The second season of BMF concluded with Meech (Demetrius Flenory Jr.) and Terry (Da’Vinchi) splitting up in what will set up a season three in two separate locations. Meech took his talents to Atlanta with the hope of building a base in the city for BMF while Terry stayed in Detroit and continue building what BMF started there. Additionally, B-Mickie was also kicked out of the group after he was accused of working with the police (for a second time) after was seen speaking to Detective Jin. There are big things in store for BMF season three and we now know when to expect a new batch of episodes.
In a new interview with Uproxx, Lala Anthony, who plays Markeisha Taylor on BMF, revealed that season three of the show will premiere in January 2024. “I just finished filming season three of BMF, which will drop in January, so people seem to be excited for another season of BMF,” she said in a conversation with Uproxx’s Cherise Johnson.
This release date does seem to align with the schedule STARZ may have for 50 Cent’s cinematic universe later this year. If it models past schedules, things would start with the premiere of Power Book IV: Force on September 1, a season that will conclude at the top of November after ten episodes. Next would be another unnamed series (maybe Raising Kanan?), and following ten episodes of that, we can assume that BMF season three will premiere within the first two weeks of January 2024.

Seasons 1 and 2 of ‘BMF’ is available on the STARZ app.
If you’re an adult, odds are you’ve had a break-up. They’re usually painful enough in one way or another, but it’s particularly bittersweet when you still feel love for that person even after the relationship ends—yearning for them to be in your life but knowing that, for whatever reason, you must part ways. It’s not the most pleasant feeling, but certainly a universal one.
That’s perhaps why everyone’s heart melted after charming firefighter Trent Toney appeared on “America’s Got Talent” to sing an original ballad he wrote about his ex-wife, Faith, whom he unabashedly admitted he was still in love with.
“I think we were both immature, I think we both made a lot of mistakes, but I don’t think getting married to her was one of them,” Toney said before stepping up to his keyboard.
Judge Heidi Klum was so moved by Toney that she ended up FaceTiming his ex-wife to make sure she wouldn’t miss it. Good call, Heidi, because holy moly, that voice. How does someone have the ability to rush into burning buildings and sing like that?
Watch Toney perform his original song “Always and Lately” below:
“That is real courage right there. Standing in front of a whole audience to admit you’re in the wrong and devoting the audition for the person you love. Real respect right there,” one person wrote in the YouTube comments.
“This is sooo heartwarming, a very lovely voice and his song was sooo beautiful,” added another.
Immediately after his performance, Toney received “yes” votes from all four judges, taking him on to the next round. But really, all he was concerned about was whether or not Faith was okay.
Because everybody must have been wondering: at the end of the video, “AGT” informed viewers that while Faith “enjoyed Trent’s song,” they are “still not together.” Sometimes that’s the route life takes us on. Doesn’t make the stops along the way any less beautiful.
Back in the late ’80s, NASA was looking for ways to detoxify the air in its space stations. So it conducted a study to determine the most effective plants for filtering the air of toxic agents and converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.
In 1989, their results were published in a clean air study that provided a definitive list of the plants that are most effective at cleaning indoor air. The report also suggested having at least one plant per every hundred square feet of home or office space.
1. Dwarf Date Palm
2. Boston Fern
3. Kimberly Queen Fern
4. Spider Plant
5. Chinese Evergreen
6. Bamboo Palm
7. Weeping Fig
8. Devil’s Ivy
9. Flamingo Lily
10. Lilyturf
11. Broadleaf Lady Palm
12. Barberton Daisy
13. Cornstalk Dracena
14. English Ivy
15. Varigated Snake Plant
16. Red-Edged Dracaena
17. Peace Lily

The concept of being an introvert versus an extrovert is a fairly new one. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung first came up with both terms in the early 1900s, and from the get-go, it was understood that people’s personalities generally fell somewhere between the two extremes.
Nowadays introverts are often mislabeled as being antisocial, which isn’t necessarily true. Going off of the Jung definition, introverted people simply orient toward their “internal private world of inner thoughts and feelings”—unlike extroverts, who “engage more with the outside world of objects, sensory perception, and action.”
