Nicki Minaj Nixes London Club Gig After Bar Fight, Hosts Her Pink Friday Party

Posted: 22 Jan 2011 07:14 AM PST

Overseas promoting Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj was forced to cancel one of her promo gigs due to a bar fight that happened earlier at the location.  Get the deets inside....

 

Well the Barbz are really leaving their mark on the UK.  When she wasn't signing the boobs of fans in public, getting swarmed at the airport, or getting kicked out of her hotel, Nicki Minaj was busy promoting her Pink Friday project.  But all of that got sidetracked Thursday night when she had to cancel a gig due to a bar fight.

According to MTV UK, Nicki first performed at club Oceana in Blighty and was set to make a surprise appearance at club Runway, but decided to bounce because of a brawl at the bar.  We posted yesterday that she wsn't let into Runway.  But now we know it's because a fight had broken out.

She tweeted her fans, “Had a blast @ oceana! Security issues r now preventing us from entering runway…”

No reports indicate that the brawl was related to her scheduled appearance; nevertheless, every place she goes seems to be affected by her presence.  

Pics of her leaving her new hotel and heading to host her Studio Valbonne Pink Friday party last night:

 

Well this is an interesting S&M mixed with a ballerina look.

Looks like November was a big month for more than just Monica and Shannon Brown.  44-year-old Eric Benet popped the question to his fab girlfriend.

"During a romantic dinner, I decided to finally let Manuela hear 'Never Want to Live Without You," a song off my new album that I had written for her," Benet tells UsMagazine.com. "I sang it to her, then got down on one knee and proposed."

Sweet.  They've reportedly set a summer wedding.

Nicki Minaj Kicked Out Of Her London Hotel!

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 03:31 PM PST

Nicki Minaj has just been kicked out of her hotel in London.  We've got pics of her leaving in a dizzying jumpsuit, and arriving at her new hotel in white dress and multicolored wig.  Deets inside....

 

We reported earlier that Nicki Minaj was experiencing problems with the hotel where she was staying due to the large number of fans lingering around the premises.  Well...the hotel head honchos finally got fed up and kicked her out. 

Earlier today, managers at the Dorchester Hotel cut Nicki’s stay short after her "young" fans caused a disruption on the grounds.  Pics as she left the hotel:

 

 

Interesting look.

 

After the kick out, Nicki tweeted this:   

And was spotted arriving at her new hotel in this look:

 

Somebody's not looking too happy.

I don't remember Beyonce, Kanye, Jay-Z, Madonna, Prince or even the Spice Girls getting kicked out of their London hotels due to fans hanging around.  This Barbie thing is bigger than we thought.  At least with the kiddies...

 

Steve Harvey's Ex-Wife Of 16 Years BLASTS Steve On Cheating on Her With Other Women...Including Marjorie! [EXPLICIT MISTRESS LETTER INSIDE]

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 11:30 AM PST

I was wondering when Steve Harvey's ex would come forward with details of how Steve cheated on her with other women...including his current wife Marjorie.

 

Mary Harvey, Steve's former wife of 16 years, is now partaking in Youtubery to blast her ex husband about what kind of man he really is.  Grab ya popcorn.  Deets and an EXPLICIT letter from one of his mistresses when you read on!

Mary Harvey, a former cosmetics associate, wants you all to know that the uber successful radio host/"relationship expert"/comedian/actor/author that we all know as Steve Harvey is not the same man she married several years ago.  And to the public, he's acting like a stand-up guy that he really is not, at least not to her.

Here's a video of her detailing Steve's cheating habits with his mistresses--including one chick who sent a letter to Mary about condoms on the nightstand--and how he cheated on Mary with his current wife Marjorie.  Of course, it is well known that Marjorie was originally Steve's other woman.  But who knew she called Mary and Steve's house during their cheating escapades as if she had every right to enter the marriage?

 

Highlights:

  • Mary says Marjorie called their marital home claiming to be "checking up on" her application to work at Steve's suit company.  Mary responded, "Well I don't believe I'm taking applications in my kitchen."  WOMP.
  • Mary said she once confronted Marjorie.
  • Mary received a CONFIDENTIAL letter from another of Steve's mistresses named Terry, while she was at the beauty shop.  The letter was meant for Steve. And it detailed their cheating escapades, condom usage, hard core anal sex, and an abortion.
  • Mary said she and Steve used to steal gas and save coins just to get him to his gigs in their poor and early days.
  • Their son, Wynton who is now 12, almost died in childbirth and so did Mary.  This was right after she found out Steve was cheating on her.
  • She stayed with Steve even though she knew about the cheating because she wanted the family she had worked for and created, and wanted it for her kids.

There was another video before this one, but it was unrelated to this conversation as Mary was discussing how they met.  The one tidbit she did say in that vid is that she found it interesting he named his book Act Like A Woman, Think Like A Man.  Apparently, one of their good friends wrote a book Steve coincidentally loved with a very similar title and concept. By the way, here's the letter that Steve's mistress of 8 years, Terry, sent to Steve:

 

Oh wow.  "C**k in my a**" and "opening legs wide"?  And an abortion? I can't!

And judging by the end of this little video, it looks like Ms. Mary is writing a book of her own. Here we go....

 

Fans Boo Venus Williams As She Withdraws From The Australian Open + Antoine Dodson Lands His Own Reality Show!

Posted: 21 Jan 2011 10:46 AM PST

 

Venus Williams was greeted with a round of boos, from the audience, as she withdrew from the Australian Open due to injury.  Get the deets inside.  Plus, run tell DIS....Antoine Dodson is coming to reality tv.   Deets inside....

 

Venus Williams was forced to withdraw from the Australian Open yesterday after injuring a hip flexor muscle in the previous round. 

“I mean, it’s super disappointing because this is just not how I envisioned my Australian Open being. I’ve never had to retire from a Grand Slam, especially after working so hard to pull out the match the other day. Just hoping for some magic that I could recover. But I have peace of mind that I really gave more than my best out there.”

Just for her own self-presevation, it was great that Venus left the match.  But the crowd didn't feel that way.  As she walked through the tunnel back to the locker room, she was met with a smattering of boos and whistles.  Folks were upset that they had paid top dollar for tickets to the two night-session singles matches and seen only three sets.  

The tournament director, Craig Tiley, had scheduled Venus Williams and Andrea Petkovic last, hoping to give Venus a chance to recover, but her mother and coach, Oracene Price, said she did not think Williams should have competed at all.  

Venus has been dealing with a lot of injuries including tendinitis in both knees in recent years and a sprained left kneecap last year.

Venus may be out the tournament, but she made it clear that she had no intention of retirement in general.

“Well, I’m still pretty good, even when I’m injured.  I mean, at the Open, I came pretty close to winning that tournament just on a hope and a prayer and little to no preparation. Here, you know, I was grinding. So I’m just going to focus obviously on getting healthy and coming back. Because I love tennis, and I’ve got a lot of great tennis in me. I love my job, so no end in sight.”

 

Get better soon Venus.

And in television news...

Antoine Dodson continues down the road to worldwide domination.  He started out as a young man in the projects, then became an internet sensation. What's the next stop?  TV superstar of course.  TMZ reports that Antoine is shooting a pilot for a reality show produced by Entertainment One with actress Kali Hawk (remember their milkshake run?) as executive producer.

The unnamed show will focus on Antoine moving out of Alabama and over to West Hollywood. No network has signed onto the project yet, but with Antoine's lucky streak, it could land on one of the big four networks.
