Mekhi Phifer Is A MARRIED Man! All The Deets From His Wedding Ceremony HERE!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 12:29 PM PDT

What a WONDERFUL early-Easter present this must have been!

Mekhi Phifer, who has appeared on both ER and Torchwood: Miracle Day, married his fiance, Reshelet Barnes, yesterday afternoon at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills!

And from what we gather, it was an absolutely STUNNING ceremony, held on an outdoor terrace with 100 of the couple's family and friends watching on!

According to eyewitness, Mekhi's son walked down the aisle with the family's chihuahua on a leash, while the groom wore a white suit and took his spot under an alter of yellow flowers, while Ribbon in the Sky by Stevie Wonder played!

But it was the bride herself who rightfully stole the show, as sources continued:

"When she made her entrance into the courtyard, Mekhi was completely overcome with emotion and you could tell she took his breath away. He had to wipe tears from his eyes for several minutes."

Awwww! This just sounds TOO touching!

We couldn't be more thrilled for you both!

Congratulations, guys!

True Blood Is Picking Up Right Where Last Season Left Off In NEW Teaser! Watch HERE!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 12:01 PM PDT

Get ready, fangers!

Because it looks as though when True Blood returns with its sixth season on June 16th, BILLITH is back...and NOT f-cking around!

HBO has JUST released its first official teaser of what to expect from our fanged friends down in Bon Temps, Louisiana, and thankfully, it seems like we'll be picking up RIGHT where we left off with poor Sookie and Viking Vampire Eric as they attempt to escape the wrath of their newly-transformed former ally!

And that's just the START of it!

Seriously!

There is a WHOLE lot to watch in this teaser, which is a pretty incredible feat, considering it's only 30 seconds long!

Ch-ch-check it all out for yourself (above)!

What do U think?? Who else is ready for some V?!

Justin Bieber's Real-Life Entourage Throws SIZZURP Parties At His Mansion!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 11:24 AM PDT

Guess Lil' Twist isn't the only member of Justin Bieber's posse causing him all sorts of trouble!

In fact, according to new reports, he's one THREE individuals who are responsible for the constant-pAArtying going on at the pint-sized pop star's Calabasas estate, which, as we've reported, has his neighbors FURIOUS!

And apparently, it's with good reason!

According to sources close to Biebs, he shares the home with Twist, a friend he calls King Kevi, and another who wishes to remain anonymous. These three get to live there free of charge, have their own security guard, and to the surprise of no-one, are allowed to drive all of his cars...even when their sugar daddy is out of town!

Furthermore, this "King Kevi" character is the worst of them all, as he's only lived in the house for a month, and yet has managed to throw 30 parties in that time, all of which have included more women than men and lots of SIZZURP, which as we all know, is incredibly dangerous and allegedly nearly took Lil' Wayne's life!

Gross. Gross gross gross gross gross gross.

Who needs enabling hanger-ons when you have friends like these?

Time to stop pretending your life is Entourage, Biebs! Lose these guys!

They're OBVIOUSLY not helping your current issues, if not exacerbating them!

What do U think?? Should Justin make new friends?!

DJ Lindsay Lohan Keeps The PAArty Going In Brazil While Prosecutors Debate Possible JAIL TIME!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 10:24 AM PDT

We guess it's a good thing that Lindsay Lohan is pAArtying as hard as she is while drinking working her way through Brazil!

Because it's beginning to look more and more like when she returns back to the United States, she'll be facing ACTUAL jail time for lying to the police and violating her probation in last year's PCH car accident!

As we've reported, the troubled starlet's lawyer, Mark Heller, forged a last minute plea bargain with prosecutors and Judge Jim Dabney, which require her to spend 90 days in a lockdown rehab facility, despite everyone later realizing that there being no such thing in New York state.

Therefore, we're now hearing that because the actual sentence assigned to her was, indeed, 90 days in jail that could be substituted with a lockdown treatment facility, prosecutors are now looking to amend the terms, which would either land her behind bars or in just regular rehab...and we ALL know how that's gone in the past!

Guess we'll just have to wait and see what Dabney decides should be done!

