The Daily Buzz For July 28



Khloe Shows Off Her ASSets for ‘Complex’
There’s Khloe Kardashian’s a**!
It may look like she’s posing for King or Smooth mag, but nope, it’s actually Complex that got KK’s cake by the pound. The reality TV beauty has been working on her fitness for quite sometime and has been showing off her fit physique on Instagram. Now, she’s taken it up a notch a plastered that fatty on the front of a magazine.

But, it’s not just her body that’s on display. Khlo-money let the mag invade her mental for a minute, too. In the interview, Kardashian opened up about her relationship with French Montana and she admitted she may have used him for a distraction.

What’s your relationship like with French Montana now?

We haven’t dated in a few months. I’m friends with him. I talked to him recently because his best friend was just murdered. He’s a great guy, super funny, a sweetheart.
Would you consider him a rebound?

I don’t know if I believe in rebounds, unless you just sleep with someone for a night or two. They’re just people you can laugh and have a good time with. My life is so serious, or always moving so fast, it’s fun to have that outlet to enjoy and let your hair down and not worry about things.

And you guys seem to be cool even if you’re not together.

When you f*ck someone, why would you not…. Like, if someone has seen my vagina, I think it’s OK that I say hi and give him a hug hello.

Do you think you weren’t ready to be in a relationship yet?

For sure. I don’t think I was ready at all to have a serious relationship at the time. I needed time on my own to digest everything that’s happened. I went from Lamar to just distracting myself. Not to discredit French at all. I was very honest with French about that—I feel bad. I don’t think it’s fair for me to lead somebody on, or for me to act like I’m in this perfect headspace if I’m not. With love you don’t mislead or play around, so if you’re not perfectly clear, just be honest about it.

The now divorcée also opened up about her marriage to Lamar Odom. At the time of the interview the divorce had not been finalized.

What’s your relationship with Lamar like?

I talked to Lamar this morning. I talk to Lamar as often as I can, which is inconsistent, but not on my terms. When you genuinely feel like that was the right relationship, you’re supposed to give it all you can. That’s what marriage is about. It’s not, “Let’s see if it works, if not we always have divorce.” I am not one of those girls. You took a vow before God and you’re supposed to abide by that. I’m not rushing into my divorce because I’m not looking to get married tomorrow, so I don’t have a deadline. I’m not rushing it. So when it’s time and it’s supposed to happen, it will.

Lamar is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever met, and everyone says that when they meet him. I think Lamar’s gonna always be that person [for me] but that’s what made it so special. Even if I had it for five years or whatever, it was the best ever and I’m grateful I did. Some people don’t get that ever and I had that magic for a long time.
Do you miss it now?

Yeah. Every day? Oh my god, I miss him every day. I miss what we had—things we got to do together are just memories. I like looking back and holding on to that stuff. I definitely miss it, and there’s times I’ll get so sentimental and so sad, but this had to happen for some reason. I’ll figure it out over time, someone will give me that answer eventually. I think it would be very fucking weird if I didn’t miss it.

Oh, and speaking on relationships, Khloe as opened up about Kylie dating Tyga. Apparently, the youngest Kardashian sister thinks we have to treat their relationship as a “special case”.

Do you feel that the criticisms of Kylie and Tyga’s relationship are fair?

I think at 16 I was probably f*cking someone that was in their 20s, for sure. I wouldn’t say I was even dating, probably just sleeping with them. But again Kylie is not a normal 17-year-old. You’re not gonna say, “Hey, so what are you doing this weekend?” and have her say, “Having a slumber party at my girlfriend’s,” or “Going to prom.” That’s not what Kylie does. Kylie is taking business meetings and bought her first house, or she’s going on a private plane with Karl Lagerfeld to take a meeting. That’s not even what people do in their 30s. It’s a rare circumstance, so let’s treat this as a special case.

Check out the full interview where Khloe also talks about Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West and more, at Complex.com.


