Love And Hip Hop

"Love & Hip Hop: New York" star Mendeecees Harris is apologizing for all his coke and heroin slinging -- on his way to starting a prison sentence.

Harris was sentenced Tuesday for his federal drug trafficking charges -- and got 8 years and 1 month in the slammer, plus 5 years supervised release.

He got credit for already serving 15 months ... so, he'll be in for less than 7 years.

Mendeecees has reportedly already paid back the feds more than $100k from his earnings and appearances on 'Love & Hip Hop.'

After court, he posted a message saying, "I completely accept responsibility for all that is going on" ... and thanked his family and fans for their support.

Stevie J just avoided going back to jail, but there's a catch ... he's going to rehab instead.

Stevie was in court last week for his child support case so the judge could decide whether to revoke his bail for failing a recent drug test. Luck was on Stevie's side -- instead of locking him up, the judge ordered him to enroll in an outpatient drug treatment program.

Under the order, Stevie must report to a facility twice a week and comply with drug testing.

Benzino and girlfriend Althea Eaton are looking to make a quick buck on the first pictures of their newborn son ... Zino Antonio Scott.

Baby Zino was born on Nov. 10 and we're told the former "Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta" stars have already offered first shots of the kid to several tabloids ... IF they're willing to pay $20k!

The couple's been very coy -- only posting photos of Zino's feet and hands ... leading some fans to think there were complications with the birth. Not to worry, baby's fine -- 5 lbs. 11 oz. -- it's just mom and dad trying to get a bigger payday.

Who would've guessed Katt Williams would turn out to be the world's greatest boyfriend ... in addition to showering his gf, Hazel-E, with extravagant gifts, Katt's also cool with other men rubbing their junk all over his gal.

Hazel-E hit the popular Sin City striptease Thunder From Down Under over the weekend and from the looks of the video, really weathered the storm.

Young B -- best known for her 2006 hit "Chicken Noodle Soup" -- says a former manager is extorting her for a cut of her "Love & Hip Hop: New York" dough, and he might get her tossed from the show.

The rapper says she hadn't heard from Arthur Smith in 5 years, but he recently resurfaced and threatened to sue VH1 if he didn't get 50% of her "participation fee."

B says she signed with Smith in 2006 ... when she was only 16 and "Chicken Noodle Soup" was taking off. In her lawsuit, she says that contract is void because Smith stopped meeting his management obligations long ago, and his label went under.

In other words, as Janet Jackson said ... what have you done for me lately? Young B wants the judge to declare the contract null and void.

Now, a little 'Chicken Noodle' chaser ...

"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Milan Christopher took his war with his ex-bf to the next level -- going to court to get protection after Miles Brock allegedly attacked him last weekend.

An L.A. judge signed off on Milan's request for a restraining order on Monday ... meaning Brock has to stay at least 100 yards away from Milan. In the docs, Christopher accuses Brock of punching him in the face, resulting in a "swollen face black eye."

TMZ broke the story ... Brock was arrested Saturday night in NYC, a day after the exes ended up at the same Halloween party where the punch allegedly went down.

We got Milan on his way out of court, and he insists ... there won't be any reconciliation.

9:20 AM PT -- Miles addressed the alleged assault on his Instagram Monday morning saying, "Woke up this morning to more gossip, slander and lies ... I've never put my hands on anyone ..."

"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Miles Brock was arrested Halloween night after allegedly attacking ex-BF Milan Christopher who's also on the show.

Law enforcement tells us Milan went to NYPD cops Friday night, claiming he and Miles ended up at the same party, they started arguing and Miles slugged him in the face.

Milan filed a police report and the next night Milan tracked Miles down in Times Square, found a cop and pointed Miles out. The cop cuffed Miles and placed him under arrest for assault.

Good news: Boxing champ Adrien Broner scored a sweet cameo on "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta."

Bad News: You won't actually see it because Broner angrily stormed off set before cameras even starting rolling.

Anchor? Benzino barely knows her!

