Charlize Theron Flashes Flesh On W Magazine May 2015 Cover

She certainly knows how to turn up the heat, and Charlize Theron is smoking (literally) in her new cover story for the May 2015 edition of W magazine.

Sporting plenty of Cartier bling, the 39-year-old “Italian Job” actress showcases her flawless physique in a series of snapshots taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

In her interview, Charlize discussed what it felt like to have a shaved head while filming her new flick “Mad Max: Fury Road”- “It was really fun to shower with my bald head. You have not showered until you’ve showered hairless. That’s all I have to say.”

Mary J. Blige Opens Up About Surviving Pain And Turmoil, in her documentary The London Sessions!

Last week, was the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary "The London Sessions" starring Mary J. Blige. The 45-film documents the recording of Mary's 13th album, which took place in the UK with the help of Sam Smith, Disclosure, Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy, and Sam Romans.

Mary sat down with NBCBLK to talk about the film, the years of drama and turmoil she survived and what's next for the Queen Of Hip Hop Soul. Here are the highlights:

On public fallout from her eviction, the "Crisy Chicken" song, and financial impropriety with her philanthropic endeavors:

"Well, I don't really know why a lot of it was happening...it was just time for it to happen and it was time for it to happen to me, so it could push me to another level and another place.'

Taking responsibility for her own mistakes...

"It was a disastrous," Blige, 44, added — owning up to her accountability. "And a lot of it came from not paying attention; a lot of it came from just trusting the wrong people. And it was a wake up call, it was a huge humongous wake up call for me to say 'Look, you don't need any of these people around and I'm going to make sure that you see how fast they run when this happens.' And it was just the biggest wake up call ever."

On being grateful for her struggles...

"I'm grateful for it though and it hurt like hell because it was public and it all over and I was like 'good Lord.' It was very, very painful because back in the day, I've been through hell but with today's social media and the news and it was something so big and disastrous it had to be for something good."

"And when you see the amount of it, you get to see exactly who you are. And it's how you respond to it or react. And what I learned is that I really respond well because I don't pay it any mind but the fact is that a lot of it hurt. But at the end of the day, you wont know it hurts. So, I just learned my strength in that. I learned my weaknesses and it's a whole other level from back in the days. I'm somewhere else in my life. It's a whole other strength that I learned that I had."

Apollo Nida : I still HAVE NOT seen my KIDS! Bring me MY KIDS!

It’s been months since Apollo Nida checked into a Kentucky prison to serve his eight-year sentence over fraud charges, and ever since then he’s been complaining that his estranged wife, Phaedra Parks, has been keeping his sons away from him. Although Parks has claimed that she and Nida are on better terms now, Nida is, once again, claiming that he still hasn’t seen his sons yet.

In a new interview with Life & Style, Nida claimed that he’s baffled as to why Parks won’t let his sons visit him in prison.

“I’ve told her I really need to see them and that I need that support,” Nida said. “But it’s still up in the air. It’s as if I have to jump through hoops from behind bars.”

Nida explained that sons talk to him on the phone, but says that the distance between them is taking a toll on them mentally.

“It makes them sad that Daddy isn’t home with them,” Nida said.

Clearly, Nida and Parks still aren’t seeing eye to eye these days. We just hope these two, despite what their history shows, are acting in the best interests of their children and not in the best interest or themselves.

Someone hacked PRINCE’s Facebook Account!

As someone who’s notoriously shunned technology, it was rather shocking when Prince decided to join Facebook and host a fan Q&A last October. His interest waned relatively quickly however, as he deleted the page after answering just one question. This morning, Prince’s Facebook page was re-activated with a pair of messages promising new music.

Sadly, it appears the real Prince was not the one behind these postings, but rather a hacker who managed to guess his password (‘Purple’, ‘Pancakes’, ‘New Girl’?). Either that, or Prince was feeling particularly self-depreciating — and hungry.

The page was taken down by Facebook

WOW!

