Kandi Burruss stopped by "Bethenny" where she and Mama Joyce shared their views about her pending nuptials.  Watch the clips inside and see LeToya Luckett's new hairdo and what she said about Beyonce and Kelly on "Wendy."

"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss will appear on "Bethenny" tomorrow, discussing her plans to walk down the aisle with Todd Tucker and responding to critics (who've called him an opportunist).

 "Me personally, I am a hustler. I like a person with a hustler mentality that you are going to get out there and make things happen because I see so many people date somebody because they think oh he has money or whatever and then he loses the money and doesn't know how to get it back. You have to be a hustler to get the money again and again and again. When I met Todd he was already doing well for himself when we met each other. It really bothers me when people try to play him that he's just some dude off the street who didn't have a job or anything like that, he's doing well before I met him."

Later on, Mama Joyce called into the program and shared her own thoughts about Kandi and her love of "hustlers."

"Well I've decided to let Kandi do Kandi. Kandi says she likes a hustler but I just don't want someone hustling her."

Kandi's "Bethenny" appearance airs on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014

Also on television:

"Single Ladies" star LeToya Luckett appeared on "Wendy" today where she debuted new shorter hairdo.  When Wendy asked about the new look, she said, "I knew it was time for a change."  

While remaining coy about dating, LeToya said she wants to be married (Slim Thug is the last relationship she was public with) and is waiting on God to send her the right man.  Y'all know Wendy asked if she's having sex (awwwkward!), and Toya revealed it's definitely been a while.

Also, she told Wendy that she called Kelly Rowland to congratulate her on her engagement (she doesn't know if she'll be in the wedding though) and she's she still cool with Beyonce.

She says her upcoming album Until Then will be available later this year.

LIVIN' A LIE?! Porsha Williams Set To Get WAGES GARNISHED?! + She's Behind Almost $18,000 In Rent!

Porsha Williams is living one life in front of the Bravo cameras....and apparently...living a whole other when the cameras stop rolling.  Check out why she's about to get her wages garnished and how she's reportedly not paying her bills inside....

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams just had papers served against her homeowner's association in Atlanta. 

Apparently, she's been living in a hi-rise condo (even though she is seen "living in" an 8,000 sqft mansion on the show).  And she has allegedly failed to pay her homeowner's fees...to the tune of $17,959!  So the homeowner's association is about to try to garnish her Bravo wages!

Not sure how long she hasn't been paying since homeowners fees USUALLY run less $2000 a month, depending on where you live.

TMZ reports:

Porsha lived in a high-rise condo complex in Atlanta ... and she's fallen behind on her homeowner's dues -- to the tune of $17,959!

Now the homeowner's association has filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- requesting that her bank account be frozen and the money that goes in gets diverted to pay her homeowner's bills. Fact is ... the only real money she gets is from 'RHOA.'

Porsha has been strapped for cash lately ... we're told she's getting $5K a month in spousal support from Kordell Stewart, but apparently that's not nearly enough to make ends meet.

We're told Porsha is living with her mom now. At least the price is right.

This is all very interesting.  On the show, we're made to believe Porsha went straight from ex-husband Kordell Stewart's mansion to her mama's house to the 8,000 sqft house (that we're still confused on how she's affording it) we see her in this season.  So where did this condo come from?

Maybe she copped her own condo AFTER this season wrapped...who knows.  But the fact she allegedly isn't paying her bills, but is constantly trying to make us believe she's still living a luxe life....is so Bravo.

Oh Porsha....

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Christopher Williams DENIES Being Married + Cassie REVEALS Her Cuddly PRESENT From Diddy

Eyebrows were raised on "RHOA" when Kenya Moore said Christopher Williams and his brown tooth deny being married to Natalie...and now there's evidence! Watch Chris confirm being "single" inside and see what Diddy recently bought for Cassie.
 

Some "RHOA" fans may think Miss USA Kenya Moore was shady for questioning the marriage of newbies Natalie and R&B singer Christopher Willaims on last nught's episode of "RHOA", but now there's a tape to back up her claims.  She tweeted, 

 photo kemnysdkfkf.png

At the (:35) mark, Christopher (the interview was recorded in June 2013) is asked if he's married and he confirms that he's "Not Married".  He added that he has "No Comment" on relationships.

