WETV says of tonight’s episode “Toni asks Trina to perform her songs at a concert, but Trina struggles during rehearsals. Evelyn moves to LA and makes Tamar take a parenting class… Toni lights up the stage with a performance of I Heart You.”

But Toni is having issues. “I always feel a connection with my fans when I got out. But the last few months I have felt disconnected. But when I sing I heart you, it makes me happy, it kind of makes me happy, I really mean it, so that part is good.”

Recently, Fantasia told Singersroom that she can’t imagine Toni Braxton ever retiring. “I watched the Braxton show and I was listening to Toni Braxton…she was talking about how she lost the passion and the love for music, and I almost broke down and cried. You look back at all the things she’s done, and her talent is amazing, and for somebody that was born into music, literally is music, to say that they don’t have that passion anymore, it broke my heart”.

She also told news “I think that comes from all the other drama and all the other dumb stuff that comes with the industry now…For me, I don’t ever want to get to that point, and I was almost at that point! I’m here to bless the people that listen to me.”

Tamar Braxton vs Quad Married to Medicine: Bravo Gives WeTv Read

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – If the Tamar Braxton vs Quad Webb-Lunceford shade debate was not enough, Tamar Braxton and Andrea Kelly are now giving a read to Mariah Huq. And Mariah is reading to “throw up your life” for anyone who fumes “get your life”.

Reality TV fans have been debating the nuisances between Tamar and Quad this season on competing networks. They have also noted have both broadcasters have turned to online marketing vehicles that appear to mirror one another’s programs.

For several season, Tamar Braxton’s broadcaster WETV included a page of Braxton Family value catchphrases. Ironically, many of them belonged not to Tamar but her sister Trina. In fact Trina became most notable for adding “-ization” to the end of much of everything, especially Gabe. As to Gabe’s antics, it was “cheaterization” that Trina hated.

This year, as Bravo debuted Married to Medicine, it didn’t just promote the show with header splashes on its homepage with third person language; it also added a catchphrase page. A hence the network shade began.

Recently the Jasmine Brand asked Quad what she thought of the Tamar vs Married to Medicine debate. “You know, there might be some similarities but we’re still really different people. I love her personality,” Quad stated. “Give me someone who’s over the top. And I will live for them.

But Quad doesn’t see the comparison as clearly. “I see sometimes where she’s kind of loud and I would say I’m loud too. But I see her heart,” said Quad. “She has a really great heart. She’s a very ambitious woman and she thrives to make her mark in life and I love that. I love to see that.”

In fact, tonight, two networks will have women speaking in third person (“she doesn’t do that”, “she is here”).

But one cast member from yet a third show doesn’t like “her” catchphrases getting “robbed”. And she is ready to give a “read” on that stealin’azation. Andrea Kelly of Hollywood Execs tells news that she doesn’t like Mariah saying “check ya email” on Married to Medicine. She adds “Start like this: Drea Kelly said it best, “check ya email.” Somebody call the cops. I’ve been robbed! And yes, this is a read. Boom.”



OJ Simpson One Hand Free Granted During Las Vegas Hearing

OJ Simpson One Hand Free Granted During Las Vegas Hearing


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – OJ Simpson got one hand free today during his Las Vegas hearing today. Simpson was allowed by the court to have one hand free as the former football great sought a new trial. The court ruled that Simpson could use the free hand to take notes and drink water. It was the same hand that didn’t fit in the glove during his infamous murder trial. Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell allowed Simpson, 65, to have his right hand free despite being shackled on the left hand and waist during the heating.

The hearing is trying to determine whether Yale Galanter conducted such a poor handling of Simpson’s Vegas case that he should get a new hearing. On the stand today was Gabriel Grasso, co-counsel with Yale Galanter in the Las Vegas case.

“Hey Gabe. Wanna be famous?” Grasso claims Yale Galanter allegedly told him when offering him a role on the Vegas case. Galanter told Grasso that the two would split $750,000 in legal fees. Instead, Grasso almost never got paid and got a mere $15,000. “I feel he’s a capable attorney. Now that I know how things turned out, this wasn’t his best case” he said in court this week. When asked “Was Mr. Galanter trying to sell O.J. down the river?” Grasso said “no”.

The hearing is Simpson’s attempt at a new trial concerning his 2007 Las Vegas conviction. It is unrelated to the murder and civil cases in which Simpson was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the heirs of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

M.K. Ducote, Kim Kardashian Co-Star, Debuts New Book


LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – M.K. Ducote, Kim Kardashian’s co-star, debuts a new book this month. M.K. Ducote, Chapman Ducote’s wife, joined the cast of Kim & Kourtney Take Miami this season. Now this month she is published a new fiction book on Amazon about professional motorsports.

In a news statement to LALATE, Ducote’s reps describe her book as a “wild journey through the adrenaline-fueled world of professional motorsports.” It details the background on the sport including “ego, intrigue and ruthless competition.” The storyline is set across several historic racetracks throughout the world and covers everything from “talented young drivers, pushy agents, [to] wealthy sponsors, fickle team owners, trophy wives, flag-girls and hopeful models.”

The book is the first in a trilogy series, reps tell LALATE. Chapman Ducote has 14 career podiums to date. But “tossed into the exciting and scandalous world of motorsports, M.K. was enthralled by the behind-the-scenes drama and set pen to paper, plucking from real life the colorful settings and drama of her fiction series.”

The story details the life of Coleton Loren, a professional racecar driver described as “unaccustomed to setbacks who finds himself injured in the off-season.” But the story changes when, “charmed by his beautiful, yet bookish doctor, Camilla, he sweeps her into his world—a world of gossip and glamour that she never knew or dreamed of—as he fights to reclaim the top step of the podium.” For more click HERE.

Trump Slams Stewart Name Change from Jonathan Leibowitz



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Trump is slamming Stewart for his name change from Jonathan Leibowitz. Donald Trump slammed Jon Stewart on Twitter this week for changing his name from Jonathan Leibowitz.

Trump’s slamming of Stewart started with the tweet “I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz – I mean Jon Stewart @TheDaily.” Thereafter, Stewart fired back at Trump calling him “Von Clownstick.”

The Twitter feud among adults wasn’t done yet. “Amazing how the haters & losers keep tweeting the name… ‘Von Clownstick’ like they are so original & like no one else is doing it”, said Trump. He later added “What’s funny about the name … Von Clownstick’ — it was not coined by Jon Leibowitz– he stole it from some moron on Twitter. If Jon Stewart is so above it all & legit, why did he change his name from Jonathan Leibowitz? He should be proud of his heritage!”

Trump continues to slam personalities this spring while trying to promote his TV show. He recently did the same about Beyonce’s halftime performance. “When Beyonce was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal!” He added “I thought it was ridiculous … I thought it was not appropriate. There’s been no mention of it…So obviously, it must not have been so bad. She gets a pass.”

Meantime J.C. Penney, Benetton and Sears have urged for improved working conditions in Bangladesh.

Recently, Mohammed Sohel Rana, the Bangladesh factory owner, was arrested. Rana is the owner of the Rana Plaza which collapsed just days ago. Mohammed Sohel Rana was being pursued for counts of negligence, illegal construction and forcing workers to join work. His father has been charged on aiding Rana on the employment count.

Rana was recently arrested trying to flee the country. “RAB arrested Sohel Rana from Benapole frontiers as he tried to flee the country,” state minister for local government Jahangir Kabir Nanak said in a news statement. “The prime minister had promised that those responsible will be brought to justice. She has kept her promise.”
