JAVA LOVE: Eddie Murphy & Girlfriend Paige Butcher GET CUDDLY During Morning COFFEE Run Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:40 AM PDT Funnyman Eddie Murphy and model Paige Butcher were spotted in a warm embrace during their early morning coffee run. See their pics inside.... Comedian Eddie Murphy was seen escorting his girlfriend, model Paige Butcher, out of his Mercedes for their early morning run to Coffee Bean on Tuesday.  But this time they got all cuddled up and didn't care about the cameras.   Following his very brief fling with ET news anchor Rocsi Diaz, Paige has been a constant fixture in Eddie's life since his SPIKE TV tribute last year.      The two love birds could barely keep their hands off each other while they waited for their coffee to brew. Once Eddie escorted Paige back to their car, he waved to the photographers as he walked back to his side of the Benz.  And we all know he doesn't love the media. Meanwhile, Eddie recently shot a tv movie for the USA network based on his hit 1984 flick Beverly Hills Cop.   Photos via FameFlynet Pictures

According to the press release, the book features helpful advice on gaining intimacy in your relationship and better communication. The guide covers a variety of topics that range from dating to being an expert at oral sex.  You know, things we've all just been dying to hear Jackie Christie talk about.... Sexual Relations will also feature candid and revealing sexual antidotes from Jackie and Doug (errr.....) along with some of entertainment's most buzz worthy celebrities. Sexual Relations: A His & Hers Guide To Greater Intimacy will be available in all book stores November 15th 2013.  Chile, we're just the messenger.   In other "BBW" news........ Tami Roman, star of "BBW Miami", has just inked a lucrative distribution deal with Walgreens for her cosmetics line "TR Love." The line features uniquely packaged lip gloss sets named after women whom she admires and will be available in over 400 Walgreens stores nationwide this December! Tami spoke about the Walgreens partnership saying, "I’m really excited about the lip gloss and nail polish because we just inked a deal with Walgreens so I’m one of the few people who was afforded the opportunity to take a private line into a retail situation." Some of the women whom Tami has named her lip gloss colors after include Khloe Kardashian, Wendy Williams & Cicely Tyson. Also, a portion of all lip gloss proceeds will be donated to the Akasha Center in Santa Monica, CA in honor of Tami's late mother.

NeNe Leakes & Paula Patton Explain Their Pre-Nup Positions On "WWHL" + FULL EPISODE Of "I Dream Of NeNe" Posted: 18 Sep 2013 07:33 AM PDT Paula Patton & NeNe Leakes made their way to the Bravo Clubhouse last ngiht for an episode of "Watch What Happens Live."  And the two actresses dished to Andy Cohen about pre-nups, fave parts on their husbands, and a little shade.   Check out pics and video inside, plus the full episode of "I Dream Of NeNe" in case you missed it... The "Baggage Claim" actress and the "Glee" and "RHOA" star (yep, NeNe revealed she'll be returning next season) chopped it up with Andy about pre-nups last night on "WWHL." While Paula said she and husband Robin Thicke don't have one since they met at 15 and got married super young, NeNe said she's ALL about that pre-nup.  The reality star dished: "I just want the pre-nup to lay things out if something happens.  It's just a smart move.  I don't care what your polls say..." Peep the video clip above.   A viewer also asked how long it took for Paula to wash off Miley Cyrus's funk off her husband's Beetlejuice outfit after their VMAs performance.  Paula said her hubby's outfit was fly...and she wasn't surprised by the dance. She found it to be no big deal since the song is about taking Molly and dancing naked. "What did people think was going to happen....Miley was going to be sitting and playing at a piano?" Ha.  Check out the video below:   A few more pics from the show set:   Looking fab ladies!   And in case you missed the premiere of NeNe's Bravo wedding special "I Dream of Nene", we've got it got you below.  Check it:     Photos: Bravo

ON THE BRINK: Tasha Marbury's Husband Stephon Reportedly Losing NYC Home To Foreclosure Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:55 AM PDT NBA baller turned overseas baller Stephon Marbury is reportedly losing his NYC home, after having lost his L.A. home.  And it's all thanks to a little thing called foreclosure.  Can that new VH1 money is wife is bringing in help out?   Deets inside... The newest "Basketball Wives" star Tasha Marbury may not have an NYC condo to dip in or film from any longer.  Because her hubby--we're still confused on their relationship status after all his publicized cheating, but they're not yet divorced--allegedly hasn't paid the mortgage and is now on the brink of foreclosure. TMZ reports: U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn't made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property ... which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars. U.S. Bank wants Marbury to pay the full amount NOW, or get the hell out ... so the condo can be sold at auction. Don't mess with the banks.  Especially since Stephon lost his L.A. home in foreclosure auction last year.  Not sure if either half of the couple cares....as long as Tasha can keep filming her "BBW" show and Stephon remains in China playing ball. By the way, if you're wondering how Tasha felt about her friend of 10 years and co-star, Evelyn Lozada, dishing that info about Stephon's affair(s) in her book Inner Circle....Tasha told VH1 this: “I was a little taken aback by it. I thought as friends you would tell your friend if you’re writing a book or something you were going to put a portion of their life in a book, I think it was kinda wrong for her to do that. At the time she said that she didn’t think that it would come out or whatever the case may be. I don’t have a strong position on it either way. I found out the first day I filmed. I had no idea because I never read her book. It was kinda thrown at me. It has nothing to do with us being as close or cool as we were in the past. I’ve moved upward and onward from it. I don’t dwell on it. I can’t go back and erase it, but I’m not going to let that overshadow my life and stop me from being the person I am.” Oh....   Photos: FabWags.com

