Posted: 21 Jul 2012 10:14 AM PDT


 

In extremely sad news, Tameka Raymond's son & Usher's stepson, Kile Glover, has reportedly been taken off child support... 

Tameka's last tweet was the above pic of her sons Kile and Usher V.  Our prayers are with Tameka as it is being reported that the family has taken 11-year-old Kile off of life support.

Atlanta radio hosts Greg Street and Frank Ski, both of whom Tameka is close with, have posted their condolences:

Kile has been on life support since earlier this month when he was involved in a jet ski accident.  He was riding on an inner tube on Lake Lanier when a family friend driving a jet ski accidentally collided with Kile and another young girl.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families.

FROM THE SCENE: Colorado Theater Shooting Victim Tells Witness Account, Says Friend Is Still Missing

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 09:40 AM PDT

In a sad witness account, 22-year-old Resharee Goodlow (pictured above) has spoken out to media about her missing friend who accompanied her to the Dark Knight Rises midnight showing on the tragic night of the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting.....

Resharee was able to escape suspected gunman James Holmes' hundreds of gunshots fired via 3-4 guns into the crowded theater in Aurora, Colorado during the midnight showing of Dark Knight Rises Thursday.  But her good friend, whom she went to the theater with, is still missing.

Resharee says she and her friend were not able to sit together due to the theater being mostly filled to capacity.  And when the gunshots started, she terrifyingly lost track of her friend.  She tells FOX News & The NY Daily News about having to escape while pushing through several bloody bodies:

“By the third gunshot I knew it was real,” she said. She remembers running from the theater and seeing people lying on the ground in blood-soaked clothes.  "I just don’t want to believe the worst,”

“I dropped to the floor,” Goodlow said. “I was just pushing everybody in front of me out the door.”
 

CNN reported that 10 of the 12 fatalities have still not been identified. 

More details about the shooter's actions have been revealed.  The Denver Channel states that he unloaded his .40 caliber and shotguns & rifles nto the crowd, after watching the movie for a few minutes and leaving, then returning in full battle gear.

According to sources, he had nine clips in an ammo carrier and police found at least three .40-caliber magazines, a shotgun and a large drum magazine on the floor when they arrived.

One source believed the ammo drum for the AR-15 had jammed sometime during the shooting.
Sources describe an eerie scene with dying and wounded people on the floor, strobe lights flashing through the smoke, screaming sirens and the Batman movie playing in the background.

The incident started with Holmes in the theater watching a movie for a few minutes. Witnesses said he left and returned dressed in the body armor and tactical gear, according to sources.

He threw what appeared to be tear gas grenades and began firing three weapons -- a 12-gauge shotgun, a .40 caliber Glock pistol and an AR-15 assault rifle, according to sources.

It has also been reorted Holmes took Vicodin a couple of hours prior to the evil tragedy.

BEACH BABES! Christina Milian & Baby Violet Get In Some Playtime In Miami

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 08:24 AM PDT

The utter cuteness that is Violet Nash made a beeline for the sand & sun as soon as mommy Christina Milian finished her swimsuit show work.  Pics of the ladies soaking up the sun and the waves in Miami inside, plus, Christina gets an apology from her ex-husband....

Flaunting her abs and petite curves, the singer and the social networker for "The Voice" hit Miami Beach yesterday afternoon in another sexy swimsuit.  Since Cuban cutie Ms. Milian is in the southern beach city to debut her swimsuit line, Havana Nights, it's only right she rocks some hot ones in front of the paparazzi cams.

After Violet got her cover-up off with mom's help, the ladies took their pails and shovels to the sand to build sand castles!  Oh to be a tiny tot with a mom who lives a life of luxury...


 

Looks like somebody wore herself out.

 

And Chris, of course, had to get in a pic for Instagram.
 

Last night, Christina finally showed off Havana Nights at The Raleigh during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, alongside designer Nicole Di Rocco :

Congrats Chris!

By the way, she also received an apology from her ex-husband and Violet's father, The Dream.  After their very public battle about Dream's lack of fathering skills--and his attack on Christina for being a gold digger--Mr. Nash has since apologized and said it was a misunderstanding.  And claims he was actually responding to a fan, not to Christina.  His words via Twitter:

“I just figured out people are attaching twitter things to Someone yesterday. Actually I was answering a Fan openly like I always do but Excluded they’re Name. So I’m sincerely Sorry if anyone was offended. Christina is a Good Parent and a Great role model. Just got back on twitter since yesterday had I known I was being watched by the feds. I would’ve put more thought that people would attach Any problems I have I call and discuss them and I desire the same. Didn’t know I was even important enough to be discussed. Its Sad I think People Love Tension and I won’t be playing this Game esp when a innocent child is involved.

