VMAs: Missy Elliott Delivers a Deeply Heartfelt Vanguard Acceptance Speech About Her Legacy
The MTV Video Music Awards belonged to Missy Elliott on Monday night - everything and everyone else was just background noise.
The legendary rapper and hip-hop star hit the stage about halfway through the award show in Newark, NJ, to perform a truly epic set before accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. After dancing and belting out hits like "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," "Throw It Back," "Get Ur Freak On," and "Work It," she was introduced by Cardi B and delivered a heartfelt, teary-eyed speech touching on her legacy in the music industry.
"I promised I wouldn't cry because I cry every award [show], but the Video Vanguard Award means so much to me," she said. "I have worked diligently for over two decades. I never thought I'd be standing up here . . . it don't go unnoticed, the support and love you've shown me over the years."
She went on to thank God, her mother, Aaliyah, Timbaland, Busta Rhymes, Janet Jackson, Peter Gabriel, Madonna, MTV, and more. She also made sure to shout out all the dancers who have helped her music videos reach icon status over the years.
"Lastly, I want to dedicate this award to the dance communities all around the world. When y'all get on the stage with these artists, y'all are not just props," she told the dancers around her, ushering them to the front of the stage. "Y'all are the icing on the cake, y'all are the beat to the heart. I dedicate this to every dance community out there."

Fans of The Wire Will Love Netflix and Drake's Revival of Gritty British TV Drama, Top Boy
"The olders are washed, the youngers fear nothing. And everyone wants to be a Top Boy."
That's the basic premise behind Netflix's new series Top Boy, which follows rival gangs fighting for control of East London streets. The series originally aired on Channel 4 in the UK from 2011 to 2013. Drake purchased the rights to the British TV drama in 2017 and serves as the series' executive producer (which is actually his second series, after the HBO drama Euphoria) alongside the show's original creative team: Charles Steel and Alasdair Flind for Cowboy Films, Ronan Bennett (who also wrote the series) for Easter Partisan, and Yann Demange.
The show's ten-episode revival on Netflix will pick up where the drama left off, with Dushane (Ashley Walters) returning from exile to his home in London to reclaim his throne in the highly lucrative drug market. He teams up with Sully (Kane Robinson), his "spiritual brother, partner, and sometime rival" who is also returning to the same streets after being in prison. Their plans put them at odds with Jamie (Micheal Ward), the young, hungry and ruthless gang leader whose ambitions leave no place for Dushane and Sully. The first look revealed surprise appearances from British rappers Little Simz (real name Simbi Ajikawo) and Dave (David Omoregie) in undisclosed roles.
"We couldn't be more excited for Netflix members around the world and a new generation of fans to discover the authentic, raw and real world of Top Boy," said Netflix's vice president of original content, Cindy Holland. "Drake came to us several months ago with a passion to help bring this series back to life, and we're thrilled to support the original creative team to do just that."
Watch the new trailer for Top Boy above and get ready to head back to East London when the series begins streaming on Sept. 13.

Against All Odds, Timothée Chalamet Manages to Make Bowl Cuts Sexy in The King Trailer
When I was about 6 years old, my mom bought an "As Seen on TV" contraption called a Flowbee and used it to chop my hair into a floppy blonde bowl cut. It was heinous. Fortunately, it seems Netflix provided enough funds for their upcoming medieval drama, The King, to miraculously make star Timothée Chalamet's bowl cut . . . dare I say . . . hot? (I'm sorry it's true.)
In the first trailer for the film above, the Little Women actor plays Hal, a rebellious prince who's turned his back on royalty despite being heir to the English throne. But his low-key lifestyle is shattered when his tyrannical father dies, leaving Hal crowned King Henry V. As he navigates the perilous ups and downs of politics within his kingdom, as well as the debt of war his father left behind, Hal is forced to evolve into someone he swore he'd never be.
In addition to Chalamet and his bowl cut, The King also stars Lily-Rose Depp, Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, and Joel Edgerton. Keep an eye out for the movie when it begins streaming on Netflix this Fall.

We'd Watch Missy Elliott's VMAs Vanguard Performance on Replay Forever - It's *That* Good
In case you've forgotten that Missy Elliott is unf*ckwithable, please look toward her mind-boggling MTV Video Vanguard performance at the 2019 VMAs and get with the program! The 48-year-old took the MTV stage to perform for the first time since 2003, and it was pretty much everything a fan could ever dream of: an electrifying medley of her greatest hits (of which there are many) including "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)," "Throw It Back," "Get Ur Freak On," "Work It," "Pass That Dutch," and "Lose Control."
Just like her iconic music videos, Elliott's performance gave us nostalgic dances, epic hairstyles, and elaborate sets that included cornfield imagery, a rainstorm, the surface of a fiery planet, a UFO, and more. To quote Cardi B, the performance was "FIRE!" (And possibly the best moment of the night.) MTV could have ended the show right then and we all would have gone to bed satisfied.

