Jennifer Lopez may be earning Oscar buzz for her critically acclaimed performance in the new box office hit, ‘Hustlers,’ but there’s at least one person she shouldn’t expect a standing ovation from:  Samantha Barbash, the woman who Lopez’s character in the stripper film is allegedly based on.

Taking to multiple media outlets including TMZ, Access Hollywood, and more, Barbash branded the film ‘unimpressive’ and slammed it for ‘lacking a story line.’  As if that’s not enough, she claims the creators stole her life story even after she refused to accept their ‘unacceptable offer’ to sign away rights for the use of her likeness.

Now, with attorney Bruno Gioffre in pocket, Samantha’s readying a six-to-seven figure defamation lawsuit against the people behind the movie (STX Films, director Lorene Scafaria, and possibly Lopez) for what she deems an incorrect and inappropriate portrayal of her life as an exotic dancer.

Tamar Braxton set the net alight yesterday (September 18) after her appearance on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ saw her dish on her former ‘The Real’ co-hosts, commentary that earned a clap back from the ladies collectively.

As we reported here, Braxton – when quizzed on if she had a desire to return to the FOX talk show panel – emphatically declined, citing the ladies’ ‘cattiness’ as the main deterrent.  Once word reached the desk of ‘The Real’ they addressed the matter on their show and even extended an offer for the ‘Love & War’ singer to continue a discussion about their differences there.

Her response to the invitation?  Taking to Instagram with screenshots to provide “proof” it was hostess Loni Love who got her fired from the Emmy-winning talk show years ago.  Love didn’t take the accusation lightly.  Look inside to see how the comic’s clap back started an all night war:

With little warning Beyonce took to social media Sunday (September 15) to deliver a gift to her beloved fan base (better known as the #Beyhive).  Packaged in the form of a behind the scenes ABC special (as we reported here), the diva offered viewers an inside look at the creation of her ‘Lion King’-inspired album, ‘The Gift.’  Zooming to #1 on Billboard Soundtrack and R&B Album charts respectively, the set – kicked off by the anthemic ‘Spirit’ – was lauded by critics for its inclusion of the who’s who of the Afrobeats scene, feminist concepts, and socially conscious lyrics decorated with unapologetic themes of pro-Blackness.

In an effort to show fans how all that magic came to be, the Grammy-winner unveiled ‘Beyonce Presents: Making the Gift.’  Airing Monday (September 16), the special may have given viewers little time to prepare but still managed to hold its own against the night’s many forms of ‘must see TV’ including sports, news, and scripted programming.

Look inside to see just how many people tuned in.
