#RHoA: OH? Andy Cohen Blames Porsha Williams For The ‘Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ Reunion Brawl With Kenya Moore
Andy Cohen took sides during Watch What Happens Live on Sunday night when it came to the epic reunion brawl between Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Porsha Williams and Kenya Moore from a couple of years back.  Sunday night’s WWHL included several OG Real Housewives on stage, such as Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson and NeNe Leakes.

Each of the women got to turn tables on Andy and grill him with questions, similar to what he does during every single Housewives reunion.
NeNe point blank asked who was to blame for the reunion fight between Porsha and Kenya, where Porsha grabbed Kenya by the hair and dragged her to the ground after Kenya provoked her several times with a blowhorn.

Andy first admitted that he didn’t get how much Kenya was provoking Porsha prior to the fight. 
Even with that bit of information, he still thinks it was Porsha’s fault, since she was the one who got off the couch and caused the situation to escalate.

Do you agree with Andy?

#HipHopNews: Eminem Speaks Out About Tupac & Biggie's Rap Rivalry
Eminem is sharing his thoughts on Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.‘s rap rivalry.
The 46-year-old “Killshot” rapper opened up about the late rappers while hosting 12 Days of Dissmas on his exclusive SiriusXM channel Shade 45 on Tuesday (December 25).

LISTEN HERE 

Joined by SiriusXM host DJ Whoo Kid and Paul Rosenberg, Eminem discussed some of hip hop’s greatest diss records ever made. Listeners heard songs from artists such as LL Cool J, N.W.A., 2Pac, and more.
On the rivalry, Eminem shared, “That, I feel like, was the first time I ever heard anybody get that personal on a diss ’cause it was definitely – most of it, majority – was personal, below-the-belt jabs and s–t, but it was done so well, and the record was just co crazy.”

“That’s another beef,” he added. “The Tupac/Biggie thing was tough because you like them both, and you’re just stuck in this weird thing where you’re bumping the Tupac diss record, then you’re bumping something from Biggie that might be dissing him in it.”

Eminem also discussed the first 50 Cent song he ever heard and the “dangerous” energy he felt when listening to it.

Meek Mill Surprises 3,000 Kids With Toy Giveaway
Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill hosted a toy giveaway for over 3,000 local children.
According to reports, Mill selected the students from schools in the area that he says are near and dear to his heart. For him, this is a small way of saying Merry Christmas to the community.
“Just giving back to my neighborhood. This is where I grew up. We are able to do it so we are doing it,” Mill said.
Mill grew up in single-parent home and understands that, for many, this giveaway may be the only opportunity that they have to put presents under the tree.
He opened up his heart and his wallet.
The rapper gave away about 500 bicycles, hundreds of shoes, backpacks, toys and more.
“My son can get toys for Christmas. But everybody can’t afford to be in a situation where they can have a good Christmas, so we wanted to bring Christmas back to our old neighborhood,” Mill said.
Hundreds, if not thousands of families, showed up to the toy giveaway. But this was not only about getting a toy, it was about the spirit of selflessness and giving back.

“I didn’t get a bike because it might be about 500 people outside and they really need a bike. I really don’t need a bike, my mom works a lot,” Michael Barnes-Pace of North Philadelphia said.
For the families on the receiving end, this means more than words can express. This will be a Christmas to remember.

Merry Christmas from Terrell Owens Gets Clowned For having a Thirst Trap Christmas Pic
Terrell Owens gets clowned for posting Christmas thirst trap photo.
On Monday, the former NFL star posted a photo of himself standing shirtless in front of a Christmas tree with tiny green boxers on. He also has a red ribbon tied around the boxers and in the caption wrote, “Do not open package ’til Christmas.”
There’s another shot of Owens taken from the back, where he’s decorating the tree and putting a photo of himself at the top instead of a star.
“Too late for that,” one person wrote, which seems to imply that Owens at 45 is too old to post such photos.
“Put some clothes on, bruh,” wrote another.
“I’m still a fan always will be,” a third person commented. “You’re so accomplished. You don’t need to seek attention. You’ve already done so much to be respected for. That’s all.”

