It’s interesting to see this question pop back up again, months after the rumor was originally and thoroughly debunked. Let’s set the record straight: No, Issa Rae did not turn down Drake.
I had hoped against hope that Jay Ellis would still find a way to pop up somewhere in the midst of Insecure’s upcoming third season, but alas. Issa Rae confirmed this weekend that Lawrence is out this time around because “You never see the exes again,” which, I mean, I keep my exes around most of the time, and they…
The trailer for Season 3 of Insecure features Daniel’s fine ass but nary a trace of Lawrence, his sweaters, or his very attractive face and body.
Breakout star of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Kelly Marie Tran, has reportedly deleted every image from her Instagram account “after facing months of harassment from angry fans” of the franchise.

This is a sobering Dirt Bag because there isn’t much gossip (I went online after a 24-hour hiatus and everything is about Tom Petty, even the news that’s not really about Tom Petty, RIP), and because, well, stars are just like us: they too occasionally do an appropriate thing when faced with heart-melting levels of…
An Us Weekly item, which refers to Rob Kardashian as “The Arthur George sock designer,” confirmed on Wednesday that Rob filed a lawsuit against his former fiancée Blac Chyna, alleging assault, battery, and vandalism.
Issa Rae is on a roll, obviously. Two days after the second season of her critically-acclaimed HBO show Insecure wrapped, the actress and showrunner announced she had landed a CoverGirl partnership, which includes an ad campaign.
Couples in real life don’t often get a shot at a relationship post-mortem.

In the beginning of Insecure’s Season 2 premiere last night, Molly sits across from her therapist and says with assurance, “I feel like I’m exactly where I should be in my career.” Because as disgruntled as Molly has been in the dating department, work is supposed to be a reliable, fulfilling escape for her, away from…

The movie idea starring Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o—a pitch that appears to have originated on Tumblr and migrated to Twitter, where it transformed into a fully formed film—is now miraculously being made into a real movie. Hello, I’m your captain and this is 2017.
I leave you with this very sweet Instagram video of Jay Ellis—who also plays a nice guy, Lawrence, on Issa Rae’s HBO series Insecure—going on and on about how much he loves Michaela Coel, the creator and star of Neflix’s Chewing Gum. But, like, really loves her.
