Source: SGranitz / Getty Mathew Knowles Reveals He Has Breast Cancer Mathew Knowles is breaking his silence about a personal battle that he’s beeing fighting for the first time. According to TMZ , Knowles will appear on GMA tomorrow morning to talk about his breast cancer diagnosis. It is unclear at this time when he was told of the disease, but we expect to hear more during his interview. It is reported that less than 1% of breast cancer cases involve men, but those that do usually happen to men between the ages of 60 and 70, Knowles is 62. In other sad reporting, National Breast Cancer Foundation states that the mortality rate is much higher in men than in women. We will be tuned in to GMA in the morning and we’ll certainly be praying for Mathew’s full recovery.
Kailyn Lowry’s personal life is complex, to say the very least. Kail has three baby daddies, which pretty much means her days are loaded with conflicts, both scheduling and otherwise. You never know from one week to the next how Lowry might feel about the men who fathered her three boys. Taker her relationship with Jo Rivera, for example. When they first parted ways, Kail and Jo found it difficult to reach an amicable co-parenting arrangement for the benefit of their son, Isaac. In time, however, Kail and Jo found a way to set aside their differences … at least for a while. Kail was even in attendance when Rivera married Vee Torres in the fall of 2018! Sadly, after nearly a decade of peaceful interactions, Lowry and Torres fought over child support earlier this year. Though the dispute was resolved back in March, it seems Jo and Kail never quite repaired their friendship. In fact, on a recent episode of her podcast, Lowry revealed that she “hates [Rivera’s] guts.” Strong words — and she has yet to retract them. But hey, that doesn’t mean her ill will extends to Jo’s new wife! No, surprisingly, Kail and Vee are actually close friends. Fans were reminded of this unlikely fact when Kail gushed about Vee’s latest Instagram pic. “Okkkk,” Lowry commented on the photo above. We realize that remark could be interpreted in a number of different ways, but Kail meant it as a compliment. Vee thanked her for the kind words (or word , as the case may be) and extended an offer to hang out. “We need to get our lives together and meet up!” Torres replied. So there you have it. Reality TV might thrive on drama, but that doesn’t mean its stars always have to. Now, Kail just needs to work on improving her relationship with Javi Marroquin. And Chris Lopez. Oh, and Javi’s fiancee, Lauren Comeau . Okay, so she has a lot of people with whom she should probably try and get on good terms. But for now, at least, she’s got Vee in her corner. And Torres will probably be a useful ally as Lowry continues to butt heads with Rivera. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Javi Marroquin Has Been Cheating on Lauren Comeau Since She Was Pregnant!
View this post on Instagram S U N D A E S E R M O N Nothing better than a Sunday in Harlem. : @keyairakelly A post shared by Nashipae Wanjira | Danielle J. (@theislandiva) on Aug 11, 2019 at 2:45pm PDT Wash and go’s have been my go-to for the summer. It allows me to bring moisture to my hair and in this hot weather, the last thing I want to do is weigh it down with a wig or weave. Many Type 4 women stray away from wash and go’s because of lack of curl definition and most importantly, shrinkage. Felicia Leatherwood stopped by Hello Beautiful to share details on how to achieve a wash and go that will turn heads! First off: there is nothing quick about this style. Leatherwood warned, “It’s gonna take at least 30 minutes.” So this isn’t the style to try when you are running late for work in the morning. The problem is that most naturals, when doing a wash and go, they just slap the product on top of the hair. Leatherwood shared, “The most important part is the sectioning of the hair.” Most naturals aren’t taking the time to section their hair in the shower and apply their products correctly. Leatherwood continued, “The outcome of the style is the sectioning and the hydration of the hair.” If sectioning seems tedious, don’t fret, Leatherwood educated, “If you section your hair from the front to the back and then ear to ear, you will move through it so quick!” Section your hair in four first, then divide each section. Beauties, you MUST section the hair or else you will miss hair. Leatherwood continued, “When you divide it (your hair) into fours, I like to do the shingling method.” She shared, “Imagine if you’re gonna flat iron your hair with the fingers. No matter what your texture, 3 or 4, your hair will start to form to it’s true texture.” Not all products work for Type 4 hair, “If you use a product that sits on top and it’s not penetrating, that product may not be the product for you. It needs to melt into the hair, especially if you have water, it should go easily into the hair.” Leatherwood revealed another wash and go tip. While you do want your hair completely drenched, “Have a t-shirt to help dab your ends.” Why a t-shirt over a towel? “A towel is meant to extract water. A t-shirt is made to insulate you. Then use your diffuser!” Beauties, do you have a must know tip for your Type 4 wash and go? Share in the comment section!

