David Beckham for Love Magazine Beckham Wearing Turquoise Eyeliner - January 2019
David Beckham showed off his neck tattoos and a whole new look to adorn the cover of Love magazine.
Posing in front of a hot-pink and red backdrop, the soccer star, 43, sported a white blazer and a beige, pin-striped button-down for the photo shoot and jazzed up an otherwise understated ensemble with turquoise eyeliner. In the shot, he looked off camera so the birds, flowers and script inked on his neck are clearly visible.
The magazine revealed that its upcoming issue, out Tuesday, tells the story of how the father of four balanced his confidence on the field with his struggle to feel at ease when he wasn’t kicking a ball around.
“From the very first time he set foot on the field, @davidbeckham knew he wanted to be a football player. ‘That’s how my career started and that is where I felt most at ease, most confident and happiest. I turned into a totally different person. Once I was on the field I knew that was what I could do best,’ ” explains the caption of an Instagram of the cover shared to Love‘s account.
“While his confidence came easily on the pitch, off the pitch was a different story,” it continues. “David Beckham is our #LOVE20.5 cover star, a catalogue of pictures from our first moving image issue – #movingLOVE.”
Beckham may be the epitome of an A-list celeb, but his family has stayed very important to him. Last week, he celebrated the start of 2019 with his wife, Victoria Beckham, 44, their sons, Brooklyn Beckham, 19, Romeo Beckham, 16, and Cruz Beckham, 13, and daughter Harper, 7.
#RHoA: Oh? Why is Peter Thomas’ throwing SHADE at Cynthia Bailey’s Boyfriend?
Peter Thomas caught up with old pals Nene and Gregg Leakes on Sunday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and he let his shade flag fly when it came to addressing his ex-wife’s new man.
As Nene began filling Thomas in on what’s going on in Cynthia Bailey’s love life with Fox Sports 1 analyst Mike Hill, the Bar One founder initially downplayed the relationship.
“I didn’t know it was real,” Thomas says when the Swagg Boutique owner mentions Bailey has a boyfriend.
Thomas went on to say he wasn’t sure if he knew who Hill was despite his status as a sportscaster.
“Well, you know what? Nene, I am so busy,” he continues when asked if he’d be willing to meet Hill.
He also doubted that he may share some similarities with his ex’s new man. “I don’t watch Fox Sports, I watch ESPN. Stephen A. Smith, that’s my guy.”
Yet Hill has not always been with FS1. He spent nine years with ESPN before joining his current network in 2013.
Regardless, fans ate up the diss online.
“Peter said he doesn’t watch FOX SPORTS he watches ESPN. 🤣😂🌴🌴🌴#RHOA.”
“The shade is real Peter #RHOA.”
“Lol. Peter throwing shade at @FOXSports and he still want that Georgia peach though #RHOA.”
Despite Leakes crowning him The Shade King for his remark, Thomas said he was happy for Bailey’s newfound love.
Bailey and Thomas were married from 2010 to 2017, and their union played out in front of “RHOA” cameras. As such, their marital woes also became an issue that was prominently featured on the show. Those issues included alleged meddling from Bailey’s sister, Malorie, which emerged from the get-go, and allegations that Thomas had cheated on his model wife.
Once the marriage imploded, Thomas indicated that he had no issues in the union, but Bailey did. Thomas also said he was “blindsided” when she filed for divorce in 2016.
“We were separated for about five or six months. I think I’ve only seen Cynthia once — because I’m in Charlotte and she’s in Atlanta,” he said on “The Wendy Williams Show” at the time. “Our whole marriage was on the show, and it’s not easy to live that life … I don’t think she was built for that.”
Since the split, both Thomas and Bailey have moved on. Since at least 2018, the Charlotte, N.C.-based businessman is romancing a younger woman named Toni, whom Gregg teased his pal about on the Jan. 6 episode of “RHOA.”
Even before Steve Harvey hooked up Bailey and Hill five months ago, Thomas had indicated he wasn’t necessarily the coolest with seeing his ex moving on when she was dating entrepreneur Will Jones last season.
