What Is Kim Kardashian Hiding Behind Those Bags?

Image
Kim Kardashian , along with her nephew Mason , were spotted doing a little Lego shopping. Mason was cute as usual but a weaveless Kim was seen noticeably hiding her tummy region. Could she and Kanye West be expecting baby number two or was she hiding her camel toe. Is that a baby bump or FUPA ? Dealing with these people we'll have to wait for tweet or magazine cover to confirm or deny the speculation. Speaking of speculation, I wonder who wore that sweatshirt better...she or Kanye?

Wendy Williams Calls Ciara's New Relationship FAKE

Image
Wendy Williams is the biggest hater of ALL time...and I just gave her compliment on her Ebony mag cover. I'm not mad that she is saying these things about Ciara and Russell Wilson, I'm mad she's saying it. This isn't radio. She's on nation television and needs to show respect to the people who make her show possible. No one is tuning in to hear her bash celebrity after celebrity that would NEVER go on her show. They watch for the guests!! Messy Wendy is a tacky journalist. The nose comments was a bit much but had someone else of another race said that about him then that would be in her hot topics. I've seen Wendy in person and her feet are HUGE. How would she feel if someone said they simply hate women with big feet and showed a picture of Big Foot? Wendy reported this story because its's piping hot but had to add a little shade to make her report seem spicy and exciting. No. She came out off rude. She is messy and out of line. One day one o...

VIDEO: Wale Visits Baltimore High School

Image
While most celebrities are tweeting and posting their frustrations on social media rapper Wale took his support straight to Baltimore. Today he along with Reverend Jamal Bryant spoke with students at Frederick Douglas High School following a turbulent week in Charm City in reaction to the unfortunate death of Freddie Gray . "Regardless of what's happened out here, these are the young leaders of tomorrow and they have to look in the mirror and see something better than what they're being perceived as on TV,"  Wale  said. "We need each other. We need our community leaders to come step forward and we need these kids to understand that somebody believes in them. I believe in them, Jamal believes in them and there's a lot of people in this community that believe in these kids."  Source

CONFIRMED: Russell Wilson And Ciara Attend White House Dinner Together

Image
Russell Wilson was accompanied by Ciara last night at the White House State Dinner honoring the Japenese Prime Minister and his wife and the two made it no secret that they were in fact together. The two looked beautiful but Ciara was noticeably glowing in a champagne gown with her hair bone straight. Photos: Oliver Douliery   I don't know why I am so happy for Ciara in this situation. Russell seems like a real gentleman and Ciara always seems to catch slack for ANYTHING she does but this situation seems right for now.  This is some kind of introduction...at the White House!! We shall see...you see how CiCi went for his arm!!  Source

Raven Symone Heading To 'The View'?

Image
According to Page Six she may... ABC chiefs are desperately trying to sign Raven-Symoné as a host of “The View” before their upfront presentation May 12 in New York. Sources say the former child star of “The Cosby Show,” Disney Channel actress and, more recently, “Empire” cast member was a hit when she guest-hosted the daytime show in March, alongside Whoopi Goldbergand Rosie Perez. An ABC source told us, “She was interesting and provocative. Raven would be great as a regular host.” Her reps didn’t get back to us. I honestly think ' The View ' should pull the shades down on their entire platform but now I'm second guessing that idea with the rumors of Raven Symone becoming a host. Now I still won't watch, I simply think it's a great move for Raven. She's talented, rich, beautiful and most of all a young woman. I think this could be a career changing move for her in the FUTURE. Would you watch?

VIDEO: Russell Wilson Doesn't Deny Dating Ciara?

Image
Seahwaks quarterback Russell Wilson was spotted a sporting event with Ciara last week and although they're not claiming one another they are definitely naught denying one another either. While doing press over the weekend at the White House Correspondents' Dinner , with his beautiful Gramdmother on his arm, Wilson kind of didn't deny that he was dating Ciara. I think they are dating and what better way to get some press for Ciara's new album Jackie dropping next week (May 4). Go Cici !!

