JENNIFER WILLIAMS IS IN TROUBLE WITH VH1

Poor Jennifer Williams. On top of being socked in the head, slapped, and insulted, now she's being sued for opening up her mouth to the media about it all. If you guys recall last week I warned about how these VH1 checks were feeding a lot of mouths. They can't afford to have Jennifer talking all ratchet about the show that is making them millions. Is it right??? probably not, but we'll see how this enfolds. Below is a quote from TMZ explaining just what VH1's concerns are. The funny thing is nobody is the least bit concerned that someone could have possibly been hurt through the bottle throwing, purse popping incidents. Jennifer, I don't think it's looking  very good for you next season...  I hope you have secured a new gig... Your thoughts???


"Now sources tell TMZ producers are ready to take their own legal action after Williams went on a media rampage and blasted “BB Wives” alleging the show portrays African-American women negatively.

According to our sources, producers feel Williams’ show-bashing is in violation of her contract which forbids cast members from doing any media appearances or press without approval, or speaking negatively about the show. We’re told they feel she is “ruining the brand” they worked so hard to build."

OPRAH WINFREY TREATS HOME LESS GUY TO A MEAL

Essence.com reported earlier this week that Oprah Winfrey treated a home less guy to dinner, and a wad of money. Talk about a good deed. Made me smile.

Oprah Winfrey is no stranger to giving back. She has famously handed out cars, jewelry and trips to Australia for lucky audience members. Her good deeds continue, as she and four OWN executives recently treated a homeless man to dinner at upscale Los Angles restaurant Scarpetta.

The man introduced himself as Eddie and Oprah responded, "God bless you, Eddie," as one of her executives handed him a wad of cash. The staff of the restaurant then brought him a "feast."

FULL EPISODE OF VH1'S BEHIND THE MUSIC WITH BRANDY NORWOOD

Thought this was well put together, and we really got a chance to see the real Brandy, which I felt I had lost touch with in recent years. Alot of it though is that Brandy really stop being genuine with the sound of her music, almost as if she had lost herself. I hope she gets it back with the new album. Great artist of our time.

EVELYN LOZADA MAY BE GETTING BANNED.... THOUGHTS???

Are they really gonna succeed in getting Evelyn Lozada off T.V when she's helping a lot of VH1 executives cash a lot of checks?. According to sources VH1 watchers have decided to protest the debut show of Evelyn Lozada and Ocho Cinco's upcoming show because they’re quite through with her stank attitude and terrible treatment of Jennifer Williams.

Anyway, an online petition was started, encouraging people to boycott the new show in an effort to bring Evelyn down.A Change.org user, Alex M, described the petition:

“Evelyn Lozada is a bully. The violence on ‘Basketball Wives’ is horrible and disgraceful,” Alex wrote in the petition, clarifying that despite the wording this is not some unwarranted action. “This is not a hate petition against Eveyln Lozada. We simply will not support violence. It hurts to see violence amongst women on television for entertainment purposes. It is not OK for women to hit each other on TV.”

Let me know if you will be signing... Again, I'm not always agreeable with a lot of things that Evelyn has done on the show, but I do think that it is, and will always be the responsibility of parents to scrutinize what your children are watching, and how they are processing the world. I grew up in a time where there were Evelyn's all over my Junior High school, but it was my mom's responsibility on who I really turned out to be as a person. Let me know what are your thoughts???

MASE COMES BACK TO THE RAP GAME?????

I am utterly confused on what Mase is doing back in the rap game. I only say that not because I don't believe you can be a Christian and do music, but for the past few months as I watched Mase progress in his ministry in Atlanta as a Pastor he preached about not being of the world so affirmatively. What can I say, I guess he's had a change of heart. Could this have anything to do with the recent tax issues that surfaced just last week?????

Check out the interview below of Mase calling into Flex's show, discussing how his return. I don't see any "praise the lords" or "to God be the glory's" . Hope it works out.

