Posted: 21 Feb 2013 08:24 AM PST

 photo VIBEVixenEvelynLozada_zpsa5007c0f.jpg

Evelyn Lozada is talking about how she dealt with the aftermath of her domestic violence situation with ex-husband Chad Johnson.  And she's rocking the cover of VIBE VIXEN magazine's Beauty Issue....

She's got a new clothing line she just debuted at London Fashion Week, she's cranking out novels for her Cash Money Content book deal, and is still mixing it up with her co-stars on "Basketball Wives." 

So VIBE VIXEN caught up with Evelyn Lozada about her new change of attitude (no longer the resident snappy mouthed chick?), how her daughter saved her afer domestic violence, and the type of man she's looking for.

The nightlights from her cover story are below:

On changing her attitude for BBW 5:
“Listen, I’m not ever in life going to do some of the things I did last season, but I’m still going to be me. You don’t ever know what will come out of my mouth.”

On how her daughter helped her cope with the aftermath of the domestic violence:
"She’s been with me since the day of, and for three months, we were together. I was having anxiety, so I slept next to her; we were connected at the hips. She stepped up to do things that I mentally didn’t want to do."

On the type of man she admires:
"I really look up to Meagan Good and her husband, DeVon [Franklin]. I heard him preach, and this man had me in tears. I was like, “Wow, this is a man."

On what she looks forward to after reality TV:
"I would love to do production, turning my book into TV features and continue to work in fashion. I want my brands to be big. Global status."

 

Sounds like somebody's finally taken a maturity pill.  Check out the gallery of Evelyn pics over at VIXEN now.

Beyonce Knowles has a new Pepsi ad that she just released on her Facebook page.  Check it inside, plus an additional version....

She's SO pop...art that is.  Fab chick Beyonce worked with Pepsi again to create an Andy Warholesque piece of pop art featuring an extra blond mane, puckered hot pink lips, blue eyeshadow and cutesy faces.  The spokeswoman of the soft drink brand is in the midst of her newest major--rumored to be $50 million--deal where she helps design advertisements, projects and receives tour sponsorships from the brand.

The Patrick Demarchelier-shot image will appear in stores and on soft drinks pack starting now.  Bey said about the image on her FB page, "Pop Art inspires me to Live for NOW."

Mauro Porcini, Chief Design Officer at PepsiCo, said, "Beyoncé and Pepsi truly achieved the 'Pepsi Effect' with this collaboration. It was a joy to discover Beyoncé’s current passion for Pop Art, and together make it come alive in a very contemporary way."

Cute!

By the way, Beyonce has lots to celebrate this week.  Her HBO documentary, Life Is But A Dream broke the network record pulling in 1.8 mill viewers for its premiere, according to THR.  The previous record was held by Spike Lee's 2006 When The Levees Broke documentary.

And as for her Oprah interview special that aired an hour before the documentary, OWN reports that the special drew in 1.3 mill viewers.  Cha-ching!

Rocsi Loves The Kids--Invades A D.C. School As 'Celebrity Principal Of the Day'

Posted: 21 Feb 2013 07:05 AM PST

 photo schooledrocsi2_zps6fcba7d8.jpg

Rocsi Diaz is all about keeping the kids in school.  So she recently visited students at Washington D.C.’s Browne Education Campus with the National Get Schooled Victory Tour...and put on a schoolwide assembly and served as “Celebrity Principal for the Day”. 

 

Check out the fun times with Rocsi giving back inside....

 photo schooledrocsi1_zpsab98dba0.jpg

Wish we had celebrity principals back in the day in school.  Rocsi Diaz, former "106 & Park" host and current "Entertainment Tonight" correspondent, teamed up with D.C.'s WPGC and the Get Schooled Foundation to visit the middle school students of Browne Education Campus.  And it was all to celebrate their achievement of significantly raising their attendance rates as part of the Get Schooled National Attendance Challenge. Nice!

In addition to serving as the Celebrity Principal for the Day, Rocsi--rocking her R13 Denim Leather Chap Jeans--hit the classroom to co-teach a 7th Grade Science class and 8th Grade Language Arts class (we're sure THAT was interesting) and was even interviewed by a student.

 photo schooledrosci3_zps35dbbb85.jpg photo schooledrosci4_zps4598c756.jpg  photo schooledrosci5_zps0dac9d56.jpg

 

Rocsi told the students: “There is nothing more important than showing up to school every day, working hard, and staying focused on earning your high school degree. I am so proud of all the Brown Education Campus students who took the Get Schooled Attendance Challenge, worked together, and came out on top in raising their attendance rates.”

 

 

 photo schoolrosci10_zpsf4534139.jpg  photo schoolrosci8_zps4c7bebb1.jpg    

Rocsi’s visit to Browne Education Campus marks the kick-off of the nationwide Get Schooled Victory Tour that is aimed at informing students across the United States about the importance of school attendance, high school graduation and college readiness. The tour will bring other celebrities to five additional cities, including Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Providence and will run through the end of April.

Since an astounding 7.5 million students miss a month of school or more, putting too many students at risk for dropping out, this is def a fab cause Rocsi's pushing.

RUMOR CONTROL: Mimi Faust Says K. Michelle Hit Her With FLOWERS, K. Michelle RESPONDS: "U Got POPPED"

Posted: 21 Feb 2013 06:35 AM PST

 photo ScreenShot2013-02-21at73634AM.png

Mimi Faust has spoken out about the altercation she had with her "LAHH ATL" co-star K. Michelle this week....and K. Michelle's response wasn't too far behind.  Find out what both ladies said about their run-in inside....

 

Yesterday, we told you that there was an altercation between "LAHH ATL" stars Mimi Faust and K. Michelle that allegedly involved a slap to the face....but Mimi' s PR team released a statement about what really happened.  Or at least...they cleared up the part about the "slap."

Team Faust said...

“We have been working closely with our client, Mimi Faust, since the incident occurred hours ago. Although we do not yet understand the full scope of the incident, we do know that false allegations and rumors has been projected across media air waves concerning last night’s incident between Love & Hip Hop ATL cast members, K. Michelle and Mimi Faust.

Ms. Faust is currently unharmed and never went to the hospital to be treated for a busted eardrum. The incident started in the dressing room where K. Michelle simply hit Ms. Faust with flowers after seeming a little irritated with questions about earlier statements made in a prior interview. However, there were no damages done. In actuality, Ms. Faust left the venue and continued her night by visiting and enjoying herself in other New York City prestigious venues."

And Mimi added, 

“Recalling all of the past incidents with K. Michelle and other cast members, she never seems to wants to talk things out; the end results are always violent. That’s not the type of person I am and to continue to fight with K. Michelle would have been pointless.”

Although Team Faust said they did not understand the "full scope of the incident", K. Michelle didn't miss a beat and took to Twitter to share what sent those flowers flying:

 photo ScreenShot2013-02-21at73021AM.png

Well...we agree with her there.

We're sure cameras were rolling during the incident as "LAHH ATL" won't hit the air until April and Mona Scott milks every bit of the drama right up until the end.  Until then, K. Michelle needs to get this album done and take Sweet Brown's advice when it comes to all the fighting.  After just getting a new record deal, she and her talent ought not have time for that.   

 

Lil Wayne Says He MEANT His Tirade Against The Heat & NBA...Except What He Said About LeBron

Posted: 21 Feb 2013 06:08 AM PST

 photo 230under30_zpsb0be9437.jpeg

Lil Wayne called into Miami's 99Jamz last night to give his side of this whole NBA/Heat/Adrienne Bosh/F bomb drama. Check out what the "No Worries" rapper had to say inside...

 

So after all the drama of Weezy hitting the stage at Liv's Stereo Live on Sunday night and giving an F-Bomb tirade to the Miami Heat & The NBA, he's clearing some things up.  And reiterating some ish too.

He told host Felisha Monet that he meant what he said about the Heat and the NBA....but Miami is his second home so he loves the city.  He also said he meant F everyone....except LeBronOf course.

“Let me start off by saying, I don’t apologize for that night, I don’t apologize for being who I am. That’s who I am, this is who I am, and yes I did say those things. Only thing I do want to take back from saying that night is I said ‘F**k LeBron,’ I didn’t mean to say that because me and LeBron we are cool and I’m really cool with his mom and we have a real good relationship, and that’s my homie but it just slipped out. I didn’t mean to say that. Other than that though I don’t take nothing back.”

