Porsha Williams Explains How "High Caliber Men" Try To Get At Her...And Why She's Already Dating

In today's example of why there are plenty of men--even those of "high caliber"--who love a trophy chick, Porsha Williams is dishing about re-entering the dating scene.  And nope, her lack of common sense and intelligence don't seem to matter for some men.

 

Deets inside...

Who needs intelligence or the ability to actually have a job....when you can work a weave and a beat face like nobody's business. The pretty & bubbly Porsha Williams of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" dished to ABC News Radio Online that she's been back on the dating scene since the month after her divorce from Kordell Stewart was finalized. 

She's also talking about why she's still ready to be someone's wife--as long as he's attractive and wants to be married--and she's fielding dating offers that come through her publicist and manager.  We can only wonder if any of these men sent her an Underground Railroad For Dummies book as well.

Here are the highlights:

On Why She Decided to Date One Month After Divorce Finalized:
"Well I'm a woman and the heart it loves hard and you can't just snap your fingers and tell it to stop caring for somebody. I definitely care for anybody's well being that I dated. But as far as me holding onto that and it hindering new love in my life, I don't think so."

On Men Contacting Her Through Her Manager and Publicist for Dates:
"Men of high caliber they just don't pick up the phone and call you. They have a way of letting you know that they're your secret admirers and I'm enjoying it. Some of them are special."

What She Looks for in a Man to Date:
"The next boyfriend definitely needs to be husband material because I am a hopeless romantic so I definitely want to get married again. I need God to tell me that he's the one and I'm going to take my time until I get that; until it has resonated in my soul. He needs to be handsome. He needs to be God-fearing. He needs to be about family. It's a list of things. I'm also willing to compromise, but at this point in my life I want it all and I'm not gonna settle.

Why She Changed Her Name Back to Williams After Initially Wanting to Keep Stewart:
"I am officially Porsha Williams. I was holding onto something and I really can't explain to you what it was. But just as a woman we have the right to change our minds. I just want to leave my own legacy and I want to build up who I am, and be able to leave that with that name Williams

 

Good luck Porsha!  We know she means well...

Radar Online has confirmed that "DWTS" winner and former soap actor J.R. Martinez has split with Diana Gonzalez-Jones.  You'll recall that the couple gave birth to daughter Lauryn Anabelle Martinez, just 18-months ago, but their relationship could not survive. His rep confirmed the news with the following statement on his behalf,  “Diana Gonzalez-Jones and I have ended our relationship. However, we are committed to working together to raise our daughter in a healthy and happy environment.”

Recently, J.R. posted a message on Facebook about "moving on" saying, “People change its a part of life, but sometimes its easier to hold on to the memories of who they were rather then to realize who they have become.”

We wish J.R. and Diana well as they continue to co-parent.

The Carters recently celebrated the second birthday of Blue Ivy Carter while in Miami, FL.  See pics inside.....

 photo beyflor4.jpg

Blue Ivy Carter and her parents, Jay-Z & Beyonce (atop), were spotted leaving Joey's restaurant in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, where they had lunch a few days ago. The family dined on two pizzas and two salads.

Beyonce paid homage to her hit song "Drunk In Love" in a "Surfboard" Crew Neck Sweatshirt which she paired with a Dsquared2 Quebec Bag, an All Saints Valtari Necklace and Azzedine Alaia Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boots.

Earlier in the day, the family celebrated Blue Ivy's at the Miami Zoo where the Carters rented out Jungle Island, a botanical bird sanctuary, wildlife habitat, and botanical garden. You'll recall that Jay posted a tribute to Blue on his website a few days ago too.  And Mama bey created a new Tumblr for Blue's b0day so fans could submit their own messages.

On a side note, Black Twitter has been dragging the Carters because of Blue Ivy's hair.  In case you forgot....she's two.  And 2-year-olds she be as wild and free as they want to be--because it's gonna end up like that at the end of the day anyway.  They're 2 year olds!  Every piece of them is beautiful no matter what.

