#RHOA: Kim Zolciak Reacts to Kenya Moore's 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Exit and If She'd Return
Kim Zolciak opens up to ET about Kenya Moore leaving 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' and if she'd return to the reality show.
Kim Zolciak thinks Kenya Moore leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta is for the best.
Zolciak recently spoke with ET’s Brice Sander about her upcoming show, Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, and shared her thoughts on Moore's departure from RHOA and addressed whether she would consider returning to the Bravo show.
"Somebody actually updated me from the Housewives franchise on the situation with Kenya, and you know I've always thought people can, you know, get angry, say stuff, and be mean, but like when your character's so flawed, I feel like Kenya's character is so flawed that I think it's a great decision to have her off the show," Zolciak remarked.
Last month, ET confirmed that the 53-year-old reality TV star will not be returning for season 16 following her suspension by Bravo in early June. Moore was sidelined at the time for alleged drama involving RHOA newcomer Brittany Eady.
In response, a source told ET that she decided to part ways with the franchise, despite previously expressing interest in returning, declaring that she would not be "going anywhere" and receiving support from her longtime castmates and friends.
"Kenya is not returning to RHOA this season. She decided it was best for herself to leave after how she felt the incident was handled and how she was treated," a source shared with ET.
Zolciak went on to discuss the possibility of her own return to RHOA, making it clear that it would take a significant offer for her to consider rejoining the cast. "I think what she did was the lowest of the low of the low, and they don't have enough money to ever bring me back on that show because my sanity and my peace are worth way more," she stated firmly.
However, Zolciak hinted that there might be a slim chance of her return, especially with recent cast changes. "Unless the whole cast, well, now that Kenya's gone, I shouldn't say it like that, but you know, I heard Phaedra [Parks] might be making her way back, and that would be an awesome choice. I might have to consider it with Phaedra because she's so funny and all I do is laugh when I'm around her," she added. Despite this, Zolciak concluded that her return is highly unlikely, saying, "It would just be something I'd have to give some serious thought to, and I'm like 99 percent sure that's a big no."
In a trailer for MTV's Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets, Zolciak and Chet Hanks appear to get close.
"Kim is a MILF," Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's 33-year-old son tells the cameras, as footage plays of a shirtless Hanks climbing into bed with the 46-year-old Real Housewives of Atlanta alum.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Hanks jokingly says his family "disowned" him for joining the show, before more seriously admitting, "I actually grew up feeling completely worthless."
Meanwhile, Zolciak gets candid about the state of her marriage to Kroy Biermann, telling her co-stars, "Kroy does not want me here. When I go home, I'm gonna get divorced."
Indeed, Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, who tied the knot in 2011, are in the midst of a contentious split as they deal with financial problems.

#MusicNews: Evelyn Thomas, “High Energy” Disco Singer, Dead At 70
Evelyn Thomas, the singer who elevated the disco subgenre of hi-NRG, has died at age 70. Thomas’ longtime collaborator, Ian Levine, shared the news on Sunday (July 21) in a lengthy Facebook post. The producer shared a bit about their history together, recalling how he met the star and the woman whom he described as his “protegé.”
Levine revealed that he and another writer had managed to pen one more song for Evelyn Thomas to sing called “Inspirational,” but her “health deteriorated far too fast” for her to sing. As an ode to Thomas, Levin stated that the singer’s daughter, Kimberly, who is an artist named YaYaDiamond, would record the song in her honor. “It is hard for me to accept that my lifelong protege really has left us,” Levine typed. “Her music will outlive us all.”
Ian Levine did not disclose a cause of death.

