Lady Gaga Shifts ‘ArtPop’ Promo Into High Gear

Lady Gaga shared another intimate moment with fans this week with a video of herself getting her septum pierced.

In the nearly minute-long video, posted to YouTube by makeup artist Tara Savelo with the title "haus life," a fresh-faced Gaga lies on her back while a man works at her nose. At the beginning and end of the clip, which is set to a pounding house soundtrack, the title of Gaga's forthcoming new album, ARTPOP, flashes across the screen.

The piercing was apparently done at Chicago's MasterMind Ink, which posted a photo of the newly-ringed Gaga on their Facebook page. "Lady Gaga stopped by MasterMind Ink today and had our Head Piercer and Manager Steve Bennett pierce her septum," the caption says.

ARTPOP is due out on November 11th, and Lady Gaga will reportedly debut the first single from the album live at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th.

Accompanied by the tweet, “1ST SINGLE FROM ARTPOP COMES AUG.19 #24DAYS”, the tune –  titled ‘Applause’ – has already seen its Inez & Vinoodh-directed video shot.

"The View" LOOKING To Hire Hoda Kotb?

The streets are talking.....and they're saying that Barbara Walters and the folks at "The View" want Hoda Kotb to add some "diversity" to their panel, according to the NY Post.  Hoda, who has a news background which could add a good quality back into the show that it's been lacking since Meredith Viera left, is Egyptian and the panel does have two African American women on it currently with Whoopi Goldberg & Sherri Shepherd.

A media insider explained Hoda's appeal to Page Six saying,

“Hoda addresses several of their needs. She has news experience, which is something ‘The View’ has not had since Meredith Vieira left. She also adds some diversity to the panel.”

Of course the news prompted a denial from Hoda's camp, who said,

“Hoda loves her job at ‘Today’ and she’s very happy laughing and scratching with Kathie Lee every day.”

But you know...once the streets start talking....an offer has been made.  We will indeed be here for this if it happens.  Loves some Hoda.

Tyra Banks wigs out at the CBS/CW Upfronts: fabulous or ridiculous?

Here are some photos from  CBS/Showtime/CW Upfronts/Summer party. There were so many interesting TV people in attendance, Anyway, there was one stand-out in attendance, mainly because I really thought that some contestants from Ru Paul’s Drag Race had crashed the party. Turns out it was just Tyra Banks and her WIG OF DOOM. OMG.

Really, though, this whole look is a hot mess. The dress is awful, her boobs are jammed in there and pushed up to an uncomfortable level. The earrings look like curtain sashes and the wig… my lord. MESS.

Pauley Perrette (from NCIS) was there. Did you know she’s the most popular and beloved person on television? True story.

Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott are doing some weird CBS drama together – he plays a Secret Service agent and she plays the president’s physician. I don’t get how that stretches out for a whole television drama, but sure.

Sarah Michelle Gellar would have been the best-dressed person at the event if her makeup was a little bit better and she had worn her hair down.

Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs do that terrible 2 Broke Girls comedy. I tried watching it once and I couldn’t believe it was actually on the air. It’s awful.

Allison Janney!!! CJ!!!

Perfection.

DMX Owes Child A Support, Files For Bankruptcy

According to  the Wall Street Journal he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

DMX filed the documents Monday and lists less than $50,000 in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debt. The rapper said in court papers that he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, “to enable me to reorganize my financial affairs.”

 A lot of the debt DMX is in comes from back child support. he owes a little over a million dollars in child support. Another major part of the debt comes from X leasing cars. He owes $20,000 in car payments, which is crazy for someone who hasn’t had a legit license in a long time.

I’m praying DMX, he really needs it.

Jay Z and Beyonce Visits Kim Kardashian and Baby North West While In California

Jay and Bey made a little pit stop while out in LA, they went to see baby North at Kris Jenner’s home in calabasas.. I know Kris was being a pure groupie if she was there. Even though Kanye is Milian doing god knows what, but the couple spent the morning with Kardashian, 32, who has not been seen out in public since giving birth to her tiny bundle of joy on June 15.  Blue Ivy wasn’t in tow for the weekend get-together.

