UPDATE: Bobbi Kristina Put In Medically Induced Coma For Swelling Of The Brain


More prayers in effect NOW...

Things aren't looking too great for the Houston family as updated reports reveal that Bobbi Kristina's condition has gotten worse.

Earlier today it was reported that Bobbi Kristina was found unconscious in a bathtub, and now sources close to the situation say Kristina has been placed in a medically induced coma for swelling of the brain.

Newer details also unveil that Krissy's body was found by her husband Nick, and a friend face down in their bathtub that reportedly had enough water for a bath.

After Krissy was taken to the hospital a search warrant was executed by police but no drugs were found.

The circumstance is especially uncanny due to the fact that Kristina's mom, Whitney Houston, passed away nearly 3 years ago to the exact date from a drug overdose/drowning.

I don't really have much to say other than to pray, pray, pray...

Oh No She Didn't?!: QVC Host Makes "Bad Hair" Comment As Black Woman Models A Purse

 

QVC host, Sandra Bennett, ruffled a few naturalistas feathers during a Dooney & Bourke segment that aired last week, after making a "hair" comment during the time an African American female (Michelle Holloway) was shown modeling on camera.

While discussing how timeless a D&B handbag could be for potential buyers, the host said, "You might look back and think, why did I wear my hair like that? But you will like you're bag still [laughs]."

Her co-host, a rep for the fashion accessories company, added, "That's right. You won't look at your hair in the picture, you'll look at your handbag."

Oh?

After the taping a blogger, known as Bougie Black Girl, reached out to Sandra on twitter to express her distaste for the remarks which prompted the home shopping host to tweet out an apology.

 Apology: She responded to blogger 'Bougie Black Girl' saying she was 'sorry' and 'wasn't talking about her' (Holloway). These tweets were later deleted 

The above tweets have since been deleted, but were replaced with an official apology that was posted to Sandra's Facebook account.

'Light-hearted': Bennett wrote a final apology on Facebook suggesting she didn't realize anything she had said caused offence until she was notified by other people 

Hmm. I dunno. I mean, to put things into perspective Sandra did make the comment AFTER her co-host made a remark about being able to look back in 10 years and still appreciate the bag BUT still...tricky tricky.

Watch the video below and decide for yourself if the comment was mere coincidence, or just plain ole insensitive?



Well, if there's one thing I DO know, it's that you DON'T comment negatively on a black woman's faith OR her hair. If Sandra indeed "tried" it, I highly doubt she'll be doing so anymore. Lesson learned.

Oh No!: Whitney Houston's Daughter Bobbi Kristina Found Unconscious In A Bathtub


In the words of Phaedra Parks -- Fix it Jesus...

Bobbi Kristina was recently found unconscious in a bathtub at her home, and now lies in a hospital after paramedics reportedly helped bring her back to life!

According to TMZ, Krissy's husband, Nick Gordon, along with a friend found her lying unconscious in a bathtub -- an eerily similar position to how her late mother, Whitney Houston, was found and immediately started performing CPR on her until paramedics arrived.

When cops showed up on the scene "life saving" techniques were performed before she was whisked away by the ambulance to the hospital.

She's is now reportedly stabilized and breathing.

Less than a week ago Kristina posted a tweet celebrating her wedding anniversary with Nick and also opened up about how much she misses her mother:

*deep sighs* This is not a good look. Here's to a strong recovery and getting better soon...

Suge Knight Arrested For Murder! Involved In A Fatal Hit And Run!

 

While most people are probably thanking God it's Friday, Suge is probably somewhere (like jail) wishing he could turn back the hands of time...

Suge Knight has found himself back in trouble with the law, and this time it may have something to do with murdering a friend!

Thursday, the Death Row founder was allegedly involved in a fatal hit and run after getting into an altercation on a film set that was located "straight outta Compton."

 TMZ reports Suge was supposedly trying to pay a visit to ex-label mates Dr. Dre and Ice Cube but was prevented from doing so by security when he arrived. Long story short, a fight broke out that resulted in Knight getting back into his car, reversing his vehicle and ultimately running over a man (some identify as Terry Carter) before leaving.

The victim of the hit and run is said to have been Suge's friend who arrived at the scene with him. Sources say when he was in the process of getting back into the car Suge, who was unable to see him, reversed his vehicle and ended up running over the man...twice.

