Ricky Romance Catches A Beatdown From Two LA Bouncers?

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 08:34 AM PDT

 

Last night, Ricky Romance (brother of Raz B) got popped in the mouth and slapped to the ground for talking smack to a burly LA bouncer....and there's video. Get the deets on the smackdown inside.....

After getting kicked out of the Playhouse Nightclub in LA, a furious Ricky Romance started talking smack to a big LA bouncer.  Then for some reason....little Ricky Romance slaps the big bouncer.  Oh lawd...SMH....why did he do that?

Of course Ricky then received a mouth full of fist and ended up layed out in the street.  But wait....there's more. 

A second bouncer (who clearly felt he needed to have the back of the other bouncer) gets at Ricky too.  Once Ricky is up on his feet (dazed and confused) a second bouncer puts him in a headlock.  At this point, it looks like Ricky is gasping for air.  Then they drag him out of the camera's view into an alley. 

According to TMZ....attempts to reach Ricky were unsuccessful.  Hmm....this from the same man who used to post youtube videos about just about anything.  Now he's in hiding...

Who gets slapped up by security in front of tons of people?  That aint gangsta.  Where are you Ricky Romance?

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 07:59 AM PDT

Rihanna may have skipped out on the actual 2011 BET Awards last night, but y'all know she aint missing a party.  Rih was spotted sneaking in and out of Playhouse nightclub for the Ciroc Vodka BET After Party.  We've got pics of her and tons of other folks partying hard inside....

Rihanna hid her face and held on to her bodyguard as she hit up Playhouse for a BET afterparty last night in a slinky silver dress.  She missed the show, but made sure to hit up the after sets.

Mario was spotted leaving with some ladies as well.

Rappers Too Short, Game and Snoop hit the carpet.

Loving this look on Teyana Taylor.  Super cute and chic white ruched skirt with a sheer bottom half, and a lilac bustier top.  Great combo.  hate the purple hair tips, but great look overall.

Ne-Yo loves him some hugs from the ladies.

Oh really Tommy?  REALLY? Barely even recognized this dude.  This shirt is just all kinds of incorrect.

Toni Braxton got gorge on the Ciroc carpet.

Elise Neal and cutie David Banner were there to party.

Loves me some CeCe Peniston.  But kinda scared to see the res of her outfit.  The 41-year-ols is looking good though after all these years.

 

Over at the Jive Official Post BET Awards Party at Voyeur:

Chris Brown celebrated his many wins last night with Michael Kyser.

Diddy made his rounds and was spotted with his Dirty Money gals....and Laurie Ann.

And J.Cole and Miguel partied it up.

 

Then over at the Remy Martin Post BET Awards Dinner, the YBF chicks were in full force:

Estelle and Tika Sumpter switched up their dresses and got their drink on.  Erika Liles showed off her baby bump in this super cute sparkly multi-colored dress.

Hey Tank.

Diggy's cute self was there.  Must suck not to be able to drink yet everyone ese is....

Trey Songz switched into something more comfortable for the parties.

Nelly switched into his sweats (can't even say I'm mad about it) and laughed it up with Kevin Liles, Estelle, and Tika.

Terrence J partied it up with the fellas.

Trey loves him some Tika.

Oh yes.  Good times.

SPLITSVILLE: "Basketball Wives" Star Jennifer Williams FINALLY Files For Divorce

Posted: 27 Jun 2011 06:27 AM PDT

As we sadly (or eagerly...your pick) watched Jennifer Williams' marriage to Eric Williams fall apart before our eyes on "Basketball Wives" last season, the reality star has pulled the final trigger and filed those papers.  Deets inside.....

TMZ reports that reality star Jennifer Williams has officially filed divorce papers at the Hudson County Superior Court in New Jersey. And she's likely decked out in a fab maxi dress and 5-inch heels from Dulce somewhere in Miami right now.  Sources reports that she is seeking spousal support from her son-to-be ex-husban Eric Williams and an "equal distribution of their assets."  Whatever that means.

Hopefully she gets it because she can't wait by the mailbox for child support like her friends.  

If this aint a WOMP situation if I ever seen one....

Read on for an eyeful of 60+ pics.....

Oh Ms. Kelly.  WRITE A BOOK.  Because this much fabness should not be kept a secret.  She hit tonight's carpet before her slay-worthy performance on stage in this hot pink Marchesa dress.  Loving the petal detail from shoulder to hem.  Perfect swept up hair too.  Fab.

Even Uncle Bustaa and Auntie Eve were there to kick it with them.

 

Ashanti hit the carpet in this blue Jean Fares Couture gown and Giussepe Zanotti shoes.

Pretty as usual.

The Smith kids--Willow and Jaden--tied for the Young Star Award:

"Fresh Prince" & Mrs. Pinket-Smith taught them a great work ethic.  And they were such proud parents tearing up in the audience.  Gotta love it.

 

Tika Sumpter hosted for Bet.com and she rocked this mini-slit white dress by Herve Leger which revealed just enough.

Diddy, Dawn, and Kalenna worked it out in all-white everything.

Nicki Minaj and her assets hit the carpet in this interesting deep pink dress with piled looped sleeves and hem.  And her grey tights and short bob to top it of.

Hey Mr. Townsend.

Nick Cannon is in that gym I see.  Pulling off the head to toe white and pastel tie and shirt nicely.

Yes for Ne-Yo and his hat.

Sigh.  This isn't prom Meagan.  Your bod is too hot and petitie to wear something so overpowering. If you got it, flaunt it.

Oh, hello Lloyd.  He rocked this leather Marc Jacobs vest and green army pants buy Diesel to show off his cut chest. And paired it all with Loboutin sneakers.

Shaun Robinson was there in a simple cocktail dress.

Ms. Ledisi was there to participate in the Patti Labelle tirbute.

Mr. Laz Alonso hit the carpet in an all black suit.  Could have gone shirtless.  We wouldn't have minded.

She held a sparkling Judith Leiber clutch all night.  Nice.

Amber has a thing for catsuits on red carpets while she's tonguing down her man:

Cutie Diggy Simmons performed during the pre-show.


Absolutely LOVED KeKe Palmer's look tonight.  Especially the hair.

In DJ Khaled's latest video for "I'm On One" you can expect some very dark imagery from the Gil Green directed clip.  In fact, when asked about the video Gil said,

“The whole idea is it’s not that polished glamour side of Miami, it’s the real side,” added Green. “The idea of this video is very dark, it’s very dreary. The imagery is very seductive and moody and edgy.”

Lil Kim Rolls To The Gay Pride Parade In NYC, Boycotts BET Awards

Posted: 26 Jun 2011 02:25 PM PDT

Lil Kim is overit.com.  She tweeted that not only will she not be at the BET Awards this year, but she has another word for them and is attending the NYC Gay Pride parade and parties tonight instead.

 

Pics of Kimmy Priding it up in Manhattan today and more inside...

As the Gay Pride parade took over 5th Avenue in Manhattan today, Kim partied on a float with her Queens and had some fun.  She's partying it up at the Latin Quarter nightclub tonight as well. And she tweeted this little nugget the other day about why she won't be at tonight's Awards in L.A.  She wasn't nominated of course.  But it seems like there's just some deeper rooted bitterness going on here:

 

EBT?  *snickers*  She's a funny funny gal...
