According to sources close to PEOPLE, both production and Kenya wanted her to return. However she was requesting more money than they were offering and they wanted to film all parts of her life. that included her marriage to husband Marc, which was previously off-limits. His lack of presence was something she was criticized for in season 10.

She threw some shade about leaving the show on her Instagram Saturday, after a fan made a comment on her post that said "You are such a real housewife of Atlanta." Her response? "Apparently not", next to a shrugging emoji.

What do you think about Kenya's fans protesting her not being part of season 11?

I’ve been many places in my life, seen many things, but nothing compares to the smile on your face when you wake in the morning. You are IT for me, and God is indeed so good to bless me with your hand to hold. Thank you for saying yes to me. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for standing your ground with me. You teach me so much about true manhood, you require no less, and you deserve no less. I love you honey bear, until the day I die and into eternity. I’m rooting for you on this journey, no matter what comes or goes. And I will always believe in and for your BEST!

Alan Alda Reveals He Was Diagnosed With Parkinson’s Disease

Alan Alda broke the news that he’s been living with Parkinson’s disease, but wants people to know that he’s doing great and there’s no need to be sad.

The “M*A*S*H” star just appeared on “CBS This Morning” and said he was diagnosed with the disease three and a half years ago. He says since then, he has lived a full life.

Alda admits he decided to reveal the news himself to hinder anyone from finding out and doing a sad story, and says after some recent interviews for his new podcast he noticed his thumb twitching.

The 82-year-old actor says he’s been extremely active and appears to be in great spirits while dealing with his health.

Prayers for Alan!

Kim Kardashian calls Tyson Beckford ‘Sis’ in Instagram Beef and The LGBTQ Community isn’t happy!

Kim Kardashian drew the ire of the LGBT community when she responded to Tyson Beckford‘s body shaming comments by using the slang term “sis.”

The beef all went down in the comments section of The Shade Room’s Instagram account. Beckford responded to a photo of Kim by writing, “Sorry I Don’t care for it personally … She is not real, doctor f**ked up on her right hip.”

Kim answered back by saying, “Sis we all know why you don’t care for it.”

The term “sis” is common in the LGBT community, used often to refer to an LGBT person both in a positive and negative way. It can be seen as homophobic if used by someone who is not part of the LGBT community.

Some have also taken offense because the word is used in the black community as well; “sis” being short for “sista.”

Social media reaction was all over the map — people from both communities got on Kim Kardashian for using the word, while others got on Tyson for his body shaming comment.

Beckford responded with a series of Instagram stories, first saying his comments were meant to be about women who get plastic surgery and not specifically about Kim (he’s more of a Beyoncé guy).

Oh OK!

Actress Erika Alexander Hints to a Possible ‘Living Single’ Reboot

Don’t call it a comeback, but “Living Single” may be making a return television. Actress Erika Alexander gave her fans a pretty big tease about a possible reboot.

Alexander, whose role was Maxine attorney-at-law on the hit show, posted a video on Instagram hinting at a return of the show. In the video she said, “Anybody know how to reboot this?,” as she winks and points to a computer in front of her. Her caption said, “Anyone need a REBOOT?!? ; ) #maxineshaweffect #reboot #livingsingle#nowarranty.”

Fans quickly caught on.

Fans were stunned by Alexander’s tease because earlier this year she stated that she did not want any part of a “Living Single” reboot. “I think it’s great people are nostalgic for things in the past, maybe for good reason. It happens,” she said on “The Breakfast Club” back in March. But she continued and said, “But for me, I always tried to be honest and said that if my film and television career had been a lot better, I might not have any problem dipping my toe back into that water and going and doing the Max character.” Then she said, “But for me … time is so finite. You have so little time. I think I just want to see if I can do other things. And see if I can get people as happy for me or into a different character in a different way.” Fans are crossing their fingers.

The Icon Betty White Started Trending and Gave Twitter Users a Heart Attack

It was recently announced that a Betty White documentary was going to be making its way to PBS next month. With the news came a lot of internet buzz about the iconic actress. With internet buzz comes trending topics on Twitter. And when you see a 96-year-old's name trending on Twitter your brain automatically goes to the worst case scenario.

