Bobby Brown Responds To Rehab Reports + T.I. Releases "Go Get It" Video Posted: 16 Aug 2012 10:15 AM PDT We've got updates on two fellas who have had their fair share of troubles. Check our Bobby Brown's statement, via his lawyer, about his state of rehab. Plus T.I.'s new vid... Last week, Bobby Brown entered a confidential rehabilitation center. And it stemmed from his March arrest for using his cell phone on a public way without a headset and the suspicion of driving under the influence. So Bobby agreed with the State of California to pursue rehab in exchange for the level of charges he would face. And now his lawyer is speaking for him: “Mr. Brown takes his agreement very seriously and admitted himself three weeks after concluding his honeymoon in Mexico during a break from the New Edition tour,” said Christopher Brown, Esq. of Brown & Rosen LLC. “Bobby is doing well and receiving services that comply with his agreement with the State of California.” Bobby's wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown said today, “Bobby’s children and loved ones are very proud of him. We appreciate his fans prayers and well wishes. Bobby is mentally in a good place.” Interestingly, Bobby's daughter Krissy hinted that rehab wasn't going as well as folks are beong made to think. Yet and still, Mr. Brown will continue on his concert dates with New Edition and his solo concerts which includes September 1, 2012 in Orlando, Florida.
Meanwhile, T.I. is stoll on the comeback tip with his upcoming new album Trouble Man. Check out the latest video for his single "Go Get It." As usual, he's showing you just how far he's come in the vid--rags to riches. All because, we assume, he "went and got it." |
Halle Berry Spends Her Birthday With Olivier, Heads To Court Over Moving Nahla To France Posted: 16 Aug 2012 09:06 AM PDT
Pics and deets inside... Halle was led out the club last night by her man Olivier. The twosome had some fun for Halle's birthday:
But today is a different story. Reports say Halle will be in court to persuade judges to let her take Nahla to Paris to live with her and Olivier...which means Nahla will be away from her father Gabriel Aubry. Gabe isn't feeling the move, of course. But Halle is using the fact that paparazzi swarm her & Nahla constantly, which puts them in danger. She has even subpoenaed paparazzo Andrew Deetz, the man who got way too close at Nahla's school back in May and she proceeded to pop off on. Remember this? So if Andrew say it's indeed his job to be ridiculously aggressive, Halle may just have a case on her hands. |
BACK TO WORK: Rihanna Lands In TOKYO For Huge Stadium Performances Posted: 16 Aug 2012 08:16 AM PDT Rihanna's beach days are over--for right now---as she's officially back to work.

And Kim's daughter Brielle tweeted:
Kim & Kroy also have a 1-year-old son named Kroy, Jr., who appeared on Kim & Kroy's spinoff show "Don't Be Tardy For The Wedding".

Word has it Kim's screen time has been cut for the upcoming season of "Housewives," because she was so busy being pregnant and chillin' with her husband Kroy during taping. Time will tell.... Congrats to the fam!

