I know I have been hitting ya'll over the head with "Dreamgirls" news but I can't help myself. Tia sent over a truckload of pictures from the movie and I thought I would with the class. This movie has me interested for the wrong reasons now. I just want to go and look at the wigs!
Here's a link to the new commercial that many of you saw during the BET Awards Tuesday night.
Few people know that a black actress is a former street prostitute who turned tricks for a living alongside an infamous black woman. The black actress has been labeled bizarre, irrational and unstable. She and the infamous woman worked a corner populated by well to do johns and creeps in Los Angeles. They had an physical altercation when the infamous woman found out the future actress slept with her favorite john, a married rapper (whom she didn't like to share). Both women are extremely well known in the black community.

This black female singer is so full of herself, early on. A few weeks ago, she performed out of the country and proceeded to curse at the audience when they responded weakly to songs they were not familiar with. She said, "What's wrong with all of you, I know you m*therf**kers ain't too old to know what I'm singing." Some people got up and left. This singer also likes to disrespect established black female singers, pretending like she forgets their names when she encounters them at industry events and parties. When other people talk about other female singers in her presence, she rolls her eyes and quickly changes the subject. She has no respect for her fans nor her peers.
Atlantic Records just sent me this press release about 10 minutes ago. You know they are going to have one hell of a party for her when she comes home.
KIMBERLY JONES (AKA LIL KIM) TO BE RELEASED FROM JAIL MONDAY, JULY 3rd

She will remain under house arrest for a 30 day period.
"I am thrilled to be coming home," states Lil' Kim. I thank all my fans for all their letters, as well as my family and friends for all their support throughout the past ten months."
"We are pleased that Kim is coming home to start the next phase of her life. She has accepted responsibility and handled herself in an exemplary manner." says L. Londell McMillan, Entertainment Attorney for Lil' Kim.
This may be old news to some of you but it's new to me! Caramel Hunny sent this in to me this morning and I had to share it with you.
On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash.
The location where Griffin crashed is located a couple miles from the Target Center where Griffin had played with his team several hours earlier.
Abed Hassuneh, who is the brother of the victim, said Griffin told him, "That he was masturbating himself going down that street. That's how the accident happened because he was not paying attention. He's paying attention to that video and all of a sudden he's shoveled somebody's car on the top of the sidewalk . . . "
Several of the 911 callers that night said Griffin was drunk. One witness said Griffin told him he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he struck a Chevy Suburban parked on University Avenue Southeast. (continue)
In the video located on the site he says "I will buy you any car you want. . . not a Bentley. " So the brother wasn't too drunk, no?
Shemar Moore has been on my Nigga Please radar since he decided to host 'Soul Train'. It's bad enough I couldn't ever bring myself to watch that lip synching festival in the first place, but him hosting sealed the deal. Now they have some other guy on there who looks like a door-to-door encyclopedia pusher.
And I'm not even going to speak on that travesty he called a hairstyle in "Diary of a Mad Black Woman". Fuck, his hair being like that in the movie is enough reason to make a bitch mad by itself.
"Criminal Minds" Photocall
I don't know exactly what look Shemar is going for in these pictures. He looks like a fabulostic pirate to me. Those boots are screaming put-my-straight-to-DVD-ass-in-the-next-Pirates-of-the-Carribean-movie. I bet he wants to go plunder some "booty" right now . . .
Last night I decided to skip Star's chit chat with Larry King and laugh at Diddy try to train Dana Dane, Dannity Mayne, whatever and 'Run's House'. I'm so tired of hearing about her ass! Am I a bad person for not giving a damn? Because frankly, I don't.
Here's a great piece from the NY Post that pretty much sums everything up for me.
What else has she been lying about? Barbara Walters had to admit it - on national TV. Dame Barbara, the self-crowned queen bee of daytime television, is a big, fat, two-faced fibber. This may be a first for the boob tube. But an important principle was at stake. Namely - whose is bigger? Barbara Walters' ego? Or Star Jones Reynolds' mouth? . . .
Star Jones Reynolds committed the egregious sin of announcing Tuesday on the air - without Barbara's permission! - that she was leaving the "View." Later, she complained to "People" that she felt as if she'd been fired. Well, she was.
"We hoped . . . she would leave with dignity," Barbara said yesterday. "But Star made another choice." Barbara admitted she neglected to tell viewers that Star was on the outs - and her public defense of the formerly rotund Bridezilla was a sham. "It's been uncomfortable to pretend that everything is the same," she said. " 'The View' made Star a star," she added.
Not to be undone, Star took her shots on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. "It's a little shocking to me that Barbara feels betrayed," she said. "If anyone should feel betrayed it should be me! Barbara didn't have my back."
Only one thing is crystal clear:
Star Jones Reynolds is excruciatingly annoying. And difficult. And insufferable. And she should go.
And Barbara should get the hell out with her. (Star Jones illustration via The Gallery of the Absurd)
Things have been a little slow on the Nippy frontier this week. Like many of you I wanted her to come out during the tribute to Chaka Kahn at the BET Awards Tuesday but of course she didn't. So I guess we will have to settle for a little vintage Nippy.
This YouTube clip is of a 1986 Coke commercial featuring Nippy and a few other familiar faces. Dallas Penn thinks that Whitney's current love of coke is all Coke's fault.
The signs were all there 20 twenty years ago, but now it's obvious that Coca-Cola is responsible for NIPPY's drug addiction. C'mon people?!? The 'COKE IS IT!' slogan. Her move to Atlanta, GA, the corporate H.Q. for Coca-Cola.
While you are in the YouTube spirit, check out this clip.I guess I see what you guys were saying now.Thanks for the link Butta.
Diddy is finally going to make Kim an honest woman. Or at least that's what the latest rounds of rumors say.
Word is that Diddy proposed to Kim recently and she accepted. If this is true I feel happy for the girl. It seems like they are married already because they've been together for a while. After seeing her and all of those damn kids at the BET Awards, I couldn't do anything but shake my head.
But then again she might just be on her way to being his beard for life. Yeah I said it.
You ever look at a cute kid and then glance over at the parents and wonder how the hell did they create such a beautiful child? I do it every time I go to church. So who is the lucky sperm donor?
Lil' Jon! Can you believe that? I'm going to need a paternity test administered right away because this kid is too cute to be the fruit of Jon's loins. Nathan will hit the runway at a fashion show to bring awareness for HIV/AIDS in July. You can check out more information about the show at Sandra Rose.Thanks for the tip Marcus!
There seems to be some trouble in paradise between Kanye and Jamie. An unknown source told Media Take Out, Kanye's arrogance finally got on Jamie Foxx's last nerve.
After Jamie Foxx's actions during last night's BET Awards, people were left wondering whether there's trouble between the Oscar winning actor and Kanye West. MediaTakeOut.com has uncovered that the two artists have been feuding for months.
The feud started earlier this year when, while the two were rehearsing their Grammy performance, West reportedly told the multi-platinum selling Foxx to "stand back and watch a real star perform." The usually calm Foxx flew into a rage and stormed out of the rehearsal. Jamie was later overheard telling his publicist, "does this n***a know who I am? Did he see the Academy Awards?"
During last night's BET Awards, the animosity between the two superstars was noticeable. When the pair won the award for Best Duet/Collaboration, Kanye West tried to ease the tension by profusely thanking Foxx for the collaboration.
But Jamie Foxx wasn't ready to make peace. While West was giving his acceptance speech, Jamie Foxx stood behind him making faces and, at one point, held a portable fan behind Kanye's head. When it was Foxx's turn on the mic he simply shouted "Three-six mafia, I'll see you baby." Three-six Mafia won an Oscar earlier this year for the soundtrack to the movie Hustle and Flow.
MediaTakeOut.com managed to catch up with Jamie Foxx late last night at a Los Angeles hot spot. When asked why he held up a fan behind Kanye West, Jamie responded, "someone had to cool that n***a off."
All of this must have happened while I was dosed off.
This Just In: According to Eurweb, Lil' Kim will be leaving the big hous soon. Her mother Ruby and brother Christopher announced at the awards that she is scheduled to be released early next week, which is three months early. I guess we will have to wait to see how that one develops but I kinda miss Kimberly. An additional HAM is always welcomed to the feast.
I believe that Naima finally took our advice and went away for a little bit. But as you can know see she's back to her old tricks again. Which is fine, she actually looks like she took more than three minutes to get ready. There's still something off a bit. She looks a little loaded.
I don't see how Jay-Z does it. He is virtually every where! I can't figure out for the life of me how that man still manages to run a record company but hey, I guess he does. You already know wherever he is, Beyonce can't be too far behind. . . literally.
As People reported on its website Tuesday night, Star Jones Reynolds did not return to work on The View Wednesday after being asked by ABC to stay away. Barbara Walters, the show's creator, told People on Tuesday that she felt "betrayed" by Reynolds's comments to the magazine that her "contract was not renewed for the tenth season. I feel like I was fired."
Reynolds added that she got the news just days before reports surfaced that Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – would be joining The View in the fall.
On Wednesday's episode of The View, Walters elaborated on the controversy: "We didn’t expect her to make this statement yesterday. She gave us no warning."
Walters then went on to explain that Reynolds had known "for months" that she would not be returning in the fall, and that the network had given her time to exit the show with "dignity." (continue)
I don't believe this is the last we have heard from Star. I think this may just open up doors for her. When I got fired from that God awful bank last summer (check the archives) it was a blessing is disguise. Now when I go in there to deposit my checks (word to Essy, the hustle is so beautiful) I laugh.
Her and Al need to have their own weekend show since Connie Chung and Maury Povich got the axe. Glitter will be everywhere, please believe.
Not only am I'm a drained from those shitty awards last night, I'm also nursing a bruised thigh. What, you thought I was playing when I said I was going roll around the floor like B? Anyway, I read all of you guys comments and I agree with a lot of them so that's there's really no reason for me to add my two cents.
I'm all cried out over BET. I need a break. So due to popular demand from my Myspace friends, I decided to hit you guys with some hot new talent. I know I said I'm not Clive Davis but this kid has star power out this world. Someone needs to sign him ASAP! Thanks Niki for the video, understand that :)
There are 1,001 pictures from the award show and I would be here all night trying to post them all. I still haven't done my SASHA act. So here's a few pictures to wet your appetite. Visit the links below to check them all out!

