73 Questions With Yara Shahidi: Grown-ish, James Baldwin, and Bucket List Goals
Check out an exclusive tour of actress, model and activist Yara Shahidi’s home in Los Angeles….



It’s been a big—if bizarre—year for Yara Shahidi, who’s learned to appreciate the simple things in quarantine. When Vogue stopped by the actress, model and activist’s Los Angeles home for a round of 73 questions, Shahidi confessed that the brightest part of her day thus far was her morning cup of tea.
Shahidi, who stunned in September at the virtual Emmy Awards, is a major record collector who may or may not have a tattoo inspired by Frank Ocean; and between work and school, she’s always reading—her current book of choice is The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. As she generously provides a tour of her house, Shahidi recalls her time working on the hit show Black-ish, calling it the best set to “grow up on.” (No, she won’t give away any spoilers about her spinoff show Grown-ish, so don’t ask.)
While Shahidi has accomplished an astounding amount already—the woman is a karate black belt!—there are still items on her bucket list, including starting a think tank. The 20-year-old seamlessly transitions from showing off her martial-arts moves to discussing gender-specific terms in acting, and she credits her “awesome support network” of family and friends for helping her to make it all possible.
Shahidi’s next role as Tinker Bell in the live-action Disney reboot of Peter Pan is very much on her mind, but she still makes time for debates about online vs. in-person shopping (online, all the way) and whether pineapple belongs on a pizza (absolutely not, according to Shahidi). Watch her answer more questions below over a backyard game of cornhole.

Keke Palmer Saves The Day At Tina Knowles’ Book Event

In a scene that felt like something straight out of a movie, Keke Palmer became the evening’s hero at Tina Knowles’ book event in Los Angeles this past weekend. Just as Knowles was about to share insights from her new memoir, “Matriarch,” her strapless gown unexpectedly started slipping down. This moment could have turned awkward very quickly, but thanks to Palmer’s quick thinking and sense of humor, it became one of the night’s most memorable moments. As everyone held their breath, Palmer sprang into action, stepping in to help Knowles while keeping her calm.
A video that’s now trending on TikTok captures this incredible moment, showing Palmer supporting Knowles and catching her dress just in time. With the crowd still in shock, Palmer lightened the mood with a funny comment that turned their gasps into laughter. She joked, “They were acting like it was a whole murder show!” before referring to the teleprompter as if it were demanding help. This incident showcased Palmer’s natural talent for handling tricky situations with grace and humor. Knowles, ever so elegant, adjusted her gown and smiled, showing why she’s known as a fashion icon.

After the mishap, Palmer expertly shifted the focus back to the book, quipping, “They was gonna give me a heart attack,” and then seamlessly transitioned back to discussing “Matriarch.” Her blend of care for Knowles and comedic timing saved the day. This was about fixing a wardrobe malfunction and was a shining example of how to handle unexpected moments with laughter and warmth. In an industry where things often go wrong, Keke Palmer proved that sometimes, a little kindness and quick thinking can turn a potential disaster into a highlight that everyone remembers.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.
Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
