EXCLUSIVE PICS: Inside RHOA's Marlo Hampton's POSH Birthday Dinner

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 08:18 AM PST

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" co-star Marlo Hampton celebrated her birthday in the ATL with a posh dinner party over the weekend.  We've got the exclusive pics inside...

Chick may be certifiable on many-a-levels, but Marlo loves a posh party doesn't she?  And she's looking great.  The newest fashion loving friend of the ATL Housewives was in Europe last month for her actual birthday.  So Saturday night, her good friend, interior designer Michel Boyd, hosted a fete in her honor at his luxe home.

The sequined pants and SEX Louboutin pump wearing chick kicked it with her host Michel (above) and with friends like Lawrence Washington.

Looks like her sponsor hooked her up for her b-day with a fabulous all black and silver look for her big night.  Her bestie NeNe must have been busy with work because we can't imagine why she would miss this otherwise.  Marlo told Uptown magazine recently about her controversial friendship with Ms. Leakes saying "Team Smalls" was trying too hard to keep her away from NeNe:

I am only really close with NeNe, and I am cool with Cynthia. We don’t talk outside of NeNe. There are no hard feelings. At the end of the day, I don’t know them. I am going to kill them with kindness. In the beginning, I was hanging with the other girls and they were talking about NeNe so much. Me being Marlo, I think it is crazy how these women, excluding Cynthia, were talking about that one person. I said I was going to meet her myself. After I met NeNe we hit it off. We made some unhappy campers. They were praying that it didn’t work. We are both real and confident. When I am with NeNe, I have a great time. Whatever is on her mind she is going to tell me. NeNe has been honest and a friend to me. It was nothing like what I heard.

Marlo copped gifts from her friends and the dinner party enjoyed a gourmet dinner:

And the champagne filled decor:

Well isn't that special.  Happy birthday Marlo!

But it was her look later on in the evening that was a bit more revealing:

 


 

She rocked hot pink pants and a colorful open jacket with nothing underneath to her dinner party.  She tweeted:

NAMING NAMES: Pilar Sanders ACCUSES Deion Of CHEATING With Tracey Edmonds!

Posted: 05 Mar 2012 11:27 AM PST

As if it couldn't get any nastier, Pilar just took her divorce from Deion Sanders up a notch by naming the names of alleged mistresses....including Babyface's ex-wife Tracey Edmonds! Deets inside...........

Down in Texas, Pilar Sanders has filed a motion demanding sanctions against Deion for tampering with witnesses.  So....what does she think Deion did? She believes Deion was a cheating man so she wants to call his "mistresses" into the proceedings to get the dirty deets. Sounds like Pilar should star in the new version of "Dallas" hitting TNT soon.

But the only problem is, now she thinks Deion is paying the chicks to be quiet.  One chick named in the case is 20-year-old model Aleea Stanton.

But it gets better......

As Pilar asks the court for sanctions against Deion for intentional destruction of evidence and corruption, one of the alleged mistresses she wants on the stand is Tracey Edmonds!

But Tracey was shocked that her name came up.  She told TMZ, 

"I am shocked to learn that Pilar Sanders is trying to drag me and my employees through her pre-nuptual dispute. I cannot understand why she continues to create public issues out of her private life issues and feel very sorry for their children."

Well damn.

Tracey added, "For the record, Deion Sanders and I first met at the top of this year, after he filed for divorce, when he and his partner reached out to me to produce a project of his."

This is just getting ridic....

Maia Campbell Readies COMEBACK & Discusses "Make Em Say" Single + Brandy HONORS Whitney Houston With Album Title

Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:48 AM PST

Maia Campbell seems to be doing very well these days and even has a few new projects coming up. Watch the former actress, who has battled drug addiction and bipolar disease, talk about her "Make Em Say" single and other projects inside.  And find out how Brandy's new album title will honor Whitney Houston....

Maia Campbell is back! She recently shot an interview with Get Noticed Media where she dished on her upcoming projects like her "Make Em Say" single (available on iTunes).

She also added that she wants to write a book about her life called ‘Sagittarius’ and work with Tyler Perry on a film based on her mother Bebe Moore Campbell’s book ’72 Hour Hold.’

