Ryanair is catching hella flak over a recent racial incident that took place on one their flights from from Barcelona to London on Friday. A white old man apparently had an issue with a 77-year old Black woman sitting in the same row as him, so in true racist Wypipo fashion, he raised hell. He said to the Jamaican woman, “Don’t talk to me in a foreign language, you stupid ugly cow! Ugly black bastard.” The passenger who filmed the disgusting incident, David Lawrence, told Newsweek he was unhappy with the airline’s response which he described as “absolutely incompetent and unprofessional. Ryanair doesn’t care.” Instead of kicking the man off the flight, the airline asked the woman to move to another seat, in order to keep the peace. After being called out for being careless and unprofessional, Ryanair has since turned the issue over to Essex police. SMH.

Of course, this year’s epically messy L&HH reunion special is the thing everyone wants to know about. “It’s a drama show, I mean it’s like you tell your story and everybody has a little drama in their life or what ever but I got brought into something that … I didn’t know it was gonna end up that crazy just be being friends with somebody,” she says. “So, you know, just trying to keep the peace, focus on the music.” Anderson then switches topics to something a little more pleasant: her recently-released single. “So my single just dropped, ‘Don’t Take It Personal.’ Shout out to all the PD’s and radio stations who are showing love and support right now,” she says.

A series of new reports suggest that Chris Brown and Drake are not only quashing their beef, but open to working together on new music … no, it’s not April 1. “This is about music, forget all the bulls–t,” a source said. Drake, Chris Brown Ending Feud? “Chris isn’t opposed. If it’s something Drake wants to do and the beat is right and the lyrics are on point, he would go there . For sure he would.” “Chris hasn’t really had a problem with Drake, he was always trying to keep the peace and be positive. He let that headache go with [Drake] a long time ago.” Drake, for his part, has indicated that the Chris Brown feud was one-sided – all Brown – for some time, and worried that it will end badly one day. So if Chris really has let it go, then it’s officially dead. Both Chris Brown and Drake, who got into an epic nightclub brawl with their posses last year, have risen to the top of the music industry in recent years. Perhaps that is all that matters to each in the end. “ Rihanna ’s in another world touring, getting her bread and lighting it up for her fans. Yay for her. Chris congratulates her. Drake congratulates her.” “He and Drake ain’t got no more issues. They’re cool,” a source close to Chris adds. As far as them feeling some type of way over her, that’s a negative.” This all sounds far too mature. Something’s up.
Can you blame Tasha? Tasha Marbury Was Nervous Shooting Basketball Wives Between Tami Roman Floyd Mayweathering chicks, the bottle throwing and bags upside the head, we understand Tasha. According to S2S Magazine Tasha Marbury is ready to make a name for herself on season 5 of “Basketball Wives”! You might not know much about Tasha, but you’ve probably heard of her huby Stephon Marbury. After wrapping a season with the Boston Celtics in 2009, the former NBA player announced that he’d signed a contract to play with the Beijing Ducks out in China. But with season 5 of VH1′s hit reality show, Tasha is hoping that people will get to know the woman behind the man. “I decided to do ‘Basketball Wives’ this year because I wanted to kind of step out of my husband’s shadow, and I thought it would be a great experience,” Tasha explained. “And to do something new.” Tasha had some jitters while filming early on because she’s seen past seasons, and she knew that the cast can definitely throw down. Keeping that in mind, Tasha expected there to be some friction heading into her shooting schedule. “I was really nervous, the first three or four times that I filmed. I didn’t know whether there was going to be fighting or things thrown at [me],” Tasha confided. “I just didn’t know what to expect. I just prayed about it.” The newest “BBW” revealed that although she’s tried to keep the peace while on camera, she’s not going to be anyone’s push over. “I’m trying to walk a thin line where I’m not fighting or arguing, or saying the wrong words,” she said. “I mean, I’ve said a few curse words, but I haven’t had any fights!” Check out the video below.

Ruh-roh… A new book called The Normal Bar has gathered survey info from 100,000 people that responded to over 1 million different data inquiries that reveals what couples REALLY think of each other. Talk about tough love… Via Huffington Post Do you trust your partner? Only 39% of women in this study completely trust their partners, compared to 53% of men. What’s wrong with this picture? Why the gender difference, and why the low levels of trust in general? It may be that a lot of couples intuitively know or have learned by experience that their spouse or live-in partner has the potential to rove. Women in heterosexual relationships know the same thing that many studies have shown: that men are more interested in and titillated about sex outside the relationship, and that may account for a higher percentage of women who doubt their partner’s honesty and fidelity. On the other hand, nearly half of men suspect their partners, too. Both men and women believe that their partners will hide unpleasant truths, and that they may have to dig to find out what is really going on. Have you ever lied to your partner? Nearly three-quarters of our respondents (75% of men and 71% of women) said they lie to their partners to one degree or another. Only 27% of our respondents said they never ever lie. Does lying negatively affect the quality of your relationship? Probably not. Even among extremely happy couples, 69% of men and women said they’ve lied at some point to their partners. But the fact that very happy partners lie demands some further scrutiny. For most couples, some lying is necessary to keep the peace, to protect each other’s feelings, and to preserve a sense of safety in the relationship. The 27% who never lie may be righteous, but they can also be cruelly frank. Men and women who shade the truth may be more loving and protective. Even well-intentioned lies, however, can hurt the relationship if the truth that’s withheld is something the partner has every right and need to know. Do you lie about your partner’s sexual performance? Just as men are more likely to tell white lies about their partner’s appearance, women are more likely to flatter their partner’s sexual performance. We found that 43% of women lie about how they feel about their partner’s sexual performance, compared to just 28% of men. That’s probably not because women are better lovers but, rather, because they feel a greater need to protect their partner’s feelings. When a man feels insecure, he may have difficulty getting an stiff one, so it’s in his partner’s—as well as his—interest to boost his sexual self-esteem. The bad news here is that some honest communication has to take place; otherwise, nothing is likely to improve. As you might imagine, sexually dissatisfied men and women lie almost twice as much (50%) as sexually satisfied partners (27%). If you talk openly and honestly with your partner about what isn’t working, you’re much more likely to achieve sexual satisfaction than if you salve your partner’s sexual feelings at the expense of your own pleasure. Lying may cause fewer storms, but also fewer climaxes! Ladies, keep it 100…have you been lying to your “bae” about how he puts it down??? Image via Essence

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick were supposedly broken up last month. Then they weren’t. Then they were friends with benefits, or kind of off and on. Who knows. If there’s one way to woo a trailer park beauty , it’s with frozen yogurt and McDonald’s. We seen her at the latter a ton, but most recently, it was time for a cool treat. Jason looked like he was just an accessory along for the ride. The pop singer looked, as usual, like she’d experienced a long night with make up smeared on her eyes. She also looked to be ignoring Jason a little … Could she be keeping her distance from her agent beau? No word on whether Britney Spears’ mom moved in yet or how Jason feels about that. We’re guessing he can’t be thrilled, but sometimes, you do what you gotta. Somebody has to keep the peace between Britney and Jamie, after all, and Lynne Spears has filled that role to a T. Jason Trawick may just be collateral damage.
