Slim Thug probably should have kept his recent conspiracy theory about Ciara and Russell Wilson’s relationship to himself. Ciara decided to clap back at the Houston rapper after he told local radio station 97.9 the Box that her romance is a sham. “Do a woman who used to talk to Future really want a Russell Wilson?” Thug asked on Thursday. “I don’t believe it. I think it’s all for financial stability.” Now, Ciara is here to remind everyone that she’s grown, and she’s not repeating the same old mistakes of relationships past. “There comes a point in your life when…
Nicki Minaj is putting herself first. The “Chun-Li” rapper may be single, but that doesn’t mean she’s not dating. In a sneak peek for the season 16 premiere of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs Tuesday, the daytime talk show host gets Minaj to talk about her current love life. “Why?” Minaj replies, as Ellen DeGeneres explains how last time Minaj was on the show she revealed that she was with Nas. “No. I didn’t say I was with Nas,” the hip-hop star quips back. “I said I chilled. I hung out with him and he and I are still…
Before the musical royalty known as Beyonce and Jay-Z appeared between the cracks of giant video screens, holding hands as they descended on a platform, the words “This is Real Life” flashed to the audience. It’s a message worth remembering throughout the couple’s blazing 2 ½-hour production, an emotional study of love and forgiveness as much as it is a stunning spectacle worthy of its massive environs. At the first of their two concerts at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Saturday night (this one was packed to the rafters, but some seats are available for Sunday’s encore) during their “On the Run II”…
Omotola Jalade Ekehinde has revealed the reason behind her non-appearance in many blockbusters in recent times. According to her, the reason for her absence from the movie scene is the inability of directors to pay her. She disclosed this at the weekend during a question and answer session with fans on her Instagram page. She wrote in response to a question by one of her admirers: “Most can’t afford me, some can’t afford what it takes to have me on set. It is a new terrain, all will balance out soon.” The ‘Blood Sister’ role interpreter further disclosed why she…
Real Madrid continued their flying start to the La Liga season by easily beating neighbours Leganes 4-1 helped by a Karim Benzema double on Saturday to make it three wins out of three. Gareth Bale scored for the third game running to give the hosts the lead in the 17th minute but Leganes pulled level with a penalty as Real debutant Thibaut Courtois was powerless to stop Guido Carillo’s spot kick in the 24th. Benzema headed Real back in front shortly after the interval although the goal was only given after the referee consulted the video assistant referee (VAR) to…
If you ignored the action on the pitch and just watched Jurgen Klopp on the touchline, you would never know that he was the manager of the victorious team. That’s because Klopp knows his side got away with one at the King Power Stadium. Liverpool started the game in a manner that suggested they would humiliate Leicester, but ended it clinging on to a one-goal lead. Goals from Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino were ultimately enough for Liverpool, but after Leicester pulled one back through Rachid Ghezzal, the victory was more slender than it should have been. The Premier League…
Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino scored in the first half as Liverpool won their first four Premier League games for the first time with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Mane scored in the 10th minute and Firmino scored in the 45th, but a 63rd-minute gaffe by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson cost him a fourth consecutive Premier League clean sheet when Rachid Ghezzal slotted home. Pedro and Eden Hazard preserved Chelsea’s perfect start to the season as they claimed a 2-0 victory against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Having replaced Willian in the 67th minute, Pedro ran…
Pep Guardiola insisted he had no problems with Leroy Sane despite leaving him out of his squad for Saturday’s Premier League victory over Newcastle United. But he didn’t even make the bench for the 2-1 win over Newcastle, which maintained City’s unbeaten record going into the international break. “The last game, Phil Foden was not in the squad. I was so sad for Phil like I am so sad for Leroy now,” Guardiola told a news conference. “But we have a squad and sometimes we have to leave [players out] because we have six [forwards] and I decide to start…
