Nick Cannon’s Baby Mama LaNisha Cole Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

by

LaNisha Cole, the mother of Nick Cannon’s ninth child Onyx, just shut down rumors that she’s expecting another baby. Moreover, the model and actress criticized fans for jumping down her throat for not posting weight fast enough. She posted to her Instagram story: “No I’m not pregnant again,” on Thursday (February 2). Furthermore, she continued to air out her frustrations. “You guys are so used to SnapBack culture that you can’t let a woman be at peace with not losing her baby weight in a week.” Also, the 40-year-old said her “body is bigger,” but isn’t “in any rush to lose the weight.” She believes “it’ll come off in due time.”

“Until then there’s just more of me to love lol,” she stated cheekily. In addition, she posted a selfie-style video where she’s “thicker in the face” and “thicker in the waist. I haven’t been working out like I used to just because I’ve been busy taking care of the empress and working,” she continued. “As a new mom I have so many other things that are more of a priority for me. Empress Onyx has been ruling my life and I’m ok with it.

“She’s the boss of me,” she concluded. “I’ll work out again when she allows me to.” Furthermore, Cole and Cannon shocked (or mildly surprised) the world when they welcomed Onyx in September of 2022. Upon her birth, the TV host called Cole “one of the most guileless, peaceful and nonconfrontational kind souls.” However, she hasn’t posted anything regarding Cannon since Onyx’s church dedication last October.

Meanwhile, she actually aimed some comments at her baby daddy, apparently. “[Onyx] is incredibly blessed and is surrounded by so much love,” Cole posted. It’s not fake IG photo op love.” Moreover, the media star posted holiday snaps with his other children, co-parented with five other women, just moments before. “Calling me baby mama #538 every time I say the sky is blue is uncalled for and it’s getting old,” she shared days later. Regardless of their status, log back into HNHH for the latest on Nick Cannon’s love life.

Dave Chappelle Comedy Show Interrupted By Fight In Audience

by

He’s not taking any chances regarding his live shows, and it seems Dave Chappelle was faced with another unexpected moment. Despite backlash he’s received over his LGBTQIA+-centered jokes, Chappelle continues to tour and sell out shows. Australian outlets reported on a comedy event in Perth that was interrupted after a brawl broke out in the crowd.

Ironically, Chapelle was on stage delivering the story about being accosted at the Hollywood Bowl when the rumbling in the audience began. It was a moment that could have ruined the night, but attendees reportedly said the comedian handled it with ease. Several audience members tweeted about the incident and praised Chappelle.

“I was most impressed with how quickly he got the crowd back,” one person reportedly said. Another further added, “Dave Chappelle showed me he is the GOAT in Perth tonight and an absolute professional. Shame some bogans in the crowd decided to have a fight half way through his set.” It seems there was some loud swearing, more yelling, and a tussle before the arena staff quickly shut things down. The only reason videos of the fight didn’t make it to the internet is due to Chappelle’s strict no cameras or phones policy.

In May 2022, Chappelle performed for the Netflix is a Joke tour when a man named Isaiah Lee rushed the stage. Lee lunged at the comedian and reportedly had a knife, but his assault was unsuccessful. Later, Lee pleaded no contest to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon and received 270 days in jail. The motive for his attack remains unclear, but it was stated that Lee recorded a song referencing Chappelle.

Since the attack, Chappelle has continued to face pushback against his jokes about the trans community. Netflix employees even staged a walkout to protest his controversial comedy special, but Chappelle has remained unmoved. His supporters have also stood by him as conversations about “Cancel Culture” move forward.

Meagan Good Brought Blonde Bombshell Energy To Amazon’s “Harlem” Season 2 Premiere

by

In the world of celebrity relationships and marriages, breakups and divorces obviously aren’t all that uncommon. While they’re undeniably emotionally tumultuous to navigate, several famous women have been showing us lately that the end of a romance doesn’t mean life isn’t worth living. Among them are Kim Kardashian and Nia Long. Recently, Meagan Good also joined the ranks. She looked absolutely stunning as she graced the pink carpet last night.

