#RHOA: Cynthia Bailey Poses In Wedding Dress With Fiance Mile Hill!
Cynthia Bailey and her FOX Sports fiance are getting a taste of a dress and tux to come months before they officially say "I do" ... and the photo-op appears to be an official celebration of their engagement.
The 'RHOA' star was seen doing a photo shoot Sunday with Mike Hill outside the J.W. Marriott Essex House Hotel in NYC, where they were rocking pretty standard wedding attire ... especially, Cynthia who seemed to be wearing a bride's dress or something like it.
Some folks might think they've already tied the knot – But they have not! More so, what makes us think these are engagement pics instead of an eloping is that Cynthia and Mike haven't put out photos like these when they first became fiance and fiancee. They did acknowledge the engagement in a sweet IG post, but nothing to this level.
A few months late, but hey ..congrats to the happy couple!!!
#Empire: Bryshere Gray Reportedly Gets In A Food Fight With 7-Eleven Clerk!
Bryshere Gray, the actor who portrays Yazz, a.k.a. Hakeem Lyon, on Empire, reportedly told police he engaged in a food fight with a 7-Eleven clerk after she falsely accused him of spitting on the floor of the convenience store.
TMZ obtained body cam footage showing the actor being questioned about the altercation inside the Orlando store last month. Gray claims the incident began because the man he was with spit on the floor and the cashier didn’t approve.
He then says the employee snapped, and even after he began cleaning up his friend’s spit, she allegedly threw something at him. That’s when Gray says he retaliated by throwing a bag of chips at her before leaving. He believes surveillance footage of the incident will back up his story.
The clerk’s perspective is quite different. She claims Gray is the one who spit on the floor and threw numerous items at her. She's asking officers to press charges against the actor, as she believes surveillance video will prove her story to be true.
TMZ reports that no arrests have yet been made due to conflicting stories and lack of apparent physical injuries. The surveillance footage is still being reviewed.

Lizzo Quits Twitter and She also Raises Money for Australian Fire Relief!
On Sunday, the singer, 31, announced she was quitting Twitter. “Yeah I can’t do this Twitter s— no more.. too many trolls… ✌🏾 I’ll be back when I feel like it,” her last tweet read.
The eight-time Grammy nominee also explained her decision to take a break from Twitter during an Instagram Live session shortly before her concert at the Sydney Opera House in Australia. “I just want to say that I, you know, I just took a DNA test and it turns out I quit Twitter. I quit Twitter. I’m off it. All social media is not created equal,” she said.
“I would love to be on Twitter ’cause I could connect with you people who positively support me… not to mention spreading my own positive messages,” Lizzo continued. “But now I’ve gotten to a point where I’m not just dealing with Internet bullies, I’m dealing with seeing a lot of negativity on the Internet dealing with everyone.”
The star added, “I can deal with internet bullies… but when I see how, not just insensitive, but hateful and hurtful we are towards each other. When I just log on every day and see something devastating and something tragic every single day. Even from my well of positivity, I feel it and it doesn’t feel good.”
Though she quit Twitter, Lizzo also told fans and followers that social media overall wasn’t healthy.
“Social media isn’t helping, Twitter isn’t helping. And I feel good. But I just wanted to say that. If you ever need to take a break from this s—, take a break from it. And breathe. … And if you feel negative, allow that feeling to happen and balance that s— out,” she concluded.
Lizzo has been performing all across Australia amid the country’s devastating brushfire crisis, which has claimed the lives of at least 17 people and burned through more than 11 million acres since it sparked in September.
During her Instagram Live, the performer said she would be collecting donations for fire relief. “I’m urging everyone who comes to my show tonight to donate to the firefighters, to the koala sanctuaries, the Australia red cross and just to people who lost their house,” she said.
“I’m a firm believer in all of us being connected and all of us part of this planet, and a global citizen,” Lizzo shared. “Moving into 2020, I just want to be really vigilant about the way the earth is moving. People who want to politicize climate change, just get away from my mentions. Unfollow me, don’t look at me, just pretend I’m blocked. Cause it’s not about that for me, I don’t understand how nature can be a political issue. You don’t have to be the most intelligent scientist in the world to notice that temperatures have changed.”
