Joe Manganiello, True Blood and Magic Mike star, went on The Wendy Williams Show to discuss his new movie, as well as rumors on if he's dating Demi Moore! He even gave an audience member and Wendy a little striptease, showing off the moves he learned for the movie!

Nothing to say except that man is FINE!!!!! *sits in corner and fans myself* Magic Mike, which stars Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Joe, and more, comes out tomorrow! I'm trying to be in the front for this one!

3:52:00 PM

Here's the recap for episode two of Hollywood Exes! I think I'm really going to like this show!

Picking up from the premiere, Sheree and Andrea go out on the town passing by a cupcake ATM (Now I really want to go to L.A!). Sheree mentions that no one has ever really seen Andrea with Robert when they were married. They were together for 13 years, and married for 10, and I definitely didn't know that he was married! I get being private, but LORD A MIGHTY! Andrea herself doesn't even know why the marriage was such a secret. Sheree believes it was for his public image.  I just think he wanted to be able do his own thing on the side without people caring. I think media would have jumped on him more if they knew he was married and saw him out with another girl. In the end, Andrea felt that the support she showed him and it wasn't reciprocated. She learned from the divorce that you have to say what you want out of a relationship and life in general and mean it.

The next scene goes over to Jessica and her daughter Josie. The mother-daughter pair are close and share everything with each other. However, we see that it has definitely affected Josie not having her father around, and she's looking for that male attention in boys. As Josie talks about dating other guys and getting a feel for love and romance, Jessica is reconsidering having Jose move in with them.




Mayte goes out for lunch with Manuela. Manuela was Prince's second wife (I guess ex-wives can be cool with each other). Manuela is now married to Eric Benét, and has a daughter with him. Manuela talks about her baby, it reminds Mayte of her two pregnancies--one baby lived only for a week. She really wants to have kids, and wants a man to have one with. Meanwhile, Andrea looks for a house with Tony and finally finds a spot in Hollywood Hills. 

Later, Nicole gets a visit from her mom Ellen who's from England and they go to the spa. Ellen definitely wasn't the typecast proper Brit, having no problem talking to her daughter about the vaginal rejuvenation Jessica got last episode! They also talk about Nicole's impending wedding, with Ellen jokingly saying she hopes she's still alive when Nicole finally goes through with it.

Later, Jessica tells Josie of Jose's plan to move, but Josie's worried that they'll start fighting again. They both think he's doing it to get back with Jessica, which Josie actually wants to happen. There's no telling what Jessica will actually do.

That night, Nicole goes over to Andrea's house to chill, and sees that she's happier. They talk more about the move and her relationship with Robert, and Andrea's crazy self even wants a pole right smack dab in the middle of the living room!

At dinner with Nicole and Sheree, Jessica brings up the moving in issue again. Nicole and Sheree see it as an excuse for Jose to get in with Jessica again. They want her to really think about why she's doing this. Is it for Josie...or is it for her? Jessica appreciates the honesty, though I know she's still going to do what she wants to do.

The next day, the matchmaker comes back to Mayte's house, and breaks out a bunch of rules. One, she tells her to not have the dog at the door as that might scare a date. She tells her mother that she can't be there either. And it turns out that Mayte kept the wedding china with Prince's symbol, which is mad creepy to me by the way, and I had to agree that all that needed to go. However, when the matchmaker mentioned that she needed to change dish soap because it was purple, I wanted to push her out the door. If a guy notices the color of your soap and actually cares, there's a problem. Mayte is really determined to give the matchmaker a shot, though. I think she's been lonely for so long, living with all of those animals, she needs somebody and she'll do whatever she has to do to get him!

Later, Nicole and Jessica talk about her upcoming wedding, with Nicole mentioning that she wants to do something smaller and simpler than her first marriage ceremony. Meanwhile, Mayte and Andrea connect and hang out at Andrea's house to get to know each other better. They both find that it's hard to find a suitable man, because they get intimidated about their exes or act a fool about it! One guy has even come up to Mayte saying that he met her with Prince when he was 16. The two definitely connect because both met their exes as dancers. They have people trying to mooch off of them for tickets to their exes' concerts and the like. Andrea admits that it's hard to be in that life and gets emotional, especially since Robert hasn't been in the best light.

The next night, Andrea has a homewarming wigging out party, where you have to wear a wig and become the character you are when you put on the wig. Everyone has a good time, but again, Jessica's situation with Jose comes up, with Jessica knowing that it's something that she needs to work out. The next day, Jessica tells Jose that it's cool if he comes, but hopes she's not making a mistake. 

