#RHOA: Kim Zolciak Says She and Kroy Biermann Are ‘Working on Our Marriage’ Despite Divorce Filing
 Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann’s divorce has seemingly turned a corner following her latest relationship update.
“I’m living here [and] not going anywhere!” the Real Housewives of Atlanta alum, 45, wrote via her Instagram Story on Friday, September 8, showing off the inside her shoe closet. “Been working on our marriage and have been living as husband and wife.”
Zolciak-Biermann also noted that the daily “lies” are “too much” for her to deal with but did not further explain what had been specifically said about their union. Her Friday message does seemingly clap back at her ongoing divorce from Biermann, 37.

The Bravo star first filed for divorce in May after 11 years of marriage and she and Biermann were subsequently locked in a messy legal back and forth. Biermann even accused his estranged wife of having a gambling problem while requesting full custody of their four minor children. They share sons Kroy “KJ” Jr., 12, Kash, 11, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 9. (Biermann previously adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s oldest daughters, Brielle and Ariana, after their November 2011 wedding.)

Zolciak-Biermann denied the former Atlanta Falcons linebacker’s claims and they ultimately reconciled in July, dismissing the divorce petition. One month later, Biermann filed for divorce again. In his August filing, he called their marriage “irretrievably broken” and requested full custody of their young kids. Biermann also sought alimony and child support from his now-estranged wife. He also asked the court for exclusive use of the pair’s Alpharetta, Georgia, mansion.

“People knew [their reunion] wouldn’t last,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August. “In the end, it was all about fights and finances. … There has been so much toxicity between them recently.”

Us later confirmed last month that Biermann has submitted court paperwork to sell their Georgia house, with the proceeds being “placed in escrow.”
“He is asking that the court order the house to be placed on the market, and hopefully sold immediately,” Biermann’s lawyer, Marlys A. Bergstrom, told Us in an August statement. “If the court orders it then the court can enforce the order. It is taking control out of the hands of the parties. And this is exactly what needs to be done at this point.”

Zolciak-Biermann, for her part, told TMZ on September 1 that it was a “mutual” decision to get rid of the shared residence.

Bergstrom explained to Us days later that the estranged couple are in deep financial debt and selling the home is an easy way to settle the $1 million deficit.


NewMusic from BJ The Chicago Kid Teams Up With Coco Jones For New Single “Spend the Night”

BJ the Chicago Kid and Coco Jones come together for the new duet single “Spend the Night”.
The song helps bid farewell to summer as a feel-good R&B anthem. The beat was produced by Yeti, who will be teaming up with BJ the Chicago Kid for an upcoming collaborative album.

LISTEN HERE
BJ shares about the new single:
“Music is like a journey, and with our new song, we’ve taken an exciting detour from our standard sounds. It’s an experimental experience. Sometimes, you have to wander off the beaten path to discover a whole new world of creativity.”
Meanwhile, Coco also adds:

“Working with BJ was such an awesome experience. I am always so inspired by artists who love what they do. I think this song, with our tones together, is something really special.”


Joe Budden Says Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion Sound Like Two Women Who Can’t Make a Song on New ‘Bongos’ Track
Joe Budden has weighed in with his thoughts about Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's new collaborative single, "Bongos." On a recent episode, the podcast king said that Cardi and Megan's "Bongos" track sound like two women who can't make a song.

On the Joe Budden Podcast's "The Docket" (Episode 656), host Joe Budden offered his critique on Cardi B and Megan Stallion's collaborative new single, "Bongos." The two rap stars dropped their song on Friday (Sept. 8) and it's been receiving great reviews from fans on social media.

On the "The Docket" episode, Joe said the rap duo's new single doesn't have "lasting power."
"The hook is not hookin' for me. There's nothin' in it to make it stay, one," he explained at the one-hour and 36 minute-mark below. "And two...this commercialized ratchet has passed, it's ghetto ratchet time. And neither one of them are ghetto ratchet on this song."
"We need a 'Bodak Yellow' now," he continued. "This sounds like two women who can't make a song."

Joe also suggested that Cardi and Megan work with their former writers and producers - like Megan's ex Pardison Fontaine - to help them deliver a fresher sound.
In short, Joe Budden doesn't think "Bongos" has staying power for the radio or music charts.

Despite Joe Budden's dissatisfaction with their song, when it comes to collaborations, Cardi B is the queen
Recently, the Bronx rapper nabbed a whopping 12 nominations for the upcoming 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards. Cardi scored nods for Lyricist of the Year, Hip Hop Artist of the Year, Hustler Of The Year and two mentions for Best Collaboration for "Tomorrow 2" (with GloRilla) and "Put It On Da Floor Again" (with Latto).

