Tichina Arnold stopped by "The Wendy Wiliiams Show" Tuesday to promote the new season of her TV Land series "Happily Divorced."  While chatting it up with Wendy, she talked about her daughter (who's a part of Debbie Allen's dance company) and her new husband, college basketball coach Rico Hines. 
Tichina joked that she doesn't like baby showers or weddings so for her wedding, she did things a little bit different.  She made her bridemaids wear pantsuits and instead of champagne, the wedding party toasted the new couple with shots of Patron! 

And when it comes to babies, Tichina said her husband wants kids--even though she's not excited about popping out another one at 40+--but it may happen.  She said she doesn't want to get stretch marks! 

Also...... 

Tichina also made an appearance on "106 & Park"  where she talked about her time on “Martin” and “Everybody Hates Chris.”  She also revealed that she has completed an album and will release a few songs for her fans in the future. 
And in honor of Giving Tuesday, she wore a purple arm band and dished on her work with increasing awareness about Lupus in the Black community.

Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho – Open Casket At Public Viewing 


The body of former boxing champion Hector “Macho” Camacho lies in an open casket during his funeral in San Juan, PR, on Tuesday. 
The public viewing is being held at Centro de Recreacion in Santurce. A private mass was held yesterday for family and friends. 
According to his rep, Hector’s body will be flown to New York City for a private funeral and burial at his mother’s request. It’s unclear when the private funeral will be held.


As we reported, Camacho passed away on Saturday from injuries he sustained during a drive-by shooting last week….R.I.P Hector! 


Did Will Smith Tried To Pull Favors With President Obama To Keep T.I. Out Of Jail?


When T.I. returned to prison in 2010 for violating the terms of his probation, he effectively threw a wrench in his career. The Atlanta-based rapper had a roster of celebrities supporting him through his trials, including Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, and Nelly. But the most supportive friend was likely Will Smith, who reportedly attempted to use his political connections to get T.I. released. “Will actually went as far as getting in touch with [attorney general] Eric Holder and the Obama administration trying to see if we could get some kind of release. He was very politely told that was not possible,” T.I. laughed. 
He added, “He was in deep discussions about it. And he’s been a huge contributor to the administration, and I mean not just in finances, I’m talking about time and other kinds of efforts, so it ain’t like his words were falling on deaf ears.” 
T.I. isn’t upset that Will Smith couldn’t score him a break: “I didn’t even expect no help. I didn’t expect nobody to help me. I knew I made my bed and I knew I had to lay in it.” 
before burying him in concrete'Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore charged with the murder of Abraham Shakespeare 
The lottery winner's body was found under a slab of concrete in 2009. Detectives obtained CCTV of her buying plastic sheeting and duct tape 


Woman 'befriended $30million lottery winner, swindled him out of his money and then murdered him 


Site of burial was owned by Moore's ex-boyfriend, detectives say 
A woman accused of befriending a $30million lottery winner, swindling him of his cash and killing him began her trial for murder today. 
Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore, 40, allegedly became close to Florida lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare by claiming she was writing a book about him. 
His body was found under a concrete slab behind a home detectives say was owned by Moore's ex-boyfriend in Hillsborough County. He had been shot twice.


Moore is accused of killing Shakespeare, of Polk County, in April 2009. He won a $30million lottery jackpot in 2006. 
Hillsborough Sheriff David Gee alleges she tried to dodge suspicion by using Shakespeare's phone to send family members text messages saying he was OK and also writing letters pretending to be him, according to 10 News. 
Moore denies the murder and says she took over Shakespeare's assets, about $3.5million and a mansion, authorities say, so he could get away from people pestering him for money. 
'The money was like a curse to him. And now it's become a curse to me,' Moore told reporters in 2010. 'God knows I would never take another human being's life.' 
But investigators claim Moore turned to a man called Greg Smith to cover up the crime. 
He was already signed up as a sheriff's informant and was working with detectives to get close to her and gather information. 
Sheriff Gee allege Moore trusted Greg Smith so much that she asked him for help to find a prisoner willing to take the blame for killing Shakespeare in exchange for $50,000. 
The trial is expected to last two weeks. A pool of 100 prospective jurors was screened yesterday. 
10 News reported that more than half raised their hand when asked if they were familiar with the case and will now each have to be quizzed on the extent of their knowledge of the case. 
 Mr. Shakespeare collected his massive lottery check with his family by his side in 2006 
 Ms Moore used these leggy photos of herself on social media websites 

