WOW!!! Popular Dutch Magazine Calls Rihanna A N.*.G.G.A B*TCH!?!

A very popular Dutch magazine has blatantly referred to black women such as Rihanna as a “N*GGAB*TCH.”

Check out the full English translation.

English Translation:
She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate n.i.g.g.abitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it. But Dutch winters aren’t like Jamaican ones, so pick a clothing style in which your daughter can resist minus ten. No to the big sunglasses and the pornheels, and yes to the tiger print, pink shizzle and everything that glitters. Now let’s hope she won’t beat anybody up at daycare. Two hours ago, Jackie Editor in Chief Eva Hoeke posted the below apology on the magazine’s Facebook page.
Well Rihanna responded in the most ladylike way possible to Eva's article which talked about Rih's "ghetto ass" and porn heels. The article also called the "We Found Love" singer the "ultimate n*gger b*tch"...as if it were a compliment.

A Dutch news site reports today that Hoeke has walked away from her position as a result of the "commotion" caused by the article. And Eva says she was maybe too quick to offer up her reasoning for publishing the term.

Her statement loosely translated into English: {UPDATED with better translation}.

"I realize that my initial reaction on Twitter, where I stated that it was a joke, was an incomplete description of what I, and also the author of the article meant. The term has come over from America and I thought it would be suitable to describe a particular style of dressing. Due to the enormous pressure from social media, I promised to do better regarding our language use in future issues of Jackie as well as rectifying the situation.

I have now come to the conclusion that rectification is not the proper solution. I regret that I expressed my opion too quickly without carefully thinking things through. I, along with the publisher came to the conclusion that it’s better for all parties if I immediately lay down my duties as editor now that my credibility has been affected negatively. After eight years of dedicating myself with my heart and soul to Jackie, I realize that these errors – although without any bad intentions – are a reason for leaving. “

Lady stop you knew better and you did the right thing!

OH SNAP!! Wiz Cheatin’ On Amber?

Did Wiz cheat on Amber with Draya? Check out the scoop…

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose have the kind of relationship that looks like it could never be broken. They’re always loving it up on the red carpet and talking about how in love they are in every interview, but some photos of Wiz and Draya Michele have made their way onto the internet.

The photos show Wiz partying it up, bottle in hand, with Draya and her crew. She’s dancing on him, sitting on his lap and the photos don’t paint them in a “friendly” light.
However, Draya has spoken out about the photos saying she’s cool with Amber and the photos are from a long time ago. Are you buying the hype?

DUMB IDIOT! Texas College Republican leader in hot water over 'racist' remarks about Obama

Cassandra Wright, the president of the University of Texas College Republicans, is finding herself in same kind of hot water as her predecessor after Tweeting controversial remarks about President Barack Obama.
'My president’s black, he snorts a lot of crack. Holla. #2012 #Obama,' she posted on Twitter just before 3am Sunday.
The last University of Texas College Republicans head, Lauren Pierce, made national news when she posted on Twitter that it might be tempting to shoot the president -- hours after a man fired a high-powered rifle at the White House.

For good measure, Miss Pierce re-Tweeted the crack-cocaine remarks, as well.
Miss Wright has closed her Twitter account to the public and has not responded to the controversy, with some calling the remarks racially-insensitive.

However, her organization is already distancing itself from her.
'The opinion of our President Wright is that of her own not in keeping with our core values, our standards, and our code of conduct,' Cesar Villareal, a student spokesman for the group, told the campus newspaper the Daily Texan.
'... UT College Republicans does respect the office of the President of the United States. We are all Americans, and even if we do not agree with certain policies, the UT College Republicans wish all our leaders well, as they are all dedicated to public service.'
Last month, Miss Pierce resigned after she Tweeted: 'Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama. We need him to go down in history as the WORST president we’ve EVER had! #2012.'

