‘Empire’s’ New Couple?
Are “Empire” stars Trai Byers (Andre Lyon) and Grace Gealey (Anika “Boo Boo Kitty” Calhoun) dating? The duo was spotted at a friend’s wedding sparking rumors that they’re more than just family. According to sources, Trai and Grace were “affectionate” at times but “conscious that people were looking.”
In other “Empire” news, Jussie Smollett (Jamal Lyon) squashed rumors that there was drama brewing behind the scenes. “That’s all bullsh*t, 100% of it. We all love each other, period,” he said. That’s the least of “Empire’s” worries. Real life Empire CEO Ghazi Shami accused Twentieh Century Fox of “infringement.”
“This music shares the same search terms as EMPIRE’s music, the musical genres are identical, and the songs and albums are positioned in close proximity in online outlets such as iTunes, Google Play, Amazon.com, and Spotify. It isn’t just a fictional show; they are functioning as a record label in the real world,” he said in a statement.
“We are confident that this is a textbook trademark infringement case,” he added.
LEt’s hope they figure this all out before season 2.

Having a baby by Chris Brown has some perks. According to reports, Breezy offered to move Nia Guzman (his baby’s mother) and his beautiful baby girl Royalty from Texas to the Hollywood Hills where he’ll pay their living expenses. Talk about a come up.
Breezy has been paying Nia more than the required amount of child support, but threatened to reduce the payments when she started talking about their relationship in the tabloids. If Nia decides to take his offer and move to Cali, he allegedly won’t take Nia to court for a fixed child support rate imposed by a judge that would be less than what he is paying her.
Sounds like a deal to us!
While Chris Brown is planning to upgrade Nia, his ex-girlfriend Karrueche is trying to find her way without him. She sat down with life coach Iyanla Vanzant for a special “positive” edition of “Fix My Life” that airs March 28th on OWN.

As ratchet as “Basketball Wives” could be at times, we had our favorite characters and Evelyn Lozada was definitely one of them. After appearing on “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” Evelyn opted for a more private life.
Now, after going through a public divorce with Ochocino and having a baby by Carl Crawford, the fitness fanatic is ready to make her realty TV return on OWN. According to Variety, the show will follow Evelyn and her daughter Shaniece while covering Ev’s “new found life, as a new mother again, while balancing the relationship with her daughter.”
“Evelyn” is scheduled to premiere this July.

Shonda Rhimes Claps Back At Deadline’s Ridiculous Article

What’s wrong with this title: Pilots 2015: The Year of Ethnic Castings – About Time or Too Much of a Good Thing? How about, everything! Why Deadline, why?
An excerpt from the article reads,
Instead of opening the field for actors of any race to compete for any role in a color-blind manner, there has been a significant number of parts designated as ethnic this year, making them off-limits for Caucasian actors, some agents signal. Many pilot characters this year were listed as open to all ethnicities, but when reps would call to inquire about an actor submission, they frequently have been told that only non-Caucasian actors would be considered. “Basically 50% of the roles in a pilot have to be ethnic, and the mandate goes all the way down to guest parts,” one talent representative said.
Sheds a tear for the obsolete White actors and actresses. Please! Shonda Rhimes perfectly captured our response to article in this tweet:
1st Reaction:: HELL NO. Lemme take off my earrings, somebody hold my purse! 2nd Reaction: Article is so ignorant I can't even be bothered.

And in these tweets she retweeted on her page:
Horrible Deadline article, you've left me no choice. I must go FULL FACEPALM, from ALL of Star Trek! Happy now??! pic.twitter.com/HC3FEY5CTW

Just astounding that something so tone deaf could be published in 2015 by a supposedly credible news source. http://t.co/373NhjyUz9

We can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a parent. In fact, it’s one of our worst nightmares. Kelly Rowland lost her mother late last year and until a recent appearance on “The Meredith Vieira Show,” she rarely talked about it.
