#RHOA: The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak-Biermann Returns in Epic Season 15 Trailer
Don't be tardy because The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back with some epic season 15 cameos.
Kandi Burruss, Shereé Whitfield, Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross are all returning for the Bravo series' new season, but it's several appearances by past peach-holders in the new trailer that really have fans shook.
 
Kim Zolciak-Biermann is back to bring the party, but her longtime pal Shereé notices a little something different about her former co-star, as she notes in the preview, "Kim, your tits look smaller." O.G. Atlanta Housewives Lisa Wu and DeShawn Snow also join Kim and Shereé for an epic girls' night out in the teaser.

WATCH HERE
RHOA's Cynthia Bailey, who exited the series after season 13, is also back to support pal Kenya in her business ventures. But of course, it won't all be friendly reunions.
The first look teases plenty of drama, with Kandi telling Marlo during one heated argument, "The only reason I'm crying right now is because I can't choke your ass, bitch!"
 
Meanwhile, Marlo slams Drew as a "deranged, bad-bodied actress."
Drew's recent divorce from Ralph Pittman will also be a hot topic. During an emotional couples therapy session, Drew admits, "Ralph has moved out of the bedroom. I have no more tears to cry."
 
Ralph is taking their marital troubles far less seriously as he responds with a laugh, "Who hasn't filed for divorce?"
 
Unlike Drew, Shereé's relationship with boyfriend Martell Holt seems to be flourishing. She even floats the idea of creating a joint OnlyFans with her man in the preview.
See everything to come this season—including a cast trip to Portugal—in the season 15 trailer above. And keep scrolling down to see the stunning new cast photos.
 
The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres Sunday, May 7, at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
 
 
#MusicNews: Raphael Saadiq To Reunite With Tony! Toni! Toné! for ‘Just Me And You’ Tour This Year
Music lovers have been asking for legendary group Tony! Toni! Toné! to reunite for years now. Over the past couple of decades, Raphael Saadiq has gone on a solo journey while also serving as one of the top producers in R&B music.
 
Fellow original group mates D’wayne Wiggins and Timothy Christian Riley have continued to carry the torch for the Tony! Toni! Toné! brand while touring across the world and performing their hits.
 
Now it appears we are on the verge of a reunion. All three original members have announced that the group has come back together and will be performing as Tony! Toni! Toné! for the “Just Me and You” tour later this year.
 
The tour will kick off this Summer and will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the release of the group’s most successful album “Sons of Soul”.
 
There is no word on if new music will follow as well. Tony! Toni! Toné! have released four albums in total, with their final album “House of Music” coming in 1996.


#FINALFOUR LSU ousts Caitlin Clark and Iowa, as Mulkey secures her fourth NCAA title
When Kim Mulkey stunned the women's college basketball world to take the LSU job, there never really seemed to be a question that at some point, she would lead the Tigers to a national championship.
But to do it two years into the job? As an underdog? With her team counted out at every turn? Against Player of the Year Caitlin Clark? Mulkey concedes that was never really in her plans.

Yet there she stood -- and hooted, and hollered, and stomped her feet, and yelled at the refs -- in the middle of the national title game Sunday afternoon, her gold and black sequined Tigers print pant suit shimmering under the arena lights, and, well, it obviously became the plan.

In a game that delivered the high drama and jaw-dropping plays that many expected, Mulkey and unsung hero Jasmine Carson led the Tigers past Clark and Iowa 102-85 in the highest-scoring national title game of all time, in front of a raucous, packed crowd that alternated between euphoric and desperate with each momentum swing.

Mulkey becomes the first women's basketball coach to lead two different teams to national championships, and this one by far is the most unexpected, as a No. 3 seed questioned for large swaths of the season for not playing a tough enough nonconference schedule. With one minute left in the game, Mulkey turned to her bench, put her hand to her mouth and tried to hold back her tears. LSU forward Angel Reese pointed at her ring finger. The crowd chanted, "L-S-U! L-S-U!"

As the final seconds ticked away, Mulkey leaned against the bench and was swarmed by her staff.
Iowa entered the title game as the favorite. (How could they not with the way Clark has played during the NCAA tournament?) In the loss, Clark set the record for total points scored in a single men's or women's NCAA tournament.
Off back-to-back 41-point performances, including an upset over No. 1 South Carolina, Clark finished with 30 points on 9-of-22 shooting.
Clark opened the game with the type of deep 3-pointers that have earned her a legion of fans well beyond Iowa, drawing oohs and ahs from the crowd.