R&B Divas Atlanta CANCELED because of a WHITE production Crew filming it?
Isn’t this interesting! According to Funky Dineva he knows why R&B Diva: Atlanta was cancelled. According to Dineva, the show will not be returning because executives didn’t want a white production company producing the show.

Dineva said he got the tea from a TVOne exec he was hunching:
I was minding my own business, watching season 2 of Hollywood Divas. When the show went off, Think Factory Media popped up in the credits as one of the producing companies alongside Kindgom Reign and Todd Tucker Productions. I was confused as a a Chinese speaking puppy in America. I had to call the dude I was screwing at TvOne back for a second glass of tea. This time around, he was a little more reluctant to give me the low down.

I guess I’ll have to give him a re-up of this loving. Anyway, apparently there was a lawsuit filed against TvOne by the creators and producers of R&B Divas citing that Hollywood Divas is an obvious spin-off of R&B Divas and that TvOne was trying to cut the original creators and producers out of the deal. One way or another, the suit was settled, and Think Factory now has their name plastered on season 2 of Hollywood Divas. If you noticed, it was nowhere to be found season one. I’m sure Think Factory Media is getting a piece of the Hollywood Divas coin as well. Eww chile, why do I know everyone’s business?

HMMMMMMM Well stay tuned and see what TV One will officially say!


FANTASIA on her HONEYMOON!
The wedding bells have rung, the bouquet tossed, and the cake cut – now it’s time for the honeymoon.
Newlyweds Fantasia Barrino and Kendall Taylor jetted off to Puerto Rico for a romantic getaway after marrying just over a week ago on a luxury yacht.
The couple appeared smitten on their island honeymoon as they shared drinks by the pool, explored the local town hand-in-hand and cuddled in the pristine blue ocean
After the ceremony last Sunday on a yacht off North Carolina, the American Idol winner and her businessman beau headed south for the Puerto Rico.
The Caribbean island was a fitting destination for the couple as Fantasia mentioned in an Instagram post from her wedding: 'Those who really know me know that I LOVE Water..’
And the couple made sure to spend plenty of time in the crystalline blue Caribbean.

The 31-year-old singer wore a black and white one-piece swimsuit as she and her man went for a dip in each other’s arms.
With four buttons running down the middle, the swimsuit plunged low and showed off Fantasia’s famous curves.
Fantasia wrapped her arms around her brand new hubbie as the couple dipped down to their shoulders.
And after experiencing the real thing, the newlyweds retreated to their luxury hotel and tested the waters in the pool.
Awwwww, Wishing her the BEST!


OOPS! Samira Wiley Snubs Raven-Symoné
Orange is the New Black star Samira Wiley snubs actress Raven-Symoné after Raven tries to horn in on Samira's dinner date…

According to NY Confidential: “Samira was sitting at the bar not far from the entrance and Raven, who showed up with no reservation, saw her and tried to make friends with her group," says our spy. “Raven had been talking to the hostess, who had no table for her, so she tried to sit with Samira. Raven just couldn’t get a table.”

Our amused spywitness says that Raven tried for some time to “befriend” Wiley, saying, “We should all sit together,” before Wiley shut her down, gesturing to the hostess to seat Raven and her group elsewhere.
“When the reservationist tried to move things around to seat them next to each other, Samira shook her head and made a ‘no’ motion that was very clear to the hostess. Raven didn’t sit with her or get a table,” says our source. “She left with her three friends without eating.”

AGAIN, OOPS!

Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away last night six months after she was found submerged in her bathtub and now her death is now being treated as a homicide…

Keanu Reeves Dating Trans-Gender Actress Jamie Clayton.

Sounds like this romance is off to a speedy start! Keanu Reeves was recently spotted getting cozy in front of a restaurant with a transgender actress.
Hollywood hunk Keanu Reeves is wining and dining transgender actress Jamie Clayton, sources confirm to Star.
"They're definitely smitten," says an eyewitness who spotted the two dining at the Chateau Marmont on July 16.

