The Young, Black, and Fabulous

The Young, Black, and Fabulous


CAN YOU SPOT THE CELEBRITY KINDERGARTENER?!

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 10:00 AM PDT

We got our hands on a certain celeb's Kindergarten class pic from their '94-'95 school year.  Can you spot which of these tots grew up to be one of the most recognizable names in the biz?

 

The reveal when you read on....

 

Wait for it......

 

Wait for it......

 

IT'S CHRIS BROWN!  He and his mischievous smile snapped his class photo in the mid-90's at Tappahannock Elementary School in VA.

He was probably that kid in your class who constantly thought the stage in the cafeteria was for him to dance and sing on for your lunch time entertainment. 

Oh Chris....

VIDEO FAB: Kelly Rowland Ft. Lil' Wayne's "Motivation" + Weezy Cancels European Appearances Over Denied VISA

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:17 AM PDT

 

Kelly Rowland has released the video for "Motivation" off her upcoming solo album and we have it for you inside.  Also, find out why Lil' Wayne is getting shut out of Europe...

 

The video is set in a warehouse and has a sleek and sexy industrial feel to it.   Talking about the video, Kelly said,

"I'm aiming for a very sexy, feminine video and I'm looking for womanly, sexy designs.  Sarah Chatfield directed it and Frank Gatson did the choreography. We came up with the energy, and with Frank - and I don't know how he sees something, but he got it."

Model Jessica White gets sexy in the video as well.

Watch the video here:

We feelin' it?

 

Speaking of Lil Wayne...

His European fans won't be seeing him anytime soon since he was recently denied a VISA to enter Europe with his I Am Music II tour.  He was denied the VISA based on his recent weapons charges as Europe is known for being very strict.  So he won't be touring that country as of right now kids.

Others, like Snoop Dogg and Chris Brown have also had problems obtaining VISAs due to their legal issues.

 

Evelyn Lozada Doubles Her "BBW" Salary + Game's Corvette Got Repossessed + Flavor Flav's Chicken Shack Checks Are Bouncing

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:21 AM PDT

 

Not only will Evelyn Lozada be back for "Basketball Wives" Season 3, but she received a big pay increase.  Find out the deets on Evelyn's bank account, plus get deets on The Game's repossessed Corvette and Flavor Flav's bouncing checks...

All of last season's hair pulling, drink throwing, face slapping, and Twitter beefing paid off for Evelyn Lozada as TMZ reports that the future Mrs. Ochocinco has doubled her salary.  Sources say she didn't get the $20k per episode she wanted, but she is very pleased with her new salary.  

Also, we may see a kinder gentler side of Evelyn next season now that producers apologized to her for how she was portrayed last season.  Hmmm....a softer more friendly Evelyn?  Then what's the point of the show? It was pretty much the only thing saving this "Basketball Wives" show that has no wives.

 

In other news, somewhere on a car lot in California...

 

About three years ago, The Game fell in love with a tricked out Corvette that he leased.  He recently went on tour and the car's lease expired.  By the time he got back in the States, the repo man was on the way to his crib to take the car last week.

When The Game was asked how he felt about the repossession, he pretty much laughed it off and said he had so many cars he couldn't be bothered to worry about that one.

Maybe that's the prob?

 

 

And at a deep fryer somewhere in Iowa...

All is not well at Flavor Flav's Chicken in Clinton, Iowa.  Either business is not great or the money is being mishandled.  Either way...the employee's checks are bouncing

Two employees, Kelly Butler and Kim Kostka, told Iowa's WQAD television that they are owed three weeks of pay after banks refused to accept their pay checks.  In fact, one bank gave them a letter saying the funds weren't available.  

When asked about the funds, Flavor Flav said,

"It's not true information first of all, and second of all maybe these are people that's just jealous of me being here and probably want to see me out.  Yes, we do have money in our accounts."

Despite what Flav said, WQAD reported that several other employees--who wanted to remain anonymous--also came forward and said their paychecks bounced. 

Can't say I'm surprised...

BIKINI ROMP: Serena Williams Gets Black & White Bootyful On Miami Beach

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 06:24 AM PDT

Serena Williams is showing off her best off-the-court assets at the beach these days.  She's still recovering from her embollism scare, but she didnt let that stop her from slipping on a black and white bikini and chillin' with her girl Val.

 

Get an eyeful when you read on....

She spoke recently about feeling depressed being all couped up during recovery and having to go through multiple foot surgeries.  So Serena's escaped the confines of her couch to enjoy the beachy weather in Miami.

Her bod still looks in tip top condition too.

Serena packed up her red Chanel bag once the beach stint was done and was escorted away by a golf cart:

Nice.  Loves 'Rena.

GUESS THOSE FOOLYWANG FEET!

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 05:57 AM PDT

 

Guess which celebrity tweeted a pic of her swollen feet and boils last night? See the sparkling mystery chick with foolywang feet when you read on......

