IN EMPIRE OFF EPISODE NEWS: "Empire" Starlet AzMarie Livingston Reportedly Splits From Raven-Symone!
Hmmmm......would you imagine that Raven Symone is just as annoying at home as she is on television? Is she that type of chick who says dumb and and inappropriate stuff to your Grandma at Thanksgiving? Would she intentionally do something to upset your God-fearing Mama? We don't know for sure.....but it's highly unlikely that she knows how to turn off her "personality" when the cameras aren't rolling.
For whatever reason....she and AzMarie Livingston (former "ANTM" contestant and current "Empire" star) have split. That's all according to Us Weekly.
The two began dating back in 2012 (long before Raven semi-officially came out of the closet) and it’s unclear why they parted ways. But we suspect it's Raven mouth, attitude and fashion sense. But that's just us.....
Maybe Raven left AzMarie because her name was ghetto? Or maybe she left AzMarie because she "identifies" as black. #Raven has so many issues and hangups...who knows.
Interestingly, this morning on "The View," Raven chimed in on a discussion about tall men loving to date short women revealing, "Well I don't date men anyway." She also dropped a nugget admitting that yes, she's tried men and their....parts....and she's not missing anything………Oh.

Kelly Rowland wants her Role Expanded!
Rowland is petitioning Empire‘s producers to beef up her role on the soap opera musical.
Rowland plays Leah Walker, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard)’s mentally unstable mom who appears only in flashbacks on the show.
But Rowland wants to spread her wings and prove she’s a better actress than her former Destiny’s Child bandmate, Beyonce Knowles-Carter.
Rowland may get her wish.
Empire showrunner Ilene Chaiken told Variety that Rowland’s character will be expanded in season 2.
Chaiken also said Leah Walker’s confusing background will be cleared up in due time.
“You learn a lot of things, and we reveal them slowly — it’s a very slow burn over the course of the season,” Chaiken told Variety.
She added; “Who is Lucious Lyon? How did he become the person he is? This is the story we’re telling with Kelly Rowland in the flashbacks. And the reveals will ultimately be very consequential.”
Leah’s story will continue to be told in flashbacks until the day she and her son meet again.
In the meantime she took her cutie pie 14-month-old son, Titan Jewell, to the pumpkin patch on Saturday.
Titan’s daddy, Tim Witherspoon, also tagged along to help pick out the perfect pumpkin for Halloween.

CREW BEEF? Lil Wayne's Crew Reportedly Stepped To Diddy's Crew In Miami At The Club
Over the weekend in Miami. The 2015 REVOLT Music Conference went down and Sean Combs receive the key to the City of Miami Beach, LA Reid was honored with the "Started From The Bottom". The entire weekend was a wonderful experience for networking and knowledge exchange. Then, some ratchet -ish happened...
TMZ is reporting about an "alleged" scuffle between RMC founder Sean Combs and Miami-based rapper Lil Wayne (shown above in an older photo). Apparently something went down at Club LIV in Miami on Sunday night. While there are no pics or video, sources told the site that both Diddy and Weezy got a little testy in the VIP section.
They're saying that Weezy tried to say hello to Diddy but the N.O. rapper got offended after Bad Boy security stopped him and his crew and asked to search them. Weezy got so upset that he "accidentally" spilled a drink on one of the security guards and this led to some shoving and yelling from both parties. In the end, we're told the gentlemen talked it out like grown men and were about to get on to popping bottles without anyone getting arrested or kicked out of the club.
Oh? Stay tuned for more developments!
What the CLOSET TEA HERE? LHHH’s Milan Christopher Criticizes Amber For Not Realizing Her Ex Was Gay
If you watch Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, you watched one of the show’s cast members, Miles Brock, officially come out the closet to his family and ex-girlfriend Amber. While the experience seemed to be challenging to all parties involved, Miles’ boyfriend, Milan Christopher, seemed to be baffled that Amber was unaware that her now ex (Miles) was bi-sexual.
During the episode, he tweeted:
Amber caught wind of Milan’s tweets and posted the following message on Instagram.
@siirbrock you should get your little gingerbread man. Out of all of the times for him to want to show his ass he would pick today! Wow…. What an attention seeker. Haven’t you gotten enough?? Today is a very emotional day for me. Unlike others! Most people are familiar with Him showing his ass. I’m going to need him to start showing some class. I respect your relationship. Just do me this favor and make sure your sweetie keeps everything #Amber out of his mouth. Me, I have absolutely nothing against same sex relationships. I do have a problem with someone kicking a woman when she’s down. The same woman you claim to have oh so much love for. Not a good look! Good luck on your future tho! #NoHateAllLove#TeamFabbAbb #TeamAmberrLaura#WelcomeToFabbsLife #YouHappyRight#JustLove #GingerBreadManHaveASeat
And see her reaction to Miles’ big reveal.

