Lil Nas X Doesn’t Have Beef With Kevin Hart Like Everyone Else Does [Video]

Posted on September 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Go here to see the original:

Source: WENN/Avalon / WENN Lil Nas X had the Internet rallying around him after a recent appearance on HBO’s The Shop alongside Kevin Hart , which some fans felt was the comedian trying to question X on his sexuality. According to the “Old Town Road” star, he says there’s no issue between him and Hart and even if there were issues, the public wouldn’t know about it. TMZ exclusively reports : The “Old Town Road” rapper says he’s not fuming about the perceived slight. While recording an interview Tuesday with DJ Scream and Moran Tha Man — for their Atlanta-based show, Hoodrich Radio! — he said, “I’m not mad at Kevin Hart.” Lil Nas really wanted that to sink in for the outrage police on the Internet … who were still going after Kevin, even after he suffered serious injuries in that car accident. Last week on HBO’s “The Shop” Nas X was asked about coming out as gay earlier this year. Before he could even get into why he came out when he did … Kevin blurted out, “He said he was gay, so what?!?” Many people found it tone-deaf. Kevin later interjected with more clarifying questions that some took as disrespect, especially in light of his past issues with the LGBTQ community. Welp, that settles that, although it’s doubtful people won’t take their feet off Kevin Hart’s neck for his past transgressions all the same. — Photo: WENN

Go here to read the rest:

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Though Def Jam, Death Row and Bad Boy were considered the 90’s biggest and baddest Hip-Hop record labels, real heads know that LOUD Records was responsible for dropping just as much classic material (if not more) as the aforementioned companies. To celebrate its 25th Anniversary, LOUD Records will be throwing a OG star-studded concert on October 11 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ dubbed LOUD Twenty-Five . Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, and Xzibit are just a few names that the house that Steve Rifkind and Rich Issacson built. They helped push the rap game forward and the sounds that they created still reverberate in the culture to this day. Slated to feature performances from LOUD alumni such as the Wu-Tang Clan, Three 6 Mafia, Mobb Deep (R.I.P. Prodigy), dead prez, Pete Rock, and a Big Pun tribute courtesy of Fat Joe and Remy Ma, the concert event is poised to become a night to remember for the heads who lived Hip-Hop’s golden era. Steve Rifkind perfectly summed up why this concert means so much to him. “This celebration means the world to me,” said Rifkind via a press statement. “LOUD was born out of a love for hip hop and a childhood fantasy. To see it grow into one of the most iconic and storied hip hop labels in history and having the opportunity to celebrate with our amazing artists 25 years later leaves me speechless about our journey.” Get tickets to the OG Hip-Hop concert of 2019 at Ticketmaster and let us know if you’re looking forward to partying like it’s nineteen ninety-something once again come October 11. View this post on Instagram Go get your tickets now special surprise guests you definitely don’t want to miss this A post shared by Steven J. Rifkind (@steverifkind) on Sep 6, 2019 at 9:52am PDT

Suit Filed Accuses Antonio Brown of Sexual Assault

Posted on September 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Continue reading here:

Antonio Brown has been accessed of sexually assaulting his former trainer, according to ESPN . A lawsuit was filed Tuesday in the Southern District of Florida. ESPN reports that the lawsuit accuses the NFL receiver of sexually assaulting his former trainer, Britney Taylor, on three separate occasions from 2017 and 2018. The first alleged incident came in June 2017, with Taylor saying Brown exposed himself and kissed her without consent. A month later, Taylor alleges in the lawsuit, Brown masturbated near her without her knowledge and ejaculated on her back, then later bragged about it in a series of text messages. And then, in May 2018, Taylor alleges that Brown “forced her down onto a bed, pushed her face into the mattress, and forcibly raped her.” Brown’s lawyer said that his client and Taylor were involved in a “consensual personal relationship. Any sexual interaction with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual.”   Source: Christian Petersen / Getty The lawsuit claims the incidents have left Taylor suffering “near-daily panic attacks and suicidal ideations.” “As a rape victim of Antonio Brown, deciding to speak out has been an incredibly difficult decision,” Taylor said in a statement. “I have found strength in my faith, my family, and from the accounts of other survivors of sexual assault.” The allegation comes after weeks of drama surrounding the All-Pro receiver, which eventually led to his release from the Raiders, and eventual signing with the New England Patriots Monday. There was no immediate comment from the Patriots or the NFL. Source: ESPN Related:  Jig Alert: Antonio Brown Signs With The New England Patriots

Who Dis? Celebs That Are Almost Unrecognizable After Their Looks Changed

Read the original post:

Source: Xilla Valentine / No Kable Productions It’s human nature to change your appearance every so often in attempt to align with how you feel inside. No wonder the classic Coco Chanel proverb that “a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life” rangs so true for so many people. The real MVPs of evolution and change are Black Women. We can go from short hair, to long waves to an afro or Box braids all in one week. The DMX Challenge is proof that we can be whoever we want, any day of the week, and still manage to look like ourselves. But what about the folks whose looks have changed so drastically that they look nothing like themselves? Like The Weeknd , whose new mustache and weird makeup job almost made him unrecognizable to fans. The Weeknd Debarge https://t.co/4Czrs8PhRH — Makayla (@LayDaye) September 10, 2019 Often times, celebs take a mini hiatus from their work, and come back looking like a whole new person. Or they start making more money and we start to notice the not so subtle adjustments they’ve made to themselves. Or, some stars adopt a much healthier lifestyle and start to lose weight and glow from the inside out. Whatever the case may be, it’s their body. Their mind. Their choice. Just know that you can’t get anything past the Internets. Hit the flip for more celebs who changed their look over time.