The comment was made hours after a 21-year-old Idaho man was arrested for shooting an AK-47 rifle at the White House.
She apologized for the remark, saying it was meant to be a joke.
Miss Wright, who was installed as her replacement, told ABC News: “Insofar as she’s a representative (of the College Republicans), maybe it shouldn’t be said, but she’s made a positive statement in a way.'
'I don’t really see anything wrong with it. It’s just a personal comment, not representative of any group. Just freedom of speech, you know?'

INDIA AIRIE SUED BY HER MANAGER

Noreen Nalli, who served as India Arie’s manager from 2005-2009, has filed a lawsuit claiming that Arie fired her without any prior notice.
She also mentioned that she believes India sabotaged her career in a way.
According to the lawsuit collected by TMZ, she also claimed thet India.Arie still owes her money while India.Arie actually filed a counter-lawsuit that claims that she overpaid Nalli.
TMZ also reported according to the lawsuit:
Nalli claims India.Arie constantly canceled shows, rejected offers to perform, and would be unavailable for weeks at a time … which hurt record sales and therefore cost Nalli additional money.
A representative for India.Arie said in this regard that “she remains hopeful that the matter will be resolved amicably.”

Oprah Says Kim Kardashian is a Phony

Oprah brands Kim Kardashian a phony for exploiting the people of Haiti on her recent charity trip.
Haiti earthquake orphans and poverty stricken locals OUTRAGED as KIM KARDASHIAN mocks their suffering – stays in a $1,000-a-night hotel as starving stricken children are bused in to meet her! Plus: the wrath of OPRAH!
In a desperate bid to repair her tattered image, KIM KARDASHIANvisited earthquake-ravaged Haiti on a mercy mission, but her plan backfired as irate locals blasted her as a “phony” and told her: “Go back home, Kim!”

During her 48-hour stay in the nation’s capital, the reality TV diva accompanied by her mother/manager Kris Jenner – stayed in a $1,000-a-night hotel suite, traveled in a royalty-worthy convoy with her own photographers and bodyguards, and strutted down the runway in a fashion show.
But she mostly avoided the squalid refugee camps where an estimated 600,000 Haitians remain homeless with little access to sanitary facilities and clean water.
When she visited a school to hand out Christmas presents, it was the area’s most prestigious academy – and orphans were bused in to meet her!
“The whole trip was a sham,” one source told The ENQUIRER. “It’s like Kim turned a blind eye to Haiti’s real issues – poverty and hunger. All she did was rub shoulders with the nation’s elite.
“She showed no interest in the plight of our people. It was a scandalous waste of time and money.”
And that wasn’t the only criticism leveled at Kim.

Oprah Winfrey is incensed that Kim’s trip upstaged her own visit to Haiti, where she interviewed Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn about his earthquake relief organization.

“Publicly, Oprah will say that any publicity for Haiti is good, but privately she fumed to a pal, ‘I think Kim is a phony,’ ” divulged an insider. “Now Oprah is livid. Kim has no idea what she’s done. It’s always better to have Oprah on your side than against you.”
The 31-year-old Kardashian was riding high when she tied the knot with NBA player Kris Humphries.But her image took a huge hit when she filed for divorce just 72 days after the made-for-TV nups, prompting crix to slam the wedding as nothing but a publicity ploy.

Anxious to rehabilitate herself, Kim hooked up with the Haitian relief organization We Advance. It was co-founded by “Prime Suspect” star Maria Bello after a massive 7.0 earthquake slammed Haiti in January 2010. The quake killed nearly 300,000 people, and left 1.5 million more homeless, while another 6,700 perished in a cholera epidemic.
But Kim didn’t see much of that misery – she checked into the posh Presidential Suite of the five-star Karibe Hotel, the best lodging in Port-au-Prince.
Her suite cost a whopping $1,000 a night – or two and a half times the average Haitian’s $400 annual salary.
Her accommodations had private elevators, a Jacuzzi, dual plasma TVs and, as the hotel’s website boasts, “a breathtaking view of Port-au-Prince,” far above the capital’s rubble-strewn streets.
During her brief stay, Kim treated hotel staffers like her own personal servants, said a source.

