Ice-T and his wife, model Nicole (CoCo) Austin, are ready to dole out relationship advice. "Me and Ice are currently writing a book about creating and maintaining a successful relationship," CoCo told us yesterday. "We have had great success in balancing our careers and private lives, and we would like to share some of that knowledge with others who are in need of guidance and/or inspiration." I know I've always wondered how CoCo balances. (source)

Rapper Jay-Z is to leave the advertising world fizzing with anticipation after agreeing to help soft drinks giant Coca-Cola relaunch its Cherry Coke line.
The 99 Problems star's Rocawear firm will design the new Cherry Coke can and the product's TVcommercials, and Jay-Z will appear at its 7 February (07) relaunch at New York Fashion Week.
Rocawear's Jameel Spencer says, "Besides just recording, he's making TV commercials and campaigns for brands... who is better than Coke? They're the biggest. His role is helping brands not get it wrong the way McDonald's did with African-Americans rapping about French fries. There's a reassurance that they won't appear like an out-of-touch uncle trying to act cool." (

Shaquille O'Neal put his police skills to use early Sunday.
O'Neal, the Miami Heat's All-Star center and a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department, followed a driver who allegedly crashed into his Cadillac Escalade and tried to flee the scene, the team said.
O'Neal and bodyguard Jerome Crawford followed the driver for about five minutes. When the driver, identified by the Miami Herald as 18-year-old Emmnueo Cibrin of Tampa, stopped near a gas station, O'Neal approached the car and summoned a nearby police officer.
Police did not release an incident report Sunday night. Miami-Dade Corrections officials said they had no record of anyone by Cibrin's name being booked on a criminal charge, and it was unclear if he was ticketed for any moving violations.
The incident happened around 4 a.m., shortly after the Heat got home from a Saturday game in Chicago. O'Neal was helping Crawford, a team security official, unload luggage outside Crawford's home in Miami's Coconut Grove neighborhood when the accident occurred. (source)
"I've been stalking Jay-Z more than three years," Katrina says matter-of-factly. "Jay-Z is the CEO of Def Jam [Records]. He's a big celebrity. In my mind, he's more than that. He is just my dream. I can't seem to think of anybody else. He is my all and all." Katrina buys every magazine Jay-Z is in, has called him over 300 times and e-mails him 200 times a day, but he has never responded. She even had a T-shirt made up with Jay-Z's and her picture, that she says she sleeps in every night. "Jay-Z's real name is Shawn Corey Carter. When I'm writing songs, I would just call him Shawn. I make up my own songs and leave them on his voice mail," she shares. "I went to a Web site that has gossip, and they believe anything you say. I e-mailed them a letter, saying I was Jay-Z's ex. I also went as far as saying Jay-Z liked me better than [his girlfriend] Beyonce. He's in love with me," she reveals. "Everything was made up. . . "
Katrina's friends have pointed out that she'll never be able to take Jay-Z from Beyonce. "I don't care. To me, I am Beyonce. I am every man's dream. I'm accomplishing it by just looking in the mirror and saying, 'Jay-Z's going to be my man,'" she says. Katrina explains that when she heard a rumor that Jay-Z proposed to Beyonce, she snapped and tore all his pictures up. "I want to see Beyonce and Jay-Z one day in public and just go there and snatch her weave out." (continue)

That young lady is really going places in life. Forget Rocky Balboa, she's a true American underdog.

