There will be no reunion show for Basketball Wives season five because Evelyn Lozada refuses to be in the same room with Tami Roman and Tasha Marbury.
From Hip Hollywood,
A source tells us exclusively that since filming wrapped Lozada has fallen out with both Marbury and Roman, and is now afraid that both ladies will air certain secrets involving her relationship with former husband Chad Johnson and new relationship with L.A. Dodger Carl Crawford during the reunion.
The source would not divulge what those “secrets” were, but did say Lozada was so adamant about not being involved in the reunion that she even told production that they could “sue her” if necessary.

Their Engaged!! Kanye and Kim Are Set to Wed
E! Online reports that Kanye, 36, rented out AT&T Park and proposed in front of the couple’s friends and family in an over-the-top ceremony on Kim’s 33rd birthday. Kanye got down on one knee and presented Kim with a 15-carat diamond ring by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, while a 50-piece orchestra played Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” and Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo, and Kanye’s “Knock You Down.”
A jumbo screen on the field flashed “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!” while fireworks lit up the night sky.
The stadium, home to the San Francisco Giants, was completely empty except for their closest family and friends, who poured out of the dugout and surprised Kim after she said yes.
Earlier in the evening, Kanye presented an award to Steve McQueen at the 17th Annual Hollywood Film Awards in L.A. before flying down up north for the surprise proposal.
Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, was overjoyed. “A match made in heaven!” she told E! News. “I am so happy for both of my kids, Kim and Kanye.”
In December, Kanye revealed to fans at a concert in Atlantic City that he and Kim were expecting their first child together. The couple welcomed daughter North West in June.
“She’s my joy, and she brought my new joy into the world,” Kanye said of Kim during his appearance on Jenner’s talk show.
This will be the first marriage for Kanye and third for Kim, who was previously married to Kris Humphries and Damon Thomas.

Throwback Video: Left Eye on “106 & Park” as Nina Signed to Death Row Records
I’m sure everyone tuned in to the ‘CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” tonight. I must say it was better than expected and depicted some very real events that happened during TLC’s tenure. A few events happened where Left Eye started to venture off in to more of a solo lane, and distanced herself from the group. One time in particular is when she appeared on “106 & Park” with Suge Knight and Kurupt under the moniker NINA, and appeared strange and in “another space” during the interview. A few months after her appearance she was killed in a car crash in Honduras. R.I.P Left Eye, you definitely was free-spirited individual.
Check out another clip from the GRAMMY’s when TLC exposed that they were broke.
Hip Hop Pioneers LL Cool J & NWA Nominated for 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
There was a time when hip-hop artists were on the fringes. Some even believed that the genre of music was just a trend. Now, some thirty-years later, not only is hip hop a contender in the music industry, some of its artists have a chance to achieve one of the greatest accolades in the music industry: induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The 2014 nominees include a stellar list of musicians who have changed the musical landscape, including rapper, turned actor, LL Cool J and one of the original gangsta-rap groups, N.W.A.
From Vibe:
“Many rap enthusiasts and scholars recognize the pivotal roles that both LL Cool J and N.W.A . made in making rap more mainstream. LL Cool J emerged as a solo rapper during the heyday of rap groups such as Run DMC and the Fat Boys. He was also one of the first rap artists to show a more sensitive side with his pseudo-ballad, “I Need Love.” The song propelled LL Cool J as a female fan favorite. Yet, with hits like, “Momma Said Knock You Out,” he still maintained his edge.
Similarly, NWA carved out a new genre that including more vulgar language, sεxually explicit references and a celebration of the vιolent culture that engrossed many inner cities during the late 1980s and early 1990s. They, almost single-handedly, ushered in a new generation of rap artists and lyrics that forever changed the genre. For better or for worse, they are recognized as pioneers.”
