‘America’s Got Talent’: Tyra Banks “Assault” Pulled From Episode

Footage of Tyra Banks‘ alleged assault of a young girl will not air on ‘America’s Got Talent’.

Earlier this week, the philanthropic mogul learned that the series was being sued by a couple who claimed that she mocked, degraded and used physical force to humiliate their daughter following their audition.

Fans of the show’s new season had hoped that footage of the potentially bogus attack would air on television to reveal what really happened.

Alas, it won’t.

The New York Daily News reports:

The NBC show will not air a segment featuring a couple who sued the show on Tuesday, alleging that host Tyra Banks humiliated their daughter while taping.

The couple, who allegedly wrote a song boasting about their daughter for “AGT,” claimed Banks made fun of it, and insinuated the girl was conceived by accident. It was ultimately dismissed on Thursday.

“We take great care of all acts that cross the ‘AGT’ stage and their families,” AGT’s parent company, Fremantle Media, said in a statement to the Daily News. “Tyra has been an incredible addition to ‘AGT’ with her vibrant energy and maternal nurturing spirit, and we look forward to continuing to watch her positive influence on the show.”

Why do you think AGT made this decision?

John Boyega Faces Bomb Scare Following Ariana Grande Attack

The Nigerian actor John Boyega has been forced to evacuate the building in which he was performing a stage play in following a bomb scare.

The star was performing at London’s Old Vic theatre today when he was rushed out of the building after a suspicious and potentially lethal object was found inside.

He, along with the 1,000 fans who arrived to see him live, were removed from the location and directed to an evacuation spot by police days after 22 people were murdered by a suicide bomber at an Ariana Grande concert.

An audience member revealed:

When an evacuation happens it’s either a fire drill or it might be a bomb.

The company manager came on while John Boyega was on stage, asked the audience to remain calm and said the show was going to end. Then the duty manager said ‘please evacuate’.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan police shared…

Police were called at 14:38pm on Saturday, May 27, to The Cut, Waterloo, to a report of a security alert at a theatre.

The theatre took the decision to evacuate the building. Road closures have been put in place. Specialist officers are on the scene.

Monica’s Net Worth Rises To 15 Million Dollars

In 1995, the 14-year-old Monica emerged onto Pop’s scene with the R&B album ‘Miss Thang.’

In 2017, twenty two years later, the vocalist has seen the career the album launched push her net worth to meteoric heights!

How so?

Details after the visual below…

When her income is prised away from numbers pulled in by her husband Shannon Brown, the star’s personal net worth rises to the $15 million mark.

That’s right..

15,000,000.

How the vocalist did it?

The answer to that question lies in the 5.3 million units her albums have moved in the United States, her commercially fruitful time with Berliner and Johnson‘s RCA Records and the lyrical contributions she made to her discography.

The difference between one’s net worth and income?

Your net worth is the value of your personal possessions (cars, houses and other personal possessions) sans all debts or liabilities.

Income on the other hand measures how much you earn after deductions like taxes have been made.

Unfortunately, because the ‘Code Red‘ star didn’t contribute to the creation of her Brandy-led smash hit cut ‘The Boy is Mine‘, she does not receive any of the money generated by its sales.

However, as her net worth proves, the song’s absence from her bank balance has done little to stop her from becoming one of her genre’s highest-earning stars.

Retro Rewind: Perez Hilton Brawls With Will.i.am

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature launched to unearth some of entertainment’s most surprising moments!

Today, we take a journey to 2009. In that year, after doing his part to elevate Lady GaGa‘s young career to higher ground, Perez Hilton found a fresh enemy in the Black Eyed Peas.

One night, after learning of remarks Hilton had made about the group, its lead vocalists Will.i.am and Fergie approached him and asked him to stop writing about them.

This, much to everyone’s horror, is where things took a turn for the worst.

Twitting? Dip dive? The Jonas Brothers?

How things have changed.

Watch: Iggy Azalea Rocks ‘Fallon’ With ‘Switch’

Iggy Azalea has yet to release the official video for new single ‘Switch’ after am unfinished version hit the net, but that hasn’t stopped her hustle.

The Aussie bred rapstress stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a fierce showing of the ‘Digital Distortion’ offering.

Watch the performance, which also features Brazilian superstar Anitta, below…

Surprisingly solid. Not because Iggy hasn’t proven herself capable in the past (she has); it’s just that she has the tendency to occasionally look bored on stage. Here, however, she showed up and showed out. Kudos.

Ariana Grande To Honour Concert Victims With Benefit Show

Ariana Grande is to honour the love and lives of fans who were murdered at her concert in Manchester with a fundraising show.

She revealed in an official statement:

I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise funds for the victims and their families. There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or make this better.

However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way.

The only thing we can do now is choose how we let this affect us and how we live our lives from here on out.

The compassion, kindness, love strength and oneness that you’ve shown one another this past week is the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull off something as evil as what happened Monday.

YOU are the opposite.

The concert will take place in Manchester and honour the lives of 22 victims who passed away as a result of the heinous act committed by a terrorist with close ties to ISIS.

Mess! 3LW Manager Slams Adrienne Bailon & Naturi Naughton After TV Reunion

While many were warmed by the reunion of former 3LW members Adrienne Bailon and Naturi Naughton yesterday on The Real, one person was far from impressed. Namely the group’s former manager.

Tse Williams, who is also the older sister and former guardian of member Kiely Williams, has hit out at the ladies in a series of heated tweets.

Asserting that she and Kiely are fed up of being defamed, Tse proceeded to throw copious amounts of shade.

See what we mean…

Sure, Tse is entitled to defend herself. However, we’re scratching our heads at her scathing approach. Especially as she’s presently managing a girl-group on the come up (see: Billion Dollar Baby).

Her antics run risk of negatively impacting the band she’s shepherding by way of association.

She crucially also never addressed KFC-gate.

Food for thought. Literally.
