Get the deets inside and watch a VERY candid interview with Elle Varner talking about being bullied as a teen, her struggles with weight and why it helps to be thin in the music industry. Paula Patton stopped by Jimmy Fallon's talk show last night, where she revealed she's having a big family bash for the holidays. Wonder who they will be dancing too? She revealed that James Brown and Otis Redding will be heavy on the playlist. She also dished about doing her own stunts in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and being a "bad ass. No wonder she got so in shape for this role. Watch the interview here:
And in music interviews...........
Elle Varner, who's getting a lot of attention for her fashion sense and music, gets very candids and reveals it wasn't that way when she was "larger." During a very revealing interview with the Urban Daily, the "Only Wanna Give It To You" singer reveals she grew up "heavy," was very awkward, wasn't popular and had very low self esteem. She says even her friends were mean to her and she had no social life! Wow. So how did she lose weight? She says she changed her eating habits and she works out a lot. Also.....being a vegan helps! Watch it above or check it out here.  |

| "ATL Housewife" Cynthia Bailey Gets GORGE For DENIM Magazine With Hubby Peter Posted: 23 Dec 2011 07:48 AM PST "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey is gracing the cover of DENIM magazine's MODEL ISSUE. It may have been a minute since the RHOA resident "supermodel"--their words, not mine--graced a cover, but she's looking fab nonetheless.
Check out her cover, her inside pic with hubby Peter Thomas, and what she said about her friendship with NeNe... 44-year-old Cynthia is spending this season of RHOA opening her own modeling company--The Bailey Agency. And she's gotten some tough love from her new husband Peter Thomas as he thinks she doesn't have the true know-how to pull it off. Yet and still, she'll have this to show her "students": Cynthia, who has a pre-teen daughter named Noelle, looked gorgeous in the black & white January 2012 cover. She donned feathers and a black gown for the cover look, and a hot pink gown for inside as she posed with her hubby. Since folks are always have something to say about her and NeNe's friendship on the show, Cynthia had some words about it herself. She tells the mag:
Mmhmm. I'm still side-eyeing Peter & NeNe. Don't know about y'all... Check out the behind-the-scenes video from the shoot. Pretty. Styled by: J.Bolin, CEO/Editor-in-Chief, Photographer: Will Sterling

The Manhattan based fam--sans Papa Swizzy--was all about the playtime as Egypt hit the swings and Prince hit the streets on his bike and scooter. Alicia's looking extra happy these days. Somebody loves their superheroes. Awww. I see the cuteness was rampant. Pics via SPLASH  |

| Tyler The Creator of Odd Future ARRESTED...Acts Crazy In Cuffs Posted: 23 Dec 2011 06:14 AM PST
Tyler The Creator--one of the oddest members of hip-hop group Odd Future--was arrested late last night on vandalism charges. Details and him acting wackier than usual inside..
Tyler The Creator is known for rapping with and making some of the hottest beats for his Odd Future groupmates--including Frank Ocean. And he's always seemed a bit....off. Remember his crazy ass beef with Chris Brown? And now, the 20-year-old has gotten himself arrested...in front of his mama. Yeah, the same woman who he cursed out MTV over on live tv when they had the audacity to not focus their cameras on her during his MTV Award red carpet arrival. TMZ reports that cops were called to the Roxy on Sunset in L.A. after Tyler supposedly damaged some sound equipment. He was arrested on suspicion of vandalism charges and booked around 11:30pm. In the video, you can see him cutting up and yelling at the cops while getting arrested in front his mama: Damn shame...  |
| VIDEO FAB: Rihanna's "You Da One" Vid Posted: 23 Dec 2011 05:16 AM PST You've seen the behind the scenes action for Rihanna's new "You Da One" video. Now here's the real thing... Rih keeps up the raunch factor in her newest visual off her sixth album TALK THAT TALK. In the black and white peep-show inspired vid which was shot in London, Rihanna's showing blondes have just as much fun. She took some inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange, so hopefully she and her director don't get in trouble for swagger jacking again. And congrats are in order for the pop starlet as she gave her 10th (and final) performance of her Loud tour last night at the Greenwich O2 arena. It breaks the record for the most sell-out dates at the venue by a female artist. She was presented with a specially commissioned framed award in recognition of her achievement. Check out the tomboy-goes-sexy inspired vid below:

| BEACH BABE: Gabrielle Union HITS The Beach With The Kiddies Posted: 22 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST  Gabrielle Union was spotted on Miami Beach yesterday with Dwyane Wade's youngest son Zion Wade and Bryce Maximus James, the son of Lebron James and Savannah Brinson. See photos of their beach day inside.... Gabby chilled out with fellow NBA girlfriend Savannah Brinson as her sons and Dwyane's sons had a beach playdate. But it was Gabby that took the boys out into the waves for some fun. Rocking a seriously sexy orange bikini, Gabby hit Miami Beach yesterday for some fun with the boys. While much of the country is bundled up, she's celebrating with man (and his BFF's) kids in a bikini with some warm fun in the sun. How jelly are we right now?
Hottie Gabby will soon grace the big screen with Kevin Hart in Think Like A Man and Tyler Perry's Good Deeds.

Happy birthday to my mother and my twins! Jessie and D’Lila !!!! My babies and my Mama! LoVe!!!” And in the pic above with his baby girl Jessie, he said: "Me (and) one of the birthday girls taking a time out at Disneyland – Jessie Combs!!" Sweet! I wonder if Cassie was there...

And he has twins D'Lilah and Jessie, plus Breezy's ex Jasmine Saunders, all starring in it:
He's funny.  |
| DO WE BELIEVE IT?! Vanessa Bryant CLAIMS Kobe Slept With 105 Women During Their Marriage! Posted: 22 Dec 2011 01:11 PM PST  As deets about the Kobe/Vanessa Bryant divorce are leaked, it's being said that Kobe had at least 105 side chicks during the course of their 10-year marriage. The question is.....do we believe it? Get the deets inside.... In the latest issue of the National Enquirer (now you see why we have our doubts about this story), a source close to the Bryants is spilling intimate deets about the split.
The source added that Kobe had one "close" side boo, whom he was seeing since 2008, who sat court side at games and openly flirted with him. Can you imagine that bold ish? And he was also sexting back and forth with an 18-year-old Laker cheerleader. So armed with all of this, Vanessa confronted Kobe with the evidence collected by her private investigator. Naturally, Kobe tried to win her back with jewelry, cars and other gifts....and we see how that turned out..... So how much longer before these alleged "side chicks" start doing interviews? DO WE BELIEVE IT?! |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2011 10:59 AM PST  "RHOA" Sheree Whitfield stopped by Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" to talk about dating, her "money issues" and why she hasn't gotten child support. Watch the interview inside and find out how her single "Who Gon Check Me Boo"came about.... Sheree Whitfield talked to "The Breakfast Club" this morning to dish on dating, her ex-husband and her money issues. Here are the highlights: On "Who Gon' Check Me Boo": She revealed that proceeds from the single go to charity and said she decided to record it after a producer contacted her on Twitter with a great concept. On dating: She revealed that she is dating but she hasn't found anyone special. On the "disappearing" Aston Martin: After a huge fight with her former attorney, Sheree stopped paying him and he took her car. "My car was seized. That means it was paid in full. My attorney fees are almost $300,000. So, I stopped paying my attorney.” On moving from the McMansion to an apartment: “I’d been renting a place, paying $5,000/month. To me, it makes more sense to downsize and use that money to put into my house that I’m building.” On NeNe Leakes: She said they ARE NOT friends and NeNe's teeth used to be rotten. On ex-husband Bob Whitfield: Talking about Bob, she said, "I’ve never been big on looks. I like how somebody treats me. I like their personality. He was funny.” She added that he still hasn't paid child support and the case is still in court. And around the 4:30 mark, when it comes to Bob and child support, Sheree looks a little "suspicious." It seems like she is holding a secret.....or was really afraid the interview was about to get deep into the child support story. Seems like there is more going on than we know about..... Around 10:02, she dodges the murky issue about her first house, which she and Bob were supposed to sell together. All we learn is that she said there was no profit in the house. Does she owe him money...does he owe her....who knows?
