Michael B. Jordan and his FAB Stylists Take Over THR's Power Stylists Issue

Michael B. Jordan.  The hot actor and his stylist are gracing one of 4 covers of The Hollywood Reporter's new 25 Powerful Stylists issue. Rocking threads & loafers from Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Kenzo, Prada and Hermes, Michael B. Jordan is on the cover and pages of The Hollywood Reporter's Stylists & Stars Issue.

The super coveted spots on the mag's 25 Most Powerful Stylists are taken by Michael B. and his stylists.

Michael, whose gearing up to star in The Thomas Crowne Affair remake, spoke about the cover saying:

So proud of the mad genius himself @jeffkkim and thanks to @hollywoodreporter for capturing this moment! "I am smiling..with my eyes".

He credits Jeff K. Kim with pushing him beyond him limits:

"No matter what suits he pulls, there's always a couple of wild cards in there," says Jordan during his cover shoot for The Hollywood Reporter's 25 Most Powerful Stylists issue with Kim, who's named as one of Hollywood's most in-demand men's stylists. "Either one is a joke because he wants to see me react or another one where he sees if I'll be into it just to kind of push the limits a little bit and take a risk."

"I think over time I've built up the nerve to start taking more fashion risks." Clearly it's paid off.

#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey Reacts To Surprise Appearances From The FEDs And Her Daughter Noelle!

Cynthia Bailey was greeted by several surprise appearances on the season finale of Real Housewives Of Atlanta. She was busted not once, but two times! First by the FEDs who showed up on her doorstep inquiring about Apollo Nida‘s belongings, and then by her teenage daughter Noelle, who busted in on her giving Peter Thomas the happy ending special — IN THE KITCHEN (why the kitchen?!) 

“I was surprised and mortified when Noelle and Leon walked in on me giving Peter a massage,” admits Cynthia. “I’m sure they were as well!” Ya think!? 

“Needless to say, the ‘happy ending’ portion of the massage had to be canceled and rescheduled for another time.” OR how about another place? Maybe one that’s no so public, like, a bedroom with a closed door, perhaps!? Seriously though, the “happy ending” being canceled and rescheduled is like the theme of Cynthia’s marriage! 

Moving along to the FEDs surprise visit, Cynthia confesses to being “shocked,” as “most people would.” 

“When Peter was asked by Apollo several years ago to leave his car at our house for a couple of days, there was no cause for Peter not to agree,” Cynthia explains. “At that time, Peter and I were not aware of any reason why this action would later warrant a visit from the FEDs.” Uh huh … so when you later found out Apollo was arrested, indicted, and then went to prison you never though to alert the FEDs that you were in possession of his property? Uh-huh… 

Finally Cynthia reacts to the third most shocking appearance of the episode: Kenya Moore‘s Grinch costume! Cynthia describes her non-BFF’s costume as “‘gone with the wind fabulous’ and the makeup was incredible!” 

“I love her sense of humor,” Cynthia concludes in her Bravo Blog. “She is not afraid to make fun of herself, be silly, and goofy. Kenya is hilarious.” Well at least somebody loves Kenya for being Krayonce. 

Tell Us – Were You Shocked The Feds Came Knocking On Cynthia’s Door? Did She Scar Noelle For Life?

Is there BEEF between tyler Perry & Oprah Winfrey?

Earlier there there rumors that Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry were no longer bffs because he refused to take constructive criticism about his TV shows on Oprah's OWN. 

Well is Tyrler giving us subliminal shade on this rumor?

One day after the hit piece on Oprah and Tyler's fractured friendship went viral Tyler made a post on Instagram thanking the MILLIONS of people who love what he does and how he does it.

Meanwhile Oprah's bestie Gayle King did her best to stamp out the rumors, but ended up fanning the flames, claiming Oprah and Tyler still speak to each other by showing a picture of them at work, while the rumors clearly stated Tyler wasn't invited on Oprah's summer vacation this year because their relationship is strictly business now.

Tyler, following Gayle's lead, also posted a picture of Oprah visiting him at WORK.

Well regardless something seem strained. Time will tell. But can we get into Tyler’s appearance. His skin is very blotchy…..What the Tea Tyler?

RIHANNAMANIA! Films music vid for ‘Needed Me”

That Rihanna reign will not let up! Chick was spotted on the set of her new video with guns and all her boobies on display.

