| BROMANCE OVER: Floyd Mayweather GOES IN On 50 Cent With Twitter Attacks! Posted: 03 Nov 2012 09:02 AM PDT So Floyd Mayweather is clapping back at 50 Cent after 50 said he's shutting down the Money Team and selling his paraphernalia for a whopping $1. Check out the crazy tweets Floyd blasted his bestie with inside... Floyd & Curtis are continuing their lover's quarrel beef on Twitter. Late last night, the boxing champ posted suspect pics of his former bestie with some harsh words.
And then he ended with probably the harshest words:
Y'all know 50 is steaming right now. No word still on what caused this huge rift. But ish has not been right with these two since Floyd got out of jail back in August. Hmmm....  |
| Posted: 03 Nov 2012 07:02 AM PDT R&B crooner Tyrese has released the visual for "Best Of Me" and it stars actress Eva Marcille. See the stunning black-and-white video inside and watch Alicia Keys on "Jimmy Kimmel Live".....
When Tyrese shot the video for his latest single, "Best Of Me," he tapped "Girlfriend Confidential LA" star Eva Marcille to be his leading lady. The pairing resulted in a beautifully shot black-and-white visual, directed by Matt Alonzo. In the clip, which contains splashes of color, Tyrese and Eva frolick on the beach and share intimate moments at home. Tyrese revealed that the video had many delays and setbacks but he is pleased with the outcome. He tweeted,
The song appears of Tyrese's Open Invitation (in stores now)
Watch "Best Of Me" here:
And on late night tv.....
Alicia Keys stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live" where she told Jimmy that she and Swizz (who live in Soho which has been restored as of late Friday night) were still without power--at the tme--due to Hurricane Sandy. And unfortunately, some of their musical equipment was drowned in six feet of water. She also talked about about dressing little Egypt up as Michael Jackson for Halloween and jokingly said that she's seen him with other two-year-olds and she knows "already" that he is special and talented. And in addition to performing "Girl On Fire," she played a very funny PSA called "Helping Parents To Rock." Watch the interview here:

| Posted: 02 Nov 2012 06:29 PM PDT Chris Brown's mom recently defended her son's Halloween costume on Twitter. Find out what she said inside and watch the "Girl On Fire" video from Alicia Keys featuring Nicki Minaj. You may have heard about Chris Brown and his friends dressing up like "terrorists" for Halloween, and "you" might have been offended by it. But one person who's in Chris corner is his mom Joyce Hawkins. Joyce, who mainly uses her Twitter account to post inspirational messages and news about Chris, spoke about the controversy saying,
Sigh. A mother's love....she will defend Chris to the end.
And in new music videos... The success of Alicia Keys' "Girl On Fire" single and video has prompted her to make a video for the "Inferno version" featuring Nicki Minaj. The track is the lead single off Alicia's upcoming Girl On Fire disc which she described saying, “This [album] is me stepping into my complete woman- hood, my journey to becoming fearless.” Watch the new version ft. Ms. Minaj above....

| Posted: 02 Nov 2012 03:23 PM PDT Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley unveiled her baby nursery recently as she prepares for the arrival of Baby Housley. See photos inside as well as pics of Alicia Keys with her son in North Carolina and Garcelle Beauvais with her son on the red carpet. Tamera Mowry-Housley, who also blogs for PEOPLE.com, recently opened the doors of her Napa Valley, Calif., home to reveal the nursery she helped design with celebrity designer Shalena Smith. Shalena used personalized blocks from Gaga Design to add an inviting touch to the Newport Cottages changing table. Tamera also added a custom canvas featuring one of her and her husband's favorite quotes, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
And the nursery also features gifts from some of Tamera's celebrity friends. San Francisco Giants baller Brandon Belt gifted a mini jersey. The glowing twin said, "It's the perfect addition to our nursery." The nursery is also filled with vintage antiques that Tamera's husband Adam has had in his family for generations. And each piece has its own story like a toy plane that was "hand carved by an Italian prisoner of World War II and given to Adam's grandfather, an American soldier, for his kindness." Tamera was due on October 30.....she's still waiting. She tweeted, So tired today…hanging in there. Almost to the finish line. Loves this nursery. Adorbs!
And in North Carolina.... Alicia Keys hit the campaign trail for President Obama recently and she brought her son Egypt along for the stomp. Never too early to participate in the political game! And Hurricane Sandy may have forced Alicia Keys to postpone her Keep a Child Alive charity gala, but it won't stop her from performing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" tonight for his last show in Brooklyn.
And in Hollywood.... Gorgeous actress Garcelle Beauvais took her adorable son Jaid to the red carpet premiere of Walt Disney Animation Studios’Wreck-It Ralph at the El Capitan Theatre. When asked where her other son Jax was, she said, "Jax bailed on us last minute.” Garcelle was all smiles despite being dropped from the cast of her former show "Franklin & Bash." But luckily for Garcelle, she has other projects coming down the pipeline like "Arrested Development." The Randomness: 1. The NYC Mayor's office has officially CANCELLED the NYC Marathon after much controversy surrounding Bloomberg trying to keep it on schedule. STORY  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2012 01:01 PM PDT Yesterday, fabulous women like Toni Braxton, Kellita Smith and LisaRaye helped raise money at awareness for Lupus at a fabulous luncheon in Beverly Hills. See the pics inside and find out what Tamar Braxton and Vincent Herbert revealed to Wendy Williams... Yesterday, Lupus LA marked the 10-year anniversary of the Hollywood Bag Ladies Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The sold-out event was attended by some of the most charitable "bag ladies" in the country including LisaRaye, Kellita Smith (new "The First Family" star) and Essence Atkins.
R&B legend Toni Braxton was among the attendees, looking amazing in this orange Tom Ford bsck zipper dress, and was honored along with other past recipients of the “Woman of Achievement” Award. The R&B chick was supported by her family and fellow "Braxton Family Values" stars Traci Braxton, Evelyn Braxton and Trina Braxton.
Great look for her. Legendary actress and upcoming "The First Family" sitcom star Marla Gibbs showed that good black don't crack as she went down the blue carpet.
LisaRaye rocked her white pants and a black and white sequined top to the luncheon. She's been pushing the Actress Essence Atkins also stepped out in a white cocktail dress. Emmy-winning actress Jackee Harry (who appears on "The First Family" with Marla) flashed her pearly whites for the cameras. Marla and Jackee had a "227" reunion and posed with executive producer Carolyn Folks.
During the luncheon, the ladies were treated to a fashion show by designer Kevan Hall who has dressed FLOTUS Michelle Obama and plenty of celebrity gals. Fab job ladies!
In other Braxton related news.....
Tamar Braxton and her husband Vincent Herbert, who star on WEtv's "Tamar & Vince", stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" to dispel rumors that they are getting a divorce. Tamar said she didn't know where the rumor came from (oh, could it be the fact Vince said e's knows what he wants and it AINT "this"?) and that she definitely didn't "plant it" because she doesn't lie. The couple revealed that they are selling their new mansion because Vincent found a new one. Why? Because their 15,000 sqft mansion "wasn't big enough" for the TWO of them. Yeah, they said it. Vince told Wendy that he wanted Tamar to have a beauty salon...and he wanted a gym. When audience members laughed at him about making the gym comment, Tamar snapped "Don't do that. My man looks good." Tamar told Wendy she does not regret sharing her and Vincent's marital issues with the world on reality tv and added that divorce is not an option. The couple also said they never sleep in separate rooms. Then the couple made the "big announcement".....Vince and Wendy will be creating a "Wendy's Next Great Voice" segment in the show where viewers will compete for a demo deal with Vince!

