#FASHIONFILES: A$AP Nast Brings NY Energy To Y-3’s Fall 2024 Campaign!
Y-3’s latest campaign is a gritty, black-and-white love letter to New York City. The fashion brand’s fall-winter 2024 advertisement, with A$AP Nast at its helm, pays tribute to the city’s enduring appeal.
Photographed by Max Vadukul, “A Love Letter to New York” captures the city’s kinetic energy. The images are a keen reflection of balance, blending uniformity, scale, and movement.
Vadukul notes, “Shooting for Y-3 in New York felt like returning home. The city’s architectural grandeur and diverse people continue to inspire my black-and-white photography.”
A$AP Nast, a Harlem native, takes center stage in the campaign. In a short video for the season, he shoots close to his childhood home, exuding confidence and style. “I don’t really believe in fashion mistakes,” he declares. “You make a choice, own it, it’s yours.”
#RHOA: The Cookie Lady’ from RHOA Announces Her Shop Has Closed Down: ‘I’ve Got Other Places To Go In Life’
Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s infamous “Cookie Lady” has closed her shop.
Over the weekend, the businesswoman, whose real name is Shiana White, announced that she was closing the doors to her Atlanta bakery A Haute Cookie.
Faithful fans of RHOA may remember Shiana’s bombshell appearance during Season 12 of the hit Bravo reality series. She was introduced to the cast by Kenya Moore and her cookie shop was next door to Cynthia Bailey’s Bailey Wine Cellar. But she didn’t just come on as the average friend of the show. During one of her handful of appearances (with a box of her popular cookies in tow), she confronted Tanya Sam and revealed that Tany Sam’s longtime partner Paul Judge was trying to talk to and flirt with her when she saw him at a club one night. The ordeal turned into a dramatic storyline for Tanya Sam and led to a major fallout between her and Kenya Moore.
In an Instagram video, Shiana revealed,
“I would like to let everyone know that as of today A Haute Cookie is officially closed here in Atlanta. We will not be able to order…putting everything on pause and discontinuing for now. Atlanta has played its course.”
She continued by thanking fans and customers for their support, adding that she’s ready to “move on.”
“I’ve got other places to go in life. I appreciate this journey, it’s been so beautiful.”
In 2020, Shiana spoke with theaJasmineBRAND and said she believed editing was a factor in how she was portrayed on RHOA.
“I know myself and who I am at the beginning and end of the day. I also know what it takes to make a successful reality show and they have to edit to bring the drama and keep ratings.”
She later said in part that she hoped she and Tanya Sam could settle their issues.
“I would like to… My intentions were not to hurt her.”

#HipHopNews: C-Murder's Latest Appeal has been DENIED by the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
The 5th Circuit of Appeals delivered a setback for rap star C-Murder after judges denied has latest attempt to overturn his conviction.
In a recent development in the legal saga of Corey Miller, also known as C-Murder, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has denied his most recent attempt to appeal his second-degree murder conviction.
The charge has been a focal point of legal battles and appeals for years. The legal saga is related to a club shooting in 2002 when 16-year-old Steve Thomas was shot and killed inside a Harvey, Lousiana nightclub.
C-Murder has vehemently maintained his innocence throughout two trials and subsequent appeals, claiming that he was wrongly convicted.
One key aspect of his appeal was the assertion that he was innocent of the crime he was convicted of in 2009.
Additionally, C-Murder argued that his due process rights were violated during the trial, pointing to issues such as a juror allegedly voting to convict to expedite jury deliberations.
Another significant part of the appeal focused on the prosecution’s alleged failure to disclose exculpatory evidence and the use of false testimony without a proper evidentiary hearing.
He also relied on the recantations of two key witnesses, Darnell Jordan and Kenneth Jordan, to be “suspect and not reliable” due to contradictions and falsities in their affidavits.
C-Murder filed his most recent appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on November 14, 2023, following the denial of his habeas corpus petition by U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance.
Unfortunately for C-Murder, a trio of Circuit Judges with the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge Vance’s 2023 ruling.
