Yesterday, Jada Pinkett Smith was putting in work on the set of her new television series “Gotham” before a fire broke out and she was forced to leave. Find out what happened inside…

Days after speaking her piece on her daughter’s controversial bed photo, “Gotham” actress Jada Pinkett Smith was spotted on set in NYC for the taping of the prequel story of the Batman comic for FOX's new TV show.

Things got heated after a fire broke out in a building next door and everyone was asked to leave the set.

Donning her fire red tips for her role as a sadistic gangster boss, the 42-year-old actress, along with the cast, was ushered off of the set while the production crew shut down filming. Fire crews were called to douse the flames.

No word on what caused the blaze.

Doctor Diddy arrived on Howard University's campus on Friday and documented almost every part of his trip back to what he calls "home".  Find out what the commencement speaker is up to while preparing for today's big speech inside, plus video of his commencement address.

 photo ScreenShot2014-05-10at90858AM_zps63565f0b.png

This morning when Diddy walked out of his hotel room, he was gifted with a surprise pair of custom Howard University-themed AirForce Ones.  So he gave the creative fellas who surprised him a little shoutout on his IG saying, "I walked out the hotel and #GrooveyLou @richandfaded @relevantcustoms had these AH-MAZiNG Custom #HowardUniversity Air Jordan 1's #DiddySpeechHU".

Nice! 

 photo ScreenShot2014-05-10at92535AM_zps96db3ed8.png

And the momentum is building before the speech goes down soon. Diddy posted himself pulling up to the scene with Mama Combs just minutes ago saying, "Pulling up to one of the most important moments of My Life with The LoVe of My Life #MamaCombs #DiddySpeechHU."

And it looks like he's still putting the final touches on that speech he's been stressing over.  He posted video the other day of himself pulling an all-nighter like his own college days at Howard trying to get everything perfect saying, "Up late still working on my speech for Howard's commencement tomorrow at 10am. I feel like I'm back in school up late doing homework lol!!! I can't and won't stop until it's perfect! I wish you all could be here but if you can't, watch it live tomorrow on REVOLT.TV at 11am est #DiddySpeechHU"

 

But he's got his daughters, mom and supporters by his side.  At yesterday's banquet before meeting up with fellow Doctorate recipient Wolf Blitzer (they are both copping honorary Doctorate degrees!), Diddy posted pis with his girls, sound check...and reminiscing around campus:

He said about it all, "It's an Honor to share the stage tomorrow with fellow Doctorate recipient #WolfBlitzer #DiddySpeechHU #HUclassOf2014 FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME!!!!"

Keep it locked here for Diddy's speech soon!

JAIL UPDATE: Chris Brown SENTENCED To Additional Four Months After Probation Violation, But MAY Get Out Earlier For Good Behavior

Posted: 10 May 2014 05:57 AM PDT

 photo cbjail2.jpg

Yesterday, Chris Brown admitted he violated probation after getting into an altercation with a man in Washington D.C. The judge sentenced the R&B singer to additional time in jail…but he might get out sooner rather than later. Get the deets…

Chris Brown (who has been behind bars since mid-March) went before a L.A. court judge yesterday, where he admitted violating his probation by getting arrested in Washington D.C.

You'll recall the singer's D.C. triAl was delayed after his bodyguard was found guilty and wanted to appeal his own conviction. Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, hopes that by Breezy making the admission that he will get a 'get out of jail sooner' card and can once and for all settle the case.

Breezy (pictured above in court) was sentenced by Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin to an additional 131 days in jail, although his sentence could be shortened on the account of good behavior. The judge originally sentenced the “Loyal” singer to a full year, but he was given a credit for serving 234 days (the time he spent in rehab and jail), leaving 131 days left to serve.

Breezy’s attorney told CNN he expects Chris to get out of jail by Monday saying,

"I would expect that Chris should be out of jail before the weekend's up or before Monday," Geragos said after the hearing. "If he isn't out by Monday, then I would expect he's getting special treatment. He's got over 230 days credit on a 365 (day sentence) and generally the sheriff is releasing on a lot less than that."

No sign of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Karrueche during his court hearing, but his mom and other family & friends were there for support.

Once Chris is a free man, he is expected to complete community labor at least three days a week until he reaches a total of 700 hours.

