tanisha-thomas-that-grape-juice-2014

She may have risen to fame on the wings of Oxygen’s ‘Bad Girls Club’, but it’d seem Tanisha Thomas would be better suited ABC‘s ‘Pretty Little Liars.’

Why? Well, for reasons yet to be specified, the Reality TV royal has made quite the fool of herself this week, after she claimed she had been called on to star in Netflix’s ‘Orange is the New Black.’

Why it was foolish? Well, because it wasn’t true…she was lying.

Shame and disgrace below…

Both NeNe Leakes and Wendy Williams are renown for “saying like they mean it”. As such, it’s little surprise that the pair take the same approach when dishing on each other.

Once a regular on Williams’ hit talk show, Leakes has been notable in her absence  of late- yet she’s still routinely mentioned in the chat maven’s infamous ‘Hot Topics’ segment.

Seemingly fed up, ‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ star took to her blog to lay into the former shock jock. And while it’s unknown what exactly triggered the outburst, there is some talk about NeNe being featured on today’s Hot Topics regarding a Birkin bag she “defaced” with graffiti.

NeNe’s no holds barred words await after the jump…

Are Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida on the brink of a break-up? If the latter’s words are anything to go by, the answer is “yes”.

‘The Real Housewives Of Atlanta’ couple has been at the centre of a media storm following Nida’s second criminal conviction – this time for multiple counts of fraud.

This month saw him sentenced to a whopping 8 years in prison for his crimes; a sentence which cast immediate doubt on the fate of his marriage to attorney/mortician Parks.

The speculation looks set to intensify too. For, during an interview with Atlanta’s B-100 radio station today, the father of Parks’ two sons revealed that he believes she will divorce him once he’s in the slammer. His reason for thinking as such? “(She) didn’t even f***ing show up” for his sentencing. 

Peep the messy interview below…

Linda Perry has penned classics for the likes of Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, and Pink. However, it’s doubtful the legendary songwriter will be receiving a call from Beyonce anytime soon.

For, while doing the press rounds to promote her new VH1 show, ‘The Linda Perry Project’, the 4-Non Blonds star served up choice words about the ‘Drunk In Love’ diva’s songwriting — or alleged lack-thereof.
