Usher with his protege Justin.

Snoop showed up too...I guess everyone loves this kid.

Snoop talking to Wanya of Boyz II Men.

Boyz II Men, where yall been at?  Nice to see you guys out and about.

 

Yesterday in Atlanta, Ne-Yo hosted a "Champagne Life" party at the Moet Rose Lounge.

Looks like Ne-Yo sported a nice Burberry outfit for his party. Very chic look.

Rapper Rasheeda was there looking cute.  She could have gone without all the extra jewelry though.

Producer Devyne Stephens came out to support.

Isaiah Mustafa aka "Old Spice Guy" was there too.  I see he has been enjoying his fame.

Ludacris was looking dapper alongside manager Chaka Zulu.

Atlanta housewife Lisa Wu-Hartwell looked cute in her all white.

TV host Kenny Burns came out for Ne-Yo too.  

Morning radio host Frank Ski made an appearance.

Bobby V was there as well.  

Ne-Yo was definitely living the "Champagne Life."  Looks like quite the party.

 

 

Over in Hollywood there was the VIP press screening of High School Musical star Monique Coleman's new web talk show, "Gimme Mo."

Naturi Naughton came out to support Monique.

Here's Monique with The Blind Side's Quinton Aaron.

Jaime Foxx Lands Own Sketch Comedy Show + Diddy Responds To Age Discrimination Lawsuit

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 07:40 AM PDT

Movie superstar Jamie Foxx will be making a splashy return to TV this fall.  Find out about his new show and see what Diddy has to say about the lawsuit filed against him when you read  on... 

<!--break-->

FOX recently announced that it has picked up a new sketch comedy produced by Jamie Foxx.

The show is tentatively called “The Jamie Foxx Project” and will debut in the upcoming 2010-2011 television season.  It will be a half-hour show similar to “In Living Color” offering a fresh take on pop culture, with spoofs of commercials, TV shows, and celebrities.

Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment at FOX said, "“Jamie Foxx’s brilliance first shined on FOX, so it’s fantastic to welcome him back to the network.”

Jaime was hilarious on "In Living Color."  Will you watch the new show?

Trouble in Bad Boy land.  A 51-year-old music executive known as "the Mom" or "Auntie" at Bad Boy Records is suing Sean "P. Diddy" Combs for $12 million claiming that she was fired for being old and disabled.

Francesca Spero says in her lawsuit that she is "renowned for launching the careers of various urban music figures, including Combs" but had a falling out with him after being laid up with hip surgery in 2008.

Spero says Diddy told her she could no longer "run around" and earned too much money for "someone who could no longer keep up with his fast-paced lifestyle," according to her lawsuit.

A spokesperson for Sean Combs released a statement saying, 

"This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work.  There are many reasons why Ms. Spero is no longer employed by Bad Boy, but age discrimination is not one of them."

Seems like Diddy is prepared to take this to court if need be.  We will keep you posted as the story develops.

BUSTED AND BOOKED: T.I. And Tiny's Arrest Photos + Could They Have Been Sippin Sizzurp?

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 07:28 AM PDT

We recently reported that T.I. and Tiny were arrested on drug possession charges.  Now sources are saying there may have been evidence of Sizzurp in the car.  Here is a pic of T.I. in the back of a cop car with an unknown man.  Pics of Tiny getting arrested and suspicious styrofoam cups when you go inside...

<!--break-->

In this new photo, focus on the styrofoam cups in the front and back cupholders.  Cops aren't saying which controlled substance they found in the car, but it may have been Sizzurp ... aka purple drank ... aka codeine syrup.

-- A form of codeine falls under the class of drugs for which T.I.
and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, were arrested.

-- Codeine is the main ingredient in Sizzurp, which is a growing
problem in the South.

-- Sizzurp is typically ingested in styrofoam cups ... it's become a
"thing" in the hip-hop community.

Cops won't say specifically which drug they found, though our sources
say it's the class of drugs that does indeed include the main
ingredient for Sizzurp.

Both T.I. and "Tiny" were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance.  Here are pics of Tiny getting arrested and put into the back of the car:

She's probably looking to see what's happening to Tip...always down for her man.

Just when you thought things were going well for the couple smh.

When Tiny got home, she tweeted this:

Mission: Impossible? Wendy Williams Asked To Tone It Down + Paula Patton Cast In New "Mission: Impossible" Movie

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 06:42 AM PDT

 

Talk about a mission impossible - Wendy Williams has been asked to tone it down for next season. Find out why when you read on plus learn about Paula Patton's new movie role...
 
 

<!--break-->

 
Executives at "The Wendy Williams Show" want the vivacious daytime talk show host to be a little less "Wendy" for the upcoming season. To appeal to middle-America moms, executives told the hair-and-makeup team to tone down Williams' look and for Wendy to tone down the personality.  
 
Now we all know and love Wendy.  It's going to be hard for her to be someone she's not. I think the execs are making a mistake.  Maybe you shouldn't test for her demographic in an area which doesn't represent her demographic.  Just a thought... 

 

YBF chick Paula Patton has been cast in the new Mission: Impossible movie.  It's a big feat for Patton who is said to have beaten out many Hollywood actresses to star as a young operative working with Tom Cruise.  

Patton and Cruise join returning actors Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg along with new-to-the-franchise actor Jeremy Renner.  Cameras start rolling this fall. Mission: Impossible is planned for a December 16, 2011 release.

Will you go see it?

 

COUPLEDOM: Newlyweds Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Bump Around NYC

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 05:37 AM PDT

Alicia Keys, her baby bump, and hubby Swizz Beatz hit the streets, arm in arm, of Tribeca yesterday to make a store run.  More pics of the newlyweds when you read on...

<!--break-->

The twosome was later spotted at one of their favorite N.Y.C. spots – Via dei Mille – having a romantic, and healthy, dinner.

 

I know it's extra hot lugging around a baby bump on a 90+ degree day.  But Alicia still manages to look cute and relaxed.

DAMMIT! T.I. & Tiny BUSTED For Possession!

Posted: 02 Sep 2010 04:54 AM PDT

Just when we thought these two had hopped on the road to recovery, this ish goes down.  Deets on T.I. and Tiny's arrest last night when you read on....

 

*UPDATE* Both T.I. and Tiny were released at 4AM.

<!--break-->

Despite T.I. producing the #1 movie in the country and Tiny marrying the man of her dreams, the two have found themselves in trouble....again.  Last night while riding in the streets of L.A. in the Maybach, the newlyweds were pulled over by cops.  And, of course, the cops smelled weed.

According to TMZ, the two were arrested for possion of a controlled substance on the spot, and are being held in custody on a $10,000 bond.

T.I. still hasn't learned to have a runner for his illegal ish, and Tiny is still about to ride or die for her man.  I see things haven't changed since TIP's jail sentence.  And by the way, he's on probation still.  And has been on the road to recovery for over a year.  Now all that has been tossed to sh*t.

For anyone else without a prior record, this charge wouldn't have been relatively horrendous.  But when you already get off easier than you could have for a previous charge, and the Feds are studying your every move, this ish is going to get very real....