Tune in Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET for Hollywood Exes only on VH1!

2:52:00 PM

The premiere of Hollywood Exes came on last night at 9 p.m. ET on VH1. I figured I would do recaps of this show as well, in addition to Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta. Though from the commercials, I never fully thought that there was going to be a serious problem with this show like with #LHHATL or Basketball Wives, I was still unsure. The whole time I'm watching, I'm thinking, please, please, PLEASE don't let this be ratchet VH1. I think I've reached my limit haha! Plus the network is getting enough heat. And I must say, I along with many other viewers, was pleasantly surprised.

The show follows five women--Mayte Garcia, Sheree Fletcher Jessica Canseco, Andrea Kelly, and Nicole Murphy--who were all married to big time celebs, and are now doing their own thing. Some are newer to divorce and still need time to sort things through, while others have been divorced for almost 20 years, and have been able to get past it. They all connect and relate to each other because of their similar circumstances.

The first episode of the show premiered online for viewers Monday, but I never watch premiere episodes early. I love to tweet with people while the show's going on. If you didn't know, I'm a social media addict (well, not literally before people get ideas), so I have to tweet and post pics on Instagram (onespotlight) and Tumblr. Anyway...on to the recap!

(L-R) Jessica Canseco, Mayte Garcia, Nicole Murphy, Andrea Kelly, Sheree Fletcher

Andrea was married to R&B singer R. Kelly. She started as his choreographer and principal dancer, and they meant and fell in love. They've been divorced now for three years, and there's no relationship with them right now. She was well taken care of as his wife, but she didn't feel like she was getting the accolades and attention she deserved, and walked away. She makes plans to move to L.A. and start a dance studio. As she and her faithful friend and assistant Tony pack, they talk about the big move. Andrea's kids are staying in Chicago for school until she can get everything settled in L.A. Though she's torn about leaving them, she realizes that in Chicago all she will ever be is R. Kelly's ex-wife and needs to chase her own dream. 

Andrea's good friend Nicole lives in L.A. She was married to comedian Eddie Murphy for 12 1/2 years and they have five kids together. They've been divorced now for six years. The former couple still has a good relationship as friends. However, Nicole found it hard to adjust to a different life after their divorce, especially when you have all of the different cars, maids, chefs, etc. But she's made it. She is now engaged to Michael Strahan who is a football player, and has her own fashion and jewelry lines. Nicole promised Andrea that she would introduce her to other celebrity exes in the area, so they can connect, so they're both really excited.

Sheree was married to actor/rapper Will Smith for three years in the early 90s and have now been divorced for 17 years. They met on the set of A Different World and married within 8 months of dating. She now thinks they were too young to have gotten married, but their relationship is good. Sheree is now remarried to Terrell Fletcher, a former football star who is a pastor now.

In the next scene, Nicole goes to Rafinity with Sheree to try on jewels. They've known each other for a long time because Will and Eddie are friends and hung out a lot together. So they've developed a great friendship.

Later, we meet Mayte, who was married to Prince. She met him when she was 16 and joined his band as a dancer. Since their divorce, they don't speak. Mayte lives with her mom Nelly, who stays in the guest house out back. They have five dogs, two cats, two fish, five birds, apparently two extra dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree. What do two women need with all of those animals?! But then again, you have women living with 27 cats and all. I just know I couldn't do it! Mayte now is trying to break into movies as an actress and wants a serious relationship.

Jessica is the ex-wife of Jose Canseco, a professional baseball player. She met Jose as a waitress in Cleveland, and they dated and eventually married, having one daughter Josie. After her divorce, Jessica broke into the cosmetic and medical tattooing business.

Later, Andrea and Tony finally get to L.A., are completely out of their element driving there. With so many lanes, there's still traffic, and she and Tony struggle to get to where they need to be. They joke and laugh about it all though, with Andrea saying she needs a driver to get her around! It's all too much for her!

Meanwhile, Nicole meets up with Jessica at the spa for vaginal rejuvenation which takes Nicole for surprise. Apparently it tightens everything down there, and smooths it out. Wow. Didn't know anything about it! Nicole watches as Jessica's crazy behind does it. I can tell that both Jessica and Andrea are the wild cards of the show, and I'll get the most entertainment from them!

