Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Finale Recap: "Momma Dee Gets Married"





On the finale of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" Momma Dee and Earnest got married. Momma Dee had doubt of her son and daughter showing up but in the end they both surprised her. Although Erica was not in the wedding she did show support by showing up.

Meanwhile Jessica Dime made a fool out of Mimi when she invited Margeaux to perform on stage at an event Mimi put together. Jessica brought her stripper style to the stage which outweighed her performance while Margeaux lyrics just didn't flow with Dime's verses. It was a mess but only in the ATL.



While Kalenna was putting down tracks in the studio Rasheeda had an grand opening for her Boss Chicks store. Messy Karlie showed up and showed out bearing gifts. She found out some interesting news about Mimi going down to LA to be with Stevie which Joseline didn't know about.

Of course, Karlie went to relay the news to Joseline and in return she felt Joseline's rage. Joseline pulled a K. Michelle move when she hit Karlie with her flowers as she was leaving her dressing room.



Joseline also received a letter from her husband Stevie who was not present at her performance. Instead of taking his wife Stevie went to LA alone. Well, he won't be there alone but he traveled on the plane alone. Does that mean he and Mimi are getting back together?

Stay tuned for the reunion of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" on VH1!

"Power" Season 2 Finale Recap: "Ghost Is Dead"





On the finale of "Power" season 2 Ghost made some moves that turned the game upside down. First, he eliminated the competition with the exception of Lobos and his right hand man Tommy.

Ghost used Tommy to get to Kanan. Kanan fell for the bait and met up with who he thought was Tommy but it really was Ghost. Following a brutal scuffle Ghost set Kanan on fire. Tommy came on to the scene after seeing Holly and he ultimately became Ghost enemy. 

Meanwhile Ghost confronted Tasha about her dealing with Shawn. He tried to make her feel guilty only to satisfy his guilt. Ghost was sleeping with Angela before Tasha found out and even if she didn't tell him to continue his affair he would have.

Angela lost her job which is not a surprise. She may have fell in love with Jamie the club owner but she also fell in love with Ghost the drug dealer. Angela went back to Jamie believing he was no longer Ghost. Could he be just telling her that so he can make his next move?

Tommy also reunited with Holly. At the same time he received a phone call from Lobos demanding he kill Ghost or he will kill him, Holly and his dog. What will Tommy do? Will he continue his loyalty to Ghost knowing he got him kept him from going to prison?

Before Ghost cuddled in Angela's arms he received the same card he placed on Kanan before he set him on fire. Is Kanan really dead? 

After the first five episodes of season two "Power" was renewed for another season. Many viewers are wondering what's going to happen next. Did Kanan survive? Will Tommy kill Ghost? Is Angela pretending to be with Ghost so she can trap him? What's going to happen to Tasha? Did Ghost really leave the drug dealing business?

Stay tuned for season three of "Power" in 2016!

Gay Rapper Rejected By "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood" Cast



It looks like "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood" has raised it's stakes on the upcoming season.

According to TMZ, the producers have added Milan Christopher a rapper/model to the cast and some of the male cast including Ray J, Omarion, and Soulja Boy aren't happy about it. They claim it's not because he is gay but because he doesn't have enough street cred. They also said that they think he's been brought on by producers to boost ratings.

Whatever their excuse may be they have told producers that they choose not to film with him. They say they will also refuse to attend any parties or other events including him. Sounds like they do have a problem with his sexuality especially if they are now saying it's because they feel he's a joke and he's gay.

Milan is aware of how the rappers of "Love and Hip Hop Hollywood" feel about him. He told producers of the show that he feels he's being ostracized.

Should the producers of "L&HHH" drop Milan or keep him?

Dance Moms" Should Holly and Nia leave ALDC?




Abby Miller of the Lifetime series "Dance Moms" has always had her picks. Maddie was her favorite for the past seasons but on season five she's trying to get Kalani to be her next rising star. 

On episode 30 of season five Abby put Nia and Kalani up against each other for a solo performance. Out of her own mouth she said whoever wins will be doing a solo in nationals. Nia's did a jazz/hip hop dance called "Bye Felicia" and Kalani was given a contemporary piece called "Shades of Grey".


Unfortunately, Abby wasn't a woman of her word. It's bad enough that following Nia's performance she was too stubborn to raise her hands and clap, but when Kalani's performance was over she clapped. 


Holly Frazier always stands up for her daughter Nia as all the mother's should. During Tuesday night's episode she said  “I think Nia, quite honestly, is quite often the underdog that people just dismiss, but you can’t count her out. Don’t give up on my kid,” she said. “She may be the horse that’s coming in from behind you don’t even realize.”

During the award ceremony Kalani's performance came in at number three and Nia won first place. Was Abby happy? Of cours not! Instead she said "Oh My God" as if Nia didn't deserve to win. In the dressing room she hugged Kalani and dismissed Nia. She didn't say congratulations or anything. 




When Nia asked if she was in the finals since she beat Kalani, Abby said No that was not the case. She added that Kalani had a huge breakthrough. Holly then stood up for Nia said her daughter also had a breakthrough after winning first place but Abby disagreed.

“Oh, I don’t. She’s won what, three times in her life?” Abby said. “For what it’s worth I thought Nia was great, but she does not blow me away. I need a sure thing and my sure thing is Kalani.”





What Abby did was dead wrong. She said herself whoever wins will be performing in the finals. That was not fair for her to snub Nia just because Kalani came in third. This season Abby has been nothing but cruel and unfair toward Nia. She praises Kendall and the other girls when they do good but Nia is always overlooked.

Holly and Nia should just leave the ALDC. The moms don't take up for neither of them but Holly always had their backs until she realized they didn't have hers. It's a shame that Abby treats Nia the way she does. Nia has come a long way but it looks as if she's just taking up space. Nia is very talented and Holly can find her a better place with a teacher who wants to work with her and who sees her talent.

Former Dance Moms Christie and Kelly have already taken their girls and left ALDC and it wouldn't be a surprise if Holly and Nia are next! No one deserves to be treated the way Miss Miller treats Nia. It's even more sad when the other moms don't act like team players and speak up!

Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Season 4, Episode 15: "Bombshells andd Coward Moves"






This week on "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" nothing got resolved between Kalenna and Rasheeda so Kalenna an d Vick left. Although the two friends couldn't resolve their issues Lil Scrappy and Bambi were back in a good place. 

Meanwhile Nikko invited his mother down to Atlanta and Margeaux dropped a bombshell when she revealed to them that she had been seeing someone. 


Joseline had a sit down with Tiffany Foxx and lo and behold she liked the girl. We all know Joseline don't like no other females working with her hubby Stevie J. During their convo they both learned neither one of them were fond of Jessica Dime. Joseline also learned Stevie did a track with Tiffany so she did a track with some producers behind his back.

Stevie wasn't happy with Joseline going behind his back working with other producers. Could this be the end of their business relationship?



After Tiffany Foxx's meeting with Joseline and after Jessica was asked to do a collabo with Margeaux, Jessica and Tiffany ran into each other at the club. Jessica approached Tiffany asking to chat and Tiffany obliged. When Tiffany told Dime that Mimi hooked her up with Stevie and they recorded a track. 

Tiffany told Dime that Mimi said noone really wanted to work with her because she was unprofessional and rough around the edges. Dime took offense to what was allegedly said and she pulled a coward move. Jessica threw a drink on Foxx after she called her out on getting put out of the hotel when she had a sexual thing with Stevie and his wife.

Guess Jessica not about that Atlanta life!

Basketball Wives LA Season 4, Episode 4 Recap: "Shaunie Defends Meghan"




This week on "Basketball Wives LA" Meghan and Draya were still arguing over Draya saying Meghan had a FUPA (Fat, Upper, P***y, Area) in Jackie's cognac commercial. After Malaysia and Brandi stepped in to defend Draya, Shaunie defended Meghan. Evelyn Lozada and Tami Roman were guests on this episode. From the looks of things we can tell Shaunie is not a fan of Draya!



Meghan felt Jackie should have came to her defense but as usual Jackie was the one who started it all. Just when you thought the FUPA thing was over Jackie proceeded to bring it up again creating more tension between Meghan and Draya.



Brandi later invited all the ladies on a trip and Draya requested to bring her friend Angel. Shaunie made it clear that she doesn't do well with new people. Shaunie had already rubbed Draya the wrong way when she took up for Meghan. Malaysia and Brandi tried to talk Draya into giving Meghan a chance but spoiled Draya isn't willing to give in. 




Jackie claims to be friends with Draya and Meghan yet she continues to keep up drama between them. However, Draya is not as much of a true friend as she portrays. Draya and Jackie should be the best of friends because they are similar. As a matter of fact the show should be called The Jackie and Draya show!
