#RHOA: Hot or NOT? Porsha Williams In a Nude, Sparkling Dress
Porsha Williams knows how to command attention — and anything else she wants. In an October 25 Instagram post, The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum shared a video of herself rocking a sheer, sparkly dress that could only be summed up in one word: wow.
In her caption, Porsha playfully noted: "This her world, she’s getting whatever she wants," and tossed in a fire emoji. She also gave shout-outs to the brand and glam-squad members who gave her the head-turning look, starting with her own hair extension, wig, and lash collection. "HAIRRR: [Go Naked]" she wrote proudly.
The Atlanta mama's thick, lustrous waves weren't the only eye-popping aspect of her look. With makeup by Biggles LLC, Porsha showed off a full set of minky lashes, shimmery purple eyeshadow, glimmering pink cheeks, and a glossy pink lip with a high-shine finish. As she fluffed her shiny locks, she displayed her butterfly wrist tattoo and gloden hoop earrings.
Porsha's look centered on her curve-clinging dress, which was selected for her by someone very special. "Styled by [Simon Guobadia]," she wrote in her caption, playfully tagging her husband. Simon has good taste.
The sheer, sparkling dress made a dazzling ensemble, and it looked even better when paired with black heels decked with gold chains, a matching chainlink bracelet, and Porsha's megawatt engagement and wedding rings. To show off the look in her video, Porsha did a slow twirl, and she looked justifiably pleased with her shimmering style.
Of course, this isn't the first time Porsha has dazzled in a dress that can help her get "whatever she wants." Ths past February, she showed off an incredible travel wardrobe while she and her new hubby took their honeymoon in Malta.
While enjoying the romantic vacation on the Mediterranean island, the RHOA alum rocked a bright red long-sleeved curve-hugging maxi dress with numerous sheer panels, completing her look with a gold cuff, gold hoop earrings, and long wavy locks.
PJ's mama showed off the details of the sultry ankle-length sheath again in another series of photos snapped by Simon. “A lovely dinner[,] now a late-night snack,” she quipped in the caption of the post, also putting her classic French manicure and dusty pink and cinnamon-colored makeup on display.

#HipHopNews: Megan Thee Stallion Announces New Single "Cobra"
Megan Thee Stallion announced her upcoming single titled “Cobra.” Slated to hit streaming platforms next Friday (Nov. 3), the artist shared its cover poster on social media alongside a pre-save link.
Earlier in the week, she released a teaser video captioned “ACT ONE.” The brief clip highlighted her mouth as she pronounced, “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past, over and over again.” Furthermore, filmmaker Douglas Bernardt is set to direct the visual accompaniment for the upcoming offering.
“Cobra” will also mark Megan’s solo track since settling her legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment. Announced on Oct. 19, attorneys for the Houston native’s former record label revealed that the two parties “mutually reached a confidential settlement.”
In a statement, they shared, “Both Megan and 1501 are pleased to put this matter behind them and move forward with the next chapter of their respective businesses.” President Carl Crawford also wished the musician “the very best in her life and career.”
During an Instagram Live earlier this month, Megan revealed that her upcoming music will be released without major label backing. The rapper stated, “This part of my album is definitely very much funded by Megan Thee Stallion because we’re trying to get off [1501 Certified]. I have no label right now, and we’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pockets. So, the budget is coming from me. Motherf**kin’ Hot Girl Productions.”
She continued, “We in my pockets, Hotties, so let’s do our big one… I’m so excited to be doing something for the first time independent since it was just me and my mama. [I’m] so excited because it’s really just me this go-round until we sign to a new label. I don’t want to sign to a new label right now because I just want to do it myself until I’m completely out of [this deal].”
Earlier this year, Megan also joined Cardi B for their joint effort “Bongos,” which marked the former’s first lead single of 2023.
Matthew Perry's Family Speaks Out After the Star's 'Tragic' Death: 'We Are Heartbroken'
"We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother," the family says. "Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend."
They add: "You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love."
Matthew was found dead at a Los Angeles-area home on Saturday. TMZ reported that Perry was found in a jacuzzi at the residence, and first responders were called to the residence for cardiac arrest.
No drugs were found at the scene and no foul play was reported, TMZ added.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson later told PEOPLE on Saturday that officers responded to a call at Matthew's address regarding the death of a male in his 50s, though authorities would not confirm the deceased's identity.
