Dear Bossip , We have been together for a little over a year, but his mother still doesn’t want to meet me. He had an ex of 5 years, and she became best friends with his mom. After they broke up, the ex still calls her, has lunch with her, goes out with her and invites her to trips. When we started seeing each other I asked him to meet his mother. So, he tried to set up lunch or dinner between the three of us so she could get to know me. But, she refused to go. She told him that the reason she didn’t want to meet me was because she did not approve of the fact that he was already dating and that he had not waited an appropriate length of time before seeing other people (according to her, he shouldn’t date for at least a year out of respect for the ex). She said he was hurting his ex for no reason by dating me. To sum up, she told him that she respected his choice (of dating me), but didn’t agree with what he was doing, so she wanted nothing to do with me. I let it go at that point, because things were getting tense and I didn’t want to meet someone who already hated me without even knowing me. To make things worse, she even told him not to bring me home without notice, either he comes alone or she won’t receive anyone in her house (Just to be clear, my boyfriend doesn’t live with her, since he split up with his ex he lives with his dad, so he visits his mother once over the weekend). It’s already been more than a year since we got together. And, his mother is still friends with the ex. They go to church together, have lunch, and his mother still invites him to join them for lunch (knowing we are together), but he refuses. He told me that, in the beginning, whenever he told her anything about me she snapped and didn’t want to listen to him, hear my name, or any comment regarding me. So, he couldn’t tell her anything about us, what we did, where we went or anything related to us. Recently, he’s told me that she isn’t reacting as badly as before. He gets to make comments that involve me without her snapping and yelling about how much of a horrible person I am. But, it only gets to be a very short conversation because she doesn’t show much interest. – What should I do? Should I just expect to never meet her? – His Mom Doesn’t Like Me Dear Ms. His Mom Doesn’t Like Me , His mother is never going to like you. And, instead of trying to win her over, and get her approval, just let it go that you will probably never meet her, and if you do she still will not like you or approve of your relationship. Therefore, as much as I understand you want to meet his mother, and you want to develop some type of relationship with her, be the bigger person, and don’t force the issue. Besides, she’s being silly and immature. And, why is she hanging out with his ex? They are going to church, having lunch dates, and going on trips together. Hell, maybe they are dating! And, in all honesty, I don’t see why you are in a relationship with him. He’s a momma’s boy. He’s a grown ass man still seeking his mother’s approval of his girlfriends. He is so busy trying to get her to like you that he is letting her run his life, and relationships. And, she is running your relationship. He can’t bring you to her home. She doesn’t want to have lunch or dinner with you. He can’t talk about you or your relationship with her because she gets upset and angry at the mention of your name. SHE IS DICTATING HIM AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP! Why are you with him? Another thing, how old are you and he? You sound like you’re teenagers. He lives with his father, and he’s still afraid of his mother? He ran from his mother’s house and to his father’s house? You’re dating someone who is dependent on his parents? He has no backbone to stand up to his mother, and he will never be man enough for you because he’s still a boy letting his mother tell him what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. How the hell can his mother fix her mouth to tell him that he is hurting his ex by dating you? HUH?!? And, then she said told him that he had not waited an appropriate amount of time before dating someone else! According to her he was supposed to wait at least a year. Girl, kick him and his momma to the curb. He isn’t a man. He’s a boy. He’s still wet behind the ears. His momma is deciding for him who he can and cannot date. She is hanging out with his ex with the hopes of getting them back together. She has too much say in his life, and she has way too much control over him. You don’t want to be in a relationship with someone and their mother is too much in their business, relationships, and life. You will find yourself competing with her for his time, love, attention, and affection. And, trust, he will always choose his mother. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is dating you just to spite his mother. I wouldn’t recommend you staying in this relationship. It is unhealthy, and creepy. What grown ass woman hangs out with her son’s ex going on lunch dates, church, and other outings? She has a serious problem, and you’ll be better off dumping him and not getting caught up in their weird relationship. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Lil Wayne Says He Is A Better Rapper Than Drake Apparently Meek Mill isn’t the only rapper who thinks he can take Drake. .. Wayne recently maintained that he is still nicer than Drizzy in an interview with Cari Champion. BET via Cari Champion’s Be Honest podcast: Drake came up when Champion asked Wayne about discovering the Canadian rapper. The YMCMB co-sign gave Drake “confidence” after getting “shunned by a lot of people,” he explained. He also encouraged Drizzy to stick to his signature sound. “I was the one to tell him: ‘Don’t change anything,’” Wayne continued. “Don’t think ‘cuz you coming over here by me you gotta start rapping about the things I rap about, don’t do none of that. Please rap about your little TV show, whatever you wanna rap about. Rap about girls…that’s what you’re good at.’” October’s Own took his advice to “keep it Canadian,” and it turned him into one of the biggest acts around. That doesn’t mean he’s better than his boss though. When asked who’s the better rapper Wayne replied with a laugh: “Man, I annihilate that guy.” Of course he maintained that there is no real beef here… But there has to be some level of realness to the jokes though, riiiiight? What do you think? Does Weezy have it over Drake — or nah?
