The Daily Buzz For May 29 ☕📰☕


Pamela Anderson for Vogue Czechoslovakia - June 2019
Pamela Anderson is officially a Vogue cover girl. The former Playboy pin-up, 51, just made her debut on a very different type of magazine, starring on three covers for Vogue Czechoslovakia’s June issue.

The “Baywatch” star strikes some dramatic seaside poses for the triptych covers photographed by Dan Beleiu in Cassis, France, posing in Chanel, Saint Laurent, Versace and Savage x Fenty alongside the phrase “Who wants to kill Pamela Anderson?”

“Miracles happen,” the publication wrote on its Instagram account alongside one of the images, explaining that the shoot was inspired by the 1966 cult Czech film “Who Wants to Kill Jessie?” starring Anderson look-alike Olga Schoberova.
In the interview that accompanies the shoot, the longtime animal rights activist says, “Every girl wants to feel sexy. I think of myself as a socialist feminist. I love men. I don’t like authority,” adding, “Be careful who you share your weaknesses with. Some people can’t wait for the opportunity to use them against you.”


#RHOA: Eva Marcille Just Debuted a New Hairstyle
The Real Housewives of Atlanta model Eva Marcille showed off a brand-new hairstyle, and it's the definition of different.
With the soon-to-be mom of three's due date for her third child quickly approaching, the Georgia Peach took self-care to the next level by trading in her short hair for a fresh braided and twisted 'do, which she artfully piled on top of her head. 

In another shot of her hairstyle, she wrote, "You do you, and imma do me." Clearly, Eva doesn't care what anyone has to say about her bold new look — she loves it, and that's all that matters. 
LOL! What do you think?


#Empire: After canceing ‘Star’ Lee Daniels Has a New Project Announcement 
It’s just been announced that Lee Daniels has developed a new TV pilot, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about “Star,” the Fox series that was recently canceled after three seasons.

Daniel’s potential new show is called “Good People,” which he wrote with actress and comedian Whitney Cummings, who will also be in the pilot. The Amazon project will star Lisa Kudrow from the ’90s sitcom “Friends” as well.
The premise of the pilot surrounds three women from different generations who work in the ombusdman’s office and deal with shifting more as the times change. There will also be a focus on how race, gender, sex, class and feminism are affected by the changing times.

Cummings and Daniels will also be executive producers of “Good People,” and Daniels will direct the pilot episode.
In fact, he shared news of the pilot Monday on Instagram but also brought up “Star,” as if he anticipated a lot of questions about it.

“The comeBack comes to me!!!!,” wrote Daniels. “So excited to have #lisakudrow aboard #goodpeople … Oh and I have not forgotten about #star.”

This prompted fans to respond.
“okay because we ain’t letting it go 😂❤️.”
“Yyyeess congratulations and thanks for not forgetting about star. “
“Okay well hurry up with star updates … thanks. “
And he doubled down on that promise after someone wrote, “Soooooo, can we have star back or nah.”
“Yes,” the director responded.
A lot of fans expressed utter sadness when news of “Star” being canceled came on May 10, and the following day Daniels mentioned how hurt the cast and crew were.
“To our die hard @staronfox fans please know this was not of my doing. Our cast and crew are 💔,” he wrote.

Plus, it was revealed that Daniels flew the “Star” cast to Los Angeles for a skating party after the show was canceled. He also paid for their flights and hotels out of his pocket, according to Page Six.
“Cross fingers that you see us again, and if you don’t you’ll see us in your dreams,” he said in a clip that showed the party. Queen Latifah, who was also on the show, is in the video as well.
For now, Daniels hasn’t given any other updates on “Good People” or what his exact plans for “Star” will be.

The Fox drama followed the story of three young women trying to make it in the often ruthless, always competitive music industry.


#NewMusic from Eric Benet – ‘Can’t Stop’
It’s always exciting when you get new music from Eric Benet, especially when it’s unexpected. The new song is called “Can’t Stop” and from what we can tell it’s a previously unreleased song from much earlier in his career.

