Timbaland's Wife Files For Divorce...And She Wants Money For Both Her Kids...Including The One That Isn't Timbo's! Posted: 16 Oct 2013 08:04 PM PDT Timbaland may be having the best year ever as super producer for hip hop's biggest acts.  But his wife Monique just filed for DIVORCE.  Deets and what she's asking for inside... In a surprising split, Monique Mosely has just filed for divorce from super producer Timbaland.  The couple has been married for 5 years and has been together 10.  And for that reason...Mo wants MO money for MO kids.  Not just the one Timbaland fathered. TMZ reports that Monique is asking for child support, school expenses, vacay money and everything else for both their 5-year-old daughter...and her 10-year-old from a previous relationship. Apparently, Monique says since Timb has publicly claimed the older child as his...so that makes him the default daddy.  No word on what that makes the man who ACTUALLY fathered the child and what that man is/isn't paying. Here's the rundown of what Monique wants: Monique wants alimony, life insurance, private school, vacations, summer camp and other expenses. She says she's so strapped for cash, she had to borrow money from a friend to pay her lawyer. She wants Timbaland -- who's worth around $80 mil -- to foot the lawyer's bill. One more thing. She wants to get Timbaland coming and going. In the alimony department, she says she wants money while divorce proceedings are pending, she wants a lump sum, she wants "rehabilitative alimony," and permanent alimony. Good luck with that Timbo...   Extras: 1.  Cory Booker won the US Senate race in New Jersey!  STORY   Photo: Getty

MAGAZINES: Cassie COVERS "VIBE VIXEN", REVEALS What She's LEARNED From Diddy, If She WANTS Kids & Dispells RUMOR She Signed With Drake Posted: 16 Oct 2013 01:25 PM PDT "Numb" singer Cassie posed for the latest cover of VIBE VIXEN where she recounted what lessons she's learned from Diddy, if she signed to Drake's label and revealed the moment she realized she was a "Bad Girl".  See what she said inside....    Inside the latest issue of VIBE VIXEN, Diddy's muse and girlfriend Casse reveals to the magazine that she actually went through an awkward stage and wasn't always a confident and stylish woman. When asked how she grew out of that stage, she realized, “Sometimes in life, you need a change … Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of. Something that displays the ‘I don’t give a f—’ attitude that was always present, but never showcased, something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.” After she began modeling at age 12, Cassie soon experienced a coming-of-age moment on a photoshoot.   "I did Cosmo Girl and they do a beauty issue every year and I was [shooting] for skin. It was a little bit risqué for 16. I had my little boy shorts on and I was covered up, kneeling down. That came out and people saw it, even my parents were shocked to finally see what I had grown into. That was kind of a pivotal moment.” Elsewhere in the piece, she discusses rumors that she's working with Drake:  “I honestly don’t know where that came from but I had heard about it. I went to the OVO Festival in Canada, which was really dope, but no, I’m currently signed to Bad Boy and Interscope. Drake and I talked at the festival about working together, so hopefully that comes into fruition."Cassie discusses plans for her second album, whether she uses her good looks to her advantage and her love of the outdoors.   Read a portion of the Q-n-A here: VIBE Vixen: There’s a level of confidence that’s so evident in the way you present yourself these days. You aren’t hesitant to talk that shit on RockaByeBaby. What caused the transformation? Cassie: Most of the things that have happened to me have been very organic. The first thing that I actually put out was the “All Gold, All Girls (Remix)” with Trina and Lola Monroe. That was where the sound kind of started. The first song I recorded for the actual mixtape was “Numb” and then I added Rick Ross to it. It was a vibe that I was creating and the story came to be from the attitude of the songs. Like you said, I was talking a lot of shit. I was really putting myself out there but I love the fact that I finally got the chance to do something with the attitude that I have. You hold back to a certain extent when everybody is saying, “This needs to go to a chart and that’s the only way it can be successful.” But no, you can be successful by making music that people love. We got over 2 million downloads on this mixtape that I never ever imagined at all. Here’s a saying, “You are the company that you keep” and you’ve been linked to super-talented musicians/businessmen. What’s the key to maintaining a relationship when both parties have established careers? The key to maintaining any relationship—be it a romantic relationship or a friendship—is honesty and communication. I travel so much, host parties and I just signed a new deal with Skam Artist, who predominantly DJs in the same bookings that they do at different parties. It’s New York, Chicago, Vegas so I’m constantly going. So you’re going to start mastering the turntables now? I hope it gets to that. I’ve been slowly but surely learning how to DJ. I’m really interested in learning how to do the turntables and I really want to do both dance and hip-hop. Dance is easier actually to mix when you’re DJing, but old school hip-hop and finding the real beat in there is way more difficult. Has Diddy inspired you to run your own empire? Was there an important business lesson you learned from him? Absolutely. Just being around him is a completely inspiring experience. Starting my own empire would be great. I’m trying to figure that out. I’m still working with Cassie Enterprises right now but I think that would be something I would love to do.