The 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards will air on Oct. 10 at 9 p.m. ET on BET.


Chris Evans And Alba Baptista Tie The Knot In 'Intimate' Wedding Months After Engagement

Congratulations are seemingly in order to Chris Evans and Alba Baptista. If a new report is to be believed, the "Captain America: The First Avenger" star and his fiance tied the knot over the weekend in an intimate wedding.
According to Page Six, the 42-year-old and the partner said "I do" on Saturday, September 9 at a ceremony that took place at their home in Massachusetts. The wedding was attended by the couple's closest family and friends.

A source told the outlet that the "beautiful" nuptials were "locked down tight" as attendees signed NDAs and phones were forfeited. Among the guests were Chris' Marvel co-stars like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner.

PEOPLE, meanwhile, additionally revealed that John Krasinski and Emily Blunt were there. Robert and Chris Hemsworth's respective wives, Susan Downey and Elsa Pataky, were reportedly also in attendance.
Chris and Alba were first reported to be an item in November 2022. At the time, PEOPLE claimed the two had been secretly dating for more than a year and the romance was "serious."

"They are in love and Chris has never been happier," a source told the publication, adding, "His family and friends all adore her."

It was not until January of this year that "The Gray Man" villain finally gave the first glimpse at his goofy romance with the Portuguese beauty. Taking to Instagram Story, he shared a "look back" video in which he compiled footage from different times he and the 26-year-old scared each other over the past year.
Chris and Alba sparked engagement rumors in May after a wedding planner followed the actress on Instagram. An eagle-eyed fan noticed this and sent in a question to Deuxmoi in the Q&A about Chris and Alba being engaged.

After Deuxmoi posted the fan's question on its Instagram Story, someone responded by saying that the couple is engaged and is getting married. They allegedly got engaged "in the house they are building together."


Amy Robach Furious She And T.J. Holmes Were Banned From Robin Roberts' Wedding After Affair Scandal
Amy Robach missed out Robin Roberts (II) and Amber Laign's wedding and she's reportedly not happy about it. The currently unemployed TV reporter and her boyfriend T.J. Holmes were reportedly excluded from the guest list following their affair scandal.

"Amy and T.J. are not invited, and Amy is furious about it," a source told The Sun before the weekend ceremony. The Sun said of Amy and Robin's friendship before news of Amy and T.J.'s relationship broke, "She and Robin were far more than work colleagues, they shared a deep friendship."

The friction between Amy and Robin reportedly stemmed from the latter's reaction in the wake of the affair scandal that jeopardized Amy and T.J.'s career on ABC. "When their scandal came out, Robin could have gone to bat for them- she had the power to do that and they thought she would," the so-called insider said.

"Robin had the power to save Amy and TJ, she is that powerful at ABC, and she didn't," the source claimed. "She could have made the case that despite everything they are two consenting adults, and they were separated, but she chose not to."
But Robin allegedly had her own reason to exclude Amy and T.J. from her nuptials. "She isn't inviting people because she has to," the source said, adding that the 62-year-old keeps a very tight and trusted circle of friends.

Prior to this, Amy and Robin were close friends. They grew close after Robin told Amy to get a mammogram on live TV in 2013 that could save her life and it did. Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer weeks after the examination.

"Amy and Robin were incredibly close. Amy and Lara [Spencer] would compete for Robin's attention, and Robin loved it," the source spilled.
Robin and Amber got hitched on Friday, September 8 after 18 years together. Sharing the happy news via Instagram, they posted on the Instagram account they run for their beloved dog Lil Man Lukas, "My mommies are MARRIED!!!! Married?……yes….married!!!" along with a photo of the pooch sitting on a bench wearing a bow tie.


Lionel Richie wants his chance to duet with Diana Ross after she appeared onstage with Beyoncé

Lionel Richie would like a moment of Diana Ross’ time, and he wants the whole world to know about it. The Motown crooner could not help but feel slighted after seeing the iconic songstress hit the stage during the final LA show of the “Renaissance World Tour” on Sept. 4 in honor of Beyoncé’s birthday.

As previously reported the already jaw-dropping concert was accented by an appearance from Kendrick Lamar and Ross, who emerged onstage to perform her 1976 hit record “Love Hangover” and “Happy Birthday” to Queen Bey. The two ladies shared a special moment in front of thousands of fans as they embraced.

