When Ciara hit the pink carpet at the 2019 Met Gala in NYC, chick shut ish ALL THE WAY DOWN. The hair, the abs, everything was perfection, including her face beat.

My #metgala2019 Breakdown Everybody knows how much I enjoy using @patmcgrathreal products! So the #MetGala is obviously the perfect occasion to show off some of my favorites! Of course, I work with the beautiful @ciara whose skin is freakin flawless! So I prepped the skin with #youthquake by @marcjacobsbeauty to enhance her radiant and glowing skin. For makeup, I featured the eyes and for me “Green is the new black” so I was over the moon when I first saw her #Dundas emerald green gown created by the uber talented @peter_dundas! It literally took my breath away! So I decided to feature emerald green in the makeup presentation. And what’s more exciting is @patmcgrathreal has the exact emerald green shimmer shadow called "Blitz Emerald” in her Mothership Sublime II PALETTE. I first layered the lid with the Xtreme Black Eye Pencil to create my shape then blended in the “Blitz Emerald” shadow and faded it out towards the hairline. To amp up the #metcamp vibe, I dabbed a bit of “Gigabyte” gold eyeshadow into the inner corners of the eyes for a glitzy finish! I lightly chiseled her face using rich warm bronzers around the perimeter and golden highlights on the high points of the face. This made her features popped off the grid! I got her “glow-up” on point with PML’s Sublime Skin Highlighting Trio in “Bronze Nectar”. I just love this product. It’s super pigmented! With the wrong lip color choice, you can completely ruin your entire look no matter how incredible everything else is. This is why I chose a warm muted color like PML’s “Lust Angeles” LuxeTrance Lipstick to compliment the bold green eyeshadow. To get this sultry retro lip I first contoured with the “Ground Control” lip pencil then blended in the “Lust Angeles” lipstick. Finally, I topped it off with “Nude Negligee” a scrumptious creamy gloss giving her the perfect pout! #yolismakeup Hair: @cesar4styles Press: @vogue Team: @crowdmgmt Team Ciara: @jorddberg @thenylc @hannai_me @jessicalabramson #ashleyacevedo #amandarudio

Yolanda did Ciara's makeup for her pre-Met Gala twerk session with Big Freedia as well:

 

We're still bowing down.  Yussss.

Lupita Nyong'o broke necks when she hit the carpet and we can thank her longtime hairstylist Vernon François for that. The gold hair pics in her high afro really stood out. He def comes up with some unique styles for the actress, and he totally delivered for the Met Gala. Here's where he pulled his inspiration from:

We stan!

Fab chicksJanelle Monae and Zoe Kravitz had their crowns done by hairstylist Nikki Nelms. Chick gave Janelle a long braid with 3D floating “Air kisses” and braided up Zoe in some straight backs:

 

 

 

 

3D hair art and cornrows at the Met!

Makeup artist Jessica Smalls served up "painted fruit" face glam for The Dirty Computer.

The face beat was FLAWLESS and meshed perfectly with Janelle's overall look.

She's Polished's Anjaneth (Angie) Aguirre did her thing on Janelle's nail art. Details, people! Janelle's whole dress was literally on her nails:

Can't forget the nails! Angie did that. 

Oscar winner Regina King served up royalty realness when she showed up at this year's Met Gala. Makeup artist Oslyn Holder worked her magic for the fierce face beat:

She didn't have to do much to make Regina beautiful as ever. 

Hairstylist Tiffany Lamb got the chance to work with Regina for the Met, and she was OVER the moon:

Nola Darling (played by DeWanda Wise) is back for another season, and sis is still struggling with her art career and love life. See the Season 2 trailer of Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" inside...

Almost two years later, Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" it set to make its return for the second season of the comedy series.

 photo shes1.jpg

Netflix just released the trailer for Season 2 of "She's Gotta Have It," the ongoing reboot series of Spike's 1986 breakout film. And Nola Darling is still trying to figure out this adulting ish.

This season, free-spirited freelance painter Nola is navigating newfound success where she has to decide if she'll remain true to her creative ideals, or give in to the corporate world, all while engaging in everything that NYC has to offer.

 photo shes2.jpg

Her journey of self-discovery helps transform the lives of those around her, including friend and sometimes lover Mars Blackmon (Anthony Ramos), who sets out to pursue his true passion of music as well as her inner circle of Opal (Ilfenesh Hadera), Greer Childs (Cleo Anthony), Jamie Overstreet (Lyriq Bent), Clorinda Bradford (Margot Bingham), Shemekka Epps (Chyna Layne) and Winnie Win (Fat Joe).

