LA Clippers star Matt Barnes and wife Gloria Govan have quietly separated -- according to recent reports.  But do we believe it?  More inside...

 

Although we watched their seemingly blissful relationship on BBW LA and saw photos from their wedding a while back, TMZ reports that LA Clippers star Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan are going their separate ways because of "trust" issues.  A source close to the couple says they've been separated for six weeks!  

On social media, we've noticed that Gloria has not been wearing her wedding ring for a few weeks and neither she nor Matt have posted pics of one another.   But, Matt did post a picture of HIS new condo. 

 photo 10729249_1525927344290863_486927025_n.jpg

He captioned, "Wanted to thank @livingspaces for there help with furnishing my new condo.. Just need to add a few things here & there, but I really appreciate it!!"   Hmm....it looks like a bachelor pad. 

And he posted this...

So who has the trust issues....Matt or Gloria? 

On her Instagram Gloria posted a picture with Matt's sister carrying the caption "Happy birthday @danibarnes82 #sisterinlaw #family." Perhaps she's the one trying to hold onto the marriage?

 

We'll keep you posted.....

Uzo Aduba & Baseball Phenom Mo'ne Davis NAMED 2014 Women Who Dare In Harper’s Bazaar + Lance Gross' Photography PUBLISHED In Vogue Italia

Fab chicks Uzo Aduba and 13-year-old baseball superstar Mo’ne Davis have landed in Harper’s Bazaar as two of their 2014 Women Who Dare. Also. Lance Gross' photography made its debut in Vogue Italia. Peep their black-and-white pictorials and Lance's shot inside….

Harper’s Bazaar is giving props to the daring women with vision, commitment and style who took over the world this year. And two YBF chicks made the list.

“Orange Is The New Black” standout Uzo Aduba has had a breakout year, winning her very first Emmy Award for her role as “Crazy Eyes” in the hit NETFLIX series. So it was only right she was chosen as one of the 2014 Women Who Dare by Harper’s Bazar.

Donning a Carolina Herrera dress and Stephen Webster pendant, the first generation Nigerian-American actress revealed the day she got the part for the NETFLIX show was the day she decided to quit acting. As a theater actress, she had been auditioning for roles, but nothing was happening. She said,

"My family is from Nigeria, and when I was a kid, my parents wanted me to be a lawyer," she says. "I thought, 'You aren't meant to be an actor. This isn't for you.' "

 photo uz2.jpg

Just two year later, she was walking across the stage to accept her very first Emmy Award. She talked about playing her character Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren saying,

"Suzanne was described to me as innocent like a child, except children aren't scary. Whatever she does comes from a place of curiosity." The eyes "I focused on last." She laughs. "Like when she winks, she thinks she's doing it with one eye, but it's with both. She just can't quite nail it."

And what’s her definition of daring?

"…taking all risks and chances. It took me a long time to arrive at that—you know, from my gap teeth to my name. I'm realizing, You don't need to change anything about yourself. This is who you are, and it's okay. That's daring."

True testament to never give up.

Also featured…

The 13-year-old baseball prodigy with a 70-MPH fastball. Mo’Ne Davis rose to fame after becoming the first female in history to pitch a shut out game at the Little League World Series. Her big accomplishment was highlighted on Sport's Illustrated August 25th cover.

 photo moni2.jpg

As only the fourth American girl to ever make it to the World Series, Mo’Ne has been the main topic in Little League baseball, but the YBF chick revealed she actually enjoys another sport more than baseball.

She dished to Harper’s Bazaar.

"Basketball is my favorite sport, actually."

 

 photo moni3.jpg

And instead of playing baseball, she’d rather play basketball for the University of Connecticut in college,

"I want to play basketball for UConn." But until then there's sports and school, where the other students were told to "act normal" around her, she explains, "because it's been kinda, like, crazy."

