Dolce and Gabbana Lose Appeal Against Tax Evasion Conviction

MILAN—A Milan court Wednesday upheld a tax evasion conviction of designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and sentenced the pair to 18 months in prison.
The two Italian fashion designers, known for their sexy style favored by celebrities such as Madonna and Naomi Campbell, were convicted last June and each sentenced to one year and eight months in prison for failing to file tax declarations for a Luxembourg-based company called Gado.
Prosecutors said Gado was created with the purpose of evading tax in Italy. The total tax that Messrs. Dolce and Gabbana allegedly failed to pay is about €40 million ($55 million) for 2004 and 2005. The pair appealed.
In March, the prosecutor handling the appeal Gaetano Santamaria took the unusual step of arguing before an appeals court that the allegations were groundless because Gado was a real operating company rather than a shell company created to avoid paying tax in Italy.
But on Wednesday, judges upheld the conviction. They did, however, cut the jail sentence to 18 months. The judges weren't immediately available for comment.
Massimo Dinoia, a lawyer for Messrs. Dolce and Gabbana, said the pair were "shocked" by the ruling. The two designers have denied the charges throughout the process and Mr. Dinoia said they plan to appeal. It could take months to hear the appeal.
"I'm speechless," said Mr. Dinoia. "The prosecutor himself asked for them to be cleared."
The tax arrangements of Italian fashion companies have drawn scrutiny over the years, particularly more recently as Italian authorities have taken a hard look at structures such as offshore companies. For many years, Italian companies established offshore subsidiaries, particularly in Luxembourg, to evade or avoid taxes, say tax authorities.
For instance, in December, the luxury giant Prada avoided any potential tax avoidance charges in relation to its Luxembourg subsidiaries by voluntarily deciding to bring them back to Italy. The company also agreed to pay the tax amount that would have been charged if such subsidiaries were in Italy in the last 10 years. The company, which stressed that the decision had no financial impact on Prada, said that it followed "close cooperation" with the Italian tax authority, started in 2008, and "involved seeking a ruling on international transfer pricing standards" for transactions between the company's subsidiaries.

Oprah to join forces and put her Bid in for the Clippers!!!

Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is considering teaming up with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers if the NBA's board of governors votes to force Donald Sterling to sell the team, sources told ESPN.
Geffen, a music and film mogul with a net worth that Forbes estimates at $6.2 billion, reportedly tried to buy at least a controlling stake in the Clippers in 2010 but was rebuffed by Sterling.
Oprah Winfrey is part of a group that is considering a bid to buy the Clippers if Donald Sterling is forced to  sell,sources told ESPN.
Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, a business software and technology company, has attempted to purchase several sports teams in recent years.
Geffen's and Ellison's potential interest has been previously reported, but sources told ESPN they are considering joining with Winfrey on the bid for the Clippers, who could draw the interest of some of the world's wealthiest people.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants Sterling to sell the Clippers as part of the extremely stiff sanctions brought against the longtime owner in response to racist comments the league determined he made in a recorded conversation.
Silver banned Sterling for life, fined him $2.5 million, and said he will press the other teams to support his desire to make Sterling sell.
"I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him," Silver said.
Boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. and music mogul Sean Combs both claimed interest in buying the team Tuesday, as did real-estate tycoon Rick Caruso.
Magic Johnson, Mark Walter and their Guggenheim Partners group in the billion-dollar purchase of the Los Angeles Dodgers also are possible bidders, though sources have told ESPN that any such discussions were premature at best.
Johnson, who was specifically mentioned in the recorded conversation involving Sterling, laughed off the suggestion in an appearance on ESPN on Sunday night, saying he was focused on bringing the NFL back to Los Angeles.

Is She by Sheree coming back to the The Real Housewives of Atlanta?????

 Reportedly, Sheree Whitfield was fired from Real Housewives of Atlanta back in 2012, but with recent cast shake-ups and the need to provide Kenya Moore with some backup in case of another attack, it's not surprising that Sheree is rumored to be returning for the Bravo series' seventh season. I guess Sheree says she need a litttle part time check. She says she need to get her a new Porsche and a new Gucci Bag. Because that is going to be all that she can do with that little check and the budget that bravo will be giving to her.

