DaBaby is really coming up in the world, as he should be. Just a few months after dropping his debut studio album Baby on Baby , the rapper from the Tar Heel State released his sophomore effort Kirk this past Friday (Sep. 27). With his latest album on track to hit number 1 on the Billboard charts with 130K to 150K equivalent album units being moved (those new Soundscan rules are still hella weird), DaBaby took to the stage of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and with The Roots providing the beats and Stunna 4 Vegas hitting him with an assist, DaBaby proceeded to rock the crowd in New York City. Pumping out verses from some of his standout cuts from Kirk including “Intro,” “Really,” and “Bop,” the iced out rapper gave The Tonight Show crowd a performance they’d soon not forget. Check out DaBaby get down below and let us know your thoughts on his latest album in the comment section.

The Houston beauty is September’s cover star for L’Officiel Magazine . She was interviewed by none other than the Diamond Princess herself – Trina for the cover story! Check out excerpts below: Solange on creating: “I feel my most sure and beautiful when I am creating the work. When I am thick in the midst of my own guidance…when I am creating I am using and speaking from other parts of myself. My gut, my legs, my heart, my fingers, my throat. That feels like the best me.” Solange on her album, When I Get Home: “I wanted to create a bit more of a world with When I Get Home. A mecca that spoke to an environment and an expression. A place that you could go sonically and visually and digitally and feel immersed in as a project about what exactly the process of home is and the feelings behind it…This album was purely about feeling.” Solange on collaborating: “I find out things about myself that I can’t necessarily speak to when I am collaborating. There are so many facets of who I am, and that articulation just feels so much wider and more expansive when someone helps bring something out of you that you wouldn’t normally express…it can be the most rewarding feeling ever. More importantly, I learn so damn much.” View this post on Instagram Solange is redefining popular culture, one performance at a time. Her latest project?

Source: Cindy Ord / Getty Jhené Aiko’s “Triggered (Freestyle)” Gets The Remix Treatment Jhené Aiko has blessed us with another installment of her track, “Triggered (freestyle).” The new remix features a little help from 21 Savage and Summer Walker, who both follow Aiko’s lead in talking about their failed relationships. The songstress originally dropped “Triggered” back in May before also released a video for the song. While a lot of people took this as a diss song toward her on-again off-again boyfriend Big Sean , Jhené took to Twitter following the track’s release to assure everyone that the feelings she felt on the track are no longer. “triggered” was a moment. a moment that for me has passed. it is new to you because ur just now hearing it, but for me… it's something i moved on from the moment i expressed it. — Chilombo (@JheneAiko) May 8, 2019 Hopefully, this new remix means we’re closer and closer to some more new music from the California native, whose most recent album came out 2 years ago. In the meantime, take a listen to the “Triggered” remix down below:
Back in June, the world learned that Lisa Vanderpump is not returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . Sarah Paulson, first-rate actress and Real Housewives superfan, has something to say about it. Not only will she not miss Lisa on the show, but she had her own encounter with the SUR owner that cemented her opinion. To explain the set-up that you will see in the video that we have included, Sarah Paulson sat down for a lie-detector test. In the video for Vanity Fair , she sits down with a serious-sounding interrogation on her life, her career, and her pop culture interests. One should note that lie detector tests detect stress indicators, not lies, and are so bogus that results aren't admissible in court. One should also note that a “real” test would involve simple answers, mostly “yes” or “no.” But this is all in good fun. Until, that is, Sarah is asked about the franchise that she so openly adores — the Real Housewives . Sarah is asked if she'll miss Lisa Vanderpump now that she has departed from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . “Um, you know, I don’t want her coming after me on Twitter,” Sarah admits, which already tells you her answer. “But,” she continues. “I won’t miss her.” “I miss the dynamic she brings to the group,” Sarah acknowledges. She clarifies: “Which is, you know, the fear of God she instills in everyone.” “But no, I won’t miss her,” Sarah continues. Don't worry, folks — she explains precisely why. “I met her once at a party,” the acclaimed actress reveals. “She wasn’t that nice to me,” Sarah admits. “Am I going to get in trouble for that?” she asks. “She wasn’t that nice!” Sarah was also asked if she thinks that The Real Housewives of New York City will crumble and fail without Bethenny Frankel . “I think the star of The Real Housewives is the franchise itself,” Sarah opines. “So,” she predicts. “I think [ RHONY ] will survive without her.” “Although I personally will miss her,” Sarah admits. She then adds: “I’d like them to bring back Jill Zarin, though.” So, if Sarah's acting career were to go sideways, would she want to be a Real Housewife? Of course. But where? “New York,” Sarah answers. “New York is my number one.” “It’s my OG, as the kids say,” she adds. She even knows her tagline. Sarah shares: “Probably what my tagline is on Twitter, too: ‘Always hungry.’” “I’m an actress, after all,” she notes. This is absolutely not the first time that Sarah has gushed about her love for the franchise. Sarah absolutely adores Dorinda Medley, who came out to surprise her a couple of years ago on Watch What Happens Live . “I love her hair, I love her nose, I love the way she talks, I love the way she walks, I love her relationship with her daughter,” Sarah raved at the time. “I think she’s really funny,” she added. “And I think she’s no-bulls–t except for when she is, which I admire.” “And um, God, her walk. Did I mention her walk?” Sarah asks. “She’s got a good walk. I really love that walk.”