WATCH:

Keanu and Jamie first met on set in Europe while filming The Neon Demon, a thriller about the dark side of modeling.
"Jamie was acting all giddy on the way out of the restaurant when Keanu wrapped his arm around her lower back," the bystander reveals, "and then he went in for a kiss!"
The cozy costars hugged and kissed good-bye once more before Jamie, 37, walked the motorcycle enthusiast over to his bike. "The fact that Jamie's transgender doesn't mean a thing," says a pal of the 50-year-old actor. "Keanu likes her and respects her no matter what."


HUH???? Birdman takes Pic With Guy In Shower [Photos]
Birdman needs positive press just like Lil Wayne needs to get off Cash Money but a post onto social media is doing him no favors.
The embattled music mogul actually tweeted-and deleted a rather peculiar photo of himself posing with a kid who looks no older than seventeen-years-old. To put a twist on the strange scenario, the boy is wearing nothing but a towel, matted hair and smile.
As a matter of fact, we don’t even have to say anything else until Birdman fully explains himself. So many questions.

LMBO!!

Achievements:
#1 Online Transformation Coach-
Personal Trainer of the year-World Physique Magazine

How did you get started in bodybuilding/fitness?
I have always been active in some shape or form since a child. At a young age I earned my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, then for many years I played football up until my late teenage years. I had been lifting since about the age of 15 but for sports and not for aesthetics. At the age of about 19 or so I began to compete as a fitness model as I am constantly looking to challenge myself and body.
What is your favorite body part to train?
My favorite body part to train is my whole body. I absolutely lovedoing full body exercises. You will burn much more calories doing a clean and jerk, snatch pull, deadlift, or squat then you ever will doing a bicep curl. Also I love doing bodyweight exercises. The thing about bodyweight exercises is that you can’t cheat your own bodyweight. Sure you can bench press more weight then you can handle and use your lower back, but if your doing a weighted pushup either you can do it or you cant. That is real strength.

DAMITA, Ex-Wife of Preacher’s of LA Star DEITRICK HADDON Breaks Silence on Affairs in Their Marriage – Says Deitrick Did Not Tell The Whole Truth
WOW While reading Path MEGAzine I came across this. I already k ew about The Deitrick Haaddon messbefore as I as reported it here in The Chronicles. But recently Damita spoke to the folks at Path and gave them an interview. There were very few stories that shook the Christian community like the love triangle involving Gospel artists Deitrick Haddon, Damita, and Isaac Carree. Through it all Damita Remained silent for over two years while going through the divorce process and continued to stay silent far beyond that. Ridiculed by ex-husband Deitrick Haddon on social media, the singer hit rock bottom when all the drama took place closely after her mother’s death.

According to Path MEGAzine she spoke to them and told them what really happened during her 15 year relationship with the singer, actor and “Preachers of LA” reality TV star Deitrick Haddon.

Deitrick Haddon and Damita were both Co-Pastoring a church in Detroit when their lives would irrevocably be shifted by the scandal. Damita tells Path MEGAzine publisher Kris Patrick that half truths and inconsistencies in Deitrick’s statements wounded the ‘No looking back’ singer during the time she took the stones casted at her.
In the descriptive conversation Damita starts out by saying, “Truth with deception is not a whole truth.” In response to Deitrick’s public statement on social media Damita says, “It should have been handled behind closed doors.”

Damita stopped short of admitting or denying that she cheated, but she did give us a window into who did what. “If two people’s hands are dirty it behoves you not to throw stones.”

Elaborating, she goes on. “Honestly I think that he (Deitrick) had gotten himself in a situation, and he didn’t know how to get out of it, so the only thing he could do was play a blame game.”

Deitrick has admitted openly on his TV show that he did have a baby out of wedlock, but insists the relationship began after parting with Damita.

The bombshell in the interview came when Path MEGAzine publisher Kris Patrick asked Damita if her relationship was over with Deitrick Haddon before he courted his new girl (now wife) Dominique Mctyer, eventually getting her pregnant. Damita was adamant that the timeline he shared with the world didn’t match up.
Damita insists that any issues that they had were reconciled after her Mom had passed in 2011. Under the impression that their problems had been reconciled in June of that year, Damita discloses that Deitrick left her two days after she buried her mom, only to find out in December of 2011 that someone was pregnant. Damita wasn’t surprised when hearing about the baby, saying her intuition told her that someone was pregnant after Deitrick abruptly left her and his church behind.

