Keke Palmer is feeling powerful. The same day that Palmer’s boyfriend, Darius Jackson, shamed her online for her sexy outfit, the 29-year-old spoke to The Cut and opened up about her mental headspace in the wake of the drama.
Palmer and Jackson, who met in 2021, welcomed their son, Leodis, in February. When Palmer wore a sheer outfit to see Usher in concert five months later, Jackson took to Twitter.
“It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he wrote, adding that Palmer’s outfit went against the “standards and morals” he believes in.
“After having my baby, I’ve gotten so much more powerful. I’m just so strengthened in a crazy way. Strutting my stuff, enjoying,” she said. “I’ll be honest, I think before I even had the baby, I was really actually quite self-conscious. In a way that you would expect, considering the kind of work...

The 28-year-old actor, who plays Apollo Creed's son opposite Sylvester Stallone in the Rocky spinoff, tells Men's Fitness he packed on 24 pounds of muscle for the role. "Man, he's come a long way," his trainer, Corey Calliet, tells the mag. "When we first started he could barely bench 20 pounds, his legs were flailing everywhere...he had nothing."

During this year's San Diego Comic Con I had a chance to meet and hang out for director Ryan Coogler as he and I were in the same panel over the summer, and we were just talking shop and just being fans of film. Now a few weeks ago I had a chance to talk to Coogler again about his upcoming film "Creed". The film reunites Coogler with his “Fruitvale Station” star Michael B. Jordan as the son of Apollo Creed, and explores a new chapter in the “Rocky” story, starring Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone in his iconic role.
Here is what he had to say about the film.
My question is, was it you who come up with the idea to do some sort of like back story to Apollo Creed? How did this all come about? How did you plan the script?
Ryan Coogler: Yeah, it was my idea.