And just like that, "Power" is over! Season 6 will be the last and final season. However, there's a few things for fans to get excited about. More inside....

Noooooooo!

Our beloved "Power" is going off the air after Season 6! Yes, we're just as heartbroken as you. The STARZ drama series has become a staple to get us through every summer. And now, it's about to be over.

The show's executive producer 50 Cent and the cast, including Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, LaLa Anthony, Joseph Sikora, and Lela Loren, stopped by "Strahan and Sara" today to break the devastating news:

 

 

Fif also announced it on Instagram:

Breathe, guys! There's more...

"Power" Season 6 will premiere Sunday, August 25th on STARZ. The good news is, they extended the number of episodes, going from just 10-to-15 new episodes. So, at least we're getting a whole season and a half before the curtains close forever. At least, for "Chapter 1" of the series.

The season will close with "The Final Betrayal."

The cast arrived looking GOODT:

“We will follow some of your beloved ‘Power’ characters beyond the scope of the initial series,” said Courtney A. Kemp, “Power” Executive Producer. “But we will play with your expectations of which characters, where, and the master timeline of it all, creating a ‘Power’ universe as unpredictable as the original.”

 photo NaturiPower.jpg

 photo IMG_0874.jpg

Slay, Naturi!

Yep, spin-offs will be coming from the hit series, although the details about who's getting what are still under wraps. Fif said the show was able to create such complex and dynamic characters that there are a number of stories the show plans to tell as they continue to explore and expand the series. We're here for it.

LaLa Anthony looked pretty in pink:

 photo LaLaGMA2.jpg

“The last 5 seasons of ‘Power’ have been an incredible ride for me and all of our supportive fans. We are far from over and I am excited to bring you more from the ‘Power’ brand,” said Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, “Power” Executive Producer. “I am proud that I was able to put a lasting stamp on this chapter with my directorial debut in an episode that features one of the wildest scenes ever on the show.”

 photo LalaGMA.jpg

Season 6 will also feature the directorial debut of 50 Cent with episode 603 as well as the return of Emmy® award-winning director Anthony Hemingway (“The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story,” “Underground”), who helmed the first two episodes of the series when it debuted in 2014, to take the reins for the finale.

 photo IMG_0875.jpg

Here's a synopsis of the finale season:

“Power” Season 6 picks up with James “Ghost” St. Patrick seeking vengeance. His former drug partner and brother in arms must pay for the ultimate betrayal. Rocked to his core by the perfidiousness and cruelties of those he once called his family, Ghost devotes himself to one notion: Success is the best revenge, with all intentions of getting both. Ghost aims to get even with Tommy, get the Queens Child Project built to consecrate Raina’s legacy, and finally achieve a thriving legitimate lifestyle with no criminal strings attached. Ghost’s need to wrest satisfaction and happiness from this world by any means necessary – is the most dangerous he’s ever faced. As the Feds grow closer to convicting him, Ghost must remain vigilant toward those wanting to take him down for his past criminal enterprises.

Whew, chile. Ghost seeking revenge on Tommy? Will he ever be able to distance himself from the street life? And who else will they kill off this season?! We know SOMEBODY is going to die.

Let us gather ourselves before the season because y'all know the show is going to have us all in our feels, as it does ever season. We are readdddddyyyyy! You?!

Zendaya Gets GORGE For VOGUE! Both She & Photog Tyler Mitchell Went From The Met Gala To VOGUE's June '19 Issue

 photo zendayamet.jpg

After her Cinderella moment at the Met Gala, Zendaya takes over VOGUE magazine's June 2019 issue. And photorgrapher Tyler Mitchell was the one to capture all of the amazing editorials. Take a look inside...

 

 

Zendaya was the belle of the Met Ball as she and her longtime stylist Law Roach lit up the pink carpet for their Cinderella moment. Her stylist Law Roach was her Fairy Godfather and teamed up with Tommy Hilfiger to give her a Cinderella inspired gown.

 

Disney Queen, MET Queen, and now she's the VOGUE queen.

The 22-year-old graces the cover of VOGUE magazine's June 2019 and we're totally feeling the fresh face look. On the cover, her makeup is very minimal, so her natural beauty shines through. That smize though!

 

 

The cover and spread was shot by photographer Tyler Mitchell where the Spider-Man: Homecoming actress flexes in frocks by Marni, Olivier Theyskens, Marc Jacobs, Richard Quinn, Lorenzo Serafini, Loewe, and Paco Rabanne—each more romantic and refined than the next.

