Is Whitney Going To Have Another Nimpho Babby?

whit

R&B bad boy Bobby Brown has hinted his wife Whitney Houston is pregnant with their second child in a new interview. Speaking candidly to urban magazine Sister 2 Sister, the My Prerogative singer let's slip that his wife is "resting up" at home in Atlanta, Georgia.And, following reports the couple has split, Brown is happy to report they're planning on becoming parents again. He tells the publication: "I'm hoping that she's pregnant right now... She's just resting." (via D-Listed)

God I hope this isn't true. I love Bobby and Whit like the next person but could you imagine those two raising another child? Now that would me some must see tv for your ass. They would be too high to take the kid to their first day of school. Poor kid would probably come out looking like a cross between Flava Flav and Ne-Yo's mom.


Pumkin Tells Her Side



Thank you Jai for this great observation! Now moving along, Pumkin wrote about spit gate on her myspace blog. Check it:

Yeah . . . I Can Spit! So, what?

Ok . . . so as most of you know, I was eliminated last night from Flavor of Love. I know . . . so sad :-( Anyway, this is really what went down that night. My mom came and met Flav and told him that I had been on game shows and dating shows before. Big surprise, huh? I mean, after all, the producers knew about every girls past experience on tv and each one of us have definitely been on something before! So, I was pissed because Flav was calling me out when he already knew what was up. I mean how can Flav sit there and question my intentions . .. look at his track record. Surreal Life, Strange Love, Flavor of Love . . . all reality shows, hmmm? I was pissed because he was being a hypocrit in my eyes. I was telling him that he had a pot of gold left and a pot of shit left and I hope in the end he goes with the pot of gold. New York butted in saying her usual and for me to go get a face lift. Well, I just did what everyone else wanted to do and wanted to see. So, I spit in her face. No, she did not hit me. No she did not really push me. My clutzy ass tripped over the rug in my high heels. Regardless of what happened, the bitch deserved it and the show went on. So, please understand that I am not a bad person . .. I am normal and when people press your buttons sometimes you do things out of character. However, I have absolutely no regrets!

Much Love, Pumkin

Tamala Jones Is Really Trying To Sell Issues of Smooth, Eh?

Actress Tamala Jones graces the cover of the latest issue of the men's magazine SMOOTH and in the piece, penned by this columnist; Jones has some choice words for syndicated radio talent Wendy Williams. While Jones is quite clear about her disdain for the New York City-based shock jock, the comments that weren't included in the article make what Jones said in the piece look mild in comparison.

In the eight-page spread, Jones acknowledged that it was Williams who caused singer-rapper Nate Dogg to call off their engagement. "That little s-t Wendy Williams has never met me. She's never sat down and said, 'Tamala let me get an interview with you.' I understand she's like a gossip person, but even the ones that write in the tabloids and even the ones that really want the story are classy. She's a classless woman who doesn't even know by her mouth what she can do to a person's life. Forget the relationship, what she can do to a person's life. She doesn't even know how much s-t she's done contributed to that's been messed up for me based on her comments that are not fact," says Jones.

Jones adds she doesn't know how a person she's never met nor had a conversation with could create stories about her and tell them like they are fact. "She doesn't know anything about me. I can see if she'd hung out with me or had firsthand knowledge, but some of the s-t that she says about me, like, 'Tamala's like a doorknob, everybody's gotten a turn.' B-h, you really don't know me," rages Jones. "She's basically saying that everyone I've worked with I've f-ked. That's a damn lie! That's the golden rule in Hollywood: You don't @#%* your co-stars or you @#%* yourself!" (continue reading)

Fresh Tidbits: Beyonce's Nigga-Rigged Booth, Diddy Too Sexy

The New York Post reports Beyonce and Tina Knowles' House of Dereon fashion line was poorly represented at the Magic fashion trade show in Las Vegas. The company's booth, which was meant to resemble a villa, was shoddily made, a spy told the paper. "It was so cheaply done, the vines were visibly Scotch-taped to the villa," the source revealed. "It was very un-Beyonce." But a spokesman for the company disputed the claim, insisting the booth was professionally constructed, adding, "It won the contest for the best booth in the contemporary area." (source)

Sean Combs' print ads for his Unforgiveable fragrance were rejected by some magazines for being too "sexy." (Combs looked like he'd just had a threesome with a blonde and a brunette.) Now one of his TV ads has been banned as well. The spot, which showed Combs climbing out of a swimming pool with a naked model, showed the model's breast for an instant. The flash of flesh made even MTV back off the commercial. A rep for MTV didn't return calls. (source)



The Blogosphere Ain't Ready!



You know blogging has really become a big thing when MC Hammer jumps on the bandwagon! His blog is filled with a lot of pictures of his children and a post here and there. He even has audio posts!

Ne-Yo's Mama = Mother of the Year



Everybody has that one friend whose mother is cool as hell. She let's you smoke in the house (hell she might even join you), have sex in her bed, washes the sheets for you afterward, and doesn't pressure you about going to school nor mapping out a future for yourself. I'm not saying that Ne-Yo's mom fits that description down to a tee but I wouldn't be surprised if she did. I love her already! I'll take this lady over Tina Knowles any damn day. Clearly you can see that she is just so proud of her son. Brings a tear to my eye knowing that maybe one day I can feel the same way. Cheers to you mama.

What's Your Verb?

You may be able to testify about pissing on somebody but you bet' not call it the 'R.Kelly' out in Sacramento! Who would've ever thought after selling millions of records around the globe that his name would now become a verb. It must make him all warm and fuzzy on the inside knowing that his name will be associated with pissing on underage girls forever.

