It’s been a long time coming, but “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Rasheeda hosted the grand opening of her retail store "Pressed" at Phipps Plaza in ATL yesterday.

If you're a fan of the show, you’ve seen Rasheeda and her husband Kirk Frost get into arguments over finances as Rasheeda was gearing up to open her store. But, it appears the two have worked out the kinks and she’s now the proud owner of her new boutique.

Former reality star and Garb Boutique owner Toya Wright along with “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks were on the scene to show their support.

The "Real Housewives" franchise is axing their stars left and right.  Find out who's next on the chopping block down in Atlanta inside...

On the heels of Brandi Glanville getting the boot from "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," The ax is swinging down in the ATL as well. 

According to reports, Claudia Jordan just got fired after one year on the show.

TMZ reports she was blindsided, and it's allegedly all over RHOA's queen bee NeNe Leakes.  The site states:

Jordan got a lot of face time last season by standing up to the show’s O.G. Nene Leakes. Fact is ... Kenya Moore also mouthed off to Nene, but she's earned her stripes over time.

The new season begins filming next month in ATL. Bravo hasn't decided if Claudia can come back for guest appearances.

Nene Leakes always wins.

Bloop.

Claudia appears unbothered, though, as she posted video of herself taking a trip out of the country with a friend this morning.

Tootie as a Housewife?  Hmmmm....this could be interesting.  Decide if we believe the deets in the alleged new Housewife joining the "RHOA" cast inside...

Actress Kim Fields is allegedly the newest cast member of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."  Sources are reporting that the former "Facts of Life" star will be joining the ladies (sans Claudia Jordan) on Season 8.

Love B. Scott has gone as far as confirming the news, but Bravo is remaining mum as usual.

We all loved Kim as the on-screen cutie named 'Tootie Ramsey' back in the day.  And she was our sister in our head as 'Regine Hunter' on "Living Single."

Now, the 46-year-old is a mother of two boys (Quincy & Sebastian) and a wife of eight years to Broadway actor Christopher Morgan. Aside from Kim coming from an acting family (her mom is Chip Fields and her little sister is Alexis Fields ('Sister 2 Sister') and being married twice, we're not really sure what her storyline will be.  But are you interested in finding out?

BYE WIG: NeNe Leakes Confirms She's Leaving "Real Housewives of Atlanta"

She's OUT!  NeNe Leakes is saying 'Good Bye' to the TV show that made her a household name.  Deets inside...

News broke late last night that NeNe Leakes is dropping her peach and she's leaving the hit Bravo series "Real Housewives of Atlanta." 

NeNe has made it no secret that she's not been a fan of the direction the show has been going, which is mainly in the direction of attacking NeNe...in her eyes.  The last standing original "RHOA" Housewife is known to complain about all the newbies creating storylines for themselves by coming for her.  And many of those co-stars who beef with NeNe find themselves conveniently fired.  Most recently, NeNe's enemy Claudia Jordan got the ax.

It seems the actress wasn't pleased enough about Claudia leaving after one season, because she's walking out herself.

The 48-year-old told her fans via social media:

This is so hard for me to type! I cry as I do so! I am so Grateful for all the love and laughs! Thank you so much to everyone that has watched and supported me over the years on this amazing platform! With lots of thoughts and prayer I've decided to step out on faith and not fear #nomoRHOA4me

She also told PEOPLE magazine that she made the decision to call it quits once her contract was up. 

"This was definitely a hard decision for me," Leakes tells PEOPLE. "Me and my husband [Gregg Leakes] have been going back and forth on it for weeks now. But my contract is up and I just think this is the right time. This is my opportunity to spread my wings and do different things."

And yes, the attacks from the other women seem to have played a part in NeNe saying 'Good Bye'.  She said:

"I feel a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders...There were times when I was a target," she says. "I won't miss the negativity."

What does Andy Cohen think of all this?  He tweeted:

"We love @NeNeLeakes & she is always welcome back to the house she helped build! She's a Real Housewife forever!!"

