OH LAWD Mo’Nique Going after Tyler Perry, Again. Calling the Madea star a ‘Coward’!😱👀
Ya Girl Mo’Nique is back at it again. The comedienne is seemingly becoming known more for talking about people’s money than her own comedy routines. It seems she’s never going to stop. But, if you don’t agree with her methods, you got to admit that the sis is sticking to her truth and hasn't wavered.
Everybody remembers the Oscar winner for asking us to boycott Netflix because she felt like they didn’t offer her enough coin for a comedy special.
Before that, she went off on major Hollywood players, tell Lee Daniels what he could do, and she even had the nerve to put media mogul Oprah on blast! Precious mama is not playing out here.
Now, she’s popping off on Tyler Perry in an interview with Comedy Hype, bashing the Madea creator as a fraud and she even called him a flat-out coward. WOW!
Holding nothing back, Mo claims that Tyler Perry never came out to the public to say she did nothing wrong, although he admitted it in a phone call in private. She said, “He’s never come about publicly and said that," and that's why she still has beef with him.
Oh, and sis wasn't done there. She brought up Tarij P. Henson and Tiffany Haddish’s name and dragged Tyler for bragging about how much he paid one and copping the other a new whip.
Mo said, “He says, ‘I’m the first person to pay Taraji P. Henson the most money she’s ever made.’ And then we say, ‘But did you pay her fairly?’ And then he said, ‘I paid her more than she’s ever made.’ What does that mean, brother?” Good God Almighty!!
“When you go and buy Tiffany Haddish a car” and her husband Sidney Hicks chimed in, “If I give you what you are worth, you can buy your own car.”
Oh, they really telling how they really feel. Mo and her hubby compared Tyler buying them things like the white man did in the film, Cadillac Records. He accused Tyler of being a "scammer." Instead of buying her things, she wanted to get paid.

WOW! I seriously hopes this pays off for her in the long run.
#LGBTQRPIDE! 'Entertainment Weekly' Launches Pride Issue, Hosts Stonewall Event
In celebration of Pride Month, Entertainment Weekly has unveiled the cover stars of its annual LGBTQ issue, along with plans for a celebration at the historic Stonewall Inn.
This year’s issue features six LGBTQ celebrities, including Anderson Cooper, Neil Patrick Harris, Janet Mock, Melissa Etheridge, Wilson Cruz and Ruby Rose, each adorning one of the covers.
The issue also includes a tie-in with brand Pop Sockets, which created two rainbow-centric PopGrips to coincide with the issue’s release.
“In 2015, we started publishing an annual LGBTQ issue that has been well received by the industry,” Henry Goldblatt, EIC of Entertainment Weekly, told Publishers Daily. “It has been a great new addition this year to collaborate creatively with Pop Sockets on pride-themed PopGrips that benefit an important cause.”
The PopGrips are available for purchase online, with 50% of sales going to nonprofit The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, as part of the company’s Poptivism program.
“EW and PopSockets quickly found their common purpose in The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, the charity committed to eliminating the social intolerance that is profoundly impacting the lives of LGBTQ citizens throughout America and abroad,” Entertainment Weekly publisher Ellie Duque noted.
The PopSocket collaboration will be promoted across EW’s print, social and digital platforms, in addition to getting a boost from Goldblatt’s editor’s letter.
PopSockets CMO Becky Gebhardt added the company is “thrilled to be partnering” with the publication.
In addition to a roundtable discussion between the issue’s cover stars included in the issue, the stars and issue will be celebrated at a tie-in event at the Stonewall Inn, during the 50thanniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
Several advertisers have signed on with issue-specific ads, including Miller Lite. Netflix, one of the presenting sponsors for the Stonewall event, contributed an ad for its “Tales of the City.” A special “Tales of the City” installation will be a part of the Stonewall event, said Duque.
#RHOA: Dennis McKinley Is Considering Taking Legal Action After Being Accused Of Cheating On Porsha
Youtuber Latasha Kebe went on the platform accusing McKinley of having an affair with ‘WAGS’ star Sincerely Ward. The accusations come amid rumors that Porsha and Dennis unfollowed each other on Instagram.
But McKinley is fighting back, now threatening legal action against the alleged slander.
“These false and slanderous allegations against me are made solely to damage my reputation, jeopardize my ongoing businesses, and negatively impact my family,” McKinley said in a statement to US Weekly.
“My attempts to ignore this slander have only empowered Latasha Kebe (aka Tasha K.) to create more false accusations. I am currently taking legal action — and am currently being represented by Michael T. Sterling of Dreyer Sterling, LLC.”
Michael Sterling happens to be the hubby of fellow RHOA star, Eva Marcille.
