Leave to Rihanna to take an oversized men’s shirt and transform it into the perfect summertime ensemble.

The “Pop” singer rolled up to Revolve Social Club in Hollywood to celebrate the Madeworm x Roc96 pop up event last night. The Grammy Award winner was shining like a diamond in a white oversized Juun J menswear shirt from the Fall 2017 collection. Of couse she had to add a few accessories to pull the look together.

The event was held to celebrate Jay Z’s Roc96 clothing brand’s new exclusive capsule of men and women’s wear in collaboration with luxury brand MadeWorn that will be released in Barneys. The line was inspired by Hov’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt.

Shannon Sharpe’s Powerful Reaction To LeBron James’ Message That 'Being Black In America Is Tough’

LeBron James responds to the racist acts that literally met him at his front door. Find out what he said about his home being vandalized, plus Shannon Sharpe’s powerful reaction to the racial vandalism inside…

LeBron James is speaking out after his L.A. home was tagged with N-word graffiti right after he and his teammates left for the NBA Finals in the Bay. The hate crime happened one day before King James is set to hit the court in his seventh straight NBA Finals.

Yesterday, the Cleveland Cavaliers baller sat down for a press conference before the Cavs go head-to-head against the Golden State Warriors tonight to address the hate crime. He used the opportunity to continue to stress how racism is still running rampant in America no matter how much THEY say it has gone away. He said he doesn’t matter how famous you are, how much money you have or no matter how much people love and adore you…being black in America is tough.

“If this is [going] to shed light and continue to keep the conversation [about race in America] going on my behalf, then I’m okay with it,” LeBron said. “But it just goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America.”

He said when he first saw the racial slur painted on his home, he thought of Emmett Till, the black 14-year-old who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955.

“She wanted to show the world what her son went through … being black in America"

He continued,

“No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough. We got a long way to go for us as a society and for us as African-Americans until we feel equal in America.”

Facts! LeBron is publicly saying what we’ve all been saying for years.  We’re glad he continues to use his platform to shed light on issues that still plague our country.

Peep his full convo interview. He starts addressing the vandalism at the beginning:

 

Speaking of reactions...

“Undisputed” co-host Shannon Sharpe never holds his tongue, especially when it comes to racial issues in America.

Shannon served up a raw and real response detailing what it’s like to be a black person in America. He said he wasn’t surprised one bit that this happened to LeBron.

“I’ve said this numerous times … The hardest job in America is being black because it’s the one thing you can not run.”

He talked about how no matter how much LeBron does in the community or how famous he is, white folks still have to attempt to remind him that he’s simply a n*gga. SMH.

SHE’S OUT! Joseline Hernandez Just Quit ‘LAHH: Atlanta’ – ‘F*&% Mona!’

Joseline Hernandez just quit “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.”  More inside…

Based on Joseline's social media posts, the fact she just quit the show that gave her stardom may have to do with Mona Scott Young not giving her the coins. Last night, chick threatened to expose the “Love & Hip Hop” boss.

Now, she's done! 

The Puerto Rican Princess announced her departure on her Instagram page with several posts. We noticed she hashtagged #FUCKYOUPAYME, so that leads us to believe that Jos may have asked for more money and Mona wasn’t having it.

Peep the receipts below:

Looks like Bonnie Bella's parents have reconciled after their huge fight last week. They were supposed to appear on the "Wendy Williams Show" together, but they canceled. Well, sort of. They wanted to do separate interviews, but Wendy wasn't with it. Apparently, Joseline and Stevie got into an argument at a restaurant and she poured hot (and cheesy) mushrooms over his head. Now, they're back together as if the incident never happened. These two....

Oh no!  Brandy just suffered a serious medical emergency before taking off on her flight take this morning.  Full details inside...

Brandy was on her way from L.A. to New York early this morning, but she became unconscious before the flight even took off.

After she boarded the plane and right before it took off, the singer lost consciousness.  It's unclear what caused the scary situation, but thankfully, she regained consciousness while paramedics attended to her on the jetway.  She was still taken to the hospital.

TMZ reports:

Brandy Norwood fell into unconsciousness on a Delta flight that was about to take off ... and paramedics rushed to the scene to administer help ...

Law enforcement sources tell us Brandy was on a Delta flight early Friday from LAX to JFK. Before the plane pulled out of the gate Brandy lost consciousness and passengers and flight attendants scrambled to help her.

We're told Delta contacted the L.A. City Fire Dept. and paramedics arrived quickly and removed Brandy from the plane. We're told she regained full consciousness while she was being treated on the jetway.

