The Psychology of Color

The psychology behind color has been well documented. Red makes you hungry, pink rooms calm you down, and green is very tranquil.

Today’s info graphic does a very good job of breaking down the primary and secondary colors that affect us the most and in what ways. The info graphic starts off by informing the reader on what colors suit certain rooms the best. From there it goes more into the psychology of the primary colors, divulging a secret unknown to me. Babies don’t like yellow.

It also speaks on how companies use a given color to pull at our heartstrings and wallets for their own gain. Enjoy the infographic below and let us know your favorite color. I like purple. Have a nice day!

Nicki Minaj Cusses Out Mariah Carey During 'American Idol' Audition -- C...

Are Soulja Boy and Diamond (Lil Scrappy's Ex) joining the cast of Love & Hip Hop ATL

It’s been recently revealed by several online sources that a new couple is on board and currently involved in filming the 2nd season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.
And guess what…

Yuuup… Diamond and Soulja Boy have been confirmed to join the cast of VH1′s popular reality show, which probably means that Diamond’s ex boo Lil Scrappy and his fake fiance’ Erica Dixon are a done deal for season 2 as well.

                                                      Details below…
                                           

Soulja Boy has reportedly confirmed the story according to UptownMagazine.
The two new cast members are sure to bring tension to the already drama-filled show, for as you know Diamond is the ex-girlfriend of Lil’ Scrappy and is on the low end of Momma Dee’s checklist of favorite people.

Scrappy dumped Erica for Diamond after their daughter was born and a few years later Diamond left Scrappy for Gucci Mane, returned for a month or two and then followed the paper trail to Soulja Boy after she and Scrappy’s house went into foreclosure.
Scrappy later went crawling back to Erica and the two are now engaged (but word on the curb is that it’s all for the show and that the producer/creator Mona Scott actually purchased the engagement ring). LOL


                                             

Scrappy popped the question to Erica at the “Love And Hip-Hop: Atlanta” reunion. Momma Dee was sitting nearby with a big smile on her face.
Momma Dee has since confided in some people and she does NOT approve of Erica and that Scrappy and Erica will NEVER be walking down the aisle in real life. *sigh*
Sad thing is… I think Erica really wants to believe the fairy tale but Scrappy is allegedly still playing the field while he’s counting his LHHATL checks.
Filming for the new season is currently underway and I’m sure there will be more than enough southern drama for you diehard “Love And Hip-Hop Atlanta” fans.

There’s no word yet if Kirk & Rasheeda will be returning, but I think that Kirk         wasn’t feeling the way he was portrayed so Rasheeda may return without him (if at all). 

What do you think about Diamond & Soulja Boy joining Love & Hip Hop Atlanta? Comment Below:

Lil Scrappy arrested for Probation Violation

                                               
Darryl Kevin Richardson aka Lil Scrappy of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, posed for the above mugshot after he was arrested in Atlanta earlier today (October 1, 2012).
Scrappy even took a moment to give his fans a heads up via twitter earlier, stating:

His crime? Probation violation stemming from that incident back in 2008 where he was busted selling weed.

Details + photos from the scene of his arrest below…


TMZ obtained photos of the 28-year-old rapper being taken into custody on the side of the road where he was handcuffed.

The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star was booked into Dekalb County jail around 5:38pm today and as of the writing of this post, he doesn’t have a bail amount set.
Scrappy was sentenced back in 2008 to 5 years probation for that weed bust and was just about to round out the year on a high note, with rumors swirling that he’d signed on for a 2nd season of the hit VH1 reality tv show.

It was reportedly a condition of Scrappy’s 2008 probation that he was to abstain from the use or possession of any alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs. He was also ordered to complete an alcohol/drug education program and was ordered to perform 240 hours of community service.
There’s no word on what exactly Scrappy did that got him popped, but we know it wasn’t child support since his ‘baby mama’ turnt fiancé,  Erica Dixon, “reportedly” took him off of it.

Another day… another “rapper” arrested. Who’s next? LMAO

Kanye has not one, but two sex flicks on the market + meet his look-a-like Kim Kardashian Co-Star

                             
All those reports about a Kanye West sex tape being shopped around may be a bit too coincidental (considering who he’s currently dating) but apparently the rumors are are absolutely true!


