#RHoA: Eva Marcille Hits Back After Marlo Hampton Said She Needed to Lose 10 Lbs. Before her Wedding.
Eva Marcille wasn’t open to Marlo Hampton’s suggestion that she needed to lose baby weight before walking down the aisle.
On Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, the America’s Next Top Model winner clapped back at Hampton for telling her “I just want 10 lbs. off” while she was trying on wedding dresses.
“We can run pound for pound, and [I] will still say the snatchest of the crew,” Marcille, 34, said in her defense — adding that she had just given birth to son Michael Jr., her first child with then-fiancé Michael Sterling, 13 weeks prior.

“That ain’t yesterday, that’s 13 weeks ago,” Hampton shot back.
Though Marcille shrugged it off, she wasn’t laughing. “I was smaller than Marlo at my heaviest than Marlo was at her smallest, but she thinks that I need to lose 10 lbs?” Marcille said on the RHOA after show. “The circumference of her ass is the size of this table, and I reminded her of that right there because I guess she forgot putting her pants on that morning.”
Marcille wasn’t the only only putting Hampton in her place.
NeNe Leakes, who brought Hampton along with her to Marcille’s fitting unexpectedly, was quick to call out the Friend of the Housewives.
“Bitch you need to f—ing stop bitch with your big ass, ginormous ass, humungous-ass hips,” Leakes told Hampton. “Bitch eating cake, sandwiches, ice cream late at night. Going to the gas station for potato chips, lollypops …”
Explained Leakes on the after show: “Eva was getting married. I had my huge wedding and I got married and that wasn’t that long ago. I knew Marlo knew fashion because Marlo helped me with my wedding and the looks that we should have. I knew she had a good eye. … [But] Marlo was giving a lot. Every bride wants everything to be perfect and Marlo doesn’t even understand that.”
“NeNe is my girl and I appreciate her having my back. So thank you NeNe for coming to my defense and reminding Marlo that the circumference of her ass is huge,” Marcille said on RHOA.
“I think NeNe realized we were getting off track and she went ahead and brought it on back and reminded Marlo that she could use Atkins or a Keto diet herself,” the supermodel added on the after show.
Marcille and Sterling said their “I dos” during a private ceremony in Atlanta back in October, five months after she gave birth. (She is also a mom to daughter Marley Rae, 4, with ex Kevin McCall.)
For the nuptials, Marcille wore two dresses — a strapless, white ballgown with a full skirt and lace details, as well as an off-the-shoulder gown with sequin embellishments. None of the gowns were ones she tried on during Sunday’s RHOA.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

#HipHopNews: Rich The Kid Appears To Confirm Collaboration With Britney Spears
Over the last year and some change, Rich The Kid has seen a pretty sizable increase in mainstream popularity and outright relevance. The latest evidence of this fact comes in the form of a new rumor that he's collaborated with Britney Spears—one he seemingly confirmed with a retweet.
Earlier today (Jan. 2), the Queens, N.Y. rapper retweeted a tweet where someone indicated that he and the legendary pop star linked up on a song called "On It." Neither Britney nor Rich have commented on this matter, but needless to say, it would be a pretty big deal if this track were to actually pop up on his The World Is Yours 2 album.
With his relentlessly confident, flex-oriented bars, Rich, who was involved in a very serious ATV accident over the weekend, has become a certified rap star over the last couple years. His lyrics are mostly about buying flossy whips and street life, so, stereotypically speaking, he doesn't exactly lineup with Mrs. Spears, who made jumped to near-immediate superstardom as a pop artist 20 years ago. With this in mind, there's no telling what this track would sound like.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Expecting Baby No. 4 Via Surrogate
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting their fourth child via surrogate, a source confirms to E! News.
"The surrogate is well into the pregnancy," the insider said. "She is due in May and everything looks good. Kim and Kanye have known for awhile and are very excited. They had one male embryo left and are thrilled it has worked out. Kim always wanted four kids and having two boys and two girls feels perfect. They were very happy with the entire experience the first time and are so grateful to have one more baby."
Rumors of the couple's plans for a fourth child have been spreading for about a year. While Kim initially shut down the reports, she later seemed more open to expanding her family.
"But I've been really open about it and talked about it on our show, so...I don't know," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star told E! News in August. "We start filming season 16 next week. So if I think about it more and it's gonna happen, you'll definitely see it on the show. But, as of now, no."
However, she said if the couple were to grow their family, a fourth child would be their last.
"I don't think I could handle more than that," she told Elle. "My time is spread really thin. And I think it's important that in all couples, the mom gives the husband as much attention as the kids."
This isn't the first time Kim and Kanye have hired a surrogate to carry their child. As fans will recall, the two welcomed their third child, Chicago West, via surrogate in January 2018. A doctor had recommended that the parents use a gestational carrier after Kim suffered from placenta accreta during the deliveries of her first two children, North West and Saint West.
