#FASHIONFAB: Teyana Taylor in Thom Browne
The Doll shut it down once again — and by “Miss Lady,” we mean One Battle After Another Star Teyana Taylor, and by “it,” we mean the red carpet at the 2026 Actor Awards (fka the SAG Awards). Just look at this insane hotness:
The fine folks at Thom Browne said that the bodice includes over 160 pattern pieces and the skirt holds 400,000 sequins and 175,000 beads. The work was put in we love how the bodice not only highlights her amazing form, but it also evokes military camo while the skirt has a more romantic, poetic sort of feel, evoking rainfall to us. We feel like these elements combine to sum up her persona: body, fierceness, and expressiveness. It’s uniquely beautiful and the only quibble we have is with the bow and the trailing ribbons, but again, that little touch of girliness feels like a personal statement almost.

#RHOA: Kenya Moore Denies Owing Rent for Her Salon
Kenya Moore denies reports of being behind on her hair salon rent payments. “My company is in an active lawsuit against my salon landlord,” Moore stated. A judge ordered Moore to pay over $80,000 for unpaid rent and utilities.
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member was back in the headlines about the finances of her business. Kenya Moore had the grand opening of Kenya Moore Hair Spa filmed on her last season.
She was fired after she showed humiliating photos of her fellow cast member, Brit Eady. The Bravo show is about to return with a very different-looking cast. Moore, 55, addressed the reports about her being behind on rent for the salon.
The In The House actor responded to recent reports on Instagram on February 27. She posted a picture of herself teasing that she’ll be live on YouTube on Sunday, March 1. “The reports about me being behind on rent are false,” read the caption. “As I have stated before, my company is in an active lawsuit against my salon landlord for failing to pay nearly $80,000 in tenant improvement allowance OWED TO ME.”
“I invested over $300,000 of my own money to build out my salon in a commercial space from a ‘white box’,” the statement continued. “When the landlord failed to reimburse contractual expenses, I withheld rent in an effort to reach a fair settlement, and subsequently filed a countersuit for the amount they failed to reimburse.”
Moore claimed she’ll address questions on YouTube live. “I will also be updating you on my new projects, relationship status, and encounter with BrittEady,” she teased. “It’s going to be juicy!”
TMZ reported that a Georgia judge ordered the salon owner to pay more than $80,000 for unpaid rent and utilities. The judge gave Moore a deadline to pay $43,988 by late February, then $43,988.67 by late March. The landlord claimed she failed to give the first payment.

#MusicNews: Gnarls Barkley Announces Final Album ‘Atlanta,’
Gnarls Barkley, the duo consisting of vocalist CeeLo Green and producer Danger Mouse, is back.
The genre-bending act has announced their third and final album, Atlanta, will release March 6 via 10K Projects/Atlantic Records. The album will be available digitally as well as on vinyl and CD.
The beloved duo officially teased their return on Wednesday (Feb. 25) via Instagram, sharing a cryptic post featuring artwork by Butcher Billy. “GNARLS BARKLEY,” they captioned, with the eyes emoji.
Later, they shared the album trailer, confirming the final installment of their trilogy: “The last chapter 3.6. 26.”
Titled after the city they’re from, Atlanta will consist of 13 tracks, including the lead single “Pictures,” released Thursday (Feb. 26).
On “Pictures,” Green flips through a photobook of memories from his formative years. “A minute goes by, now it’s the past / I hope life is saving the best for last,” he sings on the Danger Mouse production.
Speaking on the song’s meaning, Green shares, “‘Pictures’ is like going back to square one. It’s a full circle moment. The spirit of Gnarls Barkley is always self-discovery. The sweet, the sad, and the strange. The universe, the adventure inside of yourself.”
On the track, Green also pays homage to Atlanta’s MARTA system, which both he and Danger Mouse frequently boarded growing up — years before they finally crossed paths.
“The song came from a childhood experience,” Green explains of its inspiration. “I had a middle school principal who, every Friday, would tell me to go when I would get to school. Without fail. I was in 8th grade and I would leave school and ride the train alone from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The hook of the song is literally about being on the train. When you are in transit it’s like a motion picture passing you by…staring out the window of the MARTA train.”
Atlanta is the follow-up to Gnarls Barkley’s 2008 sophomore set, The Odd Couple. The album, which debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200, included the singles “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul,” “Going On” and “Run (I’m a Natural Disaster).”
In 2006, Gnarls Barkley released their critically-acclaimed debut album, St. Elsewhere. It included their international hit “Crazy,” which reached No. 1 on the U.K. charts and No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
At the 49th Grammy Awards, it won Best Urban/Alternative Performance for “Crazy.” They also took home a trophy for Best Alternative Music Album.
In a 2020 interview with Rated R&B, Green confirmed that Gnarls Barkley’s third album was in the works. “I just talked about Danger Mouse yesterday, so we are on board and on schedule. There was never a formal date; it was just kind of taking these moments to get together,” he said. “It’s always been scheduling conflicts but it’s also been us just waiting for the right time. We are finally getting to a point where we can make it happen for real.”

