Kim Kardashian Slams Fat Shamers In C Magazine Cover Story

She’s excited to be pregnant with her second child, though Kim Kardashian told C magazine that the process of conception “took the fun out of” trying to get knocked up.



The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star explained, “It was over a year of trying and I had so many complications. I had this condition called placenta accrete. There were a couple little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again.”


Kim also addressed the way the public shamed her for her weight gain when she was preggers with daughter North West- “I am lucky that, as of right now, I don’t feel like I’m gonna get preeclampsia again, which last time [contributed to] not only the weight, but also the swelling that everyone would make fun of, not understanding that I had this condition. It was the worst! I couldn’t help it, and everyone would say, ‘She can’t stop eating.’ I delivered at 180, and they were like, ‘She’s 210 pounds. She’s getting dumped because she’s too fat,’ and all these ridiculous stories.”


Do you Like or NAH? NeNe Leakes' New Long Blonde Tresses!

NeNe Leakes headed to Craig's in L.A. for dinner.  When the upcoming "To Tell The Truth" variety show judge tip-toed out the restaurant in her Louboutins and Balmain jacket, she showed off her brand new 'do.  And it's one we rarely see her rocking.  Peep the long, flowing wiggery:


The former "RHOA" star is spending time on both the west coast and in the Atlanta area in her brand new multi million dollar home.  Speaking of "RHOA," NeNe's former "RHOA" co-star and frenemy, Kim Zolciak, has not ruled out filming their spinoff road-trip reality show together that has been put on hold. Kim revealed recently on "WWHL":

“It has to do with scheduling. She’s got her stuff going on. I’ve got ‘Don’t Be Tardy’, then Kroy is in football. It’s a lot. It’s a lot for me to leave for that period of time.”

She says they haven't completely ruled out the possibility of going forward with the show. Anyway as for the new hair. Is it a HIT or a MISS?


Oh? So FINALLY Mia Isabella Confirms Relationship with Tyga!
Transgender porn actress Mia Isbella confirms once and for all that she and Tyga were a thing… 

Mia explains in a video posted on Youtube, that has now unfortunately made private!
“Did I have a relationship with this person is what everyone wants to know. Yes we were friends for many years but that’s all I’m going to say unless I’m put in a position where I have no choice but to present the facts. I don’t feel that it’s anyone’s business what two individuals have done behind closed doors and the trust that comes from their connection. I don’t think that it’s fair for someone to try to demand that those details be shared with the public…”

Well Tyga…..it’s now definitely YOUR MOVE!

Recap of the night's biggest moments: Perhaps the most talked about moment came when Kanye West went onstage to accept his video vanguard award. The 38-year-old rapper then criticized MTV for exploiting artists and said he would be running for president in 2020.

Swift's face after perfectly summed up viewers response to West's speech: 
Cyrus' fashion certainly caught the attention of viewers, too. The former Disney Channel star, known for her outlandish and at times revealing fashion choices, made several wardrobe changes throughout the night. 

The most tense moment of the VMAs came when Minaj called out Cyrus for recently taking aim at the "Anaconda" singer in the press. 

When accepting her award for best hip hop video, Minaj turned to Cyrus and said, "Back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, what's good?"

The night ended with a surprise performance by Cyrus herself.

Legendary Horror Director Wes Craven Dead At 76

The "Scream" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" auteur redefined the slasher genre.
Wes Craven, the director of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Scream," died Sunday at 76. The celebrated horror master battled brain cancer, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

Craven is one of the past few decades' most recognizable filmmakers, having transformed the slasher movie with the aforementioned box-office triumphs, both of which spawned numerous sequels. "Scream," in particular, is credited with reinvigorating the teen horror film thanks to a tongue-in-cheek script that both parodied and praised the genre. 

But long before "Scream" became one of 1996's highest-grossing releases, Craven cemented his status as the influential writer and director of exploitation films like "The Last House on the Left" (1972), "The Hills Have Eyes" (1977) "Swamp Thing" (1982) and "The People Under the Stairs" (1991). He broke from his signature genre with the 1999 drama "Music of the Heart," for which Meryl Streep earned an Oscar nomination, and one of the shorts within the acclaimed 2006 anthology film "Paris, je t'aime." He returned to form with the thriller "Red Eye" (2005), the supernatural box-office dud "My Soul To Take" (2010) and the long-anticipated fourth installment in the "Scream" franchise (2011). At the time of his death, the Craven-produced MTV series based on "Scream" was days away from airing its Season 1 finale.

Craven was born in 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in a strict Baptist family. He earned a Master's degree in philosophy and writing from Johns Hopkins University. He taught college briefly before abandoning academia for the world of cinema, rapidly establishing himself as an auteur who imbued his chilling films with questions about the nature of everyday existence. But Craven said in a 2009 interview that his horror legacy was pure "coincidence," as his debut film, "The Last House on the Left," came about after he and producer Sean S. Cunningham were approached by financiers to make a scary drive-in feature. That launching pad allowed the remainder of his career to channel a singular vision that can be defined by Skeet Ulrich's quote in "Scream": "Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative."

