| Amber Rose Confirms That She Meant What She Said About Kim Kardashian Cheating With Kanye Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:34 AM PST
After some folks doubted that she would really run to STAR magazine to tell her story of Kim Kardashian being a homewrecker, Amber Rose wants you to know that yesterday's story is nothing but the truth.
Check out Amber's whole article, plus why she finally revealed "the truth"....
Yesterday, a STAR magazine story came out quoting Amber Rose saying Kim K. indeed cheated on Reggie Bush with Amber's then-boyfriend Kanye West. Some folks doubted it authenticity. But it's real. Now that the video vixen is happy with her current boyfriend, who she calls her "husband," Wiz Khalifa, Amber says it's all true and she just had to get the past off her chest. Here's what she posted on her WhoSay page:
So there you have it. Her statements were all a part of her feature story about going from homeless stripper to the Hollywood life: Alrighty then... |
| FOOLYWANG MATERIAL: Man STABBED Because He Didn't Know Beyonce And Jay-Z Were Married! Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:14 AM PST  Brace yourselves, an argument about Beyonce and Jay-Z got so heated between two men that one of them was stabbed! Deets inside.... You might want to be up on your Beyonce trivia when speaking to Ronald Deaver, 31, of Cleveland. Cops say Ronald got into a fight with a man at his Garfield Heights apartment after the dude didn't know that singer Beyonce's husband is rapper Jay-Z. So what did Ronald do? He stabbed him! It happened on New Year's Eve and Det. Marty Compton of the Parma Police Department told the news that the victim is at MetroHealth Medical Center where he is in good condition. Ronald, however, was arrested for his actions. SMH...... I mean, we love Beyonce and all her wigtastic glory too. But damn. The foolywangness that ensues these days.... |
| Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:18 AM PST  Think Like A Man actor Michael Ealy stopped by Power 105's Breakfast Club earlier to talk about his latest film role, his love scene with Taraji P. Henson and his controversial character in For Colored Girls. Deets inside... Michael Ealy in making the rounds in NYC to promote his role in the star-studded Steve Harvey adaptation, Think Like A Man. While having some "man" talk with Charlamagne Tha God, Michael revealed that he had a sexy love scene with Taraji P. Henson, but it was a little uncomfortable! He added that though Taraji is gorgeous, he was forced to wear a "prop" that kept his penis from coming into contact with her. And there were people completely surrounding them. Awkward..... He also sparked a discussion about post-traumatic stress syndrome saying our service people have to deal with "a lot" they return home from war. He shared that his character in For Colored Girls did not know how to handle life's challenges and there was no one to help him process through. And what does he think about reality shows?
And when dating Halle Berry came up, he simply said,
Watch the interview below: The Randomness: 1. So Marc Anthony showed off his new girlfriend: a 24-year-old (just like J.Lo's Casper) Venezuelan model Shannon De Lima, who is the mother of a 4 year old. Story Sigh... |
| Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown ACCUSED By Baby Mama Of Holding 4-Year-Old Son HOSTAGE! Posted: 05 Jan 2012 06:51 AM PST  The baby mama of Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown has filed court docs claiming the baller took their son without permission and now he won't give him back to her! Deets inside..... According to Shameika Brailsford, NFLer Antonio Brown ran off with their four-year-old son Antonio Jr. months ago and won't even let her speak to him! Shameika recently filed docs in Miami claiming Antonio may not be properfly caring for their son in Pennsylvania and she's asking the court for an emergency child pick-up order. The order would require the cops to bring the child back to her in Florida. But Antonio's lawyer Jason Marks says Shameika is lying. TMZ spoke to Mr. Marks who said:
The couple are due in court very soon to sort this out. Sounds messy! But at least he is involved. *Kanye shrug*
The Randomness: 1. LeBron James REJECTS baker's $3,000 birthday cake! And she's pissed. Story. |
| Kanye West Wants To Recreate The World Through New Company & Revamped Education Posted: 05 Jan 2012 06:23 AM PST
Mr. West took to his twitter account yesterday, a rare occassion these days, to announce how he is about to change the world. Check out the gist of his 80+ tweets inside... Kanye West used his twitter account last night, after his dreams woke him up in London, to reveal his new company named after his late mother, how the billionaires need to re-shape the world, and how he wants to reform education to heighten our senses. He wants to pick up where Alexander McQueen and Steve Jobs left off. After getting inspired during his Watch The Throne tour with Jay-Z, Kanye said he was impressed with how many different walks of life were impacted by music. So he wants to revamp the world through a new creative company that heightens our musical, visual, and all our senses. He's named it Donda, after his late mother who was an English professor.