It was revealed a few days ago that several media outlets had view the footage, which features Yeezy taking a DIVE into a look alike.
He’s reportedly going ballistic over the thought of it being seen by the public, but now there’s not only ONE video being auctioned off to the highest bidder… there’s TWO!
Details below…
                                          
According to TMZ:

The reports are true … a Kanye sex tape featuring a young woman in a hotel room is making the rounds — but what you haven’t heard … there’s a second tape and the 2 are nearly identical. Both tapes are impressively long — the first is roughly twenty minutes … and the second is more than FORTY. And we’re talking constant action. Seriously, the guy takes no breaks. It’s incredible. Almost Sting-like. We’re told the tapes were both shot several years ago with exes.

But wait… since word on the curb is that Yeezy’s tape is way better than Kim K’s, the “look alike” chick featured in the first tape may be about to get her shot at superstardom.
Kanye’s co-star is reportedly a chick named Monyy Monyy and she does look amazingly similar to Kimmy
                      

   

Sex tapes are known to turn nobodies into somebodies real quick these days, so I’m guess this chick will be the “new” Kim K in about 5…4…3…

Seems that Ye was telling the truth about his “Kim K” obsession.

Is it me or is that kinda creepy?

New FALL TV Shows for 2012

                               FALL TV 2012 SCHEDULE

  

666 Park Avenue (ABC) 
Premieres: Sunday, Sept. 30 at 10/9c
Combine the eeriness of Lost with the ruthlessness of Desperate Housewives and you get this adaptation of Gabrielle Pierce's book series. A melting pot of ABC alums, the supernatural drama stars Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) and Rachael Taylor (Charlie's Angels) as an innocent Midwestern couple who get hired as resident managers of The Drake, a tony Upper East Side apartment building owned
by Lost's Terry O'Quinn and his wife, Housewives's Vanessa Williams. The catch: The residents have all made deals with The Devil to have their deepest desires fulfilled.

Animal Practice (NBC)  Premieres: Wednesday, September 26 at 8/7c
Justin Kirk headlines this comedy about an irascible House-like veterinarian who prefers the company of the four-legged creatures over their two-legged owners. Kirk may get top billing, but the true star of the show — and let's face it, the whole fall season — is Crystal the Monkey (The Hangover: Part II, Community), who plays Dr. Rizzo. Mark our words: It will be the best TV monkey performance since Marcel's arc on Friends.

Arrow (CW)  Premieres: Wednesday, Oct 10 at 8/7c
This is not your older brother's Oliver Queen. Stephen Amell stars as Queen, aka the Green Arrow, a wealthy playboy by day and a vigilante crime-fighter by night, in a gritty, brooding retelling of the famed superhero. Queen honed his archery skills on a deserted island for five years after surviving a boating accident that killed his father and girlfriend's sister, with whom he was having an affair. He returns to civilization to take down his dad's enemies to clear his family name (how Revenge-like!). Katie Cassidy co-stars as Queen's girlfriend, Dinah "Laurel" Lance, who may or may not be the Black Canary.

Beauty and the Beast (CW)  Premieres: Thursday, Oct 11 at 9/8c
Kristin Kreuk and Kiwi Jay Ryan star in the titular roles, but don't expect dancing candelabras or even a hairy beast. Ryan's Vincent Keller/beast will have nothing more than a scar on his face, though his actions will get "beastlier," as the producers put it, as the series progresses. The show is a remake of the 1987 procedural starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. Hamilton sent Kreuk and Ryan notes and photos wishing them good luck.

Ben and Kate (Fox)  Premieres: Tuesday, September 25 at 8:30/7:30c
Oscar winner Nat Faxon joins his Oscar-winning Descendants co-writer Jim Rash (Community) on TV, playing the lovably goofy Ben, who moves in with his sister, single mom Kate (Dakota Johnson), to take care of her daughter Maddie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). Ben is based on the brother, a "Ferris Bueller-type," of series creator Dana Fox. Fun fact: Real-life Ben's nickname for his sister is Phlegmer.

Chicago Fire (NBC)  Premieres: Wednesday, October 10 at 10:00/9:00c
Dick Wolf is back with another procedural, this one focusing on the firefighters of Chicago's Firehouse 51 and starring Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney and David Eisenberg. But unlike his Law & Order franchise, this drama will focus on the personal lives of its (often shirtless) heroes. So how long before a New York Fire or a Los Angeles Fire?

Elementary (CBS)  Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c
Sherlock is all the rage these days. If you're not getting your fill from the films or PBS' series, CBS' procedural offers a modern take on the crime-solver with Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock, a recovering addict and NYPD consultant. His Watson is his "sober companion," a former surgeon — and a woman (Lucy Liu). Twist!

