Lee Daniels Proclaims He is Not Tyler Perry, Dammit!

*Attention everyone: Lee Daniels is not Tyler Perry.
Daniels made that fact abundantly clear while speaking to students at a lecture at Ohio State University not too long ago.
Daniels emphasized that while he and Perry make films for and about African-Americans, both men are two different people.
“My mom said, ‘I don’t understand you, everybody in church thinks something’s wrong with you — all your movies are about freaks. Why can’t you do movies like Tyler Perry?,” said Daniels, whose films include “Monsters Ball,” “Precious,” “The Paperboy,” “Shadowboxer” and “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.”

Jennifer Lopez Taught Kerry Washington How To Dance

*Kerry Washington learned how to shake what her mama gave her thanks to one of the greatest movers and shakers in Hollywood today — Jenny from the block.

That’s right! Back in her days with the Bronx Boys and Girls Club, Jennifer Lopez taught Washington how to pop, lock and drop it.

“We had this amazing dance teacher, Larry, and Jennifer actually used to substitute teach when Larry wasn’t around,” Washington said during a recent interview with Yahoo.

She added, “you wouldn’t know it from my build, but Jennifer taught me how to dance. And I remember when she left the Boys club because she was leaving New York to go to LA to try and make it big and we were all like, “Oh my gosh.”

Although Washington missed out at her chances at being a “Fly Girl,” she’s one of the most popular acclaimed actresses on TV thanks to “Scandal.”

And not only that, but she’s pretty hot on the red carpet too, but believe it or not, even Kerry Washington has some insecurities.

“I tend to think about those moments on the red carpet as being a character called the “red carpet Kerry.” I try to step into that. I don’t mean deny the fear—I don’t deny my feelings on a bad day—but I kind of try to invite myself to shift into something else to pull it together.”

She added, “you don’t have to handle things alone, you can reach out and get help from close friends and family. Sometimes I try to imagine, “Well what would I do if Mother Theresa showed up at my door right now?” I would pull it together! What if Michelle Obama called me right now? I would pull it together. And not to deny who I am, but to sort of go, “OK, how can I dig deep and get in my stronger self in this moment.”

Nick Cannon And Amber Rose Seen At DSTRKT #Nightclub In London

Recently minted “business partners” Amber Rose and Nick Cannon were seen dressed to impress at DSTRKT nightclub in London for a night of bottle-poppin’ and twerking. We know how Nick gets down, but hopefully Amber was the only one backin’ that azz up.

Looks as if Nick is serious about getting his new client on the road for appearances and keeping her mind on work as opposed to the dirty dog ways of her piff-puffin’ soon-to-be ex-husband Wiz Khalifa. We’re sure that Amber and Nick are providing each other a great deal of support while they each go through difficult public divorces.

What To Say To Your Ex To Get Him Back

The male ego is fragile at best. On the outside males try to portray themselves as together and strong. The truth is, they also have needs and emotions which are often damaged in #relationships and when they have a nasty break up. For this reason, it is important to know what to say to your ex to get him back (that is if you want to get back together with him).

Here are a few pointers:

Admit you are wrong, say you are sorry

Men want to be right. If you want to open, their ears tell him you were wrong. Whether it was in ending the relationship, cheating on him or taking him for granted. Let him know you were wrong. Maybe you were spending too much money on clothes, hanging out with the girls, maybe you were being too clingy. If so, let him know in words you were wrong and he was right.

It's Independence Day!!!

Happy Independence fellow Nigerians... Be safe and have fun!!!
