Source: Teresa Kroeger / Getty With Wendy Williams’ divorce in the works , the talk show legend shared that she and soon-to-be-ex Kevin Hunter did not have a prenup in place. During a recent episode of “Sway In The Morning,” the 55-year-old admitted she never had those papers drawn because she “didn’t think [her marriage] would end.” “That’s not sexy to introduce paperwork when you’re in love with somebody,” she said adding, “But as a grown person, I get with another grown person, and that grown person would also have a thriving career. I’d choose differently this time.” As PEOPLE pointed out , without a prenup, Hunter, who was also served as Williams’ longtime manager, could have access to her whopping $40 million net worth. In addition to spilling the tea about her divorce, Williams also dished on her dating life and what kind of man she needs in her life for the long-term. “As a grown person, I’d get with another grown person, and that grown person would have a thriving career. I would choose differently this time,” she said. “You know I am 55. I don’t want to be with someone who wants to be a rapper. you know what I mean. You might see me on a date with a 32-year old — please don’t mistake that for anything other than we are on a date. What I need is the comfort of a man who’s got his own and grown kids. I ain’t changing Pampers.” Take a look: As we previously reported , Williams filed for divorce in April. Clearly there are plenty of reasons for Williams to walk away from her marriage, which includes Hunter allegedly having a decade long affair with Hudson , perhaps even having a baby with her. That, and Williams has been battling with addiction issues , which Hunter’s alleged cheating may have caused her to spiral. Also, it was reported that Williams was allegedly rushed to the hospital in March of this year after hearing of Hudson and Hunter’s bundle of joy. That, and the 54-year-old’s popular talk show is on another hiatus . Then there were the allegations of physical abuse. This spring, sources told the New York Post in the past that employees claimed they heard the two fighting and that Williams would hide in her office to avoid seeing him. “She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern told the newspaper. “You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on.” In the end, Williams just hopes that she and Hunter can be cordial to another for the sake of their 18-year-old son, Kevin Jr. “I want a divorce like yesterday, I want a divorce two months ago, three months ago. Whenever I found out, four months ago,” she stressed. “I want a divorce and I want to be friends with Kevin. I mean, and not because we have a son, but because that was real love. I still love him, just not in that way. You either in or you are out with me. I still have love for him, and I wish him the best in his new life with his new family.” RELATED NEWS: It Looks Like Wendy Williams Is Getting Her Groove Back With This Mystery Man Wendy Williams Is Living Her Best Life, Hung Out With Blac Chyna Last Night The Nerve!

Source: Kwanchai Lerttanapunyaporn / EyeEm / Getty A 19-year-old girl was killed by her brother for the most frivolous thing—a Wifi password. According to WSB-TV , in 2018 Kevon Watkins, who was 16 at the time, was charged with the death of Alexus Watkins when he strangled her after he was confronted for changing the password to the Wifi in his home. See, he was upset that too many people were using the network, which was slowing down his Xbox connection. Apparently, his mother tried to remove the Xbox from his room, but when his sister confronted him, he put her in a chokehold for 10 minutes, only letting go when the police arrived on the scene, according to witness testimony at his murder trial. Alexus was pronounced dead from asphyxiation at the Medical Center, Navicent Health, early the next morning. Earlier this week, Kevon was recently found guilty of felony murder and aggravated assault. He was spend the rest of his life in prison. Watkin’s lawyer asked for a bench trial, one where the judge makes the decision about the plantiff’s innocence, not a jury of one’s peers. Bibb County Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin told the court that she nixed manslaughter charges for felony murder because his brother tried to stop him and he kept choking his sister. “Even under the best estimation, by the time [a sheriff’s deputy] got there …. It had been at least 11 minutes that the defendant had to have been choking his sister,” Colvin said, adding, “In those 10 minutes, she had to have stopped moving. Perhaps that wasn’t noticed by the defendant because he was still angry.” Hearing sentence, Watkins and as he left the courtroom, he sobbed, muttering, “I’m sorry,” WSB noted.

Her face lit up, this was undoubtedly a woman in love. A Real Housewives of Atlanta fan from Season One, I knew that Bailey was not the type to rush into marriage (or even really desire it); nevertheless, Mike Hill was undoubtedly about to change her mind. On stage I asked if she would ever marry Hill and she blushed and replied yes to the entire crowd oohing and ahhing.

