Ever wonder what happens when two fabulous fashion icons sit down and chat it up? Well, wonder no more.
Lupita Nyong’o easily became of Hollywood's fashion It Girls this year after continuously, and basically effortless, donning the red carpets looking runway fresh.
Lupita's been praised not only for her impeccable fashion, but also for breaking down barriers and providing inspiration for young girls everywhere. She revealed at the Essence’s Black Women In Hollywood luncheon back in February, that she became comfortable in her skin thanks to supermodel Alek Wek. Now, People has brought the two face to face to discuss their flawlessness over tea.
Producer, rapper, and art connoisseur, Swizz Beatz, shared some impressive news with his Instagram followers. Swizzy is headed off to the Ivy Leagues, ya'll! His screenshot showed what looks like an acceptance text to Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management Program.
This Harvard program is similar to the one attended by model Tyra Banks. Tyra received a lot of criticism for saying she was graduated from Harvard Business school, since the program she was in wasn't the actual business school, but a non-degree extension program. She didn't receive a degree, but she did get a certificate of completion.
Whatever, Harvard is Harvard. Not many people can say they've gotten a letter from Harvard, much less a certificate.
Eva Marcille Files Restraining Order Against Kevin McCall
Let the photos from Instagram tell it, you'd think model Eva Marcille and her boyfriend R&B singer Kevin McCall had the perfect little family. The couple are always all smiles surrounded by their adorable baby Marley. However, photos don't capture everything.
According to TMZ, Eva filed a restraining order against rapper McCall on March 28th, after he chased her during an argument, trying to take their 2-month-old daughter. Kevin apparently also kicked down 4 doors and even threatened to hit her.
But by April 4, the two were back together posing for Instagram with the caption #familyfirst. Hope they can figure everything out for the sake of that beautiful baby.

2 Chainz Allegedly Being Sue By "#IsThisYoTHOT" Star Tina
2 Chainz is not here for the groupie foolery. Just ask Tina, aka Luvtinaa, who was on the receiving end of some full fledge clowning courtesy of Mr. HairWeaveKiller.
It all happened after Tina was allowed backstage due to a case of mistaken identity. (Security thought she was someone else named "Teena.") Anyways, once she got backstage access she claimed she was there to see 2 Chainz' tourmate Cap-1, whom she follows on Instagram -- but bafflingly can't recognize in person. From there 2 Chainz and his crew commenced to clowning Tina and documenting the embarrassment on footage they titled, "#IsThisYoThot", which you can peep here.
After being slandered in the viral video, media outlets, and by the general public, Tina is now threatening to sue 2 Chainz for the damage to her image. She posted a picture of 2 Chainz followed by the caption:
What you did to me was not right you lanky lizard@hairweavekiller wait until my lawyers takes care of this, how's that for a thot, I mean thought!?
She also posted a picture of her allegedly finalizing papers for her civil lawsuit with her lawyer.
You knew you were being filmed, yet you stayed there and let them continue to humiliate you? Girl bye, you brought that on yourself.
With only 3-months left on her 8-year jail sentence, Reminisce Smith, better known as rapper Remy Ma, is already plotting her comeback. The former Terror Squad signee spoke with Billboard on what prison has taught her, reality TV possibilities, and what she's got brewing. Oh, and wanting to get her back blown out by Papoose.
Check out the interview highlights below.
Incarceration (2008-2014)
You can’t believe everything that people say about someone. I’m a strong believer that things happen for a reason. I’m not the type of person to bring someone down to save myself. I’m always one to take one for the team. Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself to make sure everything else is right. At first when I went through what I went through, people said, ‘Whey didn’t you work out a deal?’ I never took the stand. I let people say what they wanted to say, and I just took the decision. That’s the person I am.
