‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Pretty Ricky Still Can’t Get Right

Read the original here:

Source: Apega/WENN / WENN Veronica Vega is back on tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Miami . She’s determined to take control of her career after chatting with Polow Da Don. She’s tired of people having the wrong idea about her and wants to move past the controversy of “Pay Me,” the drama with Amara La Negra, etc. Luckily for her, Trick Daddy has taken a liking to her (not like that)  and wants to help. He set her up with an interview with Nore’s podcast, Drink Champs . Later on in the episode, she goes on the show and actually does well despite the fact that they pulled no punches with their line of questioning. Good for her. Bobby Lytes meets with his mom for advice. He wants to know if he should sign with Trina or go with Clear Vision Group. There are pros and cons for both. Trina said she wants to wait on having him sign paperwork and first sees how he does with putting out a single. Clear Vision group is ready to go full speed ahead. His mother says to go with Trina since she’s family and has more experience. Bobby Lytes has some thinking to do. Later on, he decides to sign with Clear Vision. We already knew he’d make the more controversial decision. Trina didn’t even know that deal was on the table. She definitely won’t be happy. Miami Tip had a meeting with Jullian and Amara La Negra and decided to be messy and bring Jessie Woo along. You already know Jessie didn’t hold back about how she thinks Jullian was feeding her ideas to Amara La Negra. Eventually, this ends in drama (of course). Jessie said she heard Amara was going around saying she was going to beat her arse then says that Amara’s mother, cousins and everyone can get it. We all know Amara doesn’t play about her mother so she pretends she’s actually going to pop off on Jessie but that tight Love and Hip-Hop Miami security swoops in and handles that. Then Amara acts all disappointed in herself, talking about how she doesn’t want to stoop to Jessie’s level, but she’s tired of people coming for her. Jullian talks her off the ledge and reminds her of her success and all the good things coming up. Baby Blue reached out to his father, Big Blue, to come back into the mix and whip Pretty Ricky back into shape. That sounds good in theory, but in practice, Big Blue isn’t even on good terms with the rest of Pretty Ricky, including his other son, Spectacular. As a matter of fact, Spectacular didn’t even invite him to his wedding. It’s also important to note that Spectacular didn’t even ask Baby Blue to be his best man. Basically, the rest of the group feels like Big Blue did not manage their money well. So let’s fast forward to the end of the episode. It’s the big chat with Big Blue and the rest of Pretty Ricky. Slick ‘Em start going in on Big Blue about finances first. Slick ‘Em said he’s still financially messed up from the group and doesn’t even have a bank account. Big Blue refuses to take responsibility for that. Then Spectacular chimes in and says that Pretty Ricky never got paid for all the touring they did. Then Big Blue tries to flip it on him and says that Spectacular has been making money off Pretty Ricky’s social media and shouldn’t talk. This is a mess. Spectacular starts yelling at his pops because he wishes he would just take responsibility for their financial ruin but Big Blue doesn’t like the way Spectacular is talking so now he and Spec go at it. These brothers legit threaten to beat each other up and that’s where the episode ends. We know security won’t let this go down but it’s high time for them to get a therapist. Where’s Dr. Jeff Gardere when we need him. RELATED POSTS ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Shay Pops Off On Jojo For Breaking Girl Code ‘LHHMIAS2’ Recap: Trina Mediates A Peace Talk Between Joy And Shay

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Is Dennis McKinley Cheating on Porsha Williams?

