In the land of celebrity real estate, Robert Griffin III just dropped $2.5M on a pad in Northern Virginia while Kanye West is trying to unload his apartment in New York. Get the deets and the pics inside...
Washington Redskins Quarterback Robert Griffin III just dropped $2.5 million on just built Mcmansion in Northern Virginia.
Sitting on over three acres, the 9,000 square foot home is located in a luxurious golf course community and boasts five bedrooms, six baths and a wine cellar.
Though RGIII signed on with the Redskins in 2012 for a reported $21.1Million, he and fiancee Rebecca Liddicoat still want some free gifts. The twosome is registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and he thanked fans via WhoSay for sending gifts (pictured at the top) from the registry.
Congrats on the new digs!
In other real estate news.....
Kanye West's famed SOHO apartment is now on the market for $4.5 million. The fourth-floor unit, located at 25 West Houston St, which has seen the likes of Amber Rose AND Kim Kardashian (all in the same year), is said to feature a few unique "installations". Aside from the very minimalist nature of the decor, 'Ye's got some very interesting details around the pad. According to the NY Post, a broker explained that there is a long slender basin located five feet away from Kanye's bed in the master bedroom. “It’s the height of a normal sink, but it’s a huge, long, granite object, probably about 9 feet long but only a couple of feet wide. At the front is a sink. It was long and extremely narrow and very artsy-looking." The broker continued, “The apartment is amazing. If you like modern and sleek spaces, this is it.” Also, after vistors enter the apartment and walk down a narrow hallway, they are greated by a statue. “It looks like an angel, or a little boy Cupid, and it’s on a raised platform” We're sure most of Kanye's prized possession are now in Paris (it seems that's where he wants his next home to be in addition to the one he's looking for with Kim in L.A.), but folks who actually saw the interior noted that the master suite’s walk-in closet had a dozen pair of expensive sneakers (mostly all Jordans) and there was an angel statue in the living room.

| Trina Braxton Files Divorce Papers On Gabe...For Real This Time Posted: 01 Jun 2013 03:16 PM PDT
After we saw Gabe Solis on "Braxton Family Values" giving himself an extreme makeover, re-proposing to wife Trina Braxton, and renewing their wedding vows in front of the Braxton family, it seemed to have been too little too late.
Trina just pulled the trigger on the divorce... Looks like that reconciliation after their almost-divorce last year didn't work. Because Trina Braxton filed court papers in Georgia recently requesting a divorce from husband Gabriel Adrian-Solis, and citing the marriage is irretrievably broken. Back in February of 2012, Gabe was accused of engaging in internet sex--allegedly with a transvestite. The internet cheating was also highlighted on their reality show "Braxton Family Values," where Gabe admitted he is a sex addict. But he denied the internet sex with men rumors, despite picture proof. Mmhmm. Trina threatened to leave, but seemed to have taken him back with semi-open arms. The couple even renewed their vows on this season of the show. But oh wells. Now, TMZ reports that Trina wants the marriage to completely end...now:
Trina has two teenaged sons from a previous relationship. Do what you gotta do boo. |
| SOUND OF CHANGE CONCERT: Beyonce, Salma Hayek & More ROCK OUT In The Media Room Posted: 01 Jun 2013 01:11 PM PDT
Beyonce is keeping it flashy and fabulous backstage at today's Sound Of Change concert. Pics of Mrs. Carter hitting the media room with co-founders Salma Hayek and Frida Giannini, all before she takes the stage tonight...
Stunning gal Beyonce is taking one night off from her Mrs. Carter World Tour to pause right outside of London for a good cause. Chime For Change, the do-gooder Gucci-backed organization she co-founded with Salma Hayek and Frida Giannini, is putting on their big Sound Of Change fundraiser concert tonight at Twickenham Sports Stadium. While plenty of celebs have been announced on the line-up as performers and presenters--including Bey herself, Madonna and Timbaland, other details are being kept under wraps. But first, just hours ago, the fab ladies snapped pics backstage in the media room while donning gorgeous Gucci.
Bey posted a few of her own fun pics with the ladies:
And an in-depth explanation of what this is all about:
Bey performs at 4:10p EST. Check out a live stream HERE. Stay tuned for more from the concert...

