Rihanna Brings The Eye Candy To V Magazine’s Summer 2015 Cover
She never seems to have an “off” day and once again Rihanna is simply stunning on the front of the Summer 2015 issue from V magazine.
Teaming up with photographer Steven Klein, the “Umbrella” songstress shows off her incredible figure in a topless snapshot, wearing only a tiny bikini bottom, platinum blonde wig and some neon makeup.
Ri-Ri discusses her image on social media- “I run away from anything that does not stimulate me. I often find myself gravitating toward the underground. There is a certain creative freedom there that you can’t experience anywhere else,” and admits privacy is a thing of the past- “Do I even give a d*ck about that anymore?”

Is there TENSION between Nicki Minaj and Beyonce?
Did Nicki Minaj Give Beyonce the Cold Shoulder? Insiders are whispering about the way Nicki Minaj froze out Beyonce backstage at Coachella…

From The Daily Mail
The atmosphere between Nicki Minaj and Beyonce was decidedly frosty as they stood together on the side of the Coachella stage on Sunday to watch Drake perform.
Nicki, sporting a crown of feathers on top of her pink hair, looked thunderous as she turned her head away from Queen Bey, while the wife of Jay-Z seemed uncomfortable.
At one point Beyonce, wearing large flowers on her head, even awkwardly turned to Nicki and tried to break the tense atmosphere with a smile - but Nicki stared straight ahead and continued to ignore her. Well look at these pics below.
As far as I am concerned. It could be some shade or it could just be awkward shots!



In The Crime Files: Migos Members Denied Bond On Drug & Gun Charges (Pics)
Monday is already off to a hazy start for Migos, and it has nothing to do with 4/20. Members of the Atlanta rap group were denied bond in court this morning, after being arrested this past weekend on drug and gun possession charges in Georgia.
Reports HipHopWired: Before the no bond decision a “pray 4 us” tweet came from the Migos’ Twitter page, but things didn’t go in their favor (that could change though).
Members, Quavo, Offsett, and Takeoff, remain locked up in Georgia’s Bulloch County Jail. However according to All Hip Hop, two of them may be getting out sometime Monday (April 20).

Quavo and Takeoff were reportedly offered $10,000 bond which they are expected post ASAP. No word on what the other guy feels about all of this madness, but “Black Twitter” had some reactions.
LOL!

Judge Rules Sherri Shepherd is the Mother of Surrogate Child
*A judge had spoken. Sherri Shepherd has lost her arduous battle with her soon to be ex-husband and was officially declared the legal mother of their child who was born through a surrogate, reports TMZ.
Shepherd and her estranged husband, Lamar Sally, have been in court over this since August, with the former co-host of “The View” not wanting the child at all. Shepherd claims she was tricked into having the child with Sally and therefore should be absolved of all responsibility to the child.
A Pennsylvania judge, however, pointed to Sherri’s signature on the birth certificate.

Lamar says he’s ecstatic with the ruling, telling TMZ, “I want her to go on television and apologize the same way that she went on there and accused me of being a gold digger and tricking her into having a baby.”
Shepherd did not show up at the hearing, according to TMZ. The two are due back in court to hash out the child support arrangements. He wants her to help take care of the child.



Don Lemon Talks Missteps in GQ Profile (Ferguson’s ‘Obviously’, ‘Use Your Teeth’ to Cosby Accuser, More)
*CNN is not only happy with its controversial anchor Don Lemon, but the network’s president encourages the controversy.
“There’s certainly a lot of interest in Don Lemon, and that’s a good thing for Don and for CNN,” Zucker told GQ in a profile of Lemon. “You know, Don is a little bit of a lightning rod. Frankly, we needed a little bit of lightning.”
GQ’s piece, “Anchorman: The Legend of Don Lemon,” offers perhaps the most in-depth interview of the anchor done thus far. Writer Taffy Brodesser-Akner begins:
So maybe he’s not Walter Cronkite. Maybe he’s done some famously awkward interviews, gotten his facts wrong, and made CNN the butt of more than a few jokes. But that won’t stop Don Lemon. Because here’s the thing: He can fill hours of nothing with a crisp, news-like something. No matter what he says, no matter how badly he screws up, he never blinks. That’s his gift: He just keeps on going.
In the article, Lemon reveals he’s voted for President Obama twice, but doesn’t consider himself attached to any one political party. He was a Republican in college and voted for Ronald Reagan once.

