Source: Paras Griffin/FayesVision/WENN / Getty Da Brat Doubles Down On LisaRaye’s Nicole Murphy Comments Da Brat’s got MORE to say when it comes to Nicole Murphy’s alleged married man shenanigans. As previously reported Brat alleged that Nicole chased after her sister LisaRaye’s (now ex) husband Michael Misick and LisaRaye said it was “absolutely true” and hinted that Nicole’s a “homewrecker.” “Tha’s true, absolutely true. She messed around with my husband,” said the actress. “We’ve all done something we regret but when you do it and start being messy enough to do it to family?! I don ‘t know if she’s a homewrecker or not but I know what she’s doing to homes is wrecking it.” Now Brat’s doubling down and claiming that her sister has RECEIPTS to prove that Nicole indeed meddled in har marriage. Brat and the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show” were on hand for a live taping in Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio for the Cincinnati Music Festival. And when comedienne Luenell joked that “People said LisaRaye was lying [about Nicole Murphy]”, Brat clapped back. “She has receipts, she got pictures, text messages, she got emails,” said Brat according to BOSSIP spies. “She don’t want it with us! We from the Chi!” WELP! It might be wise for Nicole to let Brat and LisaRaye continue their chatter before this situation gets evennnnn messier. Source: Rick Diamond/Wire Image / Getty
Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Algee Smith Reflects On McKay’s Euphoria Episode In New Interview When BOSSIP spoke to Euphoria star Algee Smith last month, he hinted at a specific scene in the show that made him particularly uncomfortable to shoot. I won’t give it away but I have this scene in one episode and it really challenged me as a man to do that scene. It was an uncomfortable scene for me, but I had to learn how to separate myself and just be the actor because someone might be dealing with that type. I had to get over my masculinity issues, as a black man we often have to realize it’s okay to be in this position for a minute. It’s not something that makes you less of a man but some things we just don’t feel comfortable with, like some men don’t feel okay crying. The episode of the series that focused on his character, Christopher McKay, aired last week, which also featured the scene that Smith was referencing above. The shocking turn of events had everyone talking, confused on what really went down when McKay was attacked by a group of fraternity members during an intimate moment with his girlfriend, Cassie. Algee Smith spoke to Complex following the episode causing an uproar to talk about his experience filming, what really happened in that scene, and what we can expect for McKay in the future. On what actually went down in that McKay scene: When I first read that in the script, I [wasn’t] comfortable at first because I thought it was just too much but he’s not harassed in the way that everybody thinks; it’s a hazing thing, [but] people think he’s getting raped or whatever. It’s like, nah, that’s just like messing with him, pinning him down, but the way it really looks on TV, it looks really dark. So I could see how people would think that because the editing made it look so dark. People just don’t know how to respond, [which is] really good though—when people don’t know, they ask questions. That keeps the conversation going. On Euphoria’s reception overall: The demographic is so wide, everyone is being targeted. So you got mothers and fathers who are talking, you got teenagers, you got college students, you got older people, you got the LBGTQ [community] that we’re talking to. We’re talking to everyone. We don’t [pull] any punches and I think that’s the great thing about it, we can relate to everyone. On his favorite episode of the series so far: I’m going to say my favorite was [“The Next Episode”], that’s where I feel like, just because knowing the work that went into it, and knowing how proud I made our director, I would say my episode is probably my favorite so far, but they’ve all been crazy. Everyone was getting crazy and there’s cliffhangers with everyone. On where Algee sees himself 5 years from now: I can see myself very well balancing my acting and my music. I can see myself touring. You’re going to consistently hear me on the radio, on the speaker, and on your screen. That’s my goals, be consistent just keep doing what I’m doing at a high level, getting better every year. With Euphoria already being renewed for season 2 just a few episodes in, there’s no question that this series is going to tell a lot of interesting stories in the future–and Algee is just as excited as we are.

