One of Black Hollywood's most eligible bachelors wasn't really eligible at all!  Get the deets on Michael Ealy's secret wedding inside....

In a shocking revelation to PEOPLE magazine, hearthrob actor Michael Ealy revealed that he wed Khatira Rafiqzada, his girlfriend of four years, back in October.

The couple had a private ceremony in LA and decided to remain mum about the nuptials so they could enjoy being newlyweds out of the public eye. His rep said,

"Michael has always been a private guy, and he wanted to enjoy his time as a newlywed with his wife privately.  Now that some time has passed and the holidays are here, he wanted to share the news with his fans that he is married and very happy."

 

Fans of Michael can catch him on his USA series "Common Law."

Singer Kelis put her foodie skills to use yesterday as she helped launch the first The Melt restaurant in Los Angeles. Check out our fave bossy chick grilling up some cheese inside...

In between working on her new album, Kelis always finds the time to cook up some good food.  And since the "Milkshake" chick is also a certified chef and graduate of the Cordon Bleu, it's only right she was brought on to help celebrate the launch of the new L.A. version of the restaurant.  And she helped the chefs make the restaurant's cheesy sandwiches:

She made some yummies with the founder Jonathan Kaplan, who is best known as the founder of the The Flip video camera.

She put her culinary skills to the test and whipped up an untraditional dessert s'more melt. Cheesy times! She looks great.

MUSIC FAB: Fantasia's "Lose To Win" Track + Radio Station SLAMS Keyshia Cole For "THINKING" She's A Headliner!

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 07:31 AM PST

Fantasia has released a new single to close out 2012 called "Lose To Win." Listen to the song inside and find out what radio station "checked" Keyshia Cole for thinking she was their headliner.

 

As the Barrino family offers comfort and support to Joseph "Teeny" Barrino, who was recently robbed at gunpoint, Fantasia has released some new music to close out 2012.  Her new song, "Lose to Win" takes her in the new direction of the "rock soul" that she spoke about earlier.  

Listen to "Lose To Win":

 

 

In other music news.....

Singer Keyshia Cole was really pissy about 106KMEL in her hometown of Oakland, CA asking her to open for The Weeknd, a singer who's resume is a lot shorter than hers.  She took to Twitter to express her frustration....

Photobucket

 

But 106KMEL attempted to "check" Keyshia by telling TMZ that they had NEVER booked her as a headliner.  They said

“We were surprised to see Keyshia Cole’s Tweets the night of our show ... as she was never scheduled to be the show’s final act.  When we were notified a week before her performance that she planned to cancel, we immediately removed her name from all advertising and promotion and offered refunds to those fans who requested."

Hmm....sounds pretty suspicious.  We're sure Keyshia's people asked AHEAD OF TIME where she'd fall in the show's lineup.  

 

BIKINI CHRONIC: Rihanna's REAR END Pics From Barbados

Rihanna was seen lounging in a sexy green and gold bikini recently and the focus was all on her bottom. See the pics inside....

Photobucket

After her performance on "The Voice" Rihanna jetted off to Barbados for a little fun in the sun.

Photobucket

And the awaiting paparazzi took full advantage of RiRi's tiny bikini....snapping up tons of rear end shots.  

   Photobucket 

Photobucket

Rihanna didn't seem to mind and even appeared to "play up" a few shots for the cameras.   

Photobucket

Photobucket  Photobucket

And though best friend Melissa Forde was along for the ride, she seems to be a little pissy at Chris Brown, so we're wondering if he'll pop up at some point as rumored.

 

See Rihanna's bikini in motion here:

 

And.....

Photobucket

In case you were wondering what Bad Girl RiRi does when the cameras aren't around, she posted this pic to confirm her love of the trees.

 

 

BONUS:

Photobucket

RiRi tweeted this pic with a "#thuglife" caption, and though we know she loves the chronic, we don't think it's her rear.  So who's rear is it?

SERIOUSLY? Frank Ocean's FATHER Wants To SUE Him For $1 MILLION Dollars + Fantasia's Brother ROBBED At Gunpoint!

Frank Ocean is upset that his father is making plans to sue him for $1 Million dollars.  Get more infomatiion inside and find out about Fantasia's brother being robbed at gunpoint....

R&B crooner Frank Ocean is having a few family issues as he recently tweeted about his estranged father and a million dollar lawsuit.  He tweeted,  

Photobucket

Then he added, “i got his DNA though, maybe I inherited some of his karma too.”   While the idea of a man suing his child for $1M is interesting, Frank failed to mention what the lawsuit is about.  His tweet simply leaves his fans guessing....as do many of his posts.

But a million dollars is a lot of money to ask of someone whom you abandoned so we'd love to hear the father's side of this situation.  We will keep you posted.

 

In other shocking news.....

 

Photobucket

Fantasia's brother Joseph "Teeny" Barrino, who starred on her reality show "Fantasia For Real," was robbed at gunpoint recently. Fantasia, who was shaken by the incident, posted on Instagram,

She later offered words of encouragement to her brother saying, "TEENY I LOVE YOU!!! YOUR STILL HERE BRO!!!! THAT OTHER STUFF CAN BE REPLACED. ♥♥♥♥"

There's no word yet on what or how much the robbers got away with but we're happy that Teeny is safe.
