The Young, Black, and Fabulous


Cassie Gets A Sexy Edge For BWATT Magazine

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 09:55 AM PDT

Cassie Ventura is looking sexy and fabulous in the new BWATT Magazine.  The singer and main boo (we think) of Diddy's dons a few beautiful looks for the cover shoot.  And we've got some sneak peeks inside...

 

 

She's been trying to find her "King of Hearts" lately, and the pretty modelesque pop singer is gearing up for promo runs for her upcoming album Electro Love.

So in the upcoming second issue of the new publication BWATT Magazine, Cassie rocked a beautiful and cool shoot and personal interview.  She tells the tale about her new album and her life right now.

 

About the  life experiences, challenges and gifts she's scooped up along the way of becoming an artist, Cassie explains in the issue:

I think every moment good and/or bad has shaped me. A terrible performance, an amazing one. Losing friends in my life, making new ones. I change every day and I've learned to take the good with the bad and make positive out of every experience.  If I cared at all what people thought of me, I would just want them to say that I'm resilient.

Check out a few more sneak peeks:

Hot.  Check out the full issue at BWATT Tumblr today.

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HEAR: Derwin Stays! Pooch Hall RETURNS To "The Game"

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 09:02 AM PDT

Ready to write off "The Game" for good?  Not so fast guys.  Pooch Hall has just officially signed on for Season 6 of "The Game." 

 

Pooch made the announcement a couple of weeks ago, but people still didn't catch on.  Now he's letting everyone know and speaking on his return inside...

Months ago, folks were shocked to learn that both Tia Mowry & Pooch Hall (who play lead couple Derwin & Melanie Davis) of "The Game" were leaving the show.  Tia's definitely not returning.  But in a crazy turn of events, Pooch IS.

The actor was working out a way for him to star on both his Showtime series "Ray Donovan" he had just signed on to as well as "The Game," at the same damn time.  Not sure why this caused friction as Coby Bell, who plays Jason, has been playing on two shows as well for years now.

But Pooch just got the greenlight to return after working out a deal with BET to do both of his shows.  Which means Derwin will be lacing up those cleats once again.  He tweeted recently:

 

And for some reason people still are unaware that he's returning.  So Pooch tweeted a few days ago:

Its official... who said Pooch wont be back on I will send pics from the set to Prove it, in the fall. Love u guys...

Are we feelin' this return?

 

Kim K. Reportedly HONORED To Be Kanye's "Perfect B*tch"...No One Is Shocked

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 08:12 AM PDT

 

In news that shocks no one, Kim Kardashian is "honored" and pleased to be idolized on her boyfriend Kanye West's new song "Perfect B*tch".  And since he confirmed he made the song 100% about her--that's music to her ears.  Deets on what she allegedly told friends about the tune inside...

According to TMZ, Kim K. is overjoyed to be called her boyfriend's "perfect b*tch" on a record.  As we reported yesterday, Kanye created the song about why his girlfriend is so flawless and is the definition of perfect.  And now that 'Ye has schooled us all on how thirst can lead to perfection...Kim is telling her friends she's "honored" by the terminology: 

Kim is telling friends, "I'm honored. I love it," adding, "I know he doesn't mean it in a negative way when he says the word 'bitch.'"

Yesterday, Kayne tweeted, "I wrote the song 'Perfect Bitch' about Kim." Interestingly, the tweet was later deleted.

But Kim feels great about it, saying, "The song talks about how he was with so many other girls but could never find the right one until he met me."

Kim is also real pleased about the way Kanye describes her body in the song.

Anything that strokes their ego...and we mean ANYTHING...makes these two hot in the pants.  Maybe they are perfect for each other after all...

Hosea Chanchez SUITS UP For DENIM MAGAZINE's Fall 2012 Issue

Posted: 08 Aug 2012 07:36 AM PDT

In the fall issue of DENIM Mag, "The Game" star Hosea Chanchez gets suited up for fashion. See highlights inside......

"The Game" star Hosea Chanchez donned a few dapper threads for the latest issue of DENIM Magazine.  Inside, he dishes on his long distance relationship and how he makes it work.  And how he's nothing like his playboy, arrogant, self-centered character "Malik Wright":

Highlights:

DENIM: How is your “Malik Wright” character different from who you are?
HC: I am totally different from my character, Malik. The only similarities we have are being raised in a single-parent home. I’m a nice guy.

DENIM: Spin the threads. Are you dating and if so...who is it?
HC: Yes, but I’m not telling! (laughs) It’s her life too. I will tell you that we’ve been together off and on for about...well I’ll just say it’s been a while. (laughs)

She lives in New York and is in the fashion industry- that’s all I’m saying! (laughs) I’m in a long distance relationship.

DENIM: How is this long distance relationship working?
HC: It’s HARD! She use to live here [L.A.], but now she’s in New York working. You know it’s crazy when people meet up and life takes you in a different direction and you see that person a little differently than you did before. There’s an appreciation...now and then again...Having that distance can possibly be too comforting to me, but I don’t want to think about it in that way. We’re just in a good space right now and luckily I can afford to travel and so can she.

 

Looking good Hosea!

Wait for it....

The soon-to-be 5-year-old is Lael Rose....and her celebrity parents are singer Tamia & NBA baller Grant Hill!  Tamia Tweeted the pic of her daughter today to show off how she plays in mommy's closet.  How cute!

 

Wiz Khalifa Says Amber Rose WILL Have His Baby.....Just NOT NOW!

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 02:33 PM PDT

Wiz Khalifa has revealed that he definitely wants kids.  And despite rumors that his fiancee Amber Rose has been sporting a baby bump lately, he denies she's carrying any Baby Wizes.  For now.  Deets inside.....