FUN FACT: Tyler Mitchell is the young photographer who captured Beyonce's historic VOGUE September 2018 issue. It made him the first black photographer to shoot a VOGUE cover.

He made his Met Gala debut this week:

 

In the cover story, Daya, who's set to star in a new HBO series Drake helped develop, "Euphoria", talks about using her platform to help diversify the world.

“Obviously, representation and inclusivity are always something that I want to see. There’s always work to be done. Sometimes there’s not space given to you—you have to create it. There can’t only be one of us, and sometimes you have to open the door and jam it open, so that others can come in, too. If there’s not a seat there, go create your own table!”

Facts.

In this social media driven world, even Zendaya searches her name on Twitter.

"Do I look my name up on Twitter? Yes… to stalk my fans,” she said. “It’s kind of funny because they think they can get away with saying certain things because they didn’t @ me. But I find them, and I say, ‘exposed.’”

When you think of Zendaya, one word that describes her is fearless. However, she said her role in "Euphoria" scared her.

“It’s a totally different thing than being the star of K.C. Undercover,” she says, referring to her final Disney project. “That first day on set, I was honest-to-God terrified.”

Ha. You can read her full profile here.

"Euphoria," also starring Storm Reid, premieres June 16th at 10PM on HBO.  She's also starring in Spiderman: Far From Home this Independence Day weekend.

Atlanta Studio With Offset Inside Gets Hit By Drive-By Shooting, Reportedly Jetted Before Cops Came

Somebody either has it out for Offset, or he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Regardless, he may want to protect his neck out here after the studio he was in was shot up in a drive-by shooting last night.  Deets inside.

 

Thankfully, Offset and others are OK.  At least it seems that way outide of one reported injury.

Last night around 9pm, rapper Offset was reportedly inside the Crossover Entertainment Group studio when the building was hit by a drive-by shooting.  TMZ reports witnesses confirm the Migos rapper was definitely there when shots rang out, but he allegedly jetted before police arrived.  

According to Atlanta PD ... shots were fired at the building a little after 9 PM by passengers in the passing car. The bullets damaged 3 vehicles, as well as the building's exterior and at least one apartment window.

Cops received one report of someone getting shot in the leg, but officers were unable to locate a victim.

Our sources say the drive-by went down shortly after Offset went outside to chill for a few minutes. When the gunshots rang out, we're told people inside the studio rushed into another room for cover until things calmed down.

It's unclear if anyone was targeted, but it's surely a scary situation.  The site claims this is surveillance video taken from the shooting:

 

 

And the aftermath:

Cardi B sure knows how to put on an entertaining show. While she's naturally entertaining, we see she's leveling up with her stage presence.

For the launch of her newest Fashion Nova collection, the "Money" rapper took it up a notch with her performance to celebrate her 2nd fashion line at The Hollywood Palladium last night. This is her 2nd collection with the brand.

Decked out in a neon green ensemble from her line, Bardi was acting all the way up on stage, bending her body, pouring water all over herself, and, of course, twerking.

Rappers Lil Nas X and Blueface joined her on stage to turn up for the crowd. Lil Nas X had the crowd hype with his country trap track "Old Town Road." Meanwhile, Blueface had everyone dancing off beat for his "Thotiana" remix that features Bardi.

 

 

Rapper YG linked up with Bardi backstage:

Before hitting the stage, the award winning raptress hit the carpet in a "less slutty" ensemble from her collection. Her words, not ours.

Right before her Fashion Nova party last year, she hoped on IG Live complaining how she wanted to GAIN weight because she wanted her curves back.

"I've been very depressed because I cannot stop losing weight," she said. "And it's so crazy because when I first gave birth, I did everything to lose my baby weight. I was drinking Teami [tea] so it could curb my appetite and now that I lost all the baby weight...I don't like looking too skinny."

"I used to look too skinny as a teenager and I used to hate it and I hate it now," she said. "It's been really depressing me, making me sad. My weight. You know what I'm saying."

 photo FashionNovaPresentsPartyCardiArrivalstA-dqLAvS1ml.jpg

At this year's event, Bardi opened up about getting liposuction.

"I want to explain to people how hard it is to process. I feel like people look at girls on Instagram and go, 'Oh, they got their lipo done and it was so easy,"' she told ET. "It is just such a long, hard process, almost like the same process as after you give birth to a baby and you see your body change and snapping it back."

