'Cause Gossip And Liquor Go Hand In Hand



I finally got the opportunity to listen to "The Wendy Williams Experience" last week while in my car going to the grocery store to pick up some extra cayenne pepper and water and I laughed my ass off. Wendy signed on today as an official spokeswoman for Alize, good for her. Maybe one of these days all my Chek soda plugs will pay off.

Groupie Love Turns Ugly



A catfight broke out between a hot-headed hoochie in Bobby Brown's entourage and a Russian model at new lounge 83 Worth Street the other night. A spy tells us Brown - who was without wife Whitney Houston - showed up with "an entourage of women," one of whom picked a fight with the catwalking girlfriend of owner Jeff Krauss. "Brown's groupie managed to grab the Russian model by the hair and threw her against a wall before security guards escorted her out," we're told. Brown and his better-behaved gal pals were allowed to stay and made the most of it by dancing into the wee hours to DJ Uri Dalal's set.

This wouldn't have ever happen if Nippy was with him. She would've took both of them hoes down to Chinatown.


Mimi Snags Another "Award"

Mariah Carey is no stranger to receiving awards when it comes to her legendary voice... but for her legs? Mariah is the first celebrity recipient of the Gillette Venus' "Celebrity Legs of a Goddess" award. The award ceremony was held to kick off Gillette's fourth annual contest in search of the hottest legs in America.



Although the event wasn't as huge as the Grammys, it's no surprise that the diva made an appearance. Mariah unveiled a sixteen foot replica statue of her legs. Wonder what the full size looks like! The "Legs of a Goddess" contests will be held at select venues during Ms. Carey's highly anticipated concert tour, 'The Adventures of Mimi: The Voice, The Hits, The Tour.' The national winner of the contest will receive a $25,000 grand prize. Sorry ladies, only Mariah's legs will be massively immortalized. (TMZ)

Rihanna And No-No At The Universal Block Party In Australia

This past weekend while watching about two hours of the Laguna Beach marathon (I love those rich white kids, I really do) I caught the episode of 106 & Park when Rihanna premiered her video for "Unfaithful" and I damn near had a stroke when she started dancing. I don't think the video director made it with the intentions of being funny but it was to me.

During the first 20 seconds I thought her love interest was John Legend (ha!) but of course I was wrong. I can't wait for the kids standing outside of the TRL building to request this one. Check out the first comment on the page. All my comment box folks will remember this is the same song she sung live in Japan that had us screaming.



Is there a beauty contest going on and someone neglected to tell me about it? What's up with the
Kiki Shepard wave?



Remember when No-No said that he slept with his entire 10th grade class or some nonsense? Well I don't think he was lying. Ne-Yo is probably a pretty good dick dealer but he's not the type you put on blast and tell everybody (ahem, Rashida Jones).
When it's all over please get up and leave. Question. Why does it look like someone is teaching him how to chunk up the deuce?


Kidada Jones Is Slow



Your average celebutante can be pretty flighty. Take fledgling designer Kidada Jones (above), the 32-year-old daughter of music man Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton, and a onetime girlfriend of Tupac Shakur.

Kidada's little sister, Rashida, dished the other day to a Lowdown spy: "Kidada recently got a free leather softener from Coach, which she thought she was supposed to use on her face as a moisturizer. Kidada used it and complained to me that it was too oily. After a while, she finally figured out it was for leather."

The 30-year-old Rashida explained: "Kidada was kicked out of 11 schools by the age of 15. She was a rebel. She got kicked out for bad behavior, being angry and overexcited. I don't think my going to Harvard while Kidada had trouble in school is an example of siblings splitting. She was just being a normal teenager. But Kidada ultimately graduated from the Fashion Institute in L.A. So it worked out."

And in the future, she might even be able to distinguish between shoe polish and face lotion. (New York Daily News)

Its one thing when you put some crap on your face that doesn't have any business being on it . . . but when your sister rats you out that's just plain funny. Thanks Da Real and Yllona for the tip once again!

Lil X and Andre Harrell @ Baby Phat and Phat Farm Hampton's Summer Kick Off Party



Beyonce Made Jay-Z Cancel His Team Chunk Membership

For her birthday on Sept. 4, Beyonce will go against tradition and give away a present -- her long-awaited sophomore solo album, appropriately titled, "B'Day." The Music World Music/Sony Urban Music/Columbia Records set, featuring all new music co-produced, written and arranged by Beyonce, will be released worldwide on the 4th, and in the United States a day later on Tuesday, Sept. 5. . .

B'Day's' first single, "Deja Vu," features Beyonce reteaming with her boyfriend Jay-Z in hopes of matching the success of their previous collaboration, "Crazy in Love," the first single from her 2003 debut solo album, "Dangerously in Love." Speaking of Jay-Z, In Touch weekly is reporting that Beyonce has put him on a diet to shed some extra pounds.

The singer, who reportedly went on a water and cayenne pepper diet to slim down quickly for "Dreamgirls," has the rap mogul eating lean proteins and vegetables, and steering clear of candy, his favorite food. The effort has already resulted in a loss of about 15 pounds, the magazine reports. A source tells In Touch: "Beyonce likes a little meat on his bones, but not too much ... [and Jay Z] was getting chunky." Jay Z, 36, was reportedly thirty pounds lighter when he and Beyonce began dating in 2003. (Eurweb)

Oh really, B'Day eh? I would've loved to been a fly on the wall the day she told Jay-Z to lose the Team Chunk membership card. I still think that cayenne pepper water diet is fucking ridiculous. Wouldn't that make your piss hot? I shudder at the thought. If I have to drink some shit that is going to make my turds come out like I've been eating a bag of flamin' hot cheetos its not worth it.


Party With The Fonz



Its no secret that metrosexual men throw one hell of a party. I've been to a couple of soirees hosted by a few and honey I had to clutch my pearls all night long like Lionel Richie. Everything from the drinks to the entertainment was on point. Yeah, there may have been some random guy walking past with his ass out but no one was complaining.


If you didn't already know our favorite baggage handler Fonzworth Bentley is also a rapper. I must admit that I like his song "Laid Back." I could definately see Kanye and his rhythm nation-less ass getting down to it in the studio. Speaking of Ye, his chick logged off of Myspace and attended the party. I still think Kanye and Fonz are a cuter couple though.


Rumor Control: Are Star And Al Headed To Divorce Court?

Say it ain't so! I give Star and Al a lot of shit but I would hate to see them seperate. Every since Rosie O' Donnell's name has been added to the mix there have been rumors that not only is Star about to be fired but Al is pissed! Maybe he can get a job as Aqualeo's manager. They have the perfect union in my opinion. He watches her purse and she keeps his tiarra collection free of dust.

Are Star Jones and husband Al Reynolds ready to call it a day? The official word from the couple is that all is well. But another source says they could be close to splitting, with Star considering a divorce lawyer.

The couple has been under scrutiny since their November 2004 wedding, which made headlines for the freebies they solicited from sponsors. And stories that Reynolds dated men before walking down the aisle led many to question whether it was a match made in heaven.

Jones' future as a co-host of "The View" also looks less than secure, especially since her nemesis Rosie O'Donnell was announced as a replacement for Meredith Vieira. Star was absent from her chair Friday, and "View:-eurs are noticing that she has been mentioning Al less on-air lately. A rep for Jones said: "This story is absolutely ridiculous and untrue. Star and Al are very committed to each other and their marriage."

Prince's God Told Him It Was A Great Idea



No one knew what to make of an e-mail from Prince that was addressed to various news outlets Wednesday morning containing only his picture and the words "First Corinthians 10:14." But as soon as the curtain rose on his surprise "American Idol" appearance Wednesday night, it all made perfect sense.

The biblical passage in First Corinthians 10:14. says: "Wherefore , my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry."

Prince made headlines earlier in the season after tabloids reported he was in talks to appear on "American Idol" as a singing coach and to possibly perform. The show's executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, outright denied that meetings even took place between the two parties, as rumors had suggested. (continue)

Am I wrong for wanting to sign up for his mailing list now? I would love to see what other type of shit he sends out. Thank God he didn't go all Madonna on us.


Fresh Faces: Aqualeo

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell a Papoose is and here comes Aqualeo. Just for the record Aquemini > Aqualeo.

Aqualeo is an "Aquasiatic" rap group consisting of two members named Priceless and A.C. High. Seriously. You can check their Myspace profile for more information and listen to a couple of their songs.



I never thought I would live to see the day that someone covered a song from "Half Baked." Guess who is the genuis who decided to pick these two nut jobs up? Papa Knowles. They need to go to the upper room and sit at the right hand of the Father. This is so darksided that it makes Raven's demonic episode okay.

What feasible explanation can AC High give for looking like a black, fabulostic Colonel from KFC? That shit ain't right.



Imagine That!

Last night I went to see Lil' Wayne perform live. Every time I have seen him before in person has been from a distance. This time I was in the front row in the Stan trenches. I never realized how little that negro was before!

Hot damn. Shit got extremely ugly when he came out. Some girl passed the hell out like she was at a Bobby Brown concert. Anyway, it was a pretty good show. It took him forever and a day to come out but when he did the audience went crazy. Since I was front and center along with my girls he kept looking right at us. Fresh flattered? Ugh, no. Imagine that!



I wrote the rumors column that is the XXL's Hip Hop Soul. The rumors are old as hell in our world but oh well. I did that. I also write daily at xxlmag.com. Imagine that!

