Next Season Of ‘Power’ Set To Make MAJOR Bloody Moves + Everyone’s Reaction To The Finale Has Us Crying Laughing

The season 4 season finale of “Power” left us stressed out, cursing everybody out, and ready for bloodshed when we saw the most gangsta trio on tv link up at the end. Showrunner Courtney Kemp drops a few nuggets on what we can expect from season 5. Plus those “Power” reaction memes that had us ROTFL…

SPOILER ALERT!  Read below at your own risk.

 

Season 4 of “Power” sent us all on a wave of emotions as Ghost worked his ass off for redemption. He eventually got it, but it cost him the life of his daughter, Raina.  Now, he said EF going clean.

After Raina was killed, we see how Ghost, Tommy and Tariq were in RARE form while seeking revenge on Ray Ray, the dirty undercover cop who killed Raina. Then, we were left with the biggest cliffhanger.

After wrapping up season 4 last night, showrunner Courtney Kemp chopped it up with Deadline to give fans a sneak peek into what season 5 will bring us.

While the details are vague, it sounds like fans will be in for several shocking moments in the upcoming season.

“That’s up to STARZ, but you know, I think I would like to make some really big moves. The plan is to make some huge moves and some huge cast changes in Season 5, for sure. So the show, at the very least, is going to transform into something slightly different as we go forward,” Courtney revealed to the site.

We all know no one is safe from getting killed on “Power” (y'all saw how they did the church's Father?!) and based on what Courtney has said, more lead characters may be taken out. However, a rekindled love may also be in the works (and it BETTER not be Jamie and Angela either).

“Look, no one’s been safe on our show for quite some time, but obviously, the main characters have had longer lives,” she said. “We are reaching the end of this journey, so the main characters are less safe than they have ever been before.” “So, of course, it can get worse, because no one’s been caught for anything yet. You know, there’s always another way that things can go badly on Power, but then also there might be some great joy and some great success. People might come out ahead. I don’t know. Maybe two of our characters are going to fall back in love. Who knows?”

Courtney also revealed the devastation she felt when the last three episodes leaked online.

“I was devastated — absolutely devastated, and really struggled with those feelings. Watching all these people who are fans of the show tweet, spoilers or put up images from the last three episodes, it was like having your house broken into, for me. Then having your TV stolen, and then going over to your neighbor’s house the next day and seeing him watch your TV.”

Damn.

But there's good news: They’re already working on Season 5. The first episode has already been turned in.

You can read the full interview here.

Meanwhile, the reaction memes to season 4’s finale episode has us in tears. Peep a few of them below:

When you're performing on the eve of your wife's birthday, you best take a moment to pause for the cause.  And salute.  That's exactly what Jay Z did last night at Made In America, and it was the sweetest thing ever.  See how he had the entire crowd of thousands serenading Beyoncé inside...

How sweet!

In the middle of Jay's headlining performance at his Budweiser Made in America fest last night, he told the crown his "beautiful Beyonce" was celebrating her birthday, and to sing Happy Birthday.  And that they did.

Beyonce, reppin' in a Houston Rockets bodysuit and a bright yellow parka for the rain, looked head over heels happy about it all.

We spy Michelle Williams and her boo too:

Chris Rock and actress girlfriend Megalyn Echikunwoke were spotted heading to their ride after running a few evening errands during the long weekend. The pair keep it extra casual as they left a Malibu market the other night.

Chris' Malibu home is a Balinese inspired, ridiculously swanky pad, which seems to be his escape from his $3M Brooklyn home he just put on the market back in May.  Must be nice...

'Emotional Wreck' Keke Wyatt Reveals Husband Michael Wants A Divorce

 photo screenshot-2016-10-27-14-11-17_zpsw56brxjn.png

KeKe Wyatt just revealed her husband Michael Jamar wants a divorce....and she is blasting him for the way he's going about it.  Details inside...

 

Singer KeKe Wyatt has been going through it lately – her 8th pregnancy (with her and her husband's 9th child), one of her children fighting cancer, and everything in between.

Now, she says her husband Michael Jamar wants a divorce -- and he's going around telling all her friends and family not to speak to her!

KeKe posted a video this morning saying she is "done" with Michael Jamar because he had the nerve to tell her he wants out....especially after all these kids!  Apparently, he said she's an emotional wreck that he can no longer deal with.  Hmmm...we're almost positive she's been the way she is since day 1.  And he married her and procreated with her anyway.

The couple went on "Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars" last year to get help for their tumultuous marriage.  Now, here we are.

