#MAGFAB: Laverne Cox For Attitude Magazine UK
Laverne Cox has been unveiled as the new cover star for the latest issue of Attitude Uncut, accompanied by an in-conversation piece with Munroe Bergdorf – available exclusively on Apple News+ and the Attitude app.
The interview celebrates the Orange Is the New Black legend’s new memoir Transcendent, out 9 June 2026 in the US and 25 June 2026 in the UK.
Offering messages of empowerment to trans and gender-diverse people, the 54-year-old said: “I think the biggest thing is to have the courage of who we are and not let the voices of the oppressor infiltrate us to make us internalise the shame.”
“When I have the audacity to speak the truth the way I have now, I feel like myself” – Laverne Cox
“I genuinely love trans people – I think we’re magical, I think we’re amazing,” added Cox – also known for appearances in Promising Young Woman and Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen.
Discussing her journey from scared to empowered during the current political climate, the Emmy winner explained: “I’ve been scared. The past three years, I’ve been terrified.
“And as I lost opportunities, I felt like I should say less because I didn’t want to lose more. And I didn’t want to damage the community either.
“Even leading up to the 2024 election, I was like, ‘Should I not be so vocal?’ But what I’ve come to realise for me, just in terms of my own mental and spiritual health is that when I have the audacity to speak the truth the way I have now, I feel like myself. I feel empowered.”

#RHOA: Porsha Williams Mocked for Major Mistake at Toy Story 5 Screening
Recently, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams attended a screening for Toy Story 5. But when she posted about it, she got one major fact wrong. So, fans hysterically clocked her using every fitting meme possible, of which there are many. Never change, Porsha, for any future “265 days [per] year.”
Yesterday, Porsha posted several images of herself and her daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley, attending a screening for Toy Story 5. But in her post, Porsha wrote, “Toy Story 3 was such a cute movie with a great message!!” She also wrote, “Enjoy life to the fullest.” Fun times [with] family & friends,” followed by three hearts.
But as fans on Reddit giggled, her counting was off, per usual. They even started a whole thread about it called “Porsha Still Can’t Count.” Now, before we cover what they said, it’s important to note that Porsha has since corrected her post to reflect the number 5. That aside, let’s dive in.
Most of the comments in this Reddit thread contained memes from RHOA, showcasing Porsha’s other misspoken words. “This is 265 days a year,” read one. Another showed Kandi Burress correcting Porsha, letting her know that “The Underground Railroad wasn’t a train, baby.” This one received a lot of upvotes, with dozens of Redditors agreeing, “I think about this more than I should.”
And of course, there were also several scattered memes of NeNe Leakes either laughing or rolling her eyes with her whole chest. However, on a real note, these laughs were all in good fun. As many fans stressed, they “love” this woman. But also, perhaps she is “just a Toy Story purist and understands that the third installment was the proper end to the franchise, and so she doesn’t acknowledge anything after that.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

#NewMusic from Dave Hollister Releases New Single “Voodoo Magic”
R&B powerhouse Dave Hollister continues his return from his ten-year solo hiatus with the release of a new single, “Voodoo Magic.” The track, produced by hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg, is available now via the revitalized Death Row Records in partnership with gamma.
The release marks a significant full-circle moment for the veteran vocalist. Long before his multi-platinum tenure with the R&B group Blackstreet and his subsequent run of successful solo hits like “One Woman Man,” Hollister was a foundational voice in the early era of Death Row Records. His haunting vocal contributions helped define the melodic textures of West Coast hip-hop, most notably on classic Tupac Shakur records including “Keep Ya Head Up” and “Brenda’s Got a Baby.”
Now reunited with the label under the executive leadership of Snoop Dogg, Hollister’s return signals a new chapter for both the artist and the storied imprint. This follows the previously released single “Thought You Knew” from earlier this year.

NYC celebrates The World Champion NY Knicks historic NBA win with ticker-tape parade
Millions of fans decked out in orange and blue packed into Lower Manhattan for a massive parade that was one for the books on Thursday.
The NBA champions, the New York Knicks, made their way down the Canyon of Heroes, bringing with them all the celebrations of the Empire State’s first NBA win in 53 years.
After marching their way through the confetti, the winning team was presented with the keys to the city while singer Alicia Keys gave a live performance of “Empire State of Mind.”
Knicks starting 5 get keys to the city. The last time the stretch of Broadway between Battery Park and City Hall was covered in a sea of shredded paper was in 2024 for the New York Liberty championship win.
This marked the Knicks’ first-ever ticker-tape parade after the fiscal crisis of the 1970’s forced their 1973 celebration to be held only at City Hall.
This time, thousands of pounds of recycled paper were shredded into confetti and delivered to high-rise buildings along the parade route to shower the Knicks with a colorful pour.
As one of the most memorable seasons in franchise history, the celebration leading up to Thursday was ongoing.
On Wednesday, a young fan got to meet Jalen Brunson after winning a $5,000 lookalike contest in Washington Square Park.
One die-hard Knicks fan, Geraldine Bryant, arrived along the Canyon of Heroes before 6 p.m. Wednesday. She spent the night on the sidewalk, making sure she had a front row seat to a celebration that a generation of Knicks fans had only dreamt about.
New York City’s unsung heroes, the Department of Sanitation, were also ready to do the cleanup as soon as the last parade contingent wrapped up. As many as 650 sanitation workers made sure the streets were clean and ready to reopen as soon as possible.