Following his death, Warner Bros. TV, which produced Friends, said in a statement about the beloved actor: “We are devastated by the passing of our dear friend Matthew Perry. Matthew was an incredibly gifted actor and an indelible part of the Warner Bros. Television Group family. The impact of his comedic genius was felt around the world, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of so many. This is a heartbreaking day, and we send our love to his family, his loved ones, and all of his devoted fans."
Matthew was raised by his father, John Bennett Perry, mother, Suzanne Morrison, and stepfather, Dateline journalist Keith Morrison.
John and Suzanne welcomed Matthew in 1969, but they split less than a year later. (Both John and Suzanne remarried and welcomed more children with their respective partners: Suzanne wed Keith in 1981, while John married wife Debbie the same year.)
Matthew — who has five siblings from his parents' later marriages — grew up in Ottawa, Canada, with his mother before moving to California to live with his father as a teenager. He followed in his dad's acting footsteps, and the two shared the screen on many occasions, including when the elder Perry appeared on Matthew's hit show Friends in 1998.
Matthew's parents were also by his side throughout his long struggle with addiction. When he was hospitalized in 2018 after his colon burst due to years of opioid use, they rushed to the hospital to be with their son. “They were both standing at the edge of my bed,” Matthew recalled to Diane Sawyer on ABC News in October 2022. “I was like, ‘Whoa, I must be really sick for this to be happening.’ ”
Richard Moll, who played towering bailiff on 'Night Court,' dies at 80
Actor Richard Moll died Thursday at his home in Big Bear Lake, Calif. He was 80.
The deep-voiced, 6 foot 8 inch actor was best known for the role of the bailiff Bull Shannon in “Night Court,” co-starring Harry Anderson and John Larroquette, from 1984 to 1992.
Moll was nominated for a Saturn award for the 1985 horror movie “House.” He voiced the role of Harvey Dent/Two-Face on “The Adventures of Batman & Robin,” as well as Scorpion on “Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He also had parts in “The Flintstones,” “Jingle All the Way,” “Casper Meets Wendy” and “Scary Movie 2.”
He had a recurring role on sitcom “Getting By” starring Cindy Williams and voiced the bodyguard in “Mighty Max.”
Moll went on to appear in the 1999 satire “But I’m a Cheerleader” with Natasha Lyonne, in which he played a gay man who shepherded teenagers sent to a re-education camp by parents who suspected they were homosexual.
His other television appearances included “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch,” “7th Heaven” and “Smallville.” After appearing in the horror movie “Nightmare Man” in 2006, he starred in “Thomas Kinkade’s Christmas Cottage” opposite Peter O’Toole, Marcia Gay Harden and Ed Asner and later appeared in “Cold Case” and “Anger Management.” He also appeared in made-for-television films including “No Place Like Home” and “The Headless Horseman.”
Born in Pasadena on Jan. 13, 1943, he graduated UC Berkeley and began acting at the Will Geer Theatre performing in works of Shakespeare.
The actor was an avid bird watcher and nature lover and retired to Big Bear Lake.
He is survived by his children Chloe and Mason Moll; ex-wife Susan Moll and stepchildren Cassandra Card and Morgan Ostling.
Earvin 'Magic' Johnson is the world's newest billionaire.
The 64-year-old Johnson also owns stakes in a trio of Los Angeles professional sports franchises, including the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks, MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers and the MLS’ LAFC.
Forbes now estimates his net worth to be $1.2 billion—the result of his stakes in those teams, and major investments in a slate of industries, including a 60% stake in Iowa-based life insurance company EquiTrust he purchased in 2015.
EquiTrust makes up the largest portion of Johnson’s personal net worth—since the purchase, the Iowa-based company’s assets have skyrocketed from $16 billion to $26 billion, with annual revenues of roughly $2.6 billion.
Over the past three decades, Johnson has launched a chain of movie theaters in a partnership with Loews, setting up theaters in predominantly Black neighborhoods in major cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston and New York City — he also began a 50/50 venture with Starbucks to open cafes in Black neighborhoods.
The 12-time NBA All-Star also owns a minority stake in a PepsiCo bottling plant outside Washington D.C. he purchased in a $60 million deal with investor Earl Graves in 1990.
Kelly Rowland Denies A Destiny’s Child Reunion
Fans have been on the edge of their seats for quite some time now ever since rumors circulated that girl group, Destiny’s Child, may be planning a reunion. Now, former member Kelly Rowland has shut those rumors down in a new interview.
