Lauren Braxton Dies; Niece of Famous Singer Was 24

Tragedy has struck the family of long-time singer Toni Braxton. Lauren Braxton, the daughter of Toni’s younger brother, Michael Conrad Braxton Jr., died yesterday as the result of a heart condition. She was 24 years old. The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in the state of Maryland confirmed this awful news to Radar Online, while Lauren’s dad did the same to TMZ. No further details related to the cause of death are available at this time. Law enforcement officials say they received a 911 call around noon on Monday — and that Lauren (who went by the nickname LoLo) was unresponsive when they arrived. She was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene. “We ask that you please respect the family’s privacy in this time of sadness and loss,” the Braxton Family said in a statement this afternoon. Michael is a Maryland based singer-songwriter and is the only son of the Braxton siblings, having appeared on numerous episodes of their show, Braxton Family Values. He and Toni, 51, are the elder siblings to sisters Traci, 48, Towanda, 45, Trina, 44, and Tamar, 42. Following the heart-shattering news, Trina posted the above photo of Lauren to her Instagram page and wrote as a caption: “God sent me another angel! Rest in Heaven Lauren ‘LoLo’ Braxton.” Traci has also chimed in on the awful development as follows: LoLo was more than my niece, she was my daughter; and I, my son and husband are truly heartbroken over her passing. According to the witness cited in the official police report, she had been having a conversation with Lauren in a kitchen prior to heading upstairs for about 10 minutes. When she returned, she found Lauren on the floor and called the authorities. Simply terrible all around, especially in light of another tragedy suffered by the family just a few months ago. Last December, Trina Braxton’s ex-husband, Gabe Solis, died of cancer in Texas at age 43. Friends, family members and followed have flooded Lauren’s Instagram page – which frequently featured her famous loved ones – to post condolences in her comments in the wake of her death. Braxton Family Values is currently in its sixth season and airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on We TV. Lauren would have turned 25 years old on May 9. Lauren Braxton rest in peace.

Tamar Braxton Wants To Be Single Immediately, Seeks “Status Only” Divorce

Go here to read the rest:

Source: WENN / WENN The divorce battle between estranged couple Tamar Braxton and Vince Herbert is still ongoing, and now the singer and media personality is seeking immediate single status. Braxton has requested a “status only” divorce to become legally single, but there is still much more to handle on the back end. The Blast reports : According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Braxton has asked the court for a “status only” divorce — meaning she and Vince Herbert would be legally single. They still have the usual support and custody issues to work out but Braxton makes it clear in the docs: “Petitioner seeks a dissolution of her marriage with Respondent based on irreconcilable differences. Petitioner believes there is nothing the Court can do to salvage or repair the marriage.” As The Blast first reported, Braxton has been itching to get her divorce settled for some time now. Last October, she asked a judge to grant her a default judgment in the case because Vince had been blowing off responding to her petition for divorce. Braxton filed for divorce from Herbert back in October 2017. — Photo: WENN

Which Is It? Woodstock Festival Off and On

Read more:

Source: Brian Ach / Getty Today, the investors in the new Woodstock Festival said it was off. However, the promoters say it’s still on. Just about everyone else is confused. First, earlier today (April 29), Billboard reported that the three-day Woodstock Festival’s organizers had decided to cancel the event. Officials from Dentsu Aegis Network, the event’s sponsor, told Billboard : “It’s a dream for agencies to work with iconic brands and to be associated with meaningful movements. We have a strong history of producing experiences that bring people together around common interests and causes which is why we chose to be a part of the Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival.  But despite our tremendous investment of time, effort and commitment, we don’t believe the production of the festival can be executed as an event worthy of the Woodstock Brand name while also ensuring the health and safety of the artists, partners and attendees.” They added,  “As a result and after careful consideration, Dentsu Aegis Network’s Amplifi Live, a partner of Woodstock 50, has decided to cancel the festival.  As difficult as it is, we believe this is the most prudent decision for all parties involved.” This is a major setback considering some the headliners included Jay-Z, Chance The Rapper, the Killers and Imagine Dragons. However, shortly thereafter, the Woodstock Festivals promoters said it was still on. “Woodstock 50 vehemently denies the festival’s cancellation and legal remedy will (be) sought,” read a statement from Woodstock 50 promoters, as reported by the Poughkeepsie Journal . Woodstock 50 was (is?) scheduled to go down Aug. 16 to Aug. 18 in Watkins Glen, Schuyler County in New York. However, the County Administrator reportedly received notice of its cancellation. It goes without saying that rumblings of the Fyre Festival debacle and potential similarities to that well-documented clusterf*ck have already started. — Photo: Getty

