ATL’s own Lloyd took to his Twitter page to vent his frustrations after not being nominated for a BET Award last night. Lloyd — who previously collaborated with Patti LaBelle on his “Lay It Down” remix — wasn’t even involved in the tribute later that night after performing at the pre-show. Check out some of his tweets (WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT) : RELATED: Lloyd Gives Fan Crotch-Rubbed Shirt At Birthday Bash 16 [EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS] RELATED: 2011 BET Awards Best And Worst Dressed [PHOTOS]
The institution of marriage is perfect. God created it. What is not perfect are the husband and the wife. The husband and wife are not perfect because they were once boyfriend and girlfriend. Dating is ruining marriages. Shoot boyfriend/girlfriend relationships are lasting longer than marriages these days. Bad girlfriends are allowing boyfriends to extend relationships beyond the time it takes to get a college education. (Notice that I did not say bad boyfriends. He can’t be too bad if she is staying.) Remember ladies, DATE MORE & LEAVE EARLIER! Man and woman are developing bad habits during dating that they are taking into marriage. What I am finding is that men are going into marriages lacking operational principles. The three most prominent principles they are missing are leadership, financial management and communication principles. For women it is not so much the principles that are missing as it is the self respect. I am meeting too many women that would rather be married than respected by their man. (If he don’t respect you, he is not your man, he is your male and male can be delivered to any address.) MEN The single man is doing whatever he wants to do. He maybe dating a woman that he really likes but then a disagreement occurs and instead of working through that disagreement and coming up with a compromise, he just leaves. He leaves under the assumption that the woman is the one that’s crazy. Men, if your woman is crazy then you drove her to craziness! I believe a good man will resolve all of the issues of a woman. Love your woman right and I assure you that you won’t have a problem with her. Single men are not developing the skills necessary while dating to be successful at marriage. The average single man is not preparing for marriage. They are not seeking out other successfully married men for guidance and advice. They are not fully aware of the amount of love necessary to keep the wife happy. Here is a barometer fellas: 1.) God 2.) Wife 3.) Wife 4.) Open 5.) Everyone Else. Marriages would survive if men adopted a good leadership principle. PRINCIPLES My principle is, “All relationships and marriages are either successful or they fail based solely on the leadership of the man.” Men set the tone of the relationship. Men set the direction of the marriage. It starts with the man. Men are competitive in everything in life except the longevity of their marriage. I challenge all of my friends right here and right now: NO ONE WILL BE MARRIED LONGER THAN ME! And that includes death because studies show that you live longer when you are happily married. My wife and I are going to be married at least 100 years! We will be married those 105 or so years because I have adopted a leadership principle. That leadership principle is that if anything goes wrong in our marriage it is my fault. When our marriage was bad, we spent a lot of time pointing fingers at eat other. I spent too much energy trying to explain to her why I was right and she was wrong. (I was probably wrong.) I spent so much time thinking about our disagreement that it just became easier to raise my hand and say, “It is my fault honey.” Then I could apologize, make my 2-3 points, hear her piece and SQUASH IT!!!! A leader is not afraid of taking on responsibility. A man with good leadership principles is not as concerned with the problem as they are concerned with the solution. Once men tackle and beat their leadership issues next up is financial management. Financial principles are the foundational methods that a man uses to spend, save and invest money. I developed my financial principles because I have way too many conversations with men complaining about money. Here is a scenario that I had recently with a man: RelationshipBeast: If you knew that house was too much for you to be able to afford comfortably then why did you let her talk you into buying it? Dude: She really loved that house. I wanted to make her happy. RelationshipBeast: If you have financial principles it is easier to stick to a budget. Don’t come crying now about the expenses when you approved them. Since you did not have a financial principle, now you have a financial problem.

