#RHoA’s Porsha Williams was Robbed for Her Gun and Louis Vuitton bag!
A member of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast just suffered a major blow as her vehicle was robbed, with her windows being smashed in. The burglar got away with several luxury items and a handgun.

According to TMZ, Porsha Williams' Range Rover was vandalized after she left it in a garage at her assistant's home in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood last week.
An eyewitness reported that the robber, who was wearing a mask, proceeded to smash the back window to get into the vehicle, where he stole the reality star's gun and a few Louis Vuitton handbags.
Police have reportedly noted the burglary and are investigating.

WATCH FROM TMZ

Porsha was not harmed in the attack and reportedly has a second handgun in her possession.


#EMPIRE: Taraji P. Henson Shows folks How much DC she is by Wearing Sweatpants And Sneakers
We're used to seeing Taraji P. Henson in two looks, real life Taraji, which is usually lady like with a little sexy, or as Ms. Cookie Lyons, overly trendy and bossed up. So when the actress stepped out in this athleisure look, all we could think is who is dat?! 
Taraji posted on her Insta a very trendy athleisure look rocking an oversized $500 Adidas Originals by AW Puffer, which, by the way, hasn’t even dropped yet. She also wore an all-white Adidas hoodie and sweats combo under. The look was topped off with a pair of $980 Gucci Leather Ankle Booties.
The Empire star captured the pic "on THA block" with a "#bihbettahavemyshmoney" hashtag. Again, who is this?

We always see Taraji slaying the red carpet in the latest designer gown or glam look, so this isn't a very typical look for the award-winning actress. However, we are here for it. Whether its Taraji, Cookie or both — we love a gal that can do more than one look!

#HIPHOPNEWS: OOOPS The Real Brother Love told Diddy to STOP IT OR ELSE!
After days of causing a social media fire storm with WWE fans, Diddy (Sean Combs), now says he was only joking when he announced he was changing his name to Brother Love, which is also the name of a still popular WWE character.
The real Brother Love, former WWE celebrity Bruce Prichard, had been challenging Diddy’s plan for days, using a vaguely threatening message for Diddy to “Remember North Carolina.”

It’s unclear if Diddy ever remembered what happened in North Carolina – which became the point of multiple media stories – but he announced late Monday that he’s not changing his name.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that you cannot play around with the internet,” Diddy said in a video posted late Monday on Instagram. “Due to overwhelming response from the media out there, and just due to there not wanting to be any confusion, I was only joking. OK, I didn’t change my name. It’s just part of one my alter egos. One of my alter egos is Love...If you still want to call me Love, you can call me Love, Baby.”
On Monday, Prichard carried out a one-man war on the matter, retweeting anyone who agreed that Diddy was infringing on his brand. Among Prichard’s tweets was one on Nov. 4 that some media outlets called “vaguely threatening.”

“Yo. Find a new gimmick. I invented and perfected Brother Love. I am the original and you are not. Remember North Carolina,” said the tweet.
Prichard, 54, later suggested in a video that the two men had met in the early 90s at a North Carolina Holiday Inn, and that Prichard had “awed” Diddy.
The Brother Love character Prichard perfected made its WWE debut in 1988 and was later discontinued. However, it has remained popular among fans.
For those unfamiliar with Prichard, Wrestling Inc. says he was a pro-wrestling aficionado who was everywhere during the late-’80s and early-’90s, including hosting his own weekly show, “The Brother Love Show.” Later, he managed the wrestler star known to fans as The Undertaker. The Brother Love character is described by Wrestling Inc as “a disingenuous preacher who claimed to spread the message of love. The bizarre red-faced character was inspired by controversial televangelists of the time.”

Prichard says the character was modeled in part after Jim Bakker, who once ran a Christian network and theme park based in Fort Mill, just south of Charlotte.

As for Diddy’s joke, fans didn’t seem to find it funny: “U were drunk,” posted one fan on Instagram. “Now u taking it back because either A: U came to ur senses, B: you saw the  negative response you got or C: U were advised against it.”


#SPORSTNEWS: SADNESS Roy Halladay, two time Cy Young winner, dead at 40!
Two-time Cy Young winner Roy Halladay was killed when his private plane crashed in the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday, the Pasco Sheriff's Office confirmed.
The plane - described by the sheriff's office as an ICON A5 light sport aircraft (two-person, single engine amphibian plane) - went down 10 miles west of St. Petersburg around noon. The sheriff's office marine unit responded to the downed plane and found Halladay's body.

"The worst case scenario happened and it breaks our heart," Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Nocco said that Halladay had just attended the sheriff's office's Fishing for Families tournament on Friday. The retired big-league star had also donated funds to purchase a K9 for the sheriff's office.
"Roy was the most down to earth person," Nocco said.
The specifics of the crash are still under investigation and the sheriff said work to recover debris from the plane would continue for the next few hours. The NTSB will take over the investigation, according to Nocco.

