#RHOA: Drew Sidora Calls Sheree Inviting Ex Assistant to Party a “Slap in [Her] Face
Drew Sidora is reacting to Sheree Whitfield inviting a man accused of assaulting her to her granddaughter’s Sip and See.
After the event was featured on last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Drew, 38, said she felt “[slapped] in [her] face” by Sheree, 53, who suggested Drew is a liar and is secretly on good terms with the man, her former assistant Anthony Gaskin, as Kandi Burruss, 47, shared her own thoughts on the matter.
“To be honest with you, it wasn’t on my mind. When I’m planning Mecca’s Sip and See, I’m not thinking about [Drew],” Sheree said on the August 20 episode of the RHOA: After Show.
While Sheree noted that her mind was elsewhere, she also took aim at Drew’s past lies.
“I know she lies so much that you just never know what to believe,” she stated.
According to Sheree, she was told things that led her to believe any tension between Drew and Anthony had been resolved.
“[Anthony] said that I think she or her assistant would invite him, still, to different events, like, he got an invite to [Ralph Pittman Jr.’s] birthday party. So the assistant is still in contact with Anthony, so I didn’t think it would be an issue,” she explained, adding, “They probably were not the only two people in the room who didn’t get along. People are able to be grown and cordial and co-exist.”
Then, after Kandi pointed out that Anthony had “said some bad things about Sheree” in the past, and claimed she “wouldn’t have necessarily invited him,” Sheree confirmed she and Anthony made up last year.
“He apologized. He said he didn’t say the things Drew said he said,” she revealed.
Still, Kandi felt that a heads-up would’ve been nice.
“I understand it’s your party. You can invite who you wanna invite, but you can give [Drew] a heads up,” she stated. “[Drew] could’ve said, ‘Well I’m gonna bring my husband.’ Or [she] could’ve brought someone with [her] to make you feel protected in some way or been prepared at least.”
“What Kandi said. [And] I did invite my husband to come,” Drew replied.
Drew then compared Sheree’s invite to Anthony to a “slap in my face” before somewhat shadily noting that she understood why he was there.
“He introduced her to [Martell Holt, 41]. So it’s all about the man, honey,” Drew said. “[And] I know that Antony has a marketing degree, and that’s all I’ll say. Because I’m not gonna say specifically, but I know he has a marketing degree.”
Drew then got to her point, saying, “He can call a blogger and have them meet in the back row, in the rocky road, and it was Anthony that put it together, so I’m just saying, I understand why he was probably invited.”

#HipHopNews: Eminem Has Had Enough, Sends Cease and Desist to Vivek Ramaswamy
Eminem has asked Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using the rapper’s songs on his presidential campaign.
Ramaswamy often performed (badly) as a libertarian rapper while he was at Harvard, and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” was one of his favorite songs. Ramaswamy has since tried to reclaim his rapper status, freestyling terribly on Fox & Friends and performing “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair.
In a letter dated August 23, Eminem’s lawyer informed Ramaswamy’s campaign that Eminem objected to their repeated use of his music during their campaign stops.
It shouldn’t be surprising that Eminem opposes Ramaswamy using his music. The rapper has long made his political stances clear. He released a protest song against George W. Bush in 2004 that criticized the then president for invading Iraq and Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. In 2017, Eminem wrote a song in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and released a freestyle rap railing against Donald Trump’s morals, policies, and racist behavior.
Ramaswamy, on the other hand, is more interested in sucking up to Trump, battling “wokeness,” and insisting that 9/11 was an inside job.
University of North Carolina faculty member is killed in campus shooting, and a suspect is in custody, school says
A suspect is in custody after a shooting at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon left a faculty member dead and prompted students and others to shelter in place for hours as police looked for the gunman, school officials said.
Shots were reported fired at 1:02 p.m. ET at the school’s Caudill Laboratories, and a suspect was taken into custody shortly after 2:30 p.m., Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said at a Monday evening news conference.
The names of the faculty member and the suspect were not immediately released. It was too early to know a motive for the shooting, UNC Police Chief Brian James said.
“We really want to know the ‘why’ in this case and what led to it,” James said.
The gun used in the shooting has not been found, the chief added.
James said it was unclear whether the victim and the assailant knew each other.
“That will hopefully be uncovered through interviews of the suspect as well as any witnesses that may be available,” James said.
The killing is “devastating and the shooting damages the trust and safety that we so often take for granted in our campus community. We will work to rebuild that sense of trust and safety within our community,” Guskiewicz said.
