Dave Chappelle Jabs LGBTQ Community & DaBaby In New Comedy Special
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Stacy Revere / Getty Dave Chappelle has never seen a controversy he doesn’t want to tackle head-on. And in his latest comedy special on Netflix, he proves that to be right once again by addressing the homophobic comments made by DaBaby as well as the response to them. In the early moments of The Closer, Chappelle lets the audience know that he approached this taping with “an objective” that ties into his previous specials on the streaming giant. “I came here tonight because this body of work that I’ve done on Netflix, I’m going to complete,” he began. “All the questions you might have had about all these jokes I’ve said in the last few years, I hope to answer tonight. And I’d like to start by addressing the [LGBTQ] community directly. I want every member ...
The Duchess of Cambridge Just Wore the Most Daring Colour Trend
One would never really describe Kate Middleton’s style as divisive or challenging. She is the Pied Piper of classic. She is the leader when it comes to lovely dresses and delightful coats. More often than not, she plays it safe in her favourite pumps and beloved trinket jewellery. It’s all par for the royal course, we know, but every now and then, the Duchess of Cambridge goes through a more daring streak, and when it happens, you can be sure that our editors become available to pore over every detail. Hot on the heels of a rather “wow” appearance last night for the premiere of the latest Bond movie, No Time to Die, the DoC followed up her stellar golden caped gown from Jenny Packham with another British designer today. Choosing a...
Will Smith: “Black Lives Matter” Works Better Than “Defund The Police”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: RENELL MEDRANO / GQ Versatile entertainer Will Smith feels that the global movement confronting systemic racism that rose up in the wake of the murder of George Floyd is something for the greater good of all – but feels that “defund the police” isn’t the best way for Black America to capitalize on the opportunity for change. In a cover profile interview with GQ magazine, Smith spoke about the positive aspects of the protests and how unifying they were. “The entire world was in lockdown, watched what happened to George Floyd, and stood up with one voice and said, We see it. We agree, he said. However, he sees slogans such as “defund the police” as confusing and not helping the community to achieve its goals. “‘Abolish the police. Defund the police.’ I woul...
Sex Education’s Chinenye Ezeudu Is Someone You Want to Hang Out With
“They go through a lot of challenges this season especially with [spoiler alert] Viv becoming head girl,” says Ezeudu. “That just throws a spanner in the works, and she has to question her morality a lot. But he supports her in a way that many people don’t and vice versa. We have such a special relationship, and I feel that in school, we all had those kind of relationships, so it’s really nice to see it flourish.” While we’re talking about the new season, there was one scene from season two I wanted to ask Ezeudu about—the scene with the girls in the library, when they talk about their experiences of sexual harassment and assault. How did she feel about filming such a significant and important scene, especially one so many of us can relate to? “In the moment, we didn’t know ...
Katie Holmes and Alexa Chung Are Styling Their Jeans in the Exact Same Way
Jeans and a button-down shirt might not be the most exciting outfit combination going, but over fashion month, Katie Holmes and Alexa Chung have both worn this classic duo in the exact same way. They only fastened one or two of the buttons close to the collar, leaving the rest of the shirt open to create a more dramatic, flowing effect when walking and make simple-cut jeans more interesting. Chung wore hers to a party in London with AMI celebrating the launch of The Queer Bible by Jack Guinness, and so she used accessories to make it more of an evening look. She opted for a dark-green silky oversized shirt with just one button fastened and added a sparkly belt and strappy stiletto heels. This is the perfect outfit for those who want to look fabulous but l...

You Don’t Know Lou Llobell Yet, But You’re About to See Her Everywhere
As sudden as it might seem, Llobell, a Zimbabwean Spanish actress based in London, has actually had a while to acclimate to the prospect. As with so many productions in TV and film, Foundation took longer to complete due to COVID-19. Additionally, the journey to securing her position as Gaal was a lengthy and arduous one: “I had three auditions. I had the first one with the casting director. The second was a recall with David Goyer and Rupert Sanders, who directed the first episode. And then, we had a five-day test week. It was five days of auditions every day—me and five other girls going up for my role. It was pretty intense, but it was a really wonderful thing to see because we’re all young actresses of colour, which I think you don’t get to see or be around very often. As intense as it...
Kerry Washington Honors Michael K. Williams At 2021 Emmy Awards
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: CBS Photo Archive / Getty The 2021 Emmy Awards had their share of highlights, and among the best of them was the poignant tribute to the late actor Michael K. Williams delivered by actress Kerry Washington. [embedded content] The highly popular film and television star of ABC’s Scandal and Little Fires Everywhere was tasked to introduce him and the other nominees for the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Montrose Freeman in HBO’s Lovecraft Country. “Michael was a brilliantly talented actor and a generous human being who has left us far too soon,” she said at the beginning of introducing the nominees, which included John Lithgow for Perry Mason, Tobias Menzies for The Crown, Giancarlo Esposito for The Mandalorian, a...
Victoria Beckham Just Wore the Coolest Jeans Outfit
Victoria Beckham isn’t showing on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, which means we won’t see the usual VB outings in and out of hotels and meetings in the lead up to her show. She might not have the LFW deadline this weekend, however she is still busy in the studio working on her final spring summer 2022 collection and last week she shared a picture of reviewing her looks. But it’s her outfit I’m most interested in, as she managed to make jeans and a sweatshirt look polished and so very ‘Posh.’ She wore her own namesake ‘Victoria’ jeans which are very high-waisted and have a flare and distressed detailing. She then tucked a grey sweatshirt into the waistband, and tied it together with a black leather belt. It’s the acce...
.Prosecutors Decide To Drop Charges Against T.I. and Tiny In L.A
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty The sexual assault case that was brought against T.I. and Tiny earlier this year has now been dropped by the prosecutors who filed them in Los Angeles, California. According to documents from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, the prosecutors made the decision on Thursday (September 16) to drop the charges against the rapper and his wife because of the initial case being beyond the statute of limitations. “Without the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence being evaluated, the case is declined due to the expiration,” the filing read. The statute of limitations in the state of California is ten years. The case brought against T.I. and Tiny was the result of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department after an unna...
Jenna Coleman Just Wore the Autumn Jacket Trend That’s All Over the High Street
We don’t get to see a lot of Jenna Coleman out and about, and more’s the pity as we’ve been long-time fans of her style. The actress is often spotted wearing more understated looks but that doesn’t mean we haven’t noticed her stylish outfits. Last night, she once again proved that less is more wearing a head-to-toe Chanel look that’s the perfect autumnal outfit for when you don’t want to wear a fancy dress but still want to look chic. While attending this year’s Royal Academy of Arts summer exhibition party, Coleman opted for a pair of chevron trousers, a Chanel belt and a classic Chanel bouclé jacket. Although we loved the whole ensemble, it’s the jacket that really caught our eye and reminded us just why the fashion house’s...
