Beyonce Taps Azealia Banks for New Album


Azealia Banks to collaborate with BeyonceOn the heels of revealing a new Destiny’s Child album and single, Beyonce is also prepping for a new solo album to be released later in 2013.
In an interview this week, rapper Azealia Banks revealed she has worked with Queen B  for a possible track on the album. “I actually did something for her record in Miami a couple weeks ago,” she revealed. “I really didn’t want to say it because I didn’t want to jinx it.”
Banks is unsure if the song will ultimately make the record, but was positively glowing about the experience. “Oh my God. Even the fact that I was considered to rap on a BeyoncĂ© track was just… I’m about to cry. It was amazing.”
Beyonce will have many collaborators on her new record, according to her interview with GQ, where she announced  Pharrell, Timbaland, and The-Dream would appear on the album. “We all started in the ’90s, when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back: the feeling that music gave us,” she said to GQ.  While Banks wasn’t mentioned in the GQ article, she will definitely gain positive visibility from any work with Queen B, which she arguably needs to mend her reputation after an ongoing Twitter feud with Perez Hilton.
The feud originally started as  beef between Banks and rival rapper Angel Haze. Banks made a comment about rappers not Azealia Banks Beyoncefrom New York claiming the city, “Seriously, if you were not born and raised in NY…. DON’T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER,” wrote Banks.
Haze took the comment as a masked direct insult, and Hilton came down on her side. Banks then called Hilton a “messy faggot.”
Now Banks is facing an attack from GLAAD for using the insult publicly on twitter. The gay rights advocacy group notes the term is “almost universally used by bullies, often used as part of a larger verbal or physical assault.”
No word on whether this latest controversy will affect her appearance on the Beyonce record.

Britney Spears Confirms Jason Trawick, X-Factor Splits


Britney Spears Trawick split Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have called off their engagement and are going their separate ways. Spears is always going separated ways from the X-Factor as she may be preparing to pursue a headlining gig in Vegas.
Britney and fiancé Jason Trawick have been together for three years, but sources indicate that the Spears Trawick split was a long time coming.
Both Spears and Trawick agreed it was time to split up, but they wanted to wait the make the official announcement after Jason’s conservatorship was disbanded.
“Jason and I have decided to call off out engagement,” the former X-Factor judge announced. “I’ll always adore him and we will remain great friends.”
According to Spears publicists, it was a tough decision made by “two mature adults.”
Even Trawick only had kind things to say in the midst of calling it all off.
Britney Spears Jason Trawick call engagement off “I love and cherish her and her boys, and we will be close forever,” Trawick said in a statement reported by People.
Of course, cherishing somebody doesn’t keep you from doing rude things when you are upset.
Apparently there was never trouble in paradise simply because there wasn’t much of a paradise at all between the two.
According to one source close to the situation, “The romance is gone.”
That same source went on to reveal that Jason “puts her on speakerphone so friends can hear her nagging.”
Yet another source aware of the troubled relationship said the split isn’t shocking, but a marriage would have been.
“I’d be shocked if they got married,” the source said.
Now that the conservatorship has finally ended, however, the couple can simply go their separate ways instead of driving each other crazy.
Before finally resigning, Jason was a part of the court ordered conservatorship that oversees many of Britney’s finances although he did not have any authority over her money.
At this point, it doesn’t seem like Spears will need any help handling money despite her confirmed split with the X-Factor.
Britney Spears Jason Trawick split The pop star admitted that although she had a great time on the show, she was ready to get back to doing what she loved after watching her mentees taking the stage.
“I had an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio,” the 31-year-old songstress explained.
Her explanation for walking away was similar to that of Christina Aguilera who decided to take a break from The Voice to work on her music career as well.
“Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much,” Spears exclaimed. “I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.”
There may be one striking different between Christina’s explanation and Britney’s however – Aguilera was actually being welcomed back with open arms.
Some sources are still suggesting that Britney simply quit before she got fired. According to these sources, Spears wasn’t doing enough to boost ratings and producers from the show were ready to party ways. After giving her a notice in advance, rumor has it she decided to simply quit instead.
If that’s the case we can only imagine that the decision wasn’t as tough as Brit would like to make it seem.
Britney Spears splits with X Factor, Jason Trawick heads to Vegas Either way, not having the fat check from the X-Factor isn’t really going to hurt the pop diva’s pockets because her headlining gig in Vegas has the potential to more than double what she made on the singing talent show.
While already having $27.5 million in assets, which includes a whopping $15 million in cold hard cash, a Vegas gig may offer the “Till the World Ends” crooner $100 million a year.
According to TMZ, Trawick’s ex is in “serious talks” to make a move to Vegas to headline a “Celine” type of show.
Spears may also be seeking residency in Sin City and may be doing “big, nightly shows” for one of the major hotels.
The negotiations are supposedly taking place between Brit’s camp and one of the CAESARS group properties who has been “wooing her for a while.”
Celine Dion grabbed almost $100 million a year for her gig and insiders are predicting that the “Toxic” singer will top that.