Sterling told E! News, “I handle legal matters in the court of law, not the court of public opinion and I will take whatever appropriate measures I can to defend Dennis’ good name.”
Meanwhile, Ward wants nothing to do with the entire situation.
“I really have no clue where this came from. It’s bizarre, I’ve never met Dennis,” she told the outlet of the allegations.
“In Atlanta, it’s easy to have 6-degrees of separation [but] to my knowledge, I don’t even know if we’ve even been in the same room together.”
Porsha has been mum on the cheating accusations so far, but she did take to IG earlier this week to tell her fans:
“I am loved, called, and chosen. I am rich in every way and generous on every occasion. I’m anointed, appointed, equipped and enabled by the power of God that works within me. No weapon formed against me will prosper and no enemy scheme against me will succeed. I live, breathe, and serve powerfully under the shelter of the most high God.”
#Empire: (Lucious Lyon) Terrence Howard Under Criminal Investigation for Tax Evasion
“Empire” star Terrence Howard is currently being investigated by the federal government for criminal tax evasion.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the feds are interested in possible financial crimes committed by Howard, his third wife Mira Howard (they got divorced but got re-engaged last December) and Universal Bridges Inc. (a company owned by Mira).
The case stems out of the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and is still ongoing.
We’ve learned that the actor has hired a high profile white collar criminal attorney to defend him in the investigation. Our sources say within the last few weeks, federal investigators have already had initial discussions with Howard.
The actor has had his share of tax issues over the years. As The Blast first reported, he was hit with a tax lien in April by the State of California Franchise Tax Board for a total $143,538.61. The lien stems from taxes Howard reportedly owes from 2010.
Howard was also hit with tax liens from the federal government back in 2010 for $1.1 million and in 2006 for over $600,000.
The criminal investigation is just the latest controversy to hit show “Empire.”
On Tuesday, the show’s co-creator, Lee Daniels, officially put an end to speculation that Jussie Smollett would return to the show following allegations he staged an attack against himself. Responding to a story that the writers of the show were preparing for Smollett’s return late in the final season, Daniels tweeted, “Jussie will NOT be returning to Empire.”

#HipHopNews: Gucci Mane Teases Meek Mill Collaboration ‘Backwards’
Fresh off his Justin Bieber collaboration, Gucci Mane is previewing his summer-ready collaboration with Meek Mill called “Backwards.” Guwop shared a minute-long teaser of the Zaytoven-produced track on Instagram.
“I pull up like Chauncey Billups / Ni**a, don’t gas me / I don’t need a fill up,” raps Gucci before the Dreamchasers boss chimes in: “She wanna check from me / She gotta check for me / Fu**in’ the two baddest bitches on Instagram.”

Last week, Gucci dropped his surprise Bieber collaboration “Love Thru the Computer” and is now in the studio working on a new album, his first since December’s Evil Genius.
Gayle King Told Wendy Williams NO THANKS For Sit Down Interview! She Thinks It’s Too Trashy For Morning TV
It’s highly unlikely that Wendy Williams will be giving her rumored tell all sit-down interview to Gayle King.
As previously reported, the daytime talk show host is ready to talk—but she reportedly wants an hour-long primetime slot to do so. Her team is said to have reached out to multiple networks, in an effort to secure a prime-time slot.
However, according to new reports, Gayle declined the interview, as she allegedly perceived that it would be too ‘trashy’ for morning television.
Gayle made headlines earlier this year for her highly viewed sit-down interview with R.Kelly.
Reportedly, Wendy has approached Oprah’s OWN Network, ABC, NBC and CBS for an exclusive sit-down to discuss her personal life.
A source claims, ‘Her people want either a morning show or an hour long prime-time special, they want Wendy to sit down with a big name anchor and Gayle King was at the top of the list.But she turned it down, it’s not clear exactly why but there’s a lot of talk that Gayle thought sitting down with Wendy, dredging over her car crash personal life, might be a little too trashy for morning television. Wendy also wants a longer interview.’
The insider claims GMA’s Robin Roberts may be an option.
Tyler Perry Begs Actors to Stop Buying Billboards to Get His Attention: 'Please Stop'
Tyler Perry is sending out a very direct message to actors who want to work with him.
The 49-year-old screenwriter and director shared a photo of a billboard featuring actress Racquel Bailey that read, “ATTENTION MR. PERRY Racquel Bailey Is Your Next Leading Lady.”
Perry shared the photo on his official Facebook page, but not to applaud the actress on her creative outreach.
“Auhhh…. soooooo…… here’s the deal. This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows,” Perry wrote on Facebook. “Please DON’T DO THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This is the third time that someone has done this. PLEASE STOP! To audition is FREE!! I’m sure you can use that money for a better purpose.”