Source: Power / Starz P reviously on Power , Riq got in way over his head with Vincent thinking he can hoodwink and bamboozle the seasoned gangster. He learned quickly that Vincent isn’t the one to play with and got his ass kidnapped. This happened immediately after he delivered Proctor’s daughter to her Uncle Benny’s house. Speaking of Proctor, we lost a real one last week. With some help from annoying “nephew” Tommy shows up at the penthouse, guns blazing…literally. After wasting a ridiculous amount of ammo, he finally catches up with Ghost’s favorite attorney and kills him. Riq’s “Kidnapping” Isn’t What It Seems To Be Source: Power / Starz A s mentioned in the brief recap above, Riq’s failed attempt at being a hustler got himself kidnapped by Vincent. The episode picks right back up at Coney Island, but we learn quickly that this situation isn’t what it seems. Riq is using his kidnapping to basically extort his dad and Uncle Tommy. He thinks it will help pay back the money he owes to Vincent and get a 50/50 cut in the process. What he doesn’t know is Vincent doesn’t plan on paying him a damn cent and will kill all of them in the process. Meanwhile, Ghost and Tommy are now scrambling to get enough product together to so they can get the $2 million that Vincent is requesting in exchange for Riq’s life. After a bit of a squabble, the two finally decide to put their minds together to formulate a plan that will help secure that incredible amount of money. Tommy agrees to acquire an insane amount of product to push, and Ghost will use his connections to help pay for it. Ghost runs to Rashad Tate to ask him for a cool $1 million out of his campaign funs, and Tate hit him with the “n**** what?” Tate can’t stand Ghost’s ass, but unfortunately for him, the ever so slick former drug dealer has some dirt on him, so he has no choice but to give James the money. Ghost promises to hand over the recording to Tate and return the money in 24 hours. Tommy is handling business on his end and secures the ridiculous amount of drugs from Jason. Of course, Tommy’s drug connect is very curious as to why his distro needs so much weight. Tommy manages to quell Jason’s curiosity by basically telling him hey you got your money, now mind your business. While Ghost and Tommy are getting their plan together, Riq and Vincent are making sure their “kidnapping” is going down without a hitch. Vincent runs up on Tasha to break the bad news to her just to see if she knew anything about what was going down. Like Riq explained to his “kidnapper,” he was well aware Ghost would have not told his mother, and he was correct. After finding out what is going on, Tasha runs straight to Tommy’s crib to voice her frustration with Ghost. She learns that Ghost is now unwillingly back in the drug game and demands to help and offers to clean money through her daycare and help with the books. That’s all good, BUT Keisha who just became hip to drug game is not onboard with the idea. How are you gonna tell Tasha she can’t help get her own son back though? Source: Power / Starz Anyway, Tommy gets Holly 2.0 to calm down and accept the fact she is not in control of the decisions around the matter, and now everything is set. Tommy manages to get 2-Bit and Spank onboard with the plan to help move the product after Black Grimace shows he is down for the cause. Ghost recruits Dre by convincing the worried goon he’ll help find his daughter with some help from Tate plus in the process will help him become Jason’s new distro. Ghost still doesn’t trust Dre and reveals to him that he will be working with Alfonse to help him move the drugs. The plan goes off without a hitch, and they manage to get the money, and now it’s time to pay Vincent and get Riq back. Jason Is Right On Time To Ruin Everything Source: Power / Starz O n this show, you should have already known that nothing goes as plan. On the way to the drop off the money, Ghost and Tommy are ambushed by Jason and his crew. It would appear that Jason was watching them move the entire time, and he is not happy to learn of himself