JoAni Johson is dispelling the myth of high fashion models needing to be young and supple to get booked. The booked and busy 67-year-old recently slayed the campaign for Rihanna’s LVMH FENTY line launch. Rihanna handpicked the senior-aged model herself to help push boundaries with the imagery in her inaugural FENTY luxury line campaign. The teaser, which features Rih as the director, indicates that FENTY is for everyone regardless of age, size, race, and gender. JoAni Johnson is hair GOALS. Her hair is gorgeous.

Jordin Sparks is the latest celeb to reveal that she battled postpartum depression after giving birth to her first child, Dana Isaiah, Jr. “Everybody knows about what postpartum depression is — maybe not exactly what it all entails because it’s different for each woman — but there’s this thing called the fourth trimester, which happens after you have your baby,” she told Us Weekly. “It’s dealing with everything that happens with your body. Your body goes and changes, your hormones are absolutely insane.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Sparks pointed out that battling depression after giving birth can be a lonely experience. Since no one knows how you’re feeling, no one is rushing to comfort you. “Then you’re dealing with this baby and then something doesn’t go right. … We’ve got tons of people to hold the baby, but who hold us? Who hold us together? Who helps us get through all that stuff? Obviously, people in your family who knows what you’ve been through and had kids before, but sometimes it feels hard to reach out because you’re like, ‘How do I feel so lonely when this amazing thing just happened?’” The former American Idol contestant said she began to lean on one of her friends who was also a new mother. She said contacting her and just talking about how she was feeling that day was helpful because she understood how she felt. “I would talk to her and be like, ‘I feel like this today. Sorry, I just needed to let you know. And she’d be like, ‘No, I understand. That was me yesterday.’ I’d be like, ‘Oh, God. Thanks. OK. Good. I know I’m not the only one.’” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Cardi B also said after giving birth she noticed changes in her mood that she didn’t expect. “When Kulture was born, I felt like I was a kid again; everything was making me cry, and I needed a lot of love,” she told W Magazine. “I be feeling like, Do babies know who’s they mom? I feel like babies love whoever is giving them the milk, and I want to give the milk the whole time. I want her to know me. I feel better now, but sometimes I just feel so vulnerable, like I’m not ready for the world yet. It’s weird.” Sparks’ son is now one-year-old.

During an appearance on David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, the 61-year-old talk show host opened up about being a sexual assault survivor. Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BALTIMORE to 24042 to join! She said her stepfather waited until her mother, Betty DeGeneres was out of town to touch her inappropriately, saying he needed to feel her breasts because he’d found a lump in her mother’s breasts and needed to check hers. This occurred when the Emmy award winner was around 15 to 16 years old. DeGeneres said she’s still angry with herself for not standing up to who she said was a “very bad man.” She’s telling her story now because it bothers her when women come forward about their sexual assault experiences and are shamed or blamed. She hopes opening up publicly will encourage other women to do the same.

Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty If you need to catch a quick buzz in the internet age all you’ve got to do is leak some nude photos. Well, if you’re a woman. If you’re a man leaking your own nudes may in fact get you a prison sentence…. and rightfully so. Check out this story that just broke yesterday about Iggy Azalea’s secret pictures that aren’t so secret anymore. Via | HipHopDX Iggy Azalea apparently deleted her Instagram and Twitter accounts after nude photos of her were leaked online. She made the move on Monday (May 27), just one day after the breach of privacy. The origin of the leak appears to be from a website called The Fappening Blog. Prior to the deactivations, the “Fancy” pop star didn’t address the incident. As pointed out by US Weekly, the photos originate from a 2016 GQ Australia photo shoot with photographer Nino Munoz.

