There’s no greater honor (for a publicist) than landing a spot on the Time 100, Time Magazine’s publicist prom. Induction into the Time 100 comes with a fancy photo-shoot (for some) and a seemingly randomly assigned essay extolling the winner’s virtue. Ergo, Jimmy Kimmel was selected to write about this year’s cover boy for the Leaders category, Dr. Anthony Fauci when Dr. Phil would obviously have been a better choice. You know, Dr. to Dr. Sometimes it makes a little sense, like Marlon Brando Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, honoring Indigenous activist Nemonte Nenquimo who has worked to protect rainforests in the Ecuadorian Amazon, even though she’s way too old to fuck at 33. But then you have Kim Kardashian West waxing poetic about JoJo Siwa and you think to yourself, is it too early to start drinking?

(It’s not, by the way.) The Time 100 is broken down into five categories, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, Titans and Icons. Why not just pick Lindsay Lohan as the Time 1 since she is unrivaled in all five categories? I have no idea. They wasted time and resources and spread it out instead. The list is also without rank— you are either on it, like Selena Gomez, or you’re not, like Kanye West. Here’s Time explaining their selection process.

We’ve been doing the TIME 100 list of the world’s most influential people for nearly 20 years. But there has never been a year like this. A year of multiple crises, all over the world, all at once.

And so this year’s list looks far different than any of us could have predicted just six months ago. The TIME 100 has always been a mirror of the world and those who shape it. While you will certainly find people who wield traditional power on this year’s list—heads of state, CEOs, major entertainers—it also includes many extraordinary, lesser-known individuals who seized the moment to save lives, build a movement, lift the spirit, repair the world.

I mean, congratulations to the lesser-known individuals hive I guess. The LKIs on the list include “a record number of doctors, nurses and scientists” and “many activists fighting for equality.” Personally, I’m content just celebrating Michael B. Jordan’s protest ‘stache.

Dwyane Wade no longer has to worry about checking his privacy hedges for peacock feathers. Terry Crews can stop thinking of new and more creative ways to ask, “But don’t all complaints matter though?” Because Gabrielle Union’s fight against NBC and America’s Got Talent is almost over. Deadline is reporting that Gabrielle and NBC have reached an “amicable resolution” regarding her accusations of racism, sexism, discrimination, and unsafe workplace practices.

Gabrielle and NBC released a joint statement earlier today to confirm that both parties are reportedly satisfied with the outcome. Their joint statement reads:

“We’ve reached an amicable resolution. NBC Entertainment appreciates the important concerns raised by Gabrielle Union and remains committed to ensuring an inclusive and supportive working environment where people of all backgrounds can be treated with respect.”

Deadline says that Gabrielle received “significant” compensation.

After Gabrielle was suddenly let go from as a judge on AGT, she implied that she was fired because she was vocal about her experience as a Black woman on the show. Sources claimed that Gabrielle faced discrimination for having a variety of Black hairstyles, and that she was punished for speaking up about a problematic joke told by Jay Leno. Gabrielle also had a big problem with AGT’s Jesus, Simon Cowell. She accused him of smoking like a chimney on set, and that the second-hand smoke was so bad, she got bronchitis. Gabrielle claimed that she tried to issue a formal complaint about the smoking indoors, but that her requests for Simon to puff outside were ignored.

NBC revealed that they had opened a dialogue with Gabrielle regarding her complaints of a toxic work environment, and in June Gabrielle gave us all an update on how that was going. According to Gabrielle, NBC’s independent investigation wasn’t that independent – she alleged it was paid for by NBC, Fremantle Media, and Syco (the production companies behind AGT). She also alleged she received threats from NBC chairman Paul Telegdy.

Even though Gabrielle more than implied than NBC was just going through the workplace complaint motions, it’s clear that they both found some middle ground they were happy with. So I believe that statement about it being an amicable resolution. Because if Gabrielle had any hesitation, or if the bullshit smell got too strong, she’d round up Lava and Jenelope and the rest of the Clovers and head to NBC’s head office.u7ju7jm Wait, what do you mean real life isn’t Bring It On?

