Todd is fed up ! Todd Tucker Blasts Kandi For Letting His Mom Call Him An Opportunist In a preview for the next episode of RHOA, Kandi’s producer boo Todd Tucker lets her know he doesn’t feel like she’s not standing up for him when Mama Joyce talks isht about him. Via BravoTV reports: “This sh*t is real frustrating. I’m just being honest. I feel like I’ve given so much of myself in this relationship and I’m just getting shot down every way. “So basically if I become a millionaire next year, I can buy that love?” Kandi laughs and tells him getting his stacks up might help the situation: “You laugh a lot about this. It’s really not funny.” Kandi defends her mom but Todd warns her she might lose him because of this: “But when does it stop? When do you say, ‘You gotta chill out?’ “I think by not dealing with it, you can end up losing out on a good man that’s good for you.” Do you think Todd is right?
A young woman recently shared a photo of a poem created her brother Jonathan when they were younger. Clearly, their relationship was rocky back then. “My parents keep this framed on the wall,” she wrote on Reddit. “It’s a poem written and illustrated by my brother.” That it is. And it’s pretty awesome: To be sure, the feeling was mutual: “I’ve been told I was totally fine when my parents brought my brother home. Excited even,” the woman recalls. “Then I asked when we were sending him back.” Fortunately, the work, which was originally published in an elementary school poetry book, can be laughed at these days, as they get along very well . Back in the day, though, the heave-ho sounded pretty good.
Dear Bossip , I appreciate you taking time to read my email and thank you in advance for your help. I am having doubts if my boyfriend will ever make it a priority to propose to me. I am a 29-year old white female and my boyfriend is a 25-year old black male. We have been friends for over 11 years, but decided to start a love relationship about four years ago. I approached him two years ago about the idea of marriage and we both came to the conclusion that this was something we both wanted with each other, but my boyfriend is a HUGE procrastinator and TERRIBLE with money. I am seriously doubt that he will ever overcome these shortfalls to save the money to buy me an engagement ring. He has NEVER done anything on time during the entire course of me knowing him. He is always late or waits until the 5th hour to get things done. Even if it is something that is important to him. He just can’t get right with doing things in a timely manner. I am in no way trying to bash him (nobody is perfect), but marriage is something that is very important to me and to be perfectly honest I do not want to be an old bride. Nor, do I want to be like so many other couples around our area that have just been playing house with each other for 13 years. I want this thing to be legit and I want my love to be validated with a ring on my finger. I told him a year ago that if he did not get a ring and propose to me by my 30th birthday that I would have to call off our relationship. I hated to give him an ultimatum like that but I have done similar things with him like this in the past and he seems to work better with a serious deadline. Problem is, I’m turning 30 in February and I know he hasn’t saved up a dime for the ring. Yes, I have reminded him off and on and every time I mention it I can see where he is like, “Awww, -ish, I have GOT to get on that.” But, thinking about it is as far as he gets with it. I like to get things done well in advance so that’s why I am coming to you now so you can give me your honest opinion and I can think about it for the last few months that I have before “D” Day. Should I really call off our relationship if he doesn’t propose to me by February? Was it fair for me to even give him a deadline like that? Marriage is so important to me, but is it really worth losing my lover and best friend? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. – Ringless Dear Ms. Ringless , You created this. You set this into motion. You accepted this from the very beginning. You said, “He has NEVER done anything on time during the entire course of me knowing him.” So, if you know this, what do you want me to say? (Giving you the side eye) And, now you want me to give you advice on how to get him to change. Why? You’ve been allowing him to do this for 11 years as your friend, and then 4 years in an intimate relationship. Ma’am, HE IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE. He will always be a procrastinator and he will always be terrible with money. It appears that your “boy” friend is content. That is how I would sum up your relationship. It’s contentment. Why does he have to work for anything when you’ve given him the comforts and luxuries of having everything before getting married? You’ve accepted his behaviors for nearly 15 years. For fifteen years he’s been this person, and now you want him to change because YOU want to get married, and have a ring by YOUR 30 th birthday. Bwahahahahahahaha! Good luck with that! Think about it: You were friends for 11 years before you started an intimate relationship. For 11 years you knew one another so well, that to him you were just like one of the guys. You were cool, someone he could chill with, and he enjoyed your friendship. He was comfortable with you. You were comfortable with him. Therefore, he didn’t have to do much work in getting you. Thus, he developed a lackadaisical attitude and simply figured I can be myself with her. Four years ago when you decided to date seriously, I’m sure he was like, “Okay. Sure. It saves me the work of having to prove anything, spend money, and court and date her because she already knows me, and I know her.” He simply went with the flow. And, why would he have to put his best foot forward, work hard, and be about his business when, “You’ve been my