The Daily Buzz For August 13 ☕📰☕


Camila Cabello for Variety - Power of Young Hollywood Issue 2019
Camila Cabello is one of the stars featured on Variety‘s 2019 Power of Young Hollywood issue, in which she talks about her growth over the past few years, her new album, and more.

Here are some highlights from Camila’s interview:
Camila on what she’s trying to convey in her new album:
“I’m trying to say yes more. I can be a little bit Miranda, but I’m trying to be Carrie in the sense that I love experiences; I’m a romantic; I’m emotional. But I think through stuff a lot.  … It’s like there’s two Camilas: the one that’s a scared, little hermit crab, and, if left her own devices, will just stay home. And there’s the other who’s, like, ‘No, we’re going out.’ And she takes the other Camilla by the hand and just f–king drags her. That’s what I’m trying to do, and I think it’s what I did these past two years.”

On writing about falling in love:
“Falling in love is like an infinite amount of levels and layers and angles. I fell in love and just opened up. Everything was written in present moment.”
On trusting her own opinions:
“Before, if I was unsure about something, I’d send it to everybody I knew. And I’ve learned that when you’re unsure, that’s your time to really look inward and, as Oprah says, ‘get quiet.’ The answer is always waiting for you. But if it’s too loud in your head or you’re running around f–ing flailing asking other people, you’re never gonna hear it.”

On working with Shawn Mendes on Señorita  
“I’ve known Shawn for such a long time, and it’s so much fun getting to work and do things with somebody who means a lot to you.”

On living in the public eye:
“Because I’ve been doing this for such a long time, I forget that I am quote-unquote famous or that people are looking at me. It makes me insanely uncomfortable to see pictures of me that I didn’t know were taken. I honestly hate it. I don’t want to live like a celebrity and have to look perfect every time I step out of my house. I ignore it as much as possible. If I’m going to look like s— that day and cameras are in my face, I don’t care because I choose being human and normal.”
On social media:
“I’m really conscious about my intention. Am I trying to connect with my fans or trying to see what people think about me? If it’s the second, it always ends up with hurt feelings. And if there are things going on in my personal life, I totally avoid social media because I feel like I have to go into protecting-myself-being-normal state.”

#RHOA: Apollo Nida Wants to know why Phaedra is Keeping Their Kids Away From Him?
Over the weekend, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Apollo Nida took to Instagram to address his ex-wife and mother of his two children, Ayden, 9 and Dylan, 6, for allegedly not allowing him visitation with their boys. In his post, Apollo shares a sweet picture of Ayden and Dylan, sending a message that he will continue to fight for his right as a father. He says,

“DON’T WORRY ! We will be together soon, No matter what,she can’t keep us apart. The fight will not stop to be a good DAD!!! There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think of the 2 of u. LOVE AND MISS YA SO MUCH.“
Close friend of Apollo and fellow former RHOA husband, Peter Thomas added a comment writing:

“Wow!!!! This went public??? Not good.”

Apollo was first released from Fort Dix Correctional Facility on June 4. But just over a week later, he was taken back into custody for allegedly violating the terms of his release. Apollo was originally sentenced to eight years after he pleaded guilty to laundering more than $2.3 million via fake bank accounts, stolen checks and other avenues.

As previously reported, Apollo’s ex, former RHOA cast member, Phaedra Parks expressed her disappointment when he was sent back to jail just before Father’s Day. At the time she stated,
“There’s a box of Father’s Day cards, mugs, little plates and things that they’ve made that I was going to send him. And so my youngest son was like, “so daddy will be here for Father’s Day?”And I had explained to him, no. He couldn’t come anyway because he was in the halfway house transition home. But you know, they can’t talk to him at all now because he’s back in prison.”

She continues, adding her disappointment in her ex-husband.

“I was disappointed, but at the same time, I don’t know if I was that shocked because he is a risk taker and I just hate it because now it’s just above all of us, only Jesus can fix it. I can’t make him be what he doesn’t want to be. He has to want to change. Being a parent does not come with the manual. So I don’t think that there’s any perfect parents, but obviously when you have a parent that is absent, like my ex husband, it makes it very difficult because I am the sole provider. You know, a woman cannot really teach a young man how to be a man. And so that’s been the source of frustration for me.”

#Empire: #HotGirlSummer Taraji Cuddles Up To Her Boo Fiance Kelvin Hayden, 36 Enjoying Their Summer Sunday
Taraji P. Henson and Kelvin Hayden spent their Sunday getting cozy on a boat in Chicago together! The engaged couple was all smiles in a series of PDA photos that the actress shared on Instagram.
Taraji P. Henson and Kelvin Hayden are enjoying their last summer as a married couple. The actress, 48, and Super Bowl (XLI) champion, 36, enjoyed a boat day with friends in Chicago on Sunday, where they cuddled up together in new photos. “Us on any given Sunday (in the summer in Chicago)”, Taraji captioned a series of cute photos with Kelvin on Instagram, calling him “my baby for life”.