There you have it.

WATCH: Ciara's Emotional 'Beauty Marks' Video Gives An Intimate Look At Sienna's Birth, Wedding To Russell

Ciara just dropped the perfect video just in time for Mother's Day weekend.  The MILF-y mom of two gives us an intimate peek into the birth of little Sienna and her marriage with Russell Wilson. Watch "Beauty Marks" inside.

She's fully independent now, and CiCi just dropped her first album today, Beauty Marks, off her Beauty Marks, Ent. label.  It's her 7th album of her career. After going Gold with "Level Up" and dropping "Thinkin' Bout U," the Met Gala Queen serves up an super emotional video for her "Beauty Marks" track.

She revealed the relatable explanation about Beauty Marks:

“My mantra throughout the process of recording this album was about reminding myself that the scars you get from going through life are actually your beauty marks. Adversity ends up giving you wisdom and character, and persevering through all those challenges makes you so much stronger,” said Ciara. “This album is about celebrating the journey that leads you to those Beauty Mark moments.”

In the super emotional 6+ minute video for the title track, Ci takes us inside the delivery room when Sienna was born just two years ago (ish got real we see). We see the cute first moments little Future Zahir meets his baby sister.  She also gives us never-before-seen home footage from her wedding ceremony to Russell in 2016, taking us right up to the altar with the couple.

Ciara says it’s not only a celebration of finding your true love and the journey of motherhood, it’s also a song filled with hope and a reminder that all the obstacles that you may face in life can seem like scars but in the end they truly become your Beauty Marks.

Watch below for the family cuteness and some epic black love:

Ugh.  Now we need a tub of ice cream to cry into. 

Did you love it?!

 

BONUS: This promo pic she dropped right before dropping the album also has us crying in our ice cream:

Baby makes 6!  As if the West household wasn't already spilling over with personality (with like, 90% of that coming from queen North), Kanye West& Kim Kardashian just welcomed their fourth child.  Deets on their new baby boy inside.

Kanye & Kim's surrogate just delivered the couple's fourth baby, a boy who looks just like his 1-year-old big sister Chicago West, this according to his mama.

Just hours after Kourtney Kardashian revealed on "Ellen" that the surrogate was in labor, Kim tweeted:

Sweet.

The Wests are going to have a lot on their plate, but an endless amount of hired help and help from aunties and grandparents too, we're sure. 

Baby's joining plenty of siblings, fashionista North is 5 and cutie Saint is 3. A house full of kids under 6?  Whew chillay.  Good luck with that. 

Something tells us they'll find a way to manage juggling Kanye's rap career, his alleged political career, Kim pursuing the California Bar and her "activism" in getting improperly jailed people out of prison.

Congrats to the couple on expanding the fam! What's your guess for the new baby's name? (Somebody said it will be "Illinois" and we cackling in unsurprised.)

Russell Wilson wins Mother's Day! He copped his mom a new home to celebrate and she totally lost it. See the heartwarming clip, plus Daddy Russ talk baby #3 with Ciara inside...

Russell Wilson gets the son (husband, dad, etc.) of the year award for sure! The Seattle Seahawks quarterback - who is the highest paid player in the NFL - gifted his mom, Tammy Wilson, a whole house for Mother's Day. And she could hardly believe it.

The NFLer - along with his wife Ciara, 2-year-old daughter Sienna, and other family members - walked up to home with his mother and he casually handed her the keys to her new pad.

"The key to your house," he told her. "It's the key to your house. It's your house, open the door."

"You're lying!," she responded. "Are you serious?!?!," she started screaming. “No, are you serious? For real?… That’s not funny! No, no, no y’all lying!” She couldn't believe it and was in total shock. Mama Wilson kept asking everyone was he serious and then she said, "I'm going to pee on myself!"

Aww! Ciara and the Wilson's camp were there in the background with the "awws" as they watched her accept the keys to her new home.

"All these years you have never asked me for anything... only thing you ever wanted is for me to LOVE," Russell captioned on Instagram. "Well thanks for loving us the way you do. This ones for you. I love you momma. #HappyMothersDay #GodIsGood"

Russell Wilson's father Harrison Wilson passed away in 2010.

CiCi responded in the comments, "What a beautiful day and moments. Tears of Joy! The perfect Mother’s Day. God you’re a good good father.”

Watch the touching moment below:

 

Loves it!

Also....

