#FASHIONFAB: Jodie Turner-Smith in Robert Wun Couture at the 2024 MTV EMAs: HOT or NOT?

#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Plastic Surgeon Weighs In
Real Housewives of Atlanta alum NeNe Leakes is no stranger to plastic surgery, and she’s previously admitted to getting a nose job, a breast lift, a mini Brazilian butt lift and liposuction.
However, NeNe, 56, looked practically unrecognizable in an October 2024 Instagram snap.
“Lately, there have been pronounced differences to her facial features,” Dr. Craig Blum, a double-board-certified plastic surgeon who has not treated NeNe, exclusively tells Life & Style. “Most notably, her nose appears thinner, which serves to open her face and give it a softer, more youthful look.”
Dr. Blum also adds that “she may have had laser procedures beneath the under eyes to tighten loose, crepey skin” and says that NeNe’s “smooth forehead suggests the possibility of ongoing nonsurgical treatments like filler or Botox to maintain a refreshed look.”
In August 2022, the Bravolebrity shared a portion of her plastic surgery journey with fans when she underwent a Brazilian butt lift and liposuction.
“I did it! I got a ‘Professional BBL’ with Dr. Okoro! Follow my surgery journey with Dr. Okoro at Georgia Plastic. I’m almost ready to show off my new snatched look but I want you to be snatched too!” NeNe wrote alongside the video she shared via Instagram on August 17, 2022.
The former reality TV star also discussed her decision to have plastic surgery and said that she wanted to “keep it classy, not trashy.”
“First of all, there are women of a certain age … and women who are much younger … [who] are all doing plastic surgery,” NeNe explained in a separate video. “If you followed me on the Real Housewives of Atlanta many, many, many years ago, I did some surgery — I did my boobs and I did my nose. A lot of people for whatever reason think that I’ve done a lot of stuff. I get all kinds of comments, it’s really hilarious to me. But Dr. Okoro will tell you that I have not and that is the truth.”
NeNe revealed that she wasn’t sure what procedures she wanted to have until she had her consultation but knew that she wanted to “do something” to update her look.
“I wanted to have liposuction,” NeNe continued, adding that she wanted to slim down her “stomach and sides,” along with her “bra roll,” specifically. “You women know what I’m talking about, sometimes when you put your bra on and you want to wear a [backless] shirt and you see a little extra bit of fat that you just don’t think is attractive.”
However, the I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding star was hesitant to get a Brazilian butt lift at first.
“I just feel like the old folks home is going to look crazy with a bunch of giant booties up in here,” NeNe said.
While she admitted that she “liked her ass,” she wanted to “fix [her] problem areas.” Dr. Okoro explained that even the smallest of injections in her posterior would be considered a Brazilian butt lift, and NeNe said that she was like a “professional mini BBL” to help her achieve the desired look.

#MusicNews: Jazz Sax Great Lou Donaldson Dies at age At 98
(AP) Lou Donaldson, a celebrated jazz saxophonist with a warm, fluid style who performed with everyone from Thelonius Monk to George Benson and was sampled by Nas, De La Soul and other hip-hop artists, has died. He was 98.
Donaldson died Saturday, according to a statement on his website. Additional details were not immediately available.
A native of Badin, North Carolina and a World War II veteran, Donaldson was part of the bop scene that emerged after the war and early in his career recorded with Monk, Milt Jackson and others. Donaldson also helped launch the career of Clifford Brown, the gifted trumpeter who was just 25 when he was killed in a 1956 road accident. Donaldson also was on hand for some of pianist Horace Silver’s earliest sessions.
Over more than half a century, he would blend soul, blues and pop and achieve some mainstream recognition with his 1967 cover of one of the biggest hits of the time, “Ode to Billy Joe,” featuring a young Benson on guitar. His notable albums included “Alligator Bogaloo,” “Lou Donaldson at His Best” and “Wailing With Lou.” Donaldson would open his shows with a cool, jazzy jam from 1958, “Blues Walk.”
“That’s my theme song. Gotta good groove, a good groove to it,” he said in a 2013 interview with the National Endowment for the Arts, which named him a Jazz Master. Nine years later, his hometown renamed one of its roads Lou Donaldson Boulevard.

