Instead of divorcing, Cecil and Simone decided to give their marriage another shot. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about Greg and Quad. Last season on 'Married To Medicine' reunion Greg opened a can of worms when he revealed  he was in a hotel room with another woman. Although he claimed nothing happened between him and this other woman, she alleges otherwise. Following the reunion the woman came out with a blog revealing details of her and Greg's involvement. The blog went viral. Quad who expressed her unhappiness towards her husband is embarrassed. She doesn't want to face her friends and castmates. She doesn't want to hear their opinions. 

In other news Simone hosted a leather and lace party for the ladies but Quad wasn't able to attend. Toya felt that Quad and Greg's situation is no different than anyone elses and that she should share her feelings. Contessa and Jackie disagreed. They felt she is entitled to keep what's going on private if she choose. However, Dr. Simone felt Greg's situation was already in the forefront, therefore, it's not a surprise.

Quad may not have been present at the leather and lace party but Miss Queen Mariah showed up and showed out! Mariah entered the room in a black leather catsuit ready to slay and ready to play!

Dr. Heavenly who drew a mustache on Mariah's picture during last season's reunion, tried to make it up to Mariah with a piece offering. She gave Mariah a picture where she was heavier and her foot was broken. Now Dr. Heavenly claim she was trying to show how sorry she was but we all know she was throwing shade. Mariah didn't like the picture and she laid it into Dr. Heavenly. While Dr. Heavenly remained calmed and clapped back at Mariah with mild sarcasm, Mariah alleged that Dr. Heavenly's husband Damon was cheating on her and she claims she has receipts to prove it. On top of that she made it appear as if the good doctor was cheating with another man. Wow!

So first it was Curtis, then Greg and now Damon. Somewhere in between there belongs Cecil's name. That part just haven't aired as of yet. This is just the beginning of what's yet to come. By the end of the season who will be divorced? Who will be separated?

'Basketball Wives' S7 Ep15: Recap: "Shaunie And Evelyn Shares A Mary Jane Experience"

It's a shame that a group of grown women can't even go to a place like Amsterdam and enjoy the marijuana experience without any drama. This whole season of 'Basketball Wives' has been centered around Kristen and CeCe which has become overbearing and bored to watch.

On the
On the episode "You Tried It" Evelyn and CeCe called a truce and agreed to co-exist and once again Kristen and CeCe tried to settle their differences. CeCe continued to beat around the bush about how she really felt about Kristen. She felt betrayed by Kristen when she revealed what CeCe said in confidence. This just has not been a good season for CeCe. On the other hand, Kristen may have been right about CeCe not being honest about her feelings but she also needs to keep in mind that CeCe is family. Even after the boat ride they tried to settle whatever the problem is and it went absolutely nowhere. Neither one of them is willing to even try to understand the other person's side. So, with that being said, "let it go already"!

Shaunie and Evelyn in Amsterdam


Despite the fact Evelyn invited Jennifer against Shaunie's wishes Shaunie still had to take care of business and she took Evelyn along for the ride. While they were in Amsterdam they tried some marijuana out of white tube that looked liked a joint but was much bigger and longer. Shaunie smoked that Mary Jane like a pro. Evelyn tried it but you could tell she is not a smoker. Following their Mary Jane experience they were suppose to be learning the educational side of the herb but they were too high to comprehend what the educator was saying.

At least someone was able to have somewhat of a good time. Shaunie planned this trip not expecting any drama but it's too late now! The drama traveled along with them on the trip. Evelyn added to the drama when she invited Jennifer. 

On the next episode of 'Basketball Wives' Jennifer shows her face to the rest of the group and not everyone acknowledges her presence. Shaunie made it clear she had nothing to say to Jennifer. Just when you thought Jen had enough problems with her ex, Tami, CeCe and Shaunie, another storm hits when it's revealed that Jen has not changed at all!

Big Brother 20



Queen Bay did her best in the Big Brother house to fight her way to the end but putting her trust in Rachel made her an easy target!

On Big Brother 20 episode 20, Angela convinced the alliance and the rest of the house that Bayleigh was the hacker. Hayleigh felt bad that the 25-year-old flight attendant was put up on the block so she told Bay the truth. She then told the rest of the BB house that she was the hacker. In return Bayleigh flipped out on Tyler which put even more of a target on her back. Although Hayleigh felt she did the right thing trying to save a member of her alliance, it just wasn't good enough!

During the live eviction every houseguest except Sam voted for Queen Bay to depart from the BB throne!