 

Yesterday, she posted up video from a party and said she was going through a hard time:

 

Going thru a hard time. But look @iamkissielee got me chillin!!!

Sheesh.

Lil Wayne is out of the hospital.  His health update inside...

Just a couple days after reportedly being found unconscious in his Chicago hotel, Lil Wayne is out of the hospital.

Weezy, who is epileptic, apparently suffered multiple seizures right after performing back-to-back concerts Saturday night.  It was also before he was set to head out to Vegas to perform for Labor Day weekend. 

He was rushed to the hospital, and is now doing good enough to be released.

TMZ reports he will need two weeks to recover.  As for the cause of the seizures, they're saying...this time...it had nothing to do with the lean he's still been seen sipping on.

...the seizures that forced him into the hospital Sunday were due to a super busy schedule mixed with the fact he was getting NO sleep. We're told the attack had nothing to do with him frequently sipping lean.

Hmmm.

His daughter Reginae Carter told folks not to believe everything they hear, and that her dad is fine:

 

Welp, good to know.

If you haven't been watching the 2017 US Open, now's the time to get your life together and tune TF in.

Serena Williams just welcomed a baby girl, but her big sister Venus Williams is holding it down on the tennis court.

The 37-year-old pro is making history with two other black female American players, Sloane Stephens (24) and Madison Keys (22). All three advanced to the quarterfinal round of the US Open. And that’s the first time it's ever happened.

YAS!

She'll return to the court this evening to go head-to-head against Petra Kvitová of Czech Republic.

Sloane Stephens sprinkled her magic and defeated Elina Svitolina from the Ukraine.

She's making her amazing comeback after last year's major foot injury at the Olympics.

“It’s just really exciting. I’m really happy that none of us are playing each other in the quarterfinals,” Keys told the Los Angeles Times.“If there’s some all-American matchups in the rest of the tournament, I think that says really good things about women’s tennis.”

That #blackgirljoy tho....

She's currently battling Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia today on the courts.

Potential Royal Princess Meghan Markle Is On The Cover Of Vanity Fair Spilling Deets About 'Boyfriend' Prince Harry

Meghan Markle was waiting for the perfect time to finally talk about her whirlwind romance with Prince Harry.  And that perfect time comes in the form of the October 2017 cover of Vanity Fair.  Get it all inside...

They've been talked about for over a year now. But never have we heard Meghan herself speak about her royal bae Prince Harry....until now.  And no, we don't think it's a coincidence that the "Suits" star - who was barely known before this latest relationship - lands the cover of one of the most coveted fashion magazines while speaking up.

She's a fab chick though, so we're not mad at any of these strategic moves.

 photo Screen Shot 2017-09-05 at 4.13.00 PM_zps9xlwhhjw.png 

Meghan seems to have been in "princess training" for a while now -- changing her Instagram page to focus on charities, ending her lifestyle blog, never speaking about her relationship, possibly quitting acting, and rarely ever attending Hollywood events.  When she does speak, it's about charitable causes. 

Harry did make an official announcement last October -- after dating for a few months prior -- that they are a couple.  He did so to ask for privacy in the midst of Meghan and her family receiving death threats and racist remarks.

 photo Screen Shot 2017-09-05 at 4.09.36 PM_zpsfll9p3yd.png

As for why the couple has kept their relationship mostly under wraps -- outside of Royal protocol which says they cannot attend official public events together as a couple until there's an engagement --  it's because they want to keep it private.  But, Meghan says they're definitely in love, and definitely a couple.

‘We’re a couple. We’re in love. I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. ‘This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.’

Meghan did attend Pippa Middleton's wedding reception, which went down in complete secrecy.  And she's attended a few private functions.

 photo Screen Shot 2017-09-05 at 4.12.51 PM_zpsfo7krmpz.png

The 36-year-old called Prince Harry her "boyfriend," and revealed the pros and cons of having a real life prince charming:

'It has its challenges, and it comes in waves — some days it can feel more challenging than others. 'And right out of the gate it was surprising the way things changed. But I still have this support system all around me, and, of course, my boyfriend’s support.'

'I can tell you that at the end of the day I think it’s really simple. We’re two people who are really happy and in love.'

Meghan says she tries not to read stories about herself on social media and in the press, and the people close to her know she's still the same chick:

'The people who are close to me anchor me in knowing who I am. The rest is noise.' She added: 'Nothing about me changed. I’m still the same person that I am, and I’ve never defined myself by my relationship.'

