Gossipmongers are speculating that LL Cool J and Simone Johnson-Smith’s marriage is on the rocks (again).

LL Cool J and Simone attended the star-studded opening night of “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” on Broadway at Barrymore Theatre in New York. Fans noticed awkwardness between LL and Simone as they walked the red carpet.

LL married his high school sweetheart, Simone, in 1995. They share 4 adult children. Simone remained loyal to her husband even when he cheated on her with Quincy Jones’ daughter Kidada Jones for 2 years.

In an interview last year, Simone said she had to change herself to make the marriage work.

“You’ve gotta have God first,” she said. “Growing up, I’ve had my times when I would be going off and mad at this one because they looked at him this way. You know, but that was years ago.”

Simone said she found inspiration in a book titled “The Power of a Praying Wife.”

She said women have a tendency to ask God to change their men. But the book taught her to change herself.

“You can’t change nobody. You can have standards and you can have boundaries and all of that, but you can’t change anybody. You can change yourself and that’s what I did, I changed myself.”

First lady Melania Trump gave Queen Camila a tour of the White House and the manicured grounds. The royal visit came 2 days after a deranged lunatic opened fire on Secret Service agents at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in D.C. on Saturday, April 25.

One Secret Service agent was injured and is expected to recover. Police arrested the shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California.

In his speech before Congress on Tuesday, King Charles commended the “truly unique” relationship between the UK and America. He called on Congress to continue defending Ukraine and to fight climate change.

Charles said, “our ties in education, research, and cultural exchange empower citizens and future leaders of both countries.”

Charles ascended to the throne upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. Charles, 77, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2024.

After cancer treatment, King Charles resumed his royal duties which included booting his wayward brother, Andrew, out of his 30-room mansion and stripping him of his royal titles.

Andrew brought further shame upon the royal family when he was arrested in February.

King Charles said in a statement: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.”

King Charles has also banished his youngest son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, for shirking their royal duties in pursuit of Hollywood fame and riches.

Lizzo celebrated her 38th birthday with her longtime boyfriend Myke Wright at the Chateau Marmont on Monday night, April 27. The pop singer wore a long black frock with sheer cutouts down the sides and a mink shawl.

Lizzo smiled for the cameras as she held Myke’s hand while leaving the hotel. The couple first went public in 2022. They met in 2016 while cohosting MTV’s music series “Wonderland.”

Lizzo said Myke makes her feel complete and she’s not looking for anyone else.

PGP / BACKGRID

“You have to be like, ‘I’m living for me.’ I don’t want to be out here searching for somebody else or searching for a second half. I’m complete, and then when you are complete you attract, and I believe that when I was on my path.” She noted she was going through “some crazy stuff” when they first met.

The Grammy-winner, who was born Melissa Jefferson, lost nearly 100 pounds while taking Ozempic injections. Friends say she feels like her old self again.

PGP / BACKGRID

Earlier in the day day, Lizzo announced her upcoming album drops this summer. The Michigan native also celebrated her upcoming album, Bitch, set for release on May 5. “Happy birthday to me!” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.

“Wanna get me a gift? Pre-order my album baby!!!!”

Lizzo said of the album’s title, “Reclaiming the word ‘Bitch’ is power — it’s taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence, and unapologetic self-love. So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliot. It was only fitting to name my album Bitch because it has become my favorite word when using it on my own terms and because I am 100% that bitch!”

She also revealed the track list for Bitch, which marks Lizzo’s first album in four years, following 2022’s Special.

Back in February, Lizzo released 2 singles — the title-track and “Still Bad” to promote her album. She performed a third unreleased song “Don’t Make Me You Love U” on Saturday Night Live.

Tammie & Kelvin’s Happily Ever After
TalkingwithTami.com

On April 22nd, I stepped into my very own fairytale… I married the love of my life. I am now Mrs. Tammie Richardson and oh, how magical that sounds.