I guess we can really can the fact that Beyonce does not like Kim, a source close to Beyonce told Us Weekly, referring to a story that Beyonce had confronted Kardashian at the Budweiser Made in America festival in September. “There’s absolutely no beef.” In fact, another pal said earlier this month, Kardashian “really looks up to Beyonce,” who debuted an impressive physique just months after having baby Blue Ivy. “Congratulations Kim & Kanye,” Beyonce wrote on her Tumblr just two days after North West’s birth, alongside a photo of Kardashian and West looking happy together. “Enjoy this beautiful moment together.” How cute…

Spotted Cheat–Ting?!?: Jason Derulo Caught With Reggie Bush’s Old Jump Off… Where Is Jordin And The Chastity Belt?!?

Someone has some explaining to do!!!

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have been locked and loaded in a relationship for over a year now and as far as we know… Jordin is still rocking a chastity belt. We always found this relationship a bit strange because Jason definitely likes to “soil his musical oats” and he seem to be staying out of the land of temptation until he was spotted with Carmen Ortega, the chick that broke up Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush… Carmen Ortega.

And now the pic!

Both spotted taking a stroll, sources claim that they were walking from a hotel. That seems like a stretched lie… where in the hell would Jason Derulo be walking from with Carmen Ortega if they just banged?!?

Statement from Carmen’s Camp:

“Carmen is a recording artist and was recording in the studio where Jason was and is nothing more than a dear friend of Jason’s. She is very supportive of his career and is respectful of his relationship with Jordan. They are nothing more than friends.”

We believe that nothing was really happening between these two but the only problem we still need an answer to is… Why Does Carmen Have On A “GET’EM GIRL” Type Dress?!? That is the part that doesn’t add up.

What do you think?!?

Christina Aguilera Stuns With New Slimline Figure At ‘The Voice’ Launch

Cop a gander of Christina Aguilera!

The Pop diva looked like a bag of money and good living as she arrived at the press launch for the fifth season of The Voice in Los Angeles.

Having made headlines for less than savoury reasons in the past, the singer hit all the right notes, turning heads in a demure pink ensemble.

Naturally, we’re wondering why Xtina wasn’t this “on” during her ‘Lotus’ campaign (after all, love it or loathe it, image decides a lot in today’s industry). However, she looks so fierce here that the only direction we’re gazing in is forward.

Lil Kim Penning Book About Prison Stint

Lil Kim has more exciting news for her fans. Over the weekend, news hit that she’d be releasing a new mixtape, titled ‘Hardcore‘, channeling her 1996 debut album. This week, the Brooklyn native confirmed plans that she’d be releasing “Price of Loyalty”,  an autobiography that goes into detail about time she served in federal prison, why she went and the lessons she learned by going through that ordeal.  The book is set to be released early next year. What’s more? Reportedly, her 5th studio album, currently untitled, is in the final touches and is set to be released at the end of this year.  She is also finalizing negotiations on some product lines that will be rolling out over the next year. Sweet!

Adrienne Admits Who Was Really Behind Her Break Up-Email To Rob Kardashian

Adrienne Bailon and Rob Kardashian broke up years ago, but there’s a small detail involving their breakup that Adrienne’s kept secret… until now. Find out how the host faked a new man to get her ex off her back!

Adrienne: America saw one of my break ups pan out on television, but you didn’t see how it really went down….When Rob and I broke up, we pretty much were like, we’re not going to talk about it. It was private, we’re gonna keep it to ourselves. All good. And I think people would think because I was cheated on, I’d go out and be like, ‘He cheated on me!’ but I didn’t wanna do it that way because honestly I was embarrassed…Well, girl, I don’t know if you saw the episode. It’s played enough times on Twitter supposedly…He read an email from me out loud on the show…The email was that he had been calling me nonstop to get back with me and at this point, this was my break up letter. Now, what y’all thought was that it was written from my boyfriend. It was not written from my boyfriend. It was written by me and my girls sitting on the sofa one day thinking to ourselves, well how do we stop him from calling me? And we thought to ourselves the only way to make this guy stop calling me is to make him think I have someone new. If he thinks I have a new man and this new man is writing a letter. ‘I need you to stay out of our lives. We’ve moved on.’ He’d get the point like move on! That’s what we did. He put it on TV. I ended the letter with ‘One dog’ so people were like, ‘Hold up! And the new boyfriend’s black!’…And I felt so bad because at the time there were so many rumors I was dating Fabulous they actually pinned it on him.

