R&Beef? Did Meelah Williams Let Faith Evans’ Husband Smash Her ‘R&B Divas’ Cakes To Smithereens?! [Video]

      Musiq Soulchild’s baby mama did whaaaaaaat? Meelah Williams Asked If She’s Ever Slept With Faith Evans’ Husband Todd TV One’s “R&B Divas” reunion is off to an explosive start thanks to Wendy Williams who’s asking some pretty crazy questions to the cast of singers. On part one of the reunion, things got especially heated when Williams asked Meelah of 702 fame about her ex-manager Todd who also happens to be the husband of Faith Evans. Before the latest season of “R&B Divas”, rumors were circulating that the Meelah and Faith had a “falling out” because of an inappropriate relationship between Todd and the 90s songstress. “That was my manager and before he was my manager, he’s like family. No,” said Williams about the chop down rumors. She then denied reports that her “friendship” with Evans had ended. “Who said it ended? I didn’t get the show from her, but there’s no beef.” Check out a clip from the reunion below.Do you believe Meelah???? She seems like a nice girl, we highly doubt there’s truth to that rumor.Your browser does not support iframes.

Race Matters: Don Lemon’s July 4th Message Tells Blacks, Asians And Hispanics “Don’t Be An American With A Prefix”

Don’t be an “African-American” this 4th of July ! Be an American… Don Lemon Tells Minorities Just To Be An American This Independence Day Via Mediaite reports: Inspired by the unity he saw on display this week surrounding the World Cup, CNN’s Don Lemon decided to use his regular radio appearance on The Tom Joyner Morning Show to deliver an Independence Day challenge to Americans of all races and ethnicities. Despite Team USA’s loss on Tuesday, Lemon said they “taught us about what it means to be an American, to be a real patriot.” He said, “what they did as a disparate team of brothers unwittingly inspired Americans to come together to actually socialize with each other, in person and not on some electronic device.” As we demonstrated during last week’s game against Germany, CNN’s newsroom was one of many that seemed to stop what they were doing to come together and watch the matches. “They forgot about their cellphones and computers and most of all their perceived stations in life and were looking each other in the eyes and communicating without pretense and a keyboard,” he said of his colleagues. The display showed Lemon that Americans “aren’t as divided as we think we are,” adding, “More often than not we think of ourselves as black, white, Asian and Hispanic when the real America is so much more than that.” “Think about just how much we’d get accomplished if we collectively viewed the people with whom we came into contact as just an American and not an American with a prefix,” he said. “If we did it for something arguably as trivial as a sporting event, surely we can do it for something as important as democracy — just as our founders did 238 years ago this week. Something to think about on this Independence Day.” Discuss….

A Well Deserved Ho Sit Down: Judge Throws Out George Zimmerman’s Lawsuit Against NBC

Nice try big guy ! George Zimmerman’s Libel Lawsuit Against NBC Thrown Out The same judge that presided over George Zimmerman’s trial recently dismissed his claims that NBC falsely portrayed him as a racist by shortening  clips of him calling 911 the night he murdered Trayvon Martin. The Orlando Sentinel reports: Circuit Judge Debra S. Nelson ruled that the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer is entitled to no money from the media giant. She issued a summary judgment in the network’s favor, meaning that unless an appeals court reverses her, the case is now dead. Zimmerman had filed suit two years ago, accusing NBC of falsely portraying him as a racist in a series of broadcasts shortly after he killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, in Sanford. Editors shortened audio from a 911 call Zimmerman made to a police dispatcher the night of the shooting, making it sound as if Zimmerman volunteered that Trayvon was black and that he racially profiled the Miami Gardens teenager. In addition, Zimmerman accused the news organization of defaming him in a separate broadcast by falsely reporting that he used a racial epithet in the same call. The network fired two employees who were involved in the edits and made a public apology. At a hearing June 19, NBC attorney Lee Levine asked the judge to end the suit with a judgment in the network’s favor. Zimmerman is a public figure, Levine said, and could not prove that he was the victim of “actual malice”, meaning that NBC employees either knew what they reported was false or had serious misgivings about it. In her ruling, issued shortly before 9 a.m. today, Nelson wrote that that’s where Zimmerman’s suit fell apart. “There exists absolutely no clear and convincing evidence that defendants knew that the information published was false at the time it was published, or recklessly disregarded the truth or falsity of those statements. …,” she wrote. Zimmerman also alleged that the network intentionally inflicted emotional distress. Nelson shot down that claim, too.   Sucksssssss to be you….loser!

