It’s another new week and another update on what’s happening in the international celebrity world. I hope you had a great weekend, I am battling flu in this heat so naturally I am not a happy camper.
Speaking of great weekends, there’s one person who did not have a great start to her weekend, it’s Malika Haaq. Khloe Kardashian’s BFF was arrested for driving under the influence after she crashed her car on the LA highway. Reports said she also failed a sobriety test. It’s a shame when people get into these unnecessary and avoidable situations. There’s Uber, why endanger yourself and others when you can simply avoid it? She’s out on $30, 000 bail and we will be updating you on this case.
In couple news:
I think by now you’ve all heard of the rumoured romance between actress Kate Hudson (How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days) and singer Nick Jonas (Jealous). She’s 36 and he’s 23 – couging hard! Apparently he’s always had a crush on her and they’ve been hooking up after being re-introduced by her brother who happens to be doing some work with Nick. I say good for them, I do not know why people are making a big deal about this being inappropriate because of their age difference. JLo is way older than Cassper Smart but we seem to have accepted this. Reports are now claiming that this is just a fling – of course his career has kick started big time and he needs not only the notoriety but also his teenage girl fans and if this was serious, he would risk losing this market. All the best for this hook up!
Another rumoured couple involves Empire actress, singer and Taylor Swift’s bestie, Serayah. She’s reportedly linked to rapper Wale. I personally think this is a strange couple but we have seen stranger things. No one is admitting anything at this stage but at least she is not dating an ex of Taylor’s or an ex of anyone in their Squad, we all know how the Tay Tay Squad rolls.
B.O.B and Sevyn Streeter have called it quits. Well he’s been all over social media talking about how he is recently single and will be nice to someone if he wants to “hit that”. He has also posted a picture with a known Atlanta THOT implying that he is “hitting that”. When people date boys and not men this what happens after the break-up. Immature, unnecessary behaviour.
In Magazines:
Dwayne Wade covers the latest issue of Ocean Drive magazine. Is it me or ever since he got with Gabrielle Union he’s somewhat become very attractive, like she sprinkled an extra dash of swag on him? I follow the two on IG and I have to say I have fallen in love with their love. Their relationship seems genuine, fun and the real deal well at least as far as IG relationships go.
FKA Twigs covers the new Paper magazine issue and she is speaking about how traditional she is. She’s that girl that wants the whole nine yards; a wedding, a beautiful home, some babies and the picket fence. I honestly wouldn’t have thought that about her but then again, image pushed by most of these artists is designed to sell a product and not necessarily a reflection of who they are (in most cases). I can’t wait to see her wedding to actor Robert Pattison.
In New Music:
Ciara is covering the Rolling Stones’ Paint It Black for the new Vin Diesel movie. Before I heard I was like Ciara and her average vocals should not be touching anything as classic as that but I was pleasantly surprised, she doesn’t sound too bad, clearly someone has invested in a vocal coach. Listen HERE!
The Weeknd has enlisted Nicki Minaj’s help on the remix of his number one track, The Hills. I am obsessed with this song. If I was sexually active, this would be my get me to the bedroom song. It does things to a person and Nicki’s bars do not sound bad either. Listen HERE! On a side note: I love me some The Weeknd but he gives me Kanye West vibes. Oh Eminem also features on another version of the remix – clearly everyone thinks the song is hot as we all do.
RiRi has unveiled new artwork and album title for her upcoming music. Last week I was speaking about how we have been waiting for R8 and still dololo. Well Rihanna has decided to do a complete spin on us with new everything, the new album will be called AN-TI representing non-conformity, opposing to social norms etc. Well I can’t wait to hear what she has in-store for us. She is looking great by the way. Is me or has she been fully dressed a lot lately?
The Braxtons are set to release a Christmas Album at the end of October. If you have been watching The Braxton Family Values, you know how long it has taken the sisters to make the album, I am not sure if I would buy a Christmas Album was the best work to put out but I hope this is the first of many collaborations from the sisters.
It has also been a great year for Toni Braxton, her duet album with BabyFace Love, Marriage & Divorce garnered her another Grammy earlier in the year. She has been touring constantly and she also released her memoir, Unbreak My Heart. The memoir is being turned into a Lifetime movie, the same way Whitney Houston’s life was made into a movie but unlike the Whitney movie, Toni is very much involved in the making of her movie and she will be executive producing the movie. Alexis Scott will play the diva and Devious Maids star, Tiffany Hines will play the over the top sister, Tamar Braxton. This ought to be interesting, I am definitely going to be watching.
In Event Pictures:
I am loving this Vivienne Westwood dress on Tracee-Ellis Ross. It looks so feminine, chic and sexy. Love it! Miss Westwood always reminds me of SA designer Marianne Fassler whom I love to bits. Just thought I should share that part.
Rick Ross and soon to be wife Lira Galore at the BET Hip Hop Awards. Is it me or Lira looks a little thicker than she does on IG. She actually looks like a different person. These filters tjo!
How’s you life?