Most introverts will tell you, it’s not that we hate people. We just find them … draining. What we tend to detest are things like trivial small talk and the cacophony of large groups. But even that, many introverts can turn on for, enjoy even … so long as we can promptly go home afterwards and veg out.
Being introverted is certainly not unique—up to half of the entire population is estimated to be introverted. Heck, it’s even a trait for animals. And it’s certainly not a weakness. Many notable leaders were known for being reserved. However, the world is often made to favor extroversion, making it hard for introverts to be understood, let alone valued.
Reddit user Sarayka81 asked for introverts to share their “nightmare situations.” The answers are an eye-opening (and pretty hilarious) glimpse into how one person’s idea of normal, or even fun, can be another person’s torture.
Enjoy 15 of the best responses. Introverts, beware.
1. Public marriage proposals
“I’ve told every partner so far, if you propose in public I will turn it down.” – @AngelaTheRipper
“All those youtube videos of these big proposals, like a whole dance routine pop up…everyone is like ‘omg what a great gesture!’ No. no. no.” – fearme101
2. Afterparties
“You mean there’s more stuff to do after the stuff we planned on doing? I only have so much energy to deal with people and it was already used up.” – @Nyctomancer
3. Being picked out of the crowd to speak
“People who just raise their hand to be chosen are true heroes.” – @Chogolatine
4. Unexpected visitors
“As a child my worst nightmare was when my parents got visitors and I’m stuck upstairs hungry and thirsty because I can’t access the kitchen.” – @mikasott
“Ask them nicely, ‘would you kindly REMOVE yourself from my personal space.‘” – @GDog507
“But that requires talking to them.” – @StinkyKittyBreath
5. Introducing yourself
“I get locked jaw when this happens. Along with sweaty palms and cold sweat.” – @ellisonjune
6. Multiple conversations at once
“I was at a conference where everyone is doing the circle thing and I was chatting with some people about some interesting, but pretty dry, industry topics. All of the sudden I hear someone in another conversation circle say something along the lines of: ‘Yeah man, gorillas will rip your head off.’
All of the sudden, I can’t concentrate on my current conversation and my brain tunes into the gorilla conversation instead. I could not for the life of me tune back into my main conversation.” – @reAchilles
7. Running into someone you know in a public place
“All you want to do is read your book, but there’s no way out and you decide to put up a brave front. Already you can hear the office gossip in your head: ‘Oh my God, guess who I was stuck on the train with…’Nightmare fuel. Work from home was a blessing in this regard.” – @jew_bisquits
8. Singing “Happy Birthday” at a restaurant
“This shouldn’t be legal” – @Chogolatine
9. Surprise parties
“I’m essentially the 49th wheel at my own party. Kill me now.” – @Anneboleyn33
10. Being talked over
“Especially when the only thing the person interjects with is filler or exclamatory flurry that adds nothing to the conversation while stifling any other contribution. Things like ‘yes girl yes!’ or ‘I can’t believe that!’ or …even loud forced laughter – really any noise interjected in that space to make it seem like they’re contributing or listening instead of actually participating.” – @torn_anteater
11. Networking events
“Don’t forget to come up with a fun fact!” – @sub_surfer
12. Extroverts who just don’t get it

14. Impromptu work presentations
“I need like a couple days to prepare myself for any speaking engagement lol.” – @koriroo
15. Party games that involve small talk
“‘Who’s up for two truths and a lie?’
Thinks … Can they all be lies? No … What are the most boring truths I can think of so no one comes up to talk to me after this?‘” – @littlewittlediddle
Some icons have truly left this world too early. It’s a tragedy when anyone doesn’t make it to see old age, but when it happens to a well-known public figure, it’s like a bit of their art and legacy dies with them. What might Freddie Mercury have created if he were granted the gift of long life? Bruce Lee? Princess Diana?
Their futures might be mere musings of our imagination, but thanks to a lot of creativity (and a little tech) we can now get a glimpse into what these celebrities might have looked like when they were older.
