The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Shamea Morton Is Engaged

The #RHOA pal is getting ready to walk down the aisle.There's sure to be some celebrating in the ATL over this news. The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Shamea Morton announced that she is engaged on Instagram Sunday.

Shamea revealed the news with a lovely photo of herself and her new fiancé, Gerald Mwangi, who is originally from Kenya. With hashtags in the pic's caption like "#love," "#soulmate," "#bestfriend," and "#happy," it sounds like Shamea can't wait to tie the knot with her beau. 

The couple first met at a lounge in Atlanta, but it wasn't until they reconnected at a cook-out later in the weekend that they really hit it off. "We talked for hours and we’ve been inseparable ever since," Shamea said during an interview with Kenya's Daily Nation in January. 

Shamea's good friend Porsha Williams sent her congrats to the happy couple on Instagram.

We can't wait to see what Shamea has in store for the big day. She always throws an amazing get-together, after all.

YIKES! What Taraji P. Henson Hinted About a Character Death in ‘Empire’ Season 3

“Extra’s” AJ Calloway sat down with Taraji P. Henson on the set of “Empire” in Chicago, where she dished on the third season. 

Rumors have been swirling that a character will die in the new season. Taraji confirmed the reports, saying, “Yeah, someone dies.”

As for how everyone in the cast found out about the character's death, she revealed, "They send us the script and then everybody's calling each other like… ‘What? What? What?' And then you have to wait till September 21.”

Henson also chatted about co-star Terrence Howard, who just welcomed a new baby boy named Hero with wife Mira Pak. She said, "He's doing great. I don't know where he finds the energy. He has it. He goes home every weekend to see the babies. They are so cute.” Terrence and Mira are also parents to son Qirin, 15 months.

This season, Mariah Carey will be guest-starring as a mega-star named Kitty. Of Mariah’s role, Taraji dished, “She plays a dear friend of mine. She is a performer and she is helping Jamal get through his difficulties.”

AJ also caught up with Jussie Smollett, who plays Jamal. Though he played coy on what will happen in the third season, he did reveal a fun tidbit about Mariah. When asked who took longer getting ready, Taraji or Mariah, Jussie shared, “Mariah! I’m not even gonna try and lie about that!”

WATCH:

Though Taraji is ready for the third season to premiere, she is feeling quite the opposite about the Emmys, which are handed out on September 18. Last month, Taraji nabbed an Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for her role as Cookie. She admitted, “I’m not ready for it yet.”

The time has come for fans of Frank Ocean to rejoice. Just after dropping his new visual album Endless, the singer-songwriter has resurfaced with yet another track. Delivering a new song and video titled “Nikes,” Frank gives us some real NSFW vibes with this one.

Featuring special appearances from Trina and A$AP Rocky, and tributes to both Pimp C and Trayvon Martin, the interesting clip shows the artist in a dream-like visual. With scattered clips of a rapping Chihuahua, a man dressed in a devil outfit, massive glitter, naked bodies and a few people lit on fire, the video is surely one that will leave you with more than a few questions.

Compiled of both the chopped and screwed version and the more melodic sounding piece, the video to “Nikes” is not found on the recently released Endless, but may appear on the previously titled Boys Don’t Cry.

OOOPS! Usain Bolt Caught Cheating On Girlfriend

A personal moment between Usain Bolt and a young woman has surfaced. Over the weekend, photos of the Olympic champion and a 20-year-old student named Jady Duarte went viral.

What’s the big deal? Not much besides the fact that Bolt is said to have a girlfriend whom he’s been in a relationship with for two years, named Kasi Bennett.

Reportedly, Jady posted flix via WhatsApp showing the pair cuddling and kissing.

But Jady, who is said to have met Bolt at the Rio club that he partied at over the weekend, says she’s embarrassed that the photos have went viral and is “dying of shame”. She says,

"It’s very negative. I never wanted to be famous, I’m dying of shame."

