#MAGFAB: Nicki Minaj Is On The Latest Cover Of "Vogue Italia"
Nicki Minaj looks great on the cover of the latest edition of Vogue Italia. She sat down with the outlet for a lengthy interview in which she discussed new music, motherhood, dealing with fame, and much more. For the photoshoot, she rocked clothes from Balenciaga, Miu Miu, and more.
Fans on social media are loving the cover. In the comments of Vogue Italia's Instagram post, they've been showing tons of support. "That bottom line of this cover is EXACTLY how I describe you to people lmfao. I love this for you SO much already! Let me get ready to read this article on the treadmill this morning while Freedom plays in the background," one user wrote. Another added: "That face card got absolutely NO competition."
At one point during the interview, she discussed the sacrifices she's made to become one of the most iconic rappers in history. She explained: "As a woman, I put off becoming a mother. A lot of women in the industry, especially older than me, never had children. Some don't regret it, but others do. I put it off. And I didn't go to every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, or birthday party because I had to work to support my family. I think the price was not having a 'normal' life. Things are different now, because I can give my son things I never had, but there are things I want to make sure he has, and I still need to figure out how to give them to him. When we go out, for example, I have to worry that someone will take his picture. So every day I have to ask myself: is it more important to go for a walk with my son, or to make sure he doesn't get photographed?”
Elsewhere during the interview, Minaj provided some insight on her next album. “I’ve got a bunch of really strong tracks, but I don’t want to rush. I want the record to mean something, both for the fans and for me. I’ll never be one of those people who puts out songs just to put them out. I love music. I respect it," she said. She also mentioned wanting to get back on the road once it does release. She added: “[I want] to experience it all again, as soon as possible. For me, and for the Barbz.”
Minaj didn't provide any further details on who she might be collaborating with on the project, but she did name several of her favorite young artists at the moment. “Sabrina Carpenter. I didn’t know she’d been around that long when I started listening to her. A breath of fresh air. I like Billie Eilish. I love everything she does. Then there’s a dancehall artist… his name’s Skeng," she said.
#RHOA: Kandi Burruss Gives An Update on Husband Todd Tucker and Mama Joyce’s Relationship and it's the same!
Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker tied the knot in a lavish wedding in 2014. The elaborate celebration was filmed for a wedding special that aired on Bravo. I will never forget the lions at the entrance to the venue. However, Kandi’s mom was not on board with her daughter marrying Todd. Later, it seemed as if relations between Mama Joyce and Todd improved. Sadly, it sounds as if Mama Joyce is once again unhappy about Kandi and Todd’s marriage.
Kandi Burruss hopes things will get better between Mama Joyce and Todd Tucker
As you may recall, Mama Joyce said that Kandi made “lemonade out of lemons” when referencing Todd. To say that Kandi was upset by that comment was putting it mildly. Still, she married her man and they welcomed two children.
During a recent Amazon Live, Kandi read a fan question. “Danielle says, ‘How’s your mother and Todd getting along?’” Welp, Kandi’s facial expressions said it all. “Not great. Let’s see. Friday, they did pretty good. The kids, Ace and Blaze, had graduated from their school,” Kandi explained. “So, they was doing pretty good. But by the time I got back from my trip the other day, my mom, she wasn’t feeling me again.” Kandi added, “She was back to not feeling us. So, hopefully, it will change.”
I mean, Kandi’s professional life is on point. The busy entrepreneur also recently served as a producer for the play Othello on Broadway. It starred Hollywood A-lister Denzel Washington.
Still, Kandi seems to be dealing with drama behind the scenes. After a bout of laughter, she stated in her Amazon Live, “Y’all just don’t know what I really … like all this stuff that y’all see online, that stuff is like, who cares? But this stuff, this stuff that I really be dealing with, y’all just do not understand, okay?”
Fingers crossed that Kandi can resolve this drama with her Mama soon.