But...around the (3:55) mark, he begins speaking about a "real special" person in his life.  He says she's "loyal" and they eat flaxseed pizza and raw foods together.  We guess that "loyal" chick is Natalie...who says they've been together for around 18 years. However, Natalie told the ladies that she and Chrisyopher ELOPED close to 18 years ago.

 

Well.....Kenya (who tweeted this video out) told the truth. She was still messy as hell though...  

 

On Instagram.......

Cassie posted a pic of Diddy's cute gift to her.  She captioned"A new baby from my love ️ we call him #BamBam #yesimpretendingtosleepbecauseheneededto"  

Hmmm....we wonder if Bam Bam will keep Cassie pacified or if she's been pushing for kids/marriage?

LeBron James thought he was simply singing the praises of men who have the priviledge of having a daughter...but the IG pic he uploaded to go along with his praises....made things a bit awkward.

 

Check it out inside...

Bron Bron posted a pic yesterday with teammate Chris Bosh's daughter, Trinity, after the Miami Heat game against Boston.  And it seems the father of two boys is itching for a girl.  He said:

OMG I NEED A DAUGHTER!! @chrisbosh I'm too jealous of u dude! She's amazing. #DaddysLilGirl

Well that's sweet.  But if you look closely at the above pic, you'll see why tons of his IG followers urged him to reconsider.  Trinity unintentionally had her hand placed in an awkward spot....and accompanied with that caption....yeah, awkward.

Not sure how Bron didn't notice this before posting.  But he took it down and reposted a cropped version:

Friends don't let friends post Instagram fails...

More Details On Young Jeezy's LATEST Arrest + Soulja Boy ARRESTED + Eddie Murphy Says He's NOT Comedian Brando Murphy's Pappy!

For the second time in three weeks, rapper Young Jeezy was arrested (he turned himself in a few weeks ago on allegations he severely beat his teenaged son).

 

Get the deets inside, plus the latest person who is claiming that Eddie Murphy is his daddy....

Alpharetta police spokesman, George Gordon, has confirmed that Jay Wayne Jenkins (Young Jeezy) was arrested and charged Tuesday with obstruction.  Apparently, dude cursed at officers and refused to provide his name.

Here's what Gordon told Channel 2 Action News what went down: Police were responding to a security alarm going off at an Alpharetta townhouse.  Once cops arrived, no one answered the front door...but he cops spotted Jeezy walking out of the back door.

When cops approached him, Jeezy reportedly said it was his girlfriend's home, and he refused to give his name or ID.  He reportedly then proceeded to curse at the officers.

Jeezy was then booked into the Fulton County jail and released later on $1,000 bond.  He's got to face the judge on January 29th for an arraignment hearing.  And the drama with his teenaged son and his son's mother is still pending. 

 

 photo SouljaBoySouljaBoyCelebratesBirthdayxUff3AX1Exnl_zps04453f2a.jpg

In other arrest news, Soulja Boy was just cuffed due to a possession of a loaded weapon charge.  Here's what the report states:

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the 23-year-old rapper was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over in the San Fernando Valley for running a stop sign early Wednesday morning.

During the stop, cops say they noticed that Soulja was in possession of a loaded gun -- and arrested him on the stop.

Soulja was hauled to a nearby jail -- he's currently being booked.

So you're just riding around with a loaded gun...illegally?  Why? Especially when you're constantly flashing how many millions you supposedly have all over Instagram.  Surely some of that cash could have been used to hire a few bodyguards to carry for you.

We're convinced these rappers are just bored...and trying way too hard to keep it real.  Fall back son.

In other foolish news, a comedian named Brando Murphy is claiming that Eddie Murphy is his daddy....and Eddie aint having it. 

Now we all know Eddie isn't the most do-right-by-my-out-of-wedlock-kids guy (i.e., Angel Iris Murphy), but this Brando guy seems to have a couple screws loose.

