If you haven’t been keeping up on the bizarre Dr. Seuss-related conflict between Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent, allow us to bring you up to speed: Earlier this week, 50 challenged Mayweather to read one page of a Harry Potter book in a video that was supposed to be a take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but seemed to kind of miss the point of those clips. 50 Cent Feuds With Floyd Mayweather The next day, audio of Mayweather struggling to read was released by an NYC radio show, and it became apparent that the champ might actually be semi-illiterate. Some responded by saying that the situation is sort of sad and we probably shouldn’t be mocking Mayweather. 50 responded by downgrading his challenge to “one page of the Cat in the Hat.” Now Mayweather has responded in his own fashion: Those are checks from Mayweather’s last two fights. Proof that they don’t call him “Money” for nothing. The boxer tweeted the proof of his jaw-dropping paydays with the caption “Read this $72,276,000.00. God bless.” Not bad for a dude who can’t get through The Sorcerer’s Stone. Your move, Fiddy! 15 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming 1.

Looks like AubRih might be on and poppington…..AGAIN… What do YOU think????? SplashNews/Instagram
Last month, Rihanna and Drake broke up , following a blink-and-you-missed it relationship that seemed to have quite an impact on the Canadian rapper crooner. Though they were only romantically linked for a few weeks, rumor has it that Drake was “too in love” with Rihanna and scared her off – no easy feat with a woman who once dated Chris Brown. Aubrey is a sensitive soul, of course, and he seemed to struggle in the wake of the breakup, at one point even comparing Rihanna to satan . But then one day it seemed that Drizzy woke up and said to himself, “#YOLO.” He start clubbing and getting lap dances from Nicki Minaj again. Rihanna was finally gone from his heart and mind. Until last night: Yes, Drizzy and Rih were spotted entering and leaving an NYC club together, and according to reports, they’re back on. Witnesses say the couple sat together at a small table and whispered flirtatiously into one another’s ears. They then headed off together in the back seat of a car. So, Rih is just messing with him at this point, right? Our theory is she likes having dudes fight over her and, like the rest of us, she was disappointed to see the end of the Drake-Chris Brown feud . Whatever she has to do to get that fired up again, we fully support. We’re always in favor of a (relatively) non-violent rap beef. Drake and Rihanna: Date Night Photos 1.

Missing NYC Model Ataui Deng Found Alive At Hospital Via NBC New York reports: Ataui-Deng Hopkins was found Monday at an area hospital, 12 days after she was last seen leaving the rooftop XVI Lounge on West 48th Street near Eighth Avenue on Aug. 6, according to the NYPD. The 22-year-old models professionally under the name Ataui Deng. She has walked the runways for designers like Proenza Schouler, Zac Posen, Malandrino and Lanvin, according to New York Magazine. Hopkins has also appeared in Harper’s Bazaar and Teen Vogue. The Sudanese-born model has been modeling since she was 14 and lived in Texas before coming to New York City. A spokeswoman at Trump Models, Hopkins’ agency since 2008, said before the 22-year-old was found that everyone was worried about the “much loved” woman and had been making calls and trying to find her. Celebrities including Rihanna also tweeted her photo during the search. Hopkins’ friend, celebrity chef Roble Ali, said she had disappeared before for a day or two when she felt like she needed space. But he said he got worried about this most recent case because she’d never been gone so long. In an Instagram post after she was found, Ali thanked police and friends for their efforts. “She is safe and sound,” he said. “I want to thank all of our friends and followers and especially the NYPD for their swift and dedicated response.” What a sigh of relief!
Jessica Alba was in New York wearing a midriff like she wasn’t over 30 and a mom of two. You know pretending that she’s still awesome and relevant and fashionable, because everyone around her tells her how great and amazing she is every day of her life…and she’s got fans who still praise her and think she’s the best and hottest thing to ever hit the movie screen, when I just see an over-hyped actress with little to no talent, who scammed the system better than any Mexican has….because she is Mexican…despite her being in denial about it…sure she’s mentioned it, but never really embraced it or celebrated it or did anything for Mexicans but hire a few Mexican gardeners as slaves to do her part for her people…not that I care..white people laugh at Mexicans, if she did embrace it, the world of racists would retaliate, so it was better for her to assimilate. Proven by her bank balance… All this to say, here she is in New York…being fancy…dressed a little too sexy…and unfortunately, not sitting on my face…because I’m not against mom’s of two, in fact they are the only vaginas that can really handle my fisting… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE
Will you be helping Ericka find a man? The Singles Project’s Ericka Pittman On Dating Bravo is premiering the first ever real-time dating docu-series, The Singles Project, tomorrow night at 10PM. The Singles Project follows 6 Manhattan singles as they date around in NYC, however the show takes a new approach, allowing viewers to chime in and help the singles pick dates, drop pickup lines, and make suggestions as to how to flirt, what to say, etc. We caught up with Ericka Pittman — one of Diddy’s right hand women — and chatted with her about the highs and lows of dating in the city. Judging by the clip below, Ericka obviously needs a little help from viewers in the flirting department: As an attractive, educated, professional woman (Ericka is the Vice President of Business Development at Combs Wine and Spirits) you would think she’d have little trouble snagging a man. However as the self-proclaimed “Brooklyn Barbie” tells it, dating in New York is a crazy process and she’s willing to take all the helps she can get — even from strangers. BOSSIP: Why would you sign up to let strangers match you with dates? Why not? I’m just at a place in my life where I’m taking amazing calculated risks and doing outrageous things to have outrageous results, and I’m encouraging young women to do the same. If I’m preaching the gospel, I’ve got to live it! It’s an opportunity, it’s a fun summer. Why not? BOSSIP: Is finding a suitable man really that hard? I think dating is tough, and as you grow and mature, your selection process gets a little bit more filtered, and that makes it difficult to find someone that you’re compatible with. So that paired with how busy New York is — everyone with their own goals and agendas — I think it can be a challenge, and you need some assistance. A lot of us seek our friends, some people seek online dating, and The Singles Project is a revolutionary way to date in New York. BOSSIP: What kind of man are you into? I like man with a really strong moral compass. I want someone that is family oriented, that is ready to settle down. And then there’s the superficial stuff — he should just be tall, dark, and handsome. But I really do love someone with a lot of wit and a really handsome smile, and someone that can make me laugh. BOSSIP: Reality TV can get a little crazy…where do you think you fit into all this? I am actually forwarding a movement called “LifE: With a Capital E.” It’s an initiative to help young women identify the next phases in life and I want to show America that women — particularly women of color — should be displayed in a way that’s presentable. That’s my mission. I want to take The Singles Project and use it as an example to beacon and cheer women that are ladies. Nice! Good to see someone will be on a reality show without cursing people out, sloring it up, and throwing glasses and bottles across the dinner table. Will you be watching? You can help Ericka find her man starting tomorrow, Tuesday, August 12 at 10pm ET/PT. Tweet Ericka at @ErickaMPittman and let her know who to date and who to dump!
