The adorable rapper from the Bronx, NY stars on the Cover for i-D’s Spring 2018 Issue, shot by photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch. In an up-close and personal interview with Hattie Collins, the breakout star of 2017 discusses the importance of feminism, her first lap dance… and rides a white horse through Manhattan.
“Being a feminist is real simple; it’s that a woman can do things the same as a man. I can finesse. I can hustle. We have the same freedom. I was in top of the charts. I’m a woman and I did that.”

#RHoA: Shamea Morton Spilling Tea on Rumors Of Cynthia Bailey’s Boyfriend Will she Wonders If He’s Bi-Curious Frequenting Gay Bars?
On the Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show, Shamea Morton is the latest person to give her two cents on Cynthia Bailey‘s man, Will Jones. Shamea shares the most recent rumors that she has been privy to.
Shamea shared, “I’ve heard some things about Will. I’ve ran into a few people either dating him or felt that he was somewhat of an opportunist.”
Shamea even spilled a little tea on a friend who had a dinner date with Will, “My friend said that she felt some kind of way about him and when the check came he was like “let’s go dutch”.”
“I had people in my ears like ‘oh my god he does not want that fish’.” Shamea then shared one of the bits of gossip she heard at Cynthia’s party. “One of the homies from Cynthia’s 50th birthday party said that he frequents predominantly gay bars. So I was like ‘wait what?’ and they were like ‘yeah he dates men’.”
Shamea says there’s just no way that can be 100% true because he dated her good friend. She then wondered if maybe Will is bi or possibly bi-curious.

#EMPIRE: Taraji P. Henson SLAMS Beauty Co. Over Fake Endorsement
Henson became irate over an Instagram post on Monday from the North Carolina-based company, Urban Skin RX. In the post, the company used a photo of Henson alongside one of their products, which they referred to as the “secret for Henson’s effortless glow.”
We’re told the actress even DM’d the company and told them to immediately remove the post from their social media, which they did a short time later.
A rep for Urban Skin RX tells The Blast, “It looks like the post you mentioned was a repost of this article where it’s reported that the products were used during glam for an awards show. Taraji personally reached out to the company to inform us that the information in the article was incorrect. Immediately after, it was removed. We have a lot of respect for Ms. Henson and will no longer mention it.”
Henson and this company have a history together. According to our sources, Henson complained to them once before after they used her name in radio commercials.
But Henson also once sang their praises on Instagram, thanking them for a gift bag and saying she swore by their cleansing bar. She has since deleted that post.

