As it enters its eighth season, Vanderpump Rules is beginning to reach the point where most reality shows begin to show signs of age. Producers have tried to combat this phenomenon by experimenting with new cast members, but thus far, the new additions haven’t fared well — and now, it seems another one has officially bitten the dust. According to a new report from Radar Online, SUR hostess Billie Lee has decided to leave her station after just two seasons on VPR. An insider tells Radar that Billie “quit filming for the upcoming season 8″ this week. Since the show is currently filming, we can assume this was an abrupt decision. And the insider’s comments seem to confirm that Lee quit as a result of hostility on set. “Billie Lee has had a really hard time with the disrespect and negative thoughts overall from the show and from certain co-stars,” the source explains. “She is sick of the bullies and the backlash that she’s gotten on social media.” The insider adds that Lee hopes this will be the beginning of a new stage in her career, adding: “She is ready to do her own thing now, and is trying to pitch her own show. She doesn’t need any of that drama anymore.” Billie represented an attempt to bring a little diversity to the mayo-white series as the show’s first transgender cast member. But she clashed with co-stars from the very start, most notably Katie Maloney and Lala Kent. While the Vanderpump cast may not have conducted themselves with the utmost decorum in their dealings with Billie Lee, they’re pretty much a-holes to everyone, including each other, and they have a pretty good track record with regard to the LGBTQ community (albeit not in terms of representation). All of this is to say it seems like a leap to chalk the tension with Billie up to transphobia, which is what many viewers are currently doing on social media. It’s worth noting that the reason Billie fit with the cast so well at the beginning is that she has quite a lengthy track record of unstable behavior herself. Highlights include lashing out at Stassi Schroeder when Schroeder went public with allegations of sexual misconduct against Jeremy Madix and accusing her co-workers of bigotry for failing to personally invite her to a party. “When yo (sic) co-workers don’t include the only trans girl in GIRLS night at your own job! On the night you work! #rudeAF #TransIsBeautiful,” But if it’s the night you work … why would they need to invite you to a party at your place of employment? Anyway, Billie Lee joins Vail Bloom , Whoever Scheana Is F–king This Season, and James Kennedy on the list of failed new additions to the Vanderpump cast. We know James is still on the show, but we’re pretty sure he’s the only one who considers that a good thing. Jokes aside, we wish Billie Lee all the best in her future endeavors — although it sounds like she’s always got a job waiting for her at SUR should she change her mind. “Lisa has encouraged Billie to stay and to keep growing. Lisa is so proud of her and what she stands for,” the insider says. “She is always welcome back on Vanderpump Rules .” View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs
Source: Nagina Lane / iONEDigital Mya has given us female anthems like Best Of Me, Case Of The Ex and My Love Is Like Wo but the 39-year-old songstress and dancer admits, she spent more time focusing on her career than building friendships with other women. After dropping nine independent projects, Mya is ready to let her hair down and enjoy the fruits of her labor alongside Lil Kim, Chilli, B Simone and Pretty Vee as they embark on the girls trip of a lifetime when they set sail on a luxury yacht in the Caribbean. And when we say luxury, we mean Kim, who put the trip together, puts the luxe in LUXURY. “You have to take your shoes off before you walk on the boat,” Mya explained. “You have to walk around with slippers or bare foot because it’s just that immaculate and expensive. Nothing average is present on the boat. The staff is amazing and available 24 hours. Whatever dietary restrictions, they are there to accommodate your every need. It’s a spoiled situation. Kim does everything over-the-top. There’s nothing basic about this. It’s just fabulous. We’re all in awe.” Girls Cruise aired Monday night on VH1 and gave us a glimpse at Mya’s laid back personality. But it’s clear she knows how to have a good time. “I haven’t really been on a platform to showcase who I am as a person and then amongst other women with differences and adversity. I think it’s the whole package of who Mya is in different scenarios. There’s adventure, there’s guys, there’s eye candy, there’s a lot of things in the Caribbean. There are a lot of dynamics that happen on the cruise with disagreements and differences and how we handle them as women. I think the audience is going to take a lot from that.” Mya gained several new girlfriend’s while on the 10-day trip including comediennes Pretty Vee and B Simone, who she called the second most fabulous on the trip. “As an entertainer, I was entertained, I got some abs laughing so hard. They are on all the time.” “I’m glad I did it because I have new friendships and bonds with other women, which is something I feel like I lacked in this business for years because you just go, go and go.” Catch Girls Cruise every Monday on VH1 RELATED STORIES: Mya Admits To Sexting, But Doesn’t Send Nudes LET’S MAKEUP: Mya Shares What’s In Her Bag