He may look a lot like Eddie...and his impersonation of his maybe-daddy is spot on....but the rest of the situation is quite foolish.  TMZ reports Brando did the following as well:

-- Changed his last name to Murphy
-- Performing with Richard Pryor's son, Mason, in the "Sons of Comedy" tour.
-- Showing up at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Eddie frequents and screaming, "My father won't talk to me!"

Eddie's lawyers fired off a letter to Brando saying he must stop publicly saying Eddie is his pappy (Brando even advertised being his son on a sandwich board that promoted an upcoming appearance).

And then there's this:

Brando is not backing down, sending his own threatening letter to Eddie, insisting he's never presented himself as Eddie's son and calling Eddie's accusations "vile, base, contemptible, miserable, wretched and loathsome."

Brando says he'll sue Eddie for defamation if he continues what he calls a campaign of intimidation.

Huh? Check out his recent stand-up routine for yourself below:

"RHOA" star Kenya Moore appeared on "Arsenio" last night where she dished on her seven marriage proposals, a trip to the sperm bank and questioned Apollo Nida's infidelity. See the clips inside....

 photo 12085992986_b1b19f6160_o.jpg

Last night, The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kenya Moore joined Arsenio Hall looking pretty damn good.  Then she revealed she's passed up seven marriage proposals and will consider having a baby via IVF (unless she marries).

She also took a few jabs and Phaedra and Apollo for slandering her over this season's "texting" storyline.  It wouldn't be a Kenya Moore interview if she didn't.  She said on the show last night:

"After we didn't work together, because they didn't want to pay me, me and his wife (Phaedra Parks) fell out. Months later he sent me a text and it was a friendly text, but he initiated that text, I want to be perfectly clear. However, when I responded, even though it was chaste, that opened the door for all the other B.S. that they're now spreading about me. Saying I met him in L.A....That never happened. I've never seen him outside of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" taping. Ever. So that's a complete lie.

I just have to say that any woman who would believe that lie, especially a woman who is supposed to be an attorney, has to be the dumbest attorney I've ever seen in my life. To believe a story like that without any facts. To get on television and slander me outright, that's hitting well below the belt and she'll pay for that."

 

Kenya also took a stab at Apollo's "infidelity" saying, "We all know his reputation around Atlanta – he likes his extra-curricular activities...."

Bloop.

Yesterday, we told you about Porsha Williams living one life in front of the Bravo cameras and what was REALLY going on behind the scenes...and now there are court documents to back it up.

Radar Online has published documents from the lawsuit The Grandview Condominium Association filed in 2012 for falling behind on her homeowner’s dues.  We're still unclear when she purchased this condo and/or lived in it.

On Jan. 13, 2014 a judge signed off on court documents allowing SunTrust Bank to garnish Porsha's bank account on behalf of the Grandview Condominium Association.

Over on Instagram (above), Porsha doesn't seem bothered that her financial situation has gone public.  She posted a pic from inside her bedroom/closet (with strategically placed Louis Vuitton items on full display) with the caption,

"This is what I do when I'm supposed to be cleaning room and closet sit on floor & tweet & watch youtube & IG back and forth #shortattentionspan #ineedhelp @lodwill to busy ... #gonnabeinhereallday ugh oh well y'all keep Posting . lol"

 

Well....at least the closet looks like it's spacious.  It appears to be the same house she moved into in NeNe's neighborhood....but it hasn't been confirmed.

Mister Cee Tells All (Kinda) In GQ About His Male Prostitute Solicitation Saga -- "I Drowned Myself In Fanta Orange Soda....And I'm NOT Gay!"

Calvin Lebrun, aka Mister Cee of Hot 97, is back in the media thanks to his newest feature with GQ magazine.  Check out the shocking quotes Cee had to say about his prostitution related arrests, how orange soda almost killed him, and why he still maintains he is not a gay man....

While he still is searching for those appropriate terms for men dressed as women and fellatio...Mister Cee is still trying to convince the world that even though he had sex with male prostitutes, and went to jail for the prostitution solicitation, he is not gay.

After he resigned for less than a day this past September after his LATEST run-in with prostitution solicitation, Mister Cee has been back on the air.  He's back to his mostly normal routine, and it seems his on-air expose with program director Ebro Darden didn't do much for Cee's delusion.

