Wendy Williams Talks Botox, Cellulite & Compares Her Breast Implants to Car Tires 

In an interview with xoJane Wendy Williams dishes on why she prefers less clothes, the pros and cons of her breast implants and more. Peep a few excerpts:

On why she prefers less clothing:
I think that clothing complicates my body. Even in the most beautiful outfit I feel like, I have on too many clothes. First of all TV adds the weight. And TV bras are so thick, because nipples are offensive. Big breasts, they always want you to push them down to be a flat C. I wear a Playtex Target T-shirt bra. I don’t like bras with lace and embellishments; then it looks like I’m stuffing like I’m in eighth grade. I like them to be thick and old ladyish and pointy. Well, I have breast implants so they stay good.


On why she compares breast implants to car tires:
“I’m open about it. But the downside of it is that for women who get it and think it’s a one-time thing, you always have to have your money ready for your corrective surgery. Particularly with breast implants. It’s like wheels on a tire. Even if your tire never pops and even if you never get a bubble, even if you have no reason to replace them, you should because the treads thin and when the treads thin you can get a blow-out. I’m trying to change my habits right now and start sleeping on my back, because if you wake up with a deflated breast, you now have to have the same $7,000 to replace them.”

On having a controversial mouth piece:
I only say what I want you to know. I’m very thoughtful with everything that comes out of my mouth, even though it seems otherwise. I’m responsible for protecting the privacy of my son and my husband and my parents and my siblings and my community. Once it’s out there, you can never take it back. It can never be yours again.

On botox, cellulite and cosmetic surgery:
I get a little Botox, I don’t have any now; it’s all run out. But I don’t use anything big and special on my face. I truly believe things like stretch marks and cellulite are inherited. I don’t have one stretch mark and I gained 100 lbs when I was pregnant. But, I’ve got lots of cellulite. Including on my arms. If I had a choice between either or, I would take the cellulite any day.

SHADE!!!: LisaRaye McCoy FINALLY Reveals To JET Her Drama With Stacey Dash...And Why She DE-FRIENDED Duane Martin
And finally...LisaRaye McCoy gives up the goods on what really went down with her and Stacey Dash...and Stacey's sudden departure from their VH1 show "Single Ladies." In an exclusive interview with JET magazine, the former Premier of Turks & Caicos' wife refuses to take the blame for Stacey leaving...but does admit a catfight or two ensued. Plus, the opportunist Hollywood actor she dumped as a friend...

In this week's issue of JET magazine, the feisty LisaRaye McCoy reveals she doesn't have the "power" to get a co-star (namely Stacey Dash) axed form her "Single Ladies" show. But if you read between the lines, it's pretty clear she indirectly may have had something to do with Stacey's departure. Not to mention the many sources who saw their fights first hand on the set.
Now, LisaRaye finally gives up the details. Here's the highlights:
On moving on without Stacey Dash who played her best friend on the show:
Believe me I wish things had worked out because I thought Stacey and I were great together. She was my age and we were working it. It was sex-symbol to sex-symbol. But she didn't want to be there. I was disappointed about that. She had some issues. I'm not sure exactly what those issues were. In the end, she and VH1 made a decision.

On the catfights that really went down on set
Yes, there was a disagreement over a scene. And it really wasn't with me. It was with the director. I think it was about 2 or 3AM and we'd been shooting all damn day. Stacey tried to argue with the director about a line. And I'm like: "Girl, if you don't say what the director wants you to say." It wasn't that serious at first, but it went there.
It's a bunch of women on the set. We might all be on our damn period at any given point. I just wanted us to move forward. Then the argument took on a life of its own. The show decided to use it for publicity. They just ran with it.

On which Hollywood friend she had to dump
Duane Martin. I introduced him to my ex-husband [former Turks & Caicos Premier Michael Misick], he got buddy-buddy with him and then turned against me. Just recently, this fool Duane up and sold a building he and I bought awhile ago in Los Angeles, without asking...I don't care if we're not friends, just don't try to f**k me in the interim.
When I heard about him in the middle of Will & Jada's divorce rumors, I tweeted: sounds familiar. He really aint got enough business.

Ha! And there's more where that came from. Pick up JET to see what LisaRaye had to say about whether she's feeling her new co-star, Denise Vasi, and if she and Vivica Fox ever squashed their beef!

Terrence J & Rocsi Diaz Leaving BET’s 106 & Park After 7 Years,
Sad news for all the 106 & Park fans after over 7 years, BET’s hosts Rocsi Diaz 32(real name Raquel Roxanne Diaz) and Terrence J 31 (real name Terrence Jenkins) will be leaving BET’s 106 & Park. Both will be pursuing their acting careers, while Rocsi will be moving to Los Angeles.

And in 2006, Rocsi (who was a radio host on Power 92.3 in Chicago in the afternoon), and Terrence J became hosts after winning the BET New Faces Contest.