That's exactly what happened to fans when they read White's name in the left hand corner of their computer screens, and many tweeted what we all were thinking.

Some people weren't even sure why the Golden Girls star was trending in the first place but were just happy she was alive. "Seeing all these tweets of people freaking out because Betty White is trending (honestly same) but I still haven't figured out why Betty White started trending," one fan wrote. Another suggested giving elderly celebrities special icons when they begin to trend, so we know why.

Tiffany Haddish Reveals She Was Raped at Age 17

Tiffany Haddish is bravely opening up about being raped at the age of 17 by a police cadet.

The 38-year-old actress spoke to Glamour in her cover issue about the aftermath of the trauma.

“That whole experience put me in such a messed-up place for a long time, and I ended up going to counseling,” she said.

She continued, “Me just yelling out people’s names with no thought behind it is pointless. I need a plan. “I could be a voice, but what’s a voice going to do—just keep talking? Or is there action behind it?”

“I notice that men are afraid of women that are aggressive. So to protect myself I become semi-aggressive,” she continued. “You hear about, ‘Tiffany always hitting on somebody,’ but that’s to keep them from hitting on me.”

#RHONY Jill Zarin Opens Up About New Boyfriend Gary Brody

Jill Zarin opened up about her new boyfriend, Gary Brody, during her sixth annual luxury luncheon in the Hamptons over the weekend.

While honoring her late husband, Bobby Zarin, at the event, the former Real Housewives of New York City star spoke out about her romance and revealed that Bobby would want to see her move on.

“Life goes on and Bobby would want me to be happy and that’s what I’m trying to do,” Jill explained to Extra TV, according to a July 30 report. “I’m trying to fulfill what he wanted for me.”

Then, when asked if she’s in love with her new beau, Jill said, “New like, we’ll start with new like.”

“Of course, you know, it’s time. It’s time,” she explained of dating after Bobby’s death. “We started out as friends and then one thing leads to another in life and that’s… you know, that’s what Bobby wanted for me. He was very adamant about it.”

“I ask everyone who I’ve introduced him to if [Bobbt] would approve and they’ve all said [he would], but I trust my daughter [Ally’s] instinct the most,” she explained, adding that Ally approves of her new relationship.

News of Jill’s romance with Gary, a clothing company executive, first hit the web in June. At the time, the couple had reportedly been spotted together at Tao Downtown, prompting rumors of a new romance. Weeks later, Jill and Gary seemingly confirmed their relationship with a joint outing at Wimbledon tennis match with her daughter.

The Real Housewives of New York City airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo TV.

Netflix Lands Quincy Jones Documentary to be released in September!

(via Deadline) Netflix has acquired Quincy, the documentary about legendary composer/producer Quincy Jones that was directed by his daughter Rashida Jones and Alan Hicks. Netflix has set a global release for September 21, and will give the film a limited theatrical release as well. The film is produced by Paula DuPré Pesmen and executive produced by Jane Rosenthal and Berry Welsh from Tribeca Productions and Adam Fell from Quincy Jones Productions.

The docu is an intimate look into the life of an icon who has been a force in music and pop culture for decades, transcending racial and cultural boundaries. He started as a trumpeter, pianist and arranger for bandleader Lionel Hampton, and right out of college was arranging songs for artists including Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Gene Krupa, and Ray Charles. He has been a mentor to artists from Michael Jackson to Lesley Gore, Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith and collaborated with the likes of Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Miles Davis and many others.

Jones was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and has Emmys, Grammys, Oscars and Tonys on his mantle. Actually he has won 27 Grammys, second most in history. He was producer and conductor of “We Are The World,” still the best selling single of all time, and Jackson’s solo albums Off The Wall, Bad and Thriller, latter of which remains the best selling album ever. On the movie side, he co-produced Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple and won an Emmy for scoring the opening episode of the groundbreaking miniseries Roots.

Jones is an inspiring man to speak with and is an accomplished storyteller, and opened up for the daughter he shares with his ex, the Mod Squad star Peggy Lipton.

 “It’s rare that somebody who has lived as much life as my dad is still interested in growing and knowing the next generation,” Rashida Jones said. “He is such a man of action and accomplishments, but we were so lucky to spend real time with him, to let him reflect on life and the larger picture. I feel honored to be able to share that with audiences all over the world.”

