Let us find out!

Looks like Nick Cannon and Jessica White may want that old thing back.

The exes - who dated in 2015 - were spotted together over the weekend in Washington, D.C. They were headed inside the Kennedy Center where Nick was tapped to host the DC Jazz Festival. This explains why he wasn't at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards - where he won the Best Host Award.

It's unclear if the two are officially dating, but Jess has def been fueling the dating rumors. Back in October, she posted a birthday tribute to the "Wild 'N Out" honcho and said she loved him:

Oddly enough, she deleted that post.

However, she has been posting Nick up on her account with cute captions:

 

Just a few days ago, she posted this:

 

Mmhmm...We'll be keeping it an eye out on these two.

The YBF model chick is already back in NYC, days before she celebrates her birthday:

We wonder what Nick has cooked up for her...IF they're back dating again.

By the way, Nick's new radio show “Nick Cannon Mornings" just launched on Power 106 yesterday morning. The radio show will air daily from 5AM to 10AM.

He sure knows how to keep a bag secured.

As for an official couple...

The Elbas are still basking in their newlywed glow and soaking up every minute they get together.

After a multi-day Marrekesh wedding this past April, working the carpet together at the Met Ball, and slaying British VOGUE, the newlyweds jetted off for some quality time together in Ibiza recently. 

The madly in love couple jetted to the island to celebrate Sabrina's birthday.

Chris Brown who?

Karrueche and her boyfriend Victor Cruz have been too busy hitting up fashion shows during Men Milan Fashion Week in Milan, they didn't have time to respond to Breezy's recent social media antics.

In case you missed, Kae's ex-boyfriend hopped on social media and tried to clown the former NFL player about the way he was dressed. As expected, fans began to drag him for being problematic while the "Claws" star is living her life with her new love.

Hours later, the "Wobble" singer hopped back on social media with claims that his account was hacked. OK, Chris.

Kae and Vic haven't missed a beat though. They've been rolling through fashion shows, looking like a well-dressed power couple.

The Obamas are living it up on vacay!

Former President Barack Obama was seen arriving at the Palais des Papes in Avignon with his family for a much-needed family vacay. It's the first vacation since 18-year-old Sasha Obama graduated from high school.

The Obama girls took a stroll through a market in a little french village, flexing their casual chic style a few days ago.

Several More Tourists Have Died Or Gotten Severely Sick AT Dominican Repiblic Resorts, But Steve Harvey Is Still Set To Host Event At One Of Them

Steve Harvey is receiving backlash over a hosting event that's scheduled to go down in the Dominican Republic amid all the news about tourists unexpectedly dying there. More inside...

Steve Harvey - one of Hollywood's most hardest working acts - is catching heat over a hosting gig set to go down in the Dominican Republic.

The "Family Feud" host is reportedly set to host the third annual Soul & Sand Festival, which scheduled for October 10-14th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana.

Recently, there have been numerous reports about tourists DYING in the D.R. It's reported that nine people have died at D.R. resorts in the past 12 months, including two people who died at the same resort Steve is set to host at in a few months. Eight people have died at D.R. resorts just this year alone.

A California man - 67-year-old Bell Wallace - reportedly died on April 14th after he became ill after drinking a scotch from his room’s minibar. Last July, 45-year-old Maryland native David Harrison died at the resort from a reported heart attack and pulmonary edema.

Also in April, a group from Oklahoma became violently ill, suffering from diarrhea, vomiting, and other pretty serious ailments. They were staying at the Hotel Riu Palace Macao in Punta Cana and they were there to attend a Jimmy Buffett concert. It's unclear what made the group sick, however, a member of the group Dana Flowers told PEOPLE:

Flowers says the group initially chalked the mystery ailment up to food poisoning, but their symptoms began to worsen. Flowers, who was among those affected by the illness, claims he lost 14 pounds over the course of 19 days. “It was some of the worst sick I’ve ever been, and I don’t normally ever get sick,” he says.

Flowers claims that everyone who grew ill in his group either swam in one specific pool or drank at the swim-up bar. When members of the group sought treatment from the on-site doctor, Flowers claims, ”Most of them got an IV, then were prescribed a medicine for parasites. [They] didn’t do any testing, they just automatically gave them medicine for parasites.”

 

On May 30th, a Maryland couple - 63-year-old Edward Nathaniel Holmes and 49-year-old Cynthia Ann Day from Prince George County - were found dead inside their hotel room at the Playa Nueva Romana resort in San Pedro de Macorís. Officials claim they both died from respiratory failure.

Just a few days ago, a State Department official confirmed the death of another American tourist in the Dominican Republic last week. 55-year-old Joseph Allen of Avenel, NJ was found dead in his hotel room at Terra Linda in Sosua on the morning of June 13th, his sister confirmed to ABC. Friens said Allen complained about being hot while at the pool and then said he was going to his room to take a shower. He still wasn't feeling well, so he went to lay down for the night. The next morning, Allen's friends went to check on him and they found him dead on the floor.

This is insane and also very scary. Steve Harvey hasn't addressed the gig and his reps said they wouldn't address if the situation has impacted ticket sales, but now that folks are talking about his event in the D.R., we wouldn't be surprised if he backs out.

Oop! Bill Cosby's 'Happy Father's Day' Post Wasn't Received Well, Reportedly Gave Fatherhood Lessons In Prison

Bill Cosby posted a Happy Father's Day message from prison, but he did not get the reception he likely was expecting. See his message, plus deets on him reportedly serving up fatherhood lessons in prison inside...