“I was with you for 10 years,” Thomas said when Bailey admitted she didn’t know if she wanted to introduce the two when they were at the same event. “I’ve never seen you with another man, so I didn’t want to come over there and say ‘hello’ to you.”
#Empire: Taraji P. Henson nearly loses diamond ring at Golden Globes but finds it with help of Terry Crews
Taraji P. Henson nearly lost a diamond ring on Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards, but found it with the help of Terry Crews.
The 48-year-old actress attended the awards ceremony at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California in a custom Vera Wang green velvet gown and accessorized with sparkling rings, necklace and bracelet.
Taraji while waving her hands lost one of the rings as the ceremony ended, according to an article by People.
'Oh my god, oh my god! No one move! No one move! My ring! My ring!,' Taraji screamed while searching the ground.
Terry, 50, was in the vicinity and helped with crowd control as he got on his knees to look for it.
The actor later told People that he didn't find the ring himself, but helped keep the crowd from moving.
'You know Taraji, she is the best! I'd do anything for her,' Terry said later.

#NewHipHop: NaS “Cops Shot The Kid” Video with Slick Rick
Last June, Nas Released Nasir, his Kanye West-produced 11th studio album. One of the most talked-about tracks from the LP was a song called “Cops Shot the Kid," a poignant, Slick Rick-sampling song about police brutality.
In November, a video for the song was featured in the Queens legend’s 16-minute visual album Nasir. Now that particular section of the video gets its standalone music video for viewers to see.
The clip, which was directed by Rohan Blair-Mangat, finds Nas addressing the issues of police brutality in the inner city. The video starts off with the rap veteran walking on the beach with images of riots and a police officer throwing throwing a teen on top of his cruiser.
In another scene, we see Nas spitting his ultra-vivid lyrics in front of his Lamborghini as police helicopters fly above him. We also watch as a young Black man is being chased by the police before he's fatally shot.

The video also features a cameo from Slick Rick, whose 1988 cautionary song “Children's Story” is prominently sampled throughout. We'll let you see where he pops up for yourself.
This video comes a couple weeks after Escobar donned an all-white fur coat in Swizz Beatz's frosty video for "Echo," a Nas-featured track from the legendary producer's Poison album. He followed that up with a salute to the golden era of hip-hop in Black Eyed Peas' visually stunning video for "Back 2 HipHop."

#Alabama vs. #Clemson Tigers Mauled Tide to reclaim throne and win The 2019 National Championship
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- You simply don't get blowouts against Nick Saban's Alabama like that very often -- or ever, in fact. And yet, that's exactly what Clemson did by beating the Crimson Tide 44-16 to win the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship and capture its second national title in three years.
In doing so, the Tigers became the first team in modern college football history to finish a season 15-0 and the first overall to do so since Penn in 1897. No. 1 seeds, meanwhile, fell to 3-5 in CFP games and a resounding 0-for in the national championship.
Alabama-Clemson IV was polarizing in a number of ways. There was no doubt that these were the two best teams in college football, as they had been the top two wire-to-wire from preseason until now. However, with "fatigue" apparently setting in among casual fans, this game didn't quite have the build-up as previous editions did. That view looked to be silly early on, though, with a 27-point first quarter that had plenty of momentum swings -- from pick-sixes to long touchdowns.
In the end, Clemson pulled away in stunning fashion as it accounted for 482 yards of offense on just 63 plays. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 347 yards for his second straight postseason game and nearly became the 10th college quarterback to throw for 350 yards against a Saban-led defense. Lawrence became the first true freshman starting quarterback to win a national championship since Oklahoma's Jamelle Holieway in 1985.

Don Lemon Responds To Kevin Hart’s Apology & Reluctance To Become Ally Of LGBTQ Community
On Friday’s CNN Tonight, Don Lemon did an emotional segment about Kevin Hart’s Ellen interview. In it, he criticized the comedian for not apologizing and for portraying himself as a victim and urged him to become an ally of the LGBTQ community. Tonight, Lemon revisited the topic with another Kevin Hart-themed segment.
