#FASHIONFILES: Haley Bennett at the “Cyrano” London Premiere Hot or Not?
Cyrano star Haley Bennett stepped out in a Custom Elena Dawson Dress with Jimmy Choo Shoes.
Haley Bennett attended the premiere of ‘Cyrano’ held at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Tuesday (December 7) in London, England.
The actress looked like she walked into a gothic garden wearing an Elena Dawson custom gown and with Jimmy Choo Shoes
I love how this deconstructed ball gown is bursting with historical elements. I’m intrigued to know what the references were. There is definitely a story to be told. Starting with an English rose from the Victorian era.
Elena Dawson’s signature floral accents helped imbue a romantic aura.
I was actually really impressed with this outing.
Haley doesn’t want to follow her peers; she’s clearly forging her own path style-wise and this is a glowing example. So what do YOU think is it HOT or NOT?
#RHOA #TWIRL: Oh? Kenya Moore Says Cynthia Bailey Is Jealous Because She Got Along With RHUGT Cast Members
Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore aren’t on the best of terms. Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey developed a friendship over the years. “Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans remember that it wasn’t an easy journey for them either. At times, the other women were critical of their relationship. NeNe Leakes didn’t feel it was genuine. She even felt like the two women were in an alliance with Kandi Burruss to push her off the show. Porsha Williams and Tanya Sam have warned Cynthia about Kenya. They pointed at the fact that Kenya shaded Cynthia’s wine expertise not too long after Cynthia opened her wine cellar. Regardless, Cynthia said she was confident in their friendship. And nothing would cause them to fall out.
Well, the women had a lot of tension when they filmed “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.” They were joined by other stars of the franchise. Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga.
Before the trip began, Cynthia received phone calls from the other ladies to inquire about Kenya. They were nervous that they would struggle to get along with her. Interestingly enough, Kenya got along great with everyone with the exception of Cynthia and Ramona. However, Kenya and Ramona were able to hash things out. But the conversation Cynthia wanted with Kenya never happened. As a result, their friendship took a major hit. And the trip left Kenya thinking that the real issue Cynthia had was she was jealous Kenya gelled with the other women better than Cynthia did.
Cynthia Bailey didn’t form the friendships she wanted on “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.”
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans have been discussing Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore’s fallout. Everything was fine between them until they filmed “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.” Before the ladies got together, some of them were worried about clashing with Kenya. So they called Cynthia to voice their concerns and to be assured that Kenya wasn’t impossible to get along with. However, it was Cynthia who struggled more to connect with the others.
It all started after her “Bailey-Q” didn’t go well. “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards took issue with Cynthia asking who was the prettiest woman there. Kyle thought this was inappropriate to be asking. Kenya agreed and said that it “marginalized” them. Cynthia pointed out that they do Bailey-Q on RHOA all the time. But Kenya said Cynthia should have switched things up for a new group.
Kyle detected that Cynthia was upset that she was offended by the question. She apologized a few times to Cynthia. But she later made it clear that she wasn’t interested in forming a friendship with Cynthia. In a green screen interview, Kyle said, “Do I think that Cynthia and I are going to be great friends? Probably not. She’s just not that fun.”
Things only got worse between Cynthia and Kenya as the season progressed. And they discussed this plenty in their confessionals.
Kenya Moore frustrated Cynthia Bailey.
Cynthia felt like Kenya didn’t support her. But over time, Kenya started to believe Cynthia was jealous she was getting along with everyone else with the exception of Ramona Singer. “You know, it’s interesting because on my show I’m usually the one that’s being pushed out from the friend circle. But here, I’m vibing with everyone. I’m finally feeling like people can see who I really am. And they like me. I think that Cynthia is just jealous because she’s not really vibing with these women.”
Cynthia would later admit she was a bit jealous. “I’ve just never had to fight for Kenya’s attention before because, in our group of girls, she doesn’t have that many friends.”
On the last night there, Cynthia attempted to talk things out with Kenya while she was packing. But Kenya told her she didn’t want to talk because she wasn’t trying to end the trip in a negative way. This hurt Cynthia. “She shut me down and told me she doesn’t have time for this. When I walked out of her room, I think there was a part of my heart that just kinda closed up.”
