Halle Berry has found instagram and like all these attention seeking celebrities, who used to want to have mystery between them and their fans, has decided to produce content for her fans, connect with her fans, give them a taste of who she really is on a curated and bullshit level that is likely calculated… In Halle Berry’s case, posing semi seductive pics even if she is 100 years old, because that’s how she compels and engaged her audience or the decision makers… What it comes down to is that Halle Berry lives matter…black like Halle Berry…which isn’t black at all…you know since she was raised white, and the only black thing about her is that she never met her dad who was black…. She may have been called names growing up because white people are racist and she was the different one in her white highschool, like the fat chick she got teased, getting all insecure before going to Hollywood and living the rich famous girl life….she got for being accessible and white enough for producers to work with her in movies – because white people are racist… Look at her now!!
Tragic news today out of the world of television: DuShon Monique Brown, a veteran actress who had been a series regular on Chicago Fire since the inception of the NBC drama, has died of an apparent heart attack. She was 49 years old. Production sources tell TMZ that Brown admitted herself to an Illinois hospital a few days ago after suffering chest pains; she was reportedly tested at the time and then released. But things then took a drastic and deadly turn on Friday. The actress suffered some kind of cardiac episode and was found dead inside her home in Chicago. The NBC star was a native of The Windy City who had portrayed Connie, the assistant to Chef Boden, since the very first episode of Chicago Fire. She also appeared on Prison Break from 2005 through 2007. Television fans may also recognize Brown from stints on Empire and Shameless. Said Chicago Fire producer Dick Wolf upon learning of Brown’s stunning and untimely passing: “The Chicago Fire family is devastated to lose one of its own. Our thought and prayers are with DuShon’s family and we will all miss her.” Along with her acting career, Brown had a background in social work and a Masters in Counseling. She once worked as a counselor at a local high school. According to her IMDB page, she was also an accomplished violinist who played with the Illinois Symphony Orchestra at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. This same page lists a few other facts about the late star. To wit: – Her nickname was “shoo-shoo.” – She attended the same high school as Michelle Obama. – Her mom is a retired social worker and her dad is a retired math teacher. – She inspired to perform after seeing the film version of The WIZ at age seven. Most importantly, and sadly, she leaves behind a daughter named Zoe, who actually appeared with her mother in a 2007 Super Bowl commercial for Frito Lay. It’s unknown at this time just how Chicago Fire will wrote Brown’s character out of the series. It’s also matters very little at the moment. Our thoughts go out to the actress’ friends, family members and loved ones. May DuShon Monique Brown rest in peace.

Did Aubrey O’Day Smash Russell Simmons? Aubrey O’Day apparently was never too shy to pick up a new, highly successful boo while on the job. After news broke that she had an affair with Donald Trump, Jr. toward the end of her time on Celebrity Apprentice, Page Six uncovered an old podcast she appeared on where she detailed an affair with yet ANOTHER man she met on a reality show set. While appearing on the “Risk!” podcast back 2012, A ubrey revealed that she and a man she would not name shared a flirtation while she was filming an unnamed reality show. She describes how after the finale she and the man went for it in a nearby bathroom… “I was walking through the hallways and got pulled into this bathroom, and he threw me up against the wall and looked at me for two seconds and then we started making out like crazy… …he goes to rip off my dress and…he’s like ‘Holy f–k — I’ve never seen Spanx that big in my life!’” O’day said that she and the man began a relationship, including lots of phone sex and Skype sex. He even called her “Spanky,” due to the big ol’ drawls she had on the first time they hooked up in a public bathroom. However, she knew things couldn’t last. “Like, I think I’m great, but he hangs out with, like, Victoria’s Secret models, he’s at dinner with huge celebrities, he runs with the biggest agents and managers and like, he’s the s–t. So I can’t really trust this person. We’re from different worlds.” But who could this man be? Well, in addition to appearing on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ Aubrey showed face in two episodes of Russell’s (somewhat obscure) 2010 reality show, ‘Running Russell Simmons.’ As such, folks are speculating that this was the model-loving mogul she spoke about. Given the new info we’ve all gotten on Russell in the last few months and how familiar that sounds to how he’s (allegedly) gotten down in the past …it could be true. Of course, Russell’s people tell Page Six he isn’t the man in the story. “Russell Simmons never had an intimate relationship with Aubrey O’Day. To be clear: He was not the man Ms. O’Day described as having met on a TV game show that she had a romantic relationship with.” Hmm…what do you think? Getty/Splash Continue reading →
