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....

I'mma Wait For U Outside!

How goes it good bleeples?! This week's installment of LAHH had ya girl a lil' flustered. Hence, it took me a minute to let you guys in on the rachetry! Nonetheless, there is foolishness to discuss. Without further adieu....

 

 

 

It was post re-engagement for Chrissy and Jimmy this week. Last week, we saw Jimmy hand Chrissy a box and let her basically propose to herself. This go 'round we got a little back story on how Jimmy went about asking Chrissy the question she already asked him last year. There's no doubt about it. Jimmy loves Chrissy. He gushed on and on about how she's stuck with him yada yada yada. We get it. My question now is....why re-propose? Shouldn't ya just marry her if you love her so much? But, what do I know, right? Jimmy went thru the trouble to organize a Proposal afterparty with all of their closest family and friends. That was really nice. Although, I don't recall seeing Aunt Cookie or Uncle Ralph in the background. They spearheaded this whole thing. PS shoutout to Mama Jones who still managed to throw some shade at the party. "We'll see where this goes on down the line 20, 30 years from now". Co- and sign on that, Mama Jones.

 

 

 

Olivia wasn't kidding when she said she had a job in Miami. But, before she could do it, we saw her manager, Rich, talking business with Rico Love. Rico is a major music producer who has done work with the likes of P. Diddy and Beyonce. He is currently dabbling in the Teairra Mari basket. He explained this to Rich letting him know that he would help write a hit record for Olivia after he made sure to give our favorite teeny tiny one hit wonder and 2nd hit. So, since we'll all be dead by the time this happens, I'll move on. Everybody knows Olivia's career is DOA. Luther Vandross could come back from the dead and sing for this heffa and she'd STILL lose. Her performance at that club went aiight. Karaoke night is a success again!

 

 

 

Conversely, I told y'all we couldn't trust that little nosy girl, Teairra. She totally hated on Rico Love helping Olivia with anything. She claims she's just watching out for herself. But, hasn't her whole stance on the show been to help people and bring everyone together? Those art naught the words of a hater.

 

 

 

Emily still crying over Fab. She's with him....she cries. She's without him....she cries. I. Can. Not.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, in Yandy and Kimbella's world, there is always drama a'brewin! We got to meet Kimbella's mama. And oh boy was her hair as red as a Chucky doll or was it just me? I think Kimb, Draya, and all the other pretty video vixens of the world got some odd looking mamas....like they got 'em from the same factory. Kim and moms had to work out some of Kimb's childhood frustrations. Basically, its Kimb's mom's fault she's a hoe. Be sorry, moms. Yandy was determined to bring about peace between Kimby and Erica (Mena) since that fight they'd had an episode ago. The ladies hashed out their differences in a very mature manner. They exchanged video hoe chronicles and came to a bit of a happy medium....for now. It wasn't until later into the Miami trip that the real drama started...

 

 

 

Erica and Olivia were hosting a party at some Miami club so I don't know why Chrissy acted surprised to see Erica, Kimbella, or Yandy walk in. I can see it being strange that Kimb and Erica were getting along, but c'mon now. Chrissy wasted no time getting right down to the Yandy drama. Apparently, Yandy's email to Jimmy about quitting involved some comments about Jimmy lacing Chrissy with shoes and bags, etc. Chrissy didn't care for that citing that those items are none of Yan's concern. BUT, if you recall a blog or two ago, I told you guys that there has got to be more to this Yandy-Jimmy-Chrissy thing than just a book or dancing to Mama Jones' song. I suspect that Jimmy and Yandy have been involved way past a manager-client relationship. Only scorned women confront a man on buying other women things. That's personal. A professional couldn't care less what a client purchased let alone for whom. That said, it might not be so difficult to see where all this aggression comes from when Chrissy goes charging at Yandy in the club. It was mostly just words exchanged...I didn't see any actual punches thrown or caught. Miss Chrissy decided she wasn't done with the whole deal so she waited for Yan outside AFTER she called and cried to Jimmy all about it. vH1 made it clear they didn't want no foolishness and carted Yandy outta there faster than an envelope with anthrax in it. As far as fights go, I'd say it fizzled.

 

 

 

Next, the lines get drawn among the ladies, are you TEAMChrissy or TEAMYandy. Also, things are just heating up between Kimbella and Erica! PS Somaya's back.... 'Til then....

Aye, So You Wanna Marry Me, Right?

What's good, bleeples. I'll tell you. Chrissy Lampkin is good....at least for now. Love & Hip Hop didn't disappoint this week with the rachet-assedness. Let's not waste anymore time and get right to the foolishness....

