Fair Or Foul?? Keshia Knight Pulliam Fired From ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ For Not Asking Bill Cosby For A Big Donation

Keisha says she doesn’t have a relationship with Bill… Keisha Knight Pulliam Fired From Celebrity Apprentice For Not Calling Bill Cosby Via Vulture reports: Keshia Knight Pulliam — best known for her role as adorable little Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show — just made her debut as a contestant on reality-TV toxic-waste barge The Celebrity Apprentice…and hoo boy, did things get uncomfortable when Bill Cosby came up as a topic . The season premiere was filmed about a year ago, months before mounting rape allegations irrevocably ruined Cosby’s reputation. So when the cast found out they needed to contact rich friends in order to raise money for a bake sale, it’s understandable that Pulliam’s teammates leaned on her to call up her (as-of-then-relatively-untarnished) former TV dad. Pulliam (who was her team’s project manager) awkwardly declined, cryptically saying she opted instead to reach out to “people I felt can deliver the quickest.” Cosby went unmentioned for much of the rest of the episode. Then came the boardroom. The two teams were summoned to appear before Donald Trump and co-judges Ivanka Trump and Piers Morgan. Pulliam’s team had come up short in their fundraising, and her teammates took aim at her. What followed was an excruciating three minutes for anyone even vaguely aware of the Cosby rape scandal. The Trumps, Morgan, and Pulliam’s team took her to task for not calling Bill Cosby and asking him for money. “Did you call Bill?” the elder Trump asked her. “I did not,” Pulliam said, crying. “I have not talked to Bill Cosby on the phone in I don’t know how long. So for me to pick up the phone, having not talked to you for five years, except for when we run into each other for a Cosby event– I feel that’s not my place to do.” That defense wasn’t good enough for Trump, who went on to fire her, specifically because she refused to call Cosby. “I really believe, if you’d called that gentleman, he would’ve helped you, even if you hadn’t spoken to him in years,” Trump said, “because you were an amazing team with one of the most successful shows ever. So I think it would’ve been a very good call to make for charity. But you have to take responsibility. I think you agree with that.” What’s truly baffling here is why the show’s producers didn’t edit this stuff out, trim it down, or make some kind of statement about it beforehand. Sure, Cosby wasn’t a big topic a year ago, but he’s easily one of the most loathed celebrities in America right now. In light of everything we’ve heard in the past few months, it’s kind of insane to have an extended sequence where a female acquaintance of Bill Cosby’s gets fired from a job because she didn’t beg Bill Cosby to help her get ahead. Do you think Keisha should have called Bill??

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: $3 Billion Nigerian Woman Folorunsho Alakija Kicks Oprah Out Of Her “Richest Black Woman” Seat!

Bye Oprah !!! Nigerian Woman Folorunsho Alakija Becomes Richest Black Woman In The World Via Time reports: Oprah’s about $300 million short Oprah Winfrey is no longer the world’s richest black woman. That distinction now belongs to Nigerian oil baroness and fashionista Folorunsho Alakija. Alakija is worth at least $3.3 billion — about $300 million more than American television personality Oprah — Ventures Africa reports. The 62-year-old started her career as a secretary at the erstwhile Merchant Bank of Nigeria, but moved to England in the early 1980s to study fashion design. She then returned to her native country and set up a high-end label called Supreme Stitches. Although she amassed some wealth from the label, a significant proportion of Alakija’s fortune comes from an oil-exploration license granted to her company Famfa Ltd. in 1993. The 617,000-acre oil block would go on to become the highly lucrative OML 127, in which Alakija’s family retains a 60% stake. According to Ventures Africa, her assets include a real estate portfolio worth over $100 million and a $46 million private jet. This is so awesome! Congrats to all the money making women across the world!!!!!

No man would have stayed loyal in this game like me.” And Nicki‘s mom, Carol, backed her famous daughter by writing: “Safaree when you take on Nicki you take on me and the host of heaven.. Stop while you can SB!” But he went on the defense writing: “Im doing interviews about my s**t and s**t im promoting.. not 1 thing said im doing interviews about nicki. yall sound ridiculous (sic).” However, Minaj — who is known for her feisty lyrics — wasn’t impressed with his reply. In a recent Tweet she wrote: “Anything you don’t appreciate will be taken. God sees your ungrateful evil soul. I gave and gave and gave. Threatening me? Blackmail? Jump – Let me be happy now.
