  • Torrei Hart And Kevin Hart, Co-Parenting 101

    Torrei Hart And Kevin Hart, Co-Parenting 101

    If there’s one person that we can all learn from it is Torrei Hart. As you may know, her ex-husband Kevin Hart recently got married to Eniko Parrish. While numerous fans want Torrei to be bitter she is far from it. She recently posted a picture on Instagram revealing just how happy she is about Kevin and Eniko getting married.

    Co-parenting can be very difficult but when you are truly over the person it is easier.  Torrei Hart could have completely ignored Kevin Hart’s new relationship but she knows that she has two beautiful children watching their mother’s every move.  Her two kids fully understand what it means to be an adult and respect their mother so much more for the way in which she has handled herself. Kevin is also being a great role model. He recently posted a picture of his blended family.

    Children have major difficulties accepting new people that their parents have rejected.  If Torrei was speaking badly about the Eniko then her children would have a hard time accepting their new stepmother. Torrei has done the exact opposite. See has fully accepted Kevin’s new wife, making it very easy for her kids to do the same.  Years from now, her kids mental state will continue to reap the benefits of the way that she’s handled herself.

    There are so many people out there that believe that insulting their former lovers new lover accomplishes anything.  It may make them feel good inside for a moment but the long-term damage they are doing to their kids cannot be undone.  Kevin and Torrei need to write a book on co-parenting because they are doing a great job at it.

    Bossip reports that episode 2 of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood featured Masika Kalysha lawyering up for Fetty Wap.  The co-parents welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Khari, back in March but they still aren’t on good terms.  Hopefully they’ll be able to get along for their daughter’s sake because she deserves a positive upbringing.

    According to International Business Times Masika recently visited Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of The Breakfast Club to discuss her current situation with the rapper.  Many forget her past situation with another very popular rapper:

    The image above is from 2013.  Kalysha is a model who has appeared in numerous music videos.  She’s also a singer who dated Mally Mal in the past.  When she was dating Mally Mal she did not know about his relationship with Nikki Mudarris.

    When we first found out that she was pregnant, Fetty Wap denied that he was the father leading some to believe that Drake was her baby’s daddy.  The two rappers collaborated on the “My Way” remix which most likely led Drake to introduce Fetty Wap to Masika.  Fetty Wap has made it clear that he wishes he never met her.  Now that his daughter is here he should probably stop saying that.

  • Edgar On America’s Got Talent

    Edgar On America’s Got Talent

    Edgar is a very talented family band competing on the 11th season of America’s Got Talent.  They are from Toluca Lake, California and feature three members: Nikki Leonti-Edgar, Ryan Edgar and Jaslyn Edgar.  Rickey reports that they are the contestants to beat in the competition.  Nikki has already performed with famous artists including Carrie Underwod, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato and CeeLo Green.

    According to Zap 2 It the family has impressed the judges with Nikki leading the way.  Go head and get your Cookie Lyon on girl! While most family groups are made up of siblings, Edgar features Nikki’s husband, Ryan and their daughter, Jaslyn.  If there’s one lesson that Empire teaches us it’s that mixing family and business can be difficult but Edgar is proving that it doesn’t have to be so complicated.

    There’s nothing like an interesting story and Nikki was happy to share her journey with viewers.  She explained that at one point, she had high hopes of becoming a successful Christian singer.  They say if you ever want to make God laugh, make a plan.

    Nikki was chasing her dream, traveling the country and she even had songs on the radio.  Then, she found out that she was pregnant with Jaslyn.  The music industry can be unforgiving and didn’t waste any time forcing her out.  She’s back and fiercer than ever!

  • Usain Bolt’s Make Out In Rio

    Usain Bolt’s Make Out In Rio

    Daily Mail reports that Usain St. Leo Bolt partied all night long to celebrate his amazing performance in Rio.  He was spotted with multiple woman and invited two upstairs when he arrived at his hotel.  The Jamaican sprinter has no shame but deserves to celebrate after putting on an epic performance at the Olympics.

    Did we forget to mention that this was his second night of partying? That’s right, the 30-year-old was in London this time around.  While he’s not quite Bob Marley, he is unbelievable but he needs to calm down when it comes to the ladies.  According to India Times he’s somehow managing three girlfriends.  That’s a fast way to get a sexually transmitted disease Mr. Bolt.

    The image above shows him kissing a woman who was wearing a Olympic branded lanyard in the VIP section of a club.  Did his girlfriend, Kasi Bennett, give him a free pass/passes after his performance in Rio!?

    Two days ago images surfaced showing the sprinter making out with a 20-year-old Brazilian student named Jady Duarte.  We understand how happy he was about winning but the images seemed planned as if he was thirsty for media attention.  We later found out that Duarte is the widow of one of Rio’s most notorious drug lords, Douglas Donato Pereira aka Dina Terror.

  • Tamar Braxton Dropped From Epic Records, Update

    Tamar Braxton Dropped From Epic Records, Update

    Centric reports that Tamar and Vince got into yet another altercation.  Numerous media outlets that covered the story highlighted the fact that Braxton recently lost her job on The Real and she was dropped from Epic Records.  This article was written to make it clear that she was never dropped by Epic Records.

    According to Love B. Scott the couple was spotted holding hands a day after their fight.  While they have a reputation for domestic disputes, it’s not fair for people to be spreading the rumor that she was dropped from her record label when she actually was not.  If you read the wrong story about the incident you will be under the impression that she is struggling as an artist when she actually is not.

    L.A. Reid eventually broke his silence, explaining that the rumor was completely false.  Tamar has a beautiful spirit so the haters will continue to try to throw shade her way.  We love how she completely ignores them and we know that they can’t stand it.

