Lady Gaga FINALLY Addresses Christian Carino Split

The rumors have been spreading for weeks. The chatter has been growing incessant. The blogs have been very busy. Amid this backdrop of talk about her split from fiance Christian Carino, Lady Gaga has finally broken her silence. The engagement ended and the break-up was confirmed way back in February. Neither half of the now-former couple has said much of anything in public since, however, which has only fueled the speculative fire around the Internet. “There’s no dramatic story,” an insider tried to tell People Magazine at the time — but no one wanted to buy this spin. Most gossip observers assumed the engagement simply had to end because Gaga and Bradley Cooper are clearly in love ; how else to explain their chemistry in A Star is Born? Then there were the stories that alleged Gaga grew sick of how often Carino sent her text messages . “He was jealous,” an insider previously told Us Weekly. “He was trying to find her all the time and texted her a lot. Her friends didn’t like him either.” This same source said in late winter that Gaga was the one who broke things off, emphasizing that Carino didn’t take it well. At. All. So… was there truth to this rumor? To the cheating allegations? To all those Cooper-Gaga romance articles? While performing her “Jazz & Piano” show as part of her residency in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, Gaga briefly addressed her split from ex-Carino when a song reminded her of when she was engaged. “Last time I sang this song, I had a ring on my finger, so it’ll be different this time,” the artist told those in attendance prior to delving into “Someone  to Watch Over Me.” She then laughed and confirmed that she was, indeed, in love with Bradley Cooper and that she hoped to have, like, 9 of his babies. Just kidding. She only said the part we quoted above, which we guess isn’t really all that newsworthy in the end, huh? In reality, another source now claims, Gaga has been so busy of late with her career that she hasn’t really given much thought to the end of her engagement. She hasn’t really processed it just yet. “Gaga has been in such a focus on her career right now and has not even had time to address what has been happening between her and Christian, emotionally,” this Us Weekly insider explains, adding: “She has been telling those around her, ‘Let’s stay focused.’” This tabloid also writes that Gaga was initially “devastated” when the romance concluded, but that Carino had “infringed on her creative process” and she just couldn’t allow that to happen. More recently, someone in the know explained that Gaga had cut off communication from Carino. “She’s been hounded by Christian,” the mole says. “She told him not to contact her.”

Exclusive: Aisha Hinds Talks “Godzilla: King Of The Monsters,” Leading A Special Elite Kaiju-Battling Squadron & More!