I know you guys are an opinionated bunch but damn, I didn't think ya'll would be in the comments until after the show, ha ha. Now I know you wanna give your two cents about things so here's the forum for you to do so. I'm still recovering from Antoine Merriweather and OutKast's appearances. Go ahead and step up to the mic!
Now pardon me, I'm going to go slide across my kitchen floor like SASHA for the Dealer.
The BET Awards are a few hours away and I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it. I'm not going to post pictures from every single event since I know my sister sites will be pretty much doing the same thing. Less work for me!

Naomi Campbell is being accused of less-than-model behavior again, this time by another of her maids who claims the supermodel hit her.
In a terse single-sheet filing in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, Gaby Gibson accused Campbell of "personal injuries," "employment discrimination," "civil assault," "civil battery" and other complaints.
Gibson, who filed the lawsuit on Monday, the eve of a Manhattan Criminal Court appearance by Campbell on charges of assaulting another maid, asks for "actual, compensatory and punitive" damages without specifying an amount.
The court document does not detail acts by Campbell, but in a published interview in April, Gibson said the catwalker hit her on Jan. 17, called her names and threatened to have her arrested. Gibson told the New York Post that Campbell got upset after being unable to find a specific pair of jeans. Gibson's lawyer, Thomas D. Shanahan, did not immediately return calls for comment. Campbell is due in court Tuesday on a similar charge that stemmed from a similar situation -- the supermodel couldn't find a pair of jeans. (continue)
I'm starting to wonder if all of these allegations have some truth behind them. I should take a visit to NYC and try to bump into her so I can sue her the following week.
Kanye West in the past has discussed his addiction to porn, and a source tells The New York Post the rapper posed at a "major music magazine" recently leaving behind a present for the photographer and stylist. "There was a huge box full of porn," the insider revealed. "It was all white girls with black guys." West did not call to ask for the pictures back. (Page Six)
I can't say that I am shocked. There were rumors a few months back that he was cuddling up with Pamela Anderson, but I believe that was during the time the video for "Touch The Sky" was in production.
Hey, everybody has their own preference in porn so whatever. At least it wasn't any crazy "chicks with dicks" type of shit. Or better yet John Legend and Fonzworth.
I know Kelly is a spokeswoman for Dark N' Lovely, but someone should give Verdine White a contract also. Hey, at least his hair is real. Feel free to caption this picture.
I hear that the longtime panelist on ABC's daytime chatfest, "The View," has signed a lucrative deal with another television outlet and plans to announce her departure live on the air at the end of this month. Yesterday, Jones Reynolds' PR rep declined to comment, and a spokesman for "The View," where she's been a regular since the show's August 1997 launch, didn't respond to several detailed messages.
Ever since the show's alpha female, Barbara Walters, recruited Jones Reynolds antagonist Rosie O'Donnell to replace Meredith Vieira, insiders have speculated that the 44-year-old Jones Reynolds is on the way out . . .
In recent weeks, Jones Reynolds -- who's married to former money man Al Reynolds -- has reportedly taken meetings with execs at CBS, Court TV and E! Entertainment, in addition to filling in for Larry King as a substitute host in April. Her contract is up in September.
A knowledgeable source said: "Star has been floating around the studio, and she's on cloud nine now that she's leaving. She's been acting as though she doesn't have a care in the world. That's why she was so pleasant, even when Sandra Bernhard was trying to bait her for a confrontation on the show. She's known for weeks she was leaving, and now that her deal is apparently done, she just doesn't care what goes on with the show." (continue) Thanks J for the tip :)
Speaking from personal experience, whenever I know I am about to quit a job I act as if I don't give a damn either. I know that's not exactly professional but hey, I'm just being honest.
Now there has been some buzz going around that Bo Griffin is the frontrunner to replace Star. I like Bo and all but she looks like a transitional photo from Star's weight loss. You know I'm a Team Chunk advocate but shit. I hope she doesn't marry a fabulostic man and have gastric bypass next.
Michelle has been looking pretty snazzy since she successfully escaped from Beyonce's wig crpyt. Yes! Everybody looks good for the most part. Jermaine Dupri and Missy's styles are . . . unique. JD resembles the "special" man at my church named Ike who likes to hug all the big breasted women after service. While Missy looks like she has a purse full of oil and incense she is trying to hustle.

Finally, our very own African American Bryan Boy! Can't you just eat him up? If Dwen Curry's face looks familiar its because he is a star on 'Noah's Arc.' He looks like a glam mash up between Ne-Yo's mom and Babs in these pics. I'm not complaining though, you know I need a dose of fabulostic behavior daily.
Khia has been bitching about being dropped from Janet's second single "So Excited" while Jermaine Dupri still insists that she is on the track. Meanwhile, Babs has been getting her countdown to lockdown on.
So I got to thinking who would win in a fight between these two. I know that Jim Jones has challenged Tru Life to a boxing match and what not recently, but I would love to see these two duke it out. Given Khia's extensive criminal record I think she could hold her own. But Babs does look like she will cut a bitch also. Who do you think would win in an all out scuffle?
Catching Up With The Kings of R&B (rocks and blunts of course)
Today must be "Hug A Former Junkie Day" here at C+D. First Shabba now Jodeci! What?! Lightning usually doesn't strike twice but sometimes a miracle happens (word to Kerney Thomas).
It's good to see Hits also. Last time I saw him was when I rented "Remember To Lean On Coach Carter". Thanks Audrey for the pics!
I've been getting tons of emails and instant messages from you lucky bastards who had the joy of attending Jay's concert last night. Everybody has been talking about who they saw but no one bothered to mention Mr. Loverman . . .
This almost feels like catching up with an old friend from high school that you thought was somewhere strung out on drugs. I feel so warm and fuzzy inside.
This very famous rapper gives the impression of a dedicated family man who has never been in trouble with the law. He's often photographed with his wife and children at events and family outings. You never hear of any scandal associated with him. That's because he does his dirt very privately. When he's on tour, he hooks up with groupies after the concert. He has a security man pat them down and look in their purses for video or recording devices. After this Fort Knox search is concluded, they are escorted to his room for sex.
Rewind: We reported on this 'same' rapper last year, as follows: This hip-hop star is known to discreetly finance sexually themed parties and orgies for black Hollywood. He rents a house in the Hollywood Hills, card tables are set up with professional dealers, and adult movies are broadcast in every room on Plasma TV's, to get guests in the mood. From there, it is a free for all; guests get busy in the hot tubs and the bedrooms. The condom supply is exhausted when the party ends.
You would be surprised at how many black celebrities are trying to get on the list for these annual parties. A discreet board (black celebrities) go over the requests with a fine tooth comb until they settle on their choices. You are then notified by an encrypted email (that you have been accepted). The day, the party takes place, you are sent a text message with the address and directions, thirty minutes before party time. These parties are populated by some of the biggest black celebrities in the world from every field, including entertainment and sports. (via The Panache Report)
There will surely be plenty of fresh lace wigs on stage tomorrow at the 2006 BET Awards. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't looking forward to it. Entertainment is entertainment sometimes. And since Jada and Will put my ass straight to bed with a Handi Snak and Capri Sun [1], I hope Damon can make things fun tomorrow.

Jay-Z Celebrates 10th Anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt" In Concert At Radio City Music Hall
I suppose that Jay's concert may be wrapping up or over as I type this entry. As with so many other live performances I wish I could be there. I guess I will have to settle for reviews and YouTube footage. Here are a few flicks of Bey-Z on stage together (big surprise) performing God knows what. I'm pretty sure more photos will be added to the image services later on today so be on the look out.
Aleska emailed me a link to an interview Rocka.Candy (you should add this site to your bookmarks if you already haven't by the way) held with Sheryl Lee Ralph a little while back. In the interview, she gives Rock her two cents on the 2006 version of 'Dreamgirls.' She had a lot of very interesting things to say. Check it:
Rocka.Candy: How do you feel about Dreamgirls getting the Hollywood treatment?
Sheryl Lee Ralph: It's hard. Believe or not in the 1980's when Dreamgirls opened we completely changed theater, we changed who came to the theater, and who was interested in theater. And now 25 years later, people find it so easy to act like we didn't do what we did. Loretta Divine and Vondie Curtis Hall were in the original company, there were some great folks who are still working today.
R.C: How do you feel about Beyonce portraying the role you originally bought to life - Deena Jones?
SLR: It's interesting, when Tom Eyen who is the creator, had this idea, he said that the Dreams, have to be three obviously black girls. Why? Because America will always go for that light, bright, long haired black girl because they will feel comfortable building her up, since they see themselves in her.
But for the obviously black girl, if she makes it, she deserves to be right there. Because they aren't trying to push her, that's why the Dreams had to be three obviously black girls.
So when they cast Beyonce in the role of Deena Jones. I said, "Wow, this is exactly what Tom Eyen said would happen." They going to take to that light, bright blackish blonde girl because they feel comfortable with her. That's the reality.
R.C: Who would you have cast as Deena Jones?
SLR: That's hard because the industry isn't pushing her, so you don't have an obvious one to pick from. The closest one I can think of, that's an obvious black girl with that glamour thing to her is Lauryn Hill. Heather Headley is kind of close but she's not Deena. You know Deena is Diana Ross, she's a drama girl, an out right glamour girl. (continue to read)
It would be pointless for me to sit here and type some funny shit when I know that your comments are going to be hilarious. Thanks Crystal for the pictures.
Kidding. These pictures are really from Kanye's performance at Cipriani Detsche Bank Benefit Concert Series. 'Ye decided to shave his mustache off but manage to miss that big ass patch of taco meat in the middle of his chest. Hey, at least he is moving in the right direction. Johnny Boy and Diddy (pictured here with model Adriana Lima) also made an appearance at the show. But enough about those mere mortal, let's talk about Slickback!
It's been a while since I've seen him. I hate to say it but I kinda missed him.

