The Real Housewives of Atlanta is losing an original cast member. Sheree Whitfield tells Wet Paint she’s exiting the series after four difficult seasons as a Bravo star. And, as you can tell by her statement below, she’s doing it with her ego fully intact: “After four solid seasons of helping Bravo build the show into its most successful Housewives franchise, I have decided to leave. The direction the show is going in is no longer a fit for my lifestyle. I’m tired of the fighting and the cattiness. “I want to be part of something that empowers and inspires women to not only be healthy, but to treat themselves with respect. I wish the rest of the women the best of luck.” During the recently-wrapped fourth season, Whitfield battled with her ex for child support, while she has memorably clashed over the years with castmates NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak. Will you miss Sheree on The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Rihanna Is Obsessed With Gwyneth Paltrow And Jealous Of Her Body Really, RihRih??? Rihanna is ”obsessed” with Gwyneth Paltrow. The ‘You Da One’ singer is a huge fan of the Oscar-winning actress and says she’s very envious of her lifestyle and her amazing body. She said: ”I’m obsessed with Gwyneth. Honestly, what is it not? It makes me so jealous all the time … her body … I’m really jealous of her, I don’t even know why I like her.” As well as being impressed with Gwyneth, Rihanna was very flattered when the blond beauty’s husband Chris Martin covered her song ‘We found Love’ with his band Coldplay. ”I know Coldplay, we collaborated together, we worked in the studio, shot a video just recently.” The 23-year-old pop beauty – who recorded the duet ‘Princess of China’ with the band – also spoke about posing in her underwear and say she only feels confident about it because she knows the images will be Photoshopped. When asked if she was comfortable being in her underwear, Rihanna said: ”Totally, especially when it’s Photoshopped. I’m comfortable in my underwear around the right people.” We hope this is some fugazi azz quote or something, because Rihanna is trippin’ if she is “jealous” of Gwyneth Paltrow’s body (or lack there of)… Source More On Bossip!

It’s a witch hunt. That’s what Bill O’Reilly has to say about the movement by One Million Moms – a conservative organization, from which no member agreed to appear on Fox News last night – to pressure JC Penny into firing its new spokesperson, Ellen DeGeneres. The group takes issue with Ellen being an openly gay celebrity, as O’Reilly Factor guest Sandy Rios defended its actions by saying “people that believe marriage is between a man and woman and children should not be exposed to propagandized homosexuality.” O’Reilly response? That’s fine. Don’t shop at JC Penny then. But to actively push for a private company to fire an American citizen based on her lifestyle? That’s just wrong. It’s McCarthyism. Watch the segment below and then express your opinion: Bill O’Reilly Argues in Favor of Ellen, Company Rights Should JC Penny fire Ellen DeGeneres?
Celebrity chef Paula Deen is, quite predictably, being called a hypocrite both for hiding her diabetes while promoting unhealthy foods and for turning around and partnering with a pharmaceutical drug company that provides relief for diabetics. Deen, a popular Food Network host, confirmed Tuesday that she was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, three years ago. In the same breath, she announced a partnership with drug maker Novo Nordisk. Fellow celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is perhaps her best known and most vocal critic, but diabetics across the United States are up in arms at Deen’s disclosure. “It is hypocritical [for Paula] to have continued to very publicly promote entirely unhealthy food choices so vital to the management of diabetes,” one told Fox411. “We of course don’t know the terms of her contract with the company, but it seems either stupid or hypocritical of them to be endorsing her lifestyle,” says another. Deen gave no comment when it was requested, but a source close to the network tells Fox411 that they found out about Deen’s condition only a week ago. Some of Deen’s fans expressed outrage that the 65-year-old chef had found what they believe is a way to capitalize on a diagnosis she kept secret for so long. “I understand she has an empire and a huge following to protect, but working with Novo Nordisk is just adding another revenue stream, and that is tweaking people like me who are in the diabetes education community,” said Carl Moore. Moore, a type 2 diabetic and an educator on diabetic issues, said the news didn’t exactly come as a surprise to him and others with the disease. “Many of us have watched the Buttuh Queen for years cooking with no thought for the consequences and waiting to hear she was diabetic,” he said. Betsy Lampe, who has struggled with type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years, said Deen has already missed her first opportunity to educate victims. “She didn’t tell us anything on the ‘Today Show’; she got really defensive,” Lampe said. “She didn’t even tell us what her blood sugars were.” “You know, diabetics want to entertain and cook too. If I were her I would have announced a whole new show for entertaining as a diabetic. It was just offensive to me. “She kept talking about moderation, but moderation in what? She didn’t explain.” “She is overweight and that makes her, in my opinion, not credible or valid to promote diabetes drugs,” adds Richard Deems, a type 2 diabetic like Deen . The American Diabetes Association, however, was supportive of the Southern chef. “People may benefit from seeing how others successfully manage type 2 diabetes,” the group said in a statement. “Paula Deen, through her work with Diabetes in a New Light, is likely to inspire many people living with type 2 diabetes.” Hopefully, the group says, people will “take a more positive approach to their diabetes care. We commend her for speaking out on behalf of people with type 2 diabetes and welcome her to the Association’s Stop Diabetes movement.”
Vogue Italia recently profiled Solange and her impeccable style. She reveals to the magazine her favorite fashion designers, must-have items, sources of inspiration, meaning of success, personal motto, favorite songs, beauty routine…and of course, a bit about love. Must-have wardrobe items Vibrant colors and print fabrics. High-waisted silhouettes, statement shoes, easy dresses and Doc Martens for rainy days. One item every girl should have I believe every girl should own a pair of chic and comfortable flats. What is your definition of style? The canvas of our individuality. An outlet for expression. Fashion Icons? Diana Ross, Erykah Badu, the Fela Kuti Queens, my uber glam mother, Chaka Khan, Bjork and the girls on the street in my hood. Beauty Routine I am very low maintenance. I think I am lucky when I get to wash my face at night. I occasionally get facials by a miracle worker in Los Angeles named Mirta. However, apparently getting facials is not the way to erase months of carelessness and angry pores. Sleep is vital, happiness is key so I feel the most beautiful with those two elements combined. Make up Routine YSL concealer, Rimmel mascara, Rimmel pencil eyeliner, bright lips… Keep it moving Relationship status Happily Committed. It is not complicated, thank God! 5 things you can´t live without? Water, food, plants, sun and sex. What does success mean to you? Defining success on my own terms. First, being a loving and committed mother. I have failed in all things if I have not achieved that. Being an artist that creates to express the needs of my own, and in the process hopefully inspiring others. Having the financial stability to support the lifestyle that makes me feel fulfilled. I know that happiness is a temporary state of mind, success means for me constantly growing, evolving to find that place. What is your opinion about the black representation in the fashion industry? I think it is evolving, and that is a beautiful thing! Now when I flip trough magazines I can see just as many beautiful black models in major campaigns as any other race. Unique, striking,beautiful women. I felt so extremely blessed to be Rimmel’s first black spokesperson, and to be embraced fully for being exactly who I am. And standing next to Kate Moss, with my Afro bigger than days light. I don’t by any means consider myself the most qualified for model material. I think that people tend to respond to what is real. Black women carry that flame with so much ease and confidence. It is being captured and celebrated on all fronts in fashion now. I have friends who are doing greats things, that movement is very real and well deserved! Solange Goes Off On Twitter, Defends Beyonce & Baby!