K. Michelle is no stranger to the swirl, having been rumored to have dated idiot swimmer Ryan Lochte. But now the “Maybe I Should Call” singer is going full swirl, swearing off Black men in favor of “handsome Caucasian men” with “tight jeans and foreign accents.” In the wee hours of the morning, Kimberly hopped on Instagram and shared her revelation while throwing shade at talentless artists, twitter gangsters and “ugly girls who are losers.” After all these years im free! I’m ok with me. I danced and laughed so hard tonight. For some Strange reason I’ve been very accepting of me. I love me. Im different but I’m a good ass person. I love sunflowers, gummy bears, wild animals, and sorry I don’t listen to R&B music right now, it just bores me. I love rock, country, men who wear tight jeans and have foreign accents. I love me a handsome Caucasian man, I’m really not into black men right now. They can date outside their race , so can I!!! Where im from gangstas don’t tweet beef and I actually love the size of my azz. I believe hateful instagram comments are for ugly girls who are losers. I believe I’m not black or white but I’m actually a mermaid. I believe there is no talent required to be in the music industry. I believe the color of my skin shouldn’t determine the genre of my music! I believe it’s ok for me not to give a f**k anymore. I believe I’m supposed to motivate those I can. I believe In the power of a smile. She also gave up her rooted-in-roots secret to how she keeps “sex demons” away and offered her two cents on Rasheeda, her old manager suing her, and Iyanla Vanzant. Im proud to say that I’ve warned every urban gossip site to never post me again (balleralert) or I’ll post their addy, phone number, and picture. That’s only fair right? I Believe that pouring salt around the bed keeps the sex demons away. I really do Believe Rasheeda does rap like Shawty Lo. Just like she believed it was ok to call me liar about my abuse. Smh. I Believe I’m not crazy but everyone else around me is. I believe my old manager isn’t suing me for money but because his stomach is very heavy to carry around. He also doesn’t want me to tell he’s sleeping with his staff and his artist. Opps
Dear Bossip , I met a wonderful man 2 years ago. It took him about a year to convince me to date him. Even though I liked him I was a single mom in college and had just gotten out of a relationship and thought it best not to date for awhile. And, not to mention he was in a bad situation also. He was out of work, and living with his mom and sister. He has custody of his three kids and the mom is one of those who is only there when it is good for her or the public’s view of her. His devotion and our similarity in how to raise our children was one of the reasons I was attracted to him. So, I was his friend and gave moral support until he got on his feet. At that point we began dating. After a few months he asked me and my son to move in. Let me start off saying his kids are somewhat good kids, but they have a lot of issues, mostly from the abandonment of their mother in which she left to start a new family with her new husband. And, I really try to understand this and appreciate, sometimes, their lashing out at me because I know it is not really me they are lashing out at. But, here is my dilemma: I am a very strict mama. My son gets straight A’s and hardly gets in trouble at home or school because he knows I do not play. I will take everything away and I will stick to it for a long time if I have to. Before I moved in with this man he was like that to his children. But, now it’s like aliens have taken over his body. Case in point: Both of his boys get suspended – one for fighting, and the other for not listening to the bus driver. He did nothing. There were no phones taken away, no spanking, no games taken away, no grounding, not even a good talking too. Their mom even bought them a brand new game. One of the boys got suspended again the same week he went back. I put my foot down about respecting me and my son, but I realize these aren’t my kids and the choices they make do not affect me or how I raise my son. But, is so tiring to always come home to kids acting like they don’t have any sense and my son is looking at me like why can’t I get away with that. I love this man and the only problems we have is with his kids, especially when they disrespect me or my son and our material possessions. He does nothing. I have talked to him repeatedly about this and to no avail. This is a total 180 from what he was like when he was by himself with the kids. I know I have to figure out if this relationship is worth it. But my question to you, Terrance, is am I wrong for not wanting to deal with children that act like they have no sense, respect or appreciation? – Tired of Dealing With Bay-Bay’s Kids Dear Ms. Tired of Dealing With Bay-Bay’s Kids , To rectify this situation and problem of not having to deal with someone else’s children that act as if they don’t have no sense, respect, or appreciation of you or their father, then, you