If you didn't catch last nights season premiere of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood here's what you missed...

Christopher Milan

The cast returns with some new faces and new situations this season.  Milan Christopher is the newest cast member to the Hollywood franchise.  He is an openly gay music producer which is rare in Hollywood and he was not afraid to showcase those details of his life one bit.   Christopher is a music producer and model who has worked with artist such as  Beyonce' and Kanye.  Christopher is seeming to have a struggle with the fact that his boyfriend isn't out of the closet yet.  Miles Brock (Chris Milan's boyfriend) doesn't appear to be ready to come out yet.  He has some concerns which comes in the form of family.  He isn't ready to tell his family because he doesn't know how they will take it. Could there be more to the story than that? WELL THERE IS because Miles someone else is in love with Miles besides Chris and that someone is female rapper Amber Hunter and she isn't aware of Miles sexuality.  I guess we will have to keep watching.  YOU KNOW I WILL!  I will say this though>>>>>  YOU MUST BE PLANNING TO COME OUT VERY SOON BECAUSE ONCE YOU START FILMING A NATIONAL TELEVISION SHOW THERE IS NO MORE CLOSET!!!  People do get that right????????

Moving along...

Apryl

 Apryl and Omarion are both enjoying parenthood with their son Mega.

Omarion

 Now that Apryl has bounced back she is ready to get back out into the scene how she was before she was pregnant.  She is ready to get back to the money, but before she does that she has a plan for getting back to "the nasty" as she calls it!  See Apryl and O haven't been doing to well in the smash department because there little boy is always interrupting.  Apryl talked things over with her girl Nikki and Nikki decided to hook her up with some sexy under garmets to help them get their groove back!  Apryl took very well to this and showed up at O's dance rehearsals very sexy and demanded her mans time so that they could get "nasty."  LAWD I HOPE NOBODIES KIDS ARE READING THIS.

ANYWHO...

Ray J is still being his simple self.  He has his girlfriend Princess Love concerned about his fidelity as usual.  The two have went through some rough times outside of filming the show.  An argument between them landed Princess Love in jail and she seems to have some resentment toward Ray for that.  When all seems forgiven Princess Love meets with Ray J and before deciding to give him another chance she throws an ultimatum on the table.  Princess Love wants Ray J to get rid of his apartment on the side because she doesn't feel a man in a relationship should have an extra apartment. WAIT I JUS HAD A FLASH BACK TO ANOTHER LOVE & HIP HOP FRANCHISE.... DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN IN A............ Never mind I'm back! LOL   So anyway Ray J obliges but in normal Ray J idiotic fashion he throws a bon voyage party for the damn apartment and hires a bunch of strippers to come and dance for he and his guests.   Princess Love catches the tea and barges in on the party.  Ray J looks foolish and PL is disrespected by one of the dancers which sends her into a rage. She goes into full attack mode, but before she could totally wreck shop security steps in!!!

It was surprising to see Princess Love reach out to Tiearra Mari and for Tiearra to be open to giving her advice on the situation between PL and Ray.  All seems to be good between the two after their conversation BUT I know I am not the only person who saw that shady ass face Tiearra made after the two women hugged each other.  The previews didn't even have to tell me that there is shade to come!!!


The ultimate gagger was when Moniece announced that she is dating someone new and that someone is Love and Hip Hopper Richie Dollaz!!!!!!!!!  I HIT THE FLOOR!!!  I couldn't even swallow that tea it was son funny.

Alright my good people...Please keep watching this season of Love and Hip Hop Hollywood.  I will be keeping you recapped and letting you know my thoughts each week.  Always feel free to comment so we can start a conversation!!    Don't forget to follow me on social media sites and tell a friend  to tell a friend that...

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills (One landed in the cuckoos nest!!!)

It should be no surprise to know that I watch every house wives franchise and that includes the real rich b*****s in Beverly Hills.  The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills  are a festive bunch of women who sometimes mistake having nice things with having class.

Brandi Glanville

On last weeks episode Brandi Glanville hosted her own housewarming party which was like none I've ever been to, and I mean that in the best way.  It was quite fancy!  She invited a lot of people including her housewives cast mates.  Brandi even invited Lisa Vanderpump.  Lisa turned down the invitation originally because of her an Brandi's broken friendship.  The last time the ladies were together they talked a little and Brandi felt she wanted Lisa to come because she wants Lisa back as a friend.  Anyone who watches the show regularly knows Lisa is not that easy to befriend again!  Once she feels you have crossed her it is a challenge to win her back.  That is why it was shocking to see Lisa show up to Brandi's house and with a gift in hand.  Lisa made it very clear that she was still not fully sure about Brandis intentions and that baby steps might be a start for them if anything.  Brandi being a little aggressive pushes the issue and it isn't hard to tell when Lisa becomes a little annoyed.  The party at Brandi's house was successful and the drama seemed to not be.


When the Ladies got together again for a charity event at PUMP, Lisa's newest restaurant  there was some tension when Brandi was still trying to reach out to Lisa.  Brandi thought it would be funny to extend Lisa an

Lisa Vanderpump

olive branch, but she literally ripped a branch off of the tree in Lisa's establishment.  Lisa was furious, but she laughed it off because she was clearly uncomfortable and did not want to cause a scene at her event.  Brandi invited Lisa to lunch and the two were able to apologize and come to some kind of understanding of their differences.  I think that it is good to see them move forward, but anytime you agree to move forward you should not keep being petty, nor should you be pushy.  Lisa and Brandi are cordial at this point so all seems to be well with the group. 