Kenya Moore feels she did defend Cynthia Bailey.
As for Kenya, she would later make peace with Ramona. They hugged it out after Kenya snatched her up during an argument. Regardless, Kenya believed Cynthia was creating drama between them. But Cynthia was later told by Melissa Gorga that Kenya said Cyntia was jealous she and Kenya were connecting. Melissa said Kenya telling her this made her back off from getting to know Cynthia better.
Regardless, Kenya said she did have Cynthia’s back. “She didn’t see all of the times that I had her back talking to Kyle, and talking to LuAnn…everyone about, ‘No, Cynthia’s a good girl.’ Don’t try to make me look like I’ve done something wrong to you because I have not done anything wrong to you. That’s a trigger for me.”
Even though Kenya and Cyntia’s friendship fell apart, Kenya walked away from the trip feeling validated. I’ve been doing this for 9 or 10 years, and it is the first time that I’ve ever felt really accepted. I feel validated.” She added, “I feel like these women really see me for who I am.
#MusicNews: New Edition Announces The Culture Tour Beginning February 2022 With Charlie Wilson and Special Guest Jodeci
Veteran R&B group New Edition headlines an iconic lineup with the legendary Charlie Wilson, along with special guest, Jodeci, the bad boys of R&B. The Culture Tour kicks off a 30-city tour February 2022, in Columbus, Ga., with stops in Los Angeles, New York, and New Edition’s hometown of Boston.
In 1983, New Edition released their debut single Candy Girl off their self-titled album, hitting No.1 on the Billboard Hot Black Single Charts, jumping ahead of Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Since then, New Edition has released more than six studio albums, received multiple Soul Train and American Music Awards, and a Grammy Award nomination. In 2017, BET Network released their three-part Biopic: The New Edition Story, airing over three consecutive nights. The mini-series attracted 29 million total viewers. That same year, the network honored them with the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing the group as one of the innovators of R&B. They have remained one of the most influential R&B groups of the last 30 years and counting, catapulting the solo careers of Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant, and Bell Biv DeVoe.
Viewers experienced a sense of nostalgia during the American Music Awards in November 2021, when New Edition performed alongside 80’s boy band, New Kids on the Block. Often credited as the creators of the modern-day boy bands, New Edition will attract fans old and new. Starring all six members, Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill, this is the group’s first tour since 2014.
With a career spanning over four decades, Charlie Wilson also known as “Uncle Charlie,” is one of the few names in music that resonate with multiple generations of music lovers. Beginning as the co-founder/lead singer for The Gap Band (“Outstanding, “Burn Rubber On Me,” “Yearning For Your Love,”) Wilson later embarked on a successful solo career garnering himself thirteen Grammy awards nominations, eleven NAACP Image Awards (including two wins), the BMI Icon Award in 2005, and the 2009 Soul Train Icon Award. His #1 solo hits include “Charlie, Last Name Wilson,” “There Goes My Baby,” and “You Are” to name a few. In 2020 and 2009, he was named Billboard magazine's No. 1 Adult R&B Male Artist and remains the Top Adult Male Artist with the most #1s in three decades. He was honored by BET with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013 with an all-star tribute by Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Snoop Dogg.
Representing the sound that shaped 90s R&B, the iconic group Jodeci joins the tour as a special guest. The group debuted their first album, Forever My Lady, in 1991 and have sold more than 20 million records worldwide. They have been the soundtrack to many music lover’s most memorable moments for over 30 years with hit songs "Forever My Lady,” "Stay,” and "Come and Talk To Me". After a several year hiatus the group has reunited and are ready to show fans why they reign supreme as one of the most iconic R&B groups of all time.
Locations, venues and dates for The Culture Tour can be found below:
In partnership with The Black Promoters Collective, a 100 percent Black-owned promotions company composed of veteran live entertainment promoters, The Culture Tour tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Dec. 17, 10am local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning Tuesday, December 14 at 10am local time through Thursday, December 16 at 10pm local time.
