WILL SMITH helped NEW ORLEANS celebrate JULY 4TH

Will Smith celebrated Independence Day by helping New Orleans celebrate. Smith picked up the roughly $100,000 tab for a fireworks display over the Mississippi River after learning New Orleans didn’t plan a 2021 show, city officials told news outlets. The actor is in New Orleans filming his latest film “Emancipation.” Smith moved the production from Georgia earlier this year in protest over the state passing new voting law restrictions.

Iggy Azalea defended herself after social media exploded with claims that she was “blackfishing” in the music video for her new song ‘I Am The Stripclub’. The rapper appears in the video wearing a dark wig and she is overly bronze. Blackfishing means to alter one’s looks in a way that makes them appear Black or of mixed race. Azalea called the claims “ridiculous and baseless.” She tweeted, “I’m wearing a shade 6 in Armani foundation, it’s the same shade I’ve worn for the last 3 years. It’s the same shade in every music video since ‘Sally Walker’. Suddenly I wear a black wig in a club scene & it’s an issue.”

Heidi Klum opened up about her marriage to her ex-husband Seal in an interview with The Sunday Times. The supermodel revealed that the couple renewed their vows annually. “I think I got married eight times to Seal,” she said. “I thought it would be kind of, like, fun. I thought it would be a fest of love,” Klum added. “But you know, that doesn’t work either. I tried, you can’t say I didn’t try!” The couple were first married in May 2005 and separated in 2012 with their divorce finalized in October 2014.
