The Daily Buzz For March 3



‘Get Hard’ Trailer Starring Kevin Hart & Will Ferrell 
Following his highly successful film The Wedding Ringer, Kevin Hart is back with another funny flick. This time, he has teamed up with comedian Will Ferrell to bring the laughs in their new comedy Get Hard.

In the movie, Kevin plays an “incarceration expert” Darnell, who helps millionaire hedge fund manager James (Will Ferrell) prepare for a jail stint in San Quentin after he's nailed for fraud. Little did James know, Darnell knows nothing about being incarcerated. He’s a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison. The judge gives James 30 days to get his affairs in order and Darnell must have him "prison ready" before he heads to the big house.

Get Hard is expected to hit theaters March 27th, the same day Kevin launches his “What Now” world comedy tour in Florida.


NeNe Leakes, Khloe Kardashian eyed for ‘Fashion Police’ cast
Kelly Osbourne who? Just days following Osbourne’s exit from the hit fashion commentary show, E! is in talks to replace the 30-year-old with two big personalities, Nene Leakes and Khloe Kardashian, reports US Weekly.
“The Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star, oddly enough, most recently joined Osbourne and Rancic on the Oscars red carpet — when Rancic originally made racist comments about Disney star Zendaya Coleman’s dreadlocks. Kardashian even applauded Zendaya amid the controversy. “You are a gorgeous, intelligent young lady!” she tweeted. “I love all that you represent! Keep empowering and shine bright!”
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum, meanwhile, appeared on “Fashion Police” as a guest in 2013. In September 2014, it was rumored that Leakes would replace the late Joan Rivers, a position that later went to funny lady Kathy Griffin. Brad Goreski then replaced George Kotsiopoulos.

Who would you like to see fill Osbourne’s shoes?


Nick Young Is Clapping Back At Robert Flores For Ethering Iggy Azalea
As Jigga's Law states, for every "Ether" there is an equal and opposite "Super Ugly" as the offended party seeks to redress their injuries in diss form. And while Iggy Azalea herself has henceforth been quiet about the smackdown ESPN's Robert Flores laid on her, her boyfriend Nick Young has come out swinging.
Bruh. BRUH. They don't make lava as hot as my man Robert Flores's diss right there. Like, …

Here are Young's recent tweets in response to Flores's quips about his girl's music:
Like the real "Ether" vs. "Super Ugly" matchup, the original still wins. While we understand the urge to defend your lady, it's not really that serious, Swaggy. 
You and Iggy should just take the L and keep it moving.


Michael Jordan Lands On Forbes Billionaire List
Michael Jordan just had his name added to another impressive list.
The former Bulls star, who has NBA record-career averages for regular-season scoring (30.12) and playoff scoring (33.45), has been included on Forbes magazine’s billionaires list for the first time.

MJ had a net worth of $1 billion, according to the magazine, to land at No. 1,741. Forbes said it calculated each person’s wealth based on stock prices and exchange rates on Feb. 13, 2015.

The six-time NBA champion, who is one of 290 newcomers to the list, is the majority shareholder in the Charlotte Bobcats. Although Jordan has deals with Gatorade, Hanes and Upper Deck, his main money-maker is Nike.
The richest team owner on the list is Steve Ballmer (No. 35, $21.5 billion), who bought the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014 following the Donald Sterling scandal.

Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen (No. 51, $17.5 billion) is the second richest among team owners.
Other notable sports figures on the billionaires list who made the top 500 are Phil Anschutz (No. 104, $11.8 billion), who owns the Los Angeles Kings, LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo; Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov (No. 125, $9.6 billion); Stanley Kroenke (No. 225, $6.3 billion), who owns the St. Louis Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Arsenal; Patriots owner Robert Kraft (No. 381, $4.3 billion); and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (No. 393, $4.2 billion).


So Rihanna and Leo ARE CAKING? Couple have been Finally seen together!
So…we heard Leonardo DiCaprio was celebrating with Rihanna for her birthday, but there weren’t any pics of the two together…until now.
For her 27th birthday, Rihanna was surprised with a private birthday bash thrown by her friend/1OAK nightclub owner Richie Akiva (who is also good friends with Leo) in L.A. We hear, Leo reportedly helped organize the soiree as well. Word has it, she was right by his side the entire night. Mmmhmm....
Courtesy of TMZ here’s the pic!
As you may know, Rih and Leo have been making headlines with rumors of a budding romance. They were reportedly “boo’d up” at the Playboy mansion last month. Then a few weeks later, Rih was spotted arriving at the Wolf of Wallstreet actor’s home around 1 AM before linking up at Up and Down nightclub to party.

Neither of them have confirmed whether they're dating or not, but if they are, we think it's a good look.


Trey Songz to be the face of new liquor brand
If the goal is to attract ladies to your liquor brand, then you can’t go wrong by linking Grammy-nominated singer Trey Songz to your product.
The brass over at SX Liquors came to this conclusion rather quickly when considering exactly who should be the face of their line of spirits.
“We needed to find the best person on the planet that could help us market, not only from a collaboration of ideas, but also the ability to take it to the people and when we were introduced to Trey Songz and his amazing following, especially for females, it was just the perfect fit,” said SX Liquors CEO David Knight.

