#RHoA: Did you know Phaedra Has Not Visited Apollo In 2 Years, Sons ‘Rarely’ See Him

Phaedra Parks hasn’t seen her ex-husband Apollo Nida in two years. RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal the fired Real Housewives of Atlanta star hasn’t visited her ex in prison with their two children.

 “Phaedra has not gone to see Apollo in like two years,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “The kids rarely see Apollo – it is just too hard on them.”

When Parks, 44, brought their sons Ayden, 8, and Dylan, 5, for a visit they “cried for three days.”

 “Phaedra does not want to put them through that,” the insider said. “Apollo calls Phaedra every day or every other day to speak to the boys. It is 100 percent all about the kids at this point. If the boys have seen their father, it was not with Phaedra.”

Nida is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence at Fort Dix Correctional Facility for fraud. His release date is August 29, 2020.

Fortunately for Nida, he is not completely alone behind bars, as he has been engaged to Sherien Almufti since 2016.

Almufti recently posted a throwback photo of her man before he started his prison sentence in 2014.

“Almost four years ago,” she captioned the snap. “Although it was a very sad day for us because you were leaving for a while. We will remain strong. I’m still here as I said I would be and I’m not going anywhere!!!! Love you to the core baby.”

The photo received backlash, as he was still married to Parks at the time.

“Phaedra was aware Apollo was cheating on her,” the source told Radar. “Phaedra was already separating from Apollo, but they were trying to figure things out. That is why she did not care when he went to jail. He got caught in so many lies and she was over it.”

Parks was fired from RHOA when she was accused of starting a rumor that co-star Kandi Burruss wanted to drug and rape Porsha Williams.

Although Parks was fired from the small screen, Almufti will return to TV when she appears on TLC’s Say Yes To The Dress.

#HipHopNews: 21 Savage Pulls Out Gun During Pool Party Brawl

ATLANTA, GA – It seems 21 Savage was following 50 Cent’s “get the strap” mantra over the weekend. The Slaughter Gang rapper was caught on camera flashing a gun in the middle of a brawl on Saturday (June 9).

According to TMZ, 21 was attending an Atlanta area event called the Big Ass Pool Party and a large group of people crashed the festivities. TMZ’s sources claim the altercation began when one of the crashers began talking to a woman in 21’s clique. A crasher allegedly pulled out a gun, which prompted 21 to grab his own piece.

Video of the incident showed 21 grabbing a firearm as the brawl spilled out into a yard. One man was knocked to the ground in the skirmish, but no shots were fired. Police shut down the party upon their arrival.

Jeremy Meeks And Chloe Green Welcome A Baby Boy

A baby is a beautiful blessing — and in the case of Jeremy Meeks it’s a beautiful, billion dollar blessing!

Meeks, aka Hot Felon, and his TopShop heiress boo, Chloe Green, have welcomed a baby boy, Jayden Meeks-Green. The blue-eyed model made the announcement on his Instagram page, while simultaneously asking for privacy.

Jeremy probably predicted that his comment section would be full on people bringing up the fact that he has a child (Jeremy Jr., 9yo) with his estranged wife Melissa that he apparently reluctant to support financial. After filing for divorce in October 2017 — well after his relationship with Chloe became public — it took court proceedings in order to get the high-end cat-walker to pay just $1,000 a month in support.

Congrats to Jeremy and Chloe.

‘Down Home with the Neelys’ Star Pat Neely Secretly Remarries, New Wife Is Pregnant

Pat Neely — who achieved Food Network fame co-hosting “Down Home with the Neelys” with his then-wife, Gina Neely — secretly got remarried last year and his new wife is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

According to a marriage certificate filed in Troup County, Georgia and obtained by The Blast, Pat and Tamika Parks tied the knot on October 7, 2017.

Parks updated her Facebook page two weeks later with a photo from their wedding day, with the caption, “He knows how to make me smile. #HappyDay #IMarriedMyBestFriend #ThankYouGod🙏🏽”

Parks also posted photos from her baby shower last week and appears to be pretty far along.

Neely has tried to keep the relationship private and hasn’t posted a single thing about Parks on social media; she’s never posted a photo of him either.

Court documents also reveal that Parks added Neely to the deed of her home in Georgia in September 2017, the month before their wedding.

Pat and Gina Neely were high school sweethearts who split in 2014 after 20 years of marriage. Their cooking show premiered in 2008 and they wrote a cookbook together called, “Down Home with the Neelys: A Southern Family Cookbook.” According to his website, Pat has owned and operated restaurants in Memphis, Nashville and New York City.

