#RHoA: Kyle Richards Doesn’t Think Kim Zolciak Is Racist; Would Welcome Her On Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
Kyle Richards Doesn’t Think Kim Zolciak Is Racist; Would Welcome Her On Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
Even though most of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast has turned against Kim Zolciak after her behavior this past season and her post-reunion rant, the same can’t be said for Real Housewives of different cities.

NeNe Leakes may want nothing to do with Kim, but Beverly Hills Housewife Kyle Richards would welcome the OG Atlanta cast member to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The TMZ cameras caught up with Kyle and a paparazzo asked, “Do you think Kim Zolciak is racist for saying NeNe Leakes’ house is a roach fest?” Kyle answered, “Oh my gosh. I do not think she’s racist. I do not.” A few seconds later the Beverly Hills Housewife said, “I don’t think she is…no.”

Kyle added, “You guys always get me in trouble so I’m scared to say anything”- especially when it comes to this controversial topic. The paparazzo asked, “Now that she’s not on Real Housewives of Atlanta, would you like to see her on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?”

Kyle didn’t immediately answer the question, but she did admit that she enjoys watching the Biermann family on Don’t Be Tardy. Kyle shared, “I love watching her on her show with her kids and her family. Yeah.”
Kyle also copped to watch the Atlanta Season 10 reunion when she admitted, “That reunion was actually really brutal, but I’m friends with NeNe. I’m friends with Kim.” She emphasized, “It was actually brutal to watch.”
TMZ pushed, “What if she came to your show though?” Kyle said, “We would welcome Kim Zolciak on Beverly Hills, for sure.” I would love to see Kim at an event with Dorit Kemsley and Lisa Vanderpump.

Kim would use the incorrect glassware for sure, but maybe Kim and Dorit could bond over their shared love for wigs. I can’t picture Kim and Lisa riding horses together, but I feel like the wine-lover would enjoy drinking some Vanderpump Rosé. I just can’t help feeling like that wouldn’t go over well. Then again, almost anything would be better than this current season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I support any changes to this cast.

Do You Think Kim Be A Good Addition To Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills?


#Empire' Recap: A Major Player Gets Murdered In 'A Lean And Hungry Look'
Shifty, shady and conniving. That's a good way to sum up this week's "A Lean and Hungry Look" episode of Empire. Once again the family is pushed to the precipice as Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) decides to murder a longtime friend and have Thirsty take care of the body. 

In a shocking and completely bogus chain of events, Lucious orders the death of Shyne (Xzibit) and just like that one of the most popular characters of the show is written off. This is surprising, especially considering how Shyne had Lucious' back during the hostile takeover situation created by Eddie (Forest Whitaker).  Then again, to hear Lucious tell it, Shyne had it coming since he already tried to take Lucious out. This is also shocking because Shyne is just so thuggish yet likeable. Xhibit's performances brought nuance to the show. In any event, Thirsty ratted out Shyne's murderous shenanigans from season 3, with the killing of Giuliana. Lucious also didn't appreciate Shyne's "ear hustling" during a private conversation held in the studio where Shyne apparently overheard a little too much while Cookie, Thirsty and Lucious talked about how to keep Eddie out of the business for good. We also got one last good listen to Shyne freestyle in an outro of all outros.

Lucious killed Shyne in a manner befitting a double agent. Lucious lured Shyne to a private air hangar to help deal with Eddie, but Eddie never arrives. Instead Lucious starts waxing poetic about loyalty and friends who lie in your face. Shyne looks uncomfy but plays along until a gun is pulled on him. Shyne pulls his own gun out. But the third gunman, who was rolling with Lucious, wins the game. Shyme is shot several times while Lucious leers.

The icing on this cake of sinister intentions was Lucious' explanation of what he would do with the last known mixtape of the popular producer: sell it for extreme profits. In retrospect, maybe Shyne should not have cracked jokes on Lucious ascots.

The Cars' Ric Ocasek and Wife Paulina Porizkova Announce Split After 28 Years of Marriage
After 28 years of marriage, The Cars’ former frontman, Ric Ocasek and wife, Paulina Porizkova have decided to call it quits.
On Wednesday, the former supermodel shared on social media – with plenty of car and transportation metaphors – that the couple, who wed in August 1989, have been “peacefully separated for the past year.”
“Our family always has been — and still is — a well-built car,” Porizkova wrote in an Instagram post.
“When the four of us are together, we can go wherever the road takes us. But as a bicycle, my husband and I no longer pedal in unison. So we’re ditching the bicycle,” she continued.
 “Ric and I have been peacefully separated for the past year,” added Porizkova. “The photos of our happy family are, in fact, happy family photos; we are just no longer a couple.”
The Czech-born actress, 53, went on to talk about the love that she and Ocasek, 74, still have for each other. (The pair first met while filming the music video for The Cars’ song “Drive” in 1984.)