The last thing I want to see first thing in the morning is Mary J. Blige and her theatrics. Just take a look at the pictures for yourself. She should save all that shit for her cameo on 'One Life To Live.'
You already know she was stomping around scaring the white people. I also hope Brooke didn't decide to make an appearance. Diane Sawyer would've really clutched her pearls and purse.
Dallas Austin + Naomi Campbell = Cherrelle and Nippy
Let this serve as this week's anti-drug.
Legendary producer Dallas Austin is in a Dubai prison, where he stands accused of transporting drugs into the Arab country en route to Naomi Campbell's birthday party last month. Austin has worked with Madonna, Michael Jackson, Brandy, TLC, Aretha Franklin, the Indigo Girls and Boyz II Men. Dubai, which is a member state of the United Arab Emirates, has strict drug policies and a reputation for a stern justice system.
Campbell's birthday party was a three-day extravaganza at the Burj Al Arab hotel, which drew fellow models like Eva Herzigova and Linda Evangelista. Campbell's boyfriend, Dubai oil heir Badr Jafar, rented out a large section of the ultra-expensive hotel. Each day had a theme: "All White," "Hip Hop" and "Brazilian Samba."
It's not likely the supermodel has tried to bring her friend a cake with a file in it or has even bothered to visit. "Naomi doesn't know anything about this," her flack told us. A rep for Austin had no comment. (source)
I've always thought that Dallas was on some other shit but I didn't know it was like that. So I guess its safe to assume what the folks at the party was doing on the "All White" day. Somebody should've made Cherrelle and Nippy '06 watch 'Blow.'
Hollywood turned this black actor out; he got caught up, big time. When he first arrived in Tinsel Town, he was modest and decent. After a few hit films, he became arrogant and physically abusive towards women. One of his ex-girlfriends gave him a birthday party, during the course of the party, she lost track of him; she found him engaged in a compromising position in a back room with a male guest. He didn't offer up an excuse, instead, he stood up, walked towards her and slapped her. They would soon break up after this incident. His physical abuse would escalate to the point, his advisors convinced him to put money aside from each check to cover the hospital expenses of his 'future' battered victims.
BLIND ITEM #2 by Algiers
This soul legend remarried and his new wife doesn't like blended families. She wants him to divorce his kids. She has talked him out of spending the holidays with his kids, he no longer calls them for their birthday nor does he give them gifts. She also talked him into taking back the cars he had given them before he met her. And now, she is trying to talk him into dissolving their trust funds. Hint: He is a crooner. (via The Panache Report)
Now Bryce Wilson has always done it for me. He may not can act or hostfor shit, but he is nice to look at. Melyssa Ford finally looks like she didn't walk off the set of the latest reggaeton video. I'm proud of that girl, keep up the good work. Beanie Sigel kinda resembles a John from one of those prostitution stings on 'Cops'. Or maybe that's just me!

According to Contact Music, Whitney decided to visit that Los Angeles church a few weeks back after being invited by Denzel Washington and Mel Gibson. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. After confessing she had a drug problem (its about time!), Cherelle was able to talk some sense into her.
Cherelle admits Houston was upset by recent tabloid claims about her drug habit made by sister-in-law Tina Brown, that were accompanied by photographs of the singer's reported squalid drug den. Houston's pal claims some of the allegations Brown made were true, but the picture was nothing more than a shot of a messy bathroom. Cherelle says, "I told Nippy (Houston's nickname), I was being honest with her: 'Some of the things (Tina) did say in there (article) were true - not true in a drug form, but yes, you are sloppy! Yes, you are messy - not only in the bathroom, but period.'" Cherelle goes on to explain that Houston's inability to keep a tidy home comes from years of having aides to fetch and carry everything for her. She adds, "She was just 18-years-old when she had a hit record . . . It's out of habit, her dropping stuff down. Now I'm like, 'You're 43-years-old, n**ger. Pick that up! I'm not picking up behind you.'" (via A Socialite's Life, thanks Da Real!)
There's nothing more amusing than watching two crackhead bicker with each other. Trust me, I get front row seats every Thanksgiving day.
I give up on Shug. I don't know what phase she is going through but she needs to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with herself ASAP. I want the Toni from the "Breath Again" video back. This version looks like "she got that nasty women's diease" if you know what I mean.
Fresh Flicks: Fader Summer Music Issue Release Party with Rick Ross and Nina Sky
My computer room smells like pickle juice and collard greens from looking at Rick Ross and Tyson. Tyson is a hop, skip, and jump away from looking like the leader of Tech N9ne. That pic is definately a candidate for vagina dryer of the week. Those Nina Sky chicky poos are two brave souls because I don't think I could do it. Rodney Jerkins looks pretty good! I guess he decided to go on that Timbaland-producer diet and drop a couple pounds.

Apparently so! I'm not sure how old this video actually is but today was my first time watching it. You should know that the song is an R&B thug love type of scenario, hated it! I've heard worst shit on Myspace before so I won't come down on the guys too hard. I am going to need for K-Ci to calm the hell down though. Ohhhhhh yeaaaah!
Hewpz is really cashing in on her 14:58 seconds of fame. The devil is a liar and the truth ain't in him. The girl can't seem to stay away from cheesy video sets, eh?
Maddi Madd (please don't ask me who this is) ft. Jodeci - "Holla Back"
Things are heating up already in the Strahan divorce! Jean Strahan is now accusing Michael of . . . well, I'll let you read about it.
Outside court, she said that after she and the Giant split in March 2005, he shared an "alternative lifestyle" with "his best buddy," TV doctor Ian Smith. "Michael moved in with Ian in his one-bedroom apartment for the next year," she said, after the couple's acrimonious divorce proceedings had ended for the day in Essex County Family Court. "You could say an alternative lifestyle sprouted," she added.
Asked to stop beating around the bush, Jean smiled - and was prevented from saying any more by her lawyer. Strahan's lawyer, Robert Penza, called the remarks "outrageous" and said "this allegation has been raised in the past by Jean. She has been spreading rumors throughout this entire litigation process."
The defensive end couldn't be reached for comment - but Smith had plenty to say. "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," he told The Post. (continue)
Carly is going hard I see. If you continue reading the article you will also see that Dr. Ian dated his wife for 14 years before sliding the rock on her finger. Talk about a test drive, eh! The Post know they are wrong for that picture. It looks like an engagement photo.
Hot damn! I always knew Mike had a gap but I had no idea about that other baby chomper on the side. And that poor gold tooth is hanging on for dear life. I have got to meet this man's publicist. What in the blue hell is Mike going to do with a SideKick? The mental image of him trying to type on it is reminiscent of a caveman trying to turn on a computer.

