Will Star Jones Leave "The View" In September?

Rosie O' Donnell and Star Jones don't exactly send flowers to one another on their birthdays. Star has been the butt of many of Rosie's jokes in the past, especially concerning her rapid weight loss. This is going to be pretty damn interesting to see how things play out between the two. Some people are speculating that Star will be resigning from the show in September since that will be the same month her contract with ABC is up. We'll just have to see how things play out.

. . . In the interview, which was mainly to promote a documentary she had done for HBO about a cruise for gay parents and their children, Ms. O'Donnell was asked by Diane Sawyer to free associate in response to the names of several celebrities, including Tom Cruise. When given only "Star Jones" as a prompt, Ms. O'Donnell responded, "An interesting woman on many levels," before looking directly at the camera, raising an eyebrow and laughing.

"I don't wish her any ill will," Ms. O'Donnell said, before adding: "I think it's very hard for everyone to participate in the illusion she presents as her truth." "You mean about the weight loss?" Ms. Sawyer interjected, an apparent reference to the radical change of late in Ms. Jones Reynolds's appearance, as well as, perhaps, her recent medical treatment for complications following a plastic surgery procedure.

"Well," Ms. O'Donnell responded, "whatever."

Melyssa Ford At ESPN's Pre-Draft Celebration




Melyssa Ford has been looking a lot like the black Tara Reid lately and that's not a good thing. Seriously, doesn't she look like that one friend we all have that gets trashed everytime they set foot in the club? And that I'll-take-your-ass-down-to-Chinatown quick weave isn't helping the cause by any means. If she's going to go for that crazy, crackhead in the morning look she's hit it right on the head. Even the people around her look nutty. Hated it!

50 Cent Sounds Off On Oprah

Ya man 5-0 is the latest rapper to sound off about his beef Oprah . . . and I doubt he'll be the last. Shit, I expect a "Fuck Oprah Radio" mixtape cd hosted by DJ Drama by the end of May.

He usually saves his beefs for other rappers; this time, 50 Cent is going after Oprah Winfrey. In an interview with The Associated Press, 50 complained that Winfrey rarely invites rappers on her talk show: "I think she caters to older white women. Oprah's audience is my audience's parents," the 29-year-old rapper said. "So, I could care less about Oprah or her show."

He's not alone in his resentment toward the talk show host cum media mogul. Rapper-actor Ludacris, aka Chris Bridges, said in the May issue of GQ magazine that Winfrey was "unfair" during a show he appeared on last October with co-stars from best-picture Oscar winner "Crash." (continue)

Now I can see where Fiddy is coming from but if he didn't care about Oprah then why would he even talk about her? Boy stop.

Could This Be The Beautiful Beginning of Tylra?

Tyra Banks may be well on her way on the I-got-some-delicious-penis-last-night-so-Chernobyl-could-happened-and-I-wouldn't-care road to happiness. And for that I am happy for her.

MediaTakeOut.com has learned that model and TV talk show host Tyra Banks has finally landed the man of her dreams - the famed writer/director Tyler Perry. According to recent reports, for the last month Tyra has been chasing Perry around the country in an attempt to get his attention. Now finally Tyra appears to have gotten through to the cross-dressing comic. In recent photos taken at a Los Angeles eatery, the new power couple is seen kissing during a romantic dinner. And a pal of the America's Next Top Model host wasn't shy in explaining to MediaTakeOut.com exactly how Tyra managed to snag the eligible bachelor. She told us, "Tyra was relentless, she saw him - she went after him - and now she has him." She went on to say that "Tyler has really fallen for her, he's already considering relocating to Los Angeles [from Atlanta]." (continue)

Tyra and Tyler (gosh that sounds so sweet) have been linked for months now. I just hope that she wasn't really chasing his ass around the damn country. I promise you that its not that serious. I guess that white boy she was smooching is long gone. *makes a phone with fingers*

Whenever I see Alicia Keys I think about of three of things: First that Audrina girl from 'College Hill', then Proactiv, and last but not least that fucking "Unbreakable" song. Here are some pictures of Alicia on the set of her movie "The Nanny Diaries", which looks like its going to be incredibly corny. Like on some 'The Babysitters Club - The Series' type shit. I hope she does a great job though!

Omaroacha Talks About Her New Titties, TomKat, And Everything In Between

The ubiquitous Omarosa Manigault Stallworth told BV Buzz that while she's not ready to tender her crown as the Queen of Reality Television, there is one title she just conceded. "I have officially relinquished my title as the president of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee," she boasted over dinner at Clyde's of Gallery Place in Washington, D.C.

Wearing a low-cut red and yellow gown by NuMe designer Victoria Shaffer, Omarosa proudly showed off her new bodacious bosom. "For the first time in my life, I have cleavage," she said smiling, before admonishing: "Stop looking at my cleavage!" After my apology, she added that this was the first time she had cleavage that she didn't have to manipulate herself before leaving the house."Cleavage that is not constructed by a Victoria's Secret pushup bra, silicone cutlet inserts or taping my boobs together. I'm so happy to have natural cleavage," she said.

Her transformation from "a negative A-cup" to a "full voluptuous C-cup" was documented for television and will appear on a forthcoming episode of the Discovery Health series 'Plastic Surgery: Before & After.' Omarosa's mother, Theresa Manigault, is also featured on the series. "I treated my mother to a total makeover. The makeover of her dreams," Omarosa added.

Drama, Drama, and More Drama

Now, this is some crazy s**t! I'm getting word that the esteemed members of the Parks family are on a crusade (led by her nephew) to have Proof's body removed from Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery Chapel where she is buried because its presence is "disrespectful to her memory." "I don't see the appropriateness of someone like this young rapper being buried with Rosa Parks," William McCauley told freep.com. "She was a person of nonviolence and obviously this young rapper had a different creed when it comes to resolving issues." He never explicitly said he wanted Proof removed, but that's what's in circulation with the rumors. I can't call it, but I’m certainly not in a position to judge. When I go, he's not moving me - I'll haunt him for real! (AHH Rumors)

Jade managed to evaporate my snatch during judging with all that damn talking. They even did a special Jade dictionary on the recap show (thanks Da Real!). I want her "exotic bi-racial butterfly" ass to flap her wings all the way back to America. I also had a hard time looking at Miss Jay since I kept thinking about Nikki's song, ha ha.

"Keyshia Cole: Countdown to Obscurity" - Rich



On Monday evening (April 24) BET Networks announced its new approach and programming lineup during its BET Upfronts event at the Manhattan Center Studios in New York City. After introducing Reginald Hudlin as the new President of BET, the network didn't waste any time in making its renewed loyalty to its viewers crystal clear.

"The Black audience does not want to be treated like a late night booty call," * said Hudlin, as he steadily paced like a general on stage Monday. That said, the network rolled out previews to its newest programs, which include a healthy slate of reality-based shows.

The first reality-based show BET introduced will center around the quickly rising R&B star Keyshia Cole. Startime with Cole will capture the personality and soul of the young Oakland songbird, as she further promotes her career. In addition the show will feature exclusive footage of Cole on tour with the likes of Kanye West and R. Kelly.

The second reality show BET previewed Monday night was, DMX: Soul of a Man, which captures the fierce rap superstar in the hot desert of Arizona, as he spends time with his children, speaks to cowboys and oh yea. . . drives fast.
(continue) Thanks Roni!

