"Basketball Wives: LA" star Draya Michelle and her Dallas Cowboys beau Orlando Scandrick aren't letting Chantel Christie, Jackie Christie or anyone else stand in their way.  At least that's what they want everyone to believe.

Draya posted plenty of pics saying, "Hello. WE see you"

She also said, "I'm a good person and my life is good because I deserve it. #idontmaketherules #sorrynotsorry".

Draya isn't worried about cheating......why is anyone else, apparently...
 

And next week on BBW:

 

Not gonna lie.  This season is damn near impossible to stomach.  But, we're giving it chance...

Kwasi Enin appeared on David Lettermen while Nas talked politics and sports with Bill Maher.  Watch the clips inside....

Kwasi Enin appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman where he offered advice, via Letterman's funny Top 10 list, on making a college application stand out.  He would know since he got into all 8 ivy league schools.  Good luck on writing those essays!

 

Also on late night....

Nas appeared on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" where he discussed DeSean Jackson being released from the Philedelphia Eagles reportedly due to suspicion of gang ties

When Bill posed the question, Nas replied, “I just wanna know who is the gang sign-ologist in the NFL. I didn’t know they had crips and bloods on payroll.”  Nas argued Desean threw up signs...but signs for what?  Who's  to say it was a gang thing?

Check out the clip above.

He said, "Wow...what an incredible night and the show hasn't even started. Thank you Saturday Night Live for the birthday cake and all the laughs."
Sweet!

He snapped pics after his performance with the kids from BLOC NYC agency who performed "Happy" with him, and his mentor Hans Zimmer and the string musicians:

REVELATIONS: Pastor Mase & Wife Twyla Lied? Docs Prove They Are NOT Getting Back Together, Still Fighting Over Custody & Spousal Support

Posted: 06 Apr 2014 07:08 AM PDT

Newly discovered court documents revealed that Mase and his wife Twyla Betha actually split two years ago and have been "frontin" for their ATL congregation.  Get more divorce revelations inside...

Remember we told you about Mase and Twyla getting a divorce...and then we found out they were back together?  Well....all of that was a front. ALL OF IT.  

It turns out, TMZ did some digging and Twyla filed legal separation documents in San Diego (right AFTER Mase filed for divorce in Atlanta).  The docs revealed they split back in 2012.  That means, every Sunday morning service, every communion, every baptism, every book fair, every lecture was under the cloud of a lie.  They haven't been a "happily" married couple for YEARS.  All the while, they've been peddling their book.  So it looks like they played the part in order to sell their ish.

Well...now that the "truth" is out, we went over to the church website and the beautiful photos of the pastor and first lady all coupled up and talking about a good "marriage" have been replaced with an homage to "Footprints in the sand."  Maybe they're asking the good Lawd to carry them into new relationships?

Shayne and Bria, the oldest daughters of Eddie and Nicole Murphy abide by the law....much like their fabulously fit mom.  The twosome are on vacay...from what exactly we're not sure since their posh life IS a vacay....but everybody needs some beach life evey now and then:

We hope the execs over at Victoria's Secret...or somewhere...are paying attention. Looking great ladies!

FRESH FACE: WWE's Ariane "Cameron" Andrew COVERS "ROLLING OUT", DISHES On SUCCEEDING In A Male-Dominated Arena

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 10:23 AM PDT

 photo hr-CR__7220.jpg

We can't be the only ones obsessed with E's show "Total Divas".  And now that the Funkadactyls have become two of our fave fab chicks, one half of the duo is getting her shine.  The fabulous Ariane Andrew covers the latest issue of ROLLING OUT where the "Total Divas" star dishes on her success in a world of muscle-bound men.  She's not your typical wrestler...

 photo HR-CR__7395.jpg

26-year-old Ariane Andrew, whose stage name is "Cameron", is breaking ground as one of the WWE Divas and stars of “WWE Monday Night Raw.” Every week, she reaches nearly 280 million fans around the world as one of the handful of African Americans who've become franchise players in the field (see WWE's David Otunga).  

During the first season of "Total Divas", we saw her struggle with fibroids and her (semi-funny) obsession with getting a boob job.

 photo HR-CR__7239.jpg

Now, fit and fab Ariane (who's WWE partner is fellow fab chick Trinity Fatu), is expanding her public persona with a cover story in ROLLING OUT.  We get to know who she is outside of the ring and how she found success in a male-dominated field.  Here are the highlights:

On being a role model:

I am happy to be black and a role model for little girls and boys to have an inspiration to look up to. WWE is a humongous, worldwide, international company. I am glad to be able to be a role model and to show kids [that] if you work hard, have dedication and have drive, you can achieve anything. The sky is the limit. You constantly see new demographics coming in and watching the show; especially now after ‘Total Divas.’

 

 photo HR-CR__7188.jpg

 

On finding success in a male-dominated field:

This is a sport that is usually dominated by men. So it’s awesome to be a strong, black American woman in a world that has been predominantly for men.

On her E! reality show "Total Divas":

“You have seven girls together so there’s going to be talk, there’s going to be drama and there’s going to be breakups. It’s a competitive world. You see all of us girls duke it out trying to make it to the top. At the end of the day, we are family and we come together and we are friends. But, you see the roller coaster of emotions.”

On being a top wrestler:

No one can just get into the ring. It requires a lot of practice. I had to go into the Florida Championship Wrestling developmental program in Orlando, Fla. It’s where the WWE superstars and divas go to train before they can make it to the main roster. Taking a bump is not easy. The people you see on TV doing this all trained hard. It looks easy, but it really isn’t. You have to have thick skin and work hard to perform inside the ring.

 

 photo HR-CR__7260.jpg

 

On finding love and mainting a relationship:

With our job, we have very busy schedules and we are on the road a lot. It’s not like any other sport where there is an off-season. We are constantly going. You miss birthdays and special occasions, but that’s all a part of being in this business. Sometimes it can be difficult, but I feel like if you have someone who is strong and supportive and he’s going to be down for you, then the relationship is going to be great. No matter what relationship you have, there [will] always be ups and downs. My boyfriend is amazing and strong; he is perfect sometimes. I feel like no matter which way you choose, relationships are going to have pros and cons. But, I love my man and he is super supportive.

On participating in Wrestemania 30 (April 6th, in New Orleans):

It’s a dream to walk down that ramp at WrestleMania. I’ve been a part of WrestleMania before as a dancer, but my dream for this year is to actually step in the ring and be able to take action. It’s an amazing experience. I’m definitely looking forward to WrestleMania.
