The Daily Buzz For April 16



Hailey Glassman, John Gosselin’s Ex Claims He Was BFF’s With Anti-Kate Gosselin Book Author
Jon Gosselin’s ex-girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, has come forward to publicly bash author Robert Hoffman who infamously wrote the book, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled The World, in which dozens of text messages from a couple of years ago were quoted from her phone which could only have been accessed by her husband at the time.

Since the revelation of the messages along with personal things that were stolen from her journal, Kate has searched for a top lawyer to take on the case as she gears up to sue the living hell out of Jon and Robert for not only stealing her journal and text messages, but also for the damage in her reputation since the book hit stores. Umm, Kate, your reputation was bad before the book even came out.Whatever the case may be, Hailey has now jumped to Kate’s defense after Robert started to get quite worried upon hearing he could be facing legal charges if Kate official sues him and Jon. He released an official statement on his blog which read that he and Gosselin “nowhere near close” in October, 2009 when the text messages were supposedly sent from Kate’s phone.

Hailey states that Hoffman is a liar because during the time she was dating Jon, Robert was always around. In fact, he was the one who came up with the idea to sell pictures of the two kissing for big bucks to tabloid newspapers and magazines, before adding that the money was later shared between the two fellas and it started to become an everyday thing to offer exclusive pictures to outlets.

“Rob is lying when he says they weren’t close enough for Jon to trust him,” Hailey said. “Rob and Jon hatched a plan that they would split the money from all the photos that Rob took and sold of us. Like the kissing photos; they told me a picture of Jon and I kissing would get mega money and I didn’t really care so I agreed. Then we all went to lunch, hung out and took more photos.”

If Hailey decides to testify in court – If Kate ever coughs up enough money to even hire a lawyer – Jon and Robert could end up looking at an extreme high rate of damage costs of Kate’s so-called “reputation” and not to forget stealing her private details, messages among other things. Only time will tell on who ends up laughing last – Kate or Jon?.

Tracey Edmonds Confirms: ‘I’m Making A Basketball Wives Movie With Shaunie O’Neal’

A rarity in the industry, Tracey Edmonds has spent the past 20 years paving her own lane in Hollywood, as a producer, business mogul, and studio executive proving that she’s more than just the ex-wife of Grammy award-winning producer, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. With the hit movie, Jumping the Broom starring Laz Alonzo and Paula Patton and Soul Food, the TV series, starring Boris Kodjoe and Nicole Ari Parker under her belt, the 46 year-old media mother of two, has launched a new YouTube premium channel, Alright TV.
It features faith friendly content and entertainment with shows starring Awkward Black Girl’s Issa Rae, Comedian Deray Davis, and The Wire’s Michael K. Williams, and of course, boyfriend NFL Hall of Fame player and analyst Deion Sanders. The business mogul dished in a recent interview about her brand, her boyfriend, and what’s next for her empire. Peep the excerpts below:

 On Why She Created Alright TV:
 A year and a half ago I started tweeting something inspirational every morning to keep people going. I got so many tweets back and had no idea how much it helped others. I realized people were really hungry to be uplifted and inspired. I had been working on a business plan for a cable network of inspirational programming and YouTube was the perfect partnership. We offer high entertainment value alongside a message, without beating people over the head.”

On Working With Beau Deion Sanders:
He’s been wonderful. He’s one of the most positive people I know. On the network, Deion hosts Sports Dad where he comes to the rescue of sports-obsessed dads who are pushing their kids too hard. He’s also doing an inspirational blog. I met Deion through business and had a chance to see the wonderful man he is.”

 On Working in a Male Dominated Industry:
Being thick-skinned and staying focused. There is a lot of rejection and I still get rejected all the time. I learned when someone tells you no, that gives you an opportunity to find another way. I got so many no’s for Soul Food. I went to every studio and was told no. They asked, ‘Where’s your audience? Who’s going to go see it?’ There was nothing to compare it to and Soul Food was an anomaly.