Does George Clinton Make Your Horny Baby?



George Clinton is the last person I would ever think of getting this gig. I wonder if he will do a strip tease on stage with a lei of weed plants around his neck.

Funk legend George Clinton is scheduled to perform at New York City's first-ever Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo, the "internationally acclaimed Celebration of Flesh, Fetish, and Freedom" to be held June 17 at New York City's Pier 94.

Also performing will be Tommy Lee and DJ Aero, and five-time Grammy winner Thomas Dolby performing his hit "She Blinded Me with Science."

In Case You Missed It: Prince's Performance On "American Idol"



Here's the video link to Mary J. singing on stage in a lactating apparatus. Thanks Crystal!



Okay Janet, Go Away Now

Michael K is right, photoshop awards indeed. When I become a famous singer/actress/anti-lace front wig activist/talk show host I am going to have someone on payroll whose main job is to photoshop my ass.


"I worked really hard, and I continue to work very hard," says Janet about her lean new look. "I have to give credit to my parents' genes I suppose, and just working with great people [that] make me look good, and nutrition and a great trainer."

Just six months ago, the svelte Janet was seen in published photos looking like she had packed on a few extra pounds, but the star explains that she gained weight specifically for a movie role. "I put on the pounds for a film I was to do with LEE DANIELS, the producer of 'Monster's Ball,' which a lot of people didn't know," Janet tells Kevin. "They wanted a full-figured woman. She's from the South, a waitress."
(continue)

While Janet is trying to lose weight Beyonce is busy packing it back on.

"It was so difficult, I was starving for six months but I made it through," she revealed at Cannes, where she and co-star Jamie Foxx attended the Dreamgirls premiere. "I fasted. I literally fasted. I drank a drink that gave me all the vitamins I needed and I didn't eat for 14 days and then I just drank protein shakes. It was hard, I felt weak, but I did it.

The article also says that Beyonce was a size 12 before slimming down to a size 8. Um, no? Not buying it. But you already know where the link to this story came from so take it with a grain of salt. Don't trust them new niggas over there . . .

"American Idol" Season 5 Is Ovah!



I think I am the only person in the world who didn't watch "American Idol" tonight. I forgot that shit was still around until a couple of days ago. Congrats Taylor Hicks, now you can finally reveal your real age. I'm so sorry but his ass doesn't look 29 years old to me.


From what I've been hearing Mary J. Blige was acting a damn fool again. Say it ain't so! I don't see how she was able to strut around on stage with those platforms on. She looks like an extra from "Car Wash." I'm kinda pissed that I missed Prince's fabulostic performance. Just look at him. I bet all three of them are the same height without heels. Dionne Warwick and Al Jarreau also came out. Toni Braxton looks like she was out there trying to shake her shimmy. I'm not mad at Shug Avery though, she still looks good.


Hewpz In Black Men Magazine

As you can see Hewpz is trying to be the unofficial spokeswoman for the Janice Combs wig collection. Visit Cake and Ice Cream for more pictures of her spread. C+D already smells like hot ass so there is no need to add on to the funk.


05.24.2006 Question of the Day

I have a slight confession to make. I didn't watch more than two minutes of Oprah's Legend Ball. I had a very long day Monday and to be honest I ain't feel like all that crying and shit. Say what you want to but I was not in the mood for all of that. My uppity Aunt even threw a viewing party at her house so she could show off for the special. A friend of mine did record it so I probably will end up watching it anyway. The pictures on Oprah's site are beautiful. How was it? I know you guys are an opinionated crowd so please fill me in.


Gabrielle Union To Star In New Tyler Perry Movie

Gabrielle Union will star in Tyler Perry's latest Lionsgate film, "Daddy's Little Girl."

Written by Perry, the reverse-Cinderella tale centers on a successful attorney (Union) who falls in love with a janitor who is a single father of three children. This relationship causes a rift between the woman and her father, as he hoped she would marry wealthy.

The film is being produced by Reuben Cannon and will shoot in the summer in Atlanta.

Union most recently starred in ABC's short-lived series "Night Stalker" and next appears in "Running With Scissors."
(

There are rumors being circulated that Gabrielle was seen with another man. And you'll never guess who the hell it was. DJ Clue! I hope he is trying to break into Hollywood or something (even though his performance in "State Property 2" was terrible). Besides Darren is my man, okay? I'm glad she finally got the message. While you are over at AHH please check out this picture of Sheryl Underwood.

Rumor Control: Young Love Edition

Is love in the air for Trey Songz? Word on the curb is that Trey has hooked up with upcoming singer and fashion designer Jamie Cipriani. Now I've never heard of this chick before in my life but I'm sure that some of you might have. The pair was spotted back in April at Club Eugene and Foot Locker in New York City. Here's a picture of Miss Cipriani trying to avoid the papparzi during her trip. A radio station reported that he was polite and clinged on to Trey during her time in the Big Apple. When questioned if she and Songz were in fact a couple she replied "Im actually getting into music right now and Tremaine is just giving me direction to help me as an artist."

I know some of you are undercover P.I.'s because of the shit ya'll can dig up. Anybody have additional information on this chick? I hope that she protects his ass from police brutality. Thanks Ilene and Chris for the tips.

Moving along, the latest rumor in the Nick Cannon/Christina Milian we-need-publicity-to-increase-our-album-sales saga is that Nick cheated on her with Rihanna. Pon de forehead strikes again? Here are some tidbits that were emailed to me about the possible hook up:

- On the Angie Martinez Show Christina wouldn't reveal who the 'Mistress' was. Why? Because Jay-Z and L.A. Reid felt that if the two had a public fued it would effect the company's profits from both artists. Rihanna and Milian being labelmates changes the dynamics from the 'profit from beef' marketing strategy.

- Why has Rihanna been calling Jay so much? Because she's worried Milian will say something and Jay has been re-assuring her.

- But wait? Christina stated that the 'Mistress' was a D-List and was first seen as a 'Video Girl' ? Remember Rihanna had a feature in Memphis Bleek's "It's Like That" video, with the hat? Yup.

Rhonetta Is The Next Tom Cruise!



Just when you thought nobody could top Khia's interview with vibe.com Rhonetta Johnson pops up. Tina from Glitterati Gossip had the pleasure of recently interviewing Ms. Johnson. I'm so jealous! I'm not a master at conducting an interview but I would have had 1,001 questions for her. A million thanks to Charisse for the link.

Somebody please give this woman her own reality show. Here's my favorite part of the interview:

Tina: Who are your own idols - your role models? Who inspires you?

Rhonetta: {pause} Well . . . I like Beyonce because she reminds me a lot of me. I think she's a lot like me.

Tina: Anybody else?

Rhonetta: {pause} Halle Berry. I like her {pause} and Tyra Banks.

Tina: You must be a fan of Tyra's show then. Do you watch it?

Rhonetta: No. I haven't really seen it. Sometimes, though.

Tina: Everyone has a dream. What's yours?

Rhonetta: What?

Tina: What's your dream? Everyone has one and I was wondering about yours.

Rhonetta: What's my dream?

Tina: Yes.

Rhonetta: To be the next Tom Cruise.

Tina: To be the next Tom Cruise?

Rhonetta: Uh huh . . . yeah.

Tina: Why Tom Cruise?

Rhonetta: No. I want to be bigger than Tom Cruise.


05.23.2006 Team Chunk Quote of the Day



"I've been trying to work out, to make sure my curves don't get too much curvy. I enjoy my jelly where it is." - - Jennifer Hudson

I know you are probably getting tired of hearing about a movie that won't be out until later on this year but I can't get enough for some reason. Its been a while since a film has came along and sparked my interest. You can watch a featurette of the film at YouTube. Also check out more pictures at BlackFilm.com.

I'm still laughing at Usher.



Babyface Is Not The Father

An Indianapolis man claiming to be the illegitimate son of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds' allegedly tried to extort $9 million from the singer/producer by threatening to go public with the details, authorities said Monday. John T. Clark, 23, was arrested Friday on one count each of felony theft and misdemeanor intimidation after accepting a bogus $9 million check from one of Edmonds' attorneys and signing what turned out to be fake nondisclosure agreement.

Authorities accused Clark of contacting attorney William Briggs and demanding millions of dollars from Edmonds to "keep his mouth shut," according to court documents. "The story was that he was going to ruin Babyface's reputation by claiming to be Babyface's illegitimate baby," said Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi.
(
continue)

What type of crazy shit is that to do to somebody? And Babyface of all people. I would like to know what steps John T. Clark took to come to that decision. Maybe he was sitting home with his "Tender Lover" cd on repeat and thought it would be a good scam. That is not for the cool in him.


Clifford's Big Splash

Ah, our good friend Clifford. I'm happy to see that boy smiling again. He's been having some Bobby Brown-esque times lately. But he seems to be in good spirits now. These pictures were taken at a hotel in Miami the day after he was released from jail for violating probation.