#HipHopNews: Drake Links Up With 50 Cent In Toronto
While many rappers are currently having issues keeping their Canadian performances on the calendar, 50 Cent seemingly had a smooth experience on Saturday night (July 20).
While videos of frequent Drake collaborator Boi-1da hanging out with the acclaimed rapper and actor initially surfaced, more videos later showed the “6 God” chilling with 50. Drake even posted a picture of him and the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ emcee to his Instagram Story.
This is the first public connection between the two since Drake released “Push Ups,” his first viral diss track in a slowing but ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. Featuring a DJ Whoo Kid drop at the song’s beginning, the Canadian superstar channeled his inner Curtis Jackson for the scathing track.
He even name-dropped the Power Universe creator in the track. “N**gas really got me out here talkin’ like I’m 50, ayy / N**gas really got me out here rappin’ what I’m livin’ / I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I’m Ricky / Can’t believe he jumpin’ in, this nigga turnin’ fifty,” he ribs on the track.
Interestingly enough, this poke at Rick Ross happened before the infamous scuffle at the Miami rapper’s live show in Vancouver on June 30, where Ross’ DJ was bold enough to press play on “Not Like Us” as he walked off the stage. Shortly after, Ross and his crew were confronted by multiple people and ultimately caught a quick punch as they dispersed. After the altercation, Drake liked a social media post about the situation.
ScHoolboy Q has also highlighted recent issues with shows being canceled in Canada. He was slated to perform in Toronto on Thursday (July 18). “They just canceled my show in Toronto,” the TDE rapper announced on Twitter, venting his frustrations.
He went on to explain how it seemed unwarranted, seeing as how PARTYNEXTDOOR was allowed to perform in Los Angeles and Top Dawg was just with Lil Wayne and Birdman at YouTube’s celebration of Cash Money Records during BET Awards Week.
While Drake has yet to publicly comment on the matter, fans on social media quickly learned that the “God’s Plan” rapper has business ties with the venue, which ended up canceling the show.

#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Twisters’ whips up $80.5 million at the box office
Moviegoers ran toward the tornadoes this weekend, propelling “ Twisters ” to a blockbuster opening. The standalone sequel to the 1996 hit made $80.5 million in ticket sales from 4,151 theaters in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That’s about $30 million more than analysts expected initially, and makes for the biggest opening of a live-action movie yet this summer.
“We had big aspirations for it to begin with, and it certainly exceeded those,” said Jim Orr, who heads distribution for Universal. “We’re seriously over-indexing between coasts which is fun to see as well.”
Its overperformance recalled “ Oppenheimer’s ” debut last year on the same weekend. There are some similiarities: The studio, Universal, and the numbers. But there are also important differences: “Oppenheimer” was 3-hours long, R-rated (“Twisters” is PG-13) and historical, not to mention the collective enthusiasm around its release date companion, “Barbie.”
“ Twisters,” meanwhile, is a franchise. It may not be a direct sequel to “Twister” but it is benefiting from the brand recognition. The original Jan de Bont-directed film starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton was a financial hit at the time and has only become more beloved over the years. This film, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, does not include any of the characters from the original and introduces a new crowd of storm chasers.
The Universal, Warner Bros. and Amblin production cost $155 million to produce and millions more to promote. Part of the push included a country music heavy soundtrack, with a new Luke Combs single “Aint No Love in Oklahoma” which has racked up more than 56 million audio streams. The soundtrack as a whole, featuring the likes of Bailey Zimmerman, Tucker Wetmore, Tanner Adell, Lainey Wilson, Tyler Childers, Thomas Rhett and Miranda Lambert, has over 75 million streams.
Universal also had the No. 2 movie in the country with “Despicable Me 4,” now in its third weekend. It added $23.8 million from North America, where it is still playing in over 4,000 theaters, bringing its domestic total to $259.5 million.
Third place went to another animated juggernaut: Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2,” now in its sixth weekend, and boasting a global total of $1.4 billion. It is quickly closing in on “Frozen 2” to earn the title of the biggest animated movie of all time.
And another force is storming theaters next weekend in “ Deadpool & Wolverine,” which is tracking to open in the $160 million range. That would be enough to unseat “Inside Out 2” for the biggest opening of the year. How it will affect “Twisters” in its second weekend is a big unknown. O’Leary said he believes it’s a plus having compelling movies going head to head.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

Donations Flood in for Kamala Harris as ActBlue Says It Raised Nearly $100M in Record Time
The shock news that Joe Biden would be ending his re-election campaign and backing Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 election has proved to be a shot in the arm for the Democrats, with the move spurring a flood of donations Sunday night.
ActBlue, the Democrat-linked fundraising platform, revealed that by Sunday night, tens of millions had been raised from small donors after Biden tweeted his statement that he was stepping down.
“As of today grassroots supporters have raised $100.00 million through ActBlue following Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign launch,” the ActBlue official X (formerly Twitter) account tweeted. “This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election.”
Sunday it topped $50 million with the New York Times reporting that milestone was crossed, making Sunday the single biggest day for online Democratic contributions since the 2020 election. Additionally, ActBlue crossed the $14 billion milestone, in total donations raised since it was founded in 2004.
The surge in enthusiasm and donations is in marked contrast to reports that Democrat donors had turned cold on Biden since his disastrous performance in the first presidential debate, and speculation about his future stepped up in the immediate aftermath.