Unfortunately, Breezy had to celebrate his 25th birthday behind bars on May 5th, but Karrueche didn’t let his day go by without showing a little love. She posted the older picture above with the caption, "Happy Birthday Christopher I love and miss you.. Can't wait to give you a big kiss and hug."

Sure she's happy to hear he's coming home soon...

WHOA: Sherri Shepherd's Husband Calls Marriage A FRAUD....And He Wants Custody Of Unborn Baby (By A Surrogate)!

Posted: 09 May 2014 07:04 PM PDT

 photo SherriShepherdStarsPreBETAwardsCelebrationomP1iFWln6Jl_zpsc7d654ef.jpg

Well...this escalated quickly.  Sherri Shepherd's husband not only filed for divorce (well, legal separation to be exact) last week, with us just finding out today, but docs have revealed they also have a baby on the way!  And dude wants full custody....and is also calling the marriage a fraud!

 

Deets inside...

After three years of marriage and about four years of Sherri gushing about her husband on "The View", Lamar Sally (Sal) dropped a bomb on her. 

We already told you Sal's the one who filed the divorce papers.  Now TMZ is saying they are technically "legal separation papers", but that's only because Sal doesn't meet the proper 6-month residency requirements in Cali in order to file for divorce...but he will indeed file for divorce in three months, according to the site.

According to the court docs, Sal revealed that he and Sherri have a baby on the way....via a surrogate.  He or she is due at the end of July.  And, you guessed it, he wants FULL custody and only wants to give Sherri visiting rights. 

He's also asking for spousal support, of course.  Oh, and about that prenup they signed, he wants it tossed out!  Why?  He's claiming the prenup is invalid due to FRAUD.

Say what now?

So...there could be a few scenarios at play here.  Sal COULD be propositioning for full custody as a strategic move to make Sherri want to give him MORE spousal support in exchange.  He also could want full custody in order to get child support in addition to spousal.  Or, he could just really want to raise a baby solo dolo.  Hmph. 

And that FRAUD claim is about to be some ish.

Any way it goes, there seems to be nothing amicable about this here split.  Sherri has remained silent about it all (and so has her bestie Niecy Nash who set up the twosome).

Things are getting ugly....

Zoe Saldana REVEALS She’s In The Mile High Club & Got It In Between Train Cars + T.I. Says Jhene Aiko’s “The Worst (Remix)” Was NEVER Suppose To Get Out

Posted: 09 May 2014 05:10 PM PDT

 photo zoe.png

Zoe Saldana was very open and honest about her sexcapades which involved getting down and dirty between train cars (gasp!). Plus, T.I. revealed his remix of Jhene Aiko’s “The Worst” was never suppose to get out. Get the deets inside…

Her name is Zoe…but it's Ms. Saldana is ya nasty! The Rosemary’s Baby actress (above at the Whitney Art Party in NYC yesterday) hit up “Sway In The Morning” satellite radio show recently to promote her new NBC television series remake.  And the interview got really…in depth to say the least.

During the interview, sexy Avatar star was asked to name the craziest place she’s had sex thus far, and she left nothing to the imagination with her response.

“The craziest place…I am apart of the Mile High Club. Ok this is ghetto, but I’m from Queens so whateva. There is a train from Coney Island all the way back into the city, and it was between two train cars, it was super ghetto. “

She added,

“But I’m a lady now, I’m a lady.”

Mmhmm…

Check it:

And in another interview… 

 photo titiny2.jpg

T.I. stopped by Atlanta radio station V103 for “The Big Tigger Show” and of course he asked about Tip’s verse on the remix to Jhene Aiko’s “The Worst.”

You’ll recall, the Kang (pictured above with his wife at last night's S2S's "Ladies Night" event) got real personal on the track, detailing he and Tiny’s marital issues.

When asked if this was art imitating life he responded,

“I always speak from the heart. I was venting on momentary frustrations. “

So are they in a better place?

“We always in a better place. We among the living, among the free. I don’t got a lot to say about it. It’s so self explanatory. And it wasn’t really meant to be out there like that.”

So there you have it.

Is THIS The Dream’s NEW Chick He's Dating AFTER His Baby Mama Drama? + The Dream SPEAKS After Assault Arrest

Posted: 09 May 2014 02:42 PM PDT

 photo laylayorignal.png

Does The Dream have a new chick? It’s clear he and his baby mama Lydia Nam have called it quits. Find out who his alleged new boo is inside…

Right before producer The Dream turned himself in to police for allegedly attacking his baby mama Lydia Nam...he posted a picture (below) of whom we thought was his ex-Lydia.

 photo dreamIGirl.jpg

It's possible that they could have kissed and made up (i.e. Ray Rice & Janay Palmer) since their physical altercation, but it seems the super producer has a new lady in life.

