Superhero films are all the rage these days, but we haven’t seen a hero flick done quite like James Gunn’s Brightburn . Brightburn tells the story of a farm couple living in Brightburn, Kansas who has had trouble conceiving a child. One night, a meteor falls from the sky near their farm with a baby inside, so they decide to adopt him, naming him Brandon. Ten years later, Brandon discovers that he has superhuman strength, and literally, all hell breaks loose. We caught up with two of the stars from the film — David Denman who plays the father Kyle Breyer and Jackson A. Dunn who plays Brandon Breyer/Brightburn — and they dished on all things horror, working with James Gunn, and whether or not there actually is some good in even the worst people. On whether or not some people are born inherently bad: Dunn: I think it depends on someone’s upbringing and the things that affect them in life. Their trauma. It’s all about background Denman: I concur with what he said. I don’t that anyone is just purely evil. There are people who are misguided, and that’s unfortunate. But i think there’s always a balance, both things lie within a human being. Check out the full video above to see what else the cast had to say about horror films and much more. Catch Brightburn in theaters this Friday, May 24th. Tell them we sent you.

It was also a flex as the model barely looks like she’s aged. While she may have been wide-eyed and scared coming from Alabama at 19, Bailey has since taken her modeling expertise to help young girls fulfill their own modeling dreams via The Bailey Agency in Atlanta. The model is morphing into a mogul and extending her influence past her Bravolebrity. The reality tv star also has several healthy and thriving businesses, including her most recent: a partnership with Seagrams Escapes. She has a delicious peach bellini drink that is just in time for summer. Yesss! Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

Source: Chesnot / Getty This shouldn’t really come as a shocker, but according to the ever so reliable site 9to5Mac , Apple has just filed model numbers for three new handsets the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max and an upgraded version of the iPhone XR. The Apple news source reports this news with the utmost confidence being that Apple devices always show up in the Eurasian Economic Commission regulatory database usually ahead of their official announcements and releases. According to the website the 2019 iPhone models reportedly showed up in this group of model numbers A2111, A2160, A2161, A2215, A2216, A2217, A2218, A2219, A2220, A2221, and A2223. Models A2220, A2221, and A2223 more than likely represent the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max, and the upgraded XR model. Rumors are already swirling about the handsets with leaks of its new design and specs getting Apple fanatics talking and cringing at the phones new triple camera design. Per 9to5Mac : This year’s iPhones are expected to largely feature the same outside appearance as the 2018 iPhone flagships, although Apple may switch to a more matte finish for the back glass. In addition to upgrades like bilateral wireless charging for AirPods and the more powerful Apple A13 chip, it looks like the 2019 iPhones will focus on camera upgrades. Apple is adding an extra camera to both the XR and the XS; the 2019 iPhone XR will feature a dual-camera module and the iPhone 11 and 11 Max will feature a triple-camera system for the first time. The iPhone will seemingly include a larger, square camera bump to accommodate the new cameras. The additional lens in the triple-camera system is believed to be an ultra-wide camera made by Sony, expanding the range of zoom available in the iPhone Camera app. Apple may also use computer vision technology to blend data from each of the three cameras together to take more-detailed photos at a standard zoom level. The front-facing camera will also be upgraded to take better quality shots. Apple is currently playing catch up with Samsung and Google , whose current flagship phone models are ahead of the curve with their new camera systems. You can expect Apple to pull the lid off its new iPhones at a fall media event sometime in September. — Photo: Chesnot / Getty

Admit it — Black millennials have turned social media the into a sort of daily family reunion, where we hurl jokes, plan events, help each other out, and speak to issues that affect our community the most. The best part about Black Twitter is that it tends to give you a laugh no matter what circumstances or depressing news has been thrown your way for that day. Even the most darkest days when you feel like you don’t deserve to laugh, you can find a great gem on the right person’s timeline. @Aponchonegro: Black twitter really let ppl in on the inside jokes of the black community. But they will never understand our struggle @Smooth_Orator: Twitter is really big. Like, really big. And segregated like sh**. We joke about Black Twitter and the online community aspect but trust me, it’s “neighborhoods” on this app yeen never seen.” This week, the hilarity ensued with folks taking lyrics from classic songs, and flipping it to mean whatever they want it to mean.
