Caroline Manzo, has been determined to slim down as her wedding day approaches.

 And she's been documenting her journey on her social media.Lauren, who underwent 

breast reduction surgery last year and a Lap-Band procedure in 2012, has always 

been open about her weight struggles. In addition to tweeting about hitting the gym, Lauren, 

who is set to wed longtime love Vito Scalia in April, has given updates on her 

progress. Over the weekend she shared, "Down 16 lbs since January! I’d really like to

 lose 25 more by April!" A month before that, she revealed that she was already down 

10 pounds from the beginning of the year.

So how does she look? Lauren recently showed off her slimmed-down figure on Instagram

 while serving up her best Beyoncé. And we gotta say: the girl looks good!

Adopting a healthier approach to diet and exercise isn't the only thing on her mind. Lauren

 is deep into 

the wedding planning process. She's said she hopes to tie the knot in the 

church of her fiancé's alma mater. "Fordham University". And she's already picked out a 

color scheme. "I want the bridesmaids to wear wedding dresses, too," she said. 

"Mine will be "snow white" and they will be in Ivory or Cream".

What do you think of Lauren's new look?

 And do you think that Lauren's wedding will be cool or not?

Shots Fired At Kordell While The Braxton Sisters Are On Bethenny Discussing The Family’s Business! [Video]

Towanda Braxton isn’t having her sister Tamar’s mouth as much as she used too. 

I can understand where both of them r comin from & they both have valid points. For 

instance, Pro's 4 Towanda's side: I totally get how any1 can b ova Tamar's shady azz

 comments all the dam time (which rite b4 Tae throws u a "whole palmtree", she says 

"no shade", followed by actual shade lol). Like R. Kelly once sang, "When a woman's

 fed up, it ain't nothing u can do about it". And I def get that Towanda is ova bein 

disrespected by Tae all the time. Now the Cons: I believe that Towanda should be like 

the other sisters & realize Tae is who she is, plus Towanda is older & maturer & 

should act like it. And everyone knows that Tae doesn't own up 2 anything & never 

apologizes, so wen Tae put her pride 2 the side & genuinely and sincerely apologized.

While crying & pleading 4 Towandas forgiveness, To was a complete evil beotch 2 Tae

 & I think that was totally UN-called for & it showed that its a bigger underlining grudge

 that To is holding on too and what Tae is always begging 2 find out the true "Beef". 

On the other hand I truly believe that when sum1 is holding a grudge against u & Ur 

asking constantly "Whats the problem"? And that person cant tell u exactly where there rage is coming from, its down right JEALOUSY! Yes, Tae gets out of line w/the entire fam & not just w/Towanda. Yes Tamar is: Crazy, Spoiled, the Youngest sibling, Sensitive, Shady, etc. But all she wish 2 have is her sisters there 2 support her like they do Toni. But Tow punishing Tae cause of the same mouth that all the Braxtons admitted 2 creating. Yes, at a certain point wen Ur tired of sum1 disrespecting u all the time, u stop dealing w/them, but u cant get rid of family. And b4 they all became famous & b4 all the; egos, diva personalities, fame, success, etc. They were able 2 hangout, vacay 2gether & support each other physically. But now that every1 has their own success, its harder 2 b there physically & that's what Tae needs 2 stop blaming them 4 something they cant control & that Tae needs 2 stop being so dam spoiled, but it does seem like the girls support each other, but they couldn't call Tamar & congrats her on her #1album? And at the "Soul Train Awards" once again Tow couldn't give Tae that day at all cause she decides 2 do an interview w/Gossip Queen Wendy Williams Show, and says "well I luve my sister, but I just don't like her at all" (she wasn't talking about Toni, not dumb Tow & even her sisters said Tow was out of line), but as soon as Tamar won those awards "Sister Spotlight Soaker" aka Towanda was the 1st one given her a fake azz hug. I truly believe that Tow is just alittle jealous of her baby sister, Tamars super stardom & Tow is mad that shes thee only sister 

that's not doing anything productive w/her fame. I mean besides being famous from 

the Braxtons hit reality show (and dating Kordell Stewart, ex- NFLer & ex-hubby 2 

Porscha Stewart from the "Real Housewives of ATL. Which Porscha says shes 

happy 4 them, plus why should she care,when shes preggos by a misturae guy). 

