| Meagan Good: My Fiancé & I Have NOT Gotten It In...Yet! Posted: 24 May 2012 09:53 AM PDT Now that actress Meagan Good--who is well known for playing every vixen film role known to man--is marrying a minister, she wants the world to know that she and her fiance, DeVon Franklin, haven't had sex yet. The two have remained celibate for a year...because they're saving it for their wedding day.
Deets inside... Even though her name is synonymous with sexy video vixen film roles, industry insiders tell us Meagan has always been a "religious good girl" in real life. So it may not (or may) come as a surprise that she decided to become a born again virgin (we don't know for a fact she sexed up a former lover before--but we're rolling with the safe assumption she's not a complete virgin). The 30-year-old Think Like A Man & "Californication" actress told Life & Style: "Our wedding night will be the first time we're actually together." Now that she's set to become a first lady of the church of Seventh Day Adventists...she's gotta put that best holy foot forward. As for how she knew DeVon, whose day job as a SONY film exec led him to meeting Meagan on the set of Jumping The Broom, was the one:
The gorgeous Meagan didn't give their wedding date, but she did reveal the plans for her big Malibu nuptials:
Sounds beautiful!  |
| WHAT'S BEEF: Lil' Wayne TWEETS "Fuk Pusha T" In Response To "Exodus 23:1" DISS Posted: 24 May 2012 09:16 AM PDT Lil' Wayne doesn't take too kindly to folks dissing YMCMB so the captain of the crew recently lashed out against Pusha T for dissing Drake on his "Exodus 23:1." Find out what Pusha T said that set Weezy off inside...... G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T has set off a firestorm in the hip hop community with his harsh words that take aim against Drake. In his controversial song “Exodus 23:1,” that was produced by The Dream, he raps, “Beef is when you hide behind them other ni**as/ But they ain’t killas, they ain’t pulling them triggas/ Fuck ni**as.” He continues, “Contract all fucked up/ I guess that means you all fucked up/ You signed to one ni**a, that’s signed to another ni**a, that’s signed to three ni**as/ Now that’s bad luck/ Damn that shit even the odds now/ You better off selling this hard now/ You call it living out your dreams/ You can’t fly without your wings.” So how did Weezy respond?
Sigh.....did Weezy have to attack the fans too? This isn't the first YMCMB/G.O.O.D. Music beef as Drake and Common recently went at it too. Maybe Pusha's just living by the very Motto YMCMB lives.
In case you missed it, here's "Exodus 23:1"
Yolo. EXTRAS: 1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE HEAVY D!  |