When She Gets Out…
I’m going to get my hair done. I’m going to get my nails done. [Laughs] People see me as this rough tomboy. I’m a girly girl. And I’m married! I’m over here married, without my nails done. I’m going to get dolled up. I’ll then knock out a few things [and] lay down some melodies. I’ve written a lot down but I haven’t been producing so I just write and listen to the radio. I think that if I get in to the studio with some of these guys that are out – like Rico Love and DJ Mustard – I’m going to get so lit. [Laughs]
After I get dolled up and lay down some records and my voice is out, I want to get away and get my back blown out for like a week. Mess up the hair and make-up that I got done. I have been in prison for a while. [Laughs]
I have so much material that I’ve been working on and so many topics I want to touch on. I’ve grown so much as a woman and as an individual. I know that I can bring something to the table that’s missing. I don’t hear the things that I want to say or have experienced; I don’t hear it in the music that’s out.
I’m writing about my own stories but also the stories of the people I’ve come across while in prison. I’m not in jail, I’m in prison. You’d be surprised as to how many women come through here and what they’ve experienced. I’ve encountered people from all over the world. I’ve always rapped about my struggle and living a hard life but there’s a lot of things that are serious, like gang issues, immigration issues, domestic violence issues… There’s some women in here, 18-year-olds with ambition, who may never see the light of day. I thought I had a hard life, but I’ve now experienced a whole different world. It’s serious. I’m going to put it in my music.
Pending Reality Show
That’s when reality shows weren’t as ratchet as they are now. I’ve been getting some calls about it but I’m like, ‘I’m good.’ I am going to be honest, I’m scared of reality TV. That’s one thing that’s not on my list to do when I get out. Once I have my music solidified, then I’ll consider reality TV.
Usher is really trying to make that hat a thing, huh?
Despite his hectic schedule, which include being a coach on The Voice and starring as Sugar Ray Leonard in upcoming film. Usher is still making time to create music for his new album.
Usher and his possum hat posted a picture of him in the studio alongside singer/songwriter/ Rico Love. If you're not familiar with Rico Love, he's written tracks like Usher's "There Goes My Baby," Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams," and just recently released his new tracked titled "They Don’t Know."
Daniel Boone Usher needs to have another pregnancy scare so we can get another album like Confessions. He could have kept Looking 4 Myself to himself. (Minus "Climax," of course)
Kelly Rowland isn't letting a little label drama stop her hustle. The 33-year-old beauty just landed a gig as the new spokesmodel for Caress skin care. Kelly is far from new to the spokesmodel life. She's endorsement products like TW Steel, Sean John’s “Empress” perfume, and Jaguar.
Kelly and her flawless skin are the perfect match for Caress. Work, Ms. Kelly.
Eva Longoria has a PSA for Khloe Kardashian and all the other reality television stars out there: If you don't want people prying into your personal life, then don't broadcast it on Reality TV.
Last week, Khloe Kardashian was accused of cutting her interview with Sunrise, an Australian morning show, short after being asked about her niece North West and other general questions about her life. Khloe denies stopping the interview, claiming that the call dropped and called the show out for being "desperate" for a story.
When the beautiful Eva Longoria stopped by Sunrise for an interview, she was asked her thoughts on Khloe and her refusal to answer personal questions. Here what she had to say about the difference between real actors and reality stars.
There’s definitely things that are off-limits and shouldn’t be asked (but) I think it is different for a reality star than it is for an actor. An actor goes out and acts and does work, certain things are left to be private. Reality stars are kind of living out their lives, that’s why they are famous, because of the reality of their lives.
Eva has a point. When you make your coins by showcasing your life, people expect you to always be like an open book. You open the door for people to become invested in your personal life, which makes them feel they have the right to certain info. But then again, everyone has limits.
Peter Gounis --one of the accountants involved in Rihanna's lawsuit-- is firing back against the claims that his bad advice almost left the pop star penniless back in 2009. In a court filing on Wednesday, Gounis and his lawyers claim that if anyone is to blame for RiRi's near bankruptcy, it's her request for a lavish tour and her want of "things."
Here are some of the highlights from Gounis' filing:
On Rihanna's 'Last Girl On Earth' Tour:
Peter Gounis … had no role or responsibility for how much money was made and/or spent.
The tour was what she wanted, just as the exorbitant amount of expensive clothing and other purchases she squandered her money on were.