Cee and his solicitation were exposed by a drag queen named Bimbo Winehouse via Youtube video.  And Cee refused to admit that he attempted to have sex with another man.

And now, in the new issue of GQ magazine, we're getting even more insight into Cee's detrimental sex addiction and how he views himself.  This includes dude's belief that it's orange soda...not male prostitution or crazy amounts of sex with crazy amounts of women...that has caused his downfall.

 photo mister-cee-gq-magazine-january-2014-hip-hop-dj-atlanta-music-02_zps4192e804.jpg

Here's an excerpt about how his sexual addiction started and where his distrust of women originated (thanks to his girlfriend not trusting him due to his whore-ish ways):

On the Kane tours, he says, he was “fucking everything in sight.” The whole time he had a steady girlfriend, too. Once, he says, coming off tour, he gave her gonorrhea. “It was the most horrible thing I ever did to a woman in my life,” Cee says. She called him last year, after Cee had a run-in with the guy she was dating, just to tell him off again. “I mean, cursed me out, just called me all types of faggots and homos.”

And then there was one last great love, who didn't trust him and so broke his heart. This was around 2000. She became suspicious about what he did when she wasn't around, and she started calling other women in Cee's life—friends, co-workers, whomever—to vent her suspicions: “She was the last woman that I could really, fully, 200 percent trust. After me and her broke up, it just got harder for me to trust women.” It wasn't misogyny, exactly—or maybe it was. Either way, it was the end of any real intimacy in Cee's life.

He was in strip clubs a lot, he says, at the end of that relationship. “And I started tricking in the strip clubs. I don't know if you know what tricking is—you're taking [the girls] out the club”—literally right outside the club—“and you're having sex with them.” He'd do it in places where he wasn't liable to be recognized, usually spots around downtown Manhattan “where white guys was going,” he says.

An excerpt on how his sexual relations with males (transsexuals/drag queens/etc.) began, and why it wasn't just a long-held fantasy:

He never really asked himself why he was doing it and still can't entirely explain why he was drawn to this specific, highly particular thing. This conversation we're having right now, over shrimp and fried rice, is only the second or third time he's ever actually tried to put it into words. Certainly it's the first time he's told the story to a reporter. “The best way I can explain it is that I was so knee-deep into doing it that it became a part of me,” he says.

“It's also the rush of: Get horny, A and B—you know, one plus one equals two. You get horny, go out, go get your shit off. It became a part of my routine. Even though I was fearful, there was a part of me that felt invincible, too.”

On how he couldn't handle the fall-out from being caught and put on blast for soliciting male prostitutes:

The day the article came out, Cee says, he felt like an actual dead person. “Literally dead, in the casket, in the coffin.” In his mind, a whole funeral scene unfolded: who came and didn't come, who was mourning, who was laughing from the back of the pews.

He slept a lot after that, he says. Drank so much soda he almost lost his sight. “I would buy two-liter Fanta Orange, two-liter Sprite, two-liter root beer—and I live by myself—just guzzling them. That's how I was getting through my pain, fucking going to sleep and drinking soda. And I'm not even a soda drinker. I drunk so much soda to the point where my diabetes—my sugar level went so high, I started getting blind.”

When asked point blank if he is gay--after three arrests involving male prostitutes and videos (that he admits to):

“Absolutely not. And it's nothing—it's no offense to transgender women, but I only get with transgender women for one thing and one thing only, and that's for oral sex. Like I said: I never had sex with a man. I never had sex with a transgender woman.”

Seems like he's still splitting hair with definitions of sex and gender.  But that's his story and he's sticking to it.

Check out the full article HERE where he talks about making amends with his loved ones, lying to his therapists, and more.

Chris Paul & Kendrick Lamar Talk Competition & Negative Influences In "ESPN The Magazine" + Will & Jada Pinkett Smith & Jay-Z PRODUCING New HBO Comedy Series

Kendrick Lamar and Chris Paul teamed up for an interview with ESPN The Magazine.  See highlights inside and get the latest on what Will& Jada Smith and Jay Z are producing for HBO.

