Pic Of The Day: A Single Lady Gets On The Stevie J. Bus

Denise Vasi And Stevie J

As someone who covers all VH1 shows, all the time, one of our favorite past times is spotting VH1 stars from different shows hanging out. So today in cross-series socializing, we bring you this cute shot of Single Ladies star Denise Vasi hanging out with Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta star Stevie J. It’s no surprise that the pair ran into each other, since both of their shows shoot in Atlanta. Vasi (who is engaged and will probably not ride the Stevie bus after all) tweeted the photo, which you can see a larger version of below, with the caption “With @vh1 family member @hitmansteviej #vh1 #SingleLadies #LoveAndHipHop #ATL.” Read more…

Black Ink Crew star Sassy is named Sassy because she’s…um, sassy. Dutchess says she’s called Dutchess because she’s the oldest, most self-sufficient child in her family. And Ceaser was given his nickname because he’s an emperor, which is a greater title than a king, according to his grandma.

Each cast member on Black Ink Crew has a distinct personality, and we’re sure the fans have favorites they relate to. To make it official though, find out which one you’re most like by taking our mobile personality quiz.

Black Ink Crew Urban Ink

What happens when Alex bails on a Black Ink Crew trip to Vegas? Well for one thing, Sassy replaces her in a super-sexy Urban Ink photo shoot, and looks damn good holding her own as a model. On tonight’s episode, when Alex is a no-show in Sin City, Dutchess and Sassy both get a chance to show off their goods on the Strip, and the results are…more revealing than we’ve seen thus far. Check out pictures of the girls, covered more by their own ink than by any item of clothing, as they show off their modeling skills.

The Greatest Photo Ever Of Stevie J, Plus A Few More From Ne-Yo’s Compound Entertainment Grammy Party

Stevie J Compound Grammy Party

Award show weekends are full of parties, and if we had to choose the biggest bash this Grammys weekend, we’d say that the Compound Entertainment Midnight Brunch, hosted by Ne-Yo, was the one to be at for so many reasons. List them out for you, you ask? Well, okay.

1. The above photo with Stevie J. Not that we expect anything less from this man, but this kind of perfectly sums him up, doesn’t it?

2. Miley Cyrus and her new BFF French Montana. In the gallery below, the VH1 Diva (who looks like she’s about three feet tall when standing next to French) appears to have hung out with the Bronx rapper for a good chunk of the evening. (We hate to break it to you Miley, but Drita totally saw him first!)

3. Wait, Miley and Stevie J at the same party? Did she finally get a little Stevie J in her life, as he hoped?

4. Other attendees included Draya Michele, Jennifer Williams, and Kelly Rowland, so the hotness was brought.

Check out all the photos from the Compound party in our gallery below!

TRUCE! The Mob Wives Set Aside Their Differences On The Show And On Twitter To End The Karen-Drita-Ramona Saga

Mob Wives Tweets Of The Night

We never thought we’d see the day when Ramona, Karen, and Drita could all sit in a room, calmly put aside all their differences and — gasp! — actually reconcile. But the day came, and we all saw it with our own eyes on tonight’s episode of Mob Wives. The ladies themselves were pretty proud of themselves, and rightly so, and were right there on Twitter to pat themselves on the back, so read what they were tweeting about during the show (including some more serious tweets about Hurricane Sandy, and an update from Big Ang on the state of her relationship with Neil).

Mob Wives – Episode 5 – Forgive And Forget


Forgiveness. It’s a big theme on tonight’s Mob Wives for many people. You know the Don Henley song “The Heart Of The Matter”? (No? Just me?) I thought of that song because of the refrain of the word “forgiveness” throughout, but really, if you look at all the lyrics, they describe every person on this show’s relationship, either with one another or with someone they loved once. “If you keep carryin’ that anger, it’ll eat you up inside, baby.” Yeah, that’s Renee. “People filled with rage. We all need a little tenderness.” Yeah, that’s everyone. Sorry for the weird Don Henley aside, but that’s one of those songs that gets triggered in my brain when I hear a keyword and, hey, go with me, it fits the situation. So who’s in a forgiving mood this week?