Later, Mayte hires a matchmaker to find a man, and talks about her past relationships with Prince and Tommy Lee, who she broke it off with because he didn't want kids. and what she wants in a man now. The matchmaker stressed that it's important that a guy gets to know HER instead of being intrigued or intimidated just because she's dated big time celebs. However, she tells her that her house has to be date-ready, whatever that means.

After Jessica's rejuvenation, Nicole goes to lunch with Sheree to catch up and to talk about her drama in life. Apparently, she put money into a trust account and the money was depleted. Now she's suing a bunch of people at the bank she was with. She makes a point of wanting to fight regardless of if she'll win or not, just to show people that she won't be walked over!


Later, Nicole invites Andrea to hang out with the other ladies for dinner. Tony hears the conversation and wonders if it's a good idea. Andrea passes it off, saying they are grown women and it won't be any issues (throwing shade to shows like Basketball Wives in the process...I definitely caught that). 

Meanwhile, Jessica and Jose meet for lunch as well. She is working to build a friendship with them, especially for their daughter. Apparently, Jose wrote a book that called out himself and other baseball players who took steriods (WHY??? Snitch.) and it ruined his career. Jose doesn't want to pursue his dream anymore, but would rather work on being a daughter to Josie, who's 15. He drops the news that he wants to move in with Jessica just to be parents for Josie. We find out also that Jose ain't paid child support in seven years, and she's let things slide since his career is off track. She wants to think about it first, but she definitely wants him around for Josie's sake.

At dinner later that night with all the ladies, everyone welcomes Andrea to L.A. They want to be there to support each other. Andrea hopes they like her and is nervous, but gets great reactions from the ladies. They ask how R. Kelly's reaction was to her leaving, which apparently was nonexistent. They give her advice to move past their divorce, and look at the good in their relationship. They talk about their exes and how they dealt with their problems, and really bond.

At the table, Jessica drops the news about Jose which gets negative reactions from everyone. They call it EX for a reason,  because you're supposed to X them out of your life! However, I see Jessica's side as well, because she wants him to be around for his daughter, though I think that he could do that in an apartment of his own in L.A. Jessica invited Jose to join them at a party after dinner with other friends. The whole night, Jose stares at Jessica, even talking about her hot outfit, clearly still in love with her, and all of the ladies notice. Goodness.

Like I said, I was pleasantly surprised by this show! It's very classy and funny. Of course, there's bound to be drama, because...they're women. But I don't think it's anywhere near the level of disrespect that we've seen in other shows. For those who say that it's boring or won't watch or whatever, don't say anything when Basketball Wives continues to be on the air! Remember that, at the end of the day, VH1 is a BUSINESS, and they are going to put out shows that bring in the ratings. So support Hollywood Exes as well! Watch the show every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET, and I'll be bringing the recaps. Episode 2 coming up in a little bit!

Maybach Music Group's Self Made 2 dropped today, and of course, I got my copy! I pre-ordered some weeks ago. In celebration of the compilation album dropping, which features boss Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley, and new MMG addition Omarion, the group dropped the video for single "Power Circle," the intro track. The single features Kendrick Lamar. The whole album also has collaborations with Nas, French Montana, and more. Check out the video below!

5:09:00 PM

Time for a recap of Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta! Picking up from the premiere episode, Mimi talks to Ariane about the whole mess between her, Stevie, and Joseline last episode. She clearly sees that something else is going on besides just the music. Ariane states that she is willing to do whatever to get her to leave him. She thinks Mimi is too comfortable under Stevie and asks Mimi if she thinks she's gonna leave him. Of course, Mimi doesn't answer.

The next scene goes to rapper Rasheeda and her manager-husband Kirk. Together, they have five kids (one of their own, and the rest are Kirk's). Rasheeda is trying the independent move in terms of her music, and are now in the process of picking a new single. They go back and forth about it, because Rasheeda wants one single because she just likes it, whereas Kirk picks the single "Marry Me," because he thinks it will go over well with fans. From the start, we see that they clash as husband and wife/artist and manager. Not sure if business and pleasure is going to work for them.


Later, Karlie goes to talk to Stevie J about working on her record and bumps into Joseline, who accuses her of being messy for saying she was involved with Stevie. Supposedly, Karlie didn't know that Mimi was with Stevie J, but for a girl to be with someone for FIFTEEN YEARS, and you, as a friend, didn't know, is weird to me. But then again, they were disconnected for a while, so maybe she wasn't sure. Joseline reveals that she and Stevie started "working" together four or five months ago, and it's simply all about the music. Karlie refuses to believe it. Joseline's not tripping off of Stevie, but she threw a glass of water at him to get his attention at the club the other night? Girl.

