Meagan Good: My Fiancé & I Have NOT Gotten It In...Yet!

Posted: 24 May 2012 09:53 AM PDT

Now that actress Meagan Good--who is well known for playing every vixen film role known to man--is marrying a minister, she wants the world to know that she and her fiance, DeVon Franklin, haven't had sex yet.  The two have remained celibate for a year...because they're saving it for their wedding day.

 

Deets inside...

Even though her name is synonymous with sexy video vixen film roles, industry insiders tell us Meagan has always been a "religious good girl" in real life.  So it may not (or may) come as a surprise that she decided to become a born again virgin (we don't know for a fact she sexed up a former lover before--but we're rolling with the safe assumption she's not a complete virgin).

The 30-year-old Think Like A Man & "Californication" actress told Life & Style: "Our wedding night will be the first time we're actually together."

Now that she's set to become a first lady of the church of Seventh Day Adventists...she's gotta put that best holy foot forward.

As for how she knew DeVon, whose day job as a SONY film exec led him to meeting Meagan on the set of Jumping The Broom, was the one:

"Because he was willing to be celibate with me for a year.  He loves God, more than I love God, so I don't think there's anything wrong [with him]."

The gorgeous Meagan didn't give their wedding date, but she did reveal the plans for her big Malibu nuptials:

"We found the venue, which I'm really excited about, and it's going to be in Malibu.  I know I want to go for a bayou-themed kind of Spanish mosque, a very enchanted-y Twilight feel."

Sounds beautiful!

WHAT'S BEEF: Lil' Wayne TWEETS "Fuk Pusha T" In Response To "Exodus 23:1" DISS

Posted: 24 May 2012 09:16 AM PDT

Lil' Wayne doesn't take too kindly to folks dissing YMCMB so the captain of the crew recently lashed out against Pusha T for dissing Drake on his "Exodus 23:1." Find out what Pusha T said that set Weezy off inside......

G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T has set off a firestorm in the hip hop community with his harsh words that take aim against Drake.  In his controversial song “Exodus 23:1,” that was produced by The Dream, he raps, 

“Beef is when you hide behind them other ni**as/ But they ain’t killas, they ain’t pulling them triggas/ Fuck ni**as.” 

He continues, “Contract all fucked up/ I guess that means you all fucked up/ You signed to one ni**a, that’s signed to another ni**a, that’s signed to three ni**as/ Now that’s bad luck/ Damn that shit even the odds now/ You better off selling this hard now/ You call it living out your dreams/ You can’t fly without your wings.”

So how did Weezy respond?

 

Sigh.....did Weezy have to attack the fans too?  This isn't the first YMCMB/G.O.O.D. Music beef as Drake and Common recently went at it too.  Maybe Pusha's just living by the very Motto YMCMB lives. 

 

In case you missed it, here's "Exodus 23:1"

 

Yolo.

Tameka Raymond SPEAKS OUT About Drama Filled Custody Battle, Says Usher Is Manipulating The Media

Posted: 23 May 2012 03:21 PM PDT

Tameka Raymond is PISSED!  And after you see her latest rant, you may not totally blame her.  As we all know she and ex-husband Usher have been in dramatic custody hearings all week over their two sons Usher V and Naviyd.  But things came to a head today as Tameka noticed Usher posted the above pic DURING the hearing--just to make her look bad. 

 

See what she spills about how Usher's been manipulating the media inside...

Tameka tweeted her feelings today--which were clearly bubbling over--about how Usher is attempting to gain sympathy with the public and media.  And doing so in a slick way.

She claims he sneakily snapped the above pic and is behind it getting out--and he made it seem like she was taking joy in making him break down on the stand yesterday.  She says this was actually during a break where she was minding her business drinking her Crystal Light...and their phones were supposed to be turned OFF.

Tameka says folks shouldn't fall for his antics and his hype, because he's just manipulating everyone and slanting things his way.  She told her twitter followers today:

I hope u know that was during a break & him sneaking a text on his cell. Different day from the 'sad' day. Its mischaracterized
the 'machine' is real...
He's playing a mass media game, hence TV appearances that lead to favorable coverage. It complete bulls**t. #Slant

She continued on about how he's manipulating the media:

he's trying garner sympathy. Hmm how did he get that pic the same day to post it???? That was posted during court!

I don't think they're seeing it, because most are blinded by his bright star. He's posting pap pics on his Facebook! Sincere?

And she went on to blame the media for how this custody battle has been spun in what she believes is his favor:

Media is an amazing machine.. so easily bought by politics, money & popularity. Truth is rarely sought.. they show one sided accounts 2 sway
I pray that the truth finally gets out. I didnt start this battle, I filed in response. Research, pls use ur brain & not the obvious show
Signing off for a minute.. the lies are annoying me & yall know I dont hold my tongue much. Im as transparent as they come & I despise lies

Meanwhile, earlier today, TMZ released video of Usher on the stand attempting to defend himself--in a half assed way--when he was accused by Tameka & her lawyer of sleeping with Tameka's bridesmaid Maya Fox Davis...while Usher & Tameka were stil married:

Thankfully, the custody hearing is in recess till July.
