#RHOA: Maury Povich Makes Surprise RHOA Cameo to Settle Pinky Cole and Phaedra Parks' Feud with Lie Detector Test
Maury Povich made an unexpected appearance on The Real Housewives of Atlanta — and brought one of his signature tests with him.
During the Sunday, April 26 episode of the Bravo reality series, the longtime TV host popped in to help settle a debate involving newcomer Aisha “Pinky” Cole Hayes and her castmates: whether the vegan entrepreneur had secretly been eating meat.
The moment stemmed from a disagreement between Pinky, founder of the popular plant-based chain Slutty Vegan, and fellow Housewife Phaedra Parks
During a charity event hosted by Pinky, the entrepreneur said to her castmates that Phaedra was "telling people I eat meat," which Phaedra denied. Their costar Shamea Morton chimed in saying she heard the rumor from Phaedra.
"No I did not," Phaedra told Shamea. "I remember telling you Pinky had lots of accolades and one was owning a Jamaican restaurant."
The show cuts to a confessional with Shamea who said, "I swear I thought the lady told me that Pinky eat meat." Then, a clip rolls from Shamea and Phaedra's prior phone conversation, in which Phaedra said: "Before [Pinky] started this vegan stuff, that girl used to have a Jamaican restaurant serving meat, honey."
Pinky pushed back, firmly denying the accusation. "I am plant-based,” she said before making a not-suitable-for-work joke.
She also revealed, "I was a producer for the Maury show, so I got a lie detector test in my back pocket. And I'm like, 'Do I need to pull it out?'"
Shortly after, Povich, 87, appeared virtually. “In my hand, I have the results of your vegan lie detector test,” he announced. “Pinky, when it comes to the accusation that you’ve been secretly eating meat… the lie detector test says… that was a lie.”
He added, “Pinky, you’re still a vegan.”
“Thank you, Maury,” Cole Hayes responded with a wink.
Pinky joined RHOA in season 17, bringing both her business story and personal life into the spotlight. In earlier episodes, she opened up about the challenges of rebuilding her Slutty Vegan empire.
Founded in 2018 as a delivery concept, the brand quickly grew to encompass food trucks and later brick-and-mortar locations, gaining attention for the menu item's cheeky names.
At its peak, the company reportedly reached a $100 million valuation. But rapid expansion also came with financial strain. In March 2026, Pinky filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Georgia, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The filing lists more than $1.3 million in total debts, including approximately $1.2 million owed to the U.S. Small Business Administration and about $192,000 in state taxes.
Despite the setbacks, Pinky has said she remains focused on rebuilding.
“I built this brand with heart and hustle,” she previously told PEOPLE. “And I’m not done yet.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

#NewMusicVideo from Lady Gaga & Doechii ‘RUNWAY’ For ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’
The Devil Wears Prada 2, the much anticipated sequel to the 2006 workplace comedy The Devil Wears Prada, is set to make quite the splash in theaters this weekend. The movie will once again feature stars such as film legend Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt. But fans can expect two more divas to join the party this time around, with Lady Gaga and Doechii joining the fold on the soundtrack side of things with their dance floor-filling bop “RUNWAY.” With the film on the precipice of release, the two come together for a stunning visual for the track.
“RUNWAY” was already a sassy track, with Doechii and Gaga trading verses over a house-inspired beat. The key portion of the song’s sentiment comes with the pre-chorus, though, as the ladies revel in their bad b***h status while giving us this mission statement.
“Yes, serve a little sass / Yes, with a little side of a** / Yes, got the front row screaming / Okay (Okay), okay (Okay),” Doechii states matter-of-factly. “Yes, do a little twirl / Yes, let ’em know I’m that girl / Yes, Monday through Sunday / I can turn a dance floor into a runway.”
The ladies turn to famed choreographer-turned-director Parris Goebel for the song’s ultra-glam and haute couture visuals. Gaga and Doechii and their crew of dancers walk, sashay, twirl and strut for the camera with a fierceness that only a supermodel (or maybe a drag queen) could muster. All the while, they rock pieces that are just as much art as they are fashion, including teapot getups, spike-and-rhinestone-studded body suits complete with facekinis, and voluminous asymmetrical ballgowns that have to be seen to be believed.