Loni: What did the fake boyfriend say in the letter?

Adrienne: I was my own fake boyfriend and my fake boyfriend said, ‘Hey, this is the new man in her life. Please stop calling every day. Please leave her alone. You broke her heart. She’d like to move on.’

Loni: See, that’s too nice. You needed to make it like it was really from a guy. Like ‘I will mess you up if you don’t leave her alone!’

Adrienne: I got left alone. I think it worked……..Haha!

Martin Lawrence’s Ex Wife, Shamicka Says ‘Hollywood Exes’ Will Show Her Divorce + Why She Decided to Do Reality TV

On season two, VH1′s Hollywood Exes has a fresh face, Shamicka Lawrence, the ex-wife of Martin Lawrence. On Sunday night, she made her debut on reality TV, giving viewers a small glimpse into the life of one of the funniest comedians in the industry. In a recent interview with VH1, the soft spoken mother of two explains what she’ll share on the show, why she decided to do reality TV and if she’s ready to be in the spotlight. Check out the interview below.

What was your impression of the show before you started working on it, had you watched it?

Yes, and I liked the fact that they’re classy women, it’s not about being drama-filled, it’s about them moving on with their lives and being there for each other.

What aspects of your life will we get to see?

Well, at that point, I was going through my divorce, so you’re going to see some of my emotions on that. And I have a management company now, so you’ll see me auctioning talent, and I also have Lupus, so I share that with everyone and we go over the things I’m doing to keep my body healthy. It’s a balance of all of those. I’m just trying to find myself again through all of the pain and things I was going through.

What’s your management company all about?

I have musicians and a comedian working with me, most of the musicians write and play instruments, a couple of them have been on The Voice. I have really talented people, and it’s really inspirational music. I’m just looking to give good, positive music back to everybody nowadays. I also sing. I used to sing years ago so that’s also why I love working in music.

What do you hope people take away from you being a part of the show?

My main goal was to inspire women that are going through a divorce. To let them know they can still be strong. It’s a tough situation but it doesn’t have to be as bad. Through every storm, there’s always clear skies ahead. No matter what I’m going through, I never put my problems on anyone else, and I still have God in my life and he’s given me the gift of joy. I just want to be able to inspire.

Did you ever think you’d do a reality show?

Never! Ever ever. I just always thought reality shows were full of drama and fighting and scripted, but one thing about Hollywood Exes is that it’s all real, it’s all us, and of course there’s going to be a little drama, but at the end of the day, friends figure it out.

After being the woman behind Martin for so many years, are you ready to be a public personality and a celebrity in your own right?

I think I am. No, I know I am. At the end of the day, it’s about staying humble, how that one minute that you give that fan of yours will last a lifetime, and it makes a difference. Stay humble to who you are. I’m ready!

Well Alright!

Good in the neighborhood: Kanye West launches non profit organization Donda’s House

While Kanye is busy new daddy to daddy to daughter North West,he still takes time to give back to the community. Kanye West recently launched nonprofit in memory of his mom, “Donda’s House.” Donda’s House has launched a free music writing program in order to help at-risk youth on Chicago’s South Side. The program is called “Got Bars?” and is to set to teach students between 15 and 24 how to write and record their own music over the course of ten weeks. Donda’s House Executive Director Donnie Smith:

“Art instruction and particularly music instruction leads people to become better problem solvers, more flexible. “There are just so many outcomes that come from the study of music and particularly music writing.”

As for the targeted demographic, Smith added:

“We think that 15 to 24-year-olds…they are in the most need of help. We want to get kids in high school, that young adult age range who are confused about where they are in life. We want to give them direction… so many people have just given up on that demographic. And I would add that Dr. Donda West was passionate about the high school dropout rate. We want to be working to help with that at the younger age of that spectrum.”

