Paras Griffin/Getty Images Kenya Moore Confirms Baby News Yup, the rumors are true. Kenya Moore is confirming that she’s expecting her first child. The RHOA star made the announcement during part 1 of the RHOA Reunion just three minutes into the show. “We will definitely be welcoming a boy or girl later this year.,” said Kenya. “I wouldn’t play about anything like that.” She also added that she didn’t want to talk further until she was in a “safe place” which caused speculation that she’s either in her first trimester OR has a surrogate in the early stages of their pregnancy. Kenya’s since shut down the surrogacy rumors. No surrogate but maybe my next one https://t.co/7ejd2kMrWO — KENYA MOORE (@KenyaMoore) April 9, 2018 Paras Griffin/Getty Images Either way, we know the 47-year-old is expanding her family with her hubby Marc Daly. Congrats Kenya!
RHOA Castmember Cut From Next Season Looks like those rumors about a housewife getting the ax from the franchise had some merit after all. The streets of Atlanta are talking, and they say that RHOA will be short one veteran when they return next season. As you may have heard last year when Phaedra got canned (and denied it for the rest of the Spring), Housewives get notice of their pickups and contract renewals all at the same time about two weeks after filming of the reunion show wraps. If you don’t get one, well… Apparently not one, but TWO members of the Season 10 cast got their walking papers this week. If you’ve been keeping up this season, it shouldn’t be too hard to guess who: Yes, according to an exclusive from B. Scott , Sheree Whitfield got her peach snatched back. Her bosom-buddy Kim Zolciak-Biermann was also not asked to return, however she was not considered a Housewife this season — just a sidekick character to spice up the storyline. Kenya was apparently THISCLOSE to getting the boot herself…but her pregnancy rumor and her hubby’s eventual willingness to film saved her azz. Eva Marcille is still in the running to become a full-time housewife, but no final decision has been made as of yet. And it seems at least one housewife feels like Sheree’s peach drop was well warranted. Porsha Williams had this to say on Twitter a few hours before the news leaked: Karma — Porsha Williams (@Porsha4real) April 6, 2018 And judging by their tense interaction at the reunion: That’s not a shock. What do you think? Will you Miss Sheree, her prison bae, and her chateau? Bravo/Getty/Twitter Continue reading →

Source: FOX Image Collection / Getty It’s back to business as usual at Empire Records, and there’s always the proverbial snake in the grass lurking too. We start with Lucious popping awake from a bad dream about the night his car blew up, and now his Lyon senses are tingling. In other words, he suspects that Andre might have something to do with trying to kill him so he tells Thirsty to get to investigating. In other news, Eddie (Lucious’ Uncle) and Giselle (Eddie’s ex-wife) are part of Empire’s staff now. They’re exes, but they’re in deep financial trouble so of course, they’re going to try to use Empire for a come up. This is actually a good time for scheming because Empire is making money moves with their streaming service. Eddie and Giselle brought a new investor to the table and Cookie and Lucious are down with the partnership. Unfortunately, said business partner is down to steal Empire right along with Eddie and Giselle and later on in the episode, he mentions that he’s actually going to buy Empire based on the moves they made, but Eddie said he’ll deal with telling Lucious what’s up. The other part to this sneaky takeover is that Eddie has been going around planting divisive bugs in people’s ears. He lowkey convinced Jamal to drop out of the upcoming 20 for 20 Celebration, and while working with Tiana on her music, he tells her that she can’t let Hakeem distract her from her music. Later on, Hakeem proposes to her and she says she needs to think about it because she can’t have any distractions. It was that easy. via GIPHY Speaking of 20 for 20, there’s an old Empire act that they didn’t invite back. It’s one of Empire’s first acts, a girl group called “TBD” (with Tisha Campbell guest starring as the lead), and they are so salty that they’re on TV telling everyone who will listen that they got beef. They plan to release their own anniversary album, which will include a dis track that spills all the tea on Empire. But you know the Lyons ain’t having that. Cookie shows up to a TBD performance at a mall to handle her business. The group is a bunch of has-beens so they need all the money and attention they can get. Cookie offers them a deal with Empire for their anniversary album. They says they’ll be in the studio as long as they get an apology from Lucious for…whatever it is that he knows he did. You know pre-accident Lucious was trash. Later on, Lucious apologizes, but they don’t accept it because they think it’s disingenuous. They start talking about how Lucious sabotaged their last album, they feel some type of way about Cookie running things, etc—basically, they’re returning the petty and just like that, they leave because they say that have another deal on the table anyway. However, Lucious points out that it’s a smaller label with less money. Cookie is obviously annoyed when she learns it didn’t work out, but Lucious says he’s going to show her how to get it done the “Old fashion Empire way.” Uh oh. via GIPHY Surprisingly, the Empire way isn’t violent, but there are chess moves involved. Empire acquires the label TBD decided to sign too so now they’re stuck. The conditions are that they take back their dis track, apologize to Empire now, and perform at the showcase. If all goes well then they get to keep their reunion album. Finally, the episode winds down with a Lyon family dinner. It starts off innocently enough, with Cookie and Lucious telling Dre that he’s still going to be able to take the reigns of the business, not now, but down the line when he’s better. However, what is a Lyon family function without the dysfunction? via GIPHY Fast forward a bit. Dre and Lucious are alone in another room and Dre finally admits to Lucious he called the bomb. He said he tried to call it off if that’s any consolation, then hands Lucious a gun and tells him to do what he has to do. Lucious snaps and pistol whips Jamal. Think about this, Dre almost killed Cookie too. He didn’t anticipate Cookie getting in that car but that’s what happened, and we know how Lucious feels about her so that’s what that rage was really about. Luckily for Jamal, the rest of the Lyons rushed in and break it up. Hakeem and Jamal express how disappointed they are in Dre. They point out all the messed up things Lucious did to them, as well as the fact that they never tried to kill him. Cookie and Lucious are chatting at the same time in another room. Lucious says she doesn’t know what to do but he’s obviously shaken. Cookie tries to get Lucious to be positive by pointing out that Dre wasn’t in his right mind and that he’s getting back to his old self,, but then she collapses and says she can’t feel her right arm. Issa heart attack. Hopefully, we’ll find out Cookie’s fate next week.

