She kept it stylish in grey skinny jeans, a matching leather biker jacket and thigh high black boots.  Hopefully she avoids all stairs and potential trip-ups this time around!

In addition to performing "Foolish" and "Happy", Ashanti played music from her Braveheart disc (in stores now) and explained why she chose to release the album independently. 

The Apple Store event followed a revealing interview Ashanti taped with The Breakfast CLub, earlier in the day, where she opened up about her relationship with Nelly. 

We want 'Shanti to win!

The bad girl strutted to the front row in black thigh-high boots and a leather coat with fur trim. And ended up snapping a pic with Oscar-winner Jared Leto.

While Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world, all eyes were surely on Lupita Nyong'o, who sat next to her in the front row.  Hmmm...and Jared was there too?  We're sure this will set Twitter all a-buzz as there seems to be a campaign to get Jared-Lupita "relationship" going...

 photo frontlup4.jpg   

Lupita has clearly emerged as a muse to Miuccia Prada who dressed her in a custom Prada gown at the Oscars and chose her as the face of the Miu Miu's Spring 2014 campaign.

Lupita is also winning over fans and fashion insiders with her style and grace....

Gary Michael Houston Speaks On Newest Wild Family Fight With Bobbi Kris & Husband Nick Gordon

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 07:23 AM PST

 photo BhDwfDcCQAAvBPm_zpsc1116846.jpg

So apparently, a fight went down at a hotel in Atlanta during Rayah (Pat's daughter) 16th birthday party.  And it involved 27-year-old Gary Michael Houston allegedly beating down Bobbi Kris' husband Nick Gordon.

 

After the alleged physical and twitter fight, Gary's speaking out....

What in the WORLD is going on now with those Houstons?  All is not well, because Nick Gordon and Whitney's rapper nephew Gary Michael Houston (this is Whitney's brother Michael's son--pictured below) just had a knock down, drag out fight at a birthday party!  And Nick didn't even get one lick in.

 photo AoJZbbyHcCFTgny2mphadO-9JBR4IT7QhISXdM6Su3IKFhO0IeOwcUgW5w9tzdUgbVPSfgWV7THX4lxCEKQLa0_zps4a0422d6.jpeg

But get this...we're told this fight happened way back in DECEMBER, and Nick felt the need to bring up the drama...publicly...on Twitter YESTERDAY.

TMZ reports:

We're told Whitney's nephew, Gary Michael Houston, went nuclear on Bobbi Kristina's husband, Nick Gordon … allegedly SLAMMING him to the floor and pummeling his face -- accusing him of talking crap about the family.

Family sources tell us ... it all went down at a Sweet 16 party for Whitney's niece, Rayah. We're told it was a formal affair -- everyone in tuxes and long gowns -- but Nick showed up in a hoodie and knit cap and "lookin' like a thug."

Gary felt Gordon had insulted the family one too many times ... as soon as the party was over, he delivered the beat down. We're told it was a lopsided fight -- Nick didn't even get in a single punch.
 

Goodness!  And over on Twitter yesterday, Nick and Gary were going at it and airing out all the dirty deeds:

 photo ScreenShot2014-03-05at92831AM_zps0a5e5e49.png

Gary responded (read from bottom up):

 photo ScreenShot2014-03-05at92728AM_zps8c03096b.png 

And Gary went in:

 photo ScreenShot2014-03-05at92923AM_zps535b42ab.png

Well, at least this will get people paying attention to Gary's upcoming album The Collins LP dropping March 18th. (By the way, he shot his recent three videos at Whitney's old estate in Jersey).

Now that all this ish has played out publicly, Gary Michael Houston has spoken out via his publicist BJ Coleman.  He says in a statement to TheYBF.com:

"I apologize to any family, friends, or fans who think I over reacted recently on Twitter. I typically do not engage in trivial drama on social media. I do not intend to further address family matters publicly. I love my cousin, and I wish her all the best."

Meanwhile, Bobbi Kris, is unfazed and hasn't even mentioned this.  But a couple weeks ago, she did post this:

Wait, is that Whitney's fur?!

DADDY DEAREST: Mathew Knowles' Child Support Payments SLASHED DRAMATICALLY, And He Allegedly Continues To DENY Son's EXISTENCE!

Posted: 05 Mar 2014 06:34 AM PST

 photo mathfdd.png

Mathew Knowles has succeeded in having his child support payments slashed, but folks from his baby's mother Alexsandra's side want more than money...they want his presence in the child's life.  And they say Baby Nixon is siffering.  More inside...

Mathew Knowles scored a small victory in his financial battle (if you want to call it that) with estranged baby's mother Alexsandra Wright, who's raising their 3-year-old son Nixon. You'll recall that Alexsandra was demanding $12K a month, but a judge recently sided with Mathew (who claimed his yearly earnings dropped from $3 mill a year after Beyonce fired him in 2011) and reduced his payments to $2,485 a month. 

In documents he submitted to the judge, Mathew said he made $127K in 2013, but his monthly expenses are around $51,000 a month! Lately, he's been liquidating his assets to stay afloat.

Beyond the money issue, friends and family of Alexsandra spoke to Radar Online about Mathew's absence from in Nixon's life and the damage they fear it is doing to him.

Alexsandra's brother, Jonathan Wright said,

“I find it kind of odd that somebody that’s proven as somebody’s biological father has never ever seen their son. And when they’re a wealthy individual, it’s odd that they would be a deadbeat dad. I just don’t understand it. I have a son. I love my son and I would go to the ends of the earth for him. I don’t understand.”

You'll also recall that Alexsandra did a television interview with "Inside Edition" where she revealed that Mathew has NEVER met his son. Following that interview, one insider with ties to Alexsandra,  told Radar Online,

“Friends and family are growing increasingly worried about the damage being done to Nixon by his biological father denying his existence and allowing the public to bash his mother.Alexsandra just wants the truth to come out...and the only way that this will happen is if Mathew Knowles is held accountable for his actions and his child like every other citizen in this country!”

