#RHOA: Porsha Williams, NeNe Leakes And Cynthia Bailey Link Up In Dubai For A Fun Ladies Night!
Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Porsha Williams, NeNe Leakes, and Cynthia Bailey linked up while celebrating her wedding anniversary in Dubai. The trio’s unexpected reunion had some fans pondering whether the ladies were plotting a return to the famous Bravo franchise.
On Nov. 26, Williams took to Instagram to share several videos and photos that captured her having a blast during her fun ladies night outing with Bailey and Leakes at a posh restaurant in the capital city. Real Housewives of Dubai stars Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan were also present for the trio’s reunion.
Williams, 42, rocked a colorful paisley bodycon dress by Onalaja as she shared laughs and broke bread with her reality TV sisters. The star, who was celebrating her 1-year wedding anniversary with Nigerian businessman Simon Guobadia, paired the eye-catching ensemble with PVC kitten heels and a light brown studded clutch. Leakes, 55, opted for a see-through off the shoulder printed mini dress with matching leggings, while Bailey, 56, rocked a black leather maxi dress and cool shades.
“We celebrated our anniversary with some baddies,” Williams captioned her post. “Baby the Kiki we had was unmatched.”
In the comments section, fans and supporters penned that they were happy to see the ladies back together in action. Some wondered if the threesome would come back to RHOA.
“Y’all look too good. I need another season with you ladies!!!!! I would definitely tune in,” one user wrote. Another fan gushed, “Now this the real #RHOA crew and this what it should look like.”
A third person added,”Ya’ll are going to make me cry!!! Haven’t watched RHOA since ya’ll left.”
RHOA fans have been calling for the return of Leakes and Williams since their departures in Season 12 and Season 13. Diehard viewers claimed that the duo brought the perfect amount of drama and entertainment to the cast when they were on the long-running franchise.
Viewership has declined since the duo’s departure. According to TV Deets, Season 15 hit an all-time high viewership of 994,000 during part two of the reunion Sept. 10. In 2020 — Leakes’ final season — the show achieved a high of 2,008,000 viewers. In 2021, viewership ticked up again when Williams was still with the franchise, hitting a season-high of 1,434,000 viewers.
We would love to see the ladies come back for another messy season, but only time will tell.
In a follow-up post on Sunday, Williams sent fans down memory lane after she shared a video in which Leakes poked fun at her iconic line from the RHOA Season 5 reunion during their Dubai link-up. If you remember, in 2013, the reality TV maven threatened to “call Porsha” on her co-star Kenya Moore after the latter pulled Moore by the hair for talking smack throughout the season.

Ms. Tina Defends Beyoncé Against Claims She “Wants To Be White”
Ms. Tina Knowles does not play when it comes to her family. On Tuesday (Nov. 28), the 69-year-old took to Instagram with a scorching message for those hating on her eldest child and those insinuating that Beyoncé “wants to be white” after photos emerged from the RENAISSANCE film premiere where Bey appears to have a lighter complexion than usual.
Knowles reposted a fan-made video that featured the 42-year-old’s empowering anthem, “BROWN SKIN GIRL” over clips of Bey throughout the years. Towards the end of the video, it read, “Beyoncé is a brown skin girl. Sometimes, more or less light. A brown skin girl is more than a skin color. It’s a culture, a pride, a strength.”
The recent divorcee began, “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white. She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?”
Knowles called out Black people who have perpetuated the “stupid narrative with hate and jealousy.” However, what upset her the most was a white woman from TMZ reaching out to Beyoncé’s hairstylist, Neal Farinah, for a statement on Bey “wanting to be white.”
“Well that made my blood boil — that this white woman felt so entitled to discuss her blackness,” Knowles wrote. “What’s really most disappointing is that the some Black people yes you bozos that’s on social media. Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand. That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days. I am sick and tired of people attacking her.”
Knowles concluded, “Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience, here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism , double standards , you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her, I am sick of you losers. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.”