It’s for the track “Needed Me,” a bad a** female anthem to say the least. On the DJ Mustard-produced track, the Bajan beauty turns the tables as the female “savage,” reminding her suitors that THEY need her and not the other way around.

The Pop princess was spotted braless, donning revealing lingerie, inside a waterfront mansion in Miami. And she was packing HEAT.

The “BBHMM” singer carried a gun in one hand as she sashayed through the mansion in a blue thong and sheer gown

WOW!

Ashanti Stalker Convicted Of Felony Stalking, Singer Reacts On Social Media

A Manhattan jury has found Ashanti‘s stalker guilty. It is reported that Devar Hurd, who has been stalking and harassing the singer and her family for nearly a decade, was convicted of felony stalking on Friday.

According to The NY Daily News: This is the third attempt to convict him on the top count in his current indictment. His first trial in 2014 resulted in a mistrial because a juror got sick during deliberations. In October, he was convicted on several counts including criminal contempt but the jury could not reach a consensus on the top count. Hurd, who has delusions that he actually had a relationship with the sexy singer, was convicted in 2009 of stalking and harassing. Prosecutors proved he was at several events attended by Ashanti’s younger sister and that he tweeted at Ashanti hundreds of times in violation of strict orders of protection that were issued after the first conviction.

Hurd will be sentenced on March 31; facing up to four years behind bars – and has been in jail since 2013 in connection with the current case.

On Instagram, Ashanti rejoiced over the verdict with her mom, sister and supporters: “Thank you God for the blessing of this finally being over. & Thank you guys so much for all your prayers!!!” she wrote. “You never know what someone else is going through. I didn’t do a lot of talking about this… Just a lot of Praying. For any other women dealing with anything like this remember to be strong & brave! @liltuneshi @theoriginalmomanger it’s over. #GodIsGreat.”

Shaquille O’Neal Settles Lawsuit With Man he caused Emotional Distress Over a Instagram Post

Shaquille O’Neal has reached a settlement with the man suing him for causing emotional distress by re-posting an Instagram photo that mocked him with the former NBA star agreeing to confidential terms which will dismiss the entire case against him according to our friends over at theJasmineBRAND.com

Back in 2014, O’Neal was sued by a man named Jahmel Binion who accused the retired NBA star of mocking him on social media by re-posting his selfie and captioning it with mean-spirited comments.

Binion has a rare disorder called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia — it causes limited hair growth, missing teeth and facial deformities.

The man sued the NBA star for defamation claiming over 8 million people saw the posts on social media and sought damages for the harm that was done to him.

Shaq fired back at the lawsuit claiming he had no idea the man had a rare medical disorder and deleted the post once finding out. He said that if anyone’s reputation had been damaged it was his own due to people thinking he would mock someone with such a condition. He said Binion had not suffered any damages and was only suing him due to his deep pockets

Then last April, the federal court judge came back with his decision and sided with the NBA stars by dismissing all claims against them. The order stated that while Shaq’s posts were “highly offensive” in subject manner the plaintiff filed the suit in the wrong state. The case was closed with Binion being awarded nothing but he was allowed to re-file the case, which he did shortly after in Florida Court.

Shaq and Binion have been battling it out for months and are currently in the discovery phase of the lawsuit.

On January 4th, Binion headed to court demanding Shaq be sanctioned for failing to show up to mediation that took place last month. The man accused Shaq’s legal team of informing his lawyer Shaq would be present at the meeting. He said the former NBA star didn’t show up and instead was in Los Angeles talking meetings with endorsements and filming a segment for Jimmy Kimmel.

He demanded the judge order Shaq to pay over 13k in sanctions for blowing off the mediation. Shaq fired back demanding the man’s motion be denied and claimed he was never ordered to physically attend the meeting.

The judge came back with his decision and slapped Shaq’s team with sanctions in the $13,058.82, stating Shaq had been ordered to attend in person.

Then on March 18th, Shaq and Binion filed docs in the case explaining they have reached a settlement in which all claims against the NBA star will be dismissed and the case will be closed once and for all.

Amber Heard Talks New Mera Role In “Justice League”

Back in January she was rumored to be in talks to star in the forthcoming “Justice League” flick, and now it’s official- Amber Heard will play the part of Mera.

The “Rum Diary” dame told “Entertainment Tonight” that her costume for the Zack Snyder project is pretty unique- “It’s interesting. I’m wearing, like, half suit of armor, half scales. It’s strange. But we’re in the process of building it now. It’s coming along.”