#HipHopNews: Sega Bodega Accuses Lil Nas X Of Copying His Cover Concept For Upcoming Single "Light Again!"
Lil Nas X’s DREAMBOY. rollout is already off to a rough start. On Wednesday (Nov. 13), the rapper shared the artwork for “Light Again!” which hits streaming services on Friday (Nov. 15) at midnight.
However, ahead of its official debut, fans noticed that the cover was awfully similar to that of Sega Bodega’s “Angel On My Shoulder,” released three years prior, in 2021. The wooden walls, old computer and phantom-like person behind the two musicians were just among the few resemblances. The Irish singer himself even quote-tweeted the post, “Not even trying to put a spin on it is where I’m like, ‘Yeesh.’”
Of course, Lil Nas X later addressed the situation on his Instagram Story, where he called Sega Bodega’s version a reference. That, unfortunately, didn’t stop social media from going in, with one person writing, “Stop stealing from smaller artists.” Someone else emphasized, “I’m sure you’re a great guy, but your team is not handling this rollout [too] well.”
Lil Nas X’s original caption for the “Light Again!” cover reveal read, “It just dawned on me how lucky I am to have all of you that still f**k with me [because] I know it isn’t always easy! DREAMBOY. isn’t just an album. It’s me coping with the loss of what once was and fighting for a new world. I'm so excited to bring you on the journey.”
The forthcoming LP will serve as a long-awaited follow-up to 2021’s MONTERO. The 15-song collection contained “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” “THATS WHAT I WANT” and “INDUSTRY BABY” featuring Jack Harlow. Among the additional guest appearances on the project included Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, Megan Thee Stallion and Elton John. It notably notched the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s 200 chart in its first week with 126,000 album-equivalent units.
So far, Lil Nas X hasn’t confirmed if January’s “J CHRIST” will make the final cut, considering all of the controversy that came with its release.

Denzel Washington Reveals ‘Gladiator II’ Scene Where He “Kissed A Man” Was Cut From Film
Denzel Washington is gearing up for the release of his “biggest film” yet, Gladiator II. During a recent press chat, the two-time Oscar-winner shared that his character within the film imparts a “kiss of death” on another man, but the scene was ultimately cut.
“Your character makes a few remarks throughout the film about having a relationship with other men in the film, so I wanted to ask; how gay is the Roman Empire?” questioned Gayety during a chat with the actor, shared to YouTube Oct. 31.
“The entire Empire?” Washington, 70, asks for clarification before adding, “I actually kissed a man in the film but they took it…they cut it. I think they got chicken… I kissed a guy full on the lips. I guess they weren’t ready for that yet.”
“I killed him about five minutes later,” the thespian added. “It’s Gladiator. It’s a kiss of death.”
Gayety added within the video’s description, “The ‘kiss of death’ refers to a symbolic gesture often used to signify betrayal or mark someone for elimination.” Check out the clip below.
Washington provided further insight into his character, Macrinus, during a discussion following a Paramount Studios screening in Los Angeles on Oct. 18.
Of his character, Washington shared, “He’s misunderstood. He’s misunderstood. He’s a nice fellow. He’s a product of his environment. He’s trying to use everybody. He’d use his mother, he’d use his own children; he’s already used up his soul, so he didn’t have any left. He’s in bed with the devil.”
He continued to detail of the extravagant film set, “When you would walk around, you were in Rome, and it seemed like 10,000 extras and horses. It was make-believe, it was play, it was fun; just put the gear on, put the dress on, and go, that’s the way I look at it. I’m putting this dress on, these rings and I’m going crazy!”
Gladiator II also stars Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz and more. The film is due in theaters on Nov. 22, 2024.

