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.


Kanye West Surprises Kim Kardashian With Celine Dion Concert for 5th Anniversary Weekend
The power of love! In celebration of their fifth wedding anniversary, Kanye West took wife Kim Kardashian to one of Céline Dion‘s final concerts for her eponymous Las Vegas residency.

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.

The Daily Buzz For Feb 6 ☕📰☕


Aja Naomi King for Nylon - February 2019
For their February 2019 cover, Nylon magazine chose HTGAWM star Aja Naomi King. On the cover which was shot by Charlotte Prager and Dani Okon, Naomi is wearing a ALENA AKHMADULLINA SPRING 2019 dress and ROXANNE ASSOULIN earrings. In the issue, she talks about diversity in Hollywood, her HTGAWM cast, her new film, and more. Continue below to read some excepts from her interview and visit Nylon.com for more details. https://nylon.com/aja-naomi-king-nylon-february-2019-cover

On what she was thinking before she started in this industry:
Before I even started in this industry, I was just like, Oh man, if I could make it to be that white girl's best friend. If I could get there... That's where it started for me… to me that was a tremendous achievement. I never expected to lead a film. I didn't see enough of it to think it was possible.

On wanting to have a purpose:
I do try to amplify. That's the small part that I try to do—to get involved in whatever way I can and, at the very least, amplify.
On her character Ahmed in her new film 'A Girl from Mogadishu':
She is a light. I don't know how she does it. Everything is just so simple in her mind. She doesn't see problems, she only sees solutions. And she's always just—she's just a joy. She loves people, and she wants to do good, and I'll never forget, when I was in the beginning of doing this film, my life means nothing. If I can stop this from happening to one girl, then my life will mean something.

On her HTGAWM cast:
When I met the HTGAWM cast we all hit it off immediately. Over the years we’ve really grown as a family, and Aja has been integral to that growth. She remembers everyone’s birthdays, plans all of our cast outings, and is generally our number one cheerleader on set.

#SOTU2019: Stacey Abrams Of Georgia Delivered the response to The State of The Union Address: ‘Together, We Are Coming For America, For A Better America’!
WASHINGTON ― In the official Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams delivered a passionate speech about the need for economic and social justice in America and said even though she disagrees with Trump on virtually everything, she still wants him to succeed.
“My reason for running for governor was simple: I love our country and its promise of opportunity for all,” Abrams said, beaming against the blurred backdrop of a group of men and women of different races. “I stand here tonight because I hold fast to my father’s credo: Together, we are coming for America, for a better America.”
Abrams, who is the first black woman to give a Democratic response to the State of the Union, denounced the president’s policies on immigration, LGBTQ rights, gun safety, education and health care. She didn’t need to name the president directly when she urged Americans to hold people “in the very highest offices” accountable for racism. But she did call Trump out directly for shutting down the government last month, making federal workers go without pay for weeks in his push for border wall money.

“Making their livelihoods a pawn for political games is a disgrace,” said Abrams. “The shutdown was a stunt engineered by the president of the United States, one that defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people but our values.”
Still, Abrams extended an olive branch to Trump, urging him to consider how much Democrats and Republicans can accomplish by working together.

“Even as I am very disappointed by the president’s approach to our problems, I still don’t want him to fail,” she said. “But we need him to tell the truth, and to respect his duties and the extraordinary diversity that defines America.”
Even as I am very disappointed by the president’s approach to our problems, I still don’t want him to fail.
Stacey Abrams
For all the potential of America, Abrams said, nothing is possible without “the bedrock guarantee” of people’s right to vote.
“Let’s be clear: Voter suppression is real,” she said. “From making it harder to register and stay on the rolls to moving and closing polling places to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy.”