"After giving birth, your placenta is supposed to come out. But mine was stuck," she told the magazine. "That's what women usually die from in childbirth—you hemorrhage and bleed to death and they can't stop it. To get it out—it's so disgusting—the doctor had to stick his whole arm in me and scrape it off. It was the most painful."
Still, she had her initial concerns about using a surrogate.
"I hated being pregnant," Kim told the publication. "But as much as I hated it, I still wished I could have done it on my own. The control is hard at the beginning. Once you let that go, it's the best experience. I would recommend surrogacy for anybody."
Even though Kim's road to motherhood hasn't been easy, an insider previously told E! News "Kanye has always wanted a big family" and that "they both feel like if it's meant to be then it's meant to be."
"Both Kim and Kanye always agreed on both wanting several kids and a big family," a second insider previously told E! News, adding that the two had an embryo stored. "They love having their kids run around and be able to grow up and enjoy each other as siblings. They definitely would want the fourth child to be close in age with the others. Family is very important to them."
Congratulations to the happy family!
White Florida man arrested for attacking Black McDonald's employee over not getting a straw!
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A St. Pete man spent New Years day in a jail cell after police say he attacked a McDonald's employee for not giving him a straw.
Yasmine James was behind the counter of the McDonald's on 34th Street South, when St. Pete police say 41-year-old Daniel Taylor forcefully grabbed her and pulled her up onto the counter. According to police, James defended herself by punching Taylor in the face, as he held on to her shirt's collar.
Brenda Biandudi, another customer in the restaurant at the time, pulled her phone out as she saw the argument escalating, seconds before Taylor grabbed James.
Biandudi says the argument started when Taylor went over to the condiment bar to grab a straw. When he noticed there were none, she says he began screaming at the employees.
"He was yelling and walking toward the counter and the young lady behind the counter told him that it’s the law now that we’re not allowed to have straws in the lobby,” she said.
The new law, which took effect January 1 in St. Petersburg says restaurants can’t have straws out. Instead, customers must request the straw. In 2020, plastic straws will no longer be allowed in restaurants at all and businesses will have to find an alternative.
"They started exchanging words laced with profanity and he said there’s no such law that exists and she was saying yes it is a law,” said Biandudi.
She says after seeing how the man reacted, she thinks he needs help. Biandudi says after leaving, he came back into the store and yelled at the manager. In the police report, it says Taylor kicked another employee in the stomach on his way out.
Taylor was arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery.
"Even if it was a mistake just ask politely. You know, treat people the way you wanna be treated,” she said.
McDonalds wouldn’t allow their employees to talk about the incident but sent this statement:
Our highest priority is always the safety and well-being of our employees and customers at our restaurants. We have been in contact with the police department and are fully cooperating with their investigation.
"I don’t know what was in his mind but I just hope he gets the help that he needs,” said Biandudi, who believes James handled herself appropriately. “She had to do what she was doing, she’s a petite girl and I just felt she did the right thing."
Suspected Burglar who robbed Usher and many others Arrested With Over $2 Million in Stolen Property
Police have arrested a man suspected of robbing Usher’s $4.2 million home back in March.
According to TMZ, the suspect burglarized a number of celebrity homes in Los Angeles, and was caught with over 2,000 items valued at more than $2 million. About $800,000 of that included property taken from Usher.
Some of the items stolen from Usher’s home include six watches, the most expensive of them being $220,000. A $200K Jesus piece and $20K in cash were also allegedly stolen.
Police believe the suspect would visit open-house events at homes up for sale to scope out locations, before later going back to rob them. Usher and his wife Grace Miguel listed their home on the market after announcing their separation in March.

Texas County Swears In 17 Black Female Judges In ‘Extraordinary Moment In History’
New representation and Black Girl Magic came to a Texas county this week when 17 black women were sworn in as new judges.
The newly-elected officials made headlines in November when they won their races for various courts in Harris County, which includes Houston and surrounding areas. They were sworn in on Tuesday.
“January 1, 2019 at noon will be an extraordinary moment in history for all of us in Harris County, Houston, Texas,” Judge LaShawn Williams wrote on Facebook last month ahead of the swearing-in ceremony.
She was one of the candidates highlighted in the Harris County Democratic Party’s “Black Girl Magic Texas” photo and campaign ahead of the November elections, which featured the largest number of black women in history on a Harris County ballot, according to the Associated Press.
The photo features the 17 now-elected officials in a courtroom along with two sitting Harris County judges who were seeking seats on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Those two judges lost their bids for statewide office but retained their local judgeships, The New York Times reported.
Nearly 20 percent of the county’s population is black, according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau statistics.