The news of the director's death broke during the MTV Video Music Awards. And many were on Twitter sending their tributes and condolences! R.I.P Wes!

Chris Brown Celebrates 10 Years In The Music Business 
Congratulations are in order for Chris Brown who celebrated a very successful 10 years in the music business on Thursday with his rockstar team.

Breezy shared an image on Instagram of himself being honored with a plaque with all the top honors and accolades of the past decade. This includes 10 million albums sold worldwide, 60 million singles sold worldwide, 3.5 billion YouTube views, 2.3 billion audio streams worldwide, 1 Grammy Award Best R&B Album – ‘F.A.M.E’, 14 BET awards – 31 nominations, #1 rhythm radio AirPlay artist 2012 & 2014 and 19 #1 hits.
It’s also no secret that the 26-year-old has had a rough ten years in his personal life. From jail time, to rehab, to on-again off-again relationships between Rihanna and Karrueche Tran, Brown has endured quite a bit in his 20’s, but we can’t deny that the pop star is incredibly talented and well deserving of these accolades.

Rihanna comes and celebrates her Stylist’s NYC Nuptials!
When it comes to showing support for her friends' most important milestones, Rihanna is one to make it her business to be there. The Bajan beauty hopped on a flight from L.A. to Manhattan just in time to celebrate with her stylist Sonya Benson on her wedding day in Midtown Saturday evening.
The Pop princess got all glammed up in a floor-length silver kimono patterned with orange lotus flowers that she styled with a pair of metallic Tom Ford ankle lock sandals. She ditched the cropped blue wig she was spotted rocking earlier in the day, going back to her golden blonde curly tresses she has been rocking lately pulled up into a high ponytail.

During the wedding festivities, the “BBHMM” singer, who’s first album Music of the Sun celebrates its 10th anniversary today, hopped on the mic to gift the newlyweds, along with party guests, with a live performance during the reception at the American Whiskey Bar.
Let's hope "BBHMM" wasn't one of the selections….LOL!

The Daily Buzz for Aug 21



First Lady Michelle Obama Covers Parade Magazine!
Our first lady, Michelle Obama, covers this week’s issue of Parade Magazine, which will be out on Sunday. FLOTUS gave Parade an exclusive interview about her family, her hair, her Let’s Move initiative, turning 50 and whether she considers herself a “single mother” in the White House. It’s a decent interview:

On why she no longer sports the bangs that caused such a sensation.
You know, it’s hard to make speeches with hair in your face!

On why she chose a leadership role on the issue of childhood obesity in America.
When we started, there were people who were thinking, ‘Oh, that’s not an issue. Why is she picking that?’ But in a short amount of time we have turned a challenging problem into one where there are glimmers of hope and change. Our goal is to see the numbers reduced in a generation.

On thinking about where Malia will go to college.
You know, I am really trying to tone that way down. Because kids are under unreasonable pressure, and it can destroy a high school experience.

On the rules she has set for the Obama daughters as they grow older.
I give them as long a leash as they can handle. What I tell my kids is, I’m preparing you for college and for life. So, having independence, knowing how to set your own boundaries, figuring out how to make that balance. We still have screen time rules.

On whether her recent description of herself as “a single mother” was an acknowledgement of the pressure that comes with always making the decisions about her kids.
That’s absolutely right. When you have a husband or a partner who’s either traveling for work or has huge responsibility … and I give my husband credit—he knows who their friends are, he knows what their schedule is. But he’s not making the calls to the dance studio to figure out what classes they’re taking next year … I think it’s important for both parents to shoulder that [responsibility]. I tell my kids, “I am thinking about you every other minute of my day.”

On the approach of the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
I have immense hope. We just finished our visit to Africa and spent time on Robben Island with one of President Mandela’s cell-block mates. Mandela took a lot of the lessons from Dr. King’s time to heart … To come back to the United States, with an African-American president who has been influenced by both King and Mandela, that is a reason to be hopeful about all that Dr. King sacrificed.

On whether she thinks having an African-American family in the White House has moved the needle.
Absolutely. Children born in the last eight years will only know an African-American man being president of the United States. That changes the bar for all of our children, regardless of their race, their sexual orientation, their gender. It expands the scope of opportunity in their minds. And that’s where change happens.

On whether there will be a female president in her lifetime.
Yes, I think the country is ready for it. It’s just a question of who’s the best person out there.

On whether she sees Secretary Clinton getting the job.
She hasn’t announced anything, so I’m certainly not going to get ahead of her. [laughs]

On whether she will ever run.
No.

On her thoughts about turning 50 in January.
I have never felt more confident in myself, more clear on who I am as a woman. But I am constantly thinking about my own health and making sure that I’m eating right and getting exercise and watching the aches and pains. I want to be this really fly 80-, 90-year old.