BUT BRANDI'S WORK IS NEVER DONE

This weeks episode...


Lisa Rinna, Brandi Glanville, Eileen Davidson, and Yolanda Foster are out to dinner together.  They are all enjoying themselves.  Brandi updates the on her lunch with Lisa V and everyone is pleased to here that they seem to be moving forward in a positive manner.  Things didn't get weird until the conversation turned to Eileen talking about how her and her husband met and got together.  Eileen met her husband on the set of Days of our lives which is the show she is on.  Brandi was annoyed because she knew that Eileen and her husband were both married when they got together.

Eileen Davidson

  Eileen explained everything and Brandi appeared to understand and even respect Eileens story, but then I think the wine kicked in.  Brandi got into super fan mode and was obsessing over Eileen begging her to act out a scene from her show.  Eileen was not down for that and dismissed the idea.  Brandi was not happy and after several threats of throwing a drink on Eileen she ACTUALLY DID IT!!!  I think me and everyone else watching are still trying to figure out WHY??  It made no sense.  That chick is looney.  All of the women were shocked.  It was so strange.


The next time Brandi saw Eileen she apologized and gave her a necklace as a peace offering.  They were able to move forward, but Eileen has made it clear that she cannot trust a cuckoo clock!!!  LOL (my words not hers)


 Anywho  all is well that ends well I guess.  Be sure to check out The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Tuesday nights at 9pm on Bravo!

Fix My Choir! (That's the name of this show!!!)

Fix My Choir is an amazing new show on Oxygen Network!  If you have not had an opportunity to check it out, then make sure you tune in ASAP!  When the promotion for this show began I was just excited to see Michelle Williams and Deitrick Haddon in what I thought was going to be some type of choir competition show.  Fix My Choir is much more than that.  Michelle and Deitrick have set out to travel the nation

searching for Choirs that need help getting back to where they once were.  But this is not only about the choirs vocal abilities as it is about the choirs abilities to work together as a whole.

So far we have been introduced to some amazing choirs and on last night's episode we got to know Victor Bell and Halel.  Victor Bell is the leader of the Gospel music group Victor Bell and Halel.  In 2009 the group was set to do a live recorded concert.  Tickets were sold and hopes were high, but the devastation of a terrible California storm would put a hold on the show, and a dark cloud over the group.

  Victor shut down after the storm ended their recording session.  He walked away from his group and left them feeling alone and embarrassed.  People were upset that they bought tickets to the show, and the members of the choir were left to defend themselves without a leader, which caused a lot of tension.  After a long break Victor decided to revive the choir and even recruited some new members.  This seemed like a marvelous idea except for the fact that he wasn't finished solving what was already wrong with the original choir and its members.


Michelle and Deitrick have stepped in and with the help from the spirit of God, were able to get these choir members to open up and reveal their issues with the past, the present, and the future.  They did some wonderful group exercises that helped the new and seasoned members set aside their differences and come together.  Deitrick and Michelle only have five days to work with these choirs, and although Rome wasn't built in a day, God created this world in 6 days and so I'm sure he would bless his children to be able to work through minor situations in a short time.


The concert was a hit, and everyone seemed like they were pleased, especially the skeptical audience members who felt like they were left hanging the first time around.  Fix My Choir has absolutely been a blessing to watch.  Oxygen has hit a homerun with this one!  Be sure to get your dose of Fix My Choir every Wednesday night!  You will be blessed!   Thanks for reading :)

Hollywood Divas (That's Questionable!)

These Hollywood Divas have totally lost me.  They are giving the word DIVA it's old meaning back!!  These cats will scratch and bite and scratch some more!!!!

I am not understanding this groups dynamic at all.  More importantly how or WHY it even got started.  If this show was the idea of Paula Jai Parker or bringing the girls together was her idea, then why in the world would't she choose to work with people she actually likes??

Don't get me wrong I get that all of these ladies "feel" like they are professionals, but this show is a hot mess.  I was so down for this show before it aired.  I even ignored the skeptics who predicted that a mess was unfolding.  Hollywood Diva's have done nothing but disappoint so far.  The egos of these women are terrible.  Besides Countess Vaughn, the rest of these women need a huge ego check.  As I said before, when will these so called divas realize that they agreed to come on the show because their careers were obviously lackluster.  Wouldn't it be a smart thing to ACTUALLY work TOGETHER to do an amazing project that the fans would love to see?!?!?

I keep watching in hopes that they will figure something out.  Golden just seems like she has to have all of the attention.  It's like she has to be glorified to feel important.  People are not going to continue to glorify Maya.  You have to get into Golden and stop complaining and nit picking with the other ladies.  Elise is almost 50 years old and honestly she never sold it as a burlesque dancer which is why the Pussy Cat Dolls probably said "we got this boo you just keep acting" #JustTea #NoShade

Lisa Wu is being Lisa Wu.  She is a reality star.  Put producer/actor/writer behind her name and that is all well and good.  The truth of the matter is, however, that Lisa Wu is a reality star.  She put a lot of time in on The Real Housewives of Atlanta so she knows how to play the game.  Lisa has this show on lock better than the "Ac-Tor's" as a lot of them liked to say it on last night's episode.  Lisa is doing some petty drama stirring.  I am not surprised by her actions at all, because although I think she is honestly a good person.  She knows how to sell the show.

Countess Vaughn should probably be a little more firm in her position as well.  She can have more respect if she just demands it in the right way.  I also feel like people like Countess have way more ideas and thoughts, but allow overbearing people to scare them out of expressing themselves.  Countess is very talented, but her intimidation is shining through more than anything.  It is kind of sad to watch because I am a huge fan!

