The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap – A Fool Is a Fool
4 months ago
The Real Housewives of Atlanta “Praise the Pageant.” If only they would have taken the time for a dress rehearsal. We recap all the bloopers in our THG +/- review.
Cynthia throws her Miss Renaissance Pageant with lots of pushing and little polish. Minus 20. Perhaps a dress rehearsal or two would have helped.
Where to begin?
How about with actor and celebrity host Boris Kodjoe. No doubt he’s a handsome man in anything he wears but Cynthia obviously needed to specify he should wear a suit, especially when all of the ladies on stage were wearing gowns. Minus 15. Who shows up

Chris Brown: Threatened By Gang Member Outside Club!
4 months ago
Everyone seems to have beef with Chris Brown these days.
Drake is suing him after their brawl last year, Frank Ocean threw down with him in a parking lot, the D.A. alleges he didn’t do community service … so it goes.
Now gang members are threatening him outside clubs!
As he left Playhouse Wednesday night – the same venue where Drake was denied entry because Chris was inside – he was confronted by some crazy dude.
It’s unclear why the n-word, f-bomb throwing gangster was screaming at Brown, but he accused the star of being a crip and asked if his car was bulletproof.

His life has been transformed for the better, he says.
Bar Rafaeli Super Bowl CommercialThe ad, which somehow made Danica Patrick irrelevant, touted the sexy side (Bar) and smart side (Jesse) of domain registration staple GoDaddy.

4 months ago
Chris Brown is apparently feeling crucified since his fight with Frank Ocean.
Yesterday, the 23-year-old R&B star, who also paints in his spare time, posted a new photo on Instagram of Jesus on the cross, with a not-so cryptic caption:
“Painting the way I feel today,” he wrote.
Although he seems to have an extremely hard time taking his own advice, the controversial and often embattled singer also added, “Focus on what matters!”
Accounts of the Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight vary.
The alleged altercation involving the stars and their posses occurred at a W. Hollywood

Chris Brown-Frank Ocean Brawl: History of Animosity to Blame?
4 months ago
Was the Chris Brown-Frank Ocean fight really just over a parking spot? Or did a shared history of animosity between the musicians and their camps trigger it?
If you missed it, Chris was listening to artist he represents at an LA-area studio last night; when he went to leave, Ocean and his people blocked him in.
Chris reportedly went to shake hands with Frank, only to be attacked by one of Ocean’s entourage members, and things went downhill from there.
Soon enough, a brawl involving six people broke out; Ocean told cops (and Tweeted) the fight started over a parking space, and

Rodney King Cause of Death: Drugs, Alcohol, State of Delirium
10 months ago
The body of Rodney King was discovered at the bottom of a pool by his fiancee last month, with the cause of death listed as “accidental drowning.”
That may technically still be the case, but the official death report has come out and it’s undeniable now that the man whose 1991 beating sparked riots in Los Angeles stumbled to his demise at the result of numerous substances in his body.
It’s unclear if he jumped or fell into the water, according to the coroner, but King was “in a state of drug and alcohol induced delirium” at the time of his passing.

Joe Jonas famously dumped Taylor Swift over the phone in 2008. She then taunted him on Saturday Night Live.
And he responded by writing a song that slammed his ex.
But the bad blood between these young stars appears to have simmered down, as Jonas said in an interview with Washington, D.C.’s 94.7 Fresh FM yesterday that Swift’s latest breakup anthem – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” – is not based on their history.

It’s been less than five months since Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth split after 11 years of marriage, but she already looks quite a lot different.
Noticeably slimmer, to be more specific.
On a media tour in NYC August 7, Garth, 40, is discussing life as a single mom of three, as chronicled on CMT’s Jennie Garth: A Little Bit County.

Serena Williams Obliterates Maria Sharapova, Wins Gold Medal
10 months ago
Serena Williams can add one more achievement to her Hall of Fame resume: Olympic champion.
The 14-time Grand Slam winner won a major tournament on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon for the second time this summer, destroying top-ranked Maria Sharapova in the Gold Medal match by a score of 6-0, 6-1.
It was the most lopsided women’s final in Olympic history.
Williams lost only 17 games across six matches and let out a scream and even did a little dance upon taking the decisive point.
“I don’t think I’ve ever danced like that,” she said afterward. “I don’t even know where the dance came
