Child of Destiny and one of contemporary R&B’s current captains,Kelly Rowland performed “Street Life” during her Tuesday appearance on Good Morning America. I know, I know: I want to see a real performance of “Kisses Down Low,” too, dammit. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can really sing about oral sex that early in the morning.

Nevertheless, Kelly did a great job — she sounded good, she looked amazing (though we’re used to that now) and even brought out Pusha T. Yes, Pusha T being on GMA and Kelly singing about her baby daddy and the hood in front of happy white people surely made my morning. Awesome job, girl, although I need to know whether you’re going to perform your Mike Will Made It hit on the upcoming BET Awards. All you gotta do is say yes, doll.

Meanwhile, before her set, Kelly discussed “Dirty Laundry” — particularly that line your cousins misconstrued about Beyoncé. Kelly wasn’t saying she was jealous of Destiny’s Favorite Child, only that she was so frustrated about her own life it was hard to see Bey do so well. The song is one of the most forthright about domestic violence in quite some time, and yet, folks wanted to focus on the purported jealously between Destiny’s Child’s founding and lasting members. Blah.

In “Bad Girls: All-Star Battle” Episode 5, the ladies scurry to form new alliances when teams are merged; Natalie and Jenn spin into motion a shadowy plot; and one player suffers an injury.

[MWP]

People love to lay much of the blame for the dysfunction in Mimi’s life at Stevie J’s feet, but what if the problem is really with Mimi?

This season, Mimi has gone from victim to villain. She started out barking and howling at Joseline for hanging around her daughter Eva and when she was done beefing with the Puerto Rican princess, she turned on her good friends Ariane and K. Michelle.

Why is this butch ballin’ battleax so damn mad at everybody? She’s supposedly moved on from Stevie and gotten herself a new man in Nikko. Shouldn’t she be in Happily Ever After land?

She should, but she ain’t. Mimi, it turns out, is a big fan of the miserable existence. She seeks it out.

So in a bid to totally FUBAR her relationship with Nikko, she starts to reconnect with Stevie J, her baby daddy.

Oh, Mimi tries to shove it under the guise of her needing to build a relationship with him for co-parenting, but what the hell does co-parenting have to do with inviting this man to her boyfriend’s music video premiere party?

MESSY.

Mimi’s friends Ariane and Erica Dixon call her dumb ass out on this tom foolery too and Mimi raises a glass to her chicken-headed bird brain.

Things inevitably get really awkward at Nikko’s little basement bash. For some reason, he’s wearing a snow cap that he’s customized with a craft store pom-pom on the top. He looks like Bobo the Fool but he’s walking around like his name was Kanye West and like he and Johnny Crome are about to make Billboard their bitch.

The small-ass little TVs used to premiere the video look pathetic, though that might’ve been a blessing in disguise since this “NY 2 LA” video is such a waste of life and breath.

Speaking of breath, when Stevie J walks in the room, he pretty much sucks ALL of the air out of the room as Nikko realizes that Stevie J has come to assert his alpha male dominance over his bitch, Mimi.

Stevie laughs at the so-bad-it’s-not-even-sad music video Nikko cobbled together and then he mocks the fake Rolex Nikko gave Mimi, saying that it ticks.

As a final deathblow to Nikko’s manhood and entire existence, Stevie J hands Mimi the keys to a brand-new white BMW and shits on Nikko publicly.

How the hell do you let your woman’s babdy daddy roll up in YOUR party and one-up you in front everybody while you set looking a fool with your pants on the ground?

Mimi, being the bird that she is, readily accepts Stevie’s gift too. Oh she asks if there any strings attached, but she already knows damn there will be.

Y’all, call the pastor and put on all-black. Cause there’s about to be a funeral for the so-called relationship of Mimi and Nikko very soon.

K. Michelle and Karlie Redd Make Up to Break Up

After a heart to heart with her record label A&R and public relations team, K. Michelle decides to go on a mending fences campaign. Since she damn sure still can’t stand the sight of Rasheeda’s sideburns, she starts with Karlie Redd.

The two ladies had beef in the previous season or relatively trivial things but things did get heated when Karlie decided to a shake a table on K. Michelle’s ass and things went haywire.

Karlie, if you’ll recall, has been on an anti-K. Michelle rant this whole season, even going as far as recording a diss record. But being the fake, kiss-ass that she is, she eagerly agrees to meet up with K and patch things up.

The two have a relatively productive lunch and Karlie confesses to K that she did record a diss track against her. Karlie claims she wanted to tell K before she heard it “from the street.” As if anybody with a functioning sense of hearing would purposefully play any of her wack-ass music. She cray?

Anyway, with things back on track between Karlie and K. Michelle, we later catch up with K. and her girls at the club celebrating her birthday. Karlie is in tow and all is well. Then Benzino shows up.

Apparently, Benzino must be one of the girls because he’s the only LHHA dude who shows up and he spends the rest of the night awkwardly hovering around the ladies. Stalker much?

To up the creep just a little bit more, Benzino gives K. Michelle an expensive diamond pendant necklace for her birthday like he’s her boo. Did these two even talk at all last season? This is random as hell. K. Michelle herself can hardly believe it as the first words out of her mouth when she opens the box is, “Is this real?”

As awkward as that exchange is, it doesn’t compare to Karlie Redd’s gift opening with K. Michelle. The first gift is a pack of weave, which will no doubt be very useful for K and her lace front collection. But things get funky when K. Michelle pulls out a burned CD. You might think it’s a custom mixtape that Karlie put together for her gal pal, but it’s actually her dumbass diss record.

Yes, this dumb dumb gifted her diss track to K. Michelle right after she kissed and made up with her. Who does that?

Before Karlie can inform K. Michelle of what’s on the disc, Ariane quickly runs it to the DJ Booth and before you know it, Karlie’s venom against K is spewing from the speakers.

When K catches a line about challenging the validity of her domestic abuse story with Memphitz, shit gets really real fast. Y’all know how K reacted to Rasheeda so K’s voice starts getting really loud and in a split second, drinks start flying and bitches start getting shoved.

It’s just another day in the life, y’all.

The good news is, K. Michelle later runs out to Karlie and tells her she’s not mad about what went down, but I don’t really believe her. Karlie accepts the olive branch though because she’d rather be fake with K. Michelle than risk getting punched in the face. Smart girl.

Kirk Gets His Ass Handed to Him by His Mother-in-Law

Hell hath no fury like a mother-in-law scorned. Kirk Frost learned this salient truth the hard way when Rasheeda’s mother, Shirlene, unleashed the dragon on his dumbass after she heard the lowdown on the way he’d been treating her daughter Rasheeda.

Supposedly, Shirlene and Kirk have been close in the past, so when Kirk pulls up to Shirlene’s shop for a one-on-one conversation, he probably wasn’t expecting to get verbally assaulted and physically threatened by a 50-plus-year-old woman.

But there Mama Shirlene was right up in his face telling him he was a bitch and a coward for not supporting Rasheeda in her pregnancy and for asking for a damn paternity. Truth.

But Kirk, whose brain seems to have been taken over by aliens from Stupidanus, acts deaf and dumb to her complaints and tries to justify his behavior by saying his mother-in-law doesn’t know who Rasheeda’s been with. Sir, really?

Mama Shirlene doesn’t play that and when she starts to get rowdy with Kirk, he smartly rolls out. But Shirlene lets him have it in the parking lot too and threatens to kick his car.

Forget Momma Dee, we need way more of Mama Shirlene on LHHA.

When Ahsha is tasked with putting on a sexy show for the Devils’ annual calendar, she struggles to tap into her inner pin-up model.

VH1′s sexy new scripted series takes a look at the lives of a fictional NBA cheerleading squad in Los Angeles. The show, which follows Ahsha (Taylour Paige) as she navigates her weigh through the competitive squad, mixes sexy urban pop music with steamy love scenes and bucket loads of flesh-baring eye candy.

While Ahsha has the body of a supermodel, she has the confidence of a girl from the book club. Her nice girl side doesn’t allow her to purse her lips and stoke that fire of desire with a seductive look in her eyes.

Sensing her discomfort with playing sexy, Jelena (played by Logan Browning) plots and sets Ahsha up for failure by pretending to graciously cede the most sought after month in the calendar. What seems like a gesture of kindness is indeed just Jelena’s way of ensuring Ahsha’s meltdown happens on the biggest stage platform.

But inspiration to pull through comes from an unexpected source: Derek Roman (played by McKinley Freeman). The only problem is he’s a Devils player and Ahsha has a boyfriend she’s in love with. Are we in for a dangerous love triangle?

Meanwhile, Ahsha’s biological father, Devils Coach Pete Davenpourt (played by Dean Cain), attempts to iron out some kind of understanding with his one-time lover Sloane (played by Kimberly Elise) about their past and their future together as parents.

When Rasheeda gets to her wits end with her husband, she calls on her mama for reinforcement. While her mother has long been a supporter of Kirk’s, she’s flabbergasted to hear about some of the things he’s been saying to Rasheeda’s face in light of her pregnancy.

Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, she confronts Kirk one on one, but the discussion doesn’t result in the clarity and resolution she was seeking.

K. Michelle is looking to mend fences as she celebrates her birthday so she reaches out to everyone, including Karlie Redd. The girls meet up to patch things up and everything is going smoothly until Karlie foolishly decides to hand K a copy of her diss record as a birthday gift. Next thing you know, drinks are flying and weaves are getting moist.