In a conversation with The Messenger, Rowland explained that the three members are all working on their own projects at the moment.
“Bey wrapping up Renaissance and getting ready for her movie, Michelle in the thick of her solo projects that she’s doing, and me in my solo space and all the things that I’m doing, that’s where my head is,” Rowland shared.
“That’s where my heart is. That’s what I’m most excited about, with all due respect to Destiny’s Child. And should there be a space for that, we’ll see what happens. But as for right now, I’m so excited as to what I’m doing.”
With the group’s 25-year anniversary coming up, fans have been awaiting some sort of announcement from the trio’s camp. The official Destiny’s Child website updated its look to reflect the anniversary and with the craze around Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour, it seemed to be a glimpse of hope for those looking to hear Survivor once more.
As for now though, Rowland says shes just simply looking forward to how people continue to keep the group’s legacy alive during times like Halloween.
“I just love to be surprised on Halloween, to be honest,” Rowland shared. “I remember one year, Saweetie did ‘Bootylicious.’ Another year, this couple did Nelly and Kelly, ‘Dilemma,’ which I absolutely love. So when those pop up on my timeline and my feed, I always touch my heart. It’s so cool to be a part of culture in that kind of way.”
Lizzo defended by tour company amid legal battle with ex-dancers
The three women alleged that they faced disability discrimination and sexual and religious harassment and that they were forced to inappropriately interact with nude dancers at a sex show in Amsterdam. The “Rumors” singer countersued, and in an open letter, she shot down the disappointing claims.
However, according to Variety, a new motion to dismiss the ex-dancers’ suit was filed on Friday (Oct. 27) in the Los Angeles Superior Court. In the documents, 18 members of Lizzo’s Big Grrrl production company wrote declarations debunking claims that the Grammy Award winner was verbally abusive, body-shamed crew members, and helped cultivate a hostile working environment.
Dancer Melissa Locke claimed that Davis and Rodriguez both boasted about the fun they had with Lizzo in the Red Light District. She stated that at no point did the women indicate that they felt pressured or that their jobs were at stake if they did not participate in the night’s festivities. “They were very enthusiastic about what a great night out they had… They agreed that it was a fun night and told me that they went out in the Red Light District after. They did not complain or sound upset in any way,” wrote Locke in her declaration.
Lizzo’s attorney, Martin D. Singer, said the former dancers’ lawsuit is a “fabricated sob story” filed “out of spite and in pursuit of media attention, public sympathy, and a quick payday with minimal effort.” The motion further claims the former dancers exhibited unprofessional behavior, including showing up to rehearsal hungover and missing flights, and that the quality of dancing had begun to decline.
It is also alleged that the women “entered into consensual sexual relationships with male crew members on tour” and that they “conspired to make and disseminate an unauthorized recording of a creative meeting with Lizzo and the dance cast.”
Last month, the entertainer earned high honors at the Black Music Action Coalition when she received the Quincy Jones Humanitarian Award for her hit show, “Watch Out For The Big Grrrls.”
Suspected gunman Robert Card found dead days after mass shooting killed 18 in Maine
An intensive two-day manhunt for an Army reservist suspected of killing more than a dozen people this week in a mass shooting in Maine has come to an end.
Authorities confirmed on Friday (Oct. 27) evening that Robert Card was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to CNN. His deceased body was located close to a recycling plant, which he had recently been fired from, and near the Androscoggin River in Lisbon Falls. His abandoned white Subaru Outback was previously located not far from the river.
“Like many Maine people, I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Robert Card is no longer a threat to anyone else. I know there are many people who share that sentiment. I also know that his death may not bring solace to the victims of this tragedy,” said Governor Janet Mills in a released statement. “While this search has concluded, I know that law enforcement continues to fully investigate this tragedy so that we can bring what closure we can to the victims and their families.”
“This was a tragic two days for the families in Maine who have been devastated by gun violence… Americans should not have to live like this,” said President Joe Biden in a statement Friday. “I call on Republicans in Congress to fulfill their obligation to keep Americans safe. And I will continue doing everything in my power to end this gun violence epidemic.” The tragedy is the deadliest shooting since the Uvalde, Texas, massacre in 2022.