Julez Smith — Bey’s nephew and Tina’s grandson — commented, “Talk to em grandma, They need it.” Others also rallied behind Mama Tina in defense of Beyoncé. Keke Palmer commented, “I love you so much, Ms. Tina! She deserves to be protected in this way!” Later, Cynthia Ervio chimed in, “Snaps to all this!! You have EVERY right to stand behind your baby girl!!!”
Beyoncé has not shared anything on her personal Instagram since releasing the final trailer for RENAISSANCE: A Film By Beyoncé. It will be released this Friday
Shannon Sharpe Blasted For Sexual Comments About Megan Thee Stallion
The 55-year-old sports analyst went into explicit detail about what he would like to do with the “Cobra” artist on the Monday (Nov. 28) episode of Nightcap with his co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson. “I’d have her stretched out like quarter to three,” Sharpe said. “I do it three ways, Ocho: deep, hard, and continuously… I’d have her opening up like saloon doors.”
One Instagram user was critical of the Hall Of Famer’s commentary and felt it did not reflect well on ESPN, his place of employment. “Love Shannon, but this is wildly inappropriate,” they wrote. “He is employed by ESPN. They don’t play that, he needs to tone it down on these types of comments. It’s not the 90s anymore.”
Another user brought up the many sexual assault lawsuits that have come to light over the last few weeks and encouraged men to consider how they discuss women. “In light of all the lawsuits, I just want men to chill for a min,” they wrote. “Like take a step back from the overt/public sex talk and stories and find something safe to chat about.”
One commenter felt Shannon Sharpe should’ve had more control given his age. “Giving perv vibes. Please go find something else to do cause this ain’t it,” they wrote. “Shannon is getting a bit too comfortable. He should relax, he’s giving old & creepy.”
Megan Thee Stallion recently spoke about her love life and how she is perceived. “It’s like, nobody be listening to my music,” she said in an Instagram Live. “They be like, ‘Megan Thee Stallion, I cannot believe she likes to have sex! I cannot believe Megan Thee Stallion f**ks!’ Bi**h, y’all be… But no, I am turning over a new leaf. And I’m stingy with the coochie cat. I’m not a freak anymore. Oh my God. I’m done. I’m done with the streets. So toxic in the streets. I’m tired with the streets.”
Michael Jackson's Nephew Jaafar Jackson Emulates The King Of Pop In First Pic From Biopic's Set
Jaafar Jackson was seen emulating his late uncle in the first photo from the set in Los Angeles.
In photos and a video obtained by Daily Mail and published on Tuesday, the son of Michael's elder brother Jermaine Jackson donned a pair of black trousers that featured a gold stripe on the sides as well as a plain white T-shirt. He layered the look with a button up that was left unfastened.
Jaafar appeared to copy one of Michael's stage looks, minus the signature hat. The actor could be seen standing in front of a white backdrop and showing his dance moves while rehearsing with an empty microphone before camera started rolling.
Jaafar was announced to be cast as his uncle in Antoine Fuqua's film back in January. "Proud to announce @jaafarjackson as Michael - the motion picture event that explores the journey of the man who became the King of Pop," the filmmaker shared the news via social media along with a picture of the 27-year-old wearing outfit similar to the one MJ sported in his "Billie Jean" era while dancing in front of mirrors.
The director also said in a statement, "It's incredibly exciting to watch Jaafar bring Michael to life. There was such a spiritual connection when I first met Jaafar, who has a natural ability to emulate Michael and such a great chemistry with the camera."
In a recent interview with EW, Antoine said he's "blown away" by Jaafar's "uncanny" resemblance to the late King of Pop. "It's uncanny how much he's like Michael," he said. "Sounds like him, dances like him, sings. It's really uncanny. Graham King, who is a fantastic producer, found him, and introduced him to me, and I was blown away."
Asked about his approach to the film, which is scheduled to arrive in 2025, he said, "Just to tell the facts as we know it, about the artist, about the man, about the human being. You know, the good, bad, and the ugly."