And he also explained what went down with him and Dwyane Wade at that Heat game he was "kicked out of."

'I was at the game, rooting for the Lakers, saying 'Chris Bosh you can't hit a shot, D-Wade stop crying, I'm saying whatever I wanna say, I'm a fan of who I'm a fan of," he explained. "Then Dwyane Wade comes over and he looks at me. I said 'y'all don't F--- with me, so I don't F--- with ya'll. Yall don't F--- with me'. [Wade] looked me dead in my eye and his exact words were, "We don't." He didn't say "I don't,' he said 'We don't.' So I said 'okay, well F--- you' then. He said 'well F--- you.' "From that point on I'm turnt up," Weezy added. "From that point on it's F--- everything about the Heat."

Weezy also dropped a few nuggets of info that we're not sure come from reality or from delusion. Either way...Weezy's feeling slighted these days. He says he was "tipped off" (by whom...we don't know) that security was coming to take him out that Heat game, so he decided to leave himself. Hence, the NBA saying they never removed him. Weezy also says he was "supposed to" perform during Alicia Keys' NBA All Star halftime show, but Commissioner Stern stepped in.

Oh, as for the Adrienne Bosh comment about him smashing, he said, "That's not important."  Ha!

Evelyn Lozada DEBUTS Her VIDA LUXE Line At LONDON Fashion Week!

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 03:54 PM PST

 photo EvelynLozadaCelebsLePoshNailSpaLARpoNb7KW2_sl.jpeg

Evelyn Lozada is across the pond dropping her new clothing line VIDA LUXE for London Fashion Week today.  Get deets on the line and see a preview of sketches inside....

 

As we speak, "BBW" star and fitness columnist Evelyn Lozada is debuting a new clothing line called VIDA LUXE in London for fashion week.  She described the line to Celebuzz saying, "It’s very feminine and flowy and will fit all body types. It’s just so much fun. Lots of colors and patterns."

And Evelyn, who teamed up with Bow Wow's mom Teresa Caldwell, on the line described their process saying, "We got together and she sketched out my ideas and we talked about every detail from fabric to color to hardware. After she drew out everything and put it together, I was blown away.”

We're sure the line will pop up on the upcoming season of "BBW" as the show will need to fill the gaps with positive happenings since all the wine-tossing and fighting has allegedly been put on pause.  

So what's the price point of her collection" Eve said,

“It will be anywhere from $100. I believe that you don’t have to have millions of dollars to look fabulous. You can have something affordable, and just make it look like a million bucks.”

And how did she end up at London Fashion Week? She revealed, "I wanted to do something big, and I thought that launching this overseas would have a great affect on the line. I figured ‘go big or go home!’”

She added that she has plans to target the line towards her high profile friends like Rihanna and has dreams of expanding the collection into denim and feminine sweatsuits for chicks on the go.

Earlier, she tweeted,

VIDEOS: First Look At Gabby Union's "Being Mary Jane" + Miguel's "Candles In The Sun" Video

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 03:00 PM PST

 photo Being-Mary-Jane-Gabrielle-Union_zps1a36725c.jpg

We finally get to see Gabrielle Union in action in her brand new BET project, "Being Mary Jane."  Check out the super quick promo inside, plus Miguel's new socially conscious video for "Candles In The Sun."

It's almost here.  The Akil's newest BET creation starring Gabby Union is on its way.

Gabby told the media at a promo shoot months ago:

"Being Mary Jane" is basically about a television host, who has her own show, and how she balances her life. Between wanting to talk about hard hitting news and other stories, she shuffles through her own personal morals. It’s about her trying to stand up for what she believes in but also keeping her ratings. She also struggles with the idea of being raised with the same morals, values and opportunities, throughout her family and being the only one to make it. How does that change the family dynamic? Her family comes from the upper-middle class, but she is the only one out of her siblings that is doing well. Her lack of a love life and the poor choices that she has made are also explored.

Tika Sumpter, Omari Hardwick and plenty more also co-star in the pilot movie (that will possibly turn into a series).  We hear from those who attended the screening that it's great!

And in music videos:

"Adron" singer Miguel just dropped another video from his most recent album, Kaleidoscope Dream.  For his "Candles In the Sun" visuals, Miguel takes a look social, religous and political issues and expresses his thoughts in his own way. 