Card, 40, is accused of using a semiautomatic weapon in a shooting rampage on Oct. 25 at Just-in-Time Recreation and Schemengees Bar & Grille in Lewiston. A total of 18 people were killed, and 13 others were injured. Authorities have yet to release details of a possible motive.
The victims, who ranged in age from 14 to 76, are identified as Ronald G. Morin, 50; Peyton Brewer-Ross, 40; Joshua A. Seal, 36; Bryan M. MacFarlane, 41; Joseph Lawrence Walker, 57; Arthur Fred Strout, 42; Maxx A. Hathaway, 35; Stephen M. Vozzella, 45; Thomas Ryan Conrad, 34; Michael R. Deslauriers II, 51; Jason Adam Walker, 51; Tricia C. Asselin, 53; William A. Young, 44; Aaron Young, 14; Robert E. Violette, 76; Lucille M. Violette, 73; William Frank Brackett, 48; and Keith D. Macneir, 64.
Will Smith and Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa stir up questions about their past after revealing they went on a date
“We went on a date one time. Remember that?” the Hollywood juggernaut first asked. “Yes, I do… I know exactly what happened,” said Pepa before taking a few seconds to contemplate if it was a story she should share. Smith excitedly reassured her, saying, “We’re allowed to talk about it! We’ve matured! We ain’t do nothin’.”
After exchanging a few looks with Salt, Pepa began, “Okay, you were very nice,” but Smith interjected, adding that they were in Los Angeles and “went for a drive.” She would go on to say that their date took place in 1989 after Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff won their first Grammy for Best Rap Performance. Despite their victory, their win was not televised and sparked a boycott of the awards ceremony, including other hip hop figures like Russell Simmons, LL Cool J, and Salt-N-Pepa.
The New York artist continued, “We were out, and then you saw a homeless person, and you gave the homeless person $100, and it was so nice. And then we went to the Hollywood sign.” At the time, Smith said Pepa and Treach of Naughty by Nature had been broken up for a minute, though he still had concerns about a possible run-in with the New Jersey rapper.
“So in my mind, when I was like, I was trying to spit my game, but I ain’t really had nothin’… ’cause my concern was that I was gon’ get killed,” he said. When Salt suggested, “That was a legit concern,” the trio broke out into laughter.
Fans weighing in found the story comical and full of major plot points. “Lmao a lot more happened on this date for sure with all these stutters and beats,” read a comment on Instagram. On TikTok, where Smith also shared a clip, someone else wrote, “They literally ain’t say nothing about the d**n date. [Something] happened.”
#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ is at #1 with a $78M Opening
Universal and Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s is off to a historic start at the domestic box office, helping drive overall revenue
The latest horror offering from Universal and Blumhouse opened to a record-smashing $78 million, despite debuting simultaneously on sister streaming service Peacock. It started off with a monstrous Friday haul of $39.5 million, including $10.3 million in Thursday previews.
The pic — which came in notably ahead of industry expectations — scared up the third-biggest horror opening of all time behind New Line’s two It movies, as well as the best showing ever for Halloween weekend. It’s also the biggest horror opening of 2023 to date, besting Scream VI ($44.4 million), and the second-biggest opening of all time for a video-game adaptation behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($146.3 million), not adjusted for inflation.
The news is just as good overseas, where Five Nights at Freddy’s opened to an estimated $52.6 million from 60 markets for a global start of $130.6 million against a modest $25 million production budget. It supplants New Line’s The Nun II ($88.1 million) to boast the year’s biggest worldwide start for a horror film.
Freddy’s passed up Halloween, which started off with $76.2 million in 2018, to mark the biggest domestic opening ever for Blumhouse, not adjusted for inflation. It is also Blumhouse’s top global launch. Other honorable mentions: Freddy’s supplants The Mummy Returns ($68.1 million) to rank as the top opening ever for a horror pic rated PG-13, not adjusted for inflation.
While most critics bashed Freddy’s, the audience graced the movie with an A- CinemaScore (it is rare for a horror pic to receive an A or any variation thereof).
Universal insiders say the decision to do a day-and-date release is a win-win for the overall ecosystem (only paid-tier Peacock subscribers have access). Those who want the communal experience of watching a horror movie in a theater can do so, while Peacock can woo much-needed subscribers. Streamers see notable growth in October because of Halloween-themed offerings.