“The love we have for one another is so wide and deep it’s practically tangible, and that sort of love can never disappear,” she shared. “Expect to keep seeing happy family photos.”
“As I’m sure you can understand, out of respect for our children and each other, we’ll not be commenting further (here or elsewhere) at this time,” Porizkova concluded the post.

Last month, the estranged couple —  who have two adult sons together, Jonathan and Oliver — showed a united front at Ocasek’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in Cleveland, Ohio.


Traci Braxton Still Doesn’t Know The Reason She Was Booted From Toni’s Tour.
Back in March, Toni’s sisters Tamar and Traci Braxton were supposed to be opening for the ‘Sex and Cigarettes’ tour but Traci has been cut from the roster.
Traci has been recording songs for her upcoming album and had hoped to perform on tour but now she’ll have to make other plans to promote her music.

Traci Braxton does NOT know the reason she was dropped from the tour.
In a recent interview Traci tells V 103 radio station at the 5:57 mark.

Traci says, “You know what God is good all the time… Look you’re guess is as good as mine. Traci says she wasn’t mad when Toni kicked her off the tour.  Traci responds, “Why should I? Maybe it wasn’t for me doing that time.

American Idol’ Contestant Says Unfair Voting System Caused Him to be Eliminated, Fans Agree
Singer Dennis Lorenzo was eradicated from Sunday night’s competition on “American Idol” and said the reason could be based on a technical error.
Lorenzo was the last performance of the night during the Disney-themed episode and received a loud applause for his “Lion King” rendition “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” but the 26-year-old was unfortunately eliminated.

“People toward the end [of the competition] were a little worried because they were like ‘are people going to have enough time to vote for me’ and there’s me,” the singer told TMZ (watch here)

He continued, “The producers let us know that they ran many tests and they’d made sure it was fair… And when you’re in a position like this you trust them.”

The Philadelphia resident explained that several people came to him complaining that the voting polls were closed a few minutes after his performance and said they weren’t able to vote for him. Lorenzo exclaimed that it sounded like a “technical error” on the producer’s part.

People agreed with the “American Idol” contestant on social media and concurred that there was only a small window of voting time

Fans Rally Behind Janelle Monae After ‘Voice’ Performance Deemed Too Sexy for Family Television
A lot of folks said Janelle Monae was way too sexy for family, prime time television after she performed her new cut “Make Me Feel” on NBC’S “The Voice” on Monday (May 1).
Others, however, came to her defense and called those same people hypocritical since Monae hasn’t been the first to display sexuality on the show.

Much of the backlash surrounding the singer’s performance had to do with what she wore, black and pink leotard bottoms with a loose fitting white jacket — her backup dancers sported the same. People were bothered by Monae’s dance moves as well when she gyrated on the floor during the song.

“Isn’t this supposed to be a family show? one viewer asked. “That performance by Janelle Monae was anything but. Can’t we have a performance without thrusting sex in our faces. Can’t we at least try? Younger kids watch this show for goodness sakes. Disappointing for sure. Do better.”
 “The dancers with bare rears were doing a routine you’d see in a strip bar,” another person tweeted. “I wish they’d stay a bit more family friendly.”

It’s safe to assume that NBC wants “The Voice” to be a family show considering its 8:00 p.m. time slot, but when others wore sexy outfits and were a little risqué it didn’t cause much of a wave.

For example, in 2012 Christina Aguilera performed in a black bustier with shorts that could be classified as bikini bottoms or underwear. Aguilera’s dancers wore the same thing, just like Monae’s dancers matched her outfit.

In that same performance, Aguilera came out with two bare chested men who played the roles of male strippers, but it wasn’t called inappropriate and she wasn’t criticized at all. And that could be the reason why a lot of people stuck up for Monae.

“Yeah, because that show has never had it’s female dancers wear sexy outfits, right? Stop the hypocrisy,” one person tweeted.
“Wow, do you clutch your pearls and catch the vapors every time your kids go to the pool/beach?” another person wrote. “There was way less skin shown during that performance than someone wearing a swimsuit.”