In an interview earlier this year, Gina Neely told PEOPLE she has not spoken to Pat since the day she left him.

“I remember leaving with my purse and my duffle bag, and I was out of there,” Gina told the mag. “I haven’t spoken to Pat in four years.”

#BoxOfficeNews: 'Ocean's 8' Steals #1

Leading the weekend charge is Warner Bros and Village Roadshow's Ocean's 8, topping industry expectations and delivering the largest opening within the franchise (not adjusted for inflation). At the same time, A24's Hereditary smashed tracking expectations and even outperformed Mojo's lofty, pre-weekend forecast to finish within the top five, earning A24 its largest opening ever. Unfortunately, Global Road's Hotel Artemis, the weekend's third new wide release, struggled to find an opening weekend audience while Universal and Amblin Entertainment launched Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom internationally this weekend where it grossed over $150 million, two weeks ahead of its North American release.

With an estimated $41.5 million, WB's Ocean's 8 topped the weekend box office and outperformed pre-weekend industry expectations, which anticipated an opening in the mid-thirties, though fell a little short of Mojo's pre-weekend forecast, which saw potential for a debut over $45 million. That said, the $41.5 million debut is a solid start for the $70 million production, which will now hope to holdover well amid upcoming competition which includes Incredibles 2 next weekend and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom the following week. The last two films in the Ocean's franchise averaged a 3.2x multiplier, which would put Ocean's 8's domestic run over $130 million should it follow suit.

Ocean's 8 received a "B+" CinemaScore from opening day audiences with exits showing the audience make up as 69% female and 69% aged 25 years or older. That said, the film played quite well to younger audiences, of which 11% were 18 years or younger and gave the film an "A" CinemaScore.

Internationally, Ocean's 8 kicked things off in 16 markets bringing in an estimated $12.2 million for a $53.7 million global launch. The opening included an estimated $4.7 million in Australia, $2.6 million in Mexico and $1.7 million in Brazil. Looking ahead the film will open this week in France and South Korea on June 13 followed by openings in Germany (Jun 21), Russia (Jun 21), UK (Jun 22), Spain (Jul 6), Italy (Jul 26) and Japan (Aug 10).

Vince Vaughn Charged With DUI

Actor Vince Vaughn and a companion were freed from a Southern California jail Sunday morning after the actor was charged with driving under the influence, according to reports.

The 48-year-old “Wedding Crashers” star was pulled over at a checkpoint after midnight, Manhattan Beach police told outlets. He was taken in on suspicion of DUI and on a charge of resisting, delaying or obstructing officers.

Sgt. Tim Zins later said Vaughn wasn’t “fighting with officers,” but was “delaying the investigation,” CNN noted.

Vaughn’s unidentified male passenger was charged with obstructing officers and public intoxication.

Vaughn, a father of two, was given a citation and was released from jail with his passenger around 7 a.m. after posting bond, CBS in Los Angeles reported.

Neither Vaughn’s rep nor a police spokeswoman would elaborate Monday when reached

Keegan-Michael Key Marries Elisa Puglies

Actor and comedian Keegan-Michael Key is celebrating his marriage to Hollywood producer and director Elisa Pugliese. The couple have kept their relationship under wraps but last year they started being seen attending events and award shows together. In September, the couple was even seen attending events during the Emmy Awards weekend. Key and Pugliese shared the news of their engagement on Twitter in November. He wrote,

She shows me every day that each one of us has the ability to help make the world a better place. I’m the luckiest man ever.

The couple got married on June 8th and had a star studded intimate celebration the following day at One World Observatory in New York City. Their reception details were featured in this week’s issue of People. He explained, It’s a truly amazing thing when you can find someone who brings happiness and joy to your life. And more importantly helps you to share that happiness and joy with others. Before I met her I didn’t even know that was possible.

Pugliese wore a Prada gown and Key wore a suit by Paul Smith. Both Key and Pugliese took to Twitter to share their wedded bliss and Pugliese even sent a special message to her newlywed husband.

He wrote,Best. Day. Ever.

Pugliese is a known director and producer, who has worked on films such as “Fair Game,” “Boy Meets Girl,” and the “American Teen” documentary. Pugliese is also an actress and has appeared on episodes of Law and Order.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

VH1 Prepping “Love & Hip Hop London” Spin-Off

The Love & Hip Hop franchise is expanding! Rumor has it, the hit VH1 series is heading across the pond, prepping Love & Hip Hop: London. Details are scarce at this point, but sources tell us that they’re already casting for London and filming has already began.