Before the pandemic, most theaters would have outright refused to book a title already available in the home. The COVID-19 crisis changed everything, however, with the traditional 72- to 90-day theatrical window shrinking dramatically to as little as three weeks for films that open to less than $50 million. Day-and-date releases aren’t the norm, but no cinema operator was going to refuse to play Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Directed by Emma Tammi, Freddy‘s stars Josh Hutcherson as a washed-up security guard who has no choice but to take a crappy job safeguarding a long-shuttered family-themed pizza restaurant. The only problem — the pizzeria’s giant animatronic animal characters spring to life and go on murderous rampages. He’s also trying to maintain sole custody of his 10-year-old sister (Piper Rubio) and prevent her from falling into the clutches of their Aunt Jane (Mary Stuart Masterson).
Things go from bad to worse when a group of local toughs hired by Jane break into Freddy’s while Mike is off-duty to trash the joint so he’ll lose his job. Needless to say, the giant animatronic animals don’t like the intrusion and try to exact their revenge.
Kat Conner Sterling and Matthew Lillard also star. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop created the animatronic characters.
Chris Brown Sued for Allegedly Beating Up a Man at a London Nightclub
Chris Brown is being sued for allegedly beating up a man at a London nightclub.
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday and obtained by PEOPLE, Abe Diaw claims that the "Under the Influence" singer hit him in the face with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila in February at TAPE in London.
According to the lawsuit, Brown, 34, was "beating" Diaw in the head with "crushing blows" and knocked him unconscious. Then, Brown allegedly "continued to ruthlessly stomp" on him for "30 seconds."
Diaw, who was 43 at the time, "ended up in the hospital with lacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg," the lawsuit states, adding that it left with him "permanent" damage and "severe emotional distress."
Diaw claims that TAPE caught the altercation on surveillance footage.
Brown is being sued by Diaw for damages and is demanding a trial by jury, per the lawsuit.
The singer's rep and lawyers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
Brown has a long history of legal trouble, beginning in 2009 when he physically assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna. Rihanna was left with visible facial injuries and was hospitalized; Brown was subsequently charged with felony assault and making criminal threats on March 5. He pleaded guilty to a felony on June 22 of that year and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years' probation and domestic violence counseling.
After completing the yearlong domestic violence course in 2010, Brown posted to Twitter, "I have enough self respect and decency to be proud of accomplishing this DV class. Boyz run from [their] mistakes. Men learn from them!!!"
Most recently, in May, Brown and Usher reportedly got into a fight the day before they took the stage at Lovers & Friends music festival in Las Vegas.
Brown allegedly got into an argument with Usher, 45, during his birthday party at the Skate Rock City roller rink, as seen in a video obtained by TMZ. Hollywood Unlocked was first to report the news.
Per TMZ, Brown was attempting to talk to Teyana Taylor and became angry when she ignored him, which caused Usher to intervene and try to calm the singer. The outlet said that Brown then told his crew they were leaving, and they exited the facility, though Usher followed after them.
Usher then returned from meeting the group behind a series of charter buses with what appeared to be a bloody nose, according to TMZ, which cited an eyewitness.
Former Abercrombie & Fitch Models File A Lawsuit Against The Company Over Alleged Sex
Former Abercrombie & Fitch models are suing the company, alleging that the retailer allowed CEO Mike Jeffries to operate a sex-trafficking ring.
Abercrombie & Fitch is facing a class action lawsuit with dozens of men as plaintiffs. They allege that the company’s former CEO was apart of a sex trafficking scheme that spanned a decade. The complaint accuses Jeffries of taking advantage of attractive young men who hope to become Abercrombie models.
Additionally, the 21-count lawsuit accuses Abercrombie & Fitch of being aware of the abuse but choosing to ignore it. The legal action also claims that Jeffries withdrew substantial amounts of money from corporate accounts to compensate victims.
The lawsuit follows BBC’s report, which featured claims from eight men who stated that Jeffries exploited them sexually. According to the individuals, they were recruited by a middleman who’s apart of a network of recruiters. In return, the individuals reportedly received payments ranging from $500 to $1,000 for each referral they brought into the operation.
Shortly after, Abercrombie & Fitch initiated an internal investigation into the allegations.
“The company’s current executive leadership team and board of directors were not aware of the allegations of sexual misconduct by Mr. Jeffries,” the retailer said earlier this month. “For close to a decade, a new executive leadership team and refreshed board of directors have successfully transformed our brands and culture into the values-driven organization we are today. We have zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.”
