Rihanna Keeps The Party Going At MyStudio, While Chris Brown Works On New Album Posted: 26 Jan 2013 08:58 AM PST Rihanna loves to hit up the clubs in between tour rehearsals.  So it was no surprise the Barbadian pop princess popped up at MyStudio in L.A. late last night to get in some drinks & music.   Pics inside, plus what Chris Brown was doing in the meantime.... Rocking red leather pants and a printed silky jacket with her animal print Reeboks, Rihanna made her way to MyStudio nightclub yesterday to party it up with her girls: She tweeted that she went for some late night pizza afterwards.  Not mad. Chris Brown wasn't with her (this time) at MyStudio.  But he was in another type of studio.  He tweeted a pic of himself contemplating on some music.  He said, "Working on my new album... Looking to make this one very special. "X" " Get ready.... Pics: Splash/Instagram

Jermaine Dupri & A Mystery Chick Have A Dinner Date In L.A. Posted: 26 Jan 2013 07:40 AM PST Does Jermaine Dupri have a new chick in his love life?  Check out his L.A. dinner date last night inside... Record producer/rapper Jermaine Dupri puffed on his cigar as he left a restaurant with a mystery brunette Terrence Howard's ex-fiancee actress Zulay Henao in Los Angeles last night: She could have been there for a business meeting...or for way more than that.  The leopard dress & Louboutin rocking brunette seemed to be close enough to JD that the twosome caught the paparazzi's attention.  Not sure what's going on here, but we do know Zulay is set to star in Tyler Perry's upcoming film Single Mom's Club filming now. Meanwhile, JD is focused on his 20 year anniversary concert of his SoSo Def label.  Nice.  Congrats to him on that big accomplishment! Pics: Pacific Coast News

Christina Milian Goes For Post Work Out Drinks....In A Gun Holster Vest Posted: 26 Jan 2013 07:08 AM PST Christina Milian knows how to reward herself after a work out.  Yesterday after her run on the beach, the petitie cutie threw on her jeans, a tank and a gun holster...as decoration of course...to grab food and drinks with her girls.   Pics inside...   Drinks after a work out are always fun.  So Christina Milian made her way to the Italian eatery Mia Bella Roma in Miami with her girls last night in some serious studded boots.  She tweeted: 'Love these boots #zigigirl sent me.. Gracias' Interesting look she has here.  But she stays cute regardless:   She even stopped to pose with a few fans.  And spent the rest of the night partying it p for YMCMB's DJ Stevie J's birthday at Room Service. Sweet.  And Pics: FameFlynet/INF

MUST BE NICE: Kim & Kanye Blaze Through Luxe Stores On Parisian Shopping Spree Posted: 26 Jan 2013 06:25 AM PST Kim & Kanye were all smiles and full of fluff....literally...as they made their way around Paris on an all-out shopping spree last night.  Check out the camera loving twosome on a shopping binge at their fave luxe stores inside... What better way to celebrate your baby on the way and making a lot of money doing a whole lot of.....exactly what we see here?  To shop some more while the cameras track your every move. Kim K. threw on a feathered white dress and black ankle strap heels (we're guessing this was Kanye's pick) to shop away her troubles going on back home.  While her stepmother Ellen Kardashian has released Kim's father Rob Kardashian's alleged diaries that reveal Kris Jenner's abuse on Kim and cheating ways, the Kardashian kids are pissed.  At least on Twitter they are.  While the fam is disclaiming the authenticity of the diaries and seem so upset by it, Kim was spotted laughing it up with her boyfriend Kanye in Paris.   He paraded her around their fave spots--Hermes, Cartier, Lanvin and Ermanno Scervin--to pick up some new additions to their wardrobe. Kanye previously bought his baby mama 5 Cartier bracelets that she showed off to her Twitter followers yesterday: Well isn't that special.  We can say we're loving the smile 'Ye has on his face.  And since Kris Humphries has said once again he does not plan on agreeing to the divorce until Kim fesses up that she faked the marriage, this might be as close as Kim & Kanye are going to get for a while.   Pics: FameFlynet/Twitter

SUIT UP: Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake Clown Around On The Set Of The "Suit & Tie" Video Shoot! Posted: 25 Jan 2013 04:18 PM PST The fellas know how to have fun.  Jay-Z jetted to L.A. yesterday after dropping his wife off in New Orleans.  And it was all to shoot the new "Suit & Tie" video with Justin Timberlake.   Check out their pics from the first day on set inside... The "Suit & Tie" video shoot is officially underway in L.A.  And since it does rain in southern California sometimes, Jay & JT joked around holding up an umbrella to keep them dry as they walked back to the trailers. The married fellas were decked out in their tuxes for the occasion, of course.  And it looks like they're about to make some classic footage for the first track off Justin's upcoming album, The 20/20 Experience, dropping March 19th.  Can't wait!   In the meantime, check out the Sinatra-style lyric video for the track below:  Pics: Pacific Coast News

