#TEAMEMPIRE: In Empire News: Kelly Rowland’s Role on ‘Empire’

There’s seems to be some confusion on Kelly Rowland’s role in Empire Wednesday night. It was told earlier this year that her role would be a ‘flash back’ as Lucious Lyon’s Mother.

Here’s what we weren’t told. She is mentally unstable just like his son Andre. This is why Andre despises Lucious. So that’s why she was acting a little ‘off’. Also in EMPIRE news, Fox's hit drama Empire slips in the ratings for the first time ever…

c

According to reports a respectable 13.7 million viewers tuned in for the second episode of Empire season 2, a 19% drop from last weeks season premier. DVR totals not included.

ALSO……. Who Is Empire’s Saucy Latina Becky G?

Say what you will about FOX’s Empire but the show’s high ratings has helped usher in the career for many potential stars.

If you checked out Wednesday’s night’s episode, you likely took notice to the cocksure young Latina woman who refused to be wedged in between a group at Hakeem Lyon’s behest. The character Valentina knew exactly knew the route to her would-be label boss’ heart (through the canals of his zipper, of course) and automatically became a series wild card after just a short time on the screen.

Empire may have introduced Becky G (short for Gomez) to a broader audience but the 18-year-old (cue your Kanye West “old enough” jokes) singer hailing from Inglewood, California has been grinding on the Internet with covers and originally penned songs since she started high school.

#R.H.o.A: Cynthia’s Hubby Peter Thomas is very Upset with R.H.o.A Producers!

Set secrets are spilling out from The Real Housewives of Atlanta and insiders say Peter Thomas is NOT happy about his and Cynthia's storyline this season…

Set sources tell Straight from the A Cynthia and Peter's real life crumbling marriage is the focus of their story line this season and Peter is not amused.

The insider also confirms Peter's alleged cheating was the cause for Cynthia and Porsha's fight last month.

Cynthia and Peter have both been spotted in recent weeks not wearing their wedding rings.

WTW? Was Young Thug Busted Watching Gay Porn?

Young Thug has raised plenty of eyebrows over the year with behavior some have labeled “suspect”. First there was the clip of him calling his mentor Birdman by the endearing nickname,”lover.” Then there was his recent admission that he shops for women’s clothes because they fit him better. And of course lyrics like these:

“I pull up in Bentleys with London, they all want to meet him
 / Yeah, they all wanna greet him 
/ They pull down they pants and they all wanna eat him, uh.”

Now, there’s a new “scandal” involving the rapper after someone posted a video of what they claim is his entourage watching gay porn. Several bloggers have accused Thug of watching the freaky flick too, but that accusation is inaccurate since Thugger does not appear in the video.

See the vid in question for yourself

Tamar Braxton speaks on: Many things and hints Her Son Being A Pre-School Drop Out?

Tamar Braxton stopped by The Wendy Williams Show and dished on DWTS, her new album and being a mother. Tamar opened up about her husband Vince and two-year old son Logan.

They are twins, they totally used me as a vessel. Now they’re two peas in a pod.

She added that Logan is also a pre-school dropout, When we travel, I like to take him with me. He missed so many days of school I said, ‘Child, come home with me.’ So he comes with me on set and we have somebody at the house to teach him.

Also Would Tamar have another baby? At first I was like, ‘Girl, no,’ but because I I grew up with a big family, I feel like he needs a playmate or something. When I asked him (Logan), true story, ‘Don’t you want a brother or sister?’ He’s like, “No, no, no, no!’ I feel like he knows what he’s talking about. He really likes it when it’s just the three of us. I don’t feel like being pregnant, at all, you know what I mean?”

Tamar also opened up about her new album, Calling All Lovers, and how it was inspired by her past relationships. I got a past, he (Vince) has one too. I feel like I’ve started to grow up in the past few years finally, so I feel like it’s about accepting and knowing your past. I’m in love and really happy but there’s a story behind Tamar. I didn’t just wake up one day and meet the love of my life. It didn’t happen like that, I kissed frogs and all the monsters and stuff. It was important to me to talk about it and honestly, I didn’t know that I had a lot to let go. It was The Young and the Restless, it really was, it really was.

OOPS! Glory Johnson Evicted from Brittney Griner’s Home

An Arizona judge has ordered WNBA player Glory Johnson to court to explain why she refuses to vacate the home she once shared with ex-“wife” WNBA star Brittney Griner.

