Divorce Shocker? Cruise & Holmes

It's official...After 5 yrs of marriage Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from Tom Cruise! Citing irreconcilable differences Holmes is seeking sole custody of their 6 yr old daughter Suri sole legal custody and "primary residential custody" of Suri as well.
After the media got wind of the split (the documents were filed anonymously without names) Katie's rep released this statement:

"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family... Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

Tom's rep released this statement:

"Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy to work this out."


TMZ is reporting that the cause of the split is Tom's involvement in the Scientology Church and that Katie has never been fully committed to Scientology, even though she has had ties with the church. The couple the couple had been arguing over Suri -- that she's now of the age where Scientology becomes a significant part of her life. It is rumored that Katie filed for sole custody because she does not want Tom to control decisions related to religion.

 Wheeeew you just KNOW that this is going to get U-G-L-Y....It has been rumored for years that Katie is in fact Toms beard and that the minute her contract was up she would be headed for the hills like Von Trapps in the Sound of Music. Stay tuned cause I'm sure there is lots more dramz ahead.

No More Chicken Drama.....MJB Speaks

Mary J. Blige stopped by the Angie Martinez show yesterday to open up about the Burger King Chicken Wrap debacle.


When asked what the concept was supposed to be:
It was sold to us that I would be shot in an iconic way and it was going to be great so I was looking for someone to have mercy but no one had mercy and it’s cool. It was a learning experience.


When asked what she thought about seeing the finished commercial:
I went online to listen to the remix I did with Fat Joe and I’m looking for that and all I see is Burger King, chicken, buffoonery and I’m like, “What the heck?” It just broke my heart that people were going crazy and I understand the laughter and the jokes that was happening. That’s all good! You’re supposed to do that when something like that happens . It made people’s website [hits] go up. It made people get more ratings on their radio stations. Cool. Whatever. Hehe Haha, but the thing that hurt me is when people were just starting to say vicious and negative things that didn’t even have nothing to do with that. What it did was expose everyone and everything that was in my life and it showed me who my friends are.


When I saw it, it hurt me so bad. It looked like soft porn. On the part where it says “What’s in the chicken wrap?” How about this, I was asking them a question for real. I couldn’t remember the words so I was like, “What’s in the chicken warp?” They sped it up and made me look ridiculous. It was like I wanted to crawl under the bed. It was crazy how I felt, you don’t even know. I had to go to the airport the next day when it was hot off the press. It was a mistake! People look at it as a mistake but I did it because I thought it was something that wouldn’t come out like that.

It's Official...... Ann Curry Leaving Today Show

It's official after 15 years Ann Curry said goodbye to "Today" this morning. After many days of speculation she made it official today. With a heartfelt speech to the viewers with her co-host Lauer and Roker sitting beside her.

TMZ has the video of Ann saying goodbye here.

USA Today had the first interview with Curry Wednesday, before her big announcement today:

 "Going to be a bit of a tough day, I'm going to have to tell our viewers. That's what makes me more emotional than anything. I don't want to leave them. I love them. And I will really miss them."
Instead, Curry's new multiyear contract with NBC has her leading a seven-person unit with a ticket to cover the world's biggest stories, from the civil uprising in Syria to the plight of the poor in America. She'll produce network specials and pieces for NBC Nightly News, Dateline, Rock Center— and Today— and she'll occasionally fill in as anchor on Nightly News and elsewhere.

While she describes her new job as one that any journalist would crave, she makes no secret that the very public process that pushed her out of the co-host chair amid rumor-fed headlines has left wounds.

"I don't know who has been behind the leaks, but no question they've hurt deeply," she says. She admits she would have liked more time to work things out as co-host, and she bristles a bit at the suggestion that she lacked "chemistry" with co-host Matt Lauer.

"You know, Matt and I have had great on-air chemistry for 14 years, been part of the No. 1 winning team for a history-making number of years," she says. "That said, I just finished my freshman year as co-host. In every single co-host's first year, there have been kinks to be worked out, and perhaps I deserve as much blame for that as anyone."