#HipHopNews: Wu-Tang Clan Co-Founder Oliver ‘Power’ Grant’s Cause Of Death Revealed
Wu-Tang Clan co-founder Oliver “Power” Grant’s cause of death has been revealed.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, March 1, Grant’s family and the Wu-Tang Clan shared a joint statement saying Grant passed due to pancreatic cancer.
“A true fighter until the end, he was surrounded by his mother, his children, his family, and his closest friends,” the statement began. “Born November 24, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, the man the world knew as ‘Power’ — and his oldest friends knew as ‘Pookie’ — was a proud product of the Park Hill neighborhood.”
“From those streets, he rose to become a visionary force, a pillar of the Wu-Tang family and a global architect of culture,” the statement continued. “ It was the honor of his life to pour his love, wisdom, and brilliance into his family and his community. His impact was singular; there will never be another to take his place.”
The statement also confirmed Grant’s forthcoming memorial service.
“The wake will be on March 13, 2026, and the funeral will be on March 14, 2026, in the New York City area. We will release exact location details closer to the service dates as we finalize securing the venues,” the post stated.
On Monday, February 23, Grant passed away. Although he never rapped, Grant was instrumental in Wu-Tang’s meteoric rise in the 1990s. Born in Jamaica and raised in New York, he helped to construct the vision of the group along with RZA and the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
When they released their 1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Grant “helped secure studio access and financial backing. “He also helped the group members secure solo deals, which was unheard of at the time.
Grant also founded Wu Wear, which was one of the artist-owned streetwear brands in hip-hop. With retail locations in New York and Los Angeles, Wu Wear rapidly became a global phenomenon, generating millions of dollars.
As an actor, he made his debut as “Knowledge” in Hype Williams’ 1998 urban cult classic, Belly. He also starred as “Rich Bower” in the 1999 drama Black and White, alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller. Grant also served as an associate producer on the film.
His other film credits include When I Will Be Loved (where he was also a composer), Coalition, An Imperfect Murder, and he was portrayed as “Big Kev” in the unreleased Wendy Williams biopic Queen of Media.

Deon Cole Reveals Barbz Backlash After Nicki Minaj NAACP Image Award Joke
Deon Cole recently cracked jokes about Nicki Minaj, and the Barbz did not take it lightly.
At the NAACP Image Awards, the comedian poked fun at the New York rapper, saying, “I want you to bless our sister Nicki Minaj. She’s been going through a lot lately, but hasn’t been herself, Lord. I believe whatever is in her a** is affecting her brain. Take it out of her a**.”
The joke appeared as a shot at Nicki Minaj for her recent political views, which have surprised due to her alignment with Donald Trump. Despite the backlash, her supporters continue to stand firmly beside her.
Following the moment, the Barbz flooded Deon Cole’s DMs with hateful messages, which he later shared online.
“You were practically sucking Jay-Z d*ck to get a picture. Did that begging and sucking get you that role in his move?? All that a** kissing for what? Why mention the mf queen when you could mention how your baby daddy was in those mfs filezzz.”
Another fan warned Cole to never speak on Nicki Minaj again, writing, “Keep Nicki out yo mouth before I sp*t on you.”
His Nicki Minaj joke clearly did not sit well with her fans, as some of the trolls escalated the situation by sending racist messages and death threats toward the comedian.
While comedy often pushes boundaries, the Barbz are not letting any Nicki stander be tolerated.

Texas A&M Star KC Concepcion Addresses Stutter After Fan Backlash
KC Concepcion is making sure his voice is heard.The Texas A&M star wide receiver — who is one of the top WR prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class — addressed fan negativity after viewers noticed his stutter during his NFL Combine media session. As social media commentary picked up, Concepcion took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message at the end of the weekend.
“I just wanna say something,” Concepcion began. “If you have a speech impediment there is nothing wrong with us. I have had this stutter since I can remember talking. This is a part of me. This is who I am. I cannot control this.”
The 5-foot-11 wide receiver, who played two seasons at North Carolina State before transferring to Texas A&M for 2025, didn’t stop there. He continued, “I wanna be a role model for those who may be scared to speak up, who may be afraid and not confident in yourself. I stand with you. This weekend has taught me a lot about myself and people out here in this world.”
Concepcion also expressed gratitude for supporters who reached out following his interviews. “I appreciate everyone who supports me and has reached out to me after these interviews. Don’t let an outside person’s thoughts, opinions get in the way of you being great, of you achieving something in life.”
“I am blessed to be in the position that I am in and I want to help give back to those who are scared to speak up, who aren’t as confident. I stand with you. I will always stand with you,” he added, before concluding, “We are different for a reason. God has blessed my life in a way I couldn’t even imagine in this past year. I love y’all and I support y’all as we climb this mountain together.” Concepcion signed off his message with the hashtag #stopthenegativity.
On the field, the wideout had 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in the most recent campaign and has a chance to be a first-round pick — and, as the article notes, a chance to be an inspiration to many.

