Rumor Control: Jordyn Woods Fears The Beard, Says There’s No Hanky-Panky Poppin’ With James Harden

Source: Dennis Jerome Acosta/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images/Eric M / Getty Jordyn Woods Denies Romance With James Harden Rumor control time! The internet had been on TEN since nosy Nancy’s caught wind of Kardashian-survivor Jordyn Woods shakin’ her groove thang in front of James Harden at Houston nightclub. According to TMZ , Jordyn and James are not a thing. The model and entrepreneur says she pulled up to hang out with some friends and they ended up at Belle Station right next to Harden. Apparently, some of Harden’s homies are friends with Jordyn’s best bishes. It’s said that the pair didn’t arrive or leave together and footage of Jordyn dancing in front of a seated James is just “having fun”. That said, there are sources who insist that the beard and the baddie have been talking for months even before Tristangate. We’re not sure that this will keep the internet super sleuths off the scent, but good try we guess.

Here’s what Ganiella Garcia said about her experience: “I opened the bag and took the clothes out. Everything was fine. And then when I was trying things on, at the bottom there was a card and there was an Atkins bar in a little bag,” she told BuzzFeed News. “It was very insulting, and honestly, I like shopping at Forever 21 — but I don’t feel comfortable buying clothes from a company that thinks I shouldn’t be the size that I am,” Garcia said. She was not the only angry shopper.

Goodbye, My Loves! Mo’Nique Blasts Oprah Again, Sends ‘Coward’ Criticism To Steve Harvey

Source: Aaron Poole/Steve Granitz/WireImage / Getty Mo’Nique Speaks On Oprah Winfrey & Steve Harvey Mo’Nique is still outspoken and unabashed when it comes to her opinions on two major media moguls. Mo’s remained steadfast in her issues with Oprah and she’s claimed for YEARS that Oprah crossed the line by inviting her family on her talk show against her wishes. Now she’s doubling down on those feelings with Comedy Hype. According to Mo, her brother Gerald who admitted to molesting Mo’Nique reached out to Oprah to speak on child predators, as he was one himself. The idea was then pitched that Mo’Nique would come on the show as well. According to Mo, she told O that her brother was a “scammer” and wanted nothing to do with the interview. She also expressed that she preferred that the interview not happen and Oprah allegedly ASSURED her that the sitdown would be canceled. Despite that, Mo says her brother was brought on alongside her other brother, her father, AND her mother. “She never said my mother was coming on that show,” said Mo. “Because if Oprah Winfrey would have said she was having my mother on that show, I would have said shut it down.[…] Ultimately Mo said she wants a PUBLIC apology from Oprah. Until that woman says let me apologize to you publically it’ll be till the day I leave this earth. Because what you did was malicious and it was intentional and it was ugly. Oprah Winfrey, you know what you need to do and stop hiding behind what you call negative comments because what people are beginning to do is see you for who you are.” She also said that she confronted Oprah at a previous Oscars party at Alfre Woodard’s house and asked her in front of EVERYONE including Angela Bassett and Regina King why Oprah had her mother on her show. “How could you have my mother on my show? That’s not what we discussed,” Mo said to Oprah while recounting the nasty things fans said after the interview. “She took the cowardly way out, she said ‘If you think I did something wrong then I want to apologize.’ You DID do something wrong, you maliciously [did] and had full intentions of having my parents on your show and not saying anything to me.” Mo is NOT holding back in this interview; watch below. Do YOU think she has a valid reason to have an issue with Oprah???

Be Free Or DIE: Watch The Trailer For ‘Harriet’ Starring Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr. And Janelle Monae [VIDEO]

Source: Courtesy Focus Features / Focus Features The Trailer For ‘Harriet’ Will Give You Chills The trailer for November’s highly anticipated Focus Features release ‘Harriet’ has finally arrived and we are so excited to share it with you. Based on the story of iconic freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, Harriet follows Tubman on her escape from slavery and subsequent missions to free dozens of slaves through the Underground Railroad in the face of growing pre-Civil War adversity. “This is the story of a seemingly powerless woman who accomplished the extraordinary to save her loved ones, and in the process became a leader of and inspiration for her people,” said producers Debra Martin Chase and Daniela Taplin Lundberg. “While Harriet Tubman is a household name, most people don’t know the breadth of her story – not only was she a conductor on the Underground Railroad, but she was a spy for the Union army and remains one of the the few women to have led an armed expedition in US history.” There was a ton of controversy over whether or not the role should have gone to an African-American actress rather than Erivo , do you think the trailer proves she was up to the task? No lie we not only caught the chills watching the trailer, we also shed actual TEARS.
