• Singer/Actress Michelle Williams looked FAB on the red carpet last night for the Clarins Million Meals Concert for FEED  in NYC. Michelle rocked a black skirt and two toned shirt with killer shoes as usual. Michelle played double duty while hosting and also performing.

    Also in attendance was singer John Legend who has been busy with the ABC singing competition 'Duets'. The singer rocked a grey suit while posing with Chrissy Teigen.

    Peep the pics below.






  • Can someone tell Sweet Brown to have a seat because I am starting to get annoyed with him throwing all of this material out at once? Brown released another track entitled 'Countdown'; another slow jam. I was digging Chris's new song but they are starting to sound really repetitive.

    Will someone tell Breezy to swallow some nuts because it still sounds like he hasn't hit puberty? I'm still buying the album tho.

    What do you think about the track?

     


  • Rihanna loves nudity. The 'Rude Boy' singer poses with her chest out for the July edition of Esquire UK while rocking her blonde do'. What has been going on with this girl lately? From smoking marijuana to bearing her tits everywhere, this isn't the same innocent girl that use to pon de replay.

    Are you feeling this good girl gone bad?





  • Mogul Tyler Perry took to his Facebook account to blast rumors that the daughter of the late Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, stormed off the set of his scripted series 'For Better Or Worse'. Reports surfaced earlier this week that Bobbi stormed off angry and quit the show.

    Perry says:

    LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE AND STOP THE LIES PLEASE!!!

    I woke up this morning to my publicist calling me saying that there were reports that Bobbi Kristina walked off the set of "For Better Or Worse". NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the set because we have finshed taping the season.

    After Whitney's funeral, Krissi and I spent a long time talking about her goals and dreams. She said she wanted to act. That’s when I decided to write her into "For Better Or Worse". I thought that there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my mother's death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and privacy of people that care.

    Were there tough days for her? Yes of course. Not because of the actng or any job-related issues but because of the fact that she had just lost her mother. And being someone who knows about losing their mother, I know grief comes in different ways and you never know when it's going to hit you or how it's going to hit you, for that matter. Some days you're smiling and happy and some days you’re so broken that you can't stop crying. So yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time.

    So please... PLEASE LEAVE THIS BABY ALONE!!!! AND SHE IS A BABY!!! Please stop the lies and give this child some room to breathe and grieve.

    IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD WOULND’T YOU WANT THAT?

    -Tyler



    Is it me or does casting Bobbi K in his show seem a little opportunistic of Tyler?

  • Kelly Rowland is all smiles on the June cover of VEGAS Magazine. I am absolutely loving the hair in the shoot which I believe was styled by celebrity hairstylist Kim Kimble on her WETv reality show.

    Can't wait to see this 'intimate performance' that they reference on the cover.

    Are you digging Kelly's hair?




  • Ciara recently visited MTV with the cast of her new movie That's My Boy. While Ciara was promoting her new movie she was asked about future endeavors. Ciara announced that her new album will be entitled 'One Woman Army'. I actually love the title for the album. I do know that she also has a song with the working title on the album also.

    The song 'One Woman Army' is written by Ali Tamposi (Kelly Clarkston's Stronger). One Woman Army is said to be a song of angst, edge and female empowerment. It is said to be about a strong independent woman who is looking for a soldier, fighter and strong man to be by her side. If you can't be those things for her than you will have to exit her life.

    The first official single to drop from One Woman Army is 'Sweat'. Now I don't know the details about the song just yet but from the title I got two things that come to mind. Either a very fast dance track or a very sexual song talking about sweating it out.  Ciara has stated that 'Sweat' will be released any day now. In my opinion, I think it's going to drop Friday or sometime this weekend but no later than Monday. I guess we will see in due time.

    Are you ready for Ciara's 'EPIC' return?


  • Are we ready for another VH1 ring match? VH1s hit reality series Love & Hip - Hop returns next month with a little twist. The crew packed up and headed down south to Atlanta with an entirely new cast which included my favorite Rasheeda. If you missed the introduction to the cast click here.

    Ch. Miss K. Michelle decided to block me on Twitter so I'm assuming that she read my other post where I mentioned that I didn't live for her and hope that she doesn't spend the entire season bashing her ex- Memphitz (who is now married to Lil-Wayne's baby mama Toya Wright).

    Catch the clip below. Will you be tuning in?