Doesn't he look like a cute little naked chicken wing? Ha ha. And you already know who that is laying next to him. Now my only question is what the hell is ol' girl doing to Tiny's foot that she couldn't do herself? I guess Tiny must have a weed carrier of her own

05. 22. 2006 Buzz Notes

So Far So Good

Judging by the enthusiastic reaction to just 20 minutes of footage from the upcoming "Dreamgirls" film at the Cannes Film Festival Friday night, we may very well have the year's first bona fide Oscar contender. Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks screened the footage for a standing room only crowd that included such celebs as Bruce Willis, Hugh Jackman and Britain's Sir Ian McKellen. Not only did an extended standing ovation follow the showing of four brief scenes, but shouts of "more" also rang throughout the theater, putting a huge smile on the face of the film's Oscar-winning co-star, Jamie Foxx. "They talk about the Oscar curse. I don't feel it right now," Foxx said to rousing applause following the screening. The Texas native, who earned a Best Actor Academy Award in 2005 for his starring role in "Ray," was on hand at Hotel Martinez along with co-stars Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Hudson. (continue)

All I have to say is Usher turned this movie down so he could make that blockbuster, record breaking "In The Mix." Way to go!

Nay Nay Has A New Boyfriend

Naomi Campbell is playing sugar mama. The anger-management poster child waltzed into Lounge - the new boutique/bar on Broadway - last week with "her new boyfriend and bought thousands of dollars' worth of CDs and True Religion brand jeans for him," a store p.r. woman said. Campbell refused to introduce the man, believed to be a sheik from Abu Dhabi, and declined to pose for photos, because, she told the p.r. woman: "I know I need to stay out of the limelight with all the trouble I've gotten myself into!" It's not the limelight you have to worry about, doll; it's the maids! (Page Six via D Listed)

That girl ain't crazy. She can act a damn fool if she want to with that sheik and get her shit get broke into smithereens. Maybe a new found love with help put her on track though. I haven't given up on Nay Nay yet.

I'm crossing my fingers that some footage will be on YouTube soon.

Exclusive Wendell Williams Candids!

Butta sent me this email this weekend but since my inbox looks like an accident scene I'm just now getting to it:

I went to the Book Expo today and our favorite female transvestite, Wendy Williams, was there in all her unbeweavable glory. She was there to autograph teaser chapters of her new novel Drama Is Her Middle Name: The Ritz Harper Chronicles, Volume 1 due in stores this June. She was scheduled to sign along with Hill Harper at 2 pm (I didn't understand that combination either), and in true diva fashion she arrived over half an hour late. Anyone hoping to cop a copy of the book was sadly disappointed when they only got the sample. But at least her fans got that much. Rumor had it that Hill Harper's books got lost in transit. So what did he sign? Copies of JET magazine that he was on the cover of.

If you haven't heard the news already Kelly Rowland's album has been pushed back to July 2007. Joe Jackson Mathew Knowles told Billboard that the reason this happened is "to make sure our marketing strategy is a multi-tiered approach that capitalizes on the synergies afforded by her other projects." Whatever nigga. There is also some buzz that Beyonce will shoot two new music videos this summer. I know her Stans are brimming with joy. . . Angelina Jolie is becoming such a regular over in Africa that even they're not impressed. Homegirl is trying to get her rod set correct. Thanks AB! . . .

05.22.2006 Not So Blind Item

Despite wealth, this male hip-hop star has serious hygiene problems. Not only is his body odor offensive, his breath is extremely bad. Often, when he leaves a room, air freshener is sprayed. He often complains, that women are always after his money but these are the type of women he prefers because they rely on his wealth, become accustom to his abuse and will do anything he asks whereas an equally famous woman would be harder to control and abuse. This man has many dark secrets. He enjoys ecstasy; he is a lousy lover and encourages women to tell him how great he is (as a rapper and a lover) during sex and he is currently involved a bi-sexual relationship with a fellow rapper.

Now I know you can figure this one out.


Johnny Gill's 40th Birthday Party



Eddie Murphy looks like he just left the dialysis clinic. And who is that sitting next to him? I'm leaving him in the hands of the Lord. Here's my attempt in trying to capture the moment. I think I'm pretty dead on if I must say so myself.


Today is Johnny's 40th birthday so I'm going to serenade him Marilyn Monroe style. Ahem . . .

Put on your red dress
And slip on your high heels
And some of that sweet perfume
It sure smells good on you
Slide on your lipstick
And let all your hair down'
Cause, baby, when you get through
I'm gonna show off you


What Not To Wear



(pictures via Oh No They Didn't)

Now I can't say for certain that Rihanna's outfit is from the HOD but it does look like some shit Mama Tina would lay out for Beyonce. I'm thinking this lovely ensemble is from the upcoming junior's line. I bullshit you not.

The collection is expected to have wholesale sales of $30 million in its first year, sources said. Check Group LLC, an apparel manufacturing company here that also produces the House of Dereon contemporary collection, will manufacture and distribute the junior line to select specialty stores nationwide, among them Dr. Jay's, Monies and Man Alive, beginning in September.

"We're playing off the success of House of Dereon," said Victor Azrak, owner of Check Group. "This girl loves the look of Beyonce, but doesn't want to spend the money for the look."

The ads for Dereon, set in a recording studio, are slated to hit billboards, radio, the Internet and Vibe, Teen Vogue and CosmoGirl in September. Rosen said the idea to use Knowles Smith in the campaign for the junior line was in sync with the vision of the brand."Solange really represents that young consumer who is all about her own tastes. She really speaks to that empowered young lady," Rosen said. (source)

Kimussell's Kids Are Too Cute!

After watching Kimora's special on VH-1 a couple of months ago I fell in love with Aoki Lee. I thought her soulful rendition of "It's Like That" was better than Mimi's performance in the video.

I, Freshalina Lee Simmons-Sharper vow that my children when be fabulostic like this one day.

Rumor Control: Did Cognac Jack Have An Accident?



About 12 people have emailed me this story in the last hour. I'm having a hard time believing this shit. I think somebody had a little too much time on their hands. Check it out for yourself:

NEW YORK CITY (CNN) -- On the set of her rap music video, "Bilingual", Remy Ma (of the rap group Terror Squad) gets 'tangled up'.

Remy Ma, the female MC in Fat Joe's Terror Squad, was reportedly injured on the set of her new video. Early reports from anonymous label representatives and workers on hand at the video set indicate that the conceited rapper was rushed to a local New York City area hospital after her hair got caught in a spinning fan blade.

The video was for her song "Bilingual" featuring her significant other, Ivy Queen. The costume designer and hair stylist told us that Remy Ma wanted "very elaborate hair extensions" to complete her new look in the video. Reportedly, Remy Ma was rehearsing choreographed dance steps behind a high-powered industrial fan commonly found on studio sets when it switched on and sucked her hair into the motor. The video's crew struggled for several minutes trying to untangle her hair. An anonymous crew member said Remy made it "more difficult" as she demanded that they "save her hair."

Remy was taken in an ambulance with Ivy Queen by her side. Remy Ma's album, "There's Something About Remy" was released this February in conjunction with the death anniversary of the late Big Pun, one of the founding members of the Terror Squad.


Is Jill Marie Jones Leaving Girlfriends?

After being directed to the new website for the CW Network I noticed that Jill Marie Jones isn't any where to be found. I haven't been keeping up with the show much lately but it would feel kind of weird not having her on there.

Returning for its triumphant seventh year, GIRLFRIENDS provides an open, honest exploration of the hot-button issues about family, friends, relationships and careers facing women today through the lives and loves of theee Los Angeles women. Taking on universal subjects that interest all women with fearlessness and sincerity -- whether it's learning to date after divorce or balancing friendships and a new marriage --GIRLFRIENDS treats them
all with tenderness, care and respect.

The series stars Tracee Ellis Ross (Hanging Up) as Joan Clayton, Golden Brooks (Beauty Shop) as Maya Wilkes and Persia White as Lynn Searcy . . .

Up Close And Personal With TyTy



If there is one thing that stars need to know when they hit the red carpet its this: make sure that all of your sexy is preserved before you hit it! High quality pictures can be a star's worst enemy. If I'm not mistaken Tyra made Danielle get her mustache waxed on an earlier episode of ANTM. Now it looks like everything has come full circle. (pictures via I Don't Like You In That Way) Sorry TyTy but even the "hood" can't justify that shit.

When I was in middle school my best friend (who is going to kill me after she reads this) told me that "boys who had dirt around his mouth ate coochie." I've always kept that close to my heart. One day when I'm old and gray I'm going to make a daily inspiration calendar and put that tidbit on her birthday.

Slate magazine has an interesting article about TyTy. It is making me think my allegiance to the show over. Shame on her if its true. Thanks Da Real for the links :)


Happy New Edition Day!



I still get tickled when I see Johnny Gill in that damn pink tie. Still. Can you believe that today is New Edition Day? I'm so excited!

Officials in Atlanta, Georgia are honoring 'New Edition,' members Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Johnny Gill by proclaiming today as 'New Edition Day.' The group will receive the 'Phoenix Award,' for their achievements in the music industry as well as contributions to the community. Ronnie DeVoe now heads a real estate firm, 'The DeVoe Team,' and will host a networking lunch today to bring together business professionals, entertainers, athletes and policy makers in the community.

Thanks Tish for the information! And according to Sandra Rose, Bobby Brown will be hosting a live taping of the greatness that is Being Bobby Brown and Club Insomnia. Tina Brown's punk ass might appear as a co-host, ugh.

Wait, There's More

Has this woman made it her life mission to look like a complete mess everywhere she goes? I think so. Even her back looks through dealing as my Mama would say. *scoffs* And she had the audacity to talk about Nippy. The nerve of some folks. Thanks Bama Bred for the heads up.



