Yes we can say that these two are a mess and they need to get it together,

however how relatable is Love & Hip Hops Joe Budden and Tahiry Jose’s

situation? A situation that was once a relationship that got messy and public

and for whatever reason in this seasons last episode of #LHH they are trying

to make it work. We have all had that someone that we couldn’t shake. 

From a woman’s stand point, for some of us getting over that one can be difficult.

The factors being time spent, that person being a comfort zone and the hurt of

course of the split with unresolved issues can be trying. In a lot of ways getting

over it is easier said then done. We can most definitely see that on screen as

Tahiry’s reaction to Joe and their 5-year relationship and break up plays out.

But someway somehow they can’t seem to let go of each other because through

the negative there is a past, a comfort and a friendship.

We as viewers can pass judgment but honestly we’ve been there. Even down to

Joe making an effort to move onto yet another girlfriend, Kaylin. It still doesn’t

take away from his need for Tahiry. As messy as it may seem, current girlfriend

vs “That Old Girlfriend” (the one who got away maybe?) –in real life the battle

between past and present always plays out. Unfortunately someone’s going to get

hurt. All in all these things are the lessons in love. So can we say they need to get

over it and move on? Yes. But we all know its not always that simple. Maybe this

spin on Joe & Tahiry’s relationship is for TV or maybe there really is a connection

and the show has brought them back together. Either way we see this everyday,

the point is can it work or can you put in the work to see it through? Only time

can tell for those two as well as us regular folks over here.

Let the ratchetness ensue! If last season of LHHA was any indication

that producer Mona Scott Young got a good bunch on her hands then

this season will definitely have everyone glued to the screen!

There will be more antics from the Stevie J love triangle. The  self

proclaimed baddest bitch Joeseline will be back, but I think everyone

is aware she’s riding this bus all the way. Mimi has a new boyfriend,

Niko, and for her sake lets hope it will switch up the foolery between

her and Stevie. 

The fights will be the highlights this season of course. Mama Dee and

Ericka will have it out as per usual, down to blows though? This will be

messy! Rasheeda and this anger towards K. Michelle still is dragging

the story line. Why they’ve brought back Rasheeda and Kurt is beyond

me.  However this season will introduce two new cast members Atlanta’s

Dj Traci Steele from 107.9 radio station and Chavonte Che’ Mack,

Stevie J’s tattered “protege.” Let the craziness return to a new high. 

Love and Hip Hop Season 2 will air April 22 at 8pm on VH1.

Didn’t see this one coming! The Houston family along with Bobby

Kristina are doing their reality show for Lifetime ‘The Houstons: On

Our Own.” Not seven months after the late Whitney Houston’s passing,

the family embark on a journey with dealing with the aftermath and

focusing on Bobby Kristina her career, being the sole heir to Whitney’s

estate as well as her very interesting personal life with god brother turned

fiancé. The show which airs on October 24th will feature the lives of Whitney’s

brother Gary Houston, sister-in-law/manager/guardian of BK, Pat Houston,

her daughter Rayah, mom Cissy Houston as well as BK’s boo Nick Gordon.

Well here is a sneak peak below- I must say thus far it seems interesting to

say the least. Who will be watching?

Considering that I am three days behind covering this story, in my defense

as much of a fan of Evelyn Lozada as I was, I didn’t want to hear her side

of the story at first. I felt this is Kim & Kris all over again. These reality

stars taking the sanctity of Love and Marriage and making a pure mockery

of it for ratings disgusts me! However finally taking the time to watch the

interview I began to feel like Evelyn is learning from her ways and change is

definitely evident here. I totally understand her not wanting to continue

her marriage with Chad ‘Ocho Cinco’ Johnson as well and you can see the

hurt she’s going through. In her defense of the media spiral and people said

she deserved what she got, she compared it to that of rape victim -I definitely

sympathize here. Nobody deserves to be abused in any form. See Evelyn’s 

interview below, weigh in.
