For a long time, NeNe Leakes was one of the longest reigning “RHOA” housewives, scoring a paycheck higher than her fellow cast mates. But according to Kenya Moore , Kandi Burruss is now the highest earner of the bunch. On a recent episode of the “Wendy Williams” show, Moore revealed that her relationship with NeNe is full of tension, particularly after NeNe threatened to spit on the mom of one. “Well you’re after her paycheck,” Williams insinuated. “I make my own money,” Kenya clapped back, but Wendy didn’t let up. “As a housewife, she’s the top biller.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “That’s not true,” Kenya corrected. Continuing, “Kandi makes the most money. So if I was coming for anyone’s purse or bag it would be Kandi. Kandi is the real HBIC on that show, ok? I’m just a player, I have a nice coin. My little bag I take home at night and it feeds my child very well, so I’m not coming for anybody’s money.” Kandi is the second longest running cast member of “RHOA” behind NeNe since she joined in season 2. But when you add up all the time spent on screen, because NeNe took a break from the show during season 8, the two have appeared on the series almost an equal amount of time. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Kandi is worth a whopping $35 million. At the time of the report, Kandi’s “RHOA” income was estimated to be around $450k per season. Not only is Burruss a housewife but she’s also a Grammy Award winning songwriter and record producer, and she owns multiple businesses.

T he inspiring story of a young chess prodigy whose family overcame homelessness is coming to the big screen. According to Deadline , Trevor Noah will produce a film about 8-year-old Tani Adewumi ; a New York-based chess champion who has defied the odds. Homeless 8-Year Old Nigerian Chess Prodigy Who Won NY State Championship Checkmates Paramount Movie Deal With ‘Daily Show’s Trevor Noah Among Producers https://t.co/Kg5C2yD97y pic.twitter.com/iXlBBYAI3J — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) November 1, 2019 Adewumi garnered national attention earlier this year after becoming the New York State chess champion for his age division. Under the guidance of his school’s chess coach Shawn Martinez , he learned how to play chess within a year and began participating in competitive matches. He went on to win the New York State Chess Championship title for the kindergarten through third-grade division. While in the spotlight for excelling at chess, a focus was put on Adewumi and his family’s living situation. His family fled from Africa to the U.S. to escape the Boko Haram extremist group two years ago and had been living in a homeless shelter. After their story received national attention, a GoFundMe page was created in an effort to help his family afford a permanent home. The Adewumi’s received over $200,000 from their fundraising campaign and moved into an apartment near Tani’s school. They also utilized the money to launch the Tanitoluwa Adewumi Foundation to help African immigrants in the U.S. who are facing financial hardships. “Anybody who is coming from Africa who is in the position we were in, we will help them. I want to release my blessing to others,” Adewumi’s father Kayode said in a statement . The film will be based on three books about the family that will be released under the W Publishing group in 2020. Noah will produce the project alongside Bob Teitel , George Tillman Jr. , Norman Aladjem , and Haroon Saleem . Paramount has acquired the project.

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Real Housewives of Atlanta is back for the twelfth time! Can you believe it has been 12 seasons? Time flies when you’re watching reality TV shenanigans. Anyway, the cast and crew have gone through a lot of changes but this season, Eva, Cynthia, Nene, Porsha, Kandi and even Kenya are back for another round of drama. We knew that Kenya wouldn’t be gone for long, especially with the drama going on with her soon-to-be-ex husband, Marc Daily. Kenya isn’t the only one going through drama with her man. Porsha is also going through it. Porsha’s man Dennis was in #TheBlogs for allegedly cheating on Porsha while she was pregnant. The thing is, Tasha K, the blogger who started the rumor about one woman in particular named Sincerely, is a suspect source. She has a proven track record of literally making rumors up and it has been working for her because snippets of her vlog made it to the episode, but I digress. Anyway, Sincerely ran into Kandi, Cynthia and Eva at Old Lady Gang and told them she doesn’t even know Dennis. The girls take this information back to Porsha and she’s not even all that thrilled because this is just one clearance of many. Now, wasn’t Porsha the same one talking about how she wasn’t gonna as Dennis any questions, back when they first began dating, and proceeded to move at lightning speed? Anyway, she got her baby. Porsha and Kenya both got the babies they desperately wanted and that is the very thing that has brought them together. You already know they’ve had a contentious relationship since they began filming RHOA together, and of course, there was that time when Porsha literally dragged Kenya. All of that is in the past now and they have been connecting not just as new moms, but new moms with man drama. Kenya had a cute Barbie-themed party for Brooklyn just as a way for people to get to meet her. So, the crew came dressed up in various iterations of Barbie to show some love. Porsha and Kenya had a moment with their baby girls where they talked about how they are finally ready to just let it go, and motherhood has a lot to do with that decision. Yay motherhood! So, what do you think? Do you think this friendship will last or is it only a matter of time before they spazz out on each other again? Lastly, speaking of Brooklyn, she actually turned one today! Kenya posted a sweet message to her daughter on IG today. Check that out along with other pics from the episode.

