#RHOA: Nene Leakes Calls Out Porsha Williams and Threatens to Call Out More ‘RHOA’ Stars for Not Supporting Her Bravo Boycott!
Nene Leakes isn’t backing down from her campaign to boycott Bravo following her exit from one of the network’s staple shows, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta.” After a series of tweets accusing the television network of discrimination, a petition, and even a sit-down with civil rights attorney Ben Crump, Nene isn’t ready to concede. The former “RHOA” star revealed that she was even willing to call out current cast members, including on-again, off-again friend Porsha Williams to bolster her case
On Monday, Feb. 1, the 52-year-old took to her Twitter account, where she again called for fans to “stand up, protest, sign the petition &stop watching!” She added, “Even the cast that’s currently filming knows wrong is & was happening. They try to silence us! We MUST speak up when wrong is happening. I won’t stop.”
In another post, Nene accused Bravo of bribing a number of people. “They pay off & reward lawyers, managers, agents & even certain cast members to keep their dirty work going,” she wrote. “I won’t stop speaking out until something is done. I will call names if need be.”
When asked by a fan why former co-star Porsha wasn’t supporting her, given Porsha’s history of protesting for causes like the Black Lives Matter movement, Nene claimed that the mommy of one was afraid of losing her job. “They scared to loose their checks but you can’t let them get away with Discrimination, retaliation and blacklisting and unequal pay!” Nene explained. “There’s power in numbers. I will start calling EVERYBODY OUT.”
In her most recent post, the actress admitted that she hadn’t said anything publicly in the past regarding what she says is the mistreatment of Black talent at the hands of the network. However, she claims she “spoke out behind the scenes in emails, text messages and conferences call. I can show you!” Nene said. “I spoke to executive for help as well for years. it MUST STOP! It doesn’t matter your race, just fight for what’s right.”
Fans continue to be torn on the feud between Nene and Bravo, with many accusing the star of being bitter and a little too late with her protest. Meanwhile, Porsha has yet to address Nene for including her in the boycott saga.

Trey Songz Responds To Alleged Sex Tape Leak Online!
Trey Songz has seemingly addressed the rumors that a sex tape allegedly featuring the “Na Na” singer is circulating online.
On Wednesday, Songz, 36, posted two photos of himself with a confused look on his face while staring into a smartphone and wearing a hat that says “Hoesmad” on Instagram.
The “Slow Motion” singer simply captioned the slideshow with a shocked face emoji.
The post appears to be a response to the hashtag #Trey trending on Twitter on Wednesday after the singer’s alleged sex tape leaked online. WATCH A SNIIPET OF IT HERE
Reps declined to comment, and Songz has not confirmed that it is he in the video.
A fan reposted the alleged sex tape, stating that people claim it is Songz in the NSFW video because the man in the video has the same tattoos as he. Social media users then tried to compare the tattoos.
In the video, a woman is seen giving oral sex to an unidentified man whose face is not shown and we’re unable to confirm whether Songz is the man in the video.
Masked Singer Season 5: Niecy Nash to Serve as Temporary Host After Nick Cannon Tests Positive for COVID-19!
Prodigal Son: Catherine Zeta-Jones Arrives at Claremont (and Martin's Nervous!) in Season 2 First Look
The Masked Singer host Nick Cannon has tested positive for the coronavirus, our sister site Variety reports. As a result, he will sit out a few of the first episodes of the upcoming Season 5, which begins this week.
While Cannon is convalescing in quarantine, Niecy Nash (Claws, Getting On) will fill in as a temporary host.
Nash’s TV credits also include Mrs. America, Masters of Sex, Scream Queens, The Soul Man, Reno 911! and Never Have I Ever. She served as a Season 4 guest panelist on Masked Dancer and has appeared on I Can See Your Voice, hosted by Masked Singer‘s Ken Jeong. She has been nominated for multiple Emmys: twice for Getting On and most recently for her work in Netflix’s When They See Us.
The Masked Singer, which aired its Season 4 finale in December 2020, closed out the season with 7.1 million total viewers and a 1.7 demo rating, dominating the evening in both measures. Among regularly scheduled outings, the finale drew the season’s largest audience and second-highest demo number, trailing only the premiere.
The series, which was renewed in December, is slated to return later this year.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Are 'No Longer Speaking' as They Prepare to Divorce!
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West‘s marriage is essentially over. The 40-year-old reality star and 42-year-old rapper may not have officially filed for divorce yet, but a source shared with E! News that they “are completely done and no longer speaking.”
