Source: Earl Gibson/BET / Getty via MadameNoire.com : Last year, folks had to call Luvvie to the table after she tried to make a joke at the expense of Tevin Campbell . For those who don’t remember, after the passing of Aretha Franklin , Black folks on social media were trying to decide who should tribute the legendary Queen of Soul at her funeral and other honorary occasions.

Under what rock did they pull that name from? — Awesomely Luvvie (@Luvvie) August 16, 2018 And baybee,  Black folks were not here for Luvvie, a Nigerian immigrant who caters and speaks to a predominately Black American audience, coming for one of our African American musical greats. The discussion caused Tevin Campbell to trend with people expressing their support for him. (Not to mention, the discussion unearthed some other tweets that seemed to suggest a lack of respect for Black American culture). One of most influential voices in support of Campbell just happened to be New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay and director, producer Ava DuVernay. Gay wrote: Smh. If you don’t know Tevin Campbell has the range… — roxane gay (@rgay) August 17, 2018 And in response, DuVernay not only expressed her support for Campbell online, she vowed to put some money in his pocket. Rebuking any Tevin Campbell slander from millennials and plotting to write him into an episode of Queen Sugar SOMEHOW. On general principle. pic.twitter.com/mcNCGBnvDv — Ava DuVernay (@ava) August 17, 2018 Now y’all know, some people talk about it and others be about it. DuVernay kept her promise. “Queen Sugar” and Campbell shared a video of himself on set. “ @Ava is a doer, she kept her word.” Welcome to #QueenSugar , Tevin Campbell— stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/jKKUcBreyO — Queen Sugar (@QueenSugarOWN) March 19, 2019 “Hey Errrbody. Hello y’all. I don’t know what y’all doing but I know what I’m doing and where I’m at. I’m on the set of “Queen Sugar” baby! And I done had a talk with everybody, all the characters. We’re not going to get into that. This is so exciting for me and I want to thank DuVernay, Ava DuVernay. She’s a doer. She kept her word. I want to thank the cast and the crew for making me feel at home, like I been here for years. Oh my God, y’all don’t even understand how excited I am. So, that’s all I’m going to give away as of now but stayed tuned to season 4 baby.” We’re excited to see what role he’ll play. Season 4 of OWN’s  Queen Sugar will premiere on June 12.

Spookily Sexy Lupita Nyong’o & Winston Duke Attend ‘US’ Movie Premiere—Haunting Horror Film Predicted To Make $45 Million

Source: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images / Getty Cast Of “US” Attend NYC Movie Premiere The cast of “US” recently turned heads at the premiere for their terrific thriller. Lupita Nyong’o shone on the red carpet at New York’s famed Museum of Modern Art for the occasion in a Balmain dress and stylishly studded trench coat. Source: Johns PKI / SplashNews.com / Splash News Also on hand was the film’s cringy “cool dad” Winston Duke who looked dapper and of course, the mastermind behind it all Jordan Peele. Source: Johns PKI / SplashNews.com / Splash News The entire cast was also on hand including child stars Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex whose scene-stealing will surely be the topic of discussion after the film’s widespread release tomorrow. Source: Johns PKI / SplashNews.com / Splash News If the cast looks especially happy it’s for good reason; Deadline reports that it’s on track to make $45M. Not only that, they add that some believe it could hit $50M knocking Captain Marvel’s first week numbers out the water. It certainly sounds plausible. Peele’s “Get Out” brought in $33m opening weekend and there’s a TON of buzz behind this (terrifically) terrifying doppelganger drama.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Teaser: Is Faith Hill Pregnant?!?

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

According to a dramatic rumor making the rounds, Stevie J may have a reason to be both very excited and very afraid in the near future. First, the excitement: Faith Hill may be pregnant with the reality star's next baby! We'll explain why many social users believe this to be the case down below, but first we'll explain why this may be reason for the VH1 personality to actually be scared. And that reason is this: Dude has fallen seriously far behind on previous child support payments; we learned last summer that he owes $1.3 million to his baby mamas ! Stevie J managed to avoid a jail sentence, and he is married to Hill , so he wouldn't exactly owe her money for the alleged bun in her oven — but still. Can he really afford another child? (Stevie already has six, by five different women.) As for why folks think this is a possiblity? Well… VH1 released the super trailer for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta Season 8 last week. (Check it out on this page!) According to the not-always-reliable editors at Media Takeout, Stevie and Hill recently told producers that they are ready for “their own reality show — unaffiliated with Love & Hip Hop” and that one of their ideas for the spinoff is “Faith’s pregnancy.” Back in February, the couple Hill said the following on Grammys night: “We’re working on finishing up our EP, doing a few TV projects, producing a few TV projects… and if [Stevie] had his way working on an addition to our family.” So there you have it. Not exactly a confirmation she's expecting, we know. For the record, Hill has four children herself. Viewers can look forward to plenty of insight into Stevie and Faith's romance on Season 8, which kicks off on March 25. Spice, meanwhile, will be annoyed by the industry's double standards about skin color and actually bleach hers white to prove a point. Rasheeda will be very busy with Kannon, while also encouraging Kirk to be a better dad. Bambi and Scrappy will be focusing on their baby, Breland, but all will not be rainbows and unicorns between Momma Dee and Bambi's mother. Scrapp DeLeon will also return and we'll learn whether Scrapp and Moniece Slaughter are for real. Check out the extended preview now!

