LisaRaye McCoyknows how to catch a man.

The beautiful actress has scooped up another. Unlike her last one, Caribbean politician, Premier Michael Misick, this one’s a man of the cloth.

Rumors sparked back in 2011 that she was dating romantic notable preacher, Bishop Noel Jones. And according to Jawn Murray’s AlwaysAList.com and William McCray’s ObnoxiousTV, the rumors are true.

(Is LisaRaye ’bout to be a first lady all over again?)

And since the bishop, whose sister is singer/actress/model Grace Jones, has confirmed his presence on upcoming Oxygen reality show, “Pastors of LA,” the relationship will definitely be a public affair.

“I was really surprised that they were so open about their relationship. I heard the rumors that they had been dating, but all doubt was removed watching this show,” a source says.

But there’s more.

The reality show will give us a glimpse at the type of tug of war Jones, 63,and LisaRaye, 46, go through, especially because LisaRaye don’t play conservative, so to speak.

“He basically told her that he wasn’t sure she was ‘Godly enough’ for his world, and she in turn told him he may not be ‘worldly enough’ for hers,” recalled the screening guest.

Besides the interesting interactions between the two love birds, the show also follows pastors Bishop Clarence McClendon, Pastor Wayne Chaney, Bishop Ron Gibson, Pastor Jay Haizlip, and gospel singer Deitrick Haddon, who was the pastor of a Detroit church until he split from his wife and moved to L.A.

“Pastors of L.A.” premieres on Oxygen this fall.

And oh yeah, we wish LisaRaye and Noel the best in their relationship journey.

Chris Brown is an artist and he wants everyone to know it, especially his neighbors.

The singer and visual artist is beefing with his neighbors. According to the Associated Press, he’s upsetting the friendly Hollywood Hills folks with his ‘scary’ wall art (see photo above).

A neighborhood group said the grimacing, sharp-toothed, red-eyed goblins painted along a retaining wall have been scaring children, and is an eyesore to boot, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they’re literally frightened. It’s like devils on the wall – big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re used to,” Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, told the newspaper.

Despite the ruckus the neighborhood folks are making about the art, Chris should be able to do what he wants with his house right?

Well, according to Los Angeles city ordinances, it’s actually illegal to create murals on private property.

He’s been fined $376 for the unpermitted paintings and ordered to remove them in 30 days.

His attorney Mark Geragos, however, says the singer is not planning to heed to the law, saying it violates his First Amendment rights.

But the neighbors may have it out for him. They’ve filed parking complaints and even called animal control.