The CNN anchor revealed that Hart had reached out to him over the weekend, and the two had a lengthy off-the-record phone conversation in which Hart declined Lemon’s repeated requests to come on his show. While Lemon would bot disclose details about the discussion beyond the general topics, he dissected some comments Hart made earlier today on his Sirius XM radio show, which included an apology to the LGBT community.
Lemon was generally pleased with the apology — while questioning Hart’s repeated use of expletives — but took issue with Hart’s direct response to his on-air appeal from Friday, which he played.
“I don ‘t like the forcing,” Hart said in it. “I don’t like, like Don Lemon goes on CNN, and he’s like, You can fix this, become an ally’. It’s not my dream.””
“He doesn’t want to be an ally of the LGBT community, that’s his right — whether I like it not not, whether you like it or not,” Lemon said. “There has been a lot of blowback, Kevin backed out from hosting the Oscars, and on some level you can understand for him that it feels like he is under attack. But I can tell you for me, as I relate to him, he’s not a victim.”
In all fairness, while Hart did say that being an ally of the LGBTQ community was not his lifetime dream, he made another statement on his radio show that painted him in a similar position; it was not used by Lemon. “If the fight from the LGBTQ community is equality, that’s the fight,” Hart said. “I’m riding with you guys. I understand you.”

Second Man Found Dead In West Hollywood Home Of Major Democratic Donor Ed Buck
A black man in his 50s was found dead early Monday at the West Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck, a prominent Democratic donor associated with a different death in his home last year.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has not yet disclosed the deceased person’s name.
An attorney for Buck told the Los Angeles Times that he believes the individual “was an old friend who died of an accidental overdose” of drugs he had used before coming to Buck’s home.
The incident will sound eerily familiar to anyone who followed the investigation into the death of Gemmel Moore, a 26-year-old black escort who died of an accidental methamphetamine overdose in Buck’s home just 18 months ago. The prominent donor, 65, was present then as well.
The similarities between the two deaths are not lost on law enforcement.
“It is suspicious that this has happened twice now,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Derrick Alfred told reporters outside Buck’s apartment building.
In July, prosecutors declined to charge Buck in connection with Moore’s death ― much to the chagrin of Moore’s family, who said Moore’s journal entries indicated that Buck had a fetish for seeking out gay black men and getting them hooked on dangerous drugs.
Concern that a similar incident could occur grew after other escorts came forward corroborating those claims.
Buck grew to prominence as the founder of the Mecham Watchdog Committee, a campaign he launched in 1987 to impeach former Arizona Gov. Evan Mecham (R). In the first half of 2017, Buck raised nearly $30,000 in state races for California Democratic Reps. Ted Lieu and Pete Aguilar, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) and the Getting Things Done PAC.
Will Smith & Martin Lawrence Begin Day 1 Shooting ‘Bad Boys For Life’ Movie
It has officially begun! Martin Lawrence and Will Smith have begun to shoot their new movie, Bad Boys For Lif3. The film’s co-star, Will Smith, revealed that it was their first day shooting.
Last November, Martin confirmed that he would be in the third installment of the “Bad Boys” franchise.
Speculation and suspicions about whether Lawrence would be joining the cast the third time around were pretty heavy. Production was set to begin in August 2018, but Lawrence still had not confirmed or denied his participation, and in October, Smith, who plays Mike Lowrey, wished his partner a happy birthday on Instagram, asking if he wanted to give it a go
Lawrence would be returning as his original character Marcus Burnett for a slated premiere of January 17th, 2020. The third installment will be titled “Bad Boys for Life,” and will follow up to the 2003 film “Bad Boys II” and their debut film “Bad Boys” which was released in 1995 and grossed $141.4 million. Romeo Miller has also been cast in the film.