Meanwhile, Stevie pops up at Mimi's cleaning business and says he wants to make things right with her. Mimi tells him to look her in the face and tell her she ain't messing with Joseline, which, of course, he denies. He proposes to give her a percentage of Joseline's project. She wants 10% to take out of his pocket and Joseline's pocket, and be more involved in the business, I know, to keep tabs on Stevie and hurt his wallet for him hurting her. The way I see it, she's a little late in that department. This man has been giving you the runaround for years woman!

The next day, Rasheeda and Kirk ride around in the car, listening to the single and discussing plans for the video. While Rasheeda is excited about the song, she tells Kirk basically that he needs to be on his A game for this video.

Later that night, Erica meets with her mother and her mother Mingon (Lawdddd...) gets right to talking about her relationship with Scrappy. She wants Erica to be happy, but feels like Scrappy can do more, that he's on a standstill. It's revealed that Erica's mother raised her until she was about four or five, and then Erica was sent to New York to live with her aunt and uncle. Her mom had become addicted to cocaine. She gets emotional talking to her mother about how alone and deserted she felt like her. Her mom asks for her forgiveness and they hug it out. It's nice that they're trying to better their relationship, and I do hope they work things out between them.

The next day, Stevie goes to dinner with Mimi, trying to be sweet to get back in her good graces. However, she gives lays down some paperwork to get 20% of Joseline's project (though 20% of nothing =0, but okay), and possibly the rest of his projects. Like I said, Mimi wants to hurt his pocket now and keep tabs on him by being more involved. However, Stevie serenades her with a song and she runs right back in his arms.
At this moment, I wanted to just hit her over the head with a bat to knock some sense into her. I don't know if she's still with Stevie J or not after filming, but if she is, after seeing all of this on TV, she's a true dingbat, I'm sorry.

Rasheeda shows up late her video shoot for "Marry Me" because she had to go get her own clothes. She blames Kirk because he cut the budget for a stylist. They argue back and forth, and it's clear that Rasheeda is being pulled in a bunch of different directions. She has a lot on her plate as a mom, artist, having to be her own stylist, etc. She feels like he's not doing what he should be doing as her manager to make sure she is in the right head space as an artist.

Karlie goes over to Mimi  and talks about her conversation with Joseline. Karlie honestly thinks she and Stevie are sleeping together, but then asks Mimi if she can work with Stevie herself. Now that they have this agreement, Mimi wants Stevie to work with Karlie, I think only so he and Joseline will spend less time together.

Later, Stevie J is working in the studio with Joseline. She reveals that she missed her period. Mimi walks in and lets Joseline know that she's taking a stronger position in the business. She also mentions Karlie working with him, which both Stevie and Joseline are opposed to. However, Mimi quickly shuts Joseline down by letting her know that she is just an artist and the business side of the music is none of her business. Of course, this whole thing upsets Joseline since Stevie's attention won't totally be on her.

Back at their house, Scrappy and Erica go to talk, and Erica tells him that she feels like he gets depressed or stressed and takes it out on people around him. However, some days, after working, Scrappy would just rather be left alone. He wants his own place, but they both decide as a couple to make things work regardless. Sometimes it's better that boyfriends and girlfriends live apart.

Later, Joseline goes over to the gym to give Karlie a piece of her mind about talking about her to Mimi. All three of them are jokes to me for fighting over Stevie J honestly. I don't care if it's personally or professionally. I think he's done. But they argue nonetheless.

After the big blow up, Joseline goes to take a pregnancy test in a public bathroom. Where they do that at? The A obviously. She goes to confront Stevie with the news that she's pregnant. Stevie tells her that they have work to do and she needs to handle this, implying that she needs to get an abortion. He also drills her about whose baby it is, which upsets her. However, Joseline says she hasn't been having sex with anybody but Stevie for six months sooooo...yeah. 1+1=2, Stevie. Next episode, it's going down. And Mimi, if you are STILL with Stevie J, you need to be backhanded. I need to find this out ASAP.

Next Monday, you know where I'll be at 8!

Wow. Can't believe it's been three years since I started The Spotlight! I say this every year, but it's true. Spotlight has grown into something really special to me. When I was trying to break into the entertainment industry, and the doors were glued shut because of my lack of experience, I made my own experience. I thank God for sparking the idea, for now opening doors after I started this.