Jady says Bolt sent security over to introduce them and initially she didn’t recognize him,

"He sent security to call me, talk quickly. But at the time I did not even know it was him, because they were like many Jamaicans."

When asked about what they actually did after leaving the club, she responded,

"It was not a big deal. It was normal. I’d rather not talk about it to not complicate it."

She added:

"I just sent it to the group of my girlfriends and said ‘who only saw the Olympics will know who he is’."

She’s just a Thirsty Chick! #SMH

OMG! Watch Halle Berry Drive Backwards on the Freeway in First Trailer for ‘Kidnap’

*Halle Berry gets rather reckless in her desperate attempt to rescue her kidnapped son in the first trailer for “Kidnap.”

The trailer starts off with mother and son (Sage Correa) happily playing Marco Polo at an amusement park…until Berry’s shout of “Marco” goes unanswered.

Turns out a woman has taken the boy. Berry catches her putting him into a turquoise-colored sedan, which she runs down and clings to unsuccessfully as it speeds off.

She alerts the police, but winds up taking matters into her own hands, stalking the sedan for the rest of the trailer – at one point, even driving backwards on the freeway.

“Wherever you go, I will find you,” she declares. “You took the wrong kid.”

Luis Prieto directs the action thriller from a script by Knate Gwaltney. Relativity bought distribution rights for “Kidnap” at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival, then delayed its release several times as it went through a bankruptcy reorganization last year, according to Variety.

“Kidnap” will finally arrive in theaters on Dec. 2.

#RHOA The Reading School Is In Session from The Jamaica Trip!

This week on The Real Housewives of Atlanta we are back in Jamaica for the cast trip/filming of Cynthia’s eyewear commercial. There has been major drama so far because Nene showed up and surprised the women, which really set Kenya off. Cynthia downplayed the status of her and Kenya’s friendship to Nene, and chose Kim Fields to direct her commercial over Kenya. It’s ultimately Nene who brought Kenya back with Cynthia, and when she does Kenya lets all of the women in on some gossip about Kim’s husband; that there are rumors he is gay. Of course Kim finds out that Kenya’s talking about her husband and the fallout from this is where tonight’s episode picks up.

Sheree lets Kim know what the ladies were saying about Chris, and Kenya cops to what she said. The other ladies act like they weren’t involved at all, but Sheree does admit that her, Porsha, and Phaedra Googled Chris the night before. Bravo airs the flashback and the first thing that comes up is “Kim Fields’ fruity baby daddy,” and the second is about Chris and Kim’s tax problems. Kim says she never heard those rumors about Chris before, and that they’ve been together for 10 years. Things remained calm, despite Kenya throwing out a dig about her financial issues.

Nene and Phaedra take Kim to breakfast, and in her interview Nene states she is feeling really bad about the “joking around” that took place nights before about Kim’s husband. Nene and Phaedra want to teach Kim how to stand up for herself against Kenya. They tell her she needs to confront her head on, and then they do HILARIOUS impressions that are spot on and Nene points how that Kim is very passive and Kenya “preys” on that.

We see Kandi and Todd for the first time in a while and she is glowing! They are bringing Mama Joyce and Kandi’s Aunts to a restaurant tasting in hopes to get Aunt Bertha (Kandi’s final family member) to commit to the restaurant. The food looked amazing and in the end all are on board; just another venture for Kandi, is there anything she can’t do!

Back in Jamaica Kim calls Chris and lets him know what happened the night before, and his reaction was much more calm than expected. He takes the high road and says if he goggled everyone else what he would find would be much worse. Good point Chris.

Peter was really in his element on this trip and he planned an excursion to Dunn River Falls. It’s supposed to be a team building exercise, helping each other up beautiful, natural waterfalls. Kenya and her man Matt choose to make this a competition, running far ahead of the group and making a cocky comment when everyone else finished, together.

