Get To Know “Fresh Cuts Showcase” Winner Shae Harmony

Shae Harmony Wins “Fresh Cuts Showcase” If you’ve been keeping up, you already know that Snow Hill, NC native Shae Harmony is the winner of our latest Fresh Cuts showcase. Her journey to becoming the champion wasn’t easy, she actually is a return contestant who claimed the crown this year after coming close in last year’s competition but falling just short of the crown. “I almost didn’t want to try again,” Shae Harmony tells BOSSIP of her decision to re-enter the contest. “But the feedback the judges gave last year was very helpful. That down-to-earth critique gave me something concrete to focus on and I knew I had grown in the time from the last one so I decided to give it another go.” Courtesy Shae Harmony Shae, who works full time as a third-grade teacher in Atlanta’s public school system says she’s glad she came back, because she had a real connection with the other contestants, especially Triumph who hails from her same city in North Carolina. “Triumph’s dad David Payton was an accomplished playwright,” Shae recalled. “I actually sang Beyonce’s “Listen” in his play “You Betta Put That Woman First” when I was in high school so it was really good to reconnect with her.” Another bonus to the competition was the African Pride sponsored makeover — something that helped her feel at ease on stage. “I loved the makeover, everything about the wardrobe was so ‘Shae’,” the singer tells BOSSIP. Shae admits her biggest battle has always been nerves. The southern beauty says she’s always been one to sing around the house, but her shyness held her back from fully shining when she was young. Shae Harmony “I guess I was probably 8 or so when I did my first performance for church,” Shae recalls. “I was so shy, but after that the y MADE me join the choir.” “My family really pushed me to use my gift growing up and constantly reminded me that my God-given talent shouldn’t be wasted.” She may have gotten her start in the church, but both her look and sound has been amplified with a confidence and sex appeal she wasn’t afraid to show. Nerves may have gotten the best of her in last year’s competition but there was no stopping her this time around! “I just really worked on being comfortable,” Shae said, revealing that the battle round was another tough challenge. “Songwriting is something you either have or you don’t. I just tried to think about what black love, which was my theme, meant to me. I definitely did my best but that was one of the things I wasn’t sure about because the competition was really strong as well.” With the competition behind her, Shae’s got her sights set on even bigger challenges. Her first single “Be Careful” is currently on iTunes and she’s planning to shoot a video in March that will also be released this month. Shae also says she’s at work on her first EP which she hopes to release this spring.

Chloe Chrisley: Returning to Chrisley Knows Best

Chrisley Knows Best is returning for its sixth season. The reality series owes much of its success to how utterly ridiculous the various members of the Chrisley family are. But there's one family member who isn't ridiculous. In fact, she's universally adored. And her name is Chloe Chrisley. You can see more of this precious cutie in the video below. And she's coming back to the show for this entire new season. As you may recall from the first three seasons of Chrisley Knows Best , Chloe Chrisley is is just five years old. (The new season will feature Chloe's fifth birthday, in fact) She's actually Todd Chrisley's granddaughter. However, he and his wife Julie have custody over Chloe. Chloe's father, Kylie Chrisley, is a troubled man who has dealt with issues such as drug addiction. Yeah, that's Kyle Chrisley's mug shot. Like we said, Todd and Julie have custody of their little granddaughter. As for the decision to bring back Chloe for the sixth season, Todd Chrisley told Us Weekly : “Chloe is our family, and we are glad that the world gets to see such a beautiful child grow, explore and come into herself so brilliantly through love and respect.” Obviously, the decision to broadcast the life of a young child on camera is usually a controversial one. Being on camera is work, and it's also an invasion of privacy that a preschool-aged child can't really consent to. On the other hand, from Chloe's point of view, she's basically just living her life with cameras. Chloe's precious-beyond-words presence in the show's sixth season isn't all that fans can eagerly anticipate. The family is moving into a new home. Nanny Faye — Todd Chrisley's mother — will be returning. She's a fan-favorite and viewers will no doubt be delighted at her presence, as she and Todd often enjoy “pranking” each other. But one storyline will feature Todd's children, Chase and Savannah, agonizing over their respective relationships. As it turns out, their storylines might go much deeper than one would think. Todd Chrisley revealed last year that talks were underway that might lead to Savannah and Chase getting their own spin-off series. Already, Savannah drives up interest quite a bit. We don't mean to suggest that her only value is her looks — which is simply not true — but she is gorgeous. Like, beauty pageant levels of gorgeous. On the downside, there's a history of Savannah getting into frightening car crashes . Automobile accents are bad, but making a habit of them is worse. Chase is known for his sitcom-level get rich schemes, often in the company of his friend Peter. No one question's Chase's entertainment value. The idea of the potential spin-off would be to follow the adult siblings as they journey into being grown-ups. And, in the process, as they horrify their parents into an early grave. Right now, though, fans can get pumped for Season Six of Chrisley Knows Best , which begins airing this spring. Check out this video below of the adorable Chloe, whom fans will soon get to see reach one of life's major milestones — her fifth birthday!

