WHO'S MY MAMA?!

Posted: 04 Dec 2010 07:41 AM PST

This little bundled up cutie patootie was spotted at D.C.'s National Airport yesterday.  He's traveling with his celebrity mom.  Can you guess who's his mama?

 

The answer when you read on...

It's YBF chick Jennifer Hudson of course.  The svelte J-Hud took Baby David, Jr. to Washington D.C. with her as she's in the nation's capital for the Kennedy Center Honors where Oprah is being honored Sunday night.  Jennifer is performing for the event.  And being the super mom that she is, she's pulling double duty while traveling.

Baby David's getting so big!

Jenny rocked out to her Beats by Dre headphones while walking through the airport.

And even stopped to snap pics with fans.

She's looking good and happy these days.  Good luck Jenny!

Halle's Boyfriend Olivier Physically Attacks Paparazzo To Protect Halle?!

Posted: 04 Dec 2010 06:54 AM PST

Drama at Mirabelle's!  Halle B. and her booski Olivier Martinez hit up Mirabelle restaurant in L.A. for lunch Friday.  And, after arriving in separate cars, the two had a run in with the paparazzi on the scene.  And Olivier had to hold it down for his woman.

 

Pics of Olivier scuffling a pap to the ground, and Halle having to be escorted out of the restaurant by the owner, when you read on...

 

Halle started out her lunch date with Olivier smiling.  But ish quickly went left when reportedly the paps on the scene were harrassing Halle.  A nasty scuffle happened after the "Dark Tide" co-star couple coudn't take anymore of the foolery. 

According to Gossip Girls:

Showing his machoism, Olivier walked around his car and got in the face of the photographer before proceeding to shove the shutterbug violently.

Yelling profanities as he hopped in the car, Martinez reportedly backed his car out of the property at a high rate of speed which caused the photographer to fall to the ground.

Insiders tell that the Los Angeles Police were called to the scene, with the belief that Olivier might just get into a bit of trouble for his aggressive driving.

Is it just me...or is there something so sexy about a man who will fight a random ass person on the street for you...and does it in a french accent?

 

Halle was escorted out of the restaurant by the owner.  Well that was an eventful lunch...

PICS: Nicki Minaj, Keri Hilson, Brandy, & More Tape VH1 Divas Salute The Troops Show

Posted: 04 Dec 2010 05:47 AM PST

It was ladies' night for the troops last night.  Presented by the USO at the MCAS Miramar in San Diego, Nicki Minaj and Keri Hilson hit the VH1 Divas Salute The Troops stage to provide eye candy and music for the soldiers.

 

They performed alongside Katy Perry, Jennifer Nettles, host Kathy Griffin, MC Lyte, and more. And we've got pics of the performances and backstage when you read on...

Keri took the stage to gyrate to her tracks.

She also performed the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy opening with Katy Perry and Jennifer Nettles in this sparkly corseted look:

 

 

Cute in a bedazzled ice skater way.

 

And Nicki Minaj and all her colorful creations hit the stage to perform as well:

She did a duet with Katy as well.

And Brandy was spotted in the audience:

Cute dress.

She tweeted that meeting Nicki was the highlight of her night.

 

MC Lyte was on hand and hit the stage.

 

And everyone hit the press room.

Fun times I'm sure.  The show will air Sunday, December 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT on VH1.  And here's what the USO President Sloan Gibson had to say about how much this show means to our troops:

“The USO is thrilled to be partnering with VH1 and honored to be a part of delivering such an uplifting event to our nation’s troops. The holidays are especially tough for our men and women in uniform and their families, and having the opportunity to touch so many troops stationed around the world at a time of year that matters most lets them know that America still cares about their welfare. There is no better time to celebrate our armed forces and support their efforts than now.”

Nice.

 

NO HOOP DREAMS: "Basketball Wives" Star Tami Roman Left Broke And On Food Stamps After Divorce

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:57 PM PST

 

Talk about keeping it real, on this season of VH1's "Basketball Wives," new cast member Tami Roman reveals what happens when the romance goes sour and you don't come out on the winning end of the pre-nup.  Get the deets on how and why Tami had to go on food stamps inside...

When reality tv star Tami Roman learned her baller (now ex) husband Kenny Anderson was cheating, she put her independence first....and left him.  The problem is, she left him even though their prenuptial agreement left her without a dime. Tami tells PopEater that she was forced to use food stamps to care for their two daughters.

Not saying she should have stayed in a bad situation, but on this season we will see Tami and Kenny attempting to repair their relationship with their daughters.  And I'm sure measures could have been taken to force him to take care of his own chil'ren.  Telling her side of the story, Tami says her biggest regret after the divorce was not putting her children first.  She says:

"If you just put Kenny and I in a room, with no mediator, there's no telling what would happen. It hasn't always been an amicable situation. We haven't been proper parents in how we deal with each other, and that has taken a negative effect on his relationship with my daughters."

