Musician Says Diddy Stole One Of His Songs
Terrence Howard Says He Plans To Retire After ‘Empire’
TERRENCE HOWARD
While Terrence Howard’s present is very much a good thing, with the success of “Em- pire,” the actor’s future after his time on the show is over may make a few fans sad as he re- vealed his intent to retire.
“I want to give Lucious the rest that I have in this creative space, and then I want to raise my son,” Howard shared.
Howard’s good fortune with “Empire” comes amid a past filled with roles in noteworthy films on the big screen and an Oscar nomination. Yet, he ad- mits that, “I was never as fa- mousasafilmactorasIam now.”
As for whether he can wrap his head around the success and stellar ratings of “Empire,” Howard referenced his co-star Taraji P. Henson, saying, “Not really. I’m still trying to stay in the game with the Cookie Monster.”
For anyone wondering if there’s been beef with Henson and Howard, don’t worry. Ac- cording to him, there was “never a feud.
“The only feud we have is who’s going to get the weekend off, who’s going to work the lat- est on Friday”.
K Michelle To Get Butt Reduction
K. Michelle says she always had a big butt, but had her butt en- hanced. Now, she wants to go back to her normal size.
Diddy celebrated his 45th birthday by releasing a 13 track mixtape, ‘MMM’ (Money Makin’ Mitch). The mixtape has a list of features such as Wiz Khalifa, Future, Travis Scott, French Mon- tana and more. Now a musi- cian by the name of Devin Wade (@DevinWade) is claiming Diddy stole one of his tracks, “Money Makin,” for his “MMM” track featuring Fu- ture and King Los. The songs do sound alike! Say it ain’t so. Wade says he isn’t talking about suing or anything; he
DIDDY
says it’s just the news of the day.
Soul Singer Melanie Fiona Is Pregnant
K. Michelle is known for her voluptuous figure, but soon her backside will get a lot smaller.
In an interview with B. Scott, the singer and reality show star revealed she’s plan- ning on reducing the size of her backside, and surprisingly, her decision was made after a conversation with singer Tyrese. After much thought, she’s decided to slim her figure to be taken more seriously in her career.
She also explained another reason why she wants her orig-
inal shape back, to fit designer clothing.
“I can’t wear designer clothes. It’s always a problem when it comes to designers and like when they have to get stuff to fit my body. That’s one thing, I’ve always had a big butt. You can ask anyone in college (FAMU).”
Michelle said she en- hanced her body because she wanted that shape, but advises others to think about getting body modifications, and make sure you have the money to re- verse it if you change your mind.
Who knew?! Songstress Melanie Fiona is expecting! The singer, 32, and fellow
singer boyfriend, Jared Cot- ter, 34, will soon be proud parents and looking at the video posted to her IG an- nouncing the news, she’s very far along!
“The greatest power a per- son possesses is the power to choose. The only thing greater is being chosen. Thank you for choosing us. Jared and I are thrilled to become Parents. #IWantItAll #Motherhood #Love#ChooseHigher #Awake xo,” she captioned with the short clip.
MELANIE FIONA
Along with prepping for motherhood, Fiona is also currently prepping her next album Awake for a 2016 re- lease.
TLC Fans Slam Group For Kickstarter
John Legend Expands His Brand To Wine
John Legend introduces his wine Legend Vineyard Exclusive or LVE.
Funds And No Album
TLC’s promo to receive Kickstarter funds.
When you have a hot date, you put on some John Le- gend tunes to set the mood. Now you can step up the ro- mantic ante by incorporating some spirits by Mr. Legend, too!
The singer is expanding his market past music and step- ping into the vino business. Legend has partnered with Jean-Charles Boisset and Raymond Vineyards to create Legend Vineyard Exclusive or LVE.
According to the singer, the wine is “inspired by true love.”
He explains, “As with my music, I searched for the right collaborator, a vineyard whose pursuit of the perfect blend and standards of excellence equaled my own,” Legend said in a press release.
The soon-to-be-dad de- scribes the flavor of the two items in the collection (so far) as “seductive, rich, and com- plex.” The pricier option in the line is the Cabernet Sauvi- gnon, which goes for $85.00, and then the Napa Valley Chardonnay, which is priced at $45.00 per bottle.
Earlier this year, TLC an- nounced they were prepping their final album and went to Kickstarter to ask fans to fi- nancially be a part of it.
The group raised over $430,000 from fans eager to hear new music, including a $5000 donation from Katy Perry and $10,000 from New Kids on the Block (with whom they went on tour with this past spring).
Initially the project was due out in September 2015, and then it was changed to October 2015. Well, both months have
come and gone with no album in sight, and fans are getting (understandably) concerned. In September, the group up- dated their Kickstarter page, saying the release date has been pushed back to next year: “We are moving the album back to 2016, so that we will have more time to finish the record the TLC way.”
But fans are calling the group scammers for not deliv- ering on their promises...and their money. The outrage has spawned the new hashtag #TLCisGoingToJail- Party.