#HipHopNews: Drake Reaches A Historic Milestone On The Albums Chart, Again
Drake's Nothing Was the Same reaches 520 weeks, or a full decade, on the Billboard 200. It's his second album to do so, following Take Care several years ago. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 12: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Drake performs live on stage during day two of Wireless Festival 2025 at Finsbury Park on July 12, 2025 in London, England. Drake is headlining an unprecedented all three nights of Wireless Festival. (Photo by Simone Joyner/Getty Images for ABA)
There are only a relatively small number of albums that have lived on the Billboard 200 – the chart company of the same name’s ranking of the 200 most popular EPs and full-lengths in the U.S. – for 10 years. An entire decade of moving thousands, sometimes 10,000 new equivalent album units or more, week after week after week is the kind of feat reserved for only the biggest names in the music business, and most well-known artists will never come even close to that milestone.
This week, two superstars see hugely successful albums make it to that number in what could potentially be a first when it comes to the Billboard 200. For one of those acts, it’s a first, but for Drake, he manages the showing for the second time in his career.
Nothing Was the Same Hits a Decade on the Billboard 200
Drake’s Nothing Was the Same is one of nine albums by the Canadian hip-hop powerhouse to live on at least one Billboard tally at the moment, and it is the only one that appears on a single roster, the Billboard 200. As the project improves slightly from No. 185 to No. 180, it celebrates its five hundred twentieth frame on the rundown.
Drake’s Take Care Remains His Longest-Charting Album
Amazingly, Nothing Was the Same is Drake’s second album to reach a decade on the Billboard 200, and the first did so years ago. Take Care remains the Grammy winner’s longest-charting title, with 685 turns on the tally to its credit.
Take Care remains the thirteenth longest-running set on the list, and amazingly, out of the rapper’s nine current placements on the rundown, it is his loftiest win. Take Care is steady at No. 28, standing out as Drake’s only top 40 album.

Jermaine Jackson Faces $6.5M Default Judgment In 1988 Assault Lawsuit
Jermaine Jackson is confronting a $6.5 million default judgment after failing to respond to a rape lawsuit dating back to December 2023.
The former Jackson 5 member has not appeared in court since the allegations were made, which could lead to an automatic loss in the case.
The lawsuit was filed by Rita Butler Barrett, who accuses Jermaine Jackson of sexually assaulting her in the spring of 1988. Barrett’s legal team states she knew him through industry connections and his involvement with the Musicians' Union.
According to the complaint, Jermaine Jackson allegedly arrived uninvited at Barrett’s Encino residence, forced entry, and committed the assault. Barrett claims the incident caused severe trauma and fear for her safety.
Efforts to serve Jermaine Jackson with the initial lawsuit were unsuccessful, prompting his accusers’ attorneys to seek court permission to publish legal notices in the Los Angeles Times. These notices ran weekly from August through September 2025.
When further service was required for a statement of damages, the notices were published again in February 2026. Despite these attempts, Jermaine Jackson has not responded to any legal communications.
Barrett’s legal team is now petitioning the court to issue a default judgment, which would grant her the $6.5 million in damages she seeks, plus over $7,100 in legal fees related to filing and publication costs. If approved by the judge, the case will be resolved without a trial.
This legal development emerges amid renewed public focus on the Jackson family, especially surrounding recent discussions about Michael Jackson and allegations against him. The release of the "Michael" biopic has stirred family tensions, including disputes between Jermaine Jackson and sister Janet Jackson.
As Jermaine Jackson faces serious legal consequences, the legacy of the Jackson family continues to be challenged by long-standing accusations of sexual misconduct spanning several decades.