Big Brother 20


On every Big Brother season there is always that one houseguest calling the shots behind the scenes. This season it would be Tyler! Tyler has been pulling strings that most of the players are unaware of. He doesn't really have to do anything because he has them wrapped around his coils. Hayleigh made a big move when she put Tyler up on the block. He was also chosen not to vote during the eviction ceremony. Still and all, Tyler is still around. 

Who is it going to be next to try to get Tyler out? Will they be successful?

Ray J Tricks Safaree Into Telling The Truth On 'Love And Hip Hip Hollywood'

Photo by Google Images


There is only one highlighted moment that everyone is talking about from Monday night's episode of 'Love and Hip Hop Hollywood'!

On this season's premiere of 'Love and Hip Hop Hollywood' Kimberly formerly known as K. Michelle was the first to put Lyrica on blast about jumping in the bed with Safaree. A1 didn't believe the rumor to be true. That is until he heard it from others like Marcus who heard it from Brooke. Although Lyrica denied crossing that line with the Jamaican born producer, Safaree already admitted to the truth when he was being interrogated by Ray J. So what is Lyrica going to do now? Will she and A1 stay together? Should they stay together?



In the video above you see Ray J meet up with Safaree to discuss the picture of his anaconda floating around on social media. He then inquired about the rumor about him and Lyrica getting in between the sheets. Safaree denied taking things to a sexual level with A1's wife, but the look on his face read nothing but guilt! That's when Ray J tricked Safaree into telling the truth.

Safaree may have been able to escape from a ass whooping from the man with gold dreads, black nail polish and glittery shoes. He might not be so lucky next time! Then he gone wish he had security!

Looks like A1 had every right to come after Safaree but he didn't have to take it out on his mother. Following Lyrica's mother getting escorted out A1 aka Floyd put his mother out as well. To make matters worse he got into an altercation with his brother Lloyd who also felt like he had changed since he went Hollywood!

POWER S5, Ep. 4 Recap: "Will Tony Confession To His Wife Cost Him His LIfe?"

Photo by Google Images





Now that Tony Teresi is out of jail Connie, Ghost, Tommy as well as some of Tony's associates were suspicious of his sudden release. On the episode "Second Chances" Tony came clean to Connie revealing that he is an informant. He claims the only reason he did it was to be with his wife before she could possible die from cancer.

It's a shame that even with Connie's illness Tony is still being dishonest with his wife. He told her he wasn't after Tommy but he really is after his son he barely knows. While Tony was in the middle of talking to Connie, Tommy showed up to tell his father about the hit on him and the family. Tony pretends to be concerned only to get information to reveal to the FBI, specifically John Mak.

So the question is will Tony's confession to his wife put a target on his back? Tony felt safe telling Connie about his plans. Connie warned him that if the family found out he would be in big trouble. Tony assured her that they won't find out. Tony seems to be confident that his secret is safe but there is no such thing as safe once you are open to revelations. Last season Tommy showed up at Connie's house unannounced. Could she be the one who reveals Tony's truth to Tommy and the family? What would you do if you were in Connie's shoes?

James aka Ghost and Angela Valdez of POWER


After ignoring Ghost's calls and messages Angela Valdez finally decides to meet up with her former lover. This sudden meet up came after Tasha got fed up with Ghost not grieving the way she felt he should have over their daughter Raina which caused her to pack her bags and leave. Angela who thought she had something going with whom she thought was in public relations, until she found out he jus used her to stop her from her big break. Valdez then became vulnerable and answered to Jamie's demands. When the two met up face to face, the conversation between the two was bland. They didn't seem to know what to say to each other after not seeing each other for so long. James asked Angela what took her so long? Angela responded by saying "I'm here now".

James then asked Angela was she ok and she shook her head no. Angela asked James was he ok and he shook his head no. And that was that!

Joe Proctor of POWER


Meanwhile John Mak is not letting go of Joe Proctor. He had his crib searched for evidence in a crime while his daughter was there. Although they didn't find anything Mak isn't going away until he brings him down. Proctor met up with Ghost to inform him about Teresi. He advised nothing about their business be discussed in front of the informant. Ghost and Kanan don't trust Teresi but Tommy is too naïve to see that his newly found father is up to no good.

Dre the amateur is making big moves in the business world but he's also headed for destruction on the other side. Dre and James met face to face when Tate introduced him as an additional face to the board. Ghost who was shocked by the news shook hands with his enemy.

Dre has a lot to learn in this game! But for right now he is sitting on top and with Tate by his side he feels he can't be stopped. Only time will tell when "Dre Day" comes, and when they come, they all coming!

'POWER' Season 6 Episode 2 Recap: "Damage Control"

Photo by Google Images


There couldn't be no better title for this episode of 'Power' other than "Damage Control" because there were lots of it. One of Dre's crew members made a bad move that could put another hit out on Dre. Tommy made two foolish mistakes that could jeopardize his father Tony Teresi. While Tasha was looking for a comfortable place to grieve over the loss of their daughter Raina Ghost was reaching out to his ex aka mistress Angela Valdez. 

Still Breathing!

So Tariq who knows Dre and Kanan are partially responsible for his sister's death still has yet to learn his lesson. On the premiere of 'Power' he gave Dre heads up about the hit on him. Dre managed to escape the hit putting Tommy and Ghost in a bad situation with the Italians. On top of that after one of his crew members went reckless killing a prominent associate Dre finds himself in for more than he could handle. 



Undercover Boss!

In other news Angela believes someone knows Tariq is involved in Ray Ray's murder so she tries to tie up lose ends with an unlikely ally, Tasha St. Patrick. The problem is Valdez only joined forces to protect herself from being exposed. She knows Mak is own her like krazy glue so she's making sure she covers all her tracks. Sounds familiar! 

On the flip side the only thing she is doing right is not being around Jamie aka Ghost. For the moment she's ignoring him but how long will that last? 

Catch Him If You Can!

Joe Proctor may not have his job but he is going to fight tooth and nail to get it back. Mak wants Joe gone just as bad as he wants Angela's spot.  He tried to bribe Joe by telling him he would withdraw the complaint if he would give him info on a client. Joe refused which led Mak to go after Terry, St. Patrick's former lawyer with a subpoena.. Terry who never really liked Ghost in the first place did a good job at making Joe look bad calling his decisions unethical.

Ghost Revenge!

While Tasha was trying to find a place of solace to help her grieve Ghost (Omari Hardwick) was too busy trying to get in touch with Angela. After she didn't answer the first time he tried again. When she didn't respond he resulting to murder.

Ghost actions was clearly about revenge when he stabbed an innocent man to death. Would he have killed him if had spoken to Angela? Why was it so hard for Ghost to share grievance with his wife, Tasha?

Stay tuned for more 'Power' Sundays on Starz!

''Black Ink Crew Chicago' S4 Recap: "Danielle Breaks Off Engagement And The Old 9Mag Crew Confrtonts Ryan"


Photo by Google Images



That was real smooth the way Danielle was acting like everything was all good when Terrance came home. He had no clue what was about to go down because he thought he was off the hook. After Danielle revealed that she had proof  about he and velvet via text messages Terrance had no choice but to come clean. Was Velvet being messy? Of course, she was being messy but it was better that she knew then rather than after she said "I Do"!

Terrance had already lied to Danielle saying nothing happened between he and the stripper, but when she mentioned the messages he had no choice but to man up. However, for Terrance it might be too late for the "I'm sorries" and the "I f****d ups". It was pretty clear that the engagement is off when Danielle took off that ring showing him jus how he has her f****d up!

Ryan Henry Black Ink Crew Chicago


Despite the drama between Ryan and his so-called family he left behind Lily came up with a good idea to make money by going to the Chicago tattoo convention. They came up with a name called Loyal Mag but had no clue Ryan was going to be at the event. On top of that Charmaine was shocked when she saw Ryan who opened a new 9Mag, at the convention with a new crew. With Phor and Don gone that left Lily and Van left to do tattoos. Van was in a good mood until Charmaine broke the news about Ryan with a new crew. 

Ultimately, Ryan was forced to face the old 9Mag crew and his girl Rachel had his back all the way. She made it very clear that if they not messing with Ryan she ain't messing with them. She was riding for her man! You go Rachel!

Lily tried to talk to Ryan first about how he left her behind without saying a word. She wanted answers and she got what she wanted. Did she like the response? You can tell by the look on her face that she wasn't happy at all. Van and Charmaine was trying to get answers as well but Ryan blew them off like they were nothing to him. Van walked away even thought he wanted to punch Ryan in the face. Had they not have been in a public place he probably would have!

Sadly, Ashley took her youngest son with her to Texas leaving DJ behind. She wanted to get away from Don after all that has happened. Can you blame her?

On next week's episode of 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Lily tries to smash Danielle's face in. Lily feels Danielle shouldn't have a say so about what happens going forward with the shop. Danielle and Charmaine feels she has as much to do with the shop as Lily. 

Also Ryan invites Junior to the new 9Mag offering him the manager position. Junior wants to be a tattoo artist. He is on his hustle and making moves. Lily said she needed to work. Maybe she should have did what Junior did and still helped with Loyal Ink.

Will Junior accept Ryan's proposal?

Stay tuned for more 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Wednesday's on Vh1!