NeNe also said she doesn't rule out returning or popping up to "play with those girls every now and then."

 photo NeNeLeakesCelebritiesStepoutNewYorkgfw-kD5nwGwl_zpsisuzcxwg.jpg 

So how will the Georgia native afford that new $2 million mansion of hers from now on?  Apparently, she's got some major projects n the works.  She told People:

"I'm actually going to be doing a new primetime television show with a big legend," Leakes teases of the series she begins filming this week. "All of my fans will get to see me be really happy, witty and funny and tell all of those one liners that I always have said on Housewives."

Kim Fields is rumored to be joining the "RHOA" cast.  But NeNe is focused on her new reality show with Kim Zolciak on the way. 

Good luck to NeNe on her journey.  She's definitely got the acting chops and we wish her well!

UPDATE: NeNe now says if they present her with MORE money, she's willing to CONSIDER returning on a less-responsibility, i.e. "friend to the show", basis.

SPLITSVILLE LANE: Malaysia Pargo & Brandi Maxiell Spill On Marital Infidelities On "Basketball Wives: LA" + Shaunie O'Neal Releasing A Parenting Book

News broke last year that Malaysia Pargo filed for divorce from her Charlotte Hornets star husband Janero Pargo.  Now, she's spilling the beans about the breakup on the new season of "Basketball Wives: LA."  Oh, and her bestie and co-star Brandi Maxiell may have her own cheating drama.  Deets inside...

Some type of way these chicks got a new season, so they're back to spilling the tea on their relationships and showing how they're trying to GET relationships.

In the new season of "Basketball Wives: LA" (premiering Sunday, July 12th at 9PM ET/PT), Malaysia is stll heartbroken over her and Janero's divorce.  The mother of three, who hits the party scene like she wants the world to know she's single and ready to mingle, appears all cracked up over the breakup.  And she reveals that she left him because no one should hurt ou more than once. 

Malaysia also said she asked Janero to go to counseling, but he refused. While she doesn't say explicitly that Janero cheated on her, we're reading between the lines.  Especially because she packed up NONE of her things and moved full time to L.A., and said "the next b*tch can have the purses and bags."

Meanwhile, Malaysia's bestie Brandi Maxiell (far right below) reveals she's going through the same thing as Malaysia.  She's not totally giving up on her husband  Jason (who also plays for the Hornets)...yet.  Sad to hear as Jason was so public and vocal about supporting Brandi during her cancer fight and throughout their journey to have a second child after cancer treatment.

 

 photo bbwla2_zpsbypncpxm.jpg

 

Malaysia also opens up about her baby brother recently being killed by police, and she's understandably still struggling to come to term with him being gone.  With back-to-back traumatizing experiences in her life, she's turning to a new friend and co-star, Patrice Curry (second from left above, wife of NBA baller Eddie Curry), for support.

Mehgan James (far left above), a girl who previously dated NBA baller Kedrick Brown, is another newcomer to the show.  She's Jackie Christie's "mentee"....and we don't have high hopes for aNy of this ending well.

Draya touches on her relationship with Orlando Scandrick as they were still together during taping, so it'll be interesting to see what leads up to their breakup, then engagement, now another breakup.

Tune in to VH1 this Sunday for the season 4 premiere with Shaunie O'Neal and the rest of the cast!

 

Speaking of Shaunie, she's about to start selling parenting tips.  And it's all via her upcoming book called Shaunie's Way: Raising Today's Kids with Old-School Rules.

The site Black Page Turners gave the synopsis below:

In this indispensable book for busy moms and dads, Shaunie O’Neal shares her parenting methods and time-tested wisdom for raising children with old-school values in a new-school world.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, juggling parenthood with a career, or thinking about starting a family, Shaunie’s Way shows you how to raise happy, balanced, well-mannered children—and keep yourself happy in the process.

