The multifaceted actor, writer, and producer is teaming up with Omarion to bring his fresh, high-stakes drama series, Wild Rose, to ALLBLK.

A press release reports that this 8-episode original series, created by LaRay and executive-produced by Omarion, sees the multi-talented artist stepping into an intense new role, playing Roosevelt, aka “Rose”—a hitman with a conscience born and raised in a family of elite assassins who operate under the guise of a non-profit organization.

Trained from childhood, Rose (Omarion) has always followed orders – until now. Rose’s world is turned upside down when his wife and daughter mysteriously walk out of his life and aren’t heard from for months. As a man trained to trust no one, he suspects foul play and finds himself questioning everything and everyone. As he embarks on a journey to uncover the truth, he starts to unravel a web of secrets that force him to question his identity within his own family.

Omarion, excited to showcase a new side of himself, said;

“I’m ecstatic that I’m back on your television in a new way. The Wild Rose is coming. I can’t wait for ALLBLK fans and everyone else to see a different side of me. Rose is not your average assassin, and this role has me stepping out of my comfort zone. Every project is a chance to grow, and Wild Rose is going to keep people on the edge of their seats.”

Production on Wild Rose has commenced in Los Angeles.

Ciara is so enamored with motherhood that baby number five could be on the horizon—much to her heavenly hunching husband Russell Wilson’s delight.

But for now, she might be savoring every moment with her hubby and their four beautiful children: Win Harrison, 4, Sienna Princess, 7, Amora, 11 months, and Future, 11.

The “1, 2 Step” singer made a special appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Nov.11, where she couldn’t help but gush about her growing family, reflecting in awe on how quickly it has expanded over the years.

“It’s insane to know I have four kids,” the singer told Hudson in disbelief. “It’s so crazy and it’s so much love.”

While talking about her youngest, Amora, who will turn 1 in December, a proud Ciara shared that her little one has been chatting up a storm ever since she first said “dada” on Father’s Day. Though Ciara admits she was a bit disappointed that “mama” wasn’t the first word (especially since she and Russell often playfully compete), Amora has certainly inherited other traits from her mom, including her love of food and her strong sense of independence. The Grammy winner revealed Amora has been crawling and is on the verge of walking.

“She’s aggressive,” the star told Hudson. “She’s like, ‘Y’all, I’m two years old!’ in her baby mind.”

Could Baby No. 5 Be On The Way For Cici?

Wilson has openly expressed his desire for a fifth child. In October, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback took to Instagram and left a playful comment on one of Ciara’s posts, writing, “ready when you are,” playfully writing that they could name their future child “Cinco.”

When Hudson asked the “Level Up” hitmaker if she was planning to welcome a fifth child into their growing family, the singer jokingly replied that just looking at her husband makes her belly start to “grow.” While Ciara is excited about the idea of expanding their family in the future, she shared that, for now, she’s focusing on herself and enjoying some well-deserved self-love.

“Honestly, I do see the road of baby No. 5—but at the right time,” Ciara, 39, told Hudson. “I want to grind a little bit. I want to drop it like it’s hot a couple of times. When I’m trying to drop it like it’s hot with a belly, I can’t get up. I gotta take my time a little bit. Mama gotta love on herself a little bit.”

Ciara Loves Going Out On Date Nights With Her Hubby

A part of Ciara’s self-love regimen includes a regular date night with her husband. The celeb shared that she and Wilson, prioritize regular date nights to keep their relationship strong. They have a standing date night every Friday, which coincides with Russell’s lighter day during football season.

“We commit to it,” the matriarch stressed. “And if we’re lucky, we add another one, or, two more to the week, if we can. But I think that really helps keep the fire going.”

While she enjoys cozy, low-key nights in sweatpants alongside Wilson, who she married in 2016, Ciara told Hudson that she also gets excited to dress up and get “cute” for her husband. The duo constantly make an effort to keep things fresh and exciting, as they both believe in “competing for love,” a lesson Russell learned from his father.

“He likes getting dressed up too and getting into it. So, we like keeping it young and fun,” she added.

Ciara also opened up about the possibility of having a fifth child during an exclusive interview with People at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala, presented by Paul Mitchell, in Beverly Hills on Nov. 9. The singer revealed that her hubby continues to entertain the idea of expanding their family with another beautiful baby. According to the singer, the football star “keeps walking around chanting ‘Cinco.’ And I’m like, ‘High five, I love you too,’” Ciara laughed, adding;

“I mean, listen, I think we’ll make it to five, but this mom needs a little time. Just a little bit.”

Ciara has been booked and busy since welcoming her fourth child in 2023. In September, the multihyphenate released a new track called “Wassup” featuring Busta Rhymes, a high-energy hip-hop anthem highlighting her rapping skills. In October the Texas-bred bombshell teamed up with Bebe to release a collection filled with cozy, fashionable, and sleek winter items.