She seemed to be in great health yesterday, posting video of herself playing tennis:

Fifth Harmony debuts their first single since becoming a quartet on “Good Morning America’s” Summer Concert series with Gucci Mane. Check out their performance, plus will.i.am confirms that Fergie has officially left Black Eyed Peas. Get it all inside…

Fifth Harmony is now a quartet after Camila Cabello jumped ship to work on her solo career.

Normani Kordei and the ladies just released a new track titled “Down” that features Gucci Mane and they debuted the new song alongside the rapper for “Good Morning America’s” Summer Concert series this morning. The track is the first of new music since the group’s 2016 release of 7/27.

The ladies had Central Park litty as they rocked out to their new track “Down” and their smash hit “Worth It.”

“Down” is the first single from Fifth Harmony’s forthcoming third album, 5H3.

Peep their performances below:

In music news...

Fergie is out!

will.i.am put the rumors to rest and revealed Fergie is no longer in Black Eyed Peas. The Dutchess joined the group as a lead vocalist in 2002 and helped the group reach worldwide fame.

will.i.am explained her departure to UAE entertainment news magazine Ahlan! like this:

"Since the beginning of Black Eyed Peas, we've always had amazing vocalists that appeared on the mic with us. People like Macy Gray, Esthero, Debi Nova, Fergie. On Elephunk, there were several females that appeared on that album," will.i.am said. "Obviously Fergie was the featured female, but on songs like 'Let's Get it Started,' it's Noelle [Scaggs], and then Fergie, songs like 'Latin Girls,' it's Debi Nova, and 'Request Line,' it's Macy Gray. We'll always work with good females."

There were rumors that former Pussycat Doll singer Nicole Scherzinger will be taking Fergie’s spot. That’s still unclear, but this is what will.i.am said about it:

“Nicole is on the new BEP project as well. I don’t want to go into details how she’s involved yet.”

Sources tell E! News that over the last few years, Fergie has been phasing herself out of BEP. Fergie’s departure came right after she launched her own record label, Dutchess Music once she chucked the deuces to will.i.am Music Group under Interscope Records.

Well, there you have it.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors kicks off this year’s NBA Finals with a win. Go inside to see what Steph had to say about going against LeBron James and the Cavs for the third consecutive year, plus Kevin Durant’s response to looking Rihanna after making a shot inside…

The first game of the 2017 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers went down with a BANG last night. The energy in the stadium was on 1000 and could feel it through the television. The Warriors were on fire and ended up taking home the first win against their rivals.

Sitting down for a post-game interview, Steph chopped it up with ABC’s TJ Holmes about the win and what he and his team plan to do for the rest of the Finals. You’ll notice, the Baby Face Assassin doesn’t have that baby face anymore. He grew out his beard and has no plans on cutting it during the Finals.

Going up against arguably one of the best players in the NBA, folks love to stir up drama between King James and Steph, who is regarded as the best shooter in the NBA.  Steph said he's got respect for LeBron and all, but he's not about to get this ring!

But, Steph says it’s all love between him and LeBron. Of course, they’re not buddy-buddy while battling it out on the court, but they both have a mutal respect for one another.  In fact, Steph said once they’re both retired, he sees himself and LeBron reflecting on all the good times  playing against one another in the league.

Peep his interview below:

 

Speaking of post-game interviews...

 

 

Teammates Steph Curry and Kevin Durant sat down to chat with the media following their win against the Cavs, 113-91.

KD shot a 3 pointer towards the end of the game and looked at the crowd afterwards. Social media got into a tizzy as everyone thought KD was staring at Rihanna after making the shot.  In case you forgot, KD tried to shoot his shot at Rihanna on twitter a while back, and she was spotted heckling the hell out of him last night from the sidelines.

A reporter asked him about it, and you can tell he didn’t want anything to do that tea. His face said it all.  Peep the clip above at the 38-minute mark.

 

By the way, Game 1 was TV gold! It was the third highest Game 1 ever on ABC with an average minute audience of nearly 500,000 viewers.

The 2017 NBA Finals will continue with Game 2 this Sunday at 8pm EST on ABC.

About That Paris Climate Agreement – Trump Trolled & Resisted By Barack Obama, The Weather Channel & Everybody In Between

Trump has pissed off everyone after pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. And folks aren’t shying away about their feelings. Go inside for details on several states forming the United States Climate Alliance, how the Weather Channel trolled Trump and former president Barack Obama’s response…

Right after Trump pulled out of the Paris Clime Agreement (a deal that would help reduce greehouse gases and global warming), members of his Advisory Council started dropping like flies.  Folks like Elon Musk and Apple's CEO threw deuces, and this was after they got dragged for joining in the first place...and stayed.

Governors of California, Washington and New York have banned together and formed an alliance to protect the U.S. climate goals. For whatever reason, Trump doesn't believe in global warming or that greenhouse gases having an affect on the planet.