Dez Bryant Accuses Malika Andrews Of Bias Over Josh Giddey Scandal
Bryant took to his X account on Monday (Nov. 27), accusing the NBA Today host for not only having bias about the incident, but also delaying coverage compared to other players she’s reported on in a timely manner. Andrews reportedly spoke about the scandal on-air the same day Bryant sent out his sentiments.
In a series of posts, the former Dallas Cowboys star wrote, “@malika_andrews you went out your way to crucify Brandon Miller on draft day over something he didn’t even do. Why haven’t you said nothing about Josh Giddey. I advise you not to make this a black or white thing.”
“Your parents really raised you wrong and just because you went to a private school don’t make you better,” he went on. “You appeal and I know your kind. You just a puppet. I dont know how a former or current nba player could sit there across from you and look at you with some kind of respect.”
Social Media immediately caught wind of the shots fired, leaving many in agreement with the 35-year-old athlete while others took Andrews’ side.
“Lol she gave a 45 second segment on it. I believe she’s waiting on more evidence to come up like most ESPN figure heads,” one person responded to Bryant, as Spank Horton clarified that Andrews did mention the incident on the show.
“It was by public demand! They felt the heat!” Bryant clapped back. “They waited forever to make a statement. Certain athletes get the privilege, innocent till proven guilty. Certain athletes are guilty until proven innocent and by that time who gives a f**k. You already got the label on you. Ain’t nobody going to tell me how this game go. It’s sick.”
Giddey is reportedly under investigation by the NBA for allegations of participating in an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl. Following photos of Giddey and the minor surfacing, the 21-year-old Australian player’s $40 million sponsorship is now reportedly at risk.
Brandon Miller’s case, which was brought up by Bryant, saw the Charlotte Hornets player being accused of a wrongful death last month by the family of a 23-year-old woman named Jamea Harris. Harris died from a shooting in January near the University of Alabama campus. Although Miller was not charged with killing Harris, police reportedly alleged that Miller was asked by his former teammate, Darius Miles, to grab his gun and bring it to where Miles was located.
Upon public scrutiny of Andrews’ coverage of Miller, social media began pointing out the difference in how she covered Miller’s story compared to Giddey’s. Bryant believes Andrews “tried to ruin” his 2023 draft moment.”
Passionately, Bryant spoke on why he felt moved to call the 28-year-old reporter out, while also mentioning the harm that media can do to someone’s livelihood.
“[Miller’s] going to have kids one day and I’m sure that clip will appear again… You media people know exactly what y’all are doing. Don’t ask questions like I’m not hip to the bullsh*t,” he wrote in a comment to a user questioning why he’s more investing in Giddey’s scandal than the NBA.
Jada Pinkett Smith says she and Will Smith are 'staying together forever' after 2016 separation
Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are in it for the long haul. In a preview clip from an with Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show set to air Tuesday, the actress, who is promoting her memoir Worthy, confirms that she and the Men in Black star will continue in their marriage.
“I feel like maybe your and his shadow separated in a way in this book, whether they stay together forever or not,” Barrymore says. “It sounds like you’re staying together forever.”
“We’re staying together forever,” Pinkett Smith responds. “I tried. We tried,” alluding to the couple’s several years long separation that ultimately didn’t take.
Pinkett Smith had previously stated that she and Smith separated in 2016. "I think we were both stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she said on The Today Show. Later, at a publicity event for Worthy, she said, “The truth of the matter is I'm not leaving Will's side and he's not going to leave mine. We've been on a powerful quest. And I'm happier than I've ever been."
Pinkett Smith had also said that her husband’s altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards marked a turning point in their relationship. “Being there with him that night, what I did know, was that I might not have walked in there as his wife, but I left that night as his wife,” she said in an interview with CBS Mornings. “And as I sit here today, I am going to be by his side, always.”
Elsewhere in the Barrymore interview, Pinkett Smith also discusses her time making Girls Trip. “We had a good time on that movie,” she says. “I would say we did a lot of improving on that movie and it would always be jumped off by Tiffany [Haddish]. Tiffany was always coming up with something wild to do in the scene and we would play off of her.”