Ah, the Monday after Halloween. Every year it’s the same. The fun’s been had and all we have left are the memories of slutty vampires (like Demi Lovato, seen above) and, as is the case this year, even sluttier Tiger Kings, to break up the monotony of a long, dark fall. This year especially, there is literally nothing going on between now and Thanksgiving to distract us. NOT ONE THING! So let’s relive the excitement of the weekend before the mundanity of tomorrow saps us of every chilling thrill and thrilling chill the season has to offer. Because, like I said, it’s gonna be nothing but luke-warm Pumpkin Spice lattes for excitement for the foreseeable future. So here’s a roundup of what some of the notable Halloween costumes of 2020. Let’s look over there, shall we?

via GIPHY

With no parties to attend (unless you’re a rich asshole), Halloween could have been a real drag this year. And in some cases it was! For example, is that Nicki Minaj I see? Always a frightening prospect, but this time it’s actually once and former Barb, Lil Nas X, paying homage with a look from Niki’s Super Bass video.

Now, if Nicki had dressed up as Lil Nas X in return, I’d really be impressed. But she didn’t, so I’m not. However, the woman who once generously tried to donate a shoe to Nicki’s face, Cardi B., went all out with two looks, Medusa and Marvel’s Scarlet Witch.

Something weird happened to my face looking at those pics. The muscles at the sides of my face contracted upwards to give a Joker-esque quality to my mouth.

Sometimes if you’re really good, the horny heavens open up and blesses you with a gift so wonderful you have to raise your hand up to the sky and shout “Thank Ya Jesus!” And that’s exactly what I did when I heard NBA legend Dwyane Wade posted a nude photo of himself on his Instagram page. But of course, since this is someone I actually wouldn’t mind seeing naked there’s a catch 22. And the gag is he’s not alone in the photo, which sounds hot at first until you find out it’s not with another NBA player. But instead with his age-defying, Benjamin Button ass wife Gabrielle Union.

Now I know what you’re saying, “God Ben you so thirsty. He already posed nude once before,” and you are absolutely right on both counts. I am thirstier than a dehydrated sponge. And yes, back in 2016 Dwyane posed for ESPN’s Body Issue:

It took me about fifteen seconds to realize he was even holding a basketball in this picture the first time I saw it, so it’s not like we haven’t already seen him kinda naked. Well, retirement must be bringing out Dwyane’s inner exhibitionist (or stripper) because he’s at it again and this time Gabrielle is there to make sure he doesn’t show too much. According to People, Dwyane, who celebrated his 39th birthday this past Sunday, took to IG to show everyone he is still celebrating. And he did so while standing completely butt naked behind Gabrielle, who’s smiling like she just got a check from Publisher’s Clearinghouse.

Perhaps they wanted to give their America’s Got Talent spies a little peep show just in case they came back around but in any event, I’m not mad at all. Unfortunately, while the world is applauding their somewhat coy yet totally blatant sexy photo their children, on the other hand, are repulsed and embarrassed.

For a company that prides itself on “Imagineering,” whatever the fuck that means, Disney sure seems to lack good old-fashioned imagination. According to Deadline, Disney+ is working on a “reimagining” of Cheaper by the Dozen, that old Steve Martin movie, which was already a remake of the 1950 film of the same name, which was an adaptation of a 1948 book of the same name. There’s a reason “reimagining” isn’t a real word, just saying. And they are really straining the bounds of credulity by casting Zach Braff and Gabrielle Union as the mom and pop of a “multiracial, blended family.” Look, I’ll buy a 1’ tall genocidal 50-year-old infant that can move shit with its mind, but Zach Braff pulling Gabrielle Union and putting a gang of babies up in her? Sirs/ma’ams, you have lost your minds.

The Beige-ish Bunch Cheaper by the Dozen is being written and produced by Kenya Barris and his Black-ish executive producer Jenifer Rice-Genzuk Henry. Deadline reports:

Zach Braff is attached to join Gabrielle Union in the forthcoming Cheaper by the Dozen reimagining from Black-ish creator/executive producer Kenya Barris. The film is being developed for Disney+ and is slated to drop on the streamer in 2022.

Written by Barris and Grown-Ish executive producer Jenifer Rice-Genzuk Henry, the new version of the family comedy centers on a multiracial, blended family of 12, navigating a hectic home life while managing their family business. Braff is set to play the father. Gail Lerner will direct while Shawn Levy and Union will serve as executive producers.

Hats off to Kenya for resisting the urge to call this Cheap-ish by the Dozen-ish. A great feat of restraint I didn’t think he was capable of. And congrats to Zach for having something he can point to when people complain about him dating a much younger woman. Gabrielle, his soon-to-be TV wife, is actually 2 years older than him (she’s 48, he’s 45, his girlfriend Florence Pugh is 25 please don’t @him)!

