The unfortunate demise of Jesse Williams‘ marriage has taken another turn for the dramatic now that he has asked a judge to grant him formal custody of his children.

Why?

He claims his soon-to-be ex-wife Aryn Drake-Lee only allows him to see the kids for three hours each day and has rejected his request to have them stay at the property he rented three miles away from her home for sleepovers.

The couple were divorced for four and a half years before Williams filed for divorce in April and, after separating amicably, now find themselves of opposite ends of a legal war Williams hopes to win.

Aryn had this to say about Williams’ request for joint-custody and the press it had garnered via her legal reps weeks ago:

Protecting the privacy and well-being of their children is of paramount importance to Aryn Drake-Lee Williams,’ Hersh told Us Weekly.

It is unfortunate that Mr. Williams has chosen to draw public attention to this difficult time and transition for their family. Aryn is solely interested in the best interests of their children, supporting a healthy relationship with both parents, and protecting the children’s privacy.

Kenya Moore‘s marriage to Marc Daly has spelled trouble for her role on the hit series ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’

For, after learning that she had wed away from the show’s cameras, producers have now urged the former singleton to allow them into her life as married woman.

The problem? Daly is unimpressed by the show’s presentation of its husbands and so rejected the offer prompting producers to present Kenya with an ultimatum.

TMZ reveals:

We’re told Kenya has argued the show hired her, not her husband. There’s no mention of him in her contract. What’s more, she told producers she’s waited 46 years for a loving relationship which she now has, and doesn’t want to jeopardize it. Our sources say her plea has fallen on deaf ears. We’re told producers have essentially given her an ultimatum — either get Marc on the show or she’ll be phased out.

Production on the show’s tenth cycle kicked off in the first week of June.

Rob Kardashian was on a rampage…until shortly ago when his Instagram handle was disabled.

Setting the Internet alight this morning with some damning posts against his baby mama/model Blac Chyna (as we reported here), the youngest of the Kardashian clan also made headlines for taking aim at T.I. after the rapper offered his two cents on the situation (as we also reported here).

Now, with Rob’s page down, all eyes are on Chyna.  Fans and detractors of the model/actress have taken to her Instagram handle to instigate a response to all the hoopla by lining all of her posts with “Ls.”

Despite the ongoing online assault against Chyna, Rob hasn’t exactly left the situation unscathed.  Some commenters are calling the model’s alleged betrayal of the youngest Kardashian “karma” for his mistreatment of former girlfriend Adrienne Bailon.

Remember that infamous slap?

What fresh hell is this?

Minutes after rocking Blac Chyna‘s world by exposing her supposed scandalous and sensual proclivities, Rob Kardashian has set his sights on the rapper TI.

Why?

The ‘Live Your Life’ rapper made the mistake of weighing in on the drama by asking Rob to take his domestic drama off and away from social media. Enraged and armed with headline-making information, Kardashian clawed back.

Since TI wanna chime in on business that don’t concern him let’s talk about the threesome you had with Chyna and your baby mama Tiny. Don’t speak on my daughter when u having threesomes with young Chy and Tiny ::: and I put that on my daughters life since u wanna speak on my daughter,,, damn shame. Chyna told me everything about your threesomes with you and her and Tiny. U got no moves bro ;;; Correction ::: TI paid Chyna to have sex with Tiny and him

Rob Kardashian seeks to shower shame and disgrace on his former flame Blac Chyna by leaking explicit images of her.

Hahahaha Chyna just sent me this video saying happy 4th of July what a crazy person. Come spend time with your daughter instead of f***ing me and then this dude right after. U need help.

He claims Chyna sent him a positive 4th of July message before cheating on him with another man.

More receipts are coming. Just yesterday Chyna sent me her p***y and everything and said she gonna come f*** me … wait for it. Never once have I cheated on Chyna and I remained loyal to her even after all the cheating she been doing and the multiple men she been f***ing including me … @ferraritru3′

Alas, there’s more.

Rob also revealed that Chyna lied about how she shed the weight she gained following the birth of their baby.

He also claims that the social media star is addicted to drugs!

More receipts to come of all the drugs that were dropped off to her house yesterday including 100 bottles of Moet Rose she asked me to get her. U will never see Dream again unless u stop the alcohol and drugs and cocaine and X and E. lol.

Keith Powers rises in Hollywood‘s ranks on the wings of his contributions to the New Edition biopic this year.

Seemingly free from the fiasco he faced over remarks he made about bisexuality,  the actor now glides towards box office glory by way of his union with ‘Maximum Impact.’

The project is directed by ‘Romeo Must Die’ director and Aaliyah collaborator Andrzej Bartkowiak and welcomed Powers to the fray as Special Agent Vance, a major player in its game of war, espionage and high drama.

Its storyline?

The US State Secretary arrives on a secret summit in Moscow, in order to dissipate the tension between the Russia-Americal relations. However the world face the threat of a World War III, when a leader on an international terrorist group organizes an assassination of the US State Secretary and kidnaps his granddaughter. Despite their differences, CIA and FSB unite to save humanity.