He continued:
He also revealed his new projects for the coming years: A new summer school with director Spike Jonze that prepares children for the real world and has majors starting in grammar school (and allows iPhones to be used for search engines), a new 7 screen visual experience (he says the WTT concert was a small example), a semi-sci fi project called 2016 OLYMPICS, and he wants to design the MTV Awards. Kanye revealed what he's been spending his money on these last few years...and it's not what you think:
How he ended his twitter convo, this quote: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw Loves it all. |
| Kimbella REVEALS She Wants To Get MARRIED, But Wouldn't WAIT As Long As Chrissy And Jim Did! Posted: 05 Jan 2012 05:27 AM PST  Fresh from our exclusive interview about her fight with Erica Mena, Kimbella is providing more comments about the engagement of Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones and revealing her own thoughts about marriage to her baby's daddy Juelz Santana. Get the deets inside.... Kimbella spoke about the recent engagement of Chrissy and Jim on "Love & Hip Hop," and she revealed a few interesting deets about her own relationship AND addressed rumors of Juelz cheating. Here are the highlights: On waiting for a man to propse to you: Umm…wait didn’t she wait like seven years or something like that? (laughs) That’s a long time! In my eyes, it’s no reason why someone can’t commit to being in a relationship, or even being married, after three to four years. But again, I don’t know their situation, so I can’t say, or do I even know why she waited that long. But with me, yes, I do want to get married, but when the time is right. A lot of women always say, oh if they don’t get married, they leaving, but when you in love, you just don’t know. On staying with Juelz if she found out he cheated: (I)f my man doesn’t have the strength and respect to tell me, and I have to find out from another source, yes, I would move on. I mean, I am dealing with someone who is in the industry, and I myself am in the industry, and I am not easy to deal with just like he isn’t easy to deal with. It works both ways, but Julez is very respectful.

| Rihanna Sells Her Pad For $5 Mill+The Dream Explains Why He WON'T Write For Ciara Posted: 04 Jan 2012 02:29 PM PST
Not only did Rihanna just go Gold with her latest album, Talk That Talk, but she just unloaded her problematic L.A. home for $5 million. Deets inside, plus what her good friend The Dream had to say about why he won't be working with Rih's frenemy Ciara... She purchased the home over 2 years ago. Yet hasn't even lived in it. Thanks to severe water damage, Rihanna had to put her 10,000 sqft, 8 BR, $6.9M home on the market 6 months ago. The Beverly Hills Post Office area home was listed at $4.5M, but was actually just sold for $5.03M. So she can celebrate her sell, plus her TTT album nabbing Gold certification on December 16th after surpassing 500,000 units sold. Congrats! Meanwhile, Rihanna's homie The Dream has some words about the Ciara drama he spoke about a while back. The writer and the "Promise" singer seemed to have been good friends kicking it courtside at games, making music together, and hanging out together. But Dream isn't trying to continue that ish. He told media a while back that he just wouldn't be writing for Ciara anymore, so folks assumed there was beef. But Dream told Tim Westwood from BBC 1Xtra in Part 2 of his interview, it's only because of contracts: “I have a contract under Def Jam so it’s only certain people I work with. [The executives] were real smart by putting that in there, I made them pay for it.” By the way, L.A. Reid recently said Ciara's new album is coming along. Check out the full interview below:
Also, Dream just tweeted the new cover for his new single "Roc," which should drop by this Friday:
Check it. |
| So Evelyn & Chad Have HALTED Wedding Plans...Because CHEATING Is Suspected? Posted: 04 Jan 2012 01:47 PM PST
So there are new reports that "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada and Patriots baller Chad Johnson are on the outs. All because Evelyn, supposedly, has suspected Chad of being unfaithful. Shocker.