Brandon Casey Of Jagged Edge Reveals Hospitalization For Broken Neck, Ribs, And Skull After Car Crash
Brandon Casey of Jagged Edge has revealed that he’s been hospitalized for a series of injuries following a near-fatal car crash.
Casey shared the unsettling news on July 16, via Instagram, that he’s been recovering at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. He not only showed graphic images of his totaled vehicle, but also gave fans a health update and thanked the trauma center’s staff.
“After being in iCU for five days, I kno the legendary Grady Trauma Center is everything it’s said to Be the Best in the country y’all saved my life and I’m forever grateful,” he wrote. “I’m so Thankful to all u ladies who took care of me who have nursed me fed me encouraged me Thankyou from the bottom of my heart the most sincere Thank u I can conjure up.”
In another post he shared how grateful he is to still be alive after surviving the near-fatal accident where he felt he, “probably should be dead.”
“I kno people wanna kno so here it is,” he initially detailed his damages in the post’s caption. “Broken neck 5 broke ribs skull fracture scalp lacerations and a bunch of pain all over my body but ima be good I promise yall God got me it’s like sumthin tryna take me off this planet and God keep tellin em nope not him not yet.”
He then edited the post to read: “I never post these type pictures upon delivering the news that I been hurt cuz the people who really love me don’t play about me. I don’t wanna add to [their] fright of how I may be doin but ima jus post this jus so u kno neither wreck was a fender Bender. I could be probably should be dead. oh except the Big fact that God does protect his Flock.”
Casey shared a photo of his totaled sports car with its side smashed in.
The 48-year-old was unfortunately in a prior car accident back in September 2023, where another sports car of his was totaled.
“When u kno god got u thru it you gotta say Thanku u gotta feel gratitude not jus speak it,” he wrote at the time. “Thank u Father I kno I wouldn’t b here without ur grace and mercy I’ll prolly never be the same but I’m so grateful I’m here Thank u Jesus !!!!”
We wish Brandon Casey a speedy recovery.

Vivica A. Fox Shows Off Her New Look Weeks After Her Different Appearance at a WNBA Game
As far as fans’ eyes can tell, Vivica A. Fox has rebounded from a recent blunder of a public outing that left many baffled by her appearance.
As previously reported, the “Two Can Play That Game” actress was barraged by unkind comments when several photos and video clips surfaced of her attending a Las Vegas Aces versus Indiana Fever WNBA game in early July.
Critics were outwardly taken aback by the extra curves she seemed to have acquired on her backside and perceived tweaks to her otherwise flawless face.
Comments such as “Vivica is hilarious…. i wish she knew how beautiful she was and she never needed the knife ever” and “She need to trade that bbl in for a new one” are just a sampling of the remarks picking apart the 59-year-old from head to toe.
But in a new post highlighting Fox’s appearance last week at the NAACP “All In” national convention held in Sin City fans couldn’t spot a single imperfection with this time.
The “First Lady of BMF – The Tonesa Welch Story” film director wore a yellow halter top gown with jewel enhancements, peek-a-boo cleavage, and nearly sheer sides that gave onlookers a glimpse at her slim waist. Her hair was styled in a high, wavy ponytail, and her makeup was a natural glam look.
“WOW! You look like a doll, sis!” gushed one commenter. A second person dishing out compliments wrote, “Always FABULOUS. Queen! Keep showing us black don’t crack & we can absolutely look good no matter what.”
A third said, “Yeesss Vivica You look Stunning! Shining! Really love the Gown!”
Someone else gushed that Fox was the epitome of “Black excellence” while wearing the form hugging gown. While several others agreed that the radiant hue against her brown skin was an undeniable combination that would net her rave reviews time and time again.
“You look absolutely gorgeous Keep this color a part of your color palette,” a fan wrote.
A male admirer quipped, “Now I see why these Men be Tight!! They can’t even look you in the Eye.”
Fox has openly spoken about being single and still open to finding love. However, at least one man is not interested in batting an eye in her direction ever again — 50 Cent.
The former couple dated for almost a year after meeting at the 2003 BET Awards. While on stage accepting an award, the New York rapper gave her a special shoutout, saying, “I’m just happy to be present with all of these beautiful people in here … I want to thank Vivica Fox for wearing that dress too.”
When cameras panned to Fox seated in the front row, she seemed pleasantly surprised by the acknowledgment.
Although their romance did not last, she has long considered the “P.I.M.P.” artist the “love of my life,” even sharing that she would be open to giving their relationship a second chance. The “Power” co-creator, however, has been clear in his message about not wanting anything to do with her romantically.
In March, 50 shared a clip of himself famously shooting his shot at Fox. He wrote, “I look back at some of the s—t that I did I gotta learn to shut the f—k up. Look at that look at end that’s trouble.”
When she received flak for her alleged bad BBL, some hecklers said that the drastic transformation to her figure made it official that whatever attracted 50 Cent to her was no longer a factor.
Fox has only ever fessed up to undergoing breast augmentation and botox in a 2008 interview. Since then, she has remained tight-lipped about her evolving appearance.

