Monica Is Married! The Songstress Announces Her Nuptials With Longtime Love Anthony Wilson
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Two hearts. One love. Forever. That's how Monica captioned the carousel of photos she dropped on August 4, announcing her marriage to longtime friend-turned-love Anthony Wilson. In the Instagram shots, Monica and her new hubby radiated with love, style, and a lifetime of matching each other's fly. Keep scrolling to see the images. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. The Grammy-winning singer reportedly said 'I do' in an intimate ceremony. Viral photos from their wedding day capture the day's unique vibe, featuring a vintage glam style and flair. Monica – known to push the limits of fashion – chose black instead of white for her wedding editorial. She shared images with fans on August 3. The 'Boy Is Mine' co-tour star looked breathtaking in a black off-the-shoulder gown that hugged her body and showed off her gorgeous curves. The gown featured sheer mesh panels at the neckline and sleeves, along with simple details. Bringing in the real wedding-bell drama, Monica topped off her floor-length garment with exaggerated blush-toned feather cuff details from La Pointe that screamed luxe. She paired the dress and fur with a black mini Hermès Kelly bag, gorgeous lashes, a soft matte nude lip, and cascading jet black waves with face-framing bangs. Her look was a combination of old Hollywood and modern bride – as iconic as Monica is herself. Anthony matched her energy, wearing a crisp white double-breasted tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, styled with a black bowtie and pants. He elevated his matrimonial moment with a jewel brooch on his lapel and kept his hair close-cut. The couple has been together since late 2023. Anthony, who's a power player in the entertainment industry ( BMF, Chris Brown, etc) has been Monica's quiet counterpart. In her words, he's a partner who lets her be soft. In an interview with HelloBeautiful , Monica opened up about how this relationship is different: 'When you fall in love with someone that's been your friend for a very long time, I think it's different… I'm enjoying being supported. I'm enjoying being really loved in a way that allows me to be a lot softer than I typically am.' Details about the couple's wedding are still emerging – and we can't wait to see more pictures. Congratulations, Monica and Anthony! SEE ALSO Monica Is Married! The Songstress Announces Her Nuptials With Longtime Love Anthony Wilson was originally published on

Drake Pelted With Toilet Tissue & Water Bottles During Amsterdam & London Concerts
Source: Simone Joyner / Getty / Drake Videos have hit the internet showing fans pelting Drake with water bottles and toilet tissue while he continues to perform overseas. According to multiple reports and TikTok videos, not all fans attending the Canadian Hip-Hop star's shows are happy with the 6 God, as some are throwing objects at the rapper. A post on X, formerly Twitter, claims the bad behavior is due to Drake not delivering a performance worthy of the price of admission. Drake, standing on the stage, hyping the crowd while asking them to sing his songs, is not what folks paid for, and is what is leading to fans chucking water bottles and toilet paper. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. In one of the videos, Drake gets hit in the face with a bottle, while in others, you can see toilet paper being thrown and landing behind the 'God's Plan' crafter with his team quickly picking up the tossed items. There haven't been any videos of Drake threatening to stop the show if the dangerous behavior continues during his performances. So he seems to be taking it in stride and not punishing everyone for a handful of people acting stupid. Drake's touring abroad has been in the headlines lately, especially following his battle and loss to Kendrick Lamar. During some of his performances, Drizzy co-signed 'f*** Kendrick Lamar' chants. Throwing objects at performers has become an alarming trend, and we wish fans would stop, as someone can seriously get hurt. You can see reactions to Drake being blessed with TP and water bottles in the gallery below.

Review: City Lit offers a challenging and poignant production of ‘Jesus Hopped the ‘A' Train'
Early on in 'Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train,' a sadistic corrections officer in Rikers Island prison compares himself to a cowboy in charge of cattle earmarked for the slaughterhouse. His grim comment sums up the central metaphor of this 2000 drama by Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis, which examines the dehumanization inherent in our criminal justice system, particularly for Latino and Black men. As directed by Esteban Andres Cruz at City Lit Theater, the play's livestock imagery runs deep, from the piteous to the disgusting to the macabre. But there are more layers to Guirgis' play than this effective, if sometimes on-the-nose, symbolism. The script also probes the meaning of justice, the limits of the law in morally gray situations and the role of religious faith in an institution not conducive to redemption. With City Lit's production drawing clear parallels to today's headlines, especially through projections designed by Andres Fiz, this 25-year-old play feels disturbingly relevant. Recent University of Michigan graduate and Chicago native Lenin Izquierdo stars as Angel Cruz, a 30-year-old Puerto Rican man charged with the murder of Reverend Kim, the wealthy leader of a cult-like religious movement who claims to be the son of God. Desperate after his unsuccessful attempts to extricate his best friend from the church's influence, Angel resorts to shooting Kim in what he claims was intended as a non-lethal attack. When Kim later dies in a follow-up surgery, Angel's charges are escalated, and he faces a potential life sentence. Mary Jane Hanrahan (Maria Stephens), a plucky Irish Italian New Yorker, is Angel's public defender, motivated by a genuine belief in her client's cause and a competitive drive to win a difficult case. In a role reminiscent of Alfieri, the lawyer in Arthur Miller's 'A View from the Bridge,' Mary Jane narrates most of the play's legal procedures, as well as several traumatic events that occur during Angel's incarceration. Filtering key offstage developments through a secondhand narrator has mixed results; this dramatic choice adds some distance between audience and protagonist, but it also avoids the pitfalls of staging overt violence and keeps Angel's scenes focused on a more internal character arc. When Angel isn't consulting with Mary Jane, he spends his daily hour-long breaks from solitary confinement in conversation with Lucius Jenkins (Bradford Stevens), a Black man on death row for murdering eight people. Under the menacing surveillance of Officer Valdez (Manny Tamayo), the upbeat and chatty Lucius, who has converted to Christianity in prison, tries to comfort the shattered younger man and persistently proselytizes about his faith. In their interactions, the show really hits its stride in terms of dialogue and pacing, with sharp banter punctuating serious discussions of existential questions. Without attempting to exonerate Lucius, who shares some gruesome details about his crimes, the play encourages audience members to look beyond the orange jumpsuit and consider the complicated man and the circumstances that led to his horrific actions. This nuanced perspective is amplified by two scenes featuring another corrections officer, Charlie D'Amico (Michael Dailey), who grows close to Lucius during their time together in Rikers. The proverbial good cop to Valdez's bad cop, D'Amico narrates one of Lucius' most significant offstage moments, similarly to Mary Jane's monologues about Angel. In both cases, we hear about the pain of men of color through the voices of their white allies, a structural decision perhaps intended to protect actors and audience members from unnecessary trauma. Regardless of how the script reaches their characters' respective crises, Izquierdo and Stevens both give moving performances as Angel and Lucius try to connect over the physical bonds and the spiritual differences that separate them. Angel's tenderness and vulnerability also come through in his conversations with Mary Jane, especially when he tells the childhood story that inspires the play's name, and in his solitary moments, when he stumbles through fragments of the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary. 'Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train' occasionally loses steam in its extensive ethical debates, but when the play focuses on the humanity of its characters, City Lit's production is both challenging and poignant. Despite the distraction of a noisy fog machine, the livestock motif comes full circle in the end, when Tianxuan Chen's seemingly simple set, draped in a piecemeal collection of off-white canvases, gives way to a powerful final 'Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train' (3 stars) When: Through Sept. 7 Where: City Lit Theater, 1020 W.