Reports say Suge's vehicle was found early Friday morning in an abandoned parking lot in Westwood L.A., and as of right now he's been arrested for murder charges with a bail set at $2 million.

An investigation is currently underway.

Good LORD is all I have to say! Because that's the ONLY one who's gonna be able to intervene and fix this situation smh. Prayers and condolences for the victim's family...

Jagged Edge Member Arrested For Shoving Engagement Ring Down Fiance's Throat


Is Domestic Violence the new norm?!...

Jagged Edge member, Kyle Norman, is the latest in the slew of celebrities who've had their domestic violence episodes played out for the world to see.

The "Lets Get Married" singer was arrested Thursday morning after getting into a heated altercation with his fiancé that left bruises on several parts of her body.

According to Atlanta CBS46 when police arrived to the couple's home they were met by Kyle's beaten and bruised fiancé who told them she'd just been in an argument with Kyle over his drinking.

Police stated the victim had welts under her eyes, a golf ball sized knot on her upper left forehead, a cut to her nose, AND a blood clot that had burst in her right eye just to name a few.

His fiancé also detailed what caused some of the the bruising, telling police Kyle punched and choked her with a scarf and shoved her engagement ring down her throat. o_O

When the victim tried escaping Norman allegedly kept her from leaving by grabbing her car keys and breaking her cell phone. It wasn't until after Kyle calmed down that his fiancé was allowed to escape to a neighbors house for safety.

An officer says when he arrived on the scene he witnessed the RnB singer running frantically down the sidewalk shouting, "I need to go to jail!"

So what was the reason for all this madness? Kyle says it wasn't his drinking but his way of dealing with the news of his dad having cancer. Again...o_O

Nevertheless, he was taken to jail on aggravated assault while the victim was treated at the Atlanta Medical Center.

Geesh! What a horrible experience for his fiancé. I'm guessing "Meet me at the altar in your white dress" won't be playing anytime soon for the couple? Prayers and best of luck!

Ludacris Wins Primary Custody Of Love Child With Baby Momma Tamika Fuller


When I move you move, just like that...

Rapper Ludacris and wife Eudoxie now have one more thing (or body) to celebrate aside from being newlyweds...and that's gaining custody of both Luda and Tamika Fuller's 1-year-old daughter Cai.

According to an exclusive statement released to PEOPLE Luda said:

"After review of all the evidence, the testimony of the witnesses, the report of the guardian ad litem, and the claims made throughout this entire case, I am gratified that the judge found me to be the most fit and proper parent to have primary physical custody of our beautiful daughter."

The happy rapper also may have alluded to the victory on Instagram after posting an image with two lions running with the caption, "The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself."




The win comes after Tamika testified in court that Luda urged her to get an abortion (by dangling a house and $10K over her head) and also after Fuller's request for her child support payments to be increased.

This is one bittersweet situation. Bitter for Tamika, who's losing custody of her daughter (just to have her raised by another woman). And sweet for Ludacris, who now no longer has to worry about forking over $7000 a month in child support. Smh

Nene Leakes Serves Kenya Moore With Cease And Desist Letter


Now this is an interesting birthday present...

Kenya Moore celebrated her 44th birthday yesterday, and in the midst of all the well wishes came a very sharp well warning -- keep my name out your mouth. Or else.

The birthday threat came from none other than the queen of shade herself, RHOA co-star Nene Leakes in the form of a cease and desist letter, which cautioned the twirl diva to halt on any and all shade throwing comments directed her way.

"Mrs. Leakes has learned you have engaged in making false, destructive, and defamatory statements. You are hereby directed to cease and desist making any and all false and defamatory statements, which are injurious to her character and reputation."

Seemingly unbothered after receiving the letter, Kenya took time to share the hypocrisy news with fans on Instagram.


Nene's lawyer, Akil Secret, reiterated the "seriousness" of the matter stating "If any future post, directed at Ms. Leakes, are defamatory, aggressive legal action will result. If Ms. Moore has any doubts about what constitutes defamation, she should seek legal advice before posting on the blog."

*sighs* I think this may be a classic case of needing the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Word from a friend of a fan: Ladies, you're in your forties. Get it together.

Legal Woes: Lil Wayne Vs. Birdman + Beyonce Vs. Etsy


Shots are still firing surrounding the Birdman / Lil Wayne controversy, and if you ask anyone close to Baby's camp, things are getting worse.