Lil Nas X Opens Up About His Mental Health Journey
Lil Nas X has broken his silence about his mental health journey. On Wednesday, the “Old Town Road” singer, 27, shared a video on Instagram revealing he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“I’ve been in rehab for a few months. And since then, I’ve been back at home. Whether it’s in Atlanta with my family or in Los Angeles with myself, friends and whatnot, and trying to ground myself down to earth and get out of my head,” he began. “I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, which has been really helpful when I got my bipolar disorder diagnosis.”
He continued: “I feel like I had known for like the past few years. But I didn’t want to admit to it because I didn’t want to have to take medication and have people think different of me… Black, gay, bipolar. I’m like living life on like extreme hard mode.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, Bipolar disorder is a lifelong mental health condition. It causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. Formerly known as “manic depression,” it involves alternating cycles of emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and profound lows (depression).
Back in August, Lil Nas X was arrested in Los Angeles, California, on multiple felony charges, including three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. The incident reportedly began after police responded to reports of a naked man walking in the street. Upon their arrival, an altercation ensued, leading to the charges.
On Aug. 25, he appeared before a judge, waived his arraignment, and “pleaded not guilty to three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.”
The court determined that the incident was the direct result of a since-disclosed bipolar disorder diagnosis. Because of this, the judge suspended the criminal case.

Chris Brown $90M Lawsuit Ends In Mistrial
Chris Brown’s $90 million civil lawsuit resulted in a mistrial Tuesday, TMZ reports. The lawsuit was filed in December 2020 by his former housekeeper. She claims she was seriously injured when she was allegedly mauled by a Caucasian shepherd named “Hades.”
Maria Avila, the housekeeper, reportedly “suffered emotional and physical injuries after the large dog attacked her while she was taking out the trash at the property.”
After the attack, Avila reportedly required emergency surgery. She was also left with permanent disfigurement, vision loss, and nerve damage. Avaia filed the $90 million) suit against Brown alongside her husband and her sister, Patricia, who witnessed the incident.
According to Rolling Stone, Brown accepted partial responsibility during jury selection on Monday. He disputed Avila’s claims for several years.
Although he agreed that Avila was injured during the incident, he did not agree on the amount she should be paid. Also, if her husband and sister should receive compensation.
The trial began Monday but was abruptly halted by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Huey P. Cotton. He declared a mistrial after a juror allegedly researched the case online and shared the findings with the jury.
”Unfortunately, one of the jurors has violated my admonitions against searching the internet for information. And not only that, but he also shared it, and as a consequence, I have to declare a mistrial,” Cotton said.
Following the dismissal of the jury, Cotton ordered attorneys in the case to begin picking new jurors from the pool already awaiting assignment that day. Brown’s lawyers requested “a delay in the case to allow him to visit his newborn child in Las Vegas.” He is due back in court on Thursday morning.
Twelve days after the attack, Hades was euthanized on Christmas Eve 2001, Lost Coast Outpost reported. The aggressive dog was mysteriously found wandering the rural countryside of Humboldt County in Northern California.

Faizon Love Thrown In Jail, Says He’s Too Broke To Pay $250K Child Support Bill
Faizon Love’s claim that he made zero dollars last year didn’t stop a judge from hitting him with contempt charges and ordering 90 days in jail.
Faizon Love landed in a Tampa jail Tuesday after a judge decided his financial excuses weren’t cutting it anymore in a paternity dispute that’s been dragging on for years.
The veteran actor told the court he’s broke, claiming he made zero dollars last year and couldn’t scrape together the $250,000 that Tiffany Lee says he owes her for child support.
According to TMZ, his story didn’t move the judge, who slapped him with contempt charges and ordered him to serve 90 days behind bars.
The numbers he submitted paint a picture of someone struggling to stay afloat. Over the last five years, his highest annual income was just $13,000, according to court documents he filed earlier this year.
He also cited a medical emergency that kept him from showing up to an April hearing, but the court wasn’t interested in hearing more explanations.
When judges start issuing contempt orders, it means they’ve already heard enough.
His booking records confirm he’s being held in Hillsborough County on two separate contempt charges, both connected to his failure to comply with court orders in the paternity case.
This isn’t his first time tangling with the legal system.
Back in 2017, he was arrested at Columbus airport after a physical altercation with a valet.
His next court appearance is scheduled for July 2nd to address the contempt charges directly.