There were others who said they were thinking of canceling Owens altogether.
“If you wasn’t one of my favorite wide receivers of all time I’d block you for this,” one person lashed out.
“Not the first pic I needed to wake up to on IG. Ya boy gotta chill,” another chimed in.

But there were a bunch of women who came to T.O.’s defense and blasted the people who criticized him.
“Sorry you were offended, but he has thousands of female fans too. “This was for them,” one woman commented.

LOL!


Indonesia Tsunami Deaths Tolls Hit 429!
SUMUR, Indonesia (AP) — Panicked residents, police and soldiers in this remote fishing village clobbered by a devastating weekend tsunami ran to higher ground Tuesday, shouting “Water is coming! Water is coming!” and reciting verses from the Quran as emergency messages were broadcast over mosque speakers.
It proved to be a false alarm, but a similar frenzy broke out in Tanjung Lesung, another tsunami-stricken area located hours away, as unsettled survivors of the disaster remained traumatized by a tragedy that killed more than 420 people and left thousands homeless.

Meanwhile, Christmas celebrations were replaced by somber prayers, as church leaders called on Christians across Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, to pray for tsunami victims.
Unlike other tsunamis that have hit disaster-prone Indonesia following large earthquakes, Saturday’s big waves blasted ashore at night without warning. The eruption of Anak Krakatau, or Child of Krakatoa, a volcano in the Sunda Strait, is believed to have created a landslide on the volcano’s slope, displacing a large volume of water that slammed into the islands of Java and Sumatra.

People in Sumur village, which has been slow to receive aid due to roads being cut off, remained stunned by how quickly the tsunami hit. The beach, located just a few kilometers from the tourist island of Umang near Java’s western tip, is popular for snorkeling and other water activities. The tsunami decimated the area, ripping houses from their foundations and bulldozing concrete buildings.
Scientists have said the tsunami’s waves were recorded in several places at about 1 meter (3.3 feet) high, but residents of Sumur insisted they towered more than 3 meters (10 feet) there. They said a soaring white wall of water roared toward them at high speeds, ripping trees out of the ground by their roots.

“There was no sign of a tsunami when we were at the beach. The sea didn’t recede,” said Tati Hayati, a housewife, who was enjoying a pleasant evening with 10 other people when the disaster hit. “It was calm and bright with the full moon.”
When she spotted high, fast-moving waves launching toward the shore, she ran to her car and managed to get inside. But she couldn’t outrun it. She said the car was struck by three waves, breaking out the back window and filling the vehicle with gushing water.
“We were locked inside. The car was swaying in the waves and we thought we would all die,” Hayati said. “We almost could not breathe and I almost gave up when I groped the key in the water and managed to open the door, and the water began to recede. We got out of the car and ran to safety.”
The disaster was compounded because it occurred over a busy holiday weekend before Christmas when many people had fled crowded cities such as Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, to relax at popular beach areas.
Pastor Markus Taekz said Tuesday that his Rahmat Pentecostal Church in the hard-hit area of Carita did not celebrate Christmas with joyous songs this year. Instead, only about 100 people showed up for the service, which usually brings in double that number. Many congregation members had already left the area for locations away from the disaster zone.

“This is an unusual situation because we have a very bad disaster that killed hundreds of our sisters and brothers in Banten,” Taekz said, referring to the province on Java island. “So our celebration is full of grief.”

The death toll climbed to 429 on Tuesday, with more than 1,400 people injured and at least 128 missing, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for Indonesia’s Disaster Mitigation Agency.

He said more than 16,000 people were displaced and that there was an urgent need for heavy equipment in the Sumur subdistrict near Ujung Kulon National Park to help get aid flowing and reach people who may be injured or trapped.
Military troops, government personnel and volunteers continued searching along debris-strewn beaches. Yellow, orange and black body bags were laid out where victims were found, and weeping relatives identified the dead. Many searched for missing loved ones at hospital morgues.

The lead singer of the Indonesian pop band Seventeen located the body of his dead wife after posting emotional posts on social media, vowing that he would not leave her. The group was performing at a beach hotel when the tsunami was captured on video smashing into their stage, killing several band members and crew.

