#RHOA: Kim Fields Hopes she Will One Day Work with Kenya Moore!
As Kim’s first year of a Housewife is coming to an end, I have to say that I’m impressed that she has stayed true to herself! Kim hasn’t played into the traps – acting out when others were looking for drama and hasn’t played it up for the camera. Even when asked by Bravo about current arch nemesis Kenya Moore, Kim was diplomatic and gave hope that one day they can put their past behind them and possibly work together:
To say no would limit myself, my industry, and honestly, my faith. Life can be unpredictable, why live it with boundaries or parameters established by negative interaction? Why not be open to whatever comes your way knowing you have the ability to stay strong in your character? We all have negative encounters; finding it within ourselves to forgive, release, and move on keeps us open to any opportunity, including the opportunity to have a different encounter with others, when perhaps it’s been a train wreck in the past.
Kim also revealed she was proud of her work when asked by Bravo if she was happy with the turnout:
Absolutely, because the client was pleased. Cynthia and her team are taking their brand and product to another level; my team and I are blessed to be a part of that process. Personally speaking, I really do like the ‘mercial! It’s hot, fun, and everyone is great in it.
I have to say Bob and Greg made me laugh when I saw the final cut!
Kim also plans on staying busy, whether that includes being a housewife next season or not:
Currently working on my autobiography. We also have another star-studded “Holiday Love” special in the works as well as several scripted comedies and dramas. I’m working with my sister Alexis on a new drama, “Waters’ Edge.” (She’s such a wonderful actress, can’t wait!). Kixx & Giggles is moving along nicely (woohoo!). Working on a couple more fun, exciting, and challenging projects in the “K-Lab,” stay tuned…
I respect Kim’s honestly and her commitment to be true to herself! However she did provide some balance in the midst of crazy. Would you like to see Kim return to RHOA next year? Do you think her and Kenya will work together in the future?

R&B News: Regina Belle Enjoys Success of 1st R&B Album in 15 Years
The Academy Award-winning and Multi Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and actress, who sang the now famous “A Whole New World” with Peabo Bryson in Disney’s smash hit ‘Aladdin,’ continues to defy the odds and redefine her world nearly three decades since she made her recording debut.
With a string of hits including “Make It Like It Was,” “If I Could,” “Baby Come To Me” and “This Is Love,” Regina Belle has made a career following her heart and moving gracefully between the worlds of R&B, Gospel and Jazz.
Recorded on a restored microphone used by Jimi Hendrix and at The Heavyweights Studios (North Hollywood, CA), the same location where Marvin Gaye recorded numerous hits, you could say “The Day Life Began” (released in January on Peak Records/Shanachie Entertainment), Regina Belle’s first new R&B album in 15 years, was blessed and ordained by the musical angels.
The album is a stellar collection of inspirational R&B songs that reveal Belle’s unrivaled vocal abilities, and genius as a storyteller capable of uplifting and stirring emotions. Regina’s goal was simple. “If I cannot identify with the songs, and if the music does not move my soul, make me feel better, take me up when I’m down or higher when I’m up, then I don’t want to record it, play it or sing it!”
Listen to Be Careful Out There! HERE
“The Day Life Began” unites Regina Belle for the first time in the studio with the dynamic producing duo Jamie Jones (from All-4-One) and Jack Kugell of The Heavyweights. Collectively their credits include everyone from Nick Cannon and Martina McBride to Phil Perry and Wayne Brady, among others.
“The Heavyweights are now my brothers from another mother,” laughs Regina. “Jamie and Jack are two of this generations greatest producers and our chemistry in the studio was so unbelievable that we were able to record ten songs in five days.”
An avid reader, Regina Belle enjoys spending time with her family, cooking and watching old movies and Westerns with the likes of Sidney Poitier, Lena Horne, Hattie McDaniel,
Betty Davis. Belle is also a sports enthusiast. Regina’s husband is Pastor John Sidney Battle III, former NBA star with The Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. “I have had many
triumphs in my life including being a wife of 24 years and a mother of five while having a career,” shares Regina Belle who successfully underwent brain surgery in 2009. After high school, Belle attended Rutgers University in her native New Jersey.
Just 15 credits shy of obtaining her degree (in Africana studies with a minor in music), she landed an audition with The Manhattans and went on to become their opening act and soon after was signed to Columbia Records. In May 2015 Belle came full circle, completing her remaining credits and earning her degree.
With the release of “The Day Began,” Regina Belle is affirming that her journey continues and that her new recording signifies yet the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Regina concludes, “I draw strength from knowing that I’m operating within the purpose for my life and I’m having a ball doing it!”