The new partnership is called the United States Climate Alliance and it will reportedly serve as way for states to coordinate in dealing with climate change. This is a huge deal as the three states make up about a fifth of the United State and GDP, according to Politico.

Politicans - including NY governor Andrew Cuomo, NYC mayor Bill de Blasio, California governor Jerry Brown, and Washington governor Jay Inslee - took to Twitter to announce their new coalition:

   

 

 

  

 

 

 

  

 

 

Former president Barack Obama issued a statement in regards to Trump’s move and he’s confident that states and cities will continue pursuing a low-carbon future for generations to come.  And he didn't hold back.

The statement reads:

A year and a half ago, the world came together in Paris around the first-ever global agreement to set the world on a low-carbon course and protect the world we leave to our children.

It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made that achievement possible. It was bold American ambition that encouraged dozens of other nations to set their sights higher as well. And what made that leadership and ambition possible was America’s private innovation and public investment in growing industries like wind and solar – industries that created some of the fastest new streams of good-paying jobs in recent years, and contributed to the longest streak of job creation in our history.

Simply put, the private sector already chose a low-carbon future. And for the nations that committed themselves to that future, the Paris Agreement opened the floodgates for businesses, scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation on an unprecedented scale.

The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created. I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is also on board and he’s helping to foot the bill for the Paris Climate Agreement. He announced Bloomberg Philanthropies will cough up $15 million to support the UN:

 

Like to show your support for continued climate action. #ClimateofHope

Oh, and there was some shade thrown at Trump from the Weather Channel today.

On their website, they linked off to several posts on the impact of climate change can have on our environement. With titles like, "So What Happens to the Earth Now?" and "Still Don't Care? Proof You Should," we couldn't help but laugh.

'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay's Old Bae Is Kevin Durant, Says Insider

'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay may be engaged now, but she was almost engaged to a certain major baller a few years ago.   Deets inside...

Her self-proclaimed affinity for athletes makes perfect sense now.  Rachel Lindsay and Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant totally used to be couple.  A serious one at that, this according to Us Weekly's insider.

31-year-old Rachel and 28-year-old Kevin reportedly dated while in undergrad at the University of Texas in Austin.  What caused them to split?  Rachel had things to do, like copping that law degree at Marquette University in Wisconsin.

“They broke up when she went to law school,” the insider tells Us, adding that while they split amicably, “it was a pretty serious relationship.”

Kevin clearly has a thing for fabulously athletic ladies.  Rachel got her B.S. degree in Sports Management and his ex-fiance Monica Wright is a 2x WNBA champ.

By the way, can we re-live one of the most satisfying moments of "Bachelorette" history?  Rachel told one of her suitors, f**kboi DeMario, to GTFOH this week.  And it was glorious:

SIP THIS TEA! Melania Trump's Alleged Cheating Scandal Makes Us Side Eye Her Tiffany's Gift To Michelle Obama

We have some hot tea for you this Saturday morning. Grab you mugs and get into the details about First Lady Melania Trump allegedly cheating on No. 45 with a security guard inside…

Well, look what we stumbled upon.

Playwright Monica Bryne had time this week, so she was spilling all of the juicy tea.

Monica said she was told by a source (that she can’t reveal) that First Lady Melania Trump is getting it in with the head of security at the Tiffany’s inside of Trump Tower. Oh? Would that explain why she’s not interested in public affection with her husband, Donald Trump? Pictures of them holding hands and actually looking happy is very rare, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this was a staged photo-op to combat rumors about their strained marriage.

Anywho, Monica said the source claims Melania and the security guard have been having an affair for years and that Trump knows about it. Melania and Trump allegedly had an agreement where if he lost the election, they would get a divorce. Welp, that didn’t happen so she’s stuck, for at least another four years.

Monica even posted up a picture of Melania’s alleged sidepiece and @’d them both on Twitter, asking about the affair. Savage!

All we know is, if this is true, our tax dollars that go toward securing all of Trump Tower in NYC need to be reconsidered.  Ain't nobody trying to fund Melania's side peen.

Oh, and remember that Tiffany's gift Melania brought to former First Lady Michelle Obama on Inauguration Day (above)? *squints eyes & purses lips like Michelle* We see you girl....

What In The Racial Slur Hell? Bill Maher Refers To Himself As A 'House Ni**a' On National TV

 photo billm.jpg

Apparently, a white man referring to himself as a “house ni**ga” is humorous to some. Bill Maher cracked a racist joke while interviewing a Nebraska senator and the audience thought it was pretty funny. Hear the joke and decide for yourself inside…

Late night, host Bill Maher definitely messed up.

The “Real Time” HBO host sat down with Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Nebraska, for an interview. Sen. Sasse invited the late night host to his state to get in the trenches, so to speak.