Monae hasn’t responded to the backlash.


Justin Timberlake Accused of Deceiving Consumers in Class Action Lawsuit Over Bai Brands Beverages
Justin Timberlake is being sued as part of a class action lawsuit against Bai claiming the beverage company deceived consumers by saying their drinks are all-natural when they actually are not.  A California-based man named Kevin Branca filed suit last month against Bai Brands, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Dr. Pepper president Larry Young and Bai founder Ben Weiss. The original lawsuit did not name Timberlake as a defendant, but an amended complaint filed earlier this week added him.
According to the lawsuit, Bai’s labeling is false and misleading, saying they contain only natural ingredients and are flavored only with natural ingredients when they actually contain undisclosed artificial flavors in violation of state and federal law.

The suit says all the products contain a synthetic chemical flavoring compound identified as “malic acid,” which is an inexpensive synthetic chemical used in processed food products to make the taste like tangy fresh fruit.
Timberlake came on board as an investor in 2016, according to Fortune. He has the title of Chief Flavor Officer of Bai Brands and said at the time, “This partnership was created from a shared desire to help people put better ingredients in their bodies without sacrificing taste.”
According to the lawsuit, Justin Timberlake’s “monetary assistance, creative inputs and marketing of Bai helped elevate the better-for-you and name-recognition of the brand.”

The lawsuit claims Timberlake was a knowing participant in the alleged fraud, saying, “Defendant Bai and Defendant Timberlake knowingly entered into a single agreement and/or multiple agreements to commit fraud and other unlawful acts by agreeing to promote artificially flavored beverage products as if they were solely naturally flavored without synthetic chemical ingredients.”
Furthermore, the lawsuit claims “Timberlake aided this scheme by agreeing to promote the Products and their ingredients on a nationally aired commercial advertisement during the 2017 Super Bowl, which reached millions of consumers, which was an essential tool to carry out the fraudulent sales and marketing of the Bai Products.”

The suit is seeking an order requiring Bai Brands and Timberlake to disgorge any money received from the result of the improper and misleading labeling, advertising and marketing along with punitive damages.

Rapper Juelz Santana Indicted On Two Federal Firearms Charges
Rapper Juelz Santana was indicted Wednesday on two federal firearms charges after authorities said he brought a loaded .38-caliber Derringer to Newark Liberty International Airport.

According to reports, Authorities said James fled the airport as his bag was going through the security screening.
The indictment, which prosecutors said was returned by the grand jury on Monday, charges James, whom the Associated Press reported has at least two felony convictions, with one count each of carrying a firearm on an aircraft and possessing a weapon as a previously convicted felon.

James is scheduled to be arraigned before U.S. District Judge Stanley R. Chesler on May 10, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

James is currently free on electronic monitoring with travel restrictions after posting a $500,000 bond on April 6, court records show.


‘A Different World’ Cast Reunites To Rehab 9 HBCU's!
If you attended an HBCU, it may have been because of the immense effect “A Different World” had on you. And even if that wasn’t the case, there are very few people on the planet that can say after watching just one episode about the fictional HBCU, they didn’t at least want to visit one. Now, members of the nostalgic cast have reunited to spread a little love to a few real life Historically Black Colleges & Universities that need it most.

Jasmine Guy,Kadeem Harrison, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell teamed up to announce up with Home Depot to announce the winners of their “Retool Your School” grant. In total, Nine HBCUs were given $360,000 in an effort to help rehab their campuses.
The HBCU that were awarded the grant include Jackson State University, Southern University and A&M College, Fayetteville State University, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Tuskegee University, Claflin University, Lane College, Livingstone College and Talladega College.

Congrats to all!


Rudy Giuliani Says Donald Trump Reimbursed Attorney For $130,000 Payment To Stormy Daniels
A new development has surfaced in the scandal between Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels. Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s lawyers, said that he repaid his attorney Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment made to Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public with her alleged affair with Trump.

RelatedFormer 'Apprentice' Contestant Issues Subpoena For Material From Reality Show In Trump Defamation...
Initially, Trump had said that he was not aware of the Cohen’s payment to Daniels. However, during Giuliani’s appearance on Fox News, he had a story that didn’t exactly match up with Trump’s or Cohen’s. Giuliani told Sean Hannity: “That was money that was paid by his lawyer, the president reimbursed that over the period of several months.” Giuliani said that the payment will turn out to be “perfectly legal” because the money used was not campaign money.
Despite revealing this information, Giuliani continued to talk up Trump and said, “This is our best president in my memory.”

