Jennifer Williams didn’t have the best exit on Basketball Wives. Not only did she manage to get into a nasty beef with once close friend Evelyn Lozada, but the feud also ended up getting physical. Jennifer got slapped on national television by one of Evelyn’s girl friends, and luckily for Jennifer, security was able to stop Evelyn from joining in on the attack after she jumped on top of the table to get her licks in. Jennifer ended up pressing charges against Evelyn’s friend but later dropped them in an attempt to make some kind of peace with Evelyn. Although Evelyn and Jennifer hugged it out at the reunion, Jennifer confirmed that things will never be the same for their friendship. Months later it was confirmed that Jennifer was fired from Basketball Wives.

Since her exit from Basketball Wives, Jennifer has managed to keep herself quite busy. She has a new man in her life, a new endorsement deal with Shine ‘n Jam hair products, and she’s even working hard to make her lip gloss line Lucid a household name. But now reports suggest Jennifer might make a return to reality television; and it looks like she even though she might be done with Shaunie O’Neal, she’s still managed to grab the attention of fellow reality television queen and entrepreneur Mona Scott-Young, the creator of the Love and Hip Hop franchise. VH1 reports:

It came as a shock to many when word got out that Jenn wouldn’t return to the fifth season of Basketball Wives. Arguably the only “real” Basketball Wife, many revered Jenn for her class and maturity on screen. When asked about her departure she simply stated, “It wasn’t for me anymore.” But does that mean she’s over television, too? Lucky for us, Jenn revealed she’s in talks with Scott-Young to create a reality show of her own, embodying the philosophy that when one door closes, another surely opens. A glimpse into her new business ventures with Lucid Cosmetics, or her relationship with new boo Cisco Rosado (who happens to be the founder of CMG entertainment) could work, especially if we see another side of Jenn– the “real” her, and we aren’t talking about Drake songs.

Reality television is used by most as a platform that is supposed to eventually lead to much bigger opportunities. And so far most reality stars are working hard to make that happen. NeNe Leakes has used Real Housewives of Atlanta to become a real actress, and newcomer K. Michelle used Love and Hip Hop Atlanta to get her R&B career in motion, she now has a record deal and is even working on her debut studio album. Evelyn Lozada has managed to get a makeup line and book series thanks to her Basketball Wives stardom, and Tami Roman is acting and racking up endorsements in weight loss. Jennifer Williams may no longer be on Basketball Wives, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have opportunities.

Jennifer isn’t just trying her hand at a line of lip gloss (Lucid) these days. It was recently confirmed that Jennifer will be the new spokeswoman of Shine ‘n Jam by Ampro products.

In a statement, Jennifer says:

“I am extremely excited and honored to become the new face of Ampro’s Shine ‘n Jam line. Ampro is a family oriented company and they have welcomed me with love. The Ampro brand has always been a staple in the hair care market and the Shine ‘n Jam- Silk Edges has become my favorite. It is great for fly-always and keeping my edges silky so I am always red carpet ready! I look forward to my future and my journey with this amazing company. Stay tuned!”

Congrats to Jennifer.

In related news, J.R. Smith has also nabbed an endorsement. J.R. Smith is now a spokesperson for SK Energy. SK Energy is an energy shot that was founded by 50 Cent and the brand is fighting against world hunger. Regarding the new sponsorship, J.R. tells ESPN:

“It’s a great thing to be a part of, especially with helping kids and homeless kids as well. It actually helps my game a lot, too — to come out and get energized, and hopefully protect our home Garden court. I use it during practice if I’m feeling sluggish. It definitely gives me that boost to go out there and perform. If not, Coach [Mike] Woodson is definitely going to be on me.”

 

J.R. Smith joins fellow celebrities and athletes Joan Rivers, Pauly D, Wes Welker, and Miles Austin in endorsing the brand.

Congrats to J.R. Smith.

Does Jennifer Williams have a new man? If the reality star’s tweets are any kind of indication, Jennifer has officially moved on from her estranged husband Eric Williams. For the last couple of months, Jennifer Williams has been tweeting about her new man. While she has never officially revealed who he was, many speculated for a short time that it was Terrell Owens after the two were photographed shopping at the same place. However, Jennifer Williams took to her Twitter account to set the record straight and told her followers that she and Terrell were not dating, and she’s not even his type.

Well it appears that the identity of Jennifer Williams’ new man has finally been revealed. And according to the New York Daily News, it is none other than CMG Entertainment CEO Cisco Rosado. CMG Entertainment is said to be an entertainment and booking company that specializes in the urban entertainment market.

Apparently the couple walked into an event last night holding hands. The report also claims that Jennifer has a record deal and is recording her first studio album, Whispers suggest that Jennifer is planning to rap and sing, but that hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. Here’s the report from the New York Daily News:

“Former Basketball Wife Jennifer Williams went one on one with CMG Entertainment CEO Cisco Rosado on Thursday at the “Love & Hip Hop” season three premiere at Meatpacking District club Kiss & Fly. According to our spies, the pair walked in holding hands and that “she looked gorgeous.” Shortly before midnight, Williams tweeted “Ohhh what a night?????” Williams, who’s separated from former Net forward Eric Williams, is said to be recording her debut album. Her reps didn’t return calls.”