PARTY FAB: Keyshia Cole CELEBRATES Her 32nd Birthday With Husband Daniel "Bobbie" Gibson, Jas Prince & Kevin McCall Posted: 16 Oct 2013 01:17 PM PDT Singer Keyshia Cole celebrated her 32nd birthday last night alongside her husband, Daniel Gibson and their closest friends and family.  See Keyshia partying with Jas Prince, Kevin McCall and others inside....

Beyonce Eyeing DECEMBER 2013 For MASSIVE Single Release + Bey's Backstage Rider REVEALED Posted: 16 Oct 2013 12:48 PM PDT Industry insiders say Beyonce is making plans to prove that she's the one to "Bow Down" to with the release of a top secret single in December....after pop queens Britney and Katy Perry do their things.  Get the deets on Mrs. Carter's forthcoming chart takeover inside....    As we all know by now, Beyonce has been recording new music (while touring with The Mrs. Carter Show). Now sources say she is preparing to release a new single before the end of the year.  And according to the NY Daily News, the massive promotional campaign that Columbia Records is preparing will leave no doubt that Bey is the true Queen.   While Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears  have much-hyped singles on the charts, NY Daily News says Beyonce is waiting on ALL of them to release their albums so when her single drops, it will show her chart dominance and superiority.   "Many in the industry have gotten intel that Beyoncé will put out a single in the fourth quarter, some time from late November to early December. It’s an official single and it’s timed perfectly to push out all the others. It will be out before the end of the year." We told you about the "Love On Top" chick teaming up with famed-celebrity photographer Terry Richardson to shoot the Coney Island-themed video for her "secret" single few months ago and a source claims that Pepsi Co. and Columbia Records have allegedly picked December 3rd as the release date for the project.   Although a source told the Daily News, "There is a noticeable hole in Columbia Records’ Q4 release schedule and it’s going to be Beyoncé’s release,” Bey's record label said there are “no confirmed dates” for its release just yet.   In other Beyonce news..... InTouch Magazine published a copy of Beyonce "alleged" Backstage rider for her upcoming single and hell, she deserves everything she wants.  While the magazine described some of the items as "Over-The -Top Demands", we don't see anything all that out of the ordinary. Especially not for the Queen Bey....   Photos via Beyonce Instagram

So...Adrian Peterson's Secret Babies & Babies' Mamas Are Coming Out The Woodwork (The Count Is ALLEGEDLY At 5) Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:56 AM PDT When one secret falls out, they all seem to fall out.  NFL star Adrian Peterson, who's been deemed one of the most upstanding men in the league, has more babies and babies' mamas than we all thought....allegedly.   Deets inside... Once news surfaced of a secret unnamed 2-year-old son he recently found out what his, more babies' mamas have popped out the woodwork. While the world already knew about his toddler son, Adrian, Jr. via the pics Adrian posts and a now 8-year-old son that he mentioned in a documentary back in 2009.  But there's more where that came from. TMZ reports that multiple women have come forward about being the mother of Adrian's children.   Today, a Dallas woman named Erica Syion has come out about the 4-year-old son she an Adrian have together.  Adrian also referenced a second son in that 2009 documentary, which was very likely Erica's son.  TMZ reports: Sources connected to the situation tell us ... the two have a financial arrangement, in which Adrian gives Erica money to pay for the kid's schooling, as well as living expenses. We're told the two met in Houston back in 2007 ... but their relationship has deteriorated in the past few years. Sources tell us Adrian IS involved in the child's life -- but Erica is the primary parent, with Adrian visiting when he can. Interestingly, yesterday, an unnamed Minnesota waitress came forward about Adrian being the father of her 3 month old son.  While TMZ didn't provide much proof other than some chick telling them this and sending a pic of the baby in Minnesota Vikings gear, it wouldn't be all that shocking. His other 2-year-old son whom he just met, whose mother is this woman Ashley Doohen, tragically died last week at the hands of Ashley's boyfriend.  And while there are also alleged pics of the now late son on that same site as the Ashley woman's pictures, Adrian tweeted that he isn't releasing pics of the baby. My son Adrian Jr. who lives w/me is healthy. Appreciate the concern. We respectfully ask to stop tweeting his pics. We are currently not posting photos of my son who passed away. Thank u for your understanding. He's nowhere near NFLer Antonio Cromartie's double digits of kids....but still...   Photos: TMZ/Adrian's IG

