Uh Oh? Mariah, Nick is about to SPILL some TEAS on YOU!
Sources confirm Nick Cannon has inked a deal to write an explosive tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey…
From The Daily Mail
Nick Cannon has signed and sealed a deal to write a tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey - and she is furious about him betraying her.
Mariah rejected Nick's numerous demands for a $30 million divorce settlement so now he's writing the book — saying he plans get his payday for being married to her one way or another - and there is nothing she can do about it because he already signed the deal last week with major publishing company Simon and Schuster.
Simon & Schuster has confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the book is being published by Gallery Books, an imprint of the high-powered publisher.
'Nick says he is going to tell the world about Mariah's drug use, her strange eating habits, psychosis, what she has said about other artists, her sexual proclivities and her parenting skills. It which will really be hurtful,' the insider continued.
'And Nick is also going to explain why he thinks he should have full custody of the twins. Mariah has admitted she never wanted children and Nick is going to tell the world why she felt that way.
'If Nick was not willing to spill all of their nasty and salacious secrets he would not have gotten a book deal. So obviously, Simon and Schuster feel this is going to be a blockbuster and they signed him up.'
'Mariah was willing to give Nick $10 million but he said 'hell no' and demanded $30,' a family friend tells the Daily Mail exclusively.
'Mariah says it is what they agreed to in the prenup before they got married.
But Nick insisted he needs and deserves more than what they originally talked about, but Mariah wouldn't budge.
Kenya Moore SHOCKED Phaedra Parks is talking to her
Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks have been bitter enemies for the last three years thanks to accusations that Moore tried to sleep with Parks’ now-incarcerated husband, Apollo Nida. But their feud might be coming to an end after Parks recently agreed to hash out her issues with Moore in an upcoming episode of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
As fans of the show know, the beef began when Moore was inappropriately flirting with Nida during her freshman season on the show. Things began to spiral downward between Moore and Parks when Nida accused Moore of trying to sleep with him, which prompted Parks to go on a slut-shaming campaign against Moore for the next two years.
Even though Nida recently admitted that he lied about Moore propositioning him, Parks continued to slut shame Moore until Sunday night’s episode when she finally agreed to have a one-on-one conversation with Moore about their beef.
In her latest Bravo blog, post Moore opens up about Parks’ decision to talk with her and she explains that she’s shocked that Parks is willing to listen to her.
“I was very surprised. It was confusing to all to see how easily Phaedra forgave NeNe for calling her the head doctor, never acknowledging she even knows her, and calling her dirty besides a few other things. Yet she has refused apologize to me or to forgive me after countless attempts to reconcile on my part. To my critics who ask why I keep trying, the answer is simple: It’s just too exhausting to carry around your baggage, and it’s been a long time coming,” Moore said.
Although, the jury is still out on whether or not Moore and Parks can become friends, in a preview of next week’s episode, it appears that Moore and Parks will finally forgive each other for the years they’ve spent tearing each other down. It’s time for these two to finally bury the hatchet and let this beef go.
Lil Kim’s ‘ALLEGED’ fiance and Gang Leader Ex Goes On trial For Ordering 6 Murders
“He has to go.” Those were the words Damion “World” Hardy used when he ordered the executions of more than five men since 1998. And now, he’s on trial for his part in six murders and various other violent crimes.
Reports NY Daily News: World – a gang leader and Lil Kim’s alleged ex-fiance – was indicted a decade ago, but is just now going to trial for the murders. At 41, Hardy has beaten the death penalty and now that his paranoid schizophrenia has gotten better, law officials say he is ready to face his crimes. His charges include the murder of Mike Tyson’s former bodyguard and the death of a bouncer in Brooklyn.
Hardy was the alleged leader of the Cash Money Brothers gang that operated out of the Lafayette Gardens projects in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
The Man Who Allegedly Killed Michael Jordan's Dad May Get New Trial
On July 23, 1993, James Jordan - Michael Jordan's father - was fatally shot in his Lexus during an attempted car theft. Now, after 19 years of being jailed, the man who allegedly pulled the trigger may be able to prove his innocence in the crime.
Daniel Green was sent to prison for life in 1996 on charges of murder, but due to mishandled blood evidence he now has a shot at a new trial. Negative lab reports were never seen during the original trial, and inconclusive blood tests could have helped Mr. Green. On top of that, false testimonies and a faulty investigation may be just what Green needs to get himself off the hook, like his co-conspirator Larry Demery did when he blamed Green and settled for a plea deal. Demery, who testified against Green, is set to be eligible for parole sometime next year.

Vanilla Ice Avoids Jail Time In Burglary Case
Back in February he was arrested for stealing a pool heater and some furniture from a vacant house and fortunately for Vanilla Ice he won’t be spending any time behind bars.
The “Vanilla Ice Project” star struck a plea deal with the prosecution to dismiss felony burglary and grand theft charges and in return he’ll pay $1,300 in restitution and perform 100 hours of community service with Habitat for Humanity.
Shortly after his arrest, Mr. Ice (real name Robert Van Winkle) claimed the whole thing was a “misunderstanding” and had been “blown out of proportion,” though he promised to “clear things up.”
Amber Rose POURS Her Heart Out, Says She Wants Wiz Khalifa BACK!
Since news broke last September that Amber Rose was divorcing her husband of 1-year Wiz Khalifa, all types of hell broke loose.