Said co-director Hicks: “There is really no one like Quincy, the sheer breadth of his work alone is unparalleled, but the story of him as a man has never been comprehensively told. It was a privilege to have his trust, allowing us to capture intimate moments giving insight into the fabric of the man.”

Lisa Nishimura, VP of Original Documentaries for Netflix called it “a rare opportunity to be able to present the definitive story of someone who has for over seven decades, not just influenced, but altered the course of culture.”

Dating app murder suspect seemed like a ‘dream guy’ at first, ex-girlfriend says

Zynea Barney, 26, said she began interacting with Danueal Drayton last November after he messaged her on an online dating and matchmaking application, for “two days straight.”

Barney “wasn’t looking for love” at the time, so she said she ignored the messages at first, but she eventually replied.

“It was just conversation, you know, just talk here and there,” Barney told ABC News.

Drayton stood out because instead of asking Barney for photos of her body, like a “normal guy” would, he would inquire about her goals and dreams instead, she said.

“We would talk all night, all day, regular conversation,” she said. “No red flags, nothing. Just you know — the perfect guy…..”

Barney said the relationship “kept going forward in a positive direction,” but she noticed something amiss when Drayton was driving her car and she answered a call on his phone from a woman named “Cherry.”

Barney says the woman told her that she also met Drayton on a dating app. According to Barney, the woman said she and Drayton were “just friends,” but told Barney he’d never mentioned that he had a girlfriend.

Barney demanded that Drayton pull over and get out of her car, causing him to plead with her, telling her that the woman was “nothing” but “conversation,” she said.

But, Barney says she drove away, telling Drayton that while he should have been honest with her, they could remain friends since Drayton was “new to New York,” offering him help with looking for a job. Barney’s son was in the backseat of the car at the time, she said.

After that, the relationship spiraled out of control, Barney said. She began to feel threatened in early June, she said, when Drayton would allegedly sleep outside her home, waiting for her and begging her to take him back when she would ask him to leave.

#RHoA: Peter Thomas And Shay ‘Buckey’ Johnson Dating?

Peter Thomas and Cynthia Bailey haven’t been an item for a long time, so it only makes sense that Peter moved on to someone else. However, many of his fans didn’t expect him to choose Shay Johnson.

The entrepreneur took to Instagram to reveal a photograph of himself along with the Love & Hip-Hop: Miami star, in a post which you can see below. In case you can’t recall, Johnson also had a starring role in the reality series, Flavor Of Love.

Underneath the photo in the caption, Thomas praises her for her beautiful freckles. He stated, “beautiful with absolutely no makeup, and have the nerve to have freckles.” Apparently, Thomas loves freckles.

Johnson reciprocated the feelings of appreciation when she posted the same image on her account as well. The couple looked very comfortable snuggling up to together.

It was mentioned that Thomas used to date an unidentified woman named, Toni, but they broke it off shortly after starting the relationship.

An insider shared, “we don’t really know who Peter was dating but it was a girl named Toni, and he never really said a lot about her. I think it was like a side-piece situation, to be honest.”

As for Shay and Peter, another source added, “Thomas and Shay are definitely dating and they’re a match made in heaven. Their personality traits balance against each other.”

And while they might make a good item, social media commenters were legitimately surprised. One person wrote, “wow, are these two f*cking serious? I can’t believe it LOL.” However, there were nice comments, especially in relation to Shay’s looks. A commenter wrote, “Yes, she is definitely very beautiful, make-up or no make-up.”

I remember sitting next to you at the “Selma” premiere, I was so nervous and I wanted to impress you. I remember when you looked me in the eyes and told me what I’d waited my whole life to hear, “I’m ready”. God remains the tether that binds us together. Two years feels like two seconds for me with you. I’m caught in your love, and I’ll never, ever leave. Happy Anniversary My Blessed Queen. I love you now and forever!"

The couple met on the set of the hit Lee Daniels' Fox series and formed a friendship that blossomed into a bond that let their happily ever after.