This is going to be interesting. Between DMX praying and crying every 15 minutes to Keyshia buying weed on camera. Negros start your Tivo's!

Terry Gives Advice To New Grads, Says Not To Pity The Fool

Famous for her no-nonsense writing, best-selling novelist and single mom Terry McMillan now plays guidance counselor in a book for freshly hatched high school grads. In It's OK if You're Clueless and 23 More Tips for the College Bound, tip No. 3 is: "Don't listen to your parents. If for any reason they don't like the path you've chosen, tough nuggies."

As for her fellow baby boomer parents, she states emphatically in a phone interview, "Back off!" The author who created the feisty black women characters in Waiting to Exhale based Clueless on a commencement speech she gave at her son Solomon's 2002 graduation from a Berkeley, Calif., Catholic high school . . .

McMillan's book, out next Tuesday (Viking, $12.95), joins the graduation gift book genre. Clueless is McMillan's first foray into non-fiction. She plans to follow it up with a memoir titled Don't Pity the Fool, which will address the "whole ordeal" of her very public and extremely messy divorce from her Jamaican-born husband, Jonathan Plummer. (USA Today)

And so Chapter 25 of 'Trapped In The Closet' begins. All I know is Mr. T better receive some type of credit.

Ah Hell, Not You Too

A spokesman for Chris Rock said the comedian hired celebrity private eye Anthony Pellicano to investigate a model who claimed he was the father of her unborn child, according to a published report. Rock's representative, Matt Labov, confirmed that the comedian's representatives hired Pellicano after Hungarian model Monika Zsibrita made the allegation in 1999, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.

Zsibrita, 33, was named in a February indictment as a victim of an alleged wiretapping and racketeering conspiracy on behalf of A-list Hollywood attorneys and other prominent clients. An indictment accuses Pellicano of using his connections with a police detective to illegally run a background check on Zsibrita on July 30, 1999.

Pellicano has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Rock was separated from his wife when he met Zsibrita. The outcome of the paternity case was unclear because it was sealed by a private judge. Labov said that no one associated with Rock had any idea the private investigator would illegally access police files, as federal authorities have alleged.

And They Say . . .




In a MediaTakeOut.com exclusive interview, an Atlanta woman claims to have engaged in three way sex with rapper Tip "T.I." Harris and Nikki "Hoopz" Alexander (from VH1's hit series Flavor Of Love).The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, is a dancer in a number of popular hip-hop music videos.

She claims to have met up with the rapper and Hoopz last week at an Atlanta nightclub. According to the woman, Hoopz, who has been reportedly dating T.I., immediately struck up a conversation with her. She explained, "I felt like Hoopz was trying to pick me up, but I wanted T.I. - so I was cool with it." When it was time to leave the club, T.I. suggested that the two women join him at his suburban mansion for an "after party."

On the way there, things began to heat up when all three began kissing and groping each other. And according to the woman, "as soon as we walked in the door, I took off T.I.'s clothes and [performed oral sex on him]." "Hoopz wasn't expecting all of that & she was shy at first" explained the woman, "but after a few minutes she got into it too." The three went on to have a marathon sex session which lasted for more than two hours. (continue)

Take this with a grain of salt no doubt. Ugh, ain't enough tea in China or Murray's pomade in Slickback's possession for me to get loose with T.I. and Hoopz ain't no better. Isn't she married, WTF? To wit the esteemed words of those great negro poets the Ying Yang Twins, "I say ewww that's nasty, nigga if you wanna eat it you can have it." Visit Cake and Ice Cream for recent flicks of the two.

PSA: Remember Kids Like Diamonds, Herpes Are Forever

A woman who charged in a lawsuit that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease has agreed to an undisclosed resolution of the case, his attorney said Monday. "The case has been resolved," attorney Lawrence Woodward said.

When asked if the details of the agreement between Vick and the woman, Sonya Elliott, would be disclosed, Woodward said: "The only comment I've got is the case has been resolved."

Elliott, a 26-year-old health care worker, claimed she tested positive for herpes after unprotected sex with Vick in April 2003. In the complaint, filed in Gwinnett County State Court, Elliott contended that Vick "apologized profusely" for failing to disclose he was infected with the disease, which can be treated but not cured. The lawsuit also claimed Vick used the alias "Ron Mexico" when seeking treatment for the disease.

I'll admit before this whole herpes situation came up I thought Mike Vick was cute. But now? Hell to the nah.

I caught my first glance of Wafah in the January issue of GQ. Looka like a man, I know.

This is actually wonderful for John. Now he can make the soul remix to "Hustlin" by Rick Ross. I know Wafah . . . Dufour Bin Laden/ the real neice of Bin Laden. See that's why I talk shit about people and not rap, ha ha. Whip it, whip it real hard.

Russell Simmons is not a one-woman man. After conspicuously making the rounds a couple of nights with 23-year-old model Denise Vasi, Simmons was on the prowl Thursday night.

WWJD? I Don't Think He Would Have An Orgy With Random People

Our savior Jamie Foxx has been looking for some ladies to have a little fun with. I guess he wants to "beat it, beat it, bea-beat it" while he is on vacation.

. . . Before he went on to play, he asked a flunky to clear away any men from the front of the crowd and replace them with women.And after he got the screaming ladies eating out of his hand, he selected four - including an Italian and a South American - to escort him to his private lair backstage.

Beefy minders stood guard in front of the locked door to the opulent V-VIP room, which had four double beds covered with red velvet sheets, strewn with rose petals. To complete the saucy setting, the secret chamber - filled with bottles of Cristal champagne - was lit with dodgy red lights.For over an hour, no one was allowed to disturb the love-in and when we cheekily asked what was happening, a flunky replied: "What goes on in the boudoir, stays in the boudoir. When you're Jamie Foxx on top of the world - you can get anything you want.

Good Black Don't Crack!

On Sunday at 10 p.m., TV One will air a one-hour special dealing with the exploding field of black plastic surgery. "Black Don't Crack: The Cosmetic Surgery Debate" offers an historical perspective on the subject, including the way in which European standards of beauty have become a yardstick used by some African Americans to measure their own physical features. "I would say that over the next ten years, the fastest-growing segment of people in the U.S. that are pursuing cosmetic surgery are people of African descent," says Dr. Monte Harris, co-founder of Cultura Medical Spa in Washington D.C. and one of several experts featured in the documentary.

"It's a phenomenal time that we're in now with regards to cosmetic and plastic surgery," he continues. "I think our definition of plastic surgery has broadened to include skin care, complexion blending, laser treatments, and also the traditional sort of knife-cutting procedures."

