Hip Hop News: Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole Joint Album ‘In The Works,’ Says Ab-Soul
Ab-Soul just dropped his new album Do What Thou Wilt, but he’s also making headlines this week by confirming another LP: the long-rumored joint project between Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.

During an appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” Soulo seemed hesitant to address the project at first. “I can’t speak on that,” he said. “I wish I could…These guys, they move like the mob. You never know with these guys… I don’t know too much about it. I just hope they use my verse. They just need to use my verse.”

Asked for clarity, Soulo added: “They got it. They got something in the works. They’ve been working on that motherfu**er for a while.”


Oh? Keshia Knight-Pulliam Wants Ed Hartwell In Jail
According our sweethearts over at theJasmineBRAND.com Keisha Knight-Pulliam has returned to court pleading with the judge to throw her soon-to-be ex-husband Ed Hartwell in jail. The actress accuses him of being a hypocrite by demanding a DNA test be done to determine if he is the father of her unborn baby, yet he has refused to submit to his DNA test along with failing to pay her for the pre-natal costs for the baby.
Here’s the latest: This week, Keisha went back to court accusing Ed of refusing to take the DNA test he demanded in the paternity suit he filed. She explains that her lawyers have sent eight emails to Hartwell’s lawyer – the last one on October 24th – asking for confirmation on whether he had taken or paid his share of costs for the prenatal paternity test and submitted his DNA sample as promised. They threatened to file a motion for contempt if he had not complied. Further, they wanted to know if he had transferred the titles of the martial guns out of his name and into her name per the court order.

Hartwell’s lawyer did not respond to either question by Pulliam’s lawyer. Keisha accuses Ed of failing to execute the documents to transfer the titles for the guns – which she says makes him in contempt of the court order – and he has failed to pay his ½ of the parental expenses for their unborn child.
In regards to the DNA test, Keisha says he demanded the test in a despicable manner by including embarrassing and false allegations in his original complaint. She explains their DNA tests had to be done in close time proximate to each other and she submitted hers on October 10th.
She wants the judge to throw Ed in jail until he purges himself of contempt by paying his share of the pre-natal paternity testing costs, submit his DNA test, pay for ½ of the pre-natal expenses for their unborn child and transfer the tittles for their guns.

The actress is requesting the judge fine Ed a total of $1k as a punishment for each instance of his contemptuous behavior along with $15k for her attorney fees.
Here’s the backstory: Keshia filed docs in the case demanding Ed be found in contempt unless he follows the terms of their temporary agreement, in which he was to pay her for certain moving expenses and costs related to her pregnancy. She is also unpleased that he has yet to submit to the DNA test as well.
WOW!!!


Victor Cruz: Racist Burglary Of Teammate Nikita Whitlock Reflects New Trump 
*New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz spoke out Thursday about the racist graffiti drawn during a home burglary of teammate Nikita Whitlock, calling the act a reflection of the mindset of people who support President-elect Donald Trump.

“I think there’s a specific mindset that comes with supporting a guy like Donald Trump and supporting what he stands for, and there’s a certain type of person that comes with that. I’m not sure that person is always a positive-minded person, if you know what I mean,” Cruz told reporters Thursday. “You’ve just got to be careful.
“As [a] minority, you have to be careful, as a person of influence you have to be careful and you’ve just got to make sure your family is safe and give them the knowledge that they need to stay safe in this world.”
Cruz said he doesn’t think all Trump supporters are racist, noting some likely just wanted change while others preferred a businessman in charge of the country.

However…“You can’t think of anything that that person that follows Donald Trump — that they’re going to do something positive,” Cruz said. “And for someone to vandalize someone’s house and write Trump’s name or whatever they wrote on the walls, it’s just proving that exact fact that I’m saying — that people that may follow him aren’t necessarily the most positive people in our community.”
As previously reported, police in Moonachie, New Jersey, are investigating the Tuesday night robbery, during which burglars drew a swastika and “KKK,” as well as the word “Trump,” on walls inside Whitlock’s home.
Cruz, a native of Paterson, New Jersey, (about 10 miles northwest of Moonachie), says the incident at Whitlock’s house hit home. “It’s just 20 minutes from where I grew up. This could have easily happened in Paterson. It could have easily happened in Clifton or Passaic or Lyndhurst even for that matter. This could have happened anywhere.