Keep it locked on TGJ for the project’s release date.

Who makes up the ingredients of today’s blend?

The unstoppable force that is Rihanna and the British movie ‘The Weekend.‘

This year will bring with it the development of the star’s first project with Ava Duvernay and Lupita Nyong’O. Before that, she celebrates the unleashing of ‘Valerian & the City of a Thousand Planets’, the movie she stars in alongside her pal Cara Delevingne which impacts U.S. on July 21st.

Some good news before it drops? Try this.

Fenty’s decision to sign up to appear in the release helped its producers bag a budget of $222,935,050 (197 million Euros) and is expected to help it draw in $20 million in the North America in its opening weekend.

Her union with the space opera leads the way for her next studio album which is to be built by writing camps in the U.K. and U.S. this summer.

New to Netflix this summer is ‘The Weekend‘, the British comedy delivered by Sheridan De Myers and the comedian Kojo.

The British production is now available to stream worldwide on the platform following its healthy run at theatres in its domestic market.

As the breakout star of ‘Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta‘, Joseline Hernandez rose in television’s ranks as a formidable force on and off-camera.

Today, after announcing that she had quit the series, she has taken to Instagram Live to issue a warning to the show’s mastermind Mona Scott-Young.

Give me my money

Disappointed in Scott’s supposed efforts to offer viewers an unhealthy and exaggerated look into the lives of people of colour, Hernandez claims she is owed over $150,000 and is ready to seek justice in court.

That isn’t all.

For, she also revealed that her portrayal on the series was edited to present her as a wild and maniacal villain…a far cry from the astute business woman who pushed the series to household name status.

Watch below…

Step into the lives of an LGBT street gang in the movie ‘Check It’.

Introduced to the world at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival, the movie was spotted by the polarising Louis C.K. who took it under his wing by breathing new life into it and bagging himself an executive-producer credit in the process.

 Dana Flor, Toby Oppenheimer and Steve Buscemi stand as its original creatives and now join C.K. to unlock its story via a new trailer.

C.K. had this to say about it:

It knocked me right over. It was an amazing emotional ride. It was funny and moving, I learned a lot and it gave me a lot to think about after. They started this gang to protect each other. They made a family where they didn’t have one. It’s not an easy film. It takes on life right where the rubber hits the road. What made me love it was just the kids themselves. They are like any kids, like anyone’s children. They are trying to cope against terrible odds, they are funny and full of hope and life. Their lives are difficult and complex. They are very generous in sharing this with the filmmakers and you, if you watch the film.

The Gal Gadot-fronted movie ‘Wonder Woman’ has given Warner Bros. reason to rejoice this week after its earnings spun past the $700 million mark worldwide!

The movie was directed by Patty Jenkins and forged out of a $149 million budget with a screenplay penned by Allan Heinberg and now, thanks to its stellar performances and product, has generated $700 million worldwide weeks after its June 2nd release!

Set to rise to brilliant new heights once it opens in Japan, the movie’s success will come as welcome news to the aforementioned Jenkins who was forced to face unsubstantiated claims of on-set drama before its release.

She had this to say about it:

Woah, just saw this press about WW having problems. Are they serious? This is some made up bs right here. Made up! Produce a source, anyone. You can’t because it’s entirely false. Don’t believe the hype people. Someone’s trying to spread some serious misinfo. Isn’t until you are intimately involved in these things that you realize how totally false these rumors can. Let me reassure you, zero about the movie we are making has been called a mess by anyone in the know. Fact. Real lasso of truth, time, will reveal that letter to be false soon enough. But lame something so transparent in its agenda gets traction.

It seems she was right!

According to sources, there’s a shake-up over at ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ and it involves Eva Marcille.

TMZ reports that producers for the show’s highly anticipated 10th season are keen on the ‘America’s Next Top Model’ winner. So much so that she’s already filming “test scenes” with a returning NeNe Leakes.

A selection of prior recruits have had suspect/non-existent ties to ATL pre-joining the show, but Eva’s connection is rock solid. The LA native has been in a long-term relationship with Atlanta based politician Michael Sterling.

The idea, production sources say, is to have her potentially replace Cynthia Bailey or Porsha Williams – two names said to be in danger of reduced roles due to a lack of storyline.

**************

It’s worth stressing that there have been many a lady who’ve filmed with the cast, sometimes for much of the season, only to be edited out almost entirely come airtime.

That said, Eva would make an excellent addition. At least on paper.

She’s sassy, intelligent, and has an established profile. Crucially, from a storyline standpoint, she also has a lot going on too – namely her budding acting career, a bae, a daughter, and a touch of “baby daddy drama” with Kevin McCall.

It’s a hard call establishing who she’d be a good replacement for.

At 32, she brings the youth appeal Porsha is loved for; while her ‘ANTM’ background makes her a natural successor to former model Cynthia.

Whatever the case, we’d love to see Eva The Diva on the ‘Housewives.’ Would you?
