Robin Thicke unleashed a sexy new video, "Feel Good". Watch the clip inside and see Danity Kane perform their latest single, "All In A Day's Work" live..... Monday night, Danity Kane (now a quartet) hit the stage at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles. It was the group's first concert in 6 years and they debuted a new song "All In A Day's Work”. Aubrey O’Day explained the track saying, “It’s a song about b*tches that make it look easy.” Alrighty then. Danity Kane is working on their third album (set for a 2014 release) with James Fauntleroy, Dem Jointz, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Timbaland, and Da Internz. Check the video below:
In other new music..... Robin Thicke's latest video from the Blurred Lines album is "Feel Good". Produced by Will.i.am, the showgirls-themed clip mixes Liberace flashiness with blue-eyed soul. Enjoy....

| Kelly Rowland FINALLY Confirms: "Yes, I'm ENGAGED! And He Proposed On SKYPE!" Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:10 AM PST
We already knew, but it's the first time Kelly Rowland is flat out confirming. Check out Kelly dishing on how her fiance Tim Witherspoon popped the question... Yesterday on "The Queen Latifah Show," Kelly Rowland fessed up to the something we already knew. But never heard her outright confirm. When Queen asked her did he...or didn't he...put a ring on it. Kelly responded, "Yes, he put a ring on it!" And she flashed that fat rock of hers. The "Kisses Down Low" singer dished about how her relationship with her manager turned fiance Tim saying:
Queen said it was about time she came clean because all her boys have crushes on Ms. Rowland. And she's had to fight 'em off since she's always known Kelly was taken. About how he popped the question:
Oh?! Apparently, "X Factor" judge Kelly was in Bulgaria at that time. She continued, "But it was so late, I remember we were both just kinda like, honestly, just staring at each other. And he asked me, and it was just that simple to say yes. I was like, 'I got my best friend to ride through life with.' He really is my best friend." Well isn't that sweet. Check out the video over at E!.
Congrats Kelly!
The Randomness: 1. Joe Jackson and his family are doing some type of documentary....and he's saying he wants to turn Blanket into the new King of Pop. STORY

| BABY FAB: North West Shows Off Her Brows + Rapper Jay Sean ANNOUNCES The Birth Of Daughter Ayva! Posted: 17 Dec 2013 07:09 AM PST
A new pic of North West has folks accusing Kim Kardashian of waxing the baby's eyebrows. View the pic inside and see photos of Cash Money rapper Jay Sean's newborn daughter Ayva. Kim K. recently posted a new pic of her and Kanye West's daughter, baby North West. And as usual, it's caused some controversy. Some people (her fans and others) have commented on the pic accusing the image-conscious pop star of waxing the baby's unibrow and filling in the eyebrows. Hmmm....let's take a look at a previous pic.
We have to admit, baby Nori is serving 6-month-old dark and lovely realness in the first pic (atop) while the pic above shows a newbie in training. But babies do change pretty much daily...we're sure (at least we hope) she's still au natural.
In other baby news.....
Cash Money artist Jay Sean is a new father.
Jay and his wife Thara Natalie gave birth to a little girl, baby Ayva, on December 13th. How precious! The "Luckiest Man" tweeted, "Yuuuuup! I'm a daddy!!!!! Meet our lil baby girl, Ayva. She was born on the 13th December, weighing in at 6pounds 7ounces. It was the most incredible moment of my life seeing her enter this world. Wifey @tharanatalie (who was unbelievably strong and composed thru it all btw- yogamommy!!) had a music playlist for her delivery - a mixture of diff artists and some of her fav songs - (including mine" When Ayva threw up her hand to shield her face from a photo, Jay added "Damn, My baby Ayva is pulling a Kanye already!! #dontgetmadeYeimjustjoking #mybabygotjokeslikeherdaddy" Teehee. Adorbs...

| Rihanna Is The New Face Of BALMAIN + Gets Boo'd Up With A$AP Rocky?! Posted: 17 Dec 2013 06:01 AM PST
Rihanna's landed herself a brand new campaign....as the face of the French luxury fashion house BALMAIN. Check out her first pics inside as BALMAIN's spokesmodel, plus her cozy night out with rapper A$AP Rocky....
When you're looking for that person to show off your clothes to absolute perfection, BadGal RiRi should definitely be on your short list. The hot bodied "Stay" singer was brought in by BALMAIN's brand new 27-year-old creative director, Olivier Rousteing. And the pop star is now the face of the luxury brand. She tweeted: “Guess who’s the new BALMAIN Woman???!!!!!!! #BALMAIN #MommaImadeIt #CaribbeanGalRunTing” In her brand new spring/summer 2014 campaign for the fashion house, shot in NYC by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Rihanna's rocking denim on denim which is all decked out with gold chains and buckles.
And in a second pic, she's showing off more jewelry with a pink & white coat and matching skirt. And those white lace gold cap toe & heeled booties...WORK. Olivier told VOGUE UK about choosing Rihanna for the ads that will appear in mags in January:
Rih celebrated last night in NYC by rocking a hot pink furry jacket and Miu Miu suede and ponyhair shoes to an exclusive industry party at SoHo House:
But it's who she was snuggled up with that has folks' eyebrows raised. Rapper A$AP Rocky had his arm around Rihanna for much of the night and the two "Fashion Killas" seemed pretty chummy:
Sure, the two recently shot a steamy video together and also went on the Diamonds tour together....so it could just be a "work friends" situation. Especially since A$AP has been dating model Chanel Iman for a long while now. But Rih is definitely not the chick you want your man being "steamy work friends" with....that ish could become just plain old steamy in the blink of an eye.
Time will tell...
The Randomness: 1. Since Beyonce didn't put her self-titled new album in Target at the same times as releasing it elsewhere (meaning, they're mad they weren't included on the exclusive), they said they won't be carrying the Beyonce album. Meanwhile, no one cares. STORY