NOT SO SEPARATED? Exes Kimora Lee Simmons & Djimon Hounsou KISS & CUDDLE At Disneyland Posted: 25 Jan 2013 03:46 PM PST Oh...what do we have here?  Exes Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou were spotted cuddled up (and either kissing or caught in an awkward position by the paparazzi) at Disneyland today.   We've got the pics inside...   Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Housou may have told the world they've split, but they're body language shows anything but. The twosome were spotted spending time at Disneyland with their kids Aoki, Ming & Kenzo. The couple, who despite popular belief were never married, are now separated.  But was seen getting very close as they spent some quality time buying ice cream on Main St. Yeah we know that attention move KiKi.  You're not slick... While snacking on their ice cream, Kimora fed Djimon some of hers (mmhmm) and even went in for a kiss. The were holding hands, arms and everything else.  Can't really blame her for not completely weening herself off that fineness that is Djimon.  But does this mean they're back on? Time will tell....   Pics: SPLASH

SOLO FOR VALENTINE'S DAY: "Deception" Star Laz Alonso On His Singleness, Sexiness, And Wanting Kids Posted: 25 Jan 2013 03:02 PM PST Laz Alonso, who stars on NBC's "Deception," talked to JET Magazine about being single in Hollywood and how he wants to have kids...but not before marriage.  Find out more inside..... In the latest issue of JET Magazine, sexy TV star Laz Alonso opened up about love, marriage and having a family. And you know we were reading every line trying to figure out exactly what he wants out of a wife. As the star of Jumping The Broom and the NBC thriller "Deception", the single heartthrob also shared how he’ll be spending his solo Valentine’s Day.  Here are the highlights: On Being Labeled a Heartthrob: “I don’t take it too seriously because looks fade. We all are going to get older and that whole heartthrob label will go to someone else… Regardless of how you look, the way you make a person feel, that’s eternal.” On Relationships: “When dating somebody, I like to see them laugh and make the times we spend together more fun than they could ever imagine.” On Fatherhood: “I want kids— just not out of wedlock… Because my father died when I was young, I’m extra cautious about not creating a single-parent home.” Also in the issue, Naomi Campbell talks about her new show "The Face" and how she wants to help young girls succeed in the industry.  The  issue hits newsstands Monday, Jan. 28. Now...who wants to volunteer to keep Laz company on Valentine's day?

January 6th the 31-year-old mom of one tweeted a pic of herself in a tiny swimsuit from last July and said: "This will be my body by spring! You ready?! #tbt......So... The bikini picture I posted was from last July.  So not gonna be too long till I'm back. Gotta stay in the zone...!" You look cute already Chris! Pics: INF/PCN

SHOTS FIRED: Bow Wow BLAMES Kandi Burruss' EGO For Throwing SHADE At Jermaine Dupri's So So Def ANNIVERSARY Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:54 PM PST Bow Wow is blasting his former SO SO DEF label mate Kandi Burruss for being too busy to show any love to Jermaine Dupri during the label's 20th Anniversary. Find out what he said about her ego inside.... Previously, we told you about Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Records being honored in Atlanta for it's 20-Year Anniversary (above) and their huge So So Def All-Star Anniversary Concert on February 23 at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. And while many of the label's stars will make appearances on the stage, perhaps the most popular former member of the family, Kandi Burruss, is simply too busy to attend. Since leaving the group Xscape, Kandi has gone on to make a name for herself as a songwriter, reality tv-star and sex toy empire queen...so she is a little busy (she's kicking off her Ladies Night tour the same night as the concert). But Bow Wow, who now hosts BET's "106 & Park" felt that she should have penciled the So So Def Anniversary in....since it did put her on the map. He posted to Facebook, "JD likes to keep quiet but... Yo Kandi is wack for not wanting to show up for jd for "20th anniversary so so def show" put ego to the side and give the fans what they want and understand w/ out jd know one would even know who you are. You aint Michael, this aint the Jackson 5. She act'n like she booked out like she too busy! Better yet dont come. The ones thats there are the ones who really got live for JD and the history if the label." We understand Bow Wow venting his frustration (and letting us know that JD is hurt), but, does Kandi really really have to cancel her pre-scheduled money to appear at the show?  Maybe she already sent a Thank You and Congrats card. Maybe there is a back story that we don't know about because Kandi has made it clear on several occasions (most recently on Bravo's "WWHL") that there will NEVER be an Xscape reunion. Maybe she feels like she's been hurt too.  We all know what went down between her and JD and other SoSoDef producers.  Sexcapades always mess up business....

FIRST LOOK: Toni Braxton In "Twist Of Faith" + "Betty & Coretta" (FULL TRAILER) Posted: 25 Jan 2013 12:00 PM PST Singer Toni Braxton stars in the upcoming Lifetime movie "Twist Of Faith." See pics from the film inside and watch the first full trailer from the Mary J. Blige & Angela Bassett film "Betty & Coretta."  Also, watch a trailer for Cissy Houston's sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. As part of Lifetime's celebration of Black History Month, singer & "Braxton Family Values" star Toni Braxton stars in the original movie "Twist of Fate" with Mykelti Williamson, David Julian Hirsh and her real-life son Diezel.  Love seeing her doing things again in a non-reality capacity.  Here's a synopsis: Jacob Fisher (Hirsh), an Orthodox Jewish Cantor and amateur songwriter who resides in Brooklyn, New York, witnesses the senseless murder of his wife and three children. Catatonic, Jacob walks out on his Jewish mourning ritual, leaving behind his Jewish garments, wallet and keys. Abandoning his identity, he wanders aimlessly, hoping somehow to understand his tragedy. Fortuitously, he lands in Brent, Alabama (population 2,500), where he is embraced by Nina (Braxton), a single mother and the lead singer of a small gospel choir (an unlikely finalist in the competition to determine the best gospel choir in Alabama), her Uncle Moe (Williamson) and their gospel community who help his return to life while music brings Nina and Jacob together as they try to make sense of his past and their possible future. Check out a few pics of Toni and Diezel in their roles below:   "Twist of Fate" will premiere on Saturday, February 9, at 8pm ET/PT.   And kicking off Black History Month on Lifetime: We've already shared photos from BTS of the Lifetime original movie "Betty & Coretta" starring Mary J. Blige and Angela Bassett and now, the channel has released a full trailer for the film which debuts Saturday, February 2 at 8/7c.  The movie follows Mary and Angela in the roles of Dr. Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King as they continue their lives as single mothers, after their husbands (Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.) were assassinated. And.....   As the first anniversary of Whitney Houston's sudden death draws near, Oprah sat down with Cissy Houston in her New Jersey home for her first in-depth, sit-down interview since her daughter's passing.  She discusses her thoughts about Bobby Brown, the rumors of Whitney's lesbian affair with Robyn Crawford,  and her biggest regrets. Also, she is joined by Whitney's brother Michael and they both discuss the origin of Whitney's drug use. Watch Oprah's interview with Cissy Houston on Monday, January 28, at 10/9c. The Randomness: 1.  "The Best Man" cast is reuniting for a sequel.  Story.

Beyonce Gives Sneak Peek Into SUPERBOWL Rehearsals, (Almost) Secures Blue Ivy's Trademark Posted: 25 Jan 2013 11:43 AM PST While rocking her Brooklyn Nets tee, Beyonce gave her Instagram followers a peek into her rehearsals for Superbowl 2013.  Check the pics inside, plus the latest on that trademark problem The Carters faced over Baby Blue Ivy's name... Looks like Bey is prepping for a big stage of dancers for her upcoming SuperBowl Halftime show in New Orleans next weekend.  The diva who has weathered the Beyonce-Gate lipsyncing controversy this week seems to be only focused on work.  She has yet to give a statement herself (but "sources" allegedly close to her have spoken out in support) on the drama.  Ne-Yo, who has written some of her biggest hits and a talented performer himself, commented that people are being too judgmental and need to shut up and enjoy the music.  Especially since everyone knows what she's capable of. ''I didn't see the inauguration so I can't comment on her performance, but I will say that people can be so judgmental on anything an artist does, so of course Beyonce will be no exception to that rule. People are always going to be making comments, everybody is a damn expert at everything. ''You know what that woman is capable of, you know what she can do, so whether she's singing live or lip synching, whatever the case may be, just enjoy the damn music and shut up. Totally agree.  And instead of feeding the negativity, Beuonce's posted the above two pics from her rehearsal. Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports that the judge in her and Jay-Z's trademark case for their daughter Blue Ivy's name has granted them the go-ahead to pursue it. Previously, the couple hit a snag where the US trademark office put their application on hold as one merchant (a Boston wedding planner with the same name) was just granted a trademark.  But since this will be a totally different category, The Carters have been officially given the green light to pursue. Now, they just have to show the trademark is in use on products within the next 3 years, and the trademark filing is official. Expect some Blue Ivy branded toddler & kid gear soon....