Trina has a singing career as well as her company "Bar Girls", Toni has reinvented 

her super stardom since she started humping & put out a hit album w/BabyFace. 

Even Traci (the once Wannabe) has an album coming out (supposedly, which I cant 

imagine how that would even sale, even though her 1st single sounds good. I just 

don't think Traci will take this serious enough & who the hell will buy that album no 

matter how good it sounds. She'll get sum pity sells from fans of The Braxtons & 

that's it, sorry its the truth.), as well as her own radio show.  And of course the biggest 

star in the fam now is Tamar, with her: #1hit album (which is still n the top 10mons 

later), her 3 "Soul Train Awards", a Grammy nom, hit videos, 3 #1 hit shows: "The 

Braxtons", "Tamar & Vince" & "The Talk", plus her multiple tours that shes on now, 

SHE being Tamar is doin the dam thang rite now. And instead of Tamar being stressed out over whos supporting her or not, they obviously dnt matter. Tae need 2 pay more attention 2 the peeps that r supporting her  & all of her dreams & accomplishments that shes made reality. We all got haters & you'll b surpised 2 find out that ur family was sum of ur biggest haters. It hurts but its life, I always say 2 peeps that hate on me & do sneaky, evil shit behind my back that is suppose 2 b detrimental 2 my livelyhood. After so many times in my life that Ive found out that the peeps that were suppose2b my biggest supporters, turned out 2b thee biggest haters. Being over the stress & tryin so hard 2 understand sumthin that was neva meant 4 me 2 find the answer. I seek within myself & thought, u know what? "Im now ok w/being those jealous ones & haters outlet, obviously 4 them 2 want such misery 4 another stranger whom u automatically hated because of their looks. Just shows that ur miserable & is goin through a troublesome time n ur life, or ur so insecure. That on the outside u pretend 2 hate me, but internally u see sumthin within me that u lack & wish 2 posses. But all the time that ur wasting on putting me down, I actually had been gaining more & more of the thing u lack, while u could bein workin on u & I culda been teaching u how 2b like me, but u gotta learn the hard way. And even though u try ur best 2 break me down, I actually owe u 4 helping me build even more strength & character, which ur getting worst (because us as people tend 2 worry 2 much on what others r lack in wen we could b working on ourselves. But because u helped me, I'll return the favor by holding the mirror up for you!

Celebrity Cribs: Peek Inside The $1.92 Million Hollyweird Home Where Chris Brown Chopped Rihanna And Karrueche! [Photos] -

Maybe Breezy really has had enough of livin’ the Hollywood life…

Chris Brown Puts Graffiti Laced Hollywood Home

Via Realtor

Christmas has come early for Chris Brown’s neighbors: It remains to be seen whether Brown is indeed Malibu bound, but the singer is definitely not long for the Hollywood Hills.

The troubled entertainer has officially put his home in the Hollywood Dell neighborhood of Los Angeles on the market. The listing comes after Brown clashed with fellow homeowners over a display of bizarre street art and murals that he had painted on the exterior of the property.

The murals are now gone, and Brown may be too. The Real Estalker was first to report news of the 24-year-old’s listing, which hit the MLS on Monday with a price tag of $1.92 million. Brown bought the house two years ago for $1.55 million.

Designed by architect Jay Vanos, the ultra-modern residence is certainly primed for a young Hollywood entertainer. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home spans 3,000 square feet and comes fully loaded with an elevator, custom LED lighting, high-end amenities and a host of luxury finishes.

As the Los Angeles Times notes, Brown’s residence sports an open-floor master bedroom that has a red standalone tub and a glass shower with massage features. Other highlights include a Baffi kitchen, an art studio, and a pool and spa with custom lighting, lap jets and a sand pit.

We’re sure the neighbors will pop bottles and hold a flash mob in the streets the day Chris finally moves.

The folks over at BallerAlert caught wind of some interesting photos of both T.I. and Tiny that will continue to fuel the rumors that the Hustle couple is headed for splitsville.

At this point, you have probably seen the reports that Tip and Tiny have allegedly been experiencing marriage trouble based on cryptic Instagram posts that make it appear that they are taking shots at each other.

While partying at an ATL club with Diddy, Ricky Rozay, Justin Bieber and the like, T.I. was photographed without the wedding ring that he often wears on his chain.

It’s not just him though, Tiny has also been seen not wearing the big azz rock that The Kang bought her.

What the hell is really up with these two??

One thing is for sure, whether they are having difficulty in their relationship or not, Tip does NOT want the mother of his children posting pics of her chubby cheeks on Instagram.

Video Emerges of Ray Rice Dragging Fiancee in Casino!

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice dragging his unconscious fiancee after allegedly uppercutting her in retaliation to her allegedly spitting on him. An eyewitness was quoted as saying Rice hit her "like he punched a guy, knocked [her] down and dragged her out of the elevator by her feet."

Baltimore Ravens baller Ray Rice was recently arrested for engaging in a domestic dispute at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ, on Saturday, February 15th.  At 2:51am Atlantic City Police arrived at Revel responding to report of a domestic dispute between Rice ad his fiance Janay A. Palmer.  The incident was described as a "very minor physical altercation," but a witness claimed that the altercation was actually a lot more serious.

In this sneak peek from part two of the Love & Hip Hop reunion, Amina admits that she knew she was one of many women that Peter ran around with, but she thought she was more special since Peter chose to marry her. Unfortunately for Amina, Peter still can’t shake his feelings for Tara, even now.

Bandmate Aubrey O'Day tells MTV News the group will be trying on some new hats (and maybe cowboy boots too?) on upcoming album.

After seeing them reunite at the 2013 VMAs and take on Miley Cyrus at their comeback concert, we're just biding our before the ladies of Danity Kanerelease some new music. So what exactly can we expect from the "Making the Band" alumnae?

"We're always urban pop, just vocally, we sound urban pop on everything that we do, but what we really wanted to do as artists this time, is not come back as, like, genre-based artists because so many people try to play to their genre or play to radio or play to something but their art fails because it's not a body of work, it's not a piece of somebody," bandmate Aubrey O'Day told MTV News. "So we really want to be able to go from, you know, touch Shannon's country roots, touch Andrea's Latin roots, touch R&B, touch pop, touch rock, but always continue our urban pop sound vocally with the blend of our voices."Some tracks the group already has in the works include "Rage," which "has more of a fun, Green Day rock type vibe and sound," and "All in a Day's Work," which is "like super urban radio."While the foursome haven't started thinking about collaborations for their new sound, Aubrey says there is a laundry list of people she'd love to work with."We are huge fans of Miguel; we are huge fans of Bruno [Mars]. There are so many amazing producers we would like to work with," she said. "And so many amazing rappers, one for us, a dream, would be Kendrick Lamar, we would love to work with him. We would love to have him on a Danity Kane record, produce a Danity Kane record, just be in the studio and like touch his energy, that would be great."

“I AM NOT THE FATHER OF THAT CHILD”: KORDELL STEWART SPEAKS ON PORSHA’S POSSIBLE PREGNANCY!

We told you a few days ago that rumors were swirling around about Porsha Williams of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame possibly being pregnant with her first child after she posted pics on Instagram with what appeared to be a growing baby bump. Fans of Williams congratulated her on social media and word got around, though she hasn’t confirmed or denied anything. One person speaking out to deny something is her ex-husband, Kordell Stewart. Of course, when it came out that she was possibly pregnant, many people assumed she became pregnant before the former couple’s divorce was official, which would be interesting considering Williams spoke out before about the trouble they had having a baby in the past. But according to Radar Online, he spoke on Atlanta’s 92.9 “The Game” radio show to deny that whatever child she is or isn’t having didn’t come from him. He set the record straight but kept things short and “sweet.”

“I am not the father of that child.”

That’s all he has to say these days I guess about the former Mrs. Kordell Stewart. But do you believe it? She did say that she had already started dating someone new (and well-known). And do you think she’s really with child based on recent photos? Talk about it below.

RIHANNA OFFERS TO PAY FOR FUNERAL OF TEEN FAN WHO WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED

Source: WENN

Rihanna’s navy is mourning the passing of one of their own. 14-year-old Thiago Sobral Valencia of Brazil was brutally stabbed to death by his inebriated stepfather. Thiago’s 9-year-old brother, Santos Junior Osvaldo, and mother, Vanessa Almeida Sobral were also killed during the gruesome attack. When Rihanna learned of Thiago’s passing, she took to Twitter with her condolences.

“R.I.P. To one of our fallen soldiers, brutally murdered yesterday in Brazil! 14 year old Thiago, will forever be in our hearts! #Navy,” she tweeted.

“Just learned that Thiago’s mother and sibling were also murder victims in the horrible and tragic turn of events! Dear God! #Navy#RIPThiago”

“Let’s send our support to his family and friends during this difficult time guys! #RIPThiago”

The “Monster” singer also offered to pay for Thiago’s funeral expenses. His biological father, Eronilton Santos, however, declined her offer.

“I was surprised that they’re concerned about it,” said Eronilton. “The representative said that it was a request from Rihanna herself, who wanted to offer all kinds of help.”

Though he wouldn’t allow her to pay for the funeral service, he did ask that she pay tribute to Thiago.

“They wanted to pay for the funeral, but I only asked if she would provide a tribute to him. The only thing I thought is that from heaven, where he is, he’s going to see this gesture. The impact of the message she posted about it on Twitter was huge.”

“He never went [to Rihanna's concert] because of the lack of money. Since last year, when he knew she would come to Brazil, he began to save money in a safe to be able to see her.”

How Does She Sound? Tatyana Ali Performs New Song “Wait For It” On Arsenio And Gets Mixed Reviews.

This week the beautiful Tatyana Ali performed her new song “Wait For It” on The Arsenio Hall Show and she was ready to step back into the music scene. What I remember of her singing back in the day were the few times she would try and step out and sing as Ashley Banks on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (remember “Make Up Your Mind“?). But as she reminded me and told Hall, she put out a few singles as a teenager, but this time around, at 35, she’s coming out with a sound all of her own and a new confidence:

“The last time I put music out I was 17 years old, it was a long time ago, my single was ‘Daydreamin’ and ‘Kiss The Sky’ so it’s been a really long time since I’ve done anything musically, but it’s also for the first time, I feel like I’m really able to be myself. So I’m also kinda saying hello to myself. On the EP cover, I’m facing myself its kind a reflection mirror image. The EP is five songs I put it put myself, totally independent independent not independent label independent, its like an introduction.”

She performed the song, which sounded like something reminiscent of an ’80s dance track, and danced around in a very unique costume with bows and glitter and cut-outs and everything. She looked great, but how did she sound?

Well, the reaction was kind of mixed. Some fans thought she did a great job and both looked and sounded good:

I love it! Let’s bring happy music back! I also admire the fact that she is creating her own lane and not trying to follow in path of most new artist today. Which are only a copy of the last.

I love this! she’s awesome. I still rock her first album every so often lol

Took me back to Tina Marie in the 80′s to 90′s. That’s a good thing.

For others, her vocals were a little too flat and it kind of made it hard to appreciate the performance:

She needs voice lessons…breath issues, power issues

The song sounds unfinished and Tatyana’s voice sounded flat, especially at the beginning. Maybe this just isn’t the right song for her or she had a sore throat. It’s all good. I love Tatyana and what she stands for.

I love her but that was terrible. Maybe the studio magic might spice it up a little. Till then ill wait for it.

Yeah…that was mediocre

I thought it wasn’t too bad, but there were some flat moments early in the performance. Once she warmed up, things fell into place. But what do you think? Check out the performance for yourself and share your thoughts.