Anak Krakatau is a volcanic island that formed in the early part of the 20th century near the site of the cataclysmic 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, which killed more than 30,000 people and hurled so much ash that it turned day to night in the area and reduced global temperatures.
The head of Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, Dwikorita Karnawati, said Saturday’s tsunami was likely caused by Anak Krakatau’s volcanic activity and so could not have been picked up by sensors, which monitor conventional earthquakes responsible for more than 90 percent of Indonesia’s tsunamis.

She said the tsunami was probably caused by the collapse of a big section of the volcano’s slope. Anak Krakatau has been erupting since June and did so again 24 minutes before the tsunami, according to the geophysics agency. Other scientists have said an underwater landslide may also have contributed to the disaster.
Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands and home to 260 million people, lies along the Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
In September, thousands were believed killed by a quake and tsunami that hit Indonesia’s Sulawesi island. A quake on the island of Lombok killed 505 people in August.

Saturday’s disaster came ahead of the anniversary of the massive Asian tsunami that hit Dec. 26, 2004, after a magnitude 9.1 earthquake off Sumatra island spawned huge waves. The giant wall of water killed some 230,000 people in a dozen countries, most of them in Indonesia.


Vans Sues Target For Copying Their Iconic “Old Skool” Sneakers
Well, it looks like Target is next on the list to be sued for copying another brand’s design. 
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Vans is not very pleased that Target began selling their “Camella Lace-Up” sneakers, which is very similar to their 1977 iconic “Old Skool” sneaker. 

Target’s version of the sneaker hit the stands in August and immediately began to receive negative feedback in their reviews, as customers called them “fake Vans.” 
Vans claims that Target’s shoe features a very similar jazz stripe, which they feel that Target intentionally copied the distinctive look because they knew it would create confusion so the knockoffs would sell. 

Vans wants all of the sneakers destroyed and the profits made from the sneakers. 
According to TMZ, Target is aware of the lawsuit and “Have a deep appreciation and respect for design rights.” 

Target reps say their vendor is looking into the claims.


Trey Songz And Lori Harvey Are Officially Dating! The Couple Spotted In LA Club
It has been confirmed by B. Scott that Trey Songz and Lori Harvey are officially a couple. The two were spotted together showing a whole lot of PDA at The Phoenix in Los Angeles.
Unlike the last time they were photographed together, the couple wasn’t hiding at all. Trey and Lori were recently spotted at a jewelry store in LA unsuccessfully ducking paparazzi, and once the photos hit the internet, many were wondering what Lori’s relationship status actually was.

Lori was last linked to her now ex-fiancé Memphis Depay, and the world was convinced he was the one after Lori’s stepfather, King Of Comedy Steve Harvey, announced their engagement and his approval last year.
There was never an official announcement of the split, their presence on each other’s social media accounts just gradually ceased. The next thing we know, Depay says his DMs are blowing up with ladies shooting their shots while Harvey is photographed out with Trey and Future is making subliminal videos, possibly suggesting she had moved on to him first.

Yup, they're still a thing.  And they're spending the Holiday season together.  Flicks of Jamie Foxx & Katie Holmes boo'd up in New York City just before Christmas Eve inside...

The actor/singer had a Holiday party at his place last night. It's unclear if Katie was there. But Jamie was def dancing all up on the ladies:

Tamar Braxton Forced to Explain Her Apparent Lack of Sympathy After News of Trina Braxton’s Ex-Husband’s Death
Tamar Braxton is not here for folks shaming her after she failed to send condolences to her former brother-in-law following his death.
News emerged on Dec. 21 that Trina Braxton’s ex-husband, Gabe Solis, died after a battle with cancer. But on that day, Tamar uploaded a video promoting Fashion Nova on Instagram. In no time, folks lit her up for appearing not to have any sympathy.

“She don’t care about no one she is all about her.”

“Tamar put this post up after the media announced his death and I think that it’s cruel and insensitive. She should have had a moment of silence like the other sister’s and not post anything until Trina announced it.”
“No love 4 ur brother n law Wow.”
In response, Tamar took to her Instagram Story Sunday to make things clear.
“Gabe was not my husband. Why would I post an ad on a RIP?? It was a joke between us and also his family asked if we didn’t post pictures!! I don’t understand why I’m being dragged??! Hold me accountable for my own nigga [how bout that]!!” she wrote. Dec. 23.