Emily Owens, M.D. (CW)  Premieres: Tuesday, Oct 16 at 9/8c
Mamie Gummer just loves playing doctor. Meryl Streep's eldest, who is also an Off the Map alum, plays the titular character, an awkward, heart-on-her-sleeve-wearing medical school graduate who learns that hospital life is not so much different from high school antics. Justin Hartley and Michael Rady co-star. So how long before Streep guest-stars?

Go On (NBC)  Premieres: Tuesday, September 11 at 9/8c
What's so funny about grief? Matthew Perry's about to show us. The Friends alum returns to NBC as Ryan King, a sportscaster who turns to a motley crew support group after his wife dies. How eclectic are these guys? The lead therapist, Lauren (Laura Benanti), honed her skills in a Weight Watchers group.

Guys With Kids (NBC)  Premieres: Wednesday, September 26 at 8:30/7:30c
As the title suggests, this comedy from Jimmy Fallon is about guys with kids — specifically Jesse Bradford, Anthony Anderson and Zach Cregger. The three pals all live in the same apartment building and are learning the ropes of parenting together. Erinn Hayes (Worst Week) co-stars as Bradford's ex-wife, Jamie-Lynn Sigler plays Cregger's wife, and Cosby Show alum Tempestt Bledsoe plays Anderson's wife. And the kids? Fourteen are used to play seven children.

Last Resort (ABC)  Premieres: Thursday, Sept. 27 at 8/7c
What do you get when you cross Crimson Tide with The Rock? This Shawn Ryan thriller starring Andre Braugher as the leader of a renegade submarine crew that goes on the run after defying an order to fire nuclear missiles. They find sanctuary at a NATO base where they declare themselves the world's smallest nuclear nation. (Yeah, just go with it.) Scott Speedman, Autumn Reeser, Daisy Betts and Robert Patrick co-star.

Made in Jersey (CBS) Premieres: Friday, Sept. 28 at 9/8c
Move over, Snooki! Martina Garretti (played by Brit Janet Montgomery) is a streetwise Jersey girl attorney trying to make it in a big-time Manhattan law firm. And yes, like, Snooki, she sports a bumpit too — CBS and producers have even had discussions about the height of the 'do. But we don't think she has the time to GTL all day long.

Major Crimes (TNT)  Premieres: Monday, Aug. 13 at 10/9c
The Closer will (finally) wrap its seventh and final season this summer, but it's never truly going away. Mary McDonnell will star in this spin-off focused on her Captain Sharon Raydor of the Major Crimes division. A bevy of Closer stars will join her too: G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul, Raymond Cruz and Phillip P. Keene. See? The Closer is here to stay.

Malibu Country (ABC)  Premieres: Friday, Nov. 2 at 8:30/7:30c
Stop us if you've heard this before: Reba McEntire plays Reba, who splits from her husband after she learns that he's cheating on her. No, it's not 2001 and this is not The CW's Reba. So what is different about this one? Well, this Reba will move from Nashville to Malibu to start anew. Lily Tomlin co-stars as her mother and Sara Rue as her new neighbor.

The Mindy Project (Fox)  Premieres: Tuesday, September 25 at 9:30/8:30c
Think Bridget Jones' Diary, but less British and with more scrubs. Mindy Kaling, who created the show, stars as the titular character, a single woman whose career is blossoming, but is much less lucky in her love life. Mindy works as an OBGYN, which was Kaling's mother's job, and is a shameless rom-com aficionado. A girl after our own heart!

The Mob Doctor (Fox)  Premieres: Monday, September 17 at 9:00/8:00c
Dr. Grace Devlin (Jordana Spiro) is a thoracic surgeon who has lifelong ties to the South Chicago mob. Sounds ridiculous, right? The drama, from Drop Dead Diva's Josh Berman, is actually based on the nonfiction book Il Dottore, in which a doctor becomes complicit in organized crime. William Forsythe co-stars as Constantine, the head of the mob.

Nashville (ABC)  Premieres: Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 10/9c
Ah, the life cycle of stardom. So fickle, isn't it? Connie Britton stars as Rayna James, a 40-something country singer whose star is fading. So her record company suggests she open for new teen sensation Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), and you can imagine how well that goes over. Throw in some politics (Rayna's husband is running for mayor) and sexual escapades, and you've got some Southern-grown drama. Let's just hope this ends better than Country Strong did.

The Neighbors (ABC)  Premieres: Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 8:30/7:30c
3rd Rock From the Sun had aliens moving to Earth, but it will be the reverse case here: A New Jersey family — Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Isabella Cramp, Clara Mamet and Max Charles — moves into a gated community populated by aliens. Our advice: move.

