Rihanna Kept It Real About Her Man

In a video making rounds online, Rihanna appeared in a coordinated denim look featuring a red belt, beige heels, and a wet-look curly hairstyle that practically screamed confidence. With her flawless glam and undeniable presence, the Fenty founder gave fans a reminder that her face card remains undefeated as she flipped through a magazine featuring Rocky on the cover.

While holding the magazine, Rihanna proudly showed off the cover and praised Rocky’s involvement in bringing the iconic brand back into the spotlight. “And this is my n***a,” she said while making sure the magazine was front and center. “My baby daddy brought Vibe back. You know, the vibe has been lost. The vibe has been brought back. Oh my god, look. Right there.”

There’s nothing quite like low-budget Canadian sci-fi. Budget constraints don’t hinder the creativity of the cast and crew. Instead, the limitations let them run with whatever wild idea comes to mind, so long as it’s cheap. A sign this has happened is when a sci-fi series suddenly has most of the stories taking place on contemporary Earth. When Lexx Season 4 revealed it was going to do just that, fans wondered what to expect. How could the budget be less? After the oddly dark third season, what would the writers do to top themselves? The answer: Everything they could think of. 

Lexx Was Always Weird But Season 4 Is Very Weird

Lexx Season 4 feels like no idea was deemed too dumb to make it to air. Stanley Tweedle is the one who initiates alien first contact, Lexx eats part of the Amazon Rainforest, Kai learns the Earth is doomed to destroy itself, 790 turns traitor and sides with Prince, reincarnated as a human, who manages to get his lieutenant, Priest, elected as President of the United States. And then there’s what Xev is up to. 

After the wild season premiere, Xev winds up in Texas, with predictable results. A local boy become sobsessed with her, but so do his friends, so he kills them. Xev is in jail, where the Sherrif’s goth daughter, a reincarnated Lomea from back in Season 2, takes a liking to Xev. Naturally, that means Xev is forced to be the star of her internet show. You saw that twist coming, right? 

The show does find a groove. It’s insane, but it’s a groove. There’s an episode based on A Midsummer Night’s Dream that involves Stanley realizing what 1500 years of marriage to Oberon would entail, carrot probes overrun the country, the crew decides to live in the suburbs in the most delirious episode of the season that ends in a massive shootout. Oh, and Lexx, running out of power, eats the country of Holland for fuel. All very normal things. 

Dare To Be Different

Even at its very best, Season 2, Lexx was a bizarre show. Season 4 goes so far that some fans bail after the Season 3 finale. It’s understandable. The change of setting, the concept of past villains reincarnating as Humans, 790 going full evil, it feels like a different series. That feeling is on purpose. Lexx never embraced concepts like narrative cohesion. Every season is wildly different from the one that came before. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and it’s incredibly creative. 

You can say a lot about Lexx. It embraces low-brow humor, and there are sex references everywhere, but it’s not boring. The cast and crew take major swings in every episode, including a musical episode, making it the perfect binge for anyone bored with every modern sci-fi series playing it safe. Season 4 is bizarre. It makes very little sense, and it might turn Lexx into your favorite show. 

Lexx is now streaming on Tubi.

The ‘Right Thurr’ hitmaker told fans he wanted switch things up, and despite the major transformation, he made it clear that he was feeling it and wasn’t losing sleep over anyone’s opinions. “So I cut my hair off trying sumin different and I actually like it. Let me know what yall think. No matter what is said I’m rocking with it. #bald #newlook #confident.” As of right now, there’s no word on what led Chingy to make the change, but fans definitely want answers.

The Internet Sounds OFF On Chingy’s NEW Appearance

After The Shade Room reposted Chingy’s photo, the comment section was flooded with reactions. Plenty of folks said they were feeling his new look, while others admitted the fresh cut wasn’t hitting to them. Peep some of the reactions below.