Danielle And Tyra @ CW Network Event

I simply cannot get enough of Danielle. I'm so proud of that girl. She looks a thousand times better than these broads in my opinion. Bitches look dead on arrival. Somebody needs to feed Yoanna some Ensure through an IV before her ass tetters over.



About a month ago while watching the movie "Lean On Me" (classic material people) I noticed Miss Jay's sister in a scene. Okay, so I can't confirm that she is but its a close enough match for me. Work it.


Peabo Bryson Does Not Care About John Legend



I'm sorry but for whatever reason I find this shit hilarious. Peabo needs to get back to his co-hosting duties on the "Classic Soul Ballads" infomercial and stop messing with John. He know that boy sensitive.

A few of my AHH buddies went to see Peabo Bryson and The Whispers live at the Newark Symphony Hall in New Jersey over the festive Mother's Day weekend. Well, Mr. Bryson, who is a legend without question, let John Legend (and these other young whipper snappers) have it. "John legend is never going to be doing what I can do," Peabo said of the G.O.O.D. Music artist. He then said that there were only about a half-dozen current performers that could even sing a lick. At the same time, he propped up old schoolers like Jeff Osborn, James Ingram, Luther Vandross, Al Jarreau and others. He said something like he's not ego driven, but God has an ego and blessed him. He then sang his a** off for the crowd, garnering a standing ovation. But, why diss John Legend . . . why not somebody that really has no talent? They're just ordinary people, Peabo, take it slow on them! (

What About Michelle?

Former Destiny's Child singers Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland will headline Macy's Glamorama event, which debuted as Marshall Field's Fash Bash in Minneapolis in 1992 and in Chicago in 1999 to raise money for cancer research and the arts.

Beyonce will grace the stage at the Chicago Theatre on Sept. 29 and Rowland will headline the Minneapolis event at the Orpheum Theatre on Sept. 21. Both artists will perform songs from their new solo albums due in stores this year. As honorary chairs of Glamorama, Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles will also introduce their clothing line, House of Dereon, which will make its runway debut during the show's grand finale.

Candids of Ruben In Miami

Just the other day the Dealer asked what Ruben was up to. I told him the last that I heard he was losing weight and working on a Gospel album.

Guess not. But that's okay! I actually thought Ruben was Rick Ross at first. I know, I know but he is on a beach in Miami. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are chilling at Trick Daddy's (who not only looks like he reeks of transmission fluid but is also a card carrying member of Team Chunk) house eating conch fritters. Reuben still gets groupie love and that's all that matter. The quality of said groupie isn't that great but whatever. I hope these aren't the type of women he was messing with when he said sorry for 2004. Ilk, the visualization of Rueben in a hot tub with these broads is not good on an empty stomach.

Hope you're computer doesn't catch the clap from this. See more at CL, thats Jai for the email!

Holla At Ya Boy For A Hot Mess

Ya Boy (who looks like a baby Cassidy - - Fresh), born William Crawford, appeared on the San Francisco radio show 'Strawberry in the Morning' where he apparently tried to take writing credits for two songs on K-Fed's album, 'F- the Media' and 'America's Most Hated.' "Yep, both of those. Yep," claimed Crawford.

"He just came at me and was like, 'Yo, I need you on my team. Like, I need you to lead me in the right direction.' So I put K-Fed under my wing and I'm just showing him the ropes of the rap game... I mean, basically, K-Fed wants to be a rapper. I'm going to try to help him do what he want to do. I mean, dude has millions."

While the 21-year-old rapper was eager to take credit for two songs, when his involvement on Federline's tune 'PopoZao' (K-Fed's first single all about women's buttocks) was mentioned, Ya' Boy scoffed, "I didn't have nothing to [do] with that, dog," he insisted.

Marilyn Lopez, Federline's spokesperson didn't see it the same way.

"This is not true that Ya' Boy has put Kevin under his wing," she said. "They do, however, collaborate together."
(via
ONTD)
I'm sorry but I wouldn't take credit for that shit. Ya Boy? C'mon on now, we have got to do better. I hate it when people tell me to holla at my boy. Do you know how annoying that would be to try to explain to someone that you actually did it?

"I talked to Ya Boy today. You know, Ya Boy." I'm getting pissed thinking about it.

How Janet Lost A Whole Olsen Twin In Months

The buzz in Hollywood is about Janet's gigantic loss -- but this particular loss is a good thing. Ms. Jackson has shrunk into a shadow of her former large self, and only TMZ knows how she did it. Janet's secret is not lipo, not starvation, not gastric bypass. A few months back, Janet signed up for a healthy gourmet delivery service called Fresh Dining, a company that is becoming Hollywood's new thing.

Sources tell us that Fresh Dining customized the meals to maximize a quick result, emphasizing foods low in carbs and high in protein. Janet's breakfasts range from buckwheat pancakes to scrambled eggs with a side of turkey bacon. Her lunches came with an emphasis on salads -- seared tuna with fresh greens is a favorite. She also chowed down on cranberry salad with fresh greens, toasted walnuts and blue cheese. For dinner the singing icon feasted on filet mignon, as well as seared line-caught salmon with lentils and fresh baby vegetables. Fresh Dining also specializes in low carb pasta suppers. Meals range between 1000 and 1400 calories per day.

Myspace Is The Devil

Good morning ballers and ball-ettes! Looks like Hewpz has finally decided to take the time out to create a Myspace profile. I don't blame the girl. I've been to so many profiles where some strange fuck has decided to hijack someone's identity. That's one of the corniest things you can do on the internet by the way. Anyway, if you have checked out Hewpz's profile already you'll notice a scantily clad young lady looking in her cupboard for some scooby snacks. It's her 16 year old sister! And according to her she has what all the niggas want. I've seen it all, I really have. I hope your computer doesn't catch VD.

Speaking of the monster that is Myspace, I wrote an entry about it over at XXL. My God says check it out and you will be blessed.

05.16.2006 Hoe Sit Down: Golden Brooks

A while back I told myself that the Golden Brooks HAM post were getting a bit redundant. I even started to feel bad for her. But she just had to go and open her mouth and bad mouth Nippy. I can't go for that.

Glam actress Golden Brooks -- who stars in the UPN comedy series "Girlfriends" -- wishes Whitney Houston would stay off the tube and disappear in India. "Reality TV is the lowest form of art, and it's not even art," Brooks tells Steppin' Out mag. "It's like a TV dinner. It disgusts me. It's cheap. I watched the Whitney Houston show, and I cried. It broke my heart. I always wanted to be like her when I grew up, and now I look at her and it's so embarrassing. . . It's a horror movie." (source)


Golden I see your ass at these red carpet events looking like you just woke up and its like a horror movie. Nippy is on crack, we all know that. But what the hell are you on? Hoe sit down until further notice.


Rumor Control: Is Rhianna Stealing Jay-Z From Beyonce

I seriously doubt that this rumor has an ounce of truth to it but it does make for good conversation.

Trouble is brewing for hip hop's hottest couple - Jay Z and Beyonce. And that trouble is being caused by one of Jay Z's newest artists, Rihanna. Rumors are beginning to circulate that Rihanna is becoming uncomfortably close to her mentor Jay Z. And that closeness reportedly bothers Jay Z's longtime girlfriend Beyonce. As one entertainment insider tells us, "Rihanna is desperately trying to steal Beyonce's look, her style, and even her sound ... I wouldn't be surprised if now she's trying to steal Beyonce's man."

At a recent NJ Nets game, Beyonce's frustration boiled over. According to a fan seated near the couple, Beyonce lost her cool when Jay Z received a 15 minute telephone call from Rihanna. Beyonce reportedly yelled out "why do you keep talking to her" and stormed out of the arena before Jay Z had a chance to explain.

And in a MediaTakeOut.com exclusive, we have learned that Beyonce may truly have something to worry about. Last month, while Beyonce was in Los Angeles accepting a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, Jay Z was reportedly in New York City wining and dining Rihanna. While the two did attend a series of business meetings, they also had dinner for two at Cipriani's and later that evening the pair was spotted entering one of the private rooms at Jay Z's 40/40 club. Our spy tells us that Jay Z and the young singer were all alone in the screened off room for more than four hours.

We contacted one of Jay Z's representatives who admitted that the Jigga Man and Rihanna have been spending a lot of time together. But the rep vehemently denied that anything is going one between the two. According to the rep, "it takes a lot to groom an artist and Jay's just putting in the work."

Oprah's Ball Gets Pushed Back, Denies Gay Rumors

With absolutely no respect for May sweeps, President Bush chose to address the nation on his immigration proposal last night at 8 p.m., the start of prime time television and the timeslot where ABC had scheduled Oprah's "Legend's Ball" special. Unwilling to compete with the leader of the free world, ABC chose to scrap last night's scheduled airing and move the special back a week, to May 22 at 8 p.m. . . . .