It was three years ago when I started this blog, and every year, it's getting better. I'm getting better as a writer. The whole JWWWD team is getting better. We're doing exactly what we wanna do, writing exactly what we love, and that's why it works so well. We're learning and growing, thanks to my fabulous editor-in-chief, President Ella, who's a serious hustler. I aspire to be on her level.

I'm quietly making plans. I have an awesome opportunity here  and I'm striving to make Spotlight and JWWWD even more than we are now. I'm determined that we're going higher. It's time to put in more work!

Thanks readers for the support and love!!! 

9:29:00 AM

So I wanted to watch Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta since it was first announced. Mainly because I'm in LOVE with the original Love and Hip Hop and knew that since it was based in the ATL, there would be a lot more ratchetness. Yes, I admit, I watched this show because I KNEW it would be ratchet! Fools' ratchetness equals viewers' entertainment. The producer of the show, Mona Scott-Young, knows EXACTLY what she's doing with these shows! 

I wasn't going to actually recap the show, until a friend of mine joked about waiting for a review from me. So I figured why not? I'm recapping JWoww and Snooki, so why not this show too? Need new shows to talk about since The Game is done for the season. So let's go! The show follows six ladies (Mimi Faust, Erica Dixon, Rasheeda, K Michelle, Karlie Redd, and Joseline) who are in some way all connected to the hip hop industry, whether it be through their men or in their own careers. 


Read my recap below! It's a long one, but it's worth it. I bolded people's names so you can kind of skip around if need be.

(L-R) K Michelle, Karlie Redd, Rasheeda, Mimi Faust, Joseline, Erica Dixon

The show first starts out focusing on Mimi Faust and her producer boyfriend Stevie J. Stevie wants to move Mimi and their daughter out of the city, taking her to a house in the sticks, which is really convenient since he hasn't exactly been the most faithful boyfriend. She has a problem with it because he's still going to stay in the city to work, while she's at home with the baby. He doesn't mention it being a home for the entire family. Deep down, Mimi knows that he's really going to be out there doing his dirt, so she tells him she will think about it and get back to him in a couple of days.

Then we go to Erica Dixon and her man, rapper Lil Scrappy. Scrappy had a fling with fellow ATL rapper Diamond. When Diamond left Scrappy to go to Soulja Boy, Scrappy came back to his baby moms. While discussing their relationship, Erica brings up all of these facts and lets him know that this is his second chance to make a home with her and their six-year-old daughter Emani. Am I surprised to see Scrappy on this show? Yes and no. Yes, because he hasn't released an actual album since 2006. And no, because he hasn't released an actual album since 2006. Reality TV is being used as a platform nowadays to publicize other ventures. And Scrappy needs some media attention since he's dropping another album next week. Definitely not a coincidence.

The show shoots over to singer K. Michelle is in the studio working on new music and recovering from heartbreak after her breakup with MempHitz who is now married to Toya Carter (K. Michelle never actually mentions his name, but we know that's who it is).

Later, Mimi talks with her friend Ariane about Stevie buying her the house. Ariane is honest with her, telling Mimi that she is always accepting his behavior and is afraid to leave and to start a new life. Mimi is definitely the typical woman who wants to believe that her man will change, when, of course, he won't. The cameras flash over to the studio where Stevie is working on a track and so-called dancer/actress/rapper but actual stripper Joseline walks in. With her bad fashion and weave, wannabe Rihanna persona, and not to mention man-like features, she's a hot mess. In fact, many on my Twitter timeline last night suspects she's a tranny  (I plead the fifth!). However, Stevie serves as her manager and producer, and is determined to make her an international hit. Yeah, I don't like her. We see instantly that he's messing with this girl. She even calls him Daddy. It's a pure mess.

In the next scene, Scrappy goes to his mom's house, Momma Dee. She's very protective of him, so I guess this is going to be like Momma Jones with Jim and Chrissy like the first Love and Hip Hop. She used to pimp and sell dope, and is very hardcore. She's definitely crazy and He talks about his conversation with Erica, and claims that she can be irritating. However, Momma Dee understands why she wants that family unit, because she didn't have it herself.