After his win Shakespeare, a 43-year-old truck driver, won a court challenge from a fellow trucker who accused him of snatching the winning ticket out of his wallet while the two were delivering meat to Miami restaurants. 
Shakespeare's family reported him missing in November 2009, telling the Polk County sheriff's office they hadn't seen him since April. 
Speaking at the time, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said when their investigation began they had hoped to find Shakespeare alive. 
When the body was found, his brother Robert Brown was quoted by 10 News as saying: 'I'm missing my little brother, what ain't gonna be back no more. 
'Dead and gone, and everything. He ain't coming back.'

BRAVO Announces 3 New Reality TV Shows: ‘Taking Atlanta’, ‘Married to Medicine’ + ‘Don’t Be Tardy’


Hold onto your reality TV seats, Bravo has snagged three brand, spankin’ new reality shows–all out of ATLANTA. To date, the popular southern city has launched popular shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,and R&B Divas, but there’s plenty more from where that came from. Compliments of AJC, we’ve got the skinny on the three new shows titled: ‘Don’t Be Tardy,’ ‘Married to    Medicine’ and ‘Taking Atlanta’. Here’s the scoop on each: 
À        ‘Don’t Be Tardy for the Party’: Duh, we already know what this one’s about and after we learned that Kim Zolciak’s leaving RHOA, it makes perfect sense. The show will follow Kim’s professional and family/home life. And here’s the releases description: 
·        “Season two follows Kim and Kroy Biermann in the next phase of their marriage, which involves the demands of their ever-growing family, purchasing their dream house, and a possible adoption. The pressure is on as Kim tries to resolve extended family issues and manage the renovation of their house all while juggling being a loving mother, a caring wife and staying in the limelight.” 
À        ‘Married to Medicine’ appears to be a show about educated, rich and affluent women who are connected to the lucrative world of medicine. Peep an excerpt of the release: 
·        “Married to Medicine” follows a group of successful and educated women, including doctors and wives of doctors, who are connected to the world of medicine in Atlanta. Whether delivering babies in Louboutins or rushing off to galas in Buckhead, these women do everything with style, drama, and of course, southern flair. 
À        ‘Taking Atlanta’ seems to be a younger version of RHOA, as the cast/characters work in industries like entertainment, real estate, etc. The release describes: 
·        “Taking Atlanta” tracks the city’s next-generation movers and shakers as they make their mark in the glamorous arenas of fashion, music, hospitality and real estate while enjoying the city’s sizzling social scene and balancing the demands of their tumultuous family situations.” 

If you’d like to snag a role, rumor has it that there’s still time. Production has not yet begun and casting is under-wraps. Anywho, what are your thoughts on the newest reality TV shows? Sound interesting or an over-saturation of the ATL reality market?


Kanye Takes Kim to Visit His Mother's Grave


Kanye West took Kim Kardashian to his mother's grave site on the fifth anniversary of her death. 

Five years after his mother’s tragic death,Kanye West feels that he finally has a woman in his life worth bringing to her grave. 
After spending Thanksgiving with the Kardashian clan, the rapper brought Kim Kardashian back to his mother's resting place in Oklahoma City to spend a meaningful moment at her graveside and to meet his family, almost exactly five years after she was buried, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive details. 
"Kanye brought Kim to Oklahoma City the day after Thanksgiving to pay respects to his mother and to meet his mother's side of the family," a source exclusively tellsRadarOnline.com. 
"This was her first time meeting them." 
The high-profile couple managed to go undercover for the most part on their brief visit to the Midwest, flying out of LAX on Friday and jetting out of Oklahoma City on Saturday, Radar has confirmed from multiple sources. 
"This was a really monumental moment for Kanye because he adored his mother," another source tellsRadar. 
"He wouldn't have brought Kim there unless he was completely in love with her." 
Donda West, Kanye's beloved mother, passed away at the age of 58 in November 2007 due to complications from plastic surgery procedures, and was buried in her hometown later in the month. 


