Beyonce Chats It Up With "GMA" About The Cuban Trip Controversy, Making Blue Ivy A Big Sister Soon & Being An Extra Protective Mom Posted: 06 May 2013 08:28 AM PDT Beyonce appeared on "GMA" this morning where she addressed her controversial anniversary trip to Cuba, giving Blue Ivy a sibling and her role in the animated film "EPIC". In between jaunts of "The Mrs. Carter Show" World tour in London, Beyonce sat down with GMA's Amy Robach recently in the UK (the interview was taped and aired this AM) where she gave a revealing look into her life as Mrs. Carter.  The gorgeous gal in green tells her plans to have more children, her reaction tot eh controversy about traveling to Cuba with Jay-Z and how she describes herself as a mother.  Here are the highlights: On making Blue Ivy a big sister I would like more children. I think my daughter needs some company. She should be a big sister….at some point. When it's supposed to happen. On her EPIC role (opening May 24) You know, I was so honored when they asked for me to do this role. And I was actually pregnant at the time. And I thought, 'You know, by the time this comes out my daughter will … understand it's my voice and what an incredible, cool point.  I was crying after I did the voiceover.A  nd it was the first thing I did after giving birth. And there's a scene where I pick the pod. And literally there were … tears falling. On the Cuba trip controversy You know, it was such a beautiful trip. I met some incredible children. I visited some incredible entrepreneurs. And it was really, it was really educational for me. I learned so much about so many people and the country, and it was actually quite shocking. On staying grounded You know, at the end of the day you're the same exact person. You know … I still like the simple things. Like, I have on my press-on nails right now," she said, laughing. "I have on my store-bought press-on nails. But my color, my … paint is professionally done. On her biggest job My biggest job in the world is to protect my daughter. And I am very protective.  I just want to make sure that she can have a healthy, safe, normal life … in the back of my mind, she's my priority. And life is completely different now. So I'm - I feel really, really just lucky that I can still do what I love, and now have a way bigger meaning. And that's to be her mother. Watch the full interview here:

DJ Mister Cee ADDRESSES The Prostitution Bust: Says Cops & Media LIED About It Being A Male Prostitute & Claims It Was A FEMALE LATINA Undercover Cop Posted: 06 May 2013 07:35 AM PDT Hot 97's DJ Mister Cee took to the airwaves this morning to address his newest arrest for solicitation of a prostitute.  And while reports state it was a male prostitute Cee approached, the legendary DJ is denying it all.  And for the second time, he's blaming cops & media for lying.    Cee's story about the prostitute actually being a female, plus his admission of having "problems with desiring prostitutes," inside.... We weren't sure how DJ Mister Cee was going to talk his way out of this one.  But he damn sure tried this morning. In an "interview" with Hot 97's Ebro (who is the programming director but likes to get in on the drama whenever he can) a little over an hour ago, Cee talked (and talked and talked) about what REALLY went down Thursday night/Friday morning that led to his arrest. He admits to loving strippers and prostitutes due to a long time personal issue that started with an ex girlfriend over a decade ago (yeah, he tried it), but he was reluctant to admit to having an actual addiction to prostitutes. And since this is the second PUBLIC time (third total) he's been arrested for allegedly soliciting a MALE prostitute, you would think he would simply fess up to being a gay man.  Instead, just like back in 2011, Cee said the cops and media lied.  He says the undercover cop was a female Latina.  And it's all a conspiracy to keep her identity protected (yup, he tried it again). Here's the highlights of Cee exposing himself in true addict form--he's got an explanation for everything and it's "all a conspiracy."  Even his Hot 97 fam sounded doubtful of his explanations and begged him to simply be free and be himself because they would love him either way. No dice. (With his Hot 97 fam Angie Martinez)   On why it was reported each time male prostitutes were involved Thursday night/Friday morning, I was approached by a female, Latino undercover cop. Not a male cop. The female Latino cop, I have her badge number so I know who it is....The first story that came out in the Daily News said it was a female undercover officer and you can research and see that that story was posted [Editor's Note: We did not and still do not see this alleged "original story"]. Then they changed it soon after to male undercover officer. I have no idea why it changed. I understand that cops have a job to do.  She was undercover and she has to protect herself. She's going to have to be sequestered and I'm going to have to fight the case. On whether or not he's gay No, I am not gay. I have not engaged in homosexual activity. Out of the three incidents that happened in the past with me, there was only one person's name brought up that was a male. If you do your research and look at the incident that happened in 2011, that male person put out 2 different videos.  The first video was about him saying he doesn't know Mister Cee. Then, he did another with a comedian saying 'Yes, I was with Cee and he has a small penis.'  If you do your research, you will see those two interviews. On if he's covering up for being gay No, I love the gay community.  I always embrace those people who don't have that much power to be loud. Back when the Haiti thing happened, I was doing so much for the Haitians. I embrace the gay community more than you know. On why these male prostitution/solicitation stories keep coming out Shout out to the 83rd precinct in BK. They took care of me and what I'm going to say is not a reflection on all police.  But the police's job is to build a case against me. And it's my job to build a case for myself. In 2011, I pleaded guilty tot he prostitution case (which a male prostitute was also named with pictures in the ACTUAL police report) because it was too much money to keep going back and forth. And also because I have a family--both my family and my Hot 97 family and I didn't want to put y'all through the mud. Not because I like men, but because of all the court procedures I didn't want to go through. But on the three occasions I've been arrested on solicitation charges, only one has been said to be a man. Where are the other names? And have y'all stopped to think about where that person is now? There's something to that. On why he was even in the place (Madison & Broadway in BK) KNOWN to be crawling with transgendered prostitutes Yes, I do like prostitutes. I have engaged a lot with prostitutes in my life many times. Same with strippers. I've tricked on them many times. But I happened to be in the area on Thursday.  It was a beautiful day for me. Everything that had happened around this time in 2011, I didn't feel like my Hot 97 fam had my back. There were people telling me I shouldn't be on that Summer Jam stage. But on Thursday, I was in a great mood. So it just so happened I was in that area after leaving a party.  I didn't know that corner is where prostitutes hung out. On his account of what happened that night I was leaving an after work party nearby and I remembered I needed to call somebody I said I would call earlier. I pulled over to call, and it was on the corner of Madison and Broadway, and I was approached by a female Latina undercover officer (who he claims was NOT scantily clad and was dressed regularly). So I rolled down the window. (Cee was asked why he rolled down his window for anyone at midnight and he said he's not too stuck up to say Hi to somebody) She offered to have oral sex. I can't say too much because I have to go back to court. But she said pull up to the corner.  I said no and started to pull off, and all hell broke loose.   On why he keeps soliciting prostitutes It's because of what I've been going thru the last 10-12 years of my life.  Back in 2001, I was in a serious committed relationship (a girlfriend) with a young lady and I'm not going to say her name.  About that time, my life started to change into wanting hit it & quit it type relationships.  I was going into strip clubs and things. Then I wanted to get prostitutes. I got in a rut. The more I started getting into that activity, the more I wanted it versus the traditional way of getting to know regular women. I found myself not trusting women as much. I found myself not wanting women to get closer to me in my world. I started seeing how my friends were getting jammed up in their marriages and relationship and I said that's not going to be me.  If I get to a point where me and a woman get too close, I push her away. I have trust issues with women. For me to have gotten caught 3 times.  In relation to all the times I frequent prostitutes, it's really not surprising. On whether he ever realized he is Mister Cee and too "known" to be soliciting prostitutes on the street I don't drink and I don't smoke. I'm in my right mind. But sometimes in my weird sadistic way, I don't really know how big "Mister Cee" is. I don't understand the enormity of who I am. On if he's addicted to prostitutes I don't have an addiction to prostitutes. I have an addiction to instant gratification.  I need help. I been dealing with it and trying to deal with it for the last 10-12 years.  On getting help for his prostitution problem If ya'll want to fire me or get rid of me, I understand that. No company should have to be subjected to the the of negative activity I've been bringing to this company the last couple years.  I'm getting help. I go to therapy and I'm dealing with it.   If you say so Cee.  But we all have a few secrets in us we don't want everyone to know for whatever reason...   BONUS:  Just like back in 2011, Cee's enemy & rival radio host Charlamagne Da God went in on the DJ this morning.  Check out Char's Donkey of the Day where he calls him a serial purchaser of the penis.  I'm done.