 On How She Built Her Brand:
I’ve always been an independent woman and wanted to be sure I was okay financially, regardless of what happened in my personal life. I’m an optimist and hope for the best in a relationship. But life throws you curves and you never know when the fairytale is going to end.
For women, it’s important to be able to stand on your own. I had great memories and great years with Kenny [“Babyface” Edmonds]. I also had my own vision. When you build a brand, you have to know you are putting a spotlight on yourself and you have to carry yourself correctly.”
On Her Upcoming Projects:
 There is a Jumping the Broom sequel in the works and I am also producing a Basketball Wives movie with Shaunie O’Neal. It’s not based on the show and is an uplifting story with a lot of twists.”

Good for her!


Tyrese Puts Fat People on Blast
*Tyrese Gibson is typically a nice guy, but he may have offended a few people out there with his latest comments about … overweight people.
The 34-year-old was keeping it way too real while in a recent interview with AllHipHop.com.

AHH: What kind of responsibility do you feel as an entertainer, you have to inspire people to live healthier lifestyles?

Tyrese: No two situations are the same. If you are fat and nasty and you don’t like the way you look, do something about it. It’s simple. When you take a shower and you put your fat, nasty body in the shower and by the time you get out, the mirrors are all steamed up so you don’t look at what you did to yourself. That may sound offensive or insensitive but ultimately, you are big as hell because you have earned that sh*t. You worked your a** off to eat everything in sight to get big as hell. If you got a problem with the way you look, then you need to do something about it. Excuses sound best to the people that’s making them up.

LMAO!
Bottom line is, the truth is out there and people are overweight in America. People are fighting for their lives because of unhealthy lifestyles and poor choices.

New York Times columnist recently highlighted the spreading obesity epidemic among African Americans.

“Too many experts who are involved in the discussion of obesity don’t understand something crucial about black women and fat: many black women are fat because we want to be,” Alice Randall wrote.
Big people, don’t be too quick to be offended. Tyrese put himself on blast about his own struggle, explaining that at one point he put on an extra 50 pounds.
 “How lucky is it that mirrors steam up after a hot shower?” Tyrese asks. “I didn’t have to look at what I’d done to myself.” And every morning for a year, he didn’t look.

Just keeping it real, man. If you shut the hell up. You’d really be keeping it REAL IDIOT!


REPORT: NeNe Leakes INKS $1 MILLION Contract For "RHOA" Season 6, Now BRAVO'S HIGHEST Paid HOUSEWIFE!
Meet NeNe The Million Dollar Housewife!

During season four of "RHOA" when Nene Leakes first uttered "I'm very rich", many viewers gave her the side-eye.  Fast forward to season six, Nene is collecting tv checks from "Glee", "The New Normal" and just signed a contract with BRAVO for a reported $1 Million dollars (and that doesn't even include her bonuses!).  It turns out she is "very rich."

According to Radar Online, a source with intimate knowledge of the season 6 contracts said, "NeNe is the one viewers watch. She knows that, Bravo knows that and that’s why they gave her a raise."
So how did the other housewives respond to the news?  Radar's source tells them, “Everyone gets it, NeNe is the favorite, but they’re still jealous, of course. They wish they could earn what NeNe makes because they don’t think she would be nearly as popular without fighting with them."

Though NeNe seemed to be burning the candle at both ends for season 5 as she commuted between Atlanta and LA, she's really happy with the way things are working out.   The site's source says, “She likes being on the show. NeNe is really happy with the New Normal and Glee, where she can be a real actress, but she knows her bread and butter comes from Bravo and that’s why she’s coming back, ‘cause she can’t turn the money down!”

By the way, all of the "RHOA" cast members have reportedly officially signed on for another season.
Congrats NeNe!

Rick Warren’s Son Ended His Life With An Unregistered Gun
By now, you’ve heard the tragic news. At the tender age of 27, Matthew Warren, the son of well-known pastor, Rick Warren, committed suicide. On the day of his death, Matthew, the youngest of three children, spent the day with his parents and was seemingly in good spirits according to his parents. He returned home from the outing and took his life in his home with an unregistered handgun he purchased through the internet.