Chingy’s New Look Sparks Debate As Rapper Defends Himself Against Critics
Frens, Chingy debuted a new look, and social media wasted no time weighing in.
What started as a simple post showing off his shaved head quickly turned into a full-blown debate, with fans sharing everything from compliments and jokes to questions about his appearance.
Now, the rapper is setting the record straight. The rapper recently took to social media to show off a freshly shaved head, a sharp suit, and a confident new vibe.
While many fans applauded the transformation, others had plenty to say.
Sharing the photo, Chingy wrote:
“So I cut my hair off trying sumin different and I actually like it. Let me kno what yall think. No matter what is said I’m rocking it 😎🙏🏾 #bald #newlook #confident”
Chingy’s New Look Gets Mixed Reactions
The comments quickly filled up with reactions.
Some fans loved the new look, with one person writing, “You look handsome. You might get that pork chop 🤣🔥.”
Others couldn’t help but point out that Chingy now bears a resemblance to Montel Williams.
But as often happens on social media, the conversation eventually took a different turn.
Some commenters began speculating about everything from Chingy’s eyebrows to his sexuality, prompting the rapper to return to Instagram and address the criticism head-on.
In a video shared to his Instagram page, Chingy thanked supporters who appreciated his new look before shutting down rumors about his appearance.
“A girl said that I arched my eyebrows. I’m like, ‘Baby, I ain’t never arched my eyebrows a day in my g*ddamn life.’ Then another girl said I put on some lashes or some s**t. I’m like, ‘Baby, my mother had great lashes. I just inherited it from her.'”
Chingy also pushed back against the idea that men who are well-groomed should automatically have their sexuality questioned.
“Men these days that’s well-groomed, keep themselves together, like to look appropriate, look nice, they starting to say these men is gay and all this homo-sexual s**t. Y’all need to cut that s**t out.”
The rapper added that he believes some people are too quick to make assumptions based on how someone chooses to present themselves.
Whether you’re loving Chingy’s new look or still getting used to it, one thing is clear: the rapper has people talking.
Despite the criticism, Chingy appears completely comfortable with his decision and has made it clear he’s standing by his new style.
Do you think it’s a real photo, or could AI be part of the conversation?

Comedian Na’im Lynn Says Real Husbands Of Hollywood Was Originally His Idea not Kevin Hart
Comedian Na’im Lynn is opening up about what he believes is an overlooked chapter in the history of Real Husbands of Hollywood.
During a recent podcast appearance on @tfu.podcast , Lynn claimed the hit BET comedy series was originally inspired by an idea he came up with before the show was ultimately developed by producer and writer Chris Spencer. According to Lynn, he envisioned a different concept long before Real Husbands of Hollywood became a television hit starring Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin and others.
While discussing the show’s origins, Lynn suggested that the final version evolved into “something else” from the concept he initially had in mind. He did not accuse anyone of stealing his idea, but maintained that the project’s foundation began with conversations and creative concepts he shared before the series came to fruition.
Lynn also appeared to address his longtime friendship and professional relationship with Kevin Hart. During the conversation, the comedian hinted that Hart was not particularly supportive when it came to helping advance his film career, despite the pair working together for years. He did say he is supportive when it comes to comedy.
The comments have already sparked debate online, with some fans questioning whether Lynn deserves more recognition for his role in the show’s early development, while others defended Hart and pointed to the comedian’s history of helping fellow comics secure opportunities in entertainment.
Real Husbands of Hollywood premiered in 2013 and quickly became one of the network’s most successful scripted series, earning praise for its celebrity cameos and satirical take on Hollywood culture. Neither Chris Spencer nor Kevin Hart have publicly responded to Lynn’s recent remarks.

