The Daily Buzz For March 3



Rolling Stones: We’re Going to Cuba! Will be playing their first show on the Island!
Back in 1959 the Cuban government transitioned to communism and ever since the island nation has been deprived of a major rock and roll concert- until now.
According to reports, the  Rolling Stones will play the Ciudad Deportiva venue in Havana on March 25th, 2016, following President Barack Obama’s visit three days prior.

Per the “Start Me Up” rockers’ website, "We have performed in many special places during our long career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event for us, and, we hope, for all our friends in Cuba too."

#RHOA: Find Out Who Sat Where At The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion!
Last Thursday was The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion and The Daily Dish exposed this year’s seating chart. As we know those who sit next to Andy are the ones who Bravo considers to have “brought it” the best this season. Check out the seating chart below!
It makes sense that Kandi and Kim are on the end. Kandi couldn’t be as involved with the ladies as usual because of being so far along in her pregnancy. Unfortunately, Kim hasn’t proven herself on RHOA yet. She doesn’t seem to be cut out for the drama of the show, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Kim is so nice, and has nearly been eaten alive by Keyonce Moore!

Phaedra and Cynthia’s seating also seems accurate, as both of them have had a mild, yet entertaining season. Although Cynthia was involved in kicking Porsha, the ladies seem to have moved past that very quickly.
Porsha and Kenya next to Andy, hello 2 years ago! Porsha and Kenya have SO many unresolved issues, and you can tell how uncomfortable they are in each other’s presence. Is Andy afraid the ladies might not “bring it” and is encouraging the ladies to get heated by his seating arrangement?

I am so curious to see where Nene and Sheree sit. My guess is Sheree on the Porsha side, and Nene on the Kenya side! (who would ever think Nene would be near Kenya)
Thoughts on the reunion seating chart?



#TEAMCOOKIE:Taraji P. Henson Spotlights Her Mini-Me: Jasmin Alyse (Lil Cookie)
*Miss Jasmin Alyse, a young little cutie pie model/actress, recently got huge praise from Taraji P. Henson, star of the FOX hit series “Empire” for her creative interpertation of the A-list actress.

Originally released for Black History Month, Jasmin Alyse and her big sister Jaylin Simone, decided to recreate photos of black actress for a project and then decided to extend the photo release to include tributes for Women’s History Month in March.

Today, March 1, 2016, “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson added the shot of Jasmin Alyse posing as Lil Taraji to her Instagram page with the caption “LORDT!!!! My heart!!!! These lil #CookieCrumbs steal my heart EVERYTIME!!!!” to her over 7 million followers. As of this writing the photo has garnered OVER 60K like and 400+ comments Instagram and is gaining steam on Twitter.

The photo recreation idea was developed by Jurena Cantrell of J. Glass Communications, an agency who works with clients in Atlanta and more recently Nashville along with the girls parents Jason and Shadeeka Rutledge.



New Music: Eric Benet – Did We Really Love (Brown Eyed Soul Remake)
R&B legend Eric Benet has a special treat for his fans with a remake of Korean R&B group Brown Eyed Soul’s song “Did We Really Love”. Benet keeps the Korean title, but sings the lyrics in English as well as updates the melody to create a stunning remake of the song.

This is not the first time that Eric Benet has created music to acknowledge the strong support he receives from overseas. Back in 2014 he released “From E to U: Volume 1” which was a Japan only release.

Currently, Benet is in the studio working on a new album, the follow up to “The One” released in 2012. He’s hinted recently that a new single called “Sunshine” will release soon.



HIP HOP BEEF! Azealia Banks Reignites Feud With Iggy Azalea, AGAIN!
Azealia Banks had some choice words for Iggy Azalea following comments made about her in a recent magazine.
Well it looks like there’s a new chapter in the on-going feud between Azealia Banks & Iggy Azalea. On Tuesday, Azealia Banks took to twitter to call out Iggy for her comments made in a recent cover story for Elle Canada.

It all started when Iggy confirmed her hatred for Azealia in Elle Canada, “I think the Azealia Banks thing is what really started it all. We don’t like each other on a personal level, and that has gone on for many years—before the Black Lives Matter incident happened. Even though I still hate Azealia Banks, I wish I had said it in a way that didn’t make people think I was oblivious to the movement.”

Of course this statement quickly caught Azealia’a attention and caused quite the reaction out of her on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. Saying she was going to be “so fuckin petty,” Iggy had the following to say in a series of tweets…

Matter of fact. . Let me just kill this bitch.

We now presume Azealia's pettiness to be her sampling of Iggy's "My World" record for her own song "Used To Being Alone," which she dropped at midnight. Both women have respective projects dropping in the coming months, so I'm sure this won't be the last we hear from these two.

We'll continue to keep you posted if any more on the story develops.



WHAT? Katt Williams Challenges Kevin Hart To $1 Million Battle!
Katt Williams is fresh out jail after getting arrested on a battery charge for allegedly punching a pool store in employee yesterday. And he’s already stirring the pot. Well…he’s continuing to stir the pot.