The actress, who has yet to disclose exactly when they will tie the knot, may have revealed their wedding date in her post. She used the hashtag “4/4/20”, at the end of her caption, which sparked a ton of wedding date inquiries by fans in the comments. In previous interviews, Taraji has said they were aiming for this summer to get married. However, it appears as though the couple’s plans have changed. Taraji’s Hollywood friends including, Gabrielle Union and Lala Anthony also shared heart emoijs in the comments of the photos.
“I don’t have a date yet. I’m trying for the summer,” Taraji told reporters at the Los Angeles premiere of her comedy What Men Want in January. “I have scripts coming in, you know — you got to strike while the iron is hot — and he is patient,” she explained.
The actress noted that although she and Kelvin are taking their time with wedding planning, they will say “I do,” and “soon.”
“We live together, we’re not going anywhere. But trust me, we are getting married,” she said. “And soon! It won’t be a 10-year engagement!” Taraji insisted.
Taraji’s collage of pics showed Kelvin in her lap as she held him close. The pair was all smiles as they laughed together. In one shot, Taraji kissed Kelvin’s forehead. Another showed Taraji with her head on his shoulder as she held onto the former NFL pro’s chest.

So sweet #BlackLove!


#NewMusic from DRAM & H.E.R. ‘The Lay Down’
Rapper-turnt-sanger DRAM, whose name is an acronym for "Does Real A** Music," is attempting to live up to that title by digging into his soul singer bag for the modern throwback "The Lay Down" and its newly released music video. The VA-native hooked up with producer watt and fellow acronym-named singer H.E.R. to deliver an intoxicating ballad that accurately recreates a '70s soul feel with DRAM's patented sense of humor.The trio continues to push the '70s soul vibe in the Aisultan Seitov-directed video. DRAM dressed in all white, stands on a large, white compact disc in a pool of tranquil water, making the case for making sweet love. 

The camera pans out and we see his band and background singers dressed in metallic outfits also standing on the water. The camera then moves up to reveal H.E.R. sitting on a crescent moon, rocking a sheer, sparkly gown and echoing DRAM’s sentiments. The outro guitar solo from watt is a sheer delight to watch. 
WATCH HERE

The clip is also filled with dramatic lasers, spacey lighting and Beats headphones placement that stops just short of being cheesy. Keep watching until the end of the video for an unexpected twist.“The Lay Down” is DRAM’s first release since sharing his THAT’S A GIRL’S NAME EP. It will be featured on his sophomore album, which will feature more singing from the artist. Although he's not the best singer, we're not mad at Big Baby DRAM's desire to let his soul glow, especially when he does it this well.


#HipHopNews: Young Thug Announces "So Much Fun" Album Release Date
Young Thug is ringing in his 28th birthday with a new album. The YSL Records founder has announced his next LP, So Much Fun, will drop this Friday (August 16).

Thugger unveiled the cover art and release date in an Instagram post. The caption simply read, “8.16.”
Earlier this year, J. Cole was revealed to be the executive producer of Thug’s next album. The Dreamville founder spoke highly of Thugger in a 2018 interview with Angie Martinez.
“If you want to talk about Young Thug as an artist, he’s an innovator,” Cole said. “If you know skills, you call him a mumble rapper all you want, but if you know skills and you know the art of rapping, that dude is a genius.”

Cole and Thug most recently teamed up on the collaborative single “The London,”.


Janet Jackson Admits She Doesn't Use A Nanny To Help With Son Eissa “It's Just My Baby And Me,” She Said Of Raising Her 2-Year-Old Son.
Janet Jackson is very hands-on when it comes to raising her two-year-old son. So much so that the “Rhythm Nation” singer doesn’t even use a nanny, she said in a recent interview.
Despite juggling a Las Vegas residency that ends later this month, Jackson admitted that she tries to do the hard work of raising Eissa, her son with ex-husband Wissam Al Mana, without help.

“It is hard being a working mother,” she told the Daily Telegraph’s Stellar magazine according to Entertainment Tonight. “I don’t have a nanny, I do it all myself.”
She added: “Of course, when I’m working someone watches him, but it’s my baby and me.”

Her Park MGM residency, “Metamorphosis” has been a hit since it launched in May with the likes of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Gabrielle Union, Queen Latifah, Magic Johnson, and Yvette Nicole Brown in attendance.
During her acceptance speech at her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in March, she made sure to send a sweet message to Eissa.

“I just want to thank my baby, my beautiful son,” she said. “He wakes me up every single morning singing his own melodies. I want you to know that you are my heart, you are my life, and you have shown me the meaning of real, unconditional love. Mama loves you, Eissa.”


That Fabulousness that is Simone Biles! She makes history again with floor routine, wins 6th US title
As she won her sixth U.S. women's gymnastics title Sunday, Simone Biles hit yet another historic milestone — this time, during her floor routine.
Biles, 22, performed a stunning triple-twisting double-flip during the final night of the Women's Gymnastics Championship in Kansas City, Mo.

Fans cheered on the five-time Olympic medalist as she went for the landing at the end of her tumbling pass, nearly coming in out of bounds, but in the end landing with her feet firmly within the floor area.
The crowd went wild for Biles, who's not only considered one of the greatest gymnasts of her generation, but of all time. As soon as she finished her performance, Biles said she grabbed her phone to watch a video of the routine before she headed off to compete in vault.
“I didn’t want to be the last person to see it,” she said, according to Team USA. “So I went online to see what it looked like.”
The tumbling pass – three twists and two flips – was the first of its kind landed in women's gymnastics history, and came after Biles made history Friday night at the competition when she became the first gymnast ever to attempt a double-twisting, double somersault dismount from the balance beam.

Biles went into the second night of championships with a 1.75-point lead, and ultimately scored 118.500 throughout the event — nearly five points clear of Sunia Lee, who came in second, and almost seven points ahead of third-place finisher Grand McCallum.
She won her sixth all-around title at the event. The last time a female gymnast earned six U.S. titles was 67 years ago in 1952, when Clara Lomady won.

Following her routines Sunday, Biles said she "was a lot happier" than after her performance on Friday.

