Pharrell Williams Say Miley Cyrus Is “A Threat”

Via MTVUK

Pharrell Williams has branded Miley Cyrus “a threat”, exclusively telling MTV News UK that the world needs to “get ready” for the star’s new album, Bangerz.

We caught up with the N.E.R.D. star – who has worked with Cyrus on the LP – at the GQ Men of the Year Awards last night (September 3), where he had nothing but praise for the We Can’t Stop singer.

Speaking of what people can expect from the former Hannah Montana actress’ forthcoming record, Pharrell was keen to defend her raunchy routine at the 2013 MTV VMAs, insisting that twerking is not all what Miley is about.

He told our Becca Dudley: “The world has no idea who she really is, they’ve gotten just a slice.

“If you think about it, when you were 20-year’s old and you threw caution to the wind, you did so. Your friends were around, your family was around, strangers were around but it was in the confines of your own privacy, she’s done so in public.”

Williams continued: “It’s interesting because while everyone thinks they know who she is and what she’s all about now, and they’re like, ‘Oh, we got it. We saw that performance, we know.’ You have no idea.

Skateboard P goes on to say:

“I’ll say this, I’ll remind you she’s from Nashville, her dad is Billy Ray Cyrus and her godmother is Dolly Parton. All I’m saying is, get ready. That girl’s a threat.”

When probed further for his views on THAT steamy stint on stage at the VMAs, Pharrell went on: “I commend anybody that unzips and bares what they’re thinking to the world, cleared for judgement – especially the way she did it, it’s so smart dude.

“Like when you guys hear the rest of the music, you’ll be like, ‘Oh, we thought it was just one thing,’ which was totally awesome, but wait until you hear that tone. I’m telling you.”

Are you threatened by Miley’s new album?

Claudia Jordan gets oiled up and lets it all hang out on the beach in MIA

Claudia Jordan Does Swimsuit Photo Shoot On The Beach

Former model turned Hollyweird actress and “Tiny Tonight” talk show co-host Claudia Jordan has still got the goods and is not afraid to show them off.

Claudia recently hit up Miami Beach to do a swimsuit photo shoot where she put her oiled up cakes in blizzy blast for 2 different swimsuit looks.

She certainly has a lot of competition what with all of the other bangin’ bawwdied celebrity 40-somethings like Lisa Raye, Naomi Campbell, Halle Berry, J.Lo and Nicole Murphy to name a few, but we think she’s doing a pretty good job of holding her own.

What say you, Bossip fam? Is Claudia still a certified banger?

WENN

Dear Bossip,

I never thought I’d be one day writing to you, but, alas!

I met this charming tall black man six weeks ago after being single for four years. We went out on our first date and I knew then he was trouble. At the time, I was packing to start my doctorate degree 1000km away, so I figured it wouldn’t go anywhere. He kept on calling and texting throughout the day, each day and I started to warm up to him.

He came to visit me last weekend and I had the time of my life. The sex was out of this world! Best I ever had. Now, here’s the problem, I have a couple of issues with him:

1. He has 5 kids. I kid you not! He has 5 baby mamas, which is drama times 5. I’ve always chose not to date anyone with kids, well, at least one if I’m relaxing my standards. But 5? Who has 5 kids by age 35 in this day and age? I don’t think I wanna deal with that.

2. His lifestyle. He’s into the hottest parties, the most expensive booze.

3. I’m not sure if he can be faithful. My intuition tells me I’m not the only one, but of course he would never admit it.

4. He’s not a Christian. I want a man who has a relationship with God.

5. He drinks too much.

I like this man, he makes me laugh, and he’s very affectionate. I’ve never been happier, but I can’t fully relax because he breaks all the rules. My friends have said over time that my standards are too high that’s why I’ll always be single. I don’t mind being single by the way. Am I relaxing my standards too much for this man or should I stick to my list? – Happy and Confused

Dear Ms. Happy and Confused,

Here we go with another damn grown a** woman with education smarts, but no damn common sense! SMDH! Why oh why do you supposedly smart, educated, intelligent women continue to write these no-brainer letters about no good trifling men and pursuing relationships with them? Why? Please explain to me the logic in this! UGH!! Every time I see these letters I just shake my head and scream. I truly wish I could reach the damn screen and smack the –ish out of y’all!