Does she think she was given enough time to work out those kinks? "No, I do not," she says flatly.


Would she have liked more time? "Oh, sure I would have," she says.

Curry rejects the notion she's responsible for the ratings slip that threatens Today's long dominance on morning TV, though last week New York Times writer Mike Hale wrote an article examining the idea it was "Ms. Curry's fault" because of a perceived lack of warmth and ease.


ABC's Good Morning America broke NBC's 16-year winning streak in April and has taken three additional weeks since then.


"I know I am not to blame for the ratings worries," Curry says. "And my bosses have said to me there are many factors involved. There is no doubt that the rating wars have become meaner and less focused on our responsibilities as journalists," though she says some at Today do "brilliant work."

I feel like they did Ann dirty with this one.......

Time To Let Go.....David Beckham

There comes a time in every ballers life that they have to say goodbye to the game, hang up the equipment and leave the running, jumping and playing to the next generation. That time has come for soccer favorite (and allround banger) David Beckham. Beckham (37) has been playing professionally since 1992 (19 yrs for the mathmatically challenged).

Beckham did not make the starting lineup for the 18 man squad for Team Britain Olympic summer games.
After failing to qualify for the team Beckham had this to say:
"Everyone knows how much playing for my country has always meant to me, so I would have been honored to have been part of this unique Team GB squad. Naturally I am very disappointed, but there will be no bigger supporter of the team than me. And like everyone, I will be hoping they can win the gold."

Becks... I <3 you..I really, do but it may be time to start thinking about retirement. Go out on top and leave the soccer playing to the next generation. I may have never watched you run the field or kick a ball but I have enjoyed every 1 of your ads.....

Ratchet Reality Rewind...Low Budget But We Love It

A sneak peak of the show Big Ang debuted on VH1 last night. The name of the show says it all. Big Ang lives big and parties big! Ang owns a bar named the Drunk Monkey and she rides with a bunch of rowdie chicks (imagine the Jersey Shore in 30 years). 


I appreciate Big Ang, she is a wild girl and you just know she is killing those old mob guys with her big boobs, big lips and tiny clothes!

Rumor Has It....The Today Show

Rumor Has It that the dramz is going down for the Today Show team and specifically for host Matt Lauer. NBC is rumored to be in negotiations to move Ann Curry out of the co-host spot and either Savannah Guthrie or Hoda Kotb into her place.Radar Online is reporting that Natalie Morales was only briefly considered because of her past with Lauer and that she will leave if passed over for the promotion. Morales has worked for the network since 2006.

Twitter is Messy....Stoudemire Fined

Whelp the NBA is hitting Amare Stoudemire where it hurts….in the wallet. TMZ is reporting that Amare has been fined 50k for tweeting a homophobic slur to a fan.
Amare also publicly apologized by saying:

“I am a huge supporter of civil rights for all people. I am disappointed in myself for my statement to a fan.”



The fine is a direct result of the twitter exchange below. Amare also received our Dumb @ss of the day award for this stunt.

Reality Rewind....I Watch So You Don't Have To

Hollywood Ex’s



Episode 1 debuted last night, featuring Nicole Murphy (Eddie Murphy’s ex); Mayte Garcia (Prince’s ex); Andrea Kelly (R. Kelly’s ex); Jessica Canseco (Jose Canseco’s ex); and Sheree Fletcher (Will Smith’s ex).

The ex-wives in this show were very candid about where they are in life and where they are in their relationships with their ex-husbands.

Nicole Murphy is the epicenter of this group and is friends with all of the ex-wives and introduced Andrea Kelly to the group. Engaged to Michael Strahan and a couple of years after divorcing Eddie she seems to be in a good place. She does revel though that she was swindled out of a lot of money in an investment scheme gone wrong.