Welcome back, Ma$e. You might have noticed Wale’s “Slight Work” remix featured the Harlem rapper with a  show-stealing comeback verse. In a phone call with Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex, he chopped it up with Murda Ma$e about his anticipated return to hip-hop. It’s surprising to hear that last Friday (April 20) marked 13 years since he called into Flex’s radio show. Here, the two joked about Ma$e’s revival, how he ended up on the “Slight Work" remix, his current relationship with Diddy, and more. Head over to In Flex We Trust for the full interview.
On his comeback:

“You know, Flex. To keep it 100 with you, nobody’s got more chances like I got. I think meant to do it. That’s the conclusion I came to, I just meant to do it. I keep throwing it away, it keep coming back to me. It must be meant."

On how he jumped on the "Slight Work" remix:

"I think it was French. A lot of love that got out to French. I don’t know why he was repping me so strong. He just showed me Harlem love. He showed me Harlem love and he ain’t even from Harlem. I was on a “New York Minute” with him and Kiss. And after that, we just in the studio, we totally opposed. He just showed me wild love. I rock with who rock with me. He called Wale one time, and Wale was like, 'Come to the studio.' I was in Atlanta and then I just came through and they were just blowing so hard in the studio. Smoking all loud, they kept laughing at me, I couldn’t even get my verse out. I came back the next day, 'Yo, I’m ready now.' He was like, 'You ready?' And Diddy got on it and everybody got on it and that’s pretty much how it went."

On his relationship with Diddy:

"We just surprised each other. To this day, I always tell people I don’t have any issues with him. I think a lot of times we get on the other side of each other because of history. He’s one of the biggest contributors that has given to the church. We probably cooler than I thought."

PILAR SANDERS JUMPS DEION SANDERS!!!

What the hell, what the hell!!! Why won't Pilar bow out of this one, as a mother. I mean fighting, and going back and forth with Deon Sanders is getting ridiculous. Mug shots surfaced yesterday after what seemed like a pretty big altercation with former husband Deion Sanders. Internet posts were rampant as people posted that Pilar had tried to jump Deion!!!   "She was locked up yesterday evening after she showed up at Deion’s home with one of her friends and jumped him in front of their two sons.  With too much to lose, Deion rushed to put his story out first by tweeting a photo of himself and his kids filling out police reports just moments after the incident happened."

Later that night, Deion’s daughter Deiondra tweeted Pilar’s mugshot to her followers to prove that earlier reports that stated Pilar was in the hospital were false.

I'm really over the whole thing. This is getting ready to be one of those movies where someone really gets hurt. You are way to classy and beautiful for this Pilar... Just stop!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK JENNIFER WILLIAMS COMMENTS ON SLAPPING ON BASKETBALL WIVES MIAMI

Jennifer Williams comments on her blog after last week's slapping incident.... What do you think.

And the BS continues… I honestly could not stomach to watch last week’s episode. I had lived through the craziness and to relive it was just too much for me.  But I would like to clarify a few things. First up, I never had an issue with “the assistant” up until that day.  At one point, we were good friends. We went out together, went to dinner, stayed at each other’s houses and shared plenty of good times and laughs.  There had been some incidents leading up to why I started pulling away from the friendship but I don’t feel the need to blast that information.  However, the most important reason why I eased up on the friendship is because she started working for someone who refers to themselves as my “enemy.” To me being good friends would just cause the situation to be messy so I rather fall back.  No love lost and I like I said, I didn’t have any issue with her until she put her hands on me.

Ok now let’s get to the foolery… AGAIN!!! I just find it so unfortunate someone I once called a friend has no respect for me and felt the need to violent me physically.  So of course after you completely disrespect me by putting your hands on me, my mouth is going to get reckless.  I am not happy for the things I said to her but I was caught off guard and left in a vulnerable state.  The 2-bedroom apartment comment got taken way out of context.  I live in a 2-bedroom apartment so why would I look down on her for that.  My point was don’t act like I lived with you when you live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a roommate.  There would be no room for me and all my stuff that barely fits in my 2-bedroom apartment in NJ.  The whole attack against me was pointless.  Okay, we aren’t friends no need to fight about it let’s all be mature adults and move on.  People come into your life for a reason, season or a lifetime.  I wish it didn’t have to be this way, it makes me sad but that is life.