THE JIG IS UP! Elon Musk Announces Exit From Trump Administration After Criticizing “Big Beautiful Bill,”
Was it worth it? X is asking the billion-dollar question after Elon Musk, aka Phony Stark, announced he is leaving the Trump administration.
Musk announced on the platform he allegedly sold to xAI that his time leading DOGE has come to an end. He also wrote in the same post that he was thankful to Donald Trump for allowing him to run the “cost-cutting” agency, which, however, didn’t achieve significant cost-cutting results.
The Tesla chief was appointed as a “special government employee,” which allowed him to work for the federal government for 130 days. Musk came on board on January 20, Felon 47’s inauguration, which means his tenure would be coming to an end at the end of May.
Elon Musk’s announcement comes after the billionaire criticized his former boss’s legislative centerpiece of his Trump’s political agenda, his “big beautiful” budget bill.
“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote on X.
“The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”
Speaking with the BBC, Musk explained why he was not feeling Trump’s “big beautiful bill.”
The BBC understands that the White House will begin “offboarding” Musk as a special government employee on Wednesday night.
Musk’s exit comes after he said he was “disappointed” with Trump’s budget, which proposes multi-trillion dollar tax breaks and a boost to defence spending.
The SpaceX and Tesla boss said in an interview with BBC’s US partner CBS that the bill would increase the federal deficit, adding that he thought it “undermines the work” being done at Doge.
Musk’s association with the MAGA movement has also not been beneficial for his business, which has been struggling since he invested in Trump and the Make America Great Again initiative.
Tesla is currently experiencing a slump in Europe, with sales plummeting by nearly 50 percent, which many believe is also the reason Musk decided to step back from politics.
Social media has been using the moment to take shots at Musk, as well as point out that he used his time as a donor to Trump to ensure he stays wealthy despite his business taking a hit.

Diddy’s Former Stylist Reveals His Nicknames For Cassie During Trial Testimony
Diddy‘s sex trafficking trial has focused a lot on his alleged physical abuse of Cassie, beyond the traumatic video shared from their stay at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. His former stylist revealed that he had several nicknames for her that were degrading as well.
Deonte Nash testified in court this week, claiming that the controversial mogul would call his ex-girlfriend “baby girl, CC, bi**h, slut, h*,” according to People. Nash worked for Puff from 2008-2018, coincidentally the same period that he dated the “Me & U” artist, and specifically stated that “bi**h” was “his fave.” He added, “He would say, ‘She was nothing but a slut anyway.'”
Attorneys asked Nash how Cassie would respond to these harsh monikers, and he claimed that they made the 38-year-old singer “sad” or she would “go into a depression.” Nash additionally shared how the Bad Boy co-founder would manipulate his former partner by threatening to send out her sex tapes or “beat [her] a**,” which “drove her crazy” and made her “super emotional” to the point that “she might stay in the house for days.”
Deonte Nash’s testimony corroborates what Dawn Richard, a former Danity Kane member who is also suing Diddy for sexual assault, said in her testimony. She claimed that he “owned” Cassie and would regularly be violent toward her anytime she defended herself. “He would drag her and kick her and punch her in the mouth,” Richard said.
Cassie herself took the stand and spoke about her traumatic experiences in his “freak-offs,” namely having moments where men would urinate in her mouth to the point she would choke on it. She also claimed that he abused her when they took a trip to Drake’s OVO Fest in Toronto and lunged at her with a wine opener when he learned that she was dating Kid Cudi. Cudi, multiple sex workers, and former assistants also have taken the stand, adding more color to these situations, which all align with initial findings when the former REVOLT chairman’s homes were raided last year.

Former NBA Star Shawn Kemp Pleads Guilty To Assault Charge For 2023 Shooting
Shawn Kemp got into a sticky situation in March 2023, which resulted in him allegedly firing a gun at two men in a vehicle. The former NBA star has pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, per an offer from the state that will yield a much shorter sentence than if he’d gone any other route.
The 55-year-old former hooper was initially charged with first-degree assault with a firearm enhancement, but prosecutors added another count of assault and a drive-by shooting charge last week. The Pierce County Superior Court presented him with a plea agreement in conjunction with the county Prosecuting Attorney’s office. They are recommending he serve nine months in prison, one year under supervision after he is released, and also pay restitution. Kemp will also no longer be able to possess a firearm and provide a DNA sample to law enforcement.
“Shawn is committed to moving forward in a positive direction,” his attorney Tim Leary told The Seattle Times. “He was presented with an offer from the state that allows him to take responsibility, but I think also recognizes the self-defense nature of how this transpired.
Shawn Kemp’s alleged shooting took place in a Washington state mall parking lot. His car was broken into while he and his cannabis dispensary employees were at a concert venue in Seattle, per the court documents. The robbers stole an employee’s purse, the keys to his business, a cellphone, paperwork, and game-worn Gary Payton and Kemp jerseys that he planned to auction off.
Kemp was able to find the robbers due to a phone tracking app, and they had a brief conversation. The men reportedly got rid of some of what they stole, but held onto the cellphone. Kemp found them again near the Tacoma mall, had another conversation where he “expressed his understandable frustration,” per the defense’s trial brief.
One of the robbers reportedly opened fire on Kemp first, causing him to shoot back and attempt to disable their vehicle. The robbers drove off, and their Toyota 4Runner was found abandoned days later. Neither of the men were injured, but their vehicle and another one were damaged.