Lady Gaga is reportedly set to appear in the second series of ‘Wednesday’
The 38-year-old singer-and-actress has landed a mystery cameo in the star-studded cast, led by Jenna Ortega’s titular character in Netflix’s ‘Addams Family’ spin-off, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s no surprise that Gaga will make an appearance on “Wednesday.”
In 2022, after seeing Jenna’s character do a dance to ‘Goo Goo Muck’ by The Cramps in season one, fans of the show started a viral TikTok trend where they’d perform the moves to a sped-up version of Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary,” from her 2011 album Born This Way.
It proved so popular that the song got a streaming boost and started heading back up the charts.
Gaga, who is referred to as Mother Monster — as her fans are called Little Monsters — even did her own video performing the spooky routine.
At the time, she wrote: “Slay Wednesday!
“You’re welcome at Haus of Gaga anytime (and bring Thing with you, we love paws around here).”
At the Golden Globes last year, Ortega, 22, told reporters of the possibility of Gaga joining the show: “I’m sure Netflix would love that. If Lady Gaga were to be a part, [she and Wednesday] would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star recently revealed they are several episodes into filming the second instalment, but Ortega isn’t sure whether it will feature another dance.
Asked if there will be a follow-up to her viral performance, the actress replied: “Not that I’m aware of … I’m not looking ahead at the schedule, but I fear maybe I’ll see something.”
Meanwhile, Christina Ricci previously heaped praise on Ortega, describing her “Wednesday” co-star as “amazing.”
The 44-year-old actress starred as Wednesday in the “Addams Family” movies in the early 90s, and she’s been impressed by Ortega ever since they started working together on the spin-off.
Ricci, who plays Nevermore Academy teacher Mrs. Marilyn Thornhill, told ELLE: “I loved being Wednesday. I’m very proud of that role. I also think Jenna Ortega is amazing. She is so brave, so cool, and really doing the part justice. Wednesday is her part now … [and] those two things can be true at the same time!”

John Krasinski being named Sexiest Man Alive has sparked protest
People Magazine has unveiled its annual Sexiest Man Alive . . . John Krasinksi.
As has become an annual tradition, people are divided about the pick, and are debating whether the "A Quiet Place" star and director was the right man for the title. After all, this is a year dominated by movie and television stars like Glen Powell, Adam Brody, Paul Mescal or Jonathan Bailey. Krasinski's title follows last year's popular winner, "Grey's Anatomy" veteran Patrick Dempsey.
Even Krasinski, known for his sardonic character Jim from "The Office," told the magazine that when he was named Sexiest Man Alive, he thought he was "being punked."
He continued, “That’s not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.”:
Nevertheless, Krasinski's self-awareness hasn't stopped the internet from expressing their displeasure with the pick. One person posted on X, “John Krasinski is People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2024 . . . Another devastating Tuesday night in November.”
Another person also expressed the same shock, "John Krasinski?????? Our nation's most trying hour and you give us John Krasinski?!?!?!"
Before Krasinski was crowned Sexiest Man Alive, a person online correctly predicted the outcome before the midnight reveal on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." They said, "I’m not staying up for the sexiest man, it’s just that it’s going to happen soon and if it’s John Krasinski and not Glen Powell I’m going to die laughing."

Whoopi Goldberg Claims Staten Island Bakery Refused To Serve Her Over Political Views, Bakery Denies Claims
Whoopi Goldberg had a bittersweet birthday celebration on The View after alleging a Staten Island bakery initially refused her order for birthday treats due to her political views.
During Wednesday’s broadcast, Whoopi Goldberg shared her love for Charlotte Russe—a nostalgic dessert her mother adored—but dropped a surprising claim: “
The place that made these refused to make them for me…perhaps they did not like my politics They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway,” hinting that the rejection might not have been about technical issues.
Holtermann’s Bakery, identified as the business in question, quickly addressed the situation, with owner Jill Holtermann telling EW, “It was not because of political” affiliations but due to boiler troubles. Holtermann explained, “I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now… We have so many things going on with my boiler.’” Despite these issues, she ultimately made about 50 Charlotte Russe treats, which were picked up for the broadcast.

