Stranger Things 3 is set to be released with a bang on this Fourth of July holiday as we find out what’s been up with El, Mike, Will, Lucas and the rest of the game. I recently caught up with Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Maya Hawke, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Sadie Pop, and Caleb Mclaughlin to discuss Stranger Things 3 and they go back in time to fill out their myspace Top 8 but with a twist. It was so much fun asking the kids to pretend to fill out their top 8 friends. If you don’t remember The Myspace Top 8 was a contemptuous system of displaying your eight favorite Myspace friends on your page. It often ruined friendships and sometimes relationships. It was wild, but I gave the cast of Stranger Things, a scenario that would put them in a bind. They’re filling out their top 8 and realize they only have two spots left and they haven’t added any of their Stranger Things cast. Which two are they adding? Millie Bobby Brown freaked out at the idea of a TOP 8, while Finn called Myspace a FOSSIL. Sadie didn’t want to cause any ‘tea’ but Caleb was with all the tea spilling. Simply put this was a fun experiment that will leave some laughing and others left out. Watch this week’s Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine to get some inside information on Netflix hits show, and see which Stranger Thing has some rap bars after being put on the spot by Xilla Valentine. The new season starts on July 4th, on Netflix.
F or those people who are looking for a cinematic escape this July 4th, a movie marathon is a perfect way to spend the day. There are tons of films with Black casts that will keep you laughing and not sweating from the outside heat. Let’s face it, laughter is the best medicine especially with the Trump stress weighing down on communities across the nation. For an added bonus, BBQ Becky won’t show up to stop the fun in any of the movies on this list. People can grab their movie snacks or some barbecue, sit back and enjoy the show. Here are some good choices for your movie and chill day. See Also: ‘Troubling’ Video Shows Cops Assaulting Innocent Mother And Yanking Her Baby Away ATL This 2006 film starred T.I. and Lauren London , taking viewers into the world of roller skating in Atlanta. The high school-age characters also face several pivotal turning points in their lives. The Cookout This 2004 movie starred Quran Pender , Queen Latifah and Jenifer Lewis . As the name implies, a Black family comes together for a cookout that gets pretty interesting. Boyz n The Hood This 1991 film is one of the classics. The movie, set in inner-city Los Angeles, catapulted Nia Long , Morris Chestnut , Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube to fame. The Inkwell A young Larenz Tate and Jada Pinkett (before she married Will Smith ) light up the screen in this 1994 film. Before Tate captured women’s affections in Love Jones, he captured hearts in this coming-of-age film set in Martha’s Vineyard during the Fourth Of July weekend of 1976. Poetic Justice The legendary Maya Angelou provided the poetic words that powered this 1993 film that starred the iconic Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur . Jackson and Shakur’s characters fall in love in the film, which featured a barbecue scene. Do The Right Thing This 1989 film was one of Spike Lee ‘s memorable and rawest journeys into inner-city life. Set on the hottest day of the year in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York, the film is a searing look at what happens when heat meets hate as the characters struggle with racial frustrations that ultimately boil over into chaos. But in reaching the tipping point, Lee still shows the community’s spirit. Barbershop 2: Back In Business This 2004 comedy starring Ice Cube and Queen Latifah will bring the laughs. The movie, focused on a Chicago barbershop’s importance to its community, has a barbecue scene that shows off Latifah and Cedric the Entertainer ‘s comedic chops. Menace II Society This 1993 film is another cult classic that stars Pinkett and Tate. At the heart of the film set in Watts, Calfornia, the main character, Caine, played by Tyrin Turner , is trying to find his way to a better life. Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins This 2008 film isn’t one of Martin Lawrence ‘s best-known films, but it stars a lot of comedian talents including Mo’ Nique , Cedric The Entertainer and Mike Epps . Lawrence’s character returns home after achieving fame only to find out that his family could care less about his status. How Stella Got Her Groove Back This 1998 film had a braided-up Angela Bassett finding her to Jamaica to, well, get her groove back after a divorce and some major work stress. While there, she meets a young man played by Taye Diggs that piques her interest. Then, their lives both intertwine and change forever. Oh, there’s a good barbecue scene in this film, too.