Jada may go all into rocker mode but I don't know if she can take that bitch on. Anyway, being on vacation didn't stop Will from crashing a party:

He never got an invitation and he certainly didn't R.S.V.P., but that didn't stop Will Smith from crashing Atir Cohen's bar mitzvah at Jerusalem's Western Wall. Cohen, 13, was deep into his Torah reading Thursday when he heard shouting and saw girls pushing against the barrier separating men from women at the holy site to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood superstar."At first I didn't know who it was," Cohen said. Smith compensated for the interruption by shaking the bar mitzvah boy's hand and posing for a picture with him. (MSN)

04.21.06 Music Notes



The self-proclaimed "People's Champ" Paul Wall and his wife Crystal have given birth to a baby boy. William "Fat" Patrick Slayton was brought into the world Tuesday (April 18) at 11:33 a.m. The birth comes amid speculation that Wall and Crystal, whom he married in October 2005, were headed for divorce, but Wall assured otherwise. "Me and my wife have been together a long time," Paul Wall told AllHipHop.com. "Every trip has its bumps in the road. Our relationship is a journey. We're not giving up anytime soon. We're doing great." (AHH)

Ludacris Explains Fued With Miss Sophia

The rapper-turned-actor was miffed when he went on her show to promote "Crash" and got severely edited because Winfrey has a rule of not promoting rap or rappers. "She edited out a lot of my comments while keeping her own in," Ludacris told GQ. "Of course, it's her show, but we were doing a show on racial discrimination, and she gave me a hard time as a rapper when I came on there as an actor. I don't see why people like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle, who I am huge fans of, it's OK for them to go on 'Oprah.' They speak the same language as I do, but they do it through comedy, so I guess that's acceptable." (New York Post)

Jesus, Joseph, Mary, and K-Ci. I thought this shit was over. I think that maybe Oprah needs to invite Luda back on her show again so they can really talk this time.

Mimi Inks New Deal With Pepsi

After spending a busy 2005 dominating the music charts, Mariah Carey will kick back with a Pepsi this spring under a new partnership that will see the singer star in a new commercial as well as write and record original ringtones that will be available exclusively through a Pepsi Cool Tones & Motorola Phones promotion. "I had a lot of fun with this project," Carey said in a statement. “It was a great creative outlet because musically I could do things here that I would never think to do for one of my albums. This was a great idea by Pepsi, and I'm happy to be a part of it." The promotion allows users the opportunity to download more than 100 original ringtones created specifically for the program by a host of popular artists, including 20 original voice and music tones written and produced by Carey. Additional information about the promotion can be found on http://www.pepsismash.com. (Eurweb)

I can't wait to see the commercials for this. She is probably going to do that "hand thing" all throughout it in a pair of Ms. New Booty shorts.

America's Next Top Model pissed me off for more reasons than one last night. My main beef wasn't with Jade and all that fake crying. What the fuck was her Mom doing? I took a pee break and I came back and she was doing some spirit fingers shit. What happened? Anyway, I don't like this whole Danielle closing her gap shit one bit. Personally I think it kinda helps set her apart from the other contestants. I see what they are saying but I don't think its necessary. Hell, I'm sure there are a lot of people like me who think its fly. I remember one of my boys from the Virgin Island was telling me about a girl he had a crush on having one her thought that her's was sexy. That other girl's grill was another story! Brooke also finally got the boot. See more pictures from the episode at CL and UPN.

Don't forget the final episode of Lil Kim: Countdown to Lockdown airs tonight! Its amazing to me that I've seen Kim's camel toe, breast, and bad plastic surgery but never her real hair. I guess that is why BET is on some "see Kim like never before" shit.


Bill Maher Is A Great Dick Dealer

Bill's loving is apparently so good Karrine doesn't want another man in her life.

Vixen's 'Confessions': Maher a 'Super' lover Karrine Steffans says she's gotten it on with Usher, Diddy, Vin Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal and Ja Rule, among other famous men. But when it comes to satisfying her as a woman, no one compares with comic Bill Maher.

"It took a lot to impress me," the best-selling author of "Confessions of a Super Vixen" tells us. "Bill was my perfect match. [Love-making] was explosive and amazing. I've never been with someone who couldn't keep his hands off me."And it wasn't just the passion. "He made me a better person. I never expected fidelity and commitment from Bill Maher, but we saw each other every day, and he reached out to include my son."As much as she was learning from her 50-year-old "daddy," Steffans, 27, says she began to feel "like I was just becoming his girlfriend. I needed to explore." (continue reading)

Our friend Karrine is also pissed about the DVD of her and Mr. Marcus being released. "That was six years ago, when I was a coke whore. I was a single mom. I needed money. Vivid makes it look like it's a new tape. They're using my current picture and a book title without my permission. If anyone profits from this film, I want my cut, which I will donate to charity," said Karrine. Now we all know that charity starts at home! She should be upset that her hairstylist fucked her hair game up on Oprah. Let's focus on the real issue here Superhead.


K-Ci Speaks Out About Mary J. Blige



Vibe: What is your response to the new video that Mary is doing with 50 cent?

K-Ci: That's crazy. After all this time she's making a video about me and her? I haven't seen the video. But I've heard about it. It's supposed to be about a time in our life when we were supposed to get married. I never said I was going to marry her.

Vibe: So you two were never engaged to jump the broom? Did you ever give her a ring?

K-Ci: Yes I gave her a ring, not because I wanted to marry her. I gave her a ring after she came off tour and she kept hinting around that she wanted a ring. I never agreed to marry Mary J. We never talked about starting a family or anything like that. We were not as serious as people thought.

Vibe: So, she thought that the two of you were getting married?

K-Ci: Right. That was all in her head. I was young and living my life. I didn't want to be anybody's husband. I was young and living wild. I was celebrating everyday and partying and hooking up with different women. I wasn't ready to settle down with anybody. Mary knew that. She knew I cared about her but she also knew that I wasn't going to be tied down to her. She accepted that and continued to call me and come around me even at times I didn't want her around me. I would tell Mary over and over to go and find a man that is ready to settle down and play hubby. (read entire interview - - Thanks Bony T)

Jamie Foxx, Our Savior

Actor-turned-singer Jamie Foxx has announced he is going to rescue the R&B music scene. The multi-talented star's 2005 album Unpredictable took the U.S. by storm, and now the confident Academy Award winner claims he will save the charts from bland soul releases.

Foxx enthuses, "I am the savior. I'm definitely going out there will my mic and my shield to declare, 'I am here to save R&B.' I will have the people saying, 'Sire, there is a man at the musical gates saying he is here to save R&B." (Star Pulse via SOHH Soulful)

You give a man a Soul Train award and he thinks he is actually doing something. I'm pretty sure that Jamie was joking around when he said this though. . . or at least I hope he was.

What do you think about today's R&B scene? Holla back. As you can see it's a pretty slow day, ha ha. I need you.


Rumor Control: What's Up With Hoopz and T.I.?



Hoopz and T.I. have allegedly been spotted all over ATL together. Please note that there is some audio that will start playing when you click on the link. During the time they have spent together they have managed to hit up Grand Hustle's CEO Jason Geter's birthday bash, Nelly's Overtime party, and most recently Fox Sports Bar. Apparently somebody must've "chirped shawty chirped" Tiny's ass about what was going down and she came through with some of her crew. I bet you it was just that chick from Georgia Peach and an some random friend. Tiny never did get a chance to confront Hoopz though since they left shortly after she entered the bar.

I'm just sayin, check out that body! Who wouldn't want that? Ha ha.


And Now A Post That Will Surely Put You In A Lethargic Trance



I see the struggle still continues. Will Dame ever break free? Who knows. Who cares may be a better question. It's only a matter of time until he permanently looks like this. Rachel is looking bored like a muthafucka too. Their facial expressions along with the way they are posing for the camera reminds me of Easter '92. It was a hot muggy ass day and my crazy Mama insisted that my brother and I take 492 pictures. She never did develop that damn film now that I think about it. See more pictures from the Prada event at Cake and Ice Cream.