Now sir....

Bill Cosby decided to send out a Happy Father's Day message to all the fathers out there. But, it didn't go over well on social media.

As we all know, the "Cosby" creator is currently serving time in federal prison after he was found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home in 2004. This year, he decided he would send a Father's Day message via social media to the masses.

"Hey, Hey, Hey...It’s America’s Dad...I know it’s late, but to all of the Dads... It’s an honor to be called a Father," the post reads, "so let’s make today a renewed oath to fulfilling our purpose — strengthening our families and communities," Cosby wrote alongside a throwback video of him talking about slavery and racism.

Check it:

 

 

It didn't take long before folks started sounding off:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welp, folks still aren't here for America's FORMER Dad.

What's even more interesting is that Mr. Cosby is reportedly teaching fatherhood lessons to the other inmates at SCI Phoenix, the maximum security prison about 20 miles from Philadelphia.

Over the last three months, Cosby has been working with a group called "Man Up." The program was created to help inmates set for parole to receive life lessons that will help them adjust into society. It's reported Cosby gives four lectures a week to about 100 inmates. In the classes, he lectures the men to "lead by example," gives them tips on how to stay clean and interviewing techniques.

“Mr. Cosby, roughly three months ago, had been requested by a number of inmates to come and speak at some of their support groups, and he debated about it and decided to take them up on their offer,” Cosby's lawyer Andrew Wyatt told USA Today. “One group that he consistently speaks to is a group called ‘Man Up.’ These are guys that are going to be paroled in a few months, and he is talking to these guys because a lot of them have been in prison… and they are afraid of going back to (their) communities. “They viewed him as their father figure. To them, he is America’s dad,” Wyatt added.

Very interesting, to say the least. His lawyer also said Cosby has lost weight and looks "amazing."

Porsha 'I Have Nothing To Hide' Williams Vacays With Baby Pilar, Sans Fiance Dennis + Fans Call Out Porsha's Dry Father's Day Post

Porsha Williams and fiancé Dennis McKinley are moving funny and fans are noticing. Have they broken up? They're acting like it. More inside...

There have been rumors that "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams and her fiancé Dennis McKinley have broken up, but neither of them have confirmed the news. However, the way the new mom is moving has folks wondering, what's really good?

The 37-year-old packed her things and took her daughter Pilar Jhena McKinley to the newly opened Costa Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, along with her sister and mother for some fun in the sun. Notably missing was her fiancé, Dennis McKinley.

Stepping out #BougieBaby

A post shared by Pilar (@pilarjhena) on

A source on the scene dished a few details to US Magazine:

“The new mom met up with a group of friends and family including her mother Diane [T. Williams], sister Lauren [Williams] and new baby, Pilar, for her first vacation since giving birth,” an eyewitness at the property told Us Weekly. “Porsha was spotted eating with her family at the resort’s rooftop pool lounge Cielo and cuddling her adorable three-month-old daughter at the pool.”

The source noted that “there were no sightings of Pilar’s father, and Porsha’s fiancé Dennis McKinley.”

If you haven't heard, YouTube star Taska K accused McKinley of cheating on Porsha wil "WAGS Atlanta" star Sincerely Ward. She also made dometic violence and substance abuse allegations. McKinley quickly denied all of those accusations and he's reportedly seeking legal action against the YouTuber. Sincerely Ward has also spoken out, denying she ever slept with McKinley.

As rumors continue to make rounds on the Internet, Porsha is seemingly trying to keep the peace. At least, online.

The "RHOA" star did post a Father's Day message to the Hot Dog Honcho, however, fans noticed how dry her caption was and believe it's confirmation that Porsha and Dennis are done for real. Her caption was real friendly-like, not romantic like a soon-to-be wife would be writing to her soon-to-be husband.

 

"Happy 1st Fathers Day Dennis! Pj @pilarjhena is blessed to have such a wonderful dad like you. It’s beautiful to witness the bond you have with our tiny angel," she captioned a black-and-white photo of Dennis holding Baby Pilar. Fans were quick to call her out on it.

Below are some of the comments:

"Yep!! They not together anymore That was that co parent Fathers Day S/O frfr!! I was really hoping that the rumors were not true because y’all were such a beautiful couple to watch grow!! Dennis really needs to come through and win your heart again!! "

"Uh... oh! He’s “Dennis”?!! He’s in trouble! it’s usually fiancé or baby! She’s petty, petty! You knew he was using your name and you wanted a baby and security for your baby! Y’all even! "

"Bloop. This is the “I’ll take the high road and wish you a happy father’s day, but you know what it is, and be lucky you got this” post. #shespissedpissed #whenawomansfedup #haveherhomeby6"

Yikes.

Last week, Porsha opened up for the first time about the current status of her relationship with her daughter's father. She didn't confirm an official breakup, but she def alluded to them no longer being together.

While speaking on a panel during the American Black Film Festival in Miami, she said:

“I’m pretty much doing everything in my own time. Not that there’s anything I’m trying to hide or run away from, but if you love someone and you make a mistake or he makes a mistake or whatever’s going on, you gotta make sure that y’all are good at the end of the day,” Porsha explained.

“I am on a reality television show and I do pride myself on being transparent on the show,” she continued, “but at the same time I’m human and when you’re talking about family, something that you want for a lifetime, you have to protect it.”

Despite what Porsha and Dennis have going on, she said he's always going to be family and she'll love him forever for that:

“What I will always do is make sure I protect family,” she said. “He will always be my daughter’s father and I will absolutely love him forever. We absolutely go through our ups and downs together. And I still thank God for the blessing I claimed a year ago.”