Source: Hollywood To You/Star Max / Getty Tonight we pick up Basketball Wives from the aftermath of Shaunie giving Jennifer a hug. Yup. Shaunie got over her animosity toward Jennifer to try to convince Evelyn to come around too, but Evelyn isn’t having it. She says Jenn can use her mom dying as an excuse to be a jerk all she wants but it won’t change the fact that she was talking smack about Shaniece since before her mother died. In other words, Evelyn is not ready to come around and that’s that. Later on, we find Malaysia kicking it with CeCe and OG. The latter two have been besties lately, so much so that OG rolls her eyes when Malaysia mentions Kristen’s name. OG feels some type of way about Kristen due to their tiff at last season’s reunion (Kristen tried to shame her for not being married or having kids), but also because CeCe has been filling her in about her drama. The general sentiment, outside of Malaysia, is that Kristen is fake. This starts getting under Malaysia’s skin because she feels like CeCe has been telling OG stuff that she’s not telling everyone else, which is counterproductive to her mission of trying to get her family on the same page. This is going to blow up in a major way. In other news, Tami Roman is still around. She has been pulling a Kim Zolciak this season — you know — not wanting to really participate in filming with the other women. However, she does address Kenny Anderon’s stroke. She and her daughters are saddened by it. Speaking of her daughters, they feel like the only thing worse would be if something happens to her and so, they request that she stop smoking. Later on, Tami goes to a hypnotist because she has tried everything else in the world to give up smoking…except for this. Progress pending, because Tami fell asleep during the session. Finally, we get to the part of the episode where everything falls apart. Evelyn’s new business venture involves a skincare line formulated with CBD. So, we’re at the part where Evelyn brings the group together to test out her products, but the real reason we’re here is so that OG and Kristen can face off. It all goes downhill when OG walks in and Malaysia decides to be messy by bringing up when OG said that Kristen was fake. Malaysia also asks CeCe if she said something to OG in private that she shouldn’t have said. Basically, OG mentioned that she feels like CeCe tells her the truth about how she feels, but tells everyone else that everything is okay and that she and Kirsten are fine. Lies. Anyway, CeCe said she didn’t say anything off to OG at all and that they don’t even talk about Kristen when they hang out. OG feels like she’s holding on to a piece of anger from CeCe that CeCe is hesitant to share. Then OG finally decides to stop holding back and calls Kristen fake. Then she unloads more about how Kristen borrowed clothes and shoes from CeCe. They obviously start arguing and then OG blurts that Kristen and Thomas aren’t real Scotts because the man we’ve been seeing on camera thus far isn’t Thomas’ actual dad, but they just want the world to think they’re basketball royalty (Byron actually raised Thomas though). Kristen starts wilding out, She calls OG’s man gay, and starts trying to get at OG like she wants to try to fight but she gets restrained (and OG definitely isn’t scared). Shaunie steps in and chastises OG, talking about how she’s out of line and it’s not her place to reveal personal secrets like this, yatta yatta. Shaunie, Malaysia, and Feby try to keep Kristen at bay since they don’t have Love and Hip-Hop levels of security, and Jackie tells OG she’s out of line. CeCe said OG obviously threw that out to hurt Kristen but that the info isn’t a secret so she’s surprised about Kristen’s reaction. Meanwhile, Shaunie continues telling OG how wrong she was until OG said that CeCe gave her this info. Then Shaunie goes out and tells Kristen that Cece passed that info to OG. This causes Kristen to try to go charging back in the room. She gets restrained, but then. Malaysia goes back in to confront CeCe because she just asked if CeCe had told OG any secrets. CeCe admits to spilling the tea but added that it’s not a secret and she’s actually surprised that Kristen is acting the way she is. Y’all, Kristen is kicking, screaming, and in tears as if this was the first time she heard this news about her man. Then Malaysia starts going off on OG because she feels like OG is trying to keep her family apart. Now everyone thinks CeCe has been playing puppet master all this time. They think CeCe told OG all this stuff because she knew OG would be the one to put this stuff out there and say the things CeCe is too afraid to say. Wouldn’t be the first time for someone on this show to do that. Anyway, the petty drama returns next week.

Knight Center Featuring: Boosie Badazz formerly Lil Boosie Where: Miami, Florida, United States When: 17 Sep 2016 Credit: Johnny Louis/WENN.com Lil Boosie needs to pay up. The Baton Rouge rapper has been ordered to pay six figures to the same security guard who pepper sprayed him and his security back in 2017 . It turns out that the fade Boosie and his team blessed said security with is going to cost the rapper a cool $233,000. Reports the Sun Herald : Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz has been ordered to pay $233,128.54 to security officer Glen Kerley, who said in U.S. District Court on Tuesday that he was the one assaulted when a melee erupted outside Dillard’s at Edgewater Mall during black spring break 2017. U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. entered a default judgment because Boosie failed to show up in court and has not responded to court pleadings since his attorney withdrew from the case in March. After 10 minutes of testimony from Kerley, Guirola found that Boosie and a security guard, Larry Anderson, intentionally assaulted Kerley. Kerley is still receiving treatment for the concussion and neck injuries he suffered when Boosie, Anderson and a crowd jumped on Kerley after he pepper sprayed them to get them out of the department store. “I basically went to the ground and lost consciousness,” said Kerley, who sued Boosie and Anderson for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, gross negligence and civil conspiracy. Boosie and Anderson actually did countersue, but never pursued their claim. Of course, this is difficult to when you no longer have a lawyer on the case. Kerley made sure to mention that Boosie was one of the people who allegedly put hands on him. As for the breakdown of what Boosie is paying: $24,422.14 for medical expenses $706.40 in lost wages. $100,000 in punitive damages $58,000 in attorney’s fees. And post-judgment interest. Bruh…

The “Thotiana” star was recorded booting his mother and sister in a video where he accused them of clout chasing and has released the full video of the altercation while stating his sister tried to fleece him for bread. From Blueface’s Instagram: “Sense they wanna go viral so bad this the real story my mom got tired of my broke ass sister free loading at her house so she brought her to mine an I wasn’t going for it I already got her an apartment guess that wasn’t enough she want my car she want me to buy her a car off the lot an some more stuff I was homeless in my own car for years ain’t nobody wanna let me stay at they house I had to thug it out but I C my fans ain’t real fans y’all turn like corners fucc all you fake ass fans that’s y I’m in it just for the money. Okay, then. Blueface caught a lot of heat on Twitter and across social media for literally KICKING his sister out his home, and it was alleged he did so in favor of his two live-in girlfriends. The sister expressed as such that the women in her brother’s life were the reason he shunned his family from his home and riches. Watch the video below.

Source: Stephanie Keith / Getty A Black family in Atlanta decided to forgo the services of a white contractor who rolled up on their property with a huge Confederate Flag flying on the back of his truck. Allison and Zeke Brown of Atlanta kindly told the gentleman that because of the flag, his services were no longer needed and sent him on his way. Yahoo! reports : Allison and Zeke Brown of Atlanta, Georgia hired the man, whose name is Michael, to replace the brakes on their golf cart. When he arrived at their home on Saturday, an enormous rebel flag was attached to his truck. “Hi, you know what, I do apologize, I know you’ve come from a very long way, but we’re going to use someone else,” Allison, 40, a radiation therapist, tells Michael, as captured in a video on her Ring app. “She’s upset with the flag,” explains Zeke, 48. “No, I’m beyond upset with the flag,” corrects Allison. Michael offers to remove the flag, but Allison says, “No, you don’t need to take it down. You can continue to believe what you need to believe, sir. But no, I cannot pay you for your services. Thank you, have a good day.” Tough break but that flag’s history when it comes to Black folks and some of the folks who love to fly it made this a rather easy call. Check out the video of the encounter below. — Photo: Getty
Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty The #cucumberchallenge is sweeping social media and folks are in their feelings about it. In case you missed it, cucumbers are no longer being used in salads, but for props to show off one’s sexual expertise. Not grasping what I’m saying? Women are sucking cucumbers to show off their fellatio skills. Several celebrities have chimed in on the craze to express their discontent, disbelief or support of the challenge. Amber Rose added her two cents to the mix today, offering an interesting take on the backlash women who participate in challenge are receiving. View this post on Instagram #AmberRose speaks out about the cucumber situation A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk, LLC (@theneighborhoodtalk) on Jul 1, 2019 at 5:55pm PDT Amber Rose, who admits her throat just ain’t set up like the woman in the video whose skill set launched the challenge, feels like women may be intimidated by it therefore ready to drag everyone who participate. Reginae Carter also chimned in in the challenge, but to denounce it as degrading. Reality TV star Akbar took to Instagram to defend the challenge. While we understand the implications surrounding the challenge, we’ve decided to put it in the “not so big of a deal” category. If you don’t want to participate don’t and if you don’t want to see it, don’t look. Thoughts?