Jennifer Lopez Enjoys 55th Birthday Lunch With Family And Friends, Ben Affleck Is No-Show Again
Jennifer Lopez, the iconic pop star and actress, celebrated her upcoming 55th birthday with festivities that reflected both her impeccable sense of style and her deep connections with loved ones. The events took place in the Hamptons and notably did not include her husband, Ben Affleck.
On Sunday, July 21, Lopez hosted a pre-birthday lunch at Arthur & Sons, an Italian eatery in Bridgehampton, NY. Accompanied by her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, her sister Lynda, and her longtime manager Benny Medina, Lopez was the picture of glamour in a white Zimmerman floral-print crop top and matching belted shorts. She completed her look with flower-adorned Gucci platform wedges, blue Chloé sunglasses, and a $6,400 floral raffia tote by Dior.
At the lunch, Lopez and her guests enjoyed a sumptuous meal featuring fried calamari, meatballs with ricotta, artichoke alla romano, chicken parm, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, lobster benedict, and others. For dessert, they savored spumoni, limoncello cheesecake, and mini cannoli. During the meal, Lopez got emotional as she shared stories from her past with her loved ones.
Lopez's stylish flair was also on full display the previous day during her "Bridgerton"-themed birthday party. The guests, including Lopez's mother, Guadalupe RodrÃguez, arrived in horse-drawn carriages and donned elaborate ballgowns and tiaras. The romantic, period-inspired atmosphere contrasted sharply with the ongoing rumors about Lopez's rocky marriage to Affleck.
Affleck, who has been spending time in Los Angeles, was notably absent from both the pre-birthday lunch and the Saturday party. This ongoing separation has fueled speculations about their relationship's stability.
Despite celebrating their second wedding anniversary on July 16, the couple has rarely been seen together in recent months. Sources close to the couple have suggested that while there are deeper issues in their relationship, it has nothing to do with Lopez's high-profile celebrity status.
Interestingly, Lopez has stayed close to her stepchildren amidst the marital strain, spending time with Affleck's daughter Violet in Southampton, NY. Reports have indicated that both sets of children have been hopeful for reconciliation, seeing Lopez and Affleck as deeply in love soulmates.
As fans and speculators alike continue to watch Jennifer Lopez's dazzling celebrations, the multi-talented star seems focused on enjoying her milestone birthday surrounded by those closest to her, all while navigating the turbulent tides of her personal life.

Naomi Campbell Shows Off Skills In Doing Headstand In New Photos
On Saturday, July 20. Naomi Campbell flaunted her impressive yoga skills in a series of posts. Donning a gray sports top and leggings, she flawlessly executed intricate yoga poses, including a headstand. Her stunning figure and full face of makeup added to her captivating performance.
Earlier in the month, Campbell enjoyed a girls' holiday in Ibiza with Rodriguez and Gonzalez. She displayed her toned physique in a £244 Melissa Odabash gold bikini, while Rodriguez looked sensational in a white two-piece. Gonzalez opted for a black bikini, showcasing her washboard stomach.
Despite her current confidence, Campbell has previously revealed that she faced teasing over her appearance during her childhood. On “Cambon Podcast", she recalled being called "Olive Oyl" due to her tall and slender frame. However, she found solace in dance, which allowed her to embrace her body and develop her graceful poses.
On their yacht trip, the trio soaked up the Spanish sun. Campbell, Rodriguez, and Gonzalez sipped on drinks, chatted, and went for swims. Film producer Mohammed Al Turki also joined them for the outing.
Campbell has always been an advocate for speaking out against injustice. She expressed her unwavering determination to stand up for herself and others in the face of unfair treatment or discrimination.

