Rumi Carter, 4, Is Big Sis Blue Ivy’s Mini-Me In Beyonce’s New Ivy Park Ad — Watch - Hollywood Life

Image
Beyonce’s daughter, Rumi, looked identical to her sister Blue Ivy in a new campaign for Ivy Park. Good genes run in the family! Beyonce , 40, released her new ad for Ivy Park and the video stars Bey’s two daughters – Rumi Carter , 4, and Blue Ivy , 9. In the video, Rumi looks like Blue’s mini-me and the resemblance is uncanny. In the middle of the video, Bey posed with her two girls as they all rocked matching outfits. Beyonce held Rumi on her waist as she wore a black and white gingham sports bra with matching herringbone leggings. Bey opted to wear a skintight, low-cut zip-up bodysuit in the same pattern. Meanwhile, Blue stood on the opposite side of them wearing a matching crop top and high-waisted leggings. In the video, both girls had their hair done the exact same way which made them look even more alike. Rumi’s hair was slicked back and parted in the middle with two braided pigtails while two thin braided pieces of her were left out framing her face. Beyonce & Jay-Z

Family of 9-year-old Astroworld victim rejects Travis Scott's offer to pay for funeral - New York Post

Image
The family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest victim of the Astroworld Festival stampede , has reportedly turned down Travis Scott’s offer to pay for the boy’s funeral. “Your client’s offer is declined,” the family’s lawyer Bob Hilliard wrote the rapper’s attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, in a letter obtained by Rolling Stone . “I have no doubt Mr. Scott feels remorse. His journey ahead will be painful. He must face and hopefully see that he bears some of the responsibility for this tragedy,” he added. Petrocelli made the offer on behalf of his client in a letter to Hilliard and his co-counsel last week. “Travis is devastated by the tragedy that occurred at the Astroworld Festival and grieves for the families whose loved ones died or were injured,” he wrote Wednesday, a day after the boy was laid to rest, the news outlet reported.

Cassie Randolph eager to 'move past' drama rehashed on 'Coming Out Colton' - Page Six

Image
Still a thorn in her side.  After the trailer dropped on Monday for Colton Underwood’s new Netflix series, “Coming Out Colton,” a source exclusively told Page Six that his ex Cassie Randolph is frustrated that their tumultuous breakup is being rehashed.  “Cassie really just wants to move past any drama having to do with Colton. She’s being roped back into all this Colton mess because of the Netflix show,” the insider said. “There are a lot of bad memories associated with the end of their relationship and she wishes there was a way to completely separate herself from his narrative.”  Former “Bachelor” lead Underwood, 29, handed his final rose to Randolph, 26, while filming the Season 23 finale of the ABC reality show in late 2018. Though they never got engaged, the pair continued dating — and even lived together at one point — until announcing their split in May 2020.  [embedded content] Randolph  got a restraining order  against Underwood in September of that year for allegedl

Image
Written by Jacqui Palumbo, CNN On a frigid night in London, the fashion industry has stepped out on the red carpet for the Fashion Awards 2021, hosted by the British Fashion Council. Billy Porter is on hosting duties for the night at Royal Albert Hall, and made a dramatic entrance to the event with an entourage of dancers. The "Pose" and "Cinderella" actor wore a glittering patterned black and silver gown with sculpted shoulders by designer Richard Quinn, as well as black platform-heeled boots. The dancers arrived in floral print and black PVC outfits -- some entirely incognito in head-to-toe jumpsuits, also made by Richard Quinn. They spun, rolled and did splits ahead of Porter's entrance, writhing around him as he walked in. Richard Quinn is one of five designers vying tonight to win the BFC Foundation Award, which honors emerging talent. Priya Ahluwalia, Nensi Dojaka, Bianca Saunders and Bethany Williams are also nominees. Other celebrities who wore Qu

Gotham Awards 2021 Winners List (Updating Live) - Variety

The 31st annual Gotham Awards is a key stop in the awards season marathon, especially for lower-budget indies looking for some traction for the Oscars race. However, not every likely Oscar contender found itself up for Gothams, including “The Power of the Dog,” “Tick, Tick… Boom!” and “The Harder They Fall,” as they exceeded the $35 million budget limit for nominees. For the first time, international documentaries were eligible in the best documentary feature category. Additionally, the new award breakthrough nonfiction series is among category updates for the year, as well as outstanding lead performance, outstanding supporting performance and outstanding performance in a new series, from the television side. Outstanding lead performance, breakthrough performance and outstanding supporting performance were all gender neutral categories, with eight men and 14 women nominated. As previously announced, Jane Campion was honored with a director’s tribute statue, while Magnolia Pictures

In Bill Cosby Case, Supreme Court Is Asked to Toss Ruling That Freed Him - The New York Times

Image
The prosecutors who brought the 2018 sexual assault case are appealing the decision in June by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that overturned the jury verdict. Prosecutors who say Bill Cosby belongs in prison are asking the United States Supreme Court to throw out an appellate court ruling earlier this year that overturned his 2018 conviction for sexual assault on due process grounds. Mr. Cosby walked free from prison in June after serving less than three years of a three-to-10-year sentence. His release followed a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that Mr. Cosby’s rights had been violated when the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office pursued a criminal case against him despite what the appellate court found was a binding “non-prosecution agreement” given to him by a previous district attorney. It was a dramatic reversal in one of the first high-profile criminal convictions of the #MeToo era. The petition for review, filed last Wednesday by the district attorn

Adam McKay Details Will Ferrell Split, Says Actor Hasn’t Returned His Emails: ‘I F**ked Up’ - IndieWire

Image
Adam McKay opened up in detail for the first time about his professional split from Will Ferrell . The two collaborators worked together on some of the most definitive comedy films of the 2000s, including “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” and went on to form the production company Gloria Sanchez Productions. McKay and Ferrell announced in April 2019 they were ending their partnership, saying in a statement at the time, “The two of us will always work together creatively and always be friends. And we recognize we are lucky as hell to end this venture as such.” As McKay revealed in a new Vanity Fair profile , that promise turned out not to be true. Ferrell told The Hollywood Reporter in October that “bandwidth” was the reason for his split from McKay, pointing to McKay’s increased producing responsibilities. The actor said, “Adam was like, ‘I want to do this, and this, and this,’ he wanted growth and a sphere of influence, and I was just like, ‘I don’t know, that sounds like a

At Jussie Smollett trial, Osundairo brothers at center stage - New York Post

Image
CHICAGO — Two brothers stand at the center of the case that prosecutors will lay before jurors when the trial of Jussie Smollett begins this week. The former “Empire” actor  contends he was the victim of a racist and homophobic assault  in downtown Chicago on a frigid night in January 2019. The siblings, who worked with him on the TV show,  say he paid them $3,500 to pose as his attackers . Smollett is accused of lying to police about the alleged attack and has been charged with felony disorderly conduct. A class 4 felony, the crime carries a sentence of up to three years in prison but experts have said it is more likely that if Smollett is convicted he would be placed on probation and perhaps ordered to perform community service. Whether Smollett, who is Black and gay, testifies remains an open question. But the siblings, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, will take the witness stand where they are expected to repeat what they have told police officers and prosecutors — that they ca