Mike Hill proposed to the 52-year-old at the launch and she said yes. The model looked absolutely gorgeous on her romantic day, wearing a shirt dress by Sai Sankoh . We caught up with the West African designer who gave us all the exclusive details on the look.

It’s such a fun piece and I loved the sleeves, my dresses are petty long and flowy and it takes a confident woman to pull it off. She looked incredible.” Naturally, I went on the website to try and score this dress, only to discover it’s sold out and no longer on site. Beauties, never fear, Sankoh shared that it will be re-stocked in September. Source: http://www.saisankoh.com / Courtesy of Sai Sankoh From parousing the website, you see beautiful African-inspired pieces and Sankoh revealed, “All my prints are custom made and most of my pieces are made in India.” When you go on the website, each piece has a description of the type of woman that’s waring it. The above is called the Maldives Goddess Kaftan ($295.00, saisankoh.com ) and describes the woman buying the piece as “a traveler who spends six months out of the year visiting foreign destinations.” Sankoh stated, “I wanted to relate to every woman: the boss lady, the full time mother that needs a vacation, the single lady that wants to have a memorable night out in Miami. When my customers read the stories they always send me feedback, like, ‘Hey, I’m a doctor and I have been so busy and I needed this vacation, and this is totally about me.” It’s the beautiful detailing in the pieces and touches like this that make this brand special. Inclusivity within the brand doesn’t just stop at what type of woman you are; Sankoh makes sure that women of all sizes can shop as well, going up to a 3XL in certain styles. Sankoh explained, “I am naturally a curvy woman, meaning I have a butt, and I love to accentuate it. All that is required to wear my pieces is confidence, and I saw a big demand for curvy women wanting glamorous travel wear, and I needed to fulfill that.” The kaftans are truly one size fit all and look great on an array of body shapes and sizes. I’m so here for glamour resort wear and diverting from the typical looks that everyone else is shopping. Custom prints mean that you will have unique looks. While Cynthia’s dress is currently sold out, here are five of my favorite pieces from the site to shop. Let me know which ones are your favorite!
Source: Alex Wong / Getty If you have been using Instagram or Twitter for years, you are well aware of the fake followers. A new report is now detailing just how bad it really is, and there are big celebrities who have a lot of them. The report from ICMP highlighted the ridiculous amount of fake followers celebrities have on the social media platform. The investigation was broken down into categories about what each star does. Ellen DeGeneres topped the showbiz category with most fake followers listed at 58%. Following her is the mega-popular K-pop band BTS with 48%, Kourtney Kardashian and Taylor Swift both at 49% and Ariana Grande’s 46%. Other notable names on the list include both Kim and Khloe Kardashian who also have a lot of fake Instagram followers listed at 44%. Seasonless twerker and habitual culture vulture Miley Cyrus clocks in at 45%. Mr. “I like my chips with the dip,” Drake appeared in the report with 38%. As far as sports stars are concerned, Soccer’s most prominent names in the game top the list. Toni Kroos of Real Madrid topped the report overall with a whopping 57% of fake followers following him. His teammates Isco Alarcon Suarez (54%) and Luka Modric (50%) are right behind him. Going through the full report, it shows in great detail no celebrity is safe from picking up fake followers. Even Beyoncé is on the list with 31%, but as long as she is not in the top right? Anyway, we just hope no one this list is actually purchasing these fake followers, that would be the ultimate sin.

Now I know you’re wondering; how did he get a rubber mask, glasses, a wig, a black bra, and clothes? Ana Gabriele Silva his 19-year old daughter gave it to him. Next, you’re wondering; where was his daughter while he tried to escape? She was in Gericinó Prison Complex in Rio de Janeiro, hoping her father dressed like an odd little buff girl could make the great escape. Then you wonder; would my child do this for me? Unfortunately, da Silva wasn’t the Master Of Disguise and the police asked “Shorty” to remove everything. According to the Rio Times, Tuesday Clauvino da Silva was transferred to maximum security. “Three days after his failed escape, da Silva, a senior member of Comando Vermelho (Red Command), one of Brazil’s main crime groups, was found dead in his cell in a maximum-security prison.

