#RHOA: Lisa Wu Confronts NeNe Leakes About Not Being Included in Her Speech About RHOA OGs
Lisa Wu takes issue with being left out of NeNe Leakes’ speech about the RHOA OGs.
NeNe Leakes‘ return and appearance on the current season of “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” has been a hot topic on social media. Interestingly, her return hasn’t been drama-free. Gizelle Bryant confronted NeNe about past comments she made to Karen Huger on the recent episode. Now Lisa Wu will do the same in the upcoming episode.
In a preview, Lisa tells NeNe that she felt disrespected by NeNe leaving her out of her speech about RHOA original housewives.
Lisa says, “Since you didn’t know another original…****, NeNe!”
NeNe says she didn’t know that Lisa was there.
“I didn’t see you. It’s a speech, people forget ****.”
Sheree Whitfield attempts to keep things peaceful, but Lisa is adamant about continuing the conversation.
“No, because she didn’t even say Lisa. I’m just saying, respect is respect. That’s all I’m saying,” says Lisa.
NeNe shows irritation at this point.
“Well, because I forgot. You want me to tell you one more time? I forgot.”
As Lisa goes on about not being included in NeNe’s speech, NeNe is over it.
“What are you saying, girl? Like, okay. Anyway, bye-bye. I don’t do these kinds of scenes, girl.”
When Sheree pulls NeNe aside to try to get her to understand where Lisa is coming from, NeNe says she does understand, but she genuinely forgot to mention Lisa.
“I’m ******* old, *****. I forget ****. I don’t know what the **** I just did a few minutes ago.”

#MusicNews: Beyoncé Releases ‘B’Day (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)’
Beyoncé is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her second album, B’Day, with an expansive commemorative edition.
B’Day (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is a 31-track set featuring the previously shared “Morning Dew (Donk),” rare and unreleased B-sides and Spanish recordings.
Among the added tracks are “Can I Watch You,” produced by Beyoncé and Pharrell, and “My First Time,” a song she originally recorded for her debut album, Dangerously In Love. Longtime BeyHive members can rejoice with the inclusion of gems such as “Lost Yo Mind,” “Creole” and “Back Up.”
There are several Spanish-language songs, including collaborations with Colombian artist Maluma and Queen of Tejano Music, Selena. Maluma appears on “Cuerpo Tumbao (Get Me Bodied),” while the Estate of Selena granted use of her vocals on “Irreemplazable (Como La Flor).” The latter song samples Celia Cruz’s “La Negra Tiene Tumbao.”
Reflecting on B’Day 20 years later, Beyoncé said in a statement, “I wanted the album to be big, percussive, hard, up-tempo, and energized, and it was important to me that we used live instrumentation.”
She continued, “Hip-hop was taking over at the time, but I was fighting to preserve the bridges, melodies, and harmonies that have always been at the heart of R&B. The goal was to blend those two worlds through the art of sampling. I loved the minimalism of a beautiful vocal arrangement over a simple drum loop or a classic guitar like ‘Irreplaceable’…but only if that 808 was banging underneath.”
In addition to the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, Bey also had the music videos from the album remastered, re-colored and finished in 4k, including the Sophie Muller-directed “Deja Vu.” (Editor’s Note: The video does not appear on Bey’s official YouTube channel at the time of this publication. Once it is uploaded, this story will be updated to include it.)
Released Sept. 5, 2006, B’Day debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 541,000 copies in the first week. The album is home to some of her most iconic material, including “Deja Vu” featuring JAŸ-Z, “Irreplaceable,” “Ring the Alarm” and “Get Me Bodied.”
B’Day won Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007. In the same year, the album was reissued with a deluxe edition that included the Shakira-assisted hit “Beautiful Liar.”
Circling back to the 20th Anniversary Edition, the album is also available on vinyl and CD. The Deluxe Vinyl is a 4LP pressed on 180G Bayou Blue. It includes all the tracks on the digital deluxe except “Cuerpo Tumbo” and “Irreemplazable (Como La Flor).” It also comes with a 60-page commemorative booklet and two collectible double-sided art prints. Meanwhile, the standard 2LP vinyl includes “Morning Dew (Donk)” and a 16-page collectible booklet.

