LEAKS: Beyonce Reacts To Tabloids During "Countdown" Video Taping...Baby Actually Due This December?

Posted: 26 Nov 2011 08:20 AM PST

Seems like someone got a hold of the Elements of 4 DVD early. Because several leaks hit the net yesterday, including the "Dance For You" vid, showing Beyonce behind the scenes of her videos and speaking about her baby bump. And the unseen footage is likely straight from the upcoming DVD that releases this upcoming Tuesday. 

 

Check the vids inside (if you don't want spoilers...don't go in) where she says she's 6 months preggers on the set of "Countdown"....back in September.

In the above video, Beyonce is on the set of her "Countdown" video and is holding up the September 23rd Daily News.  She reveals she's 6 months pregnant and rubs her belly while sayng "Oh Baby!" 

6 months along in September?  Does that mean Baby Carter will actually be due this December/January...instead of February?  Hmmm.

And the below vids are Beyonce on the set of "Countdown" talking about how her and her husband's lives have changed so much and Bey taking fans behind the scenes of "Best Thing I Never Had" video and the throwback prom scene:

 

You copping the double disc DVD next week?

Good news for basketball fans...Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James and other favorites may be suited up for games by Christmas day. Deets inside....

After nearly two years of fighting, Commissioner David Stern recently announced the he and Derek Fisher, the president of the players' association, reached a tentative agreement early Saturday to end the 149-day lockout. He added, "We want to play basketball."

The NBA is hoping to begin the delayed season with a marquee tripleheader on Dec. 25.

So if all goes well, the 2011-12 season will open with the Boston Celtics at New York Knicks, followed by Miami at Dallas and Chicago at LA. But neither party provided many specifics about the deal.

"We thought it was in both of our interest to try to reach a resolution and save the game," said union executive director Billy Hunter.  

Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade told The Associated Press, "All I feel right now is 'finally.'"

Groupies EVERYWHERE just let out a sigh of relief......

50 Cent Responds To T.I., Loon Gets Arrested On Felony Drug Charges

Posted: 25 Nov 2011 05:52 PM PST

Y'all didn't think 50 was about to let T.I.'s comments in the new issue of VIBE slide did you?  Seeing that Mr. Jackson was the main person saying Tiny should have caught the entire case for her husband during their arrest in L.A. last year, Curtis responded to T.I.'s mouthy comments about it.

 

Check it inside, plus former Bad Boy Loon getting arrested on drug charges...

 

In September 2010, 50 Cent tweeted that "Tiny should have took the charge" for her husband since T.I. was just fresh out of jail at the time.  He said last year:

So T.I. had some words about that in the new upcoming issue of VIBE, saying

“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me.  We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

And tonight, 50 responded to T.I. tweeting:

 

Well it's water under the bridge now isn't it fellas.....

 

 

 

In other hip-hop foolishness, former Bad Boy artist Loon (who converted to Islam a few years ago) was arrested on drug charges back in May for committing felonies during 2006-2008.  And thanks to the federal indictment papers just now coming to light and him just getting arrested (again), the streets are just now finding out about it.

Loon, aka Chauncey Hawkins aka Amir Junaid Muhadith, was arrested and indicted for felony heroin distribution in North Carolina back in May, but found asylum in Algeria after initial release.  Just recently, he was spotted in Belgium and taken into custody, and will now be extradited back to the U.S.

Heroin though?  Damn homie...

T.I. Says The Gay Community Can Be "Too Sensitive", DOUBTS Bin Laden's Death And Defends Tiny In The Dec/Jan Issue Of VIBE

Posted: 25 Nov 2011 10:15 AM PST

T.I. covers the Dec/Jan 2012 issue of VIBE where he reveals his controversial thoughts on Bin Laden, the penal system, the gay community, and blast folks who think Tiny should have taken the charge for him. See the highlights inside.....

It's been a while since T.I. gave an in-depth interview, and in the latest issue of VIBE magazine (out on Dec. 6), he unloads a mouthful of controversial opinions.  Whether it's doubting the death of Bin Laden, defending homophobes or lashing out at people who attack his wife, you're likely going to give him the side-eye.  One way or the other.

Here are the highlights:

On Conspiracy Theories and Bin Laden's Death

The conversation shifts from Muammar Gaddafi’s death—which occurred five days prior—to Osama Bin Laden’s assassination to both Eastern giant’s once empowered relationship with the U.S. government. “It’s like everybody that the U.S. was besties with, years later they’re the worst person in the world,” says Tip. "My question is what character traits do they possess now that they didn’t possess when y’all were besties? What made it go astray, and who’s to say they were on the dishonest end of that?”

The politic’n doesn’t stop there. Before an article can be selected from the “Osama Bin Laden killed” search, T.I. twists his lips in sarcastic fashion and shoots, “If that really happened.”

VIBE:  So you’re skeptical about the legitimacy of Osama’s death?
T.I.: Man, I’m a conspiracy theorist by nature. You can’t experience the federal penal system and not be somewhat skeptical. 



On Equal Rights And Homophobia

Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.’

While T.I. makes clear that he supports anyone’s sexual preference, he then connects, in his opinion, a current oversensitivity among gay people with a consequential and ironic offense of the First Amendment. “They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ ... That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’

 

On people who say Tiny should have taken the drug charge for him -

“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a  have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.
T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’. “ 

So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?
That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household.

Interesting.  Does this interview make you like him more?  Or are you not feelin' him right now?
