Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BETFat Joe has lost a significant amount of weight since emerging onto the rap scene, and it’s partially thanks to carb control. Speaking to US Weekly, he shares, “We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible. So we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That’s the smartest way to eat.”He also gives credit to Ozempic, joking that it “says you may only have two pieces of your favorite stuff.”While he’s lost a lot of weight, he’s careful not too lose much more because his wife, Lorena Cartagena, would kill him.”She likes me being a big boy,” Joe shared. “She hallucinates like I’m still that big boy. She loves that.”Fat Joe is set to take the stage Tuesday as host at the BET Hip Hop Awards.”It’s the culture, you know, and it’s one of the few chances where we get to see our camaraderie and link up with other artists that we love,” he says of the annual event. “Whether they may be the OGs or may be the youngest thing, smoking and representing the culture. That’s what my whole life is built on. So to be the host is a big honor.”He adds he’s a fan of all the rising rappers because he has been in their shoes.The 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards air Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on BET.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

Presley Ann/Getty Images for Fortune’s Most Powerful Women SummitLizzo has been out of the spotlight musically for awhile, but she’s been keeping an eye on the charts — and she says what’s been happening is literally something she’s been praying for.Speaking to Fortune at the publication’s Most Powerful Women Summit in California, Lizzo said when she first got into music, she was a rapper, so she was constantly asked, “How do you feel about being a female rapper in a male-dominated industry?””I started to resent that question,” she continued. “And I would answer, ‘You know what, my dream is that one day there are so many women that are dominating in the industry that you can fill an entire festival slot with just women.’ And that dream has come true.”Lizzo said artists like SZA and Chappell Roan are “redefining the music industry,” adding, “It’s an incredible time to be a woman, an artist, and a fan. Fans are getting fed right now because there’s so much great music out, and I’m so proud of my contemporaries and my sisters.”Lizzo’s appearance at the summit marked one of her first public appearances since she was accused by former employees of, among other things, creating a toxic work environment. She has denied all allegations. According to Fortune, Lizzo told the summit that she wasn’t afraid of being canceled anymore, joking that she “has pretty much been canceled for everything.”The “About Damn Time” singer also told the summit attendees that she’d already voted, for Kamala Harris. She posted footage of herself voting by mail wearing a Harris/Walz cap and a T-shirt that read, “It’s about MAdam Time.”Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Miramax/Buena Vista/Kobal/ShutterstockSamuel L. Jackson is ringing in three decades of Pulp Fiction with a callback to a classic scene.In an Instagram post on Monday to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the cult classic film’s release, Jackson ripped through the Pulp Fiction version of the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17, the now-famous verse which gained widespread attention from fans of the Quentin Tarantino movie.In the movie, Jackson delivers the now-famous passage as hitman Jules Winnfield, moments before he kills a thieving associate (Frank Whaley).”YOU KNOW I STILL GOT IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17,” Jackson captioned. “HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PULP FICTION.”The Pulp Fiction actor runs through the verse quickly, while hitting small bursts of emotion during the monologue’s peak moments, including the famous “furious anger” section.At the end of the film, Jackson recites the verse again, explaining that following a spiritual reawakening, he finds a different meaning.1994’s Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino’s most iconic films, the screenplay of which netted him and Roger Avary an Academy Award. The quotable crime drama film also starred Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, among others.The movie hit theaters Oct. 14, 1994, and has collected $212,891,598 in worldwide all-time box office, according to The Numbers.By the way, in the Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 exists, but Tarantino rewrote it for the movie. However, the “Ezekiel speech” was etched in pop culture history — in fact, it was literally etched in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: It can be seen on the headstone of the fake gravesite of Jackson’s Nick Fury at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

I love many types of writing from poetry to music, and eventually scripts and it has always been a special dream of mine to write children’s books,” Monét tells People in a statement. She wrote the book with the intention of helping kids and parents who are experiencing separation anxiety, much like she did with daughter Hazel.“In a way, writing this book healed a portion of naturally occurring mom guilt for not being able to be in two places at once,” Victoria revealed. “I think for a lot of moms, if we had the option, we would spend every waking hour loving on our children in their presence, but for the modern-day working woman, it just isn’t very realistic.”She continued, “I wanted to address it this way so that there would be reinforcement of a mutual understanding between parent and child that no matter how far apart we ever are at any given moment, we are together through love we share for each other!”Victoria says she’s already shared the book with her daughter, which gave her “a sense of peace knowing” Hazel can “understand this sentiment and carry mommy with her wherever she goes.”Everywhere You Are, the story of a moon “who comforts a young star when they must separate at the end of the night,” per the outlet, is due out in summer 2025. Intended for 2- to 5-year-olds, it will feature illustrations by Alea Marley and is set to be published in English and Spanish.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