being out of the loop. To make up for the money the two former friends owe him, he decides to take half of the $2 million ransom request much to the dismay of Tommy and Ghost. Knowing they dodged a severe bullet, Ghost and Tommy are now $1 million in the hole and don’t know what to do. The only logical thing they can think of is to go to Vincent with what they have and explain to him what happened. If you said to yourself that idea wasn’t going to work, then you were 100% correct. Vincent did not care and to let them know he wasn’t playing whooped Riq’s ass with a sack of oranges. Secretly we were here for it, but Ghost wasn’t, and we understand, who wants to see their son get brutalized with fruit? After Vincent goes ham ono Riq’s stomach, he tells Ghost and Tommy they got another 24 hours to get the rest of the money or Riq is dead. Jason isn’t their only problem, the feds led by Blanca and her terrible fake Rosie Perez detective voice trying to get to the bottom of Proctors murder. The whole incident seemed quite fishy to them with the backdoor being left open and no sign of forced entry. They want to question Riq about Proctor’s murder, but unfortunately, he’s currently being held “hostage” at the moment and can’t talk to anyone. Tasha To The Rescue Source: Power / Starz G host and Tommy return to Keisha and Tasha with the bad news about the drop. All hope seems lost, but Tasha comes through in the clutch. Now granted it only happened because Keisha opened her big mouth about Tasha’s side hustle at the daycare, leaving her no choice but to spill the beans. Ghost is livid at first to find out that Tasha has been hustling without his knowledge and wants to meet her connect. She, of course, says no but after some convincing from Tommy, he gets down with the plan. Keisha then points out that they need a plan B and Tasha then comes up with another idea, they should hit club Truth. The plan is to rob all the rich folks who in the building for the fundraiser event for Tate. Ghost with the help of his potential new replacement for Angela, Romana came up with the idea to help Tate raise cash. James thinks it’s a good idea and Tommy recruits 2-Bit, Spank, Black Grimace while Ghost adds Alfonse to the mix. Tasha also suggests that it would be a good idea that Ghost tells Vincent that he needs to allow Riq to talk to the cops, Ghost agrees because he knows Vincent wouldn’t want the heat surrounding him during this extortion scheme. Vincent agrees to let Riq meet with Blanca and the detective on the case. Can we add how terrible both of them are at playing cops? Anyway, Riq puts on his scared young teen act telling them he left to get some hot chocolate, and the only reason he went through the back door was to avoid a “racist neighbor.” He sealed his story with the ultimate kiss by claiming how tired he was of seeing people die and that he was sorry to hear about Proctor’s death and as far as we know both detectives ate it up. Once outside Tasha pulls her son to the side to ask him why did he make up such a bullshit story and he explains that he knows that Vincent is going to kill them all after he gets the money. When Tasha touches his stomach area, he winces in pain, and she discovers the bruises from Vincent beating him with the oranges. Source: Power / Starz Before the plan to rob Truth goes into effect, Ghost links up with Uncle Benny to speak with him in person about Proctor’s death and extend his condolences. He also wanted to share some information on who could have done it mentioning the name his now-former attorney said to him the last time he spoke with him. Benny is grateful for the tip and promises to repay Ghost if he needs anything. Ghost decides to call in that favor now asking for some help from Benny’s men. Run The Jewels Source: Power / Starz I t’s time for the big heist. Everyone is playing their part, Dre is moving the new product Tasha supplied through the club while her stripper accomplice from last week is making good on her end at the strip club. Tate approached Ghost about the money and revealed to