Everything we know about the iPhone 11: Smart Frame, Taptic Engine details, more https://t.co/K5u20u5jUZ by @ChanceHMiller pic.twitter.com/vPeFpvs4bP — 9to5Mac.com (@9to5mac) July 24, 2019 Like last year’s iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, Apple will be announcing three new iPhone 11 models at an event this fall. According to 9To5Mac , the iPhone 11 will feature the company’s new A13 chip under the hood and will be bringing back the lighting port despite rumors of moving away from it. All three iPhone 11 models will feature the same screen resolution of its predecessors, Two of them will have 3x OLED Retina display. The “Max” version of the iPhone 11 will have a 2x Liquid Retina display. The iPhone 11 will also be moving away from 3D Touch reportedly and will introduce a new type of Taptic Engine codenamed leap haptics. 9To5Mac reports that changes introduced with iOS 13 and a combination of hardware improvements will make the transition from 3D Touch to the new Haptic Touch a smooth one. The goal is not to make customers upset about losing what they have grown accustomed too. As for the most essential feature, the camera, the iPhone 11 will have significant upgrades in that department. YES, that eye-sore, the raised box on the back of the phone will house the cameras. Bloomberg broke the news the extra space in the box will be occupied by a camera that is capable of capturing wide-angle photos. The new camera will have a new feature called Smart Frame. It will reportedly allow users to make adjustments to the framing or “perform automatic perspective and crop corrections in post.” The extra information will be deleted automatically for privacy reasons. The iPhone 11’s front-facing camera will also be upgraded and will add support for slo-mo recording at 120fps. So does these rumored upgrades get you excited for the iPhone 11?

Part of the deal includes a dedicated station as well as curated music playlists and collabs with talent. Reportedly, Drake holds the distinction of being the most-streamed artist of all time, so it only makes sense for SiriusXM and Pandora to link up with the 6 God. Drake previously hosted OVO Sound Radio on Apple Music, but there are no specifics on the exact type of programming he will be contributing to Sirius XM just yet. Sirius XM acquired Pandora in a reportedly $3.5M deal late last year, and the merger was finalized at the top of 2019. The creative partnership with Drizzy is there first major foray as one company.

A$AP Rocky was arrested in Sweden earlier this month in connection to an incident in which two men were allegedly assaulted by his crew. Rocky has been in jail for weeks and has just now been formally charged with assault. In the last few days Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump have both been involved with trying to get Rocky freed (Trump, probably to make it seem like he’s not a racist). Last night, Trump tweeted out more support for Rocky while Twitter continued to remind everyone that A$AP is the same person who didn’t really care about Black Lives Matter and Ferguson . trump to asap rocky pic.twitter.com/glhN9TP3EI —
In the wake of Amber Portwood’s arrest for felony domestic violence , multiple relevant questions have been bantered about by fans. Foremost among them? Will the Teen Mom OG star get fired by MTV? We’ve even asked readers to vote on this topic in the following poll: And the Winner is? Yes, she’s a menace! Click Here To Vote for YES No, give her a break! Click Here To Vote for NO Facing a trio of felony assault charges, should Amber Portwood be fired by MTV? View Poll » Based on what transpired on Thursday, however, it doesn’t appear as if Portwood is leaving the network any time soon. In fact, it almost appears as if she’s set to become an even more prominent player. As previously reported, Portwood attendeed a hearing yesterday in which she finally received a tiny bit of positive news: the no-contact order granted three weeks ago by a judge has been removed and she’s now permitted to spend time with her son. Under professional supervision, that is. (Elsewhere, the no-contact order against boyfriend Andrew Glennon remains in place; Amber cannot go near him.) Portwood is next due in court on August 22, during which time the next step in Glennon’s request to obtain full custody of 14-month old James will be addressed. Meanwhile, TMZ and other outlets have confirmed that MTV cameras were very much present and rolling outside of the Marion County courthouse when Portwood entered and exited on July 25. Teen Mom OG co-stars Catelynn Lowell, Maci Bookout and Cheyenne Floyd were all on hand; along with Amber’s ex, Gary Shirley and his new wife, Kristina. Were they there to offer support of their own free will? Or were they basically ordered to fly in by show producers who wanted to capture footage for a future episode? Nearly every sign points to the latter — which is understandable, we suppose, considering that Teen Mom chronicles the lives of these women and this is the main thing going on in Amber’s life right now. But it’s also sort of icky, isn’t it? To turn Portwood’s very serious domestic assault charge and custody battle into fodder for a TV show? Amber, of course, was arrested for domestic battery on July 5 after Glennon contacted police and claimed she hit him with a shoe while he was holding their child. She also allegedly wielded a machete during the incident and swallowed a bunch of pills prior to throwing them back up. Insiders have alleged that Portwood will be fired by MTV if the machete part of this story ends up being true, especially considering her history of violence — and even her history of threatening to quit Teen Mom last year because she was annoyed at how she was portrayed on the series. As for how her friends feel about these felony charges? “There is always two sides to every story… u r only hearing one side sooo [peace] out I love you @AmberLPortwood I’m on my way to you now,” Catelynn wrote on Wednesday, garnering some backlash and then adding: “I DO NOT condone abuse! I AM supporting a friend in need! That’s what friends are for. “When I went through all my crazy mental illness stuff my friend helped, [she] supported me, and loved me!!! And I’m going to do the same!” That’s a sweet sentiment, but: Can you imagine the reaction if gender roles were reversed. Can you imagine how folks would (rightfully) react if a male reality star were showing this sort of support for another male reality star accused of attacking his significant other? According to The Ashley, MTV really isn’t sure how to handle Amber’s ongoing legal drama . “The girls were technically done filming for the season, but this is obviously such a big part of Amber’s current story, it has to be documented,” one source told this well-connected website, adding: “What they do with the footage is still up in the air.” Seems impossible to believe it won’t air, right? Throughout all of this courtroom drama, meanwhile, Amber and Andrew are now battling over whether or not he cheated on her.