She added, “There are still be things in any of us that aren’t perfect, that we have to deal with as a family. But overall I am still thankful to God and I know he is holding both of our hands as long as we stay in prayer.”

Looks like their whirlwind romance (they said "I Love You" on the first date and got engaged 5 months later) MIGHT not have been the move.

JUNETEENTH ACTION! Crowds Are Currently Swarming The Capitol While Ta-Nehisi Coates, Cory Booker Go AWF About Slave Reparations At Hearing

0

The Reparations bill has been re-upped yearly for decades.  This year, though, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee had backup as she reintroduces H.R. 40, a bill.

 

Author Ta-Nehisi Coates, actor Danny Glover and Presidential hopeful Cory Booker went all the way in about why Congress is playing games about giving us our reparations, and crowds are forming too.

It's Juneteenth, the day we celebrate to recognize the estimated time the last slaves in Texas learned they were free.  So it's only appropriate Congresswoman from Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, reintroduces the oddly controversial reparations bill and brings the troops with her for back up.

 

Former Rep. John Conyers first introduced reparations H.R. 40 legislation in 1989 aimed at creating a commission to "make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long-delayed process of atonement for slavery."  It's been brought up every ession since.   This year, the troops were called in - from authors to actors to 1 Presidential hopeful.

Today, at a hearing on Capitol Hill for the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, famed author Ta-Nehisi Coats got everybody - namely Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (and he had receipts!) - all the way together.  He dropped knowledge about why African American descendants of slaves still deserve their 40 acres and a mule, despite modern Republicans and others believing blacks are owed nothing.

 

Kleptocracy.  Speak king!

 

 

Good ol Mitch's response? He says reparations are needed for blacks since immigrants aren't "given" anything when they come here either. While support for the measure has gained momentum among several 2020 candidates, the Senate's most prominent Republican, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, voiced blunt opposition to the idea of reparations on Tuesday.

"I don't think reparations for something that happened 150 years for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea," McConnell told reporters at a press conference. "We've tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a Civil War, by passing landmark civil rights legislation, by electing an African American president."

He said that another issue is that it would be hard to "figure out" whom to compensate.

"We've had waves of immigrants, as well, who have come to this country and experienced dramatic discrimination of one kind or another," he said. "So, no, I don't think reparations are a good idea."

We see he still doesn't know (or acts like he doesn't) the difference between SLAVERY and VOLUNTARILY coming to America on one's own accord on one's own time while also not being constitutionally categorized as a fraction of a human. Immigrants are also rarely affected by longstanding institutional racism in equal ways as natural born citizen black Americans. There are plenty of immigrants who no one would even know was an immigrant unless it was said, so they wouldn't experience this "dramatic discrimination" Mitch is talking about.

McConnell also says he opposes reparations for descendants of slaves because no one "currently alive was responsible for that." This argument is extremely weak, seeing that multiple disenfranchised groups receive reparations to this day- including Native Americans. And no one currently alive was responsible for Columbus'ing America either.

The double standards and outright unfairness are staggering.  Reparations are seemingly only seen as "handouts" when talking about reparations for blacks.

At the hearing, Sen. Cory Booker also took the stand to make it known he's pro-reparations. The 2020 Presidential candidate said:

"I feel a sense of anger where we are in the United States of America, where we have not yet had conversations about a lot of the root causes of the inequities, and the pain and the hurt manifested in economic disparities. Manifested in health disparities. Manifested in disparities a criminal justice system that is indeed a form of a new Jim Crow."

He continued, "we as a nation have not yet acknowledged and grappled with racism and white supremacy that has tainted this country's founding and continues to persist in those deep racial disparities and inequalities today."

Another 2020 candidate who's been talking about reparations since 1997 is spiritual leader Marianne Williamson, who told ABC News Monday,"The whole idea of reparations, to me, has been an extension of a moral principle."

Williamson added: "The reason I feel strongly about reparations is because there is an inherent mea culpa, there's an inherent acknowledgment, that a wrong that has been done."

A word.

Actor Danny Glover spoke his piece as well:

Meanwhile, Capitol Hill saw tons of reparations advocates making their stance known.

"Why should the federal government bear responsibility for economic and social damages to the descendants of the enslaved?" "I think the most obvious reason is because the federal government is complicit in it." - Coates

Period.

Lots of people have taken to the halls of the Capitol in support: You can watch the hearing in full below:

Oop. The Diamond Princess and the Queen just came through with a summer BOP. Get into the appropriately titled "BAPS" inside.

 

Nope, this time "BAPS" doesn't stand for Black American Princesses like our fave BLACKbuster flick. Trina just delivered a new track featuring Nicki Minaj with the same name, and the ladies say it reps for the Bad Ass Pretty Sagittariuses.

Fresh off Trina's upcoming album The One (out Friday), "BAPS" brings back New Orleans' Cash Money Millionaires' "Project B-tch" beat.  And it GOES.

 

The track is currently streaming on Apple and TIDAL.

By the way, Nicki and Trina were in the studio with Young Money Cash Money head honcho Lil Wayne back in 2017. We wouldn't be surprised if this is the track they cooked up.

Trina stopped by Apple Music to chop it up with Ebro about the track:

BONUS: Ncki's prepping to drop her own comeback track. "Megatron" (and a new episode of QUEEN radio) hit tomorrow:

Ayesha Curry is busy, busy, busy promoting her new show "Family Food Fight." Deets on how she juggles several hats, plus the sweet tribute she sent her husband Steph Curry after the Golden State Warriors lost the NBA Championship inside....