Barack & Michelle Obama’s Former Secret Service Agent Allegedly Fired For Trying To Have Sex w/ Girlfriend On Their Private Property
The alleged ex-girlfriend of Barack and Michelle Obama’s former secret service agent says her ex-boo got the boot after sneaking her onto their private Hawaii property.
According to TMZ, a woman named Koryeah Dwanyen detailed the incident in her tell-all book “Undercover Heartbreak: A Memoir of Trust and Trauma,” which was released in October.
Dwanyen used the pseudonym “Dale” in the novel to refer to her ex, who she says worked for the former president back in 2022.
She alleges that in a move to impress her, Dale invited and toured her around the Obama’s island residence while they were away, at one point asking if she wanted to get intimate in Michelle’s bathroom “like in a mile-high club.”
When she expressed concern, Dwanyen says Dale told her:
“No one will know. If anything, I’m the one who could get in trouble.”
While the specifics of the alleged situation have not been confirmed, a U.S. secret service spokesperson reportedly told ABC News that there was in fact an incident with a Secret Service agent being fired for having an unauthorized person on the Obamas‘ property.
They noted that the incident spurred a full investigation, leading to the agent’s abrupt suspension.

Celine Dion Hits Runway For Dazzling Performances At Elie Saab Fashion Show
Legendary singer Celine Dion has once again shown the world why she is a musical powerhouse as she performed a breathtaking two-song set at the "1001 Seasons of ELIE SAAB" event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marked another step in Dion's slow but steady return to the limelight following a nearly two-year battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological disorder.
For the spectacular affair celebrating Lebanese designer Elie Saab's 45-year career, Dion, 56, graced the stage in a stunning pale pink sequined gown with a dramatic cape. She delivered an emotional rendition of her 1994 hit "The Power of Love," her powerful voice undiminished despite her recent health struggles.
The finale saw Dion bring her 2002 favorite "I'm Alive" to the stage, backed by a gospel choir and a cadre of white-clad dancers. The upbeat, lively performance had Dion moving with ease, spreading her infectious energy to the crowd. She engaged with the audience, encouraging them to join in and clap along. Wrapping up her set, Dion received a pair of cheek kisses from Elie Saab, signaling the end of a memorable night.
Ahead of her runway performance, Dion described her appearance on the show as a "dream come true." Talking on the red carpet, she expressed her gratitude towards Saab and everyone involved, "His generosity, his talent... meeting him and being with him and having a chance to have a bit of chat with him was very touching for me. So being here is just wonderful. So we're very, very privileged and very honored to be here."
The event was not just a highlight for fashion but a grand musical celebration. Jennifer Lopez added her vibrancy to the night with impressive performances, including a dazzling back flip and a costume change into a glittering bodysuit. Camila Cabello and Nancy Arjam also delivered memorable sets, ensuring the night was packed with star power.
Dion's performance in Riyadh follows her well-received comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics and a surprise appearance at the 2024 Spirit of Life Gala in Los Angeles. Though her battle with SPS led to the postponement of all her 2023 and 2024 tour dates, this performance reinforces her indomitable spirit and the continued reverence for her unparalleled talent.