Mariah Carey Disses Nick Cannon In New Track?

Image
Just when you already thought Mariah Carey was beyond being anymore off the hook she releases a diss track dedicated to her ex-husband Nick Cannon . IMO Carey's new track " Infinity " is simply reiterating what others have been saying for years about Nick but what I don't get is why she came out with it NOW? I've seen her Nick with their kids for dinners and even recent holidays ...what's the beef now?  Could this all be a publicity ploy? I mean she's thirsty enough at this stage in her career and well...Nick is corny and about his paper. Can we seriously rule out publicity? Like really get into these lyrics and the song.

Wendy Williams Gets Gorgeous For The Cover Of Ebony Mag

Image
Who is this woman and what has happened to Messy Wendy ? Wendy Williams is a prime example of how a quick zip of the lips can make a world of a difference in not only your personality but appearance as well. This is by far Wendy's best look ever . Maybe it's Ebony's glam squad, some airbrushing and that fact that she is not talking which makes this look timelessly gorgeous either way it's GORGEOUS. Do I even want to know what she is talking about in this mag? Nope. Let's not ruin a good thing... You can grab Wendy's May cover issue this Friday, April 24.

PEOPLE's 2015 World's Most Beautiful Women List Includes More Shades Of Brown

Image
PEOPLE  magazine is at it again infiltrating their warped opinions on us faithful readers nominating Sandra Bullock as their 2015 World's Most Beautiful Woman . Now I'm not saying that Sandra does or doesn't fit the bill but I will say anything that involves an opinion is debatable. CLIFF WATTS Anywho, who pays attention to this crap anyway? Me!! Well now I am, now that three brown beauties (that I happen to like very much) have made the coveted Most Beautiful list. Those beauties are Taraji P. Henson (of course), Laverne Cox and Gabrielle Union . Allen Cooley Management Artists Brian Bowen Smith/AUGUST Although the above photos were from a few of sneak peeks Tracee Ellis Ross ' picture was not featured but she was featured in a video that has been released on PEOPLE's site under World's Most Beautiful 2015 ....did she or at least her hair make it? I'm not saying that I simply agree with their positions on the list becau...

UPDATE: Cissy Houston Issues Statement About Bobbi Kris

Image
Over the weekend Bobby Brown stated that his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown had awakened from the comma she had been in since late January of this year. NOW, Whitney Houston 's mother, Cissy Houston , is singing another tune. "I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors she has global and irreversible brain damage and remains unresponsive," the mother of the late Whitney Houston said in a statement obtained by E! News. "Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me," Cissy added. "We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time. Keep us in your prayers." Although most of the Internet feared Bobby was wrong all along I wanted to believe him. Now I just don't know what to believe. It's obvious the Browns and Houstons aren...

Erica Mena And Bow Wow Share Their Living Arrangements

Image
Look at the Reality Gawds ... Erica Mena and Bow Wow (can I write that) lawfully know n as Shad Moss made it to the pages of People magazine were the engaged couple talked about their life together. Including how the two not only share their home, hopefully, with Mena's young son but also Bow's own mother as well. Hmph... While some 28-year-old guys might not be too crazy about still living with their mom,  Bow Wow —who now goes by his given name Shad Moss—wouldn’t have it any other way. “It just makes sense,” the actor tells PEOPLE of the 8-bedroom Atlanta mansion he shares with  fiancée Erica Mena , 28, and his mother Teresa Caldwell. “First of all the house is too big, but I want to make sure my mom is comfortable forever.”

FYI: Big Sean And Ariana Grande Call It Quits

Image
It's only been eight months since rapper Big Sean got together with pop singer Ariana Grand e. The pair basically shoved themselves down our throats with their relationship only to break up so soon. Ariana Grande  and  Big Sean  are breaking free. The fan-favorite couple have split after eight months of dating, their reps confirm exclusively to  Us Weekly . “They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends,” their reps tell  Us  in a joint statement. “We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time." Insiders close to the two say they very quietly and amicably ended their relationship a few weeks ago. “They made the decision to part ways because their conflicting touring schedules would keep them apart over the next year,” one source tells  Us . The “Love Me Harder” singer, 21, and the “Control” rapper, 27, first confirmed they were a couple back in October 2014. In the months...

