Dwayne Johnson for Rolling Stone! He Says He "Harbors No Ill Will" Against Vin Diesel Then Takes It Back!
Dwayne Johnson had one hell of a 2017, and if you thought he had any plans of slowing down this year, think again. The 45-year-old actor is Rolling Stone magazine's April issue cover star, and in the accompanying interview, Dwayne opened up about everything from his family to his feud with Vin Diesel to his potential run for the presidency. The magazine hits stands on April 6, but if you don't want to wait until then, read Dwayne's full interview here.
On his decades-long battle with depression: "I've had a few bouts of depression, [which] happens to a lot of us. Around 2008, 2009, I was going through a lot of personal sh*t that was really f*cking me up. I was just struggling, man; struggling to figure out what kind of dad am I gonna be, realizing I'd done a piss-poor job of cultivating relationships, and a lot of my friends had fallen by the wayside. I was just scared. Personally, everything was in a very bad and challenging place, and then professionally, I couldn't bet on myself; I wasn't used to that. I'd always felt like I could put in the work and fix the scenario with my own two hands. No one's going to see me play a borderline psychopath suffering from depression. I have friends I admire, Oscar winners, who approach our craft with the idea of 'Sometimes it comes out a little darker and nobody will see it, but it's for me.' Great, but I have other things I can do for me. I'm gonna take care of you, the audience. You pay your hard-earned money — I don't need to bring my dark sh*t to you. Maybe a little, but if it's in there, we're gonna overcome it."
On whether he's actually running for president: "Look, people are very excited, and it's so flattering that they're excited. I think it's also a function of being very unsatisfied with our current president, but this is a skill set that requires years and years of experience on a local level, on a state level, and then on a national level. I have the utmost respect for our country and that position, and I'm not delusioned in any way to think, 'Oh, absolutely, if [Donald] Trump can do it, I can do it, and I'll see you in 20-whatever, get ready.' Not at all. In a lot of people's minds, what Trump has proved is that anybody can run for president, and in a lot of people's minds, what he's also proved is that not everybody should run for president. What I'm sensing now is that we have to pivot back to people who have a deep-rooted knowledge of American history and politics and experience in policy and how laws get made. I think that pivot has to happen."
On what he and girlfriend Lauren Hashian plan on naming their new baby: "We're thinking about Tia. It's simple, it's Polynesian-ish, and I feel like she might come out looking like a Tia," Lauren said. "I mean, she could come out any which way, because we're complete opposites."
"It was funny — we were having dinner with Emily Blunt, who I'm getting ready to work with [on Disney's Jungle Cruise], and I said, 'What do you think of Tia?'" Dwayne added. "She went, 'No one's gonna f*ck with a Tia Johnson.'"
On his feud with Fast and Furious costar Vin Diesel: "We were not in any scenes together [in The Fate of the Furious]. Vin and I had a few discussions including an important face-to-face in my trailer. What I came to realize is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach movie-making and collaborating. It took me some time, but I'm grateful for that clarity. Whether we work together again or not. Right now, I'm concentrating on making the [Hobbs and Shaw] spinoff as good as it can be, but I wish him all the best and I harbor no ill will there just because of the clarity we have. Actually, you can erase that last part about no ill will. We'll just keep it with the clarity."
RHoA: Sheree Whitfield answers your questions about Her Prison Man!
For the first time, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Sheree Whitfield is finally answering random fan’s questions about her racy relationship with her infamously imprisoned beau, Tyrone Gilliams, a man she’s been seeing for several years.
According to Whitfield, the bond between them is as deep and unbreakable as ever.
Whitfield is so secure in this relationship with a federal prison inmate — who tried to defraud the U.S. Department of the Treasury and got smacked with a 10-year bid — that she gave inside access to the Bravo cameras to film her private phone conversations with the man.
The 48-year-old Cleveland native was invited by Andy Cohen to stop by “Watch What Happens Live,” where fans expressed curiousity about Gilliam’s financial stability and his means to provide Whitfield an upscale life upon his release from confinement.
“I saw that you got a call from your honey, Tyrone,” a caller inquired.
“He was telling you all these things that he was going to do for you when he gets out of jail, and I was curious, financially, how is he gonna be able to do these things? Does he still have money that he’s kept from his embezzling days?”
“Ohhh, his embezzling days?” a stunned Whitfield retorted. “He’s definitely OK, so if I’m not worried about it, you probably shouldn’t be either.”
She has not been shy at all about how serious her feelings for him have become lately.
“I see myself getting married again in the future. I love the institution of marriage a lot. I feel like Tyrone may be the one,” a bubbly Whitfield confided to “The Daily Dish” recently.