I'm going to take this time out to swagger jack D-Listed and make Dame's dad the hot slut of the day. This flick is from a few months back and well . . . I couldn't resist.


Nippy Packs Her Bags For Rehab Again . . . Or So Tina Brown Says

Whitney Houston has again checked into a drug treatment center in a desperate bid to kick her tragic addiction to crack cocaine, The ENQUIRER has learned. Shockingly, her hubby Bobby Brown was kept in the dark about Whitney's whereabouts for several days.

According to his sister Tina Brown, Bobby returned to his home in Alpharetta, Ga., on April 14, after a performance tour and found Whitney was missing. "At first he thought she was just off on another drug binge," Tina told The ENQUIRER. "It took a few days for him to find out from Whitney's family that they had talked her into going into rehab -- and a few more days to get an answer about which treatment center she was in. All Bobby told me is that she is in treatment, in a secluded place."

Bobby and Whitney's daughter, 13-year-old Bobbi Kristina, is being cared for by Whitney's brother Gary Houston and his wife Pat, who live in the Alpharetta area, said Tina.

Hey Mama

This month's Essence features a nice spread of stars and their mothers. Kelly Rowland, Kanye West, Rachel Atkins, and Rachel True all write sweet letters to the number one women in their life. Here's a snippet of Kelly's:

God must've thought I was really special to give me two mothers. It meant so much that you believed in me. When we had rough times in Houston, you did your best to balance our family with your job as a live-in nanny. And I know it was difficult for you to run back and forth for rehearsals after I joined Destiny's Child. I spent a lot of nights at the Knowleses' house. Soon a month turned into a year, then years. You came by everyday, though, and cooked dinner, and we'd all eat as a family. It was because of your strength and sacrifice that I was able to dream so big.

And Mama T, you took extra time to rehearse with me when I got my first lead song at 12. My voice was so small then, and you'd tell me to 'sing up,' just the way my momma did. You've taught me so much about following my gut, honoring my boundaries, and keeping an eye out for red flags in my relationships. It doesn't matter if the question is business or professional, I know you'll always have the answer.Your spirit is so sweet, and your wisdom is endless.

I love you both so much. You're my heroes, my best friends. I can't thank you enough for grooming me into the woman I am today. Now I want you both to be comfortable and happy and never have to want for anything--and I can't wait to give you some grandkids!

Love,
Kelly

Aww, isn't that sweet. My God says go call your Mom now.


Rumor Control



According to you guys Friday on the Wendy Williams Experience a rumor was leaked that Eddie Murphy and Superhead have been spotted together. So what's the big deal? Well allegedly the creep was purposely done to put to rest the downlow rumors. Many folks are saying that Eddie is asking for trou-ble, trou-ble. If this is true you can probably expect to read about it when she decided to write another tell all book.

Special Screening of Shadowboxer





Dame, Dame & Rachel, Boogie & Dame, and Andre Harrell (LOL again)

Denzel Washington, Lionel Richie, and Lenny Kravitz (who also hosted) were among the crowd that came out to watch a special screening of Shawdowboxer. Cynthia Garrett and her son (pictured above with director Lee Daniels) were also in attendance. The Dash gang came out as well, ha ha. It's been a while since I've seen them out but they're still hanging in there.


Mary J. Blige - Enough Cryin' Video



Thank the Lord for YouTube because without it I wouldn't know what's going on. I told you Hype Williams was going to do one of these numbers too. The video wasn't what I expected. . . which is a good thing. No Fiddy! Anyway, what do you think of the new video?


Tip #38 For A More Fabulostic You



After throwing your lavish soiree you are probably facing a little problem - - what in the name of Roberto Cavalli and all that is holy are you going to do with that leftover champagne? When face with problems as big as this you should ask yourself one simple question, what would Kimora do?

Now it all makes sense for that morning foot soak.

Ha ha, thanks Leila for the pictures. I'm not sure how old they are but they make me laugh. The phrase "let them eat cake" immediately came to mind. For the record Kimora will never be as fabulostic as Bryan Boy, never.


Bobbi Kristina Loves The Camera



Despite all the negativity that has been in the air about Nippy lately its nice to see our 'Nimpho Babby' is still attempting to have some fun. Peep the swagger in the those lips! That's all Bobby right there. I swear that nigga has some strong-arm genes. That girl didn't stand a chance in looking like Whit.

Bey-Z Is Back In Action!


I know your past few weeks have been a little cold with the absence of Bey-Z and all but don't worry, it looks like Dick and Jane are back out to play. They've been seen at the beach, clubs, and basketball games since the wrapping of "Dream Girls". Yesterday the two were spotted leaving Da Silvano restaurant. Check out more pictures at Beyonce World. I personally can't wait to see Jay's man tittyballs again this summer. Get married already! I'll be the maid and everything, just don't hit my ass with a phone.

Baby sister Solange recently put rumors to rest that she is pregnant again. The rumors never made they way around my way but whatever.

In a statement by her management company, she says "there is absolutely no validity" to the reports, which she blames on what the press release calls "irresponsible bloggers and gossip news." Solange says the pictures showing up on the Internet are pictures taken two years ago - when she was really pregnant with her first child. She says if you check out the pictures taken late last month at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you can see that she is definitely not pregnant now.

Raise your hand if you give an ounce of a damn.


Ashanti Show Canceled After Cousin Killed

Ashanti pulled out of a concert over the weekend after her cousin was killed by a 17-year-old drunken driver, authorities said.

Quinshae Snead, 20, was on her way to Ashanti's hotel to fetch something for the Grammy award-winning singer ahead of the concert Saturday when the car she was riding in was rear-ended, police said. Snead was flung from the car as it rolled over and thrown into the path of another car in the opposite lane.

The 17-year-old unlicensed driver had stolen his mother's car, said Johannesburg metro police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar. "He was also under the influence of liquor," Minnaar told the South African Press Association.

The teenager was arrested for drunken driving and hospitalized. The driver of the car Snead was riding in also was injured and taken to hospital.

Jada Pinkett Smith: 'Will Saved My Life'

We all know that Jada has being trying her hand at being a rock star for a while now. Although she scares the shit out of me from time to time I can give her some credit for wanting to try something new. It's better than what she was doing back in the day. Check it:

Jada Pinkett Smith credits her husband Will Smith for saving her from a life of drugs and promiscuous sex.

The actress was living life in the fast lane when she met the Independence Day star, who convinced her to change her ways.

She explains, "Will saved my life. I was literally killing myself when we started dating ten years ago. "I was doing drugs, drinking alcohol and sleeping around."

The actress has been touring with her heavy metal band Wicked Wisdom, but steers clear of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

At least she is honest about how many miles have been on her coochie before. I wish I could say the same about other folks.

It's Good Friday, ya'll. The reason why I have Slickback getting his hair curled in this post is that I may be doing the same throughout the day. Stuck in my kitchen pressing down naps.

Quote of the Day

R&B crooner Ne-Yo says he is addicted to sex. The chart-topping singer/songwriter talks about his sexual exploits in the May issue of 'Vibe' magazine. "I'm Sammy Davis [Jr.] and Bugs Bunny with some porn mixed in," Ne-Yo, 26, tells senior editor Laura Checkoway, in his first big magazine profile. The Arkansas native's debut album, 'In My Own Words,' hit Number One on the charts upon release last month off of the strength of the Number One single 'So Sick.' The article also delves into the Def Jam Records crooner's background: growing up in a Las Vegas low-income housing project raised by a battered mother ("beat like a man" by his father, he shares) who also worked as a casino cocktail waitress.

