Hot or Not: Ciara Never Ever

This song has been my ISH for a minute so it 's about time she released the video.

Voletta Wallace to LiL Kim: "GO SIT DOWN"

I guess Voletta Wallace is getting fed up, just like the rest of us, with all the drama surrounding her son's biopic "Notorious". In a recent interview with Hip-Hop Weekly Ms. Wallace puts Lil' Kim on blast and lets her know how she really feels.

Read what she had to say below:

“She felt the character we chose for her was ‘too dark,’ ” Wallace said. “Do you know why the character was too dark for her? Because she’s a white woman trapped in a black woman’s body, and you can tell the world I said it, because those are Lil’ Kim’s words. She should be ashamed of herself.”

“Tell Lil’ Kim to go find herself, go drink a cup of green tea and get a life!” Wallace went on. “This movie is not about Lil’ Kim. She felt we used her character to promote [but] this movie is about my son. … Lil’ Kim needs to go sit down.”

I am starting to feel sorry for Kim b/c it seems like everyone is ganging up on her, first Charli B. and now Ms. Wallace.

ANTM Winner Jaslene is on Drugs

Seems likes Jaslene Gonzalez won't be becoming America's Next Top Model anytime soon. Word on the streets is that Jaslene has turned into a druggie, and she's not making it a secret either. It was reported that Jaslene was doing lines of coke in the public restroom of a cafe in NYC. Who would of ever thought that she would of ended up being a coke head,but I guess now we know how she managed to stay so skinny.

Daily Scoop of Chrianna

Rihanna performed last night at the Pepsi Smash Super Bowl Bash XLIII Bash in Tampa, Florida last night. Check out the pics from her performance below:

I think she's feeling herself a little too much on this pic

Girl you better sing!!!

While Rihanna was performing her boo Chris was partying it up in Paris with another chick. Looks like Rih Rih better get her man in check.

I guess Chris figured if he can't be with Rihanna he might as well get the next best thing, a Rihanna wannabe.

It's a Wrap for Danity Kane

To no ones surprise Danity Kane has officially split, former member Dawn Richards confirmed the news. As we all know Aubrey and D. Woods got the boot on the last season of Making the Band and now Shannon has too. The new season of Making the Band will air February 12th and Dawn and Aundrea are the only two members of Danity Kane that will appear on the show.

Read what Dawn had to say below:

“As of right now, [Danity Kane doesn't exist]. It’s devastating for me.”“We are the only two that showed up,” she said. “The thing about it … I thought we were all going to come back and talk, or maybe if Aubrey didn’t come back, ’cause I don’t know how Puff was feeling about that, if the four of us got together. I didn’t know what to expect. I just know I got off the plane and found out I was the only one there and Drea came the next day.”

Poor Dawn, now she is left all alone, at least she has her solo career to fall back on. I guess now the only thing Aubrey can do is keep being the slut she is, and for the others WHO KNOWS???

Oldies but Goodies...

Here go some pics that surfaced of Beyonce and Jay Z partying with Diddy and Cassie (in the background) while they were in DC. Double dates huh? Maybe some of hat Jay Z got will rub off on Diddy and he will realize it's not cool to still be a playboy going into your 40's! No need for photo creds unless your BLIND! Just in case shout to ATL photography for the pics ;-)

Like Mother Like Daughter... NOT

Ashanti and her ultra NOT fabulous mom hit up a Grammy Nomination party/b-day celebration at Suzie Wong's in NYC! Ashanti looks cute but Tina needs to give it up that red lipstick is so over kill and is it me or does it look like they both took in a huge breath and sucked it in as soon as the flashing lights came on... LMAO On an up note I guess Ashanti is shutting down those pregnancy rumors!

UPDATE on Kelly Dropping Papa Knowles

So I informed you all yesterday about Kelly dropping Matthew Knowles as her manager, and just to let you know it is official because they both have released statements about the split. Check them out below:

Matthew Knowles statement

“After a very positive meeting between Kelly Rowland and myself, we have amicably agreed to end our professional relationship. My company, Music World, will continue to manage Destiny’s Child as a group. As an artist Kelly has incredible talent and I only wish her the best. We will always be family first and foremost, and as a dad I only have love for Kelly.”

Kelly's publicist on behalf of Kelly

"Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance - both as a member of Destiny’s Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."

I am happy to know that there aren't any hard feeling between the two, at least that's what they want us to think.

WARNING: Adult Content

Now I understand T.I. wanting to enjoy his last few days being a free man, but he is definitely getting out of hand. During a performance in Las Vegas a couple days ago he took his shirt off and began wiping his privates with it, and if that wasn't bad enough he then gave the shirt to some girl in the crowd. EWW!!!