“I know this man. I trust this man. I can talk to him about anything. He respects me and loves me unconditionally … I feel like he’s my best friend. I feel like he’s my soulmate and what we have, these feelings weren’t just based on a physical relationship. We’ve gotten to know each other on a more emotional and mental level,” Whitfield concluded.

#Empire: Recap: Andre’s Confession Pushes Cookie To Her Breaking Point
Andre’s huge confession to Lucious sent the Lyon family reeling on the April 4 episode of ‘Empire.’ Will the Lyon family be able to survive this betrayal?
Lucious has a dream and remembers what Andre said to him while he was drugged. The next day, Lucious wants Thirsty to find out everything about the night his car blew up. He’s starting to suspect something’s up with Andre. His eldest son better be scared because the old Lucious is back and ready to reclaim his throne and Cookie. He’s ready to go all-in with Cookie, but after what they said to each other at the cabin, she’s not so sure. “You’re my one,” Lucious says. “I’m your one.” Cookie’s going to let him roar a little bit, but she wants everyone to know: “I still run this b*tch.”
Silicon Valley tech guru Kelly Patel is stopping by Empire to make a deal. At the meeting, Lucious takes over, leaving Cookie in the corner. But Cookie’s not going to stay quiet. She knows he wants to make a deal, so she wants to cut out all the BS. But there’s something Kelly’s not telling the Lyons. He’s secretly working with Eddie!
Tiana’s got a new song with Jamal and Hakeem. She’s getting the full makeover treatment with Eddie’s wife. Eddie is super focused on making Tiana a huge star, so that she makes Eddie a whole lot of money. There’s one thing that’s standing in the way: Hakeem! Tiana and Hakeem are back on.
Cleaning Up Messes
Cookie and Lucious have a big problem on their hands. One of Empire’s former girl groups, TBD (Three Black Divas), are pissed they were left out of the 20 for 20. In a leaked interview, they trash Cookie and Empire. They say their new album is going to spill all the tea on Empire. Cookie vows to fix it. Cookie, Becky, and Porsha show up to a mall to find the girls of TBD performing. Cookie hands them a contract for a reunion album. They’re all good with this contract if they get an apology from Lucious. The girls come and meet with Lucious, who comes bearing lavish gifts. He apologizes, but they call it a faux-pology. They’re pissed Cookie left them out of the 20 for 20. They’re jealous of Cookie, too! They kept Lucious “busy” while Cookie was in jail. The meeting just goes south from there. He’s glad to see them go. Needless to say, Cookie is furious. Lucious doesn’t want anyone to tell him how to do business. While Cookie says she’ll clean up his mess, Lucious promises to get it down the old-fashioned Empire way.
Together, Lucious and Cookie do fix the situation. They acquire the label the girls had signed with to release their diss track. They’re officially owned by Empire. BOOM. Before the meeting’s over, Lucious makes the girls apologize to his “queen.” They do and really make a comeback at the showcase.
During a recording session, Eddie has a heart-to-heart with Tiana. If she’s going to make it big, she has to be all in. No distractions. To Eddie, Hakeem is one of those. He needs to be the only man in Tiana’s life for now. Dude needs to chill.
With Angelo’s death still so fresh, Jamal drops out of the showcase. Becky tells him that she’s pregnant and hasn’t told J Poppa. Later at the showcase, Becky breaks things off with him. Tiana and Hakeem’s relationship is in a really good place until Hakeem proposes to her! She takes Eddie’s advice and tells Hakeem that she has to think about it. She can’t have any distractions right now.
These Are My Confessions…
Andre goes to church and knows he needs to confess his big sin. He promises Shine that he’ll keep his name out of the conversation. The Lyon family convenes for dinner after the showcase. They tell Andre that they still want him to take over Empire, but Lucious is shooting daggers at his son. The family dinner just gets even more awkward from there. Jamal’s mad that he’s been benched, while Hakeem is upset about Tiana. Finally, Andre asks to see his father privately.
The episode ends with Andre finally coming clean about how he almost killed Lucious. After confessing, he grabs a gun and hands it to his father. “Do what you have to do,” Andre says. Lucious attacks his son in a blind rage and trashes his office. He yells over and over, “It was him!” He breaks down in Cookie’s arms. Jamal is furious with Andre. Hakeem is a little bit more sympathetic, but he’s extremely disappointed.
Cookie and Lucious talk in the wake of the shocking news. Cookie begs Lucious to not hurt Andre. The stress of everything finally breaks Cookie. She starts to faint and can’t catch her breath. Lucious calls for help. Is Cookie having a heart attack just like her father did?! Start a prayer group for Cookie, please!