and your child move into your own home, and you visit your boyfriend. Therefore, you don’t have to live in a house with children who don’t respect their elders, are disruptive in school, and who will not influence your child to do what they are doing. And, you won’t have to deal with children who are probably upset about their parent’s separation/divorce, their mother abandoning them, and another woman being in their home whom they see as trying to replace their mother. I’m sure the kids are probably upset, and angry about their parent’s splitting up, especially since their mother is with a new man and has a new family. The boys are living with their father, which was probably a decision made by the parents, and the father felt it best the boys be with him. So, they are probably trying to understand what’s going on while dealing with their emotional and mental issues, which will explain them acting up in school, and being disrespectful to you. And, since you mentioned that the father doesn’t do anything to reprimand them, or even deal with their suspensions with any type of consequences, then, it leads me to believe that he probably feels guilty, or feels the need to let them act out because their mother is not there. And, he probably thought you would step in and help with the disciplining, or your moving in would not be as disruptive and the boys would take to another woman being in the home. Ultimately, the burden is on him. The burden of disciplining his children, and getting them into therapy to deal with their emotions and mentality is on him, and they need to be in therapy to talk about how they feel, especially with their mother not being in the home and starting another family. It doesn’t surprise me that they may feel abandoned. Their mother left them. They are probably asking themselves, why didn’t their mother take them with her? How could she start a new family and not include them? They probably do feel left out, and neglected. The father doesn’t know what to do and how to handle them. And, let’s not forget that when you met him he was living with his mother and sister, who are two women-figures in the boy’s lives that have been stable maternal figures. So, he had help. They boys were in a stable environment, and it was disrupted when he moved out and moved you in. Things are not going to change with the boys until their father steps up his discipline and repercussions for their behavior. He also needs to put them in therapy so they can express their emotions and how they are feeling about all of this happening. Until then, they will continue to act out and do what they are doing. He is going to have his hands full. And, no matter how much you talk, complain, and ask him to do something about it, he won’t because he feels guilty. Also, you are putting him in a position to choose between you and his boys. There is a fight happening between the boys and you. Both of you want his attention, his guidance, and his direction. He is trying to stay neutral, but this is only making the situation worse. Thus, I recommend that you and your son move into your own home, and you continue dating. He needs to get a handle on his own home before another woman comes into the picture, and he needs to work on his disciplinary skills with his children. Dating will you and he to figure out how if this is something you really want, and if you can blend your families. It will allow for time to pass, and for him to get a better handle on his home life, dealing with his boys, and making sure their environment is stable. Besides, it will also help to keep your sanity, and not have your children being influenced by their behavior. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Tori Spelling hasn’t been in the news much lately, so naturally, she felt the need to take matters into her own hands and do something about it. The last time we checked in on Tori, she had burned her hand on a grill at Benihana – not exactly the kind of story you want to be remembered for, should your career fall off a cliff tomorrow (which could happen at any time with Tori, if it hasn’t already.) So Tori decided to change the conversation without all the pesky work that comes with becoming a good actor and building a respectable resume: Yes, she posted a semi-topless selfie! Maybe this is a way of squashing the rumors about Tori expecting a fifth child . Or maybe she just wants to show that pilates pays off. There are numerous reasons why Tori would show a sudden interest in racy selfies, but the most likely explanation is that this is part of her campaign to renew the public’s interest in her private life in hopes of landing another reality show. Sources say Tori and Dean are completely broke , and neither of them have any real work on the horizon. Their latest Lifetime trainwreck was tough to watch, but it (sometimes) got decent ratings. We’re guessing the network is just waiting for Tori and Dean to get desperate enough to lower their asking price. Until then, you can watch True Tori online at TV Fanatic…if you must.

