Barbara Walters’ Final “View” Segment Slated For May
She’s had an unbelievably successful run in the entertainment industry and Barbara Walters is ready to call it quits.
The highly-respected journalist will bring a close to her tenure on “The View” on May 16th and later that night ABC News will air a two-hour special about her life and career.
Meanwhile, ABC News has also announced they’ll name their New York City headquarters after Walters in honor of her achievements.

Disney CEO Bob Iger explained, "In this business there are legends, there are icons, and then there is Barbara Walters. She's a dear friend and colleague as well as someone I deeply admire, and it's impossible to fully convey her impact and influence on television. She broke barriers, defied convention, made history and set the standard for journalistic excellence for more than 50 years. It's hard to imagine television without her."

Anne Sweeney, the President of Disney/ABC Television added, "Barbara Walters was one of the first people I met as an ABC page almost 38 years ago. She was fiercely intelligent, impressive and inspiring then, and remains so to this day. I am honored that I've had the rare opportunity to work, and learn, from her all these years. Her influence on television, and American culture, will resonate for decades to come."

Kenya Moore Is Devastated By The Loss Of Her Puppy, Velvet…
Kenya Moore’s adorable terrier Velvet has been a frequent presence on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Sadly, Kenya was forced to say goodbye to her beloved pooch far too soon, as Velvet was killed by another dog.

She may receive constant criticism on Facebook, but it was hard for Real Housewives Of Atlanta viewers to trash talk Kenya Moore during last night’s episode, as she spent the entire time crying about the loss of her canine friend.
The reality star shared the tragic news as her aunt rushed to her side. The reality star sobbed:
“I let [Velvet] outside and then I heard her screaming. I ran outside. She was on the other side of the gate. The dog had her in its mouth, dangling her.”

After the attack, Kenya rushed Velvet to the veterinarian. Sadly, it was already too late. “I told her not to leave me. I could just see her letting go.”
Kenya felt guilty that she wasn’t able to protect her dog, but her aunt believed that Velvet’s death could be a sign that a child may finally be on the way. She asked Kenya if it would be possible for her to show a baby the same kind of love she had shown Velvet.

Amazingly enough, Kenya managed to keep quiet about her dog’s death prior to the airing of Sunday’s episode. Also, she received an outpouring of support on Twitter, with fans sharing their favorite memories from Velvet’s brief stint on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.



Skin-Bleaching Dencia Calls Out Lupita Nyong'o For Promoting Lancôme
African singer Dencia--best known for having the best skin-whitening profile this side of Michael Jackson--is reviving her beef with Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o for her accepting to be the new face of Lancôme Paris cosmetics.
Nyong'o announced on Friday April 4 that she was "excited" to be the new ambassador of Lancôme Paris, the French brand that excels in luxurious products for women. The Twitter universe still remembers Dencia's last disgraceful attack towards the 12 Years a Slave actress and one user, @IamNappyBaby just couldn't wait to shove Nyong'o's good fortune in Dencia's face, similar to how she layers the melanin-eating goop on her face every night.
"B*tch lupita is the new face of Lancôme!! SHE WINS!! And you're just TRASH," she exclaimed. Undeterred, Dencia was quick to rebuttal with "But they sell bleaching cream tho" and posted a picture of Lancôme's Blanc Expert.
The product was designed to remove dark spots on skin and if abused would undoubtedly give users the porcelain doll face. Yet Dencia's brand Whitenicious is specifically branded to "say goodbye to pigmentation" forever and subtlety tries to erode any semblance with being a Black individual.
Dencia wasn't done barking at her detractors either. She ranted on Instagram, "Lol people hate what they don't have & will jump on it if they had the opportunity.I said before she couldn't call them big brands owned by whites cuz she wanted a deal. I like how she played herself tho!!still gonna answer yes ma'am & I'm still a CEO & entrepreneur & Lancôme will never pay her what I make in a month, b4 u come say I am hating I ain't lol I am milking it."
If "answering" means Lupita will begin to bleach her skin at Lancôme's demand, it may be possible that Whitenicious seeps into the brain tissue.

Mama Joyce Still Not Happy For Kandi & Todd…
Despite Mama Joyce saying she would stay out of Kandi’s business concerning Todd Tucker, Mama Joyce is still making it known she does not like Todd and she had a lot to say after the wedding.

We’re told after the wedding, Mama Joyce spoke to toofab and had this to say:

I had no reason to bite my tongue. I’m not gonna be the one to stop her from jumping into the fire. I tried, I did all that ahead of time. Too late for me to pull out of it then, not gonna make a fool outta myself!

Mama Joyce insist the wedding was beautiful, however, that didn’t stop her from saying:
“Long as she’s happy, that’s the one that has to be happy. Doesn’t make no difference if I’m happy or not, she’s the one that has to live with him. I did everything I could do. If she’s jumping in the river with sharks, she’s gonna get chewed up. It’s not about me, whether I’m right or wrong. People show you their best when you’re dating them, so if she’s seeing the best now, the worst is yet to come.”

Mama Joyce even spoke at the wedding, were told she stated:
I said, ‘She looks very happy. I’m happy that she’s happy and I hope that she continues to be happy. I hope she’s always as happy as she was last night.’

She adds:
I got a little pissed at the bridegroom the night before this wedding. He kind of held up on signing the prenup and didn’t come to the rehearsal dinner because he didn’t want to sign it. His mom said she didn’t see no reason for him to have to sign because they were in love. He was the one who didn’t have a damn thing, but that’s another story. But from what I understand, he did sign.

Mama Joyce lightly adds:
I can’t wait till you see the wedding pictures … to see how beautiful I was.

Damn… Mama Joyce be going in! No holds barred at all!!



Lil Boosie Concert Cancelled Because Of Parole Restrictions
Lil Boosie's release from prison hasn't totally freed him up to be able to add money to his bank account.
The Louisiana rapper was supposed to be breaching state lines to perform at the Jackson County Fairgrounds during the Mississippi Gulf Coast Spring Break but that mission is now a definitely nah.
The reason being, Boosie is still on parole and he couldn't get prior approval in time to make the April 18 date of the show.

Reports WAPT:
County officials broke off discussions Thursday with the promoter of the event.
They say negotiations with promoter Keith Brown fell through when the appearance by the rap artist could not be guaranteed because of his parole in Louisiana.
The rapper, whose real name is Torence Hatch, was released from a Louisiana prison early last month after serving four years and four months for third-offense possession of marijuana.
County officials say they were informed by the Louisiana Department of Corrections and Parole that Lil" Boosie is on travel restriction and could not get approval to travel between now and the concert date.
Boosie's business affairs haven't been exactly first-class since his March 5 prison release.
There have been reports of janky promoter scams from all corners of the country and the neighbors in his new gated community have not exactly welcomed him with homemade apple pies.
This latest struggle adds to yet another list of the setbacks for the ex-con.