"I feel I haven't been as confident on bars this year as I was last year," she said. "To finally do a good routine like I can do it, I was really happy. I was very happy and the last event, so I was like, 'Thank God we're done.'"


Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott to Receive The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at 2019 VMA's
MTV has announced that Missy Elliott will be receiving this year’s Video Vanguard award at the Video Music Awards. The award is MTV’s version of a lifetime achievement trophy. Past recipients include David Bowie, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Guns N’ Roses, and last year’s honoree Jennifer Lopez.

“Missy’s impact on the music landscape is indelible,” says Viacom’s Head of Music and Music Talent Bruce Gillmer in a statement. “Her creative vision across production, performance and songwriting is unmatched.”
Elliott has been nominated for 41 VMAs and won seven, including 2003’s Video of the Year for her song “Work It.” Since bursting out on the scene in the 90s, Missy’s music videos, many helmed by director Hype Williams, have made an lasting mark on the medium, showing an inventiveness and quirk that still feel incredibly modern.

Along with the award, MTV has also announced plans for a pop-up museum dedicated to the rap legend’s videography in a yet-to-be-announced venue in New York City on August 24-25. The VMAs will air on August 26. Earlier this year, Missy became the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.


Christina Milian And Boyfriend Matt Pokora Celebrate the Child to be At their Gender Reveal Party!
Christina Milian and her boyfriend, Matt Pokora, celebrated the impending birth of their son via a gender reveal party this past weekend. Yes, you read the previous sentence correctly. Christina Milian and Matt Pokora are expecting a baby boy!
Violet Madison Nash, Christina’s daughter, was present and cheering as Matt and Christina revealed the gender of their unborn child. “I knew it,” the youngster exclaimed. “Baby brother on the way.”

Matt Pokora and Christina Milian announced their expectancy of a child a few weeks ago. The celebrity mom also told the press that her daughter is super excited about becoming a big sister.
 “She has several siblings from her dad’s side, [but] now she gets to be the boss and in control when it comes to me, so she’s excited about it,” Christina said. “She thinks it’s gonna be a boy. So she already has her dibs in for that, so we’ll see.” Violet was right!

Christina Milian and Matt Pokora are expecting their baby boy to arrive next year. Stay tuned for more celebrity family news!


Lady Gaga funds local teacher projects in El Paso Texas and Dayton Ohio in wake of shooting
Some Dayton-area teachers got a fundraising boost this week thanks to music star Lady Gaga, but Dayton Public Schools staff did not benefit because of the district for the moment bans staff from receiving funds from crowdfunding efforts.

Lady Gaga announced Friday that her Born This Way Foundation had fully funded all classroom projects from Dayton, El Paso, Texas, and Gilroy, Calif., that were listed on a crowdfunding website called Donors Choose. The three communities were all hit by mass shootings in an eight-day span.The singer’s post said “14 classrooms in Dayton, 125 classrooms in El Paso, and 23 classrooms in Gilroy will now have access to the support they need to inspire their students to work together and bring their dreams to life.”According to the Donors Choose site, the requests Lady Gaga funded included a classroom table in Mad River schools, an area rug at a Clayton elementary, books at the Miami Valley Academies charter school, and a table and soft chairs at the Richard Allen charter school in Dayton.

Some of those projects had already been partially funded via regular crowdfunding donors, and Gaga’s foundation covered the rest of the cost. Projects from Dayton Public Schools are not listed on the site, however, because last September the school board approved a policy prohibiting school employees from launching crowdfunding campaigns on behalf of Dayton Public Schools or any individual school.

The board made its decision after the Ohio Auditor’s office encouraged schools to set formal crowdfunding policies. The Auditor’s office said allowing the donations without rules created the potential for improper project requests or donations being diverted for private use.At the time, Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli said DPS had funding streams available for many items that teachers can tap into. But with no mechanism to track crowdfunding, she said DPS didn’t want to make “an error in judgment” by allowing the process and then not having the manpower to control it. 

School board Vice President Jocelyn Rhynard said Sunday that the board voted to prohibit crowdfunding just to create time to review the best policy going forward. She said after getting advice from the Ohio School Boards Association, she had hoped to make progress this summer, but the two school board policy committee meetings did not have a quorum.“We have a policy meeting I believe on Aug. 20 before the review meeting where this will be on the agenda,” Rhynard said. “It’s frustrating that we don’t have policy put in place, but we want to make sure that this is done thoughtfully with all of the contingencies worked out beforehand so there are fewer problems afterward.”Rhynard said the draft policy would make Donors Choose the sole permitted crowdfunding site for DPS staff, with guidelines on what projects can be pursued. “It does need to be in line with academic goals, and there should be somebody (from DPS) who oversees it, just in case something (is proposed) that takes away from our mission,” she said.


Donald Trump Re-Tweets Clinton Epstein Conspiracy Theory

Did John Singleton’s girlfriend abandoned him in his last days?
The mother of John Singleton penned a scorching public letter accusing his surviving girlfriend, Rayvon Jones, of doing far too little to save the legendary director’s life back in April.
As has been reported, the director of the classics Boyz N the Hood, Baby Boy as well as Shaft and 2 Fast 2 Furious died on April 29, 2019, after suffering a major stroke. Singleton had just returned from a trip to Costa Rica in Central America when he complained of not feeling well and of weakness in his legs.
Singleton quickly went into a coma after checking into an L.A. hospital. He never recovered and died days later.

In a Facebook post Singleton’s mother blames Jones, his child’s mother, for not doing more to save her son’s life.
“My mind is wrapped [around] the beginning of your body’s fall. You were vomiting up blood, you had trimmers that night. Don’t know what came first vomit or the argument. Or did it begin as you boarded the plane home? You were tired when you left and tired when you returned. No open arms, just crossed defiant fists greeting you. I visualize the stress and your fatigue, I could not protect you.”

Singleton’s mother, Shiela Morgan, suggested in the scathing Facebook post that the Hustle & Flow producer suffered the fatal stroke while in the bathtub, and believes no one around tried to save his life.
“Only the baby in the bath with you gave you comfort. Fear must have struck when your body began to trimmer again and you couldn’t lift yourself from the sunken tub of water. Will the baby remember those moments? Didn’t they know to never be placed in a bath after you showed signs of trimmer. And in that moment you knew these people could not help you nor could they have the brainpower to find someone who could. No care that was given to you when your body expressed a distressing need to be shielded from the blood seeping from your cranial vessels.”

Morgan remains angry that no one called her nor first responders in the critical final moments of Singleton’s consciousness.
“No one called ME. No one called 911. They shifted you to your bed and let you lay until the morning. No one called your mother or the medical professionals who could have helped you. NO NO NO. I can’t stop thinking about this truth.”
The mother concluded her fiery FB post by saying she never wants any of them who were around him to ever get near her.

“Don’t blame them I [feel] so sorry for them because they must live with that. I don’t blame them yet I am repelled from their energy. I know not to let them touch me or surround me.”
Jones vehemently denies Morgan’s claims. Jones said she and Singleton both believed it was a case of food poisoning and that’s why they opted to take a bath instead of calling an ambulance. She said she would have never put his life in danger.


Liam Hemsworth Speaks Out About Split From Miley Cyrus
Liam Hemsworth is, understandably, taking his split from Miley Cyrus very hard.
The 29-year-old Australian actor spoke out about his break-up, admitting that he's having a tough time, on Monday (August 12), just two days after his wife's rep announced that the couple, who wed in December 2018, had "agreed to separate at this time."

"You don't understand what it's like," Liam told Daily Mail Australia when asked about the split while out on a frozen yogurt run with his older brother Chris Hemsworth and the Thor actor's three children. He added, "I don't want to talk about it mate."

Liam's statement came hours after Miley broke her silence about the split, following the release of photos of her kissing Brody Jenner's ex-wife, Kaitlynn Carter, during the ladies' group vacation in Lake Como, Italy. "Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win. Like the mountain I am standing on top of , which was once under water , connected with Africa , change is inevitable," she captioned a photo of her atop a mountain. "The Dolomites were not created over night, it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed. My dad always told me 'Nature never hurries but it is always on time'.... it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true. I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own .... 💙."

The 26-year-old singer later added in two additional posts, "New day. New adventure. 💚 Life’s a climb... but the view is great."

Miley and Liam met in 2009 on the set of Nicholas Sparks' film The Last Song. Despite having an on-and-off-again relationship, the couple got engaged in 2012. However, they called it off a year later, before reconciling in 2015. The two then got married in a quiet ceremony at their Tennessee home in December 2018.


#FASHION: All you Need Is Fashion! Stella McCartney “All Together Now” Beatles-Inspired Collection
Last year, the iconic Beatles film ‘Yellow Submarine’ celebrated its 50th anniversary, with its vivid hand-drawn imagery—by German artist Heinz Edelmann—digitally remastered for a modern audience. Stella attended a screening with family and friends and left inspired.

“It affected me in a way I just wasn’t expecting. Especially this idea of connecting people and bringing people together—politically this message has never been more relevant. So, I came out and I was like ‘I have to do something.’” – Stella

And so, the ‘All Together Now’ collection was born. With its accompanying campaign film, it is a psychedelic adventure through a colourful world, bringing the music, comedy, imagery and spirit of the film back to life in a new way. The film’s timeless message of peace, love and togetherness resonates deeply with the Stella McCartney ethos, and Stella sets out to reimagine it for a new generation. A fun, uplifting and hopeful statement of unity, at a time when it feels more important than ever.
FAB!


Sarah Silverman Was Just Fired From Movie for Doing Blackface in 2007
Sarah Silverman once did blackface for a 2007 episode of The Sarah Silverman Program, and the resurfaced image caused her to get fired from a movie recently.

“I recently was going to do a movie, a sweet part, then at 11 p.m. the night before they fired me because they saw a picture of me in blackface from that episode. I didn’t fight it,” Sarah said on the Bill Simmons podcast. “They hired someone else who is wonderful but who has never stuck their neck out. It was so disheartening. It just made me real real sad, because I really kind of devoted my life to making it right.”

They then went on to speak about “cancel culture.”

“I think it’s really scary and it’s a very odd thing that it’s invaded the left primarily and the right will mimic it,” Sarah added. “It’s like, if you’re not on board, if you say the wrong thing, if you had a tweet once … everyone is, like, throwing the first stone. It’s so odd. It’s a perversion. … It’s really, ‘Look how righteous I am and now I’m going to press refresh all day long to see how many likes I get in my righteousness.’”

Sarah Silverman continued, “It’s OK to go, ‘Wow, look at this back then. That was so f*cked up looking at it in the light of today of what we know,’ but to hold that person accountable if they’ve changed with the times, like for me … I held myself accountable. I can’t erase that I did that, but I can only be changed forever and do what I can to make it right for the rest of my life. If I look back on my old self and don’t cringe, there’s something wrong. Because if you’re putting yourself out there, it’s not going to be timeless.”