Sesali Bowen at Feministing blog asker readers "Do we really think that the Carter’s aren’t taking care of their daughter’s hair, even if it’s not styled in the way we would like?" and questioned why so many people are up in arms and what deeper issues it raises about Black women and hair.  Agreed.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Steve and Marjorie Harvey opened up to ESSENCE about their marriage and creating a love that lasts.  More inside.....

The February 2014 cover of ESSENCE Magazine features successful host (The Steve Harvey Morning Show; Family Feud; The Steve Harvey Show) and author Steve Harvey and his wife of seven years Marjorie Harvey.  

While we've followed Steve and his romantic journey (which includes two ex-wives and a prolonged court battle with ex-Mary Harvey), it seems like THIS  time...it's going to last.   Because the twosome seem to have all kinds of knowledge on how they'll make it happen.

Inside the issue, the couple dish on creating a love that lasts and Steve opens up about changing his life since meeting Marjorie.  He said,  "Everything I have...is because of this girl right here." 

Inside, they share highlights from their love story:

On meeting at a Memphis comedy club:

Steve said he stood on stage and said, "I don't know who you are but I'm going to marry you." Marjorie's said, "I knew he was The One shortly after I started dated him...but then he just left. Disappeared."

Steve on working on himself BEFORE committing to Marjorie:

"Before a man can be of use to a woman...he's got to know who he is, what he does and how much he's going to make."

Steve on how EVERY great man has a woman:

"Every great man has a woman... I didn't say successful man, I said great man. Yeah, maybe you're successful if you sign a $16 million NBA contract. But greatness is when you're the husband and father you're supposed to be. When everyone surrounding you looks up to you, depends on you, and you come through for them. That's greatness.

Do you think Dr. Martin Luther King was anything without Coretta? You take Michelle out of Barack Obama's equation, and he is a whole other dude out there."

 

The February 2014 issue of ESSENCE hit newsstands January 10th.

 

Singer Speaks On Jennifer Hudson Getting Him KICKED OUT The People's Choice Awards!

Jennifer Hudson may have copped the Favorite Humanitarian Award at Wednesday night's People's Choice Awards, but singer Tionne, also known as Lord Kraven, says she was FAR from acting the part that night.  Check out the drama that went down off camera when she had the singer KICKED OUT of the Awards show!

Drama!  Reports hit the net yesterday that superstar Jennifer Hudson had an ex-friend kicked out of the People's Choice Awards this week.  A singer, who was also close friends with Jenny until recently, Lord Kraven was sitting front row when Jennifer walked into the Nokia Theater Wednesday night.  But when she spotted him, she reportedly threatened producers saying either HE needs to leave...or SHE'S leaving.

 photo 936032_10201280126100143_1979795363_n_zpsaf103340.jpg

Needless to say, Kraven (pictured above) was promptly escorted OUT.  Security and LAPD had to get involved and it caused lots of ruckus outside the arena.  And Jennifer, her fiance David, and her sister Julia took their own seats on the front row:

 photo JenniferHudsonBackstageAudiencePeopleaXHPA74Xt_pl_zps037cfc1e.jpg

 

What caused all this drama?  Kraven tells TheYBF.com today that the story is indeed 100% true, and he wants to know why Jennifer is suddenly being such a diva as well.

He also took to his social media once the story went public saying: "OMG! I can't believe THIS! JENNIFER HUDSON, look what YOU HAVE CREATED! This is absolutely ridiculous! I am..."

And then after digging into the possible things that could have set Jennifer off...he posted this interview with HLN asking if THIS is what she was all up in arms about:

 

Jennifer keeps a very close circle of friends.  So when her then-friend Lord Kraven went on HLN during the trial of William Balfur (the man convicted of murdering her mother, brother and nephew) to talk about how Jennifer would be strong enough to make it through it all, it's possible she wasn't feeling him talking about her personal issues on national television.

No word on if this is the exact cause, but it looks very possible.

Who knew Jenny was having folks kicked out of Award shows....

