You can always count on Mo’Nique to keep it real, funny, fierce, and flat-out real with no chaser, and this time around, she’s taking the mic and training it on Shannon Sharpe with a little retroactive guidance. Mo’Nique made a nightclub a laughing matter out of the Sharpe situation at a recent stand-up set, which is under a lawsuit for alleged rape with Gabriella Zuniga. Mo’Nique’s warning to Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast in February 2024 has a different sting now. The viral clip making the rounds again features a woman who most definitely saw the warning signs and tried to steer him away from them.

“Shannon need him an old fat gal,” she quipped in a moment that was both hilarious and devastating cultural commentary. “One that can bake, rub feet, sip cognac and bring peace, not problems.” Mo’Nique’s comments were infused with genuine unease about the way that older men treat much younger women in the complicated dating world of today. Mo’Nique assumed the role of the no-nonsense auntie Sharpe, so obviously needed. Her delivery was typically hilarious, but the sentiment was pure wisdom. This week’s developments have put that lighthearted podcast moment in a new context. Mo’Nique’s remarks were about emotional and social maturity, especially on the part of men who held power.

And today, with public opinion in an uproar over Sharpe and his behavior, Mo’Nique’s words are like a warning bell that went ignored. And she knows it. That stand-up set was anger disguised as a joke. It was a woman with a mirror saying, “I tried to tell you.” At a time when cancellations are swift and forgiveness even swifter to wash over and cover up, Mo’Nique’s mix of comedy and caution feels like a powerful, if not novel, force. Whether Sharpe will take her advice or not, however, remains to be seen, but Mo’Nique did tell him so.

In the perpetually spinning galaxy of celebrity romance, Larsa Pippen has once again found a way to keep us on our toes and perhaps even sitting on the edges of our seats for a wedding invite. Not yet a month after unveiling the world to her flame, former pro ball player Jeff Coby, speculation has already arisen that an engagement is near for the pair. The newest chapter of Pippen’s love life unfolded in a moment that was captured by paparazzi in Miami. They were mobbed by cameras and inquisitive voices at a bustling event, dying to hear a thing or two about how the budding relationship was going.

With confidence and grace, Coby said the words that made hearts sit up and listen for the time ahead, “It’s going to be a beautiful marriage.” He didn’t stop there. He offered the crowd a date in November this year. Pippen was cool about it and didn’t echo the excitement as loudly, but her silence may have said a lot. Who knows whether she’s just eating up the attention or seriously plotting the logistics of aisle-walking. Yet, considering how recently she split up with Marcus Jordan, the timing of this announcement is nothing if not dizzying.

This has caused some skeptics to speculate that perhaps Coby’s bold statement is a means to disarm the paparazzi, throwing them a bone to keep their lenses clicking. But others are trying to figure out if this is actually watching the real deal come together in real time. But never mind the motivation, Larsa Pippen knows how to keep the spotlight toasty. From the Real Housewives drama to the front-row NBA lineage dating, she’s always got a headline brewing, and now, perhaps, wedding bells are ringing. Whether the November wedding happens or dissolves into a puff of red-carpet rumor, we’ll be watching. Larsa and Jeff may have just established a new speed record.