Black Ink’s Ceaser Released After Being Arrested For Fake Driver’s License
Black Ink’s Ceaser was arrested on Friday in New York after running a red light and failing to yield to pedestrians while going through a residential area in Brooklyn.

According to TMZ, Ceaser was immediately pulled over and was asked to produce his license and registration. The reality star handed over a license that read “Emmanuel Thomas,” instead of his real name, David Emmanuel.
Not only was the name incorrect, but the birthday was also eight years off. The license said he was born in June 1971 rather than his actual birthday, 1979.

The publication also reports that Ceaser was not able to produce a valid insurance card, which is why he was arrested on a misdemeanor for false impersonation and other traffic violations.

The reality star has since then been released.


Trump Administration’s New “Public Charge” Law Will Punish Legal Immigrants Using Government Assistance
Donald Trump’s administration plans on punishing immigrants who use benefits and government assistance.
Trump’s administration is looking to move forward with its plans to penalize immigrants for using government assistance in an effort to revamp the U.S. immigration systems. Under the new rules, immigrants who use or are expected to use a variety of federal, state and local government benefits, including food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid, will be denied green cards and visas.

The new rule is called “public charge,” a move Trump and his followers in the White House have been adamant about implementing. The guideline is set to be published in the Federal Register on Wednesday. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, announced the move Monday morning. Cuccinelli says the rule’s purpose is to clarify existing law, which was designed to make sure immigrants do not become dependent on the government.
“Through the public charge rule, President Trump’s administration is re-enforcing the ideal of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, ensuring that immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful in America,” he said.

“Public charge” is set to go into effect in 60 days but is expected to be met with backlash from immigrant rights groups.

The Daily Buzz For May 13 ☕📰☕


POSE Actress Indya Moore is the first transgender woman to cover Elle Magazine US!
“Pose” star Indya Moore is the first transgender woman to land the cover of Elle Magazine. The actress and model appears on the cover of Elle’s June 2019 issue.

The 24-year-old told Elle that her parents were confused when she was assigned male at birth but acted feminine as a child.
“Because I was assigned male at birth, they expected me to be masculine or to perform the way they thought young boys should perform. And I did not. They didn’t understand. They had never experienced what it was like to have a family member who was genderqueer,” Moore says.
Moore left home when she was 14 years old. She revealed that she became the victim of sex trafficking when she was a teenager. She says when she was 16 years old she was contacted by people on Facebook who offered her money for hormone therapy in exchange for sex.

“They told me that they had a lot of friends who were trans and they wanted to help me in my process, and that they could help me to get the money that I needed to be a woman,” the star recalled. “They told me that all I had to do was play with these men who will come in for a moment to see me and play with me and then they’ll give me money,” Moore says.
Moore agreed and participated several times. She says she “didn’t understand” what sex trafficking was at the time.
She received her big break on Ryan Murphy’s “Pose” as the beautiful prostitute Angel who falls in love with one of her clients, Stan Bowes (Evan Peters), who works in Trump Tower. Moore told Elle she knew the role would be groundbreaking for her.

“I just knew my life was going to change. I knew I had a chance to teach the world something that would help more people to be safe,” Moore says.
“Pose” season two returns on June 11 at 10 p.m. on FX.


NBA Playoffs! Kawhi Leonard's buzzer-beater gave The Toronto Raptors victory over The Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 thriller!
Kawhi Leonard’s shot looked short. And it was. His baseline shot as the fourth quarter expired hit the side of the rim. It didn’t look like the ball would go in. It looked like overtime. But then the ball bounced around the rim three more times — it seemingly took forever — and fell in.

The Raptors defeated the Sixers 92-90 on Sunday and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals where they will face the Milwaukee Bucks. Game 1 is Wednesday in Milwaukee (8:30 p.m. TNT).
After 48 minutes and four quarters of Game 7 between Philadelphia and Toronto in this semifinal series, the Raptors were two points better than the Sixers because of Leonard, who finished with a game-high 41 points.

In 135 Game 7s in NBA history, Leonard is the first to win the game on a buzzer-beater.
It was not a beautiful game, but it was hotly contested. The defense was stifling, the points hard to come by, the stakes high and the environment tense.
Philadelphia’s Jimmy Butler tied the score at 90-90 with a driving layup following a missed Leonard free throw. The Raptors called timeout and ran a play for Leonard.
The Sixers defended the play and forced Leonard into a difficult shot. On a night when the offense struggled against superior defense, Leonard had just enough.
On to Milwaukee!


#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Offers Updates on Marriage and Husband's Health, But Avoids 'RHOA' Talk
NeNe Leakes was all smiles at the Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studies' Annual Mother’s Day Luncheon in Beverly Hills on Thursday, where the organization honored her with their “Woman of Achievement” award for her cancer advocacy work. The event benefits the John Wayne Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Burbank, California. The organization has raised millions of dollars for cancer research since its launch in 1990.

"I couldn't even believe that said, 'NeNe Leakes,' OK?" the 51-year-old gushed to the folks over at ET about the honor on the red carpet. "Like, what you saying about me? It means a lot to me, it really, really does. You know, as you know, my husband, [Gregg], was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and ever since then, we have been all over this whole cancer thing, because it was devastating to our family. But, I'm happy to say today that Gregg is much better. We don't know that he is free of cancer, but he’s much better."
Gregg’s cancer battle put a strain on his and NeNe’s marriage, which was well documented on season 11 of the Bravo hit. At one point, NeNe admitted to considering a second divorce from her husband. Today, though, NeNe says she and Gregg “are doing good.”

