‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: The Family Malaysia Continues With Dramatics

Follow this link:

Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty Basketball Wives picks up right from the fall out of OG blowing up Kristen’s spot about Kristen and her husband not being real Scotts. Kristen calls her man to tell him how she’s going to beat up CeCe and OG (as if anyone is actually afraid of her). CeCe tells OG that she didn’t have to weaponize sensitive information that was revealed in private. Then CeCe starts crying and talking about how she didn’t mean for things to go this way. Trying to play innocent when this is probably what her inner thoughts look like:  Shaunie, Malaysia, Evelyn, and Feby are just looking at OG like… They really don’t like her anyway, so they’re making it a point to tell her how dead wrong she is, yatta yatta. But they’re also giving CeCe the side eye because she’s the one who put the battery in OG’s back by talking trash about Kristen and their family to her. Obviously, the family drama is deep. Malaysia probably didn’t really know what she was getting into bringing them on the show. You know how you have relatives that you’re cool with but you might not see or talk to that often, so you don’t always know what’s going on with them? That’s what this kind of seems like. So, bringing them on Basketball Wives might not have been such a good idea after all. No one wins when the family feuds.  Sorry, couldn’t resist.  Tami meets up with OG and Jackie another day and is on OG’s side. So, when Jackie is trying to explain what happened and how OG is wrong, Tami pushes back. This causes them to go back and forth, and Jackie gets really pissed when Tami calls her fake. Tami’s thing is that Jackie has been involved in lots of they petty mean girl stuff so why is she trying to chastise OG now?  Later on, Tami kicks it with Jackie, Shaunie, and OG and once again, they talk about the drama. Now it’s Shaunie’s turn to tell OG how wrong she was and that she comes off as too aggressive sometimes. But wait, has Shaunie ever called any of the other wild cassowaries on this show aggressive? Tami used to bully newbies all the time and Shaunie would stand off to the side with that smirk on her face. Or how about Evelyn, running across tables to fight people? Did Shaunie ever chastise any of them? Anyway, OG owns up to being wrong about revealing that information, which she is, but she said she’s backing off and plans to work on herself. The good news is that Jackie and Tami work things out but Tami still doesn’t like how everyone has been treating OG so she’s going to have a brunch where everyone can come and discuss. Because that’s going to go well.  Part of why Tami seems to have such a soft spot for OG is that she feels like OG is a target and that she can relate. In Tami’s mind, she has also been ganged up on and have had these women say mean things about her. Kind of true, but also kind of not. There have been mean things said about Tami by women she was beefing with at the moment, but no one ganged up on her (because they’re scared), and it’s not like Tami was ever innocent.  Anyway, Tami starts the talk. We get to a point where Kristen and OG are going back and forth, as expected.  Kristen says that OG felt the need to say what she said to be hurtful. That is true, but OG denies this. OG says she got the info from CeCe and Byron while at dinner with them and that Byron told her that people know this information (uh, yeah, close family) and that it would be totally fine if she ever had to pass that information on to anyone else.  Anyway, Kristen asks OG why she has a problem with her. OG says she doesn’t have a problem with Kristen but that Kristen has a problem with her , and now everyone is either like wtf or just looking at her all kinds of sideways (or both).  Neither Kristen nor OG is actually wrong. They respectively have a problem with each other. Anyway, Malaysia tells Cece that she felt that CeCe was talking trash about Kristen to OG so that OG would do what she did. CeCe denies this. Then Kristen asks CeCe how she would feel if Byon’s children didn’t show up to the wedding. CeCe says she doesn’t care. She only cares about Byron and this is the last time Kristen is going to see her. Yeah, this brunch wasn’t productive. So now Malaysia feels like she has to go to Byron himself.  Malaysia confronts Byon and tells him everything that happened. He said he did give that information to CeCe and OG, but it’s not like it’s a secret secret , even though only a few select people know. Malaysia asks if he told OG to run back and tell everyone, which is not quite what OG said he said, but mmmkay. Anyway, he denies this. He also says he knows CeCe isn’t innocent in this, but that she was tired of getting attacked, which is valid. Then she asks about his beef with Kristen. He repeats that he’s mad at Kristen for making him look like a bad grandfather and that’s why he said what he said. Lordt.  Messy. Boots.  Nothing gets resolved this episode so come back next week for more.  RELATED POSTS ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: OG Gets In The Middle Of CeCe And Kristen’s Drama ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Jennifer Uses Her Mother’s Death As A Crutch For Her Behavior

Whoopi Goldberg On How She Married Three Times For Wrong Reasons

See the article here:

Source: Brian Ach / Getty In a new interview with the New York Times , Whoopi Goldberg was asked about being unsuccessful in love and marriage . The 63-year-old comedic legend has been married three times over the years, including to Alvin Martin from 1973 to 1979, David Claessen from 1986 to 1988, and most recently, and her shortest union, Lyle Trachtenberg from 1994 to 1995. In the past (in 2016 specifically), she simply said she was no longer married because “I don’t want somebody in my house.” In this new interview though, she broke things down a bit further, saying she was exchanging vows with these men for the wrong reasons. She felt like that was what she was supposed to do, but when she was actually in the marriages, she found there were certain things about being in a relationship that she just didn’t feel comfortable with. Those things included having to check in with someone else. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). “Look, people expect you to have a boyfriend. They expect you to get married. So I kept trying to do that, but I didn’t want to share information with somebody else,” she said. “I didn’t want anybody asking me why I was doing what I was doing, or to have to make the other person feel better. But if you’re in a relationship, you have to do those things, and it took me a while to figure out that I didn’t want to. I’d be thinking, why don’t I feel the thing that I’m supposed to? Then one day I thought: I don’t have to do this. I don’t have to conform. I tried marriage, and it wasn’t for me. You can’t be in a marriage because everybody’s expecting you to.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!