Richie is currently on tour with the equally iconic group Earth, Wind & Fire. The original Commodores singer was onstage when he addressed his longtime unrequited desire to share the spotlight with Ross like they once did in 1982. “There is a song I want to do, and for 37 years, I have tried my best to get Ms. Diana Ross to show up on this stage right here, tonight,” he said, as seen in fan footage captured from a recent show. He and The Supremes alum performed their ballad “Endless Love” for the first and only time at the Oscars in 1982.

Despite his efforts, the singer-songwriter has apparently been unable to coax Ross to share the mic with him again. “[For] 37 years, I have tried to call Ms. Ross on the phone … Full disclosure, it was clear to me when I said she has told me no for 37 years. What did you think she was gone do? Show up tonight? The woman ain’t coming. She’s over there singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Beyoncé. Piss me off,” he continued as concertgoers could be heard laughing.

In 2021, Richie appeared on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” where he stated that performing the record “is one of my bucket list things if I ever had to go back and say, ‘Could I redo something?'” At the time, he said the touring and other obligations had been the cause of their inability to recapture the magic of the only live performance together. “We just could never get our schedules together… that’s one of the things that I miss about my entire career, having us onstage together,” he noted.

The BeyHive hasn’t swarmed the 74-year-old artist in defense of Beyoncé, but several fans have expressed doubt that his mini-rant will help to convince Ross to perform with him.

 
Will Smith takes fans down memory lane to celebrate 33rd anniversary of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”
More than three decades ago, television viewers tuned into “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” on NBC for the very first time. Unbeknownst to them, series star Will Smith, and the cast, the show would go on to become a staple in the landscape of pop culture and entertainment. Today marks the 33rd anniversary of its debut.
Smith celebrated the feat with a simple post on Instagram that showed him standing in front of the iconic Brentwood home that was used for exterior shots of the fictional Bel-Air abode of the Banks family. “Moved in 33 years ago today,” wrote the actor.

The dose of nostalgia generated a range of reactions from people in the post’s comment section. “I feel inspired and old at the same time,” wrote one fan of the show. “All the feels! What a time, what a legacy,” wrote another person. And a third said, “I remember DJ Jazzy Jeff getting thrown out at least 20 times.” In 2020, the box office megastar partnered with the owner of the iconic home, making it available for temporary rentals on Airbnb.

The wildly successful sitcom completed a six-season run in May 1996 after 148 episodes and countless guest appearances from the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith, Tyra Banks, Nia Long, John Amos, Don Cheadle, Chris Rock, and so many other notable stars.

In February 2022, the show underwent a dramatic reimagining with a new cast and several nods to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” for Peacock’s “Bel-Air.” Newcomer Jabari Banks portrays the titular character, and like both the real-life and fictional Will, he, too, hails from Philadelphia.

“I say it like this: if you took all of the characters from the ’90s but you dove into all of their diaries and all of their journals and what they were feeling internally, that’s what our show is,” Banks told REVOLT in a previous interview. “So that’s going to be super exciting for old fans and new fans to watch, and you’re going to see a lot of callbacks to the original, a lot of tidbits, and a lot of Easter eggs, so that’s going to be exciting as well,” he added.
“Bel-Air” wrapped a second successful season in April. In March, it was announced that the streamer renewed the show for a third season; however, its release is delayed until 2024 due to the ongoing writers and actors strike.


'Aquaman 2' Gets Teaser Footage Ahead of Trailer Drop, Amber Heard Confirmed for Cast By Warner Bros.
A trailer tease has been released for Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom ahead of the full trailer arriving on Thursday and Warner Bros. also confirmed that Amber Heard is in the cast.

There had been questions surrounding Amber‘s role in the film amid her court cases with ex-husband Johnny Depp, but the studio has finally revealed she’s definitely included in the movie.
Here’s the film’s synopsis: “Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.”

Sarah Francis Jones: ‘Hairspray’ Actress Went Into Labor At Beyoncé’s Birthday Concert

Sarah Francis Jones took the birthday portion of Beyoncé’s birthday concert on September 4 very seriously. The “Hairspray” and “Honey” actress says she went into labor that day during Bey’s “Renaissance Tour.”
“Beyonce induced my baby,” read a video shared by Jones and her partner, “The Neighborhood” actor Marcel Spears, on their Instagram accounts showing her very pregnant at the concert, which was held at SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Inglewood.

According to another post, Jones didn’t think she was actually in labor at the time.

“We thought it was just Braxton hicks or gas,” she wrote in the caption of another, similar video. “Turns out we were having a whole baby at @beyonce bday show.”
It also appears that the Bey-by girl wanted to get in on one of the most famous portions of Beyoncé’s show.

