COUPLES LOVE: LaLa & Carmelo Anthony + Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon STEAM UP The February 2014 EBONY Magazine Covers
This may look like the cover of a Harlequin style romance novel, but we're just happy to see somebody new on one of these mags. LaLa and NY Knicks baller Carmelo Anthony are showing off their love for Ebony's Couples Issue. And we're sure the Motives makeup guru LaLa will be dishing her relationship advice in the cover story, all for promotion of her first book, The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness.
The couple has been married for three years and together for over a decade (including some recent rocky times they made it through). So we're sure they have some good advice to dish up to the masses.
When asked what ignites their love and how they maintain the passion in their relationships, the twosome said:
“There were people coming in and out of my life, and I didn’t really know whom to trust. She was one of the people who stood by my side through thick and thick. Even to this day, she’s always right there.”
–Carmelo Anthony
“…We knew no matter what, we wanted each other. We needed [to be] in each other’s life, and that’s what’s been able to sustain this relationship all those years.”
–La La Anthony
But the Anthonys aren't the only cover couple. Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey are on a second cover posing it up. In a pool. While fully dressed. Including shoes. Gotta love them. Reportedly, the two hard workers are dishing in their cover story about their 5-year marriage and Dem Babies.
When asked about maintaining their love and passion, they said:
“It was early on when I found out how spiritual she was, and we had conversations about kids and how to live life. For her to share these values, it instantly let me know this is the person I’ve always wanted.”
–Nick
"Having babies definitely strengthened our bond because all the love that you have for each other is manifested into these two incredible beings.” –Mariah
Actors David and Tamela Mann are on the third cover. And advice from the veteran couple:
“Stay in love because when you’re in love, it covers a multitude of fault. Our relationship wasn’t based on good sex or having a lot of money. It was based on just straight friendship. That’s what has kept us.”
–David
“I pray and ask God to keep my heart and my eyes burning only for David Mann. I speak his name in my prayers, because I want the desire to stay, so when he touches me, I get chills.”
–Tamela
The issue is on newsstands NOW.

Film Critic Armond White Denies Heckling Dir. Steve McQueen with ‘F— you. Kiss My Ass’
Taking to the stage on Monday at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards ceremony, Steve began to give a speech about his film - which is set in a pre-Civil War United States.
However, Steve's speech was interrupted by Armond White, who had previously labelled 12 Years A Slave as 'torture porn' in a scathing review.
Variety reports that the critic shouted from the back of the room: 'You’re an embarrassing doorman and garbage man,' Adding: 'F*** you. Kiss my a**'.
Yet, on Tuesday, NYFCC chairman Joshua Rothkopf apologized to 12 Years a Slave distributor Fox Searchlight and McQueen for 'the crass bit of heckling.'
In the e-mail letter, first posted online by Deadline Hollywood, Rothkopf said he was 'mortified' that it came from one of the group's own members and pledged 'disciplinary action.'
White, an editor for CityArts, is known for his contrarian film reviews. He panned 12 Years a Slave as 'torture porn.'
Stars attend the New York Film Critics Circle Awards Emotional: Steve McQueen appeared to be teary-eyed when he was introduced to the stage by legendary performer Harry Belafonte
In response to questions by e-mail, White disputed reports about his awards-night behavior but declined to explain what he said of McQueen.
'The barrage of lies, misreporting, unsubstantiated sources and made-up quotes is dismaying,' White said.
'The awards themselves, and the highlights of the evening, such as James Toback and Peter Bogdanovich's praise for best-picture winner "American Hustle," have been forgotten in the melee.'
Founded in 1935, the New York Film Critics Circle is one of the most prestigious critics groups in the country, made up of 38 New York-area critics. White has previously served as chairman.
The show must go on: Steve is said to have carried on which his speech regardless of the heckles he received
It was certainly an unwelcome interruption, after legendary singer Harry Belanfonte had given a moving introduction.
Steve is said to have been teary eyed when accepting his award for Best Director.
However, Variety claim that the director ignored the abuse, and carried on regardless with his speech.
The publication also revealed that it isn't the first time the controversial critic has heckled a movie.
In 2011, the critic attacked performances by Annette Bening and Michelle Williams, and in 2012 'jeered' at Robert DeNiro.
Meanwhile, Steve recently revealed that he believes Hollywood
The BAFTA Award-winning director's critically acclaimed historical drama 12 Years A Slave is based on the real life story of Solomon Northup - a free African-American who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841.
However, McQueen doesn't think there have been enough films made which address slavery, especially by comparison to the numbers of movies based on other periods of history.
