While accepting the award Chadwick who was joined on stage by Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nygong’o, Danai Gurira, Andy Serkis, Sterling K. Brown, and Angela Bassett, gave a passionate speech about being “young, gifted and black.” “Well, I’ll be,” Chadwick Boseman, said. “To be young, gifted and black, we all know what it’s like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured. Yet you are young, gifted and black. We know what it’s like to be told there’s not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on, we know what it’s like to be the tail and not the head. We know what it’s like to be beneath, and not above. And that is what we went to work with every day,” Boseman also thanked “genius” director Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios chief and master architect Kevin Feige.

Source: JB Lacroix / Getty The Real Housewives of Atlanta crew is still in Tokyo. NeNe got all pissed with Tanya for thinking she was being negative. Tanya came to tears because she was confused about why NeNe was being hostile toward her. Basically, NeNe is going through her own stuff with Gregg and taking it out on everyone. Over it dot come. Since things don’t seem to be getting any less frustrating at lunch, NeNe decides to leave the group, which is probably for the best. Once lunch is over, they all pile onto their bus to head back to the hotel and that’s when Marlo and Eva get into it. It all starts when Marlo tries it. Basically, Eva explains how they should dress for their night out on the town and tells them not to wear wedge sneakers, which is silly but whatevs. That triggers Marlo and she starts attempting to go in on Eva for wearing flats. But anyone who has ever seen Eva on America’s Next Top Model knows that Eva has plenty of time. So, she starts going in on Marlo. It gets so bad that Marlo has no comebacks left other than, “Respect your elders.” We all saw the fallout from that comment in the preview commercial where Eva replies with, “I got two babies and a husband,” and then Marlo retorts with, “Two babies by two different men.” That doesn’t slow Eva down from roasting though. This entire situation is basic af. But we’re here for it. Let’s not front. Back at the hotel, Eva gets bad news about her grandfather. They’re going to remove his breathing tube so he’s going to pass away shortly after that. Tanya and surprisingly, Marlo, are the first to come to comfort her. Eventually, the other women come to check on her too. They give her space to cry and grieve, but Eva decides to stay in Tokyo and continue her trip. It’s what her grandfather would have wanted. It’s nice to see them not tearing each other to shreds for once, even Marlo’s evil self. Let’s fast forward a bit. NeNe is still acting all aggy because Gregg has been ignoring her, so obviously she’s not really trying to hear it when Tanya pulls her aside, again, to talk about her comment about her relationship. NeNe tells Tanya that she took it wrong. Tanya keeps pushing and repeats that NeNe was speaking negativity. NeNe finally apologizes, in a snippy way, but repeats that she didn’t mean it negatively and Tanya keeps talking in circles again about Nene speaking negatively and we’re all like: Let it go, girl. But they eventually seem to get over it and plan to finish turning up Tokyo-style. However, we know this group so we know peace probably won’t last long. Let’s meet back here next week to discuss.

Just over two months since her shocking death, we now know why Kim Porter passed away . The model, actress and ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs died of lobar pneumonia, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner announced on Friday. The manner of death has been certified as natural. Porter shared three children with the music mogual and remained a very close part of his life, long after the pair split up as a couple. Porter had only just wished Diddy as happy birthday days before she suddenly died. For those wondering, meanwhile… “Lobar pneumonia (pneumonia) is an infection of the lung caused by bacteria,” the official report reads, explaining further: “Immune cells invade the air spaces (where oxygen is taken in), and this is accompanied with necrosis (death of cells). Pneumonia decreases the lungs ability to take in oxygen, and over time it can cause sudden death.” According to this same report, Porter went to the doctor days before she died with “cold/flu-like symptoms.” A nurse also visited her home and gave her “saline solution with vitamins.” An autopsy was completed on Porter a day after she was found dead in her home on November 15. However, her death certificate previously stated her cause of death as “deferred” and the manner of death as “pending investigation.” The toxicology report says there were no narcotic drugs or alcohol in her system. She was 47 years old. Porter was buried in her hometown of Columbus, Georgia on November 24. In audio made public from Diddy’s moving eulogy , the rapper opened up about his relationship with Porter and vowed to keep her memory alive forever. “I just want to say to my kids, Justin, Christian, D’Lila, Jessie, Chance and the other man in the house, Quincy: Your mother instilled in me this, and I pledge in front of everybody right now that I will always be there for you,” he said, adding: I will always take care of you. Diddy and Porter broke up for good way back in 2007. But they remained on such close terms over the years that they never even agreed to a formal custody arrangement. They were vital parts of each other’s lives up until the day Kim died. Quipped Diddy in his eulogy: “To the girls especially, we about to enter some different type of times. I want you to be able to talk to me about everything, and I mean everything, and I mean everything.” He continued later on: “Kim, we gonna miss you so much. But I ain’t gonna miss you too much because I’m not gonna let your voice inside of me stop talking. “I know you like to talk to me a lot once you get on those rants, and I just want you to know I’m gonna be listening.” And he concluded: “As time went on, our relationship took so many different changes, from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being lovers to being best friends to being just straight-up homies, like somebody that you know you can count on. “We just love y’all, we appreciate y’all, appreciate the family. To all the words that I’m forgetting, to anything I’m forgetting to say, we love you, Kim.”

