| HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY WEEKEND Kelly Rowland! Posted: 12 Feb 2011 01:45 PM PST
Thirty years ago, on Februay 11, the world was blessed with a beautiful angel by the name of Kelendria Trene Rowland. Born in Georgia, raised in the great state of Texas, this country gal would grow up and become a part of the biggest selling female R&B group of all time. We wish Kelly a happy birthday weekend. Come celebrate her fab looks over the years inside...
Kelly Rowland always seemed like Destiny's stepChlid. Overshadowed by Beyonce, and lost in the shuffle of new members...she was always on the sideline. A constant, stable and reliable force within the group. But never given her just due. But I think we can all agree as Miss Kelly turns 30, she has come into her own. Performing all over the world as a solo artisit, sitting front row at top fashion shows and always always looking the part..she is a fab chick. Beautiful, successful and the color of creamy mocha...she represents for fabulous black chicks from Houston to London and everywhere in between. Congrats on turning 30 Kelly, you are a sexy "Grown Woman." |

| WHO RAN IT?: Gabrielle Union Vs. Kelly Rowland Posted: 12 Feb 2011 12:38 PM PST
It's a Fashion Week face off! Decide which of these YBF chics rocked this Nicole Miller exaggerated one-shouldered jumpsuit best when you read on...
Gabrielle Union rocked this one-shouldered jumpsuit in all black from the Nicole Miller Pre-Fall 2011 collection with minimal accessories last night at Nicole Miller's Fall 2011 fashion show for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. A few weeks earlier, Kelly Rowland rocked the same jumpsuit at the MTV Staying Alive Foundation dinner in London and paired her one-piece with a pair of leopard shoes. So... WHO RAN IT?!

The million dollar Grammy question is "Will Aretha appear?" Well if she doesn't, we caught a glimpse of her last night at the Detroit Pistons home game and The Queen looks fabulous. See the pic inside plus get the deets of LeBron James confronting a heckler at the Pistons/Heat game and see the celebs who watched the Lakers take on the Knicks.
We haven't seen much of The Queen Of Soul since she's been recovering from the surgery she underwent in December, but she made a surprise appearance at the Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat game in Auburn Hills, Michigan last night. She chatted up with the Reverend Jesse Jackson who accompanied her to the game.
The queen also told AP she's hoping to resume her performance schedule in may, "Probably starting at Radio City, reschedule what I had to cancel," she said.
Sidebar: She dropped a lot of weight. Looking good Ms. Franklin!
And in Motor City.... Like the song says, "It's So Cold In The D." I don't know why basketball fans in Detroit like to go hard on the players (remember the Ron Artest fight?), but one dude was seriously trying to get at LeBron James. Apparently, Bron Bron was being taunted early in Friday night's game by a "fan." A witness says the Miami star told the fan he could say whatever he wanted about him but: "Don't say anything about my family — be respectful or we're going to have a problem." A security representative talked to the fan, and he was allowed to stay in his seat.
Watch the video here:
And last night at Madison Square Garden, we spotted several celebs in the audience at the Lakers Vs. Knicks game.
I see Tyson, Jeremy Piven and oh wait...is that Anna Wintour? I bet she is checking out ya boy Amar'e cause he is surely on her fashion "IT" list.
Tyson....you will always be fine. But let that mohawk go.
Alright Kanye. How you doin?
One thing that always makes me smile is Spike Lee's antics at a Knicks game.

On Wednesday, we reported that reality star and shoe boutique owner Rashidah Ali cut a club bouncer from his hairline to his mouth during her birthday blowout at Greenhouse. Well Friday night, she decided to surrender to police and turn herself in. This plus, the very unfortunate story of a young woman who died hours after receiving butt implants and candids pics of Beyonce leaving her NYC home... Over in NYC, Beyonce was spotted leaving her apartment rocking a snug fur coat and minimal makeup.
She's gearing up to meet up with her hubby Jay-Z in L.A. for the Grammys on Sunday. He scored six nods this year, while Beyoncé is nominated for best female pop vocal performance. Nice.
Rashidah Ali (friend to Shaunie O'Neal and the Basketball Wives) turned herself into police to face charges of slashing a bouncer's face at Greenhouse club Jan 26. The victim, bouncer Joseph Wright, who is suing her for $10 million dollars, says that while he was escorting belligerent clubgoers out of the VIP section, Rashidah rushed to claw his face. The incident required Wright to receive 50 stitches. In an email sent to the New York Daily News, Rashidah's publicist, Soulgee McQueen, maintains that Rashidah is "totally not guilty" of any wrong doing. This wanna be reality star must be trying to create a buzz around her name so she can land a show. The proof is in the pudding. Chick needs to be locked up.
In other unfortunate news, a 20 year old aspiring hip hop star from the United Kingdom died this week, hours after receiving some illegal butt implants in a Philadelphia hotel room. Claudia Aderotimi, a student at Thames Valley University traveled to Philadelphia after her cousin helped arrange her operation online in the shabby hotel room. She travelled to Philadelphia with three friends last Saturday to have silicone injections put in her butt on Monday. According to the UK paper, the Daily Mail Reporter, shortly after, Claudia suffered chest pains and breathing problems and was rushed to the hospital. She died in the hospital from a liver failure just hours after the operation had be performed. Surprisingly, this was not Claudia's first time receiving these injections. Although she vowed never to do it again due to the pain she suffered the first time, she apparently changed her mind. Despite the pain, she believe achieveing her "quest for a bigger booty" would help her land more hip hop music videos. The doctor responsible for Claudia's death has not yet been arrested but is said to be a transgendered hip hop singer. SMDH. R.I.P. Claudia.

| Foxy Brown Goes To Court For "Mooning" Incident....Again! Posted: 12 Feb 2011 10:11 AM PST
Brooklyn's Don Diva, Foxy Brown, was back in court yesterday for possibly violating a restraining order when she "mooned" a neighbor. Deets inside...
Foxy is still dealing with the fallout from mooning her neighbor Arlene Raymond, who asserts that Foxy mooned her on Saint Mark's Avenue in Prospect Heights.
It's unfortunate the only time we see Foxy all dressed up and smiling is when she is on her way to court.
I hope she pulls it together for Fashion Week. We could all use some more foolywang. Remember her performance last fall? That dress still gives me nightmares.
