SPOTTED: LaLa, Trina, Po And Dice SHOP And LUNCH It Up In Miami

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 08:29 AM PST

LaLa Anthony was spotted out doing a little retail therapy with friends Trina, Dice and Po yesterday.  See pics of the ladies inside......

Cameras rolling!  TV Personality LaLa went shopping with friends Trina, Dice and Po in Miami.

The shopping gals bought a few items from Alchemist.   And LaLa rocked her bell bottom jeans while Trina rocked bright a yellow jeans...which we're loving.

LaLa was wearing a microphone so she's still shooting scenes for her reality show.

 

 

Then the gals all went to lunch at Paul French Bakery for turkey sandwichs and salads.

 

And later last night:

LaLa, who recently launched a cosmetics line, threw at party with Rico Love at Club Rush.  And the club gifted her a makeup cake.  Cute!

THESE TWO AGAIN: Whitney Houston & Ray-J Spotted On A Dinner Date

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 07:37 AM PST

Just when we thought Whitney Houston and Ray-J had fallen out of touch...they were spotted on a dinner date together last night.  Rekindling their romance?  Pics of the twosome inside...

Last year (and the year before), Whitney and Ray-J were constantly seen together...holding hands and looking like more than just friends.  And they constantly denied anything romantic was going on.  I mean...she IS old enough to be his mother.  Not saying that's stopped folks before but just pointing it out.

Anywho, the Sparkle star and Brandy's brother were spotted having dinner at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood last night.  This comes right after Whit had dinner with her ex Bobby Brown and daughter Bobbi Kristina a few nights ago as well. 

And Whitney looked happy as pie.

They left the restaurant in Ray's Rolls Royce and headed home:

Mmhmmm.  We know that look...

PICS: June Ambrose Hits Up Jay-Z & Beyonce's Place For In-Home Fitting

Posted: 04 Feb 2012 06:19 AM PST

Fashion guru and Jay-Z's long time stylist, June Ambrose, was spotted Thursday arriving to the rapper's downtown NY home he shares with wife Beyonce (and new baby Blue).  All to prep for his upcoming Carnegie Hall gigs.

 

Pics and deets inside...

June skated (literally--her shoes are the high fashion version of ice skates) to the home of The Carters Thursday afternoon.  And though some thought all the Saks bags, garment bags, and bottled water were just Beyonce's workers doing chores--we actually spotted Ms. Ambrose herself amongst the pictures. 

And when Roc Nation & Jay-Z's DJ, Young Guru, tweeted about June's arrival, we put two and two together.  And Young Guru & June's twitter exchange spilled the beans as well:

Carnegie is Calling RT @young_guru: Getting fitted by @juneAmbrose. She is skating on you ladies with these shoes!!!!

These shoes!  They're the DSquared2's 'Skate Moss' boots ($1,485).  Jay is set to perform two charity concerts at Carnegie Hall on February 6th & 7th via his Shawn Carter Foundation to help NY's United Way charities. 

June, rocking a fab ensemble of plaid pants, a fur stole, a Miss Selfridge studded leather jacket, and a black Birkin, also revealed, "On the Hautehunt for slick kicks fit for a HipHop Sovereign..Stay tuned."

And she had her assistants and residential security help out too:

June is still shooting for her upcoming VH1 show "Styled By June," so maybe we'll get to see inside the fitting when the series premieres March 19th.  Fab times.

The Randomness:

1.  Lil Kim now owes the IRS over a MILLION dollars! STORY

2.  Drake's response to alleged ex-girlfriend's "Marvin's Room" suit is that the two previously struck an agreement she wouldn't be paid.  Hmmm.  STORY

Chrissy GOES IN On Yandy On Reunion Show Clip...Plus A "Love & Hip Hop" ATLANTA Spinoff CONFIRMED!

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 03:53 PM PST

Get ready y'all...."Love & Hip Hop" is headed to ATL for a spinoff!  Deets inside, plus a sneak peek of Chrissy reading Yandy her rights on the upcoming semi-reunion show....

