R&B Divas Season 2 Episode 3: Nicci reveals all in her blog, Messy Tour business and drama. Monifah does a show case and Keke Burps in a business meeting, Nicci bitches about the Johnson Sisters


This was a long show about nothing in particular so I'm just giving a summary about the whole thing with a few highlights. So much drama about one tour

 


The Tour


I'm not sure if this tour drama is this real or fake? I give the benefit of the doubt so let's roll with this show. Anyway this show is one big moan, whine and bitch about this tour. I thought last season it was agreed they'd all go on a tour but apparently that's not the case.

So after Syleecia - School-teacher-sister-manager mentions the tour in the next minute the tour company or booking agency goes and put out an e-blast publicity about the tour and the girls are not happy.

Slyeena is now working with Bangladesh who looks like a shady dude in front of a keyboard.  I couldn't even understand what he was saying because I was distracted by another dude decked out all in jeans wearing a wolly hat.

Nicci shows Faith who goes on about her Dollars and Cents/Sense thing. It's got to make dollars for her to leave her house and sense.  Nicci grumbles that it's shady.  Faith is going to tell her lawyer to send a cease and desist letter. We find out later Monifah's manager had done the same.

At some point they all meet up except Syleena and everyone bitches about the use of their image without their permission. Nicci Gilbert makes it a Johnson affair saying it's Syleena and her sister's fault. She says Slyeecia Johnson should stick to teaching students. Nicci goes in hard.


Angie Stone just says once the price is right it's okay.



I'm not sure what the resolution was but I guess that's the story for this season. Will they or won't they go on tour.

UPDATE Apparently Nicci Gilbert (according to her blog) was going to arrange a tour as part of the show - you know she is executive producer with Faith Evans. Well due to some situation or another Syleecia Johnson muscled in on the idea and did her own thing - this is why Nicci feels some shade. Read Nicci Glibert's version  here posted on her blog Nicci Gilbert R&B DIVA DIARY " TRUTH ABOUT THE TOUR". There are a few supportive and critical (Slyeena stan/fan) comments.

Keke and Micheal for a business meeting

The couple head up to the Big Apple New York for a meeting with a big time management company.  Michael and Keke have a banter in the car about the tour and general stuff. Keke complains about Micheal and tells him he needs to think about the tour as well. Michael is like he is working on other things.

They arrive at the meeting  and Keke starts to misbehave like burping and making funny faces. She's just so excited she becomes silly. However the bottom line is it's a business and we know once a management company thinks you are talented and they can make money they will sign you.

She complains about the tour but the CEO tells Keke to keep her options and to look at it from the point of it's about her getting exposure and building up a following - like when a young unknown opened up for Rick James. He was called Prince. Keke is then sort of convinced. They tell


Monifah's Big Night

Monifah does a show case. Terez opens for her - what exactly does Terez doe? What is her job? Is she Monifah's PA? What happened to Monifah's daughter Akemi from last season? Was she not there? Okay that's covered.

Oh before I forget the venue didn't have dressing room facilities - not even a small office so Monifah cut her wig/weave in the bar area. Hygiene factor? Health and Safety. I shake my head. Oh also Queen Lafifah - Dana Owens can't make it.


Anyway she invites the girls  up to close the show but Slyeena isn't there. Apparently it was her kid's birthday - okay whatever.

The Johnson sisters - Slyneea and sister Slyeecia school-teacher-manager  bitch.

They bitch about the others and Nicci calling Slyeecia a school teacher - aint nothing wrong with being a school teacher. Anyway Slyeena is like why are they blaming her sister when it's the booking agent. At this point I don't care anymore about this senseless bickering. However next week it's more bickering. bitching and moaning about this stupid tour.

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta season 2 episode 4: K Michelle deals with Girly Kirk, Erica applies breaks with Scrappy, Joseline calls Benzino Granddad and a bitch. Irrelevant Traci and Drew waste more than Ariane. rs


This had got to be the funniest episode so far with my favourite characters K Michelle and Joseline giving it the best. I think both should win awards for their comic timing and humor.

 I'm just going to run through the main events giving a summay according to story lines and my opinion.

LoserVille and irrelevant - Traci and Drew.

Two others more irrelevant to this show than Ariane - Traci and Drew. We have Traci wanting to invest in Drew's business. She keeps on whining on her 'Family'. That is her,  ex (yes ex)Drew and their son. This is even more confusing than Stevie J and Mimi because Traci and Drew are no longer in a relationship.



It's stupid because it just seems that Traci is still in love with Drew which is why she is so angry about his hoes or girlfriends or lovers. She keeps on saying it's bad for son but the thing that really go me was when she said her son called her 'Megan'. Hmmm... that made me think that perhaps Traci did not have custody of the child otherwise no way the child would forget who his mother is.