Alicia Keys Lands Another Film Role

Alicia Keys is adding another note to her acting resume. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has been cast in the big-screen adaptation of the best-selling book, "The Nanny Diaries," Keys' spokeswoman, Kelly Bush, said Thursday. The film features Scarlett Johansson as a nanny for a wealthy Manhattan family. Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney and Chris Evans also star. Keys will play the nanny's best friend, Bush said. The character is a far cry from the assassin she plays in the upcoming action flick "Smokin' Aces," which features Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Jeremy Piven and Ray Liotta. Keys, 25, and longtime manager Jeff Robinson formed a production. (continue reading) Thanks Da Real!

I can't wait to hear this. She's probably going to sound like the Rodeo Drive version of Shug from Hustle & Flow. You can catch Mimi on 106 & Park tonight to premiere
"Say Somethin." She has really been on the move lately. I've been hearing buzz about her releasing her own perfume line. Yes, now you too can smell like week old hot dog water. I know you've been waiting for that. Just kidding before the Mimi gang of fans invade the comment sections. Not really . . .


Reality Bites




Where's the damn shoe?! Didn't they do all that posing and shit to show off those lovely Payless fashions? Anyway, Leslie got the boot last night on ANTM and I wasn't at all surprised. I did like her (that walk, hilarious shit) and all but I wasn't convinced either. I hope she still continues to pursue a modeling career . . . everybody gotta have a dream. I also wanted Brooke to stab Nnenna with a rusty screwdriver but that didn't happen. You don't apologize for going off on bitches! I was ready for the claws to come out, oh well.

I also watched My Super Sweet Sixteen aka Bitchfest 2006. L.A. Reid's son Aaron was the lucky girl, erh, guy celebrating that special day. In the beginning I thought that he was going to be cool and down to earth about things but you already know how it eventually went down. "I need compliments. . . lips have to be smoochable." The hell? At least we got to see Peebles!

Tonight College Hill and Countdown to Lockdown airs on Barely Entertaining Television. At first I hated both shows but they are actually starting to grow on me. I really don't want to see Lil' Kim looking a mess at her farewell party though.

Queen Latifah Is A Welfare Queen

Queen Latifah will star in "Welfare Queen" -- a fact-based story of a woman who scammed the welfare system out of a fortune -- as part of the first-look deal her shingles has signed with Focus Features and its genre division, Rogue Pictures.

Deal with Flavor Unit, the production shingle run by Latifah and Shakim Compere, will allow the duo to hatch modestly budgeted films for both Focus and Rogue. Focus production president John Lyons and Rogue prexy Andrew Rona made the deal. Latifah and Compere plan to develop several genre-spanning projects that include the Michael Sinder-scripted "Reality Sucks," a spoof of reality shows.

"Welfare Queen," based on the life of Dorothy Woods, will be produced by Flavor Unit with Edmonds Entertainment Edmonds Entertainment. Abdul Williams is writing the script. (Variety via D Listed)

That's nuts. Not that she is involved with this project but the title of it all. You see my Dad refers to one of my cousin as a welfare queen. I thought he was the only person who used that "pet name." Daddy gas the Lumina up, we're going to Hollywood! Now she is probably going to watch the movie (bootleg of course, she has an image to uphold) for tips.

Get 'Em Gabby!

Tough and beautiful, leggy actress Gabrielle Union is ready to come fac-to-face with the man who assaulted and raped her at gunpoint back in 1992 in an effort to keep him from making parole and being set loose again, according to a pubished report. The rapist is set for a parole hearing later this year, and Union is quoted as saying: "He took a plea bargain and got 33 years but he's up for parole this year and I will be testifying to make sure he stays where he needs to be -- in prison."

The statuesque black and beautiful starlet was just 19 when the rapist attacked her at gunpoint, and Union has openly credited Oprah with saving her life because of lessons learned watching her show. Union managed to escape her attacker when she won the rapist's trust and grabbed his gun.

Marketing Firm Buys Interest In Ali's Name



Muhammad Ali, one of the world's most recognized people, has sold 80 percent of the marketing rights to his name and likeness to a firm for $50 million. The 64-year-old former heavyweight champion, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, will retain a 20 percent interest in the business. The new venture will be operated by a company called G.O.A.T. LLC, an acronym for "The Greatest of All Time."

Ali and wife Lonnie are expected to work with CKX, Inc. to market his interests around the world. The deal includes trademarks owned by the boxing great. "This relationship with CKX will help guarantee that, for generations to come, people of all nations will understand my beliefs and my purpose," Ali said in a statement issued Tuesday by the company. "I am honored to be able to partner with CKX as they continue to grow."

CKX has concentrated primarily on entertainment and holds the rights to the IDOLS television brand, which includes the show "American Idol." It also holds the rights to Elvis Presley's marketing, and has an interest in the operations of Graceland, Presley's Memphis, Tenn., home.

Rumor Control: Destiny Lightsy To Play Aaliyah In Upcoming Project?



Rumours say since about 1-2 years that a movie about Aaliyah's life is/was planned. At first Meagan Good was supposed to play her role but now Destiny Lightsy steps into the spotlight. Destiny Lightsy is the background dancer of Ciara and has been the leading lady in Usher's "Yeah" video. Now rumours say that she's supposed to play Aaliyah in the "upcoming" movie. She even dressed up like Aaliyah in the "We Need A Resolution" video with the exact black nails, red lips, hair cut, dress etc. Maybe those rumours are true and Destiny Fightsy is going to play Aaliyah. (Information via Aaliyah-Haughton.de)

Can you see her portraying Aaliyah? I can. I was never too sure about Megan Good. I like her and everything but. . . uh, no. If you want to see more Destiny you can also peep her in the video for "Goodies" dancing hard as fuck, ha ha. Thanks BK for the info!


Vivid To Release DVD of Karrine Givin' Some Head, Givin' Some Head

Oh Lord, here we go . . .


Karrine Steffans, a one-time groupie and author of a tell-all book on her sexual trysts with Jay-Z, Ja Rule and others, is featured in Vivid Entertainment's Superhead, set for release on April 19. "She wrote this expose on Jay-Z, Ja Rule, P Diddy and all these other guys in hip-hop and now we can see her just before she joined those guys," said Howard Levine, national sales manager for Vivid.

"Before she blew the lid off the hip-hop world, she blew Mr. Marcus." Coincidentally, Steffans today appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" speaking about her book and her experiences with hip-hop musicians, claiming they took advantage of her.

Mr. Marcus, who narrates the intro to the video, has fond memories of Steffans. "The thing that stood about her was that she gave incredible head," he said. "She created something off that one act that people are still talking about today."

Steffans, whose 2005 book "Confessions of a Video Vixen," reached the New York Times bestseller list, is shown going hardcore with Mr. Marcus during production of Mr. Marcus's Cool Spot.

D-12's Proof Shot And Killed At Detroit Club

Proof, a member of the Eminem-fronted Detroit-based hip-hop sextet D12, was killed early Tuesday morning outside a Detroit nightclub in a shooting that left another man in critical condition.

