Beyoncé and Donald Glover –also known as Childish Gambino — aren’t the only A list stars in this movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor will voice Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and Alfre Woodard Sarabi. James Earl Jones makes a return as the voice of Simba, fittingly so. Elton John, Beyoncé, and Tim Rice will team up to create a song for the end credits of the film. The movie will be scored, or composed, by Hans Zimmer, he scored the original movie in 1994 but was hesitant to do the remake citing, “I have worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement.” Ultimately, he decided to do the remake because he felt as though it was his place to try a big experiment, and create a performance. The remake of The Lion King is set to premiere on July 19.

Another Black Designer Finds A Carbon Copy Of Her Work For Sale Online

Read more from the original source:

Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer When white designers replicate one another, intentionally or otherwise, they are called derivative, and uninspired. When they copy Black designers , they are rewarded for their efforts with the cloak of invisibility that shrouds Black women. This week Instagram learned of yet another Black fashion designer being forced to watch their creativity line the pockets of others. Fe Noel , who has been using her Caribbean heritage to create, elegant staples and lush statement pieces for years, posted side by side images of pants she designed for a previous collection with those presented by designer Ulla Johnson. Beneath the image she anticipated the fury of her followers writing, “I’ll let you be the judge.” Social media did not disappoint quickly pointing out that the similarities between the items appeared to be more than coincidental. That didn’t stop Net-A-Porter from charging $395 for them. This happens all the time and when everyone is forwarding the offending image or video to their timelines, they are rarely discussing how it occurs over and over. Source: Mireya Acierto / Mireya Acierto / Stringer These incidents take place because while mainstream retailers love to scope out the trends set by Black artists and consumers they don’t pay as close attention to the people behind them. The question of whether or not Ulla Johnson had seen Noel’s design prior to creating her pant is just one part of the equation. Whether or not any one at Net-A-Porter has ever bothered to look any the beautiful lookbooks presented by Noel season after season is another. In order for Black designers, Black editors, Black writers, Black stylists, and Black writers to flourish people have to quit stalling their research at their immediate circles. This is not someone who is obscure or unknown. She is a design powerhouse who is gaining hard won steam every season and she deserves to be seen and respected. Source: laven Vlasic/Getty Images / (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images) It’s not hard to imagine that the buyer would have noticed if Johnson presented an option that was reminiscent of one of the many identical blonde Brooklynites lining the walls of Bloomingdales. They should be just as familiar with Black designers who are making strides. Noel has been featured in Vogue multiple times. She was one of three designers who teamed up with Lebron James and Harlem’s Fashion Row for a historic Nike collaboration. Her aesthetics is consistent and easily recognizable to anyone interested in paying attention. The work of the Fe Noels of the world should be celebrated beyond the black community because they’re stylish, they’re important, and more often than not they were probably here first. Editors Note: HelloBeautiful reached out to both Fe Noel and representatives for Ulla Johnson regarding the similarities in the designs. Neither party responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. DON’T MISS: Will Rihanna’s Deal With LVMH Be The Key To More Black Women In Fashion?

Lisa Vanderpump to Skip Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright’s Wedding

Earlier today, we reported on the sad news that Lisa Vanderpump’s mother has passed away at the age of 84. The death of Jean Vanderpump comes just one year after Lisa’s brother, Mark Vanderpump, committed suicide . The news also closely follows closely on the heels of reports that Lisa has quit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in response to a falling out with her fellow cast members. With all of this going on, it’s not surprising that Lisa will be stepping away from the spotlight in order to return to England and be with her family. Unfortunately, that means she’ll miss a major social event that’s sure to factor prominently in both the lives of her close friends and the eighth season of her eponymous reality show. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are set to get married next weekend, and Radar Online is now reporting that Lisa will not be in attendance. “Lisa will not be able to go to the wedding,” says one insider . While Jax and Brittany are said to be disappointed by the news, they have reportedly expressed their support for her decision. The source claims that Taylor and Cartwright have not yet spoken to Lisa in person, but have contacted her via text message. “They have reached out to send their condolences, and accept she needs to step away from filming the show right now so she can attend to her family,” says the insider. Lisa was also scheduled to be a guest of honor at World Pride events in New York on June 30. Sadly, she will be forced to miss those events, as well. “Lisa loves and supports the LGBTQ community, but knows that they will understand,” says the tipster. The insider goes on to say that Lisa is at the lowest point of her life after losing two immediate family members in such rapid succession. “She’s absolutely devastated at losing her mother when she is still grieving over the loss of her brother,” says the source. Stars and colleagues alike have offered their condolences to the reality star and restaurateur, but we’re sure words are of little comfort at this time. All the same, our thoughts are with Lisa during this tremendously difficult time. We hope she takes all the help she needs and finds support wherever she can.