She added,

‘I know the last time everyone saw me, I was way out there on the other stretch of the road. I got myself together, I’ve been sober for two years and I’ve been stable and very [aware] of how this industry works. I’ve been in this industry since I was a little girl so I’m a professional. I am very able to jump back into these waters and swim deep and get it in. So let’s get it poppin.’

Watch the interview here:

 

Also in music....

Brandy has announced the title of her sixth studio album, Two Eleven, (due in June). And Two Eleven represents not only Brandy's birthday, but the day her idol Whitney Houston died.  

Although Brandy may honor Whitney with her album title, she's still not ready to sing any Whitney songs.

She told the L.A. audience during a performance this weekend at The Factory:

"I heard there was a rumor that I was doing a Whitney Houston tribute tonight -- unfortunately that's not true, because I would be an emotional wreck right now.  I'm just not ready to sing any of her songs. You guys know what that's like."

About the album's sound, she told Rolling Stone Magazine:

"I haven't done R&B in a very long time. This album is rooted in R&B. The sound is different, it's about love. It's mature, it's gritty, it's edgy."

Fab!  Will you be buying it?

Nick Cannon Reveals His Rare Form Of Lupus On "GMA"

Posted: 05 Mar 2012 10:11 AM PST

Nick Cannon opened up for the first time publicly this morning on "Good Morning America" regarding his surprising new diagnosis.  Deets inside on his rare form of Lupus...

Talking to Robin Roberts today on "GMA," rapper/comedian/"American's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon revealed he has "a rare form of lupus that's just attacking [his] kidneys."

The surprising news comes after a long stint in Aspen & L.A. hospitals during the Christmas Holidays where doctors first thought Nick had a kidney disease and was severly dehydrated.

"They thought it was just kidney disease and then they were trying to figure out why my immune system was attacking my kidneys and that was sort of the root of it all. I scared a lot of people. I scared myself."

So the dad to twins Moroccan & Monroe quit his radio show last month and is taking it a bit easier.  And Mrs. Cannon is indeed doting on her hubby:

"I have been ordered to sleep at least six hours a night. They say rest is probably the best medicine. I'm dealing with it. Of course I'm not used to the medicines, but I feel like I'm starting to figure out a lot of holistic ways, meditation and stuff to get through it."

"[Mariah] made me an egg-white sandwich before I left the house this morning.  She takes care of me, makes sure I'm eating what I'm supposed to be."

"I have to be around for my children.  They're my motivation for the whole thing."

Awww.  While the news of his rare disease is surprising, scary, and sad, it's good to see his positive attitude.

FAMILY DRAMA: Mel B's Sister Airs DIRTY LAUNDRY On Twitter, Worried About Mel's Mental State?!

Posted: 05 Mar 2012 09:11 AM PST

Danielle Brown, the estranged sister of Mel B. has taken to Twitter to air a lot of family drama (again) insisting the family hates her hubby and that Mel has a fragile mental state.  And she thinks Mel's kids are in DANGER.  See the tweets inside.....

Danielle Brown (shown above with Mel B in 2000), who hasn't spoken to her sister in three years, has taken to Twitter to air their family issues. 

It seems as though Mel B cut off the family after marrying Stephen (whom according to Danielle, no one likes).  Now, it seems as though the sisters ONLY communicate through Twitter.  This same drama happened a couple of years ago as well when reports surfaced that Stephen and Mel had a rocky relationship and Stephen spoke out against Mel during their initial split.  The two were quickly back together.

This weekend, Mel & Danielle "allegedly" had a nasty Twitter exchange (Mel B's tweets have been deleted) about a few issues, but Mel insists all isn't what it seems.  She says her account was hacked and that Danielle had a fight with a hacker!

Danielle agrees....except she thinks the hacker was Mel's husband Stephen!

Now Danielle is sounding the alarm that Mel has a fragile mental state and needs to be away from Stephen.  She tweeted, "Enough is Enough we need a PRIVATE family meeting.you me mum and dad No Film crew no cameras and NO STEPHEN,R THE KIDS SAFE?"

This may or may not be called for.....sigh.

Here's the first exchange....

And the second......

This is ugly.  What's REALLY going on with Mel B. & her hubby and fam...
