Ashanti To Star In Lifetime's "Army Wives"
On Sunday, March 10th, you can watch Ashanti make her television (acting) debut on the Lifetime network's "Army Wives". Ashanti will play a character by the name of Latasha Durant, a wife and mother of three.
Now I have to admit that the Lifetime network is not something I watch, but a lot of my friends swear by the network on Sundays!! So is this something I might want to watch? Maybe. However, I am curious to find out just how good Ashanti's acting skills are......and the nosey part of me wants to know if she's a better actress than Tae Heckard.
Now what say you?

Girl Group Beef: Kandi Burruss & La Tocha Scott Of R&B Group Xscape Point Fingers At Each Other
Xscape used to be one of my fave girl groups of the 90′s when they were out. I don’t know what happened. But, I do know that I’ve heard several interviews from Kandi saying “she would never do Xscape again and how she loved her group when they were out” and then you’ve heard La Tocha say “It was Kandi that broke-up the group and won’t come back to do another album.” It was just messy and one word against the other. See this is what bothers me…. Male groups can break-up for years and come back to do a reunion album, tour, etc, etc but these damn women…. OUCH!!!
Anywhooo… As you all know Jermaine Dupri who was the mastermind behind Xscape celebrated his 20th anniversary of So So Def last weekend and not present was Kandi & Tiny. Rapper, Bow Wow had a few words and shade to throw at Kandi for not showing up and he voiced that openly.
La Tocha Scott was heard oozing teas on “Egypt Says So” and she said:
“My thing is the only unfinished business I can think of is the fact that we didn’t go onto the other albums that we were supposed to do. Other than that, I don’t understand where the unfinished business comes in at. I don’t know what she’s talking about.[...]We talk. I mean times you know…we kind of spread out. Everyone found out what life was like outside of the group so I don’t know. You know when she says unfamiliar business, I would have to talk to her.”
“I would love to do a reunion with Xscape. Why not?[...]I think we owe it to the fans, to the people. They put us all here. You know we’re successful and people were calling us because of what the fans allowed us to do and that’s the scene. You know the universe opened up for us in ’93. We were able to sign to So So Def very early on. We worked hard and to be here now, it’s like 20 years later, who can even say that?”
“Personalities clashed back in the day. We really didn’t have that person to say listen, you guys are sisters, ya’ll try to pull it together. Young, naïve, and everybody just felt we could do better on our own. We had been traveling years and years. It was like a marriage. Everyday you see Xscape. You wake up to Xscape. You go to sleep to Xscape. So I just think everybody was at the point where it was time to move forward in our own direction.”
“I don’t know why people want to continue to hold on to the negative. I think we’ve all progressed in life, you know, everybody’s doing their thing. Big ups to Tiny and Kandi for standing in their lane with the television show. It’s great for them. And I just don’t understand why we have to keep going back to the negative. I want to move forward. I want to see 20 years, you know what I’m saying? This whole 20 year reunion is big for me, but to say you’re not going to do it because you feel like we have unfinished business is…I don’t want to say it’s insulting to the fans, but it’s like come on, it’s not even about that. Let’s get out of self and let’s think about what we did for music.”
And Kandi who was on the cover of ‘Sister to Sister’ with her new beau/fiance Todd had this to say about Xscape:
I’m just going to be honest and tell you, I don’t feel like all the members of my group, they don’t really have love for me like that. Tiny has love for me, but over the years people have told flat-out lies about me in public, dogged me, blamed me for everything that done went wrong in their life. To me, it’s just a situation where I feel like I don’t want to go back to that.
To this day now, I have to see people try to say that I had sex with Jermaine’s father. She said that just to make me look bad to people. She came back to apologize to me, but she never apologized in public. It’s not true. It was a flat-out lie. When people do stuff to try to damage you or bring you down to the public, that’s hateful.
That’s just not something I want to revisit.