Our love story began in the most unexpected, storybook way. Just two years ago, while spending a carefree day with family at pickleball, I noticed a lost wallet resting on the ground. Moments later, a gentleman rushed over to claim it and just like that, a simple exchange turned into a beautiful conversation. That gentleman was Kelvin, and from that very moment, our hearts quietly chose each other.

TalkingwithTami.com

Who would have imagined that a misplaced wallet would lead to a forever kind of love? Yet here we are. He has been my calm, my joy, and truly a radiant light in my life especially during one of my most difficult seasons, when I lost my mother. He stood beside me with unwavering love, wrapping me in comfort when I needed it most.

We nurtured our love gently and privately, like a sacred little secret. This time, I wanted something soft, peaceful, and intentional and so did he. Though we once dreamed of eloping, fate had a more enchanting plan: an intimate micro wedding surrounded by our closest family and friends.

TalkingwithTami.com

The vision? Pure whimsy. Think vintage romance, delicate pearls, soft touches of gold and blush pink and just a sprinkle of Princess Tiana magic my forever favorite. I created a dreamy mood board to guide every detail, and like something out of a fairy tale, everything came together flawlessly.

Under the most perfect blue skies, with the sun glowing like it was celebrating with us, we said “I do.” Not a single hiccup just love, laughter, and pure bliss floating through the air.

TalkingwithTami.com

Our ceremony took place in a beautiful sanctuary, and the celebration that followed felt like an enchanted garden soirée soft candlelight dancing off whimsical details, with delicate dragonflies and mirrored accents creating the most romantic glow.

TalkingwithTami.com

Every detail held meaning:

  • I wore my grandmother’s pearl necklace my “something old,” filled with
    legacy and love
  • My gown, adorned in pearls, was my “something new”
  • A soft blue garter for luck
  • And a borrowed pearl clutch, rich with sentiment

My husband looked like pure elegance in a classic black tux, and I gifted him a platinum band to symbolize forever while my own rings sparkled like they were touched by stardust.

One of the most heartfelt moments? My son walking me down the aisle… and my two sweet grandsons serving as the most adorable little ring bearers. Our flower girls floated like tiny ballerinas, scattering beauty with every step.

TalkingwithTami.com

The evening unfolded like a dream an atmosphere filled with love, joy, and effortless elegance. It was, in every sense, wedding bliss.

And now, as Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, we begin our next chapter soon to be whisked away on a romantic honeymoon to Sweden… the perfect ending to our fairy tale beginning.

Harry and Zoe accused of being in ‘fake’ relationship

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz are being compared to Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson. Harry and Zoe are reportedly engaged, but their engagement may be as fake as a $3 bill.

The Grammy-winning singer and the “Batman” actress are accused of being in a “showmance”. Harry, 32, is reportedly telling friends that he felt “pressured” to propose to Zoe, 37.

Zoe flashed a massive engagement ring during their outing in London earlier this month.

However, a tipster told RadarOnline that Harry was seen dropping off Zoe at a hotel before returning to his home in London.

“During the day, Harry and Zoe looked completely wrapped up in each other — walking closely, holding hands and seeming very affectionate — but when the evening came, they ended up going their separate ways,” the spy said.

The source added that it “struck people as unusual that after such a display of affection, Zoe returned to a hotel while Harry headed back home alone.”

Harry is a native of England, while Zoe is in London to work on a film.

Some industry sources claim that it’s “practical” for people of their status to live separately until they wed. But others are convinced they are in a “fake relationship.”

Instagram

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion and NBA star Klay Thompson are accused of having a showmance.

Megan announced their “breakup” in an Instagram Story on Saturday. She accused the promiscuous NBA star of cheating on her.

“Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet’ Holding you down through all your HORRIBLE mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’???? b***h I need a REAL break after this one .. bye yall.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, the Grammy winner said she decided to cut ties with the Dallas Mavericks star.

“I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay,” she said. “Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

But fans say the relationship was manufactured to gain publicity for both stars who have a hard time committing to one person.

Pastor known for giving marriage advice is arrested, accused of having multiple wives

A pastor known for writing a book about marriage advice was arrested at a Florida swingers community on a bigamy charge.