Ha! She also talked about the young guys her age wanting to go against her because she’s a “girl.” She said,

"Most want to hit against me, just to say they got a hit," she says shyly. How often does that happen? "Not very often. Maybe at the end of the game when I'm tired, but that's pretty much it.

Too cute.

Also hitting the magazine pages…..
 

 photo lancegrosswork.png

If you follow actor Lance Gross on social media, you have seen his extrodinary shots he has taken. But now, his work has landed on the pages of VOGUE Italia magazine. And the shot was styled by his girlfriend (soon-to-be-child's mother) Rebecca Jefferson. Team work makes the dream work.

He posted his featured shot with the caption, "Officially Published by Vogue Italia! My Camera on @diandraforrest & @theavaclarke || styled by @becjefferson || Mu by @rebekahaladdin || Hair by @angelacstyles Great work Team!"

Congrats Lance!

Kenya Moore cancelled an appearance at a Detroit high school…twice! But now, she’s attempting to make up for her absence with the $20,000 check she promised. Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes hit up “The Real” to dish about her castmates Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore. Check it inside….

 

Loading

I'm proud to be able to give back and keep my promise to the Detroit public schools foundation to donate $20,000. Detroit is a resilient city and so am I. I will continue to shine despite the people who want to see me fail or try to turn my positivity in to negativity. See you soon Detroit! #igotyomoney #kenyalovesthekids #twirlsawayhaters

“RHOA” on-screen vilian Kenya Moore was scheduled to appear at a Detroit High School last week, with the promise of a $20,000 check. But she was a no show. No Kenya. No money nada. In fact, this was the seond time she went M.I.A. on the high school and had to reschedule.

Kenya (a 1989 Cass Tech grad) was suppose to attend an assembly on Friday at Cass Technical High School, but ended up not showing up after an alleged scheduling conflict involving her family. Her PR team confirmed she still planned on donating the funds, so she took to Instagram to prove she wrote a check her a** could cash.

She posted to Instagram,

I'm proud to be able to give back and keep my promise to the Detroit public schools foundation to donate $20,000. Detroit is a resilient city and so am I. I will continue to shine despite the people who want to see me fail or try to turn my positivity in to negativity. See you soon Detroit! #igotyomoney #kenyalovesthekids #twirlsawayhaters

 

 

Hmm..this ALMOST sounds like the drama around the Saving Our Daughters charity donation.

 

And in other "RHOA" castmate news...

NeNe Leakes hit up the couch with the ladies of “The Real” to keep it all the way real when asked about her cast mates, former friends Cynthia Bailey and Kenya Moore. Nene gave a little sneak peek on what we can expect in the upcoming new season of “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.

Below are the highlights:
 

On Cynthia Bailey…
Loni Love: Well, tell us… tell us. At the end of the last season your friendship with Cynthia was really tense, have you guys kissed and made up?

NeNe Leakes: No!

Ladies: In short, no.

NeNe Leakes: No. We have not kissed and made up and uh…. Although, I've tried. I think when you guys watch the show this season you'll see a lot of things that happened. I felt like last season when we ended I was kind of being blamed. So I think this season you guys may see a different type of girl, that girl.

On Kenya Moore…
Adrienne Bailon: Now even when the cameras aren't rolling, it seems like, you know, sometimes the cast be throwing shade at each other. Like, you ma'am tweeted this… are you ready for it? "Have you ever met a person that truly wanted to be you? Never met them. It's actually sad."

NeNe Leakes: I have actually met some people that, you know, want to be you. You know what I mean? They just all of a sudden… they start posing like you, they start using the language you use, you know what I mean? They start taking pictures like you take 'em and start hanging out with the people you used to hang out with. You know, and start trying to use your glam people. You be like, "Okay so… I know you really want to be me but girl bye."

Adrienne Bailon: Now obviously Twitter blew up. You know your fans keep up with everything. Obviously you love that your fans keep up with everything you say and do and they were pretty much assuming that you were talking about Kenya Moore.

NeNe Leakes: Who?!?!