This week was a whirlwind of news for 90 Day Fiance couple Ashley Martson and Jay Smith. First, Ashley filed for divorce from Jay earlier this month, only to change her mind this week and withdraw the filing. Now, Jay shared a steamy video to social media to show that they're very much still together. Early Friday morning, Jay Smith shared an Instagram video with his followers. In the video, he is lipsyncing to “Senseless (Remix)” by Stefflon Don & Tory Lanez. While the song is pleasant and Jay is a good-looking dude, that is not what immediately caught the attention of 90 Day Fiance fans. Jay's head rests very comfortably on a pair of fair legs. And, as he is sure to show in the video, the woman on whose legs he is resting is not wearing any pants. The woman's head and face are not shown during the video, but it's not really a mystery. Fans and followers alike did not waste much time guessing the leg-bearer who places her hand on Jay's chest. “100% this is Ashley,” writes a 90 Day Fiance fan blog. “It's friggin Ashley,” comments a fan. “She blocked me after I said I would never let him tattoo me because I've seen his work!!” That hilarious comment concludes: “If she didnt care she wouldn't of blocked me.” We cannot argue with that reasoning. Another “clue” is the caption that Jay included in his video. “If you don't like the road you're walking,” Jay writes. “Start paving another one.” He tags his caption: “newstart.” It sounds like he and Ashley are giving their relationship a soft reboot and trying things again. This time, hopefully, without anyone downloading any dating apps. Ashley has not actually confirmed that she and Jay are back together. In fact, when a fan asked her why she won't give a simple yes or no, her reply said it all. Ashley wrote “nothing I like more than …” followed by a photo of a check. That seems to imply that, as has been rumored, Ashley and Jay have filmed for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Jay's video may crop out Ashley's face for contractual reasons more than anything else. Still, it's a nice video, and reassuring to the couple's fans. As viewers discovered to their horror on the Season 6 finale of 90 Day Fiance , Jay and Ashley had very ideas of what it means to be married. Ashley learned that Jay had downloaded a dating app — Tinder — within days of their wedding. She caught him video chatting with another woman three days after the nuptials. At the Tell All special, Jay shared that he was being totally transparent with Ashley. She herself shared that she felt torn, because monitoring his electronic behavior felt like being a babysitter, not a wife. At the same time, she did not simply want to ship him back to Jamaica. She felt responsible. Clearly, they've given things another shot, and we hope that it works out. Part of what helped the couple reconnect, it appears, was Ashley's battle with lupus that led to her emergency hospitalization with kidney failure. Jay flew to be by her side, gushing about his feelings for her in a now-deleted post. In the mean time, Ashley has shared that she is taking a step back from certain aspects of social media. “Fans, all I ask for is prayers,” she wrote on Friday morning. “I will not be sharing much information about my health any longer.” “My willingness to overshare came with nothing but scrutiny and backlash,” she lamented. “I need to focus on my health, family, and recovery for that month,” Ashley explained. She concluded: “I appreciate all who support me very much.” Good for her. She should take all of the time that she needs.

Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Warriors’ Draymond Green Engaged To Girlfriend Hazel Renee Warriors power forward Draymond Green probably isn’t too happy with his coach right now, but the reason has nothing to do with basketball. The baller reportedly popped the question to his girlfriend and former Basketball Wives star Hazel Renee, but how the world found out about the news is just as exciting as their engagement news itself. After a pre-game practice, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed to reporters, “The time’s been great. A nice change of pace during the middle of the season, especially in mid-January. Beautiful weather here, and a lot of guys have brought family members. Draymond got engaged. A lot of great stuff.” Rumblings of Draymond dating Hazel first sufaced back in October of 2017 and at that time, Green had to dispel rumors that he was allegedly cheated on his baby mama-to-be with her. But whatever their relationship status was at the time, it looks like things are going strong now. Neither Draymond nor Hazel has confirmed or addressed Steve Kerr’s statement about their engagement–but there’s a pretty good chance the guy knows what he’s talking about. Congrats to the happy couple!
Source: Susan Lupton / EyeEm / Getty 71-Year-Old Woman Marries 17-Year-Old Boy She Met At Son’s Funeral Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people? Almeda and Gary Hardwick were married in 2016 when they were 71-years-old and 17-years-old respectively according to NYPost . The couple met at the funeral for Almeda’s 45-year-old son Robert. Weird enough for ya yet? If not, get a load of this… Gary met and married Almeda while attempting to escape a relationship with a 77-year-old woman that he had been dating. “We were always fighting,’ said Gary. “I fell into depression and was looking for a way out.” Almeda was previously married but her husband of 43-years died in 2013 and she’s been looking for a lil’ spark in her life and in her loins: Almeda said: “I’d noticed this young man with a lovely smile during the service and thought, ‘Wow, this is the one.’” “He was on the other side of the church, but I kept looking over at him. It was like a bright light through the grief. “Then, as I was walking to the door at the end, he came over and passed on his condolences. We didn’t have much time, but it was enough.” We’re sure that Almeda isn’t the first person to feel lust during a funeral but that doesn’t make it any less weird. Especially when the object of her lust is barely old enough to drive. She recalled: “I just came out with it and said to him, ‘Look, I’m 71 and you’re 17. Am I too old for you?’ He squeezed my hand, grinned and replied: “Age is just a number.”’ We feel like we need a long hot shower. The couple had sex for the first time on their wedding night and previously described each other as “wonderful lovers.” “It was wonderful, beyond my wildest dreams,” revealed Gary. “She really is my dream woman and the physical side of our relationship couldn’t be better.” Throw all these people away.