Devious Maids Returns Tonight on Lifetime! Season 2

                                                                            
 Who’s ready to talk dirty? Devious Maids returns for its second season this Sunday (Lifetime, 10/9c) and The Gag & The Tea has the scoop.


We recently spoke with executive producer Sabrina Wind for the skinny on Season 2, including which former maid has hung up her gloves for good — and who’s about to take a seriously “dark” turn.


Devious Maids Season 2CARMEN: BACK IN BLACK | Carmen may be playing house with Alejandro this season, but just because she’s walking the red carpet, that doesn’t mean she won’t also be vacuuming it. “Her future has not been set in stone,” Wind explains. “The show is called Devious Maids, and we will always go back to our roots.”

MARISOL’S BAD ROMANCE | “Marisol has a whole new life,” Wind says. “We ended last season with her drive being fulfilled; she got her son out of jail. This year, she has found true love for the first time [with GCB's Mark Deklin] but with that comes dark stories of its own … and a great new haircut, although [Ana Ortiz] did that on her own.”

BALANCE OF POWELL | Things are about to get weird at Chez Powell. Like, even weirder than normal. “Evelyn and Adrian are newly re-invested in each other this season, but of course, we rip them apart almost instantaneously,” Wind says. “Last season, it felt like Evelyn was chasing Adrian, and this year, we’ll find the imbalance possibly leaning in the other direction.”
                                                                           
ROSIE’S TURN | Season 1 may have ended with Rosie being hauled off by Immigration, but don’t count her out just yet. Not only will she be staying in Los Angeles, but she won’t be staying away from Spence. “In the premiere, we get to see a little more of the moments we hinted at in the finale,” Wind says. “Peri knows, but she doesn’t necessarily let on what she knows. She has also taken some big actions to keep her life in tact.” (Hmm…)

VALENTINA’S TRIANGLE | Though Remy and Valentina will eventually reunite — Wind says he’ll have a “challenge in Africa and may return before the season is over” — the premiere introduces a potential new suitor for Zoila’s daughter: Genevieve’s new pool
boyman Ethan. “Ethan is a young man with many facets, which will be revealed over the course of the season,” Wind teases. “What seems so sweet and charming in the beginning may have other colors, but in the meantime, sweet and charming is what gets Valentina to fall for him.”



Devious Maids Season 2
We can't wait.

Brandi is at War with Vivica Fox on Celebrity Aprentice

Getty Images/FameFlynet
Now this is the big Pickle, I thought Kenya Moore was going to be a problem but there is a bigger agenda. Despite being friendly acquaintances before filming began for Donald Trump‘s Celebrity Apprentice, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville and actress Vivica Fox are at war with each other, and the feud will definitely entertain viewers of the hit NBC show.

Our source tells us, “Brandi and Vivica have known each other socially in Los Angeles for years, and always got along. They certainly weren’t best friends, but had mutual respect for each other. Fast forward to both ladies filming for Celebrity Apprentice, and the gloves are off. There have been allegations of cheating and lying between the two, and they have had epic screaming matches.
“Brandi is really going to surprise people….anyone that thinks she is a stupid airhead will be shocked when they see her on the show. Donald Trump has a lot of admiration for her grit and street smarts. Expect both ladies to go very far in the show, and do very well.”

Glanville had been struggling when filming for Celebrity Apprentice started.
The reality starlet had been turning to booze and Xanax to handle the stress of the show.
“Brandi got reprimanded for her behavior,” a source previously told The Gag about her latest antics in New York City.

“She was sent to hotel to get herself together.”
Also battling with Kate Gosselin in the Big Apple is only part of the problems that are plaguing Glanville as she tries to beat her co-stars in made-for-TV challenges.
“Brandi told Donald she was crumbling under the pressure,” the source told The Gag.

Known for her boozy ways on RHOBH, and even having been approached by the ladies on that show to go to rehab to treat her problems, the source said Glanville is not faring well on set.
However, Brandi has “definitely rallied and has gotten the drinking under control. She really wants to win Celebrity Apprentice and will do whatever it takes to do so,” the insider added.
“If that includes burning Vivica Fox forever, she doesn’t care.”

