Some REAL R&B DIVAS ISH! Cheryl Lynn VS Anita Baker on TWITTER!



Some REAL R&B DIVAS ISH Cheryl Lynn VS Anita Baker via TWITTER!
Now you know this is a dag on shame! "Got To Be Real" legend Cheryl Lynn came for her frenemy Anita Baker....and she blasted her former friend in front of the whole Twittersphere.

First Anita got into it with Jill Scott sometime ago and now according to Cheryl, Anita has been acting brand new with her after decades of friendship.  And the nail in the coffin is when Anita BLOCKED her on Twitter.
Anita -- who likely didn't see any of Cheryl's tweets since she's BLOCKED and all must have gotten the gist from a friend.  She responded this morning saying:

Y’all old gals need to stop this beefing and give us some music.

BREAKING: Former R&B Diva Nicci Gilbert SUES TVOne Over New Spinoff!



BREAKING NEWS: Nicci Gilbert SUES TVOne Over New Spinoff!
In a recent lawsuit filed in Fulton County in Georgia, Nichole (Nicci) L. Gilbert and NOEGO Entertainment, LLC are suing ThinkFactory Media, Inc and TVOne LLC over the Divas franchise.
Nicci, who starred in and Executive Produced the first 2 seasons of "R&B Divas" in Atlanta, claims she and former co-star/Executive Producer Faith Evans are being left out of the new TVOne spinoff "Hollywood Divas", airing on TvOne soon.  And she's not having it!

Interestingly, neither Nicci or Faith returned for season 3, which is currently airing.  But now that "Hollywood Divas" has been announced, Nicci is PISSED.

The former Brownstone singer is filing on 15 counts (yes, 15!), including breach of contract, defamation, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation, emotional distress, breach of contract and plenty more.  And she wants to collect punitive damages and attorney's fees.

But that's not all. Nicci claims, via a rep, that the bigger picture is the 'white male production companies' impacting the image of black women on tv:

A discussion is needed NOW to address the images of African American Women that white male production company’s are portraying on Reality TV and changing things in the editing room . They can’t be allowed to continue to destroy Brands & families & friends!
We checked, and three of the seven Executive producers (not counting Faith or Nicci), are black men.  The showrunners of the last couple seasons of "R&B Divas" are black.  And we're told the crew is mostly comprised of black workers.   We're also told that TVOne has final sign off on all content, not the production company.

We have a feeling Nicci's going to come with some receipts though, so we shall see...

Kameelah Williams of 702 Just might be your next R&B DIVA!


CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! 


Tea Sips: FORMER 702 Singer Kameelah "Meelah" Williams HAS NOT joined "R&B Divas: Atlanta"... Yet!
The Atlanta rumor mill has been buzzing about a new addition to the "sanging" chicks of "R&B Divas: Atlanta".  We've heard that Kameelah Williams, who rose to fame in the 90s as part of the group 702 ("Get It Together", "Steelo") will be joining the cast for season three. 
For those who aren't too familiar with Kameelah and her personal life, she has a son with Musiq Soulchild and has been working on solo project in Atlanta, which may included a few tracks with Stevie J. And back in the day, Faith Evans once served as her mentor, with Kameelah singing on Faith's "Burning Up" single and appearing in the video.

We reached out to a source on the "R&B Divas: Atlanta" production team who told us, "There have been no additional cast members added to "R&B Divas: Atlanta".  Meanwhile, Kameelah's manager told us that they could neither deny nor confirm her casting.

Hmmm....it sounds like Kameelah hasn't signed her contract yet or the producers are still "figuring out" her place on the show.  Or maybe she's not doing it at all.  You'll recall that the producers kept the additions of LaTocha Scott and Angie Stone under wraps for a long time before they officially confirmed them.
We'll keep our eyes peeled to see if she pops up during a cameo this season.  Meanwhile, "R&B Divas: LA" is set to debut on TvONE July 10 and the "Atlanta" crew wraps up their season on June 19th.
In case you missed it:

Meelah released a very underrated single called "I Should Let You Go" produced by the infamous "LAHH ATL" producer Stevie J a few months ago.  We actually like the song, which only serves to remind us that there's more to Stevie J than his "bus" of females.

Future Covers The Source Magazine 
Birdman, DJ Khaled, and Ace Hood appeared on the first of two covers for the June/July issue of The Source. the iconic magazine reveals the second featuring Future.

Can't say that this honor isn't well deserved. The Atlanta native is having a stellar run because of highly lauded tracks like "Karate Chop." In fact, he's lent a hand to a pair of the aforementioned MCs latest efforts with choruses on Birdman's "Tap Out" and Ace's "Bugatti," respectively.

Future is now prepping his sophomore studio album Future Hendrix, due out later this year.
He sat down with MTV to discuss his forthcoming LP and feelings on gracing the front of the illustrious publication. See a brief synopsis of what to expect from the Epic signee in his sit down with The Source below.

He also dishes on his “awesome relationship” with Ciara and wonders how her feud with Rihanna affected their “Loveeeeeee Song” collaboration. Future felt the song should've been a single. “We never shot a video, we never performed it. I don't know whether it was because of that situation or if just the time hasn't come up.

Alicia Keys Talks on why She is Proud Of Rihanna
Love to see other women giving each other compliments and recognizing that others are just as successful as them and Alicia Keys is giving Rihanna major props for the way she has handled living her life in the spot light. Yes, everyone knows who’s the hottest chic in the game and that is Ms. Robyn Fenty!
Alicia says about Rihanna:

“It’s such a tricky, crazy business, and when people are a little bit younger than me, I’m always hoping that their soul is good because it can be such a soulless space… “I’m proud of Rihanna. Because it’s not easy to stand up in this crazy world and make it and keep going and try new things. And find your way through it.”

