#RHOA: Kenya Moore & Daughter Brooklyn Posed for a Luxe Pink Parisian Fashion Shoot!

Kenya Moore and her mini me, daughter Brooklyn Daly, are making an adorable habit of turning heads in high fashion. The Real Housewives of Atlanta entrepreneur and her precious tot have doubled our fun in coordinating outfits including a set of fabulous fringe dresses. But in a recent Instagram post, Kenya shared that they have a stunning series of photos headed our way that will be trés chic.

Perhaps they were inspired by Kenya's recent admission that little Brooklyn is already hard at work on becoming fluent in French? Or maybe they both just have a penchant for la belle jolie? Either way, on December 29, Kenya revealed a behind the scenes clip as the mother-daughter-duo posed in Parisian-inspired looks set against an impressive Eiffel Tower statue.


Kenya donned an embellished, white bustier top with a frilly, black, tulle maxi skirt and blush, pink, leather moto jacket in the snippet captioned "Oh la la". Meanwhile, little Brooklyn looked every bit the Paris transplant in a super sweet, light pink, pointelle skirt (meep) with a matching, itty bitty jacket. And yes, we spotted the teeny Chanel crossbody bag as well.


It doesn't get any cuter than this.

#MusicNews: Rihanna Responds to Fan Asking for 'R9' Album: '2021 Energy'!

It’s only been 2021 for a few hours, but a Rihanna fan already has their foot on the singer's neck for her dangerously anticipated next music project.

RiRi took to Instagram to celebrate the new year, posting a selfie with the caption, “new year’s resolution: apply the pressure.”

User @sgggbrina immediately swooped in and wrote, “Resolution should be releasing the album.” Rihanna returned with a memo for the fan: “this comment is sooo 2019. grow up.”

The singer’s long-rumored and now-infamous album R9 has been in the works for some time. Our most recent glimpse at the project-to-be was in September when Skylar Grey shared a snippet of a song she'd revealed that she worked on with Diplo for Rihanna’s album. She and Diplo reportedly collaborated on the song “when Rihanna was supposedly doing some kind of reggae album,” according to Grey.


And just a year ago, in late December 2019, Rihanna shared a mysterious video on IG where she appeared to hint at the project. “Update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it,” she wrote, with a clip of a small white dog energetically head-banging to House of Pain’s classic cut “Jump Around.”



#HipHopNews: British Born Rapper MF Doom Dead At 49!

MF Doom has died at 49 years old. Doom, who was born Daniel Dumile in London on Jan. 9, 1971, passed away on Oct. 31, 2020. The cause of death has not been revealed.


The news of the British-born rapper's death was shared via his social media accounts on Thursday (Dec. 31). In a statement written by MF Doom's wife, Jasmine, she expressed how much the influential rhymer meant to their family and praised the man he was prior to his passing.

"Begin all things by giving thanks to THE ALL!

MF Doom's team offered a statement as well. "With heavy hearts, we share these words from MF DOOM’s family. It is our wish to continue to respect their privacy at this difficult time," the statement reads.


The passing of the masked rapper comes three years after the death of his 14-year-old son, Malachi Ezekiel Dumile. MF Doom shared the tragic news via Facebook back in 2017. The cause of death was not shared at the time



Taylor Dayne Responds to Fallout After Attending Maskless Trump Mar-a-Lago NYE Party!

Recording artist Taylor Dayne, staple entertainer on gay cruise ships, Masked Singer contestant, and longtime LGBTQ ally, defended herself on Twitter over backlash after it was revealed she attended the Trump New Year’s Eve party at the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

No masks were worn at the party, where Berlin’s Terri Nunn performed “Take My Breath Away”.

Wrote Dayne, responding to criticism, on Twitter (the tweet has since been deleted): “I’m saddened by all this. I have a 30 yr careers s that many diverse friendships .and I try to stay non political and non judgmental and not preach . I sing from my heart purely and from Source. I wish for all to be who they need to be .. and find their way.”

Dayne didn’t receive much sympathy from the Twitterverse. She’s being dragged from the LGBTQ Community in grand fashion!