But LSU was not overwhelmed by the moment. In fact, the Tigers felt very much they belonged in this moment, and they played with an energy that was obvious with each shot and steal they made.

If anybody was going to keep up with Clark, it would be LSU All-American Reese, right?
Well, Reese went to the bench late in the first quarter with two fouls and sat out the entire second quarter. Enter the truly unexpected: three-time transfer and one-time LSU starter Carson. Simply put, Carson could not miss -- hitting one 3 after another in a dazzling display that improbably bested Clark in the first half.

Clark found herself in foul trouble, too, as the officiating drew the ire of both Mulkey and Iowa coach Lisa Bluder. In the first half, seven combined players had two foul calls apiece.

LSU was able to somehow build a lead with Reese on the bench, as Carson finished with 21 first-half points, a perfect 7-of-7 (5-of-5 from 3) and banked in a 3 just before halftime -- a fitting way to end it. Clark, meanwhile, had 16.

LSU led 59-42 at the break, and though the Hawkeyes showed plenty of fight in the second half, they could not quite cut the deficit enough to make a serious run at the lead. Clark made her trademark shots, but she was also whistled for a questionable technical foul in the third quarter, after flipping the ball behind her back out of bounds following a foul called on a teammate, and did not quite have enough to lead the comeback charge.

Her dream of getting Iowa that elusive national championship will have to wait another year. But for LSU, the first women's basketball championship in school history could not feel much better considering where this team was when the season started.

With nine new players, Mulkey had no idea what to expect from her roster. When she said before the Sweet 16 she had no playbook for how to win a national title two years into a program, her players chimed in. Alexis Morris said, "She is the plan. Coach Mulkey is the GOAT. All LSU needed was Coach Mulkey."

It was Morris who tried to warn everybody what was coming when she and her teammates felt "disrespected" with the way Iowa defended the South Carolina guards. She told reporters during media interviews on Saturday, "I'm going to take that personally going into that game. You're going to have to guard us."

Even when Iowa did guard LSU, the Tigers made the shots they did not make all season. They found their way in, and Mulkey found her way to a fourth national title -- ranking her third on the all-time coaching list.


Oscar-Winning Composer Ryuichi Sakamoto Dies At 71
Ryuichi Sakamoto, a trailblazing composer and producer who was one of the first musicians to incorporate electronic production into popular songcraft, has died at the age of 71.

Sakamoto died on March 28 after a multi-year battle with cancer, according to a statement published on his website Sunday. “We would like to share one of Sakamoto’s favorite quotes,” the statement read. “‘Ars longa, vita brevis.’ Art is long, life is short.”

The Japanese composer had an exceptionally wide-ranging career: he was by turns a synth-pop idol, the composer of both sweeping film scores and quiet, gentle sound environments, and a collaborator of such artists as David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Bernardo Bertolucci.

Sakamoto also acted; he co-starred with David Bowie in 1983’s “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence,” the story of a British colonel who tries to make peace between a Japanese camp commander, played by Sakamoto, and a British P.O.W., played by Bowie.

He also appeared in Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor,” winning an Oscar and Golden Globe for his score with David Byrne and Cong Su.

Other films he scored included Brian de Palma’s “Femme Fatale” and “Snake Eyes,” Pedro Almodovar’s “High Heels,” Bertolucci’s “The Little Buddha” and “The Sheltering Sky” and Oliver Stone’s mini-series “Wild Palms.” He contributed several pieces to Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack of “Babel,” which won the Oscar

 
#HipHopNews:Tyler, The Creator Drops Deluxe Album 'Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale'
Nine months since releasing his album Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler, The Creator re-ups with a deluxe edition.
The Estate Sale features eight new tracks that didn’t make the original including collaborations with A$AP Rocky, Vince Staples, and YG on a 2020 demo of “Boyfriend, Girlfriend.”
 
Earlier in the week, he dropped videos for two of the new additions, “Dogtooth” and “Sorry Not Sorry,” the latter featuring his various alter egos.
 
“Call Me If You Get Lost was the first album I made with a lot of songs that didn’t make the final cut,” Tyler explained. “Some of those songs I really love, and knew they would never see the light of day, so I’ve decided to put a few of them out.”
 
The original Call Me If You Get Lost was released in June 2022 and featured appearances from NBA YoungBoy, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, and Lil Uzi Vert. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned Tyler his second Grammy for Best Rap Album.

Funeral plans announced for Nashville mass school shooting victims
Funeral plans have been announced for the victims of the Nashville mass school shooting that took place earlier this week. As previously reported on Monday (March 27), Audrey Hale, 28, carried out an attack at The Covenant School, the private Christian elementary where six individuals were gunned down. Hale was then killed by responding police officers.
 