The “Bottoms Up” singer says his management brought the idea to him and he was instantly intrigued with design of the liquor’s bottle.
“At first, I was very interested in the bottle, the bottle is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and if you really pay close attention, it’s like a lady’s legs crossed, which, to me, represents sexy but classy at the same time,” Songz said.

Songz promised to intergrate SX in all his appearances and encourages his adult fans to make the brand a part of their life as well.
“We will not fail, you will see SX everywhere I go. It will be used as a tool. If you want Trey Songz, you got to have SX too as far as promotions go, as far as shows go, as far as clubs go, as far as anything we do,” the Virginia native assured. “We will need commitments from the parties that will be wanting commitments from us. I look forward to seeing SX in your homes, SX right on your bar and I want you to request it at the clubs.”
The SX Liquor line includes SX Samba and SX Mojito (Rum), SX Cafedoble and SX Cha Cha Cha (Tequila), and SX Negro and SX Blanco (Vodka).

OOOPS! Anna Wintour bans babies, toddlers from any future NYFW runway shows
During New York Fashion Week, little North West threw not one but TWO front-row tantrums. It’s not North’s fault, of course. Her parents are just jackasses and they don’t realize that front-row at a fashion show is not the best place for a toddler. The first tantrum came at Kanye West’s Adidas show, while Anna Wintour was sitting right next to Kim Kardashian (Kim was holding North). The second tantrum came when Kim, Kanye and North were sitting front row at Alexander Wang’s show. Kim was so embarrassed, she took North backstage and left her there while Kim returned to her seat. After those displays, it’s been rumored that Wintour was considering putting her foot down. Now The Daily Mail says it’s happened, and Nuclear Wintour has officially BANNED children from runway shows.

Ice queen Anna Wintour has told designers not to allow toddlers on the front row at fashion shows she attends after Kim Kardashian’s daughter North threw a double tantrum. The US Vogue editor told aides of the ban during London Fashion Week, I can reveal.
The final straw for Wintour came when North got agitated during her father Kanye West’s recent show in New York and the one-year-old had to be taken out of the room by a nanny. During little North’s outburst, Wintour, 65, wrinkled her nose in disgust.
This followed North’s previous flare-up at another recent New York show, which left Anna looking distinctly unimpressed, left.
[From The Daily Mail]

Anna Wintour has similar bans on puppies, toothy smiles, kittens, laughter, gluten, glitter and hearts of gold. No children, ever!! I actually see Wintour’s point, but it shouldn’t be her call. It should be the PARENTS deciding that their children don’t belong at fashion shows. But since that won’t happen any time soon, yes, let’s just go ahead and make the decree. I wonder if Paris Fashion Week will follow suit, because North West has been to a bunch of PFW shows in the past. I’ve always assumed that designers welcome North at their shows because she’s the most popular member of her family….LOL!


Erica Campbell Says New Season of ‘Mary Mary’ Was “Very Challenging” 
Mary Mary is back … the TV show not the group!
Last season, Erica Campbell began to embark on her solo career and now she’s a Grammy winning solo artist. Unfortunately, that transition was met with some resistance from her sister and Mary Mary group member, Erica Campbell. That friction is still very present in the upcoming season of the hit WEtv show.

Our friends over at HipHollywood caught up with Erica who dished deets on season four of Mary Mary. “You’ll see the journey here being a solo artist was not an easy one,” Campbell revealed. But, while Tina gave Erica a hard time about going solo, it looks like Tina is looking to embark on the same path.

Check out a sneak peek from the upcoming season below

And catch the premiere when it airs on Thursday, March 5th at 10pm et/pt on WEtv


Nicci Gilbert “Distraught” Over Charmayne Maxwell’s Death!
I reported to you on Sunday about the untimely death of Brownstone original singer Charmayne Maxwell.

Now fellow former member Nicci Gilbert is mourning the death of her former Brownstone group mate, Charmayne Maxwell who died on Friday evening after a tragic fall.

“Nicci is very sad &  distraught,” Gilbert’s rep states.
Maxwell was found unconscious and bleeding profusely inside her Los Angeles home by her husband, music producer Carsten Soulshock. The singer, who was one of three members of the 90’s r&b group Brownstone, died after she fell and cut her neck on a wine glass.

“R.I.P my beautiful sister Charmayne “Maxee” Maxwell. I can’t even believe I’m typing this right now,” Maxwell’s brother, Brandon tweeted on Saturday. “Bad things happened to the most innocent people. My sister died in the most terrible way and I’m in so much pain right now. I can’t stop shaking.”

The 46-year-old had just returned home from her son’s soccer game and was home alone with him when the incident occurred. Our prayers go out to all of them at this time!


Dr. Dre Sued For $6M Over Straight Outta Compton Copyright Infringement
It was only a matter of time before the N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton, employed the “mo money, mo problems” power laws. As it stands, Dr. Dre and Universal Pictures are the target of a new lawsuit where a 70s R&B singer is claiming he never got any royalties from the 1988 sample on the N.W.A cut, “If It Ain’t Ruff.”