him that somehow someway the all of it was returned when the accountants checked the books. While everyone was sipping on expensive champagne and hob-knobbing, they had no idea they were about to be jacked by 2-Bit, Spank, Black Grimace, and Alfonse. Dre who doesn’t know about the plan sees his former associates 2-Bit and Spank puts on his best confused but scared look. 2-Bit who was tasked to kill Dre before spots him and decides this would be a good time finish the job he started. Dre somehow manages to slip, and 2-Bit goes back to the matters at hand. Once they are all dressed up in the heist drip, they bust in the party demanding everyone to give up their jewelry and money. They quickly relieve everyone of their possessions and 2-Bit, Spank and Black Grimace leave. Alfonse for whatever reason decides to be extra and bother Ramona. Tate immediately recognizes Alfonse and tells James. Ghost recognizing that this could mess up the plan gives Tate his gun and decides to try and convince Alfonse to just leave. For whatever reason, Alfonse decides nah and hits Ghost in the stomach with his shotgun, Tate being a former police officer shoots and kills Alfonse. Source: Power / Starz After the dust settled, Tate now looks like a crime-fighting hero, the money he stole is insured so it will still come back. Ramona is pleased with all that goes down; you can tell she wants to give Ghost the business for what just went down. Source: Power / Starz Could she also be onto Ghost as well? Time will only tell. Ghost Knows Tommy’s Dirty Little Secret Source: Power / Starz W ith all the money secured, it’s time for the drop off part 2. Ghost and Tommy arrived with the cash and one of Vincent’s men they kidnapped as bonus insurance. Vincent and his cronies come with Riq, Tommy drops off the money, and the exchange is made. Vincent immediately shows his hand revealing his plot to kill all of them. Ghost came prepared, and signals for Benny and his crew to show up. The two mobsters know each other and Benny tells Vincent that since Riq kept his niece safe during her father’s murder, he is protected for life. If he kills Riq or anyone associated with him, there will be an all-out war between the two families. Vincent decides to take his money and back off. Source: Power / Starz While thanking Benny for his services, Ghost notices Tommy’s reaction towards him, while Tommy notices that Benny only did what he did because Ghost told him who Proctor’s killer was. After Benny leaves, the two former friends and business partners have one last moment together before parting ways. While at Source: Power / Starz Tasha’s new digs, Ghost has an epiphany and realizes that Tommy killed his attorney and Riq helped him do it. Meanwhile, Tommy knows that Ghost is well aware that he killed Proctor. Keisha pledges her allegiance to Tommy vowing to kill anyone who tries to hurt her man (yeah right). Tommy tells her to chill he got this, and the war between the two of them is back on. Well so much for that truce.

She has also performed in critically acclaimed off-Broadway productions and is about to launch a cabaret act. Years before she pressed send on her submission to be featured in New York Fashion Week Nicque Marina envisioned herself as a star. “I’d done some modeling when I was younger I did theater and stuff when i was in high school. It was more like print stuff, like way back in the 90s ,” Marina told Hello Beautiful , in an exclusive interview about what happens when a dream refuses to be deferred. Source: Soils Puoane / CurvyNoire The model and singer sought an education that brought her to unlikely places and tucked her talent right along in her suitcase. “I joined the military mostly out of necessity ‘cause that was the only way I was gonna go to college. So I went to the Air Force Academy because they gave me a full ride and I just kept on performing even though I was in the Air Force . I just kept on seeking opportunities and I never let that go.” Serving in the Air Force gave Marina a chance to sharpen her skills and pick up some new ones.