Instagram user @unlishme wrote, “Ok I like the way u did it right thurr 😍” 

Instagram user @artystackz2.0 wrote, “Damn he prettier then me 😏”

While Instagram user @nicole.bombshell wrote, “Black men are so handsome.” 

Then Instagram user @jammyralove wrote, “I had some really wild thoughts that aren’t appropriate… but that is a handsome man RIGHT THUR.”

Instagram user @tmactini wrote, “Iono.. it don’t look bad but He gotta rough the look up a bit 😂” 

Lastly, Instagram user @mizzcourtneyr wrote, “I don’t like the way he do it right thurrr.” 

Did Chingy Really Go Bald?

It’s still unclear whether Chingy actually decided to cut his hair. Some fans flooded his Instagram comment section saying that they think AI might be behind the photo, while others said they simply can’t get over the switch-up since they’re used to seeing him rock a shape-up and low fade. For now, fans continue to speculate about whether he’s just having fun with the internet or if he’s really committed to the major transformation.

Courtroom headlines continue to follow Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

Just as attention surrounding Lively’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni began to cool, a separate lawsuit has pulled Reynolds into a new dispute.

The actor’s company is now tied to a multi-million-dollar case stemming from a traffic accident in Manhattan, with two women claiming they suffered serious injuries during the crash.

The legal battle centers on a March 2024 collision involving a Tesla owned by Reynolds and a Toyota van operated by Access-A-Ride, a transportation service for disabled passengers.

According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Bronx residents Kawanna Coleman, 54, and Taji Kelly, 53, have each filed lawsuits connected to the accident. Together, the claims seek approximately $5 million in damages.

Although Reynolds was not inside the Tesla at the time of the crash, the vehicle was allegedly being driven by one of his employees in Lower Manhattan.

The lawsuits also name Access-A-Ride and the van’s driver, Nasriddinov Nodirjon, as defendants.

While Reynolds’ name appears on the Tesla’s insurance paperwork and he is the registered owner of the vehicle, the legal action was filed against his company, 2382 Walker Holdings LLC, rather than against him personally.

Questions Surround The Early Morning Crash

The collision reportedly occurred on March 2, 2024, in New York City’s TriBeCa neighborhood.

Court filings allege that the Tesla, which had only recently been purchased, changed lanes in front of the Access-A-Ride vehicle before allegedly stopping suddenly at a traffic light.

The lawsuit claims wet road conditions and rain made it difficult for the van’s driver to stop in time, resulting in a rear-end collision.

Photos reportedly taken after the crash showed substantial damage to both vehicles. The Tesla allegedly suffered dents and scratches to its rear section, while the Toyota sustained heavy front-end damage, including a detached grille and a bent hood.

The filings accuse both drivers of “negligence, carelessness and recklessness” in connection with the incident.

At this stage, the allegations remain claims contained in court documents and have not been proven in court.

Ryan Reynolds Company Pushes Back Against Claims

The two women involved in the case allege they suffered significant injuries as a result of the collision.

According to Kelly’s lawsuit, she sustained “severe and permanent personal injuries” following the accident.

Coleman’s filing alleges she suffered “injuries to various parts of her head, body, limbs and nervous system,” with the injuries reportedly requiring hospitalization and extended bed rest.

To defend against the claims, Reynolds’ company has retained prominent New York law firm, Wade Clark Mulcahy.

Court filings from the defense argue that the women were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash and contend that this contributed to their alleged injuries.

The case has also become more complicated because the New York Transit Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority were named as defendants.

However, both agencies are seeking to withdraw from the litigation, arguing that neither the vehicle involved nor its driver was officially registered with the Access-A-Ride program.

Ryan Reynolds Property Company Drawn Into Legal Fight

The company at the center of the lawsuit has a direct connection to Reynolds’ real estate holdings.

Records show that Reynolds established 2382 Walker Holdings LLC in October 2012 to facilitate the purchase of a property in Pound Ridge, New York.

