“Zoolander 2” Drops First Teaser Trailer: Watch Here!

February 2016 can’t come soon enough, and in the meantime, “Zoolander 2” just unleashed a teaser to give fans a taste of what’s ahead.

Complete with a computerized voice, the clip takes viewers through the history of time and space before arriving at the present day, where Derek Zoolander has a big question- “If God exists, then why did He make ugly people?”

Check out the new trailer here!

The digital voice then declares the film’s title to be 2ooLander, which Derek (played by Ben Stiller) questions, “200 lander?” Next comes “Zoolander II,” though the male model is still displeased- “I’m not Italian!”

Did Timbaland STEAL Music for a Michael Jackson Song? Well now he is being SUED!

According to our friends at thejasminebrand Timbaland (real name Timothy Zachery Mosley) is blasting a musician who accused him of stealing his music and using it for Michael Jackson’s posthumous album, with the famed music producer saying he didn’t steal anything from the man.

Last year, a musician named Sidney Swanson filed a federal lawsuit against MJJ Productions – the company in charge of releasing the Michael Jackson’s music — Timbaland and Sony Music.

The man explained he released a song entitled “On the Move” back in 2002. He accused Timbaland of stealing his music for the song, “Chicago” – which he produced and was featured on Michael Jackson’s posthumous album Xscape – and he filed suit for copyright infringement.

He demanded damages for the copyright infringement along with an injunction against MJJ Productions, Timbaland and Sony from continuing to distribute the song.

Then on July 31st, Timbaland (who is a a music producer for Empire) fired back at the unknown musician’s allegations that he stole music for Michael’s song, “Chicago”. The music producer denied all claims he infringed on the man’s copyright.

He explains that he produced MJ’s song by himself and created it independently. He even says the musician doesn’t even own a valid copyright to his 2002 song and therefore he cannot even sue for infringement.

Timbaland is demanding the entire lawsuit be thrown out.

Bobbi Kristina Casket Photo Being Shopped while she is Laid to rest aside her Mom Whitney!

According to reports a picture of Bobbi Kristina Brown lying in her casket is being shopped to the tabloids… 

According to TMZ: A photo of Bobbi Kristina's body, lying in her casket, has been sold to a media outlet ... and TMZ has learned the bidding soared into the six figures.

According to our sources, someone snapped a pic of BK during the viewing, which took place the day before the funeral. We're told the winning offer topped the $100,000 mark.

Our sources say members of the Brown and Houston families are blaming each other for the pic, which was snapped despite all the precautionary measures.

In the meantime: Bobby Brown’s late daughter, 22, was buried in a private ceremony at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, N.J. Her casket arrived in a procession at 1 p.m. after first arriving at Whigham Funeral Home, which handled Whitney’s arrangements three years ago.

Surrounding roads were closed to make way for family and friends and to give them privacy. The burial comes only two days after Bobbi Kristina was honored in a “perfect” funeral, according to Ellin LaVar, Whitney’s former hairstylist

R.I.P!

Contrary to what you’ve heard Will and Jada ARE NOT getting DIVORCED!

We’ve been down this road a billion times already. And the truth still remains the same…Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are NOT getting a divorce.

RadarOnline posted an article recently claiming Suicide Squad actor Will Smith and his wife Magic Mike XXL star Jada Pinkett Smith were headed down Splitsville Lane after 17-years of marriage. The publication claimed the celebrity power couple had agreed on a private settlement that would protect “their $240 million fortune." The article also made claims that an announcement about their uncoupling would be forthcoming.

Well…it’s all BS!

The FOCUS star hopped on his official Facebook page to denounce the break up rumors and reveals that IF he ever decides to divorce his wife, he’ll personally let us know. He wrote:

Under normal circumstances, I don't usually respond to foolishness. (Because it's contagious) But, so many people have extended me their "deepest condolences" that I figured - "What the hell... I can be foolish, too!"

So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness... Jada and I are...

NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! : -)

I promise you all - if I ever decide to divorce my Queen - I SWEAR I'll tell you myself!

