Jimmy's Goonin' Again!


Hey Bleeples! Hot off the vH1 blog, Love & Hip Hop's resident rapper, Jim Jones, was arrested this past weekend. Apparently, Diddy threw a party in Connecticut on Friday night that Jimmy and his goon friends attended. They got into a scuffle there and police were called. Chrissy is rumored to have been at this party as well.

Jimmy tweeted about his legal issues and indicated he's out on a $40,000 bond. This means he paid upwards of $4,000 to get out. Mrs. Almost but Never Will Be a Jones hasn't commented on the fight either way. But, something tells me she enjoyed every second. If you want more details, click here http://blog.vh1.com/2012-02-25/love-and-hip-hop-star-jim-jones-arrested-released-on-40k-bail/ .
 
 
When the season ended, Juelz Santana had been arrested for fighting as well. I guess Juelz & Jimmy really believe in that whole "monkey see, monkey do" business. Weigh in.
 
'Til next time.....

Wives, Drives, & Chicks on the Side!

What up, Bleeps!! The new season of Basketball Wives is well underway. Everybody’s favorite crazy heiffers are back! So without further ado…

For two seasons, Jennifer (Williams) and Evelyn (Lozada) were besties. Jen and Ev have teamed up to battle the likes of Suzie (Ketcham), Royce (Reed), and Tami (Roman). Evelyn helped destroy Jen’s marriage to Eric Williams, and then pioneered her way into the heart of Chad Ochocinco. Scroll on down the blog to find out what kind of foolishness that relationship has caused. It’s safe to say that Jen and Ev’s relationship is dead, but it wasn’t without a fight. Two episodes in and we’ve already seen Jen try to work things out with Ev to no avail. Jen has been caught on different media venues calling Ochocinco a media whore and saying that Evelyn shouldn’t be with him. Ev didn’t care for that. Now, the two are into it because Jen was running her mouth yet again. This time she blogged (go figure!) that Evelyn dates the same kind of
men. That didn’t go over too well. Shaunie and Tami tried to oversee a meeting between them and that didn’t go well either. RIP to their friendship.
 
 
Apparently, Basketball Wives is now being taped in NYC. The ladies have relocated to not only accommodate the native New Yorkers but to add 2 new ex-wives/baby mamas to the mix. Enter Kenya and Kesha….Kenya was married to some baller and is now in the process of divorcing this fool. She is 35 years old. This information is important for later. Kesha is a basketball dancer and ex-girlfriend. She celebrates anniversaries of breakups. This should be interesting. Now, back to Kenya….she believes herself to be a successful singer/artist who is working independently to become the next big superstar. I suspect this had something to do with her relationship fail. As mentioned, she is 35, and has posted self-produced music videos for your viewing pleasure. She has recruited her friends, Royce & Kesha, to dance in her newest video. She is very defensive about her career and will likely get her arse beat this season because of it. Yay!



Suzie and Tami aren’t up to much this season. Suzie is so happy to be back in the circle, she is beside herself! She is quite vocal with her opinions of people. I forsee issues with the other ladies because of her wild ‘n free mouth. On this week’s episode, she and Kenya went back and forth
about the creativity of Kenya’s videos. Suzie’s words? “It’s weird. What is someone her age doing making this stuff anyway?” I must say, I totally agree Suzie. Maybe not the age thing, but the videos are weird…just youtube this girl. You’ll see. Tami is playing this season’s sound mind and voice of reason. I don’t know how I like this. I think I prefer Tami throwing bows and slapping bishes!



The most interesting thing going on so far on the show is the relationship conversation Evelyn and Chad had. She flew to Miami to discuss what that blogs and tweeters were saying about his cheating ways. He admitted to having a wandering eye, and Evelyn admitted to knowing he has a wandering eye. The part that got me was Evelyn telling Chad that despite their upcoming nuptials she knows he will be with other women. She, then, told him that if he is on the
road and wants to sleep with other women he should call her and let her know. She also said she’d like him to protect himself. Call me old-fashioned, but I think it’s a little unfair to grant your man permission to cheat just so you can have your fairytale wedding day….and prove all the world wrong about your relationship. PS the world wins.



‘Til next week…

R4R Update

Hey Bloves!! So there are a couple of things going on in the reality world that I'm sure you're dying to know about. Here goes....
 