I worked for air force entertainment. I was in a group it was a traveling show of Air Force members and we performed for other Air Force members around the world and so yea we were pretty much required to be in makeup all the time and look like Miss America all the time. But we also we were the load in and load out crew. I was in charge of constructing the stage and overseeing that and so we were doing all this heavy labor. We were screwing things together, we were doing a lot of heavy lifting and we had to be in makeup all the time. We were in heavy makeup all the time we had to look pristine and perfect while doing all of this real rough stuff.” The strenuous experiences prepared her for what many models have learned while enduring the realities of fashion week. “You have to be pleasant and smiling all the time, even though you’re sleep deprived and tired and you just don’t wanna smile anymore.” View this post on Instagram Minneapolis was real, but time to get back to work in The Greatest City in the World. A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Aug 4, 2019 at 3:01pm PDT It was a revelatory time for her. “I was based out of Grand Forks, North Dakota but I traveled pretty much world wide I’ve been to like sixteen countries I deployed during Christmas time to the Middle East . We were in Kuwait, Jordan, Djibouti, Qatar and United Emirates quite a few places.” It pushed her physical and spiritual abilities to the limit, and forced her to expand her ideas of womanhood . “It was a struggle to keep your femininity and also do all these really rough jobs, but I think it gave us a better sense of our femininity. Like to be able to feel empowered to look pretty and dance, and sing, and everything but also be there right alongside the guys. You know throwing things into the truck and putting set cases together setting up lights and everything it made no difference and so I think that was really cool.” She found strength as apart of the group but sadly she did not find true community there even after returning to the United States . “I’ve been in North Dakota for a long time and there’s not really a lot of diversity there.” View this post on Instagram Trying to make this monster migraine loom sexy A post shared by Nicque Marina (@nicquemarina) on Nov 9, 2017 at 8:13pm PST Marina remained engaged with media sources that catered to black women including Madame Noire and Hello Beautiful when she could and soon she saw an opportunity to comment with the outlets offline through a model search opportunity. “I didn’t expect much to come of it I just sent an application and said okay we’ll see what happens,” she shared. “I’m a reader of the site I follow MadameNoire on Facebook and I read a lot of their stuff day to day and I come across their traffic site quite often and I just happened to see that and I decided to go for that. I think it’s really cool highlighting all these different women some that we’ve heard of a little bit and then some we haven’t heard of just learning about their stories the unique things that they’ve had to overcome and their unique journey because there’s no one journey to success.” “It was really it was really cool to be around Black women again and like so many beautiful, beautiful, confident, women! The energy was palpable and it was really refreshing to be in that environment,” she said about her experience at CurvyNoire. Maui Bigelow and MadameNoire gave her an experience that she was missing while in uniform. “I haven’t been able to do that in a really long time.” Sitting on the smaller end of the plus-size spectrum, she wasn’t sure she would be selected. “I’m not the largest or curviest person especially compared to those models but I’m definitely heavier than I had been before.” Engaging in a space dedicated to body positivity, where she was celebrated for her beauty meant alot to her after being criticized for gaining weight.

Cassie Randolph is getting real about her relationship with Colton Underwood and she would like everyone to know — they’re fine! Last night, the reality star shared a sweet photo along with a novel-lengthed post to Instagram where she opened up about the “scrutiny” she and Colton have faced since their time on the ABC dating show. She also took the chance to slam circulating breakup reports, which she apparently stumbled upon somewhere. Frustrated Cassie cleared the air by letting the world know that she and Colton are “good and happy,” but acknowledged that life after The Bachelor hasn’t been a walk in the park. …Though one would certainly think so from the looks of their adorable Instagram posts. I guess life isn’t always as good as it looks. “Is our relationship perfect?” Cassie’s post began, “No, it is very normal with its ups and downs and compromises.” “Despite the microscope on our relationship, we are trying to stay focused on what is important and grow in the direction of getting stronger and closer everyday.” “We know that in order for us to work, we need to focus on each other and not the craziness that sometimes surrounds us, and stay grounded,” she wrote. Adding, “We are good!” Randolph also opened up about her current struggle of trying to find the balance between her newfound stardom, grad school, and her personal life, “At times the stress has made me question what the heck I am doing and those close to me have also questioned me as they see me burning the candle at both ends and at times more stressed than I should be,” she explained. “Some of the changes haven’t just affected my life, but those close to me too.” But luckily for Cass, it sounds like Colton is patiently supporting her — even if that means there will not be an engagement in their near future . “To be even more transparent,” she continued, “being in such a public relationship comes with its own set of added issues to manage. Our every move together is analyzed and every word is dissected.” “At times it can feel like our relationship status isn’t just a matter of our own happiness, but other people’s happiness too,” she explained. Unlike most love stories that come out of the Bachelor franchise, Colton and Cassie decided to date instead of rush into a proposal. A totally smart and practical move! But Cassie, who can’t help but feel like the entire world is waiting for him to put a ring on it, says they’re still figuring out what their future together might look like. “Not only have we developed a deepening love for one another, but an amazing friendship bond has grown from this too,” she reassured her fans. “Bottom line, even though our relationship was born out of crazy and unnatural circumstances, our goal is to develop a healthy, NORMAL relationship as much as possible.” And as for their future, well she says it’s TBD. “We’ve found that when we put too much focus on the future, we miss out on the present and enjoying the moment,” she explained. “We both are learning so much in this and more than anything, we are both right where we want to be…happy…thankful….learning….growing!” Got it! Thank you for that extremely informative update, Cassie! View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season Finale, Part 1: What Did Colton Do?!?