Porsha Williams has a new boyfriend on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and it appears that he’s attempting to deceive her.  Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta featured a string of bombshells about Dennis, and it was all thanks to Kandi Burruss and her curious mind.  Kandi met up with her friends, Carmon and Jami, and wasted no time in talking about Dennis. To the surprise of nobody, it emerged that Dennis was allegedly dating a woman to two-and-a-half or three years while when he first got together with Porsha.  “She was talking to us about her new boyfriend, child,” Kandi said to Carmon the moment Dennis came up. “I mean, obviously, we know people that he kicked it with before. He went and bought her a little Rolex, girl!” “Oh, he likes Rolexes, huh?” Carmon responded, talking about the watch Dennis allegedly bought for another girl.  “Yeah, I know him,” Jami said, clearly wanting to throw her two cents into the ring. “My friend dated him. When we were in Africa, she found out ’cause her friend texted her and said that he’s with Porsha now, and so it was a big situation. She was crying!” “You mean, she didn’t know he was dating somebody?” said a stunned Kandi, who went on to take issue with the length of time he was with the other woman.  “That can’t be right because I know a couple girls that he was dating during that time,” she admitted, adding: “He falls pretty quickly — and he tattoos people’s names on him. I think he got her face and her name.” That’s when things got extra awkward: Jami claimed that Dennis had a picture of the woman’s name. The woman started to laugh about what would happen if Dennis got Porsha’s name on his body.  In another part of town, Porsha was none the wiser, and telling her mother all about her relationship.  “We’re down in Miami, we have this beautiful dinner, he gives me my Rolex watch,” Porsha told her mom while grinning from ear-to-ear.  That’s when disaster struck, and Porsha showed her mother a photo of Dennis’ thigh, and it had a tattoo of her name.  “I didn’t tell you the other part!” Porsha continued. “He’s gonna put my face on his back! This is for real, like, he ain’t going nowhere.” “He said, ‘You’re the first person that has brought this type of happiness and joy in my life,'” Porsha said, clearly happy with herself. “It’s like a freaking dream! He said, ‘If I can’t make dinner, I order freshly prepared meals from a meal-prep company.'” What a crazy way all of that  played out, right? I mean, I’m no relationship expert, but whatever Dennis is doing, it’s not healthy and he will likely get his comeuppance in the coming weeks.  Elsewhere, Gregg Leakes decided against getting chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer, and NeNe had a lot to say about it.  “Chemo is not something that Gregg is thinking about doing at the moment,” she said in a confessional. “Obviously we hear all the report of people doing chemo and being very sick. So he feels like if there’s any other options that can take, I’d rather take those options and let chemo sit on the back burner for now.” However, Gregg’s doctor had other ideas.  “There other areas of cancer that may still be in the body that we just don’t know about. Microscopic cancer cells floating around somewhere in the body that, if we don’t do anything for those, will grow back and show back up as cancer,” he told Gregg. “I would use chemotherapy at this point to try to reduce that risk of the cancer coming back. What we do know is that chemotherapy can reduce that risk of the cancer coming back by about half.” Gregg quizzed the doctor about any other potential treatment plans.  “We’re certainly supportive of patients who want to think about how to integrated that,” the doctor said of other ways. “Unfortunately, there’s nothing that we have that I can recommend in lieu of the chemotherapy that we know could help reduce that risk.” “I don’t want to miss out of the big picture, which is this is something we can fight,” Dr. Kopetz continued. But Gregg was defiant and stuck to what he believed in.  “If the cancer was more active, I would entertain chemo a lot quicker,” Gregg later told Cynthia Bailey. “I’m deciding to really take my life and use it as a mouthpiece for other people,” he said. “I just want to use my life in a way to help someone. So I can say I’m Gregg Leakes, and I have cancer, but I will be a survivor.” NeNe was on the same page as her husband. “I’m very much on the same page as Gregg,” she said. “I’m not sure I would do chemo. We’ve watched chemo destroy people, so it’s not something that he is even interested in.” “Gregg is definitely on a rollercoaster. His emotions are all over the place. He cries, he’s short patience, he’s frustrated,” she added. “I feel like because he is weak at this moment, he needs someone who is going to be strong, so I feel like I have to be his rock as he has been my rock for so many years.” Toni Braxton recommended some holistic options, but it didn’t quite help matters. One of the therapists told Gregg he needed to eat a snake.  What are your thoughts on all the action?