LeBron Who? Stephen Curry Hits Longest 3-Pointer Of The Season [Video]

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Go here to read the rest:

Source: Ronald Cortes / Getty Steph Curry is on a rare wave this year. He just drained the farthest 3-pointer of the season without breaking a sweat. As spotted on  Bleacher Report, the sharp-shooting guard proved once again why he earns top billing with the Golden State Warriors. Time was ticking down at the close of the first quarter of their away game versus the San Antonio Spurs. While on the opposite side of the court the baby-faced assassin took a running jumper from 61 feet away and nailed it with help from the backboard. The shot put the crowd on ice, to say the least. While Dub Nation took the loss that night, Curry’s buzzer beater could not be ignored. ESPN has confirmed that it is the longest three-point shot made during the 2018-2019 season. He discussed the memorable moment during his post-game interview. “I might be delusional, but every time I shoot it, I feel like it’s going in. You kind of know right away whether it has a chance or not. Some of them are in and out, it’s close, whatever,” Curry explained. “That one felt great, I was running after [it]. A cool way to end the quarter, I just wish we had gotten the win, too.” The Warriors are currently tied with the Denver Nuggets for the top seed in the Western Conference. You can view the clip below. — Photo: Getty

31 Days, 31 Inspiring Women: Ava Duvernay

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Xilla Valentine / GlobalGrind March is Women’s History Month and we’re celebrating 31 different women over the month, spanning the worlds of entertainment, politics, local, global and beyond. Entry number 14 on our list is one of the women in Hollywood showcasing our stories, whether it be in the form of documentaries, feature films and more. Always looking to shine a light on the marginalized among us, this particular woman was the first black female director nominated for the Academy Award of Best Documentary Feature in 2017 and has made strides not only amplifying the voices of female directors but black men and children as well. She is Ava DuVernay, the visionary and one of our 31 inspiring women.  Ava DuVernay ‘s story is one that there is no exact age you have to reach in order to find your passion or make it. Years after graduating from UCLA, the Compton born DuVernay tried her hand at filmmaking in 2007. Crafting a 12-minute short titled  Saturday Night Life , it was in dedication to her mother as she spotlighted a single mother with three children taking her children to the grocery store. Who knew that some seven years later, her first major feature film would be nominated for Best Picture at the 87th Academy Awards? DuVernay became the first Black woman to helm a film with a budget of $100 million with 2018’s  A Wrinkle In Time , a year after she was nominated for Best Documentary Film when she created  13th , a film centered around how the 13th amendment may not have fully led to the abolishment of slavery but rather established the prison industrial complex and focused it mainly on black and brown bodies. It’s not just the big screen when it comes to DuVernay making changes across the board. When she was announced as the show runner for OWN’s  Queen Sugar , she decided to have all women direct each and every episode of the show. Much like everything she’s touched, it’s been critically acclaimed and then some. Not bad for a woman who didn’t pick up a camera to film and shape the world in her eyes until she was 33. FUN FACT:  For all of her work, DuVernay is the first for a number of awards. She’s the first Black woman to win the award for Best Director at Sundance, the first black director to be nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globes and the first Black woman to have her film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. QUOTE:  “Creativity is an energy. It’s a precious energy, and it’s something to be protected. A lot of people take for granted that they’re a creative person, but I know from experience, feeling it in myself, it is a magic; it is an energy. And it can’t be taken for granted.” The world is a better place thanks to women like Ava Duvernay and if you want your world to be better and be free from painful fibroids, head to AlateHealth .

