On set sources claim Mariah Carey has virtually ruined her reality with her constant meddling...
Insiders tell In Touch “Mariah Carey’s E! reality show, ‘Mariah’s World,’ is slated to debut on Dec. 4. But thanks to the star’s diva antics, it’s a miracle the show will air at all.”
“She got involved in the editing process and blew the show’s budget.”
“She would scrap entire episodes because she didn’t like how she looked. The production budget skyrocketed because she demanded the best lighting and wanted fans around so she could always have her hair blowing.”

Porsha Williams On Plastic Surgery, Fake Apology with Kenya Moore And Says Claudia And Kordell Are Desperate
Porsha Williams was on the Steve Harvey show yesterday afternoon and chatted with him about her Real Housewives of Atlanta co-stars, her plastic surgery, and even helped do “Housewives-inspired makeovers.”
Steve starts off with questions from fans. On Claudia and Kordell being called “Claudel,” she says “they should rename themselves desperados.”
On Claudia Jordan joining the cast, “From the moment Claudia joined the show, I thought she was nice.” Porsha says it confused her that Kenya Moore was trying to encourage Claudia to hook up with her ex-husband Kordell because when Kenya first joined the show, she was accusing Porsha of being Kordell’s beard but now this season was trying to set Claudia up with him. “It’s weird. It’s really weird.”
Is she dating an African prince? “No, I’m not dating an African prince. However, since it’s been in social media so much, I’m sure an African prince is going to be seeking me out. I will be Princess Porsha. I’m single and in the public eye and I haven’t told everybody who I’m dating so they have me dating everybody. A dictator’s son, this young 20 year old basketball player, a football player, I was with everyone. I just think it’s funny, I laugh.”
Porsha thinks the reason people are making up the fake dating scenarios is because, “I’m successful. People see me with nice things and I’m doing well for myself.” She then jokes that she’s open to the African prince, “For the right guy to treat me well and support me I’d say “whatever you would like.”
A Twitter user asks if Porsha really calls herself names in bed. “Yes, I like to be called things like nasty girl, dirty girl ‘grandma if you’re watching..’ they like to call me all kinds of little things. But you have to say it very sweet. That’s how most women are. We are ladies in the street and we are freaks in the bed.”
How genuine was her makeup with Kenya, can she say they’re friends now? “The makeup wasn’t genuine. It was so fake, the hug was fake, all of it. However, I had opened up a piece of my heart at that point. Even though my hug was just a church hug, I opened my heart a bit. But as the season progressed she started showing signs that she was the same person. We are still on completely opposite sides of the reality world.”
Steve shares says that Kenya worked on his sitcom playing a school teacher in the early days. Porsha snipes “Oh that’s cool that she had a job back then. You gave her a real acting job.”
Has she had any work done besides her boobs (aka Coco and Chanel). “People think I’ve had my nose done, my teeth. Somebody said I had my ribs crushed. Can you imagine that? So, no, I haven’t had any other work done except for the new girls and I love them. I’m enjoying them, probably more than anybody.”
Porsha then made over two ladies. One she made up to look like NeNe Leakes and the other to look like her.
And Now…………Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta’ Star Joseline Hernandez tells us something we already knew … My Show Is Fake!
Joseline Hernandez from “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” knows what’s real … and it’s not her show.
Reports TMZ: Hernandez testified under oath in a videotaped deposition that she and other cast members stick to a script.
She’s being sued by former co-star Althea Eaton, who claims Joseline got high on crack cocaine and then beat the crap out of her during a reunion show.
During the depo, Althea’s lawyer wanted to know if the real Joseline emerged during the fight in question, or whether it was pre-programmed.