VIDEO: Bobbi Brown Confirms His Daughter Is Awake

Image
:  According to Bobby Brown over the weekend during a performance in Texas, his daughter he shared with Whitney Houston , Bobbi Kristina , is responsive and awake. The singer even stated that she was watching him perform. Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames.    Since January 31 Bobbi Kris has been in a coma. The is the first (and hopefully more) sign of great news for this young woman. I pray what Bobby is saying is honestly true although no official statement has been released since his claims on Saturday night. Source

YAY OR NAY: Vivica A. Fox To Join The Cast Of 'Hollywood Divas'?

Image
Aren't we a little early ending Vivica A. Fox 's career? I'm not a fan of the Diva franchise so I don't tune in too often but I must admit I can't imagine Vivica on this show. I will say I have to agree with much of what Wendy Williams said last week about the subject...except I know Vivica was not in ' Pulp Fiction '. 6:00 MARK I think she meant ' Kill Bill '... Anywho, although I think Vivica isn't quite an A-lister by Hollywood standards but I must say she is urban cinema royalty in a way. Before the cosmetic surgeries and Curtis Jackson , Aunt Viv was hott shit on our screens. I do think reality shows lik the Divas are sorta the last stop before you're done officially and I don't think Vivica is there yet. PLUS all these women do is argue and try to outshine one another. It's not like they're all breaking the box office on the regular. And speaking of the box offices, Vivica is gearing up for ' Indepen...

NEW COUPLE ALERT: Ciara And Quarterback Russell Wilson?

Image
Instagram  Over the weekend two unlikely recently separated celebrities were spotted at a Mariners game in California. Hopefully you read the title... It's being speculated that the woman to the right of Seattle Seahawks quarterback  Russell Wilson at yesterday's ball game was none other than Ciara . . @DangeRussWilson trying to be incognito at the @Rangers - @Mariners game. pic.twitter.com/JKu2iknBXO — MLB (@MLB) April 19, 2015 I think this is a good connection for these two. Judging from the above photo Ciara posted yesterday and the forehead to the right in Wilson pic I will have to say these two at least sat by one another at the Mariners game. Wilson divorced last year while Ciara became a Mommy and called off her engagement to rapper Future . We shall see how this pans out... Source 

Tyrese Joining The Cast Of 'Empire'?

Image
As if I needed another reason to watch Empire Tyrese Gibson 's annoying ass just may join the cast. TMZ caught the actor, who seemed a little buzz, and quizzed him on the "idea" of him joining the cast of Empire to reunite with his friend and one time on-screen love interest Taraji P. Henson . According to Tyrese she is with the idea!! Tyresre is a mess. In other words, if people keep bringing up his name and Empire in the same sentence he is bound to get on and he's been ready since yesterday. I will admit that I find Tyrese equally annoying as I do attractive and although this Jody and Yvette thing is starting to get old I would really like to see these two on the screen again. BUT only on Empire .

NEW VIDEO: Jay Z "Glory"

Image
Three years after Jay Z recorded the song "Glory" in honor of his babygirl Blue Ivy the rap mogul is now releasing visuals to the touching song. The visuals are actually footage from the rehearsals and prep for his 2012 Carnegie Hall charity concert. In the video you can also witness Jay showing off what one could only believe to be pictures of Blue to friends like Nas and Alicia Keys . BTW, Jay Z released the video via his new streaming service TIDAL ... new rules. Jay Z has been taking a unique approach to customer service for his music streaming service Tidal. Tidal executive Vania Schlogel told Business Insider that Jay Z has been personally calling people who use the site. Schlogel said that "he called some of his fans and one of them made the funniest comment. He said 'This is the best customer service call I’ve ever received!'" But it isn't just Jay Z who has been calling Tidal subscribers. Jack White and several other high-...