“Hollywood Exes” Star Andrea Kelly Says Shady Ex-Hubby R. Kelly Needs To Support Transgender Daughter

Does R.Kelly support his transsexual daughter ?? Andrea Kelly Says Ex-Hubby R. Kelly Needs To Support Transsexual Daughter R. Kelly and “Hollywood Exes” Star Andrea Kelly’s youngest daughter has come forward with her decision to transition from female to male. Internet rumors had been bubbling about the 13-year-old for a number of weeks after she was seen wearing men’s clothing on social media sites. Jaya transformed into Jay and now how her mother reality star Andrea Kelly is opening up about her son: Via VH1 reports: All I can say about Jay is he makes it so easy to be a proud mom. For parents, we need to realize, [our kids] have their own journey. Parents get it wrong when they don’t support their children. They have to go out and fight every day and face this world. The first battle should not be at home. I think that a lot of children in the LGBT community don’t succeed because the one thing they need the most is foundation. I just tell Jay all the time, baby you won the war. You’re gonna have a lot of battles but you won the war. Mama accepts and loves you for who you are. Your family does. My dad is a retired military naval officer and all he said was, “I’m gonna mess up sometimes and [use the feminine pronoun] ‘she’ but I’m gonna eventually get the ‘he’ thing. Just give grandpa some time. I’m gonna get it dude.” That was it. It’s pretty remarkable for a 14-year-old to be so open publicly. I mean that takes some courage. It’s like Jay; you don’t understand that you’re changing people’s lives just by being courageous. The kid is so courageous. She has…and see, there I go [using the wrong pronoun]. It’s a learning experience. It really is. It’s something we smile about. When I make that mistake I’m like, “Girl, you got a son, honey, get it together. Get it right.” [Laughs] Being R.Kelly and your child, there has been a lot of attention surrounding Jay coming out as trans. Was that surprising to your family? You know it took a minute for that to click in my head. Then I have to stop and come back and say, in the urban community this is like a first. [For my family] this isn’t this shocking thing. I need [people], especially in the black community, to stop burying their heads in the sand. Let’s quit playing that game that you just chose to be gay or trans. What we choose every day is what we wear. We need to stop worrying about people’s gender and sexuality and think about the choices we’re making with our youth, period. That’s what we need to focus on in my community. Do you think R.Kelly should full embrace his daughter’s huge transformation?? IG

Ain’t Isht Daddies: Georgia Man Sexted With 6 Women And 16-Year-Old Girl While Baby Died In Hot Car

A Georgia man charged with murder in the hot car death of his 22-month-old child was living a double life , a detective testified Thursday. Georgia Man Sexted With Women While Son Died In Hot Car Via USA Today reports: Cobb County Police Detective Phil Stoddard testified at a probable cause hearing that Justin Ross Harris was sexting with several women on the day of his son’s death and there were two life insurance policies on his son, Cooper. Stoddard described the evidence police have suggesting Harris, who also is charged with child cruelty, killed Cooper intentionally. Harris and his wife had two life insurance policies for the toddler, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000. Furthermore, Harris’ wife had become unhappy with her husband’s spending habits, Stoddard said. A woman whom Harris was sexting with, said that Harris “wanted to hook up.” Several explicit pictures were sent, beginning in the morning and lasting throughout the day,according to Stoddard said. Maddox Kilgore, Harris’ attorney, objected to the questions about the sexting, but the district attorney said that would show Harris was in an unhappy marriage and wanted a “childless life.” Stoddard also testified that Harris had accessed websites advocating “child free” and searched “how to survive prison” before Cooper died. “I think the evidence now is showing intent,” Stoddard said, explaining why he thought Harris should be denied bond. Stoddard said Harris was a “flight risk,” because there was evidence of a double life, Harris had family in Alabama and that Harris had said he had law enforcement experience. Harris has told police he was supposed to drive his son to day care the morning of June 18 but drove to work without realizing that his son was strapped into a car seat in the back. This ain’t isht dad will have to live with his fatal mistake for the rest of his life. So, he was sexting with women and forgot about his son?? Something doesn’t add up!