Did Iggy Azalea kill her arena tour by refusing to do publicity?
Last month, Iggy Azalea bragged to GQ magazine about her staying power and her upcoming first arena tour. Iggy talked about how hard she worked on stage design. She was excited to engage with her fans. Then Iggy kept getting into Twitter fights over substantive issues. She eventually quit social media over superficial stuff.
I expected Iggy to take some time away from the spotlight. She started giving radio interviews about how she deserved respect from other rappers, and she would have rejected a Grammy. Now Iggy’s attitude has jeopardized her 24-date, cross-country arena tour. The Wrap broke a story about Iggy’s deep riff with her “core team” (T.I.). She’s reportedly “increasingly unresponsive to her management and refuses to engage in promotion.” Iggy refuses to talk about her music to the media. She’s only complaining. Tickets weren’t selling, and her opening acts (Nick Jonas and Tinashe) weren’t happy.
After the Wrap released their exclusive, Billboard dropped a bomb. Iggy’s tour has been officially rescheduled to begin in the fall (instead of April). Def Jam Recordings simply says, “to accommodate for creative team availability and tour productions, it was determined that the tour will not be ready this spring.” The opening acts walked and won’t return.
Iggy’s a pill, but objectively, I wonder why anyone believed Iggy could pull off an arena tour. Iggy broke some Billboard records last year, but all of her hit singles are duets. What was she planning on doing — carting several artists along with her during the entirety of the tour?
Bye girl. Until next time.
“Game Of Thrones” Gets Four Covers For Entertainment Weekly
The excitement continues to build for the April 12th Season Five premiere of “Game of Thrones,” and now Entertainment Weekly has unveiled four new covers and an impressive interview.
Showrunner David Benioff explained, “Worlds are colliding. One of the things we’ve been most excited about from the beginning of the series is we’ve had all these far-flung story lines across Westeros and Essos which almost never cross. Now some of these characters start to head on a collision course for each other.”
As for the four covers, Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams and Emilia Clarke all have their own edition. Producer Bryan Cogman teased, “With each season, the stakes get higher and higher and the war gets bloodier and bloodier. We’re in season 5 and there’s an expectation for big events and consequences.”
Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars is back and this season is set to be a doozy.
The season three line-up includes Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino & Lauren Pesce, Aubrey O’Day & Travis Garland, Tami Roman & Reggie Youngblood, and Jeff Schroeder & Jordan Lloyd. And although many of the couple are not yet married, they’re still facing a myriad of issues that could prevent them from ever walking down the aisle.
Between Kendra & Hank’s transexual scandal and Tami & Reggie’s 17 year age difference, you can expect some explosive moments as “Marriage Boot Camp” creators Jim and Elizabeth Carroll try to work with the couples. Just take a look at the couple’s bios and MBCRS trailer below. Will you be watching when the show premieres on Friday, March 13th on WEtv at 9pm?
Kendra Wilkinson & Hank Baskett
Life was perfect for Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett until a tabloid scandal tainted their happy household. They had a beautiful child with one more on the way, when Hank made a decision that will haunt him for the rest of his life. Now, Hank is trying everything in his power to get their lives back on track. Marital troubles can be hard on any couple but add the constant pressure of the tabloids and social media and that’s a recipe for disaster. Will Kendra be able to forgive Hank and move on with the rest of their lives?
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino & Lauren Pesce
Long before reality TV came into the picture, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce were college sweethearts. The couple took a hiatus from their relationship and went their separate ways. Mike found fame in the blockbuster reality TV series “Jersey Shore” and the acquaintance of many, many women. Unfortunately, the dark side of stardom got the better of him as addiction reared its ugly head in the process. After getting clean and sober Mike and Lauren rekindled their relationship, however Lauren is struggling with the possibility he could relapse. Can a bad boy really change or will old ways and bad habits leave her to pick up the pieces?
Aubrey O’Day & Travis Garland
Rock stars work hard, play hard and for this rock couple, they FIGHT HARD. Aubrey O’Day and Travis Garland have suffered through every relationship issue from miscommunication to mistrust including allegations of infidelity. Working in the music industry has proven detrimental to the couple and breeds competition and jealousy between them. Their relationship has gotten so toxic she has moved out of the home they once shared. Aubrey believes that they are meant to be together, but they have NO idea how to be together. Boot camp is the last resort for this couple.
Tami Roman and Reggie Youngblood
The basis of all good relationships is time together, but this on again off again couple has spent almost as much time apart as they have together. While apart, Tami Roman and Reggie Youngblood both dated other people, but always gravitated back to each other. With a 17-year age difference, they are at different chapters in their lives. Tami has been married, divorced, and has raised two beautiful girls while Reggie is dreaming of the day when he can see her as his bride walk down the aisle and have a child with her. Can these two manage to get and stay on the same page or will that ultimately be their demise?
Jeff Schroeder & Jordan Lloyd
America watched Jeff Schroeder and Jordan Lloyd fall in love on TV and viewers couldn’t help but fall in love with them as well. They are the perfect couple… on the outside, but what’s really going on behind closed doors? Since the beginning, communication has always been an issue. They’ve also struggled through a long distance relationship until she picked up her life and moved across the country for him TWICE. Not only was Jordan taken outside of her comfort zone, but gave up her small town values for the big city lights. Are they living in bliss or in ignorance?
Bobbi Kristina’s cousin makes shocking claim about Pat Houston
There’s been a barrage of different stories that have come from Bobbi Kristina’s family about her near-drowning tragedy and her being in a medically induced coma for the past month. And now Bobbi Kristina’s cousin has come out of left field with a shocking implication that her aunt, Pat Houston, tried to kill her.
Bobbi’s cousin, Jerod Brown, made the accusation last Sunday in a Facebook status, in which he claims that Whitney Houston was murdered and that Bobbi is the victim of an attempted murder. And according to Brown, Pat is someone the police should be suspicious of in Houston’s death.
Jerod Brown - Pat Houston Facebook Post
However, Brown later clarified that he never said that Pat was Houston’s alleged murderer.
Jerod Brown - 2nd Pat Houston FB Post
Well, those are certainly some strong and damaging accusations against Pat, and we’ll no doubt be hearing more about Jerod, as well as stories from Bobbi’s family, in the near future.
Check out the rest of what he had to say about Bobbi and Houston after the cut.
WOW…just WOW!