#BoxOfficeNews: Scream 7 Secures Biggest Box Office Opening Weekend of the Scream Franchise
Scream 7 has enjoyed a huge box office opening weekend, with nearly $100 million secured from theaters globally.
The slasher flick made $64.1 million domestically and $33.1 million internationally, setting a franchise record for opening weekend box office. In total, Scream 7 brought in $97.2 million, making it likely that the movie will blow past the lifetime box office of each of the previous Scream films, this first of which released 30 years ago in 1996. To put Scream 7’s domestic opening weekend into context, 2023’s Scream 6 previously held the franchise’s domestic opening weekend record with $44.4 million.
Nostalgia has played a big part in Scream 7’s opening weekend success. Neve Campbell, who stars as series protagonist Sidney Prescott, returned for Scream 7 after skipping Scream 6 over a pay dispute. According to Variety, Campbell secured a nearly $7 million deal for Scream 7, whereas Courteney Cox, who plays reporter and veteran murder spree survivor Gale Weathers, was paid $2 million.
Scream 7 writer and director Kevin Williamson revealed Neve Campbell already has a “great” idea for Scream 8, which he promised would be made as long as Scream 7 is a success. Well, it already looks like Scream 7 is a success, so Scream 8 feels like a sure thing.
Away from Ghostface’s stabby shenanigans, the very different Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, is now up to an impressive $192 million globally after another $22.552 million this weekend. And for those still keeping score, Disney said that after 11 weekends, Avatar: Fire and Ash has grossed an estimated $1.48 billion worldwide ($401.2 million domestic / $1.079 billion international), after another $5.4 million was added this weekend. 2009's Avatar 1 remains the highest-grossing movie of all time (not adjusted for inflation), earning a staggering $2.9 billion across several theatrical runs. 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water has earned $2.3 billion, meanwhile, cementing its place as the third-highest grossing film of all time. Fire and Ash looks like it will top out at around $1.5 billion. Writer and director James Cameron is yet to signal that Avatar 4 and 5 are definitely going to happen, as box office watchers wonder whether Fire and Ash has done well enough to convince the powers that be at Disney to move ahead.
And finally, Disney's Zootopia 2 has grossed an estimated $1.86 billion worldwide ($425.8 million domestic / $1.433 billion international) after 14 weekends.
The slasher flick made $64.1 million domestically and $33.1 million internationally, setting a franchise record for opening weekend box office. In total, Scream 7 brought in $97.2 million, making it likely that the movie will blow past the lifetime box office of each of the previous Scream films, this first of which released 30 years ago in 1996. To put Scream 7’s domestic opening weekend into context, 2023’s Scream 6 previously held the franchise’s domestic opening weekend record with $44.4 million.
Nostalgia has played a big part in Scream 7’s opening weekend success. Neve Campbell, who stars as series protagonist Sidney Prescott, returned for Scream 7 after skipping Scream 6 over a pay dispute. According to Variety, Campbell secured a nearly $7 million deal for Scream 7, whereas Courteney Cox, who plays reporter and veteran murder spree survivor Gale Weathers, was paid $2 million.

Will Smith Files to Dismiss Violinist Lawsuit from violinist, Brian King Joseph
Two months ago Will Smith was hit with a wrongful termination lawsuit accusing him of grooming violinist, Brian King Joseph, and then kicking Brian off the 'Based on a True Story' tour after he filed a police report claiming a suggestive note, a bottle of beer, and HIV medication being left in his hotel room
Will Smith files to have the case dismissed...Will Smith is asking a judge to throw out the sexual harassment lawsuit against him ... with his lawyer alleging that the filing is just a desperate attempt to shake the star down for cash.
In the motion to strike, Smith's team argues Joseph admits he doesn't know who "Stone F" could be ... but, he's inexplicably filed a suit against Smith and his company, Treyball Studios.
In addition, though Joseph claims he was invited to join the tour, Smith says he was hired only on a per-show basis and wasn't promised a position in the band.

