Karrine Steffans Reveals V. Stiviano's Tell-All Book Plans (@karrineandco‎)



Karrine Steffans has opened up to Radar Online in the past about her friendship with V. Stiviano and now she's sharing details behind the model's plans to release a tell-all book in the future.


Steffans, who has written a few books herself (Confessions of a Video Vixen, How To Make Love To A Martian) says that Stiviano records everything in preparation for her book. The book however, will not be about Donald Sterling, but the other moments that have happened in her life.


"She's said 'When I do write a book, it's not going to be about this,'" she said. "But V says a lot of things, like she told me she would become president and wanted to be the mayor, which is weird."


Steffans also revealed that Stiviano has plenty of ideas for her book.


"I know that V writes a lot down, she records everything, she's an archivist, there are always things in her head," Steffans told Radar. "That's who she is. She has her very own way of seeing things."

Botched Oklahoma Execution Saves 51 Death Row Inmates



The disturbing death of an Oklahoma inmate has put an indefinite stay on executions at the prison and throughout the state, bringing relief to 51 death row inmates.


According to the International Business Times, Clayton Lockett (right) and Charles Warner (left) were scheduled to receive the death penalty by lethal injection last week.


On Tuesday, when the prison used a special three-drug cocktail for Lockett, his vein exploded and the inmate went through excruciating pain for 40 minutes as prosecutors and officials watched Lockett die of a heart attack. It was the first time that the state had used the special lethal cocktail.


Robert Patton, Director of Oklahoma Department of Corrections requested the delays of lethal injections until the officials figure out what went wrong in the procedure. A normal procedure allows the inmate to reach a level of sedation before the final injection so they feel no pain. 51 inmates are currently on death row at the prison.


Lockett was sentenced to death in 1999 after the murder of 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman during a home burglary. The teen was buried alive.


Warner is scheduled to be executed on May 14, but the delay has bought him more time to live. He was given the death penalty after raping and killing an 11-month-old baby girl in 1997.

Beyonce Gets Parodied in 'SNL' Skit


We all love Beyonce, right? But what would happen if you say a bad word about Queen Bey? On ‘Saturday Night Live,’ they premiered a fake trailer, which featured a man on the run after revealing that he thought Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love’ was OK.


The hilarious trailer for the thriller ‘The Beygency,’ features SNL host Andrew Garfield being hunted down by a government agency after he admitted that wasn’t crazy about one of Beyonce’s songs.


In the preview, ’24’ star Kiefer Sutherland makes a cameo as Jack Bauer and warns Garfield to disappear by going to “the left, to the left.” Get it?


In the end, Garfield does get captured and is thrown in a cell with another prisoner who didn’t dance at a wedding when Beyonce’s ‘Crazy in Love’ came on.


The film’s premise is chilling and hilarious at the same time.


Watch the video, but be warned it’s rated NC-17, “for mild language against Beyonce.”

J. Crew x New Balance 998

TheShoeGame

If you didn’t know J. Crew has a long standing relationship with New Balance that has spawned several no nonsense collaborations that feel fairly inline. This time the two brands kick off a sneaker that could possibly garner a Supreme-sized swarm of people flocking for it.


The New Balance 998 is given a camouflage-friendly feel with its suede and mesh silhouette. The Olive green, forest green, brown and orange color ways all converge along the upper of this model to give it a rugged feel that would give any Timberland boot a run for its money.


There isn’t a release date set for New Balance 998 but it will probably pop up quietly on the J. Crew website any day now. We’d recommend setting a google alert and keeping at least $150 liquid in your checking account.

Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber Walk Floyd Mayweather to Boxing Ring [VIDEO]


Boxing great Floyd “Money” Mayweather was escorted to the ring by Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber before his ballyhooed fight against Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand on Saturday (May 3). And it was truly a circus.


A team of clowns, jugglers, stilt walkers and twirlers kicked off the festivities before Mayweather’s entrance. Meanwhile, Tunechi performed his just-released single, ‘Believe Me,’ while walking the champion to the center square.


As for the fight, it was a close one. From the opening bell, Maidana came out swinging with a slew of body shots and overhand punches that Mayweather couldn’t escape at times. After getting a cut over his right eye from an accidental head butt in the fourth round, Mayweather came back strong and won the fight by a close majority decision.


Mayweather’s win brings his record to an impressive 46-0. A possible rematch is in the works for September.


Afterward, Mayweather thanked Weezy and the Biebs for their support.


Congratulations to Floyd Mayweather and the Money Team!