The two of them have had their fair share of bashing each other in the media. The love birds-turned-enemies have both accused the other of being serial cheaters. Amber quickly sought spousal and child support after filing for divorce, while Wiz filed court documents claiming Amber is a bad mother. He recently accused Amber of keeping their son Baby Bash away from him on Bash's 2nd birthday and he often hurls shady subliminals about Amber on social media. Oh, and let's not forget that track he made with Juicy J titled, "For Everybody". Hmph.
But through it all, the “Sister Code” actress and author (she has a new book coming out “How to Be A Bad B*tch”) is still in love with her son’s father AND she wants him back! In a heartfelt Instagram post, Amber put her feelings on front street and professed the love she still has for her estranged husband. She wrote:
My #ManCrushEveryday you know what it is.... We went wrong somewhere and even if we never ever get back together ( Even tho I pray, dream and hope we do) he will forever be the love of my life. The media doesn't make it easy but fuck them we gotta live for reality and not society. We forever have a bond because we made a beautiful baby from our Love. Through all the ups and downs of our relationship my heart still beats for him every single day. I'm sick of putting on a front like I'm happy without him. I'm not. He makes me happy. He's the only one who can. Regardless of how our lives Turn out in the long run he will always be the skinny tatted up stoner that has my heart
Hmm...what are your thoughts?
‘Empire’ star Grace Gealey opens up about colorism issues
Most people in the Black community would look at Grace Gealey’s skin tone and immediately categorize her as a light-skinned woman. But according to the “Empire” star, she wasn’t aware of what “light skin” was until she moved to this country as an adult.
In a new interview with Details, Gealey shared that she was born and raised in the Cayman islands and didn’t move to the States until she was 18. And when she was asked what she found most surprising about American culture, she revealed that she was shocked to discover the concept of “light skin” and “dark skin” in the Black community.
“For me personally, it’s the whole light-skinned/dark-skinned dynamic [for women of color]. I mean, there’s competition among women everywhere you go. But back home we understand that you can look like a variety of things and still be from the same culture. What I’m saying is that I’ve never felt like I was a light-skinned black woman. Never felt that way because we shared the same culture back home. But when I came to America, that’s when I started to feel that there was a lot of push-back from women. I was definitely made aware that I am light-skinned. I realized that was a thing here,” Gealey said.
Gealey further explained the difficulties she had dealing with both colorism around her skin tone and racism she experienced because she’s Black.
“It was something that people felt the need to point out. I guess maybe it’s a form of intra racism: I was discriminated against for being light-skinned and there were a lot of labels. Some people assumed that guys might like me more because of my complexion or that I had it easier in general. Which is funny because I’ve been a victim of prejudice as well: There were times when I have walked into a Rite Aid at 12 o’clock at night and had the store manager stand in the corner and stare at me while I was looking at nail polishes,” Gealey said.
Honestly, it was easy for us to to assume, like most in our community likely did, that Gealey was raised in and fully aware of what it means to be Black in America, but it’s interesting to see how different the idea of blackness is or was to her, and how odd our version of it seemed to her. And considering that our concept of light-skinned and dark-skinned seemed strange and painful to her, it seems even more evident that Back people in the States are still operating with mindsets that are clearly detrimental and obviously confusing to both ourselves and other people.
If you say so……………….. See ya next season!
Waka Flocka involved in sex tape scandal?
Waka Flock Flame may have tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Tammy Rivera, last year, but it seems like the rapper had an extramarital affair caught on tape because he recently revealed that someone recorded him having sex in a hotel.
This week, a Pornhub user uploaded a photo of Waka in which it appears that the rapper is receiving oral sex from an unknown woman in a green thong.
Waka spoke about his frustration over the photo in a tweet and claimed that he gave no consent for the photo nor did he even know that he was being recorded.
The Pornhub user has not uploaded any other photos or videos and it’s unclear if they ever will, and for the sake of Waka and his marriage, he’d better hope that this is the last we’ll hear and see of this incident.
New Music: Beyoncé Feat. Chris Brown – ‘Jealous (Remix)’
No, this is not a late April Fools’ joke. Two of R&B’s biggest stars have come together on one track. A version of Beyoncé’s “Jealous” has hit the net featuring none other than Chris Brown. It’s unclear when this remix was recorded or if it was intended as the original.
Breezy shares his insecurities while dueting with Bey on the seductive jam. “Queen Bey, I’m trippin’ ’cause I’m a little insecure when your phone go off,” he sings. “So mad I’m drunk texting / Now I’m reminiscing how we fell in love in Texas / Girl, I’m jealous.”
Listen to their sweet duet HERE

New Couple Alert: Michael Strahan and Taraji P. Henson?
Taraji Henson and Michael Strahan?? I am not sure about this one she may be just a little too much for him. I remember when Taraji was on ABC’s Kelly & Michael the two were flirting –hard..however new couple alert only time will tell!!
According to that BEAST SandraRose: There is no doubt that Taraji has her eye on Michael but We find it hard to believe that Michael reciprocates, especially since he doesn’t date black women. Wasn’t Michael just frolicking on the beach with a blond woman last week?
“Michael flirted openly with Taraji on camera, but he wasn’t kidding — off camera, he kept asking her, ‘When can I take you out?’” reports Star.
Although Taraji didn’t take his advance seriously, she reportedly accepted his offer eventually by drinking and dining with Michael at the Mandarin Oriental, adds Star.
Time will only tell if these two continue to start seeing each other, but we think they would make such a cute couple!
Michael, who is twice-divorced, and Taraji, who was linked to Khloe Kardashian‘s ex, Lamar Odom, have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
