E! News: What are the life experiences you drew from for this project?

Nick Cannon: Everything. I mean, this my entire adult life. I’ve had so much heartbreak. I’ve been a part of so many situations where I’ve been the one that’s hurt. I feel like this gives people a real authentic look into who I am—from the vulnerable side to the egotistical sides. It is like confessions of a broken soul with someone who yearns for love, who wants to figure it out but hasn’t gotten it right.

E!: What are you hoping your fans take away from this mixtape? 

NC: It’s the art. We haven’t had this type of honesty and vulnerability. We get the opportunity to really emote. I feel like a lot of times people see so many different sides of me, but they never really get to know the true me and how I approach something. If they get to see the actual side that gets to emote through this project, that’s my goal.

E!: You worked with so many amazing people on this mixtape. What was it like collabing with Brandy and what was her best advice?

NC: You hear the lyrics in the song. She was like “Yo, you have got to grow up, we are grown now.” I am doing the same thing I was doing when we were teenagers. But being under the tutelage of one of the greatest voices ever, I was honored. Like, “Wow, this is this is the GOAT and she’s showing me how to do it.” So, that was a lot of fun.

E!: You reference a lot of the women in your life on this mixtape. What do they think about it?

NC: They know me and they are like, “Oh, here he goes again.” Everybody’s so supportive and so loving, especially when it comes to art. I’m not intentionally trying to be a messy individual or anything, but one has to speak their truth and one has to be authentic.

Mindy Kaling has no time for the haters.

When the Never Have I Ever creator shared a look at the Scooby-Doo animated spinoff Velma during a Warner Bros Discovery Upfront presentation on May 18, she was blunt about her support for making the title character South Asian, Deadline reported. 

Mindy, who voices Velma, said, “Hopefully you noticed my Velma is South Asian. If people freak out about that, I don’t care.”

She went on to say that if a dog can solve crime, Velma “can be brown,” per Deadline.

Mindy is also the executive producer of the HBO Max series that uncovers the origin story of Velma Dinkley. The streamer announced the series in February 2021 and was met with backlash online as some fans saw her character as feeding into the South Asian brainiac stereotype, according to Deadline.

In July 2021, Mindy addressed the comments on Late Night with Seth Meyers, saying, “When it was announced that I was going to do the voice of Velma, people were very supportive and happy on Twitter. And so, I felt great because these are really intense fans, you know—cartoon, comic book fans, those are huge fans. And especially [for] a legacy show like this.”

Michael Consuelos finally got an in-person graduation ceremony.

The eldest son of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos took to his Instagram Story on May 18 to share a selfie before his long-awaited New York University commencement ceremony. The pic gave viewers a good look at the graduate in his purple gown and cap.

“My head was not built for these stupid hats,” the 24-year-old captioned the photo.

Michael—who is technically a member of the NYU class of 2020—studied film at the university.

Although he earned his diploma nearly two years ago, Michael’s official graduation was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. NYU honored the classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022 at the Yankee Stadium ceremony.

Back in May 2020, proud mama Kelly shared a throwback photo of Michael to honor the completion of his college journey.

“Fours years passed in the blink of an eye and today you take your final final exam in college,” she wrote. “Congratulations Michael! You’re a virtual graduate. Literally!”

Heidi Klum shared a series of jaw-dropping photos on Tuesday as the model took to Instagram and packed on the PDA with her husband Tom Kaulitz, 31. The married couple posed together on a balcony as they enjoyed a romantic date night, as the model’s other half cheekily grabbed her bottom.

Heidi showcased her enviable physique in a black dress which clung to her curves.

The figure-hugging minidress showed off her ample cleavage as the beauty flashed her long legs.

Her outfit boasted cutouts down the sides flashing a peek of extra skin and revealing she had forgone underwear.

Heidi’s blonde tresses flowed loosely down her back as she grinned in a number of photos.

