| UH OH! Tamar Braxton THREATENS TO SUE K. Michelle OVER "Muppet" Comment & "Jumping Gates" Threat! Posted: 27 Jun 2012 09:33 AM PDT Tamar Braxton and K. Michelle are quickly becoming enemies are legal threats are a-flying. Tamar, who apparently doesn't take kindly to being called a muppet, just filed a "Cease And Desist" order over K. Michelle trashing her...on Twitter. Deets inside...
"Braxton Family Values" star Tamar Braxton issued a "Cease And Desist" order from her New York lawyers yesterday over comment and threats she alleges "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star K. Michelle has made. When "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" premiered last week, Memphis native K. Michelle made several allegations that her ex-manager and ex-boyfriend abused her mentally and physically. And also stole from her. Without saying record exec Memphitz's name, folks knew exactly who she was speaking of since he played both roles in her life, and she also made similar allegations over a year ago on Twitter. Tamar, at the same time the show aired, tweeted to fans that people need to just let the "girl" live her fairytale. While tamar is good friends with Memphitz's wife, Toya (and also appeared on her show "Tiny & Toya"), many assumed she was taking up for her girl's husband and accusing K. Michelle of lying. K. Michelle then went on TT Torrez's show and said she "jumps gates" and Tamar looks like a muppet and needs to fall back. Shots fired? According to cease & desist letter, Tamar was actually speaking about Toya. Tamar claims she was defending her friend against people attacking her about her husband and their Paris vacation they were on at the time.
The bulk of the document reads: So basically, Tamar is pissy that K. Michelle threatened to fight her and called her a "muppet!" You know that muppet comment did not go down well at all! Now Tamar is demanding a public apology and money to hire a "reputation management firm" to clear up her good name.
For now, K. Michelle has not responded....but Tweets is Watching!

| Matt Barnes Talks Groupies & Bathroom Sex With Gloria In BLEU Magazine Posted: 27 Jun 2012 08:01 AM PDT
Matt Barnes is covering the new issue of the men's fashion magazine BLEU. And the L.A. Laker is dishing all about his on-again off-again "Basketball Wives LA" star girlfriend Gloria Govan...and why he's unimpressed by the groupies in the league.
Peep his cover and London bathroom sex worthy quotables inside.... The Laker forward is posing on the cover of the new issue of BLEU, in what looks like his own gear out his own closet. During his cover interview, Matt gave a little insight into how he and his babies' mom Gloria get down. On ignoring the groupie chicks around the league "In the league, women come a dime a dozen. Not to sound stuck-up or anything, but that's just how it is. At some point you have to wake up and realize what your priorities are. Some guys wake up sooner than others. I woke up and I realized what was important to me." On getting jealous of Gloria's relationships with other men during their breakups "You like to go into a situation saying yes we are always going to be together forever and what's mine is yours, what's yours is mine, but sometimes it doesn't work out like that." "Even when Gloria and I were dating other people, when people would say things about her, it bothered me. Even though we weren't together it was something that made me mad you know? It's different when they are talking about the mother of your children." On how he and Gloria stay sexually happy "So sometimes that means middle of the day sex. Sometimes that means after lunch you go and have sex in the bathroom. We do things outside the norm. I think we were in London last year in a really fancy nice restaurant and....the bathroom." Matt is also prepping for his annual basketball camp with EA Sports for kids in the Bay.  | ||||

She added:
Though she didn't reveal the album title or a release date, she did share that she's feeling like a caged animal and ready to be released.
Listen to Alicia's message here:
And on late night...... Walking in to a standing ovation, LeBron James stopped by David Letterman's chat fest last night. And since David was a "hater" towards LeBron when he left Cleveland, he hilariously grilled him about his decision. David (referring to the 2012 Championship) said, "Well, now that you've got this out of your system, are you ready to go back to Cleveland and play some ball?" Lebron took the jab in stride saying, "Right now, I'll play no ball right now." When asked how life has changed since the big win, he said, "I went from being ringless on Wednesday night to, you know, having a ring on Thursday night....so it changed that."
Watch the clip here:
Part 2:
Be sure to catch LeBron, along with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on ABC's "The View" today!

