Kelly Rowland, Chris Brown & More Hit SUPAFEST In Australia + Frank Ocean Kicks off COACHELLA

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 09:47 AM PDT

One of Australia's biggest 2-weekend music festivals, Supafest, held in 4 of its major cities kicked off today.  Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Trey Songz & more kicked off the fest today in Brisbane at the RNA Showgrounds.

 

Pics and video inside, plus Frank Ocean holding it down at Coachella's opening day...

On the bill in Brisbane today (and tomorrow in Sydney) is Kelly Rowland (pictured above performing today), Trey Songz, Chris Brown, T-Pain, Naughty By Nature, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Big Sean & Ice Cube.  Rick Ross was also on the line-up, but ticket holders were sent a text message yesterday saying he "failed" to enter Australia and his performances have been cancelled.

Supafest's PR company said:

“Rick Ross has been paid in full and contracted, but failed to show up in Brisbane this morning with no reason from management and no official cancellation or word from his management. The promoter has been calling them all morning trying to find out why and to see if he will get on the plane for the final two shows.”

And Ricky was surely spotted courtside at the Miami Heat game last night with Swizz Beatz.  Maybe there's truth to those third seizure rumors afterall.

After some drama with the promoters and contracts, Missy Elliot & Diddy's performances have been cancelled.

Chris Brown & Trey were also spotted hitting the stage to perform.

 

Check out video of the celebrity arrivals at the airport with a group of stan-girls losing their minds:

Ha!

 

Odd Future's crooner Frank Ocean kicked off the opening day of Coachella out in Cali. The New Orleans native took the stage around 8:30p in the Gobi Tent, and even brought his bro Tyler The Creator out for "Analog 2" (14 minute mark below).

Mr. Ocean had a 6 piece band to help him perform his crowd fave tracks like "Novacane (28:50 mark)," "Thinking About Forever (3:25 mark)," "Swim Good" and more. Check out his full 37-minute set below:

Fab.  Bey recently supported her man as he watched his artist, Rita Ora, perform at the Cartier party at Skylight Soho.  Us Weekly sources on the scene reported that the twosome were every bit the cute couple:

"Beyonce was doing a little dance" to avoid being seen, the observer tells Us, adding that the singer's hubby "smoked a cigar" in their private section. "They were very sweet together . . . They seemed to really have fun!"

Another reveler says that the fresh-faced singer appeared more stunning -- and slimmer -- than ever. "She had on no make up, or very little," the observer said. "She looks unbelievable. She seems to be about a size 6 now.”

Alrighty then...

Posted: 14 Apr 2012 07:05 AM PDT

Unfortunately, yet another member of the DeBarge family has been arrested for drug possession.  Get the deets on Mark's arrest inside.....

On Wednesday morning, according to TMZ, LA cops showed up to a hotel room in Hollywood occupied by Mark DeBarge and an unidentified woman. Because the woman was due for a visit from her parole officer, the cops had license to just drop by...and they did.

When they got to the room, they found Mark and the woman with a few unnamed narcotics.  Both were placed under arrest and Mark was booked for narcotics possession.  He has been released since then.

So sad to see talent wasted.....those DeBarges could SING!

 

Yandy Smith REVEALS Nude Baby Bump Pics + Emily B GIVES Her Mom The "Amber Rose" Look

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 02:10 PM PDT

 

A very pregnant Yandy Smith recently revealed her pregnant belly, and now she's showing it nude and also dished on her new projects including a move with Tami Roman.  Get the deets inside and see pics of Emily B's mom "made over" Amber Rose style.

Wonder who that other pair of hands belongs to.....

Yandy Smith recently posted an interview she did with her jewelry/magazine company Everything Girls Love where she dishes on the movie she signed on to produce (which stars Tami Roman) and her reality tv work.  She said her company produces "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" but that she is not involved with the cast as this is her break from reality tv.  

She then talked about landing her gig with Black Enterprise and how she hopes to turn that into a full time job.  Here are the highlights:

On her new film (with Tami Roman):

I'm producing a movie called Life Love Soul which is directed by Noel Calloway.    We've been running around crazy promoting the film.  For an independent film to have such a major release, that's really big.

On "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta":

Right now they're shooting Atlanta; which I hear is very good.  Our company produces it, but as far as the cast and everything, I'm not involved at all.  This is my break from reality TV, which I needed.

 

 

 

 

At the movies,

 

 

The poster for Yandy's film (which opens today) is shown above.

 

Also in television news.....

Reality star Emily B recently gave her mom a make over.  She tweeted,  “Everyone meet my beautiful Mami Diane…she said her new name is ‘Emerald Lily’”.”  And guess who she looks like.........

Yep...this is really Emily B's mom.  She revealed in season 2 that her mother is living with Stage 2 cancer.  So this was a way to lift her spirits to match her new look.  Sweet!