Reese Witherspoon Asked Jay-Z & Beyonce for Their Personal Champagne at Golden Globes 2020!
After their table ran out of water at the 2020 Golden Globes, Jennifer Aniston revealed that Reese Witherspoon went over to the powerhouse couple to ask for some of their personal supply of champagne.
“Reese!? This is one of the many reasons I love you. We ran out of water at our table so naturally she asked Jay Z and Beyonce for a glass of their champagne,” Jen wrote on Instagram along with a selfie of she, Reese, and producer Kristin Hahn holding up flutes of Jay‘s champagne.
While Jay and Beyonce arrived late to the awards show, Los Angeles Times reporter Amy Kauffman snapped a photo of the couple standing arm-in-arm while their bodyguard holds two bottles of Armand de Brignac Champagne aka “Ace of Spades.”
Jay bought Armand de Brignac back in 2014.
Mariah Carey Allegedly Shaded Whitney Houston When They First Met!
Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey might have had a special bond when Whitney Houston died in February 2012, but they were singing a different tune when they first met, according to legendary gospel singer BeBe Winans.
He said during an interview with Essence’s Yes! Podcast, that he urged Whitney Houston to extend the olive branch when the two ladies first met at an awards show, despite speculation that there was a feud between them.
“…That media thing that Whitney and Mariah couldn’t stand each other, right? Rivalry. They had never even met each other, right? So we were at the American Music Awards and I was telling Whitney… I said, ‘You know what, this is what you’re gonna do. When we leave, you’ve never met her, you stop right in front of her, and you reach out your hand and say ‘hi.” Whitney said ‘I’m not doing that.’ I said, ‘Yes you are. You’re gonna be bigger than all this stuff. I mean, we’re going back and forth and finally she says ‘Okay I’m a do it.'”
He added that the plan was for Houston to make the move right before they left the event, but Mariah Carey had a different response than Houston was expecting.
“Whitney stopped and I kept walking, and she spoke to Mariah. And so we’re walking and she catches up and she pushes me in the back and she said’ Walk fast! Walk fast!’ So we’re walking fast… she couldn’t wait to get in the car. We got in the car, when that door closed, she said ‘Boy! I ain’t never saying or doing anything you [say]… BeBe, oh my gosh I stopped and I turned around and I put my hand out and I said ‘Hi Mariah, I’m Whitney.’ She said Mariah turned her head like she didn’t hear nothing. Whitney said ‘The Jersey inside of me said grab her hair!'”
Mariah Carey also spoke on their alleged feud last month. She didn’t address their first encounter but said when they immediately established a friendship when working on “When You Believe” from the Prince of Egypt soundtrack roughly 20 years ago.
“Working with Whitney was an experience I’ll never forget. It was a bonding experience. Before that when we did the video, we really put all the rumors and nonsense behind us that there was a feud.”
“There was nothing, we didn’t know each other. Once we knew each other, we had the best time together and I was honored to work with her, so when I look at this picture, I’m really proud that we had this moment together.”
What do you think about Mariah Carey possibly shading Whitney Houston back in the day?
Will Smith & Martin Lawrence Admit 'Bad Boys For Life' Took Long Because 'The Script Wasn't Right'!
Will Smith is all smiles as he poses alongside his longtime co-star Martin Lawrence while attending their photo call for Bad Boys For Life held at Terrasse Du Cafe de l’Hommeon on Monday (January 6) in Paris, France.
The guys were joined at the press event alongside their writer-directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, as well as producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
In the new film, the Bad Boys Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are back together for one last ride together.
In a new interview with GQ, Martin explained why production on the long-awaited film was so delayed: “The script wasn’t right,” he said. “And Will [Smith], to his credit, refused to do the movie until the script was right. It wouldn’t have been a good movie. We didn’t want that. We wanted to do a sequel where people would go, ‘Oh, man, that’s what I’m talking about. It just gets better.’”
Bad Boys for Life is set hit theaters on January 17, 2020

Lady Gaga Opens Up About Sexual Assault And Mental Health: ”I Have Mental Health Issues, I Take A Lot of Medicine to Stay on Board”!
Pop superstar Lady Gaga sat down with Oprah Winfrey and opened up about taking medication, her mental health issues, and sexual assault on Winfrey’s 2020 wellness tour in Florida.