Ayesha Curry has been making headlines for clapping back at trolls and was dragged for sharing her thoughts about wanting to be "seen" by other men. She's been catching a lot of heat online, but that isn't stopping her bag one bit.

The cookbook author appeared on "Good Morning America" this morning to promote her brand new ABC cooking show, "Family Food Fight."

 

 

While chatting it up with the "GMA" hosts, the 30-year-old restaurateur - rocking a fitted red dress - revealed her new show is her "baby" because she's involved in almost every area of its creation. She's the host, a judge AND she's an executive producer of the show.

ABC's "Family Food Fight" is an eight-episode summer series that features diverse, multi-generational teams/families competing for the title of "America’s No. 1 Food Family" and a $100,000 bag! The mom-of three will be joined by renowned chefs Cat Cora and Graham Elliot.

The new show is set to premiere tomorrow, June 20th at 9pm EST on ABC after the first episode of "Holey Moley," an extreme miniature golf competition produced by her husband, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.

Mrs. Curry also talked her husband and his teams huge loss, what they have planned this summer, she judged a food competition between two couples, and more. Peep the interview below:

In another interview...

Ayesha Curry sat down for an interview on "Strahan and Sara" along with guest-host Keke Palmer to chat about motherhood (giving Sara advice on transitioning with a new baby in the home) and why her almost one-year-old son will likely NOT play basketball. Find out what sport he's getting into above.

After the Golden State Warriors lost the NBA Championship to the Toronto Raptors...

 

The NBA WAG posted up a sweet tribute to her hubby and the Oracle Arena in a new IG post. In the post, she bids farewell to the arena and shared some of the memories she and Steph shared.

“We’ve spent the past 10 [years] at Oracle. Took our ‘save the date’ photos there, brought all of our kids to their first games there. Laughed, cried, celebrated. We ‘grew up’ together there. We’ll never forget our decade at Oracle. Thank you Dub Nation for loving, embracing us and always cheering for my husband no matter what. On and off the court.”

The Warriors will play in a new arena in San Francisco starting next season.

It's (Finally) Happening! 'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay & Bryan Abasolo Look Hella In Love - Engagement Photos & Wedding Deets

"Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay and her fiance Bryan Abasolo are one step closer to tying the knot. And they have new engagement photos. Peep their pictorials inside...

Rachel Lindsay - above, leaving "Strahan & Sara" this week - and her fine a-- fiance Bryan Abasolo seem to be getting closer to trekking down the aisle.

In 2017, the bride-to-be chose Abasolo to be her husband and people wondering when they would finally make it down the aisle.

In March, she finally spilled the tea on their wedding plans. We learned they will be tying the knot in the Caribbean for a destination wedding this August. Now, they're sharing their engagement shots!

The couple looked madly in love in the pictorials, shot by Clane Gessel Photography in New York City.

The 34-year-old Dallas native looked gorgeous in an orange halter dress and she cuddled up with her 39-year-old Miami native fiance on the Brooklyn bridge. Oh yeah, and Rachel's 3-carat pear-shape Neil Lane engagement ring was sparkling loudly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The couple was all smiles in another set of more laid back pics. See them all here.

Just a few weeks ago, Rachel and Bryan picked out their wedding bands. They told PEOPLE how they founf the perfect rings:

“It was exciting [picking out the rings],” Lindsay told PEOPLE. “They signify our love and commitment to each other.”

“I knew which ring I wanted the second Neil took out the display,” said Abasalo. “It just stuck out right away and I immediately went with my gut. On the other hand, Rachel wanted to try on every ring in the store!”

“I went in knowing exactly what I wanted but then Neil Lane made it extremely difficult for me and I wanted everything," Lindsay said.

“I went with a more classic band,” said Abasalo. “I’m quick and simple. You can’t go wrong with that. Rachel likes more of the flashier, bold statement rings.”

Lindsay agreed: “I knew I wanted it to stand out alone from my engagement ring. I wanted it to make a statement that says this is forever so you can’t downplay that!”

Also, the attorney-turned-reality star already has her dress picked out. She'll be strolling down the aisle in a custom convertible creation from Randi Rahm.

“I will walk down [the aisle] one way, and later on you will see me in a completely different way. And it’s all the same dress,” she told BRIDES back in April. “For the wedding I wanted to do something that I felt encompassed who I am, but it’s not like anything you’ve ever seen me in before either.”

 

Sweet! We can't wait to see the dreamy wedding flicks.

 

Also...

Rachel appeared on the "Strahan & Sara" show to break down all of the drama brewing on the new "Bachelorette" season. Peep the clip above.

PLOT TWIST! Everything We Know About David 'Big Papi' Ortiz's Dominican Republic Shooting Drama & The Youtube Blogger Woman In The Middle

0

 photo davidortiz1.png

Newly released details about the shooting of baseball legend David "Big Papi" Ortiz in the Dominican Repbulic have just come out. And there's an insane plot twist. Everything we know so far inside...

Baseball legend David "Big Papi" Ortiz was shot while hanging out with friends - including local TV host Jhoel Lopez (below) - on a crowded patio at the Dial Bar and Lounge in Santo Dominigo on the night of June 9th.

 

A gunman pulled up on a motorcycle and fired off shots, shooting the Boston Red Sox legend in the back. Lopez was hit in the leg, possibly by the same bullet that exited Ortiz's body through his stomach. It was initially described as a murder-for- hire plot against him.