Pastor Leslie Williams, 62, runs a ministry in a swingers community for Florida seniors. He was taken into custody on Wednesday at The Villages, on an outstanding warrant out of Georgia.

Pastor Williams wrote a book on how to love your spouse. The 2017 book is titled “Love Her Like This: Loving Her Has Never Been Deeper.”

The pastor practices what he preaches. But the law says bigamy is illegal in Georgia.

Rockdale County, Ga. records show Williams is married to a Georgia woman. He also married a woman in Florida without his first wife’s knowledge.

“Florida marriage records were obtained and confirmed that Leslie Williams was still lawfully married at the time of the subsequent marriage,” the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital. “Based on these records, a warrant was obtained for Leslie Williams for the charge of bigamy.”

Williams is currently being held at the Sumter County Detention Center in Florida while awaiting extradition to Georgia.

A tipster first reported the alleged bigamy to the Haines City Police Department in Florida, officials said. The case was later transferred to Georgia after records showed Williams’ previous marriage had been certified in Rockdale County.

According to Williams’ Facebook page, he had been married in 2018, before a recent December post announced a new marriage to a woman named Cindi.

“Thanks for all the wonderful comments referencing my saved, beautiful and talented wife, Mrs. Williams!” he wrote in the post.

One Facebook friend, reacted to the news with some skepticism.

“Wow I thought you were already married. Congratulations!!” the commenter wrote.

When another friend asked if the announcement was real, Williams responded, “Yes preacher!!!! THE HAPPIEST MAN on earth!!”

His relationship status has since changed from “married” to “single.”

Documents show the warrant for his arrest was issued on April 3 by the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.

Chris Brown and his latest girlfriend, Jada Wallace, welcomed their first child together. Jada announced the arrival of their baby boy on Instagram on Sunday night.

She shared cute B&W photos of her newborn, along with the caption: “Purest love.”

Someone positioned the baby’s middle finger as a message to his father’s haters?

The proud daddy commented: “Taurus GANG”. While Chris’ mother, Joyce Hawkins, added, “CONGRATUALTIONS [sic]!!! HES JUST PERFECT! SENDING LOVE ALWAYS!!”

Instagram

The newborn is Chris Brown’s fourth by as many women. Chris shares daughter, Royalty, with Nia Guzman, son Aeko with Ammika Harris, and daughter Lovely with Diamond Brown.

Fans noted that Chris hasn’t committed to any of his baby mamas.

The singer reportedly has a good relationship with the women and their children. He manages to spend time with his children while touring constantly to pay the bills.

Chris and Usher Raymond recently announced a joint stadium tour that is selling out everywhere. They just added a 4th show to the Atlanta stop at Mercedes-Benz stadium.

Tickets for “The Raymond & Brown Tour” are selling like hotcakes. One woman turned down the chance to be bridesmaid to her best friend because “The Raymond & Brown Tour” is on the same day.

Other fans are pawning jewelry and even their cars to pay for tickets to the show.

But others couldn’t care less about the R&B concert tour coming to their town. They say Chris is a woman beater and a colorist.

One person wrote on X: “I don’t even gaf about her announcing the pregnancy. I’m giving my personal opinion lmfao. Chris brown is too colorist.”

Another person wrote on X: “Chris brown beats woman and is literally a colorist freak.”

A third person commented: “We ain’t seen Chris Brown with a black woman since Rihanna, I’m not saying he’s a colorist, but he tryna keep what he got left and not let it get destroyed by another.”

Chris responded, calling his critics “Karens,” and saying the stadiums will be packed every night.

Megan Thee Stallion abruptly quit her Broadway show, “Moulin Rouge: The Musical!,” after her PR stunt with “boyfriend” Klay Thompson backfired.

The “WAP” rapper broke down in tears on stage during a performance, before announcing she is quitting the show to focus on herself.

The relationship between Megan and Klay was doomed from the start. Most celebrity watchers said they were a manufactured couple. There was very little chemistry between them. And Megan seemed to wear the pants in the relationship. That’s always a bad sign.

