Posted: 09 Mar 2011 07:52 AM PST

Tyra Banks has come out of hiding!  We've got pics of her flaunting her new deep brown hair color while out at dinner last night in L.A., plus pics of Meagan Good partying out in L.A. when you read on...

Ms. Banks was spotted grabbing dinner at Madeo retaurant in L.A. yesterday.  She looked relaxed in a tee and off-white blazer and slacks.

Where you been Ty Ty?

 

Elsewhere in L.A., a fresh faced Meagan Good was spotted out doing her club rounds last night:

We don't always love the Jumping The Broom star's attire choices, but she does always seem to make casual leggings and boot sand a tee very sexy. 

Hey Megs!

YBF KIDS: Monica And Shannon Brown Take Lil' Rocko And Romelo Out To The Ball Game

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 07:42 AM PST

Last night at the Lakers vs. Hawks game in Atlanta, Monica was spotted with her sons Lil' Rocko and Romelo on their floor-side seats...literally.  The happy family was spotted on the floor as they were greeted by various Lakers, including of course, stepdad Shannon Brown.

 

Monica brought her sons out to watch their stepdad Shannon Brown take on the Hawks.

Matt Barnes stopped by to say hello.

And the boys looked excited to watch Shannon hoop it up.

 

Even Lamar Odom took some time to pose with the boys after the game.  Cute pics.

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 07:02 AM PST

Producer Teddy Riley’s daughters Bobbie, 16, and Taja Riley,18, and Deja, 22, have formed a group and have just dropped a new track.  The ladies call themselves RaidR, and we've got their first singing attempt called "ATM" when you read on...

I guess Teddy and Taja kissed and made up after she accused him of beating her with a guitar a little over a year ago.

Here's your first listen at the ladies' new track called "ATM":

 

You feelin' it?

PROMO FAB: "DWTS" Contestants Wendy, Romeo, & More Release Promo Pics

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 06:40 AM PST

Everyone seems to be excited about this year's lineup of "DWTS" contestants from talk show maven Wendy Williams to boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard.  ABC has recently released the contestants' promo shots and we have them for you after the jump...

 

 

Hip-hop heir Romeo will be dancing with Chelsie Hightower.

 

I have a feeling Romeo will be a showstopper with his cute self.

Besides dance steps, Anna Trebunskaya works on Sugar Ray's posture.

 Hines Ward hopes to take home the prize with partner Kym Johnson.

And Wendy Williams will take the stage with Tony Dovolani whom she refers to as "My Tony."

Looks like it will be an exciting season.

Bobby Brown Denies Bobbi Kristina's Drug Allegations, New Pics Surface

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 06:18 AM PST

Bobbi Kristina isn't the only one denying the seemingly obvious. Pops Bobby Brown spoke to ABC News this week and denied the pics and claims that his 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina doing cocaine.

 

Bobby's denial, plus clearer pics of Bobbi Kris "not snorting lines" when you read on....

Looks like Bobby and Whitney have a "situation" on their hands.  After these pics of Bobbi Kristina "allegedly" snorting cocaine surfaced last week, denials of "it's not what it looks like" came from Bobbi Kris herself.  And now, from her daddy.

Bobby told ABC News:

"I don't know anything about that," Brown told ABC News Now's What's the Buzz on Monday when asked about the photos. "My daughter, she doesn't, she doesn't do that."

Hmmm.  Even if she wasn't actually snorting it--even joking with something like this screams "problematic" to me.  But maybe that's just me.  Your thoughts?

SPOTTED: Toya Carter & Her Fiance' Memphitz At Luda's Straits Restaurant

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 04:58 AM PST

Toya Carter was spotted boo'd up with her fiance Memphitz last night at Ludacris' Straits restaurant.  The failed health inspection didn't stop Lakers, Hawks, and ATL folks from hitting up the spot after the Lakers VS. Hawks game last night.

 

Pics of the couple, plus what Toya's been up to lately, when you read on...