He continued, “I love that you want to work with me, and I love that you invest in yourself. But when you do things like this it puts my team on high alert and makes me look at you sideways. I know the message that you want to send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite.”
“Again, the best way to work for me is to AUDITION and it’s FREE! We post breakdowns all the time for actors. JUST COME AND AUDITION,” he added.
He next directed his message to Bailey, telling her, “And by the way, you were great in THE NIGHT OF! It was my favorite show a couple years ago. I ALREADY SAW YOU!! So just audition and keep your money!! Again, I appreciate your effort, but that’s not the way to work for me. God bless you dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day!!”
Bailey has starred in a handful of TV shows and short films, including The Jim Gaffigan Show and in two episodes of The Night Of, both of which aired in 2016.
Nipsey Hussle’s brother battles Crips for the rights to ‘The Marathon Continues’
Nipsey Hussle's brother is battling the Rolling 60s Crips street gang for the rights to Nipsey's catchphrase "The Marathon Continues."
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Samuel "Blacc Sam" Asghedom filed a trademark application on May 29 to lock down "The Marathon continues" for licensing rights to companies and individuals for a variety of uses, including entertainment services, music licensing, marketing and promotions, and charitable events.
The Marathon Continues was the title of Nipsey's sixth mixtape which was released in November 2011. His now-shuttered clothing store, The Marathon Clothing, is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Sam is also asking a court to be named the administrator for his brother's estate since Nipsey did not leave a will before he was gunned down outside his clothing store by rival gang banger Eric Holder in March.
However, the Crips filed an application to trademark "The Marathon Continues" through their holding company on May 16, 12 days earlier than Blacc Sam.
The notorious street gang claim they want to use "TMC" to promote charitable events in the community and to focus on "gang intervention."
Once the U.S. Patent & Trademark office notices the dual application filings, they will have to determine who actually has a right to profit off the "The Marathon Continues."

The Raptors got another monster performance from Kawhi Leonard, who finished with 30 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals, but Kyle Lowry and Danny Green's 3-point shooting made the difference in Toronto's victory.

Madonna denies ever asking Trump on a date, claims Harvey Weinstein was 'flirtatious': 'I certainly wasn't interested'
Donald Trump never had a chance with Madonna — even before he called her “disgusting.”
The iconic performer, 60, is profiled in the New York Times and was asked about how, back in 1991, Trump, 72, pretended to be his own publicist and called People magazine and claimed Madonna was rabidly chasing him in hopes of dating him. The fame-seeking real estate mogul was apparently trying to deflect attention from headlines that he was stepping out on mistress turned girlfriend Marla Maples.
Madonna told writer Vanessa Grigoriadis it was a bunch of hooey. It never happened. She did, however, recall doing a photo shoot at Mar-a-Lago and said Trump called her incessantly while she was there.
“I did a Versace campaign with Steven Meisel at his house in Palm Beach,” Madonna recalled. Trump’s phone calls didn’t stop. “He kept going: ‘Hey, is everything OK? Finding yourself comfortable? Are the beds comfortable? Is everything good? Are you happy?’”
Donatella Versace, who was in charge of the shoot, recalled the experience — and how “pushy” Trump was — in a 2016 interview. The designer said Trump actually showed up for the shoot — even though “when you’ve rented [a space], you don’t want the owner to come in.” She said they “couldn’t get rid of him” and Trump even tried to gain entry to the set. She recalled shooing him away, and noted that the fast-food obsessed president “brought us Kentucky Fried Chicken! I mean, excuse me. Models, you know? It’s fashion!”
In the NYT piece, Madonna went on to say that Trump has a weak character, but it isn’t a shock. As an alpha male, “they’re overcompensating for how insecure they feel — a man who is secure with himself, a human who is secure with themselves, doesn’t have to go around bullying people all the time.”
On her new album, Madame X, Madonna explores her anger over political powers like Trump “who seemed to be systematically removing all of our personal freedoms.”
The music industry icon had said she moved to Portugal, in part, to get her family — now just her four younger kids — out of the U.S. while he’s in office. (The other part was so that her son David could attend a top soccer academy there.)
Madonna drew Trump’s ire in 2017 by saying at the Women’s March she had considered “blowing up the White House.” He fired back, “Honestly, she’s disgusting. I think she hurt herself very badly. I think she hurt that whole cause,” he said. “I thought what she said was disgraceful to our country.” (However, he didn’t give her a nickname — like “washed up psycho” Bette Midler — so he must not have been that angry.)
In the NYT interview, Madonna was also asked about Time’s Up and #MeToo. Her 1991 Madonna: Truth or Dare documentary was distributed by disgraced movie maker Harvey Weinstein’s Miramax. They had other collaborations as well, including Weinstein executive producing her 2011 film W.E.