In terms of Terrence and Rocsi’s departure, we are told that the network is going in a new direction, with a number of new and old programs being changed and re-invented. 
No reps have released statements, but I, along with a number of outlets have received personal inside information. Stay tuned for more details.


Serena Williams Pops Slick on “Backstabbing Friends” Who Leaked Her Rap Song
Serena Williams recently addressed her leaked rap song, alleged rap career and “back stabbing friends.” The untitled track began surfacing around the internet last Friday which sparked conversation of the tennis star’s new talent to add to her resume. On Wednesday at a press conference after her victory at the Italian Open in Rome Serena stated,

“Well, I was in the studio with friends and I wanted to do something and so they said do this and it was for me. The next thing I know — that was one or two years ago and then I read online that I was a rapper and so my back-stabbing friends did that to me and so if I see them, I will act like a rapper — if you can get my drift.”

So I guess this means no Serena Williams album? If you haven’t heard it catch the track here.


WTF?!? Micky D’s have little unknown treats in their Hash Browns?
A McDonald’s customer got the surprise of his life for breakfast
In the age of cell phone photos and twitpics, the man took a picture of the monstrosity and posted it online.
Here’s the gag… apparently he’d already eaten half of the breakfast goodie before realizing that something just wasn’t quite right.
When he looked down, he noticed a deep friend “surprise” smack dabb in the middle of his hash browns!
Wanna see what he found?
(WARNING! DO NOT look if you have a weak stomach!)
The McDonald’s customer posted the photo above to his Reddit account of a cockroach fried into the middle of his hash brown.
The man ate half of it before he realized the bottom half felt like there was something attached to it, and noticed a large black winged insect on his potatoes.
He took his buggy breakfast back to McDonald’s to show the manager, and she marked his receipt so he could get the same meal for free next day. 
Free meal? Is that all he got?

Kandi Burruss DISHES To Dr. Drew About Sex And "Bedroom Kandi"
Kandi Burruss and her mama Joyce stopped by Dr. Drew's show to discuss her successful sex toy line. Watch their segment inside and see former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield clear up rumors about why she left the show and if Chateau Sheree is really NEVERland...

"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss stopped by Dr. Drew's talkshow to dish on her successful sex toy line. When asked why she created it, she said,
“I have an online talk show. We talk openly about sex and relationships. And from there, I got an idea of what people like over the last two years. I thought, ‘I want to have my own toys’. It’s an idea I thought would be fun and it has grown into something much bigger.”

WATCH: 

Mama Joyce threw in her two cents saying the line is a great idea....especially for older women. She cautioned that older women also have to protect themselves from STDs while maintaning a healthy sex life. True...but awkward convo with moms right?


White Student Wears Blackface For School Assignment
The parents of a second-grader at Meridian Ranch Elementary School in Peyton, Colo. should be stoned for sending their son to school in black face. The boy, Sean King, was of course told to remove the makeup, which he wore to portray Martin Luther King Jr. for a "Wax Museum Day" project.

According to his parents, Michelle and Anthony, when they went to see their son's presentation they were informed that the paint had to be removed. "It's embarrassing," Michelle said. "It's sad for the kids and sad for Sean because he's a very good student. He really thinks of school very highly." While he will not be disciplined for the act, his mother believes that the school overreacted. "I think they took it farther than what it had to be."
On the contrary, a representative for the district which houses the school wrote the incident off as "offensive" and "distracting."

The tension behind blackface remains a sore spot in the black community, and while the boy is too young to understand the impact of his actions, he's one of many people to wear the offensive look. Earlier this year, a cast member on MTV's The Challenge: Battle Of The Exes donned blackface as an attempted joke. Similarly, a Brigham Young University student wore blackface around campus while quizzing other white students on their knowledge of black people

Terrell Owens Fighting Foreclosure on Miami Home
Terrell Owens owes more than $1 million on the swanky beach condo he owns in Miami. And the bank is already threatening the NFL star with foreclosure, according to TMZ.
Owens, whohas been dealing with financial problems recently, already has had to sell off multiple properties recently, so the Miami property could be next if he doesn’t come up with the money.

Deutsche National Bank sued Owens in April and claimed that he owed $1.47 million on the property. The lawsuit also said no payments had been made in the previous six months. The original loan was made in 2006 for $1.55 million, and Owens had paid $5,126 per month up until last November.
Owes has responded to the lawsuit, and said that the bank “lacks standing” to foreclose on the property. He also says there is no problem with outstanding balances.
In December of 2011, Owens was forced to sell his Dallas condo for $350,000 less than he originally bought it for. Owens bought that property for $1.95 million in 2008 when he was playing with the Dallas Cowboys.


Did Chris Brown Propose To His Boo Karrueche Tran?

Will we see marriage in the near future for this young couple?