Next they head to a local spot for some authentic Jamaican food and Peter answers the question we’ve all been wondering; yes he and the men were smoking some “Bob Marley” on the trip. No idea about the women, that wasn’t show.

Nene breaks the ice for Kim; forcing Kim to talk to Kenya, and you could tell Kim is genuinely nice person who is uncomfortable with confrontation. When it’s Kenya’s turn to speak she starts with a snarky comment to Kim about finally speaking up, and Cynthia interjects at this right away. Cynthia also tells Kenya she should apologize for putting her hands on Kim’s chair. Kenya ultimately tells Kim that she is indifferent about her; doesn’t like her, doesn’t hate her. She also elaborates that she doesn’t feel the need to work on the relationship anymore but she can be cordial. Kim brings to light that Kenya crossed the boundary of respect and in the end they agree to respect each other. Kim thinks all will be good moving forward; I think she’s dreaming, this is housewives world, but we will have to wait and see.

Cynthia, Nene, and Sheree get dessert and Cynthia turns to the ladies for advice on how to approach her problems with Kenya. They tell her she needs to tell Kenya how hurt she is for Kenya’s behavior in Jamaica, especially at the commercial. Cynthia agrees that’s the right move.

We are at the final night of what has been a very entertaining trip and Peter has kept it classy all the way. There is a beautiful cocktail hour on the beach followed by dinner which Kenya and Matt are late for.

At dinner Sheree reveals that after the trip she is considering getting back with Bob, and they are really cute together. He says he needed time to work on himself so he can be better for her and hopefully she will spill on the status of their relationship at the reunion.

The guys call out Matt for saying he loved Kenya the night before, a move he copped to and told her to her face. Kenya seemed to love the attention but didn’t say it back. Cynthia and Kenya start talking about their problems and Kenya deflects the cause of the problems to when Nene arrived. Nene says she’ll always be around and that she has nothing to do with Kenya and Cynthia’s problems. It’s unclear if Nene meant she’d always be around with Cynthia, or with The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Kenya and Cynthia both admit to being hurt and Kenya apologizes for not supporting Cynthia with the commercial. Peter takes things a bit to far and makes Kenya repeat herself, and it is very awkward this all goes down with the whole group watching.

This was a very eventful trip and next week it’s back to the A-T-L; Cheers to Jamaica!

'Murder Rap' Investigator Claims Biggie Smalls Mother Knows Diddy Played Some Part In Her Son's Murder

More speculation is thrown at P Diddy for the murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls.

Retired LAPD detective Greg Kading from Hip Hip documentary 'Murder Rap', has claimed that Voletta Wallace knows P Diddy and Suge Knight "had some responsibility" in the murders of the two rappers.

The series, which was brought to attention earlier this month , named the supposed murders of Tupac and Biggie.

In an interview on the 'Murder Master Music Show', Kading claims that he “sat down with [Voletta] and explained to her what we had discovered in the police investigation."

LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW below:

"We sat there and it was a very emotional encounter, because she was, I think, understanding clearly what had happened.

"I think she was starting to see that other people were responsible than who she had previously believed based on the Russell Poole nonsense.”

Poole was the original investigator in both cases before Greg Kading took over and ruled Poole's investigation invalid.

Kading's own theory is P Diddy hired Crips gang member Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis to kill Shakur and Suge Knight for $1 million.

He now believes Keffe D's nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, shot Tupac in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996.

In retaliation, according to Kade, Suge hired Bloods gang member Wardell "Poochie" Fouse to kill The Notorious B.I.G.

Biggie Smalls was shot to death in Los Angles March 9, 1997.

ALL THINGS BEYONCE'!
Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Fruit of Islam Offers protection for  Beyonce On Tour!

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan is offering up protection for Beyonce during her upcoming FORMATION World Tour amidst reports that some police unions will be going out of their way to NOT protect her at her stadium performances.

Sounds like the minister is changing up his tune after scolding Bey over the way she dresses a few months ago. Remember when he publicly criticized Jay Z telling him he needed to keep Mrs. Carter “covered up?” Hmph.

Minister Farrakhan delivered the keynote address at the Nation of Islam’s Saviours' Day Convention in Detroit where he addressed the “Formation” singer’s unapologetic Super Bowl Performance and the supposed boycott from police that followed.

He started off saying, "And my sweet sister Beyonce. Boy! Did she fix them?! People are terrified. Beyonce? She started talking that black stuff! And white folks are like ‘we don’t know how to deal with that.’’

He continues, "When one of us shows independence: Look at how you treating Beyonce now. You go picket? You're not going to offer her police protection, but the F.O.I. (Fruit of Islam) will."

They don't want that!

He then praises Grammy Award winning rapper Kendrick Lamar for setting a new standard in the rap game and then yelled out, “The cultural revolution is on!”

Why is it that any time someone is PRO-black that automatically equates ANTI-white in some folks minds? Learn the difference folks.  And please understand that calling attention to the wrong doings of any organization does not equate being anti said organization.  It's always so interesting when certain members of organizations choose to be outraged about folks commenting about their wrongdoings, as opposed to being outraged about the wrongdoing itself.

By the way, 8 out of the 9 cops killed in the U.S. in 2016...were killed by white men.  But they don't want you to know that

Black protesters with their hands in the air, minute by minute National news coverage, of thugs and criminals. White ARMED people overtaking Federal Property..."Activist" "Protesters" mentioned occasionally as the police routinely requested they leave.....

Jay Z’s Alleged Love Child Goes Federal with Fraud, Corruption Allegations in Paternity Case

Jay z and Rymir Satterthwaite*A legal battle involving Jay Z and his alleged love child, Rymir Satterthwaite, has entered a new phase as Satterthwaite takes the case to federal court.

At the heart of Sattterthwaite’s demand for federal action are claims from his attorneys that the case has been damaged with fraud, corruption, and collusion, according to RadarOnline. The Family Civil Liberties Union (FCLU), a supporter of Satterthwaite’s case, alleges that opposing attorneys have colluded with employees of the local court system in conspiring to withhold essential documents from the petitioner’s counsel.

As a result, Satterthwaite has filed a Notice of Federal Younger Doctrine in the Superior Court of New Jersey, asserting that local dereliction of duty has resulted in a violation of his constitutional rights. In addition, Satterthwaite has asked for an FBI investigation into “corruption such as but not limited to mail fraud, consumer fraud, RICO” on the part of the New Jersey Camden County Trial Court Family Part.

Satterthwaite’s elevation of the case is the latest development to occur in his camp’s fight to get recognition of the 22-year-old’s paternity.

“This is about making sure that Jay Z is held responsible for the emotional damage that he has caused Rymir,” Satterthwaite’s former guardian, Lillie Collie told Radar. “Rymir not only looks identical to Jay Z, but he really, really looks a lot like Jay Z’s mother, who is Rymir’s grandmother. Unfortunately, for Rymir, he has an entire family that he will never be able to know.”

Despite claims from the family that the case is “not about the money at all,” the lengthy delays in the case come as a major obstacle in family’s pursuit of justice for Satterthwaite.

“The family has not gotten paid one cent since this story came out,” Collie revealed to Radar. “It is costing us a lot of money to proceed.”

House of Cards: Frank Underwood heads to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery

President Frank Underwood has finally joined the ranks of fellow American commanders-in-chief. In his own way. 'House of Cards': Frank and Claire square off in exclusive season 4 poster

The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery unveiled a painting of House of Cards‘ fictional POTUS on Monday night in Washington, D.C. (See it above; click to enlarge.)

To celebrate British artist Jonathan Yeo’s work, Kevin Spacey appeared in character with Yeo, portrait gallery director Kim Sajet, Netflix COO Ted Sarandos, and a real member of the White House press corps.