The home, reportedly valued at $5.7 million, is shared by Reynolds and Lively and sits roughly 50 miles outside New York City.

Although the lawsuits were originally filed separately, a judge has since linked the cases together because they stem from the same collision.

A status conference hearing has been scheduled for September 10 in New York Supreme Court.

Legal Spotlight Follows The Reynolds Family Again

The latest lawsuit arrives shortly after another high-profile legal dispute involving the Reynolds family dominated entertainment headlines.

Blake Lively recently resolved her widely publicized lawsuit against her “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni before the case reached trial.

The actress alleged that Baldoni launched a campaign to damage her reputation after she accused him of sexual harassment during production of the 2024 film.

Baldoni denied the allegations and maintained that he neither harassed Lively nor orchestrated any effort to harm her image.

The actor and director later filed a countersuit against both Lively and Reynolds, accusing them of defamation and extortion. That countersuit was ultimately dismissed by a judge.

Now, with a separate legal battle unfolding in New York over the Tesla crash, Reynolds once again finds himself connected to another case attracting public attention. While the outcome remains uncertain, the matter is poised to keep the Hollywood star’s name in court records for months to come.

Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, are rumored to be getting married at Madison Square Garden in early July, almost a year after their engagement.

While the couple has yet to officially confirm the reports of their wedding venue, business owners in the area are said to be already dreading the day and what such a massive event might mean for them.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift recently set tongues wagging after making an appearance at MSG for the NBA Finals, where the Knicks pulled off a historic 29-point comeback victory against the Spurs.

Swift and Kelce’s upcoming nuptials are bound to be the talk of the town come July, when the couple is expected to tie the knot in New York City.

However, according to TMZ, some business owners around Madison Square Garden are not too excited about the news of such a highly anticipated ceremony taking place in the area.

The frustration for the establishments, mostly restaurants and bars, seems to stem from the lack of information about the event, particularly when it comes to security-related issues that might arise due to the wedding.

Some business owners who spoke with the news outlet said the event might be a “disaster” for them if it is anything like the recent lockdown New Yorkers experienced during President Donald Trump’s attendance at the Knicks’ game on July 3.

The News Of The Couple’s MSG Wedding Has Left Business Owners ‘Irritated,’ And Some Are Even Seeking Compensation

More entrepreneurs expressed frustration about the upcoming nuptials, with a small business owner on West 31st Street saying that he wasn’t expecting Swifties, fans of the pop star, to patronize him on the wedding day, unlike regular NBA fans who tend to go to his place for the games, despite tight security.

Another business owner, on West 33rd Street, admitted the MSG wedding rumors made him feel “super irritated,” as a lot of people will likely avoid the area on what would be a Holiday weekend during the ongoing World Cup.

This particular individual then suggested that Swift and Kelce should compensate business owners around the garden, due to the inconvenience that may arise as a result of their wedding ceremony.

One more small business owner, in the chat with TMZ, joked that Swift and Kelce should consider taking their nuptials somewhere else that isn’t MSG.

Unfortunately, such a move this close to the wedding is likely impossible, as Swift is said to have rented out the garden for three days, paying retail price for the venue, which usually costs around $1 million per night.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s MSG Wedding Venue Might Be A ‘Distraction,’ Sources Claim

While some top media outlets are certain Swift will be marrying Kelce at the MSG on July 3, a new report claims the venue leak is all part of a plot to distract people from the more intimate and small ceremony that will take place away from the 20,000-seat arena.

According to sources who spoke to the Daily Mail, Swift and Kelce’s wedding will likely not be held at the garden, but the venue would still play a major role as part of their planned celebrations.

“Taylor’s official wedding will not have 1,000 guests,” an insider told the news outlet. “There is a private and highly secure ceremony planned for her closest family and friends.”

They continued, “Guests of the wider party have been encouraged to donate gifts to charity, but her actual wedding will be a small, intimate gathering. There is something [else] associated with MSG.”

Top Notch ‘Security Screening’ Of Wedding Guests At MSG

Another insider shared that Swift and Kelce’s guests will arrive at Madison Square Garden for the ceremony before being taken elsewhere after a security screening.

“QR codes are going to be sent to guests,” the second source said. “The only instructions they have are to arrive at MSG on July 3. The codes haven’t gone out yet.”

“A lot of guests think this may be a security screening to [then] go elsewhere because MSG is equipped for that with their facial recognition, etc. But something involving the wedding is set there,” the source added, hinting that the venue would serve a bigger purpose.

The tight security measures come as no surprise, as Swift herself reportedly ditched sending out traditional save-the-date invitations in hopes of keeping her wedding plans as secret as possible.

The singer was said to instead be calling up her loved ones to notify them of their big day, while still withholding the precise wedding venue.

Taylor Swift Made A Head-Turning Appearance At MSG For The New York Knicks

Away from all the wedding planning, Swift made a surprise appearance at Madison Square Garden for the NBA finals.

The singer, who was notably with friends and no fiancé in sight, caused a stir as usual while cheering on the New York Knicks in their face-off against the San Antonio Spurs.

Swift rocked a blue top that read, “Stevie Knicks,” a nod to rock music legend Stevie Nicks, with her longtime pals, Alana and Este Haim, matching her energy by wearing equally punny shirts with the words, “Knickleback” and “Knickole Kidman” written boldly on them.

While Kelce was absent, reportedly due to a commitment he had with his NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs, the football star made up for it by supporting his fiancée at her Songwriters Hall of Fame induction event in New York.

Da Brat has the internet doing a double take after a new video surfaced showing the rapper serving looks and confidence while getting camera-ready. The clip quickly made its rounds online, with fans sounding off after catching a glimpse of the hip-hop icon stepping out in a new look. And, lets just say it had many doing a double take and wondering if they’d ever seen Da Brat quite like this before.

Da Brat’s Dressing Room Moment Goes Viral

In the video circulating online, Da Brat appears to be in a dressing room as a makeup artist touches up her glam with a brush. The rapper rocks a head full of curly hair with red tones and streaks while wearing a matching denim outfit that hugged her figure and showed off what her mama gave her. Da Brat later shared footage from the photo session on Instagram, joking in the caption, “Why are people reposting this?”

Folks Forget Da Brat Been Has It Like That

As soon as the video started making its rounds, fans wasted no time running to The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section and running it all the way up. Some users pointed out that Da Brat had “always been fine” and simply kept it covered under her signature baggy clothes. While others jokingly wondered if she looked like this the whole time. And, of course, a few commenters had jokes, asking whether former flame Allen Iverson might be thinking about spinning the block after seeing the viral clip.

One Instagram user @fitnessiam said, “YO IVERSON YOU PEEPING THIS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣”

This Instagram user @dominiquechinn shared, “Her and her sister fine, them good genes 🧬 😍”

And, Instagram user @seikojewelry.co added, “Fine as wine under them construction work clothes she be wearing 😍”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @iamtammijean claimed, “I find it hilarious that ppl don’t know she been had BODY!! Under all dat baggy shyt… she just got thicker wit it 😍”

While Instagram user @kweenmocha shared, “Hiding all that under them John Cena shorts really pissed me off 😩😂”

Lastly, Instagram user @truly.ese wrote, “She had no business being a stud“

Why Is The Internet Losing It Over Da Brat?

For longtime fans, the reaction may have less to do with the outfit itself and more to do with the image many people have associated with Da Brat throughout her career. The rap icon, born Shawntae Harris-Dupart, is known for her ’90s style, often rocking oversized jerseys, baggy jeans, and a signature tomboy aesthetic that became part of her identity. So when the viral clip showed her confidently stepping out in a more fitted denim look, some social media users admitted they weren’t ready. While Da Brat has always carried that same confidence, fans joked that seeing her switch things up had the internet collectively saying, “Hold on now!” as they flooded the comments with reactions.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Widow’s Bay Episode 9.

