Hillary On 2016: I'm Not In A Hurry
New York Magazine has published Hillary Clinton's first major interview since leaving the Obama administration. The Washington Post excepts her comments on the 2016 election:

"I’m both pragmatic and realistic. I think I have a pretty good idea of the political and governmental challenges that are facing our leaders, and I’ll do whatever I can from whatever position I find myself in to advocate for the values and the policies I think are right for the country. I will just continue to weigh what the factors are that would influence me making a decision one way or the other. I’m not in any hurry. I think it’s a serious decision, not to be made lightly, but it’s also not one that has to be made soon. This election is more than three years away, and I just don’t think it’s good for the country. It’s like when you meet somebody at a party and they look over your shoulder to see who else is there, and you want to talk to them about something that’s really important; in fact, maybe you came to the party to talk to that particular person, and they just want to know what’s next. I feel like that’s our political process right now. I just don’t think it is good."
According to a CNN poll published last week, 65% of Democrats say they would support Clinton in a primary…..h/t JMG

Teyana Taylor Goes Off On Rihanna During Twitter Rant Over Instagram Video
Who knew Rihanna and Teyana Taylor were beefin’? Yeah, I didn’t know either.
Teyana went off on Twitter accusing the “Umbrella” singer of poking fun of a recent video she recorded singing Anita Baker‘s “Caught Up In the Rapture”.


Here’s what Teyana had to say…
Well, that was a mouthful.
Two weeks ago Teyana posted the below Instagram video with the caption, “I’m, caught up in Tha rapture of love…..”
And here’s the infamous video Rihanna posted earlier this morning with the caption, “Bitches be like…yasssss @yusefhairnyc”

Our only question is, but why?
Could it be because Teyana was actually the one to hook up Rihanna’s ex, Chris Brown, with current on-again girlfriend and her close friend Karrueche Tran? Oh boy, shall we really go down this road again?

Do you think Rihanna was being petty or is Teyana over-reacting and this is all just a coincidence?




The ‘Real’ Basketball Wives Meet for Annual ‘Behind the Bench’ Conference
I’ll admit, when I hear the term ‘basketball wife‘, the first thing that comes to mind is VH1′s popular reality show, Basketball Wives, starring women who, by chance are no longer married to professional basketball players. And while I’m certainly entertain weekly, theres another side of NBA wives. ‘Behind the Bench’, The National Basketball Wives Association, is an organization composed of current and retired NBA players’ wives and their life partners.
Peep some of the candid shots of their annual conference.
Recently, the group held their annual conference which included community service, a charity event and a few parties. We spotted a few familiar NBA wives including: Tracey Mourning, Kristina Ratliff, Renee Taplin Jones, Deidra Toney, Dee Brown and Natosha Dooling.

Carmelo Anthony's Jordan Melo M10 [PHOTOS]
Jordan Brand held their Holiday Preview for the press. Of all the kicks and gear we got a sneak peak at, one shoe that particularly caught our eye was Carmelo Anthony's Jordan Melo M10 signature sneaker.
The shoe won't be available until 2014, but from the looks of the model it is easily one of Anthony's best looking shoes to date. Technology wise, it incorporates the Flight Plate technology that was debuted in the Jordan XX8. A particularly nice detail was the the "M" seamlessly designed into the toe box when you're looking down at the show when wearing it. The silver rendition of Melo's name in script serves as the heel counter. Expect to see Melo rocking these himself around Christmas time.
Check out images of the Melo M10 as well as Carmelo Anthony's new Jordan apparel
Also worth noting, as rumored, Anthony's Melo 1.5 will be getting the retro treatment, the first for a Jordan Brand player who isn't the Jumpman logo himself.



Lamar Odom’s Father Blames His Sons Drug Problems on The Kardashians
The 33-year-old basketball player wed the 29-year-old reality TV star in September 2009 but his father, Joe, wants them to end their four-year marriage in light of allegations Lamar has been cheating and is a drug user as Joe believes these accusations have come from image conscious Khloe and her famous family.
“They brought him down,” Joe told Heat magazine. “He would be better off without them. I think the best thing for him would be to have a clean break and divorce Khloe.
”She’s been talking trash about my son, saying he’s on drugs and stuff like that. I don’t think she cares about Lamar, she just cares about their image and money.”

The Kardashian women – which also includes mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney and Kim – were catapulted into the spotlight following the success of their reality TV show ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ and he believes they keep up appearances when in the public eye but behind closed doors they’re not as nice.

He added: ”I wish he had never got married to Khloe. She’s controlling. Those Kardashian women all are.
”In public she’s nice, but if you see her personally you see the real person. The mother’s like that, too.”
Joe was also furious about elder sister Kim’s alleged reaction to reports of Lamar’s drug abuse, and lashed out at her while referring to the sex tape she made with former boyfriend Ray J.

He added: ”I heard Kim said they don’t have crackheads in their family. That pissed me off. Look at where she came from. We don’t want porno stars in our family.”

WOW!!!

Blake Griffin Just Became A Baby's Daddy....To NFL QB Matt Leinart's Baby's Mama!
Well here's a shocker.  LA Clippers star Blake Griffin had time to make a baby during the last NBA season.  Because, according to a circulating birth certificate, he and 27-year-old blondie Brynn Cameron welcomed a bouncing baby named Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin on August 1st.

Brynn is a former USC basketball player.  But she's most known for sharing a 7-year-old son named Cole Cameron Leinart with NFL QB Matt Leinart, who was just released from the Buffalo Bills last month.  The two broke up before she had the baby and had some serious child support drama going on.  That's all been smoothed over with Brynn getting a cool $15K/month, but will it all start up again with Blake?

The twosome started dating back in 2011, but broke up before the baby was born.
As for how Brynn & Blake met, aside from her apparent get-sponsored-by-an-athlete skills....

Brynn's younger brother, Jordan Cameron, also was a USC athelete who entered the NFL. Right before the 2011 draft, Blake Griffin helped Jordan make a funny video to get the scouts' attention. 
So Blake & Brynn possibly could have met through Jordan. Brynn's brother explained how he first met Blake in an interview last year with Cleveland.com:
"My roommate in college was James Dunleavy and his dad was the Clippers coach at the time. So we kind of got him acclimated to town and showed him around. We started hanging out from that. We had an idea for a video and my agent got involved, and it took off from there."


Blake has yet to address his new offspring on any of his social media outlets or anywhere else.  Guess he's taking pointers from Dwight Howard.

Congrats on new daddyhood Blake!



Gwyneth Paltrow: I Can Forgive A Cheater
She never seems to have any trouble sharing her opinion, and now Gwyneth Paltrow admits why cheating and sex addiction wouldn't bother her the slightest.
During her interview with Refinery 29 about her upcoming flick "Thanks For Sharing," the 40-year-old actress reveals why she believes dating a sex addict isn't a big deal.
"I'm an extremely open-minded person, so I think if it was something I knew I was getting myself into, I wouldn't let it deter me from exploring the relationship," Miss Paltrow explains.

She continues, "I think the if the idea of being committed to someone is important to you, you begin to value certain parts of your social life over another. No couple is the same, and as such every couple takes on different challenges."
Also revealing her thoughts on cheaters, Gwyneth states, "I would like to think that I would be forgiving and/or forgiven, but I can't give an honest answer as I haven't really experience that."
