Is NeNe Leakes Dissing Cynthia Bailey???

Remember when we told you that NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield were getting close again on “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta”??? 

Well it looks like we might have been right about their budding friendship considering that NeNe’s seemingly over her newly rekindled bestie Cynthia Bailey. 

Over the weekend NeNe shared a photo of herself and her friends taking in Super Bowl 50. She also sent some shade towards Cynthia Bailey a.k.a. her “TV BFF.”

“#NoFlipFlopping” she captioned the photo.

Mind you Cynthia’s been called a “flip flopper” several times on RHOA.

What do YOU think about NeNe shading Cynthia???

It was all good just a few weeks ago…

This year, the theme of Black History Month at the White House is “Honoring the Past While Celebrating the Present; 7 Years of Living African American History.” As part of this celebration, First Lady Michelle Obama will highlight the contributions African American women have made to dance by hosting a day-long dance workshop for local students.

These students will work with iconic leaders in dance, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Judith Jamison, Debbie Allen, the Dance Theatre of Harlem’s Virginia Johnson, and Hip-Hop choreographer Fatima Robinson.

Each of these women have played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of African American women and girls in dance.

Khloe Kardashian Breaks Up With James Harden

Looks like Khloe Kardashian is back on the market. After months of juggling an ailing husband and a baller boyfriend, Khloe gave James Harden the boot after she got confirmation that she wasn’t exactly the only woman on his radar.

Via US Weekly:

Khloé Kardashian is back on the market. The Strong Looks Better Naked author, 31, has split from boyfriend James Harden, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly.

“She dumped him weeks ago,” the source tells Us of the Kocktails With Khloe host, who first stepped out with the Houston Rockets player, 26, last July.

In recent months, however, the two were plagued by split rumors. In January, Harden was photographed hitting up a strip club with Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend, Tyga, after which Kardashian shared a cryptic quote reading, “Stay away from people who make you feel like you are hard to love.”

Of course, Khloe wasn’t camped out in her emotions just because James went to the club. He was also caught dipping out of the stripper spot with another braided up white woman:

Well, she sure is unforgiving as a “polygamist.” Khloe has a whole husband packed away somewhere that she’s always running off to spend time with…seems like she’s understand James wanting to spend a night out with a female friend of his own watching a real azz or two jiggle and gyrate.

Of course, considering that Khloe is still besties with benefits with French Montana and always over at Lamar’s house kicking it…we doubt that James is really going too far from her life.

Wonder who she’ll add to her collection next?

Janice Dickinson’s Defamation Case Against Cosby Is Dismissed

Damn, looks like Cosby’s defense is getting the job done. He just scored a legal victory over Janice Dickinson, with a judge siding with him to dismiss part of her complaint.

According to Deadline reports:

An L.A. Superior Court judge Tuesday agreed with the actor-comedian’s lawyers to toss an amended complaint by Janice Dickinson in her defamation suit against Cosby and his former attorney Marty Singer. In a tentative ruling read from the bench, Judge Debra Weintraub also allowed Singer to be dismissed from the case.

Weintraub noted to Dickinson’s attorney Lisa Bloom and the assembled lawyers for all sides that the original complaint remains in play and “we are moving this case along …we will see everyone here on February 29 at 8:30.” Cosby, Singer and Dickinson were not in the courtroom today.

The former America’s Next Top Model judge claims Cosby raped her in 1982 and that his then-lawyer Singer branded her a “liar” in late 2014 when she brought the incident up. Dickinson took the matter to court in May, and last fall she filed an amended complaint formally naming Singer a defendant.

“The primary focus of this case has always been against Bill Cosby and remains against Bill Cosby,” said Bloom after the brief hearing. “We will continue to fight the case against Bill Cosby,” the lawyer added, noting Singer being unhooked from the matter.

On December 1, Cosby’s recently retained attorneys moved to have Dickinson’s first amended complaint struck or dismissed because they argued it shouldn’t have been filed before there was ruling on The Cosby Show creator’s previous motion to have the matter tossed on free-speech and anti-SLAPP grounds. Singer, who ceased repping Cosby in late October, joined that motion on December 4.

On November 2, Weintraub ordered that Cosby and Singer sit for depositions in Dickinson’s allegation. Both the lawyer and the much-accused Cosby — who now has more than 50 women claiming they were sexually assaulted by him over the decades — were spared the depos in late November. On November 12, the 2nd District Court of Appeals laid down a temporary stay on the scheduled depositions. Both parties have since filed more briefs in the action, with Dickinson wanting the stay lifted and Cosby’s team wanting it keep in place and Weintraub’s ruling came down. A decision from the Appeal Court tossed the whole matter back to the Superior Court before making additional rulings on the depositions.

Seems like old man Cos might actually make it through all this legal mess unscathed. Do you think Dickinson and the other women will ever see justice for what they’ve alleged happened?

Chicago Woman Killed By Stray Bullet While Talking To Father On The Phone

CBSChicago is reporting a parent’s worst nightmare…

Aaren O’Connor moved to Chicago from San Diego more than a year ago for a new job and to be closer to her boyfriend.

Her father says he was fearful something bad might happen to her. Friday night, his worst fear came true.

David O’Connor talked with his daughter, who complained of a pain in her head.

“I didn’t realize at the time but I was just having the last conversation with my daughter,” he says.

Neither he nor Aaren knew she had been shot in the head while sitting in her car outside her Pilsen apartment. The father only found out what happened after reaching Aaren’s boyfriend, who called her roommate to check on her.