No mayday calls were made to Tampa Air Traffic Control, per the sheriff's office. It was unclear where Halladay's plane was headed.
Halladay, 40, a first-round draft pick of the Blue Jays in the 1995 Amateur Draft spent 12 seasons in Toronto before capping his career with four seasons with the Phillies.
 “All of us at Baseball are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic passing of former Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

Both teams also issued statements following the announcement of Halladay's death.
"The Toronto Blue Jays organization is overcome by grief with the tragic loss of one of the franchise's greatest and most respected players, but even better human being," the Blue Jays said. "It is impossible to express what he has meant to this franchise, the city and its fans. 

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends."

"We are numb over the very tragic news about Roy Halladay's untimely death," the Phillies said. "There are no words to describe the sadness that the entire Phillies family is feeling over the loss of one of the most respected human beings to ever play the game. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we pass along our condolences to Brandy, Ryan and Braden."

Halladay, 40, became a pilot after he retired from baseball after the 2013 season. He frequently posted on social media about his love of flying.
"I keep telling my dad flying the Icon A5 low over the water is like flying a fighter jet!" Halladay tweeted on Oct. 31. "His response .... I am flying a fighter jet!!"
The plane Halladay was piloting comes with a controversial past as a leaked purchaser's agreement made public in 2016 detailed contractually required pilot training plus an agreement not to sue the company.

The company said it was "devastated" to learn of Halladay's death in one of its airplanes.
"ICON will do everything it can to support the accident investigation going forward and we will comment further when more information is available," the company said in a statement, via ESPN.

Halladay, an eight-time All-Star, spent 16 years in the major leagues. He was a two-time Cy Young award winner (2003 and 2010), amassing a 203-105 record with a career 3.38 ERA. Halladay was known for being a workhorse, leading the league in innings four times, complete games seven times and shutouts four times during his career.

Miley Cyrus Responds to Criticism After Comments About Texas Church Shooting
Earlier in the day the singer, 24, posted a message calling for gun control after a gunman killed 26 people, including eight members of one family, and injured more than 20 others during a church service in the small town of Sutherland Springs.

“My dreams have become nightmares & those nightmares , reality … This isn’t fair , this isn’t right , this isn’t just , this isn’t human! This is a TERRORIST act by a WHITE AMERICAN MAN!” the Grammy nominee wrote. “I am heartbroken & embarrassed. Mortified by our country & its s–tty system , lack of control/laws! This does NOT HAVE or NEED to happen! It’s devastatingly disgusting!”
Referencing the lyrics to her song “Bad Mood,” she continued, “I wanted to bring awareness to the fact that everyday we are waking up to more terrifyingly painful information that makes it nearly impossible to feel optimistic that things are going to change! They say it gets worst before it gets better in some cases & I wish on every star that this is the worst of it! I continue to be hopeful that enough is enough and the eyes of the ignorant will open and realize that (gun) VIOLENCE has to stop! This a–holes Facebook profile photo was a f–king riffle ! ‘I don’t know how much more it can take!’ #F–kGuns#F–kViolence My love is with you TX!”
While several fans commented positively on her post (and it attracted more than half a million likes), others took issue with her pointing out that a white American male was responsible for the attack.

But the “Malibu” singer didn’t back down and returned to Instagram with another post defending her comments

“I am aghast by the reaction of my latest post,” Cyrus wrote. “It is completely amazing to me how defensive and in denial this country really is! You are not focused on the horrific  tragedy I addressed but more angered that I am putting a BIG bright spotlight on the fact it was a ‘WHITE AMERICAN MALE’ terrorist that walked in & killed 26 people (including children) leaving 20 severely injured!”
“Since this tragedy has occurred (coming off the cusp of Vegas, another terroristic act by a white American male) DONT START to be all innocent! Gender , race , & religion HAS and continues to matter for all the wrong reasons & that’s only the beginning of how backwards this country is!” she continued. “All of you are so focused on protecting yourself, you’ve completely forgotten that you’re not the only one that has to live in this country or on this planet! Aren’t you exhausted? Because to be honest I am f–king sick and tired of starting everyday with tears and in mourning! Let’s unite! Trump never needed to build a wall for us , we’ve done it ourselves! Love!”
The post has more than 300,000 likes and Cyrus followed it up by posting pictures of some of her favorite white American males, including her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and her brothers, Braison and Trace. “I do NOT & refuse to generalize or stereotype!” she captioned the pics. “You are all correct to believe every human deserves the same respect …. but please keep that in mind when you’re judging others. NOT just with the race , religion , gender , or sexuality which YOU identify with. Deal?”


BET Preps ‘The Bobby Brown Story’ For Fall 2018
Woody McClain to return to his role as Bobby. After movies about Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina, Bobby Brown is going to be the center of his own TV biopic.
If BET learned anything from their miniseries about New Edition, it’s that Bobby makes for good TV. Naturally, the network is hoping to repeat that success with another project.