#HipHopNews: Cardi B Confirms New Album In 2022
2022 will bring a new album from Cardi B. The rapper confirmed that her long-awaited sophomore album will finally arrive sometime next year. While going live on Instagram, Cardi shared the big news with fans.
“It’s been a lot trying to balance out my new motherfu**in’ life,” said the mother of two. “I have a lot of jobs now. I’m in a lot of positions that require a lot of my time, and on top of that, I gotta put out this album next year.”
Cardi has been hard at work on the follow-up to her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy.
‘The Wendy Williams Show’ Guest Host Sherri Shepherd Undergoes Emergency Surgery; Michael Rapaport To Step In
Sherri Shepherd, who was scheduled to guest host for the ailing Wendy Williams as host of The Wendy Williams Show this week, has undergone emergency surgery for appendicitis and is unable to appear.
“Due to appendicitis, Sherri Shepherd underwent an emergency surgery yesterday,” Shepherd’s publicist said in a statement to Deadline. “The procedure was successful, and Ms. Shepherd is doing fine and resting. She is absolutely devastated that she will not be able to guest host The Wendy Williams Show today, but she is following doctors’ orders and expected to make a full recovery. Thank you all for understanding and respecting her privacy.”
A spokesperson for The Wendy Williams Show says Michael Rapaport will be filling in for Shepherd and that Shepherd hopes to be back on the show later in the week.
Shepherd has been among a rotating list of guest hosts for the show while Williams recovers from complications of Graves disease.
The show’s scheduled September 20 Season 13 premiere was delayed for weeks after Williams tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19. Prior to her Covid diagnosis, the show said Williams would be stepping back from promotional activities ahead of the premiere due to “ongoing health issues.”
Williams has battled various maladies over during the past few years. Her battle with Graves disease, an immune system disorder, dates to 1999, and her show went on hiatus in 2018. She also passed out on live TV in 2017 during the show’s Halloween episode, an incident that was attributed to dehydration.
The show was on hiatus in 2020 because of the pandemic but had a brief remote stint with Williams broadcasting from her New York apartment. Later, production again was paused for several weeks so Williams could be with her family following her mother’s death.
The nationally syndicated Wendy Williams Show is produced and distributed by Debmar-Mercury and has been renewed through the 2021-22 season by the Fox Television Stations.
Lil Nas X Is The Latest Artist To Pull Out Of The Jingle Ball Tour Due To Positive COVID Tests
iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball Tour already suffered a huge loss last week with the announcement that Doja Cat had to pull out of the remaining performances due to a positive COVID test, but over the weekend, the tour’s organizers received even more bad news as members of Lil Nas X’s show crew also tested positive, forcing him to also pull out of the rest of the tour. Over the weekend, surviving acts Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber played extended sets, but with Doja, Lil Nas X, and Coldplay all dropping out, the holiday tour is decidedly a lot less jolly.
As yet, Lil Nas X has not commented on the cancellations on his own social media, and we don’t know whether he was among those who returned a positive result on the COVID test that forced him out. Before leaving the tour, though, he appeared to be having the time of his life, even as he laughed off an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that caused him to fall onstage as he tried to keep himself covered up. Oddly enough, it was his second of the year after splitting his pants on SNL, which prompted him to switch to skirts in an effort to avoid a repeat — an effort that was apparently unsuccessful.
Ashanti Shuts Down Rumors She's Dating Flo-Rida
The pair have celebrated special occasions together for years and even post photos of vacationing with one another's group of friends.
It has been a rumor that has plagued Ashanti for years, but the singer is setting the record straight. True, long-lasting friendships are hard to come by in the industry, but according to Ashanti, people have things all wrong with their assessment of her relationship with Flo Rida. For years, the pair have been photographed at events, birthday parties, and even exotic vacations, and with each social media reveal, the public has gossiped about the nature of their relationship.
However, while visiting The Breakfast Club, Ashanti once again cleared up the rumors by explaining why people have been getting the wrong idea.
DJ Envy teased the singer about posting those vacation photos with Flo Rida, but she explained that he's like her "brother." Apparently, their teams and entourages get along as well, so they often appear at the same family-style, celebratory events.
