UPDATE: Dez Bryant's "Domestic Dispute" Was Altercation With Half-Brother & MOTHER, Turns Himself In Posted: 17 Jul 2012 10:32 AM PDT So about that domestic dispute that led to NFL star Dez Bryant's arrest yesterday...we now know it involved an altercation between him and both his mother & half-brother.
Deets inside... After reports hit the net last night that Dez Bryant was arrested after a domestic dispute this weekend, new reports today are giving the details. It didn't involve a girlfriend or baby mama, but instead, Dez's own mother! ESPN Dallas confirmed today that Dez "turned himself in" for his arrest on Monday, as they confirmed with the Desoto Police Department. The same police department confirmed he was actually arrested on Saturday when the actual assault occurred, so no word on if there were two different arrests. As for what went down, the site reports:
TMZ gives more details claiming Dez allegedly threw his baseball cap in his mother's face during an argument, and grabbed her by her shirt so hard that it ripped. Dez's mother allegedly ordered Dez to leave when the argument started, and this led to the altercation. Police also confirmed to the gossip site that they saw bruises on her upper arm. Dez's mother claimed she also had painful bruises on her wrists, chest & hands. Check out the 9-1-1 call HERE. This is just foolish. Check out Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless discussing whether Dez is worth the trouble. |
Posted: 17 Jul 2012 09:42 AM PDT We could go on for days and days and likely weeks about everything that is WRONG with "Love & Hip Hop Atanta." But that would be pointless as we would be preaching to the choir. What we do find interesting is what Puerto Rican co-star Joseline Hernandez thinks of herself--in her own words.
Check out her latest interview about those naked pics, her troubled past, "Steebie," and how she can prove her ass is real inside... We find ourselves feeling more sorry for Joseline than we do judgment towards her. When you know better, you do better. So is the former stripper with apparently little to no self esteem making any progress after this "Love & Hip Hop" stint? We're not sure. But here's a few excerpts from her interview with Global Grind--including why she still loves her some Stevie J. (or as she calls him even in her tweets now, Steebie):
So, a workout DVD on the way, her reggaeton career she's still chasing & excusing Stevie J.'s disgusting pimp-attempts on women who clearly can't see him for what he really is and his disrespectful treatment and saying he's simply "a ladies' man." You win some, you lose some. Check out the full interview over at Global Grind. |

Alicia Keys has hit the campaign trail for President Barack Obama and is urging women to get out and vote. See pics inside and see the President and First Lady get kissy courtside.
"New Day" singer Alicia Keys is also hoping for a new America as she hosted an Organizing For America Volunteer Event at West Philadelphia OFA Field office. The singer has been hot on the trail for President Obama as she readies her new album. She also attended the Women Vote 2012 Summit at Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA and made the day of some kiddies:
She tweeted, What an inspiring day!! When we stand together theres no impossible!! @barackobama #women2012 Let's gooooo!!
And speaking of The Obamas, courtside at the TEAM USA game last night........ President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama got kissy courtside during an exhibition basketball game between the Brazilian and U.S. men's national teams in Washington D.C. The KISS CAM landed on the First Couple, and they ignored it--much to the crowd's dismay who boo'd loudly. But when they were given a second chance--Mr. President went in for the lip lock. Get it! President Obama didn't reserve his kisses for the First Lady only..... He also made First Daughter Malia blush with a smooch on the forehead. Loves this family! The President, along with VP Joe Biden, also stopped by the women's national team's practice earlier yesterday.

