#RHOA: NeNe Leakes Insists She Never Made Fun Of Kim Fields’ Husband; Does NOT Think Kenya Moore Is Pregnant!
NeNe Leakes is Andy Cohen‘s guest on Watch What Happens Live tonight. She dishes on all the recent Real Housewives of Atlanta drama and defends the part she played in the gossip about Kim Fields‘ husband.
Andy asks NeNe what she thinks about Matt saying he loves Kenya Moore. “It’s really good for Kenya to find love,” she says. “At first I didn’t think he was the one for Kenya, but I have seen him and Kenya together. He was at Kenya’s birthday dinner and I think Kenya’s feeling him.”
Moving on to the Kenya, Kim, and Chris drama, Andy points out, “NeNe, you were in on that pile up!” NeNe insists, “I was NOT!” “Let’s be clear, Andy Cohen, you are not going to throw me under the bus over here,” adds NeNe. “There was something that happened on the bus – on the real bus – in Jamaica that was never seen on the show that Phaedra, myself, and Porsha were talking about. We had a little run-in with Chris. We did, and Chris apologized later. I think that’s where our comments were coming from. Chris was recently at my home – he was there at my home during Super Bowl. I do not think that Chris is gay. If I think you are gay, I will say it. I don’t think Chris is gay at all. I want to be clear about that. I don’t think Chris is gay. At all.
NeNe claims she knew Sheree Whitfield would spill the tea to Kim. “Because she’s been just carrying tea all season. When we sat down, I was looking at Sheree like, she’s about to bust out with something. I was shocked at what she was saying though – and I was even shocked that she Googled to find out if he was fruity.”
A viewer calls out NeNe for laughing when Kenya was talking about Chris, but then acting appalled and kissing Kim‘s butt. “I love a good laugh. The things Kenya were saying were really really funny and I will laugh at anything. But after a while I thought it was going a little bit far.”
Later, Andy argues, “But you guys all used it as an insult.” NeNe yells, “So?!” Was Kenya‘s apology to Cynthia Bailey sincere? “I did not think Kenya was sincere at all. At the table I was rolling my eyes and everything. They just didn’t catch all that.”
Is NeNe and Cynthia‘s friendship stronger? “I don’t know if it’s stronger than it was before. Cynthia and I are still a work in progress, but we’re really good friends. It’s just one of those things where we can’t deny the chemistry we have. I might want to be like, ‘I don’t like Cynthia anymore,’ but it’s one of those things I can’t help. We just have a really good connection.”
When asked if she thinks Porsha Williams has changed since she joined the show, NeNe says “100%” yes, and not all for the better. “When we first met her, she was the first lady. She couldn’t even go to the strip club, and now she’s the Queen of THOT.”
NeNe admits she doesn’t think Kim fits in on Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Now, I like Kim, let’s just be clear about that,” she adds. “I really do like Kim. It’s something about Kim that’s cool on the show, that she’s different than all of us, that’s kind of cool. But there’s parts that she just doesn’t fit in. It’s weird like Kim never ever watched reality TV before. It’s just like weird.”
Does NeNe think Donald Trump will be a good president? “He probably would make a good president. Donald has gained a lot of momentum. I get so many people asking me about Donald like I’m a part of his campaign. I’m not. I’m not voting for Donald, but I like Donald as a person. He is gonna be good. He is gonna be running. He is gonna be tough to beat. He ain’t going down without a fight.”
When asked who she felt wasn’t happy about her return, NeNe admits, “I was really surprised that Phaedra and Porsha didn’t give me a warm welcoming. We were good friends, we hung out, so I was surprised that they didn’t give me a warm welcoming.”
What would NeNe have done if Kenya pulled out her chair like she did to Kim? “Kenya would not be moving my chair any kind of way. She would be walking all around my chair.”
A caller asks NeNe‘s opinion on Phaedra Parks talking about God while acting like a floozy. NeNe takes a very long sip of her drink.
NeNe comments, “I don’t know if Matt is the one but it is really good seeing Kenya with someone – someone to focus her attention on because that means she doesn’t have to come for us.”
Oh? What do you think about Moosie I meant Nene comments especially the one about Trump?

WELL DAMN! Trina ATTACKS A Dude In Miami!
Trina went old school 305 hood chick on a fan last night! And it was all caught on video.
Here’s the tea thus far….That “Baddest B*tch” was tapped to perform at Justin’s Bar & Lounge in Miami last night. What started out as a good night ended with Trina breaking bad on a dude outside of the club.
