She sure is tossing those cakes around a lot for someone not looking for a bae… Amber Rose Says She Isn’t Ready To Date It may look like she’s advertising her cake-isolating skills for the next taker on Instagram, but Amber Rose swears she’s nowhere near ready to hop back out on the dating scene. When the question of new love came up on the red carpet for the first annual People Magazine awards , she said right now for her, it’s Wiz or nothing. Via HipHollywood : Amber Rose has no plans to go back on the market anytime soon. HipHollywood caught up with Rose on the red carpet for the People Magazine Awards where she told us she’s still heartbroken from her split with Wiz Khalifa, and can’t even think about being married again. “I’m not thinking about that right now,” Rose admitted. “If I’m not married to Wiz right now, I don’t want to be married. I don’t even want to date right now, I just want to get my heart back together.” Rose filed for divorce from Khalifa on September 24, 2014, after just one year of marriage. The mother and model cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the break-up. Rumors of infidelity had been swirling about both parties in the weeks leading up to the filing. Rose has been adamant that she did not cheat on Wiz despite rumors of a fling with her now manager Nick Cannon. Reports linked Wiz to several video models and porn stars, though he never responded to claims. But, since the split, he has hooked up, and shot a sex tape, with Playboy model Carla Howe. Boy does he move fast. Rose however doesn’t seemed phased by Wiz’s recent escapades, and just wants her family back together. Honestly, we don’t see how he let her go. Have you seen her latest twerk video? Honestly, this is the smartest answer we’ve heard in a minute! Too many people are out here hopping from person to person and not healing from their heartbreak in between. Take all the time you need Amber (and keep that Instagram poppin’ in the meantime)!!!
Some strong Black Matrimony-dom ??? Janay & Ray Rice New Video: Couple Kisses In Elevator Just After Domestic Abuse Incident Apparently there is even more footage from the night Ray Rice punched his then fiance Janay Palmer out cold in an Atlantic City elevator. Though the surviellance footage captures no sound, you can see the conflicting emotions the couple go through as they are questioned by police and handcuffed — first arguing in the lobby, then passionately kissing in the same elevator in which their case of extreme domestic violence occurred — while handcuffed and surrounded by police. Via NYPost : Bizarre new video shows Ray Rice and his fiancée – both with their hands cuffed behind their back – lovingly kissing not long after he knocked her cold inside an Atlantic City elevator. The surveillance video, obtained by ABC News, shows his now-wife Janay Palmer, at first shunning his efforts to speak to her as they both stood in an elevator in police custody after a boozy Valentine’s Day bash turned violent at the Revel Casino last Feb. 15. A weeping Janay nudged the brute away as he tried to approach her, the video shows, and hotel security at one point got between the warring lovebirds. But then Palmer – who admitted she was pie-eyed during the violent encounter – inexplicably started nuzzling and making out with the disgraced ex-NFL star, who earned Pro Bowl honors while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. Both were arrested though charges against Janay were dropped. Rice was barred from the league, a decision that was later overturned by an arbitrator. It’s insane how these two can go from such intense violence to strong physical passion in under an hour. SMH. ABC News
Wow…one rapper whose lyrics are 100% authentic. Bobby Shmurda Indicted As Suspected Narcotics Gang Leader Bobby Shmurda was taken into police custody yesterday on then-unspecified drug charges, spawning hilarious memes at his expens e. But now that the NYPD has released the details on his indictment, the matter may have just gotten very serious. Unfortunately, the Brooklyn rapper has spelled out some of the exact charges the NYPD is bringing against him — though he is still pleading not guilty. Via TMZ : Rapper Bobby Shmurda was a “driving force” in a gang that committed murders and other violent crimes … this according to NY prosecutors. Prosecutors from the NYC Special Narcotics Office just released their indictment, claiming more than 15 defendants committed a variety of crimes, including murder, attempted murder, assault and drug dealing. Bobby himself was charged with conspiracy to commit murder but not the murder itself and a few other weapon and drug charges. Bobby — who at one time called himself “Two Socks Bobby” — is charged with firing a gun at a group of people outside a barber shop. Prosecutors say “socks” is code for firearms. According to the indictment, members of the gang used other code words, including “suntan,” which means shooting someone. The complaint says Bobby confessed to a fellow gang member, “You know I suntan him and shot, do issues, you know what’s going on.” Prosecutors also say the ring dealt heavily in narcotics, with a pattern of violence that spread from Brooklyn to South Beach, Florida. The D.A. says the violence was so prevalent, it turned Brooklyn into a shooting gallery. Bobby pled not guilty to all charges Thursday in NYC. He’s being held on $2 million bail. Wow. When keeping it real goes wrong… TMZ
Damn homie… Mase Loses 1.5 Million Instagram Followers, Deletes Account The IG model’s worst nightmare, the dreaded Instagram cleanup has claimed its first celeb victim. ..the purchased patrons to his social media snaps were erased, taking him from over 2 million followers to under 300k. Life comes at you fast… Via Complex : Is that you, Betha? Is that you? Ever since retiring from rap, and coming back, and retiring, and coming back, etc., Ma$e hasn’t been able to string a couple of wins together. The former pastor took another loss today. Instagram felt like being petty and purged damn near everyone’s followers (something it warned us about), including celebrities. Not even the Good Lord could save his former servant from The Humbling. Screenshots say Betha went from 1.6 million IG followers to 272K in one fell swoop. And now he deleted his account because y’all had to get these jokes off. This is like the digital version of that sad ass concert he had in the U.K. not too long ago. Foxy tried to tell him that God don’t like ugly, but he didn’t listen. And to think, it was all good just a week ago when video surfaced of he and Puff dancing to “0 to 100.” Awww, don’t run Mase! You still had almost 300k real followers. Just a little bit more than your average stripper or Instagram boutique. That’s gotta be worth something…
