TMZ.com 50 Cent made a rare public apology to Megan Thee Stallion this week ... but Luenell is not entirely convinced he did so out of the kindness of his heart. We bumped into the sassy comedian on Friday in NYC and she quipped that 50 was simply trying to get into Meg's good graces so he could then get in her bedroom. BigBoyTV Luenell tells us Meg's best revenge will just continue to be the same Grammy Award-winning, platinum-selling success that got her to this point. We also had to pick Luenell's brain on the current climate in comedy, in the wake of Eddie Murphy 's Will Smith joke at the Golden Globes ... which weirdly angered Tyrese , who in turn, angered Ray J . Getty Luenell tells us Eddie's punchline was killer and the Will Smith slap jokes are here to stay, now that the dust has settled on the controversy. Perhaps she'll bring some to "The Daily Show" ... as she officially tossed her name in … [Read more...] about Luenell Ribs 50 Cent For Megan Thee Stallion Apology, Wants To Host ‘Daily Show’

BACKGRID UPDATE 3:17 PM PT -- Megan Thee Stallion 's direct examination continued Tuesday afternoon, and it got even more emotional than her initial morning testimony -- with her touching on the impact this case has had on her ... including the notion that she wishes she was dead instead of having to deal with this today. UPDATE MTS teared up a lot during this second half, and she said she was having a hard time having to sit across from Tory Lanez ... whom she, again, insisted was the one who shot her. Megan explicitly repeated that she saw Tory with the gun, and didn't see Kelsey Harris with it. UPDATE As terrifying as the actual ordeal was, she says, Megan described how the aftermath has been, perhaps, even more difficult ... noting that her speaking up against Tory has put a target on her back in a male-dominated rap industry, where guys are prone to take Tory's side by default ... and that slut-shaming/misogynoir would wrongly ensue against … [Read more...] about Megan Thee Stallion Says She Wishes Tory Would’ve Just Killed Her

TMZ.com Tory Lanez might not be staring down a 22-year prison sentence if he'd hired renowned defense attorney Jose Baez during the trial ... at least according to Baez, who's feeling good about winning an appeal. Tory's new high-powered lawyer -- who famously won an acquittal for Casey Anthony --  joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live," saying he's ready to go all out for Tory too, but, interestingly ... said he regrets the fact Tory didn't call him in for the trial.

HBO Max ’s cancellation of voguing competition series Legendary has not gone down well in the LGBTQ+ community. GLAAD has slammed the move, which came last week as part of a swathe of cuts and cancelations at the embattled Warner Bros. Discovery streamer. The series was fronted by MC Dashaun Wesley with judges including Leiomy Maldonado, Jameela Jamil, Law Roach, Megan Thee Stallion and Keke Palmer and was one of the most inclusive non-scripted series on television. “ Legendary raised the bar for inclusivity on TV programming on so many different levels, especially when it comes to celebrating Black and queer culture,” GLAAD noted. “While Legendary is unfortunately just the latest LGBTQ-inclusive programming to get canceled by their network this year, the creative team and Scout Productions prioritized uplifting unheard talent and voices and we’re hopeful that these types of stories are able to be told again.” It was one of a number of inclusive … [Read more...] about GLAAD Slams HBO Max’s ‘Legendary’ Cancellation