I don't know what will come of this show in the next few weeks, but I am still hoping for something good.  Stay tuned!

#JareBearSaidIt

Hollywood Divas airs Wednesday nights at 10/9c on TVOne

K. Michelle My Life (She's Baaaaacccckkkkkk)

Kimberly Pate  aka K. Michelle is back on the TV screen.  This time ON HER OWN SHOW!

Thank you for this VH1.  "K. Michelle My Life" aired last night and for a season premiere it was on point!

 K introduced us to her new life in New York City.  She even introduced us to her son.  It is clear that she is trying a new approach to life and wants to reveal her more pleasant side.  K has expressed how she wants to be a bit different when dealing with the people around her.  Furthermore she wants to change the way she deals with people in the industry.  With that said she also did not fail to remind us of her past with some clips of previous experiences on reality TV.  To me that shows growth, and it is refreshing to see someone who can recognize their issues instead of denying everything all of the time like some other reality stars we know.


K Michelle kicked off her series with her friend Paris and make up artist/friend Jonathan.  Paris and Jonathan were not hard to immediately fall in love with.  They seem to be really good friends to K, and we all know good friends are hard to come by.  Paris is a pretty girl with mad energy.  She seems really fun and very
protective of K.  She also has that East Coast swagger that I live for being an East Coast guy myself! LoL
Jonathan appears to be very down to earth and trustworthy!  Seeing the person who makes my fave look even more gorgeous everyday is pretty cool.  He ain't hard on the eyes either!!!

But ummmmmmm Tracy tho!!!

OK so I am not one to straight bash someone I don't know personally so I wont.  Ok sometimes I will but not this time!  Tracy is K's friend who she fell out with because Tracy was spending K's money without permission.  That would be called a thief.  Tracy claimed that K was there while she used her card, but K says she had no idea and she was obviously pissed off about.  After not speaking to Tracy or accepting her calls, she finally decided that in order to get her dog back from Tracy she would have to deal with the situation at hand.

Jonathan, being the peacemaker decided that to keep K calm he would mediate the situation but when Tracy brought the dog over some hell did break loose!  At first Tracy didn't want to admit her wrongs which pissed K. Michelle all the way off.  K snapped at Tracy when Tracy tried to bring up K's past, which had absolutely nothing to do with their problem.  After some yelling and harsh words Tracy folded under the pressure and exited K's house.  Jonathan ran after her to get her to grow up and face her problem so that she could attempt to mend her friendship with K.  After what appeared to be a sincere apology from Tracy, K was able to calm down and even agreed to allow a homeless Tracy to stay with her.

 K Michelle is proving that she values friendships and that she also demands to be respected!  Who doesn't want those traits??

I am really looking forward to the rest of this season.  Next Monday can't get here fast enough.  Oh yeah and why my girl only get 30 minutes VH1????  WE WANT MORE K!!!!!!!  CTFU  Ok I'm out for now!  TTY guys Later!  Don't forget to tell a friend that...

#JareBearSaidIt

Hollywood Divas (You haven't seen shade 'til NOW!)

How shady are these Ladies?? Let me count the ways!!



1.  Elise is clearly the ultimate diva so far.  She has made it very clear that she is above all of the other actresses on the show.  This blows my mind because I always thought she was one of the corniest actresses on TV!!!! (Shady moment!)  Once Paula came to her with the project she had planned, Elise was very skeptical from the gate.  She was made aware that other women would be involved in the project and she wanted no involvement unless the women were on what she feels is her level in the industry.  tsk tsk tsk!  I'll get back to her!


2.  Golden Brooks met crossed paths with Countess Vaughn in an acting class.  Golden was exuding shade the moment she walked through the door and Countess turned around to greet her!!  I felt it if Countess didn't.  BUT WAIT...what's all the shade about boo...yall are in the same acting class  AND both of your old shows are on rerun SO WHAT'S THE TEA GOLDEN???  Somebody help me understand.  The two ladies were put together in an improv scenario and it was not hard to tell that the ladies took it up a notch.  They were both showcasing good talent, but they were coming for each other and from my point of view Miss Golden started the reading session!  Countess is no amateur though because as subtle as it may have seemed, she through jabs right back to Golden EASY!

3.  Lisa Wu GIRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLL I know you packed your boxing gloves for this trip to LA!!!  Now most of yall may know that Lisa was one of the original Housewives of Atlanta.  What many don't know about her is that she is from California and has worked in the industry for many years.  These actresses cannot take that she has been invited to join them for Paula's project.  You know coming from "reality tv" and all.  They didn't give the girl a chance at first meeting.   It was a mess how rude they were!!


4.  I was shocked to find out Paula was living in a motel with her husband and son!!!  I thought she was well off.  I mean I do realize she hasn't had too much recent success, but I just assumed she was one of those actresses who took some time to work behind the scenes.  WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO???? She has put in a lot of work during her career!  I was baffled!  Miss thang needs to get it together though.  I am so confused at why she would want to bring all of these women together and then be shady toward them all at the same time.  It seems as though she is bitter towards 2 out of four of the women so why did she bring them on??  That just seems a little weird to be but whatever works for her I guess.

