Miley Cyrus glimmers in Gold on the cover of Elle Magazine‘s August 2019 issue.

The feature arrives during a busy frame for the singer, who is juggling the push for new EP ‘She Is Coming,’ her stint in Netflix hit ‘Black Mirror,’ and a slew of festival dates across the globe.

Beyond stunning in the Mario Sorrenti lensed shoot, she also opened up about her forthcoming album ‘She Is Miley Cyrus,’ her marriage to Liam Hemsworth, flaunting her sexuality, and more.

“You know who you are without me. I need to know who I am without you”

Angela Bassett teams with Felicity Huffman and Patricia Arquette for new Netflix movie ‘Otherhood.’

Brought to screens by the teams behind the ‘Sex In The City’ movie and ‘Bad Moms,’ the film follows a group of friends who all feel a disconnect from their adult sons.

Looking to remedy the matter, they journey to New York City in a bid to reconnect. Yet, in the process, they one-by-one realize that it’s actually they who are in need of rediscovery of self. Which in turn requires that they redefine their relationships with their offspring, partners, each other, and themselves.

The comedy lands on the streaming service (and select theaters on August 2nd). Before then, check out the first look trailer below… (more…)

‘No Time’ rapstress Lil Kim has taken to Instagram to remind the media she has no time for outlets who don’t ‘put some respect on her name.’

The diva, hot on the promo trail in support of new music and the highly anticipated forthcoming VH1 reality show, ‘Girls Cruise’ (as we reported here), is bringing the jaunt to a screeching halt after she received word some of the very networks set to interview her were wielding disparaging remarks about her.

‘The Jump Off’ rapstress may have briefly jumped on the cases of ‘The Today Show’ and ‘Access Hollywood’ (where she says she was due to appear on July 11), but Andy Cohen – host of Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live‘ – got the worst tongue lashing of all.

As viral moments ago, Mariah Carey is unrivalled.

Indeed, from the “I don’t know her” to the #BottleTopChallenge that took the net by storm this weekend, Mimi certainly knows how to get folk talking.

She’s also no stranger to occasionally going viral for the wrong reasons – case in point her New Year’s Eve 2016 audio malfunction.

In a fresh interview feature with Cosmopolitan (which she covers above), the diva supreme seems to be taking both the good and not so good (of her life more broadly) in her stride.

It may have been nearly 7 years since the last time Waka Flocka Flame saw his name alongside a hit on the Hot 100 as a leading act, but that hasn’t stopped the Atlantan rapper-turned-reality star from hitting out at gay men who’ve given (or plan to give) him compliments in person or on social media.

In a video that went viral earlier this week, the 33-year-old threatened to have gay men literally shot who figuratively shoot their shots at him – flattery the Rap star says is “disrespectful.”  As the video continues to make its rounds, social media users weigh in on the commentary which conveniently surfaced just as Pride month came to a close.

Hear the words from his mouth that caused the uproar:

While industry critics and fans alike are crowning Madonna‘s latest music video, ‘God Control,’ as one of the most prolific of her 35+ year career, some aren’t exactly singing the Queen of Pop’s praises for the visual’s graphic depiction of gun violence.

Designed to advocate for gun control in the U.S., people like Parkland survivor and gun control activist Emma González admit they recognize the Jonas Akerlund-directed clip’s good intention but that hasn’t stopped their criticism.  Branding the video as ‘f*cked up’ and ‘horrible,’ her sentiment echoed that of Pulse nightclub shooting survivor Patience Carter (who labeled the clip ‘traumatic’ and ‘inaccurate’).