In addition, though Joseph claims he was invited to join the tour, Smith says he was hired only on a per-show basis and wasn't promised a position in the band.
Joseph and Smith were never alone together, the filing states ... so, Smith's lawyers say it's unclear what Joseph meant when he said he was allegedly "grooming" him.
Smith's team is hoping the judge will grant their motion to strike ... but, they also state in the lawsuit they're ready to provide witnesses who will explain Joseph wasn't invited to continue on with the group because he "behaved erratically, was difficult to work with, and made the other members of Mr. Smith's band feel uncomfortable."
Ultimately, Smith's side claims this is a "frivolous lawsuit" and an "attempted money grab."
Kimora Lee Officially Drops Simmons

Now Kimora has officially dropped her married name Simmons...
From Complex
“Kimora’s decision to change her name legally — back to Kimora Lee — is rooted in a commitment to clarity and ownership,” the statement began.
The statement also addresses recent headlines and speculation, pushing back on how her story has been framed in the media.
“She is no stranger to controversy,” the statement continued. “Recently, The New York Post published an article based on a flawed premise and full of inaccuracies. That piece has since been quietly revised on multiple occasions in an attempt to evade accountability.”

It continues: “She has threatened to sue — and is suing others — in order to combat bad deals and dishonest attempts to bully and extort her out of what has always been rightfully hers. Her focus remains on protecting her family, building a legacy, and moving forward with grace and power.”
The statement concludes by framing the name change as part of a larger evolution.
“While some areas of her business and brand portfolio will reflect this evolution, she welcomes the transition as an opportunity to move forward with greater intention and cohesion,” she said.
Colorado Quarterback Dominiq Ponder Dies in Crash at Age 23
The Colorado football community is mourning the loss of quarterback Dominiq Ponder, whose death was confirmed Sunday by head coach Deion Sanders. He was 23.
Sanders shared an emotional message on social media, remembering Ponder not only as a player but as someone who left a lasting impression on everyone around him.
“God, please comfort the Ponder family, friends and loved ones. Dom was one of my favorites!” Sanders wrote. “He was loved, respected, & a born leader. Let’s pray for all who knew him & had the opportunity to be in his presence. Lord, you’re receiving a good one. Comfort us, Lord, Comfort us.”
God please comfort the Ponder family, friends & Loved ones. Dom was one of my favorites! He was Loved, Respected & a Born Leader. Let’s pray for all that knew him & had the opportunity to be in his presence. Lord you’re receiving a good 1. Comfort us Lord Comfort us. #CoachPrime
According to reports, Ponder died Saturday night following a single-vehicle accident. Ponder had been part of the Buffaloes program since transferring in 2024 as a walk-on. The redshirt junior saw limited game action but remained a valued member of the quarterback room and special teams unit.
He made his first collegiate appearance late in the 2025 season against Arizona and also contributed the following week in a matchup against West Virginia. Teammates quickly paid tribute, remembering his character and presence far beyond the field.
Quarterback Colton Allen wrote that Ponder “was a blessing to so many people” and someone who brought energy and positivity wherever he went, adding that their shared moments, from workouts to conversations, would stay with him forever. Former Colorado quarterback Ryan Staub also expressed disbelief, saying the loss didn’t feel real and calling Ponder someone who constantly pushed others to improve.
Before arriving at Colorado, Ponder began his college career at Bethune-Cookman, where he redshirted after briefly appearing in games as a freshman. He previously starred at Naples High School and Miami Carol City in Florida, earning recognition as a three-star recruit.
His death comes just days before Colorado’s spring practices were scheduled to begin, casting a shadow over the program as players and coaches grieve the loss of a teammate described by many as a natural leader.
Ponder is survived by his family, friends, and teammates, who continue to honor his memory and the impact he made during his time in Boulder.

IN MORE DISTURBING NEWS: Trump Officilally Changes Kennedy Center Honors Name to Trump Kennedy Center Honors
The Trump Kennedy Center Honors is officially happening. After a board shakeup and leadership changes, Donald Trump has changed the name of the long running Kennedy Center Honors to the Trump Kennedy Center Honors, and the ceremony will move to a smaller venue during renovations.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is set to undergo major renovations for roughly two years. Because of that closure, organizers confirmed the annual honors ceremony will not take place in its usual grand opera house setting.
Instead, the newly branded event will relocate to a smaller space. Organizers say the tighter room will drive even higher ticket demand due to limited seating.
That claim is already getting side eyes. For decades, the Kennedy Center Honors stood as a bipartisan cultural moment where artists across music, film, theater, and dance received lifetime achievement recognition. Presidents from both parties traditionally attended. The night felt ceremonial, not political.
Now the branding shift places Trump’s name directly on the ceremony while he serves his second term. Supporters frame it as a leadership stamp on an American institution. Critics argue it blurs the line between cultural celebration and political identity.
Meanwhile, some performers have reconsidered their involvement with Kennedy Center programming since the leadership overhaul. While the honors ceremony will continue, the tone around it has clearly changed.
This is not just a venue swap. It is a redefinition.
And whether the smaller room creates buzz or backlash, one thing is clear. The Trump Kennedy Center Honors will not feel like the version audiences grew up watching.