Chris Brown has released a new single, "Loyal" featuring Lil Wayne and French Montana. Listen to the track inside and see a pic of Chris' artist Kevin McCall with Eva Marcille in their latest pregnancy photo. Also, get the breaking new about Chris's probation hearing.
Today in Los Angeles, the judge in the Rihanna beating case revoked Chris Brown's probation because of assault charges filed in Washington D.C. a few weeks ago. Chris, who was present at the court hearing, was not taken into custody because he's already participating in a 90-day court-ordered rehab program. He's due back in February for a hearing about the parole violation. Though he's been away at rehab, Chris Brown's musical output has not stalled. At least not totally. He recently released a new single, "Loyal" featuring rappers Lil' Wayne and French Montana. The song is expected to appear on his delayed X album due next year. Listen to "Loyal" below:
In baby news...
Kevin McCall (signed to Chris Brown Entertainment) shared a new photo with girlfriend Eva Marcille and their daughter-on-the-way (whom they'll name Marley). The couple hosted a baby shower a few weeks ago with their friends. Adorbs. BONUS: Watch Kevin's VINE about Eva and the Adrien Broner fight. Ha.

| IS SHE SERIOUS? The 'Intellect' Of Porsha Williams (Stewart) Strikes Again Posted: 16 Dec 2013 03:32 PM PST
Maybe she'll argue that her smarts were taken away with her marital last name...now that she's officially going back to "Williams". Porsha Williams (Stewart) says the dumbest ish ever on the upcoming episode of "RHOA". And if you weren't questioning her "I worked with my Civil Rights activist grandfather's non profit organization" claims before.... A clip for next Sunday's episode of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" has surfaced showing a mad confused Porsha. You know, the usual. But this time, it was over something more significant than whether she should cop some $3500 bedazzled booties on her $5000 alimony budget. As the ladies roll into Savannah for their "Girls Getaway" (why they KEEP trying to take a relaxing vacay together is beyond us), they visit a few historical spots. One of which is a church that was used as an establishment on the Underground Railroad. Apparently, the holes in the floor used as air pockets for when slaves had to hide underneath the church in order to avoid being caught on their escape route...confused the hell out your girl. She fixed her mouth to ask where the "opening" underground is because there has to be a place where the train conductor can do what he needs to do. Questions in the vain of 'Who laid the tracks' and 'Was it created wide enough for people to fit on the trains underground' continued. Her grandfather...you know, the well known civil rights activist Hosea Williams whom Porsha loves to speak so much about (in regards to how much money the Foundation works with)...was probably turning in his grave. We totally understand if a child wouldn't understand the metaphorical and historical aspect of the Underground Railroad. But the fact 31-year-old Porsha, who prides herself from being from a civil rights activist family, thought there was physical train choo-chooing away underground that connected the southern & northern states....has us completely befuddled. It's clear her air headedness and lack of intelligence really isn't just a front. Sadly. And while we think Porsha's a gorgeous gal, there's nothing cute about being grown and uninformed. Check it for yourselves: Deep sigh.

Project Child Support IS NOT backing down from claims that Andrea Kelly hired them to help collect back child support from R. Kelly. See what the organization had to say about Andrea and her shady lawyer using them as a pawn in their collection scheme inside....
A few days ago, we told you about reality tv star Andrea Kelly ("Hollywood Exes") retaining the help of Project Child Support to assist with collecting $114K in back child support from R. Kelly. After the first report, lawyers for BOTH R. Kelly and Andrea Kelly oddly and quickly demanded retractions, claiming R. Kelly's child support had been paid in full. While things worked out for Andrea, R. Kelly and the kids.....the fallout from the initial story left Project Child Support with a damaged reputation....and they aren't taking this lying down. LaChic Media (whom wrote the press release about Andrea retaining Project Child Support) recently issued 130-page document that provides proof that lawyers for Andrea Kelly DID contact Project Child Support and even offered a blistering opinion about why Andrea reached out to them. There's even a little jab about Andrea's financial situation that will make you gag. LaChic Media president Sibrena Stowe de Fernandez said,
So.....why would Andrea's lawyers lie? Kai D. Patterson, CEO of Project Child Support had this explanation,
Hmmm....that makes absolute sense to us. You'll recall that Andrea and the press release went out around the time of Black Panties' release....R. quickly paid them off so it wouldn't distract from his new single with Lady Gaga or his own recordings. Inside the 130 page documentation provided by Kai, there's an interesting nugget about Andrea and her finances. Alison Motta, Andrea's lawyer, told Kai that Andrea could not afford to pay the $400 processing fee and asked that it be added to R. Kelly's child support fees. When Kai asked why a 'reality tv star' couldn't afford to pay $400, Alison told her that her client "mismanaged her earnings from the show". Ouch! Next time you see Andrea on "Hollywood Exes" laughing it up about money, just remember that she couldn't cough up a $400 processing fee. Messy!