We rarely, if ever, get to hear from actual NBA wives who are married to some of the richest and most well known ballers in the league. Now we have a peek into how catty the wives are...or aren't...with each other, plus why the fashion game is so much competition amongst them, it's a pretty interesting thing to hear. Vanessa Bryant, Kimberly Chandler & Alexis Welch dish on the ish we've been wondering about inside... The ladies snapped some fab pics for New York Magazine for a piece posted today on the publication's website. And for some reason, Vanessa opened up more than ever. Many think she's just an ice princess--since she seems to never engage with folks--who keeps a stone face while her husband is lacing her finger with yet another umpteen carat diamond ring to apologize for his infidelities, but she says that's not the case. Vanessa on why she stays out of the limelight “I thought things would go away, if you don’t feed into the b.s., and no one would think about you. Now I realize I do have to talk about certain things. Still, I don’t like the limelight. There’s a lot of good you can do with fame, like creating awareness for a foundation, but a lot of negativity comes along with it.” On if her and Kobe's marriage is on the mend “Um, yes. We’re working on things.” On her luxe 25 carat diamond ring “Everyone my jeweler talked to was afraid of tension-setting it for me, but he finally found someone who wasn’t worried about cracking the stone." On no longer needing to collect Birkins and Chanel bags “I’m not really a handbag person anymore. I’ve collected Birkin bags, Chanel 2.55 jumbo flap bags, and the Marc Jacobs Stephen Sprouse collection for Louis Vuitton since I was a teenager. But now, as they say, everyone and their mom is buying a Birkin or a regular size 2.55 bag in black, taupe, or beige. I’ve been sticking to a magenta suede Proenza Schouler bag.”
On her fashion style (while packing for the Olympics with her Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens & J Brand clothes spilling over) “I’m inspired by Ann Miller and Monica Bellucci. My mom dressed so ladylike, with high-waisted knee-length skirts, nylons, and long tailored coats, always on her way to work.” (As far as Kobe’s style goes) For the longest time I tried convincing Kobe that he should wear things a little more fitted. And for years and years he was like, ‘I don’t feel comfortable, I feel like they rise.’ And now all of a sudden the stylist says it, and it makes sense.” On her typical day and having NO nannies “I think people imagine that I sit at home with all the time in the world to do my hair and makeup, but that’s certainly not the case. I’m up at 6:30 in the morning with my kids. I’m taking them wherever they need to go. [I don't use a nanny.] That’s the way I was raised. [I've never missed a sports game or practice of my daughters.] On dealing with portable nebulizers for her daughter's asthma and feeling uncomfortable about the meds doctors push on her “I’m not sure where she got asthma from, but I’m really careful. When their dad’s over and he sprays deodorant, I ask him to go into another room. My youngest daughter has allergies to olive trees. We had twelve olive trees on this property, and after we took her to an allergist, I had them excavated.” On the rumored fight with Khloe Kardashian Odom and getting special privileges from the Lakers organization “Everything is false. Khloé was at my 29th birthday. I don’t get involved in the drama. I’ve been with Kobe since I was 17, so I’ve seen plenty of players, and plenty of wives, come and go. It wouldn’t benefit me whatsoever to have an issue with any of them, whether they were a girlfriend, or a wife, a person-of-a-month, or … you know. And I think that’s why the Lakers as an organization give me the access that I have, that other wives don’t have. If you notice, I am the only one allowed in that tunnel. I don’t like standing outside and giving him a kiss in front of all the cameras. So I stand in there to get away from them. But then the cameras end up following. And if the girls are there, sometimes, that’s their kiss good night for Daddy, and when he comes home, they’re asleep.” On pushing Kobe to win “I love basketball. And I know what goes on behind the scenes, so I have a different perspective on things, but still, I do. I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships. If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year.” More pics of Vanessa at her Newport Coast mansion and with her Pomeranian named Gucci:
Next up in the NY Mag piece was Amar'e Stoudemire's fiancee Alexis Welch: Highlights from her interview from their Miami home: On helping Amar'e win in New York "We all want to encourage our men and support them. This is a partnership. We’re going to get everything balanced, and that will be reflected on the court. I’m taking care of the household, making sure the kids are straight, the dog has his food, making sure Amar’e can be a dad at the end of the day, do something that has nothing to do with basketball. Amar’e’s going to get on the grind, everything’s going to fall into place. This year, we’re bringing a championship to New York.” And also, NY Knick Tyson Chandler's fashionable wife Kimberly, posing in their NYC home. On how Tyson woos her like Julia Roberts got pampered in Pretty Woman (the movie she was watching when Tyson surprised her with a shopping spree):
On caring for their plush home and kids
And "Basketball Wife" Jennifer Williams, who was once married to ex-baller Eric Williams, dropped the tea about how the other wives size you up during the season:

Rihanna CONFESSES Her CONCERN For Chris Brown + Azealia Banks' BANNED "Dazed & Confused" COVER Posted: 15 Aug 2012 04:45 PM PDT The OWN Network has just released a longer clip of Rihanna talking about the infamous altercation she had with Chris Brown. Watch it inside and see Azealia Banks banned Dazed & Confused cover and get deets on Chris Brown and Drake being sued by Greenhouse. On this Sunday's episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter" Rihanna reveals her state of mind right after the controversial altercation she had with Chris Brown in 2009. Although she was angry, she admits she was more concerned with his welfare than her own as she felt the world hated him. She tearfully said in the clip,
Watch Rihanna break down about Chris here:
In other controversial news..... Dazed & Confused has revealed the September cover of Azealia Banks which has been banned in several countries. The Sharif Hamza-shot pic shows Azealia smoking a condom like it's a cigar with the headline, "Azealia Banks Blows Up." Apparently this is too risque for shelves.
Check out the rest of her Sharif Hamza spread where she rocks designs from Lanvin, and we think she looks pretty hot......
BONUS: Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., the company that owns the "Greenhouse" brand outside of NYC is suing both Chris Brown and Drake for the altercation that went down at Greenhouse in NYC. In the $16 Million suit, the company claims Chris and Drake, "shared a grudge against the other arising out of their romantic relationships with the same woman" and "began to fight violently with each other." The suit continues with very dramatic language about the evening saying, "Each arrived with his own small army of bodyguards, 'security' personnel, employees, friends and other members of their entourage consisting of at least 15 heavily built men trained and/or experienced in hand-to-hand and weapons combat." It even adds, that the two groups "fashioned deadly weapons out of whatever materials they could find, including glasses, alcohol bottles and furniture." We'll let you know if a judge takes the bait.

And over in Switzerland, Gabby Union was swept to yet another country during her boyfriend Dwyane Wade's off season. The twosome jetted from London over to Lake Geneva yesterday to attend a Hublot event. And they looked happy as pie to be sipping champagne, looking fab and living it up. Dwyane kept it dapper in his neutral two-toned double-breasted Tom Ford suit and custom designed DelToro shoes. While Gabby kept it sexy in an Alexander Wang dress, Brian Atwood shoes and a Mulberry bag. Kissy kissy!

NSFW: Cassie TOPLESS Aboard A Yacht With Diddy! Posted: 15 Aug 2012 12:37 PM PDT Cassie is floating around the Mediterranean Sea on a yacht with her boss & boo Diddy.

Posted: 15 Aug 2012 12:00 PM PDT It's (almost) official! We posted pics of Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams-Stewart getting cozy with the current "Real Housewives of Atlanta" over the weekend at Wonderland Kids Safari fashion show. We've been saying for motnhs now both ladies are rumored to be the castmates. Now, we hear they've officially signed a contract with Bravo.
Deets inside, plus how Kris Humphries just served Kanye West papers to get back at his estranged wife! Porsha and Kenya were schmoozing front row at the fashion show this weekend with current 'Housewives" NeNe Leakes & Phaedra Parks for a reason. According to In Touch Weekly, the two have officially signed their contract with Bravo to become the new additions to the cast. It's officially Bye Bye Marlo! Porsha is married to retired football player Kordell Stewart (New Orleans!). And beauty queen Kenya...well I guess we'll just have to find out how she will fit into this since she mainly lives in L.A. (but calls Atlanta her second home and has been staying there during taping) and is single. In Touch reports:
What we already knew is being confirmed....kinda.
Speaking of reality stars, Kim K.'s estranged husband, NBA baller Kris Humphries, just dropped a doozy on her new boo Kanye West. Disguised inside of a Nordstrom box (Kris knew exactly how to get Kim or Kanye to open something), Kris' lawyers served Kanye a subpoena to appear in court for the divorce proceedings. Why? According to TMZ, Kim's lawyers claim they don't know what it is Kris wants exactly, but he is stuck on "putting reality tv on trial" because he feels their whole wedding was a sham. And Kris wants to bring Kanye into the mix since he and Kim started dating 5 minutes after she filed for divorce. Looks like Kanye is already gonna end up in court over his "perfect b*tch." Good luck with that...