Shawn Kemp played 14 seasons in the NBA, notably without ever stepping foot on a college basketball court. He was a premier forward and center for the Seattle Supersonics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Orlando Magic. Kemp’s resume includes six All-Star appearances and three All-NBA second teams.

Ladies you can get the Hot Girl Swimwear by Megan Thee Stallion All Summer Long
Summer is almost here, and you know what that means—swimsuit season is about to be in full swing. You and I both know you deserve a brand-new swim look (or two… or three...) to kick things off right. And the Hot Girl Coach agrees—just in time for summer, Megan Thee Stallion is launching her own swimwear line, Hot Girl Summer, with Walmart. And not gonna lie, I want one of everything. Expeditiously.
Available for a limited time only, this collection features swimsuit sets, two-pieces, and cover-ups in metallic finishes, vibrant hues, and striking details—perfect for adding a fun, upbeat energy to your beach or poolside look. The overall vibe? Think Y2K meets bold ’80s workout glam, with electric colors, playful textures, and nostalgic embellishments (hello, butterflies!). Whether you're all about the va-va-voom or lean toward something with a more understated edge, there’s something here to match your mood. And the best part? Every piece ranges from just $16 to $28.
It only made sense for Megan to add swimwear mogul to her résumé—after all, she's already a multi-platinum artist, Grammy-winning rapper, and the face of the Hot Girl movement.
“Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand,” Megan said. “It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it’s a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart, and I'm so grateful for their support.”
Every Hot Girl Swimwear piece comes with a built-in boost of confidence, fierceness, and savagery (Meg's way, of course) courtesy of Mother herself. <3 Like I said, this capsule won’t last forever, so don’t wait to snag your faves before they’re gone!
Mo’Nique’s Son Shalon Jackson Apologizes For 2024 Feud
“Making those videos a year ago was a betrayal against our family and I have to take full accountability for it. Why I made the videos and how I was feeling at the time when I made them is irrelevant. I made them and I shouldn’t have. My family did not deserve the backlash that they received from what I said.”
He also addressed how Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks spoke out about his mental health in response:
“My mother and Sydney were very justified to address my mental health condition at the time. I just simply didn’t like it. I should’ve just kept my mouth shut and called my mother.”
Shalon Jackson went on to say he regrets creating distance between himself, his mother, and his children.
He also shared private family photos showing Mo’Nique actively involved in his child’s life, making it clear they’ve since repaired their relationship.

Tiffany Pollard is returning back to House of Villains
I Love New York? More like E! loves New York. Tiffany “New York” Pollard will make her threepeat appearance on House of Villains, once again doing battle with the most dastardly dinguses reality TV has produced. E! released the full cast list for season three of the cross-show competition series, hosted by Joel McHale and featuring a big ejector chair. Besides New York, we have No. 1 best Deck Hand (as ranked by Vulture) Kate Chastain, Drag Race alum Plane Jane, and former reality realtor Christine Quinn in the mix.
But perhaps most excitingly for those going through Traitors withdrawal is the casting of Tom Sandoval. We’ve seen Sandy’s gameplay across two different shows: The Traitors and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Challenge. If you don’t remember the latter, that’s the one where JoJo Siwa literally carried him. Will he fare better on House of Villains than his fellow VPR castmate Jax Taylor, who was the first villain ejected ever? If so, he stands a chance of being the number-one guy in the group once again.

➽ Tyson Apostol (The Challenge, Survivor)

But perhaps most excitingly for those going through Traitors withdrawal is the casting of Tom Sandoval. We’ve seen Sandy’s gameplay across two different shows: The Traitors and Special Forces: World’s Toughest Challenge. If you don’t remember the latter, that’s the one where JoJo Siwa literally carried him. Will he fare better on House of Villains than his fellow VPR castmate Jax Taylor, who was the first villain ejected ever? If so, he stands a chance of being the number-one guy in the group once again.

Blake Shelton Responds to AMAs 2025 Backlash, Denies He & Gwen Stefani Chose to Do Pre-Taped Performances
Blake Shelton is responding to backlash over his performance at the 2025 American Music Awards.
Both Blake and his wife Gwen Stefani pre-taped their performances for the awards show and were not actually in the room on Monday night (May 26) for the live show.
Fans who attended the live event shared videos on social media of the performances playing on a big screen inside the Las Vegas venue instead of Blake and Gwen appearing on stage.
“The craziest part of the AMAS last night was being told ‘and here’s Blake Shelton live’ only for them to light up the stage like he’s there and never saying to us it was prerecorded. THEN, doing the same thing with Gwen Stefani!” a fan wrote on TikTok.
Blake took to Twitter to respond to the backlash.
“Just now seeing these stories about Gwen and I pretaping our performances for the AMA’s. We came and performed when the show asked us to.. Really nothing else to say. 🤷♂️,” he said.