#HipHopNews: KRS-One Plans to Create ‘Little Hip Hop’ Section in Newark and Other Cities Around the World
KRS-One wants hip-hop to be honored in a historical area on the East Coast.
In a recent roundtable that included fellow rapper Fat Joe, the “Sound of da Police” artist informed the group that he seeks to develop a “Little Hip-Hop” section in underserved cities globally. KRS seeks for the area to be similar to cultural neighborhoods like Little Italy or Chinatown, both used to describe areas that are heavily populated with predominately Italian or Chinese people and businesses dedicated to their heritage.
"Just like you have Chinatown, or Little Italy, or Little Armenian, Brooklyn, they got a Little Caribbean and Flatbush, why can't we have a Little Hip-Hop in every city in the world?" KRS said. "A Little Hip-Hop, just like you got a Little Chinatown, give us a little section, the most deprived section of your town, give it to Hip-Hop."
KRS-One added his hopes to "centralize Hip-Hop in a section of a city" and "bring jobs into that section" along with investments. "All the entrepreneurs that work with Hip-Hop have a place to set up your business. We're attracting global tourism as well to the city."
The rapper shared that Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras J. Baraka has accepted the proposal for Little Hip-Hop to span across the city. Newark currently has a hip-hop-based museum named The Temple of Hip-Hop, described as “the first international cultural center,” which was established in 1996 and founded by KRS-One.

Janet Jackson Might Have Major Engagement News Coming?
Janet Jackson and Mustapha Farrakhan are fueling engagement speculation after months of sightings.
Janet Jackson might have pulled off one of the smoothest romantic disappearing acts in celebrity history if this latest engagement rumor has any truth to it.
Media Take Out is reporting that Janet may be preparing to marry Mustapha Farrakhan, son of Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. That would make marriage number four for the legendary singer, but before anybody starts shopping for wedding gifts, nobody involved has publicly confirmed an engagement.
Still, this rumor did not materialize from thin air. Janet and Mustapha have been spotted together multiple times. Earlier this year, reports connected the two after they were seen together in Detroit at the New Edition, Toni Braxton and Boyz II Men concert. Essence noted that they had been seen together on several occasions over roughly the previous year, although neither had confirmed they were romantically involved.
Now things are getting considerably more interesting.Janet celebrated her 60th birthday on May 16 with an intimate gathering of friends and family. The actual celebration is confirmed. La Toya Jackson, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Johnny Gill and others were among those reportedly present. Janet later shared footage from the festivities and thanked everybody for the love.
And guess who was reportedly there? Mustapha Farrakhan.
A Jackson family fan archive identifying attendees in Janet’s birthday footage listed Mustapha among the guests. That certainly does not prove somebody is shopping for tuxedos, but they have been dating for a minute.
Media Take Out claims people close to the Jackson family believe an engagement announcement could be coming. That portion remains firmly in rumor territory.
Janet has historically guarded her romantic life like classified government material, so expecting an Instagram relationship rollout might be asking a lot. Remember, this is Janet Jackson. Privacy is practically another instrument in the band.
At 60, however, perhaps Miss Jackson has another surprise waiting.
Are we looking at friendship, romance or marriage number four?
Until Janet says something, I am keeping the champagne refrigerated.

Mr. T Slams The “White Man” For Rewriting His History In Netflix Doc
Mr. T is furious with Netflix, and he’s not holding back about the upcoming documentary that’s supposed to tell his story.
The streaming giant’s dropping “Untold Mr. T: I Pity the Fool” on September 8, but the man himself says the filmmakers completely botched the narrative by focusing on the hardman stereotype while erasing his real legacy.
According to the legend, director Scott Weintrob and his team built him up just to tear him down, and he’s calling it exactly what he sees it as: an attempt to control the story.
“That’s what we call, in the black community, a white man wanting to change the story and control the narrative,” Mr. T told The Guardian. “If you don’t know me, you’re gonna think I’m some monster.”
The documentary pissed him off because it glosses over decades of ministry work, homeless outreach at the Midnight Mission and Fred Jordan Centre, and his partnership with Nancy Reagan on the “Just Say No” anti-drugs campaign.
His pastor got 30 seconds on screen. Meanwhile, former agent Peter Young gets prominent placement to trash his decisions, and the film highlights his role in the comedy “Freaked” as if it’s some career low.
Mr. T’s career spans from bouncer at Dingbats nightclub to “Rocky III” as Clubber Lang in 1982, then “The A-Team” from 1983 to 1987, making him a global icon.
But the documentary chose to highlight his demands for white limousines and specific hotel amenities instead.
“I’m not supposed to tell you what I like?” he asked, frustrated. “I’m just supposed to take what you give me?”
When he finally saw the finished product, he had to pray for self-control.
“I said, ‘Lord, don’t let me go off. Don’t let me go off.’ Cos I wanted to go off on Netflix,’” he said.
What people forget is his connection to Hip-Hop culture.
In 1984, Ice-T co-wrote “Mr. T’s Commandment,” which hit number 75 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Other tracks included “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “Mr. T, Mr. T (He Was Made for Love),” and “Treat Your Mother Right.”
He was rapping about respecting your parents and staying away from drugs when most people only knew him from television.

