Mehgan James Talks BBWLA Season 4 Basketball Wives LA is back in full swing, and the ladies are already smoothing over old issues and getting into new drama. With a new season comes some new cast members, one of whom we’ve already heard a little bit from on other reality shows and social media scandals . Mehgan James is already kicking up a bit of dust and becoming notorious for fiercely defending herself only four episodes in. Mehgan sat down exclusively with BOSSIP to recap some of the action from this season thus far, explain her feud with Draya Michele , and give a bit more insight to who she is behind the reality TV cameras. People know you far better from Bad Girls Club season 9 and are just getting to know you in the world of Basketball Wives. What are the major differences between the two experiences for you? Well the women, of course, are a little bit more mature. As far as the whole experience, filming BBWLA is more like a job, whereas Bad Girls’ Club was like jail. We had lights out, a curfew, we had to wake-up at a certain time, ask to do this, ask to do that. But, when filming Basketball Wives, you wake up, get your hair and makeup done, you film and then you go home. It’s more like real life than Bad Girls Club. Well, you definitely made a splash coming in. Your first major controversy with the group was the whole “is she or isn’t she friends with Jackie Christie?” question. Why did it seem like you were hiding from the other girls that you knew Jackie? My words were never “I do not know Jackie.” They asked me did I know anyone in LA, and generally, I didn’t. When you travel different places, of course you know OF people. You know people like how I know my hair and makeup artists — and of course, I did Bad Girls Club, and all of my producers live in LA — but I’m not about to go down the list of people that I know [in town] to some women that I barely know. Speaking of your conflicts, so many fans are saying that you pretty much jumped out of the gate coming for Draya. Did you have it out for her the moment you set foot in LA or were you open to befriending her before things went left? Well if you watch the first episode, shortly after Draya’s fashion show I walked over and congratulated her. I had a sit down meeting with her asking her about her line and how long she’s been designing. There’s a lot of stuff that people didn’t see due to editing, but I was very nice to her in the beginning, and it seems like she’s the one that had a chip on her shoulder from the time I got there. Why do you think she has a problem with you? I really don’t know. I would just think it’s because I’m new to the group, I’m the youngest in the group, and I feel like some people just don’t cope well with competition. Before I got there, Draya was the youngest in her group of “friends,” and I guess she was the most relevant — I came into Basketball Wives already with a fan base. So I think she might have been a little intimidated by that factor. What does Mehgan have to say about Draya coming after “her FUPA? ” Hit the flip to find out… Instagram
Kim Kardashian Flaunts New “Haircut” Kimmy Cakes hyped up a “big hair change” to all her Instagram fans a few days back, declaring that she was once again “over” her long locks and due for a Mommy-chop: After neglecting to show off her cut over the weekend, Kim finally gave her followers a before & after shot of her “hair cut” early this afternoon…revealing that she only chopped off about 3-4 inches: But seeing as how she cut her hair to THIS length back in February: And it “magically grew” about 6-7 inches about two months later, it seems pretty feasible that her hair would have simply grown back down to her new “cut” length 7 months later: Looks much more like she just removed her sew-in once her hair got back to the length she really wanted. But hey, far be it for us to nitpick! Hit the flip for more of Kim showing off her new shorter style and her growing baby bump while hopping a flight at LAX. SplashNews / Instagram

We had a brief moment when we thought Nicole Richie might have cut bangs — but it was just a wig. As it turns out, she had an even bigger hair change in store. The star attended a Daily Front Row event (and presented budding supermodel Gigi Hadid with the “model of the year” award) with a completely different look. Not only did she dye her hair fluorescent pink, but she also cut it to chin-length and added piecey bangs. When Richie went lavender about this time last year, she said it wa
Black Hooters Fired For Dying Hair Blonde Awarded $250k A former African-American Hooters waitress has been awarded more than $250,000 after an arbitrator found that racial discrimination contributed to her getting fired. Via NBC News reports: Farryn Johnson, was fired from her Baltimore restaurant job in August 2013 because “Hooters prohibits African-American Hooters Girls from wearing blond highlights in their hair,” according to a lawsuit. While other women were allowed to highlight their hair, the restaurant manager told Johnson she couldn’t be at work with blond streaks because it didn’t look “natural” on African-Americans, the suit said. “The manager at the time literally said, ‘You can’t have blond because black people don’t have blond hair,’” Johnson, who had worked at the restaurant for about a year, told NBC affiliate WBAL-TV in Baltimore. Johnson told the station her shifts were slashed and she received written warnings about her hair, and then ultimately, she was fired. “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it,” she said. Johnson sued, and last Thursday, an arbitrator awarded her more than $250,000 for lost wages and legal fees. Arbitrator Edmund D. Cooke Jr. wrote that Hooters violated state and federal civil rights laws and that the hair policy “was implemented in a discriminatory manner adversely affecting African-American women.” Hooters criticized the ruling in a lengthy statement on its website, claiming the restaurant never told Johnson she couldn’t wear her hair a certain way. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” the statement said, calling the arbitrator’s decision “flawed.” Ericka Whitaker, senior brand manager of Hooters of America, said in the statement, “As a former Hooters Girl who happens to be African-American, I, like countless other African-American Hooters Girls today, regularly wore my hair in various shades of blond, or any other color consistent with our ‘girl next door’ image.” The restaurant chain also called reports of Johnson receiving $250,000 in back pay exaggerated. Do you think the waitress should have been awarded $250k just because she dyed her hair blonde??
Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 7 featured the exorcism of the cast’s personal demons … or at least that was the idea behind this latest installment. For the increasingly unhinged Spencer Pratt, this took on a new meaning, and may have worked a little too well, as it nearly turned him into a demon. Watch Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 7 Online The gist of Marriage Boot Camp Season 2 Episode 7 was helping the celebrity (term used loosely) couples find out if they still have a future together. Jim and Elizabeth Carroll examined their relationships by putting them through a tough challenge: coming face-to-face with their personal demons. As you can see when you watch Marriage Boot Camp online , emotions ran high when the cast members were forced to take a hard look at themselves. Syleena Johnson admits that she was molested as a child. Heidi Montag opens up about being molested several times as a very young child, too. Aviva Drescher talks impersonally about the childhood accident that caused her to lose a leg. She shows no emotion or interest in opening up, however. The other stars feel like Aviva isn’t going all in. Jim has the same feeling about Spencer Pratt , who unlike Aviva, admits he has his guard up a little. Or a lot. Pratt is still smarting over the fact that he feels he was RUINED by a reality TV producer who cast him as the “villain” on MTV’s The Hills . “I have to be extra guarded now, Spencer Pratt tells Jim, because of his fear that his persona will be abused and “manipulated by reality TV producers.” “Do you think the producers here want to do that?” Jim asks, genuinely. “I have suspicions,” Spencer replies, even though he signed up for this. The Marriage Boot Camp stars are then forced to admit who in their life has hurt them the most and must choose between two doors, Forgive or Forget. Syleena chooses to forgive her father, and when she walks through the door, he is standing on the other side … and takes no responsibility for anything. Wow. Heidi Montag admits she’s still bitter at none other than Lauren Conrad , and a therapist stands in for LC, who admits being a really bad friend. Finally, Spencer had to confront the producer he says destroyed his life, past and future … played by Jim Carroll, who was REALLY egging him on! Pratt ultimately forgives the producer, but for a moment it really looked like he had lost touch with reality and was going to cold cock Jim on the spot.