Ex-wife of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and executive producer of VH1’s hit show Basketball Wives, Shaunie O’Neal considers her biggest accomplishment raising five well-behaved, well-adjusted children in an age of entitlement and a seeming lack of discipline and rules. Where Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother left off, Shaunie’s Way picks up. Her rules include: Give Children Names That Matter, Don’t Be a “Yes Mom,” and All Children Must Attend a Weekly Family Dinner (No Cell Phones Allowed!). With a brood of children ages eight through eighteen, Shaunie O’Neal has the know-how and experience it takes to successfully raise kids with disciple, order, and a strong sense of family.

Shaunie and her kids hit shelves May 3rd, 2016.

CAUGHT ON VIDEO: New Footage Alleges Benzino And Althea's "LAHH ATL" Marriage Proposal Was FAKED For TV!

We've long heard that certain scenes for Mona Scott's cash cow "LAHH ATL" were fake or re-created, but does that include those tear-stained marriage proposals too?  Watch footage of Benzino and Althea's engagement and decide for yourself.

 

And.......ACTION!

We've known for a while that many reality shows "fake" scenes or "re-create" scenarios, and now we've got some alleged video proof.  Earlier this week, former "LAHH ATL" stars Althea Heart and Benzino revealed that they're expecting a son.  While the news was met with a mix of approval and shade (watch Althea combat Instagram trolls here), it made fans question the couple's intentions.  Is the marriage real?  Is Thea really pregnant?

Now....someone is out to prove that they faked their tv proposal.  The clip below shows two scenarios.  From what we gather, the FIRST half was the actual proposal.  Thea looks genuinely surprised.  The second half (which aired on "LAHH"), is what seems "re-created."

What does this prove?  Hmmm....it doesn't prove anything we didn't already know.  But it does make us question all of these scenes that social media really gets hyped up about.  The fighting...the cheating...the back-stabbing...is something a "reality" it if has a script and 20-man camera crew?

Over the weekend, Evelyn Lozada announced she was pregnant again! But unfortunately, there may be some complications that could result in a possible miscarriage. Get those deets and check out pics of “Basketball Wives: L.A.” stars Malaysia and Brandi Maxiell hosting a season 4 premiere party in L.A. inside….

 photo evmis.png

Evelyn Lozada’s new reality show “Livin’ Lozada”, which chronicles her new life with baseball player Carl Crawford, her relationship with her 21-year-old daughter Shaniece andbecoming a mom again to Carl Leo Crawford Jr., premiered this weekend on the OWN Network.

The former "Basketball Wives" star received exciting news that she’s pregnant again! But unfortunately, the good news turned into every mother’s nightmare when her doctor made her aware of possible complications with the pregnancy. When she first got news that she was six weeks pregnant, the 39-year-old reality star seemed excited and scared that she would become a mother again. She said:

 

A video posted by TheYBF.com (@theybfdaily) on

 

Excited to share the news, Ev heads over to her daughter Shaniece’s house. But on her way to her daughter’s house, Evelyn’s doctor leaves a devastating voicemail with an update on her pregnancy.

Ev sits down with Shaniece as she begins to tell her that she may be a big sister again, but becomes overwhelmed with emotion once she starts telling her what the doctor said. She said,

"When I went [to the doctor] yesterday and she's like, 'Everything seems fine.' When I was on my way here, she left me a voicemail. She said that my hormone levels have dropped. When you're pregnant, your hormone levels are supposed to be in the thousands. And [mine] went all the way down to 50."

Sadly, with her hormones levels being so low, it’s possible she could lose the baby. She added,

"Most likely, I'm going to end up miscarrying the baby.”

While news of a possible miscarriage is troubling, Ev is holding on to hope that her miracle baby will pull through. She said,

"Honestly, I'm just trying to hold on to hope. This is going to happen. I’m sure many women have gone through this, and this is going to happen. We're going to have this baby. It's going to be a miracle. A miracle baby."

 

Peep the clip of Ev breaking the news to her daughter below:

 

 

 

TheYBF.com reached out to Ev’s camp and we were told we will find out the outcome on the second episode. So you’ll have to stay tuned to find out what happens.

“Livin’ Lozada” airs Saturdays at 9pm ET on the OWN Network.

Last night, the new season of “BBW: L.A.” premiered on VH1 and “BBW L.A.” stars Malaysia and Brandi Maxiell hosted a season 4 premiere party at The Parlor in Hollywood last night, powered by The Brand Group.