This adds a new wrinkle in this ever-evolving scandal in which Daniels claimed to had sex with Trump in 2006. The allegations have since been denied by Trump. Cohen is currently under investigation after the F.B.I. raided his home last month and obtained information about the payment made to Daniels.

#RHoP: The Real Housewives Of Potomac Are Back With Shade, Messy Drive Bys & A New Housewife!
While Atlanta gets it things together. Lets talk about another set of Housewives. The Real Housewives of Potomac are back for their third season and they aren't short of any drama. The upcoming season if full of shade, relationship drama and whole lot of mess!
OG Housewives Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon & Ashley Darby are all back with their second season addition Monique Samuels and the new girl on the block Candice Dillard, a former Miss USA, who doesn't take shade from anyone.

It looks like Charrisse Jackson-Jordan got down graded to the dreaded "friend of" position, but maybe she can turn it around next season ala Countess Luann.

The main drama of the season is surrounding Karen's financial situation after reports came out claiming that her and the Black Bill Gates owed millions in debt and that is why they moved all the way out to Great Falls, but it looks like they don't even actually live there when the girls go on a drive by. The mess of it all!
There's also a tonne of relationship drama! Ashely and her grandpa of a husband are still working things out and her mama is making everything a little more difficult. Gizelle has a new boo Sherman and Robyn & Juan might be back together. YAS! Black Bill Gates also allegedly asked Karen for a divorce and the "Blue Eyes" rumours are still going strong! This season will be epic!

The mess has been taken up a couple notches this season with almost everyone cussing someone out. I have no idea who is even friends at this point and Monique wants to choke Karen with her umbrella. NOW THAT IS WHAT I WATCH HOUSEWIVES FOR! Beverly Hills, watch and learn because these Maryland ladies are coming for your diamonds!

Check out the shady third season trailer HERE

The Real Housewives Of Potomac premieres April 1st at 10/9c on Bravo!


#EMPIRE: Demi Moore playing a mysterious nurse on Empire season 4
Demi Moore has won millions of hearts with her roles in Hollywood hits like ‘Ghost’ and ‘Disclosure.’She has since joined her daughter Rumer Willis on the 4th season of ‘Empire.’
She plays the role of Nurse Claudia, a creepy nurse who helps Luscious with his recovery after the near-fatal explosion in last season’s finale.

The actress was offered a role in the early season, but she turned down the offer thinking that it wasn’t the right time personally, schedule-wise.

However, when her daughter Rumer was promoted to series regular for her role as singer Tory Ash, she loved the idea of being a part of the show.
Moore will be appearing in total eight episodes and says that she is so much excited to work on the same project her daughter is doing.

It’s not clear whether Claudia is playing a villainous or a positive role.
For now, she is seen as a caretaker of a man of color and is more invested in maintaining his innocence and keeping him pure in heart.

Moore may end up being one of this season’s villains.

#BOXOFFICENEWS: A Wrinkle in Time Came in second Place the Box office with an estimated $33.3 million! #AWIT
Disney's A Wrinkle in Time landed in second with an estimated $33.3 million over its opening weekend. The result is just below the $35 million the studio was expecting. Reasoning for the film's lackluster debut will most likely focus on Black Panther's continued dominance within the marketplace as well as the mixed reviews the film received heading into the weekend. Time will tell how well Wrinkle will be able to hold on over the coming weekends. I’m hoping it will still be a winner in the long run.

Internationally, A Wrinkle in Time debuted with $6.3 million in approximately 14% of the international marketplace. Leading the way was Russia with $4.1 million followed by Spain with $1 million. The film will debut in France this coming Wednesday followed by a release in the UK on March 23 with openings in Italy, Australia, Brazil and Mexico at the end of the month.

Weekend Box Office numbers are as follows below
1. Black Panther $41,136,000
2. A Wrinkle in Time $33,316,000
3. Strangers: Prey at Night $10,480,000
4. Red Sparrow Fox $8,150,000
5. Game Night $7,905,000
6. Peter Rabbit  $6,800,000
7. Death Wish (2018) $6,600,000
8. The Hurricane Heist $3,150,000
9. Annihilation $3,150,000
10. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle $2,755,000

Black Dominance is still winning!


