‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’ Recap: Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!

by 05/20/14

By Maurice Bobb

There are all kinds of defective, maladjusted, flawed, wounded and, let’s face it, unfit relationships out there and somehow, within the span of an hour Monday (May 19) night, “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” managed to showcase them all.

Last week’s litany of lies, deceit and jealousy were trumped by last night’s messy gossip, gross derelictions of parental duty, ratchet wrestling and (excuse me while I throw up) finger-licking, crotch-caressing PDA.

First up was Stevie J, who took Joseline, his phonetically challenged bae out on the town to butter her up enough to co-sign postponing their “big white wedding” plans in order to focus on getting her bookings up. No romance without finance, right?

A tingling sense of foreboding crept in when they discussed dismissing Joseline’s booking agent, Dawn, because she’d apparently been slacking on landing her client plumb gigs.

While Joseline was breaking the Federal Communication Commission’s record for the use of the word “bitch” in one sitting (to describe her longtime agent), she didn’t she give any thought at all to the possibility of things going really, really bad after canning the one person that knows all her business.

I mean, with all the skeletons in Steebie and Joseline’s closet, Dawn could turn all of Atlanta into a gossipy graveyard.

Sure enough, jilted Dawn met with ATL’s resident sleuth, Mimi Faust, to spill the beans about Stevie’s allegedly fake marriage, fake finances and overall shady dealings.

In sadder news, Lil Scrappy pulled up to Bambi’s house only to learn that the ...

Beyonce And Jay Z Fans Petition For A Full-Length ‘Run’ Movie

by 05/20/14

By all measures, the “trailer” that Jay Z and Beyonce released last week looked like it was for a real-life action film. With a bevy of explosions, a few high-speed chases, an all-star cast that included Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal and Blake Lively, and a highly volatile romance at the center of it all, fans were convinced they had a full-length Carter production on the way.

But then the words “Coming Never” flashed across the screen — making it clear that this was really all just to promote their upcoming On The Run Tour.

And now, as they pick up what’s left of their crushed dreams, fans are calling on Jay and Bey to make a full-length feature film out of “Run,” urging the couple via a petition on Change.org.

“After the release of Beyoncé and JAY Z’s ‘RUN’ trailer which was released on May 18th, 2014, millions of fans across the world became devestated after seeing ‘coming never’ at the end of the exciting and action packed ‘RUN’ trailer,” the petition reads. “We, the BeyHive and JAY Z fans would love for our two favorite artists to actually make a full length movie based off of the trailer. Why? It would most definitely sell millions, it’s also casted so perfectly (Don Cheadle, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean Penn) and most importantly, it would make your fans happy. We love you B and Jay, you two have to make this happen. Please, the world wants the ‘ON THE RUN’ movie!”

Molly Ringwald, Juliette Lewis Join ‘Jem And The Holograms’ Cast, But As Who?

by 05/20/14

Earlier on Tuesday (May 20), Deadline reported that Juliette Lewis had been cast in the upcoming “Jem and the Holograms” movie adaptation. Now, The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Molly Ringwald has been added to the roster, as well. While neither actress’ character has been revealed, I do know one thing is certain: We’re one step closer to showtime … Synergy.

But wait, who do you think Lewis and Ringwald will play? Shhhhh, your guesses are terrible. Let’s review what we already know: Relative unknowns Aubrey Peeples, Aurora Perrineau, Hayley Kiyoko and Stefanie Scott have been confirmed in the title roles, so Jem/Jerrica Benton and her band, the Holograms, are off the table. (“Step Up Revolution” star Ryan Guzman will play Jerrica’s boyfriend, Rio, though — with all due respect to both Lewis and Ringwald’s ranges — that casting choice never crossed my mind.)

After a lot of careful thought, I think I’ve finally figured out who each newly cast actress will play. Now remember, these casting decisions are truly, truly, truly outrageous speculative. Director John M. Chu is free to do what he pleases with the big-screen re-telling of the animated ’80s series, just as I’m free to send him terrifying Snapchats telling him how he ruined my life should he not heed my advice.