Director Snyder also gushed, “It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming. But I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get the rest of the superheroes in there.’ But you have to [establish] a world where they can exist.”

This Thing Called Life: Prince Announces His Memoir In Style!

"Y'all still read books, right?" Prince asked from the balcony of Manhattan's Avenue Club on Friday night, knowing what the jubilant response would be from the crowd of publishing folks, journalists and VIPs gathered below.

The evening's occasion was the announcement that Spiegel & Grau, an imprint of Random House publishing, had purchased the rights to the enigmatic 57-year-old music legend's memoir, which is expected sometime in 2017.

In short, improvised remarks, Prince said, "the "working title is 'The Beautiful Ones'," after one of the song of his 1984 hit album, Purple Rain, and that he is being assisted in the endeavor by "by brother Dan." (According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, this is Dan Piepenbring, an editor at The Paris Review.)

Spiegel & Grau's executive editor Chris Jackson, who has previously overseen such noted biographical works by African-American authors as Jay Z's Decoded and Ta-Nehesi Coates' award-winning Between the World and Me, is helming the project.

Doo-wop Singer Lee Andrews, Father of The Roots Drummer, Questlove Dead at 79

Lee Andrews, father of the legendary Roots(Crew) drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and former leader of the Philadelphia doo-wop group Lee Andrews & the Hearts, died Wednesday at 79. His son announced his death via social media.

Mr. Andrews, born Arthur Lee Andrew Thompson, formed the Hearts Philadelphia in 1953. The group later released three charting hits with “Long Lonely Nights” and “Teardrops,” and “Try the Impossible,” in 1957 and 1958. Although the original Hearts group disbanded in 1959, Andrews continued touring, sometimes under the Hearts moniker, throughout his career. In the late 1960s, Andrews would go into semi-retirement and open a clothing store.

The Hearts were inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s Walk of Fame in 1992 and with the induction of the Roots induction last year, Questlove and his father became the first father-and-son duo to be included on the Walk.

Questlove paid a touching tribute to his father on social media Wednesday night, calling the R&B legend the “greatest teacher in my life.” Questlove cited his father’s influence on his musical career in the past, recounting when a young Ahmir made his debut onstage as a drummer. In that instance, his father’s drummer had sprained his arm before a concert, and Questlove was left to fill in.

“My Dad just said, ‘You know the show. Go play it,’” he wrote in Mo’ Meta Blues, his 2013 memoir.

Questlove and the Roots have earned 3 Granny® Awards and 14 nominations, and currently serve as the house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Thompson family. Questlove and dadQuestlove and dad, Lee circa 1974.  

Questlove was rockin’ his fresh fro way back in the day!!

Brandy Gets Advice On How To Make A Relationship Work

We were so excited to see our girl Brandy all happy and in love last year after she got engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Press. Unfortunately, things went downhill for the couple and they parted ways before the Christmas holiday. Still, Brandy has not given up on love just yet.

The singer was recently a guest on a brand new talk show called The Daily Help Line where hosts Spirit and Miles offer up some straight-to-the-point advice to their guests, and Brandy couldn’t help but ask for some advice of her own.

She asked:

I have a deep question for you guys. I’ve been in relationships before. I’ve been the heartbreaker, I have had my heart broken to pieces. But I just want to know the secret of making it work, ’cause time is ticking. I’m 35 and I’m trying to one day get to the next level. The next level! You know? Like marriage maybe? Help me, y’all looking at me like y’all don’t know what I’m talking about. Help me help me.

The co-host Spirit had a pretty good response to her question:

If there was something that we could bottle, honestly, everybody wants to know the secret. And this is the hard part. You’re not really going to like the answer because I think communication every day is the key. And I honestly think that most people are not willing to do what it takes to make a marriage work, much less a relationship. Most of us, we have to ask the question: Why should I share my passwords with my partner? Why do I have to tell them where I am?

[...] I really think with all sincerity, I really think that relationships are hard, and people don’t want to work hard. You have to tell your partner, ‘If we’re going to do this, I mean literally do this, it needs to be ’til death do us part, not ’til divorce do us part.’ So if divorce is never an option, and your personal happiness always has to be an option, then what you’ll say is ‘Hey listen, we have a problem and I refuse to be unhappy so we need to figure this out. We need to get to resolution. When you take it off the table, then you have the opportunity for resolution, you have the opportunity to forgive, and you have the opportunity for forever. Forgive. You can’t hold on to stuff.”