Prosecutors said they had to drop a case against a man accused of trying to accost an 11-year-old girl because a judge wouldn't allow testimony about a slang term involving R. Kelly. Tamiko Carter, 30, approached the girl last September while she was walking to school and asked her how old she was, prosecutors said. When she told him she was 11, Carter allegedly asked whether she had a boyfriend, "then told her he was fixing to do an 'R. Kelly.'"Carter allegedly pulled his car to the curb and opened the door, but the girl ran away.

Kelly, a singer from Chicago, has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography in Cook County Circuit Court. The charges stem from a February 2002 videotape that allegedly showed Kelly and a 14-year-old performing numerous sex acts. The prosecutor's office said Kelly's name is now listed in the "Urban Dictionary" as a verb that means to have sex with an underage girl. (more)

So What's An R.Kelly Exactly?

1.The process of pissing all over a girls face who is 14 years of age or younger for sexual arrousal and total domination... Similiar to a golden shower but with girls 14 years or younger.
1. The old man pulled an R Kelly on the 14 year old

2. The act of having sex with a minor
2. "Man shes only 12 years old! He pulled an R Kelly!"

3. Someone who has sex with a minor
3. "She was 12? He's such an R Kelly!" (urban dictionary)

Bobby Brown: 'You Know I Always Wanted To Fuck You?'

Whitney Houston's husband Bobby Brown has been branded a shameless lothario by actress Tamala Jones - who claims the singer/actor recently tried to seduce her. The 37-year-old R+B pioneer, who has been married to Houston for 14-years, reportedly met Jones twice, and tried to get her into bed on both occasions. Jones who acted alongside Brown in 2001 movie, Two Can Play That Game, tells America's Smooth magazine, "He came over and said, 'What's up?' He picks me up and he's like, 'I heard you been in Atlanta, girl. Why you don't come and see me? Don't you know I always wanted to f**k you?' I'm like, 'Boy you better put me down! I am dating somebody that's in the business, and he's from Atlanta. You know my dude and I know your wife.'

"He said he wasn't even with Whitney anymore." Last month (JAN06) Houston and Brown denied rumours they are headed for the divorce courts. (source)

Whoa, he better not let Whitney find out about this shit. She will take both him and Tamala down to Chinatown. I haven't downloaded a sex tape before however I would check for this one. I am happy to see that the media is referring to him as the 'R+B pioneer.' Fucking right! Don't forget Bobby will appear on 'Wildin' Out' tonight!

Kimora Lee's Em-Phat-ic: She & Russell Are In Love



Kimora Lee Simmons is hosing down talk that her blissful marriage to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons is a sham. Ever since they wed in 1998, the power couple has battled gossip that their union was one of "convenience" - that business, more than passion, held them together, and that their interests, shall we say, lay elsewhere.

Kimora argues: "One thing my marriage is not is convenient. I am inconvenienced, s-! "Honey, Russell and I have been together 14 years," she adds. "That's almost half my life." The bodacious model and fashion czarina admits she and Def Jam founder have had their rough patches. "The things we go through are very regular things that regular people in Middle America go through," she tells Margeaux Watson in Vibe Vixen magazine.

Folks in Kenosha, Wis., may not have exactly the same issues. Take that time Russell slapped her picture on a Phat Farm T-shirt without her permission. "He didn't pay me, which is totally illegal," she points out. "That's like putting a print of Beyoncé on my shirt - she would sue the s- out of me! But I never did sue him. See, that's one of the things about being married.

"I think he probably feels that he's paid me in so many other ways, and I feel like that's true," she said. Kimora's rep yesterday denied the couple was headed for divorce, even though career demands often keep them apart. A friend of the couple admitted that, even though Kimora is often seen with an entourage of girlfriends, "in private, she and Russell are very much in love."

She clearly enjoys the bounty their union has brought her. "I don't apologize for my diamonds, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover or anything," she says. "Look, Queen Elizabeth has more diamonds than me. Why don't people attack her for it? And she even sounds flattered that Russell slapped her image on "a line of underwear - all over the boys' d-s ... I've been all over their a-; they just sittin' all over me." (source)

LL Cool J Is Not In Love With Strippers

Rapper LL Cool J is urging his peers to stop degrading women in their music videos, because he fears they are setting a bad example to the younger generation. The rap star, whose latest video Control Myself features a scantily-clad Jennifer Lopez, insists women can look sexy and classy in bikinis - but shouldn't be portrayed as prostitutes and strippers.

He says, "I think that there's more room in the videos for women to be portrayed in a better way, like, classy. I don't mean that they can't be beautiful, can't wear swimsuits, can't wear bikinis. "I don't think that every woman has to be a stripper in every video. "When you have three daughters and you're sitting there watching the video channel and every girl that's on there is like a stripper.... I don't think that we have to tell them that this is all there is for you to do in order for you to make it." (source)

Terrence Howard Will Be In 49 Movies This Year



The San Bernardino County Sun is reporting that Terrence Howard is in talks to star in three different biopics--on singer Rick James, boxer Joe Louis and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. A film based on the life of the late funk legend James has been talked about for a number of years, while a biopic on the Brown Bomber [Louis] has been done at least twice before – including 1953's "The Joe Louis Story." Spike Lee was rumored to have a Joe Louis film in the works with Vin Diesel in the title role.

