And....

Erykah Badu, who also moonlights as a doula, released pics of her gorgeous daughters Puma,7, and Mars,3.  She talked about her daughter Puma to BET saying: “She’s always singing and wants to act and model but it has to be something you want to do. It’s a lot of commitment. [I tell my children to] Follow your heart. Don’t let anybody infiltrate your dream, especially you. And be fearless. Give your all every time and feel the success in that.”

And it's not all about the girls....

Lamar Odom Dropped From The Mavs (Temporarily), Sent To The D-League!

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 01:27 PM PST

Some call it the Kardashian curse...some call it just a downward spiral of luck.  Either way, Lamar Odom was just demoted to the D-League from his new Dallas Mavericks home.

 

Deets inside...

After missing some games for "personal family reasons," and admittingly not feeling like himself after getting suddenly traded from his Laker home to the Mavs 3 months ago, Lamar Odom has been sent to play for the Texas Legends. 

What's that you ask? It's the NBA Developmental League team based near Dallas.  ESPN reports he was removed from the Mavs' roster and sent to the D-league to "get his legs back under him."

ESPN reports Lamar will practice with the new team tomorrow (Saturday) and will play in his first game tomorrow night.  He'll also have two private workouts today with Mavs consultant Tim Grgurich.

Lamar has proven to be a great player his 13 years in the game.  So this move comes as a shock to sports fans.

Some reports state that it was Lamar's idea to go play in the D-League for a few games in order to prep himself for a better return to the Mavs.

Either way...his consolation prize?  He gets to keep his $8.9 mill annual salary.  And may just get another season of his reality show with Mrs. Khloe Kardashian Odom called "Khloe & Lamar Take The D-League."

You never know...

Rihanna SINGS Adele's Praises, Takes A Break From Music & Says "Single Life Is Overrated" + Nicki Minaj & Ricky Martin For Viva Glam!

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 01:06 PM PST

Battleship star Rihanna (shown above on the movie's Italian promo) recently sat down with London's "The Jonathan Ross Show" where she sang the praises of Adele and admitted that she thinks "the single life is orrated." Get the deets inside.....

It seems as though Rihanna is ready to move on to a new relationship (and a new career focus) as she was recently quoted talking about how much she hates being single.

On her taped "Jonathan Ross Show" appearance in the UK this week (airing tomorrow), she said,

"Single life is so overrated. It sucks. I have such incredible experiences in my life. You don't want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That's what I'm missing right now."

So what type of man is she into? She said she wants someone who is "...cool, fun, funny."

And Rihanna also stanned for Adele (don't we all?) during the interview.  She said,

"I saw her at the Grammys and I love her.  I'm a big fan. … Her last album, 21, spoke to me so much. It was so personal to her, but I feel like everyone in the world identified with it, to the point that I had to stop listening because it was depressing me so much. If you identify with it, sometimes you don't want to hear about it."

But while she is searching for love, Rih will give music a break focus on her acting and other projects, saying:

'I just want to pick films that are wise for me and roles that I can pull off, nothing that is too big for me."  She added, 'I love doing movies now. It's something I want to do more of."

Rih just flew back to L.A. from London last night.

Catch Battleship when it's released on May 18 in the US!

Ricky Martin and Nicki Minaj were recently unveiled as new faces for MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam worldwide.  Now check out their official promo poster above.

Diddy: I Didn't Win An Oscar For "Undefeated"...Only The Directors & Producers Did

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 12:28 PM PST

Diddy hit up "The Today Show" this morning to talk about his new Revolt network...and to clarify that Oscar win from this past Sunday night.  Hear what he had to say inside...

Sean "Diddy" Combs hit the "Today Show" couch this AM to chat with Al Roker and co. about his movie Undefeated's Best Documentary Oscar win.  While folks were tweeting up a storm Sunday night that "Diddy won an Oscar"....and Mr. Combs didn't necessarily say it was incorrect at that time, he's clearing things up now.

Sean told the hosts that only the producers/director--Rich Middlemas, TJ Martin and Dan Lindsay--receive Oscars.  Since Diddy served in an Executive Producer role who wasn't hands on with the making of the film, he doesn't.  He called himself the Martin Scorsese Jr. of the film.

He does, however, support and promote the film everywhere he goes.  And is extremely excited for the producers.

Undefeated opens in major cities across the U.S. today.