Earlier reports said police in the Dominican Republic believed Ortiz was shot by two cops hired by a Dominican Republic drug lord who thought the baseball player was having an affair with his significant other, a Dominican model/Youtube blogger named Maria Yeribell Martinez Garcia.

 

Interestingly, Maria was seen in David's waiting room at the hospital right after the shooting, and a woman alleged to be her was caught on video fighting another woman - whom People Espanol claims is Fary Almanzar Fernandez - and Big Papi's entourage before being thrown to the floor.

 

What in the telenovela?!

While Maria - who interestingly made a new Instagram page 2 days after the shooting - supposedly denies any involvement with David, alleged receipts surfaced showing an $85K Lexus RX purchased allegedly by David Ortiz for Maria.  The purchase was made just days before the shooting.

David's agent, Alex Radetsky, doesn't confirm or deny the receipts. Daily Mail reports:

 

Radetsky also declined to address a set of images circulating widely in the Dominican media that appear to show that Ortiz bought Garcia a luxury SUV the day before the shooting.

The documents include a June 8 sales agreement for a Lexus RX that lists Garcia as the owner of the new car. A bank check made out by David Americo Ortiz Arias, the ex-player's full name, shows a Bank of America check for $84,500.

Chick has even posted David recently on her Instagram wishing him well:

 

Shady business.

 

Now, there's a plot twist!

The Dominican Republic’s chief prosecutor now claims Big Papi was NOT the intended target of the June 9th shooting. He was merely a victim of a hit gone terribly wrong. Come to find out, the intended target was Ortiz's friend, Sixto David Fernandez, a friend who was at the table with him the night he was shot, according to Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez.

Peep a clip of the shooting below:

The alleged mastermind ordered the hit from inside the United States and the alleged gunman mistook Ortiz for the man he was supposed to kill.

Prosecutors believe that Victor Hugo Gomez planned the attack and that he meant to kill his own cousin (Fernandez) for snitching on him for a drug offense eight years ago.

Police said Ortiz and Fernandez had on similar clothing the night of the shooting. Prosecutors warn Gomez is a dangerous fugitive and has a lengthy criminal history and may have ties to a drug cartel. He's wanted by the DEA and has been on the run in the U.S. since March for a drug sting known as "Operation Wrecking Ball."

New surveillance video shows another missing suspect, who police think was the middleman of the operation. Alberto Rodriguez Mota was at the bar in the hours leading up to the shooting. Authorities revealed he snapped a picture of the intended target and shared it with the other suspects. Not long after, the surveillance video shows him calmly standing up during all of the chaos following the shooting.

The alleged shooter - Rolfi Ferreira Cruz - told reporters from his jail cell that he did not mean to shoot Ortiz and was only told what color clothing to look for. The photo he received made it look like Fernandez was wearing white pants, as Ortiz had on that night, and confused one for the other.

“Sixto David Fernandez pointed to Victor Hugo Gomez as the only person who may want to attempt to kill him, which he had already expressed through repeated threatening messages,’’ Rodriguez said.

Dominican police have arrested 11 suspects and they are still looking for four others, including the mastermind, Victor Hugo Gomez.

The 43-year-old baseball legend remains in the intensive care unit of Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital. His wife of 17 years, Tiffany (above), said his condition has been upgraded from “guarded’’ to “good.’’ He was flown to Boston on a plane provided by his old team.

The former Red Rox slugger splits his time between Santo Domingo (where he was shot) and Miami where he lives with his wife and children. He retired from baseball in 2016.

President Barack Obama sent him a get well soon message via Twitter:

LEAKED! The Graphic 'Oral Fetish' Details About What Drake ALLEGEDLY Did To IG Model He Settled With In $350K Rape

Whew, chile. New details about that rape case Drake settled with IG "model" Layla Lace have leaked. And it's graphic. Details inside...

 

New details about a rape case Drake settled for $350,000 with IG "model" Layla Lace have come out. And it's quite...graphic.

Let us catch you up. In April 2017, an IG "model" named Layla Lace (real name Laquana Morris) made claims that she was pregnant by Drizzy and she also accused him of sexual assault, blasting him on social media. Drake was investigated by authorities in the UK and he was eventually cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

The "God's Plan" rapper pulled the trigger on a lawsuit against Layla where he sued for civil extortion, emotional distress, fraud, defamation, and abuse of process in September 2018.

It's alleged the OVO honcho and "IG model" Layla Lace - who def fits the bill for what he claims is his type - met in Manchester, England during his Boy Meets World Tour. After a concert in February 2017, he said he had "consensual" sex with her in his hotel and that "Layla also voluntarily and seemingly happily performed oral sex..."

Layla apparently got upset when she realized he sent her home instead of letting her tour around the world with him and that's when all the drama started.

In November 2018, Drizzy and Layla reached a settlement of $350,000 to shut her up about the allegations she made against him.

“The filing made by Drake against Layla Lace has been resolved, with Layla avoiding going to trial by agreeing to a stipulated judgment which prohibits her from repeating past statements she made against Drake,” Drake’s attorney Larry Stein said in a statement to TMZ. “Drake and his team are satisfied with this outcome and while Drake appreciates the support he has received, he asks that his fans and the media allow both parties to move on with their lives.”

Now, Layla has filed a complaint against her own attorney and details about the alleged encounter have leaked. According to The Blast, the Young Money rapper's team believes she is lying and they have contacted law enforcement to investigate. Oop.

Layla filed the complaint with the New York Attorney Grievance Committee and the graphic details have come to light:

"I, Laquana Morris signed a retainer agreement with Alexander Cabereiras on January 23, 2018. I explained to him that I was sexually assaulted by the rapper Drake."

