Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen have finalized their divorce over THREE years after Larsa’s 2018 filing.

According to Us Weekly reports, after the duo’s lawyers attended a virtual hearing on Wednesday, January 5, attorney David J. Glass told Us in a statement:

“I can confirm that Scottie and Larsa Pippen are now divorced, and that the divorce was finalized on December 15, 2021. All issues were resolved amicably. The parties are now focusing successfully coparenting their remaining minor children.”

The tabloid confirmed in August 2021 that a stipulated judgment had been submitted in the case, signaling that both Larsa, 47, and Scottie, 56, agreed to terms. At the time, a judge still needed to sign off on the judgment in order for the proceedings to become final.

Larsa and Scottie were wed in 1997 and share four children, Scotty Jr., born in 2000, is currently a star basketball player at Vanderbilt. Their son Preston (born in 2002) graduated from Sierra Canyon High School last year. Y’all will likely recognize the school’s name for it’s notoriety for showcasing elite prep basketball talent. The couple welcomed their son Justin in 2005 and daughter Sophia in 2008. She actually just celebrated a birthday on December 26.

Scottie originally filed for divorce in 2016, amid rumors of an affair with Future as well as reports that Scottie had been unfaithful. The pair briefly reconciled

before Larsa filed for divorce once more in November 2018. Larsa denied rumors that she was unfaithful, but over the last five years Larsa has regularly been in BOSSIP headlines over questionable relationships with Malik Beasley and Tristan Thompson as well as a notable fallout with the Kardashian family.

Relationship drama has been a hot topic for the “Real Housewives of Miami” star. During a December 2021 episode of Real Housewives Of Miam, Larsa told her costar Lisa Hochstein that the six time NBA champ had criticized Beasley in a text message.

“When Malik got 90 days or something in jail he sent it to me,” Larsa said. “He’s like, ‘Go ahead, keep talking to these losers.’”

Welp… It’s interesting that Larsa posted a clip from RHOM right around the time the split was finalized where she talks about being single now.

Just this week Larsa tweeted, “What did u leave behind in 2021? I left behind all the haters.”

Welp! We hope that this signals an end to a lot of the drama for the Pippen family. We definitely hope they’re keeping things amicable for the sake of those kids.

Our preview clip features the Simmons sisters Vanessa and Angela as well as Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell’s daughter Cree, spending some quality time as Angela Simmons packs up for a move to Atlanta. Of course Vanessa and Cree can’t resist asking Ang if she’ll be reuniting with Bow Wow, but Cree has an even better idea — what if she sets Angela up on a blind date?

Check out the clip below:

On the OG side, JoJo Hailey of Jodeci fame and Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs’N’Harmony are both joining the GUHH cast along with Jo Jo’s son Devin Hailey and daughter Sakoya Winter, who also happens to be Layzie’s mentee. Sakoya is encouraged by her OGs to build a bridge between herself and the others. Will the attempts work in her favor? Or will the crew’s loyalty to each other leave her outside of the circle?

Angela’s move to Atlanta plays a big part of the plot this season, as well as plans to freeze her eggs for future babies. The abrupt move leads Vanessa Simmons, to once again, question Angela’s decision making. Jojo Simmons and Tanice face unexpected marital woes after the birth of their son and are challenged to find the spark in their relationship. Will this couple get back on the same page? Or will their fears of a second baby leading them to divorce come true?

Meanwhile Tahira “Tee Tee” Francis is feeling overwhelmed when her fiancé Shawn Rogers shows little to no interest in planning their nuptials, as they scramble to finalize plans and make it across the aisle. Egypt Criss and Sam’s bubble of love bursts when Sam’s legal troubles threaten to separate them for over a decade. Tyran encourages Sandra “Pepa’ Denton to get more involved with him and Egypt’s lives. Meanwhile, Treach and wife Cicely step up to steer Egypt closer to her dreams of stardom.

Cree Campbell continues to work on her relationship with her father Uncle Luke while navigating the challenges of wanting to become a mother one day. Eric “Lil Eazy-E” Wright Jr. displeasure with his father’s documentary leads to an unexpected one-on-one with an OG. The stakes are raised when run-ins with the law lead to changes in behavior and possible jail time for Sam, Briana and Twist. Will the crew lean on the advice of their OGs and continue their families’ alliances? Or will disagreements create irreconcilable cracks in their connections?