 
 
MTV has just given the thumbs up for Teen Mom 3. The whole "16 and Pregnant" phenomenon has taken on a life of its own and spun not one but 3 spinoffs! I mean, who can keep up with all these horny teens and their spawn? Does it really get more dramatic than Jenelle, Barb, & Jace of Teen Mom 2? We hear stories all the time about Amber Portman (Teen Mom) going to jail and threats of any one of these tricks to lose custody of their kids. Who am I kidding? You know I'm tuning in to laugh and judge. I think I'm gonna stop calling these chicks stupid too....They're pulling some pretty fat checks for opening their legs. That's all I'm saying....For more, check out http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/02/27/teen-mom-3/.
 
 
 
Terrell Owens, known as T.O. to most, alluded to have money problems on his show "The T.O. show" on vH1. Apparently, he wasn't kidding. He is going through (count 'em) 2 foreclosures on homes he purchased in Dallas. I'm not really into sports, but I do know I haven't heard his name circulating on the news in the sports realm. I do, however, watch his show. Was it me or did they abruptly stop showing new episodes in the middle of the season? Oh ok. It's me. Unfortunately, this whole pro-athlete gone broke story isn't unique. As a matter of fact, it's almost expected. Want more on this story? Click http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/27/terrell-owens-foreclosure_n_1302896.html.
 
 
 
The Real Housewives of Atlanta are full of special episodes this season. They just aired a "Kim & Kroy" special during Oscars Sunday. Soon, they will be airing a special episode starring Kandi Burruss called "Kandi Factory". Are they trying to prepare us for both Kim & Kandi getting their own respective shows? I'm thinking so....from what I hear, the ratings for the Kim special were low. Maybe the Oscars are to blame. Or, maybe nobody cares about Kim & Kroy but Kim & Kroy. Kandi shared a sneak peek link to the show on her Facebook fan page....so, click here if you wanna see what that's about. http://youtu.be/bI7NMrNA0Js
 
 
 
Up next, I'll be updating you guys on the newest season of Basketball Wives. 'Til next time....

From NY to HOTlanta


Hi, Blogosphere! Christina Rose here....finally back from the island my life excommunicated me to. Over the last couple weeks, the final episodes of Love and Hip Hop Season 2 has aired. They've even aired what was supposed to be the reunion show aptly named "Reality Check". These hip hop queens are so crazy they couldn't even sit in the same room with one another...and some couldn't even talk with the show's producer, Mona Scott Young. Well, there's no time like the present so let's get it...
 
 
 
Somaya showed up towards the end of this season only to be seen gooning with Kimbella and dressing in costume as the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. According to Mrs. Mona, Somaya was just too boring this year. She didn't give them anything to film. She expressed her unhappiness to Mona calling the show rude for telling her they'd be filming her and didn't. She whined and cried about how they missed some date she went on....IDK about you guys, but I'm with Mona....snoozefest. How many losers have we seen Somaya date in the last year? Her thirsty ass gives it out like its a 2 for 1 special. Miss me with that. Shoutout to Mona and the crew for sparing us. Somaya is on her way back to LA now to pursue this music career she swears she's gonna have. Meanwhile, LAHH is headed to Atlanta. Guess we're done with old girl...
 
 
 
Teairra Mari disappeared. Homie didn't even get parting words. FAIL . I guess Mona wasn't feeling her either. Welcome aboard, girl. I can't with lil' mama.
 
 
 
Olivia was offered a record deal by some poor unsuspecting record company. They had a few stipulations for which Liv would have to agree to. Firstly, she'd have to commit to producing at least 3 albums. Secondly, she'd have to give them a large percentage of record sales. Thirdly, they'd need her first born and a lock of hair. Personally, I don't think these demands are too far out of the pocket. I have been saying all season that it was gonna take a miracle for this girl's career to climb out of that very deep sh*thole its in....so, her firstborn sounds reasonable. Of course, this picky beggar didn't sign the deal. She cites the 3 album commitment and the fact that the company was preparing to be sold to another record label as her reasons. Looks like Liv is going to make me right one way or another. The status of her career? Still in the crapper. In other news, on the Reality Check, Olivia finally gave her opinion of the Chrissy/Yandy situation. Liv is officially Team YANDY. Apparently, she has fallen out with Mama Jones and Chrissy. I'm sure that comment about Chrissy being in the wrong sealed the proverbial deal.
 
