Megan Thee Stallion Returns To The Red Carpet For Vanity Fair’s Oscars Party

by

Hot Girl Summer is obviously on its way because Megan Thee Stallion made her first public appearance of the year on Sunday (March 12) evening. We saw the “Freak Nasty” hitmaker quietly step out for her birthday last month, but for the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, she didn’t hesitate to make her presence felt. She wore a sultry, strapless custom Bach Mai black gown with mesh detailing around the cleavage as well as a flirty mermaid skirt.

Her accessories were minimal and elegant – a silver chain around her neck, a few slashy rings, and beautiful dangling earrings. As always, Thee Stallion’s face card proved to be very valid. Her eyeshadow appeared to be a dusky brown look, and her cheeks were perfectly contoured. As for her lips, the 28-year-old’s pout was camera-ready thanks to a dark shade of liner and a pretty pink glossy top coat.

What really stole the show, however, was Megan’s hair, which she left natural in a gorgeous afro. Her curls, in conjunction with the flared bottom of her gorgeous dress, make the rap diva’s silhouette look more full and luscious than ever before. Not only did she pose for photos on the red carpet, but inside the event, we also saw an unexpected link-up between Thee Stallion and Canadian comedian Seth Rogen, who took several snapshots together.

The Texas native’s absence online has certainly been felt in recent months. Following Tory Lanez’s guilty verdict in their long-awaited shooting trial, Thee Stallion understandably took some time to process her trauma and heal in wake of finally being validated. Thankfully, she also announced her upcoming return to the stage this month a few days ago, which has since had her fanbase, Thee Hotties, buzzing.

A Houston Hottie Homecoming

On Friday, March 31, the fashionista will be headlining the AT&T Block Party in her hometown. This marks her first time performing in Houston since 2019’s Astroworld Festival, which came shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic. Lil Nas X will also be taking to the stage at the event, though his set will occur later in the weekend.

2023 SAG Awards Red Carpet: See All The Best-Dressed Celebrities

by

We celebrated some of the best in Black talent during Saturday’s (February 25) NAACP Image Awards. Afterward, the final eve of the weekend found many of the same faces at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The ceremony markedly honours each year’s best in TV and film, as well as the best-dressed on the red carpet. This time, it was Everything Everywhere All At Once, Abbott Elementary, and The White Lotus that came out on top.

The latter series is an HBO Original that previously quickly rose in popularity. It was created by School of Rock actor Mike White. The hit show took home two awards last night. One was for Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic performance as Tanya and another for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series. The moment was undeniably huge for everyone involved. Still, Aubrey Plaza was obviously annoyed during her time on stage for the speech.

Audrey’s Awkward Moment

Following the ceremony, footage of the Parks & Recreation starlet has been making rounds on social media for several reasons. She appears to surprisingly be nearly elbowed and pushed out of the way by many costars on the platform. Surely that would bother anyone, but it was the next interaction that seemed to really set Plaza off.

In the middle of the speech, fellow performer Jon Gries obviously appears to make an upsetting comment. Many believe he told the Delaware native her chest was evidently slipping out of her Michael Kors gown. Immediately after the comment was quietly made, she accordingly adjusts her dress, anger obvious on her face. At various points, Plaza specifically seems to mouth, “Shit’s f*cked… Jesus Christ.”

Aubrey’s outfit certainly didn’t turn out the way she had hoped. Thankfully, other SAG Award patrons had far better luck. Zendaya finally gave fans an incredible serve two nights in a row. Elsewhere, Angela Bassett’s bright yellow gown had her glowing. Keep scrolling to see all our red carpet favourites, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Watch: Michael B Jordan Was Unimpressed by Red Carpet Interview with High School Bully

by
Screen Shot 2023 02 27 at 12.21.05 PM

Approaching the release of the latest Creed film, Michael B Jordan has been engaging in loads of press to promote the March 3rd release date. In a recent interview, the actor stops to chat with old acquaintance and interviewer Lore’l of the Morning Hustle radio show. The red carpet interview quickly took a turn for the worse and it’s all in Jordan’s body language. 

In the interview, Jordan confronts the reporter for her past comments about him– sparking a seriously awkward exchange. 

After Lore’l introduces her and Jordan’s shared attendance at a highschool in Newark, he unexpectedly replies, “”[I was] the corny kid, right?” 

Lore’l laughingly responds, “I did not say that! [I was] misquoted, for sure.” 

Jordan remains unimpressed and says definitively, “I heard it.”

The unpleasant exchange stems from a 2021 episode of the Undressing Room podcast, where her co-host said that Michael seemed like “a nice, corny guy” while discussing his then-relationship with Lori Harvey. 

