SMH at this broad. Didn’t Bow Wow tell her to quit Twitter a year and a half ago? While Bow Wow is still off the interwebs, sulking about his little “Who’s a hotter rapper/actor than me” faux pas , his mommy decided to hold him down by responding to a nasty rumor with these tweets: Here’s the thing though: when you read this blind item this morning, was Bow Wow even on your top ten of potential artists it could be? Way to go, Teresa.
Reality TV has been through lots of transformations over the past 20 years and more recently it has gotten more and more outrageous and out of control. The 15 minutes of fame has now turned into 30 minutes of fame twice a week on your favorite cable channel. Despite the growing exposure to these shows, there are still some personalities that have faded into obscurity and probably need to stay there. With that said, flip through the pages to see some of the most infamous reality TV characters that we are more than happy to have gone from our flatscreens. Which of these folks are you happiest to not see anymore?
The power of the P-U-*-*-Y A Bronx man stabbed his girlfriend to death on a balcony in full view of terrified neighbors Tuesday, then was shot by cops, police and witnesses said. The mayhem began about 8:30 a.m. when cops responded to a 911 call for a fight between the couple, identified by police sources as Terenace Williams and Frederick Mendez. The pair have a history of domestic violence incidents, police said. “When the argument started, everyone came outside,” said neighbor Tommy Brown, 38. “She didn’t want to have sex, she didn’t want to sleep with him. That’s what they were arguing about.” Cops arrived to find Mendez stabbing Williams and attempting to throw her off their third-floor apartment balcony on Needham Ave. in the Bronx, police said. “He had her by a headlock and kept stabbing her,” said neighbor Oscar Brinson, 47. “A woman kept saying, ‘Let her go!’ and he screamed, ‘No, she ruined my life!’” A cop fired at Mendez, hitting him two or three times, police sources said. Mendez screamed in pain and retreated into the apartment, locking himself inside. Cops on a neighboring balcony pulled Williams to safety. She was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, but could not be saved, cops said. Williams worked as a nurse, neighbors said. What’s sad is that it seems as if the folks in the building might have seen this coming… “That man is a crazy man,” said a neighbor across the hall from the couple who declined to give her name. “He was always so controlling. I told him to leave her alone all the time. He always complained about her, saying she’s a bad person.” All the women in this world and you trippin’ because one wouldn’t give you any?? That’s not playa, not playa at all… Source
The French production company that failed to distribute Spike Lee’s film “Miracle at St. Anna” has been hit with a big money fine by a Paris court. Now that’s one helluva ho sit down, wouldn’t you say? TF1 Droits Audiovisuels has been ordered to pay $46 million to producers of Miracle at St. Anna for failing to honor a contract to distribute the World War II picture internationally. The dispute centered on a 2007 agreement between TF1 and the On My Own production company. According to the terms of the contract, TF1 was scheduled to release the film in markets across the world with the exception of the United States, Canada and Italy. TF1 argued that Lee had delivered a different kind of film than the one it was promised and refused to hand over a nearly $16 million advance. Now, according to the AFP, a Paris court has found that TF1 is at fault for breaching the contract, ordering the company to pay nearly $29 million in damages, and more for moral prejudice. Spike Lee gets one million euros and James McBride, the author of the novel the film was based on, gets 200,000 euros. TFP also was ordered to pay to $18 million to BNP Paribas bank. Spike Lee don’t play that isht… Now they gotta pay EVEN MORE than they would have if they would have just returned the stinkin’ advance money. SMH. Source