In the new federal documents obtained by The Jasmine Brand, Prince Phillip Mitchell says he never granted the studio permission to use his 1978 record, “Star In The Ghetto.” In fact, he’s saying he was never credited as a co-author for the record on the classic album’s original liner notes. Which is true, as it the sample was attributed to the Average White Band cover.

Since Mitchell is alleging that The Good Doctor damaged his reputation, he’s suing for an excess of $6 million. Sounds about right to boost someone’s confidence again, no?
Straight Outta Compton has an all-star lineup of producers in Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Matt Alvarez, Tomica Woods-Wright, Will Packer and its director, F. Gary Gray. It hits theaters on August 14, 2015. 

The court documentation for the lawsuit can be found here

City Of Cleveland Says Tamir Rice Shooting Was Boy’s Fault
Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old Cleveland boy who was shot and killed by a first-year cop for holding a BB gun, was at fault argued city officials in a court document. The Rice family is challenging the city in a wrongful death lawsuit, holding steadfast to the idea the officer could have handled the matter in another way.
As reported by CBS News, last Friday (Feb. 27) the City of Cleveland filed the document in where it said that Rice essentially caused the officer to act because of the actions he took during the interaction. The city said in its filing that the family’s “injuries, losses and damages … were directly and proximately caused by the acts of the Plaintiff’s decedent (Rice), not this Defendant.”
The city also named the Rice family as being responsible for Rice’s death. However, Rice family attorney Walter Madison hit back saying that the gunning down of Rice was excessive and noted that the officer should not have been in uniform. It was discovered last year that Tim Loehmann, the officer who shot Rice in the stomach as the Cudell Recreation Center park, was declared unfit for duty in 2012.
In the Washington Post today, Mr. Madison spoke more about the case and heavily criticized the city’s decision to counter the family’s suit in the fashion they have.
“What they said is incredulous at best. It’s unbelievable,” said Madison to the Post. “There are a number of things that we in society don’t allow 12-year-olds to do. We don’t allow them to vote, we don’t allow them to drink. In court we don’t try them as adults. They don’t have the capacity to understand the consequences of their actions.”
Rice was shot and killed November 22 last year as he played in the park with a BB pellet gun. The union rep for the Cleveland Police Department said that the officer couldn’t determine if the gun was real or not from a distance. Video of the shooting has been released, which has been heavily dissected by supporters of the Rice family in their quest for answers.


Marshawn SPEAKS!  Marshawn Lynch Finally Admits He Was Expecting The Ball On Super Bowl XLIX Last Play
The sting felt from the Seattle Seahawks’ epic meltdown during the waning moments Super Bowl XLIX has since died down, and accused media recluse Marshawn Lynch is finally ready to talk about it.

Following the big game, Lynch simply told the media that football “was a team sport” in reference to head coach Pete Carroll’s decision to throw the ball in the red zone, resulting in a game-ending interception by the New England Patriots. But in a more recent interview with NTV Spor, the leading sports network in Turkey, Lynch elaborated on his thoughts from the call and admits the play call shocked him as well.
“To be honest with you, I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I was expecting the ball,” he told broadcaster Ismail Senol. “Yes, I was expecting the ball. But in life, these things happen. Like I told a reporter after the game, it’s a team sport.”

“I had no problem with the decision of the play calling. I mean, you know, I think it was more of a, how do I say this? When you look at me, and you let me run that ball in, I am the face of the nation. You know, MVP of the Super Bowl. That’s pretty much the face of the nation at that point of time. I don’t know what went into that call. I mean, maybe it was a good thing that I didn’t get the ball. I mean, you know, it cost us the Super Bowl. I mean, have full confidence in my teammates to execute that plan because we’ve done it so many more times. But would I love to had the ball in? Yes, I would have.”
Still, the Seahawks are still set to be the same NFC contenders as they were last season and Beast Mode isn’t harboring any hard feelings. (“But the game is over, and I am in Turkey.”)

Lynch’s openess with NTV Spor alludes to the further notion that he’d rather talk to non-prying foreign media opposed to the American reporters.

Ebola Nurse Nina Pham Says Texas Hospital Failed Her and Colleagues
The first person infected with Ebola in the United States, nurse Nina Pham, said she was used for publicity purposes by her hospital, which also invaded her privacy and did not properly train her, the Dallas Morning News reported on Sunday.
Pham, 26, told the newspaper that chaos hit the Dallas hospital when it admitted Thomas Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States after he contracted it in Liberia. Nurses were ill prepared and received little guidance on how to treat Ebola or protect themselves.

“I wanted to believe that they would have my back and take care of me, but they just haven’t risen to the occasion,” Pham told The Dallas Morning News in an exclusive interview published in its Sunday edition.
Duncan was put into isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in late September and died less than two weeks later.
Pham, who became infected while treating him, later recovered and was welcomed in the Oval Office by President Barack Obama.
She is planning to sue the hospital, the paper said. The hospital has reached a settlement with Duncan’s family.