In front of a packed theater full of 15,000 people, Gaga spoke candidly about how she maintains mental health.
“I will put my shame in a box all the way over there and make it very small and say to myself, ‘I have mental health issues, I take a lot of medicine to stay on board, and I’m a survivor, and I’m living, and I’m thriving, and I’m strong, and I’m going to take all my life experiences, and I’m going to share them with the world and make it a better place,'” she said on stage at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.
According to CBS News, Florida was the first stop on Winfrey’s “2020 Vision: Your Life In Focus” tour. The Entertainment Guru partnered with WW Reimagined (formerly known as Weight Watchers) for the wellness tour.
Gaga got real with the Winfrey and audience and told them, “I take no narcotics at all. No pain medication,” she admitted. “I’m on antidepressants.”
The Grammy and Oscar Award-winning singer also revealed she suffered from PSTD and self-harm as a result of being raped by someone she knew growing up.
“I was raped repeatedly when I was 19 years old, and I also developed PTSD as a result of being raped and also not processing that trauma,” she told Oprah.
Gaga confessed that her meteoric rise to stardom served as a distraction that helped her avoid dealing with her trauma.
“I all of a sudden became a star and was traveling the world going from hotel room to garage to limo to stage, and I never dealt with it, and then all of a sudden I started to experience this incredible intense pain throughout my entire body that mimicked the illness I felt after I was raped,” she told Oprah. Gaga later said there should be mental health classes in schools, the publication reports.
She also divulged that she’s battling fibromyalgia, telling Oprah that she was in “head to toe pain” during their conversation.
“I remember sitting with my doctor,” she said. “His name’s Andy, and Andy’s like, ‘You need to radically accept that you’re going to be in pain every day.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? That’s how I’m going to heal, just by accepting that I going to feel awful all the time?'”
The singer claimed that with a regimen of medication, meditation, therapy, and exercise the chronic pain has lessened and become more manageable.
Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour is set to feature conversations with Jennifer Lopez and Michelle Obama, ending with Gayle King on March 7th in Denver, CO. The interviews will be posted on both her Facebook channel and the WW Now Facebook channel.

Comedian George Lopez Under Fire For Instagram Joke About $80-Million Bounty For Trump's Head!
Comedian George Lopez has come under fire for an apparent joke about an $80 million bounty for President Donald Trump's head.
The 58-year-old comic wrote, "We'll do it for half," responding to an Instagram post about the purported bounty, which was suggested at a funeral procession for Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on Sunday. Soleimani was killed in a U.S. airstrike Friday.
Trump Accuses Democrats of Casting Soleimani As a 'Wonderful Human Being'
A eulogist at the procession, broadcast live on Iran's state-owned Channel One television network, apparently called for the $80 million bounty while addressing crowds in the city of Mashhad. "We are 80 million Iranians. If each one of us puts aside one American dollar, we will have 80 million American dollars, and we will reward anyone who brings us [Trump]'s head with that amount," the unidentified man said.
There is no indication the bounty is endorsed by the Iranian government or Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
On Sunday, the Instagram account @chicanoworldstar, which has over 170,000 followers, posted about the supposed bounty. The post, which erroneously attributed the reward to Iranian officials, said: "#Iranian authorities have put a bounty on American President Donald Trump's head during the televised funeral of General #QasemSoleimani after he was assassinated last week. What are your thoughts?"
Lopez responded: "We'll do it for half."
The apparent joke is currently the top comment on the post and was quickly seized upon by right-wing social media users, who claimed Lopez was issuing a death threat against the president. Lopez's spokesperson told Newsweek: "It was absolutely a joke and that's it."
Ryan Fournier, co-chair of Students For Trump, tweeted: "George Lopez just said he'd assassinate President Trump for half of the $80 million dollar bounty. @SecretService should take a look at this. The Left is sick."
However, others defended Lopez, including comedian Kathy Griffin, who, in 2017, also faced backlash for holding up a bloodied Trump mask in a photoshoot.
Chris D'Elia wrote: "George Lopez is a really big comedian maybe you're not aware."
Lopez is a comedian best known for the ABC sitcom George Lopez, which ran for six seasons between 2002 and 2007. Lopez also hosted the short-lived TBS talk show Lopez Tonight between 2009 and 2011!