Ratchet Reality Rewind.....Low Budget But We Love It

Episode 2 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta came on last night and it was at its ratchet best! Mimi's friend Ariane is determined to help Mimi get past her infatuation with Stevie J, but it is clear she is waging a losing battle. After being humiliated the night before with Stevie J leaving with Joseline, Mimi still can't commit to moving on. Those child support checks must be AMAZING because she won't even consider letting him go.

Karlie Redd is all things messy ( and I <3 it) she managed to work both sides of the Mimi and Joseline situation with the intent to work with Stevie J. but her flapping gums may make that impossible. Karli reminded me of the BBW trouble-maker Suzie.

Gone But Not Forgotten...RIP King Of Pop

The King of Pop will never be forgotten or replaced!

Tony Parker May Miss The Olympics

Tony Parker's Olympic dreams may have ended because of a shard of glass. Parker's eye was injured during the fracas that occurred between Chris Brown and Drake in club W.i.P. VIPs section. Bottles were thrown and club W.i.P. was subsequently shut down.

Parker filed a 20 million dollar lawsuit against the club due to his injury, and it appears as though the damage to Parker's eye was worse than first believed.

According to an interview posted on Parker's website: "I almost lost my eye....I'm seeing a specialist in New York with the hope of being given the all clear to play in the Olympic Games,"  "Anything can happen, including me being out of the Olympics. The decision doesn't belong to me anymore. It's in the hands of the doctor and San Antonio."

Wow this sucks! See what happens when sensitive thugs get to popping off in the club? innocent people get hurt!

Bridezillas...


My name is Tinsley and I am a Bridezilla junkie (sits back down)


Jeanine & Callie....Wow where to start? Jeanine's fiance Thomas has set mankind back like 100 years because this chick has his cojones in a choke hold. I don't get why he hasn't run far far away from her. She yells at him, embarrasses him and is mean to his family... Thomas admitted to cheating on her and I understand why she forgave him (real talk no other man would put up with her behavior) but the only explanation I can think of for him actually marrying her is that she must be paying ALL of his bills and cooking him a hot meal at night because between that voice and that attitude I just can't understand why they are getting married.


Callie is marrying a Dutchman and the language barrier must be why he can't recognize the crazy that is seeping out of her pores. She cries at the drop of a hat and then gets mad at her in-laws (who don't speak English) for not liking her and hating all of the excursions she planned for the wedding weekend. FYI her in-laws loved the excursions and think she is great.....

I love bridezillas but shows like this really shed a light as to why the divorce rate is so high, because I totally understand that weddings are a stressful time but d@mn some of these chicks are just straight evil!

*************************************************




Empire Girls...


A new episode of Empire Girls debuted on Style Network last night. Adrienne went out on a blind date that was straight out of punked (her date asked if she was into 1 night stands and 3-somes).

During a girls night out Adrienne rehashed the date, and the discussion got heated when her friend Layla dropped the reality bomb on her that maybe Adrienne is the cause of all her relationship problems because she is too superficial...needless to say that didn't go over well and for a moment I thought she was going to flip the table over RHONJ style (the truth stings).

Adrienne then invited Julissa to the studio with her while she worked on a song with Neyo. The session went left when Julissa attempted to check Neyo about what is hot on the radio versus what he is in the studio producing. All of her "helping" led Neyo to ask Adrienne to not have Julissa come back to the studio while she is working (Julissa clearly didn't know that Neyo is sensitive about his art).


SMH at both of these chicks...Adrienne for forgetting that she needs to get back to grinding and give up the socializing, and at Julissa for not understanding that you have to keep your mouth shut in the studio when people are working.


These two are like Lucy and Ethel, with multiple wannabe fashionista outfits and way too many accessories. I can barely pay attention to what they are saying for looking at their outfits and accessories. It's Jerseylicious meets J.Lo..aka they never met an accessory they didn't want to wear.

Someone please get June Ambrose on the line stat cause they need a serious make-under!

