#RHOA: Kenya Moore Addresses ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Cast Shakeup!
Some cast members of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” might literally be gone with the wind soon.
During a September 9, 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kenya Moore gave an update on next season’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” hinting that there might be some big changes coming up.
“[There will] definitely be cast shakeup,” Moore admitted to the outlet. “Some new faces… and some old faces not there.” Moore also revealed that she will begin filming the new season in October.
Moore continued, making a jab at the recent casting rumors that have been swirling around for the past few months. “Word on the street is I may be out of a job,” Moore joked. “Here’s the thing, nobody really wants to be fired. I mean, my first job was Taco Bell. I wouldn’t want to be fired from there. I would want the option to leave if I wanted to go. God’s will, not my will, will be done. I have had an amazing run. It’s been 11 amazing years as a consistent peach-holder.”
Moore isn’t the only one who has hinted at some casting changes on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” During an August 2021 interview with Entertainment Tonight, host Andy Cohen also spoke about what’s coming up on the season.
“You know what? We are noodling with the configuration of Atlanta as we speak,” Cohen admitted during the August 10, 2021 interview. “I just threw out a little piece of paper that has the names of who I believe the cast will be. I am not going to show you … there are six names on this list.”
According to a June 2021 report by Radar Online, filming for season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” was pushed back due to uncertainty surrounding the current cast. According to blogger Love B. Scott, stars Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, and Cynthia Bailey are all rumored to have been let go from the franchise.
One Celebrity Has Some Casting Ideas for Next Season’s ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’
During a June 2021 episode of her talk show, host Wendy Williams seemed to have some casting ideas for the franchise, as she told Cynthia Bailey that she should be fired from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
“It should be you,” Williams told Bailey when she was a guest on her daytime talk show. “Let me tell you why, because there’s nothing more exciting that you can give to us. I don’t want to see you fight, I don’t want to see you get divorced, like, I think it’s time.”
Williams continued, “The only thing is, what will you do for a paycheck? But I was thinking, this is still a model, like Christie Brinkley.”
And, during an interview with People around that same time, Bailey herself admitted that she isn’t sure if she will be asked back to the franchise. “I don’t even know if I’m gonna be returning next season,” Bailey told the outlet at the time. “I don’t know what’s happening. I’m in a really happy place in my life. My fans got to see my happy ending. So I want them to be able to me happy.”
#MusicNews: SZA Releases New Song ‘The Anonymous Ones’!
SZA returns with new music as part of the soundtrack to Dear Evan Hansen.
“The Anonymous Ones” was written by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Amandla Stenberg, who co-stars in the movie. The powerful track serves as a reminder that everyone has their own struggles and insecurities. But when we open up to each other, we realize how much we can help one another.
“Keep on keeping secrets that they think they have to hide / What if everybody’s secret is they have that secret side? / And to know, to know we’re not alone / Is all we’re hoping for,” sings the TDE songstress. “I don’t wanna be anonymous anymore.”
LISTEN HERE
The 16-track soundtrack will be released the same day as the movie on Sept. 24 and includes contributions from Carrie Underwood, Tori Kelly, and FINNEAS, plus a collaboration with Sam Smith and Summer Walker (“You Will Be Found”).
Last month, SZA surprised fans by dropping three unreleased tracks on SoundCloud ahead of her long-awaited sophomore album.
Machine Gun Kelly And Conor Mcgregor Get Into A Fight On MTV VMAs Red Carpet!
Footage has emerged of Machine Gun Kelly and UFC fighter Conor McGregor having a fight on the red carpet at the MTV VMA awards last night (September 12) – watch it below.
Kelly was at the awards, held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to perform his new song ‘Papercuts’ with Travis Barker, while McGregor was presenting the Artist of the Year award, which went to Justin Bieber.
As footage shows, the pair had an altercation outside the awards on the red carpet. According to a report from People, the origin of the fight came when McGregor was refused a photo opportunity with the singer and rapper by Kelly’s team, which led him to allegedly swing his cane in Kelly’s direction.
“[McGregor] was ready to throw fists,” a source told People. “Security was having trouble holding him back.”
In a statement to Page Six after the altercation, a representative for McGregor said: “Conor only fights fighters.”
Machine Gun Kelly won in the only category he was nominated for at this year’s VMAs, taking home the Best Alternative award for his Blackbear collaboration ‘My Ex’s Best Friend’. The song is lifted from last year’s ‘Tickets to My Downfall’.
Elsewhere at the awards, Ed Sheeran performed ‘Shivers’ and ‘Bad Habits’ alongside a host of other performers including Kacey Musgraves, Foo Fighters, Lil Nas X, Twenty One Pilots, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Bieber.
