Grab your tissues and makeup remover wipes! The first look at ‘This Is Us’ Season 2 will have you shedding tears and messing up your whlike the entire first season. Check it out inside, plus details about Issa Rae joining the BLM-inspired movie The Hate U Give inside…

We’re getting close to the premiere of the 2nd season of the hit NBC series “This Is Us.” And to hold us over until the new season premieres on September 26th, we’ve got the first look at the new season. Of course, it’s emotional as hell.

In the new sneak peek, we see Randall (played by Sterling K. Brown) questioning his mother Rebecca (played by Many Moore) about how she and her husband Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) decided to adopt him after he was left in front of a fire station.

Rebecca opens up and tells what really happened the day they lost one of their triplets and decided to bring baby Randall home. Initially, Rebecca was against adoption, but Jack insisted that baby Randall should be a part of their family.

Check out the emotional clip below:

The 2nd season will also explain (finally!) how Jack died and Sylvester Stallone will also appear in a guest-starring role.

Be sure to make a stop at the store and rack up on boxes of tissues. “This Is Us” returns September 26th at 9pm EST on NBC.

Another one! Issa Rae has signed on to star in the upcoming Black Lives Matter-inspired movie, The Hate U Give. The drama is an adaptation of Angela Thomas’ debut YA novel, which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement.

The “Insecure” star will be joining Amandla Stenberg, Regina Hall, Common, Algee Smith, Russell Hornsby and Lamar Johnson.

The story follows a 16-year-old girl named Starr (Amandla Stenberg) who grew up in a poverty-stricken slum, but now attends a suburban prep school. After she witnesses a police officer shoot her unarmed best friend, she's torn between her two very different worlds as she tries to speak her truth.

According to Variety, Issa will play April, the activist that helps Stenberg’s character find her voice and speak up.

Algee will play Starr’s friend, Khalil, Regina Hall will play Starr’s mother, Russell Hornsby will star as Starr's father and Lamar Johnson will play Seven, Starr's older brother.

It’s interesting to note, a bidding war ensued after Angela’s book, The Hate U Give, started making its rounds. FOX 2000, Temple Hill and State Street landed the rights to the film after battling with several studios and production companies.

We’re here for this #BlackExcellence that's about to unfold.

However, there is a hearing for the for the domestic violence restraining order Chyna filed in July in response to Rob leaking her nudes on social media.

Taylor Swift Gentrified Beyoncé's 'Formation' In New Snippets, The Internet AINT HAVING IT!

Taylor Swift dropped a sneak peek at the reinvention of her "Reputation."  And the internets are not here for the Crystal Light version of lemonade she's bringing.  Get into the shade inside....

Leave it to Taylor Swift to get all the praises because she did something so revolutionary....that wasn't actually revolutionary.

We all know the drill: When a blonde women does more than the bare minimum, America rejoices as if she just changed the whole game.  Even if she copies from a black woman certain folks in America love to hate.  Just ask Michelle Obama.

Taylor erased all her social media recently, which we all know means an artist is about to make an image change. 

The country turned pop chick then dropped this sneak peek for her upcoming music video "Look What You Made Me Do" off her new Reputation album.  She's premiering during the MTV VMAS this Sunday (all the shade to host and frenemy Katy Perry), but it's already causing drama.

 

It looks quite familiar to an actual revolutionary song and video that dropped within the last couple years: Beyonce's "Formation."

The internet took notice -- as well as noticed Taylor's shade to Kanye West and his whole fam.  Black Twitter is in rare form, and we're sopping it all up with a biscuit. Check it:

Miguel is back with a new vid...and his obsession with mixing all the prints he can find. “Sky Walker” featuring Travis Scott is produced by Miguel himself alongside Happy Perez and the vid is directed by Director X.

He's been covering other people's new songs a capella on Instagram, and he's killing it.  We're def ready for some new Miguel heat.

J.R. Smith is tired of his peers speaking against his other peers so he’s speaking up and defending Colin Kaepernick. Meanwhile, LeBron James is coming to Isaiah Thomas’ defense. Receipts inside…

Cleveland Cavaliers baller J.R. Smith is sick and tired of athletes speaking negatively about their peers in the media. And he’s not afraid to call them out on it.

First, he aired out his frustrations in a video on UNINTERRUPTED where he discussed people criticizing Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem.