Manuel Pellegrini said he remains confident his team will be able to turn their misfortune around after an added-time goal handed them their fourth consecutive defeat to start the season. Adama Traore scored in the 93rd minute in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 1-0 win at the London Stadium on Saturday, leaving West Ham as the only Premier League team without a point. “It’s a tough loss, because it’s our second home game and we’ve lost them both,” Pellegrini said in a brief news conference. “We don’t have points and have lost six points at home, but I am confident because I see…
Maurizio Sarri backed Marcos Alonso to become the world’s best left-back if he improves defensively after he played a key role in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. “Alonso, at the moment, in this position at left-back is maybe the best in Europe,” Sarri said. “[His] physical qualities are at a top level, I think. He’s doing very well in the offensive phase. But I also think he can improve in the defensive phase. If he improves that, he could be the best left-back in the world.” The win marked Chelsea’s sixth time winning their opening four Premier…
Lyon have confirmed that Memphis Depay’s home was burgled while he played on Friday night. Reports say thieves took up to €1.5 million ($1.7m) in jewels, watches and other luxury items while Depay was playing in Lyon’s 1-0 defeat at home to Nice. “He’s obviously disheartened, because he had a lot of belongings in that house,” Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said on Saturday at a news conference. “We will help him, as we do all the players, whether it’s on a human level or financial.” BFM TV reported on Saturday that the thieves entered his home by climbing up the…
Enrique Cerezo has dismissed speculation over the futures of goalkeeper Jan Oblak and defender Filipe Luis with one day remaining until European transfer windows close. Cerezo hit out at reports that goalkeeper Jan Oblak might not renew his contract, which has a €100 million release clause. “Oblak is a great goalkeeper and a great person and he has a long contract with us — €100m doesn’t seem like a lot,” he said. “There are three years left on his contract and you are starting to ask questions. Everyone is important for this great squad.” Cerezo said “no offer” had arrived…
Everton gave a Premier League debut to Lucas Digne, who marked the occasion with an assist in a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town at Goodison Park. Digne, signed from Barcelona last month as part of manager Marco Silva’s squad makeover, slotted in at left-back and made his first meaningful contribution just a minute after Huddersfield took the lead. It was his cross that arrived perfectly for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to guide home a header in the 36th minute — 87 seconds after Everton had fallen behind. Everton had enjoyed plenty of possession, if not much attacking potency, up until that point…
Ernesto Valverde said Jordi Alba must use the disappointment of being left out of the Spain squad on Friday as motivation to earn a recall. “Jordi has to manage [the disappointment] in the same way other players have to manage it: by working hard and focusing on his game and on [Barcelona],” Valverde said in a news conference on Saturday. “He has to wait for an opportunity to get back into the squad without going crazy, just like all players who don’t get called up by their national teams.” Alba was dropped by Luis Enrique in the coach’s final season…

The singer, actor, and Fenty Beauty makeup mogul has definitely proven that she knows how to keep something underwraps — even when she’s wearing it in plain sight.

Kim Kardashian recently faced backlash for her trim figure, but her sister Khloé Kardashian’s personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson, is not concerned. “[Kim has] never looked less than perfect, and I don’t think you look at the number on the scale,” Peterson, 56, told Us Weekly exclusively at the Rolls Royce X Technogym event at his home in Beverly Hills on Thursday, August 30. “If she’s happy and she’s healthy, then why would anybody weigh in on that? All puns intended.” Kim, 37, made headlines in July when she bragged about losing weight. Her sister Kendall Jenner said in a Snapchat…
Keshawn Morgan, a senior at Evans High School, had never been to a concert before. So he was thrilled Wednesday when his local Boys & Girls Club — where he’d been going since second grade — invited him to the Beyoncé and Jay-Z show that night. When club leaders told him and the other teenagers who had been invited that they had V.I.P. seating, he was even more excited. But when DJ Khaled, who opened the show at Camping World Stadium, told the audience he had a surprise $100,000 college scholarship to announce, the 17-year-old didn’t think much about it…