Morris then went into great detail and explained, "How Drake forced me to perform oral on him. It wasn't your ordinary oral it was more so a fetish where he measured a cup and demanded that I spit in the cup until he had measured it. Afterward he dumped the spit on my face repeating, 'I wanna see your face messy.'"

Morris also states, "Being that the incident happening in Manchester UK I had to file a police report over there. I called the Manchester Police Department in June 2017."

Whew, chillay.

IT’S OVER! Porsha Williams & Dennis McKinley Reportedly Call Off Engagement

Porsha Williams & Dennis McKinley are over.  For real this time.  Details on the new parents calling off the engagement inside.

 

The Hot Dog King won't be slanging anymore weiners Porsha's way. 

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams and her fiancé, Dennis McKinley, have called off their 8-month long engagement, this according to E! News.

Porsha recently tried to gloss over the blaring relationship problems fans have been noticing, saying she doesn't have anything to hide.  But she definitely went on vacation with just their 3-month old baby, Pilar Jhena, and her fam on Father's Day weekend, sans her baby's father.

After plenty of drama involving cheating accusations (which Dennis still denies), spending Holidays apart and unfollowing just to re-follow each other, it looks like we won’t be "meeting the McKinleys" after all.

Last night, Porsha unfollowed Dennis for a second time on Instagram - a tell tale sign the relationship milk is curdled, just to re-follow him hours later.  Dennis still wasn't following her though.

At least Porsha got a televised proposal, a baby and a spinoff show out of it.

Wendy Williams' Friends Are Worried She's 'Spiraling Out Of Control' On Her Sobriety Journey, Now She's Giving Advice To Women & Controlling Her Career

0

 photo wendynotgood.png

Folks in Wendy Williams' camp are speaking out and it's not looking good for the daytime talk show host. ...

Wendy Williams may be "dippin' it and doin' it" out in these streets. Yes, she has been getting her life in LA with her new bestie Blac Chyna.  And yes, she has been having "no strings attached fun" with 27-year-old North Carolina native Marc Tomblin, who is a convicted felon.

However, her friends are reportedly worried about her.

As you know, the daytime talk show diva has been struggling to stay sober amid all of her divorce drama with her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kevin Hunter. She has made several public appearances in the last few weeks, seemingly happy and sober. But, it seems there may be something going on behind closed doors that have the people around her concerned.

“Wendy is not in a good place,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Friends close to her are worried she’s spiraling out of control.”

 

When this video of Wendy breaking down about her divorce/drama hit the Internet, we knew something was up:

Sheesh.

She brought Mr. Tomblin - who has been revealed as an ex-con who did time for armed robbery - back to NYC for a few more days of fun.  they were spotted all around Manhattan shopping it up and living their best lives.  We say do you Wendy, but don't get GOT by another man because you're vulnerable.  It's ok to be alone for a few too.

Wendy seems to be keeping it together enough to run her own career herself these days though.  It's widely known her soon-to-be ex ran the show on the business side, often keeping her in the dark.  She admitted this many times on her show, but made it seem like that was her choice.  Not so much.  She was in Charlotte today speaking at FWD, the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Summit.  And she revealed just how controlling Kev was.  The Blast reports:

While being interviewed Wendy was asked about the difference in career advice for women and men.

Wendy didn't hold back, telling the crowd while her career was taking off, "Kev and the team would show up...and wouldn't tell me until he knew the deal was done."

In the video, Wendy was clear to the audience, "I want to be in on every meeting until the deal is done, this is how I roll," claiming she is now completely in charge of her affairs and career path.

Wendy also gave the room advice about having kids too early in life, claiming it's not a good idea. "Kids get in the way," Williams responded. She clarified that she loves her kids and is a parent herself, but her advice is to build a business and then settle down in your 30s.

Hmph.

It all started when the 54-year-old talk show host took a whole two month hiatus from her show. Everyone knew something was up because Wendy hardly ever misses a show. Finally, she returned to the show in March and revealed she had been living in a sober house in New York with a 24-hour sober coach. She talked about how well she hid it from the world, but it was clearly taking a toll on her.

After her confession, it was reported she relapsed on alcohol and was taken to the hospital. However, she didn't miss a beat. She appeared on her show the next morning, telling fans she was just fine. Hmph. Wendy has a history with cocaine addiction and often talks about it on her show.

In April, Wendy filed for divorce from her husband of 20+ years after his rumored mistress, Sharina Hudson, allegedly gave birth to their baby girl. Kevin Sr. still hasn't confirmed or denied if the baby is his. Meanwhile, his relationship with his 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr., has suffered. The father-son duo reportedly got into a physical fight that resulted in Kevin Jr. being arrested for assault.

Also, Wendy dissolved The Hunter Foundation, a nonprofit she started with her ex-husband to help support recovering addicts. Kevin Sr. claims he's going to start a new foundation to continue helping addicts. Also, Kevin Sr. has requested Wendy pay him spousal AND child support amid their divorce.

Mathew Knowles Talks About Colorism Benefitting Beyonce...AGAIN + This 'Lion King' Soundtrack Is Going To Be FIRE! Hear Bey & Donald Glover's Duet

Mathew Knowles is speaking about colorism in the music industry again and he says if Beyoncé was darker it would have "affected" her career. Find out how he compared his daughter to Kelly Rowland, plus listen to this new Lion King snippet inside...