According to TMZ, the music mogul is more than ticked off with Weezy's public rants -- most recently being his diss track "I'm Sorry For The Wait" which further details the YMCMB rapper's distaste for the man he once considered a father.

Although Birdman and Wayne have tried to handle the situation through their lawyers, sources supposedly "in the know" about the situation say Birdman isn't budging on releasing Tunechi's album nor terminating his contract.

In other words, he's on his Suge Knight ish.

In other legal news...

Calling all brides to be! If you're a fan of the Feyonce mugs that have recently become popular amongst the newly engaged, now may be the time to un-fan yourself, because the queen has come to shut it all down.



According to TMZ, Bey's attorneys have caught wind of arts & crafts website Etsy's recent gold mine and have sent over cease and desist letters warning them to scrap the merchandise or else.

Etsy followed suit and immediately took down the cups, but other Feyonce items like shirts and other glassware still remain.

I guess Etsy said, you're gonna have to be more specific on what we cease and desist on over here! Get your coins while you can smh...

Chris Brown Features Girlfriend Karrueche In New Autumn Leaves Video

 
From the 'Gram to the small screen!

Chris Brown has taken another step to publicly declare his love for on again, off again boo thing, Karrueche and this time he's doing so in a new video for his latest single "Autumn Leaves."

In the Asian inspired visual (that possibly pays homage to Kae's culture) C. Breezy treks through miles and miles of beautiful green scenery all for the sake of being close to his Asian persuasion love interest.

Noticeably absent from the video is collaborator, Kendrick Lamar, who's vocals remain but are lip synced by the "Loyal" singer.

Chris is scheduled to begin his Between The Sheets Tour with Trey Songz and Tyga on January 28th.

Watch the video below and decide for yourself if it's A-list or D-list.

Ouch! Tiger Woods Gets Front Tooth Knocked Out By Photographer!

Tiger Woods walks in the finish area of an alpine ski, women's World Cup super-G, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Monday, Jan. 19, 2015. Lindsey Vonn won a super-G Monday for her record 63rd World Cup victory and celebrated with an embrace from a surprise visitor boyfriend Tiger Woods. The American broke Annemarie Moser-Proell's 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup wins with a flawless run down the Olympia delle Tofane course, finishing 0.85 ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria.

Imagine planning a romantic surprise trip to see your significant other just to end up having your tooth knocked out by someone before you see them! This A-Listers, is exactly what happened to Tiger Woods...

During a trip to Italy to watch his girlfriend, pro skier Lindsey Vonn take home her 63rd World Cup title, Tiger was whacked by a media member's camera as he made his way to the awards podium to snap pictures.

"During a crush of photographers at the awards podium at the World Cup event in Italy, a media member with a shoulder-mounted camera pushed and surged towards the stage, [then] turned and hit Tiger in the mouth. Woods' tooth was knocked out by the incident," said Excel Sports agent Mark Steinberg in an email.

Tiger was later spotted looking snag-a-licous while sporting a skeleton patterned scarf to hide his missing tooth -- That is, until the scarf was pulled down for the world, (i.e. the paps) to see.

Tiger is scheduled to return to competition next week, where he'll partake in the Phoenix Open.

Well that's unfortunate to hear. I wonder if he'll be able to fit in a quick visit to the dentist between now and then. If not, I'm sure the paparazzi will be ready. Nice to see he's ok!

A-List Weekend Sightings: Kim and Kanye, Beyonce and Jay Z, Ciara And More


The end of the weekend has once again snuck upon us, causing the work-week beast to slowly and surely rear its ugly head.

So before we all get back to making those coins, lets take a look at how a few of our favorite A-List celebs enjoyed their weekend.


 Kim and Kanye were spotted having dinner with A-List couple, Jay Z and Beyoncé Friday night in West Hollywood, Calif. The double date was after the Carter's enjoyed a night of basketball at the Staples Center watching the L.A. Clippers, and Cleveland Cavaliers. So far, there's still no sign of pregnancy from the queen Bey. In the meantime we'll still have our eyes locked on the tummy. We always do.





After dinner and cocktails the Wests were spotted enjoying the wintery slopes with close family and friends on their ski-cay.