'Glee' Star Amber Riley Asks Fans To Stop Begging For Money On DMs
Amber Riley has had enough. Over the weekend, the former star of "Glee" took to her Instagram account to ask her followers to stop sending her DMs for money.
"Stay out my DM's asking me for money," the 38-year-old actress wrote on Instagram Stories. She added, "The flood of begging I've been getting is crazy. Inflation is real and our business is coming off of TWO strikes."
The Mercedes Jones depicter on the popular series went on noting, "I give weekly to families of Gaza and toward relief in Congo because they are really in need, but yall in my DM's asking to give toward your car and tuition. The most you get is thoughts and prayers for now." Concluding her message, Amber wrote, "I hope you find what you need, but it ain't here."
On the other hand, it's been years since "Glee" ended after six seasons. Despite that, Amber previously admitted that the show is a big part of her life. "It's amazing," Amber told E! News on the 2024 CMT Music Awards red carpet back on April 7. "First of all, I gained a family. I gained an education in film, set and music. It's the reason why I love many different genres of music now."
"I have such a wide vocabulary of things that I love and can sing because of the show," the "Single Black Female" actress added. "It was like theater training but times a million."
At the event, Amber served as the presenter. She was also nominated for CMT Performance of the Year for her song "R.E.S.P.E.C.T.", though she failed to take home the award. "I lost, but Jelly Roll won, so I'm happy for that because I love Jelly Roll," so she wrote on Instagram Stories.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Returns to Instagram to Celebrate Daughter Chance’s 18th Birthday: ‘I’m So Proud of You’
A month after embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs deleted all his Instagram posts, the Bad Boy Records founder was back on the platform on Sunday (July 21) with a post celebrating his daughter Chance’s 18th birthday. “My babygirl turned 18 today,” Combs wrote alongside a photo of his daughter in a striped dress posing at sundown on a beach. “I’m so proud of you Chance. I love you. @myfancychance,” he added along with a string of emoji (heart, prayer hands, shooting star, lightning, star).
In a second photo Combs is seen taking a nap with his daughter when she was a grade schooler. Chance, born July 20, 2006, to father of seven Diddy and former girlfriend Sarah Chapman is the rapper’s first-born daughter.
The post is the first one on Diddy’s Instagram page since he scrubbed his whole account in June, including a now-deleted apology to ex longtime girlfriend Cassie after the leak of a disturbing video from 2016 in which Combs was seen repeatedly hitting and kicking the singer in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel.
Combs has been laying low since a lawsuit filed by Cassie in November in which the singer claimed that she endured “over a decade of his violent behavior and disturbed demands,” including Diddy allegedly forcing her to “engage in sex acts with male sex workers.” Less than 24 hours after the suit was reported it was withdrawn after the former couple reach an undisclosed settlement.
He was then hit with a series of lawsuits by other women accusing him of drugging, physically abusing and sexually assaulting them, and, on March 25, was the subject of two raids by Dept. of Homeland Security agents on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami reportedly in connection with an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation; Diddy has vehemently denied all the allegations.
Since Cassie’s suit Diddy’s once-vast business empire has begun to erode, including his decision to step down as chairman of the Revolt digital media company (and later reportedly selling his stake in Revolt TV), nearly two dozen brands breaking ties with Combs’ E-commerce company, Empower Global, and Hulu scrapping a planned Combs family reality show, among other actions.
Among the posts Combs deleted in June was an apology he uploaded in the wake of the hotel assault video’s leak. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” Diddy said in his apology video. “I was f—ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it, I’m disgusted now.”
At press time, the birthday post was the only one on Combs’ account, which has nearly 20 million followers.

