THIS WEEK
Charlamagne Slams EJ Johnson Over Rihanna Snub. Popular radio host and media personality Charlamagne Tha God recently unleashed on Magic Johnson‘s child, EJ Johnson, for throwing shade at Rihanna following the Paris Fashion Week.
On an episode of “The Brilliant Ideas” podcast, Charlamagne told his co-host, Andrew Schulz, that EJ, who rose to fame on the E! reality show “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills,” was out of order for his earlier comment about Rihanna. As the episode continued, the “Breakfast Club” host said EJ Johnson wasn’t on the same level. Charlamagne has never been one to bite his tongue, said that EJ went too far with his comments
.“EJ, now EJ, you know I love you, but you got to know your limitations,” Charlamagne said, implying that EJ should know better than to criticize certain stars. “There’s certain thrones you can’t throw rocks at, EJ, and Rihanna’s one of them.” Charlamagne’s comments come days after EJ’s vlog about his time at the Dior fashion show went viral. In the clip, EJ said they loved the show but hated that Rihanna made it start late.

“I’ll Never Marry
Again Because…”
by John Mazen
When a friend recently got married, I felt sorry for him. I know he didn’t know what he was doing because it was his first time. But I had been there and done that…and had vowed to never do it again. In my opinion, it takes a certain kind of man to be married, to put up with all the stuff that goes with sharing a house with a woman MORE

Chosen: When It’s Her
Instead Of You….
Makayla Cole
I was having dinner with some friends when suddenly I was overcome by an uncontrollable flood of tears. My tears were attributed to a recent breakup with a live-in boyfriend, who announced to me on my birthday that he was moving out and marrying another woman. After I saw a photo of her, I couldn’t understand why he changed his mind about never marrying. he was the exact opposite of me physically. For starters, she was overweight and I was physically svelte. Through my sobs, I kept repeating the question, “What did she have that I didn’t?” MORE

Q. I want to break up with my girlfriend, but I don’t know how without sounding deceitful and low-down. The problem is when we first started out, both of us expressed a strong commitment to being honest in a relationship, but at this time I know I can’t because I don’t want to crush her. I am also not prepared for her insistent questions about why. I have fallen in love with someone else, and I simply can’t tell her the truth. I just want to walk away and leave her to speculate, but my conscience won’t let me. Any suggestions?. MORE

An Inside Look
At The Male Mind
by Chelsea Katlan
Many single women think that what men want out of a relationship is radically different from what they hope for. “He just wants to date around,” “He’s looking to have fun, period,” and “Why does he say one thing and do another?” are the kinds of comments they often make. But the opposite sexes are very much alike when it comes to love if you know how to read between the lines, says Greg Gilderman, author of the book, She’s the One: The Surprising Truth about What Makes a Woman a Keeper. In this interview, he reveals what men look for in a woman—and how you can use this info to your advantage! MORE

Janie: “I liked him up to the point, when he took off his shoes upon entering my home, which he did reluctantly, and had a hole in his sock. To me, when a man gets dressed to go out with a hole in his sock, it says a lot about his self-esteem.” Aaron: “The classic line I ever heard was when I walked in on my girlfriend snooping through the drawer in my bedroom, and she claimed that she was looking for something to sew for me, like an old sock. I never trusted her after that. A woman who could lie so glibly was not the woman for me.” MORE

Dating Your Best
Friend’s Ex?
by Dani Stone
When a friend confessed that her new secret lover was the ex-fiance of one of our best friends, I was shocked. We had all been close since high school, and I couldn’t believe it. We were at lunch when she whispered as if someone else might be listening, that she had been dating him for the last eight months, and hadn’t told a soul. The three of us were the kind of friends who shared almost everything, especially our romantic lives, and we trusted each other implicitly. MORE