Vanessa Bryant Dismisses Divorce, Reconciles with Kobe


Kobe Bryant and Vanessa announce there will be no divorce Kobe Bryant and Vanessa seemed to have worked out their differences as they took the web to announce there will be no divorce.
It was back in December of 2011 that Vanessa filed for divorce from her NBA husband, but since then the couple has been spotted out and about hand in hand.
A few months after Kobe’s wife filed for divorced, he handed over his interest in their 3 Newport Beach mansions which means if they do decide to split Bryant will need a place to stay.
Either way, the deeding over the luxurious home was all in the name of love (we hope) as the on-again, off-again couple is claiming they are going to stay on this time.
If we’re this confused about their relationship we can’t imagine how their adorable little girls feel about all this.
For now, we’re sure they’re excited to see that mommy and daddy have worked things out and have started acting like a married couple again.
After the 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, Kobe was spotted leaving with his lovely lady close by his Kobe Bryant Facebook message announces no divorce side. With their arms hooked together cameras were snapping away and asking questions about their relationship.
While the cameramen got very few answers as to what was going on between the pair, they did end up spending New Year’s Eve together and ultimately repairing whatever had been broken in their love lives.
“We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled,” Vanessa revealed via Instagram. “Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together.
After Vanessa made the announcement, Bryant also chimed in making his own no divorce announcement on Facebook.
“I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family,” the Lakers star player wrote. “When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers! Much luv, Mumba out.”
The no divorce decree received thousands of likes and fans are hoping that the good news will help put Kobe back in the game and take the Lakers to victory amidst a less than impressive season.
We know what you’re probably thinking though. Kobe is just sticking by his woman because of the old “cheaper to keep her” thing right?
Vanessa and Kobe's daughters at the Lakers game Not this time. It seems like Bryant has lost a lot more financial benefits from trying to stay with Vanessa to make things work.
TMZ did the digging and discovered Vanessa has always owned two of the Newport mansions and recently sold the third one for $3.2 million. They also have discovered reasons to believe that a post-nup has given ‘Nessa way more financial leverage than she would have had if they couple had simply divorced.
Looks like Kobe is deep in love and even money isn’t enough to get him out of it, which is a good thing especially when kids are involved.
We’re hoping that the love will last and that their beautiful daughters – 9-year-old Natalie and 6-year-old Gianna – can enjoy seeing their mom and pop stick together.

