Pebbles Comes Out Swinging, Sues Viacom For $40 Million!
Remember when Pebbles threatened to sue EVERYBODY involved with "The TLC Story" after it aired on VH1 last year?  And she spilled all the piping hot tea on "The Wendy Show" soon after?  Well, she's made good on her promise.
Pebbles is taking Viacom, VH1's parent company, to task over what she claims is a false story that defames her character.  Page Six reports:

Reid claims in Atlanta federal court that the 2013 VH1 movie portrays her “as a conniving and dishonest business woman who hoodwinked three innocent girls and exploited their talent for her own personal gain.”
An R&B singer who has herself sold over 4 million records, Reid says in the suit that Viacom “ignored fundamental canons of journalistic and literary conduct by publishing false and defamatory accusations with actual malice.”
The suit filed late Friday states that, contrary to what VH1 viewers saw, Reid never controlled TLC’s lawyers or accountants, never withheld contract terms from TLC and always paid the group what they were owed.
Pebbles has been speaking out about the alleged falseities in the VH1 TV movie, despie VH1 putting out a disclaimer that the movie was LOOSELY based on a true story.

The movie shed light on what allegedly went down with the members of TLC and why they went bankrupt, which appeared to be due to the lies and stealing done by their manager Pebbles.



Rihanna’s Two VOGUE Brazil Covers + A Couple More Pics From The Shoot
Rihanna has nabbed herself a double cover feature for VOGUE Brazil. Rockin’ a flirty bob, the Bajan beauty sizzles in revealing metallic green dress, and is also captured in a gorgeous close-up.
She shared the covers on Instagram, writing: “…We shot this entire shoot in Brazil with my lover boy @teamvivanco … Brazil I miss you already.”

A couple of months ago, RiRi was spotted topless on the beach snapping up photos for the smoldering shoot. Along with the covers, a couple of other pics from the shoot have hit the net. She shows some skin, rockin’ nothing but a pair of gold high-waisted hot pants, a colorful scarf, and bangles – in one.. while she ditches the scarf and changes her bottoms in the second.



Chicago Teen Mother Arrested For Leaving Newborn In Walmart Bag Outside To Die
The United States is seeing a disturbing trend of new mothers doing the unspeakable with their newborn children this year.
A Utah woman is currently facing six counts of six-degree murder after offing her kids while another in South Carolina has been charged for literally trashing her baby hours after giving birth.
A high school teen in Chicago is sadly following suite after she is being charged with first-degree murder after she left her newborn baby outside in a plastic Walmart bag, reportedly because she feared being dumped by her new boyfriend who wasn't the father.
Via Chicago-Tribune:
Prosecutors said Ana Rosa Mora, who faces a first-degree murder charge, killed her baby out of fear her boyfriend would leave her. The teen then concocted a story intended to dupe those who knew she was pregnant, officials said.
By the time a construction worker called police a few hours later after spotting the infant in the Northwest Side gangway, the child was dead.
When two staff members at Kelvyn Park High School noticed on Monday that she'd recently given birth, Mora showed them a photo of a baby girl on her iPad and said it was hers, Assistant State's Attorney Glen Runk said.
But Mora then brought up the dead baby found near her home and asked the school officials whether police had the right to take DNA from people in her house and whether that DNA would show who the child's mother was, prosecutors said.
After initially denying that the child was hers, Runk said Mora admitted to police that she gave birth to the boy alive and then placed him in the gangway next to her home in the 2700 block of North Hamlin Avenue. Prosecutors said that Mora told police the baby looked like her ex-boyfriend, who was in fact the father, and that she was afraid her current boyfriend would realize that and leave her.
In bond court Saturday, Judge Laura Marie Sullivan ordered the teen held on $500,000 bail. Mora's public defender said she was on track to graduate from Kelvyn Park in June and had planned to attend college this fall.
This is one of the sad realities when babies have babies.



Game Shops It Up With "Bad" Business Associate
The Game hit the L.A. streets with model/dancer Britt Lucio, who is also the brand ambassador (i.e. model) for the Padrino Tequila company he's doing some business with.  The rapper had a lunch meeting on Robertson Blvd. with the rep from the tequila company, as well as Britt, to only "talk business" as he said, but Game sounded like he was trying to get at Britt on the sly tip as well.  He posted:
Then the two hit up Kitson close by for a little shopping:
Game, who stopped to snap pics with a few fans, also gave a lengthy response to the Donald Sterling situation.  The Cali rapper said he's starting a campaign to get fans to skip games in boycott:

I have to say that after listening to the full audio clip of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racists comments towards (minorities) specifically African Americans & Hispanics, I am totally outraged & very upset !!! He also went on to say that because Magic Johnson was black he did not want Magic to attend any of the Los Angeles Clippers games. Myself being African American & having a huge Hispanic following... I find myself in a position to defend both my heritage & that of all of the Hispanic community, not only here but around the world.... Whom, both are very supportive of not only the Los Angeles Clippers, but every professional sports franchise in Los Angeles & elsewhere specifically the Los Angeles Dodgers... Whose owner & opposing Los Angeles Lakers great "Earvin Magic Johnson" was both disrespected & racially profiled by the Clippers owner. Not sure on exact numbers but I'm pretty sure Hispanics alone make up at least 65% of ticket buyers for Los Angeles Clippers games as well as merchandising. With that said, it was not only ignorant & racist but a non-calculated & disgusting business move on Donald Sterlings part. In the support of my own race, Hispanics & every other race whose been fighting current & past racism I have now started the #ESC which is short for #EMPTYSEATCAMPAIGN asking ALL Los Angeles residents to boycott the next Clippers game by not attending which will prove that we are more of a MAJORITY than the previously stated "minority" label given to us by Mr. Sterling. Although I feel for friends of mine that play for the Clippers franchise such as @CP3 whose own team owner considers a minority...... I now, along with good friend & designer @ceoselfmade ask everyone who reads this WORLDWIDE to RE-POST this picture & hashtag: #BoycottClippers #ESC #EmptySeatCampaign #Support #OGMagicJohnson #StopRacism #OneWorld #WeAreAMajority

HMMMMMMM!



Chicago to Name High School After President Obama
Wow, this is some GREAT news to hear, come fall 2017, some 300 students will be able to say they attend the Barack Obama College Preparatory High School.

Former chief of staff and Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel made the announcement one day after the Chicago Board of Education voted to fire the entire staff – including teachers – at three Chicago Public Schools (CPS) elementary schools in an effort to turn them around. The hope is that the Barack Obama College Prep HS will meet the demand for more highly competitive selective enrollment schools in the district.
Barack Obama College Preparatory High School, Emanuel says, will be built on the city’s Near North Side using $60 million in tax-increment financing funds, the Chicago Sun-Times’ Fran Spielman and Lauren Fitzpatrick reported. The school will open in the fall of 2017 with a freshman class of 300 students and will ultimately serve 1,200 students, the mayor said.

As you may know last years CPS closed 50 elementary schools in what was the largest wave of public school closures in U.S. history, and it has been criticized ever since for approving the opening of more charter schools and expansions to other schools.



The NEW R&B Divas of ATL LaTavia Roberson & Meelah Cover BE Entertained Magazine’s #VOLTAGE Music Issue!
LaTavia Roberson & Meelah Williams are doing their THANG. The two lovely DIVAS are apart of one of the hottest reality shows and they are cover girls for BE Entertained Magazine’s #VOLTAGE Music Issue. My girls got it going on.

Check out the details below.
Meelah and Latavia have been DIVAS for quite sometime now we get to see them in all their glory on the new season of R&B Divas Atlanta. BE Magazine got a chance to sit with the hot girl from the 702 and one of Destiny’s child to talk about life after and their blossoming careers.
In the exclusive interview, the ladies were very candid about their past experiences with their prospective groups, motherhood, and what they plan on bringing to the R&B Divas table.
Meelah on 702′s Support of her New R&B Divas Role
I haven’t spoke to them, I don’t know how they’re going to feel. Hopefully they will BE supportive, there’s no Beef or anything. I think they will acknowledge the fact that I did not throw anyone under the bus or I did not give the real tea about what happened…

LaTavia on Destiny’s Child
Honestly, working with Destiny Child was one of the greatest things to have ever happened. I would never want to take that journey out of my life, for it has made me the person that I am today. I genuinely like good music and I love them (referring to Kelly, BEyonce and Latoya); the situation had nothing to do with us, so I support them to the fullest…

Meelah on Working with LaTavia
I was so happy (finding out she was joining); it made this opportunity even BEtter. We go way back, from the 702 and Destiny’s Child days. We got this dramatic story about how we met at church, and I fell in love with her…

LaTavia on Working with Meelah
The first time I met Meelah and 702 was at a rehearsal when I was with Destiny’s Child, since then I’ve run into Meelah at a few engagements. However, there was one particular time that I can recall running into her. I was attending a church service, and this was during the time in which my situation with Destiny’s Child had happened, I guess it was her situation at that moment too, and she was knelt at the alter. So I went to her and prayed with her…

You can catch Meelah & LaTavia on R&B Divas Atlanta Season 3 airing Wednesdays at 10PM/9PM Central on TV1.

Happy Birthday Keshia!



Nike LeBron 11 EXT "Denim"
It's possible for sneakers and denim to form a perfect marriage. We've seen it before, and  Nike will make another ambitious attempt via the Nike LeBron 11 EXT "Denim."
This is the third denim iteration of a LeBron James sneaker, and follows a rare LeBron 8 and the extravagant LeBron 10. Donning premium leather and red accents on the tongue, the kicks mirror the NBA champion's style off of the court.
Personally, the Nike LeBron 11 EXT "Denim" isn't a favorite of ours, but give us your thoughts on whether or not you'll purchase in the comments.


Mya Sparkles At Haze In Vegas
Over in Vegas, Mya hit the carpet at Haze Nightclub at the Aria Resort and Casino as she's promoting her new EP With Love:
She's still looking great.  Anybody cop that EP?



AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘PLUMB BUM’
Who knew there were this many plumbers in the world? I mean, I appreciate a good trademark style as much as the next guy, but perhaps someone could go ahead and be a maverick and try to buck the trend huh?


HAVE A GREAT DAY!