Although we doubt it's going to be in LiLo's favor, ESPECIALLY if he sees what she's been up to lately!

Ch-ch-check out Lindsay has as she took over a DJ booth at a local club in Florianopolis (above)!

Clearly, someone's VERY repentent for her past behavior, and looking to make serious, positive changes to her lifestyle so she can better herself as a human being.

Now hold on. We're going to need to practice saying that last part with a straight face.

Britney Spears Prepares For A Louisiana Easter With Sister Jamie Lynn!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 09:43 AM PDT

Looks like Britney Spears' latest trip to LAX was to catch a flight to her hometown for the holidays!

The pop superstar was spotted yesterday afternoon in Kentwood, Louisiana, looking adorably casual as she picked up a few Easter essentials at the local Walmart...and she even made the shopping trip a family affair, as she was joined by her sister, Jamie Lynn, and her new fiance Jamie Watson!

Ch-ch-check them all out as they pushed their stocked carriages through the parking lot (above and below)!

We just ADORE seeing all of them spending time together - especially during this time of year!

Everyone deserves to spend the holidays surrounded by their family and loved ones, and we're so glad that the Spears clan knows how important that is!

Here's hoping you all had a GLORIOUS Easter Egg Hunt this morning!

Harry Styles Is Going SOLO! Is This The END Of One Direction?!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 09:22 AM PDT

Prepare yourselves, Directioners!

This MAY be a lot to digest all at once!

But it looks as though Harry Styles, arguably the biggest break-out star in One Direction, may be ready to leave his boy band days behind him...and follow in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake and former girl-group alum Beyonce into an extremely successful solo career!

We KNOW! We weren't expecting it to be this quick, either!

They've only released two albums as a group, after all!

But according to sources, while Niall Horan used the brief break from the Take Me Home world tour to attend his brother's wedding, Harry took off to El Lay, where he spent his free time writing and recording his own material at Paramount, with the help of Ed Sheeran!

Insiders explain further:

'He loves messing around with some of the new songs he's been working on. He's bounced some ideas off his friend Ed Sheeran and has already laid down some vocals. Harry's priority is obviously still with 1D. But when he decides the time to go solo has arrived, he's likely to have a project raring to go.'

PHEW! We were starting to get nervous that he was already half-way out the door!

And we just simply don't know if our heart could take that!

HOWEVER, we are delighted to hear that the 19-year-old has his creative juices flowing, and is already looking forward to and laying the groundwork for the next stage of his career!

Smart, practical thinking, Boo!

Now give us a sneak peek at some of the tunes on which you were working!

It IS Easter Sunday, after all! Ha!

What do U think? Should Harry leave One Direction for a solo career?!

Justin Bieber Deserves A "Spanking," According To Metallica's Manager! Quote Of The Day!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 08:38 AM PDT

Eva Mendes Is SERIOUSLY JEALOUS Of Jessica Chastain And DESPERATE For Similar Roles!

Posted: 31 Mar 2013 07:44 AM PDT

UH-OH, you guys!

It looks like Rachel McAdams may not be the only actress on Eva Mendes' sh-t list!

Although in this case, it's not over being moves being made on her man, Ryan Gosling! It's over movie ROLES!

According to sources, the actress is INSANE with jealousy over Jessica Chastain and the success she's garnered during Awards season over the movie roles she's picked, and has even signed with the Zero Dark Thirty star's agent, Hylda Queally, in hopes that she won't be typecast any longer for her sex appeal!

Insiders explain:

"Eva's been almost obsessed with Jessica since she played the part of Maya in Zero Dark Thirty, a role Eva wanted for herself. It is as if Eva lives to please Ryan and is desperate to impress him. I think he is very controlling and tells her he thinks she can do better. It's no coincidence that she's now with Hylda… aside from Jessica, Hylda looks after Cate Blanchett and Marion Cotillard, so she knows her stuff. Eva told Hylda to send her to whatever auditions Jessica attends. She's tired of being typecast as the love interest and wants to be a leading lady. But Eva's problem is she's just too sexy. She's got a real mountain to climb to really get away from bombshell roles."