Broke & Faking It For the Camera! KENYA MOORE


Kenya Moore House Car Square
Rently Moore likes people to believe that she has a wealthy boyfriend and is living in the lap of luxury but THE GAG & THE TEA has exclusively learned that she is in dire financial straits and most of her expensive things didn’t really belong to her.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has come under fire for not revealing who her “rich African boyfriend” is and often insinuates that he is paying her bills but a source close to the situation revealed that she isn’t telling the truth.
“Kenya is basically broke and she doesn’t have any money,” a source close to the Bravo star told THE GAG!

“Most of the things that she shows off, like purses or cars, don’t belong to her.”
Keeping up with the likes of NeNe Leakes is always part of RHOA, with the women trying to one up each other with their high-priced accessories, but the source said Moore isn’t as well off as she wanted the viewers to believe.
“Kenya  had a local car dealership in Atlanta give her a really expensive car on loan and then they got the publicity that she was driving a car from their lot.  It was just during filming and it was a good deal for both of them. She was able to pretend she had a high end car and they got the free press.”

The source also said the former Miss USA, who is competing on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, was always getting involved in business deals that fell through.
“Kenya previously turned down money-making TV appearances and she had a movie she was going to do overseas but it never happened. So when Celebrity Apprentice came up she had to say ‘yes.’  She desperately needs the money and the longer you stay on the show the more you get paid.”
Dismissing Moore’s claims that she’s being supported by a boyfriend, the source told THE GAG that was highly unlikely.

Teresa Giudice fakes her drama free image


Teresa Giuidce deserves an Oscar for the acting she’s done on this season of her hit reality show because RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the legally challenged housewife it up to her old tricks, backstabbing, gossiping and trying to cause trouble behind the scenes on the show.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has been extra careful during filming to make sure that she isn’t portrayed in a negative manner just in case the authorities are watching, but a source close to the show told The Gag that she’s still stirring the proverbial pot.
“Teresa is never going to stop scheming and trying to make herself look good at the expense of others,” the source said.

“Even though she really didn’t get into any fights on camera this season, she was still plotting behind the scenes to cause trouble.”
She and her husband Juicy Joe Giudice are facing years behind bars when they are sentenced and the source said she’s been using that as a shield from any controversy.
“None of the other women can go up against Teresa,” the source told The Gag

“She’s so high and mighty now, she just keeps saying that she has bigger things to worry about than fighting on a TV show, but that’s not exactly the truth.
“Teresa is still totally trying to pull the strings.  She says bad things to the women and even to peripheral friends hoping that it will get back to the person she says stuff about, but then she can’t be caught saying anything.
“Teresa is completely up to her old tricks.  She’s backstabbing people that think she’s their friend and trying to spread rumors about the new women.”

The mother-of-four is also not above using her kids as an excuse on RHONJ this season.
“Teresa just says I’m doing everything for my kids and they don’t need any fighting.  But she’s not mentioning that she’s doing the same crap she always did, just behind the scenes.”
The source told The Gag the rest of the RHONJ cast felt like their hands were tied when dealing with Teresa.

“She sounded like a broken record saying she was not going to fight, but it felt so obvious that she was still trying to cause friction with the women and everyone saw through her.”

Teresa Giudice Jail: Joe still Facing Separate Charges Amid couples Fraud Ordeal


While Teresa and Joe Giudice are looking at possible jail time after pleading guilty to serious fraud charges last month, Joe has more issues with the law that he's facing.
Teresa and Joe Could Lose Everything?
He is set for a hearing on June 2 in the Superior Court in Paterson after he allegedly used a fake ID to get a driver's license. His own license was suspended at the time.
If he is found guilty, he could spend up to 10 years behind bars.
Joe and Teresa's Trial to be 'Much Of' New 'RHONJ' Season?
The state of New Jersey has offered the reality TV husband a plea deal that would come with four years in prison; Joe would have to serve at least two before he is considered for parole, his lawyer, Miles Feinstein revealed Thursday. As of now Joe has not accepted the deal.
However, he still has to wait until his federal charges for fraud (including bankrupt and mortgage) are handled before agreeing to a plea deal or even taking the case to trial. However, if he does go ahead and take the deal in the state case, he could serve both his state and fraud sentence at the same time or one after the other.
For the Real Housewives of New Jersey couple's federal fraud case, Joe is looking at 37-46 months in prison. He would have to serve at least 85 percent of that term and could still be deported back to Italy afterward. Teresa is looking at 21-27 months behind bars. She also had to pay the government $200,000. They are both scheduled to be sentenced on July 8.