The issue is personal for her. Abrams lost her governor’s race in November to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) amid allegations of voter suppression. Kemp refused to recuse himself as the state’s top election official in his own election, which many said was a conflict of interest. He also faced scrutiny after his office placed 53,000 voters’ registrations in suspense because their names didn’t exactly match a state record. Nearly 70 percent of the people on the list were black.
Abrams included a call to fight for voting rights in Tuesday night’s response and took a shot at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who recently called a group of proposed voting reforms in Democratic legislation a “power grab.”
“We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a ‘power grab,’” she said. “The foundation of our moral leadership around the globe is free and fair elections, where voters pick their leaders ― not where politicians pick their voters.”

Ultimately, Abrams said, the American promise stems from basic family values like the ones she grew up with as her family fluctuated between being lower middle class and working poor. She talked about her parents coming home from work “weary and bone-tired” but still showing her and her siblings all that they could be.

“Our power and strength as Americans lives in our hard work and our belief in more,” Abrams said. “My family understood firsthand that, while success is not guaranteed, we live in a nation where opportunity is possible.”

GREAT SPEECH MADAME ABRAMS!


#RHoA: Cynthia Bailey Is Trying The Keto Diet To get a little more 'Snatched' For Her Reunion Show
Is she newest keto dieter? Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Cynthia, 51, revealed that she's gearing up for RHOA's season 11 reunion show with the diet. "I keep hearing about the keto diet," she said. "The reunion is coming up in three weeks, so I think I'm going to try it to get a little more snatched."

According to Cynthia, her former work as a model makes her extra-conscious about slimming down. "My historical modeling career has been called into question a little bit," she said. "So I gotta make sure these cheekbones are more sucked in." (Tbh, those cheekbones are still poppin', but to each her own.)
Cynthia's also trying to be more aware of what she drinks. "Honestly, what I've learned is that the most fattening thing is drinking, and I'm a cocktail girl," she told Us Weekly. "I think it's more fattening than food!"

That's why Cynthia may pre-game her upcoming reunion show with an alcohol detox. "When I'm not drinking that much, I'm not bloated," she said. "I eat pretty healthy, but I drink pretty bad. If I detox for a week from drinking, I actually just naturally slim down."

So what you think, Will she be ‘SNATCHED’ by the Reunion?


#Empire: Jussie Smollett told police attackers knew he was on ‘Empire’
CHICAGO (AP) — “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett told police that two men seemed to know who he was before they beat him, shouted racial and homophobic slurs, and looped a rope around his neck during an early-morning attack in Chicago, according to a recently released police report.

Smollett told police that two men dressed in black got his attention by mentioning the name of the TV show as he walked downtown early on Jan. 29. Smollett said the more aggressive man wore a black mask to conceal his face.
Smollett, who is black and openly gay, said the men then shouted slurs, beat him in the face with their hands and poured an unknown substance on him that stained his clothes. He said the men tied a rope around his neck before running away, according to a brief police report released to the public following a Freedom of Information request by media outlets.

The report noted that the 36-year-old actor said he initially didn’t want to report the attack, but that another person convinced him to do so. The name of the person who encouraged Smollet to call police was redacted in the report, which notes that the person was with Smollet when officers arrived at his Chicago apartment.
When officers arrived at his apartment, Smollett still had a white rope draped around his neck. The report also noted that officers turned off their body cameras at Smollett’s request, something that crime victims sometimes ask officers to do, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

No arrests have been made but police continue to collect and review surveillance video from the area and look for possible witnesses, Guglielmi said Tuesday. He said police are also going to stores to ask employees if they recall selling rope to anyone and to determine if security camera footage shows someone buying the kind of rope that was tied noose-like around Smollet’s neck.
“We are starting to search stores to see if any of this kind of rope was purchased in the area,” Guglielmi said.
Smollett went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after being advised to do so by the officers, according to the police report. Police said he was treated for scrapes and bruises and released.
Smollett took officers to the spot where he was attacked and told investigators he’d received hate mail a week earlier. Police have said the FBI was investigating the letter, which was sent to the studio in Chicago where “Empire” is filmed.