  • Actor DB Woodside stopped by Atlanta's V-103 a few moments ago to chat with midday personality Egypt about the new season of VH1s Single Ladies. Many of you may recognize this piece of chocolate from playing Lisa Raye's love interest Malcolm on the show.

    DB didn't hold back when asked about the departure of actress Stacey Dash from the show. Without hesitation Woodside said that he is 'absolutely glad that Stacey is no longer on the show'. He went on to say that there is less tension and drama on the set with her being gone. DB also stated that Stacey is an 'absolutely horrible person to work with'.

    I guess the rumors were true about their being an altercation between Lisa/Stacey on the set being that Woodside proclaimed that he is #TeamLisa when pressured about what went down on the set. He went on to say that the cast loves newcomer Denise Vasi but that it took some time to get adjusted too.

    Being the gentleman that he is, DB Woodside wished Stacey nothing but the best on her future projects.

  • It didn't come as a surprise yesterday at BET 106 & Park host Terrence and Rocsi announced their departure from the music countdown show after weeks of speculation. However, I was surprised when Terrence said that they decided to do it jointly. Was Rocsi scared to continue on her own.

    I never thought that Rocsi should have ever been a host on the show. Her personality was a little dry and she always seemed timid.

    Peep the announcement below.

     


  • I am not buying Tami Roman's fake tears no more than I am buying those micro braids that she is trying to pull off as a good weave. The reality star stopped by the Wendell Wendy Williams Show yesterday to discuss her horrible actions on this past season of Basketball Wives which she says she regrets.

    These ladies continue to yell that they are a work in progress even though they are 4 seasons in to the show. Tami claims she didn't respect the platform that the producers gave them by putting them on the show however she will in the future.

    Tami also confirmed that there will be another season of VH1s Basketball Wives.

     


  • I guess we weren't the only ones excited about Beyonce's return to the stage. Former bandmate Kelly Rowland chatted about the singers concert at Atlantic City while in the UK yesterday at the Glamour Awards. Kelly declared that no performer has any excuse to not give it their all if Beyonce can return not even six month's since giving birth.

    Kelly looked gorgeous however I am not feeling this hair.



  • The storm is finally over. I don't have much to say about the season finale of VH1s Basketball Wives. Tami definitely needs to play by her own rules. If you are going to sit behind someone's back and talk down about them, why get mad when they do it to you?

    Shaunie O'Neal knows that she is not done with this show. I really believe the meeting with her pastor at the end was a ploy to see if anyone would rally and plea for the shows return when in all reality Tami Roman revealed on the Wendy Williams show yesterday that they would indeed be back for a fifth season.

    Suzie, please explain you're existence. Do you not realize that the girls are using you to see what is being said about them on the other side? Just dumb.

    Jennifer I applaud you for not digging into the bull crap.

    Musical contributions that appear on the Fortune album are Wiz Khalifah, Big Sean, Nas and his artist which are signed to his label CBE Se7en and Kevin McCall.

  • Hip Hop legends Jay Z & Kanye West throw us the visual for the third single off of Watch The Throne. 'No Church In The Wild' was directed by Romain Gavras and shot in Prague. Although neither of the rappers or Frank appear in the video it was very intriguing.

    The video gives a riot feel. Citizens running around town setting things on fire, flipping cars and fighting the police. The people want justice for something in the video chile I just don't know what it is though. *Kanye shrug*.  The video was very much apocalyptic. The imagery was well shot and executed correctly.

    Feast your eyes on the amazing visual that is 'No Church In The Wild' below.


  • Yawn. I'm sorry I just don't see it for Tank. His attitude needs to get well soon. However, you guys can enjoy his video 'Compliments' featuring T.I and Kris Stephens.

    Low budget much? The good thing about it is that the KANG is in it.

    Peep the visuals below.


  • PBB (Philly Boss Bish) Kalenna serves up the swagtastic visual 'Put It In A Bag' from her mixtape Chamber of Dairies.  The video features rapper B Slimm and was shot in Geneva, Switzerland in a sleek mansion.

    I really like Kalenna although she might not be the prettiest thing to look at. I am definitely a lover of her music. I might get some side eyes for what I'm about to say but, I prefer Kalenna over Dawn any day. I just think Kalenna is more out of the box.  It sometimes seem as if Dawn tries to hard to be hood and out of the box however for Kalenna it just looks effortless.