“Kim seemed to be really inconvenienced by the poverty and the sanitary conditions in Haiti,” said another source.
“After she shook several people’s hands, she was spotted cleaning her own hands with a disinfectant wipe.”

“Kim’s trip was NOT about helping Haiti,” a Haitian closely connected to Kim’s stay on the battered island told The ENQUIRER. “She just came down here for a photo op and then flew back home to her celebrity life. She did nothing for Haiti.”
A promoter for the Women, Creation and Production fashion event added: “She flounced around with bodyguards to keep her safe and traveled in a convoy like a visiting dignitary. It was ridiculous.”
Even more insulting, both Kim and her mother dressed in pricey, in-your-face clothes.
“The clothes on their backs could feed a Haitian family for years,” Port-au-Prince television producer Steve Azor told The ENQUIRER. “This visit was not about helping Haiti’s poor people – it was about helping Kim Kardashian revamp her image.”

This dummy cannot get it right!

Nicki Minaj: "I Don't Need To Change For Anyone"

Bringing her unique ways overseas, Nicki Minaj lent her star power to the January 2012 issue of Glamour UK.
The 27-year-old "Super Bass" singer is profiled in a feature titled 'We Love Her Minajesty!,' which includes a fashionable spread of pictures shot by Frederike Helwig along with a brief writeup to go with a few quotes from Nicki.
Some of the highlights from Miss Minaj's feature are as follows. For more, be sure to check out Glamour UK!

On her tastes in fashion:
"Accessories really make an outfit. I just feel more made up with them on. I love booties. I feel more comfortable and sexier walking in them."

On the type of person she appreciates:
"I appreciate someone who knows what she wants, who sets realistic goals and achieves them."

On her attraction to bold color:
"I'm inspired by color. It does something for my attitude. It just makes me happier."

On her admiration for Marilyn Monroe:
"I've always adored Marilyn Monroe - mostly for her facial expressions in her pictures."

On being comfortable in her own skin:
"We all have insecurities, but you have to know you're beautiful. I'm comfortable in my skin, and I don't feel the need to change for anyone."

In the meantime she just dropped her new single “STUPID HOE"

The 29-year-old’s latest effort is expected to be included on her upcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, with the single seeing Minaj channel her alter ego Roman Zolanski.
Nicki takes thinly-veiled shots at her enemies, specifically Lil’ Kim. “I’m Angelina, you Jennifer/ C’mon bitch, you see where Brad at,” she raps on the diss record, for which a video has been shot. “Ay yo Baby Bop, fuck you and your EP/ Who’s gassing this hoe, BP?” The fire has been reignited.

Listen:

Meanwhile, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is slated to drop on Valentine’s Day (February 14), with Miss Minaj saying it’s “so much fun from beginning to end… It’s … grimy.”

Common & Maya Angelou Settle Differences On "106 & Park"

The pair says that nothing has ruptured their friendship.
Veteran poet Maya Angelou expressed disappointment over Common using the N-word on the cut “The Dreamer” off his freshly released album The Dreamer, The Believer. After Com appeared on Hot 97 yesterday, he spoke with Angelou during an appearance on BET’s “106 & Park,” with both parties stating that there are no issues between them.

“I don’t think the word disappointment quite makes it. I was surprised. I know Common is brilliant. He may in fact be close enough to be called a genius. I’m not sure,” said Angelou. “I know that we’re all in process, and young artists are in process. It’s important to realize that all of you - all of us - I’m 83 years old so I’m almost out of the running.”

Angelou cited Machiavelli in explaining how her relationship with Com couldn’t be ruptured.
“There was a statement made by Machiavelli in the 15th Century. He said if you want to control the people, separate them, you can rule them. Divide them and you can conquer them. I will not be divided from Common by anybody’s imagination.”

Vanessa Bryant’s Ex- Stepdad Thinks She’s A Gold Digger, Plus Kobe Didn’t Want A Pre-nup Because He ‘loved her too much’

Last week, Vanessa Bryant surprised everyone when she filed for divorce after a rocky 10 years of marriage to NBA Star Kobe Bryant. Now, her former step dad Stephen Laine is alluding to her being a ‘Gold digger’ and claiming she learned the rules from her spiteful mother.
According to Stephen, there is a reason Vanessa waited until the 10 year mark to file for the divorce

Her mother taught her well to wait for the ten-year mark [before divorcing]. In California … it’s considered a long term marriage and then she gets paid for life or until she remarries … just like her mother is doing to me.”
I have to pay her mom $1,800 every month and clearly they don’t need it. I have a six-year-old daughter and that money could be used toward her college fund or something … you’d think she’d care … but no, she’s spiteful.”

I guess Stephen forgot to add that he stepped out on Vanessa’s mom which ultimately ended their marriage 15 months after Vanessa married Kobe. So in a nutshell, she’s spiteful because he cheated! According to an article printed by the Sun Sentinel in 2004, Sofia [Vanessa's mom] filed for divorce from Stephen after 12 1/2 years of marriage because she had learned that he was involved with another woman. Stephen at the time the article was printed, was currently living with the woman he cheated on her mama with and blamed the breakdown in the relationship on Kobe’s money.
He says that as Kobe and Vanessa lavished his wife with surprise gifts — a house full of furniture, a Mercedes-Benz S-500, $120,000 in cash, payment of phone, dental and credit card bills, payoff of their mortgage — he began to fear his wife’s respect for him was crumbling.

Vanessa’s step-grandfather, Robert Laine, put it this way: “All of a sudden, it wasn’t ‘What does Steve want for dinner?’ It was, ‘What does Kobe want?’ ”
In an affidavit filed with their divorce papers, Vanessa Bryant, then 20, theorized that her stepfather was “jealous” because the gifts she had given him — clothes, a computer — were less valuable than those she gave her mother. Not so, says Stephen Laine: “It was that I became insignificant.”

As far as the prenuptial agreement that was never signed, there is a story behind that as well.

Vanessa’s parents were said to have been hounding Kobe for dating their daughter who was still in high school and a minor at the time, so Kobe proposed to her on her 18th birthday (if he didn’t a statutory rape charge could have ensued). [Ironically, Vanessa's mother had been laid off, had no money and the family filed for bankruptcy days after the announcement.]
He was an adult and she was only 17, and it was like, hey, wait a minute,” Laine said. It was like, here I am, going bankrupt and my daughter’s marrying Kobe Bryant.”

None of Kobe’s family (including his parents) attended the wedding and Kobe and Vanessa were going back and forth over the pre-nup for a few months before Kobe decided to just scrap it all together. 


According to Vanessa’s step father:
‘She just came home one day and said something to the effect that Kobe didn’t want a prenup — that he loved her too much” for one.’

Oh.
Well, you’d think he loved her enough to not cheat too.

Looks like Vanessa is about to get that mula!! According to reports, she will more than likely walk away with at least $75 million plus alimony and child support payments. Meanwhile, her mother is still living in a $2.65 million dollar mansion down the street from where Kobe and Vanessa stayed. Kobe purchased the house right after the alleged Colorado rape incident went public.

This def could get interesting.

MATTHEW AND TINA KNOWLES…..DONE..OVER…FINISHED!…DIVORCED!

So much for Mathew and Tina Knowles staying together. Last November neither Tina nor Mathew showed up in court at the start of their divorce proceedings and the case was thrown. Well, apparently Tina refiled in August and the divorce was granted last month...

From TMZ
Mathew and Tina Knowles' on again-off again divorce dragged on for two years, but it's now legally kaput, done, over ... final.

The final decree of divorce was issued last month in a Texas court, and according to documents -- obtained by TMZ -- Beyonce's mom refiled on August 30. Tina's first swing at the divorce was in November 2009 ... but the matter was dropped in 2010 when they were both no-shows for court.
In the docs, Tina says the marriage was "insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities" ... which "prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
The papers make no specific mention of Mathew getting slapped with a paternity suit back in 2009 -- but the original divorce filing did come one month after that went down.

