Nia Long & Ime Udoka Split After Alleged Affair: Report

by

Nia Long and Ime Udoka have broken up after spending 13 years together following Udoka’s alleged affair. The former Boston Celtics head coach reportedly had a relationship with a female staffer within the organization. The team suspended him for the incident.

“The situation is unfortunate and painful,” a source told People on Tuesday. “But Nia is focusing on her children and rebuilding her life.”

They added that the couple is “no longer together but remain fully committed to co-parenting their son [Kez].”

Regarding their son, Kez, who is 11 years old, Long recently told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public.”

The Celtics first announced Udoka’s suspension just weeks before the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. In a statement, they cited a violation of “team policies.”

ESPN reported afterward that Udoka had a “role in an intimate relationship with a female member of the franchise’s staff.”

“I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down,” Udoka said in an apology. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision.”

Long added in her own statement: “The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me. I ask that my privacy be respected as I process the recent events. Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children.”

Ye & Kim Kardashian Celebrate Saint West’s Birthday Together

by

Even though Ye has continued to face public scrutiny for his hateful speech, it’s not stopping him from showing up for father duties.

It appears as though the 45-year-old and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian are staying true to their recent divorce settlement as they continue to put their differences aside while they co-parent.

Ye will pay $200,000 in child support each month and 50 percent of any educational costs moving forward. However, the former power couple will share custody of their four children with “equal access” to them. The children are still expected to primarily live with their mother.

Their eldest son, Saint, turned seven on Monday (December 5). The Chicago native reportedly spent several hours at Kardashian’s Hidden Hills home to celebrate alongside the family.

It seems as though the young boy got to ring in his birthday in an incredible way. The social media mogul took her son and some of his friends to the Rams game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday (December 4).

Saint got on-field access and the chance to meet Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Additionally, he happily dove into a football-shaped birthday cake.

Interestingly, Kardashian and her little boy were recently booed while attending a game hosted by the Los Angeles team. Seeing as she’s no stranger to hate, she surprisingly took it all in good stride.

Ye, for his part, has continued to be in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. His streak of dangerous hate speech towards Jewish people is becoming more and more harmful.

In his most recent interview, this time with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, Ye encouraged Jewish people to forgive Hitler. “Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love,” he said.

Read more here about the damage that Ye’s antics are causing and be sure to stay tuned for the latest updates.

Bill Cosby Faces Allegations From 5 Women In New Sexual Assault Lawsuit

by

Bill Cosby is facing another sexual assault lawsuit after five different women have come forward. All of them are accusing the now-embattled comedian of sexual assault while on the set of The Cosby Show.

The plaintiffs – Lili Bernard, Eden Tirl, Jewel Gittens, Jennifer Thompson and Cindra Ladd – were previously a part of the show’s production throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Bill Cosby arrives at the Montgomery County Courthouse on the first day of sentencing in his sexual assault trial on September 24, 2018 in Norristown, Pennsylvania. In April, Cosby was found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004. 60 women have accused the 80 year old entertainer of sexual assault.

TMZ broke the story earlier today (December 6). In the suit, the women claim that Cosby was going to be their mentor. He instead turned into a predator.

Bernard was a guest star in a 1992 episode, in which she played Mrs. Minifield. She claims the 85-year-old drugged and assaulted her several times throughout her time spent on set.

When she threatened to bring his crimes to the police, the alleged victim says he threw her down a flight of stairs. Bernard ended up not reporting anything for fear of her life.

Tirl played the role of a cop on the show. She alleges that she was taken advantage of in a dressing room, with Cosby locking the door behind them.

Gittens claims that she took drugs and went through an assault at the hands of the actor in her own home. At that time, they were planning on discussing a possible role for her on his series.

Thompson alleges that there were pressures forcing her into sexual acts with him. Ladd says she became a victim after passing out from a pill he gave her for a headache.

Cosby was previously serving a 10-year prison sentence for indecent assault. He was surprisingly released last year when prosecutors violated an immunity deal previously given to him by a different attorney.

The father of five and his team markedly continue to deny these allegations and any wrongdoing. However, he has seen accusations of sexual assault from dozens of women over the years.

Cosby’s PR representative, Andrew Wyatt, has told TMZ that these accusers and their claims are not new.

Sacha Baron Cohen Brings Out Borat To Roast Ye, Joe Biden, And U2

by

Sacha Baron Cohen has cemented himself as an icon of Hollywood. While he may have retired his most beloved character from street work, he wasn’t afraid to revive him for a bit at Sunday’s Kennedy Center Honors.

While his purpose at the event was to pay tribute to U2, everyone knows Borat can’t be controlled that easily.

As soon as Cohen’s character took the stage he wasted no time in turning his focus to current events. Firstly, he targeted Joe Biden, who was in the audience.

“I know the president of US and A is here,” Borat said to the crowd. Among them were celebrities such as George Clooney, Amy Grant, and Gladys Knight.