#HipHoipNews: Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Asap Ferg And More To Perform At 2018 Hot 97 Summer Jam

Hot 97's annual Summer Jam is now less than two months away, and it looks like it's going to be just about as big as it gets. On Monday (April 16), the folks at Hot 97 unveiled the lineup for the 2018 Hot 97 Summer Jam, and Kendrick Lamar was listed as the headliner.

This news adds to what's been a steady stream of wins for K. Dot. Earlier today, Kendrick was announced as the first-ever rapper to win a music Pulitzer Prize. A few weeks before that, his fourth studio LP, Damn., became his third album to sell a literal 1 million copies. So yeah. Pretty dope.

Joining him as performers at MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford, N.J., on Sun., June 10 will be folks like A$AP Ferg, Lil Wayne (performing Tha Carter classics), Tory Lanez, Swizz Beatz & Friends, Remy Ma, Rich The Kid, Megan Ryte & Friends, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Hood Celebrityy. On the Summer Jam's Festival Stage will be the likes of Famous Dex, Jay Critch, Don Q and Snoopy Dinero.

Additionally, Hot 97 is facilitating their first-ever “Who’s Next” chatbot, which is an app that allows artists to have their music rated by fans and if its trending high enough, it will gain the attention of Hot 97 personality and Festival Stage curator TT Torrez.

Entering its 25th concert, the 2018 iteration of Hot 97 Summer Jam carries the theme "94 Till' Infinity," which could be a reference to Souls of Mischief's "'93 Til Infinity."

“Our team got together and felt the theme, ‘94 to Infinity,’ captured where Summer Jam is today launching into the 25th year," says Ebro Darden, who operates as the Assistant Programming Director and a host of Hot 97's popular morning show, Ebro in the Morning.

"We wanna make sure the culture knows we plan to keep it cracking for the Tri-State and hip-hop," Darden continues. "Summer Jam has established itself as a mainstay in an artist’s evolution since the beginning, and we will keep working with artists and fans to keep the same energy."

Famed Hot 97 persona Funkmaster Flex echoes Ebro's sentiments. “Summer Jam has been epic since the days when the music wasn’t considered one of the most consumed genres like it is today," he offers. "We’ve worked hard to put Hip-Hop and Summer Jam on the map and this year will be no different.”

The general public can cop tickets for the 2018 Hot 97 Summer Jam concert at Ticketmaster.com beginning this Friday (April 20). For more information, you can visit the official Summer Jam website.

#OOOPS! Chris Brown Deletes Instagram Account After Getting Dragged For Commenting On Karrueche Tran Bikini Photo With Victor Cruz

An angry Chris Brown had a new meltdown and deleted his Instagram account after seeing a series of photos of his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, and her new and nonviolent partner, Victor Cruz, kissing.

The Claws actress and model is currently on vacation with Victor in Miami, Florida.

In the photos that surfaced online, Tran is wearing a colorful thong bikini with the matching top, and she is enjoying some downtime in the pool with Victor while at the Setai Beach Hotel.

The pair was caught having a very hot and steamy moment while in the cool water, and Chris could not help but react to the photos.

Rihanna’s former boyfriend jumped under the PDA-packed pool session and wrote: “GOAL.”

He later returned, and he posted emojis of a sad man walking away from a couple in love.

The Internet caught wind of Chris’ move, and he was mocked — this prompted him to delete his account.

The romance between Karrueche and Chris ended in court, and she was awarded a restraining order. She claimed that the R&B singer assaulted her and threatened her life.

It is also believed that Karrueche dumped Chris because he fathered a daughter with another woman while they were together.

One fan told Chris: “I bet what hurts him is the fact that Karrueche said she wants no baby mama drama then turns around and gets with a man that has a child and “200 sidechicks”. Imagine how that feels. He was told by a judge not to have any contact with her this would be a violation of his parole because he wasn’t even supposed to contact her through social media that’s why he took his page down probably.”

Another commenter said: “Rihanna nor Karrueche wants him anymore. He needs to go drink milk. She’s the one who got her heart shattered. Chris thought he could have his cake and eat it too. No woman will allow her man to be dating two women at the same time, and let’s not forget how his fans bullied and are still bullying her. Moral of the story, you are responsible for your own happiness. I am so glad for her.”