Three children (Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney), all 9 years old, and three adults (Katherine Koonce, 60; Mike Hill, 61; and Cynthia “Cindy” Peak, 61) lost their lives during that act of violence. Funeral proceedings for Dieckhaus will begin today (March 31), according to local Chattanooga, Tennessee news station WTVC. It will happen at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville, and a private reception will follow. Those who attend are asked to wear pink or other bright shades as a “tribute to Evelyn’s light and love of color,” as noted in her obituary.
 
Scruggs’ private service will proceed tomorrow (April 1) at Covenant Presbyterian Church, where her father is the lead pastor. Hill, a janitor who was employed at The Covenant School, will be laid to rest on Tuesday (April 4) at Stephens Valley Church in Nashville. Visitation will commence at 10 a.m. Koonce, who was the head of the school, will have her service at 1 p.m. on Wednesday (April 5), and Kinney and Peak will have their funerals held this weekend. Those who show up to honor Kinney are encouraged to wear red, as the young boy played baseball for a team called The Reds.
 
Peak’s family released a statement that said, “Our hearts are broken to confirm the loss of our beloved Cindy Peak. Cindy was a pillar of the community and a teacher beloved by all her students. Her favorite roles in life were being a mom to her three children, a wife to her husband, and an educator to students. We will never stop missing her. We are grateful for the hope of Heaven. She never wavered in her faith, and we know she is wrapped in the arms of Jesus. Our hearts go out to all the victims’ families as we grieve this horrific tragedy.” The 61-year-old was working as a substitute teacher on the day of the shooting.

Lauren London pens heartfelt tribute to Nipsey Hussle on 4th anniversary of passing
As previously reported Nipsey Hussle — born Ermias Asghedom — was tragically gunned down in front of The Marathon Clothing Store, a business he opened in the neighborhood he grew up in. The murder was committed at the hands of ​​Eric R. Holder Jr., a man the Grammy winner had grown up with. His senseless and untimely death rattled the community.
 
Today (March 31), Hussle’s longtime partner and mother of his youngest son, Lauren London, penned an emotional tribute to the “Grinding All My Life” artist on social media. “I hold my breath all of March knowing I have to face the memory of the day you transitioned. Holding on to ancient wisdom, but the pain is the pain and nothing was ever the same,” the You People actress began in an Instagram post. She continued, “Eternal Being, Ermias Asghedom. I love you.”
London added an excerpt from Baha’i Sacred Writings: “To consider that after the death of the body, the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased. In truth, from hell, it reaches a paradise of delights because for the thankful birds, there is no paradise greater than freedom.” London and Hussle share 6-year-old Kross Asghedom. He also has a daughter, 14-year-old Emani Asghedom from a previous relationship.
 
On Feb. 22, Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II sentenced Holder to 60 years to life for Hussle’s death. London did not attend the trial. Throughout the years, many came to know and love the “Victory Lap” rapper as “Neighborhood Nip” for the hands-on work he did to restore his community, as well as his activism efforts. He was 33 years old at the time of his passing.
 
 
Howell Wayans, Father of Wayans Brothers, Dies at 86
Howell Wayans, the father of the Wayans family of entertainers, has died. He was 86.
Marlon Wayans posted a tribute of his father and confirmed his death on Instagram. In this post, Marlon said his father taught him how to be a man. A cause of death was not announced.
 
“Thank you Pop for being an example of a man to all your boys. I pray all young Black boys can grow up to be a man like you,” Marlon wrote. “Baby boy loves you. And if ever I need you I know exactly where to find you… in my Bible that now sits by bed. Rest well. Kiss Ma for me. Tell her her babies miss her. I got two angels.”
 
Howell and his late wife Elvira, who died three years ago, raised their 10 children in New York City. All of them were either in, or connected to, the entertainment community. The Wayans siblings include Dwayne, Keenen, Diedra, Damon, Kimberly, Elvira, Nadia, Devonne, Shawn, and Marlon, the youngest.
 
Actor Omar Epps, who is a close family friend, also posted a tribute on Instagram and sent condolences. He described Howell as a father figure to him.
“Words can’t even describe how I’m feeling right now. This man was a GIANT amongst giants. Pop Wayans was a true father to me thru out my life. Always teaching me, giving me jewels that I walk with to this day. I love you Pop,” Epps wrote.
 
