we deserve to be moved by more than force alone

OK HERE WE GO!!! AGAIN, THIS IS MY BLOG AND I SAY WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT AND HOW I WANT. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT DON’T READ IT.

This episode was very disturbing. From the airing of the dirty laundry and throwing skeletons out the closet to questioning the loyalty of a friendship because you were told you were wrong…

I cringed as I watch the scenes between Evelyn and Jenn. In all the interviews I’ve read from both sides I’ve NEVER read about Jenn telling anyone’s secrets. Not Nia’s, not Evelyn’s. Sure, some of her statements can be taken the wrong way, but isn’t that what we signed up for when we decided to do a reality show? To have an opinion? To voice that opinion? I’m confused. It shocked me to see Evelyn air so many of Jenn’s secrets. It almost seemed as if she got joy from not only airing it to the other ladies, but to the world. We didn’t need to know, especially from her former best friends, that her bank accounts were locked, her heat was turned off or who she slept with without a condom. I’m pretty sure if Jenn had a tell-all book, many would move to that cave Uncle Phil was in before Hillary’s Playboy ad came out on the Fresh Prince…Just sayin’…Jenn may be bougie, she may say a lot of ignorant ish at times (ie. country vs bougie, or doing what the white people do) but an opinion not elaborated on is just that, an opinion. I’ve seen her keep the friend code and if there’s any key she still has, its not to Nia’s apartment, its to her loyalty in keeping those secrets as a friend/former friend. It’s sad to see the friend code battered and butchered so horribly. So Evelyn, I hope you know that was “Ratchet!!!!!…..Ooooh she two-faced.” (Have you seen that video?) I must say it was a bit humorous to hear them arguing about what was being said over Twitter…sounds familiar…my, how the tables have turned. “Twitter Crazed”…Moving on…

Tami:
F*ck me? Our friendship may be over? WOW! REALLY? Because I told you it was wrong to call someone a Bitch repeatedly? Because I told you it was wrong to chastise, yell, and belittle someone? Because I told you I didn’t want you to come across as a bully and you were better than that???? If that’s the cause of our friendship ending then we were never really friends. How do you involve yourself in other people’s issues (i.e. Evelyn and Jenn, and Kesha and Kenya) but then have the least to say concerning your own. I’ve stated many times the type of friends I have and what I expect from them. I may get upset, but they tell me the truth. Right, wrong, bitch, bougie. I’ve also stated, many times, I don’t have a lot of girl friends. THIS IS WHY! I was a REAL and TRUE friend to you, POINT BLANK, and you gave me your ass to kiss because of it. I don’t have time for the petty bullsh!t. I don’t have time to fight over hearsay. FYI and for future reference…Most “REAL FRIENDS” aren’t there when altercations happen because MOST REAL FRIENDS would stop it before it occurred. I have a mind of my own and I speak it. So question the minds of those who were around you and said nothing to your face but all behind your back…Question those who have meetings calling their friends a “Ghetto Hot Mess” and rather than GENUINELY trying the diffuse the fire they throw in the match and walk away like their hands are clean. Oh, and lets be clear…at no point did I EVER say Kesha was right in anything she said. I don’t take sides of people, I take sides of situations and in that situation your ass was wrong wrong and another wrong.

Suzie, you second what? Chile pls!

Shaunie, wow are you going to basically force Jenn to speak to Evelyn but you wouldn’t even film with me? That’s so hypocritical. My question is why didn’t you return my phone call when I reached out to you about the misunderstanding we had over a year ago that was then followed by false accusations and lies. Point is, we all have our issues and neither of us is perfect nor do we pretend to be. Please don’t act like you’re a saint and more people would respect you for that. Own up to your part then we can all sit down as women and hash it out. Hopefully after watching this episode, everyone in the cast sees how you truly view all of us…You drew the lines in the sand. It’s not really fair to be one of the executive producers and a cast member at the same time, is it? If you truly want to turn a new leaf, let’s be adults and sit down and talk. Let’s right our wrongs, let’s fix what’s broken, and let’s bond what’s been separated! Isn’t that what all of this was originally for? To form a sisterhood from our past hurts and pains. Sisters fight but they always have each others back. What happened? When did that get lost? I have no idea because right now I feel like I no longer have eyes behind my head, but more like knives in my back.

It’s been quite interesting blogging this season. From blogging about the episodes, to the social networks, to even my personal life, it’s been a purge. I enjoy writing and hopefully I’ll be back as a blogger for a 4th season with Season 5…. I don’t blog the reunion because it’s a sit down with all the ladies and we express our feelings. It took about six hours to film the two hours you will see, so I’m anxious to see what airs. Till next season, I LOVE you all and I’m outtie!!!!!

