It's Hard Times Out Here... NBA Player Delonte West Works At Furniture Store During Lockout!

This NBA lockout better get resolved as soon as possible, because some of the players are feeling it in their pockets. Case in point, Delonte West, free agent (rumored former boyfriend of Lebron James' mother Gloria)- The Washington Post is reporting that Delonte is working at Regency Furniture Store in Maryland. I follow him on Twitter so, yes it is accurate. Dude posted pics and is blessed to have a job. Talk about putting your pride all the way to the left.

On Wednesday night, the Prince George’s County native put some surprising news out on Twitter: “Applied at Regency Furniture, need a 2nd job to stay afloat during the lockout.” And then just minutes later, “I am now an official employee.”

West has been paid about $14 million, and last season he made a little more than $1 million with the Boston Celtics.

Check out a couple of pics of Delonte at work. Whatever it takes. By any means necessary!

Naomi Campbell's Fiance Buys Her Eco-Friendly House! Stuff That Rich People Can Do!

They say money can make you laugh or cry. Can we say that Naomi Campbell is laughing like a muthaf*cka right now because she is a lucky gal. Her boyfriend, Russian billionaire, Vladislav Doronin, gifted the supermodel with a 25-room eco-friendly retreat home for her birthday. Get this, the Turkish island home that rests on Isla Playa de Cleopatra is in the shape of the Eye of Horus:

"the glass dome-shaped house was designed by architect Luis de Garrido, and “is completely energy and water self-sufficient and features an amazing indoor landscaped terrace.”

It is also shaped like the eye of ancient Egyptian deity, Horus.”

The ish rich folks can do.. Smh... so basically I'm dying poor because I don't see something like this on the horizon for me.

Our Girlfriend Tracee Ellis Ross Covers Jet Magazine!

Tracee Ellis Ross covers this month's issue of Jet Magazine. She is gearing up for her television comeback in the new BET show "Reed Between The Lines" which is set to premiere on BET on October 11. The show co-stars Malcom Jamal Warner. Can't wait to peep it. Love me some Tracee!
"Her banging body might become a new obsession for her many admirers, but for now, when you type her name into Google, the top search is for “Tracee Ellis Ross hair.” “I have so much hair it’s extraordinary,” she says, admitting no one is more obsessed than she is. “You could take half the hair on my head and cover another person’s head.” She grew out her relaxer in high school and has tested so many styles, serums and conditioners that she might put out a book and a line of hair products one day. Not a fan of bone straight hair— “I’m Diana Ross’ child… big hair is what I come from”— she has learned one important lesson in natural hair manage ment: “You gotta respect the curls,” she says. “I work for them. I can’t tell them what to do.”

Trial Of Dr. Conrad Murray! Day 2! Security Guard and Personal Assitant Testify!

Yesterday, Michael Jackson's head of security, Faheem Muhammed and personal assistant, Michael Amir Williams testified in Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial. Read on what both men had to say:

Faheem Muhammed, head of Jackson's security detail, took the stand Wednesday afternoon in Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial. He was among the first to arrive in the bedroom on the day Jackson died. He testified that when he saw Jackson, he appeared to be dead.

"His eyes were open and his mouth was slightly opened," said Muhammed

"Paris was on the ground, balled up, crying,'' Muhammed said.

Prince "had a shocked look," he added.

There was a lot going on, with his family arriving and people trying to sneak in," Muhammad said

Muhammed also testified that Murray asked him for a ride from the hospital after they learned of Jackson's death. The doctor made a similar request of Jackson's personal assistant at the hospital, according to testimony earlier Wednesday.

Assistant Testifies About Call, Encounter With Murray

Michael Amir Williams, who began work as Jackson's assistant in mid-2007, was asked about a phone call he received from a "frantic" Murray as Jackson was dying in the bedroom. Williams was in downtown Los Angeles at the time, about 30 to 40 minutes from the Carolwood Drive mansion.

"He said, 'Get here right away, Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction. Get somebody up here immediately,''' Williams said.

