The Daily Buzz For March 14


Khloe Kardashian Films for ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ 
Expanding her acting chops, reality star Khloe Kardashian was spotted filming on set for BET’s ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’.

Her mom/manager Kris Jenner was on hand for support, along with comedian Wanda Sikes and cast members Boris Kodjoe and Kevin Hart.


The New Pope! Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires has been elected to be the 266th pope of the Catholic Church, taking the name Pope Francis.
He is the first Latin American pope to lead the church, as well as the first Jesuit priest.
Francis, 76, appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday more than an hour after white smoke was released from the Sistine Chapel chimney at 2:05 EDT (7:05 p.m. CET) to signal that a new pope had been selected. Speaking from the balcony, he gave his first address as pope, the traditional Urbi et Orbi (to the "City and the World"), as crowds waved, cried and cheered for the new leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.

He prayed for the church, the papacy and for his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Francis was elected to the papacy after two days of conclave meetings with five rounds of voting. Voting in the conclave, which began Tuesday afternoon, is confidential and cardinals were sworn to secrecy, but Francis received at least 77 votes, which is the minimum two-thirds required to become pope. There were 115 cardinals eligible to vote in the conclave. All were under 80 before Benedict's retirement, as required by Vatican rules. In 2005, when Benedict was elected, it took two days and four votes to elect him.
Francis, whose papacy is effective immediately, will be formally installed in the coming days. It's unclear when the installation Mass will happen, but Vatican spokesman Fr. Frederico Lombardi said earlier on Wednesday that Tuesday, March 19, the feast of St. Joseph, is a possible date. He spoke before white smoke signaled news of a new pope, and it was unclear if he expected a decision on Wednesday. Lombardi also said in the same interview that the new pope would likely celebrate Mass with the cardinals the morning after his election.

The day of a papal installation typically begins with a visit with cardinals to the grottos of St. Peter's Basilica, where the first pope, St. Peter, is said to be buried. There, the new pope is expected to say, "I leave from where the apostle arrived" before a procession to the square and the installation Mass (the Mass lasted two hours for Benedict's installation in 2005).
At the installation Mass, Francis is expected to receive the Fisherman's Ring made for his papacy (the one Benedict wore was given up when he retired on Feb. 28 and purposely damaged by Vatican authorities per tradition) as well as the pallium, the woolen stole that's a symbol of his authority.

When Benedict was elected, 12 church representatives knelt in front of him at the installation: three cardinals, one bishop, a priest, a deacon, a married couple, a nun and man from a religious order, and two young people who have had their confirmations -- a key sacrament of the faith. A similar group is expected to kneel in front of Francis as a symbolic pledge of obedience.
After the Mass, the new pope customarily is driven around St. Peter's Square to greet groups of priests and laypeople from around the world who have come to see him. In the days after, he is expected to visit the three main Roman basilicas aside from St. Peter's: St. Paul's, St. John Lateran's and St. Mary Major's. The first visit is usually to St. Paul -- outside the Vatican City walls.
For his first few weeks as pope, Francis will live in a temporary apartment away from the official papal residence. Vatican spokesman Lombardi previously showed reporters a video of new pope's short-term home, which has a study, a sitting area and a carving of Jesus Christ's face on the headboard of the bed. Francis will stay there while the official papal apartment is renovated. The apartment was sealed after Benedict's resignation and church rules say it can't be reopened for any reason until there is a new pope.


Rihanna KICKS OFF "Diamonds" World Tour...First Performance Pics & Video From Buffalo
The first night of Rihanna's "Diamonds" world tour kicked off with a bang in Buffalo, NY.  The pop diva took the stage to rock out to tracks from all of her albums, and did it in several colorful and body baring outfit changes.
The set was complete with pyro, a few choreographed routines and more outfit changes than a little bit.  She performed every track from her latest Diamonds album, but threw in her most popular tracks from past albums as well.
She switched up from heels to sneakers to boots depending on the look.  And the sold out crowd ate it up. 
Her Rihanna for River Island collaborator, Adam Selman, helped design the outfits for the tour.   He told the NY Times last week about dressing her slim & toned bod, 'Her body is so insane. It’s the dream body to make clothes for. You don’t have to try as hard.'
The "Pour It Up" chick tweeted her fans: 'No words, just DIAMONDS!!! #EPICshit #BUFFALO $old out!!!  #BUFFALO I will never forget how you made me feel tonight!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! #1Love always'
Before hitting the stage, Rih dropped a BTS of her last rehearsal in Buffalo.
Catch her at a city near you!


Lil Boosie Receives His GED While in Prison
Congrats to Lil Boosie for graduating from his Angola State Prison GED program.  A photo of the Baton Rouge rapper dressed in a blue cap and gown, holding his GED have surfaced online. His family was also right by his side to support him in the photo.

Earlier in the year Boosie caught up with SPIN magazine, where he revealed that prison has made him a stronger, more determined man.


