Keke Palmer addressed the Trey Songz situation for what she says is the last time, telling hosts of WGCI Chicago’s Morning Takeover that the Virginia singer was lying when he gave his version of events to the Breakfast Club earlier this month. Do you think that Keke should have left the situation alone being that she said she was over it? Or do you think she was right to respond since Trey had such a large platform when he called her a liar? Who do you believe? Also Keke mentions other women reaching out to her saying he treated them inappropriately as well — do you think Trey may have a larger issue on his hands? As for their friendship, do you believe it was salvageable before he did the “Breakfast Club” interview or was it already a wrap? The situation seems so hard to judge without actually being there WENN
Someone we actually like… Janelle Monae Covers ‘Los Angeles Confidential’ One of our favorites is celebrating making the cover of a magazine. “Hidden Figures/Moonlight” bae Janelle Monae was chosen to cover ‘ LA Confidential’s ‘ latest issue. The award-winning actress and singer/songwriter told the publication that she got her role in “Moonlight” after missing out on a role in “Star Trek.” “I don’t know if a lot of people know this,” she told Los Angeles Confidential. “but I auditioned for Star Trek prior to Moonlight. The casting director saw my tape and told [Moonlight director] Barry Jenkins about me. I didn’t get the part in Star Trek, but that’s why Barry reached out to me. And the rest is history.” She also spoke on the importance of taking on roles of characters considered “outcasts.” “I love telling these sorts of stories that give voice to those who are oftentimes uncelebrated, to those who don’t feel like they have a voice in America,” says Monáe of the characters central to both films—Moonlight’s Chiron, whom Monáe’s Teresa supports as a mother figure, and Hidden Figures’ Katherine Johnson, played by Taraji P. Henson; Octavia Spencer’s Dorothy Vaughn; and the high-voltage Mary Jackson, Monáe’s first starring film role. “These are characters who are considered to be outcast in society because of their sexual identity, gender, or race,” she says. “I think that these two movies have opened up a new door to the possibilities of telling more unique stories.” Most recently Janelle celebrated her cover with CÎROC Vodka who partnered with Los Angeles Confidential to roll out the red carpet for her. Janelle was spotted at Palihouse West Hollywood for the celebration toasting with CÎROC French 75, an official cocktail of the 2017 Governor’s Ball. “Los Angeles Confidential magazine and CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka celebrate the Spring Oscars issue with Janelle Monáe at Palihouse West Hollywood” Don’t you just love her????