Report: Jonathan Majors 'Ready' To Dump Meagan Good After Dating For A Year
Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good may no longer be together soon. According to a new report, the "Ant-Man" actor is planning to call it quits with the "Divorce in the Black" star after dating for over a year.
According to one popular Hollywood Instagram blogger, cited by Media Take Out, Jonathan doesn't need Meagan anymore now that his career is doing well following his arrest for assaulting his ex-girlfriend. The "Loki" star is currently in Canada filming his new movie "Merciless".
It was said that Jonathan started dating Megan, who is loved by the black community, to regain trust from the public amid the scandal. "Jonathan is going to be big in Hollywood again, and I think that's effecting his relationship with Megan," said the TikTok blogger. The news outlet, however, didn't name the said social media influencer.
The report came after the couple hinted at trouble in paradise in their red carpet appearance back in June. The two attended the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards held at the Beverly Hilton where Jonathan was honored with the Perseverance Award.
For the occasion, the "Creed III" actor looked dapper in a beige suit with a white shirt underneath. Meagan, meanwhile, turned heads in a dazzling gold dress featuring a cut-out around her abs. While the night should be a celebratory night for Jonathan, the actor appeared to be in a foul mood when his girlfriend appeared to receive more attention.
In a video of the couple taken from the event, Jonathan looked pissed and uncomfortable when Meagan posed solo for the photographers. "He didn't like that. Theres something about Jonathan Majors. She better watch out for that one," one X user commented. One other wrote, "NGL this kind of looks like he was not liking that she was getting that kind of attention and bounced out of there without her."
Another noted, "Ooo he doesn't like her getting all that attention." Someone, meanwhile, warned Meagan, "She better watch out… the way he reacted to her getting more attention than him? Cheaters gonna cheat, beaters gonna beat."

Knicks Player OG Anunoby Nearly Runs Into Anne Hathaway & Her Son During Game
Anne Hathaway had a very literal viral run-in with New York Knicks player Ogugua “OG” Anuoby while attending a basketball game with her son, Jack, on Wednesday night (November 13).
The 42-year-old Princess Diaries actress and her four-year-old son watched the Knicks face off against the Chicago Bulls at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
They had some of the best seats in the house since they were sitting courtside. However, the pair got a little too close to the action when the Knicks player accidentally tripped over a barrier and nearly landed on them.
A video on X (formerly Twitter) captured the moment, showing that OG knocked over a tub of popcorn, which appears to be the only casualty as he didn’t seem to actually bump Anne or Jack.
The actress was seen comforting her son in the aftermath.
“The princess of genovia is safe,” one fan wrote on the app, referencing Anne‘s role in the iconic franchise.

Zendaya Still Hasn’t Read Euphoria Season 3 Scripts
Zendaya revealed a surprising update on the status of Euphoria Season 3.
Euphoria Season 3 is gearing up to start filming in January 2025. Zendaya, who stars as Rue, confirmed the date in an interview with Vanity Fair. However, the two-time Emmy winner has yet to see a script for the upcoming season.
“I haven’t read anything yet, but I’m excited to see what everyone has been working on and what the future looks like for Euphoria,” Zendaya told Vanity Fair. “I don’t really have much of an answer except for right now it’s set to start shooting in January.”
If Euphoria Season 3 begins production in January, it will mark three years since the Season 2 premiere. Euphoria Season 3 has experienced several setbacks, including unexpected deaths within the creative team, the Hollywood strikes, and turmoil between creator Sam Levinson and HBO.
Reports that the third season was dead began to surface due to the busy schedules of stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney. In response, HBO and Max boss Casey Bloys recently denied those reports and confirmed Euphoria will begin filming in early 2025.
“I think we have a start date, mid to late January. Nothing’s changed,” Bloys said. “Somebody said something online, and then this whole thing started. We are shooting the season. I have read the scripts. We’re happy. We’re moving ahead. All of the actors. Is the show.”
Zendaya’s schedule includes Christopher Nolan’s new movie, which will be shot in early 2025. Still, Zendaya remains committed to Euphoria and doing right by her character for the fans.
“My most important thing is to do justice by the people who love and care about Rue and make sure that she’s looked after as a character,” Zendaya added. “I think that’s my number one duty.”