I did what I felt was right by filing a police report and having my attorneys handling the situation. I am an entrepreneur and a mature adult. Who fights at this age?  I was taught to let the authorities handle criminals.  Having graduated with a degree in Political Science and a concentration in Pre-Law, I am fully aware of my legal rights and the justice system.  If you put your hands on someone, there will be repercussions. End of story…

For the record, I have changed. I am striving to be an independent woman and I am building a future for myself. I have zero time or tolerance for BS. I am not sitting around waiting for a man to take care of me.  Lucid is 100% mine; I built it from the ground up. No licensing deal or I am a paid spokes model.  I don’t sit around and knock what my cast mates are trying to do business wise.  Be a leader and not a follower, no one was thinking about the cosmetic industry until way after Lucid.  At the end of the day, I find it all unfortunate that I am the constant topic when it comes to hate and no one can uplift one another.  Fame has never been a weakness of mine but by watching this show I can’t say the same for all the ladies.  I just hope everyone can recognize what is really important in this life because Basketball Wives will not always be the HOT thing… Then what???

Special thank you to my legal team, Corey Boddie, Sanford Rubenstein and Sabrina Puglisi also my publicist, Elizabeth Traub and my manager, Deanna Morales. And thank you to all my family and friends who have been so supportive of me during all this craziness. I cannot forget my loyal viewers, much love.

“Many walk in and out of our lives, but only those who leave footprints really matter.”- Unknown

Peace and blessings,

I hear you Jennifer, but next time just stand up out of your seat when someone is getting ready to assault you.

MASE

I just had an incredible conversation about Mason Betha AKA Mase last night. I recalled the days when he was my school mate at Suny Purchase, and I remembered how he was back then. I also recalled reading his book a few years back and how he had stated people were after him after the wake of Biggie Small's death. That's still up for interpretation but none the less Mase became a preacher. Shortly after that he came out with an album. Not sure whats going on with his taxes but I wish him all the best. Below TMZ reports on the latest situation with Mase, lets see how he gets out of this one.

According to documents filed in Florida by the IRS, Ma$e owes a total of 124,774.85 in back taxes ... stemming from the years 2000, 2001 and 2004.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Ma$e retired from the music business in 1999 after saying he got a "calling from God." After a turn with the ministry, Ma$e returned with an album in (you guessed it) 2004.

A call to Ma$e's rep was not returned.

LA LA ANTHONY INTERVIEWED IN NEW YORK POST



Check out the latest interview with La La Anthony and New York Post, as she talks home, Melo, and life.

What is your decorating style?

I love contemporary a lot, 100 percent. I like it even more when it has an edge to it. I also love lots of color. And as much as I’d like to say I’m good at decorating, I’m really not. I brought my decorator in from LA. She knows my style so well.

What has it been like adjusting to New York?

In the beginning it was overwhelming, but Carmelo and I were both born in New York, so our roots are here. It’s really been amazing to come back and feel so welcomed by all the fans. We also have a home in LA, so we feel like we have a great life by being in both worlds: fast-paced New York and slower-speed LA.

What is the best and worst part of living in New York compared to LA?

In LA, you’re so used to jumping in your car. There’s a valet service wherever you go.

Alternatively, driving in New York can be very stressful. But I love how everything and anything you need is always at your fingertips.

How did you find this building, and what do you like about living here?

We hired a Realtor who helped us find our place. I love the super-high ceilings and ultra-modern feel. It’s a duplex, and our bedroom is upstairs, which makes it very private.

There are countless restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen, which means Carmelo and I can usually walk to our favorite ones. It’s also easy for me to get to meetings and always feel like I will be close to my son.

How much input has Carmelo had in the design of your home or did you manage the project yourself?

Believe it or not, he has more input and gets more involved than I do. He was really into working with the decorator, Alicia Darby, who also decorated our home in LA.

Have you recently purchased any artwork? What is your favorite piece?

This past Christmas, we purchased a huge, modern picture of my husband from the artist Paul Gerben, whose studio is located in SoHo. It was great to be directly in touch with the artist himself, which enabled us to create this fantastic, very large and abstract piece that we love.

What is your entertaining philosophy?