The cover art for the single shows that this is from the “Warner Archives”, with Warner being the label that Benet was a part of for his first few albums until 2004. The sound of the album does indeed match up to a late 90’s early 00’s vibe so it could easily be a leftover from his second album “A Day in the Life” or the previously unreleased “Better and Better”.

LISTEN HERE

Can’t Stop” is a pretty good listen. Eric Benet never lets us down!


#HipHopNews: Tyler, The Creator’s ‘Igor’ Album Debuts At No. 1, Has Biggest First Week Of Career
Tyler, The Creator has scored his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with Igor.
The latest LP from the Odd Future rapper pushed 165,000 equivalent album units according to Nielsen SoundScan, reports The New York Times. Of that total, 74,000 were traditional album sales. The LP also totaled 122.9 million streams. This is Tyler's first No. 1 album. The 12-song offering features guest vocals from Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti on the single "Earfquake," and more.

Tyler's previous albums have done solid numbers but have failed to reach the peak. 2017's Flower Boy peaked at No. 2 with 106,000 total units. Cherry Bomb premiered at No. 4 with 58K. Wolf debuted at No. 3 (89,000), while his debut Goblin scored a No. 5 launch (45,000).

Tyler celebrated his latest accomplishment on Twitter with the post, "IGOR, NUMBER UNO, STANK YOU."
He added, "Honestly didnt think people would enjoy this album based on alot of thing, so again, thank you, i mean it...Alot alot of effort put into this. not that that should dictate if people like it or not but im happy all that time and attention paid off."

DJ Khaled's Father of Asahd album was able to grab the No. 2 spot. The 11th LP from the We The Best boss moved 136,000 equivalent units, of which 34,000 came from traditional album sales. FOA was able to out-stream Igor with 123.2 million. Khaled's new release boasts features from Jay-Z, Cardi B, Lil Wayne, Future, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Post Malone, Travis Scott, Nipsey Hussle via the single "Higher," and many others.

Tyler thanked his fans on Twitter.


Crazed Man kills two in Japan stabbing that injures 16 schoolgirls, police say
TOKYO (Reuters) - A schoolgirl and an adult man were killed and 16 other young girls injured in a stabbing at a bus stop outside Tokyo on Tuesday, Japanese national broadcaster NHK cited authorities as saying, and another man detained at the scene also later died.
The girls, aged between 6 ands 12, were students at a private Catholic school in Kawasaki city, south of Tokyo, and were boarding their school bus when the suspect attacked them, according to NHK.

The driver of the Caritas Elementary School bus told police he saw a man approach the bus stop and start slashing at people, holding a knife in both hands, the broadcaster said.
Police said an 11-year-old girl and a 39-year-old man were killed. NHK said the man was likely the father of one of the children, while another woman was severely injured along with the 16 other schoolgirls who were hurt.

A suspect was detained at the scene after stabbing himself in the neck but died later, NHK cited police as saying. It said the man, a Kawasaki resident probably in his 50s, was unconscious when he was detained.
The motive for the attack was not yet clear but there were no immediate fears of a wider security threat. There have been previous examples of mass stabbings in Japan, sometimes involving the vulnerable.
In an apparently unrelated incident, a police officer shot a man who approached him with a knife in his hand in a town north of Tokyo, Kyodo news agency reported. The man was taken to hospital but no other details were available.

The attack occurred on the final day of U.S. President Donald Trump's four-day state visit to Japan.
"On behalf of the First Lady and myself, I want to take a moment to send our prayers and sympathy to the victims of the stabbing attack this morning," Trump said as he toured Japan's largest warship, the Kaga.

"All Americans stand with the people of Japan and grieve for the victims and for their families," he said.

'FRIGHTENED AND SHOCKED'
TV footage showed scores of police officers and emergency vehicles at the crime scene, with large areas cordoned off.
A witness told NHK he saw people lying on the ground covered in blood and one police officer was seen hosing down the sidewalk.
"I saw a boy carrying a school bag with scratches on his face, wrist and legs in a parking lot," NHK quoted an unidentified witness as saying.