| DEEP SIGH: "Real Mistresses Of Atlanta" Foolywangery Hits The Net Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:36 PM PDT If you were ever wondering where the line between exploitation and pure entertainment lies....this new "Real Mistresses of Atlanta" show could be the prototype for unnecessary foolishness showcased just for the sake of ratings and shock value. These people on this show can't believe the bullsh*t they're spitting out their mouths themselves. But anything for fame right?
Check out which demeaning things a white video chick has to say about black women, how a stripper justifies why she's a better woman than most, and how other self proclaimed mistresses move in ATL.... Apparently, this 8+ minute trailer is being shopped to different networks for the show to be picked up. I have a few guesses on who will happily pick up (and I'm not even talking about BET) content that shows black women and others in the worst light possible...and a white woman who vocally demeans black women as well. Sarah Oliver is a white "video vixen"/booty model who takes the cameras into her plastic surgery appointments to document her ass shots. And she explains why she only dates married men. She also called black women's genitalia "gross" and says, "A brown skin pu**y with a pink inside...who would want that?!" I guess white women who purposely parade themselves as side hos (that's essentially how Sarah describes herself) and demean ALL black women's genitalia is OK for creator Memphitz Wright and whoever is producing this....as long as it brings in the viewers. Two thumps up. Maliah Michelle is a proud stripper who has dated several celebs...married and single. And she dishes on all the material things she gets...so it justifies why she's a better person than most apparently. Sadly, she's the most articulate one, but is clearly misguided. MJ is trying to become a rapper apparently...and we're going to leave it at that. Brandan speaks on the athletes, actors and other celebrity men he gets down with. And Rosee Divine is a French "model" who is at the beck and call of NBA players and celebrity men. The end quote from the trailer voiced by one of the cast members: "If a b*tch got a pu**y and she aint got a million dollars, she needs to see a psychiatrist." Glorifying mistresses and those who make a career off selling ass for a pair of Louboutins? Gotta love the progress. Keep it classy y'all.  | ||||

Controversial reality star Mimi Faust chatted it up with V103 radio personality Egypt about "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," her relationship with Stevie J, and what she thinks about Joseline Hernandez and Karlie Redd. Deets inside....
Stevie J's baby momma is finally having her say OFF CAMERA about the drama being exposed on VH1's hit show "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." She talked to radio personality Egypt about her business deal with Stevie J (where he basically tried to pay her off for his affairs), the house he gave her (she gave it back) and she revealed they "may not" be a couple anymore. See the highlights: Egypt: So I watched your face when you found out on camera that Joseline said she was having a thing with him (Stevie J), that she was in love with him. How did that feel in the middle of a room with people and why do it?
Egypt: Ok. What is it about this man? Just keep it real. What is it about him that has these women going crazy? Because it’s not the singing- what is it? Is it the… pow pow Mimi: If you watch the first episode I clearly stated I have never met a… that has made me do cartwheels. I clearly said that in the first episode. What I think what it is for me the connection that him and I had and also I’m just flat out he lies to me a lot. I mean that’s just the bottom line. He’ll say one thing to me and he’ll say one thing to her or whoever else but and im not with him when he’s out with anyone else. I only know what goes on when we’re together. Egypt: Most of us have either been there or have been there, where we love someone so much they tell us the right things we wanna hear. They lie to us just enough for us to say okay and sleep at night. But now you’ve seen it on tv. What has changed now that you actually see it for what it is. Mimi: A lot has changed. You guys, when you’re in a relationship and things happen, it’s a process of getting out. One thing will happen and you just don’t leave your family because one thing happened. So it’s definitely a process of a transition and process stage that you go through so that’s what I’m going through right now. Egypt: Is it that you want to keep your family together? I know you have a two-year-old. Mimi: I would love to keep my family together. But at this point I don’t see that happening so I’m willing to just let this do what it do. Egypt: I was a little upset with you last night when you decided to take a commission of Stevie’s business in exchange…well it felt like you were accepting all of the mess that had happened on the prior episode. That everything was forgiven as long as you got 10% or 20% What did you get? 10 or 20? Mimi: No no no no no. What it was was I wanted to be more involved in the business. It wasn’t I was accepting a payoff. I actually wanted to be involved. If I put in this work and I have been dealing with this this long I want to be more hands-on with the situation as far as making the money and everything that goes along with it. Egypt: There was one thing I wanted to address. You said Karlie last night surprised you on the show. Why? Mimi: She kinda threw me under the bus last night. Joseline came to see her and it was a gym scene and she told Joseline that I was talking about her or something along those lines and said it more than once and I’m like were we watching the same show?!
