Michelle Williams is putting on her church hat once again to star as Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar. And she hit up "Good Morning America" today to talk all about it. Deets inside, plus Don Cheadle tells Chelsea Handler about getting high on the set of "House of Lies" and T.I. tells Arsenio why he's mad the government took his guns away.... Former Destiny's Child chick Michelle Williams is still singin'. And now, she's taking her fab church girl self on the road for a 50-city tour with the rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar. And she's playing prostitute Mary Magdalene. Michelle appeared on "Good Morning America" today with co-star Brandon Boyd to announce the tour and to belt out one of their songs. As for Jesus Christ Superstar, the musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice about the last days of Jesus, the tour kicks off June 9th in New Orleans. Fun YBF fact: The original production earned five Tony Award nominations, including one for Ben Vereen, who played Judas. Check out Michelle on "GMA" this morning below: Oh, and Michelle saw y'alls #PoorMichelle hashtag yesterday. *Snickers* It was filled with pics and tweets of how Michelle is treated like Destiny's stepchild. Her response, though:
Bloop. As we gear up for this Sunday's season finale of "House of Lies" (this season was amazeballs by the way), star Don Cheadle is making his promo rounds. And he stopped by "Chelsea Lately" last night to dish about giving his co-star Kristen Bell a contact high....while she was pregnant! Apparently, while the cast was doing a scene that involved getting someone high to steal business from them, they had fake blunts rolled....but someone in the cast decided to have a REAL one. That unnamed person said he wanted to see if he could get it introduced into the scene for real, and Kristen said she was OK with it....because she didn't think it was really real. Needless to say, she was messed up. Check out the clip above. Don's long time girlfriend Brigid Coulter (whom he shares two kids with) is also co-starring on the show this season as Mekhi Phifer's character's wife.
Also on late night:
T.I., who's also starring on"House of Lies" this season, joined Arsenio Hall on the couch last night to talk about, of all things, parenting. His girls, Zonnique and Deyjah, are growing up and starting to date, which is hard for most fathers. But T.I. tells Arsenio it’s even harder when the government has taken away all your guns. Ha! Check out a few clips below:
T.I. On His Daughters Dating: 'The Government Got All My Guns Now'
T.I. Gives Parenting Advice To The Audience On Discipline, 'The Talk' & Social Media
T.I. Talks 'The Cosby Show,' DeSean Jackson & Blasting Out Co-Star Don Cheadles' Phone Number

Lil Scrappy is claiming an Atlanta spa discriminated against him and his family for being black after they cancelled his daughter’s party. The salon has now fired back saying they aren’t racist, and Scrappy was just LATE. Read the deets when you go inside… “LAHH ATL” star Lil Scrappy was ready to put “them paws” on someone after his daughter was left in tears when an Atlanta salon refused to serve his family. Why? Well…according to Scrappy, it was because they’re black! It was reported Scrappy put down a down payment to have his little girl, Emani’s 9th birthday party at Glamour Girls Day Spa. Scrappy and Emani’s mother, “LAHH ATL” star Erica Dixon, showed up and when they got there, the salon refused to let them in. They claim they were only 20 minutes late, but the salon said otherwise.
Scrappy got upset when they wouldn’t let them in after he had already made a down payment and the salon owner allegedly told Scrappy they didn’t want to serve “you people.” That set Scrappy off and the cops ended up being called because obviously, dude wanted his money back. He got half of his money back and the salon agreed to mail the rest. Now, the salon is speaking out. Glamor Girls Day Spa’s owner Angela Shannon told TMZ she didn’t let them in because they were extremely late and she had other customers waiting. She insisted it had nothing to do with them being black and confirmed she paid Scrappy a full refund of $275.42...with receipts to prove it. Can’t get mad if you operate on CP time. Allegedly.
The Randomness: 1. Angela Bassett will continue to star on "American Horror Story" for the FREAK SHOW installment. STORY 2. Nick Cannon's "I'm Racist" stand up comedy routine. STORY

Welcome to the world cutie! "Hostages" & "What My Husband Doesn't Know" actor Brian White and his wife Paula Da Silva just welcomed their brand new baby girl to the world. See little Layla Simone inside...
It's a girl for actor Brian White and his wife of 4 years Paula.