    Kalenna throws some bars with a long blonde ponytail and big white eye lashes. She wants you to know her money is long like Eddie Long and life is good.  If you don't have her mixtape you NEED to download it. IT'S THE BIZNEZZ! I need a video for Pain and Alcohol and 6000 sistas so my life will be  complete!

    Listen up and pay attention below.




  • R&B heart throb J. Holiday offers up his first single 'Sign My Name' off of his Def Jam debut. J has been gone for a minute and even I started wondering where the hell he was. But now he's back with some more baby making music for the lovers out there.

    I actually like J. Holiday he's very mellow to me. I really appreciate his voice and I believe that he's overlooked as an artist. This guy definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I like that J. Holiday sings without doing all those runs like some of those other male singers (who will remain nameless).

    'Sign My Name' reminds me of some 90's sex music. J tells the girl how his tongue is going to be the pen on her body and that she can make his tongue write whatever where ever.  "You gone think I'm writing in cursive".

     Listen to 'Sign My Name' below and enjoy.


  • Allegedly it has been said that RHOA star Phaedra "High Class" Parks has separated from her husband Apollo Nija. Word on the street is that Apollo has moved out of Phaedra's mini mansion into a luxury apartment in Atlanta off 85 (I'll keep the exit to myself for all you ATL readers).

    Apollo was seen moving in on the fourth floor of the luxury apartment leaving people to wonder if there is trouble in paradise between the two. It was reported that the recent allegations said about Phaedra being a crook had something to do with it. But it was also said that this ploy could be for the show to draw in ratings. The women are filming Season 5 of RHOA now as we speak.

    I hope this tea is not true because I liked the two together. Lawd knows that Apollo is FINE BOOTZ!

    But here's where the REAL tea starts brewing. A certain beautiful female recently came out on twitter and said that she indeed did meet Apollo at this apartment complex and he does stay there. She also said that he tried to pursue her telling her his name was Troy and he was a stock broker. Hmmmm. I could have sworn his career was Asset Recovery but now you're a stock broker?

    I really don't know what's going on with Apollo, Troy or whoever he is but something is fishy with these characters on RHOA. There are so many allegations about Phaedra, Apollo and Marlo's past records; in addition to NeNe and her divorce scandal. *SIGH*

    Speaking of Marlo I asked her the other day was she returning back to RHOA for Season 5. Her reply was "I'm still trying to decide if I want to". I took it as a no seeing that they are already filming and you still trying to decide. To me that means your a*s ain't on there. But I guess we will see in due time.

    Also I ran into NeNe and Greg together who spend a lot of time together to be divorced. I kind of believe those allegations about them only getting a divorce because of Greg's debt and to save NeNe's money. Who knows?

    Will you be watching Season 5 of Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta?


  • Kelly Rowland jetted to the UK immediately following fellow bandmate Beyonce's concert this weekend to attend the 2012 Glamour Awards. You may recall that Kelly was named Glamour's Best Dressed of 2012. Kelly rocked an all black gown on her very tiny figure.

    I don't know how I feel about this long, straight hair on Kelly.

    Peep the more pictures below.



  • Actress Gabrielle Union served every bit of sexy during the holiday weekend while in Miami. The sexy piece of chocolate grabbed her bikini and cowgirl hat for a little fun in the sun with her crew. I wonder what Dwayne Wade has to say about this nakedness?

    Why haven't we seen Gabby in any movies lately? These women get a man with a little coin and forget about their own dreams and passion.

    Peep the pics below.








  • Vibe Magazine decided to give us a behind-the-scenes look at how the photoshoot for their 'role model' edition went. The sad part about the issue is that the only one that could really be considered a role model is Kandi Burruss from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. What have the other ladies done other than fight and make a fool of themselves?

    Catch the shoot below.

     

  • There is no denying that season 4 of VH1s Basketball Wives has been a very aggravating one for castmate Jennifer Williams who has received constant harassment all season from former BFF Evelyn Lozada. Jennifer took to her blog after last nights airing of the finale to say the following about the likes of Tami Roman and Shaunie O'Neal who claim to still be her friends but talk smack behind her back.

    Jen says:

    In relation to the Basketball Wives cast, I feel some of the ladies who claimed to be my friend and claimed to be neutral made snide and slick remarks along with snickering about me.  This proved to me that they indeed were not at all neutral.  