Megan Fox Quits Twitter: Three Other Celebrities Who Should Too


Megan Fox deletes Twitter account Megan Fox  decided to quit Twitter just one week after trying the social media network. Unfortunately Chris Brown, Azealia Banks, Donald Trump, and more haven’t given up on Twitter just yet – but we really wish they would.
Megan Fox teased her fans when she finally bought into peer pressure and created a Twitter account only to delete it a few days later.
“Some of you may or may not have noticed by now that my Twitter account has been shut down,” she wrote on Facebook on Thursday. “I thought that 2013 might be the year that I finally blossomed into a social networking butterfly, but as it turns out, I still hate it.”
The gorgeous “This is 40” actress has always maintained a Facebook page, but she claims that about as much as she wants to have on her plate.
“Love you guys but will just never be that girl,” Fox she wrote. “Facebook is as much as I can handle. I’m sorry.”
The 26-year-old had just created the account on Jan. 3 and managed to rack up over 250,000 followers in just a few days – but the large number of followers still wasn’t enough to get her addicted to tweeting.
After less than a week she wasn’t afraid to show her disappointment with the social media site either.
“5 days on Twitter and I have yet to discern it’s purpose,” she tweeted. “#WhatIsThePoint ??”
Chris Brown twitter wars Well after failing to find the point, she deleted her account and said goodbye to the world of Twitter.
Unfortunately, there a few celebs are haven’t said their farewell to Twitter, but we’re still crossing out fingers that they will.
Chris Brown has been flaunting his ego, playerish ways, and foul language all over the social media site and we’re kind of tire of it.
To make matters worse, the R&B bad boy keeps playing with out emotions and making us think that he is through with Twitter. After a series of Twitter feuds (the latest being between Brown and comedian Jenny Johnson), Brown deleted his Twitter. Before we could all rave in excitement, his account had been reactivated and the vulgar big headed tweets began again.
Speaking of Chris, we’re getting a bit bored with Rihanna’s Twitter antics as well.
Rihanna shares naked photos on Twitter The practically nude photos, pics of her in bed with Chris, and low blows at Chris’s other girlfriend Karrueche Tran were a journalists dream at one point – until the rants became routine.
The pics of her in bed with her former flame were no longer surprising, her beef with Kae was played out, and we get it RiRi… you look good naked. After a while, the rebellious ways just weren’t quite as headline worthy and her next tweet was always predictable.
Even Chris and Rihanna didn’t top our list of celebs who need to quit Twitter, however, because the only thing worse than played out tweets are “ratchet” ones… that’s right Azealia Banks we’re talking about you.
Banks is a pretty 21-year-old rapper whose personality on Twitter makes her ugly and unattractive. It seems like we can’t make it through a few days without having Banks popping off on somebody or trying to intimidate us with her New York street cred.
From hurling homophobic slurs at Perez Hilton to a nasty beef with Angel Haze, Banks became a Twitter nuisance.  Twitter has a tendency to get ratchet enough without Azealia helping out so feel free to quit Twitter whenever you’re ready.
Azealia Banks sparks twitter war with Angel Haze Perez HiltonDon’t think that it’s just the young folks making Twitter a terrible place, however.
Our number one “You Need To Step Away From Twitter” celeb is none other than Donald Trump.
According to Wendy Williams, Mr. Trump managed to spark 11 Twitter wars in 2012 alone – not counting the nonsense he babbled concerning President Obama.
Trump used his Twitter to assure Americans that we are not a Democracy anymore simply because we re-elected President Obama for a second term in office.
“This election is a total sham and a travesty,” Donald tweeted back in November. “We are not a democracy.”
Donald Trump's many Twitter feuds cher, star jones, and President Obama He didn’t stop there of course as he targeted many others via Twitter.
“New York Post says ‘@repweiner trying to make a comeback’ – he’s a sexual pervert & they can never be healed,” he tweeted.
Even George Will fell victim to Trump’s wrath as he wrote, “George Will may be the dumbest (and most overrated) political commentator of all time. If the Republicans listen to him, they will lose.”
Of course, none of these tweets can amount to the major battle between Trump and Rosie O’Donnell where the wealthy businessman hurled insult after insult at Rosie who returned the favor with her own low blows.
Other celebs who have been verbally attacked by the Trump include Cher, Mark Cuban, Star Jones, Brian Williams, and many many more.
Point is Trump is a trouble maker who feels like he can pick on whoever he wants simply because his pockets are fat and he uses Twitter to do it.

Yandy Smith’s Boyfriend Mandeecees on Trial for Sexual Assault


Yandi Smith's baby daddy is an alleged sex offender Yandy Smith’s baby daddy Mandeecees is preparing to stand trial for having sex with his baby mamma’s 15-year-old daughter, but Yandy claims she has everything under control.
The third season of Love and Hip Hop New York has just kicked off and while we were all excited to see Yandy become a mom, the news has been ruined now that the baby’s father has been accusing of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.
Later this month Yandy’s boyfriend will have his day in court after he allegedly engaged in “inappropriate sexual acts” with a minor two years ago.
As if messing around with a minor wasn’t bad enough, the young girl in question is reoportedly the daughter of Mandeecees’ first child’s mother… a.k.a. his son’s sister.
Technically, this does mean that the girl isn’t actually his blood daughter but rather he was simply a father figure to her at one point (either way, it’s downright wrong and disgusting).
Wednesday the courts began putting together a jury for the trial in Hackensack.
The 34-year-old New York native allegedly touched the young girl inappropriately at his home in Lodi before he “asked for asked for and received ‘mouth’ sex from the girl and ‘touched’ her on various occasions between September 2009 and April 2010” according to North Jersey News.
Yandi Smith's boyfriend had sex with 15 year old daughter? The Love & Hip Hop star’s baby daddy is facing up to 20 years in jail after being slammed with sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and child endangerment charges.
Despite being a mother herself, Yandy is standing by her man through all the drama and isn’t afraid to show it.
Fans have been tweeting Smith encouraging words and the reality star has been quick to RT every single last message she received.
“I’m here for you sis,” one of the RT’s read. “I love you very much and praying God blesses you & keeps you in perfect peace! GOD BLESS/LOVE YOU.”
Another RT read, “Just peeped @yandysmith mentions. I have no worries… I know she has this under control! Keep your head up & media out your business.”
Just for the record, Twitter is called a social MEDIA site for a reason so if she really wanted to keep her business out the hands of the media, she wouldn’t be putting it all over Twitter (or on national television for that matter).
Either way, what’s done is done and we know all about it Yandy.
Yandy shows new side on new season of Love and Hip Hop We also know that the young business woman wants to be seen in a different light on the show this year.
During previous seasons of LHH Smith was known as determined business woman on a mission to grab money and success and was previously Jim Jones’ manager.
With the start of a new season though, comes a new Yandy – Yandy as a soft, sensitive mother.
The starlet wants her fans to see her loving relationship with her beautiful son Omere instead of the cold paper chaser she was before.
“Last season I was completely closed and I didn’t want any of my personal life (no mom, no dad, no man, nothing) on the show,” Mandeecees’ girlfriend said. “I wanted season 2 to be focused on my business.”
For the new season, however, it’s all about family.
Yandi Smith shares pics of baby on Instagram “This season you see more of my family and what we go through being in the business and all that stuff,” she added.
Despite Mandeecees emerging as a sex offender, the new mommy also insists that the reality star is a good father and a good man.
“Baby Omere has just gotten us so much closer because I see how much he loves him and how much he wants to protect him, and that just makes me love him more,” Omere’s mommy said.
Even Mandeecees was surprised to see the change in Mrs. Smith claiming seeing her going from a hard cord business savvy woman to a warm spirited mother was a “big change, but it’s cool.”
What’s not cool, however, is putting your hands all over an underaged minor… especially one who was practically family. The courts are scheduled to have a full jury put together soon and then the alleged sex offender will have his day in court.

Chris Rainey Arrest Highlights Need for NFL Action Over Domestic ViolenceChris Rainey Arrest Highlights Need for NFL Action Over Domestic Violence