"We supposed to be all in the same boat," he said."Everybody come from their own struggles and their own situation. Everybody trying to prosper and do better in life. We don't need to drag one another down. That's corny to me."

 

Following the video, the NBA baller hopped on Twitter to continue sharing how he feels about athletes speaking down on other athletes. He didn’t name any names, but it’s obvious he’s referring to athletes speaking out about Colin. He also made it known that he’s standing with Kap.

LeBron James knows how it feels to have his jersey burned, so we’re not surprised he feels empathy for another NBA star who’s currently going through the same thing.

The four-time NBA MVP took to Twitter to defend his new teammate Isaiah Thomas. In a big blockbuster deal, Isaiah was traded to the Cavaliers and Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics. Celtics fans have been burning Isaiah’s jerseys in response to the trade. Well, King James has something to say about it.

"Undisputed" co-host Shannon Sharpe responded to those who say Colin Kaepernick isn't good enough for a job in the NFL and wonders why when black people do anything it's questioned."Why is it when a black athlete does something, it's a personal agenda and not for the betterment of their community?," he asked. Peep the full clip above.

Tyler Perry reveals why he's taking care of the man who abused him as child. Meanwhile, a white woman in a viral video is explaining why she had to "lay hands" on a racist white woman. Get it all inside...

It takes a strong person to forgive someone who abused them in the past. It takes an even stronger person to take care of their abuser.

A man Tyler Perry thought was his father abused him as a child. Now, the famed filmmaker is taking care of the man who brought so much turmoil to his life.

During a recent episode of “Oprah’s Master Class,” Tyler gets candid about his life where he revealed he financially supports the man who physically and verbally abused him as a child.

“Number 1, my mother asked me to because she loved him,” Tyler shared. “And secondly, as terrible as he was, and as horrible as he was, he never once left us. We were never hungry. And every time he’d go to work, all week, he’d bring all the money home.”

While he’s financially supporting Perry Sr., he explained they don’t have a relationship. And never will.

“I’m giving him what he gave to me," he explained. "I had shelter, I had food. He has shelter, pretty nice shelter, and any food that he wants to eat. What I missed from him, being in a relationship, is also what he’s missing from me now. So, he doesn’t have everything. He has what’s easy.”

Peep the clip below:

In real life news...

 

Don't start none, won't be none.  This white racist woman found out the hard way.

The woman in the teal dress got her a** whopped after mouthing off racial slurs toward a Haitian security guard inside a La Quinta hotel in Coral Springs, FL.

The woman in the teal dress Is 39-year-old Summer Cortts and she has been charged with disorderly conduct and inciting an affray (fight) after she got HER behind handed to her.

23-year-old Colleen Dagg witnessed Summer berating the security guard, so she stepped in. Their verbal argument turned physical when Summer got in Colleen’s face and hit her. All hell broke loose after that. Colleen laid them paws on her while hotel employees watched before breaking it up. Peep the clip above.

After the beat down went viral on social media, Colleen has been dubbed “Becky Knuckles.” Ha! She took to her Twitter and explained why she went total bad a** on Summer:

It appears the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star is dating a man named Will Jones. We’re not exactly sure what he does, but we believe he’s either a motivational speaker or a principal of consulting at a technology firm….or BOTH.

Will appeared on the “Steve Harvey Show” once where he revealed his profession. Peep the clip below:

Back to Cynthia and her new man…

It’s unclear how long the two have been seemingly dating, but Will hasn’t been shy about showing Cynthia love on his social media handles:

 

 

 

 

Cynthia has chimed in with "thank yous" and kissing heart emojis.

Unconfirmed word on the curb is that Will has been married before...and maybe more than once. We do know he has at least two children. He posts two young girls on his Instagram frequently.

Looks like Cynthia just nabbed her a good looking storyline to keep her peach.

Chokwe Antar Lumumba became the youngest (and quite possibly the hottest, TBH) mayor in the history of Jackson, Mississippi after being sworn in at the Jackson’s Convention Center Complex last month. #RealLifeYBF

The 34-year-old beat incumbent Mayor Tony Yarber after losing to him in a special election in 2014. It was a tough loss - Chokwe’s father left the mayor seat vacant after he passed away after serving less than a year in office.

By the way, that’s his beautiful wife Ebony Lumumba looking on as Court of Appeals Judge Latrice Westbrooks administered the oath of office. Come thru black love!