#HIPHOPNEWS: Azealia Banks Dubs Cardi B An "Illiterate Untalented Rat" While Trolling ATCQ's Jarobi
A Tribe Called Quest’s Jarobi got more than he bargained for when he posted a video of Cardi B to his Instagram page on Monday night (February 12).
Before Jarobi could say “Bodak Yellow,” Azealia Banks had jumped in his comment section and declared she was unfollowing him for posting the clip.
“Ewww,” Banks wrote. “You’re getting unfollowed for posting this illiterate untalented rat. This bitch is not an artist if anyone needs to humble themselves. It’s her. Lol she got her teeth done last year and they are already yellow… truest definition of take the girl out of the hood but can’t take the hood out the girl.”
Banks wasn’t done there. The Harlem rapper, who recently announced a new record deal with E1 Entertainment, continued going in on anyone who came at her, including Jarobi.
The outspoken 26-year-old is getting ready to release Fantasea Two: The Second Wave, her first full project since 2016’s Slay-Z mixtape. Over the course of her career, she’s often attracted more attention for her wild antics than her actual music. From igniting beef with Remy Ma to her incident with actor Russell Crowe in a Las Vegas hotel room, Banks’ name is consistently in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Fantasea Two: The Second Wave is expected to arrive in March.
Meet Danielle Herrington! The newest 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit cover star!
Danielle Herrington will be the third black woman to be featured on the cover of the "Sports Illustrated" Swimsuit Issue, joining Tyra Banks and Beyonce. Buzz60's Sam Berman has the full story. Buzz60
The hotly anticipated 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was revealed Tuesday, and model Danielle Herrington graced the cover in a barely-there pink bikini.
Who is the up-and-coming model? Here's everything you need to know.
She’s from Compton, Calif. The model, who now resides in Brooklyn, told Fox News that her childhood was "pretty normal," and remembers looking up to Tyra Banks growing up.
The 24-year-old also revealed that she always dreamed of modeling even though she says she's "always been really shy." Joining a modeling school as a schoolgirl helped her build her confidence, she told the news outlet.
She's making history. With the SI cover, Herrington has become just the third black woman to appear on the cover of the magazine, joining Banks (1997) and Beyoncé (2007).
Her big break was also with SI. Her first big photo shoot was for the magazine's swimsuit issue last year as part of the "rookie" class. SI Swimsuit editor MJ Day called Herrington a "natural brand ambassador."
She's got model connections. Although Herrington is relatively new to the spotlight, her Instagram is scattered with her latest runways, like Juicy Couture, other model friends including New Zealand's Ashika Pratt.
Looks like the model isn't taking her new-found fame for granted.
"I can't even believe I'm saying this. I am the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model," Herrington told SI. "I can't wait for everyone to see it. I'm emotional, but I just want to say thank you to everyone who believed in me. I put in so much work for this, and I'm feeling very accomplished, happy and excited."
She also shared an inspiring message on her Instagram when revealing her cover.
"I dedicate this to all the young girls out there. Work hard, surround yourself with good people who believe in you and your DREAMS WILL COME TRUE!," she wrote before thanking a long list of people.