The Oregon Community College gunman ordered students to stand up and state their religion before shooting, a witness told the local News-Review newspaper.

The 20-year-old gunman shot and killed 10 students and injured 20 others at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon.

The gunman who is now deceased exchanged gunfire with police before he was “neutralized.”

There is an unconfirmed report that the shooter posted his intentions on 4Chan message board on Wednesday.

“Some of you guys are alright. Don’t go to school tomorrow if you are in the northwest,” the anonymous poster wrote.

The shooting was confined to a single classroom in Snyder Hall. Fox News reports the gunman targeted the students in the classroom.

It has not been confirmed that the student was a student at the college.

National news media outlets swarmed the social media pages of Umpqua Community College students.
The 4Chan discussion is posted below.

Again, this 4Chan discussion is unconfirmed.

American Horror Story: Watch the creepy opening credits for Hotel

We’re only a week away from the highly anticipated premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel, the latest installment in the FX franchise created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. And with time ticking down, Murphy has released the opening credits for the show via his Twitter account.

WATCH HERE

This season is about a hotel filled with bloodsuckers, led by Lady Gaga’s The Countess, and, possibly, a serial killer who offs victims based on The Ten Commandments. Murphy has always said that the credits usually are filled with clues to what will happen this season and based on what past cycles, that seems to be the case for these Hotel images.

Taraji P. Henson Gets RED HOT For Rolling Out Magazine

Fab chick Taraji P. Henson is the cover girl for this week’s Rolling Out magazine issue. The No Good Deed actress got red hot in a two-piece Marissa Webb number paired with Marissa Webb black and gold metallic tipped pumps.

Before her new film (that she’s also executive producing) hits theaters, the upcoming “Empire” actress chopped it up with the magazine about defying all the odds and accomplishing what no other woman in her family has ever been able to do. She also dished on when she finally decided to get with her acting and the moment she realized she could actually make it Hollywood.

Here are the highlights:

On building her empire:

“Everything that I’ve worked for … I have built an empire in one generation. My son [Marcel] does not remember the bad times. I preach to him that he should protect it as well. I’ve done what my mother wasn’t able to do or her mother. That’s pretty huge. I emphasize him protecting it as well, with social media, [telling him to] be careful what you put out there. They are going to try to get to me through you,” she explains.

On when she started to take acting seriously: 

“My whole life, I performed in front of anybody who’d listen. I got serious about it when I saw my Howard University colleagues make it. I would attend the movies and ask, ‘Is that Paula Jai Parker?’ ‘Is that Anthony Anderson?’ I realized I could do this and really make money. Even though I studied it, it seemed so far removed and I wondered if I’d be a starving theater actress.”

“We have great people to look up to; alumnae Lynn Whitfield, Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad. I went into the program with a lot hope. It was when I saw my actual peers book jobs, I told myself, ‘I can do this!’ It’s when I got really serious about it.”

No Good Deed hits theaters a day after her 44th birthday, Sept. 12th.

Move over Drizzy Drake, Childish Gambino and Joe Budden! Soulful songbird Jhene Aiko reveals that she’s in a serious relationship with hip hop producer, Dot Da Genius.

As you may recall, Aiko was linked to Drake earlier this year, when reports surfaced that she was hooking-up with the rapper behind then-girlfriend Rihanna’s back. The claims went as far as alleging that the “Bed Peace” songstress was carrying his child.

On Wednesday, Septemeber 3, those rumors were silenced permanently when Aiko and her now rumored fiance Dot Da Genius stepped out into the Los Angeles streets, rocking what appeared to be matching engagement bands, reports Mstarz.

Although, the couple has not confirmed marriage rumors, fans are starting to speculate as to whether the free spirit jumped the broom with Genius in a private ceremony. Do you think Aiko and Genius tied the knot? Look below for more of the couple’s cute Instagram photos below

Diddy, Rick Ross, French Montana Dragged Down In Nasty Gucci Mane Drama

Music stars Kanye West, Diddy, Rick Ross and French Montana are catching heat over a new collaborative effort called “Gucci Mane.” According to reports, Atlanta rapper 9gotti has taken legal action over an alleged song-jacking.

