The Daily Buzz For Oct 22



Tamar Braxton Throws Daggers at Kenya Moore and Kenya STRIKES BACK!
Tamar Braxton appeared on Bravo's "WWHL" Monday and Andy Cohen asked her about Kenya Moore's "Gone With The Wind Fabulous" single. Tamar came back with, “She sings?” I didn’t know that was a serious record. No shade.”

When asked directly about Kenya, she said “She’s not my favorite..My favorite is NeNe."  She then gave a "disgusted" look and added, "Something about the thirst of it all...the whole pageant thing.”

Shots fired....and Miss USA was not pleased.
Actually...she was #unbothered (which translated into "not pleased").  Then she came for Tamar's edges...
Then she came for Tamar's new face....
LOL......Play nice ladies!



Are Safaree Samuels And Nicki Minaj No Longer A Couple?
Rumor has been spreading that Nicki Minaj is no longer dating her boyfriend Safaree Samuels since May when she tweeted, “SINGLE N READY TO MINGLE,” but now there might be some photographic evidence to confirm the breakup.

TMZ has obtained photos of Safaree with his shirt off and his chest tattoos of Nicki’s face and name appear to be covered up completely. Along with this, his arm forearm tattoo of Nicki has considerably faded, leading to speculation that he is in the process of getting it removed completely.
In a recent interview with L’Uomo Vouge, Nicki opened up about her future but did not mention Safaree once, saying that she was still looking for her soulmate.

“In order to earn her success, she has created the image of a volatile and man-eating woman, who places her career above all else.” the Italian Vogue magazine writes.”It is therefore surprising to hear her dreaming about a traditional family with ‘an upright man, who will take care of me. The time is not yet ripe, but when I decide to get married and become a mother’, she adds, speaking of her future soul mate, ‘I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child’.”

Do you think that Safaree covering up his Nicki tattoos is proof enough to say that the couple has ended their relationship?

While Nelly continues to make moves in his business life and will soon be co-starring with Ms. Jackson in a BET reality show, his biggest pride has always been his children, two of which are his and two of which he adopted when his sister passed away in 2005 after a three year battle with leukemia.

Bishop Jakes Calls Critic A Coward, Defends Preachers Wearing Bling
Apparently, us sinners aren’t the only ones that clap back at each other on social media — apparently, so do saints. We caught Bishop T.D. Jakes politely checking one of his critics, who questioned the fact that he was wearing a diamond ring in one of his Instagram photos. An Instagram user by the name of @photo_syn_the_sis, left the following observation on Jakes’ Instagram page:

I didn’t know that preachers wear diamond rings, preachers are supposed to be humble Like Jesus was and preach the real truth. You are not even close being like Jesus, you flash your ring, but the truth is you say you know God but do you really. God wouldn’t flash Jewelry around you really need to read your Bible. Acts 2:38 everything in the Bible is the truth, people need to open their eyes and read there Bible not listen to the things you want them to hear. Their BLOOD is on you @bishopjakes The things you say is sad you teach what you think they need to hear, But do you teach on how the Hair is a women’s Glory no you teach what you want them to hear. Man I feel sorry for you on judgment day. The Blood that is on your Hands, all these people that will burn in Hell with you and they will say WHY ??????? JOHN 8:47
Bishop Jakes responded:

@photo_syn_the_sis Only cowards throw such rocks and then block their site for comment! My

diamond ring is my wedding ring. I’ve been married longer than you’ve been alive!
The ring is not nearly as opulent as the jewels on the high priest’s vest that God designed. It had diamonds also Exodus 39:11  Incidentally, heaven is paved with gold so don’t go there either. It is people like you who have taught what they couldn’t explain. Pharisees indeed! I hope one day you will move from thinking women having uncut hair is more important that bridling your tongue. I love you nonetheless and I pray that all that water you were baptized in would soften your heart! Don’t follow people you don’t believe are preaching truth and you won’t have to lock your page! God bless you and goodnight!
Ouch. Who do you feel was right in this argument?


Retailers Promote ‘Ebola Costumes’ For Halloween (And Some of You Think It’s Cool)
*With Halloween only a few short weeks away, costume outlets are ablaze with what kind of dollars they can bring in from the latest costume craze. What will it be this year? A superhero? A scary monster? A hazmat suit? An Ebola victim?

Social media buzz is leaning towards the last two.
Oh yeah, remember “Breaking Bad,” the super-popular TV series with Bryan Cranston as chemistry professor-turned-drug-kingpin “Walter White” and Aaron Paul as the lovable, strung-out-junkie-turned-sidekick, “Jessie?”
Well, costume sellers say they still have left over yellow jumpsuits, rubber gloves and masks from last Halloween, when that costume was the sh*t. This year they predict some of you Breaking Bad cult members may want to re-purpose those digs to display your take on Ebola.