Check out the pics of T.I.'s indecent exposure below:

Charli Baltimore Speaks Out About Biggie...AGAIN

Seems like the drama is still continuing with the "Notorious" movie. First Kim was mad about her portrayal in the movie and now Charli B. is mad because she wasn't in it. Charli called out Kim in the past by saying that in fact she was never Biggie's girl, but now Charli is claiming that she was Big's official girl. Read what else Charli had to say in her interview with AllHipHop below.


On Being Big’s Only girl:

Charli Baltimore: Well anybody that knows Big, or D-Roc or Cease or any person that lived in Big’s house…even Ms. Wallace whether she wants to believe it or not, knows that I was Big’s girl. I don’t need to say it every five minutes, I don’t need to throw Big a dinner every year on his birthday and sit his picture there and pray all praises be to Big. I know what I had with Big, and I don’t need to explain it to everyone.
She also goes at Kim and Ms Wallace:


On Kim:

Wanted Christina Milian to portray her as Lil’ Kim? I wasn’t aware they were the same complexion [laughs]. Again I didn’t see the movie but last I checked, well I don’t know what color she is right now, but she was brown-skinned. Maybe she’s light-skinned now. I don’t know. People change skin tones in this day and age. I can’t see Christina Milian portraying Lil Kim. That’s not…that seems really weird to me, but you know, to each his own.


On Ms Wallace:

Maybe it made [Voletta Wallace] feel better [to leave Charli Baltimore out of the film], I don’t know. Maybe it made for juicier story lines to just use Kim and Faith

I definitely feel what Charli is saying and it's messed up how they ignored her in the movie, but I have had enough of all the drama regarding B.I.G.

Star Filled Event

Several celebs rolled out to the launch party for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 game "Afro Samurai" last night in Hollywood. Check out the celebs below:

The two love birds Lance and Eva were there.

Samuel L. Jackson is looking quite old these days

K. Fed's baby mama Shar Jackson

Chettah Girl Adrienne Bailon attended, and she is looking a lot different these days.

Aisha Tyler

K.D. Aubert

Chettah Girl Kiely Williams was also there

Now Do You Believe Us?

Kimora and her belly were spotted out and about with her baby's father the other day! You can really see the bump now! Go head KiKi congrats to you both! She sure does know how to keep em around for a lifetime huh!

Sometimes you Gotta See it to BELIEVE It! Mashonda puts Alicia and Swizz on Blast Cont.

We posted the audio for the Mashonda interview where she put her ex Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys on blast for having an affair! But that wasn't enough for the kid I need visuals! So I dug deeper and found some footage from the interview! Judging the look on her face she's more pissed than a male dog marking his territory! I ain't mad at cha Mashonda!

Ewww... Fantasia and Patti Labelle Kiss

Fantasia performed Lady Marmalade at the UNCF Evening of Stars event which aired last week! Apparently Fanny got caught up in the moment and planted one on Miss Patti! She did sing the mess out that song though, no denying that!

Kelly Drops Papa Knowles

For months there has been talk about Kelly Rowland dropping Matthew Knowles (a.k.a Beyonce's dad) as her manager, but it seems like it finally has happened. According to a close source Kelly fired Matthew after a big argument. It's also been rumored that Kelly is planning to replace Matthew with Simon Fuller who is behind Carrie Underwood, David Beckham, and several other celebs.

Well let me say it's about DAMN time, but I am pretty sure that with Fuller managing her she will finally get the attention she deserves. GOOD LUCK to her!!!

Jigga What???

No, your eyes ain't playing tricks on you that's definitely Aaliyah all up on Jay-Z. Now we all know that Aaliyah was dating Jay's former close friend/business partner Dame Dash at the time of her death, but now it's being said that Aaliyah was the reason behind Jay and Dame's beef. At least that's what a close source of both Jay and Dame are saying, read what he had to say below:

“Both Jay and Dame was involved with a certain R&B singer, who I’m not gonna say her name out of respect ’cause she ain’t around to defend herself, but I believe that was a part of the initial friction. I was seeing Jay with her back around 2000, then Dame… …was with her after. All you have to do is look at the movie they did, Death of a Dynasty. In the movie they were fighting over a model. In real life she was a model, but singing is what she was known for first.”

Why all this is coming out now I don't know, but it sure does make a lot of sense.

DIVA Status!!!

Looks like we have another DIVA in the making, and this time it's Rihanna. Eamonn Holmes, a popular TV personality in the UK has put Rih Rih on blast. Holmes stated that, "if she was your daughter, you'd give her a slap and tell her to wise up." This sounds a little drastic, but hey whatever works. Holmes also stated:

“I find the entourages that some people come with, especially the Americans, really pathetic."