 

Hitting newsstands on Friday, rapper Kendrick Lamar and LA Clippers baller Chris Paul sat down with ESPN The Magazine‘s Music Issue. Inside, Kendrick and Lamar (who met over Twitter) carried on a discussion about the parallels between music and sports.  Here are the highlights:

How have you sidestepped the land mines in your fields?
Lamar: The negative influences, the drinking and smoking, you're around it every day. But that doesn't entice me. You do it, and you think it's cool because your boys are doing it, so you're a follower. I reached a point in my life where I wanted to be a leader. If this stuff don't entice me, why am I following you? Once I looked in the mirror and decided this is who I am, and I'm not scared of who I am, and I'm not scared that I can't be like you, and I'm good with just doing me, that's when I found myself, as a man.
Paul: Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father. What I do for a living, a lot of people didn't have that. And like Kendrick's saying, I learned not to give in to peer pressure. You think those people are your friends, but I think they see it as a weakness. If you don't give in that first time, that second time, not only will they leave you alone, but they'll realize how strong you are. You know, I'm a little brother. I've always been small.(5) People have said I have a Napoleon complex. But I've always had to fight for everything that I have.
Lamar: That's what makes the relationship between sports and music so cool. At the end of the day, what's most important is that these two kids who kept on grinding super hard are coming together. And that shows the next little kid in the neighborhood, if Chris and Kendrick can do it, I can do it.
Paul: That's the other side of the business relationship: Genuine friendship has to be there too. I mean, my brother is my ace, my wife is my wife, but some of the things I go through, they can't understand. That's where this relationship with Kendrick initially comes from -- you see somebody just like you who overcame hard times and strives to be the greatest in their field.

Is competition as important to you as it is to Chris' day job?
Lamar: It's very important. It only helps the craft. If you're making good music, I want to make good music too. I want to be right there at that level. If you always have this competitive nature, as far as upping our game, the people will always be happy. The music will live forever.
Paul: When I heard that verse, I immediately texted him and told him how crazy it was. [Laughs] But like he said, competition is what keeps you going. When I played against Steve Nash the first time, the night before, I couldn't sleep. He'd just won MVP, and I couldn't wait to compete against him. Now, it's funny, I'm nine years into the league, and there are so many great young point guards in our league. They're coming for me like I was going for Nash. It's competition -- it's why we do this.

Fans can see the love between the two lifelong besties, who took a rumored break from their friendship a few months ago, before reuniting in Cape Town last year (e.g they SUPPOSEDLY stopped following each other on social media).  But they didn't miss a step and neither admit to a break.

The chick who went on a "Ride Along" with Justin Bieber has an interesting "Hollywood" resume of dudes that include Lil Twist and NFL star DeSean Jackson. More inside.....

 

Shortly before Justin Bieber got arrested, the girlfriend (or recent ex) of an NFL baller and a rapper--Justin's bestie actually-- Chantel Jeffries tweeted, "Something about the shock factor." Well...that was an understatement.

If Chantel craves the spotlight, she hit the jackpot this morning.  Now that Justin is finally behind bars, folks are scrambling to get more deets on the semi-Kim K-clone who went on a "Ride Along" with Justin before he was busted for drag-racing against Def Jam recording artist Khalil Sharief (above).  

Earlier in the evening, Justin and Chantel partied together at SET nightclub in Miami with Justin tweeting "@chanteljeffries taking me for a ride in the lambo."  Oh?  That pass-the-chick game is very real in the industry...

 photo e953843c817d11e3bb630e1a62a8abff_8.jpg

Like most attractive 19-year-old on "the scene", Chantel is a model (signed to Wilhelmina) who is often spotted on the Miami/LA party scene with athletes and celebs.  She's one of Draya Michele's besties and often poses for her Fine Ass Girls line.  Also..... 

 photo Desean-Jackson-Girlfriend-Cooking-Him-Breakfast.jpg

She was apparently boo'd up with Eagle's wide receiver DeSean Jackson (above) before he "allegedly" dumped her for former BBW LA star Brooke Bailey.  Chantel has also been linked to Diddy's son Justin Combs, and Bieber's friend Lil Twist.

