JAY-Z And Beyoncé Are Now Allowing Fans To Register To Vote While On The Run With Them
Rihanna Makes History By Landing The British Vogue September Issue
Now that Beyoncé and JAY-Z have wrapped up the European leg of their On The Run II tour, it's time for them to head on over to North America! American fans are in for a socially political treat, be- cause Bey and Jay are incor- porating the power of the vote into their concert.
That's right, fans will get to register to vote at every OTR II show!
The couple haven't been strangers to turning their tour
into something more meaning- ful. During their U.K. stop, Bey donated special OTR II gifts to sick kids in Scotland.
This voting registration ini- tiative is especially timely, given the conversations on both sides of the aisle about just how significant the 2018 elections will be.
Where our volunteer hive members at?! If you want to volunteer at the voting regis- tration booths, you can sign up online.
BEYONCE AND JAY-Z
Leave it to Rihanna.
The singer, actress and beauty mogul just made his- tory by becoming the first black woman to land on the cover of British Vogue’s presti- gious September issue in the publication’s entire 102 years of existence.
“I always knew it had to be Rihanna,” British Vogue edi- tor-in-chief Edward Ennin- ful said of his first September issue. “A fearless music-indus- try icon and businesswoman, when it comes to that potent mix of fashion and celebrity, nobody does it quite like her.”
Enninful styled the photo shoot by renowned fashion photographer Nick Knight. On the cover, Rihanna wears a pink tulle Prada dress and

neon-orange gloves from her Savage x Fenty collection.
Rihanna poses in a host of iconic looks for photos inside the magazine and, of course,
wears only Fenty Beauty.
Her pencil-thin eye-brows signal a new trend to look out
for this season.
British Vogue’s 400-page
September issue, which tradi- tionally sets the tone for the upcoming fashion season, fea- tures Rihanna opening up about dating, and dishing out some pretty necessary advice.
“I think a lot of people meet people and then they’re dating the idea of what the person could become, and that person never shows up and then they’re just mad disap- pointed,” she says.
She adds: “A person can al- ways get better, they can al- ways get worse, but you’ve got to be fine with what you met them as.”
How Lil Rel Howery And Jerrod Carmichael Push Comedy Boundaries On Fox’s ‘Rel’ – TCA
With Jerrod Carmichael serving as EP on Lil Rel Howery’s new Fox series Rel, the question from the TCA corps today was just how political in this new comedy series going to be?
The Carmichael Show
pushed boundaries until its ultimate cancellation from NBC; “an uptight network” dinged one reporter in the room.
“During the Barry Diller era, (Fox) really challenged and felt dangerous; there was stuff on there my mom didn’t want me to watch,” said Carmichael, “We want to contribute to that legacy.”
“On The Carmichael Show we built from the argu- ment out,” says that series former Co-EP and current Rel EP Mike Scully, “Jer-

rod was like ‘we’re going to do Ferguson’. I was like ‘Wow, when does the family go camping?'
In Rel, the writing team has been working it from re- verse, setting up the situation and layering on the political and social issues later.
One episode follows a
m u n dane day for Howery where he does his laundry, only to find that the laundro- mat has been taken over by a gang. That set-up speaks to events literally going on in Chicago, but without being too preachy and “keeping the conversation honest” per Howery.