Damita described the two years of accusations and shame on social media as ‘hell.’ Hell that got a little hotter for her when she found out that Deitrick was having a baby. The singer shared that she had been pregnant multiple times by her ex-husband, but lost the babies and almost died during one of the pregnancies. Damita emotionally voiced, “That was the nail in the coffin.”

When asked could the marriage have been saved Damita says, “absolutely.”
After Deitrick stepped down from the church, Damita would run it solo for a brief stint before being inclined to step down. Damita left Detroit and moved to Atlanta, and Deitrick headed west to Los Angeles.

Expressing concern, Damita says that the church flock they were Pastoring were told by Deitrick that the reason for the break up was not because of infidelity. The singer points to these inconsistencies as the church would later read Deitrick’s claim of infidelity in a dear John later placed on Facebook. Damita insists that Deitrick was looking for a clean exit, and publicly invented controversy between the estranged couple that she maintains had been resolved.

Damita says that this is not to slight him saying, “She still chooses to use discretion when talking about the matter.” Even while coming out to Path MEGAzine she says, “There are just some things she chooses not to reveal about her marriage with Deitrick.”

Later in the tell all interview Damita was asked what she thought about Deitrick Haddon’s role on the hit show “Preachers of LA?” “I really don’t feel anyway about the show.” “I only watched like two episodes, and outside of that I didn’t watch it.” “My attorneys watched it just to make sure we didn’t need to address anything.” The newlywed said shortly after that, “TV never is full reality.” “They make up stuff to make it juicy and get them ratings.”
Later in the exclusive, Damita spoke in depth for the first time about her new husband photographer Reuben Chandler. Detailing how they met 13 years ago only to re-unite when the two were both getting over divorces. After a romantic courting phase, Damita said her and Reuben put all their cards on the table and talked about everything. She was reassured that this was not a rebound relationship, and shortly after Reuben would ask Damita’s father for her hand in marriage. Donnie McClurkin would marry the couple. The singer said Pastor McClurkin had been a long time family friend who graciously married the couple in a small intimate ceremony.

Damita explains that she’s a much smarter, wiser and loving woman today. She knows how to treat her new husband that’s in her life, and knows how to watch out for the warning signs.

WATCH:

After taking a hiatus from Gospel, Damita is back in the studio working with top producers. She intends on releasing a new CD soon, and is considering recording it LIVE. So much more was said in the 30 minute interview included in this article, but one things for sure Damita is not looking back.

BUT WAIT For some stupid reason to keep the drama moving. Detrick’s current wife Dominique decided to address it on Instragram here is what she said.
Some people will never own their mistakes and grow from them! I’ve learned a lot from all of mine and I’m mature enough to see my wrongs and have corrected them as best as I can! This doesn’t make me better than anyone in any way, however, it does give me liberation & peace in knowing that I’m forgiven and I no longer live in that space! Furthermore, continuing to talk about an issue from the past robs you from living in your present! #thinkaboutit
Anyone who’s still talking about past events is as irrelevant as the event! Find something new to talk about! #yesYOU

But who is talking to or about you???? Dominque


Sports stars and their Mates all attend Attend Former NFL Player Adewale Ogunleye & Dr. Amira Baker’s Wedding In D.C.
Former NFL star Adewale "Wale" Ogunleye, who played 11 seasons in the NFL, and his fiancée Dr. Amira Baker tied the knot over the weekend in a lavish traditional Nigerian ceremony inside the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. Wedding guests were requested to dress in Black Tie or traditional African attire for the special occasion.