But, since I can’t reach the screen, I’m going to ask you to politely reach up and smack yourself and knock your wig lop-sided.

Ma’am, what doctoral program are you in? Are you sure it’s a real university or college? You must be getting your doctorate in dumba** simpleness.

Why would you compromise your standards over a man who is 35-years old, and he has five kids with five different women? What logical sense does it make to be in a relationship with this man, or attempt to be in a relationship with him? And, ma’am, think about his carefully and understand that you are in school pursuing your doctorate. With that, his partying, drinking, and procreating with different women leaves me to deduce that he ain’t –ish, ain’t doing –ish, and ain’t about –ish! Please wake your a** up and be real about this situation and what the real possibilities are about this.

I’m sure you don’t want to be baby momma number six, so, please leave this man alone, focus on your studies, and be about your business. He is only interested in screwing you, literally and figuratively. He is not serious about a relationship because if he was then he would be with one of his five baby mommas. And, hell to the naw, he is not ever going to be serious about you. He’s a philandering male whore. And, if you keep spreading your legs for him then I’m confident that you will be baby momma number six, and then I’ll be getting another letter from you and why he won’t commit to you, and he keeps making promises but not following through, and you keep finding out he is cheating. Girl, grow up and be a woman and give that man several seats out of your life.

And, if you have standards and morals, then why are you compromising? There are five things you’ve listed that do not fit your criteria. HELLO! What the hell are you contemplating? Why compromise? Just because your friends tell you that your standards are too high, so you’re going to listen to them? Then I tell you what, tell them to date him. The hell!! Ask them if they would date him and pursue a relationship with him. I bet none of them would. What kind of friends you got? Get rid of ‘em if they are telling you to date that man.

And, so what he makes you happy. Ma’am, it’s temporary and fleeting happiness. He is telling you what you want to hear, and giving you good sex. Stop confusing this with love and like. The only thing you like is that he is giving you good d**k, making your body feel good, and telling you things that sounds good for now. Start using your qualitative and quantitative reasoning and be honest with yourself. This man is not good for you. How the hell can he be a serious candidate for a relationship and he has five children with five different women? This means he is paying child support, if he is paying child support, to five different women. Where is he getting money from to travel to see you, and hang out with you? This will all come to an end real quick. Trust!

And, if he spending all this time with you, and traveling to see you, then how is he spending any quality time with his children? Will you please think damnit!

But, again, this is what happens once a woman gets some good d**k after she’s been single for a while. He bangs you out, have you doing tricks, and contorting your body all over the bed, floor, counter, and walls, and you lose your damn mind. Sigh! It’s so sad that the FDA will not put d**k on its list of dangerous drugs.

Ladies, here’s the warning label: Getting good d**k will cause serious side effects. You will have lingering moments of relapse and your body will jerk, and convulse at odd times just by thinking of it. Your cooch will twitch, pulsate, and throb from the after affects. You will find yourself daydreaming, feigning, itching, scratching, and your body will have withdrawals. Your thoughts and common sense will be convoluted. Your judgment will become cloudy and you won’t be able to rationalize every day simple things and tasks. You will find yourself stalking his Facebook, Twitter, Instagram pages. You will call him insistently, checking on him and his whereabouts. You will do drive-bys of his home, job, or other whereabouts to make sure he is there. You’ll even compromise your own body, and stop using condoms because he tells you that he doesn’t like how they feel, and he will put out.

In the end, he is not good for you. He’s not what you want, doesn’t fit your criteria, and will never be the man for you. So, don’t settle. He is simply out to make you baby momma number six. And, if you want to be in that number, then knock yourself out, boo. – Terrance Dean

This guy is pretty funny but his abs are no joke. This actor shot a selfie of his six-pack stomach earlier this week on Twitter. He used to be pretty skinny but it looks like he’s gotten more cut up recently.

Awww isn’t new love the best? iCarly actress Jennette McCurdy has the fever for the flavor of Detroit Pistons baller Dre Drummond. The couple was spotted at the Grove and out to dinner in L.A. on Tuesday.

Some details on the new couple via TMZ:

The celebrity relationship born on Twitter is still going strong for “iCarly” star Jennette McCurdy and Detroit Pistons star Andre Drummond … ’cause last night the two went out for a romantic dinner in L.A. and TMZ has the footage.

