Shelter in The Time of STORM! The Time Whitney Houston Helped BeBe Winans Buy a House

BeBe Winans is promoting his new book, 'The Whitney I Knew', about his friendship with Whitney Houston and recalls the time Whitney gave him $50,000 to buy a house...

BeBe tells Access Hollywood,
I wanted a house and, being a musician, the banks look at you as a risk... I had $25,000, which they said I had to put down (as a deposit) and then they changed it... and said, 'You've gotta put $75,000 (down).'
"Whitney flew in... just to visit, and she said, 'Take me to that house that you're buying'. I took her to the house and while we were walking through the house... she would look at the staircase and she'd say, 'Oh, that looks like my brother's staircase!'
"We got to the end of the tour and she looks at me and reached into her purse and gives me an envelope and says, 'Open it'... It was the remaining $50,000 that I needed and I looked at her and said, 'I'm gonna pay you back,' and she said, 'Don't worry about it'.

"I sent her the first installment of $25,000 and she called me and said, 'Why did you do that?' I said, 'I told you I was gonna pay you back,' and she said, 'Yeah, but a lot of people say that and they don't.'"

Awwww…..BeBe is alright peeps!

Evelyn Lozada & Mama Dee Talk Sex, Cheating, Ochocinco, & Pimping, On Kandi Koated Nights
If you ever wanted something to do on a wednesday night while in Atlanta come to Tags Boutique shop and watch KKN.. Last night, the lovely Evelyn Lozada stopped by the wildly popular web show, ‘Kandi Koated Nights’ for some sex talk with Kandi and her co-hosts. Necole Bitchie say’s although sex talk can be a very taboo subject, especially among women, Kandi does not hold back on her show, nor do her guests. 


The table topic was, ‘Why Do Women Have To Work So Hard To Keep Their Man’, and Evelyn left nothing to the imagination as she revealed that she tosses salads in the bedroom and has let another woman ‘eat the box’.
Lil Scrappy’s mother ‘Mama Dee’ from ‘Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’ was also on the show and she talked about how she got into the pimp game (she’s a former pimp) and playing mind games with women.
Check out some of the NSFW and very (TMI) excerpts below:
Evelyn On if she cares if Chad cheats
I care. I’m not going to say that I don’t care, but I’m not going to stress myself to a point that I’m trying to do everything to stop him. Listen, if you want to go and f-ck then whatever, like I’m 36. I’m not trying to stress about that sh-t. It is what it is and I truly feel like a man is going to do what he wants to do no matter what you do.
On whether she and Chad do anal
Yes.
On whether she swallows and tosses salads
Yes for both but wait let me make something clear; I have eaten a– but not Chad’s a–. His not into that [laugh]
On whether she and Chad has ever had a threesome
Almost. It didn’t quite happen
On whether the other girl ate her box
Yes
On her favorite position
I like being on top. I’m a rider.
On her freak number from 1 to 10
11
Lil Scrappy’s mama revealed she had no regrets about her pimp days because it fed her kids:
I took care of my kids with my pimping money. I was a nurse by trade in 96′ but unfortunately I was in a head on collision, so I couldn’t work. In the midst of that I had to take care of my kids so I snatched up two hoes at the time and then…I’m a pimp by blood but no relation you heard me. I was taught by older pimps! They were like, ‘is this what you want’ ? I said, ‘Yeah, hell I want it.’ He said, ‘Well watch’ and I watched how they treated women and how they would go into strip joints and how they played them, so i said, ‘oh this is a mind thing’. When you get in the head, the tail is going to follow so at the end of the day, I just paid attention. I was a good pupil, so when I got out there it was on. I make no apologies, no excuses to no one. I fed my kids. I didn’t go and take, they gave. Personally I think she is a DAMN MESS!
Purple Threadz Boutique, located in the heart of Buckhead owner Tamika Wright, was also in the building. ‘Mama Dee’ from ‘Love and Hip Hop Atlanta’ recently gave us a full interview that will be posted tomorrow about her life and being a black successful women. .If you’re in Atlanta you can watch the show with cast members from the show, Love and hip hop ATL, at the shop every monday for “Reality Check Monday”