And his new focus is this little adorable bundle of joy:
Baby Layla Simone was born at 11:01AM on Thursday morning. And the tiny bundle weighed in at 5 pounds, 8 ounces and 12 inches. Brian was immediately on doting daddy duty snapping pics galore and cuddling up to his new precious cargo:
And just days before birthing that baby, Paula snapped a pic showing off her ready-to-pop bump. Next up for Brian is a new movie called My Favorite Five starring Rochelle Aytes, Jay Ellis, DeRay Davis and more. Congrats to the couple!

| BADDIE ALERT: Janelle Monae...Is That You Girl?! Posted: 03 Apr 2014 01:49 PM PDT
Soulstress Janelle Monae let her hair down, kinda, and showed off a sexy side like we've never seen! See Janelle letting her "ladies" out to play inside.... We came across an uber-sexy undated photo of Janelle Monae with the Wondaland Arts Society. The group, which she co-founded, consists of a collective of artists musicians, singers, rappers, painters (including Roman GianArthur). When she's with the WAS, it looks like she shows off a different side of herself. Wearing a short white dress with a plunging neckline, Jimmy Choo shoes and her hair pulled back, Janelle showed off her sexy side. We likey! A few months ago, she told ESSENCE Magazine that she intentionally hides her sexy body so fans will focus on her music and NOT her assets. In other news, she recently dropped a cover of of David Bowie's "Heroes" saying, "Bowie is part of my musical DNA in so many ways. And 'Heroes’ is one of my favorite Bowie songs. When you love your favorite song, you want to keep some of the beautiful qualities of the original, but we brought Atlanta in the drums and wanted them to be thick and hit hard. It’s like us reimagining it. I thought, ‘If this song was in my dream, how would it get from our dream to my reality?’" Also, she and M.I.A. are set to celebrate the launch of the Audi A3 tonight...via hologram. According to Pitchfork, they'll also perform two brand-new duets. The sie reports, it's "the first hologram performance with integrated video mapping....and...utilizes 3D projection mapping to add layered depth of field perception with animated graphic content, the result of which will be an electric never-before-seen 3D bi-coastal performance." Listen to "Heroes": |

On the heels of releasing “Draft Day,” Drake possibly raps about Rihanna and raps about sipping tea with Erykah Badu. Take a listen to Drake’s recently released “Days In The East,” plus, take a listen to Marsha Ambrosius’ “Run” inside… As Drake is known for rapping his emotions, his new track, co-produced by PARTYNEXTDOOR and “40”, called “Day In The East” doesn’t disappoint. Following the release of “Draft Day,” Drizzy released “Days In The East,” which some have already heard being he performed it last month on a tour stop in Birmingham, England (RiRi missed this one, she hit up the Manchester show). It could possibly be a track that was scrapped off Nothing Was The Same. About 3-minutes into the song, you can hear Rihanna vocals in the background singing, “I threw my hands in the air and said show me something” from her track “Stay.” Hmm… Rihanna and Drake spent some time in Amsterdam and they were spotted grabbing sushi. He makes a reference to their time together rapping, “Wakin’ up in Amsterdam with the boy/You would probably kill another man for the boy” And he also spits, “Ain't the first time cause I've lost you before/Had to get it back.” Totally refers to his and RiRi’s on-and-off relationship. Why do you think he and Chris Brown were fighting? Dizzy also dished on an evening he spent with Erykah Badu, sipping tea, talking about the woman he loves. He rapped, “Remember one night I went to Erykah Badu house, she made tea for me/We talked about love and what life could really be for me/She said, 'when that sh*t is real, you just know'/ And I was thinking bout you, you already know.” Mmhmm…we know. Check the RiRi-laced track below: And on another track...
Singer Marsha Ambrosius dropped a new song titled “Run,” a month after the release of her Fvck & Love EP. Marsha sings about running from the pain she feels after the end of her relationship but soon realizes he’s not worth her tears and moves on. Marsha’s upcoming album Friends & Lovers is expected to drop later thie year, which this track will appear. Listen to “Run” below: We feelin' it? |
| REPORT: Mathew Knowles' Son Headed To HOMELESS Shelter....ALLEGEDLY!? Posted: 03 Apr 2014 12:04 PM PDT
There are reports that Beyoncé’s & Solange half brother and his mother, Alexsandra Wright, may be moving to an LA-area homeless shelter! More inside.....
IN TOUCH Magazine is reporting that Alexsandra Wright, the mother of Mathew Knowles' son Nixon may be moving to an LA-area homeless shelter! Now....we think this is simply a ploy to garner attention and to embarass Mathew but we digress. She told the mag,
So how did this happen? Well.....you'll recall that Mathew and Alex went to court last month and a judge retroactively reduced his payments from $12,000 to $2,400 per month because of his change in income. As a result, he won’t have to make another payment for almost two years. Now....it looks like Alex is out of luck as she's run through the money she's collected so far. She told IN TOUCH she's having severe financial hardships. SMH... you ALMOST want to feel sorry for her. ALMOST.