Mathew Knowles isn't working behind-the-scenes in the music industry like he once did, but he's well aware of how the industry works.

The Texas Southern University professor - who once managed his daughter's career & still is the manager of Destiny's Child - said in a recent interview that Beyonce's lighter skin ton contributed to her success and compared her to Destiny's Child bandmate & bestie, Kelly Rowland, who is darker-skinned.

 photo beydadd1.png

During his interview on SiriusXM's “The Clay Cane Show,” Papa Knowles said his college class did a research study on colorism in the music industry, spanning a period of 15 years. By the way, Papa Knowles helped create an Entertainment Recording Management degree at the school.

They found that light-skinned black women overwhelmingly fared better than women of darker tones. Artists like Bey, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj skyrocketed on Top 40 radio, according to their research.

"There’s still segregation," he said. "Programmers, especially at pop radio, [have] this imagery of what beauty looks like. They wanted that imagery to be the same as singing those records.”

 photo beydadd2.png

"If you look back even at Whitney Houston, if you look at those photos, how they lightened her to make her look a lighter complexion. Because there's a perception of colorism -- the lighter that you are, the smarter -- there's a perception all over the world about color. Even with black folks."

He's def right about colorism in the black community.  Is Beyoncé only looked at NOW as the Queen of this industry solely because of her skin color?  No.  She's in her own lane and is her own genius, period.  Did she AND MANY OTHER talented people get more opportunities to better their craft and get more opportunities period early on because of her skin color?  Maybe.  Talent certainly isn't everything in this business. 

When the 67-year-old was asked if the LEMONADE singer's career would have been affected if she had darker skin, he admitted it would and compared Bey to Kelly Rowland.

"I think it would have affected her success. And I use Kelly Rowland as an example. She’s a great example. But you know, the great thing is Kelly did exceptional outside of America, especially in Australia. Kelly sold over 4 million records. She just got off script," he explained.

Take a listen below:

This isn't the first time he has spoken out about colorism in the industry. He sat down on the purple couch with Wendy Williams last year and said the same thing. Check it out HERE.

By the way, "The Talk" co-host Eve is over Papa Knowles talking about colorism. Oh?

The ladies discussed the colorism topic on "The Talk" today and Eve said she's over the colorism talk because Beyonce is "colorless."

"The world we live in, we see color, it is what it is. Maybe it did have something to do with it, but I'm sick of him talking about this, because ultimately, maybe it started off like that, possibly, but she has surpassed, she's beyond her skin tone," Eve said on the show. "She is an artist... She is colorless. Let's stop talking about this and pitting people against each other. Kelly Rowland is amazing, Beyoncé is amazing."

"I think Beyoncé would be a huge star regardless. I think there are some people that probably get held back by their skin tone, I think it's worth acknowledging. Sometimes I think it's, how talented do you have to be to break through our stigmas in our society? I think it's fair to say, we don't live in a perfect, colorblind world, unfortunately," Sara Gilbert added.

"I just look at the talent, and talent is colorless," Sharon Osbourne responded.

Peep the clip above.

We're going to guess Eve didn't see Beyonce's "Homecoming" Netflix special.

In other BeyHive news...

A snippet of Beyonce (as Nala) and Donald Glover (as Simba) singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from the classic animated film, The Lion King, just dropped. And it's everything! Listen, this soundtrack is going to be so BOMB and bring back all the nostalgic feels. Take a listen to a snippet of the duet above.

 

 

The Lion King hits theaters July 19th.

So, as you can see magic happens when they collaborate.

Now, the dynamic duo is working on a Netflix feature adaptation of August Wilson's award-winning play, "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom."

Mr. Washington will do what he does behind-the-scenes as a producer of the film. Viola Davis will reportedly star in the film adaptation and she will be joined by a stellar cast, including Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, "How To Get Away With Murder" star Glynn Turman, "Fear of the Walking Dead" actor Colman Domingo and "True Detective" actor Michael Potts. Woot! We're feeling this casting already.

Ruben Santiago-Hudson is adapt Wilson’s play for Netflix. Constanza Romero will serve as EP. Oscar winning Ann Roth is set as the costume designer with Branford Marsalis composing.

Major congrats to Denzel Washington as he is the recipient of the 47th AFI Life Achievement Award! And it's history making.

Fellow actors like Chadwick Boseman, Issa Rae, Michael B. Jordan, Mahershala Ali, and Jamie Foxx paid tribute to Denzel in a pre-taped ceremony a few weeks ago. Grammy winning singer Jennifer Hudson performed Same Cook's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and Beyonce popped up to present the Schaffner Medal to her friend/longtime collaborator Melina Matsoukas.

It was a historic night with Duke sending three of their players to the NBA draft in the Top 10 for the first time in school history. But the real story is all the #blackboyjoy, the tears and the appreciation for parents. Get into it inside.

 

Draft night is always an emotional one, but this year the #blackboyjoy at Brooklyn Barclays had us all the way in our feelings.  Zion Williamson was the overwhelming favorite to go #1 straight to New Orleans, and that's exactly what happened.  No surprise there.  But him breaking down about his mother and all of her sacrificing being the reason he's gotten this far...now that took folks out.

 

Awww!

Despite the rumors that he's super pissed he's not going to the NY Knicks, it's no question he's still appreciates the opportunities ahead.

We believe it.

Zion's teammate and good friend, RJ Barrett, broke all the way down as his father spoke up on his behalf.  Black fathers for the win!

Another baller, Matise Thybulle, got emotional wishing his mother who passed was there to see his success.

