Evelyn Lozada, pictured with the always flawless Derek J, didn’t skimp out on the details of her sex life during her time in the hot seat at Kandi Koated Nights last week.

The ‘Basketball Wives’ feisty Latina revealed that although she has tossed a salad or two back in her day in order to skip line at the club (okay I made up the last part but it’s probably not that far from the truth), future husband Chad Ochocinco isn’t a fan of the sex act.

When did his boogina become off limits all of the sudden? Call Terrell Owens for the Lipton.

When asked about her concerns on Chad remaining faithful, she told host Kandi Burruss that a man is going to cheat if he wants to, regardless of what his woman may try to do: “I care. I’m not going to say that I don’t care, but I’m not going to stress myself to a point that I’m trying to do everything to stop him.”

Quick Quotes: Hair Stylist (And Love of My Life) Derek J On Wearing High Heels

derekj3 Quick Quotes: Hair Stylist (And Love of My Life) Derek J On Wearing High HeelsI used to be a tennis shoe freak. I had over 300 pairs of tennis shoes. I started wearing heels about four years ago [but] it was a gradual transition to where I am now. I wore heels one day because I bought some pants that were too long and I didn’t have time to get them hemmed, so I bought some heels to make me taller so my pants could fit and that’s how it started.

Once I tried the heels when I was out I got good reviews. After that, I gradually started buying another pair and another pair and then I got into a skinny leg jean.

I used to just wear pumps but now I wear boots, shorts and thigh highs. I know women understand when you put on heels it makes you feel different. It gives you a different swag, a different walk. It gives you confidence. You feel good, you feel sexy. So I got to the point now where I’d do what I want to do.

I don’t put myself in situations that I know can bring negativity. I know there are certain places where I will not go dressed like this. I don’t go places by myself for the same reason. I try to take precautions the best way I can to protect myself from getting that negativity.

It makes me nervous some times with straight men because you don’t know where they’re coming from but they’ll be like, “Oh, you’re that dude that be on TV with them heels on,” and I’m like, “Really? Well, thank you.” And then if I’m out and there’s somebody being ignorant or being closed minded, you can see other people are like, “Do you know who you’re talking to? It ain’t going down like that,” so I don’t even have to do anything anymore.