| Rihanna Tweets Topless "Morning After" PIC + Kanye West RELEASES The "Cruel Winter" Trailer Posted: 02 Nov 2012 11:24 AM PDT
Rihanna tweeted a sexy and playful pic following her Halloween party this week. See Rihanna's topless "morning after" look inside and get the deets on Kanye West's upcoming "Cruel Winter" project the G.O.O.D. Music folks are bringing out...
Following her Halloween bash, Rihanna apparently woke up camera ready the next morning and tweeted, 'The morning after! Hello November'. In the flick, the singer is topless and stares at the camera as if she's had a long night of....yeah. Before the party, her bestie Melissa took a snapshot of Rih getting ready for the evening in her green "carnaval queen" gown and veil. Earlier, Riri had been crowned the queen of the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval. Folks at the party say the pop diva could be seen giving "lap dances" to her "friend" Chris Brown, who attended the party in a controversial costume. We're sure...
BONUS: Rihanna just released behind the scenes footage from her Unapologetic photo shoot. Watch it above.
In other music news..... Kanye West seemed to use former President George Bush as inspiration for his latest music trailer, a short film called "Cruel Winter." The one minute clip, directed by Austin Christianson, shows stark and dramatic scenes from nature (trees, leaves, an open field) while audio from George Bush's "Toward a New World Order" speech plays in the background. So what does all the mean? No one knows...or at least no one is revealing anything. Do we ever know with 'Ye though? We do know that Q-Tip revealed the name of the project during the BET Hip Hop Awards, but he did not give up any details about what fans can expect. But because Kanye also premiered a short film in Cannes before the release of Cruel Summer, we suspect this will be a musical project of a similar nature. So maybe the avant garde film will give birth to a full out G.O.O.D. album? He loves to keep folks guessing.....  |
| Posted: 02 Nov 2012 10:17 AM PDT Jay-Z has signed on to give President Obama's final campaign rally a huge push. Get the deets inside, plus how he and his wife & baby girl jetted to a 5-star hotel to escape Superstorm Sandy... Hov is giving President Obama another big push on his final day of campaigning. Jay, along with Bruce Springsteen, will perform at O's final rally in Columbus, Ohio on Monday (Nov. 5th). This comes after The Carters hosted a $4 mill fundraiser for the Commander-In-Chief. Other celebs stomping on the final campaign trail--Stevie Wonder, Marc Anthony and Gabrielle Union all joined First Lady Michelle Obama in Florida yesterday. And Dave Matthews Band is rocking out in Bristow, VA on Saturday with the Prez & Former Prez Bill Clinton.
And being a celeb has its perks. The Carters nabbed up a room at the uber swanky Mark Hotel on the upper east side of NYC this week as Sandy wrecked havoc on the tri-state area. Hotels in the whole city have been completely sold out all week. The fam had to leave their lower Manhattan Tribeca home as the entire lower half of Manhattan--beneath 40th street--lost power and steam. Even running water in some places. So the twosome joined a slew of other stranded celebs at the same hotel--their Trbeca neighbor Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Russell Crowe, French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and more. They also hit up a Halloween party to lift their spirits (in case a cushy suite wasn't enough) on Wednesday at Cipriani 42nd St. Dita Von Teese hosted and Russell Crowe tweeted: Must be nice... By the way, check out The Carters on EBONY's 2012 Power 100 list. Congrats to all!  |
