Hampton, 47, goes on to beg Moore, 52, to never don the wig again.“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Marlo Hampton tells Page Six Style she’s not a fan of Kenya Moore’s blond wig.
“No, don’t do it again. Thumbs down,” she says, emphasizing that the Kenya Moore Hair Care founder should “consult with Miss Hampton next time” she plans to test out a new ‘do.At the time, Moore touted the benefits of her hair products and credited them for the health and sheen of her natural tresses. And while she was previously averse to wigs, Moore later leaned into sporting faux manes on the reality show in an effort to “protect” her own locks.
“I was surprised that she shared it with y’all because she’s been wearing wigs,” Hampton says.“I was just proud that she was able to be authentic with her fans and let them know, ‘I do have a haircare line but I also wear protective styles. I do wear wigs and pieces as well, ladies.’”
In the spirit of Pride Month, Hampton jokes that Moore “came out” as a wig wearer.“She came out! She was in the closet long enough,” she says with a laugh. “Bitch came out the closet, OK? Finally! Only took 10 years, but she came out the closet.”

Donning a half-buttoned black leather shirt and her pregnancy on proud display, she juggled a coffee and a vibrant array of LV bags. Each bag boasted a different color, giving a taste of the diversity that the forthcoming collection promises.
The caption read, “LOUIS VUITTON MEN Spring-Summer 2024.” Notably, this collection will mark Pharrell’s debut under the prestigious banner of Louis Vuitton.

Kourtney Kardashian Announces Pregnancy At Travis Barker's L.A. Concert.
Kourtney Kardashian is finally expecting her first child with Travis Barker and she had a perfect way to share the exciting news with the world. The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" alum announced her pregnancy at her husband's show in Los Angeles which took place on Friday, June 16.
Making use of Instagram, the 44-year-old shared a video of her smiling and jumping up and down in the crowd at BMO Stadium. In the clip, she could be seen holding up a sign with large black letters that read, "Travis I'm Pregnant!"
Travis, who was on the stage, was surprised by the announcement and quickly approached Kourtney as one of his Blink-182 bandmates exclaimed, "Someone's having a baby!" The drummer then embraced his wife before giving her sweet kisses.
Many were happy upon learning of the baby news, but some people believed that the whole thing was staged. "Kourtney Kardashian announce [sic] that she's pregnant at the concert and in the video she shows off a baby bump? How is it that Travis didn't know she was pregnant? Sounds staged," one person argued.
"Kourtney kardashian telling Travis barker she's pregnant w a full on baby bump has me weak," another penned. "like people really think he didn't know before the concert??"
Others, however, came to Kourtney's defense, with one writing, "Who cares if he already knew. They tried really hard to have a baby. I'm rooting for them." Someone else added, "Who cares if he already knew maybe this was their way of telling the world."
Diddy keeps promise to donate $1 million to Jackson State University
Dr. Elayne Hayes-Anthony, who is the acting president at the HBCU, revealed that the donation was given as she was speaking at the Board of Trustees’s monthly Institutions of Higher Learning meeting on Thursday (June 15), HBCU Gameday reports. “P Diddy, as our students call him, and as we probably know him as Sean Combs, has released $1 million to Jackson State for athletics,” Hayes-Anthony said. “And we are very, very pleased about that. We will be receiving $332,000 by June 23 as a first installment and we get another installment in 2024 and another in 2025.” Check that moment out below.
In December 2022, it was announced that Sanders, who coached at Jackson State for three years, left the school to become the head football coach at the University of Colorado. Colorado has reportedly signed the former NFL star to a five-year, $29.5 million contract, the biggest deal given to any football coach in that school’s history and a huge upgrade from Sanders’ former four-year, $1.4 million contract at the HBCU.
He was released from the hospital shortly thereafter once doctors determined he was OK. The composer never lost consciousness and was in “great spirits” by the time he left the hospital, his rep told TMZ.
Amanda Bynes detained by police for mental health evaluation
The 37-year-old star was taken to a police station where a medical unit was waiting to assess her and determine if she needed further treatment.
It is unclear if cops had been called to her home, or elsewhere and it is currently unknown if she has been hospitalised under a 5150 hold.
In February, the She's The Man star - who was released from a conservatorship in March 2022 after almost nine years - was found naked and alone in the early hours of the morning and was subsequently placed on psychiatric hold in a mental health ward but left the facility weeks later.
It was claimed ahead of her release that she would "enrol in an outpatient mental health treatment programme" upon being discharged but because she is no longer under the conservatorship arrangement, is free to make her own medical decisions.
Just days after the incident occurred, an eyewitness recalled that they had seen Amanda - who has been in an on/off relationship with Paul Michael in recent years - during the early hours of the morning and described watching her ask a woman for help as she seemed "out of it".
The eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight: "Amanda was wandering alone on Hollywood Blvd. at around 1 am. No one really recognised her or noticed her. She was walking tensely and by herself. A woman started walking with her and tried to help her. Amanda asked the woman to hold her. Amanda seemed to be in a loving, wholesome mood [but] seemed as though she was out of it.
"She asked to be dropped off at her friend’s place in Beverly Hills. When the woman went to drop her off, Amanda’s friend did not answer. Amanda said she did not want to go home and noted that her boyfriend kicked her out. Amanda then asked to be dropped back off on Hollywood Blvd., and the woman obliged."
Demands for the principal of The Philadelphia High School for Girls to be terminated are growing louder as more footage of their recent graduation ceremony has been shared online. As previously reported, controversy broke out after the June 9 commencement when senior Hafsah Abdur-Rahman was denied her diploma on stage after she did The Griddy dance.
One person outraged by the footage wrote, “Fire her! She got great joy [from] withholding those kids diplomas! Let her see what it feels like to have her pay withheld.”
LL Cool J reassures fans "The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour" is still happening after rescheduling dates
Greatness cannot be rushed, and when it comes to celebrating hip hop, LL Cool J is making sure it is done the right way. Case in point, the entertainer has pushed back the start of his upcoming arena trek, “The F.O.R.C.E. Live Tour.”
As previously reported by REVOLT in April, the emcee first announced that he was teaming up with The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ Z-Trip for 24 shows. The feat would mark his first arena tour in 30 years and coincide with the 50th anniversary of hip hop. The cross-country trek was originally slated to kick off on June 25 in Boston and wrap up on Sept. 3 in Los Angeles. But those plans have since changed.
On Saturday (June 17), LL Cool J confirmed reports that tour dates had been postponed. In a video, he said, “As you may have heard, I rescheduled the first leg of my tour, you know what I’m saying. Production has to be right… I gotta be 100 percent ready. I love my fans. It’s got to be right… We gon’ do this. It’s gon’ be a show like you never seen before.” In the caption, he further explained, “I have to give my fans an experience that is unforgettable. I want to make sure everything is done right, and in order to do that, I had to change some things up. The updated tour dates are now live… I’ll see you there. More to come.”
At this time, 18 shows are listed with the first taking place in Baltimore on Aug. 11. The last show is currently scheduled for Nov. 19 in Boston. Some of the hip hop legends scheduled to make appearances include Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Common, MC Lyte, Method Man and Redman, Big Boi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ice T, and Doug E. Fresh, to name a few. LL Cool J previously promised fans that the experience would be unlike anything they had seen before, including the recent Grammy tribute to the genre. “I haven’t done an arena tour in many years, you know what I’m sayin’? And I put all my energy into making this thing right. This is like everything we’ve ever done on super [steroids]. So it’s going to be way more than you can imagine,” he said in an April 29 Instagram Live with fans.