[MWP]

“True Blood” kicked off its sixth season on Sunday night and the series has undergone a much needed reboot. Thanks to snappy dialogue and a return to the concepts that initially made the HBO hit great, the Season 6 premiere episode marks a promising start.

As with previous seasons, the episode picks up right where season five left off. Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) are taken aback as they watch Bill (Stephen Moyer) transform into the reincarnation of Lilith, the first vampire who ever lived. They’re able to run away from the blood soaked rage monster but the same can’t be said of others in the Vampire Authority Complex.

Thankfully, much of the principle cast also flees from Bill’s wrath safely, including Jason (Ryan Kwanten), Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), Pam (Kristen Bauer van Straten), Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Eric’s sister Lucy (Lucy Griffiths).

Meanwhile, poor Sam (Sam Trammel) is unable to save Luna (Janina Gavankar). As she lay dying, she asks that Sam (sidebar: are the writers ever going to cut this guy a break?) watch over her shifter daughter, Emma.

As Jason seeks revenge on Warlow, the vampire that murdered he and Sookie’s parents, he finds himself in the midst of what seems like an episode of the 90′s show “Unsolved Mysteries.”

Since he’s never been the sharpest tool in the shed, it’s not surprising when Jason accepts a ride from a total stranger, who happens to look like one of the Founding Fathers. Coincidence alert — he’s somehow connected to Warlow (maybe he is Warlow?).

We don’t get to find out because the strange man suddenly disappears from the car, which means Jason is left in the passenger seat in a car that has no driver. Insert crash sound here.

In a press conference, the Governor makes it known that a True Blood shortage is plaguing the vampire population. Of course, the biggest concern for the general human public is what is to become of them as the undead community grows hungrier and hungrier for fresh blood.

They’re encouraged to buy guns and stock up on wooden bullets — as if that’s going to stop hordes of famished vamps, who are incredibly strong and fast, and can brainwash anyone in their path (well, except fairies).

There’s a rare moment in which Sookie and Jessica bond over the fact that they have to give up on Bill, who has boarded the crazy train for good.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen these two have a heart-to-heart, so it’s nice to see them interact — after all, Sookie was practically her stepmom at one point. But then all of that changes when Jessica turns on everyone and basically tells them to leave her and Bill the f**k alone.

Similarly, Tara and her maker/lover Pam discuss Eric and Pam really can’t get over the squabbles she’s had with him. She tells Tara that she will never replace her thousand-year-old maker (burn!), and to make matters worse for the two, Fangtasia is raided by the police, who taze poor Tara (ouch!)

A few other notable plot points: Alcide devours the body of the former pack master and has a threesome with some werewolf ladies in the woods, Andy and Arlene have to raise fairy babies, who instantly grow into fairy toddlers (wtf?).

And Bill has some really rad powers — like stopping things from falling, and then there’s that whole not dying thing. Sookie staked him right through the chest, and he just pulled the piece of wood out like it was nothing.

The season is running for 10 episodes, instead of the usual 12 and it’s going to be interesting to see how the many plot lines are wrapped up, but we can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day. While appearing on a German talk show this week, Gerard Butler proved that he has an unusual talent — he can crack a walnut with his butt!!

The star was a guest on “Wetten, dass…?” to promote the European release of the action flick “Olympus Has Fallen” when he agreed to partake in what looks like an Olympics-inspired ceremony. The only difference between the Olympics and what took place on the popular show is the fact that crushing walnuts with ones’ butt was a part of it. And we have to say, for a man put in a ridiculous situation … he looks pretty bad ass.

Oh yeah, he also poured ice down his pants, because why not?

So if you liked that video of the ruggedly handsome Scotsman doing the harlem shake … .you now have something else to re-watch a hundred times.

As one of the early winners of the “American Idol” franchise, many thought Fantasia‘s life would be nothing but a dream by now. But the past few years have been hell. No worries though, cause she’s in a better place today.

In a quick promo interview with Kathie Lee and Hoda for the “Today Show,” Fantasia celebrated the success of her new album, Side Effects of You. The album debuted at #1 on the R&B charts and has resonated with her fan base, which is a welcome response to her work after suffering from a few flop albums recently.

Kathie Lee and Hoda played nice with Barrino, mentioning the “challenges” she faced in her personal and professional life without digging into the ugly specifics of her baby daddy drama or her alleged attempted suicide with baby aspirin. But regardless of how messy her past has been, Fantasia wouldn’t change a thing.

“I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a part of my testimony and it made me the woman that I am today,” said Fantasia.

One of Fantasia’s recent champions has been classical musician Andrea Bocelli. The Italian star invited Barrino to open for him and apparently, she had to learn some Italian for her stint with Bocelli. How the hell do you learn to speak Italian when you can’t even read English? OK, I’ll stop.

DJ Baby Drew might be out of a job. Word over at Baller Alert is that the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star was fired by Chris Brown as his DJ. Why? Well, someone wanted to be famous more than they wanted to be a DJ. Call it the Diddy complex.

The site reports:

“Not only has Drew lost his $50,000 sneaker store investment but he’s also lost his primary source of income. Rumor has it that Chris Brown has fired his longtime tour DJ. It is said that DJ Baby Drew wanted to be a celebrity more than he wanted to be a DJ. Although Chris has had the same team for a very long time, he thought it was time to let him go.”

Based on the comments he’s made during the confessionals on the show, Drew is definitely loving that people know him as a reality star than just Chris Brown’s DJ. Unfortunately, many reality stars tend to forget that sort of fame can be fleeting. So for Drew’s sake, I hope that sneaker store happens, pops, and replaces the loss of income from this apparent firing.

If not, should Traci make it another season of the show, expect her to curse him smooth out every chance she gets. He’ll likely be getting cursed out while sitting in her bed, though.

The black “Bring It On” turns up the heat as Ahsha begins to unravel the dirty little secret her mother has kept from her for so long.

VH1′s sexy new scripted series takes a look at the lives of a fictional NBA cheerleading squad in Los Angeles. The show, which follows Ahsha (Taylour Paige) as she navigates her weigh through the competitive squad, mixes sexy urban pop music with steamy love scenes and bucket loads of flesh-baring eye candy.

In episode 3, we pick up right after Jelena (played by Logan Browning) cruelly reveals to Ahsha that the L.A. Devils coach Pete Davenpourt (played by Dean Cain) is in fact her biological father, Ahsha panics and flews the stadium minutes before she’s set to make her official debut as a devil girl.

Ahsha runs home and confront her mother Sloane (played by Kimberly Elise) about the allegations and when she sees the pain-striken look flash across her mother’s face, she knows it’s true.

Reeling from the betrayal and deceit of her mother, Ahsha runs to her boyfriend and seeks comfort in his arms. He consoles her but urges Ahsha to make peace with her mother but the wounds are far too fresh for Ahsha to forgive and forget.

Meanwhile, Devils player Derek Roman (played by McKinley Freeman) starts to get a little out of hand and concerns from his teammates grow after his wild after party. Can Derek reign his party boy ways before it starts to affect his game on the court?

WATCH EPISODE 3 OF HIT THE FLOOR BELOW

Mimi’s new boyfriend Nikko is rubbing many of her friends the wrong way. How long can Mimi and Nikko keep the love going in their relationship before it all falls down?

After last episode when Mimi barked in Ariane’s face with less than 2 cm between them, I thought Ariane might have decided Mimi was more trouble than she was worth. Instead, episode 8 opens with the two ladies seated at the table talking about the state of their friendship.

If someone got so close to my mouth that they could reach down my throat and snatch my half-digested pop tart from my bowels, I wouldn’t dare engage that person ever again. But hey, that’s just me.

We ain’t friends if you gon’ bow wow wow on me for no good reason. Ol’ pitbull ass Mimi.

But yeah, Mimi sits Ariane down and starts interrogating her about whose side is she REALLY ON? Her’s or K. Michelle’s? Why does Mimi sound like a pimp? Does she own Ariane’s kutty kat?

Ariane says with her mouth “I know where my loyalty is,” but her eyes say, “Bitch, you crazy.”

The moment of truth comes when Mimi asks Ariane how she really feels about her relationship with Nikko. Ariane acts like she’s pulling no punches but you can tell she’s doing her best not to blurt out, “I can’t stand that asshole!”

So Ariane instead settles for saying that she feels Nikko is “inauthentic.” Right. Like he’s a Canal Street Chanel bag.

Mimi grimaces and nods her head as she mulls on her so-called friend’s assessment of her new boo thang.

Later in the episode, Mimi’s crazy ass goes and sees a psychic who looks like she could be Fantasia’s birth mother. Grandma Barrino tells her that the Nikko situation is not productive and will lead to nowhere. Damn, Mona. Did you have to bury Nikko 6-feet-under that fast?

After the psychic trashes Nikko, Mimi asks what the future holds for her friendship with K. Michelle. The psychic says that K doesn’t care for her in her heart, although she acts like she does. Maybe the priestess is an undercover Keyshia Cole fan and that’s why she’s shading the hell outta K.

Bringing everything full circle, we find Mimi and Nikko hanging out on the couch in her apartment as she explains her idea for her “Made” t-shirts. Playing off of Joseline’s name calling, Mimi has decided to turn the shade into a clothing line. She better cut Joseline a royalty check.

