Jan 05 | by Natasha

Imani Showalter, the NY spitfire on "Basketball Wives: L.A." who was one of the first to read co-star Jackie Christie her rights, has been working out these days. And she wants to show you the fruits of her efforts. Check out Imani's new bikini bod, plus Jim Jones getting real personal in the shower on the upcoming episode of "Love & Hip Hop" inside...

Since the show ended a few months ago, it's time for vacay. Imani's headed to St. Barts soon, and she wanted her twitter followers to help her choose a bikini for the occasion. And, of course, she wanted to show off her new bikini bod. So she posted different angles of herself in the Victoria's Secret revealing leopard bikini:

And tweeted: Ok y'all this is the the winner for my St. Barths trip....Yes it's really me haha! She looks great!

In other reality news, Jim Jones is showing off his assets in the shower in the next upcoming episode of "Love & Hip Hop." And he's telling his super sweet side of why he proposed to Chrissy. Check it:

Yandy got waaay too

Yandy got waaay too emotional! What made her special is that should could hang with the boys. But she started messing with Jim's (aka her) money and letting her "feelings" about Chrissy get in the way. And what was up with the tears in the last episode? She is crying over leaving the business relationship during the same episode he is asking Chrissy to marry him! It looks like Yandy has gotten her feeling hurt in more ways than one.

Chrissy is not crazy, she

Chrissy is not crazy, she knows how Yandy really feels about her.......and from the previews of the next episode all the viewers will know, too. Yandy says to Chrissy something to the effect of: I get money by working, while you get money by laying up with a man who makes money. She's always felt that way about Chrissy, and that's why Chrissy was always poppin off at her, because she knew Yandy's real feelings toward her - Fake ass bitch, asking how can I make this right? You knew damn well you didn't like her from go. Yandy was dancing to and promoting that disrespectful song from mama jones about Chrissy, and in the same breathe gave Chrissy a book on how to be a good daughter-in-law. That's some fake ass asinine bullshit to do, and you Yandy dick riderz know it. I fucks w/Chrissy...............though I don't approve of her violent behavior - I understand her angle on things, and respect her honesty. She told Kimbella flatout, I could have handled it differently, but I'm not sorry. lol. my nigga. As for Imani, so what if she got surgery, Janet Jackson did too and ya'll stay on her dick for looking good (when she's not fat). She's had a boob job, I know for sure, and Im pretty sure she's had other work done, too. So stop frontin. 90% of women celebs have had some kind of surgery to keep you on their dicks, making you feel discontent with the way you look, so why you hating on her? Knowing damn well if you had the money, you'd do the same. And you know damn well the shallow men you're doing it for don't care what you did to get it, as long as you look good, fake ass..... So many black women walking around with no hairline from all the glue and sewins would definitely be looking for hair replacement surgery. You'd have your teeth fixed, cellulite removed, tummy tucked, breast enlarged and whatever else you wanted and could afford if you thought it would enhance your appearance. Kelly Rowland works out, but she got a boob job!!!! and ya'll still give her the credit of looking good naturally. GTFOHWTBS.

Maybe he already has...but stop saying this to the camera Jimmy and say this to Chrissy!!! Its like when he gets in her face, he says the rudest things...that rough love! Show her this sensitive side. He should have said this before he proposed....and maybe he did!! I wish them the best and I hope all the words he said in this video, he honors in her. I love Chrissy and I believe the are both wounded and need this to heal!!

A man will give a woman a

A man will give a woman a ring just to string her along and shut her up and that's exactly what Jim did with Chrissy. Because bottom line is this: If Jim REALLY wanted to marry Chrissy, he would have done it on his OWN! Chrissy would not have had to threatened to leave him or none of that BS, he would have just proposed to her like a man does when he WANTS to marry a woman. I bet my life it will another 7 years before they get married, if he wife her at all.

Leave Sexy Jimmy alone, his

Leave Sexy Jimmy alone, his tatoos makes his skin look like that. He looks real clean to me. For the record, those hating on Chrissy, can't possibly be black, because why would a black woman complain that a black woman has a black man that is obviously in love with a black woman. Furthermore, atleast he's in love with her and willing to do anything to keep her. All this hate towards Chrissy is ridiculous. And the men hating on Jimmy , are hating on that fact that Jimmy is sexy, and his body is insane. Jim knows he's sexy. When he was flexing that toy gun, before he shot it at Chrissy's butt, and told her it was a nice target back there. I almost died. When he was outside in his garage with his hands on the door, and drinking coffee, I almost melted. I don't care what anyone says, he's one sexy man. And if Jimmy was with a nonblack woman, he nor Chrissy wouldn't get this much hate. To all his fans, please check out his twitter page. His twitter pic with him holding the paint gun, is so cute.