Many were upset at the chart tracker for removing a track which clearly sounds like Country music, yet artists like Post Malone live on the Hip-Hop charts. Some Country fans actually had a fit when Beyonce performed her “Lemonade” single ‘Daddy Lessons’ at the Country Music Awards in 2016.   Close Thank you for subscribing!

‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Karlie Redd Suffers A Heartbreaking Loss

See more here:

Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta starts with The fellas kicking it plus one. It’s the usual, Joc, Scrappy, and Kirk, but then Karlie Redd’s fiance, MO is in the mix too. Joc and Mo are cool despite what could be awkward circumstances. They keep it grown. Kirk then mentions that he and Rasheeda want to plan another couples retreat. Mo says he and Karlie Redd might, but in the meantime, has to go to Arkansas to “take care of some business” and the rest of them tell him they hope it works out. This is definitely loaded…and sounds shady. We’ve been here tons of time on this show, but anyway, hold that thought because it’s going to come back around. Let’s fast forward a bit. Che Mack is at Pooh’s house explaining how silly she feels for taking Pooh’s advice and trying to “expose” Karlie Redd at her engagement party. It took losing her job as a dj to do some self-reflection. Later on, Che mack is now working as a bartender since she lost her dj gig. Shekinah and Tokyo Vanity meet up with Che before a shift as a bartender to see wtf she was thinking at Karlie’s party. The general consensus is, Che Mack needs to apologize. Speaking of Karlie Redd, she’s dealing with some real ish. The doctor confirms what he already suspected. She’s having a miscarriage, and he’s devastated. Meanwhile, Moniece and Tiarra have respective conversations about Scrapp Deleon cheating shenanigans. Scrapp seems to have broken things off with Moniece while telling Teirra that he’s willing to try for the sake of their family. Heard that one before. Back to Karlie and Mo. Karlie did some snooping while Mo was gone and found some conversations with a woman in Arkansas so she plans to confront Mo, who plans to tell her what’s up anyway so it’s not really a confrontation. Mo explains to Karlie Redd that he was in Arkansas trying to take care of a DNA test situation. Basically, a woman from his past explained that she has his baby. Mo said he didn’t know the woman was pregnant and she just popped up. He plans to get a DNA test and he plans to take care of his child if it’s his. Karlie is livid, especially because she has been with men who have had babies on her. Mo seems genuine, and you know how hard that is to come by o this show. So, Karlie tells him to gtfoh and that they are done. In fairness, Mo actually seems genuine and like he’s telling the truth. Karlie is being hasty and unwilling to hear him out. Maybe she’ll come back around. Erica Dixon is pregnant with twins and kept it a surprise until she felt like telling her girls. She has an announcement party with her girls and then Che Mack comes waltzing in. Karlie is there too. Che Mack apologizes to Karlie and they call a truce. Karlie even apologizes for having been rude to her. Finally, the episode winds down with Moniece confronting Scrapp about him being caught kissing Tommy as well as Tiarra having a problem with her on social media, and al his other drama with women yatta yatta. Now Scrapp is changing his tune. He said he was never exclusive with anyone (but probably lead them all to believe that) but now he’s preparing to be a family again with Tiarra. Moniece is over it (for now) and that’s that. We all know Scrapp is still lying though. He’ll get caught again soon enough. See you next week.

Jenni Farley to Roger Mathews: Way to Ditch Our Kids So You Could Rage!

According to Jenni Farley, she cannot stop smiling over the presence of  Zack Carpinello in her life. The Jersey Shore veteran and her 24-year old lover seem quite content with each other at the moment. Conversely, Farley has made it clear once again that she REALLY is displeased with estranged husband Roger Mathews right about now. Following an Easter Sunday in which Farley and Mathews put their differences aside in order to spend time as a family with their two young kids, something appears to have gone awry. For a reason Jenni tried to make clear in a scathing Tweet yesterday, she now has yet another reason to think Mathews is a very bad parent and role model. In her Instagram Story message, posted late on Sunday, the MTV personality best known as JWoww said that her son and daughter wouldn’t be spending the weekend with their dad because he wanted to “rage.” She later deleted the note, but nothing ever dies on the Internet. “When you find out on Wednesday your kids will be with someone other than their father over the weekend because he wants to rage during HIS time because it’s been planned ‘for months,'” Farley wrote along with rolling eyes emojis. “Yeahhhh ok. Loving all your ‘dad posts,'” she added, mocking Mathews for how often he claims to be a dedicated and loving father and concluding: “Please keep over posting…really shows how ‘involved you are.'” It certainly is true that during the crux of their VERY ugly exchanges late last year and earlier this year, Mathews often claimed that Farley was ignoring their kids in order to film Jersey Shore. After his estranged wife obtained a restraining order against him several months ago, Mathews went on an all-time Instagram rant . He trashed Farley as a fake and phony sand vowed that the “truth” would come out and that all he cares about in life is being a responsible parent. It hasn’t really been made clear exactly what Mathews was referring to at the time, but a sad truth has seemingly come out about him since this argument: He admitted in an open letter to having been abusive with Farley, as documented below: View Slideshow: Roger Mathews Pens Letter to Jenni Farley, Admits to Abuse In this case, JWoww’s post apears to be in response to Roger’s Instagram video, posted Saturday, showing him on a “rare dad night out.” “Had this night planned for a few months now,” Mathews wrote along with the video, adding: “Kids are enjoying a sleepover with my best friends kids @fitmom_meg and Dads going to see @louiedevito tonight with some 20 year friends @jamiemalloy35 @dannycars13 @maximillian143 @aimeedanger @chrissyjules. “Rare dad night out. Leeeeeeets goo.” We can totally understand Farley’s frustration here. Her kids and two and three years old, seemingly pretty young to have a sleepover. It also seems a bit odd for Mathews to celebrate a “rare” night out, considering he doesn’t have primary custody of these children. Farley filed for divorce from the 43-year-old truck driver in September of 2018 after a three-year marriage, full of ups and down. The reality star has since moved on with Carpinello, whom Mathews seemingly approves of, having been asked for his opinion by Us Weekly a few days back. “He seems like a terrific guy and they seem to really be happy, and I’m very happy for them,” Mathews told this tabloid shortly after it revealed her new man is the 24-year-old professional wrestler from New York. Mathews added at the time that Carpinello is a “good friend of her little brother” and that they’ve been dating for “a few months.” We’re very glad to hear it. And we hope, for the sake of their kids, that Jenni and Roger can find an amicable co-parenting solution in the near future.

Game of Thrones Preview: Now What?!?

Sometimes in sports, a team will come out on top in a very important game. They'll defeat their major rival in exciting fashion and be riding especially high afterwards, thinking nothing can ever bring them down. But this excitement causes them to overlook the following opponent and they end up playing what is typically referred to as a “letdown” game. And they end up losing such a game. We bring all of this up to say the following to Dany, Jon Snow and especially Arya Stark: Celebrate your victory over the Night Kind and his undead forces. But not too hard and not for too long. Because there's a certain evil queen and her army just waiting to strike their vulnerable foe in the next inevitable battle. Following the epic events in  Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 , it's hard to imagine where this series will go next. But one need not try to imagine because a brand new installment airs in just a few days — and we've got your very first look at it here. In the tease featured here, Daenerys promises that the “last war” is coming to Westeros, clearly preparing her decimated army to march against Cersei in the capital city. However, Sansa is not comfortable with her family’s alliance with Dany and isn't shy about expressing such grievances. Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, Cersei appears to be preparing to fight while fending off advances from the odious Euron Greyjoy, whose army she needs to win any future battle — but whose company she may be growing tired of. Will all of this feel rather anticlimactic after our heroes and heroines took down the Night King? Perhaps. But many viewers out there think the political power struggle is where the bulk of the intrigue lies on this drama. Are you among them? There's also the issue of Bronn having been enlisted to kill Tyrion and Jaime, as well as Jaime coming across the sister he has now betrayed. He has to be the one to eventually kill Cersei, right? He simply has to be. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, however, let's just take a look ahead to this Sunday and Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4. Check out the preview now!