In the wake of his Oscar nomination, Howard has signed on the dotted line for three movies. He'll play a police officer helping (and loving) a grieving, revengeful Jodie Foster in "The Brave One." He'll portray an inspirational coach in the true-life "PDR" and a social worker in the ensemble drama "August Rush."The range of projects speaks volumes about Howard's versatility. (For the record: He's most interested in playing Marshall. "Everyone knows his name, but there's very little known about him," Howard says.) Howard is also writing a father-daughter movie of his own, taking seriously the advice George Clooney recently gave him about "making the system beholden to you."

Does Hollywood only have one black actor now? I could've sworn we were up to eight. I think Slickback would make a great Rick James. He has that crazy, I'll-burn-a-white-girl-with-a-crackpipe look.


Don't Ask Star Jones About The Down Low

star

TV host-turned-relationship-advisor, Star Jones, blows a fuse when questions arise regarding the 'down low' phenomenon and her husband's sexual past. Star Jones writing a book about finding the ideal husband is like Anderson Cooper listing the best ways to score with hot chicks. Something just doesn't sound right. Star Jones added the last name Reynolds in 2004, exactly a year after she met Al Reynolds, a handsome Wall Street banker, eight years her junior. After a brief romance, Reynolds proposed to "The View" co-hostess during halftime at a Lakers game in February 2004. And that's when the publicity machine kicked into gear.

Star and Al posed for countless couples portraits. They even launched a website that's still up and running, StarandAl.com. But as the couple prepared for a lavish Manhattan wedding that rivaled the David Gest-Liza Minnelli nuptials, items about Al's sexuality began appearing in gossip columns -- all because Al once shared a house on Fire Island. Then something weird happened. . .

Dallas Voice: Don't you think "the down low" is an important topic in 2006 -- especially for African-American women who are searching for love?

Star Jones: But not in every book. You can't address every issue. And that was not the issue I was addressing, obviously. Quite frankly, it was a journey I was taking to sort of better myself and to find out what it is I wanted in life. And I used it as a backdrop for other women. The book deals more with you identifying what's going to make you happy and not a whole bunch of social issues. That might be another book, but it's not this one. (continue)

I'm going to have to side with Star this time. The point of the whole interview was to give "Shine" some publicity, not have an open debate about if Al wears ruffles on his panties or not. I'm so glad she didn't go Buffie the Body and call the interviewer a punk ass bitch. Star, you're such a fucking lady.

All-Star H.A.M.



I'm from Georgia so I know country people when I see them. Miss Jay needs to teach these fools how to pose right for the cameras. I mean really, if you didn't know any better you would think Juvie was on a cell phone, which is a favorite down here when you take polaroid pictures in the club. Lil' Webbie isn't helping the cause much either with the hand movements. Whenever the flash of a camera is about to go off around most Southerners they immediately twist their fingers up.



Wood Haris, "Guest", and Micheal "back-the-fuck-up-away-from-the-camera" Williams look like the poor man's version of the Black Eyed Peas.



A suggestion: If you are high then its probably not such a good idea to show up in public to a party where the rap patrol is in large numbers, no? So with that being said it also wouldn't be a good move to perform high either. And David? Don't make that face baby.

Lastly, being a heterosexual woman I have no idea of how exactly men pick and choose women to approach in social settings. But something tells me that walking around with a pen attached to your outfit isn't a good thing. If I was a male at a star studded event such as this I might be worried. Now I ain't saying she a gold digger but shit, get it together girl. Wait a minute . . . is that Farrah from the trial version of Destiny's Child?

What Would Jesus Do?

Pentecostal minister Hezekiah Walker, one of the most renowned Black ministers in the nation, is a reported homosexual. This startling revelation has come out during his extremely bitter divorce from his longtime wife Monique. According to sources close to the divorce, Monique Walker suspected that something was awry when her husband infected her with a sexually transmitted disease. After confronting Pastor Walker about the disease, he reportedly admitted to carrying on an affair with a man who wears women's clothing and a blond wig. Sources claim that Walker then forced his wife and children from their home so that he could live in peace with his transvestite lover.

Pastor Walker's down-low lifestyle is particularly shocking given that he has been an outspoken critic of homosexual lifestyles. A member of Pastor Walker's congregation seemed relieved about the news, explaining that she's "glad the cat is finally out of the bag." According to the woman, "many churchgoers left the church because of all the rumors [concerning Pastor Hezekiah Walker's sexuality], and hopefully now the Pastor will step down and the church members can come back."Hezekiah Walker is probably best known for his gospel recordings which earned him 2 Grammy Awards and 10 nominations. He also performed alongside Mariah Carey during last weeks Grammy Awards. (source via Troy!)

Prince Wants Paris To Act Her Age And Not Her Shoe Size, Luda's Acting Bug, and PETA's Pissed At Beyonce

Paris Hilton may think Prince is hot -- but looks like he thinks she's not. The partying heiress toasted the "Purple Rain" singer in a London club this week -- only to have him sneak out the back. Hilton was reportedly drinking the powerful liquor absinthe at the club Kaberet Prophecy when she got into the DJ box and announced to the crowd, "I'm celebrating my birthday and Prince is in the house, so I want to play his new single because he's hot," according to London's Sun newspaper. The artist, hiding under a hood, quickly headed for the exit, but Hilton danced on the table tops until 3:30 a.m. (source) Click here to see Prince performing on stage at the Brit Awards.




Atlanta based emcee Chris "Ludacris" Bridges is expanding his acting resume to television with an appearance on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" next month. "When I was approached to work on 'SVU' and read the script, there was no way that I could turn down this amazing opportunity," he said. Ludacris will play hip hop pioneer Ice-T’s ("Detective Finn") nephew in an episode that airs March 28th. "The character was so rich and the story line so complex that I knew it was something I had to do," said Ludacris. In 2004 he co-starred as a philosophic car jacker in the award winning film "Crash" and acted last year in "Hustle & Flow." Ludacris has also appeared in "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003) and "Wash" (2001). Thanks Jazmin!