"He was visibly trembling - frightened and shocked."
The girls' school is located just over a kilometre from the scene of the attack, NHK said.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe described the attack as "extremely harrowing" and promised to step up efforts to secure the safety of children commuting to and from school.
Two children were killed and a dozen injured in western Japan earlier this month after a car involved in an accident with another vehicle skidded into a nursery school group out for a walk with their teachers.

Violent crime is relatively rare in Japan but occasional high-profile incidents have shocked the nation.
A knife-wielding man broke into a facility for the disabled in a small town near Tokyo in 2016 and killed 19 patients in their sleep. In 2001, eight children were stabbed to death by a former janitor at their school in Osaka.
More than a dozen people were injured in a 2010 stabbing spree on a school bus and a commuter bus in a Tokyo suburb.


Serena Williams Makes a Statement with Empowering Attire for Her Return to the French Open
Serena Williams arrived at the 2019 French Open making another fashion statement, a year after wearing the black catsuit that was banned from the tennis court.
Upon arrival to the Roland Garros stadium in Paris, the mother of one sported a jacket that read the words “Champion,” “Queen,” “Goddess,” and “Mother” in French.

For her match against Russian opponent Vitalia Diatchenko, Williams, 37, wore a matching two-piece ensemble from a Nike collaboration with designer Virgil Abloh.
The tennis pro gave a sneak peek of the look on Sunday, posting a series of black-and-white photos to her Instagram.
 “Let the Roland Garros begin. Here is my French Open look designed by @virgilabloh and @nike,” she captioned the photos, which highlighted the crop top, skirt, and jacket.
Last year, the 23-time Grand Slam winner turned heads in an Abloh-designed all-black catsuit that she said made her feel like a “queen from Wakanda.”

“I feel like a warrior in it,” the tennis champ told reporters last May. Not only was the outfit a fashion statement, but a benefit to Williams’ health.
“I’ve had a lot of problems with my blood clots, God I don’t know how many I’ve had in the past 12 months,” she said last year after giving birth to daughter Alexis Olympia the prior September. “I’ve been wearing pants, in general, a lot when I play so I can keep the blood circulation going.”
However, the French Tennis Federation did not approve of Williams’ French Open outfit last year, and in August chose to introduce a new dress code.
“I think that sometimes we’ve gone too far,” said French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli to the Associated Press at the time. “It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place.”
Williams responded to the ban as gracefully as a queen.
“I feel like if and when, or if they know that some things are for health reasons, then there’s no way that they wouldn’t be okay with it,” she told reporters later that August. “So I think it’s fine. The president of the French Federation, he’s been really amazing. He’s been so easy to talk to. My whole team is basically French, so, yeah, we have a wonderful relationship.”

The ban hasn’t stopped Williams from slaying the fashion scene — or the tennis court.

Meek Mill Was Allegedly Denied Entry to the Cosmopolitan Hotel Because of a Previous Fight with Security?
Meek Mill and his lawyer claim the rapper was denied entry to the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas over the weekend because of racism, but sources connected to the hotel say it was actually because of a previous fight with security.
TMZ broke the story … Meek rolled up to the hotel Saturday and was ordered to stay in his car and drive away … or else he’d be arrested.

Meek’s celebrity lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told TMZ, Meek is part of a long list of African-American rappers who were blacklisted from certain Vegas hotels. Tacopina has threatened the hotel with a lawsuit unless it apologizes, and STAT.
Cosmopolitan officially had nothing to say about the incident and did not issue an apology, but the Cosmo source says there was a prior incident where Meek was at the hotel and “fought with security guards.” The source claims Meek became persona non grata for that reason.

Tacopina told TMZ, “We have learned that the Cosmopolitan maintains a list of African American recording artists who should be denied access for no other reason than their culture and skin color.”
Meek’s lawyer issued a follow-up statement to counter the Cosmo source’s claims.

“The racist hole that they [Cosmopolitan] have dug for themselves has just gotten deeper. Yesterday, when this incident unfolded, the chief security guard could not articulate a reason why Meek was denied entry and threatened with arrest. They’ve now come up with some fabricated claim through an anonymous source that Meek was involved in a fight on their property. Meek Mill was never involved in a fight on their property, ever and I challenge the Cosmopolitan to produce a video of such altercation or a contemporaneous incident report. The legal case against the Cosmopolitan just got stronger.”