It Just Got Ugly...........Twitter Beef

On episode 1 of Love and Hip hop K. Michelle shed some light as to why her debut was unsuccessful and told viewers about being abused by her boyfriend who was also on her management team. She has been doing interviews recently and has not denied that the person who abused her and spent her recording budget way Memphitz, Toya Carters husband.

Well it has officially gotten ugly instagram/twitter style:





To which K.Michelle had this to say via twitter:

Like everyone else I don't know who to believe as there is always 3 sides to the story (Hers/His and then the truth) but I'm sure the story and the twitter dramz ain't ovah...............

Rumor Has It....

Rumor has it that the Today Show Co-Anchor Ann Curry is on the way out and that Savannah Guthrie is slated to fill her spot on the top ranked morning show.

Ratings have been down since Curry took the Anchor chair after Meredith Vieira left. It is rumored that NBC offered Vieira big bucks to return but she declined. To make the situation even more sticky Matt Lauer allegedly held up his contract negotiations because he wanted the network to get rid of Curry.

Am I the only one who feels bad for Ann? I hate her interviewing style (she whispers when asking sensitive questions) but I think she does a good job otherwise. I didn't like Meredith when she first started anchoring the Today show either and she grew to be a favorite. I say give Curry a chance!

Reality Rewind..We Watch So You Don't Have To!

A new episode of L.A. Hair came on WEtv last night and the drama continues. Angela the backstabbing former protege was back from suspension and causing waves with the new stylist China.

China is going all the way live already, and is making Angela look like Molly Meek with her over the top attitude and demands...She expects that when she calls for the receptionist that they be right at her elbow asking her what she needs (Where has she worked? cause it sounds like she wants an indentured servant not an assistant).


Seriously where did Kim find her? she is popping off hard, I guess the old adage of while the cat is away the mice will play and China is causing an uproar in the Kimble Salon while Kim is doing house calls.


Meanwhile Shari Headley is back in the salon with a hair emergency. In the last episode Kim cut a new do' for her only to have to do an emergency weave attachment when Shari had to do re-shoots for a movie she was filming. Kim proved why she is the weaveologist to the stars because fried, dyed and laid that ish to the side!


The episode rounded out with Jazz interviewing guys for dates with Kim and they even surprised Kim with a blind date with a cutie pie.


I <3 this show because the stylist are like every other stylist I have ever met whether ratchet or hoity toity they bring the dramz and don't care who is sitting in their chair when they do.

Money Woes the Basket Ball Wives Edition

TMZ is reporting that former Basketball Wife Jennifer Williams is in the process of having her 2006 Bentley repossessed. Per the court documents The Toyota Motor Credit Corporation of Syosset, NY filed a lawsuit against Williams, alleging that she stopped making payments on the Bentley in 2009 and that they want the court to order that Williams return the car and pay the entire balance owed of $92,310.


Williams rep had this to say "Jennifer hasn't been served documents in reference to this lawsuit. Anything related to community property acquired during the marriage, such as the car, is an issue that is currently being addressed in her divorce proceedings."
Something in this story smells fishy.. a used 2006 Bentley is worth 92k? I’m sure Evelyn and Nia Crooks are somewhere giggling really hard right now…..

Dumb @SS of the Day!

The Award Goes to........Siohvaughn Wade

Siohvaughn Wade was arrested Saturday on two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest.


According to the police report, D. Wade's sister was scheduled to pick up the children (boys 10 and 5) to take them to the airport to fly home to their father for fathers day. After arriving at Siohvaughn’s house and not receiving an answer at the door D. Wade's sister called the local police to assist her in retrieving the children. Once the police arrived Siohvaughn attempted to leave the house without the children and was arrested.
D. Wade has since filed an emergency injunction to have her visitation revoked. The pair went through a bitter divorce in 2010 and D. Wade was awarded custody in 2011.

SMH at her right now! He already has custody of her children and she is going to act crazy and give him an excuse to have them revoke her visitation....She needs to get Iyanla Vanzant on the line and see if she can get her head right before she loses those kids for good...

