Only one more episode left this season, and I, for one, am quite the happy camper about this. This season was absolutely painful to watch—let's hope that "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta" is infinitely better. So let's get to it: The night kicked off with Raqi apologizing to Tahiry, thereby keeping her promise to Joe so she could get him on her show. Seeing h...

The set of the "Love and Hip-Hop: New York" reunion show looked more like a WWE cage match yesterday, as Joe Budden and Consequence exchanged blows two times in the same night. The on-going beef between the two emcees spilled over into yesterday's taping of the show's reunion episode when Cons reportedly "smacked the shit" out of Budden in response to last month's heated excha

You ever notice how, in "real life," Angry Birds are all friends with each other, even though they have nothing in common but their hatred for one person? (That, and the claims that they have "haters," when they're not relevant enough–or make enough money– to have people to "hate" on them.) Such i...

I'm seriously convinced that Mona Scott-Young is in an underground bunker with Dick Cheney, waiting for the end of days to come, because as an end result of this ratchet mess of a show, there is no way that she would be allowed to live in peace were she ever to be found on the street...

After a week of being off the air (and we were thankfully in peace), “Love & Hip-Hop: New York” came back Monday with a fully loaded clip of fighting, drama, and hatred. At this point, it's fair to say that there is no love, and barely any hip-hop, on this show, unless you count Lore'l rapping about "poppin' til she's faded, Janis Joplin, and gettin' off like Johnnie Cochran." *rubs

This week's episode of "Love & Hip-Hop" proved that anyone can get into the music business...and anyone did. First up is Erica Mena. Now, the angriest of the Angry Birds certainly has a voice to yell...but that doesn't mean, of course, that this same voice can be used to sing a beautiful tune. Ye...
