Jamaican dancehall star Spice had a booming fan base before her days on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. But since joining the show, her stock has gone up tremendously, and now everyone is checking for the Kingston Queen. Spice stopped by to clear up some of the most hilariously vicious headlines BOSSIP has written about her, including her faux skin bleaching moment and the time she dragged co-star Tommie “by her mugshots “. Check it out in the video above.

Showrunner Lee Daniels spent most the night live-tweeting the show’s highlights…except for the parts that included Jussie. One of those parts was the episode’s intro where Jamal Lyon is seen playing the piano and performing a song with some very art-imitates-life lyrics according to ETOnline . The questionable-in-retrospect lyrics include, “All the shine I left behind/Now I’m here, to my surprise,” and “Was it worth the sacrifice?/’Cause being here is all a lie,” as well as, “Oh, it’s a shame, ’cause now I finally/Found a place that’s all mine… Another place that’s gone.” After the show, Daniels took to Instagram to post a video updating fans on the status of the cast and crew as numerous reports have surfaced about tension, anxiety, and frustration with Jussie’s case and the future of the production. Let Taraji P. Henson tell it recently, everything on set is grrrrrreat… Taraji P.

View this post on Instagram I was so in my feelings last week that I forgot to post about @empirefox & @staronfox …. I guess y’all know why … anyway I’m back and I’m finally ok!!!! A post shared by Lee Daniels (@theoriginalbigdaddy) on Mar 20, 2019 at 1:21pm PDT Sounds like the future of Empire is still hanging in the balance. Do you think the show can continue without Jussie?

Psyche Terry founded Urban Hydration with her husband, Vontoba, after suffering from skin ailments for years. The result is a line of plant-based skin and hair care products, like an aloe vera gel mask and coconut oil shampoo and conditioner – that is in some 9,000 stores nationwide. “We’ve been very intentional with our ingredients,” Terry said. “if you’re struggling with any disease, you can feel safe using it or with your children or on a pet.” Source: Courtesy of Psyche Terry/Urban Hydration / Courtesy of Psyche Terry and Urban Hydration But Terry said Urban Hydration’s goal is not just to create beautiful hair and skin, but to also give back to people in need. Last year, the company donated 16 percent of its revenues to charity, Terry said. In 2017, the company partnered with nonprofit WATERisLIFE, and a portion of the proceeds from every product sold provides a gallon of water to families in need. The company has financed two wells in Kenya and is now helping to build a third in the Congo. Urban Hydration also awards a college scholarship annually and supports a school for the blind. “We have a heart for serving, and we’ll see where that takes us,” Terry said. “We just want to work as hard as we can so that more people can see that it doesn’t really matter where you come from or how much you have, you can give back. it’s our hope to grow that message.”

The ‘Ray Donovan’ star will not face any jail time for his October 2018 DUI which lead to him totalling his car while his baby was in the back seat. TMZ Reports: “Hall struck a deal with prosecutors. He entered a no contest plea to misdemeanor DUI and to child endangerment. For the DUI his sentence is 3 years probation and a 3-month alcohol program.” You may recall that an eyewitness saw Hall driving with his toddler in his lap while driving before the accident. When cops pulled him over, he blew a .25, more than 3 times the legal limit. As for the felony child abuse charge he received for putting his baby in danger during the incident, Hall has to complete a one-year parenting class for that charge to be dismissed. Whew. Things could’ve gone much worse for you, Pooch.

U.S. Magistrate Gabriel Gorenstein let Okoumou slide on jail time and opted instead to give her 200 hours of community service and 5 years of probation. Okoumou was facing 18 months in prison if she was found guilty but she didn’t let her conviction for trespass, disorderly conduct and interfering with governmental administration stop her from protesting against injustice. Following that arrest, Patricia participated in a protest climb of the Eiffel Tower and a climb of a headquarters that housed detained kids. Instead of revoking her bail for the Austin incident, the judge showed leniency and remanded her to home detention with an ankle monitor. Free the good sis!
Source: Bravo / Getty Nene Stealing Eva’s Shine? This week’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta was supposed to be all about Eva. It was her marriage, her glorious moment with her boo and his tremendous vows . However, so much of the episode was focused on Nene and her problems with her marriage. She was complaining and said about her seemingly impending divorce from Gregg. However, just yesterday she denied that there was any divorce happening at all. So was this all for attention? Was this all for ratings? Bravo is catching a ton of flack as well for their part in the whole situation as they were splicing images of Nene’s wedding with Eva’s, making the episode as much about Nene as the woman of the hour. Word? So who is to blame? Wait Eva’s wedding wasn’t the season finale and she had to share her spotlight with Nene’s drama… #RHOA pic.twitter.com/XVwDVv4DhD — Epiphany (@MyEpiphanyB) March 18, 2019 Twitter is dragging everyone and it’s petty as hell. Take a look.
Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Nick Young Reveals That He’s Got Another Baby On The Way On Monday night, former Warriors player Nick Young announced that he’s expecting his third child with his longtime girlfriend Keonna Green. “Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol,” the baller tweeted out. Young has indeed had more time to spend with his family recently after the Denver Nuggets waived the point guard after just four games back in December. Num 3 is on the way … I knew being at home this would happen lol — Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung) March 19, 2019 Nick and Keonna have been in an on-and-off relationship since their high school days and already have two children together, six-month-old Navi Young and Nick Young Jr, who just turned seven. Keonna talked about her relationship with Nick in an interview with Essence , saying, “Me and Nick have lots of history. We’ve been in and out of each other’s lives and we’ve dated other people, we have still always managed to keep in touch. It’s something that no one will be able to understand. We don’t even really understand. We’re just like, ‘You know what, we have these kids. You know, we are friends.’ We share each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. We talk a lot. We have that type of friendship.” The announcement of baby number three came as a surprise to many fans, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the plans all along. The couple revealed earlier in the month that they wanted another child when their family attended the premier of Captain Marvel and Nick said he wanted “one more.” Congrats to the happy family on their new addition!