“To see something like that happen around here and to happen the way that it did — breaking into a home, the vandalism … Nikita has children. He’s got to explain that to his children. Not just right now. Five years from now, 10 years from now when they ask, ‘Hey, dad, remember when that happened?’ They have to answer those questions. He has to answer those questions to his children. It’s unfortunate. No one should have to go through that.”

Cruz didn’t seem to mind the potential backlash his Trump comments might cause.
“That’s fine with me,” he said. “I’m comfortable with that. I’m comfortable with people’s reactions to that. That’s my opinion, that’s my mindset, that’s the way I think, so I’m not upset at anybody else that thinks otherwise.”

Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Are Not Divorcing, E! News Declares
Rumors started spreading like wildfire this week that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were on the brink of divorce, with Us Weekly reporting that the reality star is ready to file. A Kardashian “friend” told Us that she has been distancing herself from him since his release from the hospital. 

“It will take some time before she can do anything,” the friend said, adding that Kardashian wants full custody of their children, North and Saint, “but she doesn’t want to stay married ... She cares about Kanye and feels relieved he’s getting the help he needs, but she’s felt trapped for a while.”
The official media mouthpiece of the Kardashians, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” Twitter account, said the rumors are false. 
Someone close to Kardashian’s legal team told E! that the reports are inaccurate. “I know for a fact that’s not true,” the source said of the divorce.

The couple, who has been married for two years, has had their ups and downs recently ― from West’s hospitalization to Kardashian’s October armed robbery in Paris. 

 “It’s been a very hard couple of months,” a source told E!. 

Kimye forever.

Uzo Aduba Covers Essence September 2016 Issue
There are plenty of reasons to love Uzo Aduba. She gives the best pep talks, makes inspiring award show speeches, and slays season after season as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren on Orange Is the New Black. On top of all that, Uzo's cover story in Essence's September issue is chock-full of quotes that will make you want to punch your fist in the air.

The Emmy winner touches on everything from perseverance in a difficult industry to how she maintains her self-esteem, all of which we can add to her long list of encouraging quotes:
•On the time she almost quit acting: "There have been times in my life where I have doubted, questioned, felt tired, but I had never quit before in my core. My heart never quit. And that was the first time I felt my heart give out on me."

•On her elated reaction to hearing she'd been cast as Crazy Eyes: "I lost my mind. I'm running around my apartment crying. I was like, 'You don't understand. I just quit.' And my agent quoted The Godfather line: 'Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in.'"

•On why people can't get enough of Orange Is the New Black: "People were thirsty, but they didn't even know what they were thirsty for until they saw our show. They wanted stories that felt inclusive of their existence, where they could see themselves . . . I never imagined a Bantu knot-wearing woman named Crazy Eyes would do all of this. Definitely not."

•On her self-worth: "This business will try to convince you that you're not enough. That you're not pretty enough, thin enough, talented enough, interesting enough, experienced enough, and I say, 'Enough. Enough with that!' Who are you to tell me that I am not enough when I know that I am more than enough? I cannot subscribe to anyone else's idea of how I am meant to look, what size I am meant to be, whether I have a gap in my teeth, how I'm supposed to behave, what your idea of what my black womanhood is supposed to look like. No. This is me. I am just Uzo. I can't be anything other than that, and I don't want to be."

Beautiful! Next up for the two-time Emmy winner -- a West End play and two films this year.

The September issue hits newsstands this Friday.



R.H.o.A: Get a look at Cynthia Bailey’s former Atlanta Townhouse!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas have sold their Atlanta home amid their ongoing separation and expected divorce.

The sale of the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home for an estimated $699,000, according to TMZ, comes less than a month after Thomas and Bailey put it up for sale in late July, and about five months after the couple separated in March.
The home is currently in escrow, as Peter has moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, while Cynthia has sought to remain in Atlanta for now.

Take a look
What a beautiful home!



TCA: ‘Empire’ Taraji and Team Talks Season 3!
*Taraji P. Henson and her “Empire” executive producers Ilene Chaiken and Sanaa Hamri made a TCA appearance on Monday and spoke at length about the direction of season 3 and the ongoing rumors regarding a spinoff.
“There certainly could be and we talk about it,” she told reporters of a possible spinoff series. “I think the show offers so many opportunities. There are potential spinoffs with Lucious and Cookie’s characters, sure.”

