Cast of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta Season 7


It's a new season of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' and there's some new players in the game, but for some people things just never change!

Just like last season the ladies were out at the club enjoying a exotic performance from the Jamaican dancehall queen Spice. If you watched last season of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' Spice was introduced to the ladies by Karlie who showcased her twerking skills while they were on a trip in Jamaica. Mimi who was with Melissa introduced her new boo Ty, a WNBA player. When Mimi was dating Chris from season 5 of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" she didn't identify herself as a lesbian or bisexual? She then dated Melissa the following season. And let's not forget the moment she had with her nemesis Joseline on one of those foggy nights!

Erica Mena of Love and Hip Hop Atl


Erica Mena who left 'Love and Hip Hop New York' in 2015 at the end of season 5 has returned to the franchise.  Last March she tweeted that she would never go back to L&HH. She added that anyone who goes back must need the money. So guess it's safe to say she needs the money!

Tommie of Love and Hip Hop Atl


Meanwhile Tommie has returned and this time she wants to focus on her music. It was so good to see Tommie and her mother in a good space but for some people things just never change. Tommie's mother suggested she and her sister Versace try to make amends. Tommie agreed to meet her 21-year-old sister. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the two didn't see eye to eye and things got physical real quick. Tommie threw what appeared to be a cup at her sister's head but she missed. Security stepped in before things escalated any further. Now how many times must Tommie go to jail for the same thing? She caught a case for threatening Joseline and then another case when she went to her sister's job acting a fool.Tommie is a beautiful woman. If only she could tone it down and control her temper.

However, it seems as though Erica Mena doesn't mind her feisty attitude and violent behavior. Erica came on strong to Tommie. She told Tommie she wants her and that's why she came to Atlanta. Erica then asked Tommie out on a date. Although Tommie was flattered her facial expression read "not interested"!  She left the event right in the middle of Erica's speech. Erica says she's not going to give up on going after what she wants. Will we see Tommie and Erica hook up? This is 'Love and Hip Hop', anything is to be expected! Remember how Erica got Cyn!

Rasheeda of Love and Hip Hop Atl


On another note Kirk just came seem to get a break! While Rasheeda is out enjoying her time away from her husband, Kirk is feeling the consequences of having an affair and a child on his wife. Kirk admitted to the fellas that he took a paternity test and the baby is indeed his child. Kirk had hoped to move back home with his family. After dropping the bomb on Rasheeda that he is the father of Jasmine's child he  dug a deeper whole for himself.  After 17 years of being together Rasheeda might be at the end of her rope. Let's be honest, how much more does he think she's going to take. He cheated on her before and to do it again is just a slap in the face! Hope things work out for Rasheeda and Kirk!

Estelita of Love and Hip Hop Atl

Joseline also has a baby with Stevie named Bonnie Bella!

'Love and Hip Hop Miami' S1 Reunion P1 Review: "Blue Loses His Cool"

Photo by Google Images



Now usually the spotlight is on the one and only Bobby Lytes but on part one of the 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' reunion it was all on Baby Blue!

After Bobby and Alvin squashed their little boy beef Nina got into what happened on the premier of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' when Blue and Shay started out on the wrong foot. Before Nina got the answer she was looking for Blue went off on Liz causing Prince to stand up and defend his woman. He then went off on Nina Parker the host of the show after she reminded him that he needed to be respectful. 

Blue acted the same way on the reunion as he did on the show. This is his personality! He immediately disrespected Liz with conviction as if she did him wrong. Although his boys had his back Prince was defending Liz like a man should. Gabby couldn't make it to the reunion but that didn't stop Blue from calling her a groupie via satellite. It was  also obvious Blue still had some issues with Pleasure for leaving the group to go solo.

Baby Blue and Shay of Love and Hip Hop Miami reunion

Baby Blue wasn't the only one popping off on the 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' reunion. Shay also had her regular pop off moment when she addressed Chinese Kitty while she was defending Gabby. They both took shots at each other and almost through hands but security stepped in just in time.

Maybe Shay and Blue should get together. They are one of a kind. They didn't like each other at first. Now they are working together. Who knows what the future hold?

Also on the reunion we found out that Malik and Jeffrey are no longer together. Malik didn't want to share the reason for their break up but now he's free to be with his boo Bobby! That is if he takes him back!

'Love and Hip Hop S8 Reunion 2 Review: "Mariah and Safaree Turn Up The Heat In The Jacuzzi"

Photo by Google Images


So it looks like Safaree is an official member of the creep squad!

During this season of 'Love and Hip Hop' Safaree had his eyes set on Dream Doll after being introduced to her by DJ Self. They seem to hit it off on a good note but then things became sour after Safaree saw a pic of Dream Doll and Lil Uzi on Instagram on Boyfriends Day. Dream Doll told Safaree that he was lacking so she had to move on to the next, but in reality she was really mad because he was considering doing a track with Mariah. 

On part two of 'Love and Hip Hop' reunion Dream Doll admitted she took a picture with another dude just to get back at Safaree. So did Safaree join Mariah, Dream Doll's opp at the time, in the jacuzzi to get back at Dream Doll?

Mariah and Safaree of Love and Hip Hop


Also on the 'Love and Hip Hop' season 8 reunion Nina Parker surprised the viewers and even some cast members with a clip of Mariah and Safaree sharing a passionate kiss in the jacuzzi. Of course, they couldn't deny it because the clips don't lie. However, they both denied going any further than a kiss. What do you believe?

Originally it was Rich, Peter, Cisco and DJ Self in the creep squad but it looks like Safaree had joined the club. Not only was he with Dream Doll and Mariahlynn, he also tried to pursue JuJu, Cam'ron's ex fiance. JuJu made it clear that she does not have time for nonsense. After seeing the clip of Safaree and Mariah her reasons for not going further with Safaree were very clear!