Nikko starts talking reckless, talking bout how he “coached” Mimi to succeed and how she’s riding on his train. The phrasing sends Mimi straight back to reality and she proceeds to check Nikko and his two ginormous Bug Bunny teeth real quick. How you gonna come on Mimi’s reality show and talk about you put her on?

Joseline and Stevie Make Up to Break Up

It seems like in season 2 that Joseline and Stevie are in a committed relationship because homeboy stay by her side at photo shoots, nail appointments and oil changes. Joseline is feeling like she got herself a boyfriend and things but little does she know, Stevie J is up to usual ratty ways.

While Sleaze-o has been promising Joseline the moon and the stars, he’s also been scooping up discount Vizio TVs to impress Che Mack. To be fair though, Stevie HAS been somewhat honest about his communications with Che and he did try to broker a friendship between the two so that he can spend time with both of them without all of the vitriol and jealousy.

After spurning Che twice, Stevie convinces Joseline that she was unnecessarily harsh toward his new protegee and in a moment maturity and clarity, Joseline concedes that she unfairly took out her frustrations with Stevie on Che.

Next thing you know, the three of them are sitting at a restaurant and pow-wowing about the status of their “relationship.” While Che wants to play innocent, she quickly and conveniently brings up the fact that Stevie bought her a TV. This whole stunt was so scripted that I could’ve sworn I saw Mona’s messy ass holding a cue card during this scene.

Of course once Che drops that bomb, Joseline gets furious and fired up about Stevie’s betrayal. She gets her box braids together and walks out on Stevie and Che announcing that she has “things to do.”

Furious with Stevie for his latest creep episode, Joseline consults with her booking agent/BFF Dawn to whine about Stevie and his conniving ways. She acts like this is her first-time in the rodeo. Dawn is all too eager to throw Stevie under the bus so she can continue stacking those booking checks and before you know it, Joseline is gassed up enough to once again proclaim that she’s done working with Stevie once and for all.

Joseline books a lunch date with Stevie to tell him this in person and being the pimp that he is, Stevie laughs in her face eggs her on. He even rips up her contract and throws it in her face while insulting her in the parking lot as she walks away.

“Your ass is fake. Your titties is fake,” he snarls. “You’re signed for life. Bye.”

But you ain’t have a problem with the silicone Barbie all this time so how you gon’ act like it’s a problem now, Sleaze-o?

Don’t feel sorry for these two. They’ll be back together and cuddled up in an episode or two again.

Shay and Erica Sharing the Scraps

For some reason, Shay is seeking relationship advice from the deranged and delusional DJ Traci Steele. Yeah, the same Traci who is so hung up on her ex that she handed that high-yellow fool $25,000, no questions asked, for a damn sneaker business.

Because Mona has to try to shoehorn Traci into the rest of the cast’s storyline somehow, she books a playdate with Erica and her kids so they two can talk about…Shay?

Erica rightly calls Traci out about hanging out with “popcorn hoes,” since she’s been chillin’ with Shay, and Traci doesn’t ever really explain herself. If the women who hang out with Babey Drew are so trifling, how the hell can she rock with Shay who’s been screwing her so-called friend’s fiance?

H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E. And in that order.

After being spurned by Lil’ Scrappy so far this season, Shay claims victory as we learn that Scrappy is laid up in her bed getting a sensual massage from her. Guess who’s bizzack, biznaye?

So all of that flexin’ that Scrappy was doin’ talkin’ bout Momma Dee is tryin’ to mess up his situation with Erica and here he is back with Shay.

After another screw session, Shay cuts some fruit and calls Scrappy over for a hear-to-heart about the fact that he asked Erica to marry him only days after rolling around the hay with her, Ms. Shay.

Damn, woman. How many times are we gonna go over this? You are a rebound chick. A warm body. A good piece of therapy snatch.

Erica is the one with the keys to his heart. You know he’s gonna tell you this and you’re gonna get mad, so why run through the motions again?

Well, that’s exactly what happens but instead of Shay taking the licks from Scrappy, she bites back and puts Scrappy out of her house.

That’s right, Shay. Get your Mary J. Blige on. Put that bamma out and cry your eyes out in your walk-in closet!

I wonder if Momma Dee’s gonna come after Shay now for putting her “prince” out of her house. Y’all know how Momma Dee gets about people abandoning her baby boy and things.

When a man loves a woman, how can he tell her to get rid of their child?

GOT RECAP: “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” Recap: Mimi and Nikko’s Relationship Starts to Fall Apart

The struggle between Kirk and Rasheeda took another disastrous turn as Kirk confronts Rasheeda at her photo shoot about overspending and making the decision to keep her baby. Rolling up on set looking like she spent the night outside of his local 7-11, Kirk complains about the Rasheeda’s expensive photo shoot. When she points out that she wants to shoot all of the art work for her projects before her pregnancy starts showing, he tells her that she could “take care” of that if she wanted to.

Ok. So Kirk is determined to make Stevie J look like father of the year with these stunts.

As if that insult wasn’t enough, he then implies that Rasheeda stepped out on him and says he wants a paternity test to prove the child is his. When their child looks back on this show 20 years from now, Kirk is gonna have a lot of explaining to do.

Aside from Kirk and Rasheeda’s mess, we get to catch up with Joseline and Stevie as Joseline tries to make amends with Che Mack and follow along with Mimi as she visits a psychic who warns her about her lovers and friends.

A new, and probably the last, “True Blood” Season 6 promo debuted on Sunday night, just one week before the start of the HBO hit’s sixth season kicks off, and it poses some new questions. Like, who is that new guy Sookie is locking lips with? And, what the hell? Vampire Bill can go out into the sunlight now?

The trailer, in which Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) proclaims “The World is Changing,” doesn’t really provide any more details than those that have aired previously, but there are still a few juicy new deets.

For one, Bill aka “Billith” (Stephen Moyer) is a now so powerful that he is able to intimidate Sookie (Anna Paquin), who is usually impervious to vampire abilities. Am I the only one who still thinks that Sookie and Bill still might have a chance? Maybe that’s just because in real life they’re married with adorable babies.

The new trailer does, however, serve as further proof that the series is going back to its basic premise, and that’s not a bad thing.

“True Blood,” which debuted in 2008, initially focused on an overwhelmingly prevalent topic — equality. The show is set in a world in which vampires and humans must co-exist despite their differences.

Concepts like “coming out of the coffin” no doubt alluded to issues of gay rights and of course the storyline has paralleled with the prejudices that have and still plague the country today.

In HBO’s newest trailer for the raunchy series, we catch a glimpse of a chained up vamp being dragged from the back of a car, which recalls the 1998  dragging death of James Byrd. Byrd was murdered at the hands of white supremacists not unlike some of the frighteningly conservative residents of Bon Temps.

Clearly, the show’s creators, having delved into the world of maenads, werewolves and witches, have decided to go back to the drawing board.

An early review of the new season by Variety’s TV Columnist Brian Lowry indicates that the show’s return to its culturally relevant plot-line gives the show new life.

That’s good news, considering last season was largely disappointing and may have alienated some of the show’s biggest fans.

“True Blood” Season 6 premieres Sunday, June 16 on HBO and will run for 10 episodes instead of its usual 12.

Check out another newly released clip trailer here:

While Justin Timberlake wowed the world with his comeback single “Suit & Tie” earlier this year, Robin Thicke is proving to be the new white boy on the block to beat.

His falsetto is glorious and his single is sitting pretty at the top of the iTunes charts. You might be inclined to think I’m describing Justin Timberlake, but I’m actually talking about Robin Thicke.

Robin Thicke’s (NSFW) “Blurred Lines” Video Features T.I., Pharrell and … BARE BOOBIES!

Thicke’s new single “Blurred Lines” featuring Pharrell and T.I., is winning the blue-eyed soul singer numerous accolades, especially in the UK, where the song has actually landed the singer his first #1 in the country.

UK! Thank you all so much for giving me my first #1 single with #BlurredLines. So appreciative. twitter.com/robinthicke/st…

— Robin Thicke (@robinthicke) June 4, 2013

Capitalizing on the song’s success, Thicke took his collaborator Pharrell along to the UK for a rousing performance of the track on the Graham Norton Show.

WATCH ROBIN THICKE PERFORM WITH PHARRELL BELOW:

OK, so he doesn’t dance as well as JT, but Robin still got his lil’ groove on. Could “Blurred Lines” be this year’s song of the summer?

I don’t know what to make of Che Mack. On one end, she seems absolutely clueless and kind of horrible. She gives, “What if Keyshia Cole didn’t get saved…by Interscope?” vibes, and I try not to talk about her too badly for that reason. I just won’t feel comfortable until I receive confirmation that she didn’t leave some group home for struggle girls a few weeks before she joined Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta as a sidepiece character.

I will say that when I read that Che Mack had a diss record aimed at Joseline Hernandez, I was ready to hate it to the core. If you don’t know, I love the Puerto Rican Princess. Yet, here I am, ready to sing this song’s praises. It’s not horrible and considering the source I don’t know how you can call that anything other than a success.

TAKE A LISTEN HERE:

How incredibly genius of the track’s producer to take audio from the greatest show on Earth and use it for a song? Why hasn’t anyone else thought of that before? Is it too late for me to do this for my mixtape, Suck A Dick, Sallie Mae? If not, I’ll be using it on my second mixtape, too, tentatively titled, Deep My Throat, Discover Student Loans (Ya Bitch).

