TV Land has signed Vivica A. Fox to host its upcoming reality series “The Cougar.”
“I’m so excited to be the guide for ‘The Cougar’s’ quest for love,” said Fox, who has a recurring role on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” “This show will prove to be empowering and enlightening for women everywhere. Plus, 20 hot guys gathered under one roof doesn’t hurt.”
“Cougar” is an eight-episode series where an older woman searches for love among a pool of younger bachelors. The show is produced by Mike Fleiss (”The Bachelor”) and Warner Horizon Television. It is scheduled to premiere April 15.
Fantasia to get High School Diploma!!!
Here’s an excerpt:
"I've been talking about [getting my diploma] for so long … I have a lot of young people who look up to me, like my 15-year-old brother and 7-year-old daughter. It's something that I really need to do and that I want to do."
And there’s more. Here’s how Fantasia claims that she got over the shock of having her home foreclosed:
"I had to sit back for awhile and had to get some things settled. I had been with a lot of people not doing what they said they were going to do.
I didn't have time to sit back and cry. I didn't have time to go to a mental health counselor. I had to keep my s--t on straight—excuse my language!—and handle my business, because it's not just about me. It's about me and my whole family."
Hidden TRANNY on For the Love of Ray J!
VH1 is playing a bad joke on Ray J. They have cast a TRANNY on his show. A source has confirmed there is in fact a boy/girl cast member. At the very least it just serves the producers to seed controversy for the internet to GO CRAZY over and bring eyes to the channel.
Can you pick out the Tranny?? Honestly, I think I know who it is!

Michael Phelps Loses Kellog Sponsor & Suspended From Swimming!
Man you should've knew not to take pictures while your smoking the ses:
U.S. swimming officials announced Thursday they were barring Phelps from competing for three months and withdrawing financial support from him for a period of “reprimand,” CNN reports. “This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming-member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” USA Swimming announced in a statement. “Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust,” the statement continued. Meanwhile, Kellogg Co. announced that……the Olympian’s behavior is “not consistent with the image of Kellogg,” and that it would not renew his contract, which expires at the end of February. The swimmer appeared on Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes cereal boxes after winning a record eight gold medals over the summer at the Beijing games. On Wednesday, Phelps told the Baltimore Sun that it “definitely wasn’t easy” explaining those pot pics to his mom, Debbie — especially after he’d already gotten in hot water with her when he was arrested in 2004 for DUI at age 19.
Is T.I. Gonna be the Next President of Atlantic Records?!
T.I is doing big things and making moves:
“It’s among the realm of possibilities,” he coyly told MTV News on Wednesday.
The rapper was referring to the chance that he might succeed Atlantic Records executive Julie Greenwald. It was announced Thursday morning (February 5) that Greenwald had been promoted to chairman and chief operating officer of the label. She previously served as Atlantic Records Group president since 2004, when she joined the company following a stint at Island Def Jam Records.
Currently, T.I. oversees his own Grand Hustle Records imprint. The company is home to a number of recording artists, including Young Dro, Big Kuntry and DJ Drama, each of whom is signed to different labels through deals brokered by Tip and his business partner and manager Jason Geter. The Atlanta entertainment entity also helped produce T.I.’s upcoming reality special “Road to Redemption,” set to premiere next week on MTV.
When asked to confirm or refute the rumored appointment, Tip skated around the question. “Ah, man, when I [do] speak upon it, it will be fact,” he said.
Before the rapper can think about new career paths
, however, he has a number of appearances he’s scheduled to make, most notably his Grammy performance of “Swagga Like Us,” which will feature all four collaborators — T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye West — coming together for the first time to rap the record live. Then, of course, there’s the prison sentence he’s preparing for, so any talk of the Atlantic Records post has to wait.
“I think I have another obligation I have to take care of that may supersede that,” he said.
Etta James- Don't Worry Beyonce, She's Really Not Gonna Whoop Your Ass
It was just a comedy section of her performance she "claims". We all know she wants to whoop that ass:
Singer Etta James says she was only trying to get a laugh when she said she “can’t stand” Beyoncé and made fun of President Obama’s ears during a concert in Seattle.
James told the Daily News Thursday she meant no harm when she poked fun at the President and ripped Beyoncé for her performance of James’ hit “At Last” during the inauguration.
“I didn’t really mean anything,” James said. “Even as a little child, I’ve always had that comedian kind of attitude. … That’s probably what went into it.”
Still, James acknowledged being miffed she wasn’t invited to perform her signature song for Obama’s first dance with his wife on inauguration night.
James said she was “feeling left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around.”
She said she liked Beyoncé’s performance, but when asked if she thought she could have done better, James answered, “I think so. That’s a shame to say that.”
James made the controversial comments before performing the song at a concert in Seattle last week. She began by saying of Obama, “You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?”
She went on to say about Beyoncé, “I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped.”
James said Thursday she kept the insults rolling only because the crowd was laughing so hard, a reaction that can be heard on a recording.
“Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle,” she said. “They were all laughing, and it was funny.”
She said the jokes were “not from a vicious place.”
James pointed out that she posed for a picture and spoke with Beyoncé last year before the premiere of “Cadillac Records,” in which the young singer portrays the 71-year-old legend.
As for Obama, James said she “always thought he was handsome and he was cool.”
“I still had my joke about him,” she said. “That might be horrible. The President might not ever like me in life.”
She questioned how upset Obama could possibly be about the barb: “He’s got other stuff [to worry about] besides Etta James.”