About his bold black & white video directed by Sarah McColgan, Miguel says:

“It’s so easy to ignore what’s right in front of us sometimes.  I wanted to create a song and visual that addressed my everyday concerns of life as I know it in the world that we live in.”

MORE DETAILS: Former New Birth Members Say Bishop Eddie Long KNOWINGLY Led Them Into A SHADY PONZI SCHEME

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 02:09 PM PST

 photo url-1-6.jpeg

Bishop Eddie Long is back in the headlines after several former New Birth members claim he knowingly led them into a ponzi scheme where they lost over a million bucks.   Find out more inside....

While Moses led his flock of Israelites out of Egypt.....Bishop Eddie Long allegedly led some members of his New Birth flock into financial ruin...knowingly!  

As we previously reported--In a lawsuit filed in Dekalb County state court last month, the Atlanta Journal Constitution says 12 former New Birth members claim they lost more than one million dollars investing in a ponzi scheme that was endorsed by Bishop Eddie Long.

But the shady part of the lawsuit is they alleged that the good Bishop knew it was a shady deal all along and he brought it to the church anyway.

Apparently, the Bishop's assistant received a phone call saying that Ephren W. Taylor (the self-professed “social capitalist”) shouldn't be trusted...but that didn't stop the Bishop from endorsing him.

“If Bishop Eddie Long hadn’t endorsed this they wouldn’t have invested,” plaintiffs attorney Jason Doss said.

Now get this...although Bishop Long didn't invest in the scheme, he encouraged members of the congregation to put their faith into the man whom he introduced as “friend (and) brother.”

SMH....we wonder what (kickback) Bishop Long gained from making that good faith introduction to the church?

During the suit's discovery process, the plantiffs happened upon an internal memo to Bishop Long from his assistant where an unidentified called said he “did not want the church to be taken advantage of.”

The caller then laid out Ephren's game plan saying he "...will issue promissory notes to the congregation which gives him legal authorization to do as he pleases. There will be no return on investment.”

And guess what....that's EXACTLY how it all went down!  And reportedly, Bishop Eddie Long was warned about this before he ever brought Brother Ephren into the church fold. SMH.

According to Channel 2 Action News, plaintiff Lillian Wells (who invested $122,000) said, “That was my everything, and that’s it, it’s gone.” She adds that Ephren claimed to be a self-made millionaire by the time he turned 16.

The Securities and Exchange Commission now has a civil case pending against Ephren, who’s alleged to have targeted more than 1,000 investors, mostly church members.  The money was spent to fund his lavish lifestyle AND his wife’s singing career.

The former members have named Bishop Long, Ephren Taylor and New Birth as defendants.  And if they win, it will be the second case the Bishop has lost against former members.  You'll recall, he reportedly paid off a few young male members who claim to have had "relations" with him.
 

In the name of sweet baby Jesus.....this is just messy.

 

 

Phaedra Calls Out Kenya Moore For Having A "Silicone Butt" + Kandi Burruss POSES IT UP With Fiance Todd...And Says He's NOT An Opportunist

Posted: 20 Feb 2013 01:32 PM PST

 photo phaedrakenya1_zps7cb31556.jpg

Housewife drama!  "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks is accusing co-star Kenya Moore of having a silicone ass.  But is it all because she's stil mad about that Stallion Booty workout DVD?  Deets inside, plus Kandi Burruss' new S2S cover with fiance Todd...and how they're blasting the "opprtunist" rumors...

Sounds like Phaedra is still salty about frenemy Kenya's "Stallion Booty DVD" that she's releasing after attempting to help Phaedra with her "Donkey Booty" DVD.

And despite Kenya saying her ASSets are au natural, Pha Pha's calling B.S.  She said in Us Weekly's newest issue:

“If you’re gonna sell a video talking about bottoms, you need to have one that’s homegrown.  I’ve never been altered by plastic surgery,” Phaedra says. “My butt is really my butt. [Kenya’s] is full of silicone!”

The former Miss USA's response in the mag:

“I’m not opposed to plastic surgery.  I’m just not a big fan — and I’m glad that I don’t need it.”

Snaps.