Beyonce Knowles is under attack from animal rights activists because her label, House of Dereon, started selling clothes made of rabbit and chinchilla fur, and teddy bears made of mink. Knowles has been inundated with hate mail and activists have threatened to leave carcasses outside of her house. This will make the second time Beyonce has come under fire from animal welfare groups. She was included in a group of celebrities who were blasted by PETA for wearing Canadian Mukluk boots, which are made of rabbit fur. The organization's spokesman said:"The rabbits are sourced from Asia and crammed into small, wire boxes before being electrocuted or strangled. Many are skinned alive. As far as we can see, this kind of treatment is what celebrities - those who don't give a damn - are supporting. Fake fur looks every bit as good." Thanks Mika!

Keith Sweat Performs In Atlanta, Opens Hotel?

There have been some rumors circulating that Keith Sweat was set to open a hotel in ATL at 395 Piedmont Ave in Midtown. Keith put an end to those rumors earlier this week when he called into a radio station to talk about his concert which featured Charlie (last name) Wilson and Silk. I believe the name of the concert was billed as "Keith Sweat's Hotel" or something of that nature. So don't believe the hype. I admit that I did for a second until I actually sat back and thought about it. Here are a few pictures courtsey of Sandra Rose:

Keith Sweat poses with his sons Jordan, Justin and his mother Juanita. Looks like somebody already has the old man in the club look down pat!

Monica (Sandra also has a picture of her son, scroll down to the entry for February 10 ) and her fiance' Rodney "Rock" Hill Jr pose backstage after the show. Keith Sweat brought Monica onstage at the Civic Center to perform a duet of "Make It Last Forever".


Da Brat and her guest (read: lady friend) enjoy the show.

- I can't wait to see Mr. Bankhead Ambassador getting his trap/skate on in "ATL". The stills from the movie looks like they were shot in my neighborhood, I can appreciate it. I'll guess we will have to find out a few months down the road if ol Clifford can really act. In the meanwhile, the making of his video "What You Know" airs tonight on BET at 7:30 pm et/pt. Wild as the Taliban, ya'll.

- Tyra Banks was on the set of "The Price Is Right" last Friday along with Bob Barker's old, decrepit nasty ass. If you familiar with the history of all the sexual harassment law suits this man has had in the past you know exactly why I called him that. Be sure to check out a future "Tyra" show for that footage.

- There is a rumor running around that Taraji Henderson is pregnant with Common's child. Of course there are no confirm reports but I highly doubt it.

- I've accidentally left my curling iron plugged up while I was at work, forgot to feed the fish, an' shit like that. Those are accidents. Shooting somebody in the face? Intentional.

- MC Hammer has a new video folks. And its deciated to the girls with "the ebony eyes and thunder thighs." Is that Sisqo in the beginning?! Thanks Essy for showing me this a few days ago.

At The Movies
When is Tyler Perry going to make Madea's Funeral? I'm tired of suffering through these films every time my family decides to get together. Oh well, as long as its not a bootleg of a bootleg copy of "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" (the play version at that) we're cool. You can also catch Tyler on the new cover of Essence along with Lynn Whitfield, Rachelle Aytes, and Lisa Arrindell Anderson.




"The Bitch Is Lying, She's Lying!"


If you have been keeping up with the Blackchelor you are well aware that Hottie aka Shitar got the boot on Sunday. And guess for what? Lies, all blantant lies! I just wish he would get rid of New York now. Bitch looks like Busta Rhymes with a wig on. But it looks like Shitar wasn't the only liar on the show. If you're sleeping on the recaps of Flavor of Love on sohh.com then you need to wake up! The shit is pure genius. Looks like Cherry (Cherry who? Exactly.) seems to also think so - - she has been taking the time to copy and paste all of the recaps from Talkin' Videos on her little profile and try to pass them as her own! Don't trust them new niggas over there ya'll.

Oh yeah, why does Pumkin look like the white hooker from Hustle and Flow? Go Goldie!


remy

What are you doing for Valentine's Day?

I am going to be on tour and I think around then we are in Louisiana. All of the girls that are on the tour bus, we are going to all fly [our boyfriends] out for the day. We went to the website of the town we are going to be in to check out the best restaurants.

What's your best Valentine's Day moment?

Best? It's so sad, I can't think of any best ones. Hopefully this year will be the best.

What's your worst Valentine's Day moment?

The worst, they are all the worst. Either I've just broken up with somebody or I just got with them, so I don't know how to react around the whole Valentine's Day thing. One year I got a diamond bracelet. It was a really nice bracelet. Every other year it was sitting with my friends hating on everyone that you see. It was the worst in high school. You had all those little cornball guys that bought all their girlfriends flowers to school. And I always went out with a wanksta, who could care less. The only flower he was bringing was the weed. I'm one of those that if it doesn't work out for the holiday, I'll dump you that day. It's just a holiday when they get you something. When they get you nothing, it's just a big problem.

Yet even more reasons to love Remy. Scar on her face and all.


Happy Valentine's Day An' Shit!

Before I go any further I would like to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day. May your night be filled with diesease-free sex and chocolate. I went down to the local Wal Mart and picked up enough Mahogany cards for the entire class. Go on, open it! Don't you just love how they incorporate our history into a $.79 card filled with hearts and rage? I know I do.

