In a trailer for an upcoming episode, the host and actress revealed she once had a threesome in her early 20s but doesn’t give the experience high marks. PEOPLE exclusively reports : “I had a threesome once. I was very, very young,” she said as her daughter, Willow Smith, covered her eyes. “Like early 20s.” The Girls Trip actress continued, “I didn’t like it. It just didn’t have the level of intimacy [I wanted]. But I tried it once and I was like, ‘Well, that’s not for me.’” She added, “But I always think if I was in love with two people, that’s another level. I could see and join a threesome then, but I was a kid. I saw two cute people and I was like, ‘Hey.’” Her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, replied, “[It was] a sexual experiment.” Check out the clip of the chat courtesy of PEOPLE’s exclusive coverage below. — Photo: WENN
Lil Nas followed up Old Town Road with a new single. The chorus interpolates Nirvana’s 1992 single In Bloom. Honestly the progression of Lil Nas X is astounding. On Old Town Road he was a bit stubborn and said “you can’t tell me nothing”. But now on Panini he’s saying “say to me what you want from me”, completely open to outside opinions. The growth is crazy. He also really knows how to troll people on twitter. PANINI OUT NOW EARLY!!! EP DROPS TONIGHT!!! pic.twitter.com/m9N08GaDpl — nope (@LilNasX) June 20, 2019 me making panini short to increase streams pic.twitter.com/1nT9NQscUt — nope (@LilNasX) June 20, 2019

Source: Paras Griffin/Jeff Kravitz / Getty Jess Hilarious Vents Over Kountry Wayne Situation Jess Hilarious had some stuff to get off of her chest last night, pretty obviously pertaining to her real life. The comedian posted and deleted a rant about a familiar situation involving a married man: “You ever been in a situation where you just rushing to find love so you jump and get married? But THEN you find your soul mate?” Jess said about the situation. “So now you leave her, get with somebody else, and 4 months later ya’ll break up. So now you looking dumb. Then you get to thinking to yourself ‘maybe this b-tches soul wasn’t what I thought it was cracked up to be.’ Maybe that’s why you should’ve cheated with her first. Like a test run, just to see.” Interesting, because Jess Hilarious and married stand up comedian Kountry Wayne dated earlier this year. They went public with their relationship in January but called it quits officially at the end of April. The four-month relationship ended on good terms according to both parties. During their courtship, Kountry Wayne gifted Jess a house . Recently, he’s been back to focusing on his career and his 9 children, but did he return to his wife? Happy Father's Day pic.twitter.com/CcVFpcwyuU — Kountry Wayne (@kountry_wayne) June 16, 2019 Jess seemingly confirms that Wayne maybe working things out with Gena , his legal wife. She continued her bit about a confused man: “Everything be good in the beginning but then you find she [your soulmate] smoke, but you don’t smoke…she drink, you don’t drink…you vegan, so you eat plants, she don’t…she rolls them up. So, now you see your wife’s soul may be a little better. She just got boring for a second. But that’s why you say ‘for better or for worse’. When the going gets rough you can’t just go around auditioning for souls like it’s a damn TV show. Stay with your wife.” Interesting! Fun fact, Kountry Wayne is a proud vegan who doesn’t drink or smoke. He also refrains from cursing in his acts. Comments started pouring in on Jess’ take on this and she eventually deleted the rant, but you can catch a part of it HERE.

Beyoncé and Donald Glover –also known as Childish Gambino — aren’t the only A list stars in this movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor will voice Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and Alfre Woodard Sarabi. James Earl Jones makes a return as the voice of Simba, fittingly so. Elton John, Beyoncé, and Tim Rice will team up to create a song for the end credits of the film. The movie will be scored, or composed, by Hans Zimmer, he scored the original movie in 1994 but was hesitant to do the remake citing, “I have worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement.” Ultimately, he decided to do the remake because he felt as though it was his place to try a big experiment, and create a performance. The remake of The Lion King is set to premiere on July 19.

A few weeks ago a Lil Durk that was on the lam from authorities dropped an unexpected track dubbed “Turn Myself In” and then following that release – plot twist – actually turned himself into authorities. Today the just released on bail rapper dropped a visual for the prophetic cut that’s comprised of some outtakes of his concert performances, facetiming his seed and ultimately making his way down to the precinct. Stefflon Don and Lil Baby meanwhile find themselves ditching the police themselves as well as they make off with a car trunk filled with cash and turning up in a motel in the clip to “Phone Down.” Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Fatboy SSE, Nimic, and more. LIL DURK – “TURN MYSELF IN” STEFFLON DON & LIL BABY – “PHONE DOWN” FATBOY SSE – “SET IT OFF” NIMIC – “PARAMOUNT” FARID BANG, FRENCH MONTANA & KHALED – “MAGHREB GANG” EMOTIONAL ORANGES – “GOOD TO ME”
Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer When white designers replicate one another, intentionally or otherwise, they are called derivative, and uninspired. When they copy Black designers , they are rewarded for their efforts with the cloak of invisibility that shrouds Black women. This week Instagram learned of yet another Black fashion designer being forced to watch their creativity line the pockets of others. Fe Noel , who has been using her Caribbean heritage to create, elegant staples and lush statement pieces for years, posted side by side images of pants she designed for a previous collection with those presented by designer Ulla Johnson. Beneath the image she anticipated the fury of her followers writing, “I’ll let you be the judge.” Social media did not disappoint quickly pointing out that the similarities between the items appeared to be more than coincidental. That didn’t stop Net-A-Porter from charging $395 for them. This happens all the time and when everyone is forwarding the offending image or video to their timelines, they are rarely discussing how it occurs over and over. Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer These incidents take place because while mainstream retailers love to scope out the trends set by Black artists and consumers they don’t pay as close attention to the people behind them. The question of whether or not Ulla Johnson had seen Noel’s design prior to creating her pant is just one part of the equation. Whether or not any one at Net-A-Porter has ever bothered to look any the beautiful lookbooks presented by Noel season after season is another. In order for Black designers, Black editors, Black writers, Black stylists, and Black writers to flourish people have to quit stalling their research at their immediate circles. This is not someone who is obscure or unknown. She is a design powerhouse who is gaining hard won steam every season and she deserves to be seen and respected. Source: laven Vlasic/Getty Images / (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images) It’s not hard to imagine that the buyer would have noticed if Johnson presented an option that was reminiscent of one of the many identical blonde Brooklynites lining the walls of Bloomingdales. They should be just as familiar with Black designers who are making strides. Noel has been featured in Vogue multiple times. She was one of three designers who teamed up with Lebron James and Harlem’s Fashion Row for a historic Nike collaboration. Her aesthetics is consistent and easily recognizable to anyone interested in paying attention. The work of the Fe Noels of the world should be celebrated beyond the black community because they’re stylish, they’re important, and more often than not they were probably here first. Editors Note: HelloBeautiful reached out to both Fe Noel and representatives for Ulla Johnson regarding the similarities in the designs. Neither party responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. DON’T MISS: Will Rihanna’s Deal With LVMH Be The Key To More Black Women In Fashion?
