PICS & VIDEO: Ludacris, Eudoxie, Monica & More SPLASH Over $10K At The STRIP CLUB!

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 08:42 AM PDT

Well this looked like a deleted scene from Luda's "Splash Waterfalls" vid.  Ludacris, his girlfriend Eudoxie and cousin Monica all took it to the place where ATL folks like to show how much money and class they really have--the strip club.

 

(Obvs NSFW) Pics and video from the rain of mula over massive booty inside...

Seems to be the new hotspot for date night. Rapper/actor Ludacris brought his hot girlfriend Eudoxie to Diamonds strip club in Atlanta Wednesday night.  And even made it a family affair with his cousin Monica:

Luda and his girl grabbed stacks of dollars out his red MCM backpack to throw on the hard working ladies working the pole.

Monica and her cute neon yellow skinny jeans posed it up with the couple. 

Oh?

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" stars Lil Scrappy and his girlfriend Erica Dixon were there.  Of course.

And their co-star Rasheeda joined them.  After the cast's big premiere party.

 

And in case you wanted to see the art of Luda dropping his cash on these chicks:

Looks like a zoo.  And not in a good way.

Meanwhile, Luda made sure to make an entrance as he and his girl pulled up in his and her convertibles:

Luda pulled up after Eudoxie in his Ferrari.  No need to take separate cars--but when you got it--why not?

And Luda posed it up with the birthday boy whose party it was that night--DJ Infamous

Looks like Luda had his stripper cake and got to eat it too....when he got home with his own bad chick that is.  Gotta love it.  Peep video from the night:

Nicole Murphy Talks About Her BOOB JOB, Says Eddie SUPPORTS "Hollywood Exes" And Is Cool With Her Fiance'

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 08:03 AM PDT

 

Nicole Murphy revealed that after five kids, she got her body back into shape with a little plastic surgery.  Find out what she's had done inside.  Plus, get Eddie Murphy's thoughts about her romance with Michael Strahan and new show "Hollywood Exes."   

Nicole Murphy was spotted out and about in L.A. yesterday in her cute cutoffs and tank and cardigan. 

It's no secret that the stunning 44-year-old "Hollywood Exes" star has a killer bod, but she revealed to Entertainment Tonight yesterday on their show that she had a little help along the way.  She said, 

"After nursing 5 babies, I had some saggy titties. When I had my fifth one, I said I'm getting some new titties."

And speaking of her upcoming VH1 reality show "Hollywood Exes," Nicole revealed that Eddie Murphy supports her new project. His approval makes sense because his step-brother, Vernon Lynch, Jr., is one of the producers.  I don't expect Vernon will throw any dirt on Eddie's name.  Or will he?

And Nicole also revealed that Eddie is pretty cool with her fiancee, Michael Strahan. And she says it's mainly because Michael is involved with their kids, so they keep it friendly.

 

Watch the trailer here:

BONUS:

Speaking of Michael Strahan, he posed with twins Tia Mowry and a 5-months-pregnant Tamera Mowry-Housley (rocking A Pea in the Pod maternity dress) during a VIBE event recently for Stars & Stripes.  Michael tweeted,  Great time with two of the coolest ladies on the planet!!

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 07:39 AM PDT

Baby Egypt Dean showed off his new braided up look yesterday as he and his moms and pops arrived at LAX before their flight back to NYC.

 

Pics inside of the sneaker rocking fam...

After performing at the City of Hope Gala in L.A. Tuesday night, Alicia hopped a flight with her 21-month-old son Egypt, her hubby Swizz Beatz, and her own mom Terri.  Clearly Alicia wasn't feeling the flashing lights (makeup free day?) and used Egypt to shield her face while entering the terminal:

How cute are Egypt's shoes though?

And the cutie cracked a smile while waiting to board:

Awww.  Alicia had a night out on the streets of New York as soon as they arrived for Nas' album release party last night.

 

Fun times!  Wonder what their plans are for Father's Day...

Black Hollywood lost a last night as actress and Def Comedy Jam alum Yvette Wilson passed away from battling Stage 4 cervical cancer.  Reports also revealed that Yvette was in need of a kidney transplant at the time of death.