"Let the people know Ashanti is not with Flo Rida," she said. "Be clear! That's my brother. Me and Flo are super cool... We've been going to each other's birthday parties for like, ten years. So, I don't know why it's like, such a surprise."
This isn't the first time the singer has corrected speculation about a potential romance with the rapper. Back in April, she jumped in The Shade Room's comment section with similar remarks.
Britney Spears Calls Out Diane Sawyer For Interview Following Justin Timberlake Split
Britney Spears is opening up about her infamous interview with Diane Sawyer following her breakup with Justin Timberlake.
In a new note on her Instagram, the 40-year-old singer looked back on the interview that she had been blindsided by and how she’s feeling about it now.
“Do we dare forget the Diane Sawyer interview in my apartment almost 20 years ago?” Britney wrote in the middle of her lengthy message. “What was with the ‘You’re in the wrong’ approach?? Geeze… and making me cry??? Seriously though… I lived in my apartment for a year and never spoke to anyone… my manager put that woman in my home and made me talk to her on national television and she asked if I had a shopping problem!!! when did I have a shopping problem?”
Britney then recalled that the interview was set up in what felt like moments after her split from Justin Timberlake.
“Something I never shared when I had that break up years ago was that I couldn’t talk afterward,” she shared, adding, “I was in shock… pretty lame of my dad and three men to show up at my door when I could hardly speak… two days later they put Diane Sawyer in my living room… they forced me to talk!”
She also wrote that now, she has the ability to stand up for herself.
“She said ‘a woman or a girl’ … I would like to say now, ‘Ma’am I’m a catholic slut!!!”
She also recalled being asked about her “shopping problem”.
“She can kiss my white ass,” Britney wrote.
You can read the screencaps from Britney‘s now deleted post on People.
Earlier this year, Diane was in hot water with not only Britney‘s fans for the interview, but also a lot of celebs.
Derek Chauvin to change not guilty plea in federal civil rights case in death of George Floyd
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, is planning to change his plea in violating Floyd’s civil rights.
On Monday (Dec. 13), a court filing in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota showed that a hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday (Dec. 15) for Chauvin to change his current not guilty plea in the case. According to NBC News, the notice, however, did not say how he plans to modify his plea.
As you may recall, back in May, Chauvin and three other ex-Minneapolis police officers — Thomas Lane, J. Kueng and Tou Thao — were indicted by a federal grand jury for willfully violating Floyd’s constitutional rights as they pinned him to the ground as he was unable to breathe. Chauvin is charged with depriving Floyd’s right to be free from “unreasonable seizure, which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a police officer,” as he held his knee on the 46-year-old’s neck for more than nine minutes.
Thao and Kueng were charged for failing to intervene in Chauvin’s use of unreasonable force. Additionally, all four of the ex-cops were charged for failing to render aid to the victim, whose pleas to breathe were ignored. Back in September, all four men pleaded not guilty to the charges.
However, this is not the end of Chauvin’s legal woes. He is also charged with depriving a 14-year-old Black boy of his civil rights during a 2017 incident in which he is accused of holding the boy by the throat and hitting him in the head several times with a flashlight. He also held his knee on the neck and upper back of the young boy — even after he was handcuffed, compliant and lying prone.
Chauvin is currently serving 22 and a half years behind bars after being convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for Floyd’s death.
Zac Stacy Says His ‘Bitter’ Ex-Girlie ‘Staged’ His Attack of Her – She Responds
*#ZacStacy said the savage attack on his ex-girlfriend, Kristin Evans, was “staged,” and that she set him up because he didn’t want to be with her and that she was “bitter.”
TMZ Sports obtained video of the former #NFL running back’s interview with police after he brutally attacked Evans in her Florida home.
In the video, you can hear Stacy detailing the events leading up to the attack on Nov. 13, claiming that the altercation was “all staged.”
“It’s just a case of just bitterness, man,” Stacy told the police. “That’s why she did this. The whole assault thing, she staged it. She set me up.”
Stacy continued, “The whole thing was staged. All she’s trying to do is get money out of me. She got a reaction out of me.”
Stacy claims that his ex-girlfriend, who’s also the mother of his son, was upset because he didn’t want to be in a relationship with her.
