-Bravo has released the taglines for the upcoming 11th season of RHOA!

-They leave a lot to be desired.

Nene - "I am the glue for my wig, and my family"

Kandi - "I count my blessings, and my checks"

Cynthia - "I age like a fine wine, now I'm ready to chill"

Porsha - "I took a left turn, but now, things are just right"

Eva - "I live a model life, now I'm ready to be a top wife"

Shamari - "I may be an open book, but that does not mean I am easily read"

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Premieres Sunday, November 4th at 9/8




-After Kelly Dodd says Ramona Singer told her #RHONY put Bravo on the map, not #RHOC, Andy Cohen calls Ramona LIVE! and talks with her about this view and why she thinks it.

-Some high top producer back in S2 named Bond...something James Bond (per Ramona) told them that no one was checking for Real Housewives or Bravo until RHONY came along. But his name was Bond like James Bond!

Fashion is getting gayer and gayer. I don’t mean designer wise — as obviously 75% of all fashion designers are gay themselves. I mean expression wise. Perhaps I should say fashion is getting more openly gay. From power clashing to queer superheroes to copious amounts of leopard print, there were almost too many gay things to count.

To save you time, I selected the gayest looks for your enjoyment.

ONTD Original: 2000s Looks Today's 'It' Girls Are Rocking That You May Recognize



Like it or not, 2000s fashion is coming back, and today's It Girls have been playing around with it for a while. What is 2000s fashion? Basically a tragic mixture of every era between the 60s and 90s shoved into one. Let's take a looksie.

Coloured shades, ofc.

Predictions:

This era of fashion has been pretty steady in terms of pace. Little by little, we see 2000s style come into the light. Once it hits us full on, OP thinks button pins will become popular again.



They may be a quick fad, though; no more than a summer romance. Especially if Rihanna doesn't do it first.

Chunky belts might come back in a big way, and it'll happen if the rises of pants/shorts/skirts get really low. Might be a while.






A lot of the trends we're seeing here are heavily influenced by the 60s-scifi-inspired 2000s looks; with metallics, satin, and other shiny textures. Not so scary, right? Well, we're definitely starting to creep into rich trash territory with velour/velvet tracksuits and trucker hats, which may lead to pleated mini skirts, satin babydoll tops, furry rave boots, and McQueen low-rises. That's right, ONTD: If you keep buying into the Kardashians and Jenners, butt cleavage and whale tails may make a comeback.

Godspeed.

- Kim and Kanye decided to continue expanding on their political press run, this time paying visit to President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power for 32 years in Uganda.

- He is known for jailing other politicians who oppose his rule, with many saying they were beaten and tortured for speaking out against him. He is also known to beat LGBT activists and force anal examinations, as well as use excessive force and even murder activists at demonstrations.

- The couple stopped by to take photos and sign sneakers.

Not a coincidence: 19-story building would serve as school’s data sciences hub

Boston University’s planned 19-story tower at 645-665 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston’s Kenmore Square area will resemble a stack of books, according to the school.

That’s no coincidence: The tower is set to host the university’s data sciences center, including the mathematics, computer science, and statistics departments.

The building—which Toronto-based KPMB Architects is designing—will also be the tallest on BU’s campus and will replace a surface parking lot. A basement, a four-story podium, 13 floors on top of that, and then a top floor (like the basement) for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing apparatuses will comprise the tower.

“They asked us for something—they used the word ‘iconic,’” Marianne McKenna, a KPMB Architects founding partner, said through the school.

It will be open to the public in addition to hosting classroom, research, and administrative space. Construction could take up to 28 months once it starts.

Artemii Lazarev, the ex-singer of Kazaky, in a short documentary explains the role of The House of Hobo in popularizing voguing in Kyiv, Ukraine. “In Kyiv, vogue parties create a family-like atmosphere where women and the LGBT community can dance and explore their personalities in a safe place beyond the hostility of many nightclubs.”

The video features a local drag queen Guppy Drink.

Is this #brunchgoals or what? Not just a lovely group of women to hang out with; but a well-styled one as well. What can we say? We’re shallow. They’re each working a highly distinct – and in some cases, pretty surprising – look. And they all look great together. We’d say the Tory Burch folks nailed this one.

 

Katie Holmes

While we don’t think the baptismal styling does the right things for it, this is a very “fashion week” sort of look and we think it has a stark chicness to it; one that probably deserves better hair and shoe choices. Still, it’s got that severely bold quality to it you want out of your front row attendees.

 

 

Tiffany Haddish

This is just straight-up spectacular. The silhouette, color story and textile are all being super-best friends to her right now. Tiff, we hope you got to keep this one.

 

 

Julianne Moore

There’s a big fashion-establishment push for sneakers this season and while we’d never suggest a lady not avail herself of a comfy trend, we think this combination is an extremely unfortunate one that automatically makes its wearer look positively octogenarian. The suit and blouse are pretty great. The kicks and bag, not so much.

 

 

Danai Gurira

To us, this is a more acceptable deployment of kicks, although we know mileage varies tremendously on that question. We think the silver in the sneaker works well with the star-spangled frock. It’s a cute look, even if it seems slightly off-model for her.

 

 

Mimosas and Bellinis are on us, ladies. Especially if we can get Katie to tell some Tom stories.

Gotta give it up to this guy. We didn’t think he had it in him:

We still loathe turtlenecks and we tend to think this speaks way more of February than it does of September, but if nothing else, we’ve really got to hand it to him for working such a bold and unique look. His hair color isn’t natural, but this is a masterful and dramatic way to set off ginger coloring. Spiking it so wildly only adds to the effect. He looks like a chic video game character.