5.  I don't know about you guys but I was extremely happy to see Countess back on tv!  I love her through it all.  It would be amazing to see her get her career back on track.  People still love and support her, but it is definitely time for some new roles and Kim is a great actress.  I pray that her confidence level can be restored and that she can be happy with her self because it is sad to see anyone struggle with self acceptance and not fitting in.  I just hope these girls don't get too rude to her because she already seems uncomfortable around them.  They are a little bourgeoisie and they seemed to ignore her a lot when they were all together.  Honestly I think that is sad because she paved the way for all of their careers!!!

This show could be a train wreck!  I mean when will these divas learn that whenever you sign up to do a show like this that means you are all on the same level!!! Now it is your job to work together to come up!!!  The black community in entertainment need to really become more graceful.  Cliques and groups are understandable because that is just a natural thing that happens with the human race.  People just need to learn to be more respectful and helpful.  Maybe that's a dream world, but all of these women were dreamers before they were stars and the made things happen.  It's time to start making things happen again.  More heads are better than one so they might as well join forces and get their power back!  Hollywood waits for no one, but fans do and fans want to see good spirited people!  Don't disappoint us Divas!


First episode was deep!!  Hope you guys enjoyed this review :)  Until next time...

#JareBearSaidIt

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (There is some love in Hip Hop!)

I'mma dive right in!!!

WHEN will certain women learn.  Berg could not be making it anymore clear that he wants no relationship with Hazel E.  He doesn't want a relationship with anyone for that matter!!  She didn't see that he had to get drunk to even sleep with her. THIS IS SOME SAD ish!  Then the chick had to to wake up to him being in the next room instead of boo loving with her.  Well it gets to the point where you stop being mad at the guy and start being mad at the girl.  LEAVE HIS ASS ALONE!!!  If you looking for love and to be held down then you need to look somewhere else Hazel E dang!  I'm fed up with that nonsense.  How in the world do you sit on camera crying about a dude who has told you time and time again he isn't settling down.  There is weak and there is dumb.  I'm not name calling I'm just saying what's out there.  You guys can determine what to do with the words.  ;)  

Omarion's momma got to come better.   How do you show up to a young woman's baby shower and totally disrespect her.  Why couldn't Momma O (that's what Imma call her) just stay at home if she was't feeling it.  Apryl seems very strong, but why should she have to stress when she is however many months pregnant and at her own damn shower???  That just floors me that people are so inconsiderate.  It's your son's child in there Momma O!!!  Get it together. Apryl is better than most people I know because "I love you babe, but your mom has to vacate the premises.  She is team WAY too much.  A person who is ill and acts like that makes it hard for you to even feel bad about them being sick.  Yall can correct me if yall think I'm wrong, but my compassion would go out of the window when the disrespect started!  

Fizz & his girl seem to be doing pretty well.  Fizz is stepping up and seems to be really relationship oriented.  It is not hard to understand why his girl would be a little hesitant about becoming a family with another womans child.  It is a huge responsibility and she should be allowed some time to decide.  I will say this though.  Fizz you have let the world know that she has been unfaithful to you once so now we are looking at her with different  eyes than we were last week.  She may be worried about the baby momma drama, but if he is wearing his heart on his sleeve as it appears then he needs to be careful and make sure he is protecting himself and his son.  

Morgan Morgan Morgan!!!  The typical reality show trouble maker.  She is the passive aggressor and two faced chick.  I guess I can't be too mad at her since she knows her role and plays the part.  If she wasn't starting mess pretending to cover it in "bringing the girls together"  she would have no relevance on the show.  Most shows need their Morgan, as annoying as she may be!

The little love triangle between Mally and the two chicks we don't know is just pathetic.  The main reason is because this dude is not even hot!  I mean not to be fighting over especially.  I don't even know what else to say about that situation because both ladies got played and until they realize that & stop pointing the finger at each other, they won't have a clue!  Sad I know...

IF THAT GIRL MOVES IN WITH SOULJAH BOY #nuffsaid

Same time next week!  

#JareBearSaidIt

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (Melodramaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood is  two episodes in after last nights show.  Were you watching??  I have to be honest.  I feel like this show is a little weak.  The drama is unfolding, but at what cost??

It seems like friendships are being broken just for camera time and drama!  I mean Ray J's assistant is clearly playing both sides when it comes to her friendship with he and Teairra.  She talked mad mess behind Teairra's back on the first episode.  Then she turns around and calls herself defending her during T's spas out at the RayJ.com party, but turns right around talks mess on her again in the midst of the commotion.   Wait a minute tho...  THEN SHE IS GOIN TO BE BACK TO DEFENDING HER AGAIN WHEN SHE MEETS WITH RAY NEXT EPISODE!!!   Oooool I wish I had emojis on this laptop!!!!  These chicks clearly never were friends.  I think Teairra should see that the assistant chick was only on her team while she was on Ray J's team.  The two girls may have thought they were friends, but they NEVER were and they should just leave it at that.  (Only observations not facts!)


Now for the melodrama.  IF TEAIRRA DOES NOT STOP WITH HER RAH RAH ANTICS!!!  I just feel like if you are tough you don't have to prove it all of the time.  If you are an ass kicker it will show when you kick some ass.  People will begin to recognize that you kick ass and some may fall back and some may kick your ass back! lol I'm just saying.  It seems like in every scene Teairra has to basically make it known "that she ain't the one."  This makes her appear to be somewhat insecure, and somewhat of a bully.

