The first clip of the new season of "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" has debuted. In the clip, Ray J is seen arguing with his on again-off again girlfriend Princess Love. The new season begins on September 7. Will you be watching? Well did you hear Nicki Minaj's ex, Safaree Samuels has put out a diss record aimed at Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj. Safaree claims that he co-wrote Nicki Minaj's most recent album, "The Pink Print". Nicki addressed these claims at a her concert saying it was untrue. He went on to say that his piece was bigger than Meek Mill's. How he know? And that Meek is struggling to go Platinum. I personally think Safaree should give this whole Nicki Minaj mess a break. I thought he had moved on with his new girlfriend but apparently not. And congratulations are in order for Mariah Carey. The diva will be receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Go Mimi! Until next time people! Thanks for reading! :)   

R.I.P. to Bobbi Kristina. Condolences to the family. Future has the #1 album in the country with "DS2". It is his first #1 album. Janet Jackson's father Joe Jackson just celebrated his 87th birthday but also had several heart attacks while vacationing in Brazil. Mr. Jackson had to have emergency surgery. Hopefully he is okay. Ice-T and his wife Coco are expecting a baby! Congrats!   

I apologize for being away but as I've said before I've been pretty busy working. So bare with me because I may of forgotten what I reported in the last few days. But I did see the news that "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss-Tucker is expecting her first child with husband, Todd Tucker. Congratulations! I know Kandi and Todd have been working towards a child for awhile. And Meek Mill has since apologized after his words that Drake has a ghostwriter. Whether it was true or not, Meek received such a backlash for it that he apologized in front of his boo, Nicki Minaj at their concert. Speaking of apologies, Taylor Swift apologized to Nicki Minaj after taking Nicki's words about the VMAs too personally. It is nice to know that some of these artists can settle their differences and press on and make music. Speaking of music Chris Brown is hooking up, no pun intended with Rita Ora for a music collaboration. Chris recently went through more trouble oversea...

Trina is back with the video to her single, "Real One" featuring Rico Love. Trina premiered the single last night on VH1's "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" After Party show. She also revealed that her new album will be available in December. Dang! Why so far away though? It had also been revealed that Rico Love(producer: Usher - "Love In This Club") was executive producing the album which Trina confirmed. Being that I know Rico Love for his R&B production, is it safe to say that Trina's new album will be R&B-themed? I guess we shall wait and see.

So last night it went down on Twitter! Before that, the 2015 Video Music Awards were announced and Nicki Minaj was just one of many nominees. Despite her multiple nominations, Nicki was upset her video for "Feelin' Myself" wasn't nominated. After that the rapper went into a tirade over how "white" artists can do what she does and be applauded for it and receive the awards in the end. Enter Taylor Swift. The pop singer who is nominated in the same category as Nicki sounded off  saying that Nicki is welcome on any stage she is on and made Nicki's feelings about the VMAS about her and all hell broke loose. Before you know fans from both artists were chiming in and things only escalated later that night. Nicki's new man, Meek Mill was feeling some type of way after it was revealed that Drake hadn't shown up for Meek Mill's homecoming concert. On top of that Meek feels Drake hasn't been supportive of him. But prior to us learning all this, Me...

Congratulations are in order for Fantasia who got married this weekend. I can't remember the man's name she got married to but I guess that's not as important to report since I don't believe he is a celebrity. There are rumors going around that Fantasia may be joining "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" which to me might be a good move for her. She's married and she's always been pretty public about her life even when she didn't particularly want to. Speaking of relationships, it looks like we may have a new couple on the scene. Actress Sanaa Lathan and French Montana were seen coupling up thanks to Diddy who recorded their misadventures over the weekend. What do we think of those two together? What I will say is this, everyone is free to date who they want to but boy French Montana wastes no time moving on from one woman to the next. Trina, Khloe Kardashian and now Sanaa. Knowing these two they will come out and say they are just friends even though...

Good morning! I'm sorry for the lack of updates but its because I've been really busy with work. When I'm not working, I'm either working out, hanging with friends, or trying to relax. I'm also trying to enjoy what's left of the Summer. But have we truly had one is what my Mother said a few days ago! I agree with her, the weather has been somewhat shitty here. It's been raining and its been cooler than normal. I can take the cool weather cause I'm not a big fan of the hot weather anyway, not sticky, humid hot anyway. But let's see what I missed and what you missed music news wise. So I just read that Jeremih was arrested on his birthday for drunk driving. He was later released some 8 1/2 hours. Wow! Ain't that some shit! :( As I type this I'm currently listening to the new album from Future, "Dirty Sprite 2". The album features the first single, "Blow A Bag". If you would of asked me a year ago if I fucked with Future, I ...

