Here We Go Again: Mama Joyce Explains Why She Does Not Want Kandi To Marry “Gold Diggin’” Todd

Mama Joyce just wants Kandi for herself. Mama Joyce Explains Why She Does Not Like Todd Poor Todd. He is in love with Kandi and has to deal with her monster-in-law mother. According to Radar Online: Kandi Burruss’ mom Joyce doesn’t like her daughter’s soon-to-be husband Todd Tucker! Opening up exclusively to RadarOnline.com, Joyce reveals why she doesn’t trust the reality star and tells of how she wants nothing to do with their wedding planning. “I’m out of it. Whatever Kandi does, it is completely her decision now. I wish her well. I just hope that this is the right choice for her,” Joyce told Radar. Joyce said she considers Todd an opportunist who will take Kandi’s money, but she’s backing down because the drama – which aired on The Real Housewives of Atlanta – has made her physically sick. Joyce revealed she lost sleep after The Kandi Factory star and Tucker, a reality TV line producer, got engaged. “They have worn me down to the point where it has made me sick. I just don’t feel like Todd is the right choice. I think he’s manipulative… I’ve tried to shield my child, but I’m tired. I’m over it. I pray to God I’m wrong about him. “If Kandi is happy, I’m happy. At the end of the day, she’s the one who will have to deal with him not me,” she confessed, adding that to her knowledge Kandi and Todd still haven’t set a wedding date. Joyce also opened up about Sunday’s episode of the hit Bravo show. Sunday’s show saw Mama Joyce outraged that Kandi’s assistant Carmon, whom she’s accused of sleeping with Todd, was there to help with the wedding dress shopping. She objected to Carmon being at the bridal salon for what she termed a family event — and had to be held back from throwing a shoe. As expected, the southern mama doesn’t regret the way she acted. “This was my daughter’s wedding dress fitting. If Carmon was the friend and ‘daughter’ that she always wanted to be, she should have gotten up and left when I asked her,” Joyce said matter-of-factly. Joyce continued to weigh in on the drama, claiming she believes Carmon and Kandi’s fiancé were fooling around at one point. “A lot of people who worked for Kandi and I have told me that Todd and Carmon were acting like much more than friends around the house. They may have squashed the relationship for now, but I truly believe they were doing things behind Kandi’s back at one point,” Joyce confessed. “I’ve confronted Kandi [about the cheating rumors] — but she’s still with Todd, so who knows. It’s her choice, and I wish her well,” she said. If Mama Joyce had a man, would she be so occupied with Kandi and Todd’s business?

Bad Girl Gone Good: Rihanna To Get Family Friendly Makeover For DreamWorks Animated Franchise?

Rihanna may want to clean up her image to get more mainstream gwap. Rihanna To Transform Bad Girl Image If she does make the transition it won’t last long. She can’t go a day without piff-puffin’ and taking controversial pics. According to Radar Online Singing about S&M and posting raunchy photos of herself on Instagram may be a thing of the past for pop star Rihanna. RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the “Good Girl Gone Bad” singer is reportedly poised to get a family-friendly makeover. According to a top source, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg is dying to build an animated franchise around the 25-year-old in a bid to “globalize and sanitize her image for the widest possible audience.” “Jeffrey has been tracking Robyn for a couple of years. He is a huge fan and believes the sky’s the limit if she can clean up her act to appeal to a wider audience,” the insider said. “He sees a huge amount of money to be made there and wants to capitalize before somebody else does. He’s making pop-friendly movies and wants her to be in them. “It’s time for Rihanna to go from R-rated to PG-rated. This is Jeffrey’s firm opinion and he’s doing all he can to make it happen.” The insider says the DreamWorks executive sees the same potential for family appeal with Rihanna that he saw in Chris Rock, who – despite his profanity-laden stand-up routines – is a key player in the Madagascar franchise. Earlier this month, Rihanna caused outrage when she released her racy new video for her song “Pour It Up.” RiRi was filmed working a stripper pole and twerking in revealing outfits that left nothing to the imagination By the looks of that Pour It Up” video , she has a lot of cleaning up to do.

On The Come Up: Kerry Washington To Host Saturday Night Live

Kerry is getting that mainstream gwap. Kerry Washington To Host Saturday Night Live And who says there aren’t enough funny black women in TV—shame on you Kenan Thompson. According to The Hollywood Reporter Kerry Washington is set to make her debut on Saturday Night Live. The Emmy-nominated star of ABC’s Scandal is set to host the NBC show on Nov. 2. Eminem, whose new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, will be released Nov. 5, will serve as the night’s musical guest; it marks his sixth appearance on the show. The news of Washington’s hosting gig comes on the heels of a TV Guide interview with SNL star Kenan Thompson, who lamented the lack of black female cast members. “It’s just a tough part of the business,” Thompson said. “Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready.” Meanwhile, Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton is set to make his own debut as SNL host the week before Washington.

New Black Kid On The Block: TDE Banger SZA “Teen Spirit” [Video]

Who’s that girl? Besides Kendrick Lamar’s MC crushing performance , it’s likely you noticed something else special about TDE’s BET Hip-Hop cypher appearance — the stunner who rocked the TDE shirt alongside her brethren but didn’t rock the mic with the rest of the crew. Well, we’ve been watching the said stunner — whose name happens to be SZA — for some time now and are happy to give you some info on her. Via VOGUE.com : Though she’s only been making music for little over a year, New Jersey–native SZA (born Solana Rowe) has already attracted comparisons to artists like Frank Ocean and the Weeknd. Another less expected analogy might be made between the 23-year-old musician and an artist like Grimes, who orchestrates nearly every film, performance, and artwork associated with her name. “I wanted to live and die by my own decisions,” SZA says of the self-directed video for “Teen Spirit,” debuting today on Vogue.com. “From color correction to set choice to dressing myself in dirty T-shirts and random Marni pieces and refusing a stylist and makeup artist . . . I figured if I was going to fail, I’d do it on my own terms.” Given that SZA has recently joined Kendrick Lamar’s TDE label after having already released two EPs with another on the way, we doubt failure is anywhere in her future. We’re inclined to agree. She’s a winner fa sho. Check out her video below: Isn’t she something special? We raided her Instagram so you could check out more photos at well. Hit the flip to see ‘em.