Chile, Russ has us clutching pearls and other things and he isn't even talking to us! LOL

On Mother's Day, Russell posted a video of his bomb wife on his IG, showering her with words about how she's so amazing. Then, he tried his hand at convincing her to make baby #3! Ha! Peep the clip above.

"The Greatest Love" singer also paid tribute to her mother and grandmother on Mother's Day:

 

 

 

Also, Daddy Russ and the kids surprised CiCi with a Mother's Day tribute during her appearance on "The View":

 

 

 

Right before Mother's Day, Ciara dropped her new album, Beauty Marks.

 

 

The 33-year-old singer also dropped a super emotional video for "Beauty Marks" where she gives her fans an intimate peek into the birth of little Sienna and her marriage with Russell Wilson. You can check it out HERE in case you missed.

 

 

To celebrate, Russell threw Ciara a surprise album release party in Seattle. Their kids, Sienna Wilson and Future Wilburn, were also in the mix to turn up with their mommy:

A day before the holiday, their mother Peggy Lipton, reportedly passed away at the age of 72 after battling cancer. The Golden Globe winning actress' daughter released a statement to the Los Angeles Times, revealing their mother had died.

“She made her journey peacefully with her daughters and nieces by her side,” Lipton’s daughters said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “We feel so lucky for every moment we spent with her.”

Peggy Lipton was born on August 30, 1947 in New York. She started modeling at 15 and by 19, she made her TV debut on the sitcom “The John Forsythe Show." She went on to star in shows like “Bewitched,” “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour” and “The Virginian.”

Peggy then went out to play an undercover police officer in "Mod Squad," which ran from 1968 to 1973, and that's when her star power grew. Her role as Julie Barnes on "Mod Squad" earned her four Golden Globe nominations and one win for Best TV Actress in a drama. She broke barriers working side-by-side with Clarence Williams III in one of the first shows with an interracial cast.  She also starred as Norma Jennings on the television series "Twin Peaks."

Legendary music producer Quincy Jones was married to Peggy from 1974 to 1990. The couple share daughters Kidada Jones and Rashida Jones, who is known for her roles on the comedy series "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation." Rashida also produced and directed Grammy-winning 2018 documentary, "Quincy."

"Peggy was, and will always be our beacon of light, both in this world and beyond. She will always be a part of us," the daughters shared.

Lil Nas X Meets Kanye West & North West Was Totally Over It + 'Old Town Road' Tops Billboard Charts For Sixth Week, Knocks Taylor Swift From No. 1

Lil Nas X ran into Kanye West and his daughter North West, but she wasn't feeling it. See their photo-op, plus get deets on Lil Nas X pushing Taylor Swift from the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts inside....

Lil Nas X is blowing up!

The 19-year-old has gone from an aspiring rapper/social media influencer living in Atlanta, to taking over the nation with his catchy hit, "Old Town Road," featuring country vet Billy Ray Cyrus. His newfound fame is taking him places he has never been before and rubbing elbows with A-listers. And that's even iff the country wolrd isn't trying to give him his due.  We didn't forget they scratched his name from his own song on all the billboards around Nashville and credited Billy Ray Cyrus - who hopped on it as a feature - with everything.

Last week, Lil Nas X was invited to Kanye West's Sunday Service. After service, he nabbed a photo-op with Yeezy, but he forgot to get the shot sent to his phone. So, what does he do? He tweets to Ye's wife Kim Kardashian West to send him the picture they took. And it worked.

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the look on Nori's face let's us know how she felt about the encounter. Nas X said the 5-year-old wasn't feeling him at all:

 

 

Ha!

Since his Kanye encounter, Lil Nas X has been snapping it up with everybody during the Rolling Loud Festival (where he performed), including rapper DMX and the Clermont Twins:

 

 

 

 

Last week, Lil Nas X popped up as a special guest at Cardi B's Fashion Nova collection launch in LA.

Not only is he doing it up at performances, he's also making waves on the music charts.

 

 

Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" remains at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 list for the 6th consecutive week. "Old Town Road" was already at the top spot when Taylor Swift dropped her new single "Me!" And guess what? She was unable to take the crown when her track made it on the Billboard 100. "Me!" first charted at No. 98 on the Hot 100 during its first week based on just three days of airplay, according to Billboard reports. But, its first week of streaming and sales launched it to the No. 2 spot. Better luck next time, Taylor.

So, can fans expect new music from the country trap rapper anytime soon?

 

 

Oop.

 

 

 

Congrats, Lil Nas X!