This story is contrived and a non starter. Traci should move on. Find another good relationship with another man and provide a stable environment for her son. She is too old wanting to fight women who have nothing to do with her and are none of her business.

K Michelle Drama she deals with Kirk and her sad Wooha!

Kirk is stupid. Point blank stupid thinking he can talk sense to motormouth K Michelle. It was the funniest scene ever. So Kirk swaggers in and starts to tell K Michelle that she shouldn't be throwing candles at people.


At first K Michelle is reasonable until Kirk starts preaches about Rasheeda. Then she snaps and starts to hurl insults at Kirk. To be fair he was asking for it by going to see her.


Anyway she tells him he and Rasheeda are in a lesbian relationship and gives an imprompt performance calling Rasheeda a has-been with no career.

It's so crazy I nearly choked with laughter.

Then K Michelle invites her new BFF Mimi. Mimi asks if K Michelle could write a song for her new man.  Mimi confesses he's not really new but someone she's know for a while. This brings K Michelle to talk about relationships and her vagina.

K Michelle complains about her wooha (vagina) is not working and needs rehab. She says Wooha only comes awake with Jack Daniels so she is going to see her gynecologist about it.


Her wooha is numb and needs to have fun.  Mimi doesn't really know how to take it. Then K Michelle tells her about Kirk coming to see her and then says it's the reason she doesn't have a man because of man like Kirk being in the universe.

The gynecologist give K Michelle a once over and tells her she is find. K Michelle is unconvinced but the doctor insists it may be more emotional and she needs to move on. He suggests she goes online - eharmony. K Michelle is not impressed. She like she's spent too much money with her hair, breasts and teeth to go online.

The gynecologist doctor then asks what type of man does she likes. K Michelle says she likes Obama. The doctor asks why. K Michelle is like because he looks like he smells nice.


Erica, Scrappy and Momma Dee

Credit to Scrappy he's handling like a real man but I think it's beyond him. Ultimately both his mother and Erica want him to take sides but he's trying to keep neutral. He handles it maturely but I'm not sure that is enough. Erica wants him to stand up to his mother which he had done but not in the way Erica's want.

Erica finally wants to put the brakes on their relationship  - I think if it's true it's probably because now she has a lot more because of the show. Still from the show's point it doesn't matter because Shay Bucky is on stand by. Anyway Scrappy thinks Erica's break up is partly true and partly their pattern of make up, break off, on and off.



The main issue is that Erica and Momma Dee dislike each other to the point it could come to blows.  It's so bad that Erica loses all sense of reason and logic and just goes crazy. Momma Dee is already at that point and doesn't really care so it's explosive.

Scrappy tries to reason with his mother and told her that Erica just snapped. Momma Dee isn't convinced but accepted things happens.

 However she does tell Scrappy that Erica is disrespectful.  I just think that Erica has a very bad temper.
It's always going to be like that so Erica and Momma Dee should accept it.

 It get so bad that Scrappy goes and asks for advice from Kirk. Scrappy meets  pu$$y-a$$ed wannabe man Kirk at the strip club. Kirk is dressed like some colour blind teensager. Who the hell is Kirk to give advice? That's how bad the situation is.

Scrappy is like the situation has being like this for ten years so what does Erica expect now.

Dumb Kirk doesn't really have anything to say - I guess Erica thought with marriage on the agenda things would change. Anyway they end by stuffing dollars down a strippers thong.

Joseline Stevie J and Benzino.

Same old story about the sex and professional life of Joseline and Stevie. Too much business and too much pleasure.  Joseline is walking down an abandoned and deserted street - not a good look because it looks like she is working the block like a hooker - that is the sublime message. They could have arranged for Stevie it meet her at a restaurant or something. So like a trick looking for a hoe Stevie J's SUV slows down and Joseline jumps into it. It's all the sublime messages this show sends out.
 
Well same old drama about Joseline accusing Stevie of not caring about her.  Stevie says the right things and soon Joseline and Stevie are in bed together again.Joseline tells Stevie about what Benzino told Karlie.


She tells him that Karlie and Benzino watched an online video of her and then Benzino told Karlie he's slept with Joseline. Stevie isn't impressed because we all know that Joseline is straight forward and honest. She's not going to lie about sleeping with a man especally we she doesn't see sex as such a big deal.

Later on - like in a mafia movie style - Joseline and Stevie J pull up the parking the lot of Benzino's office. J

oseline confronts Benzino who doesn't really deny it. Ah... so it appears he has being telling lies.  She calls him a bitch, grandpa and liar.


 Then she accuses him of trying to sleep with her by sending her 6am texts. Benzino says it's about business but Joseline is not having and shows Steve J the text messages.

