Wall Of Shame: Heisman Winner Jameis Winston Gets Caught Stealing Crab Legs

View image on Twitter
 
Is this how we "claw" our way to the top?...

After his accomplished year of taking home the BCS championship trophy, and being the youngest recipient of the Heisman award, Florida State QB Jameis Winston has decided to take on another role outside of sports; and that's to be the next crab bandit!

According to a report released by SBNation.com, Jameis was issued a misdemeanor citation on Tuesday for allegedly stealing crab legs from a local Publix super market. *Inserts on my back and rolling around laughter here*

An insider, who's close to the Tallahassee Police Department, disclosed to Tomahawk nation that Winston's offense is a minor one, and will likely get erased off his record if he cooperates by completing his sanctions.

This isn't the first time Jameis has been in the spotlight for theft. In 2012, the QB was allegedly involved in a BB gun fight at Burger King where packages of ketchup mysteriously vanished from the scene.

Wait...ketchup isn't free?

Hopefully this embarrassment will cause him to sit down for a little while. Oh, and Jameis? The next time you get a craving for crabs, GO TO JOE'S!

L.A. Clippers Owner: I Want Black Players On My Team But Not In My Stands!


If you're black and an L.A Clippers fan, this might not be for you...

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling has an announcement for any black person wanting to come to a Clippers game, and it's simply NOT TO!

According to TMZ, the team owner expressed his pleasure for segregation during an argument with his girlfriend V. Stiviano, and the pathetic exchange it was all caught on tape!

 On the tape you allegedly hear a very irritated Sterling going off after looking at an Instagram pic of his possibly ex GF (who by the way is Black and Mexican) with Magic Johnson.

"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people...I'm just saying in your lousy Instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with, walking with black people."

Sterling added, "Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see, so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games."

Jealous much or naw?

The Clippers haven't had the best of luck in the past 4, 7, to 20 years, so it's quite interesting to read about these accusations now that his almost all black team has had it together for the past 2 years.

Word to Sterling, GET IT TOGETHER.

Columbus Short Gets The Boot From Scandal


*In my best Umpire voice* STRIIIIIIIKE! YOU'RE OUT!... 

It's a sad day in Shondaland for gladiators, and an even sadder one for Columbus Short, who will not be returning to ABC's hit drama Scandal next season. 

In a statement released today confirming his exit, the fallen gladiator thanked creator Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, and the rest of the cast for their support and for his time spent on the show.

"At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for three years...I would like to thank Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast. Thank you GLADIATORS who have supported me throughout my entire career...unfortunately the time has come to an end for Harrison Wright to exit the canvas. I wish nothing but the best for Shonda, Kerry and the rest of the cast who have become like a second family to me in such a short amount of time. For this I will forever be grateful."

The announcement comes on the heels of Short's most recent domestic dispute with wife Tanee Short, who recently filed for divorce and was also granted a temporary restraining order after their latest altercation.

For those who are fans of Shonda's work, you would know that she has ZERO tolerance for foolery, and doesn't hesitate to write ANYBODY off if the circumstances allow. 

Best of luck to Columbus and his wife smh. This is a dang shame.

Beyonce Named TIME Magazine's Most Influential Person


1D274905690489-today-t100-140423-04.blocks_desktop_medium


Well this was a no brainer...

TIME's list of most influential people has been revealed and guess who reigns at the number 1 spot? Yours truly, Queen Bey!

In the last couple of months Beyoncé has proven to be the ultimate influencer by doing what most musical insiders would call the unthinkable. In December the singer released a surprise visual album with little to no marketing and shattered records sales. She also took the world on a musical ride with her sold out Mrs. Carter World Tour.

And now her most recent goal completed? Shooting for one of TIME's most coveted issues.

In a video posted to TIME's website the "Independent Woman" tells why she's happy to be called one of the most influential people of our time.

"Shooting for TIME magazine was definitely one of my goals in my life. It's something very important to me as an artist because it's not about fashion or beauty, it's about the influence I've had on our culture, and to be among the other influential people is a huge honor for me."

Other influencers to make this year's list were President Barack Obama, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Kerry Washington, and more.

Ciara Takes Sexy Maternity Shoot For W Magazine



Whoever said you can't be sexy while toting around a gut full of human, lied! This chick is KILLING EM!...

W Magazine's latest issue has hit newsstands, and inside a glowing and very pregnant Ciara shows us just how beautiful and fashionable pregnancy can be.

In what she calls her most favorite shoot to date, the 'Body Party' singer shows off her sexy maternity style and dishes on her purpose in life, when she's most fearless, and her biggest fashion challenge.

Check out some of the excerpts below.

Ciara on fearlessness:

"When I'm at home I'm a little different than when I'm on stage; on stage I'm probably my most fearless."

Ciara's pregnancy fashion challenge:

"Pregnancy has been a great fashion challenge because you can't wear things that you use to wear but you still want to feel like who you are...I have to pay some credit to my fiancé's closet, because I have worn probably all of his clothes."