It depends on the mood I’m in. I’m a chicken wings kind of girl, and I love party favors. Sometimes, the fun stuff is getting everyone in a kitchen and cooking together, although to be honest, I’m not really a fan of cooking myself. I’d rather hang a picture.

What players and celeb friends have been over?

We love to entertain. Of course, many of Carmelo’s teammates from the Knicks have been over, and my friends Kelly Rowland and Serena Williams have dropped in.

We are in a really convenient location, so our friends just seem to call and stop by, which I love.

Was your closet customized and how do you organize it?

Yes, the Container Store actually came in and did my entire closet. I try to stay on top of it and not just throw things on the floor after I wear it. The best way is to stay organized as you go. Otherwise, at the end of the week, it looks like a war zone.

How many pairs of shoes do you have? Which designers?

I love shoes. I have over 100 pairs, everything from Louboutin, Chanel, Giuseppe, Nikes — a huge range.

What are your storage secrets?

The good thing is I’m not a hoarder, so when I’m done with something I’ll donate it or give it away.

What can’t you live without in your apartment?

I have a red leather sofa that was at our house in Denver. It’s made by Fendi Casa, and it’s glamorous and luxurious yet very comfortable. It was something that I had to have and I just could not leave it behind.

What is your favorite part of your home and why?

I love my bedroom. It’s where I lay my head and the place I go to get away from it all.

BTS: Making of "Where Have You Been"

OPEN LETTER TO VIEWERS FROM ROYCE REED FROM BASKETBALL WIVES MIAMI....

Royce do as you please... but I think once a liar always a liar. I wish Dezmon would have told you the truth from the beginning before you went all crazy on twitter on his baby mamma. I wish you would have accessed the situation honestly before you had given any response. I wish you would not have written us a letter, because the truth is baby girl you have to deal with this, not your fans. Your personnel life should remain as such and you should make no apologies about doing so. Will Dezmon lie again??? maybe so... Do I suspect you don't want to leave ... yes... Will you leave??? no..... I wish you the best Royce!

 

 

 

After his first appearance on Basketball Wives, Royce Reed‘s boyfriend Dezmon Briscoe shot out front and center because of how perfect he and Royce seemed together, but sadly, they’re actually having some issues this week. Briscoe’s ex-girlfriend (with whom he has a son) just released some “freaky” texts he allegedly sent her as recently as March, and it turns out, they were all real. Last night on Twitter, Dezmon owned up to sending the texts, though he says he never acted on any of them. He tweeted “baby mama wanna be messy so I’ll clean it up. I sent the messages she posted …To be on her good side because she has my son.” He also added “I could of handled the situation better. I’m still wrong and I wanna apologize to @Roycelr because she don’t deserve that. Love you.” Today, Royce wrote to us to reveal what really happened and how she’s coping.
OK HERE WE GO!!! AGAIN, THIS IS MY BLOG AND I SAY WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT AND HOW I WANT. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT DON’T READ IT.
When I was first asked to blog about what just happened in my life, I shunned it. Now, I realize that due to my life being an open book and my “relationship” being on national TV, I should.
One thing a lot of you don’t know about me is I’m a 100% committed to anything I put my name on. In a relationship comes humility. When I decided to do this show I vowed to be open, and honest about all aspects of my life that I could. I’m human! I don’t portray myself to be anyone I am not. I go to the grocery store in sweats and sneakers like everyone else. Because I’m on TV doesn’t mean I don’t hurt or that I don’t go through the same trials and tribulations as everyone else. We, Reality Stars, are put in a very vulnerable position when we sign up for these shows. No matter what we go through, the good, the bad, the ugly, when we walk outside we get recognized and judged. I’m not going to put on a front like I’m okay. My heart hurts.