Toya looked cute with her bright pink lip and fab makeup last night.  And she's been a busy lady as of late.  She's got her own spinoff reality sow about her family coming to BET this April, she opened her brand new boutique, Garb, in her hometown of New Orleans, and she's finishing up her new "tell-all" book, Priceless Inspirations, in which her ex-husband, Lil Wayne, is writing the Forward.

On the gossip tip, we do hear Toya is the breadwinner between her and Memphitz.  He is currently unemployed, and has been for a while now. 

Hopefully it doesn't cause an issue in their relationship.  And it's possibly the reason they're choosing to wait a bit for a wedding and marriage.

Oh wells.  Toya seems to have put her BET money to good use.  Not mad.  Good luck to the couple.

*UPDATED* SAD NEWS: Kandi Burruss' Late Ex-Fiance A.J.'s 15-Year-Old Daughter SHOT In Drive-By Road Rage Incident

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 10:58 PM PST

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Kandi Burruss has suffered yet another huge blow from someone close to her.  After losing her fiance, A.J. Jewell recently, to sickle cell, A.J.'s 15-year-old daughter, Asheley Jewell, was shot in the head over the weekend.

 

The news story when you read on...

This past Saturday night, Kandi's late ex-fiance's daughter, Asheley Jewell, was shot in the back of the head while she and her friends were riding in a car headed to pick up food. Asheley had two sisters, who are twins.

According to MyFox Atlanta, it appeared to be a near fatal incident of road rage:

Investigators said Jewell was riding in a car with friends on Old National Highway when another vehicle started chasing the car. Someone in the vehicle opened fire on the car Jewell was riding in, shooting the teen in the back of the head.

Jewell was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Police said road rage may be a possible motive in the case.

Jewell is the daughter of the late A.J. Jewell, the man who died after a fight outside an Atlanta strip club. Jewell was the one-time fiancé of Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member, Kandi Burruss.

Kandi took to her twitter to express her grief over the senseless murder attempt:

And video of the news report:

Such a sad and senseless incident.  Prayers for the families.

EDITOR'S NOTE: More credible news reports have been found that do not confirm Asheley's death.  So we have removed it from this story.  She is still listed in critical condition as of 7:30AM, 3/9/11.

Rihanna Won't Star In "The Bodyguard" Remake

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:55 PM PST

We told you earlier that there was a possibility that Rihanna would star in a remake of The Bodyguard, but now when asked if she would star in the project she says "Absolutely not."  Deets inside...

 

In a new interview with OK! magazine, Rihanna denies that she will star in a remake of The Bodyguard.

"I hate it when singers do singing movies all the time because you can never look at them as anybody else," she said. "I want to play a character. My whole life is playing Rihanna, being a singer won't be a stretch for me. I like challenges and being an actor is playing a role, being able to step into somebody else's shoes, that's the excitement."

I guess the search continues for a star vehicle to turn Rihanna into a screen goddess.

The Randomness:

1.  Tiki Barber makes plans to return to the NFL.  Story.

2.  LeBron James being sued by a nightclub in Atlanta.  Story. 

Evelyn Lozada Says "Basketball Wives" Producers Betrayed Her, So She's Quitting The Show

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:05 PM PST

After Sunday's explosive season finale of "Basketball Wives" Evelyn Lozada says she's quitting the show.  Get the deets inside...

On this Sunday's season finale of "Basketball Wives" Evelyn Lozada had a fight with castmate Tami Roman after Evelyn revealed she slept with Tami's ex, Kenny Anderson, while the two were married.  I have to give it to Shaunie O'Neal and the producers, I never saw that coming.  But now sources close to Evelyn say she wants to leave the show.  

The sources told TMZ that Evelyn felt betrayed by the producers, whom she says stirred up a confrontation with a fellow castmember, by revealing details of an illicit affair.  Apparently Evelyn sent producers an email last night saying she wants to leave the show.

Or...it could be a way to increase her salary.  Who wouldn't tune in next season to see her and Tami try to make amends?  I'm already excited about next week's reunion.
