Bebe Rexha is so bi-polar, she posted this bikini shot to her INStagram with this manic caption: I probably should of photoshopped my stomach and made it look flat. I probably should of photoshopped my legs to make them look thinner. I probably should of made myself look taller and Smoothed my legs. But I didn’t. Society can really fuck with you. Here is what a real woman looks like on Instagram without photoshop. You wanna know what I hate? Bi-Polar Disorder empowerment….or really any mental health empowerment…you got diagnoses something I can guarantee I could get diagnosed with because I can trick any aptitude test, especially the “are you a psychopath” test, since you don’t want people knowing you’re a psychopath…. It’s like bitch just found out why she’s been fat and not a confident pop star the last decade in the industry, but thanks to hard work, medication and focus she can be the 30 year old strong pop star in a bikini that she is…. Like who cares about fat Bebe Rexha or her crazy…. Oh and I also hate fat girl empowerment….it’s not so empowering when you make a fucking speech about how you’re no photoshopped…why not just post your fat pic and leave it at that…leave it at “this is what I look like in a bikini”…instead of being so theatrical about it… This is what happens when you tell a song writer, who has made hit songs for other people, that she should make songs for herself….it comes with all kinds of crazy that takes away from her just being that fat chick in a bikini…. What I am saying is that…Society only fucks with you if you care what society thinks…and reality is…Society doesn’t give a fuck about Bebe Rexha we all know she’s fat…so no photoshop needed…and the funny thing is…that this is probably photoshopped. Crazy people trying to find meaning and purpose while being half naked whores.. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Met Gala After Hours Folks are still simmering from the amazing fashion debuted at the Met Gala on Monday. Much attention was given to the detailed looks hitting the campy red carpet . However, some of the night’s most…ahem…intimate moments happened behind the scenes. First, images started circulating around the Internet of Janelle Monáe and Lupita Nyong’o having a GOOD time at a Met afterparty. There’s even footage of the two taking up substantial personal space in a face-to-face dance.

Finally, Solange left her interpretive dance moves at home and let the yams fly at her D’USSE sponsored Met Gala afterparty.

A teenager was reaching for yet another greasy fry from a shared basket at the mall’s food court when she was spotted by the agent that would change her life. It’s a popular couture themed spin on the traditional Cinderella story and it’s oft repeated in cover stories and documentaries . But it’s rarer than it seems. And for models like Christina Mendez waiting to be discovered was never an option. In an exclusive interview with HelloBeautifu l the former Full-Figured Fashion Week Model Of The Year and mother of two explained how her path to the runway differed from the storybook version.

I had a son and he was diagnosed with autism, so I was more engulfed with that situation than I was with fashion or even caring about how I looked,” explained Mendez. Though her son’s journey presented her family with significant difficulties his challenges also inspired her to live her dreams. Watching her child navigate through situations that were tougher than him than most kids filled with faith that anything was possible with the right amount of fortitude.

Modeling just meant to me like achieving a goal that I thought I would never be able to achieve and doing something that people assumed that I was never it was never gonna happen,” she said. Once her son was set into a regular routine Mendez sought out castings where she could start getting her face known around the industry. She had limited experiences before that she drew on. “I used to do fashion shows in high school like little high school things nothing major,” she revealed.

She acted as if it was besides the point in the moment showing up like she had as much of a chance as anyone else to be the one who ended up ripping the runway .

I met one designer that designer booked me for a job that job became a campaign and then it just triggered down into amazing stuff,” she shared. “I think it’s very important for me to speak up about that experience because coming into the industry you’re set up to think like around 16, 17 they’re gonna pick you up while you’re eating at McDonalds casually and some agent is gonna say ‘You look amazing! Your look is amazing you should fly to Paris! And that’s not really the reality. Not all journeys start that way.” View this post on Instagram Taking all kinds of risk in 2018 …who is with me? A post shared by Christina Mendez (@modelchristinamendez) on Jan 16, 2018 at 6:24pm PST She wants to combat the narrative that there is only way to make it as a model because she wants to prevent people from getting in their own way due to fear of failure. “You could kind of get discouraged and not continue with your dreams ,” she warns. “I feel like my faith and journey helps other ladies and women say there’s no limit to it. Like Christina she started super late, her son was seven years old, not the typical model situation, look what happened with her.” View this post on Instagram Big Hips Red Lips #plussize #plussizemen #plussizemodel #plussizefashion #lingerie #confidence #curves #curvesrock #curvesarein #curvesaresexy #bodypositive #curvesarebeautiful #red #hips : @lucaspicturesnyc @littlelimedress @redcarpetfaces #body4me A post shared by Christina Mendez (@modelchristinamendez) on Apr 8, 2017 at 7:52pm PDT Shortly after she secured that first gig, she became booked and busy. “For me the story was fast, shocking, and like I felt groundbreaking,” said Mendez. She broke ground in more ways than one. “There was a lot of stuff I had to bring to the table that I had experienced like having a child with a disability and being vocal about that, so I was more vocal about that than I was about fashion for a long time,” she said. She found ways to slip vital information into the content she was pushing on social media and conversations that took place during the panels she was invited to speak on as her career shifted to higher levels.