Williams told a security guard, Alberto Alvarez, to go to Jackson's bedroom.

"I told him, 'I don't know what's going on, but you have to go inside the house,'" said Williams. "I remember him walking, and I said, 'Are you there, yet.' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Well run, hurry.'"

Williams later arrived at the mansion to see Jackson being loaded into an ambulance. The first thing he asked about was the location of Jackson's children, who were soon brought to a car that would follow the ambulance to the hospital, Williams said.

"It was real frantic," Williams said. "I got there and saw the gurney coming down the stairs. I remember seeing (Murray) talking to medics."

He was asked to describe Murray's physical condition.

"Frantic," Williams responded.

He then rode to the hospital with Jackson's three children -- Prince, Paris and Blanket -- and their nanny. Once he arrived at UCLA Medical Center, hospital staff took them to a private room. After learning that Jackson had been pronounced dead, he said Murray approached him in a hallway.

"We were making small talk about how horrible this is, and he said, 'There's some cream in Michael's room that he wouldn't want the world to know about,'" said Williams. "He requested that I give him a ride back to the house so the world wouldn't know about the cream."

Williams denied Murray's request and said he concocted a story about police taking his keys.

MJ must be turning in his grave when they brought up that bleaching cream. Trial will resume today!

Drake Unveils Album Cover!

Drake unveiled the cover of his sophmore album entitled Take Care. The album is set to drop on October 24. He posted the following message to his fans on his website:

Feels like it’s been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24…I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

See you soon.

Shots Are Fired Back! Evelyn Lozada Unleashes! Metta World Peace Claps Back!

Never one to stay quiet, TV personality, Evelyn Lozada responded to Kimsha Artest who tried to come for Shaunie O'neal's neck the other day. Evelyn took to Twitter two nights ago, to respond to Ms. Artest.

I'm not taking shots either, but some of the shit I read is just plain stupid! I'm being a realest & keeping it 100! Blame your self! #Boom

FYI - I'm not kissing anyone's ass or vice versa! I been friends with Shaunie for 6 years now, way before BBall Wives existed! #Loyal

I think it's ridiculous 2 place blame on someone if your scenes didn't make the cut! Everything we say doesn't! Some more than others.

**CLEARING THINGS UP** @ShaunieONeal does not have anything 2 do with the LA show!If your scenes were edited then that means u were a NMFF!

Welp... there you have it folks.

And, on another Twitter page, Metta World Peace formely known as Ron Artest defended his wife:

My wife is not [on] Facebook The media is reporting. She loves shaunie oneal and all the cast on basketball show. Don’t believe any negative comments you here about Kimsha Artest. She is happy to be working with viacom and vh1.

Kimsha Artest does not like drama so that’s why yal have not seen her on the show. She doesn’t want to be seen representing females falsely. @kimshaartest is happy on the show and is staying out of drama. Follow her here. She has no drama with shaunie or anyone….

Kimsha Artest on Facebook is fake. I will not post her real fb. But that one is fake!!

I will never get why this guy changed his name.. smh... The Kimsha Artest's FB page was suddenly deleted (side-eye).

All the foolery was found via Twitter

Shaunie O'Neal Speaks BBWives MIA Season 4, LA Cast On Wendy Williams!

Shaunie O'Neal stopped by the Wendy Williams show- in a two-part interview, she discusses Season 4 of the Miami edition, what she thinks of the LA cast, and her perception of the way Black women are portrayed on the show.


Is Evelyn coming back or not? In my opinion, she'll be back... I believe she was having a moment and in true Evelyn fashion, Twitter was her outlet. Shaunie you haven't met Kimsha. I doubt she wants to meet you. Please stay away because a bish is piiiiiiiiiiiiiissed!

Shots Have Been Fired! Kimsha Artest Unleashes!

