MC Hammer Disses Jay-Z In New "Better Run Run" Video

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 07:21 AM PDT

  

MC Hammer tweeted earlier that he believes Jay-Z worships the Devil and would expose him on Halloween night. We've got Hammer's 'expose' video when you go inside...

 

The 'beef' started when Jay-Z poked fun at Hammer saying, "And Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused / I lost $30 Mill so I spent another $30 'cause unlike Hammer $30 Mill can't hurt me" on Kanye's track "'So Appalled.'"

MC Hammer responded by tweeting, "The answer to Jay comes on Oct 31 (Devils Nite)...I saw him coming...#kinghammer.."

 

Here's the video:

 

He's "shedding light" on Jay's alleged affiliation with the Illuminati that Jay has shot down rumors about several times.  I'm sure Jay really got offended by that. *sigh* 

Thoughts?

Celebs Hit Heidi Klum & Seal's Annual Halloween Bash!

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 06:18 AM PDT

Ashanti, Jessica White, Ice-T and Coco, John Legend & Christine, and others all rolled to Lavo in NYC for Heidi Klum and Seal's annual Halloween bash last night.

 

We've got the sexy...and scary...pics when you read on...

 

While you were donning your sexilicious Halloween gear last night, Heidi Klum had the best costume ever.  She was a fully functional Transformer--who probably scared the kids when she walked into the room looking like a giant.  And her hubby Seal was a robot.  These two stay getting uber creative for the holiday.

 

Ashanti was sa sexy cheetah with a dominatrix edge. 


And it worked.

 

Model Jessica White looked like her veryday self honestly.  Or was she a "night cop"?  Still hot though.

John Legend and Christine tapped into their Cleopatra and Marc Antony selves for their costumes.

Cute.

Ice-T and Coco were surprisingly more subdued their their normal everyday gear.  They played the mad doctor and the red nurse roles.

LOL.

Questlove DJ'd and let us know THIS was his costume.  Kinda thought he was dressed as Lebron James...but nevermind.

Russell Simmons kicked it with Quest and Lil Red Riding Kim.

And he did his usual and dressed as his brother Run.  How sweet.

ON THE SET: Ginuwine & Malinda Williams Shoot The "What Could Have Been" Video

Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:39 AM PDT

R&B Singer Ginuwine was spotted on the set filming the video for his latest single "What Could Have Been" starring Malinda Williams.  Pics from on the set inside....

 

 

Ginuwine, who seems to be aging like a fine glass of merlot, will release the video for his new single “What Could Have Been” to major online and video outlets on November 8th. The video stars Ginuwine and his love interest Phoenix, played by Malinda Williams, as a couple who have separated and Malinda's character is now set to wed, but Ginuwine finds out and is determined to stop the ceremony.

If they ever give out Grammys for best facial expressions in a music video...the raw emotion of this pic can't be denied. 

Wonder if this wedding scene drudged up memories for her...

Then in comes Ginuwine...the face of the extras sitting in the pews are just that....EXTRA.

Can't wait to see the video. 

The song comes from Ginuwine's 7th album ELGIN hitting shelves in Feburary 2011.

YBF chicks Vanessa Simmons and Teyana Taylor have some new photoshoots out.  Vanessa's got fab pics from her professional model portfolio, while Teyana Taylor has new flicks from her promo photoshoot for her upcoming movies.

 

Check 'em when you read on...

Now that Vanessa has taken on professional modeling, here's a few "Good VS. Bad" themed pics she's adding to her portfolio.  She did an editorial session with Creative Director Christopher Mannor. And the shoot was inspired by classic American fashions from the late 80's and early 90's during the era of the Supermodel.

Gorgeous pics.  Lookin' fab 'Nessa!

 

 

And Teyana Taylor recently did a shoot with photographer Allen Cooly.  She's getting her self-promo shots in for her new movie Stomp The Yard 2 and she also just filmed a role for Tyler Perry's upcoming Madea's Big Happy Family.

She's also still doing the music thing and has a new rockband called "UGLY"--Underneath Greatness Lies You. They're releasing a single titled "Wasted" soon, and her album is set to be released early 2011 under Star Trak/Interscope.

 

Loves the hair.  Cute pics.

AVATAR RUN IT: Kim Porter VS. Rocsi

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 11:30 AM PDT

 

Both Kim Porter and Rocsi channeled their inner....and outer...Avatar for their Halloween costumes this year.  Decide who rocked it best when you read on....

Diddy's baby moms Kim Porter and "106 & park" host Rocsi Diaz donned their blue skin tight stripes and braids for their Avatar costumes.  Rocsi wore hers on the "106" Halloween show Friday with bluish purple tights underneath and a face full of blue makeup and blue pumps. 

But Kim did hers up with light blue shooties at Paris Hilton's Halloween party last night.  And both ladies worked out their frontal pouches and tails differently.  So...

 

WHO RAN IT?!

Rihanna Hits "SNL" With Shy Ronnie, "Only Girl", & "What's My Name" Performances

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 10:36 AM PDT

Rihanna made another guest appearance on "SNL" last night. We've got her Shy Ronnie skit, and her two performaces of "Only Girl" and "What's My Name" when you read on...

Rih reprised her Shy Ronnie skit with a bank robbery twist this time around.  This ish was mad funny to me and I don't even know why.  "Uh oh....boner alert."

 

 

Rih hit the stage to perform "Only Girl". And it sounded more off key than a little bit. Live performances ain't for everybody.

She also performed "What's My Name". "Oh na naaah...."

Sherri Shepherd & Niecy Nash Celebrate Halloween+Erykah Badu And Rick Ross Hit The Stage In D.C.

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 10:00 AM PDT

Niecy Nash and Sherri Shepherd were among the YBF celebs who attended the 17th Annual Dream Halloween CAAF Benefit.  And in Washington, D.C., Erykah Badu and Rick Ross hit the stage for Heineken Inspire.  Pics from both events inside...

 

 

The 17th Annual Dream Halloween CAAF Benefit was held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA  yesterday.  

Niecy arrived on the arms of her fiance Jay Tucker.

 

And she flashed the ring as usual.  Nice.

Sherri Shepherd must have seen a ghost when she walked in.

I'm not too sure what Sherri's costume was...or what her guest was wearing either.

Garcelle Beauvais arrived earlier as a pirate.

And she brought along a few guests...including her sons Jax and Jaid.

 


 

Niecy Nash posed with Tori Spelling and Lisa Rinna.
 

 

In Washington D.C., Erykah Badu and friends hit Love Nightclub's stage for Heineken Inspire.

Erykah performed with Ricky Ross.  Loves their "Window Seat" remix.

Rick Ross was among the performers to grace the stage.

Malice and Pusha T (The Clipse) were in the house too, and they also performed.

 

Wale was there.

Erykah closed out the event with a few of her hits.
