Source: Owen Franken / Getty Ahhhh, Twitter. A place of magic and mystery–and sometimes, a platform for people to completely air out their dirty laundry. If you’ve never seen a fly-out-story-gone-wrong floating through your timeline, you’re probably following the wrong people. Every so often, the Twittersphere gets hit with some personal anecdotes that may be painful for those experiencing it…but honestly, that makes it all the more entertaining. And whenever a popular Twitter honey is involved in the drama, things reach a whole new level. In today’s installment of: “She Tried To Get Him To Give Her HOW MUCH MONEY?” we meet popular social media personality, Lipstickthvg . With nearly 50,000 followers on Twitter, a lot of males and females follow Brittany for her enticing pictures. pic.twitter.com/DpEmeMbdvs — i wouldnt say a liar (@lipstickthvg) March 6, 2018 She’s a pretty girl, so it’s no surprise she has a few prospects in her phone. That’s where the drama starts. Another guy on Twitter, Maurice , began posting screenshots of his messages with Lipsticktvg. They’re pretty longwinded, but to summarize: He felt played after finding out Brittany was talking to another guy that he didn’t know about. Everything got especially wild in a text where Maurice asked how much money he’d need to give her in order to completely cut off that other guy from her life. Her answer? $15,000. @_LarryLight also me jokingly asking a price she said it's $15k to make you go away. (Cut you off) knowing I have the money to do it which is why she said so high (but I wouldn't) the next day she changed it to $10k which I still wouldn't do. Just Heads Up. pic.twitter.com/f0z3lrrJKr — Don Dada (@ScammyNewton) March 7, 2018 There you have it. I don’t know what’s worse, paying the girl your talking to to get rid of her other dude, or asking for $15K to earn your affection. Either way, this situation is clearly insane–and since it was posted on Twitter, the court of public opinion started firing off jokes. Get a good laugh today by taking a look at what the rest of the internet had to say about Brittany asking for $15,000, and Maurice offering to pay it in the first place. @lipstickthvg ‘s has created too much Twitter content tonight, enjoy the app while it’s free because stuff like this will have those twitter CEO’s charging sooner or later lmao. — est. 93’ (@Jesimein) March 8, 2018 If my homie ever told me he sent $15K to a chick pic.twitter.com/7uM0xMGaEC — (@DaveCapone) March 8, 2018 Me and my girl after u wire her that 15k to cut me off pic.twitter.com/6LSkGy7jeu — Yac House P (@PhillyTheBoss) March 8, 2018 Please offer my girl $15k to stop talking to me so we can go to Paris on your dime and I can eat steak off her booty like that Eddie Murphy pic while we laugh at your dumb ass — Beyonce has an uncle named Larry Beyince.

Source: John D. Kisch/Separate Cinema Archive / Getty In June 1988 the Eddie Murphy film “ Coming To America ” hit theaters and took the world by storm. It became the third-highest-grossing film at the US box office bring in over $128 Million dollars. The film is still popular to this day and a sequel is in the works. PLEASE READ: Are You Ready For The ‘Coming To America’ Sequel But did you know there was a Coming To America Television show? Eddie Murphy & CBS produced a pilot for a TV version starring “ In Living Color ” actor Tommy Davidson as Prince Tariq , the now King Akeem ‘s little brother (even though they never say his name) and Paul Bates reprising his role as Oha. House Party & Baby Boy actress A.J. Johnson also appears in the show as a waitress. The TV takes a different spin on the movie as Tariq is exiled to the United States after an incident in Zamunda and Oha is there to watch over here. After 9 days they blow all of their money and have to work. Donald Trump even gets a mention in the show.

