#RHOA: Andy Cohen Gives NeNe Leakes Update at BravoCon 2025
The fans have been pretty vocal about hoping for a NeNe Leakes return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Even some of the cast members have shared their thoughts about wanting her back. But it seemed like that ship had sailed. Or has it? During BravoCon 2025, Andy Cohen admitted that he and NeNe have been in contact. For fans, that means the door may finally be opening again!
Andy Cohen says he and NeNe Leakes “texted a few months ago”
NeNe left RHOA during failed contract negotiations for Season 13, and it wasn’t long before fans missed her fiery candor on the show. However, it seemed like the door to a possible return was closed when she talked about being pushed out and seemed to join Bethenny Frankel in the so-called reality TV reckoning.
She filed a lawsuit against Bravo for a hostile work environment, although she later dropped it. Usually, though, when the lawsuits come out, that’s pretty much a burned bridge.
But then again, time can heal all wounds when you let it. The fans have remained consistent about hoping for a NeNe return to RHOA, and even castmates and friends like Drew Sidora and Kandi Burruss are vocal about wanting her back.
As for NeNe herself, she hasn’t been averse to a Bravo comeback. She’s said she’d do it for the fans if the conditions were right. And that’s about all you hope for when coming to the negotiating table.
But the one missing piece was that Andy and Bravo didn’t seem keen about wanting her back after everything that happened. Now, though, it looks like the door for a return may have been pushed open just a tiny bit!
At BravoCon 2025, Andy shared that he and NeNe had texted each other in the past couple of months. It was a split-second comment, but it was enough to give everyone hope. Fans caught the clip and shared it on social media for posterity.
Perhaps we may be looking at a NeNe return much sooner than anticipated. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.

