Rihanna Flips Off The Paparazzi, Parties With Evelyn Loazada

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 09:56 AM PDT

Rihanna was spotted jetting out of her fave restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles last night. And decided to flip off the paparazzi in the meantime. Somebody's no longer loving all the flashing lights and attention these days? Interesting.

Pics inside of her partying with "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada, plus the reviews of her Battleship movie are in....

Stepping out in black thigh highs and a yellow and black print dress with black and red heels, Rihanna made her way from the dinner table to the car looking anything but pleased to see the awaiting paparazzi.

So what's a pop star to do? Speak with her middle fingers. Why so pissy Rih Rih? Maybe it's because her movie Battleship opened in the UK this week to SCATHING reviews. Check out what Daily Mail had to say about it here.

But the night wasn't fully a bust. Rih was spotted out partying with her admitted girl crush Evelyn Lozada (and the feeling is mutual based on Ev's Twitter timeline), Ev's daughter Shaniece & Sean Kingston:

I see the bottles of champagne were in full effect...

The Carters Cheer On Jay-Z's Artist Rita Ora At Cartier Party

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 09:04 AM PDT

The Carters shared some quality time last night as they chilled out at Skylight Studios for the Cartier Juste un Clou after-party. Jay-Z's Roc Nation artist, Rita Ora, performed for the night. And, of course, his wife Beyonce came along too.

Pics and video inside...

Rocking the same salmon sweater from earlier in the day when she was out and about with Blue, Beyonce made her way out on the scene to support her hubby's artist.

"Party & Bullshit" singer Rita Ora hit the stage for the Cartier event. And recently appeared in a video for VEVO where it followed her & her band's creation of the acoustic version of one of her fave songs:

Nice voice. Even though all these chicks look alike these days...

Sean Kingston & Evelyn Lozada's Daughter Shaniece Wine & Dine Together At Katsuya + Evelyn Mixes Up Her "Non MuthaFu*kin Factor" Milkshakes

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 08:20 AM PDT

Looks like "Basketball Wife" Evelyn Lozada is passing down her milkshake skills on how to bring the boys to the yard. Because her daughter Shaniece was spotted out wining & dining with singer Sean Kingston last night in L.A. He def has a type doesn't he?

Pics inside, plus Evelyn mixing up her very own Million of Milkshakes concoction...

22-year-old "Beautiful Girls" singer Sean Kingston looks like he's really moved on from stripper Maliah...to Evelyn's gorgeous 18-year-old daughter Shaniece Hairston. Outside of Katsuya in L.A. last night, the two were spotted leaving dinner together, and Sean wasted no time tweeting about their date:

Sean tweeted the above pic of the two cuddled up over his cell phone and said, "Me and the beautiful @shanieceh at Katsuya living."

But since her mama Evelyn (and some other friends) was right there as well, not sure how much of a "date" this actually was:

But you never know....

Earlier in the evening, Eve stopped by Millions of Milkshakes to mix up her very own signature concoction:

Rocking a headpiece, pink blouse and matching pink sparkling Louboutins with a blue blazer, Evelyn whipped out her "Non Muthafu*kin Factor" milkshakes.

That ought to be....interesting. Eve, Shaniece & Sean Kingston later partied it up with Evelyn's favorite girl, Rihanna.

But Evelyn still found time, in the midst of a long night, to throw shade at frenemy Jennifer Williams. When one of her followers tweeted her a pic of Jen, who they had just spotted, in her "lame ass car," Evelyn responded with, "In her 2006 Bentley."

Ouch...

SPOTTED: Gabrielle Unions TAPES "EXTRA!" At The Grove

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 07:44 AM PDT

Think Like A Man actress Gabrielle Union was spotted at The Grove yesterday having some fun in an interview with Mario Lopez for the show EXTRA. See the pics inside...

Gabby Union made her way to The Grove to promote her latest flick, Think Like a Man. The gorgeous gal rocked jeans and a coral blazer over a white tee and green & blue shoes.

She recently said she enjoyed the cast and working with friend Regina Hall. "When you have intimate knowledge of people, especially the awful relationship stuff, it tends to lend itself to humor. Regina Hall and I have been friends for a long time. She was around for my marriage folly, which is the nicest way I can describe some of my marriage [to ex-NFL player Chris Howard]. She's got a lot to joke about with me."

When asked about her experience with divorce, she told ESSENCE, "I think after divorce I've learned 1,001 lessons .You just have to be very clear about what you want and what you need. More than anything, my rule is to be incredibly honest."

Good advice.

Watch behind the scenes of her taping here:

Jennifer Hudson & Ne-Yo ROCK "Think Like A Man" On "American Idol"

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 07:05 AM PDT

Jennifer Hudson & Ne-Yo stopped by "American Idol" last night to perform "Think Like A Man." Watch the clip inside.....

"American Idol" alum Jennifer Hudson returned to the show last night to perform "Think Like A Man" with Ne-Yo. The song is off the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Think Like A Man. Jennifer tweeted earlier this week that Rick Ross--who is also on the track--was supposed to be performing as well. But unconfirmed rumors yesterday said that he suffered a third seizure and has now been banned from flying for his health's sake. We wonder if that's why he missed last night's performance.

Watch the performance here:

EXTRAS:

Last week, Newark Mayor Cory Booker ran into a burning building, next door to his home, to save a neighbor's life.

After seeing his next-door neighbor's house on fire, he ran inside and rescued a young woman trapped upstairs.

