The Daily Buzz For May 28



Kim Kardashian is a Blonde on the June 2015 Cover of Vogue Brasil

Kenya Moore Says All Black Men Are In Jail Or Gay
R.H.o.A star Kenya Moore recently sat down with HelloBeautiful and chatted about her current relationship status. The reality star made headlines this month after it was revealed her ‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ boo was already married to a white woman.
When asked about the best thing about dating outside of her race, Kenya says a lot of Black men are locked up or already taken…

Kenya Moore: For Black women, we just have to be open because there’s not a lot of eligible bachelors, that are Black, for us to choose from anymore. If you take away the ones that are gay, in jail, this is a real issue. Statistics show why we don’t have the choices. You take the ones that are gay, in jail, don’t have a job, the ones that are already married and the ones that are dating and marrying outside our race, what do you have left? You don’t have much to choose from. The nicest thing is that you have options.

Kenya also shared her thoughts on unconventional ways of meeting someone–like online, “Millionaire Matchmaker,” etc. work better than traditional dating?

I remember very clearly in my 20s, I had a roommate that met someone online and I remember how taboo it was. “You did what?! You met someone where?! You’re going to go out on a date with somebody you met online!?” It was just so shocking that we felt that this person was putting herself in danger to meet a serial killer and now it’s just completely the opposite. It’s more efficient. You can quickly discern what you like and what you don’t. You just have far more options and I think Internet dating, matchmaking services, the less conventional ways back in the day are just a thing of the past. Now, it’s for more effective to open and broaden your horizons as to what options you have out there for dating. I 100% think that online dating, match maker services in addition to your friends and conventional ways of meeting people is absolutely acceptable now.

Do you think Kenya Moore’s sentiments are right about Black men? Is there a shortage of Black men out there for Black women?


Remember Tyler Perry’s Former Employee and  alleged ‘lover’? He’s back with a LAWSUIT!
Remember Tyler Perry’s former employee who was arrested for stalking Perry after he was fired last year?
Well he’s back.
Joshua Sole, a 27-year-old Dunwoody resident, made headlines last November when he broke into Tyler Perry’s Studios in Atlanta, barricaded himself in a room and refused to come out.
It took police 4 hours to extricate Mr. Sole from the room.
Security was puzzled as to how Sole gained access into the fortified movie studio after he was escorted off the premises. It turns out Sole broke in through the ceiling.
Sole was taken into custody and booked into the Fulton County jail.
Perry filed a lawsuit against Sole asking for $100,000 plus $25,000 for attorney fees. He was also granted a restraining order against Mr. Sole.

But Sole is countersuing Perry and an employee, according to WENN.com.
Sole filed a lawsuit in Atlanta on May 13, claiming Brett Hendrix, his supervisor at Tyler Perry Studios at the time, “subjected him to verbal and physical sexual harassment” during his employment at Tyler Perry Studios.
Sole is suing Perry for libel for referring to Sole as “mentally disturbed” in a Facebook post.
Sole claims he suffered depression and anxiety as a result of the libel.
He is seeking unspecified monetary compensation for his pain and suffering, emotional distress, reckless failure to provide plaintiff with a safe work environment, battery, invasion or privacy, and pretty much everything he can stuff into the lawsuit.
Not surprisingly, Perry’s reps had no comment on the lawsuit.


Diddy Tries to Sabotage Empire?
Earlier this year there were rumblings that Sean Diddy Combs and Lee Daniels were at odds over Lee's hit drama Empire

Well a newly revealed blind item claims Diddy is still out for revenge...
According to Crazy Days and Nights in their Blind Items Revealed section
April 3, 2015
This A+ list mogul/reality star who really wants to be a rapper won’t speak out publicly against this new show, but is making sure behind the scenes that people know he is against it. A lot of his financing comes from people who consider the show to be hateful and want to make it clear they won’t provide money for any projects to people who support it.

Sean Combs/Empire..Ummmm will let go already! The show is a HIT and it’s not about YOU!


Slained Rapper Chinx Drugz Laid to Rest
Rapper Lionel ‘Chinx’ Pickens was laid to rest in Jamaica Queens, NY. As previously reported, the 31-year-old artist was shot and killed on May 17th in his car. He leaves behind a wife, two children, siblings, family and friends. His wake and funeral took place at the Greater Allen A.M.E Cathedral of New York.

Chinx’s cousin, Norman Seabrook, who is also president of the New York City corrections officers’ union, told attendees that it was unclear why the rapper would have been targeted.
"When I spoke to the precinct [about the shooting], there was no drugs in that car. There were no guns in that car. He was doing the right things — a time in his life where he was doing the right thing. This violence against each other has to stop. We’ve got to do better than this."
French Montana and Juelz Santana attended the service and shared the following reflective  posts:
"Always smiling even when it’s hard, just like his father! This home of ours ain’t perfect, but rest in peace in your perfect home now, my brother. Sometimes life hurts more than death when you lose a loved one. Terrible to love something that death can touch. #ripchinx #realone"
No further information about Chinx’s case has yet been released.