 

We’ve been researching a little about Jennifer’s new man and much doesn’t come up. From the looks of things, he’s very low-key and prefers to run his company without being flashy. That’s interesting considering Jennifer mentioned a few months ago that those are the qualities she needed from a man in her next relationship.

In related news, it’s still being reported that Jennifer Williams will not be returning to Basketball Wives. But we did hear that Jennifer and Evelyn are cordial these days although they still aren’t as close as they were before the big blow up.

Royce Reed may no longer be on Basketball Wives anymore, but that doesn’t mean her life still doesn’t consist of a bit of controversy and drama. Her love life in itself has been a rather rocky one, with her last public relationship with NFL wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe ending in a cheating scandal that pretty much consisted mostly of Twitter rants and angry groupies. Although Royce recently hinted that she was back on with Briscoe, it looks like she might be attracting the attention of a messy ex husband and retired NBA player. Eric Williams, the ex husband to Royce’s former cast member on Basketball Wives Jennifer Williams, overstepped his boundaries the other day when he flirted with her on Twitter.

Apparently, he’s quite smitten with Royce’s new Avi:

He compliments her and then appears to make passes at her. Peep the exchange:

Eric has a reputation of being vindictive on Twitter, so for all we know, he probably was just attempting to once again get under Jennifer Williams’ skin. He surely tried to when the whole thing went down between Chad and Evelyn, and then again when he aired all their divorce issues on Twitter to upset her.

In related news, Royce is allegedly requesting that her NBA ex Dwight Howard pay for her legal fees in the nasty custody battle the two have been engaged in for quite some time over their son. TMZ claims the fees are over $100 K.

jennifer williams twitter beef

A Jennifer Williams Twitter beef is usually rare. And that’s because the reality television star of Basketball Wives usually keeps it cute and classy on her Twitter account, despite the ongoing rumors of who she’s dating and her estranged husband Eric Williams’ despicable Twitter antics. Jennifer Williams usually dodges any Twitter beef, but every now and then she falls for the bait, and it’s usually at the hands of her former husband. Eric Williams is no stranger to blasting Jennifer on the social network, as he recently blasted Jennifer and Evelyn Lozada after Chad Johnson head butted her. Now it appears that Eric Williams has decided to initiate another Jennifer Williams Twitter beef over their failed marriage. According to their most recent beef, it appears as if Eric keeps changing the court date around, and it’s annoying the hell out of Jennifer.

Peep the tweets that were eventually deleted, which were gathered by Snitch:

Looks like things are still messy between the two unfortunately. This Jennifer Williams Twitter beef proves the former couple may never get on civil terms after the divorce. In related news, Jennifer also shot down another rumor about who she is dating. When asked if she was dating rapper Meek Mill, she responded:

There you have it.

terrell owens and jennifer williams dating

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Are Jennifer Williams and Terrell Owens dating?Jennifer Williams might be basically a single woman after filing for divorce from her estranged husband Eric Williams, but it surely doesn’t mean she has a steady man just yet. Despite that, for the average celebrity, a picture is really a thousand words for the press. So even when someone is pictured with a person, it’s not uncommon for dating rumors to begin to circulate the gossip blogs. Sometimes the speculation is right on point, and other times the rumors are way off base. But when Jennifer Williams was spotted out shopping with former NFL Terrell Williams, rumors began to surge that the two were an dating. We have to say we found that hard to believe since Terrell Owens seems to have a distinct interest in white women only these days. Regardless, here’s one of the photos that drove the urban gossip blogs crazy yesterday:

Of course, it was only a matter of time before Jennifer took to her Twitter account to set the record straight. So is she dating Terrell Owens?

Peep the tweets:

Well there you have it. Looks like Jennifer Williams and Terrell Owens are NOT dating.

evelyn jennifer eric williams twitter beef

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Just one day after reports revealed that Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson was arrested Saturday night for head butting new wife Evelyn Lozada, it appears as if the couple now has even more drama on their hands. Although Jennifer Williams and Evelyn Lozada’s friendship took a rocky turn on the last season of Basketball Wives, the old friends have now made amends and have decided to move forward slowly and rebuild their friendship. Too bad Jennifer’s ex husband isn’t quite ready to bury his beef with Jennifer and Evelyn though. Even though something as serious as a domestic violence situation occurred between Chad and Evelyn, Eric Williams still felt the need to make a joke out of the entire situation and even took shots at Evelyn, Chad, and Jennifer on Twitter.

Apparently, Eric Williams still feels some kind of way towards Evelyn, as he still labels her as some kind of bad influence on Jennifer. Throughout his rants that was served in tweets, he seems to blame Evelyn for “changing” Jennifer from some good girl to an opportunist. Ironically, he even claims that Jennifer and Evelyn were once born again Christians, and that he even witnessed both get baptized. He suggests he’s baffled in the turn their personalities have taken with their recent stints on Basketball Wives.

Regardless, he takes time in between exposing dirt on his failed marriage with Jennifer and disgust of Evelyn Lozada to make fun of her new marriage to Chad, citing that the fight is probably part of some grand scheme for Evelyn to split with Chad soon and take half of his money. Oh, and he also thinks it’s karma that Evelyn got head butted, especially since she made fun of Eric’s lump several times on national television with Jennifer.

Peep the tweets and read from the bottom-up.