There are some Social Media Beefs Over Over Bruno Mars Cultural Appropriation Debate!
Bruno Mars is at the center of a cultural appropriation debate. The singer’s name has been trending on social media after a video began circulating, in which the host argues that Mars is “100 percent a cultural appropriator” who “plays up his racial ambiguity to…cross genres.”

She goes on to claim that Mars is a “karaoke singer” who recreates “pre-existing work” without improving upon the original. “We want our black culture from non-black bodies,” she adds. “And Bruno Mars is like, ‘I’ll give it to you.'”

At least one version of the clip has garnered more than 421,000 views on Twitter, while the original video from The Grapevine has earned 27,000 views on YouTube.

The widespread criticism resulted in a debate about race, colorism, and appropriation, with some agreeing with the writer’s declaration, and many fighting back. “Bruno Mars is literally the LEAST problematic musician out here and y’all want to bash him for making Bops that everyone and their grandma can dance to?” asked one Twitter user. “I mean all that energy can be used for calling out ACTUAL culture vultures.”

Another added: “Y’all are just trying to find reasons to hate Bruno Mars.. if he’s not your cup of tea then he’s not your cup of tea but to say that he isn’t talented and appropriates black culture to validate your argument is wack.. just say you don’t like him and move on.”

The Hawaiian-born Mars has been open about his race in the past. His mother’s heritage can be traced back to the Philippines and Spain, while his father is Puerto Rican and Jewish. “There are a lot of people who have this mixed background that are in this gray zone,” he explained during an interview with Latina in 2017. “A lot of people think, ‘This is awesome. You’re in this gray zone, so you can pass for whatever the hell you want.’ But it’s not like that at all. It’s actually the exact opposite. What we’re trying to do is educate people to know what that feels like so they’ll never make someone feel like that ever again. Which is a hard thing to do. Because no one can see what we see and no one can grow up with what we grew up with. I hope people of color can look at me, and they know that everything they’re going through, I went through. I promise you.”

During that same interview, Bruno opened up about his respect for “black music.” “When you say ‘black music,’ understand that you are talking about rock, jazz, R&B, reggae, funk, doo-wop, hip-hop, and Motown,” he said at the time. “Black people created it all. Being Puerto Rican, even salsa music stems back to the Motherland [Africa]. So, in my world, black music means everything. It’s what gives America its swag.”

“I’m a child raised in the ’90s. Pop music was heavily rooted in R&B from Whitney, Diddy, Dr. Dre, Boyz II Men, Aaliyah, TLC, Babyface, New Edition, Michael, and so much more,” he added. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for these artists who inspired me. They have brought me so much joy and created the soundtrack to my life filled with memories that I’ll never forget.”

This is a NON ISSUE That Man is true to this!


#RIHANNAMANIA: Rihanna Becomes First Female Artist To Cross 2 Billion Streams On Apple Music
She’s continues to keep winning. On International Women’s Day, Rihanna reached a new milestone, becoming the first woman ever to cross the 2 billion worldwide streams plateau on Apple Music.

As previously reported, Bad Gal is also the most-streamed woman on the platform, beating out Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, who nabbed the second and third place slots, respectively.

The pop queen’s impressive discography has helped her reach this major milestone. Some of her top songs on Apple Music include DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts,” Kendrick Lamar’s “LOYALTY.,” Drake’s “Too Good,” and her own singles “Sex With Me,” “Needed Me,” and “Work” featuring Drake.
Rihanna has earned major rewards for her work, even outside of the Apple Music distinctions. Recently, it was revealed that she leads the Recording Industry Association of America’s Top Artists (Digital Singles) list with 121 million certified units. She also has eight Grammys to her name out of 33 nominations.

RiRi’s reach goes beyond music as well. Her Fenty x Puma Spring/Summer 2018 collection is set to drop on Thursday (March 15), while her Feny Beauty collection is on pace to outsell lines by Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian.

The 30-year-old mogul is now prepping the launch of her very own lingerie line, according to recent reports. Plus, she’s already raised $2.3 billion for global education.

NBC New York reports: Santana, whose real name is LaRon Louis James, was going through the screening at Terminal C about 6 p.m. when sources said agents discovered the firearm.

Kimora Lee Simmons had a Death Threat Written On a Bathroom Stall
OMG! Police were alerted on Saturday when someone threatened to kill Kimora Lee Simmons in a note written on the bathroom stall of a movie theater.

