There’s a bit of a Basketball Wives saga going down this week. It started when Jennifer Williams made comments in an interview the other day saying that Evelyn Lozada “hates the fact that I’m really good friends with NeNe [Leakes], and she hates the fact that me and Mashonda are good friends.” Yesterday, Evelyn rebutted that statement by taking to Twitter to unleash her emotions on Jennifer. Evelyn wrote “So @iamjennifer thinks I’m MADD that she’s hanging out with @NeNeLeakes??? Bitch pls! interview coming soon.” Well, that interview with Necole Bitchie is here, and Evelyn isn’t holding back. It’s super-duper-long, so we’ll just pull a few of the best quotes, and then do yourself a favor and read the entire thing. In true Evelyn form, she’s honest, blunt, and doesn’t hold back what’s on her mind. At the top, she explains that she’s nt jealous of anyone, and just to clear that up, she called NeNe Leakes to discuss matters.
Nene and I spoke on the phone yesterday. She was like, “I am so happy that you called me because I have had discussions with Jennifer, and I told her I know that Evelyn doesn’t have a problem with me. Why would she? I know it wasn’t an issue with me and I told her that.” I don’t care who Jennifer hangs out with. I get it! You’re single. You’re having a good time. We’re in two different spaces right now, and frankly I don’t want to be in the club every night because my life is different…Why am I a bully because I’m straight forward with how I feel? I’m verbal and I don’t keep sh*t in like she does. I’m not like that. If have a problem and you hurt me, I’m like, “Girl, you bothered me with this.” For her, she doesn’t say sh*t on Twitter, but she sure has a lot to say on camera. That’s my thing, say it in my face! You’ll see. I really hope that when the show does air–that it shows that she’s not a good friend because what good friend would do that to somebody? If I started talking and doing interviews about everything I know, you would be done. That whole Barbie good girl sh*t would be done…She’s trying to remain relevant because I gave her a story line! Let’s just keep it real. I’m just being all the way honest. Every time I try to come down a little bit–you know how time heals everything–then, boom! Jennifer does another interview. It’s like why are you always talking about me? Saturday, there was a filming, and it was chaos…The fact that you leave that, go back home and do an interview is crazy to me. I don’t get it. That b*tch done lost her mind.
It’ll all start going down before our very eyes when season four begins on February 20.

Even though season four of Basketball Wives doesn’t start for three more weeks (February 20, y’all), there’s already drama brewing. As we mentioned yesterday, Jennifer Williamsand Evelyn Lozada‘s friendship will be put to the test on the show this season, and Jennifer had a theory about why Evelyn feels a certain way about her. She said in an interview “She hates the fact that I’m really good friends with NeNe [Leakes], and she hates the fact that me and Mashonda are good friends. I feel like it’s all coming from a place of hurt, and she’s turning it into anger. Why do you care who I’m friends with? Like, that’s ridiculous.” Today, the comment seems to have sparked a debate between the [former] friends on Twitter. We’ll let their Tweets tell the story, check them out below. Our favorite part of the whole thing? When referee Chad Ochocinco steps in at the end.
We’ve already shown you a clip from the upcoming VH1 Roc Docs special The TRL Decade in which Carson Daly talks about the time a teenage Lady Gaga tried to visit him in the TRL studio. In yet another teaser from the documentary, airing Sunday night, January 29 at 9:30pm ET/PT, we bring you one more great moment from behind the scenes at the show. In it, Method Man talks about the time he complimented Britney Spears on her posterior. Brit’s reaction is classic.
Tempers flare once again on the upcoming episode of Mob Wives. (What? No!) While Renee attempts to stay neutral and referee this war between Team Karen and Team Drita, Ramona goes off the deep end and trash talks Drita to the point where Renee tells her “You’re starting trouble…I’ll be honest with you, I think you make me look like I’m not the craziest one of the bunch anymore.”
In the second clip, posted below, Drita responds to Ramona’s comments. “Ramona saying I’m not a part of this lifestyle is a compliment to me,” she says. “And I definitely do not want to be like her. I don’t think anyone wants to be like her. You could go to the Bronx Zoo and the f—ing monkeys would be like ‘f— no!’”
It’s easy to forget that TRL was more than a show where tweens would make their parents drag them to Times Square on a pilgrimage to run their vocals ragged, screaming for their favorite stars. TRL was a defining show for MTV, popular music and kids of a certain generation. It’s also easy to forget the caliber of celebrities that appeared on the show, which ran from 1998-2008. Madonna, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, hell, even Angelina Jolie, they all appeared on the show often. In honor of the new VH1 Rock Doc The TRL Decade, which airs January 29, we’d like to take a look back at the VJ’s who made the show what it was, and the celebrities that came down to 1515 Broadway to hang with them. (We invite you to take a closer look at the photo on the upper left in our gallery — yes, that is indeed Destiny’s Child,Eve, 3LW, and Dream hanging with Carson Daly.) And of course, check out the documentary when it airs on Sunday January 29 at 9:30 pm ET/PT.
We haven’t heard much from Terrell Owens since his show ended this past summer, although there have been a few reports of health scares and legal woes that have cropped up here and there. T.O. spoke to GQrecently to clear up all the rumors and reports we’ve heard, in addition to answering questions about football. Check out the clip above to hear T.O.’s thoughts on who he thinks are some of the best players in the game, and keep reading after the jump for more personal details from the interview, including concerns about his mental health, and his recently soured relationship with his publicists Mo and Kita.

Christmas at T.I.‘s house is a little overwhelming, at least on the decorating front. But T.I. knows just the way to make his kids appreciate the holidays. In this sneak from the upcoming episode of T.I. And Tiny: The Family Hustle, T.I. shows the family the meaning of giving back when he drafts the family to be in a play that will be performed in front of an audience of needy kids. The question is, can he turn his family into a bona fide acting ensemble, or will they slack off and turn the whole thing into a disaster? You’ll have to tune in on Monday night to find out.
Somaya Reece was absent for much of season two of Love And Hip Hopand fans definitely took notice. Team Somaya was up in arms when they noticed that she disappeared for three episodes in the middle of the season, only to return to episodes nine and ten for brief cameos. I spoke to Somaya by phone while she was out in L.A. visiting — she told me that though she has a house out there, New York is home now — and we talked about her absence from the show. We also discussed how intense all the fighting this season seemed to get (“the show went from Love And Hip Hop to Bad Girls Club” she says), the current status of her relationship with Midi Mafia producer Swift, and what she really thinks of Erica Mena (“ultimate trashiness”). Real talk with Somaya Reece starts now. [click to continue…]