 From the outside looking in however, I see that Teairra may have some serious trust issues, and from the looks of things she may have every right.  It seems like she has been played on all angles from friendships to relationships.  This is what probably makes her lash out.  Now I'm no Psychologist but I can understand when a person feels like they have to be on attack mode because of distrust.  The smart thing would be to remove yourself from the situation rather than lose yourself in it.  JAREBEARSAYS  Teairra's talent cannot be denied, but this show can either hurt or help her career.  It's not looking good tho T.  Leave the heartbreak in the past and move forward boo.  If you are going to use Love & Hip Hop to rebuild your career and fan base, then give these women and girls out here something positive to look to.  We all love a little drama.  That is why we watch, but we also love to see people prosper so get to work!

Fizz is having baby mama drama.  I don't even think it is cool.  I say this because his bm is coo coo!!!  She cannot be concerned about her son.  She is causing unecessary drama all in the name of her son.  She is coming between Fizz's two year relationship.  It is sad to say, but the girl is a mess.  She is not over Fizz and anyone watching knows it.  She still hasn't asked to see her son in all of this, but shes having meetings with the girlfriend.  IS THIS CHICK SERIOUS???  Actions speak LOUD!  How are you calling this girl to a restaurant to sit across from her and call her names.  It was so ratchet.  She doesn't even know Fizz's girl but the girl is raising her child.  Why can't she thank her for being there when she isn't able to be.  For making sure her son gets home from school safely.  I don't get it.  Why make problems where there should be none?  This chick is looney.  That's all there is to that.


Yung Berg is a talented producer... #Thatsall


Souljah Boy...Uggghhhhh I don't even like to say that name.  It's no shade...ok yes it is!  That dude gross's me out.  Anyway...Why is Nia surprised about the info she received about he and Karrine??  You have been dating this dude on and off for 8 years and everything he has done in those years have been the focus of hip hop media.  I mean it's not wrong to feel hopeful that some one can change or be better, but COME ONNNNNNNNN this clown is not that person.  Not at this point in his life anyway.  He was so quick to find the dumbest reason to dismiss her at the studio when she came to talk to him.  It was not hard to see that he knew he was wrong, and chose not to deal with it by making her feel bad about it.    I hate to be negative, but some of these people just take you there!!




All of the artist on the show should rethink their purpose before they continue to down grade themselves.  Reality tv is a fad and can be gone tomorrow like the last big thing.  Will these stars be around after reality tv or will they fade to black... I guess we'll have to wait to see.  I'm not going to go on because there will be more to discuss next week.  So if you didn't get it anywhere else at least you know....

Tune in Monday Night's at 8/9c! on VH1

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood (New City, Same Game!)

Bye Bye Atlanta...

The series premiere of Love and Hip Hop took place last night  on vh1.  The newest addition to the franchise just happens to be in the city where dreams come to life.  Yeah that's right Hollywood, California.  With all that goes on in these television shows, you would think that the fact that they are filming this new series in Hollywood would give people a chance to actually see these artist hard at work on their careers.  WELL OF COURSE THAT IS NOT THE CASE!  Mona Scott is clearly not interested in shedding too much positive light on the participants of these shows and it is evident that these artist are just looking to maintain fame rather than actually rebuilding their careers.  TV IS ALL ABOUT RATINGS.  Most of them are lacking in the career department, which is why they even get involved with these shows.
                    @RayJ

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood stars Ray J who most of you know is an R&B singer/actor.  He formerly dated singer Teairra Marie, who is also a cast member.  She and Ray J are no longer in a relationship.  In fact Ray J actually has a new girlfriend who is also a part of the show.  I GUESS Teairra GOT THE MEMO A LITTLE TOO LATE because she acted out all up and through this episode.  Teairra is highly pissed off that Ray J has moved on.  She had it in her head that there was still a chance for her and Ray, but Ray shut that down.  In normal idiotic fashion Ray decides to invite Teairra to an event he had where his girlfriend would be as well.  His assistant Morgan warned Ray that it was a bad idea, but who does Ray J listen to??? So Teairra shows up, gets taunted by Ray's girlfriend, Princess Love, and Teairra get's in full attack mode!!!  Drinks flew and blows were thrown before security had to immediately stop things from going any further.

              @MissTMari

Teairra is a beautiful girl, but something aint right with her.  It could just be the Detroit in her, but she seems broken.  She has a very hard exterior for such a pretty girl and her anger is written all over her face.  I am no Dr, Phil and TRUST I have issues of my own that need to be worked on, but They put it on tv for us so Imma talk about it.  Teairra can really sing so why isn't she putting out music???  Well she admitted that she was dropped from her label, but looking at how she is acting so far on this show.  She may be scaring people like my FAVE used to do! lol Yall know who I'm talking about.  Teairra if you ever see this blog I just want you to know that we all got a lil crazy in us so I'm not judging you boo.  I just want to hear the music so please get back to it!  THANKS :)               @1OMARION

Omarion is on the show with his girlfriend, Apryl Jones, who is now his babies mother as well.  Now we all know Love & Hip Hop can't exist without some body letting their crazy mother get involved.  In the history of Love & Hip Hop you know that it takes a ratchet mother to stand behind a talented son and get all up in the middle of his ADULT LIFE!  Omarion's mother has made it clear what her role will be in the show right away.  WE SEE U MOMMA, but do we have to??????????????  IJS Anyway Omarion and his girlfriend seem to be happy together and since the shows taping they have welcomed their child into the world.  Omarion is pretty established in the music industry.  He is currently signed to Maybach Music Group where he will be releasing his upcoming album.  O seemed to get a lot of negative comments from people on twitter last night.  But like a man with good sense he brushed the haters off and retweeted plenty of positive tweets from his fans.  When you are talented and aware of what you have offered throughout your career the haters can't be anything but motivators.  Omarion needs to just stay focused and keep up the great work.  We see you!