On Tuesday, May 29, Nick Jonas served as master of ceremonies for the Shubert Foundation/MTI Broadway JR. Student Celebration, to be held at the Shubert Theater.

The event featured hundreds of students from middle and intermediate New York City Public Schools in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Manhattan, who made their Broadway debut as the culminating event of the 7th annual Shubert Foundation/MTI Broadway JR. Student Program, a musical theater mentorship program which builds self-sustaining theater programs in public schools that have limited arts programming.

The students performed a song from their school's production of a student version of a Broadway musical, including Annie JR., Once on this Island JR., Disney's Aladdin JR., Guys and Dolls JR., Bugsy Malone JR., Meredith Willson's The Music Man JR., Dear Edwina JR., Fame JR., Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR., and Thoroughly Modern Millie JR.

I'm glad that even though his show closed, he's still staying an active and involved member of the Broadway community!

Fans pay up to NIS 5,000 for VIP ticket and accommodation to attend Tel Aviv show; Conan O'Brian arrives especially to cover event.



This Thursday, tens of thousands of audience members will have the honor of being the first in the world to attend the latest concert tour by pop queen Madonna. The opening show of "MDNA" comes three years after the singer finished her last worldwide concert tour, "Sticky & Sweet", with two performances in Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park. Sticky & Sweet drew revenues of $408 million, breaking records for a solo artist. The current concert tour is Madonna's ninth and also her longest. She will visit 32 countries, including the United Arab Emirates, the Ukraine, and Colombia.

The grandiose show, which is being produced by Shuki Weiss together with Live Nation, is estimated to cost more than NIS 15 million. Setting up the stage at Ramat Gan Stadium, which will hold some 35,000 people, has taken two weeks so far. A special 800-meter stage was built in Belgium. It includes hidden stages and its design will change for each song. A special section called the "Diamond" was built to protrude from the stage into the audience. In addition, a tent city was built, including bedrooms, a game area for the singer's children and a lounge in which she can host the American television host, Conan O'Brian, who is visiting Israel especially to cover the show.

Some 600 staff will make up the production team, of which 350 came to Israel with the singer from the U.S. Some 100 performers will appear on stage, not including the pop queen, who landed in Israel earlier this week, rented out 70 rooms in the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv, and, for herself, the presidential suite.

Tickets to the MDNA concert around the world range between $45 and $600 for a VIP package. In Israel, tickets range from NIS 240 ( $62) for a seat in the stands and NIS 2,400 ($620) for VIP package that includes an upholstered seat in the VIP area, on-site parking, a hot meal and a private party. Madonna herself responded to the criticism over high ticket prices in an interview with Newsweek in February, saying "Start saving now. People spend $300 on a handbag all the time. Work all year, save money and come to my concert."

"The Amazing Spider-Man" received an Australian trailer which contains a couple of new glimpses from the movie, including a fun little scene with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy where she's thrown out a window by Spider-man. That's certainly a novel approach to win over a girl's heart. Opening on July 3rd, the highly anticipated 3D comic book reboot stars Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger seeking the truth about the disappearance of his father. His quest leads him to his father's ex-partner Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), a brilliant cross-species geneticist who will eventually turn into the super-villain known as The Lizard.

Justin Bieber's brawl with a photog over the weekend isn't going to just disappear ... TMZ has learned the case WILL be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible criminal prosecution.

We're told cops have already decided to refer the case to prosecutors, even though the investigation is far from complete. They have requested to interview the Biebs, but he's in Norway now. It's pretty typical for police to refer high-profile cases to prosecutors.

TMZ broke the story ... Bieber's a suspect for allegedly committing criminal battery against a photog in Calabasas Sunday afternoon. The photog called 911 after the scuffle, but by the time cops arrived, the singer had split.

The pap was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance. He then filed a police report naming Bieber as the culprit.

If Bieber is charged and convicted, he'd face 6 months in jail. But the photog faces an even worse fate -- having to tell people Justin Bieber kicked his ass.

She's played everything from a distressed publicist to a noblewoman on the big screen, and now Jessica Biel is looking at a completely new role in real life: housewife.

"To me, nothing will really change, because I'm almost never home," the Total Recall actress, 30, tells the French magazine Gala in a translated interview. "But when I am home, I enjoy cooking."

Some specialties she might serve up to soon-to-be husband Justin Timberlake?