“Harvey crossed lines and boundaries and was incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together; he was married at the time, and I certainly wasn’t interested,” she said.
She added: “I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business. And we were all, ‘Harvey gets to do that because he’s got so much power and he’s so successful and his movies do so well and everybody wants to work with him, so you have to put up with it.’”
So when he was accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women in 2016, “I was really like, ‘Finally.’ I wasn’t cheering from the rafters because I’m never going to cheer for someone’s demise. I don’t think that’s good karma anyway. But it was good that somebody who had been abusing his power for so many years was called out and held accountable.” (Weinstein, awaiting trial for sexual assault in NYC, has maintained his innocence.)
June Ambrose Apologizes to the Late Kate Spade's Family for her CFDA Awards Flub. But Did Major Fashion Figure heads IGNORE Her on the Red Carpet?
June Ambrose is addressing her blunder during the live stream at the 2019 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City on Monday night.
The costume designer and stylist was interviewing entrepreneur and influencer Hannah Bronfman -- who wore a Kate Spade New York dress to the event -- when she mistakenly asked her if Kate Spade would be joining her at the awards. The designer died last June, and her death was ruled a suicide. She was 55 years old.
Ambrose took to Twitter on Tuesday to apologize
"Good morning I want to address an error I made last night while hosting the CFDA red carpet," she wrote. "I sincerely apologize to the family and friends of the late Kate Spade, in addition to the team at Kate Spade for having misspoken. I made a mistake and I’m sorry to those I offended."
Good morning I want to address an error I made last night while hosting the CFDA red carpet. I sincerely apologize to the family and friends of the late Kate Spade, in addition to the team at Kate Spade for having misspoken. I made a mistake and I’m sorry to those I offended.
During the interview, Ambrose called Spade one of her favorite American designers, then asked Bronfman, "Are you here with Kate? Is she here? Did you come before her or did she skip by me?"
Bronfman answered, "Well, the team from Kate is here, we're four."
Bronfman did attend the CFDA Awards with Kate Spade New York Creative Director Nicola Glass, Booksmart stars Beanie Feldstein and Molly Gordon, as well as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, who all wore dresses by the label.
But wait was she SNUBBED by Fashion’s elite? According to eyewitnesses Virgil Abloh, Tom Ford and Anna Wintour all walked right past June on the red carpet even though she was hosting the event.
Man, When it rains it pours!
2018 French Open Runner Up Says Serena Williams Has ‘Bad Personality’
Tennis fans were shocked when Australian pro tennis player Dominic Thiem accused women's superstar Serena Williams of having a "bad personality."
Thiem was outraged when his post-match press conference was interrupted by officials who wanted him to make way for Williams to speak to the press after losing her tennis match.
Thiem was instructed to vacate the main press room to make way for Williams, who had just lost her match.
Thiem was livid. "I don't really get it, seriously. I mean, what the hell? No, but it's a joke, really. I have to leave the room because she's coming?" Thiem reportedly said in anger.
"What's my point of that? I have to leave the room because she's coming. Well I'll leave also then. I can also do whatever I want."
Tournament director Guy Forget apologized to Thiem for making him leave the room.
"Actually, I wasn't angry or frustrated. Maybe for a couple of minutes or so. It is just the principle," he later told Eurosport Germany. "It doesn't matter, if it is me who sits in there. I still made a wrong statement. I said that I am not a junior anymore. But even if a junior is in there, every player has to wait," he said.
He specifically blamed Serena for always demanding special treatment from tournament officials.
"It is a matter of course. It also shows a bad personality in my opinion. I am 100% sure [Roger] Federer or [Rafael] Nadal would never do something like that," he added.
Serena and Naomi Osaka, the 2018 US Open champ, were both ousted in round 3 of the 2019 French Open tennis tournament.
The 37-year-old Compton native was eliminated in the third round by 20-year-old American player Sofia Kenin. Earlier in the day, the No. 1 seed Naomi Osaka was ousted 6-4, 6-2 by 42nd ranked player Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic.
Diddy Celebrates 8th Grade Graduation of Twin Daughters He Shares With Kim Porter
Diddy was THAT parent during his twin daughters graduation ceremony from the 8th grade.
The rap mogul could not have been prouder of his girls, Jessie and D’Lila, on Wednesday afternoon and he filmed what seemed like every second of the big day.
He was there to film them as they sat on the stage, as they sang with their classmates, as they practiced their speeches, as they gave their speeches, as they danced in their seats … and he was right there on the side of the stage as they walked off when the ceremony was over.
