Separate Holidays: Naomi's Boyfriend Spends Christmas With His Wife, Then New Years With Naomi

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 08:05 AM PST

Naomi Campbell and boyfriend Vladimir Doronin seem to have this whole holiday/multiple families thing down to a science. Get the deets on how Vladimir split time between Naomi and his OTHER family (including his wife) inside...

Naomi's billionaire boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, spent Christmas with his wife, Ekaterina, his daughter, Katia, and his mother-in-law before he flew off for New Year's to meet Naomi, according to the NY Post.  

Sources say Vladimir spent a week with his family at the Beverly Hills Hotel before he and Naomi flew off to Los Cabos, Mexico.  Well...since everyone involved seemed to ok this "affair"...what are we to say?

And sources also told the Post to ignore rumors of a wedding between Naomi and Vladimir as he and his wife are nowhere near a divorce settlement. They've been split for several years now, but not legally. Interesting.  Whatever floats your yacht....

Kelly Rowland Exposes Her Boobies At Jet Nightclub

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 06:43 AM PST

Kelly Rowland is starting off 2011 with a bang.  Or should we say with a perk? Ms. Kelly performed at JET nightclub in Vegas last night.  And forgot her bra.  At least she wore some dark pasties (and possibly a silicone sticky) to cover up any nipplage underneath the sheer shirt.  Chick's body is bangin' though. 

 

More pics when you read on...

 

Kelly hit up Jet nightclub at the Mirage hotel to party it up and perform for the crowd.


She rocked a sexy look with black riding pants and a black sheer top with strategic embellishments and an open leather jeacket and cute boots.

Alright then Kelly.  Determined to get some attention in the new year I see.  Do you boo.

RUMOR CONTROL: Lil Kim & MJB Are NOT Doing A Collabo Diss Track

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 05:46 AM PST

 

At her New Year's Eve party, Lil' Kim took to the mic to announce that she and Mary J. Blige would be erasing folks social security numbers...but now we find that it may not happen (on wax) after all.  Deets inside...

 

At her NYE's party this weekend, Lil Kim popped off about Nicki Minaj and Keyshia Cole's new song, and hinted that Kimmy herself and MJB would strike back.  The video is above, but here's what she said:

I think this other bitch got a song with Keyshia Cole, right? Coming at me and the muthafuckin’ other queen, Mary J. Blige. Me and my girl Mary J. Blige about to eat these bitches alive where they won’t even fucking exist no more and erase their fucking social security number! We gon’ remind them who the fuck we are! I’m not playing with this bitch for 2011. I’m saying, we can rock together but bitch you ain’t taking nothing from me!

But just as quickly as word spread on the internet that MJB and Lil' Kim may do a track together, a press release was issued today from Kim's camp saying:

Contrary to circulating reports, Hip-hop Icon Lil' Kim will not be releasing a diss record with Mary J. Blige. Rumors began circulating after a live videostream of Lil' Kim's New Years' Eve performance re-aired show footage. During the performance, Lil' Kim spoke out about how she felt about Keyshia Cole and Nicki Minaj's song 'I Aint Thru.' She did not insinuate a collaborative diss record. There will be no "diss" track.

So for everyone hoping for a classic like "I Can Love You"......womp womp.  Nothing to see here folks....nothing to see...

The Randomness:

1.  The rants the Kardashian chicks have been doing about the paparazzi are nothing less than ironic and annoying.  And this paparazzo put them on blast and called them out about their antics of calling the paprazzi to stage photos, and now biting the hand that feeds them.  We couldn't have said it ourselves.  Story

So Diddy Spent New Year's Eve With Cassie?

Posted: 03 Jan 2011 05:29 AM PST

No one should be surprised by this.  After spending Christmas vacay with his baby mama Kim Porter and all the kids in St. Barts, and looking pretty cozy with Kimmy on the yacht, Diddy bounced right back to Cassie for New Year's Eve.

 

We've got the deets on them ringing in the New Year together in Vegas when you read on...

Who are we to judge--maybe these ladies have an "understanding".  Or maybe they're ok with looking foolish to the masses on such a public level.

Anywho, Diddy hit up Marquee Club at the Cosmopolitan Hotel after his own NYE hosting gig at LAX nightclub.  He went over to the BING sponsored party at the new Cosmopolitan Hotel to kick it with his homies Jay-Z, Kanye, and everyone else who was there.  And, of course, he had Cassie on his arm.

The event organizer confirmed to us that Diddy indeed spent the whole night with his "girlfriend" Cassie as they partied alongside their friends in private booths.  The organizers confirmed:

"The party wound down after 5:00 AM on New Years Day, but not before Diddy and his girlfriend Cassie made a final stop to say "Hi" to his friend Erick Morillo in the main rooms DJ booth, Morillo proceeded to play Diddy's "Hello Good Morning" and the crowd and the camera's went crazy.

