Chilli SPILLS DEETS On Usher BREAK-UP, Says "Confessions" WAS NOT About Her + TLC's Founder Penning Unnecessary "Tell-All" Posted: 21 Oct 2013 09:41 AM PDT TLC singer Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas is spilling the deets on her breakup with pop star Usher.  Read what she confessed about the split and get the deets on TLC's founder member Crystal Selene Jones and her upcoming TLC tell-all inside.     In an exclusive interview with US Magazine, TLC's Chilli spilled the deets on her public-breakup with Usher.  Chilli debunked the rumor that Usher's 2004 Confessions album was about her (she never said he never cheated on her...just that the album wasn't about her) and revealed that the songs were REALLY about Jermaine Dupri's love life. "We were together when he recorded that album. All of those songs on Confessions, that was about Jermaine Dupri's situation. Usher was just singing it. But people kind of bought into it, it was just the timing of our breakup when the album came out. So people assumed that album was about us, but it was not. And Usher and I weren't oil and water. We broke up because I guess it was that time or whatever....he was that real love for me." And about those cheating rumors...Chilli stayed mum on Usher's extracurricular activities, simply repeating that it was time to make a "move". "In any relationship, even when it came to my relationship with Usher, when it was time to make a move, I had to do that. I don't care how much my heart was hurting, sometimes you're just supposed to be with people for a reason and it's not always a lifetime. Even if you want it to be, it just doesn't work out that way." She also revealed: "I'll always love him, forever, because he was my first adult love, a real love....we're cool, we're really cool. There's no hard feelings, nothing like that. It's all good."   Kinda love it. In other TLC news...... Crystal Selene Jones, the founding member of TLC, announced on Twitter that she's penning her own tell-all book about the group and their earlier stages called TLC...My Story, The Awakening of A Shattered Dream.   In a series of tweets, she commented that her book is near completion and that she's excited about the VH1 movie.   Just not sure it's really necessary at this point, but OK boo.... Crystal also shared an interesting "throwback" article discussing how she initially connected with Left Eye and T-Boz (who were originally nicknamed QT and Madame T).   SIDEBAR:     We assume Pebbles--who Chilli & T-Boz have been blastign during their promo tour--is waiting until AFTER the movie airs to return to Twitter (and maybe the courtroom) with her "cross examination". The VH1 movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story airs tonight at 8pmCT. Photos via Wireimage/Crystal Jones Facebook & Twitter

COUPLES NIGHT OUT: Robin Thicke & Paula Patton In London + Evan Ross & Ashlee Simpson Do L.A. + Babyface & Nicole's Dinner Date Posted: 21 Oct 2013 08:14 AM PDT Over the weekend, Robin Thicke & Paula Patton, Evan Ross & Ashlee Simpson & Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds & Nicole Patenburg were all spotted out on the town. Pics of the couples inside... Sunday night, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton were seen leaving Boujis Nightclub in London. We can tell from the glint in Robin's eyes and from the sight of Paula being "held up" by an escort that our favorite "party" couple were extra turned up all night... While Robin's song "Blurred Lines" remains a huge hit the UK, the couple also celebrated the UK release of Baggage Claim earlier this month.  For Paula's sake, we hope the international ticket sales exceed the US box office tally.     In Hollywood...... Following a trip to Target to stock up on ramen noodles, Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson were spotted arriving at a club in Hollywood last night. Tonight, fans will see Evan, in his breakout role, as Dallas Austin in Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story on VH1 at 8pmCT.   Also in L.A.: Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds was seen leaving Katsuya restaurant with girlfriend Nicole.   On the way to his vehicle, Babyface, who's releasing Love, Marriage & Divorce with Toni Braxton on Dec. 3, crossed over The Hollywood Walk of Fame where he recently received his own "star".  Nice! Wonder if these two will ever make it official.  Or did that marriage to Tracey scar dude for life?   Photos via PCN