It Just Got Ugly....

Lil Kim gave her take on the beef between Chris Brown and Drake and in true Lil Kim fashion she didn’t mince her words:

I mean, people are so hard on Chris (Brown). He made a mistake, he owned up to it, and he and Rihanna have moved on with their lives. But since that incident it’s so easy to blame Chris. What I know about Drake is he is bitch-made.


Meaning he’s an instigator, and a p*ssy. He had no issue stepping to Lil Kim, I’m like five feet tall.


But he didn’t try stepping to Chris, a man, because he’s simply a coward. At the end of the day, you don’t gotta be a tough guy to be a rapper, but don’t dress up in Gangsta Drag when you a bitch.


Drake’s a bottom – y’all know what I mean when I say that.

And the award goes to.......





Adidas...and all the Marketing/Sales/Product Directors who were in the meeting when this design was pitched.

When your market is predominantly young urban males who are major consumers of your products you would think that someone would have raised the red flag that attaching shackles or cuffs to a pair of sneakers probably wouldn't be a good idea....guess not

I'm not saying its racist but I do think it was culturally insensitive not to mention just plain dumb @ss. In this day and age with social media's power, companies need to keep a closer eye on what can be considered offensive especially if your target market falls into those who might be most offended.....

Addidas has released a press release addressing the controversy:

"The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott's outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery," the statement said. "We apologize if people are offended by the design and we are withdrawing our plans to make them available in the marketplace."

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta

Episode 1 debuted tonight and it is ratchetness at it's best! Set in Atl these ladies are getting it all the way live.

Mama Dee is Lil Scrappy’s mother and a former drug dealing pimp…yeah a pimp
Mama Dee = Frankie+Mama Jones x10 which equals A LOT of crazy. In her own words “I am the QUEEN and I am not giving up my throne” well alrighty then….

Erica is Lil Scrappy’s baby mama and she took him back after he dumped her for rapper Diamond and then Diamond dumped him for Soulja Boy….Erica is clearly a Ride or die chick, but she has issues fully showing her love to Lil Scrappy because she doesn’t believe that he would be with her if Diamond hadn’t broken his heart.

Mimi is Stevie J's baby mother and the tension is centered around her trying to navigate their relationship as Stevie is not ready to commit to her (they have been together on and off for15 yrs) and yes this is the same Stevie J who was engaged to E-V-E a couple of years back. I was puzzled at how hard she is hanging on to Stevie J. especially when he does and has cheated on her, but I guess love (and a good child support check) is blind and it will take over your mind....

Joseline is a former stripper and aspiring Latina singer/rapper and Stevie J's protégé. It looks to me like she is more than just an artist, and she contributes to the issues Stevie J has with Mimi. She leaves me puzzled with her overt femininity coupled with her dragtastical demeanor…

K. Michelle is a R&B singer who has had some success but is alleging that her former manager/boyfriend abused her and that he used her 2 million dollar recording budget to finance an extravagant lifestyle...

Karlie is also a singer and aspiring actress and is the catalyst to the fight between Mimi/Stevie/Joseline because at a party for K. Michelle's birthday she unknowingly compliments Joseline and Stevie J’s relationship not knowing that Mimi is claiming Stevie J as her own….

There is so much drama and bad fashion in this show that I don’t even know where to start! From Mama Dee the former pimp trying to explain to Erica how she should express her love to K. Michelle’s crying and unfortunate wig and wardrobe choices (She wore a sheer lace illusion onesie with what my friend described as a pair of shoes with bad yaki tied around her ankle). Then there is Mimi the dowdy facing off against Joseline a grad student from RuPaul’s DragU for Stevie J’s affections.

This show is ratchetness and I <3 it!

This Just In...

Meek Mill has broken his silence regarding the fight last week in club W.i.P. that left a the club littered in glass and plenty of people needing stitches.

