WTF News: Katy Perry & Russell Brand call it Quits.

I'm sad to report that Katy Perry and Russell Brand have decided to divorce. After 14 months of marriage, Russ filed for divorce today in LA. He then released this statement:

"Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends."

We wish them the best and will miss their dynamic energy together on the red carpets.

Drake has found his new Love interest.

Rapper Drake had his team come out and make an official statement about his current relationship status. Of course we all care, this man's love life is full'o strippers and badbitches!

Well, the statement stated: "Yes, Drake & Dollicia are dating. They’re both in L.A. right now spending the Holidays together.”

Apparently he is now dating Video Girl Dollicia Bryan, yet another badbitch. Wonder when they're gonna get one of his ex's on Love & Hip Hop.

WTF News: Kim Kardashian to adopt Haitian orphan.

Kim Kardashian recently took a trip to Haiti which was highly criticized by people like Oprah stating that she was trying to cure the state of her reputation.

It is now being reported that the recently divorced realtiy tv star wants to adopt an orphan from Haiti. A personal friend of Kim told inTouch Mag:

 "She wants to adopt a Haitian baby, and she wants to do it as soon as possible. She's telling friends she wants to adopt because of the awful living conditions she saw in Haiti."

Couldn't Kim wait 'til 2012 for these antics? If she does carry this out, I hope it's actually for the good of a child and not her reputation.

Somaya Reece meets Beyonce.

Love & Hip Hop star cast Somaya Reece hasn't been getting much airtime on the show this second season. The latina recently gave an interview where she mentioned allegedly meeting Beyonce and this is what Bey said to her:

“I recently met Beyonce while we were shopping for shoes and she said “Congratulations Somaya on your career and what you’ve accomplished I’m proud.” Remember I told Olivia about Beyonce? Beyonce has everything she wants in life and did not have to even acknowledge my presence.”

...who beleives her? Not I. You will not lead me to beleive you and Beyonce go shoe shopping together let alone at the same place.

Here is the full interview: Somaya on MDLS

Does Erica Mena have anger issues?

Last night we saw a new episode of VH1's hit reality show, Love & HipHop. This season, they introduced some new girls to the mix. Amongst these women we got Erica Mena last night. Erica is most known as a video girl and babymoms to Raul's from Terror Squad's child.

In the episode, Erica expressed her anger with cast mate Kimbella who she "hadn't" met til later in the show. Once they did meet, Erica proceeded to verbally attack Kimbella and then physically! Comes to no surprise girl's who go on TV to fight do it on their own time.

We found this video of the crazed video girl beating up her babydaddy outside of a Miami club outside!



Do you think this girl has a problem? Let's watch and see what other trouble she gets into.

Guess What: Jhene Aiko signs a Record Deal.

Jhene Aiko recieved nothing but love earlier this year for the release of her mixtape 'Sailing Soul(s)' - the web was set a blaze as the singer/songwriter gave us songs like 'My Mine', 'Hoe', & more.

She posted a photo on her Twitter of her and No I.D. - Def Jam's new A&R. & tweeted "Supriiiiiiiise …… Signed by Dion ! Merry Christmas!” We wish her the best!

The singer is very adamant on expressing her individuality and never compromising that als she did in this post she put on her tumblr:

“just so we’re clear…..I am not your next pop star.
Never wanted to be.
Never want to be.
I am not an entertainer .
I am an inspirer.
I don’t sing songs to entertain and distract.
I write songs to inspire,
to heal,
to bring awareness to…..
myself ……
and if I’m lucky,
to others.
I don’t want to be a tv or movie star.
The closest thing in acting I’ve ever wanted to do is stage plays of the non musical sort
I am not your next “triple threat”
I am not your next Beyonce,
I am not your next Aaliyah…..
I am not Cassie’s competition
nor am i Rihannah’s.
I don’t want to make the world dance,
I want to help the world think,
heal,
be freed
and be true to it’s essence.
I am not your next radio friendly…..
I don’t know what your idea of making it is,
but today I surprised my daughter with her very own room.
I successfully put a roof over me and my soon to be 3 year olds head……
I made that happen.
I made it .