Kelly Rowland's GORGEOUS Nude Maternity Pics For ELLE Magazine
Mommy-To-Be Ms. Rowland...or Mrs. Witherspoon...is totally glowing in her brand new maternity shoot for ELLE Magazine. Shot by actor (and expectant father himself) Lance Gross, Kelly is seen in the nude showing off her perfect baby bump.
She also snapped pics in a sleek satin gown, a menswear tux with her belly on full display, and oter free spirited looks. The fab chick revealed she only has a couple more weeks to go (and she's going into the studio before that!)....and she can't wait to embark on this journey with her husband.
Highlights from the story:
On staying fit while pregnant: Everybody always tells you to go crazy with food, and you can eat whatever you want. It's fine to have your cravings but I wanted an easier delivery. All the women that I've talked to, that have worked out, have such an easy and speedy delivery. Exercise really helps that. And I like being able to have peaceful sleep at night, though there's no such thing as that now in the last trimester [laughs]. To be honest, I did modify my exercise routine a bit by just listening to my body. I would tell my trainer [Jeanette Jenkins] "This move doesn't feel right," and we'd modify it. I still walk two miles everyday. I still work out. It's important to me.
On those pregnancy cravings: I love cherry pie and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in it. And I had a week straight where I was obsessed with nachos.
On her pre-natal beauty regimen: I've switched out anything with harsh chemicals. I use nothing but shea butter, pure cocoa butter and coconut oil. It's amazing how all of those things work so well for my skin. I'm going to continue to just use those after the baby gets here.
On navigating motherhood in the spotlight: I just plan to play it by ear. Everybody has their normal. And sometimes, award shows are a part of that. I have girlfriends who have that experience, and they'll say 'You know, I just really didn't want to be without my child today.' And it's just that simple. It's about finding your normal, whatever that may be.
On working with Lance on this nude shoot: I had a chance to work with Lance Gross during a video shoot for the ["Here I Am"] album, and I remember looking at his Instagram page, and seeing all these crazy hot photos. I texted him, and he said he's really been into [photography]. So we had been planning for a year to shoot and of course, I got pregnant and thought I'll have Lance shoot the photos for my pregnancy. Lance and I had all these great ideas and we just put our heads together to execute the looks. It was a lot of fun.
On why pregnant women shuold be proud of their nude bodies: I don't know why they would get flack. It's really—I won't say amazing—it's Godmazing [laughs] watching your body carry a human. I took a birthing class and I was amazed by all the things this woman was saying to me about birthing and what the body does naturally. Why wouldn't you want to celebrate that? The body should be celebrated.
On the Donna Summer bipic rumors sparked by her IG pic: All these rumors! I was just with my glam squad, we were having fun and we saw this beautiful picture of a Donna Summer record. I was like 'let's try to do this look!' I love Donna Summer. I love how she's this sex goddess, and she's so beautiful and powerful onstage. So we mocked up a cover and I posted a picture. That's all it was! But it would be an amazing opportunity to play her.
On her next projects: I go in the studio next week! I have a new watch with TW Steel called 'Canteen' which is casual, but still stylish. And because I've been shopping for this little one, and it's so hard to find stuff for boys, I'm intrigued to do a children's line.
More pics from the shoot:
Beautiful.