Taraji P. Henson Shocks Fans In Orange Bikini During Cabo Getaway
Taraji P. Henson’s Cabo bikini photos have fans convinced she’s aging backward, but her trainer reveals the real secret.
Taraji P. Henson turned heads after she posted vacation content that had her followers questioning everything they thought they knew about aging.
The 55-year-old actress shared photos and video clips on her Instagram Stories from a girls’ getaway at Nobu Hotel Los Cabos in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and the internet collectively lost it.
She was rocking a skimpy orange bikini with strappy heels, walking around the luxury resort grounds like she owned the place, flinging her long braids and posing up a storm in the Mexican sunshine.
The getaway wasn’t just any vacation either. Taraji and her crew stayed in a luxury suite complete with a private pool, private gym, and their own butler, according to reports.
They relaxed poolside while eating toro tacos, chips and guacamole, and lobster salad, basically living their best lives.
But what really caught people’s attention wasn’t just the vacation flex. It was how incredible her body looked, which sparked a whole conversation about her fitness journey and whether she’d had cosmetic work done.
Taraji shut down those rumors months ago when she responded to fans who suggested she’d gone under the knife.
She was blunt about it, posting in all caps: “I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MY DAMN FACE. I AM ON BROADWAY!!! LIVE THEATER WHEN THE HELL WOULD I HAVE TIME FOR A SURGERY.”
She’s been putting in serious work with her trainer, and she’s not shy about sharing the details.
Back in June 2024, Taraji opened up about her fitness goals and the intensity of her routine.
“I’m ready to transition my body, and I want to see my body look like what I haven’t ever seen it look like before,” she said. “So we’ve been working really, really, really hard.”
She revealed that she’s been waking up at 4 A.M. to prepare for training sessions that start at 5:30 A.M.
“I stripped the weight down, that extra fat. That’s what you have to do in order to build,” she explained.
Her trainer Mike T has been instrumental in this transformation, and he’s nothing but impressed.
“Taraji is very disciplined in the gym,” he told InStyle. “She’s the type of person that if you tell her she can’t do something, she’s definitely going to want to do it even harder. Her focus is second to none.”
The routine is no joke. Taraji starts with 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical, Peloton, or treadmill, depending on her mood.
She’s into boxing and battle ropes for upper-body and core strength, and she focuses heavily on lower-body work with leg raises, squat walks, and kettlebell deadlifts.
Her birthday’s coming up on September 11, and based on how she’s looking, the celebration’s gonna be legendary.

Kelly Rowland Named Brand Ambassador for OLAY
Kelly Rowland has joined beauty brand OLAY as its newest brand ambassador.
Under her new partnership, the Grammy-winning star will help spotlight the OLAY Super Collection, a lineup of skincare products to help rejuvenate skin.
“My life is always moving, so I like to keep my routine simple,” said Rowland. “OLAY Super Serum is an easy choice for me because it gives my skin a natural-looking glow without adding extra steps. It has become one of those products I can count on in my daily routine. I remember my first time applying the product, seeing that glow and thinking, ‘My skin is popping.’”
Gwynedd Davis, Procter & Gamble’s brand vice president of North American skincare, added, “Kelly brings confidence, authenticity and a real understanding of what it means to balance a full life without sacrificing personal care. That makes her a natural partner for the OLAY Super Collection.”
Davis continued, “Women lead incredibly full lives, and Kelly is no exception. The demands of packed days can take a toll on skin, but it does not have to look that way. OLAY’s Super Collection helps skin bounce back while fitting easily into an existing routine. Effective skincare should feel less like one more thing to manage and more like a simple way to keep up with life.”
In a joint Instagram post with OLAY, Rowland revealed three of her favorite products from the Super Collection:
Super Serum: At the heart of the collection, with a beautiful iridescence that leaves skin glowing while helping build resilience.
Super Body Oil: Locks in moisture and leaves skin instantly luminous, complemented by indulgent notes of pistachio cream, vanilla and caramel drizzle.
Super Serum Glow Remix Body Wash: A new limited-edition, Walmart-exclusive that brings the collection’s signature glow to the shower, featuring a luxurious, harmonious blend of floral, herbal, vanilla and soft wood notes.
Rowland’s partnership comes ahead of her anticipated new music. The singer has been in the studio with heavyweight producers, including Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, The-Dream and Troy Taylor.

