NBC Officially Cancels Boris Kodjoe's "Undercovers"

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 08:18 AM PDT

We said it might happen, and now NBC has confirmed they have indeed cancelled Boris Kodjoe's new tv show "Undercovers."   In case you missed it, find out the deets inside...

 

The fabulous wardrobe changes, assumed identities and faux accents are over for NBC’s spy drama “Undercovers” and its star Boris Kodjoe.

NBC announced yesterday that it will not order additional episodes beyond the original 13-episodes they already requested.   The "Undercovers" cast is currently filming Episode 12.

The series broke primetime ground by featuring two black actors, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Boris Kodjoe, as the leads, but viewership began to fall off after the first few episodes.

The show will stay on for the next 2 weeks and will air its last original (for now) on December 1, plus a few remaining episodes that will air at some point afterwards.  Damn homie.  First Mechad Brooks' "My Generation" gets cancelled, now this.

Lil Wayne Selling His $14 Million Miami Mansion?!

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 07:21 AM PDT

Lil Wayne, who was released from jail today, is allegedly selling his $14 million Miami mansion.  Looks like Weezy needs some cash to pay his lawyers for all the work they've been doing the past few years.  We've got the deets when you read on...

Weezy may have paid $14 millie for his La Gorce street beautiful Miami mansion.  But thanks to the housing market, he just put it up for sale for $12.9 million.  Pics from the outside:

Prior to this 9-bedroom, 9-bathroom architectural masterpiece, he was previously residing in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in Miami.  Now where is all of Young Money going to live...since allegedly damn near the whole label is living at that mansion--bunk beds and all?

Speaking of Young Money, Bow Wow, Birdman, and Slim were all spotted out in NYC right before Wayne's release this week:

Good luck with that sell Weezy...

 

Nicki Minaj Says No Rap Chick Worthy Of Being Name Checked In "Roman's Revenge"

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 05:48 AM PDT

 

As Nicki Minaj's duet with Eminem, "Roman's Revenge", heats up the charts, Nicki killed any speculation about a Lil' Kim diss saying no one is worthy of being singled out in her rhymes.  Read the deets inside....

 

When asked about criticism from her fellow femcees like Lil Kim' a few days ago, Nicki Minaj said the other rap chicks aren't really mad at her, they are mad at their own failure in the rap game.  

And in a new interview, she takes it a bit further saying "Roman's Revenge" was not a diss towards Lil' Kim because no particular rap chick is worthy to be name checked. She said,

"No, I'm talking about everyone who has been in interviews talking and I think it's good for people to hear me respond.  A lot people have said so much about me so I don't ever single anyone out because no one is worth being singled out," Minaj explained in an interview when asked if she was dissing Kim. "No one is worth having their name mentioned out of my mouth and they never will get that.

But you know, I've been quiet for such a long time, I've been the nice guy, I've been the person that gave everybody their props. I complemented everybody from day one and I think that as a rapper, you can't be a rapper and not speak on things being said about you. So, I use my music to say what I have to say."

When veteran femcee and diss record queen Roxanne Shante was asked her opinion of the track, she told VIBE

"[Nicki's] record was to prove a point, but I was never afraid to say names. Not saying that she's afraid, but I always wanted people to know who I was talking about...The similarities are she just doesn't care. Like, [Lil Kim], this is what I'm saying about you, now what you gonna do?

Being a battle rapper that was totally respected by my male counterparts, I understand where she's coming from. No one can tell the future. [Lil' Kim] could come back with something that blows everyone's mind. Or, she could come back with something and blow her own mind."

Well Nicki has been talking much ish lately.  Don't necessarily get how you can be such a "bad chick" but scared to name names or won't even admit you are talking about someone when you're asked.  Another sign this type of ish just aint for me or my demographic.  But anywho, can't wait to see if Pink Friday delivers or flops.  

Cast-Member Of "The Bad Girls Club: Miami" Arrested In Philly For Drug Possession

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 04:30 AM PDT

A cast-member of The Bad Girls Club: Miami was the target of a huge drug bust in Philadelphia, PA., and fans of the show won't believe which one.  Deets inside....

 

 

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office arrested Catya Washington on Wednesday for possessing cocaine, mushrooms, ecstasy and one firearm.