Back to K. Michelle, she's been reconnecting with friends, and meets with rapper Rasheeda. She's been trying to get out of her contract with Jive Records, and reveals her relationship with Memphitz who was A&R. He beat her apparently and bought a lot from her budget, with nothing to really show for it in terms of actual music She never said his name, which I'm sure was a clause in her contract for the show SOMEWHERE. Now she wants a fresh start with her life and career.

Momma Dee calls Erica to talk about her and Scrappy's relationship. He's used to that affection, and suggests that she shows him more love. And Momma Dee brings it up that it's because Erica didn't have a good relationship with her own mom. Of course, Erica takes a little offense, but Momma Dee just wants her to fix things with Scrappy. I think that they could really make things work, but they both have to be willing to compromise with each other on certain things.

Mimi and Stevie J went out for drinks to discuss the home situation. She wants them all to be together, and he says he'll come home when he finishes working. She suggests him setting up a studio in the house, which he rejects because "the vibe is different" outside of the house. And because he has this ability to "make her smile and laugh," she passes it off. I'm gonna get to her later.

Later, Joseline and Stevie J. meets with upcoming singer Karlie Redd and  her boyfriend Antonio Reid to get a hit for Karlie. Though she claims that Stevie is only her manager, Joseline is all over him. If she calls him Daddy one more time! It's annoying to me to see Stevie just blatantly disrespect Mimi like that, especially since she was with him for all this time (and his career definitely fell off track some years ago!).

At the end of the episode, the ladies head to a lounge for K. Michelle's birthday party, and Karlie and Mimi bond (they apparently hung out with each other in L.A.). Karlie brings up that Joseline is ride or die for Stevie J., which Mimi and Ariane shut down immediately! Karlie then brings up the meeting that happened yesterday. Stevie conveniently shows up (with Joseline in tow) passing compliments of how beautiful Mimi looks, but she is already upset. Mimi sits down with both Joseline and Stevie to clear up the situation. Joseline tries to pass it off like Mimi's crazy for thinking that she's with him.  She's not having sex with him, but she calls him Daddy? Girl bye! Karlie says she saw him kissing Joseline, which pisses off Mimi. When Stevie follows Mimi out as she leaves, Joseline throws a drink at him angrily to get his attention. Stevie walks back to Joseline

After a heated argument with Mimi, Stevie gets in the car with Joseline and leaves, showing exactly where his loyalty lies. I feel like I should write Mimi an entire open letter in a separate post, but I'm going to just say it all here and try to keep it short. Mimi, you have been with this man for FIFTEEN years AND you have a child with him. Why is there no ring on your finger? And why do you put up with his foolishness?!!! You KNOWWWWW beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is messing around on you with Joseline and God knows who else, and you still stay with him?! I know for myself that signs of foolishness and lies are always right in front of your face, and women have that instinct inside them when something's wrong. You never want to accuse your man of things that you are unsure about, but honey this is clear as day. He's trying to move you out of the city. He's hanging with Joseline ALL THE TIME. He even got in the car with her, and when you found him, he said he was looking for you?! Chile....all I'm going to say if you sat down and watched that episode, and you're STILL with him, you need to be backhanded for stupidity.

And let me quickly address the homewrecker situation, because many talked about that on Twitter last night about going after Joseline and whatnot. If I ever I get into a situation like that, I'm going after Stevie first, and then the heifer sometime later. But he's getting it the worst from me. I feel like women always tend to go to the other woman first, and I never understood that. Point blank period, some women just don't care if men are attached or not. They see something they want and they go after it. Joseline sure enough don't. She even tweeted this last night (along with a whole bunch of other craziness):

It's not for the other woman to be committed to you. You would like to think that no other woman would go after your man, and hopefully they don't, if they know he's in a relationship or married. However, they really owe no amount of loyalty to you. It's the man that does. So if I ever get into a situation like that, I'm going after HIM! Then I'll probably slap the girl later haha! But he's getting it the hardest because he is the one I was committed to, and expected the same commitment in return.

At the end, the ratchet and ridiculousness is why I'm going to be glued to the TV every time the show comes on. Don't judge me haha! So make sure you check out my recaps the Tuesday after every episode! Hopefully they won't be this long every time, but this was the premiere and a lot went on, so I had to comment! I know you have a lot to say too, so sound off below! Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta comes on VH1 on Monday nights at 8 p.m.

6:10:00 AM

Kelly Rowland has teamed with Barcadi and recorded a cover of Kate Yanai's "Summer Dreaming" to celebrate the company's 150th anniversary.  Directed by of Annick Wolfer, the video is fun and colorful, and PERFECT for the beginning of summer!


Kelly said of the song, 
"The song and its history enthralled me right away. My aim was to record a joyful, colourful, sexy song and give it a bit of soul quality. The collaboration with BACARDÍ was so much fun. We had an awesome time recording the song. The story is all about the celebration. It’s almost like you’re seeing my dream come to life before your eyes and I wake up and I’m like, ‘I’m really dreaming!’”


Check out "Summer Dreaming" below!

Sad news to start the morning. Just found out that Yvette Wilson, who played Andell Wilkerson on Moesha and The Parkers, passed away from cervical cancer last night. She was only 48 years old. The actress was suffering at Stage 4 with the cancer.

Yvette's friend and former co-star, Shar Jackson (she played Moesha's best friend Niecy), had been tweeting, asking her followers to pray for Yvette for the past few days now. She revealed the news that Yvette had passed away last night on her Twitter.

I didn't even know that she was sick! Terrible news! I used to watch Moesha and The Parkers all the time growing up and I loved her character. Thoughts and prayers go to Shar, and Yvette's family and friends during this difficult time.

R. Kelly is now a part of the league of celebrities that has been or is in debt to the IRS. Apparently the singer owes more than $4.8 million in taxes dating back to 2005.

A rep for the singer said, "R. Kelly is in the process of working everything out with the government and is confident that all his obligations will be satisfied."

The breakdown of the alleged non-payments includes: $1,472,366.77 (2005), $710,520.51 (2006), $376,180.11 (2007), $1,122,694.90 (2008), $173,815.18 (2009) and $992,495.24 (2010). The total bill comes to $4,848,072.71.

For some reason, I'm not all that surprised. Hopefully Kells takes care of that and quick. He's coming out with his new album, Write Me Back, later in the month. So his management needs to get him some appearances and performances. Maybe even a tour. Because Uncle Sam does NOT play about his money!

Chris Brown apparently got a pretty nasty cut on his chin from a bottle thrown allegedly after his entourage clashed with Drake’s friends in a club.

The NYPD confirmed to TMZ that the crews got into a fight at WIP Nightclub in NYC with 5 people being injured, one of them being Chris. The police got to the scene after getting a call between 4 and 5 a.m., but neither Chris and Drake were there when the cops showed up. No arrests were made.

Though NYPD didn’t slap on any cuffs, you know Breezy. He HAD to take to social media to talk about it. That’s what it’s for, right?After the fight, Chris shared a pic of his injury onTwitter saying, “How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol… Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!.”

The photo and the message, of course were since removed from Chris’ page. Chris is known to tweet his mishaps and adventures, and then takes it down moments later (thanks to his publicity team, I'm sure). Rumor has it that the fight was all over Rihanna, who Drake has been rumored to have hooked up with in the past. For someone who they both have supposedly gotten over (Chris has a new girlfriend now and Drake has his other side chicks), her name sure does come up a lot with the two of them! Simmer down boys.

Amanda Bynes has been formally charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs following an April 6 run-in with a cop car. It's been reported that Bynes is also accused of refusing a police officer's request to complete a chemical test to determine what substances were in her system.

After being charged, she tweeted President Barack Obama to help her out...and to fire the cop who charged her! "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me," she wrote to his Twitter account. "I also don't hit and run. The end."

In this incident, Amanda was involved in an alleged hit-and-run in Hollywood. She sideswiped another vehicle while she was trying to pass on the right in her Range Rover SUV. She continued driving after the hit, but apparently cooperated with police when they pulled her over, saying that she didn't realize she hit the other car.

Amanda.....girl. One, what is it with all of this trouble you're landing yourself into lately? And two, going to President Obama for help? And through Twitter no less? The President of the United States of America has way more important things to do than to fulfill your revenge plot on some cop. Things like the war, unemployment, his re-election campaign, things of that nature. Get back into acting. PLEASE. You have too much free time lately to me. Idle bodies equal trouble!

After three years of dating, singer Miley Cyrus and  actor Liam Hemsworth are engaged to be married! Their reps confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

"I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Miley said.

Liam and Miley met when they co-starred as love interests in The Last Song back in 2009 and were dating ever since. Liam proposed on May 31 with a 3.5-carat diamond ring from jeweler Neil Lane!

Wow! I think they're a very cute couple, and I hope that their marriage holds up! I want them to have a nice little engagement though. They're both pretty young, and are busy with their own ventures. Right now, Miley is working on a new album, and Liam is filming a few movies before he stars filming the second Hunger Games movie. Think they should just take it slow and make sure marriage is right for them right now. Congrats to them though!