Malaysia was all smiles as she rolled up on the scene solo. Unfortunately, the reality star is going through some very troubling times in her life. On top of getting a divorce from her NBA baller husband Jannero Pargo, the mother-of-three is also dealing with the death of a close family member. Sadly, her younger brother Dontae was fatally shot by LAPD in a park a few months ago.  Malaysia says he reached down to get something out of his pocket when police mistakenly thought he was reaching for a gun. He was shot in the head and died.

During the party, Malaysia thanked all of her supporters for the outpour of love as she deals with two devastating situations.

Malaysia’s bestie and co-star Brandi Maxiell brought her husband Jason Maxiell, who plays for the Charlotte Hornets, along as her date.

SAY WHAT?! BRAVO’s Andy Cohen Calls Teen Star Amandla Stenberg (And That Feud) “Jackhole Of The Day” On “WWHL” With Laverne Cox & Andre Leon Talley + Tyga & Kylie Do Date Night In L.A.

So BRAVO producer Andy Cohen went THERE. On “Watch What Happens Live” last night, he called teen star Amandla Stenberg the “Jackhole Of The Day.” Meanwhile, Laverne Cox and Andre Leon Talley were guests on the show…and said nothing. Speak on it and check out pics of Tyga and Kylie Jenner on another date inside…. 

On last night’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” “Orange is the New Black” star Laverne Cox along with fashion legend Andre Leon Talley joined Andy Cohen in the clubhouse to chop it up about an array of topics. But one in particular had us raising our eyebrows. More on that in a sec.

 photo lvc3.jpg

The “OITNB” star, rocking a Haute Hippie dress and custom shoes, and the former VOGUE editor-at-large, styling in a Valentino Couture caftan, sat down to discuss Caitlyn Jenner’s fashion choices, Andre making a cameo on the upcoming season of “Empire,” and Laverne returning for another season of the hit Netflix series.

 photo anwwd.jpg

But, when Andy did his “Jackhole of the Day” segment…we pressed paused, rewind and play several times to make sure we heard him right. He gave the “Jackhole of the Day” to Hunger Games teen starlet Amandla Stenberg for CHECKING Kylie Jenner about her cornrows. If you missed, Amandla read Kylie for filth as she schooled the reality star on cultural appropriation. Get all of the deets HERE.

Here's what Andy said,

“Today’s Jackhole goes to the Instagram feud between Kyie Jenner and Hunger Games star/Jaden Smith’s prom date Amandla Stenberg who criticized Kylie for her cornrows, calling it cultural appropriation. White girls in cornrows…is it ok or nay Laverne and Andre?”

Andre responds, “To me it’s fine.”
Laverne responded, “Umm….Bo Derek.”
 

So neither of them thought to defend the fact Andy calls a 16-year-old black girl a jackhole on national television? Mmk.

While Laverne and Andre didn’t have much to say, folks on Twitter did. Some even calling on others to BOYCOTT the Bravo network after Andy’s comments. Below are a few of their tweets:
 

 photo lvc6.png

Meanwhile...

 photo lvc4.png

After schooling Kylie (and others) on cultural appropriation, Amandla hopped on her own Instagram account last night to address, in depth, the double standard of white women stealing features of black women, where they get worshipped praised for the same features black women are shamed over. She posted:

 photo lvc5.png

Black features are beautiful. Black women are not. White women are paragons of virtue and desire. Black women are objects of fetishism and brutality.

This, at least, seems to be the mentality surrounding black femininity and beauty in a society built upon eurocentric beauty standards. While white women are praised for altering their bodies, plumping their lips, and tanning their skin, black women are shamed although the same features exist on them naturally.

This double standard is one string in the netting that surrounds black female sexuality – a web that entraps black women when they claim sexual agency. Deeply ingrained into culture is the notion that black female bodies, at the intersect of oppression, are less than human and therefore unattractive. They are symbols of pain, trauma, and degradation. Often when they are sexualized, it is from a place of racial fetishism.

