With the promo cycle for her ‘ANTI’ album seemingly complete (capping off in the US at 610,098 pure sales), RiRi is turning her attention to film.

As reported, the Bajan belle has signed on to ‘Oceans 8’ – the all-female reboot of the ‘Ocean’s 11’ franchise.

The heist drama, which also stars Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, and Cate Blanchett, hits theaters on June 8th 2018.

Despite the lengthy lead-in, 28-year-old Rihanna has begun the teasing process.

‘America’s Next Top Model‘s legacy will be a confusing one.

While praised for permeating Pop culture and solidifying Tyra Banks‘ legacy on one hand, it- rather unfortunately- is also critiqued for its failure to produce an actual ‘Top Model’ and its treatment of its contestants.

From forcing African-American models to shave their heads bald for ratings-pulling reactions, to allegedly doing little to support the careers of its winners, the show- for more informed viewers- isn’t all Banks and company touted it to be.

The latest contestant to criticise the platform?

Tiffany Richardson, berated by Banks when she refused to cry after learning she had been eliminated in its fourth cycle.

What she has to say about her experience?

Joseline Hernandez made headlines when it was announced that she’d be joining ‘The Real’ as a guest-host.

As reported, the show has welcomed a series of visitors to fill the still-vacant seat left by  panelist Tamar Braxton – whose outlandish antics were reportedly the reason for her axing.

Yet, with the ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ firecracker being renown for popping off at a moment’s notice, some scratched their heads at the decision to book her.

As for us, we loved it!

Ms. Hernandez showcased the same spark, while offering an air of refined. Her stint made for a great week of laughs and highlighted how she’s grown  – without losing what makes her…her.

Here are a selection of our favorite moments from the Puerto Rican Princess’ stint on ‘The Real’ …

Omarosa has been catching flack left, right, and center for her highly prominent role in President Donald Trump‘s administration.

Unfazed, the reality-star-turned-pastor-turned-political-Director-of-Communications is standing firm in her word and cutting into anyone who crosses her path.

Such was the case during her recent visit to The View.

The former ‘Apprentice’ contestant fired from all cylinders when tackled by the ladies on the show. She sunk her claws especially deep into anchor Joy Behar.

Welcome to another edition of Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to honour the work of artists responsible for some of Pop culture’s brightest moments.

Today, as her role of villain on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ keeps her name hot on the lips of a new generation of TV lovers, we honour Kenya Moore‘s contributions to music, fashion and film and the often overlooked career she enjoyed before becoming a “Housewife.”

Born on January 24th 1971, Moore rose to stardom aged 22 when she became the winner of Miss USA in 1993.

What came next was a fruitful run in Hollywood which saw her support African-American fronted projects with performances which, for better or worse, would lead her to ‘Housewives’ front door.

Take that journey to the past with us via clips pulled from her projects below…