Mental Illness Is Real: D. Wade Demands Psych Evaluation On Ex Wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade

The divorce may be final, but now there’s another remaining issue—their children. On Monday, after Dwyane Wade and  Siohvaughn Funches-Wade reached a $5 million divorce settlement, the NBA baller filed an emergency motion that forced his ex-wife to undergo psychological testing, or lose all rights to their two boys, Zion, 6 and Zaire, 10. The motion came after Siohvaughn questionable meltdown last week. As you’ll recall, Siohvaughn protested outside of the Daley Center, with a sign stating claiming to be homeless. The three-time NBA champion refused to let his children go on their previously scheduled two-week visitation with their mother. Wade’s attorney’s spoke about the motion filed this week:

S.L.’s [Funches-Wade’s] statements, behavior, and her demeanor in court reflect that she is presently lost, angry and desperate. Her behavior is not in the children’s best interests…D.T. [Wade] requests that this Court immediately suspend S.L.’s timesharing…pending the results of a psychological evaluation of S.L.

In a statement, Siohvaughn denies that there is anything wrong with her or her behavior:

This is Mr. Wade’s ongoing pattern of behavior. I have noticed that after I speak out publicly and say what Dwyane has done to me, my children…Mr. Wade responds by running into court and asking the judge to terminate my visitation with my children in an effort to stop me from seeing my children anymore

Not only did the exes fail to reach a child custody agreement, but their lawyers failed to do so also. Last week, Siohvaughn filed an inference against D.Wade for violating their 2011 agreement that would have the pair alternating time with each two weeks at a time. Funches-Wade’s attorney’s plan to appear in court to demand the children be turned over to their mother. They also plan to seek actions against Wade. Stay tuned.

Omarosa Puts Michael Clarke Duncan’s Mansion Up For Sale

Looks like Omarosa has decided to sell the mansion she shared with her fiancé Michael Clarke Duncan and has put the luxury home on the market for $1.299 million and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that despite their TV animosity, she’s looking to move into one of Donald Trump’s properties.

Omarosa told the site, “It’s too big for just me and our two pups and we miss MCD soo much.” The home boasts 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, a media room, full gym, basketball court, built-in fish tank, a glass fireplace, a swimming pool and a garage that can hold 15 cars.

The mansion is being sold by Michael’s trust. “Don’t worry I am not alone in all of this,” Omarosa explained.

“My trustees and real estate team are amazing and supportive. Matt and his team has helped me with the house and all of the other major property and estate decisions I have had to make.”

New details emerge in the case of Georgia baby shot in stroller

The parents of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, who was shot in his stroller by 2 teens in Brunswick, GA. in March, had gunshot residue on them the day their son was killed. The new details emerged in the state’s forensic report obtained by CBS affiliate WTEV. De’Marquise Elkins and Dominique Lang were arrested shortly after the baby was killed.

The teens are suspected of shooting Antonio in the head while trying to rob the infant’s mother, Sherry West, who was also shot in the leg. West said the fact that she was shot would explain the gunshot residue on her. She insisted the baby’s father, Louis Santiago, was not at the scene of the shooting. “My baby was shot. I was shot near my head and of course there’s going to be GSR (gunshot residue) everywhere,” said West.

“He may have touched my clothes in the hospital if there was GSR.”

Defense attorneys for the 2 teenage suspects filed a court discovery motion claiming “Santiago, a convicted felon, had discharged a firearm at or about the same time that his son was shot.”

According to WTEV, Louis Santiago is currently in jail on charges of violating a restraining order and aggravated stalking.

West claims Santiago “went nuts” in the months following their son’s murder, according to WTEV.

“He was throwing things through the window and terrorizing me, saying that I killed my baby and it should have been me,” West told the station.

Police have not named West or Louis Santiago as suspects in the shooting death of their infant. The trial is scheduled to begin next month.

Nicki Minaj Reprimands LHHA’s Kirk Frost For Disrespecting His Pregnant Wife On Reality TV

Looks like some of y’all aren’t the only ones addicted to VH1′s ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘. Apparently, every Monday night, rapper Nicki Minaj tunes in as well. And this week, the storyline involving a very pregnant Rasheeda and hubby Kirk was just too much for her to keep mum about. As a backstory, the entire season, the only married couple on the show have had some serious marital issues. Rasheeda and Kirk are expecting another child and unfortunately, the pregnancy is unwanted by Kirk. Both sides continue to point the finger at one another, with cheating as an underlying issue. Fast forward to the current episode and Kirk and Rasheeda have sorta-kinda separated. Kirk and the fellas have a festive party with a few scantily clad women, which some argue is inappropriate. So what’s Nicki Minaj hafta say about it? She’s totally team Rasheeda. 