How Slick Back Got His Groove Back

I'm not the biggest fan of Terrence Howard, so shoot me. I will say that he has been improving lately though. Its amazing what a hair cut can do for some people. Now if someone can just stop him from appearing in every single black film that is released this year then maybe I can learn to like him.



Megan Looks Good!

Each time I see a picture of Megan Good my mind can't help but go back to the little brat she played on Friday. During the years she has developed (no pun intended, perv) into quite a lovely young lady. Her "people's eyebrow" may throw me for a loop sometime but the girl is gorgeous!

Memo To Bow Wow: Shut The Hell Up

Flo' of New York recently reported that So So Def attended a brunch which included a lot of other industry artists. Some from the 60's and some from 2006. In this case, Bow Wow in some strange way came into contact with Ronald Isley of the Isley Brothers. I don't know if Bow Wow had eaten a pack of Ex-Lax before he attended the function, but apparantely he had diarrhea of the mouth. He approaches Ronald Isley with, "My album went gold in it's first week. How many gold albums do you got?" Ronald couldn't believe what he was hearing. But Ronald replied with, "I don't have any gold albums . . . But I got 23 platinum albums." Jermaine Dupri overheard the convo and spree'd over to Bow Wow and told him, "Bow Wow, cool out man. . . You don't even know who you talkin' to right now." MC Serch of WJLB radio replied, "What the hell is wrong wit' Bow Wow?"

Oh I don't think I like your ass at all. Next thing you know this kid is going to be running around saying that him, 50, and Kanye should be the in the Bible. Shut up, shut up, just shut up. Thanks Nisha!

Mary J. Blige Is Pissed, What's New?

Looks like Jamie Foxx better send Mary J. Blige some flowers -- and quick. I hear the R&B diva has been upset with the multitalented Foxx -- whose latest album, "Unpredictable," is topping the charts -- ever since he invited her on his recent NBC special with the promise that if she joined him in their duet from his CD, "Love Changes," she could sing a solo from her own popular album, "The Breakthrough."At the December taping, Blige did the duet and sang the solo "Be Without You" only to learn the terrible truth -- at a viewing party for the Jan. 25 broadcast -- that her solo had ended up on the cutting-room floor.That was bad enough.

But Blige was still ready to suck it up and join Foxx in a performance of "Love Changes" at music mogul Clive Davis' celeb-studded pre-Grammys party at the Beverly Hilton last week.Then Blige discovered that Foxx had enlisted the vocal group Jodeci to perform -- featuring one K-Ci Hailey. Hailey was Blige's boyfriend years ago, before Blige found religion, redeemed her life from cocaine and alcohol addiction and married music exec Kendu Isaacs. Her relationship with Hailey had been publicly tumultuous and emotionally abusive. He remains a painful memory, and Blige had no wish to revive it.

So, before her moment on stage with Foxx, she stormed out of the party, according to witnesses, and "American Idol's" Fantasia was recruited to take her place. A spokesman for Geffen Records, Blige's label, said she left because of an early-morning rehearsal. Foxx's flack, Alan Nierob, was skeptical about the story. "I know that Jamie Foxx adores Mary J. Blige and considers her a very close friend," Nierob told me. Thanks Felicia!


Kanye's White Girl, Ya'll



Normally I could care less about what's going on with Pamela Anderson's mouth (if the walls could talk the stories they would tell!) but this shit is just wrong. I'm with BC on this one, the whole Hepatitis C issue is a little too much for me. I still love the video for "Touch The Sky" but every time I watch it now I will think about her collagen filled smoochers. Speaking of Mr. West, he recently sat down with Playboy to have a candid conversation about homophobia in hip-hop and his addiction to porn and sex.


Kanye also talks about his first sexual experience (he was 17) and why his first-time lover would not meet his approval now. Kanye explains how he's addicted to fit and toned girls right now. "She had great titties, even by my standards today. She had a bit of a gut, though. I wouldn't fuck with that now. Kanye also insists the girls he falls for these days are porn model types, and he likes to test them on first dates by putting his favourite X-rated films on TV when they walk through the door. "That’s one of the old pimp moves: if the girl comes over, have porn playing. If she's like, 'Ugh, hurry up and turn it off. And if she says, Hmm, what's this? then keep it playing."

More Kanye Quotes

"Gold Digger" is straight poetry. It uses profanity, and its fucked-up and funny. It's so perfect and out of the park. I'd like to state this, and fuck whoever tells me I can't word it out loud:'Gold Digger' is one of the biggest songs of our lifetime."

"I might have some cockiness. It's always a conflict: Maybe I'm more self conscious than I am self confident, and self consciousness it what makes me ask 30 different people for their opinions. I overcompensate for my anxieties."

He's right, I can totally see him reading the lyrics to "Gold Digger" alongside Nikki Giovanni and Sonia Sanchez.


Friends! How Many of Us Have Them? Friends!




Nicole Murphy's divorce from Eddie was everything except pretty. But like Whitney said "when you've got friends, to wish you well, you'll find a point whenyou will exhale." So good for him her! Shoop, shoop, shoop.

Michelle Williams To Play HIV-Positive Record Executive

For her first appearance on a sitcom, Destiny's Child singer Michelle Williams didn't exactly choose the easiest role.

Williams, who begins a three-episode HIV storyline on UPN's "Half & Half" Monday, will be balancing silly and serious in playing Naomi Dawson, a record executive who, viewers will eventually discover, is HIV-positive. Despite the tricky balance she had to strike, Williams came away from the experience hungry for more. "It was so much fun. I love it when work is fun," says Williams, whose acting experience also includes "Aida" on Broadway. "I fell in love doing TV. So I want to do some more sitcoms - hopefully some more `Half & Half.'"