She had more to say on a post a day later when she blasted social media for breaking the news before Trina could share with the family.

“There is NO RESPECT when it comes to social media. I don’t believe it was designed for people to have a platform to bully, say what they want, to create mess, or speak against you or to control your destiny,” she explained. “I’m trying things a little bit differently these days. So me posting about @gabe_solis1234 death BEFORE Trina and her asking that we keep it private for his family’s sake would have been in bad taste and also going against my sisters trust. I’m on vacation and we heard about the news shortly before you all did. I myself found out he was sick just 3weeks ago. NO ONE expected this!!!”

Girl????


Helicopter crash kills Mexican Political Power Couple! Governor, and Former Governor
MEXICO CITY — A husband-and-wife political power couple who were the current and ex-governors of the central state of Puebla died Christmas Eve in a helicopter crash, Mexican officials reported.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador expressed his “deepest condolences” via Twitter to the family of Gov. Martha Erika Alonso and ex-Gov. Rafael Moreno Valle on Monday evening. He said that authorities would investigate the cause of the crash.

Marko Cortes, president of the couple’s National Action Party, tweeted that he deeply lamented the fatal accident.
Alonso took office as governor less than two weeks ago. Moreno Valle governed the central state from 2011 to 2017 and was currently a federal senator.
The Reforma newspaper reported that the helicopter took off from Puebla’s eponymous capital city and crashed in Huejotzingo, about 20 miles away.

The result of the July vote in which Alonso won office was disputed by Lopez Obrador’s Morena party, which alleged that it was marred by widespread irregularities and manipulated by Moreno Valle in order to hand power to his wife.
But independent electoral authorities upheld the result and she was sworn into office on Dec. 14.

Government agencies and officials from former President Enrique Pena Nieto to Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum also expressed condolences via statements and social media.


AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES?
‘SANTA JR.’
Never really thought about it, but I guess Santa doesn’t even have to bother with taking selfies since he can just buy his likeness pretty much anywhere on everything.

Crossing our fingers that they can keep this up!


Madonna Becomes A Billionaire
When it comes to building and sustaining a loyal fan base, very few have done it half as well as Madonna.

Now, in reaping the rewards that come with being an iconic, organic inspirational entertainer, she has now reportedly reached billionaire status, after profit from her latest tour sent her total earnings over the 1 billion dollar mark.
After bringing in $305,158,363, her ‘MDNA Tour’ stands as the highest grossing tour of 2012, and also lifted her combined earnings from the 700 million figure to the 1 billion dollar spot…and beyond.
For, the aforementioned 3 million dollars comes hand in hand with a further  $75 million generated from merchandise sales and the  $10 million she earned from the tour’s  TV and DVD rights, cementing her status as one of the highest earning entertainers of all time.

The best part about this?
Well, as an artist whose success lies in the heart of her craft, her earnings are undoubtedly generated by fans who truly trust, respect and admire her undying brand.

Kind of epic, considering the fact of her number of her contemporaries ‘back in the day’ are unable to boast of the same loyalty today…and even more epic, when one realizes that unlike these contemporaries she is just influential today as she was ‘back then’- birthing three generations of starlets all hoping to emulate her infallible reign as the Queen of Pop.

As well all know, all of the rappers listed above do more than just rap. They’ve all got their hands in a variety of projects ranging from clothing to electronics.

Are you surprised that any other artist didn’t make the list? We all know how rappers love to flaunt and talk about how much money they have and what they can do.

Oscar de la Renta: Michelle Obama Doesn’t Influence Fashion
*Designer Oscar de la Renta has to just be hating on first lady Michelle Obama because he hasn’t said not one positive thing about her fashion.
Infamously known for criticizing her for wearing a cardigan when first meeting the Queen of England, he says Mrs. Obama doesn’t influence fashion.
During a fashion gala in Mexico City last week, he said, “An anonymous woman on the street is the woman who influences fashion today, not a movie star or first lady.”

Perhaps he’s feeling a bit bitter because he hasn’t had the chance to dress Obama. But he is known to have once clothed first ladies Laura Bush and Hilary Clinton.
Maybe he’s a bit dried up at this point. Besides, the current first lady is a bit more hip and YOUNG and has a tendency to dress with a bit more edge than previous first ladies.

