LHHA’s Kirk Hints At Divorce With Rasheeda, ‘Me & Rasheeda are friends for sure Denies Rasheeda Is Pregnant by Scrappy!
It seems that most of us are rooting for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Rasheeda and hubby Kirk Frost. But only four episodes into season two, the couple are seemingly going through a rough time. Financial and communication issues and a baby on the way has spelled trouble for the Kirk household. Earlier this month, rumors swirled that the pair are heading to divorce court, questions about his sexuality were raised and maybe Rasheeda is pregnant with cast mates Scrappy’s baby. In an interview with Hip Hop Daily Press, Kirk addresses (as much as he can) rumors that he and divorce are heading towards divorce, why he intervened in the infamous ‘candle throwing’ incident with K.Michelle and Rasheeda, and rumors that he’s gay. Peep a few excerpts:
On how he feels about season two, as opposed to season one:
Season one, things went well but with season 2 we should get a lot more out of it. You can’t have a call in it. You wake up and you hear all these things about yourself. I deal with so much on a daily. I’m still learning, behind the scenes and for me to be where I’m at now, Im still making an adjustment to it.
On rumors that this will be his last season on LHHA:
I would do it. There is some type of enjoyment that you get out of the work as well. I’m not looking to not do Love & Hip Hop. There is so much going on in the second season, I can’t even think where do we go from here.
The most challenging part of him being in a relationship with Rasheeda:
That’s [the business] the most challenging part about the relationship other than the relationship itself. Rasheeda is my friend, we’re always gonna be friends and thats the good part about it. We are argue back and forth like brothers and sisters in a way because the artist thing, she has things she thinks she should do as an artist and I have things I think she should do as an artist. With her being a wife she can do things that an artist cant do, which again I try to tell her if she were another artist it wouldn’t work this way.
Why He Intervened In The K.Michelle and Rasheeda Altercation:
I tried to stay out of the Rasheeda and K.Michelle thing, but when it came to the point where K.Michelle picked up the candle, everybody’s says candle wax, but it was a glass candle and she threw it at Rasheeda’s face. If Rasheeda’s reflexes were any slower, you could have bust an eye or knocked a tooth out.
Rasheeda is pregnant at this time. Everybody is not getting the just of why I’m stepping to her. TV is one thing, working is another thing but you permanent scarring her or hurting her that way, thats not part of what we signed up for. That’s my son’s mom, that’s my wife.
If he and Rasheeda are getting a divorce:
Have things gotten rough for us? Yes. You guys are gonna see a lot of it on the show. A lot of the stuff honestly we put it on broadway. You are gonna get a lot deeper into Kirk and Rasheeda. Me and Rasheeda are definitely friends for sure. Rasheeda is really emotional right now, she really is pregnant.
If Rasheeda Is Pregnant By Scrappy:
No. Rasheeda is not pregnant by Scrappy. People hear me say one thing and then run with the rumors.
On His Sexuality:
I am straight as I can be. I don’t like guys, never wanna like guys, never been gay, never will be gay.
And there you have it!
Is Rihanna The Most Eligible B***h In Town?
Rihanna has no worries literally and she is over the Chris Brown back and forth drama once and for all. Rihanna states that she wants someone who will be loyal and respect her. She has grown tired of the back and forth according to sources.
According to Hollywood Life Rihanna was mainly focused on her tour and getting to the money and is reportedly not worried about rushing into a new romance – though she is open to the option if it ever comes.
“If someone comes across her path, and they’re both feeling it, then she’d make a move,” the insider continued. “But my b***h isn’t searching for anybody. She’s not thirsty, that’s all.”
While Rihanna seems to be enjoying the single life, rumors went into overdrive this week when Karreuche was spotted with Chris in his car with him when he rear-ended another vehicle in Los Angeles. But despite the pair appearing practically inseparable, those close to the ‘Yeah 3x’ singer insist he’s not getting serious with Tran, or anyone else.
“He ain’t about to hop into a relationship and be serious with anybody,” a close pal told HollywoodLife. “Not Rihanna and not Karrueche.”
“He ain’t about to be forced into doing anything,” the source went on. “He’s in a serious relationship with his music, his career and his life. He’s doing him, and learning about Chris these days!” Deep.
Yeah whatever Chris……
The amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala Raises $25 Million With Help Of Celebs
Janet Jackson was amongst several other celebrities that supported amfAR this week. She looked simply divine as she attended the 20th Annual Cinema Against AIDS Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France.
Since its inception in 1985, Janet has reportedly donated over $150 million dollars to the organization. Not that she can’t afford to. According to recent reports, she has now joined the billionaire’s club and did so without the aid of her billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana. But, Forbes is disputing that claim…

Kendrick Lamar On The Molly Craze “It’s Time To Move On”
This is why I love me some Kendrick Lamar, he is not about following the crowd. Kendrick Lamar recently issued a PSA at the end of his “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” video, flashing the message: “Death To Molly.”
The Compton MC then called out the MDMA drug, which has landed rappers like Rick Ross in trouble for slipping it into their lyrics. “Sometimes you have the trends that’s not that cool. You may have certain artists portraying these trends and don’t really have that lifestyle and then it gives off the wrong thing,” K. Dot told Sway. “And it becomes kinda corny after a while. It’s about keeping hip-hop original and away from the corniness.”
I couldn’t agree with him, like this Molly craze is really getting out of control if you ask me. “When everybody consciously now uses this term or this phrase and putting it in lyrics, it waters the culture down,” he added. “So it’s really just time to move on.”
SPLITVILLE: Tim Duncan And Wife Amy Are Divorcing??
A divorce case filed here two months ago that bears only the initials of the husband and wife has all the hallmarks of being that of Spurs star Tim Duncan and his wife, Amy.
