Bruce Jenner Busted Cross Dressing? 
Bruce Jenner caught in cross dressing scandal.

In the latest proof that it is now impossible to walk away from a Kardashian marriage quietly, the new Star magazine cover story is claiming “Bruce Jenner Wants To Be A Woman” and that his estranged wife Kris Jenner is threatening to “expose his darkest secret” if he doesn’t handle the split the way she wants it handled.
A quote from the article in which Kim Kardashian allegedly found some feminine unmentionables in Bruce’s closet:
[Kim Kardashian] asked the housekeeper if she’d seen any lingerie, and the housekeeper said it was in Bruce’s closet. So Kim went inside Bruce’s closet and found tons of expensive lingerie that was all stretched out! She took it all and left. . .
Kim told [Bruce] she had his lingerie. He turned red and walked out. When Kim finally told her sisters, it became a running joke that Bruce wears lingerie. . .
A second source also claims to be aware of Bruce’s penchant for women’s underthings. “He’s always been feminine, so it doesn’t surprise me when I found out he was a cross dresser.
The Star magazine cover claims Bruce “has more dresses than Kim in his Malibu home” and implies that Bruce’s penchant for wearing women’s clothing (and apparently wanting to be a woman) is why she said recently, “I should never have divorced Robert Kardashian.”



Lady Gaga's NUDIE Cover Art For Her R. Kelly Collaboration 
Lady Gaga enlisted the skills of R. Kelly for her next single, "Do What U Want" off her ARTPOP disc (November 11th).  Taking a cue from Kim Kardashian, she tweeted the single's bootylicious cover art saying "Official Do What U Want Feat @RKelly Cover Art. Song Available this Monday 12:01am!'"
We'll see if the butt-exposing pic helps generate sales and airplay.....

NBA Legend Bill Russell Arrested Carrying Loaded Gun At Seattle Airport
Bill Russell was briefly detained and  released for allegedly carrying a handgun in his carry on luggage into a Seattle airport. Russell, who won 11 NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and coached of the Seattle Supersonics and Sacramento Kings. Bill Russell is gangsta….

According to the Seattle news station KIRO:
Russell was cited by Port of Seattle police on a state charge for allegedly bringing a handgun into a prohibited area. He has a permit for the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson, the station reported, but firearms are prohibited in carry-on baggage, where his handgun was found at a routine screening. The gun was confiscated and Russell was detained for about 30 minutes, according to the Boston Globe. In addition to any criminal charges, the 79-year old is likely to see a civil penalty of between $3,000 to $7,500.



Ryan Murphy and David Miller Buy New Home in Provincetown
And now for some completely different tea.  A well placed (and well-bred)  Tamara Tattles spy who resides in Provincetown, MA recently contacted me to announce the arrival of a new neighbor.  It seems the rich gay men of America are playing a game of musical houses.  Let’s start the story with Robert Duffy, President of Marc Jacobs.  According to Architectural Digest, Duffy recently moved into a very narrow Manhattan townhouse with his new daughter and a nanny. If you like reading about other people’s houses and interior design as I do, here is a little info on the new place.

“I get freaked out by a lot of space,” he (Duffy) says. “I looked at several townhouses in the city, but many of them were so big and overwhelming. I like small rooms—I’m a nester. I like things, and I like to touch and use them. I prefer everything to be within arm’s reach.” Duffy notes that his favorite room in the house is the compact front library. “I can just sit in there and work, and I’m so happy,” he explains. “I love the small blue leather chairs, even if my knees are up to my chin when I’m in them.”
” The result is an interior defined less by any particular style than by choice objects that reflect Duffy’s cultivated aesthetic. First-rate English furniture is scattered throughout. A pair of Delacroix watercolors accent the deep-red dining room, where monumental lacquer chinoiserie cabinets display Chinese porcelain and silver serving pieces. In the living room, portraits by Charles Webster Hawthorne (who helped establish Provincetown, Massachusetts, as an artists’ colony in the early 20th century) overlook a suite of Art Deco seating clad in a stamped velvet. Duffy’s bedroom, meanwhile, is outfitted with an 18th-century English secretary, a Biedermeier hamper, a series of black-and-white nude photographs by Sam Haskins, and a spectacular headboard made from Moroccan carved ceiling panels.”