Although CM is dressed like Claudia from The Baby Sitters Club, I think its dope that she is actually out there in the public eye still.
I don't mean to put dude on blast, but I'm hearing weird things about D'Angelo. Some of his issues have played out in the media and others haven't. But according to a recent report, his house has gone under foreclosure. Apparently, a writer named Dave McCormack from the Richmond Magazine (out of Virginia) went looking for D'Angelo and wasn’t too successful. The writer claims that he looked inside D's house and saw nothing, but CD's all over. Anyway, D might have relieved himself of a lot of his worldly possessions (true freedom?). One of the AHH editors told me a rumor of looming redemption for D'Angelo. I am going to hold off on that for now. Lets just say, "Its not over 'til its over." (AHH Rumors)
It's bad enough he looked like a hot pile of shit the last time I saw him. If this is true however I hope his friends at OkayPlayer hook up a Pay Pal account for his ass. Poor guy seems like he can't catch a break since that car accident last year.
Bey-Z On The Rocks For The 724th Time This Year
I wasn't going to talk about this rumor at first because I could really give two shits (really) about it. But since 999,999 people kept sending email about it, I decided to go ahead and do a post about it.
New York's hip-hop royalty couple of Jay-Z and Beyonce are ending their relationship before the walk down the aisle and anticipated stunner of the wedding dress. After months of speculation the numerous sources attached very close to the couple confirm that Beyonce has had it with Jay-Z and his immature, champagne drinking impresario image. "She wants a man, who supports her, loves her, stand by her side", a source told SocialRank. "B is sick of him possessively trying to keep things private. She doesn’t feel enough affection or love from him".
Jay-Z has been completely immersed with his Island Def Jam work for the last couple of months, while spending all his free time at the offices or games of New Jersey Nets. Beyonce meanwhile went to Cannes and to the Walk of Fame Induction ceremony all by herself, feeling lonely and unsupported. "Jay is obsessed with keeping basketball game scores" another very close source to the couple is saying. "Beyonce is looking to the future. Her sister Solange already has a baby. Her own parents have an amazing, fulfilling relationship and she not only wants a steady career, she wants to have tight family circle around her as well". (continue)
And yadda yadda yadda. Survey says! I don't give a damn, next please.
This celebrity's drug problem was well publicized a few years back and she went into rehab. She gives the impression that she is drug-free, which is a lie. She still gets high. In interviews, she speaks out on the dangers of drugs, after the interview, she's in the bathroom snorting heroin or cocaine. She's well known for her drug history but few people know, although she dates guys, she is half-lesbian and was once involved in a lesbian relationship with a white actress. Hint: The white actress is openly gay and involved in a serious relationship. (via The Panache Report)
According to BET.com Mo'Nique's next movie role will be playing a junkie in the film "Shadow Boxer" alongside Cuba Gooding, Jr. Now I'm not doubting her acting skills but let's be realistic. Most of the junkies I know look a lot like Nicole Richie. You can catch Mo'Nique on the cover of the July issue of Essence where she is also interviewed by Jill Scott.
During her chat with BET.com she talks about everything from her favorite BET award show moments to Star Jones.
BET.com: Recently, Janet Jackson shed 60 pounds in four months and looks fantastic! Do you think this is realistic for the average woman?
Mo'Nique: No, of course not! The average woman can't do that. Janet looks great, but she's a multi-millionaire . . . , so she can afford that. She has the best trainer, nutritionist, support . . . The average woman doesn't have the money to do that.
BET.com: Can you comment on Star Jones and her surgery?
Mo'Nique: Star, come on home because we miss you [ I don't know about that shit - - Fresh]. We miss your fullness, your curves . . . We want you to be healthy, we want you to be loved, but we want you to come on home. Don't be ashamed of your fat back and your thighs rubbing together. It keeps you warm.
BET.com: How difficult was it to learn the famous Beyonce dance?
Mo'Nique: When I tell you we worked on that dance for three months, three hours a day, every day. Whew, I wanted to punch Regina [the choreographer] in her face.
BET.com: Are you still doing the Beyonce dance?
Mo'Nique: Not any more. Look, that's how I got pregnant! I would tell my man, "Watch this! Watch this move!" I had to give it a break.
I've received about ten emails asking about what's going on with Brandy's chest. And if you are anything like me that is the last thing you want to see first thing in the morning. But I decided to check it out any way.
Minus the exposed bones, this is actually an upgrade for Brandy. I think a couple of ribs and mac & cheese will do her some good.
Why Shar Why? Not only does she look like she is about to break out and do the Ashlee Simpson 'SNL' shuffle but she also seems a little on the slow side. Shar will always be a downgrade by default.
Giants sack king Michael Strahan and his estranged wife blitzed each other with dueling tales of wild, free-spending ways yesterday in a divorce court clash. Strahan said his soon-to-be ex-wife spoiled their toddler twin girls, recently lavishing nearly $100,000 on them - including $27,000 for clothes alone.
But Jean Strahan countered that the gridiron star splurged nearly $200,000 on two ultra-luxury cars, spent money on a mistress - and kept a secret ledger detailing the married couple's sex romps before the girls were born. "I don't want [the twins] to be spoiled," said Michael Strahan, 34, who kept his cool under fierce questioning from his wife's lawyer, Ellen Marshall.
The faceoff in Essex County Family Court in Newark was rife with the kinds of problems only the rich face - like how many millions is enough to end a marriage. Looking more like the cuddly star of TV commercials than a fierce gridiron warrior, Strahan calmly picked apart a spending list that included nearly $10,000 for parties and more than $8,000 in toys and other gifts.
"I look at this list and I think: The floodgates are open," Michael Strahan said. "They have to know the value of a dollar." . . .
In a bizarre moment, Marshall whipped out an oversized planner that she said was filled with day-by-day entries detailing Michael Strahan's efforts to get his wife pregnant before she had the twins. She said the handwritten entries noted when Strahan had sex with his wife and her menstrual cycle. But the football star denied putting their most intimate details in print. "I don't make notes about sex," Strahan said. (read full article)
Damn damn damn! I didn't know dude married Carly Simon. Well, I know where some money didn't get spent on. . . dentist visits.
Celebs @ The Apollo 2006 Spring Gala and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
Ahh, Little Richard. One of the major influences on Golden Brookes when she applies make up. You would think that after all of these years the man would switch to MAC. But nope! He sticks to one of the most evil inventions known to man, Pancake 31. Okay maybe its not that bad.
Ruby Dee and Little Richard; Chaka Kahn; Lynn Whitfield; Gladys Knight and Merald Knight