Well what do you think about this mess??? Do you want a NEW Xscape album, Kandi included??

Madonna & Nicki Minaj Boost Live Nation Revenue To $5.8 Billion
One’s a Pop Queen guiding the path of her genre with an ambitious hand and undying influence.
The other…a sassy Rap Queen kicking dust in the face of convention with every trans-genre record she and her collection of ‘characters’ break. Together, they have aided Irving Azoff’s ‘Live Nation’ in generating a sweet $5.8 billion in the year 2012, thanks to their respective world tours and dealings with the company.
Details below…
In the last year, the company’s revenue rose by 8.1% to bring its combined revenue to $5.8 billion, while its operating income jumped by 4.8% to $459 million- helped in part by Madonna’s ‘MDNA Tour’ and Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday Tour’.
Generated by a boost in concert ticket sales, sponsorship and advertising revenue, the company did so in the face of the decline of North American concerts (down 3.7%) but a rise in international concerts. A rise, to the tune of 16.8 million attendees to be precise.
One of these shows, being the Nicki’s aforementioned ‘Pink’ outing, which served 41 shows across Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. A tour, that proved so successful that demand saw the Rapper launch a second world tour within the same year, billed the ‘Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour’.
Boasting three legs, the show generated a cool $1,116,140 from a single night played at London’s 02 Arena which boasts a capacity of 20,000 seats- all of which sold out within hours of the tour’s tickets becoming available for purchase.
Sheree Whitfield Files Restraining Order Against ATL Blogger
It’s pretty lengthy, but the Courthouse News Service reports:
Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Sheree Whitfield sought a protective order against an Internet blogger she claims is stalking her. Whitfield filed a “Petition for Stalking Temporary Protective Order” against Tamara Kay Brawner, in Fulton County Superior Court. She claims Brawner harasses and stalks her, showing up at the construction site of her home, snapping photos and blogging about it all. According to her complaint: “In October 2011 the respondent commenced an online blog about the petitioner’s home titled ‘Chateau Sheree,’ giving the online world a play-by-play of the construction progress of the petitioner’s home.
The respondent then commenced additional online blogs regarding the petitioner’s legal proceedings, the petitioner’s business label, and delays in the petitioner’s home construction, the demise of the petitioner’s reality television career, and other disparaging remarks.” Whitfield says in her complaint: “Between October 2011 and February 2013, the respondent came onto the petitioner’s property and took pictures which the respondent subsequently posted to her online blog. On 2/18/2013 the respondent gained access into the petitioner’s home, without the petitioner’s consent.
The respondent collected photographs of the petitioner’s home and has also posted a detailed narrative of the floor-plan of the interior of the petitioner’s home.” Whitfield claims Brawner described the interior of her home in a blog posted on Feb. 18. ”On other occasions, respondent spied on me without my consent in order to harass or intimidate me and respondent transferred information about to others without my consent knowing that they could harass or intimidate me with it and similar events may occur in the future,” the petition states.

So what is the ATL blogger’s response? Reportedly, her lawyer released a statement, saying:
“We believe this order to be completely baseless and look forward to defending against it and, ultimately, having the entire action dismissed at the upcoming hearing in the matter,” the email states. “There has been no ‘stalking’ or any illegal conduct on behalf of my client and we believe that will be more than evident when my client has her day in court.”
Wow. Too bad we couldn’t watch this unfold on RHOA. And in more RHOA drama,
'She looks like a glorified hooker!' Real Housewives' Kenya Moore says Honey Boo Boo is not a good role model
'Like a hooker': Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kenya Moore has lashed out at Honey Boo Boo
She’s become known for speaking her mind ever since joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
And when it comes to commenting on the stars of other reality shows, Kenya Moore doesn’t hold back.
The former Miss USA says Honey Boo Boo is not a shining example of a pageant queen and shockingly even compared the seven-year-old to a prostitute.
The 42-year-old told In Touch magazine: ‘Honey Boo Boo is not a role model for young women.
