Fans get ready for another does of Tyler Perry.  He's readying his next project which he will direct, produce, and star in....but it won't feature an appearance by Madea.   It's called Good Deeds and here's what the one-stop shop mogul himself had to say about it:

“My next film is ‘Good Deeds.’ It’s a romantic comedy that I play the lead role in. It’s about a guy that’s torn between the girl he’s going to get married and a new girl that he just meets and he falls in love with. So that’s a little different for me.”

MAGAZINE FAB: Lamar & Khloe Odom Dressed In LOVE For FEARLESS Mag

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 06:29 AM PDT

L.A. Laker star Lamar Odom is rocking the Spring 2011 cover of FEARLESS magazine with his wife Khloe Kardashian Odom.  They've been married for 1 and a half years (can't say I'm not shocked), so they're dishing on how they keep their love "konfidential," some words for the non-believers of their love, why we should care about their new spin-off reality show, and why #27 is their REAL lucky number, when you read on...

The Spring Issue of the mag, founded by YBF Chick Ariane Simone, is all dressed up in LOVE-- from Husband and Wife Love to Family Love, Friendship Love, etc., and YBF has the first look.

Of course, the E! cameras were in tow for Khloe and Lamar's love-photoshoot session for this cover to catch all their marital moments I'm sure we'll be seeing on one of the many shows that Kardashian family has squeezed out of Ryan Seacrest.

The shoot was done on January 27, 2011 at Slick Force Studio in Downtown LA by photographer Nick Saglimbeni.  The date of the photo shoot holds sentimental value to the Odoms; they met on August 27, 2009 and married Sept 27, 2009, so 27 is their number!

The kissey couple has an intimate discussion on their "Unbreakable Love."  Lamar and Khloe give readers a “konfidential” look into their personal and professional lives.

Inside the issue, the Odoms are very assured they are a wonderful match for each other--they both even scored high on the Newly Wed Compatibility Game they played with Fearless.  What did Lamar have to say about it?

“Whether your courtship is 30 days or three years, when it’s the one you know.”

You can always count on a little nugget of genius from that Kardashian clan.  *eyebrows raised*  The duo shot a fab cover nonetheless.

The "Khloe and Lamar" show debuts April 10th on E!

Posted: 03 Apr 2011 07:03 PM PDT

Tonight, Rihanna took the stage at the Academy of Country Music Awards to perform her single "California King Bed" with Jennifer Nettles of the band Sugarland.  Watch the performance inside.

 

When asked about the performance earlier, Jennifer Nettles said,

“It’s the first time that Lady Ri and I have ever sung together and the first time that this song will be performed live so we are thrilled.  It is such a moment. And I think what it shows us is that good music is good and good performance is good, and as long as you like it, who cares what you call it. Get out there and have fun with each other." 

You feelin' it?

PICS: Ashanti & Her Mama Tina Celebrate Lil Sis Shia's 22nd Birthday

Posted: 03 Apr 2011 03:16 PM PDT

Another year, another onslaught of spandex.  Ashanti and her momager Tina partied it up with little sister Shia at Marquee nightclub in Manhattan for her Shia's 22nd birthday last night.  It's clear that this sister duo is no stranger to showing some skin in their tight mini dresses, like Shia's 21st b-day last year (I actually loved her look last year even though others didn't), and this year was no different.

 

We've got the pics of the cute ladies and their friends dancing and drinking it up when you read on...

 

Shia rocked a black dress with side cut outs and sparkly silver Louboutins, while her big sis Ashanti rolled into the place with her fur and a blue sequin one-shoulder mini dress.

Love Ashanti's makeup as always.

And clearly she was getting it in with her drink in tow--shoeless--most of the night.

Not the most flattering dress for lil Shia, but she's really an uber cute beautiful girl nonetheless.  Just seems these extra revealing dresses are a staple in her closet for whatever reason.

Alrighty.

Their mom Tina was on hand in her usual red lipstick and black dress.

And the girls laughed it up all night while chillin' in their VIP hub in the club:

I see Ashanti still laughs like every comedian on earth just told the funniest joke of their career all at the same time.  I mean....really.  WHAT could be so funny each and every time girl?

Well isn't that....sweet.

And Ashanti, Shia, and their mom snapped some pics with Shia's friends:

Shia's friends always make for interesting thoughts.  But I digress.