 

 

 

Teiarra Marie is still waving her nosey little head. She and Kimbella met up to discuss the aftermath of that hair brawl Kimby and Erica were involved in on last week's episode. Kimby explained to Teeny (T. Marie's new nickname) that those comments Erica made about Juelz being with other women just wasn't gonna fly. She also shared with us that her mom was one of those females who put up with anything from her man (aka Kimb's dad) as he had cheated with and had families with other women. Kimb declared that she would never be one of these females, but she neglected to decline being one of those females who cheat with the fool (ergo, the Fab situation). Yah, in summary, she can skip me with that bull ish. Teeny claimed she understood where Kimb was coming from, but she still scolded Kimb on her behavior. I got a question. Where in the hell did this lil' one hit wonder get the stones to be in folks business like that?! She makes my nose hairs disintegrate.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, in Yandy's world, Mama Jones and she had to have a talk after Mama Jones' meeting with Chrissy. Chrissy informed Mrs. Nancy and anybody else who would listen that Yandy had given her a book dedicated to better behavior for daughters-in-law. Chrissy expressed disgust in the book and made sure to force that feeling upon anybody listening to her talk about it. Personally, I didn't think the book was that bad. It seemed to me like somewhat of a joke. But, alas, Mama Jones wasn't too keen on the book either and let Yandy know about it. This move sparked a snowball effect of Yandy breaking away from Jimmy as her brother/client for good. There was alot going on with Ms. Yandy this week. From having a heart to heart with Kimbella on their deadbeat dads to passing off potential clients to other entertainment managers, Ms. Thing was busy. She tried to pass Erica off on Rich Dollaz. I think he's gonna bite, but he's not going to be managing her singing. This heffa couldn't sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider for me. Her voice is CRAP. She had the nerve to say she has a vocal coach who is helping her perfect her "craft". Here's a thought: Kill yo' self. I like that better. ...Not only did Yandy have a heart to heart with Kimbella, she met with Juelz as well. She felt like he would have some good advice on how to deal with the whole Jim scenario. Her ultimate decision was to let him go as a client seeing as how he's stopped answering her calls and just won't act right. What a shame. I mean it ain't like "Ballin'" is still on the Top 100 on iTunes. How has he been maintaining other than Yandy's help? He hasn't. That's how. Hope Chrissy knows what she's doing. She has no income.

 

 

 

Emily didn't have too much action going so we ain't really gotta talk about her. As for Somaya, even she acknowledged on Twitter Monday night that she hasn't seen too much of herself on this season. Fans were tweeting her saying, "you gonna be on #LoveAndHipHop this week?". Her reply, "IDK, doubt it." That's some crap. vH1 needs to start being held accountable for asking these folks on then just dropping them to fit someone less entertaining in....I mean, Teiarra Marie? Sir.

 

 

 

Olivia broke the news to the ladies on a shopping excursion that she had a fun-filled work weekend in Miami coming up. This was the perfect opportunity for the ladies to get away from the perils of NYC or should I say Jersey cuz that's where all these hoes actually reside. Chrissy took this opportunity and ran. She and Jimmy had a little argument one morning about his participation in their relationship as it were. He doesn't think he's doing anything wrong, but Chrissy is fed up beyond fed up with his marriage dodging ways. Thus, she ran to the MIA to get away from him and lie to the girls about how she's leaving him. Needless to say, Jimmy showed up. He was very nervous. I could tell. So, he turned the whole scene into somewhat of an argument and then showed Chrissy the box. He placed it in her hand, and she proposed to herself. She instructed him to place the ring on her finger. The job was done. She can shut up now for the next year. Might I add that last week I predicted he would do this and I also said it wouldn't be sweet cuz she already proposed. Ok, just wanted to remind you. Now if he had've brought a Justice of the Peace, he would've floored me.

 

 

 

Next week, it goes down with Chrissy and Yandy. Finally! I might even go down with Kimbella and Erica again. 'Til next time....

Boxing Ring, Yes! Wedding Ring, No!

Hey bleeps! What's really good in the neighborhood? Things aren't looking so good in NYC this week on LAHH. These hoes are definitely whilin....Now's as good a time as any to catch up on what's been going on with the Burrow Queens this season.

 

 

Emily is probably the saddest story line right now. Sad as in pathetic. So far, we saw Kimbella get her butt kicked for admitting to a relationship with Fab while Ms. Em was pregs at her independence party. Then, she called her little friend Teairra Mari in for um, support, I guess. This heffa ain't left. Dontcha just hate when certain invited guests never know when to leave? Plus, T. Mari is an attractive one hit wonder so who's to say she ain't been up under Fab too. Now, after what like 2 weeks separated from Ol' Snaggle Toof, this hoe admits to everybody that she and Fab are dating again. C'mon now! What were we celebrating your independence from??? It's just not a good look if ya ask me.

 

 

Somaya. Have you seen her?? Tell me, have you seen her? Last time we saw her, her fly was unzipped in front a room full of people. Guess vH1 didn't care too tough for that, cuz mamacita is a'missing! We'll miss you, Amazonga!

 

 

 

Olivia has been whining and crying all season with her wimpy bug faced manager. Why the tears? Her career is in the crapper and forever will be. Now, she's blaming her mama for the demise of her future defunct music career. When she was younger, her mom called her a hoe and would write her letters expressing her disgust with who Liv hangs out with, wore today, etc. Boo hoo, gal! We all had effed up mamas and no good daddies. Hit us again with another excuse. Since Somaya's not around, Liv hasn't had much room to hate. But, she still managed to give terrible advice to Ms. Kimbella. We'll discuss that more in a minute.