Young Thug was arrested this morning after threatening to shoot a mall cop in the face. Just a few weeks ago The Game was arrested in a similar incident when he threatened an off duty cop. What's wrong with these rappers? The world may never know. Chris Brown's house was robbed while the singer was not there but his family was. Brown's aunt was held at gunpoint. The incident prompted Brown's Mother to issue a statement to those responsible on Twitter. Mama Brown is not to be played with. Personally I think it was an inside job. Chris is known to hang around nothing but a bunch of "yes men" and thugs. I think he needs to close in on his circle of friends fast! What do you think? On the the tour front, Janet Jackson has added more dates to her Unbreakable World Tour. She will be making addition tour stops in Cleveland, Dallas, Chicago, and Detroit. You going? And if that's not enough touring for you, K. Michelle and Azealia Banks is teaming up to tour toget...

What do John Legend, Justin Beiber, Marc Jacobs, and Keyshia Cole all have in common? Well they are the latest celebrities that have flashed their asses on social media, some on purpose and some by mistake. But also I reveal some other celebrities who have shown their ass and made no apologies. See what I mean when you read below!  John Legend  Earlier this week many were treated with a half view of John Legend's famous backside. I say famous because its been rumored that he's had a little enhancement back there but I can't quite remember him confirming or denying it. But it was his wife, model Chrissy Teigen(sp) who posted the picture on her Instagram account.  Justin Beiber Justin was vacationing somewhere on a yacht and posted a picture of his backside.  Marc Jacobs The famed designer was thirst trapping with someone via DM but accidentally posted the picture on his Instagram page instead. Jacobs later apologized for the blunder.  Keysh...

Tyrese who just released his new album "Black Rose" is joining the second season of "Empire". At this point who isn't joining "Empire"? But we'll take it and plus people like the chemistry that Tyrese has with Taraji P. Henson so I bet whatever way he's involved, it will be good. If that's not enough Tyrese for you, he board the train in New York begging asking people to buy his new album and earlier that day(Friday) he appeared on "The View" and serenaded the show's host including Whoopi Goldberg. And to celebrate her 2 million followers on Facebook, Keyshia Cole showed her ass literally in some lace panties before deleting it. I, however was able to catch it and didn't think anymore about it. Besides everyone else is showing their ass these days. And some are just acting asses. :) Enjoy your Saturday people and always thanks for reading! :)   

50 Cent has been ordered to pay $5 million dollars to Rick Ross' baby mother for leaking her sex tape. Do you recall the story? Funny thing is I never seen the sex tape, have you? Future has announced his new album, "Dirty Sprite 2" which will be released on July 17 through Epic Records. It is the follow up to "Honest" released last year. The album's first single, "Blow A Bag" is now available on iTunes. Drake is featured on the new album. After loving Future's "Beast Mode" mixtape hardcore I'm looking forward to this.   

2 Chainz sued! And Ariana Grande caught on tape! A woman is suing 2 Chainz for $5 million dollars after she was fired from her job. The woman appeared in a video that went viral titled, "Iz That Yo Thot" and has since received 10 million hits. The woman also shared something on her social media site that prompted her termination. But why isn't this chick suing her job? We may never know. And Ariana Grande is one rude and stuck up chick. She was caught on video saying "What the fuck is that?" when a store employee stocked donuts in a bakery. The donuts which was on full display was licked by Grande and the manager later sold those donuts to customers unaware of Grande's lewd act. If that wasn't enough Grande said "I hate Americans" and of course this has caused outrage throughout. The singer later issued an apology for her behavior. Rumors of Grande being a diva have run rampant since she's appeared on the scene and the video pretty much c...