If There Is A God, Juliette Lewis Will Play Pizzazz.

Nicki Minaj Warns Barbz To Keep ‘Dat Ass’ In School On ‘Pills N Potions’ Release Day

by 05/20/14

Nicki Minaj wants you to hear her new single “Pills n Potions” when it drops on Wednesday morning, but she doesn’t want you to miss school for it! The YMCMB rapper hit Twitter to let fans know they could get a first listen between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. tomorrow (May 21), but unfortunately, that time conflicts with when a lot of Barbz are in class.

One fan complained:

And Ms. Minaj firmly replied:

Another not-quite-as-scholarly follower had a different response to the single release news:

To which the ‘Superbass’ rapper replied:

And then one of Nicki’s fans took it a step further, saying they were not going to school at all.

That tweet was too much for Minaj to bear:

It’s not too hard to see why Nicki expressed herself with those dramatic emojis though. She graduated from the prestigious art and performing arts school, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, in New York City where, “for once, I didn’t feel like there was something weird about me,” she revealed in a Teen Vogue interview last year.

Minaj really liked one fan’s idea on to get more of her peers to listen to “Pills n Potions”"

Looseleaf, markers and hashtags. Genius. Staying in school keeps you smart right, Nicki?

Next Time You See Tegan And Sara, They’ll Be Wearing Cupcakes As Bras

by 05/20/14

Tegan and Sara have their next few months booked full. Not only are they currently playing their Let’s Make Things Physical Tour, but come September, they’ll be supporting Katy Perry on her Prismatic World Tour. And when all of it is over, the glitter and thematics of the “Roar” singer might have rubbed off on the sister duo.

“I’ve been really excited lately that some of the biggest tours are female,” Sara told MTV at last weekend’s Hangout Festival, where the band played on the Alabama beach. “You know like Beyoncé going out, Katy Perry. We did a show with Taylor Swift last year that I was absolutely blown away; Miley Cyrus’ show looks crazy.”

The twins are grateful that Perry’s bringing them along, and maybe by the end of the trek, they’ll be more like the over-the-top pop star.

“They’re all taking out really alternative bands opening for them,” Tegan said. “I think that that’s really neat. A lot of people in pop music are giving props to and supporting some of the smaller indie pop musicians. It’s going to be fun. We’re going to hopefully learn a lot. Next time you see Tegan and Sara we’ll have, like, costumes, and be flying around.”

“Can’t wait to get in a harness,” Sara joked.

“Cupcakes as a bra,” Tegan laughed.

Five ‘Challenge’ Eliminations That Were Just As Heartbreaking As Camila’s

by 05/20/14

The dreaded Cameltdown considered, Camila is one of the soundest competitors in the “Challenge” game. Since her very first outing on “Cutthroat,” she’s secured elimination round wins like they’re obedient sheep, and proven she could go the distance, too, with a first-place finish on “Battle of the Exes.” Still, on last Thursday’s “Free Agentsepisode, “Looper” got the best of the vet, and though she pushed herself to the point of tears, Theresa sent her packing.

As Camila took the dreaded loser’s walk back to the cast’s house, it was abundantly clear how much her fellow competitors respected her, and how shocked they were to witness her go down. Her tragic defeat wasn’t the first the show has seen, though. Take a look back at five of the “Challenge”‘s most devastating eliminations, and tell us if there’s one we forgot that left you shaken!

Diem vs. Aneesa, “The Duel
Though Aneesa promised Diem she wouldn’t sentence her to The Duel, she eventually went back on her word to spare her partner-in-crime, Svetlana, from potential elimination. Diem felt totally betrayed, and though she was determined to walk away from “I Can” a winner, she couldn’t lift the 150 coffee bags she’d bet she could. Like Camila, Diem pushed herself to the point of waterworks, and bellowed screams that left the cast visibly disturbed.

Riff Raff’s Album Has An Official Release Date…And A Baby On The Cover

by 05/20/14 Riff Raff - Neon Icon

After months of delays, years of viral videos, and a lifetime’s worth of entertaining content, Riff Raff finally has an official release date for his Mad Decent debut album: June 24.

