#RHOA Reunion Fact Checking All Of Kenya Moore’s Outrageous Claim!
Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore is coming under fire after several of her past claims have come under question. As the reunion special for the hit reality series continues, simple fact checking has raised doubts about Moore’s relationship with her is it fact or fiction?
According to E! Online, the reality star’s relationship with her mother came into question during the first part of the reunion special. As fans will recall, Moore attacked her mother this season and even surprised her by bringing the camera crew to her house. After a fan called in with a question during the reunion, however, Moore’s portrayal of her estranged mother quickly came under fire.
Andy Cohen had to ban props from RHOA reunions due to Kenya’s antics.
The fan asked Moore about an article in People back in 1993, where her mother had indeed called to congratulate her after taking home the crown as Miss USA. In response, Moore stated that her mother had not called about winning the pageant. Instead, Moore claimed that her mom called about the article.
“She called me to tell me not to speak to the press about her. She did not call to congratulate me,” Moore stated.
However, host Andy Cohen quickly pointed out the holes in Moore’s story. In particular, Cohen asked why the outlet would do a story about the winner of Miss USA and neglect to talk about it with her own mother.
“People magazine did a story about Miss USA doesn’t speak to her mother?” Cohen inquired.
“Yes, but they also reached out to her, directly,” Kenya stated. “And she gave a quote. And then she called. I was at the Miss Universe pageant at the time. She called and wanted to speak to me. I picked up the phone and she said, ‘May I speak to Kenya?’ And I know her voice. And I just froze up and I said, ‘She’s not here.’ And then my cousin called me and said she wanted to tell me not to speak to the press about her.”
Unfortunately for Moore, she stated in the 1993 article that her mom had called to congratulate her. She failed to speak to her mom because he was looking for an apology rather than a congratulatory message. However, fans can watch the drama unfold when The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sunday nights on Bravo.

Migos Rapper Offset Arrested Again!
Offset from the Atlanta based rap trio, Migos, has had yet another run-in with law enforcement. Just two weeks ago, Offset was reportedly arrested for marijuana possession and driving while license suspended but Offset said that the arrest was a "clerical error" because he already cleared up the issues with his license. Now the rapper has landed behind bars, yet again for marijuana possession and a suspended license.
TMZ reports that Offset got pulled over by cops in Chattahoochee, GA and upon a search they recovered less than an ounce of marijuana. Cops also booked him for his suspended license.
He was arrested early Thursday morning.

Lamar Odom Has Reportedly Been Drinking & Khloe Kardashian Wants Him In Rehab!
There are rumors that Lamar Odom is spiraling out of control…again.
After being spotted at an Irish bar on Saturday night, there are new reports that the former NBA balller is turning to alcohol. According to TMZ, Lamar’s wife Khloe Kardashian is supposedly urging Lamar to enter rehab to tackle his drinking problem.
Sources tell the site Khloe is doing everything she can to get Lamar some help, suggesting an outpatient program, but he doesn’t want it.
And she’s not the only concerned about Lamar. Some of his family members are also concerned and have tried to convince him into going into rehab, using his father’s alcohol addiction as a reference.
Its also said Lamar has been communicating with his two children in NYC and they too are concerned their father may relapse.
Let’s hope and pray this is all hear say and that Lamar isn’t going back to his old ways. Personally I think she’s exploiting him to the MAX!
Hillary Clinton and Beyonce together?
US Weekly tells us that Hillary Clinton recently paid a visit to the Queen … Bey, that is!
"Beyonce was filming a video and Hillary made a surprise visit to the set" on Thursday, March 24, in L.A., a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
The insider could not reveal if the Democratic front-runner, 68, scored an on-screen cameo, but a second insider confirms Beyonce, 34, is currently working on an album, complete with music videos. (The album is likely to drop in April.)
By the next morning, Clinton had returned to the campaign trail, setting her sights on the goal she laid out in December.
"I want to be as good a president as Beyonce is a performer," she said when asked at an Iowa town hall if she'd rather be Beyonce or president.
No doubt securing a permanent spot in the hive, the presidential hopeful had high praise for the pop star at the event: "You see her on TV, it's impressive; you see her in person, you're just stunned. Thinking like, ‘How does she do that?’ Really. I mean, she's singing, she's up and she's down. She's just amazing."
The admiration is mutual. Last May, Beyonce attended a Hillary Clinton fundraiser event in NYC. Although the mom of Blue Ivy, 4, with husband Jay Z supported Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential races, now she wants her girl Hillary to run the world.
Brandy Sues Record Label for Right to Record New Music
In the suit, the 37-year-old says that Chameleon owner-CEO Breyon Prescott forced her to sign with Epic and release music through Chameleon, so he can double his profit.
According to Courthouse News Service, she is asking for $1 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages, for intentional interference with contract, interference with business relations, and business law violations.
“Prescott owns and operates defendant Chameleon and is employed full time by Epic Records and head of urban A&R,” reads the complaint. “The new recording and distribution deal that he is trying to force Norwood to sign is with Epic, which allows him to ‘double dip’: if Prescott can force Norwood to sign the new deal, he will profit both as an owner of Chameleon and through bonuses and other benefits he will get from Epic.”
The suit also calls this “a blatantly unlawful attempt to bully Norwood into signing a new recording and distribution agreement containing terms far worse than her current agreement” and that “defendants have made clear through their actions and words that, unless Norwood capitulates and signs this terrible deal, she will remain ‘trapped’ with a label that won’t let her record or release music.”
The “Boy Is Mine” singer signed with Chameleon in 2011 before releasing her 2012 album Two Eleven through the imprint. According to the AP, the deal gave Chameleon the option to release four more Brandy albums, but the label refused to allow her to record a new project.
Since then, Brandy has terminated her Chameleon contract and now wants a judge to rule that the terms are void.
While she pursues legal action, Brandy released a new single called “Beggin & Pleadin” through her own imprint, Slayana Records, in January.

VP Joe Biden Teams Up With Lady Gaga For Anti-Sexual Assault Campaign!
On April 7, Vice President Joe Biden will team up with Lady Gaga in Las Vegas to support his "It's On Us" campaign against sexual assault on college campuses.
In 2014, with the help of President Obama, Vice President Biden launched the "It's On Us" initiative to bring awareness and collective responsibility to the epidemic of campus assaults, according to NotAlone.gov.
Lady Gaga's heartfelt performance of "Til It Happens To You", which highlights sexual assault on college campuses, at the Oscars prompted Biden and Gaga to join forces.
Biden told Billboard why Gaga is the perfect ambassador, "Lady Gaga is brave and sincere. She’s a survivor who has the courage to speak out, and I know how difficult that can be. We’ve talked at length and I admire her courage -- everyone can see it because it’s on display. She encourages so many other women to step forward."
When asked his proudest moment of working on the "It's On Us" campaign he said, "Hearing from survivors who have been helped by It’s On Us. Last April, we held an It’s On Us event at The University of Illinois. Twelve days later, a woman who attended the event -- a recent graduate of the University -- came forward to report sexual assault by a former boyfriend. She said she was compelled to act after attending the rally. After she reported the assault at the UI Women’s Resource Center, her case was reported to state and local police department. Turns out, her ex-boyfriend was alleged to have assaulted two other former girlfriends. After she came forward, he was charged with two counts of criminal sexual assault."
Biden has spoken to more than 250,000 students on his "It's On Us" campaign and has gotten more than 530 colleges to sign a pledge of solidarity and activation.