Sheinelle Jones ‘Focusing on Her Family’ After Husband’s Death, ‘Today’ Return Date Unknown
Sheinelle Jones will remain absent from Today in the aftermath of her husband Uche Ojeh’s death.
“There is no timing on when she will be back,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Everyone is shocked and just so sad. Everyone can’t imagine what she’s gone through. She left in December and [has] been so quiet [and] focusing on her family.”
The insider noted that “nobody knew what was going on except very select people, the top executives and the main anchors.”
Jones, 47, has been absent from Today since December 2024. The following month, she explained via Instagram that she was taking a break from the NBC morning show to “deal with a family health matter.”
Details about the health issue were unknown until Savannah Guthrie announced on Friday, May 23, that Ojeh had died at age 45 after a private battle with an “aggressive form of brain cancer” known as glioblastoma.
“There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him,” Guthrie, 53, said on air. (Jones and Ojeh shared son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.)
Accompanying the announcement was a video package about Jones and Ojeh’s relationship. The couple met in the ‘90s when Jones gave her future husband a tour of Northwestern University. Ojeh popped the question on Northwestern’s campus eight years into their relationship, and the two tied the knot in Jones’ hometown of Philadelphia in 2007.
They became parents with the birth of Kayin in 2009, followed by Clara and Uche three years later. The couple were each other’s biggest supporters over the years, with Uche cheering on his wife as she ran her first New York City marathon in 2023 and Jones supporting him as he completed a triathlon earlier that year.
Following the video package, Jones’ Today colleagues paid tribute to their late friend on-air. “We just want to say Sheinelle, Kayin, little Uche and Clara, the Ojeh family, we are with you,” Guthrie stated. “We love you. You are our family, and we are just sending all of our love to you right now.”
Craig Melvin shared that Ojeh loved his three kids “more than anything else in this world,” adding, “[He] was just so proud. He was that dad that was on the sideline at every soccer game, he was at all the concerts and recitals. He was that guy.”
Al Roker described Ojeh as a “private guy” who was “wickedly funny” and “humble,” while Jenna Bush Hager praised Jones for finding “the grace in the grief” amid her family’s difficult time.

Beyoncé Helps Couple with Baby Sex Reveal in Sweet Onstage Moment at Cowboy Carter Tour
Beyoncé made an expecting couple's night one to remember when she paused her Cowboy Carter Tour performance to announce the sex of their baby
She promised the couple that she would reveal the results of the envelope after returning to the stage later that night
"It's a boy! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it," she said onstage in New Jersey
Beyoncé has once again made another couple’s dream come true by assisting with the sex reveal of their baby.
On night four of the singer’s Cowboy Carter Tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Beyoncé, 43, glanced at different fans’ signs in the audience when she noticed a specific request. “First born, Carter,” she said, reading the words of the fan’s sign into her microphone. “Gender reveal. Right now? I’ll be back,” she said before exiting the stage in fan-captured footage.
All hope was not lost for the couple. After Beyoncé changed out of her all-red leather outfit to an all-black jumpsuit featuring American flag-themed flared bottoms, she kept her word. “I’mma take my time,” the mom of three said before grabbing and opening the couple’s envelope. The camera then zoomed in on the piece of paper the musician was holding in her hand that read, “COWBOY” in black and blue writing.
“It's a boy! God bless you. Congratulations,” she began as the crowd cheered. “Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it.” The moment was shared in several videos posted to social media on Wednesday, May 28 — including one by her mom, Tina Knowles.
"Wow!!!! Who takes the time and does a gender reveal when they are wet and cold? I was like Girlllllll you gonna get sick. 😂😂❤️❤️," Tina, 71, captioned the clip recorded by a fan
This isn’t the first time that Beyoncé has assisted with a gender reveal while on tour. In July 2023, during a stop at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany, on her Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé paused the show to highlight a fan's sign that asked for Bey's help with their gender reveal.
"I wanna do this right, because, since the beginning of the show, I’ve seen this sign that says: 'Do my gender reveal,' " she said at the time. "I just want to do it right! Do I have to open the envelope?"
"Can somebody hand me the envelope, please?" Beyoncé asked. The “16 Carriages” singer then said "girl" into the microphone, in a tone similar to her 2011 hit single "Run the World (Girls)."
"Congratulations! Congratulations, beautiful!" she said. "God bless you!"
Beyoncé’s most recent onstage gender reveal comes after her mom Tina explained how her superstar daughter enjoys her downtime when she’s not putting on a nearly three-hour performance.

