#RHoA: Kenya Moore Makes Rare Appearance With Husband Marc Daly: ‘We Appreciate People Rooting for Us’
“Well, we appreciate people rooting for us and wanting the best for us. That’s all I’ll say,” Moore said during an interview with US Weekly magazine Sunday night. The former Miss USA sparked pregnancy rumors after reports surfaced in November that she was undergoing IVF treatments during a trip to Barbados with Daly. Moore previously told Us in December that she was “not opposed” to treatments, but played coy about her plans to start a family with her man.
“He doesn’t focus on my job. He focuses on me, my business,” Moore, 47, told Us on Sunday about their relationship. “He has an MBA, he helps me with Kenya Moore Haircare. Advice. Tactical things. That’s the best thing about being married to someone like him. I have a partner in love, life, and business.”
Moore, who has been noticeably absent during the recent episodes of RHOA despite being a series regular, also spoke to Us about Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s return to the series.
“I’m used to women coming on the show, trying to prove something or just trying to earn a check. I think that’s what Kim has done. It’s sad that she has to resort to such tactics to earn a paycheck. That’s how I feel about it,” Moore said. (Moore and Zolciak-Biermann have been in a very public feud ever since the Don’t Be Tardy star called Moore’s marriage “fake” and the model said Zolciak-Biermann was “pimping” out daughter Brielle for John Legend tickets).
While it does not seem like Moore and Zolciak-Biermann, 39, are going to make up any time soon, Moore told Us to “never say never.”
“I don’t know what the future is. Maybe she can see the error of her ways and change, maybe not,” she added. “But I’m just gonna continue to be me and positive and just look forward to all the great things happening … We’re really blessed right now, I just have to focus on my family.”
Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.

#MUSICNEWS: Eric Benet and Faith Evans Announce “Duets Tour”
Eric BenĂ©t is teaming with another veteran female R&B singer for a tour run! Last year, Benet joined forces with Marsha Ambrosius for “The M.E Tour” and this time around he will partner with Grammy Award-winning artist Faith Evans for the “Duets Tour,” dubbed “a Lifetime of Music in One Night.”
Kicking off in June 2018, the national “Duets” tour will see Benet and Evans covering some of the most popular R&B duets of all time as well as their own classic hits. Some confirmed duets will include their hit collaboration, ‘Georgie Porgie,’ Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway’s ‘Back Together Again,’ and Usher & Alicia Keys’ ‘My Boo.’
Benet and Evans will share a band and a spotlight, performing together throughout a continuous show spanning from the old school to the new school. The trek will continue throughout early 2019, with select stop-offs in some overseas markets.
Prior to hitting the road for the once in a lifetime collaboration, Benet and Evans will head to the studio together.
From barefoot dreadlocked troubadour to suave standard-bearer for contemporary R&B. Eric Benét may have changed his look, but one thing has remained consistent: his dedication to crafting authentic music that engages the soul.
Faith RenĂ©e Evans’ music career spans over two decades — She has released eight studio albums, with over 18 million albums sold and spawning over 30 singles. Faith has also performed on 20+ soundtracks and a host of guest appearances during her career.

#HIPHOPNEWS: Redman: “Muddy Waters Too” Is Coming Soon
After years of anticipation, the long-awaited sequel to Redman’s 1996 album Muddy Waters may finally be on the way.
Reggie Noble hit social media last week to announce that Muddy Waters Too: Thee Album is “coming soon.”
Redman announced a sequel to Muddy Waters at least as far back as 2010. Since then, numerous release dates have been promised but nothing has materialized.
Last May, Redman hit Instagram to preview a number of tracks off the highly anticipated LP. At the time, Reggie Noble also asked 9th Wonder to help on the production front, something the acclaimed producer later accepted.
In 2014, Redman announced that the Muddy Waters sequel would come in the form of two projects: an album and a mixtape.
Redman discussed the original Muddy Waters album and its second installment.
“Muddy Waters is my favorite album and I’m calling it Muddy Waters Too; not the number two but T-O-O,” he explained. “And the reason for that is I don’t want it to compare to with Muddy Waters, the first one. I’m saying this is Muddy Waters Too.”
#PRAYERS: Broadway Star Ruthie Ann Miles Injured, 4-Year-Old Daughter Killed In Car Crash
A car drove through a red light and into a crowd of people in Brooklyn.
Broadway star Ruthie Ann Blumenstein, who goes by the stage name Ruthie Ann Miles, was injured in a car crash on Monday.
Her 4-year-old daughter, Abigail, was killed when they were both struck by a car in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, according to NBC 4 New York.
A white Volvo reportedly drove into a crowd of people after running a red light around 1 p.m. near the intersection of Ninth Street and Fifth Avenue. A 46-year-old man and another woman, Lauren Lew, were also injured. Lew’s 1-year-old son was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two children and their mothers had reportedly recently left a church event at a local community center when the accident occurred.
Miles, who is currently expecting her second child, was critically injured but in stable condition, police said.
The driver, Dorothy Bruns, 44, reportedly told police that she had medical issues. The New York Daily News reported that relatives said she suffered from a seizure while driving. She was arrested at the scene and has not been charged. Mayor Bill DeBlasio said an investigation is underway.
