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!

'Love And Hip Hop Atlanta' Recap: "Tommie Gets Fired Following Altercation With Security"

Cast of Love and Hip Hop Atl

This week on 'Love and HIp Hop Atlanta' things got really bad for Tommie Lee. Unfortunately, the cast will no longer be able to film with their feisty co-star following an altercation with security.

Rasheeda invited the ladies out to invite them to her grand opening for Pressed in Houston. Everything was going fine until Tommie showed up intoxicated. While they were sipping on wine, Tommie added Hennessey to her wine before she proceeded to go after Spice. Spice had some concerns about Tommie's actions but Tommie was in another space. She immediately started being verbally abusive toward security which ultimately led to her being physical. As a result of Tommie's drunken behavior she was booted from the show. When the production crew brought it to the cast attention they too became even more concerned.

Tommie Lee

Before Tommie attacked security she said that things were deeper with her and Spice. Whatever she is going through is causing her to over consume alcohol. We have watch Tommie struggle with issues with her mother, sister, Scrapp, Karen King and co-cast members. She has even been in altercations with others outside of filming

Tiarra of Love and Hip Hop Atl

Although Tiarra may mean well, she is barking up the wrong tree. She already knows how Rasheeda feels about Jasmine in her space and yet she continues to spark the fire. Jasmine clearly doesn't understand her place. She feels because she has a child with Kirk that she can just pop up. Tiarra may be at fault for bringing her to Houston against Just Brittany wishes but Jasmine is a grown woman. She should know better!

Tokyo of Love and Hip Hop Atl

In the mist of all the hoopla going on, Tokyo was feeling some type of way about messy Karlie. She feels that she ambushed Sierra when she brought BK's side pieces to meet her. Then she felt like Karlie ambushed her when she told her that Tobias has moved on with Spice. Karlie was on a mission to make amends but Tokyo wasn't giving in. Karlie may have been trying to do a good thing by telling Sierra about her new boo but she lost her boo because of it!

Also on 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' it was revealed that Jessica and her boo will be having a baby girl!

'Basketball Wives' S7, Ep3 Recap: "For All Is Done Will Not Be Forgiven"

Basketball Wives Cast

Things are getting heated on 'Basketball Wives' but the pot isn't boiling just yet!

What turned out to be a joke about ended up causing more chaos than to be expected. Evelyn and Jen may have thought they didn't do anything wrong but had the shoe been on the other foot, neither one of them would have been laughing. To make matter worse they tried to put it off on Kristen just to save face. Jennifer stirred the pot when she offered Kristen vodka thinking that she would be truthful. This is what you call pointing the finger but Kristen stood her ground. Cece was right! Jen and Evelyn were definitely trying to cause a rift between the two.

Kristen Scott

Kristen was not at all afraid of Jen. In fact, while she was giving out vodka calling it truth serum, looks she's the one who was offering the truth and didn't even know it. Jen definitely has some explaining to do. In the middle of her and Kristen argument she said she was going to court because of someone making false accusations about her, but on the first episode she claim she was going to court to get restraining order against her ex because he was stalking her. Now which one is it?

Jennifer Williams and Shaunie O'Neal

This season of 'Basketball Wives' Jennifer has been really stirring the pot. After being invited to a bbq by OG she tried to get Evelyn and Tami to squash their beef. Unfortunately, that didn't go so well. Tami asked Evelyn about her impersonating her and Evelyn didn't hold her tongue. Ev and Jackie then went at it over something of the past. 

Ev made it clear that she will never forgive Jackie for what she said about her daughter. It's also clear that Ev and Tami will never be friends!

These ladies are a bit too old to be arguing over something so petty. However, it seems like they are just looking for a reason to be mad at one another. Evelyn is no different than Jackie. She and Jen made a joke that could have tampered with that woman's career. It's no different than Jackie calling Ev's daughter a build-a-w***e! IJS!


Stay tuned for more of this season of 'Basketball Wives' Monday on Vh1!

'Black Ink Crew Chicago' S4 Premiere Recap: "Can Van Save 9Mag"

Black Ink Crew Chicago Cast

The new season of 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' has began and it's already a mess in 9Mag!

Out of spite for what Ryan considered family turning against him, he decided to destroy the tattoo shop leaving Van to pick up the pieces. Ryan made sure noone was going to make any money at the shop. Although Charmaine still has her weekend job at WGCI and Phor is making big moves in his music career, the rest of the employees don't have a back up plan.

Ryan had no remorse for what he did to 9Mag. He felt everyone turned against him because of what transpired between he and Kat. He felt as if Van took the females side over his. Ryan made it clear that he wants nothing else to do with 9Mag. He also revealed that the lease would be up in a week. With Ryan walking away will Van be able to save 9Mag?

Don and Ashley

Looks like Don is living up to his male thottish ways again! He then got himself in some more trouble but this time it might be over for him for good. Don cheated on his wife Ashley of two years and he didn't even try to hide it. Don already cheated on Ashley with Charmaine, had a baby on Ashley with a random chick, had a fling the day before he got married and let a chick give him head on snap chat.  Unfortunately, Ashley isn't so forgiving this time. She said Don crossed the line this time but he crossed the line a long time ago when he had sex with Charmaine in the first season.

Now that 9Mag is on it's last leg what is Van and the rest of the crew going to do now? From the looks of things like Richard aka O S**t of 'Black Ink Crew New York', Don can't afford to unemployed with three kids and a possible fourth!

On the finale of 'Saints and Sinners' season 3 Lady Bird got what she deserved. She may have thought she got off with her lawyer but her daughter mayor Ella Marie Johnson had other plans. Not only did she leave her mother with nothing she made sure she wasn't able to cause anymore problems for her by having her committed to a mental institution.

While Ella was on a rant of abusing her power by firing spree when she fired Detectives Hawkins and Noah St. Charles, her daughter Chrissy played by Jasmine Burke was strapped. But of course, Ella already knew that. Chrissy couldn't stand to deal with the guilt of playing a part in Tamara and Miles baby so she did the right thing and got them their baby back. Her grandmother would not have been too happy but it doesn't matter what she thinks now!

Tamara and Miles weren't the only ones who were reunited with their child. Gloria who had been locked up for years thanks to Lady Byrd was reunited with her son Jabari thanks to Malik. Malik hasn't even been on the scene long ans he has already taken over Cypress. Will his brother Jabari join forces with him or will he stay with Rex and become his competition instead?

Since mayor Ella became in a power of position she's been trying to keep it by eliminating all of those who can expose her. Like her mother, Ella doesn't have any friends, except for Rex, but how long will that last? 

Rex is playing both sides to get what he wants from both Ella and Jabari. He knows Ella hired a hit on Jabari which will eventually come out. With Malik in charge how far will Rex and Ella go to bring him down? 

In the end of the finale of 'Saints and Sinners' Rex did the unthinkable and set the church on fire. That fire is the ending of new beginnings but will it help Rex regain his position of power?

Well now that season 3 has come to an end we will truly miss Levi played by Christian Keyes and Paige played by Karlie Redd. Karlie proved that she is more than just a reality star. Gotta give the 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta' star props on her acting skills. 

Stay tuned for latest updates on 'Saints and Sinners'! In the meantime you can still catch up on the series on Bounce Tv or Brownsugar!

Two Black Women Makes History Becoming First Pilots Of Alaska Airlines

First Black Female Pilots of Alaska Airlines

Congratulations to Captain Tara Wright and Officer Mallory Cave on becoming the first Black women to fly a plane in Alaska!

According to KTVA, Sunday, on Mother's Day, Captain Tara Wright and Officer Mallory who were apart of the first ever Black women flight crew, flew Flight 361 from San Francisco to Portland. Before take off the pilots spoke to the passengers on the intercom to announce that they were apart of history while making a video for Facebook.

“Finally, you’re sharing a pretty interesting piece of Alaska Airlines history this morning,” Wright told passengers, who erupted into applause. “You’ll be piloted by two female African-American pilots for the first time in the airline’s history.”

Becoming the first Black female pilots is an extraordinary accomplishment, especially since Black female employees in the airline industry is very rare. Similar to deck crews and captains in the boating industry most of the employees are White. 

According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 72 percent of airline employees are White and 60 percent of them are male. Across various airlines 91 percent of pilots and 73 percent of flight attendants are white, with only 9 percent being female.