Mona was upset because she was in negotiations with trying to get Karrueche and a few more recognizedd ladies involved in this city spin-off, but could not lock the deals in because the ladies backed out after it hit the internet.

First of all where they get Omarion at, secondly why does Ray J have two ladies, I guess this is really going to be the best Pickle Yet. See that Mona was not paying anything I see if she was she would have Karrueche(Chris Brown's on and off again girlfriend). Chile this should be really interesting at the least. We know Ray J will be entertaining and I guess Teairra Mari wil get a second chance on trying to release some music. Wait I forgot Miss Joie, ummm gurl do we really want to know you?

MTV to honor Paul Walker during the MTV Awards



MTV announced plans to honor the late Paul Walker at the annual MTV Movie Awards, being held on Sunday, April 13.
His Fast & Furious costar Jordana Brewster will take the stage to talk about her late colleague and to introduce a video memorializing his iconic on-stage career.
MTV president Stephen Friedman said the tribute was fitting considering not only the 40-year-old’s celebrated on-screen career, but also his character and philanthropy off-screen.
Paul Walker’s Mother Set to Drop Custody Bid For His Daughter Meadow If Teen’s Mom Goes to Rehab 
“Paul Walker was a role model for the MTV audience since the very beginning of his too-short career. Our audience grew up with him, from Varsity Blues to the Furious franchise,” he told the L.A. Times. “He was a movie star but one that they could relate to.”
“Paul’s humanity and kindness clearly showed through every role. We’re honored to be able to spend a moment of this year’s Movie Awards to celebrate him.”
Paul Walker Vin Diesel
The late star won his first and only “Golden Popcorn” statue in 2002, when he and his close friend and costar Vin Diesel took home the prize for “Best On-Screen Duo”—an honor they’re nominated for again this year.
To see the touching tribute, tune into the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday, April 13 on MTV.

Oxygen has yet to announce the next season of Bad Girls Club, but The Gag & The Tea  has learned the upcoming installment has already been cast—and the baddest girl of all, Natalie Nunn, is slated to return, a source reveals to The Gag & The Tea!
The reality star, who was featured on Bridezillas, has experienced marital bliss since tying the knot to her football player husband Jacob Payne—until now.
As the source explains signing up to be on another season, Natalie is expected to “party, hook up and [get into] massive fights,”  and look like a straight PICKLE while Jacob has remained focused on settling down.

“She told him when they got married that she was going to make a change and think about starting a family, but now he knows that isn’t happening any time soon,” the source shares.
Being on the show means 10 weeks away from Jacob where anything could happen, whether it’s cheating with celebrities to partying hard. Not to mention putting something huge—like her marriage—at stake. 

“Natalie marrying Jacob is the best thing she has ever done and she was on the right path,” the sources says. “This could jeopardize everything.” This dingbat do not want to be married to anyone all she want to do is be on reality TV! Girl grow up and stay married to this man and don't get on The Bad Girls Club again, enough is enough!

Now let me just say that these people that go on these reality shows need to watch what they do and how they react. How are you going to leak things to the press to get people to think that Porsha Williams stole your song and you didn't want her to sing it anyway. See these here cell phones and these text messages will get you in trouble everytime.

This blog is from www.funkydineva.com

As quickly as media blitz has started, it has been shut down. All tea all shade, this whole fiasco was a stunt pulled by the producer, because he sent the same email that he sent to me to any and every blogger that would listen. I’m checking other sites, and they have the very same email, verbatim, posted on their sites. Non the less, Porsha has fixed his a$$. Catch this:
But Porsha tells TMZ … Medor signed a waiver with Bravo for his appearance on “RHOA” — and even sent a text message saying he LIKED hearing his song on the show.
The text to Porsha’s rep said, “It’s cool. It was a good look! Now we need to get a record done.”

