[FLASHBACK: Mugshot Mania – Two Words: “Maia Campbell”…]

On the next episode of ?Iyanla Fix My Life,? Vanzant heads to Los Angeles to help Campbell, the actress best known for her role as ?Tiffany? on the 90s hit TV show ?In The House? starring LL Cool J and Debbie Allen.

Maia struggled with drug addiction for years after the show was canceled and fell into a life of prostitution in order to feed her habit.

Fans were in shock after several videos of a disheveled and strung out Maia went viral back in 2009. She was publicly humiliated but the video managed to shed light on her addictions and may have even saved her life.

Nov, 13 2012 | Written by ATLien

Kevin Clash, the voice and puppeteer behind the loveable Elmo character on the long running kiddie show ?Sesame Street,? has taken a leave of absence from the show after explosive allegations were made against him.

Clash has been the voice of Elmo (and the ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ dolls) for more than two decades, but Sunday, after an unsubstantiated report that he had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy, he voluntarily stepped away from his job.

VIDEO: Elmo Interviews Kevin Clash

The news sent shock waves through the show?s nonprofit producer, Sesame Workshop, who moved quickly to protect their 43 year-old brand (estimated by Forbes to be worth more than $500 million).

Usher Raymond Takes Kids AND House From Ex-Wife Tameka! Just in Time For Thanksgiving… [PHOTOS]

Nov, 12 2012 | Written by ATLien

Holidays should be a time of joy and giving but for superstar Usher Raymond, it seems to be a time of vindictiveness & mean spirits in his daily quest to hurt his ex-wife Tameka Foster Glover Raymond.

After a long drawn out custody battle, a judge ruled in Usher’s favor, giving him “primary” custody of he and Tameka’s two young sons, Usher V (Cinco) and Naviyd.

Tameka and her attorneys fought a hard battle against the superstar, who’s legal team admittedly had ties to the judges re-election campaign.

The final order in the case goes into effect November 20, 2012, and on that date she is to turn over her sons to Usher.

Everyone has their own opinions about the situation. Some of y’all feel it’s all justified, while there are many who feel that the single mother is being railroaded by her richer, more powerful ex-husband.

Have you all forgotten that Tameka lost her young son Kile just a few months ago?? While we see her smiling on the outside, this can’t be an easy situation to deal with. Continue Reading…

Nov, 12 2012 | Written by ATLien

The 5th season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is off and running full speed.

Head “housewife” Nene Leakes packs up her family (including fake ex-hubby Gregg) and heads to LaLa land. Her first stop is to make an appearance in their annual Gay Pride parade. (PHOTOS).

Having pretty much shown her ~~fake~~ “A”zz during episode 1, newbie Kenya Moore continues her reign of terror against supermodel Cynthia Bailey,?who decides to throw her former BFF a party with everyone involved, including Kim Zolciak.

[WATCH: RHOA Season 5, Episode 1 (FULL) + Recap Videos]

This 2nd episode was pretty lackluster compared to the season premiere, however we finally got to see Nene take the high road when she bumps into Kim and Sweetie in the hallway as they make a quick exit prior to her entrance during her party.

Yeah… well clearly my initial assessment was correct. But I digress!

At any rate, here are 5 thing I learned during the 2nd episode of the 5th season of RHOA + watch video of the FULL EPISODE below… Continue Reading…

Nov, 9 2012 | Written by ATLien

Ceelo Green seems to be having the worst month ever and we’re only about 9 days in!

Just a few days ago, word leaked that Lo was being investigated by the LAPD after one of his jumpoffs filed some sort of complaint.

[READ: WTF?!? Ceelo Investigated For Sexual Battery! Did Big Gipp Drop The Ball? (PHOTOS)]

Details emerged that the young lady who went to authorities was actually “friend” of the Goodie Mobber, who lives in Houston, TX.

The two are said to have “dated on and off,” ie. “he flew her out to L.A. from time to time” and they “frequently texted and spoke on the phone”.

On the day in question, Lo reportedly flew her in for a rendezvous. They went to the restaurant and she claims he slipped a drug in her drink. The next thing she knew she was laying naked in a bed with him in a room. (READ MORE)

Cops investigating the allegation also turned up more information that could possibly help in the case.

In addition to Green’s infatuation with jumpoff’s, the self-professed ‘Lady Killer’ is also said to literally fight women!!

My thoughts exactly… 😯
