| VIDEO FAB: 50 Cent's "They Burned Me" Posted: 27 Dec 2011 08:40 AM PST  Rapper 50 Cent gets quite personal in his video for "They Burned Me" which doubles as a metaphor for his relationship with his baby mama. Watch the video inside and see Will.I.Am sit down with Steve Stoute to discuss his music career and tanning the 2008 election............ In a video that really lets fans into his life, the "They Burned Me" clip covers the fire that destroyed 50 Cent's Long Island home, his relationship with his son and the fallout from breaking up with his son's mother. On the track he raps,
So what made him make a video so personal? The rapper said on twitter,
Watch the full video here:
And in the last installment of Steve Stoute's The Tanning Effect series.... Will.i.am opened up to Steve Stoute about the role he played in helping President Obama's 2008 election campaign. The artist's "Yes We Can" video featuring all of his celebritiy friends, along with words from one of President Obama's uplifting"Yes We Can" speechs, went viral during the 2008 campaign and helped him become a youtube sensation. And the rest is political history. Watch the clip above....  |
| SPEAK ON IT: "New" Model Chick Erica Mena THROWS DOWN With Kimbella On "Love & Hip Hop" Posted: 27 Dec 2011 07:25 AM PST  Last night on "Love & Hip Hop"...drinks were tossed (again), extensions were pulled (again), faces were slashed (again) and "b!tch" was a noun, an adjective and a verb (as usual)! Watch the full episode inside and see Kimbella get into ANOTHER her hair-pulling fight, but this time it's with newbie Erica Mena.
VH1's other guilty-pleasure, "Love & Hip Hop", was packed with punches last night....literally. Juelz Santana's baby momma and "booty" model Kimbella caught ANOTHER beat down...but this time it was from newcomer Erica Mena. Erica, whose baby daddy is Raul from Terror Squad, thinks of herself as a "real" model and video chick. Why? Because she started doing videos at 16 (she's now 24) back when video chicks had "credibility." Her words, not mine. She's also done fashion and NY Fashion Week (and not to mention appeared on one of the Kardashian realty shows as a DASH empolyee who got fired for her unprofessionalism). And doesn't just find new ways to toot her booty up in pics--like she says Kimbella does. She expressed her resentment towards "booty" models like Kimbella saying thirsty chicks like them mess up everyone's money because they often times do videos and stuff for free. (Sidenote: While I do feel like this is a pigeon fighting with a duck--they're both birds--I know exactly where Erica is coming from and why I always say thirst kills. Kills ANY game.) Erica claims the modeling game is diluted because of their thirst, so she took it out on Kimbella's face and hairline. Once Erica saw the slash on her own face, the cops were called.
Watch the fight scene here:
Watch the full episode here: Was Erica right for f'in up Kimbella's face and yanking her weave in a throwdown since Kim threw the first glass? Or was Erica wrong for popping off as soon as she even met Kim? Is Erica just an opportunist? Speak on it... BONUS: If you're wondering where cast member Somaya Reece has been lately, she says she doesn't know what's up with her being nixed from the last two episodes. In an interview yesterday, Somaya revealed:
Oh wells...  |
| CHRISTMAS DELIVERY! Essence Atkins WELCOMES Her NEW BABY BOY! Posted: 27 Dec 2011 06:51 AM PST Actress Essence Atkins kept to her originally slated Christmas due date and gave birth to a bouncing bundle of joy this past Sunday. Deets on the new mom and expanding family inside... The 39-year-old "Are We There Yet?" sitcom actress had the best Christmas present ever. She and her husband of 2 years, Jamie Mendez, welcomed their new baby boy named Varro into the world on Christmas Day. She tweeted just minutes ago after changing her tagline to "Pursuing Happiness":

| Posted: 27 Dec 2011 06:30 AM PST  Remember that "reunion" pic of the cast of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air"? There's a really good reason the "original" Aunt Viv wasn't in the pic...she (still) thinks Will Smith is an ego maniac AND a$$hole. Get the deets inside.... Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Vivian on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," before she was replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid, was fired from the show over 15 years ago. And she is STILL BITTER about. And let's just say, when Will Smith's name comes up, Janet uses words like big ego, maniac, and a$$hole. Oh.....and she says he has a "need" to have his butt-kissed by his minions. TMZ reports that she recently told an interviewer,
Janet, who blames Will for the way she was fired from the show, has discussed this issue before on TVOne's "Life After" AND her own memoir Perfection Is Not A Sitcom Mom. When asked about the situation, Will spoke about Janet's feelings for him saying,
Think it's about that time to just let it go Aunt Viv....  |
| John Legend POPPED The Question...He & Christine Teigen Are ENGAGED! Posted: 27 Dec 2011 05:38 AM PST Over the Holidays, John Legend took his girlfriend of over 3 years to the islands. And he popped the question. Deets on John and Chrissy Teigen's engagement inside...
In a not so surprising move, 32-year-old (he turns 33 tomorrow) "Green Light" singer John Legend proposed to his gorgeous 26-year-old model girlfriend Christine (Chrissy) Teigen. His rep confirmed to People saying: "John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives." Nice. The two exchanged tweets today saying:
Ever since Chrissy's been with John, her model star has risen a bit--from doing catalog work to now appearing in Diddy's brand new Rat Pack inspired Ciroc ad and being named a 2012 Sports Illustrated calendar girl. And chick is on every red carpet imaginable. Somebody knows how to play the game... The newly engaged twosome will be in Vegas this weekend to ring in the new year as Mr. Legend is slated to perform at The Pearl at The Palms. John has a new collabo album with his label G.O.O.D. Music hitting shelves in 2012. And check out Chrissy getting cheeky in her Esquire magazine feature here.  |