WTF Was Going On At Rolling Loud Festival?! Lil Wayne Cancels Show + NBA Youngboy Reportedly Shot At, Girlfriend Injured + NBA Baller Josh Jackson Arrested

A whole lot off foolywang popped off in Miami over the weekend during the 2019 Rolling Loud Festival. Get it all inside...

Miami was NOT the place to be this past weekend. All types of drama popped off, leaving one man dead, a few others injured, an arrest and more.

Ish first popped off when rapper Kodak Black was reportedly arrested at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens during the 2019 Rolling Loud festival on state and federal firearms charges. ATF, Miami-Dade Police Northside Gang Unit, and US Marshals were reportedly involved in the arrest.

Right after, Lil Wayne decided to pull out from performing at the festival. The reason? He didn't want to get searched by the festival police. He said he wasn't about to be subjected to a search to simply do his job. Peep his tweets below:

Hmmm...IF Wayne had something illegal on him, why not just give it to someone else to hold while he performs? Sounds like he didn't want to get arrested like Kodak did.

In other drama...

 photo nbayoungboyshooting.jpg

Rapper NBA Youngboy was reportedly shot at in Miami on Sunday at the Trump Beach Reort hotel, leaving one man dead and one woman injured. Details about the shooting are trickling in and local news stations claim the shooting stemmed from a violent altercation between NBA Youngboy and rapper Tee Grizzley's entourages.

Both rappers were scheduled to hit that Rolling Loud stage. Although Youngboy and Grizzley collaborated on the track "Hard Body," they apparently had a falling out over money.

The slain victim was reportedly an innocent bystander. 43-year-old Mohammad Jradi was working at a Hertz Rental Car on Collins Avenue when he was fatally struck in the head by a stray bullet. Tragic. 

 

 

The 19-year-old woman who was injured has been identified as NBA Youngboy's girlfriend named Kay Marie. She reportedly suffered a gun shot wound to the arm and is currently in stable condition. TMZ now has footage of her post-shooting and NBA Youngboy rushing to her side, then rushing her to a car before police stopped them.  She was then transferred into an ambulance.

 

 

Today, Tee Grizzley posted a picture from his Rolling Loud performance with the caption, "I told @rollingloud I’m not performing if I can’t bring my gun in"

 photo teegrizzley.jpg

 

SMH!

Youngboy hopped on Instagram today too, posting a picture of himself with the caption, "I had forgot to pray moments before,it was counted for though. #TOP"

 

Back in February, Youngboy was arrested for possession of marijuana and for allegedly having his female friend - Starr Thigpen - beat up a hotel maid. Get those deets HERE.

 

Police are also investigating another shooting that took the life of a Chicago rapper. Rapper AAB Hellabandz was shot and killed outside of a Miami Beach nightclub on Saturday, according to CBS Miami. Hellabandz was one of two victims shot outside the Cameo nightclub around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. The other man is currently in stable condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and expected to survive. Rapper Lil Durk hopped on Twitter to mourn the loss of his friend.

 

 

So sad and unnecessary.

More foolywang material...

Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson was doing the absolute most in Miami over the weekend.

The 22-year-old NBA player was arrested for allegedly refusing to leave a VIP area at the Rolling Loud Festival. He was charged with felony escape and resisting arrest after a bizarre incident.

According to reports, Jackson was asked to leave a VIP area since he didn't have a pass. He allegedly left the area, returned, and then refused to leave. Soon after, a police officer came over to desculate the situation. He was reportedly told to sit on a golf cart, but ran off when the officer wasn't looking. Lordt. Not long after, he was loacted and taken to jail. This guy....

Jackson was released on $1,000 bail Saturday. His next hearing is June 10th. He wildin' out during the NBA offseason.

As for celebs who kept it drama free:

CAN YOU RELATE? Meagan Good Says She Doesn't Go To Church Because Critical Christians Be Doing The Most

Meagan Good is a devout Christian, however, she doesn't like attending church. Find out why inside...

One thing about Meagan Good, she isn't afraid to speak out about her love for the Lord. She's a devout Christian and she lets that be known when she's doing interviews and making press appearances. While she loves the Lord, she admits she doesn't attend church that much. The reason? Critical Christians!

The 37-year-old actress chopped it up with comedian D.L. Hughley on his radio show while promoting her new thriller titled, The Intruder. The topic of discussion was how her husband DeVon Franklin - a Seventh-day Adventist preacher/film executive/author - doesn't interfere with her love scenes. In The Intruder, she's married to Michael Ealy and they share some sex scenes together. She said her husband knew who she was before he married her, so he encourages her to make the scene as authentic as she can.