[From Parade]

I like how matter-of-fact Michelle is about not running for political office. I remember when Hillary Clinton would deny those stories when she was first lady too, only you knew Hillary was lying and she always wanted to run for office. I get the feeling that Michelle really doesn’t want to at all. She doesn’t want to be a public person. And I’m so glad she growing out her bangs! That was just a terrible look for her.

By the way, did you hear about the report in which it seems like Michelle’s Let’s Move initiative is actually working in many states? Michelle’s signature issue – exercise and healthy eating for kids – is actually making a difference. Obesity rates among children have dropped significantly in 19 states for the first time in decades, according to the CDC. You can read more about it here.



Coko Clemons Dishes On Upcoming SWV Reality Show
Recently, news surfaced that 90s R&B group, SWV, will soon be hitting TV screens with a new reality show.

The ladies are joining WE tv’s successful slate of unscripted programming – with six, one-hour episodes ordered by the network. “The journey of SWV is the kind of real and personal comeback story our viewers love to see,” said WE tv’s senior vice president of original production and development, Lauren Gellert.
Cheryl “Coko” Clemons recently chatted with UrbanBridgez.com, where she dished a little on what to expect from the upcoming show. She says that viewers will have the opportunity to really get to know them, “You think you know us, but you don’t really know us, she said – and will also gain some insight on their break-up.

…What you’re gonna get or will get, because we’re done filming. You know us as SWV the music, but I don’t think you guys know our individual personalities. You think you know us, but you don’t really know us. Like most people would consider me to be a bitch and whatever! But you really get to see like who we are. How we operate in our everyday life with our family. Our family and how we come together within the group.

You get to learn about our break-up. You have three different stories, so you guys can believe whatever story you want (both laugh). It’s three different versions about the same story (laughs). So you get to hear about that. You see us fight, but we’re passionate about each other and we love each other. We’re just rebuilding our friendship. In this show, we go to therapy. Two of us have plastic surgery.

When asked if an air-date has been set yet, she replied:
You know, the time keeps changing. I heard it was in the fall or the beginning of the new year. So right now, I’m just hearing the fall. So I don’t know yet.

Additionally, she shares that she’s currently at work on a new gospel song, talks her new shoe boutique, C & T Shoe Bar, motherhood, and more.

50 Cent Says He Lost $261K Lawsuit Because He's Black
50 Cent is pulling the race card. The Queens rapper says he lost a lawsuit with Sleek Audio—not to be confused with his own SMS Audio—because the judge was hating on his Blackness and celebrity.
TMZ reports:
Earlier this year 50 and company called Sleek Audio were embroiled in a bitter lawsuit. 50 claimed Sleek owed him over $261,000. Sleek said otherwise. The case went to arbitration -- a binding process in which an arbitrator picks the winner.
Bad news for 50, the arbitrator sided with Sleek (the final $$$ judgement was kept under wraps).

But 50 refuses to gently into that good night ... and is taking the battle to federal court -- claiming the arbitration judge discriminated against him because he's black, associates with controversial African-American figures AND because he's a high profile rap artist.
Specifically ... 50 says the bias ran so deep the judge didn't allow him to cross-examine witnesses and refused to look at evidence pertaining to the case. Pretty bold claims.
He wants the award axed ASAP and is asking for a new hearing ... where he says he'll prove the judge was out to get him from the get go.
Sleek fired back too ... claiming 50's allegations of racism are a desperate attempt to avoid the arbitration decision and get it brought before an actual court.
The "Sleek By 50" headphones were cancelled back in 2011. Ferrari filed his lawsuit against Sleek in January 2013.
According to 50, Sleek never lived up to their bargain to have the rapper promote their wireless headphones and he parted ways from the company while still being owed the $261K. Sleek contends that 50 prematurely ended their business relationship.
In other news, 50 stands accused of wrecking his baby mama's crib and a restraining order has been filed against him.



DISTRACTED: DIPSET RAPPER CAM’RON SLACKING ON HIS MUSIC
Cam’ron’s girlfriend has all his attention for sure!
Dipset rapper Cam’ron is really in love with his long time girlfriend amateur urban model JuJu. The two have been dating on and off since 2006.
The couple reportedly got engaged early this year in January. Now we’re happy Cam’ron’s all in love but what we want to know is…WHERE THE MUSIC AT!??
Cam’ron really hasn’t came out with any dipset music since dating JuJu. What’s up with that? Looks like Ms. JuJu is a distraction. Cam’ron posts more pics of him and Juju on his Instagram more than he posts anything that has to do with any upcoming music.
We love to see him in love but damn he needs to draw the line between professional and personal. Can we please get those Dipset bangers back???
The two look really happy and good together. She really has him sprung. Juju put it on him, made him wanna marry her and stop doing music.
