BEEF: Joseline Hernandez CALLS Tamar Braxton An OLD, CRUSTY Beyonce-WANNABE, Tamar Says Joseline is "BULLY" Posted: 21 Dec 2012 08:06 AM PST "LAHH ATL" star Joseline Hernandez used an appearance on "Kandi Koated Knights" yesterday to blast back at Tamar Braxton for making comments that Jos looked like a man. Watch the video inside and see why Tamar says Joseline is a bully. Joseline Hernandez popped up on the most recent episode of "Kandi Koated Knights" where she blasted Tamar Braxton for making jokes about her looking like a man.   Joseline's anger stems from comments Tamar made earlier in the week during the debut of her new talk show on VH1 "Tiny Tonight."  During a segment about realiity tv, Tamar made a few jokes about Joseline possibly being a man.  While that rumor was proven false, it still seems to hit a sore spot for Joseline when someone brings it up. Joseline said (in slightly broken English) “First of all Tamar, they been saying you look like a dude four years ago. B***h you the one that look like a man, don’t get it twisted. Dont go there. For real, you like 50 years old. Im a young broad, I dont know you, why you f**king with me. I dont know who you are, I know your sister." Joseline went on to call Tamar a crusty Beyonce wannabe.  And though she did admit that she "heard" Tamar's single "Love and War" was good, she said it's about time Tamar got a hit since she's been trying for make it in the industry for years. Then Tamar responded to Joseline on Twitter saying,   Hopefully these ladies will drop their beef and both move on to more important things for 2013....   Watch "Kandi Koated Knights" here are see Joseline's comments at (00:49):   Video streaming by Ustream

SPOTTED: Mariah Carey ON HOLIDAY In Aspen Posted: 21 Dec 2012 07:30 AM PST Mariah Carey was spotted in Aspen, Colorado yesterday on holiday.  See pics of the fab mom of two inside....   "American Idol" diva Mariah Carey was spotted strolling through the streets of Aspen to kick off her holiday season. The 42-year-old, who spends every Christmas in Aspen, was dressed up like a teenager in a pair of tight jeans and a white jacket with a side ponytail. But she still looks young and fabulous though.   Mrs. Carey-Cannon, whose "All I Want For Christmas" song has become a Holiday standard, was seen heading into Gucci, Joan Boyce and other high end stores. She took the time to pose with fans who'll all be watching her on "American Idol" when it debuts on January 16, 2013 at 8/7c on FOX. Not the side zipped jeans though Mimi.  Gotta love her...   Photos via PCN

LAPD DETAINS Katt Williams For MARIJUANA And GUN POSSESSION...While Suge Knight GETS A Mani/Pedi! Posted: 21 Dec 2012 06:31 AM PST While waiting for Suge Knight to finish getting a mani/pedi, police in LA detained funnyman Katt Williams after finding marijuana and a gun on his person...but no arrests were made! Get the details inside.....   Katt Williams had another run in with law enforcement recently, but this time he DIDN'T get arrested!  The comedian was stopped by LAPD outside of a Subway shop recently after police alleged they were called to bust up a disturbance caused by Katt.   Katt was cuffed and placed in the back of a squad car after police found both marijuana and a gun in Katt's possession.  While this would have normally spelled doom for any other troubled man, it turns out that Katt had all of his paperwork straight (including a medical marijuana card and a gun permit). So what led to Katt being detained?  Katt thinks the LAPD had racial motives.  Of course.   He told TMZ he was waiting in front of a Subway while his friend Suge Knight was finishing up with a manicure and pedicure when he was approached by cops.  He claims there was no disturbance and after he was detained, a Subway employee even brought out sandwiches to Suge and Katt.  How nice of them. We're happy Katt didn't end up back in jail, but we hope this incident ends up on one of Katt's stand-up routines.  The thought of Suge Knight getting a mani/pedi while Katt gets cuffed is quite humorous.