He told Sky News: 'People somehow do not want to look at this particular time in history.
Rihanna Got A Thang For Mychal Kendrick of The Philadelphia
Rihanna raised quite a stir on Instagram this morning when she posted up a photo of Philadelphia Eagles football player, Mychal Kendrick!! Not only did she post up a photo of the player who resembles Chris Brown somewhat, but she captioned the photo with "Is it Monday? Cuz chhhh....#MCM".
I have to admit I was floored that Rihanna pulled such a move because I'm sure someone was on the horn with her in a heartbeat about it, but hell!!! If she likes it, I love it!! However, its quite clear to the world that Rihanna has a type! Whether Mychal Kendrick looks like Chris Brown or not, one things for sure. Rihanna loves them light skinned men!

So what do you guys think? Does Mychal Kendrick look like Chris Brown? Or does Rihanna just have a type?
Cynthia Bailey: ‘All You Can Do Is Love Your Children’
“All You can do is love your children.” That’s what Cynthia Bailey says when discussing the last episode of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ where she was brought to tears after being criticized by NeNe Leakes for allowing Noelle to date at the age of thirteen.
“My mother did not have all the right answers when she was raising me, and neither do I,” says Bailey. “All you can do is love your children and keep the communication open so that they feel confident coming to you for support and guidance. I am confident in my decision to allow ‘parentally supervised’ dating for my 14-year-old. It may not work for everyone, but it works for us. I stand firm in my decision, and will continue to do so until I feel otherwise.”
Bailey came under fire a few weeks ago when good friend NeNe Leakes told her that she starkly disagreed with her decision to allow her teen daughter to date. “Cynthia is very clear on where I stand about teenage dating (13-year-old dating to be exact),” wrote NeNe in a blog post after the show. “I think it’s too young, and I won’t be changing my opinion EVER! Not for Cynthia, not for you, not for anybody.”
Although the two still disagree, Cynthia tells fans that she and Leakes are in a good place. “I don’t have an issue with anyone disagreeing with me (as I know I am not always right) and having an opinion. We all have an opinion, and should stand firm on what we feel and believe.”
Noelle is Bailey’s daughter with actor, Leon Robinson.

Wendy Williams shows off her taut stomach... and the tattoo she got to cover tummy tuck scar
By her own admission, Wendy Williams is not a huge fan of the tattoo on her stomach.
But the outspoken talkshow host, seen here making a splash in a bikini, has no regrets and has previously admitted it was etched on to cover a scar left from a tummy tuck.
Wendy, 49, is seen here standing in brilliant turquoise waters, striking a pose that shows off her flexibility and toned physique.
The New Jersey
Her stomach appears taut in the photo, revealing an exotic star and vine tattoo spanning the width of her stomach.
In a 2012 interview when she talked about posing nude for animal activist organisation PETA, Wendy explained:'I got my tattoo to cover my tummy tuck mark.
'I'm not really one that likes tattoos. I still stand by that. I don't particularly like that one, but I'd rather have that than the cut [mark].'
Wendy had a tummy tuck six months after giving birth to son Kevin Jr in 1999; she has also admitted to other surgery, including a breast augmentation.
Wendy captioned her Instagram photo: 'I know it's FREEZING, but I'll be BACK TOMORROW with all NEW SHOWS and JUICY, JUICY #HOTTOPICS...get ready...I AM!!! Happy New Year!'
Unfortunately, her plans to make it back in time for the show were foiled by the weather.
Early on Monday, she posted to her social media accounts the following message: 'I'm sooooooo upset that I couldn't make today's show. We have soooooo much to cover and I miss u DEARLY. But I'm working on getting a sled if need be....HOT TOPICS CAN'T BE STOPPED...SEE U TUESDAY! I love you all for watching. Xox.'
She kept her followers updated, posting another image to her Instagram and Twitter accounts once she made it on the plane.
It shows her arm, propped up on the window ledge, with a wrist full of bracelets and her hand decked out in jeweled rings.
She captioned it: 'Its been a long day of travel, but this flight is taking me home to u!!! I promise u full chit chat, tea & giggles tmrw!!! :-)'
So Chuck Smith Slept With Tamar Braxton and Tboz?
I know Chuck is wishing him and his wife never, ever came on RHOA, because all of his business is being aired out for the world to see. Apparently Bravo had to edit out the fact that Chuck slept with Tamar Braxton and T-boz. All of this because he tried to play Phaedra and Kandi saying that he never dated them… They were only cut buddies. Tamar Braxton has yet to spill if she and Chuck Smith were dating, before she married Vince Herbert. But this makes for an interesting storyline.