A Clip of Harry and Meghan Was Reportedly Booed at a British Awards Show!
The National Television Awards—basically England’s Emmys—happened this week, filmed at London’s massive, 20,000-capacity O2 Arena and broadcast live on ITV. But what viewers at home didn’t see was a moment involving a clip of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that shocked some audience members.
The royals weren’t in attendance to the star-studded awards (though there’s speculation that they’ll attend the Emmys in the U.S. as Oprah's dates this year), but their presence was very much felt. During a compilation of the year’s biggest TV moments, a clip of the pair’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey got some air time. But, according to the Daily Mail, people watching the TV broadcast weren’t privy to what was happening in the stadium: That the audience reportedly started booing when Harry and Meghan appeared on-screen.
Speaking to two sources—one of whom the Mail describes as “a celebrity who asked not to be named"—the site reports that there were jeers from the crowd directed toward the couple’s images. “Some shouted out and there was laughing,” said the unnamed celeb source. “There were a few embarrassed faces but sadly Meghan was obviously not too popular on the night.”
Another source, described as someone in attendance in the audience at the NTA show, said that when the clip appeared, “Immediately, there was audible booing throughout the arena. It was as though they were pantomime villains.”
The Harry and Meghan sit-down interview with Oprah earlier this year, in which the couple revealed allegations of racism, in-fighting, and family tension about Meghan’s role in the royal family, sparked controversy and conversation all over the world. The Daily Mail article suggests the reported NTA booing incident reveals Harry and Meghan’s waning popularity in the UK, as the couple remain lightning rods for controversy across the pond. In the U.S., though, they remain rather beloved, so it seems unlikely that their presence at the Emmys (if it happens) would be met with any kind of vitriol.
And besides, even if some people didn’t like the revelations the interview unveiled, Prince Harry reportedly doesn’t regret taking part in it in the slightest.
Maryland Judge Kills Himself Moments Before Arrest For Child Sex Abuse
A Maryland judge took his own life on Friday morning, soon as the feds popped up at his home to arrest him in a child sex abuse case.
Caroline County Judge Jonathan Newell, 50, has been on a leave of absence since July after his investigation started. According to authorities, it has been allegations that he had hidden cameras in his bathroom to get pictures of naked boys.
Once the FBI showed up at his home on Friday, they found him “suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” and was pronounced dead at 6:43 a.m
“Maryland State Police will lead the investigation into the apparent suicide,” prosecutors shared in a news release on Friday afternoon.
Kimberly Keith, who is Newell’s neighbor sent pictures to Facebook showing the FBI agents posted in front of the judge’s house demanding for him to come outside. Then she shared that she heard a gunshot not too long after the FBI arrives.
According to the criminal complaint, investigators responded to a call that a boy had found a hidden camera in Newell’s bathroom. Following the call, authorities interviewed two boys, both minors who shared they “spent the night” at Newell’s home and discovered cameras in his bathroom on July 22nd.
Victims described showering at Newell’s home and almost all of them said that “while in the bathroom, Newell checked their bodies for ticks,” according to the complaint.
“At least two of the males stated they were naked when Newell checked them for ticks—one stated that he moved his genitalia for Newell to look for ticks, and the other initially did not recall if Newell touched his genitalia, but later stated that Newell once or twice moved the minor’s genitalia to look for ticks,” the complaint stated.
Madonna Wears Veiled Look to VMAs After Party with Her Former Dancer Sofia Boutella!

For those who don’t know, Sofia was a dancer and model before she moved into acting. Her final appearance on stage was as a dancer in Madonna‘s 2012 Super Bowl halftime show.
“I woke up one morning feeling that I did not want to dance anymore,” Sofia told the New York Post about her decision to start acting. “I told Madonna that even if it takes two years, I know I have to do this. It literally took two years. Not one paycheck! I was about to become a housekeeper; I figured that I would make $100 per house every day, and that was a lot of money for me at the time.”
Sofia is now best known for her roles in Kingsman: The Secret Service, Star Trek Beyond, and The Mummy.

Britney Spears is engaged to Sam Asghari!
Britney Spears is engaged! The pop princess announced — rather fittingly, on the night of the MTV VMAs — that she is getting married to boyfriend Sam Asghari. The 39-year-old flashed a diamond ring as she broke the news on Instagram Sunday night, writing, "I can't f***ing believe it!!!!!!!"
Spears is shown with cherry-red highlights as she kisses her actor beau. "Look at that," Asghari, 27, says of her new engagement bling. "You like it?"
