Ne-Yo Says Fatherhood Is Hard + Naomi Campbell Makes A Sexy Commercial For Her Man + "Charlie's Angels" Casts A YBF Chic

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 06:48 AM PST

Superstar daddy Ne-Yo recently revealed that fatherhood is just as hard as he expected it to be. 

Come inside and find out what Ne-Yo says about parenting challenges, get the deets on Naomi Campbell's latest commecial, plus the scoop on the black actress joining "Charlie's Angels." 

 

Now that he's the father of an adorable 2-month-old named Madilyn, Ne-Yo describes fatherhood as  "hard." Before a performance at the "360 Induced" event, hosted by philanthropist Avi Oster at Salon Millesime, Ne-Yo said the biggest challenge is lack of sleep.

"It's just less and less opportunity to sleep. You know, I don't see the baby as much as I would like. It's beautiful but difficult."

In addition to sleep, he also says he is lacking time to romance baby momma Monyetta Shaw.  When asked about Valentine's Day plans he said,

"I haven't thought about it yet.  This might be the most unromantic Valentine's Day I ever had."

I'm sure Monyetta won't be happy to hear that.  Maybe the three can celebrate Valentine's Day as a family.  

 

And over in Moscow...

Naomi Campbell got sexy for a commercial advertising her billionaire boyfriend's new luxury building.   The supermodel is seen writhing in bed, swimming in a pool, working out in a gym and getting ready for the office.  As the ad for Vladimir Doronin's swanky apartment building called "Legend of Tsvetnoy," comes to an end, Naomi coos "I listen to your heart, Moscow. Now you know where I stay."

Watch the video here:

 

 

In television news:

"Charlie's Angel" will soon return to primetime on ABC and the first actress cast as an angel is YBF chic Annie Ilonzeh.  Charlie's goin' black!

The beautiful 27-year-old will play Kate, a smart and athletic ex-cop who also happens to be a master of martial arts. Prior to this role, Annie had roles on "General Hospital," "Entourage," and "Melrose Place."

DeadlineHollywood.com describes "Kate" as the most serious of the trio of private eyes, but she also knows how to enjoy herself.

I can't wait to find out who else will join the cast.  Will you be watching?

 

Nicki Minaj Goes Solar In London, Almost Gets EVICTED From Hotel Due To Swarming Barbz?!

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 05:23 AM PST

Nicki Minaj rocked a striking solar system dress as she left the Dorchester hotel in London last night. She got swamped by her Barbz and Kenz on her way to Oceana nightclub.  And she almost got put out of her hotel....AND couldn't get into the next club. 

 

Pics and details when you read on....

Ms. Minaj was out of this world in a solar system dress and Gucci boots as she left her hotel last night.  The "Young Money" star is currently on a short promotional visit to London for her debut album Pink Friday and tweeted saying that the hotel was threatening to ask her to leave as her fans and Barbz were all camping outside the hotel.  She posted:

Ugh! The lonon barbz r giving me life! They're so passionate. They're still @ the hotel. The hotel is threatening to kick me out.’

 

I mean, I'm sure folks were swarming and all, but legends like Mariah and Prince and others draw a crowd like you couldn't believe when they stay the Dorchester on many occasions.  And they don't seem to get put out.  Just sayin'.

Nicki and her galaxy inspired mini dress were headed to Oceana nightclub for a special guest appearance, But she reportedly was then prevented from entering a nightclub called Runway after there was security issues.  Afterwards she tweeted:

"Had a blast @ oceana! Security issues r now preventing us from entering runway...".

Sounds like a blast.  Check out Nicki's 80's inspired pink-top fade and jumpsuit earlier yesterday HERE.

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 04:52 AM PST

Monica's thrown in her 2 cents about her and Shannon Brown's secret wedding.  And she even dished that they're working on a baby together. 

 

The new bride's statement and wedding details when you read on....

Monica confirmed what her husband already did--she and Shannon got married November 22nd after meeting a little over a month prior on the set of her "Love All Over Me" video.  And she says they did so in their L.A. home with only 2 witnesses present.  Sweet.

