Beyoncé and Donald Glover –also known as Childish Gambino — aren’t the only A list stars in this movie.

Desna Is A Stiletto Nails Kinda Girl, But Niecy Nash Prefers A Coffin Shape

Original post:

Source: NBC / Getty Niecy Nash’s fierce character Desna might be a stiletto shape nail girl, but Niecy Nash, in her real life, is a coffin shape nail kinda girl. The Claws star hosted an intimate lunch for NYC media, where she opened up about how Desna’s nail shape correlates to her fiery personality and why she loves being pampered. “I’m a coffin girl in my real life,” she revealed. “But Desna is a stiletto. We all have a different nail shape on the show. Virgina is coffin. Polly is oval. Jen is square and Ann is more natural — a very short length. We all have a different nail on the show that speaks to our personalities. But in my real life, I’m much more of a coffin girl.” Niecy’s biggest co-stars are her nails, which means they require a lot of attention. To care for her natural nails, Niecy has been wearing custom press-ons during her press runs. “It puts a lot of wear and tear on your nails when you’re on a show like this. My natural nails, I’ve been wearing them a lot more often. For my press run I do my custom press-ons just to give them a break.” View this post on Instagram Too much fun in these streets!

A post shared by Niecy Nash (@niecynash1) on May 29, 2019 at 2:47pm PDT And Niecy isn’t just pretending to know how to do nails on the show, she actually underwent nail tech training, but opts out of doing her own nails. “They put us through school and training to know how, but no,” she joked. “I like to be taken care of. I work so much and it’s not just the acting, it’s the care for the people even when you’re not on set.” With such a busy schedule, “to be able to have a beat to have someone take care of you, I sign up for it.” Claws airs every Sunday at 9pm on TNT.

Philippe Zdar: Music Producer Dies After Falling Out of Window In Paris

French electronic music producer Philippe “Zdar” Cerboneschi died Wednesday in a freak accident .  Philippe, an influential artist famed for being a part of the electric duo Cassius, accidentally fell through a window of a high building in Paris.  According to a report in the New York Times , the death of the 52-year-old was confirmed by Zdar’s booking agent in an email to the outlet.  “He accidentally fell through the window of a top floor of a Parisian building,” wrote the agent.  The BBC further reports that the French police are investigating the cast as a routine accident.  Philippe teamed up with his Cassius partner Hubert “Boom Bass” Blanc-Francard in 1988. A year later, the two released their debut album “1999” which  went on to become a defining work of the electronic music genre known as “French Touch.” According to People , he worked with Phoenix on the French indie band’s album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”, which won a Grammy for best alternative music album. Zdar’s beloved studio, Motorbass, was even used as a recording site for musicians like Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. This tragic news comes right before Cassius’ next album “Dreems” was set to release this Friday — he was scheduled to perform at NYC’s Summer Stage festival series in Central Park on Sunday.  Members of the music community who had worked with the late producer, or had been inspired by his work, are taking to social media to pay their tributes to the producer’s life.  Calvin Harris tweeted a YouTube link to the extended version of “1999” along with a personal heartfelt message. “Awful news about Phillipe Zdar, what an unbelievably lovely man with an incredible legacy,” he wrote. “I was mesmerized by this record at 15 years old.” Fellow French producer David Guetta shared a photo of Zdar, captioning the post: “Sad awakening here. I just heard Philippe Zdar from @CASSIUSOFFICIAL passed away.” “I can’t stop remembering amazing parties we had all together,” he said. “All my loving to your family, BoobBass and Pedro. RIP dg.” Phoenix also chimed in on Instagram with heavy hearts.  “Rest in Peace Zdar,” wrote the band. “I still remember watching the Wolfgang Diaries on YouTube.” “Still one of the best albums ever made,” said Phoenix, including a heart emoji. Producer Mark Ronson was “so f–king sad to learn about Philippe Zdar last night.” He tweeted that Zdar was a “true legend whose influence hangs over not just dance but indie, but hip hop, all of it.” “My condolences to his family and friends,” he wrote.  Zdar leaves behind his wife Dyane Cerboneschi and three children.  Our thoughts go out to his loved ones.