“Where are you, Mr. Trump? You don’t look so good. Where has your glorious big belly gone? And your pretty orange skin has become pale,” the comedian jokingly mistook Biden for the former president, before turning his attention to the first lady.

“But I see you have a new wife. Wa wa weee wa! She is very erotic. I must look away before I get a Bono.”

Cohen made no attempt to hold back on his comedy. Next, he took aim at Kanye West. “Before I proceed, I will say I am very upset about the antisemitism in US and A,” Borat said.

“It not fair. Kazakhstan is number one Jew-crushing nation. Stop stealing our hobby, stop the steal! Stop the steal!”

The entertainer was, of course, referring to the rapper’s recent anti-Semitic posts which got him banned from Twitter. The Kazakhstan character then went on to poke more fun at Ye.

“Your Kanye, he tried to move to Kazakhstan and even changed his name to Kazakhstan-Ye West. But we said no. He’s too anti-semitic, even for us.”

Borat then turned his gaze to U2 and decided to read them a letter from his mother. Written in the Kazakh language, it translated to “Please remove your wretched album from my new iPhone 6.”

This was a reference to when U2 uploaded one of their albums to all iTunes users without their consent.

The actor ended his skit by telling Biden he hoped he liked his speech, with the final remark, “It is my wish to pleasure you with my mouth.”

Keke Palmer Claps Back At Haters Who Attacked Her For Being Makeup-Free

by

Keke Palmer shocked fans everywhere when she announced her pregnancy while hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend. 

But after photos of her and her boyfriend recently made the rounds on social media, the actress clapped back at those who criticized her for not wearing makeup.

Photos of Palmer hugging Darius Jackson at a sporting event recently circulated on Twitter, with the Nope star opting for a bare face and red-rimmed glasses while rocking a green jersey.

The 29-year-old confidently shaded her haters in a series of tweets soon after noticing negative comments about her casual look.

“I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real,” Palmer posted on Twitter earlier today (Dec. 6) “I’m beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like.”

Following up with a second tweet, the Akeelah and the Bee actor then made it clear that she isn’t bothered by the online chatter, writing, “I wish I could bottle how I feel about myself and sell it. Because some people take comments to heart and these ppl just say anything. I mean truly it’s insane to say anyone is ugly, but especially me.”

Palmer has often discussed her issues and insecurities surrounding her skin.

In an Instagram video posted this earlier this year, she wondered out loud why plastic surgeons haven’t found a cure for adult acne. 

“Plastic surgeons, y’all wanna know where the real money at? IN CLEARING UP ACNE.” she captioned the clip, sharing it with her 11 million followers. 

“Enough with all the hard work of having to find the PERFECT diet and trying to get an expensive facial every other day,” Palmer continued. “Give us the plastic surgery we’re begging for, and make it possible for black skin as well… I need the dual love.”

Nelly Slammed Over Resurfaced Videos That Show Him Singing To Young Girls: Watch

by

A number of videos showing Nelly previously singing inappropriately to underage girls on stage have resurfaced. Outrage, backlash and questioning have consequently ensued on social media.

In the clips, the Texas native intimately sings to underage girls on the stage with him. In one, the Country Grammar artist is seen performing his 2004 track “Over and Over” near the child’s face.

He asks if she’s nervous. Afterward, he proceeds to grab some of her hair before serenading her in a highly inappropriate way.

Nelly commits a similar act in a separate video. As the young girl awkwardly stands on stage, he surprisingly twirls her hair and begins to sing to her in a disturbing manner.

The pop-rap hitmaker even attempts to hold the fan’s hand, which is obviously met with uncertainty.

In both videos, the crowd screams and even laughs at the situation ensuing in front of them. It’s unclear at this time why the Dancing with the Stars alum didn’t receive backlash at the time of these concerts.

The videos have resurfaced after Nelly was in the news just this past weekend for a passionate performance with his ex, R&B singer Ashanti.

The couple reunited on stage for Power 98.3 and Power 96.1’s “Under The Mistletoe” concert in Arizona. Their performance of their collaborative 2008 track, “Body On Me” found them trending on social media.

The celebrity couple called their decade-long romance quits in 2014.

Fans were calling for the former couple to rekindle their love, but now Twitter is demanding answers for the 48-year-old’s disgusting behaviour with underage fans on stage.

“OUTRAGED! This shit is insane,” one person wrote. “I know those of you that love and support R. Kelly won’t see anything wrong here, BUT, for the rest of us, why is it okay for a GROWN ass man, NELLY, now to be referred to as R. Nelly, to call an 8-YEAR-OLD girl on stage and sing to her, rubbing [and] all.”

Neither Nelly nor his team have commented on the situation thus far. Make sure to check back in with HNHH for the latest updates.

Margot Robbie Admits She Improvised Brad Pitt Kiss In “Babylon”

by

Margot Robbie says that she improvised a kiss scene in Babylon to sneak in a kiss with her co-star Brad Pitt. Robbie recalled the moment during an interview with E! News on Monday.