In a lengthy IG post this past Friday she promised to roast all those who wanted to see her fail in her career. Complex is reporting that in a now caption-less post, Nicki took the time to big herself up for getting this far in her career and showed love to others who’ve helped her along the way saying, “12 years ago I dropped my 1st mixtape. Wrote every single word on every single song. I was so proud of that,” she wrote. “Eventually the Barbz were all wearing pink hair, Chinese bangs, & Barbie chains. Colorful wigs came all the way back in style. Everyone became Barbies & Dolls.” “I always shouted out my influences in my interviews,” she continued. “Now a days, it’s become cool to pretend u weren’t influenced by other artists. S/O to the ones big enough to do it: Kash, Asian, Cuban, Saweetie, Meg, Malibu, YOUNG MA, Ms. Banks, Lady Leshurr, etc. No female rapper (other than Trina) did a song w/me or congratulated me on my billboard accomplishments. I didn’t mind. I never felt they were obligated to do so.” But she didn’t stop there as she went on to take aim at the naysayers and haters who’ve taken shots at her along the way, promising to expose them in due time. “Y’all are rlly sick & ima call y’all out one by one on Queen Radio.

As much of a horse face, now an aged horse face as Sarah Jessica Parker, the busty woman on a tiny frame who married a homosexual…..is…..

Source: Kevin Winter / Getty When I first came across Chris Brown’s lyrics about “nice hair” on his latest too-damn-long album Indigo , I refused to get mad. I was tired of self inflicting pain on myself over the fact I do not have what society has deemed “good hair.” I shamed myself for forgiving him after he pummeled Rihanna’s face and questioned how a comment about hair would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I forgave Chris in the past because of youthful ignorance. Because, back then, I couldn’t decipher the language of domestic abuse. Then I experienced it and understood that what occurred between Rihanna and Chris wasn’t a mutual fight, it was abuse. But with her forgiveness of the troubled singer, I too forgave him and started listening to his music again. Incident after incident, I forgave Chris Brown. After all, I’ve been a Chris Brown fan since the beginning *cue throwback photo of me and Chris at the Scream Tour after party* But a las, Chris Brown doesn’t disappoint (only if you count the fact that he consistently disappoints), and is at the center of controversy again with his admission, “Only wanna f**k the black b**ches with the nice hair.” But Chris Brown, in typical Chris Brown fashion, doesn’t see the problem…or he does and rather fuel flames by jumping on the defense and dare the women who are offended by his comments to post a photo of themselves, because he assumes we’re all ugly with skid row edges. “Weird ass angry people,” he wrote in response to a comment about his lyrics on Instagram. “Sincerely, from the bottom of my balls…I DON’T GIVE A F**K BOUT YALL NEGATIVE BOOTYFACE A** B*TCHES…IM START GIVING AWAY FREE LACE-FRONTS FOR ALL YOU WIERD (sic) FEMALES WIT THE SKID ROW EDGES AND LOW SELF ESTEEM. ASIDE FROM THAT…HOP OFF THESE NUTTS.” And if that wasn’t insulting enough, he took a step further for the visually impaired, “Half y’all look like BUDWEISER FROGS. SO PLEASE DON’T COME WIT DA BULLS**T. I WILL FIRE DAT A** UP AND ROAST THE HELL OUT OF YOU OVERLY SENSITIVE DUCKHEAD A** WIERDOS.” As I continue to grow as a woman and my understanding of beauty standards reaches profound depths, his latest stunt is shameful. Especially when much of his fan base is Black women without “good hair” who forgave him. This latest stunt exposes the Black men who use and abuse Black women to only abandon them in the long run. Brown has built his career on the backs of Black women’s support. From his mother to Rihanna to the little girl (me) who camped out to get her CD signed. We spent our hard earned dollars on his product to only be told we’re ugly Becke we don’t fit with his Fine China. The “good hair” conversation is old and tired like Chris Brown’s drug-fueled antics, but unfortunately, it’s a reality whether people like to acknowledge it or not. And most of the time, we rather not acknowledge it because for those who don’t fit into the category (myself included) it’s painful. And for that very reason, I decided I was going to cut off my emotions and tap out of the “good hair” convo to spare what sanity I had left after a week of social media buffoonery. Yet, here I am. But where there’s a “good hair” fire, there’s colorism smoke and a plethora of misguided “pick me” women and men who think 4c girls are just in our feelings or that Chris Brown or any other colorist’s comments don’t apply to them. To men, it’s just “preference.” I t is absolutely OK to be attracted to to different people for your specific reasons. However, when the basis of your preference is rooted in beauty standards defined by European features, you are no longer in the land of preference, but tap dancing on the plantation. The closer to White, the closer to right. And given Chris Brown’s dating history (Karrueche and Karrueche 2), he clearly has a type. And that type doesn’t include 4c or dark skin women . Outspoke Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Tokyo Vanity exposed Brown on Instagram accusing the singer of discriminating against dark skin women. “When we was in the club in Miami and in the club in LA, b*tch in your section your rules was ‘No darkies.’ In response to Tokyo calling him out, he posted her bare face on Instastories, with the caption “Damn U fine Babygirl, let me take you to dinner.” When are these entertainers going to get it? And learn that alienating your core audience is career suicide. Brown was barely dancing in the good graces of women post-Rihanna now another assault on us because Black women are clearly dispensable. And if we continue to perpetuate these beauty standards created by our oppressors, we will not grow as a community to a place where colorism is just a conversation versus an overwhelming feeling of not being good enough for even our own people. Do better Chris Brown. RELATED STORIES: Chris Brown Arrested For Felony Assault Warrant After Florida Concert Chris Brown Slammed With A Restraining Order From Another Woman

Pierre-Louis began modeling after exploring acting. “I just really like to act I don’t know if it’s a trauma thing,” she jokes. The things she endured as a child and young adult that required the soothing effect the practice has on her were no joking matter. She reported physical and emotional abuse allegedly taking place in her household. She said these events were part of what encouraged her to step up and take a bigger role in her siblings’ lives. This choice affected her relationship with her brother. “He didn’t like someone who was only four years older than him acting like a mom,” she shared.

She refuses to compromise her identity to get gigs. She proudly displays a rainbow flag in her bio along with tongue-in-cheek visually references to her sexuality via strategically selected emojis. She described the “moral dilemma,” of capitalism and stated that while like other working models she is in no position to turn down jobs but she would absolutely draw the line at working with a “morally bankrupt” company.

She saw acting as a way to explore all the different sides of herself, but she was forced to draw the line there as well. “I just always like to do make believe as a kid it made me feel like I could express myself by being all these different people because I would say I’m multifaceted.” Sadly, the roles offered to the young aspiring actress who saw herself “Al Pacino but a Black woman,” were not multifaceted. View this post on Instagram I genuinely remember when I used to be soo terrified to wear anything remotely flattering especially with me being “so developed” at a “young age” (despite developing being a normal thing that we just sexualize especially for young girls and young black girls at that but that’s a topic for a different day) in fear a “street harasser” aka a male identified dust that would yell out something to embarrass me or come up to “talk” to me and it eventually turn into something threatening, literally I wanted to revert inward in shame until one day I literally decided I was going to take back my power because wether I was “nice” or not, answered them or didn’t ,they were going to do what they were going to do anyways…… be a harmful dust. So I got my self defense armory up n wether I have an embarrassing snappy comeback to say or I decide it’s not worth my time, I keep my confidence up and not allow anyone to dictate how I feel about me.

They were always like the sassy friend or just somebody who was like ‘mm mm’ and I didn’t want to do that.” Modeling presented itself as a way to increase representation while soothing her creative itch. “If people see more people like me maybe there will be more roles for people like me,” she reasoned. “I know that I’m light skinned and I know my privileges but I also know the representation of me doing like work with certain brands with my afro and me being a size 18 and being Black and tall from a certain type of class and background. When I was growing up I didn’t think anything was for me,” she said excitedly.

I was like there’s no way you know that’s not something they would do.” Part of why she thought that way was the unlevel playing field she entered when starting to model.

As I started knowing more and learning more about the industry, I found out a lot a lot of women who come into the industry tend to have a good background already. They’re so successful because they’re able to do all the shoots. They’re able to just travel to these events or pay to get into these events where certain people are.
