Jim Jones Arrested AGAIN for Suspended License
TMZ reports Jim was taken into custody again.
A rep for the rapper tells TMZ ... Jim is adamant there must have been a mistake in thecomputer system ... simply stating, "Jim does not have a suspended license."
The rep says Jim's lawyers have already been dispatched to remedy the situation.
The worst part ... Jim claims he was originally sitting in the PASSENGER seat of the car... when his driver stopped in front of a store to pick up a few items. Jim claims cops approached him and told him to move the car ... so he did ... and shortly after Jim got in the driver's seat, he was pulled over. During the stop, cops were informed he had a suspended license ... and took him into custody.

She added, "It's sad that you get stereotyped like that. I have so many friends that have good marriages."

Big Ang's Bar "Drunken Monkey' was Robbed
NY Post reports the following about the Drunken Monkey Robbery. Drunken monkey is a bar owned by Mob Wives star Big Ang.
Two dim-witted crooks learned that the hard way after they were busted hauling away a trailer full of kitchen equipment from the Drunken Monkey bar — a Staten Island watering hole featured on the reality-TV show “Mob Wives,” The Post has learned.The heist took place early Sunday at the hot spot co-owned by big-lipped, raspy-voiced “Mob Wives” star Angela “Big Ang” Raiola and her cousin Sallyann Lombardi, daughter of late Genovese crime-family capo Salvatore “Sally Dogs” Lombardi.
It was around 3:20 a.m. when Joseph Romano, 36, and John Duffy, 34, peeled away with a stainless-steel refrigerator and sink, a metal fan and a wooden table, court papers state.The trailer was ditched at Manor Road and Ravenhurst Avenue, but the suspects were caught 20 minutes later by highway cops.“If I wasn’t outside smoking, they would’ve gotten away with it,” said Lombardi, who witnessed the caper.
RUMOR: Love and Hip Hop's Erica Mena Allegedly Kicked out Fashion Week NYC?
Erica mena was in Fashion Week in New York and Bossip Claims she had an altercation with someone else there.
According to an eyewitness Bossip source, Erica Mena attended a New York Fashion Week Show where one of her Love and Hip-Hop castmates, Olivia, was performing. The former G-Unit first lady sang at Samantha Black’s (Sammy B) exclusive runway show, where only the “cool kids” (see, “invited”) guests were welcome. Being that Erica Mena is, how you say, NOBODY, the brass running the event didn’t take kindly to her sitting her bird a$$ in the front row where her feathers might fly off and irritate the other attendees. Security made an attempt to escort the reality “star” from the restricted section and that’s when all Hell broke loose.

I thought that it was the right time in my life to do it

Former 'The View' Host Star Jones Producing a VH1 Movie
Former “The View” co-host Star Jones will turn her tome “Satan’s Sisters” into a VH1 movie, according to sources. The Simon & Schuster novel follows five women who host a daytime talk show (sound familiar?), one of whom writes a tell-all. But Jones has maintained her story is inspired by her career and is not a “View” exposé. Sources say the one-time prosecutor, and Suzanne de Passe, will executive-produce the VH1 movie. Jones will make a return to ABC’s “View” today to discuss heart health. She and host Barbara Walters have recovered from heart ailments in the last two years. A rep for Jones declined to comment.

Tami Roman On the New Cast Member
Tami Roman Speaks with Cherry On Top about the New cast Member Kesha Nichols & Kenya Bell:
With regard to the 2 new cast members, Kenya Bell and Kesha Nichols, how have they blended with the rest of the cast? What roles will we see them taking on this season?
TR: I can’t give you too much on it, but I’ll say this. Kesha Nichols is very meek and has no opinion on anything. And Kenya idolizes Jennifer, so there you go. That’s it in a nutshell. (Laughs) I don’t think Kenya really knows who she is and who she wants to be or what she really stand for just yet, so she kind of becomes whomever she is with. But she absolutely idolizes Jennifer.

House of Cosignment Premiere March 21st
New, Fashion Reality Show Premieres at a New Date and Time March, 21 at 10PM/9c and 10:30 PM/9:30c on VH1
NEW YORK, NY – February 15, 2011 - “House of Consignment” is a new 10 episode, half-hour reality series featuring Chicago entrepreneur and fashion maven, Corri McFadden, and her mission to improve the way women shop. By working with high-end clients at her sleek, Lincoln Park retail store, eDrop-Off, Corri’s consignment business turns luxury brand items into profit. What began as Corri’s senior project in fashion design school has turned her into a young, successful business woman and owner of a booming multi-million dollar company. Watch as Corri and her team of twenty-something fashionistas change the face of the consignment world on a daily basis. “House of Consignment” premieres with back-to-back episodes Wednesday, March 21 at 10PM/9c and 10:30 PM/9:30c.
“House of Consignment” follows Corri’s consignment empire as she gathers fashion items and accessories from the likes of Hermes to Chanel to Louis Vuitton. The secret is Corri’s ability to spot the authentic brands and foresee the resale value in her clients’ closets. Through an open auction platform on eBay, shoppers place bids on exclusive, couture items that will sell at top dollar in the ultimate fashion recycle.
The series also documents Corri’s daily challenges and dramas of running her own business. “House of Consignment” will follow Corri and her team while they make house calls to various clients for much needed “Closet Cleans.” This first-of-its-kind service sends eDrop-Off fashion pros directly into the homes and closets of their most exclusive (and wealthy) clients for an on-site fashion “edit.” Sifting, sorting and exploring her way through clothes and accessories totaling in the tens-of-thousands of dollars, Corri advises her clients on what to keep, toss and sell for big bucks on consignment.
Part intervention, part fashion lesson, “House of Consignment” offers viewers useful fashion advice as Corri uncovers surprisingly provocative and personal stories behind the clothes. Watch as Corri makes high-end fashion brands accessible to even the most budget-conscious, 20-something customer. It is the ultimate “fashion therapy” that never goes out of style.
Viewers can also join the fashion revolution. eBay will host a live auction for fans to bid on one, special item that was featured in that evening’s episode. Go to HouseofConsignment.vh1.com to learn more or on VH1’s Facebook and Twitter @VH1 and #HOC.
“House of Consignment” is executive produced by Stephanie Drachkovitch and co-executive produced by Jennifer Colbert for 44 Blue Productions. Executive producers for VH1 are Kristen Kelly, Jill Holmes and Jeff Olde.
Stevie TV Premieres March 4th + Details on the show

BE Magazine: There was a lot of drama surrounding you, Gloria, and Jackie Christie on last season’s show…what can we expect this season, and have you and Jackie BEen able to find common ground?
Laura Govan: I’m over it. Just because I don’t hang with you in real life or don’t care to be friends with a person doesn’t mean I hate them…
BE Magazine: How does it feel to BE in love? And does BEing in love feel BEtter with a 23 Carat Ring?

BE Magazine: What’s BEen new with Laura since we’ve last seen you on the BBW LA Reunion a few months ago?

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!”
