Lauren Jauregui has used her platform to spark a fresh conversation on homophobia and intersectionality.
Intersectionality is a concept often used in critical theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, classism, etc.) are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another.

Colorism, best defined as “prejudice against people of a certain skin tone, especially from members of the same race,” remains a hot topic among many races – especially people of African or Latin descent. As the fire surrounding debates on the issue rage on, music mogul/manager Matthew Knowles adds his two cents to the conversation with his latest book, ‘Racism: From the Eyes of a Child.’
Dropping some jaw-dropping quotable moments throughout the text, Knowles took to our friends at Ebony recently in promotion of the set in an interview that not only highlighted moments of colorism throughout his life, but specifically weighed in on the issue in his own family – namely with ex-wife Tina Knowles and daughter Beyonce.
Admitting that he at one time he only dated White women or women who looked White, he was also sure to emphasize his idea that pop icon daughter’s light skin directly contributes to her fame:
Tamar Braxton is moving on from the melee by shooting a movie!
As reported, the R&B singer’s marriage meltdown played out all sorts of publicly at the end of last year – with arrests and public claims of cheating plaguing the 40-year-old and her estranged husband Vince Herbert.
Now though, Ms. She, Me, Her is putting that behind her and pressing on with her professional endeavours – which includes shooting a new movie.

Bruno Mars has rocked the Super Bowl Halftime Show twice – and on both occasions has been hailed as delivering some of the platform’s most memorable moments.
Unfortunately for fellow performer Justin Timberlake, his showing last night isn’t receiving much love from the masses. Indeed, it’s being panned left, right, and centre.
With the world weighing-in on this Halftime and what’s should come next, Mars is throwing in his two cents.
See what he had to say below…
Fans of ‘Cry Me a River’ singer Justin Timberlake may start doing just that once they see the ratings for his Super Bowl LII Halftime Show, as revealed moments ago.
Just a week ago industry insiders predicted this year’s big game would draw in a noted decline in viewership and now, to the surprise of many, they were right.
Curious to see how the JT’s ratings and the showing overall fared? Details inside:

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on…
Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
An benevolent crew made up of some of the most powerful women in music have penned an open letter condemning remarks made by Neil Portnow.
[Women] who want to be musicians, engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level [need] to step up.
The Grammy chief made the comments after last week’s ceremony saw a number of its female nominees miss out on major wins.
He issued this statement after facing fire.
Sunday night, I was asked a question about the lack of female artist representation in certain categories of this year’s Grammy Awards. Regrettably, I used two words, ‘step up,’ that, when taken out of context, do not convey my beliefs and the point I was trying to make. Our industry must recognize that women who dream of careers in music face barriers that men have never faced.
Today, a group of the industry’s power players have stepped up to slam him.

In any case, Timberlake went on to explain why he opted to tribute Prince during his showing. The latter being something that irked millions the world over.
He also performed ‘Say Something’ with Chris Stapleton and ‘Supplies.’