In an interview with XXL Mill gave his take on the situation:

“Chris and Drake, them two was there but its other people that be around that take shit to the next      level,” “Things just happen in the club. I seen girls in there throwing bottles, all types of shit. All types of people. I never seen Chris Brown or Drake throw a bottle and I was there.”


When XXL asked Meek if he threw a bottle during the melee, the Philadelphia MC offered two words:

“F@ck no.”

“What [Brown] tweeted was just that me and Meek Mill ain’t got no problem,” Meek told XXL. “I talked to him immediately after that, on the phone afterwards, like immediately, like, ‘There’s nothing there, this-that-and-the-third.’
“Chris Brown be in clubs,” the Philly MC added. “He be around situations like this. Things get out of hand that don’t mean it’s out of hand with me and him or whoever, not even him and Drake.”

Where is Johnnie Cochran?

It sounds like Meek Mill needs one of those "If the glove don't fit you must acquit" lawyers.... his story doesn't even sound plausible he may want to start getting his bail $ together cause the police are looking to arrest someone and it might just be him.......

Some random chicks in the VIP section decided to go fight club?

VIP Section+Loubo's + Herve Leger Dress= Going home with a rapper not throwing bottles at rappers......

Reality Rewind-I Watch So You Don't Have Too!

Part II of Oprah's interview with 50 cent. Once again Oprah proved why she is the queen of the interview!

50 shed light on his upbringing and his rap beefs. He mediates, reads The Secret and believes he is an 8 out of 10 in the father category. 50 comes across as intelligent, soft spoken and a savvy businessman. His charity is committed to feeding 1billion hungry people around the world as part of his Street Kings promotion.

Towards the end of the interview Oprah was able to coerce his grandmother onto the couch. She gave insight into what 50 was like as a kid (he was not allowed to curse in her home) and what her dreams were for him. She has bought his records but never listened to any of the music because she wanted him to get the sale. LOL.

Click here to check out the full interview.

The saga continues on the RHONJ..... The ladies are back from Jamie and Rich's wedding and yet another story with Teresa is out. 

Jacqueline confronts Teresa about contacting Danielle Staub in an effort to expose Melissa. This episode marked the end of the Teresa and Jacqueline love fest. The sh@t officially hit the fan when Caroline walks in while Teresa and Jacqueline are having a heated discussion and it went south from there. They rehashed the cookbook fiasco, Teresa's belief that Melissa is jealous of her and that Kathy is full of it.

SMH..... I just can't figure either of these women out...Teresa is either a ditz or a Mensa candidate because she manages to talk out of both sides of her mouth and then miraculously forget what she said 2 minutes before.  Jacqueline is looking like she is headed for a breakdown because she can't understand what is going on with her "friend" Teresa.

Side Eye...Shaunie O'Neal

In the immortal words of Shaun Carter-Hova-Blue Ivy's Daddy-Jay-Z "We Don't Believe You.. You Need More People!"

Word on the curb is that Ms. O'Neal was "Shocked" to learn that 3 of her castmates from the show had been fired........Isn't this the same person who was saying that if she had her way 3 of her castmates would be cut immediately? Well 3 of them were so what is she "shocked" about? And yeah Shaunie is one of the executive producers on the show.

I have zero problem with someone doing what is best for those tv ratings but please don't pretend like you have no idea or say on what goes on behind the scenes. Ms. O'Neal gets a hard side eye for this one!

Wedding Bells-Meagan Good

It's official he put a ring on it! Meagan Good married her fiance DeVon Franklin this weekend.

Congrats to Meagan and her Boo! See some of the wedding twitpics below:

Rodney King was found dead at the bottom of a family swimming pool Sunday morning. He was 47 years old. King was the center of the LA riots after footage of him being beaten was broadcasted nationally and the police officers in the film were acquitted.


RIP Rodney.......

Basketball Wives Cast Members Fired

Word on the curb is that Shaunie and Shed Media are going to be making some shocking cuts to the cast of next seasons show. TMZ is reporting that Jennifer Williams, Kesha Nichols and Royce Reed will be getting the axe.

Jennifer is getting the axe because of her lawsuit against Nia Crooks
Kesha apparently doesn't have enough drama in her life
Royce is on the outs with a number of the cast members and still has a gag order against her regarding her basketball playing baby daddy

Am I the only one thinking that Shaunie is a fraud right now? So lets look at the line up left on this show:

Tammi the Drunk Bully
Evelyn the Table Hopping Brawler
Suzy the Instigator
Kenya the Crazy Eye
Shaunie the Puppet Master

We are supposed to believe that they are moving in a more peaceful balanced direction? Shaunie and Shed Media got rid of two of the cast members who were either physically assaulted or extremely bullied this season.

Don't know about you but I am tired of this show and I barely watched this season and I definitely won't be watching any of next season.

I'm Sexy and I Know It..........

Susanne Eman who is 800 lbs and eating to break the world record of "Fattest Woman In the World" is set to marry her fiance Parker Clack. 
Clack who is slender is a chef and says that their relationship is a match made in heaven because she loved to eat and he loves to cook.

Source

 

"Susanne, 33, gorges on about 30,000 calories a day in her pursuit to break the 1,200-pound mark and she doesn’t plan to stop there, setting an ultimate goal of 1,600 scale-crushing pounds. Meanwhile, she says that she exercises every day to keep her muscles in shape and is vigilant about checking her blood pressure.

“She’s taken up swimming since we met,” adds skinny Parker, who admits being concerned about his fiancee’s health. “We love to swim together.”

Seamstress Judy Goff has created a gargantuan gown, using 45 feet of fabric to fit around Susanne’s 107-inch waist. The bride had just a couple of stipulations, that the gown be sleeveless for the summer wedding and off-white."

Hey if he likes it I love it....Don't let anyone tell you that there isn't someone out here for you!

Get Your Bail Money Ready

Shellie Zimmerman wife of George Zimmerman the man who shot and killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin was arrested Tuesday on one count of perjury. Zimmerman is accused of misleading the court about their finances during her husband bail bond hearing. The couple failed to disclose that they raised more than 135k from their website. 


Zimmerman was arrested and quickly released on a $1,000 bound.


SMH at these people...why don't they realize that if there is one thing you can't hide in this country is $...especially when your husband is accused of shooting and killing someone.

Usher is training for his role as Sugar Ray Leonard in the upcoming biopic about the boxer Roberto Duran. This movie also stars Robert De Niro and  Gael Garcia Bernal.

In an interview with the UK Independent Usher had this to say about the role:

 "It was proper casting," "I was selected. They approached me to do it. And all I had to was consider it."


When asked if he was intimidated at being in a movie with De Niro and Bernal Usher's response was:
 "Not at all," he says, "not at all. There's a respect for both parties. I've seen Oscar winners come out of left field."
"I'm just saying Jennifer Hudson,"  "I'm not even saying..." he begins. "You asked me, is it OK to assume that an actor who doesn't have as much skill can't out-act an actor who is well-decorated? And what I'm saying is, if you take a moment to just analyse... No," Usher decides, "I'm not intimidated in any way. Because there's a shared passion and respect among all of us, and it's the type of script that will allow all of us to shine.

So what he is saying is "Yup I got this I'm gonna go in there and win an Oscar"

Just cause Jen Hudson made it look easy doesn't mean it is. Ask Beyonce about that or better yet ask a real trained actor like Leonardo DiCaprio, Idris Elba, Don Cheadle....

Reality Rewind: I Watch So You Don't Have Too!

BasketBall Wives Reunion Part II
Part II of the reunion show debuted last night and if you watched Part I you already know this was more spinning and rewriting of history.