Hi Hater? Martina Navratilova Doesn’t Believe Serena Williams “Retired” From Wimbledon Doubles Match Becaue Of A Virus

Dang, it’s sounding like people think Serena’s a sore loser. .. Martina Navratilova Says She Doesn’t Believe Serena Williams Had Virus At Wimbledon As time continues to pass without comment from Serena Williams’ camp following her default during her and Venus’ doubles match Tuesday, tennis insiders are questioning the virus used to excuse her strange behavior. According to ESPNW reports: The official cause of Williams’ withdrawal from her second-round doubles match with partner and sister Venus on Tuesday was termed a “viral illness,” but that has been a source of rampant speculation. “I find it distressing,” said Martina Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon singles champion (with 20 titles here, including doubles and mixed doubles) and Tennis Channel analyst. “I think virus, whatever they’re saying it was, I don’t think that was it. I think it’s clear that’s not the case. I don’t know what it is, but I hope Serena will be OK. And most of all, I don’t know how she ended up walking onto the court.” Attempts to reach Williams’ agent, Jill Smoller, were unsuccessful. The Williams sisters defaulted their match against Kristina Barrois and Stefanie Voegele after four double faults by Serena, who, unsteady on her feet, was unable to bounce, toss or serve the ball. After a few words with the umpire, who came off his chair to talk, she played one more point and then retired. She took her sister’s hand, sat down and was examined by medical personnel. The start of the match had also been delayed by 14 minutes while a tournament doctor checked on her. Barrois said she was able to tell immediately that something was wrong. “Barrois said after the first hit in warm-up, [Williams] wasn’t able to hit the ball over the net,” ESPN analyst and former player Pam Shriver said of an interview Wednesday morning. “I asked her what they were being told, and she said they were just told Serena was being evaluated.” Barrois and Voegele turned down interview requests by American reporters after their third-round loss Wednesday because they did not want to answer questions about Williams. On Wednesday, the WTA reported that the medical staff from Wimbledon and the WTA checked on Serena in the morning at the home where she is staying and that “she is resting there and feeling slightly better.” “It’s the most inexplicable thing of all that she was clearly in no state to play a match and that with all the people around her, that they didn’t stop her from getting on the court,” Navratilova said. She has a point there. Why would Serena be allowed to play at all if she had a virus and couldn’t even hit a ball over the net? To further add to the confusion, Serena’s coach said he had not seen her in the days before the match. Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, told reporters he had not seen Serena in two days. Williams, a five-time singles champion here and the tournament’s top seed, was upset Saturday in the third round of singles by No. 25 Alize Cornet. “I’ve never seen anything like it and hopefully never will again,” Navratilova said. “Everybody was put in such a difficult position, including the WTA. It’s not right. It defies logic on so many fronts. The coach said he hadn’t seen her for two days. He didn’t know anything. How can you be a coach and not know anything? That’s wrong. And Venus was just kind of there. You don’t know what’s going on, but virus was not it, that much is clear.” Observers, including friends and family, were reported as saying that Williams was distressed after the singles loss. Navratilova, who was No. 1 in the world for a total of 332 weeks in singles and a record 237 weeks in doubles, agreed it was not uncommon for a top player to want to be alone after a big loss. “[But] why would it take two days?” she said. “Either you go home or default. I would expect a default before you play. But once you step onto the court, you’re a professional tennis player, you’ve got to be ready to play. No matter what is ailing you or no matter if you did anything to get you in that state or you’re sick or whatever, you don’t step on the court. You don’t step on the court no matter what.” SMH. Do you think Martina Navratilova is being a hater, or is she just keeping it real?