Back in 2015, a photograph of Ben Affleck sporting a huge back tattoo made its way around the interwebs, and a good laugh was had by all. Being the kind of guy who pretends he doesn’t care what anyone thinks but who actually lives for public adulation, Ben claimed the tattoo was fake. He insisted the garish phoenix rising from the ashes was airbrushed on for a movie he was directing and starring in called Live By Night . “[It’s] fake for a movie,” Affleck very explicitly stated in a 2016 interview. “I actually do have a number of tattoos but I try to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up they get sort of addictive, tattoos, after awhile.” Since no one actually saw the film, no one pieced together that Ben’s Prohibition-era gangster never actually disrobes to reveal a giant, brightly-colored, anachronistic tattoo. Rumors about the big ugly ink persisted, but Ben made headlines for so much other bad behavior that fans never launched a full-blown investigation. Remarkably, Ben has kept his torso pretty well covered over the past two and a half years, but that might have more to do with his booze-bellied dad bod and less to do with hiding the big bird. (Feel free to use that as a euphemism for sex, btw.) Sadly, Beantown Benny slipped over the weekend when he removed his shirt for a beach scene in a movie he’s filming. Hopefully, Ben’s character is the type of guy who collects samurai swords and lost his virginity to a prostitute at 29, because this tatt is not the sort of thing that can be edited out in post-production. Yes, we now know for sure that Ben was lying about the tattoo being a fake, and Twitter is having a field day. “Don’t mock Ben Affleck’s phoenix tattoo. It symbolizes how he has risen from the ashes, reborn as a guy with a tattoo that sucks,” tweeted Pixelated Boat. “I’ve been following the Ben Affleck back tattoo drama more closely than the Mueller investigation,” quipped Sophia Benoit. “Ben Affleck’s back tattoo is, and I’m saying this without hyperbole, one of the funniest goddamn things I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Dashiell Driscoll opined. All we need is Dril and DaShareZone to sound off on this thing, and all of Twitter will have had its say. So how is Affleck reacting to ironically being roasted for a phoenix tattoo? Well, thus far, he’s about the only one who hasn’t sounded off on it. Even Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, flamed his ass, telling Ellen DeGeneres that she “take[s] umbrage” at being represented as the ash from which Ben’s metaphorical phoenix arises. Must suck to realize you spent a massive chunk of your life married to a guy who would not only get that fugly of a tattoo but would proceed to lie to the whole world about it. Hmmm … we may have finally figured out what horrible revelation came to Garner at the Oscars. View Slideshow: 27 Tattoos These Celebrities May One Day Regret

Diddy’s 21-year-old protégé Shyne , on the other hand, was found guilty of assault, reckless endangerment, and gun possession and would serve almost nine years in jail. Source: New York Daily News Archive / Getty Legend has it, the shooting happened during a misunderstanding as Diddy was leaving the club in the wee hours of the morning. Shyne allegedly opened fire when a stack of money was thrown in Diddy’s face ( one victim testified he saw Shyne running and holding a smoking gun ) and by the end of it all, a woman was shot—in the face. That woman, whose name is Natania Reuben, spoke out on Instagram when she saw this post a few years ago. She wrote in the comment section, “Thank you @roka973 I AM THE WOMA WHO WAS SHOT IN THE FACE THE MOST SERIOUSLY INJURED PERSON… I have suffered a great deal of PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL PAIN behind this FOOLISH DISPLAY OF EGO AND INSECURITY … God bless the others who shared in and survived this tragedy with me… I lay here in bed thanking God for sparing me in spite of all the tribulations… Feeling at PEACE… Only to see @upnorthtrips displaying sympathy for celebrities who played THE INSTRUMENTAL ROLL IN MY INJURY AND PAIN… Way to go @upnorthtrips give yourself a …… ” In 2011, MTV reported that Diddy settled with all three victims of the club shooting, and Reuben was reportedly paid $1.8 million. Hit the flip for more photos from the trial. #NeverForget.

Heidi Montag’s gone through another radical body transformation. But don’t worry — this time, it was all natural. She’s showing off her post-baby body, just a few months after she and Spencer Pratt welcomed their first child , a precious baby named Gunner Pratt . Now, Heidi’s telling all about her weight loss and revealing if she would ever consider getting plastic surgery. Speaking to Us Weekly , Heidi talks about her post-baby bod … and starts by talking about how much she gained while pregnant. “I thought I would gain maybe 20 or 30 pounds during my pregnancy.” Generally speaking, average weight women should gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. An underweight woman should gain between 28 and 40 pounds. “But I gained over 45.” That sounds about right, for a woman as tiny as Heidi. It was only in February — four months after sweet baby Gunner was born — that Heidi says that she was first able to slip into a pair of jeans that were not maternity jeans. But the wait, she says, made it all the more rewarding. “It was very exciting.” We’re sure that it was. “It made me realize I’d lost a lot of weight,” she says. How much, exactly? The former The Hills star estimates that she’s down to about 107 pounds. “I just had a baby, I’m very emotional.” That’s no surprise. And it’s likely not a feeling that will go away for Heidi any time soon. “I’m eating healthier than when I was pregnant, ironically, because I want to make sure Gunner has all the nutrients he needs.” Well, you crave some things while pregnant, but don’t necessarily retain those same cravings when you’re lactating. “Having a baby has made me really appreciate my body, not just how it looks. It’s just amazing, the human body.” It’s great to hear that she’s appreciating her body. There was a time, of course, when she did not. She famously underwent 10 different surgeries in one day. Is she feeling that way again? “I have no temptation to have any kind of surgery after having a baby.” She says that her desires at the moment are very simple. “I want to breast-feed and have my breasts for that.” She does hint that she might get something done … some day. “Maybe I would get my boobs done after all the kids we have.” One is tempted to imagine a devilish twinkle in her eye as she delivers that line and begins to dissociate, envisioning all of the different procedures that she might undergo. Fortunately, however, she says that she’s no longer vulnerable to those sorts of temptations. “But I might just be over that phase of my life.” Heidi talks about her diet. “I just eat whatever I want here and there. I try to make sure I get enough food instead of limiting food.” She repeats the same meals. “I pretty much eat the same thing every day.” And she’s sort of humble-bragging about how she lost the baby weight in just a few months. “The weight came off really easy. Actually, I wasn’t even trying very hard. I just try to eat really healthy.” And she lists exactly what a healthy diet means to her. “I try to have protein with every meal. I try to have vegetables twice a day. And then I also try to get some carbs in there.” Take a look at how gorgeous she looks now! She looks great! And to hear Heidi tell it, losing that weight was incredibly easy. “Every day is kind of a cheat day. So, if I just want a bite of something, I will. I’m not a person who has to have, like, the whole box of doughnuts.” Before you think that her diet will be easy to emulate, know that, genetics aside, this is also a woman who goes on four hikes a day (one with each dog) and who also carries around a four-month-old baby. Also, even with a seven-month baby bump, Heidi kept exercising. So … that’s the sort of person she is. It’s no surprise that her body is so amazing already.

WENN.com Celebrities Who Got With Adult Film Stars Your President is in the news right now for getting involved with adult film star Stormy Daniels, threatening to put his entire presidency in peril. But getting it on with adult film stars is part of the rich and famous lifestyle apparently. That’s because Trump isn’t close to the only person to get with movie stars of the XXX variety. These celebrities did it too…allegedly. Take a look.
Celebrities often make headlines for what projects they’re working on, what’s going on in their love lives and what they’re wearing on the red carpet, so it’s nice when they’re in the news for doing something to help others—and Will Smith and his son Jaden are helping out in a big way. #Flint : Will and Jaden Smith Will Donate Water Monthly Until Lead Levels in Schools are Down https://t.co/5rHrmWnTfO pic.twitter.com/cZGl1qdcBD — The Root (@TheRoot) March 6, 2018 The Root is reporting that Will and Jaden Smith are helping out the city of Flint, Michigan, as the father-son duo has committed to providing clean water to local schools in the area until lead levels are down significantly. The water provided will be from the company they started together called Just Water. Via The Root: Just Water, an eco-friendly water company started by celebrity father-son duo [Will and Jaden Smith], donated 9,200 bottles of water to the city and will continue to do so on a monthly basis until lead levels in the water at Flint public schools are below the federal threshold. Just Water CEO Ira Laufer told MLive that the donation was a “no-brainer.” “This just makes sense for us to do,” Laufer said. “Jada Smith has visited Flint and met with the mayor. Flint is very dear to her heart. … After reading more about [Flint’s] challenges and the mayor objecting to pulling bottled water from the schools, we thought ‘Let’s help these kids.’” Laufer [said] that the Smith family is “aware of the Flint donation and very excited.” Just Water was founded by the Smiths in 2015. Its packaging is crafted from almost all-renewable sources, and Laufer said that its water comes from an ethically sourced model contributing to the economy in Glenn Falls, N.Y. [The company] sent four pallets of water to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan on March 1. Meanwhile, Flint schools had initial tests conducted back in February that showed lead levels were below the federal action limit, however, five of nine elementary schools had at least one test that exceeded that threshold. Over the last 18 months, Flint’s water supply has tested within federal guidelines for lead, but residents are still strongly cautioned to use bottled water and/or faucet filters as a precaution against further contamination.