Ice-T’s Prenup Says CoCo Must Return Implants
I’ve heard of some pretty interesting clauses in prenups but the one Ice-T and CoCo have definitely takes the cake. According to Bishop Don Juan, if the couple splits Ice-T gets the implants back.
Wait, what?
Listen to it for yourself:
LOL!



OOPS Should Fabolous Have Posted This "NSFW" Photo Of A Mystery Woman's ASSets?
Faboulous posted a very risque photo on Instagram saying, "is that the Empire State Building or nah..?"

Now...we can't tell who the young woman in the pic is, but it very well could be his girl Emily B....based on the hair and complexion and her shape. So this posting begs the question(s)...is this Emily B's ass and should a man in a relationship be sharing it with the world whether it's his girl or not. 
Meanwhile, Emily (who recently confirmed that she'll appear on the upcoming season 2 of "Chrissy & Mr. Jones") has been silent about the pic, but she did tweet on Thursday, "Prepping for a video on a fancy island for my favorite client lol :) #Ready"  

{*UPDATE* Emily reportedly did comment that this is NOT her, but deleted her Instagram comment soon after.  She said, "Now y'all know this aint me he wouldn't expose me like this & btw my hair stays done." So....nevermind.}
Hmmm....if Fab is posting pics of booty in front of the Empire State Building...and Emily B is somewhere on an island....  Giving them the benefit of doubt....Manhattan IS an island too.  So maybe things are still all good.

We at least know he sent her birthday wishes in February (her birthday was the 16th) as he tweeted the above pics saying:
So a month later....is he up to no good?  You decide....



Nick Cannon says He’ll spank his Twins! He’s more strict than Mariah!
Most parents today have turned away from corporal punishment.
But Nick Cannon vowed on his Twitter that he'll do what it takes to keep his 22-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan from acting out. 'I was spanked therefore I shall spank,' he wrote on the microblogging site. 
'My momma did a good job! LOL.'
The 32-year-old, who has been married to singer Mariah Carey since 2008, further explained his tough tactics, ranting that he'll be sure to avoid spoiling his tots.
'Spare the rod, spoil the child! That's what's wrong with the kids today, The time out generation has no real discipline,' he wrote, capping off his statement with the hashtag '#oldmanvoice.'
The America's Got Talent host first caught flack on Wednesday when he told Us Weekly that he is preparing for when his twins hit the terrible twos.
Although the TV star was clearly joking as he said: 'I got my belt out already! It's ready.'
On who's the tougher parent, Nick was quick to put Mariah in the back seat. 'Who do you think? Me! I don't play that!'
He continued, saying while Mariah may not make the move, he's not afraid to get physical when his children get out of line.
'[Mariah] doesn't need to handle it, because that's what daddies are for,' he told TMZ.
And though they're only turning two in April, he's already making precautions for the day it comes to dating. 
'My son can date at, like, three if he wants, but my daughter - never,' he proclaimed.
Nick and Mariah have also revealed that they're ready to add to their growing brood, telling New York Daily News last month that the pair spent their Valentine's Day 'making some more babies.'

Did Tamar Braxton Ink Deal With Epic Records??
Singer Tamar Braxton’s name has been added to Epic Records’ roster of artists.’  She had previously been signed to her husband Vincent Herbert’s Streamline label at Interscope and it’s not clear why she moved to Epic, where veteran record producer L.A. Reid is the chairman.

This might also explain why her highly anticipated album Love and War, which was originally scheduled to debut in February, has been pushed back.

On iTunes, Braxton’s popular single, “Love and War” rose to the top of the charts within hours of its release, selling 84,000 downloads during the first week, in addition to debuting at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.



Jill Scott Nabs Role In CBS Pilot “Second Sight”
Singer Jill Scott has landed a leading role on the upcoming CBS pilot “Second Sight.”  According to Deadline, the Philadelphia native will join Jason Lee and Derek Luke in the cop drama.

Student Invited To KKK Party In His Honor??
A Texas mom is furious after middle school bullies handed her son a fake invitation to a KKK-themed birthday party “with lots of fun and games.”
Tahiyyah Howard said that this wasn’t the first time her seventh grade son Justin has been the target of racial bullying. She told ABC News that several white classmates have repeatedly picked on the Tomball, Texas student just because he’s black.
“I’m just, really, you know, sick of it,” Howard told KTRK.
In another incident, a female classmate wrote the words “Black Justin” on the board.
“My son was really upset,” Howard said.
Officials at Tomball Junior High School confirmed that the note was written, but said that a teacher picked the note up before Justin could see it. Administrators then contacted Howard and disciplined the two students responsible.
“The behavior of the two students who wrote the note is not acceptable,” a spokeswoman for the school district told ABC News in a statement.