Lore’l then responded, “You know what’s so crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life. And to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, and he was no Michael Jordan. And he also would come to school with a headshot. We lived in Newark, that’s the hood. We would make fun of him like, ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?’ And now look at him!”

Jordan was not feeling her energy in the slightest even though she continued to deny calling him corny, despite making fun of his name before changing the subject completely. “But yeah, he is obviously killing things out here,” she says. Wrapping up the interview she ensured he is “not corny anymore,” which Jordan brushes off before walking away. He definitely took her past comments personally and was not ready to come with any fake energy. 

The full interview is below.

NAACP Image Awards Red Carpet: Zendaya Slays In Vintage Versace

by

Some of the biggest award ceremonies of the year have already gone down, including the Grammys and the BRITs. Thankfully, there are still plenty of red carpet looks coming our way with the Oscars quickly approaching and tonight’s SAG Awards. On Saturday (February 25), Hollywood was a busy place as well, thanks to the annual NAACP Image Awards.

Hosted by Queen Latifah, this year’s ceremony paid tribute to some of the greatest Black talents in the industry. Athlete Serena Williams was honoured with the Jackie Robinson Sports Award. Elsewhere, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union gave a heartfelt speech after receiving the President’s Award. The show itself was undeniably heartwarming, but what really had viewers talking was the red carpet.

Zendaya’s Iconic Red Carpet Return

Each and every attendee stepped out in their best-dressed, but one rose above them all to steal the show – Zendaya. For her first carpet of the season, the Euphoria actress broke necks in her stunning vintage Versace gown. Bright electric green strips of fabric draw in the eye on her chest and throughout the skirt, reminding fans how refined her style truly is.

Of course, she couldn’t spend the evening sporting just one dress. When it was time for her to take the stage inside, Zendaya had changed into another throwback piece – a decades-old Prada look that found her channelling supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri. Both looks, styled by Law Roach, clearly have social media in a chokehold today.

Keep scrolling for an overview of our favourite looks from this weekend’s NAACP Image Awards. Afterwards, let us know who you think had the best red-carpet fashion in the comments. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture updates on all your favourite celebrities.

Dominique Da Diva Says Nick Cannon Is Corny Too After Michael B. Jordan

by

Dominique Da Dive recently doubled down on her comments about Michael B. Jordan being corny and even threw Nick Cannon into the fold. Moreover, her stance comes after Jordan accused her podcast co-host Lore’l of calling him corny instead. While Lore’l actually spoke on their time together in school and not about his corniness, there was some miscommunication in the two years since that episode aired. Regardless, Da Diva stood by her assessment, even though she said that it’s not all that negative.

“The blogs only post half bulls**t,” she wrote on her Instagram story with some laughing emojis. “They mad at Lore’l when it was me who called him corny.” In another story post, she elaborated on her stance. “Any black man that dates white women is corny to me. I guess that PR relationship w/ Lori helped y’all forget but I didn’t.” Yet again, she added yet another slide to her story to really hammer things home. “Anything I said once I’ll say it again. Nick Cannon is corny too- he got mad women babies and money.

Dominique Da Diva Compares Nick Cannon & Michael B. Jordan

“I thought we were all doing out ‘Ciara Prayer’ for a nice corny Russell Wilson to save us from these toxic n***as?” she continued. “No? Corny ain’t bad. That’s 70% of the n***as in this industry. Let’s see how y’all act when he brings his next white girlfriend with him on the red carpet, toodles.” To be fair, sources close to Jordan did dismiss claims that he was dating British model Amber Jepson, so that last assessment remains to be seen. Still, it doesn’t matter much at the end of the day, as it’s his life to live. Moreover, fans are incredibly excited for both the Creed III film and its Dreamville-led soundtrack.

Meanwhile on Nick Cannon’s end, the father of 12 recently said that any future babies are in the hands of God. “God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full,” he told Entertainment Tonight in an interview. “And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might [have more].” Regardless of whether you agree with Dominique, log back into HNHH for the latest on Michael B. Jordan, Nick Cannon, and more celebrity antics.

Da Brat’s Baby Bump Stole The Show On The “Creed III” Premiere Red Carpet

by

Just a few days ago, Da Brat shocked her fanbase with news of her pregnancy at 48 years old. She and her wife Jesseca Dupart are obviously very excited about the new development, and it wasn’t long after the initial announcement that the rapper’s bump made its big debut. As DailyMail reports, it was the Creed III premiere in Atlanta on Thursday (February 23), that saw the expecting couple showing off their baby-to-be.