"Yes," his new fiancée gushes in response.
Asghari, who has been dating Spears since they met in 2016 on the set of her music video for "Slumber Party," shared his own sassy post. His announcement shows the couple kissing as the bride-to-be defiantly raises her ring finger.
Asghari's manager, Brandon Cohen, told People he was "proud to celebrate and confirm the engagement," adding that the singer's "one-of-a-kind" ring was designed by jeweler Roman Malayev.
"The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them," said Cohen.
Mario Lopez and Asghari's Black Monday colleagues Seth Rogen, Andrew Rannells and Paul Scheer were among those offering the couple hearty congratulations.
The engagement comes amid Spears's controversial conservatorship battle. Just days ago the star's father, Jamie Spears, filed a legal petition to end his 13-year conservatorship following allegations from his daughter that he has used his position to control every facet of her life, including her ability to get married and have more children.
Spears has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline; a 2004 Las Vegas wedding to Jason Alexander was swiftly annulled.

Surprise! Uzo Aduba Secretly Married Filmmaker Robert Sweeting in 2020!
Surprise! Uzo Aduba is married! The Orange Is the New Black star, 40, tied the knot with filmmaker Robert Sweeting last year, a source confirms to PEOPLE. The couple quietly said "I do" in a secret ceremony held in New York.
"They are celebrating their one-year anniversary this year," the insider adds.
Aduba opened up about her marriage for the first time in an Instagram post on Sunday while quoting When Harry Met Sally.
"For some of us, it can feel like we spend our whole lives waiting for our special someone. My heart, my love — I'm so happy my life started last year with you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me," she wrote.
The news comes nearly four years after the actress — who has historically been private about her personal life — expressed excitement about seeing her sister Chioma get married.
"It was unbelievable," the In Treatment star recalled on Live with Kelly & Ryan in 2017. "It was such a great experience. She got married in Majorca, Spain. This is the third wedding in our family, but Cheech, you know, we're the closest in age and just, you know, have that little like, roommates forever [bond].
She added: "It was a beautiful, beautiful day, beautiful experience and [her husband] is great."
Last November, Aduba's mother died, though the actress didn't publicly share the news until April. Aduba has since said that her starring role in HBO's In Treatment helped her to cope with her mom's passing.
"It's never easy to lose anyone. It's certainly not easy to hold proximity to a loss when your character is experiencing a similar loss," she said on PEOPLE (the TV Show!) in May. "I thank HBO a thousand times for giving the space that was needed to help start that process. I think that it's challenging, but what I know is that it was also deeply healing at the same time."
Chloë Bailey Defends Her Right To Show Skin In Her New Video For ‘Have Mercy’!
The 23-year-old singer is making her mark as a solo artist after getting her start as one-half of the sister duo Chloe X Halle. Her new video has a much more grown-up look and feels than her previous videos, leading some to question why she’s showing so much of herself.
She set the record straight in an Instagram Q&A session.
“Why are you showing so much skin?” Bailey said. “Because I can.”
She added, “It’s my body, and I am so proud of it, and I hope you’re proud of yours too.”
The video dropped Friday, featuring a cameo from Tina Knowles-Larson. It was directed by Karen Evans and Chloe Bailey, playing a sorority girl who turns men to stone.
Octavia Spencer Tells Britney Spears to Make Sam Asghari Sign a Prenup!
Octavia Spencer is ALL of us once we heard Britney Spears is engaged to boyfriend Sam Asghari.
via Page Six:“Make him sign a prenup,” the Oscar winner, 51, commented on Spears’ Instagram post Sunday, according to screenshots circulating on social media.
Page Six was unable to confirm the authenticity of the screenshots, and the comment appears to have been taken down.
A rep for Spencer did not immediately return our request for comment.
Most of Spears’ fans appeared supportive of Spencer’s alleged comment given that the “Overprotected” singer’s father, Jamie Spears, has been accused of mismanaging the pop star’s funds during her 13-year conservatorship.
“Octavia Spencer removed the comment but tbh were all thinking it,” one person tweeted. “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE HIM SIGN AN IROM CLAD PRENUP.”
Highlighting Britney’s second marriage to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, another fan wrote, “Octavia Spencer looking out for her too. Ain’t gonna let a [sic] another federline happen.”
A third commented, “She’s right tho love is fickle and Britney done suffered to get all her property in her hands. the thought of her ever losing part of it to someone else is honestly just so nauseating.”
One person pointed out, however, that Britney and her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, may have already considered a prenup given the financial issues the “Lucky” singer, 39, has dealt with as a result of her conservatorship.
“Why is everyone acting like she hasn’t thought of this?” the fan tweeted. “She spent the past 13 years in a legal fight for her rights and still pays alimony to Kfed. I’m sure she knows what a prenup is at this point, and that Rosengart will advise her on protecting her assets.”
Asghari, 27, popped the question Sunday at Britney’s home with a ring that has a 4-carat round brilliant stone in a platinum cathedral setting, enhanced with a floating solitaire design.
He is an Iranian-born personal trainer and actor who has landed roles in Showtime’s “Black Monday,” HBO Max’s “Hacks” and BET’s “The Family Business.”
Britney and Asghari started dating in late 2016. They met on the set of a music video for her song “Slumber Party,” in which Asghari played her love interest.
Most recently, both have openly expressed their desire to take the next step in their relationship.
During her bombshell June 23 testimony, the “Stronger” singer told the court that she wanted to marry her boyfriend and have a baby, but the conservatorship wouldn’t allow it. Asghari has said that he just wants a “normal” future with Britney.
Russell Westbrook Attends New York Fashion Week In A Long White Skirt!
Russell Westbrook chose to challenge gender norms this past weekend!
Yesterday (Sunday, Sept. 12th) marked the end of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2021. Before the iconic fashion event wrapped, NBA star Russell Westbrook notably made a statement with one outfit. This past Saturday (Sept. 11th), Russell Westbrook attended the Thom Browne Spring 2022 show wearing a white skirt and a cardigan. The 32-year-old point guard accessorized his look with a diamond choker, leather boots, and blue hair.
Russell Westbrook also shared the look on his Instagram account, adding the caption:
“‘Don’t address me unless it’s with four letters’ @kendricklamar.”
The lyrics Russell Westbrook captioned his image with are from Kendrick Lamar‘s verse on “family ties” by Baby Keem.
It is also worth noting that Russell Westbrook wasn’t the only male celebrity to rock a skirt at NYFW 2021. On Saturday (Sept. 11th), Kid Cudi attended the Studio 189 fashion show while wearing a long black skirt. He was also wearing a long sleeved Nirvana sweatshirt and–like Russell Westbrook–had blue hair.
Rick Ross Finally Gets His Driver’s License!
Rick Ross finally has his driver’s license. After years of driving without a license, the 45-year-old rapper revealed that he took his driver’s test and received his license two weeks ago.
“My mom and my sister pressured me, finally, so I went, took the test. It took me an hour. I missed a few answers, but I got it,” he said during an interview on “Today.”
He was driving without a license for over a decade, but was able to get out of a ticket by charming the officers. “It’s just something about my smile… Anytime I got pulled over, by the time the officer walked up…” said Rozay, who flashed his smile.
Earlier this year, the Biggest Boss revealed that he owned 100 cars but was driving them illegally because he didn’t have his license.
Tiffany Haddish Claps Back at Social Media Troll Who Says Common Is Too Good for Her!
Most of the time, celebrities are using their social media platforms to share photos or promote their work, or stay in touch with fans, but every once in a while they have to defend themselves against a troll.
Tiffany Haddish recently had to clap back at a troll after they made an insulting comment about her relationship with rapper and actor Common. The comedian, who was minding her business and being a supportive girlfriend, reposted a video of Common rapping a freestyle on Power 106 FM. She wrote, “This is real HipHop. I am so proud of him. I Love when a man knows how to use his words. @common album comes out tomorrow make sure you get it.”
While most people in the comments praised the 49-year-old’s flow skills, there was another person that decided to use their comment to snub the entertainers’ relationship. They wrote, “👏I TOTALLY AGREE👏 THIS IS WHY I DONT UNDERSTAND HIM BEING WITH U🙄.”
Haddish, 41, responded, “Not for you to understand. Just enjoy the music.” Apparently, Haddish has a thing for answering people that are trolling her or making up lies about her. On a recent episode of her show “Friday Night Vibes,” which she co-hosts with Deon Cole, Haddish and Common sat down to answer some questions about each other and their relationship. One of the questions Cole asked Common was, “What’s a topic that sets Tiffany off?”
“I mean, I think she only get set off when somebody kind of like trolling her, or somebody is saying something that ain’t true about her. That’s when I seen her get more salty,” Common said. He further explained that the “Girls Trip” actress “don’t be looking for a fight. Or trying to always beef with somebody. She try to talk things through and we talk things through.”
Haddish and Common became friends after working together on their 2019 film “The Kitchen.” By July 2020, Haddish confirmed their friendship had advanced to a romantic relationship, and the two were quarantining together during the pandemic.