The stigmas surrounding it are embedded in American infrastructure and psyche as evidenced by the ways black women are sexually assualted and treated by police - an act that goes frequently unreported by the media. When the media is not ignoring black women altogether, they are disparaging them.

As culture shifts and racial tensions are tested through the vehicle of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, it’s important to question:

Do female black lives matter too?

PREACH!

Your thoughts?

Speaking of Kylie....

The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" are starting out season 8 with a bang....sans NeNe Leakes.  Find out what's already gone down during filming inside...

Well isn't this interesting?  The pic above was snapped outside of Cynthia Bailey's eyewear launch this weekend in Atlanta.  You may notice a couple of familiar faces: Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton.

According to reports, Sheree has signed a new contract with Bravo to return with a peach.  We can see all the Chateau Sheree and She by Sheree shade now....and it will be epic.

As for why NeNe's former friend Marlo is in the pic above, we hear she will be returning on a "friend of the Housewives" basis, much like the position she was in previously.

Marlo and Kenya Moore were spotted chatting up Cynthia's husband Peter Thomas inside.  But it wasn't all rosy at the event.  ET reports that Porsha Williams and Marlo got into a fight with Peter!  And that's not all...Sheree and Kenya allegedly got into a bit of a catfight at the party as well.  And we an only imagine what type of shady talk was spewed.

PLAY NICE FELLAS: New “LAHH Hollywood” Cast Mate Claims The Guys On The Show Want Nothing To Do With Him Because…HE’S GAY!

 photo mll1.png

“Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” newcomer Milan Christopher claims the guys on the show are keeping their distance…refusing to tape with him because…he’s gay. Get those deets and find out who the new cast mates are inside….

A new season of “LAHH Hollywood” is gearing up to premiere next month. And there’s already drama unfolding behind-the-scenes. First, Teairra Mari was arrested for allegedly attacking an Uber driver a few weeks ago. Now, one of the new cast members claims some of his co-stars are shunning him.

Self-proclaimed rapper/model Milan Christopher claims the guys on the show don’t want to film with him, party with him or attend any events where he’ll be present. And it’s all because he’s an openly gay male…at least that’s what he believes.
 

TMZ reports there are 3 rappers on the show who don’t want to shoot scenes with Milan. But, there’s only one rapper on the show and that’s Soulja Boy. The other guys include Ray J, Omarion, and Lil Fizz. (FYI--Mally Mall has not been confirmed to be returning at the time of this post). So, we're not sure which of them are feeling some type of way.

It’s being reported the reason they don’t want anything to do with him is because they don’t view him as a real rapper…NOT because he’s gay. It’s alleged the guys who spoke with producers felt like they only brought him on the show to help boost ratings. Hmph. They feel he’s a joke and made it clear they want nothing to do with him.

Play nice guys!

Below are a few more pics of Milan:
 

 photo mll2.png

 photo mll3.png

 photo mll4.png

He clearly has NO problem taking it all off.

 

As for the upcoming season....

It appears we’ll be seeing a lot more of Milan as this season will follow his relationship with another man, Miles, who seems to be in a love triangle, stuck between Milan and his childhood sweetheart Amber.

Below is a synopsis via press release:

This season of "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" will explore one of the most complex relationships in franchise history. Miles, a west coast rapper, who was raised with church values bravely faces his truth, when he realizes he's in love with Milan, an openly gay man. The struggle becomes complicated for Miles because his best friend and childhood sweetheart, Amber, is still in love with him. The season follows Miles and Milan's difficult and emotional journey as they deal with the stigmas often associated with intimate relationships between black men in the music industry.

Interesting.

So who’s returning? Ray J and Princess Love will still be going through their relationship issues. We’ll see Omarion and Apryl Jones tackle parenthood while O continues working on his solo album. Moniece has a new love interest…."LAHH NY" vet Rich Dollaz. Lordt! While Moniece tries her hand with Rich, her baby daddy Lil Fizz is happily living the single life while juggling fatherhood. Soulja Boy and Nia Riley’s relationship is still rocky. Teairra Mari will become friends with someone unlikely (guess we’ll have to watch to find out). Hazel-E is still working on her rap career after breaking her nose in an accident in Dubai. A single Nicki Mudarris returns and she’s looking for love…no more Mally Mal.