 

 photo Cover_March2013_zps4168567e.jpg

Look who just did a photoshoot together for S2S magazine's March 2013 issue.  It's Kandi & Todd.  And they're convincing the public that there's no opportunistic choices going down here.  They're also talking about considering a destination wedding...and testing out kandi's sex toy line.

 photo IMG_2204_zps543ecf2e.jpg

Kandi on Todd being called an opportunist

"I heard different people like Wendy Williams trying to say he was an opportunist, but I was trying to figure out, “What does she mean by that?” Todd makes good money doing what he does, and he also has a lot of different business ventures going on outside of that. And he did not want to be on TV or anything.  I think, for AJ, it was more about if people can't figure out how you make your money, then they always try to say, “Oh, you must not have any.” But you can clearly see that Todd is working. He does well, so no need to question it."

Kandi on their bedroom behavior

"I have to test [the Bedroom Kandi products] out to make sure they work right for everybody else."

On living single:
“I’m single and happy. I have a great relationship with both of my children’s fathers… If you catch me with either of them, we are not together— we are just being good parents. All I’m focused on right now is music and my kids.”

Elsewhere in the issue, legendary frontman of The Gap Band, Charlie Wilson (who's releasing his sixth solo album, Love, Charlie) talks about beating cancer and drug addiction.

Get ready to see the real Michelle Williams.  The Destiny's Child singer turned Fela! star just nabbed a brand new reality show called "My Sister's Keeper."

It was just announced today that eOne studios will be producing "My Sister's Keeper," a reality show all about the lives of Michelle and her sisters and the pressures of releasing a new solo album though eOne Music.  No word on the exact network this will appear on just yet, but it looks like TVOne or WeTV could be two of the main possibilities.

"Working together on my new gospel album and television series, I am excited to share with everyone a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and journey of recording for the album, performing, fun family times and other unforgettable experiences out together with my dear sisters."

The series' Executive producers include Tara Long, Phil Thornton and Jeff Hevert on behalf of eOne as well as Michelle Williams and John Dee Hammond.

Also, Michelle's upcoming third gospel album is due to be released in Summer 2013, with the first single coming soon.

SPORTS: LeBron James' INNER CIRCLE Alleges Lil' Wayne Is JEALOUS And Might Be OBSESSED With The Baller

A few of LeBron James' closest friends have chimed in about what really set Lil' Wayne off during All-Star Weekend and it doesn't have anything to do with an NBA ban!  Get the deets on what LeBron's friends call Weezy's stalker-like activities inside...

 

Earlier this week, we showed you video of Lil' Wayne getting all up in his feelings about the way the Miami Heat's starting lineup recently treated him and how they (along with the NBA) had banned him from NBA events.  

After Weezy's rant this weekend, which included a nasty revelation about Chris Bosh's wife Adrienne went viral, the NBA's Senior Director of Basketball Communications, Mark Broussard, spoke to TMZ and said Wayne's claims about his NBA ban had "no truth at all."  And P.S......the Heat says that Wayne left the game voluntarily.  So.....if the NBA didn't ban Weezy from their events and Weezy left voluntarily.....what the hell was that outburst about?

A source from LeBron James' inner circle revealed to HH365 a few alleged key inside facts that shed a light on the situation.  The gist is this....hardcore gangstas don't handle rejection well.

We've covered several Two Kings events held by LeBron and Jay-Z and friends of Bron seem to think Weezy was angling for that same type of friendship with the baller.  Knowing this, think about all the times we've seen Weezy spotted courtside at the Heat games in Miami.  

Sure...one could say he is just a Miami Heat fan but the source also revealed that Weezy--who is suddenly a hardcore Laker fan--has flooded LeBron with "invites for concert appearances, birthday parties and video sessions."  And LeBron always turned him down.   “LeBron is extremely busy, he respects Lil Wayne and his peers in the entertainment industry, but he just doesn’t like to be bothered like that.” OUCH.

The source thinks that Lil' Wayne's ego was bruised by the rejection so now he's resorting to childish temper tantrums.  “It’s an unhealthy obsession.” 

SMH.....Weezy likely has a fawning entourage who cater to his every whim...laugh at every joke...and co-sign every lyric.  So the thought of being rejected by a big celebrity must not sit very well with him.  But damn....did he have to go in on Adrienne like that?