 

 

 

Yandy is doing her thing on the show this season. I haven't quite made my mind up about her yet. On the one hand, she's this business woman handling her many clients and getting things done. I respect that. On the other, every time she brings a guest to someone's gathering Kimbella gets beat up/some ish pops off. I can't respect that. That comes off as a bit messy to me. I feel like Yandy knows these people won't get along but expects them to anyway. She and Chrissy have had at least one run in this season. I gotta say, I'm on team Yandy with this one. Chrissy is a jealous, attention whore for the most part. She wants from the world what she gets from Jimmy. Yandy doth not equal Jimmy....and the rest of us neither.

 

 

Chrissy has been looking crazy all season. She's been pretending like she doesn't know Jim has no desire to marry her. Why buy the cow when he been getting this heiffer for free? I agree with Jimmy that its stupid. Jimmy is like those people that been stealing cable for years and then clams up when the cable company insists on box. Thus far, he's lost the ring, purchased a new car, started a clothing line, and so on. This time around, Chrissy has recruited her aunt Cookie and uncle Ralph as a last ditch effort to get Jimmy to finally see the errors of his dodgy ways. Jimmy's convo with uncle Ralph exposed some things we didn't know about Chrissy's background. Turns out auntie Cookie asked uncle Ralph's hand in marriage too. So, as my colleague Ms. Lexi says, Chrissy comes from a long line of begging women. LOL! We'll get to see next week if it worked.

 

 

 

Finally, Ms. Kimbella stays getting beat up somewhere. Ugh! On the season premiere, Chrissy put a hurting on that blond head. Now, a new latin mami, Erica, came in 38 hot on Kimby. Apparently, Erica and Kimby were competition for modeling/video gigs in Miami. According to E, chicks like Kimbella do "stuff" for free which depreciates the value of these models and makes it hard for women looking for a paycheck to get one. Uh, for some reason, I just don't think Kimby or none of her model cohorts depreciate the value of video hoeing....its already pretty low level. Just an observation. Anyway, Erica approached Yandy for management/representation. So, Yandy decided to try to incorporate her into the LAHH circle. Needless to say, it didn't go well. After exchanging words on Kimby's hoe quotient and Juelz's indiscretions, Kimby threw wine glasses and the hair pulling fest ensued! It was a mess baby. And if that wasn't bad enough, Erica called the police to a fight she started. Yep, I've made my decision on her.....No Bueno.

 

 

 

Next week, I predict Jim Jones is gonna propose to Chrissy. This would be nice, except she already did that. Unless he planned a surprise wedding, this goes into the "Same Sh*t, Different Day" file. 'Til then.....

Hot Mess of the Week: LAHH's Olivia Longott

Come one, come all to see the greatest hater on Earth! Love & Hip Hop's Olivia Longott ain't mincing no words this season. Her target of choice? Somaya "Boss" Reece. These ladies have been baby beefing (fighting a lil' bit) since the 1st season of vH1's hit show. As we all know, Somaya is an up and comer in the hip hop game while Olivia is a self-proclaimed veteran. Olivia has worked with the likes of Clive Davis and 50 Cent. And, she makes sure to remind us of it repeatedly. After Somaya's rant on a popular hip hop website about making Olivia "relevant again", Olivia has not been able to stomach Somaya.

 

 

 

On this week's episode of LAHH, Somaya and Olivia met up. Somaya attempted to squash any of the drama between them. While discussing Somaya's recent talent showcase, Olivia expressed that she thinks Somaya is talentless and shouldn't be in the music biz at all. She also says that she and Somaya shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence because they are on two completely different levels. And, what would your level be Olivia? I'm gonna go with Loser for 200, Alex. Is this chick serious? Fact: Olivia has had at least 3 separate record deals. If I have my information correct, 50 cent and G-Unit are still relatively big names in hip hop. Clive Davis dropped her. 50 dropped her. Hell, even her parents dropped her from their house (where she's been living the past couple years). I agree with Olivia. She and Somaya are not on the same level. At least Somaya still has a chance in hell. Been watching American Idol lately? Talentless people win. I'm just saying. Furthermore, Somaya as flighty as she is, has a shoe line and made Olivia a personalized pair of shoes (see above). Do you know Olivia STILL didn't appreciate them? WTF does she want Somaya to do? She can't make Jive Records pay you boo boo. Just squash this ish so we can all get along and make Martin Luther King, Jr., Rodney King, and baby Jesus happy. Wanna hear more of Olivia's hateration? Check out this link and get it from the horse or whatever...http://blog.vh1.com/2011-11-29/olivia-defends-her-opinion-of-somaya-in-her-recap-of-love-and-hip-hop-episode-3/.

 

 

 

Til next time bleeps....
