#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Parties With Cynthia Bailey & Sheree Whitfield For Kenya Moore’s Birthday
Well look who’s getting along and playing nice…. “RHOA” original divas NeNe Leakes, Cynthia Bailey and Sheree Whitfield linked up with their co-star Kenya Moore to celebrate her birthday recently. Oh? NeNe hanging out with Cynthia, Sheree AND Kenya? Yep, we probably wouldn’t have believed it either if we didn’t see the pics.
Looks like the ladies have let bygones be bygones and are having fun living it up for Kenya’s birthday celebration.
NeNe posted the group shot on her IG account and gave Kenya a birthday shout out, saying, "A little Birthday Fun for Kenya Moore! #theoriginals #theunforgettables #slay @shereewhitfield @thekenyamoore @cynthiabailey10 #happybirthdayTwirl" Well good for them.
Speaking of Kenya, it seemingly appears she may have found another new beau:Yep, the guy from the gym on a recent episode.
The former USA pageant queen posted up a picture of fitness trainer Matt (above) whom she thanked for making her birthday extra special. She said, "#mcm @livefastfitness #meetmatt Thanks for a wonderful birthday"
And on his IG:
Matt posted up this lovey dovey shot of them on a boat a few weeks ago with the caption, "Back from paradise! But I kept a piece for myself and brought her back to ATL with me."……Oh?
There are also new pictures of Kenya and Matt spotted together at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta recently. Guess Kenya has a man....
New Music: Chris Brown – M.F.T.R. (Remix)
If you know Chris Brown, you know that he’s slowly becoming the “remix” king when it comes to revamping some of the toughest tracks out. This time around, he chose to tackle former collaborator Pusha T’s track, “M.F.T.R.” – which originally features The-Dream.
Dropping a few bars and exercising a few vocals over the Boi-1da production, Breezy creeps up on us with the new remix. “N*ggas ain’t been to church in a minute, but it’s funny how that tech make a n*gga get religious,” he spits within the first 30-seconds of the track.
It’s crazy to think Chris has been rapping more now when back in 2010 when his In My Zone tape dropped, plenty of people were looking sideways at his decision to drop a few bars. Kudos to Breezy!
Take a listen to “M.F.T.R.” HERE

What Did The Braxton Sisters Really Think Of The Toni Braxton Movie? And the ratings are IN!
Last Sunday night, many folks were glued to their TVs for Lifetime’s presentation of “Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart”. While the film received generally rave reviews from the social media masses, what did Toni’s sisters, Traci, Trina, Tamar and Towanda, think about how they were portrayed?
All the Braxton sisters were actively Tweeting away during the Toni Braxton movie as they watched the portrayals of themselves on the small screen. Luckily, they all seemed generally pleased with the project.
While Trina didn’t particularly tweet her feelings on the film, she did retweet a lot of fans who were excited to see the movie. Hopefully, she enjoyed it as well. But in the meantime The ratings are in, and whether or not it was the huge blizzard Jonas causing 90 million Americans to stay indoors on the night of the premiere that lead to these ratings on not, the Toni Braxton biopic was a hit!
Social media was on fire as newcomer Lex Scott Davis channeled Toni Braxton (and the Braxton sisters got their own eyebrow raising portrayals). It all lead to 3.6 million Total Viewers, according to Nielsen Fast Cable Ratings. Get it!
The movie was the most tweeted about program on television Saturday, with an 18% share of all Twitter TV activity. And you already know what was taking up much of that activity: Those damn MEMES.
We're still left wondering why Lex's speaking voice didn't match Toni's singing voice. Once we got past that, and the somewhat low-energy performance as Toni, we were here for ALL the rest of it. Including how she nailed Toni's look.
From the shade within the first 60 seconds about "Tamar always being flat," to Debbie Morgan coming for Angela Bassett's crown for the "Best Kick Your Cheating Ass Out" scene to that epic shade thrown at Towanda through the way they had Skye P. Marshall playing her....we loved every second. The casting was on point too -- Papa Braxton, Babyface, Tamar Braxton....nailed it!
Overall, Lifetime didn't let us down. Cheers to that!

— Rihanna (@rihanna) January 4, 2016
Even Kendall Jenner wishes she owned these D&G headphones! The supermodel labeled them as the ultimate on-duty accessory for her 2015 Christmas wish list.
The release date for ANTI has yet to be confirmed but one thing Rihanna did make known is that Kanye West will not be producing the album.