NEW COUPLE ALERT?! Ciara and Seattle Seahawks Ruseell Wilson?

Hmm…is Ciara still a single lady? She was spotted spending time with Super Bowl champ Russell Wilson over the weekend. While we believe Ciara is a single lady these days (after calling it quits with her baby daddy Future last summer), it appears she may be hopping back in the dating pool.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson hit up the Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers baseball game at Safeco Field in Seattle. And it appears that he brought Ciara along for a home run…we mean, a fun day out at the field. Nothing wrong with that. Russell's a single man after he filed for divorce from his wife of two years in April 2014.

If the twosome are an item, we see this as an upgrade...for both. If not, nothing wrong with having friends.

SORRY FOLKS, Bobbi Kristina Is Not Awake, Still In Coma

It has been nearly three months since Bobbi Kristina has been in a coma and according to her father Bobby Brown, he and Whitney Houston’s only child together is “awake.”

During the singer’s show over the weekend at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas, Bobby told the crowd that Krissi “is awake” and that “she’s watching me.”

BK’s aunt, Tina Brown also said on Facebook that Bobbi “woke up and is no longer on life support.”

But we learned today that the 22-year-old has not awaken and that she is still is in a coma. Sources close to the family tell Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier that BK has not been responsive, which contradicts what Brown said on stage.

Bobbi was found unconscious, face down in a bathtub full of water on January 31 inside her Roswell, GA home. The 22-year-old has been fighting for her life at undisclosed location in Atlanta.

Last month, during an exclusive radio interview with New York’s WBLS, BK’s grandmother Cissy Houston expressed that that there is “no great deal of hope” for Krissi. “So I’m asking everyone to pray to the Lord,” Houston said. “Who we know can do something about it. If he works a miracle, thank God. If it happens the other way, I’m all right.”

White Cops & Officials Resign After Town Elects First Black Woman Mayor

Tyrus Byrd was elected as the first Black female mayor of Parma, a small city in Missouri. After her win and swearing in last Tuesday, much of Parma’s police force and several city official mysteriously quit their jobs.

Local outlet KFVS highlighted Byrd’s election and subsequent issues with city management in a report last week that was later updated Monday (April 20) morning. Outgoing mayor Randall Ramsey held the post for 37 years and was the first to announce the exodus of city staff. According to Ramsey, five of Parma’s six police officers, the city’s attorney, the city clerk, and the waste water treatment plant supervisor all handed in resignation letters citing “safety concerns.”

Just two of the outgoing officers were full-time while the three others were part-time reports local outlet WSMV. Adding to the abrupt nature of the firing, Mayor Elect Byrd tried to access the resignation letters and look into the concerns of safety but the computers were cleared of its former documents once she came into office. Byrd, who was born and raised in Parma, was once the city’s clerk as well and vowed to do her best to keep the city clean and intact.

City residents reacted to the walk-outs but stressed that Parma didn’t need that large of a police force and that they will give Byrd a chance to turn things around.

WSMV reports:

Some say they’re not worried about their safety and it wasn’t necessary to have that many on staff for a city the size of Parma.

Some say they’re relieved about the situation and that Parma doesn’t have that many problems in town to require so many officers.

“I think it was pretty dirty the way they all quit without giving her a chance, but I don’t think they hurt the town with quitting because who needs six police for 740 people?” said Martha Miller of Parma.

Ironically, Mayor Ramsey lost the election by 37 votes, one vote for each year he held office.

‘Mortal Kombat’ debuts 1st gay character

NetherRealm studios released the highly anticipated 10th edition of their acclaimed Mortal Kombat game series, and, of course, fans have been buzzing about every imaginable detail of the game. And one of those details is the fact that series just debuted its first gay male character with Mortal Kombat X’s Kung Jin.

According to IGN, the revelation about King Jin’s sexuality comes via a flashback scene, in which the thief-turned-shaolin monk has a conversation with Raiden who tries to convince him to become a warrior monk.