Boy oh boy, nobody better not mess with Metta World Peace's (Ron Artest) wife or life partner as she describes herself. If you've been keeping up with Basketball Wives LA, you will notice that Kimsha Artest who hails from Jamaica Queens, NY has only made an appearance on one episode, barely a second one. The social network sites have been blowing up because folks have been wondering what happened to Kimsha and Tanya Williams??? Kimsha who is known to keep it REAL has been blasting VH1, producers including Ms. Shaunie O'Neal, Miami and LA castmates on her FB fan page. She's not holding her tongue. Check out mama's FB timeline:

I'm getting asked a lot of questions. I ain't got time for the bullshit. It is what the fuck it is. Ya'll need to take it to Ms Shaunie. I will keep my mouth zipped right now

We sexy & We don't give a fuck. #TEAMKEEPITREAL

this dumb bitch........

all yall bitches who aint like what i have to write can kiss my ass and leave the page. sick and tired of dumb bitches fronting. like that miami hoe who was bumping pocket books with Tank on her bday. FUCK OUTTA HERE! (That's a direct shot at Jen from BBWives Miami who was spotted at her BDay celebration with singer Tank)

i see they cut me off the show and left buckle ass bitches. shaunie oneal can kiss my ass. she kisses ass to that evelyn bitch and gets the bitch who fucked her husband and cut her a cheque but cant handle a real woman. FOH! (I thought she was down with the Govan sisters o_0)

Ms. Thang is not holding back I see. "Bumping pocket books and buckle *ss b*tches." It's a must that I retain those lines. But on the real, I doubt very much that Shaunie wanted the Govan sisters on the show especially Laura but she's not the only producer therefore she doesn't have much say. Going in on Evelyn and Jen. Yikes! (Draya voice)! What did they do to you ma? Druuuhma with a capital D! Sidebar- who the h*ll told Kimsha to wear that dress? That body...hmmm...

On another note, as far as Tanya Williams, who also has not been seen since Episode 2, last night while BBWivesLA was on, she was tweeting, promoting something else. I asked her about that. Check out our exchange:

Dang, #BBwivesLA is on @ImTanyaWilliams promoting something else. She really seperates herself from the negative bullsh*t

@Mitch_Aug I didnt even think about that. Even if I was on, I think watching #President would trump any Basketball Wive show. UR thoughts?

She's in a lane of her own...

And The Skeletons Start To Come Out... BBWLA Jackie Christie's Edition!

For those of you that follow Basketball Wives LA, this past Monday, cast member Jackie Christie married her husband Doug Christie, for the hundredth time. If you missed the episode, visit VH1 right here for a recap. She bores me ya'll, sorry. No shade! She always wants to put something on the table, always wants to talk about something. STFU bish! Anyway, during the ceremony that was held in a room in Vegas; only the cast members were present; Matt Barnes was the best man.... Ummm.. ok. Moving right along. Jackie's mother who was the maid of honor couldn't make it to Vegas due to illness (she passed away this past week- RIP) therefore she had to be skyped in. Ok, if if it's so important for your mama to be there and she's dying of cancer, why did you need to go to Vegas? Why couldn't you just stay where you were at? You could have gotten married in your mama's hospital room. #sideeye. Well get this, it seems that Ms. Christie has some skeletons in her closet and her eldest daughter Ta’kari Lee is putting on blast. Check out a an excerpt from her blog.

The Scene About My Grandma and Her Cancer..SmH.. I am Not Doubting That She Was Sad About My Grandmas Condition…But I Wonder If Tanya Talking About Cherishing The Memories U Have With The People U Love Hit A nerve For Her… She Knows Like My Grandma And I Know – My Grandma Was Always Being Disrespected and Treated Badly… And The Same Way I compare My Relationship With My Mom Like Being In A Violent Relationship – Although My Mom Was NOT Physically Abusive… She Was Very Mentally and Verbally Abusive – Not Just To Us Kids But My Grandma As Well… She Would Lash Out At Us And Make Us Feel So Low Then Try To Correct It With Other Things..Like An Abusive Husband Beating Your Ass And Then Buying U Flowers Or Gifts..