‘Her mother [June Shannon] puts her onstage looking like a glorified hooker!’
Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana, shot to fame on the documentary Toddlers And Tiaras and later got her own spinoff title Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Showing her life taking part in child beauty pageants as well as her downtime in Georgia, the TLC network episodes have come under much scrutiny for its vulgar content.
Kenya - who won Miss USA in 1993 - thinks mothers like Honey Boo Boo’s June should be aware that the contests are not just about winning a prize.
She went on: ‘Pageants are about having poise and promoting self-esteem and self-worth. When a little girl wears a lot of makeup, fake teeth and extensions, like hookers do — that’s just not appropriate.’
Kenya is not the only famous face to attack the youngster and her relatives.
While the series is loved by celebrities such as Rosie O'Donnell, Miley Cyrus, Anderson Cooper and Tina Fey, Adam Levine spoke against it in December.
The 33-year-old Maroon 5 singer told GQ magazine: ‘"Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn't mean it's good.
‘So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away from them, but that doesn't mean they're good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That's. Ever. Happened.
In Case You Didn't Know....Ne-Yo Was MARRIED Years Ago
Ne-Yo was spotted leaving out of Supperclub in L.A. this week when he revealed to TMZ paps a little secret. He used to be married...11 years ago!
In a random impromptu chat with a paparazzo, Ne-Yo was asked if he'd ever been married before (likely because some reports keep stating he and Monyetta Shaw are married when they're in fact, still engaged).
Ne-Yo quickly said no then remembered a little-big thing from his past. He DID get married over a decade ago. And they got an annulment because it lasted less than a year.
He said they called it off because he wanted to work toward a singing/writing career, and she wasn't feeling it.

Damn...how unforgettable was THIS chick...
Taraji P. Henson Is An Angel For Animals In New Peta Ad
As winter’s cold temperatures continue across the U.S., award-winning actor Taraji P. Henson is heating things up with a steamy new PETA campaign, in which she appears dressed in a short gossamer gown and a pair of synthetic, cruelty-free wings next to the words “Be an Angel for Animals.” The ad, which was shot by top celebrity photographer Don Flood, goes on to stress that “chained dogs suffer day in and day out. They are cold, hungry, thirsty, vulnerable, and lonely. Keep them inside, where it’s safe and warm.”
As part of the PETA winter campaign, Henson also appeared in a video that encourages people to sponsor PETA doghouses for dogs in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina—where some dogs have no shelter at all—and sat down for an exclusive interview, in which she opened up about her costar in the campaign, her beloved dog, Uncle Willie. “I never thought that I could be so in love with an animal until I had Willie,” she says. “He’s our family. … He’s just the best companion. Dogs to me are like children … they’re the closest thing to God. They’re so pure in their love, and all they do is aim to please.” Henson also discusses her rewarding experiences volunteering at animal shelters with her son.
Kris Jenner’s A DRUNK!
It looks like the past month of non-stop scandal is totally catching up with Kris Jenner. If you’ve watched her on Keeping Up with the Kardashians then you already know that Kris likes a glass (or bottle) of wine with dinner and there have been times when, even on camera, she has appeared drunk. Once or twice falling down drunk which is always fun to watch. 2013 has already been very unkind to the momager. Her ex husbands diaries were handed over to the press, detailing what a truly sh*tty mother Kris was when her kids were young. Her marriage to Bruce Jenner is hanging by a fraction of a thread thanks in part to infidelity rumors. Then there’s that bombshell that O.J. Simpson might actually be Khloe Kardashian’s real dad.
Then there’s the family business. Kris’ three oldest daughters are busy leading their own lives and no longer quite as anxious to put every second on display for the following cameras. This seems to have led Kris to pimp out her teen daughters to ensure that the money keeps rolling in. It’s just one more thing that she has taken heat for and when you roll all of that together, she’s a wreck and rumored to be hitting that bottle really hard. According to a source for Perez Hilton,
“She sometimes drinks at work and in the morning, and she always jokes about having her vodka and wine ready for her when she arrives at an event or at home … she’ll open a bottle of wine in the middle of the day and pour half a bottle in a giant glass and slug from it.”
