…please keep these enlightening words by Mitt Romney in mind:

The gap between his [Obama] promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ‘til death do we part.

We all know what happened the last time Obama was compared to a fake celebrity.

We also know that President Obama is not a fan of the Kardashians.

Way to go Romney.

Yall know I’m not fond of the “famous for no reason” crowd, but apparently this is a big deal.

Read the story here. I’m not writing about it.

But I will say that this doesn’t surprise me. Not one bit. Ok I’m done.

I usually try to avoid stories about the “Famous for no reason” crowd, but i applaud this honest interview.

Let me start by saying that I’ve never been a fan of this show. I tried to watch one episode a while back and the fact that none of them were married to a NBA player at the time of airing made me feel like the show’s title was misleading and defeated the purpose. The term “Wife” was used VERY loosely, and that Royce chick just bothered me.

But, I know a few people who enjoy Basketball Wives, and the show had parlayed its way into popular culture, so here you go.

In an interview the show’s creator, star, and former wife of Shaquille O’Neal Shaunie admits that she is not proud of what the show has become.

According to Bossip, O’Neal gave an Interview to Fox 411’s PopTarts column stating the following:

I never imagined it would be a group of ladies fighting and arguing that way that they do. That was never part of the plan.

I hate that it has to be a fight or an argument that gives us 4.2 million viewers. I hate that, but it’s something where I’m working as hard as I can to show some type of balance, because it is there. We do know how to act, we do charity work. I would love a little more balance and we’re going to try to do more of that in season 4.

And when asked about the upcoming Los Angeles edition of the show, which also has her name on it:

I feel like that show, from what I hear in certain production calls and stuff like that, is turning into ‘I have slept with a basketball player at some point of time in my life, so now I’m on Basketball Wives’. That’s definitely not what I brought to the table and not what I would be proud of having my name on. I think that’s a whole different show that I wouldn’t produce.

O’Neal says that she won’t even let her own kids watch the show.

Her show is feeding into the who “Famous for No Reason” phenomenon that has been taking over TV, radio, and the internet for a few years now. This type of stuff needs to end, in my opinion.

It was reported over the weekend that Nadya Suleman, nicknamed “Octomom” for successfully giving birth to octuplets back in 2009, gave an interview to In Touch magazine saying that she hated her babies and that her older 6 children were animals.

Well today, Suleman is claiming that the story was fabricated and she never even gave an interview to In Touch, according to a statement the mother of 14 gave to TMZ.

Suleman is reportedly “furious” over the article and says:

I hardly have 30 seconds to go to the restroom, I could never lock my self in the bathroom for hours. I Love ALL my children, I do not regret them and it’s ridiculous that I have to continue to defend myself against these disgusting fabricated lies.

We’ll wait and see how this plays out. I’m sure In Touch is going to claim they conducted the interview.

Originally, Nadya Suleman gained media attention for being the first woman to successfully give birth to octuplets in the US back in January 2009. But after it was discovered that she already had 6 children out of wedlock and all 14 of her children were created from in-vitro fertilization without a father present to assist in raising them as well as her unemployment status, possible obsession with Angelina Jolie, and the fact that she was only 31 at the time, she came under extreme scrutiny and was given the nickname “Octomom” by the media.

Recently, it has been reported that the mother of 14 stated her dislike and ‘disgust’ for her children in an interview with In Touch magazine. She is quotes as saying:

I hate babies, they disgust me.

My older six are animals, getting more and more out of control, because I have no time to properly discipline them.

Obviously, I love them - but I absolutely wish I had not had them.

SMH.

I honestly feel bad for her kids, and I always have. She has been trying her hardest to make money to support herself and her kids, but she really had no business having them in the first place. I was even more upset when she blamed the fact that she had no siblings growing up as her reason behind wanting so many children. I’m an only child too and you don’t see me rushing to have an army of children.

This woman needs psychological help.

If you have been on the internet these past few days, you might have came across some people talking about some inappropriate photos of model famous for no real reason what does she do again? Kanye West’s ex Amber Rose.

MediaTakeOut.com posted the photos with an article claiming Rose sent them toNicki Minaj’s ex boyfriend while the two were still together.

After the Crimson Chin and everyone else on the internet ripped Rose, she too to her Twitter account to lay the rumors to rest.

I was gonna wait until my radio show to address this but I want to say this now. I trusted someone that worked 4 me & allowed them to use my laptop a million times, I caught this person sending my pics to themselves and I fired this person immediately Wiz & I & both of our families have known about this for 2 months now. We tried to prepare ourselves for this day. Those pictures r 2 1/2 years old just sitting in my computer. I’m really hurt & embarr#!@%*#ed because I have so many young girls that look up to me. I would never put those pics out of myself.

Rose also explained how the photo scandal harmed her “career”:

The company that I was working with no longer wants to work with me because of these pics and that prevents me from getting money to take care of my family. Its a messed up situation when someone so evil comes into ur life and tries to destroy it. I know I’m not the only girl in the world that has taken pics like that but they were very private. 

Her now claim to fame boyfriend Wiz Khalifa also felt the need to defend hisjumpoff woman via Twitter:

Everyday I Wake Up Next To The Most Beautiful Wife. And Bake Up To The Most Beautiful Life

Minaj also Tweeted her frustration over the situation denying that Rose sent them to her former boyfriend.

*Sighs*

I really wanted to like Rose when she was with West. I was happy that she got a contract with Ford Models because her look was so different and she is beautiful, but after she lost Yeezy and the contract with Ford, I saw no purpose for her. I wanted to see her become a successful high fashion model. *Sighs*

Stop smoking for 3 seconds Wiz and WAKE UP! I know you heard “The Blame Game.”