Barrymore also asks about a potential sequel to the 2017 comedy. “I mean, look, they keep talking about it so we’ll see,” Pinkett Smith responds. “It would be lovely to do.”
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris Spotted Together at Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” World Tour Concert Film Premiere
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris were spotted together at the Renaissance World Tour concert film premiere on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The outing comes three weeks after the model, 26, and actor, 32, announced that they had broken up in a joint statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
A source tells PEOPLE that the two left the premiere "side by side" and that "they didn’t look happy but looked together and exited that way."
Representatives for Harvey and Idris did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
The former couple announced their separation after a little over a year of dating. "We are at a point in our lives where our individual paths require our full attention and dedication. We part ways remaining friends with nothing but love and respect for each other and the time we shared together," their joint statement to THR read.
The two were first spotted together during a night out in Los Angeles in December and made their relationship Instagram official in January. That same month, the two were also seen leaving Harvey's birthday bash holding hands.
During their time together, Harvey would often showcase the Swarm actor on Instagram. Multiple of her uploads included moments from their time together, which included attending a Beyoncé concert in May and taking a trip to Saint-Tropez in July.
The former couple would also support each other's career and business ventures. Harvey attended the premiere of the final season of Idris' show Snowfall in February. In August, the two posed for photos at a launch party for Yevrah Swim, Harvey’s swimwear brand sold exclusively at Revolve.
In September, Harvey shared a sweet tribute to Idris in her Instagram Story post in honor of his birthday. The post included a photo of Idris smiling as he posed in front of two chrome helium balloons. The entrepreneur wrote on top of the photo, "Happyyyy Birthdayyyy twinnn!!!! I love youuuu."
Diddy Steps Away From His Media Company and Charter School
Following accusations of sexual assault from three different women, multiple organizations are distancing themselves from Sean “Diddy” Combs. It was announced on Tuesday that Combs would be temporarily stepping down as chairman of Revolt, the media company he founded in 2013. A statement posted to Revolt’s Instagram confirmed the news.
“While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business,” it read, “this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.”
Capital Prep Harlem, a charter school opened by Combs in 2016, has also announced that it will be parting ways with the rapper. The school released a statement from Dr. Steve Perry, the founder of Capital Preparatory Schools.
“Following a comprehensive evaluation, a decision has been made to end the partnership between Capital Preparatory Schools and Sean Combs,” the statement read. “While this decision was not made lightly, we firmly believe it is in the best interest of our organization’s health and future.”
Earlier this month, Combs was sued by former girlfriend Cassie (real name Cassandra Ventura). She claimed that the hip-hop mogul was physically and sexually abusive to her and that he would provide her with “copious amounts of drugs.” Combs settled the case the day after she filed.
A week later, two more women came forward to accuse Combs of sexual assault in lawsuits of their own. The first woman, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, alleges that Combs and singer Aaron Hall raped her and her friend at Hall’s apartment in the early ’90s. A few days later, her filing states, Combs showed up to her home and choked her until she passed out.
The second woman, Joi Dickerson-Neal, alleges that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her while she was a student at Syracuse University in 1991. Dickerson-Neal says that she “reluctantly” went on a date with Combs, during which he “intentionally drugged” her before taking her “to a place he was staying to sexually assault her.”
All three cases fell under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which allowed victims of sexual assault one year to sue their alleged abusers, even in cases where the statute of limitations had run out. In a statement to Variety, a spokesperson for Combs claimed that Dickerson-Neal was a “scammer” exploiting the Adult Survivors Act in a “money grab.” He similarly denied Doe’s allegations, writing off the contents of the suits as “fabricated.”
In a statement to NBC, Dickerson-Neal said, “For 32 years, the only people I have been able to confide in were my close friends and therapists. I’m feeling as if the darkness has been lifted and I can freely move forward in achieving my full potential.”

Max says “Looney Tunes” removal was 'error' and shows 'will continue streaming' after fan backlash
Kindly lower your pitchforks, Bugs Bunny fans: Looney Tunes isn’t going anywhere.
