Scrawberry Notes: Phaedra Parks Blogs About Kim, NeNe & Race Relations

While Sunday’s episode edited our four day excursion into a 45 minute fiasco, it did not fully encompass how tense and uncomfortable this girls’ getaway truly was. The trip was planned in Cynthia’s honor but as the old adage says, “Things don’t always work out as planned.”

Comedian and best-selling author, Steve Harvey, has found himself in a controversial bind when Mary Harvey, ex-wife, posted a series of three YouTube videos totaling in 25 minutes last weekend. In her videos she claims he was unfaithful during their 17-year-marriage, took her wealth, took custody of their thirteen-year-old son, Wynton, and includes excerpts of letters and e-mails she said she intercepted between Harvey and his current wife, Marjorie.

Scrawberry Notes: What It Tweef? 50 Cent vs. CiCi

I'd say 50 got the one up this time.

Although Ciara and 50 Cent’s relationship has always been a worst-kept secret, they took to Twitter to throw some subliminal blows yesterday evening. Seems as though Ciara’s subtweet was triggered by 50′s new interest to pursue a name in the pimp game. (#WhenCrackingJokesGoesWrong)