Beyoncé Shares Unseen Footage of Blue Ivy, Rumi & Sir as She Celebrates the End of 2020!

While 2020 will go down as one of the worst years in recent memory for many, Beyoncé has managed to give her fans plenty of things to smile about. From the release of Black Is King on Disney+ to performing on the "Savage" remix with Megan Thee Stallion to her charity BEYGOOD offering grants to those impacted by the eviction crisis, Beyoncé has continually shown she is there for people.


And now, as she reflects on the year, Beyoncé has posted oodles of unseen footage on Instagram in her "Cheers to 2020" video. "Cheers to a New Year Beehive!! 🎆🎊," the singer captioned her video compilation. "2020 divided us and united us. Most could not see loved ones and we felt too many loses, but we were united by our humanity." She continued, "This year for me has been about celebrating joy, chasing happiness, and living in love."

From footage of her children to previously unseen outfits, Beyoncé really spoiled us with her end of year drop. The superstar shared a clip of her daughter, Rumi, rapping, before Beyoncé asked the little girl if she'd had a good summer. The exchange was too cute.

Rumi and Sir even posed together wearing pieces from Ivy Park's collaboration with Adidas.

She also shared photos and footage captured on New Year's Eve last year, as the family celebrated the end of 2019. Blue Ivy looked so grown up in the snaps.


Beyoncé's end of year video even included a montage of her dancing to Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage Remix" which featured the one and only Queen Bey. Beyoncé opted to wear only animal-print looks while dancing, singing, and posing to the hit track, and she looked absolutely stunning in every single outfit. Fans were quick to point out the epic segment, and its accompanying wardrobe.

Nicki Minaj Shares New Photos Of Baby Son: 'Becoming A Mom Is By Far The Most Fulfilling Job'!

Nicki Minaj is sharing the first full photos of her baby son on Instagram.

On Saturday, the 38-year-old rapper, who gave birth to her first child on Sept. 30, published an adorable slideshow of photos writing, “#PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama. Wishing you guys a happy & prosperous New Year. Thank you for your love & support throughout this journey. It’s meant so much to me.”

She added, “Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on. Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there. Big hugs to all the women who have been pregnant during this challenging time.”


In the images, the child, whose name was not announced, sits in an infant seat wearing designer clothing from Burberry, Versace and Fendi and a gold necklace spelling out “Papa Bear.” A video captioned “Best of 2020” shows the baby wearing a red-and-green sweatsuit. Prior to Saturday, Minaj had only posted an Instagram photo of the baby’s tiny foot.

In October 2019, Minaj wed Kenneth Petty, 42, dropping the news on Instagram with a video showing “Mr.” and “Mrs.” coffee mugs and “Bride” and “Groom” baseball hats. “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty,” she wrote, along with their wedding date. Months earlier, the “Moment 4 Life” singer had changed her Twitter name to Mrs. Petty, driving wedding rumors.

Last week, Minaj shared her motherhood story on Twitter, including feeling her unborn baby kick, the moment her water broke while she was “butt naked” after a shower and her two-and-a-half hour delivery. The first-time mom also confessed that nursing and pumping breast milk was uncomfortable.


“He had no problem breastfeeding,” tweeted Minaj. “He latched on in the hospital which was very surprising to me. I was afraid maybe he wouldn’t. But breast feeding is very painful. Pumping is too. Women make this stuff look way too easy. Moms [are] really superheroes.”


The singer also revealed which celebrities gave advice and gifts (Ciara and Ariana Grande) and promised to eventually reveal her son’s name.

IRS Accuses Prince’s Estate Of Undervaluing Worth: Report!

You could buy a fleet of little red Corvettes, and plenty of rasberry berets with the money from Prince‘s estate, if the IRS is to be believed.

The Internal Revenue Service insists the singer’s estate is worth a whopping $163.2 million and is accusing administrators of undervaluing his assets by $80 million, according to a report.


The singer died in his Minnesota home in April 2016. He was 57, and left no will.

Comerica Bank & Trust, which oversees the estate, has pegged its value at $82.3 million, but the IRS has said in federal tax court document’s the “Purple Rain” singer’s estate is so much larger, they’re owed another $32.4 million in taxes, according to the Star Tribune.


The dispute has led Comerica to ask the tax court for a trial, which could drag out the estate battle for years and generate legal fees to drain the estate even more.



'Power' Star Naturi Naughton Got Engaged For Christmas!

Actress Naturi Naughton’s holiday season came with an extra sparkle. Two days before Christmas, the Power Book II: Ghost star got engaged. Now she’s sharing her love story and engagement photos exclusively with ESSENCE.

“I’m still floating from my engagement,” shared Naughton, 36, of her news. The actress, who has been very private about her personal life, isn’t quite ready to share which lucky guy will have the honor of meeting her at the altar, but she did open up about how it all went down.


Just days before Christmas, Naughton thought she and her daughter Zuri, 3, were showing up for a princess-themed photo shoot arranged by her love. She thought the plan was to take family photos for the holidays. He’d taken care of everything. “This amazing man of mine planned this whole photoshoot, complete with my glam team and stylist might I add, for me and my daughter with matching princess dresses. All I had to do was show up!” Then something unexpected happened. “We are all just taking pictures as normal, then the music changes to a song called ‘Looking For Love’ by Mul-Ty,” Naughton shared. “Out of nowhere I see Mickey, Minnie, and the whole Disney crew walk in, and then I see my parents and one of my best friends walk in behind them—all wearing their masks. I was in shock! When I turned around, my now fiancé was down on one knee! Ahhhhh!”


Her fiancé had planned a special proposal for Naturi and her daughter. “He promised to take care of me and my daughter,” said Naughton. “Then he asked would I ‘do life with him forever’ and I said, ‘YES!’ The most beautiful part of the proposal is that he gave Zuri a ring too, with her birthstone (Ruby) in it. My fiancé said that his commitment to me is also a lifetime commitment to her. Zuri admired her ring, then said, ‘Oh For me?’ She was so happy.

For Naughton, her fiancé also including her daughter in the magic moment really sealed the deal. “It makes me happy that they have a great bond as well,” she said. “Any man that I would choose would have to know that Zuri and I are a package deal!”

Finding true love has double meaning for Naughton, she said that it wasn’t always something she saw in her future. “Three years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful Black princess and then suddenly I became a single mother overnight, all while shooting a hit show,” she recalled. “But underneath the makeup of Tasha St. Patrick, Naturi was dealing with a plethora of emotional bruises and scars. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if my heart could mend from the pain of past relationships, but won’t He do it? Today I am overcome with gratitude. I feel so blessed that God sent me a man who values me, my daughter, my family and has his own close relationship with God.”


So how exactly did Naughton and her mystery man meet? She has her TV husband to thank for introducing her to the love of her life.


“I never imagined that one random night in NY would change my life so much,” Naughton recalls. “I had no idea I was about to meet the best teammate ever. Omari Hardwick and I were recording a song together and Omari was like, ‘oh you gotta meet my people’. On that night, I met this kind, handsome, southern gentleman who would love me like I’ve never been loved. From that point on, we talked every day, quietly dated and fell in love. Thank you, TV hubby, for introducing me to my future hubby!”

Naughton hasn’t revealed her wedding plans or date but for now she’s content living in the moment and celebrating this new chapter.


“I know it sounds cheesy, but I truly feel like a Princess who has finally found her Prince.”



'Dr. Love' Arrested Again For Fraud, Grand Theft!

Malachi Love-Robinson, who spent time in prison as a teen for posing as a doctor, is accused of taking more than $10,000 from his employer. He reportedly had clients send money to him directly rather than to the shipping company where he worked.


At 18, he went by "Dr. Love" and illegally operated a medical practice, even donning a lab coat and stethoscope and renting office space, reports said. He told patients he had various degrees, including a Ph.D. and M.D.

Love-Robinson claimed he never posed as a doctor. Rather, he said, he was working as a naturopathic physician, reports said.


In 2018, he pleaded guilty to charges of fraud, grand theft and practicing medicine without a license, reports said. He spent 21 months in a maximum-security prison in Fort Myers.