“Self-loathing has always been an unfortunate part of your makeup,” Raiden says.

Later, the thunder god tries to get Kung Jin to follow in his ancestors’ footsteps and become a warrior monk, like veteran character Kung Lao. However, Kung Jin thinks his sexuality won’t be accepted.

“I can’t … They won’t accept …,” Kung Jin says, sadly.

“They care about only what is in your heart; not whom your heart desires,” Raiden replies.

If any fans were still unsure about Kung Jin’s sexuality, Dominic Cianciolo, cinematic director of NetherRealm Studios, sent out a tweet confirming that the character is gay.

And we’re glad that NetherRealm Studios has debuted a gay character in the biggest game of the franchise’s history, helping to further pave the way for greater inclusion of LGBT characters in the gaming world.

Shocking Instagram account of 13-year-old boy shows weed and guns

There is a place for social media in the lives of teenagers. But one particular teenager from Memphis, Tennessee, posted images that show the life of a troubled child. This particular young man decided to show what his life centers around — weed, guns and negativity. The teen, who is only identified by the name Jonathan, posted disturbing images of him holding a gun, smoking weed and acting like a typical thug. But before you criticize this young man’s behavior, one has to ask where are his parents or older siblings?

The answer to that question is tragic, because an older brother was killed by gun violence and his older sister is in jail on charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping and firearms charges. His family claims they were unaware of Jonathan’s activities until they were exposed by local media. Despite his disturbing online behavior, Jonathan had close to 12,000 social media followers on Instagram making him a very popular young teenager.  When he was asked by a local reporter why he posted these images, the aspiring young rapper, whose posted lyrics include “Fifty shot, thirty shot, hit you with it … F— yo Glock. I bet I make your heart stop,” had a not-so-surprising response. Apparently, he was imitating his favorite rapper and stated, “Chief Keef got famous from that, right?”

Like many Black youngsters he was influenced by the music and imagery of the time and had little to no guidance in his home life.  Since the story broke his family has stated they were upset and subsequently both his Twitter and Instagram accounts have been deleted. The question now becomes who is more to blame here? Certainly not Chief Keef. Somehow young Jonathan was given access to a handgun and what appears to be pot. That means it was someone close to this young man who decided to give him help as a young thug in training.

Black Lives Matter but obviously he doesn’t think his do!

Ariana Grande & Big Sean: Lovers No More!

They’re both on their own respective career upswings, and it turns out Ariana Grande and Big Sean just don’t have time for each other.

The “Problem” songstress and her handsome boyfriend have reportedly split up, with their reps telling GossipCop, “They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends. We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time.”

Back in January, Big Sean told press, “We started as friends. I’d never done that. Usually you meet a girl and then start dating. We always saw each other in the studio, and we’d talk about songs we were working on. It was cool to have a girl that I could talk to about my problems. I did that with her… This is something special and I appreciate every moment of it.”

RIP: Ben Powers (Keith from ‘Good Times’)

Actor Ben Powers, best known for his role as Keith on 1970s TV sitcom Good Times, died on April 6 in New Bedford, Mass. An obituary did not reveal the cause of death. He was 64.

Powers was a standup comedian who made guest appearances on TV sitcoms Laverne & Shirley, Gimme a Break and The New Odd Couple, before landing his Good Times role.

Powers, who played a professional football player on Good Times, married Thelma Evans (Bern Nadette Stanis) in the 3rd season of the show.

Powers’ character Keith had plans to move Thelma out of the Chicago housing projects. But on their way down the aisle Keith tripped over Thelma’s brother, JJ Evans (Jimmie Walker), and broke his leg. Keith’s career-ending injury put an end to Thelma’s dreams of living a lavish lifestyle as a football star’s wife. Broke and destitute, Keith moved in with the Evans family for the show’s final 2 seasons. Good Times ran from 1974 to 1979.