See you next week!

CDC scientist Dr Timothy Cunningham has been found dead in Atlanta after mysterious disappearance likely drowned, police claim!
Authorities say an employee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention whose body was found in an Atlanta river drowned and that there were no signs of foul play. (April 5) AP
A Centers for Disease and Control employee who mysteriously vanished two months ago was found dead in an Atlanta river and likely drowned, police said Thursday.
Timothy Cunningham, a promising official who aided the CDC in responses to Ebola and Zika outbreaks, went missing in February after leaving work early at his office in Chamblee, Ga.
Cunningham told co-workers he felt sick and planned to finish working at home. But in the hours and days before his disappearance, Cunningham, 35, made a number of odd comments.
Atlanta police confirmed Thursday that his body was found in the Chattahoochee River in the northwest area of the city. Authorities say he likely drowned and there were no signs of any marks or injuries that would lead to indications of foul play. He also had no signs of any other ailments that could have contributed to his death.
Several men fishing along the river discovered Cunningham's remains on the riverbank on Tuesday. Rough currents made it hard for fire officials to recover his body, which took several days to identify because it was in the water for nearly two months, Fulton County chief medical examiner Jan Gorniak said.
Fire officials had previously searched the river after Cunningham's disappearance but did not find anything.
Authorities said Tuesday that a 35-year-old doctor, who has been missing for two weeks, told co-workers he was expecting a promotion and was disappointed when he was passed over for it
Gorniak is waiting for a toxicology test, which would say whether any drugs were in his system, before making a final ruling on his death.
Atlanta Police Major Michael O'Connor said Cunningham was found in his favorite jogging suit and had crystals in his pockets, adding it was a hobby of his to collect stones and gems.
O'Connor said the one thing he still doesn't understand is how Cunningham ended up in the river.
"We may never be able to tell you," he said, noting there wasn't any surveillance footage in the area that would help piece together his final movements.
O'Connor said he anticipates closing the case within a month but that could change if new tips come in that point the investigation in another direction.
From the start, Cunningham's disappearance was mysterious and spurred conspiracy theories. But he did not have access to classified material, and the CDC says it does not believe that his employment would be the cause of any foul play.
A day before he went missing, Cunningham allegedly told his neighbor "to erase his cellphone number from my cellphone," the neighbor, Viviana Tory, told CBS.
The day of his disappearance, police say Cunningham called his sister, who said he sounded different that day, and his mother, who didn't answer.
When his family did try to reconnect, they couldn't get a hold of him and asked another family member to check on him at his house. The relative couldn't find Cunningham and noticed his cellphone and car keys were still in the house.
His dog, Mr. Bojangles, was left unattended and his car sat parked in the garage.
"None of this makes sense," his brother, Anterio Cunningham, told Atlanta's Fox 5. "He wouldn't just evaporate like this and leave his dog alone and have our mother wondering and worrying like this. He wouldn't."
Authorities had offered a $10,000 reward for information in the case. Our condolences amd prayers to his Family!
Joan Collins in Final Talks to Star on ‘American Horror Story’ Season 8
Actress would join leads Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters in next installment of Ryan Murphy’s anthology series
Jessica Lange who? Ryan Murphy is working on snagging a new legend for “American Horror Story”: Joan Collins.
Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter in a story published Wednesday that he’s “throwing in Joan Collins” for the upcoming eighth season of the FX anthology series. But TheWrap has learned that announcement was premature, as the actress is currently in “final talks” to move into a leading role in Murphy land.
“The fact of the matter is right now they are still in negotiations and I don’t know what more I could say to that,” Collins’ rep Jeffrey Lane told TheWrap Wednesday. Lane said that he can’t speak to why Murphy revealed the unconfirmed casting news in the interview.
If Collins signs on, she will be in good company for Season 8.
Last month, news broke that Kathy Bates would be returning for the upcoming season as a lead alongside Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters.
Both Paulson and Peters starred in the last installment, “Cult,” but Bates took a year off after “Roanoke,” the franchise’s sixth season.
Murphy also mentioned to THR he is “interested” in Anjelica Huston. A representative for Huston did not immediately respond to press requesting comment on her possible involvement in Season 8.

New York Police Fatally Shoot Unarmed Black Man On Brooklyn Street
Police fatally shot an unarmed black man walking down the street in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday.
Officers responded to three 911 calls reporting that a man at an intersection was pointing what callers believed to be a gun at residents, New York Police Department Chief Terence A. Monahan said in a news briefing.