A third supporter told Chris to get his act together and added:

“Love me some Chris brown but I mean he fcked up, and he realizes it now . should have done shorty right. I bet he thinks he’ll never find someone like her again. Well when he had her, he shoulda respected her. Now that she is happy… he probably thought she would never get the guts to leave. Had to learn the hard way but praying he sees someone and treat them right next time..I’m out.”

Many are hoping Chris will move on with his life.

Khloe Kardashian Reveals Baby Girl’s Name … And It’s kinda Ironic

Is Khloe Kardashian trying to tell us something? The 33-year-old reality star just revealed the name of her new baby girl … and it’s pretty ironic, to say the least.

Khloe announced on Monday via Instagram that she and boyfriend Tristan Thompson named their baby girl True Thompson. “Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are overwhelmed with LOVE,” Khloe wrote.

“Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!”

The name is not only unconventional, but also telling … in a weird way. Considering Tristan is accused of cheating on Khloe with numerous women, one might think that the KUWTK star is letting the world know, in a subliminal way, that the reports that her man is a dirty dog are indeed … true.

Khloe nor Thompson have responded to videos and photos that surfaced last week showing the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward engaging in unfaithful acts with five different women.

Khloe’s sweet post announcing her baby’s name is the first from the reality star in over a week. According to reports, the couple hadn’t picked a name at the time of her birth on Thursday, April 12.

Not sure how they decided on True, but, by all accounts, reports that she is staying with her unfaithful baby daddy are also … true.

Clearly she has chosen to give the baby his last name, Thompson, instead of Kardashian, so she must not be that upset. Also in the post she uses the word “our,” which makes it seem like she’s still in a relationship with Tristan … despite all the cheating.

#YIKES! Usher Reportedly Had $820,000 In Jewelry And Cash Stolen From His Home

Usher is a victim of a recent home theft.

According to The Blast reports, According to a police report filed with the LAPD, Usher’s estranged wife, Grace Miguel, reported the singer’s house had been broken into. Miguel says she was notified of the incident by the housekeeper on March 29.

The housekeeper told Miguel that when she arrived at the home that morning, she “discovered a footprint on the second floor, a handprint on the pillow in the lower floor, and the curtains to the lower floor window were open.”

According to Miguel, when the housekeeper went to check the recording box where the security camera footage was kept, “she noticed that the recording box was missing and connecting wires were cut.”

Miguel says when she arrived at the house, she verified some jewelry had been stolen and when she called Usher to tell him what happened, she discovered that cash was also missing from a box on the nightstand (approximately $20,000, according to the report).

'American Idol': Five More Eliminated After Celebrity Duets

The top 14 artists will sing for America's vote.

On Monday’s American Idol, the 12 contestants from the top 24 who performed solos on Sunday night took the stage again to sing celebrity duets with professionals from the industry. At the end of the night, five contestants were eliminated by judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. The remaining artists, along with the seven who survived last week, will have a chance to sing for America’s vote next week.

First up, Caleb Lee Hutchinson was paired with Bebe Rexha, singing Rexha’s own “Meant to Be.” It was a great matchup and song choice, suiting Hutchinson’s country sound. He gave a fun performance, and the judges were satisfied though not necessarily super-impressed.

Ada Vox, who had a standout solo performance on Sunday night, sang with actress and singer Lea Michele on Monday night. They sang “Defying Gravity” from the musical Wicked, which was a risky song choice that really paid off. Vox proved she has the power and control of a seasoned Broadway performer like Michele, and it made for a bold, theatrical performance that still had enough layers to it to make it more than just showy.

Maddie Poppe teamed up with Colbie Caillat to sing Caillat’s own “Bubbly.” Poppe expressed some concerns about her own nerves, but she ended up giving a confident and seasoned performance. The song choice was perfect for Poppe’s unique tone, and Bryan’s comments suggested that she’s a fully formed artist.

Next up, Ron Bultongez sang “Someone to You” with musician Banners, and it just wasn’t the right song choice for him. The performance felt very by-the-numbers, but the judges seemed pleased with it. They have been championing him all season.

