With Nicki Minaj taking the Twitter fight to Steven Tyler , another random music feud has now cropped up. Following Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore recently telling Music Week that ” somebody should shoot ” Simon Cowell, The X Factor judge has fired back in a series of online digs. “I read Martin gore wants to shoot me,” Simon Tweeted yesterday. “He is in depeche mode. Do you realise how weird and stupid that makes you. Go and watch the news.” Cowell was referencing the Aurora Colorado shooting in his response, along with other recent incidents involving gun use. Gore, of course, has clarified that he was “not advocating violence,” but simply isn’t a fan of Cowell’s “influence in the music industry over the last god knows how many years.” Still, as Simon explained, he could have chosen his words far more wisely because “”a ton of people have got shot this year and people like weirdo gore encourage this.” In conclusion, the producer has sage advice for us all: “I went to a thanksgiving party and someone told me to listen rather than talk. You have two ears and one mouth. Very good advice.”

Looks like Laura Govan isn’t done throwing her co-stars under the bus. In an interview with Juicy Magazine Laura reveals her feelings about Jackie Christie, Draya Michele, her sister Gloria’s acting career and why people need to stop act like “Basketball Wives” is an accurate portrayal of black women: JUICY: There is an awkward vibe between you and Draya, what are your feelings about Draya and where does you’re issue with her stem from? LG: My focus wasn’t on nobody but Jackie. I could see everybody else for who they were. I didn’t like Draya [season 1] for scenes off camera, you guys couldn’t see. With Draya, I’m like, you’re still a sl*t bucket, but Draya is Draya. She does her thing. She’s like a blunt, you smoke it, you hit it, you pass it and then you toss it and then its a roach and you keep it moving. This year, she’s still the same person but she’s growing, taking ant steps, but she’s getting there. I don’t dislike Draya at all. JUICY: What were your initial thoughts of your sister, Gloria’s new role as an actress? LG: Initially when I seen it was like, ‘B!tch you’re the isht.’ We were all over the place. I was so happy for her. I was watching this person and I’m like, ‘That’s you?’ We were all excited. JUICY: What do you say to critics that say reality television depicts minority women negatively? LG: If you look at TV and you think that I’m portraying who you are as a Black woman you have issues. Look at TV for what it is – entertainment. If you want to be entertained watch my show. If you want to watch a woman portraying Black women, watch Oprah, don’t watch me. If you wanna get some jokes and you wanna laugh and you wanna be like ‘What no she didn’t’, then that’s this is the place to be. I don’t like when people look at it for anything else. Wow… Do you agree with her? She does kind of have a point. Anyone who thinks ALL black women act like them fools is cray.
