V. Stiviano has been at the center of the Donald Sterling controversy ever since audiotape leaked of a conversation she had with the L.A. Clippers owner, while he espoused racist views.
Sterling has since been banned from the NBA and is being pressured to sell his team.
Other than being seen out in public wearing a face visor, Stiviano has kept a low profile until her interview with Barbara Walters on Friday, May 2.
Is the married 80-year old business mogul her sugar daddy? Is she a well paid call girl? Did she leak the tape? These are questions many people want answers to. Stiviano provided answers to some of them.
"I'm his confidant, his best friend, his silly rabbit," she told Barbara. "Our relationship stared off me working for Mr. Sterling - his non-profit organization. The Donald T. Sterling Foundation, and it evolved to so much more. On a level which has become a big scandal. How and why doesn't even matter any more, it's here. And some things needed to be brought to the light."
Stiviano says despite what is heard on the tapes Sterling is not a racist.
"I think the things he says are not what he feels. Anyone can say anything in the heat of the moment," she continued. “I think Mr. Sterling is from a different generation than I am. I think he was brought up to believe these things … segregation, whites and blacks. But through his actions he’s shown that he’s not a racist. He’s shown to be a very generous and kind man.”
The 31-year old admits to taping the conversations, but claims that they were leaked by a friend. Stiviano thinks Sterling should apologize for his comments, however she's not sure if he will.
"Only God knows," she said.
She insists the two have never had a sexual relationship. Prior to her conversation with Walters, Stiviano had just left a meeting with Sterling.
"I think he’s highly more traumatized and hurt by the things that he said himself. I think he can’t even believe or understand sometimes the thing he says, and I think he’s hurt by it. He’s hurting right now."

Columbus Short's name has been dragged through the mud by his estranged wife, Toure Tanee McCall.
The actor has been fired from his role on the television show Scandal because of arrests for domestic abuse and accusations he threatened to kill Toure.
Short is defending himself by releasing a video of Toure fighting his friend, Tilly Key. The tape was shot on February 19, the day after the actor was let out of jail for a domestic violence incident.
Short asked Key to pick him up from his house. When Toure saw her inside the home she allegedly attacked.
Key claims to have suffered a concussion, a cervical sprain, multiple contusions, a lumbar sprain and lumbar strain. She wanted TMZ to releases the video to show how dangerous Toure can be. Key also claims her life was threatened.
Toure has filed for divorce from Short and has a protective order against him. Police recently helped escort him from the home he shared with Toure, as part of the restraining order.

ABI BARIK, Afghanistan (Associated Press) — Afghan rescuers and hundreds of volunteers armed with shovels and little more than their bare hands dug through earth and mud Saturday looking for survivors or bodies of loved ones killed by a massive landslide in the remote northeast.

Figures on the number of people killed and missing in the disaster Friday varied from 255 to 2,700 as officials tried to gather precise information. Fears of a new landslide complicated rescue efforts, and with homes and residents buried under meters (yards) of mud, officials said the earth from the landslide likely would be their final resting place.

"That will be their cemetery," said Mohammad Karim Khalili, one of the country's two vice presidents, who visited the scene Saturday. "It is not possible to bring out any bodies."
Though figures on the death toll varied, residents knew the toll the tragedy had taken on their own families.

From atop a muddy hill, Begam Nesar pointed to the torrent of earth below that had wiped out much of her village. "Thirteen of my family members are under the mud," she said, including her mother, father, brothers, sisters and children. She said she had been visiting relatives at a nearby village when the disaster struck.

The United Nations said Friday at least 350 people died, and the provincial governor said as many as 2,000 people were feared missing. On Saturday, the International Organization of Migration said information they gathered from provincial figures and local community leaders indicated that 2,700 people were dead or missing.

Part of the confusion lay in the fact that no one knew how many people were home when the landslide struck. At least 255 people were confirmed dead, Khalili said. Most of those were people who had rushed to the scene to help after a previous, smaller landslide. When a bigger landslide then struck the area, those people along with roughly 300 homes were wiped out. But since no one knows how many people were in those 300 homes, it remains difficult to account for the dead, Khalili said.

Mohammad Aslam Seyas, deputy director of the Natural Disaster Management Authority, said fears of new landslides had slowed the operation.
"Search and rescue operations are going on very slowly," Seyas said.
The ground on a hill overlooking the village was soaked from recent heavy rainfalls that officials believe triggered the slide. About 1 kilometer (more than half a mile) away, government and aid groups had set up tents to care for people displaced by the disaster.

Sunatullah, a local farmer, was working outside when he felt the earth start to move. He said he ran toward his house, grabbed his wife and children and then ran to the top of a nearby hill. Minutes later, he said, part of the hill collapsed.
"The houses were just covered in mud," he said, adding that he had lost 10 members of his extended family, his house and his livestock.