I’ll say this So Michelle Obama doesn’t influence fashion, eh? Tell that to J. Crew, whose web site blows a gasket everytime she or her kids wear their clothes at a public event or on a TV show and the same thing with Jason Wu. The First Lady’s fashion choices might not influence the people who wear Ocsar, but plenty of others are obviously paying attention. She’s 49 not 69!


Kim K. Talks Raising Her & Kanye West's Bi-Racial Child
While promoting her role in Tyler Perry's Temptation, Kim Kardashian spoke to BET about raising a bi-racial baby and how she and Kanye West will handle the issue of race.  Check it inside.....

There's a few people out there who are skeptical about Kim K.'s parenting skills.  So check out her newest comments to BET about how she's going to raise her and Kanye West's bi-racial baby:

On raising a bi-racial child:
“I have a lot of friends that are all different nationalities and their children are bi-racial, so they have kind of talked to me a little bit about it and what to expect and what not to expect. "But I think that the most important thing is how I would want to raise my children is to just not see color.  There will be so many experiences…that you won’t really know how to prepare for until you really go through it so I think raising a child in general is challenging.”

On expsing her children to different cultures
“Obviously you want your children for me to travel the world and experience different races and different cultures everywhere so I think that would be something that is important to me to give as much information as I could.


Out & About: Ciara & Future Do Some Shopping In Beverly Hills

During a recent interview, Future spoke highly of CiCi’s forthcoming album, One Woman Army, calling it a classic – and when talking about her, he said; “Right now, at the time in my life where I’m in the studio. I’m so engulfed in my music, I only need one woman.” The “Body Party” songstress made an appearance on BET’s The Game season 6 premiere


Real Housewives' NeNe Leakes reveals weight loss plan for summer wedding
She is known for her big personality and statuesque figure on The Real Housewives Of Atlanta.
But NeNe Leakes is planning on downsizing in time for her summer wedding.
The reality star-turned-actress has revealed that she wants to lose 10lbs by the time she remarries her ex-husband Gregg Leakes - but insists she won’t resort to drastic measures.
She told the new issue of In Touch magazine: ‘I will try to lose 10 pounds, but I don’t want to be a skinny-ass bride – I wanna be curvy!’

The 45-year-old split from her beau, 58, in 2010 and the couple – who have a 14-year-old son named Brentt together – were officially divorced in 2011.
He proposed to her on New Year’s Eve in Miami, Florida and she confirmed they were planning on walking up the aisle again on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in January.
 Second time around: NeNe and Gregg Leakes will be getting married again in Atlanta, Georgia and she plans on dropping 10 pounds
NeNe explained about the special moment: ‘We were with our son – Gregg somehow got him out of the condo and had a big heart made of Hershey’s Kisses on the bed. It was sweet! I said yes right away.’
The outspoken TV personality has already begun plans for the ceremony and wants her nine-month-old granddaughter – from her 23-year-old son Bryson, who she had in a previous relationship – to feature.

She joked: ‘We are going to have a big fantasy wedding, probably in Atlanta this summer. My granddaughter Bri’asia will be there. She can’t walk yet but we’ll pull her down the aisle!’
NeNe revealed that she hasn’t picked the dress yet but is ‘still interviewing designers. They’re sending me sketches.’

Now she has made the transition from her Bravo programme parts in Ryan Murphy’s series Glee and The New Normal, the star explained her success is what made them realize she wanted to reconcile with Gregg.
She explained to the weekly publication: ‘When I started living my dream, things changed. I started making more money than him. He’d say “You don’t need me anymore,”  but I really did.


Robin Thicke Quits BET’s ‘Real Husbands Of Hollywood’?
R&B singer Robin Thicke, no longer wants to work with BET and the “Real Husbands of Hollywood” anymore.  According to a gossip blog, Robin Thicke abruptly quit the show after making the cast and crew wait hours for him to show up to set.

Thicke, singer no longer wants to be a cast member on the fake reality show sitcom because he feels it’s tarnishing his brand. He doesn’t believe he has the type of fans who watch BET. As you would expect, the executives over at BET are upset because Robin Thicke was looked at as the person who brought a little bit of crossover appeal to the show.
Sources also say, a member of Thicke’s camp called the set after Thicke had the television crew waiting for hours to say, “Keep the check because Robin is not doing the show anymore.”

