Lizzo Spreads Love From Shibuya Amid Drama With Former Dancers

Lizzo has previously broken the internet with her thirst traps on numerous occasions, but just a few weeks ago, it was unfortunately bad news that got the Special singer trending. A group of her former dancers launched a lawsuit against the Detroit native, specifically accusing her of creating a hostile work environment, as well as body shaming them. There were three women sharing their stories at first, but since then, the number has only grown. Their attorney has hinted at the case perhaps going to court in the future, though Lizzo seems focused on staying out of the drama and focusing on positivity.

As she awaits news of what’s happening next with her ex-employees, the multi-talent is spending some time overseas before summer comes to an end. According to her first Instagram post since her statement addressing the allegations, Lizzo is sending us love from Shibuya. On Friday (August 18), her feed lit up with a video reel showing off some of her favourite moments from her time in Japan.

Lizzo is Big in Japan

Never one to avoid standing out, Lizzo donned a vibrant yellow, blue, and green two-piece set to explore the city. The fabric’s texture left her looking comparable to a bug or sea creature, but still fabulous, nonetheless. She wore her light brown hair in messy space buns and shielded her eyes from the cameras flashing at her with oversized shades. The 35-year-old appears to be as happy as one can be under the circumstances, bringing much relief to those supporting her through this time.

Earlier in the week, those who chose to remain a part of Lizzo’s dance team shared a statement of solidarity with the “Truth Hurts” singer. “Thank you to Lizzo for shattering limitations and kicking in the doorway for the Big Grrrl & Big Boiii dancers to do what we love!” they wrote. Read what else the entertainers had to say about working with the embattled activist at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Khloe Kardashian’s Platinum Blonde Hair & Red Lips Make Her Almost Unrecognizable

Of the five Kardashian-Jenner sisters, the one we’ve seen changing up their look arguably the most dramatically since first rising to fame is Khloe. The mother of two has dedicated herself to a healthy lifestyle, resulting in serious weight loss – not to mention the evolution of her personal style. Another thing the Californian has had plenty of fun switching up over the years is her hair. She initially came up with dark brown hair, similar to her older siblings, Kim and Kourtney.

Due to her green eyes, however, Khloe realized that she has the ability to pull off lighter-coloured tresses too, and has been doing so for several years now. Whether she cuts it into a blunt bob or adds extensions for a more voluminous look, the Revenge Body star’s locks are always looking on point. As of late, she’s been rocking a nearly-white blonde and the red lipstick she applied before taking new selfies earlier this week has Kardashian looking brand new.

Khloe Kardashian Switches Up Her Look Again

On Thursday (August 17), she gave us three IG uploads. The first shows the 39-year-old sipping wine in a beautiful red and white floral dress from Dolce & Gabbana. Her figure looks clearly chiselled, and because of the oversized black sunnies she’s wearing, several followers had to do a double take.

“I didn’t know who this was at first, I had to look at the name,” one of that post’s most-liked comments reads. In the second post of the day, Kardashian smized for the camera in the same outfit. Her flashy rings caught the attention of fans in the comments, as well as her perfect French manicure.

Nicki Minaj Flaunts New “Queen Sleeze” Chain While Prepping For “Pink Friday 2”

Despite the fact she hasn’t given The Barbz an album since 2018, Nicki Minaj remains a dominant force in the world of hip-hop. Since 2022 she’s been sharing collaborative efforts with Coi Leray, Lil Baby, Fivio Foreign, Ice Spice, and many others. On top of that, her solo efforts “Super Freaky Girl” and “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” have both gone on to achieve mass success on streaming. A few weeks back, the mother of one confirmed that her Pink Friday 2 LP will be arriving this fall, and since then, she’s been in full-time Queen of Rap mode making sure it’s ready for the world on time.

As HipHopDX reports, Minaj hit a major Spotify milestone earlier this week. According to a tweet from @chartdata, she’s now officially the first female rapper to surpass 65 million monthly listeners in the music platform’s history. The news is definitely celebration worthy, and not long after it came out, the Trinidadian was on her IG Story showing off a flashy new chain that’s surely helping Nicki commemorate her latest accolade.

Nicki Minaj Cements Her “Queen Sleeze” Status

In a brief video soundtracked to her “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)”-sampling single, Minaj showcases her “Queen Sleeze” pendant, made of both normal and pink diamonds. It’s currently unclear how much the fashionista paid for the newest piece in her jewelry collection, but what she makes from her upcoming drop and tour will likely bring her enough money to buy dozens of more braggadocios accessories.