TMZ reports: Law enforcement sources tell us a 911 call came in Saturday afternoon from a Cinemark Theater in LA. The 911 caller told the cops they found a threat directed at Kimora that read “your going to die, bye bye, 3/10/18, today” scribbled inside a stall. It’s unclear who discovered the message and alerted the police.

Our sources tell us Kimora was at the theater at the time for an event. She’s been doing charity work with organizations in South Central LA that involve taking kids to see the film “Wrinkle in Time“. It’s unclear if she left the theater once the writing on the stall was discovered.
The story is developing…

YES, There will be a ‘Black Panther’ Sequel…..When? No date given yet!
Marvel Studios has announced that the billion-dollar blockbuster Black Panther will get a sequel.
If Hollywood can make about 15 Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies — most of which were absolutely horrible but still made enough money to justify creating additional versions of the films — then of course they would do a follow up to a film that will probably gross over a billion dollars worldwide after the March 9-11 weekend.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige made it official when he was interviewed by “Entertainment Weekly.” Black Panther has become a cultural phenomenon that has shattered box office records and sits atop the list for a fourth consecutive week and, thus, will get a second film. But that’s as far as Feige will go as far as divulging any information.

“Nothing specific to reveal, other than to say we absolutely will do that,” Feige told EW. “One of the favorite pastimes at Marvel Studios is sitting around on a Part One and talking and dreaming about what we would do in a Part Two. There have been plenty of those conversations as we were putting together the first Black Panther. We have ideas and a pretty solid direction on where we want to head with the second one.”

No word yet on a potential release date, Feige said.

Black Panther disciples have calculated it would likely arrive in 2022, after a bunch of other Marvel films scheduled to premiere in the next four years. This bit of news comes as Black Panther has remarkably entered the Top 10 highest grossing films of all time, Box Office Mojo reports on Friday, Mar. 9 (And this total is for movies overall, not just Marvel or comic book-featured films).

With 1 Billion…YES you read that right has earned so far domestically, Ryan Coogler‘s film has landed in ninth place on the all-time list, and it also earns the title of the biggest domestic money maker from a Black director.

Also, amid fears of a Black-featured film playing well in the notoriously fickle movie audience in China, the Disney-Marvel Comic Universe film had grossed $9.87M, according to the China Box Office. That climbed to $18M by 7 p.m. At that point, Black Panther accounted for 57 percent of Friday’s gross revenues, ahead of big-budget patriotic documentary Amazing China, which came in second place with 19 percent.


'Black Ink: Chicago' Star Phor was ARRESTED!
"Black Ink: Chicago" star and rapper Phor Everim is in lock up in Indiana after getting arrested before hitting up a club last week.
While his Mercedes limo van rolled around Gary, there was reportedly tons of moke and loud music rolling out of the windows.  Of course, this caught cops' attention.  And they had questions.

According to the police report, the driver basically snitched about having a celebrity in the back.  Cops had zero F's to give about that fact and arrested everybody, especially since said driver had no license or registration for the vehicle.  TMZ reports:

The driver told the cop they were heading to a club in Gary, about 25 miles from Chicago, and said ... "Look bro, I have a celebrity in the back."
Unfortunately for Phor's crew, the cop didn't care, because the driver allegedly didn't have ID or registration for the vehicle and it stunk like weed ... so they were all taken into custody for weed-related offenses.

Phor explained that it could have been worse!


Lisa Bonet Speaks Out About Her TV Father, Bill Cosby – Claims “Sinister, Shadow Energy”
Lisa Bonet has commented for the first time on her television father, Bill Cosby, with whom she appeared in two of the most popular shows in the world.

Bill Cosby Defense Cites #MeToo Climate In Asking Judge To Keep Other Accusers From Testifying
Playing Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show at age 16, then joining its spinoff A Different World, Bonet told the Net-a-Porter website that she had no knowledge of Cosby’s predilections. “But…There was just energy. And that type of sinister, shadow energy cannot be concealed.”

Asked if she sensed a darkness, Bonet said, “Always. And if I had anything more to reveal, then it would have happened a long time ago. That’s my nature. The truth will set you free.”

Cosby is in pre-trial hearings in Pennsylvania for his sexual assault retrial. The 80-year-old comedian has been accused by multiple women of sexually assaulting them after drugging them. His first trial on those charges ended in a hung jury, and the retrial is expected to start in April.