Back in February, Kylie Jenner bought her first home . Now, a 17-year-old buying a house anywhere in the world for any price is impressive, but Kylie picked up a $1.7 million mansion in the ritzy suburb of Calabasas, CA, and we’re guessing the whole thing is already paid off. So what’s Kylie gonna do with all those square feet? Set up a work out room? Storage area? Maybe a play space for her boyfriend’s son ? Gawd, you sound totally poor right now, hypothetical reader. You can do whatever lame stuff you want with your house, but Kylie’s ’bout dat walk-in shoe closet life: Yes, that’s where Kylie stores her shoes, and the really crazy part is that it’s probably not even big enough to house all of her Manolos, Louboutins, and other footwear so expensive, peasants like us haven’t even heard of it. How can Kylie afford all this? Well her family just got paid $100 million for four more seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians , but that’s not even Kylie main source of revenue these days. The girl has an astonishing 26 million Instagram followers, and they listen to her advice on how to drop their dollars, whether it’s on a detox tea she’s paid to endorse, or on her own line of brightly-colored hair extensions. Say what you will about the girl, but she’s found a way to make racy selfies pay off. View Slideshow: 49 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kylie Jenner
Dear Bossip , I am in a 9 month relationship with a separated man. They have been separated over 2 years. His wife is dating his best friend. My man has become more distant in the past couple of weeks saying he is busy and tired. I told him a couple weeks ago that I didn’t know if it was going to work because he is still married and I don’t feel like we can go anywhere because of the marriage. He said he loved me and I mean the world to him, and I’m his glue. He said that he did need to move on with his life and that he did need to -ish or get off the pot. I love him, but ever since I said I didn’t know if it was going to work because he’s still married it’s like he has distanced himself from me. I used to hear from him a couple times a day at least, but now I will wait a day and then call him because he isn’t initiating contact. He still says he loves me and misses me when we talk. What is going on? – Waiting On Him Dear Ms. Waiting On Him , You are not in a relationship. He is still married. Despite being separated from his wife for 2 years, he is still a married man. Therefore, you don’t have a relationship. You are sleeping with a married man. He is grieving the fact that his wife is dating his best friend. Trust me, he is not well emotionally or mentally. He is just going through the motions in his life. He discovers that his wife is dating his best friend, and you think he’s ready to be move on and be in another relationship? Sorry, but he’s not. I’m sure, no, I’m positive that he is hurting. His is sad, angry, mad, and depressed. Two people he trusted and loved are in a relationship with each other. He is living with the thought and idea on a day-to-day basis that his wife and best friend are laid up, living life, and planning a life without him. He is not okay. And, you’re absolutely right that it is not going to work between you and he because he is still married, probably still in love with his wife, and as a result you and he are not going to move forward or have anything serious. The fact that they have been separated for 2 years tells me that he is holding out and waiting for her to return. Don’t you find it odd that in 2 years he has not divorced his wife? His wife is sleeping with his best friend, and he hasn’t divorced her. Hmmm, wake up ma’am. Stop waiting on him, chasing after him, and stop forcing him to be with you. He does not want you. You are something to do in the meantime. You are someone to pass the time with. His body needs physical attention, but his mind and his emotions are with someone else – his wife. You feel he’s distancing himself from you and not reaching out or maintaining contact. Well, trust your intuition. If he is pulling away after you gave him an ultimatum it’s because he is pulling away. You were his glue because he probably had no one else he could talk with about his wife and his best friend. You were a shoulder to lean on, and someone to lay in bed with and vent. You were not someone he was serious about, but someone who happened to give him an ear when he needed someone to listen to him. I mean come on, honey, the man told you that he knows he should move on, but, hell, it’s been 2 years! He’s still harping about his wife and best friend after 2 years? He’s not ready to be with someone else. He’s still in love with his wife. He’s still waiting on her to return. You are only a distraction for a few minutes, hours, or days. But, he goes home and is reminded of his wife each time he is alone. He is reminded of his best friend when he wants to pick up the phone and go chill, watch the game, or simply to hang out. He is grieving. You need to move on. Find a man who is single, and one who is not pinning or still in love with an ex. This man is not for you. Wish him well and let him go. You are chasing after someone who doesn’t want to be held or in a relationship, well, not in a relationship with you. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Dove has done it again. The company – which previously brought us to tears by showing a military man reuniting with his family – has opened up our waterworks with a new, Father's Day-themed ad. This Dove's Men+Care campaign featured real-life footage of actual men just finding out that their partner is expecting. “Real strength means showing you care even from the very first moment,” reads a message at the end of the commercial. The entire video is chock full of awesome pregnancy announcements , and we dare you to watch it with a dry eye. “This Father's Day, our new Dove Men+Care film celebrates men from the very first moment they find out they are going to be a dad,” wrote Dove on its YouTube page, adding: “Why? Because we know that showing care is a sign of a man's real strength. Watch our film to see how care makes dad stronger. Then, share your advice with the #RealStrength.”
