Tea TV: Basketball Wives Season 2 Episodes 1 - 6

Wife or girlfriend of a pro basketball superstar may have its perks, but once you peel away the bling and first-class luxuries, the glitzy glamour train often jumps way off the rails. Season 2 is one scorching summer in Miami fans will never forget!

Just like season 1 on Basketball Wives, we'll follow the extraordinary lives of Royce, Jen, Evelyn, Suzie and even a few new faces. Joining the inner circle is former The Real World star and basketball ex Tami Roman, who joins old friend Shaunie O'Neal, who herself is checking into beautiful Miami for her first single summer in years.

Last season set out to prove that these women, who've spent years being married to larger-than-life personalities, are really just the same as everyone else. Viewers watched them cope with marriages on the rocks, divorces, single motherhood and rough patches in their relationships just like those experienced by women all over America.

Season two finds our ladies facing down old issues and new alike, with even more dramatic outbursts and heart-rending emotional moments than before.

Episode 1

In the sizzling season two premiere, Evelyn draws the line with Susie over unchecked gossip about a hot weekend in Vegas. Also, Shaunie's attempt to bring Kenny Anderson's controversial ex, Tami, into the circle is met with skepticism. And just when you thought it couldn't get tenser, the episode ends with a shocking surprise.

Fallout over Suzie and Evelyn's argument has Suzie on the run to an unexpected source....GLORIA! Also, Tami reintroduces her daughters to father Kenny Anderson after many years apart.

Episode 4

When Evelyn and Jen finds themselves left off the guest list of a posh fundraiser thrown by circle outsider Ashley Walker, they decide to crash the event. Tempers flare when Tami and Jen get into it over a seemingly innocuous remark.

Episode 5

Dwayne with a fashion fundraiser. Also, Tami has some surgery done, helping her to lose pounds and setting the stage to gain a friend. Evelyn and Jen regret volunteering to help Royce and her man.

Episode 6

Janelle Monáe is shaping up to have a busy summer. The Wondaland recording artist has been tapped as the opening act for six dates on the North American leg of Katy Perry's "California Dreams" tour, coming right on the heels of her co-headlining "Hooligans in Wondaland" trek with Bruno Mars.

She rejoins with Perry on August 19 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena before completing her tour duties at St. Louis' Scottrade Center on August 20.

During their time on the road, the pair will visit Houston, Chicago, San Francisco and more. The cross-country jaunt wraps up at Phoenix's Comerica Theatre on June 15.

Mashonda Makes Peace With Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys

The smoke has cleared in the aftermath of R&B singer Mashonda's divorce from Swizz Beatz. After publicly blasting Alicia Keys for ruining her marriage to Swizz, the upcoming star of the VH1 reality show 'Love and Hip-Hop' has written an open letter to the happy couple, making peace with the pair and accepting their nuptials.

"It took some time, but I now realize that even my former husband and his new wife, are my partners in this wonderful journey," wrote Mashonda. "When I look into Kasseem's eyes, I see the joy in his heart by having such a wonderful, blended family that loves him so much. As this blended family of ours continues to grow, I look forward to the months and years ahead raising our children together as one."

The drama began in September 2009, following her split from Swizz, who was believed to have had an affair with Keys while they were still married. She penned an open letter to Keys following a Twitter beef, sharing just how hurt she was. "You have no idea how much pain I was caused because of this affair," she explained. "It's baffling to me that you don't understand what I might have gone through with this situation. I don't consider myself a victim anymore, I've learned a lot from this."

She continued firing shots in the following months, claiming that the two were "meant for each other" and blaming Keys for ruining their marriage. Now that she's let it go, Mashonda is focusing on 'Love and Hip-Hop,' which co-stars Fabolous' girlfriend Kimberly Bustamante, Jim Jones' girlfriend Christine "Chrissy" Lampkin, Olivia and Somaya Reese.

Rihanna Partners With UNICEF for Celebrity Tap Project

Rihanna has partnered with UNICEF in support of the non-profit organization's Tap Project, which aims to educate consumers about the scarcity of clean drinking water for almost 900 billion people worldwide.

The Tap Project was launched in New York City in 2007, and other celebrity participants in the current campaign include Dwight Howard, Taylor Swift, Adrian Grenier, Selena Gomez and Robin Williams. Each celeb will have their own unique tap water bottles--engraved with their faces--which fans have a chance to win with a $5 donation. Prizewinners will receive the collectors' bottles, along with a carrying case called the Ultimate Deluxe Celebrity Tap Pack.

The Celebrity Tap project is intended to help drive public donations for clean water funding worldwide. According to UNICEF, waterborne illnesses are the second-highest cause of death for children around the world. Visit tapproject.org to participate.

Porn Company Offers to Halt Release of Usher Sex Tape

Earlier this week, news broke of an alleged sex tape featuring Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Raymond, but if one porn company gets their way, the video will never be released.

TMZ reports that Vivid Entertainment is looking to stop the tape from being distributed. Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch sent a letter to the 32-year-old crooner offering his service to put the kibosh on the tape, which he claims to have done for other celebs in the same predicament.

"We've learned that a sex video of you and your ex-wife is making its way around the adult industry," reads the letter. "As a result of this being an intimate and very personal tape we can certainly understand why you would want to stop its distribution. We may therefore be able [to] assist you in stopping your own video from any type of circulation."

Although Usher has remained mum about the tape, his ex-wife has spoken out, first denying that a tape even exists, and later took to her Twitter page to brush the whole thing off. "NEWSFLASH!! BREAKING NEWS! GUESS WHAT??!! ??? I have copulated w/my husband! O_O. Why is this news again?? #ConfusedTweet. End of discussion," she wrote.

The former couple was married in 2007, against the wishes of Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton. After two years and two young sons, Usher and Tameka called it quits, finalizing their divorce in 2009.

No word yet if Usher will take Vivid up on their offer.

Justin Bieber's Wax Figure Unveiling at Madame Tussauds in New York City, London and Amsterdam

Justin Bieber's wax statues are here! Three statues were unveiled at Madame Tussauds wax museums around the world, in New York, Amsterdam and London. Bieber was on hand in London to catch a glimpse of his wax likeness. And, as promised, the statues feature Bieber's old, swooping hairstyle. At the London unveiling, Bieber tweeted about how excited he was for the wax statues. "Arrived at @tussaudslondon to see my WAX figure!! the 1st time i saw a wax figure was in nyc and all we could do was look thru the glass," he wrote. "Now we are here in London and they r about to show my figure here and in amsterdam and in nyc at the one we looked thru the glass. #DREAMBIG."

Bieber's statue in New York is featured alongside his pal and mentor Usher in the VIP room. The NYC Bieber statue is wearing a black vest by will.i.am and pants by Balenciaga. The clothes were donated by Bieber himself.

"I'm honored to be getting my own wax figures," Bieber previously said about joining fellow pop stars like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers at Madame Tussauds. "To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols — Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyoncé and my mentor, Usher — is incredibly exciting and very cool."

Evelyn Lozada Says "Basketball Wives" Producers Betrayed Her, So She's Quitting The Show

After last Sunday's explosive season finale of "Basketball Wives" Evelyn Lozada says she's quitting the show.
On this last Sunday's season finale of "Basketball Wives" Evelyn Lozada had a fight with castmate Tami Roman after Evelyn revealed she slept with Tami's ex, Kenny Anderson, while the two were married.  I have to give it to Shaunie O'Neal and the producers, I never saw that coming.  But now sources close to Evelyn say she wants to leave the show.
The sources told TMZ that Evelyn felt betrayed by the producers, whom she says stirred up a confrontation with a fellow castmember, by revealing details of an illicit affair.  Apparently Evelyn sent producers an email  saying she wants to leave the show.
Or...it could be a way to increase her salary.  Who wouldn't tune in next season to see her and Tami try to make amends?

Photo: Britney Spears On The Set Of New Video 'Til The World Ends'

Britney Spears‘ new single “Till The World Ends” begs to be danced to, and the pop star is obliging in its music video.
Brit Brit offered up the first photo from day one on the set of the Ray Kay-directed clip via her Twitter account. Looking sick and sexified with her stockings ripped all up the sides, Brit is shown in the shot relaxing with a bottle of Vitamin Water after working up a sweat dancing. “Just wrapped my first big dance number,” she wrote. “Taking a well deserved break people!”
Here’s hoping we actually get to see Brit dance in this clip, unlike the rapid cutaways that interrupted (or hid, depending on if you ask a fan or hater) the dancing in the “Hold It Against Me” video
