Love and Hip Hop's Olivia Reveals Album Coming Summer 2012 + Favorite Producer
Olivia Reveals a lot of album information for all the fans. She is also bothered about the editing of Love and Hip Hop. The situation with Chrissy & Yandy was the most one she hated.
Which producer on the album did you enjoy working with most?
Missy [Elliott] and I, she's one of my good friends also and one of my favorite producers to work with, if we work at that hour, the best material comes out. I don't know if its because you're that tired. The material, the writing, everything just flows so much better.
One of my favorite records I did with her is called 'Settle Down.' Obviously it's about settling down in a relationship and I'm saying, "I'm ready to settle down." It's a dope song. It gives me that Mary [J. Blige] '411' feel but I'm singing like a Jazmine Sullivan. It's a mid-tempo.

Is the album done?
Probably come out in summer. We're probably adding one or two [tracks]. We have like 100 songs basically so we're figuring out what were going to keep on the album. That's been the biggest problem because there's so many good songs. I don't write to give album cuts; I write to make sure it's a single. And that's why 'December' and 'Walk Away' have a certain sound because I want people to walk away with music that you can listen to over the years. Not just something you can play this summer and then next summer, you're like "That song isn't good anymore."

hen you look back on it, what really angered you besides that?
How they probably tried to portray me with the Yandy and Chrissy situation. I've known Yandy for eight years now, she was a part of my management company at Violator. And Chrissy, I've known since season one of 'Love & Hip-Hop.' I love 'em both so I don't understand why you would try to put me in the middle of two people that I really am friends with and expect me to choose a side. Then make a long storyline like, "Ooh, is Olivia gonna choose a friend?" No, a--hole, she's friend with both of them. We're grown and not playing in a sandbox here. They cut out certain parts where I speak to Chrissy and say, "You know, I sat down with Yandy and everybody else." But to the general public, because they cut it out, it looks like, "Oh, you're having private meetings... you're being a backstabber." It's annoying.

Mob Wives Renee Graziano Strong Through the betrayal of Junior
Renee Graziano recently went through the ultimate betrayal. Ex Husband snitched on her dad and got him arrested again. She tells the Huffington Post how she feels about it now.
"I remember the day I gave up drinking because that was the day that my father was arrested," Renee Graziano, star of VH1's "Mob Wives," told me. "Anthony Graziano is his name and he just came home [from prison]. My ex-husband got him arrested [again] -- trust me."
"The truth of the matter is, it is the ultimate betrayal," Renee told me on my talk show, "Naughty But Nice with Rob." "I don't think it could have gone any worse than that. It is very hard and heart-wrenching to watch my son go through this. For me, I am strong."
Suzie Talks Basketball Wives 4 & Cast mates
VH1 Blog talks to Suzie about the new season.
1. She gets along with the whole cast these days
I’m cool with pretty much everyone. I’m just that type of person, I don’t like the tension and all that. And I think that means I can film with everyone so they use me as the connector. Last season that’s what they did and it was looking like I was running my mouth, but that’s just the role they use me in, and I got a lot of heat for that, but someone’s got to be there to bring everything together. How’s Jen going to know Eric approached Royce to be in his movie if I’m not the one telling her, you know?
2. On the reports that Evelyn and Royce might not return for a fourth season…
I would have been very surprised if Royce didn’t return just because, what else is she going to do? Evelyn, I wasn’t sure what she was going to do, if she would go on and do her own thing, but of course I feel like we need everyone. We need the core people because that’s what the show is. Without one of them, it’s gonna be like, things will have to change. For me, seeing other shows with the same formula that flop shows to me that people love our show and they can’t wait for our show to come back on. I don’t know what it is about our show and our group of girls, but it’s like magic. Even the first season, the way everything came together, I was like “Is God producing this show?”
3. She’s annoyed that everyone wears “Basketball Wives” earrings now.
Those big Basketball Wives earrings, they wear them on every show now! Love and Hip Hop, Tiny, it’s to the point where I don’t want to see those earrings anymore, it’s annoying. Everyone wears them.
4. Doing this show is like getting paid to have lunch.
I’m just doing it because…I don’t even know why! [Before the first season began] Evelyn was just like “Do you want to do it? All you do is come and eat lunch! And just talk!” And I was like “That’s it?” And she was like, you’ll get paid like $5,000. And I was like “Just for eating lunch?” So I think it’s strange that there were so many haters and then it became what it is.
5. She’s a totally embarrassing mom.
In real life I’m like, in sweatpants and slouchy sweaters. My daughter was like, “Oh my God mom, I’m so embarrassed when you come to my school,” and I’m like “Why?” and she’s so embarrassed, she’s like “You come to school looking like you’re homeless wearing a big sweatshirt with your hood on your head,” and I’m like “I just don’t want anyone to notice me!”

Royce Reed on Her Broadway Stardom
Royce talks to S2S magazine about the play, and the surprise reactions from the casting directors.
"I went in and I think they didn't think I was going to actually be good based off of their reaction," Royce told S2S with a laugh. "They were pleasantly surprised and offered me the part."
"They had no idea that I was a theater major...that I went to FAMU [Florida A&M University]," Royce explained. "I think they assumed that I was just another reality star that decided one day that she wanted to be an actress. They had no idea that I've been doing this since I was 10 years old and that it's something I take very seriously."