Amelia Hammer Harris next sang with Rexha. They did a duet of Rexha’s “Me, Myself, and I,” and the song choice was a good fit for Harris’ range and vibe. She again showcased a star quality that the judges are drawn to.

Shannon O’Hara teamed up with country music star Cam to sing “Burning House.” O’Hara has shown a lot of versatility in this competition so far, and she continued that with this country ballad. It was gentle and gorgeous, and Bryan was mesmerized. Perry again expressed that she was impressed by how young O’Hara is.

Alyssa Raghu also sang with Banners, performing a duet of “Yellow” by Coldplay. It was the first underwhelming performance of the evening. Raghu seemed like she was still trying to figure out what kind of artist she wants to be, and the judges are looking for something more polished at this point. “Just give us a couple more notes the next time you sing,” Perry said.

Marcio Donaldson sang Marvin Gaye's “What’s Going On" with Allen Stone. Their voices blended very well together, and their chemistry sold the performance. Donaldson once again showed effortless stage presence and a strong understanding of who he is. The judges were blown away just like they were with his solo last night.

Michele returned to sing with Jurnee, who admitted that she was a big fan of Glee. They sang a powerful duet of “Run to You,” and the harmonies were gorgeous. It was a better song choice than Jurnee’s solo on Sunday night. “The sky’s the limit,” Richie said.

Garrett Jacobs was next up, also pairing with Caillat to sing “Lucky,” which Caillat originally sang with Jason Mraz. It was stronger than his performance on Sunday night, and Jacobs was surprised by his girlfriend in the audience in a touching moment. Bryan said it was a step in the right direction for Jacobs and that he was proud.

Mara Justine was up next, paired with Rachel Platten to sing Platten’s own “Fight Song.” It was a big and emotional song, and Justine nailed the nuances, allowing herself to be vulnerable and soft. “I thought that what I saw tonight was so beautiful,” Perry said.

Closing out the night, Cam was back to perform with rocker Effie Passero. It was an odd pairing since Cam skews more country, but together they gave a solid performance of Cam’s own “Diane.” Despite coming from different genres, they blended very well together and the harmonies were on point. “You harmonized beautifully,” Bryan said.

Next, it was time for the judges to deliver their verdict, eliminating five contestants and sending the remaining seven to sing in the top 14 for America’s vote. Justine, Jurnee, Poppe, Vox, Jacobs, Donaldson and Hutchinson advanced, and the remaining artists were eliminated. After the top 14 sing next week, four will be sent home.

Beyoncé Announces $100,000 In Scholarships For HBCU Students

The program will give $25,000 each to Xavier University, Wilberforce University, Tuskegee University and Bethune-Cookman University.

Beyoncé will give $25,000 to four historically black colleges and universities for the 2018-2019 school year as part of a new scholarship program that was inspired by the singer’s historic Coachella performance this past weekend. One student from each HBCU ― Xavier University of Louisiana, Wilberforce University, Tuskegee University and Bethune-Cookman University ― will receive the money.

To qualify for the Homecoming Scholars Award Program, applicants need to have at least a 3.5 GPA. Each university will select its own finalists and winner, with winners set to be announced sometime this summer.

The news comes on the heels of Beyoncé’s show at Coachella, where she brought out her former Destiny’s Child bandmates for a mini-reunion. She was the first black woman to headline the major music festival.

The scholarship program is Beyoncé’s second through her philanthropic BeyGOOD initiative. Last year, BeyGood’s Formation Scholars Awards Program gave money to students studying creative arts, music, literature or African-American studies at Berklee College of Music, Parsons School of Design, Howard University and Spelman College. Those scholarships were in commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the singer’s visual album, “Lemonade.”

The announcement for the Homecoming Scholars Award Program ties the gifts to the Coachella performance, saying the show “put the spotlight on art and culture, mixing the ancient and the modern,” and was the “impetus to mark her second scholarship program.”

Ivy McGregor, director of philanthropy for BeyGood, announces a safe water initiative during the 2017 Essence Festival.

BeyGood also has a partnership with UNICEF for an effort called BeyGood 4 Burundi. The initiative, announced last year, aims to “improve water, sanitation and basic hygiene practices in the East African nation of Burundi, where nearly half the population had no access to clean, safe water.”

