"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne may be dealing with her husband's legal troubles, but it looks like she's got some troubles of her own. She's like the poster-child for legal problems. Erika has been accused by hip-hop duo L'Trimm of ripping off their 1988 hit "Cars That Go Boom." Erika's 2018 song "Cars" features a chorus of "I like the cars, the cars that go boom," which is very similar to L'Trimm's chorus of, "We like the cars, the cars that go boom." Bandmember Lady Tigra told The Sun, "Erika never reached out to either of us, and we haven't seen a penny for it, of course. She never even bothered to shout out L'Trimm or tag us or anything." So far, the two haven't said if they're going to pursue it in court, the courts that go boom.

We can call Zoe Kravitz "The Girl with the Many Tattoos." She reportedly has at least 56, but even she doesn't know because she lost count. "I hardly see them anymore because I am so used to them," she told InStyle. The majority of her tats are on her arms and hands, but she's also got ink on her neck, feet, and behind her ear. "There are some I like more than others," she admitted, adding, "I have gotten a few removed, but I plan on getting more tattoos. Once you're into it, it's hard to stop." Well, if you get to the point where the only place left to tattoo is the inside of your nostril or an eyeball, that's when you know you have too many.

"Real Housewives" news…
Production for Season 14 of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is on hold, according to radaronline.com. Filming usually takes place over the summer but has reportedly been pushed back to October. Casting seems to be the main issue. Season 13 had the lowest ratings in RHOA history. The current cast features Porsha Williams, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, and newcomer Drew Sidora in starring roles. During Season 13, viewers were also introduced to "friends" LaToya Ali and Falynn Guobadia, and OG "friend" Marlo Hampton. There's talk that Porscha may not film the next season because she is currently filming an eight-episode spinoff series expected to focus on her engagement to Falynn's ex-husband, Simon Guobadia. There's also talk that Cynthia might not he asks back because of her high salary and consistently weak storylines. She could be demoted to "friend" or simply fired. Falynn has already stated she will not return, and LaToya is reportedly not coming back, either. No word on where Drew stands.
"Real Housewives All-Stars" is reportedly already getting a second season (the first season airs in November) and the show is allegedly set to start to film this September. The second season will reportedly revolve around an East coast housewife.
And, fans who have been left disappointed after Bravocon 2021 was cancelled due to the on-going Coronavirus pandemic. As OK! previously reported, the network announced on Monday that the event that was supposed to take place October 15 to 17 in New York City is no longer happening.
Dr. Dre's 38-year-old daughter, LaTanya, has started a GoFundMe and is asking for $50,000 to help her get off the streets since Dre will no longer help her, according to Radar. At last check, the page only had eight donors after three days with only $300 raised. I feel like there's more to the backstory we must not be getting. Despite being angry with her for talking to the press, wouldn't you think he'd still help her or even just his grandkids? Even the woman who lied about being the mom to three girls that weren't hers still got thousands because people felt bad for her situation or that she felt she had to lie to help her situation.
"Respect" may have finished filming, but Jennifer Hudson says that even though she's no longer portraying Aretha Franklin, she is "still with me, almost every day in some way." Jennifer explained, "Sometimes, while taking pictures with someone, I'm like, 'Oh wow, I'm smiling like Aretha' or, 'That response was more Aretha-like.'... You identify little things like that in yourself that are still there." She also said, "A lot of my own personal wardrobe now is things that resemble things that she would wear — a lot of fluffy, furry little jackets with leopard prints and things like that that helped me embody her character at times." But that's not all. Jennifer said, "And I still do the piano [after learning it for the film]. I'm still trying to master it. Guess what? The song I can play the best, so far, is 'Natural Woman.' I'm going to do it for you one day." "Respect" is in theaters now. Read more with variety.com.

Jamie Spears has agreed it's time to step down as conservator of Britney's estate and says he wants to work with the court on an orderly transition, according to TMZ. To be clear though, Jamie's lawyer says this isn't an admission of fault or agreement. He said in a statement, "There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate ... and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears' best interests. Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests. So, even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter's new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator." Brit's lawyer says this doesn't mean they're not still going after Jamie legally. A source said they plan to continue a "vigorous investigation" into Jamie's conduct, suggesting, "he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter's estate."
Kelly Clarkson's prenup has been validated by the judge in her divorce case and according to TMZ, she found out while she was on the set of "The Voice" and let out a scream. The prenup separates all assets and income from during her marriage to Brandon Blackstock. Most of it came from Kelly, including the Montana ranch where Brandon is currently living. He was contesting the prenup and wanted their properties split, along with income she earned during their marriage, but the judge sided with Kelly and her lawyer who pointed out that a prenup is a contract, and contracts are meant to be upheld. Kelly is also planning to go back to her maiden name as well. And another cherry for her, her good bud Blake Shelton dropped Brandon as his manager.
Bill Cosby is set to appear against another one of his accusers in court, but he's got nothing to say.

"Candyman" is almost here, with the film set to be released on August 27th after being delayed three times from an original June 2020 anticipated release. Tony Todd, the original star of "Candyman," is back as Candyman. Hopefully, he made a sweet deal when it came to his contract this time. Tony said it was worth getting a few stings during the bee scene in the original 1992 movie because he actually profited from it. He said, "I negotiated a bonus of $1,000 for every sting during the bee scene. I got stung 23 times." Well, you know what they say, "no pain, no gain."