Apparently, Tristan Thompson just cannot take a hint, and leaving thirsty comments on Khloe’s photos is just the tip of the iceberg. Khloe is so done with him after he cheated on her with, it seems, every hot woman in sight even after his first cheating scandal. A new report says that Tristan is working behind the scenes to worm his way back into Khloe’s heart — and her bed. In Touch Weekly reports that Khloe Kardashian isn’t out of the woods when it comes to not being in a relationship with a rampant cheater. “Tristan hasn’t given up on Khloe,” an insider warns about the reality star’s athletic baby daddy. “And,” the source adds, Tristan “s always playing mind games with her.” Oh, dear. That’s not good — because if his games work, Khloe could end up accepting him back before she even realizes it. Some cheaters are aggressive manipulators and know just which buttons to push. “She is too easy on him,” the insider opines. Certainly, that was the case in 2018 when she took him back within days of the scandal breaking. “And,” the source laments, Khloe believes that she “can’t be cold to him.” Khloe is under this impression “because she always wants to keep a happy home for True.” “That’s why she can never completely cut him off,” the insider explains. Tristan may be barkign up Khloe’s tree, but her entire family is united in wanting to shoo him away. “Tristan knows that the family doesn’t want them back together,” the source reveals. “So,” the insider explains. “He is trying to weasel his way back.” Oh, of course he is. See, Tristan knows that if he gets Khloe to accept him again, she’ll make her family do the same. That’s what went down in 2018. Khloe revealed that he’s been pulling this kind of thing for a while. On Keeping Up With The Kardashians , she shared an incident in which Tristan tried to act as if they were still dating. “He’s like, ‘Do you want to grab a glass of wine?’” Khloe recalled. “I’m like, ‘It must say dumb f–king whore on my forehead,’” Wow, I can’t believe that Khloe and I have the same tattoo! “And then he’s like, ‘Can I have a hug?’” she adds. “So, I one-arm hugged him, but that’s not enough.” Well, it will simply have to be. “He tried to kiss me,” Khloe revealed. “I’m like, ‘That’s the problem with you. You can’t just take what you get.’” she expressed. Apparently, he still didn’t get the message, as he texted her the next morning. “‘Thank you for letting me see True. She looked great, and you looked even better,’” Khloe quoted the text. That first sentence would have sufficed. Don’t turn talk about your daughter into being horny for your baby mama. The thing about people like Tristan — famous, wealthy, hot men — is that their behavior doesn’t make sense. He has to decide: does he want a fellow celebrity to be his wife and the mother of his child? Or does he want a harem, or to be allowed to roam free and bang whomever he chooses, possibly with a wife at home who doesn’t mind? Because plenty of women woudl be fine with a simple majority share of Tristan’s dong instead of sole ownership. But Khloe isn’t one of them. If Tristan is unhappy, it’s entirely his own doing.
