Beyoncé’s red carpet fashion choices often reflect her strong and empowered persona. This was evident during the world premiere of the animated musical drama movie, Mufasa: The Lion King, where she wore a gold gown from Balmain’s limited-edition The Lion King collection and pumps by Jimmy Choo.
Beyoncé returns to her role as Nala from the 2019 Lion King remake in the 2024 musical drama film, while her 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy makes her voice acting debut as Kiara.

50 Cent has made his dislike of Sean “Diddy” Combs clear for years. In the months since his arrest, he has frequently spoken about Combs and why he chose not to attend his parties. As Combs prepares for his trial, 50 Cent predicts that he has no chance of recovering his public image, even if the trial goes his way.
50 Cent thinks Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ career is over no matter how his trial goes
While discussing recent rape allegations against Jay-Z, 50 Cent said he believes the rapper and executive’s career will not fully recover. A plaintiff alleged that Jay-Z and Combs raped her when she was 13 years old.
“It isn’t what you did. It’s what they said you did,” he said, per Us Weekly. “The damage is already done by the allegation itself.”

The victory Sean “Diddy” Combs scored today over federal prosecutors in gaining access to a laptop while behind bars in Brooklyn surely has to seem a Pyrrhic win after a trio of new rape and sexual assault lawsuits were filed this morning against the one-time music mogul.
In tales chillingly similar in scope and action, three John Does have separately sued Combs in New York State court alleging he plied them with booze and drugged them in hotel rooms or his Hamptons residence so he could attack them. In at least one case, the assault was supposedly filmed. Detailing the rapes taking place between 2019 and 2022, the civil actions, with the trio all individually represented by attorney Thomas Giuffra, are seeking a wide range of damages and jury trials.
Perhaps most revealing is how the specifics in these three cases are similar to literally dozens of others accusations and suits against Combs,...

When they say parenting is everything, they really mean it. Beyonce and Jay-Z are being attacked for their parenting. The celebrity power couple took out their daughter Blue Ivy to a Disney movie premiere on Monday night.
Celeb News – Beyonce And Jay-Z Attacked For Their Parenting
But it’s not the fact that the 12-year-old was out past her bedtime on a school night, but it’s because of what she wore on the red carpet.
Social media had to remind Beyonce and Jay-Z that their daughter is still a pre-tween yet she was dressed like she was much older. If that weren’t enough, she also had a corset on. And of course, a lot of fans can’t help but wonder: what gives?
To complicate matters even more, critics are giving Beyonce and Jay-Z the side eye because the timing of this family outing couldn’t be worse.

The truth has a funny way of creeping out of the shadows, doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s like trying to hide a cactus under a blanket—it’s just not happening. And right now, Jay-Z is feeling the poke.
The rapper-turned-business mogul, who’s built an empire with his sharp mind and even sharper lyrics, is back in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. A civil lawsuit has surfaced, claiming that, along with fellow music mogul Diddy, Jay-Z drugged and assaulted a 13-year-old girl at a party in 2000.

As any deep pocket client of Alex Spiro will tell you, the high-profile trial attorney often executes a maximum impact strategy of very targeted attacks on the case against said client, as well as the planting of legal landmines to blow up the other side down the line.
That combination is exactly what the Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan partner just did for Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) today in the Jane Doe underage rape case against the ‘Empire State of Mind’ singer and the currently imprisoned Sean “Diddy” Combs. Now, with big blowback from a lawyer representing potential victims of Combs and others, Spiro may have overplayed his hand or gotten precisely the reaction he wanted.

The Mufasa: The Lion King premiere came at a shaky time for the Carter-Knowles family. Jay-Z is facing allegations unlike any he’s experienced in his 30-year entertainment career. At a time when the rapper likely wanted to show support for his wife and oldest daughter, Blue Ivy, he had to grin and bear it on the Mufasa red carpet. Post-premiere, Beyoncé shared a supportive message to Blue on Instagram. Is she trying to bolster her daughter’s confidence as they weather the pending lawsuit?

Lin-Manuel Miranda, who received an Oscar nomination for “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana, opened up about why he didn’t return for its record-breaking sequel, Moana 2.
The award-winning artist sat down with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the release of Mufasa: The Lion King and explained that it wasn’t a choice between working on the Lion King prequel and Moana 2.
“It didn’t line up that way actually,” he said. “I got the script for Mufasa when I had just finished Encanto, and so I started working on that at the top of ’22. So, Moana 2 was already in process as a TV series with Emily [Bear] and Abigail [Barlow]. So then, when that decision got made to turn that into a movie, they were already cooking.”