Source: Amy Graves / Getty Prevalent T.V. actor John Wesley has unfortunately passed over the weekend. According to CNN , he died at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California. His manager Gerry Pass explained that Wesley’s final days came after a long struggle with multiple myeloma, a cancer that forms in white blood cells. He was 72 years old. Wesley is known for appearing in various T.V. shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where he played Dr. Hoover. He also appeared in another beloved 1990s sitcom, Martin , as Mr. Jim. Other credits include Benson, The Jeffersons , NCIS, Moving, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot and Medium. “John Wesley was a gift to the world, for his kindness and grace are immortalized in his works of theatre, TV, and film,” Pass said in a  statement . “I am heartbroken to have lost a dear friend today.” According to Entertainment Weekly , Wesley demonstrated his theater talents at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles where he starred in plays like Wild Oats and Arthur Miller ‘s An American Clock.  He also showcased his skills at the Old Globe Theatre in London in Toys in the Attic by Lillian Hellman . Wesley originally hailed from Louisiana and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science at the University of San Diego. He then earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of California, San Diego, according to CNN. Wesley also served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. However, he couldn’t escape his passion for acting and he secured his first credited role playing a police officer on My Three Sons in 1963. A successful career in television followed, including work with actors like Denzel Washington, Barbara Streisand, Morgan Freeman, Tim Burton and James Earl Jones. In an interview with Indie Activity , Wesley said he cherished playing many memorable roles such as activist Torro Chombe in The Atlanta Child Murders mini-series and Vic Glendon on the series In the Heat of the Night. “Another memorable character was ‘Sweets Walker leader of his quintet from the series Dirty Dancing ,” Wesley said. “This character was created to tell the civil rights story of the 60’s. Too bad the series ended after one season.” Wesley’s most recent endeavor was the short film Second Acts , which was co-written by Pass. He is survived by his wife Jenny Houston, their daughters, his stepson as well as his mother and grandchildren.

Hail To The Queen! Voila Davis Is The New Face Of L’Oréal Paris

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: L’Oréal Paris / L’Oréal Paris Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis is adding another achievement to her already impeccable resume: L’Oréal Paris spokesperson. On Tuesday (September 10), it was announced that the 54-year-old How to Get Away With Murder star will be the face of the company’s L’Oréal Paris’ Age Perfect line. In an interview with PEOPLE , Viola admitted that this all feels “surreal,” especially since she has never felt linked to the concepts of “beauty and femininity.” “It feels surreal,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winner recently told PEOPLE. “First of all, and you can take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt, I never thought that I could be an international spokesperson for L’Oréal. The fact that I am, it feels like my life has come full circle.” Adding, “When I thought of beauty and femininity when I was a young scrappy girl growing up in Central Falls, Rhode Island, I didn’t associate it with myself. I didn’t think that I had all those attributes that women who are seen like that should have.” Here she is, looking fresh-faced and L’Oréal ready with her natural hair and gleaming smile front and center: Source: L’Oréal Paris / L’Oréal Paris   Voila’s TV, print and digital campaigns for the skincare and cosmetics company will drop at the beginning of October, and she’s amongst fantastic company, joining the likes of fellow Oscar winner Helen Miren , HTGAWM co-star Aja Naomi King and Eva Longoria to name a few. L’Oreal wrote on their official Instagram page that Viola is a ‘force to be reckoned with.” “Viola Davis is an #unstoppable  force to be reckoned with. And we are so excited that she’s joined the  #lorealparisfamily . Viola, you show us every day that with courage and confidence there is no limit to what a strong, beautiful woman can do. You’re  #worthit .”   View this post on Instagram Viola Davis is an #unstoppable force to be reckoned with. And we are so excited that she’s joined the #lorealparisfamily. Viola, you show us every day that with courage and confidence there is no limit to what a strong, beautiful woman can do. You’re #worthit. . . . @violadavis #worthit #lorealparis #lorealparisfamily A post shared by L'Oréal Paris Skincare (@lorealskin) on Sep 10, 2019 at 10:59am PDT   In the end, Viola believes her very image on these ads sends a positive message to our girls about their “worth.” “The whole L’Oréal moniker, ‘I’m worth it,’ always gives me chills,” she says. “I think that statement is everything. It’s the sort of mantra we should tell all our little girls.” As we’ve previously reported, these past few months have been nothing but major announcements for Viola. While her role as Annalise on ABC’s Shondaland drama HTGAWM will be ending this season, Viola has also been tapped to play Michelle Obama in Showtime’s upcoming anthology series First Ladies . Congrats Viola! You are definitely worth it, and so much more!