First of all, Imani gets no

First of all, Imani gets no credit for getting a tummy tuck. Work out you if you want credit, you lazy ass! And do some squats. Her thighs and butt are really not cute. (And yes I work out and have a banging *natural* body. I'm not just hatin') Second, is Love & Hip Hop just an ad to get Jim Jones more press? A shower scene? Really dude? Third, Chrissy knows Jim isn't going to marry her. I'm engaged and I damn well *never* had one second of thinking we might not actually walk down the aisle. I feel sorry for all these people. They embarrass me, and are embarrassments to themselves.

like a man can't buy a woman

like a man can't buy a woman a house. he already told her everything he has is hers. and why would chrissy tell emily and the girls that if things don't work out, than they will be helping her pack. and she told chrissy at emily's apartment that she would be moving in with her. now if the house was chrissy's wouldn't there be a scene in which, she tell him to pack up and leave. jim has money, he takes care of chrissy financially. she has said this numerous times in interviews, and why when they were in the jewelryers she asked him, if she could get her earrings. and why would yandy throw that in her face that jim has to take care of her. i like chrissy too, but let's be real, she's the one woman on the show that doesn't have her own money. mama jones doesn't count, because she's his mama, and he probably take care of his mommy. for the record, i wouldn't want to be in chrissy's situation, my mother didn't work, and although the man provides and gives the woman nice clothes, trips, jewelry,etc, it's not a posisiton i want to be in. she always taught me and my sister to get our degree, so we can have something to fall back on, in case he trips. Chrissy said she left a comfortable situation to be with jimmy, but now he has money. And it was reported that jimmy is worth 25 million. he's good. hopefully, everything is in his mama and son's name. love is real, but family comes first.

Imani NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I was

Imani NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I was on your side but now this?? C'mon son now you look thirsty and had the nerve to start off judging Draya for her sexy ways SMH!!! Chrissy and Jimmy are cute they are in love and looking at his little shower scene I see why she stay on that he's working with a little sumthin sumthin!! Her and Yandy just need to duke it out I think Chrissy has had issues with Yandy for years ( I mean she is just too up close and personal with Jimmy) and when the thing with Emily and Kimbella happened Chrissy used that situation to tell Yandy how she feels about her regardless of her acting like she was Yandy's friend that wasn't real that was just "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" she always had the side eye on Yandy!!

I think for Chrissy to say

I think for Chrissy to say even if we don't get married, than she knows her answer right there. It's good that he proposed to her, to let Chrissy know that he could see himself married to her. But, let's be real, sexy Jimmy isn't ready to be married. He's still young. This man is two years younger than me, and men that age aren't thinking about being married. For one, Jimmy is constantly buying a new car. Chrissy wants to say cars are his painkillers, no, it's the fact that he's young and the majority of young men buy cars and shoes. His interest right now is cars. 2. If she had to say that even if we don't get married,ok so what was the pressuring him all about? You had his mama talk to him, your uncle, they should have been honest with you, and tell you that he's not ready to be married. He loves Chrissy, but then again the sexy man could be just a real affectionate man. Because the men that have looked at the show with me, are not impressed with this "love" that many females including myself is seeing. 1, One man said that Jim was playing games. He's not going to marry her.2. The other two just looked , like whatever. 3. I think Yandy and Jim have a real friendship brother/sister relationship that Chrissy should have stayed out of. Yandy, has been his manager for so long, and has been with him, even though we don't hear or see him doing nothing really, as far as career. Yandy should have been real with Chrissy, and told her that with Jim, it's never about money because if it was, I would have been gone, because his music career is nowhere right now. 4. It has to be hard on him that Chrissy is the only woman in his environment that really isn't doing anything for herself, as far as career. Now, you would think that if you see your man career isn't popping the way it should, you would go out and get a job, to have more money come to the house. And then when she ask what was her % in the company after the fact. It's crazy, I love Chrissy and Jim relationship , because he's so affectionate towards her, but she has to start doing more, because all the women in his life . Even Mama Jones got a hustle going on. I will always believe that Yandy is a better match for him, because she's all about her money, he's all about his money. I agree with the above poster said about maybe there was a situation. I hope there was.lol

NO loyalty, NO respect (insecure). That's why all the fights on the show this season can be traced back to Yandy. MESS.

