DO WE LOVE IT: Kelis' New "Cruella de Vil" 'Do Posted: 29 May 2013 08:20 AM PDT "Jerk Ribs" singer Kelis was spotted rocking a Cruella de Vil-styled hairdo in London last night. Decide if we love it inside.... While sporting a new black and white 'do that could rival the infamous dalmatian meanie, the always fabulously eclectic Kelis was spotted leaving Whiskey Mist nightclub with a female friend in London last night. The ex-Mrs. Nasir Jones has been spending a lot of time in the UK, working on her upcoming LP, FOOD, which is set for a September release. Because she's always been a bigger star in the UK, it makes sense that she's recently listed her swanky Chelsea pad in NYC for $2.2 Million.   But back to her hair..... DO WE LOVE IT? Photos via PCN

SPOTTED: Lil' Kim and Tiffany Foxx GO DARK For D.C. PRIDE Posted: 29 May 2013 07:16 AM PDT Lil' Kim and her rprotege Tiffany Foxx were spotted partying in Washington, D.C. over the weekend.  See them backstage at the club inside...   Legendary rapstress Lil' Kim was spotted partying backstage at Club Fur in Washington, DC this past Memorial Day weekend. The duo (both sporting jet black locks--a change up for the usually blonde Tiffany) were in town to celebrate Pride Weekend. Also, Tiffany promoted her newly released mixtape Goal Diggers.     And while the Queen Bee is reportedly back in the studio working on new music, her frenemy Nicki Minaj recently paid Kim a compliment on NYC's Hot 97.  When asked about beef and her favorite rappers, she said  "I don't have beef with anybody - let me just say that...My favorites are Foxy, Kim and then Remy - they were all from New York. It's no disrespect to any other female rappers, but those are the ones I felt like, 'Oh, OK - I could get into that'. They sounded like me when I spoke and I just thought they really made an impact."  Wow...that's a big change from a few years ago.   She also shouted out folks like Missy. Maybe...just maybe...our darling Nicki has made a change for the (grown up) better...   Photos via Allan AB

Kerry Washington GRABS YOUR ATTENTION For "The Hollywood Reporter" Drama Queens Cover Posted: 29 May 2013 06:41 AM PDT For the second time this year, Kerry Washington is featured in The Hollywood Reporter.  And in the new print issue, she's grabbing all the attention on the cover with the "Hot Drama Queens."  Check it inside... After her big feature earlier this year with her stylist Emily Walsh for THR's Top 25 Stylists Issue, our favorite Gladiator has nabbed the cover amongst 5 other top tv Drama actresses. "Scandal" star Kerry Washington is taking over Hollywood with much deserved accolades after a record breaking season finale.  And chick is topping the rest of the Hollywood IT girls...both literally (for the cover) and figuratively. On the brand new cover of THR, Kerry stands tall in a pair of black & white slacks, a midriff baring black blouse, and black pumps for her usual fabulous look. The other cover stars: Kate Mara of "House of Cards", Monica Potter of one of our fave shows "Parenthood", Connie Britton of our other fave "Nashville," Elisabeth Moss of "Mad Men," and Anna Gunn of "Breaking Bad". Congrats to Kerry!  And stay tuned for the behind the scenes video from the shoot...

SPOTTED: Willow Smith Spends The Day With Kylie Jenner In NYC Posted: 28 May 2013 08:20 PM PDT The young Smith clan seems to have gotten tight with the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.  Willow Smith was spotted exiting her hotel today in NYC with Kylie Jenner (striped hat) after a full day of...nope, not school on this school day....shopping and lunching.   Pics inside... Must be nice to be 12-years-old and the heiress to a Hollywood empire.  Basically, it must be nice to be Willow Smith.  She doesn't have to spend her Tuesdays (or any days for that matter) during the school year in anybody's math class.  She's chillaxin' in New York City shopping at Intermix for hours with reality heiresses like Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Willow whipped her hair around Trump Soho hotel with good friend Kylie who was likely in town to do some promo with her family for their new season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."  Willow's big bro Jaden was spotted dining out with Kylie as well last week. Forget Algebra....promoting reality shows and shopping with fellow Hollywood heirs take precedence.  And pre-teens in classrooms everywhere are probably salivating at the thought.     Mom Jada was spotted looking cute as usual in a satin look and hot wedged sandals leaving the hotel with the girls as well.  We're told the group of friends hit up Intermix for a few hours, then grabbed some grub and chilled out at their hotel.  Must be nice...   The Randomness: 1.  Chrissy Teigen just got into a Twitter war with Amanda Bynes.  STORY 2.  Chief Keef was arrested for the second time in 7 days today in Illinois for speeding...110mph in a 55mph zone!  STORY Photos: Splash