Parents at the school had mixed reactions to the event.
“Just them being kids. Just human beings,” Theresa Ellis told KTRK.
Falisha Tanner, another parent, wasn’t too surprised. “That’s the norm here,” she told KTRK. “We are the minorities and we’re treated as the minorities.”
The Houston suburb has a population of about 11,000. Recent census data confirms that 83% of Tomball’s residents are white, while 6% are black.

Howard hasn’t pressed charges. However, she wants her son’s classmates to know that there are consequences for this type of bullying, beyond a “one-day suspension where they can go home and play videogames all day.”
“I think the parents should teach their kids that being racist or bullying is not okay, no matter if you’re playing around or just being mean. It’s just not okay,” Howard told KTRK.
The students who left the note are reportedly back in school.



The Leaked ‘Mrs. Carter’ Track-listing
Beyonce’s ‘alleged’ new album track-list was leaked and R&B Singer/Writer Ne-yo is happy to know that he’s included in that lineup. The new album entitled “Mrs. Carter,” is set to feature artists such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Sia, her sister Solange, hubby Jay-Z, Azealia Banks and Ne-Yo.

Ne-yo once he found out said:
“I saw that Beyoncé’s tracklisting just leaked and I’ve got a couple of joints on there, which is good news. I’m very happy about that.
Asked if he believed the leaked tracklist was real, he said: “I don’t know, I mean you never really can tell until the album comes out.”
On the process of working with Beyoncé on the LP, he explained: “I’ve heard some songs from the album so I knew what direction I should be going in. The last thing you want to do is write a song that makes no sense with the direction of the album, so she let me hear some stuff so I knew where to aim.

“I can’t say much else as I’ve been sworn to secrecy! I’m actually happy that no songs have leaked from it yet. Hopefully this is a sign for the future – that music can come out when it’s actually supposed to come out.”

Here’s the supposed track-list:
Alleged Tracklist:
01. Ratchet (feat. Lady Gaga & Azealia Banks)
02. Back 2 Business (feat. Jay-Z)
03. Roller Coaster (feat. Justin Timberlake)
04. Visions (feat. Sia)
05. Dance (I’m Soon Over) (feat. Rihanna)
06. More Than Sex (feat. Ne-Yo)
07. Better Than Ever Before (feat. Solange Knowles)
08. Runway
09. Sensations
10.12 Roses
11. It’s All Over

Excited????



Chris Brown moves on to Ghana with more Phuckery!
Chris Brown has been on a tear for the past week and it all seems to have started during an ill-fated trip to Ghana...
Last week Chris Brown was en route for a performance in Ghana when he got into an argument with his longtime bodyguard and left him stranded in Bermuda where they stopped to When Chris arrived in Ghana he blew off several promotional obligations, despite being paid $1 million, and drew heavy criticism from the local media for smoking weed onstage.

From Ghana Celebrities 
Few hours to the Chris Brown concert, he showed up in Ghana with a frown face. The organizers were supposed to be the ones carrying the frown face since he failed to show up for the all important unveiling and sod cutting ceremony which the President of Ghana (John Mahama) even attended.
Chris Brown’s arrival was received with bliss by many Ghanaians of which some tweeted along the lines ‘at least he is here now so let’s go and enjoy his electrifying performance’. He failed to be in the country on time for arranged radio interviews but what can we say? He has our $1 million…
His great performance which lasted over an hour was characterized with vulgar language which Ghanaians are not used to…
Instead of promoting the rLG or throwing in a word or two about the brand, he decided to take the piss again by promoting the use of marijuana when he knows or ought to know this is an illegal substance in many countries including Ghana. Whiles performing one of his songs, he happily asked if there were weed smokers in Ghana and proceeded to say “if anybody’s tripping on you smoking weed, fuck them”.
He pulled out a rolled ‘joint’ and smoked it live on stage… No Ghanaian entertainer dare do this openly in Ghana and go free. The police would have been on him or the crowd would consider it extensively offensive. However, Chris Brown came, did it and flew away!
The concert was great but the piss take by Chris Brown leading and during the concert was absurd! Surely, no one pays another $1 million to be disrespected…

Please, this boy is screaming for help. Get out of the spotlight..get overRiRi and get some help. He is on the road for destruction.


Real House Husbands of Hollywood. PICKED up for another season!
Kevin Hart has signed on for a second season of "RHOH" on BET.  And since the show was a breakout success for the network, we're sure his paycheck received a significant upgrade.  He tweeted, 
In a press release about the renewal, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, Stephen Hill, said,
 “When we launched this series in January, we knew our audience would have as much fun watching it as we had making it, and since it has been on the air, fans have voiced on social media that they want more. So this was a pretty simple decision: ‘Hey! Let’s make more! We are beyond thrilled that Kevin Hart and the stellar Husbands will be back bickering and back-biting for another season on BET.”

Meanwhile, Kevin's next comedy film, "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" hits theaters July 3, 2013.  Congrats Kevin!
