NICK CANNON WRITING A TELL ALL BOOK ABOUT FAILED MARRIAGE TO MARIAH CAREY

If we were Mariah, we would have to slip Nick the quote "snitches get stitches"!  Sources confirm Nick Cannon has inked a deal to write an explosive tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey… 

From The Daily Mail

Nick Cannon has signed and sealed a deal to write a tell-all book about his marriage to Mariah Carey - and she is furious about him betraying her.

Mariah rejected Nick's numerous demands for a $30 million divorce settlement so now he's writing the book — saying he plans get his payday for being married to her one way or another - and there is nothing she can do about it because he already signed the deal last week with major publishing company Simon and Schuster.

Simon & Schuster has confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the book is being published by Gallery Books, an imprint of the high-powered publisher.

'Nick says he is going to tell the world about Mariah's drug use, her strange eating habits, psychosis, what she has said about other artists, her sexual proclivities and her parenting skills. It which will really be hurtful,' the insider continued.

'And Nick is also going to explain why he thinks he should have full custody of the twins. Mariah has admitted she never wanted children and Nick is going to tell the world why she felt that way.
'If Nick was not willing to spill all of their nasty and salacious secrets he would not have gotten a book deal. So obviously, Simon and Schuster feel this is going to be a blockbuster and they signed him up.'

'Mariah was willing to give Nick $10 million but he said 'hell no' and demanded $30,' a family friend tells the Daily Mail exclusively.

'Mariah says it is what they agreed to in the prenup before they got married.
But Nick insisted he needs and deserves more than what they originally talked about, but Mariah wouldn't budge.

STRIPPER AMBER ROSE HOPES TO GET BACK WITH WIZ KHALIFA

Amber Rose still has love for Wiz Khalifa. The former video vixen took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt letter to her ex-husband, who she named her “Man Crush Everyday.”

She hopes that they get back together and says that Wiz remains the love of her life despite their separation.

Amber goes on to say:

My #ManCrushEveryday you know what it is.... We went wrong somewhere and even if we never ever get back together ( Even tho I pray, dream and hope we do) he will forever be the love of my life.

He's the only one who can. Regardless of how our lives Turn out in the long run he will always be the skinny tatted up stoner that has my heart ❤️

She admits that she is unhappy without him and that he will always have her heart. “I’m sick of putting on a front like I’m happy without him. I’m not. He makes me happy. He’s the only one who can.”

The couple, who has a two-year-old son named Sebastian together, wed in July 2013. Amber filed for divorce from the rapper in September amidst rumors of infidelity.

BEYONCÉ AND BLUE IVY ARE FLOSSIN’

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy are reppin’ H-town, while promoting dental hygiene. Bey posted an adorable GIF on Instagram of her and her three-year-old daughter rocking matching round shades with floss picks in their mouths. Blue even throws up the peace sign, while a chopped-and-screwed song with the lyrics “flossin'” and Jay Z’s ad libs plays in the background (could it be something new?).

"HELL FREEZES OVER" OPRAH GIVES MAN WITH 34 KIDS 17 BABY MAMA'S A REALITY SHOW

Trash TV makes it's way to OWN....Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network is banking on a man who can’t stop procreating. According to Variety, OWN ordered a pilot of a reality show that will feature Jay Williams of Atlanta.

Williams first appeared on Iyanla VanZant’s “Iyanla: Fix My Life” and detailed how he fathered 34 kids by 17 women. The new reality show will follow Williams as he interacts with the 17 mothers and his attempt at being a good father.

Of course, there was extreme backlash on Twitter after the announcement was initially made. Many Twitter users questioned Winfrey’s integrity and suggested that she was exploiting Williams’ unfortunate situation.

In 2013, rapper Shawty Lo filmed a pilot for a reality show that showcased his 11 kids by 10 women. However, the show, “All My Babies’ Mamas,” was canceled due to criticism by several popular bloggers and a Change.org petition that viewed it as a poor representation of Black culture.

We see this man whole check going to child support. Williams’ show will debut on OWN in September.

NEW FACE OF BEAUTY LUPITA NYONG'O HARPER'S BAZAAR UK

Oscar-Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o is covering the May 2015 issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.

Shot by photographed by Alexi Lubormirski and styled by Miranda Almond, the newly appointed Lancome brand ambassador rocks dresses by Louis Vuitton and wears a Chopard ring on the cover. Peep a few excerpts.

On her previous fear of dancing:

My older sister would dance with abandon,’ she continues. ‘She would do it to entertain. I was so mortified at the thought of wiggling my body in any direction. And I wrestled with myself, because I didn’t want to be so self-conscious. I wanted to be able to enjoy music and not care that I looked cute. I don’t know when something switched in my head, but I’m so

glad it did, because I feel like dancing, and being able to enjoy one’s body for oneself is such a precious, precious thing. For yourself, you know?’ She pauses. ‘If this had happened to me at a time when I couldn’t dance – ha – my God, I think I would be way more of a wreck.

 On believing the buzz surrounding her would end after the Oscars: 

‘You know, I thought it would come to an end after the Oscars.’ She means the frenzy. ‘I thought the Oscars would come and go and then all of a sudden everything would be back to normal and I’d be back in my apartment.’

BYE WIGS....NEW SHOW NE NE LEAKES & KIM ZOLCIAK TRAVEL "THE ROAD TO RICHES"

Bravo really stretching on this one!  Once notorious for their on-camera feuds, former enemies Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak Biermann will soon be back together on TV with a brand new show.

Bravo announced  the reunion on Monday that the Real Housewives of Atlanta standouts will executive produce and star in the forthcoming series, which follows the pair as they take an epic road trip. 

According to a network statement, "Atlanta's 'most driven' Housewives … drive out of their comfort zones and across the country to discover America on a one-of-a-kind adventure." 

"The road to L.A. may be paved with good intentions, but that doesn't mean they won't occasionally drive each other crazy." 

While both Housewives have already starred in their own spinoffs – Zolciak Biermann's Don’t be Tardy has filmed three seasons while Leakes's I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding documented her second marriage to then ex-husband Gregg – this new series is a first for the RHOA alums. 

This just proves Bravo will make a show about anything.  #byewig

Cheeky!

Black Girls Rock is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young women and impacting how the media affects women.

Also at the ceremony was First Lady Michelle Obama, who spoke during the BET broadcast.

The 51-year-old wore a stunning off the shoulder white dress as she took the stage to congratulate Making A Difference award winner Chental-Song Bembry. 

Erykah Badu also performed during the show, sporting an eclectic look made up of denim overalls as well as a patterned overcoat, beaded necklace, and a large, black hat.

AUBREY O’DAY AND SHANNON BEX FORM DUO DUMBLONDE

And then there were two. Following Danity Kane’s demise, former band members Aubrey O’Day and Shannon Bex have formed a new duo called dumblonde.

Aubrey took to social media to make the announcement on Sunday. “Today begins a new chapter. Thank you for always standing by us, this new music project is for u!” she tweeted along with some sexy promo pics.

But don’t expect the same sound. According to TMZ, the duo’s music will be more EDM than R&B or pop. “Think Charli XCX and Tove Lo,” wrote the site.

They are working on an EP and are selling tickets to a listening party on April 11.

Danity Kane announced their break up in August 2014 after an altercation between Aubrey and fellow groupmate Dawn Richard.

“I think we’ve done enough to everybody. You can’t get people’s hopes up like that and then shit on ‘em consistently,” Dawn told  the media in January. “I think we’ve tarnished the name so badly…We left a bad taste in everybody’s mouth.”

dumblonde made its first public appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. You can follow them on Twitter and Instagram.
