Since joining the series in its third season, Phaedra Parks has used her platform on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ to raise awareness for a number of societal ills.

Praised for her continued efforts to solve the Flint Water Crisis among many other crises while on the show, Parks now finds that she is the one in need of help after unconfirmed reports claimed she had booted from the series.

How its fans has received this news?

Poorly, and they’ve taken to Twitter to lambast the unconfirmed report with hopes it will see the altruistic attorney retain her position.

‘Scandal’ has reached a major milestone!

Now in its sixth season, the hit ABC show will air its 100th episode this Thursday (April 13th).

And to mark the occasion, Kerry Washington and Shonda Rhimes (pictured above) led an elaborate celebration at Fig & Olive in Los Angeles.

Cast and crew, from past seasons and present, assembled to turn up – including John Morton and Khandi Alexander (who play Papa and Mama Pope respectively).

The event took place on the heels of confirmation that the legal drama will be back for a seventh season in the 2017/2018 TV season.

Another couple bites the dust and this time it’s Mariah Carey and dancer Bryan Tanaka.

According to TMZ, the couple have gone their separate ways and the climate is far from pleasant.

The reasons, per Mimi sources, centre on alleged jealousy.

Our sources say Bryan had unbridled fury over Mariah’s relationship with ex-hubby Nick Cannon. She’s been chummy with him for sure, mostly for the benefit of their twins. They vacation as a family and go to dinner and parties together, sometimes without the kids. We’re told it drove Bryan insane.

We’re told Bryan would lash back at her by flirting and even coming onto women in plain view of Mariah.

The last straw came at the Kids’ Choice Awards last month, when Nick and Mariah took the twins. We’re told Bryan felt the display “disrespected” him and during the event he demanded she come home.

The report adds that the 47-year-old star also felt Tanaka slid in to her life conveniently following her split from fiance James Packer. She’s also said to have become fed up of funding his lifestyle.

Although, we’re scratching our heads at those claims as she wasn’t forced into anything.

***********

We can’t pretend that we cared much for this showmance. In many ways, like much of Mariah’s antics of late, the whole thing was an embarrassment for all involved. Like, who can forget that catastrophically cringe “scene” on ‘Mariah’s World’?

Hopefully the changes she’s making in her private life roll into her professional endeavours too, because that most certainly needs a number of tweaks.

Thanks to the internet and the previously concealed information it offers, it is becoming increasingly impossible to convince the masses that racism (even when subtle) is a figment of the coloured imagination.

So, we’re sure few are surprised that Nivea continues to come under fire for launching a number of suspiciously sinister ads which seem to present black skin and hair as “uncivilised” and “impure.”

What they’ve done now?