Ladies: Oh my goodness! (Laughing)

Adrienne Bailon: I'll take that as the answer.

NeNe Leakes: Well you know what? I generally don't talk about her because she recently, you know…. Nobody was talking about her a few years ago. And so now, you know, I know this is a blessing that we are all speaking her name today.

Bloop! Check the clip here.

"LAHH ATL" stars Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez were among the listeners who stepped out to see Johnny Gill live in Atlanta last night.  And the twosome are playing up this baby rumor to the fullest. See pics inside...

 photo redj13.jpg

Should Joseline Hernandez be on "baby bump" watch?  The couple made headlines recently after Stevie J revealed that they are "expanding" their family and will have a new addition.  But as for what TYPE of new addition....knowing these two thirst-mongers for publicity, it could be anything.

 photo ALFO7177_zps732268fb.jpg

Joseline may not look like she's "expecting" in the photos she snapped last night at ATL Live On The Park, but she surely had Stevie and Johnny holding her belly last night to spark the rumors even more....

 photo redj12.jpg

The LAHH couple stepped out to watch "Rub You The Right Way" singer Johnny Gill perform a few of his classic hits at Shanti Das's ATL Live On The Park event.

Johnny may have been the "main" attraction, but all eyes were on Stevie J and Joseline and whether a baby bump was present.

It's interesting to note that Stevie has never used the word "pregnant."

Sigh.....with these two attention seekers, a "new addition" could be a pet OR one of Stevie's other kids!

Johnny hit the stage to perform his classic hits as well as songs from his new cd Game Changer.

The woman whom Keyshia Cole allegedly attacked at Birdman's crib has filed court documents.  Get the deets on what she revealed inside and find out why"Hot N***a" rapper Bobby Shmurda isn't making any money.

 

 photo kiininn.jpg

Sabrina Mercadel (above), the woman whom Keyshia Cole attacked at apparent boyfriend Birdman's condo a few weeks ago, has filed court documents detailing the incident (which landed Keyshia behind bars).

In documents obtained by TMZ, Sabrina says she and four other people where at Birdman's condo around 4am when Keyshia attacked her during a jealous rage. As Sabrina exited the restroom, a source claims Keyshia yelled, "What are you doing with my man?!"

In her docs, Sabrina claims she was punched, scratched and her hair was pulled. Sabrina also says her neck and back were hurt and her finger was badly injured to the point where it does not function.  She was granted a restraining order and now Keyshia has to stay 100 yards away.

We will keep you posted...

 

In music foolywang...

 photo bobbyshed3.png

"Hot N***a" rapper Bobby Shmurda may have to sell drugs again...so he says.  Apparently, the rapper believes that he's been ripped off by the people around him.  And if what he's saying is true, he may just be getting ripped off.

On Instagram, Bobby posted a rant (which has conveniently been deleted) where he says he hasn't been getting paid for his shows.  It's unclear if he's accusing folks of stealing, or simply not paying him what he should be getting, but something's not right. Sadly, he says he doesn't have anyone he can trust.  Then he said he may have to "go back to da the trap" house because he isn't making money on the road. 

“Nah idgaf I’m doing all theses show not getting ma money dey got me doing shit every fucking day so its hard to keep up Witt dis shit den I ain’t got nobody to trust ain’t no help in dis bitch I’m ready to go back to da trap be4 jail #RNS dats how I feel foh,”

One observation - maybe Bobby should read his contracts and he'd know how much money SHOULD be coming in each night...and how.  We'd hate for him to end up on the streets again.  But a single #1 song rarely guarantees longevitiy.

Bobby's 5-song EP Shmurda She Wrote hits stores on November 10th.

Pharrell Williams Goes Green For EBONY Mag's November 2014 Cover, Explains Why He LOVES Black Women

Pharrell Williams is covering the November 2014 issue of EBONY Magazine, and he's telling the world why he loves black women...and how the Mike Brown shooting affects him as a black man and a father.  Check it inside....