The school had issued an alert to students telling them to shelter in place at about 1 p.m., later adding a suspect was at large. The university then issued an “all clear” shortly before 4:15 p.m.
Classes and campus activities were canceled Monday and Tuesday, officials said.
During the alert period, university police advised students to go inside immediately, close windows and doors and to wait until further notice, according to an email. A witness on campus told CNN they were locked down in their building and saw armed officers searching campus.

Video from CNN affiliate WRAL in Chapel Hill showed a large number of police vehicles at the campus with their emergency lights flashing. At times, people walked out of nearby buildings in a single-file line with their arms in the air.
A WRAL reporter also recorded video of campus police surrounding a person in handcuffs who appeared to be dressed in a dark shirt and jeans and wearing glasses at the time the school was under lockdown.
The university has a student body of about 32,000, along with more than 4,000 faculty and 9,000 staff members.
Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Make Relationship Instagram Official Months After Affair Scandal
Both Amy and T.J. just made their Instagram return by reactivating their respective accounts after deactivating them amid backlash over their affair. In their first post since their social media comebacks, they shared an identical black-and-white photo of their matching running shoes on Monday, August 28.
"#nycmarathon2023," the controversial pair captioned the snap, adding a pair of running emojis. They turned off the comments.
Amy and T.J. have been running together since before news of their affair broke in November 2022. In March last year, the couple ran the NYC Half Marathon side by side. They, again, ran together for the 2023 RBC Brooklyn Half Marathon two months later.
In December 2022, the former "Good Morning America" anchors were fired by ABC following their affair scandal and have since been replaced by Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan on "GMA 3". They have not made their TV return, though there have been reports about the couple shopping their own show to major networks including CBS, NBC and CNN.
Despite their struggles to find a new job, Amy and T.J. have been inseparable. Earlier this month, it was reported that they planned to "move in together and get engaged" as they are moving on from their affair scandal.
A source told Us Weekly that months after going public with their relationship, Amy and T.J. were "in a good place." The so-called insider gushed, "They're moving on from all the negative around the affair and looking toward the future together."
The informant added that the pair "are very happy and laying low" in the last few months. "Now the plan is they do want to move in together and get engaged," the insider continued.
Taylor Swift Throws Shade At Kanye West's 2009 VMAs Interruption On 'Eras Tour'
Taylor Swift continues to have the last laugh following her years-long feud with Kanye West. The country-turned-pop superstar has seemingly taken a jab at the rapper over his infamous interruption at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards during her recent "The Eras Tour" show.
Performing in Mexico on Sunday, August 27, the 33-year-old appeared to throw shade at her nemesis when talking about the "best way" to get interrupted. "It's the best way to be interrupted, by the way, just people chanting your name," she said during the "Evermore" set of her fourth show at Mexico City's Foro Sol stadium.
The singer/songwriter reportedly addressed the crowd when she had to stop talking after the audience drowned her out. "It's really the only way to be interrupted," she added as seen in a fan-taken clip which has been circulating online. "And I would know." She giggled before continuing to give an emotional speech about the tour.
This isn't the first time Taylor appeared to have fun when making a reference to her nemesis Kanye during her "Eras Tour". Back in July, she burst into laughter when performing her Kanye diss song "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" onstage at Lumen Field.
The 33-year-old songstress cracked a good laugh after delivering the first verse from her 2017 track. "I can't even say it with a straight face," she continued singing after giggling.
The song's lyrics go, "Here's a toast to my real friends/ They don't care about the he said, she said/ And here's to my baby/ He ain't reading what they call me lately/ And here's to my mama/ Had to listen to all this drama. And here's to you, cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do."
Taylor and Kanye's feud began in 2009 after he interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs when she accepted the Best Female Video award. He rushed to the stage to declare that Beyonce Knowles' music video deserved to win over Taylor's.
Years later, the two appeared to be on better terms until Ye released his 2016 song "Famous", on which he refers to her as a "b***h." The "Anti-Hero" songstress insisted that she never gave her consent to such lyric, although a leaked phone recording showed the Atlanta rapper playing parts of the song for her.
Kevin Hart Shares Sweet Photo Of Dropping His Daughter Off At College: 'I Cried'
On Friday, the comedian shared a photo on Instagram that showed him with his family gathered in what appeared to be Heaven Hart’s dorm room.
“I’m not crying ... [you’re] crying,” he wrote in the caption of his post.
“I can’t even say little girl anymore because you have blossomed into the most amazing young woman ever!!!!! God knows I am beyond proud of you and that I love you with my all.
