NON-YBF NEWS: Christina Aguilera ARRESTED For Public Intoxication!

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 07:50 AM PST

 

Pop starlet Christina Aguilera seems to be on a downward spiral thanks to her love of booze.  The "What A Girl Wants" singer seems to want a lot of alcohol these days and it got her arrested in West Hollywood this morning.  Deets inside...

Christina Aguilera was arrested along with her boyfriend Matthew Rutler at about 2:45 AM PST after cops pulled Matt over for driving erratically in West Hollywood, CA.   

It turns out that Matt was actually drunk, so cops arrested him for misdemeanor DUI.

Christina was in turn arrested for public intoxication as she was not able to care for herself and was taken into custody.   

According to TMZ, a source from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, said Matt's bail was set at $30,000.  And the source added, "If the driver had NOT been arrested for DUI, [Christina] would have never been in trouble."

SMH...besides tabloids reporting Christina drunk as several parties in Hollywood, and forgetting her lyrics at the Superbowl, she seems to be doing the whole "pop starlet dive."  We've seen this with Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Nicole Richie already.

I heart Christina and have since her "Genie In A Bottle" days.  So I hope she checks into rehab before it starts affecting her home life.  Let's not forget she has a child at home.

Da Brat Is FREE!

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 09:08 PM PST

Jermaine Dupri has informed the innanets that Da Brat is FREE!

 

Yes, chick has raised up from behind those prison bars today and is home after a 2.5 year stint.  Read on for the deets..

After serving 2.5 of her 3 year sentence in prison for going upside a club waitress' head with a bottle, Da Brat's good friend Jermaine Dupri tweeted that she's now back home in Atlanta and free as a bird:

According to her sentence, though, she'll still be on probation for 7 years.

So...what are a few things Brat missed and will be MOST shocked about while she was away?  The fact her homie Lil Kim has been cloned?  The fact everyone now knows when a celeb even takes a ***....because they tell us on this little thing called Twitter?  The fact that music has gotten even sh*ttier over the past few years?  Or the fact that we actually DID inaugurate a black President, AND he's STILL the President?

We're here for all your pop culture and up to date needs and questions Brat.  Welcome home.

EXCLUSIVE: Tia & Tamera Mowry Drop Baby Name Hint!

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 04:39 PM PST

Tia & Tamera Mowry's twin minds aren't only bonded by ink, but by secrets as well.  Both of the fab sisters are remaining mum about the final baby name choice for Tia and Cory Hardrict's first kiddie, but The YBF squeezed a little hint out of them.

 

The twins are dropping hints when you read on...

30-year-old "The Game" actress Tia Mowry is due to deliver her baby boy this summer--July 3rd to be exact.  And she and hubby Cory aren't wasting any time finalizing their first baby's name.

On the recent Essence Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon gold carpet, we caught up with Tia and her sis Tamera and squeezed out a hint.

The name will start with a "C"--in order to keep the family tradition of kids' and dads' names sharing the same first letter.  Tia and Tamera and their siblings share the "T" with their own dad Timothy.

Tia says they're going to keep the name a secret until baby comes. 

Congrats again to the couple!

The red and pink lace with the pinkish pumps...not very appealing.

While Forest Whitaker and his wife Keisha posed with Jason Wu.  Looking good Keisha.