Wait! There’s more.
Per TMZ: Kristin Evans — Stacy’s ex — is vehemently denying Stacy’s claims that she “staged” the attack … saying in a video statement Monday, “I don’t know how you can stage getting your ass beat.”
Evans added, “This is what abusers do. They will make you seem like you’re the crazy one and that they’re the victim.”
Evans said she also had an issue with the way the officers spoke with Stacy in the video … saying she was “upset” that it appeared the police were “consoling” the ex-NFL player during the arrest.
“Everything about this makes me uncomfortable,” she said.
Joy-Anna Duggar and husband ‘agree’ with Josh Duggar guilty verdict
Josh Duggar’s sisters aren’t shedding any tears over his recent conviction.
Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband Austin Forsyth have now spoken out in support of Josh, 33, being convicted of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.
“Over this last year, as you can imagine, there have been a lot of unanswered questions in our minds regarding Josh,” a joint statement by the couple posted to their Instagram stories read. “We were able to sit through the trial to hear the evidence for ourselves.”
“We agree with the judicial system’s verdict and we are thankful for the men and women who work tirelessly to protect children and help prevent child sexual abuse material,” they continued. “Our hearts break for all CSAM victims.”
Joy-Anna, 24, and Austin, 28, added that they are “praying for Anna and her children.”
The Forsyths are following in the footsteps of older sister Jinger Duggar and her scathing statement about Josh bringing “dishonor” he’s “brought upon Christ’s name.”
“We are thankful to God for exposing Josh’s actions and to a legal system committed to protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty in this case,” the 27-year-old Duggar sister wrote on social media. “We are grateful for justice.”
Josh was arrested in April and was found guilty on Dec. 9 on one count each of receiving and possessing child pornography. The former “19 Kids and Counting” star faces up to 20 years in prison as well as fines up to $250,000 for each guilty count.
This isn’t Josh’s first run-in with the law either. In 2015 he was accused of molesting at least five minors, including two of his own sisters: Jill and Jessa.
Kim Kardashian Reveals She Finally Passed The Baby Bar Exam
Congrats! Kim Kardashian Reveals She Finally Passed The Baby Bar Exam
Socialites, join us in congratulating Kim Kardashian who finally passed her baby bar exam following multiple attempts! The reality star shared the great news on Instagram this Monday morning in a lengthy post.
She thanked those who helped her during the long process and encouraged fans to never give up after she previously failed two exams, before finally passing on her fourth try.
Kim started by saying in her post, “OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection. For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me. I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses😉)” She went on to say,
“In California, the way I’m studying law you need to take 2 bar exams, this was just the first one but with the harder pass rate. I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.
A big thank you to @vanjones68 who talked me into going to law school in the first place before introducing me to @jessicajackson and @edyhaney who have brought me along to watch their every move in the courtroom. I respect them so much and appreciate you both for letting me tag along and ask all of the little questions along the way.
And Bar Bri Law School bar prep- I couldn’t have done it without you guys! Setting me up with professors @sam.arlen.farkas and @chuckshonholtz changed my life. Thank you guys for putting in the hours and teaching me everything I needed to know! 10 hour days, daily 4 hour zooms, our in-person practice tests week after week. We did it!”
Speaking on her late dad who was also a famed attorney, Kim said:
“I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner. I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn’t pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!
Bottom line is don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side! ⚖️ 📚”

Multiple media partners, including NBC that has previously aired the Golden Globes, have opted not to participate publicly with the ceremony this year because of diversity issues within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the group behind the event.

Faizon Love Trashes Comedian Nicole Byer
In 1962 Malcolm X said, “The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.” In 2021 those words still resonate and ring true.
Visit streaming.thesource.com for more information
Nicole Byer has amassed critical success, as well as a couple of Emmy nominations, for hosting Nailed It! on Netflix. She recently secured her first solo stand-up special Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo). Comedian Faizon Love recently went on social media and took shots at fellow comedian Nicole Byer after she got a Netflix special and he didn’t.
