| "Basketball Wife" Royce Reed Deletes Her Twitter & Facebook Pages...Kinda Posted: 12 May 2012 09:53 AM PDT Royce and her dramatics. Last night, the "Basketball Wives" star got pissy with her followers and pulled a Nicki Minaj drama queen stunt and deleted her Twitter. But then she came back...of course. But has seemingly left again. And it sounds like she is pretty over the show, as we all are.
Deets inside... After the foolywangery that was her public breakup with her cheatin' ass boyfriend Dez Briscoe, and the epic fight with her daddy where he was reading her like a a prude mama and her Fifty Shades of Grey book, Royce has taken another dramatic twitter action. Apparently she was over the "toxicity" of people, so last night the reality chick up and deleted her Twitter (and Facebook page) all together. And said this beforehand: @Roycelr: Toxic people make for a toxic life... Remove them even if it's hard. U will feel better & be better in the end! @Roycelr: Deleting my twitter in 3days!!! I appreciate all of u! Thk u for all ur love & support @Roycelr: Actually deleting it now!!! :o) Bye Tweeps! xoxoxo Meanhile, her ex Dez was busy tweeting Lil Boosie lyrics as the rapper had just gotten freed from jail (and the lyrics were a simultaneous swipe at Royce too we're sure--y'all know how youngins like to play games): @DezBriscoe89 "Mama told me when I was yung that ima break hearts because I'm too cute for just one" Boosie Anyways, hours later, Royce's page popped back up and she insinuated that the VH1 gods forced her hand in returning: I'm am back. Not by choice. I'll be gone again after the reunion. #MovingAlong @VH1 #BBW #BasketballWives #RoyceReed #ThisShitIsCrazy! Oddly enough, her page is back to M.I.A. today. Maybe it's about that time to leave the reality drama...and weekly boyfriends...and focus on your kiddie. Just maybe.  |
| EXCLUSIVE: LisaRaye McCoy DISHES Motherly Wisdom On Handling Men, Discipline And PARENTAL CONTRACTS Posted: 12 May 2012 08:55 AM PDT To celebrate Mother's Day weekend, the white-loving Hollywood diva and star of VH1's scripted series "Single Ladies," LisaRaye McCoy, chatted up TheYBF.com about motherhood. And she offered advice on her own journey...which is no stranger to controversy. Also, she told us about her "parental contract" which might be a nifty little tip other moms can use....
As the mother of 22-year-old model Kai Morae, Chicago native LisaRaye has balanced her own career with good old fashioned parenting. And she's learned that mothering has its rewards and told us it's "the unconditional love I feel for my daughter." But it also presents its challenges. The divorced dramedy actress says the hardest part about being a mother is discipline, telling us: "When I've had to put my daughter on punishment, it physically hurts me." Here's more of what LisaRaye shared.... On relationships with men & love "I tell my daughter you have to beware of all types of people. And she has to be aware of herself because there are going to be failures and downfalls in life. Period. But I think the greatest preparation for that is experience. The best thing is to make sure your child has a strong enough character that pitfalls won't knock her down and take the breath from her. And she will know how to pick herself up." On communication "I had those sidebar talks with my daughter about sex and birth control and doctor appointments. I think because I'm a mother who's in the public eye, I have to stay current on what's going on. It makes me kinda "cooler." I'm saying that to say I'm more "in the know" with my daughter. We have a friendship and speak about anything. Having your kids trust you and be able to come to you about anything is important." On discipline and contracts "My daughter has lived a privileged lifestyle by virtue of being LisaRaye's daughter. And sometimes that's a downfall because you have to learn how to get it for yourself. So for me, I had to sit her down and say--I'm going to make a contract between you and I. This contract will say what I will do for you and these are the things I am expecting in return. I did this because life is a contract. Everything you do from your first car to your first house is a contract. So you have to abide by the boundaries of the contract or there will be disciplinary strikes against you. And it works for us." The idea of a contract with your child sounds like a great nugget of wisdom to pass along to parents. Sweet! PS: Season 2 of "Single Ladies" premieres Monday, May 28th at 9/8c on VH1.