Granted, this comes exactly one year after “Empire” co-creator Lee Daniels famously told Fox’s 2015 TCA press tour, “there will be a spinoff.” It’s been crickets on that front ever since. Instead, Daniels developed the forthcoming drama “Star,” which centers on an up-and-coming girl group.
Chaiken hasn’t ruled out the  possibility of a crossover between “Empire” and “Star” at some point in the future. “We haven’t talked about it yet. I think the show needs to launch first,” Chaiken said of “Star,” which premieres midseason on Fox. “But certainly, there’s potential for it. The worlds, they’re both grounded worlds and stories about music, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility.”

As for season 3 plot details for “Empire,” Chaiken said Cookie will attempt to leave Lucious. Henson reminded folks that season 2 ended with her character telling him “I’m done.” But, when asked if Cookie could ever really be done with Lucious, she conceded that he is the father of Cookie’s children and joked, “Not unless she kills him.” Then she glared at Chaiken and Hamri.

Chaiken said season 3 would also delve into Cookie’s backstory, in depth. As previously reported, younger versions of Lucious and Cookie have been cast for multiple flashbacks this coming season.
Chaiken also spoke about the negative attention the show received for killing off not one but two LGBT characters, Naomi Campbell’s Camilla and Marisa Tomei’s Mimi. Both were killed off in the same April episode just as the Bury Your Gays trope was heating up due to notable character demises on shows such as “The 100” and “The Walking Dead.”
“The Kill Your Gays trope, I personally didn’t think that we were falling into it, but we did get drawn into it and I’m respectful of the way it’s been taken up in the public conversation,” said Chaiken. “Anytime we go near any issue like that, we try to be very mindful of it and responsible.”

The showrunner said the experience had informed the writer’s room going forward: “Apart from some specific entertainment industry trends that we fell into a little bit, what we try to be mindful of is that even though we’re telling stories, you can’t do that lightly. Killing is not your go-to move. It’s a huge move and we always challenge ourselves to find other places to go before we go there because that’s an endgame.”
However, the show “went there” again in the season two finale, which teased the death of either Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday) or Anika (Grace Gealey) after a rooftop argument that seemed to end with one of the two ladies being thrown off a high-rise building.

“We answer the question,” said Chaiken. “The question that was posed gets answered in a fabulous and heart-stopping way.”

“Empire” season 3 premieres Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.

The Rock and Vin Diesel Have Secret Meet Up Over ‘Fast8’ Feud
*Earlier it was reported that The Rock was not at all happy with some his male co-stars of “The Fast & the Furious 8” which is being filmed in Atlanta. Now we know he was specifically referring to of all people, Vin Diesel .
According to TMZ, the two had a “secret” meeting to hash things out, but as of now, it’s not clear as to how things turned out between the superstars.

As we reported, when the Rock went off on social media Monday night, claiming certain male co-stars were not stand up guys and too “chicken s*it” to confront him … he was referring to Diesel.
Apparently The Rock and Diesel have been butting heads during the production of the film, in part because Diesel is a producer and made decisions that The Rock wasn’t feeling.
As far as the meeting Tuesday, sources say The Rock and Vin had a mid-day Tuesday sit-down on the set mostly because tensions were running so high, it was almost impossible to shoot scenes.

Also it was reported that after The Rock issued his initial statement, the entire cast is now pissed at him for causing a rukus even though filming ends in just a week and a half.

Stay tuned story developing …

Future and Giorgio Armani Are Your New Favorite Celebrity BFFs
Real recognize real. In unexpected but absolutely delightful news, rapper Future and fashion designer Giorgio Armani debuted their friendship via a joint interview in GQ Style.

While the premise of the interview centered around a Bugatti (Future raps about them, Armani is currently doing a capsule collection with them), there was lots of respect shared between the pair, despite some major differences in age, lifestyle, and profession.

The Atlanta-based rap star of the moment made no secret of his admiration for the designer. “He’s seen all kinds of artists over the years,” he said. “He can basically just look at you and tell. Sometimes I get nervous about being accepted by people like him, because you never know. But some way my walk of life and his walk of life have connected.”
As for Armani, the feeling was mutual. “I know how much he suffers to be where he is,” he said. “He’s suffered just like I’ve suffered. So…we’re friends in a way.”

However, Future might have summed up the new relationship best. “He’s the top designer in the world. I’m the top rapper in the world. Some hits are going to come from this experience for sure.”