Wisconsin Police Arrest Pharmacist Accused Of Leaving COVID-19 Vaccines Out Of Refrigerator!

Wisconsin police have arrested a pharmacist accused of removing 57 vials of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine from the refrigerator at a local hospital.

CNN reports that the man left the vaccine out, “knowing it would not be usable,” police said in a press release on Thursday. The pharmacist, identified by The Daily Mail as Steven Brandenburg, said in a written statement to Aurora Medical Center in Grafton that he intentionally removed the vials knowing the doses would be ineffective.


“Based on information available, (we) determined that the vaccine was still able to be administered on the morning of December 26, given the 12-hour period of viability after removal of refrigeration,” Dr. Jeff Bahr said, president of the facility, said. According to Moderna, the vaccine can last up to 12 hours outside of a refrigerator.


However, based on the pharmacist’s additional information in his statement, the vials were also left out of the refrigerator for some time on December 24 and 25. The 57 vaccinations that were found setting out by a pharmacy tech and given on December 26 are now thought to be less effective or ineffective. The hospital system has not said how much time the vials spent sitting out.

The pharmacist is being held at Ozaukee County Jail and could be charged with felony first-degree recklessly endangering safety, adultering a prescription drug, and criminal damage to property.


 In total, more than 500 doses were lost. Hospital officials are partnering with Moderna and the US Food and Drug Administration to figure out an approach on how to handle those who received the 57 doses.

“This matter is being actively investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Grafton Police Department,” Grafton police said in a statement. As a result of the ongoing investigation, no other information is being released by officials.


The pharmacist’s name has not been released.



Vandals target homes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell!

Vandals went on a spray-painting spree at the homes of Congress’ top two leaders in separate graffiti blitzes that appeared to target Capitol Hill’s failure to send out fatter stimulus checks.


The Louisville, Ky., home of GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the San Francisco residence of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were both splattered with angry messaging — and at Pelosi’s home, a severed pig’s head, according to reports.

On Saturday morning, a misspelled “where’s my money” and expletives were splashed across the front door and bricks of McConnell’s residence, the Courier-Journal reported.


Graffiti reading, "Were's my money" is seen on a door of the home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch

“I’ve spent my career fighting for the First Amendment and defending peaceful protest. I appreciate every Kentuckian who has engaged in the democratic process whether they agree with me or not,” McConnell said.

“This is different. Vandalism and the politics of fear have no place in our society,” he said, adding he has “never been been intimidated by this toxic playbook. We just hope our neighbors in Louisville aren’t too inconvenienced by this radical tantrum.”


A day earlier, Pelosi’s house was blitzed, a CBS affiliate reported.

About 2 a.m. on Friday, vandals painted “Cancel rent” and “We want everything” and then left a a severed pig’s head in a pool of red paint in front of her garage, the news outlet reported.

“I don’t think that this is a useful way to go about it and it’s a terrible start to this new year, when we are hoping for less anger and hatred than we’ve had to deal with for the last year,” Pelosi neighbor Audrey Carlson told KPIX.

Pelosi, who helped spearhead passage of a bill to increase $600 stimulus checks to $2,000, was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the spree.


But on Saturday, McConnell wouldn’t allow a vote on the proposed hike in direct cash payments to American households that qualify, called the CASH Act.

And time’s running out.The current session of Congress ends at noon Sunday. At that point, all pending bills will expire.

Those who’ve groused about the $2,000 relief checks say it doesn’t go to people who need the money the most. Chief among those with a dim view is McConnell himself, who’s called the measure an effort to “send thousands of dollars to people who don’t need the help.”


The Senate’s second-ranking Republican, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, also is no fan, deriding the CASH Act as “a shotgun approach where a rifle makes a lot more sense.”

Uncle Sam has already started sending out the $600 stimulus checks that Congress approved on Dec. 21, and which President Trump signed off on last week.


In the long-shot chance a deal to increase payments to $2,000 is reached, the IRS has said it would send another payment for the additional amount to anyone who already received a $600 check.
