Not sure when the video comes out, but I stumbled on this when I was searching for it. I was told that it recently premiered on Yahoo! Music or something, but instead, I think they were talking about this particular live performance, which is very good, I might add! Rihanna’s really improved on her live performances. Singing lessons, maybe? I just know that back in the day, hearing her live used to make me cringe. No lie! LOL. Check out the performance above…
We haven’t had one of these in the while! A developer and I are working on something really dope for this feature, so within the next couple of weeks … be on the look-out for it! Anyhow, what celebrity couple is pictured here? HINT: We’ve featured them on the site on numerous occasions! Give up? Click below to find out! CONTINUE READING
I just couldn’t bring myself to watch the Emmy’s last night, despite the rumors of Kanye West performing. I figured, “Hey! This is the age of YOUTUBE! It’ll end up on the net within a few hours.” And guess what, it did! Although home boy didn’t perform, he, Wayne Brady, and Rainn Wilson participated in a little skit based off of Wayne’s new show, “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.” Funny shit! Check it out. This was probably the highlight of the entire show, haha!
Since I’m SUCH a nice person, I thought I’d round up some posts from last week that I missed out on posting, so you won’t feel all left out and detached from the gossip world.
JUANITA BYNUM FILES FOR DIVORCE »
I’m sure you guys remember the JUANITA BYNUM STORY we posted about a couple of weeks ago. The well-known televangelist has apparently filed for divorce!
I’m not crying just because I was kicked or I was choked. There’s more to it than that for me. I know that scars heal, but I lost somebody that I loved very much. I know people go through this saying ‘I loved him.’ No, I love him … My love for Bishop Weeks I don’t think will ever die. I said this to someone yesterday, my love for him, separating what I experienced in that parking lot, I have enough love. It’s so much until I THINK I CAN MARRY HIM TWICE, but this one is over.
And that’s not all! Apparently last month’s assault wasn’t the first physical altercation between the two. CLICK HERE for more on that! CONTINUE READING
Another reality show is on the horizon! The Salt-N-Pepa Show premieres Monday, October 15 at 10 PM EST on VH1. Check your local listings for more details. Reality shows are starting to wear thin on me, but I might have to check this one out! Pepa is a trip! I loved her on the Surreal Life.
SANDRA ROSE recently had the chance to speak with Sarah Chapman, the mother of Diddy’s first daughter, who turned one a couple of months ago. So that makes baby number 5, right? Correct me if I’m wrong. Home boy has too many damn kids to not be married or in some sort of serious relationship. Mama combs must be proud =) Click the link above to check out the exclusive interview in its entirety.
If you need to be caught up to speed on what’s going on between Sarah and Kim Porter, visit THIS LINK. Kim apparently had some stuff to say about Sarah, calling her the “other woman.” Last time I checked, for the past few years Kim Porter hasn’t been anything more than the “other woman” herself, lol. Ho sit down…
Oh yeah, one more thing … Diddy sure does know how to pick ‘em! This one’s a looker! Too bad all he does is use them and abuse them.
FOXY BROWN AT A PRESS CONFERENCE BACK IN FEBRUARY // PHOTO BY BRYAN BEDDER FOR GETTY IMAGES
TMZ recently proved Foxy Brown to be a bold-faced liar! Even though her lawyer announced news of her pregnancy in open court last month, Foxy Brown’s manager recently made the following statement:
And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant.
Well, if that’s the case … someone needs to let Foxy know!!
Beyonce caught a case of the butt-kissies in a recent interview with LATINA MAGAZINE. For those of you who are not in the know, she has an all-new Spanish EP out, entitled Irreemplazable, and she recently sat down to talk with Latina Magazine about it, among other things. Here’s a snippet of the interview.
Latina: How did you learn to sing in Spanish?