Blind Bill Cosby Living In Fear Of Being Bugged Or Drugged How’s this for irony? Bill Cosby has been avoiding staying in hotels in Pittsburgh during pre-trial hearings and jury selection as he prepares for his June 5 sex assault trial in Philly because he fears someone will take advantage of his blindness and either DRUG him or BUG his room… So this guy gets up at 2:30 am to fly his private jet from Philadelphia instead. SMH. Hard to feel sorry for a guy with a private jet at his disposal. Riiight? According to Page Six reports : “He and his wife are afraid that if he stayed at a hotel, someone will find a way to poison him, put something in his food,” a source who works closely with the Cosby camp said. “He’s blind … so that makes him even more vulnerable to [being] poisoned or to having someone sneak into his room,” said a second source close to the family. Get this — Cosby won’t even drink from the water fountain at the courthouse. He brings his own food and water bottles from home. It’s not just being poisoned or drugged that he fears. The Cos is also concerned someone may be listening to his convos. “He’s thinking and his team is thinking, if he’s put in a hotel room, someone will find out which room he’s staying in and they’ll put a bug or a device in the room,” the source said. The comedian believes “plenty of people … would have a motive,” the family source said. Cosby’s wife, Camille, “really worries about him and she calls throughout the day to check on him,” the source added. Awwww poor Pill Cosby… The Page Six sources also claim he’s feeling pretty isolated and abandoned, especially by “friends” in Hollywood, the civil-rights community and the media. He feels Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and Sinbad – comedians he helped early in their careers — have not rallied around him. “Guys like Murphy, Lawrence and Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, guys that he paved the way for … they won’t offer any support,” the family source believes. “He can’t even pay people to come and support him,” the source continued. “He’s been told that agents have informed their clients that their careers would be over if they got involved. “We’re not asking anyone to testify. We are asking those whom he’s helped, maybe they can call or come sit in the courtroom and see for themselves what’s happening … before turning your back.” “Jesse [Jackson] claims to have forgotten Bill’s number and Al Sharpton won’t even return his phone calls,” the source inside the camp said. “Both of them were vocal in their support of Michael Jackson and the charges against Mike involved kids,” the source added. “So, is this really that toxic when you compare the two? Any other time they’d at least rally to say something about innocent until otherwise proven.” This is definitely a tricky situation considering Cosby definitely helped fund a lot of causes for some of these folks… It’s just hard to see showing support for something who is being accused of rape by 60 women! “I know there were meetings scheduled between Cosby’s team and Lester Holt. Every time we scheduled, Holt kept canceling and this kept happening,” the family source said. “Finally, we were told NBC had forbidden Lester Holt to meet with or have dinner with Bill Cosby.” It’s so bad out here for Bill he can’t even get a crisis manager to work with him. “Everyone says any affiliation is too toxic,” the family source said of two crisis firms that jumped ship despite seven-figure agreements. “Money exchanged hands, then the excuses came.” Can they really blame folks though? Out of 20 something people named on Cosby’s witness list, actress Diahann Carroll (who is 81) has been the only person to sho up for the comedian. Cosby is currently facing up to 10 years in prison if he’s convicted of drugging and assaulting former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand in 2004. She was 31 at the time. Cosby claims he’s innocent. WENN

Stephen Belafonte Gets Visitation Of Daughter With Mel B In addition to racks and racks of spousal support , Stephen Belafonte petitioned the judge in his divorce proceedings from “Scary Spice” Mel B to get joint custody of not only his own daughter with Mel B, but her daughter with Eddie Murphy as well. As you know, Stephen and Mel started dating while she was 5 months pregnant with Eddie Murphy’s daughter Angel, and the two got married just a month after she was born. As such, and with Eddie’s own spotty involvement in his daughter’s life, Stephen has been the only father she’s ever truly known. However, he’s also on the hook for years of physical and emotional abuse and intimidation of Mel B, so that complicates things — especially since there’s a standing restraining order to keep him away from her and all her daughters . Well, a judge granted Stephen visitation under VERY strict supervision — but only for his own daughter, 5-year-old Madison. As far as 10-year-old Angel Murphy Brown…the judge says he needs to keep his distance. Welp! It seemed like a stretch request anyway with all the abuse and sex extortion allegations floating around … Splash