BREAKING: GOP Rep PA-15 Charlie Dent To Resign earlier now in May he will step down!

Charlie Dent was already one of a record number of House Republicans who weren't running for re-election this November. Now he's rushing out the door even faster.

The moderate Pennsylvania Republican — who hasn't been shy about voicing his frustrations with the congressional GOP and disdain for President Trump — on Tuesday announced he would soon resign from Congress instead of sticking around until January.

Shortly after announcing his retirement last fall, Dent told NPR's Scott Simon on Weekend Edition he was frustrated with the increasing partisanship in Congress.

"There's an increased polarization. There are groups out there that profit off of this type of instability and uncertainty and chaos. And they put a lot of pressure on members of Congress," Dent bemoaned. "I would tell you there are members in - both political parties right now have some very serious challenges. They're being pushed into some bad directions. And we need to have a stronger voice from the center of the political spectrum."

Dent had tried to be that voice from the middle. He was chair of the moderate Tuesday Group and was a frequently quoted in the media, and could be looking to make that a more permanent, paid job. Dent told the New York Times last year he'd "had conversations with TV news executives about becoming an analyst" though there were "no definitive plans." yet. Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz followed that path when he resigned last year to join Fox News.

Dent's resignation will likely trigger a special election, said Wanda Murren, the communications director for the Pennsylvania Department of State. Murren indicated it's possible the special election could be held on Nov. 6, concurrent with the general election, to fill out the remainder of Dent's term until the new Congress is seated in January.

Dent had long represented a competitive Lehigh Valley-based district that President Trump carried by seven points. Redistricting made it the new 7th District, one which was slightly more Republican though Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton still carried it by one point. Primaries are being held next month, and the Cook Political Report rates the open 7th District as Lean Democratic.

"Congressman Dent consistently worked across the aisle to deliver results for the hardworking families of his district. I respect his decision and wish him the best," National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Steve Stivers said in a statement. "We will work tirelessly to keep this seat under Republican control."

Stormy Daniels Reveals Sketch Of Man Who Allegedly Threatened Her Over Trump Story!

The adult film actress says a “thug” demanded she stay quiet about an alleged affair she had with Trump in 2006.

Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, revealed a composite sketch Tuesday of the man she says threatened her in 2011 to stay silent about an alleged affair she had with President Donald Trump.

“His face is burned in my memory,” Clifford told the hosts of ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday. “I was really rattled. It just never left me.”

The adult film actress has alleged she had sex with Trump in July 2006, a few months after first lady Melania Trump gave birth to Trump’s youngest son, Barron.

Clifford, during an appearance on CBS’ “60 Minutes” last month, said a man approached her in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 and demanded she stay quiet about the alleged affair.

“I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter,” Clifford said. “And a guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.’ And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone.”

The sketch, drawn by renowned forensic artist Lois Gibson, describes the man as “lean but fit,” standing between 5 foot 9 inches and 6 feet.

Clifford’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, is offering $100,000 to anyone who can identify the man who allegedly threatened her. Anyone with information is encouraged to email IDTheThug@gmail.com, Avenatti said Tuesday on “The View.”

OH SNAP! Kendrick Lamar just won a Pulitzer Prize

Kendrick Lamar has become the first non-classical, non-jazz artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for music for his 2017 album DAMN.

The prize listing describes Lamar’s record, which documents the complexities of growing up in his hometown of Compton, as “a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”

Released almost exactly a year ago and featuring credits from Rihanna, U2, James Blake and (ironically, given the milestone) jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington, DAMN. has been described as the more compact successor to Lamar’s experimental, often complex sophomore record, 2015’s To Pimp a Butterfly. It sold 353,000 copies its first week, according to Billboard (that’s not including streams — overall it racked up 603,000 “album-equivalent units”), and went platinum earlier this month, the third of his records to do so. Like Butterfly before it, DAMN. garnered Lamar an Album of the Year nomination and the award for Best Rap Album at the 60th Grammy Awards.