 

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" is on the way...this according to VH1.  The network reportedly confirmed today that the beat-down having, ish talking, baby having, cat-fight loving show is headed down to the dirty south.

No cast has been set...but we can surely name SEVERAL people who will indeed jump at the chance to be featured on this ish.  Who do you think will be cast?

 

Meanwhile:

 

The "reunion" show is set to air February 6th.  But since the ladies, for whatever reason, couldn't bear to film in the same room together, it's done in separate clips. The drama was so extreme and the battles so intense that some cast members now refuse to be in the same room.

In the revealing one-hour special, the cast goes one-on-one with Executive Producer Mona Scott Young in which they speak candidly about this past season: Why did Somaya go missing on the show? Will Emily and Fab work it out? What did Yandy really write in her explosive e-mail? Will wedding bells really ever ring for Chrissy and Jim? And, most shocking of all, find out who quit the show and may be gone for good.

In the above sneak peek, you can see an outtake of Chrissy going in on Yandy and reminding her Yandy that she created a lane (this show) for her to get money....so she needs to check herself.  Womp.

The show airs Monday, February 6 at 8PM ET/PT.

The Randomness:

1.  Drake is getting sued by alleged ex-girlfriend Ericka Lee for using a recording of their phone call for his "Marvin's Room" track.  She says her voice on the track warrants co-writing credits.   STORY

BEACH DATE! LaLa & Kiyan Anthony's Miami Beach Play Date

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 02:35 PM PST

After a big 2 days of launching her new Motives For LaLa makeup line, LaLa Anthony took little Kiyan on the beach in Miami for a little mommy-and-me time.   Cute pics of the twosome inside....

It was all sand castles and wave dodging for LaLa & Kiyan today in Miami--complete with both a horde of paparazzi (who took these pics) and video cameramen copping footage for her VH1 show "LaLa's Full Court Life."

The uber cutie hit the beach in his Jordan brand gear.  And seeing that his daddy Carmelo has a line under the Jordan brand...it only made sense.

Just had Meagan Good flashbacks with these nameplate earrings.

Fun times indeed!

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 01:08 PM PST

NeNe Leakes (shown above on the set) wasn't too happy when she found out that actor Brian White had called her a racial stereotype" during a recent rant.  The "RHOA" star took to Twitter to defend herself and said maybe he's a little jealous that's she booking acting gigs!  See her response inside....

During Brian White's pissy rant about racial stereotypes on reality TV, he made a few negative comments about "RHOA" and "Glee" star NeNe Leakes.....and she's snapping back.

She defended "RHOA" saying they've never had a fist fight on the show and then added that "actors" seem to get upset with reality stars when they start booking acting gigs.  She just tweeted:

NeNe (who first appeared on "Glee" on Jan 17th) will make her second appearance on the hit tv show on Feb. 7th.  She tweeted,

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 12:33 PM PST

Model Bria Murphy was spotted out tending to her beauty routine of a mani/pedi with her little sister Shayne.  And Eddie & Nicole's daughters found themselves having to defend their dad's life today....

22-year-old Dark & Lovely spokeswoman Bria Murphy kept up her beauty routine in a nail salon in Beverly Hills yesterday.  But she hae had to spend her day today defending her fam.  Vicious twitter and internet rumors started up that her veteran actor father Eddie Murphy died.  Since there was no truth to the rumor, of course, Bria took to her twitter to clear it up:

My father is not dead! How did that rumor start up again?

And she RT'd a link to TMZ's story pointing out that the culprit of the rumor is a non-credible site known for making up celebrity death stories.

 

17-year-old Shayne tagged along with her big sis as well.

 

Rumor averted.

T.I. Hosts AKOO Fashion Show--Tiny, Keri Hilson, Kevin Hart, Cynthia Bailey, OMG Girlz And ALL T.I.'s Kids Support

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 10:50 AM PST

 

Tons of celebs came out for T.I.'s big AKOO Fashion Show last night in Atlanta.  And Mr. Harris made it a family affair by having his sons, Domani, Messiah, & King walk the runway and his step-daughter, Zonnique, perform for the occasion.