When sharing the big news with PEOPLE, the Chicago-born lyricist spoke candidly about her past miscarriage and IVF journey. “I never thought I was going to have kids. I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me,” she previously explained. “I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”

When she met her future wife, however, is when Da Brat began to change her perspective. “I started looking at life so differently. I was like, I want a little me with you. Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally,’” she told the outlet. During Thursday’s premiere, the love between the LGBTQ couple was obvious.

They donned matching army green bomber jackets, layering different black shirts underneath. While Dupart’s pants perfectly match her upper half, the “Ghetto Love” hitmaker switched things up with a pair of camouflage bottoms. While paparazzi snapped their photos on the Creed III red carpet, Da Brat kept one hand on her 18-week bump, reminding the world how proud she is of her mini miracle.

Creed III is Coming

During this month’s Super Bowl, the latest trailer for the Michael B. Jordan-directed feature arrived. Fans are anxiously waiting for the official release in theatres early next month, as well as the Dreamville-executive produced soundtrack that’s set to drop on the same day. So far, we’ve heard JID and Lute on “Ma Boy,” as well as Bas, Black Sherif, and Kel-P on “Blood, Sweat & Tears” more recently.

Jordan was also in attendance at Thursday’s premiere, and he didn’t hesitate to stir the pot by calling out an interviewer on the red carpet. In a clip that’s making rounds online, the actor calls the journalist out for allegedly calling him “corny” in high school, earning him a shocked and embarrassed reaction. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Make Red Carpet Debut

by

Lori Harvey and Damson Idris made their red carpet debut at the season 6 premiere of Snowfall on Wednesday. Idris stars as Franklin Saint in the FX drama. In photos taken from the event, the two can be seen laughing their way down the red carpet. They also reportedly attended an afterparty later in the night. Harvey rocked a black one-shoulder gown while Idris went with a matching black suit.

Harvey and Idris have been rumored to be dating since December when they were spotted grabbing dinner in Los Angeles. Idris later shared a photo of himself kissing Harvey on the cheek on Instagram. Harvey reposted it with several heart emojis. Idris also attended Harvey’s 26th birthday with numerous other celebrities, including Kendall Jenner, Justine Skye, Hailey Bieber, and Daniel Kaluuya.

Days before the red carpet appearance, the two celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together as a couple. Harvey shared a message Idris penned for her in honor of the holiday on social media. “I realized it has been exactly 100 days since your beautiful silver dress. Thank God for that dance,” Idris wrote. “Every day since with you by my side has been my favorite movie. I can’t wait till we hit 1,000 months. Happy Valentine’s Day baby. I love you.” Idris was referencing the dress Harvey wore to Odell Beckham Jr.’s birthday party in November, which he also attended.

Before Idris, Harvey was romantically linked to Michael B. Jordan. The two dated from November 2020 through June 2022. A source for PEOPLE explained the split at the time saying, “Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other.”

Cardi B & Offset Make Out In Steamy Display During Pre-Grammy’s Gala Red Carpet: Video

by

Leave it to Cardi B and Offset to cause a stir on the red carpet. Thankfully, the pair weren’t fighting or starting drama with any of the other stars around them. Rather, they were turning up the heat within their own relationship by sharing an ultra-steamy French kiss at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys gala on Saturday (February 4) night.

In a clip that’s been circulating on social media, the lovers romantically embrace while cameras behind them snap away. The Migos rapper keeps both hands firmly planted on his wife’s behind. In return, she wraps her glove-covered fingers around his face. In the background, others loudly cheer as the stars make out like teenagers.

While they’ve had their issues in the past (some of which found Cardi filing for divorce), Offset and his wife seem happier than ever now. They presently share two children – Kulture and Wave – together. As it turns out, the Atlanta-based rhymer knew long before their birth that he wanted his partner to have his offspring.

During a past interview with Essence, the Invasion of Privacy artist recalled another steamy makeout sesh that previously found them discussing the possibility of starting a family together. “We were making out and he was like, ‘You’re going to have my baby one day,’” she told the outlet. “I was like, ‘We ain’t having no baby. You have to marry me,’ and he was like, ‘Alright, let’s get married.’”

Afterward, the couple went on to exchange vows in their home bedroom. “I was like, ‘Let’s just get married then. You said you wanted to marry me.’ And we did,” Cardi explained. The titles of husband and wife look undeniably great on the happy couple, who will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary later this year, in September.

Ahead of this evening’s grand event, more details about the show are coming out. The nominees, presenters, and performers were obviously all revealed some time ago, but now, the seating chart is being teased on social media as well, and it’s sure to make for some interesting conversations.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z will be sitting together, as expected. However, we’ll also see pairs like Lizzo and Adele plus John Legend and Cardi B. See the 2023 Grammys floor plan for yourself here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

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.