I don’t even cut for monologue Mimi like that, but dammit if I didn’t start twirking in my seat the second I heard, “Slut bitch. Slut ass bitch! Slut ass bitch! Slut ass bitch!” I wish I had a extra long weave ponytail so I could swing my head to that hook. I tried yesterday with my taper, and ugh, it’s just not the same.

Mimi carries the song, but Che Mack isn’t completely awful. Like, she could probably have a nice little regional rap career if she sticks to songs along the lines of this and maybe gems such as “Shake Dem Dreads” and all the songs Diamond from Crime Mob thinks she’s too good to do now.

Why hasn’t anyone sent me the mp3 of this yet? I’m ready to be on some New York sidewalk fighting the urge to go full hands on knees after hearing “SLUT ASS BITCH! SLUT ASS BITCH!”

Now, in tribute to Mimi Faust and her favorite word, I’m going to write the rest of this review using the word bitch as much as possible.

Bitch, listen. Bitch. This song is it, bitch. Nah, bitch, she can’t really rap, but who gives a fuck nowadays, bitch? That beat is catchy, bitch. Yasss, bitch. This is perfect for my bird self, bitch. Bitch, I hope they play this in the club. Bitch, don’t act like this shit ain’t catchy.

Alright, I’m done, bitches. Get into it. If you don’t, bitch, don’t tell me about it.

P.S. Joseline, I love you, but you might want to watch it trying to sucker punch Che Mack. Yeah, you lift all of the weights at least six days a week, but Che Mack looks like she fights as if she has nothing to lose. She will go for the face and try to deflate your right breast implant. Be careful.

A few days ago, a BET initiated trending topic called “#AskDraya” turned into a day-long bashing of Basketball Wives: LA star Draya Michele over her behavior as a mother.

Back in 2007, Draya was arrested on charges of child endangerment after her then seven-year-old son called 911 and said he had been left alone. The issue came up on the VH1 reality series — she denied the claims, of course — though some viewers continued to question her after it was made clear that her mother was raising her son for her.

Draya’s rationale was that she went out to Los Angeles to work and hoped to earn enough to bring her family with her in LA.

On her appearance on 106 & Park, Draya addressed the criticism:

“Well, the first thing is, I don’t expect people to understand my life. Because it’s my life. I’m not a bad parent in any way. I’m lucky enough to have fans that have followed me from Basketball Wives LA and know that I’m trying to help my family and the set path I’m trying to go with them. Mind ya business!”

She’s right to say that her life doesn’t have to be understood by others, but it’s hard for a reality star whose money-earning power is largely focused on sharing her personal life — i.e. her family — to say “mind ya business.”

I don’t excuse people being assholes towards her, but she made it their business. Hopefully, she can put things in proper context. That is, if she continues with plans to make money off reality television.

Anyway, just for sh*ts and giggles, in case you missed it, here are a few of the hilarious mean things people posted about Draya Michele on Twitter (via Hip Hop Wired):

While I imagine Zoe Saldana is somewhere telling her white boyfriend how she wishes everyone would get over race the way she has in her dating pool, more conscious of reality thespians like Kerry Washington and Don Cheadle are speaking candidly about it. In an interview with Variety, the ultra talented duo shared their thoughts on race in their industry — the good and the bad.

On lack of opportunities for people of color in Hollywood

Don: It depends on when you ask the question.  If this was 1971, there would be tons of opportunities for black people in movies.  Not sure if you would want to be in all of them, but you would be like yeah, I’ve got 5 auditions today.  Then that went away and there was a resurgence of other blaxsploitation films with the gangster films like Boyz In The Hood, Menace II Society and Dead Presidents–movies with black heroes and anti heros.  At that time, there was a lot of work.

But where we are right now, there’s not enough for anybody.  So the people who are already marginalized (people of color) are going to have even less.

On how their tv roles have helped promote “crossover”

Kerry: The woman who runs my digital social media came up with this idea when I was on the cover of Ebony–a contest for followers to take a pic of themselves with me on the cover of EBONY magazine.  And the most creative we would send the an autographed copy.  It was a neat way to engage followers on  line.  It was so moving because you had all these pictures of white women going to buy EBONY magazine or Latin women and people overseas going into international magazine stores.  Suddenly, because of the power of the TV show, people were crossing over into racial categories and social interests they never would have before.  These people wouldn’t normally even purchase this magazine.

On comparing racism to sexism in Hollywood

Don: Well, sexism…I’m loving it.  Being named a sex symbol.  Getting pinched on the butt cheeks at this age?  Yeah. (Laughs)  But it’s definitely not the same thing for [Kerry].

Kerry: I’ve been able to do things as a woman in this business I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do as a man. Just like with Ray, I wouldn’t have been able to play Ray Charles’ wife if I wasn’t a black woman.  So, it sometimes makes things more challenging, but it also has allowed for unique experiences like Hotel Rwanda and Ray and Last King, roles that really use our gender and our race.

In the third episode of “Bad Girls: All-Star Battle,” early alliances centering on Natalie, Flo and Amber are tested. Meanwhile, challenges involve pigs and Velcro, and harsh truths are exposed, leading to fractured friendships and divided teams.

[MWP]

She may play a woman who works at a massage parlor that provides sexual favors, but in real life, Jennifer Love-Hewitt will soon take on an entirely different role. Us Weekly is reporting that the actress is expecting her first child with actor Brian Hallisay.

If you’ve ever watched a few — or all (**points to self** Guilty!) — episodes of her Lifetime series “The Client List,” then you know that the couple are also co-stars on the series.

According the reports, the two have been dating for 15 months. The 34-year-old first met the actor when they appeared on the doomed series “Love Bites.” No word yet on how this will affect “The Client List,” but given the plot of the series, it would be pretty amusing if her character found herself to be with child.

Currently in its second season, the embarrassingly addictive, often implausible show centers on a single mom who is struggling to support her two children. She takes a new job at a spa only to discover that she’s expected to provide a lot more than just tension relief. Hallisay portrays Hewitt’s suffering husband, who abandons his family and causes this whole mess to begin with.

Though Hewitt has yet to post about the news on her official Twitter page, she did reach out to Bruno Mars about the sudden death of his mother. The actress, who lost her mother Patricia to cancer last June, tweeted words of support for the music sensation.

My heart is breaking for Bruno Mars and his family tonight. I know all too well, to recent and too deep what they are feeling.my prayers

— Jennifer Love Hewitt (@TheReal_Jlh) June 2, 2013

Nothing in the world like a mother. And nothing can prepare you for the pain of losing one. Sending my condolences.

— Jennifer Love Hewitt (@TheReal_Jlh) June 2, 2013

Hewitt is known for promoting positive and supportive thoughts on Twitter and has remained one of Hollywood’s most down-to-earth stars. The actress has also carved out a successful career as a producer and writer. She not only produces “The Client List” but has a deal with Lifetime to develop more original content for the network.

In 2010, she released the bestselling book “The Day I Shot Cupid,” which chronicles her dating and relationship experiences.

It used to be that hell had no fury like Ms. Joseline, but in recent episodes, Mimi Faust and her inner She-Hulk have been running amuck.

Mimi and Ariane catch up at the beginning of the episode to try and piece together what the hell went wrong the last time they were all together at Nikko’s video shoot.

Even though Mimi blew up on Ariane, she believes that K. Michelle is to blame for the whole mess because she started the gossiping and whispering about Johnny Crome’s alleged homosexuality.

WATCH: Johnny Crome & Nikko’s “NY 2 L.A.” Music Video (featuring Mimi Fast)

Ariane really tries hard to play both sides here, as she fully believes and agrees with K. Michelle’s assertion that Johnny is gay, but she also wants to support Mimi and pretend like she’s not picking sides.

In reality, I just wish she’d pick a new Asian lady to rob wigs from, cause Ariane’s Sue Liu Chinese buffet wig is not the business.

Despite Mimi expressing her outrage and anger toward K. Michelle, Ariane STILL invites her to New York to watch K. Michelle’s show at B.B. Kings.

Ariane pretends like she only wants Mimi and K. Michelle to make peace, but Ariane knows that K. Michelle is like a suicide bomber. She’s more liable to blow herself and everybody else up before she says, “I’m sorry” for any damn thing.

Things really get turnt up when Mimi plays Ariane an interview that K. Michelle did calling her boo thang Nikko a downlow homosexual. You know what that means, right? It’s. About. To go. Down!

So after K. Michelle performs her set in her finest lacefront wig, she heads backstage to catch up with Mimi and Ariane.

I don’t know if I just haven’t been paying attention but Mimi and Ariane TOWER over K. Michelle. I mean, it looks like Gargamel’s sisters towering over Smurfette.

Mimi tries to have a conversation with K. Michelle about what went wrong at the video shoot but K. isn’t really interested in the conversation so she blows her off and again insists that her man is gay. That’s when Mimi fires back that that’s why she can’t keep a man.

That set something off in K. Michelle as she snapped her neck around and smacked Mimi with the bouquet of roses that Ariane delivered to her.

Grand opening, grand closing.

After K. Michelle stormed off and ditched them bitches, Mimi and Ariane got into this very bizarre face-to-face argument where they had like 2 cm between them. They look like an aggressive and femme lesbian couple in a heated argument. They f*cking?

Joseline No Quiere Che

There are two things that Joseline wants in this world: A hit single and her Steebie. Right now, Che Mack is getting in her way of both of those things.

These two have never gotten off on the right foot. Last time they met, Joseline called Ms. Tattoo “the help” and Che hollered like a cow giving birth.

