The fall-out from the 2018 Grammys seems to be more compelling than the show itself.

Beyond several questionable snubs, one of the main talking points was the lack of female winners at this year’s ceremony. Notably, Alessia Cara was the only female to win an award in a major category.

When quizzed on the matter, Grammy President Neil Portnow made quite the faux pas by saying:

“I think it has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls — who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on the executive level — to step up.”

He continued on with less stinging remarks, but it was too late – the firestorm had begun.

And Pink, who ironically performed as this year’s show, poured the most fuel on the flames.

Los Angeles last night played host to the world premiere of Marvel‘s hotly anticipated blockbuster ‘Black Panther.’

Due in theaters February 16th, the film –  which is anchored by Chadwick Boseman and features a star-studded cast – is tipped to become one of the biggest box office successes of all-time. And that’s just based on pre-sale tickets.

A few weeks remain until the masses will be able to see the movie epic, but its cast offered an elaborate preview of the spectacle ahead at the premiere.

Posing it up on the elaborate purple carpet were the likes of Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Kaluuya, director Ryan Coogler, and Angela Bassett.

Other familiar faces in attendance included Usher, Donald Glover, Janelle Monae, and Yara Shahidi.

In the ninth season of Bravo’s hit show ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Porsha Williams found herself in deep heat when, during an argument with cast mate Kandi Burruss, she revealed that she had heard the acclaimed singer/songwriter had joked about drugging and raping her.

It later emerged that Porsha was fed the lie by her former friend Phaedra Parks and one of the show’s producers. Horrified and embarrassed by the deception, Williams apologised to Burruss for going public with a claim she believed was true.

Alas, her efforts to make amends with Burruss have fallen flat.

Enraged by the way Williams has  been treated by Kandi and her friends?

The show’s fans.

All Porsha did was believe info her best friend told her. Why in the world would she think Phaedra would lie about something like that. When she learned it was a lie, she apologized. You gonna tell me if Carmen told Kandi something she wouldn’t believe her & confront the person?

Don Juan is doing too much about this Porsha situation. A man should never give that much energy to women issues. #RHOA

Efforts the star saw herself during a recent visit to Haiti with the charity.