Wife Of Temptations Singer Dennis Edwards Accused Of Abusing Him Before His Death
The final days of Dennis Edwards’ life were spent away from his wife of nearly two decades. A Healthcare Consortium of Illinois investigator filed an order of protection against Brenda Edwards on Jan. 12 alleging that she tried to suffocate him. Chicago police are now looking into the matter.
Mr. Edwards died at the age of 74 years old in a Chicago hospital after spending over 30 years of his life living in the St. Louis area. According to his daughter, Denise Edwards, the couple relocated to Chicago to seek better medical care for her father. There is no word on why the investigation into Mr. Edwards’ welfare was opened, but as reported by The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mrs. Edwards denies any wrongdoing.
“I loved Dennis, and we were married for 18 years,” Mrs. Edwards said. “I would have never done anything to harm him. These allegations are false and defamatory and will be proven as such. Until this is all over, I have no further comment.”
According to Mrs. Edwards, her husband was suffering from complications of meningitis which was ultimately his cause of death. But the investigator accused her of holding his head face down on the bed in an attempt to stop his breathing.
Mrs. Edwards was also said to have taken the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame singer’s hearing aids from him. The investigator believed Mr. Edwards to be incapable of advocating for himself. It was reported that he was “bed bound and immobile,” so the department took steps to remove from their Chicago residence.
Less than a week after the investigator reported on Mr. Edwards’ condition, an emergency protective order was filed against his wife. Mrs. Edwards was set to appear in court to contest the Jan. 18 order on Friday, Feb. 2, but her husband died the day before and the hearing was cancelled.
The Chicago Police Department has opened a criminal investigation into the allegations against Mrs. Edwards. But the family is focusing on plans for a memorial service in Mr. Edwards’ honor. He died just two days before his 75th birthday and has been survived by five daughters and one son.
#WINTEROLYMPICS2018: Shaun White earns gold medal with epic finish in halfpipe
One of the eateries in this tiny hamlet in the Taebaek Mountains serves hamburgers. One is named after Shaun White.
Its namesake tried one the other day. “It was a magical moment,” he said.
Not quite as magical as what happened just up the hill in Phoenix Snow Park on Wednesday in the finals of the snowboard halfpipe at the Winter Olympics.
It wasn’t that Shaun White won the gold medal; he’s done that twice before. It was where, when, why. And how.
“He’s a psycho,” said fellow American Jake Pates, who finished eighth and was trying to put into words what he just witnessed. “He’s really, really, really good, man. And he can turn it on when he has to, land it when it means something. I think the dude thrives on pressure, honestly. History shows that dude does good when it’s turned up.”
Here’s how much it got turned up:
White, a 31-year-old from Carlsbad, scored 94.25 on his first of three runs to take an early lead, only for Japan’s Ayumu Hirano to do what only he has in snowboarding history and land back-to-back 1440s (four revolutions) for a 95.25. White, figuring he needed to match Hirano, tried back-to-back 1440s in his second run and couldn’t hang onto the landing.
That left him with one run, the last of the competition, and this fate: Do something he never had, or settle for silver.
“Some people are gamers, some aren’t,” said coach J.J. Thomas, the 2002 bronze medalist. “He’s a relentless competitor. He thrives under the pressure. That’s what it takes. He almost needs the pressure to perform.”
White spent the moments before the final run riding loops on the chairlift.
“Anything to distract from this pressure-cooker situation,” White said. “I don’t know. I sat there and looked down at the pipe. I said, ‘I know you got this, you’ve been working on this all your life.’ I dropped in and let all of those cares and worries go away and truly believed in myself.
“I knew I had it in me to do it. And I did it.”
Mary J. Blige To Star In Netflix’s ‘The Umbrella Academy’
Oscar nominated actress Mary J. Blige isn’t wasting anytime with her new found acting career. The multi-Grammy winning singer will star as assassin in a new series for Netflix titled, The Umbrella Academy.
According to S&A, The Umbrella Academy is an adaptation of Gerard Way‘s comics and follows the estranged members of a dysfunctional family of superheroes (The Umbrella Academy) – Luther, Diego, Allison, Vanya, Klaus and Number Five – as they work together to solve their father Reginald Hardgraves’ mysterious death. However, the group begins to unravel due to their divergent personalities and abilities.
Blige character is described as follows: Cha-Cha is a ruthless and unorthodox hitwoman who travels through time to kill assigned targets. Even though she has a few gripes about the bureaucracy of her employers, this job is her life.
She is sadistic, sociopathic, and her reputation precedes her. Her true love is torture, and she thinks of herself as a “pain artist.” She really doesn’t care for people—except for her partner Hazel.
Round out the cast is Tom Hopper, Emmy Raver-Lampman, David Castaneda, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Ellen Page.
This is Blige’s second project with Netflix. She most recently appeared in Dee Rees‘ Mudbound, for which she received her Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

Keshia Knight-Pulliam Speaks Out, After Being Voted Off Celebrity Big Brother: I needed to breast feed my daughter.
Keshia Knight-Pulliam is speaking out, after being fired from Celebrity Big Brother. The Cosby Show star explains that she had to put her one-year-old daughter Ella’s needs over the show. She says,
There is no amount of money ever worth sacrificing her needs. When you become a mother your entire world shifts. Everything I do is for this little girl. I am grateful for the Big Brother opportunity. However, nothing tops this feeling right here. Tonight I won! My desire is always to be an example of #BlackGirlMagic because I have my little girl and millions of little girls around the word watching, learning & modeling my actions. This is BIGGER than me.
Prior to her being kicked out of the house, she was nominated for eviction alongside Omarosa Manigault. She asked the houseguests to vote for her to leave because of how badly she missed her daughter and how she needed to return home to nurse her.
I was ready to stay and fight but my breast milk supply has kind of been getting a little less. They asked me honestly and I was like, ‘You know, to tell you the truth, since you guys put me up on the block anyway, it’s time for me to go home. It’s time for me to make sure that Ella’s OK, ’cause she is my priority.

‘A TASTY MORSEL’
Ok, honestly those are some nice panties. I mean, not on you. But if they were off you and hanging on a rack or on someone that I’d like to see wearing them, I’d say “Wow, those are subtle but very nice undies.” So I guess what I’m saying is, I find you kinda odd but you’ve got good taste.