Guglielmi said officers don’t yet have video showing the attack and are continuing to search for two men who were walking in the area at around the time of the attack to question them about what they may have seen.


#NewMusic: Trey Songz and Chris Brown ‘Chi Chi’
Trey Songz and Chris Brown have released their latest pillow-biting collaboration titled “Chi Chi.”

Liam Neeson Says He's Not Racist, Explains Rage After Attack
NEW YORK (AP) — LIAM Neeson says violence breeds violence and bigotry breeds bigotry.
The 66-year-old actor appeared Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," one day after he told an interviewer that he had violent thoughts about killing a black person after learning nearly 40 years ago that someone close to him had been raped.
Neeson says he had asked about the race of the attacker, along with other descriptive characteristics.

He says he had a "primal urge to lash out" before he was shocked by his reaction and sought help from a priest and friends.
Neeson says he's not a racist. The actor says we need to talk about these things because bigotry and racism exist.

Neeson was promoting his new thriller, "Cold Pursuit."

Broadway's 'Hair' Live Musical Cancelled By NBC!
Hair will no longer become a live musical on NBC. Originally, producers announced that on May 19, 2019, NBC would put on a live musical along the same lines as past live musicals including Rent Live, which just aired last month on Fox, Hairspray Live on NBC, and more.

“Live musicals are a part of this network’s DNA and we are committed to continuing that tradition with the right show at the right time,” NBC Entertainment co-chairmen Paul Telegdy and George Cheeks said to Forbes. “Since these shows are such enormous undertakings, we need titles that have a wide appeal and we’re in the process of acquiring the rights to a couple of new shows that we’re really excited about.”

Sources told THR that the cancellation was perhaps because of the date – May 19. On May 19, ABC will be airing the season finale of American Idol, and HBO will be airing the series finale of Game of Thrones.
Hair was most recently produced on Broadway in 2009 with a cast led by Tony winner Gavin Creel and Will Swenson.


Are Singer Liam Payne & Iconic Model Naomi Campbell Dating?
Liam Payne and Naomi Campbell are rumored to be dating and the couple is not doing anything to stop those rumors. They’re actually fueling them thanks to their insistent Instagram commenting.
In January the two exchanged very flirty comments on one another’s Instagram posts. On a selfie that Campbell posted Payne wrote, “Perfection in a person 🌹… don’t give me those eyes,” followed by the eye emoji and kissy face emoji.

On a Payne’s sultry selfie Campbell commented, “Beautiful soul ❤️.” Payne responded to her, “Takes one to know one,” with the kissy face emoji.
Ever since then there have been rumors that the two are dating.
Now according to The Sun, the two have been dating secretly for two months. The rumored couple even rang in the New Year together in Ghana and have been secretly been going on dates.
They were spotted out at the Davido Adeleke concert at the O2 in London on January 28, but back then no one was aware that the two celebrities were linked together.

Campbell is 23 years older than Payne, but Payne definitely has a thing for older women. His last girlfriend and mother to his son, Cheryl Cole is 10 years older than him.
A source told The Sun, “Liam thinks she’s amazing and beautiful and has said their intimate time together have been mind-blowing. He seems really into her and acting like he can’t believe his luck.”

With their Instagram comment and public dates, it looks like these two are a real couple. Do you ship Payne and Campbell?


'Atlanta' Season 3 Delayed, May Not Return This Year!
Sorry Atlanta fans: it looks like the show may not be returning for its third season in 2019.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Donald Glover-led show has been delayed at FX. PR boss John Solberg confirmed that the show won’t be back for the 2019 Emmys cycle, after being renewed for its third season back in June.

While an official reason for the delay hasn’t been announced, FX chief John Landgraf said that Glover’s life has made things a bit difficult, and that they are choosing quality over quantity by releasing the show when the time is right.

