IF YOU MISSED IT SCANDAL & HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER EPISODE 2

Gladiators and get away with Murder fans here you go!  We won't spoil for you but they are both must see TV!!

Olitz 4EVA! Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) finally went public with their relationship on the Oct. 1 episode of Scandal, and things were all kinds of scandalous. (You’re welcome.) It was a night full of shocking reveals and snugglefests, for you to enjoy. Big, like Olivia’s wine glass.  See episode below:




In the aftermath of the night Annalise was shot, Thursday night’s episode revealed that Wes (Alfred Enoch) was not the only Keating Five student who was on site as gunshots were fired — Connor (Jack Falahee), Laurel (Karla Souza) and Michaela (Aja Naomi King) were also at the mansion.

EMPIRE SEASON 2 SECRETS REVEALED VIVICA FOX TO APPEAR AS COOKIE'S SISTER

Things are about to turn up for Cookie Lyon's and we not talking a party filled with famous guests.

Taraji P. Henson's role is not only considered a role model to many women around the world but her backstory is gaining momentum with news hitting that famed actress Vivica A. Fox will be appearing on season 2 of the Fox hit as the oldest sister of Cookie (Taraji P. Henson). Fox’s character comes to Empire in search of her younger sis for reasons unknown

We’ve already met Cookie’s sister Carol (Tasha Smith) but executive producer Ilene Chaiken tells EW, “Cookie’s other family members are troublesome to say the least.” Soooo we’re guessing Fox’s character, who debuts in episode 8, isn’t exactly aiming for Sibling of the Year. 

Co-creator Lee Daniels has previously said that he’s potentially interested in a spin-off showcasing Cookie’s family when she was younger so it’s possible this could be a test for the audience’s interest in Cookie’s relatives. 

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA REUNITE WITH DEMETRIA MCKINNEY AT HER MUSIC VIDEO RELEASE PARTY

 Last night Demetria McKinney celebrated the premiere of her newest music video “Unnecessary Trouble”. An ironic title considering she invited the cast members of Real Housewives Of Atlanta (past and present!). 

Demetria’s event was filmed by Bravo. Behind-the-scenes photos verified the presence of a sizable camera crew. The full Real Housewives Of Atlanta cast attended – along with several husbands (of course Peachter Thomas!). I’m supposing the reason so many Housewives represented had more to do with “Unnecessary Trouble” featuring Kandi Burruss! 

Photos of Demetria and Kandi’s release party for “Unnecessary Trouble” are below!

Claudia Jordan was pulled out of obscurity to resurrect “Team Pretty” alongside Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey. Supporting Kandi was Phaedra Parks. Other notable attendees were “RogerBobb!“, and RHOA extra Amiyah Scott. Tamara Tattles demonstrates that Kim Fields was there, but she’s curiously absent in most of the photos. 

 Newly re-peached Porsha Williams was spotted in the background,.

Interestingly, none of the major cast members shared many photos – most of these were posted by Claudia and Demetria, while Kandi shared only a flyer of the event and confirming it was filmed. I wonder if this is the season finale party and they were instructed to keep it under wraps? Or at least one of the finale parties – lately Bravo has been filming more than one depending on how much drama occurs. 

NICKI MINAJ GETS ABC FAMILY COMEDY SERIES BASED ON HER LIFE

Nicki Minaj is coming to the small screen. According to Deadline, the rapper is set to executive produce and appear in a new comedy series on ABC Family.

Written by Kate Angelo (Sex Tape), the untitled sitcom will document her childhood growing up in Queens, New York, chronicling her life in an immigrant family from Trinidad and her evolution into a superstar.

“This is one of the more unique adventures I’ve ever embarked on,” said Minaj in a statement. “I couldn’t be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special.”

Minaj, Aaron Kaplan, and Angelo will executive produce with Stella Bulochnikov and Brian Sher (Boss), as well as Minaj’s manager Gee Roberson.

“Nicki Minaj is a force to be reckoned with at everything she touches,” said ABC Family’s EVP Programming and Development Karey Burke. “Nicki is an international superstar, yet not everyone knows how inspiring and hilarious her true story is, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”

The pilot for the show will be filmed this winter in Queens, and will screen sometime next year.

Minaj, who studied acting at LaGuardia High School, voiced a character in the 3D animated film Ice Ace: Continental Drift and appeared in 2014’s The Other Woman. She recently wrapped her first starring movie role alongside Ice Cube and Queen Latifah in Barbershop 3.

UPDATE: Nicki has launched a nationwide search to find an actress to play a younger version of herself in the sitcom.

IT GIRL...RIHANNA COVERS THE FADER’S 100TH ISSUE

In addition to Drake, Rihanna graces the cover of The FADER’s 100th issue.

The “Bitch Better Have My Money” singer collaborated with photographer Renata Raksha on the candid shoot, which captures Rihanna as she sees herself. She becomes the first artist in the magazine’s history to snap themselves for the cover.

The self-portraits capture a raw studio shoot and offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the creative process. On the cover, Rihanna dons an AWAVEAWAKE pink slip dress over a ROCHAS varsity knit, completing the look with her own Fenty PUMA pink fur slides. She also puffs smoke while decked out in Dior, and is a vision in all white.

She did not grant the magazine any face time or phone time, but agreed to answer five questions over email, which have yet to be published.

The issue hits newsstands Oct. 27.

STEVE HARVEY'S DAUGHTER TIES THE KNOT IN ATLANTA

Rich dad Steve Harvey‘s daughter Karli Harvey is no longer a single woman. Karli and her beau, insurance executive Ben Raymond, tied the knot during a lavish wedding at the St Regis Hotel in Atlanta on Saturday.

Karli’s twin Brandi (pictured) also attended the blessed nuptials. Karli is no housewife; in addition to being a teacher, motivational speaker, beauty and Fashion columnist, and event host, she manages Raymond’s successful clothing line, while Raymond runs the three State Farm Insurance franchises he owns in Dallas, Texas.

That’s Raymond pictured above left with my running partner Derek, who attended the wedding with his fiancé Sammie Haynes (Editor in Chief of Sheen magazine). Derek said the wedding and the reception were divine! He and Sammie were among the lucky guests who were invited to witness the nuptials firsthand.

As is the custom in well-to-do families, Karli’s dad, comedian and media mogul Steve Harvey paid for the $250,000 wedding out of his own pocket. And while he shed a tear (for his daughter as well as the financial hit to his bank account), he didn’t mind spending the cash to make his daughter happy!

Karli’s mom (Harvey’s first wife) looked absolutely stunning in her blue silk chiffon bridesmaid dress. Yes, that is a hair dryer in the corner. You didn’t think she woke up like that, did you?