Alper Yesiltas, an Istanbul-based lawyer and photographer, created a photography series titled “As If Nothing Happened,” which features eerily realistic portraits of long gone celebrities in their golden years. To make the images as real looking as possible, Yesiltas incorporated various photo editing programs such as Adobe Lightroom and VSCO, as well as the AI photo-enhancing software Remini.
“The hardest part of the creative process for me is making the image feel ‘real’ to me,” Yesiltas wrote about his passion project. “The moment I like the most is when I think the image in front of me looks as if it was taken by a photographer.”
Yesiltas’ meticulousness paid off, because the results are uncanny.
Along with each photo, Yesiltas writes a bittersweet message “wishing” how things might have gone differently … as if nothing happened.
“I wish he hadn’t been affected by the exhaustion of his role.”
One of Ledger’s most notable roles is queer cowboy Ennis Del Mar in Ang Lee’s iconic 2005 romantic western drama “Brokeback Mountain.” In a time when queer storytelling was still taboo, Ledger’s honest and compassionate portrayal broke down a lot of barriers for future stories.
Though Ledger officially died due to an overdose, many believe it was his role of The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” that pushed him over the edge.
Janis Joplin
“I wish she hadn’t sought the inspiration she needed elsewhere.”
The powerful singer with electric stage presence is still one of the greatest female rock stars of all time. Scratch that—one of the greatest rock stars of all time, period.
Jimi Hendrix
“I wish he hadn’t sought the inspiration he needed elsewhere.”
Like Joplin and Ledger, Hendrix died due to an overdose—though many have speculated that it was instead the result of foul play.
However questionable his personal life was, the King of Pop made some of the biggest contributions to music of all time. People continue to sing his songs, and likely will for a very, very long time.
Kurt Cobain
“I wish he had decided to stay.”
The insightful, poetic and troubled Cobain took his life at 27. His story is a cautionary tale that success does not necessarily help thwart struggles with mental health.
Bruce Lee
“I wish he hadn’t taken that painkiller that day.”
The actor and martial-arts expert died at 32, officially due to a harmful reaction to a painkiller. His philosophies around kung fu, however, are eternal.
Legendary artist and activist John Lennon was fatally wounded by a gunshot in December 1980. The last thing he talked about, revealed ex-wife Yoko Ono in an interview, was the desire to see his son before he went to sleep.
Elvis Presley
“I wish he decided to live a life where he paid more attention to the health of his heart.”
Had Presley not died of cardiac arrest, he would be 87 this year.
“I wish he hadn’t been involved in that event that would cause him to face the mafia.”
The cause of Tupac’s untimely death is also one of debate and speculation. According to some, he never died at all. What we can all agree on—he was one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures.
This one seems to be a new addition to the collection, so no wistful message. Although I’m sure the general sentiment is “I wish she were still here.”
AI-generated art is a controversial topic, to be sure. Some consider it a new, innovative medium. Others see it as devoid of any real creativity at all, as it’s produced by a machine, rather than a human. Many are concerned that, as is the case with many jobs that get machine automated, it will threaten the livelihood of actual illustrators.
Those concerns are certainly valid, but perhaps there’s a balance to be found here, as Yesiltas seems to have accomplished. Previously, another artist similarly created stunningly lifelike portraits of cartoon characters from “Encanto” and ”The Simpsons.” These works still required the human touch, and were carefully crafted over time rather than cracked out in mere seconds, as is the case with a lot of AI art.
At its best, AI art helps remind us, as Yesiltas puts it, that “anything imaginable can be shown in reality.” Which, at the end of the day, could be said for any art.
Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton sparked a lot of conversation when their collaborative song “Rainbowland” was banned from an annual spring concert at Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Now, according to WISN, Melissa Tempel, the teacher who suggested including “Rainbowland” in the concert, has had her job terminated after a unanimous vote (9-0) by the School District of Waukesha Board of Education, on Wednesday (July 12). They claim she made three violations.
“Ms. Tempel deliberately brought negative attention to the school district because she disagreed with the decision as opposed to following protocol and procedure and I believe that behavior is intolerable,” said Waukesha School District Superintendent Sebert.