According to NBC News affiliate WDIV, Proof (real name: DeShaun Holton) suffered a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club on East Eight Mile Road, near Gratiot Avenue. By the time police arrived just after 5 a.m., the club — which was operating illegally, after hours — had been cleared out, but several witnesses have come forward to discuss the incident with investigators.

A spokesperson for the Detroit Police Department said only that "an altercation occurred [inside the club], and shots rang out," but would not discuss the shooting further, as the 30-year-old rapper's next of kin have not yet been notified.

Both victims (the other man's name has not been released) were transported to hospitals; Proof was rushed to St. John Holy Cross Hospital, while the second victim, who is 35 and also sustained a gunshot to the head, was taken to St. John Hospital, where he's listed as being in critical condition. Proof was pronounced dead on arrival.

Check Out Penny Woods!

Janet Jackson was at her peak weight back in October, estimated to be around 250lbs. Since then, she has been following a strict fitness regimen -- possibly for the upcoming release of her album this fall. Sources tell TMZ that her label, Virgin Records, is counting on Jackson to produce a much-needed hit for the company. Jackson has been spending time in the recording studio, but spending just as much time losing weight. The formerly overweight singer was spotted shoe shopping yesterday afternoon along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. As you can cleary see in the photos, Janet has been dropping the pounds and it won't be long til she unveils her trademark abs again. (TMZ)

250 pounds? Janet never did look that big to me.


Duck Diddy, Duck!

Embattled supermodel Naomi Campbell is feuding with her old pal, Sean "Puffy" Combs. The two - who until recently would travel the world together and party till dawn - are not talking after Campbell unexpectedly pulled out of the new NBC show Combs is producing, "Cooking Showdown," which pairs celebrities with superchefs. "Naomi found out Puff was the producer and dropped out," said our spy. Combs, who will have to do with just Ja Rule on his show, is mystified as to why she's so mad at him. A rep for Campbell didn't return calls while Combs' rep declined to comment. Meanwhile, we hear Campbell will sit down with Oprah Winfrey to talk about her anger-management issues. (Page Six)

Stupid Girls Will Be On Oprah Today



Teenagers today are influenced by celebrity culture like never before. "We're talking about what I call the 'marginalization of women,'" Oprah says. "We are bombarded [from the media] with titillating images of women degraded and on display--scantily clad, overtly objectified. There is no escaping it--women are being exploited. It's bad enough that women are allowing themselves to be used this way, but even worse, young girls are imitating them."I want us to start paying attention to what is happening to women in this country and the role models we are projecting throughout the world."Former music video dancer Karrine Steffans used to be a part of a multibillion dollar industry that some experts fear is ruining an entire generation.

Oprah airs at 4 pm in my area so I'm just going to have to fall back for a second to see what is going to happen. I'm going to try really, really hard not to stare at Oprah's hair waiting for Al Reynolds and Stedman to fall out of it. Word to Pink, I'm tired of these stupid bitches too. And its not just Lindsay Lohag and Paris Hitem either. "We" got a few of em too and you know who I am talking about. Actually I'm tired of dumb niggas in general.


Tina Brown, Have You Had A Big Glass of Shut The Fuck Up Today?

Rumors of Whitney Houston being on the D.L. date back almost 20 years, when folks swore that she was creeping with her "best friend" Robyn Crawford. There was also that infamous urban legend that Houston was involved in a love triangle with actresses Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis while the latter two filmed the 1988 movie "The Accused."

The rumors were put on the back burner once Bobby Brown placed a ring on her finger in July 1992. But Brown's sister Tina has just turned up the heat on that burner, with new allegations that Whitney engages in lesbian sex while she's high on drugs.

Earlier this month, Tina told the National Enquirer of Whitney's dangerous crack addiction, and provided pictures of the singer's bathroom filled with crack pipes, rolling papers, cocaine-caked spoons and other tools to support her addiction. This week, Tina tells the Enquirer that it's common knowledge among Whitney's family members, and even her husband Bobby, that she has engaged in sexual affairs with women.

"It's no secret. I've seen her with a woman a couple of times," Tina tells the tabloid. "They were walking around without shirts on when I came in the house." Whitney, 42, was also described by Tina as a sex fiend, who locks herself away for days with sex toys, in addition to her drug paraphernalia. Tina fears that her sister-in-law is just "one fix away from killing herself."

Okay, so say Whitney is a lesbian. So the fuck what? And I'm mad at Eurweb for using that picture. That bitch does not look that pretty any more. I'm disgusted! I always knew that one day they would try to bring Nippy down.


Judge Mablean Is Not Her Hair!

Oh Lord, where does one even begin to sort this shit out. . .

Mablean Ephriam, who until recently presided over the syndicated television show 'Divorce Court," says that she was given her walking papers from the show, in part because FOX would not cut her slack when it came to styling her hair. "...When will FOX and the rest of America accept our cultural differences as African Americans and embrace us with all of our different hairstyles, hair textures, hair color..." she said in a "press conference statement."

FOX gave Mablean the boot after seven years because they say Mablean was asking for a lot more money than the network was willing to shell out. TMZ is told two million a year was not enough for Mablean, so FOX said farewell.

Mablean's statement veers away from salary and onto hairier issues. She says "the most unacceptable demand to me was when FOX said, 'There will be no changes in the current hairstyle to avoid time consuming issues regarding her hair." She believes FOX's position could violate Federal law, calling it "a racial and ethnic issue." (continue)


Reunited And It Feels So Good



With each passing photo that pops up in my inbox of these two I doubt even more they are actually going to divorce. From what I hear Kimussell (my lame attempt of combining their names, shut it) are in the process of creating a reality television show and thought a divorce would be a great way to spice things up. Yeah, I would've love to be at that meeting too. Whatever the case they are getting their fair share of publicity because of this shit.

I interrupt both your Sunday afternoon and mine to present you live in technicolor, Remy "Rick James" Ma. Queen of New York? That's not where I rest my head so I wouldn't know. But if I had to select an heir to the HAM throne it would be her. Maybe she is trying to inspire a new generation with this shit.

Is Trey Songz Crunk And Disorderly?



I've known about this little rumor involving Trey for about three days now. At first I didn't really think much of it but after 14 different people sent in mail about it I decided to actually check it out. The campus police at Clark Atlanta University asked that Trey get out of a rental car that was driving too slowly and he refused. Allegedly, he had to be physically removed out of the car and had a meet and great with the ground. I plan on calling my homie who goes to CAU later to ask her what the hot hell is up.

The following is an email allegedly written by his mother. I doubt it but hey, whatever.

As many of you may know by now, my son, Trey was a victim of excessive force by a member of the Clark/Atlanta campus police! It is with mixed emotions that I come to you to thank you all for your witness statements, kind words, thought & prayers for Trey during this difficult time. We have had contact with him & he is okay. He is being held over night for obstruction of justice & disorderly conduct for merely refusing to get out of the passenger seat of a car! I can't even fathom that these fraudelent charges will stand up in a court of law! Again, as always thanks for your continued support!

Much love,

Mama Songz

Flicks From Queen Latifah's Surprise Berfday Party



Queen Latifah celebrated her birthday in Miami at Snatch. I already know what you are thinking, oh behave! Tyson (someone please fax that man some job applications) and Tracy Mourning was also in attendance.



I'm Just Saying . . .