Viewers may not immediately fall in love with Williams' character on "Half & Half" - she's a professional rival of Mona (Rachel True), and their interaction is prickly at best. Yet Mona's co-worker and friend Spencer (Chico Benymon) sees something in her, and they end up spending a low-key Valentine's Day together. After working together on a special project, Naomi and Spencer find themselves spending extra time together and getting very comfortable with one another. As the couple grows closer, Naomi unexpectedly begins to back away from the relationship. However, after getting a not-so-subtle push from Mona (Rachel True), who does not approve of the coupling, Naomi reveals to Spencer that she is HIV positive.

The three-episode arc airs in consecutive weeks beginning Monday, February 13 (9:30-10:00 pm, et/pt) on UPN. Thanks Leila for the information and pictures!

Its not easy being an R&B singer. Sure you reach millions of people through your music, tour the world, wear the best designer fashions to elite events, and get tons of free shit. But this all can leave many of our favorite singers exhausted and depleted. So what do you need an order to stay on top of your game? Vitamins! Is this shit FDA approved? What are the side effects?




The Wit & Wisdom of Kimora Lee Simmons

"If you're shy, get the hell over it: You're slamming the door in your own face."

"Be a gold-medal multitasker. You should be able to discuss the new Ludacris video while correcting the merchandising spreadsheets, picking the right shade of snakeskin for next season's mini-purses and catching the dog at the same time!"

"There'd never been a clothing line made by a young woman like me: a multiethnic woman who has one foot in Gucci and one foot in the ghetto." *

"In almost any situation, it is far more devastating to keep your icy cool while the other person gets herself in a flush-cheeked, teary-eyed hot mess yelling in your face."

"Be stingy with your money! Don't splurge at the mall -- and definitely don't give it to your boyfriend!"

"I love when people walk into my house and start grinning, 'This is too much -- this is so you!' Why give people brown cardboard when you can give them embroidered, crystal-flecked organza?"

How to be the most fabulous in the room

- Heels, heels, heels. My motto: 4 inches, no less.

- Carry an extra-large bag in cherry, emerald or orange -- not beige, not camel and definitely not black.

- Wear a dramatic coat that almost demands someone help you put it on and take it off.

- Laugh a lot. It makes everybody wonder if it's more fun to be at your party. *

- Turn up the music in every room you enter.

'Fabulosity' top five foods

- Acal juice. Like pomegranate juice, but even better

- Dark green vegetables like spinach, kale, collard greens, watercress. I fight them sometimes, but really, let's not be babies here. We need this stuff!

- Pre-made smoothies. Those $3 ones you buy at the supermarket

- Dark chocolate. Good for your heart -- in moderation

- Green tea. I have my chef make me pitchers of iced green tea.

* Bitch please.

I always have my personal assistant run to the store to grab green tea for me in the morning. I can't go for myself because I am too busy balancing my world. My one question is how does one stay fab when she is arrested?



The 'Nimpho Baby' of Bobby & Whitney Makes Headlines

Whitney Houston's husband, R&B crooner Bobby Brown, has enough troubles, but he should check out what his kids are up to on the Internet. He might need a tranquilizer after reading the myspace.com profile of his 16-year-old daughter, LaPrincia - whose mom is Brown's ex-girlfriend Kim Ward. . .

Fourteen-year-old Bobby Jr. - also Ward's child - boasts on his myspace.com profile: "i can read but i choose not to." [/quote of the day] Twelve-year-old Bobbi Kristina, Bobby's daughter with Whitney, used the toe-curling screen name "nimpho babby," and wrote: "i love swimmin with hot guys lol (memories), i love makingout, i love cheerleading, i love driving, and last but not least i love BOYS, BOYS, BOYS!!!!!!!!" Her profile was removed recently after bloggers outed her celebrity parentage. (more via D Listed)

I personally think that Microdiddy is a brilliant screen name.

First Look: Waist Deep

Waist Deep follows an ex-con, O2 (Gibson), who is suddenly plunged into a life-or-death situation. Trying to go straight for the sake of his young son Junior, O2 is forced to go back outside the law when Junior is kidnapped in a carjacking. His son is now in the hands of a vicious criminal leader, Meat (The Game). O2's shady cousin Wanna Be (Tate) is caught between loyalties, and so the only person who can or will help O2 now is wily street-smart hustler Coco (Good). With the clock ticking down, the heat between them rises as they become a lawbreaking couple, on an action-packed tear through town to save Junior and outwit the underworld.

The Game's character name is Meat. . . Meat, ya'll. Check out pictures from the movie at Blackfilm.com. Thanks Wilson!

kanyethorn"Excuse me sir. Could you please get off the cellphone?" he told one member of the media who wasn't paying attention. "I'm here." He later mocked another who came from Mexico City, asking him to "speak English." West blamed his cockiness on "the drink." "Bono had this wine backstage. 'This is the best wine Kanye,'" West said in an Irish accent.

West, who made it no secret that he felt he deserved the bulk of awards, said he wasn't disappointed with his haul of three Grammys. He lost the one he coveted most -- album of the year -- to U2. "It's all good," he said. "U2, those are my boys. I didn't think it was going to happen because of vote splitting. "I didn't win it by a technicality, not because I didn't deserve it. Even Bono was like 'Come on.' Everybody knows it." (more)

- Beyonce seemed as if she had a lot on her mind last night at the Pink Panther premiere. I hope everything is alright. She will be sitting by her boyfriend tomorrow night at the Grammy's, big shock. I can't wait to see the "I don't get it" look that comes across her face at every ceremony.