Seems Wale lucked up on brains and beauty. The Nigerian born football player’s wife is the youngest dental graduate of Howard University and currently practices at Beautiful Smiles in Miami. She is the go-to dentist for many professional athletes and celebrities.
The posh wedding ceremony, followed by an adult-only reception, bought out “Being Mary Jane” actress Gabrielle Union, Miami Heat baller Dwayne Wade, NY Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire and his wife Alexis, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Ositadimma "Osi" Umenyiora, ET Correspondent Rocsi Diaz and former Chicago Bears DT Anthony "Spice" Adams.
Over the years, the former Dolphins/Bears defensive end has been romantically linked to actress Sanaa Lathan, singer Kelis and former Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams. Michelle and Wale were possibly just good friends because the "Say Yes" singer was also in attendance at the wedding. Hmm….

Gabby & DWade were black-tie ready (minus Wade's sneakers) to witness the happy couple say their "I Do's."
Amar’e Stoudemire was dapper in an all black suit alongside his wife Alexis in a beautiful floral print dress.
And then he snapped a pic with the groom wishing him many blessings saying, “Beautiful Wedding !! Prince Adewale Ogunleya {Wale}. Congrats beloved, Peace and Love to the family. #OgWedding”
 “Fashion Kings” Dwayne Wade and Amar’e Stoudemire got their “GQ” on in a pic. DWade captioned, “Ran into the homie @amareisreal at #OGwedding #2FashionKings” Wade's “fashion” can be a hit-or-miss at times.
The bride made a few wardrobe changes and in between she posed it up with Alexis and one of her bridesmaids.
Alexis looked nice.
Michelle Williams looked gorge in an African-inspired maxi dress by Melange Mode.
Amar'e and the guys were goofing off during the reception.
Hey Rocsi!
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle and now Internet sensation Anthony "Spice" Adams came dressed for the occasion in his African attire.
And Gabby posted some fun pics from the wedding.
Nice and Congratulations!


Young Joc’s Wife Files For Divorce
All for the coins, Young Joc who is married to his high school sweetheart Alexandria Robinson are heading for divorce, she got tired of seeing Joc flaunt his relationship with Karlie Redd and others on television. So she decided to pull the plug.

They’ve been married for 13 years ? They have 3 kids also, Joc’s been carrying on a high profile relationship with Karlie Redd on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.” They live together on the show. All of this just to have shine… This spot on L&HH was not going to help him sell more albums or take us back to 2006-2007.


Kerry Washington’s Bulimia: Losing Baby Weight Triggers Eating Disorder?
Kerry Washington is probably one of the tiniest women on television. Even while pregnant the actress was itty bitty with a basketball sized bump. Throughout the majority of her pregnancy Kerry kept plugging, filming her hit show Scandal, but the powers-that-be decided to cut season three a few episodes short in order to accommodate her due date. It’s the kind of grace that is rarely extended in Hollywood and Kerry knows it so she feels an extra bit of gratitude to the show.When Kerry turned up on the red carpet in late June at the BET Awards she looked like she had never been pregnant let alone the fact that her daughter was only 8 weeks old. When asked how she dropped 30 pounds so fast Kerry pointed out that she had to because she needs to return to the set of Scandal soon. According to the July 21st print edition of The National Enquirer Kerry’s closest friends are worried about what measures she may have taken to get back into shape.  The actress was thought to have beaten bulimia back in college but there are fears that the stress of a new baby combined with the pressure of work could have caused her to slip back into her old ways.

Often times with your first child the weight does kind of fall off. Do you think that Kerry has just gotten very lucky or do you think that she has resorted to some drastic ways to get rid of those extra pounds? Has the stress of her life caused Kerry to control the one thing that she absolutely can, her weight?


Meek Mill Scores 750k Legal Victory, Despite Being Locked Up in Jail
Meek Mill (real name Robert Williams) is currently locked up for the next 4-6 months  (or 3 weeks, depending on who you ask) for violating his probation, but the rapper scored a legal victory against a Philadelphia Police officer with the 750k lawsuit filed against him being dismissed.

