Kanye West has decided to put aside his bruised ego and appear on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show tonight. Find out more about his appearance inside and get the deets on Toni Braxon's upcoming memoir.
Following an obnoxious foul-mouthed rant about Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy popping back effortlessly, Kanye West had decided to put aside his differences with the host and will appear on tonight's show. Of course. Jimmy tweeted the news saying:
We hope the appearance includes a long two-segment interview. It will be interesting to see which aspect of Kanye's personality (and voice) shows up on the couch. Jimmy Kimmel airs tonight on ABC at 10:30pmCT.
And on bookshelves.....
Toni Braxton wrote a new memoir titled Unbreak My Heart: A Memoir. Published by HarperCollins, the memoir is set to hit bookshelves on February 11, 2013. It's already up on Amazon but Toni hasn't spoken much about it. In addition to the new book, Toni will be pretty busy in 2014 with an appearance on Broadway in the Warren Carlyle-directed and choreographed show After Midnight. She'll do a 2-week guest spot alongside Babyface beginning March 18th. And speaking of the dynamic sing duo, Toni and Babyface appeared on "The Tonight Show" last night for their first live performance of "Hurt You", off of their new duet album Love, Marriage & Divorce (in store Dec. 3). Watch their rehearsal clip below....

| Lauryn Hill's Post-Jail Open Letter To Her Fans... Posted: 09 Oct 2013 06:19 AM PDT
Now that Lauryn Hill is a free woman, she's thanking her fans in an open letter for supporting her during her bid in prison. Check out what the "Consumerism" rapper had to say.... Via her Tumblr page, where she's been communicating with her fans, Lauryn Hill expressed her gratitude to those who have supported her during her 3 month prison stint. She stated that man made concerns (i.e. taxes) do not always match up with Universal concerns (i.e. living off the spirit of God and going "underground" to get away from the world). And the singer recognized those who mailed her their love & well wishes. Check it out below:
Lauryn also posted the names of tons of people who sent her mail. Nice to see L Boogie moving on with her life and career. She's just been approved to go on tour this fall/winter and can delay her house arrest mandate.

| The REAL Bow Wow Responds To Crazy "Catfish" Episode... Posted: 08 Oct 2013 09:49 PM PDT
Tuesday night's episode of "Catfish" was MUCH foolywangery. After one young lady was "Catfish'd" by someone claiming to be Bow Wow, Bow himself has now responded.
Check out the foolery inside.... The level of foolery that went down on the Tuesday night's episode of "Catfish" was at an all time high. We're honestly too drained to even give you the blow by blow. But we'll provide a couple memes and quotes so you get the gist until you can watch that mug for yourself. So.... Down in North Carolina, Keyaunna (yep) has been carrying on an internet relationship with Shad "Bow Wow" Moss. Since Keyaunna is Bow's biggest fan, she left her phone number on his fan page and was extra geeked when "Bow Wow" called her up. She and "Bow Wow" had been communicating with romantic messages and more for months. What's the "more" you ask? Well, "Bow Wow" even sent a $10,000 MONEY ORDER (so we're not doing Chase Quick Pay or Paypal in 2013 we guess) to Keyaunna to gift her with some riches. Keyaunna became skeptical when "Bow Wow" was never available to Skype or meet up because he was so "busy". After a text exchange with Nev telling whoever was on the other line that they don't believe he is Bow Wow, the response: "You're right. This isn't Bow Wow. This is Shad Moss. I'm taping "106 and Park" so I'll call u back." Chile. Yes, THAT is why she became skeptical. P.S. Keyaunna is somebody's mama and has a daughter. Fast forward to Nev and co. tracking down the phone number that has been calling Keyaunna. After some roundabout calls--involving a chick from MTV--we learn that it's not Bow Wow's number and the assistant's name "Bow Wow" gave isn't correct. And they also find out the phone number belongs to someone in Atlanta. Fast forward again to what goes down after Nev, Keyaunna and Max road trip to the ATL. Foolywangery ensues.
"Dee Pimpin"--a CHICK who claims to be a musician--is the real person impersonating Bow Wow. We're still unclear how she got that $10K (outside of assuming she commits some type of fraudulent schemes for a living) since NONE of her music is online and she pretty much doesn't exist by name. She said, "I don't post my music online because people will steal it." Oh really?
So, as or Bow Wow's response to all this.... he says NOBODY can impersonate him. And he invited both Keyaunna and "Dee Pimpin" on to "106 & Park" to meet up. Lawd. Peep the video below.

| ON THE SET: Don Cheadle RETURNS For "House Of Lies" Season 3 Filming, T.I. Added To Cast Posted: 08 Oct 2013 04:25 PM PDT
Don Cheadle was spotted on the set of season 3 of his hit Showtime series "House Of Lies" yesterday. See the pics inside and check out the high profile rapper who's been added to the cast....
Emmy-nominated, Golden Globe winning actor Don Cheadle was spotted on the set of his Showtimes series "House of Lies" yesterday. On the (freakin' amazing) show, he plays the cutthroat management consultant Marty Kaan. By the way, the show is based on the book, House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time by Martin Kihn. Don and his co-star Kristen Bell (not pictured) were spotted filming their scenes in Santa Monica, CA.
And now, rapper T.I. has been announced as a new addition to "HOL". This should be interesting. T.I. (who formerly starred on Starz's "Boss") will appear in a multiple-episode arc as Lukas, a clothing company co-owner with childhood friend “Dre” (guest star Mekhi Phifer), who enlists Marty (Don Cheadle) to help expand their empire. No word on if Nia Long & Larenz Tate will also be returning to their recurring roles for season 3. Here's to hoping!
Watch the season 3 promo here:
"House Of Lies" returns to Showtime Sun, Jan 12 at 10 PM ET/PT.

| YES PLEASE: Usher Flexes Those Abs For MEN'S HEALTH Cover & Spread Posted: 08 Oct 2013 03:22 PM PDT
Usher Raymond has been putting in work at the gym. He's the new cover guy for Men's Health magazine. Check out what he's working with inside.... Usher and all his muscles are rocking the pages of the new issue of Men's Health. He's showing off his training methods. And how they do a body good.
As he shaped up for his upcoming movie role of Sugar Ray Leonard in Hands of Stone, Usher did a fitness shoot at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn this summer. And since he wanted to get down to Sugar Ray's weight of 146, he said about training:
Oh, we believe it. He started at 180 and said he started cycling:
He also revealed:
The 25th Anniversary issue is on sale now. Yes please!

| DO WE LOVE IT?! TLC'S New "Meant To Be" Track Posted: 08 Oct 2013 01:03 PM PDT
Just in time for the upcoming TLC biopic to premiere on VH1, the group has released a new track off their upcoming Greatest Hits album. Check out "Meant To Be' inside and decide if we love it... With their Greatest Hits album, called 20, coming out October 15th, the ladies of TLC have released the one new song off the album. It's called "Meant To Be" and was written by Ne-Yo.

The album will coincide with the October 21st premiere of VH1's "Crazy Sexy Cool: A TLC Story". And we hear Chilli & T-Boz are working on a full length album with brand new music. But for now, check out "Meant To Be" below:

| SPOTTED: Lamar Odom Seen LEAVING A Liquor Store With His DAD Joe Odom!!! Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:47 AM PDT
Former NBA baller and reality star Lamar Odom was spotted in Venice Beach with his father Joe, recently. Find out where they went inside and get the latest on Lamar's struggle...
Troubled former NBA star Lamar Odom, whom the tabloids claim has a serious crack cocaine addiction, was spotted in Venice Beach with his father Joe Odom last Friday. The two were spotted leaving a Venice Beach liquor store after grabbing hamburgers at Hinano's. Now we know what you're thinking, and we agree, a trip to the liquor store might not have been the "best" thing for Lamar OR his father. Both men reportedly have used substances to escape their real issues. But the sighting of the father/son together does make us question gossip reports that have had the pair at war with each other. You'll recall that Lamar ALLEGEDLY blamed his father for his addiction, and Joe had a few nasty words for the Kardashian family and how they've treated his son. Then Lamar ALLEGEDLY went off on his father via Twitter (many believe Lamar never wrote that message and it was the work of the Kardashian/Jenner clan). And he supposedly cut his father off financially, according to online reports from the main site who conveniently has every single update from right inside the K/J household. Also, it's worth mentioning that we haven't seen Lamar and Khloe together (as Khloe has spent some nights partying with The Game and shopping with her sisters). Either way, it looks like Lamar is still battling his demons and he is not ready to talk. Photos via courtesy of TerezOwens.com/ PacificCoastNews.com

Despite his wife filing for divorce last week, rapper Big Boi is carrying on with life looking happy as usual. And even hit the Falcons game last night with his two sons Bamboo and Cross. Check out the daddy-son pics inside, plus Usher catching the game with his own kiddie as well.
And news about alleged non-child support paying Jermaine Jackson inside... Big Boi and wife Sherlita may be parting ways after over 10 years together, but the ATL rapper is anything but down these days. He hit up the Monday Night Football game at the Georgia Dome last night with he and Sherlita's son, Cross, and his son, Bamboo, from a previous relationship.
His big boys seemed to be trying to not crack a smile. And the fellas even ran into fellow ATLien Usher on the field after the game:
Fun times. Big Boi, who just wrapped his Shoes For Running tour on October 3rd, has remained mum about the divorce papers getting filed.
And in not so cool daddy news, Jermaine Jackson has just had his wages garnished due to failure to pay child support! Jermaine (pictured above out with current wife Hilima) has been having longtime problems paying his child support to his ex-wife Alejandra Jackson. Alejandra, who also has two kids with Jermaine's brother Randy, has three sons with Jermaine. And she's pissed he's behind on his child support payments one again. So on the same day Jermaine idiotically purchased a 2009 Ferrari California for $160,000 ($70K of which was in cash and he traded in his Rolls Royce to cover the rest) TMZ reports the system started garnishing his wages. He's getting $3750 taken out of his bank account every month. $3000 for the child support and $750 for late penalties. Damn shame...
Sexy. The Randomness: 1. The man who recently set himself on fire on the D.C. mall and later died was discovered to have traveled from New Jersey to commit the act. STORY