Don't hold your breath girls breathe out/Sweat out the perm pull your weave out?

Girl stop!

I'ma keep it gangsta, I'ma keep it real. I hate this damn song.

As Butta pointed out to me that weave may just save your life. Think about it, if that woman in NYC would've pulled her shit out she might be dead. All jokes aside, I (x15) don't understand what she is talking about in this song.

This also applies to Young Jeezy. "No college degree" but I know when niggas is just putting shit together.

I give up.

First Vibe says that Chris Brown is the future of R&B. Now this.


Beyonce Writes Nippy A Note

Britain's Daily Star newspaper is reporting that Beyonce has written a letter to Whitney Houston offering support in the wake of recent tabloid reports about her alleged drug use. "Beyonce will do what it takes to sort Whitney out," said a source quoted by the newspaper. "She needs her friends around her and Beyonce would never give up on anybody."

Whitney and Beyonce are said to have become close friends during the early days of Destiny's Child. The "Crazy in Love" singer was reportedly moved to pen the letter after reading accounts of Houston's chaotic state.

Last week, Mary J. Blige also expressed concern about Houston, advising the singer through Britain's "Attitude" magazine that the admission of an addiction is the "first step on the road to recovery." (

Betcha five dollars she wrote "I'm your girl, you're my girl, we're your girls don't you know that we love you?" on a piece of paper.


First The Fat Boys Break Up . . .



Doc hit me with an email last night that Ciara and Bow Wow broke up and I was immediately started to cry. . . from laughter. I automatically assumed they separated because Ciara's dick was bigger than his and he couldn't deal with it any more but I was wrong.

After dating for nearly a year, it's the end of the road for Ciara and Bow Wow, two of the most successful artists in R&B and hip hop. "Ciara and I have parted ways," Bow Wow tells TEEN PEOPLE. "I wish her all the best."

Miss Info, a DJ on New York City's Hot 97, first reported that Ciara, 20, and Bow Wow, 19, broke up after he was spotted with another girl in Los Angeles last weekend. But a rep for Ciara tells TEEN PEOPLE, "Ciara and Bow Wow have been broken up for a while, but their parting was amicable."

Shits & Giggles: You Sent It!

I swear some of you are the funniest, sincere, and craziest people I've ever come in contact with. A lot of times I get so much email in my inbox that I can't get to it all that same day but I do read everything ya'll send. Keep it coming! Shouts out to Yllona and Prodigal Sun for listening to me whine and complain about that business situation. I've been on pause for the last couple of days but my ass is about to press play! Trust. Alright, on with it.

Are Ne-Yo And Trey Songz Beefing?

One of my overseas connects tipped me to a beef that's brewing. We all know Ne-Yo is a talented songwriter that most recently became a performer. Apparently, he’s not a fan of one of his former clients and a fellow new jack. Here is what Ne-Yo said to my friend from across the pond. "Besides Marques Houston, who I just can't stand, Trey Songz pissed me off! They did some performance together and at the end he was charging his fans for autographs. That's some f***ed up shit right there," Ne-Yo declared! I like Ne-Yo and Trey, but I have to say, I met Marques Houston once and his breath was kicking like a Bruce Lee flick! (AHH Rumors) Thanks Toya!

Guess Who Butta Ran Into?!

Sometimes you just never know who you are going to run into when you head out shopping. Butta, I'm jealous. With the release of an album on the way I know L'Creme is going to sell out.

Star Jones and Lil' Kim both have twins running around on the loose. Thanks Lily :)

So who is this piece of sexual fudge? I'll like to introduce you to Mr. New York. Some bitches
just have all the luck eh? Apparently our friend New York has moved on in her pursuits of finding love. That brother better remove those other chicks from his top eight list ASAP. She isn't the only one from the FOL cast who moved on.

King Magazine's Second Annual "King Size: Volume 2" Honoring Nick Cannon



Truth be told I'm a little confused about what's going on here . . like why would there be a reason for Nick Cannon to be honored. Did he do a spread with his ass cheeks out and I missed it? Ah well, maybe somebody can fill me in because I don't get it. Normally I would also insert a Melyssa Ford joke *right here* but that shit is too easy. . . even for her.

Rosie O'Donnell On Naomi Campbell: "She Needs A Big 200 Pound Lesbian To Kick Her Ass."



Rosie O'Donnell hit the talk show circuit last week to promote tonight's premiere of her special "Rosie's Family Cruise" on HBO, but she couldn't resist putting her two cents in on other topics currently making headlines. First in her bulls eye was Star Jones Reynolds and her breast lift. Rosie can't understand why "The View" co-host has no problem going on and on about her boob job, but won't say one word about how she was able to lose 150 pounds in a year. . .

At another media event, O'Donnell turned her attention toward Naomi Campbell, who was arrested last week and charged with assault after allegedly throwing a cell phone at her assistant, Ana Scolavino. The incident is the latest of several assault allegations against Campbell from women who have worked for her. O'Donnell said of the catwalk queen, "she needs a big 200 pound lesbian to kick her ass."

I agree! I'm saying, somebody just needs to stomp a mudhole in that bitch just once. I will also be ordering one of these shirts today. So if you see NayNay at the club, lean on her. Meet Rosie in the trap its going down, meet her at the mall its going down . . .


Is Whitney In A Cult?



Whitney Houston's woes continue.

Fans of the once clean-cut singer were shocked by recent photos of her that ran in tabs along with allegations of cocaine use. And now there are charges that some of her problems may have been complicated by her dealings with a group that has been labeled a cult.

"Houston and husband Bobby Brown first hooked up with the so-called 'Black Hebrews' in 2003 on a trip to Israel," notes Rick Ross of Cultnews.com. Houston has reportedly sought help from her "spiritual advisor" with the group in recent months. "The strange group is led by Ben Carter, a former Chicago resident who now calls himself 'Ben Ammi Ben Israel'," according to Ross, who reports that the group has been plagued by controversy. One of Carter's henchmen was convicted of "operating an international crime ring" in the 1980s, and recently, the group was linked to the death of a child -- allegedly because of the diet the child was given

Shits & Giggles: Celebrity Twins



I really have no rhyme or reason for this post other than the fact that I find this shit very amusing. My homie Mo forwarded the following pictures to me this morning. I chopped and screwed the pictures since I'm too lazy to upload them all. As I stated earlier, Miss Chickypoo from L'Creme (don't you just love that shit?) looks like Heather Hunter while this random lady resembles Cedric the Entertainer.

Eminem Files For Divorce . . . Again

ET confirms the news that rap superstar EMINEM has filed for divorce this morning for the second time from KIMBERLY MATHERS, after just 82 days of marriage. Eminem, whose real name is MARSHALL BRUCE MATHERS III, filed the paperwork in Macomb County, Michigan. Through his attorney, the '8 Mile' star has asked that his privacy be respected, and that his focus and primary concern is on daughter HAILIE, who is 10 years old.

The couple wed for the second time this past January in a suburb of their hometown of Detroit.

Eminem and Kim married the first time in 1999 and divorced in 2001 following a nasty custody battle involving their daughter. He penned several songs about his ex-wife, including a murder fantasy titled "Kim."