The 2021 Billboard Music Awards were last night and since things are “getting back to normal” (whatever that means), it was a maskless affair. But honestly, I wish Machine Gun Kelly was forced to wear a mask because then we wouldn’t see his black-stained tongue, which made him look like he tossed the salad of The Tar Monster from Scooby-Doo.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly and his bootleg Jennifer’s Body tongue did their part as the original Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian by grossing everyone out with this:

Gabrielle Union‘s unchanged vampire face has been a huge part of the culture since her days as a thirty-year-old teenager in the classic film Bring It On. And during that time, another thing she loved shaking her pompoms for was extramarital affairs. Of course, it’s something she no longer engages in after her current husband Dwyane Wade matched her energy by saying “Two can play that game my love” and their union has become stronger (and sexier) over the years as a result. But Gabrielle admits her first marriage, to ex-NFL player Chris Howard, had no redeeming qualities other than knowing she could cheat whenever she wanted to since she was the one making all of the money.

Page Six reports during a recent interview with Dax Shepherd and Monica Padman on their Armchair Expert podcast, the subject of Gabrielle’s first marriage came up, and she probably informed them to break out more wine before she responded. When she and Chris were together between 2001 and 2006 she admitted that their marriage put the “fun” in the word dysfunctional. And one of the ways she ensured the divorce proceedings would be accelerated was by entertaining other men mainly because, since she was the primary breadwinner, she could.

“I was paying all the bills, I was working my ass off and I felt like that’s what comes [with it],” the actress, 50, recalled on Monday’s episode of Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

The “Bring It On” star called infidelity “the spoils of riches,” adding, “Like my dad before me, whoever has the most gets to do whatever the hell they want, is what I thought.”

Now, before you go thinking Gabrielle was spending most days dropping it low for anyone who showed her attention Chris was out in the streets doing the exact same thing. And because of the volatile nature of their relationship, Gabrielle did whatever she could to ensure Chris realized she could think like a man, too.

“Neither one of us felt like our marriage should get in the way of our dating,” she joked.

“Part of it was keeping up with his activities,” she continued. “I was like, ‘Oh, that’s what you’re doing? Oh, you’re gonna feel this one.’”

The “We’re Going to Need More Wine” author called the romance a “stupid” one that “should have never gotten out of the dating phase,” explaining that she and the athlete, 47, had “not one thing in common, no morals, no values, no scruples.”

Happy 2023 Good news- the sim is in our favor this year…starting with this nugget: We opened 2022 with @DwyaneWade and just so happened to kick off this year with @itsgabrielleu she’s pretty much the coolest person on earth and #goals. Enjoy on @spotifypodcasts now! pic.twitter.com/tuT4J5C6hH

Hey man, Chris’ loss was Dwyane’s gain. And the two of them have no problems letting us (and their poor children) know they love to slam dunk each other’s nether regions whenever possible. But this tale may also explain how her now-ended feud with Jada Pinkett-Smith began back in the day because Jada probably asked her “How do you and Chris keep your marriage spicy?” to which Gabrielle smirked and replied, “Entanglements, girl.”

Dwyane Wade spent years as a Florida mainstay, killing it on the court with the Miami Heat before retiring back in 2019. Now, he spends his time killing it as a supportive dad and advocate for his daughter, Zaya, who is transgender. But, ever since Ron DeSantis was elected governor, Florida has become a place where Disney magic and LGBTQ+ rights have come under fire. Because of this, Dwyane, his (literally cockblocking, but gorgeous) wife Gabrielle Union, and their five kids have taken their ball and gone home–to a different state.

Zaya came out as transgender a few years ago to the full support of Dwyane and Gabrielle, and recently made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week. via TMZ:

…Dwyane’s 15-year-old daughter Zaya came out as transgender in 2020. She’s since legally changed her name and gender. Wade has been very outspoken in his support of his daughter.

But one look at the comment sections of anything Dwyane or Gabrielle posts about Zaya on Instagram shows the transphobia and bigotry they deal with outside of their bubble:

Dwyane recently guested on Headliners with Rachel Nichols and shared that he made the decision to move his family to an undisclosed different state because Florida has enacted legislation like the “Don’t Say Gay” bill that’s caused it to become an even more unaccepting, rights-snatching, yee-haw humid cesspool than it had been before, with no end to the madness in sight.