Over the past few days, a few of the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast – Teairra Mari, Bridget Kelly, Brooke Valentine, etc. – have been filming in London, sharing photos and footage of their international trip on social media, along with producers from the show.

Sources tell thejasminebrand that one of the reasons for the London trip is to introduce some of the Hollywood cast to the London cast.

Love & Hip Hop documents the personal and professional lives of several hip hop and R&B musicians, performers, managers, and record producers residing in varying regions throughout the United States.

The original franchise version, Love & Hip Hop: New York, premiered on March 6, 2011. Its success resulted in spin-offs located in Atlanta, Hollywood, and Miami.

The series is known for its sprawling ensemble cast, with over 200 cast members. The franchise has generated controversy since its inception, and is often criticized for tending towards a narrative format more commonly seen in scripted genres such as soap operas, and appearing to fabricate much of its storyline. However, it is one of the highest rated unscripted franchises in cable television history.

The show has aired continuously since May 15, 2014, with an incarnation of the franchise airing nearly every Monday on VH1. As of June 11, 2018, 301 original episodes of New York, Atlanta, Hollywood and Miami have aired over twenty seasons.

What are your thoughts on the potential Love & Hip Hop: London spin-off?

RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice Enters Bodybuilding Contest In Glitter Bikini!

There is a new bodybuilder housewife in town! Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice showing off her super fit body during a bodybuilding contest over the weekend.

The 46-yr-old mother of four is pictured above flaunting her toned stomach, arms and muscular legs in front of judges during the NPC South Jersey Bodybuilding Championships that took place on Saturday, June 9.

Teresa donned a bedazzled purple bikini, which was not lacking in the glitter department, for the swimsuit competition to show off all of her hard work. She has spent the last few months training non-stop in preparation for the big event.

In addition to her bikini, Teresa also wore lucite heels, and diamond jewelry which included chandelier earrings.

Sources tell Page Six that Teresa “has been training since December five or six times per week,” and that she “drastically” changed her diet.

So, how did she fare in the contest? “[She] wanted to challenge herself physically and is extremely happy with how she did, coming in 3rd out of 8,” the source reveals.

Teresa’s family members, brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, were on hand to support her!

When it comes to future competitions, Teresa is reportedly taking a break for now.

“[She] has told friends she would consider competing in the future, but for now, no plans to do so,” adds the insider.

It’s safe to assume this will be featured on the upcoming season of the RHONJ which is currently filming.

Tracy Ross Ellis for Glamour US Feb 2018!

Glamour's February 2018 cover, which stars Fashionista favorite, the inimitable Tracee Ellis Ross. Opposite the cover line "When Tracee Ellis Ross talks, we all listen," the "Black-ish" star wears a Jil Sander sweater and skirt with Spring 2018's "It" sneaker, courtesy of Louis Vuitton, and her hair worn natural.

The interview focuses on love and sexuality, touching on subjects ranging from how her mother, Diana Ross, raised her to be sex-positive to finding love outside traditional romantic relationships. Of the latter, she said:

I WILL SAY — LISTEN — I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH MY BEST FRIEND, NOR DO I WANT THEM TO SPOON ME NAKED. SO THAT IS A SIMPLE AND CLEAR DISTINCTION. HOWEVER, I WILL TELL YOU THAT MY BEST FRIEND, FOR EXAMPLE, IS VERY CLEAR WITH HER HUSBAND — THAT I'M IN THE RELATIONSHIP TOO. THERE IS A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN [OUR ROLES THOUGH]. SHE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HER HUSBAND RECENTLY, AND SHE SAID TO HIM, 'LISTEN TO ME, TRACEE IS NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW, SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ON A DIFFERENT ROLE AND LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU. DON'T TRY AND FIX WHAT I'M SAYING; DON'T TRY AND GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I NEED TO SHARE.' AND SHE SHARED SOME DETAILS THAT USUALLY WOULD'VE GONE TO ME.

How's that for a great start to the year's newsstand? You can read Ross's full interview and see her full cover shoot, shot by Patrick Demarchelier, right now over on Glamour.com.