"Now, there are people who do not understand what a caretaker role is, or they just didn't understand I was frustrated,” she admits. "'Why are you frustrated? You're not the one with cancer!' But, you know, I was frustrated because I was a caretaker, and being a caretaker's hard. It's one of the roles, where you don't get any shine for that. You just be a caretaker and shut up!"
The frustration came through on RHOA, especially at the season 11 reunion. The tension between NeNe and all of her co-stars was evident on screen, with even host Andy Cohen appearing to get agitated. When ET asked NeNe how she felt about that reunion and her co-stars today, her representative intervened. ET has chosen to include the moment in our coverage after learning that NeNe’s team streamed the interview in-full on Instagram live. The clip has since circulated on Twitter and Instagram.

But, judging by her attitude on the carpet, the fun, bright NeNe fans first fell in love with on RHOA is back, and fully reinvested in her marriage.

"Gregg is doing great," she notes. "He took a body scan, I think, two days ago, a PET scan, to see if there is any cancer in his body, if it has spread anywhere, and he'll get the results next week. Fingers crossed, I know he's good. He looks good. He lost weight and the way he lost, it looks amazing on him. So, I know he's good."


#Empire: Recap; Season 5 Finale Kingsley and Lucious Finally Come To Terms With One Another
Over at the church, Lucious is walking toward a casket. He tells someone to open it again so he can look at his son. And he looks down on Kingsley asleep forever on silver sheets. Lucious pulls a flash drive out his pocket – full of music – and puts it in Kingsley’s pocket to keep forever.  And now the flashbacks meet “right now.”

FBI agent Conway comes into the church and tells Lucious it’s his turn to be questioned. Thirsty (Andre Royo) tries to stop it, but he can’t. She shows Lucious pictures of Cookie and Damon and tries to bait him with the news that Cookie had an affair. But Lucious calls the pictures photoshop and he walks out to bury his son.

Conway returns to her office, where she finds Damon Cross (Wood Harris) waiting for her. He promises $20 million for her upcoming election fund and proof that Lucious is a crook in exchange for the FBI leaving him alone. And Conway smiles and agrees. First Lucious, she says, and then? I get my $20 million. Next we’ll discover the TURNCOAT!

#HipHopNews: Young Thug Targeted In Drive-By Shooting
Young Thug was reportedly targeted during a drive-by shooting in Miami on Friday morning (May 10).

Multiple witnesses tell TMZ that the rapper was riding in a Ferrari alongside two party buses carrying members of his team around 6 a.m. when someone pulled up next to them and opened fire. Two men and one woman who were on the buses were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
Thug escaped injury, but witnesses say he was on the scene when shots were fired. However, sources close to him say he had left the party at LIV Nightclub an hour prior to the shooting and was en route to the Miami Beach Hotel. Cops are now investigating.
Prior to the shooting, Thug had performed at LIV on Thursday night. He is scheduled to perform at Rolling Loud in Miami on Saturday.

Earlier this week, Thug’s collaborator Offset was recording at an Atlanta studio when someone opened fire. He was not harmed during the drive-by shooting, but sources believe he was the target.


Rihanna Makes History With LVMH/Fenty Partnership
PARIS, FRANCE – Pop culture behemoth and fashion icon Rihanna and LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton are uniting to bring the world luxury fashion maison Fenty.
The 31-year-old recording artist born Robyn Fenty, who hasn’t released an album since 2016, will become the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH as well as the first Black woman to ever lead a fashion house at the brand. It’s also the first new house created by LVMH since Christian Lacroix in 1987.

LVMH announced the news Friday (May 10) after rumors of a potential deal between both parties began to swirl in January, the New York Times reports. The first looks from Fenty’s impending collection are expected to be unveiled in 
the coming weeks. It will include ready-to-wear pieces, shoes and accessories.

To put Bad Gal RiRi’s latest move into perspective, the house of Fenty will be among historic brands such as Dior, Givenchy, Celine and Fendi.
“Everybody knows Rihanna as a wonderful singer, but through our partnership at Fenty Beauty, I discovered a true entrepreneur, a real C.E.O. and a terrific leader,” Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, added.
“Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us,” the pop mogul said in a statement. “Mr. Arnault has given me a unique opportunity to develop a fashion house in the luxury sector, with no artistic limits. I couldn’t imagine a better partner both creatively and business-wise, and I’m ready for the world to see what we have built together.”

Rihanna’s astute business moves outside of the music industry have produced her diverse cosmetics line Fenty Beauty, lingerie brand Savage x Fenty and athleisure collection Fenty x Puma, which made its debut at New York Fashion Week in 2017.
She is one of the forerunners of the industry whose brands represent diversity and inclusion. Her beloved Fenty Beauty line, with its assemblage of 40 varied shades, reportedly garnered over $100 million in its first 40 days of operation. When Savage x Fenty launched last year, it was praised for embracing all body shapes.
Rihanna is known for her contemporary fashion and is someone many look forward to seeing at the Met Gala every year (though she was noticeably missing from this years).

In 2014, she was awarded the Fashion Icon Award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards.

Kayne West & Kim Kardashian Welcome Their 4th Child
Kim Kardashian took to social media on Friday (May 10) to reveal the happy news that their fourth child — a baby boy — was born without a scratch on his head.
“He’s here and he’s perfect!” the 38-year-old star said of the newborn delivered by a surrogate.
She also made note of the family resemblance tweeting, “He’s also Chicago’s twin lol I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her.”

The newest addition joins siblings North, Saint and Chicago.
The surrogate hired to carry Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s fourth child has reportedly gone into labor. According to TMZ, the famous couple was at the hospital on Thursday night (May 9) with the surrogate.
Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner was blindsided with the news while taping an episode of The Ellen Show. She had no idea the surrogate was prepping for delivery.