Abbie Burnett Pregnancy: Spoiled by Jessa Duggar?!?

Congratulations may be in order for another member of the Duggar Family. And condemnation may be in store for one of her loved ones. Allow us to explain… Abbie Burnett and John David Duggar got married in November of 2018. That was seven months ago, which means the couple is WAY behind in terms of getting pregnant and planning what we presume will be a huge family… … simply based on the pattern showed over the years by all of John David’s loved ones. But might the time finally be here? Might Abbie finally be pregnant? A relative may have actually spoiled the answer in unexpected and accidental fashion last week. Several days ago, as you likely have read about by now, the Duggars lost matriarch Mary in a tragic drowning accident . She was only 74 years old at the time and the unexpected passing led to a number of tributes from those who knew Mary well. Inlcuding Jessa Duggar. Jim Bob’s beloved mother died just days after meeting Jessa and Ben Seewald’s latest baby, who just happened to be born on Grandma Mary’s birthday. In part of the caption shew wrote as a shout-out to Mary, Jessa wrote the following: “She was so excited about the many new great-grandbabies due this coming fall and winter, and it never got old for her.” Did you catch it? The hint Jessa may have dropped about Abbie’s womb? We’ll break it down for you: Many Duggars are pregnant at the moment. Like, many, many, many Duggars. But here’s the thing: Lauren (Swanson) Duggar, Kendra (Caldwell) Duggar, Anna Duggar, and Joy-Anna (Duggar) Forsyth are all due in November. Moreover, their cousin Amy, is due in October. Those due dates all land in autumn… yet Jessa said Mary had been excited to welcome her “great-grandbabies due this coming fall and winter.” Yes: And winter . It sure sounds like someone else is expecting, doesn’t it? We figure it has to be Abbie because she and John David are simply due for a pregnancy announcement. Granted, they both waited a little while before tying the knot (John David is 28 and Abbie is 26), breaking from the Duggar tradtion of becoming a spouse by the age of, like, 20 and a parent of multiple kids by the age of, like 23. “We are so excited to be married!” they told Us Weekly back in November, adding at the time: “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together.” “This is going to be an amazing journey!” But will it include a newborn this December or next January or next February? We’ll probably find out soon! View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [UPDATED]

Desna Is A Stiletto Nails Kinda Girl, But Niecy Nash Prefers A Coffin Shape

Original post:

Source: NBC / Getty Niecy Nash’s fierce character Desna might be a stiletto shape nail girl, but Niecy Nash, in her real life, is a coffin shape nail kinda girl. The Claws star hosted an intimate lunch for NYC media, where she opened up about how Desna’s nail shape correlates to her fiery personality and why she loves being pampered. “I’m a coffin girl in my real life,” she revealed. “But Desna is a stiletto. We all have a different nail shape on the show. Virgina is coffin. Polly is oval. Jen is square and Ann is more natural — a very short length. We all have a different nail on the show that speaks to our personalities. But in my real life, I’m much more of a coffin girl.” Niecy’s biggest co-stars are her nails, which means they require a lot of attention. To care for her natural nails, Niecy has been wearing custom press-ons during her press runs. “It puts a lot of wear and tear on your nails when you’re on a show like this. My natural nails, I’ve been wearing them a lot more often. For my press run I do my custom press-ons just to give them a break.” View this post on Instagram Too much fun in these streets! Swipe to see who’s nails I’m doing!! she motivational, fun & cute as a button… love you too Tracy! A post shared by Niecy Nash (@niecynash1) on May 29, 2019 at 2:47pm PDT And Niecy isn’t just pretending to know how to do nails on the show, she actually underwent nail tech training, but opts out of doing her own nails. “They put us through school and training to know how, but no,” she joked. “I like to be taken care of. I work so much and it’s not just the acting, it’s the care for the people even when you’re not on set.” With such a busy schedule, “to be able to have a beat to have someone take care of you, I sign up for it.” Claws airs every Sunday at 9pm on TNT.