Despite his efforts to secure a Certificate of Appealability (COA) by demonstrating a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right, the court found his arguments insufficient to meet this standard.
“To satisfy this standard, the petitioner must demonstrate ‘that jurists of reason could disagree with the district court’s resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues presented are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further.’ Miller has not made such a showing. Accordingly, his motion for a COA is DENIED,” the judges ruled.
The rap star’s legal battle, marked by multiple appeals and challenges, has reached a significant juncture with the denial of his recent appeal.
C-Murder had the powerful backing of aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian, who helped secure the freedom of Alice Marie Johnson in 2020.
In August of 2023, Kim Kardashian revealed she was “working” on his case because she believed he was innocent.
“Corey Miller deserves a day in court to test the veracity of the recanted statements and to prove that he did not shoot Steve Thomas,” Kim Kardashian said.

Virginia Man Arrested & Charged For Making Violent Threats Online Against Kamala Harris Amid her Presidential Campaign Launch
A Virginia man is facing jail time after making violent threats towards Vice President Kamala Harris on social media.
According to reports, Frank Carillo, 66, was recently charged in federal court with “threats against the Vice President of the United States” after posting a series of concerning messages against Kamala Harris, 59, on the conservative social media site GETTR.
Per the federal complaint, Frank Carillo posted roughly 4,359 messages in total that targeted other elected U.S. officials as well, including President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, with 19 directed at Kamala Harris.
One message stated,“Harris is going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way.”
Frank Carillo was reportedly arrested on Friday, Aug. 2. During a search of his Winchester, Virginia, residence, FBI agents seized an AR15-style rifle, a handgun, and thousands of rounds of ammunition. According to the affidavit, he admitted to posting the alarming messages online.
Court records reveal that the messages threatening Harris began six days after Joe Biden dropped out of the election and endorsed Harris, kicking off her presidential campaign.
The threats from Carillo come after last month’s assassination attempt on GOP nominee and former president Donald Trump, 78. As previously reported, now-deceased gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, fired shots at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. Secret Service protection swiftly jumped onstage to protect him from the chaos. Just before getting rushed off the stage with blood coming from his ear, Trump emerged from the podium with his fist in the air and yelled “Fight!” He was deemed “fine” after a medical evaluation.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot and killed by a Secret Service agent on site. One rally attendee, Corey Comperatore, was fatally shot, and two others were critically injured.

Jon B Alludes To Taking Legal Action Over Claims Gunna & Chloe Bailey Didn’t Get Permission To Sample His Track ‘They Don’t Know’
R&B singer Jon B could be taking legal action against artists Gunna and Chloe Bailey after claiming they sampled his record without permission.
During a new interview on the Can We Talk R&B podcast, Jon B, whose real name is Jonathan Buck, spoke about his 1997 hit track “They Don’t Know,” which he said is often sampled.
While discussing the record, the 49-year-old singer referred to a sample done by Gunna, 31, and Chloe Bailey, 26, for their 2022 rendition titled “You & Me.” The song is featured on Gunna’s third studio album, DS4Ever.
Immediately slamming the record they put out, Jon B shared his distaste for the collaboration. He said,
“They [Gunna and Chloe Bailey] put that ratchet record out that I couldn’t stand, and I wish they never did.”
Jon then alleged that the duo never received authorization to use the song.
“Actually never got my rights to do that record either. Gunna, we got to holler about that. That’s some business sh*t we got to handle.”
Although he considered the sample as a compliment, Jon furthered,
“My lane is my lane and my area is my area. And I earned that. Just like if you made a hit in your area, your song, or whatever it is. I’m not going to just come into your area, take your joint, and make it mine and not pay you or whatever.”

Jennifer Lopez Is 'Upset' and 'Angry' With Ben Affleck Amid Divorce, Insider Says 'He Humiliated Her'
While Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce rumours first surfaced online in May this year, it was recently reported that they have also signed the divorce papers.
As Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce continue to make headlines, it has now been reported that the former is “upset" and “angry" with the ‘Deep Water’ actor. If a new report by Page Six is to be believed, JLo is angry with Affleck since he was the one who rekindled their romance. Jennifer and Ben dated from 2002 to 2004. However, they retunited in 2021 Lopez’s divorce with Alex Rodrigues. The two Hollywood stars then got married in 2022.
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life," a source cited by the entertainment portal claimed. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids," the insider added
The report further claimed that JLo is also upset because “there are five kids involved" in their divorce. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over," the source said.

Cori Bush becomes second ‘Squad’ member ousted in Democratic primary
Cori Bush, a leftwing representative from Missouri, has become the second member of the Democratic party’s progressive “Squad” to be ousted by a mainstream primary challenger this year. Bush, a two-term representative and Black Lives Matter activist who stormed into Congress at the height of the country’s social justice upheaval, was defeated in the party primary on Tuesday by Wesley Bell, a local prosecutor. Bell’s campaign benefited from millions of dollars of support from the conservative pro-Israel lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The margin was 51.2 per cent per cent to 45.6 per cent with more than 95 per cent of votes counted, according to the Associated Press. Her defeat came about a month after New York’s Jamaal Bowman became the first member of the Squad to fall in a Democratic primary. Bowman was defeated by George Latimer, a local county executive, in what was the most expensive primary in the party’s history. Both races showcased the fracture in the party between its establishment and a clique of younger progressives, led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who entered Congress in recent years fired by concerns about racial and social justice. Those divisions were also on display in the jockeying that preceded vice-president Kamala Harris’s selection of Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday.
As with Bowman’s race, Israel and the war in Gaza served as a trigger that prompted AIPAC-affiliated groups to deploy about $8mn in the primary against Bush, who alienated many American Jews by refusing to label Hamas a terrorist group after its October 7 attack on Israel. The Aipac-funded advertising barrage steered clear of Washington’s Middle East policy, and instead accused Bush of placing ideology above the concerns of her local constituents. Both she and Bowman voted against President Joe Biden’s signature infrastructure package, protesting against the exclusion of many social initiatives that had been shorn from the final bill. Bush has also attracted scrutiny over a federal investigation into her use of campaign funds. Bush’s defeat will further embolden those in the Democratic party keen to stamp out a leftwing faction whose ranks tend to be far more critical of Israel.
The next showdown will come in a week, when Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota representative who is one of the Squad’s most prominent figures, faces her own primary challenge. Bush, a nurse and pastor, rose to prominence during the 2014 uprisings in Ferguson, Missouri, that were sparked by the police shooting of Michael Brown, a Black teenager. She beat a 10-term Democratic incumbent on her second try, in 2020, in an election that was held just three months after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which touched off a national reckoning about race and justice. Missouri’s first district includes St Louis and its surroundings, including Ferguson. She was re-elected in the 2022 midterm by a strong margin. Bell, who is also Black, is the chief prosecutor for St Louis County. He also defeated a longtime white incumbent when he won office in 2018.

Celine Dion Is ‘Working on Plans for Her Next Performance’ After Triumphant Return at Paris Olympics
Céline Dion lit up the 2024 Olympics with an emotional stage return at the games' opening ceremony in Paris, and now sources exclusively tell In Touch the singer is planning to keep performing for many years to come.
On July 26, the "All by Myself" songstress, 56, delivered her first performance after revealing her stiff person syndrome (SPS) diagnosis and stepping out of the spotlight in 2022. With an iconic rendition of Édith Piaf's "Hymne A L'Amour," Céline was moved to tears under the sparkling Eiffel Tower.
"Céline is over the moon with how well things went in Paris, it was the ultimate comeback and something that she worked so hard for," says a source. "It was incredibly emotional and a huge triumph for her because although she never stopped believing that she'd return to the stage, pretty much everyone in her life, doctors included, told her it was going to be next to impossible."
Céline first revealed she was diagnosed with SPS when explaining she was forced to cancel several North American and European tour dates in a December 2022 Instagram video.
The condition is a rare and progressive neurological disorder that causes rigid muscles and painful spasms, and Céline explained to her fans that her health struggle makes it difficult for her to sing.