FAMILY FAB: Kimora Lee & Kenzo Lee Hounsou FLYING OFF To St. Barth's + Ming & Aoki Lee GET FAB For "OK!" Magazine Posted: 20 Dec 2012 05:18 PM PST Kimora Lee Simmons and her son Kenzo Lee Hounsou were spotted at LAX before their flight out to St. Barth's yesterday.  See them waiting for their flight inside and see pics from OK! Magazine featuring Ming & Aoki Lee's photoshoot.     After a morning stroll through The Grove with dad Djimon Hounsou, Kenzo Lee was spotted at LAX last evening with mom Kimora as they prepared to jet off to St. Barth's. Kimora tweeted her ex-husband Russell Simmons to let him know that she and Kenzo were on the way to join him and their daughters Ming and Aoki Lee.  She tweeted,  "On our way!-> RT @UncleRUSH: Aoki Lee chillin n St Barths @OfficialKimora u C ur baby?! They cnt wait 4 u 2 come!" We're sure the family will have a great time together.   And on magazine racks............... Ming and Aoki Lee are featured in a photoshoot for the latest issue of OK! Magazine called "Hollywood's Cutest Kids."  Inside, the sisters talked about their fashion sense.  Ming said, “We have a sewing machine and we know how to drape and design our own clothes. We make our own stuff,” She added that her inspiration come from style watching saying, “I like to go to the grove and see what people are wearing and how they style themselves.” And when Aoki was asked where she finds her inspiration she joked, “I like looking at clothes online. I can’t drive yet so it’s easier.” The issue is on stands now.

"Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" Trailer RELEASED + Chaka Khan & Halle Berry NAMES Among 2013 BET Honors Posted: 20 Dec 2012 04:16 PM PST   The movie trailer for Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is out and shows the film producer taking stars Jurnee Smollet and Lance Gross in a very steamy direction. Watch the trailer inside and find out who'll be honored at the 2013 BET Honors. The trailer for Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor has been released and may prove to be Tyler's steamiest production yet.  The film stars Jurnee Smollet as an Ivy League-educated relationship expert who dispenses marital advice for a living but gets involved in a steamy affair with Robbie Jones, inciting the rage of her husband Lance Gross. Featuring appearances from some of the film's other high profile stars like Kim Kardashian, Brandy and Vanessa Williams, the steamy trailer plays out like an R-rated erotic thriller but it may be be a little misleading to fans.  Although Tyler described the film as "one of the most provocative movies" he's made...it managed to get a PG-13 rating.  We guess he didn't want to alienate his Christian-fanbase. Nevertheless, the trailer seems pretty exciting and will definitely get fans and viewers interested in what's to come. And Kim's acting doesn't seem bad at all.  Unfortunatey, fans hoping to see Kim reunited with former BFF Brandy will have to wait as the ladies didn't have any scenes together.    "Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" is out in theaters on March 29, 2013. Watch the trailer here:   And on television......   BET has announced the high-achieving individuals who will be honored at the 2013 BET Honors. The network announced that actress Halle Berry, musician Chaka Khan, basketball star Lisa Leslie, music executive Clarence Avant and religious leader T.D. Jakes will all be feted at the Jan. 12 event in Washington, DC. The show will be hosted by Gabrielle Union and is set to air on BET on Feb. 11.