#HipHopNews: 6IX9INE’S Florida Home Invaded By Four Gunmen, His Mother Held Against Her Will
On Sunday night (Nov. 16), TMZ reports that 6ix9ine's 60-year-old mother was inside his Florida home when four masked gunmen invaded the residence, apparently looking for cash and the rapper's car keys. Tekashi wasn't home at the time of the incident and was streaming with Jack Doherty.
6ix9ine's mother was held outside the house while the armed men ransacked the property inside. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Florida arrived at the rapper's home for a home invasion robbery/burglary in progress. When police showed up, they did not find any of the suspects.
This week, 6ix9ine will have his own legal issues to deal with. Prosecutors want him to serve up to nine months in prison for multiple parole violations. 6ix9ine has been on supervised release since he was let out of prison in April of 2020.
"The nature and circumstances of the offense warrant a term of imprisonment and a new term of supervised release," the prosecutors' filing reads. "Hernandez violated the trust this Court placed in him following his release from custody on his underlying charges."
The rhymer has violated the terms of his parole three times in the past 13 months. He tested positive for meth, pleaded guilty to cocaine and MDMA possession, and attacked a man in a Florida mall. On Nov. 20, 6ix9ine is scheduled to be sentenced.
Rev. Jesse Jackson Is In Stable Condition Despite Life Support Reports
The family of Rev. Jesse Jackson said he is in stable condition despite reports of him being on life support.
Multiple news outlets had reported that family and friends were traveling to be with Jackson as he received life support at a hospital in Chicago.
The family clarified in a statement that the Rainbow PUSH Coalition founder’s condition is stabilized and he is breathing without the assistance of machines.
“In fact, today he called for 2,000 churches to prepare 2,000 baskets of food to prevent malnutrition during the holiday season,” Jackson’s son, Yusef, said in a statement.
They said he remains under the care of doctors while managing his progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, a neurological disorder. Jackson was diagnosed with the disorder back in April.
On Wednesday (Nov 12), Jackson, 84, was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for observation related to his progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
The family said they extend their gratitude toward the medical team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where Jackson is being treated. They said they’re also grateful for the prayers and wishes toward Jackson.
Jackson is one of America’s foremost civil rights, religious and political figures. Over the past forty years, he has played a pivotal role in virtually every movement for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality, and economic and social justice
#BoxOfficeNews: ‘Now You See Me 3’ Captures First Place With $21.3 Million, ‘Running Man’ Stumbles With $17 Million Debut
“Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” pulled off a nifty magic trick, besting Glen Powell’s big-budget action-thriller, “The Running Man,” and the second weekend of “Predator: Badlands,” the critically adored reboot of the long-running monster franchise.
The third “Now You See Me” film picked up $21.3 million over the weekend, a solid result for a series that hasn’t had a new entry since 2016. The film also grossed $54.2 million across 64 international territories this weekend for a worldwide total of $75.5 million.
“This is still a viable franchise,” says Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at ComScore. “The international audience really delivered for the film.”
It’s good news for Lionsgate, the studio behind the $90 million illusionist adventure, which has failed to materialize many hits in recent months (the list of duds includes “Ballerina” and “Good Fortune”). It may signal a shift in the studio’s fortunes, with “The Housemaid,” an adaptation of Freida McFadden’s best-selling potboiler, hitting theaters in December, and “Michael,” a biopic of Michael Jackson, and “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” opening in 2026. Ruben Fleischer, who previously helmed “Venom” and “Zombieland,” handled directing duties on “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” with stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco returning as a group of magicians who fleece corrupt one-percenters. A fourth film is in the works.
“We gave the audience exactly what they wanted,” says Kevin Grayson, head of domestic distribution for Lionsgate. He argued that “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” was able to broaden its audience by bringing back franchise mainstays and adding a new generation of stars such as Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa and Ariana Greenblatt. “The new cast helped bring in younger moviegoers,” Grayson added.
“The Running Man,” which paired Powell with cult favorite filmmaker Edgar Wright, was no match for “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t,” settling for a second-place finish with a lackluster $17 million. Internationally, the film earned $11.2 million for a global haul of $28.2 million. That’s a troubling result considering that Paramount shelled out $110 million to make the movie. It’s also Powell’s first stumble since he began building a following with hits like the rom-com “Anyone But You,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Twisters.” Oh, and it’s bad news for Wright, who could have used a box office winner after his last film, “Last Night in Soho,” had the misfortune of opening in 2021 as Omicron was hitting the scene. Heading into the weekend, Paramount had hoped the film would debut to more than $20 million. “The Running Man” was greenlit and produced long before David Ellison’s Skydance took control of Paramount in August.
“This thing is dead in the water,” says Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “It doesn’t have enough traction to survive the coming holiday season.”
The weekend’s two major new releases appealed to slightly different demographics. “The Running Man’s” audience was 63% male and 70% between the ages of 18 and 44, while the opening crowd for “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” was 54% female and 65% over the age of 25.
“The Running Man” is the second attempt at adapting Stephen King’s dystopian novel; the first was a campy 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger flick. And Schwarzenegger has a connection to “Predator: Badlands,” having starred in the original entry in the series, which was also released in 1987 during his action hero heyday. In its sophomore weekend, “Predator: Badlands” dropped a steep 68% to $13 million to bring the 20th Century Studios release’s domestic haul to $66.3 million. The film cost $105 million to make and has earned $136.3 million globally.
The weekend’s other major new release, Neon’s “Keeper,” the latest indie horror effort from writer-director Osgood Perkins, earned a paltry $2.5 million for a seventh-place debut. That’s a pale shadow of what Perkins’ previous films, “Longlegs” ($22 million) and “The Monkey” ($14 million), earned in their opening weekends. Critics loathed the film, and audiences appeared to agree, handing it a “D+” grade, so word-of-mouth won’t come in handy. The only saving grace is that “Keeper” cost a mere $6 million to produce. Perkins will try to recapture his commercial touch with next year’s “The Young People,” which stars Tatiana Maslany and Nicole Kidman.
Paramount’s “Regretting You,” an adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel of the same name, took fourth place in its fourth weekend, earning $4 million. That pushes its domestic total to $44.9 million. Universal’s “The Black Phone 2” rounded out the top five, picking up $2.6 million to push its stateside haul to $74.7 million after five weeks of release.
In milestone news, “One Battle After Another” crossed $70 million at the domestic box office and $200 million globally after eight weekends in theaters. That would be a strong result for an R-rated, adult-oriented thriller, save for the fact that Warner Bros. gave director Paul Thomas Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio $140 million to make the film. Critics called it a masterpiece, and the movie generated Oscar buzz, but given that “One Battle After Another” needed to make roughly $300 million to break even, the studio is looking at a very steep write-down.
Overall, the domestic box office topped out at just over $75 million, slightly ahead of the same period last year when Dwayne Johnson’s holiday comedy “Red One” drove earnings to $73.2 million. Next weekend brings “Wicked: For Good,” giving theater owners renewed hope after they’ve suffered through one of the worst falls in movie business history. To prime the pump, Universal re-released “Wicked,” bringing in $1.2 million.
“We’re in the calm before the Thanksgiving storm,” says Dergarabedian. “Things are about to heat up.”