OH? Azealia Banks Posts Revealing Bathroom Pics + Chris Brown Goes POSTAL During INEXPLICABLE Twitter Rant Posted: 06 May 2013 06:25 AM PDT Azealia Banks took a page from Ciara's playbook and shared a few "Body Party" pics yesterday.  See sexy NSFW flicks of Yung Rapunxel's nearly naked bod inside and read Chris Brown's latest Twitter rant about catching fades... A few days ago we told you that Azealia Banks had turned over her Twitter account to Interscope (to keep her out of trouble), but they've apparently allowed her to keep control of her Instagram account...and she's still cutting up and raising eyebrows! Although no one has been attacked on Instagram (yet) Ms. A.B. did make us do a double take when she posted some revealing pics on her account yesterday. The "Liquorice" rapper took a few self-pics of her body in a revealing onesie that left little to the imagination. We're not sure if this was for a performance or photoshoot but she told her followers she was "HavingFunnnn".  And with a body like that, Summer 2013 will surely be fun for a young rapstress with a growing bank account, a record deal, and the fashion world at her beck and call.  Do you boo.   And in other "postings"...... Chris Brown "seemed" to have a pretty decent birthday celebration over the weekend.  First, he partied with Karrueche Tran and Christina Milian in LA, and followed that up with a party in Las Vegas with Fabolous. And he's headed to NYC next for his third bday celebration. And even though he revealed that he and Rihanna are doing their own thing, things seemed to be breezy for Breezy.  But some ish must have gone down last night because 24-year-old Chris Brown flashed back to some behavior reminiscent of his earlier 20s, and posted a wild rant on Tiwtter.  Though it was quickly deleted (as they usually are) it seemed like Chris was responding to some shade being thrown his way.  He said, Chris Brown ‏@chrisbrown3m ***** can't even be happy on his birthday! I'm over trying to please y'all! I'm catching any FADES. On god! Im wit all the bullshit! Chris Brown ‏@chrisbrown5m I'm personally so fucking tired of people it's sick! Who made y'all god!!!! Society is fucking overrated and a bunch of followers. We don't know who upset Chris last night but it wouldn't be wise to catch a fade from Chris.  We all know how that could end up (just ask Big Pat).  Calm your nerves Breezy....

LOVE IN THE CLUB: NEW COUPLE Denyce Lawton & Darrin Henson Get Cozy In Miami Posted: 06 May 2013 05:33 AM PDT In case you didn't know, actress Denyce Lawton and actor/fitness dude Darrin Henson are a new couple.  Didn't know?  No worries, neither did we.  Until we came across a few pics of the two getting way cozier than friends at a club in Miami.    Check out the twosome having some fun inside.... Well looky here.  Hottie Denyce Lawton, who most recently starred on Eva Marcille's reality show "Girlfriend Confidential" and the webseries "Almost Home," has a new boo.  She's gone from a long term relationship with actor Wesley Jonathan, to a rumored & alleged side-piece situation with Columbus Short, to now dating Mr. Henson. The cutesy twosome, who both celebrated their own birthdays this month, was spotted hosting a birthday celebration at Club Play in Miami Saturday night. And they snapped a few pics together having some fun:   Apparently, the two started dating around the time of the Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage Cruise last month.  They snapped this pic on the boat together: And last week, Denyce showed off the spa day present from her "bae" as she calls him, and Darrin calls her his lady constantly and showed off the Dodgers VIP tickets she got him on his big day. Nice!   Photos: WENN/Instagram