‪#‎Dumb‬ People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D's

Following Will's statement, Jada co-signed, tweeting:

It's interesting to note, Jada briefly touched on folks always assuming they're breaking up in her cover story with American Way magazine. She said,

Marriages go through shifts and relationships go through shifts because in life things shift. So people are automatically like, "What's going on? They must be getting a divorce." Well, no.'

Well there you have it.

OH MY! Dez Bryant Punches Teammate During Training Camp 

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wasn’t the only NFL star making headlines yesterday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant exchanged punches with Cowboys 2nd year cornerback Tyler Patmon, who got a little too aggressive during a team scrimmage in Oxnard, CA.

Patmon grabbed Bryant when he sprinted off the line of scrimmage, and Bryant’s helmet flew off during the contact. Then Byrant ripped Patmon’s helmet off and both men started throwing punches.

Hefty fines will be levied against both players when the NFL reviews the tape.

Afterwards, Patmon, 24, brushed it off as just a normal occurrence at training camp.

“We’re family, man, it’s just intense out here. It’s training camp, it’s part of it”

Bryant, 26, added: “At the end of the day he wasn’t going to back down and I wasn’t going to back down and you seen us: We shook hands, we hugged and we respect one another.”

SAY WHAT? Azealia Banks Says K. Michelle Got Butt Shots In A Hotel Room?

Last week, K. Michelle and Azealia Banks cancelled their joint tour. Today, they’re passive aggressively shading each other on Twitter.

Ineterestingly, Michelle said the tour cancellation was because of her schedule, not a personal issues  between the two. Well that all changed as of this morning. Banks seems to be retaliating from a comment Michelle tweeted, and maybe some other stuff.

No shade Azealia needs to go to Anger Management classes, OR SOMETHING!

Jay Z & Roc Nation Sports Sued $20M For Allegedly Stealing Clients

If the rumors of Jay Z looking to rid himself with TIDAL turn out to be true, this latest lawsuit against his Roc Nation Sports baby marks his 101st problem.

Reports NYDailyNews: Jay Z and his new boxing agency attempted to lure away a rising young boxing star with promises of fame and fortune even though he was signed with rival promoters, a new lawsuit claims.

The Bronx-based promoter Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing and Artie Pelullo of Banner Promotions filed a $20 million suit on Wednesday in New York State Supreme court alleging that Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports “intentionally interfered with an Exclusive Promotional Agreement” they have with world champion Demetrius Andrade.

According to a copy of a complaint obtained by the Daily News, Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports offered to give Andrade $550,000 to reject a fight DeGuardia and Pelullo had negotiated with Showtime under the guise that Roc Nation would buy out his contract and become his new promoter.

The suit says Andrade pulled out of the Showtime deal, but the WBO junior middleweight champion never received the money he was promised by Roc Nation, which also never purchased his contract from DeGuardia and Pelullo.

Roc Nation Sports declined comment

Drake Picks Up A New Rolls Royce Wraith

I guess with all this back and forth with Meek Mill th past week. Drake decided to reward himself with a new whip. What is it? The Rolls Royce Wraith. Here are some fun facts!

The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a four-seat coupé made by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and based on the chassis of the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The vehicle was announced in January 2013 and unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It has a base price of £229,128 in the United Kingdom. Its chassis was designed by Pavle Trpinac. Deliveries are expected from 4th quarter of 2013. All models include the ZF "8HP90" 8-speed automatic transmission.

The name Wraith comes from an old Scottish word meaning Ghost or Spirit, a name it is sharing with the 1938 model by the original Rolls Royce company.

The rapper’s purchase comes as he continues to build jams for his new album ‘Views From the 6′ and after he learned that his Cash Money boss Birdman had been accused of trying to murder his Young Money executive Lil Wayne

Jada Pinkett Smith speaks to American Way, the magazine for American Airlines!

Jada Pinkett Smith is a survivor.  Raised on the tough streets of Baltimore (she was robbed at gunpont while in junior high), she moved to Hollywood at the age of 17 to begin her illustrious carrer.  In the latest issue of American Way, the magazine for American Airlines, Jada reveals the secrets to her survival and recounts her struggles.

As a woman who is constantly under the microscope for her marriage (new divorce rumors have surfaced this week), parenting skills, and political activism, her ability to survive over two decades in Hollywood is a testament to her strength and endurance. 

Peep the highlights here:

On marriage: Marriages go through shifts and relationships go through shifts because in life things shift. So people are automatically like, "What's going on? They must be getting a divorce." Well, no.'

On scrutiny: 'If you really want to know, I'm thankful for the Hollywood scrutiny, that that's my problem. There are mothers out there losing their sons, their husbands, their daughters. I'm blessed. 'So scrutinise me. I'll take that any day over what the majority of my people are dealing with on a daily basis. I dare not complain. Hollywood scrutiny has nothing on what I've survived just to be here.'

On picking Hollywood roles: I have really no interest in roles that keep me in a box. I’m not interested in just playing the pretty girl, or what people depict as being ‘tough’ or ‘street.’ I do love playing those gritty characters, as long as I’m given diversified ways to play them. Coming from the streets of Baltimore, I know there’s a lot of variation even within that world.”

On her upbringing: “My grandmother made sure I was trained. I had tap dance. I had ballet class. I had to learn French. I had to play the piano. She just wanted me to be the most well-rounded child.”

On her grandmother: “She was an atheist. And she was like, ‘If you want to believe in God, you have to pick your own god.”

On growing up in Baltimore: “So many people I lost on the streets,” she says, “and even just my own life, when I think back to who I was, living in Baltimore and what my ideas of survival were, and the kind of activities I was involved in at 13 years old. I was going to jail or I was gonna see a grave. Those were my two choices, because you get caught up in a mentality.”

On turning down a role on NBC's "Blossom": “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’ll die in this role,’ ” she remembers. “Let me tell you,” she says. “People in this industry were like, ‘Are you frigging kidding? This little nobody is saying no to a hit TV show? How dare she?!’ ” She was told she’d never get work again, but two weeks later, she did well at an audition for A Different World, the spinoff of The Cosby Show, and became a series regular. “That’s when I learned you wait when you feel something’s not right for you. You wait to take the shot. It was at a time when young and black was very hot in Hollywood. Doors were opening the way they’d never been open before.”

FAB!

OH NO????? Janet Jackson Postpones World Tour?....UPDATED!

It’s family first for Janet Jackson. According to reports, she’s pumping her breaks and postponing her upcoming Unbreakable World Tour. Well not exactly she isn't According to Access Hollywood, Janet flew in her 'key personnel' so she can get in some practice time before her Unbreakable world tour begins on August 31 in Vancouver. So I am assuming she will begin on time. However this is NOT what was first reported. So just stay tuned and further updates from her camp will be sent to press!

Last week,  he was hospitalized after suffering a stroke on his 87th birthday. 

We wish Joe the best…….Well fans stay faithful!

So did Beyonce Pass on doing 'The Wiz' Live?

Earlier this week there were rumors NBC was itching to cast Beyonce as Glenda the Good Witch in their production of The Wiz Live [click here if you missed that]!

Well, insiders claim she already passed on it…Sources tell Entertainment Weekly, "Beyoncé actually passed twice on playing Glinda. But there’s always a chance that NBC might circle back with another offer. Until the Glinda role is filled, anything’s possible. But as of now, Beyoncé is not frolicking with Munchkins in December."

Oh well moving on!

Mariah Carey only allows James Packer to have sex with her on Mondays

I know that there are going to be people yelling “OMG, this comes from Star/OK, it’s obviously crap!” But here’s what you need to know: I believe every single word of this. I will always believe the stupidest, silliest, craziest stories about Mariah Carey because more often than not, they are 100% true. As we know, Mariah is currently dating James Packer, an Australian billionaire previously linked to Miranda Kerr (the rumor is that Kerr homewrecked Packer’s marriage). Packer seems enamored with Mariah, and early into their courtship, he took Mariah, her kids and his kids on a whirlwind vacation through the Mediterranean. But is he strong enough to follow Mariah’s strict courtship rules? An insider tells Star/OK: “Mariah wants to be in control and let James know that she’s unlike anyone he’s ever been with.” Thus, these rules. Apparently, James is “up for a challenge.” Hahahaha.

Sex Only On Mondays: Mariah doesn’t like surprises, especially in the bedroom. So to make sure she’s always prepared for a night of passion, she schedules her sex on Monday nights. “There’s a beauty routine she goes through beforehand,” says a source. “And she likes to make sure candles are lit and music is playing.” Ah, the anticipation!

Never Mention Nick: Determined to leave her soon-to-be-ex-husband Nick Cannon in the past, Mariah has forbidden everyone around her—even James—to refer to him by name. “She only calls Nick ‘my children’s father’ and expects everyone else to follow suit,” adds the source.

Keep The Bubbly On Ice: Between chart topping singles and impromptu getaways, there’s always something to celebrate. So James has been advised to always keep a chilled bottle of Mariah’s favorite champagne, plus a supply of bendy straws to help keep her lipstick smudge free.

Break Out The Silver Spoons: Mariah loves being pampered—and not just by a team of masseurs, stylists and assistants. She also expects James to pitch in by rubbing her feet, washing her hair when they’re in the tub together and even spoon-feeding her dinner! “Mariah thinks being fed by her lover is the most romantic thing on earth,” says the source.

Don’t Change The Station: Famed for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic style and mastery of whistle register, there’s no denying Mariah’s singing talent. To make sure James never forgets, Mariah demands that her tunes blare from the speakers at all times. “She loves hearing the sound of her own voice,” says the source. “She believes she’s the greatest singer in the world.”

Make It Steamy—Literally! To keep her skin supple and her nasal passages moist, Mariah made James purchase 24 humidifiers for his home, private plane and yacht. “She’s obsessed with them,” reveals the insider. “There have to be at least three going in every room…and four placed around her bed at night.”

Don’t Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em: After nearly ruining her voice with the habit years ago, Mariah decided to give up cigarettes. And she doesn’t want James or his staff to have any around her. Says the source, “After the first time she saw him smoking, she told him under no certain terms that he had to quit.”

Check In At All Times: Though the two have been joined at the hip for the last several weeks, sources say that when James can’t be with her, Mariah contacts him hourly. “She wants to try to trip him up to see if he’s where he says he is,” says the insider. “And somehow, she always has a way to find out if he’s telling the truth.” Hope he lives up to her vision of love!

[From Star Magazine]

I believe everything. This is all completely true. I believe Mariah only lets Packer bang her on Mondays. Why not Fridays? Why not Wednesdays? JUST BECAUSE. Mariah has to be prepared and that preparation begins on Tuesday and she’s not ready until the following Monday. I believe she probably hates that Packer smokes and she’s “ordering” him to quit. I believe all the rest of it too.

Khloe Kardashian: My Sister’s And I Still Call Caitlyn … BRUCE!

When Bruce Jenner transitioned, it was made clear by the Olympian that she will now go by the name Caitlyn Jenner. And while most people, including Apple’s  intelligent personal assistant Siri, make an effort to call the 65-year-old by her new name, the Kardashian clan doesn’t always refer to Jenner by her new identification.

Khloe Kardashian might be supportive of her step-father’s change, but that doesn’t mean she has to call the 65-year-old, Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce. “We don’t like to say that Bruce is gone, per se. We, my sisters and I, we will call Caitlyn ‘Bruce,’ and we’ve been told that’s completely fine,” Kardashian said during her appearance on The Project on Thursday.

The 31-year-old added, “Because on the phone, when she calls me, it’s the same voice as Bruce. And if I’m not physically with her, it’s hard to remember in the moment that I’m talking to Caitlyn, if that makes sense.”

Jenner has been chronicling her new life as a transgender woman on her docu-seris, I Am Cait, which airs on Sunday nights on E!

Chris Brown’s Baby’s Mother Doesn’t Trust Him, So she Files for Supervised Visitation

Nia Guzman, the mother of Chris Brown’s daughter Royalty, doesn’t trust her daughter to be alone with Chris — so she’s filing for supervised visitation.

via TMZ: We’re told Nia Guzman just filed the legal docs for supervised visitation. Chris has filed his own docs to establish paternity so he can fight for joint custody, but so far the judge has not ruled. 

