| COUPLEDOM: Halle & Olivier Are Shopping Lovers + Alonzo & Tracy Mourning Cozy Up In D.C. Posted: 19 Jan 2013 07:42 AM PST Alonzo Mourning and his championship ring were hard to miss yesterday evening as he and his wife, Tracy, arrived into Washington D.C. ahead of the Inauguration festivities.
We've got their cute pics, plus Halle Berry looking totally smitten while out shopping with fiance Olivier, inside.... How cute! 42-year-old NBA champ Alonzo Mourning cuddled up with his wife, Tracy, as they braved the arctic chill of D.C. last night. The Miami couple bundled up outside the airport while waiting for their car. And we're sure they're gearing up for the umpteen Presidential Inauguration festivities this weekend.
Meanwhile, over in L.A.: Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez are so in love and they love to show it. Ms. Berry is starring in the upcoming flick Movie 43, and her Frenchman seems to never be able to keep his eyes off her. Can we blame him? The twosome were spotted arm-in-arm while shopping around their city yesterday: Loves that bag Halle. Pics: Splash/PCN  |

| NOT MARRIED....YET! Amber Rose & Wiz Khalifa DENY 'Secret Marriage' Rumors Posted: 19 Jan 2013 05:58 AM PST After Amber Rose used the word "husband" to describe her fiance Wiz Khalifa in front of the paparazzi cams this past week, a report hit the net that they had secretly gotten married. But just as we suspected it's just pet names folks.
Wiz's denial of a secret marriage inside.... Amber told the TMZ paps that "her husband" loves the Ninja Turtles when they ran into her out in L.A. last week. That led the site to report that the two must have gotten secretly married. But like we reported, Amber & Wiz have been calling each other "husband and wife" since the day they got together. And that's all it was. Wiz followed up with the site yesterday saying:
Wiz previously said the two would be married on paper before the baby is born. And their little Wizbud is due February 24th. So.... Meanwhile, Amber's getting all nostalgic on Instagram posting side by side pics of her and Wiz's baby pics so the fans could see what their baby boy COULD possible look like. She said:
Good luck you two! The Randomness: 1. Manti Te'o has broken his silence about his involvement in the "Catfish" style hoax that everyone has been talking about this week. STORY 2. Robert F. Chew from "The Wire" has died of heart failure. STORY 3. Tyler Perry has sold his $11.25 mill bachelor pad in the Hollywood Hills. STORY

| Posted: 18 Jan 2013 03:04 PM PST Kelly Rowland is upping that freak factor with her new song "Kisses Down Low". Check it inside, plus new music from Kevin McCall and Prince's big BILLBOARD honor... If there was any doubt if Kelly was as quiet and goodie goodie as she likes to come off....we now know that's pretty far from th truth. Ms. Kelly has put out a few songs that were a bit sexier than we expected from her. And her newest single, "Kisses Down Low," solidifies her place in the "freakum girl" crew. The song is produced by Mike Will Made It (who also did Juicy J's "Bandz A Maker Her Dance" and Rihanna's "Pour It Up"). And it will appear on her upcoming studio album Year of the Woman. Check it below: Kelly wrote on her website:
You feelin' it?
Chris Brown's signee Kevin "K-Mac" McCall just released a new song "High." (produced by Young Lad); It will appear on his upcoming mixtape Definition. Check out the sexy rapper's latest work below:
Extras: 1. Prince will perform and will be honored at the 2013 Blllboard Music Awards with the Icon Award on Sunday, May 19th. Now....who's doing his tribute if there is one?  |
| Posted: 18 Jan 2013 01:05 PM PST The former mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, is caught up in a swampy mess down in New Orleans with the feds coming down on him with 21 federal corruption charges. Find out more inside.... Something in the gumbo ain't right down in the N.O. as former mayor Ray Nagin has been hit with 21 federal corruption charges. Though Ray first rose to national prominence after he was applauded for the way he handled Hurricane Katrina during those FIRST few days, some things have changed and folks may never look at him the same. The charges stem from a City Hall corruption investigation where counts include wire fraud, bribery, money laundering, filing false tax returns and conspiracy. So how deep are Ray's hands in the pot? It's not looking very good for Ray as two former city officials and two businessmen (whom he had close dealings with) have already plead guilty. And with the feds involved, expect them all to start spilling the sweet tea on each other.

| "Django Unchained" Action Figures YANKED Off The Market Posted: 18 Jan 2013 10:32 AM PST The controversial "Django Unchained" action figures have been pulled from the market after an uproar from several well-organized groups. More details inside....
Our cousins have been on a roll lately when it comes to ridding the market of ideas and concepts deemed hurtful towards the African American race. First, our folks got together on Change.Org and put the squash on Shawty-Lo, and now the same has happened to the Django Unchained dolls. Some of the loudest voices were Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope who caused the Weinstein Company to rethink the dolls after an article from the Daily Beast shined a light on the issues surrounding it. After the outrage, reports state the Weinstein Company's asked the toy company to stop production and it's reported that only 1,000 dolls were made before shutting down production. But on the flip side of that coin....now those 1,000 dolls will become collector's items. Just imagine Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington and Samuel Jackson "dolls" on the auction blocks about ten years from now....oh the irony.  |
| CHEERS FOR BIRTHDAY BOY D-WADE: Gabby Union ROOTS ON HER MAN At The Heat Vs.