MORE FROM THE SET: Eva Marcille STEAMS IT UP In A Colorful Bikini For Jennifer Lopez's "Live It Up" Video Posted: 06 May 2013 04:16 AM PDT We can't tell if this is just some fun beach time for model chick Eva Marcille, or work for a video shoot.  It's supposed to be the latter as she's in Miami on the set of Jennifer Lopez's new video, but she's making it look pretty fun and easy.   Check out pics from the set inside, plus Jenny making her hot arrival... In more pics from the set of Jennifer Lopez's "Live It Up" video on Miami Beach, Eva Marcille flossed her slim & trim model bod in a colorful bikini as she filmed some scenes:   Who knew she had THIS many tatts?    Apparently there's a thong underneath those bikini briefs.  And she wanted the cameras to see. And she drank it up while on set as well.  Must be nice...   Gorge. Meanwhile, Jenny showed up looking gorge to her own set with Pitbull:     And with her man Casper Smart as well, of course. Looks like it's going to be a fun & hot one.   Photos: Pacific Coast News

FRESH OFF THE BABYMOON: Kanye West & Kim K.'s Dinner Date In NYC Posted: 05 May 2013 10:12 PM PDT Kanye's back with his baby moms...in the same city. After jetsetting to Greece with her family as the E! cameras rolled, then skipping over to London for the Mrs. Carter Tour show, Kim K. met up with her man Kanye West in NYC on Sunday.   Pics of their dinner date inside.... Kanye threw on his fave leather pants and fringed boots to go to dinner at a friend's apartment in New York with his girlfriend Kim, who rocked a satin finished pencil dress accented with a flower on the bust and white pumps.  And reports state that "friend" is none other than fashion's HBIC Anna Wintour.  Hopefully Kimmy impressed Anna because Monday night's the Met Ball, and we all know Anna is pissy Kim will be there as Kanye's date this year.   That baby bump is in full force as Kim's reportedly in her 7th month.  On another note, that cell phone looks like it's about to press ALL the way through the pocket of those pants they're so damn tight. Anywho, the hand holding couple look happy as pie.  So looks like all is well in their world..

Chris Brown Confirms He & Rihanna Are "Doing Their Own Thing" & He's Seeing Other Girls+ Iggy Azalea Drops "Bounce" Video + Justin Timberlake Announces "20/20 Experience PART 2" Release Date Posted: 05 May 2013 07:47 PM PDT If you're waiting for sweet messages from Rihanna to Chris Brown on his birthday today, you'll be waiting a while.  Because Chris just revealed publicly that he and Rih Rih have gone their separate ways.  And he's seeing other girls.   Check out his latest interview, plus Iggy Azelea's new "Bounce" video and Justin Timberlake's new release date.... Breezy rang in his 24th birthday in Vegas last night.  But it was his new interview, with “The Kyle & Jackie O” radio show, that is catching all the attention. Apparently, the reason we haven't seen Breezy & Rihanna together in several weeks is because they're now doing their own thing.  Yep, the poster couple for breakups to makeups is currently on a downturn.  But no worries, Chris says he'll always love her. Chris said on the show, “The way I look at it is… I’m always going to love that person, but people have differences, and people have different wants and needs.” “At the end of the day [Rihanna’s] a young girl. I can’t really be focused on wife-ing somebody that young… and I’m young too,” said the birthday boy. “I just got to step forward and be a man and be the best Chris Brown I can be, instead of worrying about whoever else is going to be in my side pocket.” And by side pocket, do we mean Karrueche?  Your ex who showed up at you b-day party in L.A. the other night?  Maybe, since Chris went on to say he's got other women on his mind. “I want to really see as many girls as possible.  I’m going to do [my birthday] solo. At the end of the day, [Rihanna’s] already doing her thing, she’s on the road…” Well... Check out the full interview below:   Iggy Azelea just dropped her newest video for her track she released for the UK, "Bounce."   The Aussie rapper is well on her way to releasing her debut studio album The New Classic. And this video was a nod to her love of fantasy. It was shot in Mumbai with elephants walking down the streets and all for goodness sake. Check it.   And Justin Timberlake promised a Part 2 to his already double platinum hit album The 20/20 Experience. Tonight, he hopped on Instagram to show himself recording some tracks in the studio while playing the guitar....and the release date was revealed as September 30th. Get suited up, it's coming...