“She (Rihanna) is surrounded by people who treat her like a little flower.”


In more Rihanna news, she was spotted in Mexico City for her upcoming concert.

I see she's rocking the solo look, it's about time she gave Chris some time alone.

Jezzy Let's O'Reilly know "What's Going On"

As you may remember Conservative dummy Bill O'Reilly was b*tching about rappers Jay-Z and Young Jezzy calling them "low class", because of their negative comments about former President George W. Bush. Now Jezzy has responded, and he definitely came hard.

Read what Jeezy told XXLMag.com below:

“Damn right! I ain’t never ran, nah mean?At the end of the day, you’re dealing with cats who think that we as young black men don’t know what it is we do. We entrepreneurs, we came from nothing. If you gotta mispronounce my name to try to be funny and you got a Harvard or whatever education you got, then you’re really showing how ignorant you are.”

“If you didn’t hear what the f*ck I said, it’s all good, but you didn’t hear all these people crying in New Orleans. You ain’t know bout the [Oscar] Grant kid that got killed in Oakland, you ain’t speaking on that. You ain’t talking about these ladies out here killing these babies, you worried about what I said.”

Man if that aint the truth!

Candids:17th Annual Trumpet Awards in ATL

These are Her Confessions...

I don't know if Lisa Raye was having a guilty conscience or just wanted to set the record straight, but she sure did have a lot to tell during her recent interview with Essence.com. From her childhood to her current divorce, she lets it ALL out.

Check out some of the things she had to say below:

ESSENCE.COM: Is it difficult to go through rough times publicly, especially with a spouse.

LISARAYE: Yes. There is a law in Turks and Caicos that you must remain married for three years before you begin any kind of divorce proceedings. If you want to get a divorce before that you have to be able to prove certain things that will grant you the right to do so.



ESSENCE.COM: What evidence did you provide that helped you in your case?

LISARAYE: I can’t be specific right now. I will say that there are things that happen within a marriage which can disrespect the union and actions can be taken against those things. As an actress, I have put myself out there as an independent Black woman, a single mom, a go-getter, a hustler who isn’t afraid to survive. If you get with a man who goes against who you are or what you believe in, people who know you begin to say, “Hey, that’s not the LisaRaye I know.” As his wife, my name has been associated with things that I have nothing to do with, and I have to fight to clear my name.



ESSENCE.COM: Do you think that you and your husband could have avoided such a public war?

LISARAYE: Honestly, I hoped our divorce could be amicable. I’m saying to him, “Let’s get it over with so we can move on with our lives. It’s not fair to keep me involved in all this mess that I know nothing about… I’m human and enough is enough.” I’m going through some things, but I’ve been quiet and haven’t spoken to my country. I was trying to bow out gracefully, but after a while the Southside [of Chicago] had to come forward and finally say, “Hold on! Wait a minute!”



ESSENCE.COM: Many balked at your whirlwind romance and marriage and accused you of being an opportunist. How do you feel about that assessment of your character?


LISARAYE: First of all, I’m a fan of love and partnership. I would say this to my critics: If a man comes to you there obviously has to be a connection. I had a man who’s smart and powerful and who I fell in love with. He’s embracing my family. Add the fact that I have an opportunity to bring tourism to his country and be involved in something historical. Who in the hell would say no? But what scared me was the idea of being First Lady?



ESSENCE.COM: Bloggers have often said that you’re too “ghetto” to be a First Lady. How does that make you feel?


LISARAYE: I am not and never grew up in the ghetto. People need to get it right. I grew up on the Southside of Chicago. What people don’t realize is that my father was a multimillionaire who owned 12 hotels, motels, a steel mill, a radio station, a club, nursing home, and a law office. So I think it’s safe to say I’m a little above middle class and I’m a daddy’s girl. I make no apologies for loving the finer things in life or the men I choose to date. I don’t feel bad about the person I am. Now, I do have an edge, rawness and realness, and I can tell you I’m going to keep that. I’m one of those women who’s not to be messed with. I’m very opinionated and boisterous at times. I’m also kind and humble. I know when to fold and when to hold and that’s important. If my edge scares you, then you have a choice to remove yourself. Other than that, I’m very approachable, and when people meet me they always say, “You are so down to earth and nothing like I thought you were.”


I don't mean to sound like a hater, but what's with all these celebs claiming to have always been rich??? At first it was Beyonce and now her, WTF.

Candids of Kelly Rowland

At first I wasn't going to post these pics but I figured since there's been blogs on Beyonce and Letoya why not go ahead and put Ms. Kelly up here. It's kind of like a mini reunion, now all we need is Michelle and Latavia. Anyways, Kelly was spotted this past weekend on the beach down in the MIA.

Umm...What ya doing Kelly???