According to In Touch's source, Céline "feels triumphant" at proving the naysayers wrong, and she "believes it was a true miracle" that she was able to take the stage once again for a momentous performance in Paris.
"She's determined to keep proving everyone wrong by performing again," the insider insists. "That doesn't mean she's out of the woods or over this horrible disease, there's still a long road ahead. She will need to keep fighting every day towards her healing, but she's not giving up and intends to keep fighting and setting a positive example for her fans and for anyone battling this disease."
Though the Grammy Award winner has had a rough few years — which she bravely documented for fans in the revealing 2024 documentary I Am: Celine Dion — the source says her love for family is part of what gets her through the day and keeps her going. Céline and her late husband, René Angélil, share three sons: René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13. Her husband died in 2016 from throat cancer.
"She feels her late husband René's spirit shining through her in all of this and says singing is the gift God gave to her, and she intends to keep doing it, no matter what," says the source. "She's working on plans for her next performance."
Adds the insider, "The success of this has only made her even more hungry to perform again."
When Céline revealed her diagnosis in late 2022, she confessed to her fans, "All I know is singing. It's what I've done all my life and it's what I love to do the most. I miss you so much. I miss seeing all of you, being on the stage performing for you. I always give a hundred percent."
Nick Cannon Confirms He “Absolutely” Would Get Back With Mariah Carey
For Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey will always be his baby.Though it’s been eight years since the pair finalized their divorce, Nick still hopes that he and Mariah—with whom he shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan "Roc" Cannon and Monroe "Roe" Cannon—might find their way back to each other.
“We belong together,” Nick joked to E! News in an interview alongside his We Playin’ Spades cohost Courtney Bee, adding on whether he’d get back with his ex, “Yes, absolutely. Be stupid if I wouldn’t.” (For more with Nick and Courtney, tune into E! News tonight, August 6 at 11 p.m.)
But on what’s holding the pair back—especially since Mariah split with boyfriend Brian Tanaka in December—Nick quipped, “She don’t want me.”
To which his cohost Courtney joked, “Yeah, you done left and had like 10 kids.”
And Nick—who in fact does share ten additional children with various partners—took the joke in stride. “A whole baseball team,” the 43-year-old agreed. “Like, ‘No, you can't come back home.’
Jokes about tension in his blended family, however, don’t sting. After all, Nick explained that the mothers of his children—Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole and Alyssa Scott in addition to Mariah—get along “amazing.”
“But that's the thing, I don't expect them to,” the Masked Singer host added. “I think that's the thing that people might always think that it would be that. But it's like everybody lives their own life, before me and after me.”
He continued, “So I think that's how you keep the peace and everybody moving, like everybody worried about themselves and not worried about what someone else is. As long as the kids are happy and they have the strongest understanding, I think that's what makes sense. You gotta operate out of that.”
But with his and Mariah’s twins already in their teen years, Nick took a moment to lament the approaching end of their coparenting days.
“We gonna be done soon,” he reflected. “We got teenagers now. I'm about to shed a tear. It's happening too fast.”

Justin Simien Seeks Reconciliation with Tyler Perry
*Having an “Oop! I shouldn’t have said that moment,” director/writer Justin Simien has addressed his prior criticisms of Tyler Perry and the fallout that ensued, sharing his insights into the broader challenges faced by Black creators in Hollywood.
Tyler Perry, aged 54, recently recounted his tense exchange with Simien, 41, during an episode of the “Baby, This is Keke Palmer” podcast uploaded last week. Perry laughed as he recalled the incident, saying:
“I called that n***a and told him I was gonna beat his ass,” at the 42:12 mark of the episode. Despite his threat, Perry showed a measured understanding, stating, “When I think about somebody like him or somebody who has something to say, I’m like ‘Great, you have your opinion.’ I live from this seat, tempered, measured, patient, prayerful, and disciplined.” Perry expressed his disappointment, adding, “So when I saw that, I was sad for him because I think he’s really, really talented.”