“FYI Kanye is not EPing Anti!!! We’re both working on our own projects right now!” she wrote in response to a fan.
Meanwhile, the first date of Rihanna’s upcoming 2016 Anti world tour is quickly approaching. She will kick off the 40-date concert series on Feb. 26 in San Diego with special guest Travi$ Scott, then will travel to Europe in June with Big Sean and the Weeknd.
Bobby Brown's Sister Working On A Tell-All; Says Bobbi Kris Could've Been Saved
Leolah Brown always has something interesting to say, so it's no wonder that she's working on a tell-all book about the death of Bobbi Kris.
By now we know one thing, Leolah Brown is not buying the causes of Whitney and Bobby Kristina's deaths. She thinks they were murdered and there has been a massive coverup. Leolah has taken to her Facebook page to document her thoughts for months and Sunday was no different. In a post on her official Facebook page, Leolah says that Bobbi Kristina was responsive at one point and could have been saved, but Pat Houston had other plans.
"To comment on Dr. Jollie Harris lll, who spoke with Radar; he was absolutely 100% correct about Bobbi Kristina being able to live," says Leolah. "Pat Garland and others (I won't mention here) did everything they could to literally see to it that Bobbi Kristina was completely gone! I said this before and I will say it again. Bobbi Kristina was doing fine. She was communicating with us and looked forward to coming home. And in her communicating to us she wanted Pat to stay far away from her! This is what I fought to do for Krissi! However, my voice went unheard once again! But like I said, IT AIN'T OVER!"
Leolah went on to say that the REAL story of Bobbi's death will be detailed in her upcoming book.
As far as Pat, Leolah's feud isn't over with her. "I said this before and I am saying it again just in case. Whitney Houston NEVER hired Pat as her manager for starters! Whitney's "WILL" does not have Pat Garland, Houston or whatever name she uses, anywhere on it!"
She continues, "Furthermore, Whitney signed papers with ME, LEOLAH BROWN MUHAMMAD,..with Pat PRESENT at the time.. along with other witnesses as THE GUARDIAN (FULL CUSTODY) of Bobbi Kristina Brown! Yes I said it! If any paper work or documents should ever come up saying anything otherwise, IT IS INDEED FORGED! There are penalties for that! Leave me alone! I and 10,000 others will come behind me! Don't play with me!"
President Obama Bans Solitary Confinement for Juveniles in Federal Prisons
President Obama has announced a ban on solitary confinement for juvenile offenders in the federal prison system, saying the punishment can cause damaging psychological problems.
via Washington Post:
In an op-ed that appears in Tuesday editions of The Washington Post, the president outlines a series of executive actions that also prohibit federal corrections officials from punishing prisoners who commit “low-level infractions” with solitary confinement. The new rules also call for expanding treatment for mentally ill prisoners.
The president’s reforms are expected to affect about 10,000 inmates.
The reforms come six months after Obama, as part of a broader criminal-justice reform push, ordered the Justice Department to study how solitary confinement was being used by the federal Bureau of Prisons.
The move is another example of the extent to which the nation’s first African American president now seems willing to tackle delicate questions of race and criminal justice as he closes out his presidency. Obama has also been focused on trying to put in place programs to help ex-offenders reintegrate into society once they have left prison.
“How can we subject prisoners to unnecessary solitary confinement, knowing its effects, and then expect them to return to our communities as whole people?” the president wrote in his op-ed. “It doesn’t make us safer. It’s an affront to our common humanity.”
He said he hoped his reforms at the federal level will serve as a model for states to rethink their rules on the issue.
At least a dozen states have taken steps in the past two years to curtail the use of solitary confinement, either in response to lawsuits or through legislative and administrative changes. An increasing number of studies show a connection between isolating prisoners and higher rates of recidivism.
One of Future's bodyguard was reportedly shot in his own home in Georgia!
Sadly, one of Future’s bodyguards, Michael Tanner Phillips, was shot & killed today in his own home in Jonesboro, Goergia around 1:30 p.m Fox 5 Atlanta reports.
The gunman fled the scene in a vehicle, but details on who that might be or what the car looked like is unknown at the time. Lieutenant Frank Thomas of the Clayton County Police Department made the following statement, "Some of the neighbors heard some arguing and some gunshots. We're still interviewing some of them to try and piece together everything at this time."
Phillips’ wife, who happens to be currently pregnant, was reportedly at home at the time of the shooting, but thankfully didn't witness it.
Future has yet to comment on the situation.