Posted: 16 Jul 2012 03:37 PM PDT Elle Varner just dropped her next single off her upcoming Perfectly Imperfect album. Check out the sweet and soulful track "I Don't Care" inside. Plus, rising artist Kendrick Lamar performed his brand new track "Swimming Pools" this weekend. We're feeling him, and so should you....
As a follow up to her track "Refill," Elle Varner keep up the girly story of falling in love with a young yet soulful vibe. Check out one of our fave up and coming R&B chicks on "I Don't Care," which will appear on her debut studio album Perfectly Imperfect, dropping August 7th. She also confirmed she's shooting the video for her newest track soon.
Elle isn't the only newbie from the Cali music scene. Rapper Kendrick Lamar is repping Compton as one of the fresh new artists with a great flow, even better beats and something real to say:
Dr. Dre's newest protege blasted on the scene with his hit "The Recipe" ft. Dre himself back in April. But he was already making waves after his 4th mixtape back in 2010, Overly Dedicated, and his first independent album Section.80 topped iTunes charts in 2011. And he did so as part of the group "Black Hippy" which includes fellow West Coast rappers Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. So he's teamed up with Cali's finest (Dr. Dre & his Aftermath label) to drop a debut studio album through a major label--Interscope. Kendrick is set to drop good kid, m.A.A.d city on October 2nd. His newest single "Swimming Pools (Drank)--following up to "The Recipe"--was released a few days ago. And the 25-year-old hit up the Pitchfork Festival at Chicago’s Union Park on Sunday to perform it for the first time. He was spotted (above) backstage chopping it up with Lady Gaga, who says she can't wait to work with him. Peep the performance below: The track was released only 3 days prior and the crowd knew every word. You feelin' him? The Randomness: 1.

FOOLISH ACTIVITIES: Vanity Wonder Reveals The Horrors Of BUTT INJECTIONS Posted: 16 Jul 2012 02:15 PM PDT Vanity Wonder, a former dancer and author of the popular book Shot Girls, recently opened up about her addiction to butt injections and how an infection made her ill. Deets inside.....
Vanity Wonder, a woman who claims she was addicted to butt injections, appeared on the UK morning show, This Morning today. She revealed to the hosts that her competition with other female dancers led her down the road to addiction and has completely altered her body. Vanity became an internet sensation when she posted pics of her developing booty and all the hardships she faced. She revealed,
But the injections, which many of your fave celebrity chicks secretly partake in as well, didn't just leave her with a large ASSet.
Vanity says she's speaking out because she doesn't want other women to get caught in the trap. She claims it's ok to get butt implants, but ladies should stay away from butt injections. She added,
Sometimes doing the most just really isn't worth it. |
OH? Diddy Wants Everyone To Know That He "Loves PU**Y" Posted: 16 Jul 2012 01:23 PM PDT Diddy was on his flashy ish this weekend in Las Vegas. Dude just posted a pic flashing his fat pinky ring, diamond watch & hlding a handful of lady parts.
Check it inside... So while chillin' poolside with some female company (we know Cassie is in Vegas as well but we can't confirm it's her in the pic), Diddy decided to snap the above pic with his hand between a woman's leg. And said: "I love pussy." We kinda figured that out after your 5 kids (not counting Quincy) and 3 baby mamas. But we figure this litle shenanigan was all an ode to his Bad Boy artist French Montana's new video "Pop That." Which is, of course, a throwback to Luke's oh so classy "Pop That Pu**y" song and vid: Boys will be boys..... BONUS: Speaking of Diddy, former Bad Boy group Day 26 has officially called it quits. Yeah, we didn't know they were still a group either. Their reps sent out a statement today about the "break" they are taking. In part, it reads:
Oh... Pic: Instagram |
SPOTTED: Chris Brown & Karrueche SHOP IT UP Amidst Rihanna Hook Up Rumors Posted: 16 Jul 2012 12:11 PM PDT
A back-to-blonde Chris Brown spent his weekend painting and shopping around L.A. with his girlfriend Karrueche. Despite the rumors that he exchanged texts with Rihanna right before the weekend and the to ALLEGEDLY met up for drinks in secret right before she boarded a jet for vacay.... Whether they're putting the rumors about Rihanna to rest in their own way...or covering them up...Breezy & Kae took their coupledom to the shopping streets of West Hollywood Sunday afternoon. Since she is his "stylist," they were likely combining a little business and pleasure. Tabloids said this weekend that Rihanna supposedly sent Chris a text asking him if he's going out this weekend. While another gossip outlet reported today that Chris & Rihanna actually met up on a private "date" of sorts in the Valley--before she hopped a private jet to Sardinia. Supposedly the exes wanted to drink and talk in private--without all the paparazzi hoopla. Wouldn't be shocking if true, but can't say we're believing any of it just yet. So how else did the "Strip" singer, who is topping the charts with his latest Fortune album, spend his weekend: Painting and doing some graffiti artwork with his homies. Fun times.