 

 

During an interview on the Q Deezy Show on Philly's 107.9, Wiz Khalifa discussed his boo Amber Rose and said he wants her to be the mother of his kids.  But even though she's been looking suspiciously with child lately with a rounder bod and no more dyed hair, he says she's not pregnant...yet.  The "Work Hard Play Hard" rapper told Q Deezy:

"I want babies. I definitely want to have kids for sure. Oh, you all think Amber's pregnant? Cause I've been asked that. I'm saying here that is not what people think it is. But, she will have my baby in life, and you guys will know when she's pregnant. But it's not the time now for people to start going crazy."

The leader of the Taylor Gang added that he's loving the (almost) married life and even researches it.

"It's going awesome, man. The married life, I feel like I'm already married." "I read books and s--- like that. Like there's this book called 'Things I Wish I'd Known Before [We] Got Married.' That's a good book 'cause it just tells you a lot about being selfless and really, really communicating. And know when you get upset, just talking about it and letting them know why you're upset."

 

So no baby yet.  Amber's just in love and letting go--a bit--of that bold video vixen look.  She's on the wifey tip now.  And seems like Wiz really has his head on straight when it comes to his relationship.  We're sold on it.  We know we know...sue us.

Here's the full interview below:

Kanye West Says..."Kim Kardashian Is My Perfect B*tch"

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 01:01 PM PDT

I guess we should all....applaud....or something?  Kanye West took to his Twitter today to confirm his new possibly romantic song he leaked in a club last weekend called "Perfect Bitch" is one he wrote about his girlfriend Kim K.

 

Deets inside...

While Kim is likely clapping her hands and seeing hearts and stars twirl in from of her eyes while listening to the song--all we've got is a blank stare.

The full song has not yet been released, but we have a pretty good idea of what it's about.

The Daily News says, "the lyrics are about his search for the perfect woman and how he has now found the 'perfect bitch.'"   Oh.

Apparently we no longer need to aim for having an actual talent in life as Mr. West has told us the way to be perfect is to be his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian.

The song "Perfect Bitch" appears on the upcoming Cruel Summer (September 4) compilation album from G.O.O.D. Music.  And Kanye let a few NY club goers at PH-D Rooftop Lounge hear a bit of it last weekend.  The song--which he also produced in the same style as his Watch The Throne tracks--indirectly references Kim & ex-girlfriend Amber Rose

Meanwhile, Kanye just confirmed to everyone via Twitter saying:

So, if you were ever wondering to yourself, "What is the definition of perfect?"  Mr. West may have shed some light on what that is.  In his own romantic (we guess that's what he was going for but failed) way.  I guess we should whip out our own camera crews, scoop up an unsuspecting baller, and find us a stage mom to do the dirty work so we can get started on the road to perfection too.  Thanks for the tip 'Ye!

 

JUST DOING HER: Rihanna Parties It Up In Barbados

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 12:33 PM PDT

Not feeling Rihanna's recent sexed up, smoked out, party hard image? She's run out of f**ks to give. According to Rih Rih, she's tired of portraying a particular image just to please others, so she's doing her.

 

Check out her pics of her partying it up back home in Barbados, and she responded to the NIVEA's parent company CEO's criticism of her image--even though she used to be a face of the company....

Rihanna's been back on her home island for several days partying with her bestie Melissa and friends and fam:

She wrote, "Us being us" and "me being me" while posting pics of her and Melissa scantily clad and smoking and drinking from a  pail at some island parties.

 



Rih & Melissa snapped pics with Capricorn who was there with them.

Rihanna signed a 1-year-deal last year with NIVEA Cosmetics Company (which she already completed her year-log responsibilities for) to be the face of their 100th anniversary year.  And even though she looked sweet and innocent in the adverts, the CEO said her deal should have been a no-go, based on her raunchy music and image.

Stefan Heidenreich, the new CEO of Nivea's parent company Beiersdorf told German newspaper Welt: "Rihanna is a no go.  I do not understand how to bring the core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna.  Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability."

Interestingly, in the midst posting all her party pics, Rih posted a pic of Mr. Heidenreich and said "No caption necessary":

SPORTS: Terrell Owens LANDS 1-YEAR Contact With Seattle Seahawks + President O. HOSTING Fundraiser With Basketball Greats Michael Jordan & More

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 10:58 AM PDT

Terrell Owens is officially a "baller" again after signing a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.  Get the deets inside and find out about President Obama throwing a fundraiser featuring some of the most decorated athletes of all time.

 

 

Terrell Owens has another opportunity to have a career in the NFL...and to pay off his ridiculous debt thanks to back child support...as he's just signed with the Seattle Seahawks for a one-year contract reportedly worth $1 million.

On Monday night he tweeted: “God is good. Thankful. Grateful. To ALL my new teammates & the "12th Man"... Let's Do This!!”

His tryout went great.  But not everyone is happy for T.O.  The Seattle Times’ Jerry Brewer said:

“It's like the Seahawks are determined to test the sturdiness of what they've built before the renovations are complete. It's like they want their three-man quarterback competition to be as stressful as possible. Still, you have to wonder if any of Owens' five former teams have exited the T.O. Experience feeling like his talent was worth the sideshow.”

We'll have to see T.O. prove the critics wrong this season.  But we know a few of those baby mamas are jumping for joy...

 

Also in sports.............

 

On August 22nd, President Obama will host a campaign fundraiser featuing basketball greats Michael Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, Sheryl Swoopes, Alonzo Mourning, and Patrick Ewing, just to name a few.

Campaign contributors will automatically be entered into a drawing to decide which lucky supporerts will get to go to the event, shoot some hoops, and watch the Obama Classic.

Visit President Obama's campaign site to enter the drawing.  Mr. President is bringing out the big dogs this re-electon season....