Well, when I have seen Kris need assistance on camera because she is too drunk to maneuver around I can absolutely believe that now that things have gotten rough she’ll liquor up even more. My question is this: Why doesn’t she pimp out her own sordid problems to the highest bidder for exclusive coverage? She has no problem throwing her kids under the bus and making everything public, but there seems to be a double standard in place when it comes to her!
Do you believe that this lush will be packing a bag and heading off to rehab before the year ends?
Father Kidnaps Seven Children
Police believe the seven children who vanished from their Fresno, Calif., home on Saturday were taken by their estranged father.
Ranging in age from 5 to 12, the kids were left at home while their mother and stepfather went to a grocery store, according to the Fresno Police Department.
Police believe that their biological father “picked up all of the children.” He was identified as Xa Yang and is thought to live in Sacramento, about 170 miles north of Fresno.
Neither authorities nor the children’s mother had been able to contact the father, who had not been involved in the children’s lives “for at least three years,” according to a police statement.
Because the seven children, along with their belongings, were removed from an apartment complex in the early evening without any apparent commotion, investigators do not suspect foul play.
There was no immediate concern for the children’s safety, police said.
While they have not issued an “Amber Alert,” which are normally issued in suspected abductions, police are seeking the
public’s help.
Anyone with information can call Detective Josh Mendizabal at (559) 621-2499 or (559) 621-7000.
Sean “Diddy” Combs Launches Aquahydrate
Sean Combs along with actor Mark Wahlberg announced a joint venture with Southern California-based fitness and wellness water brand, AQUAhydrate. Puff and Mark Wahlberg will oversee business strategy along with CEO John Cochran, formerly President of Fiji Water.
“He stalked me for my water bottle — Diddy used to see me everywhere carrying this water bottle. I’d usually have three or four of them with me,” explained Marky Wahlberg. “The first time he saw me was in Vegas and he’d ask ‘what’s this blue bottle’ and I wouldn’t tell him. So finally he got it. He was very persistent. Soon after that he became my partner.”
Did Ice T’s Wife Coco Buy Her Sidepiece A Brand New Car With His Money?
Not to long a bunch of pictures of a aspiring rapper by the name of Ap.9 grabbing all over Ice T’s wife Coco’s azz hit the internet. Of course everybody started giving Coco the side-eye I chose not to entertain the foolishness because Coco is always showing her azz.
Once the rumors started swirling about the guy in the picture being her side piece she quickly went on twitter to release a statement.
Woke up to people in a panic about some pics,please guys I’m happily married,sometimes fans & friends take silly pics.Its harmless. #RELAX
Well Ap.9 must have got caught up in his feelings after Coco released a statement, because he started spilling the tea about his alleged affair with Coco.
The rapper did an interview with Star Magazine stating that not only did he have sex with Ice T’s wife but they had unprotected sex and it happened more than once. He also claims that he has met Coco’s family and she even brought him a brand new car with Ice T’s Law & Order SVU checks. A couple folks thought this rapper was lying however a publicist caught up with him in Vegas where he dished even more dirt & shared more pics. He also stated that he had to take a lie detector test for Star Magazine and they cut him a check for $500.000
Check out the full interview:
At the end of the day Coco was being very disrespectful for even allowing another man to grab her azz when she has a husband at home…
Ice T should have never tried to turn a hoe into a housewife smh!!!!
Rick Ross is SCARED for his Life!
It looks like Rapper Rick Ross still fears for his life after being the target of a drive by shooting several weeks ago.
The biggest BOSS was recently spotted by NYC and he is taking no chances, and hired NYC police officers to protect him because of recent threats he received.