We've seen them both jetset to visit each other across the world.  We hear Meghan has even brought her mother to Britain to meet the Royals and Harry has traveled to Canada and L.A. to visit Meghan at work and at home.

Terrell Owens & Derek Fisher Are Taking Their Talents To ‘DWTS’ + Bobby Brown Quits ‘DWTS’ Before It Starts & Says He Taught MJ How To Moonwalk

Terrell Owens and Derek Fisher are joining the new season of “Dancing With The Stars.” However, Bobby Brown quit before the show announced this year’s competitors. And he claims he taught Michael Jackson how to moonwalk. Deets inside…

Former NFL star Terrell Owens is ready to take his happy feet to “Dancing With The Stars.” From the end zone to the dance floor, the 43-year-old athlete is gunning after the Mirror Ball for the show’s 25th season. He has teamed up with Cheryl Burke and they’re looking to bring home the win.

"We [practiced] a few hours the other day," Cheryl said about their rehersals. "I have to say, he's got some rhythm. We gotta start from the beginning because he's never danced before."

"He's all about lights camera action," she added. "He's a performer, so I'm definitely going to use that to our advantage. As long as we do the work in the dance studio and really practice hard, then he can do whatever he likes on the dance floor. Not whatever... stick to the choreography."

The announcement came on “Good Morning America” this morning where TO said the competition would be a “challenge” for him.

"Just as she said yesterday, we got our first start at trying to learn some steps," TO explained. "So, that's the challenge," the former wide receiver admitted. "Rhythm is not the issue. It's really trying to incorporate everything that she's teaching. I'm just going to let her take the lead. I'm just going to follow. I'm learning pretty fast."

By the way, he said on "GMA" he's still open to joining an NFL team and he's been keeping up with his workouts.

We could definitely see him taking this one home.

Another former athlete will be putting on his dancing shoes…

Speaking of "DWTS"...

Singer Bobby Brown pulled out of "Dancing With The Stars" at the last minute reportedly due to contractual issues. Hmm..maybe they weren't paying enough for Bobby.  *shrugs*

Sooooo, Bobby Brown is also making claims that he’s the one who taught the late Michael Jackson how to moonwalk.

While chatting with “The Cipher,” the 48-year-old singer said he has been doing the moonwalk since he was a kid.

“I had a few moves that was just super. Plus, I was the first one in Orchard Park to do the moonwalk,” he said. “So, the moonwalk was one of my signature moves… I had brought it up from down South. It was something that just killed the game once I brought it up the East Coast.”

Bobby claims an unidentified man from Alabama showed him how to do the move before it was dubbed the moonwalk. The former New Edition member claims he was practiving the move in from of MJ and he just started doing it.

"We were popping, he was watching us pop. He saw me do the moonwalk,” Brown said, before revealing that Jackson asked him “What is that?” From there, Brown did the move again and Jackson “just started doing it.”

Interesting. Do you believe it?

NFL BITS: Ezekiel Elliot’s 6-Game Suspension Upheld, But He’s Playing First Game + Michael Bennett Accuses Las Vegas Police Of Mistreatment

Cowboys baller Ezekiel Elliott’s 6-game suspension is being upheld after his appeal hearing. However, he will suit up for the first game of the season. Meanwhile, Seahawks player Michael Bennett recounts how he was assaulted and wrongfully arrested by Las Vegas police. Get it all inside….

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot is not a happy camper.

Harold Henderson, the designated arbitrator in Elliott's appeal, has upheld his 6-game suspension after domestic violence claims from his ex-girlfriend Tiffany Thompson. Zeke was never found guilty, but the NFL claims he violated the league’s personal conduct policy.

 

But get this…

 

 

While his 6-game suspension is being upheld, Zeke will get to play in Sunday’s season opener against the New York Giants. It’s actually uncertain when Zeke will hit the field again after that because there are a few avenues he could take before the 6-games.

According to CBS News:

Before Henderson's ruling came down, Elliott sued the NFL, asking the Eastern District Court of Texas to overturn Henderson's ruling, claiming that there was a "league-orchestrated conspiracy by senior NFL executives ... to hide critical information." Elliott is also seeking a temporary restraining order against the NFL, which would prevent the NFL from enforcing Henderson's arbitration ruling. According to Pelissero, the judge will rule on the temporary restraining order by Friday.

If he's granted the TRO or an injunction at a later point, he'll be allowed to play while the matter gets resolved in court, though he could still be forced to serve his suspension at a later point -- like how Tom Brady was allowed to play during the entire 2015 season, but ultimately served his four-game suspension the following year. If he's not granted the TRO or an injunction, he'll serve his suspension after Week 1.