In case you’re unaware, 20-year-old Drummond revealed his longtime crush on 21-year-old McCurdy over the past couple of months during “Woman Crush Wednesdays” on Twitter … posting several pics of the Nickelodeon star.

Once she got word of his interest, she reached out … and the two hooked up in real life late last week.

Tuesday night … it appeared their relationship was still going strong — the two were spotted holding hands on their way out of Madeo in West Hollywood.

FYI — Drummond ran the whole date in style … using a driver to chauffeur the couple to and from the restaurant.

Want to avoid black people who live in low-income neighborhoods and look “unsafe?” There’s an app for that.

New “Ghetto Tracker” App Faces Public Backlash

All these racist, non-minority “people” running around violently attacking others based on their skin color and getting away with it yet they’re the ones who don’t feel safe?

Now, aint THAT about a beyotch.

via Huffington Post

In less than 24 hours, a new app tactfully titled Ghetto Tracker–a service seeking to help people identify safe areas in unfamiliar cities–has already garnered enough backlash to prompt an immediate name change to Good Part of Town.

However, the PR move may not do much to alter the public’s reception of the app, which critics are slamming as a racist, classist app for helping the rich to avoid the poor.

The app functions by allowing locals to rate the safety of different parts of a given area. According to The Week, the original launch of the page featured a white family of four smiling alongside the app’s promise to show users “which parts of town are safe and which ones are ghetto, or unsafe.”

In addition to the name change, all mention of the word “ghetto” has been removed from the site. The site now features an ethnically diverse family on its homepage.

So who’s going to come up with the app that does a bird call when within a mile radius racist azz white people? Wait, nevermind. Then there’d never be any silence anywhere……ever.

Dear Bossip,

Please don’t go hard on me (LOL!) I’ve been “with” this guy on and off for five years. We started talking to on Facebook, and that is where our relationship happens.

Although we’ve never met we have such a beautiful connection. When we first started talking he sold drugs. He was actually shot the first day we started speaking and had to walk on crutches. I never found that sexy actually. I think drug dealers are the scum of the earth but I saw potential in him.

A couple of months into getting to know each other he said he had given up that life of a D boy and wanted to open up several businesses. Being a business owner I would always give him tips. He then gave up that dream and wanted to become a rapper and I was not totally with it, but I stood by his side. He later gave that up and he said he had become a home health aide. We ended up getting into an argument and stopped talking for several months.

He started to message me on Facebook again and exchanged numbers. Everything was great and then he went to jail for a month. I made myself clear I would not be speaking to him again because he constantly kept committing crimes and telling me he would change but made no effort.

We would still speak here and there but not every day like before. He ended up having a baby with another girl. Although we were never “together, together” and he was free to do whatever he wanted I still felt hurt. He didn’t even tell me about a girlfriend or having a baby. I found out on FACEBOOK! Yes, FACEBOOK. I confronted him about it and he didn’t deny it. I already told him I don’t date men with kids but I fell so hard for him.

We ended up dating other people but still flirting a little. One day he laid all his feelings on the table and was supposed to visit me, but he flaked. We planned on rescheduling at some point but did not make a date. We continued to talk every day. I had a feeling he had been up to no good because he would sell things on his Instagram and Facebook page (iPads, sneakers, jewelry, etc.). So, I asked him where he was getting all this brand new stuff to sell and he said he and his friends were opening up a sneaker store blah blah blah. They were selling the merchandise on Instagram until the store was ready.

I was skeptical because of his past and I didn’t really believe him. I started to question him about the business and he had no idea what he was doing. He kept saying he had partners and his friends knew what they were doing, He had no business plan and beside that he and his
friends literally just decided to open a store out of the blue, and they planned on doing it in 1 month. I kept asking questions because honestly who opens a store in a month? I just felt like he was gonna get the –ish stick, or he was just plain lying and doing something illegal. Turns out the plan for the store was real, they had signs made and booked the location of the store.