"The great thing about him [husband Devon Franklin], is like, he wasn’t looking to change me in marriage. He knew who I was before marriage," she shared.

 photo meaganchurch2.jpg

D.L. Hughley asked her if she attends church with her husband and she explained why she doesn't go as much.

"I do. Not all the time though, because if I’m being completely honest, my experience with some church folks has not been that positive. It’s unfortunate because we’re supposed to be the biggest lovers. And it’s like, even if you disagree with someone or you don’t think what they’re doing is right, you’re supposed to mind your own business and pray for that person. Other times, you’re supposed to correct in love if that’s what God told you to do. And there was no correction in love. It was like a complete assault."

Church folks like to drag Meagan on social media whenever she hits the carpet in a risqué ensemble (or what the church would deem risqué).

"There have been a few of them. I’m waiting on the timeline — “I can’t believe she did this sex scene. She’s a married woman.” At the end of the day, for me, I still love Christians. I will always love the church. I love my Lord and Savior, period point blank. That’s first and foremost over everything. But even though I love some of those people, I have to love them from a distance because my spirit is too sensitive. And even though I’ve gotten to a place of balance, I’m the type of person, if I see someone crying, I’ll start crying. I’m extremely sensitive so I have to protect my spirit because those people don’t always know what they’re doing."

You have to protect your peace, chile.

Wendy Williams Finally Addresses Her HOT TOPIC Head On - Says She Dates OFTEN & Reveals Mystery Man She Was Spotted With

Wendy Williams is out here dippin' it and doin' it now that she's an almost single woman. She says she dates often and the "parade of men" will continue as she's rediscovering her love of men. Oh? Get it all inside...

Wendy Williams is reclaiming her time and life!

Today, the 54-year-old daytime talk show host addressed her divorce from her husband Kevin Hunter head on for the first time. Since news broke that she was calling it quits with Kevin after she filed for divorce in April, Wendy sort of danced around details about her pending divorce. She hadn't fully addressed the situation, until now.

Over the weekend, pics and videos of Wendy and a mystery guy attending the Fierce Ball on Saturday night in NYC were floating around on social media. The man looked a lot like her "type," i.e. her soon-to-be ex. People questioned if she was out and about with Kevin. Turns out, she was with her security detail - a bodyguard named Web.

 

 

One fan called Wendy out for being on her phone during the entire event, even when Naomi Campbell hit the runway:

 

 

Lordt.

After she confirmed who she was with, Wendy opened up about her divorce.

"I am working on my divorce pleasantly right now," she told the audience.

She said she can't really ask for privacy from the public because she's always in everyone else's business when ish hits the fan. Right now, her son, Kevin Jr., is home from college and he's splitting his time between her and her ex. If you've been keeping up with Wendy, then you know she has been hitting up events left and right in NYC recently. She said she's been out on the scene because she likes to have fun. And now that she's a "mature, almost single woman," she can do that.

With all her newfound freedom, Wendy has also been heavy on the dating scene. She went on to say that several of her male employees have been to her new "bachelorette pad" in NYC and the parade of men will continue until she's settled in.

"I have the ultimate bachelorette pad, high atop everything. I have a really, really good view and I am reclaiming my life. I don't have a boyfriend, but I must admit, I'm rediscovering my love of men. And transparency, I do date and I date pretty often."

“The parade of males will proceed as a result of I would like issues lifted, put in place,” she joked. “I’m nonetheless unpacking containers for God’s sakes. That’s all I’m saying.”

GET. IT. We're SO not mad at this.

Peep the clip below: 

 

 

Chick is getting her groove back after her ex allegedly cheated on her for over a decade and allegedly had a baby with his alleged mistress, Sherina Hudson. By the way, Kevin is seeking spousal and child support (even though their son is 18) from Wendy. The audacity.

 

We see how you doin', Wendy!

R. Kelly's Daughter Can't Go Back To College Because He Stopped Paying Tuition + Kelly's Ex-Andrea Kelly Receives $62K In Back Child Support

R. Kelly's daughter Joann Kelly can no longer attend college since Kelly stopped paying tuition. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Andrea Kelly just received $62,000 in back child support. More inside...

Looks like R. Kelly's daughter Joann Kelly has come to a crossroad in her college career. The daughter of the Grammy Award winning artist claims she can no longer attend college because her pops stopped paying tuition.