“I surprised @KrisJenner with 6 of her grandchildren,” Ellen wrote on Twitter. “Then I surprised her with one more. Sending love to you, @KimKardashian and @KanyeWest! @kourtneykardash.”
Although ‘Ye and Kardashian were in the delivery room for the birth of Chicago, their third child, it’s unclear if they will be in the room this time. The woman who they brought on board to carry Chicago was unavailable to carry the new baby boy — only because she just gave birth to her own child less than 12 months after delivering Chicago.

The newest addition to the family joins his older siblings Chicago, Saint and North.


Pua Magasiva, 'Power Rangers' actor, dies aged 38
New Zealand actor Pua Magasiva, best known for his role in "Power Rangers" and as a long-running star of the country's soap opera "Shortland Street," has died aged 38, his production company confirmed.

Magasiva played the Shane Clarke, the Red Wind Ranger, in "Power Rangers Ninja Storm" -- the 11th television installment of the popular superhero franchise.
Police were called to an address in Wellington on Saturday morning (local time) and found his body, according to media reports in the country. Cause of death has not been revealed.
The Samoan-born actor had also starred as nurse Vinnie Kruse in hundreds of episodes of "Shortland Street," one of New Zealand's most popular soaps.
He began the role in 2003, at the height of his fame, and has starred in the show since his return in 2012.
"We are all absolutely devastated at the tragic news regarding Pua Magasiva," the soap's production company wrote on social media Saturday.

"Pua was a much loved member of the South Pacific Pictures' family for many years and our hearts and thoughts go out to Pua's family at this time," they added.
Magasiva had made some of his earliest appearances on the same show years before, with minor parts in the early 1990s. He also had parts in TV programs "Outrageous Fortune" and "Diplomatic Immunity" during his lengthy career.
His "Power Rangers" co-star Jason Chan added on Facebook: "Incredibly sad to hear that one of our ranger family is gone. It will never be the same again. PUA you will be so dearly missed. You were the center of energy on set and off. Always laughing, giggling and involved in practical jokes."
Magasiva married teacher Lizz Sadler last year.



#BoxOfficeNews: Avengers 'Endgame Picked off 'Detective Pikachu' at the Box Office!
Disney's Avengers: Endgame still captured the weekend's top spot over this Mother's Day weekend.
With an estimated $63 million, Avengers: Endgame topped the weekend box office for the third straight weekend in a row for a domestic cume that now stands at $723.5 million. Endgame is only the third film ever to top $700 million domestically as it topped Black Panther to become the third highest grossing domestic release of all-time.

Internationally, Endgame added another $102.3 million for an international cume that now stands at $1.76 billion and a global tally reaching $2.485 billion. The film remains the second highest grossing international and worldwide release ever, trailing Avatar both categories, though by just $302 million worldwide and $265 million internationally in what could end up a very tight race.

Finishing in second is WB's Detective Pikachu with an estimated $58 million. The adaptation of the 2016 video game of the same name, which itself was based on the popular Pokemon franchise, delivered what is now the largest opening weekend for a video game adaptation ever, topping 2001's Lara Croft Tomb Raider ($47.7m). Not only that, opening weekend audiences liked the film to the tune of an "A-" CinemaScore, which is only the sixth time a video game adaptation has scored anything higher than a "B". In fact, three of the previous "A-" CinemaScores went to WB's three previous Pokemon films and the other two "A-" scores went to Mortal Kombat and Rampage.

Looking ahead, should Detective Pikachu follow in the footsteps of previous video game adaptations, we're probably looking at a domestic run anywhere from $145-165 million. Outside that range on the high end, films such as Hitman, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and Prince of Persia delivered 3x multiples, which would mean a domestic run closer to $175 million, but a performance closer to the likes of Rampage and The Angry Birds Movie seems a little more reasonable at this point, which would suggest a domestic run topping $160 million. However you look at it, we're talking about a film that will soon become the highest grossing video game adaptation of all-time domestically as it has already entered the top ten after just three days in release.

Internationally, Detective Pikachu delivered an estimated $103 million this weekend for a running overseas cume that now totals $112.4 million after opening in Japan last weekend where it has brought in nearly $13 million so far. The film's international performance is led by this weekend's opening in China where it has already brought in nearly $41 million. Additional openings include UK ($6.6m), Germany ($5.0m), Mexico ($4.97m), France ($4.8m), Australia ($3.5m), Korea ($3.2m), Italy ($2.8m), Spain ($2.2m), Indonesia ($2.14m) and Taiwan ($2.06m). The next major market release is Russia where the film will open on May 16.

UA Releasing's The Hustle finished in third with an estimated $13.5 million, which is just ahead of expectations for the comedy remake starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. Opening day audiences gave the film a "B" CinemaScore while 72% of the crowd was female and 66% were under 35 years old.
Internationally, the film debuted in 36 locations with an estimated $13.7 million led by a $2.4 million opening in Russia. Additional openings include Germany ($1.8m), Australia ($1.8m) and the UK ($1.5m). Looking ahead, the film will open in Mexico on June 28 followed by July openings in France and Brazil.

Sony's The Intruder held on better than expected for a fourth place finish after dipping just -39% in its second weekend for a $6.6 million three-day. The film's domestic total now tops $21 million after ten days in release.

Rounding out the top five is Lionsgate's Long Shot, which also held on better than expected with an estimated $6.1 million three-day, dropping -37% in its second weekend. The romantic comedy has now grossed just shy of $20 million domestically.