And below are short bios on the new cast mates:

As a very successful entrepreneur, rapper/producer and model, Milan is on top of the world. The only thing that could make his life happier is if he could get his boyfriend, Miles to live openly with him and start a family.

LA native Miles, aka Sir Brock, is a rapper and songwriter in the hip hop industry. Miles, who struggles with the conflict between his Christian upbringing and his relationship with Milan, also fears the repercussions he may face from the hip hop industry for being in a same sex relationship.

Amber, a talented up-and-coming rapper from LA is 2015's personification of an 'Around The Way Girl.' While not so lucky in love, Amber proves nothing and no man can hold her down or keep her star from rising.

Rapper and actress Brandi and her husband, superstar hitmaker Max Lux, join the cast this season. The goddaughter of Whitney Houston, Brandi's connections in the music business run deep. Brandi, who co-starred with Ray J on the VH1 series "For The Love of Ray J" is now signed to Ncredible Entertainment, Nick Cannon's label and is ready to take the industry by storm.

Bravo seems to be pulling out all the stops to make up for losing NeNe Leakes.  They've reportedly cast transgender model Amiyah Scott to star in Season 8 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."  This should get interesting.  Deets inside...

The beautiful woman you see above wasn't always a woman.

Amiyah Scott, who was born Arthur, made the transition to becoming a female at the age of 17.  Now, she describes herself as a weave-ologist, a beauty guru and a model.  With over half a million followers on the 'Gram, she's transitioning her Instagram fame into tv fame, this according to TMZ.

The site reports the 27-year-old will join the season 8 cast of "RHOA", which is currently in production.

We're sure her storyline will entail the "relationships" she's had with more than a few rappers.  And yes, she's openly trans. 

It's also been confirmed by the site that actress Kim Fields will indeed be joining the season as well, just as we reported a little while ago.

While we wait for the tea to get spilled, check out Amiyah's beauty shots from the 'Gram below:

In today’s entertainment round up, we bring you an explosive new  “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” Season 2 teaser, Nick Gordon’s first tweet since the death of his girlfriend Bobbi Kristina and a flick of Amber Rose laying a wet one on her boss Nick Cannon. Get it all inside….

Your favorite ratchet reality TV stars will be returning for the 2nd season of “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” next month. And we have the newest sneak peek at what we can expect from the Hollywood crew this season.

In the newest teaser, it appears this season will be an explosive, drama-filled season with plenty of fights and shade throwing. Hazel-E gets a drink thrown in her face by newcomer/celebrity blogger Jason Lee during a heated discussion.

We also see two enemies (Teairra Mari & Princess Love) hash out their differences as they chop it up about their former and current lover Ray J. But don’t get your hopes up just yet. The ladies end up in a squabble on the street. SMH! We also see Lil Fizz console his son’s mother Moniece as she breaks down to tears and in another instance we see Fizz get super emotional about growing up without his mother.

Soulja Boy has drama with his girlfriend Nia Riley as his “side chick” is brought into the limelight. And chick came with text message receipts, which, of course, cause the two to come to blows.  The absolute most is going on this season. Check it below:

“Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” premieres September 7th at 8/7C on VH1. And in case you missed (or care), you can read up on the new and returning cast mates HERE.

In other news....

Bobbi Kritina’s boyfriend Nick Gordon has broken his silence posting a heartfelt tribute to his late lover. He took to his Twitter account for the first time since the death of the 22-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown airing out his grievances over a life gone too soon.

While his Twitter account is now private, EXTRA caught his tweets in which he said:

“I look at our pics sometimes it makes me smile sometime I cry @REALbkBrown #happymemories”

"I'm so happy/blessed that I had @REALbkBrown in my life. i will always & forever love you."