NCAA SELECTION SUNDAY! NCAA Bracket 2016 IS HERE!
The field of 68 for the 2016 NCAA men's basketball tournament was announced on Sunday with plenty of controversy surrounding the announcement.
Bubble teams Syracuse and Tulsa moved into the Big Dance instead of mid-major programs Monmouth, San Diego State, Valparaiso and St. Bonaventure.
The Kansas Jayhawks earned the No. 1 overall seed and the top spot in the South region. The Villanova Wildcats, who were seen as a top seed throughout the season, picked up the No. 2 seed in the South.
The North Carolina Tar Heels headline the East region, where they will face a potential matchup with the No. 4 Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky has a potential rivalry clash with the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers in the second round.
In the Midwest region, the Virginia Cavaliers secured the No. 1 seed. Virginia is joined by the Michigan State Spartans and Utah Utes as the top teams in that bracket.
The West region features the Oregon Ducks as a first-time No. 1 seed. The big story out of the West was the alignment of the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies and Oklahoma Sooners. Texas A&M could face Texas in the second round before a potential Sweet 16 matchup with the Sooners.
Rapper Q-Tip Becomes The Hip Hop Director At Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Q-Tip has added another job to his resume. It has been announced that he will serve as the first artistic director for hip-hop culture at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC. Who better to take on the job?
Kennedy Center president Deborah Rutter made the announcement on Tuesday, March 8. “I really believe that he has an important voice for all of us, for those art forms that don’t have the central stage,” Rutter said.
Rutter would be right. Q-Tip has been active in the hip hop game for nearly 30 years. From his work with A Tribe Called Quest, to his solo work and as a producer, Q-Tip has seen and experienced it all.
“With Hip Hop constantly changing and evolving, it is easy to forget the history and legacy that precede it,” Q-Tip said in a press release. “I want to begin at the beginning of the Culture to help people see its roots, better understand its present, and responsibly create its future.”
Q-Tip's job will be to curate the school's forthcoming Hip Hop Culture series which will explore Hip Hop culture across deejaying, emceeing, breakdancing, graffiti writing, and knowledge of self.

After the three finished filming their scene of LHHA and was heading to their car an argument broke out between Josefine and Tommie.

‘General Hospital’ News: Sean Blackmore Joins Cast of “Devious Maids”
'General Hospital' News: Sean Blackmore Joins Cast of "Devious Maids"“General Hospital” Sean Blakemore [Shawn Butler] has joined the cast of “Devious Maids” for the fourth season. Rebecca Wisocky [Evelyn Powell] took to Twitter to welcome the actor to the Lifetime primetime soap opera.
There is no other information yet as to what character Blakemore will portray or even if he will guest-star, have a recurring role or is on contract. All fans have to go on at this point is the photo of Rebecca and Sean on Twitter.
“Welcome to #DeviousMaids S4 sweet @SBlakemoreActor. Start preparing your crush now #DeviousAmy,” Rebecca shared. Sean tweeted back, “rebeccawisocky incredibly talented/sweet & welcoming! #DEVIOUSMAIDS #SUPERGREATCREW #FUNDAY.”
'General Hospital' News: Sean Blackmore Joins Cast of "Devious Maids"Whatever character Sean will portray the actor would definitely be a fantastic romantic interest for any of the ladies. Evelyn Powell has an eye for handsome men, could Blakemore be another one of Evelyn’s conquests?
Not only will “GH” fans see Sean on “Devious Maids” the actor has a role on the Amazon television series “Bosch” as Captain John Felton. Another project Sean Blakemore has been working on is the television movie “Cursed Angel” in which he stars as John Washington. Sean has also guest-starred on “CSI: Cyber” as Director Silver.
“General Hospital” fans are waiting for Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig] to confess that it wasn’t Shawn Butler who shot her. It’s time for Shawn to be released from prison and return to Port Charles and romance Jordan Ashford [Vinessa Antoine] again.
Sean Blakemore has certainly been busy during his time away from “GH.” Hopefully the actor – and the character he portrays – won’t be gone much longer. Viewers miss Shawn and Jordan as a couple and it’s time to reunite them.
Johnny Manziel Cut From The Cleveland Browns
It looks like Johnny Manziel will have some time to reflect on his crazy behavior and possibly refocus his career. The Cleveland Browns officially waved 23-year-old Manziel, the team announced Friday (
TMZ: It wasn’t unexpected … most league insiders thought the Browns had grown weary of Manziel’s antics — including a grand jury investigation into an incident with his ex-GF — and new head coach Hue Jackson had been publicly lukewarm on the idea of keeping Johnny around.
As for Manziel … he’s seemed completely unaffected by the career uncertainty, hitting up hot spots in Miami, Vegas, and L.A. all in the last month and partying with the likes of Scott Disick.
It’s been reported up to three teams are still interested in subsidizing Manziel’s club hopping … and he told TMZ Sports he’s completely dedicated to football … so we’re guessing this isn’t the last we’ve heard of him.
Manziel was a 22nd pick in the 2014 draft. Per the Brown’s website, the quarterback started six games last season, but played in nine games total; with seven touchdowns and five interceptions, 1,500 yards thrown and added 230 rushing yards.
On a personal note, the Texas A&M alum has been on rampage of making one bad decision after another. Last month Texas police announced that Manziel was under investigation for the alleged beating of his ex-girlfriend. His father says Manziel needs to go to rehab.