Benzino calls Joseline a prostitute and an escort. That's petty and mean but it's typical short man sydrome. Joseline still screaming goes and waits in the car.  Then Benzino starts to lay into Stevie J for not standing up for him and letting Joseline run her mouth.

Stevie says he just wants to establish the truth however Benzino doesn't answer Stevie's questions and keeps on bitching. Both declare their friendship over.

R&B Divas Season 2 Episode 2: Syleena shows anger and hostility issues, Keke Whatt insults Angie Stone - the bickering just gets worse...and Monifah shows true love for her food

R&B Divas - the only show where the women actually eat! Be real now have you ever seen food touch the lips of any other reality show stars? You may see them at restaurants but they are usually just drinking cocktails.

The show opens with Faith going to see Syleena who just bitches at Nicci Gilbert. I'm done with this fake assed drama. Faith coolly tells her it's about making dollars and sense. She is doing this to pay bills so it needs to get resolved.

We then get an introduction to the newest member LatoCha and her family. Her husband and and manager Rocky seems pretty cool and is a bit of a joker. We see them playing happy families in their kitchen. The couple are telling their son he needs to eat well when Rocky tells his son that all the girls at school probably things he has a cool good looking father. Both son and Latocha aren't impressed with that comment. However it's just a joke. Latocha mentions there is tension in the group.


NIGHT OUT WITH WINE AND CHICKEN WINGS

The girls are all seated munching on deep fried chicken wings and drinking wine when Faith appears with the ANGIE STONE. Does anyone see how much Monifah is always stuffing in her mouth? We know it's free food but control yourself woman.

Anyway Angie lectures them about going on tour actually it's more like a sermon and preaching. Keke thinks it's about her but Angie says it's about everyone. Then she brings out her HOLY ANOINTED OIL. You got to be kidding me! Anyway she tells them this is what she uses to keep bad things at bay. Okay.

The reason why Keke is cool is because like Joseline in Love and Hip Hop Atlanta she is honest and open. She brings up the fact she is uncomfortable about people knowing how much she earns. We all know since Slyeena's sister is arranging the tour there are fears that she might know all this. Angie tells her it's not a problem once her manager - Michael puts in a clause. It's all about contracts - girls.

Nicci then sets off about Slyeena mushing, pushing and fighting everyone. She drags Monifah into it. It seems Monifah is more pissed at Nicci disturbing her stuffing her mouth with food so she goes off.

Syleena calls Nicci a liar and they just bicker like a bunch of hood hoes. At which point Angie decides she's had enough and goes about casting out Satan with her HOLY ANOINTED OIL.

Monifah starts to shout and grabs her bag saying they should resolve their differences and she is tired. To be fair I just think Monifah was full and so having been well feed she decided it was time to go home. Anyway she gets called back and Angie suggests they pray.

They pray but Keke is like it's fake prayer since the situation is going on. Monifah sets off again. I'm not really sure why Nicci and Slyeena have drama. Maybe someone slept with another's husband back in the day. There must be a man involved somewhere. I still don't get it - to be honest despite all excuses it still seems made up. Even Monifah - if she put that much effort in her singing her notes will be off the wall.

Anyway Slyeena confides in Angie they seem to be picking on her because she used to have anger issues. So we establish - anger and hostility issues. I'M CONFUSED.

NICCI BITCHES TO FAITH AND LATOCHA

Nicci invites Faith to bitch about the group. Nicci is like she doesn't like women who puts her hands on other people. Does that mean Slyeena has being fighting people? So LaTocha joins them and Nicci starts to bitch about Slyneena saying she has anger and hostility issues. She even goes as far as saying the Monifah and Keke feel the Slyeena issues. Wow!


MONIFAH AND NICCI

I'm still confused - is Slyeena a bully or not? At least prove it by showing some footage or scenes otherwise it seems made and fake. Monifah never gives a straight answer if she thinks Slyeena has issues or not - all she is like is that Nicci needs to resolve the situation.

Okay so even though Nicci and Faith are executive producers there are at least six other executive producers so maybe it's some behind the scenes drama that is acting out on the screen. Maybe some of the other producers want Slyeena's on the show.

LATOCHA AND KEKE

Latocha and Keke go shopping together to get to know each other. Latocha things Keke is a little strange - I think people are not used to Keke's honesty because she says what she thinks. Anyway it goes well and they decide to double date.

During the double date Keke is like she is happy about meeting Rocky and Latocha because she had no friends there. Latocha seems suprised. I think what Keke means is that rest of the R&B Divas are more like co-workers and associates but not what she would call friends. And I agree to a point.

Rocky give Keke some good advice saying she should channel all her emotional energy into her singing and talent. Use it as a way to express herself.

