We’re going to Jersey Shore, bitch! Just kidding, we’re not — except we kind of are, because the legendary cast of Jersey Shore is returning back to where all that magic happened, and we get to see it right on our television screens. Or, OK, they’re not exactly going back to where all the magic happened. Instead of returning to the house that was actually on the Jersey shore, they’ll be in Miami again. But still, in a way, we might as well be right there with all of our favorite guidos and guidettes, acting like the hottest messes that ever walked the boardwalk. And how beautiful is that? Back in November, we first learned that MTV was bringing back one of the greatest reality shows of all time , and ever since then, we’ve been anxiously awaiting its return. Thanks to this new teaser, which finally reveals the premiere date, we now know we don’t have to wait too much longer! Check out the preview, then we’ll talk: Jersey Shore: See the Brand New Teaser! OK, so April 5th — mark your calendars, and be sure to get your GTL in beforehand, because you aren’t going to want to miss this. Just in that quick little video, we see Snooki going to town on a pickle — just like old times! — and Pauly D and Vinny rekindling their epic bromance. Next, there’s Snooki humping JWoww, then Ronnie sitting on Vinny’s lap, looking absolutely trashed. Finally we see a shot of the whole gang together before the teaser cuts to a shot of Deena and Snooki standing on the water, where Deena shouts to all who can hear her, “We’re your new neighb Can you imagine? Next is a teaser with a little more meat to it — and oh, what exciting meat it is: Jersey Shore: Angelina’s Back! That’s right! Angelina Pivarnick, AKA the Staten Island Dump , is back! She knocks on the door and waits patiently until The Situation answers it, then greets him not with a hug or even a handshake, but with “You think I’m a dirty little hamster?!” Iconic. “Oh sh-t …” The Situation says, and it really does look like he had no idea she was going to be there at all. He even asks her “Who sent you?” She seems friendly enough, at least in this short little clip. And it’s worth noting that she actually has suitcases this time around instead of trash bags. But we can’t imagine that a house with Angelina in it will stay drama-free for long . Since today is obviously a very blessed day, we have one more precious sneak peek to enjoy: Jersey Shore: Time for Some Ron Ron Juice! Remember Ron Ron Juice?! Of course you do — how could you possibly forget? But just in case you did, Ron Ron Juice is a special little drink invented by Ronnie, and as he explains it, it’s “the sh-t that gets the night going.” “Whenever that sh-t comes out, it’s always a filthy night.” Basically he just cuts up some watermelon slices and some cherries and then throws that stuff in a blender with cranberry juice, vodka, and ice. Pauly D calls it “the root of all evil,” but honestly it does sound pretty delicious. While the guys are sipping on their juice, The Situation takes a moment to explain some of his life philosophies. “I wait till the last minute to shave,” he explains, “I wait till the last minute to put the shirt on, ’cause then you feel fresh. These are rules to live by.” “Shave last minute, haircut the day of, maybe the tanning and the gym. You gotta do the guido handbook.” If you’ve ever watched a single episode of Jersey Shore then you know all this, but still, it’s comforting to hear all this laid out fresh, isn’t it? Just a little over seven weeks until the season premiere! View Slideshow: 13 Craziest Reality TV Moments EVER
NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 09: Shaniah Mauldin attends the Fashion Hong Kong front row during New York Fashion Week: The Shows at Industria Studios on February 9, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew Toth/Getty Images for Fashion Hong Kong ) Shaniah Cymone Talks Fashion, Modeling & Growing Up Hip-Hop She’s famous for being the scion of Atlanta hip-hop royalty, but Shaniah Cymone is stepping out of her father Jermaine Dupri’s shadow and into the spotlight – literally. The pretty teen made her New York Fashion Week debut on Thursday, modeling designs in the Gregorio Sanchez/Bahmardi show and the Rome & Juliet Couture/David Topaz/Andre Emery show. She also sat made the front row at a few fashion presentations. “I’m walking in two shows,” Shaniah, 19, told us.”It’s my first time attending New York Fashion Week. “So, I’m super excited!” We sat down with the “Growing Up Hip-Hop” starlet, model and biochemistry student to talk about her foray into fashion – and what her dad thinks of her new money moves: BOSSIP: Why did you decide to go into modeling? Shaniah: “Actually, I used to model when I was younger…And now I’m actually on my way to starting a children’s clothing line, and my dad wants me to get more involved with the fashion industry as a whole, so I could have more ties and connections in the industry. That’s what made me want to start modeling again.” BOSSIP: What does your father think about your modeling career? Shaniah: “As far as my modeling career goes, my dad’s not a vocal person, let me put it that way. So, I don’t really know, but I know my dad, he wants me to use every platform that I have to be successful. He’s definitely that type of person, and wants me to utilize my opportunities. So, this is one that arose, and he want’s me to tackle it.”