On not preventing Rihanna from purchasing excessive amounts of clothing, jewelry, shoes, etc. :
At the end of her two-year spending spree she had rooms of shoes, clothing and jewelry and fond, if not hazy, memories of extravagant parties, but little cash.
Was it really necessary to tell her that if you spend money for things you will end up with the things, and not the money?
Basically his defense is: Rihanna not using common sense landed her in financial trouble, not him. The case is set to go to trial May 12.
Jay Z ain't the only rapper having breasteses for breakfast.
Rapper Big Sean and his boo, glee-star Naya Rivera, snapped some pics of them frolicking on the beach and posted them on Instagram. While looking at the photos, something rather large caught my eye. And no, I'm not talking about the size of the waves. I'm talking the seemingly enhanced size of Naya's chest.
Naya and her frontal floatation devices have a lot of people questioning whether she went under the knife and received breast implants. Who knows, It could be the bikini or padding --but I doubt it. Whatever floats your boat, Naya. Your body is beyond sick either way.
Even though Sean is an a$$ man, I'm sure he's not complaining.
Mommy-to-be, Ciara, was spotted with a friend shopping at Giggles Baby Store in Santa Monica. The 9-month pregnant singer was busying browsing the aisles looking at baby clothes and toys.
Ciara's baby daddy/fiancé, Future, slipped up during an interview and revealed the two were expecting a baby boy.
“The baby is already listening to music now. [Ciara] sent me a video while I was over here with the headphones on her stomach. She said ‘The baby just listened to “Turn On The Lights,” the version with me and you!’ I said ‘He gott- You gotta play that “Anytime” for him, the new one you did. Let him hear that. See how he kick.’
Check out the pics of Mommy C doing some shopping below.
Porsha Williams Twitter Beefs with Tamala Jones & Her Publicist
RHOA star and former beard ex-wife of Kordell Stewart, Porsha Williams, found herself in the middle of some off-camera drama when actress Tamala Jones checked her due to reports by TMZ stating that Williams was dating Tamala's boyfriend Nguema Obiang Mangue,
Porsha tweeted that the rumors were fake and she was annoyed by the whole situation. She took it a step further and called out Tamala for harassing her and offered to teach her how to "claim her man." This time, instead of Tamala clapping back, her publicist stepped in.
Porsha responded by tweeting that she was on a successful show and didn't need publicity antics. She claimed that in the name of sisterhood, she was through with the situation.
So, Porsha can't teach you anything about the underground railroad, but she can teach you how to claim your man. Amazing priorities, Porsha.
Chipotle Claims They Never Received Frank Ocean’s ‘F**k Off’ Check
If you haven't heard about the Frank Ocean/Chipotle beef here is the basic summary:
Chipotle reached out to Frank to recreate the song "Pure Imagination " for their commercial. Despite being paid an advance of $212.5k, Frank pulled out of the commercial due to Chipotle refusing to remove their logo at the end of their ad. Chipotle then filed a lawsuit against Frank for $212.5k aka the amount of his advance. Frank’s camp says he was granted final say of the ad, but Chipotle refused his requests.
So what did Frankie do? Tell Chipotle to "f**k off"with a fat check, of course.
Now, thanks to the internet, the "f**k off" check has become infamous. Chipotle has definitely seen it, just not in person. A rep from Chipotle told Rolling Stone:
"If/when we get a check from Frank, we should be able to close the books on this. Right now, all we have is a photo online
Everybody grab a burrito bowl and let's get it together. Chipotle should just hire Mary J. Blige, because she did wonders for Burger King . Front if you want, but I bet ya'll know what's in the chicken snack wraps. Crispy chicken, fresh lettuce...
Drake is busy traveling the world as part of the European portion of his Would You Like A Tour? tour. Luckily for Drizzy he's been in good company, since his former (probably current) boo Rihanna has been frequenting many of his concert and partying with him until the wee hours of the morning .
While at his show in Brussels -- with RiRi in attendance of course -- Drizzy performed a mash up of Rihanna's hit "Stay" and his own record "Too Much" Check it out.
