Bobby Brown Pissed At Daughter’s Engagement, Says Nick Should Have Asked For His Blessing
“Who gives this woman to be married to this man?” Not Bobby Brown, or at least not yet.  Bobbi Kristina, daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Brown announced her engagement to Nick Gordon last week. Although she seems to be happy with her new fiancĂ©, Papa Brown is not too pleased. He is reportedly upset that Gordon did not ask him for his daughter’s hand in marriage. TMZ caught up with the singer who stated:

‘I’m not [happy]. When your daughter gets married its just different. When he calls me I’ll figure it out.
Bobby isn’t the only one upset about the engagement. Many people are not happy about his daughter marrying her ‘brother.’ Houston took Gordon into her home when he was 16-years-old. At the time, and while growing up, he was acknowledged as Bobbi’s brother. Earlier this month took to Facebook to address the engagement:

YES, we me nick are engaged. I’m tired of hearing people say “eww your engaged to your brother or if Whitney was still alive would we be together or would she approve of this.” Let me clear up something, we aren’t even real brother and sister nor is he my adoptive brother. My mom never adopted him. In fact, mommy was the one who even said that she knew that we were going to start dating. My mom knows me better than any of you. A lot of yall are saying that yall are only saying this all out of love. Which is bull because if that was so, all you would want is for me to be happy. People need to seriously stop judging my relationship. Pretty sure it’s my own decision who I want to be with. Yes, my relationship may not be perfect. We will have rough patches, just like every other relationship. And we have had our rough patches. You may or may not agree with my relationship. You may or may not respect it. Judge me, go ahead. Your opinions are yours and mine are mine. It is my life and not yours. The decisions I make have nothing to do with you. Goodnight.
Not only did she stick up for her relationship, but her fiancé had a few things to say on twitter too:
The newly engaged couple were recently spotted in Florida celebrating their upcoming nuputials.




[Looks We Love] Rihanna In Slutz Crop Top & Rag & Bone Trousers
Rihanna Was spotted wearing this black MadeMe Slutz Sleeveless Crop Top ($45) and Rag & Bone Blue Moto Trousers ($185) that we just love!
The singer paired the look with her own River Island Rihanna Black Stiletto Sandals ($200) and Zanzan Sunglasses ($345).

Are we loving the look?



LHHATL’s K. Michelle has a new Boo!
Looks like K. Michelle found someone to fix her little “woohah” problem and it’s not Jack Daniels! 
On an episode of LHHATL, K. Michelle went to the doctor to get her lady business checked out. She claimed she had an issue getting things going without drinking.

Well doesn’t seem like she’s having that problem now! K. Michelle is dating Indiana Pacers player Lance Stephenson. As happy as she seems in the pictures, we can guess he’s the solution to her problem. He even bought her a puppy that they named Pacer.
Question is, was he the best choice for a boyfriend? Lance has been known to get a little physical with the opposite sex in the past. We would think K would stay away from guys like that after what she’s been through. The overly aggressive man seems to be the type she likes to bust it open for.
Nonetheless, we wish her all the best with her new boo thang!

Kelly Price Explains How She Taught Her Teenage Daughter That She Doesn’t Need A Weave To Be Beautiful + Why She Was Almost ‘Too Fat For Fame’
Seven-time Grammy award nominee Kelly Price has officially joined the world of reality TV. With only 2 weeks of TV One’s ‘R&B Divas LA‘ under her belt,My homie DC’s The Jasmine Brand caught up with the 40-year-old songwriter (at the African Pride Beauty Beat event), picking her brain about why she made the leap into non-scripted TV, being plus sized in the music industry and now in Hollywood, along with teaching her daughter about loving her natural hair. They also got the Queens, NY native to give them some relationship advice (she’s been married to her handsome husband for 20 + years!). Check out a few excerpts from the interview below.

What her experience has been like thus far, filming ‘R&B Divas’:
You don’t know what reality TV is until you do it…and now I know what reality TV is! I’m not turned off by it. I have actually had an animal awakened in me, and so with that I am going to pursue it in a manner that only Kelly Price can. And that for me coming off of the ‘R&B Divas’ experience is to pursue reality TV with a Kelly Price twist and that would be ‘Too Fat For Fame.’

The meaning behind the title of the upcoming reality show, ‘Too Fat For Fame’:
For me to have a story of one who was nearly denied a successful career because I was too big…it’s time for me to pay it forward.  Being an overweight girl, I am a worker. I’ve worked for everything it is that I have. So if there is anyone out there who is serious about having a career as a singer, as a model, as a dancer, as an actor, as an actress, as a personality in this industry…if they’re willing to work for it and they’ve had doors closed because they’re overweight, then this is the opportunity for them to have an opportunity.

How she is managing her weight:
I’ve had to learn how to adjust my eating to work for my lifestyle. I came to a point and I literally decided, I have been given an opportunity, there are people who are way more talented than Kelly. I’m not stupid. That’s just the truth. But I was given this opportunity so to let it pass me by, to die young and miss an incredible life because I couldn’t get myself disciplined enough to live would be stupid.

Raising her daughter to appreciate her hair:
Raising a young black girl in a society where they are being shown beauty is only one thing. It’s very difficult. To raise a young girl and to show her that anything is beautiful other than long, straight hair is not an easy job. I had a hard time trying to teach my daughter that ‘No you don’t need your hair pressed,’ and as she got older that ‘No you don’t need a weave…’ I think as black parents we have to be willing to fight the images that tell our daughters that unless that’s what they look like, they’re not beautiful.


Luvs me some Kelly!

Robin Thicke Calls Will.I.Am Difficult
R&B singer Robin Thicke found music producer Will.I.Am difficult to work with.

R&B star Robin Thicke struggled to connect with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am as they wrote his new song due to the rapper's "eccentric" behaviour.
Thicke, who is currently enjoying success with his hit track Blurred Lines which he penned with Pharrell Williams, collaborated with the rapper for his latest offering Give It 2 U, but found him difficult to get along with.
He tells Britain's BBC Radio 1, "The new single is with Kendrick Lamar, he's an amazing talent. I wrote it with will.i.am (who) isn't the easiest guy to get along with in certain respects. He's very eccentric."
However, Thicke was also quick to compliment his collaborator, adding, "(I) love that he's turned into the U.K. national treasure. He's a super talent."



Nipsey Hussle Detained At Trayvon Martin Rally for Allegedly Brandishing a Gun. LAPD Saw Nipsey With a Gun?? C'mon
Cops came down on rapper Nipsey Hussle in a big way in the middle of a Trayvon Martin protest rally last week ... handcuffing him after suspecting he was brandishing a gun.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... LAPD cops saw Nipsey doing something that made them believe he was walking around with a firearm. They descended on the rapper and cuffed him, but quickly determined he did NOT have a gun and they let him go.
It's unclear if Hussle was part of the rally, which took place in Leimert Park -- the scene of violence the night before.

Info about the show:

The heart of the Old South has a new set of faces taking the city by storm in Bravo Media’s docu-series, The New Atlanta, debuting Tuesday, September 17 at 10pm ET/PT.

Aggressive in both their professional and personal lives, each hopes to make their mark in the cutthroat industries of fashion, music, event planning and business while taking advantage of Atlanta’s hot social scene. Coming from a variety of backgrounds and bringing their own distinct perspectives, this new circle of the city’s rising elite includes: Alexandra Dilworth,Emily Lipman, Africa Miranda, Tribble Reese, andJevon “Vawn” Sims. Their work-hard, play-hard attitudes give them each an edge over their peers, but their journeys are not without a few bumps, hurdles and heartache along the way.
