  • ‘Empire’ Alum Alicia Keys Is Now A Judge On ‘The Voice’

    ‘Empire’ Alum Alicia Keys Is Now A Judge On ‘The Voice’

    Last season, singer Alicia Keys shook things up on Empire as singer Skye Summers, a collaborator and kind-of love interest for Jamal. This season, she is joining another TV series on another network: Alicia Keys is a new coach on NBC’s The Voice. She and Miley Cyrus will sit in the seats vacated by Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams.

    NBC aired a sneak peek at the new dynamic with them and longtime coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton and it looks like 11th season of the show is going to be some brand new fun this fall. This will be the first season that the long-running vocal competition show has not just one female coach, but two. Talk about adding some much needed girl power to the dynamic.

    And judging by social media, it looks like Cyrus and Keys are already having a blast together.

  • Trina Braxton Mugshot

    Bossip reports that Tamar Braxton manages to piss Toni off in the “Spilling The Tea” episode of Braxton Family Values.  The sisters have a slumber party at Toni’s house and Tamar decides to leave after Toni has had enough of her attitude.  We love Tamar for speaking her mind and we’re not sure why Toni overreacted.

    According to Hello Beautiful the entire family gangs up on Tamar once again.  While the main argument was between Toni and Tamar the episode left many viewers asking about Trina Braxton’s DUI arrest.  Here’s her mugshot:

    Those who have been watching the show most likely remember Trina explaining that the incident marked the first time she was ever arrested.  As you can see in the image above, they took her wig off for the mugshot.  While a DUI is serious it was great to se the sisters laugh about the situation.

    The sisters are so much better together than they are apart.  Toni knows how Tamar can get and shouldn’t let her attitude bother her.  Life is too short for grudges, especially petty ones.  Tamar enjoys being the center of attention and her attitude is what we adore about her.  Without her personality, I wouldn’t watch the show.  We can’t wait for next season!

  • Jhene Aiko Baby Father

    Hip Hop Early reports that Empire season 3 guest star, Kid Cudi, is good friends with Jhene Aiko’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Dot Da Genius.  When Aiko and Dot got married Cudi warned her not to hurt him.  It looks like she chose not to listen to that advice and is now dating rapper, Big Sean.  Hopefully Dot will get over it.

    The image below shows Jhene Aiko’s baby father, O’Ryan.  The former couple have a daughter together, Namiko Love.  That daughter will most likely be the reason that Big Sean never marries the singer.  Who can forget the rapper’s song “MILF” featuring Nicki Minaj and Juicy J.

    In the song the rapper is having a conversation with an imaginary stepchild: “You the only reason me and your mama ain’t together.” In Jay-Z’s words: “It’s only entertainment.” While we agree, a line must be drawn somewhere and we must draw that line when discussing innocent children.  We’re surprised that the singer is even in a relationship with a person who would deliver such heartless lyrics.

    According to International Business Times Ariana Grande is dating Mac Miller to get back at Big Sean.  We hope that’s not the only reason she’s dating Miller.  If she needs an additional reason to be happy she’s done with Big Sean simply listen to his song “MILF.”

  • Lisa Wu And Jensen

    Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Lisa Wu decided to leave The Real Housewives of Atlanta six years ago because she was not happy about the story arc the producers attempted to force on her.  On Hollywood Divas Lisa goes on a date with actor, Jensen Atwood, who she believes is gay.

    According to Bossip the Hollywood Divas reunion was everything we were hoping for.  Back to Lisa and Jensen: Although he had a bumper sticker on his car that proclaimed how much he loves vagina, Wu thinks that he put the message on his vehicle to hide his sexual orientation.  Lisa shows her friend, Golden Brooks, a picture of him that she finds online and Golden advises her to stop dating him.

    Back in 2005 Lisa married former NFL linebacker, Edgerton “Ed” Hartwell II.  Six years later the couple divorced.  Hartwell married actress, Keshia Knight Pulliam on New Year’s Day 2016.  Keshia is best known for her role as Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show.

    On a recent episode of Hollywood Divas Lisa explains how she found out that Keshia and Ed were getting married.  The Shade Room explains that Lisa was surprised when she found out that they were getting married because her and Keshia were friends and she introduced her to Ed.  Check out what Big Tigger had to say about the situation:

  • Jenelle Evans Baby Daddy, David Eason

    Radar Online explains that Teen Mom 2 star, Jenelle Evans, is super excited about welcoming her third child.  She’s got baby fever yet many people are attempting to steal her happiness.  People have been insulting her on social media for having three baby fathers.  The bad side of social media tends to show its face when having babies with multiple men is the topic.

    Tika Sumpter is another entertainer who recently received negative press for being pregnant although she is not married.  Jenelle’s baby daddy is her boyfriend, David Eason.  According to MTV she recently announced that she’s having a girl.  The couple has already chosen a name: Ensley Jolie Eason.

    Evans also explained that her baby girl is due on January 28, 2017.  We’re sure that she’ll be beautiful considering the fact that Jenelle is stunning and David is a hunk.  Jenelle’s son, Jace, is currently six-years-old and her other son, Kaiser, is two.  There’s nothing like having two older brothers.  Ensley will be well protected!
    David is also a parent, creating a wonderful blended family with plenty members.  The love of a family is life’s absolute greatest blessing.  We don’t care how many baby fathers she has! That’s just more love to go around.
  • Is Jeydon Wale Transgender?

    Is Jeydon Wale Transgender?

    Jeydon Wale is a YouTube star with about 815,000 subscribers.  Anyone who has a YouTube channel understands how difficult it can be to gain subscribers but the 24-year-old has figured it out.  We love how positive he is.  He not only plays a character named Hunter, he also performs amazing acoustic music.

