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.

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

Like too many single women, loneliness overcame her and food became her companion and as she admitted, her only source of pleasure. MORE