Khloe Kardashian Speaks: You Can’t Prepare For This ALSO tabloids National Enquirer and Radar Online paid top dollar for photos of an unresponsive Lamar at The Love Ranch!
Khloe Kardashian to took to her official website to thank everyone for their support and prayers for her estranged husband, Lamar Odom. Khloe has been by Lamar’s side for a week after he overdosed on “herbal Viagra” while partying with hookers at a Nevada brothel.
“The past week has been incredibly difficult. I am so thankful to family, friends, and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar.
I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise Hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work. Under their amazing care, incredible strides have been made.
You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure. Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!”
Khloe is currently in Los Angeles with Odom where he’s being treated for complications stemming from the overdose. In the meantime, Gossip tabloids National Enquirer and Radar Online paid top dollar for photos of an unresponsive Lamar Odom at Nevadas’s Love Ranch.
Apparently the brothel’s prostitutes were more concerned with taking photos of Odom than calling 911 and getting help for him. There are also reports that a mystery man cleaned out Odom’s room before help arrived.
The blurry cell phone photos show Odom “covered in blood” and barely breathing after he overdosed on cocaine on Tuesday.
SHAMEFUL!
BACKTRACKING MUCH? Anthony Mackie Says He Did Not Endorse Donald Trump
Anthony Mackie wants you to know he is not a Donald Trump supporter. Monday afternoon after his interview with BET angered fans and caused Black Twitter to go off, Mackie tweeted:
Sorry Donald, that wasn’t an endorsement. Just a bad attempt at a joke, I guess?
While doing interviews for his new film Our Brand is Crisis, Mackie was asked if he would rather run Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump’s campaign, and he said Trump without a doubt. “I would 100 percent want to run Trump’s campaign. 100 percent. I mean, first that’ll be the best party ever when he won, and second, Trump’s an easy sell.”
Mackie, who plays a campaign manager in the film opposite Sandra Bullock, also went on to say he felt like Trump “worked his way up from nothing.” But, Mackie had a whole other response about the Presidential candidates, particularly the Republicans when we talked to him during the same press junket.
He sat down with our friends at HipHollywood and they asked Mackie if he was optimistic about this crop of candidates and he told them: “The Republican Party is just a mess, I mean, I don’t think they even have humans running, they are about to throw a cow in the race. The Democratic Party, which I am proud to say, in their debate they talked abut more than the Republican party talked about in their first two debates. So I think there is a definite push from the Democrats for answers, but I think there is a dumbing down of American politics on the Republican side that’s going to come to a ferocious head.”
So who would Mackie vote for? The 37 year old actor told us it would be … wait for it, Kanye West.
Our Brand is Crisis hits theaters October 30th.
Listen to a new cover of Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson on a BAMBOO FLUTE!
We’ve said before that “Smooth Criminal” demonstrates the “ecstatic anger in Michael Jackson’s soul.” That kind of energy makes Jackson’s 1987 single a tough song to cover, and yet Yoshimi Tsujimoto has done it beautifully on a shakuhachi, which is a bamboo flute, and koto, a string instrument. Feel free to sing along as the women race through the hit, but it’s not necessary – the flute speaks for itself.
Watch Tsujimoto and co. HERE.

AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
‘SLEEPY TIME’
For argument’s sake lets go ahead and assume it’s perfectly natural to want to just lay down and catch a few zzzz’s in the middle of shopping at Walmart. Why not go over to the pillow aisle instead of resting on a towel next to a pair of Sketchers?
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
