on the origins of American history, Hamilton follows the journey of founding father and first treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton. Songs like "Yorktown" and "Washington on Your Side" are among the most popular pieces from the production, but they won't sound exactly the same when you see them on the streaming platform next month; Hamilton as it is has far too many expletives in it to be attached to Disney, so it will be getting a family-friendly edit.

Miranda gave fans the heads up on Twitter this morning, sharing that the Disney+ movie will be almost identical to stage performances except for some very minor changes.

"MPAA has a hard rule about language:more than one utterance of 'fuck' is an automatic R rating," he explained. "We have 3 'fucks' in our show. So I literally gave two fucks so the kids could see it."
Miranda did get to keep one of those fucks, bringing the potential R rating down to a family-friendly PG-13. That edit, however, will be the only change to Disney+'s version of Hamilton. The full-length film version of the musical will include the original cast; Miranda, Daveed Diggs, Leslie Odom Jr., Christopher Jackson, Jonathan Groff, Renee Elise Goldsberry, and Phillipa Soo will all be reprising their roles from the very first run of the show back in 2015.
“What I’m most excited about [is] you all have that friend that is like, ‘I saw it with the original cast,'" Miranda told Variety of the film January. "We’re stealing that brag from everyone because you’re all going to see it with the original cast."

Close enough. Stream Hamilton on Disney+ on July 3.


Officers Who Police Union Falsely Claimed Were "Poisoned" By Shake Shack Reportedly Never Had Symptoms!!


Last week, multiple police unions accused employees of a Manhattan Shake Shack of deliberately poisoning the milkshakes of several NYPD officers. Hours after the inflammatory tweets were published and the story was picked up by the media, the NYPD concluded their investigation by announcing they found "there was no criminality by Shake Shack’s employees." According to a new report about the whole mess, the NYPD officers who were "poisoned" never even showed any symptoms of being sick.

The NY Post sorted through the strange circumstances around the non-incident today, and learned more details that point to how ridiculous and unsubstantial the initial accusations were.
The three officers from a Bronx precinct had ordered from a Shake Shack located at 200 Broadway, via a mobile app, around 7:30 p.m. last Monday. Police sources told the Post that the "order wasn't done in person," so the employees couldn't have known police had placed the order; and no one could have "dosed" the drinks when they got there, because the order was already packaged and waiting for pickup when the came in.

After sipping the milkshakes, something didn't taste right and the officers threw them out; they alerted a Shake Shack manager, who apologized and issued them vouchers for free food or drink, which they accepted, according to the Post. They also told a sergeant about it, which is apparently when everything spiraled out of control: that supervisor reportedly called in the Emergency Service Unit to set up a crime scene at the Shake Shack, while the three officers were taken to Bellevue Hospital, "where they were examined and released without ever showing symptoms."

Simultaneously, a source tells the Post that a lieutenant from The Bronx sent an email to the police unions saying the officers had “started throwing up after drinking beverages they got from shake shack on 200 Broadway”—despite the fact they did no such thing.
As for the milkshakes, the NYPD investigation, which included interviews with multiple employees and review of store footage, ultimately concluded that the off-taste was due to the milkshake machine being cleaned just before the order. On it was residual milkstone remover, an acidic solution used to combat buildup in dairy equipment, the Post reports.

But by then, the story had already spread widely after being tweeted about by the Detective Endowment's Association and the Police Benevolent Association, which falsely claimed officers were sickened after ingesting a "toxic substance, believed to be bleach." The hashtag #BoycottShakeShack trended on Twitter, Donald Trump Jr. blamed left-wing protesters, and the DEA released their own statement saying, “Tonight, three of our brothers in blue were intentionally poisoned by one or more workers at the Shake Shack at 200 Broadway in Manhattan."

The other irony of course is that the NY Post, which is now debunking how it happened, was one of the first local outlets to run with the story. As City & State wrote recently, the NY Post has been rife with "copaganda" lately, routinely prioritizing police narratives with "anonymous sourcing, zero additional verification and in contradiction of facts that are later reported by the Post itself." Other examples include the story about protesters disguising concrete as ice cream (which were actually just coffee cups used by construction workers to test the composition of the concrete mix); the story about protesters hiding bricks to later use against cops (which turned out to be debris left over from a nearby construction site); and their ongoing crusade against bail reform.