Beyoncé Super Fan Dies By Suicide Months Before Wedding
Sydney Hardeman, who went viral for her reaction to Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performance, has died by suicide. She was 25.
Sydney, whose wide-eyed Coachella reaction became one of the defining moments of Beyoncé’s “Homecoming” documentary, had been planning an April wedding.
In 2019, her face went viral when Netflix released “Beyoncé: Homecoming,” the concert film chronicling the singer’s history-making 2018 Coachella set.
“I was expecting to see myself because I remember the cameraman being in my face the whole time, but I was so happy to be shown because it means Beyoncé knows my face exists,” she said with Buzzfeed News after her moment of viral fame.
“I’m surprised that it blew up, but I knew once Netflix accounts retweeted it, it would catch attention quickly,” she added.
According to Sydney’s younger brother Jay Hardeman, she was a Texas flight instructor and lifelong member of the BeyHive.
She played varsity basketball all four years and later joined the team at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, where she once set the school record for most three-pointers in a game.
She graduated magna cum laude and earned a full-ride scholarship to United Aviate Academy, he added.
“She was so determined and nice and welcoming and happy,” Jay said. “And she never missed a Beyoncé album or tour.”
Following the tragic news, Beyoncé’s mother, 71, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
“So sad to hear the news that this angel has gone to be with the lord. My Love goes out to her family and friends, and all the beehive members that knew and loved her,” Knowles wrote, alongside a video edit of pictures of Hardeman at Coachella.
“I remember the video that went viral of her expression at Coachella and all the photos after that I’ve seen. I didn’t know her personally,” she added, “but I feel a real sad sadness today at this loss of this young beautiful woman. My prayers up for her family.”

NBC Moves To Squash Diddy’s $100M Lawsuit—Points To His Own Words In Court
Diddy is being slammed by NBC, which says he admitted he wrecked his own name long before their Peacock documentary, The Making of a Bad Boy, came out.
The network wants his $100 million lawsuit tossed and says his downfall is his own doing.
NBC’s new filing says the film didn’t ruin him. They say his guilty verdict, a long list of lawsuits and his own words in court explain everything. Lawyers for the network highlighted what he told the judge at sentencing.
He said, “Because of my decisions, I lost my freedom. I lost my career. I totally destroyed my reputation.” NBC argues that the line alone shows he can’t blame a documentary for the damage.
Diddy sued NBCUniversal, Peacock and the producers earlier this year.
He claims The Making of a Bad Boy paints him as a predator and ties him to the deaths of Kim Porter, The Notorious B.I.G. and Heavy D. Diddy says it leans into rumors to make him look like a monster and even compares him to Lucifer, aka the Devil himself.
The rap mogul claims NBC released a rushed, sloppy documentary and he presented his alleged proof: a quote from Ample Entertainment co-founder Ari Mark, who told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s really competitive and I think that is why it wasn’t enough to be fast, it was also necessary to be distinct. There’s no time and this was an extremely fast turnaround.”
NBC says the documentary pulls from public records, long-reported claims and interviews that were already part of national news.
His own case made those stories hit harder. A federal jury found him guilty of trafficking people across state lines for prostitution under the Mann Act.
The case involved accusations from Cassie Ventura, a woman called “Jane” and several male sex workers. The disgraced mogul received a 50-month sentence, a substantial fine, and strict rules upon his release.
Diddy spent more than a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before being recently transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. That is where he is serving his time today.
Current records indicate that he is incarcerated until 2028. Prison hasn’t been peaceful either.
Reports Diddy broke phone rules right after arriving and was allegedly caught with homemade alcohol, though his team pushed back on that part. He still got punished.

Ariana Grande – Man Who Grabbed Singer on ‘Wicked: For Good’ Carpet Is Charged With “Public Nuisance” in Singapore
Singapore officials have charged the man who jumped a barricade and grabbed Ariana Grande during the “Wicked: For Good” red carpet event on Thursday. The incident, captured in multiple viral clips, shows 26-year-old Australian citizen Johnson Wen rushing toward the star, attempting to embrace her, and putting his arm around her. Grande appears stunned as her co-star Cynthia Erivo quickly intervenes, pulling Wen away with visible anger.
Wen — who posts on Instagram as @pyjamamann — was briefly detained following the confrontation. He later shared a message online saying, “@arianagrande @wickedmovie Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.”
Authorities are treating the matter seriously. According to local court documents released Friday, Wen has been charged with “being a public nuisance.” If convicted, he faces up to three months in prison and a fine of as much as S$2,000 (approximately $1,540 USD). He is expected to return to court on Monday.
Wen has a history of similar disruptions. Videos on his Instagram account show him invading a Katy Perry show, a The Chainmakers concert, and several sporting events — including the 2023 FIFA World Cup Final — among many others.
The incident has sparked broad criticism, particularly given Grande’s past discussions about experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder following the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people and injured hundreds.