Last night BET may have encountered their most embarrassing moment to date! An award that has been given out by a fan for some years now went terribly wrong after the “teleprompter winner” didn’t match the “Evo Tablet Winner.” Tiffany Greene (a huge Nicki Minaj fan) was horribly embarrassed after she read the winner of the Coca-Cola’s Viewer’s Choice Award winner to be Chris Brown then Rihanna and finally Drake who after all the fumbles actually didn’t win the award! This comes after Rihanna and Drake have been rumored to be messing around. Tiffany took to her Twitter account accusing BET of setting her up, saying: “Bawling backstage. They totally f*cked me up.” “The tablet f*ckin said CHRIS BROWN….the TELEPROMPTER said Rihanna. What the F*CK?????? Goin home.” “So BET did that on purpose. Oh. I feel better.” “Look b*tches….Im not SLOW. lol They did the sh*t on PURPOSE. F*cked up right? *shrug* smh” Check out the blunder below:

Well what do you know! “Basketball Wives” star, Jennifer Williams, was spotted in LA this weekend attending some of the BET Awards events with a new man! According to Necolebitchie.com , she was seen in the BET Awards Radio Room yesterday with Lucas James, a celebrity trainer and nutritionist. After being asked about this mystery man sitting beside her, she started blushing and explained that he would not be featured on this season of “Basketball Wives”. The two were spotted out again at a BMI event as well as Mr. Chows in California this weekend. It’s reported that they became an item over Memorial Day Weekend, and if you’re following Jennifer on Twitter, then you’ve noticed that they’ve been tweeting each other a lot of cutesy messages such as, “@iamjennifer: thinking about someone that gives me bottomless smiles!” So cute! Looks like she is finally getting over her ex-husband Eric Williams! *insert Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable” track here* Meeka Claxton: “I Am THE Basketball Wife” [VIDEO] Top 6 Tami Roman’s Memorable Quotes Eric Williams Goes In On Ex-Wife Jennifer Williams On Twitter Are These BP Artists Good Enough to Get Signed?

Under the 2010 health law, the situation should improve. Health plans will be required to inform members that they can appeal disputed claims internally within the health plan as well as to an independent review organization not affiliated with the health plan.The new rules become effective in July. As the daughter of a woman who had a terminal disease, I can tell you first hand that it pays to appeal. You must stand firm. Here is a simple check list for you to use while you are going through this trying time. 1. Review the details of your insurance appeals process . Insurance companies are required to give you all the tools you need to properly make an appeal. There are certain timeframes to appeal so make sure you act fast. 2. Make sure you have all your paperwork in order . Keep records of everything: the bills from your provider, your explanations of benefit, copies of denial letters, your medical records, letters from your provider, etc. 3. Contact your Human Resources Department. (if you receive coverage through your employer). HR Departments are often equipped to provide you with some direction and can translate the fine print of your policy. 4. Check your insurer’s medical policy . Ask your physician to review and utilize it to prepare a “Letter of Medical Necessity” to support your case. Your physician is your best resource in preparing a successful appeal. 5. Take detailed notes when you speak to the insurance company . Write down the time and date, length of the call, the name and title of the person you speak with, and all the details of the conversation. Make note of any follow-up activities and next steps by all parties. 6. Write down your argument. Make notes of exactly what happened, when and why. If you are seeking approval for treatment, note any supporting science, clinical evidence, expected benefits, etc. Be clear, firm and concise. Make it clear that you plan to pursue the appeal until it is resolved and the claim is paid or care is approved. 7. Keep on top of the insurance company. Many appeals take weeks, even months, so call often to check in on the status. And take notes of each call. 8. An appeal may go through many levels. All insurance companies are required by law to have an appeals process. And most of these have at least three levels. The first level appeals are usually processed and reviewed by the insurance company’s appeals staff or by the insurance company’s medical director responsible for the denial. The second-level appeals are reviewed by a medical director not involved in the original claim decision. And the third-level appeals are usually completed by an independent, third-party reviewer in collaboration with a physician who is board-certified in the same specialty as the patient’s physician. If your appeal is elevated to the third level and the insurance company continues to deny your claim, you can then take your appeal to the state level. Contact your state’s Insurance Department (contact information is usually found on your state government’s website) for more information. 9. Seek professional help. If you believe you have a case but are physically unable to handle the appeals process, there are professional health advocacy organizations that can compile and submit the appeal on your behalf. Health Advocate, Inc. and Health Proponent are two of the advocacy industry leaders who can assign a personal health advocate to your case. 10. Notify your healthcare professionals. If your appeal is successful, you will want to explain the situation to your healthcare providers as soon as possible to avoid any lapse in care or damage to your credit. Before you file an appeal, talk with your insurer to understand why your claim was denied.The biggest mistake people make is that they write an appeal that doesn’t really address the reason for the denial. Good luck. Let me know how it turns out. Are These BP Artists Good Enough to Get Signed? Lil’ Kim & Nicki Minaj To Perform Together At BET Awards? Sean Kingston Released From The Hospital!
