Love and Hip Hop Producer Denies Show Is Scripted

Posted on by

I don’t know about you, but for me Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is  just a ratchet version of All My Children. Now LHHA producer Mona Scott-Young ruins the illusion by disputing long standing rumors that the show is scripted.

Mona tells MTV Rap Fix Live,

“We don’t feed you information. It’s not scripted. That’s the most ridiculous thing that I hear all the time. There are like 40-something people on set. Do you think I can get them all to keep the secret? What do they do with script afterwards, eat it? This is their lives!”

and as for the notion she’s promoting negative images Mona says,

“[These people] have every right to tell their stories. I think they’re valid stories, and judging by the numbers, they’re stories that people want to see and hear about. But if this is not your cup of tea, there are other great shows on other networks that you may view as well.”

Beyonce Steps Out in NYC with an Uncovered Blue Ivy

Posted on by

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten a glimpse of Blue Ivy Carter. Well, to be precise, since we’ve seen her little feet, since her parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z are always careful to keep her face covered.  Beyonce and Blue were spotted out at Bergdorf Goodman NYC this afternoon.  It is definitely too hot to be wrapped up in blankets, so I’m glad Blue got a chance to take in some air.
