The NBA is having a fashion show over All-Star weekend. You read that right. That means that all these unfashionable dudes get to show their tight a$$ outfits and shiny shirts for the world to see. Aren’t we blessed? Who’s going to win? Just look at these baller outfits and place your bets!
It seems like all that feuding that Claudia Jordan’s been doing with NeNe Leakes has paid off. The sharp tongued starlet who gave NeNe one of the best reality TV “reads” she’s ever receive, will return for season 8 of RHOA to continue her bickering and back biting with the rest of the cast.
The move is allegedly because the show’s execs just can’t get enough of her ongoing drama with her “uncooked ramen” rocking costar.
YAY!
Claudia Jordan‘s arrival on the Real Housewives of Atlanta has caused more fights than ever before, earning her the “most hated” status among the cast members. But RadarOnline.com has learned that it’s made her a favorite of producers — and they’re planning to ask her back for a second season!
“The Bravo executives LOVE Claudia,” a source told Radar. “Her personality is clashing with so many of the women and it has created great story lines. They’re really happy with her and want her back again.”
Despite NeNe Leakes‘ calling Jordan a “wh**e,” she’s made a few friends on the show, notably Kenya Moore and Cynthia Bailey. But it’s the antagonistic relationships that Bravo loves.“Claudia knows how to pick her battles and who to fight with,” the source explained. “Clashing with NeNe is the best thing she could have done on the show because it gets her a story line. NeNe is the queen of RHOA and so anyone that she hates is automatically going to get a lot of attention.”
Dear NeNe, if you dislike Claudia so much you might want to stop fighting with her. You’re giving her a storyline and insuring that her checks keep coming in.
What do YOU think about Claudia coming back for season 8 of RHOA???
Here’s some new music for your listening enjoyment…

On Black Actors Having to Take Turns in Hollywood:
It feels good that there’s not just one black person. I don’t like that we get fixated on one or two at a time, or three at a time.If you look at Caucasian Hollywood, every year there’s a handful of new faces you’ve never seen before, then after that, they got five movies coming out and they’re introducing you to more talent. So I’m just so happy to see what’s happening on television right now. We have options and that’s how it should be.
On “Empire” Being Stereotypical:
That’s what art is supposed to do: expose this sh*t. You know, we’re dealing with subject matter that’s not really dealt with…so let’s lift the carpet up and deal with this dirt. It’s not like we bashed Barack Obama and the show went off. No, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) jumped in his [son’s] a**. That’s real life stuff. So I’m glad you’re mad.”On Her Future Success:
I’ve come a long way from ‘Aye, that’s that girl from Baby Boy’ to now people know how to pronounce my name. But I’m just scratching the surface. For whatever reason, God gave me this life, and I’m not gon’ f**k it up.
We’ll definitely be tuning in to see more Cookie tonight on ‘Empire!’

In an interview with FOX 5 Atlanta Tuesday afternoon, the sister of singer Bobby Brown, Leolah Brown, said that Bobbi Kristina is ‘moving her eyes’ and doctors told the family ‘she is improving’. This new information comes amid widespread reports to the contrary. Brown said that Bobbi Kristina is on life support, but she is ‘doing well’.
While speaking to FOX 5’s Aungelique Proctor, Leolah Brown noted that she saw trouble coming for Bobbi Kristina. Brown said she warned Bobbi Kristina about who she chose to surround herself with.
We’re heard of women and transexuals turning to these extreme, unsafe measures to get the big booty of their dreams, but now it looks like men are getting in on back alley enhancements as well — and facing the consequences.
A back alley plastic surgeon, is facing new charges after allegedly killing a man via silicone injections to the penis back in 2011.
Despite the fact that she was already due in court on manslaughter charges due to the incident, 37-year-old Kasia Rivera faced new charges of illegally injecting a woman’s breasts and buttocks with silicone as well.
According to MailOnline, the back alley surgeon was first arrested in December 2011 after one of her clients, who attended a “pumping party” at her East Orange, NJ home, passed away.
Rivera allegedly injected silicone into 22-year-old Justin Street’s penis. Later that day, Street suffered a clot to the lungs as a result of a silicone embolism and eventually died the day after he received the injection.
His death was ruled a homicide once the cause of death was discovered. Police believe Rivera administered a similar shot procedure to several other partygoers at her home that day.
It’s a shame that people are willing to gamble with death just to fit into some box of what they think their body parts should look like.
So Sad. Via NYPost:

Wow, what a tragic end to his life. Our thoughts are with his family.

Vince Vaughn normally plays a dick or a doofus in his movies. But who knew that Vaughn was a dick in real life? According to Vaughn, in his new Playboy interview, affirmative action is racist.
So says the rich, white man.
In the interview, Vaughn discusses his newest movie, which I don’t care about, but the Q&A session veered into politics when Playboy asked him about his allegiance to Ron Paul, and then whether he believed in affirmative action:
So you’re not a fan of affirmative action?
I’ll answer that with a question. Do you believe that using race as a factor in evaluating a person is a good way to operate?
The idea is that those who have been at a disadvantage because of race deserve a leg up when it comes to landing opportunities.
But then you’re evaluating someone based on race, which is racism. Rights don’t come to you because you’re a man or a woman or African American or European or Jewish. And I certainly don’t think the federal government should be in the business of deciding things or handing out money based on factors like these. It’s the same with same-sex marriage. Who cares what people feel about each other? Let people decide for themselves who they can marry. It’s not the government’s job. It’s between you and your partner and your church or synagogue or whatever you believe in.
I think history has proven without a doubt that the proper role of government is to protect individuals’ rights and liberties. That has always been the most prosperous, freest society for people to live in. And when government gets too involved, society turns into a place that gets very, very ugly. But I think we’ve walked more into Crossfire here than Playboy.
Vince done really done it now. You gonna boycott his movies now, or nah?