“Today we usher in a new era of representative government and progressive leadership in Harris County,” the Harris County Democratic Party posted on Facebook on Tuesday.
Judge Angela Graves-Harrington, one of the women elected in November, told the Associated Press at the time that she had hoped the images of black women on the bench would make Harris County proud.
“We felt showcasing the number of African-American women on the bench would galvanize our base and also galvanize those who don’t typically vote in the midterm elections and get them excited about coming out,” Graves-Harrington said. “We also wanted to have something out there that we could be proud of, that our community could be proud of and that Harris County could be proud of.”
Madonna’s New Booty Sparks Butt Implant Speculation
Madonna’s booty has people talking. The 60-year-old singer’s backside has caught the attention of both fans and critics. Footage of her on New Year’s Eve have some questioning whether or not the mega star has been doing some serious squats, is wearing a butt pad or may have gone under the knife.
On NYE, she appeared at New York’s Stonewall Inn, hopping on stage to make a speech and perform two songs accompanied by her adopted son, David Banda.
She wore black jeans, that accentuated her backside, pairing the look with a black shirt and black leather jacket.
What do you think of Madonna’s curves?
Kanye West Not Performing at Coachella
According to a report in TMZ, Kanye West, one of the rumored headliners for the 2019 Coachella Festival, will not be performing due to a disagreement over staging.
The publication cites “multiple sources” as saying that West found the festival’s traditional 60×40-foot stage “artistically limiting,” and Goldenvoice, which produces the festival, would not allow it to be altered or removed for West’s set, presumably owing to the logistical complications involved — although Beyonce put on an elaborate set at the 2018 festival.
“These 40×60 stages are so archaic. It’s the same type of stage on which Shakespeare’s works were performed hundreds of years ago,” TMZ cites one rather melodramatic source as saying.
If the report is accurate, West’s plans for his set must have been complex, as Beyonce’s wildly ambitious set at the 2018 festival was far from traditional in terms of its staging.
A source says the lineup announcement is probably imminent, which is not surprising as Coachella traditionally posts its lineup in the first week of January. Other reported headliners include Childish Gambino — a.k.a. Donald Glover, who has said his current tour is his last as Gambino — Justin Timberlake and Rihanna.
Reps for West and Goldenvoice either declined comment or could not immediately be reached for comment.
West, of course, is not known for taking the easy route with anything, but his live performances in recent years have been elaborate and extremely expensive: His 2016 “Saint Pablo” tour featured a stage that was suspended some 50 feet over the audience and moved from one side of the arena to the other; his 2013 “Yeezus” tour featured a giant fake mountain and many extra performers; and even his set with Kid Cudi as Kids See Ghosts at the Camp Flog Gnaw festival in November found the two of them performing inside a giant glass box that reminded many (including Lorde) of Lorde’s staging for her “Melodrama” tour.
Daryl Dragon, the ‘Captain’ of ’70s Duo Captain & Tennille, Dies at 76
Daryl Dragon, the hat-wearing musician familiar to 1970s music fans as half of the bestselling duo the Captain & Tennille, died Tuesday in Prescott, Arizona at age 76.
Dragon’s ex-wife, Toni Tennille, “was with him as he took his last breath,” said Harlon Boll, a spokesperson for the singer. In a statement, Tennille said, “He was a brilliant musician with many friends who loved him greatly. I was at my most creative in my life when I was with him.”
Dragon died of renal failure, according to Boll.
“Love Will Keep Us Together,” the title track from the duo’s 1975 debut album, reached No. 1 in July of 1975 and won the top Record of the Year prize at the following year’s Grammy Awards. “Do That to Me One More Time,” the last of their big hits, also reached the top of the chart, in 1979. In the interval, the Captain & Tennille reached the top 10 with “Muskrat Love,” “The Way I Want to Touch You,” “Lonely Night (Angel Face)” and “Shop Around.”
His stage moniker was said to have been coined by Mike Love during the late ’60s and early ’70s period when Dragon was a keyboard player for the Beach Boys; the perennial captain’s hat followed to cement the persona.
The duo’s variety show ran for one season on ABC and was followed by a series of annual specials. Dragon, who was virtually a silent partner in the duo, was said to be uncomfortable being on television, which contributed to the demise of their well-viewed series in 1977.
Dragon and Tennille divorced in 2014, after being married for 39 years. Tennille released her memoir in 2016, and in an interview with People magazine about his medical condition in 2017, Dragon said he was working on an autobiography and “I am hoping I will have as much success with my own.”
Tennille’s spokesperson said “they remained in constant contact and were dear friends to the end… Toni has asked that all of Daryl’s many fans remember him as she does, with love and a grateful heart for the music they created together.”
Dragon is survived by a brother, Doug Dragon, and two nieces, Kelly Arbout and Renee Henn. Per Tennille’s spokesperson, Dragon had asked that there be no services.