Powers’ TV wife wrote on Facebook, “My condolences goes out to the family of Ben Powers who past [sic] a few days ago. He was a great actor and great friend who is gone too soon. He will be missed by many. Until next lifetime my friend.”

Powers’s funeral is set for May 3 in Rhode Island.

Mia Love, Tim Scott, & Will Hurd GOP History Or Historical Minstrels?

CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!

Are Historical Wins By Reps. Mia Love, Will Hurd And Sen. Tim Scott Really "HISTORICAL WINS" or Or Historical Minstrels??

If you're into politics, Tuesday night was many things.  And definitely full of drama.  The Democrats lost several seats, causing the Senate to flip over to Republican control.  SO with a fully Republican-controlled Congress, President Obama's life just got more stressful.  Can he live?

There were lots of historical wins for blacks, but hold on a second before you start cheering.

Utah selected Mia Love as the first black female GOP candidate (and first Haitian) elected to Congress in US History.  And she's also the first person of color ever to represent the state; South Carolina elected Sen. Tim Scott (above), making him the first black person elected to statewide office since Reconstruction and the first ever black senator elected in South Carolina; while House of Representatives candidate Will Hurd became the first black Republican elected in Texas since Reconstruction.

Some might argue that these "historical" wins aren't wins at all for Blacks (if you're into the passage of bills that may actually help the race). Here's what Rep. James E. Clyburn, a black Democrat, had to say about Sen Tim Scott,

“If you call progress electing a person with the pigmentation that he has, who votes against the interest and aspirations of 95% of the black people in South Carolina, then I guess that’s progress.”

SIDEBAR: Sen. Scott was already in the Senate when he ran (he was appointed), but this election, he was ELECTED by the voters.

And when Rep Mia Love spoke to CNN about her historical win, she completely sidetracked the whole "black woman" thing and said race and gender has NOTHING to do with her win.

Well, first of all, I think what we need to mention here is this has nothing do with race. Understand that Utahans have made a statement that they're not interested in dividing Americans based on race or gender, that they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest and who are -- who have integrity, who could be able to go out and actually make sure that we represent the values that they hold dear.

So you all in Utah shouldn't expect much support when it comes to helping minorities, or even laws that simply level the playing field and make life more fair for everyone.

In 2012, the former Saratgoa Springs Mayor made waves as a speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention.  Then, she ran for House of Representatives as the Republican candidate on a fiscally conservative platform of limited government and placed a heavy emphasis on "personal responsibility" during her campaign.  We all know "personal responsibility" is code for, 'No, I don't believe in leveling the playing field by creating/adjusting laws that would make life fair for usually slighted minorities.'

For instance, Mia believes colleges should be competing for students, and federal government should have no place in higher education in order to "bring down the costs".  Interesting, since public institutions are usually less expensive than private ones with no federal aid.  Even private HBCUs receive much needed financial help from the federal government. And does "compete for students" mean "leave it up to colleges to choose who they want"...which opens the door to discrimination if they deem it necessary?

By the way, "Mia's" birth name is Ludmya Bourdeau...and her birth place is Brooklyn.  In '98, after graduating college, she converted from Roman Catholic to Church of Latter Day Saints.  That same year, she met her husband, John, in September....and married him in December.  They now have 3 children. She totally WHITE WASHED HERSELF!

She lost that year, but won this week.

Then, there's Will Hurd in Texas. The best way to sum up the conservative former CIA officer is to say he's anti-Obama. He beat his opponent by describing him as beholden to President Barack Obama's policies, because you know, affordable healthcare to all and immigration reform are bad things to many in this country.

It's very strange as long as White Men were in The White House these folks stayed silent. Now a Black or politically correct Bi-Racial Man enters The White House they come a leaping.....Is Mia Love going to try and come for a White Woman in 2016.....WAIT FOR IT She knows her place!

The Battle is ON! Stacey for Romney VS LisaRaye for Obama

Stacey for Romney VS LisaRaye for Obama

Lisa Raye and Stacey Dash are making their dislike for one another very clear. First it was their inability to work alongside each other on the set of VH1′s “Single Ladies” now their political stance has got them on opposite corners yet again.

