‘LHHNYS8’ Recap: Mariahlynn Activates Angry Bird Mode On Dreamdoll

Originally posted here:

Source: Amanda Edwards / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop New York picks up with lames James R, who is still talking in third person btw, and Jaquae about to get fight. Security shuts that down immediately, but then DJ Self steps in and actually manages to squash their beef. In fact, Jaquae thanks James R. for “relieving him of his baggage” and the fact that he no longer has to buy her bags and all the expensive things she likes. Then Mariahlynn rolls in and shows off her new breasts. James R thinks her breasts look nice gives her the compliment. However, Mariahlynn starts going off about how disloyal he is and points out that Sophia isn’t even at his little party. Then she storms out in typical melodramatic fashion by knocking over an ice sculpture. via GIPHY Next. Rich calls a meeting with Anais, Navarro and Ashley to inform the latter two that they’re dating, and to try to iron out their business drama. It all goes left when Ashley starts going in on Rich Dollaz for seeing a married woman and generally being the King of Messy anyway. Rich is not here for it so he leaves. What’s really bothering Ashley is that she believes Navarro is cheating on her. She says he has been shady with his phone and consistently texting a specific woman and then deleting said messages. Navarro maintains that he’s not cheating. In his confessional he says that he’s actually planning a surprise spa day for her so he since she has been so stressed lately. Ashley, not knowing this, ends up storming out of their little meeting, but not before tossing water in his face. Later on, we find Navarro and Ashley arguing some more. Ashley thinks his shady behavior is proof that he has been cheating, Navarro is still denying this but not revealing his plan. Then when things get really tense, Ashely reveals that she’s pregnant. Navarro leaves, but wishes they were on better terms. It’s obvious that their professional and personal relationship is crumbling at the worst time. via GIPHY Speaking of receipts, Jonathan confronts Trent again in a more controlled session (no ambushing this time), with actual proof of Trent’s infidelity (because he has been catfishing). Trent turns the tables with his own proof of Jonathan’s shady behavior. He pulls out Jonathan’s marriage license. via GIPHY Jonathan goes off and demands to know where he found it. Trent says Jonathan is addicted to getting married and also says that he’s not even ready to really be serious anyway. Long story short, Jonathan married his “best friend” two years ago. They realized it was a mistake, but Jonathan is in NYC, his “best friend” is in LA and it’s hard to get a divorce when you’re on separate coasts, so they’re separated but not divorced. In short, they’re not on the same page and finally call it quits before the episode is over. Womp womp. lames James R links up with Sophia Body and wants to know why she wasn’t at his single release party supporting him. She’s already over being treated like a trophy. James thinks she should be honored to be his queen. via GIPHY She reveals that she didn’t show up because she wasn’t trying to have James having these expectations of her since she’s not even feeling him like that and feels like she made a mistake by kissing him and that she still has feelings for Jaquae. James R, being butthurt, then tells Sophia that Jaquae called her baggage. Then Sophia gets mad at James because she feels like he didn’t have her back in that situation, so she storms out, but not before throwing a glass at him– Love and Hip-Hop -style. via GIPHY DJ Self is not happy with Mariahlynn’s grind. He tells her that she’s not hustling hard enough as a Gwinnin artist (he thinks Dreamdoll grinds harder), that her temper is too much and that she needs to stop beefing with people and work harder. On the flipside, Mariahlynn thinks no one works harder than her and that DJ Self is the one who has been slacking with her because he’s giving Dreamdoll more attention. The convo ends amicably for now. Later on, DJ Self asks Dreamdoll to give Mariahlynn a pep talk about working harder. Dreamdoll agrees “in the name of sisterhood and the Gwinnin team,” but that fake sentiment goes south when she finds out that her man, Safaree, plans to work with Mariahlynn.” Lordt. Now we’re at the part where Yandy and Remy pop up at Juju’s house because she has been MIA lately. The tea, that we already know by now (thanks to #TheBlogs), is that Juju and Cam’ron broke up. This was a 10-year relationship and she’s hurting. Yandy and Remy are supportive, offer her words of encouragement, and understand that she needs time to heal. via GIPHY via GIPHY The episode concludes with Dreamdoll meeting up with Mariahlynn. This goes all the way south. Remember, Dreamdoll and Mariahlynn lowkey have beef because their friends (Bianca and Bri) are beefing, so they have a hostile exchange about that. Then Dreamdoll says DJ Self wanted her to talk to Mariahlynn because she’s going to flop then calls her a bum b—h who never gets booked. They start going in on each other until Dreamdoll crosses the line again by insulting Mariahlynn’s mother and that’s when Mariahlynn taps into her inner angry cassowary , runs across a picnic table and tries to pop off. However, security grabs them up before they throw hands, but this is far from over, especially after Mariahlynn threatens to take Safaree from Dreamdoll. Mmmmkay. This is far from over, especially when Dreamdoll rolls up on Safaree breathing on chatting with Mariahlynn in next week’s episode.

