Posted: 16 Dec 2010 08:36 AM PST The Queen Bee is still rumbling. Check out Lil Kim's promo for her upcoming video for her Nicki Minaj diss track "Clap Clap/Black Friday" after the jump.
Oh, and the two ladies linked romantically to 50 Cent had a little pow wow last night. Check out Ciara on "Chelsea Lately" when you read on...
Check out the full diss track here in case you missed it on Black Friday. Chelsea Handler and Ciara got sexy on "Chelsea Lately" last night. Both donned tight extra mini black dresses while talking shop. Interestingly--the only thing they didn't speak about--was 50 Cent. Even more interesting--I've been watching Chelsea since DAY 1. Not once has she worn a dress this sexy. Interesting timing on the same day Ciara (who's known for rocking dresses like this) was a guest. Competition much? Just sayin'. |

Rasheeda is back on the rap scene again and we've got her new video for "Badder" ft. Toya Carter, plus deets on Chrisette Michele going to court for a $20 million lawsuit when you read on...
Rasheeda is gearing up to release her new video for 'Badder' with Toya Carter and Jasper. The single dropped in early September so I'm not sure why the video is coming out at the end of the year. Anyways, Rasheeda and Toya have hooked up before on the 'Bedrock' ladies remix. I wonder if Toya will try to follow in Wayne's footsteps and start releasing mixtapes?
Here's the video:
The rap game ain't for everybody. And I'll leave it at that.
Chrisette Michelle and her Def Jam camp are heading to court over a $20 mill lawsuit. Douglas 'Biggs' Ellison of Four Kings Production filed the lawsuit against Chrisette, her parents, and an A&R executive in 2008. He claims that the defendants used unlawful business practices to get Chrisette out of her contract with the company. In 2007, Chrisette filed a motion against Four Kings Production claiming the company embezzled money from her Def Jam contract and harassed her. Chrisette later withdrew the allegations but Ellison claims his reputation was tremendously damaged once the media learned about the case. Four Kings Production also claims that it entered into an agreement with Def Jam and completed several songs that appeared on Chrisette's debut album. Here's what Ellison had to say,
Chrisette's publicist says that all these claims appeared after a romantic relationship between Chrisette and Ellison went bad after the two met in college. She says, "This is just a case of the jilted lover and gold digging manager getting caught, the Payne's and Mr. Berry did not unlawfully try to get Chrisette out of her contract with Four Kings. Mr. Ellison's devious plot to exploit and rip Chrisette off began to be revealed." Hmm. Who do you believe? BONUS: Chrisette hit the "George Lopez Show" last night to perform her track "Goodbye Game" off her new Let Freedom Reign album:
Check it.

COURTSIDE CANDIDS: Trey Songz, Fabolous, Amber Rose, & Spike Lee Hit The Knicks/Celtics Game Posted: 16 Dec 2010 07:14 AM PST
Last night, the Boston Celtics played the New York Knicks and spotted courtside were Trey Songz, Fabolous and Amber Rose in the crowd. See the pics inside...
Looks like a Gucci-heeled Fab had some fun with Mr. Trigga.
And Amber Rose wasn't too far down. I wonder why they didn't sit together. They looked close in Fab's latest video.
Their number one fan was there:
Everyone knows Spike Lee is ride-or-die for the Knicks. Jessica Schzor of "Gossip Girl" was there looking cute too.

Mike Vick Lavishes A Porsche & Birthday Bash On His Fiance Kijafa Posted: 16 Dec 2010 06:18 AM PST Philly Eagles comeback QB Mike Vick just made his fiancee Kijafa Frank a very happy woman. For her recent b-day bash at a Philly nightclub, Mike whipped out the best present of the night. While Kijafa opened up perfumes and gift card presents from her friends, her man whipped around the corner with her new whip--a brand new $90,000 Porsche Panamera.
Read on for the pics.... TMZ copped the couples' party pics: She had a cake repping her accessories and jewelry company PNK Elephant.
Interesting look. And it pays to have a PAID fiance: Nice! BONUS: Mike did an interview with The Grio where he talked about getting a pet dog in the near future:
Hmm. Good intentions. But...he may want to have kept that to himself.

