Teyana Taylor Gushes On How Aaron Pierre ‘Handles' Her ‘Like A Cup Of Tea'
In a teaser for an upcoming interview with Complex Music, the singer and actress revealed that her lion King is 'very gentle' and that his support of her new music was all the help she needed.
'It felt good to have someone be as passionate and as serious as you are,' Taylor said. 'When you work on something, you have a whole team that's supported, but nobody ever gonna see it the way you see it. Sometimes, you might get so passionate, they're looking at you like, 'chill out' but to have a person that's right there like 'yup! mhmmm', to have someone on your side fully hear you and don't think your visions are crazy, don't think that what you see or what you feel is crazy…'
She continued,
'I'm really big on how you handle me, and I feel like you got to handle me like a cup of tea. How would you walk with a cup of tea versus how you would walk with a bottle of water? You walk with a bottle of water, you're like, shaking the water, you throwing it up and down. With a cup of tea you walk slower. You're more calm, you're more delicate. And even when you sip it, what happens if you sip the tea too, too fast? You're going to burn your tongue. I am a cup of tea.'
Snap, snap, snap . Heard you, Teyana!
'I feel like he handles me as such, you know, he's very, very gentle. It allows me to feel warm and to feel safe and not be in survival mode,' she said in closing.
Our girl has been basking in that pride rock loving since going public with Pierre during this year's Oscars after parties and has released visuals starring her new man for two tracks from her upcoming project, Escape Room . The latest, 'Bed of Roses' features the two sharing some sweet, intimate moments on..welll..a bed of roses, and the internet has not been able to handle all the heat. The teaser brought celebs like Winnie Harlow, Monica and Audra Day to the comments to gush over the hot couple.
The cute visuals also feature a spoken intro from actress Issa Rae who seems to be telling the story of how Teyana and Aaron came to fall for one another unexpectedly. May that type of surprise find us all!
It's unclear when the two may have started getting cozy, but it's obvious that they're both really into what they're building together. Not only did Tey throw him a surprise birthday dinner with both of their families and friends, she also brought him along to the BET Awards where she had her daughters, Junie and Rue Rose, by her side as well. Definitely seems like more than a summer fling and we're certainly here for it.

'The trailer obviously shows the highlights of the season, but each episode delivers something spectacular,' King told BOSSIP. 'So don't sleep on it!' added Latisha.

Meanwhile, Nell is seen going toe-to-toe with LaTisha and Kimmi—who fires back with a threat to dunk her in a pool—and Maurice calls out Martell over rumors that they both cheated on their wives. 'What does my d*** look like?!' Maurice pointedly asks during the confrontation.