Chaka Kahn borrowed Sister Luenelle's special made church fan I see. You know she has a lace hankerchief in her purse. And Eriq La Salle looks a lot like my Uncle Wanky in that picture. I'm waiting for him to ask me for five dollars then pass out in a drunken stooper.
After reading a comment left by Burnt Grits I decided to go on a Wendy Williams manhunt (get it?) and see what I could come up with. If you didn't already know our favorite gossip maven is the new spokeswoman of Alize. Here are some pictures from her campaign event that was held this past Thursday. Time to switch back to Champale.
You probably known Rodney Henry as the young fellow on 'College Hill' with the extremely jacked up bottom teeth (or at least that's how I remember his ass). On the first episode I could've sworn it was some type of grill. Well, would you believe that he has been keeping company with none other than Miss This-Is-My-Signature-Walk aka Camille from the second season of ANTM?! Now that's a combo I would never expect.
Is it a reality romance? Apparently so! 'College Hill's' resident playboy, Rodney Henry, has apparently given up his player card and fallen for 'America's Next Top Model' season two contestant Camille McDonald. Henry apparently met the reality show diva at a New York City party and they have been dating ever since. "She's definitely a special friend, I enjoy her company," Henry confessed to BV Buzz. Henry, who has one more semester at Virginia State University, where he's studying Mass Communications, is spending his summer in New York City with McDonald now that his spring semester and season on 'College Hill' have both wrapped. A source spotted the pair canoodling at a Harlem party for Henry's fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma. Though Henry was mum when we asked, I hear the couple is also developing a reality television show together. Let's just hope it's not an urban version of 'Newlyweds,' because we see what that did for Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.(continue reading at BV)
Wait a minute, you mean to tell me someone actually finds these two interesting enough to give them a show? In that case I need a camera crew over at my place ASAP so they can record me blogging. I would not be surprised if BET picked the show up. You know how they do.
Your Two Cents Required: Starzilla vs. Sandra Bernhard
Star Jones Reynolds had to bite her tongue to keep from cursing out comedian Sandra Bernhard on "The View" Friday morning.
Bernhard has made jokes in the past about biracial singer Mariah Carey appearing to cash in on her blackness only when her more mainstream pop material became passe. Star, reading from the pre-interview notes on her blue cards, asked Bernhard to explain why she is now claiming responsibility for the success of Carey's album, "The Emancipation of Mimi." Bernhard said it was her jokes eight years ago about Carey "being black only when it's convenient" that led to the singer's nervous breakdown, which eventually resulted in this current emancipation.
Trying to remain calm, Star hit Bernhard with a "girl please" and said Carey has always been open about being black. Bernhard joked to the audience that Star was about to go off on her. Star smiled and said, "I look too cute today to be going off on you," then rolled her eyes back toward co-host Barbara Walters to continue on.
Walters said that Carey spoke openly about her African American father during their interview eight years ago. Bernhard finally gave up on the whole thing, shouting, "It's a joke," and telling Star she didn't set up the story right." (continue)
Rapper/actor Nick Cannon has launched a subtle war of words with chart rival Bow Wow, claiming the teenager is too harmless to be "a thug". Cannon is firing off after Bow Wow, real name Shad Anthony Moss, criticised his peer for being too clean-cut - like Will Smith.
Cannon laughs, "If you check Will's album sales to Bow Wow's album sales, I'm gonna rap like Will all day long."
"I'm not gonna talk about how hard I am, even though I grew up in some of the worst situations out there.
"There's only so long you can rap about how hard you are. You've been in the entertainment industry since you were eight years-old, it's kind of hard to be a thug." (source)
Hilarious shit I know. These two should settle their differences like real men . . . in a skating rink! Seriously, someone should really give Bow Weezy a nice big, ice cold glass of shut the fuck up immediately. I give Nick his fair share of crap but I still have some respect for the dude. However corny his grind may be at times at least he's out there on it. If Bow Wow continues this behavior he's going to find himself on "The Surreal Life" pretty soon.
Why do I feel the sudden urge to go grab a Sprite? Anyway, if they are going to have Man-Man out there in his "Rocawear" suit they could've at least ironed it. Or even tossed it in the dryer for 15 minutes. Hell, something!
Why does The Game look like his breath smells like baby formula that has been sitting in a bottle for a week? Ugh. And Larenz's woman seems like she has been pregnant forever. Damn, that baby must be on CP time.
I can't help but laugh and feel sorry for the poor girl at the same time while looking at these pictures. She has no idea that some PETA nut is about to pull some Ashton Kutcher type shit on her.
I've finally reached my Beyonce quota for this week and won't be posting anything else about her. Well of course if a sex tape or scandal surfaces I'll be all over it but I doubt it.
Beyonce will debut her new single "Deja Vu" to open the 2006 BET Awards on June 27, while her boy Prince is scheduled to close the show in what organizers are billing as a "Grand Opening, Grand Closing" event in Los Angeles.
"Prince's song selection is a closely guarded secret . . . even to the show producers . . . at this point," BET said in a statement. Other confirmed performers include nominee Jamie Foxx, Busta Rhymes, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Keyshia Cole, Lil Wayne and Mary Mary. Previously announced show talent Mary J. Blige and T.I. will round out the set list, “along with a few surprises,” the network promises.
Others confirmed to attend BET Awards '06 include Lifetime Achievement Award winner Chaka Khan, Humanitarian Award recipient Harry Belafonte and presenters Vivica A. Fox, Outkast, NFL first-round draft pick Vince Young, Rihanna, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, "Good Times" stars Bernadette Stanis and Jimmy Walker, and former BET Awards host Steve Harvey.
Damon Wayans will host this year's three-hour telecast, which will broadcast live from the Shrine auditorium beginning at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. CT; tape-delayed in the Mountain and Pacific zones). (continue reading)
Beyonce was confronted Thursday night at the swanky restaurant Nobu in New York City by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The two had won an eBay auction, benefiting VH1's Save the Music Foundation, to dine with the star. Beyonce had no idea they were PETA members.
TMZ obtained video of the confrontation, shot by PETA, taped inside the restaurant. As they sat at the table, Beyonce, who has a fashion line with her mother that uses fur, had no idea what was coming. After placing their orders, the PETA members confronted the singer.
The PETA members then pulled out a portable DVD player and began playing a tape of Pamela Anderson's attack on the fur industry, which highlights graphic footage of the process of killing animals for their fur.
Also present at the table -- Beyonce's mother Tina and her sister Solange. The PETA members were swiftly escorted out of the restaurant. Beyonce and her relatives stayed inside. Calls to Beyonce's reps were not immediately returned.
All I have to say is that Mama Tina protects her young! Remember when shesnapped last yearabout rumors that Solange was bleaching little Daniel's skin? Don't mess with her offspring. And Beyonce?
That bitch deserves an award for her ability to stay calm because if it was your's truly there would've been some furniture moving around that muthafucka. I honestly believe that PETA knows how to pick and choose their battles wisely. They know not to step up to Mary J. Bligewith that bullshit. "Brooklyn" will definately be in the house if they tried to put some red paint on her fur.
Now what that PETA chick should've done was pour a bottle of Cristal on the table and start do the Dame Dash dance from the "Big Pimpin" video. Kidding.
I haven't been out of high school for five years now so I was under the assumption that the fashions that I saw at this prom would be the same as mine a couple of years back.
Boy was I wrong. Did they have a stripper pole set up at the punch bowl? I know some of these little bastards came to school with guns and shit. They look guilty.
Sometimes a picture says 1,000 words. You know what this onesays to me? Everybody need a check from FEMA so he can go score him some co-ca-nina.Thanks Butta for the laughs. Now just chill to the next episode.
Fresh Flicks: Carl Lewis Celebrates His 45th Birthday
Just looking at these pictures make me want to take a nice cold shower.And not because the image of Carl Lewis dampens the panties but because it looks hot as hell in that club. If you touch your computer monitor you will probably pull back some oily fingertips.
Is that Kanye's Mama back there? I know Donda ain't out partying with Ananda and Vivica when she could be holding his purse. It's probably just someone who resembles her though. You know the old saying, everybody got a twin. She would make for a great decoy.
And while we are on the subject of Carl Lewis check out this great piece of acting.You better put some money for him in a birthday card now!
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott always thought her life story would make a good movie. And thanks to none other than the sista-loving Robert DeNiro, the dream is about to come true in a major way. DeNiro's Tribeca Films, along with Missy's manager Mona Scott, will produce an as-yet-untitled biopic of the entertainer for Universal Pictures. The journey to Universal began with a pitch to Scott from writer Dianne Houston, who penned the screenplay based on Elliott's life. Scott helped flesh it out a bit before taking it to longtime friend Jane Rosenthal, DeNiro's partner at Tribeca Films. The company decided to produce the project through its first-look deal with Universal. (continue)
I've always admired Missy Elliott's creativity and sometimes wondered about how she comes up with some of the things that she does but I don't think I want to see a movie to have my questions answered. A 'Behind The Music' would probably be just fine. Plus I wouldn't have to shell out one cent to see it.
I just imagine her sitting in her room as a kid saying "whaaw taah taaah blah blah" and writing the shit down. No disrespect to Missy but I think there are tons of other people out there who lives were probably way more interesting. Who would you like to see a biopic created about?
Is R&B crooner Usher back with stylist-turned-girlfriend, Tameka Foster? Over the weekend, a Lowdown spy saw the 27-year-old Usher in Barneys with the about-37-year-old Foster, a mother of three who recently divorced fashion designer Ryan Glover. He was buying her a pair of Manolo Blahniks while the two were in town for record exec L.A. Reid's birthday bash.
According to music industry sources in Atlanta, they've had a volatile relationship, with Usher once ordering a security guard to, well, usher her off his estate in a gated community of Marietta, Ga. Yesterday, Foster's rep told Lowdown: "I don't know where the escorting-off-the-property came from, but that is completely fabricated. The media is making a mountain out of a friendship. She doesn't wear Manolo Blahniks. That's all I want to say." Usher's spokeswoman told Lowdown: "Oh, wow, I don't know anything about this." (source)
The current resident HAM hock of hip hop Remy Ma celebrated her birthday this past Tuesday. At first glance I quickly assumed that this was a costume party since she looks liked like a ghetto Laura Croft with that long ass whip appeal braid. Check out the rest of the pics at Whats Poppin, thanks Nesha!
Hewpz is out breaking the law, breaking the law. A couple of days ago she was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Poor Mr. Cop, I know she probably whooped his ass. You know she got those little midget slap boxing arms of galvanized steel.
Police said a reality TV star assaulted a police officer, but she believes she was the one who was attacked and claims it started with harassment from her neighbors. Nichole Alexander gained national attention on the reality show "Flavor of Love."
Alexander said, since she moved into her Dearborn home, the drama with her neighbors has reached a boiling point. One neighbor said Alexander doesn't bother her at all, but others have called police multiple times. Alexander said her neighbors don't like her because her family and friends are mostly black. She said they've called police just to harass her.
Tuesday night, when several Dearborn police officers arrived to investigate a noise complaint, Alexander claimed an officer grabbed her as she was speaking her mind about feeling harassed."He walked up, took the door, opened the door back up. Grabbed me by me neck and I just remember flying down these steps. While I'm falling, I gripped on to him and we fall. Now we wrestling and two more cop guys come and jump on me," she said. (continue)
I must confess that I am one of my biggest guilty pleasures is taping reality television shows and watching the footage when there is nothing popping on the tube. Laugh if you will but I have hours and hours of everything from 'Being Bobby Brown' to the first 'Making The Band.' Another reason why I loved hitting the record button is that I didn't have cable while living in my dorm room. So it was either watching Nippy do her crackhead shuffle or 'Desperate Housewives.'
Speaking of reality television, MTV's Thursday line up combo of 'Making The Band' and 'Run's House' is one of my all time favorites. I can't wait to see what the Badussy Cat Dolls have up their sleeves this time around. The first thing on the agenda should be to finally give the group a damn name. I personally think Diddy should also hire that fabulostic chubby guy back from season 918. The way he yelled at those bitches really was the highlight of the show.
Here's a little something special for all my fellow children of the crunk who send me love every single day. I may not be able to respond back to you individually but I do read all of your messages. C+D would be nothing with ya'll! So this lil' diddy goes out to you! *points in the crowd like David Ruffin*
It was an overflow crowd in Studio B for both 2:00 a.m. shows by Bobby Brown. Whitney Houston's "King of R&B" wowed the crowd with such cuts as "Every Little Step," "My Prerogative," "Roni" and "Rock Wit'cha." Each night Brown brought a different woman onstage and would simulate some sex act with her. The first night, he had 'Top Model' finalist Tiffany Richardson join him-remember she's the one Tyra Banks screamed at: "I've never screamed at a girl like this in my life!" Since this is a family-friendly column, I can't report exactly what Brown did to her onstage, but let's just say his song "Humpin' Around" captures it quite well! Even better was night two when Brown had Reach Media's Marcelina Olan come onstage. The full- figured favorite gave Brown a lap dance he'll never forget and to top it all off, she picked him up and carried him across the stage. It was unbelievable!
See, Bobby knows more about pop culture than people may give him credit for. I'm pretty sure that he knew that Tiffany was the chick who let Tyra chump her ass out in front of millions of viewers. I still get a kick out of that shit. Maybe that was his way of making her feel better. I'm glad Nippy wasn't there because she would've been giving out free passes to Chinatown. So where was Whitney?
Brown told me that his album is set to bow July 4, and that he's still trying to tour with SWV. He also said he's filmed a couple of movies that are slated to drop this year, and he's excited about the second season of 'Being Bobby Brown.' He claimed his wife wanted to join him on the cruise, but he said no. "She's at home with the kids. I wouldn't allow it. She's doing wonderful, thanks for asking," he added. Brown was such a hit, Joyner invited him back next year. Read Jawn Murray's entire article at BV!
Okay so I'm like the last person on the internet to download Beyonce's new song. Let me explain, whenever people hype up certain shit I always decide to check it out months after. I've been doing this for a couple of years but that's just me. But since I know I am going to have to hear this 500x a day, I decided to go ahead and give it a listen.
Survey says! . . . The song is okay. I'm still trying to figure out what in the blue hell is Jay talking about. Unh! Unh?! Just stop with the adlibs already. I will say that I am looking forward to the video. I think its always interesting to compare my vision of the video to the actual clip.
I almost didn't recognize Brandy in these pictures. I can't put my finger on it but Moesha is looking a little different. Maybe its the Miss Cleo call-me-now-for-your-free-tarot-reading pose she is pulling off in the first picture. She looks like the leader of the bad wig society. It just something about the way she is holding her hands which leads me to think that she drips the blood of a sacrificial lamb across her lace fronts before she wears them. See more flicks of Brandy, Ray J, and Meagan Good at CL!
This is the most amusing lierumor I've heard all month.
Yesterday a close friend to R&B superstar Ashanti confirmed to MediaTakeOut.com what people have been speculating for weeks - that Ashanti is four months pregnant.
And the pregnancy may explain Ashanti's new look. As the below photos show, the sexy songstress has gone through some changes in recent months. The first photo, taken last year, shows a slim and trim Ashanti. The second photo, taken a few weeks ago, shows Ashanti with a slight tummy bulge. It also shows that Ashanti's nose has widened and she appears to have a natural "glow" - both common indicators of pregnancy.
Many industry insiders are speculating that famed rapper Nelly is the father of the child. Nelly and Ashanti have been dating for nearly three years and seem very happy together. And according to one of Nelly's pals, he's gotten so close to Ashanti that he's considering marriage.
But one insider tells MediaTakeOut.com that she believes the father of the child is Irv Gotti, the married head of Ashanti's record label. Gotti, who openly admits to cheating on his wife, was linked romantically to Ashanti early in her career. The two reportedly rekindled their romance earlier this year while working on her new album.