THAT WAS QUICK: Zoe Saldana & Her New Boo Kiss All Over Italy Posted: 28 May 2013 05:42 PM PDT Zoe Saldana may have stirred up some controversy with her recent statement about possibly ending up with a woman, but chick is still all about men.   Check out her recent Italian rendezvous with her new artist boy toy inside... After her breakup with former co-star Bradley Cooper, whirlwind promo for Star Trek Into Darkness and long stint at the Cannes Film Festival, Zoe Saldana took some time off for herself.  And she's replenishing her energy with a new boo--artist Marco Perego. The twosome were spotted in the streets of Capri hitting up shops, wining and dining, and kissing in the streets like they're on the set of a romantic movie. They were also spotted on the terrace of their Italian villa hugged up yesterday in robes.  Clearly mister artist man was ready to let everything hang out too.  Do you Zoe...   Photos: Splash

Keke Palmer Covers "KONTROL" Magazine's PASSPORT TO SEXY Issue Posted: 28 May 2013 03:57 PM PDT   Keke Palmer covers the latest issue of KONTROL Magazine where she kicks off their "Passport To Sexy" issue.  See the cover and behind the scenes pics inside...   In the latest issue of KONTROL Magazine, child star turned grown actress Keke Palmer covers the "Passport To Style" issue where she dons sexy looks from the “Kontrol the Runway” designer competition winner, Rachel Mills. In her cover story, the fab chick revealed her latest "boss" move in Hollywood, a leading role in Full Circle, a new DirectTV drama.   According to the HuffPost, Full Circle "...aims to examine "the human condition and relationships through a series of conversations between 11 people,...whose lives are intertwined, unbeknownst to them."  Here's the DirecTV synopsis: "Characters passing the torch from one episode to the next include Tim (Felton) an exchange student from England and his love interest Bridgette (Kelly); Bridgette’s husband Stanley (McMahon), a charismatic and intense entertainment lawyer; Stanley’s client Jace (Boreanaz), a famous comic known for his outlandish behavior; Chan’dra (Palmer), whose life was irrevocably altered as a result of a joke that Jace took too far; Cliff (Gearhart), a classmate Chan’dra secretly has a crush on; Cliff’s father Trent (Campbell) and his wife Trisha (Walsh); Peter (Jackson), an aspiring singer who intrudes on a special night between Trent and Trisha; Robbie (Silver), Trisha’s student who purports an unusual connection to his teacher, and his mother Celeste (Sheedy), with whom he shares an unnerving bond. The final episode brings the characters together, with the unexpected addition of one (Weigert), for an explosive ending that is sure to change all of these characters lives irreparably." Keke's starting production soon in Los Angeles. The series is expected for a fall 2013 premiere on DirecTV's Audience Network.   Watch the KONTROL behind the scenes video of Keke's passport to sexy...  Photo via KONTROL

PHOTOSHOOT FLICKS: Erica Dixon BARES HER ASSets In "BLACK MEN" Magazine Posted: 28 May 2013 01:14 PM PDT "LAHH ATL" star Erica Dixon stripped down for a sexy nearly-nude spread in "BLACK MEN" Magazine.  See shots from her upcoming issue inside... In the latest issue of BLACK MEN magazine, reality star Erica Dixon just shot a revealing pictorial that we're sure she was planing to throw in Lil' Scrappy's face after their pre-jail drama. Now that it appears that her relationship with her baby father, fellow "LAHH ATL" star Lil' Scrappy is over (or is it really since she was holding hands with him last month as he made his way to jail?), Erica Dixon is putting the world on notice that she's sexy and single. We always said this girl had model potential, but we weren't necessarily talking about BOOTY model.  A bit disappointing, but we admit, she's a hottie. And with Lil' Scrappy still dealing with legal issues and an addiction to marijuana, it looks like Erica MAY have bailed on the relationship at the right time. Good luck hunting for a good man Erica....   Watch BTS video here:   In case you missed it....   Watch Mama Dee celebrated the end of Lil' Scrappy's engagement to Erica with Shay!  So messy...   Photos via Pics & Video courtesy of iMarc