Thirsty much Imani?? I mean you should be proud of achieving your fitness goals, yes, but girrrrrrrl you had some help with that tummy. That's what a tummy tuck belly looks like. But do you boo! *side eye* As far as Love and Hip Hop... WOW! That first 6 minutes had me in tears... but it's sad that Chrissy had to say "Even if we don't get married..." *sigh* Jimmy is good guy but his EGO, Lord that thug azz ego ain't nothing nice. The biggest lesson for men to learn is to know when to let that ISH GO!! But I wish them all the best.

Imani appears to be a broken

Imani appears to be a broken individual who lacks self awareness, esteem, and purpose...i say these things not to be critical, but bcuz it seems evident..when she intentionally started the season off by being coldhearted and cruel to Draya by calling her " worthless," it told the viewers alot about imani and her emotional wounds..she admittedly has not been happy or at peace since her ex...to not attain happiness is one thing and even do-able, but to obviously be lacking peace of mind is just a tragedy..draya stood for what ruined imani's idea of love and she projected it on to draya..but to be a woman first, mother second, It was disturbing to hear imani use that verb.now to see her attention seeking behavior manifested in these silly bikini photos is desperate, not bcuz she clearly had work done, but bcuz she is too old to be twittering nonsense like this..her eyes have the same empty, broken look to them..she would benefit by finding a purpose in life..she had shown the world that she has no business about herself, regarding work, career, projects, charity, etc..living off the man who has scarred her for life just isnt empowering...shes gotta get a hobby.. Chrissy and jim ..i know im old fashioned, but leading a camel to water is one thing, but forcing it to drink isnt ideal. Chrissy I get it. I have spent a little over a decade with a man that I know would marry me...but he hasnt yet. love is the most euphoric aesthetic that I and mankind will ever know, but to set boundaries around that is sooo complicated. Jim never approached this engagement from a place of longing desire or intentional effort. It was a straight up coerced event, in which he felt threatened, so he acted accordingly..when a man offers u himself bcuz he feels pressured to, I wonder how fullfilling that love will be in the long run? .. Chrissy, again, I get it. I never thought I would be able to quit my situation either..but letting go and allowing God to either bring it together or set it apart is the safest decision..if u have to nurture or threaten the desired response out of your " man," are u in fact allowing him to be a man in the situation? The proposal infuriated me bcuz it was straight up impersonal and dry. You hosted an event in which all your loved ones were present. You got down on your knees and asked him to marry you! Your ability to stand proud and defy traditional role expectations in this instance was warming to my soul...but he did not appear to be as intentional with u then, or in miami. He shows up, takes u away from your friends, and could not even show u the same respect u already showed him by getting down on his knee, sitting down next to u, somethin! Damn! It was arrogant and stale, " you said u wanna get married right?" ( then gives her a box, not even opening it and presenting it to her!!#!@!!) offended, bcuz there was nothing personal or intentional in jims actions... There is hope after heartache chrissy...and imani....let go and let God, cuz HE never fails. Never.

I'm sorry but I don't see why

I'm sorry but I don't see why some have called Yandy messy...Maybe I'm watching a different show, but she seemed pretty sincere & across the board to me...My observation of her & Jim's relationship/be it business or bro/sis involvement, I thought they were cool enough for her to talk & relate to him on the level she was doing...It didnt appear to be strickly business, no joking or whatever...I mean, she said that she & his mom talk on the phone daily so, I don't think their relationship was just that of a manager/client. That being said, I didnt take it that seriously when she was like "I'm gettin my check" or whatnot, I thought maybe that was their relationship! & as far as Chrissy is concerned, I think she took the whole "Im gettin money" thing further than it had to go....I just don't think their was malicious intent on the part of Yandy...I mean, her giving her a book on being a better daughter in law, I mean, was that really a reason to just blow up like that...& even if Chrissy was offended, damn Yandy apologized so I mean damn, what's really the problem Chrissy? Cause you can't tell me you THAT angry over that petty ish???!!!!