Charles Krauthammer, Conservative Pundit, Confirms Death is Near

Charles Krauthammer, the long-time conservative columnist and television pundit, informed readers on Friday morning that he is confronting an aggressive form of cancer. He says he will be dead within the next few weeks. “My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live,” Krauthammer wrote very simply in The Washington Post earlier today. Krauthammer passed along this devastating piece of news in a short, matter-of-fact note on the website of the aforementioned newspaper, for which he’s worked as a columnist since 1984. “I leave this life with no regrets,” Krauthammer added in the farewell message, which has been making the Internet rounds all day. He continued: “It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. “I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended.” That’s a pretty amazing and admirable attitude for anyone to have, considering what Krauthammer is facing right now. Krauthammer has also worked as commentator for Fox News over the past few years. However, he was forced to step away from both the newspaper and the cable network last August for surgery to remove what he called at the time “a cancerous tumor in my abdomen.” It appeared at one point as if the cancer was in remission, but Krauthammer confirmed on Friday that this positive news was only temporary. “Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned,” he wrote. “There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly.” In his note to readers, Krauthammer thanked co-workers, readers, and viewers “who have made my career possible and given consequence to my life’s work.” He added: “I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking. “I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation’s destiny.” A handful of folks in the world of TV and politics have also chimed in after learning of this tragic news. For example, Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox News, said in a statement Friday afternoon: Charles has been a profound source of personal and intellectual inspiration for all of us at Fox News. His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer. H is words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come. And Vice President Mike Pence Tweeted the following: Karen and I were saddened to learn that Charles ⁦@krauthammer⁩, a man we greatly admire, is nearing the end of his extraordinary life. His wit, his wisdom, and his tireless defense of Western values have made an indelible mark on the minds of millions of Americans.

Demi Lovato Celebrates 6 Years of Sobriety, Reveals Encounter With "B-tchy" Celebrity

At just 25, Demi Lovato has enjoyed higher highs and endured lower lows than most people will experience in a lifetime. The singer rose to fame while still in her teens, but the pressures of such sudden success quickly took a toll. Lovato’s struggles with addiction could have cost her career – and so much more. But at her lowest point, Demi was strong enough to seek help, and that has made all the difference. These days,  Lovato is sober , and her music is more popular than ever. More importantly, however, Demi is happy, healthy, and willing to publicly share the details of her painful struggle in hopes of helping others. Earlier this week, Demi marked another year of clean living, and she celebrated the occasion on social media: “Just officially turned 6 years sober,” Lovato tweeted. “So grateful for another year of joy, health and happiness. It IS possible.  While Lovato maintains that the decision to get sober was the most important one she’s ever made, she admits that she still struggles from time to time. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight , Demi revealed that she came dangerously close to falling off the wagon at the 2016 Met Gala . “I had a terrible experience,” Lovato recalls. “This one celebrity was a complete b-tch and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink.” Demi says the experience was an eye-opening one that caused her to realize she has more in common with fellow former addicts than she does with many of her fellow celebs: “I changed my clothes, but I still had my diamonds on — millions of dollars of diamonds on in an AA meeting,” she adds. “And I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala.” Lovato says it’s no exaggeration to say that her sobriety is quite literally a matter of life and death, “What keeps me on this path is there’s a drive that I have to stay sober because I know that my life depends on it,” she tells ET. “If I would have continued down that road, I don’t know if I’d be here today.” Well, her loved ones and her millions of fans are certainly glad she chose a different path before it was too late. Our sincere congrats go out to Demi on the achievement of a lifetime. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: 19 Candid Confessions from Her Documentary

Louise Slaughter Dies; Trailblazing Congresswoman Was 88

The House of Representatives has lost one of its most its most courageous voices. New York Rep. Louise Slaughter has passed away at the age of 88. Slaughter had been hospitalized since being injured in a fall at her home last week. She was the oldest sitting member of Congress. News of Slaughter’s death was confirmed today by her chief of staff Liam Fitzsimmons. “To have met Louise Slaughter is to have known a force of nature,” Fitzsimmons said in a statement issued to several media outlets. Indeed, Slaughter was a true rarity in the House of Representatives – a stalwart ideologue and shrewd negotiator who was also beloved by her colleagues on both sides of the aisle. First elected to represent New York’s 25th congressional district in 1986, Slaughter played key roles in shaping several hstoric pieces of legislation. She co-authored the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, but she might be best remembered for her role in helping to build congressional support for Obamacase as Rules Committee chairwoman in 2010. Slaughter was a longtime ally of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who paid tribute to her late friend in a statement issued moments ago: “With her passing, the Congressional community has lost a beloved leader and a cherished friend,” Pelosi said. “Her strong example inspired countless young women to know their power, and seek their rightful place at the head of the decision-making table.” Speaker of the House Paul Ryan ordered the flags above the Capitol Building lowered to half mast in Slaughter’s honor: “She was unrelenting in fighting for her ideas and the people back home in Western New York,” Ryan said today. “But really, the thing that I keep coming back to is how she was tough, but unfailingly gracious. She was simply great.” In the hours since the congresswoman’s death, Slaughter’s name has become a trending topic on Twitter thanks to thousands of heartfelt tributes from colleagues and admirers from all over the political spectrum.