Souljah Boy...
I'm not gonna go there.  I'd rather just watch the hot mess unfold.  I will say this though... Teddy Riley we are praying for you and your daughter.  She seems like a very nice girl who may want to consider a new boyfriend.  It's no shade but my daughter WOULD NOTTTTTTTTTT even be able to think about dating that guy!

Fizz formerly of B2K has made his way back into the limelight.  He is definitely having some baby momma drama, which is sad because he appears to be responsible for his son.  I am most interested in his story line because a lot of black fathers do not get portrayed well on television.  It would be great to see a man step up to the plate while still trying to work hard and provide.  Idk what Fizz has been doing since B2K but he still has his looks and obviously still has his connections so we will just bid him good luck.  Hopefully this show will bring good things to him.  His baby mother on the other hand seems a little janky!!  YEAH I SAID IT!!! She a lil gold digger who doesn't seem too concerned about her son.  She is clearly more pissed off that she isn't with Fizz.  What the hell is up with these chicks still thinking that in 2014 having a baby will keep you and your man together?????  #NORELATIONSHIPGOALS

Preachers of L.A. (Family First)

I have grown to enjoy this show.  I was hesitant at first because I was't sure of the shows angle.  Were they exploiting the church?  Were they just trying to flash their money???  I even asked if they were really ordained!!!  One thing I did not consider in the beginning was that they were people just like you and I.  Yes guys preachers are people too! lol

Since the show first aired last year I have noticed a lot of viewers have had some of the same feelings I had, and via social media I have also noticed a lot of changes in thoughts and opinions.  I feel like these preachers came to television for a reason.  They want to spread the news about God and they want to show their lives in the process.  Anyone watching can see that these men and their families are just like everyone else in a sense.  We all have issues and we all want to overcome things in life.  I think this show portrays these families in a good light.

People need to understand that just because someone preaches the word of God, that doesn't mean they don't have to provide for their families.  Success should be for anyone who reaches for it.  If God allows a man or woman to have the finer things then why shouldn't that be okay??  A preacher has a very important job.  In my opinion one of the most important, and as long as they are doing their duties in a respectable manner, how they build their career around that should be their business.  All preachers are not poor and all preachers are not rich so somewhere in between all of that we as a people need to worry about our own salvation.  A lot of us lack in that we are so pressed about what one person has going on we can't even come out of our own mess.

Last night's episode was one of the most inspirational in the history of the show!!  To see Bishop Gibson and his wife be so spiritually moved to help out their family members was a blessing in its self.  A lot of people
will say that their decision shouldn't have been so hard or that they should have just given the house to their niece in the first place.  To those people I say this.  "It is not always as easy as it seems (this thing called life).  We all lose focus and fall short and sometimes we have to come out of things in our time.  Bishop Gibson's sister Shaun made her choices and so this caused her daughter to have to go through things.  God places people in our lives for reasons and at times that are not always to be explained.  Bishop Gibson and First Lady Lavette did a wonderful thing, and the fact that they were able to is even more wonderful, but it was in God's time.  It's easy to say that they could have been gave Erica and her boys the home to stay in, but who is to say Erica was always ready for that responsibility.  Her time is clearly now, and she was ever so grateful and appreciative.

       @WayneChaneyJr
Pastor Wayne and his wife Myesha Chaney were also dealing with some serious family issues this episode.  Pastor Wayne's mother came to him to tell him that she had recently had a disagreement with her other son Caleb.  Caleb who is younger than Wayne seems to be struggling with some personal issues regarding the love and treatment he receives from his mother.  Now I won't go to deep because I only know what I see on tv, but it does seem like there may be some underlying issues, and that it may take some time to get through them.  Pastor Wayne wants to get to the bottom of things because he doesn't want the negativity to continue between his family members.  It is sad to see that he gets pulled into the drama because he is successful, but that is nothing but the devil trying to mess up a good thing!!                                                                      
WONT THE DEVIL BRING SOME MESS TO YOU?!?!?!  Any way... First Lady Myesha threw an amazing surprise birthday party for her husband, and even with the little drama of Caleb showing up uninvited the party was still a success.                                                                                            
                                                @MyeshaChaney

It was all the Twitter last night when people saw that Pastor Wayne asked his brother to leave the party because he didn't want his mother to feel uncomfortable.  Fans of the show were really upset that he wanted his brother to leave.  I, along with many others think that was the right decision.  He made a decision based off of a recent blow up.  If he didn't ask his brother to leave that would just leave room for a possible confrontation, and no one knows but them how that could have turned out!                                    

All in all last nights episode was moving and I felt blessed watching!  I think I will do more post about the show in the future!! What do you guys think??  Well my good people I will be bringing the happenings soon enough, but BE SURE to remember if u didn't get it anywhere else u know......

Love & Hip Hop Reunion Pt. 3 (Until Next year......)

@WhoisAriane

 

Ariane... This woman has seemed to  be nothing but an amazing friend thus far!  Ariane shows that her love for her girl Mimi is without hesitation or problem.  With all that Mimi has been through with her current boyfriend and previous lover, Stevie J, Ariane has shown and proved her loyalty and that truth cannot be denied!  Anyone watching may agree with me when I say that Ariane is the epitome of a friend.  Not only does she quickly dismiss bullsh**, she also decides when it is the right time or NOT to accept the bs.  Ariane is clearly not convinced that Nikko and Mimi are in an honest relationship.   She and Nikko has been in total disagreement since Ariane first became aware that the sex tape had been released!  Maybe even before that.

