This week saw fans of ‘The Game’ rejoice when Kelly Pitts (played by Brittany Daniel) strutted back on to the hit BET show.

After all, when the Daniel disappeared from the show abruptly in the break between season 4 and 5, many were shocked at the suddenness of her departure – yet more surprised by the lack of explanation.

Porsha Williams has been called many names, yet silent isn’t one of them.

During a recent visit to Atlanta’s V103 radio station to promote new single ‘Flatline’, The Real Housewives Of Atlanta star took a moment to address the stinging comments TV host Wendy Williams has been darting her way of late.

Indeed, as regular viewers of The Wendy Williams Show will note, the outspoken media maven rarely holds back when discussing Porsha – christening her “less than smart” on more occasions than not.

When quizzed by hosts Wanda and Ryan about her reaction to the comment, Porsha threw political correctness out of the window and laid into Wendy with a few choice words of her own.

To say Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP’ project has been disorganised would be the grossest of understatements. Indeed, beyond so-so sales, public disfavour, and managerial departures, the LP has only spawned one video – the clip for last Summer’s ‘Applause’.

Up until now, details as to which track is receiving the video treatment were unknown. However, it has been confirmed moments ago that the song in question is…. ‘G.U.Y’.

Find out when and where the track will debut after the jump…
