Have there been some incredible moments? Absolutely, but the sketchy writing, befuddling creative decisions and Missandei’s shocking murder had everyone dragging the once invincible (and untouchable) show through Hell and back. But hey, at least we have Black Twitter to save us all from quite possibly the biggest letdown in TV history. daenerys trying to do her hair next episode without missandei pic.twitter.com/G74xil5IBB — ‎ ً (@uItramaIfoy) May 6, 2019 Peep MORE hilarious memes from the most DRAGGED “Game Of Thrones” episode ever.

112’s Slim Sues Ex Band Mates Q & Deron For False Advertising For Profiting Off Of Group’s Name (Exclusive)

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty “112s” Slim Said Ex-Band Members Have No Right To Use Group’s Name To Make Music & Perform They once had a double platinum debut album, worked with hip hop royalty like the Notorious BIG and were the toast of the Atlanta club scene. But the current situation among the former band members of the 90s group 112 is now so fractious following their 2017 breakup that lead singer Slim has sued his fellow crooners for allegedly dishonestly cashing in on the group’s moniker. That’s according to a lawsuit from Slim’s company, M3 Productions Inc., which sued both Deron and Q for trademark infringement, false advertising, deceptive trade practices and more, claiming the men were using the name “112” to make music, book appearances and perform when Slim owns the rights through the Federal Trademark Office, according to the complaint, which was obtained by BOSSIP. “It breaks my heart to have to engage in a lengthy, costly legal battle against the former members of the group,” Slim told BOSSIP exclusively. “However, countless promoters and agencies have notified us that Q and Daron, and their handlers, keep advertising the ‘112’ Name, despite knowing we own the mark and have humbly asked them to stop using it.” Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Slim’s lawyer James Walker said the situation was as if The Jackson Five’s Tito and Jackie Jackson tried to run off and do shows without lead singer Michael. Q “doesn’t seem to understand that he was the Tito of the group and Slim is the lead singer and owner of the mark – so move on with your career and respect the law and respect (Slim) as the owner,” Walker told BOSSIP. “We should not be in court, but for the continued false advertising, breach, infringement and bad faith of the defendants in using this mark on their advertisements.” Slim said in court papers that Q and Deron are well aware that he owns the trademark, and despite Walker sending them a cease and desist letter, the men still continue to book work under the name “112.” He said that his former bandmates use of the name “112” has caused confusion among fans, who wrongly assume that their work is actually associated with the real “112,” causing Slim irreparable harm. Slim wants the judge to force Q and Deron to stop using “112” when they perform shows, make music or attend paid appearances, his complaint states. He also wants a full accounting of the revenues Deron and Q made by using “112” as well as money damages. Source: Johnny Louis / Getty Neither Q nor Deron had responded to Slim’s complaint as of May 6, but Q may not have responded because he just filed for bankruptcy, according to court papers obtained by BOSSIP. Walker, Slim’s lawyer, said neither he nor his client wished any financial hardships on Q, but said that he hopes the bankruptcy will mean that Q will be willing to meet with them and settle their dispute. “He would not be filing this (bankruptcy), had his advisors met with us and listened,” Walker told BOSSIP. “We pray that part works out, but we will move aggressively in the litigation to protect Mr. Scandrick (“Slim”).”

‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Issa Couples Trip Straight Out Of A Tyler Perry Drama

Read more:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta takes a page straight out of Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married . We start with the crew headed to a cabin in the woods for Kirk and Rasheeda’s couples trip. Guests include, BK and Sierra, Scrappy and Bambi, Joc and Kendra, and Karlie Redd decide to be Shekinah’s plus one because what would a couples trip be without the random singles attached for drama and comic relief, right? Anyway, Karlie’s engagement is still “off,” so she and Shekinah are the single girls on the trip. The group splits up into two buses, one with men, one with women and this is where the drama starts. At some point, Karlie mentions to Kendra that she and Joc had some touchy, feely, kissy moments last year. She added that they got a hotel room last year and “his peen was out” (no mention of how it got out or why it was out and why they got a hotel room) and he begged her to have sex but she said no. Mind you, Kendra and Joc are supposed to have been together for three years or something like that, and apparently, Joc lied about what he and Karlie had going on. Meanwhile, on the guys’ bus, BK says he’s getting Sierra a ring made. Then on the girls’ bus Sierra says that she and BK are in a good place but of course, Karlie does the carrier pigeon thing again. She tells Sierra that “she doesn’t want to rain on her parade” but then rains on her parade by talking about how she got a text from Pooh claiming that BK sent some inappropriate text messages to her while they were on a group trip to Cancun. So now Sierra is irritated. But why was Pooh texting Karlie if they don’t even like each other? Sierra actually does confront BK on this trip about what Karlie Redd told her. BK denied the context of the convo (it was innocent and actually about his relationship with Sierra) and apologized to Sierra but she remained fake mad. Now, let’s fast forward a bit. We’re at a point on the trip where Karlie is practicing for her sex coach studies by giving the group a makeshift workshop by doing a demo of some toys. Kirk stirs the pot by asking her to demo the thing, you know, thee sex position that Joc was raving about on the radio not long ago. That’s enough to set Kendra off. She pulls Joc aside for a private convo to bring up what Karlie told her. Joc says it’s not true, apologizes, and says that he got Kendra’s name tatted on his peen so if Karlie had really seen it within the past year then she would have seen that. That seems to be enough for Kendra for now, kinda sorta, but later on it comes back up again. She brings it up to Bambi, who actually gives her some good advice. Basically, Kendra and Joc need to get on the same page or Kendra needs to leave if that’s what she feels she needs to do. Later on, Karlie’s ex-fiance, Mo, shows up to the retreat and tries to win her back. He states his about how he’s wrong for withholding information from her but doubles down on the fact that he didn’t know about the baby and that he messed with the woman before her. Karlie puts on a show and starts giving us theatrics about how he betrayed her trust and that she’s tired of how he doesn’t support her or her career…it’s so extra. This is the same man that just a few weeks ago she was trying to convince us that he was the one and how he was different from the others, for real, for real, so when did he stop being supportive? Anyway, this doesn’t go well and Mo decides to bounce. Smart man. Next, we find the rest of the couples back in the cabin with Rasheeda and Kirk playing counselors. They want to try to tackle some of the dysfunction by giving the couples wisdom about how to communicate and encouraging them to work on themselves and not let outside forces [*cough] messy birds like Karlie [*cough] split them up. Karlie, who isn’t with the couples right now, has been cited as the source of a lot of the drama on the trip. Duh! But anyway, Rasheeda even opens up and says that she has also been guilty of infidelity in her relationship with Kirk. We don’t learn what exactly happened on Rasheeda’s part other than that “her situation was a very long time ago, early in her and Kirk’s relationship.” Everyone is shocked and Kirk is sitting there with a smug look on his face. I guess this is supposed to be Rasheeda trying to keep Kirk from looking like the bad guy. But anyway, no thanks for the marriage advice. Or am I bugging? Do you want marriage advice from Rasheeda and Kirk? Next, Sierra, who is constantly irritated with BK for being shady, to admit that she “did something” with some guy who slid in her DM’s that he questioned her about after searching her phone. She does this because “wants to keep it real.” She apologizes and we end on that note.

Thomas Markle to Meghan: Will I Ever Meet My Royal Grandson?!

Early Monday morning, Meghan Markle gave birth to her baby boy ! She and Prince Harry are absolutely over the moon. Nothing at all could ruin this happy occasion.  … Except perhaps for Meghan’s horrible family blabbing to the media. Which is what her father, Thomas, has already done. Speaking to The Mirror , Thomas Markle Sr. released a statement on the birth of his royal grandchild. “I’m delighted to hear that mother and child are doing well,” Thomas announces. Childbirth can carry steep risks, and while wealth mitigates many of those, there are few guarantees in life. “I am proud that my new grandson is born into the British royal family,” Thomas gushes. That is an unsurprising source of pride. Very few people — and almost no Americans — can say that. Thomas’ statement continues, and he expresses high expectations of the young boy’s future. “And,” he says. “I am sure that he will grow up to serve the crown and the people of Britain.” That is the burden of the Royal Family, after all. Thomas expects that his grandson will do so “with grace, dignity, and honor.” Considering the boy’s parents, we would expect nothing less. “God bless the child,” Thomas says. “And I wish him health and happiness.” “And,” he adds. “My congratulations to my lovely daughter Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry.” Congratulations that his currently strained relations mean that he cannot offer in person. Thomas’ statement concludes: “and God save the Queen.” Meghan and Harry welcomed their precious baby early Monday morning, following reports that the duchess had gone into labor. Days may go by before we learn the baby’s name, let alone see the royal offspring. And royal though their son may be, he will not be a prince like his father. Instead, he is expected to have the title of Earl by default. However, the Queen may see fit to grant additional titles to her new great-grandson. It is within her power to do so. Last year, Thomas Markle was exposed as having been conspiring with paparazzi to have his photo taken. This scandal was a huge breach in royal protocol, and created tension between himself and his newly married daughter. After this, he began speaking out — saying whatever he liked — to the media, giving unsanctioned interviews. Meghan didn’t even personally inform him that she was pregnant. Thomas found out with the rest of the world — because he could not be trusted to not go blabbing to any news outlet that would listen. If Thomas had really been interested in repairing his relationship with Meghan, he would have stopped talking to the press — period. Instead, he was happy to speak again and again. The content of his public statements also worsened the father-daughter divide. He accused the royal family of brainwashing his daughter, comparing them to the Church of Scientology. Thomas also revealed the contents of private phone calls with Prince Harry. This statement about the birth, at least, looks like a small step in the right direction. But wouldn’t it have been better if he had said nothing at all? Presumably, Meghan would have preferred that. Last year, Meghan’s evil half-sister Samantha Grant expressed a desire that this royal pregnancy could mend their family rifts. But Samantha has since continued to attack Meghan in a series of vicious interviews. It sounds like she’s not interested in meeting her royal nephew. Well, that’s no great loss for him.

Amy Schumer Welcomes Her Very Own "Royal Baby!"

Move over, Meghan Markle . You are no longer the only famous person celebrating first-time motherhood today. Comedian and actress Amy Schumer announced to the world a few hours ago that she, too, has welcomed a child into the world, sharing the precious photo below of herself, her son and her husband on Instagram. “10:55 p.m. last night,” she wrote as a caption. “Our royal baby was born.” Schumer and Chris Fisher got married in a surprise ceremony in Malibu in February of 2018 . She then announced she was expecting in October. The following month, Schumer revealed she had been hospitalized due to hyperemesis gravidarum, a pregnancy complication characterized by severe nausea. It sounds like the past nine months or so have not been very pleasant for Amy. “I am in the hospital. I’m fine. Baby’s fine but everyone who says the 2nd trimester is better is not telling the full story. I’ve been even more ill this trimester,” the Trainwreck star explained back then. She continued at the time: “I have hyperemesis and it blows. Very lucky to be pregnant but this is some bulls–t! Sending so much love to the doctors and nurses taking great care of me and Tati! They are cool as hell!” Thankfully, Schumer never lost her sense of humor throughout this difficult pregnancy. Heck, she stopped at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL WHILE SHE WAS IN LABOR yesterday in order to pose on the front steps. “Met look this year. Last night on the way to the hospital,” she wrote as a caption to this amazing photo, making a reference to tonight’s MET Gala. No word yet on the measurements of Schumer’s son or his name. But we’re sure those details will come in time. We’re just glad Schumer is doing okay after delivery. “I love doing stand-up more than anything and I hate cancelling shows. I have to postpone some until I feel human again,” she wrote in November when her condition became too trying to bear. “But i will make up these dates and we will have a great time. “But I’m so grateful and excited to be a mom. I’m grateful I have access to healthcare, as we all should have.” This past Saturday, Schumer revealed the gender of her baby in a lengthy post where she spoke out against fast-food chain Wendy’s in the caption of an image featuring herself and Fischer in their pediatrician’s waiting room. “Hey! We love @chancetherapper and hate to be the ones to tell him that Wendys is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields. “This is true. Please read that sentence again,” she wrote in part, prior to concluding: “Also we are having a boy.” CONGRATS!

Per tradition, stars from sports, film, television, music and nearly every single industry that represents Hollywood stopped by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to dress in some very unusual outfits. And some wildly expensive outfits. This year's theme for the MET Gala? “Camp,” which is a refefernce to to Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay about artifice and stylization. Sontag notes that songs, movies, buildings, furniture, novels, people and, of course, clothes, all can encompass camp. In fact, Sontag gives her own examples of “campy” things, which included Tiffany lamps, Swan Lake, King Kong and Flash Gordon comics. Got it?  Whatever. Just feast your eyes on the crazy ensembles from this annual event below! 1. Lady Gaga in Black Lingerie Lady Gaga underwent multiple costume changes for the MET Gala. One of them did not involve very many layers. 2. Gaga Goes Gala Lady Gaga sure is pretty in pink. This was the main outfit she went with at the Gala in 2019. 3. Kris Jenner at 2019 Gala Welp, this is a different look for Kris Jenner. We didn’t even recognize her at first. 4. Charli XCX at 2019 Gala Charli XCX has never met an unusual outfit she didn’t like. So she fit in well here, 5. 21 Savage at 2019 Gala 21 Savage rocked this ensemble at the fashionable event. He’s looking sharp! 6. Mindy Kaling at 2019 Gala Mindy Kaling is known for being funny.

A teenager was reaching for yet another greasy fry from a shared basket at the mall’s food court when she was spotted by the agent that would change her life. It’s a popular couture themed spin on the traditional Cinderella story and it’s oft repeated in cover stories and documentaries . But it’s rarer than it seems. And for models like Christina Mendez waiting to be discovered was never an option. In an exclusive interview with HelloBeautifu l the former Full-Figured Fashion Week Model Of The Year and mother of two explained how her path to the runway differed from the storybook version.

I had a son and he was diagnosed with autism, so I was more engulfed with that situation than I was with fashion or even caring about how I looked,” explained Mendez. Though her son’s journey presented her family with significant difficulties his challenges also inspired her to live her dreams. Watching her child navigate through situations that were tougher than him than most kids filled with faith that anything was possible with the right amount of fortitude.

Modeling just meant to me like achieving a goal that I thought I would never be able to achieve and doing something that people assumed that I was never it was never gonna happen,” she said. Once her son was set into a regular routine Mendez sought out castings where she could start getting her face known around the industry. She had limited experiences before that she drew on. “I used to do fashion shows in high school like little high school things nothing major,” she revealed.

She acted as if it was besides the point in the moment showing up like she had as much of a chance as anyone else to be the one who ended up ripping the runway .

I met one designer that designer booked me for a job that job became a campaign and then it just triggered down into amazing stuff,” she shared. “I think it’s very important for me to speak up about that experience because coming into the industry you’re set up to think like around 16, 17 they’re gonna pick you up while you’re eating at McDonalds casually and some agent is gonna say ‘You look amazing! Your look is amazing you should fly to Paris! And that’s not really the reality. Not all journeys start that way.” View this post on Instagram Taking all kinds of risk in 2018 …who is with me? A post shared by Christina Mendez (@modelchristinamendez) on Jan 16, 2018 at 6:24pm PST She wants to combat the narrative that there is only way to make it as a model because she wants to prevent people from getting in their own way due to fear of failure. “You could kind of get discouraged and not continue with your dreams ,” she warns. “I feel like my faith and journey helps other ladies and women say there’s no limit to it.

She broke ground in more ways than one. “There was a lot of stuff I had to bring to the table that I had experienced like having a child with a disability and being vocal about that, so I was more vocal about that than I was about fashion for a long time,” she said. She found ways to slip vital information into the content she was pushing on social media and conversations that took place during the panels she was invited to speak on as her career shifted to higher levels.

Culturally we’re like ‘nothing is wrong with our kid’ ‘don’t talk to him’ it’s like we get really defensive and that really affects the outcome of our children. Even with mental health , we just try to sweep it under the rug and if we don’t talk about it, we can’t help our kids. So I feel super obligated to talk about it and fashion just gave me that platform.” She is also diligent about creating transparency around the images in the modeling industry. She uses her work with QVC to emphasize the importance of age and size diversity to her seven year old daughter. “I like to discuss you know, ‘This is an older model, This is a young model.’ No matter how different we look we are all models and beauty means something different to everyone.” But while the rise to creating change through her success was swift and strong there were definite roadblocks.

There were a couple of agents that dropped me because I couldn’t attend every casting.  I wasn’t that type of model that could fly to Paris for one day and come back for three days my life had to be planned because of him.” Never for a second did she doubt the decision to commit to those plans fully. “I always choose my kids first!

I will never forget this. It was Rocawear and they were sending models to Africa for this amazing shoot, one plus size girl one skinny girl. It was gonna be an amazing opportunity and I couldn’t make it because my son had a therapy appointment and I couldn’t find a sitter and I cried for days.” She did not let the misfortune stop her and soon she was seeing it as a blessing.

So, it wasn’t meant to be at that time, but everything comes around full circle and if you could just kind of express yourself to these agents and clients some of them will understand and others wont and that was just not your time and not your opportunity.” Today as she works with brands like BET, Ashley Stewart , Kmart, Kohl’s, Qristyl Fraizer Designs, and Rue107 she is an example of what can happen when you refuse to set limits on your potential. “My motto is you’re never too old. You’re never too big or small to achieve your dreams just go for it,” she stated. If you would like more information about Autism please visit AustimSpeaks.org .