Tasha Marbury Remains Mum About Stephon Paying More Money To Mistress Posted: 21 Oct 2013 07:52 AM PDT Former NBA baller Stephon Marbury had to cough up even more money to his family chef turned mistress to keep her quiet....despite the fact everyone already knows about how affair.  And interestingly, his wife Tasha has remained mum about it all.   Deets inside... After the big blowup with Suzy Ketcham on "Basketball Wives" about this very subject of Stephon and his mistress, Tasha Marbury seemed unfazed about the newest development,. She addresses many things on her Twitter account, but she seems to keep things about her husband--who seems to only have that title legally--extra mum. News hit the media this weekend about Stephon owing $340,000 MORE in cash to that mistress Thurayyah Mitchell.   He owed her $900,000 total after he was ordered to keep to his legal "hush money" agreement with her that was made after he banged her in 2006. Apparently, Stephon decided to stop paying around the $600K mark.  And Thurayyah and her cookbooks dragged him back to court for the rest  So just recently, the full nearly million dollar payout has finally been completed. We doubt this will make Tasha like his ass again...seeing that she rarely ever even addresses his existence....but they're still legally married. Photo: Tasha's IG

NEW MUSIC: Lady Gaga's "Do What You Want" Featuring R.Kelly + Kanye West's Canadian Tour Date POSTPONED Posted: 21 Oct 2013 06:41 AM PDT Lady Gaga's second ARTPOP single, "Do What U Want" features the sex-song godfather himself, R. Kelly.  Listen to the track inside and find out when Canadian fans will get to see Kanye West and his Jesus impersonator.   Lady Gaga teamed up with R. Kelly for the second single from her ARTPOP disc (in stores November 11th).  On the track, Lady Gaga croons some pretty interesting lyrics to the "Panty-Dropper" like: "You can't have my heart. You can't stop my voice / 'cause you don't own my life.....but do what you want with my body." No love or commitment? We're not prudes, but we know a lot of Lady Gaga's "Little Monsters" are teens and tweens so this might not be the best "message" for youngers with raging hormones.  But she is a talented artist who's going a different direction this time around....so we shall see. While the song does have sexual connotations, it's apparent that there's also a social message about rising above the critiques inflicted upon individuals.  At the end of the song, she repeats the chorus but adds, "Do what you want with my body.....world."  Food for thought? The track hit #1 on iTunes a few hours after its release and is featured in a new campaign from Beats By Dr. Dre.   In other music news.... Though Kanye West climbed a 60-foot tower in Seattle over the weekend and had Jesus in tow (despite a 2-hour delay), last night's "Yeezus" concert in Canada was postponed until October 31st.    Although Kanye's team has not explained why Sunday's show was cancelled, we're gonna go out on a limb and say Jesus was "booked".     *UPDATE* Vancity Buzz reports that the concert was cancelled because the crew (who traveled from Seattle, WA) did not have enough time to setup.   The Randomness: 1.  Cee-Lo Green cleared of sexual assault charges in ecstasy case.  Story.   2.  Venus Williams sells home to her mom for $10!.  Story.   Photos via Kim Kardashian's Instagram/DDOTOMEN

Photographers spotted unsigned-NBA baller Lamar Odom heading to a children's Halloween party in Studio City, CA yesterday.  We've noticed that Lamar's been looking a lot healthier these days.  He's also becoming more visble and we've seen him dining out with friends a lot this week. Although fears about Lamar's health are being pushed to the backburner, an interesting tidbit that came from all of this drama was the revelation that Khloe Kardashian is set to inherit the bulk of Lamar's estate and life insurance if anything happens to him.  Yes....we understand that she's his wife but doesn't he have two kids with Liza Morales?  Hmmm..   In other Kardashian related news.... Last night, Kanye West kicked off his highly anticipated "Yeezus Tour" in Seattle, WA with an appearance from Jesus.