Chris Rainey domestic violenceChris Rainey, NFL rookie with the Pittsburgh Steelers, found out the hard way that the league is attempting to crack down on players who commit domestic violence. Rainey was released from the team shortly after a dispute with his girlfriend erupted in violence.
The altercation between Rainey and his girlfriend began over the former NFL player’s cellphone. According to police in Gainesville, FL, Chris’s girlfriend was in possession of his cellphone; which prompted him to pull her out of someone else’s car in an effort to retrieve it. However, after removing his lover from the car, Rainey did not simply attempt to wrestle his phone from her. Instead, witnesses reported that the 5’9″, 180 pound former NFL rookie hit his girlfriend across the face with an open hand. With his phone still in her purse, she tried to flee the scene on foot but the running back easily chased her down. After catching her, he grabbed her bag and the two ended up on the ground in a struggle.
Rainey told police a different story, however. He told authorities that he was only trying to retrieve his cellphone while she was in the car and he did not hit his girlfriend in the face. He admitted chasing her down and that they ended up on the ground, but his version of events did not mirror what eyewitnesses told police. However, his past incidents of domestic violence were enough to convince the Gainesville police that his version of the truth might not be accurate. He was taken into police custody and booked that night.
Jovan Belcher shoots girlfriend before committing suicide in front of coachIn addition to the most recent charges, the former Steeler has had other off-field personal incidents that have threatened his career; which lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to release him from his contract. Back in Sept. 14, 2010 Chris was arrested and charged with aggravated stalking, a third-degree felony, for allegedly sending a former girlfriend an ominous text message that read, in part, “Time to die b-tch.”
With the recent tragedy of Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher killing his girlfriend, then himself, the NFL seems to be taking no chances with players who have a history of domestic violence. But, is there a way the NFL can help players before they commit acts of violence against their respective wives or girlfriends?
To begin, NFL officials can stop fostering a culture of idol worship among the fans of the league. Jovan Belcher murdered the mother of his infant daughter and the Kansas City Chiefs staff thought it appropriate to hang the murderers jersey in his locker in memorial to him. They did have a moment of silence for domestic violence victims, so that should offset the memorial to a man to took his girlfriend’s life…right?
In an article about the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide featured on ESPN-W website, the author pointed out the staggering statistics on domestic violence against women. “According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, nearly one-third of female homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner, and in most cases, authorities discover that the abuse began long before a fatal crime occurred.”
Second, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can take as hard of a stance against criminal behavior off-the-field as he does behaviors Will Smith of New Orleans Saintsthat violate league policy on-the field. An article about domestic violence and the NFL featured on Slate.com highlighted the discrepancy in the commissioner’s commitment on-field versus off-field violations.  Last year Goodell, “suspended Saints defensive end Will Smith for his role in the team’s “bounty program.” But he faced no league sanction when, in 2010, he was charged with domestic battery after allegedly grabbing his wife by the hair during an argument outside a nightclub. Though he was indicted by a grand jury in 2011, the charges against Smith were dismissed this March when he performed community service, went to domestic violence counseling sessions, and wrote an apology letter to the police.”
Clearly, the NFL needs to get its priorities straight regarding how they respond to players who abuse women in any manner.
Having a system in place to counsel players experiencing marital or relationship issues before they escalate into violence would be a great addition to all the financial benefits players receive. It’s not enough to hold a moment of silence for a woman who’s life was cut short by her boyfriend. And, it definitely sends a terrible message to players, fans and particularly women to hang the jersey in memorial of the man who did it.
If the powers that be in the NFL want their organization to be seen as one that has zero tolerance for domestic violence, they need to focus more on helping players prevent violence; and stop simply reacting to it or worse – turning a blind eye.

Kenya Moore’s Comical New Single ‘Gone With The Wind Fabulous’


Kenya Moore Gone with the Wind fabulousKenya Moore is ‘gone with the wind fabulous’…and she’s ready to put that on wax. The delusional diva has gone the way of former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kim Zolciak and recorded her own catchphrase song. It’s titled none other than ‘Gone With the Wind Fabulous’. Let the Beyonce comparisons continue!
This stuff pretty much writes itself.
Moore’s song was debuted by Bravo’s own Andy Cohen on ‘Watch What Happens Live’ where T-Boz and Tatyana Ali were Cohen’s guests. While the former TLC front-woman gave a half-hearted seal of approval saying, “It’s decent;” Ali could be seen sitting next to her laughing her way through the song as Kenya commanded “now twirl, twirl, twirl…” Cohen said the song reminded him of a song he could see, “an army of drag queens dancing to.”
Hilarious!
Unlike Zolciak’s musical journey; which was mentored by super producer and fellow ‘Housewives’ cast-mate Kandi Burruss, Moore seems to have constructed this number on her own. Judging from the quality of the song, from the production to the lyrics, Kenya should have called upon the former Xscape member to help her make a more than decent song. Bless T-Boz’s heart, but the song is not decent in the least. In fact, Mrs. Biermann’s ‘Tardy for the Party’ was better.
Kenya Moore new songSeriously.
For what it’s worth though, the song is at least entertaining and fits into the former Miss USA’s delusions of grandeur in spectacular fashion. Ever since Moore made her debut on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’, fans have wondered whether or not she is serious in many of her endeavors, including her relationship with on-screen boyfriend Walter Jackson. For his part, Jackson blew the lid off their fake relationship in a radio interview with Atlanta radio station V103. Kenya has been in damage control mode ever since.
Now with her ‘Gone With The Wind Fabulous’ single ready to hit the music scene, the erratic beauty is positioning herself top her fake relationship bit and compete with musical greats like Beyonce. Ironically, that’s whom she says she is most compared.
Somehow we highly doubt that.

‘Beasts Of The Southern Wild’ Star Youngest Best Actress Nominee


Beasts of the Southern Wild actress makes Oscars history The spunky 9-year-old actress in “Beasts of the Southern Wild” has become the youngest nominee for Best Actress at the Oscars.
The Oscars have been making history this year with major snubs, surprising nominations, and welcoming both the oldest and youngest Best Actress nominees in Oscar history.
Quvenzhane Wallis has received major recognition critical acclaim for her role as Hushpuppy in “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”
Critics everywhere claim that the young star’s performance proved she had “wisdom beyond her years.”
Wallis was only 5-years-old when her mother tricked her into auditioning for the role by telling her she was going to check out books from the library. Instead, her mother rushed her off to the audition and the young actress was skeptical.
Beasts of the Southern Wild grabs four Oscar nominations Despite being tricked into auditioning for the role, her spunky attitude won casting over in a heartbeat and Wallis was suddenly whisked away to stardom.
Being only nine means she has beat Keisha Castle-Hughes record as the youngest Best Actress nominee for her role in “Whale Rider” when she was 13.
Although it is shocking to see a nine year old competing with major names in the industry – including Jessica Chastain from “Zero Dark Thirty,” Jennifer Lawrence from “Silver Linings Playbook,” and the oldest Best Actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva from “Amour” – Shirley Temple still stands as the youngest actress to receive any kind of Oscar, but even she was competing against the grown folks.
Temple was only 6-years-old when she nabbed the Academy Juvenile Award back in 1935.
Youngest and Oldest Best actress nominees at the oscars The outspoken actress is the youngest Best Actress nominee, and ranks in as the third youngest nominee in all four of the acting categories.
Justin Henry was only 8-years-old when he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1980 for his role in Kramer Vs. Kramer. Second place is held by Jackie Cooper who was only nine when he grabbed a nomination for Best Actor for his “Skippy” role in 1931.
Of course, Wallis has yet another chance to break another Oscars record if she actually wins the award for Best Actress. It would make her not only the youngest actress to receive the award in her category, but it would also make her the youngest star to grab an Oscar in any of the four acting categories.
That record is currently being held by Tatum O’Neal who was 10-years-old when she was selected as the Best Supporting Actress for her “Paper Moon” role in 1974. Just behind O’Neal is Anna Paquin who was 11 when she won the same category for “The Piano” in 1994.
Beasts of the Southern Wild actress makes Oscars history While she is waiting to find out if she has won her first Oscars, Quvenzhane has already nabbed the Critics Choice Award for Best Young Actor/Actress – triumphing over Kara Hayward, Logan Lerman, Elle Fanning, Tom Holland, and Suraj Sharma.
Breaking Oscars records is just the beginning for the “Beasts of the Southern Wild” actress, however, as she has already been cast to play in the upcoming film “Twelve Years a Slave” along side Paul Giamatti, Brad Pitt, and Michael Fassbender.
In case you were wondering what a 9-year-old girl wants in order to celebrate her historical nomination? “Pizza, chicken and waffles and good stuff,” is all the pint sized actress really wants.
“Beasts of the Southern Wild” is also up for three more nominations in addition to Wallis’s Best Actress nomination. Director Benh Zeitlin is up for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for the powerful film, and the movie was touching enough to have the film grab a nomination in the “Best Picture” category as well.