Eddie Murphy lets his wife Paige Butcher ‘rule’ in their relationship
Eddie Murphy’s wife Paige Butcher is “calling the shots” in their relationship as the actor doesn’t seem to mind at all.
A source spilled to RadarOnline.com, “Paige is calling the shots and Eddie doesn’t seem to mind at all, he lets her rule... his slogan these days is ‘a happy wife, a happy life,’ which seems to be working for him — even if it’s not exactly the Eddie his friends once knew!”
Earlier this month, Paige and Eddie tied the knot since they started dating in 2018.
The source claimed that Eddie was “hooked” to Paige’s nonsense attitude.
The source told the outlet, “He can be very high-maintenance, and she puts up with it to a point, but she also doesn’t let him skate by without pulling his weight.”
“She even has him help with household chores, which he does with a smile,” remarked an insider.
The source continued, “And she doesn’t let him slink off to hide behind a computer when they’re all clamoring for family time!”
The source revealed that Eddie had “no problem covering all the bills” after massive net worth of $200 million.
“He pays for everything, and he’s happy to. Nobody ever thought they’d see Eddie be a yes-man, but it’s happened!” shared an insider.
The Nutty Professor actor opened up that Eddie and Paige enjoy being couch potatoes and channel surf together every night.
Eddie told the outlet, “We watch all those shows, the singing competitions and that kind of stuff.”
Meanwhile, the source added, “The kids may run amok, but Eddie’s been well trained. He has settled into domestic life quite pleasantly and wouldn’t dream of changing a thing.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Coordinate in Black for Stylish Night Out in New York City
The couple — who are parents to sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 11 months — were spotted having a stylish date night on Saturday, June 20
Becoming mom and dad to two kids hasn't stopped Rihanna and A$AP Rocky from spending a stylish date night together.
On Saturday, July 20, the pair were photographed leaving the Mercer Hotel in New York City, both sporting sleek, all-black outfits.
Rocky, 35, wore an oversized double-breasted suit with a red tie and dark black sunglasses, while the "Diamonds" musician, 36, stepped out in a long-sleeved button-down top and shredded jeans. She also accessorized her look with dark sunglasses — lined with sparkling diamonds — and lots of diamond jewelry.
Earlier this summer, a source spoke exclusively with PEOPLE about how the couple has been enjoying spending time together at public events, as well as at home with their sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 11 months.
"They have always had a solid friendship, and the romance just enhanced that," a music management source said of the pair, noting that "family comes first" for them.
Another source told PEOPLE in May that the "Love on the Brain" singer "is all about motherhood" and "loves" parenting their children.
"She brings the kids on every trip, including work trips. The kids come with her everywhere. She never complains that she's tired," the insider said. "She seems to just love life."
"She and Rakim [Mayers, Rocky's full name] are doing great," the source shared, noting that the rapper is "such a fun dad" to their two boys.

"They're doing a great job raising their kids. He's very supportive of Rihanna too," the insider added, referring to the pair accompanying each other to numerous professional events over the past year — including events for Fenty, Rocky's appearance at Paris Fashion Week and another one of his high-profile fashion events.
"They're both extremely driven and hardworking. He's the same way — you'll never hear him complain," the source continued. "They’re amazing together. Rihanna truly seems the happiest."
The couple has even offered fans a glimpse into their personal life (and their funnier sides) on social media, most notably in a video shared on Rihanna's Instagram last month.
The hilarious clip showed the singer donning big red sunglasses while dancing and rapping along to GloRilla's “TGIF.” As she showed off her playful side, Rocky stood next to her with his hands on his hips — and a jokingly disapproving look on his face.
The rapper then shook his head and walked off while declaring, "I'm too old for this."

Ritz-Carlton Announces Its Massive 794-Foot Luxury Cruise Set To Launch In 2025
The hospitality giant recently announced that they’re set to launch their third luxury cruise named, Luminara. Set to debut in 2025, the Luminara sits at 794 feet and is considered the largest and most impressive ship part of its fleet. As of now, the Ritz-Carlton’s fleet currently includes the 623-foot Evrima, launched in 2022, and the 790-foot Ilma, launched in 2023.
“With Luminara, we are not just adding another superyacht to our fleet; we are expanding the horizons of ultra-luxury travel,” Jim Murren, the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection executive chairman and CEO, said.
The Luminara, derived from the Latin word “light,” the ship features a bright interior that can accommodate up to 452 guests. Similar to its five-star hotels, the Luminara also includes 226 suites with private ocean-view terraces. However, if you’re a person who requires more space, the ship does offer larger suites such as the Residential Suite, that can comfortably accommodate families.
Additionally, the Luminara has made sure it offers ample space for socializing and relaxation with world-class dining, a signature Ritz-Carlton spa, an extensive wine collection, and a marina that gives guests direct access to the ocean.
“Luminara is an invitation to embark on remarkable journeys and discover the world’s most captivating destinations with unparalleled amenities and service,” Murren added.
Nevertheless, the Luminara is expected to embark on its first sail on July 31, 2025, for a round-trip to Rome. To snag a room on either Ritz-Carlton cruise, reservations can be made on the company’s website.