‘Shameless’ Star Jokes about Obama Being the Ebola Virus

The San Antonio-born actor tweeted Thursday: “People shouldn’t be so scared about this virus from Africa. He only has two more years of his presidency.”

Blac Chyna Refusing to Hire Black Stylist at New Salon ?
Blac chyna maybe catching a little heat since she’s opened her new business “Lashed” beauty bar, she officially opened on Tuesday in Encino, CA and sources are already claiming that she is guilty of racial profiling employee candidates during the hiring process.
Sources claim they got a tip from an “ex-friend” of Chyna’s who alleges she “refused to hire any black people at her salon.” But Chyna talked to Rumorfix.com and denied the claims.
According to Rumorfix.com: we reached out to Blac Chyna who tells us the rumor is absolutely not true. In Fact, the Hollywood socialite Instagrammed a photo of her new crew, and Chyna tells us the girl pictured beside her is black.
This better be false and until confirmed, I will withhold my insults until I see what kind of patrons walk thru… . . You have to beware of ex friends…….
Tyler Perry Blown Away by ‘Gone Girl’
The 52nd New York Film Festival opening film and world premiere of “Gone Girl” was followed by a press conference. Spirits were high and all who attended were elated by the film’s enthusiastic reception.
One of the biggest buzzes about this engaging mind twister of a movie is that of Tyler Perry as defense attorney Tanner Bolt. On casting another director in his own right, director David Fincher was cognizant of Perry’s persona.
“I met Tyler and I was really taken with the fact that he’s so calming,” Fincher explained. “I didn’t want Tanner to be somebody who kind of projected this idea that you’re done. Now I’m taking over. It needed to be somebody going, ‘I hear you, I see you, I understand your pain. Now, you really need to step in front of a truck; that’s going to be the best thing,’ and I wanted that.”
Perry says he didn’t know that much about the book the film is based on, and thought it interesting when Fincher called.
“Then when I read the script, I was blown away,” he enthused. “And I said what can I bring to this and if he would give me this opportunity, which he did. I just wanted to do my absolute best. The character for me was so rich and I just thought ‘ease.’ This was David’s word to me every day, just ‘ease.’ It’s all about ease.’ He’s got it all together. So that’s what was pretty interesting to me and completely drew me into it.”
Working with Fincher upped Perry’s game and he had no qualms talking about it.
“For me it was the greatest learning experience I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even imagine learning more from any other director. I don’t think he sees like regular humans. I think he sees everything at once. He’s trying to paint this perfect tableau, and if one thing is out of place, it’s got to be redone. The level of brilliance and genius that it takes to make that happen was so impressive.”
Academy Award winning actor/director Ben Affleck was in tune with Perry in singing the praises of Fincher.
“When David called me, I thought I would have done ‘Phone Book’ with David. So it was a relief when I read ‘Gone Girl’ and it wasn’t just an alphabetical list of names; there was a story [Laughs]. To get a chance to work with a guy that you admire a great deal, particularly his work as a director, was great. Before all my movies that I’ve directed, all three of them, I watch ‘Se7en.’ I feel like it’s the most perfectly, meticulously thing. What kind of person makes a movie like this? It was a pleasure to be around him and a true learning experience. I loved it and would do it again and again and again.”
Summing up his cast choices, Fincher pointed out it was an organic process.
“It’s like putting together a team and figuring out if they’re going to work together,” he observed. “And there’s a gut instinct level to it but you also look at things that they naturally have and you can’t beat out of them with a tire iron.”
Beyonce x Jay Z Get CAMERA Happy
After house hunting with Blue Ivy in an upscale neighborhood in Paris near the French president’s estate, Beyonce and Jay Z are sharing new pics captured during their “couple” time.

