Cop a gander of Idris Elba!

The Hollywood heartthrob lives up to his billing in the latest issue of ESSENCE magazine.

Ever busy, 44-year-old is gearing up for the release of his new movie ‘The Dark Tower’ as well as the next season of ‘Luther’ together with his role of father to a toddler and a teen.

Speaking to the publication about his multitude of commitments, Elba said:

“Because I’m 44 years old with a two-and-a-half-year-old boy, I’m rolling around playing and then I’m at a Drake concert with my teenage daughter. Having a young child now keeps me young, without a doubt…”

Peep another shot from the feature, which was snapped in Thailand where the actor is training for a kickboxing competition, below…

Blac Chyna is tired of men exposing the nude images she sends to them.

How she plans to prevent her part-time lover Rarri True from uploading snaps of her nook, cranny and fanny online?

The law!

Rarri posted a semi-naked image of he and the celebrity following her blow-up with Rob Kardashian prompting Chyna to strike him with a letter she hopes will scare him off.

Her efforts are backed by California’s revenge porn laws put in protect people like Chyna whose naked images who have been posted online without their permission.

Jennifer Lopez has unleashed the video for ‘Ni Tú Ni Yo’ – the lead single from her upcoming Spanish-language album.

Lensed in Islamorada, Florida, the sizzling clip sees the stunner slay in array of ensembles for an adorning lover.

Directed by Emil Nava, the visual – which co-stars Gente de Zona and Khotan Fernandez –  awaits below…

Simple, yet stunning!

Sure we’d have loved choreography, but La Lopez proves to be an arresting watch no matter what.

Britney Spears has hit many a major stage in her time, but according to sources she has her heart set on the Super Bowl 2018.

Having expressed said desires to her team, advocates for the 35-year-old are said to have been in “secret” discussions with organizers of next year’s Halftime Show – which takes place in Minneapolis on February 4th. 

The apparent thinking from Britney and her team is that she has the catalogue and the name brand, so it’ll be an attractive prospect for both viewers and advertisers. There’s reportedly talk of pairing Spears with other acts to fill the 12 minute spot.

If indeed a “go,” it’d technically be the singer’s 2nd Halftime appearance; she previously performed as a guest alongside Aerosmith and Nsync. [Source]

No. Just no.

And we say that as appreciators of Britney’s legacy. Because should she do it, she’s liable to make a permanent blotch on her legacy that can’t be removed nor glossed over.

No matter which way it’s diced or sliced, she is a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of the performer she once was. Something everyone would become privy to seeing should she be carted out to “perform.”

Even pairing her with other acts runs risk of highlighting her diminished abilities.

So, again, issa no from us.

Perhaps, in light of her love for live singing, she could kick off festivities with the US Nation Anthem?

Keyshia Cole is gearing up for a starring role on VH1’s ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood,’ but it looks like the drama is starting early for the R&B belle.

According to court documents, the singer has been served with a lawsuit by  Sabrina Mercadel – a woman who claims the star put them paws on her. She is seeking $4 million in compensation for her injuries.

As for the catalyst for the alleged incident, it’s Cole’s ex Birdman.

The pair are believed to have dated back in 2014. Yet, that all came to a head when Cole arrived at this Los Angeles penthouse only to find Mercadel there.

She is said to have flown into a jealous rage and laid the literal smackdown on her love rival.
Explaining the total tallied, Mercadel listed the following:

$1.5 mil, pain and suffering
$500k, emotional distress
 $2 mil, loss of use of body part
 $200k, future medical expenses
 $50k, loss of earnings
 $300k, future loss of earnings

Interestingly, Mercadel (who says she only had a “platonic” relationship with Birdman) was initially suing his building (for what reason who knows). However, she was since dropped that suit and is making a beeline for Keish.

A mucky mess.

Tyler the Creator of the collective Odd Future seems to have announced that he is a bisexual man via lyrics he penned for his new LP ‘Flower Boy.’

