Oprah Knows for InStyle Magazine!
Oprah Winfrey is truly living her best life. On the heels of receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes earlier this month, her inspiring and now-iconic speech incited rumors that the media mogul was gearing up to throw in a bid for the 2020 presidential race. Now, the 63-year-old is serving us Fashion Girl™ on the March cover of InStyle magazine — and she knows it too.
In the behind-the-scenes video for her cover shoot, the A Wrinkle in Time star goes full-on diva as she models the best spring looks from Gucci, Versace, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, and Balenciaga. “This is the most fash-on, not off,” she says in the clip. “This is the most fashion I’ve ever been, I mean, pink tights, pink shoes, pink lips, pink earrings. I mean, I don’t even know myself!”
Oprah then speaks to those among us who are maximalists at heart. “I have to say, nothing feels like getting dressed up in sequins,” Winfrey explains to the camera in a floor-length sequined Marc Jacobs dress. “When you are wearing a sequin gown, you better know where you’re goin’!” After she poses with a gorgeous cocktail ring, she alerts viewers to how one should dress to harvest the crops we imagines she grows at the Promised Land. “Nothing says ‘Harvest Day’ like pink velour,” as its “great for picking peppers,” she says of her Versace gown. And you know something is really making Winfrey’s heart sing when she wants to give it away like one of her favorite things. When she put on a dramatic hunter green trench from Oscar de la Renta, she adds: “I just love this coat so much. I just want to say, everybody gets a coat.”

Before the video ends, Winfrey drops one last gem while in head-to-toe Gucci: “Every girl needs red roses and to know, I am love and loved.” And all we have to say is: Let the church say ‘amen.’

#RHoA: Sheree Whitfield says she Is NOT Looking Forward To The ‘RHOA’ Reunion
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” is in the middle of a very controversial season as usual. Everyone knows that most of the fallout is done off camera after episodes are already aired and the ladies give feedback on what was shown.
The conflict from the events that happened during filming mesh with the conflict that happened in current time to come together in a monumental multi-part reunion and Sheree Whitfield is not looking forward to it at all.
At every “RHOA” reunion show, many shocking things are revealed, epic shade is thrown, and it’s every housewife for herself. All of the drama will be addressed with the help of resident trouble-starter and producer Andy Cohen and the viewers of the show.
In seasons past, Porsha Williams attacked Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks was revealed to be the source of a nasty rumor about Kandi Burruss that ended up getting her fired from the series! One can only imagine what will happen on the upcoming one now that Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak, who both feuding with multiple co-stars and each other, have returned.
Sheree Whitfield is also involved in a juicy storyline. She’s dating Tyrone Gilliams, a man who is currently serving a decade-long prison sentence for a white-collar crime.
The ladies have already put her on the spot for falling in love with a criminal.
On a recent installment of “RHOA,” Nene and Sheree have a falling out over Nene’s comment that Tyrone is a “felon.” Whitfield fires back by stating that she also has a mugshot.
It’s later revealed that Leakes and Gilliams used to talk. The 50-year-old reality star stated that it was one date where they didn’t click.
After catching wind of Sheree’s mug shot comment, Leakes went on “WWHL” and threw shade. Sheree did the same weeks later.
Whenever the reunion show films, it’s obvious that the ladies will have to meet face-to-face to hash it out and we can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
#EMPIRE and #STAR Return with All-New Episodes Beginning Wednesday, March 28, on FOX!
EMPIRE returns at a new time on Wednesday, Sept. 27 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. On the Season Four premiere, Lucious makes his first public appearance after the explosion in Las Vegas, while all members of the Lyon family have their own interests in Lucious regaining his physical and mental faculties. Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning actor, director and producer Forest Whitaker ("The Last King of Scotland," "Arrival," "Lee Daniels' The Butler") will guest-star in a multi-episode arc on EMPIRE, beginning this fall on FOX. Whitaker will play "Uncle Eddie," a charismatic music icon and bonafide hitmaker, who gave an unknown Lucious (Terrence Howard) his first radio airplay. Decades later, Eddie steps up for Lucious at a critical moment during his rehabilitation, and a grateful Cookie (Taraji P\. Henson) invites him to produce a song in celebration of EMPIRE Entertainment's 20th anniversary.
IN case you may have forgot: EMPIRE is a powerful drama about a family DYNASTY set within the glamorous and sometimes dangerous world of hip-hop music. The show revolves around the Lyon family and their media company, EMPIRE Entertainment. The founder, LUCIOUS LYON (Terrence Howard), is the king of hip-hop, but his company and reign are constantly threatened by his family, including his ex-wife, COOKIE LYON (Taraji P\. Henson); his sons, JAMAL (Jussie Smollett), HAKEEM (Bryshere "Yazz" Gray) and ANDRE (Trai Byers); and a volatile and competitive music industry.