 
Tony Rock Claims Will Smith Lied About Reaching Out to Chris Rock Following Oscars Slap
Chris Rock’s brother, Tony Rock, claims Will Smith lied about reaching out to his brother to apologize following last year’s Oscars slap.
During a recent appearance on BigBoyTV, Rock refuted Smith’s claims that he called Chris a few days after the incident to apologize.
“That wasn’t true, that wasn’t true,” Rock said on the radio show. “I think like, two nights later, he said, ‘I reached out to Chris, and he didn’t want to talk.’ That wasn’t true.”
 
“He doesn’t owe me anything, I just thought we were better than that,” Tony added. “My phone number has never changed. So, I just thought I’d get a phone call one day like, ‘Ay, let’s just you and I just talk.’ It hasn’t happened, so I guess it’s not going to happen.”
Back in July 2022, Tony maintained that Will’s decision to slap his brother stemmed from Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship with the late 2Pac.
 
In an interview on the Top Billin’ with Bill Bellamy podcast, when asked if he thought Smith’s slap was a reaction to Chris’ joke about Jada having alopecia, Tony said, “No.”
“He laughed first,” Rock continued. “So that’s not embarrassment. He was laughing. In the time they cut to my brother and cut back, he was already up walking… So maybe it was the Jada look.”
 
According to Tony, the slap had something to do with Jada’s relationship to the late 2Pac and Will’s feelings about it.
 
“I think that [Oscar Slap] was the accumulation of him being slapped on other levels,” Tony explained. “He said it himself, he always hated the ‘soft moniker.’ He’s soft, Jada won’t let 2Pac die, it’s always something about 2Pac and his daughter [Willow Smith] brought up 2Pac. And I’m not bringing up family stuff that people don’t know… this is stuff that everybody knows.”
 
 
Taraji P. Henson Joins Season 2 of ABC’s ‘Abbott Elementary’ as Janine’s Estranged Mother
Finally putting a face to the name. Taraji P. Henson is joining season 2 of Abbott Elementary in the role of Janine's (Quinta Brunson) estranged mother.
“I was so exited to join Quinta and the amazing cast!” Henson, 52, said in a special video message at PaleyFest in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 1.
 
The panel for the hit ABC series also included cast members Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, Lisa Ann Walter and William Stanford Davis. Janelle James and Chris Perfetti appeared via webcam while Brunson, 33, and the Empire alum pre-recorded their messages.
 
Henson will appear in an episode titled "Mom," which is set to air on April 12. The exciting casting news comes after Ayo Edebiri made her onscreen debut as Janine's sister, Ayesha, last month. The Bear star, 27, previously made a cameo when fans saw the sibling duo have an awkward conversation over FaceTime.
Janine's strained relationship with her mother and sister has been a minor story line in past episodes. Although the teacher was able to work out her issues with Ayesha, Brunson hinted that Janine would still have to face her mom.
 
"I think relationships with mothers are very defining, especially for someone who is then taking care of children — like Janine, who's caring for kids," the Golden Globe winner told Reuters in September 2022. "It connects a lot to her relationships in the school. I know a lot of women in my life who have had very complicated relationships with their moms unfortunately."

According to Brunson, it felt important to show the aftermath of how the personal trauma affected Janine. That same month, the screenwriter teased what else fans of the critically acclaimed comedy series could expect in season 2.
 
"We'll be going home and out with them more. In the first season, I really wanted people to fall in love with Abbott the school and the staff. We wanted people to feel like they wanted to work at or went to Abbott," she shared with Entertainment Weekly. "This season, they know us well. They know the teachers well. They know the school well. Now, we can go out to events and parties, into our characters' houses and be outside more. But I still believe a workplace comedy should take place in the workplace. So, it's not like we'll be turned into a whole other show."
 
Meanwhile, Ralph, 66, praised Abbott Elementary for coming up with new ways to highlight the characters outside of the classroom. "You are continuing to learn more about these characters. Who they really are [and] what their points of views are," the Dreamgirls star exclusively told Us Weekly in February. "I just love that my character — even though you haven't seen my husband in this particular season — we talk about him. I love the fact that that is a loving relationship."
 
Ralph recalled the moment she realized Abbott Elementary was something special.
 
"When we were shooting the pilot, Tyler and I had a moment where we looked at each other and he literally said, 'You feel it, don't you?' And I said, 'Absolutely, I feel it. Something is going on here. Something is happening,'" she added. "Going into the first season — the first 18 episodes — we were not shocked at all. We knew we were doing something very special."
 