Pharrell Williams is green with everything but envy for the newest cover of EBONY magazine. In his provocative cover story on topics ranging from women to racism, P is speaking once again on the "black G I R L" controversy, his love for black women, and why he holds back on talking about race.

When all the drama popped off concerning the lack of black (or brown skinned women) on his G I R L album cover and promo materials, the creative genius explained that black women WERE actually involved.  But when folks didn't let him off the hook, seeing that the women were all fair skinned, he's professing his love for black women once and for all:

“I love Black women,” says Williams. “If you don’t think I love Black women, then you don’t understand me.” He continues to add, “I have obsessed over Black women since the days of Jayne Kennedy, Beverly Peele and Roshumba Williams. Those are the women I daydreamed about growing up.”

Interesting.

About how the tragic death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. impacted him as a Black man, husband and father:

“I don’t talk about race since it takes a very open mind to hear my view, because my view is the sky view. But I’m very troubled by what happened in Ferguson, Mo.”

“When things like that happen, we need to be a united cell. We need connective tissue to be linked by spirit and spirituality.”

“For every individual who gets killed, someone should build a school or teach a child. We really need to balance things with positivity.”

Check out P's Bts video from his cover shoot below:

'RHOA' star Phaedra Parks was all smiles as she hopped out of her vehicle and headed for dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills.

 photo gpdp2.jpg

Phaedra is in LA for an appearance on the "ELLEN" show that will air today where she'll confirmthat she is divorcing Apollo (with whom she shares two children) and discuss Apollo's legal situation.  When asked if she had any idea about his criminal dealings, she told Ellen,

"I work, I just got my fifth college degree — I'm pretty much an overachiever.  I have two very small children. I just stopped breastfeeding three months ago. So, I didn't have any idea this was going on until he called me and he said 'I've been arrested and I'm having this problem, but it's not true.'"

Mmhmm.

When asked about going forward as a single mother, Phaedra said, "My heart aches for my two sons. They are the heart and soul of who I am. "

She also shot down rumors that she cheated on Apollo.

"I think it's totally absurd to think I cheated. They're saying I had an affair with a man from Africa named Chocolate. Everybody knows that I do love a Snickers bar every once in a while, but it's definitely not a man from Africa that I've ever had an affair with."

And don't expect her to bad mouth her soon-to-be ex-husband, Phaedra added, "I never want to do anything to diminish his character in public."

Key words: In public.

 

Phaedra's segment on ELLEN airs today.  Also, catch RHOA premiering Sunday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Alicia and Swizz were joined by 30 others holding signs that read “We Are Here” and “Safe Schools Now!” and they chanted “Bring back our girls” and “When do we want them? Now! Now! Alive!”

Alicia, who's pregnant with her second child, told the NY Post that "motherhood" inspired her to join the protest. 

“Today is my son’s birthday and it is also making me stand in solidarity with all the mothers of the Chibok girls who have been abducted for six months and are still missing. And it is just outrageous that that’s going on.”

Some people have even told me they’ve heard things about ‘there’s been progress,’ but there hasn’t been progress because the girls aren’t back,” Keys said. “So I think that we get mixed information. We don’t know, so we just have to keep being made aware of what’s happening.”

Nick Cannon opened up about Amber Rose and his split from Mariah Carey recently.  Find out what he said inside and get the deets on Stevie Wonder expecting triplets with his fiancee.

 

"America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon chatted with Dish Nation about his recent split from Mariah Carey ("the wound’s too fresh") and shot down rumors that he's hooking up with Amber Rose ("That’s someone that I’m managing") during a new interview. Here are the highlights:

On divorcing Mariah:

“I think the wound’s too fresh to even be thinking about that right now,”

On Amber Rose:

“That’s someone that I’m managing. I’m really excited about everything she’s about to do in her career and building her brand. I manage a lot of people, but obviously that’s one, because she’s in the news as well and kind of a public figure, people just kind of latched onto that as the media does at times.”

