Chrissy told the publication about her experience meeting Justin Bieber on “Lip Sync Battle”-“He’s just really fun. The kid is so young still, but he does have this weird, charming way about him. I understand [now] why people found him fascinating about him in the first place. He’s a charming little bastard, and I fell for it completely. I became a Belieber, for sure.”


Toni Braxton On What you should Expect to see in Season 5 of ‘Braxton Family Values’
Six-time Grammy Award winning singer Toni Braxton is back in the spotlight where she belongs. For a while, the star of WEtv’s reality TV series Braxton Family Values was forced to take a backseat to her ungrateful little sister, Tamar Braxton, who refused to credit Toni with her overnight success.
After Tamar was publicly spanked by Toni’s personal assistant, Zo, and others who are no longer in her camp, Toni emerged unscathed from the behind-the-scenes family drama.

Toni sat down with HuffPost Live to discuss what fans should expect on the fifth season of WEtv’s Braxton Family Values.

Mariah Carey: Sidelined in Sin City By Bronchitis
Just when things seemed to be getting off to a fabulous start, Mariah Carey pulled the plug on her Wednesday night (May 13) “#1 To Infinity” show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The “Someday” singer was just three shows in to her Sin City residency when she developed bronchitis which made it necessary to cancel her gig at the last minute.
Carey shared via social media, “Hey guys.. I’ve been fighting bronchitis for the past few days.. almost better but on mandatory vocal rest per doctor’s orders. I’m so sorry to cancel tonight’s show but I promise to make it up to you!!! Love you always, MC.” 


Did You Know Beyonce Had Another Met Gala Elevator Incident?
Apparently Beyonce had yet another elevator incident during this year's Met Gala, fortunately no Jay-Z's were harmed this time.
According to Bey's hairstylist, the infamous high ponytail was not Beyonce's first choice, but it was a last minute decision that pulled it all together.
Via Us Magazine

What most don't know is that the "Flawless" singer's effortless look was finalized in the elevator. No, not that elevator, but in the elevator of her apartment building on the way to the swanky event's carpet. 

Beyonce's longtime hairstylist Neal Farinah (of the Neal Farinah Salon in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene neighborhood on Fulton Street) was on hand for the quick fix, and exclusively told Us Weekly’s Gwen Flamberg about the last-minute switch up.

"For the Met Ball we did that high ponytail but that wasn't supposed to be the style," Farinah revealed. "We did that in the elevator as she was on the way out." 
Originally Bey's long locks were entirely wrapped up in "an asian-inspired chignon," but Farinah said the Grammy winner felt the look might be too "costumey," and made a spur-of-the-moment decision. 

"Then we were in the elevator on the way down, and she looks at me and says 'Neal, I want to change my hair, will you change my hair?' And I said, 'Honey, there could be cameras in the elevator,'" Farinah quipped, referencing last year's infamous "Elevatorgate" in which her sister Solange Knowles got into a physical altercation with her husband Jay Z. "She says, 'You have 5 minutes.' And I said, 'Girl, what do you want me to do with the hair?' And she wanted a high ponytail. With Beyonce, she looks at herself and she says, 'This isn't right, let's change it.'" 

And change it he did. Many like it, some disliked it. I think it looks great for an elevator look. Oh, and for those asking, a chignon is a fancy word for a bun.




Georgia Principal Fired After ‘Black People’ Graduation Comment!
The principal of a Georgia alternative high school has been fired after her racist graduation comments went public.
Nancy Gordeuk, the principal of TNT Academy, sparked outrage when she tried to get black people to listen to the valedictorian give a speech during a graduation ceremony.
Gordeuk mistakenly dismissed the graduation class and their families before the valedictorian, who is white, had given his speech..
The valedictorian’s mother who was sitting in the front row, reminded Gordeuk that her son had not given his speech yet.

By that time, half of the audience was already out in the hall. Gordeuk approached the microphone and called for the families and graduates to return to the auditorium.
“You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech,” Gordeuk said as the audience continued to file out.
“Look who’s leaving — all the black people,” said Gordeuk, who is white.
At that point, the audience exploded and many of them walked out. Some of the audience members approached the podium and chastised Gordeuk for her racist statements. The hubbub was caught on video.
Georgia NAACP president Francys Johnson confirmed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution had been fired.
WXIA-TV reported Dr. Heidi Anderson, chair of the board of directors of TNT Academy, wrote in a letter to the Gwinnett County NAACP that the board had voted to fire Gordeuk.
“In light of recent events, the board of directors of TNT Academy has moved to dismiss Nancy Gordeuk as principal,” Anderson said. “During the coming transition, we will continue to prioritize support for our most recent graduates. Moreover, we will continue our commitment to providing students with the best educational classes, transcription services and academic credit recovery possible.”

“It’s just very sad,” Jada Gibson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday. She was there to attend the graduation of her cousin.