Ciara's thoughts on her purpose:

"I wasn't given this platform to perform in front of millions just for the sake of dancing and singing. There's gotta be more to it."

 
 
 
 
This is one hot momma...literally.

Lupita Nyong'o Named PEOPLE's Most Beautiful!!



*Cues Stevie Wonder* "Isn't she lovely! Isn't she wonderful!"...

It hasn't even been a full 365 days since she's hit the scene, but I think it's safe to say Lupita is definitely having the best year ever!

Oscar winner, Lancôme ambassador, and style snatcher are just a few of the accomplishments Lupita Nyong'o has under her belt, and now she can add being PEOPLE's most beautiful to the that list!

PEOPLE magazine recently revealed their 50 Most Beautiful People issue, and proudly announced the Kenyan beauty as their cover girl. When speaking on how she feels about gracing the cover for the most beautiful issue, the 31-year-old says, "It was exciting and just a major, major compliment...I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen."

The newfound style icon has exemplified what it means to be confident in your own skin, but admits growing up, she didn't realize how beautiful she was. During her adolescent years the '12 Years A Slave' star admits television played a role in what she equated beauty with.

"Light skin and long, flowing, straight hair...Subconsciously you start to appreciate those things more than what you possess."

To help her realize her beauty was her mother Dorothy, managing director and head of PR for the Africa Cancer foundation. "[My mother] always said I was beautiful, and I finally believed her at some point."

And we believe your mother too!

The Most Beautiful issue hits stands Friday.

Scandal's Columbus Short Threatens To Kill Wife And Commit Suicide?!


Somebody is clearly dealing with the struggle of having a healthy work/life balance here...

The domestic violence list just keeps getting longer for Scandal actor Columbus Short, and his most recent incident includes a restraining order and request for divorce filed by his wife, Tanee Short.

In an affidavit, ordered on April 7th, Tanee recounts experiencing a very drunk Columbus, who not only threatened to sock her upside the head with a wine bottle, but also threatened to kill her with a knife, and then himself!

After this took place, she says her wacko hubby demanded they play a game of "Truth or Truth," which consisted of him asking her off the wall questions about guys he suspected she had an affair with. Tanee stated when she didn't give an answer he deemed as appropriate, he would stab his knife into the couch, or into whatever piece of furniture was near.

When these shenanigans were over, Tanee claims she grabbed her car keys and daughter and dashed for the door, only to find out two miles down the road that her tires had been slashed (Freddy Kreuger, is that you?).

This marks the third violent episode for the couple in the past two months, with the first two being in February and involving a deranged Columbus pushing and choking his wife.

Welp! I think I'm gonna have to go for prayers up on this one A-Listers. Oh, and if it has any truth to it, I'm gonna need Columbus to leave his scripts and the mindset of his character AT WORK.

Cuteness Overload: Vanessa Simmons Shares Pic Of Baby Girl


Time flies when you're having fun...and being a new mommy :)...

Feels like it was just yesterday Rev. Run's daughter, Vanessa Simmons, introduced herself to the world as a new mom, and now two months later, we finally get to witness the preciousness she calls the love of her life!

In a recent photo, uploaded to Instagram, Vanessa gave us a full on view of an angelic looking Ava Marie fast asleep with the caption, "My Love, My Life, Ava Marie, 2 months."

This is Vanessa's first child with longtime boyfriend, Mike Wayans (son of Damon Wayans).

How cute!



Chris Brown's Latest Mug Shot Released

Chris Brown mugshot

I must have missed the memo or something. Today has got to be National Mug Shot Day...

First it was Porsha Williams' glam mug shot, and now the public has gotten a hold of Chris Brown's latest "clink" photo.

In images that have recently leaked online, we see a blonde haired, worn out looking Chris donning the look of "same ish different day" across his face.

The photos appear to have surfaced just before Brown's scheduled court appearance in Washington, D.C., for charges stemming from an altercation involving a fan allegedly getting punched in the face by Chris.

If the singer is found guilty, he will face up to four years singing, "locked up, they won't let me ouuut."

If you ask me, I think Chris's friends should meet Porsha's friends. Then they can be friends...and work on Chris's mug shot look.

ATL Housewives Porsha Williams Takes Most Glamorous Mug Shot (Ever!)


Is this a mug shot or a glamorous head shot used for booking acting gigs?...

Porsha Williams jail time photo has been released, and the only thing that comes to mind when I look at it is...WERRRRK!

The glam shot was taken shortly after the RHOATL star voluntarily turned herself in to Fulton County jail in Atlanta, Georgia after a warrant for her arrest was issued regarding her ATL Housewives reunion brawl with costar, Kenya Moore.

Williams was charged with one misdemeanor count simple battery, and was released shortly after posting $2,000 bail.

Word to the ratchet: Cute mug shot, but please...don't try this at home. This still falls under the "wall of shame" category.

Jay Z And Beyonce Take On A Summer Tour Together?!



Now this is something that would definitely bring all the boys and girls to the yard...