Brandy’s response was, “Why weren’t you around two years ago in my life? [laughs]”

Communication and not running when the going gets tough. It sounds so simple, yet it’s so hard for couples in this day and age.

Watch Brandy’s appearance on The Daily Help Line HERE!

Beyonce & Nicki Minaj's Official "Flawless" Remix -- THOT Shots & ElevatorGate

While taking a mini-break from the On The Run tour, Beyonce tapped Nicki Minaj to help her floss all over the just released "Flawless" remix. And both ladies came out the gate swinging...unapologetically.

On the remix, posted to Beyonce's official website, Mrs. Carter has some things to get off her chest.  While adding in new verses and arrangements on the interlude-like track from the Beyonce album, the diva says:

"These THOTS can't clock me nowadays..."

And yes, she even addressed Elevatorgate...with zero apologies:

"And we could go around and get some good karma, but no.

We escalatin', up in this b***h like elevators. Of course sometimes s**t goes down when it’s a billion dollars on an elevator."

That last line she repeated twice to make sure y'all heard it.  She wrapped up her bars saying:

"You wish I was your poundcake...You wish I was your baby mama."

"Say what you want I'm the sh*t....I want everybody to feel like this tonight."

As usual, Beyonce is mixing tough words that many may take as strikes at other women...all while uplifting others by saying they should feel the same way about themselves.

With Bey interrupting about "thirsty b*tches", Nicki spits some bars about why she believes she's the queen of the rap game, why she and Bey are "every hood n*gga's dream" and her usual raunchy lyrics about her "cookie" being top notch. :

"Yo, like MJ doctor, they killing me/Propofol/I know they hope I fall/But tell 'em winning is my motherf*ckin protocol/ Cause I score before I ever throw the ball These bitches washed up and aint no soap involved...

We wouldn't be surprised if that last line was a subtle shot at Remy Ma...since folks like to reference soap when talking about folks who are locked up.

Southern belle Bey also included a sample of Outkast's "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" on the horn riff. 

Peep the remix HERE!

 

IT'S OVER! Michael Strahan & Nicole Murphy End Their 5-Year-Engagement and He also ACCEPTS Pro Football Hall Of Fame Nomination...Sans Nicole

It's over! "Live with Kelly & Michael" host and "GMA"'s newest addition, Michael Strahan, is now a single man again.  Both his and Nicole Murphy's reps confirmed the split to People magazine today:

The model and VH1 star ended her five-year engagement to the morning television host and retired NFL player, Murphy's rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship," his rep tells PEOPLE.

Michael, 42, was previously married to Jean Muggli, and they share custody of their twin daughters Sophia and Isabella.  And that split was quite messy.

46-year-old Nicole, who stars on VH1's "Hollywood Exes", has five kids with Eddie Murphy and lives full time in L.A.

We can only wonder if the huge blended family and bi-coastal relationship payed a factor in the break-up.  Not to mention it seems Michael doesn't even have a minute of free time on his hands.

The twosome went through their share of rocky times.  In 2009, a source claimed that Nicole accused Michael of putting a tracking device in her car when he suspected her of cheating on her.  And in 2012, they allegedly broke up for a bit.

Did they stay together to keep up appearances?  Or were they legit trying to make it work...and life got in the way?  We'll never know. He also ACCEPTS Pro Football Hall Of Fame Nomination...Sans Nicole Murphy. Talk about bitter sweet. "Live with Kelly & Michael" host and "GMA"'s newest addition Michael Strahan accepted his nomination into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last night. And as exciting as that news is, it comes just one day before calling off he and his ex-fiancee “Hollywood Exes” star Nicole Murphy called off their five-year engagement.

The former couple noted distance and grueling work schedules as the reasons behind their split. Michael is one of the hardest working men in television right now. He’s doing "Live" Kelly Ripa on ABC, he just started his "GMA" gig and he's also a Fox sports analyst during the NFL football season.

But on a happier note, he accepted his nomination into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and received his distinctive gold dinner jacket. The former defensive end (who spent his entire 15-year career playing for the Giants) was the last one to give his speech at the NFL Class of 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony at Fawcett Stadium in Ohio, and he thanked all those who helped him along the way.