The day had a somber undertone after the passing of the girls’ mother, Kim Porter, in November 2018. Diddy did not mention Kim in various social media posts but both girls shared a memory of their mother during their graduation speech.
Diddy shared an adorable photo after the ceremony, which he captioned, “Congratulations @the_combs_twins!!!!! ❤️❤️ We are all so proud of you!!!!”
Last month, Diddy and the twins attended the Women of Excellence luncheon in Beverly Hills on the day before their first Mother’s Day since Porter’s tragic passing.
Alabama Could Soon Punish Convicted Child Sex Offenders With Chemical Castration
Alabama legislators have passed a bill that will require pedophiles to undergo chemical castration as a condition of their parole.
If Gov. Kay Ivey signs off on this new castration bill, named HB 379., it will apply to people over the age of 21 who have been convicted of sexually assaulting a minor. Republican state Rep. Steve Hurst introduced the bill explaining pedophiles “have marked this child for life and the punishment should fit the crime.” Ivey says he previously introduced the bill that he believes will prevent sex offenders from committing the crime. “I had people call me in the past when I introduced it and said, ‘Don’t you think this is inhumane?'” Hurst told WIAT-TV.
“I asked them what’s more inhumane than when you take a little infant child, and you sexually molest that infant child when the child cannot defend themselves or get away, and they have to go through all the things they have to go through. If you want to talk about inhumane, that’s inhumane.” “If we do something of this nature, it would deter something like this happening again in Alabama and maybe reduce the numbers,” said Hurst.
Hurst’s initial bill, which was introduced back in 2016, stated child molesters older than 21 would have to pay for their own surgical castration before being released from state custody. The updated bill would make felons take medication that interferes with their sex drive. The first dose would be given to them at least one month prior to the offender’s release. Afterwards, they would have to go to the Department of Public Health for the next treatment.
Hurst says the medication is not permanent, as the castration can be reversed, but the court would have to decide when that can happen. Attorney Raymond Johnson told WIAT-TV the bill may face a challenge if it is signed into law because the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prevents cruel and unusual punishment. “They’re going to claim that it is cruel and unusual punishment for someone who has served their time and for the rest of their life have to be castrated,” Johnson said. The attorney argues that the amount of prison time should be sufficient in paying what you owe to society, which includes probation or parole.
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
Her Empire Her business was valued just shy of $1 billion back in October 2017.
So it comes as no wonder Jessica Alba feels comfortable calling herself 'smart.'
The 37-year-old business woman admitted in her April 2019 Health magazine cover story that had questioned her intelligence until her success in the business world.
She was interviewed by fellow entrepreneur Ayesha Curry who asked her what she has been too hard on herself for in the past.
Alba answered: 'When I was younger, I thought I wasn’t smart. I didn’t have a conventional or higher education. Now, after starting a business, I feel OK with identifying myself as smart.'
She goes on to admit that even she has even struggled in the acting world as she has not had the same education in theater.
The Dark Angel star explained: 'I even felt inferior saying I was an actress without being classically trained. It took me a while to find my confidence.'
'I may not be the best actress ever, but do I have my moments? Definitely. And don’t underestimate street smarts—all of that hustle and life experiences. You have to roll with the punches—that’s how you’re going to be successful in life.'
The Honest Company was founded by Alba in 2011 and will soon be extending to Honest Beauty slated for a release later this year in Western Europe.
Jessica is also known as a Hollywood celebrity who has known how to take care of her body so no doubt many will be surprised that she isn't a fan of the latest health trend of celery juicing.
She said: 'I tried celery juicing, and it empties your bowels in a very violent way all day long—and I like things that taste good, and that just doesn’t taste good.'
The A-lister's definition of wellness is about 'checking in' as she says she changes up her routine on a daily basis while holding herself accountable.
She said: 'Some days I just need to go in my room and read a book for an hour and put a face mask on. Other days I need to wake up at 5:15 a.m. and get a spin class in to feel good—even though I hate waking up early.
'I’ve tried to get into TM, a type of meditation, but it felt so hard-core. Wellness should feel like something I want to do. If I’m going to do a meditation, I like to do a guided one, and there are apps for that.'
She has been married to 40-year-old film producer Cash Warren since 2008 as they have three kids together: Honor, 10, and Haven, seven, and son Hayes, one.
Alba says her relationship with Warren is what she is most proud of when it comes to her personal life as she told Ayesha for Health: 'My husband and I like each other still. [Laughs] I’m not good with conflict.
'I didn’t know how to express myself, and I feel like I’ve evolved into this person who can communicate so you can address stuff before it gets out of control. We’re best friends, and we respect each other.'
#RHOA: Which Atlanta Housewife has the Highest Net Worth?