I do not want to be your next pop star
I am not your next pop star
I have a pudgy little nose that I never plan on “fixing” ,
a cup full of butt
tiny tits from breast feeding a child for the full year that nature suggested
( in which, btw…
I never plan on filling back up with any other material other than breast milk)
I am not your next perfectly plump,
slim nosed,
5 foot 7
cover girl.
I am 5 foot 2
And I am not your next popstar.
I am not dedicated to being #1,
the highest paid,
or the most sexually sought after….
I am dedicated to providing for my daughter,
my family
friends
and the world to the best of my ability.
I am dedicated to being happy,
being comfortable,
and being myself.
I don’t need to be rich…..
Never have been,
never wanted to be
and probably never will be
because a person who is truly rich in spirit,
sees no purpose in the excess of anything….
I’d rather give a million people one dollar
than to boast that I myself,
am a millionaire.
I will sing about who I am ,
what I do,
and what I think.
Sometimes it will be similar to your favorite popstar…..
sometimes it will be similar to your favorite politician,
sometimes it will be similar to a respected philosopher
or an unknown astronomer…..
But do not call me these things.
I am just a me ,
as you are
just a you.
PSA to anyone expecting me to be the next of any thing…..
I am the very first ,
and the very last
me.

I am NOT
your next pop star.
- l.a ,
J.A

Rumor Has It: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hookup.

Seems as though Yeezy & Kim K have an unsaid admiration for each other's ethics. Kimmy went to show her admiration for the rapper by attending his LA Watch The Throne show at the Staples Center. The two were supposedly seen coupled up afterwards at an after party & then left together too.


Some time back they were spotted out when Kim was trying her luck at music. Yeezy also made an appearance on her spin-off show during the opening of the NYC DASH store. According to the rappers now famous ex girlfriend, Amber Rose, Kanye did indeed hookup with Kim after their break up.

Game On: Stephen Jackson answers thata about Basketball Wives

Basketball Wives LA has recently ended their first season. Cast member Imani Showalter who we followed on the show in her struggle with love, her ex is now talking about her & the show.

Stephen Jackson, NBA player/rapper appeared on the Joy Daily Show for an interview about the show. He mentions Imani, the show, the women acting like asses & more.

Here are a few excerpts:

On how he feels about the show
Well, I have two kids by a woman that’s on the show and I really don’t have a problem with it. If she can benefit from it and not put my kids to look bad in any light then I don’t have a problem with it. It’s not affecting me at all. They can on there and say what they want; it’s not going to affect me. At the end of the day, we weren’t really married so she’s not really a housewife.

On Imani not dating since they broke up
That’s weird ain’t it? I’m married; it’s been a long time. I don’t won’t no props for that. Move on with your life. I’m married and I’m fine; don’t worry about me and do your thing. I don’t want you.

On if the title of the show is misleading
It should be “Women That Slept With Guys In The NBA.” What’s the girl’s name? Deadra? Deja? [Draya] should be the star if that’s the case because half of them wasn’t married. I thought if you look up the definition of ‘housewife’ it says you’re married, you don’t work and you live at home.

Do you watch the show?
Nah, I don’t watch it. I’ve talked to her [Imani] about it couple times but I could care less as long as my kids are okay.

On his kids being on the show
They were on the show one time; they were drawing and it wasn’t nothing. I wouldn’t get offended anyway because my kids are young and anything they do is not intentional. They don’t know what they’re doing. I love my kids and it’s nothing my kids can do to hurt me and it’s really nothing she can do to hurt me.

On why he feels the show became successful
Reality TV sells. Drama sells. Controversy sells. If they’re going to give you $40,000 to go on TV and make an ass out of yourself, people are going to watch it.

So you think they’re making an ass of themselves?
What do you think? The only one making money is Shaunie. I give her her props because she’s pimping them all. She hasn’t looked bad in one show and I commend her for that. I commend all those women for getting money, being hungry and grinding. I’ll never deny any woman from getting her money.

On if he thinks Shaunie is exploiting the women on the show
You can’t say that she’s exploiting them; she’s making money! It’s a business. You can’t blame her for the way they look on the show because at the end of the day, they’re all grown women. So any situation they are in, they put themselves in; they signed those contracts to go on the show, so you can’t blame Shaunie for none of that. All those women on that show are over 25, over 30, and some of them over 40 and they’re lying. At the end of the day, they know what they’re doing and the blame is solely on them.

Rihanna needs to Rest!

Pop star Rihanna has got to be one of the busiest and hardest working females in music right now. The Caribbean beauty has had all of her time consumed by the release of her latest album and her 101 date LOUD tour.

We recently reported about her conversation with Beyonce where she advised RiRi take a year off. Tweets and other rumors and hints point to Rihanna truly being exhausted.

In a recent performance in London for Capital FM 2011 jingle ball, the singer seemed lazy, short breathed and un-energetic; doesn't sound like herself at all huh? Do you think Rihanna needs to take some time off? Check out the rest of her lackluster performances.
