TRINA: I'm NOT Pregnant & I Love My Curves So F*CK OFF!

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 08:48 AM PDT

Somebody went and pissed off the baddest chick.  Ms. Trina just issued a profanity laced statement to all "y'all haters" who are making up rumors she's pregnant just because some say she looks like she's gained a bit of weight recently.

 

We've got what she had to say about working her ass off in the gym and not being 100 pounds when you read on...

Not only is Trina denying rumors that she's pregnant, she went on a Twitter tirade about people talking ish about her weight. 

After pics of the curvier than usual 32-year-old Trina surfaced of her filming her new video for "Hit It Right," the rumor mill got to twirling about her possibly being pregnant.  And it didn't help her ex Kenyon Martin was spotted on the set with her. 

The "Million Dollar Girl" rapper says she'll never be 100 pounds, she doesn't do diet pills, and she's NOT pregnant.  Oh, and she issued the obligatory "F**k Off" too.

To whom it may concern, I am my own woman, make my own money, pay my own bills... Don't ask anybody for shit so therefore FUCK off!!!

I will NOT ever be 100 pounds.. So if that's what y'all want #killyoself I have and will always be a woman with curves! And I LOVE them...

I DO not take diet pills or any other crash diets to lose weight! I work out like normal people so if I gain a few pounds so FUCKIN what!!!

Every woman is NOT suppose to look like a dammn broomstick! I'm very comfortable i'n my own skin with all my curves and assests! #thanksmom

I DON'T give a shit about no blogs or none of u HATERS!! I'm so important i'n your eyes that's the reason u take the time to talk shit!
 

And she's def not letting any of it get to her.  She signed off with:

Now back to what's important!! *presses play on bey cd  and turns the volume up* #kissmyentirea$$ all of it!!!!!!!!!

*SNAPS!* Honestly, we think Trina has one of the baddest natural bods in the game--always have and always will.  One of our fave CGU chicks.  So do you boo...

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 05:57 AM PDT

What a fab lunch date for the Hounsous!  Kimora Lee was spotted rocking a hot blue curve hugging mini dress while on a lunch date in Beverly Hills with her hubby Djimon.

 

We've got pics of the twosome being their usual hot selves inside....

 

 

Kimora played with the paparazzi at lunch flipping the camera on them instead.  And she had the last laugh flaunting her toned bod in this cute dress and black Louboutin pumps and her reddish pink Birkin bag as she headed home:

And she flashed her canary diamond wedding ring and bright yellow summer nails as the two drove off.  Cute! 

And speaking of that whopper of a ring, Kimora recently dished to Us Weekly, while out promoting her new fragrance Love me, that she suggests picking love over money any day...kinda:

"You could pawn the ring and get the money. And if you're in love and it doesn't work out, there's always an insurance policy in there somewhere."

Peep the vid:

Asked about the fragrance, Jennifer said,

 'With Love & Light, I wanted to create a fragrance that was less about the world around you and more about your inner light and your spirit,’ she said in a press release. ‘It’s about how you feel inside, it’s not about your outside world.’

In movie news, JLo has joined the cast of What To Expect When You're Expecting with Cameron Diaz. She will play a woman who adopts a baby from abroad with her husband after having difficulty conceiving.

I love the old-Hollywood style glam shots.

 

 

And in Beyonce news,

Tomorrow night, MTV is airing a special called “Beyoncé: Year of 4,” at 7 PM ET/PT that takes fans on a journey through the artistic process of the multi-Grammy Award-winning artist to make her 4 album.

“Beyoncé has always placed her fans first and this special will give them front row seats to the intimate process of creating her newest album "4," said Van Toffler, President, MTV Music Group, LOGO and Films. 

"Beyoncé: Year of 4" is the story of her return as an independent woman navigating her company through the rough waters of the music industry.

Beyonce takes a year off to travel the world and spend time with her family and husband, Jay-Z (documented by her with her own camera). Then she decides to take control of her business, while making an album that is heartfelt and personal. For her, 4, is a conscious effort to do something completely different without playing to the mainstream expectations of her.