The set surfaced on the net prematurely on July 9th and with it were lines which detail his dalliances with men and the efforts he made to conceal them.

Been kissing white boys since 2004.

Another?

Them feelings I was guardin’, heavy on my mind/All my friends lost, they couldn’t read the signs/I didn’t wanna talk and tell ’em my location, and they ain’t wanna walk/Truth is, since a youth kid, thought it was a phase, Thought it’d be like the Frank; poof, gone…

Of course, Creator’s story surfaces five years after his good friend Frank Ocean came out his via his ‘Channel Orange‘ LP.

For spectators of the ‘Black Lives Matter‘ spokesman DeRay McKesson the blue vest he often sports has now become just as recognisable as the intense debates he engages in to combat systemic racism.

What any of this has to do with the new ‘Planet of the Apes’ movie?

Following the release of its trailer and poster, eagle-eyed viewers from around the world claim to have spotted something unsettling.

 

Citing Hollywood’s worrying habit of comparing black men to monkeys (click here) as their grounds for concern, said eagle-eyed fans have now taken to social media to demand an explanation from the movie’s producers.

Janet Jackson is back on US soil.

The legendary singer has been nested in London for months after setting up home there with her husband Wissam Al Mana and their newborn son Eissa. In recent times though, she’s been in the UK capital hashing out her divorce from the billionaire businessman.

And while the status of the legal proceedings are unknown, it would appear there are no restrictions on her travel movements. Because, Ms. Jackson was spotted arriving in New York today – baby in tow.

With the September 7th launch of the singer’s ‘State Of The World Tour’ drawing near, it’s little surprise she’s returned to the US. Especially as that’s where the trek sets sail.

In any case, peep pics and clips below…

Blac Chyna has landed the upper hand in her game of one-upmanship with former boo Rob Kardashian.

As widely reported, the exes became embroiled in a shocking social media exchange last week which saw Rob expose intimate images of the socialite.

Allegedly fearing for her safety, Chyna lawyered up and went to court today to secure a restraining order against Rob as well as an injunction to prevent him releasing what team calls “revenge porn.”

Said requests were granted moments ago and the reality star took to the steps of the courthouse with her attorney to express her gratitude to the judge. Check it out:

The spectacle surrounding all of this defines disgusting. But it’s hardly surprising given the parties involved.

Our thoughts are with their daughter Dream, who is ultimately the only innocent party in the narrative.

JAY-Z is taking his Platinum coated ‘4:44’ album on the road.

Moments ago, the rapper and his team announced the trek’s North American leg, which will be playing to arenas across the US October through December. Named sponsors include TIDAL, Sprint, Puma, and Live Nation  – the latter of whom have a 10-year $200 million touring partnership with the star.

The news comes less than two weeks after the Hip-Hop titan unleashed the LP; a set that is being hailed as his most lyrically rich.

Jay’s dates also arrive after a number of high-profile festival slots this summer – including Made In America and the UK’s V Festival.

K. Michelle’s decision to slide in the center of Joseline Hernandez‘ feud with Mona Scott-Young has spelled hell for her on social media.

Formerly friends on Young’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘, Hernandez and Michelle came to digital blows when the latter joined efforts to discredit the former after she accused Young of manipulating disenfranchised women of colour for financial gain.

Hurt by this, Hernandez took to social media to reveal that she was disappointed by K’s move prompting the singer to rock her world by mocking her alleged cocaine addiction.

How social media responded?

 


 

Do you agree?

Blac Chyna‘s war with the Kardashians is to make its way to ABC today.

There, joined by her lawyer Lisa Bloom, the supposed scammer will bare all on her relationship with Rob Kardashian, her alleged infidelities, how she feels about his decision to expose her nude images and claims that she is a terribly unfit mother.

Her interview will air on ‘Good Morning America‘ as she battles claims that she and the man she is said to have cheated on Rob with are high-priced escorts distributing their cakes and cookies in Hollywood.