ANGIE STONE'S LADIES LUNCH

Angie speaks the truth to Monifah. She thinks she is in first class and the rest of the girls are in coach. She thinks they need to develop a first class attitude. So she decides to call a lunch.

At the lunch she starts to talk and Keke is like she doesn't want to do the tour becuase she isn't old or something.

Angie Stone is like she was embarrassed about the last time they met. She warns them if she gets about interruptions or rudness she is going to walk out. I doubt it because this show also gives Angie Stone exposure to a new audience.

Anyway while Angie is saying stuff Keke decides to do some ordering which Angie takes as disrespect. The start to argue and Keke is rude and comes out with about she doesn't need to tour because she isn't old. I think she means an old-has been. It hits a nerve with Angie who then walks out. Keke doesn't really care because she is like all this chat and talk doesn't pay her bills.

The others are shocked but that's Keke. However when she leaves Nicci goes after her and apologies her Angie Stone telling her that the team needs her. Nicci also tells Angie that Keke is hard work.

Keke is like she is being treated like a three year-old.

Anyway Angie goes back to the table and Nicci starts to applogise again. Then Slyeena butts in about her story and how Nicci disrespected her. OK. Angie is like it's not about Slyeena and Nicci drama but we can see Slyeena is gaming for a fight. Keke goes in like Angie is treating them like children and for some reason it becomes a quarrel. Keke takes her bag and walks out.


and in the confessional calls Angie Stone an 'OLD ASS BITCH'. Is there going to be a reunion show?

Anyway Nicci goes outside and calms Keke. Keke is like she is not a child - yes she does have six/seven kids and also her mother is in Kentucky. Angie has no right to speak to her like that. Fair enough. Nicci says she knows Keke and Michael pay their own way and bills but can she just ride it out. Keke considers it and then agrees to back in.

For some reason Angie backtracks and says she doesn't want to be their Momma and she tells Keke that they should talk in private if there is a disagreement. Keke just turns her face and rolls her eyes.

There it ends. I'm still confused about the Slyeena drama.

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta season 2 episode 3:Everybody acts Crazy - Erica fights Momma Dee and Scrappy, K Michelle waxes Rasheeda with a candle, Joseline says Benzino has tiny genitals and Mimi may have finally replaced Stevie J

The season started off dull but it's gone from zero to one hundred in this episode. Where do I start? It's not so much the girl fight but it's the comic humour that also makes it funny. Did anyone notice that when Stevie J saw Joseline in club he was all mouth - that's because we know Joseline has whip and knock him out. No one can challenge Joseline when it comes boxing - male or female she will win. She proved it last season.

One question I have why do all the women have the same shade of lavender lipstick in the confessionals? Are they saving on make up?

I'm going to be going by story lines.


Erica and Scrappy Drama

I'm not sure where to start here but it ended with an explosion. Anyway Scrappy told Erica about Bucky Shay coming to see him at the studio and how she was all sad and crying. Erica wasn't impressed and thinks like all of us Shay Bucky just wants to get back with Scrappy.

Scrappy also told Erica he thinks his mother was scheming with Shay Bucky. Erica definitely isn't impressed and it's agreed that Scrappy will have a talk with his mother Momma Dee.


Scrappy goes and talks to his mother. With Momma Dee it's pretty much in one ear and out of another. She just went on about how much she didn't like Erica. Scrappy then told her she needed to be happy and respectful of his choice and situation. He didn't understand why liking Erica the mother of his child was so difficult for his mother who would rather be in carhoots with Shay Bucky.


Mamma Dee started going about her kingdom and Prince of the South theory and even Scrappy thought she was carrying it a bit too far. Then he proposed that maybe they should all have dinner together - Mamma Dee can make some nice fried chicken and macaroni cheese and come break bread with him and Erica. Mamma Dee isn't convinced but agreed.

Scrappy then told Erica about his idea while they went shopping. He looked a bit like a celebrity wearing over sized girly shades. They did some horse play with the trolley and settled to talk about the situation which Scrappy squeezed some fruit in the fresh produce section.

Erica wasn't convinced it was one of Scrappy's best ideas but agreed to it anyway. On another note she looked very thin like she'd lost a lot of weight so her face though still beauitul looked very angular and harsh.

The dinner happened. The two Moms come in with food. They all have a nice prayer though Momma Dee goes a bit crazy on some of the prayer bit. Erica dished it all out nicely and then then Scrappy who seemed surprisely mature decided it was time to resolve differences.

He started by asking Erica's mother why she didn't believe him about his intensions to Erica. Momma Erica is surprising cool headed and said it was based on his past experences - cheating, doing dirty on Erica, and his general irresponsible behavouir. He told her that there's been some positives as well otherwise Erica won't be there.

Anyway Erica comes in and starts shouting. The thing is we all know Erica has a big mouth on her. We talk about K Michelle but aleast there is some logic.