During his comedy show in Atlanta over the weekend, Katt BLASTED Kevin onstage calling him a “puppet.” He went on to allude that Kevin participated in some strange activities (such as letting a man perform oral sex on him) to get where he is today and assured his fans he has never participated in anything like that to further his career.
The Ride Along 2 star caught wind of his comments and responded to his diss while at this year’s Academy Awards. Kevin posted a picture backstage with host Chris Rock and comedian Dave Chappelle with the caption:

Me & Dave Chappelle with our brother @chrisrock tonight at the Oscars. True professionals understand the importance of sticking together & supporting one another....at the end of the day we are comedians & there aren't many that make it to level that we have made it. But so many doors are opened from the success of one comedian & when you see those doors open you then have the opportunity to walk thru them....it's about helping one another not trying to tear each other down!!!! The insecure ones will never understand that "Support & encouragement" #Message #DopePic #Legendary

Now, Katt, who’s currently on tour, is challenging Kevin to a $1 million comedy battle at his upcoming show in Philadelphia, Kevin’s hometown.
In fact, Katt said he can make it a $5 million bet where he would demolish Kevin in boxing, basketball, rapping and comedy. He said he wanted to bet $1million for each challenge, but it seems Katt's math is a little off as that would only equal $4. Either way, he wants to battle for some serious cash.
Katt said he knows Kevin can cough up the dough, dubbing him “Mr. $28 Million In Forbes.” He then said he’s bringing his money in cash and told Kevin to come with NO white people.

Katt is set to hit the stage in Philly on March 5th. Do you think Kevin will accept the offer?



NOT CUTE HON! Big Freedia Charged with Felony Theft for Lying About Income to Get Section 8 Vouchers
The Queen of Bounce, better known as Big Freedia, was charged in federal court Tuesday with felony theft of government funds. He allegedly lied about his income in order to qualify for Section 8.

via WWLTV: Big Freedia is the stage name of Freddie Ross, Jr., who was charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office with lying about his income to get subsidized housing through a Section 8 voucher each year from 2010 to 2014.
The bill of information suggests that Ross will plead guilty. It refers to Ross as “he,” even though Big Freedia  performs as a woman and also uses “she.”

Big Freedia allegedly lied about how much money he was making as he renewed Section 8 vouchers on an annual basis.
The 2010-2014 timeframe coincides with Big Freedia’s rise to national fame as the Queen of Bounce music. He helped spread bounce outside New Orleans by appearing on HBO’s “Treme,” on national talk shows, and in 2013 he got his own reality show on the Fuse Network.

His fame hit a new high this year when he appeared with Beyonce in her Formation video, which featured New Orleans imagery.
Freddie Ross Jr. is charged with stealing more than $1,000 in vouchers, but the value is actually much higher than that. Ross could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He could also face forfeiture of property equivalent to the amount of the vouchers received.

Ross’ initial appearance is set for March 16.



YIKES! Stevie J Involved in Brawl During CIAA
Stevie J was flattened outside a North Carolina nightclub … and despite protestations he left unscathed, the video tells a very different story.
The brawl with Stevie went down outside Charlotte’s Empire Lounge. There’s a report things got so heated Stevie’s van got shot up, but he insists that’s not the case.

The “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star says the incident was triggered by club security who roughed up a patron. Stevie says since he was hosting the event, the patron thought he was responsible, so when Stevie left the club the guy and his posse jumped him.

While Stevie insists he left unscathed, his pal and blogger FreddyO left with a gash in his head.

Freddy O said: He left that club shaking his head and thankful that they did not leave NC in a body bag. Now who deserves a reality show?

Check out the images from TMZ…
 
WOW!!!!! just WOW!!!!



WOMP! L Sherri Shepherd Loses Surrogacy Case, Paying Child Support
Not so good news for Sherri Shepherd. On Tuesday, the actress, comedian and TV host took an L in court, losing her appeal of a Pennsylvania court ruling that found her responsible for a child born to a surrogate before she divorced, the Associated Press reports.

The state Supreme Court says it won’t hear the case brought by Shepherd. The site reports,
"Surrogacy advocates say the lower court ruling in her case is the first to declare surrogacy contracts binding in Pennsylvania. Shepherd is paying $4,100 in monthly child support to ex-husband Lamar Sally of Los Angeles. His lawyer, Tiffany Palmer, says Shepherd has not seen the 1-year-old. Shepherd spent more than $100,000 to arrange the surrogacy but tried to void the contract as the couple divorced in New Jersey. Shepherd’s lawyer says he’s surprised the court won’t review the issue."

In other news, Shepherd is playing alongside John Lithgow in a new NBC pilot called The Trail. According to Deadline, the serialized comedy is a spoof of such documentary series as The Jinx and Making a Murderer.
Shepherd will play Anne Flatch, the well-meaning and enthusiastic assistant/receptionist at Josh Simon’s makeshift law office in East Peck, South Carolina, Anne suffers from facial blindness — the inability to recognize people by their faces — along with a host of disorders that makes her job as one of the members of the defense team much more difficult.

Russell Wilson Launches ‘Good Man Brand’ Clothing Line, Portion Of Its Proceeds Being Donated To Programs For Inner-City Kids
Russell Wilson launched his new clothing line, Good Man Brand, at Nordstrom’s downtown Seattle flagship store yesterday.

“We’re going to change a culture through fashion,” the Seattle Seahawks quarterback explained while talking the line. “It’s for the guy who is a 27-year-old like myself who is dating somebody way out of his league and needs to go out on a date,” he joked, in reference to his relationship with singer, Ciara.
The clothes range from a casual zip-up white jacket (Russell wore at the event), to dress shirts with checkered patterns. He says the brand consists of clothes that “have great comfort, great style, and are modern and classic.”
According to GQ, customers can find the pieces on the racks “in 20+ Nordstrom stores, 75 “mom and pop” shops (as Wilson calls them) across the country.” Russell and his three partners will be giving back in the process; donating $3 from every item purchased to the Why Not You Foundation – with proceeds going to inner city education programs.

CiCi showed support to her man by posting a photo of him at the launch (atop), captioned: “Proud Of My Baby and His Successful Launch Of @GoodManBrand.”