Sorry for the lack of entries around here. It's Hurricane season and we've been having some pretty shitty weather lately so my ISP has been touch and go. So I apologize for any future testicle diffifulties.
Its been a while since we last checked in with T.Error Mari since she's busy working on her sophomore album. She recently took some time out to enjoy some fun at her senior prom earlier this month. She looks like a glamorest (gotta love Trina) Bratz doll, awwww. And she decided to break out the Miss Black Awareness 1988 Rally gloves. Girl stop.
Now I'm wondering how old her friends actually are. Those chickie poos look like they are pushing 27. Don't get me wrong, they look nice and all but goodness. What are they serving to the kids at lunch nowdays? (Spotted via Cake and Ice Cream)
What the hell is with Toni? I don't know who is more redundant, her or DMX. Kerry needs to control his woman and tell her to stop showing the world her goodies. Hoe sit down, it has been less than 48 hours and you're trying to pull this shit again. Thanks Courtney and Da Real!
Harrah's Casino Hotel Grand Opening of VEX Night Club
If Omaroacha and her rented titties decided to show up you already know that Vivica wouldn't be far behind. This must have been a party for D-List celebrities only. Corey Feldman and Cris Judd were also at the event. Enough said.
As the president of the Nippy Stan Fan Association I am happy to report the following news. Marcus emailed me these screen caps of a video that was recently released of Nippy getting her praise on. Since the footage was taken in an actual church in L.A. I believe that its safe to say that she wasn't at one of Kerney's dance dance revolutions.
Now I hope that the church isn't selling and distributing this video along with spaghetti dinners as a fund raiser. My God says that isn't right. But since I don't know much about the video I can only speculate at the moment. I don't see how Whitney was able to concentrate with Sister Luenelle and her mushroom wig sitting in front of her.
I'll be the first to admit that Jada scares me sometimes when I see her perform live with Wicked Wisdom but I'm starting to get used to it. If she chooses to express herself through her music then fine. Whatever. Just as long as she doesn't go all Courtney Love on me I'm good.
Ozone magazine has this section in each issue called 'Groupie Confessions' where a new lady spills the beans about her, ahem, fun with different rappers every month. This chick could've easily qualified for her own column.
A student told yesterday how she had rumpy-plumpy with 20st Gnarls Barkley star Cee-Lo Green -- and giggled: "We had to man-oeuvre round his big belly." Emma Speare, 18, added: "His stomach was so massive it was like he was pregnant. [ It's not right, but is okay. - - Fresh]
"But I soon learned there were ways and means. He's a good lover, although let's put it this way -- he didn't get to go on top!" Emma met US singer Cee-Lo, 32, in a London nightclub as he promoted his record-breaking hit Crazy, the first single to go straight to No 1 based on digital downloads. After quaffing champagne together, he booked her and her sister Sarah into the posh Sanderson Hotel, where Emma sneaked into his £900-a-night suite.
Emma, from Liverpool, said: "We just talked all night. There was a bit of messing around but no sex. I was just taken in by his great personality and his aura." (continue)
Now I could've sworn Cee-Lo was married. I guess they have an open marriage. Yeah, either that or he is just fucking around on his wife. I love 'Lo and all but I don't see how this girl did it. He looks like a chubby dwarf.
No I don't think we will ever see Bey in a t-shirt and a fresh pair. But really, who cares? To each its own. Plus you know that is Tina's child! I guess she knows a fabulostic secret that no one cared to fill me in on. I'm waiting for these two to perform at the Soul Train Awards one day together like J. Lo and Marc Anthony did at the Grammy's last year. Thanks Lelia for the tip, pictures via Beyonceworld.
Not So Interesting Bey-Z Fact # 512 : Sometimes they walk together, sometimes they don't. Wow!
I can't get enough of this YouTube clip! Some of you may have already seen this since I posted it as a bullentin on Myspace Friday. Over the weekend I think I've watched this about 500 times. I also decided to take a look at his website and who did I see? Furonda! Well, I think it's her.
Last time we saw Shug Avery she was shaking her shimmy across the American Idole stage. Now she has taken her act all the way to Berlin. I don't understand what is going on with her panties. Granny in the front, fun in the back? (spotted at D listed)
Mr. Lip Gloss & Chinese Slippers celebrated his 50th birthday over the weekend in NYC. Everybody looks great besides the obvious two repeat offenders.

While most Whitney Houston fans can do nothing but watch as the one-time singing powerhouse spirals downward from reported substance abuse, one supporter in Los Angeles has decided to do something about it.
Calvin 'Cashears' Shears, a cabaret singer living in the Jefferson Park area, is holding a press conference Monday in Leimert Park to announce the "We Love You, Whitney" Day, which calls for a "national day of support" for the entertainer."I hope that at least 50 to 60 cities will get involved," Cashears told Los Angeles newspaper Our Weekly. "We will have the rally nationwide July 1 simultaneously in all of the cities."
"I am contacting radio stations to get the word out about Whitney and I am also sending out letters to people across the country to lend their support," he added. "I'm calling on all "black politicians, ministers, civil rights groups, black radio stations, newspapers, college students and the rest of our people to send a collective message of thunderous love across America to Whitney Houston."
Cashears says his effort is rooted in a profound love of the Grammy-winning diva, or, in his book, "the greatest female voice of all time." (continue)
Now that's what I call are true Stan. So, how will you celebrate National Nippy Day?
Aleska forwarded the following blind items to me. If you have any idea of where they came from please let me know in the comments so the source can be credited. I'm usually good at these but I'm scratching my head a little.
Blind Item #1 by Sin-Q
Years ago, this black male superstar flew to the East Coast to do a cameo in a film (although acting is not his industry). While in New York, he became involved in some weird and deviate things. He explored his dark side and he became uninhibited. When he returned to Hollywood, he had changed and has never recovered. He became weird, bizarre and strange. He has admitted to a few friends that something really bad and really terrible and horrifying happened to him but he refuses to discuss it any further. This incident affected his life so much, it's like he became another person overnight.
Blind Item #2: by Algiers
This woman is the most arrogant, nastiest, bitchiness, rudest black woman to ever come through Hollywood. When she travels, she will call a maid to pour her a glass of tap water from the sink. She has spit in employees faces, she loves to scream and berate her assistants. And she is so miserable in her marriage, she takes it out on others. That's why no one has come to her defense regarding recent situations she has found herself in. She has burned so many bridges throughout her career, that no one likes her.
Jay-Z has announced a concert commemorating the release of his landmark debut album, Reasonable Doubt, to take place at New York's Radio City Music Hall on June 25 -- 10 years to the day after the albums' release.
Hova says he'll perform the entire album, possibly in the order the tracks appear on the LP. "Just maybe, I don't want to put myself in a box," he said when announcing the concert on New York radio station Hot 97 Thursday. . . (continue)
He also has a brand new HP campaign going on. You can take a closer look at it by visting the viewing room on HP's site. Here's a link to the commerical on Youtube. For a better version check out the site. I think its pretty cool.
Pulled back the shower curtain this morning and who did I see standing there holding a bar of Dove? Little Penny Woods. She's everywhere! I love Janet as much as the next 80's baby but she is starting to scare me a bit. Every time I see her she looks a bit "different." Damita Jo, please stop hitting up these different events and get some rest. I don't want you to end up looking like this the next time I see you.
There is a lot "hatin" for Vivica Fox lately! I think she is fine! Not a great TV actress but a better movie actress. I almost hate to show you what I am about to show you! I saw this picture of her and Tyson. The botox and plastic surgery are Really taking a toll on her "sexy"! When I saw this I immediately thought of "someone" else from my past. Late 70's or early 80's . . . Wayland Flowers character "Madame" from Solid Gold.
"I once arranged for a boyfriend to pick me up from a hair salon, but I'd fallen asleep under the dryer with my mouth wide open and drool dripping out. I woke up to find a pretty big puddle of spit in my lap and my boyfriend laughing his head off. I was so embarrassed."
Beyonce is also looking to assemble an all female band for her upcoming promo gigs.
Auditions will be held in various locations around the country to find women who play drums, keys, bass, guitar, horns (alto, tenor, sax, trumpet) and percussion. The ladies will play before Beyonce's creative team, but the singer herself will make the final selections.
Musicians should be at least 18 years and older and prepared to play her hit song, "Work It Out," as performed on the "Beyonce: Live At Wembley" DVD. In addition to having a "look," musicians auditioning for the touring ensemble must be able to play by ear (reading music is optional). Musicians auditioning must bring a headshot and resume, and be able to play a one minute (minimum) solo. (continue)
I wonder if Michelle can play the guitar, hmmm. And it looks like Mama Tina is also accepting applications over at the HOD.
Nick Cannon Introduces the Boost Mobile RockCorps 200
Well if it isn't our favorite certified gangsta friend Nick Cannon. And hanging out with a well known Snowman and Keyshia Cole. Somebody's trying to earn a ghetto pass I see.
Fresh Flicks: Official Launch of the 2006 Turks and Caicos International Film Festival
LisaRaye is back and yes she is wearing white . . . again. But hey, it works for her. But enough about her, check out Cree Summer! I haven't seen her in a while. She's doing a good job preserving her sexy. And Kym Whitley finally looks she passed on the "church clothes" rack at Miss Kim's beauty supply and spent more than $19.99 on a dress, praise the King.
Don't look at the picture of Rohan Marley for more than 15 seconds. You may get the urge to start dressing like Pippi Longstockings and buy a large afro wig.