While they realize that their lives are a work in progress, they are at a crossroads, and are finding their unique voices. Can they support and collaborate with one another in order to make their dreams a reality?”
First of all why is Diamond on this show? Because she has clearly had her chance to be on TV and she let Momma Dee run her away from her money. Secondly who are these other ladies ? I don't know if I will be tuned in but I hop you will.

The Atlanta Housewives May Be Holding A Standoff To Help Porsha Keep Her Peach!!

Welp I hope everyone is sitting down and get ready for me to spill the Tea on your KNEE. These Atlanta ladies are trying to save their Peach holding castmate Porsha Williams. These next couple of Paragraphs are from www.funkydineva.com


up8
I was on vacation when all hell broke loose at the taping of The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 6 reunion taping. By now, I’m sure every one knows that Porsha knocked the sh!t out of Kenya. Quiet as its kept, Phaedra’s a$$ should have jumped up off the couch and hit the b!sh too, but that another story. Anyway, what some of you may not know is that Porsha was immediately asked to leave the premises. Porsha hit Kenya within the first hour of taping. That being said, don’t expect to see much of Porsha on the reunion show.
Fast forward to today, after the dust has settle, those close to the situation are saying Porsha may have f&cked herself. BRAVO does not play that. The contracts for each of the housewives is written pretty tightly and spells out to the letter what they can and cannot do. BRAVO has had no hesitation in the past on acting on breaches of contract. Remember Adrienne Maloof from Beverly Hills? Well her contract stated she had to do the reunion show. Mama chose not to show up, and they fired her a$$. With that, the housewives contracts stipulate in some fashion that they are not to get violent with one another, not allowed to take out restraining orders against one another or bring forth any other legal action that will hinder production, etc. I’m sure we can all agree that diving on a b!tch constitutes getting violent.
Porsha’s job is in jeopardy, however many people close to the situation feel like her actions were very much justified. Kenya has been antagonizing this woman for the last two years and taking unwarranted jabs at her whenever she got the opportunity. To top things off, Kenya brought a wack a$$ crown and staff (bedazzled stick) to the taping of the reunion and was waving it around in Porsha’s face. I would have beat that b!tches ass too.
The entire cast is really feeling for Porsha right now and not featuring Kenya at all. So much so, that they are wiling to work as a collective to try and protect Porsha’s peach and get rid of Kenya’s a$$. Catch these T’s
tumblr_mrls14DldT1stxgkdo1_500
There is no way around it, Porsha hit the Kenya and the contracts say you can’t do that, point blank period. Her actions based on what she signed call for termination. The only true lifeline that Porsha has left is if the entire cast bands together and holds out on signing their new contracts unless Porsha gets one. This would be such a noble act, however, we all know a b!tch is not going to put their neck on the line to the extent in which it places their job in jeopardy. #SelfPreservation. We all know a few of the heffas need that check!
If a standoff did ensue, the current housewives run the risk of Bravo saying “take a hike and we’ll just hire some new ladies for far cheaper.”However, the current housewives have one major piece of leverage, THE RATINGS. Bravo can’t afford to take the risk of changing the formula (replacing housewives) and expecting to do the same numbers. We all know BRAVO purposely places new shows or struggling shows on tv right behind the Atlanta Housewives to get some of the spillover ratings. With the show being the anchor for ratings on Sunday nights, quite a bit of leverage lies in the hands of the cast. We all remember the perfect outcome the cast of Friends got when they all held out as a collective. Each and every one of them walked a way with 1 million per episode. Porsha’s peach can be saved, but will the ladies stand firm enough?
tumblr_n3dszlzSwb1ql5yr7o1_250As far as Kenya goes, I don’t even have to hip y’all to some of my private conversations for you to be able to deduce that no one on the cast is featuring her. However, don’t expect her to be going anywhere. Like it or not,  people can draw the direct correlation between how successful these last two seasons of Atlanta Housewives has been and Kenya More. I personally don’t think their is a direct correlation between Kenya and the ratings. I truly feel it is mere coincidence. I feel the show would have done the numbers with or with her. LOL – I JUST DON’T SEE IT FOR KENYA MOORE AT ALL.
Anyway, this is getting long. hopefully the ladies do what the have to do to help their girl. For some divine reason, my spirit tells me we’ll see Porsha next year. Hell, at best this punch to the face has created a deeper tension that we can see play out on tv next season. Hell, quiet as its kept, it gives them BOTH a story line. And yes that is SHADE!

