Source: David Wolff – Patrick / Getty A$AP Rocky is still awaiting trial in a Swedish prison with several reports stating the conditions were less than satisfactory, and contact with the rapper has been minimal. The U.S. State Department has weighed in on the ordeal of the A$AP Mob star in a new statement. POLITICO reports : A State Department spokesperson said that the department is aware of the case and that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been briefed. Top officials at the department, including Robert O’Brien, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, are also closely monitoring the situation and working to make sure the rapper is treated fairly. “There are certainly some facts about the arrest and detention that raise concerns,” the spokesperson said. “We expect all governments, including Sweden, to treat American citizens fairly and with respect. … We hope to see ASAP Rocky and his colleagues back on tour and reunited with friends and family soon.” Swedish prosecutors must decide by Friday whether to charge Rocky, who is being held in solitary confinement, or ask a court to let them hold him longer. Despite video evidence that shows Rocky and his crew did not initiate the altercation, Swedish officials are still struggling with how to approach the case under the legal system. — Photo: Getty

Monday morning on his Instagram, Hilfiger released a video revealing the new location and collection. View this post on Instagram @thomasjhilfiger has exciting news! Sound on and find out where #TOMMYNOW and @zendaya are headed next. #TommyXZendaya A post shared by Tommy Hilfiger (@tommyhilfiger) on Jul 15, 2019 at 1:00am PDT The post entices people to “Sound on and find out where #TOMMYNOW and @zendaya are heading next.” This is not the first #TommyXZendaya collection, the 22-year-old partnered with the famous American designer this past Spring for their debut TommyNow collection featuring jewel tone dresses, (also available in ‘curve’), leather bags, aviator sunglasses, 70s style jeans, and more. Source: Victor VIRGILE / Getty Her next collection with the designer will debut this fall at fashion week. They chose the legendary Apollo Theatre on historical 125th Street for the occasion. According to an official release from the brand, Zendaya was the one who was inspired to show the collection in Harlem. ” Via statement Hilfiger said, “Zendaya’s desire to bring TommyNow to Harlem felt like an amazing next step in expressing her vision for the future.” He continued, “Her statement making point of view in everything she does is what makes her such an inspiring collaborator – it is an honor to continue to provide her with a platform in the fashion industry to share this.” Incredible and empowering. With such a historical location, there’s no doubt that that will serve as some inspiration for the collection. The brand will derive creativity from prior performers on the big stage including Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, Ella Fitzgerald and more. This is sure to be a show to remember. The Apollo is known for not only starting prominent Black performers careers, but also catapulting them into stardom. We rub the Tree of Hope in support of the big stage doing the same for Zendaya in her pursuits! The show will take place on September 8th, 2019.

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The summer is going to be getting extremely hotter. Megan Thee Stallion and iconic music video director Hype Williams are teaming up to bring the hotties cinematic heat. The “Realer” rapper is showing no signs of taking her cowboy boot off summer’s neck. Yesterday, Megan The Stallion dropped the teaser for her ‘Fever: Thee Movie’ which was directed by the widescreen king Hype Williams. The 25-second clip gives fans a taste of what to expect from the X-rated film which seems to take its cues from 70’s blaxploitation movies is full of cameos from the likes of the Da Baby — who linked up with Meg on her next single “Cash Sh*t” — off her album Fever, Juicy J and more. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Megan Thee Stallion moment if there aren’t any booties and twerking involved for the hotties to enjoy. View this post on Instagram Megan Thee Stallion X Hype Williams FEVER thee MOVIE coming soon A post shared by Hot Girl Meg (@theestallion) on Jul 14, 2019 at 4:38pm PDT Consider our senses tantalized. While no date has been revealed, Meg promises the movie is “coming soon.” Thee Stallion is having a great summer, she was named to XXL’s highly debated Freshman Class , hit Hot 97’s Summer Jam main stage, named Apple Music’s Up Next Artist and just recently made her network television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live . Megan’s list of accomplishments will only continue to grow. We are definitely looking forward to this movie though, it looks like nothing but the real hot girl sh*t we have come to expect from the Texas rapper. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

Snoop Dogg showed that he lead with love when he made good with his former CEO. As spotted on HipHopDX the West Coast legend has more heart than most. In what seemed like a beef that would never see resolution Snoop Dogg famously made peace with Suge Knight back in 2016. He is giving the former Deathrow Records executive some flowers while he can still smell them on his upcoming LP I Want Thank Me . Fellow Los Angeles MC Crooked I paid him a visit at the studio for the newest episode of Crook’s Corner. After playing him an unnamed track saluting Marion, Crooked got Snoop to discuss the direction he took on the song. “I want to showcase the positive side. Like, ni***s being CEOs, having their own sh*t and being able to do [their] thing” he explained. He went to further commend his ex boss. “He showed ni***s a different mentality, that you can be the owner — you could be a boss. You got to highlight that; they ain’t never going to highlight it. They’ll take credit for that too.” He also made it clear that he has no ill will to him now. “I ain’t never hated him. You know, that they really tried to do whatever they tried to do to me [but], I don’t have that in me, that ain’t in my system.” You can view the clip below. Photo: Eugene Powers / WENN.com