Vida Guerra To Appear In Playboy . . . But What's The Point?
Since I've recieved about 12 emails from the scrotum crowd about this I guess I will talk about it.
Why pay for the cow when you can get the milk for free on the internet?
Last year nude SideKick pictures of Vida "mysteriously" surfaced on the internet. The rumors that she had them leaked herself immediately followed shortly afterward. Allegedly, Miss Guerra thought that this would be a good way to promote her new single. I guess she didn't want to pay a street team.
Just in case you are curious about what her rap skills are like you can check out a snippet here.Move over Brook-lyn, you got competition! Wow, isn't that starting line borrowed from Mase?
Anyway, the Playboy issue hits stands on Friday. Grab your lotion and enjoy I suppose. Speaking of SideKicks check this out. Way to go dumb ass.
Thanks for the all the emails guys. After Blogger went crazy I decided to go shopping yesterday. Lace front wigs for everybody. Now let's get on with it.
Yesterday, however, WQHT morning host Miss Jones, who has had some tension with Blige in the past, said she was told that Blige shouted out other Hot-97 deejays on the stage - Angie Martinez, Funkmaster Flex, Mister Cee, Fatman Scoop - and didn't mention Miss Jones.
Jones added that she didn't see Blige's set and said she was told it was great, but she said the shout-out omission was uncalled for. She called Blige a b---- and moved on.
If it's on her mind, Miss Jones has always said, she's going to say it. (source)
You know the saying if I wanted to hear from an asshole I would fart? That's how I feel about Miss Jones most of the time. She says some of the most stupid shit, and then once she realizes the damage that has been done tries to apologize for it.
You may remember on season 917 of "Making The Band" where she was judging the girls by their clothing. Jonesy ended up putting her foot dead into her mouth when she started to roast a girl from New Orleans that had lost everything from Hurricane Katrina. Then she got all on her tits by saying "oh, I admire you're strength and courage so much."
Bitch please, you wasn't saying that when you was talking about the poor child. You will never be invited to the Crunk + Disorderly Legend's Ball (ha!). Hoe sit down.
You Sent It: Nay Nay Wants A Baby; Tocarra And Shawnna Have Fun
Naomi Campbell is trying for a baby with lover Badr Jafar -- in a bid to mend her wild ways.
Pals say the supermodel -- accused of assaulting a former maid in the US -- is desperate to start a family.
Naomi, 36, has been dating Dubai petroleum heir Badr for eight months. She believes the millionaire is "the one".
A pal says: "She is desperate to have a baby with him.
She hopes this will put an end to her wild days and make her life complete." (source)
I pray that this is a rumor. I would hate to hear about her ass being arrested for child abuse after tossing a baby monitor at the poor kid. I personally wouldn't let Nay Nay keep a damn Neo Pet. Thanks Aleska!
Tocarra and Shawnna hosted an event earlier this week. At first glance I assumed that it was some type of big breast bash but I'm probably wrong. Check out more pictures from the party at Indmix. Thanks Evan for the link.
On life after B2K: "It taught me about working with people, taught me how important love was and loyal and how money is and all of that stuff. But I knew the Lord wanted me to walk through that transition to build my character and what not. Now I'm even stronger. "
On rumors regarding his sexuality: "The rumors and stuff like that, I don't really care. I don't let anything kind of really hold me back. I believe in trying to improve and trying to make a change and some people will look over and see that was a very mature decision, you know, to try and inspire the youth to think different. I kind of got tired of being like, if I got a gay friend I can't hang around them without someone thinking that we're dating or we're doing something together. I just want to let people know that I am a supporter, and I'm a strong supporter and here's the way I'm a show you. I'm not here to judge."
On his upcoming role on Noah's Arch: "It was a very, very positive role. It was to raise the awareness for kids with HIV and the kids who have AIDS. That's our demographic. Fifty percent of those people are our people. I felt like it was a mature decision for me to play a gay character."
Read the entire interview at BV. Don't forget that June is Black Music Month! Black Voices has a ton of new music features this month that you may want to check out.Thanks Erica for the link!
So I heard the rumor that you have been dropped for your record label Island Def Jam. In times like this there is no need to sweat out your perm or pull your weave out.
During your time of unemployment do what you wanna do, don't let nobody tell you what you're supposed to do. Spend time with your new boyfriend, keep promoting So Amazin', doing a spread for King magazine, and continue to talk about Nick Cannon every moment you can get. When you see Jay-Z scream on em. You are not Beyonce and don't have to take his shit!
Remember, you can make it if you try. . . make it if you try.
There have been rumors circulating for some time now that Lil' Wayne and Trina were on the outs. From the looks of things Weezy F. Baby is still helping Katrina LaVerne spell her nameout correctly when signing autographs. Awww! The two were spotted at the Pembroke Lakes Mall in Miami yesterday at an album singing for DJ Khaled.
Before stopping by, they both hit up Canal Street where Trina brought her Aretha Franklin inspired wig for a street vendor for $14.99.
Probably.
Anyway, Pitbull and Rick Ross(pictured here with Trina and DJ Khaled) also showed their faces. You can check out more pictures at Whats Poppin.
Aneska emailed this New York Post blind item to me since I haven't posted one in a while. This is pretty easy to figure out I think.
This black comedian comes off as pro-black and some of his rhetoric is anti-white but behind closed doors, he is involved with numerous white women and it's been reported that he has two kids by two different white women. When people tell him he's a hypocrite, he gets defensive and proclaims that white women are also victims and he can relate to their struggle, which he compares to the "Civil Rights Struggle."
Alicia Keys attends the Syracuse University press conference to announce the Bandier Program for Music and Entertainment Industries at MTV TRL Studios on June 5, 2006 in New York City. Founded through a gift by Syracuse University alumnus Martin Bandier, Chairman and Co-CEO of EMI Music Publishing, the Bandier program will blend music, communications, business and entrepreneurship Curricula into a 128-credit program leading to a bachelor of science degree.
Although most of her hit singles have got on my last damn nerve in the past I am always glad to see her face out there. Besides, every time I see a picture of her I imagine her saying "yeah, wha-wha-what un-un-unh" and jerking her head. I'll give it a year or two before she finds her inner "Brooke" (or whatever Mary J. Blige's calls herself) and picks up a mic. I like to call her "AK."El Presidente Carter was also hiding in attendance taking a break from his purse watcher duties.
Some of you may have already seen this but just a few minutes ago I watched this clip of DMX ranting and raving on Nah Right for the first time. Make no mistakes about it, all crackheads get love on this site.
If his true call in life is to be a pastor please remind me never to visit his church on friends and family day. My nerves are shot so I don't think I could take a 45 minute sermon from Earl. Barking, crying, talking about chinese slippers and lip gloss . . . I don't think I can handle it. If this is anything like how his show is going to be HOT DAMN I got to buy a Tivo tomorrow. Here's your anti-drug for the month of June:
If the possibility of a Nick Cannon sex tapewasn't enough to make you want to cringe how about some fresh OJ in your life?
As the 12th anniversary of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman approaches on June 12, a video that appears to show the disgraced gridiron great in a three-way hard-core romp is hitting the Internet. The tape, portions of which have been viewed by the Daily News, shows a man who's a dead ringer for Simpson having cocktails with two women in a hotel room, then stretching out on a bed and unzipping his pants. The man, who has the same wobbly knees as the 58-year-old Heisman Trophy winner, is later seen naked.
Other footage shows a man with the same body type as Simpson having sex with the women, although his face isn't visible.
"I didn't believe in sex addicts until my last few girlfriends," Simpson says on the 25-minute tape, according to a trailer for the video, which is due to go on sale today for $19.95 at www.badoj.com. "I'm a sexaholic! . . . If I'm not sexually active, I become destructive."
Phoenix-based celebrity skin broker David Hans Schmidt said that at one point during the action, Simpson and one of the women go into a bathroom to snort cocaine while the other woman rifles through Simpson's pants and removes money from his wallet. Elsewhere on the tape, said Schmidt, Simpson sings, "If I only had a brain."[Ha ha- - Fresh] (continue)
Eartha Kitt had a good excuse to postpone the opening of her monthlong gig at Cafe Carlyle from April until tonight: She had colon cancer. "I never expect anything to happen to me," the iconic singer, 79, told Page Six. "I'm the healthiest person in the world." But back in April, her hand was hurting from carpal tunnel syndrome, so she went to the doctor, who found she was also anemic. Further tests discovered the cancer. "They operated right away, and I'm fine," Kitt said. Sounding a lot like Katie Couric, who lost her husband to colon cancer, Eartha added, "I'd advise everyone to get a colonoscopy."
Meanwhile, she's happy to be working. "It makes me feel grateful that I'm still wanted. Anyway, what would I retire to?" And she's pleased that Beyonce has taken an interest in starring in a Kitt biopic, which could be based on her three volumes of memoirs. "My life has been so damned interesting," she admitted.(source)
Ladies And Gentlemen Your New Bob Marley
Jamie Foxx is set to play Bob Marley in a new biopic focusing on the reggae icon's early life.
Film-maker Rachid Bouchareb is set to direct the project which is the brainchild of the one love star's widow Rita. Bouchareb says, "I've always liked the story of what made Marley the man. "I want to look at him as a child through to a young man, and how he became interested in Africa." (source)
I'm not too sure about this one. I like Jamie and all but we all know how he can get. Don't be surprised if him and Kanye make some type of reggaeton collaboration with him chanting like Dylan.
The last time we last caught up with our hero Bobby Brown some ladies across the pond were fighting over him like he was Flava Flav or some shit. I'm so happy to see that Bobby is out having fun without getting locked up (knocks on wood) or without all of those damn kids following along.
These pictures were taken aboard Tom Joyner's Fantastic Voyage Cruise. I know most of these people are old enough to be my egg and sperm donors (hell, maybe even grandparents) but I wouldn't have a problem partying with them. I know I could find a nice sugar daddy no doubt.
It looks like 06.06.06 came a little sooner than we all expected, no? What other explanation could Jasmine Guy give for dressing up like little black riding hood? Clutch your pearls ladies and gentlemen because I think she has put a spell on us all. Father Time has been kicking a lot of ass lately. Thanks Mya for the pictures I think ;)
From the looks of these picutures Summer Jam seemed like one big collective "yawn" but of course I could be wrong. The only thing I can spot that was remotely close to being exciting was Da Brat trying to flash her dick again. I don't know what's with that girl.
You know the saying any publicity is good publicity? I think that would be a wonderful way to sum up Remy Ma's wardrobe selection over the span of her career. I just cannot understand for the life of me how she looks in the mirror and says "yeah, this straight" before she makes an appearance. Somebody made the comment last week that it takes a lot of self esteem for some people to try to pull off some of the shit they do and I couldn't agree more.
U.G.otta.L.ove.Y.ourself
Like I've said before, I blame this on her team of stylist (which probably consists of someone named Lil' Mama). Have you muthafuckas no shame? Even the background dancers (first picture) look like they sell food stamps for collateral. Not to mention it looks like she's got a whiff of Cognac's kitty.
There's nothing like coming back off a fresh mini-vacation! Let's be clear folks I am not my blog. Ha ha! You will not find me in front a computer on the weekend. Resizing pictures and reporting gossip or keeping new appointments with the dealer? Hmm, what would you do? Like Pink and Jaleel WhiteI am not dead. Just living.
Vivica @ Jayneoni's Pre-MTV Movie Awards Birthday and Fashion Bash
Moving along, I couldn't help but notice after about 10 emails that Vivica A. Mess is back to her old tricks again. It took me about a minute and a half to recognize her after looking at these pictures. You already know, bitch looks darksided.
I apologize for any testicle difficulties the site may be having today. Blogger is on the rag again. Now here's an event I would've love to been at! First off let me just say that Andre Harrell is my new muse. I'm still working out the purpose of his "expiration" but I love the guy. Fabulosity at its finest. Tyson still looks like he is trying to sell me weed and Naima still needs help but what's new.
I've never noticed the striking similiarities between Solange and Orlando Jones before Butta said something. Now that's some funny and scary shit all at once. Anyway, the story line for the movie is so played. It was cute when Gabby and Resse did it but now its super corny.
Get ready for more fun, more attitude and more excitement than ever before! At Pacific Vista High School, popular Britney (Hayden Panettiere) is captain of the cheerleading squad. But Britney's life quickly turns from cheer-topia to cheer-tastrophe when her father's job moves her family across town to urban Crenshaw Heights. At her new school, Britney finds herself at odds with her classmates, especially with 'it' girl Camille (Solange Knowles-Smith), the cheer captain of the Crenshaw Heights Warriors. But when Britney proves herself and secures a coveted spot on the cheer squad, the Warriors find themselves in a cross-town 'cheer-off' to star in music sensation Rihanna's upcoming video. With edgy new moves, the no-holds-barred fight to the finish will test friendships, loyalties and talents -- but only one team can 'bring it' and earn a place in cheer history! (continue)
I can honestly say I've never had even the slightest crush on Usher. He reminds me too much of an ex-boyfriend I had a few years ago. Yes, I have been to the darkside of dating a metrosexual and honey it just wasn't for me. There are some things I simply refuse to share and feminine hygiene products is one. I had to warn homeboy more than once about using my shit until one day I just couldn't take it any more. Just because its strong enough for a man doesn't mean you need to be trying to use it! Ugh, I could go on and on about his sorry ass but I'll save you the headache.
Ursh has been on my shit list ever since that incident with Sandra Rose went down. I'm patiently waiting for someone to slap that nigga or give him the clap.
You Sent It: LisaRaye In The Turks & Caicos Islands
Hosts Luncheon For Women in Providenciales (Grand Turk; May 22, 2006) Mrs. Lisaraye McCoy Misick in her new role as First Lady of the Turks & Caicos Islands is taking the time to become acquainted with some of the prominent women from the Providenciales Community.On Friday May 19th, 2006, she hosted a luncheon at Grace's Cottage that gave her the opportunity to connect with the women and familiarize herself with the culture of the Turks & Caicos Society.
Mrs. Lisaraye McCoy Misick has said that being the first lady of the Turks & Caicos Islands is a tremendous learning experience and she is looking forward to contributing in her own way to the growth and development of the Turks & Caicos. Known to have a keen interest in young persons, Mrs. McCoy Misick is expected to begin her countrywide school tour, scheduled to commence later this month.Thanks for the email Jaylah!
Boris Kodjoe & Nicole Ari Parker At Wolfgang Puck Cut Steakhouse Opening
Now here's a Hollywood couple I actually like. You won't see them out at every event in town, so when you do stumble across them its always nice (or at least in my opinion). As you can see Nicole is very pregnant with the couple's second child. Thanks Kaylah for the pictures :)
Speaking of pregnant women with Nicole appearing some where in their name, Anna Nicole Smith's crazy ass has confirmed that she is also with child. Trim Spa baby!