YEESH!

This all seems a little...INTENSE, wouldn't you say?!

We're all for attempting to break past stereotypes and find more challenging, out-of-the-box roles, but we DO NOT think the proper way to do that is to assign another person as your standard for success!

These types of scenarios just NEVER end well!

What do U think?? Is Eva Mendes dangerously obsessed with Jessica Chastain??

IT'S NOT OVER: Michael Jordan MIGHT File COUNTER-CLAIM Over ALLEGED Paternity SUIT!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 09:58 AM PDT

 photo MichaelJordanRyderCupDayOneFoursomesTlQGf5LxOe0x.jpg

Michael Jordan and his legal team might have something up their legal sleeves for Pamela Smith, the woman who accused him of fathering her son. Find out more inside....

 

Remember when Pamela Smith stirred up headlines a few weeks ago with talk that Michael Jordan fathered her teenage son?  Though she did her best to gain media traction for the story, she suddenly asked the Fulton Country courts to dismiss the case, leading many to speculate that she had been paid off.

But now, new actions by Michael and his legal team seem to suggest that Mr. Jordan didn't pay Pamela off!  In fact, TMZ reports that the NBA legend has filed new legal docs asking the court to keep the case open so he can file a counter-claim against Pamela to cover his court costs! OUCH. 

If Pamela didn't know about the repercussions of filing frivilous lawsuits...she's gon learn today (in the voice of Kevin Hart).

Angelina Jolie Is TRIUMPHANT In 2011 Blood And Honey Lawsuit!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 12:33 PM PDT

Remember back in 2011 when a man named James Braddock sued Angelina Jolie, on the grounds that she allegedly stole key elements from his book The Soul Shattering for her movie on the Bosnian War, In The Land of Blood and Honey?

Well, guess what?!

The case has FINALLY been resolved, and it looks like the actress/director is in the clear!

WELL. Not officially. Just tentatively!

But it's looking good for her!

According to U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee's ruling today, there were NOT enough similarities between the content featured in the two mediums to warrant an actual copyright violation, and therefore, Braddock must be able to successfully show cause why the suit should not be dismissed with prejudice by April 12th!

Yeah! Good luck with that!

This guy's gonna need it, we think!

What do U think?? Was Angie's movie a copyright violation of this guy's book?

Justin Bieber Facing CRIMINAL BATTERY Charges For Spitting Incident?! Sheriff's Department Planning To Recommend PROSECUTION!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 12:02 PM PDT

Uh-OH!

Looks like Justin Bieber may CERTAINLY be landing in anger management classes!

Because if the El Lay County Sheriff's Department has it their way, the pop star will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, after allegedly spitting on his next-door neighbor!

We've already reported that the El Lay County District Attorney wants to see Biebs punished for what they consider to be a disgusting, vile crime, and now, we've caught wind that once investigators for the Sheriff have completed their assessment of the situation, they will be recommending that criminal battery charges be filed against him!

And get this: it's NOT just over the loogie!

In fact, law enforcement sources are apparently none-too-pleased with what they describe to be a pattern forming over his disregard for the law...which as we've all seen, includes speeding tickets, reckless driving, drugs, threats...and most recently, attempting to sneak a monkey through customs in Germany!

Apparently, this is the kind of the behavior that is known to escalate over time (Lindsay Lohan, anyone?) and they hope that if they can get him into the system now, they may be able to secure him the professional help to get back on track before it's too late!

And we have to say...we completely, 100% AGREE!

Enough is enough! It's time to learn that actions have consequences, and that being famous is NOT synonymous with a hall pass to behave however one would like, regardless of its effects on others!

Britney Spears' Conservatorship Under Review AGAIN - And Will Make Her Even WEALTHIER!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 11:39 AM PDT

Well, one thing is for certain:

We doubt Britney Spears will have to worry about money a day in her life...EVER!

And she has her conservators, Andrew M. Wallet and Daddy Dearest Jamie Spears, to thank for that!