Picking up from last episode, the Season Finale of The Game starts out with everyone celebrating the championship game, which is about to start soon. Malik, though arrested last episode, makes it at the very last minute to the championship. Apparently the situation was resolved and the cops actually end up driving Malik and Jenna to the stadium. Malik, still upset at Jenna, leaves her behind with the cop car with 7 minutes left til kickoff.

At the airport, Rick Fox tries to make Melanie see Derwin's point of being a professional athlete and finally having a championship game and wanting to have his girlfriend to look up to in the stands. Rick also talk about his breakup with Tasha, and reminds her that the decisions that we make in life can have a negative impact on those we leave behind.

Next we see Chardonnay on the bus. When she requests her stop, the bus driver refuses to stop. She of course, goes off and has a breakdown since Jason just broke up with her and she lost her job last episode.


Later we find that the Sabers won the national championship! The team celebrates and Derwin turns to find that Melanie came to the game to congratulate him!

Meanwhile, on the bus still, Chardonnay is finally let off by the bus driver, with Jason standing in front of a building--a building that he bought and decorated for Spadonnay, her dream venture. That's the nicest, most expensive thing Jason has done in five seasons of the show (yall know he's cheap haha)! He asks for 50% ownership of the spa, but also asks to stay married to her, actually dropping to his knees for a proposal. Wild Saber fans throw a glass through her window and interrupt the moment, but it's good to see them back together. I'm just confused as to why he broke up with her in the first place now, though. It seemed like he was trying to get back to Kelly with that phone call last week, but I guess he was trying to throw her off track with the proposal? I'm still confused with that writing. But I hope that Jason and Chardonnay have a real wedding. I mean, we didn't even see the Tijuana one haha!

Back at her room, Tasha is still not feeling well, but wants to be there for Malik. Pookie tells her that she needs to stay home and get better. Tasha informs him that he is everything that she ever prayed for. She's always wanted a man to take care of her when she was sick, and really be there for her. I'm glad to see her finally happy.

At the Aqua Bar, Derwin and Malik continues their celebration with the with Jason, Chardonnay, Melanie, and some other player and his wife. Jenna gets CRAZY drunk and Malik drags her out of the club. Derwin tells everyone not to let that bring the moment down. Chardonnay then surprises everyone with the news that she and Jason are staying married. Melanie tells Derwin that she has to get going to catch her flight to D.C., which upsets Derwin who thought she was staying. She apologizes if she gave him the wrong impression, but then goes off on him, telling him that she has always supported him and that she needs him to cheer for her now. Derwin refuses to accept the news, walking off.

Later, Malik drives Jenna back to rehab. He tells her that he loves her enough to know that he can't save her. She has to save herself. He wants her to stay in rehab long enough for it to work for her. It's obvious that his lifestyle triggers her alcoholism, and he breaks up with her. He says that he loves her still, but she literally spits in his face.

In the final moments of the episode, Chardonnay and Jason celebrate staying married, burning the annulment. Melanie receives a call from Derwin at the airport, with him telling her that her leaving shows him that she needs this and surprises her there. He apologizes that it took him so long to get that this is her dream. He makes the decision to go with her and be on the sidelines rooting for his wife! Awwww! At Tasha's, she and Pookie sleep peacefully as a call comes in from Rick Fox. Malik unfortunately goes back to his old ways, ordering cars and making plans to have sex with random girls. Shame.

Now, this is the final season that Tia Mowry will be apart of, and there's no word (or at least I haven't heard anything) on whether or not Pooch Hall will be staying. So I'm not sure what the plans are for season 6 of The Game, though I'm wondering with all of these cast changes if it would be a good idea to wrap up the show after this next season. It's up to BET, but there's enough shows that are being dragged along these days. Maybe it's time to hang up the hat. It was a pretty good season though!

It's only been a week since Beyoncé performed at Atlantic City's new Revel Resorts and Casino, and already she has plans to put out the DVD. She and her team released the trailer for the DVD today, which I'm really excited about! I didn't get a chance to go to the concert, but I've seen a lot of the performances on YouTube (basically the whole concert!) LOL but I know that Bey and her editing team will put together an amazing DVD, so I'll be buying! No word on when it will actually be released. I'm hoping sometime before the end of summer. Check out the trailer below!