friend for eleven years, and I know you, and you know me.” Then two years ago, it was you who approached your boyfriend about marriage. And, again, I’m sure he was like, “Okay. Sure. Why not.” But, he didn’t think it through that he would have to propose, get a ring, set a date, plan a wedding, and all the other stuff required for a wedding. Why would he? You basically proposed to him when you asked him about marriage. Again, you fed into his lackadaisical attitude. He is content with how things are going, so why disrupt what is already working. You’ve made it too easy for him! You live together. You do everything a married couple does. You feed him. Sex him. Wash his clothes. Clean after him. Pay the bills together. You treat him like he’s already your man-child-husband, therefore, why is he going to change? For what? What motivating reason is there for him to change? Life is good, according to him. So, he is content. You do realize he is still the 14-year old boy you met 11 years ago. He has not grown. He is still the same 14-year who needs to be told what to do, when to do it, and why he needs to do it. If you were smart, wise, and really reflected on your relationship, then you would see that he is still that young teenage boy who procrastinates, and is terrible with money. I suggest marriage counseling before getting married, and I also suggest couples therapy. Yes, couples therapy because this relationship is about you keeping and maintaining the relationship with a teenager. He doesn’t have to do anything but simply show up whenever he wants or likes, and he goes with the flow. I’m sure he loves you, but he doesn’t love you enough to make the necessary changes to get his act together. On two different occasions in your letter you said marriage was important to you. Well, Ms. Thing, is it important to him? You said you don’t want to end up like the other couples in your area who are playing house for 13 years. Uhm, what the hell do you think you’re doing now? You also mentioned that you don’t want to be an old bride, and you want your relationship to be legit and validated by a ring. WOW! A ring will validate love for you? Okay. Yes, you need some serious therapy. You want marriage and a ring to not only make you feel validated, but to prove to others that you were able to get a man to marry you. You want to prove to others that you are not like them. You are about the show. I know your type, ma’am. And, you know what, you will have the man, and he may very well marry you, but you will forever be complaining, unhappy, miserable, and trying to change him into the man YOU want him to be. I want you to realize that if you marry him you will forever have to give him deadlines to get things done. You will always have to give him ultimatums, threats, and other ramifications to get what you want, or to get any results from him. And, you nailed it on the head when you said he is your “lover and best friend.” You are absolutely right. He is still your 14-year old best friend, and the only thing you’ve done is introduced sex into the mix. You have to ask yourself: Is he marriage material? Is he reliable? Can you count on him with money, and to handle the finances of the house? How will he be with children? Will he be responsible enough to get them to school on time? I’m telling you he is not going to change. You’ve allowed him to be this way for so long, and co-signed this bull-ish for 15 years. You have to decide if you’re willing to commit to another 15 years of co-signing this, and putting up with his procrastination and terrible finances. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Will the relationship drama of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom be the primary focal point of the next season of E!’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians? Khloe Kardashian Plans to Divorce Lamar Odom? Last Sunday’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians season finale hinted at the end of Khloe and Lamar, with Khloe talking about the situation … in part. She did not offer any details about crack, women, rehab, or anything specific, but did admit he has issues that she feels she can’t help him with. Khloe told Rob Kardashian that while she’s never one to throw in the towel, she has to protect herself as well, and the right move may be to step back. Next season, sources say, the marital problems will take center stage. She’s currently filming scenes about their marriage, insiders claim, so we may get a first-person look at the Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom drama yet. The ninth season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will be “all about their marriage falling apart,” a source says, marking a big shift for Khloe. Kardashian, 29, has protected the specifics of Lamar’s secrets for months, but she will finally confront their issues head on via her family reality show. “Khloe’s current scenes … are all about her troubles with Lamar,” a source connected to the show says. “It’s all about their marriage falling apart.” Khloe has been extremely private about Lamar’s alleged cheating and drug abuse, but has apparently agreed to air at least some of their dirty laundry. Kris Jenner can be a persuasive force. On Sunday’s emotional episode, Khloe recalled her wedding with Lamar and the intimate moments that the NBA star shared with her and her family. But, she confessed, she saw signs of trouble a long time ago, and sadly, she seems to have come to the conclusion that she can’t save Lamar. “If someone, God forbid, gets their legs cut off or gets cancer, do you just leave someone because they’re like slowing down your life?” Khloe said. “I’m trying to help and save, but there’s nothing more I can do.” Unlike Kim Kardashian ‘s baby North West, which Kanye may prevent from ever appearing on KUWTK , Khlomar may be the focus in the months to come.