“I’m pleased that the Smithsonian continues to prove itself as a worthwhile institution,” Underwood said in a statement. “I’m one step closer to convincing the rest of the country that I am the President.”

The true Spacey also chimed in a statement: “Actually, I’m really delighted to be included in a work of art at such a remarkable institution. When the Smithsonian’s Portrait Gallery first approached Jonathan and me about a portrait of me — the actor — I wanted to see if Jonathan could unveil a fully rendered presidential portrait. It is a real honor to be exhibited at the Smithsonian and a thrill to see Frank take his place among the presidents in this historic setting.”

Yeo previously painted Spacey as Richard III; that portrait was displayed in London’s National Portrait Gallery, which hung from September 2013 through January 2014. Underwood will be on display in Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery from Wednesday through October.

Those in attendance also got to catch the season 4 premiere of House of Cards; for everyone else, the next installment of Netflix’s Emmy-winning series begins streaming March 4.

T.I. Signs Distribution Deal With Roc Nation, Becomes Latest Co-Owner of Tidal

After leaving the major-label system following the release of his ninth studio album Paperwork in October 2014 via Columbia, T.I. has finally found a new home under Jay Z's wing. Ahead of his pop-up performance at Greenbriar Mall in his hometown of Atlanta on Monday night (Feb. 22), Tip announced he has signed a distribution deal with Roc Nation for his upcoming album, Dime Trap, and joins the growing list of artists who are co-owners of Tidal.

Signs pointed to T.I.'s Tidal deal last week, when he announced that Monday's pop-up show would be live-streamed on the service as part of the company's Tidal X concert series. At the same time, he released his new single from the album, Money Talk, exclusively on the service. As the latest artist co-owner, Tip joins the likes of Kanye West, Beyoncé, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Usher and more who have stakes in the service and appeared onstage at its launch event last March; Lil Wayne came onboard last June.

More significantly, Dime Trap will be T.I.'s first album released without a major label, though Roc Nation is itself distributed through Universal Music Group. After poor sales of his 2001 debut I'm Serious, T.I. was dropped from Arista Records and signed to Atlantic, where he released 2003's Trap Muzik and his next six albums culminating with 2012's Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head before leaving for Columbia. He's spoken about returning to the Trap Muzik sound on his forthcoming LP, due out this year on his Grand Hustle Records label.

Florida Pastor And Wife Accused Of Luring Girls For Sex

A pastor and his wife are being accused of using their organization as a front to lure teen girls into sexual abuse.

In 1999, pastor James Jackson and his wife, Valerie founded P.H.A.T. Positive Habitat Aspiring Teens in Palm Beach, Florida. The nonprofit organization was said to have a goal which would enable teens to express themselves and transition into adulthood.

But along the way, if that was ever a sincere goal, something went terribly wrong.

According to reports by CBS 12 in Palm Beach, a 15-year-old girl went to authorities claiming years of sexual abuse by the Jacksons.

The girl told police her abuse started at age 11. Pastor James, 47, would show her films that had sexual content. At some point, the pastor exposed himself to her, and while teaching her how to use a condom, had her perform oral sex on him for the first time.

This was apparently not the first time pastor Jackson practiced pedophilia. The girl’s older sister claims to have gone through a similar form of sexual abuse. The now 22-year-old said that starting at age 17 James made her take baths with him and the two of them had sex daily.

All with the knowledge and encouragement of pastor James’ wife, Valerie; who allegedly taught the girls how to keep her husband aroused.

The Jackson’s organization had gained recognition and prominence, so their community, and no doubt, congregation, is shocked by the allegations. 

James now faces charges that include sexual battery of a minor, causing a person under 18 to have contact with bodily fluid, possessing photos of a sexual performance of a child, and selling obscene material of a minor.

His wife Valerie, 46, faces charges of a lewd act of molestation on a minor and child neglect without causing harm.