Moses Robinson/Getty Images Out…of….pocket! Dr. Gregory Lunceford Says He Was Almost Extorted By A Woman He Took To A Hotel Room During part 2 of the explosive “Married To Medicine” reunion, one of the husbands dropped a major bomb. As previously reported the reunion’s been filled with tears and faceoffs including D Dr. Simone declaring that she’s divorcing her husband Cecil and Mariah Huq and Dr. Heavenly having a screaming match over a vandalized picture. Now, Dr. G is coming under fire for admitting to some scandalous behavior. The psychiatrist told the rest of the cast that he was almost extorted by a woman that he took to a hotel room. According to him, however, nothing happened—and he left the hotel room after having a change of heart and IMMEDIATELY went to his wife Ms. Quad for help. If you ask Quad however that’s simply untrue. Quad says that she heard about her husband’s possible dirty doggin’ via the thirsty trollop on social media after she threatened to expose him on TheShadeRoom with the hotel receipt. Dr. G: “We met these two girls and we went back to a hotel.” Quad: “This is how I found out, he didn’t initially tell me first. The girl said she had receipts, she said she was going to TheShadeRoom. Instead of my husband possibly taking a Curtis approach and taking ownership, he blamed it on me and said, “So are you gonna help me or what?” Dr. G: “If I had done it, I’d have to humble up but I didn’t do it” SMFH! D.r. G was dead azz wrong for that! Do you REALLY think nothing happened between Dr. G and the woman? Despite how you might feel about Quad doesn’t she deserve better than that?

Image via Getty Lil Wayne And Birdman’s Reunion Doesn’t Renege Lawsuit Don’t get it twisted. Lil Wayne and Baby were civil to each other at Club LIV this weekend, but that doesn’t mean that everything is all good. According to TMZ , Birdman and Birdman Jr still have major money issues, $51 million of them to be exact, that have to be settled in court. However, the men are working on improving their personal relationship and separating that from their soured business relationship. As one source put it: “They’re family and that’s bigger than money.” Yeah, ok. We’re not sure about y’all, but we can’t be cool if you owe men $51 of them M’s. Far as their impromptu meeting at LIV, neither man was aware of the other’s presence until DJ Stevie J shouted them out. Birdman’s REAL son went down to holla at Weezy and Weezy came up to hug his faux father. You hugging a person who owes you $51 million?