#RHoA: Kenya Moore is looking forward to Family Growing Pains as She Heads Into 2018

Kenya Moore's 2017 was filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, including her marriage to Marc Daly in June and the passing of her grandmother Doris in July.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta entrepreneur reflected on last year as 2018 began on Monday. "2017 you go down in history as one of the best and worst years of my life," Kenya started a note on Instagram featuring her most popular photos from 2017. "Worst because I lost the love of my life, my grandmother Doris who raised me from 3 days old. And the best being the day I married my husband and romantic love of my life.

Kenya is focusing on her family as she looks toward the future in the new year. "I thank God for every single day for Without love there can be no sorrow. Without history there can be no future. Without pain there can be no joy," Kenya concluded the post. "Thank you for my life and my growing family."

Kenya's mention of her "growing family" certainly may raise some eyebrows, considering all the pregnancy rumors that have been swirling around her for the past month. When Kenya was recently asked about the rumors during the RHOA After Show, which premieres January 7, she replied, "I hope so. You know, listen, we have been really up front about wanting to expand our family, and we have definitely been taking the proper steps to try to make that happen."

#EMPIRE: Did Y’all know that Lee Daniels Didn’t Want to Cross Over Empire and Star?

The crossover episode is nearly as old as television itself—think Charlie’s Angels solving a case on The Love Boat, or Mork meeting up with Laverne and Shirley. But Lee Daniels, the mastermind behind Fox’s Empire and Star, wasn’t sure he was ready for the worlds of his two music-centric shows to meet up—and Naomi Campbell was a major reason why.

“Naomi Campbell is on both of these shows,” Daniels pointed out in a recent phone call. “What happens if Lucious, who killed Naomi on Empire, runs into her as Alexandra’s mother in Star?”

The solution, as you might expect for two shows that follow in the grand tradition of primetime soap operas, is surprisingly simple.

“He would just have to say, ‘I thought I killed you.’ ‘No, you killed my sister Camilla.’” Daniels then provided his own dramatic sound effect: “Dun dun DUN!”

Daniels, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for directing Precious and convinced Oprah to give her first dramatic performance in 15 years in The Butler, says he didn’t expect this role as super-producer overseeing an entire night of cable television. “I thought that we were going to be, when Empire went off the air, Star would come on the air,” he explained. But that plan was dashed when Empire moved to 8 p.m. for its second season, to act as a lead-in for Star at 9. “All eyes are on us now. I guess that was a message from the universe for me to really amp up my game with Star.”

While Empire was a ratings phenomenon in its first season, and remains the second-most-popular drama on network TV (behind NBC’s This Is Us), Star got off to a slower start. That may be why the second season kicks off with an eye-popping dance sequence—what Daniels calls his “Bob Fosse tribute”—and a cameo from Daniels himself, sitting on a crane and calling “action” like a modern–day Cecil B. DeMille. “I only have one word, and that’s ‘action,’ so I couldn't screw it up,” Daniels said, revealing that he also made a cameo on Empire—but ultimately cut himself out. (“I had this monologue that I ended up with, like, two lines that looked believable.”)

He’s most nervous, though, about what the two-hour crossover special will do for his favorite addiction: Twitter. “It’s like my grandmother playing bingo. I follow Twitter to the point of I’m in a frenzy. Now I’m really nervous, because it’s going to be two hours of that insanity.”

Daniels is proud of the way his shows have pushed the boundaries of network television, starting with a moment in the second episode of Empire when one character donned a bib before a particular sex act. (“I said, it’s Lee Daniels, that’s what it is. Put the bib on and shut up.”) But he’s not interested in pushing those boundaries even further by jumping over to premium cable or streaming. “What’s the point? I can always go where I wanna go with cable with film. [Network TV] keeps me on point. You have to be PG, but you have to be provocative.”

And there you have it!

#HIPHOPNEWS: Cardi B Ties The Beatles & Ashanti With Billboard Hot 100 Milestone

Cardi B is kicking off the new year with another historic achievement. This week, she becomes the first rapper and the third act ever to have their first three Billboard Hot 100 entries simultaneously in the top 10, following only The Beatles and Ashanti.

“I’m very happy, like very motherfucking happy,” she said in a celebratory video. “I got three songs on the top 10. You know how that make a bitch feel? … I know we all God’s children, but I think he love me the most. But y’all special too.”

Cardi achieved this major feat with “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” (No. 10), Migos’ “MotorSport” (No. 7), and G-Eazy’s “No Limit” (No. 4). Meanwhile, her newest solo release, “Bartier Cardi,” debuted at No. 14, and her Ozuna collaboration, “La Model,” opened at No. 52.

