“Fifty Shades Of Grey” Drops Promo Poster
It’s going to be a long, cold winter as we eagerly await the arrival of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and thankfully there’s a new promotional poster to build the buzz.
In the new artwork, Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele seems a bit frisky as she bites her lip and waits for the action to get started!
Dakota stars opposite Jamie Dornan, who play Christian Grey- a billionaire businessman who exercises control in everything, including his bedroom antics.
“Fifty Shades of Grey” is slated to hit theaters on February 13th, 2015 and there will be a new full trailer during Thursday’s episode of “Scandal.”
Niecy Nash Gives Advice On Oral Sex & Keeping A Man In PLAYBOY Magazine
She's the author of the relationship book It's Hard To Fight Naked, the star of TVLand's "Soul Man", and also the star of HBO's "Getting On". But the 44-year-old married star isn't just talented on screen.
In her new interview with Playboy magazine, Niecy's dishing up what it takes to keep a man happy -- a drained penis and a stomach full of food.
What I say in the book is, "A BJ a day keeps the divorce attorney away" and I say that because I feel like men are profoundly simplistic, which is the reason I wanted to call my book what I used as the title of chapter three, which is, "Stomach Full, Penis Empty: A Woman's Guide to a Happy Marriage." Keeping him fed and drained, you have no problem. We are really more complicated than they are and I think that women are more generous with oral sex because we nurture by nature. We want to be pleasing by nature, that's in our DNA, so I think that a lot of the behavior we're looking for sexually, you might have to educate your partner. Sometimes, men just assume they're going to get it and you need to be like, "Give me mine. Ladies first."
She continued about the importance of communicating sexual needs, likes and wants to keep a relationship in order. And she also revealed how her hysterectomy changed her sex life for the better:
What's so interesting is that [women are] more willing to have conversations about "Do you want to get married? Where do you see this relationship going? Do you want to have children?" than we are to ask, "What kind of sex do you like? What are you into there?" You know what I mean? And that's a conversation that a lot of people dive into but if you're going to be with someone for the rest of your life and they're failing to meet your sexual needs is like doing a slow dance with death. We need to make sure we can meet right there in the middle. The best thing that could have ever happened to me, and I was so fearful when I did it, was I got my tubes tied and had a hysterectomy. It gives me and my husband a different liberty — we can do what we do anytime, anywhere, at a moment's notice. So that's a sidebar into my situation, but I can get the party started.
Well...

Rihanna Stalker Compared to John Lennon’s Murderer
Rihanna has taken care of her problems with a crazy stalker. A New York judge recently granted pop music’s bad girl a restraining order against 54-year-old Kevin McGlynn. McGlynn, the stalker, was described as “a ticking time bomb who is wholly fixated on [Rihanna]“. See what else the judge had to say!
McGlynn was first picked up in September, and sent to psychiatric hospital because it was declared that he was unfit to stand trial on previous stalking charges. Crazy!

Nice.
And here's what a few of our faves--Lupita, Shonda, Mindy & Robin--had to say backstage when asked to share some inspirational words they live by:

John Legend Snaps Back At Piers Morgan Over Use Of The N-Word
John Legend and Former CNN host Piers Morgan penned an essay for The Daily Mail, where he debated against the use of the n-word. In his opinion, based on the essay below,
N****r.
A 6-letter noun in the English language which the dictionary defines as ‘a contemptuous term for a black or dark-skinned person’.
It’s such an inflammatory and offensive word that for any high profile white person to publicly use it, without abbreviating to ‘N-word’, is rightly tantamount to professional suicide and personal opprobrium.
I don’t use it; would never use it. But it has become astonishingly ubiquitous in modern American society.
By comparison, the words ‘bro’ and ‘dude’ are only used 300,000 and 200,000 times per day.
These shocking statistics form part of a powerful study in today’s Washington Post.
Headlined ‘THE N-WORD’ – even the Post shies away from actually saying it – it concludes: ‘The slur has become more prevalent in American life, but remains as divisive and complicated as ever.’
The reason it is so ingrained in pop culture is that many blacks, especially young blacks reared to the soundtrack of N-word splattered rap music, use it in an ironic way.
They’re aware of its history; they know from their parents and grandparents that arrogant, dumb, racist whites used it as a wicked, derogatory insult against their black slave forebears. And they enjoy the freedom of being able to say it now in the knowledge that it’s become taboo for whites to do so.
I understand this, and empathise.
It’s the same ironic reason many gays call each other ‘f****ts’, why supporters of an English football team called Tottenham Hotspur, which has a large Jewish following, call each other ‘Y*ds’, and why some ardent feminists like to use the word ‘C**t’ with impunity.
I get it.
But I don’t like it.
And this is why: it doesn’t work. It has the complete opposite effect to the one that I imagine everyone who does this imagines it will have.
Far from ‘owning’ these words, seizing back control with the use of them, I believe it merely serves to empower those who wish to deploy them abusively - and encourage them to continue doing so.
Your average dim-witted, foul-mouthed bigot – and there are plenty of them as Twitter can attest – thinks: ‘If they use it, why can’t I?’
They hear African-Americans say the N-word to each other and claim victory: ‘See, that’s what they even call themselves!’
It’s the twisted, horrible mind-set of the wretchedly ignorant.
I debated this issue many times during my tenure at CNN.
Mike Tyson spoke to Piers about his prolific use of the word in his autobiographical stage show and said he plans to keep using it
Mike Tyson spoke to Piers about his prolific use of the word in his autobiographical stage show and said he plans to keep using it
Mike Tyson, who uses the N-word a lot in his excellent autobiographical stage show – insisted: ‘We have to think about how this word originated, where it came from. Just because we stop saying it won’t stop them (white racists) from saying it. They’re mad because they say it’s a double standard if they can’t say what we say amongst each other? I don’t plan on stopping saying it anytime soon.’
I don’t think it’s a double standard at all.
The N-word is a grotesque, odious, evil stain on the English language. It symbolises everything multi-cultural America has fought so hard to move on from - white-run, imperialist, violent, sexually malevolent barbarism.
Yet far from receding in society, it’s spreading; out of the once clearly defined confines of private usage in the black community, into the public hallways of every school in America.
This has to be wrong, doesn't it?
Better, surely, to have it expunged completely. Eradicated, obliterated, tied to a literary post and whipped into such brutal submission that it never rears its vicious head again.
But this will only happen when America’s black community applies the same level of tolerance to its own use of the word as that now applied in the National Football League: zero.
Teach the youth of today the N-word is so heinous that even to repeat it ironically is to perpetuate its poison.
As a white man, I have no right to demand that any black person gives up using the N-word.
But as someone who believes passionately in civil rights, I just think it’s the right thing to do
Morgan’s comments hit a nerve with John Legend, who exchanged some nice nasty remarks with the British journalist that sparked a little twitter beef. Read between the tweets below…

LHHH Star Morgan Hardman Refuses Treatment For Fear of Ebola Infection
Morgan Hardman hurts her hand during the taping of the #LHHHReunion and refused to get it treated in NY due to her fear of contracting Ebola!
Check out the details below!
Just when we thought things couldn’t get any weirder with the cast of “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood”…they did! Cast member Morgan Hardman, singer Ray J’s ex-assistant, injured her hand during the taping of the reunion show this week. It seems that the former assistant got into a scuffle with Ray J’s latest piece, Miss Princess Love, and decided to “treat” her own injury as opposed to visiting an NY hospital.
Morgan was spotted arriving at LAX, while showing off an awkward looking bandaged hand to paparazzi. The reality star said that she wanted to put off treatment until she arrived in LA, for fear of contracting Ebola while in NY. Morgan claims however, that her injury was a result of her punching a wall in a fit of rage after the fight, and not inflicted by Princess Love. Sadly, there have also been reports of Ray J putting his hands on his estranged assistant.
Looks like Morgan needs to stay far away from Ray J and his “Princess.” What are your thoughts?