Kanye West Covers TIME Magazine As "Most Influential"

Image
Now we already know  Kanye West may think he is thee most influential human beings in the entire world but according to TIME mag he is one of 100...Look at God!! I'm sure Kanye got this "I woke up like this" cover out of pure aggravation and high self worth. TIME probably didn't want their 100 Most Influential People issue overshadowed with a bunch of Kanye rants stating how he should have made the cover in true Kanye fashion. Just kill two birds with one compliment. Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is role models: we rap, ...

Nicki Minaj And Meek Mill Plan To Wed

Image
It's official Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill are ENGAGED!! After a whirlwind relationship of about all of two weeks and a world tour with the recently back on the market Minaj and recently released from jail Mills, who didn't see marriage in the air for the twosome? Nicki confirmed the news via Instagram with a stunning heart shaped engagement ring. 💛💎💍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🙈 💛 A photo posted by Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) on Apr 15, 2015 at 4:13pm PDT I'm not even going to seem like a hater and state the obvious...I'll just say that ring is a beauty. "This looks like a 15-carat fancy yellow heart modified brilliant cut diamond mounted in platinum with a double halo of white pavé diamonds," Morgan Shara of MASbisjoux jewelry told E! News . "This would retail for approximately $50 0,000..." However, I will state that this union seems way to convenient including the tour, album guest appearances and not to mention Nicki just bro...

Taraji P. Henson To Pen Memoir?

Image
It's sounding like it!! Taraji P. Henson has always been haute shit to me (and it doesn't hurt that she is a DMV local) but it looks like the masses didn't catch on until Empire but that's cool... we she'll take it. Anywho, with her first stint as a host on Saturday Night Live over the weekend Taraji has finally arrived (to the masses) and with appearance now there's talks of a memoir according to USA Today. The 37 INK/Atria Publishing Group announced Thursday it will publish the as-yet-untitled memoirs by the Oscar-nominated Henson, whose role as the scenery-chewing, finger-wagging Cookie has made her a breakout star of the hit Fox series. I really pray folks aren't thinking Cookie Lyon is writing a book nor that Taraji's life is anything like that... Go, Taraji!! source

GYM MOTIVATION: Nike New Releases

Image
Why does it have to cost so much to look soooooo cute while working out? Check out the newest styles for the ladies that will have all heads turning while we stay fit. I not only want to go out and rob a Nike store but I also wouldn't mind hitting up the gym now. I don't know about y'all but I'm motivated!! And all jokes aside, half this stuff I wouldn't even dare workout in...straight ripping the runways of my local grocery store or favorite Tarjay . To see my styles head on over to Nike .

VIDEO: Madonna Takes Advantage Of Drake With Kiss

Image
Coachella ALWAYS makes for great newsworthy posts but I'd never think a mature pop star would attack a rap artist on stage as I witnessed  Madonna do to  Drake . Hold your lunch!! That mouth to mouth action must have tasted like Geritol. I've never seen Drake turn down his attention in the manner. He was flailing like a fish outta water or better yet like he was being molested by a dolphin!! Who's THAT girl ? And when did Madonna become so thirsty? I bet Drizzy was in on this (a la JT style). He did kinda start it...

SECOND TIME AROUND: Tina Knowles And Richard Lawson Wed

Image
Word on the gossip circuit via the TMZ is that Tina Knowles , the mother of Beyonce and Solange Knowles , has married for a second time actor Richard Lawson . The news isn't that much of a surprise being as though Lawson has been seen quite a few times toting Tina on his arm since 2013 and TMZ has what appear to be pictures of the wedding attendees on a yacht in Newport Beach, California yesterday (April 12).  If the fashion looks a familiar they too wore all white to Solange's wedding back in November of last year. Congrats to theses two youngsters...I think Miss Tina may have a type!! Cliff Watts Tina was a gorgeous bride in  Romona Keveza  while Richard...Richard looked dayum good.