The source also added that Kim is “trying to stay strong and move on with her life” and that the separation is “completely official in her mind.”
It was first reported last month that Kim and Kanye had split up and that Kim is planning on filing for divorce soon.
The source says that Kim hasn’t officially filed yet because she “is still working out the logistics of announcing the divorce.”
Another source told E! that “Kanye is also completely done with the marriage and is moving on.”
“He doesn’t care what Kim’s priorities are with holding off on a divorce announcement,” the second source explained. “He will file before she’s ready if he has to. He wants the divorce just as much as Kim does.”
Kim and Kanye married six years ago in 2014 and share four kids, North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 21 months.
When Kim and Kanye do decide to file for divorce, there will be a LOT of money to divide up.
Arizona State University names film school after Sidney Poitier!
Veteran actor Sidney Poitier is getting his flowers while he’s still alive as Arizona State University named its new film school after him. According to The Associated Press, the university is expanding its existing film program into its own school and that it has invested millions of dollars in technology to create what’s intended to be one of the largest, most accessible and most diverse film programs.
“What we’re doing here is not just recognizing Sidney Poitier for his lifetime of achievements and his legacy, but naming our New American Film School for a person that embodies that which we strive to be — the matching of excellence and drive and passion with social purpose and social outcomes, all the things his career has stood for,” said ASU President Michael Crow in a statement.
Poitier also shot his classic film, Lilies of the Field, in Arizona in 1963. He would go on to receive an Oscar the following year for his performance and became the first Black actor to win an “Best Actor in a Leading Role.” Some of his other classic materials include The Defiant Ones, A Raisin in the Sun, In the Heat of the Night and Uptown Saturday Night.
“Arizona State University is deeply committed to the premise of inclusivity, and The Sidney Poitier New American Film School is an extension of that impact in an area of academic pursuit that will be advanced by representation of greater diversity and perspective,” Crow added.
Poitier, now 93, also made history starring in the 1967 film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. The film was controversial at that time because it was about an interracial relationship.

John Legend Mourns The Loss of His Grandmother In a Heartfelt Tribute!
John Legend is mourning the loss of his grandmother Marjorie. The singer revealed the heartbreaking news in a lengthy note on social media.
Along with several photos of him and his late grandmother, John shared that Marjorie passed away just a few days shy of her 91st birthday. In the note, he wrote a beautiful tribute, describing her life and some of his favorite memories of her. Read the full heartfelt message below:
"My beautiful grandmother, Marjorie Maxine Stephens, left this world early this morning, just a few days after her 91st birthday. We are so grateful for the life she lived, for the love she shared with her many children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and beyond. She was the most caring and conscientious grandmother you could imagine. She still sent us all birthday cards with cash until her final days. She hosted our yearly Christmas celebrations until we literally couldn’t fit in her little pink house on Heard Avenue in Springfield, Ohio. She was active and full of curiosity and energy until her final days. She always had a story to tell and words of encouragement and love. She supported us and rooted for us unconditionally. I’m so glad she got to see the fruits of all she gave us. She got to travel the world with us, went to my first Grammys. She got to experience the successes of all her offspring. We are the family we are, the individuals we are because of the love she poured into us. We are sad to lose her but most of all so appreciative of the full, blessed life she lived. May she Rest In Peace after running a great race."
Chrissy Teigen Sucked Into Twitter Controversy After Sharing $13,000 Wine Anecdote!
Chrissy Teigen is under fire for a seemingly harmless story she told on Twitter about wine. The model, who's married to Grammy-award winning artist John Legend, jumped on the timeline, telling an anecdote about a very expensive $13,000 bottle of wine she and her husband purchased one night, though it wasn't taken very well by Twitter users. The star was immediately bombarded with comments saying she was "too rich" and "tone deaf."
As many American citizens sit in wait for the next round of stimulus checks, it seems the star's story of exorbitant spending fell on uninterested ears –– but with a combined net worth of $75 million, $13,000 surely seems like a small drop in the bucket for the well-off family. While some on the internet chose to make yet another example of a rich celebrity, there were a few Twitter users who came to Tiegen's defense. "The grown adults whining about Chrissy Teigen's tweets are weird. I'm sorry it's weird. Go bully Ted Cruz. Like...," podcast host Akilah Hughes shared. "After the year she's had? I'm just confused. Like, you don't see how ugly this makes you seem?"