Also Legendary New York punk  innovator and songwriter Patti Smith spoke on Riri
 “Right now my favorite song is “stay” by Rihanna. Right now I like Rihanna, its all about voice interpreation, I love Rihanna’s song because of its strength and feeling, I found it moving.”
Stay has amazing lyrics, Sia who sung on Flo-Rida’s “Wild Ones’  is a great songwriter. And Rihanna puts alot of emotion in the song.



Monica Talks About Not Wanting To Take Rocko To Child Support & Being Called A Baby Momma 
Jermaine Dupri was recently in the studio with R&B songstress Monica clowning around and just having fun while recording a song in the studio. The conversation got sort of/kind of serious when the term "Baby Momma" was used and Monica revealed that she wasn't sure how she felt about that term. 
Monica also goes into detail about not ever wanting to step foot inside of a court house to try and get child support from her childrens father, Rocko. Monica says that a REAL man should be able to assess the needs of their children and handle it accordingly.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for most women and we have to end up sitting in somebody's courtroom trying to get some sort of money in order to take care of our children. Lord knows I had to take my older childrens father to court on quite a few occasions because he was dead set on not giving me anything.
After getting him locked up a few times, he got the hint that I wasn't playing any games with him and he started paying on a regular basis. However, getting back to the topic at hand, check out what Monica had to say about child support and courtrooms when you read below:


Now what do you guys think?



Struggling Rapper Khia Comes For Amanda Bynes
I don’t know what Amanda Bynes has done to Khia, but I guess she is searching for some relevancy again so she started going in on Amanda Bynes via Twitter, saying that how she liked Hilary Duff and Raven Simone better than her. I wonder if Amanda will come for Khia’s wig like she’s been doing with everyone else.

SNEAK PEEK: Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt, LaTocha Scott, Nicci Gilbert And Angie Stone TOGETHER AGAIN For The "R&B Divas" REUNION Taping
Sparks flew during the R&B Divas Atlanta Season 2 Reunion taping on Tuesday night at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.
Old fights were revisited and new friendships were solidified when Executive Producer Nicci Gilbert, Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Keke Wyatt, Monifah Carter and LaTocha Scott all joined Joe Clair to dish on the past season.

On woman who was missing in action was Faith Evans, who chose to skip the reunion to celebrate her 40th birthday. Does this mean she won't be back next season?
Singer Nicci Gilbert, who spent most of the season battling Syleena Johnson looked like an angel in white for the taping.
We wonder if her outfit was a part of the "Curvato" collection?
Nicci even blessed the reunion with a vocal selection.  Hmmm...we wonder if that "Brownstone" reunion ever happened?
Syleena Johnson spent most of the season battling Nicci and dealing with family drama as her mother, a former addict, became the newest member of her household.
LaTocha Scott, who joined the cast earlier this season, did her best to avoid the on-screen drama.
Keke Wyatt was in pretty good spirits this season as she had a hit single on the radio with Avant, "You And I".

Monifah, shown with her partner Terez, often played peace-maker this season.
DJ EQ keep the sounds flowing in between segments.
And tv personality Joe Clair played referee during the talks.
The explosive TV One reunion taping airs in two parts on June 26 and July 10 .



Flavor Flav Is About To Lose His Last Chicken & Ribs Joint
Flavor Flav's acumen as a business is looking very suspect. The Public Enemy rapper and reality star's last fried chicken joint in Michigan is in danger of closing. 
Reports TMZ:
Flavor Flav's run as a fast food mogul could be over in a matter of weeks ... because the last of his fried chicken joints has been hit with eviction papers ... TMZ has learned.
Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs in Sterling Heights, MI has been accused of stiffing its landlord out of rent since the day it opened back in December 2012.

FYI -- FFC&R is the last of 3 fried chicken joints Flav has tried to open in the past few years ... one sputtered out in Iowa in 2011 and the other one died a slow painful death in Vegas in 2012.
Now, according to court docs obtained by TMZ, the Michigan location is also on the ropes ... unless it finds a way to come up with $25,000 (missing rent + late fees + damages).
The papers show ... FFC&R was late in making its monthly $3,500 monthly rent payment back in Sept and October -- and stopped paying altogether in November.

The landlord warned Flav's restaurant about the problem back in January ... and just a few weeks ago, went back to the court in hopes a judge will kick Flav to the curb, stat. 
We called Flav about the crisis ... and he told us he had no idea the restaurant was in trouble. But the rapper insists, "I'm gonna figure out what's going on and get to the bottom of this ASAP!"

Flav is currently on the latest season of VH1's Couples Therapy. He is also going on trial for threatening his girlfriend/fiancee Liz Trujillo's son with a butcher knife. If convicted, the "911 Is A Joke" rapper is facing up to 12 years in prison.

You gotta get it together, Flav.



SPLITSVILLE!: MILEY CYRUS’ PARENTS CALLING IT QUITS!
Miley Cyrus has been in all types of media for starting a twerking trend amongst her vanilla-skinned fans, but now she’s dealing with some family issues.
Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus, has filed for a divorce from mullet loving Billy Ray Cyrus citing “irreconcilable differences.” Her decision to pull the plug on the marriage comes 3 years after Billy Ray filed for divorce but dropped it in an attempt to work things out.
Billy Ray and Tish have been married for 19 years and have 5 children, including, of course, Miley. There’s only one minor child left, Noah Cyrus, who is 13. Tish is asking for full physical and legal custody, with visitation to Billy Ray.
Tish is also asking for spousal support, and she wants him to pay her attorney’s fees. The date of separation is listed as TBD.
Tish tells TMZ, “This is a personal matter and we are working to find a resolution that is in the best interest of our family. We ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”