During his speech, the single-season sack record holder thanked all of the Hall of Famers that surrounded him, the New York Giants, coaches, one of the greatest pass rushers in the NFL Lawrence Taylor and reflected on his Super Bowl XLII win in 2008.

Michael noted this weekend as being "the best weekend of my life."

Eric Garner’s Death By Illegal NYPD Chokehold Ruled A Homicide

The death of Eric Garner, who died after being placed in an illegal chokehold by a NYPD officer, has been ruled a homicide.

According to the New York Daily News, a spokesman from the New York City Medical Examiner said on Friday, August 1 that Garner died from “compression of the neck” as well as of his chest while he was being held down by authorities. The ME’s autopsy also pointed out that Garner’s death was also partially attributed to his weight, asthma and high blood pressure.

Garner died on July 17, after being stopped by officers in Staten Island for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes. However, witnesses say he was only tying to break up a fight. Footage which captured a portion of the incident which basically showed Garner dying in police custody, went viral.

The question now is will the late Eric Garner, and his family, receive justice? At the moment, no one from the NYPD has actually been charged for his death.

Bill Clinton Says He Could Have Killed Osama Bin Laden On September 10

Former president Bill Clinton has been living with a secret for more than decade that could have altered American history as we know it.

An unearthed recording discovers that the popular commander-in-chief had the opportunity to rid the world of Osama Bin Laden a day before the September 11 attacks. But his reasoning for not doing so during the lame duck period of his presidency may require some critical judgement to form an opinion.

Reports NBC News:

The recording was lost and forgotten about until last week, when Michael Kroger, the former head of the Liberal Party in the Australian state of Victoria, remembered he had the tape, and Sky News in Australia played it on Thursday.

“I’m just saying, you know, if I were Osama bin Laden — he’s a very smart guy, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about him — and I nearly got him once,” Clinton says in the recording. “I nearly got him. And I could have killed him, but I would have to destroy a little town called Kandahar in Afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children, and then I would have been no better than him. And so I just didn’t do it.”

To play devil’s advocate, the attacks on the Twin Towers very well may have been carried out with the same intensity had Clinton acted on the strike. No one will ever know for sure.

Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011 during a Navy Seals operation in Pakistan.

TV FAB: Martin Lawrence RETURNS To TV On “Partners

Aguilera and her fiancé Matt Rutler are expecting a baby girl, a younger sister to Christina’s son Max from her marriage to Jordan Bratman.

Kelly Rowland Confirms She’s Having A Baby Boy

Kelly Rowland is having a baby boy! The “Gone” songstress accidentally confirmed the news during an interview at a Caress event on Wednesday.

“We’re very excited,” she said. “So far, everything has been good. I just feel like the baby is already [spoiled] rotten — like literally, my Caress family has gotten him all of his little bathing stuff, his toys. It’s just so cool.” After realizing what she’d already spilled the beans, she stated; “It, it’s…aw, f–k it! It’s a boy. It’s a boy!”

There was a little bit of a hint in the photo she posted announcing her pregnancy, which showed baby Jordan sneakers alongside an adult-size pair for her husband Tim Witherspoon. She captioned that pic with - “I’ll be stuntin like my daddy.”

She also spoke with Us Weekly at the event; sharing some of her pregnancy cravings. “Pizza is really tasty these days,” she admitted with a laugh. “That and anything between two pieces of bread.” She also added that she feels good, and that looking at her body in its entirety right now makes her emotional; “I could almost cry right now just thinking about it because it’s such a gift! It’s such an amazing gift.”

Congrats!

Disabled Man Sues Shaquille O’Neal, Trey Burke & Waka Flocka For Instagram Slander 

The Michigan man with Ectodermal Dysplasias who become an Internet laughingstock thanks to Shaquille O’Neal, Trey Burke and Waka Flocka Flame is looking to quell his emotional distress by digging into their pockets.

Jahmel Binion, 23, filed a lawsuit in Macomb County Circuit Court alleging he suffers from “defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and general negligence,” The Macomb Daily has learned.

In late April, Shaq lead the charge when he posted a photo on his Instagram account imitating the natural gaze of Binion for his nearly eight million plus Twitter followers to laugh at. Binion’s condition prevents him producing sweat and growing hair and teeth, so his appearance generally throws people for a curve upon first glance.

Soon after the Shaq posting, NBA rookie Trey Burke and Waka Flocka followed suit on their social media accounts, resulting in Binion becoming a trending topic in the worst possible way.

After realizing the psychological damage they were doing (thanks to some hefty online scolding) all three celebrities publicly apologized and Shaq actually made a personal phone call.

Binion’s attorney, John Henke III isn’t as forgiving and the complaint in the lawsuit is nothing short of scathing.

“The defendants mocked and ridiculed the plaintiff, a person completely unknown to themselves in public forums where their activity would be widely disseminated,” the lawsuit claims. “The defendants’ communications clearly implied that the plaintiff was an appropriate object of mockery, ridicule and shame” and “had the effect of lowering the plaintiff’s reputation in the eyes of those who respected the views and opinion of the defendants.”

The lawsuit is also seeking to collect more that $25,000 in damages.

Jada Pinkett Smith Goes High Fashion For ‘The Edit’, Talks Ditching The Rules & Going With The Flow In Marriage

Jada Pinkett Smith is out there serving high fashion realness in Net-A-Porter’s The Edit. The 42-year-old actress recently ditched her string bikini vacation-wear for something more upscale for her fierce shoot with the web publication.

Inside, the Gotham actress dishes on her 17-year marriage to Will Smith. In the mag, she says the actor is “everything” and feels like “my husband” is way too small of a title for a him since it doesn’t truly capture what he means in her life. She also said we women get too caught up on the idea of what a husband should be, and it wasn’t until the couple ditched the rules that she was able to enjoy Will in all his glory.

Elsewhere, she speaks on being inspired by Willow and staying active while keeping her gym time to a minimum.

Check the highlights!

On her relationship with Will:

We used to have all these rules, [but] as you go on in your relationship, you just get into a flow. The thing I love is being in a place where it’s just like, Will, to me, encompasses everything. It’s almost as if calling him ‘my husband’ is too small of a word for what he means in my life — and especially how I feel we, as women, identify the idea of a husband. I really had to mature and expand that. I think I had a very stuck idea of what a husband looks like, what a wife should be. Once I broke all of that, a whole new world opened for me and man, oh, man, I got to see him in all his glory. And so that’s what it’s evolved into. And I’m just ecstatic about it.

On how she copes with the gay and infidelity rumors:

The coping technique is knowing what the truth is – there’s no better technique. When you know that what’s going on in your house is so the opposite [of what’s being said], and you also know that when there’s mystery, people fill in the gaps, that’s OK. And then you look back at it and look at how creative people can be, and it’s kind of entertaining. We can laugh because it’s so ridiculous. But I get it. I don’t take it personally.

On her kids:

I want my kids to be happy and I want them to be themselves, I was saying to a friend the other day, ‘Remember, our kids are not us.’ They’re not. Sometimes we’re trying to fix things that happened to us or projecting [onto them], and that’s a terrible, terrible trap.

On feeling strong and staying fit as she gets older:

You know what? I don’t know if I feel stronger than ever, but I do feel better than ever. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that it’s about being physical every day. You don’t have to go to the gym if that’s not your thing. You can go outside your door and walk around your block. You can take a brisk walk, a light jog, a slow stroll if you want! I feel like, as I’ve gotten, I look better than ever and I work out less. I’m never in the gym for [more than] 45 minutes.

Per custom, a pair of Air Jordan 11s are set to send the masses into a full frenzy just before Christmas. Despite similarities to the “Columbia” colorway, the upcoming sneakers have been coined the “Legend Blue.”

AJ Sole provides a detailed look of the fan-favorite silhouette and the packaging. The shoe dons a white upper, which looks even icier on the patent leather than lines the toe. Familiar Jumpman branding appears in a distinct blue on the side of the kicks and on the tongue. A blue sole makes the cypher complete.

Video: Keyshia Cole – “She”

A lingerie-clad Keyshia Cole puts on a private show in her bedroom, in the video for her single, “She.” As she dances, there’s someone dressed in a white suit and hat, kicked back watching her — which is eventually revealed to be her.

Although the release of the song sparked speculation that Keyshia was referring to her being intimate with another woman, the “Next Time” songstress says that’s not the case, as she’s actually referring to herself. “It’s about self love,” she stated.

“She” is set to appear on Keyshia’s upcoming sixth studio album, Point of No Return.

Meanwhile, she sings:

“Down to try something different

Lips and legs, soft skin so feminine

Curves like me, covered in my cherry scent

…

Fingers up and down my legs

Feel like mine

Getting high off my own supply

Feels so right”