The 41-year-old stepped out for the season two premiere of Amazon Prime’s Harlem series. In the show, the California native stars alongside Jerrie Johnson, Grace Byers, and finally, Shoniqua Shandai. The group plays four ambitious best friends navigating life, personal relationships, and career growth.

The show has quickly become a fan favourite on the streamer. Season one previously arrived in December of 2021. To kick off 2023, the latest edition landed on Thursday (February 2).

Along with the episodes making their way onto Prime yesterday, Good also hit the town with her co-stars to celebrate. For her big night out, the Day Shift actress donned an all-white outfit. It was complete with thigh-high snake print boots and a curve-hugging dress complete with several cutouts.

At this time, Meagan hasn’t posted any photos from the event on her own Instagram feed, but those are sure to come later.

Several have already been circulating online thanks to paparazzi snaps, many of which show Good grinning from ear to eat, her toned abs on display beneath her sultry outfit of the night.

Apart from her good looks, Meagan’s divorce from Devon Franklin has also been keeping her name in the headlines over the past year. The couple finalized their settlement in April of last year, and just last month, the actress revealed that Whoopi Goldberg was one of her famous friends who had some advice to offer the starlet.

Read what The View host had to say to Good here, and let us know if you’ll be watching season two of Harlem on Amazon Prime below.

Ari Lennox Shows Off Her Bikini Body In The Shower On Hair Wash Day: Videos

by

While vocalists obviously rise to fame thanks to their musical talent, it’s usually things like thirst traps that help keep their name in the public eye between new releases. The latest singer to catch the internet’s attention with her bikini body is Ari Lennox. She didn’t hesitate to flaunt her figure for followers on hair wash day earlier this week.

On Thursday (February 2), the “Waste My Time” songstress shared a series of videos on her Story that find her standing in the shower. Her toned figure looks incredibly in shape underneath what appears to be a Dior bikini.

“Wash day,” she wrote in the caption,” showing off her natural hair in one clip before soaking it with water in another. Fans are obviously glad to have a sneak peek into Lennox’s day-to-day life. However, what’s really got their attention is her not-so-subtle thirst trap.

@2cool2bl0g reposted one of the videos on their own page, giving users a chance to leave comments. “I love how authentic and beautiful she is,” one person wrote. Another joked, “Let me get ready to get on this treadmill.”

Unfortunately, some of the responses also saw hateful messages being spread around – specifically about Lennox’s natural figure. “I found her more attractive thicker I won’t lie,” someone said. “Still beautiful though.”

In response to the trash talk, one person ranted, “The immaturity in these comments. What’s not good for you, someone else would wife UP in a second and worship the ground she walks on. She’s dope and beautiful.”

The thirst traps on her Instagram Story certainly got fans talking. Still, they don’t hold a candle to the power her voice has been putting out on her age/sex/location tour. Fans are undeniably supportive and showing up for Lennox, but late last year, she made it known that this trip around the nation to perform will be her last.

Doja Cat Rocks A “Pretty Beat” For Instagram So Her Haters Will “Shut The F*ck Up”

by

Her name has been one of the biggest in the industry for the last few years. However, Doja Cat has actually been making music for nearly a decade. In 2014, her Purrr! EP came out after Kemosabe and RCA Records heard her “So High” track. Since then, she’s gone on to release projects like 2019’s Hot Pink and 2021’s Planet Her.

Along with her growth as an artist, we’ve also seen some serious style evolution for the lyricist. She’s also stayed true to herself and embraced her inner uniqueness. Over the past year specifically, we’ve really seen Doja come into her own.

While several of her outfits have been nothing short of eyebrow-raising, the 27-year-old’s bold makeup choices are what’s really got people talking. In fact, when she shaved her own brows and head, it nearly broke the internet in 2022.

Subsequently, Doja filled the blank space on her forehead with all kinds of whimsical designs. Among them were floral prints to ultra-thin, high-arched lines with an adorable heart drawn over her signature mole. Some fans have been loving the creativity the “Say So” songstress is showing. More closed-minded audiences, though, have been quick to criticize her antics.

In her usual fashion, DC let the haters know that their comments can’t get her down. On Thursday (February 2) night, she shared a smiling selfie that finds her sporting a glamorous smokey eye and a blonde balayage wig. “Felt like doing a pretty beat for you boring ass lemon water bitches out there,” she wrote in the caption.