What do you think about Robin quitting?



Ex-Miami Dolphins Player Mark Duper Beats Son Unconscious …Twice
*Smh. We get upset with our kids for sure, but ex-Miami Dolphins’ Mark Duper took it to a whole ‘nother level recently, knocking his 17-year old son, Marcus out…twice, during several altercations in the family home.
Of course he has been arrested.
Duper has been quoted as saying that the issue in his household was a “family matter,” and added, “This is not an open book. I have to deal with this within my family.”

Marcus’ mother passed away a few years ago.

The battle was actually witnessed by Dolphins’ defensive end Hugh Green who said that Marcus had actually started the fight “thinking he could beat his father.”  Green reportedly stopped by Duper’s home with his own 18-year-old son after attending a charity golfing event.
According to police records, Duper discovered that Marcus had sent his ex-girlfriend a menacing text message, which he reportedly denied, and soon after, the fight broke out.  According to The Florida Times-Union, the Jacksonville police report details how Duper allegedly “punched his son in the face one time because he wouldn’t listen to him about picking up his hat.”

Duper scored 59 touchdowns with the Dolphins. He was named to three Pro Bowls and became a two-time All-Pro selection; but his glory came to an end when he was charged with buying cocaine with an intent to sell it back in 1995.  He was acquitted.

Regarding the altercation with his son, he made bail, $5,000, and was released.


Angela Bassett TALKS "Waiting To Exhale" Sequel...And What To Do About Whitney Houston's Character
While promoting her role in the hit film Olympus Has Fallen, Golden Globe winning actress Angela Bassett dished on what's going on with the Waiting To Exhale sequel. Find out what she said inside....
Golden Globe winner Angela Bassett talked to HuffPost Black Voices about her most recent hit movie Olympus Has Fallen and also revealed the status of the Waiting To Exhale sequel and her thoughts on the continuation of Whitney Houston's "Savannah character".  Also, she revealed which historical figure she hopes to portray one day.  Here are the highlights:

On your latest film, “Olympus Has Fallen.” Can talk about your role as Lynn Jacobs?
I play Lynn Jacobs the director of the secret service. She’s the ex-boss of Gerard Butler character “Mike Banning.” There’s never been a female head of the Secret Service, much less a woman of color. It really was a bold casting choice, because generally the role is dominated by men and testosterone. But sometimes with women in movies, we can show our best selves, and in this one we show that we’re real capable women. Myself, Melissa Leo as Secretary of Defense, which is another role that hasn’t been played by a woman. But there’s a level of commitment, integrity and strength in the roles. The film is so authentic.

Terry McMillian shared her thoughts on the sequel to “Waiting to Exhale,” and revealed that the film’s producers were still up in the air about Whitney Houston’s character, “Savannah Jackson.” What’s the latest status?

They’re still writing. One of our original producers, from the first “Exhale,” is on board. So that’s a good sign, but they’re still working on the script. It’s just how to deal with it [Whitney’s loss]. And probably the best way to deal with it is just deal with it. It’s like what happens in life, in a way. Life is about life in passing, living and dying, winning and losing. So that’s what I know so far.

If the producers decide to proceed with the storyline of “Savannah,” is there anyone that you would like to see play the character?

Not off the top of my head. That would be interesting for the fans to decide. I wonder if they [the producers] have done any outreach that way. Who would the fans like to see, or what they would like to see. I don’t feel like replacing that character is the most respectful way to go, because in my heart I love Whitney and her work and the time that we shared together. Her role and her presence was just so important. I have a hard time replacing someone else in her shoes. I guess they wouldn’t have to do that. We would have to just come up with a brand new friend.

You have portrayed some of history’s most prominent figures. Is there anyone else on your wish list?

I want to play some made up people now! [Laughs] I’m ready for some fiction…But I think there was a time when I was interested in playing Bessie Coleman, someone a lot of people don’t know of. She was the first African-American female aviator. But that was a period piece that never got off the ground. But fiction is in my future.

