There is a lot of controversy that comes with discussing dating in the black community. Black women often feel they are overlooked by their black male…
If you follow Kylie Jenner on Instagram , you know the girl’s not shy about showing off her body. And that’s fine; Kylie’s 18, and she can do what she wants. What’s lame, however, is when she starts shilling BS health and fitness products to her 40 million followers with the promise that this crap will somehown help them look more like Kylie: That’s Kylie hawking something called Lyfe Tea, and as you can see, she looks super psyched about it. Kylie posted that pic to her Instagram this morning with the following caption: “Morning 🙂 My flat tummy secret is my @lyfe_tea teatox! We need all the help we can get to keep off the holiday pounds. So keeping my @lyfe_tea with me keeps my waistline slim!” Yes, Kylie is claiming that you too can have a flat stomach if you suck down some weird herbal concoction every day. We’re sure her own taut tummy has nothing to do with her army of dieticians and trainers, her Olympic athlete genetics, or the fact that she’s freakin’ 18 years old. Is it as bad as Kylie’s waist trainer selfies ? No, because this tea won’t squeeze your organs into unnatural shapes (we think). But it still says a lot about Kylie that she’s willing to sell an easy answer to impressionable young fans in exchange for money that she could not possibly need . Sigh. The girl should really just stick to semi-nude selfies . View Slideshow: 61 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kylie Jenner
As previously confirmed, June Shannon and Sugar Bear are headed to Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars . And, by the sound of things, the couple is in dire need of it. In a revealing interview with toofab, the reality stars open up about their recent relationship struggles, with both sides acknowledging that the Bear cheated on his long-time love. “My biggest issues was my cheating,” explains Sugar Bear . “I’ve done that and shouldn’t have and I look back on it, I regret it and I wanted to go to Marriage Boot Camp and get the help that I need.” Initial reports alleged that Sugar Bear was simply caught surfing dating websites. But it has now been confirmed that he did far more with someone far closer to June than some random woman on the Internet. “It was really hurtful because one of it was a good friend of ours that we’ve known for quite some time,” confessed June, explaining how Honey Boo Boo’s father had an affair with a co-worker’s wife. Shannon understandably reacted to the news with anger and sadness at first . But now it sounds like she’s trying to educate her overweight lover. “I told him, a lot of times, people aren’t liking you for Mike Thompson, they’re liking you because, Sugar Bear, you’re Honey Boo Boo’s dad,” June says. “You gotta realize who’s really there for you, and who’s a fanatic and just wants to say ‘Oh my god, I slept with Sugar Bear.” We’d really like to meet the person who would take pride in saying that… and/or we never want to meet the person who would take pride in saying that. While there’s plenty for fans to see between Shannon and Sugar Bear on the WE tv series when it kicks off on December 4, the couple did give an update on their current status. “We are still living separate. We see each other on the weekend and there’s some things he still needs to work on,” June says. “The trust is still not there 100%. I still tell him, in the house you have to be honest no matter what the consequences are.” View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Are Known Cheaters
Lark Voorhies’ estranged husband Jimmy Green reportedly shopped this picture of her smoking what appears to be marijuana after she filed for divorce. Jimmy Green Lied About Sex Tape For Publicity And To Hurt Wife Lark Voorhies Lark Voorhies’ estranged husband hatched a desperate plan to humiliate her and generate quick cash by leaking details of a FAKE sex tape, BOSSIP can reveal. Last week Voorhies filed for divorce from Jimmy Green, her hubby of six months, citing irreconcilable differences. Green then tried to shop the photo above of the former “Saved By The Bell” star smoking what appeared to be a marijuana blunt, but abandoned that idea and upped the ante by telling the world he had a video of them having sex, a friend of the couple said. But BOSSIP has learned the entire sex tape story was a hoax motivated by Green’s increasingly frenzied search for money and publicity for his fledgling rap career. Green also wanted to hurt Voorhies once she changed her cell phone number after her mother filed a restraining order against him, the couple’s friend Marky Hutt told us. “The sex tape doesn’t exist,” Hutt told BOSSIP. “It was a ploy to get Lark to contact him because of the restraining order. He doesn’t even have a phone. He’s broke. He takes the bus. Any sex that happens is in her mother’s house.” And how does Hutt know all of this? The part-time PR man said he gave Green the idea for the fake sex tape when Green reached out to him claiming he was “stressed, need(ing) some money,” according to Facebook messages provided to BOSSIP. “Unfortunately, that was my idea, and I regret it,” Hutt said. Hutt – who met Voorhies through mutual friends a few years ago – said Green went as far as to ask Hutt to pose as a reporter to get Voorhies’ new phone number, all the while claiming Voorhies didn’t want to divorce, but her mother, Trish was pushing her into it. Green also claimed Voorhies liked to pop sleeping pills during the day, Hutt said, adding that the jobless Green told him since he’s no longer welcome at Voorhies’ parents’ home, he’d spend the day at the library around the corner. “It was creepy,” Hutt said. Hutt said he got cold feet about the sex tape charade and decided to speak out because he’s worried Green’s lie would send Voorhies – who has had a history of mental health problems – into a downward spiral. He said he’s witnessed Voorhies talk to herself and speak to inanimate objects like trees even when she’s taking her medication. “She lives a very sheltered life, which is understandable when you have people like this trying to take advantage,” Hutt said. “She doesn’t need this kind of publicity about a sex tape. That’ll trigger a relapse.” We’ve reached out to Voorhies, and her publicist Jennifer Wolfson for comment. Hit the flip for more of Green’s shady messages:

Vicki Gunvalson, the last woman standing from The Real Housewives of Orange County’s inception, may be on her way out if her co-stars get their way. The “O.G. of the O.C.” has been there since day one, and here in Season 10, acts like she runs the show as a de facto producer on the hit Bravo series. That’s precisely what’s rubbing everyone else the wrong way. “The women are all trying to have Vicki fired ,” a RHOC source said. “The [cast members] all are sick of Vicki and feel like she shouldn’t be on the show anymore. They’ve been talking about refusing to film with her.” After spending the better part of the season fighting with Meghan King Edmonds, Tamra Barney, Shannon Beador, Vicki is shorter on allies than ever. Yes, the whole Brooks Ayers fake cancer drama was that polarizing. Vicki’s oft-maligned boyfriend was a lightning rod for controversy on his best day. Then he was accused of faking a life-threatening illness. And he’s threatening to sue Edmonds , Beador, even Vicki herself. Gunvalson does have Andy Cohen on her side, however, which is key: “Andy has always said that Vicki is his favorite Housewife out of them all.” Who’s first, Lisa Vanderpump? Neither here nor there … Vicki also has something else important to back her up: “She made sure that her deal said that only she can break the contract. She is one of the creators and founders of the show,” says an insider. “She has to quit or resign in order to end her position.” Wow. If that’s true, give it up for shrewd negotiating. The things you don’t realize have already taken place behind the scenes when you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online . Anyway … Thus, if “they really want to use the ‘she goes or we go’ card,” the source goes on, “they’re afraid that Bravo will fire all of them and keep Vicki.” So … Season 11 Everybody vs. Vicki Feud it is?
After two years of marriage, it is all over for Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez . This is Berry’s third divorce, and the couple likely got married because she was pregnant (they tied the knot in July 2013; she gave birth to a son named Maceo in October 2013)… so it’s we can’t really say we’re shocked by this development. Still. We’re left wondering what, exactly, went wrong. According to People Magazine, a major source of contention has been the couple’s living situation. An insider tells the publication that Martinez has never been “happy” residing in Los Angeles, but Berry has no choice in the matter: She’d love to raise Maceo and daughter Nahla in Eurupe… but she remains entangled in a custody battle over the former with Nahla’s dad, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. Then there’s the issue of Martinez’s short fuse. “He has a violent temper,” People reports, with a couple of examples easy to cite: Martinez got into a Thanksgiving Day brawl with Aubry in 2012; he was also pushed an airport employee with a baby seat earlier this year. That employee is now suing the Martinez and Berry for $5 million. In the end, a source tells People that the relationship between the two “fiery personalities” had “run its course.” Both sides are seeking joint custody over Maceo and, while there are a few details on which they disagree in the dueling divorce papers, “they are keeping it amicable now,” the insider adds, concluding of Berry “She is okay.” This is Martinez first divorce, and the third for Berry, who wed baseball player David Justice in 1993 and singer Eric Benét in 2001. She’s often blamed a bad relationship with her father for her many ongoing issues with men. View Slideshow: 25 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces
Unauthorized Book “Becoming Beyonce” Claims Rihanna Rumors About Jay Z Almost Ruined His Relationship With Bey The rumors about Rihanna and Jay Z have been around for a decade, now RadarOnline is reporting about a new book that is setting those stories straight once and for all: According to a shocking new tell-all, Becoming Beyonce, by celebrity journalist J. Randy Taraborrelli, the “Drunk In Love” singer, 34, and her longtime love, 45, began fighting over her obsessive dedication to work in 2005. “He felt that she was too concerned with [work] and overwhelmed by it…She also had a tendency to become moody and defensive when under great work pressure, and it had begun to drive a wedge between her and Jay,” Taraborrelli writes in his unauthorized biography, available on October 27. “The two broke up for a time during that year. She flat-out told him she needed a break.” During their secret time apart, rumors swirled that the rapper had begun romancing a stunning up-and-coming singer: Rihanna, then just 17 years old. A former member of Rihanna’s camp confessed to Taraborrelli that he made up the scandalous stories in order to attract attention to the teen’s career. Though the hot hook-up may not have been true, the author claims Beyonce believed the gossip. “Beyonce wasn’t sure she could trust Jay when it came to his adamant denials,” he writes. “She couldn’t help but be skeptical.” The tension exploded into a full-on fight one night at Jay’s 40/40 club in New York. “All that was heard…was Rihanna’s name uttered several times, before Beyonce stood up and stormed off,” Taraborelli alleges. Jay eventually won her back in 2006, as Beyonce felt “lost” without her man. But Rihanna would remain a sore subject in the couple’s relationship, even for years after their 2008 wedding. Taraborrelli claims Jay’s infamous elevator battle with Beyonce’s little sister Solange after the 2014 Met Gala was over his suggestion that they attend a party hosted by the Barbadian bombshell. This is the first time we think we’ve EVER seen it written that the rumors about Jay Z and Rihanna were fabricated to help her career. This version of the story actually makes sense because she was definitely in need of a career assist back in her “Pon Da Replay” days… As for the break — we don’t think that’s much of a secret. Seems like EVERYBODY knows the couple had their ups and downs and that she had trust issues — that’s why they were always so famously private before marrying. What to you think guys, will this book be a good read or does it sound Taraborrelli??? Ha ha… Sorry terrible joke but hey!