In an interview with Steve-O, Haddish described their relationship as the “the best relationship I’ve ever been in.” Common expressed similar sentiments about Haddish in an interview earlier this year on “Live with Ryan and Kelly.” He said, “You know, I just care for her a lot, enjoy her, and am grateful to have her in my life … I’m happy.”
Lizzo Surprised Her Mom With A Brand New Wardrobe For Her Birthday!
Singer Lizzo just set the bar extremely high when it comes to gift-giving as the 33-year-old celebrated her mother on her birthday with a beautiful gift that would make anybody swoon.
On Friday, September 10, the “Rumors” singer gifted her mother, Shari Johnson-Jefferson, with an entire brand new wardrobe for her birthday and took to Instagram to share her mother’s unexpected and emotional reaction to the plethora of new clothes.
In the minute-long video, we see Lizzo bring her mom into a closet full of clothes while a piano plays in the background. As the two walk into the closet, Lizzo says, “Wow, it’s set up nice in here, huh?” Her mother adoringly agrees with her daughter without even realizing that the closet full of clothes is her birthday gift. The mother of three then begins browsing through the clothes which include dresses, pants, and blouses, as she sips on champagne and lives her best life.
Lizzo then asks her mom if she “likes these clothes?” before finally revealing to her mother that, “These are your clothes,” which immediately triggered Shari’s tears.
The mother and daughter then share a special moment and in between the laughter and crying, Ms. Johnson jokes, “I don’t have to look like a bum anymore!” To which her daughter replies, “No ma’am, not on my watch!”
After Ms. Johnson regains her composure, the video concludes with the mother of three modeling her new outfits from her selection of clothing.
“Ever since daddy passed you’ve been telling me it’s been hard to dress nice for yourself,” Lizzo captioned the heartfelt video. “I know I can’t bring ur best friend back… but I still wanna give you the world. Happy birthday mommy, I love you. Time to be FLYY, girl! Thank you @jasonrembert.”
But this isn’t the first time the singer has gone above and beyond when it comes to giving Lizzo is known for her extravagant gifts, especially for her mama. Last Christmas, she surprised her mom with a black Audi SVU for the holiday and took to IG to share the special present as well.
‘Got my mommy a brand new Audi for Xmas. “I remember crying in my car when my daddy passed, no job, no money, nowhere to live, wishing I could one day provide for my family,” she said in the post’s caption before adding, “I couldn’t do it for my dad so ima make sure I spoil Mama. Happy holidays y’all.”
RuPaul Ties Record As Most-Awarded Black Artist In Emmys History As Best Host Winning Streak Continues!
RuPaul done already done had her Emmys 10 times over. The RuPaul's Drag Race producer-host won two more career awards at Sunday's Creative Arts Emmys, tying his overall hardware tally with cinematographer Donald A. Morgan as the most-awarded Black artists in the awards show's history.
RuPaul has now won the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program award across six consecutive years for his work on the televised drag queen pageant. He became the category's most-decorated recipient ever last year with his fifth victory, bounding past the four wins amassed by Survivor's Jeff Probst.
Morgan, an industry veteran, previously won his hardware for camera work on shows like The Ranch and beloved sitcom Home Improvement — the latter of which earned him seven trophies between 1992 and 1999. Trailing just behind RuPaul and Morgan's shared record is Hayma Washington, who has seven Emmys for producing The Amazing Race.
In the hosting category, RuPaul claimed the prize over fellow nominees Nicole Byer (Nailed It!), and the hosting teams of Top Chef, Shark Tank, and Queer Eye.
The drag icon picked up a second trophy at the Creative Arts Emmys when Untucked won Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program. RuPaul is one of the executive producers of the Drag Race companion series.
RuPaul will next compete for his fourth consecutive Outstanding Competition Program trophy as an executive producer of RuPaul's Drag Race at the Primetime Emmys ceremony. A win would make him the new record holder of most Emmys for a Black artist.
His accomplishments come after a banner year that saw Los Angeles-based performer Symone winning season 13 in April, followed by season 2 alum Kylie Sonique Love — the first trans woman to win an American Drag Race title — taking the All Stars 6 crown last week.
"We encourage them that this is their time. In a true docu-style, we're letting them lead the action. As producers, it's important to be a good listener. You need to be," producer San Heng recently told EW about working with RuPaul's crew to create Untucked's best moments. "We have no agenda in Untucked, other than capturing whatever we can. We try to anticipate what might happen, but [the queens] surprise me all the time, and what they surprise me with is far better than anything I can anticipate."
The 73rd Emmys will be handed out Sunday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and will stream live on Paramount+ for Premium subscribers. See the full list of nominees.
