Cardi B Teases New Reebok Sneaker Collection With Unboxing Video
Whitney Houston Lands
Move over, red bottoms: Cardi B has red sneakers now.
The “WAP” rapper’s first sneaker collaboration with Reebok became available Fri- day, November 13, and she gave fans a sneak peek at her new shoes in an Instagram video on Sunday.
In the video, two women deliver a giant “B”-shaped red snakeskin box, which unzips to reveal an interior modeled after Cardi’s mouth and stuck-out tongue, along with
collab packaging. I never seen it in person,” Cardi wrote in the caption.
While the rapper has starred in Reebok’s ad cam- paigns since 2018, this marks her first time collaborating on a design. She announced the collection while celebrating her 28th birthday in October.
The collection includes the Cardi B Club C ($100) and the Cardi B Club C Double ($80), both of which comes in women’s and children’s sizes in black, white and red.

Apple gave the show, from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse producers Lord and Miller, TriStar TV and Sony Pictures Television, a straight-to-series order back in June.

'Hustlers' Producers Beat Libel Suit By Woman Who Inspired Jennifer Lopez Character
A federal judge has stripped down a lawsuit from the real-life adult entertainer who inspired Jennifer Lopez's character in Hus- tlers. Last week, Samantha Barbash's complaint against STX, Gloria Sanchez Produc- tions and Lopez's Nuyorican Productions was rejected.
Barbash, who was a host at Score’s Gentleman’s Club and Hustlers Club and pled guilty in 2015 to conspiracy, assault and grand larceny, al- leged that Hustlers exploited her likeness without her per- mission and defamed her.
U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote dismissed the privacy cause of action with the determination that the ex- ploitation, according to Bar-
bash's own complaint, did- n't include her “name, portrait, picture, or voice" in the marketing of the movie.
As for defamation, the judge did find

While Barbash pled guilty to participating in a conspiracy in which she and her confed- erates provided their victims with illegal drugs in order to gain control of and use their credit cards, Barbash alleges she didn't, as the movie sug- gests, develop the recipe for the drugs, manufacture them, nor use them.
Oprah Winfrey and Brad Pitt are teaming up to adapt The Water Dancer, the best-selling novel by Ta-Ne- hisi Coates, for MGM.

Coates adapted his own novel, which was Winfrey’s first selection of her revived Oprah’s Book Club in part- nership with Apple and was listed as one of the best books of the year for 2019 by Time, NPR, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Vanity Fair and Esquire, among oth- ers.