“Today at 4:40 p.m., the NYPD received several 911 calls of a man described as a male black, wearing a brown jacket, pointing what is described as a silver firearm to people on the street,” Monahan said. When officers arrived, they saw a man matching that description.
“The suspect then took a two-handed shooting stance and pointed an object at the approaching officers,” the police chief said.
Four officers, three in plainclothes and one in uniform, fired 10 rounds among them, striking the man. The officers then called for an ambulance, Monahan said, and the man was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police did not immediately provide details about the man’s identity, but an unnamed law enforcement official told The New York Times the man was Saheed Vassell. Family members also confirmed his identify to the New York Daily News.
The victim’s father, Eric Vassell, told NY1 on Wednesday that his son had bipolar disorder and had been “sick for a long time.” But he described his son as “polite” and said he wasn’t a danger to anyone.
“He’s polite, nice, he’s kind. He just comes and he goes,” Vassell told NY1. He noted that his son had a teenage child.
Local residents described the victim as a well-known member of the neighborhood. “He don’t bother nobody at all,” a woman named Sandy told WNYC, saying he helped her carry her groceries at one point.
“Every cop in this neighborhood knows him,” another community member, John Fuller, told The New York Times.
Despite reports that the victim was carrying a firearm, officers later determined the object he had pointed at them was “a pipe with some sort of knob on the end of it.”
NYPD provided a photo of the pipe the man was holding when officers shot him.
None of the officers was wearing a body camera, Monahan said. But during the news briefing, the police chief held up printouts of security footage that showed the man pointing an object at a civilian and another one of him pointing at the police officers right before the shooting.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office said on Twitter that the mayor had “received a preliminary briefing on the officer-involved shooting.”
Dozens of local residents gathered at the scene of the shooting Wednesday evening, many of them expressing their anger over the lethality of the officers’ response.
The shooting comes just two weeks after police fatally shot Stephon Clark in Sacramento, California, after receiving calls that someone in the neighborhood was breaking car windows. The African-American man, who was unarmed, was standing outside the home where he lived with his grandparents and two young children when the officers shot him eight times. It was later determined that he was holding a cellphone. The shooting escalated a national outcry over police brutality involving black victims.
Paris Jackson Rocks Out with Stone Temple Pilots & Bush for 20th Birthday
Paris Jackson kicked off her birthday with some major rock legends!
The model celebrated turning 20 by watching Stone Temple Pilots, Bush and The Cult at NeueHouse in Hollywood on Tuesday night. Jackson documented the whole concert on her Instagram story, rocking out to songs like “Wicked Garden,” and even turning the camera on herself and fangirling out.
She also shared a photo with Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach, who she ran into at some point that night … which is special considering they both share an April 3 birthday.
And if that wasn’t enough of a celebration, she has a very interesting gift still coming.

Can’t wait till you see it in person! @parisjackson 😊💕,” Kathy wrote.
Kathy’s not the only Hilton to wish Jackson a happy birthday. Paris Hilton posted several pictures wishing her namesake a special day.
NBC’s Jennifer Lopez Drama ‘Shades of Blue’ To End After Season 3
Bad news for the fans of NBC’s ‘Shades Of Blue’…..
Jennifer Lopez’s NBC police drama will exit the airwaves for good following its third season, the network announced on Wednesday.
Back in March 2017, Shades Of Blue’ renewed for third season and THE LAST!
Jennifer Lopez releases a statement.
“I have enjoyed producing and starring in this beautifully complicated world and playing such an empowering yet flawed character — a women, a detective, but, first and foremost, a mother,” Lopez, who serves as an executive producer, said in a statement. “Now looking at it with a little distance, playing Harlee strengthened me and helped me grow into a more self-assured woman. It’s crazy how some parts permeate your soul and change you forever and for that I am grateful. We crafted a poetic three-season arc on how her journey ends, which is true redemption. The way only Harlee could have done it — the hard way, the road less traveled. I thank NBC and all the talented actors, writers, crew and producers for going on this journey with us!”
“This is one of our flagship shows and we’re excited to share the final chapter with viewers who will be on the edge of their seats discovering how Harlee’s story concludes,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, President of Universal Television.
Season 3 is slated to kick off June 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
K. Michelle has confirmed her Second Butt Injections Removal Surgery On ‘Steve TV’
‘So, this will be my second one but I’ve learned my lesson….’Back in February, K. Michelle told Dr. Oz in an interview that will air Tuesday about why she decided to remove her injections. The singer’s doctor, Dr. Michael Niccole, said he was only able to remove 40 percent of the injections, as it would be impossible to remove them all.
The singer confirms she’s getting another removal done in an interview on ‘Steve TV’. And… “I Learned My Lesson”
In the clip, Steve Harvey says, “Recently, you had butt implants removed.