During the swearing in, the new mayor became overcome with emotion speaking about his late father, standing in the same place his father did when he was sworn in as mayor years before.

“A son only holds his father’s hand for a short while, but he holds his heart forever,” he said. “I can’t help, but to be emotional today.”

Aww! Such a full circle moment.

As devastating as it was that he did not get that seat in 2014, he said it was a blessing in disguise.

“I’m actually grateful that we lost the election in 2014, not because the sincerity was not there, not because we didn’t believe we would have done a good job, but, we’ve been able to appreciate far more what’s going on with the city of Jackson, and I’ve been able to appreciate more within myself,” Lumumba shared during an interview with “Democracy Now!”

He continued, “People have to remember, in 2014, not only did I bury my father in a two-month time span and then enter into an election, my wife was pregnant with our first child. And so there was a world of change. You had a first-time candidate, who had not run for junior class president, much less mayor of a city. And so, we’ve been able to, you know, gather more information and position ourselves better.”

Good for him.

Major congrats to him and to the people of Jackson!

Floyd Mayweather's TKO Gives Him 50th Win, Celebs (Especially Russell Wilson & His '99 TMT Look) Are Going Nuts

You would think they were besties if you only saw their post-fight press conference. That wasn't the case during last night's fight though where Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor literally threw all the punches to get a TKO ending. Find out how celebs are going nuts inside...

IssaTKO!  Floyd Mayweather officially nabbed his 50-0 record when the ref called the match in the 10th round last night during the fight of the year....possibly the decade thanks to all the hype.

Irish MMA fighter Connor McGregor proved to be more of a bonafide opponent than most folks thought, but he ran out of steam toward the 10th round.  And it was a wrap.

McGregor may have landed a punch...maybe two.  The quick on his feet Mayweather dodged most punches and definitely landed a few of his own (you could see Connor's black eye at his fight after party).

At the post-fight press conference, they exchanged niceties after berating each other for months.

Floyd said, "McGregor is a lot better than I thought he’d be."

Floyd also confirmed he's retiring on his perfect 50-0 record: "This was my last fight, for sure. I chose the right dance partner."

By the way, can we discuss Floyd's head to toe custom Philipp Plein pre-fight and walk out looks?

Mask on, mask off, all extra-ness. Twitter had all the jokes about that damn ski mask.

 

Celebs were here for Floyd's historical undefeated record, even though he was the favorite to win anyway.

Russell Wilson and Ciara had the Seahawks over for a fight party, and the QB decided to throw it back to the 90's with this TMT look.  Apparently it's because he lost a bet (not a bet on the fight). We can't even! Hilar.

Either way, the bag was reportedly secured for both. Floyd copped another $350M while Connor went home with an extra $100M. SOounds like a win-win to us.

F*** BOI MATERIAL: Steelers Baller Le’Veon Bell Allegedly Got RAMS Cheerleader PREGNANT While Engaged To Pregnant Fiancé

If this isn’t a f*** boi, we don’t know what is. Pittsburgh Steelers player Le’Veon Bell allegedly got a former RAMS cheerleader pregnant while his fiancée Mercedes Dollson was about 8-months pregnant with their child. Ugh. More inside…

Another day, another f*** boi story.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is out in these streets doing the absolute most. The NFLer allegedly got another woman pregnant while he was engaged to a woman named Mercedes Dollson. The other woman is allegedly a former RAMS cheerleader named Cherise.

 photo leveonfiancee.png

For the last four years, Le’Veon and Mercedes (above, with their daughter) have been in a relationship and they welcomed their daughter in January 2017. There has been talk that Le’Veon keeps a new chick around, but now it’s rumored he may have impregnated one of them.

Word on the curb is that Cherise recently gave birth to a son that is believed to be Le’Veon’s. They allegedly hooked up back in November when Cherise flew out to Pittsburgh. Oh, and it gets worse. It’s alleged that he and Cherise had sex in the home he shared with his former fiancée while she was visiting family in California. Whet?! Chile…

And get this. If you look at the timelines of when these babies were born, it means he got Cherise pregnant while Mercedes was about 7-8 months pregnant. Gross.

Not only that, another woman came forward saying she was messing around with Le’Veon around the same time and he allegedly told her that Mercedes was only living with him to watch his dogs. He also supposedly denied his daughter. We can’t.

Alleged receipts below:

Needless to say, Mercedes left him:
