Naomie Harris for Tatler - December 2020!
Naomie Harris has said she thinks James Bond films should have a “foot in the past” while still moving with the times.
The actress, 44, is set to return as Miss Moneypenny in No Time To Die, which has had its release date pushed back to April 2021.
She told Tatler that it is important to retain some of the character of the past Bond films.
“It’s a difficult tightrope to walk,” she said.
“You have to honour the Bond of old. If you modernise too quickly, you lose what makes Bond Bond.
“And part of what makes Bond what it is is that foot in the past.
“It has that traditional aspect to it. You have to honour that, I think.
“But then, as well, you have to move with the times.”
No Time To Die was due to be released in April of this year but has now had its release date pushed back twice because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The actress also told the magazine that going to Cambridge University had been “helpful” for her career despite the fact “it was not a particularly pleasant experience”.
“Because, as an actor, a lot of the rooms I’ve been in are with people who’ve been there or to Oxford,” Harris said.
“They might be a completely different generation to me, but it’s a connection.”
Her university education might sometimes have been the reason she has got a job over someone else, she said, adding: “I really believe that sometimes happens.
“I also think it gives you a gravitas in terms of people’s perceptions.
“I’m not saying this is the way things should be, but people do perceive you differently as a result of having gone there.”
It is “particularly” true of women, she said, adding: “People assume, ‘Oh. She’s got a brain’.”

#RHOA: The Real Housewives Of Atlanta Season 13 Trailer Has Been Released!
Real Housewives of Atlanta is down one OG, but one thing is for sure, Season 13 is insane. Filming through a summer filled with a pandemic, fighting for racial equality, and planning Cynthia Bailey’s wedding, the ladies are back and very ready to party.
Viewers will meet two new cast members. Drew Sidora is joining the group full time and Latoya Ali will show up as a friend. Tanya Sam and Marlo Hampton, with her eternally empty hands, will appear part time as well. If a worldwide health crisis and extensive racial unrest weren’t big enough issues to address, we will also dive deep into the rabbit hole of STRIPPERGATE. Judging from the trailer and someone’s questionably placed ankles, this particular rabbit hole will be long, dark, and have dollar bills in his g-string.

#HipHopNews: Travis Scott Deletes His Instagram Right After Fans Clown His Batman Costume!
Travis Scott has evidently deactivated his Instagram account and many suspect it had to do with the reaction he got to his Halloween costume.
The Astroworld mastermind transformed from Bruce Wayne to Batman on Saturday night (October 31) and got clowned for his interpretation of the famous character. Due to the brown color of his suit, some compared Scott to a cockroach — not the celebrated superhero who saves Gotham City from The Joker.
But while Twitter exploded with reactions to the Instagram disappearing act, some speculated the move actually means new music is coming from him. Scott’s last solo offering, the aforementioned Astroworld, arrived in 2018 and he’s expected to drop a follow-up called Utopia sometime in the near future.
Scott’s most recent single, the “Franchise (Remix)” featuring Young Thug and M.I.A., arrived last month and could indicate more is on the way. Whatever the case, Twitter couldn’t help itself from chiming in.
Tory Lanez Startled By Troll On Quarantine Radio!
One can certainly say that Tory Lanez has had a wild ride in 2020. Hot New Hip Hop says the performing artist was arrested earlier this year following allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot after a pool party one night.
Initially, rumors spread in the tabloids claiming Tory had shot Megan, however, the “Savage” rapper never confirmed them, at least until a few weeks later. On her Instagram account, Meghan came out and said that it was Tory who shot her.
It didn’t take long for many of the rapper’s former friends and collaborators to distance themselves from Mr. Lanez, who was on top of the world until the scandal hit the press. Moreover, Lanez came under fire once again when he released his last album, DAYSTAR, on Soundcloud.
Despite the fact it was only released on Soundcloud and no other platform, which means he didn’t make much money from it, many accused Tory of capitalizing on the controversy. Since then, Tory has been officially charged with the crime.
Reportedly, Lanez has since gone back to doing his Quarantine Radio show, although, Hot New Hip Hop says he spends a bit of his time trying to fight off trolls. In a clip shared on the website, Tory is taking calls from fans until a man chimes in and says he shot Megan.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, Tory tried to steamroll the man’s attempt at trolling Quarantine Radio, but he looked visibly perturbed by his call. The outlet claims Tory then said that more women were trying to call into the show.
Regarding what Tory intends on doing with his career from now on, the rapper has said he plans on continuing with his career as he normally has. This means there will likely be more Quarantine Radio episodes in the coming weeks and months.
As it was previously reported, Tory was charged with possession of a firearm and felony assault with a weapon over the Megan Thee Stallion incident. On his social media, Lanez claimed the trial would bring the truth forward.
Eddie Hassell, 'The Kids Are All Right' and NBC's 'Surface' Actor, Dead at 30 After Being Shot!
Eddie Hassell, who starred in the Oscar-nominated movie The Kids Are All Right and NBC's Surface was shot and killed in Texas Sunday morning. The actor was 30. His representatives told Variety Hassell was shot during what appears to be a carjacking. The incident is still under investigation. It is not clear where in Texas, the alleged shooting took place.
Hassell was born in Corsicana, Texas, on July 16, 1990. He made his acting debut in 2004, appearing in episodes of Joan of Arcadia and Oliver Beene and a short called Birth of Industry. In 2005, he scored a lead role in Surface, a short-lived NBC series starring Lake Bell and The Conners actor Jay R. Ferguson. The science fiction series starred Bell as an oceanographer whose submersible is attacked by a mysterious life form. Hassell appeared in 10 of the show's 15 episodes, playing Phil Nance.
After the show was canceled, Hassell resumed picking up guest roles in shows, appearing in 'Til Death, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Southland, and Bones. In 2010, he starred in The Kids Are All Right, which starred Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo. The critically acclaimed film was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress for Bening, Best Supporting Actor for Ruffalo, and Best Original Screenplay. Hassell's other films include 2012, The Family Tree, Jobs, Warrior Road, and Bomb City. His last role came in 2017's Oh Lucy!. In 2013, Hassell had a recurring role in the first season of Lifetime's Devious Maids.
Aside from his life as an actor, Hassell was an avid surfer, despite being born in Texas. "Skateboarding's been a huge part of my life; it also got me cast in commercials. I was into horseback riding and rodeos in Texas and when I moved to L.A., I got into skating," Hassell told Elle in 2013. "I did all my own stunts. I'm into anything with a board: surfing, wakeboarding."
In that same interview, Hassell reflected on working with Ashton Kutcher, who starred in Jobs as Steve Jobs. "When I was a kid growing up, I watched him on That '70s Show and Dude, Where's My Car?" Hassell explained. "A lot of kids in my generation see him as an icon, so I was excited going in. I expected a super-happy-go-lucky, goofy guy, but he's very professional and business-oriented. He stays in character the whole time, between takes. But he'd also do things to keep everyone loose, like cracking jokes or hooking up his iPod to loudspeakers and blasting Fun. I definitely learned things from him."
Drake Reportedly Undergoes Knee Surgery!
It appears that Drake recently had surgery on his knee.
The Toronto native took to his Instagram Story where he shared a photo of his knee in a leg brace. “I actually want to use this post to send love and motivation to anybody else that 2020 let loose on,” he wrote. “Start writing the best bounce back story now.”
Drake is gearing up for a busy winter. Earlier this week, the rapper launched his Certified Lover Boy collaboration with Nike, named after his forthcoming album. The capsule includes a quilted heart-embroidered bomber that made a brief cameo in Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” music video with Lil Durk.
Drake also released a trailer that confirmed the new album will arrive in January. The video clip referenced several of Drake’s previously released projects like Take Care and Nothing Was the Same.
Drake also celebrated his birthday last week in Los Angeles. Though the affair was private, photos of the event's menu later appeared online, with people clowning the rapper for raisins and capers to his mac and cheese.
Saweetie Addresses Her Comments About Birkin Bags After Boyfriend Quavo Gifts Her With One!
Birkin bags are making headlines again. Last week, Saweetie had fans talking after she made comments about Birkin bags after boyfriend Quavo gifted her with one in honor of the success of her new song “Back to the Streets.”
“If he not getting you a Birkin, if he not paying for your bills, then throw that n—a back to the streets, OK?” the 26-year-old rapper said going live on Instagram.
Saweetie caught some heat with her comments, with critics calling her out for putting material objects above healthy relationships.
In a new interview, Saweetie addressed the comments, saying that she’s “an entertainer and I come to entertain.”
“So that was an entertaining comment. Like Jay-Z says at the end of ‘Ignorant S–t,’ he goes, ‘It’s only entertainment,’ and then he does this little evil laugh,” Saweetie shared with Power 106 Los Angeles with Bryhana. “I was having a good time, promoting ‘Back to the Streets.’ And, you know, I’m popping my s–t for my girls. But I feel like a Birkin symbolizes a gift of value.”