For anyone who thinks that might be cool, I’ll bet you wouldn’t if it hit closer to home.

Funk Fest Tampa brings a sharp Jill Scott to Raymond James Stadium
 “Those off you that have true love, I hope you make that good love tonight,” Jill Scott laughed as she wound up her 90-minute set at Funk Fest Tampa just outside Raymond James Stadium.
“Think of me once – maybe twice,” the Philadelphia soul singer encouraged the crowd of more than 10,000 as she prepared to sing her big hit, He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat).
The performances, was heavy on selections from her debut album Words and Sounds Vol. 1. Jams like It’s Love, The Way and Getting’ in The Way got huge audience responses, inspiring sing-alongs and whoops.
It was performance that was uniquely Jill, while still paying homage to the predecessors that made her style possible. Her full band, including three backup singers, keyborads, bass, guitar, drums, trumpet and saxophone, warmed up as a stage technician rolled out a carpet center stage.

Like Patti LaBelle before her, Scott strutted out in beautifully jeweled six-inch heels that would not make it through the entire performance. She opened with Gimme to establish the full jam-session feeling between her and her musicians. Both horn players got to waddle down to the front of the stage and get funky with it while Scott made faces like she’d just smelled something awful, yet awesome.
Interplay between Scott and her instrumentalists was commonplace, and every song was a real live performance with quirks and things you may never hear again. He Loves Me became a hybrid wondrous monstrous celebration of life. She scatted, locked her fingertips and squeezed out notes that might make some divas jealous, and belted “Gracias por mi vida,” before freestyling for eight bars about being happy to be in Tampa

Oh No Ma’am: Scientist Stumbles Upon ‘Puppy-Sized’ Spider in the Rainforest
What would you do if you were walking along the forest and stumbled across what you thought was a small furry animal — but it turned out to be a MASSIVE spider?

That’s exactly what happened to Piotr Naskrecki during a nighttime walk in a rainforest in Guyana. He heard a rustling sound of a critter at his feet & turned on his flashlight.

“When I turned on the light, I couldn’t quite understand what I was seeing,” said Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology.

It took a second, but that’s when he realized he was looking at a ginormous spider.
Known as the South American Goliath birdeater (Theraphosa blondi), the colossal arachnid is the world’s largest spider, according to Guinness World Records. Its leg span can reach up to a foot (30 centimeters), or about the size of “a child’s forearm,” with a body the size of “a large fist,” Naskrecki told Live Science. And the spider can weigh more than 6 oz. (170 grams) — about as much as a young puppy, the scientist wrote on his blog.

Some sources say the giant huntsman spider, which has a larger leg span, is bigger than the birdeater. But the huntsman is much more delicate than the hefty birdeater — comparing the two would be “like comparing a giraffe to an elephant,” Naskrecki said.
As Naskrecki moved in closer to the spider, he noticed the creature rubbing its legs against his abdomen. As it turns out, the spider was brushing off hairs that have microscopic barbs on them. Whenever they get caught in a predator’s eyes or any mucous membranes they are “extremely painful and itchy,” and can stay there for days, he said.

Lucky for him, the venomous spiders aren’t deadly to humans. While a bit from the creature would really hurt, it’s not nearly life-threatening. They attack anything they encounter, but primarily feed on insects and earthworms that come out at night.

After catching the specimen he found in Guyana, which was female, Naskrecki took her back to his lab to study. She’s now being studied in a museum.

We have absolute no desire to go to Guyana. In fact, we’ll stay away from neighboring countries just to be safe.


Chris Webber part of group trying to purchase Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks have had a rough couple of years. Even though the team has had moderate success on the court, making it to the playoffs, the arena is usually pretty empty on game night. The Hawks most recent troubles stem from a racist tinged e-mail sent by owner  Bruce Levenson, and inappropriate comments from team GM Danny Ferry.
Levenson is selling his majority shares, and so far there are about six potential buyers, including a group that involves Hawks legend, Dominique Wilkins. But, he isn’t the only retired NBA that’s interested, NBA TV analyst Chris Webber is too.

Chris Webber is part of a potential ownership group that has submitted a letter of interest to the NBA about its desire to purchase the Atlanta Hawks, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Webber would have a modest financial investment in the partnership, but is expected to emerge as a face of the bid with an ultimate goal of becoming a prominent figure on the basketball side for the Hawks, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Webber, 41, has had a home in Atlanta for the past decade and has been working to connect with community officials and organizations to make a case for reselling the organization to an increasingly dubious public.