The New Normal (NBC)  Premieres: Tuesday, September 11 at 9:30/8:30c
Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) hire Goldie (Georgia King), a single mother, to be their surrogate just as she's trying to start a new life for her and her daughter Shania (Bebe Wood). The series already has the (dis)honor of being the first new fall show to be boycotted. Creator Ryan Murphy, however, pays no mind, because he thinks the protestors, One Million Moms, will like it if they watch it.

Partners (CBS)  Premieres: Monday, Sept. 24 at 8:30/7:30c
Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick give us another pair of straight and gay BFFs, but this time, it's a bromance! However, the tight bond between Louis (Michael Urie) and Joe (David Krumholtz) is tested after Joe proposes to his longtime girlfriend Ali (Sophia Bush). Don't feel too bad for Louis — his boyfriend is Superman Brandon Routh.

Revolution (NBC)  Premieres: Monday, September 17 at 10:00/9:00c
Leave it to J.J. Abrams (Lost) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural) to come up with a mythology-heavy drama. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where there is no electricity, the series stars Elizabeth Mitchell, Tracy Spiridakos, Billy Burke and Giancarlo Esposito as a group of people struggling to figure out how the technology vanished and who holds the figurative power among the survivors. We don't think this is what people meant by going green.

Stars Earn Stripes (NBC)  Premieres: Monday, Aug. 13 at 8/7c
The godfather of procedurals, Dick Wolf, and the godfather of reality TV, Mark Burnett, team up for a military-style reality series in which nine celebrities (including Nick Lachey, Laila Ali, Todd Palin, Terry Crews and Dean Cain) compete in rigorous challenges adapted from actual military exercises. Prize money will be donated to a military charity of the star's choice.

Vegas (CBS) Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c
Ready for another 1960s period drama? There are no Old Fashioneds or Playboy bunnies, but cowboy hats. Based on the true story of Las Vegas Sheriff Ralph Lamb, the drama stars Dennis Quaid in his TV series debut as Lamb, a rancher who goes up against a powerful gangster (Michael Chiklis) to help bring order to Sin City. Jason O'Mara, Carrie-Anne Moss and Sarah Jones co-star.

Miley Cyrus & Flavor Flav (Find out which singer Flav mistakes Miley for in the video)

What happens when you get Miley Cyrus and Flavor Flav in the same room at the same damn time? Pure comedy!


The two ran into each other backstage at the iHeartRadio festival this weekend and Flav was definitely excited to meet one of the biggest stars in music and as you can expect the Public Enemy man makes for a hilarious moment when he mistakes Miley for another blonde superstar.

Nevertheless the two pose for photos together, side by side. Miley serves her best duck face and gets up close and personal with the ladies man's and his clock. Find out which singer Flav mistakes Miley for and indulge in the hilarious awkwardness in the video above!

Mob Wives star breaks down in court as she speaks about her husband-turned-informant who landed her father in jail

Betrayed: Renee Graziano broke down in tears in court last month as her father was led to a detention centre

It was like something straight out of a mafia movie.

But for Mob Wives star Renee Graziano it was her real life playing out in front of her at Brooklyn federal courthouse.

She broke down crying last month as she spoke about how her ex-husband left the Bonanno crime family and turned into a government informant against her father.

Fans of the show recently watched as Renee and her ex-husband Hector Pagan emotionally discussed a reconciliation, with the star of the show telling him: 'It's always been you.'

But while the cameras were rolling for the VH1 reality series last summer, Pagan had turned rat.

Renee shed her tears last month as she watched her father Anthony 'TG' Graziano, 71, led out of court by U.S. Marshals and taken to a detention centre to await his trial on racketeering charges, according to the New York Post.

After her husband switched sides, Graziano was charged with a number of mob crimes.

Pagan wore a hidden 'wire' recorder and taped Graziano's father as part of an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration probe.

 

Speaking of her devastation over her husband's betrayal, she told the Post: 'They’re in "The Life" with you one day, and then cooperating the next.

'My son is taking it very hard. He loves his father. I won't forgive Hector for what he did to my son.'

When Renee found out her father had been arrested after an FBI raid she collapsed and had to be taken to hospital.

Renee Graziano, right, was hospitalized upon learning that her father Anthony, right, was arrested in FBI raids on a Mafia Crime Family last month

Renee Graziano suffered a panic attack and had trouble breathing after her father  was arrested in the round up of high-ranking members of the Bonanno crime family.