Catya, whose Bad Girls nickname was "the Elite Player," voluntarily left the house earlier this season, saying she was too "high class" to degrade herself like her fellow roomies.  Her bail was set at $500,000 and she's due in court on Nov. 22.  SMH.  Maybe in court she will define "high-class" for the judge.

Sexy Boris Kodjoe has a lot to be happy about these days.  We hear his show "Undercovers" on NBC may not be getting renewed, but the rest of the season will indeed air, he's got 2 kiddies, and a hot wife who knows how to look fab on those long walks on the beach.

 

 

We've got pics of Boris and Nicole Kodjoe getting kissy and cuddly in Santa Monica when you read on...

These two love their PDA.  Remember their Halloween decorating friskiness?

They had some splashy fun in the ocean.

Hot.  Loves these two.

Rihanna Goes RED For Westfield Christmas Lights in London

Posted: 04 Nov 2010 02:31 PM PDT

Well this is one way to get into the Christmas spirit.  Rihanna got decked out in red for the Westfield Christmas Lights 2010 event in London today.  We've got the pics of her red carpet arrival and performance when you read on....

Chick was decked out in red from her skirt to her hair to her hair scarf to her nails to her lipstick.  But even when the red hair is in curls--it's just not doing it for us. 

But cute look nonetheless.  I feel like going to see Minnie Mouse all of a sudden...

FOOLYWANG MATERIAL: 50 Cent Playing With $500K During A Recession!

Posted: 04 Nov 2010 11:46 AM PDT

50 Cent has nothing better to do with his time than play with $500,000 in $100 bills.

See the rest of the pics when you go inside...

50 Cent showed off his stacks on deck yesterday and bragged to all of his followers with pics. He gathered $500,000 on a table and played around with it making a house out of money and a heart of money. He said "Who said I don't have a heart. Lol"

 

SMH. You can't tell people what to do with their money, but with so many people losing their jobs...their houses...their savings...this is a little tacky and obnoxious.  And some of those struggling are likely fans of 50 Cent.   Can't wait for him to grow up.

Sheree Whitfield "Gets Checked" By Divorce Lawyer+Her ATL Party Planner Returns With Song And TV Show!?

Posted: 04 Nov 2010 09:41 AM PDT

When Atlanta housewife Sheree Whitfield asked the now infamous question, "Who gonna check me boo?" it made us all feel like she was invincible at that moment.  Unfortunately, she found out the answer to that question over the weekend.  Find out the deets inside plus witness the return of her  party planner and what he has in store for us...

 

Sheree Whitfield woke up this weekend to find out she had "gotten checked."  Seems as though the reality star owes her divorce lawyer more than $110,000 in legal fees and he got her together.  Since she had failed to make a single payment, he sent the local sheriff's department to seize Sheree's Aston Martin. 

When contacted by TMZ, Sheree said the judgment against her was unfair but, "It's okay, it's a car, I'll get another one."  SMH. Yes Sheree...but the point is you still haven't paid your legal fees.

Isn't it interesting to compare the Atlanta housewives to the Beverly Hills edition.  In Atlanta, the cars get seized, the husband's borrow money and don't repay it and couples move from McMansions back to the boondocks.  But on the Beverly Hills edition, the wives attend basketball games (and they own the team) or check into hotels suites of hotels they own.  SMH.  Isn't this what BRAVO had in mind in the first place?  I like Atlanta but maybe we need to call them "The Real Housewives Of The Recession." Womp.

And Anthony Shorter, the party planner Sheree helped put on the map last year is not going away quietly. In fact, he's coming out with a music album and is in talks for his own reality show.  SMH.

In a recent interview Anthony reveals he has shot a tv pilot saying "We're shopping it around to networks." And while no deal has been inked, he has numerous meetings with top networks who have expressed interest, and the pilot has already been shot.

The show will be "one hundred percent" based on his life though he is willing to invite the Atlanta Housewives onto the show. He said,

"Everything that was shown on the Real Housewives about me was accurate. I am headstrong and I have a take no mess attitude.  I look at him [himself on the show] as a character. So my show will pick up with the same character and following event planning from inception to implementation."

Originally from Los Angeles, Anthony would tape "Anthony The Party Planner" around both L.A. and Atlanta.  And following in the footsteps of Kim Zolciak, Anthony is trying to make moves on iTunes as he plans to release a single called "Party Planner" that you can check out here.