Tonight is premiere night for the three hugely successful wedding planners starting on VH1’s new series “My Celebrity Dream Wedding.”

Courtney Ajinça, Lance Devereux and Tori Williams are each incredible event planners in their own right, but on their new series “My Celebrity Dream Wedding,” the trio come together like Voltron to transform basic budgets into mindblowing marriage ceremonies, styled after some of the most extravagant celebrity weddings we’ve ever seen. Check out the trailer below:

BOSSIP’s Sr. Content Director Janeé Bolden spoke with Courtney, Lance and Tori ahead of premiere night to learn a little more about what to expect from this brand new show.

After getting a sneak peek at the first episode, we had so much fun watching the three planners at work that we couldn’t help but wonder whether their relationship was a result of doing the show together or if the show was the result of them having a great relationship!

“I would say it’s a combination of both. Lance and I have known each other for about five years now,” Courtney told BOSSIP. “We worked together and collaborated on events together and then we met Tori, it was like instant chemistry. We all just kind of got along instantly and it flowed from the moment we met each other we knew it was perfect.”

“I would agree,” Tori chimed in. “They knew each other first, but we met when we were doing the chemistry test in L.A. The chemistry was amazing between the three of us. You would have thought we’d known each other for years. On top of that we’re all Scorpios!”

On each episode, Courtney, Lance and Tori meet a new deserving couple who share their vision for their dream wedding, inspired by a lavish celebrity ceremony. After listening to the couple’s wants and hearing the budget they’ve prepared to pay, the three Atlanta-based elite wedding planners pitch their plans to the lucky couple. After hearing all three plans, the brides select their favorite planner to lead the production of their wedding, while the others are demoted to assistant status. The planners then collaborate to execute everything from the dream ceremony to the show-stopping reception.

Wedding planning during the pandemic has made for some pretty drastic shifts for couples who planned to tie the knot in 2020 and 2021, but the “My Celebrity Dream Wedding” squad say these tough times have simply called for a lot of creativity and flexibility and ultimately they’ve come to embrace many of the changes wrought in the COVID era.

“I’m all about the micro-weddings,”Lance told BOSSIP. “This time has given us the opportunity to show people that just because you can’t have as many people as you originally wanted doesn’t mean the event can’t be just as fabulous. It also doesn’t mean the love can’t be greater. Sometimes when there are a smaller number of people in the room, the love is stronger because it’s more intimate, there is a deeper connection, so I think in some ways it’s elevated couple’s experience. When it comes to the show, we’re on a tight whip, when it comes to COVID precautions and keeping everyone safe.”

“VH1 and Entertainment One have done such a great job of making sure that we’re protected as well as the couples and their guests, with testing and mask wearing, so that’s something I’m definitely planning to implement going forward with my weddings,” Courtney added.

On “My Celebrity Dream Wedding,” viewers will learn tips to plan a million-dollar wedding for a fraction of the price. The series’ lavish weddings are inspired by celebrities such as Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade, Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas, NeNe & Gregg Leakes, Chance the Rapper & Kirsten Corley, and more, with a twist.

“We also have a couple more Housewives that we’re going to be featuring on the show,” Courtney teased, “You’re going to have to stay tuned because there’s a lot more in store this season.”

“We pretty much get along as far as us, we’re human, we do bump heads every now and again, but we love and respect one another, and it’s not about us anyway, it’s about the brides,” Tori told BOSSIP. “The drama comes in trying to pull off these million dollar weddings with these limited budgets, you’ll see me doing a lot of yelling and cussing because I’m not exceptionally happy with a lot of these budgets but we find a way to make it work at the end of the day.”

For all the couples out there who weren’t able to get picked for “My Celebrity Dream Wedding” the planners said the biggest tip they could offer couples looking to cut wedding costs is to whittle their guest lists as leanly as possible.