Katy Perry to Taylor Swift: You Can Come to My Wedding on One Condition …

Well, by now you’ve probably heard the news that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have ended their feud . And not only have the pop stars buried the hatchet, they’ve also embarked on a very enthusiastic — and very public — friendship. The whole thing feels more like a corporate merger than an end of a personal rivalry, but hey — we suppose it’s preferable to Swift and Perry constantly making tabloid headlines by taking petty shots at each other. The feud was pretty entertaining at first, but as it entered its fifth year, the dueling divas schtick began to wear thin. So whether it’s due to newfound maturity or the realization that they’re more interesting to the public as friends than as enemies, Katy and Taylor have called a truce. And they’ve gone from enemies to besties in record time. Katy is engaged to Orlando Bloom these days, and while a wedding date has not yet been made public, it seems that Perry has already curated her guest list. According to a new report from Radar Online, Taylor made the cut — but she’s been cautioned not to try and steal Katy’s thunder. “Katy invited both Taylor and her boyfriend to the wedding, but there was one condition — she cannot wear white,” an insider tells the site. That’s pretty standard wedding etiquette, but we suppose when you’ve spent the past half-decade publicly trash-talking one of your guests, it’s best to make the rules explicit and not leave anything to chance. As for what’s next for the singers, it should come as no surprise that Swift and Perry are planning to release a single together. “A collaboration between the two is already in the works and has been since they reunited,” says the source. “They are so much alike and they know how lucrative their friendship can be.” But it’s not all about the bottom line, of course. Katy and Taylor are both seeing dollar signs these days, but insiders say their connection is genuine, and they’re both benefitting from their renewed friendship in numerous ways. “Neither one of them really have anyone who can relate to them, and Katy is really giddy about this,” says the source. “They are both with other men now and they’re not going to let all of that continue to come in between them. “They laugh about it now because of how immature they both were.” Publicly, Taylor has suggested the media was to blame for her feud with Katy, but privately, she’s reportedly accepted partial responsibility. The insider claims that both women have reflected on what sort of negative influence they may have had on their impressionable fan bases by engaging in years of “mean girl” behavior. And now, they’re hoping to lead by example: “They are going to use their newfound friendship to help people instead of to create headlines,” says the insider. Sounds like a plan to us!

Josh & Anna Duggar FINALLY Reveal Gender of Baby #6!

Josh Duggar and Anna Duggar recently teased the gender of their 6th child .  And after fans actually took the time to cast their votes via an Instagram poll, the parents just announced the answer after pulling off an extremely unique gender reveal.  Drumroll, please… They’re having a girl!  The reveal was a family affair as they couldn’t have pulled it off without the help of their many  kids. During the sweet moment, which was shared on Instagram, one of the sons poured water over a gold beehive which read, “What’s it gonna bee?!” The hive then bubbled over with pink foam.  “It’s a girl!” the kids screamed, jumping and clapping with excitement.  “This is the 6th gender reveal for our little family and it [is] always so exciting!” Anna wrote to Instagram on Thursday to share the happy news. We don’t know why she chose the word “little”, considering the two are already parents to Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith and Mason…but ok.  “Each child God has given us is unique and special — we all look forward to the arrival of our daughter/sister this fall!” the mother of six continued. Anna also took a moment to reminisce on their first ever gender reveal which was inspired by grandma Mary Duggar.  “This morning Jessa [Duggar] sent over an article which mentioned our first gender reveal with Mackynzie on the Today Show as something that helped popularize gender reveal cakes 10 years ago,” she shared. “While it’s hard to believe it’s been that long, it also reminded us to get this video posted!” She then went on to share the precious story — reminding us of what a significant role the late Mary played in all of her grandchildren’s lives. “A little behind the scenes story,” she started. “When I was expecting Kynzie, Grandma Duggar excitedly told me of a ‘new trend’ that featured baking a gender reveal cake,” said Anna. “Grandma asked if she and Amy [Duggar] could bake one for us?!?!” “Josh and I loved the idea and that was our plan…until our producers heard about the idea and it grew quite a bit!” Buddy the Cake Boss ended up baking their first gender reveal cake and the couple cut into a pink desert alongside Meredith Vieira in New York City. “All that to say, Grandma was the one who sparked this special tradition for our family and it sounds like a lot of other families have enjoyed the idea over the years as well!” Anna said today. After Mary Duggar’s tragic drowning last week , this sixth reveal was a special moment for the Duggar family. “This 6th gender reveal is a reminder of her love — I’m so glad we were able to share the news of our third little girl with Great-Grandma before she went to be with Jesus!” Anna continued. She concluded her emotional post by adding the hashtag #littleduggars. The couple announced that they were expecting back on April 26 . As with everything involving Josh, the news received a mixed reaction from the public. For many, the Josh Duggar sex scandals remain a painfully vivid memory, and there are those who believe the 31-year-old is beyond forgiveness. Thankfully, Josh has not attempted a return to television — as has often been rumored — but developments in his personal life are still big news in Duggar Nation. “We couldn’t be happier to share with the world that our family is growing by one this Fall,” the couple said as part of their pregnancy announcement. As usual, the Duggar faithful praised the couple, while many others pointed out that it’s more than a little unnerving to think of a known sexual predator being surrounded by so many children  But even though Josh and Anna are often the targets of scrutiny ( which is totally fair due to Josh’s disgusting and monstrous past! )  we’ll still offer our reluctant congrats to this growin’ fam!  At the very least, we’re happy for their adorable kids, as they anxiously await the arrival of their little sister.