Jada Pinkett Smith Covers The August 2011 Issue Of "REDBOOK" + Rihanna Launches National Campaign For Vita Coco

Posted: 29 Jun 2011 02:46 PM PDT

Jada Pinkett Smith covers the August 2011 issue of REDBOOK Magazine where she talks about making sacrifices for her family.  Read the highlights inside and see pics of Rihanna in her VITA COCO ad.

In an article that hits stands on July 12, Jada Pinkett Smith talks to REDBOOK about making sacrifices for her family.

On putting family first:

"I had to make choices. Believe me, I would still be on the road with my band, Wicked Wisdom, and making as many movies as I can a year, and doing all sorts of other things if I didn't have the responsibility of a family. But I have children with their own talents and dreams, and I know I have to be standing next to them for that journey."

On giving up on her rockstar dreams:

“It was excruciating, completely excruciating. When Jaden was auditioning for The Pursuit of Happyness, my band had just gotten an offer to open for Guns N’ Roses in Europe. For me, that was unbelievable. But the choice was: I could be a rock star, or I could be on the set with my son to make sure he was healthy and happy. We all know how that story ended!”

On raising her kids in Hollywood:

"Let me tell you what I fear most: Them growing up like I did, in a house with drugs in a war zone, where if I walked out my door I could be shot. Hollywood ain't nothing compared to that! Growing up in the streets of Baltimore, or the streets of Philly where Will grew up — I'd rather have my kids here. It still makes me nervous that they're part of something that isn't totally real, but it's up to Will and me to teach them what's real and what's not."

 

The article features photos from the Smith family photo album.

 
 

Nice.
 

 

In the advertising world.....

Today, Rihanna launched an ad campaign for VITA COCO, 100% coconut water (a company which counts Madonna as an investor).


And in case you haven't jumped on the band wagon, coconut water is fast becoming an "it" drink for both its flavor and hydrating capabilities.
 

And the drink was featured prominently in the "Man Down" video...probably the only good press RiRi got for the video.

POP OFF: Idris Elba Goes At A Reporter + Tracy Morgan Makes Nasty Comments About "Retards"

Posted: 29 Jun 2011 09:46 AM PDT

You can't just say anything that's on your mind to actor Idris Eba. (Even though we always want to...about other things.)  Anyways, one reporter in the 2011 BET Awards press room learned that the hard way after the actor popped off on her about asking him about his Tyler Perry comments.

Get the deets inside and find out which new slur Tracy Morgan is accused of using in his standup.

 

Earlier this year, Idris Eba made some comments that many people would call "negative" about Tyler Perry that also echoed comments Spike Lee made about the director. What Idris said was, 

“Can I be candid? I don’t like all of Tyler Perry’s films. Yes, I did work with Tyler for ‘Daddy’s Little Girls’ because it portrayed a positive image of a black father. I am happy for Tyler’s success…we need Tyler Perry…by going to support his movies, we need to show economic strength. But we are also responsible for elevating film. I’m not with buffoonish characters like Madea or Big Momma.”

That's pretty straightforward right?  So why did a reporter ask Idris to clarify/justify that statement?  And Idris was not happy about.  With his British accent, Idris basically called the reporter a dumbass....but he used VERY nice words.  And he sounded very sexy when he did it. 

Listen to the exchange here:

 

 

 

 

In other celebrity pop off news.....

 

Tracy Morgan should just walk around with a foot in his mouth.  It would keep him from talking and save the rest of us from his bad jokes.

Over the weekend, Tracy performed in NYC and proved once again that standup isn't his gift.  He warned his audience,

"Don't ever mess with women who have retarded kids. Them young retarded males is strong. They're strong like chimps."

Then he told a story about a girl he once dated, whom he called a "a cripple" with a prosthetic arm, a mechanical larynx and a portable dialysis machine. 

This from the same man who was in tears a few weeks ago because he didn't know his words hurt people.

Loves me some Tracy but if you're gonna be ballsy enough to say things like this, you gotta take the heat....
