No Amanda, we think you need more of your “medicine” before they let you loose. Amanda Bynes Fights For Her Freedom According to TMZ Amanda Bynes will be in court Friday –TMZ has learned — and we’re told she will mount a ferocious fight for her freedom. Sources involved in the case tell TMZ … Amanda will be transported from the psychiatric hospital — where she’s been staying against her will for the last 2 weeks — to a courthouse where her parents will be asking a judge for a temporary conservatorship. We’re told Amanda will be transported by a hospital vehicle and accompanied by her lawyer. The only snag would be if Amanda goes off the rails before the hearing. Sources tell us Amanda will be speaking with the judge — possibly in chambers — so he can get a read on her mental competency. If the parents prevail, the temporary conservatorship will last until Sept. 30, when a full-blown conservatorship hearing will take place. If the parents get their way, Amanda will go back to the psych ward for further treatment. If Amanda prevails, she will walk out of the courthouse a free woman. Somewhere Drake is laughing.

To many women, the “big chop” is a major step (in life) that either works out beautifully or terribly depending on head shape and face strongness.Either way, Bey Bey wins because her edgy cut is ALL anyone is talking about. Here’s a photo gallery of bold female celebs who chopped off their signature locks. Take a look.
Dear Bossip , I just read your response to “Dumb Educated Bird,” and it really touched me. I can somewhat relate to her story! I’m an Ivy League alumni with four degrees and I’m making almost six figures as a 27 year old. My issue is that I’m in my 20s, not married, no kids, and live alone. I am an attractive female, but I tend to attract men who I cannot relate with. I tend to attract very handsome BASIC men (e.g. high school dropouts, no college education, the unemployed, drug addicts, gangsters, baby daddies, minimum wage working men, etc), UGLY educated men, or non-black educated men. I also attract professional actors, athletes, and artists. I remain friends with some of these men because I know in my heart I will never be emotionally attached to them because I cannot relate to them and they’re just not my type. I find myself VERY attracted to corporate black men because we share so much in common (e.g. work ethic, career goals, education, ambition, morals, etc). I met a couple, but they were either into non-black woman, “suspect,” married, or had a girlfriend. I haven’t been in a serious relationship in seven years and it’s starting to bother me. I just don’t want to settle for something less and end up like “Dumb Educated Bird.” What would be your advice? – Lonely Girl Dear Ms. Lonely Girl, This is perplexing, and I know the dating scene may seem daunting and cumbersome, however, I wonder if your standards may be too high, or, if you’re not willing to expand your dating horizons. Granted, you deserve to have a man to match you on every level (e.g. work ethic, career goals, education, ambition, morals, etc.), however, what happens when a man doesn’t meet one of your requirements? Do you quickly throw him to the waste side because he’s lacking in one area? What if he doesn’t have four degrees, but have two? What if his career goals are not to be CEO, but he is content being a senior level manager? What if he doesn’t want to have children? What if he has all of the requirements but may be slightly overweight, not that attractive, or non-black? I think if you relax on your expectations that you will meet some really great men, and who knows what they may bring to the table. Yes, you deserve quality, and if they are quality men, then why discount them if he is blue collar worker? You didn’t mention what city you lived in, and how you tend to meet these handsome BASIC men, but I wonder if it has something to do with where you’re socializing. I’m sure that a very attractive woman such as yourself with an Ivy League education, four degrees, making nearly six figures, with no kids, living alone, and not married must be socializing in the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard, or perhaps the Cayman Islands. I know the number of invitations you receive to high society events at various museums, Operas, charity balls, and black tie events surely must introduce you to some very handsome, smart, educated, career-oriented, ambitious, available corporate black men. (I’m being snarky). These Hollywood movies are going to get some of you women in trouble. I swear you watch these movies and think that is how life really is. The beautiful executive woman meets a gorgeous handsome corporate man and fall in love and live happily ever after. Hold out for that if you want, and you will continue to find yourself alone. So, here’s what you can do: All of those men you have as friends that you were not attracted to, well, I’m certain they have male friends. If you receive an invitation to hang out with any one of them and a group of his friends, then invite some of your girl friends and go hang out. It will open your access to the dating pool of men, and you never know who he may know, or who one of his friends may happen to bring with them. Next, don’t discount non-black men. Keep your options open. Love doesn’t come in colors, so to eliminate a pool of available men based on color only limits you. Besides, there is nothing wrong with dating men of various races and ethnicities. Even if it doesn’t work out, if they are corporate men and very successful, then I’m certain they may have friends who are black. And, who knows what access he may have to available attractive black men. So, don’t limit yourself. Then, I don’t know what’s wrong with the artists, athletes, and actors. Rapper Ludacris is dating an educated smart woman who is not in the industry. They seem to have a great relationship, and appear to be in love. Besides, I know most artists, athletes, and actors prefer to date someone who is not in their field. Now, some athletes, well, yeah, they love attention, and tend not to be monogamous. However, again, keep in mind that they have friends, especially if they are successful in their own careers. I’m sure they socialize and know of some successful, smart, and educated men who are available. Finally, change your social scene. Expand your horizons, and attend more events where you are most likely to meet successful, corporate, educated men. I’m certain there are a plethora of men you can find at these events, and gatherings. There are plenty of smart, educated, and good looking men in various historically black fraternities, and they are active in the graduate chapters of these fraternities. And, I’m certain they host a number of events throughout the year in your city. Also, historically black sororities tend to host events, and many men attend these events as well. Check out these gatherings, parties, and events. And, I strongly suggest partnering and volunteering with corporate companies that are active in communities. Many men come out for these volunteer opportunities. And, finally, it’s time to attend some of the philanthropic and humanitarian events. These tend to bring out the elite, rich, educated, and society people. The man you seek may very well be in one of these places. But, it’s up to you to put yourself out there and open your horizons. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Someone has been reading BOSSIP! Miley Cyrus is twerking and rapping and making “bangerz” not exactly the way we’d use the lingo but it’s interesting watching her fully embrace hip-hop culture with this upcoming project. Via Entertainment Weekly reports : To promote her upcoming album, Katy Perry has been posting clever videos promising a new, streamlined persona. To promote her upcoming album, Lady Gaga posted a video in which she gets her septum pierced. And then there’s Miley Cyrus, who simply tweeted the title of her own soon-to-be-released disc. “If you don’t know why my record is called BANGERZ you’ll know as soon as you hear it,” Cyrus posted. “Nothin but #BANGERZ.” Astute readers will notice that she is spelling that title with a Z at the end, rather than an S. “Bangers” might work for an album made by her father, but for Miley Cyrus, only a Z will do. (Incidentally, she’s considering going the full Miley and dropping her dad’s name entirely.) If “We Can’t Stop” is any indication, “BANGERZ” should deliver on its title — and it looks like we may have an additional nine seconds by which to judge the album. A recent leak—titled “Bangerz” and billed to Miley and Britney Spears—sounds as rugged as we’d hope from twerk-era Miley. Whether or not the female voice belongs to Britney or Miley (or someone else entirely) we obviously can’t say for sure, but it would certainly make sense for M. to recruit B., that “one person” in her life “who gets it.” What is “it,” exactly? We’ll just have to wait for BANGERZ to find out. Not sure if we’re all the way sold on Miley the “hip-pop” star. Are you? Check out Mike Will Made It discussing Miley’s song “Stand By Me” feat. Future below: And it looks like Future isn’t the only one who is in the studio with Miley these days… Hit the flip for photos of her and Mike Will Made It with Pharrell and to check out a snippet of her Juicy J/Wiz Khalifa collabo “23″.
Drizzy calls other rappers out! Drake Calls Out Rappers For Fake Thug Image Drake recently chatted with XXL mag about his new album and just because he is a rapper, Drizzy says he never felt like he had to change up his image. Aubrey calls out other rappers for faking their gangster images: “Do I think that if I didn’t have, for lack of a better term, a unique look about me, if I was from somewhere in America and if I hadn’t been on a kids TV show [Degrassi: The Next Generation], would I be as famous? I don’t know, man. Honestly, I don’t think so. I was just some young kid on a TV show. And I haven’t become anything else while I’ve been in this position. It’s not like I got here and was like, “Oh, got to switch up my image.” I don’t wake up nervous. I feel like maybe a lot of these guys do. How old are you, really? What is your background, really? What have you really done in the drug game, in the thug game?” He continued… “It’s tough for me. That’s a guy I can’t pretend not to like. He’s the guy to me, in a lot of ways. That’s Kanye West. But I’m also here to be the best. I’m here to surpass. I’m here to outdo. I’m ready for whatever with anybody.” Started from Degrassi, now he’s here.
Rihanna is aiming at her pedestal. Rihanna Surpasses Janet For Most Number One Dance Singles Rihanna bodied Ciara on Twitter and now she’s bodying Janet’s dance single record. Janet, it’s ok girl. We still love us some “Velvet Rope.” According to Rhymes With Snitch Rihanna surpasses Janet Jackson for most No.1 Dance Singles… This week Rihanna’s single “Right Now” made it to No. 1 on the dance charts marking her 20th No.1 Dance Single, surpassing Janet Jackson’s previous record of 19. Rihanna is second only to Madonna who owns the top spot with 43 No. 1s. Rihanna may have surpassed Janet’s record, but she won’t surpass her in dancing. Besides twerking to Drake, Ri Ri can be kind of stiff. Continue reading →
Dayum, she went there with Kris Jenner . Kim Kardashian’s Ex-Stepmom Sues For Defamation The stepmom better be careful. If Kanye, Lamar and Kris come to see her, it’s a wrap. According to TMZ Kim Kardashian’s ex-stepmom Ellen Kardashian has just sued Kris Jenner and the Kardashian sisters for defamation, claiming the K-fam is on a mission to make her look like a bitter gold digger — when they’re the ones who should be ashamed of themselves. Ellen filed the suit against Kris, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Rob, and even Ryan Seacrest Productions — insisting the girls and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” producers attempted to ensnare her in a recent plot line on the show, involving a private investigator attempting to hawk damaging information about the Kardashians. According to the lawsuit, the investigator attempted to sell the information to Ellen — in order to make her look like some kind of black mailing scumbag — but Ellen refused to take the bait. Ellen says the Kardashians trashed her on the show anyway, making up lies about her to fit their anti-Ellen agenda, such as accusing Ellen of marrying Kim’s dad Robert Kardashian for his money — and Ellen’s lawsuit gets downright nasty. Ellen — who was married to Robert Kardashian before he died — calls Kris Jenner a “manipulative and devious mother and ex-wife who simply used and exploited her children.” She also calls the family’s careers meaningless. FYI, the feud between Ellen and the Kardashians has been raging for years … it’s nothing new. Ellen is suing for unspecified damages. Calls to the Kardashians weren’t returned. Do you think she will win?