LeBron James Gives His "Wife-To-Be" Major Thanks During MVP Ceremony, Savannah Brinson Gushes Over Her "Mr. MVP" Posted: 05 May 2013 03:21 PM PDT It was a Miami Heat lovefest this afternoon as LeBron "King" James accepted his 4th NBA MVP Award.  Check out his official trophy photoshoot, the sweet words he had for his wife and his mom, plus how his fab fiancee' Savannah Brinson gushed about her boo.... Bron Bron joined the company of four legends today as the only NBA players to become 4-time MVPers.  And the Heat baller's fiancee, their kids, his teammates and his mom, Gloria James, were all at the American Airlines Arena to watch him accept his Award.

With me being a professional athlete and not being home every day or as much as you would like, I thank you for your support and what you do for our boys."   And he even thanked HER parents for helping their family so much while both Bron & Savannah travel for road games and wedding planning: "I don't even think they know I'm about to thank them, but this is for my Future mother and father-in-law. I thank them for the sacrifices they make every single day for our two boys. When I'm traveling on the road and playing games and Savannah's all over the world having wedding meetings about a table or a chandelier going up, you guys wake up in the morning and take LeBron, Jr. and Bryce to school every single day, pick them up every single day, pick them up from practice and help them with their homework. You guys are a blessing to me more than you guys know. And I appreciate you so much." Sweet!  Check out Bron's full acceptance speech below:     Congrats!  The Heat start Game 1 of Round 2 of the playoffs against the Bulls tomorrow night in Miami.   Photots: Instagram/NBA

Before Zonnique and "A1 Uno" zoomed off to Westlake High School prom on a rainy Atlanta night Saturday, the two posed for pics at home.  Loving Niq Niq's dress--for her--and the makeup is pretty as usual.  We hear they were the highlight of the prom, as to be expected when the kiddies of two rappers make a big entrance together.  Proud mama Tiny tweeted about how proud she was of her first born, and T.I. called his baby girl absolutely "beautiful." Check out their Keek video from the car below:       Zonnique's ex-OMG Girlz groupmate Reginae Carter posted some fun silfies with her dad Lil Wayne's "fiancee" Dhea: She flashed that yellow diamond ring that Weezy still won't admit is an engagement ring.  Meanwhile, Nae's mom Toya Wright is chillin in Cabo on vacay with friends.   And Diddy's son Justin Combs is back on the football field at UCLA for spring practice.  The cutie was redshirted during his Freshman year last season and is there on a full football scholarship: And he signed some autographs for a few kid fans who came out to watch:   Sweet!   The Randomness: 1.  Now that Miami Heat star Mario Chalmers has a contract extension and more money, his baby moms is taking him back to court to get more child support money.  STORY   Photos: Instagram

FIGHT NIGHT: Kelly Rowland Sings "The National Anthem" And Lil' Wayne Escorts Floyd Mayweather Jr. To The Boxing Ring...Performing "No Worries" Posted: 05 May 2013 11:09 AM PDT Over in Vegas for the big fight last night, Kelly Rowland sang the national anthem as Floyd Mayweather prepared to battle Robert Guerrero. Watch the video inside and see Lil' Wayne escort Floyd to the ring....   Last night, boxing fans (and a crowd of 15,880) watched boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. retain his world welterweight championship title after beating Robert Guerrero at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.  He walked away with $32 million after going 12 rounds and being scored 117-111.  All in a day's work. But before the fight, fans got a side show worth mentioning.  Floyd was escorted to the ring by Lil' Wanye, who seems to have recovered nicely after suffering ANOTHER seizure in the past few days. Apparently Weezy is serving as 50 Cent's "replacement" (because 50 and Floyd are no longer besties). And for R&B fans, the gorgeous Kelly Rowland took to the center of ring to battle the national anthem. And she won. Watch Floyd walk to the ring as Lil' Wayne performs "No Worries": Watch Kelly Rowland sing the national anthem below:   Floyd Mayweather is currently 44-0 with 26 KOs, and plans to fight again on Sept. 14.  That's why they call him "Money."   The Randomness: 1.  Lil' Kim is being sued by her former business manager.  Story.