One of the best parts about watching TV is coming up with your own theories about what will happen next, but what can make a series even more impressive is when the writers create truly original twists that flip those theories on their head. Apple TV’s new hit series, Widow’s Bay, has now proven one popular fan theory completely wrong, but the way the information is revealed just so happens to play out in one of the funniest scenes on television this year.

Widow’s Bay’ Episode 9 Features One of the Show’s Funniest Scenes

Episode 9 of Widow’s Bay starts with a fierce storm descending upon the island. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) reluctantly agrees to sound the emergency siren and alert people to gather in a storm shelter underneath Town Hall for everyone’s safety. It’s clear by this point that the curse hasn’t truly been broken, and Patricia Moyer (Kate O’Flynn) discovers the reason why: Richard Warren (Hamish Linklater) actually still has one living descendant. Wyck Crawford (Stephen Root) informs Tom that he has asked Rosemary (Dale Dickey) to look at the Warren family genealogy to discover who this person might be. What transpires after that is a hilarious five-minute monologue in which Rosemary reveals the results of her research. In all the chaos of the storm, she’s somehow found the time to make transparencies so she can conduct an entire presentation on an overhead projector instead of merely telling them who the descendant is.

Rosemary’s gruff voice starts rattling off the entire Warren family tree, which starts way, way back in the 1600s. From there, she goes through every single member of the family, hilariously riffing on the reasons why various descendants didn’t continue the line (“dead baby, dead baby, lesbian…”). This rundown of several centuries of Widow’s Bay history is complete with side comments about two siblings marrying each other and an apparent murder mystery (“The husband did it”). Tom, Patricia, and Wyck exchange frustrated glances, increasingly dismayed by how long the story is taking but not brave enough to interrupt Rosemary during her spiel.

The entire scene is incredibly funny and offers plenty of background on an important family in the lineage of Widow’s Bay, but it also serves as a masterclass in comedic timing from Dickey, who turns something as small as a smoke break into a hilarious bit. Rosemary has clearly spent time on this presentation, and her colleagues are going to sit and listen to every bit of research she’s uncovered. Yet this hysterically funny scene in the penultimate episode of Widow’s Bay‘s first season does hold significance to the story, while offering the actors involved another chance to showcase their comedic skills.

One of ‘Widow’s Bay’s Biggest Fan Theories Is Hilariously Subverted in Episode 9

Many fans previously theorized that Tom’s wife, Lauren (Meredith Casey), and his son, Evan (Kingston Rumi Southwick), were Warren’s true descendants. This would’ve explained the mysterious turn of events when Tom and Lauren tried to leave the island for her to give birth to Evan. Instead, Rosemary reveals that Warren’s last living descendant is none other than their sweet, doddering, and very old co-worker, Ruth Livingston (K Callan). With this surprise twist, Widow’s Bay sticks to what it does best — zig when most shows would zag. The spirit of the show (and of the town of Widow’s Bay itself) is that you never know where danger is going to lurk, or what insane lengths a person will have to go through to save themselves. By choosing Ruth as the descendant, the show’s writers have set up an exciting and intriguing plot point. Will Tom and Wyck actually go through with killing Ruth in order to end the curse? Will viewers get more answers about the circumstances surrounding Tom’s wife? Will anything bad happen to the residents of Widow’s Bay if Ruth is out of the picture?

While it’s unclear whether any other fan theories about the show will end up panning out, one thing is for certain: Widow’s Bay never relies on traditional opportunities for humor. What other show could take a genealogy presentation and turn it into one of the best scenes on television? With inventive writing and spot-on performances, the horror-comedy is a must-watch, especially with the finale looming. Thanks to the confirmation that Widow’s Bay has been picked up for a Season 2, this means that there’ll be even more episodes to explore this cursed island, and even more chances for laughs.