Isaiah Washington entered a residential treatment facility Wednesday morning ABC has confirmed following reports by two media companies that he had entered a program to deal with anger management and homophobia.
"We applaud and encourage Isaiah's realization that he needs help and his subsequent choice to seek immediate treatment for his behavioral issues," said Grey's Anatomy executive producer Shonda Rhimes in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Washington is reportedly trying to do "whatever it takes" to keep his starring role on the hit TV series.
Monday Washington met with representatives of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. (story)
The meeting, set up by ABC, was the first between LGBT groups and Washington since his homophobic remarks at the Golden Globe Awards a week ago.
GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings said that Washington appeared "genuinely apologetic" and agreed to a follow-up. (source)

Uplifting musical "Dreamgirls" has topped the Oscar nominations with eight nods here but suffered a dramatic snub by being omitted from the best picture and best director categories.
The film about a 1960s soul group had been viewed as a strong contender for the top prize at next month's 79th Academy Awards in Hollywood but instead was bumped out of the reckoning by Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima."
The omission of "Dreamgirls" leaves Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" and Golden Globes winner "Babel," which earned seven nods, as the front-runners with "Little Miss Sunshine" and royal drama "The Queen" completing the line-up. (source)

"A black woman scorned is the worst kind of scorn -- and I've felt it from Terry,'' Plummer said. "That's why I'm doing this (book) -- to help (black men who have come out of the closet) and to give my spin on things.''
Plummer denies McMillan's claim that he married her for her money or to get citizenship, insisting he truly loved her when he left Jamaica at age 20 to live with her.
"I know she was hurt, but I was hurt, too ... and trying to be honest about my sexuality,'' he said.
Awhile later, he called us back: "Say,'' Plummer asked, "do you think you could mention where I work -- the Diablo Beauty Salon in Danville? I could use the clients.'' (source)

Nathaniel Abraham, who shot and killed a man when he was 11 and was convicted of murder at 13, is close to tasting freedom.
Abraham appeared Thursday for his final review hearing and was to be released from state supervision by Friday - his 21st birthday. "I'm going to make the best of it," Abraham told the court of his future.
Abraham has been living in a halfway house in Bay City, 70 miles north of his family in Pontiac. It was there where he was convicted of second-degree murder in the 1997 death of 18-year-old Ronnie Lee Greene outside a convenience store. Though convicted as an adult, Abraham was sentenced as a juvenile by Oakland County Probate Judge Eugene Moore.
Abraham was the first young person charged with murder to be prosecuted under a 1997 Michigan law that allowed adult prosecutions of children of any age in a serious felony case. (source)

Mary, rest assure that if things don't work out with Kendu that K-Ci will always be waiting in the wings with an ice cold fawdie.Mary J. Blige has slammed former employees who are out to break up her happy marriage by circulating rumours the romance is on the rocks.
The "Family Affair" singer had to face questions about the state of her union with manager/husband Kendu Isaacs just before Christmas ('06) after reports they'd split hit the Internet.
The R&B star insists the rumours were circulated by disgruntled ex-employees, who make too much of nothing.
She says, "That's people that come around . . . You hire them and then you fire them, and then they're disgruntled and then they start rumours over maybe something, like, they probably seen us having a quick argument or something like that.
"When I get angry, I get angry. That's just Mary . . . I go to the point where it looks like something, but it's not what you think it is. "(source)

New couple alert? Apparently so! I've been getting calls from readers and radio listeners from the Tampa, FL area who spotted 'Confessions of a Video Vixen' author Karrine Steffans hanging out with boxer Antonio Tarver in that city over the last couple of weeks.
I'm told the two dined at the Italian restaurant Maggiano's one night and then there were spottings at clubs like Blue Martini and Jackson's. There was even a sighting at a golf course in Tampa as well. Tarver recently starred in the surprise box office hit 'Rocky Balboa.' Steffans recently inked a new two-book deal with Warner Books for her forthcoming series, 'The Vixen Diaries.' Stay tuned... (source)

Remember Artie from the "Wendy Williams Experience?" Well he guest hosted the morning show on Philadelphia's 100.3 The Beat (where Monie Love used to host) and his outrageous rant about a 7-year-old girl who was raped by a 40-year-old crackhead had the city in an uproar.
At one point, Artie said: "She probably used good ole ghetto survival techniques learned from the sluts and whores from the ghetto and backed that lil ass up so well and sucked a mean cock that her assailant probably put down his crack pipe for the rest of that day."
It doesn't stop there. Listen to the audio attached to hear Artie in action. He's got more shocking audio too on his MySpace page. (I'm willing to bet he'll be permanently hosting that morning show real soon!) And if I must say so myself, Wendy's show hasn't been the same without him.