 

UPDATE:

 photo article-2544693-1AE9D66100000578-450_306x386.jpg

Now that she's (in)famous, Chantel Jeffries' past is coming to light....along with her mugshot. She's actually 21-years-old, originally from Jacksonville, North Carolina, and has had five run-ins with the law, including a misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon charge in 2011. That case was dismissed when her alleged victim refused to press charges.

There was also the time she allegedly stabbed another woman in the left forearm 'during a physical altercation'.  In that case, the victim 'did not want to proceed with the matter' so the charge was dropped. SMH....

 

BONUS:

There is no love lost with Desean as he posted this pic on Instagram around the same time Chantel was joyriding with Bieber.  "Late night wit my Hawaiian chic !!"

Ha.

Oprah Winfrey has signed on to produce Ava DuVernay's civil rights project, "Selma."  Find out about the project inside...

 

When this magazine cover hit our inboxes, we couldn't help noticing the level of snatchery Oprah Winfrey is on for the February cover of "O" Magazine.

While the OWN Network founder was snubbed by Hollywood for her performance in The Butler, she hasn't allowed that to curtail her film endeavors. She's recently signed on to produce Selma, a new drama about the historic civic rights marches that will be directed by Sundance Film Festival winner Ava DuVernay.

Brad Pitts' Plan B production company will also work with Oprah on the film, which has already cast David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr.According to THR,

"Selma details the attempts of black marchers to walk from Selma to Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, in 1965 in order to gain voting rights, only to be beaten back by police. It took the organizers three attempts to make the journey as marchers swelled in numbers each time. It was also a critical time in King’s life"

Ava, who recently directed an episode "Scandal", told THR, "It’s a subject matter close to her heart. The producers are behind some of the most forward-thinking movies of last year, and they are all coming together."

In other Oprah news, her famed condominium in Chicago’s Water Tower Place is on the market for $7.75 million.  Nice!

And in sad news, news reports state that Mary J. Blige's father, Thomas Blige, is now in critical condition after being stabbed in the neck with a knife.  The incident happened outside of Detroit in the city of Battle Creek...and his girlfriend (who is currently possibly an estranged lover) is the prime suspect.

The Battle Creek Enquirer reports:

Police said they were called to the Arbors of Battle Creek, an apartment complex at Rambling Road and Capital Avenue Southwest, at 6:58 a.m. Thursday.

They said they found Blige in his apartment at 200 Oakbrook Boulevard with three stab wounds, including one to his neck.

He was taken to Bronson Battle Creek and then to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo where he underwent surgery for his injuries.

And how the stabbing went down:

Detective Sgt. Jim Martens said officers went to the scene and found blood in the snow near the entrance drive to the apartment complex and more blood in Blige’s apartment. Police also found a knife in the apartment that they believe was used in the attack.

Martens said officers then went to [his girlfriend's] nearby apartment at the Arbors and found the woman in blood-spattered clothing.

She was taken into custody, taken to Bronson Battle Creek for treatment of a cut, questioned by detectives and arrested.

The woman was taken to the Calhoun County jail and was expected to be arraigned Friday in Calhoun County District Court.

Martens said police believe Blige saw the woman deflating the tires on his Ford SUV in the parking lot outside the apartment and went out to confront her.

The couple argued and Blige was stabbed.

He returned to his apartment and she went to her apartment, police said. She was arrested without incident.

Wow.

Interestingly, the Detective said police have handled seven domestic violence complaints between Blige and his 50-year-old former girlfriend since August!

One of these complaints involved the woman getting charged this past October with aggravated domestic violence after she hit Blige in the head with a glass candlestick. She entered a no-contest plea to the charge and on Jan. 10 was placed on six months probation.

Even though she was ordered since then to have “non-assaultive” contact with Blige, we see that she likely didn't abide by that rule.

On Instagram, Amber has revealed that she's very close to her post-baby goal weight.  

She offered advice to weight-conscious mothers saying,"...losing baby weight the natural way takes longer but it's much healthier for ur body and helps u stay strong to carry another baby. So don't put ur life at risk for societies standards of when ur suppose to lose ur pregnancy weight. Take ur time & don't take the easy way out."

Lookin' good Amber!