In Non-YBF News:

1.  Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt just confirmed (via Brad's manager) they are ENGAGED!  'Bout damn time.... STORY

 

MORE TROUBLE IN PARADISE? Taj & Eddie George Put Their Mansion On The Market

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 01:20 PM PDT

After Eddie George got caught during a DUI arrest with that blonde professional golfer, Rachel Conner, last month, SWV member Taj George hasn't even mentioned her husband's name.  Even though they previously exchanged Tweets often and would hit up events together, none of that has occured since that DUI.  And now, the couple just put their Bretwood, TN mansion on the market.

 

Deets inside...

Uh oh.  Even though Eddie George put out a statement following his arrest that nothing happened with him and Rachel Connor (he was suspiciously caught in the passenger seat of Rachel's car after she got pulled over for a DUI in Orlando), we still haven't heard a word from Taj about the matter.  But the fact she hasn't even spoken his name or done any interviews about their new relationship book speaks volumes.

Now, public records show that Taj & Eddie have put their beautiful Brentwood, TN custom mansion, which they've owned since 2007, on the market.  Does this mean a possible split is on the horizon?

The former Tennessee Titan and R&B singer, who have 2 sons together, seem to be trying to get rid of their almost 9,000 sqft 5 BR/6 Bathroom home quickly...listing it at a relatively low price of $1.099 million.

So what all comes with this home? Realtor.com reports:

The stone-lined, three-story home offers 8,558-square-feet of living space and features a total of five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The interior boasts hardwood flooring, vaulted ceilings and detailed molding, while a chef’s kitchen and study are lined with custom built-ins, cabinetry and other wood-lined touches. George’s home has two stairways, one in front and one in back of the property, and also an elevator that runs from the basement area to the attic. Other fine amenities befitting a star running back include a media room, rec room with a wet bar, a pair of laundry rooms and a pool. And let’s not forget the obligatory Ohio State room, complete with a scarlet and gray paint job and a giant Fathead wall graphic featuring the pride of Columbus, Brutus Buckeye.
 

More pics:

Meanwhile, Taj is busy on tour with her SWV groupmates and prepping to drop their new album I Missed Us (now releasing April 17th).

FOOLYWANG MATERIAL: Man BREAKS Into Diddy's Home AND Eats, Sleeps And Drinks His Ciroc....For The Second Time!

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 10:41 AM PDT

 

A man with mental issues broke into the East Hampton home of Diddy recently.  He was convinced that Diddy wouldn't mind if he crashed there so he made himself at home by eating the food, drinking the drink and wearing his clothes!  Deets inside....

  

Although Diddy constantly invites his fans to live the Ciroc lifestyle, one special fan took him up on that offer by breaking into Mr. Combs' East Hampton mansion and living the fab life for a few hours!

In a weird case, a man by the name of Quamine Taylor, 30, of Jamaica, Queens, is seriously convinced that he and Diddy are "cool."  So cool, that Diddy doesn't mind letting him crash at the mansion.  At least that's what he told police.

Quamine, who pulled the SAME STUNT ten years ago, said,  

“I’ve actually been going to the house from time to time since 2001. I stay there a lot, but Sean gets funny sometimes about me staying there,” he said from Suffolk County jail.

His mom added this claim,

“He grew up listening to [Diddy’s] music.  He has a long history of mental illness, and he has been off his meds for a while. We have been trying to get him some help.”

So how did this happen? Simple.  Quamine took a cab to Diddy's crib from the train station and managed to sneak around security and find an open basement door.  From there, he lived the Ciroc life.  

He rocked Diddy's clothes, ate his food and hit the liquor supply.  And when he tripped an alarm, he convinced security that he was Diddy's "friend" and was allowed to be there!

He was busted after a restful night when a caretaker found him.  He said,

“I got a good night’s sleep, but it’s not anything too special.  It’s just like a three bedroom.”

Yes indeed.  Dude was arraigned on trespassing and petit-larceny raps and is being held in lieu of $2,000 bail. 

Jada Pinkett Smith DENIES Martial Woes, Says "Will And I Know The Truth"

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 10:22 AM PDT

 

Jada Pinkett Smith has responded to rumors about marital woes with hubby Will Smith. Hear what she said about the status of her marriage inside....

 

Over the past few months, the Smiths have been rumored to be on the outs, but actress Jada Pinkett Smith flat out denies it all.

She told French magazine Gala recently abou why these rumors won't go away: "I have no idea! Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it's us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it.  Will and I know the truth. We're waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over."

And for folks who think the couple is living separate lives, she said,

"These rumors are completely untrue.  I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does. ... But our lifestyle hasn't changed. Before we had the kids, we were already far away from each other quite often because of separate projects."

But do they still live together?  The answer is yes.  She added, "We've always lived together."

So....there you have it.  Right?
