Actor Lance Gross was spotted at Zone 4’s Cancer 4 a Cause event last week where he shared a bit of unknown information regarding his “celebrity crush”.
As you know, Lance is recovering from his very public breakup with model and former fiance’ Eva Marcille Pigford, but it seems now he has his eye on a former Destiny’s Child member.
Now before you go calling Jay-Z on the cellie…. take a peek at the video below. You may be surprised by his choice! Continue Reading…
I told y’all the other day that Lisa Wu-Hartwell had been booted from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Well… it’s been confirmed that the third season will be her last.
I caught up with Lisa and her adorable hubby Ed Hartwell, during the grand opening of The Loft 22 Entertainment Company, a television production company launched by Princess Banton-Lofters, creator of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I met Lawrence Washington last year at a club and immediately gave him the title of Diva of the Day [READ: Diva of the Day: Lawrence Washington].
Who knew that he would soon become one of the breakout “male” stars of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta?
Washington (aka Sheree’ Whitfield’s Hairstylist) debuted his new song “Closet Freak” last night to a supportive audience of friends, family.
The Atlanta Housewives all came out to support… well all except the rumored-to-be-booted housewife Lisa Wu Hartwell, who, ironically, has a clothing line with the same name as Washington?s single.? [Sidebar: I spoke to Lisa and Ed last night at a different event, and that post is coming soon.]

As if you didn’t already know, Real Housewives of Atlanta castmember Lisa Wu Hartwell (one of the only REAL housewives on the show) will be leaving this season.
Atlanta housewife newbie Cynthia Bailey’s drama filled wedding took place this past weekend and Lisa Wu Hartwell was a no-show. Her absence sparked rumors that she was no longer part of the show. Reports now say that she and Bravo have parted ways over “creative differences”.
I’ve called Lisa’s storyline “boring” on many occasions and apparently that’s Bravo’s assessment as well. A source close to Atlanta Housewives production says,
“They basically wanted to script elements of Lisa’s life and make her amp up the drama. She wasn’t with that at all. Lisa felt like if her real life alone wasn’t enough for the network, then maybe it was time for her to go.”
I’ve heard tales of Bravo producers begging Lisa to create drama within her household so that viewers would stay interested but she refused. [Good for her!]
With a successful real estate business, as well as a book launching soon, Lisa’s got a lot going on besides the show anyway. Ed Hartwell also recently launched a new fitness calendar.

Lisa and Ed are such a cute couple and while it may be “boring” to watch them besides the likes of drama-filled NeNe Leakes, it’s refreshing that they keep their love alive without all that “extra”.
Now for the juicy stuff! Continue Reading…
In an effort to increase sales in a lagging economy, Real “Housewife” of Atlanta Kandi Burruss, decided to offer up her TAG Boutique for pole dancing classes.
What a great idea! I’m sure you all remember that Kandi is already an expert on the subject. She’s even schooled the likes of Fantasia Barrino.
