Kirk & Rasheeda Spill the Tea on the New Season of LHHATL
Source: Mike Coppola / Getty The longest-running series in the Love & Hip Hop franchise isn't slowing down anytime soon. MTV's Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is back for its record-breaking 13th season on Tuesday, July 8 at 8PM ET/PT—and it's promising more raw emotion, fiery diss tracks, viral drama, and shocking relationship reveals than ever before. At the heart of it all? The show's undeniable 'royal couple,' Rasheeda and Kirk Frost, who have weathered more storms than most couples would dare to face on-camera—or off. From cheating scandals and viral backlash to court battles and blended family dynamics, Rasheeda and Kirk are back to tell their side—and reclaim their narrative. 'Let's just put it out there since y'all want to keep talking about it,' Rasheeda says with a smirk, addressing those who've criticized her decision to stand by Kirk. 'We got a lot going on this season… friendships that ain't quite making it through, rocky relationships looking real sus. But you know what? That's the Love & Hip Hop rollercoaster ride.' An Olive Branch to Jasmine, or a Setup for Chaos? Season 13 doesn't just pick up where the drama left off—it turns it all the way up. Rasheeda and Kirk are now co-parenting peacefully with Jasmine, the mother of Kirk's son Kannon—a relationship that once tore their marriage apart. 'As of right now, things are going in a good co-parenting direction,' Rasheeda says. 'You never can say what could happen or what type of situation can lead to some bulls**t. But for right now, we are all on the page of understanding that the important thing is Kannon.' Kirk adds, 'The money situation is finally out the way. I'm glad to be at a point where hopefully the court stuff is done, and Carter gets to kick it with his brother. That takes all the BS out of the way.' This tentative peace has fans wondering: is this truly a step forward… or a setup for a new round of chaos? 'You Got 11 Excuses for Kirk's 11 Bitches' – Bambi's Diss Track Lands Hard Not everyone is on Rasheeda's team. This season, Bambi lights up the streets with a diss track taking direct aim at Rasheeda and Kirk, calling her out for sticking by him through cheating rumors with the now-viral lyric: 'You got 11 excuses for Kirk's 11 bitches.' 'We definitely caught a stray,' Rasheeda shrugs. 'But if that made you feel better, then do you, boo. A diss record don't mean nothin' to me. I stand on mine.' Kirk jumps in to clarify: 'See, we caught a stray because Spice was talkin' numbers—she said something like, 'you only got 11 streams.' So everything became about 11. I guess Bambi ran with it.' The side-eye is real, and so is the tension. Expect that confrontation to simmer—and possibly explode—on screen. New Blood, New Beef, and More Bars Than Ever This milestone season also introduces new cast members who are already shaking things up: Queen Key , fresh off touring with GloRilla and raising triplets, is balancing motherhood with her breakout rap career. , fresh off touring with GloRilla and raising triplets, is balancing motherhood with her breakout rap career.

And Spice drops the long-awaited Love & Hip Hop ATL cast compilation album— but it's her own diss track that has the internet ablaze and the Barclays Center audience shook. Meanwhile, familiar faces like Yung Joc, Scrappy, Karlie Redd, Sierra Gates, Yandy & Mendeecees, and Lil Zane are all grappling with major life shifts—music comebacks, engagements, failed marriages, body makeovers, and public betrayals: Scrappy is making big moves and collaborating with Joc on a ATL compilation album featuring several prominent artists in an effort to build his kingdom, but with all the women in his life at odds, will his family drama reign supreme? Lil Zane is gearing up for a return to the rap scene, but he's torn between owning his legacy and chasing a seat at today's table. At the same time, Ashley is reclaiming her confidence with a full-body makeover—putting herself first and shifting the balance in their relationship. As their priorities evolve, will they grow together or drift apart? Yandy and Mendeecees celebrate their ten year anniversary and are determined to hold up the image of a blissful union. Even with rumors swirling and fake friends stirring up 'lies and deceit,' they double down on building a legacy of love. Karlie Redd's short lived marriage to TLO has ended in disaster and now with her life turned upside down, she'll have to work overtime to disconnect her businesses, her music career, and her heart from him. 'Forgiveness Is a Process' – Rasheeda Gets Real About Staying With Kirk The internet has long debated Rasheeda's choice to stay with Kirk after his infidelity—but she makes no apologies. 'The good has outweighed the bad in this relationship. Forgiveness is a real process. You have to be a certain type of person to be levelheaded enough to push the distractions out and understand what you want,' she says. Kirk admits that he wasn't prepared for the emotional reality of almost losing his wife: 'At that time, I thought the relationship was over. We was in two different places. I didn't understand postpartum, I didn't understand what she was going through. But when I realized I might lose her, I knew I had to fight for our family. And I did.' And fight he did. Now, 25 years in, they're still standing—and still spicy. 'We're in the Bahamas right now,' Rasheeda grins. 'That's how you keep it hot. Quality time, shutting certain things down, and making sure we're pouring into each other.' Bad Habits, Real Talk Every couple has flaws—even reality TV royalty. Kirk confesses he procrastinates. Rasheeda? She owns up to being 'mean' when it's deserved. 'That's the Gemini in me,' she laughs. 'Only when you deserve it, boo.' Source: Jazmyn Summers / Jazmyn Summers Article by Jazmyn Summers.