Apparently, Duffy is so enchanted by his new townhouse set up, that he has parted with his Provincetown home on the bayfront (pictured at right). Duffy was married in the home in 2010 to his husband Alex.  Reports of dancing naked men at the wedding abound. Marc Jacobs was his best man.
Speaking of weddings in Provincetown, Ryan Murphy and David Miller got married there on July 4, 2012 I believe at the Red Inn but don’t quote me on that. Ryan and David recently purchased Duffy’s five thousand square foot bayfront property for $4.5 million. The interesting thing is the property was not publicly listed and seems to have been done based on an agreement between friends. VERY RICH friends.  Duffy seems to be in the mood to liquidate some assets lately as he also put his 19th mansion in Savannah on the market. Please don’t let that be where the Real Housewives of Atlanta stay on their soon-to-be televised trip. The price tag on the Provincetown home seems very high given the comps in the neighborhood, but perhaps Murphy doesn’t pay attention to price tags.

So Duffy is moving his gaybie and nanny to Greenwich Village, and Murphy and Miller are moving to (at least when Glee and AHS are not filming) Provincetown.  Murphy has been talking about babies ever since they got married so perhaps we will see more gaybies in Provincetown soon!



Survey Says: Black Women Are Portrayed Negatively in Media
*According to a survey of more than 1,200 respondents, which will appear in the November issue of Essence magazine, “negative imagery of Black women is often seen twice as frequently as positive imagery.”
They “told us that the images we encounter regularly on TV, in social media, in music videos and from other outlets are overwhelmingly negative and fall into categories that make us cringe — Gold Diggers, Modern Jezebels, Baby Mamas, Uneducated Sisters, Ratchet Women, Angry Black Women, Mean Black Girls, Unhealthy Black Women, and Black Barbies,” Dawnie Walton wrote last week in advance of the issue’s appearance on newsstands Friday.

“The study also revealed six types we feel we don’t see enough of in media, types we feel more genuinely reflect us and the Black women we know: Young Phenoms, Real Beauties, Individualists, Community Heroines, Girls Next Door and Modern Matriarchs. . . .”
Walton reported “surprising, bonus details and insights from our research”:

“85% of our Black women respondents reported they regularly see representations of Baby Mamas in media, while only 41% said they often see Real Beauties. The type seen least often? Community Heroines.” 
 “Modern Jezebels and Gold Diggers are the types that cause Black women the most embarrassment. . . .” 
 “Our Black respondents said the typologies that best represent the Black women they know in real life are the positive ones — including Real Beauties, Modern Matriarchs, Girls Next Door and Individualists. 
 “But non-Hispanic White women cited negative typologies as most representative of Black women they’ve encountered in real life — namely, Baby Mamas, Angry Black Women, Unhealthy Black Women and Uneducated Sisters. 
 “Younger women — ages 18-29 — were more likely than older women to be aware of negative typologies and also more likely to find them compelling. . . .” 
 “African-American women reported higher levels of happiness with their natural beauty and appearance, plus their spiritual lives and religious commitments. Meanwhile, White women reported higher satisfaction with their homes, their relationships with significant others, and their savings and investments.” 
 “Both Black and White women reported that the strongest influence for boosting their sense of worth is themselves. But while Black women cited their mothers as the second strongest influence, White women say they look to their significant others to lift them up. 
 “Interestingly, women who were compelled by negative typologies also reported they find physical features including lighter skin and straight hair to be most beautiful.” 
Krissah Thompson wrote about this study for the Washington Post and reported Thursday that, “The magazine’s study differs from other assessments of the portrayal of black women in the media in an important way: It proposes a solution.
“The problem with the current images is that they reflect extremity, according to the magazine and the researchers. The solution is to uplift images in the ‘invisible middle.’ Those include figures such as, ‘the acculturated girl next door,’ ‘community heroines,’ ‘young phenoms’ and ‘modern matriarchs.’