Culturally we’re like ‘nothing is wrong with our kid’ ‘don’t talk to him’ it’s like we get really defensive and that really affects the outcome of our children. Even with mental health , we just try to sweep it under the rug and if we don’t talk about it, we can’t help our kids. So I feel super obligated to talk about it and fashion just gave me that platform.” She is also diligent about creating transparency around the images in the modeling industry. She uses her work with QVC to emphasize the importance of age and size diversity to her seven year old daughter. “I like to discuss you know, ‘This is an older model, This is a young model.’ No matter how different we look we are all models and beauty means something different to everyone.” But while the rise to creating change through her success was swift and strong there were definite roadblocks.

There were a couple of agents that dropped me because I couldn’t attend every casting. I wasn’t that type of model that could fly to Paris for one day and come back for three days my life had to be planned because of him.” Never for a second did she doubt the decision to commit to those plans fully. “I always choose my kids first!

I will never forget this. It was Rocawear and they were sending models to Africa for this amazing shoot, one plus size girl one skinny girl. It was gonna be an amazing opportunity and I couldn’t make it because my son had a therapy appointment and I couldn’t find a sitter and I cried for days.” She did not let the misfortune stop her and soon she was seeing it as a blessing.

So, it wasn’t meant to be at that time, but everything comes around full circle and if you could just kind of express yourself to these agents and clients some of them will understand and others wont and that was just not your time and not your opportunity.” Today as she works with brands like BET, Ashley Stewart , Kmart, Kohl’s, Qristyl Fraizer Designs, and Rue107 she is an example of what can happen when you refuse to set limits on your potential. “My motto is you’re never too old. You’re never too big or small to achieve your dreams just go for it,” she stated. If you would like more information about Autism please visit AustimSpeaks.org .

Source: Rich Polk / Getty Anthony Mackie Says He And Chris Evans Cried Over Avengers Ending *SPOILER ALERT for anyone who hasn’t seen Avengers: Endgame yet–stop reading immediately* One of the biggest moments of Avengers: Endgame happened at the very end, when we learn about Steve Rogers’ fate–which concludes with him handing off his shield to Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson. Even though Wilson eventually becomes Captain America in the comic books, Mackie says that he still didn’t expect the transition to happen on-screen–he wasn’t even aware of his own future until his co-star Chris Evans informed him. “We were at his house and he goes, ‘You excited?’ And I go, ‘What you talking about? And he goes, ‘You don’t know?’ He jumps up, runs out of the room and comes back in with the script. He’s like, ‘Read it!’” Mackie continued, “And I read the scene, and I’m like, ‘Whoa,’…We cried. We drank. We laughed. I am very happy I got that moment with Chris, for him to not only pass me the shield, but to tell me it was happening.” Hear the full story and more from Anthony Mackie below:
Source: Bertrand Rindoff Petroff / Getty Virgil Abloh Blasted Online For Lack Of Diversity On Staff Virgil Abloh’s brand Off-White staff has been criticized for having a staff that’s way too white. Not gonna lie I thought @virgilabloh would have some black people working with him but I’m not surprised pic.twitter.com/TLqb0CEbLb — lil shorty bulgogi (@wsupden) April 30, 2019 He received a ton of backlash this week after he posted photos from a recent Off-White event he attended with his employees. The pictures posted included some shots of the brand’s graphic team and art director and Abloh’s followers were quick to point out the lack of diversity among the staff, which led to people accusing him of not supporting other black creatives. Upset about being called out, Virgil responded to the criticism on Friday afternoon, posting photos of all the POC creatives he has worked with. The list features Kid Cudi, Playboi Carti, Serena Williams, Heron Preston, Tremaine Emory, Andre Walker, and Fabien Montique. After posting some other responses to the criticism, Abloh concluded his series of Instagram stories with these words: “Follow my whole design team. Support their creative ideas. Buy their clothes. Attend their events. Like their photos. Be global. Travel. Eat different food. Listen to techno. Walk don’t Uber. Love your neighbor.” Soon after responding on his own social media pages, Virgil also provided a statement to Hypebeast about the rumors spreading online. He said: “My design team is diverse as the world is big. The video shown was an Off-White dinner at the headquarters in the city of Milan, Italy. This party was to celebrate the hard work of the local Italian team.” Off-White also sent out a statement on the matter, which you can read below: “When questioned about diversity, Virgil Abloh takes pride in being African and American. His design team is diverse, and his practice has been built on making the art and design industry an inclusive community. Fellow designers like Samuel Ross, Heron Preston, No Vacancy Inn – by Tremaine Emory and Acyde Odunlami, Everard Best, Photographer Fabien Montique, amongst many others have been given a platform via Off-White . These are just a few of the many global voices and people sitting at the table and helping evolve the brand. Off-White is a black founded and owned business.” “He wishes to use this moment of being questioned to be a moment of reflection within the industry to showcase the talents behind their design entities and push to have a design community that represents the outside world.”