The cast of the new movie Mufasa: The Lion King stepped out for the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles!
Aaron Pierre and Tiffany Boone were among the stars who joined icon Beyonce and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter on the red carpet on Monday night (December 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
The new film calls on Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Mufasa: The Lion King, the prequel to 2019’s remake of The Lion King, is about to arrive — and star Billy Eichner is already thinking about the next film in the franchise.
Eichner returns to Mufasa as the voice of meerkat Timon, alongside Seth Rogen as lovable warthog Pumbaa, as they bring the comic relief to the Pride Lands. At the Los Angeles premiere on Monday, Eichner told The Hollywood Reporter that “maybe 90 percent” of the duo’s lines in the prequel are improvised, as they record in the booth together.
“They’re an unlikely duo and they’re the ultimate outsiders,” he continued of the characters, joking, “They’re always desperate to be in the center of the story which they never are — unless Disney makes a Timon and Pumbaa prequel, which we’re very excited about. That hasn’t been announced, we’re just putting it out there.”

Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” begins with the voice of James Earl Jones, followed by a title card that reads, “In Remembrance.”
Jones, who died in September at 93 years old, originated the voice of King Mufasa in the 1994 Oscar-winning animated feature “The Lion King,” its direct-to-video sequels and the 2019 live-action remake. Jones did not return for the prequel, which opens in theaters on Dec. 20.
Barry Jenkins, who helmed “Mufasa,” tells Variety why he decided to open the movie with a tribute to the late actor. “When I think about what James Earl Jones means, not even just to me, but to global audiences — people know this — I grew up without a father figure, and you go in and you watch this art, you watch these films, sometimes these fathers in these movies become a stand-in for that,” he says. “They become these father figures.”

Beyoncé and Jay-Z made a very rare red carpet appearance on Monday night at the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King, posing for photos with daughter Blue Ivy Carter and Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles.
The 12-year-old plays a major part in the film, voicing lion Kiara, the daughter of Simba (voiced by Donald Glover) and Nala (Beyoncé) — who reprise the roles they played in 2019’s live-action The Lion King.
Blue Ivy and Beyoncé both appeared in gold dresses at the Hollywood Boulevard event, with the young star first taking solo shots before she was joined by her parents. Beyoncé famously avoids most red carpets, often doing her own photoshoots at events like the Grammys or at the premiere of her concert film Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. None of the three family members were previously announced to press as attending the event, despite their involvement.

Mufasa: The Lion King is a prequel to Disney’s live-action The Lion King. The movie will explore Mufasa’s early years, though the full plot is still under wraps. It’s expected to dive deeper into the tense relationship between Mufasa and Scar. Timon and Pumbaa will also return, with Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen reprising their roles.
Director Barry Jenkins recently shared that he’s not keen on returning to the CGI technology used for the film.
“When I took this job, the idea was ‘What does Barry Jenkins know about visual effects? Why the hell would he do this movie? Why would he be making The Lion King?”
“I think part of that I found very invigorating. People make these things, you know, with computers. So anybody should be able to do this. Anybody, right? There’s nothing physically that says I am incapable of doing this.

As winter officially settles into our bones, Disney is ready to transport audiences to the Pride Lands of Africa for the studio’s highly-anticipated prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King. The live-action animated adventure is eager to pounce on the holiday box office after several successes with Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, and Moana 2, securing Disney’s spot as a top earner in theaters throughout the year. It’s been a rough crawl back to form for film studios and theater chains after the double threat of the pandemic and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Thankfully, smoke from the fallout is clearing, and people are excited to make cinemas a part of their extrovert activities. Today, Disney debuted four new Mufasa: The Lion King posters, featuring beloved characters from the film striking a pose in picturesque settings.

Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King has its work cut out for it.
As it stands now, Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is tracking to open to $55 million over the Dec. 20-22 weekend, compared to $50 million for Mufasa: The Lion King, according to sources with access to data from leading research firm National Research Group.
It would be an upset if Sonic succeeded in beating Mufasa, considering that the summer 2019 remake The Lion King opened to a stunning $191.8 million domestically on its way to earning $1.7 billion globally. Like that film, Mufasa is a live-action movie relying heavily on photorealistic imagery.
Many doubted whether the 2019 film, directed by Jon Favreau, would work, similar to the conversation now swirling about Mufasa.
Disney has held off making its major marketing push until after Thanksgiving, and is counting on tracking to steadily increase in the coming days. The final push includes playing a...