He said, "It is a very, very scary thing. And I'd like to say that I, at that point I was feeling so courageous, but honestly, it was terrifying, and to look back, you can see nothing but flames. Look in front of you see nothing but blackness. Thankfully she started yelling out to me and I was able to find her through all the smoke. At that point I grabbed her. I just sort of threw her over my shoulder and dragged her through the kitchen. I was hoping there was going to be a window on the front, It was on the second story, I thought we could potentially get out, but that's when I had a lot of clear thoughts about, 'How we're going to get out?' "I couldn't see anything but the flames coming out of the kitchen and I really had this moment where I thought, 'Okay. I think I'm trapped. I think we can't get out.'"

But he rushed through the flames and added, "Detective Rodriguez grabbed her as well and we got down the stairs and we both just collapsed outside the building."

Not gonna lie. He just got real sexy....

BACK TO BUSINESS: Beyonce & Blue Ivy Get Back To Work In NYC

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 04:27 PM PDT

Fresh off their St. Barts vacay, Beyonce Knowles and 3-month old daughter Blue Ivy made their way back to work in Manhattan today. Pics of the bundled up twosome inside...

In a geometric blanket to keep Blue completely covered as usual, a tanned Beyonce & her daughter dashed from their limo-bus into a Manhattan building this afternoon.

And Julius was having no parts of the paparazzi today:

Bey kept it cute and chic in rolled up nude skinny pants and green/grey/black pumps and a matching nude sweater.

And Bey's back to saluting her bundle of joy with her electric blue nails.

FEISTY GALS: Kenya Bell SAYS "I Didn’t Want To Hurt Evelyn On National TV” + Rihanna Gets Testy When Asked About Love Life...AGAIN

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 02:26 PM PDT

Feisty chicks Kenya Bell and Rihanna are kicking a$$ and taking names....in interviews at least. Kenya is talking trash about Evelyn Lozada in a new interview where she reveals she COULD HAVE hurt Evelyn....but did her a favor by not responding to the bottle action.

Meanwhile, Rihanna shot down yet another reporter's interview after she was asked about her love life. Deets inside....

In a new interview with "Juicy" Magazine, Kenya Bell reveals that she's a bad ass chick from Detroit and could have easily opened up a can on Evelyn Lozada......but she didn't want to hurt her! Check out the highlights of Kenya on Evelyn, Kesha, Tami & her estranged husband:

Juicy: What was going through your mind when EVELYN threw that bottle at you during dinner?

KB: I've been professionally trained to fight thanks to my Dad. I have no fear of any of them and all of their bullying, negativity, and pure haterism. It's sad that as women, they aren't supporting my efforts to be independent as a woman and a mother, especially after I spent years helping my husband make it to the NBA and he's chosen to ruin his life. [The cast] can talk all they want, as long as neither of them put their hands on me, they have nothing to fear.

Juicy: Speaking of your husband, what was the plastic surgery claims about?

KB: He's decided to try and ruin my life by telling lies to the media about plastic surgery, etc. in attempt to ruin any possibility of me having a career. It seems that the women of basketball wives would be on my side seeing what I'm going through.

Juicy: What made you invite Keisha to your video screening after she threw you under the bus?

KB: Actually that's the result of editing. My video screening happened BEFORE the bottle throwing incident. I haven't seen Keisha since she started the fight between Evelyn and I.

Juicy: You seemed to be taking the girls' criticism very lightly at the screening...

KB: I'm a very cultured individual. I've worked in corporate America and shook hands with the President. I know the difference between what's good and what isn't, so when someone tells me something is horrible and I know it's not, it's laughable to me.

Juicy: The girls seem to think you're jacking they're style. What's your response?

KB: In response to me "jacking" their style......I've been me since birth, and although I'm younger than most of them (oh wait I forgot, I'm 40 according to them!), ask those who know me the best, I haven't changed.

Juicy: To set the record straight, when it comes to JEN do you adore her the way the girls claim?

KB: Jen has been the only person in the group that has been consistently nice to me and I appreciate that. Because of that, I consider her someone that I can become friends with. It's soooo sad that they have a "mob" mentality and because Jen refuses to "join the crowd" and hate me like they have decided to do before they even got to know me, all of a sudden they say I idolize her. It's their way of trying to make Jen not like me. I'm so proud of Jen for being an individual.

Juicy: What are your current thoughts on TAMI?

KB: I'm very surprised to see the footage of Tami talking bad about me behind my back. I still feel that she has a good heart, that's why she stepped in between Evelyn and I. Because of the supposed "stabbing" that my husband accused me of, I really didn't want to have to hurt Evelyn on national television, so I appreciated that. But as a fellow mother of two, it's very disappointing that she was so mean and hurtful knowing she went through the same things I'm going through on the show.

Hmmm......messy.

In other feisty interviews.............

Rihanna showed her attitude in Australia as she promotes Battleship. We know she doesn't like to be asked about her love life...but a reporter STILL tried it. This time, Rihanna ends the interview (at 3:15...though a walk-out isn't shown, the news reporter says Rihanna abruptly ended it).

*Kevin Hart voice* You gone learn today....

NeNe Leakes And Greg Leakes Are OFFICIALLY DIVORCED!

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 12:34 PM PDT

While folks have speculated that the divorce of NeNe and Greg Leakes was a "sham" storyline to boost "RHOA" ratings, it turns out that it was the real deal. Get the deets on their divorce inside...

For years now, fans have thought NeNe Leakes was faking the funk about leaving Greg, but she did! She just didn't want YOU to know about it.

It turns out that NeNe actually filed for divorce in Forsyth County on April 29, 2010, during season 3, and finalized the divorce September 29, 2011, after season 4 had wrapped. So she was keeping mum about whether or not she had actually divoced Greg likely to keep up the chatter about her personal life.

The former couple married in 1997 in Athens, GA and have one son together, Brentt, and NeNe’s older son Bryce from a previous relationship.

I'm sure the divorce will be put on blast at some point during the explosive three-part reunion which starts on Sunday.

Hmmm....I wonder if Greg asked for spousal support.