* You know people were coming up to him saying "You look so familiar. Where do I know you from?" all night long. He probably had to do that dumb ass motorcycle dance and rap a couple of bars from "It's Goin' Down" and then point at his shirt.
Mariah is such a damn deevah until it's wonderful. In the following clip you will notice her doing that shit she does with her hands when she is flexing her famous octave range, dahlings. Also be sure to check out her brushing some unexpecting fan off.
Use don't abuse (ie. adding me to your site's mailing list). And for the love of God please stop sending mp3 files of your music. I am not Clive Davis and to be frank I probably don't want to hear the shit anyway. You should also know that I take my slow, precious time responding to email. And sometimes I don't respond at all.

This may be old news to some of you but it's new to me! Caramel Hunny sent this in to me this morning and I had to share it with you. 
Naomi Campbell is being accused of less-than-model behavior again, this time by another of her maids who claims the supermodel hit her.
Kanye West in the past has discussed his addiction to porn, and a source tells The New York Post the rapper posed at a "major music magazine" recently leaving behind a present for the photographer and stylist. "There was a huge box full of porn," the insider revealed. "It was all white girls with black guys." West did not call to ask for the pictures back. (Page Six)
According to Contact Music, Whitney decided to visit that Los Angeles church a few weeks back after being invited by Denzel Washington and Mel Gibson. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. After confessing she had a drug problem (its about time!), Cherelle was able to talk some sense into her.
Things are heating up already in the Strahan divorce! Jean Strahan is now accusing Michael of . . . well, I'll let you read about it. 
I wasn't going to talk about this rumor at first because I could really give two shits (really) about it. But since 999,999 people kept sending email about it, I decided to go ahead and do a post about it.
Giants sack king Michael Strahan and his estranged wife blitzed each other with dueling tales of wild, free-spending ways yesterday in a divorce court clash. Strahan said his soon-to-be ex-wife spoiled their toddler twin girls, recently lavishing nearly $100,000 on them - including $27,000 for clothes alone.
You probably known Rodney Henry as the young fellow on 'College Hill' with the extremely jacked up bottom teeth (or at least that's how I remember his ass). On the first episode I could've sworn it was some type of grill. Well, would you believe that he has been keeping company with none other than Miss This-Is-My-Signature-Walk aka Camille from the second season of ANTM?! Now that's a combo I would never expect.
Rapper/actor Nick Cannon has launched a subtle war of words with chart rival Bow Wow, claiming the teenager is too harmless to be "a thug". Cannon is firing off after Bow Wow, real name Shad Anthony Moss, criticised his peer for being too clean-cut - like Will Smith.
Beyonce was confronted Thursday night at the swanky restaurant Nobu in New York City by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The two had won an eBay auction, benefiting VH1's Save the Music Foundation, to dine with the star. Beyonce had no idea they were PETA members.
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott always thought her life story would make a good movie. And thanks to none other than the sista-loving Robert DeNiro, the dream is about to come true in a major way. DeNiro's Tribeca Films, along with Missy's manager Mona Scott, will produce an as-yet-untitled biopic of the entertainer for Universal Pictures. The journey to Universal began with a pitch to Scott from writer Dianne Houston, who penned the screenplay based on Elliott's life. Scott helped flesh it out a bit before taking it to longtime friend Jane Rosenthal, DeNiro's partner at Tribeca Films. The company decided to produce the project through its first-look deal with Universal. (continue)
Is R&B crooner Usher back with stylist-turned-girlfriend, Tameka Foster? Over the weekend, a Lowdown spy saw the 27-year-old Usher in Barneys with the about-37-year-old Foster, a mother of three who recently divorced fashion designer Ryan Glover. He was buying her a pair of Manolo Blahniks while the two were in town for record exec L.A. Reid's birthday bash.
Hewpz is out breaking the law, breaking the law. A couple of days ago she was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Poor Mr. Cop, I know she probably whooped his ass. You know she got those little midget slap boxing arms of galvanized steel.
Yesterday a close friend to R&B superstar Ashanti confirmed to MediaTakeOut.com what people have been speculating for weeks - that Ashanti is four months pregnant.
A student told yesterday how she had rumpy-plumpy with 20st Gnarls Barkley star Cee-Lo Green -- and giggled: "We had to man-oeuvre round his big belly." Emma Speare, 18, added: "His stomach was so massive it was like he was pregnant. [ It's not right, but is okay. - - Fresh]