    Jennifer also hinted to the fact that she may not be returning for another season of the show with the closing of the blog saying: 



    Even though this has been a trying season, I hope at some point my cast mates can get along and be civil with one another. I will always appreciate Basketball Wives Season 4 and this time in my life for the abundant lessons learned and personal growth I was forced to face. We all have our own individual imperfections, but I also believe we all have a good heart.  As women of color it is important we uplift and support one another.  I wish all my cast mates continued success and best wishes with their future endeavors.

    Thank you to all my family and friends and loyal supporters for all the love during this trying season. Please continue to support me and my current (www.lucidcosmetics.com) and future business ventures.

  • I don't see it for Young Money's singer Shanell. The younger sibling of singer D.Wood's has finally released the video for her current single 'So Good' after months of waiting. Shanell comes off as a watered down version of singer Teairra Marie with little to no talent.

    If you are a new artist trying to introduce yourself to the world, why would you overshadow your performance with two of the biggest artist in the industry?

    Peep the visuals below.



  • Another Justin Bieber song that I like? The angry little bird who attacked paparazzi over the weekend has released another single in the form of 'Die In Your Arms'. I honestly think the song was written for a female hence the lyrics 'every time you touch me I just die in your arms'. Ch.

    The song is produced by Rodney Jerkins wil be featured on Justin's new album 'Believe' out June 19th.

    Peep the track below. What do you think?

     

  • I told you guys that I had your back this season when it came to the second season of VH1s Single Ladies. For those of you that missed the show last night you can catch it below.

    Read my first journal for this season here.



  • I'm sure I don't speak for myself when I say that I was definitely skeptical about the return of VH1s hit scripted series Single Ladies this season when it was announced that Stacy Dash wouldn't return to reprise her role as Val. How could the series not return with one the most valuable player from the team?

    From the previews that had aired I had already determined that the network wouldn't literally replace her, instead they invited a new character into the script known as Raquell. Long story short, Val apparently skipped across the pond to escape her man troubles and what not and plans on not returning to Atlanta because her life hasn't been nothing but a mess lately. I have determined one or two things from the way that they decided to play out Val's exit. Either Val will make a special appearance towards the end of this season or next, or they plan on writing out her love interest Jerry by saying that he moved overseas to be with her. I concluded the part about Jerry from the beginning when Keisha and April kept trying to convince him that Val made a big mistake.

    Nonetheless, the writers of the show decided to waste no time introducing the new character Raquell. Raquell's man troubles come right out at the beginning when she catches her man freaking a chick in her hotel room at an event honoring him. Like how stupid can you be to freak some chick in the same building that your fiancee is in when you know she has a key to HER room? To add fuel to the fire, Raquell is having problems with her job. Damn VH1, can we at least get to experience this chick at her high before you throw her under a bus driven by Precious? blah. blah. blah. Skipping to the end, Raquell's ex-fiancee tries to persuade her that he made a mistake at which one point I thought she would be stupid enough to fall for. Raquell, why would you even take the ride with homeboy when you knew he was NO good.

    Moving on to Keisha. Keisha is definitely the character that a lot of 'black women' could relate too. I know faaaar to many women that would take the 'ride or die' road for their men when he is in trouble. Keisha is living the life while her boo Malcolm is still on the hideout from the FBI for his fraud. Like why would Keisha go visit him for dinner when she knows that the people are watching her every move. Fast forward, Keisha gets arrested and is threatened jail time if she doesn't rat on Malcolm's whereabouts. Keisha's dumbass decides that love is more important and is willing to risk jail-time for the $200,000 in back taxes she owe since they can't lock her up for ratting on her boo. Keisha, were you really putting all of those coins he gave you into your bank account? I thought she was a pro. In the end, Malcolm shows up at the jailhouse just as Keisha was about to dig a bigger hole for herself. Or did Keisha dig a bigger hole for herself when it was revealed to Malcolm that her lawyer is her ex. I can already tell that Keisha's ex is going to be big trouble for her. If she was so far moved on then why would she make the comment on how they could have 'had kids by now and been happily married'? Is Keisha with Malcolm for a little coin or does she really love him? I am still lost.

    And April. Girl, you are so lost right now. First you turn down a great paying position, and now you can't keep a man. Not much too say about you other than to get it together girl.

    Let me know your thoughts below. Would you take the bullet for your man like Keisha did? Should Raquell have given his boo another chance?

  • Girl. I wish Evelyn Lozada would stop with the fake dramatics that she gives with this constant crying. The reality star said that she would take back the bottle throwing incident if she could while taping the reunion for VH1s Basketball Wives.

