Charlie Baltimore’s New Reality Show “Charli Knows Best” Will Premiere On BOSSIP Charli Baltimore is back from her break out of the spotlight with a new show, a new tour – and is bringing her adult daughters along for the ride. Femme fatale Baltimore, who was born Tiffany Lane, just wrapped her new show, “Charli Knows Best” which shows a side of her that viewers may have never seen before – a momager. “Charli Knows Best” will follow Charli and her daughters India and Siaani as she helps them launch careers in fashion and entertainment. The “Down A** Chick” rapper sat down with us to talk about her projects and what she thinks about the new crop of rappers out today. You can check out a clip of her new show above. BOSSIP: What have you been up to since we last heard from you? Charlie Baltimore: “After I left Murder Ink I was with a couple of other labels…I did a lot of behind the scenes writing for other artists and I realized I actually preferred that instead of being front and center all the time, and I kind of just fell back and focused on my daughters and their careers, and that’s what got us to this point.” BOSSIP: Tell us about “Charli Knows Best.” What will we get to see? CB: “It’s really funny, showing you the dynamics between me and my daughters. And I guess with me being such a young mom when I had them, we kind of grew up together. Our relationship can vary from mom and daughter to friends at times. We argue we fight, we make up – whatever! There’s such a bad stigma attached to mothers who had their kids young, like ‘You’re not gonna grow up to be s**t, you’re gonna be on welfare,’ and that’a not true. If you put your mind to something…you can definitely make a way.”
Last week, graduate students at the University of Southern California petitioned the university for enhanced mental health services. They requested these services for “Muslim, refugee, immigrant, international and other marginalized student groups” in response to the president’s immigration ban and other executive orders that affect the student population. Is this a reasonable ask? In a word, yes. The primary motive behind the immigration ban and the emotion it evokes are the same: fear — fear of being deported; fear of being permanently separated from family members; fear of going back to a country where the threat of persecution and even death are present. And that fear has a huge impact on mental health. Fear is the body’s response to uncertainty and adversity. It has well-known physical components like sweating, rapid heartbeat, and nausea. Longer term effects of fear include stress, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances. Research indicates up to 20% of women (8% of men) who experience a traumatic event — like the enacting of the immigration ban — are likely to develop serious emotional problems. This could mean an increase in the number of students seeking psychological services for relief. [ madamenoire ] LeBron James Apologized To Wife Savannah For Often Putting Basketball Before Family When you’re trying to juggle a career, a marriage, a family and still hoping to find a way to carve a little something out for yourself, something’s got to give. In an attempt to excel in one area, usually our professional careers, many of us take for granted the other aspects of our life that require tender love and care. It’s one thing to know you’re slacking in such a way, it’s another to actually acknowledge, apologize to and celebrate those who’ve been put on the backburner. LeBron James is doing just that. While speaking with teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, who have the podcast Road Trippin, he James stated that his drive to be the greatest to play in the NBA has caused him to, at times, sacrifice being with his family so that he can train, practice and play. It’s something he decided to apologize to wife Savannah for. “I am addicted to the process. I’m addicted to the process,” he said. “It’s so funny. I just told my wife the other day, I apologized to her. She was like ‘What are you apologizing for?’ I said ‘Because the journey that I’m on to want to be the greatest to ever play this game or to the point where no one ever forgets what I accomplished, I’ve at times lost the fact of how important you are to this whole thing.’” [ madamenoire ] Diddy Announces Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story Documentary Finally, we are getting a documentary about one of Hip-Hop’s most storied record labels and crews, Bad Boy.