“I thought that the fact that the tweet that I made, that ‘Rainbowland’ wasn’t going to be allowed, was something that the public would be really concerned about and that they would be interested in knowing about it,” Tempel said during the hearing.
Back in March, Cyrus reacted to the ban of the song by donating money to an organization called Pride and Less Prejudice through her Happy Hippie Foundation. “To the inspiring first grade students at Heyer Elementary, keep being YOU. We believe in our Happy Hippie heart that you’ll be the ones to brush the judgment and fear aside and make all of us more understanding and accepting,” they wrote on social media.
The Hip-Hop 50 celebrations continue. The Criterion Channel throws its hat into the ring, announcing that it’ll start streaming a “mixtape” of pivotal hip-hop films in August to highlight the culture’s rich film history and influence on cinema. Included in the collection will be documentaries like Style Wars and Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest, early features such as Wild Style and Krush Groove, and of course, what hip-hop film collection would be complete without Hype Williams’ hood classic feature debut, Belly?
Coming to @criterionchannl August 1HIP-HOP, an 18-film 50th anniversary celebration! This mixtape of the cultural phenomenon’s finest movie moments features a stunning line-up of legendary musical figures with films like STYLE WARS, BELLY, DEEP COVER, POETIC JUSTICE, and more! pic.twitter.com/ofFQDX2xSO
It looks like the collection will be released onto the platform in roughly chronological order, mirroring hip-hop’s growth from a local youth movement with films like Beat Street and Krush Groove coming in August, while September will see entries from the late ’80s and early ’90s when hip-hop began to burst onto the national scene. Those will include Boyz n the Hood, Do the Right Thing, and Poetic Justice. Then, in November, you can watch the triumph of the platinum era, Belly, as well as its sequel Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club (which suggests that maybe Criterion couldn’t secure rights to quite as many of hip-hop’s most important feature films as perhaps it would’ve liked).
For a list of more hip-hop films — specifically documentaries — worth checking out, here’s a list we wrote a few years ago.
Billie Eilish attended the Barbie premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 9, and told Variety that she was “going for more of a Ken thing” with her pink carpet look. Toward the end of a sit-down interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe published today, July 13, Eilish explained exactly what she’s going for with all of her decisions right now.
Lowe joked that Eilish’s oversized ERL sneakers gave a “severe nut allergy vibe.” Eilish cracked up before saying, “Yeah, dude. I’m trolling. I’m trolling these b*tches. Me at the f*cking premiere — ugh, I looked like a giant toddler. But I’m like, I’m trolling, bro. … Please. I tried to take myself seriously with the Happier Than Ever period, and I was like, ‘OK! Did that. Let’s do something else.’”
The preceding 31 minutes of Eilish’s conversation with Lowe also took on a more serious tone, as she unpacked the origin story and inspiration behind her and Finneas’ devastating piano ballad, “What Was I Made For,” for the Barbie soundtrack.
“I find it really hard to write about my exact feelings in my life, and so, ‘What Was I Made For’ would never have ever been written [other than for Barbie], even though every single lyric is exactly how I feel,” Eilish said to open the interview. “Every lyric. Exactly how I feel. You hear me? Look at my mouth. It’s exactly how I feel! It’s about my life.”
Eilish relayed that the opportunity to write “What Was I Made For” came about organically and unexpectedly.
“Through this last winter, [she and Finneas have] both been incredibly uninspired, and we’ve still been working and trying to make stuff, and honestly, that song was the first thing we’d written in a minute,” she said.
In December 2022, Finneas started a group text between him, Eilish, Barbie director Greta Gerwig, and Barbie: The Album executive producer Mark Ronson. By January 16, 2023, Gerwig organized a private Barbie screening for Eilish and Finneas.
“[Gerwig] played us the first 30, 40 minutes of the movie, and I mean, like a minute in, Finneas and I looked at each other like, ‘Whoa. This is insane,’” Eilish said.