Pastor John Gray Allegedly Cheating On His Wife Before and to smooth things out he brought her that LAMBORGHINI Truck!
Pastor John Gray is coming clean inside and out. During a recent church sermon, Pastor Gray - senior pastor at Relentless Church in Greenville, South Carolina - seemingly confessed to stepping out on his marriage. And he did so in the pulpit with his wife, Aventar Gray, by his side. He talked about how over the last two years he and his wife were headed towards divorce. He said they kept a happy family front even though they were not on one accord.
"We had to keep smiling because even though we were struggling. Even though I was failing as a husband, I was already in front of the people and the people can't really receive my brokeness becasue where do leaders go when they bleed?" he said to the congregation.
"So I had to bleed alone. And what's strange is I traveled the whole world and the Holy Ghost showed up and people got saved and me and wife just kept smiling and nobody knew we were getting ready to get a divorce. Because as long as I kept producing, nobody cared what was happening at home," he continued.
"I started listening to the wrong voices and let some people get too close. She found out and she set it off, just like a good wife should."
Then, his wife grabbed the mic to defend her husband and marriage while dropping a few more deets about his infidelity.
"And then I prayed for them and him and then the devil loses," she said. "Because what's not going to happen is you tell me that I'm going to lose my purpose because someone whispered to a '16-year-old John'. The devil is a lie. I'm standing with my husband and you can go on back to the pits of hell where you came from. Was I upset? Yes. Was I heartbroken? Yes. But, you better learn how to get in there for the - what's the vows? - better and worst so when the worst shows up you don't run way."
"I am the RIB that God took from him. I'm his Rest In Brokenness until he wakes up and understands who he is. You pray wife while the devils run away. I'm not saying sit there in perpetual foolishness, I'm saying to pray the devils away. If you give up too soon, he wins. He couldn't have this purpose. He knew what this was. He was coming for y'all, that's why he came for us. We know better! I see you devil, but you don't want it with me! You can't have this here devil!"
I guess sis...

Facebook Removes Page The“Surviving Lies” That Aimed to Expose R. Kelly Accusers
Facebook has taken down a page linked to R. Kelly that sought to discredit a woman who accused the singer of sexual assault and also appeared in the Lifetime documentary series Surviving R. Kelly.
Following the finale of Surviving R. Kelly, which aired on Saturday night and highlighted a myriad of sexual assault and abuse allegations against the singer from multiple women over decades, a page titled “Surviving Lies” surfaced on Facebook which ran ads discrediting Kelly’s accusers.
According to a report in TMZ, the“Surviving Lies” page was created by Kelly’s people. The page reportedly attacked R. Kelly accuser Asante McGee, who appeared in Surviving R. Kelly. The Facebook page made claims that McGee was working with the family of another girl, Joycelyn Savage, to extort the singer. TMZ reports that the page also posted details of McGee’s arrest record.
On Monday, Facebook took the page down.
“The Page violated our Community Standards and has been removed. We do not tolerate bullying or sharing someone’s private contact information and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we’re aware,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.
Judge Orders Chris Brown To Pay Up After Refusing To Turn Over Drug Tests Results
A California judge has ruled against Chris Brown in the ongoing legal battle with his former manager, Mike Guirguis.
In court documents obtained by The Blast, the L.A. judge hit Brown with sanctions over his refusal to turn over drug test results, as part of the pair’s legal battle over an alleged assault that occurred in 2016.
While Guirguis demanded $3,825 in the motion, the judge only ordered the singer to pay $1,760. In addition, the judge instructed Brown to turn over all documents requested in the case, including any related to Brown’s theft claim, which came after Guirguis sued for the alleged attack, all documents related to Brown’s drug history in 2016 and any documents about his deleted Instagram posts.
Guirguis is also asking for documents in regards to Brown’s criminal history over the last 10 years, restraining orders and documents related to his anger management treatment and courses, the publication reports.
In the meantime, the case, in which Guirguis claimed Brown attacked him without provocation, is still ongoing.