She’s also made a name for herself behind the scenes as an experienced producer employing her fellow model friends. Sasha Payton was “born and raised a city girl” but the model and producer didn’t find true inspiration until she stripped away the constant hustle of home. In an exclusive interview with Hello Beautiful revealed her motivation for rejecting the New York rat race to live in the city of lights . “I was working for a company in fashion production and I had been working for them for quite some time,” explained Payton. The former CUNY student who had pursued her education while working in high end retail full time was seeking a leg up in the company when she felt a personal shift taking place. “I was like really fighting for a certain position. I felt like things weren’t really going the way I wanted to. I finally got the position and at that time I had already decided I was going to move from New York.” Source: Gilad Sasporta (@giladsasporta) / Photo Credit: Gilad Sasporta (@giladsasporta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv13sWBFoVB/Leaving a coveted position in one of the most competitive cities in the world might have scared some but after finding clarity in West Africa, Payton was left doubt free. “I made this decision when I took a trip to Senegal and I was in a pretty like really disconnected place, I mean around people that are living really simple. They didn’t have technology around them. I had my cellphone but there was no service. So, I was able to kind of remove and really think what kind of changes I wanted to have in my life. Did I really want to continue to stress and like fight for something that kind of made me happy but there was room to be more happy? Did I want to continue on this New York City 9-5?” View this post on Instagram Such an honor to walk for @Koche What an amazing show!

As she was discovering who she was, an adult, the French Caribbean mother she had spent her childhood caring for was slipping away.

When I returned back to New York it was a really, really difficult time. She ended up passing a few months after that and all of that kind of contributed to my decision of really living my life. I grew up taking care of my mom, you know and this kind of life change really makes you think what you really want to do, how you want to spend your time. There were many factors that went into it but that was kind of the main decision being on my own, being able to remove myself from social media and what everyone else’s idea of happiness was and really understand what I wanted for myself.” Payton had no idea that pursuing what she wanted would lead her to a life of bringing designer’s visions to life not only behind the scenes but on the runway as well.

On set I was actually getting the models in line and going through the practice when a model, her name is actually Deborah Shaw, she’s my mentor I love her, she was like ‘what are you doing with that headset on? You need to be in line! You’re not walking? What? You don’t model?’” Shaw had no clue that Payton had briefly entertained a career in model back in the states as a teen. “I tried going to the agencies. I tried paying for photoshoots which I shouldn’t have necessarily out of my pocket. I tried working with some photographers some great and some just like okay this is kind of like pointless.” View this post on Instagram Outside the Lines A beauty story by @ineslongevial @fionatorre & @laurenkennedymalpas for @russhmagazine live now @sashapayton_ @vanessakroupa @quentinguyen @masae.ito @reggiegigi . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . . #magazine #editorial #photography#portrait #ootd #style #stylist #look #hair#beauty #beautiful #art #paint #painting#paris #artist #draw #makeup #diy#girlboss A post shared by Sasha (@sashapayton_) on Apr 21, 2018 at 8:56am PDT Without the support or wisdom, she needed to weather the storm she soon defected for what she saw as a steadier course she was just as passionate about. “My parents they’re Caribbean they definitely weren’t really with that. It’s not a job to be a model for them or at least not at that time.

They really need good people around them, people to support them because it can be a tough industry and I don’t know that I would have been ready then.” “You hear the word ‘no’ a lot and you don’t realize it from the outside, like an outsider wouldn’t understand it. They just think it’s beautiful and glamorous but in order to get that one job, in order to get signed, in order to get whatever that major thing is it’s so much hours and hours so much work that went into it even into this one yes. I think I wasn’t ready for that and I wish someone had told me that like ‘Yea you were told no by this agency but you need to go back in 6 months because you’re gonna grow and you’re gonna change and if they say no try another one.

I’ve had to bring my products to shows. I would say on set people have been doing a really good job making sure the person is knowledgeable and well-rounded in afro hair, but it’s been mixed. I’ve had some really interesting experiences. I’ve definitely had my hair burnt I was asked to come in hours earlier so that they can start on straightening my hair to them end up having a water based gel put on it so then it curled right back up and then that person attempted to put a flat iron back onto my hair.” View this post on Instagram My second look for today's @facetasmtokyo show . . . #model #modelbehavior #pfw #style #pfwm #parisfashionweek #runway #beauty #beautiful #hair #makeup A post shared by Sasha (@sashapayton_) on Jun 20, 2018 at 2:51pm PDT She often refers to her ‘catalog’ of professionals when openings for gigs appear. “So, it’s like ‘Okay I remember him. Let’s work with him on this project because we need someone who knows what they’re doing on set.’’’ Payton looks forward to extending her catalog to different countries. She is seeking representation in Milan and Japan as well as other locations so that her modeling career can afford her the chance to grow her production business. “It’s cool to see your friends and put them on the runway and let them see you in a different light.

CBS are a major network…but they are also softcore pornographers that produce smut as clickbait to get people to watch their nonsense in order to sell ads against their shit…or at last sign up to their streaming app since no one has cable anymore, so take it to the people direct…10 years or even 15 years after they probably should have. All these big media companies – so late to the game…but maybe it’s called all access like all those porn member sites of the late 90s…back when CBS should have been building out their online strategy…I mean 2019 and still losing to Netflix you billion dollar companies fucking suck at taking the fuck over. Slow fucks dot com should be the name of their app….and funny enough I don’t think NBC even has an app out yet…slackers. In their pornography production, they have this Bella Heathcote who is a 32 year old Australian from Neighbors, the show where any famous Australian was recruited from, in what I’ve assumed is the Australian equivalent of the IDF, where at 18 each citizen has to partake in the show….and some like Margot Robbie move to the USA and use their tits to get famous and I guess Bella Heathcote is on the same hustle..cuz her are her tits.