Prince’s estate shuts down ‘Timeless’ AI rumors
The estate of Prince is pushing back against fan speculation that artificial intelligence was used on Timeless, the late musician’s recently released posthumous album. NPG Records and The Prince Management Team addressed the controversy directly through an Instagram statement, offering clarity about the album’s production while hinting that more music from Prince’s vault is on the way.
Timeless features 10 previously unheard tracks recorded between 1977 and 2016, spanning early demos, studio work from the ’80s and ’90s, deeper cuts from the 2000s and a 2016 live performance of How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore?
The song at the center of the controversy. The debate centered largely on Calabama, a track whose credits, timing and arrangement raised questions among fans, many of whom suspected AI had been used to complete the recording.
The estate explained that at the bridge of Calabama, Prince’s vocal can be heard calling out for “horns,” but the archived multitrack contained a synthesizer filling that space instead. Consistent with Prince’s known songwriting and production approach, a group of horn players who had previously performed with Prince were brought in to overdub the synthesizer with the intended horn arrangement. All of Prince’s original recorded parts remained intact.
The overdub featured trombone, saxophone and trumpet, performed by Greg Boyer, Adrian Crutchfield and Lynn Grissett — all musicians with close ties to Prince. The estate confirmed all three were credited in the album’s packaging, countering claims that their contributions had gone unrecognized.
The team was direct: no overdubs were used on any other recording for Timeless, and no artificial intelligence was used on any Prince music.
Looking ahead, the estate expressed its intention to share more recordings from Prince’s archive, describing the vault as massive in both size and historical depth. Many of the recordings exist in unfinished forms, but the team made clear that this would not prevent them from being released. Greater detail about future projects, they noted, would be provided going forward.
The estate acknowledged that not every fan will agree with every decision made, particularly around completing unfinished recordings. Still, it welcomed honest questions and open dialogue, asking only that the conversation be carried out with kindness, respect and the values Prince was known for promoting.
Timeless features 10 previously unheard tracks recorded between 1977 and 2016, spanning early demos, studio work from the ’80s and ’90s, deeper cuts from the 2000s and a 2016 live performance of How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore?
The song at the center of the controversy. The debate centered largely on Calabama, a track whose credits, timing and arrangement raised questions among fans, many of whom suspected AI had been used to complete the recording.
The estate explained that at the bridge of Calabama, Prince’s vocal can be heard calling out for “horns,” but the archived multitrack contained a synthesizer filling that space instead.

Rob Reiner wins posthumous Emmy for “The Bear” 9 months after his death
Rob Reiner won the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy for his performance in The Bear at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The award comes nine months after Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed at their home.
Reiner faced Michael J. Fox, Connor Storrie, and Brett Goldstein at the ceremony held in Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday.

Rob Reiner has won a posthumous Emmy award for his performance on The Bear, nine months after his death at age 78.
Reiner faced tough competition at the 78th annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which were presented at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday. His performance as Albert Schnur on "Tonnato," a 2025 episode of The Bear, was nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category alongside performances by Connor Storrie, Michael J. Fox, and more.
Though Fox's turn as Gerry on the Apple TV series Shrinking was favored by some to win, presenters Wendi McLendon-Covey and David Alan Grier called out Reiner's name after the nominees were read out.
"It's appropriate to stand for this one," McLendon-Covey told the audience. "I know we all wish Rob could be here tonight to share in the celebration, I'm honored to accept this Emmy on his behalf."
The full category included Reiner, Fox, Storrie (Saturday Night Live), Brett Goldstein (Shrinking), Hamish Linklater (Widow's Bay), and Christopher McDonald (Hacks). Though The Bear has previously been, well, a bear at past Emmys and Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies, the series lost in the cinematography, editing, and sound mixing categories as well.
The win is the third for Reiner, who won his first Emmy for playing Michael "Meathead" Stivic on All in the Family in 1974, and his second for the same role in 1978. He was also nominated in two categories in 2024 for the documentary Albert Brooks: Defending My Life, which he directed.
Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Dec. 14. The couple's 32-year-old Nick Reiner, has been charged with murder in connection with their killings. He has been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty in February.
The legendary filmmaker's award win is the latest bit of good news to shine through to Reiner family. Earlier this week, news broke that the Reiners' eldest son, Jake Reiner, had married his fiancée Maria Gilfillan in August.
Judge Freezes D’Wayne Wiggins’ Estate Payouts as $700K Family Fight Gets Messier
*The family battle over late Tony! Toni! Toné! co-founder D’Wayne Wiggins’ estimated $700,000 estate has escalated, with a judge temporarily blocking money from being distributed while relatives continue fighting over his final wishes.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the judge issued a temporary order prohibiting Wiggins’ estate and trust from distributing funds to third parties. The restriction reportedly includes donations to his foundation, scholarships and other grants.
The judicial intervention comes six months after EURweb reported that Wiggins’ daughter, Ilahn Wiggins, had challenged the handling of her father’s estate following his March 7, 2025 death.
Ilahn previously said her father left assets valued at approximately $700,000 and questioned whether relative Veleta Savannah had legitimate authority to control the estate. The family dispute centers in part on a new will and trust Wiggins allegedly executed shortly before his death.
Savannah is now pushing back with a potentially significant piece of evidence.
According to TMZ, Savannah claims in legal filings that Wiggins was examined by a doctor before his death and was found to be alert and capable of managing his affairs or directing others to act on his behalf. She claims the doctor also determined Wiggins did not require assistance managing his finances.
Savannah says Wiggins executed the disputed new will and trust the day after that medical evaluation.
Wiggins’ children have challenged that account. They contend their father was taking heavy medication near the end of his life and question whether he was capable of making legally binding decisions when the documents were signed.
Savannah denies those allegations. She maintains that Wiggins intended to place her in control of the estate and deliberately chose to disinherit his children.
Neither side’s account of Wiggins’ mental capacity has been established as fact by the court.
The legal fight adds a painful chapter to the legacy of the Oakland musician, guitarist and producer who helped create some of Tony! Toni! Toné!’s biggest hits. Wiggins died at age 64 after battling bladder cancer.
For now, the temporary order effectively puts a hold on at least some movement of estate and trust money while the dispute plays out — leaving the court to sort through competing claims over what Wiggins wanted and whether the documents reflecting those wishes are legally valid.