See the fun pics inside.... Roc and Roe, perhaps two of the most pampered tots in the music industry outside of Blue Ivy, celebrated their first birthday recently and it was a stylish affair.

If you take anything away from this episode, it should be the importance of prioritizing, and knowing when to make the best decisions for yourself, your health and your family."  |

| TV FAB: Is Tami Roman LEAVING "Basketball Wives?" Posted: 11 May 2012 04:56 PM PDT
Could "BBW" firestarter Tami Roman be calling it quits? In a recent tweet, it alluded to her possibly making a move to greener, safer pastures. Read the tweet inside. After the recent boycott and petition, Tami Roman might be getting out of "BBW" while the getting is good. Although NOTHING has been said officially, Tami had an interesting exchange with a Twitter "fan" recently. The fan/follower tweeted, I hope on the next season of basketball they bring another hoodrat bitch to the show that's not gonna back down from @TamiRoman bully ass So what did the "bully" say in response? Tami tweeted, @CallMeCASH_ I actually hope they do well next season-I wish all the BBW's the best of luck. Then another follower asked, @TamiRoman @CallMeCASH_ you aren't doin the show anymore, why? I hope not cause of the bad feedback. She didn't respond to the last tweet so one has to wonder if she was wishing the "BBW" stars luck because she won't be around? Time will tell.....

Henson. Get the deets inside..... Gorgeous actor Michael Ealy stopped by Wendy's couch this morning where he shockingly revealed that he DID NOT get all the girls growing up. Michael said he had really bad skin as a child and most of the the girls ignored him. Then Wendy talked about his chemisty with co-star Taraji P. Henson and he jokingly said after the movie Taraji STALKED him a little bit! He chalked up rumors of their romance to their chemisty and ability to act on screen.

| Posted: 11 May 2012 11:40 AM PDT Well this ought to be interesting. The family of the late Whitney Houston has nabbed a reality docu-series through Lifetime to showcase how families heal themselves through major loss and tough times. And it's starring Pat & Gary Houston, Cissy Houston & even Bobbi Kristina.
Deets inside... According to Deadline.com, Lifetime's Exec. VP announced today that the network has picked up The Houston Family Chronicles (working title), an all-new docu-series that will follow the lives of the late Whitney Houston’s family, led by Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law and manager, and including Pat’s daughter Rayah, Whitney’s brother Gary, daughter Bobbi Kristina and mother, Cissy Houston. The network ordered 10 hour long episodes premiering later this year. Not sure how I feel about this, but here's the synopsis: The Houston Family Chronicles follows those closest to the pop music icon as they try to pick up the pieces after her untimely death. Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law, manager and most trusted confidant, manages the business and estate of the beloved singer and her most prized possession, her daughter Bobbi Kristina. The series will follow Pat and her husband, Gary, Whitney Houston’s brother, as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she relied on the most, her Mother. A mother to her own teenage daughter, Rayah, Pat understands the difficulty of raising a young woman in a world where social media and peer pressure are the norm. As she tries to guide her own daughter into womanhood, Pat also has the responsibility of raising Bobbi Kristina, who, while trying to move forward with life and make decisions about her future, must also learn to cope with such a devastating loss. With the certainty of a microscopic lens focused on this young woman and her every move, Pat, Gary and their tight-knit group of family and friends are committed to seeing that Bobbi Kristina can grow and experience life unscathed. A true believer in the bond that women share called sisterhood, and a self proclaimed “woman’s woman,” Pat enlists the help of her and Whitney’s inner circle, including Grammy Award winner Dionne Warwick and Gospel legend CeCe Winans, to assist her in such difficult times. And Pat says she's doing this to help other families heal themselves:
Really? Working on this for years? I guess. Will you be watching?  |