Amber Rose let's it all hang out as she sexes up the sporty schoolgirl lookk
Amber Rose is throwing herself into every cliché on the set of her new movie, School Dance, with a sexier twist each time.
The 28-year-old was pictured on the set of the film today sporting a Varsity style outfit that would be banned at any school in the world.
Wearing a neon bikini top that barely contained her ample cleavage, Amber's Adidas offered little coverage to protect her modesty.
And the white denim skirt with childlike pumps with colourful laces did little to put the fire out given Kanye West's ex's exceptional adult body.
Amber is filming the dance comedy alongside Melissa Molinaro, Korrina Rico, Wilmer Valderrama and Jasmine Sanders.
The film, directed by America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon, is about 'a high school freshman who wants to be part of the most popular dance clique in his school but freezes in the spotlight.
Sparkler: Amber's outfit is so revealing you could almost miss the huge ring on her left hand, she's engaged to Wiz Khalifa
Rose (real name Amber Levonchuck) wouldn't have need too much preparation for her role in the film - she has danced in numerous music videos including Massive Attack by Nicki Minaj, What Them Girls Like by Ludacris and No Sleep, by her fiancé Wiz Khalifa.
Amber has been keeping her 1.2million followers updated with her on-set antics by tweeting regular pictures of the cast.

'Feels good to be back in high school,' she wrote last week, posting a picture of herself with Cannon, Sanders and Molinaro.
Then she proved that she is embracing being a kid again, keeping herself occupied with a skipping rope in between takes. 'Brought it back to the good ol days in South Philly... playin double Dutch on our break,' she wrote.
Amber has seen her profile rise significantly in the past few years following her two-year relationship with Kanye West, with a modelling campaign for Smirnoff, and the release of her debut single Fame in January, followed by another, Loaded, a month later.

Lady GaGa Manager Says “She Hasn’t Made It Yet” / Dishes On Her Future Plans
The success narrative of Pop phenom Lady GaGa is like no other in recent history.
Indeed, the singer has achieved in four years a level of commercial and critical success others have taken decades to garner.
It’s such accolades which have led many to hail her as an icon. However, it’s not a sentiment shared by her manager Troy Carter.
Speaking at the Music Matters conference in Singapore this, Carter discussed the star’s meteoric rise, opposition to her cause, as well as her future plans. 

Peep the interesting report, via Billboard, below…
“It’s less about Gaga than it really is what’s happening in the world right now as a whole,” Carter said when pushed to speak about the Jakarta protesters. ”This is a microcosm. It’s a generational divide. Jesus Christ got crucified. It happens.“
Carter, who got his start working with urban artists like Eve, Diddy, and Will Smith, quickly insisted that Gaga would not be changing anything about herself to fit markets like Jakarta, residents of which took offense to some of the Grammy winner’s provocative lyrics and music videos. When asked if Gaga would transform the “Born This Way Ball” in any way, Carter responded, “we’ll skip them.”

However, Carter insisted that Gaga and her team had loved every moment of their trip to Asia thus far, claiming “Asia is a very loyal audience and an audience that really, really loves music….it’s not a passive audience at all…we plan on spending a lot more time here.”
Though the manager wouldn’t confirm details about Gaga’s rumored fall LP, he spoke briefly on the singer’s contract with Interscope. ”We have I think three records left with Universal [Interscope]. There may be a [record label] system there by the time her deal’s up that looks more attractive.”
Asked by interviewer Michael Schneider whether Gaga has “made it” yet, Carter bluntly said no, comparing the star to a “200-lb toddler.”
Gaga has yet to announce American dates for the “Born This Way Ball,” but Carter notes that she plans to tour extensively until the end of next spring. It’s gonna be an additional year before that tour is over. It’s a long album cycle but it’s part of the storytelling.”

“Born This Way” topped the Billboard 200 following its May 2011 release.
While we’re side-eyeing the suggestion that the crucifixion of Jesus has any parallels to GaGa and Jakarta, the interview otherwise made for an intriguing read.
Smartly, Carter isn’t buying into the hype he helped create. Rather, he sees it for what it is – an amazing movement with the potential to become legendary. As such in achieving this, it’s clear touring (aka honing her craft while raking in that cha-ching) is rightly high on their agenda.

One can only hope that a new project – one more “accessible” and less contrived than ‘Born This Way’ – is released this year, though. For, as the critical and commercial response to many of ‘Born’s’ singles highlighted, the masses want a more refined and less preachy product from the paw purveyor. And with much today’s audience having the shortest of attention spans, leaving it any longer could prove commercially fatal.

Your thoughts?