After her gig was up, ish went totally left outside of Justin's.
The Diamond Princess was caught on camera screaming at a dude to "go home" and then ends up dropping a two piece on him before security broke them up. There are conflicting reports on what exactly was going on. We've been told the "5 Star" rapper was going off on a fan who disrespected her. Then, we were told the guy is actually one of her friends and she was supposedly breaking up a fight between him and another friend.
Either way, she unleashed the BEAST. Check it below:
Trina has went hood smh! ONLY AT JUSTINS..... I ain't gone lie she went in his shiit #yallMissedIt

Well whatever the case this still wasn’t necessary! DO BETTER TRINA!
FROM THE ARE YOU SERIOUS FILES? Jared Fogle Challenges 15 Year Sentence
Subway's Jared Fogle is challenging his 15-year jail sentence and is gearing up to appeal his sentence.
In November, Fogle plead guilty to sex with minors and child pornography charges and was sentenced to 15.6 years in prison. He was also diagnosed with "mild pedophilia" and hyper-sexuality." According to Fogle, he is being punished for his fantasies. His attorneys say the judge had no right to exceed the maximum sentencing guideline, 13 years, citing the judge as saying, This defendant is obsessed with child pornography and having sex with minors. He fantasized about it in telephone conversations."
Fogle's lawyers believe that fantasies should not be held against him in criminal court. They say the fantasies and "requests to third parties" were never acted upon. They are requesting an appeal and another sentencing hearing.
NE-YO and Crystal Renay Are Married! Go Inside Their Los Angeles Wedding Courtesy of PEOPLE Magazine
NE-YO found his "One in a Million." The R&B star and model fiancée Crystal Renay tied the knot Saturday in front of family and friends near Los Angeles, PEOPLE magazine has exclusively revealed.
"We can't wait to start our life together," NE-YO, 36, tells PEOPLE. "We're looking forward to just being each others' best friend."
The couple began dating shortly after meeting for a possible collaboration for his 2015 album Non-Fiction, and the Grammy winner knew even then they had a connection, which led to his popping the question last summer.
"I kind of knew right away," he says, adding: "From that first encounter, I knew there was something different about her, something special."
The happy couple's big day comes just before they will welcome their first child together (NE-YO is already dad to daughter Madilyn Grace, 5, and son Mason Evan, 4, from a previous relationship). And the expectant bride took her growing belly into consideration as she got her gown.
"When I went to my first fitting, I had actually just found out the day before that I was pregnant, so from the beginning of the whole dress process, we knew that it would be a growing belly," says Renay.
And the newlyweds did have some pre-ceremony jitters – but only from a practical perspective.
"I'm gonna be honest: I'm nine months pregnant – I'm nervous about falling on my face!" Renay told PEOPLE the day before the wedding.
Her soon-to-be husband is in agreement, adding: "I'm more concerned about her making it all that way down that aisle or if the water breaks or something."
But the couple could barely contain their excitement leading up to their "I Do."
"This is big for me. I'm not doing this again, so I'm happy that my family and friends are able to be there to share this moment with us," says NE-YO. "We're human being, so we're gonna bump heads on different things, but we've agreed that this is gonna be a marriage that lasts."
CONGRATS!

Lock of John Lennon’s hair fetches $35,000 at auction
A lock of John Lennon’s hair that was snipped as he prepared for a film role has sold for $35,000.
Dallas-based Heritage Auctions said Saturday that the 4-inch lock of hair was purchased by Paul Fraser, a United Kingdom-based memorabilia collector.
A German hairdresser kept a tuft of Lennon’s hair after giving him a trim before the Beatle started shooting “How I Won the War,” a dark comedy released in 1967. The film follows the World War II misadventures of British troops led by an inept commander.
The hair was one of several Beatles-related items on auction. A photograph of the iconic band signed by all four members went for $42,500. And a sealed copy of the band’s “butcher” cover for the “Yesterday and Today” album went for $125,000.
BeBe Winans Preps Autobiographical Play, New Standards Album
*BeBe Winans has never cared what people — including the church — thought about him or his artistry. In a recnt Interview he has said the following. “I’ve never been afraid of what people thought. I’ve never been driven by success. I enjoy it, but that’s not my driving force. I need to tell the story of where I am.”
Winans’ story is quite the page-turner. His family is a dynasty of sorts within the gospel music community. Four of his older brothers formed the legendary group The Winans and quickly moved from the Detroit music scene to the national stage with 1981’s landmark “The Question Is.”