    We have been an fan of Tamar since her days with The Braxtons.  Over two decades later and she’s still doing the damn thing! We adore her dedication and we love her voice.  She gives her haters more to be mad about every day and we absolutely love it.

  • Antwon Jackson’s Death

    Antwon Jackson’s Death

    BET reports that Wendy Williams’ very talented wig stylist, Antwon Jackson, has passed away.  It’s been a very difficult year for Wendy and this definitely makes it even tougher.  The Emmy-winning stylist was only 44-years-old.  Anyone who watches The Wendy Williams Show remembers how beautiful his spirit was.

    According to Centric many referred to him as a “wigologist” because he was an expert.  Jackson was born and raised in North Carolina and is survived by his son, Dontay.  We’re sure that Wendy will do anything she can to help his family.

    We’re sure that Wendy and her team will dedicate this season to Antwon.  It’s hard to even think about the show, but we’re certain that he would want them to continue to work hard.  He was truly dedicated to his craft as proven by his last Instagram post:

    A photo posted by Antwon Jackson (@antwonljackson) on Aug 16, 2016 at 12:49pm PDT
    The picture shows some of the beautiful wigs that he designed for Wendy’s upcoming season.  If there’s one thing that we love about social media, it’s the fact that it captures unforgettable moments like the image above.  While we can’t stop crying, we appreciate the fact that we always have his timeline to look back to and remember the good times.  Antwon is gone but he’s certainly not forgotten.  To live in the hearts of others is to never die.  

  • Tamar and Vince Domestic Violence Altercation, “Fighting” “Dispute”

    Tamar and Vince Domestic Violence Altercation, “Fighting” “Dispute”

    Somebody tried it or somebody lying! Bossip reports that Vincent Herbert and Tamar Braxton pulled a Diddy and Cassie.  That’s right, the couple got into a fight and then attempted to cover the entire situation up.  TMZ posted a video of the two love birds holding hands but where there’s smoke there’s fire and we all know that Tamar doesn’t play!

    According to The Shade Room the couple’s incident took place in their hotel in Atlanta this past weekend.  We are bothered by how dumb these two think that we are.  The video showed Vincent happy tail smiling from ear to ear.  He was being so obvious and we know Tamar couldn’t wait to Solange him whey they got on the elevator.

    We’re definitely not wishing any bad on their relationship but they’ve been done since Tamar was fired from The Real.  She is too real to be with a man who knew she was getting fired and didn’t do anything about it.  the singer has practically told the world that she holds grudges:

    Again, we wish them the best especially considering the fact that they have an adorable son together, Lil’ Logan.  It’s just becoming more and more difficult to deny what truly seems to be going on.  We love Tamar because she is real with her sisters but it might be time for her to be real with herself.

  • Ryan Lochte’s Girlfriend, Images, Kayla Rae Reid

    NPR reports that Speedo has cancelled its sponsorship with Ryan Steven Lochte.  For those unfamiliar with the story, the swimmer competed in the men’s 200-meter finale at the Summer Olympics in Rio on August 11, 2016.  A few days later, he told the world that he had been robbed at gunpoint a local gas station, which was untrue.

    According to CNN Lochte and other swimmers actually vandalized a gas station restroom in Brazil and were then forced to pay for the damages.  No, this is not an episode of Scandal.  The problem here is the Olympic high that people around the world are currently experiencing.

    Here are some images of the swimmer’s beautiful girlfriend, Kayla Rae Reid:

    For countries that have been defeated by Team USA, the incident presents a perfect opportunity for revenge: “They swim faster than us, but they’re uncivilized! Did you see what their swimmers did to that restroom!?” Here’s how we see it:

    • Kobe x Colorado, OK
    • Michael Vick x Innocent Dogs, OK
    • Lying A** Lochte…ummm…?

    When you’re an Olympic athlete you dedicate your entire life to training for the sport that you compete in.  It was amazing to see how excited some of the Olympians were to have pizza after their event.  They maintain strict diets and most don’t consume alcohol.  Speedo, along with the other brands who have cancelled their deals with the swimmer are overreacting, to say the least.

  • Which Music Video Do You Think Is Angel Love’s Best?

    Which Music Video Do You Think Is Angel Love’s Best?

    The most popular Basketball Wife this season has been Angel Love.  She’s DeJuan Blair’s baby mama and Angel Brinks’ friend.  DJ Duffey may have thought that she was insulting her by calling her a video vixen but viewers have fallen in love with her.  There’s nothing like rich chocolate.  In the words of D’Angelo, “I want some of your Brown Sugar!



    Global Grind reports that the New Orleans native has been experiencing very difficult times lately.  First her brother was murdered and then her grandmother passed away.  We feel so sorry for her.  It’s hard to lose loved ones around the same period of time.

    In a world where brown skinned woman don’t receive the respect that they deserve, Angel Love is everything that we need and more.  Light skinned ladies have dominated music videos and popular culture and it’s time for more dark-skinned woman to shine because they are beautiful.

    DJ Duffey was not insulting Angel’s skin complexion but not too many light skinned woman are called out for being “video vixens.” Angel feels confident being in videos and more importantly she’s helping dark skinned woman around the world who often feel like second class citizens, behind their fellow African American sisters.  Thank you Angel Love.

    Watch The Trailer For Taraji P. Henson’s New Film

    We love Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon on Empire, but thanks to her fame due to the role, she’s also landing lots of other roles. One in particular: Henson will be starring in the upcoming movie Hidden Figures along with talented actresses Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae as the women who worked at NASA and were essentially the brains behind the 1962 launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit.
