Khloe Kardashian Explains Calling Off Divorce To People Mag

Image
In case you didn't know Miss Khloe has a tell-all book coming out next weeks that details a significant amount of hers and Lamar Odom's marriage. People mag is adding on to an interview that was previously done for her book I assume for an update on her relationship and marital status with Odom who has been hospitalized for weeks due to what is being described as an overdose on drugs. "There are too many other important things, too many medical things. It's not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now."  "I loved him always, and I will always love him," she says. "I don't believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don't have to be with that person in order to love him." I could have sworn I read EVERY WHERE that she was GONE if he got back on drugs yet this seems like she's only staying because he is ill for some kin...

TEARS: Halle Berry And Olivier Martinez Call It Quits

Image
After two years of marriage and a son Halle Berry and her Frenchman husband Olivier Martinez are finally divorcing. "It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus for what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life, and we hope that you respect our, and most importantly our children's privacy, as we go through this difficult period." This isn't much to many people who have been keeping up with the speculation since early this year that the couple was in trouble. From Halle "losing " her wedding ring to not being seen together in weeks.  But after a few sightings and denials we moved on. Until now. TMZ is confirming the two are splitting and for Halle's sake (and image) I pray things don't get ugly (a la baby daddy drama).

Eddie Murphy Clowns Bill Cosby During Award Acceptance

Image
While being awarded the prestigious   Mark Twain Prize for Humor by the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington DC last week (Oct 18) Eddie Murphy took the time out to make a few jokes about fellow award recipient Bill Cosby . Something he hasn't done in over 20 years...stand up comedy!! What's funny is that Murphy declined to impersonate Mr. Cosby during the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special back in February of this year. Citing that he did not want to kick him when he was done to which Mr. Cosby applauded him . Really good on Eddie's part being as though Cosby publicly ridiculed him in the past for his comedic style. However, while being honored by fellow comedians like Chris Rock ,  Dave Chappelle and Tracy Morgan last week Eddie had a change of heart. It wasn't that bad, was it? We can all catch Eddie's tribute on PBS on November 23.

Is Sasha Obama Dating?

Image
According to Hollywood Unlocked   she had at least ONE and the two went to Homecoming together. #SashaObama heading to homecoming tonight. I wonder what sort of background check this guy had to go through. A photo posted by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked) on Oct 17, 2015 at 7:39pm PDT How cute is Sasha!!!! Are you wondering what it would be like to date an Obama daughter? Well, President Obama dished on this very subject last year when Malia Obama went to her first prom. "Malia did have her first prom," her doting dad, President Obama, revealed on Live with Kelly & Michael  on Friday.  "May we ask, did she go with a boy to the prom?" Kelly Ripa asked.  The 15-year-old protective parent deadpanned, "I think this is all classified information."

Image
Although the Seattle Seahawks aren't onto a winning start this season (some fans calling for Russell Wilson to dump his new girlfriend )  Ciara  herself is still winning. A photo posted by #NuthinButLove (@purejoyrussci) on Oct 19, 2015 at 9:21am PDT Ciara is now on board for First Lady Michelle Obama 's #BetterMakeRoom campaign which promotes higher education.

The campaign will partner with major networks and social media platfor...

29 African American "Women Of The White House"

Image
The ladies were photographed exclusively for ESSENCE, September 4, 2015, in the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The above photo, courtesy Essence magazine's November issue, are all women of color who on a daily basis help the President of the United States, Barack Obama, run the country. All of the pictured women work in the White House supporting the Obama Administration. Of the 29 African American women the youngest is 23-years old and to some the most well know being Obama family long-time friend/Senior Advisor Valerie B. Jarrett (thebomb.com IMO). Let's check out a few deets on these  highly-accomplished women. The youngest of them is 23-year-old Jordan Metoyer and she is the Assistant to the Deputy Director and Senior Advisor to the Office of Management & Budget Director, while the one with the “exotic” sounding title is Desiree Barnes, 27, because she is the Press Assistant and Senior Wrangler – yes, that’s a real job....

No, I'm not doing Beyoncé but she sure does get me warmed up! #blackish #LipSyncBattle #BTS A video posted by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Oct 13, 2015 at 6:42pm PDT Joining me in my fan out over Tracee is actor Michael B.

Nothing is impossible if Sanaa Lathan is dating French Montana . Although I think she's doing him a favor on behalf of her Dad, Stan Lath...

What Does Oprah Think About T.I.'s Female Presidency Comments?

Image
No surprise to hear (for ME) that T.I. as well as his wife have tried to retract the comments he made on DJ Whoo Kid 's show recently. Tip basically said us women aren't built to be President of the United States.   “Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” T.I. had  told DJ Whoo Kid . “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But, the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. […] [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to get the Lochness Monster elected before [a woman]. It’s not right, but I’m just saying…” But don't get too mad y'all. He was only joking and som...

