Oprah Winfrey Fronts O Magazine January 2014 For Her 60th Birthday
Her 60th birthday is just around the corner and Oprah Winfrey reflects on her past in the January 2014 issue of O magazine
While donning a gorgeous gold gown for the Ruven Afanador-shot spread, the 59-year-old talk show host opens up about her experiences over the years and chats about how she stays positive.
"I’m alive. Healthy. Strong. I’m turning 60," Miss Winfrey explained. "And – please don’t take offense – I no longer have to be concerned about what anyone thinks of me! I’m turning 60, and I’ve earned the right to be just as I am. I’m more secure in being myself than I’ve ever been."
In regards to her biggest achievements, Oprah stated, "Never shutting my heart down. Even in my darkest moments – through sexual abuse, a pregnancy at 14, lies and betrayals – I remained faithful, hopeful, and open to seeing the best in people, regardless of whether they were showing me their worst."
"I stayed open to believing that no matter how hard the climb, there is always a way to let in a sliver of light to illuminate the path forward," she added.
Kandi Burruss Breaks Down In Tears On "WWHL" After FOOLISH Mama Joyce SHOE FIGHT On"RHOA", Fantasia Hits Up The Show
After Mama Joyce's foolywang behavior on Sunday’s episode of "RHOA", Kandi Burruss went on "WWHL" to chop it up with Andy Cohen and Fantasia about where she and her mom stand now.
So Kandi got all emotional when speaking about why she won't put her foot down when it comes to demanding rspect from her mother, Joyce. And apparently, she hasn't done so with her aunts either. They took over that episode like the Golden Girls division of the Crips & Bloods. Straight bullying and fighting...or at least attempting to. And then lying about it.
When Kandi hit the "WWHL" club house a caller asked her the obvious question we all know the answer to. A caller wanted to know if Kandi thought her mother was being so overly judgmental, rude and disrespectful with Todd because she's concerned about how much of Kandi's money SHE will now have access to, Kandi acted like she didn't understand the question. Of course.
She went into defense mode and broke down in tears saying that she will always take care of her mom because her mom took care of her. She further revealed that even though her mother isn't speaking to her right now, she will still always take care of her monetarily.
What Kandi doesn't get is, nobody has an issue with her taking care of her mother. But many have an issue with the way her mother treats her and her loved ones....ESPECIALLY when Kandi takes care of her. So until Kandi grows a pair and lays down the law in a respectful way--even if that means giving her mama an ultimatum--she will be single and friendless come 2015 and beyond.
And if you're wondering if Mama Joyce has found a man of her on finally, Kandi talked about her mom's dating life. Apparently Joyce is "dating someone right now". Yeah, we're shocked as well.
The only things we garnered from this: Kandi's mama and her rat pack are ratchet and really doing the most. And we now know where Kandi gets her unique way of speaking...UGH!

Rapper The ‘Game’ Gets ANOTHER Tat; This Time It’s Nelson Mandela’s Face
The Game is known for his fully tatted body… He has a tat of President Obama, Trayvon Martin and quite a few other sentimental tats. This time he went and got a full tat of an image of the late Nelson Mandela.
The Game & the tattoo artist tweeted about the tat:
“The finished “Nelson Mandela” lookin out of the prison bars by @NikkoHurtado done on my side. 7 hour sitting….”
“Few more hours to tie in the tats around it & we solid. #NelsonMandela #RIP #Legend #Leader #Freedom #Peace #Equality #Tattoos #SouthAfrica.”
Nikko Hurtado, also added:
“A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don’t have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.” #NelsonMandela Tattoo collector [The Game] In the arm pit area! Ouch.
Peep the tat below….
Nice
R. Kelly Tweets #AskRKelly Tag, Black Twitter Gives Him The Business
R. Kelly released his latest studio album, Black Panties, today (December 10) and decided to take to Twitter earlier to open the communication lines a bit. After a tweet featuring an “#AskRKelly” hashtag, a barrage of hilarious slander came in the direction of the Chicago crooner via the social media network. Duck for cover, because this gets kinda ugly.
It all began innocently enough with fans of the veteran R&B artist asking the general questions, but it didn't take long for Twitter users to unleash the verbal Kraken on Kells. After long-standing allegations of preying on underage girls, many of the jokes aimed at R. Kelly involved that particular angle.
There's also the curious video that we shouldn't have to mention here that got some joke burn too.
Well I think you get the pic. However watch the CD sell!

Louisiana Teen Who Killed 5-Year-Old Sister With WWE Moves Sentenced To 5 Years
Hip-Hop music catches negative press for its sometime violent overtones but brutal programming such as UFC and the WWE seemingly get a pass.
A 13-year-old boy may set those beliefs in the opposite direction after he has been convicted for the killing of his 5-year-old sister by emulating the moves he learned on TV from WWE superstars John Cena and Mark Henry.
Reports NOLA:
Devalon Armstrong had admitted he killed Viloude Louis, 5, with the "John Cena Slam" and the "Mark Henry Slam," named for the wrestlers he emulated, when he threw his body or elbow into the petite girl's torso 15 to 20 times at the family's apartment on June 16. He pleaded guilty in November to negligent homicide, reduced from a manslaughter charge, and faced a sentence ranging from probation to five years in a juvenile detention center.
The boy's sister told him that he was hurting her, but he continued to slam, punch and elbow her for at least two to three more minutes before he stopped to take a telephone call from their mother, Fortunato said.
Devalon told investigators he knew that television wrestling such as WWE is fake. But Vasquez noted he smiled and appeared to enjoy talking about the wrestling moves, Fortunato said.
The WWE released a statement at the time of the incident sharing their remorse but citing "criminal intent to harm and a lack of parental supervision" as the culprit. Vilger Louis, the little girl's father said his stepson was likely to commit another crime if was able to be let off the hook because of his young age.
Do you feel like the young Armstrong will learn right from wrong during his stint in juvenile detention or is he a menace to society in the making?
Matthew Knowles Denies Being A DEAD Beat Father
I see Matthew Knowles is defending himself. Knowles is denying claims that he’s fallen behind on child support payments for his son with his former mistress Alexsandra Wright.
While Knowles was married to Beyoncé’s mother Tina, he allegedly had an extramarital affair that with a woman named Alexsandra Wright, which resulted in their 3-year-old son named Nixon. Now, Wright’s brother Jonathan Wright is telling Radar Online that Knowles owes $24,000 in child support and refuses to meet his son.
Mathew Knowles’ reps tell Sister 2 Sister
“There have been several media reports [this week] suggesting that Mr. Knowles has a delinquency concerning his child support obligation to Ms. Alexsandra Wright.”
“At this point, Mr. Knowles’ financial advisers indicate that he is current concerning that obligation.”
“Mr. Knowles takes his obligation related to the support of his son very seriously.”
While Knowles has since remarried former model and realtor Gena Charmaine last summer, the member from Knowles’ legal team has gone on to say that he keeps up with his commitments to his son.