Cunningham Kenya Moore Gives Relationship Advice At The “Women Doing It Big” Conference In NYC “Real Housewives of Atlanta’s” Kenya Moore has opened up about her newlywed life with her husband, Marc – but not without blasting her personal trainer ex, Matt Jordan. Moore surprised fans late last year when she announced she’d eloped with Marc, a former pro-ball player and investment banker. And on Saturday at the annual “Women Doing It Big” conference, she told the several hundred women there that she was still getting the hang of married life. “Listen, I am a newlywed, and it’s new for me,” Moore said on a celebrity panel with actresses Elise Neal and Antonique Smith. “So I’m not the expert here. I’m figuring it out as I go. It’s more difficult for me because I split my time between Atlanta and New York. My husband and I, we do go back and forth. So, one week we’re in New York, one week we’re in Atlanta – one week we’re in Egypt.” Photo by Jennifer H. Cunningham However, Moore said having a husband who supportive of her and her career goals made the transition easier, even though she admits she’s an “alpha female.” “I learn so much from just listening and having him analyze different things for me,” she said. “So that is still difficult because I’m an alpha female. And being able to listen, and understand he does know more than me in this area. I just think it’s learning and experiencing things as they come and be open to it.” Moore encouraged the attendees not to give up on love, saying she got married at 46, and to never settle – but not without shading her ex, Matt Jordan, who was heavily featured on RHOA. “If he’s breaking your windows let him go,” she said. “Because around that corner, there’s a man that’s for you. You don’t have to settle for crazies and psychos and the kind of people who’ll drag you down and making you look crazy because your with crazy.”

LHHNY’s Jonathan Fernandez Celebrity Makeup Artists Talks Relationships, Makeup & Going From Behind The Camera To The Front “Love & Hip Hop: New York’s” newest cast member said he can understand why some fans were perplexed when he came onto the show. But after working behind the scenes on the LHH franchises for years and developing close friendships with fellow show stars Yandy Smith, Emily B and Anais, image consultant Jonathan Fernandez said it was a natural move for him to go from behind to the front of the camera. “I’m friends with Yandy, I’m friends with Juju, I’m friends with Anais, I’m friends with Mariah,” Fernandez said. “There’s so many of the girls on the show (who I’m close to). It was a natural progression. It’s not like I just came up out of nowhere.” The celebrity makeup artist – who is one half of the first gay couple to be featured on “Love & Hip Hop: New York” – sat down with BOSSIP to talk about his time on the show, his relationship with hip-hop artist Trent and that time he did First Lady Melania Trump’s hair. BOSSIP: What’s it like being on “Love & Hip Hop?” JF: “I’m living my life. It’s funny to watch myself, because I never realized how dramatic I am, how over the top. Just this past week I saw a scene with Anais and I, and my eyes literally like they were going to pop out of my head and land on the table!” BOSSIP: Tell us about your storyline this season. JF: “Anytime you go on television with a partner of yours, you wanna be that couple that gives hope to so many gay relationships…We’re gonna stick together, we’re gonna be brothers. A partnership. But gay relationships are just like straight relationships. We go through our s**t, there’s infidelity. All the problems that plague the straight couples plague us as well. But you have to remember, it’s two men. It’s twice the testosterone…You don’t wanna get played on national TV, so you react. ” BOSSIP: We heard that you used to do First Lady Melania Trump’s hair. What was that like? JF: “I was a colorist in the salon in the Trump Tower. I actually ended up working with Trump and Melania. I did Melania’s hair a couple of times, and she’s a sweetheart. She’s such a tender spirit. She’s very calming and maternal. Very caring. She’s the type who’ll walk into a room and remember everybody’s name. Ask you about your family. At the time, my sister was pregnant so she would ask me, ‘how’s your sister, how’s your family?’ She’s a great person.”