Check out the full interview over at Huff Post.
Angela is currently filming Black Nativity with Mary J.  Blige, Nas, Tyrese, and Jennifer Hudson. That film hits theaters in November.


Bangin Candy: Eddie Murphy's Daughter Bria Murphy
Ask any father what their greatest creation is, and they'll undoubtedly say their child or children. And while that is usually an opinion based on the biases of a proud parent, many will agree that aforementioned statement holds damn true for Eddie Murphy's daughter, Bria Murphy.
For a while, the oldest of the actor's five children with former spouse Nicole Mitchell was a sleeper amongst the up and coming beauties in Tinsel Town. She was most famous for being a spokeswoman for hair products company Dark and Lovely, but Murphy's stock recently rose after playing the leading lady in Wale's visual for "Bad."
At just 23-years-old, Murphy isn't your run of the mill video vixen. In other words, don't expect to see her bussin' it wide open next to your favorite rapper. Instead, she's opted to take a classier approach, having already done spreads with Maxim and Vibe magazines just to name a few.

And because Hip-Hop Wired loves everyone but struggle rappers, we provided a gallery of Bria Murphy's most flattering photos that you can see after the jump.


Judge Joe Brown Cancelled
“Judge Joe Brown,” the second highest-rated court show in television syndication after “Judge Judy,” has been canceled by CBS Television Distribution.
“We would like to thank Joe for 15 great years,” CTD said in a statement, “as well as executive producer John Terenzio and the entire staff for all their hard work and dedication to the show.”

The cancellation comes after negotiations on a new contract broke down, apparently over Brown’s salary. He reportedly has been making $20 million a year, but CTD was looking to trim his compensation in line with a decline in his ratings.
In the recent February sweeps, “Judge Brown” had a 2.5 household rating, down 17 percent from the prior February. He attracted an average of 3.4 million daily viewers, down from an average of 4.1 million last February. In the key demographic for a daytime show, which is women 25-54, Brown had a 1.1 rating, down 15 percent from a year earlier.

The most recent week for national ratings, reported Tuesday, had “Judge Brown” pulling a 2.1 household rating, down 16 percent from the prior week and 19 percent from the same week a year ago.
To be fair, all of the court shows have seen declines of as much as 20 percent this season — with the exception of “Judge Judy” who remains number one by a wide margin. She averaged a 7.5 household rating in February, about 10.5 million viewers a day.

“Judge Brown” has been second to “Judge Judy” in the ratings for the past 739 weeks, and both are distributed by CTD. But the decline in his ratings have hurt what they can charge for advertising, so CTD wanted to pare his salary, says sources.
“Judge Brown” plays on the Fox owned TV stations in many major markets and on stations owned by Sinclair, Lin and others. CTD had discussions with Fox about replacing “Judge Brown” with a new show that would be fronted by Indiana Judge Geoffrey Gaither, but Fox declined to make the swap.

At this point, “Judge Brown” is scheduled to run in original and repeat episodes on the Fox owned stations until September, when they will have the opportunity to reprogram his time periods.
“Judge Brown” may not be done yet. He has met with Byron Allen of Entertainment Studios about continuing his show. Allen’s Entertainment Studios has a line up of court shows that includes “America’s Court with Judge Ross,” “We The People With Gloria Allred” and “Justice for All with Judge Christna Perez.” Allen’s shows play in syndication first and then play on a company owned digital cable channel. However, it appears unlikely Entertainment Studios could pay as much as Brown has been getting under his CTD pact, according to a source.

“Judge Brown first” went on the air in 1998. Before that, he was a real life criminal courts judge in Shelby County, Tennessee. He started his career as a lawyer and was the first African American prosecutor in Memphis, Tennessee earlier in his career.
Brown won fame when as the real judge in Shelby County, Tennessee, he presided over the appeal of James Earl Ray, who murdered Martin Luther King Jr. Brown was later removed from that case over charges of bias but by then he had caught the eye of the same producers and distributors behind “Judge Judy.”

Both Judge Brown and Judge Judy are produced in the same Hollywood facility, with courtrooms adjacent to each other. Both are produced by Big Ticket Television, a division of CBS, and distributed by CBS’s CTD.
Brown wasn’t the first African American to be a TV judge but he has become the longest running.