Was there a Brawl at Sheree Buchanan's Bday Party for "Atlanta Exes" ?



Hunnay, Hunnay the queens were out lastnight and their claws were well groomed and painted. I hope you are ready for the Hollywood Exes, The Atlanta Editions. Now if you don't know what the show is, its a spinoff from the Hollywood Exes in California. Since the show was doing ok ratings they decided to bring the second edition and do it here in the dirty south Atlanta. and chile let me just tell you they got the bottom of the barrel with these ladies. So I wondered into a party for Sheree Buchanan last night and the cameras were rolling and chile all i can say is that there were some pickles in the building. This so called Birthday bash I went to had some of Atlanta’s socialites, Well hell that's what they call themselves more like I just want to be on TV type of broads. So let me just tell you how broke down the party was She by Sheree was there, But the Gag is and she was not wearing She by sheree. I guess that tired ole clothing line will never be. But wait I really couldn’t figure out why she was there. I know she is a EXE of a Atlanta household name but maybe she trying to get on and get a check. We will have to keep our eye out on her.

So back to this boring AZZ party, the crowd was wack and those hollerin hens were at each other. So most of the cast members were there, Torei, Monyetta giving body with a mop on her head for a bob, Christina looking like she really belong with Cee-Lo and that dusty face Tameka entered the building and walked passed the Bday girl Sheree. When she passed by her and the cameras followed I knew it was about to go down. Shortly after Tameka and Sheree had words and she pumped out the building, Hunnie these ole QUEENS!

Hunnie these Atlanta girls are out to get some camera time I mean they are running to the camera and the camera didn’t want to see your broke down party dress and your nappy weave. Needless to say that this show is going to be a Pickle and they are going to be talked about so Atlanta I hope y’all are ready for the foolery because they are going t bring you that!

Wait a minute, I thought they said the boring Traci Steele was on this show? If she is she was clearly missing or maybe she decided to quit because they are saying that Tameka really didn't want to have anything to do with the show if she was going to be on it. Lawd Why?

Nene talks candidly about Kenya Fake Booty

Hunnie now you know Nene Leakes is chilling in LA doing Dancing with the Stars, and TMZ gets to asking her question and she let it all out the the bag while leaving Mr. Chow following her night on Dancing With the Stars and of course they couldn’t wait to ask about Porsha Williams’ fight with Kenya Moore during the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion taping.
NeNe offered her thoughts:
“Kenya’s stupid. She needs to fix her fake booty. They need to kick Kenya off with her dumb self. She (Porsha) shouldn’t get kicked off. They need to kick Kenya’s fake booty off.
My husband doesn’t want me to school these girls, ‘Hey Girls’.”
One cameraman asked NeNe if she was going to take home the DWTS trophy. She replied:
“I don’t know. What I do know, is I’m going to stick on for as long as I possibly can.”
She was then asked if she’d last longer than former DWTS contestant Wendy Williams. Of course NeNe sent a few daggers in Wendy’s direction…
“Wendy has two left feet. I have a left and a right. That’s a problem when you have two left feet — you can’t dance on the dance floor!”

 See this is the Nene that I like, She speakes her mind and she don't care what anybody else thinks.

Check out this link and see how drunk Nene was when talking to TMZ.

  LOS ANGELES, CA (March 31, 2014) – Fashion icon, Creative Director of House of Harlow 1960, actress, author, entrepreneur and philanthropist Nicole Richie will bring her unfiltered sense of humor and unique ability to infiltrate any environment to a new VH1 reality series based on her entertaining tweets. “#CandidlyNicole,” produced by Telepictures and World of Wonder and based on the successful AOL online series of the same name, is set to premiere on VH1 on Thursday, July 17th with 8 half-hour episodes.

