Sneak Peek: Braxton Family Values, Ep 12, Caught Red Handed
In tonight’s dramatic episode of WEtv’s Braxton Family Values, Trina Braxton and her estranged husband, Gabe Solis, tackle his infidelities during an emotional therapy session with TV Dr. Sherry.
“I caught Gabe red handedly acting inappropriately on a social network site with a female that he knew,” explained Trina.
Gabe’s cheating ways came to light on Twitter.com when a woman tweeted photos of him exposing himself on Skype.
But when it was Gabe’s turn to speak, he avoided the issue of exposing himself online.
In typical canine behavior, Gabe blamed the other woman for tempting him with a bone. “I took the bait,” he said. Gabe has since deleted his Twitter page.
Although he remains in denial about his voyeuristic behavior, Gabe did admit to Dr. Sherry that he didn’t do what a married man should have done.
In an interview last month, Trina, who has children from a previous relationship, revealed that she and Gabe separated a year ago. Their Johns Creek, GA home is still on the market.
Watch the sneak peek of tonight’s episode after the break.
New Birth Crowns Bishop Eddie Long as King
Some of you may recall that disgraced preacher Eddie Long stepped down from his position as spiritual leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church late last year. His stated goal was to focus on his family — in particular, his long-suffering wife who is divorcing him.
Well, Bishop Long is back in the pulpit. And he returned in typical dramatic fashion.
New Birth brought in a controversial “Rabbi” to crown Long as King in an elaborate Jewish ceremony using 300-year-old sacred scrolls that were found discarded outside a concentration camp in Germany in the 1940s.
I wonder how the Jews feel about this?
Update I, 4:45 pm ET: according to this blog, the “Rabbi” isn’t even Jewish and the 300-year-old “Jewish scrolls” are fake:
In Case You Missed It: The Game, Episode 5 (Full video)
In last night’s episode of BET’s The Game, Derwin (Pooch Hall) convinces Melanie (Tia Mowry) to sit in the back of the church with the “regular people” rather than in the church’s VIP section. But Melanie disagrees: “The back of the church is no different from the back of the plane,” she says. “We write big checks for that kind of treatment.”
But Derwin gets his way and they both get a big dosage of reality while sitting in the back of the church.
D’Angelo is Back – and He’s Still Hawt (Video)
Remember when your mom and aunty used to lose their minds over D’Angelo back in the day? It wasn’t just his smooth vocals that made the ladies lose it, it was his hard, beefcake bod too! There was no doubt about it; D’Angelo was a good looking man. Plus, he had the confidence to go with his dashing good looks — or so we thought…
It turns out that D’Angelo, real name Michael Archer, wasn’t emotionally equipped to handle his growing fame. D’Angelo mistakenly believed his music was not appreciated by his fans as much as his hawt bod was. So, like most artists who lose their focus, D’Angelo dropped out of the music scene. Paralyzed with self-doubt, he neglected his music and turned to a life of drugs and alcohol abuse.
Along the way, D’Angelo, now 37, was arrested for drug possession and DUI’s. He did a stint in drug rehab in 2006. And on Mar. 10, 2010, he was arrested for soliciting oral sex from a female undercover officer in New York City.
But despite his many setbacks, the old D’Angelo made a triumphant return to the stage during a performance in Paris, France over the weekend. Watch the performance after the break!
In Case You Missed It: Real Housewives of Atlanta, Ep 12
In last night’s episode of Bravo’s Fake Housewives of Atlanta, the crew (except Kim Zolciak) traveled to South Africa. Kandi and the rest of the cast pretended not to know that new cast member, Marlo Hampton, would be riding shotgun on the trip. As soon as they arrive in the Motherland, Marlo and original cast member Sheree Whitfield promptly begin to argue on cue. You could almost hear the director yelling “cut!” between takes. It’s obvious that Marlo is replacing NeNe Leakes as the loud mouth, ghetto antagonist, just as NeNe replaced Sheree Whitfield as the aggressor in season 2. NeNe is probably tired of playing the gangsta role, so the producers brought Marlo in to play that role.
And just so you don’t forget, the script calls for cast members to repeatedly mention the fact that Marlo “has a criminal past.” But the public is growing wary of the constant bickering and the staged fights. The ratings for RHOA are steadily dropping and the show trails behind Kourtney and Kim take NY for the 4th straight week.
In Case You Missed It: Braxton Family Values, Ep 11
Last night on ‘Braxton Family Values,’ the sisters meet with their therapist Dr. Sherry to discuss their emotional conflicts with each other. Toni Braxton irked her sister Traci’s Soul by suggesting that Traci lose “20 to 30 lbs now. And stop thinking that her tummy sticking out like that is hot, ’cause it’s not.”
Toni added: “You’re too cute of a girl not to care about… to let herself go like that.” Toni also said Traci’s tummy wasn’t always like that “so that lets me think she’s comfortable.”
The nerve of Toni to decide when another woman is comfortable with her body when Toni is sooo uncomfortable in her own skin!
Toni was extremely insensitive to suggest that her sister Traci lose weight to fit Toni’s jacked up standard of beauty. Toni, with 20 lbs of weave on her head and a face that is surgically altered beyond recognition, is not so perfect herself! Isn’t it funny that people who think they are so perfect always see their flaws in others but not in themselves?
Clearly, Traci is happy and comfortable with her weight — which upsets her sisters who hate the fact that Traci accepts her beauty. Traci probably has no problems keeping a man, unlike her thin sisters who think they’re so perfect.
I realize that this is just a reality show, but Toni irked me with that comment. I’m shocked that Towanda (the more level headed sister) didn’t speak up for Traci. And what kind of therapist is Dr. Sherry to day Toni was “just being honest”?
Dr. Sherry should have turned that mirror back toward Toni so she could see the hurt in herself. Because only hurt people hurt others.
Snoop to Kris Humphries: ‘You shouldn’t have tried to wife the b*tch!’
Rapper-turned-comedian Snoop Dogg gives sound advice to hopeless romantic Kris Humphries, who followed his heart — and not his brains — when he married narcissist Kim Kardashian in a made-for-TV wedding last year.
It’s not entirely Kris’ fault. It’s a holdover from evolutionary days that some men lose all common sense when they are in the presence of a pretty woman.
In another video making the rounds on the Internet yesterday, rapper Young Jeezy, weighed in by saying he would rather die than marry a Kardashian. We’re sure he meant Kim, not Khloe.