Ex-NFL star Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson is accused of refusing to pay the bills on his Florida mansion and now he is in danger of being kicked out– due to him being slapped with a foreclosure lawsuit earlier this month, According to my girls over at theJasmineBRAND.com.

Back in February, Johnson was hit was a lien by the Long Lake Ranches West Homeowners Association on February 23rd in Broward County, FL.

The doc stated that Johnson failed to pay a total of $3,503 to his Homeowners Associations from July 2014 to March 2015. He owes $1,133 for the first quarter and $1,237 for the 2nd quarter.

The lien wasn’t the first financial setback Johnson has faced over his Florida home, having been slapped with a previous lien for nearly $8k last year and only recently paying it off.
Then on May 7th, the home owners association hit him with a lawsuit demanding they be allowed to foreclose on his Florida mansion.

The suit filed in Broward County, FL is seeking to have the court allow them to remove Johnson out of his home and sell off the property at public auction. Johnson has yet to respond to the legal battle yet.

Johnson purchased the Davie, FL pad back in 2005 for $1,365,000 …. and it was also the scene of the infamous domestic violence arrest with his now ex-wife Evelyn Lozada. See the exclusive court docs Courtesy of thejamsimebrand.

Karrueche Tran Cries: Chris Brown's Mom Joyce Hopkins Introduces Ex To Baby Royalty Before Romantic Birthday Reunion!
Will Karrueche Tran 'fall in love' with baby Royalty and forgive Chris Brown?

Karrueche Tran celebrates her birthday in just a few days (May 17). Apparently, on-and-off again boyfriend Chris Brown hopes to win Tran's heart back with a "romantic" reunion. But is Breezy's own mom Joyce Hawkins already one step ahead?
When the 26-year-old hip-hop superstar was away, Hawkins finally decided to introduce Tran to baby daughter Royalty - face-to-face.

Apparently, Hawkins and the aspiring Instagram still talk regularly. During a recent phone conversation, the topic of Brown's "love child" came up:
"Karrueche started asking questions about [Royalty]. She asked Joyce what she's like. Kae's really only seen pictures of her online and asked Joyce if she looked more like Chris or her mother," an alleged insider tells the popular gossip webloid HollywoodLife.com. "Joyce told her she looked like Chris and Karrueche said, 'Well, I'm sure she's cute as a button.'" 

And that really tore at Hawkins' heart, so she went ultimately behind her son's back for the sake of his relationship with the brunette beauty:

"Joyce did something that Chris doesn't even know," the snitch continues. "At that moment, she told Karrueche she'd call her right back and she did, but for this time, she FaceTimed her. Kae had answered it and it was Joyce and Royalty on the other end! Joyce wanted Kae to see Royalty's beauty for herself."
So, how did Tran supposedly react? Tears [of joy]?

"She started crying and confided in Joyce, telling her that she had always wanted a baby by Chris," the insider explains. "She wanted him to experience being a father for the first time with her... [Joyce] told Karrueche to stop crying and to talk to Chris. Joyce loves Karrueche a lot, like she's her own child and she wants her to be happy in life, and with Chris."

But will another baby help fix things between them for good? Well, maybe fans will find out later this month...

So would Tran make a good stepmother?


OMG! Woman accused of killing man with penis-enlargement injection is jailed as judge accuses her of offering $5,000 bribe to jury 
A woman accused of causing a man's death with an injection of silicone he hoped would enlarge his penis has been jailed after a judge ruled she was complicit in a scheme to bribe potential jurors. 
The ruling came Tuesday after the judge questioned prospective jurors in Kasia Rivera's case.
Three of the prospective jurors said they had been approached by a man on Friday, and two said they were offered $5,000 bribes. 
At least one said the man offering the bribe claimed Rivera was his aunt, according to NJ.com.
One of the jurors appeared to be tempted, telling the man that $5,000 was 'a little cheap', according to the website.

Rivera lives in East Orange. She has denied involvement in any scheme. But the judge revoked her bail and ruled none of the three potential jurors could serve on the trial.
Rivera faces charges of reckless manslaughter and unauthorized practice of medicine. 
She has maintained her innocence. 
The only cosmetic use for non-encapsulated medical silicone approved by the FDA is Botox, for use around the eyes.
But black market illegal use by untrained practitioners continues as a quick-fix budget alternative to cosmetic surgery. Doctors say the slow economy has also fueled the trade.
While side effects are thought to be relatively rare, in some cases silicone will migrate through the bloodstream, resulting in a potentially fatal clot in the heart or brain or lungs.
The silicone can also migrate through tissue leaving disfiguring lumps.There is also no guarantee of medical grade silicon at so called 'pumping parties' cosmetic events held in homes, offices and even motel rooms.
Industrial-grade silicone purchased hardware stores is sometimes used as are toxic substitutes such as castor oil, mineral oil and petroleum jelly.

YUK!
