Source: Prince Williams / Getty The Breakfast Club Interviews Taylor Rooks We’ve had our eye on Taylor Rooks for several years now and the sportscaster has developed quite a bit since she first rolled down our social media timeline. The work she’s put in for various platforms over the years has earned her her very own show on Bleacher Report: “Take It There” With Taylor Rooks . The 26-year-old from Atlanta, GA is a whole lot of woman and in addition to her show, Taylor talks about her love life and dealing with men’s perception of her as a professional. Taylor also is 100% down for a lively sports talk. Yes lawd.

Our cover star, Rihanna, is fully up to the task. The multitalented artist, entertainer, and entrepreneur wears museum-worthy masterpieces ranging from rainbow Givenchy to embellished Chanel with a confident ease.” We definitely agree!

Source: Judy Eddy / WENN Monica Not Sharing Any Marital Messiness With Vh1 Producers If you’re expecting Monica to share any messiness about her marriage coming to an end on “T.I. & Tiny’s Friends & Family Hustle” you may be in for some disappointment. Sources close to production on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” tell TMZ … Monica won’t even utter Shannon Brown’s name on the show and refuses to talk about her marriage ending in front of the cameras. TMZ says their sources say her decision to keep her divorce details low has frustrated the folks in production who have been begging her to open up about her marriage in hopes of help with crafting an interesting storyline for her. We previously posted the trailer for the show, which makes it seem like Monica is open to discussion (largely because of the clip in the studio where Monica mentions never imagining being a 38-year-old single mother) but producers say that’s about all she was open to say. We’re not in the least bit surprised. Mo has always lived by a certain code and she’s not about to switch up now for reality tv. Does her decision disappoint you or do you think she’s doing the right thing? Oh and while we’re talking Monica … The singer went heavy with social media promotions Sunday and Monday, sharing photos from the video shoot of her new single “Commitment”.

View this post on Instagram Grateful to be part of this powerhouse quartet, the ones that paved the way and the ones to come after. @theritamoreno @gloriaestefan @evalongoria #holalatinapowerhouse A post shared by Zoe Saldana (@zoesaldana) on Mar 20, 2019 at 3:23pm PDT Zoe’s in great company, but as an Afro-Latina who has been making a mark in Hollywood for over a decade we think she deserves credit for being a face that girls from MANY ethnicities can embrace. She’s played black women, aliens, fictional species and in her newest role as Adelina Fortnight in ‘MISSING LINK’ (in theaters April 12) she’s an adventurer enlisted to help her furry friend find his long lost relatives on the other side of the world. Of course Zoe is no stranger to creative casting and as a mom of three it’s got to be great to play a character her kids can watch on the big screen but we wanted to shine a light on Zoe Saldana and share some of our favorite moments of her we’ve enjoyed over recent years. She’s definitely one of the most versatile actresses EVER and should be applauded for it. Hit the flip to see them.

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Jordyn Woods Making Big Business Moves In London And Dubai We love us some Jordyn Woods — and it appears that none of her drama with Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian is stopping the checks from coming in for her. After captivating hearts in America with her Red Table Talk interview , Jordyn is now looking to capitalize on her work in the cosmetics and fashion space and is headed to London to sign several new deals! Sources involved with the deals tell The Blast that Woods will leave for London with momager Elizabeth Woods at the end of the month to sign “several new deals.” According to the Blast reports, one of the biggest deals involves a new line for Woods’ eyelash brand. She’s also fielding calls from a gang of companies looking to align with her — and the man behind many of these new opportunities is none other than marketing guru Sheeraz Hasan, whose brokered deals between Hollywood and the Middle East for big names like J.Lo, Kim K and Paris Hilton in the past. Jordyn’s passport is set to get several new stamps as Hasan has arranged travel for her in Dubai (where she’ll make numerous appearances) and other Middle Eastern locales following her trip to London. Word is, she’s looking to lock up some “huge financial deals.” She’s also set to skydive while visiting The Emirates. Jordyn posted a video of Hasan and her mom last week where the Dubai trip was mentioned. We’re so glad business is booming for baby girl and couldn’t be happier to see her getting to the bag. Hit the flip for the latest from Jordyn’s social media.