They were all charged with racketeering and extortion.

Graziano reportedly cut ties with his drama-prone daughter Renee and her younger sister Jenn, who created  the VH1 reality show, over the series which follows the lives of a group of New York women with gangster connections.

Graziano's ex-husband Hector Pagan, an ex-mob associate turned DEA informant, reportedly fed police the information that led to his ex-father-in-law's arrest

Despite this, and despite professing her love for Pagan on the show and saying she wanted to give their marriage another chance, she told the Post if she had known of his 'immense betrayal' she would have tipped off her dad immediately, even though that would likely mean her husband would be murdered.

The New York mob has a long history of murdering government informants.

She said: 'I would have told my father - 100 per cent.'

Pagan is now in a witness protection programme.

Anthony Graziano's daughter Jenn created the VH1 reality show Mob Wives which follows the lives of a group of New York women with gangster connections

In the latest arrests, Vincent 'Vinny TV' Badalamente, was also charged with racketeering and taking over a bar after its owner failed to pay back a debt, Brooklyn federal prosecutors said.

Nicholas 'Nicky Mouth' Santora was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and illegal gambling, according to an indictment, reports the Post. 

Vito Balsamo and Anthony Calabrese were also charged.

The men pleaded not guilty at a hearing in Brooklyn federal court last month, except Graziano.

Evelyn Lozada's Blog from Monday 3/19

I thought it was really cool and nice to see that side of Kesha’s family and for her to share her hometown with the viewers.  I believe as friends it’s important to know where someone comes from.  When I think about it as close as I was to Jennifer I didn’t really know that much about her.  I didn’t even meet her Mom until she got married even though we’d been friends for eight years at that point…Odd!

And was it me or did that conversation between Tami and Jennifer seem really fake? She knew damn well that she had no intentions of inviting Tami or Shaunie to her event.  That shows you how she really is…if you can’t see it…then I don’t know what to tell you.

And who the hell does Royce think she is, Dr. F’N Phil, with all of her opinions. Tami has been nothing but loyal to Royce and in my opinion is the only reason Royce is still even relevant. I’m just saying. She needs to be real careful with that, I’m just saying.  Moving right along…I can’t lie, I was so NERVOUS to meet with Baby. Although you guys only saw one car, he came through with 4 or 5 cars and an entourage of people to meet lil` ole me! I was honored and am so excited to be a part of Cash Money Content. The Cash Money family has been extremely supportive of everything that I’m doing, so although I feel a lot of pressure, I’m going to work my butt off to promote The Wives Association.

Remember, The Wives Association: Inner Circle comes out on June 5^th and you can pre-order your copy now on Amazon.com. LOL!  One last thing: Production didn’t show this but I wanted to mention that Baby’s daughter and Lil Wayne’s daughter are coming out with their own children’s book about their lives. I really wish they had aired Baby talking about that because people are always intrigued and wonder what their daughter’s lives are like. For the young ladies to collaborate on a book is amazing and hopefully this will get kids out there to read!

Now, on to the dinner…

The reason why we were laughing during Kenya’s speech is because that was only our third time filming with her so for her to even feel like she wanted to give a speech, shocked the shit out of us. We didn’t know Kenya from a can of paint and it was all very strange.

Oh Suzie…that alcohol is a BEAST. You know, I grew up on welfare; I had my daughter on welfare and on WIC. No one wants to be reminded of those hardships during a birthday dinner in front of everyone. However, if Suzie were sober, she would have NEVER said that. Listen, I am going to be all the way real!  We were all having a cool time and I was buzzed prior to the second toast to Shaunie, so I know how Suzie must have felt because had I been sober, I would have never given that second speech.  I’m glad I made that comment about loyalty though because being a “loyal friend” is important to me and Shaunie has been a loyal friend that has NEVER changed.

What makes me so angry is that Jen really doesn’t get it and she keeps telling people she doesn’t understand why I’m so angry. AGAIN, when you are supposed to be a LOYAL friend, you just don’t go popping off at the mouth on the radio or turn to a blog to talk crap about your friend and her man. Jen isn’t the type of person to sincerely apologize and this is where a portion of my anger lies. Jen’s thought process really is that transparent!  Because she’s a college graduate and grew up a certain she thinks she’s better than everyone else. My thing is, even if that was my situation, I would never talk down to anyone else or ever talk about someone’s livelihood or how much money they have in the bank during an argument.I don’t care about any of those things and would never attack where someone came from.