Respect The OG: J. Prince Got YBN Almighty Jay’s Chain Back [PHOTO]

Posted on March 20, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Leon Provost / Leon Provost Remember what  J. Prince told  Kiotti , “Don’t let Instagram become your OG.” True enough, after video surfaced of some New York thugs hospitalizing and robbing  YBN Almighty Jay , the Rap-A-Lot CEO put out a calm warning to anybody who was involved in the attack on Jay. Not even a week after the message, J. Prince was good on his word and got YBN Almighty Jay’s chain back in proper possession. J. Prince confirmed the news via Instagram on Tuesday, but didn’t provide details on how he retrieved the stolen piece. “Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares,” Prince captioned a photo featuring French Montana . “The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr. Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood, sweat, and tears […] To @ybnalmightyjay I’ll be returning your jewelry soon Lil homie.” View this post on Instagram Real recognizes real in every hood and has a way of connecting in spite of clowns and squares. – – The homies from the Bronx, KT, @hocus45th and @frenchmontana kept it real with me and my son @jprincejr – – Tho it was never about the chain, it was about the name that was built off of blood sweat and tears. – – I welcome these brothers to our #MobTies movement and look forward to us doing business in the future together. – – There’s power in numbers and when strong brothers from the streets align themselves with one another, suckas tremble. So I can only imagine how some of you are feeling right now! – – I’ve invited these homies to #htown for @jprincejr birthday celebration March 28-31, 2019 and I look forward to coming to the Bronx soon. – – The big picture here is the same as I stated in my first post, to not allow moment thinkers to muddy the waters over the movement. – – To @ybnalmightyjay I’ll be returning your jewelry soon Lil homie. – – To be continued… #TheArtAndScienceOfRespect A post shared by J Prince (@jprincerespect) on Mar 19, 2019 at 10:16am PDT Almighty Jay was hospitalized earlier this month following an attack by a group of men outside a building in Manhattan. The assailants took off with Almighty Jay’s money, the chain and left him requiring a number of stitches to his face. The chain made an appearance in a  Zae Numbafive music video, though Zae says he had nothing to do with the assault. J. Prince specifically called out Zae in a follow-up IG post, referring to the rapper as a “clown”. “They Recently Bragged About Robbing The Artist YBN Almighty Jay Whom I’m Invested In,” he wrote in the post last week. “They’ve Robbed Him Of His Money And Jewelry Including A Rap-A-Lot Piece. So Therefore They Have Robbed A Piece Of Me.” Unrelated to YBN Almighty Jay’s assault, Zae and three of his associates were arrested last week on federal charges, including attempted murder in the aid of racketeering. The men were allegedly involved in the shooting of an off-duty NYPD officer last October. RELATED:  J Prince: “Don’t Let IG Become Your OG” [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW] RELATED:  J.

She was early to YOUTUBE thanks to a soul selling selfish parent….who had an agenda of her own… Like the ANTI-VAXXER parents, who are all vaccinated, but have decided thanks to PINTEREST or FACEBOOK posts that vaccinating their kids is bad…so that the poor kids end up with the Plague or Polio…to prove the parents are fucking morons… Only the celebrity, stage parent, child star version… Use Youtube, google tactics to grow youtube, tag it to target perverts, grow audience, followers, subscribers….become an online marketer who realizes tits get hit…use your daughter as the vessel to get your dreams to come true. Use her tits get more views. She’s not 12 and singing cover songs anymore, she’s a legit act now, cuz youtube paved the way and gave her value to get the labels to invest into her…..but using her tits…that shit is forever…it’s the gift that keeps giving…the marketing dream they didn’t have to pay for in the form of implants…all natural motherfuckers….

Kardashian Jenner Nudity of the Day

Posted on March 19, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I think we can all agree that the Kardashian Jenner – digital marketing experts – who were early to embrace social media to make their careers and earning far more lucrative and relevant – even if they were slow to the internet in the first place – that Kim tape came out way after Paris’….but the timing was right…just as internet was booming and you could really position yourself to win. I think we can all agree that they are the real domestic terrorists, fucking up the faces of a generation of under 30 year olds, while getting rich…. They are giving terrible visuals, leading by a terrible example, and inspiring terrible fucking people….to be terrible…all while getting rich which is all they care about…further proving how terrible they are…and how bad for society they are. So if you’re going to make a statement against America, or if you’re a crazy person out there planning something to get media hype…like something terrible….that we’ve seen on the news so many times before…focus your energy and firepower to where it matters…and target the worst humans responsible for destroying the moral footprint of America…one selfie at a time…. The Jenner / Kardashians… Seriously…Garbage. Heres there rest of them being slutty for the gram JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!