Royce Reed BITES BACK At HATERS, Says CUSTODY BATTLE Is About The BEST For Braylon 

Royce Reed has taken to Twitter to respond to people with negative talk about her decision to ask a judge to make Dwight Howard pay her legal bills.  Find out what she said. 

We told you previously that Royce Reed wants a judge to make Dwight Howard pay for her portion of their custody battle....and some people felt some kind of way about that.  So with folks bashing Royce on Twitter and across the blogs, she responded with a tweet and post saying, 
"We will never struggle... Period! Braylon will always have the best! That's what I fight for!" 

While Royce is saying she needs money to fight for what's best for her son Braylon, it seems that most folks are jumping on the "gold-digger" bandwagon when this is not about getting more child support (at least not this part).  Royce is fighting tooth and nail for full custody....because Dwight has filed for full custody for himself.  And no mother wants her child taken from her. 

And we see that Usher and his money allowed him to get full custody in his battle with Tameka Raymond...so Royce does have reason to be concerned. 

We'll keep you posted on the judge's decision.....

Rita Ora Bags Rihanna's Fast and Furious 6 Role


It's Rihanna out and Rita Ora in for The Fast and the Furious 6. 
In April it was reported that Rihanna was gearing up to play a villainous role in the upcoming blockbuster The Fast and the Furious 6. 
But it has now been revealed that Rita Ora has been cast for the part over the Diamonds singer. 
Rita, who celebrates her 22nd birthday Monday, apparently impressed during castings outshining the 24-year-old Rihanna. 
According to The Sun, Rihanna's hectic schedule clashed with filming commitments which led to the decision to take on Rita. 
A source told the newspaper: 'Rihanna impressed movie bosses with her role in Battleship. But schedules didn’t work out and Rita really shone during castings. 
The Hot Right Now singer, who has previous acting experience proved to be a big hit with the filmmakers, as the source added: 'They loved her look and her attitude.' 


Mariah Carey Performs for the lighting of The Rockerfeller Christmas Tree! 


It's been nearly two decades since she released her holiday hit All I Want for Christmas Is You. 
And Mariah Carey on Tuesday night proved just how enduring the track has been with festive fans as she performed at New York City's Rockefeller Center for the annual tree lighting ceremony. 

Below the 80ft tall Norway Spruce which will be lit on Wednesday night, and with Santa Claus by her side, Mariah belted out the track - and gave fans an eyeful of her ample cleavage while prancing around the stage in a low-cut red and silver dress. 

Here’s  video: 

 


The 42-year-old star took to Twitter before her taped performance. 'Walking to the stage to perform at Rock center. Let the festivities begin! Thx 2 all the lambs who are braving the temps here! LYM!!!' she wrote her eight million-plus followers. 
Temperatures fell into the 30s in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night. 
And while Mariah acknowledged she would be performing in the bitter cold, she wasn't detoured from slipping into a frilly dress. 
Still there wasn't a hint of a shiver from the star, who daintily held her mic in hand with a pair of opera length red satin gloves to match her frock.

Mariah is among a host of stars performing at the 80th annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting celebration. 
CeeLo Green, Il Divo, Rod Stweart, Victoria Justice, Trace Adkins, Chris Mann and the world famous Radio City Rockettes are among the featured acts. 
Thousands gathered in the cold to watch Mariah's taping ahead of Wednesday night's main event. 

Bette Midler and Billy Crystal will also make special appearances at the two-hour event, televised by NBC on Wednesday night. 
The Rockefeller Christmas Tree was unveiled earlier this month in Rockefeller Center. 
Topped with a Swarovski Star comprised of 25,000 crystals and weighing 550lbs, the tree will now be lit daily from 5:30am to 11:30pm through January 7; 24 hours on Christmas day; and until 9pm on New Year's Eve. 


