Check out Rihanna!

Ever the provocateur, RiRi covers the summer 2019 issue of Interview Magazine in a striking mask.

Make no mistake, though. There’s no hiding from Ms. Fenty these days.

She’s making a splash in many an arena, from beauty to music to fashion – most recently launching her Fenty fashion house under the luxury umbrella of LVMH.

Still, it goes without saying that new music is what fans are thirsting for most. And in her sit-down chat with actress  Sarah Paulson, the Bajan belle opens up about where she is in the process of piecing together the follow-up to 2016’s ‘ANTI.’

Taraji P. Henson and Ellen Pompeo sat down for an insightful ‘Actors on Actors’ chat and surprised viewers in more ways than one.

For, their talk saw Pompeo reveal that she hated working on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ because of the wild and truly unruly behaviour she says a number of its cast and crew displayed off-camera.

#MySleeptweet You see, this is how “yellow journalism” works. @VanityFair needs to keep my name out of this. You gone be dirty? Why don’t you ask Ellen Pompeo how she was paid “hush money” to protect Patrick Dempsey and HIS “toxic behavior”. THIS: https://t.co/r27TS0emnL

The latest season of ‘Black Mirror’ found its way to Netflix this week and has been met with generally positive reviews from the millions who call themselves fans.

Unfortunately, the wave of outstanding reviews it has earned finds itself forced to compete with rising criticism surrounding the episode ‘Striking Vipers’ which stars Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Worst season they keep trying to play black people with this gay agenda shit

Queen of Pop Madonna is royally under fire from critics – this time from sexual abuse victims and their supporters for what many are calling an ‘exaggerated use of analogies’ to rape.

Earlier this week the 60-year-old diva made headlines for a feature in the ‘New York Times’ magazine that saw her reflect over her illustrious career, including a recount of the leak of her 2015 album, ‘Rebel Heart’ (click here to read it).  To describe the helplessness she felt at the time, she likened the experience to being raped.

Now, just days after its publishing, she’s taken to Instagram to slam the publication and the very interviewer (Vanessa Grigoriadis) who wrote the article and claims…you guessed it…the experience with the journalist made her feel raped.

Ay yi yi!  More inside:

Madonna is hot on the press run for new album ‘Madame X’ and shows no signs of cooling on her outspoken nature.

The Pop royal appears on the cover of The New York Times Magazine ahead of the June 14th release of her LP. And while the image makes for a striking shot, it’s the inner-pages that were most reverberating.

For, in gearing up for this project, Madge waxed honest about the issues she faced with her last LP ‘Rebel Heart.’ Released in 2015, the set was plagued by leaks and went on to underperform.

Her take on the matter? See below…

With a slew of new projects on the slate, Ja Rule and Irv Gotti stopped by The Breakfast Club today for a candid conversation.

Chopping it up with DJ Envy and Angela Yee, the pair opened up about their children roping them into reality TV via ‘Growing Up Hip-Hop.’ Gotti also talked BET series ‘Tales’ and teased a unique Kanye West tie-in.

Perhaps most notable, though, was Ja’s head-on addressing of the drama surrounding the now infamous Fyre Festival. And he didn’t hold back.

Ava DuVernay‘s ‘When They See Us’ is spelling trouble for the villains who falsely accused five black and brown boys of raping a jogger as she made her way through Central Park.

Today, after forcing Linda Fairstein into hiding, viewers have set their sights on Michael Sheehan…one of her colleagues who also behind the supposed conspiracy to frame the teens for a crime they did not commit.

That 41 million isn’t enough. Linda Fairstein, Michael Sheehan, Robert Morgenthau, Tim Clements, Elizabeth Lederer, and Eric Reynolds deserve to be punished for obstructing the 14th amendment, which outlaws coercive questioning by law enforcement. #letshavetheconversation

Basketball fans who tuned in for tonight’s NBA Finals to see the Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors didn’t know they’d be treated to a pre-show battle of sorts as viewers at home took to Twitter to weigh in on if Grammy winners Alessia Cara or Fantasia delivered the more rousing rendition of their respective home countries’ national anthems.

Fannie kicked off the ceremony with a stirring interpretation of the ‘Star Spangled Banner,’ almost taking onlookers to church by its fiery end.   Cara, who had the home field advantage as the game was held at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, had the crowd singing in unison as she extended the mic out to encourage them to assist her cute version of  ‘O, Canada.’

The respective renditions ignited debate on who was better.  Polls revealed Canadian viewers said Cara left Fannie in the dust.  Watch both inside and weigh in:
