Peter Rosenberg "Explains" The Khalifa Divorce

Image
I'm hoping Amber Rose gave her friend permission to out her business on radio. Peter Rosenberg spoke with Amber Rose and asked if he could reveal what really happened between Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa. According to Rosenberg, Amber busted in on Wiz Khalifa entertaining twin sisters. Amber Rose honestly would have wanted to work it out but Wiz Khalifa does not look like he wants to resolve marital issues. The rumors about Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa being seperated way before she filed for divorce is not true. Source Are we believing this story? It's plausible it's simply the delivery including the delivery man I just can't totally believe. Talk about painting a picture... Who are the twins you may be asking? Their slowly but surely being exposed ... mmm hmmm .

Happy Birthday, Cissy Houston!!

On a much lighter note, today Cissy Houston turns 81-years-young. Happy birthday to the legendary and iconic Emily Cissy Houston !!

Aretha Franklin Covers Adele's "Rolling In The Deep"

Image
The Queen of Soul stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman last night to perform Adele 's hit " Rolling In The Deep ". The song is one of many that will be featured on Miss Franklin's new album Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics slated for release in October. Last night Franklin put on a grand performance equipped with a lovely gown, a band, and background vocalists which included the mother of the late Whitney Houston Cissy Houston . Did anyone tell Miss Cissy what exactly was to be expected of her in this performance? She obviously wasn't aware that she was suppose to sing but I'm going to respect my elders here. But what I didn't know until today was that Cissy sang back up for Aretha from 1966-1969. Hell, all the background vocalist on that stage were notable.   Cissy sang back up on all of Aretha’s hits in the 1966-69 Jerry Wexler era, especially on “Ain’t No Way.” Then there was Vaneese Thomas, daughter of Rufus, si

A NORTH WEST STORY: Gone Too Far?

Image
So Kim Kardashian being the devoted mother that she is allowed her 1-year old daughter North to accompany she and Kanye West to the Paris Fashion Week Givenchy show this past Sunday. The show wasn't just any fashion show. Kendall Jenner walked the Givenchy walkway with her momager Kris Jenner front and center and we can't forget the artistic director of Givenchy who just happens to be Kanye's BFF Riccardo Tisci . The show was a big deal for the Kardashian klan. So much so Kim was inclined to not only drape herself in see-through Givenchy but baby North as well. I guess Kendall couldn't be the only show stopper... Is this look too much for a child? Maybe not Kim Kardashian's kid, but Mommy could have at least covered her ass or made more effort with her appearance other than slapping on garbs from her high end wedding dress designer leaving little to the imagination. North and Kim's boobs slayed this look but Mrs. West has yet again experie

Naomi Campbell Joins The Cast Of New Hip Hop Drama

Image
Lee Daniels director behind Precious and The Butler may have another hit in his hands venturing into network television for the first time. Daniel's new show Empire which will air in early 2015 on Fox has acquired the rights to Naomi Campbell 's acting capabilities. Campbell will star alongside Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard  on the hip hop drama with what is being dubbed a reoccurring role. The show will also feature the musical talents of Timbaland as well. The family drama is set in the world of a hip-hop empire and stars  Taraji P. Henson  as Cookie Lyon, the ex-wife of Lucious Lyon ( Terrence Howard ), the head of a record label at the center of the series.    Campbell will portray Camilla, an alluring woman involved in a steamy affair with the much-younger Hakeem (newcomer  Bryshere   Gray ), the potential heir to Lucious' throne. Tasha exercises considerable influence over Hakeem. With such star studded talent starring and producing this show one

Gina And Pat Neely Headed For Divorce

Image
Last week should have been dubbed get your shit and get out week with the news of so many well known marriages ending. The most shocking news to many was the demise of the Khalifa's ( Wiz and Amber Rose ) and/or Randy Jackson 's marriages but for me it had to be the news of Pat and Gina Neely divorcing. Now don't get me wrong, I can name about 5 things that may have contributed to the ending of the Neely's marriage from what I saw on their Food Network show Down Home With The Neelys but  must admit I wasn't expecting this news.  After 20 years of marriage as well as two spent separated   Gina Neely filed for divorce last week citing old faithful... irreconcilable differences as well a joint issued statement. Today we announce that we are ending our marriage of 20 years for irreconcilable differences. This was a tough decision, but we believe it is the best decision for us. As parents of two beautiful adult daughters that we love dearly, we will conti

St. Jude Patients Interview First Lady Michelle Obama

Image
During a visit to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis last week First Lady Michelle Obama gave an impromptu press conference where the children she visited with were the reporters who asked Mrs. Obama a wide range of questions. Mrs. Obama was very forth coming with her responses which happened to be highly newsworthy. The Washington Post has put together the five most interesting questions and answers from the Q&A session. 1.  The president is the target for most of the family's pranks, though Sasha and Malia need to work on the element of surprise . Asked whom she likes to prank the most, Obama replied, "Oh, the president," prompting laughter.  "We love to scare each other. Malia and Sasha, they always try to scare us. They’re real bad at it, too, because they’re loud. You can give them tips? There’s a lot of scaring going on." While Obama said she would take the kids' suggestion to dump a bucket of water on the president'

Amber Rose Files For Divorce

Image
Ummm, didn't I just see Amber Rose twerking for the success of her husband Wiz Khalifa 's new album about a month ago? Well something has changed. Muva has filed for divorce...I guess all isn't that good in Greenland. Amber Rose  has filed for divorce from husband-of-1-year  Wiz Khalifa  ... and she's gunning for full custody of their kid ... TMZ has learned. In the divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Amber says they split on Monday and cites irreconcilable differences. Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody of their 1-year-old son Sebastian. She's willing to give Wiz visitation.  And this is interesting. Amber acknowledges there's a prenup, which you would think would work in Wiz' favor, but she says it's valid ... presumably, she's not challenging it. The docs say the prenup provides spousal support. As for why they split, there's been a buzz over the last few days of infidelity, but there's no mention of it in the pa

Cara Delevingne Covers Allure Magazine October 2014

Image
This chick, Cara Delevigne , is really growing on. Before I figured she was typical young hot supermodel it girl of the moment who happens to rub shoulders with some of Hollywood's hottest celebs but that's sorta changing. British model Cara can be seen on the cover of October's Best of Beauty Allure magazine issue while totally nude serving model face. The more and more Cara is shoved down my throat (for work) I am beginning to notice how model perfection she is. Not only can I not open a magazine without her face representing some high end brand but she's picture perfect gorgeous. Her looks are classic of a supermodel with the distinction of her dark brows separating her from the rest. Of course the first thing we asked about was the brows. For the record, our October cover model, Cara Delevingne, does exactly nothing on the average day, except "make sure they are there." And for a big night out? "I use an eyebrow comb and eyebrow ge

SPOTTED: Kylie Jenner And Amber Rose

Image
I wonder how Kim Kardashian feels about her little sister hanging out with her husband's ex who has basically called her everything but a woman of God in the tabloids... Amber Rose ? Kylie while on her mission to stay relevant and act grown was spotted at the Power 106 charity basketball game in LA over the weekend. Some others in attendance were Chris Brown , Tyga and Karrueche Tran . While the list of attendees weren't all that interesting a potential budding friendship between Amber and Kylie is. Amber Rose: "Hunny, everything I said about your sister was true. Sue me!" j/k Loyalty, Anyone ?

Kris Jenner Files For Divorce

Image
Well this isn't really news unless you thought Kris and Bruce Jenner would live apart and simply come together for the sake of their E! reality show. Anywho, Kris Jenner jumped ship and has filed for divorce from her husband of 23-years  Bruce Jenner who she's been separated from since June of 2013 and in swoops TMZ with the immediate deets. Kris filed pro per -- meaning NO LAWYER. Our sources say this was all orchestrated.  Bruce Jenner 's response was filed at the L.A. County Courthouse shortly after Kris filed, and it was a mirror image of Kris' petition. They give the standard "irreconcilable differences" as grounds for the divorce. Everything has been worked out with their business managers ... our sources say. There was NO PRENUP and they have already agreed to a property split. Neither party will get spousal support. As for Kylie -- who is 17 -- they have joint custody. Bruce, Kris and their managers worked out the deal over the last fe

Erykah Badu For Elle Magazine

Image
Erykah Badu for Givenchy  Erykah Badu has been quietly knocking down doors in the fashion world as of late. Badu's Spring 2014 Givenchy campiagn has shot her into immediate fashionista success with Elle magazine now inquiring just how the soul singer categorizes her style. "I was raised a child of the funk era: Betty Davis and Bootsy Collins. I've always enjoyed a very loosely put together style that feels like maybe I slept in it the night before—almost hobo chic. Effortless." - EB There's nothing more aesthetically appealing than one catering to their authentic fashion sense...

Oprah ReunitesThe Cast Of 'A Different World'

Image
In late October fans of the hit NBC show A Different World will be able to see the cast reunite with Oprah Winfrey on ONW's  Oprah: Where Are They Now? . It's been more than two decades since the hit sitcom  A Different World , the first television show about campus life at a historically black college, went off the air. Now, Oprah reunites members of the beloved cast and explores how the show resonated with its audience. To this day, Cree Summer, the actress who played Winifred "Freddie" Brooks, says she hears from fans who credit  A Different World  for inspiring them to go to college. Jasmine Guy—best known as Southern belle Whitley Gilbert—says Bill Cosby, the show's creator, is the one to thank for the positive impact. "That's the genius of Dr. Cosby," Jasmine says. "He understood the power of the medium, and so he chose a setting that would influence people as well as make them laugh." Although it's obvious from the video

NY Times Critic Slams Shonda Rhimes

Image
Before we get into this read please let the record show that Shonda Rhimes is NOT the creator of ABC's new show How To Get Away With Murder starring Viola Davis . Now, NY Times critic Alessandra Stanley has once again stuck her foot in her mouth. The sketchy critic is the author of an article criticizing executive producer  Rhimes  for  the "angry black women" she creates on screen  coupled with a few stereotypical insults towards Ms. Davis and black women in general. This chick is nuts, all over the place and most of all in need of some attention in which she did get from Shonda via Twitter. Confused why @nytimes critic doesn't know identity of CREATOR of show she's reviewing. @petenowa did u know u were "an angry black woman"? — shonda rhimes (@shondarhimes) September 19, 2014 There's more where this tweet came from but let's get into this horrible display of work... On Thursday, Ms. Rhimes will introduce “How to Get

SPOTTED: Kelly Rowland + Tracee Ellis Ross + Jeanette Jenkins

Image
Bad chicks link up !! Tracee Ellis Ross , Kelly Rowland and celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins were spotted in the streets of LA after what I speculate to be a workout judging from the attire. The three beauties look to be in the process of departing one another but not before a quick chat and smiles. Although this was not a gym motivation post I am contemplating hitting the gym today now.

VIDEO: Phaedra Parks Holding Up Well While Husband Serves Prison Time

Image
It was only last week Apollo Nida went on an erratic spree before turning himself into prison to serve an eight year sentence for bank fraud. During Apollo's impromptu performance before Bravo cameras at the residence he once shared with his wife Phaedra Parks he allegedly verbally attacked her among other things. Fast forward to this week and we see Phaedra was recorded by cast mate and friend Kandi Burruss looking rather radiant, happy AND ringless while sharing a snack. I'm sure this was about more than good food and accolades to the Chef but rather an update on how Miss Parks is doing just fine. I'm simply waiting on the divorce papers. Video: Instagram 

VIDEO: Tracee Ellis Ross Raps "Pass Me The Hookah"

Image
I live for this woman! Not only is Tracee Ellis Ross a great actress she also possesses a pretty humorous side something I've become very familiar with while frequenting her website . While doing my semi-weekly over indulgence of her site I came across a video of Tracee rapping rappers  Tyga and Young Thug 's " Pass Me The Hookah " track. Trust me, this is something you need to watch. I would love to see Tracee in a full comedic role...I am beyond sure she could do it.

Jay Z and Beyonce To Collaborate On New Album

Image
After having closed the curtains on their successful On The Runpast  tour this weekend in Paris Beyonce and Jay Z are allegedly still in work mode according to sources who spoke to E! News working on a "HUGE" album. Although there has yet to be any confirmation on this news from either artist the allegations from sources close to the pair are confirmation worthy. Karli Henriquez , Vice President of Pop Programming at  Dash Radio , tells E! News the married musical pair are joining forces to put together a "huge" new album.   Dash's  DJ Skee  broke the news on-air after getting word on the collaboration from sources close to Bey and Jay's camp, adding that the album is set to be released in late 2014 or early 2015. I'm here for this latest adventure in garnering the entire entertainment world with the Carters. Now let's just hope this is more than a live OTR tour album ...and those divorce rumors aid in sales as if they need it .

VIDEO: Khloe Kardashian Responds To Trina

Image
Well not really, but sorta. Khloe Kardashian was seen leaving dinner with rapper The Game along with both of their assistants/friends where they were approached by the paps. Khloe didn't seem to want to be bothered but The Game who is always camera ready took must of the slack off Khloe until they went their separate ways. It was on her way to her vehicle where she was asked about Trina's diss that she responded very briefly and kinda sassy. Oh Khloe get it together, Hun!

Kanye West Will Not Apologize For Wheelchair Mishap

Image
Kanye West refuses to apologize for the mishap that went down in Australia last week where he was seen on while in concert demanding that the entire arena stand for his performance not knowing the two people who did not stand were disabled. TMZ has captured another video of the Chi-Town rapper in Brisbane, Australia proclaiming that he will NAUGHT apologize while blaming people like Whoopi Goldberg and Matt Lauer for doing their job he made easy . After the embarrassing incident one would think Kanye would have apologized but noooooooooo he wants us off his Christian married back while his wife defends his honor only how a Kardashian could...with exaggerated tales. "What an amazing Australian tour! Its frustrating that something so awesome could be clouded by lies in the media. Kanye never asked anyone in a wheel chair to stand up & the audience videos show that. He asked for everyone to stand up & dance UNLESS they were in a wheel chair. #JustWantedEveryoneToH

Trina Disses Khloe Kardashian In New Track

Image
In case you weren't up on your urban news, rappers Trina and French Montana were an item before Khloe Kardashian came into the picture. TMZ claims pre-Khloe French and Trina were living together in New Jersey. I guess having to uproot yourself because another woman steals YOUR man calls for you to call her a bitch on record.... “You can have that bitch. You’ll never find another 10 caramel skin with the right tan”  Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.   I wonder if this relationship and now dis record has in any way impacted Trina and Kim's friendship? I never believed in their friendship. Trina was a friend of a friend ( LaLa Anthony ). This could get good...let's see if Khloe and her sisters jump on Trina like they did Rita Ora.