Heidi captioned the post: “Date night,” followed by a heart emoji.

It comes just moments after she shared a risqué video where she almost spilled out of her show-stopping attire.

The beauty danced to Raving George’s song, You’re Mine.

As she danced and performed her signature model walk, Heidi went close up to the camera and put her cleavage directly into the camera.

Joan Collins, 88, looked phenomenal as she attended talent management company InterTalent’s 30th birthday party.

The ageless actress put on a cosy display with her husband, Percy Gibson, 57, as they made their way to the bash.

The loved up couple, who were photographed holding hands, have been married for 20 years.

For the event, Joan wore a black midi dress with an asymmetric neckline with lace inserts.

She completed the look with shiny silver stilettos and jewellery, while wearing her staple chestnut hair in voluminous curls.

Percy looked dapper in a grey suit complete with a silver tie and pink shirt.

The mum-of-one shared her fears and hopes with her followers on Instagram throughout her battle, and advocated for awareness about the disease.

Days before she died, she shared a series of family photos to Instagram and wrote: “It wasn’t a guarantee that I was going to be home this Mother’s Day”.

She addressed her two-year-old daughter as she continued: “I want to be strong and beautiful for her. I want to show her how to move throughout this world with compassion, strength, vivacity, humor and joy like my Mother showed me.”

Marnie’s family is yet to release a statement following her passing.

Last year, Linda said it was Pauline’s “choice” not to appear in the one-off Bird of a Feather episode in 2020 and that the cast had “to respect” her decision.

Pauline’s character Sharon Theodopolopodous was written out of the episode as being “stuck on a Covid cruise”.

It was later announced that the long-running sitcom had been axed despite attracting an audience of 7.9 million for the Christmas special.

ITV decided against ordering more episodes after Pauline decided not to take part in the special.

Rochelle, 33, swept across the red carpet in a bedazzled black dress, decorated with hundreds of sparkling gems.

The gown was made out of a mesh material which put her bottom on display as she flashed her underwear before giving a glimpse of her cleavage in the see-through number. 

The garment also featured a daring cut-out which showed off the This Morning presenter’s black beaded bra and toned tummy.

The dress had long sleeves, a high neckline, and a small train that trailed behind the star.

Rochelle wore her hair in a sophisticated low bun, which helped draw attention to her stunning features.

She accessorised with a pair of gorgeous drop-down diamond earrings, a bangle, and a few rings.

The star opted for a winged-eyeliner look which she paired with a warm-toned lip gloss.

Rochelle dazzled the crowd at Palais des Festivals in France, where the 75th annual Cannes film festival is being held this week.

Wallis, 27, stunned in the detailed ensemble that saw her cut a memorable silhouette on the Cannes red carpet for the screening of Top Gun: Maverick.

The star wore an asymmetrically-cut dress, which left her right shoulder bare.

Her left shoulder was covered by a long black train that fell all the way to the floor.

Similar black material hung from around her waist on the right hand side.

The middle of the dress was separated by a black, diagonal piece of fabric, while the rest was covered by a translucent, mesh material.

Below the unusual patterned meshing, the star’s bra and pants were clearly visible, while another daring thigh-high slit exposed her left leg.

The actress’ accessories matched the garment’s asymmetrical style, as she wore a long drop down pearl earring on her right ear and a simple stud on her left.

Wallis opted for sultry makeup, with a gentle smokey eye and shiny pink lipstick. 

Amber’s former pal also claimed that Johnny would label his fans “remoras” and would also take aim at his own family.

In his video statement, Mr Wright went on: “He would insult his fans, he called them — I remember, he called them remoras, which is a type of suckerfish that attaches itself to the hull of a ship and puts a hole in it and then sinks it.

“He would rail against his mother, his sister – sisters. Pretty much anyone he felt had crossed him or would cross him. He became very nasty.”

The cross-examination of Amber began on Monday, with Johnny’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, questioning the actress.