The 21-year-old seven-time Grammy winner then compared the impromptu making of “What Was I Made For” to the drawn-out process for their Oscar-winning Bond theme, “No Time To Die”:
“Literally the next day, we were working, and we were writing something. I don’t know. It was kind of a dud of a day. Nothing was really made, and it was late. I was like, ‘Alright, I think I’m gonna go. We’ve done enough. We’re done for the day.’ And Finneas was like, ‘Should we try to write a Barbie song?’ And I literally was like, ‘Dog, no. What? We’re not gonna make – c’mon.’
I thought about ‘No Time To Die,’ that was months of thinking and talking and coming up with different melodies and stuff. That was also one of my favorite processes of all time, but very different. I was like, we can’t recreate that. How are we gonna do that? We truly sat down, and Finneas started playing piano, and those first couple lyrics, ‘I used to float, now I just fall down,’ just came out.”
“What Was I Made For” was released this morning, July 13, and Barbie will enjoy its long-awaited theatrical release on July 21.

Last week, surfer Sarah Brady claimed that actor Jonah Hill, who she dated from 2021 to 2022, was “emotionally abusive” while they were together. She shared a screenshot of a text exchange between herself and a contact saved as “Jonah,” who wrote that if Brady wants to surf “with men,” “model,” and “post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit,” among other demands, that he’s “not the right partner” for her. Brady posted the texts as a “warning to all girls,” she wrote. “If your partner is talking to you like this, make an exit plan.”
Since then, others have spoken out against Hill, including former Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas, who alleged that he kissed her without consent when she was 16 years old and he was 24, and Australian radio broadcaster Fifi Box. Page Six reports that the Fifi, Fev, & Nick host spoke to the actor in 2012 while he was promoting 21 Jump Street in an interview that she described as “scary.”
Box played the resurfaced audio, in which [then co-host Jules Lund] told Hill, “Last time you were out here [in Australia], Jonah, you hooked up with a friend of mine, and you didn’t call her.” The actor, who was doing press with his “21 Jump Street” co-star Channing Tatum at the time, blew up on the spot over the “bullsh*t” question.
“That’s not true. That’s not [the] last time I was out here, first of all,” he began. “You’re talking to two people who have no shame in hiding anything from their past, right? But we don’t know enough about you to dig up all the sh*t from your past, to make fun of you about on live radio… If I knew anything about you and I cared enough, I’d dig up embarrassing sh*t from your past to rip on you about it, but I don’t care, and I don’t know, so I don’t have the luxury.”
Box called Hill’s response “uncomfortable” and “scary.” Lund, who asked the question, previously told news.com.au that he instantly regretted bringing it up. “He tore me a new a**hole. He was just being a f*ckwit,” he said.
Hill has not publicly responded to Brady’s claims.
La La Anthony is one of the most prolific and cross-generational personalities that hip-hop culture has ever witnessed. There’s absolutely no one like her. The Brooklyn, New York-raised talent, born Alani Nicole Vázquez, got her start in radio at just 16 years old and it’s been on ever since. From radio to landing the coveted role as an MTV VJ for Total Request Live to huge acting roles as well as hosting the 2023 Met Gala red carpet for Vogue — and on top of it all, being a mother — there are so many reasons La La is important to the culture and with Hip Hop’s 50th approaching, it’s time to highlight that.
Right before the 2023 BET Awards, at the Amex & BET Watch Party at House of BET, I got a glimpse of La La at work with the lights, camera, and mic on. Oh, and the many eyes staring and all the ears listening (because it has to be quiet on the set, of course) while she did it. It looked like she could do this in her sleep — which should come as no surprise. She’s been thriving for years in an ever-changing media space and in so many ways. It’s to the point where there’s something comforting about knowing that La La’s involved. Whether it’s on Starz’s BMF or a cameo in a Drake music video, there’s a certain standard that comes with her association.
“I started on TRL really young and that was live TV, and you couldn’t mess up,” she told me after she wrapped filming. “So, I think I’ve gotten trained over the years to try to just do it in one take because on live television, you can’t do it again. So, I’m used to it.”
Exactly. There’s a reason La La will always be famous. During our conversation, we discussed her early days on the radio, with Ludacris giving her a shot, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and the music she’s looking forward to the most this year.