I Can’t Help But Think Back To The Many Times I Watched My Grandma Boo Whoo Over Some Of The Things My Mom Said And Did To Her.. And My Moms Tears Don’t Compare To My Grandmas Pain.. I have Begged my grandma..”Slap The Broad and Tell Her U R HER Mother “… Or Had To Stand Up To My Mom MYSELF For The Both of Us… And Even In Sickness – She Hasn’t Made The Move To Make A Better Relationship With Her Mom.. And That’s Why My Terminally Ill Grandma and Sister (The One Who Dedicates Her Life To Taking Care Of My Grandma) Left My Mother A Letter And Drove With My Cousin And Her Two Babies From California To Washington.. My Grandma Is On Oxygen And Very Weak And My sister and Cousin Rescued Her Like She Asked… U Guys Have To Hear The Story Which Will Follow This Blog…

My Mom Freaking Out asking Tanya Who The Fuck R U… Was Comical..LOL I Was Yelling At The TV Screen Like Who The Fuck R U????????… LOL.. A LiAR…

I Also Like How My Mother Introduced Herself And Mentioned I Have Three Kids A 21 Yr. Old Daughter, a 18 yr. Old Daughter, and 10 yr. Old Son… What About “I’m Also A Proud Grandma Of Two – A Two Yr. Old and A 9 month Old?”- Or R U Not Proud?? Keep It Real.. I Don’t Believe In Abortion – Grandma Raised Me – Knowing If U Fuck For Em U Fend For Em…Do U Feel Otherwise?

Looking Forward To Next Week and Believe Me It Will B Alot More To Discuss As The Season Goes On…

U Won’t Believe Some Of The Things That Were Going On Behind The Camera..

Well, well, well, Ms. Christie who talks about Draya like a dog, thinks Tanya is bougie but yet her ish ain't too kosher. Smh... Anyway, to read more about Ta'Kari, visit her blog.

Floyd Mayweather Has No Respect For The Seniors!

It went down last night, the Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz fight. Most of us were stunned by the outcome of the fight. Not because Mayweather won but more so of the sucker punch (my opinion) that was thrown by him. Keep in mind, I ride for Mayweather but I still think it was a cheap shot. On the other hand, Ortiz should know better- when you're in that ring, protect yourself at all times. One of the most entertaining bits of the night is when commentator Larry Merchant interviews Mayweather and corners him about the "sucker punch" and Pretty Boy Floyd goes off by telling Merchant:" You never give me a fair shake. HBO needs to fire you. You ain’t shit” and walked away.

Larry responded, ‘If I was 50 years younger, I would kick your ass’. Funny sh*t.
This line immediatly became a trending topic on Twitter. Check out a few tweets.

Kirstie Alley Sheds 100 lbs!

Actress Kirstie Alley confirmed during New York's Fashion Week that she has lost a total of 100 pounds and is a size 4. She strutted her stuff at the Zang Toi show looking dynamite. Wooooooooow.

The Dancing with the Stars runner-up has majorly slimmed down since her stint on the ABC show. "I've lost 100 pounds. "I feel like I'm back in my element," the 60-year-old said. "I honestly didn't even realize what I looked like."

"Before Dancing with the Stars, I bought these dresses from size 14 to 4," she explained. "[They were] all the same dress, and I said, 'You know what I really want? I really wanna be in this dress in a 4!'"

So does the actress -- who says she is indeed now a size 4! -- want to follow up her weight loss with a little nip and tuck? "I haven't had plastic surgery but here's the reason: People do plastic surgery to make you look younger," she said. "I don't think it makes you look younger. I think it can make you look weirder."
Get it Miss Kirstie!

Miss France Throws Shade At Miss Angola!

The shade is extra thick around these parts. Miss France is a littly pissy that she didn't take home the 2011 Miss Universe crown but instead it was the beautiful, Leila Lopez of Angola. In an interview with a French magazine this is what she said:

“She was the only girl I didn’t know very well. We didn’t see her much; she was very discreet. She was often in jeans and not wearing makeup. We were all surprised by her win. Many girls made efforts that were not rewarded. I don’t know, something is missing in her temperament. The fact that the competition was held in Brazil surely played a role.”