After the episode aired, she wrote on twitter:

Damn my n*gga, after 15 yrs u wld embarrass the mother of your child while she’s pregnant on nat’l tv like that? cornballs on deck..If you’re trying to convince someone you’re not gay that’s the wrong way to go about it.

Your wife is pregnant. U do that on nat’l tv? GTFOH…having problems is one thing, broadcasting it on a tv show for some air time is another. that woman stayed by your side. how dare u? And i dare u to say it ain’t none of my business. u done sold it to vh1. its everybody business….Its levels to this shit…lol…the lower level minds will never understand that. You’re willing to ruin a 15 yr bond for vh1? el stupido

Ouch! Do you agree with Nicki’s point of view? Or did Rasheeda give Kirk a pass to cheat?

Beyonce Spotted Showing Kelly & Michelle The "Grown Woman" Video + Jay-Z Gets Emotional About Hardships Of Fatherhood On "Jay-Z Blue"

A few pics leaked from Bey's dressing room backstage at the Staples Center last Friday night.  She was spotted showing some "Grown Woman" video rough cut footage to Kelly & Michelle, this according to the person inside the room who snapped the pic.  

Gotta love how they all still support each other.

Meanwhile, Bey's other half Jay-Z opened up in yet another Samsung Mobile mini video about his upcoming Magna Carta Holy Grail album.  And this time, he fought back emotion while explaining the double meaning behind his "Jay-Z Blue (Daddy Dearest)" track.

Blue Ivy's dad explained how him not having his own father to teach him how to be a man, makes him fearful of fatherhood and being the best daddy he can be.  He also talks about the changes in his & his wife's relationship...and how he never wants them to go down a road that causes them to have to juggle joint custody.

Jay tells Rick Rubin in the video:

"...Something that we both created.  We still marvel at her. It’s most obvious on a song called ‘Jay-Z Blue,’ and it deals with my pop left when I was young so he didn’t teach me how to be a man nor how to raise a child or treat a woman. So of course, with my karma, the two things I needed I don’t have and I have a daughter. It’s the paranoia of not being a great dad.”

Sweet.  Check out the lyrics below:

NICE!

Trayvon Martin’s Step-Mom Speaks Out—Says She Don’t Think Zimmerman Targeted Him Because He Was Black

Trayvon Martin’s stepmom Alicia Stanley is no longer remaining silent. The women who helped raise Trayvon for 14 years, says she doesn’t think Zimmerman shot her stepson because he was black.

During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on, Alicia stated:

“I really don’t think it was Zimmerman don’t like black people, or he picked him out because he was black,” she said. “Did he profile him with the hoodie and stuff like that as this thug, whatever, walking, in Zimmerman’s mind? Yes, but to say that he targeted him because he was black? No, I don’t think so.”

She went on to say that her family doesn’t use racial slurs like “white a** cracker,” which star witness Rachel Jeantel said Trayvon used to describe Zimmerman during their phone call.

“Kids gonna be kids,” she said. “We didn’t teach that kind of language in our home.”

If Zimmerman is not found guilty of killing the 17-year-old, Stanley said she would be heartbroken.

 “It’s going to be heartbreaking, because I truly believe that Zimmerman killed my son,” she said. “God will take care of all of that. I put it in God’s hands.”

Check out the full interview below and tell us what you think about Alicia Stanley finally speaking out.

WATCH: 

I only have 2 questions 1) What is her purpose of speaking at this time? 2) Doesn’t it seem like she's subliminally trashing Sybrina Fulton?

Thoughts?

Naomi Campbell accused of ‘harassing’ her ex, Vlad Doronin, and Luo Zilin

I was just wondering when we would get another chapter from this ongoing Supermodel-Billionaire-Miss China Dramz, and here we go! Page Six has yet another exclusive about what has gone down and what is going down between Naomi Campbell, her ex Vladimir Doronin, and her former protégé from The Face, Luo Zilin. Naomi and Vlad broke up maybe around March of this year. Everything was fine, and sources even claimed that they could possibly get back together. And then a month ago Vlad was photographed in Ibiza with Luo, a former Miss China beauty queen whom Naomi had mentored on The Face. Naomi went crazy (allegedly) and within days, Luo was fired from her modeling agency. Naomi reportedly called every contact she has and told them to never, ever hire Luo under any circumstances.