The pair reportedly filed a ex parte petition with the judge overseeing the legal arrangement this past Friday, in hopes to modify how her investments are currently being managed so the pop icon can amass even MORE wealth than her career has so far accumulated!

According to legal documents, her money is held in separate Conservatorship and SJB Trust accounts through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch, but due to the "changing market conditions," are hoping that the court approves 50-90% of the value going into fixed income, five-35% to go into equities, and 0-20% into alternatives like hedge and real estate funds!

Inneresting!

We wonder if any of these "adjustments" are being made to accommodate a possible, yet-still-unconfirmed multi-million dollar Las Vegas residency deal?!

It certainly would fit into the time-frame, given her recent trip to Sin City!

Either way, get those dollah dollah bills, gurl! You certainly deserve it!

Chris Brown Goes After Drake's Bottom On New R.I.P. Remix! Listen To The Diss HERE!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 11:22 AM PDT

Well...guess we now know that both Drake and Chris Brown's respective appearances on Snoop's new album was NOT indication of a peace offering between the pair!

As we reported, Drizzy Drake went after his rival for Rihanna's heart BIG TIME in his latest single, 5AM in Toronto, in which he asserted that the Barbadian pop sensation was seeing HIM on the side!

Well, now, Breezy has bit back - and HARD - on his featured appearance alongside YG and Kendrick Lamar for the remix of Young Jeezy's R.I.P....and even goes so far as to twist the title of Drake's Started From The Bottom to suggest he's actually gay!

Give it a listen (above)!

YEESH!

Some clever wordplay aside, we think, if anything, the nasty feud between the pair is only going to get WORSE after this!

What do U think?? Team Breezy or Drizzy?!

Lindsay Lohan Continues Her Hard-PAArtying Tour Of Sao Paulo!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 10:23 AM PDT

As we all know, after putting the cast and crew of Anger Management through hell while filming her guest spot on the series, Lindsay Lohan grabbed everything she could from the wardrobe department and slithered off to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she's essentially making a low six-figure salary to run around and pAArty as hard as she can!

And from the looks of it, she's doing a FINE job of keeping up with her 'professional obligations!'

Ch-ch-check out Our Lady of Perpetual Chaos exiting a Brazilian nightclub last night (above)!

Well, at least she's standing up and walking!

Hell, she even looks lucid...well, kind of!

Still better than hiding under a table and crying all evening, right?

Daniel Craig Paid $1 Million For Less Than 10 Minutes Of Work!

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 09:42 AM PDT

Daniel Craig may be worth every penny for the job he does as James Bond in the 2 1/2 hour Skyfall, but should we really prorate it for public appearances?

The actor reportedly received a whopping ONE MILLION DOLLAR paycheck for a little spokesperson work, showing up and taking pics in front of the new Range Rover at the New York Auto Show.

But after a VERY quick photo shoot, Daniel hightailed it out of there! Onlookers said he was there only a few minutes before bolting! One unsatisfied guest said:

"I couldn't even tell if he was actually here."

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see for yourself if the actor's wordless appearance seems worth it.

A representative from Range Rover decided to focus on the positive. He said:

"We won't comment on our relationship with Mr. Craig beyond confirming that Land Rover supports the charity S.A.F.E., of which the actor is a patron, and will continue its charitable efforts with a vehicle donation later this year."

S.A.F.E. works to fight AIDS and female mutilation in Africa, a cause we're certain 007 could get behind!

Cameras caught him arriving home from his brother's wedding in Dublin; if you didn't already watch him sing there sans 1D, you're sorely missing out!

Ahhh! International airport sightings get us soooo excited!!!

It means there's a chance he's flying across The Pond to visit us, LOLz!!

Is he licking his lips, too?!

Yum!! What we wouldn't give to run our hands through his perfectly manicured hair and... well, Directioners, you'll can use your imaginations!!

SPOTTED: Jay-Z OUT AND ABOUT In New York, Hill Harper DINES In Beverly Hills With MYSTERY WOMAN

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 08:25 AM PDT

 photo bowery3.jpg

Hip hop mogul Jay-Z was spotted on the streets of New York yesterday.  Get the deets on his "Legends Of The Summer" Tour and see who Hill Harper dined with in Beverly Hills...