1/ Sen. Dianne Feinstein referred a letter to the FBI containing information about possible sexual misconduct between Brett Kavanaugh and a woman when the two were in high school. The letter is said to be from one of Feinstein's California constituents. Feinstein did not show the letter to any of her Democratic colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee. (Newsweek / The Intercept / NPR / BuzzFeed News)

• Sen. Cory Booker released another batch of confidential documents related to Kavanaugh. The 28 new documents are from Kavanaugh's time in the Bush White House and show his involvement in judicial nominations. (NBC News / Politico)

• The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation vote until next week. (Washington Post)

2/ The Trump administration quietly redirected $200 million from various DHS programs to ICE accounts despite repeated congressional warnings of ICE's "lack of fiscal discipline" and "unsustainable" spending habits. Of the $200 million, $93 million will go toward immigrant detention and $107 million will go toward deportation expenses. The news comes a day after a financial document showed the administration diverted $10 million from FEMA to ICE in June. (CNN / NBC News)

3/ Meanwhile, the number of unaccompanied minors detained at the southern border has risen to a record high. Since last summer, the administration has increased by more than five-fold the number of children detained at federally contracted shelters dedicated to migrant children. This month, there were more than 12,800 children in custody, compared to 2,400 in May 2017. (New York Times)

4/ The DHS inspector general is investigating whether FEMA administrator Brock Long misused government vehicles during his commutes from Washington to North Carolina. The IG's office, which became interested in the case after one of Long's vehicles was involved in an accident, is looking into whether he misused government resources and personnel during his regular six-hour trips home. (Politico)

5/ Trump accused Democrats of inflating Hurricane Maria's death toll in Puerto Rico. "3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico," Trump tweeted. "When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths." He claimed Democrats added anyone who died for any reason to the list of hurricane-related deaths. He added: "I love Puerto Rico!" (New York Times / CNN / CNBC)

Notables.

1. Trump has made 5,000 false or misleading claims during his time in office. His 5,000th claim came yesterday in the form of a tweet about Robert Mueller: "Russian ‘collusion’ was just an excuse by the Democrats for having lost the Election!" (Washington Post)

2. An audio recording revealed the NRA gave Montana Sen. Jon Tester's opponent advance notice that it would be funding efforts to help defeat Tester in the midterms. The move could represent a violation of campaign finance laws, which legally bar the NRA from coordinating its ad buys with a federal campaign. (Daily Beast)

3. Negotiators from the House and Senate have agreed to a plan that would avoid another government shutdown as long as both sides sign it before the Sept. 30 deadline. Under the agreement, federal funding would be extended through Dec. 7. (NPR)

4. A report from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center found that a second round of GOP tax cuts would add $3.8 trillion to the federal deficit over the next two decades. The bill, which the House Ways and Means Committee approved Thursday, would reduce federal revenue by $631 billion over the next year and by another $3.15 trillion by the year 2038. (The Hill)

Are You Afraid of the Dark? movie to tell original story: https://t.co/aimVm0ILG0 pic.twitter.com/o3j0xdnRfQ

— Consequence of Sound (@consequence) September 8, 2018

Gary Dauberman (The Nun, It: Chapter Two) discussed the screenplay for the upcoming 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' film; “It is a completely original story I came up with, but it still has the Midnight Society and it still has the campfire."

He also discussed making the movie scary for kids. “I didn’t want to age it down too much because for it’s time, it had some really disturbing episodes and some really dark episodes. Not every story the Midnight Society told ended with happily ever after or a person learning their lesson and it will never happen again. I really embraced that side of things and I think it’s been a long time. I think fear is healthy for kids. I don’t think we have to always sand down the edges of things and that’s something I really wanted to do with Are You Afraid of the Dark."

A pair of Ruby Slippers worn by Judy Garland in the iconic MGM film The Wizard of Oz have been recovered after 13 years. The pair, which were on loan from collector Michael Shaw to the Judy Garland Museum of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, were stolen in 2005 by an unknown thief who somehow avoided the museum's security system and stole the slippers from a glass display case. The 13-year investigation included countless leads, psychic predictions, documentary follow-ups (such as 2015's "The Slippers" and an episode of Expedition Unknown which aired just last month) and even a dive expedition in 2015 following a rumor that teenagers had stolen the shoes and thrown them into a local lake.

A tip received in 2017 led the FBI and local police team to follow a new lead which ended with the recovery of the slippers.The location of the stolen shoes, the identity of the alleged thief, and other details have not yet been released. More details on the recovery will be announced in a livestreamed press conference--1 PM CT--this afternoon. The press conference will be available at http://www.grandrapidsmn.com/.

These repositories—all of them free or relatively inexpensive to visit—include the Boston Fire Museum and the Boston’s oldest house

The Boston region is home to some of the world's most notable museums. But it also hosts some lesser-known institutions of collective preservation.

These include one of the oldest military museums on the continent and one of the nation's most prominent repositories of African-American history. This updated map pinpoints these and others, many of them free.

Sony Music Entertainment has admitted in court that three songs on Michael Jackson’s first posthumous record were sung by an impersonator.

The three songs, ‘Breaking News’, ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Monster’ appeared on Michael Jackson’s first posthumous album, Michael in 2010 and were performed by an impersonator named Jason Malachi.

Miss Nicki showed up ready to go.

 

 

We always bow down to any diva who shows up to a talk show with a walking-in and a walking-out ensemble, but there’s something to be said about a diva who shows up in full TV-ready hair, makeup, dress and jewelry, like she doesn’t have any time or interest in hanging out in some green room. Girlfriend’s here to do the work and go home.

It’s an okay look, to be honest. Dramatic for a talk show and well-suited to her, but not particularly memorable as Balmains go. We’re impressed with her sweat control skills, because that doesn’t look particularly lightweight and it’s been a humid sort of week.