Bye girl! Talk about a sore loser. "She was often in jeans and not wearing makeup" And you wore a bunch and you didn't win. GTFOH! What does that have to do with the price of rice in China? The girl won fair and square so please have a seat mam. Better luck, next time.

Swizzy Caught Cheating?

Well, well, looky, looky, is there trouble in paradise? According to Bossip.com, Swizz Beatz has been exchanging sex messages via BBM with a former flame. During the past couple of days, the blogs have been on fiya with this story.

Meet Chris! She's the chick that's coming between Swizz and Alicia's love. Sidebar- Didn't Swizz have an affair with Alicia while he was still married to Mashonda? Umm.. ok.. moving right along. No judgement. We always think our sh*t will be different. Anyway, Chris released a statement to Bossip explaining the timeline of her relationship with the producer:

I’m only making this statement because I’m being put out there as a liar and I am very embarrassed. I would like to confirm that the rumor about Swizz Beatz cheating on Mashonda with me is absolutely true. I would also like to confirm that the rumors about Swizz “sexting” me, even in his present marriage, are absolutely true. I am also confirming that I lost my cell phone and someone else posted all the stuff that you see on the internet.

I’ve known Kasseem since 2007. We met at Solange Knowles’ (whom I do not associate with) birthday party in Houston, TX. A gentleman from Kasseem’s entourage approached me and said that someone wanted to talk to me. After I asked who it was, he pointed at Kasseem. I knew he was “Swizz Beatz”, but I did not know anything else about him. I gave him my phone number and he called me right away and invited me to eat at Katz’ Deli on Montrose Blvd. The next morning, he invited me to accompany him at Radio One (979 The Box) for his interview. Afterwards, we went back to his hotel room but we DID NOT HAVE SEX. A couple of hours later, he had to leave so he could catch his flight. He hugged and kissed me in public as if he were a single man.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks later. He invited me out to Miami with him and I gladly accepted. I met him in Dallas and we flew to Miami together. My last minute ticket placed me in coach and his ticket placed him in first class, but he switched his first class seat with the guy sitting next to me so he could sit next to me. In Miami, we stayed at his friends beautiful home. This is where we became sexually active and this is where I found out he was married. He snuck me through the house and it was all odd to me until I found a gift with Mashonda & Kasseem’s name on it. I asked him later on why he was cheating on her and he basically said she wasn’t being the wife he needed. He also said that if she asked if he was cheating, he would not lie to her, but he wouldn’t come right out and tell her.

After that trip, he invited me to meet him in Philly. I was picked up from the airport and taken to a club where he was performing at. Him and his crew jumped in the truck and we drove to VA from there. In VA, we got on a tour bus and drove to multiple destinations. After that, I flew back to Miami, he got sick and I got stranded in the Miami airport overnight. I flew back home to Houston the next day.

Later that week, he went on an overseas trip with Mashonda. I received a call from him saying “My wife is about to call you. Tell her nothing happened.” When Mashonda called me, this is exactly what I did. He did not contact me after that. They got a divorce and although we stayed in contact afterwards, there was nothing too drastic. I’m guessing this is when he was dating Alicia. Recently, we’ve been contacting each other (as you’ve all seen), but I haven’t physically seen him. We were making plans to, but I had to work and I wasn’t going to take off work to go see him. I live on my own, I have responsibilities and I strongly believe that if you are not contributing to those responsibilities, there is no reason for me to neglect them to entertain you. I am a very independent individual and the people who know me will tell you that I would never hold my hand out and ask for anything and if I do, I have a very hard time doing it.

Even though Swizz offered and offered and offered to buy me things, the only thing I accepted was plane tickets to go see him. He’s a wonderful man and I had a great time with him as well as a great relationship. Of course he’ll deny the whole thing and of course Alicia will stand up for her man. It’s understood.

Chris

In other news, Swizz just bought Alicia a new car for HIS birthday. Yes you read correctly, HIS not hers.