 
Dawn Staley After Final 4 Loss: ‘We Just Didn’t Perform’
The South Carolina Gamecocks came one game short of their ultimate goal of winning the national championship. In the postgame, South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley felt her team gave an abnormal performance.
 “I don’t think we felt pressure to win the game, we just didn’t perform,” Staley said.
 
“I’m pretty numb right now. I just want to make sure my players are OK. Some of them just played their last game in a Gamecock uniform. I want to make sure I’m there for them. I want to make sure their hearts aren’t hurting too bad.”
 
Next season, Staley will come back with a team most likely not to have its star player in Aliyah Boston, who is expected to declare and be the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft.
 
In addition, Staley protected the reputation of her team after a forced narrative placed “bullies” and more unflattering adjectives on their character.
 
 
3 arrested in beating of rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine at LA Fitness in Florida
Authorities announced Thursday that arrests had been made in the assault and robbery of popular rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine earlier this month at a Palm Beach County LA Fitness, CBS Miami reported.
The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office identified those arrested as Rafael Medina Jr., 43, Octavious Medina, 23, and Anthony Maldonado, 25.
 
Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, had to be hospitalized after the beating that took place inside the facility's steam room, according to video posted on social media and police.
 
The rapper suffered facial cuts during the assault, his attorney, Lance Lazzaro, told news outlets.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said in a written statement that the assault occurred at the LA Fitness in Lake Worth.
 
Video posted to several social media sites showed Hernandez on the floor of the gym bathroom as at least two men kicked him and grabbed him by the hair.
 
The sheriff's office said the rapper was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
The rapper was a social media phenomenon with millions of followers on Instagram before becoming an ascendant name in hip-hop.
He had a multiplatinum hit song, "Fefe," with Nicki Minaj, which peaked at No. 3 on the pop charts, and "Stoopid," featuring the incarcerated rapper Bobby Shmurda.
 
Lazzaro told TMZ that the rapper, who did not have personal security with him, tried to fight back during the attack but was overpowered and outnumbered.
 
The rapper was released early from federal prison after he cooperated with law enforcement officials during an effort to prosecute fellow gang members.
 
 
Teyana Taylor Confirms That She Will Star As Dionne Warwick In An Upcoming Biopic: “We’re Already Working On It. We’re In The Building Process Right Now”
Teyana Taylor has revealed that she will be portraying Dionne Warwick in a new biopic.  For a while now, many people have pointed out the striking resemblance between Taylor and Warwick.  Last year, Warwick confirmed that she had been in talks with Taylor about portraying her in a biographical series.
 
“We’ve been on the phone several times.  She’s done her homework.  She knows more about me than I know about me,” Warwick said.
 
Now, it seems that Warwick’s persuasion may have worked. In a new interview with Tamron Hall, Taylor confirmed that she had secured the role. “We’re already working on it.  We’re in the building process right now,” she said in an exclusive clip.  “I always wanted to make sure I could lock in with any person that I would be playing.”
Taylor also shared that she had prepared for the role by studying performances from Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles and Angela Bassett as Tina Turner. “I miss when movies were like that,” Taylor said. “When you got to really get to know them and tap in.”
 
“She’s had a wonderful career, and I think right now is about making her feel as safe as possible to tell her story because a lot of these stories get misconstrued or dramatized to an extent. That’s not really where we want to go,” Taylor continued.
 
Taylor’s full interview is scheduled to air on Monday, April 3rd, on ABC.
 
 
Body Of Missing Florida Toddler Found In Alligator’s Mouth, Father Charged With Murder
The body of a missing Florida toddler was found inside an alligator’s mouth on Friday evening, according to St. Petersburg police. The boy’s father has been charged with his murder.
Taylen Mosley was reported missing after his mother, Pashun Jeffery, 20, was found dead in her apartment. She had been stabbed several times.

A search for Mosley ensued, and an Amber Alert was issued. Officials used dogs, a drone, and multiple agencies to search for the toddler.

The little boy’s body was discovered about 10 miles from his mother’s apartment near Dell Holmes Park. St. Petersburg Police Chief Anthony Holloway said officers came across an alligator with “an object inside its mouth” in Lake Maggiore.

The officers shot and killed the alligator so that it would drop Mosley’s body. A cause of death for the toddler has not been released and will be determined by the medical examiner.

Thomas Mosley, the boy’s father, was identified as a person of interest in the murders after checking himself into the hospital with cuts on his arms and hands. Holloway said Mosley remained hospitalized on Friday and was not cooperating with the investigation.

Mosley is facing two counts of first-degree murder.