Bobbi Kristina died on July 26th and was laid to rest on August 1st. Nick was not allowed to attend the homegoing service. Bobbi Kristina’s conservator Bedelia Hargrove is suing him for $10 million for allegedly stealing money from BK after she was hospitalized and it was discovered NIck was allegedly beating her. The lawsuit was later amended by Bedelia to add a count of wrongful death and one for pain and suffering.
 

So sad.

Budding actress and author Amber Rose caught up with her mentor/manager Nick Cannon for dinner last night following his health scare a few weeks ago.  The duo was celebrating SKAM Artist founder Sujit Kundu's 40th birthday in NYC.

The “America’s Got Talent” host, who suffers from lupus, was hospitalized after what he explained as “running himself into ground.” He appears to be doing just fine now, thanks to his client.

Amber posted the picture above with the caption,“Dinner with my Mentor, one of my best friends and Manager @nickcannon Love u glad ur feeling better”
 

Glad Mr. NCredible is getting back into the swing of things.

Has Kenya Moore found herself a new boo after that tragic "situationship" with her ex-“Millionaire Matchmaker” boo? It appears so. Peep the coupledom pics of Ms. Twirl and her possible new love interest Eugene Casciaro inside….

Well…it looks like Kenya Moore just sealed the deal on her new storyline for the upcoming 8th season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

 photo Lo6.jpg

Meet truck dealership owner Eugene Casciaro. Yesterday, we brought you pics of the “RHOA” beauty’s haircare launch in ATL and we noticed a man on Kenya’s arm. Nothing from the pics screamed they were dating, but now we have the two on our coupledom radar…after we did a little digging.

 photo kenboo1.jpg

It appears the 44-year-old former Miss USA queen and the 40-year-old entrepreneur are getting quite cozy with one another. It’s clear he will at least make a cameo on one episode of “RHOA,” since cameras were rolling during her haircare launch a few days ago. But, he may be getting extra camera time as a new love interest of Kenya’s.

On Facebook, a friend asked Eugene if he would be making any appearances on the show, in which he responded, “Not my style to be on the show but yes I'm in an episode that filmed already... You just never know how they'll spin things ...”

Hmmm…
 

 photo kenboo2.jpg

And they're not just spending time together in front of the cameras. Earlier this month, Eugene posted a few pics of himself and Kenya in the stands while viewing a professional baseball game between the San Francisco Giants and the Atlanta Braves in ATL. The twosome was all smiles as they snapped up a few coupledom selfies.

Eugene owns his own truck dealership, Nvision Truck Sales Inc, based in Atlanta. And we hear he makes a pretty penny from his business. From what we can tell, he’s a manly man who likes to enjoy outdoor and masculine activities, including monster fishing, hitting the gun range and he also enjoys golfing.

While it all looks good on paper...dude does have a rap sheet:

Back in 2009, Eugene was arrested in Dekalb County after being charged with a few felonies and misdemeanors, including obstructing a law enforcement officer, criminal damage to property, theft by taking and simple battery. Yikes!

He was jailed on July 13, 2009 then released the next day after posting a $15,200 bail.

 

Hmm...so what do ywe think...is this Kenya's NEW man? OR is he just part of a possible new storyline?

“Love & Hip Hop: ATL” star Karlie Redd is ready to strip down to her birthday suit...for some extra coins. Find out who she’s getting naked for inside….

Karlie Redd wants to get naked for the masses. But, she’ll be going down a different road than her co-star MiMi Faust.

The "LAHH ATL" star is gearing up to bare it ALL for an upcoming Playboy spread. Oh? She will be featured in sexy spread for Playboy Plus, a site dedicated to hot Playboy content (meaning…a site full of naked chicks). 

 photo karplay.png

According to TMZ, the bootylicious reality star was offered $25,000 from Vivid Entertainment to star in a sex tape, but she turned it down. Karlie has decided to take, as she says, a classier route than a sex tape.  Gotta love the choices these reality women have...

The reality star will put her lady parts on display next month as she’s set to shoot with Playboy in the next few weeks. And we can expect her spread to go live this fall. Oh…and get this. You can find her spread in the “celebrity” section.  Oh?