Newlyweds Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon dished on honeymoon plans and their strained relationship with Cissy Houston in a new interview.  Watch the clip inside...

During a candid street interview with TMZ, Bobbi Kristina and Nick Gordon confirmed their recent nuptials and revealed that they've repaired their relationship with Cissy Houston.

Although Cissy's controversial open letter slammed Bobbi and Nick's relationship a few months ago, the couple said that Cissy has given them her "blessing."  Oh?

Bobbi also said her mom, Whitney Houston, would have been thrilled that she and Nick married. "This is exactly what she wanted."  Oh?

 photo ScreenShot2014-01-11at93227AM_zps65f6223c.png

Oddly, in both the interview and on Twitter, Bobbi Kris alludes to them having an "official" ceremony before God soon.  She doesn't say if they've already gone to the Justice of the Peace or not.  But...it seems they would have had to in order to be "married" currently.

The couple will head to Fiji for their honeymoon, according to them.

Congrats.  Watch the interview here.

 

UPDATE (January 12, 2014):

1.  TMZ reports that sources close to Cissy Houston say she DID NOT give the couple her "blessing" and is pretty upset that they married.  Story.

'When I learned Steve McQueen was directing and Brad Pitt was producing, I thought, Well, this is huge.

'I had no expectation of getting the role at all; it was just too out there for me to think I had a chance.

'So I approached the audition like a rehearsal. It was my chance to have that role for 10 minutes, and I owned it. Then I got the part and the panic began.'

 

And in the February 2014 issue of ELLE UK, she's sitting pretty for her feature:

LeBron James posted a picture of a SUPER FAN who tattooed the Heat champ's entire FACE on his leg.  LeBron said he didn't know if he should feel flattered.....or frightened. 

“My guy Shane Battier said he was out somewhere and a guy ran up to him to show him this tatted on his leg. I really don’t know how I’m suppose to feel about it. Lol. Ummm I guess that’s pretty cool/creepy/awesome all the same time!”

Scary ish.

In other LeBron news, the Miami Heat have been struggling on the court lately.  This past week, they were beaten by both NY teams.  They lost to the Brooklyn Nets (95 - 104) and the NY Kicks (92 - 102).  Womps.

Tia & Tamera Mowry Get Tearful About Racist Commentary On Their Marriages

Tia & Tamera Mowry have been the sisters we grew up with from their "Full House" days to "Sister Sister" to those cutesy double-trouble style movies....and now we see their own marriages and kids on thier hit reality show "Tia & Tamera".  But not everyone is basking in the sweetness and love they constantly seem to give.  Check out what the twins say about the extremely painful commentary they receive about their "interracial" marriages...

Friday night on OWN's "Where Are The Now?", bi-racial beauties Tia Mowry Hardrict and Tamera Mowry Housley were their usual emotionally transparent selves (and this is why we love them) about an issue they both face in different ways.

Ever since Tamera became engaged to her FOX News correspondent husband Adam Housley, the two have faced an onslaught of racist assaults about their union.  And it seems the racist comments about her being his black wife "who used to cost a white man $300" are becoming more painful for "The Real" host.   Not to mention comments about her now being less of a black woman.  The things people say are quite unfathomable.

Interestingly, "Instant Mom" star Tia, who is married to black actor Cory Hardrict, says she faces racist remarks in the opposite way. People tell her that her sister married "right"...since she married a white man.

Watch the emotional breakdown below.  And hopefully, more people will become aware of how hurtful their criticisms can be when a couple simply is living a life of love.

She posted a new pic that hinted at a new "unspecified" project.  She tweeted, "Galliano attitude. Los Angeles yesterday headed to a top secret mission".

 

Also coming to the movies....

12 Years A Slave star Lupita Nyong'o teamed with Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson for Non-Stop (February 28th).  Here's the synopsis:

 "U.S. federal air marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) receives a series of threatening text messages, stating unambiguously that a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes unless, and until, $150 million is transferred into a secret bank account. When the bank account is discovered to be under Marks' name and a bomb is found aboard the plane, Marks is branded as a hijacker"

Looks interesting....