Philadelphia principal scrutinized after denying two more students their diplomas
They thought that I shouldn’t do The Griddy across the stage and do the Girls’ High traditions, nobody should have been able to wave or blow kisses or do period signs because I feel like that’s the same thing,” Abdur-Rahman explained to ABC 6 about the humiliating moment. “I feel like that’s unfair,” she added. However, a new video reveals that she was not the only student whose celebratory day was tarnished.
more footage showed that two more teens were denied the opportunity to accept their diplomas in front of family and friends. Clips circulating on social media showed the second young lady wave at her loved ones as her name was announced. When she approached Principal Lisa M. Mesi, she was denied a certificate. The event photographer, who was standing nearby, also elected not to photograph the graduate. A third video showed a young lady wave her index finger in celebration as she approached Mesi. The footage can be seen here and below.
A second person commented, “She needs to be demoted. I know her behavior during the semester is nasty!”
And a third person remarked, “You only get to graduate from high school once. I’m so sick of these schools with their rules on how these babies can celebrate. If they aren’t holding up the ceremony, leave them be. She ruined this moment for them, and it’s unacceptable.”The School District of Philadelphia previously released a statement addressing Mesi’s actions during the ceremony. It said, “During Friday’s Girls’ High graduation, the school administration chose to give a few graduates their diplomas directly after graduation versus on the stage due to the school’s graduation guidelines. The district does not condone the withholding of earned diplomas based on family members cheering for their graduates. We apologize to all the families and graduates who were impacted and are further looking into this matter to avoid it happening in the future.” Mesi has yet to issue her own statement.
While his most recent message was reassuring, he did not disclose details about the postponement. To view the full list of shows, visit the Rock the Bells website.

The superhero film with Ezra Miller came in at $55 million in its opening weekend, falling short of projections via Variety.The movie’s scored a “B” from CinemaScore.
“This is a weak three-day opening for a superhero [film],” says David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research said.“There have been similar openings that grew into big numbers,” he continued, referring to films like 2015’s Ant-Man, which opened to $57 million and ended with $519 million worldwide.