"I especially love making cupcakes," she says, while admitting that when she attempts to customize recipes, "it's a total disaster, but I've also had some pleasant surprises, like recently when I managed to make zucchini fritters."

Overall, once they tie the knot (possibly over the summer), "I don't think our marriage will change anything," she says. And while that may turn out not to be true, she does think "it will be a challenge finding a balance between my private life, family and work, and I'm ready."

She also describes herself as "someone who lets things happen naturally," saying she is not sure if she wants to have a child right away.

"For me, getting married doesn't mean we should limit ourselves to some pre-defined idea. Rather, it's an opportunity to explore new things in life, " says Biel.

And while fans may ogle Timberlake's good looks and hot moves, for Biel, there are three distinct qualities she finds admirable in her future husband, 31: "The ability to communicate well ... to be able to express his feelings. Then, loyalty. And, finally, honesty."

Game Of Thrones: Sophie Turner On Sansa Stark’s Blackwater Bravery
By Jolie Lash


LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- She was caged at King’s Landing all season long, but on Sunday’s “Game of Thrones,” Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark took flight.

After Queen Cersei abandoned the ladies of court at the height of the battle of Blackwater, Sansa went from “little dove” to pack-leading wolf, with an inspired speech. A defining moment for the Stark character, the young British actress said the hardest part of the scene wasn’t pulling off her address.

“It was really cool scene to film, but oh, it was horrible at the same time because I can’t sing… But, I did feel very empowered doing it,” Sophie told AccessHollywood.com of the moment Sansa finally found her voice and showed her mettle, before leading the women in a hymn.

For the teenage Brit, her current fears aren’t about singing, but school exams. Yet, with just days until the show’s Season 2 finale, Sophie put the books down to discuss the “Blackwater” episode with Access, the fans’ interest in “SanSan” (Sansa and Sandor Clegane), and what lies ahead for her redheaded character.

Still not over how flawless and sassy Sansa was in Blackwater. And I will never not get secondhand embarrassment whenever any actors/actresses are asked about shipping. Also, that last question reminds me that we all need a Jack Gleeson interview in our lives.

A Florida county is putting the racy romance trilogy "Fifty Shades of Grey" back on its library shelves.

The Brevard County Library System had pulled 19 copies of the best-sellers from its bookshelves earlier this month. County officials said the decision was made after they read reviews of the trilogy initially self-published by the author in e-reader form.

A county spokesman also called the books "semi-pornographic."

On Monday, the county announced that "Fifty Shades of Grey" would be available immediately through the library in response to requests from residents.

Library Services Director Cathy Schweinsberg said the library was against censorship and was reviewing its selection criteria.

Public libraries in several states have banned to book trilogy, saying it's too steamy or too poorly written.

The fan-favorite album finally crosses the Platinum-selling threshold

In 2007, amidst personal struggles that were publicized by the press worldwide and frequent court visits, the last thing on Britney Spears's mind was promoting her then new record Blackout. The album hit number two on the Billboard 200 albums with minimal promotion upon release, but took a few years to officially sell a million copies in the U.S.

Billboard's Gary Trust revealed Blackout's latest sales total on Sunday when answering fan questions about Spears' album sales. Using the numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, the music sales tracker, Trust reported that Blackout has sold over one million copies since its October 2007 release. The album's sales culminated to around 988,000 copies sold in 2011 and remained stagnant, which peeved Spears fans because Blackout was so close to attaining one million-selling Platinum status.

Spears' fans responded to Blackout's almost platinum sales with specified weeks during the year dedicated to boosting the album's sales. One notable week took place in July of last year where fans came together and created “Blackout Purchase Week,” in hopes boosting the album to number one on Billboard's album charts and having it achieve Platinum status. While Blackout did not re-chart to number one on the albums chart, the purchase week did give the album a sales spike that helped it come closer to selling one million units in the U.S. Nearly a year later and the album has gone on to finally hit one million in sales.

Blackout remains to be Spears' only studio album to not debut at number one on the Billboard 200 after being outsold by the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden. Spears' album was set to top the chart, but word got out that the Eagle' Wal-Mart exclusive album sold more copies than Spears. Wal-Mart put out a press release announcing that the Eagles sold double Spears' reported numbers and Billboard did a controversial rule change to its chart methodology and allowed the Eagles to take the number one spot with Spears debuting at number two.

UGH SO MANY FEELINGS. Finally + that flop buy blackout week + FOREVER RAGE AT BILLBOARD AND WALMART