“That wasn’t in the script,” Robbie admitted. “But I thought, ‘When else am I gonna get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt? I’m just gonna go for it.’”

So, Robbie spoke with director Damien Chazelle about whether a kiss would be fitting for their characters.

“I said, ‘Damien, I think Nellie would just go up and kiss Jack,’” Robbie recalled. “And Damien was like, ‘Well, she could — wait, hold on. You just wanna kiss Brad Pitt.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, so sue me. This opportunity might never come up again.’ And he was like, ‘It does work for the character,’ and I was like, ‘I think so.’”

Chazelle ended up being on board with the addition: “He was like, ‘No, do it again. That really works.’ I was like, ‘Oh, great.’”

Pitt wasn’t the only celebrity Robbie kissed on set either. She revealed that she also got one in with Katherine Waterston.

“I actually kissed Katherine [Waterston] as well,” Robbie said. “But I don’t know if that made the cut.”

Babylon hits theatres everywhere on December 23. In addition to Robbie and Pitt, the film stars Diego Calva, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Tobey Maguire, and Li Jun Li. The story follows multiple characters during Hollywood’s transition from silent to sound films in the late 1920s.

Check out the trailer for Babylon below.

Elon Musk Announces He Doesn’t Have “Any Suicidal Thoughts” On Twitter

by

While going live on Twitter Spaces, Elon Musk surprisingly answered whether or not he was suicidal. The billionaire shortly stated, “I do not have any suicidal thoughts,” adding, “If I committed suicide it’s not real.”

The Tesla founder also recently discussed possible threats to his safety.

According to the Daily Mail, Musk said, “Frankly, the risk of something bad happening or literally even being shot is quite significant.”

“I’m definitely not going to be doing any open-air car parades, let me put it that way. It’s not that hard to kill me if somebody wanted to, so hopefully they don’t,” he added. “Maybe I should be more worried than I am, but I think generally, if you do right by the people, you have the people on your side.”

Musk reportedly expressed the concerns after his multi-billion dollar buyout of Twitter and subsequent moves as CEO.

After purchasing the social media platform in a $44 billion deal, the South African native received backlash after laying off thousands of Twitter employees.

Musk is also facing scrutiny following the now-viral “Twitter Files.” 

Per CNN, Matt Taibbi, an established journalist, shared the information in a Twitter thread after learning “details about behind-the-scenes discussions on Twitter’s content moderation decision-making, including the call to suppress a 2020 New York Post story about Hunter Biden and his laptop.”

Former president Donald Trump and Kanye West also had their accounts reinstated following Musk’s takeover of Twitter. The entrepreneur tweeted around the same time that Twitter’s new policy includes “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.”

He added, “Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.”

Last week, Kanye West received another suspension from the platform after going on an anti-Semitic rant and posting a swastika on his account.

On the decision to ban the rapper, Musk said in a tweet, “I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.”

Check back in with HNHH for any updates on Musk’s new role as Twitter’s owner.

Future Splurges On $7.5M Bentley-Branded Condo

by

Future is celebrating yet another dominant year as one of the hottest rappers in the game. His latest splurge comes in the form of dropping a $7.5 million bag. The money was spent on a new pad – and it’s Bentley-branded, of course.

King Pluto is allegedly in contract talks to purchase the beachside apartment in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. The unit is part of the up-scale Bentley Residence from Gil Dezer, who is the CEO of Dezer Development.

The 62-story building will be home to 216 units and is set to be completed in 2027. The laundry list of amenities ensures residents that there’s no reason to leave while they’re home. Complete with a three-story lobby with ocean views, a gym, spa, pool, and a whiskey bar, the place is definitely any man’s dream.

Additionally, it comes with a 14-seater movie theater, a cigar lounge and a games room. Clearly, it’s got everything you need.

Of course the “Stick Talk” rapper’s unit is one of the most extravagant in the futuristic building. It features three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, sprawling over 6,000 square feet.

His new home also includes a private pool located on the terrace and a 1,500-square-foot, four-car sky garage that he won’t even need to drive up to his unit.

“The Dezervator [a patented elevator] takes you and your car straight to your unit — you can see the cars from your living room, thanks to a glass divider from the garage,” says Dezer.

The big purchase caps off another busy year for the 39-year old rapper. Previously, he dropped his ninth studio album, I NEVER LIKED YOU back in April. Featuring the hits “WAIT FOR U” and “PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ,” it went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.

The toxicity-inspired project went on to receive gold status, selling over 500,000 units in the U.S. just a month after its release. 2022 also found him being appropriately crowned one of “the best rappers alive” by GQ.

Future Hendrix is fresh off of making four appearances on Metro Boomin’s newly released sophomore album, HEROES & VILLAINS. There are no signs of him slowing down.

Comment below what you think of Future’s new crib.