On Monday, Max inspired a fan outcry across social media after announcing that the already reduced library of classic Looney Tunes shorts would be leaving the service entirely in December. The monthly list of titles exiting the service included not only the iconic Looney Tunes shorts from the legendary studio’s history, but The Looney Tunes Show, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
Hours later, the Warner Bros-Discovery platform issued a statement saying this was an accident. A revised version of the list includes the following statement: "Looney Tunes was included in error as a title leaving the platform. This is not the case and the show will continue streaming on Max."
Per the revised list, the only Looney Tunes property leaving Max will be the 2003 film, Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
Bugs Bunny and friends haven’t had the easiest time, as of late. Last year, Max removed over 250 episodes of the Looney Tunes shorts, leaving only the first 15 of 31 seasons.
The thought of the remaining cartoons leaving was especially frustrating in the eyes of fans following the news that Warner Bros scrapped the completed movie Coyote vs. Acme as a tax write-off. The film was set to follow in the footsteps of Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, two titles which were abruptly pulled from WB's release schedule last year for the tax benefit.
While it has since been announced that director Dave Green will be allowed to shop the hybrid live-action/animated movie to other potential distributors for a theatrical or streaming release, the initial announcement was heavily criticized. According to The Hollywood Reporter, several filmmakers canceled upcoming meetings with Warner Bros. after the news broke.
Between the write-off cancellations and various shows being pulled from the platform, the streamer has garnered a reputation for disappearing titles — which is why Looney Tunes fans were quick to voice their anger when it seemed the studio was dropping the anvil on their own iconic cartoons.
Chaka Khan Reveals She Regrets “Nothing” From Her Past: “It Was Part Of My Life Experience”
Chaka Khan opens up about her musical journey and past drug addiction. As the renowned vocalist was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, she engaged in a conversation with CBS News, reflecting on her close relationship with Prince, her past battles with addiction, and the resurgence of her music. Khan rose to fame in 1984 as the “I Feel For You” track, a song written by Prince featuring the rapper Melle Mel, quickly climbed the charts. However, it seems that not everyone shared the same enthusiasm for its iconic intro, including Chaka Khan herself.
“I was embarrassed,” she said. “I didn’t like anybody saying my name over, I said, ‘I gotta live with this.'”
By the 1980s, Khan had become a widely recognized figure, and her close bond with Prince continued to flourish. Their collaboration extended to 1998 when he played a pivotal role in co-writing and producing her “Come 2 My House” album.
“We both read the same stuff, and we talked a lot of philosophy. And then we decided we wanted to work together,” Khan added. “We did that whole CD in two weeks’ time. I’d give him the lyrics. And he’d come back the next night to the track. Unbelievable.”
In 2016, Prince tragically passed away due to an accidental drug overdose. When asked if whether she was aware of Prince’s struggles toward the end of his life, Khan said she had “no clue.”
“No, I did not. I knew that he had some breaks – his hip, and his ankles, and all that stuff,” she added. “But, I mean, you know, at one point in my life I was an avid druggie myself. You’d think I could recognize that. But I just didn’t. He was a very giving, loving, open, yet private person. And I just had no clue.”
Khan endured a lengthy battle with drug addiction that spanned several decades. In her 2003 memoir titled “Chaka! Through the Fire,” she candidly revealed, “Whenever I started feeling stuff that I didn’t want to feel, I got high.”
“That was one of the reasons I got high,” Khan said. “I enjoyed it as well, at some point, to some extent. You know, it was part of my life experience.”
When questioned about any regrets from her past, Khan promptly dismissed the idea, indicating that she holds no regrets.
Nevertheless, Khan’s songs continue to inspire and resonate with a fresh generation of listeners and artists. In 2002, following a car accident, Kanye West creatively sampled a sped-up rendition of Chaka Khan’s track “Through the Fire” for his own song titled “Through the Wire.”
“That was a very meaningful song,” she continued. “He called me, and he still had his mouth wired. And after he told me about the horrific accident and all that, I said, ‘Well, of course. I’d be happy to be a part of that.'”