There was a huge fuss when Stacey Dash posted a photo of herself in a red bathing suit on Twitter, stating she was voting for Mitt Romney during the 2013 Presidential election. Even Vivica Foxx had a few choice words for Dash.

Now Lisa Raye has taken a similar route to show her support for Obama’s re-election saying “I Got Obama’s Back” while posing topless on a teacher’s desk in a new photo campaign. Do you think Vivica would have anything to say about Lisa Raye?

Now if that tit-for-tat wasn’t enough, Stacey Dash, who has already cast her vote early,  was recently photoed with VP candidate, Paul Ryan. “Fighting The Good Fight”, she tweeted.

We'll see Hon! The actress also quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and said that she is backing Romney "not by the color of his skin but the content of his character."

Not sure what "content" Dash found in Romney's "character" besides repeatedly lying, contempt for working people and working to undermine a women's right to choose what to do with her own body. Keep telling yourself that, hun.

Marsha Ambrosius: ‘I Am Not A Lesbian’

It looks as though Marsha Ambrosius alleged ‘coming out’ party ended before it had a chance to begin.

The other day, the ex-Floetry star had the internet buzzing after she released her new video for ‘F–K N Get Over It‘  that featured her about to get her freak on with a lover she was trying to move on from…. which happened to be a woman.  Since the video was released on ‘National Coming Out Day’ [a random holiday], it was assumed that Marsha was attempting to make a statement about her sexuality, however she shut that down quickly.

She posted on her facebook:

Double standards! Any male artist can openly brag about how many groupies he gets! Can u imagine how many men AND women have come on to me??? Listen to my music! I tell it! Always! I am not a lesbian! I am straight! I will never say I haven’t fantasized or had sexually explicit dreams about women before! That would make me liar! I’ve been called a lesbian since I got into the entertainment business! You’re no one till someone calls you gay lol I’m so comfortable with myself, I’m not afraid to tell the story from all perspectives! I’ve done so from the very beginning! Ppl hear what they want to hear! I make you listen to what I feel!

The Truth Behind Wiz & Amber Rose Delayed Wedding

I’m sure you were wondering why Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa delayed their wedding? Wiz sat down with XXL and revealed they pushed their wedding day back so their baby can be at the wedding:

“Nah, there’s no date set yet. But we’ll probably get licensed and married before the baby’s born, and do a wedding afterwards because it makes more sense for the baby to be in the wedding than for her to be pregnant,”

Amber chimed in with:

“Yeah, we definitely want our baby to be in our wedding pictures. And you know, being pregnant, I’m tired a lot,” the 28-year-old chimed in.

“So to have a whole wedding and planning it all out and the reception – I just don’t want to be sleeping when everybody’s partying at our wedding.”

Here’s What Really Happened Between Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent

According to reports the REAL reason Floyd Mayweather stopped dealing with 50 Cent is because 50 tried to take advantage of Floyd while he was locked up...

From Fight Hype 

When news about the formation of The Money Team [TMT] Promotions first broke back in July, we were led to believe that the company was created as a joint business venture between [Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent].

However, FightHype.com has discovered that was not the case at all. What was once described as a "breath of fresh air" actually turned out to be an attempted coup by those once considered to be close to Mayweather.

Apparently, as [50 Cent and former Mayweather associate Tommy Summers ] spoke to fighters, they painted a picture that Mayweather was indeed on board, when in reality, he wasn't. The notion that Mayweather was involved is one of the reasons why IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib was quick to sign with TMT Promotions, only to later find out that the facts were misrepresented to him. There was also an attempt to move former WBA featherweight champion Celestino Caballero to TMT Promotions, despite the fact that he was already signed with Mayweather Promotions.