WHOA WORTHY: Kerry Washington Set to Host "SNL" + Future Teams With Miley Cyrus For "Real And True" VIDEO (PICS) Posted: 16 Oct 2013 11:11 AM PDT   Emmy-nominated actress Kerry Washington is about to flex her star power and will host an upcoming episode of SNL.  Find out when Kerry will hit Studio 8H inside and see pics from Future's "Real And True" video shoot with Miley Cyrus.   "Scandal" actress and fashion-darling Kerry Washington will head to Rockefeller Center to host an episode of SNL on November 2nd.  With rapper Eminem as the musical guest, it will mark Kerry's debut as the host of SNL.   While we have a hard time remembering that last time a black female performer hosted SNL, the lack of diversity on the broadcast made headlines recently when comedian Kenan Thompson (one of the two Black male performers on the show) told TV Guide that there were no Black females on SNL because, “It’s just a tough part of the business. Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready.” Obviously, this caused an uproar amongst the masses, es. lack female comics (like Sherri Shepherd) who ay Lorne Michaels & "SNL" simply don't do the worl to find the qualified black female comedians. Speaking of diversity, in case you were wondering why we don't see many female "characters" in the show's sketches, he revealed that his fellow Black castmate Jay Pharoah has no desire to dress in drag. “I don’t know. We just haven’t done them. That’s what I’m saying. Maybe [Jay Pharoah] will do it or something, but even he doesn’t really want to do it.” Kenan.....we think you and Jay need to help recruit some more talent! There is definitely a Black comedienne (or several actually) SOMEWHERE in the United States and beyond who's is ready to become a primetime player.   In other SNL news.... In addition to hitting the road with "The Electric Tour" and her hit single "Primetime" featuring Miguel burning up the charts, the "Electric Lady" will perform on SNL on October 26th. In new music.... This week, E! News published exclusive pics from Future's video shoot for his "Real And True" single featuring Miley Cyrus.  In the photos, the twerk-queen plays an alien who's bathed in metallic body paint. The track will appear on Future's upcoming album Honest while the video will be released on Friday, October 18.   If you're wondering how Future enlisted Miley to appear on the album (can't be that hard since every rapper is clamoring to work with her and she's accepting all offers it seems), he told RapFix Live, "I worked with Miley Cyrus when we were working on her project, for her album. I was doing some records in Vegas and Mr. Hudson sent a hook back he did on a Mike Will track. He played it for Miley and she wanted to be a part of it, so I'm putting the record on my album also."   Future also appears on Miley's new Bangerz album on a track called "My Darlin".  He told MTV News, "We got a lot of great records, and it all came from conversation and having a nice vibe," the Atlanta rapper said. "Whenever she allowed me in her personal life through conversation, I tried to take that vibe and go to the booth. I told her, 'You've gotta embrace your fears. If something's bothering you, you've gotta run toward it. If you're crying about it, you need to cry till you can't cry anymore. If you try to hold it back, then it's gonna eat you up. But if you embrace [it], the music moves." In case you missed it, Miley recently teamed up with French Montana to spit a "Versace"-inspired verse on the "Ain't Worried About Nothin" remix.  Listen to here.   Photos via Janelle Monae's Instagram / Frank Micelotta/Dan Steinberg/Invision for Epic Records/AP Images

Celebs Hit The "Crazy Sexy Cool: TLC Story" Red Carpet Premiere Posted: 16 Oct 2013 10:19 AM PDT The cast and original TLC members made their arrivals for last night's premiere of the VH1 original movie "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story".  Check out the ladies and the celeb guests support one of the best selling girl groups of all time... T-Boz & Chilli were front and center for their big night.  The movie that documents TLC's triumphs ad struggles in this industry is officially here.  And the VH1 movie premiered last night at Loews Lincoln Square Theater in NYC. Of course, the ladies portraying the group members--Drew Sidora, Lil Mama and KeKe Palmer--were there to celebrate.  Not loving any of these looks except for Lil Mama's.  Chick has done a total 180 recently. Drew snapped a pic with a pic with a promo poster.  And this....outfit.  Hopefully she was going for a Halloween theme. KeKe's dress looked straight out the 90's.  But she's a fab chick nonetheless. T-Boz brought her daughter Chase and Chilli brought her son Tron.    Rochelle Aytes, who's playing Pebbles, rocked a sexy black and nude panel dress. Evan Ross--who plays Dallas Austin--brought along his mom Diana and sister Rhonda.  And, of course, his girlfriend Ashlee Simpson. And Missy popped up on the carpet to support her girls as well.   T-Boz & Chilli also hit up "The View" this morning and revealed how odd it was to watch others play them.  And they also revealed Lil Mama was their very first choice in who they wanted to play Left Eye, especially since she showed up to the audition totally in character and the resemblance was uncanny! "The TLC Story" airs on VH1 October 21st. Photos: Splash/INF