Stevie really wants to make Che his third sister wife though, so he convinces Che to try and smooth things over with his bottom bitch Joseline.

But Ms. Joseline is NOT interested sharing her Steebie so she gives Che the cold shoulder at every turn.

Che tries flattery but gets rebuffed.

“Bitch you will die, be born again, die again and be born again before I do a song with you bitch.” — Joseline

She even tries to shrug off Joseline’s sour attitude. But when Che says, “Tic tac toe” to Joseline, she gets assaulted by the Puerto Rican Princess.

Damn. Maybe she’s more of a Tetris girl?

Friends in All the Wrong Places

Somehow, Shay and Erica Dixon seem destined to cross paths. DJ Traci Steele invites Shay to a fashion event in which Scrappy’s baby mama is walking the runway. Nevermind that Erica, despite being a very lovely woman, is few people’s idea of a runway-fit model.

Traci tries to get Shay and Erica to make amends but Erica just pretends as if that female Muppet doesn’t exist.

This whole relationship between Shay and Traci doesn’t make sense. Doesn’t Traci hate her baby daddy because he can’t stop messing with hoes and homewreckers? Isn’t Shay prime example number one of both?

Speaking of strange bedfellows, since Stevie has axed Benzino from his life, it means we’re now forced to sit through Benzino attempting to bond with Rasheeda’s husband Kirk.

But Kirk’s life is depressing as hell so even though Benzino has the drank pouring and the strippers twirlin’ on the pole, it still feels like it’s the end of the world as we know it.

Benzino, just do Kirk and us all a favor and leave the dang cast of LHHATL.

***

Honorable Mention Moments from the Editor

WTF?!?: Momma Dee trying to mack and get her cougar on with the “dog whisperer” guy. Scary.

Really?: Kirk blaming Rasheeda for getting pregnant, as if she did it all by herself — “I pretty much feel like it’s spiteful and you did it on purpose.” Wait, what?

LOL!: Karlie Redd acting like she’s an international superstar — “They brought me to Utah … I’m in Utah for a party. I’m everywhere!” Girl, please.

LMAO!: Scrappy telling Momma Dee she is crazy, and to stay out of his damn business. Or in his words, “You is crazy … leave me the hell alone!” Classic.

SMDH…: DJ Babey Drew (aka DJ Dumbass) sending his “con artist business partner” $50,000 with NO signed contract, simply a verbal agreement. So basically, the $50K he and Traci put up for that shoe store has been flushed down the toilet, and Master Splinter is cutting bonus checks for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as we speak.

Friends? How many of these ratchet ATL chicks have them? There’s a thin line between friend and foe in these streets.

K. Michelle, Ariane and Mimi have been as thick as thieves for some time, but it appears that their friendship is at a crossroads now that K. Michelle has decided that Johnny Crome and Nikko, Mimi’s boyfriend, are gay.

The blow-up on Nikko’s video set wasn’t entirely K’s fault, but she takes things up a notch by going on the radio and blabbing about how she believes Nikko is a downlow homosexual. Let’s just say Mimi catches wind of this interview and isn’t too pleased to hear K. Michelle’s inflammatory opinions.

Things take a turn for the worse when Mimi and K. Michelle confront each other backstage after her show. Let’s just say that someone ends up smelling like roses and that’s not a metaphor for things ending well.

Besides the Mimi/K. Michelle drama, Joseline and Stevie continue to clash over Che Mack and DJ Traci Steele gets the upper hand on her baby daddy Babey Drew for a split second.

After enduring a painful, tension-filled season of “American Idol” together, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj can both agree that they’re glad it’s all over. For good.

It’s no secret that Mariah and Nicki didn’t end up being BFFs while the two superstars judged Idol together. Who you think is to blame for the repeated cat fights depends on whether you’re a Barb or a Lamb.

While the bad blood between the two divas was intriguing at first, it grew old rather quickly and the ratings for the show tanked. In fact, this past season of Idol had some of the lowest ratings in the show’s history.

Longtime judge Randy Jackson bowed out before the show ended, announcing that he wouldn’t be returning as a judge next season. And now Mariah and Nicki have made it official too.

“Nicki Minaj is a superstar who brought a level of honesty and passion to American Idol and who had a tremendous positive impact on so many contestants this season,” Fox and Idol producers FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment said in a joint statement. “Given her extremely busy career, we understand and respect her decision and wish her the best.”

Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn’t trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!

Mariah’s PR team did her dirty work for her and made a similar statement on Twitter as well.

So now that the show is over, will Nicki and Mariah kiss and make up? Probably not. Y’all know Mariah holds on to a grudge like a winter coat. Just ask her about J.Lo and see what happens.

During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Usher defended his bratty little moneymaker from accusations that he’s gotten too wild. You know, that whole reckless driving, cursing at the paps, and all around displays of frustration and stuff. It happens.

When asked about some of his most recent behavior, Usher told Ellen, “He’ll continue to just mature but you know, in this days age of social media, there is no privacy and that kind of trial and elimination period is kind of done in front of a camera.”

Usher added: ”It’s been done and many, many other celebrities are product of it. Some come out bad and some come out good. I am hoping for the best. I don’t look at it as a negative though. I look at it as a teenager, a teenager having to live his life in front of a camera.”

Translation: He’s growing up, but fret not ’cause I won’t let him get too out of hand. He’s not about to f**k with the church’s money. Amen.

Vampire Eric and Juno are totally doing it! Maybe.

“True Blood” hottie Alexander Skarsgard and Oscar-nominated actress Ellen Page are rumored to be an item. Multiple reports claim that the 36-year-old Swedish-born actor has been hooking up with the 26-year-old Canadian cutie while promoting their new flick “The East.”

The thriller centers on an eco-terrorist group that is working to take down crooked corporations. Skarsgard and Page portray longtime members of the group who are also close friends.

Though neither have confirmed the rumors, the two were snapped getting cozy during the film’s L.A. premiere on Tuesday night.

Speculation as to whether these two are an item emerged last June when OK! reported that the duo were spotted catching the Stanley Cup finals together.

But before you Skarsgard fans lose hope, they could simply be friends who grew close while working on a film together. After all, not every on-set relationship turns into a steaming hot romance.

Skarsgard previously dated Kate Bosworth in 2010. In 2011, PEOPLE reported that the pair, who co-starred in the film “Straw Dogs,” split. Meanwhile, Page has previously been linked to the likes of Ben Foster and Emilie Hirsch.

Ofcom — the British equivalent of the FCC, in that it regulates media — has confirmed to E! News that they have “received complaints, which we are currently assessing but not investigating at the moment” about Jennifer Lopez‘s recent performance on Britain’s Got Talent. J.Lo was there performing her new single, “Live It Up.”

So what were they so mad about? The song sounding like every other one she’s released with Pitbull in the last few years? Or how it just sucks overall?

No, apparently they felt that J.Lo’s performance — namely her skin-tight and revealing outfit — was the issue. You’d think when the song is so awful, the least a viewer can do is appreciate that part of its performance.

The UK’s own Daily Mail deemed the performance as “raunchy” and posted this screenshot of several angry UK TV viewers:

Twitter LIT UP with comments like these from UK viewers (Via: Daily Mail)

The Ofcom spokesperson added in their aforementioned statement that:

“If we consider the potential that the broadcasting code wasn’t abided by, there is potential we would investigate. But it’s too early to speculate.”

I mean, I suppose a woman lying on her back and spreading her legs back and forth might be a bit much for a family orientated show, but whatever. It could’ve been worse, y’all. Jennifer Lopez could’ve sang the track live.

Those nostalgic for a Fresh Prince of Bel Air reunion need to watch this video.

On Friday, Will and Jaden Smith visited The Graham Norton Show and brought some special guests along with them. After discussing their newest movie, After Earth, and Will hinting that some new music may be on the way, both stars took to the mic for a quick rap.

While Jaden spit a freestyle, Will went back to his roots with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme, and the audience went crazy, as Will brought out DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribeiro to take the nostalgia to the next level.

After the four were done with the Fresh Prince theme, Ribeiro broke out his signature “Carlton” dance moves, and the four then had Norton join them for Apache (Jump On It).

Bradley Cooper and Heather Graham, who were also guests on the show, watched from the stage, dancing and laughing along with the audience.

In the second episode of “Bad Girls: All-Star Battle,” trust issues mount in the wake of a bout between Natalie and Mehgan. Elsewhere, team strategies are tested when the bad-girl all stars must go through a maze while handcuffed and blindfolded.

We’re just weeks away from the June premiere of “True Blood” Season 6, and so far, we know that there’s a huge war waging between vampires and humans that has reached a serious boiling point. And making matters even worse, “Billith” is on the rise, causing even more trouble for Bon Temps.

HBO has released another trailer, giving an extended look at the chaos going on in the small Louisiana town. Lots of blood is spilled, and in one scene, Eric is holding a stake aiming it right at Bill’s chest as Bill holds him by the throat.

Everyone’s favorite blood bath returns to TV on June 16th at 9 p.m. on HBO, and the first episode will reportedly be directed by Stephen Moyer, who stars as Bill Compton on the hit series. Expect a few new faces as well, including actress Jurnee Smollett.

[H/T: Ace Showbiz]

This episode of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” was all about chin checking and putting tricks in their place. Traci Steele got her baby daddy’s hoe parade together, Lil’ Scrappy let his mama know the real deal and Joseline had to let Stevie J know that Che Mack better stay in the back of the bus.