- Kanye + Fantasia? I don't know about that.

Jawn Murray Can't Say Names But One of You Did!

Yesterday BV ran a very obvious blind item on a well known author. I was tipped off via email to just who it was. Check it:

The bestselling author in question is none other than Eric Jerome Dickey and homeboy puts the deadbeat in deadbeat dad. Don't you know this dirty rotten scoundrel tried to deny paternity and made the mother fly all the way from where she lived on the East coast to Los Angeles to get a DNA test, which proved without a doubt that he is the child's father. As if the pint-size mirror image of himself wasn't enough. Not that he would know, unfortunately, as he has only seen the child twice since she has been born--she is four years old now.

Eric Jerome Dickey is consistently late with this child support payments but he lives in an upscale neighborhood in LA in a house just shy of a million dollars and alternates between driving his BMW and Mercedes. Now EJD wants to take the mother to court to give sole custody to her and have nothing to do with the child. Is that a punk bitch move or what? The child's mom doesn't want to put her name or her daughter's name in the street just yet, but this story is legit. Anyway, girl, I just had to share this with you. Niggas need to be damn shame of themselves. Talk about black on black crime.

One Time For The Kids

You know, I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and then let them lead the way. Fresh love the kids, it's just their parents I have issues with. Marquis Jackson a.k.a. 25 Cent and Ming & Aoki Lee Simmons took part in the Child Magazine 2006 fashion show last night. Michael Jackson was also on hand to lend his support. I'm just bullshitting. I hope PETA didn't try to attack the Simmon girls with red paint. You know those bitches are crazy when it comes to fur. And 25 Cent? For fear of my life, no comment.

On A Serious Note: Anti-Gay Church To Picket King's Funeral

The virulently anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kansas, announced Feb. 3 that it would picket the funeral of civil rights icon Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King Jr. Coretta Scott King died Jan. 30 at a medical facility in Mexico. Her funeral is set for Tuesday in Atlanta.

Mrs. King's funeral is set for Feb. 7 from noon to 3 p.m. at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, a suburb of Atlanta, officials with the King Center have confirmed. It is expected to attract thousands of mourners.Westboro Baptist Church, headed by Fred Phelps and known for its "God Hates Fags" signs carried at protests, said it is picketing the funeral because Mrs. King believed in equality for gay people.

Mrs. King's longstanding support for gay issues included speaking out publicly against a proposed federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. She was also a vocal supporter of HIV/AIDS awareness. (more)

Please feel free to discuss this issue in the comment section. However, please keep in mind that ingorance has no place at this site. Thanks Teddy for sending me this information.


Tupac Gets Waxed

Legendary rap star Tupac Shakur is set to be immortalized in wax by the talented sculptors at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Los Angeles. The slain rapper's statue will be erected as part of the 'On Stage' exhibition, and will capture Tupac wearing his signature bandanna, as well as displaying his multiple body tattoos.

His statue will stand besides the likes of Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger, and Prince. The exhibition will be audio-enabled, allowing visitors to listen to his greatest hits will admiring the work. Adrian Jones, a Madame Tussauds spokesman tells AllHipHop.com, "We have received more requests from the public to immortalise Tupac than any other rap star. It is fitting that he will be the central figure in our new On Stage attraction, which will offer the public a new high-tech system for enjoying the music of all the stars in the attraction."

Nigga Please

"Believe it or not, I'm the only black man in America who has never seen 'The Parkers.' I didn't know who she was -- I'll be honest -- before she came on the show." - Dr. Ian Smith from "Celebrity Fit Club" on Countess Vaughn (source).

Nah, really? Negro tells us something we already didn't know.

- Pam Anderson doesn't want Rhonetta Janice Combs' dead shit touching her

- Check out the 'Negro of the Day' getting his groove on in the studio. Yeah he's got a club banger on his hands, it's fire. Thanks Mymorex09!



Just Break Up Already, Shit!

A few months ago on "Jimmy Kimmel Live", DC3 claimed that would be their last televised performance and nobody really gave a shit. The girls have now been invited to perform live at the NBA All Star game this year, singing the national anthem before tip-off. The NBA is billing the performace at the game as the final time the group will perform together, yeah right. Quick, can a lawyer please draw up some paperwork that legal binds them to that?

As you can see, Mama Tina and Beyonce are currently gracing the cover of Life magazine for a feature titled "I Raised A Rock Star." That bitch stole my usher uniform for church to take that picture! *shakes fist* Here's an excerpt from the article:

Beyonce: "We can drive each other crazy, but when that happens, it's time for her to go home! The only thing we argue about is clothes [they have a clothing line together, House of Dereon]. But we can't stay mad for long. If I say something crazy to her or she says something crazy to me and we hang up mad, a minute later one of us is calling to apologize."

Tina: "I've taught her that your family comes first. When you go home, you don't have all the glamour. You just have to live with yourself . . . I hope Beyonce can slow down so she can give me some grandchildren! Beyonce needs to have a baby now!"

Beyonce: "Has she mentioned that she wants grandchildren?"

R.Kelly Hits The Road On New Tour

He's known as the R., a.k.a. Kells, a.k.a. the Pied Piper, a.k.a. the King of R&B, and R. Kelly needs more aliases. He's feeding the public one more at least: Mr. Show Biz. On Friday (February 3) Kelly announced plans for what he's calling his Light It Up Tour, which he's headlining as "Mr. Show Biz."

