RICK ROSS DROPPED BY REAL BOSSES.. REEBOK DUE TO DATE RAPE LYRICS

See being an ignorant fool doesn't always pay huh?  Just weeks after releasing a brand new commercial with rapper Rick Ross, Reebok has dropped him for his disparaging lyrics that seemingly condoned date rape. 

Bosses at sportswear firm Reebok have dumped rapper Rick Ross as a brand spokesman following the controversy surrounding his date-rape lyrics in Rocko’s new song “U.O.E.N.O. (You Ain’t Even Know It).”

The hip-hop star sparked a storm of protest from women’s rights groups with his ill-advised rap, in which he joked about putting Ecstasy in a girl’s champagne.

Ross rhymed, “Put Molly all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.”

The rap star has since apologized for the lyrics, but that wasn’t enough for activists, who called on Reebok bosses to drop him as an ambassador.

The international sneaker brand also released a statement:

Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.

Welp, I know the ‘Fat Man’ is mad about this one. This goes to show that we the consumer have the actual control. Celebrities should never get too comfortable.

VH1 BASKETBALL WIVES LA CANCELLED!

Won't shed a tear over this stupid show, and maybe this will be an ongoing trend of getting rid of brain dead reality showS.  And yes we know we are fan of a couple of ones such as RHOA, but this one right here....good riddance!

The rumors are swirling that ‘Basketball Wives LA’ has been cancelled by VH1 due to low ratings. According to 4umf.com:

The insider tells it all, “There will NOT be a Season 3.”

Compared to the first season’s two million viewers per episode, only a little over one million viewers have tuned in each week since the premiere of the show’s new season. The storylines on this show are oh-so-boring, no ONE cares!
And if you’re wondering about ‘Basketball Wives Miami,’ the show is scheduled to return in August, but may also be getting the pink slip !

GOT $350,000? JAY Z SELLING HIS OWNERSHIP IN THE NETS, TO JUST BE AN AGENT

Jay-Z is making business deals this week.

In addition to the deal Jay closed this week to bring his Roc Nation company back under a corporate fold with Universal Music Group (UMG) after spending time at Sony, the entertainment mogul and occasional rapper is quietly making arrangements to sell his 1 percent of the Brooklyn Nets in order to get fully on-board with the agent end of the business for Roc Nation Sports, Yahoo! Sports reports.

The move makes it so that Jay Z can compete for players entering this year’s NBA draft in June.

Agents are reportedly thinking that signing with Jay and Roc Nation Sports is a joke, but the key to this is that Hov won’t be involved in the day-to-day operations side of the business.

Already on board with Roc Nation Sports are the Yankees’ Robinson Cano and Giants’ free agent Victor Cruz.

JAY-Z & BEYONCE CUBA TRIP APPROVED BY THE US GOVERNMENT

Beyoncé and Jay-Z traveled to Cuba last week, but the highly-publicized trip didn’t come without controversy. After being criticized for their visit to the communist country, it has been revealed that they received approval from the U.S. government.

According to Reuters, the superstar couple’s cultural trip was fully licensed by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The U.S. trade embargo against Cuba prevents most Americans from traveling to the island without a license. However, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s vacation was planned as a “people-to-people” cultural visit and involved no meetings with Cuban officials, or typical tourist activity (i.e. trips to the beach). Even a walk around Havana was led by Miguel Coyula, one of the city’s leading architects.

Two Cuban-American members of Congress from South Florida raised questions about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s travels, inquiring about their license in a letter to the Treasury Department.
The couple spent their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba, dining at famous restaurants and visiting local artists and nightclubs. They were met with crowds and paparazzi, who documented their every move.

While an embargo is still in place, President Obama has eased restrictions on travel to Cuba for academic, religious, or cultural programs.

VIDEO: CIARA DISCUSS RELATIONSHIP WITH FUTURE & RIHANNA BEEF

 Who knew? ...Ciara express her feelings about rapper Future and the issues between she and Rihanna in a recent interview. For weeks people have been talking and now we get to hear it from her mouth.

Theybf reports Ciara recently chatted with The Qdeezy Show on Philly’s Hot 107.9 where she discussed the making of One Woman Army, but most importantly, she opened up about rapper Future and the issues with Rihanna. It was a rare moment of “openness” from the famously private singer. Here are the highlights:

On why she’s finally being open about her life/relationships:

Relationship wise, I use to be really private and protective over a lot of stuff and I feel like now, it’s like why be afraid? Live your life. Somebody is going to judge you, no matter what, one way or another so just live your life and be comfortable in it.

On meeting Future and how they began dating:

We actually met working at first and our relationship was very organic. He is an amazing guy. Like, he is really a gentleman and I don’t want to say too much and then he’s like, ‘Babe, you’re saying a whole lot,’ but he really is just an amazing man. It’s like when we were working on the personal side of things, I really saw an amazing person and the way that he approached me since day one is just the way a man is supposed to be from my perspective.

It just really organically happened that way. I didn’t expect anything to come from us working together. I didn’t even know what to expect from going into the studio with him and then we began to meet each other and everything just began to flow. He is really cool, like he is my friend too. So I felt something really unique from the beginning and then it just organically went this way.

On what she likes about Future:

I think it was a collection of things [but] I’m going to try and keep this really short. He is just a true gentleman like whether it’s just naturally opening the door for you or like…. I never had to ask him to do that. I hope he doesn’t kill me but just little things like he pays attention to the things you say. And then he and I are both Scorpios, so we share a lot of things [in common] and so when we are having conversations, a lot of things were really clicking and I’m like ‘Yo!’ I just felt it.

I can’t even explain everything but it was a combination of things because it can’t just be one day, great conversation and then boom, like it was a series of events and experiences with a person. And again, it’s the small things that really matter. […] When people ask me what I like, I say ‘I like a guy that can be tough on the outside but they have to have a heart on the inside’ and the one thing you’ll know about him is that he has a heart and he is just super cool.

On her relationship with Rihanna:

There is no relationship…

On if she has an issue with Rihanna:

If something is supposed to happen, it’ll happen. But even when it pertains to her I never had an issue with her. So I don’t know what it is, I can’t figure it out. I guess I don’t care to figure it out. But I always came from a place of love and support for her ever since we hung out a little bit, or whatever it is. So she’s on whatever she’s on, and it is what it is.

 Of course Rihanna being a hot mess just couldn't let C-error have this one instead she had to respond. After the interview went viral, Rihanna responded to a NAVY fan who posted a photo about the interview.

46 YEAR OLD HALLE BERRY PREGANT EXPECTING SECOND CHILD

Halle Berry is pregnant. A rep for "The Call" actress confirmed that Berry, 46, is expecting her second child with her fiancé, French actor Olivier Martinez, 47.

According to TMZ, Berry is three months pregnant and has been informed of the baby's gender: a son. Meanwhile, a source for E! News spoke out about Berry's pregnancy Friday, saying: "Halle and Olivier are really excited. It's a blessing. They can't wait to have a baby together."

Berry made news recently for waging a difficult and nasty custody battle with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry over their 5-year-old daughter, Nahla. The estranged couple reached "an amicable" settlement in November 2012, despite a brawl between Aubry and Martinez that erupted over Thanksgiving weekend and ended in a black eye for Aubry and mutual restraining orders.