Former Vice President, Joe Biden confirmed the news of the relationship with the New York Post’s Page Six, “We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s all and complete support and we are happy for them.” You may be wondering what the hell “N*gga I ain’t worried about nothin’” has to do with all of this. Well, I’m trying to put myself in Beau’s shoes. I’m wondering if my soul would be troubled by the fact that my sibling was now romantically involved with my spouse. A part of me thinks that I would be occupied with more pressing concerns, like how my parents and children were coping in the wake of my departure. I would like to think that I wouldn’t be tripping about the fact that two people who I loved dearly, fell in love with each other. Once you get past the salaciousness of the news, it makes sense. Hallie had just lost her husband. Hunter had just lost his brother and then left his wife. Their names both start with an H. You don’t have to think hard about how they might have ended up with one another. [ madamenoire ] Teyana Taylor’s Workout Course Is Officially Available For All Your Summer Body Goals Teyana Taylor sure knows how to turn an opportunity into a business venture. After the music video for Kanye West’s “Fade” debuted at the 2016 MTV VMAs featuring Taylor working it with her “Flashdance”/”Do The Right Thing” provocative dance moves, everyone was talking about how fit and in shape she was. A light bulb obviously went off in Taylor’s head because now the singer has just released her own online workout series aptly called Fade2Fit. “Fade2Fit is a 90-day course, which also comes with tailored meal plans, a workout calendar, dance routines and seven workouts in seven minutes. Currently, the pricing options are three monthly payments of $49.99, for a total charge of $149.97, or a limited-time offer for a one-time payment of $99.79, which will also include added perks such as 10 percent off apparel and equipment and free access to all future Teyana workouts,” reported The Root. [ madamenoire ] Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty Land Spots on Forbes Cash Prince List Forbes just dropped another one of their pocket-watcher alerts. The money magazine has revealed the 2017 iteration of their annual Cash Princes [and Princesses] list. Most of them are names that you’ve been hearing from everyday, all day, all year. Desiigner, D.R.A.M., Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert and Young M.A. are the obvious inclusions as their profiles have been hard to miss. Not obvious additions were Isaiah Rashad and Noname. The list was rounded out by British MC Stormzy [who just dropped a very dope album] and singers Tory Lanez and Bryson Tiller. How does one qualify to be on the Cash Prince list? Obviously, you have to be making some good money. Yachty for example, has secured his bag via Sprite and Target commercials as well commanding $100,000 a show. You also have to be under the age of 30 and have never appeared on the list before. The list was put together by TDE’s Dave Free, Too $hort, Brit rapper Little Simz as well as staffers from Forbes.

Tony Rock isn’t the first person you think of when it comes to relationship advice, but after the way he read Steve Harvey’s mess we figured, why not? Well, there’s also the fact that Rock is the host of TV One’s new show, “The Game of Dating.” The hilarious dating show just premiered last Tuesday and features three teams of friends and/or family members watching real dates in a “hidden camera” style with viewers acting as judges. Since Rock is all things love and dating right now, we reached out for a little guidance of our own. We asked the comedian to help us decide between a man that’s for real and one that’s a f-ck boy. See what he said when we put these scenarios in front of him. [ madamenoire ] “I Believe That This President Should Be Impeached.” Congresswoman Maxine Waters On Her Plan To Get Trump Out Of Office I know my friends, family and I are disgusted by the results of our recent presidential election, the executive orders that have passed since Trump took office and the cabinet members and nominations he’s put in place since his first day on the job. But you have to wonder if other politicians feel some type of ire. Are they still willing to give Donald Trump a chance? Are they just going to wait out the next four years? Well, there’s one Congresswoman who is not going to sit idly by. Maxine Waters has been serving as a Democratic Representative for the past 27 years. She’s advocated against apartheid, opposed mandatory minimum sentencing and now she’s taking on Donald Trump. Waters has never minced words when it comes to Trump. As we reported earlier, when Tamron Hall asked Waters if she were attending the inauguration, Waters said plainly, “I don’t honor him. I don’t respect him and I don’t want to be involved with him.” [ madamenoire ] O-Dog AKA Larenz Tate Joins Cast Of Starz Series Power Veteran actor Larenz Tate, who exploded on the scene in his now-infamous role as violent gangster O-Dog in Menace II Society, has joined the cast of the Starz hit drama, Power.