And she said Kenny hadn't seen the girls in a decade.

"There are so many children who are going through these difficult divorces, and their parents forget about them, which is what Kenny and I did. We acknowledge that this season and try to rebuild."

Now....that's reality.   I wonder if she ever tried to get child support, or did he offer it and she refuse?  Will be interesting to see... 

The second season on "Basketball Wives," debuts Dec. 12 at 8PM ET on VH1.  

 

How Much Longer Will Your Fave Celebs Stay Digitally Dead??

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:16 PM PST

The twitter happy celebs who opted to ixnay all social media starting this past Wednesday in honor of World AIDS Day may not be able to hold out the entire time.

 

Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, Usher, Kim Kardashian, and plenty other are all waiting for their twitter followers and others to raise and donate $1 million before they awake from "digital death".  But that goal is looking mighty far.  Deets when you read on...

They've held out for almost 3 days so far.  But reportedly, the BuyLife.org organization the celebs are encouraging everyone to donate to has only received $183,493 as of this afternoon (Friday).  That's over $800,000 short of their million dollar goal.

There's no Plan B for if they don't reach their goal in a relative amount of time.  So at this rate, these celebs could be digitally dead for a long while.  I have a feeling some folks in the campaign are about to come up out their own pocket with a major donation so they can hop back on Twitter asap.  Just my prediction. R.I.P....

MUSIC FAB: Drake Talks Grammys + Kanye Gets 5 Mics + Jaime Foxx's New Album

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 11:09 AM PST

 

Lots of tid bits from the music world today.  We have deets on Drake hosting the JUNO Awards and Grammy talk, plus info on Jaime Foxx's new album and Kanye's stellar album review from The Source.  Read on for the juice...

 

Having received four Grammy nominations this year, Drake recently sat down with Global Grind to talk about Lil' Wayne, his music and how he deals with negative press and gossip.  

On Getting Four Grammy Nods:

It’s always, to get any type of Grammy accolade or anything, it’s cliche but it’s a dream come true in the literal sense, that thing you have between sleeping and waking up. That time spent I used to think about being on the stage and being able to thank the people that have done so much for me in my life. And I remember the first time I went to the Grammy Awards and I looked at the set up of it at The Kodak Theater and it was like man, this is very similar to the dream I’ve been having since the Degrassi days.

I’ve been having this dream, I never knew where it was and it never really specified what the award was, but I knew it was a night I could let the people know–the people in my life know–how much they have done with me. To have four opportunities to have that chance is incredible.”

On Fighting With Lil' Wayne And Gossip Blogs

"I'm a very open, honest person. I think people that listen to my music know that about me and if there's ever something to address I always deal with it head on whether it be through my music or talking to the person and I think that's been pretty evident. I've been very candid about certain situations that are real.

It's always better to not say anything. When you look at something like 'oh yeah me and Wayne got into a fight or yeah ok I was smashing Wayne's girl.' It's evidently a ploy from whomever or whatever to try to stir up something when they have nothing real."

 

On Hosting The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences JUNO Awards:

"I am beyond honored to be hosting this monumental Juno Awards in the greatest city on earth.  I want to bring a youthful energy to the show and encourage people to be excited about what Canadian music has to offer."

 

Nominations for the 2011 Juno Awards in Canada will be announced on Feb. 1, 2011.

Jimmy "Rent Is Too Damn High" McMillan Strikes AGAIN!+Jermaine Jackson Owes $100K In Child Support!

Posted: 03 Dec 2010 10:13 AM PST

Just when you though Jimmy McMillan was done preaching about how f'in high the rent is....he's back. America's favorite gubernatorial candidate is starring in his own movie called DAMN!. We're not lying.

 

Check out the teaser and an update on Jermaine Jackson's brokeness when you read on...

 

All you folks who joined the "Rent Is Too Damn High" party can rejoice.  Your fearless leader Jimmy McMillan is back. 

The NY Governor candidate who ran with the party he "founded" isn't stopping his show after losing the campaign.  He now has a movie called DAMN!.  It was shot by directors Aaron Fisher-Cohen and Kristan Almgren. And yes.  It's being shown at the SXSW music and movie festival next March.  Check out the teaser for some laughs.  Even though I don't think this is supposed to be funny....

 

Jermaine Jackson needs to ante up almost $100K to his baby mama Alejandra.  The L.A. County Child Support Services Dept. have now confiscated his driver's license until he does so.  He owes the mother of his sons Jafaar and Jermajesty $91,921.55 to be exact.  And while he is supposed to be paying about $3K a month in support, he still claims he only brings in about $1,448 a month. 

Meanwhile, Alejandra just got kicked out of the Jackson estate as mama Katherine made everyone move out recently.  Womp.

1.  Happy 34th Birthday Trina!