Jared Leto Went Full Method for TRON: ARES and Jeff Bridges Didn't Play Along — GeekTyrant
Jared Leto is no stranger to immersive Method acting, fully transforming into his character for Disney's Tron: Ares . According to Empire Magazine, he remained in character on and off set throughout the entire shoot. Director Joachim Rønning even said that interacting with Leto required a bit of roleplaying on his part too. The filmmaker explained: 'He would come on set and not talk to anyone, which to some cast members could be intimidating, but that's what he wanted. That's what he used, to play the character. 'When I spoke to him, I'd need to go into a role of some sort too. As Master Control, Leto's Ares is like the general of the Grid, so I would treat him like that. When he'd come on to set we'd all straighten up a bit.' Leto, who plays Ares, an elite Program created by the Dillinger Corporation, asked castmates to refer to him only by his character's name. That sounds so annoying, and while most people went along with it… Jeff Bridges did not. Bridges, reprising his role as digital-world pioneer Kevin Flynn, had his own way of keeping things grounded. When asked if he followed Leto's name rule, Bridges responded: 'Since I'm Flynn, who created that whole world, I figured that I could call him whatever I wanted to. I respected his desire to be called Ares, and not have to switch back and forth, but as Flynn I felt sort of special, so on set I called him 'Air.' Flynn's above the whole thing.' In typical Leto fashion, the performance wasn't just psychological, it was physical as well. The actor described the intensity of wearing the heavy, futuristic suit: 'It's hard not to be immersed when your suit weights 40 lb. That'll put you right in the sweet spot. It was painful. But I loved it. I was always happy to be in that suit. 'And that dictates the way you move, the way you hold your body, the way you walk. So a lot of the character was in the suit. You can't put that suit on and not feel like a warrior from the future.' Tron: Ares picks up years after Tron: Legacy , and introduces cool new twist as Ares is sent from the digital world into the real one, marking humanity's first true contact with artificial intelligence. The cast also includes Greta Lee, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, and Cameron Monaghan. Will Leto's performance match the intensity of his prep? We'll find out when Tron: Ares hits theaters October 10.

How Expensify landed primo placement in Brad Pitt's blockbuster movie ‘F1'
From its first trailer, it was crystal clear that Apple was serious about making its blockbuster ode to car racing as realistic as possible. It was shot in and around an actual Formula One season. Legendary driver Lewis Hamilton was a producer and consultant. And Brad Pitt's fictional F1 team had a large collection of very real brand partners and sponsors. One of if not the most visible is expense management software brand Expensify. It's on the car, it's on the helmet, it's emblazoned across Brad Pitt's chest. Damson Idris's character actually shoots an Expensify commercial in the film. Idris also showed up to the Met Gala in the racing suit. This is 1,000-horsepower product placement. On this episode of Brand New World, I talk to Expensify's chief financial officer Ryan Schaffer, and Hannes Ciatti, founder and head creative at ad agency Alto, who give me a look under the hood of how the brand got such a prominent role in what is shaping up to be Apple's first hit film. Schaffer says that the brand is almost omnipresent in the film by nature of its placement as a F1 sponsor, but that the level of exposure around the film was unexpected. Things like the Don Tolliver/Doja Cat music video, or the fact the Expensify logo pops up in every other brand sponsor's promo materials, have made it already worth the investment. 'We have 20 companies right now promoting our logo. Other companies much larger than ours are promoting our logo, not on purpose, but we can't help but be there by nature of this sponsorship. Heineken's running a spot we're in, and we've never spoken to them.' Industry debrief We recorded this episode in late June, as most of the advertising, marketing, and brand industry was fresh off the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. That's where brands, marketers, ad agencies, tech companies, platforms, entertainment, sports, or anyone who is part of the brand world ecosystem lands in the South of France to celebrate the previous year and make deals for the months ahead. To make sense of it all, or at least a good portion of it, I called up Tim Nudd, the creativity editor at Advertising Age, and a journalist who's been covering and commenting on this industry for longer than almost anyone. Inside scoops, gossip, or just good stories, Nudd and I talked about what impressed him most, surprised him, and what he's hearing we can expect from major brands heading into the second half of the year.