Not ANOTHER Girl Group



One day when I'm married/knocked up/divorced from an entertainer I'm going to start a singing group. Lately that seems like the default shit to do! Paul Wall's wife, Clifford's woman, and Ne-Yo's babymama are all apart of singing groups. Keisha emailed some pictures of Jesse and her group L'Creme I've never seen before and I thought I would share. Yes L'Creme. Check out their myspace profile for more info.

More Gangsta Muzik

Before I get started let me just say that MP looks old as hell now, hot damn.

There is some buzz being circulated that Master P and an entourage of a couple dozen grown ass men confronted Bow Wow at the Kids' Choice Awards. If you are anything like me you can't help but to find some humor in that shit, even if it’s a lie. Real niggas do real things, ya'll. Cookie Monster's gangsta can only be parallel to that of Tony Montana. [/sarcasm]

I give it about two, three years until the Kids' Choice Awards turns into the Source/Vibe Awards. Guns gonna start being pulled, gang signs thrown, and violence will erupt. Thanks M.O.B. for the info :)

Mary J. Recreates Painful K-Ci Moment With 50 Cent's Help

MJB is finally making another damn video, thank you Jeez-us!

For her new single "Enough Crying," Mary J. Blige has enlisted director Hype Williams to help recreate one of the lowest moments in her life. Williams and the singer were recently in Long Beach, California filming a scene that involved her ex-boyfriend K-Ci Hailey - represented in the video by your boy, Curtis "50 Cent"Jackson.

Time out, Hype Williams? Ah shit, that means the video is going to probably look like this. Continuing . . .

"The video is [about] something that happened a long time ago, and it was a very embarrassing moment when I thought I was getting married," she explained to MTV.com in between shooting. "I was engaged to [K-Ci], and I actually went on a talk show overseas and that person had just done that talk show about a week before me. I was telling the interviewer that I was getting married, and the week before he was saying that it was a rumor. He wasn't marrying me. It was a disaster that really embarrassed me." (continue)

Rumor Control: Brooke Valentine Is NOT Dead

Lies, lies, damn lies! If you see the following "report" please proceed to not pay it any attention.

Brooke Valentine R.I.P October 4, 1984-April 2,2006

Report: "Girlfight" Singer Brooke Valentine Died of Accidental Drug Overdose Monday, April 3, 2006 NEW YORK-"Girlfight" Singer Brooke Valentine died accidentally April 2,2006 of "multiple drug toxicity," including cocaine and heroin, citing reports filed by the New Jersey medical examiner's office. Valentine, 20, died in a hotel room in Livingston, N.J., while on a club tour . The singer, who was born with a heart defect, was initially believed to have died from heart failure. She had struggled with drugs and alcohol, and took a hiatus from performing for several months after a Oct 2005 arrest in Austin, Texas, for felony possession of heroin. sassymf03 has signed out. (4/4/2006 3:11 AM)

I've received damn near 20 emails in the past two hours asking about this shit. Stop killing off people! I know the girl career is kinda dead but give it a break. Plus if she was born in 1984 wouldn't that make her 21? Stop it I say. If people are going to kill off a "Brooke" then it needs to be Mary's rap alter ego character or whatever.

There Could Still Be Hope Left!

Yesterday -- three days after formally announcing his split from Kimora Lee Simmons, his wife of seven years --hip-hop and fashion mogul Russell Simmons told me there's still "a possibility" they can save their marriage.

"This morning we woke up, the four of us, in the same bed -- which is pretty normal for us," Simmons told me, referring to Kimora and their daughters Ming Lee, 6, and Aoki, 3. He said the family started the day at their Saddle River, N.J., mansion -- one of several Simmons residences, including an East Hampton estate, a Tribeca loft and houses in L.A. "On the day we made our announcement, I picked up my children from school and took them to see 'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' with Kimora."

But at the same time, the 48-year-old Simmons acknowledged that he's been spending quality time with 23-year-old Dominican beauty and rap video starlet Denise Vasi, and insisted that he'd approve if Kimora, the 30-year-old "Fabulosity" author, found another guy.

I think that would be dope if they worked things out. My parents were divorced at one time and then were remarried a few years later...I think about three maybe? Go figure! I've always chalked it up as those two crazy ass people need each other. Put 'em on your prayer list!


Mo'Nique @ "Phat Girlz" Premiere

Oh, Love



A day without Aretha Franklin is like a day without sunshine, so I can't resist congratulating the Queen of Soul on her 64th birthday, which she celebrated the other night at Le Bernardin -- a lovely affair, I hear, at which Al Sharpton presented her with a dozen yellow roses. Never mind that Ms. Franklin told me that my column is "tacky and trite" while claiming, a week before the big day on March 25, "I'm not 63!" Well, not anymore. (New York Daily News)

Yeah yeah, I know Al is married and everything but there is nothing wrong with thinking about what could have been . . . what still may be possible. Could you imagine if these two every did start creeping with each other? That shit would be great! Every day would be an opportunity to square off against each other in an eating contest. Fuck Nathan's hot dog eating competition, I want to see that.

Anyway, don't expect much from me today. I'm tied up waiting for Rick James to burn me with a crack pipe and I have no time for half ass posts (like the previous one, don't you love the delete button?).

The Preservation of Diddy's Sexy Is No Longer


On Friday (3/31), P. Diddy filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against Guthy Renker, the makers of Proactiv Solution for failing to leave his skin "with no bumps." Along with Vanessa Williams, Alicia Keys and Jessica Simpson, P. Diddy became a spokesperson for Proactive Solutions, a skin product that promises to "banish their breakouts and get them on the path to clear, beautiful, star-quality skin." In the infomercial, the rap mogul testifies how he got hip to Proactive Solution after using the product and seeing his pimples disappear.

"I use Proactive," says Diddy in the ad, because it helps "moisturize my situation and preserve my sexy." However, just months after the ads, Diddy says he started to experience breakouts and decided to file suit, saying the product has discredited him in the hip-hop community. "I look foolish on an infomercial promoting a product for skin care and my skin still has bumps on it," says P. Diddy in a statement.

Hours later, Guthy Renker filed a countersuit claiming that Diddy has failed to "preserve his sexy" and carefully follow the product instructions. The corporation also cites Diddy's affiliation with Diet Pepsi, for which he is also a spokesperson, as the true source of his acne woes. In the counter-suit, Guthy Renker claims that Diddy's consumption of sugary products such as Diet Pepsi has neutralized the cleansing effects Proactiv Solution provides.

Simon Cowell Does Not Care About Beyonce

Uh oh, I hope Papa Matthew doesn't go into Joe Jackson mode and mush Simon in the face or some crazy shit:

It's hardly surprising that Matthew Knowles would hate Simon Cowell - who once dissed Knowles' daughter Beyonce as "not sexy" and "not a great singer." Now Beyonce's father-manager is daring the "American Idol" terror to put his money where his mouth is.

"I challenge him to put together a female group or female solo artist, and I will do the same, and then let the audience decide which is better," Knowles told Daily News contributor Jawn Murray after watching Tuesday's live "Idol" show backstage and experiencing Cowell up close and personal.

When finalist Paris Bennett received raves from judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul for her cover of Beyonce's tune "Work It Out," Cowell sniffed: "I am sorry to put a damper on everything ... You know what it reminded me of? It's like a little girl pretending to be Beyonce. Whoopee." Knowles fired back: "It is even more clear to me that Simon wouldn't know a hit song, image or talent if it hit him in the face."

Sounds like something Knowles would like to do.