Drake Covers W Magazine

Image
Photographed by Caitlin Cronenberg. The art themed issue of W magazine teamed up with Drake who they deem their "muse" for the issue. Recently, Drake has become involved with the art world: He was commissioned by  Sotheby’s , in New York, to create a soundtrack for an exhibition and private sale of works by important African-American artists, including  Theaster Gates ,  Wangechi Mutu , David Hammons , and  Jean-Michel Basquiat , at the auction house. “The art at Sotheby’s moved me like a song would,” Drake said. “I saw music in those paintings. I now try to treat each single as a piece of art. I try to attach the sound that I’m making to an image in my mind.” Lynn Hirschberg:  What was it like being a muse for this project for  W? Drake:  It’s the first time I’ve ever been a “muse,” but I’m used to collaborating. Curiosity is the best part of working with any kind of artist. You want to see how somebody else’s process works. It’s like l...

T.I. Will Not Vote For A Woman President

Image
In a recent interview with DJ Whoo Kid , Clifford Harris , known to the streets as T.I. , announced that he himself would NAUGHT be voting for a WOMAN ( Hilary Clinton for now) to be the the 45th free leader of this here world he resides in. As if he didn't have shit else to speak on... “Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman,” he said. “Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Loch Ness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].” I cannot say I am shocked by any of what Tip h...

Janet Jackson Receives Rock And Hall Of Fame Nominations

Image
My ultimate favorite entertainer of ALL time Janet Jackson now has the honor of being nominated to be inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame . It's been a long successful journey for Miss Jackson , who debuted her first album in 1982, which in my opinion concludes that she is beyond worthy to be inducted into the famed. Along with Janet's nomination also came one for the legendary Chaka Khan and rap group N.W.A . Congrats to all those nominated and I cannot wait until December when we find out who gets inducted.

Tracee Ellis Ross And Kim Kardashian Play Together

Image
Ohhhh how I've missed thee. I've been writing so much for other publications that I feel like I've almost neglected home. Anywho, last week my fav, Tracee Ellis Ross , and my former fav, Kim Kardashian , were both guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was during their appearance that they were summoned to play one of Ellen's infamous games which just so happened to be " Have You Ever " relating to their mothers. Too easy, huh? Well, if anything the game was a must see and yes staying true to fashion Kim managed to shock (and gross) the hell out of watchers. No shocker there for me.

GYM MOTICVATION: Drake

Image
While running off fumes from an awesome  ACL Fest  performance, another historic moment, Drake decided to bless his cyber followers with a shirtless pic earlier this week. The rapper was the fourth of only three rappers ( Eminem ,  Kanye   West  and  OutKast ) in the festival’s 12-years to headline the show which typically does not allow rapper s to do so. It was while basking in the success of his show that Drake to Instagram to not only announce a video for his Billboard hit ‘ Hotline Bling ‘ was in the works but also that he is still very much hitting the gym working out.   Now although today is Wednesday and to you social media heads that’s #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesdays) I’m going to kick off #TBT (Throw Back Thursdays) a few shirtless pics of   Champagne Pap i showing his progress…the boy just can’t seem to lose. And maybe you too can “win’ tomorrow in your #TBT post. Drake definitely started from the bottom…are you motivat...

Nicki Minaj Scores ABC Family Sitcom

Image
Nicki Minaj is gearing up to put on her producer and acting hat in a new ABC Family sitcom based on the Queens rapper's life. Born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago, Minaj moved to the U.S. as a child. Written by Kate Angelo (Sex Tape), the untitled series will focus on Minaj’s growing up in Queens in the 1990s with her vibrant immigrant family and the personal and musical evolution that lead to her eventual rise to stardom. “Nicki Minaj is a force to be reckoned with at everything she touches,” said ABC Family’s EVP Programming and Development Karey Burke. “Nicki is an international superstar, yet not everyone knows how inspiring and hilarious her true story is, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.” Minaj, Kaplan and Angelo executive produce with Stella Bulochnikov and Brian Sher (Boss), as well as Gee Roberson. I'm sure the skills Nicki's acquired while attending LaGuardia High School, where she studied acting, and her various acting gigs like Barbe...

Meet Kylie Jenners' "Twin"

Image
Not  Kylie. Kylie Jenner now knows what Kim Kardashian must have felt like when she copied her style because she now to has someone doing the ever exact same thing to her. Let's meet 19-year-old Gabrielle Waters from Hartland, Michigan. She, by her own self-admission, has put the time and effort into looking exactly like Kylie. She even has the Jenner teen's mannerisms down pack.  Gabrielle claims that she didn't not have intentions to look like Kylie until she began being told she looked like her.  "At first I didn't actually try to look like Kylie but when people started telling me I looked like her I thought it would be fun to start dressing and doing my makeup just like she does." "I use bare minerals foundation, eyeshadow, fake eyelashes, some blush and whirl and one of Kylie's signature Mac lip liners to get my lips a little bigger." As to why she really likes Kylie... "I like how she's indepe...