Jay-Z looked like he was in an "Empire State of Mind" yesterday, while spotted hopping out off of his chauffeur-driven SUV yesterday.

 photo bowerry2.jpg

HOV will be hitting the road with Justin Timberlake this summer for their "Legends Of The Summer" tour where he's expected to gross about $1.5 million per show.

 photo bowery1.jpg

And Jay will spare no expense on the tour as The Sun reports he's even hired an expert to roll cigars for him and his friends in a special “Gentlemen’s Club” set up backstage.  If that sounds extravagant, Jigga can surely afford it since Forbes just named him as one of the wealthiest hip-hop artists in the world

 

And in Beverly Hills....

 photo plaidsj2.jpg

Actor/author Hill Harper was spotted waiting for his keys at the valet of Craig's in Beverly Hills last night.

Hill was joined at dinner by a mystery woman whom he was careful to avoid being photographed with.

Outside of dinner dates, Hill recently helped raise $18,000 for the Somaly Mam Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps combat global sex trafficking, and he announced on Twitter that he submitting a new book to his publisher on Monday.

MUSIC FAB: Azealia Banks "No Problems" (VIDEO) + Young Jeezy' “R.I.P.” (REMIX) Featuring YG, Kendrick Lamar And Chris Brown

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 07:28 AM PDT

 photo 433056626_640.jpg

Azealia Banks has dropped a video for her "No Problems" single from her major label debut.  Watch the Yung Rapunxel's festival-inspired clip inside and hear Young Jeezy's "R.I.P." (Remix) featuring YG, Kendrick Lamar and Chris Brown.

As fans count the days until the long-awaited release of her Interscope debut Broke With Expensive Taste (April 16), Azealia Banks has unleashed a clip for her "No Problems" single.

Though originally intended as an Angel Haze diss, the clip takes on a life of its own as Yung Rapunzel rocks the mic at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. With her long weave, she sways from side-to-side while rapping into her iPhone and doing high kicks with her background dancers. Diplo and Steve Aiko also make cameos.

Watch "No Problems" here:

And in other new music....

 photo rip-remix.jpg

Young Jeezy has updated his 2 Chainz-assisted track "R.I.P." with a remix that calls YG, Kendrick Lamar and Chris Brown to the mic.  During his part of the track, Chris Brown raps “If you started from the bottom, gon’ and come out the closet", which might be a slight dig at Drake and his sexuality. Hmmm...shots fired?

Listen to the "R.I.P." remix here:

Model Chanel Iman covers the "Women Who Rock" issue of GALORE Magazine with a 70s glam-inspired photoshoot done by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth.  Inside the mag, the world famous model dished on her female influences, her alter ego, what it's like to be loved by fans and her favorite designers.  Here are the highlights:

Alex Catarinella: Chanel Iman! How’s it going being one of the biggest supermodels on the planet?

Chanel Iman: I’ve been working my ass off! I just got back from Mexico shooting for H&M and I just walked in the Jason Wu show at New York Fashion Week. There’s a lot going on and I’m just glad to be working. I’m happy this year. I know what I’m doing and what my goals are. You’ll see a lot coming my way.

AC: That makes me overly excited. Can you remember your first “OMFG! I am a supermodel!” moment?

CI: My fans make me feel that way. I’m so grateful for my fans because they inspire me everyday to keep going. The sweet messages I receive always just make me feel so loved and appreciated. It makes me want to work harder. I would love to be a leader for our generation in a positive, uplifting way. And my fans give me the inspiration to be that.

AC: FYI, it’s the Women Who Rock issue. What ladies rock Chanel Iman’s wonderful world?

CI: Let me see… Beyoncé, Oprah, Michelle Obama, Alicia Keys, Halle Berry. There’s a lot of women out there who rock who I look up to. I think Ellen [von Unwerth] rocks. It’s my first time working with her but it’s definitely not my last. She’s awesome.

AC: I’ve gotta say, it did seem like Ellen brought out your Sasha Fierce on set. Which brings me to ask: do you have an alter ego?