As the official release date for Pink Friday 2 nears closer, Nicki Minaj has been spilling some secrets about the long-awaited album. Earlier this week she teased some unique sounds that we can expect to hear when her project drops in the fall on Live. Since then, she’s also shut down internet speculation that she’s sampling a Tupac hit. Read everything Minaj had to say about that gossip at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Pharrell Speaks On Being Shocked By Louis Vuitton Appointment

Pharrell is currently the lead designer over at Louis Vuitton, which is a huge accomplishment. Of course, he takes over from the likes of Virgil Abloh, who was an absolute legend. From Off-White to Louis Vuitton, Abloh made a massive impact on the fashion world. Overall, he remains a revered designer whose influence will never go away. That said, some were surprised that Pharrell got the job at Louis Vuitton. However, he has been making the most of it and has already come through with his very first collection.

Recently, Pharrell spoke about his role with Louis Vuitton and how he was just as surprised as everyone else about the appointment. He describes a conversation with LV CEO Pietro Beccari who was aggressive in offering him the role. Regardless, he was happy to accept. “It wasn’t an interview or anything,” Pharrell explained. “It was like, ‘Will you accept this position? Will you accept this appointment?’ I’m looking at the water and I’m just like, ‘What?’”

However, Pharrell did not that he was surprised Nigo wasn’t given a chance. “I’ve been championing him for a minute,” Williams revealed. “And whenever me and Alexandre [Arnault] talk about LV, we would always just talk about different people. I’ve always been in the background, just advising. I never thought that it would be me.”

Overall, it is going to be interesting to witness Pharrell’s journey in this new role. We cannot wait to see what he produces in the future. Let us know your thoughts on his work with Louis Vuitton, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the fashion and music industries.

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Baecation In Beautiful Mexico

From what we’ve seen on her Instagram feed, Lori Harvey has had an incredible 2023 so far. She recently launched her Yevrah swimwear line and continues to promote her skincare products. Elsewhere, she and Damson Idris have already been on multiple baecations. Of course, the pair is forced to spend lengthy periods of time apart due to their busy careers. Making time to travel through the tropics together is likely what keeps their bond so strong.

Their latest adventure has taken the actor and model to beautiful Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. On Monday (August 14), Harvey shared a photo dump highlighting some of her favourite memories from her time down south. She kicked things off with a classic beachside snap, relaxing on a chair with a beverage in hand. The Memphis native also showed off the stunning views she encountered during her stay, as well as her perfectly toned figure in several of her Yevrah designs.

Mid-way through her IG carousel we finally see Idris, who looks comfortable as ever with his arm wrapped around his girl. While he toasts the camera with a glass of red wine, she pulls a duck face and sticks up her middle finger. It seems their Mexico getaway featured plenty of delicious food and drinks, fashion-forward moments, and spectacular sunsets spent frolicking by the water in their swimsuits. It’s unclear where Harvey and Idris well get off to next, but we certainly can’t wait to see the photos that come from their trip.

Lori Harvey has been linked to no shortage of famous figures in the industry since she first became a household name. Arguably the most high-profile relationships she’s had have been with Future and Michael B. Jordan, however, Damson Idris has been in her life much longer than many anticipated they would last.

Britney Spears’ Stripper Pole Video Earns Her Hilarious Nickname From Plies

There’s no one doing it quite like Britney Spears. The years since the “Womanzier” hitmaker regained freedom from her conservatorship have seen plenty of ups and downs, but through it all, she’s been consistent with one thing – dancing. Seeing as she’s been in the industry for most of her life, it’s no surprise that performing brings Spears a sense of comfort. She has a habit of sharing videos on Instagram that show her grooving along to both popular new releases and throwback hits. The pop sensation is often scantily clad in these videos, and this past weekend, we saw one of her most provocative clips to date.

Spears boldly added a stripper pole to her usual set-up, spinning around on it in a tiny leopard-print bikini while “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails blasts in the background. Seeing as Plies has been hyping the former child star up for the past few weeks, we’ve been anticipating his reaction to Brit’s antics. Thankfully, they arrived on Monday (August 14) afternoon, and were just as entertaining as we expected them to be. “There she go!” the rapper squealed with delight while showing off his favourite girl.

Plies Loves Him Some Britney Spears

“Wahoo! There she go! Oh ho! That muthaf**ka look like Diamond from ‘The Players Club’! Look!” he added, referring to LisaRay McCoy’s character from the 1998 film. “My white diamond! Come on, white diamond! Whoo hoo! Throw that little pw**sy! Throw that little pw**sy, Brit! Brit! You know what I’m waitin’ on, Brit! Brit! Go to pound town, Brit!” When Spears makes his dreams come true by spreading her legs in front of the camera, Plies drops his phone out of sheer excitement, making viewers of his post laugh along with him.