It’s no secret that The Real Housewives of Atlanta love to flaunt their money. Not only do they live to show off their coins, but they also love to talk about how much more each of them has than the other women.
While they all have money, it’s clear that some of these Georgia peaches are richer than others. Let’s dive into which housewives are the wealthiest.
Porsha Williams: Williams has the least amount of money out of the housewives currently on the show. She was a main cast member in seasons 5 and 6 but was demoted to the “friend of the cast” position in season 7. Now, she is back to being a full-time cast member.
In 2013, her net worth was listed as being $16 million, but is now currently only $500,000. This could be partially due to the fact that she did not receive any alimony in her divorce from former football player, Kordell Stewart.
As of 2016, most of her income came from her role on RHOA and her job as a co-host for Dish Nation.
Cynthia Bailey: Bailey made most of her money as a model while signed with the Wilhelmina Models agency. She landed the cover of Essence Magazine as her first booking. She has been featured in high-end magazines like Vogue, Elle, Glamour, and more. Now, she earns the majority of her income from The Real Housewives. She is currently worth $500,000 and makes $300,000 per season of RHOA, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Eva Marcille: Marcille is one of the newest housewives to get a peach. She first came onto the celebrity scene when she won the third season of America’s Next Top Model. Since then, she has become a successful actress, landing small roles on Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville, The Assistants, and more. She also had prominent roles on House of Payne and The Young and the Restless.
She is currently worth $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Shamari DeVoe: DeVoe is another new housewife. She is most known for being the lead singer of the group Blaque. The group reached their peak in the 90’s. She has also worked as an actress, appearing in movies like Bring it On and Honey. In 2006, she married singer Ronnie DeVoe.
The singer and actress now has a net worth of $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Nene Leakes: Leakes is the last remaining original member of the RHOA cast. She was a series regular from seasons 1-7 but then took a break to focus on acting. She came back as a regular cast member in season 9. She has also appeared on a number of television shows, including, Glee, The New Normal, The Celebrity Apprentice, The Amandas, The Game, and Let’s Stay Together.
Leakes reportedly makes $1 million per season of The Real Housewives. She is currently worth $14 million.
Kandi Burruss: Which brings us to the most wealthy RHOA, Kandi Burruss. Burruss came onto the show in season 2 and is still a main cast member. Prior to joining the show, she was a member of the popular group Xscape. She also has a line of intimate toys called Bedroom Kandi. Burruss has accumulated a great deal of her wealth by writing songs for artists such as Whitney Houston, Pink, Boys II Men, Ed Sheeran, and more. She most notably wrote “No Scrubs” for TLC.
She is now worth $35 million.
So what do you think is it so….OR NAH?
#Empire: Jussie Smollett only Appears in Zero of 38 ‘Empire’ Promotional Photos for Fox.
“Empire” returns from its fifth season’s winter hiatus tomorrow night with an episode that includes the recently-indicted Jussie Smollett.
But you might not know that if you were to look at the promo photos from the midseason premiere episode, which Fox recently posted to its press site, ’cause Jamal (Smollett) isn’t in a single one of them. And the hip-hop soap opera’s third lead is not in the shots for the following two episodes either.
Smollett — who plays the openly gay middle son of Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and Lucious (Terrence Howard) — is absent from all 38 production stills that are currently available to media from Episode 510, 511, and 512.
However, the other regular cast members, including Howard, Henson, Bryshere Y. Gray, Trai Byers, Nicole Ari Parker, Gabourey Sidibe and even Season 5 newcomer A.Z. Kelsey, are all present and accounted for to some degree in the photos.
For the sake of comparison, Lucious/Howard is in 11 of the 38 promotional pics, Cookie/Henson is in 10, Hakeem/Gray is in four and Andre/Byers is in six. Hell, Andre Royo’s character Thirsty Rawlings is in five of them.
“Empire” executive producers announced last month that they had decided to cut Smollett from the final two episodes of the Fox hip hop drama’s current season, following his arrest on the charge of filing a false police report.
But since he hasn’t been cut from the ones that were already in the can prior to that decision, his absence from the promo photos for the first three episodes of “Empire’s” midseason return is quite noticeable.

Wendy Williams has revealed she's been living in a sober house, seeking treatment for addiction
Wendy Williams is seeking treatment for addiction, she revealed on her show Tuesday.
“You know me for being a very open and honest person. You know Kevin and I have the Hunter Foundation for the good of the people and we recently launched out 888-HUNTER number for people who are in the struggle of addiction. Well, for some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house,” a weeping Williams, 54, told her studio audience.