“LeBron James or the little boy around the corner, we come from the same struggles, and it comes out of my mouth for them to relate to,” Lamar told Dave Chappelle of the album in Interview Magazine last summer. “I don’t want anybody to classify my music. I want them to say, ‘This is somebody who’s recognizing his true feelings ... and views on the world, all on one record.’ I want people to recognize that and to take it and apply it to their own lives.”

The Pulitzer Prize, which was founded in 1917, first established its Music category in 1943. Its recipients were exclusively classical artists until 1997, when trumpet player Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz musician to win the award; Marsalis was only the second African-American composer to win, following composer George Walker’s win with Lilacs just a year before.

Lamar has released at least one album every year since 2015, including, most recently, the accompanying soundtrack for Marvel’s Black Panther, which he curated. He made guest appearances onstage at Coachella over the weekend, during the sets of Black Panther collaborators SZA and Vince Staples.

Halle Berry Says ‘Black Panther’ Owes Her Credit

Halle Berry has a bit of a bone to pick with “Black Panther.” The actress said the film’s huge success is due in part to her 2004 commercial failure “Catwoman.” But if you think Berry was being serious about this, think again.

While presenting the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Individual Episode Thursday, April 12, Berry explained that seeing yourself reflected on screen makes you feel “legitimate and included.”

“And each story builds on the next. It’s like that old saying goes: behind every Black Panther is a great Black Catwoman!” she jokes, playfully stroking her ego while the audience erupts in cheers. “You know, I’ve gotten a really bad rap for this role and I think Catwoman deserves another goddamn chance, don’t you?”

After the crowd gives Berry and enthusiastic round of applause and cheers, the actress says through laughter, “I knew this room would understand.”

“Catwoman,” which opened at no. 3 at the box office in July 2004 with $23.3 million behind the $74.7 million of”The Bourne Supremacy,” may have paved the way for “Black Panther” in some respects as a film with a Black superhero. But hit films like “Blade” and “Hancock” are probably more deserving of the declaration. Plus, before “Blade,” star Wesley Snipes was set to play the Black Panther in a movie adaptation of the Marvel comic in the 1990s.

And even though Berry likely wasn’t serious, folks were adamant about their disagreement about her remarks.

“‘Behind every ‘Black Panther is a catwoman.’ Halle Berry come on now.” someone said.

“Wakanda s— is that?” another asked.

“OK, as much as I love her she’s very, very wrong,” a different person said.

Sean Hannity Named as Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen's Mystery Third Client

The Fox News host said on his radio show that he's had brief legal conversations with Cohen but has never been represented by him "in any specific matter."

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen was reluctant to name one of his other clients during a Monday hearing — but, after pressure from a New York federal judge, it was revealed that mystery client is Fox News host Sean Hannity.

After his office was raided by the FBI on April 9, Cohen was ordered to appear in court before U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood to rule on his request that his own attorneys be allowed to review seized documents and records — before government investigators do — to assess whether his attorney-client privilege would be implicated.

Hannity said Monday on his radio show that he's occasionally had "brief discussions" with Cohen about legal issues that he wanted "his input and perspective on." But, he added, "Michael never represented me in any matter. I never retained him in the traditional sense of retaining a lawyer. I never received an invoice from Michael."

Hannity clarified that Cohen never represented him in a matter involving a third party, and wondered why the media is blowing up the story. "I don't think that is that complicated," he said. "How did this blow up to be such a big deal?"

Hannity also tweeted later on Monday, "I assumed those conversations were confidential."

In a filing opposing Cohen's request to review the evidence, the government argued that there's no precedent and that Cohen has "exceedingly few clients and a low volume of potentially privileged communications" — and went as far as to question whether the attorney actually has any clients other than Trump.

Cohen, of course, is at the center of the media and legal blitz surrounding Trump's alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. She's suing, under her legal name Stephanie Clifford, in an effort to have a "hush agreement" she signed declared invalid because it doesn't contain Trump's signature. The president has denied any knowledge of the contract, and Cohen has publicly stated that he personally paid Clifford $130,000 as part of the deal — shortly before the 2016 election.

Cohen's other known client was GOP financier Elliott Broidy — for whom he reportedly negotiated a $1.6 million payment to an ex-Playboy model — but the lawyer was hesitant to name Hannity, acknowledging that that the revelation would be embarrassing.