He’s set to take the stage Dec. 14 and Dec. 15 for sold-out shows at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, which holds 94,000 seats.”When I saw the news that Chris Brown was coming to South Africa, I was shocked and deeply disappointed,” Sabina Walter, Women of Change’s executive director, said in a statement. “The petition was started to send a strong message that we will not tolerate the celebration of individuals with a history of violence against women.”She adds, “When someone like Chris Brown is given a platform in a country where (gender-based violence) is at crisis levels, it sends a damaging message – that fame and power outweigh accountability.”Chris Brown has been on the receiving end of several allegations and lawsuits accusing of him violence, with the most widely known case being Rihanna. He’s since been banned from performing in certain countries, including the U.K., Australia, Canada and New Zealand.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.

Photo by Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for WE tvR. Kelly’s daughter Buku Abi alleges that her father abused her when she was a child. She opens up about it for the first time publicly in a new documentary titled Karma: A Daughter’s Journey.“He was my everything. For a long time, I didn’t even want to believe that it happened,” the 26-year-old says of the alleged incident. “I didn’t know that even if he was a bad person that he would do something to me. I was too scared to tell anybody. I was too scared to tell my mom.”According to Buku, born Joann Kelly, R. Kelly assaulted her when she was about 8 or 9 years old while she was sleeping. “I just remember waking up to him touching me,” she says in tears. “And I didn’t know what to do, so I just kind of laid there, and I pretended to be asleep.”Buku eventually told her mother, Andrea Kelly, when she was 10 years old.“I really feel like that one millisecond completely just changed my whole life and changed who I was as a person and changed the sparkle I had and the light I used to carry,” she said. “After I told my mom, I didn’t go over there anymore; my brother [Robert] and sister [Jaah], we didn’t go over there anymore. And even up until now I struggle with it a lot.”Buku later said on Instagram she doesn’t hate her father and wasn’t looking for clout, noting she only opened up for her son and “peace of mind.”Two episodes of Karma: A Daughter’s Journey are now available on TVEI Networks. R. Kelly denied the allegations via his attorney Jennifer Bonjean.If you are affected by abuse and needing support, or know someone who is, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

The Hapa Blonde/GC ImagesMariah Carey is famous for having a preferred “side” when she’s being photographed or filmed, but in an upcoming episode of Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’ Las Culturistas podcast, she goes into great detail about what kind of lighting she prefers — or rather, doesn’t prefer.”I can’t with the overhead lighting,” she says in the clip. “Why do they do it to us? Why? And I shouldn’t even say ‘us’ because it’s not us, it’s me. I’m the one who’s the most tortured by the hideous lighting in every elevator, doorway, gyms — not that I go to the gym, but I’m just saying.”“It’s hideous lighting,” she continues. When Bowen suggests “the sun” is better, Mariah responds, “The sun is OK if it’s at sunset. And then I will gladly go outside and put a little hat on or whatever and that’ll be pretty because the sunlight’s caressing your skin.”“But it’s bad for you, so you have to be careful,” Carey adds. “But overhead lighting — I don’t think so, honey.”“Please stop it. Everywhere I go, shut the lights,” she added. “Turn them out. I don’t want to see them no more. No more, baby. Overhead lighting — it makes me sick.”Mariah’s comments came as part of a feature on the podcast called “I don’t think so, honey,” where a guest is given one minute to rant about something that bothers them.The full episode drops on Oct. 16.Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.

NBCUniversalYou may remember Deelishis from the dating show The Flavor of Love, but it’s time to introduce you to the woman behind the brand: London Charles. She’s officially made her return to reality TV for Peacock’s Queens Court, another dating show. After nearly 20 years, during which she divorced husband Raymond Santana, London’s now the one calling the shots.”This was a time in my life where the world knew that I had had a very public and bad divorce, so I was already vulnerable in front of the world, whether I liked it or not. And my story was being told incorrectly,” she shares with ABC Audio. “This was a chance for me to … write my own story. … And give myself an opportunity to love again. … I was already in front of the world. Now it would be from my angle.”No longer dependent on Flava Flav’s decisions, the show, which Flav encouraged her to do, gave London the chance to rethink her approach to love.”It was like you’re groomed to make sure that you fit the bill for a man,” she says. “At this stage in my life, I needed to rethink that and start being myself and looking for love based on not just the man, but myself included.”With help from therapists, hosts Holly Robinson and Rodney Peete, and her sister queens K. Michelle and LisaRaye McCoy, London says dating on Queens Court was easier than in real life, though they had to vet 21 men. It was an experience that helped her learn “it’s OK for me to choose myself.””I needed to give myself that crown that comes with queen when you think of Queens Court,” London says. “So I love that they gave me that back.” Copyright © 2024, ABC Audio.