Remember we told you yesterday about TLC’s girl talk being about Chuck and his small package Kandi’s lyrics on Girl Talk further discusses the man disrespecting his woman during the relationship. After the breakup, the girl fumes that the man shouldn’t be surprised that she talks about his physique to his friends after he allegedly treated her wrong. Kandi’s lyrics state “If you don’t want the girl to talk, and you don’t want your feelings hurt, put in work, because if you don’t that girl’s just gon’ go spreadin’ the word [about your body].” This week, Don Juan, Kandi’s manager, first tipped word that Girl Talk was allegedly about Chuck Smith. Don Juan retweeted “listen to a hit TLC not scrubs about him… she he always mad”.
Which would explain Chuck and why he is probably trying to play Kandi out this season. Read the rest at Funky Dineva
Naked Pic Leaker Exposes MORE On Sexcapades With Baller Geno Smith & Rapper Future
Jackie Presley recently did an interview with Kareem Williams about this naked pic scandal. She revealed she's originally from Cincinnati , moved to Atlanta
And she met NFL star Geno originally in Charlotte when he told her to pick im up from the "Team Hotel", during what we assume was a game weekend we assume, because no one was allowed to chill inside.
She admitted in the interview:
"I was involved with an NFL player named Geno Smith. I leaked his naked picture on a blog site."
P.S. Jackie said she LOVES nursing school....because she LOVES helping people.
Obviously. And apparently, in all ways possible.
As for why she exposed his stick and berries, she said he was an asshole, disrespectful, and there were no "pros" to her being involved with him. And she was involved with two other athletes and there WERE pros to getting it poppin' with them.
Jackie (we would love to know how old this chick is) claims she regrets dealing with him. And even though she kept saying "there were no pros at all to dealing with him", she later said, "Well, the sex was good."
As for if she was led to believe she was Geno's main chick...she said No.
"The last day that I saw him was Christmas Day and I came to New York and I went over his house later on in the day around 6p and he lived about 50 mins away in a city called Hanover , NJ
I was furious for like a day or two. What if I didn't have no money? I just felt like he disrespected me. You told me to come here and you were paying for something. Then it's time to leave and you're not paying for it? So two days later I just ended up going off."
So it sounds like, and it's just our take on this, she put Mr. Smith on blast because he treated her like the jump-off that she was. Mistresses, jump-offs and prostitutes these days seem to believe they should be treated with the utmost sweetness, respect & care as if they're the wife.
She said, sounding still bitter about it, "I don't think he forgot, I just think he didn't care. Why couldn't I go with him if we were both going to NY? He didn't care."
Well, Jackie, we can almost guarantee he didn't care. Maybe you learned your lesson about why being a jumpoff isn't a badge of honor like some chicks seem to think these days. Basicdom never wins.
When asked if she only dates with rappers and ballers, she said, "I don't only look for money, but I do like men who are tall and established. I mean, I'm about to graduate from nursing school so if I'm making money, he should be making money."
Oh, and she admitted to being "in a jump-off situation" with rapper Future in the past as well. And her past two NBA player flings, as well as Future, "never treated her this way." And she's still "friends" with the NBA players. Peep the full interview below if you can stand an hour of basicness:

Ludacris Claims His NEWEST Baby Mama Extorted Him For A CAR!
As for Ludacris and his newly revealed baby-mama situation, things are getting ugly.
As you may know, a woman named Tamika Fuller filed papers to get child support and to keep Ludacris and his girlfriend away from the baby girl. It's not clear as to why since she was the alleged side chick as Ludacris has been with Eudoxie Agnan (pictured above) for years.
But now, Luda is claiming that Tamika attempted to EXTORT him for a car in order for her to remain quiet about their lovechild. TMZ reports:
Ludacris filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he reveals the drama behind his child support fight with Tamika Fuller. He asked the judge back in September to issue a gag order because he is "a major celebrity of great notoriety."
Luda argued ... throughout the U.S. -- and even in Georgia
Of course, the judge wasn't trying to hear Luda . And that's why we ALL know about his jump-off activities.
The folks over at Straight From The A have pics from Tamika's recent baby shower...which she reportedly purposely used to trick Ludacris into thinking they were having a boy. Blue-filled shower...but she actually had a baby girl named Cai Bella Bridges.
Actor Tom Hanks says he has type 2 diabetes
Actor Tom Hanks has said that he has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the metabolic disease.
Hanks, 57, told late night talk show host David Letterman on Monday that he had been battling high blood sugar for some time.
