We haven't seen this baby girl since she was a newborn posing in pics with her famous mommy and daddy.
She was born almost 3 years ago this upcoming February, and even though her parents are no longer together, they co-parent and smother her with love. And if her parents are any indication of her potential, an eclectic music career may be in her future... The celeb parents of this cutie pie are....
Wait for it.....
She's Mars Merkaba Thedford....daughter of singer Erykah Badu & rapper Jay Electronica! Mars, who turns 3 in February, was Instgrammed by her dad who said, "Mars F. Electronica Alla." The tiny tot has taken professional pics with mom Erykah when she was just months old, and snapped on Twitter in her dad's arms. Cute! |
| Lenny Kravitz & Demi Moore--Bizzare Party Night...Together...At Soho Beach House For Art Basel Posted: 06 Dec 2012 08:33 AM PST
We're not too sure what's going on here, but it looks like Demi Moore was having the time of her life partying and cuddling up to rockstar Lenny Kravitz last night. Check out the twosome raising eyebrows at Soho Beach House in Miami last night inside....
At the Chanel beachside BBQ celebrating Art.sy during Art Basel in Miami last night, Lenny Kravitz was apparently attracting all the chicks. Namely a bizarre-acting 50-year-old Demi Moore. She threw on her shortest jumpsuit and tossed back drinks while dancing and hanging all over Lenny Kravitz.
Either chick knows how to let loose whenever she wants, or maybe she was on something. But she surely got up and dropped it like it's hot with Lenny looking slightly unimpressed by the hot bodied actress:
Ha.
The twosome chatted it up before leaving out while folks surrounded their table snapping pics. Demi was reportedly there with her rumored young boy toy, 26-year-old Vito Schnabel. But did she also partake in someone a little more her age, like 48-year-old Lenny? VERY interesting.... Meanwhile, Lenny's in the midst of shooting a Marvin Gaye biopic. Pics: Wireimage/Splash |
| MUSIC FAB: Tamar Braxton's "Love And War" Single Posted: 06 Dec 2012 07:41 AM PST
Reality star Tamar Braxton released her highly anticipated "Love And War" single yesterday. Listen to the track inside.... On both "Braxton Family Values" and "Tamar And Vince" (which has it's season finale tonight) fans have watched Tamar Braxton talk about stepping out of Toni Braxton's shadow and has been begging her husbanger Vince to let her release a single. And now she is. And her new single shows she has what it takes. "Love And War", which doubles as the title track of her upcoming disc, is a heart-wrenching love ballad that showcases the textures of her voice. Though Tamar's tone is very similar to that of Toni, her soprano reigns surpeme on this track and easily places her among one of the best R&B singers putting out music right now. By the way, be sure to check out the finale episode of "Tamar & Vince" on WEtv tonight at 9/c. Listen to the track below and you can download it on iTunes today: |

| Lil' Scrappy & Erica Dixon Make It DRIZZLE At The STRIP CLUB! Posted: 05 Dec 2012 04:33 PM PST
Reality tv couple Lil' Scrappy and Erica Dixon made it drizzle at the strip club in ATL recently. See their apparent date night photos inside.... "LAHH ATL" couple Lil' Scrappy and Erica Dixon were spotted having a little fun at Onyx strip club in Atlanta this past Friday.
The couple were joined by a few Falcons players and DJ Nando who all cheered while watching Scrappy make it drizzle (because we don't think tossing a few singles counts as "rain").
And if reports from UPTOWN Magazine are true, seeing Scrappy and Erica go head-to-head with Diamond and Soulja Boy on season 2 of "LAHH ATL" should prove very interesting next year. Drizzle on...

Earlier today, Wiz Khalifa stopped by Power 105's The Breakfast Club to chat it up about his music, his upcoming nuptials and his success. He talked about the album's title (Only N*gga In First Class) and revealed that most of the time he finds that he's still the only Black man in first class on his flights. And he said he's treated differently while flying because of his tattoos and the smell of weed. Ha. He also said that he also struggles with pleasing his hardcore fans, who've been with him through the beginning, and his new "radio friendly" fans. When it comes to beef, he said he has no hard feelings towards Chief Keef (who stood him up on a video shoot). ,He revealed that The Weeknd didn't appear in the video for the song they did together because The Weeknd's camp wasn't so sure that working with Wiz was a look they wanted for their client. On a personal level, he told the hosts that he and Amber are getting a new home in LA because they need more space. He then gave up all the goods saying that he loves pregnancy sex and how Amber's body is a lot more sensitive. Also, he conformed they'll get married before the baby comes and have a ceremony after the birth so Amber can wear a nice dress and get drunk! Of course. And when it comes to the wandering eye, the "Work Hard Play Hard" rapper said both he and Amber as so "committed" that they don't look at other people. He added that they don't watch porn OR make porn either. Watch the interview here: |

Rihanna gets another shot at her fashion reality show career. She's set to star and produce in her own fashion reality series on the Style network. Deets inside... 2013 is shaping up to be a pretty busy one for Rih Rih. In addition to her Diamonds World Tour, kicking off March '13 in North America, she'll be hard at work on her new American show "Styled To Rock."
It was just announced today that Rihanna will be starring and producing the fashion reality series for the STYLE network. And if the name sounds familiar, it's because it is. Rihanna did the same fashion reality show over in the UK earlier this year for one of the British networks. But after it got less than stellar reviews, ratings & viewers, it came to an end. Now, she's got a second shot to make it work here in the US. The show is slated to premiere in 2013 as an hour-long 10-episode series. Twelve up-and-coming designers, hand-picked by Rihanna, will be given the opportunity of a lifetime to create unique fashion pieces for A-list celebrity talent. “Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career,” said Rihanna. “I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work.’ As for how this reality series will go down exactly, according to the press release:
Will you be watching?
