The Twitterverse was set alight this morning with news that ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ starlet Porsha Stewart and husband Kordell Stewart are soon to be splitsville.

Indeed, Kordell – who hasn’t won much love from fans since his inclusion on the show due to opinions that he is “too controlling” – was actually the one who filed the petition for divorce.

Via Access Atlanta:

“Petitioner, after marrying respondent, a cast member on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” on May 21, 2011, is seeking divorce as the marriage is irretrievably broken.“

Reports also indicate the former NFL player says the show has damaged his reputation.

Movie fans may remember that at initial reports of Quentin Tarantino‘s controversial slavery film ‘Django Unchained‘s casting, rapper/actor Will Smith was touted as its lead.  However, by the time the film neared release, Jamie Foxx was cast as the movie‘s main character.

While not much fuss was made at the time, Smith recently acknowledged his decision to pass on the film.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

‘Django wasn’t the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead,’ said Smith. ‘The other character was the lead! I was like, “No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!”‘

The actor did later shower the film with praise and commend Jamie for his performance.

Jennifer Hudson stunned spectators in her Donna Karan ensemble last night as she strutted her way to the dedication of a new ‘Weight Watchers’ center in honor of the company’s founder Jean Nidetch.

Simultaneously celebrating its 50th anniversary, the weight loss titans tapped J.Hud – its present spokesperson – to share news about her weight loss journey.

While there, the soon-to-be-Mrs. Otunga shared news on her new album as well and her thoughts on this season of American Idol (including Nicki Minaj vs. Mariah Carey).

See some quotes and photos from the event below:

A potent potion of hits, fashion, and outlandish have seen rapper A$AP Rocky ascend into the major leagues. However, it’s also the MC’s forward-thinking cultural commentary that has caught the attention of the masses for the right reasons.

Case, point his feature in the latest issue of Interview magazine. Paired with a (now trademark) risqué  photoshoot, the piece saw the 24-year-old New York native sit down for a Q&A with designer Alexander Wang – whose line he wore in the shoot.

Perhaps most interesting in their discussion was Rocky’s unprompted and frank take on the issue of homophobia in Hip-Hop. He said:

“One big issue in hip-hop is the gay thing. It’s 2013, and it’s a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It’s crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip-hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip-hop is small-minded or stupid—and that’s not the case. We’ve got people like Jay-Z. We’ve got people like Kanye. We’ve got people like me. We’re all prime examples of people who don’t think like that. I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they’re gonna represent me. And if I’m gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.”

Insightful.