He continued: “Fly Heav Fly….The world is yours!!!!! My baby girl is off to college…. I cried in the car!!!!”
Hart posed in the picture with his 18-year-old daughter and his 15-year-old son, Hendrix, both of whom he shares with ex-wife Torrei Hart.
The photo also included the comedian’s current spouse, Eniko Hart, and their 5-year-old son, Kenzo. The couple share a daughter as well: 2-year-old Kaori.
Torrei Hart marked the college milestone on her own Instagram page.
“So proud of you baby girl,” she wrote.
The “Fatherhood” actor has been celebrating his eldest daughter’s accomplishments in recent months.
In May, he honored her graduating from high school with another sweet post on Instagram.
“Heav you made me so proud yesterday,” he wrote.
Hart’s celebratory moment of dropping the teen off at school came shortly after a humbling one.
On Wednesday, the actor shared that he had severely injured himself following a friendly footrace with retired NFL running back Stevan Ridley.
“This is just a public service announcement, because I know people may see me out and I don’t want you to be alarmed, but I’m in a wheelchair,” Hart said in an Instagram video. “Why? Because I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff.”
High School Football Coach Arrested After Allegedly Punching Player in Stomach on Live TV
A high school football game in the Atlanta area took a shocking turn and ended with a coach being taken into custody.
A football game at an Atlanta-area high school ended in controversy and shock after a coach had an altercation with a player.
The incident occurred on Saturday, Aug. 26 when a lay coach from Mays High School, identified as Carl Sledge, was captured on video yelling at a player before punching him in the stomach during a timeout on the sidelines. The moment happened in the first quarter and was broadcast on local station Peachtree TV.
After the alleged assault, the player was seen hunching over in pain but stayed on his feet. Sledge was then removed from the field by an Atlanta Public Schools police officer and was taken into custody.
“A lay coach for Mays High School, who is not a classroom instructor, is in police custody after an incident that occurred on the sideline during the school’s game this afternoon against Douglas County High School,” said Atlanta Public Schools spokesman Seth Coleman in a statement to Atlanta News First. “The lay coach will be charged with simple battery and face administrative charges from the district.”
Lay coaches, also known as community coaches, are assistants who do not teach in the school nor hold professional certification.
The game was part of the Great Atlanta Bash and was held at the stadium in Midtown High School in Atlanta. Mays High School lost the game with a final score of 48-42 against Douglas County.
Adele Says She Wants to 'Be a Mom Again Soon,' Reveals the Baby Name Boyfriend Rich Paul Likes
“I really want to be a mom again soon,” Adele said, as seen in a TikTok shared by a fan.
Adele made the confession after a pregnant audience member asked her for helping choosing a name for her unborn baby.
Adele, who shares 10-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki, went on to reveal that she’s already started collecting baby names.
“I’ve actually been writing lists,” Adele said. “So every time I see a name that I like, I write it down in my phone.”
The pregnant fan then asked Adele to choose between the names Spencer and Parker, and she revealed that Parker is already on her list.
“I can’t say Parker because Rich likes that name,” Adele replied, choosing Spencer instead.
Adele also said that she likes the name Ray, prompting the surprised fan to reveal that Ray will be her unborn baby’s middle name
Barack & Michelle Obama Attend U.S. Open 2023 Match Between Coco Gauff & Laura Siegemund
The Obamas are spending the night at the 2023 U.S. Open! Former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama shared a laugh as they attended Day One of the tennis tournament on Monday night (August 28) held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.
For their time at the tournament, Barack, 62, was seen wearing a gray bomber jacket over a white buttoned-down shirt while Michelle, 59, wore a denim dress and black cardigan.
The Obamas attended the Women’s Singles First Round match between USA’s Coco Gauff‘s and Germany’s Laura Siegemund. Coco ended up winning the match 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Coco will next face off against Russia’s Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday, August 30.
Lizzo’s Former Dancers Call Singer’s Countersuit ‘Attempt at Intimidation’
We reported previously that Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez are suing Lizzo and the singer’s dance captain Shirlene Quigley, claiming they were subjected to sexual harassment, religious harassment, disability discrimination, and a toxic work environment.
According to The Blast, attorney Ron Zambrano, who represents the plaintiffs, wrote in a statement to Page Six: “Lizzo’s threat to countersue for malicious prosecution is an insidious attempt at intimidation and delivers a chilling effect to all harassment victims in the workplace.”