Jonathan, Reuben, Anais, James R of Love and Hip Hop New York


For the first time on the season of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' Bri, Bianca, Dream Doll and Mariah Lynn were able to sit around each other without acting like teenage girls in a schoolyard. 

On part one of the season 8 reunion Anais and Richie D faced off. Rich tried to justify his pettiness when he revealed to Reuben that Anais showed her box to Jacquae. Anais brought her over the top antics to the stage but no matter what people say she's honest with herself.

Remy Ma had to put Bri in her place when she tried to defend her immature behavior during the show. Like she said, you can't say you are going to drag someone and then not expect them to react. During the final episodes of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' season 8 Bri made it appear as if she was trying to change but her behavior on the reunion showed the same Bri. Dream Doll and Mariah lynn managed to stay in their seats. Even Bianca was well-behaved. She was rocking that pink fur though! Safaree has rubbed off on his castmates!

Yandy's mother-in-law Judy was probably one of the best dressed cast members on the stage. That white dress with the long spit and blonde hair had her looking like a video vixen. She made Dream Doll look like a nun! Mendeecees, Yandy's husband who is still incarcerated did a phone interview where he expressed his dislikeness for his mother's male friend Rob. He also expressed his displeasure with the way Yandy dress.  He feels she goes to far when she wears skimpy clothing. Yandy is a woman with curves. It doesn't matter what she puts on she's going to look good in it!

Also on part one of the reunion it was revealed that both Remy Ma and Lil Mo are expecting! Congrats to the new editions to the franchise!

Stay tuned for part two of 'Love and Hip Hop New York' reunion Monday on Vh1!

Veronica Vega and Young Hollywood of Love and Hip Hop Miami

In the beginning of this season of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' Veronica, Amara and Steph started out as friends. That friendship was tested when Young Hollywood came into the picture. On this episode Amara was talking to JoJo about Vega when Steph popped up and then came Vega and Young Hollywood. Vega came in taking jabs at Amara which ultimately turned into a screaming match until they both began to fight. When it was all said and done Vega questioned Steph's loyalty. All of this chaotic nonsense over a wig caused friend to turn into frienmies!

In the mix of things Trick Daddy who agreed to give Joy a divorce all of a sudden changed his mind because he didn't want her to be happy without him. Trick also revealed to Trina that it was Joy who caused them to break up. No matter what the case Joy took matters in her own hands and got her own lawyer. Now they both can be free and single!

Just like Firecracker Shay popped off in the beginning of the show she made sure she ended the finale the same way. Shay was at Trick Daddy and Trina's show when she approached Joy. She addressed Dawn as her friend, Pleasure P as her ex and Joy as a snitch. Joy didn't back down from Shay who jumped on the table to get to Joy. When Shay walked away Joy came for the attack but she missed. One thing is for sure Shay may not be afraid to pop off when she feels the need to. However, her actions doesn't make her look good personally or professionally! Shay is no different than Bianca, Bri, Dream Doll and Mariah Lynn. She the vet of popping off in reality tv!

Gunplay of Love and Hip Hop Miami


Also on the finale of the first season of 'Love and  Hip Hop Miami' Gunplay met up with his girlfriend Keyara to confess his love  and to vow that he was going to change. Keyara felt like she heard it all before so she gave him an ultimatium which was to check himself into rehab. Gunplay agreed to go to rehab but does that mean he's going to change? 

Stay tuned for the upcoming reunion of 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' this coming Monday on Vh1!

Devin and Johnny Bananas of The Challenge Vendettas


Betcha Johnny didn't see this coming!

In 'The Challenge Vendettas' you come in with vendettas and you leave with vendettas. This week's episode the house was turned upside down by a rumor initiated by Devin. Devin who begged the members of the Trioka to send Johnny Bananas in to go against him revealed that Bananas and Kayleigh had hooked up to Nelson. Nelson took the rumor and ran with it. He told Natalie in front of Bananas who denied the rumor. Kayleigh however admitted to hooking up with Johnny which led to  a bullying incident Kailah, Jemmye and 'Britni.

Kayleigh of The Challenge Vendettas


Before elimination Kailah, Jemmye and Britni took Kayleigh's belongings and threw them over the stair rail. Although they didn't see it as bullying it clearly was. Jemmye seemed to be the only one who felt bad about what she did but Kailah had no remorse. Other players in the house were upset with the three girls for what they did to Kayleigh. Following the incident Kayleigh spent the night at a hotel.

Kailah, Zach and Tony were the Trioka this week. Leroy, Nelson and Bananas were the three nominated for elimination. Zach picked Nelson to go in but it was no surprise that Kailah chose Johnny. Tony who had been friends with Johnny for the past five seasons took matters in his own hands and changed the game by saying Bananas name. He also put a target on his back and went from friend to foe.

During the elimination challenge Devin defeated Johnny and sent him packing. He thought for sure he wasn't going into elimination due to his history with Tony and Zach. It was time for a power move and Tony took the opportunity to take it now while he had the chance. Johnny wasn't happy to be entering elimination  and he was certain he was going to return. Devin wanted Johnny and he got him. He said he was going to beat him and he did!

Johnny who is  a vet in this game is also one of the strongest players in the game. Now that he's out the game Zach is the man to beat. 

Did Tony make the right move? Some might say he made a bad move. Tony did what he had to do to stay in the game. If the shoe was on the other foot Johnny would have did the same! Good Job Tony! Congrats Devin!

Catch up on 'The Challenge Vendettas' Tuesday's on MTV!