BOSSIP Exclusive: Evelyn Lozada Explains How Antoine Walker’s Creditors Came After Her Reality TV Checks!

Evelyn’s success actually cost her in this case… Evelyn Lozada Paid Settlement As Part Of Ex Fiancé’s Bankruptcy Earlier this week reports hit the web that Evelyn Lozada settled a lawsuit in regards to debts her ex-fiancé former NBA player Antoine Walker owed when he filed bankruptcy. According to Jasmine Brand reports , Evelyn was hit with a lawsuit by the trustee of her ex-fiance Antoine Walker’s bankruptcy case, who accused the reality star of being sent a series of bank wires by her ex over the years totaling over $600,000 — money the trustee believes should have gone to his debts. Lozada settled the case last year for $40,000. BOSSIP spoke with Evelyn Lozada exclusively to get the details on exactly what happened and not only did she reveal inconsistencies in the amount she reportedly owed, she also denied claims that she was aware of Walker’s dire financial situation and that money he sent her was used to start her shoe business! “That’s not true,” Evelyn told BOSSIP exclusively. “When we were in the process of breaking up, it was one of those long breakups, I started doing what I needed to do and saving my money because I wanted to open the store. It’s not like he ever said here is a lump sum to open the store. That never happened.” As for the other details about the settlement that were made public this week, Lozada is most concerned that she’s being portrayed as someone who intentionally set out to help Walker hide his money. On the contrary, she says she had no idea Walker was in financial trouble at all during their relationship. “This is the reality of it,” Lozada told BOSSIP exclusively. “When I received the legal papers in regards to this case, I was at a photo shoot with my ex when my ex-business partner told me some papers were being sent in regards to my ex-fiancé. I didn’t understand what I would have to do with his bankruptcies, aside from me being with him for ten years, because I had no inkling what was going on. At the end of the day it was his money.” Without any insight into Walker’s accounts, Lozada had been carrying on as any other athlete’s wife or girlfriend would have. “When we received the papers they thought I should have known, but the wires went all the way back in 2006,” Lozada reveals. “That was when he played in Miami, life was great for us, we had just gotten engaged. I would do things that any fianceé would do, like pay certain household bills. He had his own financial people. I didn’t do anything more than what most athlete’s wives do, most of them take care of the house and the kids and they take care of their man, it’s not easy. Even just talking to my friends who are married, they’re like, ‘What? This could happen to me?’ I’m like ‘Yes, if your man ever files bankruptcy they can come after you.” “It’s like when you’re with somebody for so long… I worked for three years and life started to get crazy, I was traveling all the time and he did the same thing everyone did with their wife/fiancees.” Hit the flip for more from Evelyn about how she made the decision to settle the lawsuit against her and why she was so upset about how her role in the matter has been portrayed.

Drugs Are Bad M’kay: Spanish Authorities Fear Outbreak Of Face-Eating “Cannibal” Drug In Texas

Bath salts back poppin’? Police Report Trend Of Increased Sales Of Bath Salts In Spain And Texas Via NYDailyNews Tourists visiting Ibiza are being sold a drug linked to the horrendous cannibal attack on a homeless man in Florida, it’s claimed. Cops on the Spanish party island have launched a severe crackdown on powerful Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) – after an outbreak of extreme violence among takers. The hallucinogenic narcotic – dubbed “Cannibal” – was blamed for the sickening assault carried out by Rudy Eugene, 31, on vagrant Ronald Poppo, 65, in Miami in June 2012. Police were forced to shoot Eugene dead after he devoured three-quarters of his victim’s face while high on the bath salts substance. Spanish authorities are worried that the drug has made it across the Atlantic – and is being taken in copious amounts in the popular resort of San Antonio. Hospital staff treated several British tourists they thought were acting “more like zombies” than patients over a 4 day period, according to Diario de Ibiza. “One patient was extremely aggressive so he was handcuffed,” Matilde Fernández, nurse at a San Antonio Health Centre, told the newspaper. “Several police officers tried to hold him down on the stretcher, he ended up on the floor and then he bit the hand of one of the officers,” she said.