CI: Of course. Everybody should have an alter ego.

AC: Does she have a name?

CI: I don’t think I would name my alter ego. That’s corny. It just comes out. I let it speak for itself.

And in other "model" revelations......

British supermodel Jourdan Dunn recently appeared on Jonathan Ross' UK talk show where the Victoria's Secret model talked about the time she flashed Justin Bieber.  She said,

‘During rehearsals my segment was the VS Pink with Justin Bieber. During rehearsals him and his dancers were actually there and for some reason, I don’t know why, I decided to wear a top that was low cut and no bra.

‘So I go down, do my thing, do my pose and then I come off and then everyone was like ‘oh my god Jourdan everyone saw your boob.’
 

So what did Justin think about the model "revelation"?  He told her, ‘You’ve got nice t*ts because you flashed to me and my dancers, made our day.’

That exchange led to a little awkward flirting.  ‘So then after the show we was chilling with Justin and he was kind of flirting with me and I kind of felt a bit awkward because he’s this little boy. He was 18 but I’m old enough to be his older sister, it’s kind of a bit weird. I laughed after it because he was 18 at the time and I was like ‘why not, flirt with the models, do your thing.’

And we all know from the amount of trouble he continuously gets into....Justin Bieber is indeed doing his thing.

Lance Gross Dishes On His Own Temptations...And The Criticism Around His Co-Star's Acting SKills

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 05:05 AM PDT

Lance Gross has been making his rounds promoting his new film in theaters this weekend, Temptation.  And he told Huff Post Black Voices about the criticism surrounding one of his co-star's acting skills (or lack thereof), and whether he's had his own "Temptation" style drama with any of his past girlfriends....

One of our fave hotties let the world know just how well he treats his women (damn, what happened Eva Marcille?) and why he feels like people need to fall back on slamming his co-stars.  Here's what he had to say:

Last year upon the announcement of the film’s cast, there was a ton of criticism surrounding Kim Kardashian’s role. What were your thoughts on the situation?

I’ve been working with Tyler since 2007 and he has a great business mind. He knows what he’s doing and he knows what he wants for his films. So I don’t really question his decisions in casting people. To Kim’s defense, she did a great job. The role that he gave her was well thought out. It was something that he believed she could execute. And I think she brought her “A-game.” I get what all the fuss was about, but at the end of the day you got to give people a chance. And I feel like she really proved herself.

Throughout your career you've been viewed as a heartthrob. With that said, have you ever found yourself in a position similar to your character?

Man, I’ve never been through a situation like this. I mean, of course as a man you go through that. If you got a dope girl there’s going to be people that want her. But I don’t know, I’ve always kept my “A-game” on point. I just make a point to make sure the woman that I’m with is taken care of. You got to keep it new, so I go out of my way to make them feel special. My thing is, if I’m going to be with you, I’m going to be with you to make you feel like this is the best relationship that you ever had. And that’s what I aim for to make sure none of this happens to me.

Since you’ve never experienced any issues in your personal life, was that a challenge in preparing for the role?

It was and it wasn’t. Because I have a lot of friends who are married and who have dealt with infidelity, so I pretty much picked their brains and experienced it through them. And for me, personally, everyone has experienced losing someone. Whether it’s a relationship that fell apart or death, everyone knows that feeling. So that’s where I pretty much pulled from for this.

 

Well isn't that sweet?  Meanwhile, social media is buzzing with people talking about hitting the theaters to see Tyler Perry's newest flick.  It'll be interesting to see the numbers ta the end of the weekend.  Check out the full interview over at Huff Post.

Are you going to see Temptation?

Meet The Newest Reality Star Who's Stirring Up Controversy: "Real World" Star Marlon Williams Admits To Sex With A Man...But Denies He's Gay OR BiSexual

Posted: 30 Mar 2013 04:00 AM PDT

Former Texas Tech football player Marlon Williams, who stars on MTV's "Real World: Portland",  opened up about his budding rapper career and his controversial views on sexuality during his promo rounds.  Meet the preacher's kid inside....