In a recent TikTok video shared on Tuesday, Simien, the creator of “Dear White People,” expressed a desire to mend fences with Perry. He admitted he might be the “highbrow negro” archetype Perry referenced in Palmer’s podcast. Simien acknowledged the industry’s barriers for Black creators, saying, “Whenever I would take my weird script to studios or financiers, they were like, ‘This isn’t like Tyler Perry; we don’t know how to sell this.’ And I took that to mean that Tyler and I were at odds and I was railing against what I perceived to be the status quo.”
Reflecting on his past criticisms, Simien voiced regret, especially about a scene in “Dear White People” where the characters denounce films like those made by Perry for perpetuating stereotypes about Black people. “I was an outsider then …, and I was falling for the ‘okey-doke,’” said Simien of the phone call he had with Perry in 2017.
He also acknowledged Perry’s significant achievements, noting that Perry was the first Black man to own a major film studio.
“Once I was inside the ring, I realized if you’re a person of color, if you’re a marginalized person making work about your own experience, the most sort of loud and egregious negative commentary that you’re probably going to get is going to come from your own community,” Simien reflected.
Simien shared a pivotal realization about his own journey and criticism: “I was going around the road and suddenly, with ‘Dear White People,’ which itself was trying to rail against the system, people were telling me to my face that I was not Black enough, I was not gay enough, my movie was not radical enough. And I thought, ‘Oh no, this is what I did to Tyler. This is what I did to Tyler.’”
Simien confirmed that Perry did threaten, “Am I gonna have to come over and beat your ass?” but added that he was able to apologize for “tearing you down for a system that you actually did not create.”
He underscored Perry’s trailblazing contributions to the industry.
“It takes a lot of stress and a lot of energy to maintain that level of defense against all of these people,” Simien observed further into his TikTok video. He concluded by addressing Perry directly: “I just want Tyler Perry to know he does not have to do that with me, for whatever it’s worth—and it may not be worth much to him, but it is nothing but love from me to you, brother. And that’s all I have to really say about it.”
The exchange between Simien and Perry serves as a testament to the complex and often internalized struggles faced by Black creators in Hollywood, highlighting the importance of unity and understanding within the community.

The Olympics Men’s Basketball Semi-Finals Are Set
Tuesday was full of amazing comebacks in the Olympic men’s basketball quarterfinals. The only game not in question was Team USA‘s dominant win over Brazil, ending with a score of 122-87. The Americans came out strong against a feisty Brazil team, with shooting guard Devin Booker having his best game in the Olympics. Their spacing gave Brazil fits, as there was too much talent to face off in one play, and the best players in the world often score.
Kevin Durant made history today when he took over Lisa Leslie’s all-time scoring record for Team USA, cementing himself in a position unlike many of his competitors. He spoke briefly after the game about breaking Leslie’s record with an answer only Durant would give: “Records are meant to be broken, so somebody will come along and do the same. We’re just focused on trying to win this gold.”
Serbia and the United States are set to face each other after Serbia’s gutsy come-from-behind win in overtime against Australia. Nikola Jokic led the way with 21 points and 14 rebounds, while Bogdan Bogdanovic added 17 points. Guard Patty Mills left it all on the court with 20 points in the second half, finishing with 26 points and a miraculous shot over Jokic to send the game to overtime. Despite his efforts, it was not enough. Serbia is vying for their first Olympic medal since 2016 in Brazil. It will be an exciting matchup for the Americans, seeing this team for the third time.
We can’t finish this story without mentioning France’s dominant win over Canada today, winning 82-73. France got off to a good start, taking a 21-6 lead late in the first quarter. Victor Wembanyama had an impactful game, not through the box score, but by being an effective player without the ball in his hands on both sides of the court. Detroit Pistons guard Evan Fournier, a journeyman for this France team, finished with 25 points, including a three-pointer with the shot clock ticking down to deflate Team Canada.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for Team Canada, bringing his team as close as five points, but he could not get over the hump. He finished with 27 points and missed key free throws in the second half that would keep an 87% free throw shooter up at night. Germany and France will face off once again after Germany defeated Greece 76-63 tod
Two high-level rematches will determine the Gold Medal game for the week, and they should bring a ton of highlights.