Ryan Coogler Confirms Black Panther 3 Project will move forward
After more than a year of avoiding the question, director Ryan Coogler admits he will be directing Black Panther 3...
While speaking onstage Saturday during the Sinners panel at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles, the two-time Oscar nominee confirmed to Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. that Black Panther 3 is his “next movie” as he is hard at work completing the MCU trilogy that kicked off with Chadwick Boseman in 2018.

Nicki Minaj to address UN on alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria
Nicki Minaj is working with the Trump administration to address anti-Christian attacks in Nigeria.
The U.S. envoy to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, revealed on X that he invited the rapper to speak to the U.N. on Tuesday.
“@NICKIMINAJ is not only arguably the greatest female recording artist, but also a principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice,” Waltz wrote.
He added, “I’m grateful she’s leveraging her massive platform to spotlight the atrocities against Christians in Nigeria, and I look forward to standing with her as we discuss the steps the President and his administration are taking to end the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters.”
In response to Walz, the “Pound the Alarm” rapper said she was “grateful” for the opportunity to address the U.N., writing, “I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know.”
“The Barbz & I will never stand down in the face of injustice. We’ve been given our influence by God. There must be a bigger purpose,” she wrote.
President Trump focuses on Nigeria
Last month, President Donald Trump posted that he would investigate religious freedom in Nigeria, saying that the West African nation is of “particular concern.”
“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” Trump said in a social media post. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN.’”
Pope Leo XIV calls for peace after ‘terrible’ attack
In June, Pope Leo XIV prayed for the Christian victims of what he called a terrible massacre in Nigeria.
“I renew my appeal to the combatants to stop, to protect civilians and to embark on a path of dialogue for peace,” he said.

Indiana Homeowner Charged with Manslaughter In Fatal Shooting Of House Cleaner Who Arrived At The Wrong Home
An Indiana homeowner has been charged after fatally shooting a house cleaner who had mistakenly gone to the wrong house on Nov. 5 for a cleaning job in Whitestown. The victim, 32-year-old Maria Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez, was found dead on the front porch just before 7 a.m., with a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities say she and her husband were in the process of entering the property using a key when the homeowner fired from inside.
Curt Anderson, 62, was taken into custody today (Nov. 17) and is being held without bail, booked on one count of voluntary manslaughter, jail records showed. Indiana is a stand-your-ground state, but Boone County Prosecutor Kent Eastwood told reporters that Anderson “did not have a reasonable belief that that type of force was necessary, given all the facts.” Perez and her husband had four children, ranging in age from 11 months to 17.

Met Gala 2026 Theme Revealed to Be 'Costume Art'
The theme for the 2026 Met Gala has been announced. This coming year will have the focus off… “Costume Art.”
“It’s a huge moment for the Costume Institute,” curator Andrew Bolton explained. “It will be transformative for our department, but I also think it’s going to be transformative to fashion more generally—the fact that an art museum like The Met is actually giving a central location to fashion.”
“The title ‘Costume Art’ refers to the history of the Costume Institute,” he added. Fashion “has an edge on art because it is about one’s lived, embodied experience.”
It will focus on “the centrality of the dressed body in the museum’s vast collection.”
CNN says the “showcase will pair almost 200 artworks with around 200 garments and accessories in an effort to join the dots between fashion and fine art once and for all.” It will focus on the “ubiquity and endurance through time and space,” and be broken into themes including “the Naked Body,” “the Classical Body,” “the Pregnant Body” and “the Mortal Body.”
The exhibit will run at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. The Met Gala will take place on the First Monday in May, which is May 4, 2026.

O.J. Simpson Estate to Pay Ron Goldman’s Father Nearly $58 Million in Civil Judgment
O.J. Simpson may be gone, but his debts are still being settled. Fred Goldman is finally seeing a form of justice after decades of relentless pursuit. The estate of O.J. Simpson has agreed to pay nearly $58 million to Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was killed alongside Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994.
Though Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial, a civil court in 1997 held him liable and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. That amount ballooned over the years due to interest and unpaid balances. In 2021, a Nevada judge recalculated the total to nearly $58 million.
Following Simpson’s death from prostate cancer in April 2024, Fred Goldman filed a creditor’s claim in Clark County District Court. Court documents confirm the estate has accepted the amount, with further discussions underway regarding the interest calculation.
“The executor will continue to work with Claimant Goldman on a more accurate accounting of interest accumulation,” the filing reads.
Simpson’s estate, currently being sorted through probate, includes personal memorabilia such as his 1968 Heisman Trophy. A judge is overseeing the auctioning of such items to settle debts.
The next court hearing in the probate case is scheduled for January.
