Rihanna Channels Marilyn Monroe For British Vogue!

Rihanna channels her inner Marilyn Monroe as she graces the cover of the latest issue of British Vogues. She talks about how she feels on being regarded as a role model:

“See, people, they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it. Look, God doesn’t give any more than you can handle. I had to get through a lot of ups and downs – big downs – and a lot of trial and error to get where I am now.”

Kimsha Artest Addresses Facebook Debauchery!

In the last two weeks, there's been so much drama surrounding former BBWives LA cast member Kimsha Artest. Shaunie O'Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Jennifer Williams, Metta World Peace have all chimed in about the drama whether it be on Twitter or in interviews. Well, Ms. Kimsha herself is setting the record straight about the whole mess:


How many times must I say that Facebook, Twitter are the devil. As much as they keep us entertained, there is a fine line.... In the meantime, Shed Media, the production company behind the Basketball Wives brand released this statement:

“When Kimsha Artest signed on to be in ‘Basketball Wives: LA,’ we were very excited to have her onboard. That is why we were confused and disheartened when after a limited number of days shooting she stopped showing up for filming. This is the sole and only reason Kimsha has not appeared on more episodes of the series. Her minimal coverage on the show was entirely her decision and not that of Shed Media, VH1 or Executive Producer Shaunie O’Neal.’Basketball Wives: LA’ continues to be a ratings success for VH1 every Monday night.”

Shaunie O'Neal Sets The Record Straight About Kimsha Artest Feud!

Boss Lady, Ms. Shaunie O'Neal recently sat down with Madame Noire to discuss the recent backlash that she received from BBWives LA cast member (well barely) Kimsha Artest:

What is your connection to BBW-L.A.?
It is completely business wise. Because it is a part of the Basketball Wives franchise, I absolutely want it to be successful, and it is successful.

What can we expect from this new season of BBW-Miami?
We are going to be in different locations this season. We’re trying something new. We’re going to spend about six weeks in New York and film there for a while. We’re going to go to Miami, and I think we’re going to try and spend a few weeks here in LA.

Why is that?
Tami moved to L.A., I live in L.A., Evelyn’s daughter recently moved to LA to go to school, and Suzie has family in LA. So the connection to L.A. is very strong. My life is in L.A. I travel all the way to Miami to film Basketball Wives; none of my family is there. My friends are the show; I’m going there to see them. This next season we hope to shoot in L.A. and you’ll get more of my life, kids, boyfriend, and parents.

Would there ever be an intermixing between the L.A. and Miami cast?
I doubt it. No.

Are there any more extravagant international trips planned for the Miami crew?
Yes, well we are going to go somewhere fabulous. We don’t know where yet, but that’s always a highlight. We’re going to pick somewhere super duper fabulous that we wouldn’t do by ourselves. We have three locations that we’re deciding on in our pre-production meetings. So I have a few ideas that I want to try and encourage the girls to see if they want to go.

What would you change, if anything about BBW-Miami?
I would have liked to seen different situations handled better. I would have liked nobody to put their hands on each other. It’s natural to disagree and have an argument though. I would like to see everybody’s philanthropic events showed, too. They’ve been filmed but they’re overlooked and overpowered by the drama, because you know people like the drama. I’m pushing that for season four.

An ‘Insider’ is saying Kimsha beat you up badly? What is your story?
I don’t know how you fight someone that you’ve never met nor talked to. We’ve never been in the same place at the same time that I know of. And I would never ever fight somebody, I guess you’d have to meet them first to do that, and that’s never happened. So, I really don’t know where all that came from. It’s funny though, because she took a jab at Jen over her Facebook and Jen has never met or talked to her either, so we were clueless where it cam from. So I’ve brushed it off like oh well, whatever.

You do not have any cuts, bumps or bruises?
You know, I was out last night, many people saw me. I will be traveling this weekend; I have appearances in Houston and Dallas. And clearly I have not been in any altercation. It would have to be the ghost of Kimsha that I have yet to meet.

So Kimsha’s still on the show?
Well yeah, last I knew, she’s still on the show. I’m honestly very hands off with Basketball Wives L.A. I did not cast, nor did I care to cast and I could care less who’s on the show. When they were casting I was very very hands off. LA was already cast by the time I heard the line up and we were still filming Miami. Miami is my baby, it’s my focus.

So for the record, you and Kimsha, there’s nothing going on and Kimsha would say the same thing?
I don’t know what Kimsha would say. I DON’T KNOW HER! I can’t speak for anybody, I can speak for me.

And you haven’t called to talk to her about it?
No, I don’t see why I would need to. I’m not saying I don’t care about her, but their show is done taping. The show is on air.

Welp... there you have it folks..