 

Marlon Williams, one of the stars of MTV's "Real World: Portland", opened up about his life and the interesting back story viewers will see unfold on the show this season.  And to answer the question we know you're asking: No, we didn't know "Real World" still came on.  Hence, why the network seems ready to stir up some controversy.

But alas, a new season is on deck and a black roommate is front and center.  The former Texas Tech footballer player is the son of a preacher man and spent most of his young life traveling as a military brat.  After failing to go "pro" following a successful football stint in college, he went through a period which led to a few interesting choices, including sex with a man. In interviews with XXL and The Advocate, he talks about sexuality, his budding rap career, and explains his views on religion.  Here are the highlights:

 

The Advocate: OK, this is awkward. MTV tells us “Marlon has had intercourse with a man before and does identify with being bisexual. But he says that he is more attracted to women and doesn't think he would be with a man again.” We could just take their word for it, but we’d rather you tell us yourself how you identify and why.

Marlon Williams: Well, I don't consider myself bisexual, because I'm not sexually attracted to men. I did have sex with a man but my reasoning for it was different. It was in a hectic time of my life filled with fighting a lot of life battles. I was just making a lot of decisions that I would not normally make. At that time in my life the gay community embraced me, and it is one of those things that just happened. I have nothing against people who are bisexual or gay, but that is not my preference.

You’re the son of a preacher and were raised with conservative values. Does that cause conflict for you in terms of your sexuality?


Well, sex in any form is hard, because the beliefs of my parents say that you are supposed to wait for marriage. The big misconception used in religion is that some sin is worse than others. That isn't true. All sin is equal. Therefore, anything I do that is sinful can be forgiven if I repent and make changes. My belief is that God forgives anybody who believes and wants a new start in life.

You were a star football player at Texas Tech and were under a lot of pressure to turn pro. Do you ever resent the way other people put those kind of expectations or dreams on your shoulders?


I feel that people having high expectations of me is a good thing. That means they see great things in your character and motivation. I don't agree with the how people treated me when I didn't meet their expectations, though. It's my life, I'm going to live it the way I want. I'm still the same person. It's just sometimes life throws you curveballs and you have to make adjustments.

What are you working on now?

I’m in the studio a lot. I just performed at SXSW. I’ve opened up for Slim Thug, Z-Ro, Mike Jones, Ying Yang Twins. I’ve been doing it, bro. I’ve got two mixtapes out, you can check them out at www.wavysquad.com. Go get those jams. Actually while we were in Portland recording the show, me and Anastasia, another girl from the show, we did music there. We recorded stuff based on what we were going through out there and our life experiences during “The Real World.” We’re gonna put that out this summer.

 

"Real World: Portland" airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.  By the way, MTV aired a vintage "Real World" marathon last weekend starting from season 1 in New york.  It reminded us of how great this show used to be.

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 05:07 PM PDT

Jennifer Williams may no longer be a "Basketball Wife."  But she's already in talks for her own reality show.  Deets inside, plus the "T.I. & Tiny" season 3 super trailer....

 

After parting ways with her frenemy Evelyn Lozada and the "Basketball Wives," Jen Williams has been focusing on her new Lucid lip gloss line.  So she's reportedly been in talks with "Love & Hip Hop" executive producer Mona Scott Young about creating her own reality series.  And we assume it'll be focused on her business ventures...and her boyfriend Cisco.

She told VH1 at the "Gossip Game" premiere party this week that she and Mona are indeed in talks to do a new show.  And we're sure VH1 would welcome that with open arms.  As if they turn anything down.

Jen also made it known she and Ev are still not friends.  Obvi.

 

 

Get More:

And in other reality show news, T.I. & Tiny are about to embark on a third season of their VH1 reality show.  And the super trailer just dropped.  Lots of love is in the air for all their kids....from Zonnique to King to Major.  Good luck handling all that.  The new season kicks off April 8th at 10p.

Texas is in the building.  H-Town and other parts of the Lone Star State rounded up their rappers for a remix to Beyonce's promo track "I Been Down".  Check out Bun B, Scarface and co. inside....

