It's been a dramatic week for celebrities, ranging from The Real cast speaking on Tamar Braxton's divorce to Halle Berry spitting some rhymes.

See what some of your favorite famous faces had to say below:

  1. The cast of The Real sends Tamar well wishes in the midst of divorce:

    “Tamar, I know that we’ve been through a lot on this show and I understand that but you know what? We truly wish you the best and we hope that you get through this.”

  2. Halle Berry drags James Corden in epic rap battle:

    "James has a Tony, that's cool and all. But I have an Oscar, so suck my monster balls. Fat jokes are too easy; I try to be nicer. But who held your pizza when you kissed Sean Spicer? You apologized, so I know you learned your lesson. Too bad you couldn't give a hand job to Jeff Sessions."

  3. Tyler Perry admits to having talks with the Marvel and DC Comics studios:

    "I've had a couple conversations, but I would always say, 'I'm not the guy to do this.’ I'm not the guy that can bring this vision to life 'cause it takes such a village to pull it together, and I'm not a guy that can work with fifty other directors and producers telling you what to do, how to do it, when to do it. That doesn't work for me. I saw that in a couple of the sci-fi movies that I've been a part of and I think, 'Uhh, I'm not doing that.'"

  4. Monica reveals why she would never join 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta':

    "I would only join a show that I could also be executive producer of because what my children see me do is important to me. I would only be on a show where I could see everything before it airs and be a full participant in what it means. And my goal, if I ever were to do a television show, would be to help girls like myself or people from the communities that are similar to the world that I’m from."

  5. Jeannie Mai talks deciding to divorce her husband:

    “To this day, I swear, he’s the best man I know. I married him because he’s like my dad; very loyal, very compassionate, so funny…an awesome guy. In our 13 years of being together there were never any lies, no betrayal, no cheating, nothing. So I want to say to you ladies, you guys have known from season one, I’m always honest about things we struggle through. I was real…sometimes too real for everyone to have an opinion..but it took us time. You guys are so supportive and I love our Real fam and friends out there who know that it’s not about taking sides, it’s about loving what you go through."

  6. Toya Wright talks beef with Tamar Braxton:

    "I would like to say that I wish Tamar Braxton the best. I have nothing negative to say about her. I think she is an amazing singer and very talented. I wish her much success."

  7. Joseline Hernandez talks why dating a bisexual man would be 'a problem':

    "I can never say never. But, it can be a problem in my thoughts, I’m so dominant, but the masculine side of him might get lost in my thoughts, and that might become a problem."

  8. Jordan Peele explains how president Obama inspired 'Get Out':

    "Being an African-American, I have never seen my perspective in a horror film. Black people would recognize that fear — it’s part of the Black identity.... There are things we are cognizant of because we have to be. For white audiences, they see how it is to be a Black man in a suburban neighborhood at night. [Get Out] has my worst fears realized as a Black man in this country — from the evil white girl who’s been lying to you to the lacrosse stick — those things are foreign to me."

  9. Chrisette Michele is trying to redeem herself after Trump comments:

    “It’s an exciting and challenging time to be a creative. Because it’s important to not be afraid to talk about what’s happening, to talk about being woke vs. being authentic. I just wanted to write a song in which I’m simply celebrating being strong at a time like this. The truth is that if we don’t lift each other up, nobody else will.”

  10. Zendaya speaks on how fashion has inspired her:

    “Fashion has given me that vehicle to not care. Literally, the only opinion that should matter when you step outside the house or when you wear something and you put something on when you look in the mirror should be your own. I thank you for pushing me to be confidence and pushing me to take chances.”

  11. Solange talks the art of styling your hair as a Black woman:

    "I got to experience women arriving in one state of mind and leaving in a completely transformed way," she recalled to the magazine of her experiences at her mother's salon. "It wasn't just about the hair. It was about the sisterhood and the storytelling. Being a young girl who was really active in dance, theatre and on the swim team, the salon was a kind of safe haven."