Awkward Announcement? Fans Think Jonathan Majors Put Meagan Good's Possible Baby Bump On Blast — ‘Who Knows If She's Pregnant?'
It seems Meagan Good is ready to expand her family with husband Jonathan Majors, who might've awkwardly ambushed her with the announcement that they already started. The actress confirms that babies are definitely on her brain and is making it clear she's eager to embrace that journey with her new hubby. Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty As BOSSIP previously reported, Good's marriage to Jonathan Majors has been a whirlwind of headlines. The couple first sparked romance rumors in May 2023. They then announced their engagement in November 2024 and officially tied the knot in March of this year. Majors, 35, also comes into the marriage as a father, sharing a 12-year-old daughter from a past relationship, a fact that Meagan highlights as a positive attribute in him. Good, 43, told Us Weekly at Lifetime's Summer Soirée that having children is now a firm desire. 'I definitely am ready to have kids now,' she shared, emphasizing her partner's role. She wants to do it with someone she can 'really do it with, and get excited about doing it with, and who is a phenomenal father already, but now we can do it together.' The couple has even discussed ideal family size, with Good confirming, 'Two would be good.' And they've already got a bustling house, as she humorously noted, 'We got four dogs already. So, we got four Belgian Malinois, and they are the hyperest dogs of life, but the house is very safe.' Interestingly, Meagan credits her role as Camille Parks on the hit series 'Harlem' with helping her navigate her own feelings towards becoming a parent. 'I know that there's a lot of similarities to Camille's journey and to Meagan's journey because I always knew that I wanted to be a mother,' Good explained of her character. She went on to explore the societal pressures she felt, asking herself, ''Is that because I felt like I should want that?' And then there were times where I wasn't sure, and I was like, 'Am I pushing back against it because I don't like people telling me what I'm supposed to want?'' Playing Camille allowed her to openly explore the 'taboo' of not wanting children, 'Being able to say out loud that Camille doesn't want kids — because it's such a taboo thing to say — and everyone always goes, 'Well, what's wrong with you?'' Good elaborated. She added, 'It's, like, 'No, some people just don't want to,' and to be able to explore that with her, and then ultimately for her to be the one to get pregnant and be able to explore that journey. … Some people, maybe they just don't want to. For other people, maybe there is something you're afraid of, maybe there is something you've experienced, maybe there is something that's holding you back, and all of those things, nothing can be wrong. All these things are just a part of our journey.' Ultimately, this means Meagan Good is ready for kids in real life, 'It definitely made me excited to go, 'OK, now that I've explored and unpacked so much through my character in more ways than one, now I get to go, 'Yeah, I think this actually makes me super ready,'' she shared. Married life with Majors has been 'pretty amazing' for Good, who expressed her immense happiness as a newlywed. 'I'm just really happy,' Good told Us . 'He's very silly. He always falls asleep in the middle of movies. I love doing adventures with him. If I'm like, 'Let's just go try this. Let's go do that.' He's like, 'All right, let's go.' We're just both in it, like, two little kids who can't believe we're allowed to do what we want to do.' Speaking of Jonathan's silly side, it's hard to tell whether he was trolling us or his new bride with his latest joke about her possible baby bump. In a recent Instagram Live from their gym session, he was filming Meagan and surprisingly put her on baby bump blast. 'Her belly does look thick! Who knows if she's pregnant? I can't call it!' he said. Even with all the acting experience under her belt, Meagan couldn't hide her surprise at the awkward moment. She didn't confirm or deny a mini Majors on the way, but the joke has pregnancy rumors swirling all over the internet. It's too early for congratulations, but at least the lovebirds are living their best lives as they plan their future and family together. The post Awkward Announcement?

‘Eddington': Instant Oscar predictions for Ari Aster's latest
Over the course of only four feature films, writer-director Ari Aster has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most daring filmmakers working today. And with his latest, Eddington, opening in theaters, Aster has set his sights on our very recent past to expand what the hell happened to all of us during COVID. But for as big of a splash as Aster has made since Hereditary, his films have yet to earn a single Oscar nomination. Could that change as he continues his shift away from arthouse horror and further into the world of social satire? More from Gold Derby Watch 'Superman' crush 'Smurfs' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' at the weekend box office From 'In the Heat of the Night' to 'E.T,' Streisand to 'Severance': How Alan Bergman soundtracked Hollywood Here's a look at the instant Oscar odds for Eddington. Original Screenplay If any branch is geared toward rewarding Aster's massive creative swings, it's the writers, and the early predictions data supports that premise. Eddington's highest ranking category in Gold Derby's Oscar nominations predictions so far is easily Best Original Screenplay (in 13th place), and it makes sense. Eddington is playing with genre and speaking to the moment in a way that may not correlate with a high Cinemascore, but could engender admiration from Academy members in the writers branch. Aster is managing to make risky and creative films, and those efforts are often the ones awarded in the Screenplay categories. Oscars Nominations 2026 Best Picture Best Director Best Actress Best Actor Best Supporting Actress Best Supporting Actor Best Adapted Screenplay Best Original Screenplay Contender Odds 0.

And after two Best Actress Oscars, her mere presence inserts a movie into the awards conversation. The performance is a typically strong one from Stone, in a role that has her playing in the wilder end of modern human behavior. Stone is currently sitting at 17th in Gold Derby prediction ranking, but that could quickly change as Eddington rolls out, depending on how word of mouth spreads. It's certain to be a polarizing film, but support could coalesce around a presence as well known and liked as Stone's.

He has gone without a nom since winning his Best Actor in 2020 for Joker, and at this early stage of the conversation, Eddington doesn't appear to be the most likely film to get him his next. Phoenix sits at a distant 30th in the Best Actor rankings, mostly based on reads of the trailer and the film's premiere at Cannes, so like Stone, his awards future will depend on Eddington's reception and whether it can capture the conversation.