Out of NOWHERE he stopped contacting me and stopped updating his social networking sites. I had such a bad feeling something happened so I checked his Facebook and sure enough he was in jail. I was so upset. He was telling me he was doing the right thing, and he was so assuring that he was on a good path. I was at home watching the news one day and he came up. He was arrested for selling heroin. He also had his barely 1 year old daughter with him while making a drug deal. He ended up selling drugs to an undercover cop and going to jail on criminal sale of a controlled substance and endangering the welfare of a child. I’m staring at my TV in such shock feeling betrayed like WHAT THE HELL!!!! He was lying to me!!!! And, the fact that he took his daughter with him to sell drugs??? I checked his Facebook daily, his twitter, Instagram EVERYTHING in hopes he gets out.

I don’t know how long someone gets for those types of charges. I have not been to his court dates and I don’t know his friends. So, I’m just left in the dust as to what’s happening. I’m so upset I really care and have deep feelings for him even though we’ve never met. I know he feels the same. I just feel soooooooo betrayed, angry, annoyed ugh! I’m sitting here like a dummy on the inmate lookup website so I can find out info, and nothing has been updated yet. I’m so lost if he does get out should I cut all ties with him and just forget him? Or should I stand by his side and hope he doesn’t mess up again? Those charges are serious. I doubt he’ll be out anytime soon on those charges. By the way he’s been in jail for 3 months now. – In Love With An Inmate

Dear Ms. In Love With An Inmate,

Face palm! Face palm! Face palm! Wait, hold up. Why am I face palming myself, let slap some grease on my hand and face palm your dumb a**!

Ma’am, really! Really? You want me to answer this letter about you being upset, angry, and feeling betrayed over some man you’ve been communicating with on Facebook, and you’ve never met in person? You really want me to give you advice about a man with whom you have a fake relationship with? You want me to tell you what to do about some fantasized relationship you have in your head over a man who continues to get locked up for drug crimes, and the most recent arrest was because he was selling drugs to an undercover cop and he had his 1-year old child with him during the drug deal? You really want me to answer this?

Wow! There is a fleet of short yellow buses running through the hood right now, and you need to be on one. I’m rounding up all you ratched birds and bringing you to the Boarding School of Changing Birds To Women.  If it takes me changing one bird at a time, I’m committed, and I’m starting with you!

You obviously are not bright. You obviously have nothing to do with your time, energy, and space in this world. You know how I know this: Well, because you spend most of your time online checking his twitter, Facebook, and Instagram pages. You stalk him and his friends online to see what he’s doing, and what he’s up to. Clearly this is a sign of someone who has nothing to do, and has no concept of life in the real world. Then, you’re sitting at home, (which I’m certain you do all day), and the news blares of him being arrested. Again, obviously you have nothing to do with your time. You are so busy living online that you are not living in the real world where real people interact with each other.

Why are you not at work? Why are you not in school? Shouldn’t you be doing something proactive, like, oh, I don’t know running your so-called business. Oh, yeah, you claim to be a business owner, but how can you be a business owner when you spend so much of your time stalking him online? What business are you running? Honey, it must be fictional and fantasy online relationships.

And, yes, you are dummy! Your a** has developed an online pseudo relationship with some man who has lied to you, stood you up, and basically has no interest in meeting you, or being with you. Who spends that much time online communicating with someone, and it’s you obviously live in the same city since you saw his arrest being blasted on the news, but you can’t meet in person and see one another? Girl, ain’t nobody that damn busy. He ain’t doing –ish but running the damn streets. He can make the time to meet you if he was really interested. But, he isn’t. You are just some random chick he is entertaining online. And, your a** fell for the ole okey doke, and sitting up here talking about you’re in love. How? And, in love with who? You don’t even know him. UGH! Between the weave glue, coloring of your hair, and hood mentality you’ve clearly lost your damn mind.

Look at the obvious facts:

Fact 1.) He flaked when you were supposed to meet. Don’t you think if he was interested in you that he would have made it to the meeting, and if he didn’t then he would have rescheduled, or planned another. It doesn’t take five years to meet someone. If he can run the streets, then I’m certain he can make it a point to come see you and spend time with you.

Fact 2.) He had a girlfriend, and then had a child. And, you said you were upset and angry that he didn’t tell you. Uhm, sweetie, he doesn’t owe you anything. He doesn’t owe you an explanation. You’re just some random chick, out of a many, that he is talking to online. You’re not in a relationship. You’re not his woman. Let go of this fantasy, and online romance. It’s not real!

