KENDALL JENNER IS REPORTEDLY DATING LAKERS ROOKIE D’ANGELO RUSSELL

Yet another member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been linked to a basketball player, this time, it’s Los Angeles Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell, who is reportedly dating Kendall Jenner, who turns 20 today (!). In case you’re wondering about the ethics of it all, D’Angelo Russell is just as young (19).

Jenner was photographed courtside at a recent Lakers game, so they must be dating, according to Hollywood Life, and a myriad of other gossip blogs. No word yet on how Kobe Bryantfeels about this, but he may be too busy trying to figure out why he couldn’t buy a bucket during the Lakers 0-3 start.

Adele: Inside Her Private Life and Triumphant Return

s Adele steers through a South London high street in her four-door Mini Cooper, with her toddler's vacant car seat in back and the remains of a kale, cucumber and almond-milk concoction in the cup holder, a question occurs to her. "What's been going on in the world of music?" she asks, in all sincerity. "I feel out of the loop!"

The only possible response is way too easy: Well, there's this one album the entire industry is waiting for...

"Oh, fuck off!" Adele says, giving me a gentle shove and letting loose the charmingly untamed laugh — an ascending cascade of forceful, cartoonish "ha's" — that inspired a YouTube supercut called "The Adele Cackle."

"Oh, my God, imagine," she continues, green eyes widening. "I wish! I feel like I might be a year too late." It's as if her last album, 2011's 21, hadn't sold a miraculous 31 million copies worldwide in an era when no one buys music, as if it hadn't sparked the adoration of peers from Beyoncé to Aretha, as if it hadn't won every conceivable award short of a Nobel Peace Prize.

6 Things 'Empire' Gets Wrong About Hip-Hop

Fox's new series, Empire, is a music-industry drama that's being promoted as The Sopranos set in the world of hip-hop. Many critics – from the New York Times to Entertainment Weekly – have praised the show and its bona fides, celebrating the "attentiveness to nuanced characterizations" and noting Timbaland's attachment makes the show "absolutely credible." It's a fine enough primetime soap opera, but there's a difference between hip-hop and hip-hoppish; the realest things on-screen are the fake Basquiat paintings in the background. If you're looking for anything resembling behind-the-scene authenticity or insight into how the game is played, Empire is a world away. Here are six dealbreaker examples where, in the eyes of this hip-hop fan, the show gets it really wrong:

Sex, Drugs and R&B: Inside the Weeknd's Dark Twisted Fantasy

so is this swearing or no swearing?" In a darkened soundstage on the outskirts of London, Abel Tesfaye is wondering if he can say "fuck" or not. Tesfaye, better known as breakout pop sensation the Weeknd, is at a rehearsal for Later...With Jools Holland, the BBC music show, about to soundcheck his smash hit "The Hills," a four-minute horror-movie booty call featuring more than a dozen f-bombs. For Tesfaye, that's relatively clean, but he knows the pensioners in Twickenham might disagree. So when the verdict comes back "no swearing," he nods and smoothly pivots to a censored version — a small gesture that says a lot about the kind of professional he has become.

"The Hills" is currently enjoying its fourth straight week at Number One, a feat made even more impressive because it took the place of another Weeknd track, "Can't Feel My Face" — Spotify's official song of the summer, and the only song about cocaine ever to be lip-synced by Tom Cruise on network TV. Tesfaye is just the 12th artist in history to score back-to-back Number Ones, a group that includes Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Taylor Swift. His new album, Beauty Behind the Madness, has sold more than half a million copies in a couple of months, and he's preparing to launch a national arena tour in November. "I'm still digesting it, to be honest with you," Tesfaye says of his success. "But the screams keep getting louder, dude."

President Obama announced Monday (November 2nd) an executive order which bans federal employers from asking about an applicant’s criminal history until later on in the application process.

The order known as “ban the box” which describes the actual checkbox on applications that inquires if applicant have ever been convicted of a crime, is intended to help former convicts successfully re-enter into society.

While many employers who argue against the move say the checkbox is a commonsense way to vet who they’re potentially hiring, many criminal justice reform activists have long charged this process to be just one of the many hurdles for men and women who have been convicted looking to get a fresh start.

Jada Pinkett-Smith Talks About Her 'Open' Marriage to Will Smith: 'I'm Not His Watcher'

Jada Pinkett-Smith steps out of the SiriusXM studios after her interview on the Howard Stern Show on Wednesday (May 3) in New York City.
The 43-year-old actress went on the radio program and Howard Stern asked her about her notoriously “open” marriage to Will Smith.
“You gotta trust who you’re with, and at the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher,” Jada said. “I’m not his watcher. He’s a grown man.”