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Galaxy Note fans rejoice, the wait for the next iteration in Samsung’s stylist based flagship model is here. Yesterday (August 7) in Brooklyn, the South Korean tech giant led by its CEO DJ Koh unpacked the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. Galaxy Note 10 vs. Galaxy Note 10 Plus Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The first thing you will notice about the new Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is how beautiful of a device it is and of course, the size of it. Coming in 6.3 inches is the Galaxy Note 10, while the luxurious Note 10 Plus is a 6.8-inch marvel. In hand, I was impressed at how light both devices were despite the plus version being slightly heavier. They didn’t feel ridiculous while I played around with the phones for a bit. Like the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus both variations of the Note 10 Dynamic AMOLED With HDR10+ certification and Dynamic Tone Mapping giving users a complete edge to edge experience with no distractions. Improving on the S10 design where they placed the hole-punched front-facing camera on the right of the screen, it is now a single camera located in the middle of the Note 10’s screen. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Gone on both models is the headphone jack, unfortunately. Samsung claims it made the decisions to part with it to free up space phone for more battery capacity. So you will be forced to either go wireless or use the USB-C headphones that come with the phone. You can also use a dongle adaptor, Samsung does not supply you with one sadly. While on the subject of the battery, the Note 10 packs a 3,5000 mAh versus the Note 10 Plus 4,300 mAh. Both models do feature wireless charging, and 30-minute quick charging using a 45-watt wired charger that Samsung boasts will last the entire day. The button configuration on the phone has also changed. The Bixby button has been removed. It is now replaced with the power/lock button on the left side of the phone directly underneath the volume controls. If you want to trigger Bixby, just press and hold down the button, to open the camera, press the button twice. As far as storage, the Note 10 comes with 256GB while the Note 10 Plus comes with either 256 or 512GB. The MicroSD card slot is not on the Note 10 but is present on the Note 10 Plus. The lite version of the Note 10 packs 8GB of RAM versus 12GB for the Plus. The phones come in an array of different colors which Samsung labels with “Aura” due to the fantastic shine each color gives off. The one model that caught everyone one’s eye, including mine, was the “Aura Glow” finish, which was absolutely stunning in person. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Both the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus utilize the same in-screen fingerprint reader used in the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus. While there are a good number of differences, both models are still relatively the same with a slight edge going to the Note 10 Plus understandably. Pro-Grade Camera System Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Pro-Grade camera system introduced with Galax S10 and S10 Plus gets a boost. Users will still be able to seamlessly switch among the different lens located on the rear. Instead of them being positioned horizontally like on the Galaxy S10, the cameras are now vertical. As mentioned about there is only one front-facing camera now. Samsung notes that better software for taking portrait selfies and now “Night Mode” allowed for the removal of the second camera. 12-megapixel dual-aperture lens 16-megapixel wide-angle lens 12-megapixel telephoto lens 10-megapixel front-facing camera Where the two models differ is the Note 10 Plus’ inclusion of a fourth 3D depth-sensing camera on the back. It will allow users to take portrait video (Live Focus Video), allowing blur effects, so the subject is the main focus. Note 10 Plus owners will also be able to draw on top of their photos and videos using the S Pen now with a new feature called AR Doodle. It was a hit among everyone at the event. If you shoot a video of someone while using AR Doodle, the camera will track their movements so everything you drew on them will follow them. Another cool feature AR Doodle will allow is the ability to save the file you created as either a JPEG or movie file. Once saved, you will be able to share it on any platform and not with just Note 10 users, unlike Apple’s Live Photo feature. Samsung also showed off the 3D depth-sensing camera’s ability to scan objects and turn them into a moveable 3D render. During the presentation, we got to see “DepthVision” in action using a teddy bear, I also someone do a person, and both were very accurate. 3D scanning on the #GalaxyNote10 #SamsungEvent pic.twitter.com/5S7xaToFRs — B E A N Z | Hot Boy Summer Loading… (@PhotosByBeanz) August 7, 2019 Last but certainly not least, Samsung introduced to Zoom-In-Mic video recording. While filming, users will be able to push background noise aside to focus on the sounds they want. Plus a new and improved version of “Super Steady” helps to film action sequences while removing bumps and shakes. The S Pen Gets Upgraded Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz There is still a country for people who love to work with stylists. Samsung has brought back the S-Pen with some upgrades. Last year’s version of the peripheral introduced Bluetooth capability allowing Note 9 owners to do things like snap a picture by just using the S Pen remotely. The Note 10’s S Pen gets an upgrade. You will now be able to operate the phone and certain features using gestures or as Samsung describes it Air actions. By holding down the button and flicking your hand left, right, up and, down, you will be able to switch cameras, change songs on Spotify or even sitch slides during a PowerPoint presentation. There are more advanced gestures, for example, if you make a circular motion, you can zoom in or out while using the camera. While trying it out, it didn’t work perfectly, but after a few tries, I was able to get some of the gestures to work. Nothing some practice won’t fix, but I don’t think its something most Note users will be using all of the time. Gaming Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz While I am not the biggest fan of mobile gaming, I left the Barclay’s Arena very impressed with the Note 10’s ability to run big games. I got to try out the forthcoming Call of Duty mobile game which Samsung is partnering with. I was absolutely blown away with how great the game looked on the phone and how smoothly it ran. The controls were easy to figure it out, but if you’re not a fan of using the on-screen configuration, you can connect and controller using Bluetooth. The product expert on hand also explained that the game will automatically match you with other players using controllers. So you won’t have an advantage over others who instead use the on-screen controls. If you’re worried about your Note 10 or Note 10 Plus getting hot while the game is running there is a solution for that. Thanks to the”world’s slimmest” vapor chamber cooling system which will help deliver optimal performance during gameplay while keeping the phone cool. Depending on what game you are playing, the AI-based Game Booster will optimize the performance and power consumption of the Note 10 without sacrificing performance quality. Gamers will also be able to screen record as well, so Samsung definitely had Twitcher and Mixers in mind. Link To Windows Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Microsoft’s CEO Satya Narayana Nadella was on hand to talk about Samsung’s partnership with his company. With Link to Windows (yes some people still use it) you will be able to sync your Note 10 straight to your Windows 10 desktop. Once connected via the cable that comes with the phone, you will be able to view your messages, notifications, photos, and even mirror your screen. Pricing Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz The Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are available for pre-order right now. The 6.3-inch Note 10 starts at $949 while the Note 10 Plus will cost $1,099. The Verizon timed exclusive 5G version of the Note 10 Plus will run you $1,299. The Note 10 comes in three colors Aura White, Aura Black and Aura Glow. The Note 10 Plus comes in an extra Aura Blue color that is only available in the US through Samsung or Best Buy. I was thoroughly impressed, but I’m looking forward to getting more time with the Note 10 for further review. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