But Vlad fought back. He leaked some super-bitchy comments to Page Six about how Naomi is “cruel” and “sad” and how he and Luo are the real deal and Naomi just needs to get over it and stop being so immature and rage-y. And now there’s more:

The war continues between Naomi Campbell and her billionaire ex, Vladimir Doronin, over his new relationship with aspiring model Luo Zilin, whom Naomi mentored on her television show “The Face.”

Sources say Naomi was fuming over Vlad seeing the former Miss China, 26, also known as Zi Lin, who was part of “Team Naomi” and a runner-up on the supermodel’s Oxygen show.

After they were outed as a couple, Zi Lin was fired by her New York agency, Mix Model Management, with president Neal Hamil saying in a statement, “Zi Lin’s contract . . . was terminated . . . due to ongoing unprofessional conduct and unacceptable work ethic.” Naomi’s camp denied she had used her influence in the fashion world to kill Zilin’s career.

A source close to Vlad — who has been divorced from Russian gal Ekaterina since 2010, according to documents seen by Page Six — tells us, “The desperate lies and misinformation coming from Naomi’s camp about Vlad and Luo are astounding. Naomi was working the phones, pushing to get Luo ousted. She said, ‘Jump,’ and [Luo’s agency] said, ‘How high?’

“Vlad and Luo are serious and are looking forward to a future where Naomi will stop harassing them both and they can all get on with their lives in peace.”

Meanwhile, Naomi has been getting some emotional support from her supermodel pal Kate Moss. Sources tell us that fellow British beauty Moss had “practically moved in” with Naomi, who has had “a tough few weeks after splitting with Vlad.”

A source close to Naomi said, “She is feeling a lot better and has put it all behind her. She is focusing on her show.”

Naomi has been in London filming the British version of her US hit “The Face” and has repeatedly been seen with Moss. The pair partied with Grace Jones until 5 a.m. after attending the glamorous Serpentine Summer party in London on Wednesday evening. Reps for both Vlad and Naomi didn’t comment.

[From Page Six]

As I’ve said in the previous stories, I don’t have any problems believing that Naomi Campbell went full-throttle after Luo. If Luo had been standing right in front of Naomi, Luo’s face would have been mangled by a phone. But since Naomi couldn’t physically attack her, Naomi went after Luo’s career. And what’s interesting (to me) is that Vlad has developed such protective feelings towards Luo so quickly – they can only have been together for at most three or four months. And already he’s all “We’re serious and are looking forward to a future where Naomi will stop harassing us”?? Obviously, that’s angled more at burning Naomi than anything else. Because Vlad knows where Naomi’s bodies are buried, you know? I’ve always thought that he spread out a lot of money to hide some of Naomi’s violent incidents, and he could totally use that against her.

Also – so, he’s divorced now and he has been for three years? Damn, that sucks for Naomi. She waited for him to marry her for five or six years. And now he’s divorced and he’ll probably end up marrying Luo. Oh, no… that will give Naomi a rage-stroke.

Al Sharpton Signs Book Deal With Cash Money Records

Christina Milian Smokes Hookah In Her Black Bikini

Andrea Kelly Explains Why ‘Hollywood Exes’ Is Like Reality TV Royalty, Says Show is Nothing Like ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’

Apparently, all reality TV is not all the same–according to Andrea Kelly, of VH1′s Hollywood Exes. In a recent interview, the ex-wife of famed singer R.Kelly, set the record straight as to why there should be no comparisons between her show and ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’. In short, she explains that the cast of Hollywood Exes are accustomed to money and their husbands were icons, unlike LHHA:

Not to take anything from anyone else on VH1, because again, they’re a part of my television family, but you’re talking about a different group of women. So you’re not talking about somebody who has never been exposed to the life of celebrity, who’s never been exposed to a Maybach or a Lamborghini, never been exposed to red bottoms, so you’re going to act a little differently when you’re accustomed to a certain lifestyle. So for us, we are representing a legacy. We’re not talking about women who were married to men that nobody knew. We’re talking about the king of R&B, we’re talking about Prince, we’re talking about the king of comedy, we’re talking about Eddie Murphy here. So you really can’t even compare the two, so to say we would act a certain way because our counterparts do, you would have to step back from that and go but you know what? Just like music has different genres, VH1 and these reality series have a different genre. I would like to say that we’re coming from a level of royalty because we have been with men that were such big icons. But again, our show is not about those men, what they did, and why they divorced us, it’s about why they married us in the first place, because we are classy, because we are educated, so that’s what we show.