Messy messy messy.  We truly hope Mathew will step up to the plate and be the same presence in Nixon's life that he was for Solange and Beyonce.  Or, something....

Newcomer August Alsina Says He Can’t Deal With Trey Songz’s EGO & ATTITUDE + Nas' Child's Mother Carmen Bryan DELETES Her Twitter

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 01:08 PM PST

 photo TreySongz-AugustAlsina.jpg

New R&B artist August Alsina has had enough of Trey Songz’s ego plus Nas’ baby mama Carmen Bryan deletes her Twitter when you go inside…

 

New Orleans singer August Alsina is speaking out saying he and Trey Songz no longer “f*cks” with each other due to Trigga’s big ego and major attitude.

August Alsina and Trey Songz collaborated on the remix to Alsina’s “I Luv This Sh*t”, but it seems the R&B 'bad boys' can’t get along.

August recently did an interview with Rap-Up and had this to say about Trigga:

“I don’t really f*ck with Trey right now. We don’t get along right now. We ain’t on the same page. He did some other sh*t and we just don’t rock.”

Now…there are unconfirmed rumors going around that Trey got upset when he found out he was hitting the stage BEFORE August at a show. August said in the same interview that he didn’t hit the stage with Trey because he wasn’t going to do a show with someone he had a problem with.

 

“We were supposed to have a show together and it just went left ’cause I can’t deal with ni**as’ egos and attitudes ’cause I’m just a real ni**a comin’ through and I’m rockin’.”

He continued, “Once ni**as go to talkin’ a certain type of way, that shit ain’t gon’ fly with me and that’s all that was and I just had to not do the show ’cause I can’t stand on side of a ni**a if I really got something that I feel in my heart. It just ain’t gon’ work, so I just had to dip and we didn’t do it, but it is what it is.”

So it sounds like the rumor of Trey’s big ego could be true.

Let’s not forget where we came from Trigga.

In other news…

 photo Nas-NasBM.jpg

Nas’ child's mother Carmen Bryan has DELETED her Twitter page.  And according to reports, she called Nas "bipolar" before doing so.

News of her deleting her Twitter account comes days after she filed legal documents claiming Nas owes her more than $11K in back child support. She also claims that he refuses to pay their daughter Destiny's college tuition and medical bills.

She branded Nas as a "repeat criminal non supporter" and asked the judge to cite him for contempt, which could possibly land him in jail.

Carmen has been known to blast Nas on Twitter so it’s a little surprising she deleted her account, although she’s still holding on to her Instagram account.

Wonder if Nas’ legal team had something to do with it....

MAGAZINES: Kelis CONSIDERS Retirement, REFLECTS On Divorce In "The Guardian" + Iconic Model Pat Cleveland Shows Out In Tom Ford In "Numero" + Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" Video

Posted: 04 Mar 2014 12:30 PM PST

 photo kelis-covers-the-guardian-guide-2014-the-jasmine-brand.jpg

Kelis covers The Guardian and opens up about on her new album, FOOD, divorce and possibly leaving the music industry.  Read the highlights inside and see 62-year-old supermodel Pat Cleveland posing for Tom Ford in Andre Leon Talley's Numero.  Also, Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" video.

 

In the four years since she released the Fleshtone album, Kelis has made "peace" with ex-husband Nas, launched a cooking show "Saucy & Sweet" and recorded a new album, aptly entitled FOOD (due April 22th).

In the latest edition of The Guardian, she reflects on where her music has been and where it's headed (possibly retirement), being "labeled" an R&B girl and moving on after divorce.  Here are the highlights:

On Nas and discussing their divorce:  "I’ve been divorced for almost five years; it’s over, I’m over it. But what I would say is that last year I was made more aware of it because my ex-husband decided to talk about stuff that I hadn’t shared with the world. He slipped my wedding dress on to his album cover [2012's Life Is Good], so now I have to talk about it! I had no idea it was happening, I was like, ‘What the…?’ But it didn’t affect my life. I’m not living that life now. I’m super-content and at peace."

On recording music:  "I might make another album. I might make 10 more albums. I might never make another album again. It depends on how the mood suits me. I’m not declaring retirement but I’m just saying that I don’t have any musical ambitions any more."

On R&B: "I was never an R&B artist. People coined me one but that’s because, especially if you’re in the States, if you’re black and you sing, then you’re R&B."

In the March issue of Numero Russia, Editor-At-Large Andre Leon Talley styled iconic model Pat Cleveland, who's credited with revolutionizing the world of black models, in famed designer Tom Ford for a scandalous pictorial in the March 2104 issue.  

 photo numero03.jpg

The 14-page spread pairs Pat (who's in her 60s!) with South African model Conrad Bromfield as she models deisgns from Tom's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Via The Huffington Post, Andre spoke about the shoot saying, “There are two people of color on the cover looking provocative and elegant. And Pat must be 60 now, proving that fashion is not about age. It crashes through the boundaries of ageism.”

 photo numero02.jpg

Tom added, "I am happy to say that I am color blind, and I simply cast the two people that I most wanted to work with and who I find beautiful. Pat Cleveland is iconic, yet she is still completely current as a model. Her age is irrelevant because her aura and what she is able to bring to a shoot and project to the camera is ageless and timeless."

Iggy Azalea channels the iconic "Clueless" film in her video for "Fancy" featuring Charli XCX. 

Iggy is also a 2014 “Best Video Woodie” nominee and she'll perform her hit “Fancy” along with special guest Charli XCX, at the “2014 mtvU Woodie Awards” on Thursday, March 13.