Do I think Dezmon loves me? Yes! Do I think what he did was wrong? Absolutely. Are we done…forever? Honestly, I don’t know. Readers can say I’m dumb if I go back, but with relationships come mistakes. I was lied to and lesson learned…I entertained it on Twitter. I let the drama get to me despite being told to ignore it. That was my immaturity in this experience coming out. I admit that. Yes, I’m embarrassed, humiliated and broken. But I’m strong. Regardless of what happens I will be okay. Do I love him? Yes. Is that enough to stay? At this point, no. I entertained the mother of his son because I trusted what I was told and I stood by him as I should have. Was I the fool? Yep! Do some find it funny that I have egg on my face? Sadly yes, but that means they are lacking happiness and love in their own lives hence them basking in another person’s hurt. Ignorance is bliss but it’s also dangerous.
As far as the logistics go…”At the end of the day” (Jen voice) he will not be with her. So the rant she went on and my responses change nothing for her life. Not only do I look like a fool in love, but she looks like a bitter, jealous and angry “Baby Momma.” That’s worse. Fact is, they were never an item. They were never a couple. But for just under a year, she has been angry that he has been with me. Her twitter name was @dezbriscoejrmom…That was her identity. If you go thru her page (she obviously wanted followers and a platform, so I’m giving it to her) you will see how angry she was that we were together. She spoke about the cruise we went on, him saying he loved me, wanted to marry me, etc. If she didn’t care, why talk about it? If you didn’t watch the show, why do you know every minute of our scenes as if you were commentating? I’m sure she wonders why she was never “the one” to marry but just “the one” to do before he met me. I can’t imagine what Dezmon is feeling right now because, again, I was with my son’s father for four years despite the drama we are going through. So I can’t imagine having a child by someone who never claimed me or never had me front and center at some point. My son puts a smile on my face everyday so no matter what happens I know as long as I’m a good mother that in itself completes me when he wipes my tears, I clean his boo boos, and I get that hug and kiss.


Open letter to Christina…
Christina,
Do you feel better about yourself? Denying a man his child through texts (why didn’t you post those?) because he is with someone else. Stating in direct message he will never see his son, or that I will never meet him, that you’re going to file for custody when you’ve had several court order that had to be given to you for you to “let” him see his child never looks good to a judge. Trust me! When you have proof on your side you have nothing to worry about. That’s why I can be worry free. You on the other hand, shouldn’t be. The position you just put yourself in, I hurt for you as a mother because you have pretty much signed away your son. I dread that court date for you. I tried to speak to you respectfully on DM and you just “didn’t get it.” I tried to HELP you. But your jealousy got the best of you. Now you’re asking for an apology? For what? For ruining a relationship you were jealous of because he didn’t want you? You still lost. I feel sorry for you.
To my readers,
Thank you for the outpouring of love. To the hecklers, what life have you lived to find this funny? It’s so sad that we now live in a world where love is frowned upon and marriage is no longer taken as a life long vow. We live in a world where it’s funny to see someone hurt and heartbroken. I’m a hopeless romantic and I’d rather be a fool that’s happily in love than a depressed soul that has no heart. Will Dezmon and I work things out? I don’t know. Up until 4 AM I’ve heard tears, apologies, and I’ve seen humility. Maybe this is a mistake that he needed to learn from. Maybe this is a mistake that caused him to really realize what he had. Yes, he sent them but no, it didn’t happen. I’d be dumb to base the status of my relationship based on my followers who have never seen us outside of a camera and TV show vs. what I’ve heard from HIM, his MOTHER, his AUNT, his FRIENDS, his TEAMMATES, and even MY MOTHER AND FATHER. You will see some emotional moments between my dad and I but for the first time ever, he believed this man loved me. Coming from someone married 41 plus years I believe that, and like he told me last night, forgiveness comes when proof of love is given by actions not just by words. Its up to me whether it actions are enough to walk thru the storm.
There you go! Open, honest, bare and undisguised! That means REAL! I’m Outtie!

JENNIFER WILLIAMS MAY GET THE BOOT!

I knew once Jennifer tried to file a lawsuit for this face slap that the ladies would rally against her returning next season. Jennifer sweetie, you signed up for this. The show is based on drama, didn't you see what happened to the girl last season for trying to press charges against Tami Roman? What was her name again... Meeka Liar Claxton lololol. No but seriously, why are you going through with this? I mean I get it, a face slap is very humiliating, insulting, but why didn't you haul a chair, and slap her back. You didn't have to worry about the fact that you couldn't fight because really they were going to separate you guys anyway. Come on Jen, play the game.... I hear you on this is a very negative portrayal of Black woman on televsion, but we can have a press conference later, you should always defend yourself. Atleast get up when you see a slap coming. Here is what TMZ and VH1 is reporting below:
Several "Basketball Wives" are adamantly refusing to tape the big upcoming reunion show next month, TMZ has learned -- and it's all because of the face-slap lawsuit Jennifer Lawrence filed against Nia Crooks.