Erica just goes off at one at this point I've lost the story but it's something about 'respect'. Instead of talking calming she starts to shout and scream. Soon Mama Dee joins in and all of sudden Erica jumps up as if to hit either Mama Dee or Scrappy I'm not sure.

Scrappy World War breaks out and soon the producers and behind the scene security guards are getting involved.

Erica's mother holds her back. Her mother is a very calm woman - she must be shaking her head at the kind of family her daugther wants to marry into.


 Scrappy starts yelling he want back his ring! At one point they are outside and someone drives off in a Mercedes.

I'm still not sure what's happened but get this Momma Dee is now at for war. I'm also not sure how Scrappy can ever deal with is intended wife and mother get physical with fists. Something will have to give - either his mother or Erica.

 But like most men Erica gives Scrappy the one thing his mother can't - SEX. So he will be back with Erica soon however I'm not sure he'll marry unless he'll make a few dollars from it.

K Michelle and Rasheed

It all kicks off with Karlie Red singing in the studio. Rasheeda goes to visit her and after a while it turns to their common enemy - K Michelle. Karlie wants to do a dis-song but Rasheeda calls K Michelle a ZOO ANIMAL and doesn't want to waste her time.

 There is definitely no love lost between all parties especially when we all know the truely talented K Michelle now has a Warner Brother record deal. Jealous girls? I think maybe just a bit. Anyway Rasheeda confides she isn't happy at the thought of meeting K Michelle at Mimi's house warming party. Karlie and Rasheeda continue to bitch about K Michelle and insult her - calling her crazy etc.

The day of Mimi's house warming arrives - I swear I've seen the same apartment in either R&B Divas or Basket Ball wives. Maybe the realtor rents to reality show stars. Anyway Rasheeda walks in and K Michelle is sitting on a stool at the breakfast bar and Ariane is on the sofa. Naturally Rasheeda joins Ariane on the sofa.

Things are going very well when either Mimi or Ariane asks about this K Michelle and Rasheeda drama. Now I suspect they go a cue from the producers behind the scenes - well it all kicks off with 'bitch' this and 'bitch' that. I'm not sure who started but Rasheeda seems to be doing a lot of the talking.


Rasheeda goes about K Michelle slagging her off in the blogs but K Michelle reminds her of the instagram incident. OK - I remember that clearly (last season) and I was so disgusted with Rasheeda's behavour and language. I was like what was her problem. It went so out of control - because Tonya Wright never said a word but Rasheeda just carried on the drama. Anyway fast forward but to this season's episode.

In a battle of words we know K Michelle wins hands down - just like in a battle of fists Joseline is Queen Bee.


Anyway after some huffing and puffing Rasheeda takes her small frame and walks out. She is nearly out of the door with K Michelle drops 'Say Hi to Kirk and his three ear-rings." Now not being from Altanta I didn't know what that meant but Raheeda goes nuts, loco, crazy and rushes back to K Michelle. Wrong move.


We all know K Michelle is a thrower like Evelyn Lozada - whatever is in reach is a weapon - this time was a candle. K Michelle kicks her with feet and throws the candle on Rasheeda. At the point the secruty comes in to part them.

It was the funniest fight scene I'd ever since - these two tiny women trying to fight and the security lifting Rasheeda with one arm and carrying her out of the jiont. Later I find out K Michelle was implying Kirk was gay.

Oh and she also threw in that Rasheeda lacked any talent and rapped like Low Shawty. Ouch.

Finally with the drama over the VH1 security allow Rasheeda to go. Then she suddenly on the rooftop and Mimi runs after her. She explains herself to Mimi saying bitch this and bitch that. Whatever. Ariane comes and joins them saying that K Michelle is crazy to be doing stuff like that. Why is K Michelle crazy, just because she stands up for herself and sticks to her story? And who is Rasheeda to say K Michelle is a liar when as K Michelle says it's not as if Rasheeda was living under the bed to know all the details. For some reason they all laugh it off and seem to be on Rasheeda's side.

So Rasheeda rushes off home and tells Kirk. Kirk starts fronting saying he's not gay - he's a real street hood cat. Whatever. How can K Michelle disrespect his wife like that and he wants to talk to her about it. It's not K Michelle's business if he wear four or three earrings.


 And he is going to have a word with K Michelle. This is exactly the reason why Kirk gets called a bitch. He's acting like a female. In the end Rasheeda needs to sort it out. It's very stupid that this big man is going to talk to some pint sized tiny woman about his wife. It's K Michelle - just leave her alone but hey it will be fun because we all know K Michelle's mouth will finish him - bring it on Kirk.