At XM Satellite Radio's party in New York Thursday to celebrate the September launch of her new channel "Oprah & Friends," the TV mogul said she and longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham are very much a happy couple, despite rumors to the contrary. King, also on hand for the party, was introduced by Winfrey as one of the "Friends" to appear on "Oprah & Friends." "You know, there are all these rumors about us "being gay," Oprah said, according to the New York Daily News. "We are not gay. If I was gay, I would tell you." At that, King shouted out, "Should we make the announcement now?" (Eurweb)

Rockmond Dunbar Talks About Divorce

'Prison Break' regular Rockmond Dunbar says the last few months have been bittersweet with his career on the upswing -- and his personal life on the down.'A little over a month ago I filed for divorce,' reveals Dunbar, for the first time, to this column. 'I deserve a partner who's going to be my partner 100 percent of the time.'Dunbar says he's 'not angry' with his soon-to-be-ex. 'I wish her happiness. There are no ill feelings, no ill thoughts, nothing.' He adds, 'At the end of the day it's sort of like my life is doing spring cleaning - getting rid of all the things I don't need, that aren't healthy and making room for the all the good stuff that I'm really excited about.' He adds that he had an epiphany one day 'in church. The Pastor said 'Get rid of what is not serving you' and I realized fear is not serving me and that's been holding me back from my blessings.'

Cognac Jack Hits The Stage For A Good Cause

DJ and Hot 97 New York on-air personality Fatman Scoop is pitching in to do his part for the community by hosting a benefit to raise funds for the non-profit organization Safe Space on Monday (May 15). Scoop will be hosting "Lights, Camera, Action: A Night Where Stars Shine," the annual Spring Benefit for Safe Space, at the BB King Blues Club. The event, which will showcase the talents of youth from the Safe Space Arts Academy, also features performances by Remy Ma and John Lloyd Young from the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys." Proceeds from the benefit will support programs for Safe Space, including the Arts Academy, High Risk Drop-In Center and Community Health Services.

"The Spring Benefit is a wonderful opportunity for our many supporters to experience the amazing talents of the youth in our Arts Academy," Safe Space CEO Lilliam Barrios-Paoli said via statement.

HOD Photoshoot Featuring Solange



Before I could read the caption of the pictures on Getty Images I thought Madame Tussaud's had hooked Beyonce up with another wax statue. But its was only Solange. I never really thought that the two sisters looked much alike until recently. Add some weave and a high powered fan to the equation and they really resemble each other. Nepotism is alive and well but I'm not mad at her. Shit let my brother hit it big. I'll be more than happy to spend his money. Check out pictures from the photoshoot at Getty since I'm too lazy to download more.



DMX Gets Arrested, Again



DMX is such a damn crackhead. I remember when he first dropped "Get At Me Dog" I was certified obsessed with him. I went out and copped every magazine he did a cover for, taped pictures of him along side Allen Iverson in my locker, and occasionally barked at my friends during lunch. You couldn't pay me (okay maybe you can) to listen to a DMX album now. Someone should sign his ass up for 'Intervention.'

US hip hop star turned Hollywood actor DMX has accepted a police caution after he was arrested at Heathrow airport for abusing cabin crew. The 35-year-old, who shot to fame as a rapper with street anthem 'Get At Me Dog', apparently refused to do up his seat belt properly as his plane made its final approach and then launched into a tirade.

The captain of the American Airlines flight from New York's JFK airport alerted police and DMX - real name Earl Simmons - was arrested once the plane had landed at around 12.15pm on Saturday. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "Heathrow Police were called at 12.05pm on Saturday to reports of a passenger causing a disturbance on an inbound aircraft. "The plane landed at approximately 12.15pm and a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being verbally abusive to cabin crew. "He was taken to the police station and later released with a caution." (

Tyra Goes To Jail

I normally don't watch talk shows but I may have to make an exception Thursday for this one.

Would you commit a crime for love? Tyra goes behind bars at the California Institution for Women to understand why the rate at which women are being incarcerated has increased dramatically over the past decade. Once inside, Tyra gets fingerprinted and even endures a strip search before she enters her cell. Once inside, Tyra experiences life with the inmates and shows you what it's like to be deprived of freedom. Tyra talks with the prisoners, including cold-blooded murderers, to find out how they ended up behind bars. Shockingly, almost all of the women Tyra meets are in prison because of their relationships with men.

Next Week: Tyra goes undercover as a crackhead. Just joking but you know it could happen.

Bey-Z On The Rocks?

Allow me to hate for a moment. Jay-Z is still the president of Def Jam, correct? This nigga stays on vaca. Now that's the type of job I want. Does he even bother to show up at the office? I mean really. Most of my former bosses at least attempted to give the facade that they were "busy."

There have been buzz circulating that there may be trouble in paradise for Bey-Z.

The tension wasn't only on the court at Monday's Net-Heat game. Sources say Beyonce had a roiling blowup with Jay-Z as New Jersey dribbled over Miami, 100-88. "She stormed off and flew back home," one tipster said. Beyoncé's East and West Coast publicists were blissfully unaware of any fireworks. "I don't know if she had a fight," sniffed Columbia Records' Yvette Noel-Schure, who declined to contact her Grammy-winning client to find out for sure. (New York Post) Thanks for the tip Yllona :)


Star Gets Arrested, Replaced By Egypt

The only thing I have to say about this is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Hip-hop shock jock Star was lured to Police Headquarters and then busted yesterday for his sick on-air rant about molesting the 4-year-old daughter of a rival. Charged with endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated harassment, a smirking and defiant Star declared, "You're looking at the new Lenny Bruce."

He made the dubious comparison to the late comedian - whose use of obscenities led to repeated arrests - as cops walked him handcuffed out of the 1st Precinct stationhouse to take him to Manhattan Criminal Court. Star, 42, whose real name is Troi Torain, was canned Wednesday after making shockingly ugly, racist and lewd comments over several days on Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM).

I also received a press release from Kat Walk Media that Egypt will be replacing Star on the morning show. Check it:

Egypt, a 10-year veteran on-air personality, will join New York City's Power 105.1 FM morning show as co-host of its new syndicated program "LIVE with Tigger & Egypt", replacing the morning show formerly known as The Star & Bucwild Show, Monday through Friday from 6am-10am ET.

Egypt, better known by her fans as the sexy and vibrant personality heard on Power 105.1 FM'
s airwaves on the weekends from 6-10pm, has been a notable personality on New York City radio for over 5 years. Prior to joining the Clear Channel family, Egypt was a member of the 107.5 WBLS’ team as their midday personality. Over her ten-year reign as one of the better known Queens of radio, she was an on-air personality with Philadelphia's 100.3 The Beat and later moved on to Baltimore's 92Q where she was voted by Baltimore magazine as "the #1 personality in the City." In addition, Egypt was named #2 on R&R Magazine's "Power Player on the Rise" Top 10 List.

I don't know where I would be without online shopping. I pratically skip to my mailbox everyday because I know there's something new in there waiting for me. A few minutes ago I was on the Sistahs of Harlem website looking around and guess who I spotted. Our exotic bi-racial butterfly Jade! This isn't the first time I've spotted this girl out of the blue. I told Michael K earlier that early one Saturday morning I saw her ass in the video for "Grimey" by Noreaga. I tried to YouTube that bitch but I didn't have any luck. She looks all spaced out and shit in it, pretty damn funny.

Russ Don't Love Them Hoes

Russell denies top model affair. Russ recently denied spreading reports that he was dating former America's Next Top Model winner, Naima Mora. While accounts said Simmons and Mora got cosy at a Complex Magazine party, the mogul claims they have never met. SOHH.com spotted Mora at a T-Mobile and Samsung function earlier this week. Russ was nowhere to be seen. Simmons also dismissed reports that he wore red tights and white shorts while singing Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" to an unidentified woman in the Toronto, Canada airport, claiming he hasn't been in the T. Dot in years. (SOHH Pulse Report)

Well my damn, even I don't know what to say about that one.

Everybody Loves Chris

Until he acts like a nigga. Last summer there were reports that "Rush Hour 3" was off because Chris was acting like a little bitch. Jackie Chan was trying to talk to reporters about it but they couldn't understand what the hell he was saying. Anyway, it looks like the party is back on again. I'm sure it would be worth the wait.

Comedian Chris Tucker will have $25 million in his bank account from New Line Cinema to star in the upcoming "Rush Hour 3," whether the film is made or not. According to Fox.com, the actor has a "pay or play" clause in his contract that means he will still receive the paycheck, which is $5 million more than previously announced, even if the film never goes into production. Tucker's co-star, Jackie Chan, will receive $15 million under a pay or play deal, and director Brett Ratner will be paid $8 million for his efforts.

According to Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman, all principals in the "Rush Hour 3" project will receive some kind of advance before cameras begin rolling in late August in New York. Tucker's track record at the box office may have had something to do with New Line's willingness to secure him with a large sum. "Rush Hour 2" is the highest grossing comedy of all time, and the total worldwide take for the first two films was $600 million.

At last the day has come where we can add Tyra's name to the Team Chunk roster. Well, kinda. Tyra is not at ReRe's status by any means, just spreading out a little. Like . . . Hamburger Helper. You know, the longer that shit sits there the thicker it gets. Sorry for the weak comparison but its been a long day. I'm glad that another bitch is out there taking a stab at the food pyramid. I'm not mad at her one bit. At least we don't have to worry about her ass falling out somewhere. I think I'll drink an extra Chek soda in her honor after I publish this. But that hair line?

Kelly Rowland Is Pissed!

Kelandria almost had to take her wig and "air-rangs" off after hearing reports that the new millenium Joe Jackson Matthew Knowles is her Pops.