Hours later, Megan broke down in tears on stage. She played the role of Harold Zidler, a nightclub owner, in the Broadway show that was scheduled to continue through May 17.

In a new post on Instagram, Megan explained that she couldn’t go on.

“Hotties, my last performance as Zidler in @moulinrougebway will be May 1. It’s been such an honor to be part of thee Moulin Rouge family and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theater!” she wrote.

WNBA player Lexie Brown, who was dragged into Megan and Klay’s drama, said she had nothing to do with their “breakup.”

“I’ve seen what’s being said online and I want to be clear, none of it is true and I have no involvement in this situation,” the Seattle Storm guard wrote on her Instagram Stories on Sunday.

She added, “This week marks the start of an important and exciting new season for me, and my focus is fully on that.”

Viral video shows Kenya Moore’s salon chairs and dryer equipment outside on the curb in Atlanta. It looked like a yard sale outside Kenya’s Hair Spa.

Videos show crews gently placing Kenya’s things on the curb while bystanders look on.

One person shared video on X.com, along with the caption: “They’re putting Kenya’s stuff on the curb as we speak… my heart breaks for Kenya Moore.”

Earlier this year, Kenya was ordered to pay her landlord $87,000 in back rent and utilities.

The landlord, Northland Chamblee LLC, sued Kenya in October 2025 after she refused to pay up or leave. The reality TV star managed to delay the court proceedings by filing motion after motion.

LionsShareNews / BACKGRID

The former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star had accused the landlord of not reimbursing her for renovations she made to the salon.

Vlogger Michelle “ATLien” Brown obtained court documents that show a judge ordered Kenya to pay $43,988 this month (February) and another $43,988.67 by late March.

The judge also ordered Kenya’s company, Moore Vision Media, to pay around $5,500 a month in rent until she vacates the premises.

But friends say Kenya is broke and doesn’t have the money to pay the landlord.

Kenya, 55, shares 7-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, with businessman Marc Daly. They broke up in 2018.

The RHOA veteran opened the Kenya Moore Hair Spa in Atlanta in 2024.

Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz Are Engaged After Dating 8 Months

Singer Harry Styles and actress Zoe Kravitz are engaged after dating 8 months. The blogs went into overdrive when Zoe stepped out in London with a sizable diamond ring on that finger.

Page Six reported Zoe and Harry were spotted out in London, and Zoe didn’t try to hide her massive ring. Harry is a native of England and maintains a residence there. Zoe was born in Los Angeles to singer Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet.

ASPN / BACKGRID

A source tells Page Six that Harry, 32, “is completely smitten” with 37-year-old Zoe. “He would jump off a cliff for her,” while Zoe “is on cloud nine.”

The source said “no one in their circle is surprised” by their engagement. Harry and Zoe have dated multiple partners before finding true love.

The couple took their relationship public in August 2025 when they were seen walking hand-in-hand in Rome.

ASPN / BACKGRID

A source told The Daily Mail that “Harry is interested in seeing where this goes. It is very easy to fall for Zoë. She is beautiful and so unique a person that you just want to know more and more about her, and that is mesmerizing for everyone who meets her. In so many of her past relationships, men fell in love with her very fast, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Harry finds himself in the same situation.”

Harry is best known as a member of the British boy band One Direction. He went solo in 2016. The “As it Was” singer previously dated Taylor Russell, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Wilde, and Taylor Swift.

Harry’s relationship with Taylor Russell marked the first time he dated a Black woman.

ASPN / BACKGRID

Harry and Zoe tried to keep their interracial romance under wraps for 8 months. But that was impossible.

“It’s so hard to date as a celebrity … Harry wouldn’t have gone public with Zoe if it wasn’t anything,” an insider said. Zoe told friends that Harry is “her soulmate.”

Zoe previously dated actors Ezra Miller, Penn Badgley and Channing Tatum. She married actor Karl Glusman at her grandfather’s home in Paris, France on June 29, 2019. Their divorce was finalized in June 2021.

She began dating Channing in 2021 and they were engaged in 2023. They split up the following year.