Kelly Rowland has joined the cast of "Empire". The singer will star as Luscious Lyons mother. She will appear in flashbacks in the upcoming season that begins on September 23 on FOX. Will you be watching? Do I even have to ask? Ha! And Diddy is gearing up for his last album(yeah right!), "No Way Out 2". The album which currently has no release date features the first single, "Finna Get Loose" featuring Pharrell. The song was debuted on the BET Awards. Remember near the end of the Bad Boy reunion set, Chris Brown came out dancing and sweating like he was on a Molly! Speaking of Bad Boy, a reunion tour is being planned so be on the lookout for that. What do you think of today's stories? Now don't all respond at once! Until next time! Thanks for reading! :)

My gosh! I haven't realized that it had been three days since my last update. I've been a busy guy these last few days seriously. But now I'm back with tons of news. First, Tyga was caught with his pants down literally. Unfortunately you won't see the pictures here. But some transgender woman has come forward dishing the dirt on Tyga with text messages, confessions, threats, and most notably pictures. Tyga and his friend were all over Twitter yesterday threatening folks left and right and blaming the "devil" for him being caught. But now Tyga has been the butt of jokes all day yesterday and we can expect this to go on for awhile. If that's not enough for you Bill Cosby admitted in a 2005 deposition that he used drugs to get women for sex. This comes on the heels of more allegations from women claiming Cosby was inappropriate with them over the years. And if that's not enough for you, Kourtney Kardashian is not longer with her boyfriend, Scott Disick(...

Hey guys! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday festivities. I know I did! I had plenty of food, laughs, drinks, gossip, and fireworks! So every once in awhile we get an artist who goes on social media particularly Twitter and airs some things out. That was the case last night with K. Michelle. She took to Twitter in the wee hours of the morning to express her disdain on everything from black media to still healing from her abuse. She goes on to say how she fought with women on TV for two years who didn't believe her story and how blacks don't support one another and are always tearing each other down. Very true! I admit I didn't like K. Michelle when she was on "Love & Hip Hop" in its earlier seasons. I never disbelieved her allegations but I just hated how dysfunctional she was. I do find myself liking her a little more these days. But what do you think about K. Michelle's feelings? Do you all follow her on Twitter? In other music news, its been reported...

Greetings! Happy 4th of July! I thought I'd give you all a break from seeing my face on here then again you'll see it if you scroll down to prior posts. :) Anyway Nicki Minaj's man, Meek Mill is embroiled in a heated exchange of words with Joe Budden. The "Love & Hip Hop" star stated that he looks at Meek differently now that he's fallen for Nicki. Joe feels that Meek's once hardcore style has been softened due to his relationship with Nicki. He feels Meek should continue to be the hardcore rapper he was once and what more than likely made Nicki fall for him. I see what Joe Budden is saying and maybe he didn't say it right or maybe he shouldn't of commented it at all. Unfortunately it makes him look bitter and jealous. Perhaps Meek has softened up a bit but that happens when your in love. So anyway once Meek got wind of what was said Meek and Nicki went on Twitter to lay into Joe and soon the Barbz(Nicki's hardcore fans) launched an attac...

Remember when Diddy choked his son's coach out and got arrested? Well it turns out that he won't face charges for his assault. Who saw this one coming? Seriously I thought he was going to get in some trouble for that. But speaking of Diddy I'm not sure how true this is but I read that he is suing BET for $100 million dollars after he took that nasty fall while performing at Sunday's awards. But someone who is on the upswing is Meek Mill, fresh off his BET awards performance and releasing his new album, which is said to debut at #1 next week with 200K copies says he doesn't feel J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar lyrics speak to him. He went on to say that he feels they are very talented but identifies more with Future. Funny he says that because I'm not the biggest fan of J. Cole or Kendrick either and I actually like Future mostly because his mixtapes and beats be hot. Though it takes me awhile to understand what he is saying. J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar never really n...

So some of us are still reeling over what was the BET Awards. Now comes news that Rich Homie Quan was set to perform on the telecast but it was undecided what stage he would perform on, the main stage or the pre-show stage. When BET and Quan's team were unable to come to a decision it resulted in a shouting match and no performance from Rich Homie Quan. :( Speaking of BET, people are up in arms about Rihanna throwing whatever she did in BET President Stephen Hill's face. Personally I think the whole thing was staged since it was filmed backstage. Rarely does an award show let you even go backstage to see what's going on. I think that was all perfect timing. What do you think? And Iggy Azalea has caught some heat after she tweeted in regards to the dismal sales of her Britney Spears assisted single, "Pretty Girls". The two performed the song back a few months ago on The Billboard Music Awards. Apparently Britney caught the shade and sent out a tweet in response b...