We have learned he's possibly in a new relationship with a young lady named LaLonne Martinez (above).

LaLonne seems to be the mystery woman in the picture since she also posted the exact same pic on her IG two weeks earlier:

 photo laylay.png

And there's more...

 photo layboo.png

Lay Lay also posted the picture above of what looks like the back of Dream's head (y'all know he loves a hat) as they admired the sun setting on a boat captioning, "All I need..." Also note The Dream 'liked' and commented on her pic as well.  He also "Liked" all of her pics of the flowers her secret boo--very likely The Dream--sent her at work.

Wonder if his new chick is current on the details behind his recent arrest and his collection of ex-wives and baby mamas (Christina Milian, Nivea, etc.)...

Also…

 photo dreamcomment.png

The Dream is speaking out after turning himself in on the alleged allegations from his baby mama Lydia Nam.

He took to his Instagram and posted a picture of the definition of the word “con” with the caption,

"As my mother would say "you've taken my sweetness as a weakness" I feel sorry for whoever has to live without Love in their heart. Yet I might smile to keep from crying, that hurt isn't caused by one thing or one person it's caused by the others who choose to speak at me as if I am worthless. I gave my whole life to all of you through myself and others. I have sang you to sleep, I have sang at your weddings, I've empowered women through words and through others, on top of that my LOVE for the woman period is infinite, my only fear I carry is my Mother Reva M Nash looking down on me and being a shame of me. If I have no life outside of music it's because I've given almost everything to you, I would give any and everyone the shirt off of my back. Retain the sympathy I picked this life so I am fine with the non sympathizing , I am blessed and I have seen things others can only dream of and I know I am fortunate. My mind and heart is clear and I will not retreat and I will not Kneel to the face of Injustice .When the light shines on these days in the near future I will welcome you all back with open arms so you can understand what love is. I've already forgiven you. #FreeDream #black #under-attack #CONSIDERTHESOURCE #LOYALTY #PROONYX”

 photo Screen-Shot-2014-01-28-at-100735-PM-1017x1024_zpsd562be2b.png

Well....here's a development for you.  It's Sherri Shepherd's HUSBAND who officially filed those papers, just a day after the separation news leaked.  Deets inside...

After cheating rumors flew yesterday saying Lamar Sally allegedly cheated on "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd, it was alleged they had recently separated.

Today, a report surfaced that Sal actually filed for divorce...and back on May 2nd.

He reportedly has already moved from NYC back to L.A.  And we gotta wonder...what made him file so quickly and first?  Is alimony in play?  Well...his lawyer IS Mark Vincent Kaplan ... who famously represented Kevin Federline during his divorce from Britney Spears.

We'll be watching "The View" on Monday twiddling our thumbs to hear Sherri's side...

SPORTS FAB: NBA ASSIGNS Dick Parsons As Interim CEO Of The L.A. Clippers

Posted: 09 May 2014 01:43 PM PDT

 

 photo dickparsons.jpg

There’s a new sheriff in town….and he goes by the name of Dick Parsons. The NBA just named one of the pretty powerful black men in the business world as its new interim CEO for the Los Angeles Clippers. Find out the deets on the new man in charge inside…

After the NBA banned owner Donald Sterling for life over his racist comments and Clippers’ president Andy Roeser stepped down indefinitely, there’s a new man in charge.

Effective immediately, former Citigroup and Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons will become the interim CEO of the Los Angeles Clippers. Dick will now oversee the day-to-day operations of the Clippers.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is excited about the Clippers' new chief executive saying,

"I believe the hiring of Dick Parsons will bring extraordinary leadership and immediate stability to the Clippers organization," Silver said. "Dick's credentials as a proven chief executive speak for themselves and I am extremely grateful he accepted this responsibility."

Dick also commented on his new position, committing to bestow the values and principles of the organization saying,

"Like most Americans, I have been deeply troubled by the pain the Clippers' team, fans and partners have endured," said Parsons. "A lifelong fan of the NBA, I am firmly committed to the values and principles it is defending, and I completely support Adam's leadership in navigating the challenges facing the team and the league."