Source: @JustInMyView / R1 Digital Not many rappers have been able to survive the down years of public perception and comeback from it in the manner that Meek Mill has over the past couple of years. Over the weekend, however, his new smooth ride reportedly hit a snag, and now the rapper is planning on striking back. Check it out. Via | HotNewHipHop He also reportedly said he’s seeking “heavy monetary damages.” The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is in hot water following an incident involving Meek Mill . The rapper and his entourage arrived at the luxury hotel because they were planning to attend a DJ Mustard concert, but they were denied entry by security. In video footage of the incident, security told Meek that because of a prior incident they had with him, he was banned from entry. Meek said that no such incident ever occurred and, if so, to provide the paperwork including a date and time. The man told him he could get that information to Meek later, but for now Meek had to vacate the premises or he would be arrested for trespassing. READ MORE
Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta picks up with Scrapp, Bambi, Joc, Kendra, Shekinah, Tokyo Vanity, Kirk, and Rasheeda are headed to Trinidad, but what they don’t know is that Mimi invited Pooh. Those two will show up later, and we all know that’s going to be lots of fun when they arrive. Anyway, Karlie Redd is in charge of hosting the group since her family is from Trinidad. Spice is the reason they’re there, but Spice will be performing in The Gambia for the first leg of their shenanigans so she’ll join the fun later. Back in the states, we find Akbar V recording. Che Mack shows up to her session to inform her that Made Man got shot. Someone tried to rob him and now he’s in the hospital in intensive care. Che puts Akbar on the spot and asks if she can watch her daughter while she runs to check on him in the hospital. Che Mack explains that she’s conflicted about how to behave with him because she just moved out of the house they shared and she’s still mad at him but he’s also in a near death situation yatta yatta. Obviously, she should just go to the hospital and hope he doesn’t die. In Trinidad, Karlie makes reservations for the group at a restaurant that serves local cuisine so they can taste Trinidadian food. There’s already tension between Karlie and Shekinah, and it doesn’t help the situation when Shekinah (and also Tokyo Vanity) is knit picking the food. Karli gets annoyed and snaps at Shekinah. Then they get into it. Karlie starts yelling at Shekinah to give Trinidad a chance. Shekinah reminds Karlie that she’s actually not from Trinidad. Then Tokyo jumps in and says she needed a passport to get there just like the rest of them. Karlie says she just wants them to have a good time. Then Shekinah says she don’t eff with Pooh but she gets what she’s saying about Karlie. Karlie gets triggered hearing Pooh’s name and plays the recording of her phone conversation with Hiriam allegedly saying nothing happened between them, but the context of what Karlie played is shady so we don’t really know if that’s exactly what he’s talking about in that moment. You know how tricksie Karlie is. Plus, we already saw the convo between Pooh and Hiriam where she told him that Karlie had recorded their conversation and he said that he was lying to Karlie and saying whatever she wanted just because it’s not his style to put his dalliances out there like that. So it’s a matter of he said she said. Someone is lying. In Atlanta, Scrapp and Sierra are painting an anti-gun violence mural. They’re talking about all the gun violence they’ve experienced. Then Akbar pulls up and tells them about Che Mack’s babydaddy. Scrapp knows Che Mack, hasn’t seen her in a while but plans to check on her. Then We get back to the bs. Akbar V asks Scrapp about what was up with Moniece. He tries to downplay his relationship with her, like he does to pretty much all the women we’ve seen him with on this show. Then Sierra pulls Akbar V aside and asks her to stop beefing with all her friends. Akbar V agrees to behave herself…once again. Later on we find out that Made Man is stable and will survive. Then we cut to Scrapp walking with Che Mack. This is him checking up on her. They haven’t seen each other in a while but the story goes that they used to be close. According to Scrapp, she used to be his wingwoman. Then they start gossiping. Scrapp reveals that he feels some type of way about Stevie J because he wasn’t there for him when he was locked up. This is the perfect opportunity for Che Mack to bring up the fact that she heard that Stevie also creeping with Tommie while Scrapp was locked up. Scrapp heard that same rumor and plans to see his Uncle Stevie to discuss. We all know that means that Stevie will probably be making an appearance soon. We also know that that discussion is not going to go well. Now we’re back in Trinidad at the point where Mimi shows up with Pooh. Mimi tries to get Pooh and Karlie Redd to put their differences aside. Karlie says she needs Pooh to admit that she lied about everything she said they did. Pooh, however, goes into graphic detail and even simulates some of what allegedly happened. This obviously goes straight to hell, like we knew it would. First, it’s Karlie vs. Pooh but security shuts that down. Then Tokyo Vanity tries to get in on the fun and again security shuts that down. Mimi acts shocked that things went left with Pooh and then we get to next week when Pooh plays a recording she has of her husband saying that he lied during his convo with Karlie because he just didn’t want to put her out there. Anyway, we’ll be back at this next week. Because…drama. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Spice Wants The Crew To Join Her In Trinidad ‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Rasheeda And Kirk’s Party In The Woods Is Over