ANOTHER VH1 DIVAS & R&B DIVAS…SHAKEUP? 
Angie Stone & Sunshine Anderson ADDED To "R&B Divas," New ATL Shows Pop Up On BRAVO 

The streets are buzzing about big changes over at "R&B Divas" with two high-profile castmates leaving and two new divas set to take their place. "R&B Divas" turned out to be a surprise hit for TV One, but the show's season one cast-lineup wasn't exactly a hit with the executives or people surveyed about the show.  We told you earlier that Nicci Gilbert's likability wasn't very high among viewers so she got the axe, and now, sources are reporting that Faith Evans is also walking away from the show.  It's not for certain whether Faith is going away willingly...but she's not expected to be back. 

So who will be filling the void?  R&B veterans Sunshine Anderson ("Heard It All Before") and Angie Stone ("Brother") are expected to come on-board.  And since "R&B Divas" isn't necessarily built on scandals and arguments, it may be a good way to put the ladies music back on the map since we haven't heard much from either of them in a while.  I DO want some dish on Mathew Knowles (Sunshine's manager) and D'Angelo (Angie's baby daddy) though. 

As for now, Syleena Johnson, KeKe Wyatt and Monifah are expected to be back (though TV One has not confirmed). 


Kenan Thompson Has New Show In Development 


Kenan Thompson is about to have another go at having his own show. Kenan, who has been with the sketch comedy series, Saturday Night Live (SNL), since 2003, is attached to write, star in and executive produce the untitled comedy, which has received a script commitment from NBC. The single-camera comedy would star Kenan as Kenan Monroe, a guy who gives up his New York life and moves to his in-laws’ house in the suburbs, where he must contend with three generations of problems. SNL’s Lorne Michaels, will also executive produce through his Broadway Video banner and Universal Television, marking the second project he has set up this development season. 

Meanwhile, Kenan’s old partner in television, Kel Mitchell, said that these days Kenan keeps as much distance from him as possible. “The truth is Kenan does not want to be seen with me in any form of media, or even have my name mentioned around him.” 
Kel says he nearly reunited with Kenan for an interview with a popular magazine but Kenan pulled out at the last minute and he thinks it’s because — Kenan’s still trying to separate himself from his old co-star. 
But Kel’s not bitter, explaining, “I have not been upset about this. I respect his choice of wanting to make a name for himself solo.” 


Royal Shade: Prince Philip Shades Alicia Keys During Her Performance. She makes his ears feel like their on FIRE!


Alicia Keys might have a new album coming out, but she’s been making headlines lately for everything else other than her new music. Recently, Alicia Keys addressed the rumors that alleged that she had an affair with her now husband producer Swizz Beatz while he was married to Mashonda. In a recent interview with Jet Magazine, Alicia denied that she had ever had an affair with Swizz Beatz. She claimed that she and Swizz actually began dating after he and Mashonda had called it quits and had been over for months. However, the allegations weren’t invented by the gossip blogs. Mashonda shocked everyone a few years ago when she accused the singer for having an affair with Swizz Beatz while they were married. Both Mashonda and Alicia continue to go back and fourth in interviews, and Mashonda recently claimed again that she and Swizz were not separated when the alleged affair took place. Since then, the shade on Twitter has been pretty thick between Swizz and Mashonda. 

Well it looks like there’s someone new throwing some shade Alicia’s way. 
Alicia Keys recently performed at the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were in attendance. And according to reports, Prince Philip wasn’t too thrilled about her performance. Onlookers claim that while Alicia Keys sang, the prince stuck his fingers in his ears.

The London Evening Standard reports: 
In the 65 years since he married the Queen, Prince Philip has built a reputation for his caustic wit and politically incorrect gaffes. 
And he remained true to form at last night’s Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall. The Duke, 91, was seen putting his fingers in his ears during a song by American Alicia Keys, making clear what he thought of her. 
Teen favourites One Direction, Girls Aloud, Rod Stewart and Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh Butler and her dancing dog Pudsey were among the other acts who performed at the 100th variety show. 
But when asked after the show what his favourite act had been, he said: “All of them … but to be honest we’re both stone deaf.” 


Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie will tie the knot soon 
The wedding of the century is still on, Brad Pitt said on Monday at the premiere of his new film, Killing them Softly in New York that the kids are pressuring him and the wedding is still on. 
 “I am getting more pressure from my kids, and it is something I want to do within their lifetime, but I also feel like the time has come,” 

“The time is nigh,” he added. “It’s soon. I got a good feeling about it.”