Jenelle Evans: Ditching David Eason For Courtland Rogers?!

Rumors that Jenelle Evans and David Eason are headed for divorce have been circulating for several weeks now. The couple insists all is well, but the fact that David recently changed his relationship status on Facebook before deleting his account entirely suggests something is amiss. Now, new information has emerged regarding exactly what may have caused the Easons' latest squabble. And it seems Jenelle's most troubled ex may have played a role in the drama…   1. Trouble In Paradise? Earlier this week, some bizarre social media activity sparked a new round of rumors about a rough patch in Jenelle and David’s marriage. Jenelle attempted in vain to squash the speculation. 2. “It’s Complicated” Late at night, while Jenelle was sleeping, David changed his relationship status to “It’s complicated.” He later deleted his Facebook account altogether. 3. Jenelle Explains Evans assured fans that all is well … and also invited them to mind their own damn business. “I’d appreciate it if you’d stop assuming sh-t,” she wrote. 4. Mrs. Eason Has a Way With Words In one of the most bizarre interviews of her career, Jenelle explained the situation thusly: “If I have sex with my husband, it’s my business. If I go skydiving with my husband, it’s my business. If I want to sh-t on my husband’s hand, it’s my business.” Well, okay then… 5. The Ex Files Fans are speculating that David got upset following a recent TM2 special that focused on Jenelle’s past relationships. Rumor has it, Eason was not happy about the glowing terms Jenelle used to describe some of her exes. 6. Jenelle and Courtland Long before she met David, Jenelle was married to Courtland Rogers, a self-destructive addict who eventually wound up behind bars. Courtland was released from prison earlier this year, and some believe he’s found his way back into Jenelle’s heart… View Slideshow

Alec Baldwin Admits to "Bullying" Women, Engaging In "Sexist" Behavior

Over the past several weeks, a number of Hollywood’s most powerful men have been exposed as serial sexual predators. The string of scandals began with accusations against Harvey Weinstein that would eventually bring an end to one of the industry’s most esteemed film studios. In the month that followed, allegations against Kevin Spacey , Jeremy Piven, Brett Ratner, Ben Affleck and many more pulled back the curtain on a culture of abuse and misogyny in the movie industry. Most of the accused have feigned shock or issued timid confessions in the wake of being called out for their behavior. Now, actor Alec Baldwin–himself no stranger to allegations of abusive behavior–is attempting to change how Hollywood addresses its ongoing misogyny issues by admitting to mistreating women before he becomes the subject of another scandal. “I certainly have treated women in a very sexist way. I’ve bullied women. I’ve overlooked women. I’ve underestimated women,” Baldwin told Tonight Show announcer Steve Higgins at a Paley Center event on Thursday night. “Not as a rule, [but] from time to time, I’ve done what a lot of men do, which is … when you don’t treat women the same way you treat men.” Baldwin added: “I’m from a generation where you really don’t, and I’d like that to change. I really would like that to change.” Though he’s taken some flak for attributing his behavior to his age, Baldwin has mostly been applauded for his comments. “I think it’s important for us to try to make the workplace and beyond not only comfortable and right and fair and appropriate, but as productive as well,” he explained. “A lot of what we’re dealing with within this issue is hurting our business. It’s making it less productive.” A father of four, Baldwin was widely castigated for an abusive voicemail he left for daughter Ireland in 2007 when she was just 11 years old. Asked if he was aware of abusive behavior from  “I knew of certain things, that there were rumors of things happening to people, but I didn’t necessarily know the scope, when you hear the hundreds and hundreds of women who are complaining about this… It’s been a very eye-opening experience for me personally,” Baldwin said last night. “We’ve got to be vigilant in a new way to make sure that everybody is comfortable and that we get the job done together that we’re there to do.” Baldwin did not go into detail about the more shameful behavior of his past, but says that going forward, he will be more conscientious in his interactions with female colleagues.