In an Instagram post, the disgruntled comedian wrote:
So after very long consideration I felt the only way to get a Netflix special is to become a unfunny black women… my new name is Nicole Byer … this is my transformation
Well first off, Faizon could use a tutor to work on his grammar and maybe a therapist for his unresolved issues. But what stood out the most was he wasn’t just doing his job and telling a joke…he was attempting to de-value and disrespect yet another black woman. From Mo’nique’s Netflix allegations to Faizon Love’s tacky comment, we’ve seen several black men attack these women. Women who fought to be respected in an industry that wasn’t always fair and kind to them. After years of working their way to showcase their talent alongside their peers, it wasn’t racist white supremacists that attacked our queens. It was our black men—publicly humiliating black women for the world to see. Then under Faizon’s comment, comedian DeRay Davis added. “but i think Nicole is funny Faiz… I’ll rock with u on a couple others tho. 😂. “
What is the obsession with tearing black women down? Does Chelsea Handler, Ali Wong or Amy Schumer get this same criticism?
Some would even argue that Faizon Love or DeRay Davis doesn’t exactly offer knee-slapping jokes either, but I haven’t heard any announcements or embarrassments.
Let’s change the narrative that we have to critique and tear down others’ accomplishments.
USA Gymnastics & Olympic Committee to Pay Nassar Victims $380 Million Settlement
Sexual assault victims of disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar have reached a $380 million settlement.
The settlement was approved on Monday between the victims and the USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), and their insurers. In addition to the monetary compensation, the settlement will also include non-monetary obligations, such as allowing Nassar victims to serve on boards that will implement safety procedures for future athletes.
Many survivors came forward, including Olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and McKayla Maroney. All three women shared similar tales of sexual abuse while being treated by Nassar, who was the primary physician for gymnasts in the Olympics and at Michigan State University for 18 years. He is currently serving over 60 years in federal prison for child pornography and was also sentenced to an additional 40-to-175 year state prison sentence in Michigan for seven counts of criminal sexual conduct.
After the agreement was announced Monday, Sarah Hirshland, CEO of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee, issued a statement offering her sympathy to victims who the organization failed.
“We are grateful to have reached a resolution with the athlete survivors. We have the deepest respect for the tremendous strength and bravery these women have shown. We recognize our role in failing to protect these athletes, and we are sorry for the profound hurt they have endured,” her statement read.
Raisman, Biles, Maroney, and other survivors have slammed USA Gymnastics and Olympic officials for failing to protect victims who reported Nassar over the years. They even called out the FBI for an inadequate investigation into the predatory doctor.
Olympic athletes and student-athletes with Michigan State University have now received about $880 million in settlements stemming from Nassar’s abuse. Facing intense scrutiny, the USA Gymnastics filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
Tiffany Haddish Links With Common Lookalike In Colombia: "He Is Sweet"
The two men aren't necessarily doppelgangers, but Haddish admitted she had "three [shots] of vodka" that night.
Fans may have been rooting for Common and Tiffany Haddish to have a long-standing romance, but alas, they have decided to call it quits. The rapper and comedian went public with their relationship a little over a year ago, but the two have known one another for much longer. Last week, Common caught up with Hollywood Unlocked and detailed what led to the split, and it seemed that both he and Haddish have been hyperfocused on their careers.
"It really didn't allow for us to spend as much time and put as much energy into our relationship. I don't think the love really dispersed," Common explained. "We weren't feeding the relationship... Neither one of us is gonna stop. We both care about our crafts and what we do."
Meanwhile, Haddish has been relatively hush-hush about the breakup, but she surfaced online in a selfie with a man with a message attached.
"Does anyone know who this guy is? I met him in Columbia and I can't remember his name. He just looks so common," she wrote. The play on words wasn't lost on Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee, who is also Haddish's good friend. In the comments, he wrote, "I'm not dealing with you today @tiffanyhaddish [crying laughing emojis]."
Haddish made sure to issue a reply with an update on her search.
"Look Three shoots of Vodka and a dark night club in Colombia," she said. "You would think it's him too. But I found him now thanks you y'all. I talked to him today he is sweet and got some time hangout. Funny how that works." It looks as if Haddish isn't having any trouble moving on.