Okay, he actually does know her ... but we couldn't resist after seeing Benzino's maritime-themed pose with GF Althea Eaton's ever expanding uterus.

The former "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" stars announced in July they're expecting their first child together.

We know this much ... the kid's gonna be a fighter.

Nikki Mudarris is accusing her ex BF Mally Mall of not only leaking their sex tape ... but also hitting her, destroying her property, and threatening to blackmail her.

The "Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood" star says Mally is obsessed with her and told her he would "EXPOSE UR DIRTY P" if she didn't stop being a bitch. She says a week later, he leaked a sex tape they had made.

Mudarris makes the accusations in her request for a restraining order against Mally Mall. In the docs, she also says he's threatened to kill himself. As for violence against her ... Mudarris says Mally injured her nose back in February, and has destroyed her phones multiple times.

Nikki seems to fear Mally's exotic pets, because when asked about any weapons he might own -- she points out his collection of wild animals and snakes.

Mudarris says Mally's been hitting her up for money, and believes he's recorded other sexual encounters without her knowledge to blackmail her. In other words -- don't be shocked if another sex tape leaks.

A judge granted the restraining order ... which requires Mally Mall to stay 100 yards away and have no contact with Nikki.

Last night Mally sounded like he was just as done with Nikki as she is with him.

"Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star Nikki Mudarris claims she had no idea a recently leaked sex tape would surface and she's warning everyone who posts it to take it down ... or she'll sue.

Mudarris appears in the video with 'L&HH' co-star Mally Mall and it hit the web this week like wildfire. Nikki's lawyer threatened legal action in a letter sent to various blogs that posted the video to take it down STAT.

Her attorney claims the video was recorded without Nikki's knowledge and reports of her speaking with Vivid about a deal for the tape are flat out lies.

Momma Dee can breathe a sigh of relief ... because she won't be charged for allegedly skipping out on a $500 restaurant bill.

The "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star called into TMZ Live to tell her side of the story -- that she got stuck with another party's check after a trip to the bathroom, and was wrongfully arrested.

The Milwaukee D.A.'s office saw it Dee's way, because they declined to prosecute based on lack of evidence.

The lesson here: Don't mess with Momma Dee.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Momma Dee was busted by cops after she allegedly left a restaurant without paying.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Dee was arrested Saturday morning in Milwaukee for "fraud on inn keeper - nonpayment." AKA ... skipping out on a bill somewhere.

It was reported that Momma Dee was out with friends to celebrate her birthday and when a bill of around $500 came to the table, no one wanted to cough up the cash.

Dee was held behind bars for a few hours and released after posting a $250 bail.

This what "just another day at the office" looks like for Nikki Mudarris ... so, yeah ... your office sucks compared to hers.

The "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" hottie hit up Ace of Diamonds LA on Monday night to spray down strippers with stacks of the Federal Reserve's finest.

Nikki and her family famously own several strip clubs -- and, in fact, she even brought her mom with her to check out the action last night.

Research. Not as boring as it sounds ... for some people.

'Love and Hip Hop' star Teairra Mari just learned a tough lesson -- you can get charged for not getting a phone charge.

You might remember ... Mari allegedly went nuts on an Uber driver in July after he refused to let her charge her cellphone. The driver claims Mari began to punch him and stole his charger -- forcing him to pull over.

Prosecutors bought the driver's story and on Friday Mari was charged with battery and theft -- both misdemeanors. She was also hit with a vandalism charge but it's not clear where that came from.

Karlie Redd is taking the high road when it comes to stripping for cameras, opting for Playboy instead of porn.

The ‘Love & Hip Hop: ATL’ star will be getting fully naked for Playboy Plus, the magazine’s NSFW sister site (act like you don’t know).

Karlie thinks the Playboy route is classier than the Vivid route ... the company offered her $25k for a sex tape, which she seriously considered but ultimately rejected.

Playboy Plus says they'll shoot Karlie next month and the pics will go public this fall. They plan on putting Karlie in the celebrity section where she'll be right at home with Kim Kardashian and Madonna.