As we reported, Jennifer is suing Nia for assault and battery over a January 21st incident at a race track in Florida -- when Nia slapped Williams in the side of the head after a nuclear argument (below). Jennifer says she was injured badly during the attack.

But according to sources at VH1, the cast mates are convinced Jennifer's lawsuit was filed out of spite and desperation to dredge up drama around her character -- in the vain hope of securing a spot on the show next season. Our sources also think Jennifer's claim of emotional distress is BS because she never missed a day of shooting.

We're told several prominent cast members have vowed to shun her completely ... refusing to even speak to Jennifer -- and are threatening not to attend the reunion show early next month if she attends.

And there's this -- the contract signed by the "Wives" cast mates specifically states .... "Participant expressly assumes the risk of any physical or emotional injuries participant may suffer as a result of participant's participation in the project.""

DEZMON BRISCOE HAVEN'T YOU LEARNED FROM OTHER SEXTERS???

Dezmon Briscoe what were you thinking homie! You are dating semi- celebrity Royce Reed. Why are you texting your baby mamma, trying to sleep with her, texting other scaley wags, trying to sleep with them. All for what???? How ridiculous that this would come up now after Royce made a fool of herself Monday night on Basketball Wives, by showing a semi sex scene to viewers, like we really wanted to see it. Seemed like kind of a reach for ratings. It seemed the whole show Monday, was for ratings, and yeah we might still be watching but I wonder for how long. Royce please check your man boo, or dump him for not even realizing how quickly all this would get out in the long run and embarrass you. Ughhh.... Where's Charlemagne - (105.1 Breakfast Club segment -from the WHORE HALL OF FAME when you need him.

DICK CLARK DIES

Dick Clark -- famed TV producer and "New Year's Rockin' Eve" host -- died from a massive heart attack this morning ... TMZ has learned.

Clark's rep tells TMZ, the TV icon had been in St. John's hospital in L.A. after undergoing an outpatient procedure last night. Clark suffered the "massive" heart attack following the procedure. Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Clark was 82.

Clark's health had been on the decline since he suffered a significant stroke in 2004 -- forcing him to retire from his hosting gig at "New Year's Rockin' Eve," which he created in 1972. Ryan Sea crest took over in 2006. Dick has appeared on the show sporadically ever since. His final appearance was in 2011.

Dick Clark was iconic to me because of all the memories I shared with my mom and dad growing up bringing in the New Years festivities before I could go out on the town by own self in the later years. Dick Clark made me excited to be at home, even when I knew I would of much rather been in the streets- not so much my mom's plans but still. He graced us with a laugh, and cute humor that made us want to let the last year go with a bang. Thanks Dick. Rest In Peace.

SLAP GETS NIA CROOKS FROM BASKETBALL WIVES MIAMI IN TROUBLE

Good try at getting a starring role on the show girlie, but slapping some one's face can get you popped! or better yet locked up. Jennifer Williams is now suing Nia Crooks for giving her an open hand slap back on January 21on an episode of Basketball Wives Miami. I hope Evelyn Lozada doesn't try going at Jennifer again, before she's paying the same fees.

“Violence used against any person is wrong but when a woman hits another woman it sets a horrible example for young girls everywhere,” Williams told the Daily News.
“I choose to use the justice system to fight back,” she said in an exclusive interview.
The defendant, Nia Crooks, is a personal assistant to “Basketball Wives” co-star Evelyn Lozada. Crooks belted Williams while VH1 cameras were rolling Jan. 21 in the presidential suite of the Gulfstream Park racetrack in South Florida.
Williams, who lives in New Jersey, filed the suit in Manhattan Supreme Court because Crooks lives in East Harlem.
Williams claims she is still suffering from a whiplash-like neck injury and post traumatic stress stemming from the slap, which was seen in the episode that aired Monday.
“I was sitting at the conference room table and this girl starts arguing with me out of nowhere,” Williams recalled. “She’s not even on the show.”
Crooks makes a remark about slapping reality into Williams and cracks her in the face.
“I didn’t watch the video for a long time because I lived it,” she said. “It’s disturbing. It’s humiliating. I get anxiety just thinking about it.”
She added: “She hit me with her open hand on my cheek. I’ve never been hit in my life.”
Williams insists the incident was not scripted and the slap was the intentional act of Crooks alone.
The suit seeks unspecified monetary and punitive damages from Crooks. VH1 is not named as a defendant.
Crooks could not be reached for comment.