    If you’re unfamiliar with him, check out his YouTube channel as soon as possible.  They say that a smile is a curve with the ability to set everything straight and Jeydon knows how to keep you smiling.  So many of us go through intense stress in our lives and never find an outlet to relax.  The Internet and YouTube specifically are great tools which can be used to discover the positive content needed to overcome your difficulties and live a positive life.

    Jeydon Wale is transgender.  He came out as a female to male transgender on November 13, 2016.  We love the fact that he was courageous enough to set himself free.  He was most likely worried about what people would think about him if they knew the truth but he finally realized that other people’s opinions don’t matter.  We’re proud of him!

    Similar to Justin Bieber, he was born in Canada.  Social media recently attempted to steal Justin’s joy, leading the singer to completely remove himself from the situation, deleting several of his social media accounts.

  • Merle Dandridge, Husband Christopher Johnston

    In an interview with Architectural Digest Greenleaf star Merle Dandridge explains that when she gets home after a long day at work, the first thing she does is kisses her husband.  While the show is filmed in Atlanta, Merle and her husband, Christopher Johnston, reside in Los Angeles, California.

    According to CBS, Regina King is the mastermind responsible for directing the show’s last episode, “Veni, Vidi, Vici.” In the episode Deacon Sykes wants Merle’s character, Grace, to preach on women’s day.  Her and her daughter, Sophia (Desiree Ross) attend a custody hearing with Ray.  Charity and Kevin also have a conversation about his feelings.

    We’re sure that Merle and Christopher’s life isn’t half as unpredictable as Grace’s life.  The image above shows the beautiful couple and there’s no hiding happiness.  Look at that beautiful smile! They got married back in 2011 and are still going strong.  There’s nothing like spending valuable time with loved ones and she makes it clear that she loves spending time with her husband.

    Dandridge explains that they visit the farmer’s market on Sundays for fresh vegetables.  That explains how she’s able to maintain her beautiful Hollywood figure.  We can’t wait to see her on the next episode of Greenleaf!

  • Karlie Redd, BAPS, Back In The Day

    Karlie Redd, BAPS, Back In The Day

    Everyone’s favorite Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star, Karlie Redd was recently featured on Bossip’s Don’t Be Scared podcast.  The television personality discussed her exes and she hinted at her age.  Any time her age comes up people start discussing how long she has been in the game.  Karlie appeared in the 1997 film, BAPS, starring Halle Berry.

    According to TMZ she recently got into a serious altercation with rapper Christopher Powe aka Pharaoh.  She knows that she is too old to still be getting into trouble! She had to be at least 25-years-old in the image below which was taken in 1997, about 20 years ago.  That means Karlie is at least 45-years-old which is too old to still be getting into altercations with multiple men on a regular basis.

    We do love how the series doesn’t discriminate on cast members based on their age.  Momma Dee has launched her music career on the reality series despite being a bit older than the average artist.  Our only problem with Karlie is the fact that she hasn’t owned it.  Someone as confident as her shouldn’t be ashamed of anything.

    As you can see in the Instagram post above, the issue will not go away.  She should have learned from Joseline Hernandez Shenellica Bettencourt: The truth always comes out.

  • Creflo Dollar Arrested? Endorses Donald Trump

    Creflo Dollar Arrested? Endorses Donald Trump

    He was not arrested but many people believe that he should be locked up and thrown in prison after his latest decision.  Centric reports that Creflo Augustus Dollar, Jr. says that Donald John Trump has been touched by the hand of God.  The pastor claims that God told him to endorse the Republican nominee for president of the United States.

    Cookie’s sister aka Vivica Fox, recently explained why she does not support Trump despite being a contestant on his show, The Apprentice.  Just when you thought that Trump was done he makes a power move that may earn him a substantial percentage of the black vote.  In an interview with All Hip Hop Chicago lyricist, Sir the Baptist discusses multiple preachers that have been caught in questionable acts, including Creflo Dollar.

    Mixing religion and politics typically leads to conflict.  First there’s Trump’s views on Muslims and then there’s all the contradicting theories which would lead to confusion if we continue to mix the two.  For instance, marriage is a covenant yet Donald has been through two divorces.

    I wonder what God told Creflo about Donald’s divorces and his lying tendencies.  He’s constantly exaggerating about his businesses along with his views on world events.  Why do companies like Speedo treat liars like Ryan Lochte worse than the world treats Donald Trump?

  • Is Jackie Chan Dead?

    Is Jackie Chan Dead?

    Channel Guide Magazine reports that WWE wrestler, Eve Torres loved working with Chan Kong-sang aka Jackie Chan in the movie Skiptrace which will be in theaters on September 2, 2016.  The action comedy features Jackie alongside former MTV star, Johnny Knoxville.  But wait, is Jackie Chan dead or alive?

    You can’t believe everything that you read on the Internet.  Despite the rumors, Jackie Chan is alive.  Another day, another Internet death hoax.  Jaden Smith, Chan’s co-star in The Karate Kid was recently the subject of a death hoax that claim he committed suicide.  According to Movie Pilot Paul McCartney, Tom Cruise, Jon Bon Jovi and Angelina Jolie have also recently fallen victim to the death hoax fixation.

    The truth shall set the Internet free! In the words of Mark Twain, “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” These days we read articles online expecting to be lied to.  It has become common practice in journalism and in life.  From Bill Clinton to Ryan Lochte, who can you trust?

    If lying were a job there are many people out there that would be billionaires by now.  Sadly, there are billionaires out there who generated their wealth thanks to the lies they have told.  Do not lie to people because the individuals that you are able to lie to are the people who often trust you the most.
