SMILE BRIGHT: Cynthia Bailey, D Woods, Mimi Faust & MORE Flash Their PEARLY Whites For COLGATE'S BEAUTY BAR Posted: 22 May 2013 08:32 AM PDT Cynthia Bailey and husband Peter Thomas opened their Bar One for Mimi Faust and other Atlanta personalities for the Colgate Optic White Beauty Bar.  See party pics inside... Last night, "RHOA" star Cynthia Bailey showed off her cover girl smile and glam 'fro at the Colgate Optic White Beauty Bar event in Atlanta.  The event was co-sponsored by UPTOWN Magazine and held at Peter Thomas' Bar One. Although fans saw Peter's supper club fail on "RHOA", it looks like Bar One is doing quite well as he and Cynthia throw tons of ATL events at the hot spot.  And Cynthia's mom and sister Malorie Massie are also reaping the benefits of the family's elevated profile.  Mal used the event to sell some of her custom jewelry.  Guess she gets along with Peter now.... Danity Kane's D Woods (who nixed the upcoming reunion) debuted her blonde braids.   "Married To Medicine" star Toya Bush-Harris posed with her husband Eugene.   "LAHH ATL" star Benzino was there for the function looking....interesting. Fellow "LAHH ATL" castmate Mimi Faust was there.  We wonder if she and Benzino addressed their Twitter feud. "Fashion Queens" co-host Derek J showed off some of his spring fashions with...a friend. Do you boo.          And singer Dondria also showed off her "Colgate" smile. Photos via Paras Griffin /Chris Mitchell

Kanye & Kim's Baby Shower Invite--A Pink Ballerina Twirling To "Hey Mama" (So They're Having A Girl?) Posted: 22 May 2013 07:58 AM PDT So Kim & Kanye seemed to have given the biggest hint possible as to what they're having this summer. A pink ballerina twirling in a box to a Kanye West lullaby was their baby shower invite.  We're going with the major possibility they're having a girl.  Unless the invite was all about Kim herself instead of the baby....   Checkout the invite inside....   TMZ got their hands on the actual baby shower invite sent out by Kim's mom Kris, her sisters Khloe & Kourtney and her friend Shelli Azoff (wife of uber rich Hollywood manager Irving Azoff). It's a box with a pink ballerina (Kanye's fave image it seems), who looks like Kim (of course), twirling around inside to a lullaby version of 'Ye's song "Hey Mama."  Kanye wrote the song for his own mother Donda West back in 2000 and it appeared on his 2005 Late Registration album. Seeing that they didn't go with a unisex option, it seems pretty clear the couple's having a girl. The shower goes down June 2nd, and Kanye will reportedly make sure he's in L.A. for it.  And we're sure it'll be a media storm of pics that day....

TELLING HIS SIDE: Kordell Stewart Admits To Changing The Locks....AFTER Porsha Allegedly ABANDONED Him And His Son! Posted: 22 May 2013 06:55 AM PDT Amid reports that he locked his estranged wife, Porsha Williams, out their house, ex-NFL star Kordell Stewart has filed documents claiming Porsha ABANDONED him and he feared his safety!  See what he told the courts inside...   As Porsha Williams (Stewart) lay sleeping at her mom's home, Kordell Stewart and his legal team quickly filed documents "explaining" why he changed the locks on their Atlanta mansion.  HipHollywood obtained the documents.  Sip your tea and coffee slowly while reading.... On when and why he changed the locks: The locks were changed on April 2, 2013. He claims Porsha established a routine of leaving (the) pre-marital residence without explanation and without consideration of the detrimental effects such behavior would have on the parties’ marriage , and (Kordell’s) nine year old son. On how he informed Porsha (via text) of the lock out: “Hey, reaching out not knowing who may or may not have keys to the house at this point, I was concerned for our safety so I changed the locks on the house. If and when you need to get in, give me a heads up so you can get in” On why he shouldn't have to provide Porsha with any money for relocation: “She is a celebrity, and has the income through appearances, endorsements, Bravo and other entities …(Porsha) should be capable of supporting herself but may not be able to as a result of her own financial negligence.” You can so tell this dude is bitter about Porsha ever doing the show and choosing "celeb" life over housewife life that caters to him.  The whole "well she's a celebrity now" and "she supports herself" comments are so sarcastic.  And we would know, it's our first language. We've shown you several pics of Porsha out and about in Atlanta, so we do understand that she's NOT sitting at home dealing with Kordell's anger and resentment.  But did her really try to insinuate that he going out for a few drinks and/or club appearances amounts to abandonment?! Damn...how needy are you Kordell? So, we've learned that he waited for her to leave one night and quickly changed the locks.  After that...he sent her a text saying he's "concerned" for his safety.  Now we're confused.  Isn't he a former NFL superstar with the physical capabilities of protecting his home and family?  And who would Porsha be "giving" her house keys to?  Is it just us, or does it seem that if a chick gets her own check...it makes him feel threatened.  Given, Porsha knew what she was getting into when she signed her name on that marriage license.  But damn son.  No leeway for the weary? Reality TV will continue to be the death of couples... See the documents here:   Photo via WTAE