Colin Kaepernick Apologizes After Using a Photo of Flooded Houston to Make a Tasteless Joke!
In case you didn’t know, Houston, Texas is underwater right now.
Massive storms ripped through the city on Monday and flooded major parts of the city — people have been sharing photos and video of the damage all over social media.

Colin Kaepernick may not have fully understood the severity of what’s happening in Houston right now because he decided to use a photo of the floods to crack a rather insensitive joke.
The 49ers quarterback captioned a picture of Houston’s flooded streets saying, “I warned you the #7tormscoming !!! #Houston.”
You already know people were NOT feeling that! It wasn’t long before he issued an apology.

We bet he won’t do that again!


Tracy Morgan Settles With Walmart Over Deadly Crash
Tracy Morgan still hasn’t fully recovered from the disastrous July 2014 crash that claimed the life of his close friend, comedian James McNair, and left him with some sort of brain damage.
At the very least, he can comfortably put his legal beef with the mega retailer behind him now that the Associated Press is confirming that the two have reached a private settlement regarding the accident.
“Walmart did right by me and my family, and for my associates and their families. I am grateful that the case was resolved amicably,” Morgan said in a written statement.

Walmart US president and CEO Greg Foran agreed saying, “While we know there is nothing that can change what happened, Walmart has been committed to doing what’s right to help ensure the well-being of all of those who were impacted by the accident.”
“We are pleased to have reached an amicable settlement that ends this litigation,” Foran continued.
In March of this year, Walmart reached a settlement of $10 million for the family of McNair. Although Walmart had a judge seal the court papers of the terms of the agreement, a lawyer who didn’t work on the case speculated to the NYDailyNews that Morgan’s deal s likely “multiples of that — many, many multiples of that.”
Seeing that Morgan is a celebrity and he hasn’t worked since the day of the crash, he probably had a solid claim that the incident left a longing impact on his earning power.
“Our thoughts continue to go out to everyone that was involved in the accident. We are deeply sorry one of our trucks was involved,” the CEO concluded in the statement.

THE BLOOD, SWEAT and HEELS FIGHTS ARE ON! "BSH" Stars Demetria Lucas D'Oyley & Chantelle Fraser Duke It Out With Words
Demetria Lucas D'Oyley is a controversial personality on "Blood, Sweat and Heels," but is it entirely her fault? Let's face it - the world can sometimes be threatened by self-assured brown girls who stand in their space and stick to their guns. What one person might call "confidence," another might deem "narcissism." Two different extremes......but you can't control how someone else experiences you.

At various points during the both seasons of "BSH," Demetria has found herself on the receiving end of the word "judgmental" or something along those lines. Is it justified? Or is she misunderstood?
In the clip provided by Bravo, Demetria finds herself in a war of words with the newest castmember, Chantelle Fraser, who seems to have a similar "experience" a few other castmembers have had with Demetria. But we gotta ask....are Demetria's castmates the judgmental ones?

Peep the clip: 

And here's another clip from Bravo: 

Daisy's "experience" with Demetria during her battle with Cancer leads her to tears.  Should Demetria be more considerate of other people's feelings...or are the other ladies up in arms about nothing?

"Blood, Sweat and Heels" airs this Sunday on Bravo at 10p ET.


Photo Of Chicago Police “Hunting” Black Man With Deer Antlers Released
The Chicago Police Department face their fair share of corruption just like any other force across the United States. Unfortunately for their reputation, they have been trying to withhold a terribly racist photograph from the public for the last two years.

In 2013, federal prosecutors fought for the photo depicting officers Jerome Finnigan (pictured left) and Timothy McDermott (pictured right) armed and standing over an unidentified Black man with deer antlers strapped to his head, as to imply they earned their paychecks hunting down African-Americans.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, a federal judge had finally heard enough of the defense’s stalling and ordered the photo to be released, which ultimately was the final blow for their careers in law enforcement that was marred in corruption.
Finnigan was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being convicted of robbery in 2013, where it was discovered he was the Alonzo Harris of a group of dirty cops who burglarized houses on the same streets they were hired to protect. As for McDermott, he was previously summoned to a courtroom on four separate occasions for misconduct where it’s estimated he costed the city hundreds of thousands in damages and legal fees.

And while it’s expected that litigation takes time, the two years it to the photo to be unsealed was largely due to McDermott’s attorney, Daniel Herbert’s outlandish claims of defense as to why the two crooked officers would be posing with a Black man with antlers.
“What’s to say this individual wasn’t performing at a Christmas pageant in the district and was dressed as a reindeer and had taken the reindeer suit off? Again, I don’t mean to make preposterous arguments, but the charges in this case, they warrant that,” he reportedly said in court. He also suggested that the man very well have been a willing participant in the ordeal.
Which is why, so many people say the system is broken. The display of unbelievable abuse of a police uniform is right below for your eyes to witness.


Lifestyle For Him: Louis Vuitton Line Up Sneaker Boot
This original “two-in-one” sneaker boot contrasts plain calf leather at the front with Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas at the back – a combination echoed in the two-tone rubber sole. The discreet zipper on the heel enables it to be slipped on and off with ease.

And now…the price: $755.