Falling outside the top five is eOne and STXfilms's Poms, which debuted in 2,750 locations and could only manage an estimated $5.1 million. This is the second disappointment in as many weeks for STX, which saw their animated feature UglyDolls disappoint last weekend. Poms received a "B+" CinemaScore from opening day audiences and saw females make up 75% of the opening weekend crowd while 85% of the weekend audience was aged 25 or older.


The Tea Is! ‘Paternity Court’s Lauren Lake was intentionally excluded from Emmys speech By creator David Armour!
The “Paternity Court” creator’s Daytime Emmys speech that excluded host Judge Lauren Lake may have been intentional.

When the daytime series won for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program, creator David Armour took to the stage with the cast and crew and delivered a full acceptance speech but failed to acknowledge Lake. Social media erupted with disappointment and anger on behalf of Lake, who later addressed the bittersweet moment in a Twitter video.

“I just wanted you to know that I am fully aware of how upset you are that when ‘Paternity Court’ won the Emmy … I did not get a chance to speak to you from the stage,” she said. “I want you to know that I’ve already started some very serious conversations with my team, and we’re going to be meeting in the near future to discuss this further.”
Armour later apologized in a post on Facebook, writing, “Congratulations to the BEST! My sister from another mister, Lauren Lake on her well-deserved Emmy win! After stumbling through a speech and not mentioning the biggest reason ‘Paternity Court’ is a huge success, Lauren Lake, I have pledged to never again make fun of people who walk on stage with a written speech.

“…you are a dream and I hope we have the opportunity to work together and help families for many many more years to come! #FeelTerribleButGladWeWon.”

However, a source told the folks at Page Six that there was nothing accidental about Lake’s exclusion.
“He did that on purpose. It wasn’t an accident,” the source said. “He knew ahead of time that only one person could speak. He was going to dust her anyway.”
A spokesman for the National Academy of Television confirmed that nominees are told “long in advance” that there can only be one speaker no matter the size of the group.

Still tacky tho!

Former O.J. Simpson Prosecutor Chris Darden Withdraws From Nipsey Hussle Murder Case Citing Threats Against Him and His Family
Chris Darden will appear in court today alongside the man accused of killing Nipsey Hussle for the first and only time, saying he is withdrawing from the case in part because of the threats he has received for the defending the man.

Darden announced the decision on Facebook, writing, “After centuries of a history of black men hung from trees without trial, or after the thousands of cases of black men tried, convicted and executed without counsel … I cannot understand why in 2019 some people would deny a black man his 6th Amendment right to counsel of his choice. Or why defending such a man should invite threats not only against me but against my children too.”

He continued, “The right to counsel is … not only a constitutional right, it is a civil right as well. Just as they were in 1995-Cowards never change. These days these cowards don’t send letters instead they sit anonymously behind keyboards threatening a man’s mother and children. And some folks think that’s funny. It isn’t and I won’t ever forget it.”
Darden addressed his critics directly, saying, “To those who issued those threats to my children please pay close attention so there is no misunderstanding. Later. F**K YOU!”

He concluded by saying, “As for me, I continue to thrive. I continue to be loved. I continue to walk with kings. And I will continue my pursuit of fairness and justice on behalf of my clients and others charged with crimes. After 25 years some of them still haven’t learned : Their lies and threats will never deter me from my mission. Thank you again my good friends. The struggle continues. Thank you.”

As reported, Chris Darden had been on the receiving end of numerous threats since he made the decision to represent the man suspected of killing rapper Nipsey Hussle.
According to our sources, after he took the job, Darden received numerous threatening message on social media. The people writing the messages were pissed off he was representing Eric Holder.

Some of the messages Darden received include:
“C**n bastard I hope you die.”
“You a sell out garbage ass ni**a.”
“You a bitch.”
“Shame on you for taking on the Nipsey Killers case. You doing the entire culture a disservice.”
Darden’s daughter, Jenee, went on social media after her father took the case, saying she was “receiving vile comments and messages” since her father took the job.

“Like many of you,” she wrote, “I found out about my father’s involvement in the case while scrolling through social media. I was not prepared for this backlash that has triggered bad memories from the O.J. Simpson trial.”


Michael Jackson’s Son, Prince, Graduates College!

 “Prince, it’s been a long road but you did it. Keep learning, keep growing and keep giving back! So so proud of you. I love you,” T.J. wrote alongside a photo of the two after the ceremony.
The 22-year-old son of M.J. also showed off his graduation ring, and showed off some graduation photos with his girlfriend, Molly.

Drake Reveals His Own Private Plane, Air Drake
Aubrey Graham, better known to the world as the Rapper, Drake, just posted a video of the unveiling of his very own private plan. It’s no secret that Drake likes to spend money, but this splurge is on a whole new level. For those who can afford to fly via private charter jets, Drake’s reveal just upped the bar on luxury flights and flying in style. He casually brags in the video clip, “No rental, no timeshares” which only proves how poor the rest of us really are.

The exterior of the plane is branded with Drakes signature OVO owl and a set of praying hands. However, the inside of the aircraft is stunning. Filled with lounge areas, comfy sofas and work stations, this is nothing like any plane you’ve traveled on before. We will have to stay tuned for more on when the aircraft is ready to take its first flight. Who knows what Drake has up his sleeve, between rumors of a collaboration with Taylor Swift, Chris Brown and Megan The Stallion, this summer is already gearing up to be one for the books

Cardi B's ventures into fashion is not that far off from being as successful as her music career.