 
 
Emily B. would still like us all to believe she's standing firm against cheating and staying away from Fab. Lies and more lies, ladies and gents!! In one sentence, she's saying that John has to work hard to be with her not the other way around. In another sentence, she is talking about how much she loves him and can't be without him. I can't with her and I haven't been able to this entire time. Her situation is pathetic. Her situation mirrors that of many stupid females all across the country. Maybe not so much stupid, but definitely sad. Why is it women who date/marry affluent men HAVE to put up with their lack of respect for monagamy? That's a whole 'nother blog, but still Emily represents a large percentage of the ladies of this culture who sacrifice their bodies, self-respect, and values for Louboutins and luxury...and maybe a piece of man. Do better, Em. You really could.
 
 
 
Kimbella is the whiniest, cryniest of them all. Last we saw her, she was complaining about how Juelz had gone to jail and that their relationship was dysfunctional. Next thing you know, she's announcing that she and jailbird are expecting...again. Her mom was none too pleased and neither was I. Kimby is yet another stereotype collecting babies. He cheats, gets arrested, and so on. At least her child support check will be looking kinda fat. On another note, she is becoming a little too reality star for me. During the Reality Check, Mona asked her if she and Emily had met prior to the show. Emily stated that she did meet her through a friend in Miami. Kimby denies it. She just doesn't want to admit to knowing Fab had a girl because that would mean she is just the hoe Erica (Mena) keeps calling her. Whatever, do they make maternity catsuits? Guess we'll see.
 
 
 
Erica is just a bowl of rachet. She gets no comment.
 
 
 
Chrissy was her usual bossy and evil self. The show itself ended on a positive note with her and Mama Jones getting along. Jimmy flew them out to the Bahamas for some family time. I think that was their ghetto honeymoon. She swears she's a Jones now. I need the JOP to pronounce me, but I guess that's overrated. Her behavior on the Reality Check was deplorable to say the least. She pitched such a fit that she couldn't even film with the show's producer, Mona. I don't doubt that her feelings about Yandy helped sway her decision. Mona is Yandy's mentor. Thus, Chrissy don't like her. Period. I think Chrissy's exact words were "this is my show...bow down, bitch" as she referred to Yandy jumping on the LAHH bandwagon. Classy. I don't care for Chrissy. I have made that clear, but I don't care for Yandy either. The entire season Yandy has been the center for fights and foolery. She is all about money and she treats her clients too personally. It's all play and no work with this girl. She would say otherwise, but why do her clients = her brothers?? I question why she and Chrissy are at such odds with one another. I have said all season that Yandy and Jimmy have seen each other's privates. Mona asked her straight up if she'd had sex with Jim. Yandy denies it. Super Side Eyes. I believe that about as much as I believe crack ain't wack. I hope that the self-proclaimed queen bee of LAHH is dethroned next year. She's pulling a NeNe Leakes and threatening to leave the show. Bye bye, birdie!!! I hate when reality stars begin to see themselves as real stars.
 
 
 
Next week marks the return of Basketball Whores. You know I'll be in the building!! SN: RIP Whitney Houston. A real icon...she earned hers, Chrissy. 'Til next time....

Reality For Real Update

Hey Bleeples! I just dropped in to share some foolery that came my way lately on some of our favorite celebrealities! Word on the street is Chrissy Lampkin of Love & Hip Hop is preggers! According to the blogosphere and The Rickey Smiley Morning Show's Gary wit da Tea, the future never Mrs. Jim Jones is carrying his seed! Looks like Mama Jones gets the grandbaby she always wanted.
 
The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kandi Burruss and Kim Zolciak Biermann are both rumored to have their own new reality shows respectively. Andy Cohen has supposedly recruited Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy on The Cosby Show) to replace Kandi and is looking for a spunky, Anglo socialite to replace the wig specialist. My opinion: Fail. Keshia doesn't seem like the reality show kind. PS I don't want anything to do with a show all about Kandi. Sorry.
 
Soul Train isn't a reality show, but its long time host, Don Cornelius was found dead. The police are reporting the cause of death as a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head. The word around the entertainment circuit is that it wasn't suicide but was staged as such. You be the judge.
 
I'd love for you guys to chime and put me on to some stuff I may be overlooking that I definitely shouldn't. You're my peeps! 'Til next time...