Beyonce: I only took classes for a few years in middle school, when you learn to say things like, “Where’s the bathroom?” But, even that helped me with my pronunciation when I got in the studio. I still get a little nervous when I have to do it live, but I’m getting pretty good at it, especially when it has a melody attached to it. I take a lot of time and focus because I want to do it right. I go through everything with Rudy Perez who rewrote my songs in Spanish–he is so incredible and he completely gets it. So I don’t have to correct anything because he’s right on it all the time. Then I learn each line phonetically, how I would say it. It’s hard–my songs are hard enough to sing in English!
…
Latina: What’s one thing that you’d like to tell your Latina fans?
Beyonce: I would thank them for embracing me. I did radio (promotions) this morning for hours and hours and I noticed a big difference between speaking to all of the Latino stations and speaking to the pop stations or the other stations. With the Latino stations, there was so much love and everyone is so genuine. I’M JUST JEALOUS THAT I WASN’T BORN LATINA. I WISH I HAD BEEN BECAUSE THE CULTURE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I’m very grateful Latinos are embracing me.
Wow, I wonder if she REALLY said that or if they just flip-flopped her words. Anyhow, sometimes she should just do what she was meant to do … and that’s sit there and look cute. With her fine ass…
On Friday, TMZ broke a story involving O.J. “if I DID IT” Simpson and 4 men, who had apparently broken into a Las Vegas hotel and robbed a guy at gun point. Alfred Beardsley, a memorabilia dealer, had secured various items once owned by Simpson. Beardsley tells TMZ he had arranged to meet with someone last night who was interested in buying a suit and other Simpson memorabilia. Beardsley says the man was actually a member of Simpson’s crew. He says the men stormed the room, two of them had guns drawn.
Then later in the day, TMZ cleared everything up saying that it wasn’t him. We’ve all heard that story! Haha… He told The Associated Press that a sports memorabilia dealer called him up a few weeks ago to say some collectors “have a lot of your stuff and they don’t want anyone to know they are selling it.” Simpson, who says he’s in Vegas for a friend’s wedding, said he arranged to meet the dealer at the Palace Station hotel and conducted a sting operation. “Everybody knows this is stolen stuff,” Simpson told the wire service. “Not only wasn’t there a break-in, but [the dealer] came to the lobby and escorted us up to the room. In any event, it’s stolen stuff that’s mine. Nobody was roughed up.”
Now, today, September 16, 2007, the same site, TMZ of course has an update on the situation! If you check our their site right this second, you’ll see that their whole ENTIRE front page (15 posts) is dedicated to the O.J. Simpson story. No lie! Anyhow, he was arrested in Vegas earlier today (around 1 PM EST), and according to CNN, he is likely to be charged on three counts.
We’ll keep you posted!! Oh, by the way … I apologize for the dry spell last week. My offline life has been beyond hectic. But I’m back … for good. We’re going to be updating so much this week, it’s going to be hard to keep up haha. Just watch ;-)
Wooo, we finally got the Vibe and GQ scans thanks to DEVIN, WHITNEY & DOMINIQUE!!! You can view/read all of the scans in its entirety, GQ is after the cut, and before ya’ll CB haters say anything silly - getcha mind right - GQ is a HIGH fashion magazine!
Keyshia Cole returns with her sophomore project, Just Like You, in stores September 25 The album will include the smash “Let It Go” featuring Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott and the Darkchild-produced single “Shoulda Let You Go”.
It has definitely been a while since that real genuine R&B feel, like with Cole’s 2005 debut The Way It Is, I still bump that album every now and then. It was one of those records that you really got into, relatively. And I think that’s the case with Just Like You, as I always say, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. I think everything happens for a reason, I’m a firm believe of that, like people are just destined to do what they do. Again, the case with Keyshia. Her talent is just incredible, effortlessly. Some how she keeps me running back, eager to hear new material and growth — this album is just that! Smooth, overflowing ballads, adjacent to vocals, drifting throughout the whole LP; some old school Mary J. Blige mixed with Anthony Hamilton — matter of fact he was featured on this lovely song called “Loosing You”. I have no idea why they added Diddy’s but on here, with “Last Night” like it’s all new, but then again that was a pretty hot joint too! I don’t know what it is but I never get tired of that song, even the remix and that’s very rare with Diddy’s remixes <_<