Her passing was announced via Twitter by her best friend, "Moesha" co-star Shar Jackson. She first tweeted,

AFTERMATH: Karrueche Spotted Returning To Hotel Post-Fight + Rihanna Hides Her Face Out In NYC

Posted: 15 Jun 2012 06:40 AM PDT

If there was any beef between Meek Mill and Chris Brown--it's been squashed.  We're not sure the same goes for Chris & Meek's homie Drake. But it's a start  Check out Chris' tweet inside, plus the first pics of his girlfriend Karrueche making her way back to the hotel and Rihanna trying to stay hidden in NYC...

Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran--who was reportedly injured in Wednesday night's scuffle and allegedly was treated for a possible concussion--was spotted arriving back at her hotel Thursday night with Chris' entourage (sans Chris himself). 

She looked better than she looked early Thursday morning arriving back at the hotel just a few hours after the club fight:

It also seems like Kae will be in NYC longer than she planned--possibly due to the police investigation--because she tweeted about missing her brother's graduation:

So upset I'm missing my little brother's graduation.

Meanwhile, Chris' ex Rihanna--who the fight (at its core) with Drake was ALLEGEDLY over--was spotted trying to hide her face from the paparazzi last night in NYC:

She held on to her girl Melissa and kept her hoodie and shade draped over her face.  And we all know Rih is not one to hide from the cameras.  But with her name being in all the hoopla--we can't really blame her.

She seemed to be ok hours later when she was spotted leaving the 40/40 Club with friends:

 

Rapper Meek Mill's name has been thrown in the mix of who attacked Chris Brown at the club Wednesday night.  But it seems Chris isn't putting any blame on him. He tweeted:

Me and @MeekMill ain't on that bullshit. Real respect Real....

Chris also thanked his bodyguard Big Pat, who we posted an image of yesterday with a gash in his head likely after he was protecting Chris, saying:

Big Pat! Real Nigga... Love you boy!

Well isn't that nice.  Meek Mill was supposedly set to go on Funkmaster Flex's show last night on Hot 97, but it never happened.  Womp.

THE VIDEO: Chris Brown & Drake's FIGHT NIGHT Footage

Posted: 14 Jun 2012 06:36 PM PDT

Video footage from last night's fight night involving Chris Brown, Drake & Meek Mill has surfaced.  Check it inside...

 

Video footage from outside of W.I.P. nightclub has surfaced.

In the above video--This guy, who spent half the video trying to prove to us why he's too cool for school, taped footage of the fight that he has not yet released--but did release footage of Drake/Meek/Trey/Chris leaving in the aftermath. Skip to the 2:37 mark mark if you don't want to hear his recap.

The guy claims Drake popped a bottle on Breezy's head and it could be looked at as payback of sorts for what Chris did to Rihanna. He also said everybody calls Drake soft constantly, and he proved himself last night. His words, not ours.

NBC News now reports their sources tell them that Chris' girlfriend Karrueche was treated for a possible concussion.  And NBC also reports what Chris has told NYPD so far:

Brown was interviewed by police Thursday, sources tell NBC 4 New York, and disputed part of that account. He told police that he was approached by two men who asked him what his problem was with Drake, and told them that he had no problem.

Brown then told police that as he was leaving, several men stood in front of him on the dance floor and removed their shirts. Brown told police that he did not see Drake, sources said.

Sources tell NBC 4 New York that someone in the crowd threw ice, and then bottles were thrown.

Brown's bodyguard was struck in the head and Brown was escorted out of the club into a waiting car.

Five other people who were injured appeared to have no association with either singer.

At this point, a source says there's no indication Brown or Drake committed a crime.

More aftermath pics:

 

This is just getting messier.

EDIT: The second video previously posted is not of the venue W.I.P., despite what the owner of the video says.