By the way, Jay took some time shortly after the clock struck midnight to wish the crowd--and his wife--a Happy New Year.  The organizers tell us the inside deets of the party:

Following Jay-Z and Kanye's second performance of the evening, Jay asked comedian Aziz Ansari to join them in the DJ booth and entertain the crowd with a "New Years Eve joke." Ansari said no, but Jay wouldn't relent and eventualy Ansari took the mic and got a few laughs.  But not before Jay, Kanye and Rhianna were joined by Beyonce in the booth, at which point Jay stopped the music to wish happy new year to everyone in the room and to his wife "B".

Sweet!

PARTY PEOPLE: Kelly Rowland+Ludacris & Eudoxie Celebrate The New Year

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 03:13 PM PST

Kelly Rowland showed up on the arm of a mystery man--who could possibly be her security--in Miami for a New Year's Eve party.  She looked annoyingly stunning as always.

 

We've got Ms. Kelly's pics, plus Ludacris and his girl Eudoxie celebrating as well, when you read on....

Kelly looked hot walking into the W South Beach's NYE party this weekend. 

Loving this short coiffed hair.  She even makes a fanny pack work.

 

And over in Vegas:

Ludacris hosted the Hard Rock NYE party and brought his fab chick Eudoxie along.

 

And I'm sure there was plenty of Conjure Cognac for everyone.

Ginuwine Delivers As "The Chocolate Milk Man" For Adult Drink

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 12:04 PM PST

Got milk?  Ginuwine is the new spokesman for a 40 proof version of chocolate milk that will soon hit the shelves in 2011 of a Costco near you.  Get deets inside on your milk man...

 

Like Billy Dee to malt liquor, Ludacris to Conjure Cognac, and Diddy to Ciroc, Ginuwine has added his brand of sexiness to a new alcoholic drink known as Adult Chocolate Milk.  Who knew?

Ginuwine will be on billboards on the Vegas Strip soon and there's also a national TV commercial planned that I'm sure will give the Old Spice Guy a run for his money.

As the sexy chocolate milkman, imagine Ginuwine showing up to your door with a delivery...and licking his own milk mustache.  With the right commercial, I think Ginuwine could turn this into an Emmy-winning comeback.  I just want to know whose idea this was....

Lauryn Hill Keeps Fans Waiting Four Hours+Sneak Peek At Nicki Minaj's "Moment For Life" Vid

Posted: 02 Jan 2011 08:22 AM PST

 

Lauryn Hill recently showed up very late to a concert in Brooklyn, then berated fans who complained by saying, "I personally know I'm worth the wait."  Get the deets inside, plus a sneak peek at Nicki Minaj's new video...

 

 

Lauryn Hill performed a concert at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg last night, but kept her fans waiting all night.  The concert was scheduled to start at 8pm, but Ms. Hill didn't grace the stage until after midnight.  Can you imagine a four hour wait?  Well she told the crowd, "If you're unhappy you'e more than welcome to go back and get a refund.  There's a lot that goes into this."

A New York Times writer wrote:

"Two fans in the front row hand-wrote signs: “You Just Lost One,” “This Is Insulting.” One of the keyboard players taped a reply on his kit: “I Was on Time.” When Ms. Hill finally took the stage a little after midnight — a few minutes after arriving at the club and getting carried over piles of snow on the street, one witness reported — she was primed for a fight. “Don’t do that. That’s disrespectful,” she told the fans with the signs, motioning with her finger to the exit at the back of the room, where she suggested they go.

To the crowd she was both thankful and indignantly apologetic. “I spent my entire 20s sacrificing my life to give you love. So when I hear people complain, I don’t know what to tell you,” she said. “I personally know I’m worth the wait.” ... After her first song, a lithe, pretty cover of Bob Marley’s “Forever Loving Jah,” she finally yanked the sign off her keyboard player’s kit, telling him: “You trying to escape the bottles and the cups. Next time you take it, you take it like a man. We in this together, brother.”

 

Watch the clip:

Lauryn feels because she gave up so much during her 20s...we owe her with our time.  Hmph.  I guess people less talented have had way more diva moments.  But damn.

 

In other music news, Nicki Minaj is set to drop the video for her single with Drake very soon.  In the meantime, here's some pics from the set for you thanks to HipHopConnection:  

Looks like her and Drake get very close in the video for "Moment For Life."

Remember when Kanye West and Irv Gotti were comparing Nicki to Lauryn Hill and saying she was going to be the next "greatest?"  Well I hope Nicki doesn't go the diva way of Lauryn and start disrespecting her fans.  So far...she seems to be enjoying her "moment."