Bobbi Kristina Brown was involved in a car crash just three days before she was found face down in a bathtub, Bossip has learned. The 21-year-old, who is now fighting for her life after a friend found her unconscious in her tub, hit another car Jan. 27, when she drifted into oncoming traffic, according to a Roswell Police accident report obtained by Bossip.
“At the scene it was found that the driver of a silver Jeep Liberty travelling Westbound had lost control of her vehicle, crossed in to the eastbound lanes and collided with a gray Ford Taurus,” the accident report stated.
Bobbi Kristina lists herself as a self-employed “entertainer,” according to the report.
Bobbi Kristina was driving her 18-year-old friend’s Jeep Liberty, with the friend, Danyela Da Silva, when she swerved into oncoming traffic and crashed into a Ford Taurus. The other driver, Russell John Eckerman, was taken to the hospital, along with one of Bobbi Kristina’s passengers. Police cited her for “Failure to Maintain Lane.”
A New York woman is either scamming a Manhattan restaurant or nearly died after chomping into a piece of fish that had a 2-inch hook in it.
The New York Daily News reports:
A Manhattan woman claims the “whole cooked” branzino fish she ordered at Villagio on Central Park South last August came garnished with a fishing hook — and she cut her mouth when she bit down on it.
But a Miami-based partner in Villagio accused her of planting the hook on the fish in order to shake the restaurant down for thousands of dollars.
“First, the hook was 3 inches long. How does that go in your mouth and you don’t notice it?” said Alexander Kalas.
Also, the branzino was from a fish farm and not “some isolated renegade from the ocean.”
“It was farmed and farmed fish are always caught in nets,” he said.
In court papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Aliona Russo said neither she nor her husband, Vincent, noticed the fishhook until she took a bite and “felt something unusual.”
“Removing the remnants of the piece of fish from her mouth, she was shocked” to discover the hook, the papers state.
“As other guests at the table looked on in awe, they documented the fact that the fish had been prepared and served with a large hook inside of it.”
The couple took a picture of the fish — whole grilled with lemon, olive oil and capers for $42 — and the hook and included both in the court filing.
Aliona Russo was “injured, both physically and psychologically,” the papers state.
So now the couple is seeking unspecified damages from the restaurant.
“This is not a little fishhook,” her lawyer, Jay Dankner, insisted. “It’s at least two inches long — longer with the string.”
Dankner said his fish-loving client now has nightmares about biting into another hook.
“She said she likes to suck the meat off the bones in the neck and then (de)bone the rest,” he said. “She never got that far.”
Kalas — whose swanky restaurant took over the space formerly occupied by Mickey Mantle’s Restaurant & Sports Bar — said Vincent Russo told staff right after the alleged incident that he would be willing to settle the case for $50,000.
“That’s extortion,” he said. “We’re filing a countersuit. We don’t think the fishhook was there.”
Hmmmmm…what do YOU think???? Did she really find a fish hook or is she just trying to get a come up????
Yeezus’ stage crashing and ranting about Beck is blowing up on him in a big way, and it’s looking like he can’t even count on the coupled up Carters as allies. Beyoncé’s lead guitarist even went on Facebook and pretty much confirmed the couple haven’t been feeling Ye as much since about two years ago — coincidentally around the time he and Kim went public.
She has since deleted that message but as we all know, nothing ever dies on the internet.

It’s lucky enough to get one celebrity in the family. But what about siblings? And siblings of different genders? These families lucked out by having successful brothers and sisters that people find attractive.
On Thursday, West premiered his Yeezy 750 Boost, his collaboration with Adidas and also dropped a new song from his upcoming album, straight on the runway. Just a few hours before his appearance at the First Annual Roc City Classic concert with Kevin Durant, ‘Ye debuted his new song “Wolves,” featuring Sia and Chicago rapper Vic Mensa — which he will presumably perform for the first time ever at the Roc City Classic.
The above audio was captured from the live debut.
So, what do you think BOSSIP fam? Hate it or love it?
Gotta be more careful! Via Washington Post:
The number of Americans requiring emergency room care for injuries involving sex toys has approximately doubled since 2007, according to data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Much of that increase happened in 2012 and 2013, following the release of the wildly popular erotic novels in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. And the overwhelming majority of these injuries — 83 percent — require “foreign body removals.”
The CPSC has tracked ER visits related to “massage devices and vibrators” going back to 1991. Until the early 2000s, there were a small number of these injuries each year — hence, the lighter shaded bars in the chart above represent low-confidence estimates. But around 2003, the number of these injuries surpassed the agency’s significance threshold, giving a greater degree of confidence in the numbers for the years after 2004.
Most of the injuries aren’t terribly severe, although some are. Seventy one percent of patients are treated and released, while 25 percent require hospitalization or transfer to a different facility. A handful end up refusing treatment. Some good news: none of the cases required assistance from the fire department, and there were zero deaths recorded.
Don’t you all go out there getting any ideas if you see the movie this weekend…pace yourself with the freaky isht!