D’Angelo Cancels Roots Picnic Performance Due to Health Concerns After Surgery
D’Angelo has withdrawn from his scheduled performance at the 17th annual Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, citing ongoing health challenges following a recent surgery.
The 51-year-old R&B icon shared the news on Instagram, expressing regret over the cancellation. “It is with the deepest of regrets that (I) must cancel my performance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia next weekend,” he wrote. “But, due to an unforeseen medical delay regarding surgery (I) had earlier this year, (I’ve) been advised by my team of specialists that the performance this weekend could further complicate matters.”
The Roots Picnic organizers responded with support, reposting D’Angelo’s message and adding, “We’re sending love and keeping him in our thoughts as he continues to heal!”
Despite the absence of the neo-soul pioneer, the festival, set for next weekend, boasts a robust lineup featuring Meek Mill, Lenny Kravitz, GloRilla, Miguel, Tems, Latto, Kaytranada, and Jeezy, as reported by Billboard. Maxwell has been announced as D’Angelo’s replacement.
D’Angelo’s career has left an indelible mark on music since the mid-1990s. He first rose to prominence co-producing “U Will Know” for Black Men United before his 1995 debut album, “Brown Sugar,” earned platinum status and critical praise for sparking the neo-soul movement. Its hit single “Lady” climbed into the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100. Collaborations with luminaries like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Angie Stone followed, cementing his influence.
His 2000 album, “Voodoo,” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with its lead single “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” securing a Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and the album winning Best R&B Album.
Despite his success, D’Angelo grappled with personal challenges, including struggles with alcoholism, which led to a period of limited musical output. He made a triumphant return with his 2014 album “Black Messiah,” which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200. That same year, he contributed the track “Unshaken” to the “Red Dead Redemption 2″ soundtrack.
As D’Angelo focuses on his recovery, fans continue to await his return to the stage.

LeBron Is staying put: Lakers Star Expected to Opt In for Year 23
LeBron James is not done yet. The arguable GOAT is reportedly leaning toward staying in Los Angeles for at least one more season. The Lakers icon is widely expected to exercise his player option for the 2025-26 season, locking in another chapter with the purple and gold, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. While James has not made an official announcement, signs are pointing to the four-time champion continuing his legendary career in the City of Angels.
Get this: James is sitting on a player option worth around $54 to $57 million as part of his current two-year deal, totaling $104 million. He has until June 29 to finalize his decision, but all signs suggest he will take the secure route and opt in.
“I’m told he’s likely to opt in,” Charania explained. “He’s got a player option, about 54 million, 57 million. He’s got a massive player option. That’s likely. That’s the plan. But, again, his option date is June 29th. So he still has about a month to figure that out. There’s going to be some hard conversations that are going to happen between him, the Lakers, seeing what this team looks like. Because, listen, LeBron James, whether he plays one more season or a few more seasons, he wants to be in a competitive environment.”
This significant decision could allow James and the franchise to recalibrate for one final push or potentially discuss a contract extension based on the player’s option. Either way, year 23 of LeBron’s career is shaping up to be something cinematic. With Los Angeles set to host All-Star weekend in 2026, the timing would be poetic for the NBA’s elder statesman to take his final bow under the bright lights of Hollywood.
“He’s probably going to opt in because the option is so big,” Charania continued. “And that gives you flexibility to figure out do you extend off that number or this is the final year, if this is the last hurrah, essentially. Year 23 for No. 23. They have All-Star weekend in Los Angeles. So, to me, it’s very storybook if that’s the way it goes. But that’s a decision that he’s gotta make.”
Get this, if he does return, LeBron would surpass Vince Carter for the most seasons played in NBA history. The two are currently tied at 22 seasons each.
LeBron’s most recent campaign was yet another testament to his longevity. At age 39, he became the oldest player ever selected to an All-NBA team after averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists across 70 regular-season games. His season ended in the first round of the playoffs after sustaining a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee during the series against the Timberwolves.
When it comes to a potential full-season pairing with Luka Dončić, who joined the Lakers in a midseason blockbuster trade from the Dallas Mavericks, that duo, if they can stay healthy and the front office secures a top-tier big man, could take the Lakers right back in title contention.