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes looked like they were having a great time together at Clive Davis‘ annual Pre-Grammys Party on Saturday night (January 27) in New York City.

Kandi Burruss Broadway Ticket Sales Plunging?
The Word on the curb is that Kandi Burruss' Broadway debut has underwhelmed at the box office...
“Chicago boasts sizzling songs, seductive dance numbers, a show biz story that packs a powerful punch and now a Real Housewife, but tickets sales have been soft with Kandi.”
The show ticket price has been reduced from a high of $149 to just $33 on discounted site Goldstar.
“What is making matters even worse is that YouTube sensation and RuPaul judge, Todrick Hall, has joined Kandi in the cast. And neither one of them has set the box office on fire.”

Jemele Hill leaving SportsCenter to move to 'The Undefeated'
Anchor Jemele Hill is leaving SportsCenter to head to The Undefeated, ESPN's site about the intersection of sports, race and culture.
A source familiar with the issue confirmed the change to CNNMoney. The move to The Undefeated was her choice, according to the source.
Hill began anchoring the 6:00 pm showing of SportsCenter in February alongside co-host Michael Smith. He will continue to anchor the show, but it's unclear whether he will host solo or if ESPN will fill Hill's spot.
However, she made news in September for tweets she posted about President Donald Trump, calling him a "white supremacist."
Hill apologized for the tweets and said she regretted that her comments "painted ESPN in an unfair light."
ESPN released a followup statement, saying that "Jemele has a right to her personal opinions, but not to publicly share them on a platform that implies that she was in any way speaking on behalf of ESPN."
The network said it had accepted Hill's apology.
After a second violation of ESPN's social media policies in October, Hill was suspended for two weeks.
The shakeup to SportsCenter comes as ESPN is also looking for a replacement for John Skipper, who resigned from his role as president in December. Skipper, who promoted the Hill-Smith pairing and the SportsCenter show, left the network citing a substance addiction.
'Maze Runner' Beats out 'Jumanji' for the TOP SPOT at the Box Office!
Despite a 25% decline compared to the opening for its predecessor, Fox's Maze Runner: The Death Cure still managed a #1 finish at the weekend box office. Meanwhile, Entertainment Studios saw Hostiles deliver a solid performance as it expanded nationwide, Sony's Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and The Greatest Showman continue to hold strong, The Shape of Water expands with strong numbers on the heels of its 13 Oscar nominations and Viva's Padmaavat secures a spot in the top ten despite playing in just 324 theaters. All told, the weekend's top twelve was still down ~7% compared to last year as January has slowed to a crawl.
With an estimated $23.5 million Fox's Maze Runner: The Death Cure topped the weekend box office. Carrying the largest budget of the three films ($62m) in the franchise, while not an unexpected debut, it remains a disappointing one as Death Cure comes in ~$7 million behind the debut for Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and $9 million behind the first film, which debuted in September 2014. Based on these numbers it becomes clear the franchise failed to gain much of an audience outside the core fanbase and the on-set injury to star Dylan O'Brien, which delayed the film's release by nearly a year, didn't help either.
Like Scorch Trials, Death Cure received a "B+" CinemaScore and for the most part the film played similarly across gender lines to its two predecessors with females making up 51% of the total audience. However, it did play slightly older than both the first and second film with 43% of the audience coming in at 25 years or older compared to 33% for Scorch Trials and 36% for the first film.
Internationally, Death Cure began playing overseas last weekend, bringing in $15 million from four markets. This weekend it added nearly 70 markets and brought in an estimated $62.7 million pushing its worldwide cume to $105.5 million.
