Zendaya Talks Gender-Inclusive Clothing: “That’s the Future of Fashion, Right?”
Zendaya's new fashion line is breaking down barriers.
The 21-year-old actress is a true style chameleon, easily pulling off everything from a slip dress to a David Bowie-inspired suit. And this is the exact ideology she’s taken into her own fashion line, Daya by Zendaya.
In addition to carrying a large variety of sizes ranging from XS-XXL, Daya’s chic pieces were created to be worn by everyone no matter your gender, and the star’s diverse campaign shots makes it very clear.
In her Glamour November 2017 cover story, Zendaya shared that she wanted to give people the option to wear whatever they wanted, which was something she was able to experience at a young age. "That’s the future of fashion, right?" she told her interviewer and fellow actress Yara Shahidi. "I was lucky to have parents who let me wear what I wanted to wear and let me shop where I wanted to shop. Nine times out of 10 I was shopping in the boys' section. I wore cargo shorts and hoodies. That was my uniform. And it’s different being a girl. We can wear guys' clothes, but the second a guy wears girls' clothes, it’s like..." Added Shahidi, "What is he doing?" affirming Zendaya’s thought.
"That’s not fair," Zendaya responded. “I think, for me, it’s all about the experience of a shopper. For example, my sister is a thicker woman. She just had a baby; she’s got hips, a booty popping in these streets. Why should she have to go to a different section to get clothes?" she mused.
Thus, Daya by Zendaya was created. A one-stop shop for women and men of all shapes and sizes. The entire collection includes everything from super chic jackets to comfy jumpsuits and fierce rompers — all available at dayabyzendaya.com.
Something tells us this is just the beginning of many fashion milestones for the budding actress/designer.
#RHoA: So already Eva Marcille is BEEFING With One The 'Housewives?
The tenth season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is currenty in the filming stages and one of the newest faces to join the mix is Top Model Eva Marcille.
While the producers are hoping the pretty lady brings the heat so they can give her a peach, it's reported that they're not getting the spark they had hoped for as she refused to cough up details on a seemingly sentitive part of her past.
According to reports, things reportedly went left when one of the ladies (Porsha?)brought up rumors of Eva's alleged lesbian relationships with two major stars, which she firmly denied. To the dismay of the reality show producers, however, she maintained her composure on camera, but cursed out the cast member who brought up the hearsay, once the cameras stopped rolling.
The America's Next Top Model cycle three winner reportedly found it best not to discuss her alleged past involvement with women as her boyfriend, Michael Sterling, is currently running for mayor and she does not want to do or say anything that could negatively affect his campaign.
Her cautiousness, though admirable for her relationship, is reportedly not holding up well with the powers that be at RHOA
The tenth season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres on November 5 on Bravo.
#EMPIRE: Season 4 Episode 3 Spoilers: Anika Wants Custody of Her Daughter with Hakeem
Anika causes a stir in the next episode of "Empire."
In the episode titled "Evil Manners," the promo reveals Anika showing up in the Lyon mansion and demanding that she wants her daughter back. Previously, she left Bella in the care of Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and of course, Hakeem. At first, he did not know how to handle the responsibility, he soon adjusted with the help of his girlfriend. In the clip, Hakeem is telling his ex that the baby is not going anywhere. Anika certainly looks angry after hearing the man's decision.
Anika's relationship with the Lyons is still as difficult as ever. Still, she and Cookie somehow managed to cooperate with one another, especially when it comes to Bella. Bryers recently talked to Ebony about the said change in the women's dynamics. According to her, Anika trusting Cookie enough to take care of her child is a step in the right direction. Although they cannot personally stand each other, the baby is someone that they both care about.
"There was absolutely a lot of fire in the beginning, which intrigued audiences. I think now they're at a place where they realize they're not going to get rid of each other. They're going to experience life together. Anika's daughter is Cookie's granddaughter, so Anika can't cut Cookie out of her life and Cookie can't cut Anika out of her life. They're at a point where, not that they like each other at all, but they have an understanding that they have to co-exist," Bryers said.
Meanwhile, the episode will also see Cookie reminiscing about difficult times after she is denied a line of credit. She will remember her past struggles when she had no money in her pocket. As for Lucious (Terrence Howard), he still cannot figure out why his family hates him. He will attempt to ask them for an explanation, but they are all reluctant to tell him anything.
"Empire" season 4 airs Wednesdays, at 8 p.m. EDT on FOX.

#TEATALK: Willie Garson, aka SATC's Stanford, Throws Massive Shade at Kim Cattrall & Tells His Side of the Story
Willie Garson, well known for playing Stanford Blatch on Sex and the City, is throwing massive shade at former co-star Kim Cattrall for everything she’s been saying about the third film (which has now been scrapped.)
A quick recap of what happened: Last week, there were many rumors that Kim was being extremely demanding over the possibility of doing a third Sex and the City film. It was then revealed that a new movie was not going to work out and the show’s star, Sarah Jessica Parker, was upset by the news. Kim then publicly slammed SJP, and in addition, called out all her co-stars as “toxic.”
Well, once Willie read this latest report that Kim called the cast “toxic,” he took to Twitter to fire back. The shade is real: “Dear fans, because I’m ‘toxic’, I’m going to negotiate a contract for 6 months, not come to terms, then say I never wanted to do it anyway.”
Nelly Released Without Being Charged For Alleged Rape, Says Claims Are False
The Hip-Hop world collectively said “WTF?” upon learning that Nelly had been arrested for allegedly raping a woman on a tour bus. The St. Louis rapper has been released and commented on the non-charges, basically saying they’re bogus.
Nelly took to Twitter to make a statement and apologize to his fans and family.
“Let me say that I am beyond shocked that I have been targeted with this false allegation. I am completely innocent. I am confident that once the facts are looked at , it will be very clear that I am the victim of a false allegation,” he tweeted yesterday evening (Oct. 7). “I do want to apologize to my loved ones for the embarrassment and for putting myself in a situation where I could be victimized by this false and defaming allegation.”
Nelly also added that he has not been charged, therefore bail was not required for his release. Also Nelly’s lawyer refuted the accusation.
“Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation,” said attorney Scott Rosenblum in a statement released to Page Six. “Our initial investigation, clearly establishes, this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”

Vin Diesel DOESN’T Blame Dwayne Johnson For ‘Fast 9’ Delay, Tyrese Threatens The Rock
Vin Diesel Isn’t Beefing With Dwayne Johnson. After people called him out for his petty post, Vin Diesel moonwalked and went on record saying it’s not Dwayne Johnson‘s fault that the Fast & Furious 9 film has been pushed back to 2020.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, Vin posted a photo of Dom and Hobbs and also labeled it “Brotherhood.”
He went on to note that he is responsible for bringing The Rock into the Fast Family. He hinted that the delay was a way to give him time to tighten up the franchise.
Brotherhood… and all it’s complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer… and my son Vincent was born.
A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, ‘who they would like to see me work with?’ She said would love to see me work with Dwayne… I listened to her request and he became Hobbs.
I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed… but it would be unfair to say it is anyone’s fault.
As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success.
However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon… stay tuned.
Yours truly, Dom