Vic Mensa Eyes Playing Prince After Major Deals Boost Hollywood Career
Vic Mensa has made it clear that portraying the iconic musician Prince in a biopic is his top acting ambition. This declaration comes amid a series of significant moves in Hollywood that highlight his growing presence in film and television.
During a recent interview widely shared on social media, Mensa expressed his strong desire to take on the role of Prince, emphasizing it as his ultimate goal. This ambition aligns with his steadily expanding acting résumé and recent strategic partnerships in the entertainment industry.
Mensa has already showcased his acting talents through notable roles. He portrayed Jamal, a reformed character navigating life in Chicago, on Showtime's The Chi. Additionally, he appeared as Quentin, a business mentor figure, on the Peacock series Bel-Air. These performances have helped him establish credibility as a versatile actor.
Interestingly, Mensa once played a character named Prince in the 2020 crime drama Akilla’s Escape, hinting that the idea of embodying the legendary artist has been on his mind for some time.
The timing of Mensa's aspirations coincides with Hollywood’s rising interest in music biopics. Recently, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael became the highest-grossing music biopic ever, signaling strong audience demand for films about legendary musicians.
Supporting his Hollywood pursuits, Mensa has inked important deals that solidify his foothold in the industry. He signed with ColorCreative, Issa Rae’s management company, specifically for film and television representation. In addition, he secured representation with United Talent Agency (UTA) covering all facets of his career. These partnerships demonstrate a clear, deliberate effort to expand his influence beyond music.
Adding to the significance of this moment, the Prince Celebration 2026 event recently took place in Minneapolis from June 3-7, honoring Prince’s legacy on what would have been his birthday, June 7. The city paid tribute with five days of live music and special events at Paisley Park and downtown Minneapolis, keeping the artist’s impact alive in popular culture.
With his combination of acting experience, strategic industry alliances, and clear focus on portraying one of music’s most iconic figures, Mensa is positioning himself to potentially bring Prince’s story to the big screen in the near future.

Chris Tucker Says He’s Been Celibate for Three Years
Chris Tucker says marriage is the only thing that will end his three-year stretch of celibacy. The comedian shared the news during a stand-up set in Las Vegas, TMZ reports.
Tucker took the stage Friday at The Wynn, where the venue required guests to seal their phones away before the show started. Audience members told TMZ that Tucker grew candid about his relationship status partway through the set.
“I’m celibate. I’ve been celibate for 3 years, but I’m really trying to get married. I give it to the love this time,” Tucker said. “I’m serious. No one believes me.”
Tucker said his niece remains unconvinced, despite her own belief in extraterrestrial life. “She believes in aliens, but she don’t believe I did that,” he joked.
He also recalled how women reacted when they learned he wasn’t intimate with anyone. Tucker described one exchange: “She said, ‘How much? How much … how much is it?’ I’m not selling it. I’m celibate! What is wrong with you people?”
Tucker’s comments arrive while he reportedly negotiates his return to the “Rush Hour” franchise. The first film hit theaters in 1998, and two sequels followed through 2007, combining for nearly a billion dollars at the box office.
Brett Ratner directed all three films before Warner Bros. distanced itself from him. Several women accused Ratner of sexual misconduct, allegations he has denied, and he was never charged.
Semafor reports that President Trump is a huge fan of the “Rush Hour” films and has quietly pushed for a fourth installment.

D4vd Secures Another Delay In Celeste Rivas Hernandez Murder Case
D4vd secures another court delay in his murder case, pushing the probable cause hearing to July 21 as his legal team reviews mounting evidence.
D4vd walked into the Los Angeles courtroom Wednesday in an orange jail uniform and waist shackles, his legal team already preparing for another delay in what’s becoming a pattern of postponements in his murder case.
The platinum-selling “Romantic Homicide” singer, 21, received his third hearing delay after his defense team requested additional time to review evidence, pushing the probable cause hearing from June 29 to July 21 with a status conference scheduled for July 7.
Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo found “good cause” to continue the hearing after reviewing a sealed declaration from one of Burke’s lead defense attorneys, Marilyn Bednarski.
The judge noted the upcoming hearing will span multiple days with numerous witnesses, and prosecutors must prove they have sufficient evidence to move forward with a jury trial.
D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, pleaded not guilty and nodded along as the judge spoke, his lead attorney Blair Berk declining to comment as she exited the courthouse.
The case centers on the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered remains were discovered September 8, 2025, in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla after the vehicle was towed from near his Hollywood Hills rental home.
Prosecutors allege D4vd met Rivas when she was 11 and initiated a sexual relationship when she turned 13, later paying a classmate $1,000 for a secret phone to maintain contact after authorities informed him of her age.
Prosecutors claim text messages between the two reference sex, pregnancy, and abortion, and that Rivas threatened to expose the relationship to destroy D4vd’s music career.
They allege he stabbed her multiple times after she arrived at his home on April 23, 2025, then stood by as she bled out.
The filing states D4vd purchased tools including chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool under a fake name, using the pool to prevent blood from spilling onto his garage floor before dismembering her body.
D4vd faces first-degree murder charges with special circumstance allegations of lying in wait, murder for financial gain, and murder of a witness, making him ineligible for bail.
He’s also charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains. Prosecutors discovered blood evidence in his garage matching Rivas’ DNA profile, and D4vd allegedly lied to friends and associates about the smell of decomposition in his home and vehicle.
The District Attorney’s Office has not yet announced whether it will seek the death penalty.
The July 21 hearing will determine whether prosecutors have built a strong enough case to proceed to trial.