Neon Icon, which will be released through Diplo’s label, will hit stores this summer with production from Diplo himself, as well as Harry Fraud and DJ Mustard, among others. Guests include Mac Miller, Childish Gambino, Mike Posner, Slim Thug and Paul Wall.

The cover art, which Riff also released on Tuesday (May 20), is a sight to behold. It differs from an image he released late last year, that was reportedly the album’s cover, but captures much of the rapper’s essence: it’s fun, quirky, odd and loud. With a baby in one arm and a dog in the other, the Houston native flashes a smile at the camera as his head is surrounded, fittingly, by neon lighting.

Check out the full tracklist below, as well as the video for the project’s first single, “How To Be The Man” — which kind of serves as a behind-the-scenes look a the album cover shoot.

1. “iNTRODUCiNG THE iCON”
2. “KOKAYNE”
3. “WETTER THAN TSUNAMi”
4. “JODY 3 MOONS (SKIT)”
5. “VERSACE PYTHON”

Ciara And Future Had A Baby Boy, And Named Him Future

by 05/20/14

The rumors are true: Ciara did give birth to her and Future’s child on Monday.

And your hopes and wishes have come true, too: They named him Future. Future Zahir Wilburn, to be exact, according to CiCi’s Instargram.

Celebrity baby names are often a bit out of left field, and because of that get scrutinized. But can you think of a more perfect name for their baby? I can’t.

Congrats to the new parents.

‘Teen Wolf’ Stars’ Perviest Fan Gifts: Panties, Foot Massages, Hairy Action Figures

by 05/20/14

Few MTV shows have sparked a more outspoken, devoted fan base than “Teen Wolf.” Actually, we’re having trouble thinking of a single one — looks like you win, #TeenWolfies! (Note to “Awkward” followers: Step it up! How’s about a MattyCom?)

Three seasons deep, and the cast members — as well as the characters they play — regularly receive marriage proposals, not to mention artistic tributes, like that memorial song for Allison Argent that made us blow snot-bubbles, or the numerous arrow tattoos sketched in her memory. Add to that the constant storyline debates and a slew of Etsy craftables, and we’ve got ourselves a bona fide army of loyal worshipers.

So, it’s not surprising that many of them would shower the series’ actors with gifts. The types of gifts some have offered, however, are a little suspect.

From FedExed panties to a miniature Scott McCall doll rockin’ real nipple hair, check out the clip below to hear what the gang has to say about their favorite fan prezzies. Dylan O’Brien basically takes the words right out of our mouths: “Sometimes fans are way more creative than I could ever be, which is really cool because it inspires me.”

+ If you were to give a “Teen Wolf” cast member anything under the sun, what would it be? Leave us a comment (and a gift, if you’re so inclined.)

Kardashians Are Taking Over Paris Before The Kimye Wedding: See The Pics

by 05/20/14

The Kardashians are taking over Paris.

With the Kim and fiancé Kanye West set to say their “I do’s” in just a few days, the reality TV family have been making their arrivals in the City of Light. With the paps tagging along of course, the clan are doing plenty of pre-wedding prep and some shopping.

The bride-to-be was spotted out with adorable daughter North West and sister Kourtney at the Givenchy store on Tuesday (May 20). Kim and North color-coordinated their looks, with Kanye’s baby girl looking beautiful in a black dress, while Kim rocked a black pencil skirt and a nude sleeveless top.

Also caught hitting up Givenchy was little sister Kendall Jenner, who visited Kim earlier in the day at her Paris apartment, along with sister Kylie and mom Kris.

And speaking of Mama Kardashian, she’s been making it her mission to take in the sights. On Monday, she visited the Eiffel Tower, where she went on a carousel ride and let the world know that the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” stars were taking over, captioning the photo, “Oh Hiiiiiiiiiii PARIS!!!!!

Oh Hiiiiiiiiiii PARIS!!!!! 🗼❤ We're HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Love on a merry-go-round!!!! #nightsinparis #herecomesthebride #KanyeheartsKim ❤🎠❤