Why Key And Peele Allegedly Drifted Apart After A Disney Project Fell Through
Comedian Akilah Hughes recently shared insights that may shed light on why the beloved comedy duo Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele no longer collaborate as they once did. Her revelations center around a promising sketch show opportunity tied to Disney that ultimately unraveled amid complicated personal and professional conflicts.
Known for her sharp comedic sketches and previous work with Comedy Central, Hughes opened up about a project that never came to fruition and the chain of events that allegedly contributed to the split between Key and Peele. The story reveals tensions behind the scenes that go beyond typical industry challenges.
Initially, the project held great promise. Encouraged by industry contacts, Hughes pursued her own sketch show and recruited Key as a producer to lend credibility. The expectation was that his rising fame, especially during his stint hosting Saturday Night Live, would help boost the show’s profile. However, during his SNL appearance, Key notably thanked only his wife on-air, an omission that marked the beginning of complications.
Hughes alleges that Key’s wife became involved as a producer on the project. While executives reportedly had a strong positive opinion of Key, reactions to his wife’s role were far less enthusiastic. Despite this, the show secured a major deal with The Walt Disney Company, which should have been a milestone achievement. But then, a pivotal phone call altered the trajectory entirely.
According to Hughes, after a dinner involving Key and his wife, Peele’s wife reached out with what was perceived as a warning. The comparison she referenced was stark, invoking the tragic legacy of Phil Hartman and raising serious concerns about the costs of personal dynamics. “There was no accounting for how much money this woman has cost that Black man,” Hughes recalls being told bluntly.
Initially, Hughes believed these tensions would not significantly affect production. However, while Key was away filming Wonka, his wife’s involvement reportedly increased, with her offering production notes that were not well received. The situation escalated until a lawsuit emerged, halting production. Disney eventually intervened financially to resolve the dispute.
Following these events, the project quickly unraveled. Compounding the problems was the writers’ strike, which further stalled progress. Ultimately, the network decided to cancel the show altogether, marking a disappointing end to what had once seemed a promising collaboration.
Adding to the drama, Hughes referenced a rumor circulating on Deuxmoi about an unusual restaurant incident involving an alleged fake allergy—a situation where a person was sneezing about an allergy, but the plant in question was reportedly plastic.
These revelations help explain why the iconic duo Key and Peele are no longer working together and hint at why their career paths have diverged so distinctly. Interestingly, Key has recently expressed a desire to bring their show back, a wish that fans and observers alike would surely welcome.

Track legend Allyson Felix, 40, eyeing comeback in 2027
Allyson Felix is attempting a comeback at age 40 that could give her a chance to add to her Olympic-record medal haul two years from now in Los Angeles.
Felix, a mother of two, told Time Magazine that she has thought about coming back some four years after calling it quits and decided: "Let's go after the thing. Let's be vulnerable."
"You know, at this age, I should probably be staying home and taking care of my kids, doing all that. And just, why not? Let's flip it on its head," she said.
Felix has won 11 Olympic medals -- the most by any woman in track -- and has a record 20 medals from world championships.
She is a seven-time Olympic champion, with six in the relays and her lone individual gold coming in the 200 meters at the 2012 London Games.
Before retiring in 2022, she became an outspoken advocate for athletes who become mothers and want to keep their careers going.
Felix, who landed a spot on the IOC Athletes' Commission in retirement, has two kids -- 7-year-old Camryn and 2-year-old Trey.
She said she expects to start full-time training with her coach, Bobby Kersee, in October with the goal of competing in 2027. The Olympics will be in her hometown a year later.
"I totally get the person who sticks around too long and you're like, 'What are they doing?'" Felix said. "I know, at 40, I am not at my peak. I have no illusions about that. I'm very clear in what it is and what I want to see. And so I hope it's seen that way."

Singer D4vd had “significant” amount of child porn on his iPhone
A preliminary hearing for jailed singer D4vd was held on the 1-year anniversary of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death.
The L.A. County medical examiner announced Celeste suffered multiple stab wounds that caused her death on April 23, 2025.
The “Romantic Homicide” singer appeared in court on Thursday, wearing a jail-issued orange uniform.
Prosecutors told the judge, D4vd’s iPhone contained a “significant” amount of child p*rn that requires special handling. Friends said he previously bragged that he had 100’s of hours of p*rn recorded with underaged girls.
The defense attorneys told the judge the prosecution had not turned over evidence to the defense. The prosecution claimed to have over 40 terabytes of data collected from the singer’s devices and iCloud storage accounts.
The data includes police body cam videos, livestream videos, DNA evidence, photos, cell phone videos, and forensic reports.
Prosecutors said they will turn over all evidence to D4vd’s defense team. The prosecution advised the defense to provide a 10 terabyte hard drive for data from D4vd’s iCloud account alone.

Jimmy Kimmel Reacts to Melania Trump's Statement, Defends His 'Widow' Joke
Jimmy Kimmel is speaking out to defend his “expectant widow” joke about Melania Trump.
The late night talk show host opened the Monday (April 27) episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live by addressing the statement made by Melania earlier in the day.
Ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend, Jimmy did a pretend-monologue on his talk show to imagine what he might have said on stage if he was asked to be the MC.
“Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel joked, obviously referring to the age gap between the president and the first lady.
Two days after the shooting at the dinner, Melania and Donald both released statements condemning Kimmel‘s joke and called for ABC to fire him… yet again.