If you’ve been on the internet within the past month, you’ve likely stumbled across the name Jeff Sessions. If you’re like me and like to avoid words, things and people that have to do with Donald Trump, you might not know why he’s significant. Well, Sessions is a Republican senator from Alabama who President-elect Donald Trump has picked as his candidate for Attorney General. Of all the people Trump has suggested putting into positions of power, it’s Sessions’ name that has caused the most outrage. Mostly because, in addition to his anti-immigration stance, he has a reputation for being racist. In fact, according to The Washington Post, in 1986, he was denied a federal judgeship because former colleagues testified that Sessions used the n-word and joked about the Klan, saying he thought they were “okay” until he learned that they smoked marijuana. That same year when he was attempting to become a judge Coretta Scott King wrote a 9-page-letter to Congress asking that he not be nominated because he used his office to suppress the Black vote in his state. [ madamenoire ] How The Woman In This Controversial Holiday Photo Turned Lemons Into Lemonade A couple of weeks ago, LaNaadrian Easterling, Psy.D was enjoying an annual Christmas trip to Big Bear with her close friends and family. Days after the trip, an annual group photo that includes Easterling, actor Lance Gross, his wife Rebecca and three other couples, went viral. In addition to the silly memes, the image garnered many discussions, at times heated, about colorism. We caught up with Easterling to discuss the contentious photo and how she’s using her unplanned push into the spotlight to put that spotlight on something positive. [ madamenoire ] Taxtone Arrested For Alleged Involvement In Troy Ave Shooting Podcaster Taxstone has been arrested on gun charges connected to the infamous Troy Ave shooting at Irving Plaza last May. He was arrested in Brooklyn on Monday (Jan. 16) According to NBC News, Taxstone, born Daryl Campbell was picked up without incident on a federal warrant. The host of the Tax Season podcast was wanted for being a felon in possession of firearm while NYPD was looking for him due to his involvement in the shooting. Shortly after the incident, which went down at a T.I. concert, many speculated it was Taxstone seen running away as Troy Ave licked off shots in his direction. As for Troy Ave, he got shot, again, at the end of 2016 while sitting in his Maserati in Brooklyn—and dropped a pornographic music video, starring himself.

Not only were we sitting front and center in front of the television for the president’s farewell speech last night, but we stayed in front of it in anticipation of the return of Being Mary Jane. Fans of the show had been waiting quite some time to find out what’s next for Mary Jane Paul and her family, more than a year to be specific. And if you’ll recall, quite a bit went down in Season 3, including the suicide of Lisa, the arrest of Cece (Loretta Devine) for blackmailing, and of course, Niecy being tasered by a police officer in the season finale after a traffic stop gone left. So how do we pick up in Season 4 without Mara Brock Akil and a new showrunner in Erica Shelton Kodish? Here’s what happened. [ madamenoire ] Regina King Secures Production Development Deal With ABC Shonda Rhimes, in one of award speeches, spoke about the fact that there was no glass ceiling she broke through. She spoke about the fact that so many of the women who came before her cracked the ceiling, so that by the time she came along, nothing needed to be shattered at all. The same is true for what Rhimes has been able to do in the entertainment industry. According to Deadline, veteran, Emmy-award-winning Regina King, who has starred in the Emmy-winning, ABC series “American Crime,” and her production company Royal Ties, signed a two-year deal with the studio behind the John Ridley limited series and ABC Studios. [ madamenoire ] Whoopi Goldberg Calls Kanye West “Idiot Boy!” Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t have any hairs on her tongue and on Tuesday’s episode (Jan. 10) of The View she licked off a few shots aimed directly at Kanye West. Bringing up how Kanye boasted about not voting in last November’s Presidential election, Whoopi said “I would like [Kim Kardashian] to say to him, ‘Listen, don’t ever think that saying you didn’t vote is a good idea.” The Ghost actress continued to berate Yeezy’s actions, stating “I don’t care who you would have voted for… because people died for your right to not vote, you idiot boy. You foolish boy! Idiot boy!” While we get why Whoopi is angry, the man did say that he would’ve voted for Trump had he indeed voted. So it would’ve still been an L for the culture. In Kanye’s defense, he was going through a mental breakdown though he did meet with the controversial president-elect during his road to recovery. While we’re not sure if Kanye’s going to respond to Goldberg’s criticism of his actions, we do know that it’s not going to get as many headlines as Trump’s alleged love of water sports.

[ madamenoire ] Jamie Foxx’s Dating Advice To His Daughters? “Don’t Take No Back Seat To Nobody” It’s pretty common these days for people to say that when it comes to relationships, modern-day women don’t “let a man be a man.” They like to say that independent women are shooting themselves in the foot in terms of their dating prospects with high standards, and that letting a man lead in a relationship, especially in a marriage, is the best thing for both parties. But as a father of two daughters who are vastly different ages (Corinne was born in 1994, Annalise in 2009), Jamie Foxx doesn’t want either one of his children to dim their light to let a man shine.

Reports TMZ: The famed producer just filed the docs, attempting to get out of marriage … which went down in 2011. Scott says he and Christina Gray said, “I do” on June 7, 2011 — but separated the next day. He says they haven’t been together since then. In the docs, Scott admits he and Christina were hammered when they tied the knot, and were “not of sound mind.” It is weird he’s just now getting around to filing annulment docs … 5 and half years later.