Then the Hip Hop couple enjoyed a bite to eat…but not before Bey pulled out her camera for a little photoshoot fun. Say cheese!
She snapped a pic of Jay sippin' on a Tsingtao beer, flashing his ring.
And then Mrs. Carter stripped down to nearly nothing (bareface and all) to show off her flower crown. Beauty is her name.

Justin Bieber’s New BFF: Karl Lagerfeld?
His reputation has taken quite a beating as of late, but that hasn’t stopped Justin Bieber from forming a friendship with noted fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld.
The “One Less Lonely Girl” crooner posted a collage of photos with the Chanel honcho and they looked pretty chummy together.
Justin also teased that there’s a collaboration in the mix, though he left out any helpful details- "Big things coming with my friend Karl Lagerfeld."
Given Lagerfeld’s multitude of talents, including photography, music video direction and creative instincts, there’s no telling what may or may not be in the cards for a Justin/Karl collaboration.

Hedi Slimane Distances Himself From YSL's Black Opium Fragrance Ad Campaign
Saint Laurent made it crystal clear that its creative director, Hedi Slimane, was not involved in the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium fragrance ad campaign.
The brand took to social media to share the following press release.
"Hedi Slimane has been mentioned several times in the press in connection with the introduction in the market of Black Opium with Edie Campbell by Yves Saint Laurent Beauté (L'Oreal Group)."
"It is appropriate to [be] precise that no creative direction has been given by Hedi Slimane on the market launches and on the choices of artistic elements, or definition of image, related to the product lines or the advertising campaigns of Yves Saint Laurent Beauté, including the ones of Black Opium."
As we reported in August, while Saint Laurent isn't bringing in the most money for its parent company, Kering, it is its fastest growing brand. In the first half of 2014 ending on June 30, Saint Laurent's sales were at 320.6 million euros, which is 28 percent higher than the same period last year.
As The Wall Street Journal's Christina Binkley noted, Slimane is injecting some of the coolness that Saint Laurent had in the 1960s when it was fresher and newer back into the brand, and consumers are reacting positively.
What are your thoughts on the latest news of Slimane distancing himself from Yves Saint Laurent Beauté? Do you think there is a fine line between the brand staying on message and still being uniquely their own?
Akon Performs In A Bubble To Avoid Ebola
Either Akon doesn’t know how Ebola is transmitted or he’s just doing his usual thing. The “Locked Up” singer performed his set at the International Day of Peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo from the inside of giant plastic bubble. According to Yahoo! News he used the prop in order to crowd surf among all of the fans gathered for the outdoor concert.
Given the recent Ebola outbreak in Africa, some news outlets assumed that he only did it because he was afraid on contracting the virus. However, Akon has actually been using this bubble in his act since at least 2010.

‘PEEPIN AINT EASY’
Little Bo Peep in today’s society is a tad less little and and little louder of a Peep.