It all started with a seemingly innocent question. The model mom began a conversation with her followers, asking what the most expensive thing they've eaten that they didn't enjoy. It's unknown as to why the question was on her mind, though she probably didn't expect the backlash she received for her own answer.
what’s the most expensive thing you’ve eaten that you thought sucked?
Teigen revealed the famous couple once spent a whopping $13,000 on a bottle of wine –– "a nice cabernet." Then said, they didn't even finish the bottle.
Following the immediate flurry of tweets condemning her expensive wine tastes, Teigen defended her story, telling people that "not everything I say on my Twitter is going to be relatable." She admits she sees the comments being thrown at her, but sarcastically made it known that she's unfazed.
Dr. Oz, Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie & More To Host 'Jeopardy!'
The next batch of stars heading to Jeopardy! has been announced. On Tuesday (February 2), the long-running game show announced that Dr. Oz, Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie and Dr. Sanjay Gupta are among the forthcoming guest hosts set to take over the show following Alex Trebek's death. As with previous guests hosts, a donation will be made to a charity of their choice equal to the cumulative winnings of their contestants on their episodes. "We look forward to each guest host bringing their unique abilities to the show and to our contestants winning a lot of money that we can match for charity," Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards said in a statement.
74-time champ Ken Jennings is currently guest hosting Jeopardy! and will be followed by Richards, Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Whitaker and Mayim Bialik.
In the meantime, Jennings has been paying tribute to the late Trebek by signing off each episode by saying, "Thank you, Alex." Over on Twitter, the all-time champ explained where the sign off was born. "'Thanks, Alex' was suggested as a sign-off by executive producer Mike Richards, and I’m glad he did. There wouldn’t be a show without Alex," Jennings wrote in a reply to a fan’s commentary on the sign off. "Every single time @KenJennings thanks Alex at the end of @Jeopardy, I get all choked up. I hope he never stops," the fan wrote in her initial message.
Michelle Obama To Release New Edition of “Becoming” Aimed At Young Readers!
Former first lady Michelle Obama‘s best-selling memoir “Becoming” is about to reach a whole new, younger audience.
According to CBS News, Mrs Obama announced earlier that she plans to release a new edition of her book, especially for younger readers.
“Being honest about who I am and sharing my story in Becoming was one of the most freeing experiences of my life,” she shared in a post on Instagram. “And one of the highlights of my experience was hearing from so many of you and getting into the kind of deep, honest conversations that leave everyone feeling more connected and nourished.”
The former First Lady said she hopes the new edition of her book will be a conversation starter for younger audiences. “Maybe it’ll open up new dialogues with your children or grandchildren. Maybe you can use it as an opportunity to begin a book club with the young people you know or use it as an excuse to invite them into your existing book club,” Obama said.
The book’s website boasts that the new young readers edition is aimed at children ages 10 and older. It includes a special introduction especially for them written by Obama and three full-color photo inserts.
New paperback copies and young readers editions of “Becoming” will be available on March 2. Mrs. Obama encouraged young readers to read the book and tag her to share their thoughts on social media using the #iambecoming hashtag.
Wisconsin Prosecutors Ask Judge For New Arrest Warrant And Bail Increase For Kyle Rittenhouse!
Wisconsin prosecutors have filed a motion asking a judge for a new arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, along with a bail increase, after the teen violated his bail conditions when he didn’t inform the court of his new address.
The Associated Press reports that Rittenhouse failed to notify the court within 24 hours of his address change. His lawyer, Mark Richards, claims that he has been forced into an “undisclosed safe house” because of the death threats the teen has received. Richards allegedly told prosecutors in November if they would keep the address secret. They refused.
Prosecutors learned that Rittenhouse was no longer at the previous address when a notice from the court came back undeliverable in late January. Kenosha detectives went to the address on Tuesday and spoke with the current resident. The man had been living there since mid-December.
“He posted no money, so he has no financial stake in the bond,” prosecutors wrote in their motion. “He is already facing the most serious possible criminal charges and life in prison, so in comparison, potential future criminal penalties are insignificant.”
The safe house address was provided to the judge in a separation motion by Richards. In the motion, he requested it is kept sealed. He maintains that his client has made all of his court appearances and is in constant contact with him.
Rittenhouse is facing murder charges for fatally shooting two people and injuring one other person during a Black Lives Matter protest in August in Kenosha. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, responded to a militia’s call on social media to protect businesses during demonstrations.