Deets inside... TMZ reports Evelyn thinks Chad has been cheating, so is now putting the red light on wedding plans. Things haven't been called completely off, reportedly, but it's all now up in the air:
Sounds like one (or both) of their camps are feeding smoke and mirrors to the media in hopes of intriguing a network to pick up and pay for their reality show. Especially since Evelyn has been tweeting with Chad as she normally does, including pics of the two together (above), as recently as yesterday. Time will tell.... |
| OH REALLY: Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade Cover The FEBRUARY 2012 Issue Of ESSENCE Magazine Posted: 04 Jan 2012 12:33 PM PST
Well...this ought to get interesting. For their LOVE focused February 2012 issue, ESSENCE magazine tapped Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and his girlfriend, actress Gabrielle Union, for the cover.
Pics and deets on the Love & Basketball issue inside... While rocking a gorgeous yellow gown, Gabby Union is covering the Love & Basketball issue of ESSENCE with dapper white dinner jacket wearing man over 4 years, Dwyane Wade. The full-time father of two commented about he and Gabby not rushing into marriage saying: “We’re not rushing it. Both of us have been married before, and we understand that if we choose to marry again, we want it to be right. We both took failing at marriage hard. The next time it’s gotta be forever…” The twosome are opening up about their controversial love (i.e., getting together before Dwyane filed divorce papers from wife Siohvaughn Wade) in the issue. And Gabby is set to star in Tyler Perry's upcoming Good Deeds movie, as well as Steve Harvey's Think Like A Man. Despite the fact these two make a totally hot couple, to say the least, we have a feeling not everybody's going to be on the bandwagon. Essence says about the cover story:
The issue hits stands January 12th. Your thoughts? Photographer: Matthew Rolston |
| SERIOUSLY? The Black Mafia Family Wives Have A Reality Show? Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:18 AM PST
When the "Basketball Wives" reality show showed you can go from a former girlfriend/baby mama all he way to pseudo fame, it apparently opened the doors for all types of "wives" shows.
Deets inside on the "Black Mafia Family Wives" reality show that just wrapped filming...
We've already got the Mob Wives and everything else. So why not have the BMF Wives on tv right? Sighs. Big Meech, the head honcho of Detroit's infamous BMF who was made a household name thanks to Ricky Rozay, may have some of his personal business exposed in this new show. Despite the fact we already know about his cocaine dealings that landed him in jail years ago on a 30-year-sentence.
Meet the ladies, thanks to the folks over at Ozone, who shot the "Married To The Game" reality show. Some have served time, one is an actual wife, and one was caught up with Kim K.'s ex-husband, who was also caught up with BMF himself:
Is it just me or do these girls look like a remake of the 90's group Total? Cast member Lisa Buford, who calls herself the "hottest Hollywood barber," gave a statement via twitter about what the show was about:
Also, the show was produced by Strange Fruit Media, who has done shows for BET and more. |
| MONEY HANDLIN': Angela & Vanessa Simmons Owe $450K In Back Taxes Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:05 AM PST
Russell Simmons' nieces are having a few money probs. Angela & Vanessa Simmons have been slapped with tax liens by the IRS and the state of California. All to the tune of over $450,000!
Deets inside...
Running a business is hard work. And when you have accountants and managers handling your books and taxes, it's easy for things to get overlooked and to get past you. But when you owe over $450,000...ish can get real. And isn't good for your heiress image. The Detroit Press just reported that 24-year-old Angela & 28-year-old Vanessa have a rap sheet of tax liens which posted in 2011: The IRS filed a $26,658 tax lien against Angela Simmons on Dec. 22 with the New York City Register. Angela's rep hasn't responded to request for statement. Doubt the girls are lacking in the mula department. But staying on top of finances is all a part of business...