They would rather be ill than do that,” she said. “That’s insane. You can’t let a little out? ‘No, I don’t want her to know that I do it.’ She knows you do it! But you can’t say to people, ‘You must let it go.’ So I say: ‘Listen, if you’re comfortable, let it happen.

Today (July 9), cannabis company Caliva announced it has named the Brooklyn multi-hyphenate its Chief Brand Strategist.

We want to create something amazing, have fun in the process, do good and bring people along the way.” Caliva is a cannabis consumer products company that was founded in 2015.

Armored Truck Spills Money On 285 In Atlanta, Mayhem Ensues [VIDEO]

Source: Marilyn Nieves / Getty Drivers who hit the morning commute on I-285 this morning didn’t expect to see money flying from the sky, but they sure did. Early Tuesday morning, an armored truck filled with money spilled from the back spewing dollars all over 285 Westbound near Ashford-Dunwoody Road. Commuters saw a quick come up, as they pull over in the shoulder to dive in the streets to get themselves a nice handful of cash. Police fortunately say there were no accidents, and most of the cars where gone even before officers arrived. I bet this makes you slow up a bit when you see an armored truck.

10 Cringeworthy Scenes From 90’s Flicks That Wouldn’t Hold Up In Today’s Climate

Go here to see the original:

Source: Universal Pictures / Handout / Getty Ask anyone born before 2000, and they’ll agree that the 90’s was such a special time for everyone. Television was booming with Black talent and filmmakers like Spike Lee and John Singleton weren’t afraid to tell the raw truth about the issues plaguing the African American communities. The entertainment industry also had the creative license to do and say whatever they wanted no matter what demographic they offended — hence the reason we have films like American Pie . I miss the old raunchy movies they had out back in my day, like Freddy Got fingered, Road Trip, American Pie movie. Bring the classics back! pic.twitter.com/e61L4Af4WV — B1GPAT (@B1G_PAT) June 30, 2019 Today marks the 20th anniversary of American Pie , the raunchy 1999 comedy that follows four teenage boys (played by Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Eddie Kaye Thomas) on a quest to lose their virginities before graduation. The movie was such a huge deal for young Americans when it hit theaters; but if watched by young adults today, they’d have a totally different reaction to some of those gruesome scenes. Like the scene when Jason Biggs’ character sets up his computer camera to record the foreign exchange student changing her clothes, without her consent. That’s a sexual crime lawsuit waiting to happen. With so many powerful, life changing movements shifting the climate today , (and a culture of people being offended by the smallest thing) there’s not much room to express oneself fully without offending someone. Obviously, we all need to be a bit more mindful of the content we put out, but hit the flip to check out scenes from films that just wouldn’t fly today.

Karlie Redd’s Rarely Seen Daughter Appeared On Love And Hip Hop Atlanta And She’s Her Mom’s Twin [VIDEO]

See the original post here:

Source: Jim Spellman / Getty Karlie Redd  may have been on  Love and Hip Hop Atlanta  since its inception in 2012, but it’s a rarity for fans to see her daughter, Jasmine. If you blinked, you may have missed Jasmine making her debut on the show back in 2015 where she spoke with her mother about the star’s relationship drama. Karlie also posted a photo of her daughter last January, but those types of images from the star are few and far between. Since then though, Karlie has kept her out of the spotlight, and Jasmine has also chosen to steer clear from it as well, making her Instagram private. However, on Monday, Karlie’s daughter came out of hiding to appear on the latest episode of  Love and Hip Hop Atlanta  to set folks straight for talking poorly about her mother. Fans of the show were giddy about her appearance because the rare sightings of Jasmine made her something like Bigfoot to LHHATL viewers, who get a glimpse at the rest of the cast’s kids on a regular basis. Text “RICKEY”to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). While we first met her as a fresh-faced beauty coming home from college to visit with her mom years ago, this time around, Jasmine is older, she’s working, wearing a full face of makeup, and these days, she’s looking exactly like her mother. Looking exactly like the star doesn’t always come with perks though, because she told Karlie that she was taking a break from school because people had been confronting her with rumors about her mom: When your mom is reality TV royalty, it doesn’t always come with its perks! #LHHATL pic.twitter.com/HDmWpArxrh — Love & Hip Hop (@loveandhiphop) July 9, 2019 In a later clip, which was quite melodramatic if we’re being honest, Karlie and Jasmine attend a mother-daughter event put on by Rasheeda Frost. While there, the women encounter Karlie’s former friend, Pooh, as well as her daughter. If you’ve been tuning in this season, you know Pooh has been running around telling everyone that Karlie participated in a threesome with her and her husband, Hiram, a story Karlie denies. Unfortunately, Karlie put her daughter in the middle of that situation by using the event as an opportunity to try and clear her name (wrong place, wrong time), and when Pooh tried to call her out, Jasmine let everyone know she was willing to go to war for her mom: It was a lot, obviously. Still, viewers were glad to see Jasmine had grown into such a beautiful young lady, a doppleganger for her mother, as well as a rider for her.