A ruling is expected by 5 p.m. Friday.

Zeke and his legal team plans to fight this for as long as it takes to get him back out on the field.

By the way, folks are shading Zeke's accuser Tiffany:

Sighs….

Another day, another black man being wrongfully accused, assaulted and arrested by police.

Seattle Seahawks player Michael Bennett was just trying to have a good time in las Vegas for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Connor McGregor fight. But, things when from bad to worst when Las Vegas cops wrongfully accused him of a crime. Apparently gun shots rang off and police swooped in on the NFL star.

The defensive end, who sits during the national anthem before games, claims police used excessive force while trying to arrest him for something he didn’t even do. As he recalled the event on Twitter, he said he felt “helpless” and “terrified” during the ordeal and that he’s considering filing a civil rights lawsuit.

Usher’s Accuser Apparently LIED About A Sex Tape + 50 Cent Inks New STARZ Deal After DRAGGING The Network On Social Media

Usher's accuser Quantasia Sharpton LIED about having a sex tape with Usher. Meanwhile, 50 Cent turned a social media dragging into a new deal with the STARZ network. Find out how he did it, plus the latest on Usher's accuser inside…

 photo usheraccuserlie.jpg

Quantasia Sharpton, the woman suing Usher for exposure of herpes, is messing her credibility even more after she was previously exposed for lying.

This chick did an interview with YouTuber Miss Jacob claiming she had a sex tape with Usher and that he was down for it.

"I actually have videos," she said. "I keep everything in my phone. I have 250, I think it's gigabytes or megabytes or whatever, of, um, what is it called? Storage. I keep everything in my phone. I don't delete nothing. People lie, but video don't."

Well, that was a lie. At least, that's what her legal team is saying.

Her attorney Lisa Bloom addressed it, but she didn’t call it a lie. She told TMZ it was a “misunderstanding.” In fact, there is NO sex tape. Doesn’t sound like a misunderstanding to us.

Good luck trying to convince a jury, girl.

50 Cent loves to stir up controversy on social media, but his latest antic nabbed him a new deal with STARZ, the network his highly popular show “Power” airs on.

Before the season 4 finale, the “Power” star and producers took to his Instagram to encourage his fans to CANCEL their subscriptions. He felt the network didn’t show his show the respect it deserved being it’s the highest rated program on the network.

“I don’t think the STARZ network realize your watching POWER because it’s my show,” he wrote in a post that he has now deleted. “So take STARZ out of your cable package after you see POWER tonight. Then they will understand I bet. #50centralbet."

There were rumors that STARZ accused Fif of leaking the episodes because he didn’t get his way.

Well, someone got on the phone and it resulted in Fif and the network working out a new deal. Which means, more “POWER.”

He posted:

 

 

Less of a wait for season 5? YES!!!

Fif also has three new shows coming to STARZ as well. He shared, "LOL yo this shit is unbelievable, I have 3 new shows coming on STARZ. BMF, Tomorrow Today, and I GOT AWAY. TICK, TICK BOOM. #50centralbet"

By the way, he also has a new show coming to BET called "50 Central":

Ciara's RIDICULOUSLY HOT Post-Baby Return Will Make You Want To Hit The Gym

Ciara is flossing her post-baby bod during her first red carpet appearance and on date night with her hubby Russell Wilson. And naturally, we’re jealous. Flicks of the MILFiest MILF inside…

 photo cp1.png

Look who's whipping back into shape!  And with curves in all the best places.

It’s been about four months since Ciara gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Sienna Princess and chick is ready to show off her post-pregnancy body progress. The singer and her husband welcomed baby Sienna Princess back in April, who joined big brother Future Wilburn.

It’s nice to see that CiCi is taking it slow and steady with losing her baby weight. She has been keeping her fans up-to-date on her fitness journey via Instagram. She recently shared the picture above of her from the back and as you can see, chick is back.  And is looking sexier than ever, TBH.

While a "post baby snap back" should never take priority over caring for your kid FIRST, there's no harm in doing something good for yourself as a mom in a healthy, non-urgent way.

Last night...

The “Body Party” singer made her first red carpet appearance at the Tom Ford runway fashion show during the first day of New York Fashion Week.

It goes without saying that she was wearing some Tom Ford threads to peep the show.

He added, “She’s great at being a mother. It’s really great. I guess it sort of makes her feel complete.”