On losing the lead role in the Richard Pryor biopic to Mike Epps:

“This is how this game goes. That’s a project that’s been around for decades and honestly, it’s still not even green-lit at this point,” he said.

On ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’:

“You’re gonna see, the storylines are ridiculous. This season I’m running for the Mayor of Beverly Hills, so you’re gonna see a little bit of that. You gonna see Kevin try to kill me this season, so it’s gonna get crazy.”

On Drumline 2 (airing on VH1 on Monday, October 27, at 9 p.m):

“One thing when I started producing this project, and I wanted to bring it to television, I didn’t want to focus on my old storyline…I can’t come back and just still be drumming, so I wanted to focus on a new storyline and I focused on a female storyline, and wanted it to be about woman empowerment in the sense where it’s about a young lady trying to join the line. I come back just for a quick cameo… My character Devon [Miles] kinda turns into a super music producer type of guy that comes back and pays respect for a couple of scenes.”

K.Michelle is about to kick off her own spinoff reality show called "My Life."  Catch the first trailer inside, plus Erykah Badu showing you just how hard it is to sing for your supper....

K. Michelle takes on the Big Apple in her new spinoff reality show "My Life." 

She may be single, but she's not alone.  K is on her NYC journey with friends Paris, Jonathan, Nema and Tracie--folks who want to see her truly make it.  But while she's reached her dream of nabbing a hit album with Rebellious Soul, she's still finding the balance between her music career and family life with her 10-year old son, Chase, who lives in Memphis with his grandparents.

Here's what you can expect to see:

K. Michelle has a team of friends in place that are committed to helping her make sense of it all. Paris, having met K. Michelle on Twitter a few years ago, is fiercely loyal and outspoken sometimes to her own detriment; make-up artist, confidant and shopping partner Jonathan constantly encourages K. Michelle to stay clear of the drama, open up to giving second chances and follow her heart. Nema is her glamorous roommate who has New York City nightlife in the palm of her hand. Rounding out the group is Tracie, K. Michelle’s childhood friend and part-time dog-sitter, who comes to attempt reconciliation with K. Michelle regarding issues that have arisen between them in recent months.

The show airs Monday November 3rd at 9/8c.

 

Meanwhile, Erykah Badu is singing in the streets.  Literally.  A few days ago, Ms. Badu took it to the streets of Manhattan-slightly undercover-armed with her iPhone. 

She said, “I just kind of always wanted to see what it would be like to sing for money on the streets.”

And she saw that it was far from easy.  While singing freestyle choruses, and not her own songs, she earned a whopping $4--almost.

“Look at all this money. If you’ve got some initiative, you can make money,” she says. Her video then flashes a message: “Easy to judge isn’t it … but in reality life is a lot harder than this.”

Peep the video below:

Class dismissed.

This week, Rihanna released her brand new fragrance called ROGUE Man at Macy's.  It's comprised of fresh citrus, herbs, and spicy black pepper, velvet floral blends and strong undertones of cedar wood.  You fellas copping it?

 

Over in New York yesterday:

Paula Patton's recent divorce filing isn't getting her down.  The fab actress hit SoHo on Wednesday rocking the trendy-for-fall leather moto-jacket with a plaid shirt and distressed jeans.  Pretty much the fall uniform for many.

The Baggage Claim star is embroiled in rumors of an alleged new boyfriend named Zak Waters, whom she allegedly moved into her home, but we're not buying it just yet.

What we do believe is the story about soon-to-be ex-husband Robin Thicke throwing a divorce party Friday night amongst a bevy of models...and Leo DiCaprio.  Hmmm...