He noted that Lizzo’s team’s approach of “scare tactics, bullying, and victim-shaming,” highlights the perverse behaviors in the entertainment industry.
The lawyer also believes that “Her team is merely trying to suppress the truth and hide her hypocrisy of publicizing her brand as one of empowerment and body positivity while privately depriving women of their empowerment.”
Lizzo’s attorney, Marty Singer, revealed her intention to file a lawsuit against the three women. He also shared images showing the plaintiffs “happily carousing” and “gleefully reveling” backstage with topless cabaret performers in Paris, TMZ reports. The photos were allegedly taken about a month after the infamous banana incident with Lizzo in Amsterdam.
In their lawsuit against the artist, the dancers recall one incident when Lizzo allegedly pressured Davis to touch the breasts of a nude performer at an Amsterdam club, Daily Mail reports. Lizzo allegedly encouraged “catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas,” per the lawsuit, according to Daily Mail.
Lizzo’s accusers claim she pressured them to go to the Paris topless show, but Singer tells TMZ that their reaction seemingly contradicts the photos taken March 5, about a month after the February visit to Bananenbar in Amsterdam.
Per TMZ, Singer said the former Big Grrrl dancers are “happily cavorting backstage” with the topless performers.
In response, an attorney for the plaintiffs, Neama Rahmani, told TMZ, “Of course, they wanted to keep their jobs. They had bills to pay just like everyone else but they finally had enough of the abuse. We stand by every claim in the lawsuit and look forward to trial.”
Rahmani added, “We’ve been hearing from other former employees sharing similar stories, and as seen in the Los Angeles Times article today about how Lizzo used intimate footage of her dancers without their approval in the 2022 HBO Max ‘Love Lizzo’ documentary, we’re seeing even more of a pattern of just how much Lizzo thinks of those who work for her. Clearly, not very much.”
Instagram Influencer Beauty Couch Found Dead in Georgia, Boyfriend Arrested
*The boyfriend of popular Instagram influencer Beauty Couch was arrested Friday as the prime suspect in her alleged murder.
According to The Daily Beast, Georgia police found Couch’s body last week near her burning car in Austell. The 22-year-old had been missing since Tuesday morning, per a statement from the Cobb County Police Department. When her body was found, police immediately suspected foul play and linked 21-year-old Eugene Louis-Jocques of Naples, Florida to the crime. He was apprehended in Louisiana by the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Proactive Enforcement Unit on charges of murder, arson, and aggravated assault.
“Let the message be that we do not take kindly to people who think they can commit a crime elsewhere and try to hide in St. Tammany Parish,” said Sheriff Randy Smith.
“We were happy to help our counterparts in Georgia by locating this suspect and taking him into custody so he may face justice and Miss Couch’s family can begin to receive closure during this difficult time.”
Louis-Jacques is reportedly awaiting extradition back to Georgia from St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.
Couch was a college student and social media star with over 150,000 Instagram followers and mainly posted roller-skating videos.
“She was a sweet girl. She never bothered nobody. She never bothered nobody. She was a friend to everybody,” said her mother, Kimberly Couch, according to The Daily Beast.
Couch’s adoptive mother, Deanna Thurman, noted in a GoFundMe, “She stole my heart from day one. She has always been such a sweet, happy, and talented child. Always smiling and dancing around the house at the tender age of two. She was extremely active and vibrant with a love and passion for all things skating and dancing.”
There is no clear motive for Couch’s killing.
Donald Trump’s Federal Election Interference Trial Will Kick Off In March 2024
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan confirmed that the disgraced former president will stand before a jury on March 4, 2024. Jury selections will begin in December, which presents an issue for Trump’s team. They are pushing for the trial to start in April 2026, which is after the presidential election. However, Chutkan is not budging on the date.
“This case isn’t going to trial in 2026, and I want to know, despite the rhetoric in your response to the government’s trial date, realistically why you think you need this time,” Chutkan stated during the hearing.
Trump is still seeking a return to the White House despite his mounting legal troubles. His supporters are seemingly unphased by his possible prison stint as well. His campaign has raised over $7 million for him since he turned himself in last Thursday, Fox 5 DC reported. His mugshot from Fulton County Jail has gone viral on social media.
Trump has been indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, and conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one’s vote counted. He has pleaded not guilty. The Department of Justice originally asked for a January 2nd, though it was determined that did give Trump’s team enough time to prepare their case.
This trial date is only for the federal trial. He is set to be arraigned for his Georgia voters interference case on September 6th.
