We Want Someone to Look at Us Like Tyler, the Creator Looked at Lil Nas X at the BET Awards

-

Between his jaw-dropping red carpet looks and a steamy performance of "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)," it's safe to say that Lil Nas X had one hell of a night at the 2021 BET Awards on June 27. To top it all off, he got the chance to hang out with Tyler, the Creator backstage in an adorable full-circle moment. During a December 2020 interview with Zane Lowe, Lil Nas X spoke about how artists like Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean were instrumental in helping him come out. "I think artists like Frank in general and, like, Tyler and whatever, they made it easier for me to be where I am, comfortably," he shared. "Being one of those people that was like, 'OK, I want to make room for you now.' So everybody who's coming behind me, 'OK. This is going to be cool. It's going to work out fine.'"

Could a new celebrity friendship be in the works? We hope so. It seems we're not the only ones hoping for something to come from this interaction, as fans on Twitter were quick to question whether a collab was in the duo's future. Unfortunately, only time will tell if we actually get new music from the pair. Until then, you can bask in the photos above.

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
