J.Lo once portrayed Rihanna for an "SNL" skit, they often are caught in the same looks thanks to having the same stylists, and now, they will star in an upcoming animated flick together.
Check out the interesting role J.Lo's taken on, plus baller Braylon Edwards' response to supposedly getting in a scuffle last night in Detroit....
When Rihanna isn't busy having her $12 mill L.A. mansion broken into multiple times, she's working both on stage and off. The upcoming Dreamworks animated flick, Home, just got a new star. While Rihanna was previously announced as the lead animated voice over, starring opposite Jim Parsons, J.Lo and Steve Martin just got thrown into the action as well. The Wrap reports that Rihanna will lead as "the resourceful girl who avoids capture and unwittingly becomes the accomplice of a banished Boov (Parsons)." And it was just announced that Lopez will play the girl’s mother. The cutesy flick is based on the 2011 children's book The True Meaning of Smekday.
In other news, reports flew last night that former NJ Jet Braylon Edwards, who isn't a stranger to foolery, was arrested for fighting a photographer outside a Detroit nightclub last night. A male photog filed a police report yesterday naming Braylon as his attacker. He alleges when he shot video of Braylon pushing someone outside a Detroit nightclub, Braylon snapped at the photog, grabbed him by the ankles, and shook him upside down. The photog said he refused to let Braylon see the video footage when he asked, so Braylon snapped and flipped him over the concrete "Suge Knight style." While the photog is still claiming Braylon committed battery, Bray says it's all B.S.
Bloop.

| Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez Welcome Their Baby Boy! Posted: 06 Oct 2013 12:50 AM PDT
One of the sexiest couples in Hollywood just welcomed their first child together. Halle Berry is now a mom twice over as she and husband Olivier Martinez welcomed their baby boy into the world Saturday night!
Deets inside... Break out the cigars! Halle Berry just gave birth to the first child with new hubby, actor Olivier Martinez! According to Halle's rep, the 46-year-old actress, who has a 5-year-old daughter name Nahla with her ex Gabriel Aubrey, delivered the couple's son at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles Saturday night. People.com says that a source told them:
Awwww.
The rumors of the couple's first bundle of joy being on the way broke back in April. And the twosome haven't seemed happier since. Halle, who is set to star as the lead in an upcoming CBS show, didn't seem to miss a gorgeous step during her pregnancy. Halle said that this bouncing bundle of joy--especially at 46--was indeed a shocker.
Congrats to the couple on their first baby together, and Nahla on becoming a big sister!

In today's edition of ex "Basketball Wives" say the darndest things, Laura Govan just told the world where she believes Executive Producer (and cast member) Shaunie O'Neal went wrong with the new seasons of the franchise.
Check out the ho-shaming inside... After hitting the Star Magazine Scene Stealers Party this past week (pictured above), former "Basketball Wives: L.A." star Laura Govan has some sh*t to talk about Shaunie O'Neal. When the paparazzi cameras ran into Laura--the on-again off-again fiancee and babies' mama of Gilbert Arenas--she didn't hold back when talking about her beef with Shaunie. She says the recent employees/cast members of VH1's "Basketball Wives" and "Basketball Wives: LA" are, to put it nicely, wack. Apparently, Laura, who got the boot after the second season of her show, think Shaunie messed up by only putting hoes on the show. Instead of actual wives, that is.
That meeting of pot and kettle needs to happen STAT. But it's also pretty obvious she's blasting the likes of Draya, Bambi, Brooke and anyone else who joined the show for reasons never explained. They aren't married to ballers, weren't married to ballers, may or may not have even been engaged to a baller, and as far as we know don't have kids by a baller. Yes, we've heard the rumors about Draya's son's father possibly being a certain NBA baller, but it was never spoken about on the show. We understand her point about many people in both casts not fitting the criteria of the title. So we won't shoot the ironic messenger...

| Meet Jay-Z's Newest Roc Nation Signees -- Steven Spielberg's Kids Sasha & Theo! Posted: 05 Oct 2013 10:51 AM PDT
Jay-Z has a couple new super rich kids on his Roc Nation roster. He recently signed a sister/brother duo with an uber famous last name. Meet Sasha & Theo Spielberg inside... Whip your hair over to the left Willow Smith....because Hov & 'em have two new super rich kids of a super famous parent on his Roc Nation management roster. They're iconic Hollywood director/producer Steven Spielberg's kids, Sasha (23) & Theo (25).
Now, before you ask when Mr. Spielberg popped up with a black son, here's the deal: Steven's second & current wife, Kate Capshaw, adopted Theo before she married Steven. She also had a daughter from her previous marriage. Steven later adopted Theo as his own. So, with Steven's one child with his first wife and his many kids (both biological and adoptive) with his current (this includes Sasha), there are 7 children total in the Spielberg-Capshaw clan. Theo and Sasha arent just siblings, they're a musical duo who goes by the name of Wardell. And their website reflects their new Roc Nation management as they've just released their first EP called Brother/Sister. Theo also has some sharp DJ chops (wonder if he's cool with fellow super rich kid DJ Connor Cruise?) and Sasha dabbles in television creation like daddy. She and Rashida Jones, daughter of Quincy Jones, just sold a tv show pilot called "Girls Without Boys" to ABC. But Sasha told THR that music is still her passion and she'll find a way to balance both. Ahhh, the sweet smell of Hollywood nepotism. Can't live with it. Can't live without it.
Check out Sasha & Theo--under their duo stage name of Wardell--on one of their ethereal songs called "Opossum": We're kinda feelin' it.