T.I. TELLS "ROLLING OUT" & "The Breakfast Club" How Prison CHANGED HIM & Why "Tiny" Is "THE ONE"+ Katt Williams EXPLAINS Why He SLAPPED "Target" Employee Posted: 20 Dec 2012 11:07 AM PST During two different interviews, rapper T.I. covers ROLLING OUT Magazine and speaks to The Breakfast Club about the impact of prison had on his life and what his wife Tiny Harris means to him.  See the highlights inside and hear Katt Williams side of the story about slapping a Target store employee. T.I. is one rapper who has been through many challenges before the public eye as a rapper, tv personality and prison inmate.  While speaki to ROLLING OUT and The Breakfast Club, he tries to explain how things he's gone through have impacted his family, his music and the way he lives his life today. During a very candid interview with ROLLING OUT, he spoke about the moment he realized that wife "Tiny" Harris was the one for him, how prison changed him and cleared up misconceptions about black youth choosing the jail system over college. Here are the highlights: On how he was affected by prison: When I went to prison in 2009, I had so much resentment for the system. When you’re in a certain element, you can exercise certain strengths. But when you place me in a jungle and it’s all about survival, I’m going to have tp posture myself in a way I’m fit to survive. By the time I came out of prison, my mind-set was different from when I went in. Prison did me no good. But personally, I regressed completely. In certain neighborhoods, do you think that more respect is given to those who went to jail when compared to others who went to college? That’s a misconception. I think white folks put that out there because they want us to feed off that. I grew up in Bankhead, been around Campbellton Road, Simpson Road, West End and every ghetto in Atlanta. And I never thought it was cooler to go to jail than to go to college. I knew college wasn’t for me, but I knew jail wasn’t for me, either. If you give me the option between jail and college, I’m taking college. They have women in college, ain’t no women in jail. I’ve never thought that. And no one I ever spoke to said, ”Man, something in me wants to see what it’s like to go to jail.” On the other hand, we knew that we were doing things that could land us in jail. But we never thought it was cool. That’s a misconception. If you’re a teenager, or whatever, don’t believe that going to jail is cool. I’ve been in there with people who are doing 20-year bids and life sentences. Those folks never feel like it was cool. When he knew Tiny was the 'one': For me, it was early. I can’t say the exact day. Because even when you initially make the decision, you still wrestle with whether you made the right decision. Within the first two years, I made that initial decision. Then maybe another two years, I confirmed that decision. A few years later, I finalized that decision. How women can find their king or the perfect man: I hate to tell them something to do to get a man, and when they finally get that man they find out he’s not the man they should have gone after. But you have to really get to know the person you think you are in love with. Learn who they are. Spend time with them. Because a person can only perpetrate for a certain amount of time. And one thing to always remember, you never really know a person until you watch them when they don’t know they’re being watched. If there was a hidden camera in the room, I would be the same way I am when we’re together. How you see me, that’s how I am.   And on "The Breakfast Club" T.I. chatted with Power 105 this morning where the hosts thanked him for performing at their anniversary bash earlier in the week.  While promoting his upcoming Trouble Man disc, T.I.  discussed the difference between being T.I. (the reality tv personality) and TIP (the hardcore rapper). He broke down his evolution as an artist and explained how he had to navigate putting out records that would keep him popping in the streets while not offending his probation officer or compounding his legal issues with the feds.   During one intriguing part of the chat, he spoke about prison and how it's supposed to be about rehabilitation, yet he says he did more drugs and got into more trouble while in jail (trying to survive) than he did while he was out free.  He explains his multiple prison stints by saying that you have to go into a "prison mindset" to survive,  once you are back out on the streets, you may still have that "prison mindset" that allows you to make poor choices.   Watch the interview above....     And on the comedy front.... Katt Wiliiams is back on stage and using his routine to explain some of his recent public outbursts. Previosuly, we told you about Katt slapping a Target store employee and now we know what led to the slap (from Katt's point of view.) In the clip, Katt explains that the employee made a sarcastic comment about some of his legal woes saying, 'Your assistant is already suing you, you p**sy ass n***er." Katt then told him, "Say it again and see what happens." And the next thing that happened was the slap. As it turns out,  the employee, Forrest Liebenberg, was fired shortly after the incident with Katt.  Although Forrest didn't return phone calls to TMZ about Katt's claims,  it does seem to make sense.  When you verbally attack a man who's already been known to physically attack others, you have to expect you'll get something thrown back at you...or a slap in the face. But at least Forrest hasn't filed a lawsuit againt Katt...the funnyman already has enough to tend to.