Rapper The Game & His Hot Assistant LoLo Gearing Up For "Love & Hip Hop: LA"?!

Looks like Mona Scott Young may have found her "big name star" for the "Love & Hip Hop: LA" spinoff.  Look who took a meeting for the upcoming show...and we're sure the obligatory love triangle is on deck too....

Rapper The Game posted a pic of a big meeting taking place with him, his hot assistant LoLo (also known as LeauxSteez) and a group of others.  He hashtag'd LAHH, so it looks like some talks around the upcoming spinoff are going down.

Previously, it was reported Mona couldn't find that one big name star to headline...because RayJ was tied up on the Oxygen network with the Bad girls Club.  Womp.

So Game may be taking his reality show talents from his own "Married To The Game" VH1 show....over to a "LAHH" production.  And based on the Instagram drama we've seen over the last several months, he'll be bringing his assistant--who many think is his new (side?) chick--along too.

LoLo was at the meeting as well.  And rumors were poppin' this past summer that she was indeed his new piece.  And it doesn't help that he and his on again off again fiancee and "Married To The Game" co-star Tiffney Cambridge are rarely seen together.  And LoLo was constantly snapped by Game's side in the club, out and about, everywhere.  And let's just say she doesn't look or dress like the usual assistant.

So in true "LAHH" fashion, it looks like this could be a love triangle brewing.

Talk about looking fresh off the runway!  12 Years A Slave star Lupita Nyong'o stunned on tonight's 2014 Golden Globes red carpet.  Check out the slayage inside....

We're already prepared to name this YBF chick the Best Dressed of the Night.  Lupita Nyong'o hit her very first Golden Globes in a bold red caped creation by Ralph Lauren.  And she nailed it:

With a floor length curve hugging sheath and cape-like off the shoulder floor length sleeves, the Best Supporting Actress In A Motion Picture nominee kept it simple yet totally chic.  And we're loving that she chose matching red shoes for a monochromatic look.

Lupita made her way to the Beverly Hilton Hotel with her natural 'do complete with a chic side part.  And topped off her look with Fred Leighton jewels and a sleek gold clutch.  Fabulous!

Good luck Lupita!

Proud Mama alert!  "Scandal" star Kerry Washington finally confirmed to the world that she has a baby on the way.  We've known for months (and we called it first!), and now we get to see the fabulous actress in all her mommy-to-be-glow-fabulousness.

 

Pics inside...

 

Our fave Gladiator popped up on tonight's 2014 Golden Globes red carpet with a much rounder tummy on display.  And since she could no longer hide it, Kerry Washington flaunted that bump in a white Balenciaga gown.  And looked totally beautiful while doing so.

Kerry told Ryan Seacrest her new baby bump is her newest accessory.  And she posed it up solo on the carpet holding her tummy:

The Best Actress in a TV Series Drama nominee accented her look with a vintage Movado watch and a white box clutch.

Gorge!  Good luck Kerry!

While Paula Patton gets dragged on social media with folks saying she looks like everything from an egg white omelet to a tampon...(mostly) everyone else is getting rave reviews.  Check out the red carpet coverage of the YBF celebs at tonight's 2014 Golden Globes inside...

 

Paula Patton made sure to take a risk tonight on the red carpet of the 2014 Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton:

We're kinda torn on this white dramatic Stephane Rolland gown with serious rough edged ruffleage.  She paired her look with matching white platform Charlotte Olympia heels.  But it seems plenty of people on social media have already ruled this one a FAIL. 

We will say, we're loving her hair and makeup.  And she seemed much more sober than usual.  That's a WIN for us.

Zoe Saldana flaunted that fresh face we've come to love:

And she rocked an interesting jewel covered Prabal Gurung gown that Prabal himself, since he's one of her besties, made specifically for her. Kinda wish it would have gotten tossed in the old Christmas tree ornament box.

 

Lupita Nyong'o had our fave look of the night in bright red Ralph Lauren.