"As you might imagine, Donald Glover is sort of the king of all media, and he just has had an incredibly complicated life,” he said. “He's had personal things he's had to deal with, from injuries to other things I'd rather not say publicly that just have to do not with his personal life but his extended family. So I think one of the things that is just a reality of television today is you have to wait.”

Glover has a busy touring schedule this year with performances at Coachella and Bonnaroo as his rap alter ego Childish Gambino. However, he’s attempting to take it easy otherwise. He reportedly won’t be attending this weekend’s Grammy Awards ceremony, where he is up for numerous awards.


Frank Ocean's Tumblr Rumored To Be Hacked After Post On SZA, Kendrick Lamar And Andre 3000 
The rumor mill is churning with speculation thanks to Frank Ocean's latest Tumblr update. The Channel Orange artist is assumably teasing a collaboration with "Solana + KL + Andre," leading spectators to believe they'll receive a meeting of the minds on wax between SZA, Kendrick Lamar, and Andre 3000. Ocean then capped the oblique message with "Here for the beans." Additionally, March 1 is the release date for the "Pyramids" singer's supposed collabo, but another Tumblr post also hints at something to come as far as 2020.

While little to nothing is known about the "Novacane" singer's latest post, he's been on the music scene from a quick cover of SZA's "The Weekend" to having released his own projects like Blonde although that was three years ago. In November 2018, the acclaimed singer-songwriter teased a new melody on his Instagram account, leading supporters to believe that he's preparing to release another project pretty soon.

In an interview with GQ, the 31-year-old musician discussed how social media can help you steer your own narrative, no matter how much of a recluse you might appear to be to the outside world.
"With some pop stars, the idea of them is maybe more balanced or fully formed: a half-dozen magazine covers, x amount of interviews, a daily influx of media," he said. "There's a way you wanna be in the visual press, although you could potentially be misrepresented; when you're completely minimal with media, there's a lot of pressure on whatever one thing you're doing, the stakes are higher. Social media helps that, 'cause you're fully in control and can message that how you want."
UPDATE: 
After the masses received news of this possible collaboration, others were quick to note that Frank Ocean's Tumblr was most likely hacked. A photo of Drake in blackface was also posted to the website, which raised red flags for spectators. An unidentified person is also claiming to have possession of unreleased songs from Ocean and will release them if an Instagram picture gets a certain amount of likes.


SAY WHAT? R. Kelly is going back on tour despite 'Surviving' backlash 👀👀
R. Kelly is heading out on tour overseas. The embattled singer revealed Tuesday he will be performing in Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, although no dates have been announced. This will be the first tour for R. Kelly (né Robert Sylvester Kelly) since Lifetime’s explosive Surviving docuseries premiered last month.
Flamingo Dreamz, an event promotions company that worked with Ja Rule for his Australia and New Zealand shows, is behind the tour. Yahoo reached out for comment about the company’s decision to partner with R. Kelly but did not immediately receive a response.

In January, promoters planning R. Kelly’s tour in Australia and New Zealand claimed they pulled out of talks with his management team in the wake of the sexual misconduct allegations against the singer that resurfaced after Surviving R. Kelly debuted.
In a social media post, R. Kelly called the tour “fake,” telling fans “I am not involved in this tour, nor do I have knowledge of it, its promoters, etc.” The promoters hit back, suggesting the singer was playing off local promoters in a bid for higher fees.

“Big Music Tour can confirm contracts were in place with R. Kelly and his management for the Australian tour. We have been in discussion regarding the bizarre social media post denying the tour and had been working towards a resolution,” the promoters told the Sydney Morning Herald in a statement. “However, given the current situation in R. Kelly’s personal life and the controversy surrounding him, the promoters have decided not to move forward and are focusing on other events.”

R. Kelly’s announcement was met with criticism on social media.
Last month, Sony Music dropped the singer after the #MuteRKelly movement gained steam following the Lifetime series. Surviving R. Kelly detailed the singer’s alleged sexual misconduct over two decades with women and underage girls. An attorney for the disgraced musician has denied all claims.