Fact 3.) He’s gone through several job ideas over the past five years. Honey, he went from wanting to be a rapper, to being a home health aide, to owning a business. Bwahahahaha! The only consistent thing he has been doing is selling drugs and going to jail. Now, any smart person would be able to deduce from this logic that he is not interested in working. He is committed to selling drugs and going to jail.

Fact 4.) He’s selling merchandise on Instagram and Facebook. SMDH! Chile, really? Where is he getting this stolen merchandise? And, what business is he going to open, yet, he has no formal training, no business expertise, or any idea about opening and running a business. Think damnit! He’s a hustler. He’s about making fast money. There is no good coming from any of this.

Fact 5.) He’s in jail! You found out he got locked up from seeing his mug shot on television. And, this damn dummy took his 1-year old child with him on a drug run. Who does that? He obviously is not concerned about the welfare of his child. He is only caught up in himself. He has no regard for human life. He’s an **hole, and a dumb one at that! He needs to be locked up!

So, if you want sit and wait on him and be by his side, and be his ride or die chick, and….LMBAO! Girl, how can you be by someone’s side and you’ve never seen his side? You don’t even know what his front, back, or side looks like. Why am I even continuing this response? Goodbye! – Terrance Dean

Aaron Hernandez Pleads Not Guilty To Odin Lloyd Murder Charges

Via USAToday

Six times on Friday a Superior Court clerk read a charge against Aaron Hernandez and asked for his plea, and six times the former New England Patriots tight end answered strongly:

“Not guilty.”

Hernandez pleaded not guilty to the murder of his friend, 27-year-old semipro football player Odin Lloyd, and five accompanying weapons charges at his arraignment for an indictment handed down by a Fall River grand jury two weeks ago.

Hernandez, who will seek bail at an Oct. 9 hearing, will remain held in a Bristol County correctional facility, where he has been since his arrest on June 26. When Hernandez originally was charged, a Bristol County District Court judge ordered him held without bail, citing the seriousness of the charges and the convincing evidence.

Hernandez’s attorneys will attack the circumstantial evidence against their client at the bail hearing next month, but bail is unlikely with other shooting investigations — with possible links to Hernandez — pending.

Still, Hernandez’s attorneys, who has previously vowed that he would be “exonerated,” asked the public not to jump to conclusions. The information and evidence that has been released on this case has all been one-sided and untested, they said.

“Not one shred of evidence has been presented (in court) yet,” Hernandez attorney Charles Rankin said. He likened an arraignment to “a kickoff” in a football game.

Senor Hernandez is gonna have to tell one helluva story to get himself outta this one.

J.R. Smith Suspended For 5 Games For Violating NBA Substance Abuse Policy

Via ESPN

Knicks guard J.R. Smith has been suspended without pay for five games for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program, the league announced Friday.

Smith is recovering from offseason knee surgery and might not be ready for the beginning of the regular season.

The NBA says Smith’s suspension will begin with the first game of the season for which he is eligible and physically able to play.

The Knicks re-signed Smith in July to a three-year contract worth approximately $18 million with a player option for the third year.

Shortly after he re-signed, Smith underwent patellar tendon surgery and an arthroscopy for a tear in the lateral meniscus of his left knee. He is expected to miss between two to six weeks of the regular season, according to a timetable provided by the team.

S-M-H

The NBA declined to comment specifically about the manner in which Smith violated its Anti-Drug Program. According to a summary of the program provided by the league, a third positive test for marijuana results in a suspension that is “five games longer than the player’s immediately-preceding marijuana suspension.” That is the sole scenario under which a five-game ban is administered.

Friday’s suspension was Smith’s first under the Anti-Drug program, although he’s been suspended several times during his nine-year career for other infractions. He was suspended seven games in 2009 for his role in a crash that killed a passenger in his car in 2007 and resulted in a 90-day prison sentence. Smith was also suspended 10 games for his involvement in the Denver Nuggets-Knicks brawl in 2006. More recently, Smith was banned for Game 4 of the Knicks-Celtics first round playoff series in 2013 after he elbowed Jason Terry in the previous game.

It is unclear at this point if Smith will appeal this most recent suspension.

Hopefully J.R. wasn’t out kickin’ with Lamar Odom.