Authorities distributed food and water to people displaced by the landslides, said Abdullah Homayun Dehqan, the head of Badakhshan province's National Disaster Department.
A memorial ceremony is planned for later Saturday, United Nations spokesman Ari Gaitanis said.
Rescuers have struggled to reach the remote area, where there is little development or infrastructure. The province borders Tajikistan to the north and China and Pakistan to the east.
"Badakhshan is a remote, mountainous region of Afghanistan, which has seen many natural disasters," said the head of the IOM's Afghanistan office, Richard Danziger. "But the scale of this landslide is absolutely devastating, with an entire village practically wiped away. Hundreds of families have lost everything."
In addition to the wars and fighting that have plagued Afghanistan for roughly three decades, the country has been subject to repeated natural disasters including landslides and avalanches. A landslide in 2012 killed 71 people. Authorities were not able to recover the vast majority of bodies and ended up declaring the site a massive grave.

MTV News caught up with Troy Ave on the set of his music video shoot for "Your Style." The Brooklyn, New York emcee talked about the co-signs he's gotten from three New York City rap titans.
“I think it’s ill when you got somebody like 50, speaking about you in a dope manner, as far as, ‘Yo, I like what he’s doing’,” he continued.
Ave’s 2013 breakout single “Show Me Love” borrowed elements from 50 Cent’s 2003 classic “In da Club” and features G-Unit’s Tony Yayo, while his current single, “Your Style,” features Lloyd Banks. Now, he has New York’s top rap representatives rooting for him.
“I met Nas the other night and he said, ‘Yo, you ill, I love what you’re doing for the city,’” Ave shared. “Jay Z hitting my phone, texting me, like ‘Son, you keep doing your thing, you’re representing for the town.’”
With all of the recent co-signs, the BK spitter says that 50′s stamp means the most to him.
“I think that’s dope. Especially 50; 50 was one of my influences coming up. He came through, burnt it up, made half-a-billie damn near,” he said. “So I’m trying to do the same thing, I’m out here representing.”

After giving fans a sneak peek via a trailer and behind the scenes footage here's the official visuals for "Homicide" from Doe B featuring T.I. This is off of Doe B's project D.O.A.T.3 (Definition of a Trapper). Grab it now from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/d.o.a.t.-3-definition-trapper/id851600971.
T.I. is making a habit out of helping people in distress. In 2010 the Grand Hustle CEO helped to talk a suicidal man down from the roof of an Atlanta building. On Wednesday, April 30, Tip witnessed an accident while heading to Popeye's in Inglewood, California and stopped to help.
A car slammed into an SUV knocking it on it's side. T.I. went to assist the SUV passenger. The female driver was more concerned with who was rescuing her than her own injuries.
"Is that T.I.?" the woman asked, before telling him she wasn't wearing any underwear.
"Don't worry, we won't look," Tip told her.
T.I. waited for the ambulance to arrive then headed on his way.

"I quit everything but music," Meek Mill said repeatedly after losing a civil rights lawsuit against the Philadelphia Police Department on Thursday, May 1.
As we previously reported, Meek filed the suit earlier this year against two cops for illegally detaining him on Halloween 2012.
Police stopped Meek's vehicle and said they smelled weed they approached. When asked if his car could be searched Meek said no. The rapper and his three passengers were detained while a search warrant could be obtained.
They were held for 10 hours. A subsequent search of the vehicle turned up nothing. The delay caused Meek to miss a $22,000 private jet flight to Atlanta and a $39,000 appearance fee.
The Dream Chasers Records CEO said the attention received from the stop negatively impacted his negotiations with Puma for an endorsement. Instead of the $2 million deal he was seeking, Meek had to settle for $650,000.
On Thursday an eight-member panel, made up of mostly white jurors ruled that Meek's civil rights had not been violated.
"Although we voted unanimously that Mr. Williams' Fourth Amendment rights were not violated, we feel strongly both the plaintiff and defendant were in the wrong and made mistakes," the panel wrote to the judge.
"They ain't from where I'm from," Meek told Philly.com. "I don't really expect them to understand."
Meek felt all along that the traffic stop was racially motivated.
"In neighborhoods like where I come from, four black males in a car . . . we're always being asked to be searched," he testified on Monday.
Meek's lawyer, Dennis Cogan, had asked the panel to award his client more than $400,000

Suge Knight doesn't like Puff Daddy and he doesn't try to hide his disdain for the business mogul. TMZ caught up with Knight outside of 1Oak in West Hollywood on Thursday, May 1, and let him vent.
"I'm the motherf*cker that when people ask me if I know who killed 2Pac... Not saying 2Pac dead or alive. But I'm saying if they asked me who killed 2Pac, I'm the n*gga that said, 'Hey, absolutely not.' I don't get down like that," Suge said.
Suge then expressed his opinion on Diddy and 2Pac's death.
"You'll have 90 motherf*ckers walk down the street and say Suge killed 2Pac. But everybody know off the top, I ain't the n*gga killed Tupac. I'm the n*gga protected Tupac!" Suge added. "But that the same time, bitch a$$ Puffy can get him a motherf*cking star, and every rat in the world say he's the one who killed 2Pac, or had him shot. But if you notice it was a rat on television saying he the one that did the shooting. If you think about it, why you think nobody's been arrested if they said they killed 2Pac? Because 2Pac not dead. If he was dead they'd be arresting those dudes for murder. He's on an island smoking a Cuban cigar."