ON THERE BEING MORE CONFLICT ON THE SHOW THIS SEASON:

It’s like when you put a bunch of people in the house in the summer time, the heat irritates people. With any sisterhood, if you spend enough time around each other, you get on each other’s nerves eventually. But at the end of the day, the bottom line is that we still love each other. But it’s not the conflict that’s at the center of our show, it’s how we handle the conflict that’s at the center of our show. And I think it would be a falsehood to say that we don’t get into it, that we don’t have arguments. But what is the true part about it is that at the end of the day, we still respect each other and love each other, and the way we resolve it, I think needs to be seen.

Interesting! Hollywood Exes, Season 2 premieres Monday, July 8 at 10 pm on VH1.

Meek Mill Has To Take Court-Ordered Etiquette Classes

A judge in Meek Mill's hometown of Philadelphia has ordered him to take etiquette classes based on his actions in court and outside.

Maybach Music Group's Meek Mill was ordered by a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania judge to take etiquette classes by August 4 for his court-ordered probation.

Judge Genece Brinkley said "Meek Mill has a lot of issues,"  prompting the decision.

At Meek's latest probation hearing for his 2008 drug dealing and gun possession conviction, prosecutors said that his social media activity and conduct in public could "affect his freedom."

According to AllHipHop.com, the judge has received threats from the Dream Chaser head's fans after Meek posted aggressive messages. 

Judge Brinkley and prosecutors also claim that Meek Mill has continued to travel without permission from his probation officer. 

The last year has been a crazy one for the Philly-based rapper. He has had Rap beef with fellow Philly-native Cassidy, Twitter beef with Shyne, a feud with Pastor Jomo K. Johnson for the track "Amen" and he dealt with the news that his 18 year-old artist Lil Snupe was murdered in Louisiana last month.

Meek is still experiencing the consequences of his 2008 drug dealing and gun possession conviction.

Lindsay Lohan tells TMZ she’s off Adderall & is going into hiding: delusional?

Lindsay Lohan is in the third rehab she’s tried in her latest rehab cycle, which she’s conveniently ignored is court-ordered. The last we heard from the Cracken she was squawking about how she wanted to switch rehabs yet again, to the one her daddy was endorsing. That was just a mere 10 days ago. Well now Lindsay has sobered up enough to leak more stories to TMZ, and she claims she’s off Adderall and is fine with it, and that she plans “to go deep into hiding” when she gets out of rehab in August. She supposedly thinks this will help her maintain her sobriety. She probably wants to hide from several process servers as well.

Lindsay Lohan is going from reckless to recluse — we’ve learned she plans to go deep into hiding after she gets out of rehab in August … to maintain her sobriety.

Sources close to Lindsay tell us, she now realizes she’s been powerless in combating her addictions, and says cities like New York and L.A. only feed her demons … so she needs to get out STAT.

Lindsay’s scheduled to get out of rehab in early August — and we’re told she plans to move somewhere in the U.S. where there are no paparazzi … somewhere she can get back in touch with her true self. A little pie in the sky, but that’s what she thinks.

Sources connected with her treatment claim the 12-step program has been working. We’re also told she’s deathly afraid of relapsing, and escape is her solution.

As for how long she wants to disappear, we’re told Lindsay’s not sure — as long as it takes.

[From TMZ]

Lohan claims she’s going to remain sober and yet she’s going to give up infamy as well? This girl doesn’t exist without attention. We’ll see paparazzi photos of her within a day of her release, and she’ll be going out to the clubs that night. How much do you want to bet that she’ll be jonesing to celebrate her birthday and will tell herself “it’s just one night,” which will of course lead to months.

I would love to be wrong, I would love to see Lohan embrace sobriety. That would require being humble and admitting she was wrong, and throughout her entire life in the spotlight we’ve never seen her do either. It’s always someone else’s fault, and she has more excuses than she does lives. This is a good plan though, even if it sounds like a massive pipe dream. Let Lohan terrorize some random midwestern city. Sorry midwestern peeps, send photos!