NEW GIGS: LeToya Luckett CAST In VH1's "Single Ladies" + Jamie Foxx DEVELOPING " "Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me" For TNT Posted: 21 May 2013 03:02 PM PDT Singer and actress LeToya Luckett has landed a recurring role on VH1's "Single Ladies".  Find out who she'll be playing inside and get the deets on Jamie Foxx's upcoming TNT project.   "She Don't" singer LeToya Luckett, who first rose to fame as one of the founding members of Destiny's Child, has just landed a plum role on the hit VH1 series "Single Ladies." LeToya, will play Felicia Price, the icy founder and Senior Partner of Price Management, one of the most power music management companies in the world. Hmm....we wonder if she'll put a little bit of Mathew Knowles into the character? Also, funnyman Damien Wayans, who also starred in the BET series "Second Generation Wayans" has joined the cast. He'll play David Berenger, a slick manage at Price Management and a very powerful player on the Atlanta music scene. "Single Ladies", starring LisaRaye McCoy, Charity Shea and Denise Vasi, is due to return Fall 2013 on VH1.   In other television news...   Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx, who's currently filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2, has made several notable moves behind the camera in Hollywood.  First, the funnyman inked a deal with the Syfy channel to create a five-part horror anthology. And now, TNT has revealed that Jamie is producing and developing a new series for the network titled, "Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me." The series will be loosely based on Jamie's relationship with his 18-year-old daughter, Corinne. A TNT statement explained the show's concept saying, "Every teenager is embarrassed by his/her parents. But what if your dad decided to descend upon your life in every way? Inspired by Jamie Foxx’s relationship with his 18-year-old daughter, this comedy explores the dynamic between a parent and a child and all the embarrassment that comes with it." TNT has not revealed when production of "Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me" will begin, but Syfy has announced that Jamie's horror series will air in October. Congrats to Jamie and Corinne. EXTRAS: 1.  In a statement released earlier today, The National Basketball Association and National Basketball Players Association announced that they will contribute $1 million to support relief efforts in the Oklahoma City area. Also, The Oklahoma City Thunder and Thunder star Kevin Durant have each donated $1 million to the relief efforts as donations from other NBA teams, and current and former players continue to pour in.

K. Michelle DISHES To "The Breakfast Club" ON Leaving "LAHH ATL", REVEALS Chad Ochocinco Bought Her A MONKEY! Posted: 21 May 2013 01:45 PM PDT K. Michelle chatted with The Breakfast Club earlier today where she discussed "LAHH ATL", her upcoming disc, Rebellious Soul, and revealed that Chad Ochocinco bought her a pet monkey!  Watch the interview inside... Singer K. Michelle stopped by Power 105 this morning where she talked to The Breakfast Club about her upcoming disc Rebellious Soul (July 30th) and her latest single, "VSOP" which we shared with you yesterday.  During the morning chat, which touched on her feuds with fellow "LAHH ATL" stars Kirk Frost & Rasheeda, her infamous temper, and her friendship with mentor R. Kelly, the "Fallin" singer revealed that she plans to leave "LAHH ATL".  She also revealed that Chad Ochocinco, who's dealing with a few legal troubles of his own, purchased her a monkey!   Here are the highlights: On leaving LHHATL: "It's just time to go. I got some other things poppin' off. I got an album. They are actually bringing me to Love and Hip Hop New York. It doesn't matter how good I was singing, what was going on, nobody was listening to my music. All of a sudden I put out this mixtape, it got over a million downloads, all my shows are selling out, because they introduced me on this show. LHHATL was a great stepping stone for me and now coming to New York, that's basically setting up for my new show." On fighting with Kirk & Rasheeda: Like, Golden Girl came up in there tryna talk to me. He felt some type of way. Look, you run up-get done up. I sat still. I don’t wanna hurt (nobody), but when you fight somebody, you fight them. You not gon’ run up and yank anything from my head. On Ochocinco and the Monkey he bought her: You can't bring the monkey to New York, so the monkey is in Florida and I've been trying to find it a home. I've always wanted a pet monkey. Chad approached me and he tried to date me and I was like, "I don't want no shoes. Everybody wants shoes. I want a monkey." I thought it was a sweet gesture. We have not slept together. I've been through a lot with this dating thing. I talked to Chad yesterday. We are friends. That's what we need to be. Listen to the interview here: BONUS: As she preps for the release of Rebellious Soul, K. Michelle still makes time to give back to the community and she's partnered up with the "“Rebel Against” campaign for Saving Our Daughters. She explained her involvement in a BTS clip from a recent campaign saying, “I teamed up with Saving Our Daughters to just empower women on different things that might make them feel inferior, whether it might be violence, racism, or anything that they might be struggling or facing from day to day.” Watch the BTS footage and check out Rebellious Soul on July 30.
