Arsenio Hall Returning to Late Night TV

The Arsenio Hall Show was great back in the day!! I am so excited to hear that he is coming back to late night TV. Two decades after his self-titled show rebuilt the talk genre for a new generation, the 56-year-old comic and recent ”Celebrity Apprentice” winner reportedly has a show starting in September 2013. “In the end I’m a comic, and nothing fits the talk-show mode like a stand-up comic,” Hall said in an interview Monday. Referring to the crowded field in late-night TV — which includes “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” as well as traditional venues such as “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” — he added: “I know there are a lot of shows, but I think there’s a space for my show.”


CONGRATS Arsenio and WELCOME BACK!


WOW….A REAL FIRST 48! Dwyane Wade's Ex Siohvaughn ARRESTED, Dwyane Wants Her Visitation TERMINATED!
In a wild turn of events, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade's ex-wife Siohvaughn was arrested over the weekend after refusing to return her sons to Dwyane's custody.
Post has Sioh's mugshot. Details inside that are still unfolding
Dwyane Wade has temporary full custody of his sons Zaire & Zion. Their mother, Siohvaughn, was given visitation rights. But this past weekend, she allegedly did not return the boys in accordance with the court order.

Chicago's Cook County Sheriff's spokesman Frank Bilecki told The AP that Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was charged with misdemeanor charges--two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest this weekend. Apparently she did not bring the boys to Dwyane's sister in Chicago on Saturday at the agreed upon 12p time so that they could make a 3p flight to Miami in time for Father's Day.

Dwyane's sister called the Sheriff's office to check on the home when Sioh would not answer calls after several hours. The filing states that Siohvaughn attempted to leave the home with one of the boys when the Sheriff's department showed up.
Another woman, Nadgee Alarcon, was also inside the home and was charged with resisting arrest. And after Dwyane charted a private jet to get his boys to him on Sunday, his eldest son told him that the Alarcon woman "smacked him in the head."
Huff Post reports that Siohvaughn was admitted to a hospital later Saturday night for possible asthma attack.
All of this drama led to Dwyane's lawyer, James Pritikin, filing an emergency motion in court today (Tuesday) to suspend Sioh's visitation rights. A hearing has been set in regards to Siohvaighn, whom Dwyane divorced in 2012, for June 26th, the same day as Game 7 if necessary.
Dwyane said in his motion:
"Once again, S.L. has used our minor children as the proverbial pawns in this contentious dissolution of marriage action," Wade wrote in the filing, using initials to protect identities but referring to his ex-wife. "This court must take action to protect our minor children from further exposure to the present environment S.L. creates while they are in her care and preventing S.L. from exercising her parenting time in a manner that is harmful to our children.
"The minor children have been subjected to great deal of drama/trauma as a result of S.L.'s conduct."

*UPDATE* TMZ reports Siohvaughn posted her $10K bail and has a hearing for her own charges in August.

Alice Walker refuses to have The Color Translated into Hebrew because of APARTHIED!
Award-winning author Alice Walker has refused to allow a Hebrew translation of her acclaimed novel The Color Purple, saying ‘Israel is guilt of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people.’
Publisher Yediot Books had requested a new edition of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel which deals with the legacy of racism in the American Deep South but the 68-year-old said she could not permit it 'at this time'.

In a letter penned on June 9, which was posted by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, Walker said: ‘Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.’
The novelist said she was a part of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which calls for sanctions against Israel 'until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights'.
She added that she hoped her form of non-violent protest ‘will have enough of an impact on Israeli civilian society to change the situation’.
Walker told how she had attended the Russell Tribunal on Palestine, held in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 2011, where she heard ‘devastating testimonies from both Palestinians and Israelis'.
‘I grew up under American apartheid and this was far worse,’ she said of the testimonies.
‘Indeed, many South Africans who attended, including Desmond Tutu, felt the Israeli version of these crimes is worse even than what they suffered under the white supremacist regimes that dominated South Africa for so long.’
She added that she had similarly blocked a movie adaption of the Color Purple from being distributed in South Africa until 'the apartheid regime was dismantled and Nelson Mandela became the first president of color of South Africa'.

Her acclaimed novel was adapted into by Stephen Spielberg and starred Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey. It was nominated for 11 Oscars.
The Color Purple was first published in Hebrew in 1984, according to the Jewish Telegraph Agency.