How did you get your start at the radio station in Atlanta?
I was an intern. And then from there, I worked really hard, and Ludacris, they gave me a shot at actually being on the radio with him when I was 16 years old. So that’s how everything started, and that’s how my career kind of started. I know, I know. It was young. It was young. Well, I lied and said I was 18 so I could get the job, but I was really 16. It was young, but I was driven. I knew I loved music, I knew I wanted to do something with music, so once the opportunity to intern came up, I knew that was something I wanted to do.
You took that risk?
I did. I took a chance. It was a fun job for me to intern at a radio station as a teenager. You get to hear all the music you love and you get to meet all the artists that you love.
And also, since… He wasn’t Ludacris then, right?
Chris Luva Luva.
Right. So you guys are both at the top of y’all’s game at this point. During that time though, when you both were on the radio, did you two ever discuss what you wanted the future to look like?
Chris always wanted to be a rapper and we knew that. I’ll never forget the day he came in the radio station and he said, “I’m going to leave this job now.” He said, “So you got two options. You’re either going to get in the car with me and we’re going to travel all over the country selling my mixtape or you’re going to have to find another radio job.” And I was like, do I want to be in his Hyundai for however many months just on the road? Or, do I want to pursue my own career? I always supported Chris, but I wanted to find my own lane.
I decided to go with the option of getting on another radio station. That’s when I moved to LA, probably at about 18 or 19 years old, and got on the radio here in LA.
It’s been so dope to see you go from radio to TRL to doing all the TV shows like Power and BMF and reality shows to hosting the Met Gala red carpet. What would you say is your most memorable interview moment?
The internship that we talked about started because I remember Method Man and the Wu-Tang Clan, they were opening up a clothing store in Atlanta and I wanted to meet Method Man. I wanted to meet the Wu-Tang Clan. I was such a fan growing up. So, it wasn’t an interview, but it was the moment where kind of my career started when I went to the clothing store that they were opening. I got the internship because the radio station was there.
I always think about Wu-Tang as what kind of started me in this career and everything, and then years later, I was also a part of the Wu-Tang series. So it all came full circle, to be acting in the Wu-Tang series and knowing that my career started following Wu-Tang at the clothing store that day. I feel like hip-hop is the soundtrack to my life and my career and my path, so I have so much love for it. It started my career in music. It’s been great to see a little bit of everything.
Do you remember the first rap you ever memorized?
Yes. “Anything” by Nas I memorized, and I still to this day know by heart.
Which album drops were you the most excited for this year?
I loved Drake and 21‘s album. Thug’s album was great. There’s been some great music this year for sure.
Do you have any projects that you’re looking forward to?
Well, if Drake does, then I’ll look forward to that, of course. Nicki Minaj said she was releasing, so definitely Nicki for sure. I mean, I just take them as they come, and then I get right into them. I know there’s some great concerts happening. Definitely, Beyoncé’s concert, so that’s going to be great. I know Drake is going on tour with 21, so I’m going to definitely go to that. It’s a great time for music.
Speaking of Beyoncé, I do have a question about a specific picture though, because I know one year at the Met Gala you, Beyoncé and Nicki took a photo. Tell me about that moment.
It’s always great energy with all of us. I think that Nicki, we were sitting next to each other at the Met, and then Bey was walking around and came over to say, ‘Hi,’ and then we just snapped a picture together. The Met is so fun. You never know who you’re going to see or who you’re going to run into. That was a couple years ago. It was a fun night.
It’s like a dinner and then a performance — but it’s really fun. You get to see people that you love, people that you’re fans of and you get to see friends. It’s like a gathering of just great energy and people you don’t see all the time. So, it’s really a fun night and it’s in New York, which makes me happy because a lot of events are in LA, and I’m from New York and I live in New York, so it’s nice to have events like the Met be in New York.
What’s next for you or something we should look out for?
I just had a movie drop, The Perfect Find on Netflix with myself, Gabrielle Union, and Keith Powers. I just finished filming season three of BMF, which will drop in January, so people seem to be excited for another season of BMF.