“Marketing expert Pepper Miller, who was interviewed by researchers for the report, wrote in her book ‘Black Still Matters [in Marketing]‘ that ‘there are the high profile celebrities, entertainers, and sports figures on one side, and the impoverished, crime-ridden, and down and out on the other. This flawed perception results in the rest of us — The Invisible Middle — being ignored and marginalized.’ “



Nas CHOPS it up with The Huffington Post
Life Is Good for rapper Nas who celebrated his 40th birthday this year.  He's got the relaunch of MASS APPEAL, a lucrative endorsement deal with Hennessy’s “Wild Rabbit”, apps like FANCY & Proven, a new clothing label HSTRY, and the 20th anniversary of his classic disc Illmatic.  Oh, and he's still fine.
Nas chopped it up with the HuffPost to reflect on his year, his future in the industry and what he hopes to accomplish with his next album and clothing line. Here are the highlights:

Next year will mark the 20-year anniversary of the release of "Illmatic." Are there any special plans underway to commemorate the milestone?
We’re putting together a concert. And I think we’re going to do something with the album and repackage it with special stuff. I think that’s in the works.

One particular track off the (next) album that has piqued fans' interest is, “Sinatra In The Sands,” featuring Justin Timberlake and Jay Z. What was the recording process like?
Excitement... Excitement to work and be in the place that we’re all are at, musically. Those are the guys who lasted the test of time, and those guys are at the top of their game. They’re just company to be in. So that’s the whole vibe of that. And of course the title says it all.

Lyrically, where are you taking fans on the track?
More like from a musician’s stand point, someone who’ve been around. Because Sinatra has been around and he has a long, long standing with the stage and the audience for years. And he evolved. His talent got better just like wine. And I think that’s something a lot of people want to achieve. So that’s what this song is really about. Striving to be the best you, like Sinatra had become.

In recent weeks you’ve been photographed in the studio with Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri. Will the collaboration appear on your album?
That’s on her album, and it’s a banger! [Yassssss!] I was excited to get back in the studio with her. She’s one of the greatest voices of our generation. She’s on another level. Just working with an artist that big really shows me how much further I can go. I’ve been inspired just sitting there talking to her. She’s very smart and extremely talented. And I’m just happy to work with her again.

Aside from the Hennessy campaign and music, you’ve also launched your new clothing line, HSTRY. How much input do you have in each design?
Total input on everything. From picking out fabric to the designs. It’s a collaborative effort between me and Grungy Gentleman. So what you’ve been seeing from HSTRY is not 100 percent HSTRY. It’s half HSTRY, half Grungy Gentleman. That was the way we launched it on that level. But the Spring collection is the next thing. We’re going to have some cool pieces this Winter. But next Spring is where my head is at, which will be 100 percent HSTRY.

Where do you envision your style in the fashion industry?
Just a great look, comfort, and quality. My thing spans from my 90s wear, where it’s all military, it’s all fatigue-style stuff, but just make it higher end and current. And also, the athletic styles of that time. Without revealing all my secrets, I have a wide range of ideas for HSTRY. It’s just unstoppable with all the directions I have for this thing. I’m excited to get that off the ground, and we’re just starting. It looks like 2014 is going to be another big year for me. 




Rihanna Effortlessly Slaying In Dubai
People talk about Rihanna always being naked…but this girl  can slay fully clothed…wish she did it more often, but I get it and she looks beautiful with the back drop. She is in concert for her Diamonds World Tour in Dubai. I guess she killed sometime taking these beautiful pics. Take a look at more pics below.
And people try to say she isn’t classy. You can’t fake being regal ! A picture is truly worth 1000 words.



Too Much, Too Little, Too Late: After 24 Years of Marriage, Master P’s Wife Demands Divorce
Single ladies on the rise here?
Late last week, news hit that yet another couple were heading toward divorce court. According to TMZ, Master P‘s wife, Sonya Miller, has filed for divorce, after 24 years of marital bliss. Why you ask? “Irreconcilable differences.” The couple shares six children including their well-known rapper turned actor, Romeo.
What’s more? In 2011, it was reported that Sonya took Master P court requesting child support for four of their children who were minors, as she was allegedly only receiving $271 monthly. Have you ever heard of a woman receiving child support while still married? Me neither. Anywho, outside of asking for spousal support, no further information has yet been released.



2 Chainz Calls Kelly Rowland 2nd Best!!!

The new joint also features Big Sean, French Montana, Meek Mill, Ace Hood and Timbaland. But its 2 Chainz verse that's got everybody up in arms when he says the following:
