Kenya Moore Slams Brandi Glanville During Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Reunion; Calls Her “Scum!”
Kenya Moore may want to make amends with Phaedra Parks, but she has absolutely NO interest in mending her relationship with former Celebrity Apprentice c0-star Brandi Glanville! Their feud continues!
Kenya live-tweeted the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills reunion and had some not so nice comments about Brandi – and Kenya was not in the minority because most of Brandi’s RHOBH castmates didn’t have anything nice to say about her either!
Kenya’s ire towards Brandi started after Andy asked Brandi what it was like working with Krayonce on CA. Brandi, of course, didn’t try to make nice. Instead she called Kenya “crazy” and “evil” and Kenya unleashed her tirade on twitter! “LOL this woman is still talking about me #obsessedmuch #RHOBH” Kenya wrote.
Kenya then slammed Brandi – rightfully – for her comments regarding Yolanda Foster‘s daughter Bella.
“Yeeesss @LisaVanderpump speak on it #RHOBH,” Kenya added when Lisa took Brandi to task for her behavior.
Kenya wasn’t done – she then called Brandi “the scum of the earth”! Someone replaced Apollo Nida on Kenya’s pecking order.
Brandi didn’t respond to Kenya’s tirade against her, but I am sure Brandi will retaliate some how…
Well thankfully Kenya isn’t on RHOBH – she’s on Real Housewives Of Atlanta which means only minimal interaction with Brandi, but no less evil given her own co-stars.
Christina Milian Explains Rumored Engagement Ring From Lil Wayne
It’s been close to six months and Christina Milian still seems to be growing strong with rapper Lil Wayne. Whenever asked about the 32-year-old Young Money leader, the new reality star (her E! show Christina Milian Turned Up has landed a second season) is all smiles, literally.
During her recent interview with on Real 92.3 with Big Boy, Christina noted that it’s rare that people see her and Wayne out in public.
"You know how many pictures there are of me and Lil Wayne holding hands? There are actually a couple…I guess it’s been like a couple of months since anyone’s seen any pictures of us together. So I guess it’s a big deal. I mean we’ve had like a couple encounters that people have caught."
She admits that they purposely maintain a low profile and that her boo is a VERY private person.
"With Wayne, honestly he’s not a public kinda guy. He’s not a public figure. If you look at his Twitter, he tweets every now and then. He just started an Instagram. Like you really don’t see him out much. He really is like studio, skate park, eat …"
When asked about rumors that she’s rockin’ an engagement ring, she says:
"It was a sweet little gift. It was a nice gesture."
And when asked whether or not she loves Tunechi, she responds:
"I do, I do love him. He’s dope."
Deion Sanders Calls His Son A Poser On Twitter!
learned that lesson the hard way.
While trying to stunt on social media, Deion Jr. got checked by his dad and it was pretty embarrassing.
Deion Jr. took the diss in stride and still proclaimed his love for hood doughnuts.
Deion Sr. also let everyone know he was just having a good time with his son.
It’s also worth noting that the father son duo also have a clothing line called “Well Off Forever”, so no, they’re really not about that life.

New Couple Alert? Houston Texans' J.J. Watt & Tennis Star Caroline Wozniacki?
Could NFL star J.J. Watt be dating tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki? The two were spotted sitting together at the NCAA championship game on Monday night in Indianapolis. Both of them were cheering hard for Wisconsin (who, unfortunately for them, ended up losing the game to Duke). J.J. played college football at Wisconsin while Caroline, who is from Denmark, doesn't really have any connection to the school. Maybe she was just there to support J.J.
J.J. has said previously that he doesn't have time for a girlfriend because he spends all his time and energy on football. In an interview with ESPN last year, he said, “I obviously would love to have a girlfriend but a girlfriend deserves so much of your time and energy. And she deserves to be treated like a princess because that’s how you should treat your girls. And if I can’t give them that time and that devotion because of my dedication to football, then I don’t feel like I should almost waste their time. If I find the right girl and she steals my heart then it might be a different story. It’s very difficult and I’m not overly optimistic about it, but I would love the opportunity.”
Maybe he finally found the one girl that he's willing to make time for.
Here are some more pics of J.J. and Caroline enjoying the game.
They sure look like they're enjoying each other's company. But until J.J. makes Caroline his #WCW or Caroline posts a selfie in a #99 Texans jersey with a winky face emoji, it's hard to say for sure. For what it's worth, they make a cute couple!
Frank Ocean Announces New Album, Due Out in July
A new Frank Ocean album is officially on its way.
The singer took to Tumblr to share the above photo along with the caption
“I got two versions. I got two versions…”
He also included the hashtags #ISSUE 1 #ALBUM 3 #JULY2015 and #BOYSDONTCRYMAGAZINE.
His mother Katonya confirmed the good news, tweeting, “Yup. True :))”
It took him long enough! We can’t wait to hear what Frank has been cooking up!
Update: A rep for Ocean confirmed to Billboard that the project is two things: A new album and his own publication. So far, there’s no title for either just yet.
Developing: Beyoncé, Kelly & Michelle to Reunite for a 10-Year Reunion Tour
According to Daily Mail, the ladies won’t be able to tour under that name.
via VH1:Beyonce’s father and former manager, Matthew Knowles, owns a quarter of Destiny’s Child. None of the ladies, including Beyonce, wants anything to do with him. In order to tour and record an album without owing Knowles a dime, the group can’t use the name Destiny’s Child.
At the Stellar Gospel Awards, the ladies performed simply as themselves. Two years after their surprise 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance together, Beyonce and Kelly joined Michelle on stage for an unexpected choir-like opening to the show. The trio performed “Alpha & Omega” and “Say Yes” from Michelle’s Journey to Freedom album.
That could explain why Michelle Williams was so adamant about not calling their reunion at The Stellar Awards a ‘Destiny’s Child’ reunion.
We’re totally here for a DC3 tour. It’s about time.

Usher’s Ex-Wife, Tameka Raymond, Urges Her Twitter.com Followers to Learn the Koran
Tameka Raymond, the ex-wife of singer Usher Raymond, is urging her Twitter.com followers to learn the Koran in the aftermath of the al-Shabab massacre of 148 Christian students at a University in Kenya.
The Associated Press identified Somalia’s Islamic extremist group al-Shabab as the group behind the massacre at Garissa University College in Kenya on Thursday.
4 gunmen entered the University and began slaughtering students who either couldn’t answer or hesitated to answer the gunmen’s questions about the Koran. Christians were executed on the spot.
The 4 gunmen were killed by Kenyan forces who first put the bodies on display at a morgue, then paraded the bodies through town on Saturday to assure the people that they were dead.
HBO’s documentary film “Terror At the Mall,” which aired on CNN on Friday, featured interviews with some of the 175 survivors of Kenya’s Westgate Mall shootings in 2013.
In a tweet to her 157,000 Twitter followers, Tameka wrote, “Watching @CNN ‘Terror At the Mall” this is poignant & scary. I advise everyone to learn at least some of the Koran. That was the test? Yikes.”
As with the massacre of Christians at the Kenyan University, the victims of the mall shooting were asked to recite the Koran to test their knowledge of Islam and to determine if they were Muslim or Christians.
The FBI has said they are monitoring Islamic extremists who are affiliated with ISIS in every state in the U.S., including Georgia.
Jada Pinkett Smith Left ‘Gotham’ To Save Marriage To Will Smith?
Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith have been married for a long, long time, especially by Hollywood’s standards. Whether it’s for that reason or because there really is trouble in paradise, the tabloids always seem to be fixating on the Will/Jada marriage in their weekly stories.
For example, the latest report from OK! Magazine claims that Jada Pinkett Smith left ‘Gotham’ to save her marriage to Will Smith. A ‘source’ tells OK!, “Jada enjoyed her time on the show, but she and Will have issues. She can’t afford to be on set right now.”
Apparently, these ‘issues’ and the ensuing divorce rumors all stem from the fact that Will got too close to his ‘Focus’ co-star, Margot Robbie. However, most of the tabloids seem to conveniently forget that Margot Robbie was dating someone else at the time, even though that doesn’t necessarily mean that nothing went on.
Either way, I can guarantee that neither Will Smith nor Jada Pinkett Smith are going to get divorced, especially not right now. Even if we put aside the fact that both of them are going to stick to the Scientology creed of marriage [never get divorced], there’s also the fact that they need each other right now. Will’s career has never been worse, and without the good family guy image that he often demonstrates in the media, it might not recover.
Granted, Jada leaving Gotham might have absolutely nothing to do with her marriage, but rather her desire to star in films and higher-caliber projects. Gotham is a high profile network show, but Jada wasn’t the lead of the show nor was she an integral part to the story. She is no doubt looking for more challenging and high-profile material, at least to showcase her particular talents.
What do you guys think? Is there any truth to the rumors of a divorce between Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith?
Reggie Bush & Wife Lilit Avagyan Reportedly Expecting Their Second Child!

Lilit and Reggie married in July 2014 in San Diego, Calif and are the proud parents of daughter Briseis, 22 months.
Congrats to the couple! We look forward to the official announcement!
Keyshia Cole Isn’t Going to Jail After All
Keyshia Cole gets to remain jail free after her lawyer successfully argued that a 10-year-old warrant shouldn’t land the singer behind bars.
via TMZ: It’s a bizarre story … back in 2002 Keyshia got a DUI. She was placed on probation and was required to attend an alcohol ed course. The court records do not show proof of completion so the judge issued a bench warrant.
But Holley told the judge Keyshia completed the program and her former lawyer just screwed up by failing to inform the court. Holley explained the alcohol ed program — which no longer has the old records — must have notified the DMV, because Keyshia has gotten 2 drivers licenses since then.
Holley persuaded the judge so the warrant was recalled and probation was terminated — yes, Keyshia was unwittingly on probation for the DUI for more than a dozen years.
As for how this all came up … TMZ broke the story Keyshia was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman in Birdman’s West L.A. condo last September. The arrest turned up the warrant. The assault matter was dropped, so Keyshia’s a free bird.
Good for her.
Mob Wives Big Ang has THROAT CANCER!!!
Last week Big Ang down played her lemon sized throat tumor on Facebook during her reveal, but now we’ve learned that Big Ang Nervous Over 7-Hour Throat Surgery.
Big Ang ran into a health scare last week, but she’s jumped on it like bees to honey to have the tumor removed. CelebNMusic247.com has the new details that Ang will have to undergo a seven-hour throat surgery to remove the cancerous tumor.
Beside Ang, Renee Graziano and Karen Gravano also announced the news on her social media accounts last week.
We’ve also learned, after discovering the presence of the tumor, which is sitting on top of her voice box, she has learned that it is in fact cancerous and she is undergoing a lengthy surgery to remove the mass, according to Radar Online.
Detore explained to the news site: “The tumor is cancerous: It’s throat cancer.”
“It’s on top of the voice box. They didn’t give her a stage. I think when she gets the surgery to remove it, they’ll probably have all the answers by then.”
Ang took to her Facebook to update fans on the condition earlier this week, where she tried to remain optimistic despite the scary diagnosis.
Ang wrote: “This coming week I will be taking proper precautions and having it removed.”
“I do want to say that you have all been on my mind every step of the way and I am so thankful to each and every one of you for the love, support, prayers and most of all positive wishes. Big Ang isn’t going anywhere!”
Ang took to Facebook to clarify the situation to her fans.
Meanwhile, Ang’s sister also reveals that is saying the star is a little bit nervous going under the knife.
“Who wouldn’t get nervous about having a seven-hour surgery?” Janine said of Ang’s attitude prior to the operation. “It’s a long time so of course she’s nervous. She’s got a lot of nieces and nephews that are worried, her grandchildren, her daughter, her son, her husband, her other siblings … we’re all nervous, of course.”
As far as what the doctors are planning on doing, the family is still in the dark as to whether Ang will receive chemo or radiation following the lengthy procedure.
“You don’t know what they are going to do: whether they are going to have chemo or radiation or nothing,” the star’s sister explained. “She doesn’t know yet.”
We wish Big Ang a speedy recovery. God Bless Ang…
In Political Theater: Rand Paul: 'I AM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT'
Sen. Rand Paul launched his 2016 presidential campaign Tuesday with a combative challenge both to Washington and his fellow Republicans, cataloguing a lengthy list of what ails America and pledging to "take our country back."
Paul's fiery message, delivered in his home state of Kentucky before he flew to four early-nominating states, was designed to broaden his appeal outside of the typical GOP coalition as well as motivate supporters of his father's two unsuccessful bids for the Republican presidential nomination.
In a 26-minute speech that eviscerated "the Washington machine," he spared neither Republican nor Democrat as he attempted to tap into Americans' deep frustrations with their government.
"I worry that the opportunity and hope are slipping away for our sons and daughters," the tea party favorite said. "As I watch our once-great economy collapse under mounting spending and debt, I think, `What kind of America will our grandchildren see?'"
He added: "It seems to me that both parties and the entire political system are to blame."
By criticizing fellow Republicans, Paul showed he was ready to run a tough-talking campaign equally at ease criticizing both major parties.
"Big government and debt doubled under a Republican administration," Paul said in a swipe at former President George W. Bush, whose brother, Jeb, is expected to be a Paul rival for the GOP nomination.
He immediately followed up: "And it's now tripling under Barack Obama's watch."
In what well might have been a jab at Jeb Bush and other rivals considered more mainstream, he added: "If we nominate a candidate who is simply Democrat Lite, what's the point?"
At a splashy kickoff rally, Paul promised a government restrained by the Constitution and beholden no more to special interests.
"I have a message, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: We have come to take our country back," he told cheering supporters.
Paul is a fierce critic of Washington, where he is in his first term as a senator but often not in line with his party's leadership. A banner over the stage in Louisville proclaimed: "Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream."
Paul was clearly most passionate about upending the way Washington works.
"I propose we do something extraordinary," he said. "Let's just spend what comes in."
Cheers erupted when he decried government searches of phones and computer records as a threat to civil liberties. Most Republicans defend the practice as a necessary defense against terrorism.
"I say the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business," Paul said of government officials.
Tom Stewart, a 58-year-old resident of London, Kentucky, joined Paul's rally and counted himself a backer.
"I like that he wants less government," Stewart said. "Less spending. Less intrusion. Maybe less intrusion into everybody's rights around the world."
Paul's challenge now is to convince other Republican voters that his is a vision worthy of the GOP presidential nomination, a prize twice denied his father, former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. The elder Paul joined his son at Tuesday's announcement and got a raucous cheer when he was introduced.
Paul begins the 2016 race as the second fully declared candidate, behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. They could face as many as 20 rivals before the lead-off Iowa caucuses in February.
Paul is a frequent contrarian against his party's orthodoxy, questioning the size of the U.S. military and proposing relaxation of some drug laws that imprison offenders at a high cost to taxpayers. He also challenges the GOP's support for surveillance programs, drone policies and sanctions on Iran and Cuba.
But as the presidential campaign has come closer, Paul has shifted his approach somewhat on the question of how much government the country actually needs.
He recently proposed a 16 percent increase in the Pentagon's budget, a switch from his earlier call for military and troop cuts.
Tech savvy and youth focused, Paul is expected to be an Internet pacesetter whom his competitors will have to chase.
Paul's digital advisers, for example, kept track of who asked questions in a Facebook exchange after the speech, harvesting data to reach prospective voters.
It's unclear how much support Paul can muster in the Republican mainstream.
In one sign of his uphill climb, an outside group not connected to any candidate planned to spend more than $1 million on ads criticizing Paul's positions on Iran sanctions. And Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued the pile-on, telling reporters, "Rand Paul's policies are way outside the mainstream."
Paul is leaving open the door to a second term in the Senate. With the backing of his state's senior senator, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, he is likely to seek the White House and the Senate seat at the same time.
McConnell, who backs Paul's presidential bid, appeared Tuesday at a business event in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
"I think we take it one step at a time," McConnell said. "I'm confident if Rand is running for the Senate, he'll be re-elected."
One of Paul's likely rivals, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, is expected to announce next week that he will skip a Senate re-election bid in 2016 in favor of putting everything into a presidential campaign.

I get it. Going out in public can be scary and stressful. Sometimes you just need your pacifier to keep you calm and in your comfort zone. I know I don’t go anywhere without my binky winky.
HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!!!