Basketball Wives is now an exhausting show. Not only is it immature most times, but half the time the show is being edited so horribly no one gets why these fights, or quarrels are starting. Clearly there has to be more for why Nia felt it necessary to slap Jennifer across the face. SMH.

RENEE GRAZIANO'S COUSIN IS PRODUCER ON VH1!

Well, well, well, what a coincidence, so Renee Graziano's from Mob Wives cousin is actually the executive producer on Mob Wives. Talk about in the circle. Below VH1 reports how Jennifer handled Junior being an informant to the police this season, and how it might have affected the programming of the show.

Mob Wives executive producer Jennifer Graziano was placed in a very delicate situation this year when she learned that her brother-in-law, Junior Pagan. who accepted a larger role on the show this season, turned out to be an FBI informant. Graziano says she should have realized something was up sooner because when she told him that being a regular cast member would “ruin him on the street,” his response was “I don’t care about that anymore. I want to be in it.”

Graziano tells the New York Post today that after she learned of Pagan’s involvement, she had the option to halt filming but she and Renee both chose not to. “VH1 called me right away and asked me if I wanted to shut it down,” she says. “I told them, ‘No, keep going.’ I would never shut down.” She does admit that because of the huge feeling of betrayal everyone in the family carries, she doesn’t like to talk about Junior, but she concludes by saying “He used to tell me that he was my brother. And, it turns out, he didn’t care about me — and he sure didn’t care about Renee.”

JADA PINKETT AND WILL SMITH SAY THEY ARE HAPPY

Nice to know there won't be any divorces for this couple any time soon. Jada reports on the rumors of them Will and her being separated, or going through a divorce all year long.

“Every year, a celebrity couple is on the radar. This year, unluckily, it’s us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it,” she told Gala France. “But Will and I know the truth. We are waiting peacefully for when the storm ends.”
“These rumors are completely untrue. I’m travelling a lot because of my work, as Will does. And the fact that I’m accompanying our daughter, Willow, on her trips, while Will spends time with our son, Jaden, doesn’t make things easier.”

“But our way of living hasn’t changed. Before the children, we were already away from each other quite often because of our work. In general, Will and I take two months of holiday, at the end of the year. Right after Thanksgiving, we shut down the curtain and nothing comes to bother our family life until January.”

EVA MARCILLE KNOWN AS EVA PIGFORD TO STAR IN OWN REALITY SHOW

Eva Marcille has a new reality show coming to Oxygen soon and the “America’s Next Top Model” season 3 winner is letting us know from the get-go that it will not be like those shows we love to hate on VH1 and Bravo.
Humor Mill recently caught up with the star to get details on her show which currently has the working title “Taking Hollywood,” starring her friends and business women, music manager Kelly Marie Dunn, Designer Nikki Chu, and actress Denyce Lawton, and here’s what she said we can expect.

“The thing about television is, a lot of things are produced and clearly you have to produce a show, but this type of a show, it gels so well with Reality TV because it’s really our lives and us as friends,” she said. “You see the glitz and glamor of the finished product of what Hollywood gives, but you never really see the true struggle. And I don’t mean those that have rich parents or have that big heiress legacy, but those that traveled from across the world, that moved to California, that decided this was gonna be where they made their mark.
“We have each other to help each other out, so it’s not like the wives clubs of basketball or of sports, but it’s the friendship club of life and I think all women can relate to that no matter what it is that you do.”

Since this isn’t Eva’s first time appearing on a reality TV show, she says there’s no way anything you’ll see her doing in this series will be just for the cameras.