She sent HipHollywood.com this statement:

"This is a very special time in my life. I am blessed to have married the man that God sent me, he's loving, compassionate, strong and supportive of my children, family and career. I look forward to our lives together."

Monica says they are having their public ceremony this July and she's working on finishing her new album New Life also due out this summer.  And Shannon is working on his business and getting a 3-peat championship with the Lakers.

Mo also revealed that they may want to extend their own family this summer once Shannon's season is over.  Is she already preggers?  Or will they start trying in the off season?  Did Kris Jenner get in Mo's ear on the sidelines of one of those games telling her she could get the twosome a reality show?  Time will tell...

Gloria Govan Breaks It Down About Matt Barnes, Not Getting Married & The Infamous Shaunie O'Neal Ambush

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 05:54 PM PST

 

Though she's rarely been seen on this season's "Basketall Wives," the ambush of Gloria Govan has been one of the show's most buzzworthy moments.  Come inside to see what Gloria has to say about the infamous ambush, her cancelled wedding to Matt Barnes and what's next for her...

 

Gloria Govan, the girlfriend/babymama of LA Laker Matt Barnes, called up to Power 92.1 to talk about why she came back for a 2nd season of “Basketball Wives,” the cancelled wedding, the domestic violence "situation," the infamous ambush and more. Here are the highlights:

 

On returning to “Basketball Wives” for a 2nd season

Although being very adamant about not returning for the 2nd season of BBW, she said she came back “to “set ‘em straight.” She knew the other “wives” had plenty to say about her and Matt canceling their wedding, so she wanted to come back to see if they would say the things they were saying in interviews to her face.

On their wedding being called off

The wedding was called off because she said they were doing it to please other people. She said when they first decided to get married they were doing it for all the wrong reasons.

On Matt Barnes and infidelity rumors

She’s never had any concrete evidence that Matt Barnes cheated on her. She said she was more upset with Matt Barnes for entertaining the woman that he was rumored to be cheating on her with. She says she trusts Matt 100% but was VERY hesitant when answering the question.

On Matt Barnes signing a multi-million dollar deal with the Lakers

She was nervous about where they was going after leaving Orlando. She said she was relieved that they were going back to the west coast. She was happy that they didn’t go to Miami because of the groupies.

On her calling 911 on Matt Barnes physically abusing her

She says Matt never hit her. She and Matt got into a heated argument outside and it escalated. There was no physical abuse or any physical altercation. She says she takes the blame for the situation because Matt ended up getting arrested. She says she didn’t bail him out because she was frustrated with him but her family bailed him out.

On the status of their relationship

She’s still his fiancée and they still plan to get married.

On her having a relationships with other NBA players

Gloria says she never had a relationship or had sex with Gilbert Arenas prior to her sister hooking up with Gilbert. She said she never had a relationship with Chris Webber either.

On why she doesn’t get along with the other “Wives”

She thinks the other women on the show don’t like her because she didn’t throw her sister under the bus because of rumors of her sister sleeping with Shaq. She thinks the other women are frustrated with her because she didn’t bash Matt like the other women did their partners.

On the ambush in the restaurant

She responds, “What are yall grown women doing? Especially Shaunie, I’m like ‘don’t you have 18 kids? If you don’t go home and read one of them a book and stop worrying about what I’m doing.’ I’m just sayin’” She said Shaunie deserved every word she said about her. She doesn’t care what the other “wives” are doing, so it was surprising to her that they cared so much about what was going on in her life.

On her castmates

She said she doesn’t know what happened with the change in her castmates behavior. Evelyn went from crying all the time last season to becoming a “gangsta” this season. Jennifer is throwing her opinions every chance she gets. She says she thinks Evelyn picks on Suzy because she knows Suzy isn’t going to do anything. She said if Evelyn was to bring that crap to her it would be a totally different situation.

On what she’s doing outside of “Basketball Wives”

She’s working on a cook book. She’s president of Matt’s foundation so she’s been busy with that. She’s also thinking about starting a jewelry line.