There is so much going on behind the scenes that you guys don’t see.  It may look like I’m getting angry for no reason but there is so much more to the story and I can’t WAIT for you all to see the real deal. As the show progresses I promise you ALL will have an A-HA moment and be truly AMAZED.

In spite of what was aired, we were all so excited to be at Shaunie’s dinner! It wasn’t all drama, I promise! I’m hoping on the next week’s episode, production will air some of the REAL fun we had.

Until next Monday…

xoxo

Tami Roman’s Thoughts On Basketball Wives Episode 5: “It’s Not My Job To Blog, BUT I’m Going To Do It Anyway”

This season is bringing out the writer in everyone on Basketball Wives, that’s for sure. Between Jennifer andEvelyn‘s blogs, plus the regular recap that Royce posts for VH1, we’re getting a ton of insider information and multiple sides to every storyline on the show, and for the past couple weeks, Tami Roman has thrown her two cents in on her website as well. So what’s Tami have to say about Monday night’s episode? Read for yourself. (As always, the ladies are verbose, so we have abbreviated this post and pulled some of the best quotes, but do yourself a favor and read the entire thing on Tami’s site.) Keep reading till the end, Tami definitely has some choice words not just for her cast mates but for her producers as well.

It’s Not My Job to Blog, BUT I’m going To Do It Anyway

Watching this episode made it official…it’s my turn to play the angry black woman. I don’t want to address to many things because I will see all of these ladies at the reunion and I’m much more of a face to face person, but here goes…

Suzie
I want you to pay for my next therapy session because that is what saved your life at that birthday dinner. You have a bad habit of saying the wrong stuff at the wrong time. Now, I have forgiven you for that brief glitch in your brain, but that is the absolute LAST time you’re going to get a pass. I do like you and I know you are “simple” at times, so I’m willing to put this past us.

Kenya
You hit the nail on the head and you know I think your ass is crazy, but you SAID that last night. I’m not a bad person, but I deal with people a certain way and I try to be upfront. I asked both you and Keisha to just come talk to me…you did that and she didn’t. I don’t respect a woman who isn’t forthright, especially at 30 something years old. Regarding your speech…girl go sit the hell down. That ish was crazy! You don’t even know Shaunie like that – you had been around her all of two times when you made that speech. It was supposed to be heartfelt, but you made it really awkward for her at her own party. Although, I hope they show you singing…now that was classic…

Jennifer
In the moment, your apology seemed sincere, but watching it back…girl, why you lie in my face…Sidebar: Your speech was comical. People really had to hear the whole thing because between you and Kenya, I have NEVER seen anything like it. You made a speech about yourself and tried to pass it off as something special to Shaunie. I hope VH1 releases the uncut version of some of these moments. I’m just saying…

Royce and Kesha

That little meeting in the country store – again the main crux of my beef with Kesha was edited out. In that moment Kesha said she would’ve went off on me, but she didn’t want to embarrass me. I see where this show is going and I have to take the good with the bad. Kesha will be the “edited” version of a victim and I will be made to look like the angry Black woman or the bully. It is what it is because I accept full responsibility for my REACTIONS. Other than that, NO words, speechless…I can’t…

Evelyn
Your face was priceless last night! Now here is the thing…you nor I handle things properly once we get heated….That clutch to the dome was funny as hell though. Your aim, the precision…chiiiilllleeeee.

PS- Shed and the editors, whatever Kesha is paying you, I’ll double it just so the viewers can get the truth. I can’t wait to see how you screw me over with the Tahiti footage.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Share First Pics of Blue Ivy

First Pics of Blue Ivy

It was only a matter of time until celebrity royal couple Jay-Z and Beyonce shared photos of their month-old international superstar, daughter Blue Ivy. If they wanted to, they could have certainly sold the coveted first pics of their bundle of joy to any number of media outlets, following in the footsteps of famous parents before them like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

Or they could have taken the low-key high road and posted a few family pics on a basic blog, give it a cutesy name like HelloBlueIvyCarter, and launch it into the Webisphere for fans to see.

And that's exactly what they did, posting five pictures of their adorable babe -- two solo shots of Blue Ivy, one with Mom, one with Dad, and one of an adorable tiny hand touching Beyonce's. Alongside the photos is a note that reads, "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family."

No glamorous magazine spread, no traipsing a news anchor through their nursery. Already Beyonce and Jay-Z seem like pretty normal parents. Mega-rich ones who happen to have 30 Grammy awards between them and can't go anywhere without being trailed by the paparazzi, but pretty normal still.