Tennessee Preteen Charged with First-Degree Murder for Suffocating 8-Year-Old Cousin
Tennessee Preteen Charged with First-Degree Murder for Suffocating 8-Year-Old Cousin
A tragic incident unfolded in Humboldt, Tennessee, where a 12-year-old girl has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly suffocating her eight-year-old cousin, Demeria, to death. According to District Attorney General Frederick Agee, the heartbreaking event occurred on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Home security footage obtained by the Humboldt Police Department reportedly shows the preteen using bedding to suffocate her sleeping cousin on the top bunk bed they shared. The video allegedly captures the older girl applying her full body weight to the bedding, covering the younger child’s face, and showing the eight-year-old struggling.
Following the attack, the suspect is seen “cleaning up” and repositioning Demeria’s body, seemingly to make it appear as though she was simply sleeping.
“No words can describe it,” said DA Agee. “It’s unimaginable.”
The tragic discovery was made when Demeria was found unresponsive in her bed at a house on East Mitchell Street. Two days later, a tip led investigators to the surveillance footage that revealed the horrifying details.
A memorial for Demeria has been set up outside her grandmother’s house, featuring balloons in her favorite colors—pink, purple, and pale blue—along with her cherished stuffed animals and bottles of nail polish. Demeria was visiting from Nashville, while her cousin was visiting from South Carolina. Their grandmother told Action News 5 that the two were inseparable.
DA Agee confirmed that the evidence points to first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. “There is video where the 12-year-old goes and gets tissues and papers and tries to clean the eight-year-old’s body and face, and also moves the child to make it appear that she was under the covers,” he explained.
The young suspect is currently being held in Rutherford County, the closest juvenile detention facility to Humboldt. DA Agee plans to ask the judge to transfer her to adult court, considering the severe nature of the crime.
“I consider this to be one of the most disturbing violent acts committed by either an adult or juvenile that my office has prosecuted,” DA Agee stated. He emphasized that under Tennessee law, the juvenile court loses jurisdiction after a juvenile turns 19, meaning the suspect would be free from any further detention, supervision, or court-ordered mental health treatment after that age.
The family and community are grappling with the devastating loss and searching for answers. “We’d ask your viewers to pray for the family and pray for our officers,” DA Agee said. “This is intense. It’s just not something that happens here.”
The suspect is scheduled to appear in court in Trenton on Friday afternoon, where DA Agee will petition for her to be tried as an adult, aiming for a lengthier sentence that includes incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.

Following the attack, the suspect is seen “cleaning up” and repositioning Demeria’s body, seemingly to make it appear as though she was simply sleeping.
“No words can describe it,” said DA Agee. “It’s unimaginable.”
The tragic discovery was made when Demeria was found unresponsive in her bed at a house on East Mitchell Street. Two days later, a tip led investigators to the surveillance footage that revealed the horrifying details.
A memorial for Demeria has been set up outside her grandmother’s house, featuring balloons in her favorite colors—pink, purple, and pale blue—along with her cherished stuffed animals and bottles of nail polish. Demeria was visiting from Nashville, while her cousin was visiting from South Carolina. Their grandmother told Action News 5 that the two were inseparable.
DA Agee confirmed that the evidence points to first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. “There is video where the 12-year-old goes and gets tissues and papers and tries to clean the eight-year-old’s body and face, and also moves the child to make it appear that she was under the covers,” he explained.
The young suspect is currently being held in Rutherford County, the closest juvenile detention facility to Humboldt. DA Agee plans to ask the judge to transfer her to adult court, considering the severe nature of the crime.
“I consider this to be one of the most disturbing violent acts committed by either an adult or juvenile that my office has prosecuted,” DA Agee stated. He emphasized that under Tennessee law, the juvenile court loses jurisdiction after a juvenile turns 19, meaning the suspect would be free from any further detention, supervision, or court-ordered mental health treatment after that age.
The family and community are grappling with the devastating loss and searching for answers. “We’d ask your viewers to pray for the family and pray for our officers,” DA Agee said. “This is intense. It’s just not something that happens here.”
The suspect is scheduled to appear in court in Trenton on Friday afternoon, where DA Agee will petition for her to be tried as an adult, aiming for a lengthier sentence that includes incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.