According to Sohh: Chinga Chang Records claims the song belonged to 9gotti … before Yeezus and the others stole it from him. The record label sent a cease and desist letter that’s pretty comical … saying the ripoff may have been a “drunken oversight.” It also takes a shot at Diddy — accusing him of being a music thief — and says Rick Ross should know better because he’s an ex-correctional officer. According to the letter … French’s song and 9gotti’s tune are nearly identical. French’s version hasn’t been released yet … and Chinga Chang is dead-set on making sure it never comes out. (TMZ)

And now…I’m telling you slow news day. 

Right Diddy?

Gucci Mane Scores Huge Legal Win, Prison Sentence Cut By 1 Year

Gucci Mane is a happier prisoner today … after being told he’ll be leaving the big house 12 months earlier than expected.

According to TMZ: According to court docs … after initially ruling against Gucci, an Atlanta judge has finally given the rapper the year’s worth of credit for time served he’s earned since his arrest for gun possession last September.

His 39-month sentence was originally scheduled to begin August 2014 when the judge made his ruling … but now that sentence will begin at the time of his arrest.

The 34-year-old’s been in and out of prison most of his adult life … with prior stints for hitting a fan with a bottle and pushing a woman out of a moving car. He was even charged with murder in 2005 … but prosecutors ultimately dropped the case.

He’s scheduled to be released in December 2016. And when Gucci found out he was like, “Let’s celebrate.”

LOL!

Kimberly Smedley Queen of Butt Shots Released From Prison 

Kimberly Smedley was the talk of 2012 when she was faced a 3 year sentence for pleading guilty to performing illegal butt shots on the black market in seedy hotel rooms in several states. Several celebrities (including local Atlanta ones too) apparently were patients of the Butt Shot Queen. Her new book “Backside of the Story” is raising eyebrows across the nation as many are wondering if Smedley’s book (available on Amazon) includes personal info regarding their backside. Recently we did spot Kim in Atlanta with Nicci Gilbert. Hmmm it looks like they werewell, I can’t tell if Nicci was sizing up Kim’s Backside of the Story or what? Yall so messy! 

Today 10/9 Smedley will host a media “sip and blab SHOP” in Atlanta to tell reporters what they want to know and sell her book of course. All media is invited to join “Kim Smedley” at 1pm . Maybe Kim was giving Nicci her invite to the media brunch

Kim Smedley will have cocktails and “tea” and not the kind of tea that’s poured from a kettle. Sister to Sister magazine of course was able to get the exclusive. That Jamie Foster Brown always knows how to get these folks to “spill the beans”. Such a well rounded journalist that Jamie is. Oops no punt intended. Back up. Paparazzi cameras did catch Kim Smedley out in the park with Nicci Gilbert, you did read that correct above. (Hmmmm)what do you think they were talking about? Well you can ask Kimberly yourself on Tuesday at Paparazzi in the Perimeter Mall (next to Victoria’s secret) from 1-3 and she will be there with the scoop.

We hope! But maybe I should take the Kermit the Frog approach on this one. Do I want to know who’s butt is fake and who’s not? I may never be able to look at some of my bookcoverfavorite people the same again. Again…None of my business. But then again I am a blogger. It’s my duty to find out who was inflating those booties and why?? Why are women so obsessed and begging Kimberly Smedley for butt injections? Why was she willing to perform the procedures and risk going to prison? Who told? Who died? Who’s got butt shots in the ATL? I have so many questions? Ok, Was it any Love and Hip Hop Stars? Rappers? Smedley I need you to call me. I’m not Kermit and I must know 1st, well 2nd. Hey maybe Jamie Brown will give me a little info. Hey maybe I should just go and pick up the September Issue of Sister to Sister Magazine since the full story in in there.

Ray Rice Cut By The Ravens, Suspended By NFL

Ray Rice has been cut by the Baltimore Ravens and indefinitely suspended by the NFL … and it’s all over the knockout fight night video.

Reports TMZ: The team just announced it has terminated Rice’s contract this afternoon … hours after TMZ Sports posted the footage of the Pro Bowl running back attacking Janay Palmer in an elevator back in February.

Rice was in the middle of a 5-year $50 million contract he signed with the Ravens back in 2012.

The NFL had previously suspended Rice 2 games for the incident — but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell later admitted he screwed up in punishing Rice too lightly … and instituted harsher punishments — a 6 game suspension for first time NFL domestic violence offenders.

But ironically Goodell violated his own new policy with an indefinite suspension … which makes the NFL sound like an organization out of control and ducking for cover.