“For myself, a lot of the world knows who I am so I have already an idea, so it’s only so much faking you can do and even if I tried, all of you guys would pull my card anyway. But this is what we do for a living. We’re not showing you a script on a screen. I’m showing you what I do when I wake up in the morning and try to go out and try to seek work and sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes it’s an epic failure and my friends help pick me up. [Denyce] has that same struggle and I think for us that are actually actors in the business it’s a little bit harder because there is this idea that you have…this preconceived notion that when you see I’m X, Y, and Z, then you watch the show you realize I’m not X, Y, or Z. I’m actually A, B, and C. It’s completely different moment so you get to see from what you thought something was to seeing the full spectrum of what life in entertainment really is.”

That aspect is what makes Eva appreciate reality TV, she says.

“The thing is — not to make this all a moment — is that it humanizes celebrities because you look at a celebrity and you realize it’s not a battery pack back there and they’re actually a person with blood and they need to eat everyday like everybody else and they’re human. So to stand around and take pictures for the next 3 hours is kind of like, tiring, but they don’t think about that. They’re like, ‘You’re a celebrity, do it.’ Now you can kind of see what a day in the life is and that we live the same life as you. We have to smile because if we didn’t we’re  a b—h and it’s like, okay, I just had gas. It gives you an inside look at the entertainment beyond the glitz.”

ATLANTA HOUSEWIVES DRAMA & BOBBI KRIS AS WHITNEY!

Happy Monday Blog Fans,

Lots of talk the beginning of this week about Atlanta Housewives Season 4 reunion. Even though this season was a sleeper for me, I hear there might be some interesting arguments on the show. Tune in next Sunday at 9P!

I also heard early this morning, that all salaries were released for all the ladies from Atlanta Housewives. All I can say is maybe I would cat fight, and bicker for their cash. Who knows....

1. NeNe Leakes - $750K per season, plus a $250K bonus for doing the reunion show
2. Kim - $600K per season plus a $150K bonus for doing the reunion show
3. Sheree - $550K per season plus a $150K bonus for doing the reunion show
4. Kandi - $450K per season plus a $100K bonus for doing the reunion show
5. Phaedra and Cynthia - $300K per season plus a $75K bonus for doing the reunion show
6. Marlo - $75K - she must be available for filming on request.
6. Peter (Cynthia's husband) - $75K - he must be available for filming on request.
7. Kroy and Apollo - $50K - must be available for filming on request.

I also heard the Bobbi Kristina, maybe trying her hand at becoming the star of the biopic about her mom Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I'm not too sure about this, but we shall see.

IS SHEREE WHITFIELD BEING FIRED FROM ATLANTA HOUSEWIVES???

Is Sheree Whitfield really fired from Atlanta Housewives? According to Media Takeout news this will definitely be confirmed after the reunion show. "And we're told that Sheree didn't take it too well. You see, the producers FLEW HER OUT to NY, with the other cast members to take part in the BRAVO UPFRONT PARTY, in NYC. But before the event, Bravo told her that she was fired. And word is that Sheree BURST INTO TEARS and started BEGGING to keep her job, saying that she NEEDED THE MONEY and everything."

Poor Sheree, she really tried to remain relevant this season, with all the premeditated gossiping, and stirring up of beef. Guess it did not work.

MARY J. BLIJE ..... BURGER KING IS MMMM GOOD....

"Real Burger, I'm talking about that real burger". What was Mary thinking with this commercial. Then again, a pay check sometimes goes a long way. I honestly don't think she thought recording a song for Burger King would cause this much back lash. However, recently Burger King decided to pull commercial because of music rights. Okkkkkkkkkkkk.


"The unconventional advertisement in which she is featured, belting out her great affection for Burger King's poultry and all its toppings, has been pulled, the Associated Press reports. The issue, the chain told the AP, is that the spot used music for which they may not have properly obtained the rights. A spokesperson for the company said that they hoped to re-launch the ad soon.
Many have decried the advertisement, however, not for its potentially illegal music choices but for its entire premise. Having a prominent black woman singing in an ad for fast food fried chicken, critics say, is inappropriate and insulting.

Damn Mary.... guess you may not be getting this check anytime soon.....