Then Rasheeda is like K Michelle is jealous that she is married to Kirk. Hmm... I doubt it given all the scandelous and horrible rumours surrounding Kirk and Rasheeda. She even goes as far as to say K Michelle sleeps with everyone and whores about. Check - who has a major record deal now? Not Rasheeda I can tell you. Whose husband was involved in alleged vindictive and horrible internet rumours? And whose husband later on questions his wife's fidelity in a clip? Not K Michelle. So people who live in glasshouses should not throw stones.

On the other hand K Michelle meets Mimi and applogises for messing up her house warming. Whatever. I'm not buying it - I think the VH1 producers just set it up for K Michelle and Rasheeda to knock heads. Anyway after a lot of shallow talk Mimi acts tough and tells her to never disrespect her like that.

It's a pity she can't tell that to Stevie J but whatever K Michelle is way smaller than her. K Michelle is apologic and says sorry again however there is also drops in there is as much chance as she being freinds with Rasheeda as there is as Mimi and Joseline. I disgree I don't think the Joseline Mimi drama is that deep because none of the involved parties - Stevie J, Joseline and Mimi have ever commented on alleged threesomes together.

Mimi and Stevie J

Not much this show. They meet in a resurant and Stevie J is questioning her where she lives now. She tells him in Atlanta. He is like what about access to his daughter? Mimi is like they can get a schedule. He tells her he will find her but then he starts his old tricks like saying how good she looks etc. For some reason Mimi is resisting his charm and he thinks there can only be one reason she's found some new d$ck.

 He asks her straight out if she is seeing anyone and she doesn't answer. And for the first time we see Stevie does quite know how to take it. So the starts the normal boast and flexes his muscles then asks her for a kiss. She is like no. He goes to kiss her but she turns her cheek and that's it. If Mimi is truely with another dude cat, Stevie is out.

Joseline and Stevie J

Joseline is my favourite because she is honest about her intensions and what she wants. Anyway with her new booking agent Dawn is she is at club doing a gig. Dawn gives her the fee and she pockets it. Stevie walks in and starts to talk to Joseline about his cut. Joseline steps up to him and tells him she wants her contract. Now you all know Joseline can punch a muthafucka knockout style.

 Stevie J had been there during therapy and it wasn't nice. So he just talks all mouth. Also he knows he's going to creep back to Joseline for sex now Mimi is no longer on the agenda so his hands are tied. He just says a few threats and Joseline and her booking agent Dawn walk out.

Joseline then confides to Dawn that she has a lawyer who says she doesn't need to give Stevie J anything till she has seen her contract. Great move Joseline - I'm glad she seeked legal advice.


Anyway Joseline feels out of the loop so she called Karle Red to find out what's happening. She know Karlie Red is a gossip so she just wants information.

She meets Karlie in the park. Joseline asks Karlie about her and Benzino and Karlie is like they are still kicking it like dating. The it goes all vulgar - well Karlie lowers the tone but doing some kind of hooker moves about her vagina. Joseline who is very decent and ladylike compared says rubies. Karlie is like diamonds - Joseline disagrees and says rubies are good for her. Anyway Karlie drops a bombshell that Benzino said he had sex with Joseline. Also


Joseline is not impressed. Apparently Joseline implies that Benzino has a really small and tiny penis and she likes to at least be able to hold a man's genital in her hands. She also likes a good lick and feel. No way will she go for his short man - small dick type. It is one of the funniest scenes in the show. Karlie claisms that Benzino showed her a video of Joseline giving some self-pleasure. Okay let's be real here - he could have stolen that from Stevie J.

We know that Stevie J is alleged to have filmed himself and Eve so it's not unreasonable for Stevie to have filmed Joseline and left it laying around. It's a non -issue. Just because short this short ugly no-neck man has a video of Joseline it doesn;t mean anything. It's not exactly as if he was in the video. Now that would be proof. Karlie probably thought it was strange and weird he had it so he lied that he slept with Joseline.

Or maybe a threesome with Joseline and Stevie J where ugly man Benzino had to watch but not touch.
UPDATE - Apparently it was an online video of Joseline masturbating. I remember when people were accusing her of being transgender she up loaded a few pictures of herself to prove them wrong. Still it's pretty sick that Benzino would be showing a video of his friend's girl playing withself to another woman. Shady loser.

Joseline is pretty angry about it. I'm not sure why Benzino would lie about sleeping with Joseline but I believe Joseline because all through this she has pretty much only been with Stevie J. She doesn't mess around. But we all know according to Joseline Benzino has a very small and tiny dick.

R & B Divas Atlanta Season 2 Episode 1: Monifah, Keke, Nicci now allowed say bitches and hos - LaTocha Scott joins the show and the bickering, quarreling and Diva attitudes continue...