We’ll see how this plays out…


Wendy Williams, son Kevin Jr. attend snack expo in Chicago after his arrest
Wendy Williams and her son Kevin Hunter, Jr. flew to Chicago, Ill. to attend the Sweets & Snacks Expo on Wednesday.
A rep for the convention confirmed to Page Six on Thursday that Kevin Jr. was with his mom at the event, just hours after he was released from jail for allegedly punching his father, Kevin Hunter.

The rep tells Page Six Kevin Jr. did not participate in any events and was solely a guest of his mom's, as she was there representing the brand Candy Pop - which was a sponsor of the soon-to-be-dissolved Hunter Foundation.
As Page Six reported, Kevin Jr. was arrested after his father put him in a headlock in a store parking lot in West Orange, New Jersey. A source told Page Six he spent less than an hour behind bars before being released from custody.


#NewCoupleAlert Tasha Smith and Michael K Williams?
MARCUSSSS!! Actress Tasha Smith, 48, reveals the affection she has for former, ‘The Wire’ actor Michael K. Williams, 52. Over the weekend, the pair share a sweet poolside photo, as they spend Memorial Day together in Atlanta. While Smith doesn’t define their speculated relationship, she states just how much Williams means to her. She writes,

“Nothing makes me happier!!!! The love of my life. This man gives me goose bumps!!!!”
After posting, in her comments several took in her new found happiness with comments of support including singers Sevyn Streeter, and Faith Evans. Fellow ‘Why Did I get Married,’ actress, Jill Scott wrote, ”Well alllll right!”
In addition, Williams adds his own spin on the Memorial Day celebration posting a happy moment between the two, he honors their relationship as real in his caption writing,
“The love is real.”
In a recent interview last month, Smith opens up on dating after being married and twice divorced. She says she isn’t putting any pressure on anyone while dating loosely.

“I’m just enjoying my life as a woman and dating. I’m not putting pressure on myself when it comes to dating and I’m not putting pressure on anyone else. I may not necessarily say, ‘hey, you gotta stop dating other people’ because guess what? I don’t know if you and I are going to work out. So we can date loosely and we can get to know each other.”
On being married again, Smith also says,
“I’m open to marriage, but it’s not on the forefront of what I need to have right now. I’m just dating openly, and I’m probably the perfect person to date because I’m not into putting any pressure on you or myself.”

#RIP Daniel Wright- 'Biggest Loser' Contestant Dies at 30
Daniel Wright, a former contestant on The Biggest Loser has died this week after a battle with cancer. He was 30-years-old.
Daniel – who competed on the seventh season of NBC’s weight-loss reality series back in 2009 – passed away on Sunday morning (May 26) from leukemia, several of his Biggest Loser costars confirmed on social media.
“I am so so heartbroken to hear about Daniel Wright this morning. He has fought SO HARD during his battle with cancer & more,” former contestant Courtney Crozier Respess wrote on Facebook. “This man is one of the kindest people I have ever met & is a true difference maker in this world!”
Daniel was married to fellow Biggest Loser contestant Rebecca Meyer Wright. He was first diagnosed with leukemia in October 2017 and had returned to work to regain some normalcy before he relapsed with a more severe case of leukemia in December 2018.
Amid his health struggle, Rebecca would often give updates on her Facebook page.
Rebecca‘s most recent post was on May 24, where she explained that her husband was undergoing treatment after noticing blood in his vomit.

Our thoughts are with Rebecca and the rest of Daniel‘s loved ones during this difficult time.

Kelly Clarkson almost takes a tumble in $2K dress
Kelly Clarkson had a bit of a misstep on Sunday. The pop star, 37, attended the Indianapolis 500 over the weekend where she performed the national anthem. But as she was making her way to the stage, the “Stronger” singer almost took a serious tumble after tripping over something obscured by the event’s red carpet.
The “American Idol” alum had a great sense of humor about the moment, however, retweeting the video of her trip and writing, “Best part of my day is always revealing to people that might not know how utterly not cool I am. That damn crack was hidden by the carpet man!”