In 1964, The Beatles achieved the same milestone with “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” and “Please Please Me.” Ashanti did it in 2002 with “Foolish,” Fat Joe’s “What’s Luv?,” and Ja Rule’s “Always On Time.” Last month, Bacardi also became the first female rapper to reach the top 10 with her first three Hot 100 entries.

Mike Tyson Looking To Become Cannabis Champ With New Marijuana Farm

With the legalization of marijuana in California, Mike Tyson is ready to do a different kind of boxing — hot boxing, perhaps. The boxing icon and occasional actor broke ground last week to build a 40-acre marijuana farm.

The facility, called Tyson Ranch will be located in the desert in California City, 60 miles southwest of Death Valley. According to The Blast, 20 acres of the land will be used to cultivate cannabis and “will allow master growers to have maximum control of their environment.”

An avid advocate of the medicinal and healing attributes of marijuana, Tyson’s farm will also have a Tyson Cultivation School which will teach growers the latest methods in cannabis production. Tyson Holistic will run the ranch and will focus on treatment for men and women who have suffered from psychological ailments during military service.

In addition to the school and the facilities to grow pot, the ranch will essentially be a resort and include an edible factory, premium “glamping” campgrounds and cabins as well as an amphitheater. The farm has all the necessities for attendees to have a high-quality vacation.

Looks like Tyson is on his way to getting lots of green…in more ways than one.

The passage of Proposition 64 in November 2016 legalized the sale and cultivation of recreational marijuana for adults. California will be the biggest state to legalize. Despite the proposition passing by 57 percent, it still remains controversial in some quarters, and governments are not fully behind the movement.

Recreational use of pot may be legal, but there are still plenty of restrictions. You can’t smoke it in public or within 1,000 feet of a school or daycare center when children are present. And like alcohol, you can’t smoke and drive. Local governments have the authority to make their own rules governing use.

Netflix Renews Spike Lee’s ‘She’s Gotta Have It’ For Season 2

#RUSSIAGATE: Former WH Adviser Steve Bannon Suggests Donald Trump Met With Russians After Don Jr. Did

The former White House strategist called the infamous Trump Tower meeting “treasonous,” according to a new book.

Steve Bannon suggested President Donald Trump was aware of Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russian operatives at Trump Tower in June 2016 ― because he met with them that day, too, according to an explosive new book by acclaimed journalist Michael Wolff.

The former White House strategist was quoted by Wolff as saying there was “zero” chance Trump Jr. didn’t walk the Russian meeting attendees “up to his father’s office on the 26th floor.”

Wolff met with Bannon during the nine months he was granted far-reaching access to the West Wing and senior administration officials to write a tell-all book about the White House, Fire and Fury, set for release on Jan. 9.

The revelations appeared to contradict Trump’s repeated claims that he was unaware his eldest son, as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner, had met with the Russians.

Bannon also dubbed the infamous Trump Tower meeting as “treasonous” and “bad shit,” according to Wolff. The far-right icon mocked Trump Jr. and Kushner for taking the meeting in hopes of acquiring dirt on Hillary Clinton, Trump’s political opponent in the 2016 presidential race, as first revealed by The New York Times in July.

“The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor — with no lawyers,” Bannon told Wolff, according to The Guardian, which obtained a copy of the book.

“Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad shit, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately,” he added.

Bannon predicted special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government will focus on money laundering.

“This is all about money laundering,” Bannon told Wolff. “Mueller chose [senior prosecutor Andrew] Weissmann first and he is a money-laundering guy. Their path to fucking Trump goes right through Paul Manafort, Don Jr and Jared Kushner … It’s as plain as a hair on your face.”

Bannon suggested Kushner’s business dealings with German financial juggernaut Deutsche Bank, which has loaned hundreds of millions of dollars to the Kushner family real estate business, would be problematic for the administration.

“The Kushner shit is greasy,” Bannon said. “They’re going to go right through that. They’re going to roll those two guys up and say play me or trade me.”

Four Trump associates have been indicted in connection to the probe, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who also attended the Trump Tower meeting. Manafort was indicted by a grand jury in October on charges of conspiracy and money laundering.

“They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,” Bannon said, adding that the White House should reconsider its apparent lack of concern over the Mueller investigation. “They’re sitting on a beach trying to stop a Category Five.”

Trump responded to Bannon’s accusations by claiming his former staffer had “lost his mind.”

“Steve Bannon has nothing to with me or my Presidency,” Trump said in a statement. “Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look.”