Memphitz is an Abusive Thief and woman beater? According to K. Michelle He Is?
Monday night on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta artist K. Michelle served a piping hot pot of Darjeeling tea when she outed Toya Wright's husband Memphitz as a woman beater and a thief...
In a sit down with Rasheeda, K.Michelle explained through tears how she'd fallen in love with her record exec from Jive Records and how he spent her entire $2 million advance on jewelry, never produced her album, and then beat the shit out of her.
K didn't mention any names but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out she was talking about Memphitz.

Toya Wright & MeMpHitz Celebrate 1 Year Wedding Anniversary & Talks New Business, New baby
Toya Wright showed off her wedding ring and her view from Paris as she and her hubby Memphitz spent the evening yachting along the Seine River. The couple was celebrating their 1 year wedding anniversary.
She tweeted “F$ck what u heard…. I don’t think they make em like this anymore. #ilovemyhubby”

Toya is taking a break from her busy life as a business owner, spokeswoman and author to celebrate her one-year anniversary with hubby MeMpHiTz.
“Our one-year anniversary is coming up. We’re going to Paris,” Toya recently told Sister 2 Sister.
Although fans don’t get to see her weekly on reality TV anymore, Toya isn’t just sitting back being a housewife. She’s hustling, as usual.

“I kind of got out of my BET deal,” Toya said. “Right now, I’m going to launch my new website, EverythingToya.com, and I’m going to have webisodes to let my fans know what’s going on with me right now.”
What’s going on with Toya includes a new book—a sequel to her New York Times bestseller, Priceless Inspirations—and a new salon opening in New Orleans next month.
“I love health and beauty—anything dealing with getting glammed up. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. Instead of just having a nail salon, I wanted to add flavor to it. It’s a childhood dream,” she said.
“Tiny & Toya” fans might remember Toya trying her hand as a fashion stylist. Since then she’s opened a boutique, Garb, in New Orleans, and the glam loft will be right upstairs from Garb.
“You can get manicures, pedicures and waxing. You can shop up there. You can get full-service makeup. We sell novelty items. It’s like a real nice, exclusive spot in the city. It’s really, really elegant. It’s a loft where you can get all of these things done,” Toya said. “You can shop and sip some champagne and wine or whatever.”
Toya is also planning to launch a new line with Wal-Mart that’s scheduled to hit stores in September.
“It’s just a very nice, affordable collection. We’re bringing something different. The inspiration for the line is just the love of fashion and love of life. When you wake up in the morning and you get dressed … me, when I get dressed, I dress how I feel. So, if it’s a fun day, I’m putting on something fun and cute, and that’s just how my clothing line is. It’s very fun and affordable,” she explained.
After launching all her business ventures, Toya said she and MeMpHiTz might focus on another goal: adding to their family.
“I think next year,” Toya said about having another child. “I want to enjoy a year of just us, and then we’ll start working on that. I’m still trying to get some things off the ground and together and done first.”
Happy Anniversary to the Wrights!


Is Rudy Huxtable becoming an Atlanta Housewife?
Could you imagine a confrontation between sweet-as-pie Phaedra Parks and the even sweeter "Rudy Huxtable?" Well, according to Straight From The A, there's a STRONG possibility that "House of Payne" actress Keshia Knight Pulliam will be mixing it up with the cast of "RHOA."
As rumors are swirling that former Miss USA Kenya Moore has already been added to the show to ramp up the drama, Keshia is being viewed as a soft balance & friend for NeNe Leakes (Keshia already appeared with NeNe during a scene on "RHOA" earlier this year).
Though nothing is "official," BRAVO is set to release the official season 5 cast photo very soon so all the cards will be laid on the table. Should be interesting........
I know I'm not feeling neither Keshia nor Kenya being the Housewives' newest additions. I think they're above it. But oh wells.

MAGAZINE MODELICIOUSNESS: Joan Smalls LANDS July 2012 Cover
Industry darling Joan Smalls covers the July 2012 issue of "W" magazine. She went blonde for the shoot and still looks fabulous. Joan told the magazine:
“I just have something to prove...I know I’m representing a group—black, Latin, whatever you want to put me with—and I want to show that they are beautiful the way they are. I think that’s really important for our youth to see. Fashion is part of our culture...And it’s about more than just a pretty dress.”
In the mag, the Joan is photographed by Steven Meisel. She also covered Australian Vogue in May and is becoming one of the industry's most recognizable faces.
Joan credits her string of success to Givenchy's Creative Director Riccardo Tisci saying, “When I first started it never picked up for me, doing shows." But after Riccardo booked her for Givenchy in 2010, she says, “He saw my potential. And it changed people’s perspective.”

Well alright for that…FAB pics!