Source: Chelsea Guglielmino/WireImage Exclusive Chat With “Godzilla” Star Aisha Hinds Incredibly talented actress Aisha Hinds is already legendary. No, seriously, she freed slaves as Harriet Tubman on “Underground,” piloted the Starship Enterprise in “Star Trek: Into Darkness” and now leads the special elite kaiju-battling military squadron in “ Godzilla: King Of The Monsters .” At this point, she’s quite possibly the most diverse (and magical) Black woman in Hollywood who shines in the larger-than-life summer blockbuster about giant monsters (or “titans”) throwing hands (and buildings) for the crown to rule Earth. And if that sounds epic, it absolutely is, especially when you see a fearless woman of color from Brooklyn commanding our last military hope (ON EARTH) in the midst of colossal chaos. So we absolutely had to interview her (and did briefly) just days before the release of the biggest (and boldest) nostalgia-splashed Action Thriller of the summer. Tell us about “Godzilla: King of the Monsters.” How did you get involved with the film? “I was reading the script and realized that this was something that actually resonated–that it’s not just another blockbuster movie that here was a story that was being told with so much heart because Michael Doherty–the guy who’s directing it–Godzilla is such a huge part of the fabric of his life that it’s such a passion project for him that I could feel his soul in wanting to tell this story and give Godzilla fans an experience with it that made him feel the way he felt as a child… And so when they offered this role of “Diane Foster” to me she represented something that doesn’t exist in the world and I felt like that was a beautiful follow-up to Harriet Tubman because here she was in pursuit of something that she had never experienced in life which was freedom and so here with now “Diane Foster” representing something that doesn’t exist in the world which was a woman who is serving as a green beret special forces officer leading an elite squad of team members–as part of Monarch which is a huge part of the history of Godzilla …and women are just now actually passing this special forces assessment and selection phase of military training to be able to go on to the special forces qualification course (which could go up to 24 months) to become green berets and serve as special forces officers so I realized that this was a unique opportunity for me to represent something that doesn’t exist but create the possibility for it to be tangible and visible for it not just to be a woman but a woman of color and so I was really excited about that” We notice that you pick a lot of diverse roles–you were in a “Star Trek” movie–minding your business and doin’ your thing–and we love that about you. You were Harriet Tubman but you’ve also done a lot of things that Black women have NOT done before–ever–has it ever hit you that you’ve accomplished these things in your career? “The thing is, I always look back retrospectively and I know the things I’m drawn to–I know the things that resonate–and when those things resonate and hit that part of your spirit those are things that draw me in and I’m grateful which is why I try to stay in tune with my spirit because, I’m like, I will follow you wherever you lead and if this is where you’ve lead me thus far then I know that there’s more to go… So while I’m in this season of cup runneth over and I’m getting the opportunities to do these things and have all these diverse roles I know there will come a point in my life, in my career, where I’m going to turn that cup over and start pouring into the cup of those behind me in the generation to come and I look forward to that” You mentioned “Underground” and Harriet Tubman and how important that is in your career. Is there still an opening, in your mind, for that to come back? Would you be open to pursuing that again? “Underground” holds a huge part of my heart not just because of the opportunity to play this iconic figure but also the family that was forged from that experience–if that should ever come back around I’d gladly rejoin my family in continuing that narrative because there’s exhaustive content as it pertains to that narrative and that story but also I think we have put into the world 20 episodes of television that will live on forever–20 episodes that I am tremendously tremendously proud of” “Godzilla: King Of The Monsters” in theaters now!

John Witherspoon Says ‘The Boondocks’ Will Return for a Fifth Season

Visit link:

Source: E. Charbonneau / Getty T he Boondocks played a heavy role in the development of many teenagers in the 2000s and now fans can rejoice in the return of the series, according to John Witherspoon. Witherspoon, 77, has played a prominent role in the animated TV show, portraying the retired grandfather Pops Freeman. Along with his grandsons, Huey and Riley, he lived in suburban Chicago facing a whirlwind of challenges and hijinks. A show that is seen as ahead of its time, The Boondocks tackled political commentary at the height of the Bush era and other pop culture references (e.g. R. Kelly’s child pornography trial). John was a guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast to discuss his career and dropped some not-so-subtle nuggets on the show’s future. “I’m on the cartoon – what is it?  The Boondocks ? I didn’t change my voice for  The Boondocks . And they coming back:  Boondocks  is coming back… It’s one of the best cartoons I’ve ever been on,” he tells Rogan. View this post on Instagram Political Niggas vs. Get Money Niggas. #BoondocksBack the following text is a message from Aaron Mcgruder “Did these for fun (and to see if I still could). More to come… exactly how much more is tough to say. These strips were only possible due to the enormous talent of my good friend Seung Kim, who did the animation for the old show – and he’s a busy guy. Thanks to him and thanks to Charlamagne for putting these out for me while I get my instagram act together.” AM A post shared by LENARD (@cthagod) on Feb 5, 2019 at 8:34am PST Details are still sketchy at the moment, as no word was mentioned regarding who was returning for the show. Aaron McGruder wasn’t involved during the development of Season 4 due to creative differences, and it’s unsure that he’ll return to the project that he created. For all we know, Witherspoon’s words should be taken with a grain of salt, as he’s also a part of the forever elusive Last Friday  with Ice Cube. If Season 5 of  The Boondocks  does come to fruition, it would be in a very timely fashion given the current political landscape. McGruder himself has teased a number of new comic strips of The Boondocks,  highlighting the current news cycle involving Robert Mueller, R. Kelly, and more. Still, this doesn’t confirm whether he’ll be returning to the television project going forward. Check out the clip of both John and JD Witherspoon on the Joe Rogan Podcast below.

Brothers In Jussie Smollett Case Had Tons Of Guns In Their Home, According To Report

Go here to see the original:

T he city of Chicago is still hungry for Jussie Smollett . Therefore, a judge ruled to unseal the documents in his case — however, it’s only the documents from the perspective of the corrupt Chicago Police Department. One revelation is that the home of the Osundairo brothers was packed with drugs and guns. See Also: Complete Timeline Of Jussie Smollett Investigation TMZ reports they had a vault of guns that included the following: — a hipoint model C9, 9MM caliber semi-auto pistol — 9MM caliber magazine with live rounds — 45ACP caliber magazines — Boxes labeled Remington 22 Rounds — a box labeled Hornady 00 buck shotgun shells No wonder on what these guns were for or if the guns were legal. The site also says, “They found a paper packet containing 2 small plastic bags with white powder, but there are no specifics about what that white substance was.” The report also claimed that one of the brothers sold weed to the “ Empire ” actor but this was already reported back in February . Abel and Ola , who have never commented publicly on their involvement in the case, reportedly   have not been able to land an agent since the Smollett case went public. Originally, their fitness training business was skyrocketing but “many of their potential clients turned out to be feigning interest in getting in shape and were really looking to get details on Jussie’s case.” Other damning information about the brothers has surfaced in April. It was reported that Olabinjo Osundairo was charged with attempted murder in 2011. He reportedly reached a plea deal “with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to aggravated battery; he was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay a $674 fine.” As for Smollett, his career has also taken a hit. He is no longer being considered to play the lead role in the Broadway revival of “ Take Me Out ,” which is about a mixed-race baseball player. The role supposedly went to Jesse Williams . There have also been several reports that he will no longer be on “Empire” but his contract is still in place. On Jan. 29, while walking to a subway, Smollett claimed two men yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, investigators told  The Hollywood Reporter . They allegedly punched and poured bleach on him while one of the suspects put a rope around his neck. As they fled the scene, Smollett told police they said, “This is MAGA country.” Smollett has maintained his innocence.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians Sneak Peek: Kim Worries ‘Bout Khloe

Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian welcomed her fourth child , Psalm West. Baby #4 is keeping her plenty busy these days. But Keeping Up With The Kardashians was filmed months ago, and at the time, Kim was more worried about Khloe's drama with Tristan. In this sneak peek for Sunday's new episode, Kim confesses that she's afraid that this very public scandal has been too much for her. This clip begins with Malika Haqq walking down the hall to speak with Kim, who is lounging on a series of beds made to look like a giant couch. “Going to Law school is a lot, a lot, a lot,” Kim says, sharing why she's feeling so tired. “But the baby is due in May.” “So,” Kim explains. “I'm excited to get the break — the baby break — because you get to take time off.” Kim, who is worth a third of a billion dollars and could take any time off she wanted, is looking forward to an excuse to wear pajamas all day. But after that brief preamble, this sneak peek klip for Sunday's new episode gets into Khloe's relationship drama. “We had like numerous readings and they were all so weird,” Kim recalls. She shares an anecdote about herself that we'll get into below, because her words about Khloe's experience are a little more pressing. “And then the last one told her that she has a lot of hurt in her heart,” Kim reveals. “Because her guy has really hurt her.” “And,” she adds. “She said that she's been going back and forth and can't make a decision in the relationship.” Kim continues: “and I so feel that.” “I think I'm always concerned about Khloe,” Kim admits during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians clip. “Obviously, everything that they've been through,” she expresses. “I don't think you can just forget about it.” “Its definitely not easy when everything is so public,” Kim points out. Kim is no stranger to having personal drama play out in the spotlight. Like Khloe, it's defined her life for over a decade. It's a huge part of her career. But she has a lot of confidence (konfidence?) that Khloe will continue to try to tackle her drama on her own terms. “She definitely tries to handle it on her own,” Kim observes. “But,” Kim says. “I just worry about her.” “As a best friend,” she adds. “I feel like she can really open up to Malika, you know, spend some time.” Maybe. But some people are too embarrassed by personal indecision to open up, even to a best friend. Honestly, the funniest part about all of this is that Kim segues into this “candid” conversation by talking about their experiences with mediums in Bali. She talks about how one reading that she received told her that she would have another boy — and that he would be her father reincarnated. We have to wonder if Kim is going to spend her literal entire life wondering if baby Psalm is actually her father reborn. Oh wait, maybe Psalm will see this episode one day, or at least hear about this reading from someone. That would be a hell of a thing to grow up hearing.

Wendy Williams Victim-Blames Iggy Azalea for Photo Leak: It’s YOUR Fault!

Over the weekend, some monster leaked Iggy Azalea's topless photos and the rapper has vowed to press charges against the culprit. Wendy Williams is speaking out in condemnation of Iggy herself. Apparently, Wendy doesn't think it's a big deal, and says that Iggy has only herself to blame. “What's she complaining about?” Wendy asks her audience. “She looks great.” That was, of course, never the point, but Wendy decides to burden her audience with details on Iggy's nudes. “I'll describe: she's got giant, pink areolas,” Wendy overshares, noting: “There are a lot of men who love that.” Wendy just barely stops herself from going into further detail about what men love about nipples, so we really dodged a bullet, there. “She's got active nipples,” Wendy adds, using a very strange phrase to say that Iggy's nips were hard. She then goes on to praise Iggy's figure. This is all … totally beside the point. “She took the pictures,” Wendy continues. “She said that she had seen a lot of actresses pose toplss over the years.” “So,” she says. “One of the pictures, where she was topless, she has her hands over her boobs.” Wendy then describes how Iggy eventually bared her breasts after becoming comfortable with the photographers. The naked photos were supposed to have been deleted, Wendy explains, but were not. Instead, they surfaced. The photographer and GQ Australia have condemned whoever stole and leaked the images. “We didn't see any private area,” Wendy asks, then having a back-and-forth with one of the show's producers. She's clearly playing word games, because breasts are not genitals. (For the record, the producer seemed less willing to suggest that the nude leaks were no big deal, but Wendy then dismissed his opinion) Breasts are not genitals, but they're a private area unless the body-owner chooses to share them with the world. And that's the point of all of this — that this happened without Iggy's consent. After saying her piece, Iggy deactivated her Instagram and Twitter accounts to shut out the haters and the sexual harassment. “I think it's a pretty smart idea for her to delete her social media,” Wendy praises. She explains: “Only because the comments are the worst .” “But just because you delete yours,” Wendy notes. “Doesn't mean that you've deleted …” She then lists a number of outlets, on social media and on independent sites, that preserve social media posts and provide commentary. “I think it's everyone's fault that this happened to you, Iggy,” Wendy says. “Number one,” she begins. “It's your fault, Iggy. You and you alone.” She thinks that Iggy has too many “yes people” around her who weren't telling her what they needed to know. Wendy also lays the blame on the photographer using a somewhat convoluted comparison between cameras and her microphone. But the idea that she's blaming Iggy here is absurd … yet oh-so-typical for Wendy. Wendy suggests that this could help her career, and that maybe this is all some sort of publicity stunt. Ugh. We have a sneaking suspicion that Wendy would be singing a different tune if it were her nudes that leaked. (And we of course hope that this does not happen! We don't want to see anyone naked without their consent) The issue isn't Iggy's figure or how appealing various men find a creepily detailed description of her nip nops. It's about photos being leaked without her approval. The truth is that Wendy knows this — but she thought it would be more entertaining to give Iggy a hard time.