Sources have informed us that 50 Cent and Tommy Summers tried to take advantage of Mayweather's incarceration in an attempt to oust long-time adviser Al Haymon in hopes of gaining control of Mayweather's career, both in and out of the ring. With the help of the influential Haymon, Mayweather has built a brand that has made him the highest-paid athlete in all sports. Their working relationship has allowed him to shatter pay-per-view records and generate revenue like no other fighter has ever seen before. One would think that Mayweather's achievements speak volumes about his working relationship with Haymon and their ability to succeed. Apparently, 50 Cent and Tommy Summers didn't see it that way. Ultimately, greed may have been the single solitary factor that caused long-time friends to go their separate ways.

OOPS: Pilar Says Deion Sanders Lied In Court, Hasn’t Paid Child Support Since April 

The very public divorce between Deion and Pilar Sanders, including their children continues. In an interview with Rumor Fix, Pilar claims that Deion has not paid child support since April for their three kids (he was ordered to pay $10,500, but says that's six times the amount required in the state of Texas). She also says that contrary to Deion's claims, he is not w/ or taking care of the couple's children 50% of the time. 

“He doesn’t want the children to live in the lifestyle that they are used to — he hasn’t even purchased them new clothes for school. They are not there half the time. He’s lied to the court. My oldest son is with me 100 percent of the time. He’s old enough to see the BS. He’s sick of it. He can tweet all the pictures he wants of his kids, but the proof is in the way he’s living. I built a brand that’s darn near indestructible. Now I’m paying for it.”

The couple had been married for 14 years. No official response yet from Deion's camp.

OH WOW: Adam & Tamera Mowry-Housley LASH OUT At Twitter Bullies ATTACKING Her Political Beliefs

It all started as the very pregnant actress Tamera Mowry-Housley spoke on the 2012 Vice Presidential Debate and Rt'd a follower who said that it was hard to watch because of the candidates constantly interrupting each other.  Well.....you would have thought that she pulled a Stacey Dash as folks on Twitter jumped ALL over her. 

Folks on Twitter assumed that because Tamera's husband is White and works at FOX News, that it meant she was attacking Biden and voting for Mitt Romney...and they weren't happy.  As hate tweets flowed in, Tamera tweeted:

Her husband Adam wasn't about to sit around and let her be attacked on Twitter so he jumped in the mix saying,

But this isn't the first time Tamera has been attacked regarding Adam as she revealed during a recent interview with ZAP 2 It.  She said,

"There were certain Websites who were saying horrible things about the fact that we're an interracial couple. It's like, really? About that? it's 2012 -- at that time, it was 2011.

"We didn't even know the people. It was just a site that allows people to comment on a picture. ... More than one person was saying cruel things. So, we got it from both sides, and it's like, 'Oooh, that's weird.'"

But Tamera has been developing a thick skin when it comes to the critiques on her marriage.  And she says she's had to deal with many outside opinions due to her hit reality show "Tia & Tamera." She said,

"Doing a reality show, you're open for the world to see. People are open to judge, and you're open to judging. As an actress, they're judging your talent; they're judging how you play your role. Whereas this, they're judging you as a human being. Fortunately, with our show, we have more positive than negative."

You can catch her and sister Tia when "Tia & Tamera" returns to the Style Network on Tuesday, Oct. 16. Also, she'll star in the Gospel Music Channel movie, "Christmas Angel," premiering Dec. 1.

Omarosa Back to Her Old Self Being a BITCH!

For the past few months reality show villain Omarosa Manigault has been in deep mourning for her beloved, the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan, but it appears Omarosa is back to her old self...

From NY Daily News 

Omarosa is at it again. At the “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice” press conference at Jack Studios on Friday, the returning contender posed for pics but then pulled a disappearing act during interviews. “Where is my Omarosa?” Donald Trump said at one point, looking around. Confidenti@l found the reality star playing ping-pong in another room. When we asked her why she skipped the red carpet, she snapped: “I didn’t want to. And when I don’t want to do something, I don’t do it.”