(Photo by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images) Stacey Dash’s descent to struggle is only speeding up. The world just got more of an inside look behind her recent booking. On Monday, September 30 the 52-year-old actress was arrested on charges of domestic battery. According to the police reports she allegedly assaulted her newly wedded husband Jeffrey Marty. While she was the one who called for police assistance she was the spouse who was put in handcuffs as Marty, who happens to be a lawyer, was found with scratches on his body. As spotted on Page Six the audio from her phone call has been released. On the recording the Bronx native is heard explaining her side of the story to the 911 operator. “We were all arguing, I asked his daughter to get out of my face, she was in my face. I pushed her back and he put me into a chokehold” she said. She goes on to detail that her hubby and his kids were in another room conspiring to frame her for the physical altercation. “They’re all saying what a b*tch I am, I’m the stepmother, how they all hate me. They’re just disrespectful, awful children” she vented. “They’re just talking with each other about how to put me in jail.” Midway through the call Marty is heard in the background. “I can’t believe you did this. I can’t believe you’d go after her like this” he exclaimed. He also welcomed the idea of police coming over to settle the grievance saying “I’m the one with the scratches.” You can listen to the audio below. Photo: Pasco County Sheriff’s Office

As part of the deal, Peele’s next two movies in which he will write, produce and direct, will be under the Universal banner. Jordan Peele ( @JordanPeele ) inks rich five-year first-look deal with Universal https://t.co/LyKkNAnhZE pic.twitter.com/H72xEiI2Fi — Hollywood Reporter (@THR) October 1, 2019 Speaking on the new partnership, Donna Langley, chairman at Universal Pictures stated: “Jordan has established himself as a premier voice and original storyteller with global appeal. He is leading a new generation of filmmakers that have found a way to tap into the cultural zeitgeist with groundbreaking content that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds. We also share an important goal with Monkeypaw when it comes to increasing representation on-screen in the characters that are portrayed, the stories that are told, and the people who tell them.” Jordan Peele added: “It would not have been possible to make Get Out and Us without the endless trust and support we received from Donna Langley and the team at Universal. Their willingness to take risks and their commitment to original content makes them the perfect collaborative partner for Monkeypaw. I couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead.” This union makes perfect sense with Peele’s first two projects under his Monkeypaw Pictures tentpole and Universal. 2017’s Get Out , and 2019’s Us both were critical and box office hits. Get Out is still holds the record for being the highest-grossing original picture from a writer/director with an original screenplay. Peele would go on to win the Acadamy Award for Best Original Screenplay plus earn nominations for Best Director and Picture. The film’s star Daniel Kaluuya was nominated for the Best Actor category. Us , Peele’s follow-up to Get Out broke records following its debut earlier this year. When it opened in theaters it quickly had highest-grossing opening ever for an original horror film; the highest-grossing opening ever for an R-rated movie. It also was the highest-grossing opening for a live-action original since 2009’s Avatar . Peele’s next project, a reimagining of the classic horror film Candyman, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II ( Aquaman ) just wrapped production.

Source: Tommaso Boddi / Getty Kylie Jenner And Travis Scott Relationship Is On The Rocks It’s a wrap for Stormi’s parents Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott . The two youngsters have called it quits…at least “for now” according to TMZ . Travis and Kylie were last seen publicly at his “Look Mom, I Can Fly” documentary premiere on August, 27th. According to a source, their relationship was shakey on the red carpet but they still came together as a family for the sake of supporting the project. Apparently, things have cooled all the way down since then, driving a wedge between them. Reports say Kylie and Travis have been trying to make it work in the weeks since his documentary premiere but ultimately decided to walk away. Earlier this year the couple had another hiccup where Kylie suspected that Travis was cheating. This was back in March 2019, but Travis denied it. Sources added that this isn’t the first time the couple has taken a break so theirs hope for them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on Oct 1, 2019 at 2:25pm PDT Any surprises that these two are having issues?