In California, purchasing a gun without a background check and buyers who do not register the guns are breaking the law. The police say it will be extremely difficult to find the seller. A spokesperson said in a statement:

We can’t tell if it’s registered or not because the serial number is scratched off. At one point in time, it may have been, but it’s going to be impossible to find out.
Rick Warren is the author of best-seller “Purpose Driven Life” and leader of Saddleback Church in Mission Valeijo, California. In a letter Pastor Warren written to the 30,000 member church he said:

You who watched Matthew grow up knew he was an incredibly kind, gentle, and compassionate man. He had a brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most uncomfortable  in a room. He’d then make a bee-line to that person to engage and encourage them. In spite of America’s best doctors, meds, counselors, and prayers for healing, the torture of mental illness never subsided. Today, after a fun evening together with Kay and me, in a momentary wave of despair at his home, he took his life.
Warren also discussed his son’s death via Twitter:
The Warren Family have set up a mental health fund in memory of Matthew.


Reebok Dumps Rick Ross over Date Rape Rap ‘U.O.E.N.O’
*Looks like Rick Ross just found out being a Bawse doesn’t mean you say whatever the hell you want to and not pay the price because he was just kicked to the curb by Reebok, according to TMZ.
It’s all because of his rap on the song “U.O.E.N.O” which goes: “Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne.  She ain’t even know it.  I took her home and I enjoy that.  She ain’t even know it.”

In other words, nitwit was singing about date rape. Here’s Reebok’s reasoning for canning him …
“Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand.  Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.
“While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.”

Who knows. Maybe “he ain’t even know it.” Maybe he did. It doesn’t matter because ignorance is no excuse as they say.


Trick Daddy CONFRONTS Lil' Wayne Over "F*CK Miami" Tirade, Tosses Cigarette & IGNITES SCUFFLE!
Note to out-of-town rappers, no matter how famous you think you are....you shouldn't insult the proud locals!   Recently, Lil' Wayne was invited to host the re-opening of Miami's King Of Diamonds Strip Club (they've got new LED-lighting!) but that invitation stirred up some bad feelings amongst MIA residents like Trick Daddy.

You'll recall that Weezy let his feelings get the best of him during All-Star Weekend when he went on an infamous rant insulting the Miami Heat's starting lineup, which many took as a direct insult to the city itself.  Then he refused to apologize for it (but he did he take back his words about LeBron James).
Fast forward to last Monday evening when some of Dade County's finest (between 40-50 dudes to be exact) all walked into KOD's re-launch party with rapper Trick Daddy, all to have a few words with Lil' Wayne (who was there with Mack Maine).  We're sure the dudes just wanted a friendly apology from Weezy and intended to welcome him back to Miami with open arms....but ish quickly went left. 
Though King of Diamonds did tweet, "YMCMB in the Building!!!!! No worries", one of their followers said, "@KOD_miami trick daddy in the house ni*gas betta watch they mouth! #slipnslide #f*cklilwayne #f*ckkod #tootsiesallday."

According to MTV's Rap Fix, sources at the strip club that night say Trick and his crew went over to confront Weezy and that "talk" led to Trick flicking a cigarette butt at Weezy.  From that point on, it's only reported that Weezy was escorted out of the building after bruhaha broke out. 

Unfortunately, it's hard to fill-in what happened between the 50 dudes walking in and the cigarette butt being flicked because the streets don't "snitch". But something clearly happened. 
Neither Trick nor Weezy have commented about the alleged scuffle, but back in Feburary, Trick told Vlad TV about MIA ish talkers,

"If anybody don't like it they can die tonight.  I don't care who be offended by what I say. I rep my city and want nobody disrespecting. We've got to stick together as radio, as artists, as DJs and fans who love the music as a whole. That's what makes a community. Me and Luke been talking, we've been getting together, we're going to find out some type of way to get this thing back on the road -- I can't go nowhere else, this is my home. So from now on, when they get here, they're going to have to start checking in."

Since we don't think Weezy ever got around to doing that "check in",  perhaps that explains why he was escorted out.