“People expect me to be liberal because I’m gay,” Lemon said. “And I’m not liberal,” he continued, later objecting to the author’s suggestion he has conservative values.
“You keep saying I have conservative values. I don’t. I think I have values that are important and realistic. And they’re not necessarily spoon-fed by someone. I thought out what my values should be.”
Addressing his various missteps, Lemon basically said it comes with the territory:
“When you’re a network-news anchor, you have a twenty-two-minute news hole, and you read not even five minutes of copy, if you read that much,” Lemon tells me. “When you’re a cable-news host, you’re on for hours and hours and hours live. Right? Sometimes there’s nothing in that box, no words.”
On the time he said it “obviously” smelled like marijuana during the Ferguson protests, Lemon says he was using one of many of the filler words an anchor uses when he has to fill in dead air.
Lemon also said he’s a lifelong insomniac; a good night for him might be four hours of sleep.
Also, he’s dating a lawyer – someone who understands his busy schedule.

As for the backlash he’s received over telling black men to take more responsibility for their lives, “I didn’t think I was saying anything bad,” he said. “Just: Always respect yourself. Go to school … I think they’re used to me just having a one-way conversation, just reading the prompter and going, ‘Okay, what do you think?’ … Maybe they were just sort of surprised that I actually have a point of view.”
Perhaps the biggest revelation in the profile came during a discussion about one of Lemon’s most infamously awkward moments, when he asked a Bill Cosby rape accuser why she did not just use her teeth during oral sex. It turns out that suggestion had personal resonance for Lemon, who has described himself as a sexual abuse survivor:
GQ’s Brodesser-Akner wrote: “Lemon tells me that when he was a child and was being forced to perform oral sex on his abuser, he told that fucker that the next time, he’d bite his dick off, and that’s when Don Lemon stopped getting molested.”
Lemon hosts “CNN Tonight” at 10 p.m. ET.

R&B Divas LA’s Leela James Explains Fall-Out With Chante Moore
Season three of R&B Divas LA has been FULL of both drama and entertainment. If you’re an avid viewer of the hit TV One show, you witnessed the fall-out between cast member Chante Moore and a few of her cast mates. One in particular boiling beef included Chante and her Divas colleague, Leela James. On the finale episode, fans and critics saw a different side of Leela when the two got into a yelling match of their charity song.

In her TV One blog post, Leela explains what took her over the edge with Chante:

First and foremost, no she hadn’t been participating. She also asked to receive a percentage of the proceeds of the charity project, which was not going to happen. It wasn’t about, oh we’re a bunch of girls, everyone is being mean to her and don’t want her on the song. No. She asked to be petty. Who gets paid for a charity project? We just didn’t want to risk that presenting any problems. At the end of the day it wasn’t about me. It’s about the greater good. Anybody standing in the way of that, they need to go. Just like Harriet Tubman said, “If you ain’t trying to leave the plantation, then you stay.”
She continues: Anything or anybody that was resisting or causing problems for their own selfish agenda; I had a problem with them. It was personal. It was dear to me. Maybe you don’t like the way I went about standing for it but at the same time, I’m human. Don’t push me.

Leela explains why she didn’t want her on the charity song, but had no issue with her singing in the concert:
Business and performing at a benefit are two different things. Once again, it’s not about being mean girls. This is business. You’re more than welcome to perform at the benefit. It wasn’t, “Oh we don’t like Chanté.” I don’t agree with a lot of the things she said and did, but this was also about business.

Unfortunately, the drama isn’t over. We’re sure that things will come to a head during the reunion, as Leela hints:
There was a lot that was said during the reunion, just like there was a lot that was said throughout the whole season. I will just say this, there was a lot of emotion.


Comedian Luenell Apologizes For Sparking Trina Pregnancy Rumors
Rapper Trina (real name Katrina Laverne Taylor ) is baby free — at least for now! Earlier today, rumor sparked that the Miami-bred rapper was pregnant. The news began when comedian Luenell Campbell posted an Instagram message congratulating her on her pregnancy. Later in the afternoon, Luenell posted an apology to both Trina and The YBF who reported the news, that she had misspoke.

She writes: My Dearest @trinarockstarr @theybfdaily let me take this opportunity 2 Bow Down and DEEPLY apologize for falsly [sic] congratulating u on my erroneous post about ur NON-Pregnancy.