| Chris Brown Talks Losing His Virginity At 8, Money, Regrets & Rihanna Posted: 05 Oct 2013 09:36 AM PDT
After showing off his new, more grown look (above) at the recent IHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas last month, Chris Brown continues his full on promo for his upcoming album, X. The newest Nylon Mexico cover guy spoke to The Guardian in an in-depth, reflective interview that offers up a bit of insight into Chris' turbulent career, his biggest regrets (if any) with growing up so fast, and, of course, Rihanna. It seems we learn something new about Breezy pretty often. In his most recent interview with The Guardian, the cute "Fine China" singer revealed that he indeed grew up alarmingly fast, which possibly explains his curent career turbulence. But he may not regret it as much as you would think. Check out the eye opening highlights about manhood, women and dealing with the naysayers. On losing his virginity at 8 to a 15-year-old girl: "Yeah, really. Uh-huh." He grins and chuckles. "It's different in the country." Brown grew up with a great gang of boy cousins, and they watched so much porn that he was raring to go. "By that point, we were already kind of like hot to trot, you know what I'm saying? Like, girls, we weren't afraid to talk to them; I wasn't afraid. So, at eight, being able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at it. You can be the best at it." (Now 24, he doesn't want to say how many women he's slept with: "But you know how Prince had a lot of girls back in the day? Prince was, like, the guy. I'm just that, today. But most women won't have any complaints if they've been with me. They can't really complain. It's all good.") On if he regrets growing up too fast and in the public eye: "Honestly, where I'm from, probably not. I think me being able to travel from the small town I was from, me already having a good IQ, and you know being intelligent, and regular stuff, I just had to learn more and more of the street life, you know, how to maneuver around a room full of wolves." On dealing with naysayers: "You know, whether it be naysayers, people that won't say, 'Hey, I like that.' But as far as me being young, like, I don't regret it, I love it, being able to accomplish my dreams at an early age. That's just showing the kids that's coming up in sixth or seventh grade, I can do this. If I really stick to it, I can do it. 'Chris was my age when he did it.'" On advice he'd give his 14-year-old self: "Pay attention to details, details, details. I'm 24 now, so I'm making sure I'm on top of it, but back then I was just, like, whatever we're doing, I'm just glad to be here, you know?" On the "Rihanna incident" being a big wake up call: "I had to stop acting like a little teenager, a crazy, wild young guy." But when I ask if that's how he thinks of himself when he looks back at that time, he snaps back, "No, not at all" as if the description had been mine and not his. "Cos you can talk with all my girls that I did mess with before, and it's never been a violent history." Then he switches again: "But at the same time, I learned from it, and it was almost like… I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it." On his conviction after the "Rhianna incident": That was probably, like, one of the most troubling times in my life, because I was 18 or 19, so being able to feel the hatred from more adult people, you don't understand it at the time, because you made a mistake." But he knew one thing: "I'm going to come back, I know the music that I'm doing, how hard I work, is not just for nothing." He found himself writing seven or eight songs a night, "just out of pure… I wouldn't say heartbreak, but just pure ambition. To prove people wrong. So from there it wasn't really a problem. I just focused on what was necessary, abiding by all the stuff I had to do legally and professionally." On lashing out at the D.A. & feeling unfairly picked on: "Community service, that shit is a bitch. I'll be honest – and you can quote me on that – that is a motherfucker there. For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA. I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas." "They want me to be the example. Young black kids don't have the fairer chances. You can see Lindsay Lohan in and out of court every day, you see Charlie Sheen, whoever else, do what they want to do. There hasn't been any incident that I started since I got on probation, even with the Frank Ocean fight, the Drake situation, all those were defense modes. People think I just walk around as the aggressor, this mad black guy, this angry, young, troubled kid, but I'm not. I'm more and more laid-back. It's just that people know if they push a button, it'll make more news than their music. Attaching themselves to me, good or bad, will benefit them." On his money ambitions: "I don't want to be rich, I want to be wealthy. There's a difference, you know? I'm rich, but I'm not in the $200m mark." On his album selling ambitions: "...To sell ground-breaking numbers on an album. Just to be able to have that moment to say, I did it. So as like, I have a stamp. I would really like to mean something to the world, instead of me just being this fungus." Hang on a minute: fungus? "Yeah, like the decay of society. I don't want to be the decay of society, I'd like to be the uplifting part."