P.S. the kid turned out to be his.

Is Marc Jacobs Dating a Porn Star?

Pictures of designer Marc Jacobs and Brazilian porn star Harry Louis fuel rumors of a romance.
Last Friday, a Brazilian gossip blog ran a photo of Marc Jacobs getting a big, warm, sexy hug from gay porn star Harry Louis, along with the rumor that the pair are dating (the photo in question came from Louis's Twitter feed). They quoted Louis saying, paradoxically, he "[has] nothing to say about [the rumor]," though bloggers on Fashion found tweets from Louis in late November that suggest otherwise.

One tweet accompanying the photo reads, "What a great weekend thanks to the sweetest guy on earth, Marc Jacobs, see you soon in Paris baby... X." Another tweet from a day earlier, quoted on Fashin but seemingly deleted from Louis's Twitter page, is a bit more graphic: "Had a great weekend, and even better, such a great sex, and a great dinner. Cannot mention his name, but I can say, it's the hottest ever!" (Incidentally, this Fashion post contains a few NSFW images that are definitely not to be clicked on, say, while waiting at a JFK departure lounge on a Sunday night next to two old British ladies who might look at you curiously when you squeal and slam your laptop shut.)

In any case, though it's clear Marc has at least met Louis and has dated other escorts/adult film stars in the past, a few tweets (particularly one-sided ones) don't confirm even a casual dalliance.

Former ATL Housewife Dwight Eubanks ARRESTED!

OOOPS,The AJC reports that Dwight Eubanks was arrested last week after being stopped in Atlanta with a faulty car headlight. Typically a headlight outage wouldn't get you arrested--just a ticket. But since he was also driving on a suspended license--he was arrested on spot and charged with driving on a suspended license.


Watch from MyFox Atlanta:

Officers were patrolling the area of Freedom Parkway and Boulevard on Dec. 14 when they saw a Chevy Tahoe with the driver's side headlight out, Atlanta police spokesman Officer John Chafee told the AJC on Monday. They stopped the vehicle and spoke to Eubanks, who told them he did not have his license with him, the spokesman said.

When authorities checked, they found out his license had been suspended, Chafee said. He was arrested and charged.

Oh Dwight gurl you know better!

J-HUD Mini’s out at VH1 Divas!

Keri Hilson Disses Ke$ha

Keri Hilson disses Ke$ha for not making REAL music.
Claws out. There could be a kat fight brewing between pop’s reigning dirty girl Kesha and diva-esque Keri Hilson. Hilson was just filmed dropping a diss against Kesha.

Miss Hilson has a real penchant for downing other female pop stars and on camera, to boot. She was also recently caught dissing Beyonce. Now, there’s more video evidence of this habit. If this vid becomes a big deal and a feud ensues, there is no way Hilson can spin this to pretend like she wasn’t trashing Kesha.

Perez Hilton posted a video of Hilson being attended to by her glam squad. There’s like five people working on the diva at once. She asks, “Can we get some music now?” A Kesha song begins to play and someone in her glam entourage says, “I hate this b—-” to which Hilson then cattily comments, “Some real music.”
Watch:

Hilson goes on to acknowledge that has been caught commenting negatively about a fellow pop star, which could lead to some fallout, saying, “Hi, editors.” Perhaps that’s Hilson pointing out that editors of the footage will take it and run with it or it’s a hint to edit that part out?
Someone in Hilson’s entourage really has it out for the ‘Get Sleazy’ singer, calling her “vile,” to which Hilson comments, “Oh Lord” and laughs. She certainly doesn’t hop to Kesha’s defense.

Do we sense a b—h fest coming on? Yeah, we sorta do...But too bad Keri can't sing!

And finally from “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES

“4 DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS!”

For some reason I don’t think Santa is an any hurry to get down their chimneys tonight.

SEE YA’!