She continued: “But what comes along with being valued?” It comes with a healthy relationship. It comes with communication. It comes with getting gifts. It comes with being spoiled, because at the end of the day, we create life … Women are magical creatures and we deserve to be treated like a queen. So that’s what I meant by that statement … A Birkin is symbolic. Get her a purse, get her some jewelry—of course, according to your tax bracket. I don’t want you to clean out your savings to try to keep up with social media or society … It was a quick comment that represents how I feel women should be treated, which is showered with gifts, OK?”
Saweetie‘s situation with Birkin bags comes after Cardi B called out critics saying that Black women are devaluing the bags.
‘Saturday Night Live’ Books Dave Chappelle for Post-Election Episode!
The musical guest for the episode has not yet been announced. The comedian previously hosted “SNL” after the election in 2016 and also appeared in the Eddie Murphy-hosted episode just last year. Most recently he won the variety special (pre-recorded) Emmy in September for 2019’s “Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones” and released the short sand-up special “8:46” in June, which was performed and shot in a socially distant safe way during the coronavirus pandemic and featured a set in which he responded to the murder of George Floyd.
However, he is also known for his self-titled Comedy Central series “Chappelle’s Show,” which ran from 2003 to 2006, as well as other stand-up specials including 2017’s “Equanimity,” 2004’s “For What It’s Worth” and 2000’s “Killin’ Them Softly.”
Previous host-musical guest combinations for this 46th season of “SNL” include Chris Rock and Megan Thee Stallion from the premiere episode, as well as Bill Burr and Jack White, Issa Rae and Justin Bieber, Adele and H.E.R., and John Mulaney and the Strokes.
This year “SNL” will air six consecutive episodes, undoubtedly adding this special Nov. 7 episode in order to be able to respond directly to the results of the presidential election. The lead up to the election, including town halls and debates, have kicked off every episode of the season, putting special guest stars Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph squarely in the spotlight. (Baldwin portrays President Donald Trump, Carrey portrays former vice president Joe Biden and Rudolph portrays Sen. Kamala Harris.)
“Saturday Night Live” is produced in association with Broadway Video. Lorne Michaels created the show and executive produces it.

#RIP: 'American Idol' contestant Nikki McKibbin dies at 42!
ARLINGTON, Texas - Nikki McKibbin, a singer from Texas best known for her third-place finish in the first season of American Idol, has died. She was 42.
McKibbin's husband, Craig Sadler, confirmed her death in a Facebook post, saying that she had died after suffering a brain aneurysm on Wednesday and was taken off life support early Sunday. Her husband did not say where she died.
McKibbin's son, Tristen Langley, told The New York Times that his mother died in Arlington, Texas.
"She was so loved that I know thousands of you will be grieving with us," Sadler said. "She loved so many of you and I know you loved her too."
McKibbin appeared on American Idol in 2002, when the show started and became an instant hit.
A 23-year-old from Grand Prairie, Texas, McKibbin impressed the judges with soulful performances of songs by Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and a stirring cover of Alanna Myles' song "Black Velvet." McKibbin finished third on the show that year, behind Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson, who won the competition.
Gracious in defeat, McKibbin tearfully hugged her fellow contestants when she was voted out in 2002.
"What an incredible journey this has been," McKibbin said before leaving the stage. "Just to know that so many people support me and enjoy what I do means more than anything in the world.?
The often acid-tongued Simon Cowell was equally gracious.
"Reality check: Out of 10,000 people, you are third. This is not a time for tears,? he told McKibbin. "You've got a career ahead of you.?
In a statement, American Idol sent its condolences to McKibbin's family and friends.
"Nikki McKibbin was an incredible talent and we are deeply saddened by the news of her passing," the TV show said in a statement posted on Twitter.
"She was part of our American Idol family and will be truly missed."
Martell Holt Speaks to Dr. Heavenly About His Estranged Wife About Why He Cheated and that she has had 2 Abortions?
“Love & Marriage: Huntsville” star Martell Holt is speaking out after his estranged wife Melody Holt made accusations about him cheating and possibly getting another woman pregnant.
The reality star hopped on video conference to chop it up with “Married To Medicine” star Dr. Heavenly Kimes – who is a friend of Melody’s - about his messy uncoupling with his estranged wife.
Melody – who filed for divorce from Martell after 12 years - hopped on IG Live to confirm her estranged husband is in fact expecting a baby with his alleged mistress, Arionne Curry. Yes, the mistress he infamously called "a peasant" last season. We've seen the baby registry, so it does appear to be a baby on the way. She has yet to confirm it's Martell's.
“Some things are true. I have cheated,” Martell Holt admitted.