History was also made with Rui Hachimura - the first baller from Japan to go first round:

The fellas weren't just ecstatic about their own draft and MAJOR signing bonuses, they were super geeked for each other too:

Loves it. Congrats to the new NBA rookies!

Oh?!

 

After teasing her new track with a video of her and her man, Kenneth Petty, laid up in bed feeling each other up, "Megatron" is here.

Nicki dipped back into her West Indie roots with a dancehall bop just in time for summer. Rocking her usual skimpy custom Versace bikinis, she whine'd and rolled her way through an island inspired vid. This time around she wanted only one man next to her - her boyfriend Kenneth.

We don't know how long ago the video was shot, but it surely also seems like a message to her Barbz that they can stop with the pregnancy rumors. There was nan a bump in site.

 

 

We're sure Ms. Minaj will be addressing those rumors and more on Friday's return of Queen Radio.  It goes down at 2p on Apple Radio.

Evelyn Lozada's Open To Dating Rob 'Big D*ck' Kardashian, Talks About Her 3 Cycles Of IVF & 'Spanish' Women Snapbacks

0

Evelyn Lozada dishes on her flirt session with Rob Kardashian and whether she would give him a shot. She also opens about her IVF struggles, co-parenting with Carl Crawford and "Spanish" women snapping back after having kids inside...

Oh? So, Evelyn Lozada is on cougar status now? Sure seems like it.

The 43-year-old "Basketball Wives" star is making promo runs for a new season and she stopped by Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" to clear up the rumors after she engaged in a public flirt session with 32-year-old Rob Kardashian.

In the now-deleted Twitter exchange, Ev tweets: "Rob Kardashian has a big sausage." He responded, "And you a squirter."

"I knew that was gonna come up today," Ev said when the radio hosts asked her about it.

"I have never seen his sausage," she confirmed. "It just really started off as a bet. I was dared and I take dares seriously. Don't dare me because I'll tweet something crazy."

She said she and Rob are cool, but have never been out on date. We do know she's cool with his sisters as she's a model for Khloe Karashian's Good American clothing line and dated one of her exes - French Montana (y'all know how their friendship circles roll). 

Then, she explained how the tweet came about in the first place.

"I feel like he's an amazing father, you know. And I wished him a happy Father's Day. I said 'Happy Father's Day Big D*ck Rob,'" she shared. "And he was like, 'Oh, thank you! I bet you won't say that to the world.'"

So, there you have it. Oh, she also confirmed she's NOT a squirter.  In case you needed this information.

Since she's a single lady these days, and supposedly not dating, would she ever give the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star a shot?

"I think Rob is a nice guy. I like the family, I think they're cool. I feel like he has potential for greatness. And I hope he keeps kicking ass in the gym because I think he is a nice looking man."

Sounds like if he loses a few pounds, she'll be with it.

Peep the clip below:

 

 

 

Evelyn is living the single life right now, but she "loves love" and would be open to getting married again. She said she's the "relationship type" after being with former NBA player Antoine Walker for 10 years, marrying former NFL star Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, and being with former MLB player Carl Crawford for 4.5 years. She said she's cool with all of her exes and that she and Carl have a dope co-parenting relationship for the sake of their son, Leo. They aren't romantically involved anymore, but Ev said she's proud of Carl's venture into music and him signing rapper, Megan Thee Stallion.

Evelyn and Carl called it quits after she learned from a friend he had cheated on her. The "Livin Lozada" reality star asked him about it, he admitted to it, he apologized and told her she didn't deserve that. They were in the process of trying to get pregnant again. She revealed she had just went through three cycles of IVF for another baby. Being high risk (because of her age), she suffered three miscarriages within a year, each one costing $20,000. After all of that, she was over the whole situation with Carl and they broke up.

You'll recall, TheYBF.com was tipped off about their breakup with sources revealing they had broken up WAY before it was announced and that she was using her relationship and IVF struggles for a storyline. Get those deets HERE.

Speaking of having kids...

DJ Envy started talking about how he and his wife Gia Casey want a 6th child and Evelyn began complimenting how good she looks after giving birth so many times.

"She [Gia] looks really good for having 5 kids."

Envy agreed, of course, and said she's just "lucky" because she eats whatever she wants, she doesn't workout, and hasn't had any surgery.

Ev responded, "Oh, wow! Is she Spanish?"

"Puerto Rican, Jamaican and Asian," Envy answered.

"Oh wow she's a little bit of everything," Evelyn responded.

Hmm...did she seemingly insinuate that the reason she has good genetics is because she thought she was "Spanish?" That's what folks are saying online. She meant "Latino" instead of "Spanish." This almost reminds of Cyn Santana's "Black Men Cater To Spanish Women" fiasco. 

In the interview, the "BBW" wives star also dished on her failed friendship with her former bestie Jennifer Williams.

"The relationship is strained. We say it's like a toxic marriage," she said.

Ev explained her issue with Jennifer was the fact that Jennifer was talking about her daughter, Shaniece.

Season before last, she genuinely wanted to work on her friendship with Jen. She said the scene they had on the beach where they cried and reconnected was real.

Then last season, it comes out that she was saying ish about Shaneice.

"She [Jennifer] said allegedly my daughter was a latch key kid. For anybody who knows me...I'm a great mom," Evelyn shared.

Ev said Jennifer "heart my heart" talking about her daughter and feels like people children are ALWAYS off limits. Ev and Tami Roman never really been cool and they've never mentioned each other's kids, so Jennifer's comments really hit her hard.

Oh, Ev and Tami still aren't cool this season, by the way.