Fantasia Bends It Over In Barbados During Beach Vacay Posted: 17 Sep 2013 09:33 PM PDT Fantasia's vacaying in Barbados this week.  And the "Collard Greens & Cornbread" singer is showing off all that hard work she's been putting in at the gym....and showing off how happy she really is. Before she embarks on her second Broadway production and the Soul Train Awards in November (where she's nominated for 3), singer Fantasia took some vacation time and hit up the beaches of Barbados this week. The "Without Me" singer spent time with her friends, fam and team (no baby daddies or exes...that we know of) rocking her bikini and showing off that bod she's been working so hard on. But first, she had to get in some twerking while the cameras watched. She and her crew took a boat out to the middle of the ocean to jetski and other ish.       And after all that twerking, drinking, jet skiing and whatever else, Fanny got something caught in her foot and 20 people from her entourage swooped in to check it out. Very likely a rock... Do you Fanny.   Photos: Splash   The Randomness: 1.  Alicia Keys has remained mum about throwing a party for her hubby Swizz Beatz at the wrong damn house in the Hamptons.  STORY

RUMOR CONTROL: Waka Flocka CONFIRMS He And Baby Momma Tammy Rivera Are BOOKED For "LAHH ATL", Says Gucci Mane Needs "Medical Attention" Posted: 17 Sep 2013 01:30 PM PDT Waka Flocka confirmed to "The Breakfast Club" that he and his baby momma Tammy Rivera will be on the next season on "LAHH ATL".  Listen to the interview inside and see what he said about Gucci Mane having a mental illness. Waka Flocka stopped by Power 105 recently where he confirmed to The Breakfast Club that he and his fiancee Tammy Rivera will be featured on the next season of LAHH ATL and that he thinks Gucci Man has "lost his noodles".  Here are the highlights: On Tammy: I been with Tammy...till this day she ain't never asked me for a dollar.  Only thing she like is clothes.  She's obsessed with fashion....she'd trade in fashion for me.   On "LAHH ATL": I'm not doing LAHH, my fiancee doing LAHH.  I'll be on an episode or two.   On Tammy's rumored $500K salary: That's cool....I won't have to buy anymore purses.   Once Tammy got wind of Flocka's interview, she tweeted a confirmation saying, "Cats Out The Bag". Waka (shown above with Tammy and her daughter) also discussed Gucci Mane, saying he needs medical help. On Gucci Mane: He talk crazy. On Waka disloyal?  How?  I'm not even trying to talk bad.  I met this guy he had clay Jordans, cowboy boots and he was sleeping in an old school Chevy.  He lived at my mom's house for two years rent free.  When you not bigger than somebody...its like Bruce Lee and your sensei.  Your sensei loves you, but when you whip their ass...it's a different story.   When I started going on tours, buying cars, buying jewelry....your conversation changed with me.  It messed with his ego. On still being signed to Waka: Man I been trying to buy that contract.  He's surviving off that money.  But I don't blame him.  Them ASCAP checks coming.   On if he thinks Gucci will ever let him out of his contract:   He ain't trying to get rid of that contract.  I want him to eat though.  I don't want him out like a bum.  But Gucci lost his noodles.  He really  needs medical attention.   Listen to the interview here:       Photos via Tammy Rivera's Instagram

Amber Riley Kills It On "DWTS" Debut Night, Christina Milian & Keyshawn Johnson Also Give Debut Performances Posted: 17 Sep 2013 09:44 AM PDT "Glee" star Amber Riley took off her acting hat and threw on her dancing shoes for her big "Dancing With The Stars" debut last night.  And she's not the only one who killed it.  Check out Christina Milian's big performance from night 1 inside, and Keyshawn Johnson struggling through a stiff but potential-having performance.... Season 17 of "DWTS" kicked off with a bang last night in Hollywood.  The YBF contestants took the dance floor to kick off the competition for the Mirror Ball trophy.  Even Jennifer Lopez popped up in the audience....to cheer on her bestie Leah Remini who's also on the roster. Our early fave: Amber Riley.  The curvy gal with the big personality posed it up with her mom before her performance (atop) and went on to cop the highest score of the night with partner Derek Hough. Check out their Cha Cha below: Yassss.  They got triple 9's from the judges.   Christina Milian had an emotional start to her rehearsals with partner Mark Ballas.  But she trudged through and gave a powerful performance:     And retired NFLer Keyshawn Johnson (cousin to Chad Jonson) with partner Sharna Burgess was....stiff:   He kept talking about how this dancing ish was a bit "feminine."  But he has the most potential to get better.  We hope...   And Corbin Bleu was another early fave of the crowd:   He and partner Karina Smirnoff nabbed a 24 out of 30.  Who knew Corbin actually had some talent outside High School Musical?   Photos: Amber's IG