"[When Julez was 18 months old], our church service was during his usual naptime, so he was getting pretty grumpy. The pastor was saying his sermon, and he asked the congregation, 'Do we have any sinners in the house today?' and my son screams out, 'YES!!'
Then Julez throws a cup over the balcony, where it hits someone on the head. Now whenever I walk into church, everyone is like, 'No way I want to sit next to that kid!'" (source)

Kanye West and "Borat" director Larry Charles have teamed up to develop a new series for HBO.

In March, he signed on to produce a feature film inspired by his music. He will also appear in the film, which will show a portrait of the U.S. through the eyes of West and several other filmmakers. (source)
MARIAH CAREY Someone stole the belly off of every single outfit in her wardrobe! Every year Miss Mariah makes us suffer through an endless parade of microskirts, sequins, pleather and even wedding dresses. The "We Belong Together" singer proved this year that she is the queen of the comeback, so here's hoping she'll come back to reality and pick clothes that flatter (and cover!) her generous curves.
LIL' KIM The Queen Bee is no stranger to pushing the fashion envelope, but since busting out of jail she's developed a serious case of "skinny-girl syndrome" that has her bursting out of her clothes. The petite plus-size rapper has slimmed down since her prison stint, but all the stretch fabric in the world can't save her from a fashion police citation.
MOS DEF Every year, anti-establishment actor/performance artist Mos Def impresses with his impeccable style. He looks good on a red carpet in a designer suit, or downtown in an old leather jacket and one of his signature caps. Or, the other way around - it's just a matter of attitude. With his album "Tru3 Magic" dropping this month, we can only hope to see more of him in 2007. HIT OR MISS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE INCONSISTENT
KIMORA LEE SIMMONS Kimora can strut the runway or a red carpet with the grace of a swan. That's on her good days. She can also squeeze herself into too many too-tight gowns, bulging over the top and bottom like a stuffed sausage. And when the style mogul lets the bling get outta control, you had better cover your eyes.
JENNIFER LOPEZ The diva Latina with the killer caboose can usually be counted on for the plunging necklines and hip-huggers that raise (or lower) the bar on celebrity style. While J.Lo may have glowed in a curve-hugger at her Sweetface fashion show, Jenny hit a few bumps on the block in 2006 - such as her glorified do-rag and lame dress (was that an Oompa-Loompa?) at the MTV Video Music Awards. Ban the bandannas, and bring back the Versace!
SEAN (DIDDY) COMBS Since this music and media mogul dons so many hats (artist, producer, designer), you'd think he'd know how to accessorize. Alas, the man of too many monikers (Diddy? P. Diddy? Puffy?) often mars his otherwise sharp sense of bad-boy style with oversize bling and an obnoxious entourage - like the "spokesperson" he had answering all interview questions for him while walking the red carpet at MTV's Video Music Awards. We love ya Puff, but Jack Nicholson you are not. (source)

The body of soul singer James Brown has yet to be buried as attorneys and his children work to settle issues surrounding his estate, including where he will be laid to rest.
For now, his body lies in a sealed casket in his home on Beech Island, said Charles Reid, manager of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home in Augusta, Ga., which handled the services.
Brown died of heart failure Dec. 25 at age 73. His will has yet to be filed, said Buddy Dallas, an attorney for the singer. The room where Brown's body lies is being kept at a controlled temperature, and security guards keep watch, Reid said.
The funeral home delivered Brown's body after services Dec. 30, Reid said.
Brown's home has been locked since hours after his death to protect his memorabilia, furnishing, clothes and other personal items, Dallas said. "Just imagine what would have happened," Dallas said. "Items of James Brown would have left there like items off the shelves of Macy's in an after-Christmas sale."
The trustees for his will, along with Brown's children, will determine the burial site, Dallas said. (continue)

You have his CDs, you've chugged his vitamin water, you've worn his clothing but will you buy his condoms?