Kelly Rowland has lashed out at reports she shares a biological father with her former Destiny's Child bandmate Beyonce Knowles. The Survivor singer lived with the Knowles family from the age of eleven after her home life fell apart. When Rowland's mother, Doris Garrison, lost her job as pharmacy tech, she asked Matthew and Tina Knowles if they could take care of Kelly until she got back on her feet. By all accounts, Doris was still around. She had a key to the Knowles home and would come by to check Kelly's homework and cook. Doris also spent weekends and holidays there and attended church with the Knowleses.

Eventually, what began as an emergency plan evolved into a permanent living arrangement. "It just kind of happened," says Kelly. "I stayed with the Knowleses for a summer. A summer turned into a year, a year turned into three years, and three years turned into 10. * I was very happy. People look at that whole situation and don't understand. But everybody has a different way of growing up. I was okay because when I came into their home, the Knowleses made me feel like I was one of their own kids. I felt lucky to have three parents instead of just one."

For all the rumors that Beyonce's father, Matthew Knowles is actually Kelly's biological as well, Kelly, who rarely uses profanity has this to say: 'It's a lie from the pit of hell.' Rowland's mother, Doris Garrison, describes Kelly's father as an abuser. Garrison told Vibe Vixen magazine, 'He didn't provide for us. He was abusive to me--verbally, mentally, physically, all of it.' Kelly says, "My parents' situation was so terrible. I don't know where I would be if my real father was still in my life. He hasn't tried to find me and I have not tried to find him."

When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong

I wasn't going to mention this idiotic shit at first since it made me sick to my stomach but since I talked about it briefly over at XXL so I decided to do the same here for those of you who hadn't heard the news already. You can read the transcript over at Hip Hop Music.

Radio host Star, of Power 105's "The Star and Buc Wild Morning Show," was terminated Wednesday following a news conference that blasted him for broadcasting sexual remarks about a rival host's 4-year-old daughter.

In recent broadcasts, Star threatened to track down his rival's daughter, offered money to anyone who would tell him where she attended school and repeatedly described the degrading sexual acts he wanted to perform on her. He also claimed to carry a gun.

"Where does this kid go to school? I got 500 bucks for that information," Star said. "Oh, yes, I'll come for your kids." (continue) Thanks for the emails DW and Jamila!

Leave Nippy Alone

The National Enquirer isn't a reputable source for information but this is sick. I hope everything is fine with Nippy's health. If so she should sue their ass and spend the money on another crack binge.

Pop superstar Whitney Houston has furiously denied reports she has been diagnosed with a deadly brain tumour, and has threatened US tabloid The National Enquirer with legal action.

The I Will Always Love You hitmaker has been dogged by reports questioning her health and alleged drug use in recent months.

Houston's publicist says: "It's an absolute lie and Ms Houston is evaluating her legal options at this time."

However, The National Enquirer is refusing to back down: "We are standing by the story 100%."

You Sent It: Who Wants To Hang Out With Hewpz?

This story was sent in to me by Ninja Girrl and I thought it was pretty damn amusing.

Okay the other day up in your spot, I asked What in the HELL does HOOPZ actually do? I found out, a college in my town (Rochester, NY-western ny) Monroe Community College is having a college party at this this spot called Montage Grill (jazz lounge) yesterday on the radio I heard an ad for the party, the "SPECIAL STAR GUEST" is HOOPZ!!! STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!! She got on the radio and was like "yo what's up this is your girl HOOPZ come on down to the club all you ballers and ball-ettes (BALL-ETTES!!!!!!!!) and check me out..........and make sure you bring your "A" game when you come." She then proceeded to say that everyone needs to dress to impress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this from the tank top Queen.

So rumor has it that between the little Black student Union at the college and the promoters StiffArm Productions paid her $2000 for this club appearance! + hotel/flight!!! ARE THEY SERIOUS!! The whole premise of the night out is "Come Party with Hoopz". My whole town is in an uproar not because of her, but because they are hoping T.I. (ewwww) might roll through with her, I WILL not be attending that Ghetto-fest, but there is a secret part of me that wants to just to take a pic of the lates tank for you. So now at least I know what she does, this how the trick makes her dough. What title do you go under when all you do is "Club Tours"? Executive Director of the Ball-ette's of America?? How does that go on your resume? WTF??

Stiff Arm Productions ya'll. That goes along great with Hewpz! Everybody knows she got those little slap boxing biceps. My darling Nikki, what are we going to do with you? I'm not surprised that she's decided to cash in on her "fame." I was at a club in Miami and Buffie the Body was the host of a party. Yes they actually gave her a microphone. But Buffie and Hewpz have more things in common that what we may know. They both appeared as Street Gang Models of the Week last year. Its a small world.


P.Diddy Child Support Drama

Misa Hilton Brim is trying to Diddy back on them papers, ya'll. Well she never took him off by any means but she wants more money. In my opinion Microdiddy doesn't need $19,000 a month to preserve his sexy. I bet she is the one spending that child support money on all of those damn wigs and hanging out with Kimora.

When it comes to easing his paternity problems, Sean Combs is getting diddly from the courts. The New York Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear an appeal brought by the hip-hop impresario otherwise known as Diddy that hoped to overturn a lower court ruling ordering him to pony up more than $19,000 a month in child support.

Combs' ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton-Brim won a family court decision in Westchester County in October 2004 forcing the rapper-entrepreneur to fork over $35,000 a month to care for their 12-year-old son, Justin. The fashion stylist had sought to up the original $2,795 Combs was originally ordered to pay in 1996; she also wanted to collect nearly $400,000 in back support.

The entertainer balked--saying the $35,000 monthly amount was the highest court-mandated child-support payment in U.S. history--and appealed. An appellate judge initially dropped the monthly payments to $21,782 and then reduced it further to $19,000. By declining the appeal, Diddy is now on the hook to start cranking out the checks.

The Replacement Killers



The rumors about Star Jones Reynolds' position on 'The View' get better with each passing day. A lof of you guys have been hitting me up saying that there is some talk about Vanessa Williams or Queen Latifah replacing Starletta. I have no idea but I wouldn't mind seeing either of them on the show. I think Queen Latifah would me a great choice (minus the Amos & Andy number) but I believe she is too busy for it. Vanessa Williams is also a good selection. Maybe ABC will even put more than one black woman on the show, shut up! Which brings me to today's poll question. Who would you choose as Star's replacement?


Candids of Michelle Rodriguez And A.J. Calloway



If you haven't already heard Michelle Rodriguez is fresh out of her stay in CB4. I personally can't stand the bitch. If you like to go out and get drunk then fine. But don't get your dumb ass behind the wheel. I've known so many people that have been effected by drunk drivers and it pisses me off. She needs to take her ass to the 'Starting Over' house at once!

It looks like her and A.J. were out strolling the city streets for some new pussy. . .or at least that's what I'm assuming. Fresh fish getting passed for left to right, ya'll. A.J. is a married man though so I would hope that isn't the case. Check out the ring on that limp wrist. Michelle must have been hanging with Christina Millian because she looks like a cute cheetoo too. Check out more pictures of the pair at CL!


Buffie The Body 'Calls Tyrone'

Here you go guys and gals, music video superstar Buffie the Body is now an actress! Buffie "the body" Curruth is absolutely a head turner for both men and women. This time she'll be turning the pages of a book playing the role as a college student. This movie will showcase not only her striking physical features, but her quick wit, intelligence and determination. After turning down countless small independent films, this is the opportunity she's been waiting for. (BetterCallTyrone.com)

Wait one damn minute. They know they need to stop damn lying. These folks obviously have never heard this shit or they wouldn't have gave her a speaking role. She maybe an "expiration" to some women but for this one hell no.

About The Movie

The movie is a drama/comedy about Tyrone McFarlin that decided to make a difference by departing from the dangerous street life and going to college to major in business and music. With the help and guidance of his brother Ken Ivy (a.k.a Pimpin Ken) Tyrone encounters responsibility, and the meaning of having an education on a university campus in Atlanta, Georgia. With youngsters from different countries, races, and social backgrounds he has problems such as financial, self doubt and his purpose in life. Unfortunately, just seven days before graduation, a jealous friend frames Tyrone of committing a felony. Now it's up to Tyrone to prove that he's innocent or else his new life will be the life of a prisoner.

The shit is darksided. Spotted at Ya Heard (I almost forgot to link them since I was, ahem, handling some things).

Dennis Rodman's Dad Is Crazy As Hell


Dennis Rodman, who hadn't seen his father in over a decade, found himself face to face with the man recently during an exhibition basketball game in Manila. But instead of kisses and hugs between the estranged pair, there were only punches. Before the NBA Legends and the stars of Team Philippines entered the court Monday night, the center of attraction was not Dennis "Bad Boy" Rodman, in whose moniker the exhibition game was named after. All eyes were on Philander Rodman Jr., the father of the former Chicago Bull, as he entered the Big Dome and settled to his ringside seat. He was accompanied by a couple of bodyguards. Philander was hoping to talk with Rodman, who was only three years old when he left their home and never came back. But Philander wouldn't have that opportunity.

According to Rodman's agent Darren Prince, the athlete's dad, Philander, showed up at the game "with a camera crew and an entourage of eight people and two bodyguards - he had apparently sold the rights to get him on camera with Dennis." A fight broke out, and Philander allegedly tried to punch Rodman's bodyguard, but missed. After downing several cans of beer, which were left scattered under his seats, he left the venue, shouting and cursing his son. Dennis was immediately escorted to the dugout by his body guards and the event's security personnel. Obviously, he still harbors ill feelings toward his father.