A lot has changed in this show - so much. First I think they decided they needed higher ratings so out goes the postiveness, clean language and respect - in comes the cussing, profanities and bad language (there is is lot of talk about bitches and hoes) - there is also a lot more screaming and shouting than before but then again a lot of bloggers on Youtube are talking about it so it must be the right way forward - less classy more Love and Hip Hip Atlanta style but without the men - well unless you consider Micheal one.



The show starts with Keke Wyatt going to sing the national anthem at Martin Luther King day. Well in typical Diva style Keke starts her drama. They tell her she'll be singing with the band when she thought it would a cappella so the band starts but in a different key so Keke doesn't bother sing complaining that the band is in the wrong key. Now as the band has started playing the national anthem they can't stop so Keke ends up not sing. The pastor is like maybe they should have practiced first - I think so too.


Nicci 'Drama Queen' Glibert

So Nicci is singing in the studio even though she is supposed to have lost all passion and wants to be a fashion designer however we know as she is the executive producer of this show somehow that isn't the truth. Yes both Nicci Gilbert and Faith Evans are the boss chicks on this show.

Anyway continuing from last season she goes on to some chick about trying to find her passion again. Hmmm.... could she have some real issues, please? What I do know was she out sang every else at the Essence Festival last season after pretending to have no passion and she also forgot to introduce Sleeyna.


Slyeena

We get to Syleena who is bitching about having issues with one of her bosses - Nicci Glibert and Syleena is still annoyed about what Nicci did at the Essence Festival. Anyway for some random reason I didn't catch she invites all the women over for dinner at her place. This is the only reality show on TV where the girls actaully eat meals - if notice all the others they might meet in resurtants but they never eat.


Monifah is still hooking up with Trez who is actually a big girl - I mean like big womanly but also sort of manly as well. Strange one. Anyway Monifah complains about Slyeena and Nicci and says 'Hose down those hos". Are Nicci and Slyeena now hos?


Dinner at Slyeena's house: Mushing is new word of the day.

Nothing much about from Nicci arriving and then it all kicks off. Slyeena's sisters says something about them going on tour and somehow Nicci Glibert has a bigger and better idea. Slyeena and Nicci start to argue and bicker over Slyeena mushing and pushing others around.


The biggest issue is like how can they all go on tour together if they can't get along? Simple - most of the bands don't get along - you just have separate dressing rooms and come together on the stage for practice and the show. It's like the office you don't need to love, like or get along with your co-worker to work - just be professional.

Keke kindly explains what mushing is which is when a person put their hand on your head and tips it. She is like no one will ever do that to me. Slyeena denys it but apparently she'd done it to Monifah and a friend of Nicci so maybe Slyeena is really a hoodrat.

Anyway a lot of shouting and screaming and then Syleena throw Nicci out.


Monifah and Nicci Glibert work out

Really? Those two having a jog in the park. Please. Anyway it's really time to bitch about Slyeena time. Monifah peace maker is tells Nicci everyone needs to get along. Nicci is like she doesn't like Slyeena and doesn't want to be her friend either. Maybe it was second boss lady Faith Evans that signed Slyeena for a second season. Or maybe it's just planned drama - who knows?

Nicci thinks Slyeena is a bully because she mushed Monifah - Monifah is like it's her own business and be fair she could alway get Trez to mush Slyeena back. The chick is built like a bouncer bounty hunter. The Monifah starts to act all hood with her hoodie - how old is this chick?

Big Jim rehearsals.

Big Jim who worked with all the big names is leading the women in reshersal for a Chaka Khan tribute at the Trumpet Awards.

Nicci starts to whine about having no passion in music and about how she left it with big Jim however that wasn't true because they resolved their differences later on in the show by having a drink together - check out back review/outlines of my blog.

Anyway they all come in one by one - Big Jim tells them Faith Evans can't make it - so there is a stand in called LaTocha Scott to take Faith's place. You all know that Faith Evans was just executive produsor to lend her name to the project so she doesn't really have a big role as she has many other projects she is handling at the moment.

Anyway Keke starts to practice and mess about with the song then Big Jim indirectly calls her unprofessional - Keke is like she can play if she wants to. Singing is her profession so she knows what she is doing then she walks out. To be fair - Keke has one of the best voices on the show so I couldn't really see where Big Jim was coming from.

Red Carpet at the Chaka Khan Tribute Night and Trumpet Awards.

Keke is late. Well so they all say. Monifah with wife/husband Trez is there as well. I see glimpses of the others then Keke arrives in style, works the red carpet and poses for all the cameras with her handbag hushand Micheal in two.

The performance.

My favourite singer is Keke - only because she sings likes she means it and from the heart. She also has a great tone.

Latocha was second with a great tone and rich voice.