    I honestly believe this regret is a ploy to get Kenya on her side since she knows that she is cool with Jen. Come on, did you guys not see how calm and scared Evelyn was at the table when Kenya got to Tahiti?

    I hope this show gets cancelled. Shame.



  • If the only time that you can release a song to expect a hit is in the Summer then I cannot ride for you. Rapper Trina continues in her tradition of throwing out a single just in time for the the heat with no intentions of releasing an album. The 'Long Heels, Red Bottom' rapper returns with 'I'm Back', a mid tempo club banger.

    The smart thing for Trina would have been to release this track after her stint on June Ambrose's VH1 series 'Styled By June'.
     

  • Every now and then there comes an artist who is heavenly inspired by someone or something. Well this is another case of that. It's like Lil Kim vs. Nicki Minaj, Mary J Blige vs. Keyshia Cole and hence here Madonna vs. Lady Gaga. Some females in the game are influenced by artist they look up to and that's ok to a certain point.

    It has came to the point where it's a thin line between being influenced and just plain ole copying. Most younger audience don't know that Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and other artist sometimes copy because those people are all they know. They don't know about what Madonna, Lil Kim or artist before them did as far as sounds, pics, looks etc.

    Madonna has shown over and over again that she doesn't like to be copied or mimicked. In my opinion, what Madonna needs to understand is that when you are an artist of her caliber it's going to happen. There's just no way around that. Lady Gaga has done many things close to what Madonna has done as far as looks (as you can see some above), videos, dance moves and etc.

    Well someone told Madonna that it would be a cute idea if she remixes Born This Way with Express Yourself on tour. But in my opinion it's childish and not cute at all. Madonna is an ICON and a F**KING LEGEND! She does not need to feel like she needs to put someone on blast or fight back and forth through the media to show she's being mimicked.  WE ALL CAN SEE THAT!

    I am starting to believe Madonna is bitter because Gaga has came along and doing what she did years ago BETTER! Gaga's whole image is loosely based off of Madonna. Born This Way does have the same melodies as Express Yourself.

    Watch the footage below.


  • Azealia Banks offers us her latest joint entitled 'Van Vogue' lifted from her '1991' EP. I am really starting to love this young girl. I see that she is trying to expand herself not only in just hip hop but dance music also. The beat is more along the lines of techno dance but her lyrical content is straight hip-hop.

    I like that she raps real hard over this vogue type beat. The main thing I'm appreciating about Azealia is that she is not trying to be like any other rap chick. Azealia's just doing Azealia and I absolutely appreciate that. Sadly, when a rap female comes out I sit and try to think who she's trying to copy. But for Azealia I can't think of anyone because she's different and that's a GREAT thing.

    Get into 'Van Vogue' below. [Source]



  • I bet the BeyHive is fuming mad in nectar after reality star Kim Kardashian tweeted pictures of herself backstage at Beyonce's Revel concert in Atlantic City last night. Kim posed with one of Bey's dancers and band members. Most of the BeyHive aren't fond of 'motha' hanging with the reality star who is dating her husbands BFF Kanye West.

    Someone from Kim's camp tweeted that they had just walked thru Bey's dressing room and it was 'no biggie'. Girl.

    How do you feel? Is Kim on a mission?


  • Singer Rihanna and rapper Drake were spotted clubbing together at Club LIV in Miami last night. Why does Rihanna always look wasted these days? Rihanna was also spotted on French Montana's video set with Drake.

    Are these two an item again? Girl.





  • What's in the new chicken wraps? Apparently it is the leaked video for singer Mary J. Blige's 'Don't Mind'. For those of you that did not know, this is the original song that Burger King sampled for their commercial which starred the 70 year old singer. I have been bumping this song for months and MJB released a nice video for it just in time for the Summer.

    I guess Mary's team got the memo from my site that her other videos were looking a little cheap which is why they stepped production up on the last few.


  • One of my newest favorite rappers has released teasers of her debut album '1991' which will come to light in a few weeks. The 'Jumanji' rapper gives of a taste of the four track EP which haves a very pop/dance vibe. I'm not understanding why Azealia's team decided to throw out this short EP when her mix tape 'Fantastic' will drop on July 4th.

    If Azealia fixed her attitude a little more then I would definitely be her #1 fan.

    Download '1991' digitally on May 29th.