But the biggest reality check of them all came from Mimi when she let her gal pals K. Michelle and Ariane have it after they called her man’s roommate gay.

Among the many things wrong with K. Michelle’s brain is her obsession with calling every man she disagrees with gay.

No matter how many times she claims to be a fan of the “gays,” the pattern of using homosexuality as an emasculating insult is consistent. She did it to Kirk, calling him a “lesbian” and she does it again by calling Mimi’s boyfriend’s roommate, Johnny Crome, a gay downlow man. If you use gay as an insult consistently are you really okay with the gays?

Surprisingly, Ariane AGREES with K. Michelle’s accusation that Johnny is gay. But Mimi defends Johnny and says she’s only seen Johnny with “bad-ass bitches.”

We as the viewers, have no real evidence to make us lean one way or the other. But hold up wait a minute. As K. Michelle is yapping her mouth about Johnny’s sexuality, he creeps in talking about he heard her “chit chatting.” R’uh oh.

Shortly after, Johnny confronts K. Michelle about her whisper campaign against him and K. Michelle, surprisingly, offers to drop the matter. But Johnny presses her on it and Mimi’s boyfriend Nikko jumps in and eventually kicks K. Michelle out.

Ariane walks K. Michelle out but she returns later and gets into an argument with Nikko over he and Johnny’s tag-team confrontation of K.

That’s when World War III breaks loose and Mimi unleashes her incredible butch side. The bass enters her voice something serious and she starts YELLING at Ariane. Her ride or die chick.

Needless to say Ariane and K. Michelle are both stunned at Mimi’s betrayal and the two walk away from the video shoot arm in arm. Nikko and Johnny console Mimi and revel in their success. They got what they wanted by having Mimi turn against her friends.

UPDATE: Watch Johnny Crome and Nikko’s “NY 2 L.A.” Music Video Here!

Rasheeda Breaks the Pregnancy News to Kirk

Remember last season of LHHA how Kirk was all on Rasheeda to get her uterus ready for another fetus? Yeah, apparently a lot can change in 365 days.

Kirk has apparently been going through legal woes with his eldest son and financial woes with his brother’s health. Combined with the sad state of Rasheeda’s music career, and you have a recipe for an empty bank account and massive frustration.

Last episode, Rasheeda went to the doctor’s and confirmed that she was pregnant, so Rasheeda decides to break the news gently by leaving fertilized self down on a cozy rug by the fireplace. Kirk sits and the two start talking about their issues and then Rasheeda drops the bomb: She’s pregnant.

The look on Kirk’s face was what you’d expect his face to look like if he saw Da Brat wearing a floor-length evening gown in stiletto pumps: Confused, disturbed and baffled.

Rasheeda immediately noticed his less than enthusiastic reaction and promptly reminded Kirk that HE was the one who pushed her to put her family first.

That, he says, was then. Besides, she told him she wasn’t ready so he assumed she was taking all of the necessary precautions (i.e. the pill) to prevent pregnancy. Well, he thought wrong.

Yo, how many men are gonna get caught out there with the “I thought you were on the pill” trick? Fellas, if you’re looking to prevent pregnancy wrap it up. Every.damn.time. Y’all gon’ learn out here in these streets.

It’ll be tough to watch how this plays out, but the formerly happily married couple parts ways with Rasheeda saying she’ll take care of the baby by herself if she has to. Ouch.

Lil’ Scrappy Tells Momma Dee to Scram

For all of Momma Dee’s talk about her role on the throne and managing the crown for her son, the so-called Prince of the South, she sure does seem to find herself outside of the castle walls quite often these days.

In her continued desperation to reunite Shay and Scrappy, Momma Dee invites Scrappy over to so he can rub elbows (well, probably more than elbows…) with Shay and toast to the end of his engagement with Erica Dixon. Momma Dee even went ahead and got him an EOE (End of Engagement) cake. I suppose we should be grateful or the abbreviated acronym because if Momma Dee had to explain to the Salvadorean immigrant working at the bakery about how engagement should be spelled, we’d witness a massacre of the English language right before our eyes.

While Scrappy has played the doting son for the most part, this time he’s not having it.

He tells Momma Dee to but out of his life and he lets her know that he finds her celebration of his break-up to be distasteful.

Oh snap, is Scrappy finally manning up?

Momma Dee doesn’t take too kindly to the insubordination but she knows who’s buttering her bread so she tells Scrappy that she loves him but won’t be there to catch him if he falls. No worries, as long as she FedExes her poodle wig to act a cushion for his fall, he should do just fine.

Scrappy later meets up with his pops and his dad tells him straight up: Your mama is a problem in your life.

Who is this sensible, normal man who sounds like he has a 9-to-5 job with good health insurance and how the hell did he ever end up in bed with a female pimp who can’t spell the word “bitch”? In that order.

Stevie J Brings Che Mack Into His Sister Wives’ Circle

Last time we saw Che Mack, her graffiti-covered ass was hollering at Stevie J and Joseline on full blast while at the bar she works at.

Joseline shaded the hell out of Che and Stevie left her ass out to dry while she devolved into a turrets-inspired meltdown.

Fast forward to this episode and now we see that Stevie’s had a change of heart. Che apparently had her home broken into so she called Stevie up and he brought her a TV to comfort her and replace what was stolen.

Nevermind that Che’s home look completely undisturbed. Just nod your head and go along with the wholly implausible plot twists. If you wanted logical storylines, you wouldn’t be here in the first place.

So Stevie, in complete pimp mode, essentially invites Che Mack into the fold. Or his bus. Or whatever analogy he’s using for his circle of hoes, which includes Mimi and Joseline.

Che Mack readily agrees to be the quarterback. Homegirl is moving way too damn fast, cause Joseline Hernandez is bout to run up the middle and knock her ass dead if she so much as breathes in her general direction.

Joseline is in love with Stevie and she ain’t havin’ no competition mess with her boo thang.

Besides, Che Mack is a damn fool for believing Stevie’s gonna do something for her music career. Joseline been rollin’ with that fool for how long and she still ain’t put out not a damn iTunes single. C’mon. Even Rich Dollaz moves faster than that.

Traci Steele Is Tired of the Tricks

DJ Traci Steele is still entertaining this whole sneaker boutique thing like it’s a legit business. In reality, this whole thing is clearly a front to serve as a storyline for her on the show. Think about it: If she didn’t have this store to run with her ex, would she be spending all of this time with him on camera? Of course not.

The contrived nature of this wouldn’t be so bad if it were actually somewhat fun. Predictably, Babey Drew selects a bunch of “groupies” for his first round of interviews. His eyes twinkle as he asks the girls about their tramp stamps and flatters them with overt compliments. Traci rolls her eyes, sighs with exasperation and plays the part of a flustered wife. Too bad she doesn’t have the ring to show for all of this wasted energy.

As you can imagine, after the interviews wrap up, Traci tries to rap her baby daddy’s knuckles for once again bringing groupies into her life. But the groupies, who are standing right there as she insults them, chirp back and ask if the two of them are in a relationship.

In the blink of an eye, Traci slipped her shoes off and was ready to pounce on the groupies like a lioness on a pack of zebras. Needless to say, those “video vixens” got to running like their name was Speedy Gonzalez.

At this point, it really doesn’t make sense that Traci gets mad over her ex chasing women. He did it while they were together, heck, even while she was pregnant. So why does she act surprised every time a hoe shows up when he’s around? And furthermore, why is mad at them instead of him?

If Mona Scott-Young hopes to endear us to Traci in any way, she’s got to get her off of this dead-end storyline. Traci just looks like a crazy fool and Babey Drew is no Stevie J. So cut it out, everybody.

There comes a point where you have to say, “You not gon’ ruin my sh*t today.” Mimi Faust, has reached that point with her friends K. Michelle and Ariane.

LHHATL RECAP: Mimi Bites Back at K. Michelle and Ariane Over Gay Rumors

In an effort to support her new man, Nikko, Mimi is cast as a video girl for his wack-ass single “NY 2 LA.” Wait a minute, so Mimi is cool with being someone’s visual prop for a music video but she looks down on Joseline? Hypocrisy, party of one.

Because Mimi loves to spread the wealth, she invites her girls K. Michelle and Ariane over to the video shoot so they can gossip and chit chat. But when K. and Ariane realize that Nikko’s roommate and co-star for the video is Johnny Crome, things get tense. Word on the street is that he’s gay. Mimi says she hasn’t seen anything to make her question his sexuality but K. Michelle and Ariane are insistent.

Things get really messy though once Johnny confronts K. Michelle over what he overheard. Hot damn, hoe, here we go again.

Aside from Mimi’s mess, we also get to catch up with Joseline and Stevie J, DJ Traci Steele and Babey Drew and you won’t want to miss Rasheeda breaking the news to Kirk that she’s pregnant.

For anyone that watched Ms. Drama on The Gossip Game and her poor man’s imitation of Tiffany “New York” Pollard, you remembered that the former Flavor of Love star is one of the few reality personalities to  make a lasting impact. I used to see Tiffany and those mountains on her chest out and about in L.A., but I was wondering when she was coming back to the telly.

Apparently, sooner than we think. In an interview with Spoken Entertainment, Tiffany revealed that she recently shot a pilot with a production company. The former VH1 star also discussed her faith, her love life, and her mom.