Source: ABC Photos Archives / Getty We are in the full age of extreme nostalgia, where practically all things from the 90s (and even the late 80s) are just as beloved and popular as they once were during their initial heyday. Whether you long for the fashion, the music, the movies or just the overall vibe, it’s no doubt that in these current troubling times overdosing on nostalgia is the ultimate great escape. There is one nostalgic medium that has picked up steam in the last few years—and that’s television. Many classic shows from a bygone era have not only been rebooted, but also have become hits for a new generation. From Fuller House and The X-Files to this fall’s Will & Grace and the upcoming Roseanne , reboots of classic shows are the hottest ticket in town. This got us thinking about our favorite classic shows that would be perfect to reboot in this unsettling era we live in. Now before we get into it, two of the most popular black TV shows of all-time are not on this list, so for obvious and unfortunate reasons The Cosby Show and Martin are not included. This list is still lit though, so check out which classic shows we think need to come back and remind us of the good ‘ol days! Sister, Sister – According to recent reports, the deal is almost done to bring this show back—and we couldn’t be more excited! The great thing about a Sister, Sister reboot is that the show didn’t revolve around a strict premise that would need to be heavily adjusted due to time passing. In short, it can pick up in present day and be just fine. Tia Mowry has previously stated that all cast members from the show are all on board, which makes things even better. The beloved twins are both married with children in real life, but the reboot could explore either both of them single, married or a combination of both. There’s also the welcomed presence of the pair’s parents—is Lisa still married to her husband or did she start dating Ray again? Tia and Tamera have such a positive, infectious energy that is definitely needed these days…so hurry up with the reboot! Living Single – There have been rumblings over the last year or so that the groundbreaking 90s FOX sitcom Living Single could be playing the reboot game. Queen Latifah has gone on the record as saying that she is not very interested, but that she’s working on it and hopes that everything falls properly in place. Living Single could absolutely still work in today’s television landscape because during the end of series’ original run left the ladies at critical points in their romantic and professional lives. They were young twentysomethings then and a lot could have happened between then and now, such as who’s still single and who’s not? Besides, the natural chemistry between the cast was always what made it so funny and relatable, and as long as you have that a reboot would be very successful. A Different World – Talks have been going on about rebooting this series for so long that it almost feels like it won’t ever happen—despite members of the cast and crew being totally willing to do it. The themes that A Different World covered back in the day are still very relevant in this current era and showcasing the college experience of an HBCU would be great to explore once again. There are a few ways to go with a reboot, the obvious would be to feature the children of the show’s main cast members (Whitley, Dwayne, Ron, Freddie, Kim, Jaleesa) as they attend Hillman. Another way could be to have the original cast have current ties to the university, ala working on staff, volunteering, mentoring, etc. In the years since the idea of a reboot has been brought up, BET has added The Quad to its line-up, which is supposed to be like a new A Different World , but it only proves that there’s nothing like the real thing. Moesha – Earlier this month the entire cast of the classic Brandy Norwood-led sitcom Moesha reunited on the daytime talk show The Real and it got fans excited to see a possible reboot. When the cast was asked collectively if they would be down for a reboot, there was an enthusiastic “YES!” from them all. If you think about it, a reboot is only fair considering the sloppy way the show was cancelled, leaving several cliffhangers that were never resolved. Although it would be sad that Lamont Bentley (Hakeem,) Bernie Mac (Uncle Bernie) and Yvette Wilson (Andell) won’t be a part of it due to their unfortunate deaths, an updated Moesha could still come out and give us that 90s vibe all over again. Girlfriends – She may be living it up now in her Golden Globe-winning role as Dr. Rainbow Johnson on ABC’s Blackish , but to many fans Tracee Ellis Ross will always be our beloved Joan Clayton from the classic sitcom Girlfriends . In its final season, the core four had been reduced to three when cast member Jill Marie Jones (Toni Childs) left the series. As a result, fans didn’t like the final season as much and have demanded that the series tie up loose ends in the form of a movie, reunion or a full-blown reboot. As recent as 2016, Tracee Ellis Ross said that she would completely be ready for a reboot and that the rest of the cast would as well. However, show creator Mara Brock Akil has said in the past the issue lies behind the scenes within the business aspect of the show, specifically CBS Studios. Hopefully things can get worked out because we desperately need our beloved Girlfriends to return. Family Matters – Now you may think that a reboot of Family Matters may be a bit hard to pull off given that Steve Urkel is in his 40s and it’s probably difficult to attempt the Urkel voice these days, but there a perfect way around it. Jaleel White can reprise his role as Steve Urkel, but this time it’s he and wife Laura’s son who is the lovable nerd. After the cast recently participated in a reunion photoshoot for Entertainment Weekly , fans have been going crazy with the thought of the Winslow’s coming back for another round. Fans questions were running so rampant that rumors of a reboot already in the works started to swirl, which led Jaleel White to confirm that currently there are no plans for it…but you never know what could happen. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – There is one way and one way only that this reboot would work…get Will Smith’s son Jaden to star in the series and reprise his father’s role in an updated capacity. Not only is the resemblance between the two uncanny, Jaden is a natural actor in his own right and it would be cool to see a reboot done with someone who has real-life ties to the original star. Maybe Will, Jada and Willow could do some guests appearances on the potential reboot, along with original cast members? Unfortunately, the odds of a reboot happening are slim to none, as co-star Alfonso Ribeiro shut down all hopes earlier this year in an interview. Also, there’s the fact that one of the centerpieces of the show is gone in James Avery’s beloved Uncle Phil character, the actor passed in 2013. Soul Food – When you sit back and think of the fact that there are only a handful of black family dramas on TV, you realize just how important and essential the Showtime hit series Soul Food was to the television landscape. Based on the hit 1997 film of the same name, Soul Food was one of the few film-to-TV adaptations that was just as good as its source material. The always relevant themes of family, love, career and life’s obstacles mean that Soul Food could pick up right where it left off and feel just a timely today. In an unexpected twist, a sequel to the film is reportedly in the works, but there is no word on if the TV adaptation would ever come back. Perhaps if the film’s sequel does well it could drum up interest in a TV reboot? Fingers crossed! The Chappelle Show – File this one under “no chance in hell of it ever happening”—but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream about what could be. Given that Dave Chappelle abruptly quit his iconic show and left a whopping $50 million on the table, there is absolutely no chance that he would consider returning his show to TV audiences, despite how bad we need it right now. Can you imagine the satirical comedic skits that Chappelle could come up with revolving around the Trump administration? It would be comedy gold! Nevertheless, it won’t happen, but just be glad that Chappelle has returned from his self-imposed exile and is performing stand-up again around the country and on Netflix. The Wire – This is another show that will likely never see a reboot, but it definitely should. See, like many iconic things, the general public didn’t appreciate The Wire like it should have until it was gone. It was repeatedly snubbed at awards shows and ratings were always on the lower side, but it became a cult classic and now viewers realize just how absolutely amazing the show really was. Since it has become more popular now than it ever was during its original run, many fans think a reboot is a no-brainer. However, the show’s creator is adamant that it was special and specific in its time-frame and succeeded at telling a certain story. Still, with all of the police corruption going on around the country, especially Baltimore where the original show was based, The Wire would be required viewing in today’s current climate.

Source: TORU YAMANAKA / Getty Back in July, a trailer for Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! was released, which is the twentieth film in the Pokémon series. The film is said to be a retelling of the Indigo League saga that stems from the television show, marking the 20th anniversary of the series, but there’s a big change that has audiences in the theater completely freaking out. For everyone who follows the series (or watched it as a child), it’s known that–for the most part–the Pokémon species don’t speak English, or any real language beside just saying their name over and over. That changes in this new film, in a *spoiler alert* scene when Ash is dying, Pikachu speaks a full sentence of English out of nowhere, and people cannot contain their shock and disappointment. Hi, I am just learning that Pikachu speaks English in the new Pokemon movie and, yes, it is extremely fucking weird pic.twitter.com/k5hm5lyW7Y — Ryan Broderick (@broderick) November 13, 2017 According to those who saw the film, right after this little surprise, Pikachu goes right on back to not speaking English, and it’s never mentioned or referenced again. Weird, right? For everyone who spent their childhood knowing that Pikachu could only communicate by repeating, “Pika pika,” this footage was truly weird, and nobody seems to be a fan. Check out the disappointed reactions from some long time fans below. Why did I just see a video of Pikachu speaking regular ass English in the new movie? My childhood hurts. — Suavecito.
