Source: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for MTV / Getty / Getty Erica Mena Goes Wedding Dress Shopping Erica Mena apparently said “yes to the dress” this week as she prepares to marry Safaree. The former “Love & Hip Hop” star posted a picture of herself trying on wedding dresses this week with Beverly Hills designers Ryan Patros & Walter Mendez. On her story, she also tried on several other gowns and teased that she was having one made. The pictures apparently left Safaree “speechless”—but not speechless enough to repost the picture and write a “ STRAAAAAIT smitten” caption about his bride-to-be. “I would say I Can’t believe it but I prayed for this and God always answers my prayers,” wrote Safaree. “Can’t wait to see what dress you pick but i know i have to wait. I know our wedding is going to be big and extra as hell but if it was just me you & our families I’d be good with that.” Somebody is straaaaaait smitten! As previously reported the couple’s reportedly received huge 6-figure offers to live stream their impending nuptials but haven’t signed a deal—yet. There’s also speculation that there could be a VH1 wedding special brewing. What do YOU think about Safaree and Erica Mena prepping for their wedding???
We may hear wedding bells sooner than we think from Jersey Shore’s Sammi Giancola and her boyfriend Christian Biscardi ! The two have been dating for a year and a half, and a close friend of the star shares that Sammi is going to be getting engaged in the very near future! For all of you Sammi and Ronnie fans (if there are any), it’s now time to grab the tissues. Ronnie Magro, who recently split with his ex , Jen Harley, following an alleged bloody fight in early January, is not taking the idea of an ‘engagement’ too well. Do we expect him? I mean Sammi and Ronnie were together (on-off) for EIGHT years and the poor guy just went through hell with his ex. The insider says, “Ronnie knows it’s coming” and he isn’t ready. “He still feels like Sammi was the love of his life and the one that got away. It’s very hard for Ronnie to see Sammi so happy with Christian and some friends think that is why he stayed with Jen for so long.” Ronnie’s close friends worry that when it does come he will have a very hard time dealing with the news and “that there’s a huge part of Ron that still loves Sammi and it hurts to know his chances with her are over,” the source added. While Sammi and Biscardi plan for the next steps in their relationship, a source confirmed that the couple already moved in together over the summer. They are both “fully committed and ready” to spend the rest of their lives together. “She’s really excited to begin the next chapter of her life with Christian,” says Hollywood Life source. So much so that she even turned down the MTV spin off, Jersey Shore Family Vacation , back in April! Jersey Shore Family Vacation: New Trailer Released! She later explained her absence was to “avoid potentially toxic situations.” Anyone who has seen the show can probably agree that she was referring to her ex, Ronnie. (and multiple nights of bar fights) Her statement continued: “I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my business and my relationship. I am not the same as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially awkward situations.” And avoiding the situation is exactly what she did… She even skipped out on Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s wedding on Nov. 1. However, we learn from Sorrentino that she did send a “very heartfelt, sweet gift.” So, it’s not like she skipped the event altogether and just didn’t care. Instead, Sorrentino says it was likely because “the cameras were there, she opted not to come.” It sounds like Sammi is enjoying and focusing on her new life out of the spotlight and come on, she has way better things to do anyway! Like plan a wedding, perhaps?
Source: WENN.com / WENN It seems Iyanla Vanzant and DMX , or Earl as she calls him, are about to mend some broken fences. According to a new report, the rapper would like a Fix My Life “do-over” when he’s released from prison later this month and Vanzant is open to it. DMX appeared on Vanzant’s show back in 2013. When the life coach sat down with X and his son to try and discuss the rapper’s drug addiction , all hell broke loose. X ended up telling Vanzant to “shut the f*ck up” and more, later telling TMZ “Iyanla set the whole thing up to make me look bad for ratings,” adding, “That lady is toxic…my last words to her were that she can suck my d*ck and she still can.” But it looks like they may be able to work things out after all, as Vanzant says the altercation wasn’t all X’s fault. She told Page Six that X reached out recently. “The last thing I said to [him] was, ‘You will never have the opportunity to speak to me again.’ But that was before I realized that I failed him,” she told the publication. How exactly did she fail him? Vanzant also reportedly told Page Six, “I failed him by not following the Holy Spirit to do what I’m supposed to do. I did what [the show’s] production [team] wanted. I had a very clear path for every single guest.” Hopefully, this second conversation is a tad bit more healing than the first…do you plan on tuning in? Photo: WENN

Source: Frederick M. Brown / Getty Netflix is on a roll! It hasn’t been long since Bird Box went viral and folks that don’t value their lives started doing the #BirdBoxChallenge . Now, there’s some new streaming content the internet can’t stop talking about. Y ou is a Lifetime series-turned-Netflix Original starring Penn Badgley (best known as Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl ), Shay Mitchell , Elizabeth Lail , and Luca Padovan . The series follows Joe, a book store clerk who’s trying his best to get over a cheating ex when he meets a new girl, Beck. Obsessed with making sure his new potential relationship doesn’t end up like his last, he begins stalking Beck, learning the details of her life, inserting himself where he can, and manipulating her relationships. By day he’s just a bookstore clerk and by night, a serial killer—and his ability to mask the latter instantly makes you wonder about who, in your own life, might be hiding a deep, dark secret of their own. Eventually, we get to learn Joe’s back story—how he became the serial killer that he is, and how the killing characteristic is passed down from generation to generation. You’ll have to watch it for yourself, but just know it’s a really good series with some great acting that speaks to real life: “So @PennBadgley is an amazing actor. He makes you want to like his character, Joe, so badly in YOU. His charisma was spot on….kind of like…oh, I don’t know, Ted Bundy. Stay strong. Run from the Joes of the world. Run far. # YOU,” one fan @KasieWest tweeted after watching. Hit the flip to see how people are reacting to the latest Netflix Original gone viral and let us know what you thought of it after tuning in.
Lil Wayne on Nike, Michael Jackson, Shaq & More Lil Wayne talks about buying his first Mercedes-Benz at age 15, how Birdman bought him a BMW Z3 drop top soon thereafter, and how his Bentley broke down at a daiquiri shop. In the topic of Michael vs. Prince, he chooses Michael Jackson and talks about dressing up as MJ as a kid, with one sock on and his grandmother’s wig! Although the regarded “greatest rapper alive” doesn’t do many on camera sit downs, his interviews are also entertaining, and somewhat informative. Weezy claims he gotta choose checks over stripes because thats what the girls liked to see him draw in high school, and they would ask him to draw a Nike check on the cover of their folder, making the brand a chick magnet. If that’s not a good reason to be team Nike, I don’t know what is. Check out the full interview and let us know your thoughts! Continue reading →

Tampa Police said that the shooting happened just before 11 p.m. on Tuesday night. WFLA wrote that details are limited, but Nina Ross Da Boss (real name Jimmiel Spillman-Ingram) was in a car with an unidentified male. Spillman-Ingram’s car was found crashed into a nearby home and caused some minor damage. According to reports, she leaves behind six children including a two-month-old. “It’s been so rough for me and for my grandchildren. My heart is so torn. No child should have to go through that of losing their mother,” said Nina Ross Da Boss’ mother Yolanda Baker. Spillman-Ingram was also a member of the Exciting Faith Alive Church in Tampa, and her pastor, Antonio Hawkins, told WFLA that his last encounter with her was just a few months ago, when she came to church.