Happy 22nd birthday Shia!

Beyonce Previews 6 Tracks, Set To Deliver "Groundbreaking" New Album This JUNE!

Posted: 03 Apr 2011 11:14 AM PDT

Rumors have been twirling harder than Sasha Fierce's bedazzled leotard that Beyonce is dropping a new album this year.  And, thanks to the head honchos over at Sony music reportedly getting to hear 6 of her new tracks recently, it looks like it's indeed going to happen this summer.

 

Details, and what the Sony execs REALLY think about her new project, when you read on...

She may have dropped her PAPAger last week, but Beyonce is coming out the gate with a vengeance this summer, this according to the execs at her label home Sony.

Reportedly, the pop queen unveiled six tracks from her fourth studio album to label bosses in New York last week, and said bosses are calling her work "groundbreaking."  AND....the LP will supposedly hit shelves this June!

"It was just amazing," Sony Music Australia boss Denis Handlin told The Daily Telegraph. "These songs, the best description I can give is groundbreaking.  She's gone to another level."

Beyonce is headlining the Glastonbury Festival this summer, so her album release may be set to coincide with that. 

Mrs. Knowles-Carter did say several months ago that she planned to create a new genre of music this time around.  So maybe she succeeded.  I'll be waiting uber impatiently to find out.

But what I already know is...these chicks in the game better hold on to their wigs, because the queen of all wig crypts is comin' for that ass....

BONUS: Designer Roberto Cavalli recently tweeted that Bey's 70's vamp "photoshoot" last week--where she rocked a Cavalli look--was actually a shoot for her first video off her new album.  

Hmmm.....

Floyd Mayweather & Lil Wayne Owe Uncle Sam + ESPN Suspends Jalen Rose

Posted: 03 Apr 2011 10:10 AM PDT

Lil Wayne and Floyd Mayweather have been hit with some huge tax bills and the IRS is looking for them to pay up. Read on to find out more about there financial woes plus find out why ESPN has decided to pull NBA basketball analyst Jalen Rose off the air...

According to RadarOnline, Lil Wayne's Miami mansion has been hit with its second lien. Back in December, the New Orleans rapper paid off a $1.1 million tax lien filed against the Miami property.

On Monday, Lil Wayne was hit with a new tax bill for $5.6 million on his Miami mansion.  The home is currently up for sale for $13 million and the IRS will probably snatch their share before Weezy gets to profit off the sale.

RadarOnline also reports that 'Pretty Boy' Floyd is facing some IRS issues. The extravagant boxer owes $3.4 million  for unpaid 2009 federal income taxes. This is also his second time having issues paying taxes. In 2008, he owed the IRS a $6.1 million tax bill but was able to work out a payment plan. 

 

I guess these dudes didn't see what happened to Wesley Snipes. They might want to spend a little less time partying and tipping strippers and try to get their finances in check.  Just sayin'....

In sport news,

The outspoken Jalen Rose has been suspended from ESPN. USA Today reports that sports analyst Jalen Rose has been pulled off the air after he waited almost three weeks to tell his employers about his arrest in Michigan on suspicion of drunk driving.

In an email sent to Game On!, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz wrote:

"Jalen has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Both parties are taking this very seriously, and as a result, we've agreed that he will not be on our air while he addresses this situation,"

Jalen has always been known for his controversial behavior and remarks. Hopefully, he lands on feet and quickly gets his groove back at ESPN because he brings a unique perspective to the show.

Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla were spotted frolicking on the beach in Malibu over the weekend and we have pics of the family fun inside.  Also, see a stranger's reaction to the sight of Halle in a bikini....he's speechless!

Halle and Nahla had some Mommy-and-me time in Malibu this weekend.

While Nahla ran around in a cute pink beach dress, Halle rocked a black and white print bikini and a sheer kaftan.

As they were having fun scanning the waters for treasure, Nahla made a new friend and they began discovering the secrets of the beach together. 

Then Nahla's new friend invited her Daddy to join in.  He's looking like he's thinking, "Damn....Halle Berry in a bikini!"  I'm sure that lucky little girl got TWO happy meals that day.

 

While Halle, Nahla and her new little friend were searching for sea shells...
 

Dude looked mesmerized by her lady lumps.  Olivier....come get ya girl!