Khloe Kardashian: Check Out MY Baby Bump!

Khloe Kardashian has sent a pretty clear message to Kylie Jenner. And it goes something like this: Move over, sis! Your time in the spotlight is up! Indeed, the entire Internet is aflutter with talk of Kylie after the 20-year old gave birth to a daughter on February 1 and then announced her name on Tuesday afternoon. Stormi. Her daughter’s name is Stormi Webster . But that’s in the past. The birth has taken place, Kylie (or a nanny) is now up all night with the precious bundle of joy and Khloe is ready for the world to move on… … to HER impending precious bundle of joy! Lest anyone forget, Kardashian is also pregnant. This actually has been easy to overlook because sister Kim welcomed a third child via surrogate a few weeks ago (say hello to Chicago West !), while Kylie just welcome her very first. Last, but certainly not least in this shocking run of Kardashians and kids, Khloe is expecting either a boy or a girl with serious boyfriend Tristan Thompson. And she’d like to remind everyone of this fact. “Baby mama KoKo! 29 Weeks and counting,” Khloe wrote as a caption to the first photo shared above last night. In the image, the mother-to-be is very made up and looking quite intense. She has full lips and a face full of mascara and her hand is cradling her baby bump. “Glam: @styledbyhrush Hair: @andrewfitzsimons Hair Color: @traceycunningham1,” Khloe added in her caption, giving props to ber beauty team. Unlike her half-sibling, Khloe has not kept quiet about this pregnancy… nor has it even prevented her from taking off some clothes online. To wit, the photo she shared right before this baby bump image: “The first trimester is the worst,” Kardashian told Ellen DeGeneres on a recent visit to her talk show, opening up and adding: “And no one knows you’re pregnant yet, and you feel the most uncomfortable.” She continued at the time, gushing over Thompson: “He’s so great, just during the pregnancy, I think he makes me more excited, too.” As for what gender child Kardashian will give birth to this spring? She is yet to say. However… Khloe posted some photos on Snapchat this week from her baby shower, which was adorned with pink decorations. Yes, PINK. This would imply that Khloe is set to be the third straight member of her family to welcome a baby girl in a matter of months. Back in late December, Kardashian excitedly announced she was expecting via a close-up of her baby bump and a caption that partly read: My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can’t believe that our love created life! We know how badly Khloe has wanted to become a mother and we know what kind of struggle it has been for her. We therefore could not be happier for an E! reality star. Congrats, Keeks and Tristan!

Exclusive: Nelly Claims Alleged Rape Accuser Is “Scandalizing” Case; Woman Fires Back