Lyfe's new girlfriend dished on her new project a while back on "The Playboy Morning Show." Check it below:

 

Do you boo.

Wait…Did Shaunie O’Neal FIRE Brandi Maxiell In The Midst Of A HEATED Argument?! + Brandi's SHADEFUL Response

 photo shaba1.jpg

-Ish hit the fan on last night’s episode of “Basketball Wives: L.A.” during an intense argument between BBW honcho Shaunie O’Neal and L.A. co-star Brandi Maxiell. Brandi took it as far as calling Shaunie a B*TCH and all hell broke loose after that. Did Brandi get fired? Peep the heated clip and find out inside….

The ladies on “Basketball Wives: L.A.” went from 0 to 100….real quick during last night’s episode.

The BBW ladies jetted off to Puerto Rico for a ”bonding” type trip (orchestrated by Shaunie) where BBW OG Tami Roman could get better acquainted with the new “circle” of “friends” and for the ladies to have some fun in the sun.

Well…on their last day in Puerto Rico, the ladies decided to have a group dinner to close out their girls’ getaway. Tensions were already high after Brandi Maxiell got into it with Tami after she assumed Tami and Shaunie were laughing at her and her bestie Malaysia Pargo. And before that, newbie co-star Mehgan James broke bad on Draya’s bestie Angel while they were hanging out on the beach.

Back to the dinner…

Brandi obviously had enough of Shaunie’s “boogie,” condescending ways, so she confronted her about how she belittles the L.A. cast during dinner. And that's how it all started. Shaunie barked back with some nice-nasty shade, telling Brandi, “If you want to keep it real, Brandi, I technically brought you to this group.”

After some more back and forth, Brandi finally reached her boiling point and called Shaunie a B*TCH. Yes, chile…she tried it. Shaunie politely responded, “Thank you for your services,” and Brandi was dismissed! Did she FIRE Brandi? Or did she just "dismiss" her from the table?

Decide for yourself below:

Sheesh!

Well...soon after the show aired, Brandi took to her Twitter account in her own defense. She's basically not backing down over her issue with Shaunie and feels if Shaunie (or whoever else) can say anything they want, then she's going to do the same. Oh..and get this. About that firing? Yea, it seems Brandi may NOT be fired from the show after all. Let her tell it, if Shaunie had the power she portrays to have, then a lot of the other ladies from the BBW franchise would have been axed from the show. Bloop!

Peep her tweets:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guess we will see if Brandi has been terminated on the upcoming reunion special. Who's watching?

DUNZO? Amber Rose & Blac Chyna Reportedly Cancel Upcoming Reality Show

 photo amblshow1.jpg

Did Amber Rose and Blac Chyna pull the plug on their upcoming reality show? That’s what we’re hearing. Decide if you believe it yourself inside….

A few months ago, we told you budding actress and entrepreneur Amber Rose and her bestie Blac Chyna would be coming to a television screen near you, thanks to MTV. But, word on the curb is that the show has been AXED already!

The show was supposed to follow the ladies as they juggled their high profile boyfriends, childcare, custody exchanges, club appearances, etc. But now, it appears the ladies are “too busy” with other things to star on a reality TV show.

According to TMZ sources, Amber claims she can no longer do the show because she’s currently “in the process” of copping her own talk show. Meanwhile, friends close to Chyna tell the site she can’t do the show because she’s currently working on various other projects. Hmm…couldn’t the show just follow them working on the actual talk show and various projects they’re speaking of? Hmph.

We’re not exactly sure why they decided to pull the plug on the show, but other sites are reporting they’re no longer friends. You’ll recall, Chyna was not in attendance at Amber’s SlutWalk last week in L.A. and some are saying Amber is pissed about it.

We’re not exactly believing they’re no longer friends at the present moment. These two have been riding with each other for a minute and it doesn’t seem like any bad blood is between them (as of yet). Just yesterday, Amber posted a promo on her Instagram inviting her “rosebuds” to come see her and Chyna for an appearance. We doubt they would miss a chance in collecting those reality coins over a feud. Time will tell...
