Megan Thee Stallion Talks Launching New Fashion Nova Clothing Line With ‘Better Representation’ of the ‘Real Body’

New music, a Fashion Nova clothing line and a college degree — Megan Thee Stallion is doing it all.

Earlier this week, the 25-year-old artist teased her debut album, Good News, which drops Friday. However, fans have something to look forward to even sooner with her Fashion Nova collection launching on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the “WAP” rapper said she wanted to make sure her fashion line was representative of all body types.

“I just realized how big of a lack of representation there is for curvier girls, or taller girls, or girls with bigger feet,” Megan explained. “Everybody is not just a cookie cutter size, so I just want to make sure that starting with this collab we have better representation with just women in general. Even with short girls, the jeans are made for skinny short girls. It’s not just about the model body. It’s about the real body, so this collection definitely caters to women with curves. I say petite, too, but just the girls with the little representation that’s what my collection really caters to.”

After years of struggling to find the perfect pair of jeans, the singer said she is particularly looking forward to fans getting their hands on the new denim she came up with for the brand.

“I’m so excited for my fashion line to launch because we’re finally getting jeans for the long-leg girls, like fashion jeans have always hugged my booty real good, real tight fit, great, great stretch, but they always look like capris,” Megan said.

“So I was like, Fashion Nova, I don’t know what you’re gonna do, but baby we need jeans for girls that are 5’8″ plus,” the artist (who is 5’10”) added. “Everybody not bite-sized so I’m super excited about that. The tall girls are finally getting representation, but it’s not just about tall girls. I have petite, slim, curvy, whatever we are we have the jeans for you.”

Lil Wayne Charged With Firearm Possession; Faces Up to 10 Years in Prison

Lil Wayne might be getting some major jail time.

The 38-year-old rapper was hit by The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida with one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, TMZ reported Tuesday (November 17).

He was convicted of a felony gun charge in New York back in 2009, and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The charge came from a December 2019 incident where federal agents searched his plane at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, where he was a passenger on that plane, which made a stop in Florida on its way to California.

His attorney Howard Srebnick said at the time that his client was “cleared” to leave even though guns and drugs were reportedly found on the plane. Feds now seemingly believe Wayne was wrongfully in possession of a weapon and ammunition.

He was charged for possessing a gold-plated handgun in his luggage back in December.

He is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Michael B. Jordan Is People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2020: ‘The Women in My Family Are Proud of This One’

People just revealed who the Sexiest Man Alive is for 2020 – it’s Michael B. Jordan!

The 33-year-old actor was announced as this year’s title holder during Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (November 17) in Los Angeles.

“It’s a cool feeling,” Michael told the mag about the honor. “You know, everybody always made that joke, like, ‘Mike, this is the one thing you’re probably not going to get.’ But it’s a good club to be a part of.”

He added that the women in his family “are definitely proud of this” title.

“When my grandmother was alive, it was something that she collected, and then my mom naturally reads it a lot and my aunts as well. This is one that they’re definitely going to have a special place for,” Michael added.

Michael takes over the title from John Legend, who had his own ideas of who should be named.

The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ Ties Post Malone’s Chart Record

The two artists’ hit song “Mood” is number one for a fourth week on the Hot 100 and for the first time, it’s also the most-streamed song of the week. That’s partly due to the release of a remix of the song featuring Justin Bieber and J Balvin.

In addition to the Hot 100 and the Streaming Songs chart, “Mood” is also number-one on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, as well as the Radio Songs chart.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s smash “Blinding Lights” is number five on the Hot 100; it’s the 39th week the song has spent in that chart’s top 10. That means it now ties the record Post Malone’s “Circles” set earlier this year for most weeks ever spent in the top 10 of that chart in history.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Can’t Fit In To The Porsche Taycan

Dwayne Johnson had a tight squeeze during the filming of his upcoming action movie “Red Notice” in the Atlanta area.

The former defensive lineman and professional wrestler revealed in an Instagram post that he discovered at the last moment that the Porsche Taycan electric midsize sport sedan that was set to be used for a key sequence in the film couldn’t quite accommodate his 6-foot-5, 260-pound frame.

“Aaaaand guess who’s too big to fit in yet another sports car and now we have to change the entire shot sequence around,” Johnson wrote.

Johnson has had this happen plenty of times before, his bulk foiling both the Ferrari LaFerrari and GTA Spano exotic sports cars during the making of his HBO show “Ballers.”

Fortunately, “Red Notice” is an action-comedy, which allowed Johnson and Thurber to find a “creative” way to get the shot with the Porsche.

The film, which also stars Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, is scheduled to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2021.

Petition Calls for LeVar Burton to Be the Next Host of JEOPARDY!

Alex Trebek became synonymous with Jeopardy! over the years of his three-decade run as host of the classic game show. Due to his recent passing, a new host will eventually have to step into the role as host, and there is a petition created by Joshua Sanders that recommends LeVar Burton for the position. Burton is beloved thanks to his 21 years of hosting the PBS classic Reading Rainbow, as well as his work in the Star Trek franchise, Roots, and contributions to shows like The Big Bang Theory, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, and more. The petition states:

“Between hosting 21 seasons of the educational Reading Rainbow, playing the brainiac engineer Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: the Next Generation, and filling the roll of Kunta Kinte in the ever important mini-series Roots, LeVar Burton has inspired and shaped the minds of several generations of trivia-loving nerds. This petition is to show Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. and producer Harry Friedman just how much love the public has for Burton, and how much we’d all love to see him as the next host of Jeopardy!”

You can see why many are rallying around Burton as the new host, though it’s unclear when Jeopardy! plans to announce a new host or resume filming.