“We’d love to have you work in the fields with us,” Sen. Sasse said.

Bill responded with: “Work in the fields? Senator, I’m a house ni**a.”

Excuse us?

Maybe he thought using the -a version of the N-word instead of the -er version made it ok.  After he cracked the racially insensitive “joke,” some audience members laughed while others just made "I'm so uncomfortable" noises. Bill then followed up with“It’s just a joke.”

Check it:

 

 

So, here we are. 2017 and white folks -- liberal or not -- are still making light of slavery.

We know what some of you are thinking: “Black people are just too sensitive.” Nah.  It’s about the dangerous slippery slope of making slavery into a joke. And if we want it to stop, we have to call them out.

Next thing you know, they’re going back in forth about who’s relevant and who’s not. Then Brandon clapped back…HARD.

Brandon brought Reginae’s father Lil Wayne and his Black Lives Matter controversy into the mix saying,“If you gone talk sh*t, expect to get sh*t talked back to you.”

Kanye West is ready to take his runway fashions to high school.

The PABLO rapper wants everybody in his rough-around-the-edges-and-everywhere-else threads, especially the teens.  'Ye reportedly wants to take control of Calabasas High School’s sports uniforms and he wants to help revamp the entire program. It’s being reported he met with school officials recently to pitch a collaboration deal with the school.

So here’s what sources say Ye is trying to do:

He apparently wants to change the school’s colors and change their mascot name from the Coyotes to the Wolves. In the deal, Ye will make a sizable donation to renovate school facilities, including upgrading their gym.

Nothing is set in stone, but it would definitely be interesting to see what designs Ye would come up with. We guess.

In other Yeezy news…

The Chi-town rapper is still taking break from working on his new album in Wyoming. After going to Disneyland with his family a few weeks ago, Ye and his wife Kim Kardashian West hopped on flight to the Bahamas for the pre-birthday turn up. 'Ye has a birthday coming up (June 8th), so they’re celebrating early. Oh, and the kids, North and Saint West, are there too.

“They rented out a huge luxurious amazing villa," a source told E! News."They had cases of Casamigos flown in and are drinking by their private pool. The kids all have their own play area and they all look like they are having a great time.”

"Kanye wanted to plan this vacation for their family as it's been awhile since they have taken a vacation together as a whole. Kim really needed time to relax and wants to spend quality time with Kanye and he is going out of his way to make it special."

Well alright.

Another couple spending time together....

Mariah Carey and Bryna Tanaka were all over each other during their date night last night.

Photogs caught the lovebirds leaving Mastro’s Steakhouse and they were all about the extra heavy PDA action as they exited the venue.

Look who’s keeping it cute with the baby bump.

Serena Williams returned to the French Open to cheer on her sister Venus Williams once again at Roland Garros in Paris. And ‘Rena must be her sister’s good luck charm because she beat Belgian tennis player Elise Mertens during yesterday’s match.

The soon-to-be first-time mom kept it easy breezy in a blue flower printed robe slightly covering her growing baby bump.

We’re not exactly sure when the tennis superstar and her fiancé/Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian are to expecting their new bundle of joy, but it has been reported she’s due this fall. We also still don't know if they're having a boy or a girl because the couple is waiting for the baby to make its arrival.  Serena cleared up gender reveal rumors recently saying it will be a surprise for them both.

Oh, and Serena has plans on returning to the tennis court once she gives birth. Let the Grand Slam titles continue to roll in.

Speaking of mothers...

END OF AN ERA! Doctor Rules Chris Bosh Will No Longer Play In The NBA

It’s over for Chris Bosh’s NBA career.  Details inside…

Chris Bosh’s NBA career has been up in the air after going to the hospital following the All-Star Game of 2015. He returned at one point, but that was short lived as he has not played an NBA game since Feb. 9, 2016.

Now, it has been confirmed by a doctor that his this is the end of his NBA career.

According to reports, a medical review instituted by the NBA and the Players’ Association matched with the Miami Heat’s stance that Bosh has a career-ending illness. He has suffered blood clots in his legs and lungs. Bosh was unable to play last season because he failed a physical last September.

Now, the Heat can release Bosh and clear his salary, which would leave about $37 million in space for free agency. Bosh’s salary for the 2017-18 season ($25.3 million) and 2018-19 season ($26.8 million) should reportedly be covered by insurance.  Yep, he's still going to get his coin.

Bosh wanted to return to the NBA, but his body won’t allow him.

While he hasn't been able to play basketball, Bosh has been getting in some much-needed time with his family. His twins, Phoenix Avery and Lennox Noel, with wife Adrienne Bosh just turned 1 and the Bosh Family celebrated...in style with professional photos galore, of course:
