Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN Will Smith ‘s next project is back at Netflix and he’s playing a legendary crime boss! Smith will play Nicky Barnes in the upcoming film The Council , a movie based around the never-before-told story of a crime syndicate consisting of seven African-American men who ruled Harlem in the 1970s and early 1980s. Per the synopsis, “No ordinary crime syndicate, the men dreamed of a self-sufficient and self-policing African American city-state, funded by revolutionizing the drug game.” Wow. The movie apparently centers on the court intrigue between The Council’s Nicky Barnes aka ‘Mr. Untouchable’ and all the different members as one unlikely rising protégé emerges.

Remember, we found out that Barnes actually passed away earlier this year and he had lived a life of being rather anonymous after he was arrested in 1978 on racketeering and drug charges. He was sentenced to life in prison but turned government informant and placed in Witness Protection. The film doesn’t have a director attached but Smith won’t be the first Nicky Barnes on screen. In 2005, Sean “Diddy” Combs played Barnes in the Carlito’s Way prequel, Carlito’s Way: Rise To Power and in 2009, Cuba Gooding Jr. portrayed Barnes in American Gangster starring Denzel Washington .

Rihanna is building an inclusive beauty and fashion empire the world has never seen before. I’m not even hyperbolizing. It’s all true with receipts to back it up. She launched the most inclusive makeup collection with 50 shades from from fair to deep cocoa before creating a lingerie line that doesn’t make women desire to be the fantasy, but rather remind them they’ve always been the fantasy, regardless of shape, size, color, or condition. No male approval needed. View this post on Instagram @savagexfenty’s new June drop!! OUT NOW! savagex.com A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Jun 1, 2019 at 7:07am PDT She’s truly dominated the fashion and beauty space since entering in 2014. As the creative director at PUMA, she increased the brand’s earnings at a net income increase of 92% for the quarter, with the company’s share price rising €200 since her role was announced, according to Billboard . Let’s not forget her Fenty Puma creeper was crowned FNAA’s 2016 Shoe of the Year . And, as of May 2019, Rih launched her luxury fashion line Fenty with LVMH (the French French luxury goods company that owns Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton), becoming the first woman ever to do so. Thanks to these boss moves, sis is the wealthiest female musician in the world . Yes, musician. Which brings me to my point. As Rih Rih expands her brand grows into her very own right as a mogul, her music seems to suffer and it’s not like fans haven’t noticed. Neon zebra-print undies and perfectly pigmented lip paints can only distract us for so long. Don’t get me wrong, I own a few (read, a lot) of Fenty items between makeup and clothing , but when it comes down to it, I’m a Rihanna fan, and as a fan I’m alway going to want what I originally came for, and that’s music (followed closely by her ability to throw shade). View this post on Instagram @fenty A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on May 27, 2019 at 4:11am PDT It’s been a cool three years since Rihanna released ANTI which featured SZA and Drake. In May 2018, she told Vogue fans can expect something a bit more Caribbean and “devoted to exploring [her] Caribbean roots.” View this post on Instagram #GuavaIsland @amazonprimevideo hit the link in my bio A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Apr 17, 2019 at 4:08pm PDT In December 2018, a fan asked Rihanna when she planned to release R9 by writing under a promotional photo of Fenty Stunna Lip Paint in Flamingo Acid. “2019” she said. Looks like Rihanna is dropping her album in 2019. pic.twitter.com/RfQq9T6AZ2 — Karen Civil (@KarenCivil) December 22, 2018 Looks like she’s got about three months before The Navy riots. But seriously, on Sept. 10, Rihanna shared more heartbreaking news concerning her album while on the red carpet for her Savage X Fenty fashion show. “Y’all gon’ have to wait Navy. I’m so sorry,” she said to Entertainment Tonight . https://twitter.com/musicnewsfact/status/1171771545934422021 She also refuted reports she’d be performing at the Super Bowl. “Girl, I still got an album to finish. You’re asking me about the Super Bowl, really? My fans are about to have my neck,” she finished. Hmm… this sort of statement kinda sounds like the album is far from finished. View this post on Instagram Nobody: Me: Album coming in 2019 Navy in July: A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Jul 11, 2019 at 11:22am PDT Come to think about it, Rih’s been silent on the album front ever since speaking with Vogue in May 2018. Her Instagram doesn’t let on that she’s in the booth and no producers have spilled any beans on making any in-studio magic. So, is the album ever coming? There may be some hope yet. During the same conversation, Rihanna let on that she’d be more than willing to collaborate with alternative rap artist Lizzo , on anything. “I would collaborate with her on the lights for this interview right now, like Lizzo is so badass.” She definitely is and hopefully she can light a fire under our beloved Bajan beauty. After extensive research, this is all we got — a promise and a whole lot of makeup and undies to wait out the remaining three months. Sigh… I’m crossing my fingers for 2019 R9 , but I don’t suggest holding your breath. DON’T MISS: Can Y’all Stop Speculating On Rihanna’s Womb & Just Let Her Eat?

You don’t need to know who Arina Lush is….because I don’t know who she is. I just think the tanline photoshoot she is the star of is pretty great…I mean not THAT great, but still something a little different, a little comedic or ironic, a little Canadian Prime Minister in Black/Brownface, like every single fucking girl on INSTAGRAM, including but not limited to Ariana Grande, but who don’t get called out as racists…because we’re too busy jerking off to them…coupled with not thinking that brown make-up is a racist thing. It is not “mocking” people to emulate people…it’s all in good fun… I am not trying to overhype this shoot, it’s really not THAT great but my expectations are so low from all the laziness of social media photoshoots that something as basic as this stands out. I think that’s more a testament of the state of instagram content and less about these tits…that are still tits being shown off for attention..

Source: Paras Griffin/Getty Images / Getty Kenya Moore’s RHOA Cast Members Blindsided By Split The unexpected breakup of a RHOA cast member and her husband reportedly has the ATL housewives SHOOK. As previously reported Kenya Moore and her husband of two years Marc Daly, announced last week that they were splitting amid rumors that he has a secret ex-wife and children. The news was especially shocking considering that the couple made a joint appearance on “The Tamron Hall Show” and appeared together at a benefit reception in honor of the Black Man Lab at the Wimbish House in Atlanta. If you found the couple’s split shocking, you’re not alone. Kenya’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” costars were reportedly blindsided by the divorce announcement. TheJasmineBrand reports that the ladies of RHOA couldn’t believe the news—-but production is allegedly “relieved.” Why? Well because Marc was reportedly “difficult to work with” and “had lots of restrictions concerning his participation in the show.” Sounds fathomable, Marc was noticeably absent on the show and his appearances were very few and far in between. Remember when he finally showed up and the ladies couldn’t help but harp on his nose ring? The ladies are currently finishing up filming season 12 and they’re taking a scheduled cast trip to Greece (must be nice). And while rumors swirled that Kenya skipped out on the festivities, she confirmed herself that she’s currently overseas with the ladies; Cynthia, Porsha, Kandi, NeNe, Tanya Sam, and Marlo. Kenya went on Instagram Live this morning to show fans that she’s putting on a brave face and traveling to the foreign country. Will YOU be tuning in to RHOA this fall to see the fallout from Kenya’s divorce???
Source: Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage/ Steve Granitz/WireImage *whispers* they look nothing alike… Michelle Williams Claps Back At Angry Trolls Saved and sanctified Destiny’s Child alum Michelle Williams is SICK and TIRED of being confused with award-winning actress Michelle Williams who delivered a beautiful message to sexist Hollywood bosses devaluing women of color in the industry. “When a woman, especially a woman of color … tells you what she needs to do her job, listen to her… so that she can succeed because of her environment and not in spite of it,” Williams said to rousing applause. Every boss everywhere should watch Michelle Williams’ #Emmys speech. Hear it, live it pic.twitter.com/cg8DXminfo — Siobhan Morris (@siomo) September 23, 2019 Naturally, this riled up dusty trolls who attacked Michelle Williams–the wrong Michelle Williams. THAT Michelle Williams is not the Michelle Williams who responded to the outrage with a hilarious video addressing the mix-up (that we’re sure happens ALL THE TIME), congratulated the other Michelle Williams on her Emmy-winning performance and revealed a side of her we rarely see. So, the folks who are pissed and pressed about Michelle Williams’s (Actress) moving and brilliant #Emmy speech are tagging and aiming their anger at Michelle Williams (Singer), and she is fed up! pic.twitter.com/d7NAQyBndm — shar jossell (@SharSaysSo) September 24, 2019 Who knew Michelle Williams was funny??? No, seriously, why are we just discovering this yearsss later?? This would certainly explain why she fit right in with Kelly & Beyonce!
Demi Moore has gone public with a truly shocking and harrowing admission. It has to do with something that happened to the actress as a teenager… her mother’s role in this tragedy… and the affect it continues to have on the star. According to Moore in her just-released memoir, “Inside Out,” her very own mother orchestrated a sexual assault against Moore when the actress was 15 years old. In this book, Moore claims that her alcoholic mother, Virginia King, began taking her to bars to get noticed by men when Moore was a young teenager. One night, she came home to find an older man there … in possession of a key to the apartment. After this man had raped her, Moore alleges he said her mother had sold her to him. In the book, she writes: “It was rape. And a devastating betrayal, revealed by the man’s cruel question: how does it feel to be whored by your mother for $500?” Asked if she believed the man, Moore told Diane Sawyer in an interview this week: “I think, in my deep heart no. I don’t think it was a straightforward transaction. But she still did give him the access, and put me in harm’s way.” Moore’s mother died in 1998. At the age of 12, Moore writes that her mom tried to commit suicide and she was the one who saved her life. “I remember using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow, out of her mouth,” Moore writes in the memoir, labeling this a “life-changing moment” for her. The actress would go on to check into rehab drug and alcohol abuse in the mid 1980s, prior to making it huge in Hollywood with roles in such blockbusters as Ghost, A Few Good Men and Indecent Proposal. She has made numerous headlines over the past several due to the many revelations in this book, such as: – One of the reasons she split from ex-husband Ashton Kutcher is that he talked her into threesomes that she later regretted . – She miscarried a baby girl six months into her pregnancy back when she was married to Kutcher. – After her divorce from Kutcher, she dropped down to 102 pounds and collapsed at a party and was hospitalised after smoking synthetic cannabis and inhaling nitrous oxide at one point. “I guess the fundamental question that came forward for me was, ‘How did I get here?'” Moore shared with Sawyer, referencing the party collapse and adding: “I mean, from where I started to what I’ve experienced, where I’ve been, how did I get here?” Continued the actress of this time period: “I lost me. I think the thing, if I were to look back, I would say, I blinded myself and I lost myself.” Inside Out went on sale on Tuesday, September 24. We wish Demi Moore the best.
One of the big problems with the social media age is that many people find themselves constantly comparing their own circumstances with the lives of others. For example, the camping trip you took in July may have been the highlight of your summer, but when held up against that European backpacking excursion your Instagram mutual keeps posting about, it looks pretty lame. Nowhere is the phenomenon more evident than in the rebellion of Jinger Duggar. Many young adults who make a conscious decision to live in defiance of their parents belief system do so by getting neck tattoos, living in yurts, or supporting Andrew Yang. Jinger’s dissent takes a much more subtle form, but it’s no less courageous. In fact, given how strict her upbringing was and how much she has to lose, there’s more bravery in Jinger wearing pants than in your typical millennial pursuing a bachelor’s degree in pole dancing studies. First, Jinger married a man her parents don’t approve of, Then, with his permission, she defied the famous Duggar dress. Earlier this year, Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolo relocated to Los Angeles , a move her famously ultra-conservative parents most definitely did not approve of. The situation has become so dire that rumors of Jim Bob and Michelle disowning Jinger have been circulating non-stop on social media. We doubt things are quite that bad, but it’s evident that Jinger is not her parent’s favorite these days. (Jim Bob and Michelle have yet to visit the Vuolos in LA, and contact between the two couples is limited.) Through it all, Jinger has continued to wear the clothing that was strictly off-limits during her upbringing. And many fans think she’s doing so in defiance of her ultra conservative father: That’s a recent photo of Jinger spending some quality time with her eldest sister, Jana. It certainly looks innocent enough at first glance, but as you can see Jinger’s shoulders are exposed, which is a major no-no in the Duggar dress code. Jinger has permission from her husband to dress less conservatively than her sisters (like we said, all rebellions are relative), but you can bet her father is less than thrilled with this pic. Add to that the fact that Jinger appers to be passing her rebellious spirit onto her daughter, and it’s very possible that Jim Bob hit the roof: Yes, little Felicity is also rocking a sleveless top. It’s unclear if the dress code is as strict for young children, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this were Jinger’s subtle way of sending a message to her overbearing father. “Her outfit is so cute!” one commenter wrote. “Awww she is such a beautiful little girl like her momma!!” a second added. “My daughter has that same outfit!!!” A recent trailer for the upcoming season of Counting On teased a scene in which Jinger and Michelle finally have a frank discussion about her attire. “There is a lot in the media saying there is conflict between you guys about your choice to wear pants. Is there conflict?” a producer asks. Sadly, it looks like we’ll have to wait for the season premiere for her answer. Fortunately, it’s Jinger we’re talking about, so you can be sure she’ll speak her mind: View Slideshow: Counting On Sneak Peek: Jinger Duggar’s Rebellion, A Tragic Death, And MANY Pregnancies!
Source: VH1 / VH1 Fizz And Apryl’s Relationship Still Angers Fans We just love it when the reality shows start to catch up to the drama we witnessed in real-time. We were all pretty shocked when we saw Fizz and Apryl canoodling on Instagram and pouring copious amounts of dirt on Omarion’s name. It was all rather confusing. Now Love & Hip-Hop is finally giving us the inside story on the relationship and how it’s coming to be. As we learned last week, it appears as though this is all about Apryl feeling slighted by Omarion and wanting to get back at him while Fizz is just all about smashing her yadadameans to smithereens. The relationship got even deeper this week as Apryl expressed some mental anguish and emotional difficulties and Fizz was right by her side the whole time. While the moment even had Apryl’s family thanking Fizz for his dedication, the rest of the world was wondering why the hell he didn’t have the same energy for Moniece when she was dealing with these same problems? Fizz really just dipped on her and is suddenly Mr. Dependable for Apryl?