The feeling, after the snub, is now mutual. "Dennis felt used and was angry as his father has made only one attempt in 40 years to see or talk to him, and that was in 1996 when he wanted the rights to write a book about Dennis," Prince told the New York Post. Undeterred, Philander later went to Rodman's hotel, with camera crew in tow, and was promptly chased away by armed guards. According to Prince, "hundreds of fans" soon got a whiff of what was going on and began chanting: "Get out of here, you deadbeat dad."

Ashanti's New Movie

The official website for singer-actress Ashanti has revealed that she will appear in the "trilogy finale" Resident Evil: Extinction. The site does not reveal which role she will play in the Screen Gems film. She'll join returning stars Milla Jovovich, Oded Fehr, Sienna Guillory, Mike Epps and Iain Glen in the movie, based on the popular video game franchise.

"Extinction" revolves around the continuing battle against the evil Umbrella by Alice (Jovovich) and her allies. Russell Mulcahy is directed a script by Paul W.S. Anderson in Mexico. Germany's Constantin Film and Impact Pictures are producing. The first two films grossed more than $127 million at the North American box office. (source)

Good for her, I hope she does well. But I'm still not convinced about Mike Epps.


Kimora Gets Draped Up In Fur For GQ

Kimora is everywhere. I went to Wal-Mart the other day and saw her on the cover of Jet with Ming and Aoki. Talking about keeping it together after a divorce, bitch please. I just want her and Nick Lachey to shut the fuck up about their marriages ending. I swear I want to punch him in the chest and tell him to buck up.

Playing Catch Up: Kentucky Derby Pictures

I've never really been able to get into the whole action of the Kentucky Derby. For whatever reason I can't get excited watching horses run around and around a fucking track. Now if they put my neighbors Nicole and O.J. out there chasing each other than I'll be the first one there with my Church of God hat on. I'd rather make the PETA folks pissed off and support pitbull fights anyway.

STFU T.Error Mari!

Apparently T.Error is pissed because someone has been cyber swagger jacking her. Here's the bullentin she posed on myspace:

I am truly sadden that I am having to do this but I am leaving My Space. I will also tell the promotions department to not create another page for "Second Round" I am also dissapointed by some people's behavior towards me. I update you all regularly with exclusive information that non of the FAKES can give you. I gave you the title of my second album and the first single. I DID THAT!

I faithfully each day respond to each and every message, tell me what other celebrity does that? As a matter of fact I don't even consider myself a celebrity because I am still new to the game and I am trying to get my shine but I can't when you are not sticking by me. The other pages have away messages on. WHY? They can't answer your questions because THEY DON'T KNOW ME. They are posting Teairra@rocafella as my two-way pager but that isn't even on no more. That was last year.

I bet they can't even tell you, who I use to date when I was in the 7th grade. They can't even tell you the street I live on. I bet they can't even tell you what I am doing in school now. Who my friends are. What clique I ride for.

I tried my best to just ignore it but when people are coming at you with negative comments, it's like WTF! So.,...............I'm done.

All my real fans, I LOVE YA!

The month of May is brand spankin new so my Beyonce/Jay-Z vacation quota has restarted. I can't get enough of these two. I heart Beyonce's goofy ass. Maybe one day I'll be fortunate to go on vaca at the drop of the hat along with Darren (heh). Until then I will continue to live vicariously through these two. I'm officially on Beyonce thick watch.

Rumor Control: Does Gabby Have A New Man?



My inbox has being having more action than Janet Jackme's vaginal walls in the past 48 hours over Gabrielle Union and Darren Sharper. Now when I see a man as fine as Darren I know there is a God. Of course I can't confirm or deny the rumors but I think the are a cute one ass couple. She played a cheerleader in "Bring It On" and he's in the NFL for goodness sakes.

Unfortunately this is the real world and Darren could be just be one hell of a rebound. But I'm crossing my fingers for these two. I actually want them to procreate! I'm convinced the kids would have the perfect pearlies.


Girl Stop: Lil' Mo In Miami


Lil' Mo was looking very Jacki-O like at the So So Def pool party in Miami on May 5th. I'm no Joan Rivers but I don't think that the outfit is a good look at all. In my opinion I think she is in pretty damn good shape to push out two (?) kids. But the Baby Gap was created with the chil'rens in mind, not your grown ass.

She then decided to channel her hidden inner city genie the next night. She even made Lil' Wayne look a little hot, ha ha. C'mon girl! You can't keep doing this shit. I love you like cooked food but I can't sit back and let this shit go down like this. Goddis'love would not approve of the outfit that Mommy selected. But in her defense she wasn't the only walking around Dade county looking greasy and drained from the heat.


Akademiks Photoshoot Featuring Keyshia Cole

However fugly Keyshia's dual toned lace front wig may be, there is no denying the influence that it has had on the chicks in my hood. I feel like an accessory to the hair crime for doing their strands like that. Every week there is a new victim ringing my doorbell with a picture of Cognac Jack that she has clipped out of a magazine asking for the look. And I oblige them. Yup, I ain't no good.

Keyshia had a photoshoot with Akademiks on May 5th in New York City. *In Tyra Banks mode* As I review the film, ahem, I don't see much. But I'm sure the big wigs at the clothing company will select a few hot pictures for the ad campaign.



I'm Back!

What's up everybody! Seems like I've been gone a decade from this blogsphere and it was only two and a half days. Thanks to everybody for the berfday wishes. I had a great time Saturday chillin' with my folks over in Duval. I managed to get low with a midget (real talk as they say), watch a nigga fall in a puddle of Hennessey, and do the tootsie roll like it was 199quad; all the makings of a perfect night. Well almost perfect. On our way back home to Georgah, a car about five vehicles ahead of us flipped over on the bridge Mission Impossible style. B-a-n-a-n-a-s.

Anyway, I'm still trying to get back in the loop of what's going on. So if you've already seen some of the stuff I may post then deal with it! Nah but please don't start whining an' shit about it. Now on with the post!

If they make a video for this shit expect black people to be set back about another 700 years.

I Have More Money Than Suge Knight

It's hard out here for a ... rap music mogul.

Death Row Records chief Marion (Suge) Knight claims he's down to $11 in the bank and a little bling in his jewelry box while he owes $137.4 million in debts, according to bankruptcy court papers obtained by the Daily News.

Knight and his record company filed for Chapter 11 last month in a bid to dodge a $107 million civil judgment he was ordered to pay to ex-business associate Lydia Harris, who claims she and her ex-husband, Michael Harris, helped build the rap empire. In a 22-page filing, Knight says his debts include $11.3 million in federal income tax, $437,000 in state income tax, $9,300 to Nextel, $1,100 to Cingular Wireless and $15,000 on his Orchard Bank credit card

More Proof That Anybody Can Get A Damn Television Show

This fall, VH1 will introduce two new reality series built around hip hop artists. As previously reported, Ice T will try and teach rich private school kids how to rap, and Houston rapper Paul Wall will get his own unscripted series to be produced by Pink Sneakers, the production company behind VH1's ratings winner, "Hogan Knows Best."

VH1 has ordered a pilot for the Paul Wall series, which is likely to follow some aspect of his business hawking high-end grills for celebrity teeth. Ice T's show, titled "Ice-T's Rap School" will feature the West Coast O.G. schooling 7th and 8th graders from New York City's exclusive York Prep on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Whitney Bolts From Rehab

"She's convinced that she doesn't need professional help--that all she really needs is Bobby's love," says the insider. "But Bobby's fed up with trying to cure Whitney's drug addiction, even though he's a major reason she got hooked in the first place. He sees her now as a hopeless case."

Whitney's also angry with Bobby's mother and sister. "They're out to get me and destroy my marriage," she's told friends. A few months ago, Bobby's mom Carol Brown told reporters that Whitney and Bobby were planning to divorce--a statement the couple vehemently denied.

So I'm sitting here reading my Bible when Butta sends me an instant message telling me about a new song called "Gorilla" by R.Kelly. WTF? You know I had to check it out for myself. I'm speechless. Just when you thought that nigga was scraping the bottom of the barrell he goes in the studio and make this shit. He's making monkey noises ya'll! I guess its safe to assume that the remix with have a G-Unit artist on it.

To listen to this shit for yourself log on to BBC 1xtra and click 'hear the show'. Hit the fast forward button a couple of times until the counter lands on 22:15. A Nivea song should already be in progress, hold on tight! After the song is over "Gorilla" will start playing. And of course be sure to leave your feedback.

Tantra Exotic Gets Serious Hot

Hewpz isn't the only "Flavor of Love" contestant who is capitalizing (a term I use very loosely) off of her appearance on the show.

Serious is featured in an ad for a Tantra Exotic & Hi-Level along with Ludacris, who is also a spokesperson for the drink. And yes she still has that same weave with red at the ends, go figure. I guess its become her trademark now. It damn sure makes her easy to spot.

Bill Maher Talks About The Good Times With Karrine

Veteran entertainment columnist Liz Smith, who says she and TV commentator Bill Maher go way back, asked the host of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" about his romantic relationship with dancer-turned-author Karrine Steffans. For starters, Maher revealed that he has begun seeing her again.