On her reality tv comeback:

I’ve been long awaiting a hearty healthy return to reality television. And the concept would have to fit my life and where it is right now. Fortunately, three weeks ago…I shot a pilot with a brilliant production crew. The concept is bananas. When you guys see this. It’s like…we couldn’t have accepted her back in any other way. It’s true HBIC performance. It’s coming!

Will she be appearing on the “Bad Girls Club”:

No. It’s not that I’m against that…but they already got that going. Why would they need me over there?

On her love life:

Honey chile…I will say this. There is somebody in my life. And he is a big part of it. He influences me daily. I keep it real private…and that’s why it works. Sometimes when you moving in certain circles people try to infiltrate that love and test it.

On her faith:

I am a Christian. But I’m not a scary Christian. God inspires me. His whole gospel was to give back to people and to care about mankind. I do a lot of humanitarian work. Of course that does not get picked up, but when you do it from your heart….you’re not looking for recognition.

On seeing Lil’ Kim for Fashion Week:

That was amazing. I sat with her when she was getting her hair and makeup beat…and she was such a sweetheart. I can’t say anything except positive stuff about her and her team. If I was in New York a lot more…we’d be hanging out a lot.

On her Mom:

She’s doing great. I’m going to be with her this summer.

Peep the entire 15-minute interview here:

HBO released the newest trailer promoting the Season 6 premiere of “True Blood,” and I don’t know what else to say other than shit. Just. Got. REAL!

“When humans can no longer walk on their streets at night without fearing for their lives, then we have to take our streets back,” Governor Burrell (pictured above) says in an address to the public in the teaser clip. “As of this moment, we are closing down all Vampire-run businesses. That is why I say to any of you, buy a gun, stock up on wooden bullets. This is still America. You have the right to defend yourselves and the people you love.”

“True Blood” Season 6 premieres June 16th at 9 p.m. on HBO. Check out the new trailer below:

Earlier this week, Morgan Freeman made everyone LOL when he dozed off during a live television interview alongside Michael Caine while the two were promoting their new movie “Now You See Me” in New York. But as it turns out, the 75-year-old Oscar winner wasn’t asleep at all, or say he says, and he actually has a perfectly good explanation as to why it seemed that way.

Here’s what the actor wrote on Facebook last night:

Regarding my recent interview, I wasn’t actually sleeping. I’m a beta tester for Google Eyelids and I was merely taking the opportunity to update my Facebook page.

Ha! Good one. Now if that explanation isn’t a good enough for you, I don’t know what is.

In case you missed it, or if you’d like to see it again, watch hilarious recap from TMZ:

The Bible says that Jesus saves, but I’m not sure that even he could do much for Mariah Carey’s burnt out vocal cords at this point.

In a rather loopy appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, Mariah Carey just couldn’t seem to get anything right. First her dress popped and then she made goofy comments like, “I wake up at this hour. I don’t mean I wake up, I mean I go to sleep. It’s kinda the same thing for me.”

What in the what? Did Glitter-era Mariah’s spirit repossess her body? Cause this is reminding me of that bizarre time in 2001 when she crashed TRL’s set and made Carson Daly feel really awkward.

You know what, at this point, we’ve all pretty much come to accept Mariah’s quirks so no biggie.

What we haven’t accepted, however, is that Mariah can no longer pull off her signature whistle note. It’s been a staple of the Mariah Vocal Weaponery since “Vision of Love” and it sounded like it was in fine form in her latest single “Beautiful,” since she closed out the song on a glorious layered bed of those whistle notes.

But the studio is different from a live performance, and when she Mariah attempted to pull off those ad-libs, her throat struggled to pull off anything approaching a musical note. Instead, all we got were gasps of air as she strained and tried her hardest to reach the upper limits of her register.

The East Coast got to see the unfiltered mess in real time but they cleaned up her botched vocals for the West Coast.

WATCH MARIAH STRUGGLE TO HIT THE RIGHT NOTES IN THIS CLIP OF THE EAST AND WEST COAST FEEDS

Seriously, I haven’t seen a live TV performance this bad since Cassie wrecked shop on our ears with that “Me & U” performance on 106 & Park a few years back.

Do better, Mariah. Do better.

If you needed additional proof that it’s about time someone take American Idol out back, shoot it and put it out of its misery already, take note of the show signing Jennifer Hudson as a judge.

Yes, according to an E! News report, the show has signed the Oscar-winner and losing Idol contestant to a deal to work as a judge in the upcoming season. Worse, they’re trying to sign other Idol contestants, too. In their minds, this will solve the show’s rating decline.

More from E!:

Multiple sources confirm exclusively to E! News that the Oscar-winning singer has signed a deal to sit at the judges’ table this fall for season 13. The other two spots are also intended for former Idol contestants: Kelly Clarkson and either Adam Lambert or Clay Aiken.

We’re told that Clarkson is also close to signing on. No word yet on whether Lambert or Aiken will fill the final spot, but producers are expected to keep the panel to three members.

The “superstar-alum” theme is aimed at reclaiming some of Idol’s lost viewership—the series is down about 10 million viewers from two years ago, in part because of the success of The Voice.

Fox (smartly) wants to highlight Idol’s upper hand: It’s the only singing competition to actually manufacture top-selling stars.

“It’s Idol alums bringing in the next generation,” says one Fox source of the reasoning behind the casting for season 13.

So, it really goes without saying, but this is going to be a disaster. The producers of this show seem to be operating under the unfortunate impression that the problem with the show is the choice of judges.

Listen, the market is overcrowded and the show has been on for so long. Naturally, it’s going to be on the decline. Now, if they really wanted to give this show a big boost, they should’ve tapped Tommy Mottola when they had the chance. He would’ve easily filled the role of Simon Cowell.

Oh, and there’s also the issue of better talent. Still, this show was going to decline in ratings after a while because that’s what happens when a show is on for damn near forever.

Meanwhile, J. Hud’s biggest musical hit is that song she screams in the Weight Watchers commercial, but she’s gonna be an Idol judge? Oh, FOX. Good luck with that.

The last season of Love & Hip Hop: New York proved one thing: There is absolutely nothing better than Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

As much as I love Tahiry and Yandy, plus finding Joe Budden’s Hip-Hop Hannibal shtick intriguing, that show just ain’t it anymore. However, that isn’t stopping the cast members from refusing to work until they get a pay raise.

My initial reaction was, “After that wack ass season they have the nerve to demand more money? Tuh!” Then I thought about it some more and realized they’re probably being paid a few thousand per episode, plus all the shrimp fried rice they can eat. So, you know, maybe they do have a right.

TMZ reports:

Sources close to the show tell us, all cast members were supposed to be present Tuesday in NYC to film a trailer for the upcoming season, but only half of the cast showed up. The other half stayed home in protest because negotiations for their new contracts had gone sour.

We’re told the half that did show up then got upset … believing they too were entitled to revised contracts … and stormed off. We’re told most of the cast members want more money — as much as double their last contract — but there are other problems too … some are pissed at how they were portrayed last season and they want more say in what footage gets aired.

We’re told emergency meetings have since been called with the angry cast members … and they’re hoping to get what they want by the end of the week.

If they don’t … we’re told the cast members plan to stick to their guns and continue their strike for as long as necessary. We reached out to VH1 for comment — so far, no word back.

RUH ROH! (Scoopy Doo voice)

Tyrese is sticking up for quick shooters everywhere. During an appearance on Chelsea Lately earlier this week, the singer turned awful advice giver shared his thoughts on women’s complaints about “minute men.” In Black Ty’s world, you should just be happy because him quickly ejaculating is his way of showing how much he’s into you.

Tyrese explained:

“Well see, they got this thing about minute men. When you’re a minute man, women get mad, but it’s actually a compliment because if you’re in the bed for like 45 minutes and nothing is happening, you should get your life together.”

Woop! There it is. Watch below (hat tip to Miss Jia):

In “The Gossip Game” Episode 8 (the Season Finale), long running tensions come to a head, as Ms. Drama and Sharon blast each other’s character. K.Foxx causes a stir when she publicly criticizes her rivals, including Angela, Viv, and Sharon, who take their revenge at a blogger event. The fallout from that party causes a head to head blowup between radio rivals K.Foxx and Angela.

The highly publicized feud between LeAnn Rimes and Brandi Glanville has picked up some steam over the last few days.

On Monday, the “Real Housewives” star apparently had trouble reaching Rimes, her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and her two sons, who were all spending time together. So she did what any concerned parent would do, she posted a public tweet about the situation for all to see.

“Ive been trying to get a hold of my kids 4 over an hour no response to my calls, emails or messages. Maybe twitter will work,” Glanville tweeted.

Oddly enough, she forgot to use the hashtag #stoopinglow.

As expected, the frantic post prompted the singer to respond with her own tweet: “Funny, she just got off the phone w/ them. Sorry, we were doing baths, homework & dinner. All good!”

Moments later, Rimes tweeted, “the phone rang, I picked it up. Never saw this til after. All you gotta do is call.”

But she wasn’t done!

She also added, “no drama when the truth is told. Cool! Done! Nothing to it!”

This is just one of many feuds that the two have engaged in via social media. Just this past Sunday, it was reported that Rimes had flowers sent to Glanville in honor of Mother’s Day. The reality star took to Twitter to let the world know that she thanked Rimes for them.

“I thanked @leannrimes on twitter4 my flowers.Our relationship is that we still dont even say hi at baseball.I dont have her number-thats it.”