The actress won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for the 2015 revival of the musical “The King & I.” She has starred in “Sunday in the Park with George” alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and previously had a recurring role on the FX spy series “The Americans.”
Many in the Broadway community, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Platt and Kristin Chenoweth, expressed their condolences for Miles on social media after the news broke.
Our dear friend Ruthie Ann Miles encountered tragedy on March 5, 2018, when a reckless driver ran a red light in Brooklyn, striking four people, including Ruthie and her sweet four-year-old daughte...
GoFundMe pages to help the actress, as well as Lew, have been set up by friends and family. As of Tuesday, Miles’ page has raised more than $150,000, far beyond its initial $5,000 goal.
Mel B Says Belafonte Tried to Ruin Eddie Murphy’s Relationship with Daughter
Mel B is accusing her ex, Stephen Belafonte, of trying to sabotage a reconnection between Eddie Murphy and his biological daughter, but she says despite his attempts, Eddie and their daughter have developed a “flourishing relationship.”
According to documents obtained by The Blast, Mel B claims during her marriage to Belafonte, he wanted her “to have nothing to do with” Murphy, who is the father of Mel’s 10-year-old daughter Angel.
She says prior to filing for divorce from Belafonte last year, she contacted Murphy to set up a meeting between him and Angel, but while she was sleeping, Belafonte took her phone and began sending messages to Murphy’s assistant. She claims to not know what the messages said, but “As a result of Stephen’s actions, Angel’s father canceled the visitation and did not want to have any interactions with Stephen.” Mel says “to this day,” Murphy wants nothing to do with him.
She says the “childish action only sought to delay Angel’s unification with her biological father.”
Mel claims that despite his attempts, Angel and Murphy have reconnected. She says during their first visit, “Eddie gave her the biggest hug and repeatedly told her how much he missed her and how much he loves her.”
The Spice Girl also states Murphy bought Angel a cellphone to stay in contact with her, and bought her two french bulldog puppies for her birthday. She named one of them Axel, after Murphy’s “Beverly Hills Cop” character, Axel Foley.
Mel says that Eddie wanted Angel to attend the same school as his other children, so that all his kids receive the same level of education. She says Angel is thriving in the new school, and her demeanor has changed completely since separating from Belafonte.
The documents are being filed as part of Mel’s request to deny Belafonte visitation with Angel. He’s been gunning for more time with the child, but she’s fighting the motion. As we previously reported, she also accused Belafonte of showing their children gruesome videos of “ISIS beheadings.”

Complex captured a screen shot of the Facebook page.
So what happened? Well we’ll keep you posted.
Kourtney Kardashian's Boo Deleted His Instagram After She Alluded To Having Tea On Someone
This whole situation is very shady to me. Kourtney Kardashian posted a series of now deleted Instagram photos that hinted to the fact that she has a tonne of tea to spill about someone. What a tease. This bitch is just dangling a carrot in front of our eyes.
Just as these shady Instagram were deleted, her boy toy Younes Bendjima deleted his entire Instagram account. What the actual hell? To delete your entire (verified) Instagram takes serious effort so obviously something when down.
The couple allegedly also unfollowed one another before he deleted his account which makes the situation even more fishy. Obviously there is something going on because these 3 shady Instagram events can't just be coincides. What was the tea? Why did they unfollow each other? And why did we need to delete his entire account with thousands of photos? I need to know!
This lovers quarrel comes just as Younes began being featured on KUWTK, which could be the reason for their relationship tiff?!
WHAT WAS THE TEA KOURTNEY?! I'm parched.
Donald Glover claims Chevy Chase Made Racist Jokes To him While Filming ‘Community’
Legendary comedian and actor Chevy Chase is accused of making racist comments and directing them at Donald Glover. Dan Harmon, the creator of the TV series “Community,” alleges that he witnessed Chase directing racist jokes at Glover while they filmed the show. He says Chase would make the remarks in an attempt to throw Glover off while filming the NBC comedy.
Chevy [Chase] was the first to realize how immensely gifted Donald was, and the way he expressed his jealousy was to try to throw Donald off. I remember apologizing to Donald after a particularly rough night of Chevy’s non-P.C. verbiage, and Donald said, ‘I don’t even worry about it.’
Glover also confirmed Harmon’s comments, alleging that Chase made these remarks to him. He states,
I just saw Chevy as fighting time—a true artist has to be O.K. with his reign being over. I can’t help him if he’s thrashing in the water. But I know there’s a human in there somewhere — he’s almost too human.
Meanwhile, Chase has responded saying he was “saddened to hear” Glover “perceived me in that light.” The new season of Glover’s “Atlanta” airs this week on FX.
RuPaul Comes Under Fire For Comments About Openly Trans Contestants On ‘Drag Race’
RuPaul, the world-famous drag queen and host of VH1′s critically acclaimed “RuPaul’s Drag Race” franchise, is facing backlash for comments made last week about allowing openly transgender contestants to compete on his hit reality program.
