IT’S THE BRAXTON’S REUNION SPECIAL WITH WENDY WILLIAMS!

Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar got glammed up for their big special where they addressed everything from where the season left off. The sisters talked issues such as the tension and jealousy between Toni and Tamar; Trina’s marital woes with cheating hubby Gabe; Tamar’s hubby Vince’s hospitalization; Traci’s struggle to find her true calling; and Evelyn’s recent engagement and if she went through with the wedding.

Tamar looked like an ice skater and rocked the Giuseppe Zanotti sparkling heel-less shoes. But I'm loving her new red hair.

Toni brought her son Deizel on the carpet.

Towanda's been stepping up her game completely this season. But looks man-ish in he pics

Great look for Traci as well.

Thought this was Ashanti for a minute...

Beyonce’s House of Dereon ad FAB or FLUB?

You know how Beyonce announced her pregnancy at the VMAs last year? And she lovingly cradled her pillowy bump, letting us know that she was – at that time – already six months pregnant? And then for months afterwards, Beyonce kept releasing all of these new music videos, and she didn’t look pregnant in any of them, and it just kept fueling the speculation that she simply removed her pillow whenever she had something important to shoot, like a music video or a magazine cover or something? Well, guess what? This is the latest ad for the spring/summer collection of the House of Dereon, that trashy label that Bey and her mom design. Guess when it was shot? “Shortly before Beyonce gave birth.” No, for real. That’s the honest-to-God TRUTH.

Beyoncé has only stepped inf ront of the cameras a couple of times since giving birth to her daughter, Blue Ivy, on January 2.


But new photos of the singer will soon be spotted all over the place as she stars in the latest campaign for her clothing label, House of Deréon.
Shot by famed celebrity and fashion photographer Tony Duran shortly before Beyoncé gave birth, the only image released so far features the brand’s muse looking beautiful and sultry wearing a structured stud embellished bodice – a key piece from the line’s spring/summer 2012 collection.
The newest designs, which are available at Selfridges and House of Fraser, include a range of dresses – from short and feminine to floaty maxis and bold sporty styles – perfect for city streets or the summer’s festival fields.

[From The Mail]
I do think Beyonce is beautiful. Or, I did think that, before she started turning herself into a blonde white woman with a tweaked face. I’ve been staring at this ad image for too long now. It’s… disturbing? Beautiful? Enchanting? Bey’s Illuminati eyes are piercing my soul. Oh, and hahahahahaha nine months pregnant when she shot this. Hahaaha.

Gloria Govan & Matt Barnes Shop For Charity With Laura Govan

Looks like "LA Basketball Wife" Gloria Govan and Laker Matt Barnes are more than on again. After recently admitting they're back together, Matt & Gloria made a coupled up appearance at Laura Govan's Bloomingdale's charity event in Orlando over the weekend.
Sisters and "Basketball Wives: LA" co-stars Glora & Laura Govan (pictured above with fashion entrepreneur Ariana Pierce) spent part of 2012 All-Star Weekend giving back. The Govan gals, along with Matt Barnes, partnered with Bloomingdale's to raise money and bring awareness to the Zero Two Hero Foundation.

The Zero Two Hero Foundation, which was founded by Laura's fiance' NBA star Gilbert Arenas, is a non-profit organization geared toward assisting families in need. Collectively, the team put together an exclusive in store fashion event where models showcased the latest and greatest fashion finds currently being offered while those in attendance shopped. A portion of all proceeds were donated to the Foundation.
Gloria rocked a cute white dress and red lip for the occasion.

 

And the trio did interviews with the media of course. Great cause. Now let's see how long this run for Matt & Gloria will last....

Right now I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how he sleeps with that thing?!?! My car has those lumbar things in the seat and they are uncomfortable as shit. I couldn’t imagine laying on my back with that big boulder digging into my back.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

CHICAGO HONORS Bernie Mac with Street named after him!

Bernie Mac Street: Chicago Dedicates Englewood Street To Late Comedian

A sign bearing the name of the late comedian Bernie Mac has been raised over a street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood.
About 200 people, including his widow Rhoda McCullough, daughter Je'Niece McCullough and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, gathered Tuesday on a corner near the home where he grew up.

Je'Niece McCullough says she hopes renaming the street Bernie Mac Street reminds people "they can do whatever they want to do in life."

Mac, born Bernard McCullough, died in August 2008 at age 50 from pneumonia complications, after suffering from sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease.

The comedian is best known for his stand-up performance in the Original Kings of Comedy, a tour that showcased several popular contemporary black comedians, and the hit comedy series "The Bernie Mac Show."

That’s great R.I.P Bernie!
