Barbz Beef With Grammys & First Ladies Keep It A Buck: This Week’s Winners & Losers

Follow this link:

Source: Bryan Steffy / Getty Another week, another moment of soul-snatching drama and unapologetic bluntness. Celebs and fans alike told us how they really felt this week and there was no sugarcoating in sight. Peep our winners below, then hit the next page for some salty fans who had to take an L. Winners “Over it” First Ladies There’s something about leaving public office that has to be completely liberating, especially for First Ladies. Although they’re not technically elected officials, they tend to be under as much scrutiny as their president husbands. First Ladies might have their own platforms and their own audience, but in certain ways, they still have to keep up a rigid image of womanhood and marriage that’s not always realistic. But now that Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton are out of the larger political spotlight, it seems like they have zero effs to give.   Take Michelle for example. She’s currently on a book tour for her new release Becoming and she stopped by the Barclay Center in New York this past Saturday to drop some realness. According to Vanity Fair , Michelle was talking about marriage and she made a reference to the book Lean In by Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.  “Marriage still ain’t equal, y’all,” Michelle said. “It ain’t equal. I tell women that whole ‘you can have it all’—mmm, nope, not at the same time, that’s a lie. It’s not always enough to lean in because that s**t doesn’t work.” Whew! Michelle!   After the crowd laughed and applauded, the former FLOTUS continued, “I thought we were at home, y’all. I was gettin’ real comfortable up in here. Alright, I’m back now. Sometimes that  stuff  doesn’t work.” Get comfortable Michelle! GET COMFORTABLE. Released in 2013, the book Lean In hasn’t necessarily aged well over the years, especially for women of color who aren’t in the corporate world. “Leaning in” to let your presence be known as a woman in the office might not work as well in other aspects of life. When talking about marriage especially, Michelle kept things a little more funky: “People are like, ‘Oh, why’d she talk about marriage counseling?’ I’m like, ‘Duh. Marriage is hard,’ you know. It is hard . . . I love my husband, and we have a great marriage, and we’ve had a great marriage, but marriage is hard work.” Boom. Some ‘Chelly realness for you. Hillary Clinton also didn’t have time for the BS this week when she attended George H.W. Bush ‘s funeral. When 45 a.k.a. Donald Trump arrived, Hillary was NOT about to fake like she liked him. Hillary and her husband were having a GRAND time sitting next to the Obamas at the funeral. They were laughing, ki ki’ing and probably making plans for the next karaoke night. But when Trump and Melania came through, the whole mood of the church pew shifted.  The Trumps came to sit next to the Obamas and everyone pretty much shook their hand except for Hillary. Now there’s no telling what was going through Hillary’s mind at the time as it pertains to Trump, but if you watch the footage, it looks like she was completely and utterly OVER IT. Peep the facial at the 0:58 mark below…   O  V  E  R    I  T. Mrs. Clinton had zero time.

7 Explosive Takeaways From ‘The Bobby Brown Story’ On BET

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty BET’s The Bobby Brown Story filled in the gritty details of Bobby Brown’s life that the New Edition Story glazed over. The four-hour special, which is set to air over two days, covers Bobby’s life from his breakout solo album to his current age and the trials and triumphant he faced being married to the greatest voice of our time. Bobby Brown Kicked Janet Jackson Out Of His Hotel It’s hard to believe Bobby Brown and Janet Jackson once had a love affair so intense it resulted in him kicking her out of his hotel room naked. Yup, you read and watched that scene right. According to Brown, Janet, who was engaged to be married to James DeBarge, didn’t want to go public with their relationship because he was Black. His insinuation led to an argument, which, by his perspective, led to him tossing her out his room after they had sex. Janet has yet to confirm or deny said affair.

The couple would allegedly disappear for months, secluded in their home on drug binges. In one scene, Bobby returned to their hotel room unable to find drugs after their usual dealer was dry, leading Whitney, who was alone with Robyn, to slam the door in his face and set him back out on the street. Bobby Brown & Robyn Faced Off Several Times Source: KMazur / Getty It’s no secret Bobby and Whitney Houston’s best friend Robyn had a strained relationship, but The Bobby Brown Story goes into detail on how volatile it got at times. The TV film really alludes to Robyn and Whitney having a sexual relationship, which enraged Bobby. They faced off, on night, and Bobby kicked Robyn out their house and bedroom. He Found Whitney Did Drugs On Their Wedding Day According to Bobby Brown, he found out Whitney used drugs when he walked into her bridal suite before their wedding. Brown was having cold feet and wanted to see his soon-to-be bride before they walked down the aisle when he found her sniffing coke. He Got Whitney Pregnant The Same Time As His Baby’s Mother Shortly before Bobby Brown proposed to Whitney, he slept his baby’s mother and got her pregnant. Whitney happened to also be pregnant at the time. Unfortunately, Whitney lost her child while filming The Bodyguard . She eventually got pregnant again and gave birth to Bobbi Kristina. His Sister’s Fiance Was Shot In front Of Him Bobby Brown and his sister’s fiancee Steven Sealy (played by Lance Gross) were leaving Biarritz Lounge bar when a gunman opened fire on Brown’s Bentley, shooting Sealy in the head. He Combined Assets With Whitney’s Management Team Against his lawyer’s wishes, Bobby refused to get a prenup and at one point, allowed Whitney Houston’s management company to manage his finances.

According to NBCDFW , Dallas Cowboys cornerback Marquez White was arrested in the firearm sanctuary known as Texas for flashing his gun at a racist douchebag who was road raging. As White was making his way home, another motorist allegedly began shouting racist slurs and driving aggressively near him. White says he noticed the man reaching for something in his car and feared it was a gun, in response, White brandished his legal handgun. The racist motorist followed White all the way home and then called the cops on him. White turned himself into police after being notified by the Cowboys that there was a warrant out for his arrest. A grand jury indicted White for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against the racist…who followed him home… Of all the places in the world, how the HELL is gun-toting Texas going tell this man that he was wrong for upping the llama on a psycho like this driver??
