Stevie J Is Suing Joseline For Defamation
Stevie J and his ex Joseline.
Joseline Hernandez has found herself in some more legal drama. The pregnant “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star is being sued by her ex and fel- low VH1 co-star, Stevie J. Ac- cording to a report, the lawsuit is over wild accusations Jose- line made accusing Stevie of molesting his daughter.
TMZ reported Monday that Stevie filed a defamation suit against Joseline claiming that she’s running a “smear cam- paign” and his reputation has been ruined because of her publicly accusing him of inap- propriately touching his 6-year- old daughter Eva, whom he shares with fellow “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Mimi Faust.
In his defamation suit, Ste- vie J also stated that Joseline has accused him of being gay and a devil-worshipper, which damaged his reputation and “exposed him to public hatred and ridicule.” The music pro- ducer is suing for damages and wanted a judge to stop Jose- line for making similar state- ments, which could further damage his image.
Stevie J was given a re- straining order in July to keep Joseline at least 200 feet away from him.

HBO was the original home of the series when it premiered in 1983, and the digitally re- mastered version will return at the end year on the internet TV network, the Jim Henson Com- pany said.
Fraggle Rock stars a cast of puppet creatures called Frag- gles, quirky cave-dwellers who live in an underground world alongside their industrious
green neighbors, the Doozers, and a family of enormous Gorgs.
The series follows the fun ad- ventures of the furry subter- ranean creatures and features a unique mix of music from all genres including folk, blues, gospel, country and rock, all while embracing themes of friendship, tolerance, diversity, and caring for the planet.
John Legend’s Get Lifted Film Co. has partnered with Bron Studios and Tonik Pro- ductions to co-produce and fi- nance the contemporary drama Monster, based on the novel by Walter Dean Myers.
The film stars Oscar winner
Jennifer Hudson, A$AP Rocky, Nas and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
The film centers on Steve Harmon (Harrison), a 17-
year-old honor student and as- piring filmmaker who prose- cutors deem a “monster” after being charged with felony murder for a crime he says he did not commit. As Steve’s world comes crashing down around him, we witness his journey from a smart, likable young man from Harlem at- tending an elite high school through a complex legal battle that could leave him spending the rest of his life in prison

Nicki Minaj covers the No- vember issue of Marie Claire to share why collaborating with Beyonce on music was a move she made to help inspire young girls and women.
Bey and Nicki made music magic with the release of “Flaw- less (Remix),” a cut off of the Houston mega-star’s self-titled album and the Hit-Boy-pro- duced “Feelin’ Myself,” off Nick’s The Pinkprint project.
“Every time Bey and I do something together, I see how women are inspired, and it has nothing to do with how we look,” she says. “It has to do with how we are owning who we are and telling other women you should be the boss of your own career and the brains behind your life or your decisions or your art. I just love that feeling.” When it comes to gaining inspi- ration from Queen Bey and