FOOLYWANG MATERIAL: MiMi Faust Stars In Her Man Nikko & His "Friend" Johnny's "NY 2 LA" Video Posted: 28 May 2013 11:51 AM PDT Let the basic games begin.  On last night's episode of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta," we saw MiMi Faust entering the combat zone on the set of her man Nikko's new video "NY 2 LA".  And the battle was over K.Michelle (who was there to supposedly be in the video too) and Nikko's rap "partner" Johnny and their alleged down-lowness.   We've got the fight and the actual foolywang material that is the finished video product inside...   Where to begin... Nikko, MiMi's man we still raise an eyebrow at with wonder & many questions, really went and dropped this video for his and his homie Johnny's song for "NY 2 LA."  We still don't know who these guys are or who they think they are, but the description of the video reads: NY 2 LA is a Rap pop, soul Smash!!!! Produced by Nikko & Written by Nikko & Johnny this is a Novelty record that will have you singing it & loving it LETS FLY..... Chile... K.Michelle and co-star/friend Ariane really dodged a bullet by not appearing in this video.  Because the basicness is at an all time high.  For some reason, we continue to hold out hope that MiMi will end her reign as Queen of Patheticness (but we REALLY want to like her!) and wake up and smell the GLBT coffee.  But she clearly didn't (and still hasn't since she recently posted a pic of her and Nikko at her charity event saying they're still together). In the above foolishness, we see Nikko and Johnny acting like pilots while Diddy bop'ing all in the airplane hangar and on the tarmac.  And as we watch, we keep saying under our breath, "Please don't let MiMi actually appear, please say she changed her mind last minute".  This chick not only appears, but comes out like 'BAM.....I'm the sh*t in this video.' Deep sigh.  We're not really sure what anyone involved was going for here, but MiMi apparently feels like THAT CHICK for being asked to play the lead in her man Nikko's video.  And by "lead", we mean the chick who shows a sliver of her face while hopping out a car and dancing in the background on the tarmac in front of a (real or not real) private jet. Peep the video above for yourselves.  But after seeing it, you'll understand why K.Michelle felt the need to pop off on Nikko, Johnny and eventually MiMi on last night's episode about this very shoot:   Get More: Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta 2   Last night's fight scene drama: While MiMi got her hair done at a conference room table, K. and Ariane revealed that they know people... who know people...who know that Johnny is indeed gay.  Which means they believe he's on the down low and acting like he likes women...and they're not feeling that. MiMi cut hard for Johnny saying, "I've only seen hm with bad bishes and he's not gay."  Alrighty then. The conversation soon turned into a war--with K. accusing Nikko of being gay himself.  She said, “You have a roommate in Atlanta. Rent is not that high boo boo in Atlanta.  You have a roomate for $1000 rent?  This is not New York.  GTFOH.” Boom.  Peep the above video clip from last night.  Nikko also released a video last week called "I'm Ready Girl" that he dedicated to MiMi.  Peep that at your own risk.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Beyonce THREATENS Fan Who SLAPPED Her Booty During Concert! Posted: 28 May 2013 09:52 AM PDT Beyonce was captured threatening an overzealous fan who slapped her backside during a recent performance in Denmark. Watch the booty slap video inside and see Mrs. Carter put the young man in his place....   During last night's show in Copenhagen, Denmark, one bold fan dared to place his hand on Mrs. Carter's ass!  Yes, we always say (personally) we'd snatch her wig off her head if she twirls it in our face during a concert to keep as a souvenir...but damn, this dude really went for the kill. As Beyonce walked into the crowd, allowing fans to sing "Irreplaceable",  one dude took his"turn a little too far as he proceeded to slap Beyonce's booty as she turned away.  Baddie Bey immediately checked his ass, giving him a stern look and said 'I will have you escorted out right now, alright?' Lucky for him....Julian and co. didn't put paws on him.  After the encounter, Beyonce continued the show without further incident.  Consummate professional as usual. After additional tour stops in Sweden and Antwerp this week, Bey will headline GUCCI's Chime For Change Concert (which she spearheaded with Salma Hayek) on Saturday.   Watch the booty slap incident here:   Photo: Beyonce's Tumblr