The fellas take their turns with the second half of Beyonce's newest bold track--dripped, draped, chopped & screwed style.

Bun tweeted: This for Pimp C. Screw. H Town. PA. @beyonce @donke713 @slimthugga @williedlive @brothermob @zromocitydon #IBeenOnRemix

Rihanna Named #1 POP Star By British TV, Fires A Few Shots

Posted: 29 Mar 2013 01:48 PM PDT

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-29at42717PM_zps9ee7c9d6.png

Put ya guns in the air....Rihanna's on a firing spree.  After she was named Britain's #1 Pop star, she gave her own rant to other chicks in the game.  Check it inside...

Rihanna celebrated on Instagram today after a British music tv station named her the Most Influential Pop Star.  The UK's 4Music channel based their decision on social media activity, air play and press coverage.

Similar to MTV's Hottest MC's List  (like many pissed rappers believe), Britain's list didn't include talent or quality of music.  And while we know Rihanna lives out her life on Instagram with no guards up, releases most tracks off her albums as singles and stays in the press with her fun and sometimes controversial antics, it's understandable why she's deemed #1 by the music channel.

Beyonce came in at #2 and Katy Perry (Rih's good friend) landed at #4.

But not everybody's happy for the Rude Gal.   Some folks went off when they saw Rihanna's announcement on Instagram....and her words that went with it.

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-29at44004PM_zpsd451f891.png

Rihanna said she could use a challenge, and asked how it felt to be down there on ya knees.  She clowned about controlling your heauxs and owning this lane.   And in usual Rih Rih form, it was pretty hilar.

But a few Beyonce stans and Ciara stans (remember that beef with CiCi?) took to her page to go off commenting:

#BEYHIVE BEEN ON BXTCH

and

Whoa ho ho bad gal rih just learned how to master the three octaves she can sing now we all must get on our knees alright alright im bowing! Lol congrats tho always nice to see success

And Rih's fans replied with statements like:

Bow down bitchez. Lol! #PourItUp #whosthequeen #phuckyohaterz

Rih also said, "It's only March people... #2013isalreadyowned #staytuned #MoneyOvaBitchez."

Was this Rih's answer to Bey's "Bow Down"?  Who knows...especially because Beyonce never said the song was only aimed to women in the industry as opposed to her haters in general.  However, Rihanna's statement seemed aimed soley at her peers.  But certainly not ALL her peers since her bestie is in the top 3 as well.  But you decide...

Either way, we hope Rih pours some up and celebrates.  Congrats.

FOURTH Year In A ROW! Chicago's Urban Prep Academy Sending 100% Of Its GRADUATES To COLLEGE

For the fourth year in a row, Chicago's Urban Prep Academy is sending 100% of its graduating class off to college.  Get the deets inside on the school that is setting the example for America.....

 

Just when you thought the next generation's success was questionable due to their lives being run by Twitter, Instagram, social media and reality tv, at least one specific group is constantly excelling.

For the fourth year in a row, Chicago's Urban Prep Charter Academies can proudly announce that all of its graduating seniors have been accepted to four-year universities.

This year, Urban Prep, the all male charter school excelling in a city facing the worst crime stats in America, is sending off 167 seniors (from their Englewood and University Village campuses) to institutions of higher education.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel spoke about the accomplishment saying, "What this 100 percent proves beyond a doubt is that it need not be the exception but it should be the expectation for every child in the city of Chicago."

Urban Prep founder Tim King expressed his excitement saying, "It's really heartwarming. It's really an inspiration. These guys are an inspiration to all of us because they show you what can happen when you really work hard and do the right thing. I feel great. There are no words to describe how powerful and wonderful it is to be a part of Urban Prep."
 

The country's first all-male charter high school started in 2002 out of a need to cater in an innovative way, to boys in the city.  Approximately 85% of Urban Prep students are low-income and nearly all are African-American. 

The school--which operates off a lottery system and open to any Chicago resident 9th graders--has proven once again that succeeding in education is not about how much money or access your family has, it's about an unparalleled focus on students and the best teachers possible. 

Watch a clip from the graduation ceremony above.  Congrats to the young men!