Nikko has been offered a chance to complete a lie detector test, which as far as the shows fans are concerned, would make the reality show opportunist omissions legit.  Nikko has declined to undergo the lie detector test.  Most people may be aware, but not 100 percent content with Nikko's response.  Nikkos is standing his ground which may possibly be allowing some viewers to believe that he is telling the truth about what he has done.  Nikko has also made it very clear that he was trying to come up off of the sex tape.  If you are unaware, Nikko is the boyfriend of Love and Hip Hop star Mimi Faust. She will not admit to any further relation's with Stevie.  Mimi has also made it very clear that she is a single mother to her daughter, and solely responsible for her well being!



BUT WITH ALL OF THAT SAID...............

Deb has been expressing her concerns throughout the entire reunion!  She seems to have love for all of the cast members in a loving and motherly way.  She has no problem speaking on how she feels about certain situations and always comes off as honest and real.  Deb along with the rest of the cast admits that they believe Nikko leaked the tape of he and Mimi.  She also questioned Nikko about why he did not tell Mimi he was married.  This is a question that I am sure most people on the outside looking in wants an answer to.  Deb pretty much commends Mimi for owning up to her part in all situations and does not understand why Nikko cannot do the same.  It seems as if Deb is saying that is why Nikko cannot be respected or taken seriously.  I couldn't agree with Deb more. It's like the more Nikko denies his wrongs, the further he digs himself into a hole.  The longer he waits to come clean, the further he pushes himself out of the hearts and minds of others.  Mimi may continue to love him and put up with his shenanigans, but the others don't have to and she may put herself in even an even more awkward situation with her friends.   

 @DebraAntney

Benzino and Stevie J have made it pretty clear that there is no coming back from where they are.  Their friendship is over.  Too many lines were crossed and so the brotherhood is no more!  It's kind of said when you really think about it because their bond appeared to be tight.  I mean we have saw them go at it before as brothers do.  The only difference between then and now is that things got physical between them and their women.  Some scars will definitely be left behind with season 3!  

There is still a lot of speculation of whether or not Stevie and Joseline are still together since the taping.  Rumors have been circulating that the two are now over, but you never know until you know.  Benzino and Althea are posting pictures on social media daily so we know they are going strong.  The love between those two seems real.  I have to be honest though.  I wasn't buying it at first.  I mean I was really thinking the whole marriage and relationship thing with them was all for the cameras and a story line.  It's good to see that isn't the case.

All in all Season 3 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta has been the train wreck we all seem to be hooked on.  So until next year... If you don't hear it anywhere else just know....

The Family Hustle (Newports #OrNaw)

@troubleman31

Tip T.I. Harris has continually restored his reputation as a wholesome family man DESPITE his past actions and even some more recent situations which may cause some to doubt his influence.  We all know that T.I. has a past that may be represented as negative due to his street persona.  Anyone who knows hip hop music and it's development knows that most people in hip hop started their lives in the urban streets.  T.I. however, has managed to turn over some new leaves to be a present father to his children and loving husband to his wife.  I have previously blogged about the Harris family and their show, but never said much a bout the leading man.  So I decided to open with him today.


T.I.  took his young sons to the area where he grew up.  He is always trying to keep his children grounded by letting them know that they are blessed because of his hard work and struggle.  He doesn't want them to think that they are rich.  He instead wants them to understand that he is rich and all of the work that went into making that possible.  T.I. doesn't always like his children to be so consumed with electronics and technological gadgets.  So this trip to the hood was to teach them some of the things he and his friends used to do out side for fun.  They played games in the streets and even in front of the house.  There wasn't always a video game to play and/or computers and things of that nature.  For most black kids in the hood nature was the only option.  Everyone's parents could not always afford to buy the latest and greatest toys and games so children had to make a way out of no way.  Shout out to Tip for bringing positive vibes to reality television!  Thank you for inviting us into your home every week!!

@thatshekinah

This weeks epsisode of Family Hustle once again revolves around Shekinah Jo and Tiny Harris.  Shekinah  can't seem to kick her smoking habit which she admittedly wishes she didn't have.  Shekinah told Tiny that at 30 years old she has been smoking since she was a teenager, and has tried more than once to quit.  Tiny is not only concerned with her friends smoking, but she is also worried about her own health because she is on the receiving end of second hand smoke.  She also fears that Shekinah pack or more a day habit can be very harmful.

Tiny decides to take Shekinah to a hypnotist.  Shekinah agrees and the two go to a group session together with several other participants.  In their common fashion the ladies arrive late, and Shekinah is chatty Cathy the entire time.  Tiny goes under hypnosis first and this clearly freaks Shekinah out.  As tiny responds to the commands of the hypnotist Shekinah appears to be shocked and not amused.  It seems that she is uncomfortable seeing her friend under this kind of control, and so she proceeds to try to snap her out of it.  Shekinah hilariously attempts to wake Tiny and when she comes to she says that she was really under the hypnosis spell.  Shekinah finally goes under and the hypnotist tells her that when she comes to she will despise cigarettes.  Shekinah awakes, lights up, and suprisingly to me she is disgusted by the taste of the Newport!!!!


