Teyana Taylor’s labor, and then postpartum, experience has been amazing. First she delivers her firstborn child into the hands of her fiance, NBA player Iman Shumpert, in their bathroom. And then she posts a photo on Instagram six days later, showing off her flat tummy. “Dear Baby Iman…. Thank you for this snap back in…

Tasha Smith is probably going to have herself a merry little Christmas. No divorce is easy, regardless of the process, but the actress is probably very happy that a judge recently annulled her marriage on the grounds that her husband is a fraud, TMZ reports. Rory Douglas reportedly had been married five times before marrying…

I’ve long admired Russell Simmons for the way he’s been screaming from the mountaintops for years about how everyone ought to be meditating on a daily basis.

Steve Harvey’s wife, Marjorie, is standing by her man in his time of need. Everybody’s been coming for Harvey’s neck ever since he announced the wrong winner at the 2015 Miss Universe pageant ceremony. She got on Instagram and sang her man’s praises, arguing that her husband is a “stand-up man” and a “true class…

Jerry Seinfeld scored the guest of a lifetime by getting President Barack Obama to appear in his Web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The premise of the show—which airs on Crackle—is a cool one: Comedians ride around in a vintage car with Seinfeld, talking about any and everything under the sun, and then they…
