First things first… when you’re a stunt queen you should know that the last thing you need is your face plastered all over the news!
That fact clearly didn’t register to Courtney Barnes, the Jackson, Miss. man who went viral on the internet yesterday for his lively account of an accident (click HERE if you missed that).
Now the same station that turned him into an Internet star is reporting that he’s wanted by police. *sigh*

Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was kind enough to sit down with me for a one on one session about a week ago.
We discussed just about everything you can imagine… from her 3-part ‘Ski Trip’ spin off drama (which was resolved quite nicely in the finale – CLICK HERE if you missed that) to topics like Xscape (will there ever be a reunion?), and RHOA reunion show drama (what’s the beef between Kandi & Nene? Is she still BFF’s w/ Phaedra Parks?). Kandi?answered EVERYTHING!
For the record, I wanted to do this interview because I’d HEARD that Kandi was feeling some kinda way about some things that I’d said in some of my recaps this season.
Whatever the case, we both got a chance to clear the air and she was definitely honest about her feelings.
Check out what Kandi has to say about all of the above in our in-depth one-on-one interview below… Continue Reading…

You may have spotted a snippet of what appears to be Dennis Rodman in drag giving an eyewitness account of an accident recently online.

The unidentified witness, rocking a baseball uniform and a face full of makeup, an irish green ponytail with matching nails, is asked what he’d seen of an auto accident involving a Jackson police officer.
What I seen was a horrible tragic situation… (sighs)
The guy was coming down and I guess the police was trying to do a stop point and the man said… ‘no, not today!’ and they began to race behind each other like cats and dogs!
He also states…
“and now the results is, this po police officer don’t know if his life is gonna continue to make it or if he’s gonna TAP OUT”
Check out video of the eyewitness account below. I promise, you won’t be disappointed in the theatrics… Continue Reading…