Justin Bieber is putting jealous beyotches on blast for breaking up his relationship in his new song… Justin Bieber Disses Taylor Swift Over Selena Gomez In New Song? Teeny bopper turned young & thuggin’ pop bad boy Justin Bieber just dropped a new song…and he looks to have dropped a huge hint that it’s a diss record toward his ex boo-thang Selena Gomez’ BFF Taylor Swift. Taylor has gone on record throwing subliminal shots at the Biebz and indicating that her lil Latin bestie is better off without him, and word on the street is that Justin has had enough. via Hollywood Life Wow! Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift’s dislike for another has always been simmering just beneath the surface — neither of them have ever really blatantly come out and made their true feelings known. Until Nov. 11, when Justin retweeted a fan tweet that his new song, “All Bad,” was a diss track written about Taylor. And so the feud rolls on! Justin’s “All Bad” lyrics were transparent enough, but the song’s suspected meaning was all but confirmed by Justin co-signing this tweet: That’s probably about as close to an actual confirmation as we’re going to get. Especially because Justin pulled his retweet moments later. @IKidrauhlic then decided to stir the pot a little more, tweeting: Though was there really ever a doubt? A good portion of “All Bad” makes it very clear that Justin is referring to Taylor and how she got in between him and Selena Gomez. Like when he sings: With his song — and especially with his deleted retweet — Justin has turned up the heat on his feud with Taylor. Biebz has been pretty public about the fact that he wasn’t too happy that Selena kicked him to the curb, and since Taylor has definitely been all up in the mix, we wouldn’t be surprised if the song was directed towards her. Take a look at a few lyrics from the song, titled “All Bad,” on the flip and decide yourself… Continue reading →

Chilli goes IN about Left Eye’s sister, Usher, Pebble’s daughter and more Chilli Reveals Why Usher Wasn’t Included In TLC Biopic The TLC Biopic did massive numbers and had a mostly favorable response from viewers, but there’s also been some highly-publicized backlash from TLC’s former manager Pebbles in the midst of all the praise. Both TLC and Pebbles have been very vocal about their thoughts on the movie and Chilli recently spoke with The Jasmine Brand about the l atest shade from Pebbles’ daughter while also addressing the widely-asked question of why Usher was left out of the biopic. Check out a few interview excerpts below: On criticism from Pebble’s Daughter: You know what? I don’t know – To be honest with you – I’ve been so caught up in thanking God with the blessings; with the success of this film. All the other stuff or half of the stuff that I don’t see – I’ll hear about it like from you or someone’s going to say something to me. We just felt we put out our relationship with her because that’s who we had the relationships with, that’s who we had those experiences with was Pebbles; not her children. And we’ve always had love for them – I’ve known them since they were babies. They were little so they weren’t even able to comprehend what was going on between us and their mom because they were children. So I don’t know. I really don’t have anything to say about the kids or anything like that, besides the fact that I hope they’re doing well and understand them being upset because everybody loves their mom. You just love your mother. But at the same time, at the end of the day, this is what happened between TLC and her. We didn’t make up these things. We just did not. Why would we do that? It seems like most of the general public is riding with TLC’s side of the story on this one. Who do you believe in all of this, Bossip fam? Chilli also gave a detailed response to Usher being left out of the biopic and clapped back at Lisa’s sister Reigndrop, accusing her of being attention-thirsty. Hit the flip to hear what she had to say.
So they’re forgetting about Catherine’s bipolar disorder and him lying about having cancer? Catherine Zeta-Jones And Michael Douglas Spotted Together These two called it quits two months ago, but looks like they’re holding on for the kids. According to US Weekly reports: Nothing brings people together like buckets full of candy. Two months after announcing that they were “taking some time apart,” Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones reunited for a very special family activity: trick-or-treating with kids Dylan, 13, and Carys, 10, in upstate New York on Halloween. Douglas revealed the outing during an appearance on Live With Kelly & Michael on Friday, Nov. 1, to promote his new film, Last Vegas. “My son Dylan was a Hobbit, my daughter Carys was a kind of flapper, and Catherine was Snow White,” he told the hosts. And he was? “I was late. I grabbed a mask at the store, it said Mike Meyers on it, and I said, ‘I don’t remember this character that Mike Myers did,’” the Oscar winner explained. “Then I walked around and everyone said it was Michael Meyers, who killed everyone [in the Halloween flicks].” Together since 1999 and married since 2000, Douglas, 68, and Zeta-Jones, 43, announced in late August that they were taking some time apart to “evaluate and work on their marriage.” In recent days, however, the Behind the Candelabra actor has seemed optimistic about their future. Asked about their relationship in an interview with Jay Leno just last week, the star hinted that things were taking a turn for the better. “I’ve been away for a while, but everything should hopefully be on the up and up,” he shared. “Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the end. So I’m very hopeful.” Hopefully, they can make it work. Continue reading →