This is why i argue to keep my Childrens lives as private as I can. Because the only people who actually care and should care are the people who made you..its a Mean World Can’t control what Christina Does all I can say is I wish her well and pray that in time we will heal. Because this helps no one. Love Always. Again sorry for the misleading info…. Even though I never attached her name or uttered her name in a Demeaning way. The truth is… Is all things need Time.

I have no strife with Christina for I know this life is To Long someXs you fght those u love most I’m sure none of what I’ve written that actually has a Name attached will get noticed. lol

I apologize 4 the Misunderstanding I’m way to blessed for that.Fasting on Negativity nothing but positive quotes will come from here, as I see my Voice is pretty loud these days lol”

So there we have it.

Stacey Dash Is SINGING Now? + Mariah Carey Is Getting CLOSE To Sealing Deal For "Idol" Judge

Posted: 21 Jul 2012 07:40 AM PDT

Oh, so Stacey Dash has turned to singing now?  The former "Single Ladies" star has a new dance song she's featured on.  And we've got it inside.  Plus, Mariah Carey is reportedly close to inking a deal to become an "American Idol" judge....

 

Stacey Dash posted the above pics on Twitter recently, holding her CD saying and chillin' with Emcee N.I.C.E (right), and said:

It's mastered...so excited to share my 1st baby with you all

What's she talking about you may ask?  A dance song she's singing on.  Yes, really.  It's called "Life of the Party (Dance Remix)" and it's originally Emcee N.I.C.E.'s track he did with Blake Smith--and now has added on the gorgeus Stacey Dash.  Check it:

 

The single hits iTunes on July 26th. You feelin' it?

 

In other (real) singer news, Mariah Carey must not be having much pillow talk with her hubby Nick Cannon these days.  Because even though he said a week ago "American Idol" doesn't have enough money to pay MiMi to be a judge, it looks like they actually might.  And Mariah's listening.

Deadline reports the uber talented mom of twins is nearing a deal with the singing reality competition show.  She's reportedly gunning for a $17 mill payday.  Damn!  And the deal is near final.

Now that J.Lo and Steven Tyler are out, Mariah would be indeed an amazing addition to the show.

Gymnast Gabby Douglas Nabs Sports Illustrated Cover With TEAM USA!

Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:55 PM PDT

The Olympic gymnast ladies have taken over the Sports Illustrated Olympic Preview issue. It's the first time in SI history that an entire US gymnastics team has made the cover.  And YBF chick Gabby Douglas is stepping into the spotlight.  Deets inside...

The Women's Gymnastics Team is getting the shine these days.  And with YBF chick Gabby Douglas front and center in the limelight, we're loving it.

SI was considering making Michael Phelps & the swim team or the basketball Dream Team the cover subjects, but the ladies won out.

16-year-old Gabby moved from VA to Iowa to train with Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson's coach, Liang Chow (she also trained at the famed Karolyi Ranch).  She was also featured on an NBC special Thursday night about her journey from nearly giving up on her sport to winning the Olympic Trials on July 1. It includes the sacrifices her mother and sister made so she could continue training.

Gabby's teammates Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney are all featured on the cover as well.

 

Work.

So...Alfonso Ribeiro Is Engaged.

Posted: 20 Jul 2012 04:04 PM PDT

In case you were wondering what cousin Carlton, aka Alfonso Ribeiro, was up to these days, he just popped the question to his girlfriend, Angela Unkrich.

 

Deets inside...

Alfonso Ribeiro, Will Smith's naive & preppy cousin on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and host of Game Show Network's "Catch 21," just got engaged.  He posted the above photo to his Facebook page saying:

I got engaged last night to Angela on Lake Tahoe surrounded by our dear friends and my daughter. Greatest day of my life.

Well isn't that special.  The two have been living it up in Tahoe all week, as Alfonso tweeted this before his engagement:

Hey everybody. I got engaged tonight to @angiesue224. Greatest day of my life. @23davidjustice and Vince Coleman to enjoy it with us.

David Justice is good friends with Alfonso? Interesting. 

Alfonso has a daughter, Sienna, whom he had with ex-wife Robin.  Congrats to the couple!