Barbara Terry is 52. She has managed to put two of her four children through college while working as a prostitute. She has even purchased a home in Upstate, New York all on the salary of a street walker. Terry is still selling her body and has become a favorite at Rikers Island having been there more than 100 times. It seems that women like Barbara who have fallen or chosen this lifestyle have made a decent living out of it even though the law prohibits it (in most places). With women constantly going to jail for prostituting themselves but returning to the streets shortly after, should it be legalized? After all it is, “the world’s oldest profession.” Read more about Terry, here . Wives Of Political Sex Scandals: ‘Til Death Do Us Part’?

Despite how harsh, Wendy Williams can sometimes come across, her recent advice to Fantasia is dead on! Fantasia who just had a baby with Antwaun Cook, who is separated from his wife but still very married, complained about Cook contributing financially to his and her relationship. If she expects a still married man, employed at T-Mobile to support her lifestyle, then she is crazier than most thought. Fanny who hasn’t had a hit record since…(we’ll wait) should listen to Wendy’s advice : “Fantasia, you knew he was married and unavailable to you when you started sleeping with him. A separated man does not make a single man; it means he’s separated. Fantasia, this wasn’t even a down-low relationship because you paraded him on the vacation where we all saw you all celebrating your ‘love.’ Fantasia, I dont know whether it was a broken condom or maybe you miscounted the days if you happen to take a pill, but all I’m saying is you had control over this entire situation and as a wife – and I always root for the wife – you were dead wrong in this one, Fantasia. “I would never say that you get what you deserve, but Fantasia, you haven’t sung in ages. You’ve got a family that we all saw on that great reality show that bloodsucks financially off of you and you weren’t in the position to have another child – especially with a married man who already has two kids who works at the T-Mobile store. Fantasia, he’s not gonna marry you because it’s cheaper not to divorce his own wife – unless you go multiplatinum in which case [you’re] not gonna marry him because [you] know he’s using [you.] “Fantasia, get back to work. Don’t count on him for much. Take him to court if you want. Good luck with everything.” Fantasia Has Baby Boy, Dallas Zavier Barrino Debbie Allen To Fantasia: “You’ve Got Too Many Leeches Around You” [VIDEO]