However, he claims Melody cheated too. He claims she allegedly cheated on him before they signed on to star on the reality show and said if she’s going to tell things, she should tell the whole truth.
“But I’ll say to all women, take care of your man from the beginning. You know? If you know he has certain needs, take care of your man. Especially if your man is helping out at the house, taking care of the kids…I mean not just taking care of the kids, really the dominant parent. I’ve been the dominant parent when it came to my household. Always have been, I still am right now even going through this divorce, I still am.”\
Martell admitted he has been dealing with Arionne Curry for five years. He would cut her off and then go back to her.
“I know this is very wrong, but I say, ‘Melody, you see how you’re talking to me? You see how you’re doing? See, that’s why I cheated on you right there,’” he said.
Martell never confirmed or denied if Arionne is pregnant or had his baby. He did confirm they aren’t together…right now.
“Ya’ll gotta go ask her that,” he said referring to Arionne. “Ya’ll gotta ask her that.”
Martell said he cheated because she stopped having sex with him and stopped performing for him like she did previously. He revealed Melody went through two abortions and he wonders if someone else got her pregnant.
“You went throught this…I think twice. Why would you go through this if I’m your husband, if it’s mine why would you get an abortion?,” he questioned.
Martell claims he found inappropriate text messages between Melody and his frat brother, who is also her divorce attorney. He accused Melody of engaging in a romantic relationship with her divorce attorney. He said his frat brother was the one who sent him his divorce document, but he said his frat brother didn’t know he knew about their alleged “situationship.”
So Messy!
Megan Rapinoe And Sue Bird Are Engaged After Four Years Of Dating!🌈💞🌈
Athletes Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe have found a winning combo.
The couple announced their engagement Friday night on Bird's Instagram with a photo of Rapinoe kneeling and putting a ring on Bird's left land.
Bird, a guard for the Seattle Storm, and Rapinoe, a leader on the U.S. women's national soccer team, met at the 2016 Olympics and began dating not long after.
Bird has three WNBA championships and four Olympic gold medals. Rapinoe helped led her team to an Olympic gold meal and two World Cup titles.
There was no caption to the post announcing their engagement, but Bird's team posted congratulations on Twitter.
"Ring Season," the tweet said. "Congrats to THE power couple on their engagement!!!"
Rapinoe, 35, who once called herself "a walking protest," has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ and women's rights — helping spearhead a campaign to get pay equity for the U.S. women's national soccer team.
She and Bird, 40, have used their platforms to promote various like-minded causes, from supporting Black-owned businesses to encouraging people to vote.
from Black fashion designers throughout the event. They donned T-shirt looks that read "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and "GF" — which stands for George Floyd, who was killed by police in Minneapolis in June.
Bird publicly came out as gay and confirmed Rapinoe was her girlfriend in a July 2017 ESPN story
"It's happening when it's happening because that's what feels right," Bird told the outlet. "So even though I understand there are people who think I should have done it sooner, it wasn't right for me at the time. I have to be true to that. It's my journey."
"We have a lot in common and just sort of clicked," Rapinoe said of Bird in the 2017 story. "I joke she is my No. 1 go-to-for-advice person. She's just so levelheaded."
Man Pushes 73-year-old Grandmother In Front Of New York Train After Asked To Stop Smoking!
A video has been released showing a man pushing a 73-year-old woman on a subway track in Brooklyn, New York. According to 7Online New York, the incident happened around 1:30 PM at the station located on the southbound A/C platform at the Clinton-Washington station.
Authorities say the suspect was smoking marijuana on the platform when he walked by the 73-year-old grandmother, the 82-year-old grandfather, and their 30-year-old grandson.
The report says the grandson was taking his grandparents to apply for Medicaid, but when the grandson asked the suspect to stop smoking, that’s when things took a turn.
The suspect, who is described as having a light complexion, between the age of 25 to 30 years of age, 5’7, and 200lbs, punched Fan in the face. When the grandfather rushed to his aid, he was then beaten. And to make matters worse, the suspect pushed the elderly grandmother onto the tracks of an oncoming train.
Luckily, the conductor was able to stop in time.
But the trio suffered injuries, the grandfather has been released, but the two remain in the hospital with severe head injuries.
“When I saw my dad, he had blood behind his head and a bleeding lip. My mother had oxygen tubes inserted down her throat. Her legs were wrapped in bandaging,” daughter Ren Cheng said through a translator. She was too upset to appear on camera.
“How can there be people like this? You only say one thing, and they turn around and assault you? There’s no law and order anymore in America,” Cheng said.
“There are so many people walking around here that are ticking time bombs,” added Tiffany Coates of East New York.