The Odyssey retakes top spot at global box office in week 8, knocking Spider-Man: Brand New Day to No. 2
The Odyssey has surged back to No. 1 at the global box office in its eighth week of release, earning $45.9 million.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day fell to No. 2 in its sixth week, taking in $44.1 million.
Both films have had the box office in a headlock since mid-July, but Practical Magic 2 may finally summon enough magic to break their hold on the top spot.
Sure, Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength, out-of-this-world agility, and web-slinging tech, but what’s any of that to a 12th century BCE warlord?
After eight weeks in theaters, The Odyssey isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s seafaring epic of capricious men and their undoings retook the top spot at the global box office this weekend, six weeks after Spider-Man: Brand New Day first slung to No. 1 and stayed there.
The Odyssey shored up $45.9 million, just barely edging out Brand New Day, which earned $44.1 million, per Rentrak. As it stands, The Odyssey has now grossed $1.6 billion over the course of its history-making run in cinemas, while Brand New Day boasts $2.4 billion. That makes The Odyssey the most commercially successful film of Nolan’s career, and places it at No. 14 on the global box office’ all-time list of top grossers, where Brand New Day sits at No. 3.
And that’s just the weekend gross through Sunday, with millions more expected to come through on Labor Day.
These stupendous showings are a boon not just to Nolan, his cast (Tom Holland, Zendaya, and more), and his studio (Universal), nor just to Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton, his cast (Tom Holland, Zendaya, and more), and his studio (Sony); they’ve made 2026 one hell of a year for the box office history books.
According to Rentrak data, by Thursday, the summer 2026 domestic box office had reached the second-highest position on record. The best-summer-on-record title for the domestic box office goes to 2013, with films like Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2, and Man of Steel boosting the overall gross to $4,756 billion. 2026’s total currently sits at $4,643 billion.
It isn’t just The Odyssey and Brand New Day that have helped make box office history this year. This weekend, Coyote vs. Acme held strong in the No. 3 spot domestically with an $11.3 million take, making for a $33.8 million gross. By Any Means, an action two-hander starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg, premiered to $7.4 million, and Insidious: Out of the Further, the horror franchise’s sixth entry, added $6.5 million to its domestic gross, which now sits at $54 million.
Globally, the feature-film continuation of the Indian thriller series Mirzapur opened to $13.6 million, earning it the No.5 spot on the leaderboard. The Chinese hit Once Upon a Time in the Middle East also held firm with an $11.6 million take, making for a $295.6 million gross solely from Chinese theaters.
It has been two months since a film that was not The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day topped the box office. The two films’ box office dominance might finally change next week, when Practical Magic 2 flies into theaters Sept. 10, bringing with it all the combined powers of Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Stockard Channing, Diane Wiest, Joey King, and Maisie Williams. Releasing 28 years after the original, Susanne Bier’s sequel hopes to succeed at the box office where its predecessor fell short, recouping only $68.3 million of its estimated $75 million budget.
