Can’t please anybody nowadays… Matt Lauer Faces Criticism On Both Sides For Chris Brown Interview Chris Brown is the most divisive black male celebrity figure we’ve seen since O.J. Simpson, and this story is the proof… Via RadarOnline Matt Lauer probably feels he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. The 55-year-old embattled TODAY co-host is now taking heat for his interview with Chris Brown on Monday’s show, with Brown’s fans angry he asked questions about the Forever singer’s infamous 2009 beating of Rihanna, and Brown’s detractors arguing he danced around the seriousness of the brutal beating by not directly referring to it. During the discussion, Lauer asked Brown — who said “everything’s good” in his current relationship with the Umbrella singer — about “the incident in 2009″ as well as what he thought of the “cynics” who believe Brown’s abusive ways are not behind him. Among the tweets putting down Lauer, users criticized the NBC journalist for his softball language and friendly nature toward the convicted-woman beater. Peep the tweets on the back side.

Poor Porsha ! On Sunday Hollywood Life reported that there is a possibility that Porsha and Kordell Stewart may reconcile, which falls right in line with an interview they did with her just days before Kordell filed for divorce. In that interview Porsha defends her husband, declares him her king and says they are “Team Stewart”: The ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star come to the HollywoodLife.com offices just one week before her husband Kordell Stewart filed for divorce. In the video she says that she and Kordell were still trying to have kids and that he’s her ‘king.’ Porsha Stewart didn’t mention any trouble in her marriage when she came to HollywoodLife.com to talk about her hit Bravo reality show The Real Housewives Of Atlanta. We had to ask her about her marriage, and she didn’t even bat an eye when we asked whether Kordell was controlling. “Well I don’t have a problem with a man having an opinion,” she told us. “If you’re a man, I need to know where you are leading our family. And I love that about him and along the way, there are some things I agree with and some things I don’t. As long as he can respect my opinion and let me woo him into what I want.” We followed up our controlling question by asking the reality star is her voice is heard in the marriage and she said: “Absolutely! Oh ya we are a team. This is Team Stewart. He’s the king and I’m the queen.” In our interview with Porsha, she also talks about wanting to build her family with Kordell and keep trying to have a baby. How sad is that? She was out there defending him while he was plotting on dropping her. Photo Credit: John Cook/DreamDesignWeddings
Nicki Minaj says she’s NEVER had a bad American Idol moment… Nicki Minaj Says She Was A Good American Idol Via RadarOnline reports: As far as Nicki Minaj is concerned she’s “spectacular” as a judge on American Idol! In a press conference call, Miss Jia was asked what her worst Idol moment had been so far. And the 30-year-old Starships singer was less than modest with her response. “My best and worst Idol moments? I don’t have a worst Idol moment. I’ve been spectacular,” Nicki boasted. She continued: “Yes, I am going to toot my own horn. And then my best moment is every single moment. I’ll toot it again!” Minaj also revealed that she was a little fearful sitting on the judging panel of the Fox reality TV hit. Her main concern was that she was coming off as a mean judge when everyone else was being too nice to the contestants. “I didn’t know what to expect going in to the show. I was so nervous,” she said. “I had a lot of anxiety. I felt like, ‘Okay, I know everybody’s just going to hate me. There were moments in the audition process that I would say to the producers, ‘I can’t do this anymore. If everyone is going to give a good critique and I’m going to be the only one being honest, then America is going to hate me. I’m going to be seen as mean.’ And the producers said, ‘Nicki, trust us, America is going to appreciate the honesty.’ And that’s all I had to go on.” As RadarOnline.com previously reported, as the TV ratings for America Idol continue to plummet, the hatred towards Nicki is intensifying. Wednesday night’s episode of the one-time popular reality TV favorite pulled in just 11 million viewers –the lowest figures for an Idol show EVER. And judging by the Facebook page, ‘Ok: Remove Nicki Minaj From American Idol’ it’s clear to see who is turning viewers off. “I can’t watch my favorite show anymore…her arrogance, ignorance, stupid comments that have NOTHING to do with constructive criticism, and the lack of respect the brat displays every week. What a bad choice to replace Jennifer (Lopez),” Robert Deans wrote. “Nicki’s voice box needs to be removed,” said Nick Sharp. While Steven Pappas took his criticism further, admitting: “Sorry, but I just really, REALLY wanna punch her square in the face! I think that would probably make me feel best!” Umm, ok Nicki.

The brown-skinned bombshel l sat down with British talk show host Jonathan Ross earlier this week and spilled the beans on the Beibs getting a glimpse of her goodies. via Daily Mail Model Jourdan Dunn has revealed that Justin Bieber ‘kind of flirted’ with her during rehearsals for a Victoria’s Secret show.

According to Jourdan, Justin, who was 18 at the time, said to her: ‘You’ve got nice t*ts because you flashed [them] to me and my dancers, made our day.’ Opening up Ross on the show, she said: ‘During rehearsals my segment was the VS Pink with Justin Bieber. During rehearsals him and his dancers were actually there and for some reason, I don’t know why, I decided to wear a top that was low cut and no bra. So I go down, do my thing, do my pose and then I come off and then everyone was like “oh my god Jourdan everyone saw your boob.” The high-fashion flasher also went on to say that Justin was none to shy about letting her know he was feeling her after the show. ‘So then after the show we was chilling with Justin and he was kind of flirting with me and I kind of felt a bit awkward because he’s this little boy. He was 18 but I’m old enough to be his older sister, it’s kind of a bit weird. I laughed after it because he was 18 at the time and I was like ‘why not, flirt with the models, do your thing.’ We can’t even be mad at boobie bandit Biebs It’s hard out here for a piiiimp.

Lil Wayne Speaks On His Seizures For the first time since his widely publicized “near-death” hospitalization a few weeks ago, YMCMB bossman Lil Wayne has spoken out about his health and what caused he seizures. DJ Felli Fel of Power 106 Radio in L.A. recently caught up with the Young Money rapper for a phone interview, during which Weezy revealed that his seizures were nothing new. “The bad news is I’m an epileptic. I’m prone to seizures. This isn’t my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh seizure. I’ve had a bunch of seizures, ya’ll just never hear about them. But this time it got real bad ’cause I had three of them in a row and on the third one, my heart rate went down to like 30 percent. Basically, I could’ve died, so that is why it was so serious…. But the reason being for the seizures is just plain stress, no rest, overworking myself. That’s just typical me though.” Wayne also spoke in detail about his camp being aware of his condition: “I have people around me. I actually have them so much they already know what to do. They already know how to handle it. Certain times I don’t even go to the hospital, but this time, it was real bad because it was three in a row, and I’ve never had three back to back like that. The third one was so bad and I live in the hills in L.A. So the reason why it was bad was that I live all the way at the top, so you know how hard it is getting down those hills. That was what was so scary about it.” So, according to Weezy, him getting slizzard on syrup like it’s water has nothing to do with these seizures…or maybe he just decided to leave that part out. But surely hearty doses of codeine don’t help. You can check out the entire interview below. What do you think Bossip fam?
Is this Hov throwing super shade to Keri on Instagram? Did Jay-Z Use Instagram To Respond To Keri Hilson Dissing Beyonce? A few weeks ago, an Instagram page surfaced bearing the name of, and carrying the implication that, the culprit behind its creation is none other than Roc Nation bossman Jay-Z . Although the page itself looks much like the countless other fakes celebrity pages floating around on social media sites, one Instagram post in particular has fans of Mr. Carter and his thug Mrs. Beyonce wondering if it really might be him. This post, which originally began circulating a few weeks ago during the Keri Hilson/Bey Hive showdown , apparently grabbed the attention of whomever is behind the account enough to garner a re-post…….and enough to leave more than a few folks wondering if Hubby Hov is really the man behind the message and the Instagram page. Given the fact that the Carters might be the most notoriously private couple on the planet, we’re gonna call this one false. What do you think Bossip fam? If you can’t quite decide just yet, you can hit the flip to check out a few of the other IG posts from this alleged Hov account and see if looks like the real thing ….

Kimora Lee Simmons is opening up about life after her split with Djimon and her “fabulous” life… In an interview with Daily Mail Kimora runs her mouth about pretty much everything. Peep the quotes: On Her Big Personality And Career: Kimora Lee Simmons could never be described as a woman who does things by halves. Big hair, big heels, big attitude: as she herself says, ‘I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.’ It’s a tactic which has propelled her from being the only child of a single mother growing up in St Louis, Missouri, to becoming a Chanel runway model at 13, girlfriend (and subsequent wife) of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons at 17 and now president and creative director of the online fashion website, JustFab. As she herself explains: ‘I’m very determined, honest, open and definitely very energetic. I expect a lot as a boss and I’m very demanding, but I ask that of myself too.’ ‘After Life in the Fab Lane [Kimora’s previous show] which had sprinklings of my family life in it, I really wanted to show the workings of an office and how a team works together to build a brand,’ she says, altogether softer and more quiet than her on-screen persona. ‘It’s like The Office,’ she says, referring to the Ricky Gervais-inspired series, ‘but a lot more organized.’ On Her Weight: Part of her appeal to women lies in her self-confidence and her positive body image (admittedly not difficult to muster when you’re as striking as she is), ‘but I’ve faced rejection time and time again and I’ve been lots of different sizes,’ she says. ‘I’ve had times when I’ve been much bigger and much smaller so that you could see my ribs and I look back at some pictures and it was awful to me. But it’s all OK because I’m comfortable with myself now. It’s about being healthy and active and having a crazy schedule and running after my three kids, so I probably eat very sporadically – lots of smaller meals and snacks. It’s just about having an active lifestyle.’ On Fabulosity: It has spawned books (Fabulosity: What It Is and How to Get It) and perfumes (Baby Phat Fabulosity) and, says Kimora, ‘I came up with that phrase many years ago and people just seem to love it. It’s about knowing that we come with so much that is already fabulous but knowing also that we can always improve and be better. ‘It’s not about how skinny you are or how much money or how many diamonds you have – that’s the fluff that people sometimes look at as being the main thing. It’s about understanding that the things that make you fabulous are all inside of you.’ On Her Childhood: Growing up an only child in Missouri, Kimora was still a young girl when her parents separated, leaving her mother, Joanne Perkins, to raise her alone. ‘A lot of my ideals come from my mom,’ she says, ‘and seeing what she sacrificed for me and how hard she worked definitely shaped me.’ Did her mother constantly tell her she was fabulous? ‘Well, I think people used different words for it back then!’ Kimora laughs. ‘But she was definitely the prototype of strong womanhood for me and it’s where I get a lot of my determination from.’ Her exotic ancestry (Kimora is of Korean, Japanese and African-American descent) meant that growing up in the Midwest in the mid-Seventies and Eighties presented its own particular set of problems. ‘I was bullied and picked on because I was so different to everyone else,’ she says, ‘and I definitely didn’t believe or even know I was fabulous back then. But those hard times made me everything I am today. It’s all water under the bridge now, but being bullied and going through adversity definitely made me stronger.’ To improve Kimora’s confidence, her mother enrolled her in a modelling class when she was ten years old and after embarking on her modelling career at the age of 13, Kimora was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld to model for Chanel, where she went on to walk the runways of Paris, Milan and New York. ‘That was a real turning point for me,’ admits Kimora, ‘because everything that people considered weird about me before, well, suddenly Karl Lagerfeld said it was OK. He’s one of the biggest names in fashion, so all of a sudden it gave me a validity and introduced me to a whole other world.’ On Her Relationships: By the time she had turned 17, Kimora had already caught the eye of Russell Simmons, co-founder of the Def Jam label as well as creator of the Phat Farm clothing line (Kimora is former creative director and co-founder of its subsidiary, Baby Phat). She married him at 23 and though the couple separated in 2006, Simmons occasionally pops up in Kimora’s various TV shows with their two daughters Ming, now 13, and Aoki, ten. Kimora subsequently went on to marry actor Djimon Hounsou (best known for his roles in Blood Diamond and Amistad) and although they have a three-year-old son Kenzo, the couple separated at the end of last year. She deftly sidesteps the reasons as to why her five-year union with Hounsou didn’t last, but says: ‘Relationships do change throughout the course of your life and I always think in terms of relationships changing and evolving rather than starting and stopping. ‘Kids never go away from your life and if you’ve been married, that person probably never goes away either. You never get rid of anyone and,’ she laughs, ‘they never really get rid of you!’ Although she says she is on friendly terms with her ex-husbands, she admits: ‘Gosh, it’s not always so easy, but I try to do everything from the viewpoint of what’s best for my kids. I have three kids and two great dads and it’s not always easy, but you have to try to be a little selfless and we manage just fine.’ On Dating: Though Kimora was recently linked with heavyweight boxer Malik ‘King’ Scott, she says now: ‘I’m not with anyone at the moment – it’s just my kids and their two dads I guess’ and one wonders whether all that rampant fabulosity might not be a touch intimidating for some men. ‘Well, I think they are sometimes [intimidated],’ she admits, ‘but men are intimidated by a lot of things, you know, such as jobs and bit of determination. They have a lot of insecurities about who we are, what we have, what we look like, what we’ve accomplished and what we’re capable of because we’re fabulous and capable of doing so much and juggling so much every day. ‘People might be mad I’m saying this, but [men] do have a lot of hang-ups. But that shouldn’t deter you ladies from being great! You don’t have to dumb down – you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I’ve found a couple – I’ve been lucky – but it’s probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man.’ On Growing Up Too Fast: ‘Oh my gosh, I did,’ she exclaims. ‘I was modelling at ten, I married very young and I’ve done everything pretty early. I always joke that I’ve had several midlife crises already! I’ve definitely made mistakes along the way,’ she admits, ‘but I’ve got a good head on my shoulders and,’ she adds in a rare moment of understated fabulosity, ‘things have turned out pretty well so far.’ Have you been watching Kimora’s newest show? Who do you think she’ll get with next? We have a feeling that this Djimon business still ain’t really OVER.
Did Karrueche Blast Keyshia Cole For Dissing Beyonce? The rumor mill is buzzing with talk that former Chris Breezy bustdown Karrueche joined in with the “Bey Hive” yesterday and went in on angry blonde bird Keyshia Cole for taking to her Twitter to diss Beyonce’s new gangsta-boo anthem “Bow Down.” A ‘Karrueche Tran’ Twitter account recently put out this photo meme and a few tweets throwing some super shade at Keyshia’s struggle career….. But as it turns out, the account is actually a fake that happens to mirror crunchy Karrueche’s account down to the background and profile pic. SMH. The thirst is real.