We’re told Guzman wants full custody because she thinks Chris is simply too irresponsible to care for a kid on his own and she believes he and his friends all have substance abuse issues. He thinks it’s all just a ploy to get more child support.

If my baby daddy’s friends were robbing him and shoving his aunt in the closet at gunpoint, we wouldn’t want our daughter around unsupervised either.

Snoop Dogg Detained In Europe With $422,000 in Cash!

It’s been a tough week for Snoop Doog. We have learned that just days after being detained in Sweden by authorities, the rapper was stopped in an airport at Calabria, Italy while carrying $422,000 in cash.

The max amount of cash you’re allowed to that carry on you while flying within the European Union without declaring it is $11,010. So Snoop was carrying roughly $410,000 more than he was allowed.

“We clarified everything from a legal point of view,” his attorney, Andrea Parisi, told Reuters. “The money came from concerts he had performed around Europe. There was no crime; it was just an administrative infraction.”

Authorities took half of the money. A portion of it will be used to pay fine, but no word on when or if Snoop will get the rest back.

Naomi Campbell found GUILTY of ASSAULT!

Naomi Campbell may want to brush up on her people skills…

On Friday, the supermodel was convicted of assault by a Sicilian court, for scratching a paparazzo’s eye in August 2009. She was sentenced to a 6 month stint in jail. However, according to reports her attorney Guido Carlo Alleva, has vowed to file an appeal.

“We are appealing the ruling surrounding the 2009 incident,” Alleva told E! News. “Due to the ongoing legal process, we cannot discuss the matter further at this time.”

As you may recall, the incident occurred when photographer, Gaetano Di Giovanni, was snapping photos of Campbell with her then-boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin, as they stepped off his yacht in the Sicilian town of Lipari. Di Giovanni took photos of the lovers as they strolled the streets sight-seeing. At some point, Campbell hit the photographer with her purse, scratching his eye. He sought medical treatment, taking three days to recover from the injury.

“I had just started taking some shots of her and I did not expect such a violent reaction,” Di Giovanni told the Telegraph in 2013 after Campbell was ordered to stand trial in Italy. Campbell’s lawyers reached out to the photographer. An agreement was forged including withdrawing the charges. But, prosecutor Francesco Massara ordered the trial to move forward due to “the intensity of the charges.”

This isn’t the first time the catwalker has had a run-in with the law. In 2007, Campbell served a five-day community service sentence in New York City after pleading guilty to reckless assault for throwing her cellphone at her housekeeper. She was also fined $363 to cover the housekeeper’s medical expenses and was ordered to complete an anger management course. Arguably, the court reported her successful completion of the course. Quite probably, unless her lawyer can pull a rabbit out of his hat, Campbell could be rocking head-to-toe orange in the near future.

MTA Train Operator Charged With Murder Of Celebrity Jeweler Aron “Eric” Aranbayev

On the evening of July 19th, celebrity jeweler Aron “Eric” Aranbayev, 40, was killed by a Dodge Magnum in front of his New York City home. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene after what NYPD said was an argument over a parking space.

The driver has since been identified as MTA train operator Charles Jordan, who has been charged with murder.

“He was just being dropped off, and some guy was in a rush. They got into a verbal argument and then the guy ran into him backwards,” a witness relayed to CBS New York.

Aranbayev, who suffered severe head trauma, died Monday at Jamaica Hospital. His funeral was held on July 21.

Popular celebrity jewelry company Rafaello & Co. has iced out plenty of celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, P. Diddy and even, Jay Z. One of their more loyal customers, Floyd Mayweather, even offered a $10,000 reward for any information that would lead to the apprehension of the killer, who turned out to be Jordan.

Buffalo Bills LeSean McCoy Says His Private Party Was Not An Orgy

Remember that invitation -only party with the perceivable screening process that LeSean McCoy of the Buffalo Bills was set to have? You know, the female-only one that required IG accounts, ID’s and confidentiality agreements. It didn’t go down. For the first time, McCoy spoke about it Friday stating that his intent was taken out of context. So it wasn’t an orgy waiting to happen?

Via ESPN: "I felt like it was like a thing I do every year with teammates. It's something I bring together with teammates, but I didn't do it this year," McCoy said at training camp. "It got too wild. I should never have posted it, and I take blame for it.

"But for the record, it was no weird orgy thing going on." When asked about the proper context for why women attending the party were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, McCoy told a reporter that he had asked enough questions about the party in the news conference and did not provide a further response.

Bills coach Rex Ryan joked Friday that he wasn't invited to the party.

"I'm a little bit disappointed about that," Ryan said. "But maybe next year."

Asked if he "made anything" of the party, Ryan responded, "No."

McCoy joked about Ryan's reaction.

"He was pissed off that I didn't invite him. He gave like a whole speech for about two hours. 'You gotta be about the team! If one guy has women, we all need women.' Nah, I'm joking. He didn't say that. He didn't really talk about it," McCoy said.

McCoy said "one of his guys in his camp" posted the invitation.

"I had a talk with him," McCoy said. "We all make mistakes. I didn't think it was that serious. But I can see where people may take it the wrong way." A reporter asked about the nature of the party in context of a growing awareness of women's issues throughout the league.

"I don't see ... as far as what part?" McCoy responded. "I mean, if you asked a regular party, there's an age limit, there's all type of, you know. I think everybody took it out of context. How it was perceived. The only part I see was wrong about it was the attire. I think everybody read it wrong ... It was if any party that anyone ever went to, once you submit everything, they let you know what the appropriate attire is to wear. I'm just trying to explain what's going on.

"But that's past me. There are so many more things in the NFL to talk about."

  

Whether his intentions did not include an orgy, chances are one might have occurred.  Honestly, if one did, who cares? He wouldn’t be the first athlete and sure won’t be the last.  When you are an athlete, you don’t need invitations for an orgy, you are the invitation.  The real question is which one of the unattractive females got rejected and told?  Who did not make the screening process? Or was it one of these “The Homie Said” bromance- having cats that got upset at a missed opportunity to chill with their “bro”?  I need answers… SWAY???? 

Rumor Alert: Is Jay Z Leaving Tidal?

While many awaited the launch of Tidal and what it stood for: providing high quality sound, artist as owners and plenty of exclusives, for a fee. However, now a rumor is floating that Jay Z is looking to get out of the streaming business because he’s losing money. 

Via Hits Daily Double: Tidal has gone eerily quiet of late, apart from statements of support from Nicki Minaj andMadonna, and the word is that Jay Z is looking to get out. This ambitious undertaking has cost him millions of his own money because he never got the expected funding, he still hasn’t paid the licensing fees to the rights holders and no one is likely to throw him a life preserver and bail him out, so he has little choice at this point except to stop the bleeding. What will his exit strategy look like? Interesting to note that it’s not Apple, Sony, UMG orWMG that could be putting the final nail in the Tidal coffin, but Cash Money’s Slim andBaby Williams, with their copyright-infringement suit against the service for its recent exclusive with alienated label artist Lil Wayne.

I mean if this is true, I wouldn't be surprised considering artist are dropping like flies. Thoughts?

Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross named their newborn daughter Jagger Snow

Their little rocker! Ashlee Simpson and her husband, Evan Ross, revealed the name of their newborn daughter via Instagram on Friday, July 31.

 “We are overjoyed about the birth of our precious baby girl Jagger Snow Ross,” the couple both shared on their accounts. “July 30, 2015 Ashlee & Evan.”

"I have such a great new family so it's beautiful."

She added of Bronx: “He will be a great big brother, and he's a great cousin to Maxwell and Ace, so he's good with the kids. He shares and he shows them how to do things, so it's wonderful.”

Introducing The K.Michelle Home Furnishing Line that's NOT HERS?

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!

Is K.Michelle Announcing a Home Furnishing Line really NOT HERS?

What should be an exciting time for K.Michelle (real name Kimberly Michelle Pate) has turned into a bit of a controversy. The soulful singer — who most of us were introduced on the Love & Hip Hop franchise, coupled with her own spin-off — has announced her latest business venture, a home goods line.

She announced on Instagram:

Can’t believe this is really happening. So excited about my new home good line. It has everything from my custom designed furniture, my doggie beds, candles, bed and bath accessories. Coming to a retailer near you. Thank you so much @nicologyrules bringing my vision and passion to life. Details coming soon???? Custom orders will be available! Pick your own colors

So what’s the issue? An Atlanta area furniture company called Huff Furniture in Buckhead claims that K.Michelle’s furniture isn’t exactly authentic. One of the company’s owners wrote the following on Instagram:

They say imitation is the best form of flattery. We say it’s simply poor form especially when it’s done using images from within our showroom.

Folks if you want to actually find a gossip page you can trust, check out @spillth3tea2 as opposed to people with an agenda instead of slanting the truth. @theshaderoominc continually post half truths to suit their interests instead of truths. Repost that! #clapbackseason

This is business and business etiquette 101. Clients and friends, do business with whomever you choose. Just know, when you put your 50% deposit of hard earned money into another persons hands, you want to make dang sure that person knows business. After 59 years sitting on Peachtree, trust and believe this is not the first time and won’t be the last that people try to come for us. That’s okay and that’s the American way. Many of our followers know I’m a female and I continually support female entrepreneurship. The difference is professionalism and ethics. I wish@KMichellemusic all the best. I just wish we had the opportunity to have met before all this so I could have mentored her along her journey in this business.#SundayNotSoFunDay ????????????

K.Michelle caught wind of the furniture store’s response, and wrote another post with the caption:

It’s the lifestyle! An Upscale affordable home good line created by Kimberly Michelle for the EVERDAY ladies who desire to “Live Like A Queen” Coming to a store near you. @nicologyrules we are more than ready! Custom orders will be available! Pick your own colors! ***THANK YOU NEW AGE UPHOLSTERY for this design, and making all my other designs. *** I’m pretty sure you’ve made other beds for other companies and they sell them. Hate to upset you, but me and Huff have the same distributor. Mine will be several different colors and textures. They will be on sale soon! Sorry, not sorry.

Anywho, no details have yet been released on the official date for K.Michelle’s launch.

DRAMA! Bobbi Kristina's Aunt Leolah Brown Thrown Out of her Funeral!

Bobbi Kristina's Aunt Leolah Brown Thrown Out of Funeral After Outburst

There is family drama inside Bobbi Kristina Brown’s funeral on Saturday.

Leolah Brown, Bobbi Kristina’s aunt, was thrown out of the memorial service after interrupting she interrupted Pat Houston as she was walking up to the podium to speak, causing a stir inside St. James United Methodist Church, ET has learned.

Leolah yelled, "How dare you? How dare you?" Filmmaker Tyler Perry, a friend of the family, quickly jumped into action, crossing through the aisles to get to Leolah, calming her down before helping escort her outside.

Afterward an angry Leolah spoke to press, including ET, outside the church in Alpharetta, Georgia, saying that the late Whitney Houston was going to “haunt” Pat, who is Whitney’s sister-in-law, from her grave and spoke of the anger she had toward Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend Nick Gordon.

"Whitney will haunt Pat Houston from the grave. She will haunt her. Pat, it's not over. It has just begun. It has just begun," Leolah, Bobby Brown's sister, told press, including ET. "I have information, I have evidence, I have knowledge of who Pat really is -- she is not any relation whatsoever to Krissi -- she's not even a Houston. She's just being the phony person that she is."

Leolah also remembered her niece, telling press, "Krissi, she'll be remembered in our hearts forever. Just like Whitney."

Following the aftermath, she took to her Facebook page, writing in part, "i was unable to protekt [sic] her.. i hate this.. all i kan [sic] do is avenge her now."

Leolah has been outspoken about the handling of her late niece’s funeral arrangements, claiming in a scathing Facebook post that Pat was using Bobbi Kristina’s name “for her personal gain” in seeking donations to her foundation, The Marion P. Foundation.

This isn’t the only family drama surrounding the memorial service. A few days before the funeral, Gordon wrote an email to Bobby Brown and Pat Houston, pleading with them to allow him to attend the service.

"I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye,” Gordon wrote. "Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there."

WOW!