BeBe followed a few years later, with a cover of a song from the soundtrack of the feature film An Officer And A Gentleman, “Up Where We Belong” by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. Winans and his sister CeCe transformed the pop romantic ballad into a stirring plea to our Father that foretold their amazing musical ministry.
A couple of years later, BeBe & CeCe released the first of a series of slickly produced, genre-defying albums — BeBe & CeCe Winans, Heaven, Different Lifestyles, First Christmas, and Relationships — that featured singles that topped both the gospel and R & B charts, at a time when that type of cross-over success was frowned upon by the church.
The duo enjoyed massive R & B, Christian, and Gospel radio hits like “I.O.U. Me”, “Heaven”, “Lost Without You”, “Addictive Love”, and “I’ll Take You There”, and Winans collaborated with “secular” artists like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Luther Vandross. Winans seemingly thumbed his nose at those who judged him for being “unequally yoked” with his “worldly” collaborators.
Let me be very clear here: I was not one of those people. At a time when I didn’t want to hear anything that traditional gospel singers like Shirley Caesar or Yolanda Adams had to sing, Winans’ early music gently led me to a closer relationship with God by pairing a new inspirational message with the R & B grooves I was used to.
I started my conversation with Winans by thanking him for music that had helped me through some very difficult times.
“That means a lot,”. “People ask why I do what I do, and what you just said is the reason why I do what I do. What you heard on your end is the same thing I experienced on my end before it came to you. I learned early on to not be afraid to let people know me through my songwriting.”
The six-time Grammy winner recalled a particular song, “Don’t Cry For Me”, and the impact that it had on him years after he wrote it for his 1988 Heaven album.
“When my brother Ronald passed, it was one of the most devastating moments that has happened to me. The day after he passed, I was to the point where I was so devastated I couldn’t even cry. I was driving, and what comes on the radio? “Don’t Cry For Me”. I had to pull the car over. It was as if my brother was saying ‘don’t cry for me, don’t shed a tear…’. All of those songs are my life. [They are] my journey, and the journey continues.”
Winans’ road ahead includes a song related to the “Black Lives Matter” movement that his son inspired him to write it.
“When my son turned 17, it hit me like a brick: my son was a candidate for catastrophe, and I could go through what other parents had gone through and experienced. I went back into the piano room and I wrote this song entitled ‘Black Lives Matter.’ And man, I wept.”
“If it doesn’t come from the heart, don’t expect it to go to the heart of people,” Winans continued. “Songwriting for me has been that. You could take singing from me, but I would never want songwriting to be taken from me.”
BeBe Winans’has always had an willingness to go into uncharted territory. For example, just when you thought that BeBe had settled in permanently with R & B-steeped gospel songs, he released a straight up, live praise & worship album, Cherch, and followed that up with an album of patriotic songs, America, America! He talked about the backlash he has received throughout his career, particularly from the Christian community.
“It was confusing in the beginning,” he reflected. “CeCe and I would be talking to magazines, and the secular magazine would say ‘These gospel artists are incredible’ and the gospel magazine would say ‘These demons…’.”
“I felt a little lost,” Winans shared, “but I heard God say ‘Don’t be upset when people misunderstand you. They should misunderstand you, because I didn’t give this to them. I gave it to you.’ From that moment on, I wasn’t worried about what people thought. I’m doing what I’ve been called to do and what I’ve been given to do. I’d meet people who said ‘I was going to commit suicide, and I put ‘Heaven’ on, and it changed my mind.’ No preacher from the pulpit can tell me anything.”
“It’s not easy being misunderstood,” Winans continued, “but it’s ok when you know you’re in good company. God was misunderstood, and He did no wrong. I’m ok with that. I’m not worried about the church being mad at me, because they’ve been mad at me ever since I’ve been on the scene!”
One of Winans upcoming projects is almost sure to ruffle feathers in the church. He’s finishing an album of standards from the Great American Songbook, including “My Way”, “Moon River”, and “Mona Lisa”. The latter song is one of my all-time favorites, made famous by the legendary Nat “King” Cole. He was asked whether he was intimidated by covering one of Cole’s signature songs.
“Just a few months before Natalie Cole passed,” Winans remembered, “she found out I did “Mona Lisa” and she said ‘You know what? You’re probably one of the only people who could do my dad’s song. I can’t wait to hear it. You’ve gonna nail that’.”
Cole was correct. Winans let me listen to his renditions of “Mona Lisa” and “Moon River”, and they are absolutely stunning.
I know one thing: after over 30 years in show business, BeBe Winans isn’t finished surprising us yet!
