In Case You Missed It: ‘Basketball Wives: LA’, Ep 11
In last night’s episode, the BBWLA cast are still vacationing in Hawaii. The ladies are tired of Jackie Christie’s hypocritical back stabbing, so they take a vote and decide to kick troublemaker Jackie off the island — or at least away from them. “We feel like at this point, collectively, you need to go,” Laura Govan tells her.
But Jackie doesn’t go quietly. She feels betrayed by her friends, Gloria Govan and Draya Face. Jackie seeks comfort in the arms of her loyal husband Doug, “I AM the island!,” she tells him. “I’ve been here, done that sh*t, sixteen, seventeen years! You little punks is new to this and I’m true to this. You all wanna be Jackie Christie!!” Doug nods his head and offers advice, but he is careful not to talk over his wife who has the upper hand in their marriage. Jackie and Doug switched roles a long time ago. It’s an arrangement that works best for them because it fits their unique personalities. Doug is the meek, quiet, submissive partner, while Jackie is dominant in their Folie à deux relationship (“madness shared by two”).
In Case You Missed It: Basketball Wives: LA, Ep 10
Last night’s episode of VH1′s ‘Basketball Wives: LA’ was all about Jackie Christie. The ladies departed for a relaxing trip to Hawaii (on VH1′s dime), so you know that means Jackie had to ratchet up the drama (to make the trip worthwhile).
First, Jackie and Gloria Govan have at each other. Then Jackie and Laura Govan go at it. All the while, Draya is in Jackie’s corner nodding and co-signing everything Jackie says because, to her, it’s just a paycheck, and without it she’d be swinging from a pole while her son puts another frozen dinner in the microwave.

Morning Wood: Jason Momoa
This is not the first time that Lisa Bonet’s sexy actor husband Jason Momoa has made our Morning Wood section. The 6 ft former model turned heads while vacationing in his native Hawaii with his 43-year-old wife over the weekend. Jason spent the day paddle boarding in the waves off Hawaii’s beautiful beaches. Once out of the water, he carried the large paddle board over his shoulder like it weighed a feather. Jason and Lisa have two children together, a daughter, Lola Iolani Momoa, 4, and a son, Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa, who turns 3 in December. Lisa has a grown daughter, Zoe Kravitz, by singer Lenny Kravitz.
Beyonce pokes her tummy out in Croatia
Beyonce was spotted on a beach in Croatia poking her tummy out for the paparazzi. I’ve never seen a supposedly 4 months pregnant woman who looks like she swallowed a belly full of air. Give it up, Bey!
fanMAIL: Beyoncé faking pregnancy, is she?
A loyal reader wrote in to inquire about Beyoncé’s disappearing baby bump:
Hi,
I came across a picture on Bossip.com of beyonce for her birthday in Italy this past weekend. I find it funny that her bump doesn’t show in this picture. Is she really preggers…?
Morning Wood & Morning Glory: Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union
Good morning! Today we decided to combine Morning Wood & Morning Glory posts for you ladies and gents. We hope you and your family are enjoying your Labor Day weekend. Here in Atlanta it’s a cloudy 75 degrees with a 60% chance of thunderstorms. It’s not a good day for BBQs or hitting the beach. Fortunately, the weather in Miami was beautiful for 38-year-old Cougar Gabrielle Union, who spent quality time with her boy toy, NBA star Dwayne Wade, 29, and his two sons, Zaire, 9, and Zion, 4, along with their young friends during a family outing on Miami beach on Sunday. Wade won full custody of his sons following a bitter child custody battle with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. The couple divorced in 2007.
Gabby wore a string bikini with the word HEAT emblazoned on her backside. Wade plays for the struggling Miami Heat who suffered an embarrassing loss in the 2011 NBA Finals to the lowly Dallas Mavericks. But things will be much different in 2012 if the owners ever come to an agreement and lift the NBA lockout.
Ladies, watch your girlfriends around your men. Especially if she can never keep a man for herself. Always remember — unless she is a lesbian — she is your competition. She is paying close attention to your every move. She’s taking notes and positioning herself to take advantage of your mistakes. Watch her!
Update: according to a loyal reader, the woman pictured above with D. Wade and Gabby is actress Essence Atkins, who was accompanied by her husband, Jaime Mendez, whom she met on Match.com (thanks blkmiami!). But my advice still stands: watch those thirsty chicks around your man.

Photo of the Day: Kim and Kris Kardashian
We know from that classic sex tape with her e-boyfriend Ray J that Kim Kardashian can easily handle a man of any size. But this photo of newlyweds Kris and Kim Kardashian dry humping near the pool of their hotel in Italy is totally confusing. Where are her legs?
As you know, Kim and Kris tied the knot on Saturday in an over-the-top wedding that was extravagant even by Hollywood standards. The lovebirds will wrap up their honeymoon this weekend and fly back to New York where they plan to attend another wedding reception for themselves thrown by a friend.