The initial comments appeared in a profile of RuPaul in The Guardian. “Drag loses its sense of danger and its sense of irony once it’s not men doing it, because at its core it’s a social statement and a big f-you to male-dominated culture,” RuPaul said in the interview. “So for men to do it, it’s really punk rock, because it’s a real rejection of masculinity.”
The interviewer then asked about Season 9 contestant Peppermint, the first openly transgender woman to compete on “Drag Race.”
“Mmmm. It’s an interesting area,” RuPaul responded. “Peppermint didn’t get breast implants until after she left our show; she was identifying as a woman, but she hadn’t really transitioned.”
The interviewer then followed up, asking Ru if he would accept a contestant who had “really transitioned” onto the show. The “Drag Race” host responded by saying, “Probably not. You can identify as a woman and say you’re transitioning, but it changes once you start changing your body. It takes on a different thing; it changes the whole concept of what we’re doing. We’ve had some girls who’ve had some injections in the face and maybe a little bit in the butt here and there, but they haven’t transitioned.”
Over the weekend, Ru began facing backlash for these initial comments. But the reality star then doubled down on his statements, re-sharing The Guardian interview Monday morning on his Twitter and posting a series of controversial tweets.
RuPaul almost immediately faced backlash from fans and former contestants alike. Many accused him of being a gatekeeper of sorts for the idea of “what drag is,” and lobbed accusations that the star was excluding women ― cis and trans alike ― from the prospect of competing on “Drag Race.”
How is transitioning to female "performance-enhancing"? That would seem to imply that the end goal of drag is simply to look like the fishiest woman. I was led to believe it was about charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent. And turning the very idea of gender on its head.
Gia Gunn, who appeared on Season 7 of “Drag Race” and came out as transgender in 2017, also spoke out.
Although I do feel the separation from being a drag queen and now a trans woman, there should not be any reason to be “not accepted” when it comes to the art of drag. If you are a fierce artist, your a fierce artist & should be judged based on your art. NOT your gender identity!
Monica Beverly Hillz, another former contestant who came out as trans during the fifth season of “Drag Race,” told Into, “I’ve always been a woman, so what I’ve done to my body or that I hadn’t started hormones while on the show doesn’t take away my identity. Our bodies do not equate our identity.”
“Drag Race” faced criticism in the past for using the phrase “she-mail,” which many viewers perceived as transphobic. The show’s producers stopped using the controversial phrase in 2014.
RuPaul addressed the controversy on Twitter Monday evening, saying he regretted “the hurt I have caused.”
“The trans community are heroes of our shared LGBTQ movement. You are my teachers,” he said. On “Drag Race,” he noted, “the only thing we’ve ever screened for is charisma uniqueness nerve and talent.”
“And that will never change,” he concluded.
Each morning I pray to set aside everything I THINK I know, so I may have an open mind and a new experience. I understand and regret the hurt I have caused. The trans community are heroes of our shared LGBTQ movement. You are my teachers.
Season 10 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” is slated to premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT on March 22 on VH1.

#COVERUP? Jemele Hill Says,”Chris Berman Never Left Any Racially Disparaging Remarks On My Voicemail”
Ex-ESPN employee Adrienne Lawrence filed a discrimination lawsuit against the company this past weekend, and her suit included the claim that Chris Berman left SportsCenter host Jemele Hill a “threatening and racially disparaging voicemail.”
Jemele Hill wrote that Chris Berman “never left any racially disparaging remarks on my voicemail” in a Twitter message Monday night, disputing a claim made in a federal lawsuit by a former network employee.
“A few years ago, I had a personal conflict with Chris Berman, but the way this conflict has been characterized is dangerously inaccurate,” Hill said. “Chris never left any racially disparaging remarks on my voicemail and our conflict was handled swiftly and with the utmost professionalism.”
Time will tell!
Wendy Williams Announces When She Will Return to Daytime TV After a Three-Week Hiatus for Health Issues
Wendy Williams will be back in her signature purple chair on Monday, March 19, after a three-week hiatus.
The Wendy Williams Show host tweeted about her return on Tuesday — and thanked Jerry O’Connell, who will be filling in as her first-ever guest host next week.
“Jerry has been such a good friend to me and to the show,” Williams said in a statement to Us Weekly.“We’re happy to welcome him as a guest host while I’m out getting much needed rest.”
The 44-year-old actor can’t wait to get to work. “I’m excited to help out and fill in,” he said via the statement. “We all know nobody can fill the purple chair like Wendy, but I am honored to sit with her co-hosts and to bring the many fans all the Hot Topics they love. Like Wendy tells us, ‘I am am going to Say It Like I Mean It.’”
Williams, 53, revealed on February 21 that she is taking time off to address issues with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder.
“My doctor has prescribed — are you ready? — three weeks of vacation,” she told her viewers after detailing her symptoms, which included difficulty sleeping and irritability.
Williams, who has been hosting the Fox program since 2008, had never missed a day of work until her physician gave her strict orders. “Her health and well-being must be put before all else,” a rep for the show told Us in February. “The show will be in repeats during this unplanned hiatus.”