Deadline.com reports that BET will be airing a followup in the form of The Bobby Brown Story, and Woody McClain is returning to his role as Bobby! The two-part TV event will pick where The New Edition Story left off. The Bobby Brown Story is set to follow his career from the moment he went solo through his success as a solo act.

The Bobby Brown will also touch on more personal aspects of Bobby’s life including his marriage to Houston and his alleged relationship with Janet Jackson. BET won’t be shying away from Bobby’s low points in life, but the network believes this will ultimately be a story about redemption.

There’s no set premiere date at this time, but The Bobby Brown Story is slated to air sometime next fall.


DEVELOPING NOW! JILL SCOTT FILES FOR DIVORCE AND SHE HAS A PRENUP!
The couple got married back in June 2016. According to reports, Jill Scott has filed for divorce after 15 months of marriage citing irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct that such further cohabitation would be unsafe and improper.

The “Golden” singer lists the date of separation as Sept. 5th, and says in court papers that they are now living in separate houses.
Scott admitted that she bought real estate and other assets during their marriage, but said she has a prenup with the unemployed Dobson, and asked the court to enforce it.
Dobson had not responded to Scott’s petition, court documents show.
This is Jill’s second marriage. Jill and Mike have no children together.

Girl just keep making music and leave the marriages alone!



#FROMTHEDIDYOUKNOWFILES  Mariah Carey Had Gastric Sleeve Surgery, After Being Criticized For Weight Gain
Rumor has it, Mariah Carey has gone under the knife. According to reports, the 47-year-old singer had weight-loss surgery. Reportedly, last month she underwent gastric sleeve  surgery, a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach along the greater curvature. The result is a sleeve or tube like structure. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach, although there could be some dilatation of the stomach later on in life. The procedure is generally performed laparoscopically and is irreversible.

The procedure is said to have been done by a top surgeon in Beverly Hills, after her weight reportedly skyrocketed. We hear that she had the surgery after being body shamed by some critics online. Reportedly, Carey began noticing that it was harder for her to dance during her live concerts. That coupled with some of the negativity she noticed online, ultimately led her to have the procedure done.

No word on how much weight Carey has lost.

Over 20,000 People Want Kevin James to Replace Kevin Spacey on 'House of Cards'
"I think Kevin James can elevate 'House of Cards' to a globally adored franchise like 'Game of Thrones,'" the petition reads.
Netflix is done with Kevin Spacey in wake of sexual harassment and assault allegations piling up against the "House of Cards" star, and over 20,000 people think they've found a solution for the streaming giant to keep the political drama going: cast Kevin James.

A Change.org petition making the case for James to play President Frank Underwood has garnered 20,450 signatures and counting
"Losing a great show is hard, no matter the circumstances. However with hardship come[s] the opportunity for a great show to become one of the greatest television shows of all time," the petition's founder Robbie Pyma wrote. "I think Kevin James can elevate 'House of Cards' to a globally adored franchise like 'Game of Thrones' and make the entire world focus on one of the most important Netflix Original series there is."

James is best known for sitcoms "King of Queens" and "Kevin Can Wait," the latter of which is currently in its second season on CBS. He's also starred in a number of comedies from Adam Sandler's production company Happy Madison, including "Grown Ups" and "Paul Blart: Mall Cop."

Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, is facing a career crisis that started when Anthony Rapp publicly accused the actor and producer of making a sexual advance on him decades ago when the "Star Trek: Discovery" actor was just 14. Since then, more men have come forward with disturbing allegations of harassment and groping. One man, who remained anonymous, even claimed Spacey tried to rape him as a teen.

When the first allegations came out, Netflix suspended production on the sixth season of "House of Cards," only to cut ties with Spacey completely after eight men working on the show alleged that Spacey had touched them inappropriately. One production assistant even said the actor once reached into the man's pants during a car ride.

Netflix hasn’t commented on the petition, because I’m confident no amount of digital signatures could ever make this casting decision happen.


Instagram Model Explains Why She Exposed Alleged DMs From LeBron James
Over the years, Cleveland Cavs star LeBron James has been accused of sliding into a few young ladies’ DM’s, or at least liking “perfect booty” posts during his “zero dark 23” social media blackout during the NBA playoffs.

Over the weekend, a young lady named Heidi Hoback – no jokes please – posted a DM she allegedly received from LeBron James. The conversation started over King James’ desire to have the red head teach him how to hunt. Heidi’s Instagram is full of hunting photos.
After the story broke and people accused Heidi of being a snitch and more for sharing the DMs, she decided to make a video explaining why she put the DMs on blast. Heidi claims she isn’t a “LeBron fan” so she didn’t know she was causing drama by exposing his DM. While the conversation doesn’t say anything explicit, some are questioning why a married LeBron would be sliding any where.
Seems like LeBron might have heard about the story, it broke earlier in the day prior to him dropping 57 points on the Washington Wizards.

At this point, its a crap shoot. I wonder how many ladies just engage in conversation instead of taking the DM to social media.
