    "It just got to a point where it's just like, I can’t. Just to make sure. And I live in L.A. I'm from L.A. So I move around how I want to move, you know what I'm saying? So that's what I felt like I needed."

  2. Here’s what Keyshia Cole told her ex before he told her he’s dating a friend:

  3. Kendall Jenner comes to Kylie’s defense in new interview:

  4. Gina Torres opens up about the ending of her and Laurence Fishburne’s marriage:

  5. Here’s Kenya’s response to Kim Zolciak dissing her marriage:

    "Worry about pimping your daughter out, b***h."

  6. Shonda Rhimes has some honest thoughts about all of these “firsts” at the Emmys:

    "It's embarrassing, frankly. To me, it feels embarrassing that we are still in a place in which we still have to note these moments... I'm hoping that it's not a trend. I'm hoping that people don't feel satisfied because they saw a lot of people win, and then think that we're done."

  7. Michael K. Williams thinks everyone should give Sean Spicer a break:

    "First of all, everybody deserves a second chance. Everybody. Who am I to say don't give somebody a second chance? They want a second chance, everybody deserves a second chance. I enjoyed his performance last night on the Emmys."

    “I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different, those are our super powers. Every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren't in it.”

  10. Donald Glover hilariously thanks Trump for his Emmy win:

    "I'm so happy. Thank you so much! This is nuts. I really want to thank the Academy again — everybody in here, you guys, I love you. I want to thank my mom and my dad again. I want to thank the city of Atlanta. I want to thank Trump for making Black people number one on the most oppressed list. He's the reason I'm probably up here."

  11. And here’s another reason to love Issa Rae:

    "I'm rooting for everybody Black. I am!"