Tammi is still claiming that she didn't bully Kesha; Evelyn is pleading Nia's case cause you should be forgiven for slapping your ex-friend and Suzie is claiming that she didn't do her usual motor mouth of everyone's business.

Here's the question though, where did they get all this family friendly girl bonding moments from? because we did NOT see any of this during the actually season.

Ugh... I'm just so tired of these women!

Kudos to Shaunie and Shed Media for attempting to spin this dramatastical train wreck into something else but I have to say its too little too late...

Reality Rewind: I Watch So You Don't Have To!

Oprah Winfrey managed to hit the ball out of the park with her two "Next Chapter" interviews last night. First up was Michael Jackson's daughter Paris. She gave us a little insight into her fathers world and the fact that he was just a normal dad around the house. It was clear that Paris is comfortable in her own skin and trying to adjust to being raised by her grandmother instead of her famous father. Paris is passionate about acting instead of singing and has her first feature roll in the movie Lundon's Bridge and the Three Kings. Click Here to see excepts from the show.


Part two of the show featured 50 Cent. This was the first meeting between 50 and Mama O and it wasn't 15 minutes before Mama O had 50 looking like he wanted to wipe away a tear. She asked him all the questions that inquiring minds wanted to know: 

1. Does he really have a dog named Oprah?
1. Yes (she has a twitter page) and a cat named Gayle (and yes the real Gayle was in attendance)
2. Does he hate Oprah?
1. No he was hurt that Oprah didn't like the lyrics of most of the rap songs out so his response was "Why hate someone who does not even know who I am, if we cant be friends than at least we can be enemies.

What I found interesting was that 50 had the interview in his grandparents house instead of the estate that he owns in Connecticut. This interview was a good look for 50 and I think it will help people to understand him better. Part 2 comes on next week at 9pm on OWN.

RHONJ


The ladies in Jersey were prepped primed and hatted for Jamie and Rich's commitment ceremony. While in Chicago getting ready for the wedding Teresa's latest article about her $ woes hit the front page of a magazine and as usual she had to bring up Melissa, Kathy and Caroline....


I am always amazed at Teresa's ability to rationalize the stuff that she says in print. I can't figure out if she is as ditzy as she seems or if she is just generally clueless.

The IRS Doesn't Play...Lauren Baby Pay Your Taxes

R&B Songstress Lauren Hill has gotten into a bit of trouble with the Taxman recently. Hill is scheduled to appear in court this month to answer for charges of  3 years of unfiled taxes. 

Hill took to her Tumblr page to explain  why she hasn't paid her taxes. Peep the excerpt below:

“For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground. I did this in order to build a community of people, like-minded in their desire for freedom and the right to pursue their goals and lives without being manipulated and controlled by a media protected military industrial complex with a completely different agenda. Having put the lives and needs of other people before my own for multiple years, and having made hundreds of millions of dollars for certain institutions, under complex and sometimes severe circumstances, I began to require growth and more equitable treatment, but was met with resistance. I entered into my craft full of optimism (which I still possess), but immediately saw the suppressive force with which the system attempts to maintain it’s control over a given paradigm. I’ve seen people promote addiction, use sabotage, black listing, media bullying and any other coercion technique they could, to prevent artists from knowing their true value, or exercising their full power. These devices of control, no matter how well intentioned (or not), can have a devastating outcome on the lives of people, especially creative types who must grow and exist within a certain environment and according to a certain pace, in order to live and create optimally.
I conveyed all of this when questioned as to why I did not file taxes during this time period. Obviously, the danger I faced was not accepted as reasonable grounds for deferring my tax payments, as authorities, who despite being told all of this, still chose to pursue action against me, as opposed to finding an alternative solution.
My intention has always been to get this situation rectified. When I was working consistently without being affected by the interferences mentioned above, I filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
As this, and other areas of issue are resolved and set straight, I am able to get back to doing what I should be doing, the way it should be done. This is part of that process. To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.”

I <3 Lauren Hill but clearly this music industry thang isn't for everybody!
