Nia Long Covers ESSENCE's April 2014 Issue

Before her new movie Single Moms Club hits theaters next week (March 14th), Nia Long is dishing about her own mothering skills and why she doesn't need help from anyone to raise her household.

She said in her new Essence cover story:

"I'm not a movie star mom who's got a private chef, a nanny and a driver.  My mantra is, 'You created this, you can handle it.'"

So it's just Nia, who recently starred in the box office hit Best Man Holiday, and her man Ime Udoka (an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs) raising their two boys, 13-year-old Massai (from Nia's previous relationship) and 2-year-old Kez.  But they seem to have it under control.

She gushed about what they do in their down time that she's happy no one can see:

"I think that if you're committed to being a great mother, single or not, you're going to enjoy every moment you have with your children.  I love when it's just the three of us and no one can see how silly we're acting. The preciousness of it all makes the tough days a little bit easier."

Awww.  Nia even has her oldest son starring in the Single Moms Club movie with her.  But he wasn't just handed the role, he had to try out:

"I was so nervous Massai wouldn’t get the job. I didn't want to have to break disappointing news, so I explained to him that as long as he gave it his best that's all that mattered.  I also told him that life has highs and lows, wins and losses. Just as I was saying all this, the phone rang. It was my agent with the good news. We did the happy dance and started packing our bags."

And how did little Massai repay mom?  With a seriously sweet letter.  In part, it read:

"Filming The Single Moms Club was a lot of fun. It was awesome working with you, and I can't imagine how hard it would have been if you weren't there.  Now I really understand how hard you work."

"You are loving, and are always there for me and my little brother...You have taught me to have a voice and fear nothing but the Lord."

How adorable is this?!

Atlanta Woman Arrested For Breaking into Justin Bieber’s Home

The thirst is real in these Atlanta streets, Sandy Springs Police arrested a woman they found sleeping inside the metro Atlanta home where Justin Bieber is living.

According to a press release, a family member found 23-year-old Qianying Zhao of Doraville, sleeping in one of the home’s bedrooms shortly after 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

She told police she entered the unoccupied home through an unlocked door. She said she was there to attend Bieber’s birthday party, which was held earlier in the week at another location. She originally said she was friends with the singer. However, it is believed that she is one of millions who follow Bieber on Twitter. She was taken to the Fulton County Jail Annex in Alpharetta and booked on misdemeanor criminal trespass.

The picture above tells me homegirl ain’t wrapped too tight. Just give her some Thorazine and let her be great, I’m just glad she wasn’t black!

Nicki Minaj Posts Naked Shower Selfies (PHOTOS)

Nicki Minaj must think that they best way to keep her millions of followers paying attention and clicking on ads is to post herself in various modes of undress.

.Anyway, here are a few of the pics for you to view, if you are so inclined.

This is not surprising since Nicki is following in the tradition of celebrities past and present who compensate for their lack talent by taking off their clothing for us.Nicki is not particularly good looking and has had massive amounts of work done on her body – from breast implants to butt fillers – all as she tries desperately to look how she thinks a hip hop girl should.

Bobbi Kris -- I'm 21 Now...And Got (Some Of) My Inheritance Money!

Now that Bobbi Kris is 21, she allegedly gets $2 million of her full $20 million inheritance from her mother's estate, according to previous reports.  And a source close to the Houston family tells us that her expanded bank account is to blame for her and Nick Gordon's recent actions, at least in part.

Even though the fight between Nick and Gary Michael Houston happened back in December, it seems odd that Nick publicized it himself just this week.  And used some pretty strong words against the very Houston family whom he's spent many years with.

Our source tells us, it's almost as if the two feel like they can do whatever they want...now that BK's got at least some of her money.  And that money is now THEIR money...since BK and Nick coincidentally got married recently.

These recent tweets from Nick appear to have a bit of hostility behind them...or is he now feeling empowered?

Tamar Braxton Glam Squad Scream Foul Over Unpaid Invoices!

Looks like Tamar is breaking a cardinal sin of being a diva. Thou shalt not avoid paying your glam squad.

Tamar got cryptic with this tweet earlier this week. Leaving many wondering what was going on in her camp.

We Im hearing Tamar’s glad squad are refusing to work for the songstress unless paid upfront!!! But thats not all.

It seems bandmembers and other staff are also not getting paid. And much worse shes been unable to record due to outstanding invoices at one or more recording studios. The she got even furious when she found out folks were tipping bloggers. See below tweet courtesy of Urbanbelle Mag

What a mess.

BBW’s LA Sunday Carter’s Mile Long Rap Sheet Revealed

I see Sunday likes to hate on Draya because she is washed up and a has been, now her past has come to the light.  RWS  got their hands on her rap sheet from when she was arrested.

Sunday has several cases stemming from shoplifting and stolen property! People need to learn to just keep quiet and not always try to point the finger at someone, because life has a way of pointing five fingers back at you.  I am pretty sure she will blame this on being young and dumb..

The hate she has for Draya is all jealousy!! Draya is no saint and I can’t stand her cocky attitude but I must give props where it’s due, and this girl had a salacious pass but manage to build a name for herself and a brand…I guess LOL!