Source: CBS / CBS Tichina Arnold is clear: Never count her out, because she’s not going anywhere, but up. The actress, known for her iconic role as Pam on “Martin and having a career that has spanned more than three decades, is back on network television playing Tina Butler on the CBS hit comedy, “The Neighborhood.” Acting alongside the beloved Cedric the Entertainer , their freshman sitcom centers on how one African-American family adjusts to a white Midwestern family moving into their predominantly Black Los Angeles neighborhood. The season finale, which airs on April 22, tackles white privilege head-on by using humor to interrogate how Black and white folks get treated in certain spaces i.e a nearby snooty country club. Not surprisingly, Arnold is absolutely hilarious in it and the episode provides us with a much-needed lesson on motherhood, white privilege and the power of friendship. HelloBeautiful sat down with the seasoned actress to talk about the comedy’s finale, the importance of tackling issues of race through laughter and how blessed she feels to be working in the industry that she loves. HelloBeautiful: So, the first season of “The Neighborhood” wraps tonight! How are you feeling? Tichina Arnold: Oh, it feels great. It’s been such an amazing experience to be on this show and tonight’s episode is something special. HB: The season finale focuses on white privilege, which we know can be a heavy topic. Why is engaging in these conversations about race and gentrification with laughter important to you? TA: The show’s concept is loosely based on the life of the show’s creator Jim Reynolds. He was the new white neighbor and knows first-hand what these conversations and experiences look like, so what a better way to teach people and broaden people’s horizons and thinking through laughter? Laughter is great for the soul, it can help usher in life lessons and teach us how to get along and accept each other’s differences. HB: Did the topics from the season finale, especially around white privilege, spark any interesting conversations among the cast? TA: You know, the cast talks about this topic all the time. We’re pretty open and speak about it amongst ourselves, especially at the table reads, which is important. But the key for me is not take yourself too seriously [with the material] because that would make “The Neighborhood” a different show. But we definitely want to ask these tough questions and don’t shy away from them. We also want to know what our viewers think. We love to hear your opinions! HB: Did the topics the show addresses attract you to the role? TA: Most definitely! The idea of gentrification is real to a lot of people, including my own family, my parents. We lived in different neighborhoods that were gentrified by different cultures and it’s a huge change that a lot of people don’t initially accept. They worry about what it’s going to do, will it be good and how will these changes impact them. HB: And rightfully so… TA: Definitely. During the season, we see that Calvin was pretty resistant to that change and with good reason some of the time. [Laughs] But I also kind of see him like Archie Bunker—ignorant to certain things, things he’s never experienced. So it’s a journey for him, but also a means for him to teach others too. In one episode, he explains to Dave [played by Max Greenfield] how his family lived in that neighborhood for a very long time and when the white people moved in and then left, the town went down and the Black residents worked hard to keep it together. Now, that the white people are back, the area got better. There’s a frustration there and these are important points that need to be heard. HB: Speaking of Cedric, you two have such amazing chemistry on the show! TA: It’s been crazy…I’ve known Cedric for a very long time and he’s one of my favorite celebrity friends that I’ve never worked with all these years! So I was pretty excited about being cast with him on the show. It’s all love between us. And having a genuine love and respect with someone right there is a winning combination. You just can’t lose. Source: CBS / CBS HB: For your character Tina, what do you love about playing her? TA: Tina is so open and wants to learn more and that’s magic. I also love the relationship between Tina and Gemma [played by Beth Behrs ]. It’s not often that we see a white woman and a Black woman be friends [as equals] and have this organic relationship. We’ve gotten such a great response to them and it’s refreshing to see people from totally different ethnic backgrounds getting along and having fun with one another. HB: I recently saw that you have Beth have also become good friends in real-life too. TA: Our friendship has truly impacted my life. We have so much fun together and we are not afraid to ask each other questions. If there is something in the script [about white people] I just do not understand, I will ask her, “Beth, what is this? What is froyo?” [Laughs] And she’ll tell me it means “frozen yogurt.” And I’m like, “Oh, that’s a white girl thing.” We just laugh. But she is so kind-hearted and loud and she can even twerk. HB: The two of you are the queens of physical comedy on the show with Beth recently telling PEOPLE that she looks at y’all as Lucy and Ethel from “I Love Lucy.” TA: Ha! I’d say we are more Laverne and Shirley. But we LOVE physical comedy and to be able to do that on this show is incredible. We both were class clowns as little kids and Beth is so fearless. So to be able to act with someone who is the same way as you is amazing. And I can get wild. Like they will tell me on set, “Tichina relax, calm down!” But I can’t help it.

A post shared by Beth Behrs (@bethbehrs) on Apr 14, 2019 at 7:38am PDT HB: Why do you love to make people laugh? TA: When I was a little girl, in order in get out of trouble, I used to make my mother laugh so she wouldn’t punish me for whatever thing I had done. Then I realized that I loved to act a fool and make my family crack up. I truly believe that laughter is a wonderful gift and helps us live longer. HB: So…good news: “The Neighborhood” got picked up for a second season! Congrats. TA: Thank you! We were so happy and shocked, because with TV you just never know! But we’re ready for next season. HB: If you could have anyone guest star next season, who would it be? TA: Ooooh… Rita Morena ! I was able to act with her in “Happily Divorced.” She’s fantastic. Also, Garret Morris —who was on “Martin” with me and “Two Broke Girls” with Beth. It would be a little family reunion! We had Marla Gibbs on the show before and I like people like Marilu Henner (from “Taxi” and “Evening Shade”), actors who are established and have had long careers on TV. It’s always good to see them still working, because trust: Actors love to work. View this post on Instagram Try to #BeHappy with who you are… just ignore your friend screaming while you do it. Lmao at @johnnywright220 A post shared by TICHINA ARNOLD (@tichinaarnold) on Mar 26, 2019 at 6:56am PDT HB: Finally, looking at your 36-year career, did you ever expect you would be here? TA: I was pigeonholed for a minute in my career and not a lot people know that I wasn’t always working over the years. It was hard, but that’s the nature of the business. You have to keep proving yourself over and over again and through the work. For me, I always knew that I had a gift to give to the world and I never gave up. And in show business, you have to love it, even when it doesn’t love you back. You just keep going on, and here I am. The Neighborhood Season 1 finale airs Monday, April 22 at 8/7c on CBS.

Sources close to production on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” tell TMZ … Monica won’t even utter Shannon Brown’s name on the show and refuses to talk about her marriage ending in front of the cameras. TMZ says their sources say her decision to keep her divorce details low has frustrated the folks in production who have been begging her to open up about her marriage in hopes of help with crafting an interesting storyline for her. We previously posted the trailer for the show, which makes it seem like Monica is open to discussion (largely because of the clip in the studio where Monica mentions never imagining being a 38-year-old single mother) but producers say that’s about all she was open to say. We’re not in the least bit surprised. Mo has always lived by a certain code and she’s not about to switch up now for reality tv. Does her decision disappoint you or do you think she’s doing the right thing? Oh and while we’re talking Monica … The singer went heavy with social media promotions Sunday and Monday, sharing photos from the video shoot of her new single “Commitment”. Check out the pics below then hit the flip for the video.