"The Clippers are a resilient organization with a brilliant coach and equally talented and dedicated athletes and staff who have demonstrated great strength of character during a time of adversity. I am honored to be asked to work with them, build on their values and accomplishments, and help them open a new, inspiring era for their team."

Nice.

Dick currently sits on the board of directors for the Commission on Presidential Debates and is also a senior advisor at Providence Equity Partners.

Based on his credentials, it seems he would be a good fit for the team. Congrats!

Tiny & T.I. REUNITE At S2S's "Ladies' Night" +Toya, Memphitz, Kandi, Rasheeda, Mike Epps & Apollo Come Out (Plus T.I. CONFRONTS Apollo About Snitching Claim!)

Posted: 09 May 2014 11:54 AM PDT

 photo pollo32_zpsa5d43698.jpg

Tiny & Toya hosted Ladies' Night in Atlanta in conjunction with Sister 2 Sister magazine.  The besties brought their husbands, T.I. and Memphitz, along.  Plus their homies Kandi Burruss, Mike Epps, Rasheeda and more.  And T.I. was caught on tape letting Apollo Nida know not to throw his name in the "snitching clause" pot.

 

It was Ladies' Night in Atlanta yesterday!  And Toya Wright and Tiny Harris brought out fans and friends to a secret spot that hosted vendors for the ladies to shop with and food from Nancy's of Buckhead. 

And look who else showed up:

 photo pollo31_zps2e90ed9c.jpg

T.I.  popped up to support his wife Tiny, despite their rocky relationship issues that have played out in social media lately.

 photo pollo3_zps16d2a95f.jpg

Toya's husband Memphitz was there looking good.

And so was Rasheeda and Mike Epps.

Look who else showed up....peddling his Phone Body workout vids:

 photo pollo35_zps7deb5ef6.jpg       photo pollo1_zps8d57d968.jpg

Yep, Apollo.  Dude has zero cares it seems that he's embroiled in a major federal case right now.

T.I.'s sister Precious was there too:

 photo pollo4_zps180c61b3.jpg  photo pollo2_zps72facd0f.jpg

....

And Dr. Heavenly of "Married To Medicine" made her way to the event and posed it up with Bob Whitfield. Yeah, THAT Bob Whitfield:

 photo pollo30_zps8f201410.jpg

By the way, T.I. wasn't feeling that ish Apollo tweeted (and then snatched down) saying that EVERYONE has "snitch" clauses in their plea agreements.  He namechecked T.I. and a few others saying they also promised to work in an undercover capacity with the Feds to help catch other criminals.   And The Kang wasn't having it. 

Their convo at the event was caught on video.  T.I.P. let him know that that language was NOT in his contract (and based on the actual paperwork, it really wasn't) and we bet Apollo never makes that mistake again.

FIT & FABULOUS: Cynthia Bailey REVEALS How She Lost 20 Pounds & Dropped Two Dress Sizes

Posted: 09 May 2014 09:48 AM PDT

 photo cynbailey.png

Trim and toned "RHOA" star Cynthia Bailey has dropped a few pounds and she's sharing her weight-loss secrets in the latest issue of "L&S" Magazine. Find out what she did inside...

Fans of "RHOA" watched catwalk-veteran Cynthia Bailey go through some fluctuations in her weight due to her battle with fibroids this season.  And while the medical issues were totally understandable and we were sympathetic, her husband peter seemed to be...focused on the wrong things.

But now, at 148 pounds, the 5-foot-10 star fabulous model has beaten the fibroids and is focusing on staying in shape and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  

In the latest issue of "Life & Style" the reality star revealed how she shed 20-pounds and dropped two dress sizes thanks to the GenoVive diet plan, a meal-delivery system that creates weight loss programs customized to an individual’s DNA. She said, "I lost more inches than actual weight. And I went from a size 10 back to a size 6!”

Cynthia said her genetic profile showed that her body responded best to a mix of macronutrients that was low in fat and higher in carbohydrates. And here's the good news...“I got to eat pasta!"

The accompanying article also breaks down Cynthia’s customized diet and exercise plan, including a breakdown of her meals and exercise routine.

Hmmmmm....it actually sounds like Cynthia's might be a spokeswoman for GenoVive. We're not mad at her....get those checks Cynthia!  It's about time she steps out and show former friend NeNe Leakes that she can make power moves too.
