Oprah Winfrey blew the roof off the Golden Globes 2018 with an acceptance speech that will no doubt resonate for years to come.
The multi-media maven was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award and seized the moment to shine light on the plight of those affected by (and who have spoken up against) sexual harassment and social injustice. Poignant given the current #MeToo and #TimesUp movement sweeping through Hollywood.
Speaking on the matter, she said:
“What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories.”
Drawing on narratives such as that of Recy Taylor and others, Winfrey earned multiple standing ovations from the capacity crowd.
An expert and inspiring orator, Winfrey wowed like only she can.

Tuck in below to find out who walked away with the coveted trophies from tonight’s showing at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

It’s Blue Ivy‘s 6th birthday and father JAY-Z aptly salutes his first born with an animated visual for ‘Blue’s Freestyle’ from his ‘4:44’ album.
Directed by Maurice Taylor, the clip takes place at a school recital and features Blue – watched on by mom and pops – rapping the now infamous lyrics “never seen a ceiling in my whole life.”
Peep the super cute video after the jump…
From The Vault is back with a track straight from the mighty 90’s.
En Vogue’s ‘Whatever’ is this week’s pick.
Issued as the second single from the Funky Divas’ third LP ‘EV3’, it stands as the ladies first offering since Dawn Robinson’s departure.
Helmed by Babyface, it marked a change in the group’s sonic trajectory after working extensively with production duo Denzil Foster & Thomas McElroy on previous projects.
Though not as successful as its predecessor, the Robinson-led ‘Don’t Let Go’, the jam still managed to hit the Top 20 in both the US and the UK, at #16 and #14 respectively.
Frequent collaborator Matthew Rolston was the director for the accompanying video.
Set in a spooky beauty salon, the clip showcased the darker side of the group its members surrounded by mad scientists and donning BDSM-like outfits. Ironically, in all their monstrous-glory, En Vogue never lose their effortless elegance. The definition of a class act.
Years after their latest fall-out, it seems the original line-up still haven’t patched things up…
With groups like Xscape and New Edition enjoying career revivals at present, we’re sure we’re not the only ones hoping that the founding foursome mend fences.
We don’t care if it means spilling their tea on a reality TV or launching a Kickstarter campaign, as long as musical activity follows.
En Vogue, ready when you are!

With over 20 years of success, Mary J. Blige is the definition of endurance.
But her journey has been far from smooth – and that’s a reality she’s been consistently candid about.
Speaking at the BAFTA Tea Party in Los Angeles last night, she continued with said frankness when quizzed about the current sexual abuse scandal rocking Hollywood.
True to her trademark brand of “no nonsense,” MJB used her own experience to weigh in on the debate and made it clear – she is not to be messed with.

There’s no love lost between friends-turned-foes Chris Brown and Kevin McCall – but the latter just escalated things to a whole new level.
The embattled singer was shot in the foot recently – something it was initially thought he did himself.
However, he told TMZ that it was more a case of “wrong place, wrong time.”
That should have been that, right? Wrong!
McCall clearly had time to be flicking through his mentions during his recovery, and offered a shocking response to suggestion from one commenter that Brown may have had something to do with his condition.