Whether it’s having a discussion with her dad about who his favorite daughter is on Father’s Day, meeting with a doctor about having her tramp stamp removed or helping her best friend find a date, Nicole has no problem offering her uncensored opinion to everyone she meets (even if they didn’t ask for it). Her one-of-a-kind, tongue-in-cheek commentary inspires people to laugh, learn and shake their head in wonderment.

Recognizing Nicole’s affinity for the VH1 brand and establishing a broader and deeper relationship with Nicole, VH1 has agreed to a first look/development deal between the network and Nicole’s production company, Honey Child Productions.
Richie rose to prominence for her role in the massive hit television series, “The Simple Life,” which lasted five seasons and brought Richie international recognition. Afterward, she turned her focus to other projects including charity work, environmental issues, writing and starting a family. Richie married musician Joel Madden, had two children and founded The Richie Madden Children’s Foundation. She currently acts as the Creative Director for House of Harlow 1960, offering ready-to-wear, jewelry, eyewear, footwear and handbags.
Richie has recently starred as one of the three mentors on NBC’s “Fashion Star” and is also a New York Times best-selling author of the novel The Truth About Diamonds.

“#CandidlyNicole” will be produced Telepictures and World of Wonder. Nicole Richie, Michael Baum and Carrie Franklin serve as executive producers. Executive producing for VH1 are Susan Levison, Jill Holmes and Kristen Kelly.

VH1 Announces New Shows + VH1

Now I know VH1 has clearly lost their minds. Is this why they cancelled Single Ladies?
VH1 TO #GETCATTY WITH FELINE FRIDAYS
New Programs Present New CATegory for the Music + Pop Culture Network
Open CATsting Call for New Series “Mob Cats” + “Love & Hip Hop: Catlanta” + “Love + Hip Hop: Meow York”
NEW YORK, NY (April 1, 2014) – The cat is out of the bag today as VH1 announced a new slate of original animal-centric programming for VH1’s new Feline Fridays. Greenlights for the new night include “Mob Cats,” “Love & Hip Hop: Catlanta,” “Love + Hip Hop: Meow York” and “Behind The Scratch Board: Kitty Purry.” Sneaks of the series are available now at VH1.com and in the VH1 App.
New Series Ordered Include:
• ”Mob Cats” tags along with Staten Islands most (in)famous litter as they scratch, paw and pounce their way to the top. These kitties will definitely need all nine of their lives.
• ”Love & Hip Hop: Catlanta” The claws are out as these kittens hustle the game to make it in hip-hop. Some get distracted by laser pointers, though.
• ”Love & Hip Hop: Meow York” These bad kitties are prowling Meow York and they aren’t playing nice in the litter box. The claws will most certainly come out.
• ”Behind the Scratch Board: Kitty Purry” examines the glamorous – and yet still very lazy and indifferent – life of America’s most famous kitty and her famous momma, Katy Perry.
“You can’t deny the growing impact that pets are having on pop culture,” said Tom Calderone, President, VH1. “We know that crossing our proven hit franchises like ‘Mob Wives’ and ‘Love & Hip Hop’ with feline characters and storylines will be catnip to our viewers.”
Additionally, VH1 put out word of an open CATsting call. VH1 is looking for willing and able cats for its new series. To submit your cat for one of the network’s new shows, tweet or Instagram @VH1 a picture of your animal with the hashtag #VH1CatCasting. For every picture submitted VH1 will also donate $1 to a national animal support organization.

Mendeeces Released from jail.

Now I know this can not be a April's Fool joke. Mendeeces has been released from jail! Yandy is super stoked to have her man back home. Vh1 already started shooting the show and made sure they captured this precious moment. he was released on $600,000 bond package.
“Mendeecees is a very good guy,” said Smith, who was once on the list of Billboard Magazine’s ”Top 30 Executives under 30.” Chile he can be on the 30 executives under 30 because he was pushing drug money through his business. I can't with all this foolishness. I guess since they have started taping all this Yandy will be super happy until all the drama starts to unfold on how his first babymother has all the money that he got in trouble for and she won't be getting any of it. Ha!

Love and Hip Hop new York  should be back this fall !