Just when we thought we've seen the last of this Myla Sinanaj chick and Kris Humphries, we haven't. And while usually we would roll our eyes and give a mumbled "Bish Please" when someone is thirsty enough to keep dragging up old ish...this time, our ears are perked.
That's because Myla now has nothing to lose. And we all know what happens when bitter jumpoffs have nothing to lose. Check out how she just put Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on blast with some VERY likely truths inside...
You may remember Myla Sinanaj as the Kim K. knock off Kris Humphries ran to in NY/NJ when he and Kim K first called it quits, 72 days into their marriage. Kris never claimed Myla as his chick, only his neighbor. But more than enough evidence was eventually provided that proved she was indeed a neighbor with benefits. Myla met Kris while working as the overnight manager at a local W Hotel. So she had to stay quiet about everything she knew about the Kris/Kim/Kanye saga. That is...until chick stopped working there recently. And she's now making and swimming Swimsuits. Yep. (That's a sneak peak of her line above.) Since we're always here to lend an ear to a thirsty jumpoff (remember all her tales about being abused and being pregnant with Kris' child?) esp. one with good tea and nothing to lose, here it goes. Myla took to her Twitter last night after complaining about suffering from a migraine. She needed to get some ish out that was obviously burning her up.
Myla posted the above pic of a check that Kim Kardashian's lawyer (Laura Wasser) sent to her in order to get her to appear at the divorce deposition a few months ago....ON KIM'S BEHALF! Well isn't that clever of Kim....getting your almost ex-husband's jumpoff to go against him in a legal deposition in order to (likely) get her to expose some dirt on Kris? Not surprised. Chick claimed she didn't want to travel there to defend anybody's Kim K., so she told them she "didn't have gas money." And this check magically appeared to alleviate her of her financial stress. Myla said (read from bottom up):
To Kim's legal team's defense, our own legal sources tell us it's usually mandated by law that the person involved in the deposition must cover certain travel expenses of the person they are requesting the presence of, if said person lives a certain number of miles away from deposition site. In this case, Myla lives on the east coast and the deposition went down on the west coast. We're pretty sure that requires Kim's legal team to cut this chick a check to cover her travel expenses.
And Myla continued, exposing Kim & Kanye for their cheating ways (read from bottom up):
Wouldn't be surprised. Sip on THAT this hot Saturday afternoon....

| ON THE SET: The "TLAM Too" Cast Still Partying, Bonding & Filming In VEGAS Posted: 01 Jun 2013 10:34 AM PDT
The "Think Like A Man Too" cast is filming in Las Vegas and we've got another round-up of cute cast photos from behind the scenes. See LaLa, Gabrielle, Taraji, Regina, Meagan and more inside....
Think Like A Man Too honcho Will Packer shared a few pics from the Las Vegas set of the upcoming sequel, and the pics reveal a very close-knit cast...that loves to get their drink on and have some fun. While we've already seen a few candid pics of the cast in Las Vegas, a recent roundup of pictures shows how truly close the ladies (and gents) are getting.
Will playfully teased, "My face says it all: Why won't @lala behave??"
And we're not sure if these pedicures were a part of the film, or simply a director's treat, but Will reveal to his followers that he's good to his cast. He tweeted, "I know how to treat my Leading Ladies... @tarajiphenson @gabunion Regina Hall". Must be nice...
Not sure if Regina's ring is part of the movie, but the girls are living it up. And looking extra fab while doing so.
And actress Jennifer Lewis (who looks amazing) got in on the fun too.
With the script calling for the ladies to be in tip-top shape for their bikini scenes, Gabrielle and Lala clearly are killin' it! We see Lala's "60 Days Of Fitness" paid off. And Gabby looks straight out a SI swimsuit shoot. WORK.
And in between between filming scenes and getting her hair and makeup done, Taraji P. Henson had a little fun in bed with the male members of the cast, Terrence J, Romany Malco, Gary Owen and Jerry Ferrara.
And Lala gave the middle-finger wave to someone taking a quick flick of her and Meagan napping. Looks like these folks are having a grand old time shooting this film. Can't wait to see the finish product!
