| OH SNAP! Fantasia & Antwuan Cook Vacay In Barbados...And Fanny's Got An EXTRA Round Belly! Posted: 28 Jun 2011 09:31 AM PDT So much for leaving the married Antwaun Cook alone. Fantasia tried to kill herself over this dude almost a year ago. But she came back strong to release her newest album, Back To Me, and said she left HIM. But clearly...she hasn't.
Fanny and Antwaun Cook, were just spotted having a romantic vacation on the beaches of Barbados. There's been rumors swirling of her being knocked up by 'Twaun as her belly has grown a bit larger over the last few months. Is it just weight gain for her new movie role? PICS INSIDE.... Say it aint so 'Tasia! Looks like she's back in the arms of Antaun Cook--the same person she had a complete spiral over when she "found out" he was married with kids after they started a relationship together. The twosome--along with Fanny's daughter Zion-- were on the island since Fantasia performed a concert there over the weekend. And she's raising our eyebrows in this purple one-piece swimsuit as she, her fam, and Antwaun had some fun snorkeling and chillin' on a boat. Is this a preggers swimsuit body:
Antwaun and his wife Paula Cook (they also have 3 kids together) started divorce proceedings back in November (where Fantasia admitted to the judge in a testimony that she had an abortion after becoming pregnant with Antwaun's baby) , but it's nowhere near over we hear. Yet and still, it looks like Fanny and 'Twaun--who have been dating since 2009 when we first reported their interesting relationship--are back together. Fantasia signed on to play Mahalia Jackson in an upcoming film, and reportedly is packing on pounds to do so. So is this belly a result of her movie role weight gain--or is another baby on the way? Hmmm.... Pics via SPLASH  |

And in couples' news...... Mike Tyson renewed his vows to his wife Lakiha Tyson in a surprise ceremony at the M Resort in Las Vegas over the weekend. Guests arrived at the event expecting to celebrate with the couple for a joint birthday party (Mike and Lakiha were both born in June) but the pair surprised guests by appearing in wedding attire and jumping the broom again. Originally married in a small chapel in 2009, this time around, the pair had a traditional Muslim ceremony. Congrats to the couple!

| Dallas Mav Champion Shawn Marion Kicks Off Reality Show With A Trophy Pool Party Posted: 28 Jun 2011 05:39 AM PDT NBA World Champion Shawn ‘The Matrix’ Marion wasted no time dipping into the reality show world. We mentioned a while back he was interested in shooting a show around himself and the women in his life (you know...like T.O. did already). And he hosted a big ass pool party to ccontinue his champ celebration...with cameras rolling.
Pics inside... With his upcoming reality show, “The Ladies In My Life” and in celebration of Shawn Marion’s 1st NBA Championship with The Dallas Mavericks, Shawn had chicks in bikinis and his homies and a few lucky fans over for a celebration pool party! The "exclusive and private event" was held at his 14,000 sq foot estate and sponsored by Belvedere, Red Bull and Budweiser. We've heard Shawn is a good guy and not like your typical baller. But you never know. Will you be watching his show? Photos: Maddox.com  |

And the folks over at BBC2 were very happy with Bey after her Glastonbury concert as she doubled their viewing audience drawing in 2.5 million viewers to their channel, a record. She also sat for a post-concert interview and we have it along with pics from the show inside...... Beyonce Knowles was snapped leaving London's Harrods after recording a piece for an edition of Life Stories with Piers Morgan yesterday. Somebody's still basking in the glow of her Glastonbury performance.
For last night's performance, Bey wore this Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2010 mini dress. It was embellished with Swarovski crystals and teamed with a pair of hot pants, black sparkling booties and a gold buckle belt. I guess she performed "Bootylicious" too.
And she had her support system in the audience. Husband Jay-Z, Steve Stoute, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jay Electronica.

| Posted: 27 Jun 2011 10:30 AM PDT Last night the 2011 BET AWARDS went down in Los Angeles and we've got pics from the audience and backstage that we didn't post last night. Plus those "Real Househusband" skits featuring Bobby Brown, Tami Roman and Nick Cannon. Nia Long is pregant and fabulous....in heels!
Hey Nia!
Mary J. Blige showed off her banging figure last night after opening the show.
"The Game" star Hosea Chanchez wore custom suits from AKOO Clothing Designs in New York for the show. He presented on stage with his co-stars Meagan Good and Pooch Hall. And LeToya Luckett was seen at the show. She came with her ex-Slim Thug. Verrrry intersting.... Diddy's sons were there: Quincy, Christian and Justin. We barely recognized Quincy with that hair.... Lil' Wayne got a kiss from one of the women in his life....his daughter Reginae.
Ashanti was there with her boo Nelly. So I guess they're "back together". Flo-Rida was in the audience with Melyssa Ford--his new chick-o-the-month. Their song is a classic....however, did anyone notice how out of tune/key/ Alexander O'Neal was? But Cherrelle looked great. The Five Heartbeats reunited and they still look good. Heeeey Leon....
The Smiths (Will, Willow, Jada, Jaden) kicked it in the audience. We love those shoes Idris Elba. His sexiness was just on 100 last night. Lady Snoop...Shante Broadus was there.
Taraji P. Henson sparkled. Not the most flattering dress for her bangin' bod but she can pull off almost anything. Chris Brown posed with his awards back in the press room.
And a few red carpet extras: We heart Jilly! And Romeo, Toccara, and Tracee Ellis Ross all hit the carpet looking nice. Throughout the show, host Kevin Hart presented a series of skits about "The Real Househusbands of Hollywood." Of course, they featured his celeb friends as cast... and many surprises including Tami Roman. And also, Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal performed "Saturday Love."
Watch Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal here:

| TRAVEL FAB: The Obama Family Goes On Safari! Posted: 27 Jun 2011 09:20 AM PDT We told you previously that the Obama family would be spending their weekend on a safari while in Botswana, and we have the pics of the First Fam wrapping up their South African journey inside.... First Lady Michelle Obama, Sasha, Malia, and their extended fam made a goodwill trip through South Africa and Botswana last week and capped it off with an open-air safari this weekend.
Looks like the family spotted something wild and fascinating.
During the trip, Mrs. O made a stop with Sasha at Borakanelo, a restaurant in the village of Mochudi, Botswana. The fam was back home in the U.S.A. Sunday night. Mrs. Obama told reporters accompanying her that she was a "direct representative" of her husband during stops in South Africa and neighboring Botswana. Her agenda included meeting with Nelson Mandela and retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu, dining with Oprah Winfrey, visiting key places of anti-apartheid era, urging young people to succeed and gauging efforts to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic gripping sub-Saharan Africa. At the trip's end, she and her family went on this safari in a big-game reserve. Fab trip indeed.