K. Michelle responds, “I had some silicon in me. Yeah I did.”

K. Michelle explains the reason she had them removed. “It was making me sick. It just hit me.. Last year and a half I’m like tired. They tested me for everything. It was okay she got lupus. Then two weeks later it’s like it’s not lupus. I can’t walk. I’ve been on bed rest and everything. So, for me it was for vanity. You know I went and did like the butt shots. Like everybody was doing a lot of your favorite artist went to the same person. And, they sick too. But, I just talk about mine…. So, I said you know what if I can show them my body. And, what I did I can also show them the outcome and the consequences of it. So, I’ve been very open with it. Like this upcoming Monday, I have a surgery their cutting out tissue out of my body so, my body can stop reacting to trying to push it out. So, this will be my second one but I’ve learned my lesson….
I Bet you have!

Jillian Michaels Attacks ‘A**Hole’ Andy Cohen – ‘The Guy Hates Women!’
During a brand new interview, the fitness guru slammed Andy Cohen! Jillian Michaels mainly focused on the Watch What Happens Live host’s involvement with all of the Real Housewives shows that the man is the executive producer of.
It looks like Jillian thinks Andy Cohen is nothing more but a women hater.
She was pretty aggravated while talking about it which means her experience interacting with Cohen was definitely not good.
‘It is like it was created by somebody who hates women! I mean the guy hates them. He is an a**hole. I hate that s**t! I never watch it. I hate watching women tear each other apart. Anyone who watches it, shame on you,’ Michaels said.
We understand why she would not be a big fan of seeing women mindlessly feud on a show for seasons on end, but saying Cohen hates women may not really be the case. That is kind of a stretch.
But her hate towards Cohen is not unexplained!
The WWHL host had stated before that she was the worst guest he has ever had on the show and that she most likely will not get invited again.
According to him, she simply ‘freaked out’ after making an appearance on the Bravo show.
‘She was so mean to the staff. She was screaming at them like they were on The Biggest Loser.’
So it looks like the hate is mutual and the war between Cohen and Michaels is just getting more explosive!
Whose side are you on? Do you agree with Jillian’s claims or not?
Tyrese And Wife Samantha Are Expecting A Baby Girl
This is not a drill folks! Just in, Tyrese and wife, Samantha Gibson are expecting their first child together.
The singer confirmed the news via Instagram on Wednesday afternoon, writing, “It’s not a rumor……. So proud to share the news!”
He continued, “I will never forget when my wife told me these words ….. ‘Take my hand and never let go, I will love you and stand with you through thick and thin from my heart, our love will inspire others to lovers to love deeper… Take my hand and where ever you lead me I will follow you around the world’ .. -Samantha Gibson.”
Samantha also wrote on Instagram, “Not a rumor. We are having a baby! **1 Samuel 1:27-28.”
The news comes just months after Tyrese lied about his wife being pregnant. You might remember, last year, during what appeared to be a string of emotional and public breakdowns, the Fast and Furious star suggested he and his wife were going to be parents.
He, however, later admitted (in Muary’s voice) THAT WAS A LIE.
This will be the first child for Samantha and second for Tyrese, who shares a daughter with his ex, Norma Mitchell.
Congrats to the couple.

Naomi Campbell Gets Pushback After Calling on Vogue to Launch Africa Edition

Former supermodel and British Vogue contributor Naomi Campbell suggested that Vogue expand its reach. Campbell called on the fashion magazine to launch an African edition to account for the contributions the continent has given to fashion.
Campbell was at Arise Fashion Week in Lagos, Nigeria, that featured 45 designers from 14 different African countries. She told Reuters, “There should be a Vogue Africa.” Adding that Middle East Vogue was just launched last year. “We just had Vogue Arabia — it is the next progression. It has to be. Africa has never had the opportunity to be out there and their fabrics and their materials and their designs be accepted on the global platform … It shouldn’t be that way,” she continued.
Condé Nast, Vogue’s publisher, told The Independent via a spokesperson, “Talent is so important not only to create our magazines but also to ensure that the market has a good landscape to write about and work with, [for example] a strong fashion community in the case of Vogue.” They continued, “We have considered Africa as a possible market for Vogue. It is something that we are looking at, but we don’t want to rush or make any quick decisions.”
Despite Campbell’s push for an African edition of Vogue, not everyone was in favor.
Instead of launching a vogue Africa edition, why not support and amplify already existing publications that are African-centered and have been trying to fill the void, even when vogue saw no potential in us?
Those in favor of a Vogue Africa became excited at the prospect of the magazine representing the diverse African countries.