This was allegedly news to Rimes, who responded by tweeting, “[T]his was actually the first acknowledgement of my gesture I was made aware of. I didn’t see anything else sent to me. It wasn’t for the ‘thank you.’ It was to just simply say Happy Mother’s Day.”

She also retweeted a message that was probably meant to be a dig at Glanville:

“Stop giving the people who have nothing positive to say about you an ear. Ignore them and keep doing your thing.”

It’s a shame that these two feel the need to rip each other apart publicly. Not only does it reenforce the idea that women are catty and competitive but Eddie Cibrian, the man at the center of it all, has been seemingly absent from their feud.

Shouldn’t he have to face some of the hostility and anger that these women harbor towards one another?

PREVIOUSLY: “Bad Girls Club: Atlanta” (Season 10) Reunion Part 2

There have long been rumors that LisaRaye — the artist formally known as Diamond and ex-First Lady of Turks & Caicos — was dating Grace Jones’ brother, Bishop Noel Jones. Neither party ever confirmed the rumors, but AlwaysAList.com is doing that for them.

According to the site, not only have the two been dating, but they’re ready to discuss their relationship publicly…on a reality show, “shockingly.”

Yes, they report that a friend to the site attended a private screening of the upcoming Oxygen series Pastors of LA and was “taken aback” by LisaRaye’s relationship with Grace Jones with a penis.

Their source said, “I was really surprised that they were so open about their relationship. I heard the rumors that they had been dating, but all doubt was removed watching this show.” You can expect the two to go over things like LisaRaye’s church clothes or lack thereof.

Yeah, good for their love and all that, but what’s this about Pastors of LA? Really? Would Jesus watch that? Probably not, and I doubt I will either.

But, if this sounds right up your alley (heathen), here’s more:

“He basically told her that he wasn’t sure she was ‘Godly enough’ for his world, and she in turn told him he may not be ‘worldly enough’ for hers,” recalled the screening guest.

The courtship of the 46-year-old star of VH1′s “Single Ladies” and the 63-year-old megachurch pastor—who happens to be music star Grace Jones’ twin brother—isn’t the only aspect of “Pastors of LA.”

The show will also chronicle the lives of Los Angeles-based pastors Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Wayne Chaney, Bishop Ron Gibson, Pastor Jay Haizlip, and gospel singer Deitrick Haddon, who was the pastor of a Detroit church until he split from his wife and moved to L.A.

I still vote no, but God bless. Now had they signed Bishop Don “Magic” Juan to the show, they might’ve been able to sucker me into watching a few episodes. Church!

If sideburns could frown, Rasheeda’s would be turned upside down. Last season, Kirk and Rasheeda’s bond was strong like the plastic strap on pregnant Kim Kardashian’s feet, however, things aren’t so rosy this season.

It’s no secret that Rasheeda’s music career has been stalled and struggling for over a decade. We all saw the sad state of affairs ourselves when nobody showed up for that tragic “Marry Me” video premiere party.

Kirk is looking to scrounge up a dollar wherever he can, so he’s thinking that Rasheeda should take Karlie up on her offer to jump on her K. Michelle diss track.

Because Benzino is such a wise and successful businessman, Kirk decides to consult with Zino on the wisdom of having Rasheeda jump on the track with Karlie. Having been burned by his attempts at fostering beef with Eminem, Benzino knows all too well the pitfalls of embarking on this modus operandi and he advises Kirk to avoid this treacherous path.

For once, Benzino’s right.

But all Kirk can see is dollars. For some reason, he thinks a K. Michelle diss track with Karlie Redd would take over iTunes, even though K. Michelle herself ain’t even been on Billboard like that and despite Karlie Redd having less talent in her dollar-store clip-on tracks than Kim Zolciak’s whole synthetic wig.

Three flops don’t add up to a hit record, Kirk.

Rasheeda, however, is hesitant to jump on the track with Karlie because she worries about her brand. Right, cause Rasheeda’s sideburns are internationally known.

She squabbles a bit with Kirk about his refusal to support her in making her e-commerce business a brick-and-mortar reality. But Kirk points out that would require rent, utilities, employees and insurance. You know, the things that real businesses have to face. Rasheeda doesn’t appreciate the reality check so she cuts Kirk with her eyes and the two part ways.

Yeah, it looks like the only married couple on LHHA is headed for the same ratchet rollercoaster that all of the other single hoodrats on the show are riding on.

DJ Traci Steele Stay Crying Over Spilt Milk

The DJ Traci babymama saga is more pathetic than it is dramatic. Traci is hung up on an eagle-faced man who ditched her more than 7 years ago and she still can’t stand to see this man with another woman. Is this woman gonna be 50 and still weeping over this man’s high-yellow peen?

Last episode, DJ Traci walked over to her babydaddy Baby Drew’s house with her $25,000 check in hand to invest in his sneaker boutique or something. But she got all fussy and musty when she realized that Baby Drew had company over. Namely, a “popcorn microwavable bitch.”

After blowing up in his apartment and melting down in her minivan in the parking lot, DJ Traci starts out this episode with a lunch date with Drew to “hash things out.”

Once again, Traci gets all misty-eyed and starts sobbing as she relives her pregnancy when Drew cheated on her while she was six months pregnant. He doesn’t really flinch and he just straight up asks her to cut another check to replace the one she tore up when they were in the parking lot.

The man may be a jerk, but at least he’s consistent.

Joseline Is Officially Signed

After screwing each other’s brains out, Joseline and Stevie emerge from another bedroom romp dressed in white bath robes toasting to success. Apparently, Joseline has been signed to a “major international label.” Man, these mofos on LHHA be stretching facts when it comes to the music biz. Remember when Karlie Redd was signed to Young Money? LOL!

Anyway, maybe this means we’ll finally get to hear some official music from Joseline. But while the record deal is worth celebrating, it’s not enough for Joseline. She wants more from her sugar bear. She wants love. Real love.

In the most tortured attempt at providing a definition of a man, Joseline tells Stevie that he’s not doing enough for her and loving her the way he should.

WTF? How did the baddest bitch become a softie? I thought Joseline was all about that money and her kooty kat? Now she wanna be all Romeo and Juliet with Master Splinter? Get outta here.

After he snuggles with Joseline, Stevie rolls into the studio to meet up with the tatted up Che Mack. Miss Ed is thirsting for some relevance and hit music so she’s eager to get back into Stevie’s good graces. But she’s a little bitter because she feels like their last arrangement was purely an attempt to make Joseline jealous and angry. Duh. Did you think you were the next Nicki Minaj or something?

As if to prove the point of her struggle life, the next time Stevie and Che meet, it’s at a bar. Where she’s working as the bar tender. Damn, homie.

Che is an eager beaver who screams at the top of her lungs that she “ready to worrrrrkkkkk!” To prove how willing she is to do what it takes, she points out that she lost 10 pounds and got braces. In fact, she’s even willing to work with Joseline, the self-described Puerto Rican Princess.

Unfortunately for her, Joseline ain’t got time for dat.

Che tries to introduce herself to Ms. Hernandez but Joseline acts like Che Mack doesn’t even exist. After tapping Joseline furiously on the shoulder several times, Joseline slowly turns around and grits on Che Mack before cooly saying, “I don’t talk to the help.”

HOT DAMN. First Josie’s throwing barbs at Mimi calling her a maid and now she’s calling Che “the help.” What did domestic workers ever do to Miss Joseline?

The Mystery of the Joseline Sex Tape

Even though Joseline TALKS about her kooty kat all the time, and even though she used to be a stripper, for some reason the existence of some sex tape is ruffling her feathers. If you’ve busted it wide open in the club for dirty one-dollar bills, why the hell would you be mad about a damn sex tape?

I guess Mona saw how far that sex tape thing took Kim Kardashian so she decided to get herself a piece of that pie by throwing this foolishness in the mix.

So Benzino goes to the studio to confront Karlie Redd about this Joseline sex tape that she claims he showed her. He insists he did no such thing, she refutes his denial and before you know it, the female gremlin is throwing things at Benzino and calling him a liar.

This might’ve been entertaining if I could be bothered to give a damn about a Karlie Redd or a Benzino.

Later, at the end of the episode, Karlie meets up with Stevie and Joseline to have a come to Jesus moment over this whole saga. While Joseline was ki-king with Karlie the last time we saw her, this time she’s back to hating her. As soon as Joseline eyeballs Karlie Redd she goes off on her “old” ass for having her name in her mouth.

The two attempt to engage in a discussion but nothing productive comes out of either bird’s mouths and before you know it, they’re trying to tussle.

Mona, please find a more meaningful role for Karlie Redd on this show or axe her character. This petty existence isn’t worth our precious time.

Mimi’s Got a New Man

When Mimi said she was done with Stevie J’s wandering wonderstick, I guess she really wasn’t playing. Mimi reached back to her past and dug up one of her old ninja turtles named Nikko so he could come and make her kitty purr.

While Nikko doesn’t have Stevie’s trademark rat face, he does lick his lips like his name is LL Cool J.

Frankly, the chemistry between Mimi and Nikko ain’t really there, but you can tell Nikko enjoys being a boy toy because when he meets up with Mimi and her gal pals at the club, he immediately offers to take off his shirt.

Does this negro think he’s Tyson Beckford?

Mimi sure knows how to pick ‘em: Vain, dumb and nothin’ but bum.