The 27-year-old Maybach Music Group artist was sued earlier this year by Officer Boyer, who was one of the police officers who arrested the rapper back in 2012 for allegedly having marijuana on him. However, the arresting officer came up with nothing during the arrest and Meek later sued for false imprisonment. The rapper lost the case but that didn’t stop the officer from suing Meek for allegedly defaming him on social media.

Officer Boyer claimed that Meek damaged his reputation and character, which made it hard to find a new job after he was fired for non-Meek related issues with the department. He also claimed that the situation had a strong affect on his life and sexual relationship with his fiancee. He sued the rapper for 750k in damages.

According to theJasmineBRAND.com they have exclusively learned that the federal court judge SHOT DOWN the officer before Meek could even file his response. In the court order it states that the officer sued the rapper under the wrong legal statues  and since Meek isn’t a government official, none of the charges apply for which he is suing. He also failed to properly explain himself in the docs since he didn’t hire a lawyer to represent him. The judge dismissed the case on June 16th and the officer was awarded nothing from Meek. Read the EXCLUSIVE Court Documents.

Adrienne Bailon  sang his praise during the movie and confirmed that it felt very authentic.  Watch what she says here: Adrienne Bailon “In Love With a Church Girl” VIDEO

Ja Rule says:
“It was a different kind of crowd, I got saved at that church…and it just gave me a good feeling.”

He said he then started to become friends with the pastor of the ministry, Pastor Carl Lentz. Ja Rule told the radio host that after accepting Jesus as his Savior he was afraid of giving his life to God because of where he is in his life. Ja Rule explained that Lentz advised him to “‘Take baby steps,’” and “‘walk in your path.’”

The radio host then asked the Queens native what he thought about rapper Mase who is also a pastor and had a congregation but continued to rap about the stuff he use to rap about.
Ja Rule blurted out, “I’m confused, he’s confusing me… I don’t know how to take it because… Is that allowed?” Though he said, “I’m not the authority to speak on these situations.It don’t feel right and I don’t know if that’s excepted with the church.

The Grammy nominated rapper then discussed a sermon he saw online of Pastor Mase. “It’s the funniest…, he said, “He’s talking about how he came back into this industry cause he wanted to test himself… It was crazy but they sucked it up and they was clapping.”
“I’m very confused by what Mase is doing,” he admitted, “I don’t know if that’s cool or not. I wouldn’t play with the Lord like that, that’s why I had a talk with Carl [Lentz] and let him know like listen I took this walk but I’m not ready to go all the way, I’m still making rap music.”

Ja Rule ended his conversation by saying,””I ‘m taking baby steps and I wanna get closer to God I think it’s something you should do in life.. I feel you should have you’re one on one with God and I get the whole church thing.”


Angie Stone: ‘I QUIT R&B DIVAS ATLANTA’!
The drama continues to unfold, off camera on R&B Divas Atlanta. If you watched the reunion show, you’re well aware that cast member Angie Stone walked during the reunion show.

After returning to set momentarily she told Wendy Williams and TV One that this was the last season for her. While many speculated as to whether or not she’d change her mind and return for another season, it seems that this may be the end of the road for the soulful singer. Angie’s rep told Rumor Fix:
"[Angie Stone] walked away from the reality TV show R&B Divas: Atlanta due to the lack of "
professionalism on behalf of production crew and she did not want to associate herself with that type of behavior and tricks of the trade. She was to be the voice of reason brought on under false pretenses and after speaking and consulting with pastor and church, it was not something she choose to allow in her life.

Reportedly, she will be managed by Waka Flocka’s mother, Debra Antney (That’s a joke in itself). It’s also been reported that Ashanti allegedly had an inappropriate (intimate) relationship with a woman that works for TV One’s production team — the same team that works on R&B Divas Atlanta. To this rumor, Angie’s rep says
"crossing the line of professionalism … Pursuing a man who is in a committed relationship is disturbing on a multitude of levels."
The rep added
"Stone has been in this business for some 30 plus years, and will not allow anyone to attempt to tarnish her career or reputation, bottom line."
Good Luck Mahogany Soul!