PARIS, FRANCE – JANUARY 23: Nelly poses with Shantel Jackson at the Ralph&Russo Haute Couture After Party Spring Summer 2017 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 23, 2017 in Paris, France. (Photo by Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage) Monique Greene Suing Nelly For Rape Nelly has complained that his rape accuser is filling her court filings with “scandalous” info that isn’t relevant to their sex assault and defamation case to hurt the rapper’s rep, but the woman said she is simply fighting fire with fire. Lawyers for the St. Louis rapper filed court docs Monday asking the court to bar portions of his accuser Monique Greene’s new complaint, arguing that she purposely put “impertinent, immaterial, redundant and scandalous” information in it – like a photo of Nelly in handcuffs and allegations from two more women who said Nelly assaulted them – in order to curry public favor and smear Nelly. Greene sued Nelly last year, contending his handlers lured her to his tour bus after a Seattle club appearance, where he raped her. However, Greene stopped working with law enforcement, and Nelly was not criminally charged. But Greene fired back in her own filing on Tuesday, and said she had no reason to overhype the alleged incident, because the circumstances around it were already lurid to begin with. Greene said Nelly has gone on a PR offensive to discredit her every chance he got, and even got his girlfriend Shantel Jackson in on the act. “This is a sexual assault and defamation lawsuit that is ‘scandalous’ by its very nature,” lawyers for the 21 year old club hostess wrote in court papers. “It involves a celebrity who chose a college student half his age to rape. It is a case that is of interest to the media which defendant Nelly has made full use of by having his lawyer issue media releases and appear on television; by not just protesting his innocence but threatening legal action against his victim during the initial stages of the criminal investigation; by having his girlfriend publish an alibi; and by having his spokesperson deliver legal documents to media outlets as soon as they are filed.” A judge has yet to rule on whether or not to strike portions of Greene’s complaint.

Kylie Jenner Can’t Stop Eating, Cruel Report Alleges

We finally have an answer to this ongoing pressing question: Where in the world is Kylie Jenner? And the answer is this: Someplace with a giant plate of food in front of her! Indeed, according to a pretty mean new report by Radar Online, the 20-year old is not sharing new photos on Instagram and not appearing in public because she’s embarrassed. She’s ashamed. She’s downtrodden. And it’s not just because she’s pregnant. ” Kylie’s been eating non-stop and has gained a tremendous amount of weight,” an insider claims to Radar, adding: “She is not eating healthy, either, so it is not making her situation any better.” This is common for any woman that is expecting, of course. How many times have you heard a pregnant person joke that she is “eating for two?” Kylie, however, has made a living from posing in scantily-clad outfits and in sharing every detail of her personal life with her fans. For this reason, those same fans are growing irritated over the lack of Jenner’s baby bump . They’re sick of the games and just want Kylie to come out and admit she’s expecting a child with semi-serious boyfriend Travis Scott. But Radar writes that Jenner has gained 60 pounds in just a few months and it’s all because she has a “big breakfast, big lunch, big dinner and tons of snacks in between.” As a result, she can’t bear to show off her figure to, well, pretty much anyone. This is actually pretty sad, if true. Kylie has created a life for herself in which she can’t be her true self… unless that true self is svelte and sexy and all of that. “She gorges on food and blames it on being pregnant, but says that she is always hungry,” Radar alleges, writing that the star “hides her [body] in oversized clothes” these days. Because Jenner has not issued any sort of statement regarding her pregnancy, we don’t know for sure when she’s due or whether she’s having a boy or a girl. But we hear the baby will arrive early this spring and be a female. We’ve also heard disturbing reports that Kylie will try to get emergency weight loss surgery as soon as she gives birth. She’s that desperate to shed this baby weight. Her sisters and other loved ones are against this dangerous idea, but Jenner simply isn’t thinking clearly at the moment. “She thinks she is morbidly obese right now,” the Radar insider says. “After she gives birth, she is planning on checking into a fat farm for six weeks. “If that doesn’t work, she will resort to using a procedure like limo or cool sculpting to shed the pounds.” Again, we can’t verify the accuracy of this allegation. Kylie Jenner Pregnancy Reveal: This is How It’ll Happen! But even in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians clip where Kylie seemingly tells her family that she’s pregnant (above), we do NOT see Kylie’s body. We simply see her face over the phone. This has to lend at least some credence to the possibility that Kylie really has gained a great deal of weight and really does feel awful about it. The truth, however, is that we’ll never know for certain. We have no way of shooting down this claim until Jenner herself comes out and does what she is apparently afraid to do: She has to make herself visible to the world.