Halle Berry Wants $16K/Month Child Support Payments REDUCED + Gloria Govan ACCUSED Of Forging Husband Matt Barnes’ Signature For $150K Loan

 photo hallgab.jpg

Halle Berry is tired of dishing out $16,000 a month in child support payments to her ex Gabriel Aubry. So, she's requesting the judge reduce her monthly obligation down to $3,000 a month. In other relationship news, Gloria Govan has a lawsuit on her hands after allegedly signing her husband Matt Barnes’ signature to take out a $150,000 loan. Deets inside…

Over the summer, “Extant” star Halle Berry was ordered by the courts to pay her ex-boyfriend/model Gabriel Aubry a cool $16,000 a month in child support for their 6-year-old daughter Nahla after a nasty custody battle. They were both awarded joint custody of little Nahla, so she stays with each parent 50% of the time.

But now the YBF actress wants that amount reduced and she’s making claims that Grabriel is currently not working and is solely living off the support she provides. SMH

TMZ got ahold of court docs filed by Halle requesting the judge reduce her $16K a month obligation to just over $3,000 a month. According to the paperwork, Halle is accusing Gabe of abusing the system. She claims Nahla’s model dad is not working (which he is fully capable of doing) and is content with living off of her $$$ every month. She explains the reduction will force Gabe to get a job and will still allow Nahla to live a comfortable life.

If he is living solely off of her income, we’re not mad at her asking for a reduction. She’ll be able to add those extra coins back into her own household with husband Olivier Martinez and son Maceo.  She's also got extra income rolling in after her show “Extant” got renewed for a second season on CBS.

And in another relationship....

 photo mattglo.jpg

Since rumors of their split hit the Internet, details as to possible reasons why Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes decided to call it quits are coming to light.

Former “BBW LA” star Gloria Govan has been hit with a lawsuit after a woman claims Gloria forged her L.A. Clippers husband Matt Barnes’ signature to take out $150,000 loan. Why are we not surprised it had something to do with money.

The wife of Grammy winning singer Lou Rawls is the woman behind the lawsuit. Nina Rawls claims Gloria came to her back in March to borrow $150K for a television project she was allegedly working on with her and Matt’s production company.

Nina decided to give her the money, but under one stipulation. She wanted her money back in FULL 2 months later. Well… time passed and it was time to pay up BUT Nina didn’t get a dime! She eventually caught up with Gloria and that's when she admitted to forging Matt’s signature for the loan. Sighs…

It’s not exactly clear if Matt knew about the loan, but Nina is seeking repayment of the $150K...PLUS damages.

We’re just trying to figure out, why would she need a $150K loan when her husband signed a three-year deal worth about $11 million with the Clippers?

 

EXTRAS:

1. Tiffany “New York” Pollard is STILL looking love. She may or may not be making a return to reality TV, but VH1 hit the streets of New York to find her a man. Check it here.

*Post updated with official cover* We have a sneak peek of Kerry Washington’s bare (au naturel) look for the cover of ALLURE beauty magazine’s November 2014 issue. Peep the shot inside…

“Scandal” superstar Kerry Washington wiped away the heavy makeup for a much more natural look for her newest cover. The primetime “IT” girl bared her natural beauty for the November 2014 issue of ALLURE magazine. And we’re loving it!

 photo kallure2.jpg

The fab mother and wife has been working her butt off in the film industry before her rise to fame as Shonda Rhimes’ ABC series powerhouse.

We fell in love with Kerry after her breakout role as Chenille in “Save The Last Dance” and when she starred alongside Jamie Foxx in the Ray Charles biopic. But as perfect as we’d like to think Kerry is in our head, she’s still just like one of us. Revealing a much vulnerable side, she revealed that since college, a therapist has helped her throughout her career.

She confessed to the magazine,

“I have gone to a therapist since I was in college.
 

And clearly, this has worked in her favor. Go Kerry! Stay tuned for the official cover....

In other Kerry news, the Emmy-nominated actress is set to return to the big screen in a new rom-comIs He The One. The new film will be directed by Malcolm D. Lee (The Best Man) and the script is being written by DJ Richardson and Michelle Morgan (Girl Most Likely), and produced by Todd Garner.
