‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star Kathy Hilton found herself in a real mess last week after a snafu on BRAVO’s ‘Watch What Happens Live…With Andy Cohen’ saw her mistake ‘Precious‘ star Gabourey Sidibe for GRAMMY-winning singer Lizzo.

From Bow Wow‘s allegedly bomb a** p***y to reported romps with Raven Symone, Nick Cannon, and other celebrities, Orlando Brown is no stranger to making headlines for outlandish accusations in his interviews over the years.

Regardless, that hasn’t stopped Brown from dominating Twitter conversations for his bizarre antics – the latest of which sees him embroiled in beef with rapper Soulja Boy.

Having previously raised eyebrows with his diss track toward the ‘Crank That’ star, Orlando saw his name trending over the weekend for suggesting Soulja was secretly late Pop icon Whitney Houston.

Not many can boast the illustrious strides Ashanti has made over her 20-year career, but – let the ‘Chapter 2’ singer tell it – there are still a few more chapters to be penned in her story.

Sitting down with “CBS Mornings” co-host Nate Burleson Monday (August 15), the GRAMMY winner dished on the ups-and-downs of her journey to becoming one of the 2000s most successful R&B acts.

Even revisiting the halls of Glen Cove High School in Long Island, Ashanti talked about passing on track scholarships to Ivy League schools, failed record deals, and more before launching a career with Murder Inc.  A career, she says, that was amazing at its height but certainly impacted by the imprint’s legal drama and more.

Refusing to let her story end with its downfall, the 41-year-old spoke optimistically about her future – which includes re-recording her debut album, acting gigs, and a long-awaited LP of new music (her first since 2014’s ‘BraveHeart’).