“So you can shut the f*ck up now and leave me the f*ck alone. Ciao,” her caption concluded. Afterward, Doja limited comments on the upload to keep her page a positive space.

Aside from calling out the internet trolls who have made a routine of hating on her unique style, Doja Cat has also been speaking out about music lovers who often discredit her as a rap artist.

“Euphoria” Star Chloe Cherry Accused Of Stealing $28 Blouse

by

She starred in one of HBO’s most successful shows, but that didn’t keep Chloe Cherry out of trouble with the law. The mania surrounding Euphoria thrust its stars into the spotlight, and Cherry found a new level of fame. The former adult entertainment actress was featured in over 200 pornographic films throughout her career, but she set her sights on the mainstream side of Hollywood.

According to Lancaster Online, Cherry was visiting her hometown in Pennsylvania when she was arrested. The outlet stated that Cherry was at Jenny & the Clowder, a space located at Building Character downtown. The actress reportedly took a $28 Moda International blouse into a dressing room but left without the shirt.

Cherry was said to have paid for “other items” but was questioned by an employee. The incident was captured on surveillance footage. Cherry allegedly “admitted to taking the blouse and returned it to an officer,” a complaint reads. Building Character owner Marty Hulse spoke with reporters about Cherry’s theft.

“Most times, when we find people who are shoplifting, we don’t find them in the act,” Hulse said. “They’ll take the tag off of it and throw it somewhere. Then we see the tag, and we can find them on the camera and where it came from, and that’s exactly what happened.”

Hulse and general manager Joel Henry claimed they didn’t know Cherry was a Hollywood star until police reached out to her mother. “I know it sounds piddly, but when it comes down to it, we’re all small businesses,” Hulse also stated. “You’re stealing from your neighbors.” However, Cherry’s rep told TMZ that this theft isn’t what it seems. They allege that the actress never admitted to stealing anything.

“In December, there was confusion over a blouse that wasn’t properly charged to my client’s credit card,” they said. “In no way did she ‘admit’ to taking the blouse, since that was not the case. This story seems to be more about a local store trading on a celebrity’s name more than anything else.”

Reports added that Cherry was allegedly involved in a similar theft in 2015. She is scheduled to face a judge in this case on March 1.

La La Anthony & Jason Lee Discuss His Coverage Of Carmelo Anthony’s Alleged Twins With Another Woman

by

When mistakes are made in the media world, it’s important for them to be upright with those they misrepresented. La La Anthony and Jason Lee spoke about the time that Lee covered news of La La’s ex Carmelo Anthony allegedly fathering twins with another woman. Moreover, Lee spoke about how her words after his story went out really affected him and his view on her story. “Lala Anthony and I talked about the time my team dropped an exclusive that impacted her and her family and how we handled it,” Lee wrote via Instagram. “Often times the ‘messy’ narrative has been painted about me because of the world we report on. Some celebrities choose to participate in the process and others don’t. This is an example of how these type of relationships can work. Thanks @lala for seeing me!”

“The crossroad where I thought ‘La La’s not going to be our friend anymore’ was when I broke that the story about the twins. When you called me, I thought you were about to cuss me out and go Brooklyn. She said to me- I will never forget and this is when I fell in love with you. You said, ‘You gon’ write whatever you gon’ write, and none of that has anything to do with me. Just think about my son when you do that.’ I was like ‘Oh, shit!’ I don’t follow all the stories, because I can’t follow everything. But that one I made sure I stayed on top of to make sure that we handled it delicately. That was some real grown woman mother… Like, ‘I understand you have a job.’ Where does that come from?” Lee asked La La during their conversation.

“Well, one, I want to go back to that,” the 40-year-old replied. “I know I’ve said ‘thank you’ before but I want to thank you again. Anyone in this room will say I’ve told that story to everyone that works with me. What stood out about you to me is that that was a very traumatic experience in my life, a very traumatic experience to my son. Hearing things, whether true or not true. And to be able to have made that call, and you respected what I said and understood that. I’m a mom to a teenager that has to see those things. I always appreciated and respected that.”

