K Michelle, Yandy Smith, Erica Mena, Rich Dollaz, Tahiry Jose & Joe Budden are taking over the streets of New York City once again in the trailer for season 4 of "Love & Hip Hop". Watch it inside.....

The franchise that started it all, LAHH (New York), is back for a fourth season with the returning players the same as last season, and the addition of former "LAHH: ATL" star K Michelle.  

Among the story lines, we see Tahiry and Joe going through a couple's spat even though they are not really a couple (and it appears to involve cheating) while Rich Dollaz is dealing with the news that Erica Mena has a new "girlfriend."  Olivia and Yandy Smith, seen holding her baby boy, are also featured in the clip.  

"LAHH" starts October 28 of VH1 at + 8/7C.  Feels unnecessary, but we're sure some folks will be watching...

Mariah Gives Hubby Nick Cannon A TITillating Birthday Present On Twitter + Paris Hilton's "Good Time" Video Ft. Lil Wayne

Oh, hello MiMi.  And MiMi's girls.  One of our fave divas just showed the world what she's working with, even though it was meant for the eyes of her birthday boy hubby Nick Cannon.

 

Peep the TITillating pic inside, plus Paris Hilton's new music video ft. her new boss Lil Wayne....

Mariah Carey gave her man Nick Cannon a birthday preview of what he's getting as his present tonight, apparently.  She's now free from her arm sling after her accident in heels. And she tweeted the below pic of her real girls in a black lacy bra and an open white button down.

 photo BWC2u49CMAAfFkqjpg_large_zpsa7ba489e.jpg

She said: "Happy Birthday to my Hubby @NickCannon..."my baby I'm waiting on youuuu"hahaha! KKLB! GHL!!!! Mwah !!!!! "

Not mad at it.

 

 

And in rappers-who-can't-stay-away-from-blonde-chicks-with-minimal-talent news, Paris Hilton just dropped her brand new video for her song "Good Times" featuring YMCMB's head honcho Lil Wayne.

The label's newest signee can be see doing what she does best in her real life, partying in bikinis, monokinis and diamonds at a house pool party.

And the song is exactly what you would expect: An heiress trying to cure her boredom by speaking into a mic and letting the auto tune and beat do the work. By the way, the beat was produced by her now ex-boyfriend, AfroJack.

Weezy (along with Birdman) makes a cameo at the party to rap his verse. Paris' "electro-pop" album is due out under YMCMB in 2014, in case you were wondering. We're not mad at her. Sell what you can boo.

Check out the "Good Time" video above.

Married couple Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz attended the eighth annual Children's Rights Benefit in New York City last night. Held at the Four Seasons Hotel NY, the Children's Rights is a national advocacy group that works to improve the lives of abused and neglected children.  So advocates of giving back, the Beatzs, were front and center for the great cause.

Children's Rights is a group that's very close to the heart of Swizz Beatz. Last year, he was the winner of the Children's Rights Champion Award.

LIAR LIAR? Video Proof Leaks Of Braylon Edwards Attacking Photog Outside Nightclub....

Posted: 08 Oct 2013 06:06 AM PDT

 photo braylon-edwards_zpsc576f679.jpg

Sigh Braylon Edwards.  When will these ballers (or former ballers in Braylon's case) that almost anything is videotaped these days when it comes to a public figure acting out....in public?

 

After Braylon tweeted a life of denials over the weekend that he committed NO wrong doing in the case of attacking a photographer outside a nightclub in Detroit, video proof has surfaced...

What's done in the dark...always comes to the light (of video). 

Over the weekend, a photographer filed a police reportaccusing former Jets baller Braylon Edwards of grabbing him by his ankles and flipping him over on the concrete outside a Detroit nightclub.

Braylon said people were just trying to stick him for his paper and his celebrity because he never committed any wrong doing.  And he claimed the photog was never harmed.

Really Bray?  Because newly leaked video footage shows you did exactly what the photog claims you did. 

The video shows a photographer and Braylon exchanging words (likely over the photog not deleting video that he took of Braylon shoving someone else) and then the photog walking away.  We see Braylon attacking the photog whose back is turned by yanking the photog's ankles and flipping him face forward on the concrete.

Check it below:

 

Maybe he was too drunk to remember what he actually did (no confirmation he was drinking that night but we're just saying it's a MAJOR possibility if you're partying all night and can't remember something that clearly happened). 

A couple of days ago, Braylon denied ever hurting the photog saying anyone who believed the story "might need help."  He also tweeted:

The reports are blasphemy. Was joking with friends and a guy was filming us. I asked him to delete it, he said no. He wasn't harmed at all.

Also there were many officers in attendance at the alleged incident, and never stepped in, because there was no wrong doing.

This is another case of some1 trying to "come up" off a persons status. My name will be cleared of this nonsense soon. Story is ridiculous.

Alrighty then...

Lauryn Hill To DELAY House Arrest And START Concert Tour + Queen Latifah Headed Toward Daytime TV Crown?!

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 03:17 PM PDT

 photo LaurynHillRockRollHallFameHonorsArethaIhorz1jxP7sl.jpg

Lauryn Hill is planning to hit the road before she starts her house arrest.  Get the deets on the upcoming tour and find out about Queen Latifah's ratings victory inside.

 

Now that Lauryn Hill has been released from prison, she's ready to hit the road....on tour.  Chick's still got some back taxes to pay.

Though the "Consumerism" singer has 3-months of home confinement to complete, a judge has given her the "okay" to go on tour from Nov. 15th through Dec. 31st.  So far, Lauryn's team has not revealed concert dates and venues. We'll keep you posted....

We just hope Lauryn and her accountants remember to set some money aside for taxes this time!

 

And in tv ratings.....

 photo queen-latifah-show-940x400.jpg

Queen Latifah may be on the way to becoming daytime TV's reigning queen (watch out Ellen!).  Since its debut a few weeks ago, Queen Latifah has been averaging 1.8 million viewers an episode since premiere week, according to Nielsen ratings data. That clearly makes her the "Queen" of the pack (in terms of new talk shows) as she's trumped "Bethenny", who's also doing well, in the ratings.

Though the "QL" show does not get better ratings than "Katie" with Katie Couric or "The Steve Harvey Show," it's still considered a hit because its ratings are better than the show that it replaced and Latifah was voted one of tv's most admired celebrities in daytime.  

Outside of her ratings success, a source close to Latifah revealed to ShowbizSpy that her mom is battling cancer:

“Latifah says her mother is amazing. She goes through her chemotherapy treatments without complaining, has such a positive outlook on life and always wants to make sure everyone else is OK.  Latifah promised Rita that she’ll be strong. And she’s making sure every day she has with her mother is special.”

Congrats to Latifah on her ratings success and we wish her mother well!

Halle & Olivier's Baby's Name ALLEGEDLY Revealed.....

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 02:32 PM PDT

 photo HalleBerryPregnantHalleBerryFamilyAttend-EwK2Rimm1Cl_zps863227a4.jpg

Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez have named their baby, this according to reports.  Find out their baby boy's name inside....

For their first child together, 47-year-old newlyweds Halle & Olivier went totally family-style traditional with the name of their baby boy who was born on Saturday.

According to TMZ, the bouncing boy's name is Maceo Robert Martinez.

Since Olivier's father is Spanish, the couple gave their baby the Maceo first name as it popular in Spanish culture over 1000 years ago, and it means "Gift of God".  Robert is the name of Olivier's father.

So the couple seems to be saluting Halle's hubby & his fam in the sweetest way possible.

We've yet to see the 2-day-old Maceo, but we're sure he's just as gorgeous as his parents...

MUSIC FAB: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri Make Their MERGER Official + R. Kelly's "Cookie" SINGLE

Posted: 07 Oct 2013 11:25 AM PDT

 photo IFWT_Manager-1.jpg

Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri have made their music partnership official.  Find out how they've joined forces inside and listen to R. Kelly's "Cookie" single.

 photo mariashcareysfssfs.png

Mariah Carey and Jermaine Dupri have joined forces for a new "musical merger". With hits like "We Belong Together" and "Sweetheart" having already broken all kinds of records in the past, the duo announced their new pairing in a press release from Mariah's pr rep, Cindi Berger who said, "I've never seen Mariah so passionate about what she will be revealing to her fans very, very soon."

Though the statement did not say "specifically" what Mariah and Jermaine are working on, it did go one to highlight the two artists making "glowing" statements about one another.  Jermaine said,

 "A multi-talented artist of Mariah's caliber should be doing everything imaginable. I'm sure others have said this but not the way I intend to do it. For me, it's about the execution. Mariah added, We have a bond that surpasses music. I am super excited about our merger because we have so many innovative ideas that I know will come to fruition."

While many internet reports say that Mariah replaced her manager, "American Idol" personality Randy Jackson with Jermaine, her PR firm did not confirm the exact nature of the merger between Mimi and Jermaine.

Mariah is currently in the studio with JD, Mike Will Made It and others for her next disc, The Art of Letting Go.

This should be good....

In other new music.....

 photo rkellyll.png

R. Kelly’s is prepping for his next album Black Panties (dropping November 11) and he's released "Cookie" as the next single.  Appropriate name based on the album title.

We're wondering if he'll get an endorsement deal since he send several shoutouts to Oreos. “I love to lick the middle like an Oreo/ Turn up/ I want to bite it and get inside it till I get you gone.”

Actually, nevermind.

Listen to "Cookie" here:
