Weekly Wrap-Up. 

It has been a crazy week with Television, Music and Celebrities. We will talk about our TOP 5 Crazy, Wacky, Weird Reactions to this week.

1. Khloe Kardashian Oh, Whaaaaa???? 
     Not one to take part in the DRAMA or Gossip, we have kept an open mind with no opinions on the Khloe Kardashian/Lamar Odom drama, however where there is smoke there must be fire because Khloe recently dropped Odom from her bio's and social network names. She proudly was an "Odom" since their 2009 marriage, even going as far as to tell her sisters "you are Kardashians but I am an Odom". Well, we will keep you updated on this and hope they are able to work it out; they make such a cute couple. On a complete sidenote- Isn't Khloe looking totally gorgeous as of late? Yesssss.



2. Drake - Nothing Was The Same released. 


     Drakes highly anticipated third album dropped this week and it is probably his best effort to date. I felt a slight loss of passion when he released "Take Care", it almost felt too rushed and impersonal. I was hoping he would redeem himself with this release and he surely did. It gives you everything you need. Very solid album. If you need a non-single to judge if you'll like it, allow me to suggest "From Time (featuring Jhene` Aiko)". I promise you will be hooked; Drake and Jhene` compliment each other and this collabo is LIFE personified. Yes.




3. Rihanna vs. Teyana Taylor. 


     This week saw singer/cyber bully extraordinaire, Rihanna meet her match. She threw shade in the wrong direction this week when her hair stylist mimicked a performance of Teyana singing "Caught Up In The Rapture" by Anita Baker. Things took a turn for the worse when Teyana made her background on twitter a mocked photo of the 2 boxing, using Rihanna's infamous photo after the domestic violence incident that occurred in 2009. The tweets and the situation has since died down a little but when a fan tweeted Teyana asking why she removed her tweets, she stated only because her mother asked her to and she stands behind them still. We'll see how this one plays out?



4. Evelyn Lozada not returning to BBW 5?!?!?


     Evelyn is doing a promo tour for Youth20 and stated in an interview she only signed on for 5 seasons and would not be returning if there is a season 6 but is "open to reality television" just not BBW. If she takes the Nene Leakes approach, she will be back with a pay raise. Let us not forget that Nene has not been returning for 3 seasons now, yet is still on RHOA. We'll see... 




5. BIG DIVA?!?!? 


     We will end this post on the oversized head, Dora The Explorer looking mascot for the weave bar that Tasha Marbury is investing in? Some things need no words; this is one of them.  But on a brief sidenote- The looks on the ladies faces when Big Diva showed up was priceless.
