#RHoA: Kenya Moore Takes Photos With Cynthia Bailey And Malorie Bailey-Massie In Houston — And gets put on BLAST For Posing While Helping Victims
Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore are learning the hard way that the aphorism which says the road to hell is paved with good intentions is real.
The beauties accompanied by Bailey’s sister, Malorie Bailey-Massie, left their comfortable mansions in Atlanta and flew to Houston, Texas to help the numerous victims of Hurricane Harvey, but the photos they took on the scene are creating drama.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars wearing their habitat for humanity T-shirts were happy to pose for pictures as they cleaned up the city.
Harvey, a category 4 hurricane, left thousands of residents in Texas and Louisiana in shelters.
Government officials confirmed that the torrential rains led to disastrous flood waters that overtook entire neighborhoods and damaged at least 49,000 homes in Texas.
As stated above, Bailey and Moore shared a few pictures from their humanitarian trip and captioned them: “Me, @malbaileymassie & @thekenyamoore volunteering with @habitatforhumanity today helping victims affected by #hurricaneharvey2017 #humbled.”
Most people applauded the reality stars for helping out.
One person said: “Was amazing @cynthiabailey10 thank you for supporting one of my favorite charities, but Good thing…but that dam Kenya pants too dam tight..she catching hell …dam Kenya…”
Another claimed: “Thank you, ladies; God bless you.You’ll the cutest cleanup crew I ever was seen.Very proud of you girls keep doing your thing be safe and stay covered up because it’s millions and millions and millions of germs down there keep yourself covered up its call Universal cover the whole body.”
A few of the supporters were not very happy with the fact that they were taking photos as they were picking debris with the victims of the natural disaster.
One commenter, who was not pleased with the images, said: “All the picture taking is not necessary it’s about doing the work and not be seen that’s where your biggest to accomplish is at getting the work done if you’re there to help and stay out the camera way. Smh”
A fourth individual shared: “Looks like they’re taking more selfies than working, lol. Gotta love mmm though.”
Some fans are thrilled to see that Moore has at least one co-star on her side that is Cynthia Bailey.

Sharon Osbourne Backtracks Kim Kardashian Anti-Feminist Comments: ‘She’s a Strong, Grounded Woman'
Sharon Osbourne is backtracking after calling Kim Kardashian a “ho” and saying the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star isn’t a feminist. “It’s so ridiculous how these things happen… I was doing this interview, and … (the reporter) said to me ‘have you heard that Kim Kardashian has come out as a feminist’ … and of course I commented,” Osbourne, 64, explained on The Talk’s Monday, September 11 episode. "She asked my opinion and I gave it. It wasn’t rude, it wasn’t … whatever (Kim) does, it’s showing her body. Which shows that she’s a strong grounded woman and she’s not ashamed of her body, she wants to show it, which is her business … people have been doing that since day one … it doesn’t make you a feminist."
The British TV personality added: "It got misquoted, when it came out, my response, and Kim came back and said ‘I never said I was a feminist … you’re responding to something I never said.’”
Osbourne’s cohost Julie Chen chimed in, saying that Osborne was “set up to make a comment on something that wasn’t real.”
As previously reported, Osbourne spoke about Kardashian in an interview with The Telegraph, published on September 2. "Kim says she's doing everything in the name of feminism, but that's not feminism!” Osbourne said at the time. "Those girls live off their bodies, half of L.A. has been through them and everything they do from the sex tape to the plastic see-through dresses and the gym wear is about sex, not female progress.”
"God bless them. If Kim wants to show off her body, fine. But that's not feminism, that's being a ho,” Osbourne allegedly continued. "And there's nothing wrong with being a ho, but always remember what you are.”
Days later, Kardashian defended herself against Osbourne’s comments in an interview with E! News. "First of all, I think she said I said a quote about, 'I post nude photos in the name of feminism.' Never said that. So I think when people misquote you and then comment, it just sounds ridiculous,” the Selfish author, 36, explained on September 8. "I post nude photos because I like how I look and I feel proud when I've lost all this baby weight and I post it because I feel like posting it and I feel powerful."
Yeah OKAY!