I CALL BULL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII lol I don't believe Tiny or Shekinah were reall hypnotized.  I say this because I have been to a hypnotist with some high school friends, and as convincing as it was while we were there, they all admitted that they were faking it.  Now I'm not saying I don't believe hypnotism is real, I just don't think certain people have the kind of focused to be put under.  I applaud Tiny for commiting the way she did.  She was just trying to be there for her friend.  I also applaud Shekinah for being ever so entertaining.  She knows how to make good tv!!  I wish Shekinah good luck on her quest to quit smoking.  It is not an easy task, and I know that from experience!  Well it's time for me to go my good people, but before I do I want you all to remember.  If you didn't hear it anywhere else just know........

The Family Hustle

Monday nights 9/8c on VH1!

Atlanta Exes (Could there be peace???)

If you have been following VH1's latest ratchet reality tv show like I have then you are very aware that I am referring to Atlanta Exes.  This show is following the lives and "friendships" of five celebrity Exes which include Tameka Foster, Torrei Hart, Sheree Buchanan, Christina Johnson, and Monyetta Shaw.  All of these women were once married to major celebrities, and if you are watching LIKE I AM then you know exactly who.  Before I refresh your memories let's get into this.


Last night's episode began where last weeks episode left off.  Torrei and Tameka got into a huge argument last week where both ladies said some nasty things to one another!!  It almost seemed as if they were worst enemies.  Tameka came for Torrei's skin flaws and Torrei came for Tameka's parenting skills and even told her to "kill yourself" and to "lay in a coffin."  Now most people watching probably thought not much of the comments because everyone know's that 'kill yourself' has unfortunately just become a figure of speech in today's society.  It is sad but true.  When that phrase is thrown around it is most likely not meant in the literal sense.


ANYWHO... Christina and the other ladies were able to convince the two, along with them all, to come together for mediation from a third party.  They decided to retreat and spend a weekend together where they had lessons from a life coach.  With all of the drama, hate, and accusations going around I have to say that it was much needed!  The life coach was there, but to me it seemed as if the women quickly realized that they were able to get past the situations and accepted there faults in the arguments.  Everything seemed pretty petty at the end of the day anyway.

It was refreshing to see the ladies come to an understanding as quickly as they did.  Tameka expressed her contemplating suicide which is why Torrei's comments hurt her the most. Torrei admitted that she aims to hurt people in arguments but never intended for Tameka to feel like she wanted her to commit suicide.  I guess that's a reason we should all at least TRY to think before we say things.  I knooooowwwwww that is a challenge for me sometimes lol. ESPECIALLY in a heated situation. I'm working on it tho :)  I was honestly planning to stop watching this show after last week, but last nigh's episode reeled me back in...

Christina Johnson is my favorite cast member.  She is really down to earth, and seems to be a good friend. She is the voice of reason in the group.  I say that because she speaks up when necessary and she listens to all sides of the story and calls everyone out on their SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA as a friend should!  Not only that she is gorgeous!!!  I felt bad that Christina wanted to stop dating Willie because of he and Monica's previous encounter.  Christina and Willie seemed to have really hit it off!  I can understand the discomfort or awkwardness of knowing about his past and being friends with Monica even, but I would let the past be just that.  If Monica didn't have a problem with it and she gave her blessing then move forward is what I say.  He may have been her treasure! lol

Hopefully these ladies can at least remain cordial.  It would be nice to watch a show where black women are being portrayed in a more positive light.  NOW I AM NOT SAYING that I don't enjoy ratchet reality tv BECAUSE I DO!  I'm just saying that is not the only thing I want to see.  Some of these people are actually trying to better themselves and make negative issues into positive ones.  These producers need to be more considerate of that.  People will watch positive tv if they provide it!


Well I could go on and on but I won't.  Thanks for chilling with your boy today.  Remember if you didn't hear it anywhere else you know that...

FAMILY HUSTLE (Shekinah Jo got Hu$tle!)

Family Hustle is that show you can't help but LOVE! T.I. has found the right potion for wholesome reality television.  A little bit of street cred mixed in with some suburban children, add a little ghetto fabulous bff, and toss that with some big dreams... You get T.I. & Tiny The Family Hustle.




On Monday night's episode Tiny agreed to help her bestie and hairstylist AND somewhat business partner to push her new product.  Shekinah has a hair cream called 'Beautiful Edges' which is out now.  It is an edge control cream for relaxed and natural hair!  Now Imma spare you the infomercial because if you watched the show then you know how hectic an infomercial can be to prepare.  Tiny and Shekinah got together with some producers, and in their normal fashion all hell broke loose!  Shekinah tries her best to be professional in these business ventures, but it doesn't always begin that way.  She and Tiny were given lines to prepare for the infomercial, however, on the first day of filming Shekinah seemed very unprepared.  Even with the teleprompter right in front of her Shekinah still managed to mess up the lines, which caused Tiny to get slightly annoyed, but also makes for great comedy.  Sometimes watching them is like watching Lucy and Ethel.  After a lot of swearing and do-overs Shekinah and Tiny were able to complete an infomercial for the product.  I have not seen a full edited version of the infomercial, but I must say that I am proud of Shekinah!! Just watching her grow on the show and seeing all of her endeavors play out through the years has been very inspiring.  She shows young girls that no matter your circumstances, it doesn't always hurt to be yourself.  Dream big and you can reach for the stars.  I think Shekinah is a star and her light is getting brighter as time goes on.  God bless The Family Hustle!  Remember to click the link below to follow Shekinah Jo Anderson on Instagram!  She's always posting and spreading love to her fans!

@ThatShekinah

Shekinah Jo Anderson shows that she is a driven business woman.  She takes pride in what she has to offer and has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry whether she is fully aware or not!

T.I. & Tiny THE FAMILY HUSTLE airs Monday nights at 9/8c on VH1