It didn’t help that Clarkson was wearing a long, flowing, star-spangled Temperley London wrap dress ($1,948) and some seriously high platform sandals.

WATCH

Thankfully, she quickly regained her composure, mouthing “I’m OK” to the crowd and giving a quick curtsy, before knocking her performance out of the park.

Social Media Goes In On Houston’s 97.9 The Box Over SHADING Rapper Trae Tha Truth Despite Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts
Beyoncé visited her hometown of #Houston, TX to provide some relief for residents who were affected by #HurricaneHarvey. So did ICON Janet Jackson but one of the people Bey passed out food with was Houston rapper #TraeThaTruth. Our Houston Roommates tell us that he goes out of his way to do so much for his community, but he is over looked by local radio station #979TheBox.

The station, which is the biggest for hip hop and R&B, put a ban on the rapper’s music back in 2010 after a shooting occurred at his annual #TraeDay event. It was proven that he wasn’t connected to the shooting in any way, however, the station allegedly decided to boycott Trae and anyone who associated with him. Since then, they haven’t played any of his music and don’t celebrate any of the good things that he does for Houston. Trae later filed a lawsuit in retaliation.
As for the Hurricane Harvey relief he’s done for the last two weeks, Trae has performed rescue missions, fed people and donated money, toiletries, clothes and other essentials. Despite what many onlookers believe, celebrities like #TI, #CharlamagneThaGod, #BunB’s wife Angela Walls as well as Houston locals are not upset that Beyoncé has received. tons of recognition for her efforts yesterday, rather they are disappointed that the radio station is choosing not to let go of a simple misunderstanding.

The ban has stifled Trae’s career and Houstonians don’t believe that it’s fair to him. “Trae does so much for our community and its just not fair that his career can’t reach the level of success we all want it to,” one of our Roommates tells us.

#HORRIFIC! Teen From Chicago Found Dead In Walk-In Freezer At Rosemont Hotel.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to  Kenneka Jenkins’ family right now.  Pray that they find the murder.
According to reports, Kenneka Jenkins was discovered after an hours-long search and was pronounced dead at 12:48 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Jenkins’ mother, Tereasa Martin, said police told her Jenkins apparently let herself into the freezer while inebriated and died inside. An autopsy was performed Sunday but it wasn’t immediately clear whether foul play was suspected, according to Becky Schlikerman, spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office.
The cause and manner of the teen’s death remained undetermined.
Speaking to reporters outside the hotel Sunday morning, Martin said she was having trouble understanding what happened.

“(I’m) horrified,” she said. “It’s something that no one could ever imagine. It’s unbelievable.”


KeKe Wyatt’s Husband Speaks Out

Keke Wyatt’s husband, Michael Jamar, is speaking out amidst reports that he’s requested a divorce from his wife.

He said:
For over seven years I have been Keke’s husband, backbone, friend, confidant, and support system. I have loved, raised, supported, and cared for every child in our family (biological or not), including our son who is currently battling leukemia. I will continue to be that person and do all of these things, but I will not be her husband.
Hinting to what may have ended their marriage, he says, I can no longer allow our children to live in a toxic environment and, because I love Keke, I can no longer accept toxic behavior. A home should be a refuge of peace from the inequity and harshness of the world. Keke is much stronger than she gives herself credit for and she is a great mother. There is a healing that needs to take place and I have faith that it will happen. There is never a good time for a family to deal with harsh realities, but as long as we keep God first we have to know that our battle has already been won. Now, as our family deals with these realities I humbly ask that you please keep us lifted in prayer, and when you comment please keep our children in mind.

As previously reported, earlier this week, Keke Wyatt posted an emotional video claiming that her husband requested a divorce while she was 8 months pregnant.
KeKe Wyatt and Michael Jamar married in 2010. KeKe revealed that she is currently pregnant with her ninth child.

Well I hope this all be worked out amicably!