"When you see me come to work glammed up, right after the show, I do Pilates ... You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in the past," she said. "I never went to a place to get treatment. I don't know how. God was just sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”
The talk show host revealed that she goes to the facility after work and personal obligations daily and still lives a "glamorous" life despite her struggles.
Howard Stern fires back at talk show host Wendy Williams after she said he had ‘gone Hollywood’Video
“After I go to the Pilates I go to several meetings all around town in the tri-state area, and I see my brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and looking for help,” she said. “They don’t know I’m Wendy. They don’t care I’m Wendy. there's no autographs, there's no nothing. It’s the brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. It’s been really interesting, this ride.”
She continued, “Only Kevin [Hunter, Sr., her husband] and Kevin [Jr., her son] know about this. And that is my truth."
Williams revealed that she kept her struggle a secret from the rest of her family and friends.
"Not my parents, nobody. Nobody knew because I look so glamorous out here. After I finish my appointments … I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to a home that I live in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family," she confessed. "We talk and read and talk and read and then I get bored with them. Doors locked by 10 p.m., lights out by 10 p.m., so I go to my room and stare at the ceiling and fall asleep to come here and see you. So that is my truth.”
Williams had been absent from her show for the bulk of early 2019. She initially cited complications from Graves' disease for her hiatus.
Tyler Perry steps in to help pay for funeral of slain Wisconsin mother
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Less than a day after the family of a slain single mother of four launched a fundraising appeal, actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry has lent his support.
News outlets report Perry offered to take care of the family’s rent to stave off eviction, arrange for 45-year-old Tynesha Evans’ body to be flown to Wisconsin for burial and cover her 18-year-old daughter’s tuition at Spelman College so she doesn’t have to drop out.
Evans was killed Saturday morning outside a bank near Atlanta. Her boyfriend, 58-year-old Othniel Inniss, was arrested at the scene.
Evans was an author and a full-time health care worker. According to the family’s GoFundMe, two of her four children are still minors.
One of them, 14-year-old Shakemia Turner, called Perry “an angel on Earth.”

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty are NOT a married couple!
After igniting rumors earlier this month, TMZ reports that the couple did not secretly wed. There was speculation that Minaj and Petty had walked down the aisle after Nicki referred to her man as her “husband” on the latest episode of Queen Radio.
“Every night when I get out of the shower, my husband takes this really good lotion that we just bought and he massages my feet,” she said during the March 12 episode.
However, wedding bells could be in the future. Sources close to Nicki say that she’s “very much in love” with Petty, but the marriage reports are false.
Just a few months after they started dating in December, the two have already discussed marriage and starting a family together.
As for his criminal past, Nicki is not bothered by it and she’s tired of people bashing him. Petty is a registered sex offender and was convicted of manslaughter and first-degree attempted rape. Minaj has come to his defense and notes that he and the rape victim were teenagers and dating at the time.
Nicki and Petty go way back. The two met when Nicki was a 16-year-old living in Queens and reconnected late last year. The couple hasn’t been shy to show PDA on social media. They vacationed together for Nicki’s 36th birthday and Petty has been traveling with Nicki on her “Nicki WRLD Tour” across Europe.
Lupita Nyong'o came to GMA rocking a colorful floral dress promoting her upcoming movie ‘Us’
And Lupita Nyong'o looked positively stunning in a flirty floral dress ahead of her appearance on Good Morning America in New York on Tuesday morning.
The 36-year-old stunner covered up in a mustard yellow jacket after praising the director for his 'refreshing' portrayal of a black family in his upcoming horror film.
The Black Panther star rocked a retro-inspired gown complete with a key-hole neckline and ruffled hem.
She tied her curls up into a chic top bun fashioned into a bow and wore ombre shades with sparkling diamond accents.
Her bright red heels matched the shade she swiped across her lips and she carried a yellow alligator leather purse.
Lupita 'loved how unremarkable' it was that the lead characters in the psychological horror were an African-American middle class family and the fact that their ethnicity was irrelevant to the film's plot.
'I loved how unremarkable it was that they were black, because I often feel quite unremarkable, I don't live my life always considering the color of my skin and it was nice to have that,' she told Sky News.
'A family that we could project our own understanding of a family on to no matter what color our skin is, and that the paradigms to which they were navigating this particular monster had nothing to do with the color of their skin. Yeah, that's refreshing.'
Us, which also stars Winston Duke and Elizabeth Moss, follows a family enjoying a vacation at the beach, but their serenity quickly turns to chaos when a group of horrifying doppelgängers begin to terrorize them.
Cardi B To Star Alongside Jennifer Lopez In ‘Hustlers’ Movie
Cardi B is headed to the big screen. The chart-topping rapper will make her feature film debut alongside Jennifer Lopez in the upcoming stripper saga Hustlers, reports Deadline.