Take all the time you need, Ciara. We see you shining!

Tyrese Gibson insists he’s never appeared in any explicit videos with Sean “Diddy” Combs, and he’s blaming Donald Trump’s supporters for starting such rumors.

On election day, the Fast and Furious star took to X to show his support for Vice President Kamala Harris. After holding up a Harris Walz sign on the side of the street, he flaunted his “I Voted” sticker before heading back to his car and speaking to the camera.

Following his endorsement, Complex reports that Tyrese said rumors of a video with him and Combs began to circulate, which he is blaming on Donald Trump supporters. Right-wing conspiracy theorists flooded the comments of many celebrities supporting Harris prior to the election, insisting their endorsement came as an attempt to save them during Diddy’s upcoming trial, though it’s unclear where this conspiracy theory came from (especially considering the fact that Trump is the candidate who’s been pictured with Combs countless times).

“We get it. You were on Diddy’s list,” one reply reads.

Another added, “Oh no, what does diddy have on you bro?”

While nobody was taking these allegations seriously, Tyrese still took the time to reply, insisting his attendance at Combs’ infamous parties didn’t involve any of the heinous activities he is being accused of.

“There is no such thing as a Diddy tape, literally,” Gibson said on Instagram Live this week. “I wanna tell y’all that I’ve been to some of the most legendary parties, I got no regrets.”

He continued, “If you’re from L.A. and you’ve been to these parties, you would know that Diddy always had the most legendary parties that were always star-studded. I got plenty of photos, proudly, like every other celebrity and star that went to his party. Anybody who’s not on the internet talking about a Diddy party—you should be more concerned about them, allegedly, about what they did or what they on tape doing.”

“There is no such thing allegedly as a Tyrese-Diddy tape,” the actor concluded. “That is a bunch of Donald Trump n****s in my comments, trying to discourage me from speaking up and speaking out.”

After Diddy was arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and using transportation to engage in prostitution, many celebrities have been accused of some sort of involvement.

While many of them seemed to come out of thin air, Tyrese publicly defended Diddy after his homes were raided by authorities.

“I don’t condone nor do I support abuse, bullying sexual assault or anything that is currently being alleged but what I can’t do is turn the blinds on how much this mean to me and all of us, and what he has done for the community of music and culture,” Gibson wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.

“I’m praying for Diddy his kids, his family, his mother, and all of the alleged victims that’s in the middle of trying to simply have their voices to be heard,” he continued. “I love this brother he’s been nothing but kind and generous towards me and that’s the way I feel praying and praying for more of a better outcome of all of this is happening, God bless you Diddy if you ever need to call me and just need a listening here I’m right here bro.”

Denzel Washington -

Iconic actor Denzel Washington reveals he will star in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther 3 as one of his last films before retirement.

Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II is set to hit theaters Nov. 22 with Denzel Washington staring as Macrinus. The character is a navy businessman who was once an ex-slave but found his way to power without forgetting where he came from. With Gladiator II comes a lengthy promotional press run and everyone wants to chat with Denzel including Today Show Australia

During his interview, Denzel revealed shocking details about the last phase of his career, including his plans to retire and star in Black Panther 3. 

“At this point in my career, I’m only interested in working with the best, I don’t know how many more films I will make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven’t done,” said Washington.

“I played Othello at 22, I’m about to play Othello at 70. After that, I’m playing Hannibal. After that, I’m talking with Steve McQueen about a film. After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. After that, I’m going to do the film Othello. After that, I’m going to do King Lear. After that, I’m going to retire.”

Perhaps this wasn’t how we expected to hear Denzel Washington discuss retirement for the first time, but he’s been acting for over five decades, so it makes sense for him to close the curtain.

Denzel Washington Already Has Ties To Black Panther 

Denzel starring in Marvel’s third installment of the Black Panther franchise would mark a full-circle moment.

As previously reported, Chadwick Boseman said in 2019 that the franchise wouldn’t exist without him.

Far Out magazine reports Denzel quietly delivered a contribution for nine Howard students to attend a summer program at the British Academy of Dramatic Acting. Chadwick Boseman was one of those nine students and would later star as T’Challa on the big screen.

If this is the last chapter of Denzel’s career, it could be one of his best performances ever.

Watch Denzel casually discuss his exit from Hollywood below.

JuJu Watkins - Aflac Oui-Play: USC v Ole Miss

USC Women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins has landed a Peacock deal to produce and star in her own docuseries On The Rise: JuJu Watkins.

JuJu Watkins finished her first season for USC Women’s Basketball averaging 27.1 points 7.3 rounds and 2.3 steals per game. Watkins’s first year in college ended with her placing second among Davison I players in scoring. Enormous expectations were placed on the rookie who attended high school at Sierra Canyon and she delivered across the board. Watkins secured deals with Nike, AT&T, and even Instagram where she showcases all of her various partnerships.

