Boomerang 2.0: Toni Braxton & Eddie Murphy Are Dating??

Written By Ms_Toni at 12:48 in Celebrity Couples

I don’t normally get excited or interested in a lot of celebrity couples (unless there’s some kind of wedding announcement about Maxwell…then I’m looking for answers…*side-eye*) but I have to say, in my mind, this is a really cute pairing! According to US Weekly, singer Toni Braxton and actor Eddie Murphy have been dating for the past four months!

Apparently, Eddie was spotted backstage at Toni‘s Feb. 19 L.A. concert. I guess he could be a fan (Toni debuted on the soundtrack to his 1992 hit movie Boomerang) but we usually don’t see Eddie out and about with another woman unless it’s a love interest. And considering Toni has a reality TV show, that’s a long time for this to get missed. You know, if it turns out to be true. I think I’m gonna listen to my Boomerang soundtrack CD just on the chance it is though! Read what their reps had to say and what the insider has said, when you continue… Continue Reading →

Meet Iggy Azalea: Who Is She & What Does She Do?

Written By MrsGrapevine 2 at 10:28 in Celebrity Beef, Celebrity Fashion, Celebrity Magazine, Celebrity Music, Celebrity News

I know you’ve seen a lot of buzz about T.I. and this blond bombshell, Iggy Azalea. But if you’re like me, you heard of Iggy Azalea, but you really don’t know who she is and you’ve only listen to one or two songs, if that. After seeing her in the studio with T.I. talking about throwing money, I wanted to take a second listen at this striking beauty from Australia with the forced hood-ish accent. Last night I searched through Youtube, falling in love with her angles and appreciating her style, but not sure if I can call her the truth. Today, she covers XXL Magazine on the Freshman Class 2012 issue; the first female rapper in the history of the list. But who is she really?

From the looks of this cover with French Montana, rap music has certainly gone global and multicultural, with Iggy Azalea as the face of globalization. I never thought I would see a white Australian girl on the cover of XXL magazine for her rapping skills, and yet, Continue Reading →

Cops Investigating Murder At Rick Ross’ Florida Home

Written By Ms_Toni at 10:07 in Celebrity Crimes

Not a good way to start off the day, I’d say. According to TMZ, cops in Miami Gardens, Florida are looking to talk to rapper Rick Ross after the body of a dead man was discovered outside of his home early this morning.

Law enforcement sources tell us … Ross was NOT home at the time of the shootingand at this point in the investigation, he’s not considered a suspect.

We’re told cops found the victim laying inside a gate at the home.

Yikes. They’ve said that Rick wasn’t home at the time but they haven’t said if the home was totally empty. And if that’s the case, then I’m assuming who ever would be at the home would be someone that Rick would know. That’s starting to sound like some CSI type stuff, right about now. So what does the people in Rick Ross’ camp have to say about this? Continue Reading →

Reality Star Omarosa Is Now An Ordained Minister

Written By Ms_Toni at 15:27 in Celebrity News

Ever since her first appearance on Donald Trump‘s The Apprentice, Omarosa Manigault has been the woman that America loves to hate. And with good reason. Her cutthroat style and aggressive tactics made it hard for anyone to like her and she seemed to not mind that role at all. She’s appeared on a number of reality shows, including NBC’s Fear Factor and TV One‘s The Ultimate Merger, a dating show that ended with Omarosa being single. Womp. But according to The Christian Post, it now seems as if her negative days are over, since she’s now Reverend Omarosa.

The former TV star was already serving as an assistant pastor at her home church, the Weller Street Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles, Ca. After a year of service, she was unanimously approved to become a reverend by the ordination committee of the church in mid-February.

After once playing the villain role for television shows, Omarosa announced her enrollment in seminary school in 2009 and received her preacher’s license in February 2011. Her ordination now gives her the authority to officiate Christian marriages, funerals and baptisms.

Wow. Talk about complete 180 degree turn. I wonder how her boyfriend actor Michael Clarke Duncan feels about her change. Maybe he helped inspired this new positive outlook on life for her. And it seems as if she’s in this thing for the long haul… Continue Reading →

Written By MrsGrapevine 2 at 11:57 in Celebrity Beef, Celebrity Twitter

Nicki Minaj-stans, also known as Barbs, attacked singer Jill Scott on twitter last night, simply because Jill Scott was not a fan of Nicki Minaj’s Grammy performance. 97% of the people were not a fan of Nicki Minaj’s Grammy performance, honestly it lacked originality and most people DO NOT want to be subjected to evil spirits in their television, we’ve all scene Poltergeist.