"About Karrine, I have only good things to say,' Smith quotes Maher as saying. "If the lovemaking was 'super,' it's because when we were out together, I truly felt like Scott and Zelda. I used to tell her that. Not that I ever, of course, met F. Scott Fitzgerald and his lovely wife, but from what I read, they were this couple that just sizzled with wit when together. And Karrine and I did that with and for each other.

Due to the fact that there was a domestic disturbance going on with my neighbors last night and I just had to post up outside until the police left, I wasn't able to give 100 percent of my attention to ANTM. Its not right but its okay, just makes me look forward more to Rich's recap tomorrow anyway. I'm so proud of my fellow country girl Danielle though. You better work!

Superhoopz: The Saga Continues

Superhoopz just won't go away quietly in the sunset. She sat down with the good folks over at SOHH and cleared the air about T.I., Wendy Williams, and her appearance in that damn reggaeton video. I could really care less about what she has to say but I figured some of you might.

Forget New York. The harsh words Hoopz had for "Flavor of Love" runner-up were tame in comparison to what she has in store for WBLS New York's self-proclaimed "Queen of all Media."

"I'm in her mouth 23/7," Hoopz told SOHH regarding rumors she contends are spread by Williams. "[There are] two hours out of the whole damn week [when] she's not talking about me all together. Now her new thing is I'm fucking everybody in the industry. I'm supposed to be married in three different sides of the world. I'mma get back with her though.

"Fuck that bitch!" Hoopz continued. "Who the fuck is she? A fat ass bitch with a mouth. That's it." Williams could not be reached for comments.

The latest rumor has Hoopz engaging in a threesome with T.I. and an anonymous video vixen. While the Detroit model refuted the menage a trios, she admitted to hanging out with T.I. and revealed that there is tension between her and Tip's boo, Tiny, formerly of R&B quartet Xscape.

Um Hewpz, what the fuck is 23/7? That must be something new the kids are saying now.


Keyshia Cole, Kanye West, and Twista @ TRL

Keyshia Cole, Kanye West, and Twista stopped by 106 & Park yesterday to perform the song "Impossible" off of the "Mission Impossible 3" soundtrack. They then headed to 106 and Park to kick it with Tom Cruise and the rest of the cast from the film. Visit Cake and Ice Cream for more pictures of their appearance at BET. I heart Keyshia's dolphin teeth.

Aisha Tyler Takes It Off For Allure NSFW

Before removing a stitch of clothing, Aisha Tyler wanted to set one thing straight: "I am definitely not a Playboy kind of girl." In fact, the 35-year-old actress, who appears in the CBS series Ghost Whisperer, viewed this disrobing as a personal challenge."Going through with this is like jumping into a very cold lake.I want to do it--and I really don't want to do it."

She has taken the plunge before. "There was one time in college when my husband took Polariods of me," she recalls, "but we lit those on fire." These photographs, however, will endure: "I'll show them to my grandchildren and be like, 'Look at Grandma; she was so tasty!'"

Clickity clack for the photo (NSFW) - - and here's the other half and the article text for you folks with fetishes. She's not spread eagle or anything like that so don't flinch.


Dame Dash Birthday Party Flicks



Dame Dash has always been excellent fodder for slow days here at C+D and you already know why. Its nice to see him with a smile on his face. That's the Dame I know! It looks like he had a fun time at the party. At the birthday bash Alice Smith and Citizen Cope both gave performances. I'm usually up on music but I've never heard of either one of them before. Whatever the case this Alice Smith lady looks like she's really into giving a great show. I mean really into that shit. . . really, see? Bitch better been singing some Mahalia Jackson.





The King Is Back!

Ms. Shovan was right, prayer does changes things. I've been praying for Bobby for sometime now. I've got great news about our friend B. Brown:

Bobby Brown is still looking for the truth and a label to call home, but fortunately, he's finally found a barber.

When MTV News last hooked up with Brown in January, the singer explained the unkempt afro he was rocking as a way of keeping a promise to himself: He said he wouldn't cut his hair until he put out a single. Somebody tell former pro-wrestling great Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake to dust off his shears. Brown is back to getting his hair cut regularly thanks to his new single, "Lying Eyes."

The record finds the singer questioning and chastising what appears to be his girl: "Can it really be what I think I see or am I going out of my mind?/ All my family , they see what I see/ We all can't be that blind/ Who you looking at with those lying eyes .../ Don't you know they're the windows to your soul?"

On Tuesday (May 2), Brown's representative spoke on the singer's behalf, clarifying that the song is not actually about a woman -- especially not Mrs. Brown herself, Whitney Houston. Rather, the singer is addressing his love/hate relationship with the media and its portrayal of his family.

And Rich just told me that he is supposed to be on the Tyra show on Monday. I can't wait to hear what he's got to say.


I give Kimora a lot of shit but I love her. I guess its my Joe Jackson-esque way to show that I care. Gotta love my fellow May babies. Thanks Da Real for telling me. I'm going to paypal you five dollars one of these days :)


2006 MTV Upfront: Feed The Need Flicks

Whenever I'm having a bad day I look to Kanye to make me feel better. He always seems to be right on time. Ah snap! Mr. West is not going to be amused by Ella Rouge (which sounds like one of the church elders) rocking the same jacket as him. Expect a press conference later today.

Kanye, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Ludacris, and Mr. T all came out to MTV Upfront: Feed The Need yesterday. It looks like they need to be feeding Jessica Alba's ass.






The Official "Not This Shit Again" Entry

This morning while going through my RSS feeds sipping my special fabulosity tonic as Kimora instructed I saw a new article talking about the details in Proof's death. After shaking my head for a couple of seconds I closed the window. I surfed a few more sites and then learned that some of T.I.'s entourage was involved in a damn shoot out after a show:

Four members of rapper T.I.'s posse were shot after a highway gun battle in Cincinnati early Wednesday morning. According to The Cincinnati Enquirer, witnesses told police that words were exchanged and a fight broke out inside the Club Ritz at an after-hours party following a show by T.I. and Yung Joc earlier in the evening across town at the Bogart's nightclub.

The fight reportedly moved outside and shots were fired around 3:20 a.m., injuring three men and a woman whose identities have not yet been released. Police told local NBC affiliate, WLWT, that the rolling gun battle began after T.I. left Club Ritz and shots were fired into two vans transporting his entourage as they traveled down the highway.

The shooting led to the closing of the southbound lanes of Interstate 75, one of the two main highways leading to and from downtown Cincinnati, during the morning rush hour as police investigated the three-mile long crime scene. Among the evidence they were looking at was a black van that was believed to belong to T.I., which was found along I-75 after the incident, as well as a white van that was also found along the highway.

Needless to say that pissed me off royally since this all is happening on the heels of Big Hawk getting shot and killed in Houston. Then I decided to turn to ESPN to check out the scores from last night playoff action and see Kwame Brown facing sexual assault allegations.

What the hell next?


New Janet And Jermaine Candids

It's always good to see Janet and Jermaine together. Aww, I never realized she was that short before. I've always liked them as a couple because they seem to be two hard working people. That lucky dwarf! It seems as if I haven't seen them out together in ages. I hope it wasn't because Janet was going through her chunk stage, that would be some shady shit!

Janet Takes Her Gift Back

On Monday Janet Jackson gave us a shitty gift called "Weekend" to listen to. It seems as if no one was really feeling the song which may have prompted her to remove the track from her official website. This is what she had to say about it:

Hey you guys,

I'm writing to let you know that "Weekend" is not my firstsingle nor is it on my album...it was my gift to you. I can'twait for you to hear my new single, "Call On Me," which goes to radio June 19th! Get ready for my "20 Years Old" album and tour!

Praise Moses Malone! She really could've saved that shit. I swear that song gave my Windows media player an STD. It's been acting nutty since.

Look A Blind Item !

I usually don't do post blind items because I don't want to insult your intelligence. Some of them are really freaking obvious. I'm having a tough time with this one though:

Despite warnings from friends, she married an obviously gay man because she was in denial regarding his sexuality. She is black female celebrity who spent all of her earnings on her well-groomed and fashionable man. The warnings were evident; he would only have backdoor sex with her. He loved to check out men while in her presence and he spoke in whispered tones on his cell phone. He was also a regular at the nail shop for pedicures and manicures and he only wore designer threads. On one occasion, Her friends told her, 'we saw your husband out last night with another effeminate man,' she would respond by calling her friends haters and she would proclaim, 'stop lying, I know he loves me.' As soon as her money ran out, so did he. She never saved for a rainy day and everything was in her name so she is responsible for all the bills. She is damn near destitute, and she looks ragged and incoherent.

Thanks for fueling my frustration Nina :)


Megan Shows Offs The Goods

I guess all this dry snatch talk left my boy Jayson with a soft penis so he decided to send in some pictures of Megan Good from a recent photoshoot. Cousin Skeeter is probably dry humping the monitor as I type this entry. Um, I guess she looks alright in these pics. Once again they don't do anything for my pleasure but hey, whatever. She looks like she has that wonky Paris Hilton (as Michael K would say) eye thing going on in the fourth picture though. I guess that's her seductive myspace eye. Bless her heart.

Akon & Too Short Birthday Party Flicks

There was no shortage of HAM at Akon & Too Short's Birthday Party at Vision on April 28th. From the looks of things everybody seemed to be having a funky, sweaty, good ol' time. Khia would've fit right in! Akon was also presented with a plaque for going triple platinum. Who the hell would've ever thought you could sell that many records singing into a fan?