Alyson Stoner's Missy Elliott Dance Video Is Still 1 of the Best Tributes Ever
Back in the early 2000s, Alyson Stoner was a mainstay in Missy Elliott's music videos, including "Work It" and "Gossip Folks" - and though the little girl we all wanted to be is now an adult, she hasn't forgotten about the artist who gave her her big break. Alyson, now 26, recently reunited with Missy at the MTV VMAs as part of her Video Vanguard Award medley. She wowed the crowd with her breakdancing and backflips, proving that she'll be working it forever.
In 2015, Alyson also paid homage to her former collaborator with an awesome dance routine done to a medley of Missy's hits, which she posted to her YouTube channel. The dancer and actress enlisted the help of Monica Parales, who also danced in the "Gossip Folks" video. Alyson gave an exclusive interview to Buzzfeed at the time, saying, "When Missy comes on the radio or in public, I immediately pause, feel so sentimental, and start replaying memories in my head." Missy herself reached out to Alyson via Twitter after watching the tribute, writing, "Very sweet of you." Relive the impressive video above now.

22 Shirtless Cole Sprouse Pictures That Prove He's Just a Big Daddy
There's a reason Cole Sprouse was voted most daddy by Riverdale fans - he's incredibly good-looking. While we love his angsty hotness, he looks especially hot when he's shirtless. Not only has he shed his flannel button-down on the show from time to time, but the 27-year-old actor has also posed for countless steamy photos on social media, and we can't get enough. Seriously, consider this our official petition to have more shirtless Jughead scenes.

Sisters' Night Out: Gigi and Bella Hadid Stun Together at the VMAs
Gigi and Bella Hadid had us doing double takes when they arrived at the MTV VMAs. The gorgeous sisters took on the red carpet together in coordinating outfits; Bella opted for a sexy two-piece with suspenders that showed off her toned abs, while Gigi wore a strapless top and shiny pants in a similar pale-pink color palette. This is my official memo to step up my game the next time my little sister and I decide to match for a special occasion.
Gigi will reportedly attend the VMAs afterparty with The Bachelorette's Tyler Cameron, whom she's been spotted with a few times recently. Ahead, see all the head-turning photos from Gigi and Bella's night out in New Jersey.
Halsey Wore a Rainbow Part at the VMAs, Proving She's Never One to Be Outdone
Halsey arrived at the VMAs red carpet with a hair color we didn't see coming. The singer's long black hair was styled by Florido for Dove Hair, and featured a rainbow part that started with purple toward her face and faded to red at the back of her head. While Halsey has tried out many hair colors in the past and has even dyed her bangs into a rainbow, we've never see her with colorful roots before.
She paired her hair look with clear lip gloss and bold blush that was applied up to her temples. Check out Halsey's incredible rainbow roots, ahead.

Venom 2: Ready For Eddie Brock vs. Carnage? Woody Harrelson's Villain Confirmed to Return
If you haven't been able to get the outrageous fight scenes from Venom out of your head since it premiered in 2018, then strap in dear movie-lovers: Venom 2 is on the way! While the sequel was teased as far back as December 2018 (a few months after its release), Sony gave official studio confirmation that a sequel is in the works in January 2019. They revealed that a few stars will be returning to reprise their roles, including Tom Hardy, who has actually signed on for two more Venom films.
Specific details on the film's premise is pretty slim - it's still in early development after all - but there is enough to get fans more than excited about what's to come (especially in regards to the villain). Ahead, check out all the information we've round up on the upcoming film, and stay tuned for more as production moves forward.

It's True, We're Simply in Awe of Missy Elliott's Career, Including Her Impressive Net Worth
Superstar musician and rapper Missy Elliott is receiving the Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs, and looking at her career and net worth of $50 million, it's easy to see why. This June, Missy became the first female rapper ever to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, according to Billboard, and her net worth has continued to climb. According to Harper's Bazaar, her estimated net worth is around $50 million!
For the most part, Missy's huge net worth comes from her music career, with a history of incredibly successful albums. A 2015 Billboard article proclaimed her the bestselling female rap album artist in Nielsen Music history, with over 7.6 million albums sold in the US. Her most successful at that time was 2002's Under Construction, which crossed the two million sales mark. On top of that, Missy has just gotten back into the new music game this August with her first new release since 2005. Her five-track EP, Iconology, is poised to make waves once again.
Missy's net worth doesn't just come from her own record sales, though. Over the course of her career, Missy has made a habit of working with some of the best, buzziest, and most creative names in music. Harper's Bazaar notes that she's written music for Aaliyah, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, and *NSYNC, among others, and she's served as a producer for Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, and Monica. More recently, she's worked with Lizzo and Ariana Grande, keeping her musical talents in the public eye, even if she's not up on stage singing herself. She even founded her own label, The Goldmind.
Although she doesn't perform as much anymore, Missy's headline performances over the years have also contributed plenty to her bank account. She appeared on the Super Bowl halftime show in 2015 alongside Katy Perry, and the effect was instant: Forbes reported a 2,500 percent sales bump for Missy post-Super Bowl - and no, that's not a typo. She's toured over the years alongside Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Beyoncé, and Alicia Keys. All of this just goes to show that no matter the era, Missy is a timeless legend, and luckily, she's been able to amass a fortune that reflects her game-changing talents.
Normani Delivers a Generous Serving of Her Washboard Abs in This Crystal-Covered Dress
Never underestimate the power of Normani and her kickass wardrobe. The 23-year-old singer showed up to the MTV VMAs on Monday night, and absolutely shut down the red carpet in a skin-baring Swarovski crystal-covered Nicolas Jebran dress with a high-slit. If that wasn't enough, she tied the whole look together with silver hoops and studded matte red sandals. Phew, what. an. outfit.
Like her viral "Motivation" music video, it feels like Normani packs in a whole bunch of late '90s/early '00s nostalgia into this ensemble (the exposed midriff, sparkling crystals) while still making it completely her own. If this is what she chose to rock on the red carpet, we can't wait to see what she wears during her performance later in the show.