“People don’t really understand the more guests you have the more expensive your wedding will be,” Courtney told BOSSIP. “Like Lance was saying, the micro-weddings, you’ll get more bang for your buck but when people come in wanting 150-200 guests you’re not going to have as big of an impact with your decor, it’s going to have to go into food and other items to make sure that your wedding goes off without a hitch.”

That’s great advice, how many folks will follow it though?

Tune in to Vh1 at 9pm EST for the premiere of “My Celebrity Dream Wedding”.

Trey Songz aka “Mr. Steal Your Girl” is back in the news again and this time he’s being accused of rape by a former University of Las Vegas women’s basketball star.

Dylan Gonzalez who is now of the New Orleans Gators, tweeted, “Trey Songz is a rapist. Lord forgive me I couldn’t hold that in another year. See you in 2022.”

Sure enough her comments, retweets, and likes were flooded with users commenting on the accusation. Most people replying to Dylan simply said “We believe you and stand with you.”

Gonzalez did not specify whether she personally was a victim, but we all know this is not the first time Trey has been accused of sexual assault.

Gonzalez rose to athletic fame playing basketball, more recently college hoops for the UNLV Rebels alongside her twin sister Dakota. In September, the Gonzalez twins signed to the New Orleans Gators, Percy “Master P” Miller’s team which is part of a global mixed-gender league, according to GMGB. Gonzalez is also an aspiring music artist.

This time last year Trey Songz was accused of sexual assault by a woman who attended a New Year’s Eve party at Diddy’s home on Miami’s Star Island and he recently faced another sexual assault claim last November that allegedly took place at The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.

KeKe Palmer also shared a disturbing story about Songz in 2017 when she appeared on The Breakfast Club. During her interview, she spoke about her split from Trey Songz and accused him of “sexual intimidation” for tricking her into being in the “Pick Up The Phone” music video while they were at a party. Palmer explained she had to hide in a closet to avoid being filmed and was berated by Songz.

Many people dismissed and ignored KeKe’s concerns until Celina Powell came forth and filed charges against Songz. KeKe said it herself, “So many times black women say stuff and no one gives a shit but somebody of a different complexion, different color say something and then it’s like we’re taking them to court! It’s time to get serious, #metoo.”

Trey responded to the accusations from Powell in a series of tweets.

“I usually stay quiet on this, but I feel that in many ways the movement to fight for the women who actually have suffered harassment and abuse on various levels, has been hijacked by those who find it convenient for themselves to come up as they seek to destroy someone’s life,” he wrote.

On December 20, Jauhara Jeffries – who attended Diddy’s aforementioned NYE party — filed suit against Songz in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida. Jeffries claimed she stayed at the party for a couple of hours before calling for a ride-sharing service to take her and some friends to the E11EVEN nightclub. Songz, who she said appeared intoxicated, allegedly overheard the conversation and said they could ride with him instead, per TheDailyBeast.

Jeffries and her friend stated, once they arrived in the private section at the club they were violated with his fingers and Jeffries reportedly sought out $10 million. In April, he reached a settlement with the alleged victim, TheDailyBeast adds.

Trey nor his management team haven’t responded to the latest accusation but social media continues to weigh in.

Listen Omicron has been heavy in these streets and Omarion is tired of feeling the heat.

This weekend Omarion shared video clip of a drop he recorded for the “New Year’s Rockin Eve” special where he addressed the confusion between his name and the COVID variant. In a clip that shared two similar versions of the drop O made sure to clarify that he’s actually an entertainer — not a virus:

“What up New Year’s Rockin Eve!” Omarion said in one take,” It’s Omarion. Now I know there has been a lot of confusion on the internet recently so my lawyers wanted me to read this:

I Omarion am a musician and an entertainer, you knew that, not a viral variant. I’ve been getting a lot of DM’s, don’t be disrespectful, okay? The last time I had to do this was in 2000 when everyone confused Y2K with B2K, that’s ain’t how it’s supposed to be. No but seriously that ain’t how it’s supposed to be.”

Check out the video below:

We love it that he can laugh at the situation BUT at the same time it’s got to be getting old to him by now. You know Omarion is gonna be relieved when Omicron lets up.

Nobody wants a new variant — but Omarion might actually be relieved when there is one!

What did you think of Omarion’s video?