The roommate found Aaren unresponsive in her car. She was rushed to the hospital but died Sunday.

We can’t even begin to imagine the pain that this father and family is feeling after this kind of loss. R.I.P. Aaren O’Connor. The gun play in Chicago has GOT to come to an end.

Raven Symone Gets Blasted Over Beyoncé “Formation” Comments

While the vast majority of people were inspired by Baddie Bey’s black pride filled “Formation” video, at least one person wasn’t impressed.

Raven Symone took to “The View” this week to comment on the video that according to her was “hilarious.”

“The new video from Beyonce is hilarious and amazing, and all the Beyhives will be coming for me, but I miss Beyonce singing a ballad in a dress,” said Raven. “I miss that girl singing. I’ve seen you dance, I miss you. Where’s the ‘Me, Myself and I?’”

Uhhhhh…what was funny about it Raven???

Raven has since added on Instagram that “normal is boring” seemingly addressing her contrasting view of the video.

She’s of course getting relentlessly roasted for completely missing the messages of pride and resilience against oppression in Bey’s latest work.

Sit down (once again) hating azz Raven.

Has Kim Kardashian Been Meeting With Divorce Attorney Laura Wasser About Kanye West?

Looks like those KimYe divorce rumors are still going strong.

Via RadarOnline:

The reality star and new mom’s 21-month marriage to Kanye West is reportedly on the rocks, and Kardashian has gone as far as secretly paying a visit to top divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, claims Heat.
“Kim loves Kanye, but they have been fighting constantly recently,” a friend close to Kardashian said.

As a result, Kardashian, 35, has enlisted the help of Wasser, who confirmed to the publication that the reality star is a client.

“Kim met with Laura over the weekend,” said an insider. “She was at breaking point and needed to talk through where she stood with Kanye.”

“People can think Kim’s a bit vacuous, but when it comes to money matters, she’s incredibly switched on,” added the insider.

Though Kardashian insisted to Wasser that she wasn’t quite ready to abandon her marriage with 38-year-old West just yet, “She wants to make sure she’s protected in case it ever did happen,” said the insider.

“They seem to bicker over everything, from how long it takes to get ready, to how much Kanye hates living at her mom Kris‘ house while their house is being renovated, to his temper, to how much he’s away for work,” noted the insider.

“Kim’s been getting increasingly stressed and unhappy. She’s tired all the time and thinks her husband should help out more. She doesn’t know how to fix things.”

Divorce rumors always seem to be floating around but sometimes where there’s smoke there’s fire. Don’t think anybody (except maybe Kris Humphries) was blindsided the last time Kim filed riiiiiight?

We hope for North and Saint’s sakes that Kanye gets it together SOON.

Transgender Man To Cover Mens Health Germany

Mens’ Health magazine is featuring a transgender man on the cover of their German edition for the first time ever. The model, who won a national contest, began his transition at age 23, and now has a manly body that is able to be featured as an example of peak male fitness and physique. Via People:

In a groundbreaking move, the April cover of Germany’s edition of Men’s Health will feature a transgender man.

Transgender fitness model Ben Melzer won the magazine’s cover model contest, earning him the cover honors.

Born as Yvonne, Melzer started transitioning at age 23.

“This is me and I’m very happy with the person I became,” he says. “My inside and my outside finally fit and that’s why I’m not at all ashamed to talk about it.”

Which is how he gained the courage to share his story and enter the cover contest.

“Many ask me, ‘Why do you do this, why did you go public and tell your story?’ ” Melzer explains. “But that’s easy to answer. When I was in that situation, I had nobody to talk to, nobody to ask all this questions. That’s what I want to do. I want to give the community a face, stand up and answer those questions for people.”

Germany is surprisingly behind America’s curve on this one. The US edition of Mens’ Health actually had a transgender cover model last year through a similar cover model contest — a man by the name of Aydian Dowling:

It’s definitely a new day! What do you think of Mens’ Health’s inclusion of transgender fitness? It’s interesting…one would think a person born female would have a much tougher time reaching mens’ fitness standards. They may have had a greater hurdle to jump to achieve these bodies…

Idris Elba Splits With Naiyana Garth

Looks like K. Michelle’s wildest dreams have come true. Right in the midst of a successful awards season for his film “Beasts Of No Nation,” Idris Elba has split with the mother of his youngest child, Naiyana Garth. The couple began dating in late 2013 and Idris knocked Naiyana up very early in their relationship.

These two have called it quits after nearly three years together…after Idris was spotted tip toeing out of the club with Naomi Campbell…

Via MailOnline:

Luther star Idris Elba has reportedly split from his longtime girlfriend Naiyana Garth.

The actor, 43, decided to move out of the London home he shared with the make-up artist and his son Winston, The Sun has claimed.

He has now moved into a nearby apartment to remain close to his 22-month-old child.

A source tells the newspaper: ‘They’ve kept it very quiet…. It’s very sad that this has happened while Idris is experiencing the highest points of his professional career and they can’t celebrate it with each other.’

Elba and Garth began dating in early 2013, with the pretty brunette soon falling pregnant.

News of their separation comes after the hunk was spotted enjoying a night out with supermodel Naomi Campbell.

The handsome pair seemed to have linked up while Stateside and were pictured leaving the prestigious 1 Oak nightclub at the same time.

Hmm…well maybe they’re just friends??

Time will tell. Sad this couple couldn’t work it out for their seed!