"We have to be a little more creative about it. It's the same with safe sex. As opposed to being part of a safe-sex campaign, I'm going to make condoms and donate a part of the proceeds to HIV awareness." (source)

Momofuku (Priceless. It looks like 'Muthafucku' if you glance at it quickly. - - Fresh) Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles - a dish that has sustained American college students for decades - has died. He was 96.
Nissin Food Products Co., the company Ando founded, said on its Web site that he died Friday after a heart attack.
Born in Taiwan, Ando founded his company in 1948 from a humble family operation. Faced with food shortages in post-World War II Japan, Ando thought a quality, convenient noodle product would help feed the masses.
In 1958, his Chicken Ramen, the first instant noodle, was introduced. After its success, the company added other products, such as the Cup Noodle in 1971. (source)

Oscar nominations are weeks away, but "Dreamgirls" star Beyonce Knowles is already facing a shut out in the Best Original Song category.
Though the former Destiny's Child frontwoman is credited on "Listen," a new song which was written specifically for the movie version of "Dreamgirls', there are too many co-writers for all of them to qualify for a statue. According to the Oscars rules, only two people are "normally" given statues in the category. A third can only get a statue if the organization's committee deems them an equal contributor.
Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler are the three that the Oscar songwriting branch have declared eligible for "Listen," The Academy has confirmed to Access Hollywood. (source)

Getting into Whitney Houston's pants - as well as the superstar's bras and bustiers - will be a snap next week. All you'll have to do is to open your checkbook and spend big.
The Grammy-winning diva is selling off hundreds of her famous stage outfits and accessories, including intimate undergarments, at an Irvington, N.J., auction next week - an event that could earn her hundreds of thousands of dollars in welcome cash.
In an embarrassing financial scare last year, Houston - who's been in rehab for drugs and recently filed for divorce from Bobby Brown - nearly lost her spectacular $6 million, 10-acre estate in Morris County because she owed tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes. But Tuesday's sale by A.J. Willner Auctions should be a small windfall for Houston, thanks to hundreds of her fans, as well as a number of impersonators, who are expected to whip the bidding into a frenzy.
Among the items on the block are 13 of Houston's Dolce & Gabbana bustier bras adorned with animal prints and sequins; four velvet bodysuits with "WH" logos; six black stretch pants; several gold, black, white and red evening dresses; and 16 wardrobe cases. (continue)

Oprah Winfrey opened a school Tuesday for disadvantaged girls, fulfilling a promise she made to former President Nelson Mandela six years ago and giving more than 150 students a chance for a better future.
"I wanted to give this opportunity to girls who had a light so bright that not even poverty could dim that light," Winfrey said at a news conference.
Mandela, 88, attended the opening ceremony of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in the small town of Henley-on-Klip, south of Johannesburg. He looked frail as he was helped on to the stage by his wife, Graca Machel, and Winfrey. But he beamed with joy and his speech resonated with pride.
"It is my hope that this school will become the dream of every South African girl and they will study hard and qualify for the school one day," he said in a firm voice.
Mandela thanked Winfrey for the "personal time and effort" she devoted to the school.
"This is not a distant donation but a project that clearly lies close to your heart," said the anti-apartheid leader who became multiracial South Africa's first democratically elected president in 1994.
Singers Tina Turner, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey, actors Sidney Poitier and Chris Tucker, and director Spike Lee also were in attendance. Each guest was asked to bring a personally inscribed book for the library.
Winfrey has said that she decided to build her own school because she wanted to feel closer to the people she was trying to help.
The $40 million academy aims to give 152 girls from deprived backgrounds a quality education in a country where schools are struggling to overcome the legacy of apartheid. (source)