CHRIS BROWN: I Was Brutally Attacked! + Chris' Pics BEFORE The Altercation

Posted: 14 Jun 2012 04:00 PM PDT

Chris Brown (well, his rep) is now speaking out about last night's bruhaha at W.I.P. in downtown Manhattan.  Chris maintained it was HE who was brutally attacked.  And other sources confirm Drake started it...and then left before ish got too real.

 

Deets inside plus pics of Chris partying inside the club before the altercation....

 

 

The pics above were sent to us by the video chick in the pic with Chris, Vanessa Ramirez, as they partied it up inside Greenhouse/W.I.P. last night before the altercation.

Chris still hasn't dropped any names about who gave him that chin gash in last night's club fight, but based on tons of other folks' first hand accounts, it's still easy to garner that Drake, Meek Mill, and others in their crew were definitely involved.

Apparently bottles were thrown from Drake/Meek's part of the club.  Several innocent clubgoers, including Chris himself, were injured.  Paparazzi spotted Chris' bodyguard today, Big Pat, outside of Chris' hotel room and he had a huge gash in his head that as just stitched up (pictured above).

CNN now reports via Chris' rep:

Brown, his model girlfriend Karrueche Tran and other friends "sustained several injuries," Brown rep Jeff Raymond said. "Chris and his party are cooperating with New York authorities who are pursuing this incident further."

Drakes rep stated earlier he was not involved in any physical altercation inside the club because he was busy walking out--conveniently at that exact time.

Reports also now say Drizzy pulled the uber lame move of talking mad sh*t and putting his middle finger in Chris' face while saying "I'ma whoop that ass"...which started the altercation...and then quickly made an exit when ish started to get real.

Chris Brown & Drake's Fight Night UPDATE, Drake Says He Never Physically Attacked Chris

Posted: 14 Jun 2012 12:43 PM PDT

As the love triangle turns...

 

Kinda.  Check out the updates on Drake & Breezy's big NYC fight night and Drake's interesting statement that he wasn't involved in the physical brawl in the club....

Drake's rep has now issued a statement that the "Take Care" rapper had nothing to do with the physical fight that went down inside of W.I.P. nightclub last night in Manhattan.  Why?  Because he supposedly was walking out of the club as the bottle throwing brawl was taking place. Other sources still confirm Drake & Chris (and Drake's MMG homie Meek Mill) indeed got into a war of words, though, right before the fight.

Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. He did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property.”

I personally am taking this "rep" and his statement with a grain of salt as he very likely wouldn't admit to his client partaking in the lameness of fighting in a club...over a chick.  Wouldn't be the first lie or twist a rep has told.

TMZ says their sources say the argument had nothing to do with the chick both of them have dated--Rihanna.  Despite the fact Chris & Drake have previously exchanged many-a subliminal tweet and there has been tension building.  Their sources also point the finger at rapper Meek Mill (pictured below with Drizzy) as the culprit who hit Chris with a bottle, which Meek has previously denied.

Drizzy was spotted leaving The London hotel (The London is the NAME of the hotel) on his way to the club before the crazy night, and he had several bodyguards in tow.  That must have been who Chris was talking about when he accused the unnamed fighter of hiding behind his people.

By the way, NYPD, who showed up to the club after several calls around 4am, confirms an altercation between the two camps indeed took place.  No arrests were made.  Chris' SUV was spotted outside the club late last night with blood dripping down the door handle.

Tisha Campbell-Martin DINES OUT With MYSTERY MAN & KIDS At FATBURGER

Posted: 14 Jun 2012 11:02 AM PDT

Tisha Campbell Martin was spotted out in LA recently with a mystery man who definitely wasn't her husband Duane and two children who definitely aren't hers.  Find out what they did inside....

 Over the weekend, Duane and Tisha Campbell Martin were all hugged up at a benefit for the New Village Leadership Academy in Calabassas, but recently Tisha was spotted out with a mystery man and two adorable kids at Fatburger.  

The mystery man looks slightly similar to Duane so he may be a family member and the kids are his.  But I'm sure Tisha took some food home to her own kids, Zeke and Xen

 

Tisha's husband has been embroiled in rumors that his relationship with Will Smith is the cause of Will & Jada's marriage being on the rocks...allegedly.