The case is playing out in Bexar County District Court. Court papers filed last week include a request that legal discovery in the case be postponed until after the Spurs’ last playoff game.
Efforts to confirm Thursday that the legal proceedings involve Tim Duncan, 37, and Amy, 35, were unsuccessful.
But there are a few other clues in the case that point to the couple:
The style of the case is A.S.D. vs. T.T.D. Tim Duncan’s middle name is Theodore.
The petition says the couple married on or about July 21, 2001, which coincides with the date of the Duncans’ nuptials.
Two children were born to the parties in the petition: A daughter with the initials S.I.D., born June 27, 2005, and a son, W.D.D., born Aug. 3, 2007.
The Duncans have a daughter, Sydney, who reportedly was born on that date. Their son, Draven, is believed to have been born in 2007, though an exact birth date couldn’t be determined.
The Duncans were college sweethearts at Wake Forest University, where Tim starred on the Deacons basketball team and Amy was a cheerleader. Tim graduated in 1997 and was the first overall pick in the NBA draft, made by the Spurs.
A.S.D. initiated the divorce proceedings on March 27. T.T.D responded with a counter petition that was filed Monday.
Richard Orsinger, one of A.S.D.’s divorce lawyers, wrote in an email that he had nothing to say on the subject.
You didn’t hear this from me….But I heard Love & Hip Hop New York Cast Pissed At Contracts, Holding Strike Against VH1
Let’s say, we’re just not that surprised by this rumor. Of course it could be absolutely false, but chances are, there’s some truth to it. We’ll share our insight towards the end. Here’s the skinny. According to TMZ, the cast of Love & Hip Hop New York is trying to increase their business hustle and up the ante with their contract negotiations. Reportedly, they are refusing to go to work. Rumor has it, this week, the cast was supposed to show up in NYC, to film a trailer for next season. So what happened? Only half of the cast showed up, while the other half stayed home in protest because negotiations. The cast members that actually showed up, are said to have left upset, as they felt they should be entitled to revised contracts as well. So what more do they want out of their contract? First, the obvious is money. In fact, double of what they currently get paid. Second, they want editing power–as in, they’re not Mc Lovin’ how they were portrayed last season. Emergency meetings have been called and if all parties don’t come to Jesus, the cast may strike even longer.
What do we think? An insider told us that cast of the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta spin-off show has similar concerns. Not all of them, but some of them are VERY upset that they’re not getting paid as much as they may be worth. What motivates them more is that their ratings KILL the original New York version (click here to read TV executive Carlos King’s thoughts on why Atlanta out performs New York). So what’s stopping them? The entire cast can’t stick together to formulate a plan of action. Off camera (and on), half of them can’t get along enough to join forces and get VH1 to take them seriously. Meanwhile, we haven’t heard a peep from the show’s executive producer, Mona Scott-Young. But from what we’re told, she has very little to do with contracts and what the cast is paid. So the finger can’t be pointed her way.
BTW, if this concept (of striking) sounds unfamiliar to you–it really isn’t and happens in TV all of the time. Case in point, back in 1996, the cast of the popular show ‘Friends’, striked, holding out as a team, negotiating WAY more than they were initially offered. Love & Hip Hop isn’t bringing in those type of throw-back numbers, but some suggest they do have more power than they know. Anywho, stay tuned as we’ll be hustlin’ up some more intel.

Awwwwww, Tichina Arnold’s daughter with Beyonce,Jay Z and Ms. Tina
Tichina’s daughter got the surprise of her life when she was able to kick it with Bey and Jay while attending her concert in France and Beyonce gaver her daughter the mic to sing along with her and Tichina caught everything on camera. How awesome….Check the pictures inside.
Tichina took to her twitter to express her appreciation for Beyonce and Jay : The reason I am grateful 2 @beyonce @officialbeyonce & @jayzofficial is because they chose to include a short video of my daughter Alijah, & Julez @solange son, when they were dancing their butts off 2gether back stage in the green room at Bey’s 2009 concert .
So this is the look on Alijah’s face when I surprised her w/ the LIVING PROOF of that video of her & Julez is actually A PART OF #TheMrsCarterWorldTo ur AND as a BIG FAVOR 2me, #Beyonce reminded Alijah (after a very exhausting performance) that Alijah must remember that her EDUCATION is JUST as important as her success in the ARTS. This will hardly ever happen in a kids life who looks up to @beyonce & LOVES 2 entertain as much as my kid Alijah does. Needless 2say..she was SHOCKED when she saw herself on the screen in that AMAZING & packed concert. And Yes….We flew all the way to France 2 make it happen. But sometimes as a parent, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I’m just glad it all worked out & God blessed me 2be ABLE 2 do it. My husband & I can get sum rest now. Thank God. Lol!
This was really cute.. I know alot of people hate on Beyonce, I really don’t think she is as bad as people make her out to be. Apparently she is all about the kids.
Jennifer Hudson Says She’ll Only Do American Idol if Kelly Clarkson Joins Her
With ‘American Idol’ rumored to be cleaning house of all judges, former contestant, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is in talks to return as a judge…If fellow alum Kelly Clarkson does. Ratings for season 12 were at an all time low for the show even with the additions of Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban. Veteran judge Randy Jackson announced his departure last week. Reportedly, Fox is interested in bringing back Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, Clarkson and Hudson as judges. Sources close to singer have stated:
Jennifer is intrigued by the idea of returning to the place that helped propel her to superstardom but will only do so if Clarkson joins her.
No official word from Fox or Jennifer’s camp on joining the show. Jennifer returned to the ‘American Idol’ stage last week, performing with winner Candice Clover.
Hudson is working her third album to be released later this year.