With the wrap of two successful world tours (Magna Carter Holy Grail and The Mrs. Carter Show), and most recently surprising fans with guest appearances at Coachella, Jay Z and Beyoncé may have something else in store for their stans; a joint summer tour!

According to Page Six, Hip Hop's favorite couple is set to launch a 20-stadium US tour that's scheduled to kick off in late June, with one of their performances being in New York on July 4th.

If the tour is indeed in the works, the duo is estimated to rake in a whopping $50 million ($2.5 million per show) by the end of their run. (GOOD LAWD that's a lot of money for only 20 stops!)

If this is true, I'm going to need one of those shows to be within driving distance for me. Heck that's a double whammy! A 2 for 1 special!

Jay and Bey please...make it happen.

Yikes!: Singer August Alsina Blasts 106th & Park Host Over Trey Songz Question!?

August-Alsina-106-and-Park

Either somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed, or a serious line was crossed. I'm gonna go with a little bit of both for 500 please...

Earlier today rising bad boy crooner, August Alsina dropped by '106th & Park' to promote his newly released album "Testimony," and also debuted a new video featuring Fabulous titled, "Grind and Pray/Get Ya Money."

But before doing that, the New Orleans native decided to put one '106th & Park' cohost in their place!

From the looks of things the singer may have enlightened producers before taking the stage on exactly what questions should be asked, and which ones should be passed. Sadly, from what happened next, I don't think '106th & Park' cohost Keshia Chante' got the memo.

In a question Keshia asked, regarding possibly squashing his beef with RnB singer Trey Songz, a very frustrated Alsina replied, "So you just gone go against the grain, and go against everything that I just told ya'll...I just told ya'll not to ask me that sh#t when I got up in here."

Can we say AWWWKWARRRD!?

After his blunt and very straight to the point response, Keshia quickly made it clear that her question was strictly for the fans, and left things at that. " Fair [enough]...You've spoken on radio stations and blogs, and you're on the show, so fans want to know, and I'm just asking you."

Take a peep at the heated and uncomfortable exchange below.



*Raises hand for suggestion* Maybe going forward, you guys (106 & Park) should do away with asking off the record questions? Just Maybe. Hats off to Keshia for saving face though! Good job!

ATL Love And Hip Hop: Mimi Fraust's Scandalous Sex Tape?!



Is this a failed attempt to show the world love and affection, or Mimi's way of showing that she too can get down and dirty like her baby's father Steebie J?...

Mimi Faust is telling the world she's coming out, and she's doing it by sex tape!...cricket...cricket.

According to our favorite snoopsters over at TMZ, ATL's Love and Hip Hop reality star, Mimi Fraust, along with her main sleeze squeeze Nikko Smith, are set to release a sex tape later this month titled "Mimi And Nikko: Scandal In Atlanta."

TMZ says Vivid Entertainment's Steve Hirsch caught up with the two after he found out about the tape and got them to sign a deal for him to release it to the public.

And apparently they weren't the only ones who thought this idea would be genius. Love and Hip Hop producers allegedly also put their stamp of approval on things in an effort to spice up the reality show for next season.

You can check out some of the alleged screenshots below. *Warning* Kids, you can leave now.



So at this point next season's LAHH will potentially have Benzino getting shot by a family member on the way to a funeral, and Mimi with a scandalous sex tape? Too much people...too much.

Lupita Nyong'o Named New Face For Lancome!



This lady just keeps breaking beauty barriers doesn't she!?...

The Lupita Nyong'o reign continues and her latest venture is with French luxury beauty brand Lancôme!

The Oscar winner announced Friday that she'll be joining forces with famed actresses Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz and Lily Collins as an ambassador for the popular perfumes and cosmetics house.

Nyong'o also shared her joy with fans on Instagram posting, "Me + LANCOME. #TGIF The secret's out. And it feels GREAT."

This will be a first time kind of partnership for both the Kenyan beauty and Lancôme, as it's Lupita's "first" major endorsement deal, and Lancôme's "first" time having a black ambassador for the brand.

Lancôme's ad with Nyong'o will start appearing this summer.

Can we say, "Break EVERY chain?!"

Congrats Lupita! She ROCKS!

Too Much Fun Or Too Far?: ATL Housewives Todd Tucker's Bachelor Party

 photo IMG_5989.jpg

Well, well well, looky what we have here. I see somebody's trying to party like it's 1999...

It recently went down for Todd Tucker's bachelor party, and from the looks of things he and his frenemies may have been going for the "who can shame my spouse the most" award.

The party, which took place at Peter Thomas's Atlanta's Bar One, appeared to be filled with lots of drinks, lots of dancing...and lots of strippers.

In attendance, to help Momma Joyce's future son-in-law celebrate his final days as a bachelor, were ATL L&HH's Kirk Frost, and ATL Housewives co-stars Apollo Nida, and Peter Thomas.

Why am I not surprised by that line up?

You can take a look at the explicit, I repeat EXPLICIT pics below.

Sooo...we got two husbands smiling at half naked women, and one holding the legs of a half naked woman upside down? The standards of today...
