Awww how special.  Terrence J. has a recurring role on this new season of "The Game." So his new boo Brandy--who's back to her 90's braids--was on his arm in L.A. last night to celebrate at the show's premiere party at the Directors Guild Of America.

 

We've got pics of the cast, BET execs, and their celeb friends when you read on...

Ray J, Brandy, Brittany Daniel, Terrance J, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Tia Mowry, Free (who shares the same manager as Terrence) and Barry Floyd all kicked it at the party.  Everyone's looking fabulous.

Exec. Producer and creator of "The Game", Mara Brock Akil, kicked it with HBIC of BET Debra Lee.

Hey Loretta.  I see you still love your animal print, but didn't overdo it this time.

Actor Derek Luke (far right) posed at the party with Pastor Wayne Chaney, 1st Lady Myesha Chaney, and Derek's wife Sophia Adella Luke.

Hosea and his tv mom Wendy snapped a cute pic.

Producer Warryn Campbell (Soul Seekers), Erica Atkins-Campbell, Tina Atkins-Campbell of Mary Mary and musician/ singer Teddy Campbell (Soul Seekers) all posed together.

Actors Joyful Drake and Nadine Ellis of BET's new original show "Let's Stay Together" kicked it with Stephen Hill and Wendy Raquel Robinson.  It was that show's premiere party as well.  Loving Wendy's dress.

Duane Martin hit the party with fellow actors Eriq La Salle and Damien Wayans.

Hey Coby Bell.

Actors Jenifer Lewis, Joyful Drake and Vanessa Bell Calloway came out to support.

Wonder if Deb as trying to talk Brandy and Ray-J into switching their reality show from their Viacom sibling VH1.

Fun times.  "The Game" and "Let's Stay Together" premiere January 11th.  Can't wait!

Posted: 08 Jan 2011 07:53 AM PST

 

Christina Milian and Toni Braxton were both spotted out in Cali yesterday and we have pics for you.

 

Christina Milian, who recently appeared on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," was spotted leaving a lunch date with Paris Hilton for Paris' upcoming reality TV show.  Chris and Paris friends?  I can't see it.  Interesting.

Cute casual chic look.

But I guess we'll see what happened at lunch when the show debuts. 

 

She left in her Benz truck to head home to baby Violet.

 
And Toni Braxton was spotted on the red carpet at the WE TV portion of the Winter 2011 TCA Panel at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA yesterday:

Nice red dress.  Hating the green shoes with it though.

While there she posed with John Miller, SVP Original Production & Development at WE.

She also ran into Joan and Melissa Rivers.

 

She was joined on stage by her mom for a big reason.

She, her mom and sisters have a new reality show on WE called "Braxton Family Values."  We posted their promo pic yesterday.  This ought to be interesting.

OH SNAP: Disgruntled Employee BLASTS Lil Kim's Cousin Katrise About Their FRAUDULENT Hair Salon!

Posted: 08 Jan 2011 06:17 AM PST

After all the photoshoots (where this pic is from) and opening events, folks are starting to blast Katrise Jones for her fraudulent behavior in opening up the Salon Se Swa hair salon in Charlotte--with her famous cousin Lil Kim.  Kim is Katrise's business partner for these new salons.

 

A disgruntled former employee is blasting Katrise for owing over $60,000 to her employees and creditors.  And she's even been locked up for writing fraudulent checks.  Read on for the deets...

The folks over at Rasha Entertainment caught wind of a letter written by a former employee that was originally sent to the "Wendy Williams Show."  Apparently, Lil Kim's cousin has a checkered past that involves not paying her debts or her employees, and she writes hot checks to get by.  And still does.  Here's the letter detailing the foolery:

I know you mentioned on your show about Lil Kim’s salon, Salon Se Swa in Charlotte, NC. I need to give you the 4-1-1 on her crazy cousin, Katrise Jones who co-owned Salon Se Swa. First of all, Katrise does NOT pay her employees and she is in so much debt that she hasn’t even paid her rent at the salon or her house. Which I hear she moved out in the middle of the night owing the landlord over $15,000. Poor Lil Kim trusted Katrise as so many others and Lil Kim needs to run the other way. I met Lil Kim and she is an innocent person in this mess that Katrise made.

Katrise is a fraud and owes over $60,000 to people including employees, rents on her “shops”, her fabulous Range Rover. Here is a link to prove what I am saying. Inmate search on Katrise Jones. She has written over $15, 000 in fraudulant checks. She is what we call a HDM-a Hot Damn Mess!

Love you, gurl. How you doing.
 

Wow.  The mug shot above was taken from Katrise's previous stint in the slammer.

Ummm....ok Onicka.

BIKINI BOAT COUPLE: Nicole Murphy & Michael Strahan Get Frisky In Barbados

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 10:27 AM PST

Engaged couple Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan took a little romantic boat ride in Barbados yesterday.  And while we're dodging ginormous snowflakes here on the east coast, Nicole Murphy hopped around in her skimpy green bikini flaunting her bangin' body.

 

We've got more pics of the boating couple when you read on...

 

Yes--Nicole always looks like she just rolled off the plastic surgeon's table.  But clearly she does what she needs to do to be happy. And she looks HOT.  Funny that she finds ways and means to boat around the Caribbean even when she's broke.  Better hope Michael was better with his NFL money then you were with your divorce money girl....

Work it out then Nicole.  Wonder when the wedding is....