“I went to the doctor, and he said, ‘You know those high blood-sugar numbers you’ve been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you’ve graduated! You’ve got type 2 diabetes, young man,’” Hanks said on CBS network’s “Late Show with David Letterman.”
“It’s controllable,” said Hanks, who was on the show to promote his upcoming film “Captain Phillips.”
“Something’s going to kill us all, Dave,” the Oscar-winning actor said, joking with the host.
Type 2 diabetes affects the body by either not producing enough insulin, the hormone that turns sugar into energy, or by resisting insulin.It affects about 24 million Americans and accounts for the more than 90 percent of diabetes cases diagnosed in the United States, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It can be life-threatening if not treated.
Nicki Minaj Pregnant By Lil Wayne?
If Nicki’s going to be pregnant by anybody, it would be her longtime kept man Safaree. Even though Lil Wayne and Nicki have claimed to be like brother and sister, I’m pretty sure they’ve tipped the scale a time or two..
According to Sohh
While Nicki has not addressed the rumors, gossip sites claim Nicki is sporting a baby bump these days thanks to Weezy F. Baby.
The duo, known for their brother-sister type relationship, is said to be birthing a child together in the near future. Rumors began swirling after numerous urban websites began to report the claim. ThyBlackMan.com alleges they “recently got word” that “indeed Nicki Minaj is pregnant. To add fire to this drama Lil Wayne supposedly is the father to be,” the website adds, “It seems like Nicki Minaj was just having a fun night and got pregnant.” One insider apparently also spotted the rapper sporting what appeared to be a baby bump while out to dinner January 2. The snitch adds Minaj made a conscious decision to stick with water that night, which is out of character for the star, who normally consumes alcohol. “Nicki twice made toasts by drinking water instead of wine, and it’s highly unusual for her to toast with anything but a full glass of wine.” (RumorFix)
If this is true I wonder if he’s going to pull a we were on a “BREAK” excuse with his girlfriend/fiance Dhea? Or maybe this is a PR stunt by Nicki’s camp, because you know she is working on a new album….
Chris Brown Puts Hollywood Hills Home Up For Sale

Wayne Brady: ‘I Am NOT Dating Chilli!’
It’s only January, but we were hoping that cupid was getting an early start in the love department. Early Monday (January 6), news broke that comedic actor and TV host Wayne Brady was dating TLC’s Chilli (real name Rozonda Ocelean Thomas). Reportedly, the two were spotted together, holding hands on Friday night at some point during TLC’s concert in Las Vegas
They were so cute, stopping to take pictures with fans. He kept her close to him the whole time.
Another source added:
It has only been two weeks but they really like each other. They’ve been friends for years but there has always been this flirtation. Both of them had a hard time being single, so they love dating a friend and someone in the business. They make a really great couple.
Rumor has it, the two have dated over a year ago, but nothing serious became of it. After news hit of their budding romantic relationship, Wayne
So, just clear it up @officialchilli are not dating. Who wouldn’t want to though, right? Don’t believe everything u read:)
Chilli joined in by retweeting his, We’re Not A Couple message. We’re not sure if this is a cover-up attempt to try and keep their relationship private or if they’re simply platonic friends.
The Whose Line Is It Anyway star was previously married to Diana Lasso for two years until their split in 1995. He also was married to Mandie Taketa from 1999 to 2008, with whom he has 10-year-old daughter Maile. Chilli has never been married, but had a high profile relationship with Usher for three years. Early in her career, she also dated music producer Dallas Austin, with whom they have a 17-year-old son named Tron.
Benzino & Stevie J Open Up A SLEAZY & ZINO's Restaurant
Apparently, Stevie J. and Benzino think their on-sceen sleaze and drama makes for a good place to sell food and drinks. So they opened up Sleazy & Zino, downtown ATL's newest restaurant and bar, to capitalize off their "brands". And the big launch party that you may or may not have heard about actually went down on New Year's Eve.
According to Hip Hop Weekly, " ...It is an upscale facility with a theme-restaurant style approach, where the food and drink menus all tie into characters and other elements associated with the TV show."
Oh.
It was all hosted by the new Atlanta-based independent label E.A.T. Entertainment (which we assume Benzino and Stevie have a hand in as well--but we're not too sure.)
Benzino brought his new girlfriend along (pictured above at the party), R&B singer Thi Thi (of course). She also used the launch party to debut her new single, “Ghetto Love." Oh why....
And by the way the new spot is hosting their first "event" of the year.
So, who's down for wings, drinks, soups and pimp tips...all provided by a couple of the sleaziest men on TV?
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