After popping all that yang about how he wanted Laura Govan to get some reality TV checks so he could cut back on child support , Gilbert Arenas has had a change of heart. So now he’s borrowing a page out of the Dwight Howard/Chris Bosh book of Baby Mama Handling. According to reports, he has filed a lawsuit to stop Laura Govan from exploiting his image. The Orlando Magic guard has asked a judge to pull the plug on VH1′s “Basketball Wives: LA” before it even airs because the show stars Laura Govan, the mother of his four children. In his lawsuit, Arenas charged that “the very presence of defendent Govan and the title of the show is an obvious reference to [Arenas].” Even though Arenas will not be mentioned on the show, his name was used in a press release to promote “Basketball Wives: LA.” Not only does Arenas not want the show to air, he also wants money from Govan. Arenas isn’t the only Magic player with an ex on “Basketball Wives.” The mother of Dwight Howard’s son, Royce Reed, a former Magic and Miami Heat dancer, stars on the Florida version, which is currently in its third season. Howard has successfully blocked Reed from mentioning him or their child on-air. “Basketball Wives: LA” is set to air August 29 and will also star Kimsha Artest (wife of the Lakers’ Ron Artest), Govan’s sister Gloria Govan (fiancee of the Lakers’ Matt Barnes) and Jackie Christie (wife of former Clippers player Doug Christie). SMH, these two deserve each other: he’s acting like just as much of a bird as she does. Source

Just how far in the bottle was Nivea when she got arrested late Saturday night? She doesn’t remember the truth about what happened. Yesterday, Nivea took to twitter to defend herself and let all her concerned fans know she was good. Oh, and to curse out a blogger. Here’s the thing though: the Atlanta police officers who popped her don’t believe her any more than the rest of us do, according to TMZ . According to law enforcement sources … Nivea was on the road around 1:30 AM on Sunday when she plowed her ’06 Mercedes right into a tree that had fallen into the road during a recent storm. We’re told when cops arrived at the scene, Nivea had “bloodshot, glassy eyes and smelled like alcohol.” Nivea told police she only had 3 drinks earlier in the evening … and didn’t see the bright yellow crime tape and the traffic cones directing cars away from the downed tree. Nivea was eventually arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and reckless driving. We’re told the child in the car was not injured and was released to Nivea’s boyfriend. Yellow crime scene tape? Traffic cones?? A tree in the middle of the road??? What sober mom would have missed those or any other major hazard while her 18-month-old was in the car? Besides, since when are they holding people overnight for a $3000 bond for a car accident where no one was injured???
Oh boy… Word around Atlanta is that after all these months of standing by her trifling, scandalous husband , the first lady of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has quietly taken herself out of the picture. Well-placed spies for The Mo’Kelly Report and long-time members of New Birth are alleging that Vanessa Long, the First Lady of New Birth has moved out of the house, in fact taking one of the children with her due to the scandal. These are WELL-placed and trustworthy sources. Mo’Kelly has already reached out to New Birth to see if it has any official response or counter narrative. Don’t hold your breath if you expect New Birth to tell the truth and acknowledge any family disarray. The rumors of Mrs. Long’s move have been floating around since early last week, and the fact that no official statement or well crafted photo has appeared probably means something. Does anyone still think the good pastor is innocent? Source
What a foul piece of sh*t this guy is… Their marriage has become the subject of intense speculation and scrutiny amid an embarrassing online sex scandal. Now, Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin are about to make news of a different kind: they are expecting their first child. Ms. Abedin, 35, is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. The pregnancy, which the couple has disclosed to close friends and family, adds a new dimension to questions about the future of their marriage. Mr. Weiner, 46, who has admitted to engaging in salacious online conversations with at least six women over the last few years, has declared that he and his wife have no intention of splitting up, even though some of the exchanges occurred during their marriage. “We will weather this,” Mr. Weiner said on Monday, during his emotional news conference. “I love her very much, and she loves me.” We really didn’t think that this story could get any worse, but leave it to the Weinerman to prove us wrong, f*ckin’ scumbag. At least his wife works with Hillary Clinton, surely she can give her some advice about how to cope with this situation… Source Here is a picture of the apartment the the Weiner’s recently put up for sale. It kind of makes matters worse when you see the monogrammed pillows on the bed that they shared where Rep. Weiner probably sexted and tweeted…