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: 50 Cent Suits Up For The January 2011 Cover of BLACK ENTERPRISE Posted: 16 Dec 2010 05:55 AM PST For their January 2011 issue, Black Enterprise mag has “The Many Faces of 50” and an all-access feature story on Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. BE editor Tennille Robinson was able to get a number of details on him regarding his estimated worth, most recent deals and how he’s managed to leverage his celebrity into a number of business ventures. 50’s all business in this story, no beef. That's a surprise. Read on for our exclusive first look at the cover and behind the scenes shots.... The cover shoot took place in Los Angeles, which is where 50 is currently based since he’s gotten more involved with acting and producing movies for his production company Cheetah Vision. He's already started filming The Set Up with where he stars opposite Bruce Willis. And it's the first of a 10-picture deal backed by a $200 million fund financed by the New York City-based Hedge Fund Film Partners. Nice.
Here's some behind the scenes pics from the L.A. shoot. He's busy going down the Ice Cube lane of making millions directing and producing his own movies. Say what you want about Fif and his sometimes arrogance and foolishness, dude is a beast on the business tip. And sexy of course:

WOMP WOMP FILES: Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, His Father & Others Indicted For Corruption Posted: 16 Dec 2010 04:46 AM PST It's so cold in the D! A federal grand jury indicted former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father, and three former top aides on racketeering charges yesterday. The defendants are accused of turning the mayor's office into a criminal enterprise to enrich themselves, their families and friends. Get the deets inside...
The drama with Kwame Kilpatrick has been going on for years at this point. The former Detroit Mayor, (from left to right) city contractor Bobby Ferguson, former water department chief Victor Mercado, Kwame's father Bernard Kilpatrick and former top aide Derrick Miller are targeted in a huge public corruption investigation announced yesterday. According to the Detroit Free Press.:
One of the major points of contention is whether contractors soliciting city work while Kwame was mayor were pressured to hire his father as a consultant. Bernard Kilpatrick established a consulting firm around the time his son was elected. The FBI has subpoenaed documents from water and sewerage contractors with close ties to the Kilpatricks and city contractor Bobby Ferguson, which will all play a key role. With all these charges, the defendants are facing anywhere from three to 30 years in prison. Meanwhile, Kwame is already serving a year and half to five years in federal prison for violating probation. And not to mention being outed for cheating on his wife and sexting with one of his employees. Attorneys for Kwame, his father, and Derrick Miller said they would fight the charges. Attorneys for Victor Mercado's and Bobby Ferguson have not released statements. See the U.S. Attorney's office hand down the list of corruption charges here:
WOMP. We don't have a ton of black mayors to begin with in this country...so this isn't a good look. |

Earlier today, Nick Cannon got into the holiday spirit by handing out toys at a Build-a-Bear Workshop benefiting the Toys for Tots Foundation. Then he was asked by E! News to clear up the "twin" rumors (he posted a Holiday card online for his fans and said he's thankful for "the new ADDITONS to his family") and Nick referred to his baby(ies) using a plural pronoun. Here's video of the proud papa: Double mini-Mimi's? Oh my! For The Hollywood Reporter's 'Legends Issue' - 80th Anniversary - Sidney Poitier posed with Halle Berry representing the first African-Americans to win Oscars for best actor/actress. Sidney for Lilies Of The Field (1964) and Halle for Monster's Ball (2002). They were shot by Peggy Sirota at Sidney's Beverly Hills home:
Halle commented in the issue about attempting to take baby Nahla to meet Mr. Porter. Here's an excerpt:

Posted: 15 Dec 2010 12:52 PM PST Well doesn't Mr. Odom just fit right on in with the Kardashian-Jenners? Khloe's hubby and Laker baller Lamar Odom posed with Kris, Khloe, Kourtney, Kim, Bruce, Rob, Scott, little Mason, Kendall and Kylie for their 2010 Christmas card they just posted online. Why I find this pic hilarious is beyond me.
Plus, pics of Dirty Money's album release party last night in NYC when you read on... No Christmas tree, no tinsel, barely any Christmas colors....this "Christmas Card" is doing the mafiaesque most. With the exception of that cutie Mason who just turned one...poor thing had no say. Here's Kim K.'s explanation she posted on her site:
It would actually make for a gorgeous regular photoshoot pic. But for a Christmas card....hmmm. In other news, Diddy and Dirty Money celebrated their Last Train To Paris album release party last night at the London hotel in NYC: Cousin Angie and Kevin Hart kicked it with Dawn and Kaleena. Youngin' Quincy was there. And Capricorn of course. Terrence J kicked it in the DJ booth. I can only imagine what was said with this Listerine bottle in Diddy's hand.... Oh, Diddy broadcasted the party live via UStream last night. And a naked booty model's weave caught on fire. True story. Photog: Nunez |
Charlemagne Retracts Going In On Diddy After Diddy Gets Mad He Disrespected Cassie Posted: 15 Dec 2010 12:07 PM PST Yesterday morning, Charlemagne went in on Diddy on "The Breakfast Club" on Power 105 about pretty much hating the Last Train To Paris album. And he also went off about people not checkin' for Diddy or his Dirty Money chicks. And that Diddy refused to go on "The Breakfast Club" because of Charlemagne's previous disrespect of Cassie. Apparently, disrespecting Cassie pissed him off more than Char dissing the Dirty Money movement.
Listen to Charlemagne's new change of heart after he had a chit chat with Mr. Combs off the air when you read on...
Here's yesterday's "Donkey of the Day" rant by Charlemagne.
And CLICK HERE for his semi-retraction this morning. Apparently, Diddy spoke to Char off-air and was mainly mad at Charlemagne because of a previous interview Char did with Cassie--where he accused her of sleeping her way into a album deal and things of the such. Diddy felt like "his woman who is close to him" was disrespected. Oh snap... Char says he still no likey Last Train to Paris though. Diddy called in to the station this morning to let the people know what went down. Hmmm. Basically Diddy wanted to be able to "school" Charlemagne about what to say and not to say when Diddy comes on his show. Can't even be mad at that boss move. |
IN CASE YOU CARE: Did 20-Year Old Groupie Break-Up Shawty Lo and Ex-Fiance Ecreia Perez? Posted: 15 Dec 2010 11:34 AM PST
Remember when Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo ("Dey Know") and his girl Ecreia Perez called off their wedding a few months ago? Well now we have a few homewrecking tidbits that may explain why the wedding never happened. Read on for the juice on how another groupie possibly destroyed another relationship... We always love a good homewrecker story. So here it goes....
Now from the jump, you may recall that the Shawty Lo/Ecreia Perez pairing had a lot going on. Remember when Ecreia tried to sneak into a Fulton County courthouse with a loaded .380 semi-automatic handgun? And when Shawty Lo and Ecreia initially broke up because of her alleged cheating and stealing? Well now, sources allege that Mr. Lo was cheating with a groupie, and that's what led to the break-up. Oh, and the groupie got pregnant! A source close to the situation and Shawty's family tells The YBF that he was cheating with a 20-year old "model" named "Jess." The streets were saying Jess was traveling with the rapper to Miami and the Bahamas and had also become pregnant. This led to drama with Ecreia who wanted to fight Jess, and Jess sadly lost the baby due to stress. And to make this extra messy, the source says Ecreia "got even" by sleeping with Jess' ex-boyfriend. Now, Shawty-Lo is slinging mud at Jess in a new remix with ATL rapper Lil' Hot called "I F*cked Her."
At the 2:17 mark, Shawty name checks Jessica saying she is a groupie. SMH. I won't even start on how offensive this song sounds. And why ish like this is still happening with grown ass people...

Keri Hilson recently sat down with TheYBF.com for an exclusive chat about her new album. She dished on her goals as a writer/singer, how she gets that insanely gorgeous skin, and how she deals with judgment from the masses. We rode along with her to her recent appearance on "Chelsea Lately." And we've got the chill convo that went down when you read on...
While out promoting the December 21st release for No Boys Allowed, YBF's L.A. correspondent Victoria Audele caught up with Keri to discuss her career and everything else. Highlights: On Her Singing Abilities Keri says she began to sing before she could even talk. She speaks on realizing when she had a gift and how she plans to share it with the world. On Ne-Yo, Kanye West, R. Kelly and being a Singer/Songwriter When Keri talks about her music she gets very excited and wants fan to get just as excited about it too. Giving props to Ne-Yo, Kanye West, and R. Kelly - Keri wants to be known as a talented songwriter/producer who also has longevity as a recording artist. On Appealing To Fans Keri compared herself to Kanye saying people first thought he was a great producer before they paid attention to his solo music. Keri plans to win people over the same way "or die trying." She wants her fans to "feel" her music, both as a producer and a performer. On "Pretty Girl Rock" Keri wrote this as a power anthem for females and wants all women to put their own name in the song. It was made to inspire women all over to be themselves and love themselves for who they are.
Watch Part 1 of our exclusive above. Part 2 where she defends sexing up her image and more coming tomorrow....

SPOTTED: The Carters Still Wining & Dining Down Under Posted: 15 Dec 2010 09:18 AM PST While we're back in the states freezing our ases off, Jay-Z and Beyonce are still enjoying the summer months in Australia. Beyonce, in a cutesy floral short set, and Jay rocking all black were spotted having some pizza and wine and taking in the famous harbour views at an upmarket eatery yesterday.
Pics when you read on.... Yum! The twosome hit up the famous pizzeria Hugos bar and restaurant in Manly beach. And ditched the private cars and limos and opted for the public ferry to get around the northern beach suburb. Nice. By the way, Jay made a surprise stop at Canterbury Boys High in between his shows with U2: He reportedly gave the teens some life advice before taking part in a spontaneous performance. Clearly they loved it. Photos: INF |