When she’s not busy entertaining Plies and the rest of the world with her dance moves, Britney Spears fans have been happy to see her back in the studio. She most recently reconnected with Will.i.am for “Mind Your Business.” Tap into that at the link below if you didn’t last month, and come back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Coco Austin Does Lil Kim’s Squat Pose In Bold Bikini Pics To Promote OnlyFans

No matter how Coco Austin chooses to live her life, the bodacious blonde is faced with near-constant criticism. Because she’s an OnlyFans model, Ice-T’s wife regularly shows off her hourglass figure on social media, encouraging followers to come to subscribe to her NSFW page to see even more salacious content for a monthly fee. There are also those playing the role of the parenting police, finding various flaws in the ways that Coco opts to parent her young daughter, Chanel.

At this point in her career, the 44-year-old has a pretty good idea of how to handle the hate. Thankfully, her partner is a professional at clapping back at people criticizing Coco under her photos. On Monday (August 14), Coco returned to Instagram to show off her pretty pink, purple, and blue bikini while enjoying the final few weeks of summertime sunshine. The first photo finds the content creator squatting spread eagle, much like Lil Kim previously popularized, earning her some disrespectful replies to her post.

Coco Austin is Soaking Up the Last of Summer

“I’m happy I grew up in the days where moms didn’t show their camel toe for the whole internet,” one person attempted to throw shade at Austin. “I’m not sure how you got a husband. Most men do not want a man to sexualize their wife,” another chimed in. Seeing as Ne-Yo shared not so long ago that Ice-T once allowed him to spank Coco’s behind upon meeting her, the fact that he supports her career as an adult model isn’t entirely surprising, and her revealing photos don’t seem likely to break them up anytime soon.

Coco Austin isn’t the only celebrity we’ve seen pay homage to Lil Kim this Leo season. In late July, GloRilla posted up in a sexy silver outfit, popping a squat in front of the camera and leaving little to the imagination. See those photos at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ciara’s Maternity Style Takes Clear Notes From Rihanna: Photos

Maternity style has undeniably come a long way over the years. Gone are the days of women covering every inch of their bodies, even in the extreme summer heat, simply to keep others comfortable. Thanks to fashion pioneers like Rihanna, the fairer sex has been taking a new approach to the way they dress while going through pregnancy. We’ve notably seen it with Summer Walker and Jhene Aiko over the past few years. After announcing her fourth pregnancy earlier this month, so is Ciara. As Page Six notes, on Monday (August 14), the Atlanta-based entertainer showed off an adorable Y2K-inspired outfit. It left her baby bump – and her fun-loving personality – on full display.

“CiCi Mama 🙈☎,” the “Jump” hitmaker wrote in her caption. Her photo dump begins with a snapshot of her pretending to answer a vintage, red lip-shaped phone. Ciara’s black and blonde hair was styled in two messy ponytails atop her head. She also layered an abundance of necklaces over her chest. Covering her upper half was a groovy, pink and orange knit sweatshirt. She was brave enough to don baggy jeans in the August heat with a gothic pair of spike-clad boots.

Since Ciara first confirmed the exciting news of her family’s expansion, plenty of jokes have been cracked at her husband, Russell Wilson’s expense. The love that the dancer and NFL player have for one another is obvious, and the way they parent their children, Sienna and Win, as well as the expecting mother’s firstborn, Future, together is admirable. “Russell be having a time of his life with CiCi 😍😂 and I’m here for it!!!” one IG user teased the lovers in the comments.

Kim Kardashian’s Golden Bikini Photo Dump Reminds Us She’s The Prize

This month marks the one-year anniversary of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s breakup after just seven months together. Their unexpected fling began amid the mother of four finalizing her divorce proceedings with Kanye West, though it seemed to only lengthen to process due to the rapper’s averse reaction to the new couple. While Davidson has since moved on to his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders and focusing on his mental health, Kardashian has stayed single.

We’ve heard rumours about her and Tom Brady getting friendly, however, we now know he’s dating Irina Shayk. The KUWTK alum has made it known that she’s feeling ready to put herself back into the dating world in recent months. In the past, her type has mostly been recording artists and athletes, but this time around, Kardashian has said she wants someone with a career outside of Hollywood. While she awaits Mr. Right, the California native has been notably turning up the heat on Instagram.

Rather, she modelled her flirtatious swimsuit standing knee-deep in the water and relaxing by the pool before riding off into the night on a bike.

Kim Kardashian may have distanced herself from Kanye West following their divorce, but she’s been spending no shortage of time with other rappers lately. First, there was her night out with her little sister Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny at Drizzy’s concert. earlier this month. Elsewhere, she and Khloe Kardashian ran into another Canadian lyricist who they happily took a selfie with.