JuJu keeps her off-court life very private, but now she’s ready to open up her world to the masses.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, JuJu will produce and star in a new series for Peacock. On The Rise: JuJu Watkins also lists Klutch Sports and Uninterrupted among producers.

“I’m an introvert, so I don’t really share that much online, honestly,” JuJu Revealed. “I think to just give people more perspective into who I am, and my family, my friends, I think that’s also an important dynamic. And like I said, I’m introverted, so this is kind of my way of sharing myself a little bit with everyone else.”

Reportedly cameras will follow her as she transitions from Sierra Canyon to the collegiate level at USC. Correspondingly, women’s basketball is more popular than ever so it’s no surprise her story will be documented to inspire the next generation.

The series will debut at 3 p.m. EST on November 23 ahead of the USC vs. Notre Dame women’s basketball game.

A foul is being thrown on the #RHOP play amid a newbie speaking on her relationship with her baller boo.

After newbie Jassi Rideaux detailed her relationship with her NFL baller fiancé, the mother of the linebacker’s kids alleged that her dating story was inaccurate.

“Furthest from the truth,” said the baby’s mother who has matching Christmas pajama photos with Harris timestamped from last year.

Jassi Rideaux Detailed Her Relationship With Harris On #RHOP

On Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of Potomac, Dr. Wendy Osefo’s birthday trip continued and the ladies enjoyed a girls’ night out.

While at dinner, new housewife Stacey Rusch asked new friend of the show, Jassi Rideaux, about her beginnings with her fiancé, Darius Harris of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Rideaux Hair CEO explained that she was happy with Harris despite some hardships in their relationship, before dropping the bomb that he has two children, ages 3 and 1.

“We’ve had some bumps in the road, but we’ve gotten through those bumps,” said Jassi. “He’s a great father to two boys that were both either there or created before me.”

A flashback showed Jassi telling Mia Thornton that when she and Darius “got serious” his baby’s mother was already pregnant.

New housewife Kierana Stewart then hopped in the convo and detailed her story of dating an NFL player who impregnated two women at the same time with twins while they were dating.

“I’ve seen this, I’ve been through this,” said Kierna. “Bottom line is, date any form of successful man, you should be prepared.”

Gizelle Bryant also chimed in via a confessional and alleged that Jassi’s boo was “just cheating on her.”

Despite the comments, however, Jassi seemed unfazed.

As you can imagine, social media had LOTSSSS to say about Jassi’s relationship reveal and #RHOP watchers said that the “math ain’t mathing.”

Not only that, but the mother of Darius Harris’ kids also spoke on the matter.

Charlysa Porter Says Jassi Rideaux’s Story Is Inaccurate

On Monday, Charlysa Porter, who shares two kids with Darius Harris, hopped in TheNeighborhoodTalk’s comments section to explain her side.

According to the mom, it was offensive to hear Jassi only refer to her as “she” and “her” instead of by name, and the entrepreneur told the story of her relationship beginnings incorrectly.

She also alleged that Jassi was making her children her narrative and alleged that Darius Harris was far from surprised by her pregnancies because both conceptions happened on their respective birthdays.

Oh. boy.

“It [sic] nothingto beef over but making them the narrative every episode is sickening…like he has kids okay!” wrote Porter in TNT’s comments. “Y’all weren’t together! Just be honest it’s that simple but don’t try and down play him and I to make yourself look better…is all I’m saying and ppl in the comments dragging him off what she said when the story she’s telling is furtherest [sic] from the truth!

“He knew each one of his children…he didn’t find out when I was 2 or 3 months pregnant,” she added. “We got pregnant each year on each other’s birthday! But before you try to come for me know the real narrative. I don’t want anyone to kiss my assa [sic] but we’re honest over here!”

#RHOP watchers are now pointing out that Charlysa Porter has matching Christmas pajama pictures with Harris from last December.

Well, this just took a turn.

Despite the drama, just last month Jassi excitedly told PEOPLE about Darius’ proposal and their wedding plans.

According to the Chateau Rideaux CEO, she and the three-time Super Bowl champ are planning a May wedding in Dallas and she’s excited to finally be in the same state as her man.

“I’m looking forward to just keeping my focus on my soon-to-be husband and just being grateful for where we are,” Relationships are not easy, and we lived apart in different states for a majority of the beginning stages of our relationship,” said Jassi. “And so, I’m looking forward to just soaking it all in and looking absolutely stunning in my photos, but also just being able to fellowship with my friends and family and celebrate love. What better place to go to a party than to a wedding where people are celebrating love?”