It's Wendy Williams!  The "DWTS" contestant tweeted the pic before after she and her partner, Tony Dovolani, scored at whopping 15 for their Foxtrot.  Maybe if she gets those feet handled they can get a higher score?  She added, "feet don't fail me now."

Sigh....Wendy really is trying and I love her for putting herself out there and taking on a new challenge.  

Nevertheless, she remains upbeat throughout the whole process.  Before the show she also told fans,

"Getting good hair then more mkup then spray tan. Tonight is personal story dance. 'Shouts to my radio days fans who knw exacly whre i come & how hard i fought to get here. WATCH ME MOVE!!"

Keep trottin' Wendy....

*UPDATED* DJ Mister Cee Responds To Male Prostitute Allegations, Tweets It's An NYPD Conspiracy

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 02:49 PM PDT

 

We told you earlier about Hot 97's DJ Mister Cee being arrested for lewd conduct, now he's responding via Twitter. See what he has to say about the incident and the NYPD inside....

 

*UPDATE* Despite his places of employment such as MTV and Hot 97 reporting Tweets from this "Real_MisterCee" account themselves, Mister Cee claims he does not have a Twitter.  Believe what you'd like.

 

Earlier today, we reported that Hot 97's DJ Mister Cee aka Calvin Labrun was arrested last week for allegedly receiving oral sex from a 20-year old male prostitute in a parked car.  Now, Cee is responding via Twitter.  He says there is an NYPD task force that is out to get hip hop artists and DJs (we've heard this before) and he seems to imply that he believes his arrest was a part of that. 

He just tweeted an hour ago:

Never was i in a car with anyone when i was detained.. The facts will come out and show what is being reported is totally untrue.

MTV.com, though, confirms via the actual arrest report they found, that Calvin was indeed arrested last week for public lewdness.  Earlier, he tweeted:

 

 

But before that, he tweeted a few more statements which could be interpreted as veiled threats.  First he said,

Time to clear my name NY .. Stand Up Brooklyn they shootin ( Haters ) this is my city you can't hurt me lets gooooooooo

Then he said,

Like @Kingjames said.. "I'm Taking Notes" all those that wanna jump on the NYPD bullshit bandwagon i will remember "ALL NAMES" *Shots Fired*

And he also said....

Anyone that has any issues with me can see me at 12:00PM Mon-Fri up at #Hot97 (Dial411 Easy To Find) ( Mister Cee ) say what ya got to say

 

*SNAPS*

I understand he might be upset about the arrest and people saying negative things about him, but I DOUBT he wants to add assault and battery to his rap list.   Just sayin'..

But the NY Daily News is now reporting that Mister Cee was busted for prostitution loitering a few times before this:

"...was busted in lower Manhattan last Oct. 8 and Nov. 20, both times for loitering for the purpose of prostition. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after the October arrest. Charges in the November case appear to have been dropped."

 

Hmmm.....I see this ain't the first time Mister Cee....

 

 

 

OH BABY! Laila Ali Welcomes Baby Girl Sydney!

Boxing queen Laila said in a statement today:

"After a long day of labor, I had a healthy baby girl, Sydney J. Conway," said the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant.

"We are both very tired, but we fell in love the moment we laid eyes on each other. I feel so blessed and overwhelmed with love and excitement. Can't wait to get to know her!"

And tweeted soon after giving birth:

 

I just KNOW little Sydney's a cutie patootie. 

 

Sydney joins older brother Curtis "C.J." Conway, Jr., who is two-and-a-half.  And three half-siblings from former NFLer Curtis Conway's previous relationship: 15-year-old twin brothers Cameron and Kelton and an 11-year-old sister named Leilani.

3 YEARS & COUNTING: Beyonce & Jay-Z Get ANNIVERSARY FAB In The Bahamas

Posted: 04 Apr 2011 09:58 AM PDT

Cue up the Tony! Toni! Tone!  The Carters are celebrating their 3 year wedding anniversary today Caribbean style.  The couple skipped over to the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas for some low-key R&R.

 

Pics of the fab twosome when you read on...

Beyonce was spotted arriving to the Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas in a big floppy hat shielding her face from the ever-present paparazzi eyes.  She rocked a cute aqua short jumper as she hopped off the plane with her hubby Shawn Carter. 

The couple is celebrating their 3 year wedding anniversary today.  And what better way to do so than some fun in the sun with your boo.

Both will probably be headed back to the states soon as Bey is prepping her fourth solo album release for this summer, and Mr. Carter is dealing with issues with the NBA and a lawsuit over his Roc logo.  His collabo album with Kanye West, Watch The Throne, is supposedly dropping soon as well.

 

By the way, Sean Paul denies rumors that he's written a book with dish on dating Beyonce in the past, which supposedly led to Jay banning him from ever performing with his Mrs.  In fact, Sean Paul says he hasn't written a book at all.  So there you have it.