It became frustrating because they’d use products that weren’t compatible with her hair. In an interview with Allure she said, “Through my time in Hollywood, I have been in a thousand different situations where the people who work in glam just had no idea how to deal with textured hair. I would get on set and they’d be like, ‘Why doesn’t your hair look like it did in the picture?’ Meanwhile, I just showed up like I was told to, with clean hair fresh from the shower.” This experience birthed Flawless by Gabrielle Union . The affordable collection includes a hair repair masque, moisturizing conditioner, blow-dry hair cream, moisturizing shampoo, heat protecting hair spray, treatment oil, and much more.

Source: WENN.com / WENN Karlie Redd Tells BOSSIP About Her Book, Sex Toy Line During the 2019 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Conference BOSSIP ran into a familiar face. Karlie Redd was on hand for the Author Showcase where she was promoting her new novel “EVEn Exchange.” Unbeknownst to many, Karlie wrote the fiction book back in college and always dreamt of having it read by “Sex Chronicles” author Zane. Fast forward to present day and the famed author’s given Karlie her blessing, not only EDITING it and PUBLISHING it but calling the book that dropped in July a “poignant, cautionary tale.” It’s filled with of course of steamy sex scenes, but also tells the story of a woman named Eve who takes back her power after she seduced by a rich man with a scandalous secret. Each chapter is about Eve finally getting revenge after she’s messily manipulated. According to Karlie, she was shocked when Zane agreed to take on the book and she couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Dreams do come true! I’m officially an author, I’m at NABJ!” She also told BOSSIP all about her new Doc Johnson sex toy deal. As previously reported Karlie raked in $300,000 to replicate her a$$ets and seasoned lady bits for pleasure products that “feel like the real thing.” According to Karlie who’s a certified sexologist her toys are all about inclusivity and she thinks women, black women, in particular, should proudly own their sexuality. “I sell all toys for the guys and the girls,” said Karlie. “I got your pocket rockets, your dildos—everything! We especially as black women I feel like we shy away from owning our sexuality whereas men—I seen something today where Blueface said he sex with 1,000 women. So why as women we can’t say, “This is how you suck d***. Lemme teach you so we can have one up.” She also told BOSSIP her top sex tips for women and encouraged women to kegel so they can have “wet sex”. She also stressed the importance of checking the osmolality of lubricants while getting smashed to smithereens. “Be careful of the lubricants that you use, make sure the lubricants are around 285 osmolality.” The certified sexologist is right, lubes with at least a 285 osmolality prevent vaginal dryness as they have the same hydration levels as the cells of vaginal tissue—major key.

The Real Housewive of Atlanta fans will recall that season 11 did not exactly end peacefully . There’s been a schism between the girls ever since the Bye Wig party erupted into a huge fight. And after a tense reunion on Wednesday, drama addicts can rejoice in the knowledge that the bad blood will carry over to season 12 as well. The occasion was housewife Marlo Hampton’s “I am Her” hair event. As is often the case on the Housewives shows, one of the girls holds a promotional event of some kind, and the other cast members show up to give their support. Or at least that’s how it looks on paper. Usually, the event only exists in service of the drama — an upscale backdrop for the girls to trash talk each other while wearing cocktail dresses. That certainly seems to be the case here, as star NeNe Leakes finally reunited with on-screen nemeses Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams. NeNe has been avoiding some of her castmates ever since her epic freakout at the Bye Wig party. As fans will remember, that altercation became fightentingly heated and culminated with NeNe attacking a camera man, who lost part of a tooth. NeNe still has a grudge against Porsha, who instigated that whole fracas by trying to sneak into NeNe’s very off-limits walk-in closet with Kandi Burruss. Nene was also reportedly enraged to learn that Kenya was brought back for another season, after producers fired her for keeping her marriage a secret. Ironically, Kenya might have been kept off the show if NeNe didn’t hate her so much. Apparently, the beef the two women was too much for Bravo to pass up. Since rejoining the group, Kenya has been going out of her way to find a story line for herself. To that end, she made sure to stir up some trouble at the “I am Her” event on Wednesday too. An inside source tells RadarOnline that Kenya attempted to crash the party, bringing her own rival line of hair care products. “Kenya was trying to wage a war with Marlo to cause drama,” the source claims. A tacky move to be sure, but it’s sure to make great TV if the cameras were rolling for this event, and we expect that they were. But despite this perfect receipe for another NeNe vs everyone blowout, sources say NeNe was on her best behavior. “There were no confrontations,” the source told Radar. “And [NeNe] even said hello to Kenya.” That’s some true progress for NeNe, who recently refused to be filmed in any scenes featuring Kenya or Porsha. With that said, it’s best to keep in mind that we all say hello to people we dislike on a regular basis. Sometimes you have to play nice or not play at all. At some point NeNe will have to swallow her pride and interract with her enemies, or she’ll miss out on a ton of screen time. But sources say she’s not quite there yet with Porsha. “Porsha is the only RHOA who said she is not interested in rekindling a friendship with NeNe at all,” the insider claims. This was plainly evident at the “I am Her” event, where NeNe froze Porsha out and the two girls didn’t acknowledge each other at all. So at the end of the night, an olive branch was offered, but plenty of bad blood lives on. We can’t wait to see how it all goes down on the next season of Real Housewives of Atlanta .