We’ve learned cops have been guarding Ross at The London Hotel for the last few days.
Sources tell us, recent threats have been specifically aimed at the rapper and he’s not taking them lightly.
You’ll recall Ross’ Rolls-Royce was shot up in Ft. Lauderdale last month after the rapper’s birthday party while Ross was making his way home. Ross and his passenger were not injured in the attack — clearly, the shots were intended as a warning.
I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry so I don’t blame him for hiring extra security. However he should stop rapping about living a gangster lifestyle when clearly he is NOT about that life…..
EXCLUSIVE…ADRIENNE BOSH HAS BUTT IMPLANTS AND IS CHRIS BOSH’S BEARD!!!
Talk about the worst week ever!!! I couldn’t pass this tea up. The homies over at Mouth To Ears is dishing some fierce teas on Chris and Adrienne Bosh.
Take a Gander at this!
First Lil Wayne announces to a packed crowd that he has had a sexual relationship with Adrienne Bosh. Then Cam’ron puts her promiscuous ways on blast via twitter. But the bombs don’t stop there. Our sources are talking, and allegedly Adrienne Bosh has a background in dance…the naked type of dancing if you know what we mean.
This is what our source allege about Mrs. Bosh, formerly know as Adrienne Williams excuse errors , actual emails)
Adrienne moved from Ohio to Cali when she was 19. There she met Lil Wayne, followed him to Louisiana and dated him while he was with Toya. She then moved to NY from there to Atlanta. While in Atlanta she dated John Abraham, Deangelo Hall & Delonte West. Adrienne drove an old Lexus, lived in an apartment and bought all her “lingerie” at Kohl’s. She had a few hook ups on buddy passes so it looked like she “had her own $”. Deanglo Hall’s wife found out about her and confronted her about sleeping with her husband. Remember she is still sleeping with Lil Wayne, every time he came to Atlanta. She has a younger half sister and Father that live in Gwinnett County Ga in an apartment. She worked for a year at the Pink Pony then Mardi Gras (both strip clubs) while bouncing back and fourth between NY and Ga. She starts dating a “major drug dealer” named Dion in NY. She fought with his baby momma everyday until the BM drove a wedge between her & Dion. She started working a Scores as a waitress when she met Chris. The story about her and Chris not hanging out for a month after they met is true. Simply because she was still living with Dion at the time. Move forward a few months, she meets his family (cause Chris grandma died). Convinces Chris to fire his cousin & that his PR person should be Tammy (Keith Murry baby momma)aka Adrienne’s friend from NY. Tammy then tells Chris “you need to up your image” and “you need the family man image”. So he asked Adrienne to marry him, goes on all these family shows and she spreads love peace and happiness. None the less, Chris’s entire family hates her. You will not see ANY pictures of them (his parents or any family) together after the “engagement party” photo. Her click consist of “SharonWilborn” aka DrWibornXl. She is a “urban model” okay!!! Sarah aka she suppose to be a singer?! Is a rich girl from NY that Adrienne kept around for all the hook-ups on things. She lived with Sarah (while dating Chris and Dion)during the “split from Dion”.I think she had she with Wade and they are keeping it under wraps. While she was with Wayne he was still “working things out” with Toya. So much for that.
Well this is my story..”
WOW!!! Our source also alleges that not only has Mrs. Bosh been playing the role as Chris’ beard, helping his image so no one suspects his true nature, and in exchange, she gets to live up the good life. The good life also includes some butt implants! Check out an old back shot of Adrienne and you let us know what you think.
Or we can just ask Wayne! We are sure he remembers them old cakes. Dang Adrienne…we were really proud of how you had taken the high road when it came to this situation. Now we see why you kept your mouth closed and never clapped back. You had no leg to stand on (because they have been allegedly tossed over so many different dude’s shoulders). Talk about f**cking your way to the top. Salute!
Thanks Mouth To Ears!
