That group of floozies Shaunie doesn’t want to claim has already lost one of the few legitimate wives on the cast. The majority of season one of Basketball Wives: L.A. will find Tanya Young Williams mostly dealing with her divorce from Super Fail aka Jayson Williams. But she still feels like she might be the best example of a “Basketball Wife” on the show. Jayson Williams’ estranged wife, Tanya, has joined the cast of VH1′s “Basketball Wives: LA” and says she’s so far shot three episodes while navigating divorce proceedings. “I signed on to participate in the show to elevate the negative perception . . . that [it] is purposely filled with flighty, overly emotional and sense lessly dramatic women,” she told us via e-mail. “Yes, my life is chaotic, dramatic and surreal, but I am also a businesswoman.” Former Nets star Williams is behind bars for assault in the death of a limo driver and is up for parole next month when the show premieres. Yeah, all that “I’m going to elevate the perception” yang really probably means this broad and her fighting-one-time-over-golf-carts shenanigans are gonna make her the Tami Roman of the L.A. cast. Remember we said that. Source
It’s a beautiful thing being black. The shared jokes, cultural references and overall sense of pride I feel being a black woman is something I truly treasure. But that being said there are certain references, jokes and shared experiences that just weren’t a part of my life as a black person. Which is why blackness varies from person to person. Here are a few things that tend to raise eyebrows and cause confusion… Continued at MadameNoire.com

Meet Vishon Murphy. Vishon here was kicked out of a North Carolina Pizza Hut for rocking a lil short dress and sandals: Vishon Murphy knows the phrase “no shirt, no shoes, no service” but when he decided to wear a dress to pick up some food at the Pizza Hut in Wallace, N.C. he says he was turned away for being ‘disruptive.’ “As soon as I walked in the general manager told me that I cannot be in the restaurant because I was dressed in ‘drag,’ in women’s clothing, and he asked me to leave,” Vishon Murphy said. On Sunday, Pizza Hut representatives tell WECT News that Murphy had visited the restaurant three times and had not purchased anything. After customers complained about his clothing he was asked to leave. Some customers said Pizza Hut had a right to ask Murphy to leave. While others said that is discriminating against someone’s sexuality. “If I was paying for something then I should be able to go in and sit down. I’m half Scottish and if I wanted to wear a kilt in here I should be able to,” said Greg Lanier. Pizza Hut representatives say they have video of Murphy causing a scene once he was asked to leave. Murphy says he didn’t mean to be a ‘drama queen’ but he wanted to make more than a fashion statement. “I respect people and their boundaries because I understand that everyone does not like my lifestyle and I show them respect,” said Murphy. “I deserve to be respected, as well.” Please make sure you watch the video….PLEASE!!!!

Good news ladies — a recent sex study of long-term relationships found that men who get lots of cuddle action and affectionate touching are happier! Time to get your spoon on! But here’s the irony, while the men in the study valued cuddling, the women put more value on their sexual satisfaction! Researchers from the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Ind. surveyed 1,009 heterosexual middle-aged and older couples in long-term relationships from five different countries, and found some surprising results, reports TIME. Men who reported frequently kissing or cuddling with their partners were on average three times as happy with their relationships as men who reported limited interaction. Perhaps more surprising, the study found it was sexual satisfaction that was more important to women in long-term relationships. And it also found that for women, sex got better over time — they reported significantly more sexual satisfaction after being with their partner for 15 years. “This study makes it clear our assumptions aren’t always borne out by research,” Jennifer Bass, director of communications at The Kinsey Institute told ABC News. Psychologists who were not involved in the research were intrigued by the study’s findings that men need touch and affection to be happy in relationships. Aline Zoldbrod, a psychologist in Lexington, Mass., told ABC News that touch in general is very important and, “touch from a person you love and trust is a major emotional resource and a way that people can regulate their emotions when they are upset. Couples who use touch to comfort, to compliment, and yes, to seduce and arouse, are bound to be happier.” In a press release, the study’s lead author and Director of the Kinsey Institute for Research In Sex, Gender and Reproduction, Julia Heinman noted that while we constantly hear about studies on divorce, research on lasting relationships is also important. We already know from other research that being happy in a long-term relationship has some health benefit. “Perhaps we can learn more about what makes relationships both sustainable and happy,” she said. Women in long-term relationships may become more satisfied over time because expectations change once the children are grown, said Heinman. And “those who weren’t so happy sexually might not be married so long.” The study also found that both Japanese men and women were significantly happier in their relationships than Americans, but Brazilians and the Spanish were less happy than American couples. This makes sense considering that, according to Heinman, while more than 50 percent of couples in the U.S. don’t stay in their first marriage, that number increases to about 90 percent in Spain. This study is important, co-author Michael Sand, a clinical sexologist at Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, told MSNBC, because it shows that people can be in long-term relationships and still enjoy “healthy, vibrant sexuality.” This is promising news… Now go love up on your boos y’all!