Sharon Osbourne Lashes out at Lady Gaga for ‘Bullying’ Letter to Kelly

Kelly Osbourne Lady GagaSharon Osbourne has penned an explosive response to Lady Gaga after the singer criticized Osbourne’s daughter Kelly in an open letter.
“I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly” the Osbourne family matriarch writes. Sharon continues, “Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?”  The back and forth of bad blood between Gaga and the Osbournes began in late 2012, when Kelly Osbourne–who is a fashion correspondent for E! and co-anchor of Joan Rivers’s Fashion Police–made a few comments about Gaga’s weight gain.
“I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot,”  Kelly suggested at a London Fashion week event, referring to a photo of the singer wearing a burka.
Lady Gaga’s throngs of devoted fans soon attacked Kelly for the comment, even mounting death threats. Mama Sharon decided to take action, penning a letter to Lady Gaga’s manager, Vince Hebert.
In her letter, Sharon writes ‘Vince, I’m leaving it in your hands to do the right thing here. One tweet from Gaga can change this whole situation. I’m not asking her to deal with this directly but she if she could tweet something to her fans about being more respectful that may end this. I’m sure she doesn’t condone her fans saying such hideously offensive things,” she writes, adding “I thought that Gaga was a main campaigner against bullying.”
In the response posted on her website, Gaga denounces Kelly for not reaching out herself. Gaga declares Kelly has “chosen a less compassionate path”  through her  work on Fashion Police, a program “rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people’s beauty against one another.”
Gaga calls Kelly out for commenting on the weight gain of others when she used to be heavier herself, writing “To see you Lady Gaga Disses Kelly Osbourneblossoming into a beautiful slender woman who makes fun of others for a living is astounding. Why not help others? Why not defend others who are bullied for their image and share your story?”
Sharon was not too pleased with Gaga’s response, furious at the singer for taking the conversation public rather than contacting Kelly directly.
Sharon writes: “By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker. You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?’ Let me know if you want to continue this debate. I’m an open playing field for you my darling. Sincerely, Sharon Osbourne.”
As of yet, Gaga has not responded.

Kanye West, Kris Jenner Feuding Over New Home and Baby Announcement

Kanye West Kris Jenner fight over control of KimKanye West and Kris Jenner have been feuding ever since he announced Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy during his concert and the battle for control has been in full force ever since.
Kim may have a serious problem on her hands since both her mother and her boyfriend are serious control freaks.
The latest Kris VS Kanye battle ensued after the couple decided not to buy the home that Kris has already picked out for them.
As you can only imagine, Jenner wants her favorite daughter and future favorite grandbaby as close to her as possible so she picked out a home in her neighborhood for Kimye to move in to.
Kanye (knowing of Kris’s controlling ways) ditched the idea of living in Hidden Hills with the Kardashian clan and instead dropped $11 million on a new home in Bel Air.
Kanye's big mouth ruins million dollar deal for baby announcement Needless to say, Jenner isn’t too happy about Kim’s new boyfriend ruining her plans to take over Kimmy’s life.
“Kris is desperate to be close to Kim during her pregnancy,” a source close to the family revealed. “So she hand-picked a property for her daughter and Kanye in Hidden Hills. The home was in a gated community, was very palatial and an ideal setting for them to live privately away from the media glare.”
It seems like Mr. West would much rather pick his battle with the paparazzi than pick it with his future mother-in-law. Kanye has been able to control everything about his girlfriend – including her wardrobe. Living a few steps away from the Kardashian’s mom, however, means he will live the rest of his life butting heads with Jenner.
In addition to shooting down the idea of living in Kris’s neighborhood, Kanye also rejected the notion that Kim’s mom should have her own key.
Kris Jenner angry with Kanye for purchasing home away from her “She wanted to be able to visit Kim as often as possible and come and go as and when she chose to,” the source continued. “Kris even suggested having her own key, but Kanye laid down the law. He said ‘hell no’ to the idea and told Kim he didn’t want to live near her mom.”
It looks like the battle for control of Kim is leaning in Yeezy’s favor.
The decision not to live in the home Kris picked for them isn’t the first time Kanye showed Kris who’s boss, however.
Sources suggest that the two have been feuding for quite some time because Mr. West feels like his girlfriend’s mom needs to stop meddling in his relationship.
Of course, any episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” would have shown Ye that if there is anything Kris isn’t willing to do, it’s stay out of her daughter’s life.
The good news is, there is one thing that Kris loves more than controlling Kim – money. And as long as Kanye doesn’t interfere with that…. O wait. He already has.
Kanye Ruins million dollar deal for Kim Kardashian baby announcement Remember Kanye’s big baby announcement at his concert that every tabloid got a hold of for FREE? Yea, Kimmy’s mom wasn’t too happy about that.
Jenner was in negotiations with Us Weekly who were ready to drop a large lump sum to be the first ones to break the baby news, but Kanye beat them to it.
“Sometimes the baby announcement sells more than the baby pics,” one insider revealed. Considering the fact that Kimye have already received a $3 million baby photo offer and Kim isn’t even showing a bump yet, the family could have easily raked in a few million if they let a major mag break the news instead of the baby daddy.
“Kris runs that family like a machine,” the insider explained. “She wanted the control over when and where they make their money. The [Us Weekly] contract states that they have Kourtney exclusively for two weeks, but they’re more interested in Kim.”
Kanye is taking away Kris’s power and money and we’re not sure how much longer the Kardashian queen will stand for it.

White House RespondsTo Piers Morgan Deportation Petition


Piers Morgan protected under First Amendment The White House has responded to the Piers Morgan deportation petition, and ruled that Morgan is protected by the First Amendment. The decision, despite being clearly backed by the Bill of Rights, has sparked yet another Twitter war.
The White House proved that they do actually pay attention to the “We The People” petition website after they made a public response to the petition urging for Piers Morgan to be deported after he shared his opinion about gun laws in America.
After the CNN reporter made it clear that he was disgusted with the gun laws in the midst of the Newton elementary school shooting, petitioners took to the White House website to demand he be deported.
White House Spokesman Jay Carney, responded to the 109,000 plus signees and reminded them that in their haste to defend the Second Amendment, they have overlooked the First.
“When Discussing the Second Amendment, Keep the First in Mind Too,” the written response was titled.
“Americans may disagree on matters of public policy and express those disagreements vigorously, but no one should be punished by the government simply because he or she expressed a view on the Second Amendment – or any other matter of public concern,” he explained in his response to the petition.
White House reponds to Piers Morgan Deportation petition So in other words, just as much as they have the right to carry firearms, Piers has the right to call them “incredibly stupid” if he so pleases. Either way, it’s his right as valid Visa holder – which brings us to the second part of the argument.
According to the Piers Morgan deportation petitioners, Morgan’s freedom of speech is guaranteed but since he is not an American citizen his right to live within the country’s borders isn’t promised.
However this seems to be yet another case of people only wanted to enforce one Amendment with no regard to the others.
It is generally held that anyone within U.S borders, whether legal or illegal immigrants – are protected by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Piers Morgan deportation petition denied by the White House This principle is held up in the 14th Amendment which assures everyone the right to “Due Process.”
The Due Process and Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment states: “…now shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Needless to say, however, not all the petition supporters are seeing eye to eye with the White House for making the decision.
The Daily Caller’s Patrick Howley wrote that he believed the White House “issued a factually incorrect response.”
Howley tried to insist that the First Amendment for some reason just doesn’t apply to non U.S. citizens according to a 1972 Supreme Court ruling that decided it wasn’t a violation of the First Amendment for the Attorney General to deny a journalist entrance into the U.S.
Howley’s opinion was also backed by James Taranto’s tweets about the White House decision.
“Your opinion is protected, your presence in the U.S is not,” Taranto tweeted.
Of course, other users on Twitter weren’t going to remain quiet after the debate spilled unto social media.
“Mandel=Taranto’s proposition,” Joe McDermott tweeted. “Congress = plenary power to exclude aliens. Learn to read.”
According to Justin McLachlan, however, McDermott is the one who needs to do some reading – particularly a few law text books.
“First Amendment = reason Congress can’t arbitrarily deport valid visa holder for political views. Go to law school,” McLachlan tweeted.
Either way Morgan is just happy that the White House has backed his right to stay within U.S borders.
“Thank you for keeping me, Mr President @BarackObama – much appreciated,” Morgan tweeted after the White House made their decision.
Meanwhile, you can’t help but notice a bit of hypocrisy in those who are ready to deport Morgan but aren’t really up in arms about the anti-American “Gangnam Style” rapper Psy hopping in and out of America as he pleases despite the fact that he has made songs calling for Americans (along with their daughter-in-laws and wives) to be killed.
If his freedom of speech is being protected, Morgan’s opinion should definitely be protected as well.