Weinstein Effect: Former Child Star Corey Feldman Has $10 Million Plan To Expose Pedophilic Hollyweird Execs

HOLLYWOOD, CA – SEPTEMBER 05: Actor Corey Feldman arrives at the premiere of ‘It’ at TCL Chinese Theatre on September 5, 2017 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) Corey Feldman Raising Money To Expose Pedophilic Hollyweird Bosses Former child star Corey Feldman has spoken about dealing with nasty, creepy pedophiles during his film career and now he says he’s ready to name names. The 46-year-old is asking for help however, to get those names up on the big screen. In a video, Cory explains that his life has been threatened but it won’t stop him from doing what he needs to do to get these alleged pedophiles out of the business. Feldman is raising $10 Million to turn this truth telling moment in a proper movie. People have long awaited a response from Corey as to what exactly happened in his childhood alongside best friend Corey Haim. In his book, Coreyography, Corey describes what happened but it isn’t clear who exactly the predators are. The best way, he feels, in order to tell the whole story, is for Corey to come forward in the form of a film about his life. We are embarking on a dangerous and exciting journey to get to the bottom of the truth. However in doing so there are great security risks. Are you interested in Corey’s forthcoming movie exposing these alleged production studio ran by perverts?

Paris Jackson: Sideboob Tattoo Revealed in Tree-Hugging Pic!

Whether she’s using her modeling work to promote body positivity or just showing off her new tattoos , Paris Jackson isn’t shy about sharing topless pictures. In her latest photo, the 19-year-old actress and model proves that she’s a tree-hugger by literally hugging a tree. And, in her shirtless state, she’s giving her fans a look at a tattoo that, well, you don’t normally get to see. And that’s not the only pic from her topless adventures in the great outdoors. Don’t let us give you the impression that Paris Jackson never wears clothes. She totally does. Just recently, she wore a shirt while outside and enjoying some flowers , though the neckline was enough to give a good view of her new chakra tattoo, which runs down her sternum. She also works, as a model but also as an actress (her first feature film comes out next year!). She also goes places and is a real person. But she, and clearly some friends and loved ones who spend time around her, is totally chill hanging out in modes of dress that Instagram and maybe some prudish folks would find scandalous. Honestly, good for her. More people should be comfortable with appropriate, non-threatening nudity. That doesn’t mean that folks like Harvey Weinstein can undress in front of coworkers , mind you. Consensual, non-sexual, non-aggressive nudity can be a wholesome thing. And it can give us a look at more of Paris’ many, many tattoos. Paris captioned this photo with the numeral, 1, enclosed within a box. Are we to get the impression that this is the first of what will eventually be a sequence of photos? We just don’t know. What we do know is that, one, this is a wholesome photo. Actually hugging trees can be therapeutic for some people (no joke); sometimes pregnant folks who are past their due dates hug trees to create just a little more pressure in the hopes of inducing labor. Two, Paris is giving fans a rare glimpse of her sideboob tattoo. There aren’t a lot of ways of naturally hiding a nipple to show off a tattoo. You’d need to, what, cover up your nip nop with the hand from the other side of your body, all while having a friend photograph you in the awkward pose? Or you can just hug a tree from the right angle. We love that the actual tattoo is of a little alien dude. She’s such a treat. But her adventures in the great outdoors weren’t done. Paris Jackson captioned this photo: “Use mamas mud to wash off da filthy makeup from werkk.” Actresses and models generally wear a ton of makeup. We can’t speak to the efficacy (or safety) of using wild mud to remove makeup, but we know that people have used mud and clay to treat their skin for ages. But it’s certainly a natural remedy. No debating that. In fact, in that tree-hugging photo, it kind of looks like Paris’ arms might have a little mud residue on them, right? Also, we have no idea what — if anything — Paris was wearing under that wrap around her waist. But that’s her business. Paris has spent a lot of time topless in the desert, so it’s good to know that she’s also comfortable being a little less dressed in a less extreme environment. For Paris, there’s always a strong spiritual element to her nudity that you don’t always get from the #FreeTheNipple folks. It’s not just about being progressive or about gender equality or whatever — it’s about being natural and following her life path. Good for her, you know?