#NEWCOUPLEALERT: Ladies & Gentlemen Common & Angela Rye Go Public!
Over the weekend, rapper #Common won the award for Best Music and Lyrics at the Creative Arts Emmys for his song “Letter to the Free” which was featured on #AvaDuVernay’s documentary “13th.” The only person who was cheering him on harder than his mama that night was his official lady #AngelaRye.
Angela is the CEO of a political advocacy firm called IMPACT, a commentator on CNN and an NPR political analyst which makes her the perfect match for conscious rapper Common. We suspected that these two were dating when we spotted them together in New Orleans for the Essence Festival.
Angela wrote a heartfelt congratulatory post to Common and expressed how proud she was of his big win!
“Super proud of this guy for having a big #EGO, which is not to be confused with a big ego. Here he is giving thanks to the Almighty for his Emmy just like he does for taking every breath, every single day,” Angela wrote. “I’m thankful for his tremendous example of humility, leadership, kindness, and creativity. May we all be inspired to #WORKwoke.” She then completed her message with hearts.
Meet your new US Open Champ Sloane Stephens!
All, Meet the New Black Girl rising Sloane Stephens, The 24-year-old super gorgeous & talented athlete, Sloane Stephens, had the most insane comeback we've seen, maybe ever. After severely injuring her foot last year and being completely out of the game she loves during recovery, her immediate future in tennis looked shaky at best. But chick wasted no time in getting back to it. Like, none.
Even after her big stint in the 2016 Rio Olympics and defeating Serena Williams in the Wimbledon Quarterfinals in 2013, her ranking dropped to 975 at the start of the tennis season this summer.
Sloane basically gave zero f's, and still had tunnel vision for that Open crown. Talk about the audacity of hope!
She and her good friend Madison Keys were a part of history when they made it to the Semifinals: It's the first time four American women made it to the Semifinals, and the first time there was an all-American finals.
Sloane beat Venus Williams to make it to the Finals, and Madison beat fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe. The stage was set, and Sloane won it all Saturday afternoon. By the way, this was her first time at the US Open. And the significance of this lady winning at Arthur Ashe Stadium isn't lost on us.
Sloane is also the sixth African American and only the second unseeded woman in the Open Era to win the Grand Slam.
Vince Herbert wants to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT on him and Tamar!
*Vincent Herbert is fed up with reports that his wife, Tamar Braxton, continued to party in Atlanta without a care in the world after hearing that he got into a horrible car accident back home in Los Angeles.
Herbert spoke to HipHollywood about what really went down after he lost control of his pickup truck while driving in Calabasas.
According to the music producer, he and Tamar were in Atlanta together, but he left one day early to return to work. Tamar stayed in the ATL because she had an appearance scheduled. Vince said his wife was still at the appearance when his accident happened, but flew back to Los Angeles once she found out about the crash. He told HipHollywood that Tamar was back in LA before he was even released from the hospital.
Vince says he is incredibly “upset about the lies claiming she doesn’t care about me. That’s my wife.” He added, “I’m really sick of the lies. Sick of all the blogs.”
As for how the 44-year-old is feeing, he says he’s “in a lot of pain” but “doing well.”
Adding fuel to the divorce rumors was Tamar’s tearful live stream session on Friday night, telling viewers she refuses to be with someone who treats her like she’d be nothing without them.
Although she never said her husband’s name, social media assumed that Vince must be the target of her distress.
She also took to Instagram with the message: “I am slowly learning that some people are not good for me, no matter how much I love them.”
Nicki Minaj Calls Out the Fashion Community at Phillip Plein Show for Exploiting Black Culture
Nicki Minaj took the stage at the after-party for Philipp Plein’s NYFW show on Sunday night and called out the fashion industry for exploiting Black culture.
“Thank you Philipp Plein for including our culture,” she said. “Designers get really big and really rich off of our culture, and then you don’t see a motherfucker that look anything like us in the front row half the time. So let’s make some noise for Philipp Plein tonight.”
She has a point — though it’s not the first time Nicki’s been vocal about the exploitation of Black culture in fashion.
Earlier this year, she called out Giuseppe Zanotti after he refused to take her call about a business partnership. However keep it cute hon before they Blacklist you! LOL!

#OOOPS! Sen. Ted Cruz likes porn video on Twitter
We see Sen. Ted Cruz has been busy on Twitter.
The Republican lawmaker from Texas was among more than 400 accounts that liked a two-minute-long porno from @SexuallPosts on the social media site.
Lewd footage of the actors — two women and a man — briefly appeared on Cruz’s feed of liked tweets for no particular reason early Tuesday. It’s unclear whether the married father of two personally liked the tweet or if a staffer using his account did the deed.
The internet discovered Cruz’s vice just as the 16th anniversary for the 9/11 attacks came to an end on the East Coast.
Cruz did no wrong by Twitter's standards. The social media giant prohibits the promotion of adult or sexual products and says live videos, profile images and headers may not feature graphic content, such as pornography. It does not dictate what a user can or cannot like.
Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier quickly addressed the senator’s late night Twitter activity and said “the offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter.”
However, Frazier mistakenly said the video was posted to Cruz’s account, not liked.
PornHub later identified one of the X-rated actors featured in the video as Cory Chase.
This is not the first time Cruz has been associated with carnal pleasures.
The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter
— Catherine Frazier (@catblackfrazier) September 12, 2017
As a fledgling law clerk, Cruz said he once searched for hardcore pornography using the term “cantaloupe” alongside retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor — for work, he said. The evangelical Christian divulged his bizarre work duties alongside his wife, Heidi Cruz, and their two daughters during a CNN town hall in April 2016.
Earlier that year, Cruz’s campaign pulled a Sen. Marco Rubio attack ad that aired after learning the actress they hired for the commercial was softcore porn veteran Amy Lindsay.
The former state solicitor general in 2007 tried barring Texans from buying sex toys by penning a failed argument that stretched for 76 staggering pages. Cruz’s one-time attempt to prohibit sales contradicted what one witness had to say about the future senator’s sexual encounters.
“Ted Cruz thinks people don’t have a right to ‘stimulate their genitals.’ I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his,” Craig Mazin tweeted last year.
The mysterious like vanished from Cruz’s page just before 1:30 a.m. and the source of the lawmaker’s latest brush with schadenfreude, @SexuallPosts, thanked the senator for watching.