As to what adopting the nickname Mr. Show Biz means, his label reps said they weren't sure. Kelly hasn't told them yet. He also hasn't announced whether or not he'll have any opening acts. The only thing the singer is disclosing is the itinerary -- whose string of small-venue gigs makes this his first theater tour since 2001 -- and the fact that he'll have a live band with him. Tickets for select shows are already on sale. (more via Rich)

Reviews For Something New Are Pretty Fresh

"While not a laugh-out-loud comedy, Something New offers enough moments of genuine humor mixed in with the predictable pathos, thanks in part to its adept ensemble cast."- Mack Bates, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Something New is directed, written and produced by African-American women [, and] their sensibility infuses this otherwise frothy story with a shot of reality." - Sean Means, Salt Lake Tribune

"Emotionally satisfying and rings exceedingly true." - Dustin Putman, The Movieboy.com

+ Don't forget to tune into Oprah today to catch her interview with Dave Chappelle!

Let us pray. Heavenly Father, please do not let one of Aretha's breast decide to break free during her performance. Amen. Just kidding (but then again I'm not). Are you ready for some football? I know I'm not. I could really care less since I will be tuning in strictly for the commercials. If someone was to ask me right now what teams will be playing on Sunday I couldn't tell them. Its a damn shame.

Soul Train Music Awards Announces Nominees

I gave up all hope for the Soul Train related award shows when Amerie received the Aretha Franklin award.

R. Kelly leads the list of nominees for the 20th annual Soul Train Music Awards, announced today (Feb. 2) by Tyrese and actress Vivica Fox at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills, Calif. Kelly's three nominations include two for his "Trapped in the Closet" saga (best R&B/soul single, male and best R&B/soul or rap video) and best male R&B/soul album for "TP.3 Reloaded.

Among the other multiple nominees are Mariah Carey, Charlie (last name) Wilson, John Legend, Keyshia Cole, Missy Elliott and the Black Eyed Peas. Newcomer Chris Brown scored his first Soul Train nomination in the best R&B/soul or rap new artist category. Kelly will also receive the first-ever Stevie Wonder Award for outstanding career achievements in songwriting by Wonder himself. Quincy Jones will present the Quincy Jones Award for outstanding career achievements to Destiny's Child and Jamie Foxx. The evening's other special honoree will be John Legend, who will receive the Sammy Davis Jr. Award for entertainer of the year. (more via Cake and Ice Cream)

Why do they break down the hip hop and R&B categories but can't do the same thing for gospel? I'm just saying. Speaking of gospel . . .

Bow Wow vs. Lil' Romeo

In the most ridiculous shit since The Black Panthers making hot sauce, Lil' Romeo has declared war on Bow Wow. On the track "Hoodstar" Romeo barks up Bow Wow's tree (sorry, I had to do it) by saying "poppin in grills and they think they getting toughter/trying to take off their shirts and ain't getting buffer." The track is allegedly an answer to Bow Wow's "Freshazimiz." Are these two little niggas serious? This beef is like the kid who everyone played basketball with who whines and takes the ball home when he loses - - totally unnecessary. As publicity driven as it was, Cam's beef is more legit than this. To take a listen for yourself visit Beautiful Hustle.

+ If you are a listener at Honey Soul's show Soul 2 Soul on Project Vibe, yes that was me! I'm sorry I didn't alrt you guys sooner :( But it is never too late to begin listening to both Project Vibe (Hi Elliott!) and Honey Soul!

More Fun With Black History

Yes, your eyes are not telling you false tales. That is the man, the myth, the drug abuser, the muthafuckin' legend Mr. Bobby Brown! Don't hate him because people tell him all the time he looks like Beyonce. *blinks* Rich has tons of more beautiful black celebrities from the 90's that you should check out. And please believe that I am going to print this out, color it, and sing the lyrics to Ciara's "And I" to it.

If you don't already know, MTV's My Own is a delicious piece of H.A.M. Here's a little information on the show:

With the help of two friends, one lucky fan will have the opportunity to question, inspect and audition an assorted selection of wannabe pop-stars hand-picked by MTV. Our uber-fan will inspect the 6 pop star wannabes, searching for the one who looks, sounds, and acts most like their celebrity obsession. After a series of challenges and eliminations, three finalist square off, performing one of the superstar's hit songs. In the end the wannabe that best embodies the look and feel of the dream celeb will be the one our super-fan calls MY OWN. . . .

Fan-tab-u-lous! I think that MTV overlooked a couple of people, so here's a list that I am thinking about submitting:

- Whitney Houston (for obvious reasons)
- Jim Jones
- Samuel L. Jackson
- Trina
- Al Reynolds
- Tevin Campbell
- Bootsie Collins

Blu Cantrell and Tara Reid Almost Exchange Blows

I know you are thinking "WTF?"right now and you are not alone in the least bit. What is there to fight about? How irrelevant the other has become over the years? Here are the details:

Apparently, there's some "beef" between Tara and Blu, a source close to the situation tells PerezHilton.com exclusively. Miss Reid stormed over to our pal Pantera, a noted party promoter in Los Angeles, and demanded that she kick Blu and her friends away from her table and out of the club. "Tara told Pantera not to serve Blu and her friends," says our source. "They used to be friends, but they have been feuding for a long time now." The Grammy-nominated songstress was appalled by Tara's sophomoric behavior but not to the point where she was above it all. With a snide remark handy, Cantrell told Reid that she was "a fake titty bitch" and left. Fierce!

"Blu was ready to kick her in her tits, but her friends had to calm her down. Tara's lucky she just got some nasty words spit in her face," adds the source. Damn, she should have deflated her tatas!! (more)