Denzel Washington Comes To The Toronto Film Festival And Immediately Creates New Oscar Buzz For ‘Roman J. Israel, Esq’
Count Denzel Washington back in the Best Actor Oscar race — again. The two-time winner for Best Actor in Training Day and Best Supporting Actor in Glory has actually been nominated seven times, most recently last year for Fences where he also earned an eighth nomination as producer of the Best Picture nominee. Washington also won the SAG award for that film, the first time he grabbed that trophy. You can count on him to be in contention again for both with his riveting character turn in the title role in Roman J. Israel, Esq.

 Sony Pictures sprang the movie on the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday night, a last minute booking at the Ryerson in a move clearly designed to make a statement and stake a claim in this season’s nascent awards race. Judging by audience response and buzz afterwards, the film, written and directed by Dan Gilroy, was a hit — even if it feels a bit long at 133 minutes, and certainly will be a prestige entry when Sony releases it on a platform basis starting November 3rd.
As a defense attorney with strong 60’s activist-bred idealistic driven beliefs, Washington creates a more unique look than ever before for this character (he even took the caps off his teeth for the first time). It is the kind of part that is catnip for the Academy’s actors branch and Washington can be assured of a place in the race. In fact, even though the season is still young, he could end up posing the most serious threat to presumed front runner Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour which had its World Premiere last weekend in Telluride and turns up tomorrow night in Canada.


A Dallas Cowboys watch party turns deadly!
A Dallas Cowboys watch party in Texas turned deadly Sunday night — with seven people being gunned down in cold blood by man who barged in with an “automatic” weapon, reports say.
The shooter, who was later killed by police, had been arguing with a woman outside the Plano home where the gathering was taking place before he allegedly went inside and started blasting, according to witnesses.
“I seen a man argue with a woman. They were standing outside and they’re arguing,” local resident Crystal Sugg told FOX 4.

“The woman was trying to go back in and as she was going back in the house you seen the man pull out his gun and starting just releasing,” she said. “He just started letting them go. It was an automatic. You could hear it go off multiple times, you could hear it just ring off.”
Several men who were at the residence for the Cowboys vs Giants watch party — and had just left to go to a bar — told FOX that there were a number of people still inside the house when the man burst in and opened fire at around 8 p.m.
Authorities from Plano, which is a suburb north of Dallas, rushed to the scene after receiving reports of multiple gunshots and found seven partygoers dead and two others wounded.

An officer who entered the home “engaged the suspect” — shooting and killing him — after he reportedly took aim at the cop.
“I’ve been here all my life,” Plano police spokesman David Tilley told The Dallas Morning News. “I’ve never heard of anything like this.”
Witnesses reported hearing 30 to 40 shots coming from the house during the shooting. It is not clear, though, if this included the bullets being fired by police officers.
“My neighbor had already heard the first couple of shots, and we came outside and next thing you know, all you heard was like, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” Steven Featherland told FOX.

“It was like 30 to 40 rounds,” he said. “That’s when we both went inside.”
Police have not given a motive for the shooting or confirmed the details about the Dallas watch party. But several people have said they were either in attendance or knew someone who was.
“We’re trying to put all the puzzle pieces together,” Tilley said.
Sugg told FOX that she was one of several residents who saw the suspect arguing with the woman before the shooting unfolded.
“The argument is what brought me outside,” she said, adding that others came out to see what was happening.

“The argument was about a good ten minutes,” Sugg explained. “You could hear it getting really really loud. You could tell it was getting disturbing, like there was something about to happen. It caused people to come outside.”
Suggs recalled how partygoers appeared to be trapped inside the home, like fish in a barrel.
“I heard a lot of screaming,” she said. “A lot, a lot of screaming…Nobody was running…All you heard was just shooting. Just shooting. Just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.”

OMG!😢


AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
The Bathing Suit
I’m just trying to think of a point in my life where I was in a bathing suit and then needed to go to Walmart. Like would you be on your way to the pool and realize you need some new shoes? Perhaps right after you’re done taking a dip is when you want to stop by as you head home? Just a total lack of preparation either way.