Kylie Jenner Hires Pregnancy Coach ‘Cause That’s a Thing

It’s no secret that Kylie Jenner is pregnant with Travis Scott’s baby, even though Kylie still hasn’t confirmed it and instead elects to tease her fans by hiding her baby bump . And, hey, that’s her right. But she should understand that everyone still wants to know how things are coming along for her. Well, color us all surprised to learn that Kylie reportedly hired a pregnancy coach. Reports of Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy caused quite a shock. Not only because the news came as a surprise — though it absolutely was. If the reports hadn’t come from multiple, reliable sources we would have talked about the story briefly and then dismissed it. Because she’s only 20. Because she’s famous and extremely wealthy and most people in that position are just too careful (as they, with their means, can afford to be) to become young mothers before they’re legally allowed to drink. But the other shocking thing about Kylie’s pregnancy is that the baby daddy, Travis Scott, would have only been dating her for, what? One month? When he knocked her up, we mean. We’ve having trouble getting past this, because Kylie had been dating Tyga off and on for a couple of years — since she was a minor. And then, after a month of dating, she gets pregnant with the rebound guy. ( Tyga has claimed that he’s the baby daddy , but the math on that doesn’t really seem to add up) As wonderful for Kylie’s unborn child as it will be to have a father who has publicly rated Kylie’s skills in bed with that child-to-be’s aunt Kendall’s, you’d think that Kylie’s first baby would be with a guy whom she, you know, genuinely knew as a person. Regardless, she’s pregnant now. And it looks like she’s at least taking the pregnancy thing seriously. RadarOnline  reports that  Kylie Jenner hired a pregnancy coach , even though she has an extended family of experienced mothers and isn’t due until next year. “Kylie hired a pregnancy coach too, who will help her with nutrition and exercise, as well as take her through Lamaze training when she gets further along,” their source tells them. Lamaze is a, like, 60-year-old technique of breathing in order to cope with labor pains. (Fun fact: the best way to cope with labor pains is an epidural! But yes, breathing is good in addition to the epidural) “Kylie is definitely not taking any chances when it comes to her unborn baby!” That’s very good to hear. Kylie, as we’ve noted, has a wonderful and loving bond with her dogs, so it is our suspicion (and hope) that this will translate into some great maternal instincts. She has also reportedly hired four new assistants to help run her business — remember,  Kylie Lip Kits are a big business  and have made her a makeup mogul practically overnight. (In fact, Kylie Cosmetics is projected to become a billion-dollar beauty brand by 2022. It will be interesting to see whether Kylie’s pregnancy and impending motherhood hastens that climb … or slows it) Some might say that hiring this guy already is excessive, and they might be right. But you know what?  Kylie has basically unlimited resources that she can spend however she likes. And if she wants to overprepare — if that’s even possible — for motherhood, we say that that is immeasurably better than being underprepared.

Changed Man? Ray J Regrets ‘Tweaking’ On ‘The Breakfast Club,’ ‘L&HH’

Read the rest here:

Source: Paul Archuleta / Getty Ray J  has always been a wild boy. But according to his new interview with Complex’s Everyday Struggle  on Thursday (September 28), he seems to have upgraded to a grown man mindset. Ray responded calmly to Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks’ questions about his infamous “money team” interview on The Breakfast Club back in 2011, taking full responsibility for his actions and admitting that he spent months “under a rock” out of embarassment. When asked what caused him to call in to threaten Fabolous, he simply said: “I was tweaking… I was moving the wrong may and I made a mistake. It was Vegas. It’s like  Hangover 4. ‘ Ray also expressed regret about his behavior on the first two seasons of VH1’s Love & Hip Hop , but said he has no plans to leave the show now that he’s happily married and above the drama. He said: “It was just uncalled for. Certain things I did, I was just ashamed of myself. It was good to watch it back, cause I was like, ‘Wow, that does not look good. It’s not cool. And it helped me kind of curve that uncool savagery.” When asked how long he’s keep doing the show, he said, “However long VH1 want me, I’m on auto pilot… I got my tech company. (That’s) what’s the most imporantat. The tech is so brand new and fresh. I got shit that’s coming out that people won’t understand for another five years.” Here’s more about his tech start-up, Raytroniks . Watch the full interview for Ray’s thoughts on friend  Chris Brown’ s ups and downs – “I think he’s one of the most hardest-working people in the business and that outweighs everything besides family” – as well as why he’s completely over any perceived beef with Kanye West  (“no more diss songs.”) Ray also revealed that the secret to how he’s been staying out of trouble: By turning down the “checks for the fuckery.” “Fuck that money,” Ray said of his past life in the fast lane, though, he did admit that it was hard to walk away from. Still, he insists he’s completely faithful to his new wife, Princess , and is “ready to move to the next phase in life.” In his own words: “At some point I had to switch it up. I couldn’t keep going. I just changed cause it was time. It was no time to keep digging myself into a whole that had no exit on the other side.”