“Jeopardy” champ Jamie Ding's historic winning streak ends at 31 games, just shy of James Holzhauer
Jamie Ding's historic Jeopardy winning streak has been snapped.
The 33-year-old, self-described "bureaucrat and law student" won 31 consecutive games, leaving him one shy of 2019 contestant James Holzhauer.
Ding walks away with $882,605 in total winnings, placing him fifth in regular-season winnings on the all-time leaderboard.
Jamie Ding played a fierce game, but his historic Jeopardy winning streak ends here.
The 33-year-old, self-described "bureaucrat and law student" finally lost on Monday's episode, leaving him with 31 consecutive wins. That places him at No. 5 on the Leaderboard of Legends' ranking of contestants who've won the most consecutive games. It also leave him just one game short of tying James Holzhauer, the pro sports gambler who won 32 games in a row in 2019, and also holds the record for single-game winnings, having amassed $131,127 in one night.
Ding walks away with $882,605 in loot, putting him in fifth place in terms of all-time regular-season winnings behind 2022 champ Amy Schneider. He'll also be back for the next Tournament of Champions.
Ding has charmed Jeopardy viewers far and wide with the sincere yet often silly personal facts he's shared with host Ken Jennings every episode since his March 13 debut.
Ding revealed his secret to winning was all in the buzzer timing, but Greg Shahade took over as champion on the April 27 episode, leaving
Fans have especially glommed on to his love of the color orange, which he revealed in an early episode, and has referenced in each since by donning the color. "I insist on wearing orange everywhere, so I think that might make it easier," he recently old PEOPLE, noting that he's now attained a level of fame such that "strangers will come up for a selfie and I like it. It's fun."
When asked what he plans to do with his winnings, Ding revealed, "There are some causes I would like to support… some organizations could really use the money because the federal government is making so many cuts and things are getting so expensive and it's a tough time out there for so many people."
A New Jersey resident and the child of Chinese immigrants, Ding added, "I haven't committed to anything definitive yet, but it's tough out there for immigrants. I've always wanted to be doing good things for others and now I'll have significantly more power to do that."
However impressive his run was, Ding could have played for days, weeks, and months longer, and kept winning, and never even touched Jennings' record.
The official replacement of the beloved Alex Trebek following his death in 2020 at the age of 80, Jennings garnered international notoriety for his unstoppable winning streak back in 2004. The former software engineer won 74 consecutive games, stretching from June 2 to Nov. 30.
He's followed in the consecutive-win rankings by Schneider, who won 40 games in 2022, and Matt Amodio, who won 38 games in 2021.
Gayle King Signed Only a One-Year Deal with CBS News
*CBS News made a point of telling the world that Gayle King had a bright future at the network. Now, new details about the terms of her stay are raising eyebrows.
King inked a deal spanning just twelve months — a notable contrast to the expansive future the network had publicly promised. Sources tell Page Six that insiders suggest her position on the morning broadcast may be less settled than CBS has let on, with speculation mounting that she could eventually shift into a role resembling that of former co-anchor Norah O’Donnell, who transitioned from the “Evening News” to a senior correspondent position.
The contract news lands after months of behind-the-scenes tension. King’s future at CBS became a topic of intense speculation last fall when Bari Weiss, a polarizing figure in media circles, was installed as CBS News editor-in-chief amid sweeping changes tied to Paramount’s $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media. The transition triggered staff reductions and a broad reshaping of the network’s editorial direction.
King chose her words carefully when the subject came up publicly, addressing the rumors during a December 2025 appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show. “I saw those rumors. What I say is this: ‘I’m not going to negotiate in the press,'” she said. “I hear one thing in the building and one thing outside of the building. I’ll be reading one thing, and I’m like, ‘that’s not true.'”
She also acknowledged an undercurrent of tension without elaborating. “I’ve decided I’m going to stay out of the drama — and there is some drama,” King said.
King and Weiss eventually sat down for lunch in January, and CBS moved quickly to present a united front following their meeting. Weiss called King irreplaceable, saying “there is only one Gayle King,” while the network celebrated their renewed partnership. One source, however, tempered the enthusiasm, describing the one-year extension as existing only “for now” and pointing to “a lot of uncertainty surrounding the morning show at large.”
CBS is pushing back on the narrative. A network spokesperson told Page Six that rumors about King’s contract “have been demonstrably false for months” and reaffirmed she is a “truly valued” part of the organization. King has anchored CBS’s morning programming for over a decade and remains one of its most prominent on-air personalities.