Amber Rose spent the weekend living it up in Miami and...breaking the internet. The rosebud queen gave us more than a glimpse of her summer body in a black string monokini while enjoying a girls weekend with Tyga's ex-fiancé Black Chyna.

 
 
Lil Wayne's latest boo, Christina Milian was spotted at the start of the weekend making promo runs for her new E! docu-series, 'Christina Milian Turned Up'. The show airs tonight at 10/9c.
 

The Seahawks managed to pull a surprise win over the GB Packers to seal their spot in the 2015 Superbowl, and RnB diva Ciara was all here for it! The singer uploaded a celebratory Instagram vid to bask in her proud moment.

A video posted by Ciara (@ciara) on

But...what is that Christmas tree still doing up in the background? It's dang near February CiCi!

Whitney Biopic Recap + Best Memes From The Movie


Lifetime has GOT to be somewhere thanking the good man above for this biopic redemption...

The premiere of Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic debuted last night and the movie was combined with every tea lovers dream!

The film, directed by 'American Horror Story' star Angela Bassett, centered around the whirlwind romance of Bobby and Whitney, and not only welcomed viewers into the possible steamy and very freaky love life of the couple, (played by Yaya Dacosta and Arlen Escarpeta) but also depicted the Bad Boy of RnB in a surprisingly and oddly refreshing light.  (So much so that many fans joked about the movie being more about Bobby than the late iconic singer).

At the beginning of the film Bobby is introduced as the king of RnB who eventually steals Whitney's heart, and who also shockingly turns down drugs from the singer at her 26th birthday party. (Yea. Major side eyes were thrown during this part of the movie).



Throughout the rest of the film Brown is shown as the supportive husband who can't seem to catch a musical break or escape the shadow of his wife's Hollywood success.

Despite showing the apparent drug use of the "I Will Always Love You" singer throughout the entire film, lady Ange still manages to uphold the integrity and talent of the Houston legacy.

All in all, I think the real concern of the night was whether or not Angela would be able to pull off a successful lifetime biopic after the epic fail of the Aaliyah movie that was executive produced by Wendy Williams.

If I had to keep score, I'd say:
Angela Bassett - 1, Wendy Williams - none.

What did you think about the movie? Was it a yay or a nay?

Catch some of the memes from last night's debut below.

Safaree Opens Up About Nicki Minaj Breakup On The Breakfast Club (Video Inside)



They say there's 3 sides to every story. Yours, mine, and the truth...

Safaree aka "Scaff Beezy" is finally speaking out on his 15 year relationship with ex boo Nicki Minaj, and from the looks of things he may be responsible for a lot of the success the head barb is experiencing today.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club SB makes it very clear that he wasn't just some hype man looking to bank off of Nicki's coins, but instead someone who signed off on every decision made in Nicki's career.

"Decisions weren't made without me. That was my soulmate. That wasn't just someone I was working with."

Safaree also revealed that it was he who decided to end things with the raptress because he got tired of dealing with the lack of respect shown in their household.

"You could be the President of the world but if you don't respect me, I'm not gonna put up with it anymore...it's just the whole trying to pull me down publicly. I can't deal with that."

Welp...

Catch the full interview, and S. Beezy in all of his pimped out glory (chinchilla and pinky ring) below.

Beyonce Announces Second Pregnancy?!

 

"I stop the world! Male or Female, it make no difference I stop the world! World stop...Carry On." -Beyonce

Did Beyonce just announce she's expecting Blue 2.0? Maybe so? Maybe no.

Earlier the Queen had her beyhive buzzing around aimlessly trying to figure out whether or not the singer was sending out a subliminal message that she's carrying her second child!

In a pic uploaded to the songstress's Instagram account, Bey is shown covered in sand and donning what looks like a pregnant belly, while daughter Blue Ivy sits off to the side.

Rumors of pregnancy have been surrounding the Flawless beauty for a few weeks now -- the first breaking while the Carter's were trekking through Cambodia during their holiday excursion.



So now, for my thoughts. Let's do the math here shall we?

Two weeks ago Beyonce posted pics of her and hubby Jay Z maxing and relaxing in hot tubs while popping bottles of champagne in Iceland like this:





Now, fast forward to today and we got her laying on a beach 8 months pregnant playing in the sand like this?:



Something's not right.

If the picture is indeed any indication that Beyonce is pregnant, I'd have to also suggest that she's had a mastectomy on her left breast too.