Lil Nas X Owned the VMAs Red Carpet in a Sequined Suit and Silver Cowboy Boots
First-time MTV VMAs attendee Lil Nas X arrived on the red carpet in an instantly iconic look. The "Old Town Road" singer wore a silver sequined suit with metallic cowboy boots and an epic "Lil Nas X" manicure that he made sure to show off.
Photographers captured the 20-year-old striking poses like a seasoned pro on the star-studded carpet, which also included Lizzo and Taylor Swift. Lil Nas X is nominated for multiple VMA awards, including song of the year and best new artist, thanks to his blockbuster hit featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. He's also performing "Panini" live during the show on Monday night. Check out photos and videos from his big night ahead.
Jonathan Van Ness Strutted the MTV VMAs Red Carpet in Lightning Red Heels and a Lacy Cape
Can you handle the CON-FI-DONCE? Jonathan Van Ness was a vision in black at the MTV VMAs red carpet on Aug. 26, and his lacy organza cape is giving me major Maleficent vibes. The 32-year-old Queer Eye star was ready for a night out in a figure-hugging black romper and a matching floor-length cape reminiscent of dragon scales - Khaleesi is shaking. Jonathan paired the Atelier by FANG cape, with a pair of Prada lightning bolt satin pumps, and I have a feeling Tan France would definitely approve. Keep reading for a closer look at Jonathan's beguiling red carpet outfit.

Fall's Biggest Nail Art Trends Look Fancy - but Are Actually So Easy to Do
OK, so maybe on a scale from Frida Kahlo to ventriloquist dummy holding a drawing pencil, your DIY nail painting skills rank at a reasonable three. No matter! Fall's coolest nail art trends may look like a lot of work, but they're actually super easy to do.
"We're shifting toward organic, sexy manicure shapes in rich, vibrant colors like a denim-gray, champagne holographic gold, and stunning bricks or terracottas," said Eleanor Langston, chief creative officer of New York City salon Paintbox. Think: the dark, moody polishes you've come to love for the season, all adorned with a simple stud, metallic brushstrokes, or wavy designs.
Don't just take our word for it. Keep reading for Langston's full breakdown of Fall's biggest nail art trends to try this year (plus, exactly how to get 'em) - prerequisite painting experience, be damned.
No, That's Not Joe Alwyn Speaking on Taylor Swift's "London Boy" - It's Idris Elba!
One of the more surprising discoveries to come out about Taylor Swift's newly released seventh album, Lover? Idris Elba is on a track! To kick off "London Boy," Swift sourced a clip of Elba describing a typical date for him in a 2017 interview on The Late Late Show With James Corden. In it, he says, "We can go driving on my scooter, you know? Just around London."
Some listeners initially thought it might've been Swift's boyfriend Joe Alwyn speaking in the clip, but that might've just been a bit of wishful thinking, as it's worth noting that he sounds nothing like Elba. That being said, we think it's safe to assume that Alwyn is the "London Boy" she's singing about in the sweet song.
To see Elba actually singing with Swift, you won't have to wait long: the two are starring in the Cats screen adaptation out on Christmas. (Although you might want to be careful what you wish for.) Listen to "London Boy" ahead, then check out the original late-night clip used in the track.

Keke Palmer's VMA Look Can Be Best Described As "Call Me Maybe"
The moment Keke Palmer hit the 2019 MTV VMAs red carpet in a glittering yellow gown by Yousef Aljasmi and golden cell phone, I immediately thought to myself, what a cute "Call Me Maybe" moment. Upon second glance, my inner songwriter immediately started re-writing Drake's hit tune, "Hotline Bling". If you would indulge me:
You used to call me on my cell phone . . . when you hit the VMAs. You used to call me on my cell phone, slaying the fashion game. And I know with red carpet bling, it can only mean one thing. Better than a diamond ring, is Keke's dazzling cell phone thing.
Right?! OK, maybe I'll stick to writing fashion stories and admiring dazzling red carpet looks like Keke's showstopping yellow number and glittering cell phone, which you can witness from every angle ahead. But HMU if you're looking for a catchy jingle writer! Heck, maybe Keke will interview me on the topic for Good Morning America - the actress-singer-rapper just announced her new co-host gig on the morning talk show. OK, fine. Filing that under pipe dream. But a girl can dream.
