2016 has come and gone and now we are almost done with our first week of the new year!! R.I.P to all that we lost in 2016, including Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, and George Micheal to name a few.

2017 has brought additions as well, big congrats to Janet Jackson and her husband, Wissam Al Mana for welcoming their first son, Eissa Al Mana.  Janet is 50 years old.

Pink also added a special addition to her family.  She gave birth to Jameson Moon Hart December 26, 2016. Pink and husband Carey Hart already has a daughter.

It did not take long for drama to ensue in the first week of 2017.  Our favorite shit starter Chris Brown has been embroiled in “Twitter/IG beef” apparently with Soulja Boy for liking one of Karreuche Tran’s pictures on Instagram.  As we all know Karreuche is the ex-girlfriend of Chris.

It did not stop there, when Karreuche added her 2 cents, Chris went in on her:

Chris still has no chill!!

Big drama and controversy also ensued when gospel great Kim Burrell went on a tirade  attacking the LGBT community in a sermon that she preached, which also took aim at Bishop Eddie Long.

In the fiery sermon Kim tells the congregation,

“I came to tell you about sin. That sin nature. That perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women, and it’s caused us pain on the body of Christ.”

“You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted… You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast, you are perverted.”

“Watching Bishop Eddie Long go down to nothing is an embarrassment to the church.”

“Nobody would be thinking that you had aids if a homosexual man didn’t come out and reveal what you did behind closed doors.”

Kim Burrell was scheduled to appear on The Ellen Degeneres Show along with Pharrell to perform their song ‘I See a Victory’ from the Hidden Figures soundtrack.  However, Ellen confirmed via Twitter that Ms. Burrell would not be performing.

Controversy is still brewing about Mariah Carey’s ill-fated New Year’s Eve performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Both sides have been going back and forth pointing the finger with Mariah ultimately feeling “sabotaged” by the Dick Clark’s production team.  Now Mariah has fired creative-director Anthony Burrell from her team confirmed by E! News.