“That’s another reason why I don’t live in [Florida]. A lot of people don’t know that,” D-Wade responded when Nichols asked what message he’d send to state legislators.

The 3x NBA champ continued … “I have to make decisions for my family, not just personal, individual decisions.”

Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, and many state-level lawmakers have passed controversial legislation, including the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, amongst other laws, and Wade flat out says his family wouldn’t be comfortable.

“You know, obviously, the taxes is great. Having Wade County is great. But my family would not be accepted or feel comfortable there. And, so that’s one of the reasons why I don’t live there,” Dwyane told Nichols.

Florida’s state symbol has basically become a toothless gator in a MAGA hat clutching a Bible with an AR-15 strapped to its back, and as such, the Wade’s Florida exodus isn’t a rare occurrence among its LGBTQ residents. And while Ron continues to get outsmarted by a mouse, threatens to run for POTUS, and reigns over Florida, Dwyane and his family are busy fighting the good fight with the support of a real queen:

One power couple who loves to remind us they still like to fuck is Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. To say they like to keep our stomachs churning with their spicy love is an understatement, but they also share a love for each other’s finances. Last month, people questioned the finances in their household after Gabrielle’s discussion about the matter during an interview on the Black Millionaires podcast. The internet says that Gabrielle’s net worth is $40 million while Dwayne’s is a reported $170 million. So many had thoughts when Gabrielle said that she and Dwayne split all their bills 50/50. But now, Dwyane is letting everyone know that there is a 50/50 split with the finances in their household. And this will probably be the last time either speaks on this matter again.

Earlier this year, Gabrielle did an interview where she admitted infidelity was a perk of her first marriage and that karma came back to bite her in the ass during her relationship with D-Wade. And recently, Gabrielle was on the Black Millionaires podcast and spilled the tea about her and D-Wade’s joint piggybank. via AfroTech

When breaking down her finances, Union revealed the financial structure of her household with her husband, Dwyane Wade.

“It’s weird to say that I’m the head of the household because in this household, we split everything 50/50,” Union shared. 

“But in the other households that each of us has to support, there’s always like this gorilla on your back that is like you better work,” she added. “You gonna sleep in? Somebody might not eat. And it’s hard. It’s hard to let that go, so I’m working on it.”

Gabrielle’s candid answer about her personal business garnered a reaction from people who, of course, had serious thoughts. So while on the Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this week, host Shannon Sharpe brought up people’s reaction to the 50/50 split. D-Wade is doubling down on what Gabrielle said because they do, in fact, split the finances in half. Dwyane also explained why they started splitting bills and said it was her idea after he claimed their Miami house as his own since he bought it. via Just Jared

During an appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast published Monday, the retired NBA star, 41, discussed the 50/50 money split, which made headlines when his wife discussed it during a podcast appearance of her own last month.

Wade explained to host Shannon Sharpe that the agreement came following a comment he flippantly made to the actress, 50, when they lived in Miami.

“I said something about it being my house that I paid for. My wife looked at me and said ‘you will never say that to me again when it’s something that we share,’” he recalled. “My wife was like, ‘when we move to L.A., I got half on it. You will never say my house again.’ She said, ‘you can say that in the arena!’”

He added that they pooled their finances together to buy a fantastic house, but that they don’t pay for everything like that.

“We probably share three things in our life that we’re 50/50 on. Everything else, I’m 1,000%, and she’s 1,000%. We decided that certain things in our life we would share in it,” he continued.

Dwyane explained that they also split costs on their shared daughter. However, they each handle the “20 to 50 responsibilities” that they have personally.

“When I say that, that means she has her mother, she has her sisters, she has her dad so she has a lot of things she’s responsible for,” he said. “She pays 100% of that and you know what I do? I pay 100% of my life.”

D-Wade admitted that as far as family members outside of their home, including Gabrielle’s immediate family, they both 100% take on responsibility for those things separately. But when it comes to the D-Wade/G-Union domicile, they’re in it together, which is why they both signed a prenup.

Wade also spoke about Union signing a prenup in their marriage. “I told her the same way, ‘I’ll sign a prenup too. You’re a millionaire, you got money. You work hard for yourself.’

I don’t see anything wrong with this at all. And I think the amount of shock and awe coming from folks outside their marriage is from people who would fight over the last two pieces of a Kit Kat if it came down to it. But that’s a level of poverty and petty D-Wade, and Gabrielle will hopefully never have to experience in their lifetimes.