Last month at the annual San Diego Comic Con Marvel threw the culture for a loop when they announced that Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali would be replacing Wesley Snipes as the vampire hunting superhero Blade . While fans of Wesley’s were disappointed with the news (there were rumors Snipes and Marvel were working together to revive the franchise in the future), they’ll be glad to know that Passenger 57 just hitched a ride onto Eddie Murphy’s upcoming Coming To America 2 . Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Wesley Snipes has been cast to star alongside Eddie Murphy in the long overdue sequel to the 80’s comedy classic, but he’s not alone. Joining the expanding crew will be SNL fan favorite comedian Leslie Jones, Kiki Layne, and the bawse himself Rick Ross. No word yet on what role Ross will be playing, but he’s reportedly shooting some scenes at his playboy mansion in ATL. Aside from the new names mentioned, Coming to America 2 will see some familiar faces return as James Earl Jones and Arsenio Hall are set to reprise their original roles. According to the report the sequel revolves around a Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) who’s ready to take the reigns of King of Zamunda when he learns he has a son living in Queens. At the request of his father (James Earl Jones), Eddie returns to America to search for his long-lost seed. Wait, did Akeem have a one-nighter with someone before marrying Lisa McDowell? Did she leave him to return to Queens and not tell him she was pregnant? There’s a few possibilities but we’ll have to wait to find out. As for Wesley’s role in the film, it seems like we’ll be introduced to another part of Africa that we never knew existed. Snipes will play a new character named General Izzi, who rules a neighboring country to Zamunda, homeland of Murphy’s Prince Akeem. Layne will play Akeem’s daughter, and Leslie Jones’ role is being kept under wraps. James Earl Jones, of course, will reprise his role as Akeem’s father, King Jaffe Joffer, with Bates as royal servant Oha. December 18, 2020 can’t get here fast enough.