Janet Jackson Jets Out Of LAX+"Madea's Big Happy Family" Begins Promo

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 12:39 PM PST

Ms. Jackson made her way through LAX last night looking fly as usual.  Pics of her jet-setting, plus Tyler Perry's first look at the new "Madea's Big Happy Family" promo, when you read on...

Janet looked great in her all black ensemble and platform brown boots while trotting through LAX airport last night:

Loves that bag.  Wonder where she's off to.

 

And Tyler Perry's new movie Madea's Big Happy Family is kicking off promo.  The trailer doesn't come out for another few weeks.  But here's the first look at the new promo poster.  Bow Wow, Loretta Devine, Teyana Taylor, Lauren London, and plenty others will be starring in the flick.

Plot synopsis:

Madea, everyone’s favorite wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners grandma, jumps into action when her niece, Shirley, receives distressing news about her health. All Shirley wants is to gather her three adult children around her and share the news as a family. But Tammy, Kimberly and Byron are too distracted by their own problems: Tammy can’t manage her unruly children or her broken marriage; Kimberly is gripped with anger and takes it out on her husband; and Byron, after spending two years in jail, is under pressure to deal drugs again. It’s up to Madea, with the help of the equally rambunctious Aunt Bam, to gather the clan together and make things right the only way she knows how: with a lot of tough love, laughter…and the revelation of a long-buried family secret.

 

Tyler Perry – screenwriter, director and two-time star (as Madea and her brother, Joe) – returns with another tender and hilarious look at love and family ties with MADEA’S BIG HAPPY FAMILY, also starring Shad “Bow Wow” Moss, Loretta Devine, Cassi Davis, Lauren London, David Mann, Tamela Brown Mann, Isaiah Mustafa, Rodney Perry, Shannon Kane, Natalie Desselle Reid and Teyana Taylor.

Keyshia Cole Performs on "Conan" + Halle Berry's Temper Tantrums Made Gabriel Aubry File Paternity Docs

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 10:12 AM PST

 

Last night Keyshia Cole performed on "Conan" and we have the video for you inside.  Watch Keyshia perform "Take Me Away," plus get the deets on the screaming fits and tantrums sources say Halle Berry has been throwing because of her baby's father Gabriel Aubry...

 

Keyshia Cole went on the "Conan" show last night to promote her Calling All Hearts album and its latest single "Take Me Away."  Sources say a video for the single will drop soon.

 

Watch Keyshia perform "Take Me Away":

 

 

 

And we reported that Gabriel Aubry recently went to court to declare paternity for little Nahla...and now we have a better understanding about that decision.  Though some insiders have said that Halle and Gabriel get along great, a new report from RadarOnline says this isn't the case.  

A source told the site that Gabriel has been the target of several screaming fits and angry meltdowns thrown by Halle and he has reasons to believe that she hired a private investigator to dig up dirt on him. 

The source said Gabriel felt "forced" to file a petition for custody of their two-year-old daughter Nahla, to ensure his legal rights to visitation.  

"Basically whenever Gabriel doesn't do exactly what Halle tells him to do, or if he does something she doesn't approve of or like, she goes crazy on him, screaming and shouting.  "Contrary to public perception Halle has a particularly nasty temper, and she can be really controlling and vindictive."

Halle reportedly really got upset when Gabriel was photographed out with other women, like Kim Kardashian. 

"Halle was absolutely furious and had a complete melt-down. She basically gave him an ultimatum -- to choose between dating other women and carrying on being on her good side. She was particularly angry that he had been so public, even going to a Lakers game one time, and she totally berated him, basically telling him that if he has to date, just date a nobody waitress that nobody will care about."

The source continued,

"Judging by Halle's past actions and threats it wouldn't surprise me, if Gabriel doesn't follow her rules she's going to fight nasty."

So were all these reports of the couple splitting up and being on good terms lies?  The source seems to think so saying that Halle is very protective of her image and her PR team goes to great lengths to say that everything is great between her and Gabriel in order to portray her in a better light.

Hmmm...that got messy real quickly.  Clearly there are two sides to every story and maybe we've only been getting the side that's spun by Halle's publicist.  I hope that peternity thing works out for Gabriel and he gets to see little Nahla as much as he wants.