Slyeena was okay but I think her comfort zone is more old soul and jazz numbers. Monifah sounds more early 1990's soul - she is a good vocalist her voice is more like Edina Howard - singing hooks on hip hop beats kinda voice.

As for Nicci I'm not sure what happened on the night. Nicci is a great technical vocalist but her voice came over gravelly and rough.

Till next week....

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Season 2 Episode 2: Mimi moves out, Steviefights VH1 security, Shay Bucky tries to get back with Scrappy

My take - Let's keep it real
Nothing much happened this episode so it was as dry as last week. It's just the same old stories but I think they are tired now. Frankly, both Joseline and Mimi have accepted each other and Stevie J so it's not as real as last season. It's just words.


Mama Dee knows Scrappy is torn between her and Erica so it's just words for the show. Shay Bucky just wants some extra show time so she can get paid. However maybe they can put some drama into a tired storyline.


Now bits worth commenting on in the show

Joseline and Stevie J

The show starts with Joseline saying she slept with Stevie and babbling about what she calls work then cuts to Stevie J in a teeshirt.


He tries to sweet talking Joseline. Joseline goes on talking about bad energy with Mimi and how she thinks Mimi has wasted 15 years with gutter-rat Sleazy Stevie J. Well it seems that Joseline now has been with Stevie for at least 2 years so what extactly is her point here?

Anyway, Joseline then breaks up with Stevie J  because apparently Stevie J hasn't delivered on his promise to her about making her a star. That I agree. She is only famous in fastasy love and Hip Hop Atlanta land.


Scrappy and Erica

Yawn, yawn, yawn. They are talking about mothers - his mother hates the wedding idea and her mother hates the wedding idea. OK. Now Scrappy is saying he needs to get to know Erica's mother. I'm thinking the woman should already know the father of her 7 year old grandchild but it seems not.

Anyway Erica acts proper saying she needs to know him by his birth name Darrell and not Scrappy.


Mimi and K Michelle

Aren't these two supposed to be boxing out each other over something K Michelle said? It seems K Michelle is nowMimi's best friend BFF - what happened to Ariane? Anyways they are in the gym and Mimi is whining about Sleazy Stevie to K Michelle. Doesn't she get tired complaining about the same old thing time and time again? When she watches the show she must realise her storyline looks like one whine after another about Stevie J and Joseline.


K Michelle keeps it real - how can Mimi stay at Stevie's J house to keep Joseline away from him - it's stupid. Her main concern should be her daughter. Can't fault K Michelle's logic and wisdom but Mimi doesn't really think that way.


Mimi says she is leaving Stevie J but K Michelle doesn't look like she believes her the Mimi says in the confessional that she is looking for a new house and Stevie J broke his promise. She should know by now that Stevie always breaks his promises.

Joseline and some woman.

Some woman is bigging up Joseline's ego and asking about her about her contract. Who is this woman? Anyway Joseline wants to get the contract as if that will make a difference to her situation - why doesn't she just contact a lawyer and find out what exactly she's signed up to.



Mama Dee and Shay Bucky bitching about Erica


Shay is like Erica is controlling Scrappy - well excuse me I think it's his dick. Anyway both women are planning to break up the relationship.

Scrappy and Erica's Mom

Erica's Mom is interrogating Scrappy about his intensions with Erica - about time too. She asking why now, how is he sure he isn't going to cheat on her (Bucky Shay?) and all those other difficult questions in-laws ask.

Scrappy is not really giving any straight answers but who cares - very boring.


Joseline and Stevie J

Joseline and Stevie are arguing about her contract. Get a lawyer, Joseline - simple.


Mama Dee and Scrappy

Mama Dee bitchs about Erica to Scrappy. Boring. Then Shay Bucky launches her own attack - even Scrappy is confused about his Mother and Shay Bucky association. Now Bucky Shay is complaining about being hurt and is about to cry.


Now Scrappy says he didn't mean to dog her and is sorry the way it happened. Then she tells the confessional that she feel in love again. Hmmm...Scrappy got himself in a fix.


Stevie J and Benzino

They are talking about women - even Benzino is bitching like a chick about not getting Stevie's J attention.
But Stevie J want to crash at Benzino's to avoid Mimi. Benzino like a hurt bitch tells him no and he better run back to his mama - Mimi. So whatever.


Stevie J and Mimi

Steve goes back home after Benzino chucks him out. He carries some roses and Mimi tells him she's moving out.

Same old rubbish and we are going in circles. He doesn't believe her but Mimi insists she's moving he says she'll be back - same old lines as last season.



Then there is some kind of fight with a crew member - I'm not sure what happened but Stevie J is telling some dude to get his hands off him then there is a tussle.


Was he trying to stop Mimi from leaving? Anyway he finally goes to the door with his grey underpants showing but Mimi has driven off. The plot thickens.