Ye Staring Down Default Judgement in Donda Civil Action
Hey Kanye, you may want to take this one seriously. The Yeezy honcho’s legal troubles surrounding Donda Academy are creeping up the escalator as he faces multiple lawsuits from former employees. Yikes.
ICYMI, one of the most pressing cases involves a lawsuit filed by Isaiah Meadows, the Academy’s former assistant principal, who has moved to seek a default judgment against West. According to reports from AllHipHop, this default judgment is becoming increasingly likely as Kanye has struggled to maintain stable legal representation.
Struggling to secure a lawyer, and you’re Kanye West? This world is not a real place.
Get this: during a recent court hearing, Judge Christopher Lui stressed the urgency of resolving the matter, saying, “This can’t continue forever. If a substitute counsel is going to come in, it has to be done quickly.” Kanye’s current lawyer, Manoj Shah, acknowledged the difficulty they have faced in securing new legal counsel. “We are trying in vain to retain counsel. We are interviewing several firms. For one reason or another, it has failed to work out. Our goal is to have counsel and participate in the defense,” Shah explained.
Now, what’s interesting is that reports suggest Kanye’s tendency to dismiss or fail to pay his legal teams has contributed to repeated delays in his case. Judge Lui clarified that if Kanye fails to secure a lawyer soon, he may face a default judgment in the lawsuit.
In a tactful reply, Ron Zambrano, the attorney representing Meadows and other former employees of Donda Academy, voiced skepticism about Kanye’s legal strategy. “It’s an odd situation. This is the first time we’ve heard there’s an attorney representing [West’s] interests,” Zambrano told Courthouse News. He pointed out a major issue: “Whoever the next attorney is, there’s a long history of people not getting paid by Kanye West, which is part of the problem.”
Then the personal jabs came flying in when Zambrano took a dig at Kanye’s unpredictable behavior, stating, “I just think that sometimes he has the attention span of a goldfish,” a remark that seemed to reflect the challenges in navigating Kanye’s erratic legal moves. While no strict deadline has been set for securing new counsel, it is clear that the court’s patience is beginning to wear thin.

Katt Williams’ Incredible Act of Kindness: Pays for Ms. Pat’s Father’s Funeral Without Hesitation
In a deeply emotional conversation on Club Shay Shay, comedian Ms. Pat shared with Shannon Sharpe her personal journey through pain, forgiveness, and an unexpected act of kindness from fellow comedian Katt Williams. Known for her raw humor, Ms. Pat got candid about her troubled relationship with her father, the challenges she faced growing up, and the powerful help she received from Katt Williams when she needed it most.
Ms. Pat recounted meeting her biological father when she was about 12 or 13 years old—a reunion that came with unexpected drama. Their first meeting was marked by tension, with her father slapping her as an introduction. Ms. Pat, along with her brother, responded by fighting back, creating a turbulent start to their relationship. Despite their rocky history, Ms. Pat later found it in her heart to forgive him. She even became his primary caregiver when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, personally taking him from Atlanta to Indiana to ensure he got the care he needed.
Reflecting on her father’s final moments, Ms. Pat recalled how he, unable to speak, looked up at her with gratitude. She comforted him, reassuring him that he didn’t owe her anything—a moment that highlighted her journey toward forgiveness and healing.
After her father’s passing, Ms. Pat received a call offering her a chance to go on tour with Katt Williams. Though they hadn’t met, Katt extended a remarkable kindness that left a lasting impression. During their first conversation, Katt overheard Ms. Pat trying to coordinate funeral arrangements for her father. Sensing her distress, he left the room briefly and returned with a stack of cash.
“Go bury your dad and come back,” Katt told her, offering a few thousand dollars to cover the funeral expenses. Ms. Pat was overwhelmed, sharing how Katt’s generosity allowed her to give her father a proper farewell. What moved her even more was that Katt didn’t deduct the amount from her pay—he helped with no strings attached, a rare kindness in the entertainment world.
When Shannon Sharpe asked Ms. Pat what people might misunderstand about Katt Williams, she quickly praised him as one of the “most caring” people she’s met in the comedy industry. She emphasized that despite his sometimes controversial reputation, Katt’s actions speak volumes about his genuine compassion. Ms. Pat noted that he didn’t publicize the gesture or expect anything in return, describing his selfless act as a rarity in show business, where favors often come with expectations or publicity.
Throughout her conversation with Shannon, Ms. Pat also touched on her difficult past, including her days forging checks to make ends meet. With humor and honesty, she reflected on how far she’s come, using her life’s challenges to fuel her comedy and connect with fans who relate to her resilience and authenticity.