During her performance of the single “Energy,” Beyoncé’ sings “Look around, everybody on mute” and the audience is supposed to go silent.
“And it was at that moment that my contractions started,” Jones wrote in the caption of a video of the moment. “Baby wanted to be part of the mute challenge so bad!”


An old video of Ashton Kutcher making an inappropriate comment about Hilary Duff has resurfaced in light of his and Mila Kunis' support of Danny Masterson.
The clip comes from a 2003 episode of MTV's Punk'd, a show hosted by Kutcher until 2007, where he would infamously pull outrageous pranks on celebrities. In the newly viral video, Kutcher made a comment about Duff, his then co-star in 'Cheaper by the Dozen,' that some social media users agree didn't age very well.

"Hilary Duff is in Lizzie McGuire, she also has an album out. She's going to be in a movie called Cheaper by the Dozen," said a 25-year-old Kutcher about the then 16-year-old Disney star. "And she's one of the girls that we're all waiting for to turn 18. Along with the Olsen twins."

Another damning clip of Kutcher from a 2002 appearance on The Rosie O'Donnell Show is making its rounds online. During the interview, Kutcher and Kunis discussed co-starring as Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart on That 70's Show. They revealed that when they began the show in 1998, Kutcher was 19 years old, and Kunis was merely 14. Kutcher said they were told early on that the two would be "making out" in certain scenes. "And I'm like thinking this is slightly illegal, right," he pondered.

Kunis then claimed that Kutcher and Danny Masterson made a bet regarding the on-screen kiss, which she revealed was her first ever. "I never kissed a guy. And you know, Ashton is attractive and I was a 14-year-old little girl, and I was extremely scared for my life," he said.

"Then Danny goes, 'Dude, I'll give you $10 if you French kiss her,'" continued Kunis before being interrupted by Kutcher, revealing that Masterson had actually bet $20 that he wouldn't do it. "And then the cops showed up, and you got arrested," said O'Donnell. "They should have, but they didn't," Kutcher responds.

The clip ends with Kunis explaining that Kutcher's attempt to French kiss her never succeeded because she didn't allow it, even though he adamently claimed otherwise.
Another uncomfortable exchange, this time between Masterson and Conan O'Brien from 2004, was brought to light where the talk show host eerily predicted that the former TV star would be "caught soon."

Kutcher and Kunis, now 45 and 40 respectively, made headlines this week when it was revealed that they sent letters to a Los Angeles County judge asking for leniency for their former co-star Masterson who was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after being found guilty of two counts of rape.

“While I’m aware that the judgment has been cast as guilty on two counts of rape by force and the victims have a great desire for justice, I hope that my testament to [Masterson’s] character is taken into consideration in sentencing,” Kutcher wrote in his letter, before adding that he doesn’t believe Masterson “is an ongoing harm to society.”

After online backlash in response to the letters, the couple apologized in a video uploaded to social media on Saturday. "We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future," said Kunis in the clip. "They were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re-traumatize them in any way," added Kutcher. "We would never want to do that, and we're sorry if that has taken place."


Tiffany Haddish Says She Was Never Paid For Starring In Her First Film: “They Were Supposed To Pay Me $1,200 To Do The Movie”
Tiffany Haddish reveals that she didn’t receive any compensation for her initial film appearance. During an interview with the Associated Press, Haddish discussed Hollywood’s evolving financial structures during the SAG-AFTRA strike. She disclosed that prior to her role in “Girls Trip,” she acted in a non-union movie and was assured a $1,200 payment, but she ultimately did not receive a single dollar.
“My very first movie I ever did that I was the star in, I was homeless while I was shooting that movie,” Haddish said. “They were supposed to pay me $1,200 to do the movie. I wasn’t in the union. It was non union film so there was nothing I could do about it. They never paid me. They never paid me a dime. The producers gave me 10 DVDs and said, ‘Sell those. Good luck.’ I never saw the movie.”

She continued, “Then ‘Girls Trip’ comes out in 2017. That movie is all over BET, VH1…this network, this streaming. It’s everywhere, that movie! I don’t get a dime. It’s the second worst movie I was ever in. Not a penny.”

In 2020, Haddish revealed that she earned $80,000 for her role in “Girls Trip.” During an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine the previous year, she shared that she dedicated her entire paycheck to completing the payment for the house she purchased after the initial season of “The Carmichael Show.” She was determined to quickly pay off the house to avoid the possibility of experiencing homelessness once more.

“I started trying to figure out how to create generational wealth. The fastest way to do it and the first way you should go about doing it is buy some land,” Haddish said. “So before we even got into Season 2 of ‘The Carmichael Show,’ I bought a house. Everybody told me I should wait, but I didn’t care.”