“No, of course,” the Hollywood Unlocked reporter said. “Where does that presence come from? I mean I met your mom, she’s amazing. You know, Mom’s ain’t playing, she over there looking at me like ‘Keep them questions cute.’” While everyone in the room laughed, La La’s words honored her mother. “Yeah, probably my mom. My mom is actually super calm, like, I’m the turnt one. My mom is calm. Ma’, don’t you always say ‘I don’t know where you came from’?” Check out the full interview below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on La La Anthony.

Rihanna “Can’t Wait To Kill It” At Super Bowl Halftime Show

by

We’re unsure what Rihanna has in store for her big Super Bowl performance, but a source says she’s been “killing it” in rehearsals. In less than two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off for the NFL title, but it isn’t just the game everyone is talking about. Since it was announced that Rihanna would be this year’s halftime performer, there has been speculation regarding what the show will look like.

It was also rumored that Rihanna was filming her halftime experience for a forthcoming documentary. This would be much like Jennifer Lopez did for her Super Bowl performance or how Beyoncé chronicled her Coachella concert. The upcoming halftime display marks Rihanna’s epic return to the stage after taking time to focus on her other business ventures and motherhood.

For years, Rih’s fans have been begging her to release another album. Instead, she’s mapped her way into billionaire status through her Fenty brand. Additionally, she and boyfriend A$AP Rocky welcomed their baby boy into the world. Further, the reclusive couple has reportedly been soaking up parenthood in all its glory.

“The Batman Part II” Will See Robert Pattinson Return To The Big Screen In 2025

by

Many were initially taken aback by Robert Pattinson landing the lead in the latest reboot of The Batman. Now that they’ve seen what he’s capable of in the suit, though, the world is eagerly awaiting the superhero film’s sequel.

A follow-up to the Matt Reeves-directed project was greenlit last April, and earlier this week, a release date was shared. As Variety reports, the earliest fans can expect to see the Twilight alum back in character alongside Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman will be in late 2025.

The sequel’s synopsis remains under wraps for the time being. However, we do know it’s a part of DC’s new “Elseworlds” category. James Gunn previously announced that any film or television series that doesn’t fall in the main DC Universe will be a part of this realm, similar to their DC Comics section.

Other upcoming projects on the same roster include Joker: Folie à Deux via Todd Phillips. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, that movie is expected to arrive on October 4th, 2024. Additionally, there’s the ongoing animated series, Teen Titans Go! and a separate Superman film written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams.

The latter of the two first made headlines in 2021 and has remained in active development since. At this time, executives are excitedly awaiting the arrival of a screenplay draft to review.

Pattinson and Reeves plan to continue their work with the DC Elseworlds Batman franchise. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t see someone else conquer the role in the DC Universe. Variety notes that a Batman & Robin movie is on the way for that category. It’s specifically based on “The Brave and Bold” comics.

For his part, the director also has another big project on his mind – Colin Farrell’s Penguin character spinoff series. Earlier this month, Reeves confirmed his plans to meet with Gunn to ensure that the “BatVerse” and the larger DC Universe don’t collide. Instead, he hopes the two stories are able to support each other.

Upon its debut, The Batman grossed $770 million worldwide at the box office. It’s currently available for streaming on HBO Max, or on Crave in Canada.

Are you excited for the sequel? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Lil Jon Threatens To Sue Over “Lovers & Friends” Festival: Report

by

Live Nation is about to make an enemy out of Lil Jon. He’s known for his vivacious personality, noticeable adlibs, and fire productions, but a recent report states Jon isn’t happy with the Lovers & Friends Festival promoters. The concert returns in May, and Lil Jon Is upset that the title of his hit track is being used as the festival’s name.

It’s reported that this week, the rapper’s team sent a letter to Live Nation hoping “to reach a financial agreement.”

This allegedly isn’t the first time Lil Jon has attempted to converse with Live Nation representatives. His attorney, Doug Davis, is said to have talked with the company back in May 2022. Additionally, it was “assumed” that Live Nation would do right by Lil Jon. Things didn’t escalate because he was headlining the festival with several famous friends.

However, this time around, there were many artists asked to once again join the line-up—but Lil Jon was left out. Another of the artist’s attorneys compared the situation to having a “Don’t Stop Believin’” festival without Journey.