 

Pics of the celeb-filled runway show inside...

Last night at Reign nightclub in Atlanta, rapper T.I. hosted the Akoo (his clothing line) Fashion Show, sponsored by ReeBok and Grey Goose.  Comedian Kevin Hart and Kenny Burns were the hosts of the evening.  And celebs filled the place for the show, featuring none other than T.I. and Tiny's own sons as three of the models.

Tiny was there front and center to support her man of course.  We still don't spy a baby bump, but she rocked a cream and silver mini skirt and loose blouse for the occasion.  Tiny's homie/hairstylist Shaneika was there (right) and T.I.'s mom Violeta Morgan was also there to support (left).

"ATL Housewife" Cynthia Bailey, Kalenna, and Keri Hilson were all there front row. 

Can't decide if I'm loving Keri's look--it's a while lot going on.

By the way, Ms. Keri sang Happy Birthday to Messiah as he was celebrating turning 11.

Diddy's baby mama Sarah Chapman was there--sans daughter Chance.

And she was spotted rocking THIS fat rock on her ring finger.  I wonder who gifted that one.  Engaged much Sarah?  Hmmm....

Diddy's other baby mama Kim Porter was there before hitting up her own 3 Brown Girls eventearlier in the night.  Great look for her.

Tameka Raymond was also in attendance in a cute look for her.

TIP had his 14-year-old stepdaughter Zonnique (in blue) and her group the OMG Girlz perform:

And the girls watched the show from the front row afterwards:

Alrighty then.

Interesting look for Tiny. Not in a great way either.

Nice rock though.  She kicked it front row with her mother-in-law Violeta.

It's unclear if the twosome will show any footage from the show on an upcoming episode of their VH1 reality show "T.I & Tiny: The Family Hustle."

Former now divorced "ATL Housewife" Lisa Wu came out to support in this denim shirt dress.  Is it just me or is something different about the face....

Oh hey Eddie Winslow!  Darius McCrary was spotted at the afterparty all over the female he's pictured with above.  We assume (at least we hope) it's his new boo.

Messaih, Domani, and King making their runway debut:

Too cute!

And little Major was intent on joining his brothers it looks like, until grandma shut that down:

Ha!

TIP and his sons (left-right) Messiah, King, and Domani all chilled out post-show:

TIP's got some strong genes.  Cute little boys.

Awww.

Kevin Hart and Kenny Burns kept the crowd laughing.

Looks like fun times were had by all.

Posted: 03 Feb 2012 10:23 AM PST

Diddy and Misa Hylton were proud parents this week as their son Justin Dior Combs signed his letter of intent to play football for UCLA on a full scholarship.  Pics and deets inside...

Justin Dior Combs, the son of Diddy and Misa Hylton signed his UCLA letter of intent on Wednesday (National Signing Day) at his high school Iona Prep.  And his grandma Janice was there to cheer him on as well. 

The talented youngin' will attend the school on a full scholarship for football (worth about $54,000 a year).
And in accepting the full Division 1 scholarship to play at UCLA, he turned down offers from universities in Wyoming, Virginia and Illinois.

Speaking about UCLA, Justin said,

'It was love at first sight.  When I stepped on the campus, I knew I was going to be a player there. I knew I just had to get there.'

And the soon-to-be-freshman cutie has been putting in a lot of practice to prep for his start on June 24, even working out with Jets star Darrelle Revis.  He said, "It’s going to be surreal at first but then at the end of the day you’ve got to go to work and you’ve got to get what’s yours and show why you’ve been working hard."

Earlier in the day, his mom Misa tweeted, Today is going to be a great day!

Meanwhile, Diddy said, 'This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about.  Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream." 

He later tweeted about his other "son" Quincy's upcoming video shoot saying, Atten LA ladies my son Quincy is looking for YOU RT : Shooting my video "STAY AWHILE" in LA 2/6

Congrats to Justin and the family!