What do YOU think about Jassi Rideaux being called out by the mother of Darius Harris’ kids?

Time flies fast! Dream Kardashian, the daughter of Angela White (formerly Blac Chyna) and Rob Kardashian, turned 8 years old on Nov. 10. The precious princess celebrated her big day with a soccer-themed birthday party curated by her famous aunt, Khloé Kardashian.

A photo carousel shared on Khloé’s Instagram Sunday featured little Dream beaming with pride in front of a three-tiered cake decorated with soccer balls. She could be seen wearing a blue soccer jersey emblazoned with her initials, “DK,” and her age, “8,” on the front, while “Dreamville” was displayed on the back. Khloé, embracing the sporty theme, donned a long black Balenciaga jersey with a sleek bun. Blue, black, and white balloons surrounded the duo.

Several clips captured Khloé’s two young children, True and Tatum, happily playing soccer in the backyard. The space was decked out with large soccer ball decorations, adding to the festive atmosphere of the birthday celebration. Dream wasn’t the only star of the show, however. The party also included a special tribute to Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, who shares the same birthday on Nov. 10. The business executive, who turned 44, wore a custom “The Gambler” soccer jersey.

“My Dreamy Dream Turned 8 today!!!!!! Silk God Corey continued to be a birthday legend!!!!! The two birthday warriors! What a fun day!,” Khloé penned in the caption.

Kris Jenner & Angela White Shared Birthday Tributes To Dream On Instagram

Grandma Kris Jenner, 69, and Dream’s mom, Angela White, 36, both took to Instagram to share heartfelt birthday tributes in honor of the 8-year-old’s big day. White, who parted ways with Rob, 37, in 2017, posted several sweet photos with Dream, calling her the “beautiful, smartest, funniest girl in the world.”

“I’m so grateful for every moment spent with you, @dream you mean the world to me,” White wrote in the caption. “I’m so blessed that God decided to make me your mother.”

The proud mom added;

“I will always cherish these moments with you until the day I die, you’re my best friend.”

Jenner continued to shower Dream with love, praising her for being “caring,” “confident,” and “talented.”

“You are such a special part of my heart and the light of our lives! You have the most amazing and infectious personality, full of energy, always making us laugh, and you light up every single room you walk into!! It brings me so much joy to watch you grow and explore the things you love,” the famous momager added.

“You are so creative, such an amazing artist, and your talents never cease to amaze me. You are such a loving and caring cousin and friend and I love to watch the special bond you have with your cousins. We all love you to the moon and back, my sweet Dream!! Lovey.”

The sweet post received love from a slew of fans and stars including Dream’s father, Rob.

“Happy birthday my baby girl!!!” the doting dad penned in the comments section, posting alongside a ton of heart and balloon emojis.

Such a big heart and personality. I know she brings y’all family joy,” another user commented.

Happy birthday, Dream! We hope you enjoyed your special day.

Jordan Chiles is finally opening up about what it’s been like for her since getting stripped of her bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Paris Olympics: Artistic Gymnastics

The Olympian is still in the midst of her legal battle to retain her bronze medal from the gymnastics floor final. On Monday, Nov. 11, she stopped by the Today show to talk to Hoda Kotb about what her journey has been like and how she’s processing the situation.

“Honestly, it’s been really really hard just to comprehend everything that’s been happening,” the 23-year-old said. “I’ve been able to finally now feel comfortable in a way to talk about what has been happening.”

Chiles continued, “I feel like I recently have been trying to tell myself I’ve been okay the past four, five months, and it’s honestly been a very, very difficult time.”

The controversy over her medal happened following Chiles’ floor routine. Coach Laurent Landi successfully challenged the judges’ scoring decision and pushed her up to a bronze-medal finish behind Brazilian gold medalist Rebeca Andrade and USA teammate Simone Biles, who took home silver.

It was later determined that Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu should be awarded the bronze due to the gymnastics governing board ruling that the inquiry from Landi had come just a few seconds too late.

In the months since, the Romanian and American Olympic committees have traded petitions and appeals, a process which has left Chiles exhausted.

“It’s hard to tell yourself that everything is going to be fine when you feel like you literally didn’t do anything wrong,” Chiles told Kotb. “Everything was very right, everything was in the time that it needed to be, and for them to come back and say that it was four seconds late when we’ve had proof we’ve had everything that can really show that everything is right.”

She continued, “So I think now it’s just the support that’s been around me I’m like, ‘Okay, I can’t control anything that’s happening on the outside, I can only control what my truth is and I know what the truth is and I know that we were right in everything that we were doing.’”

After previously alluding to the idea that her race played a role in what happened, Chiles also noted how important of a role that played in her achievement.

“It was an all-Black podium that was history made, that was something I’m very proud to be a part of, that was something that I hope people can see,” she said. “That is something I’ll always remember.”