The cast also includes Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians), Lili Reinhart (Riverdale), Keke Palmer (Scream Queens), Julia Stiles (Silver Linings Playbook), and Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King).
Inspired by a 2016 New York Magazine article, Hustlers follows a crew of former strip club employees who team up to get revenge on their wealthy Wall Street clients by maxing out their credit cards.
Cardi B will have her own experience to draw on. The “Bodak Yellow” rapper has been outspoken about her past as an exotic dancer. “I [stripped] for three-and-a-half years,” she told Ellen last year. “I don’t recommend it to everybody because it’s not for everybody, but it made me money. It paid my bills. It got me my own apartment and my boob job…I started getting a lot of money and the money I made, I used it to invest in my dream.”
Additionally, Cardi is set to appear as a judge alongside Chance the Rapper and T.I. on “Rhythm + Flow,” Netflix’s upcoming hip-hop talent competition.
#SPORTSNEWS: Los Angeles Angels offers Mike Trout a new $430M deal
Star center fielder Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are finalizing the largest contract in professional sports history, a 12-year deal worth more than $430 million that will smash previous records and could keep the greatest player of his generation with the Angels for the remainder of his career, sources familiar with the deal told ESPN on Tuesday.
Trout, who has won two American League MVP awards and finished second four times, will receive an average of nearly $36 million a year, topping Zack Greinke's previous record average of $34.4 million with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Five reasons $430M man Mike Trout can win a World Series with Angels
The best player of his generation just got the biggest contract in sports history, but is he sacrificing his shot at October glory by staying in Anaheim?
There's not much debate about who is No. 1. So what would it take for, say, Mookie Betts or Jose Altuve to supplant the star of stars?
The $430 million-plus total is more than 30 percent larger than the $330 million deal Bryce Harper signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on March 2 and bests boxer Canelo Alvarez's deal with DAZN by more than $65 million.
Trout, 27, was due to be a free agent following the 2020 season, at which point he was expected to set off a frenzied bidding war among the largest-market teams in the game. The clamoring already had begun, with Harper lobbying for Trout to join him in Philadelphia, 45 miles from Trout's hometown of Millville, New Jersey.
The Angels will nullify that possibility by ripping up the final two seasons of his six-year, $144.5 million deal and replace it with the new 12-year deal through the 2030 season, sources told ESPN.
A generational talent with an unparalleled set of skills among his peers, Trout has put together arguably the greatest start to a career in baseball history. In 1,065 games, he has slashed .307/.416/.573 with 240 home runs, 648 RBIs, 793 runs and 189 stolen bases. No player in history has put up more wins above replacement through his age-26 season than Trout's 64.3.
While the Angels' past forays into long-term contracts have not paid off -- their 10-year, $240 million deal with Albert Pujols and five-year, $125 million deal with Josh Hamilton both are considered albatrosses -- the possibility of losing Trout was simply too daunting to not complete a deal.
Mike Trout is among the Angels' franchise leaders in a number of statistical categories despite not even ranking in the top 10 in games played in team history.
Trout casts his lot with an organization that has made the playoffs just once during his eight major league seasons -- and was swept in the first round when it did. Los Angeles' bustling farm system and the ability for owner Arte Moreno to parlay a $3 billion local TV deal into higher payrolls gave Trout enough security to lock down a deal through his age-38 season.
After joining the Angels as the 25th pick in the 2009 draft, Trout blitzed through their farm system and debuted at 19 years old during the 2011 season. He established himself as a star the next season, winning the AL Rookie of the Year award and finishing second in the MVP voting for the first of two straight seasons. He won the award in 2014 and 2016 and finished second again last year, arguably his best season yet, in which he slashed .312/.460/.628 with 39 home runs and 79 RBIs in 140 games.
Notorious B.I.G.’s Mother & Faith Evans Sue Snowboard Company For Using Rapper’s Face Without
Yes. Snowboards have landed in hot water with B.I.G.’s ladies.
The Swiss athletic company has been collecting a coin by using Biggie’s face on some of their merch. While it may have been an innocent acknowledgment of a rap legend, it wasn’t appreciated by Faith Evans or his mother, Voletta Wallace.
The Blast got a hold of court documents that explained the case. Apparently, the company and photographer, Chi Modu, worked together to bring the boards to life. Modu was the man behind the lens of B.I.G.’s infamous World Trade Center photoshoot, which is the image on the snowboards. Faith and Voletta set up Notorious B.I.G., LLC in order to take charge over who gets access to the late rapper’s
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES?
Nothing to see here. No reason to be alarmed. By chance has anyone seen a little monkey about yay high, red eyes and foaming at the mouth? No? Okay, have a nice day folks.