Joann Kelly, aka Buka Abi, was reportedly attending an art school in California up until last fall. When she tried to enroll in classes for the next semester, she was denied because her tuition hadn't been paid.

According to TMZ, Kelly was ordered to pay for Joann's college tuition until she turns 23, but she claims he cut her off and since the bill is unpaid, she was forced to drop out. It's alleged he also stopped paying for the apartment she was living in while enrolled in school. She eventually had to move out and pay for her own books since he stopped paying for those as well.

Kelly's camp is singing a different tune. They claim Kelly didn't know she was enrolled because she didn't send him the paperwork to prove she was still in school. Since he supposedly didn't know, he didn't pay. The site reports:

Kelly's Crisis Manager, Darrell Johnson, tells us ... Kelly's requirement to pay for her education is predicated on him receiving billing statements and proof of expenses ... and he claims he never got them.

Kelly allegedly believed Joann chose to drop out of school and that's why he stopped getting bills. Johnson says Drea never produced any documentation or proof that Joann got kicked out of school either.

Our sources say Joann wants to return to college and will be seeking financial support from her father. Whether or not he's got the money is another story.

Yikes.

While Joann figures out how she's going to attend school again, her mom scored a mini victory in court recently.

 photo dreakellysupport.jpg

The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer reportedly handed Andrea Kelly a cashier's check for more than $62,000 to cover back child support. Kelly made the payment during his court hearing last week.

The $62,499.70 check covers the months of March, April and May for the three children he shares with Andrea Kelly, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

He still reportedly owes an additional $32,000 in interest on child support, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. During the hearing, Kelly learned Andrea Kelly is requesting extra funds to cover one of their child’s secondary education expenses, likely Joann's college tuition.

“This is a victory for my children,” Drea Kelly told reporters after the hearing. “I will fight for my children till the end.”

He's still ordered to pay Drea Kelly $20,000/month in child support.

Kelly's relationship with his daughter Joann is nothing short of strained. Amid the "Surviving R. Kelly" controversy, Joann spoke out, calling her dad a "monster." Not long after that, Kelly hopped on social media and posted a video of himself singing "Happy Birthday" for her 21st birthday.

By the way, Andrea Kelly and her kids will be starring on the upcoming season of "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta."

Nipsey Hussle's Daughter's Mom Speaks Out Before Appearing In Court For Custody & Child Support + DCFS Involved In Daughter's Placement

Nipsey Hussle's daughter's mom Tanisha Foster hopped on social media before heading to court for custody and child support of her daughter, Emani Asghedom. Find out what she said, plus deets on the Department of Children and Family Services getting involved inside...

 

The battle over Nispey Hussle's 10-year-old daughter Emani Asghedom has started. And it's getting ugly.

Today, Nispey's daughter's mom, Tanisha Foster, made her way to court fight against the late rapper's family over custody of Emani.

According to The Blast, she appeared in court today in Los Angeles to let them know she wants to see her daughter. It's unclear if she has or hasn't seen Emani since Nispey passed. It's reported Tanisha and Nispey had joint custody of Emani before he was murdered. The court judgement was made years ago when she entered into a custody order with the Victory Lap rapper.

Not only is Tanisha fighting for custody, she's also reportedly filing for child support and wants the money to come from Nipsey's estate.

Before making her way inside, Tanisha hopped on Instagram with a message.

 photo nipseyCPS2.jpg

“Love my kids I’ll always rise to the occasion for them," she captioned a picture of herself.

 

 

Tanisha and Nipsey's family are at odds over who should have custody over Emani. You'll recall, Nipsey's sister, Samantha Smith, filed for temporary guardianship over Emani last month. It's reported she filed the motion because she and Nispey's family feel like Tanisha is unable to care for Emani. In Samantha's filing, she said she didn't want Tanisha to be notified of the move. Samantha had support from her brother Blacc Sam, along with his father Dawit Asghedom. They both signed off on documents that Emani should be given to Samantha. However, the judge wasn't feeling it and denied the request.

Before today's hearing, it was reported that Department of Children and Family Services would be involved in the court hearing. DCFS officials are looking into the case to find out the most beneficial placement for Emani to be sure she's in a safe and stimulating environment.

The Grammy nominated rapper reportedly did not have a will in place when he died. His brother Blacc Sam (real name Samiel Asghedom) recently filed a petition to become the administrator of Nipsey's $2 million estate. Blacc Sam revealed there has been an influx of business opportunities in the month following Nipsey's murder; and he wants to ensure those offers are pursued in a timely and proper manner.