When Jersey Shore ‘s famous gang of guidos decided to spend a few days at a dude ranch in the Adirondacks, they had no idea what the outcome of Mike Sorrentino’s sentencing hearing would be. Now, of course, we know that Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months behind bars for tax fraud. He’ll likely be released to a halfway house sometime in the next six weeks, but at the time of the random mountain vacation and the heartwarming “ranchelor party,” Mike’s future seemed uncertain — and a little bit scary. But in the meantime, the guidos decided to handle the situation the same way they handle every situation — by partying, of course. Unfortunately, there was some disagreement as to what sort of party should take place. Party games and a surprise visit from Mike’s fiancee, or strippers, strippers, and more strippers? Bizarrely, the crew decided to do both, and somehow — it worked out. Lauren Pesce (or “Laurens,” as she’s known on the show, for some reason) didn’t seem bothered by the presence of every stripper in the Tri-State area, and she and Mike eventually made their way to their own cabin, complete with rose petals on the bed and a pair of assless chaps. (Serious question: Is “assless chaps” a redundancy? Is there any other kind of chap?) There were other developments, of course, including Snooki getting so plowed there were times when it looked like we were about to witness a death by alcohol poisoning. But the big drama of the night came when Ronnie Ortiz-Magro decided to ask Jenni Farley about her relationship. Farley was going through a divorce at the time and clearly had no interest in discussing the matter with Ron — or anyone, for that matter. And yet, he persisted — operating under the logic that if she had such strong opinions about his tumultuous relationship with Jen Harley , then her relationship should be fair game, as well. “That’s how you fell in love, right?” Ron asked Jenni referring to Mike and Laurens. “I don’t want to be on camera with this,” said an unusually taciturn JWoww. “It’s already out there, so just…” he replied. “We don’t talk about it here, though,” she promptly interrupted. It may seem a bit unbalanced, but Jenni may have made it clear that her relationship was off-limits for her discussion on the show, which makes Ron quite the d-bag for pursuing it. “You acting like you feel nothing? That doesn’t work for nobody ever,” he later said while opening up to Angelina, of all people. “Like, when me and Jen [Harley] fight, and she acts like — that makes me more mad. You know? Be real.” In the midst of a full-on Ron-page and egged on by Angelina, he continued. “Stop acting like you’re not hurting. That’s what I’m saying. Stop acting like you’re not hurting,” Ron said. “There’s no way that this man is — I know what he’s going through. To be with somebody that’s so cold and shows no emotion and is just so — and all you do is give and give and give, like, it hurts.” And in a confessional segment at the end of the show, Ron hit us with this kicker: “That’s why me and Roger [Mathews] are so close ’cause we’ve been dealing with the same person.” To be fair, this was before Jenni accused Roger of abuse , but it was still out of line. In fact, it made us rewind to the scene where Ronnie busted his ass running from a wasp in order to enjoy that slapstick 18 more times. Dude had it coming! View Slideshow: Jen Harley: What Arrest?? I’ll Be Back on Jersey Shore, You Wait!!!
