Keyshia Cole knows how to start a pot of ish and keep stirring that ish doesn't she? The "Trust & Believe" singer is back at the Twitter shots. And this time, she's going at Beyonce directly....

Keyshia Cole is mad again y'all.  She has something to say after Bey released her "Bow Down" track last night.  And apparently, Keyshia is in her feelings about bey telling folks "Bow down bitches."

Keyshia tweeted just a few minutes ago a few slams at Mrs. Knowles Carter saying:

First "Women need to Stick together" now bitches better Bow. Smh. But it's all G! Chicks stay shooting the shit. But when I speak my mind its a prob. #Well #StayMad

Can't stand when people all self righteous when it's convenient it makes them look good. Lmao! But can still talk shit when convenient 2 FOH....I done kept it real from the start! #RespectTHAT

And there's more.

When a fan responded with "f*ck yo unity," Keyshia responded with, "Never said there was any. IM not in denial... God Bless."  People's responses are also interesting.

Is Keyshia is her own worst enemy....or should she be able to speak her mind--regardless of who it's about--whenever she please with zero consequences?

I'm pretty sure y'all know my thoughts. But I'm going to let y'all have this one....

P.S. Keyshia's appearing on Jimmy Kimmel tonight to perform....which she informed everyone about after her controversial tweets...

Alleged Baby Mama DROPS Michael Jordan Paternity Case + Bow Wow Ordered To PAY UP $80K To A French Porn Star

Posted: 18 Mar 2013 10:41 AM PDT

 photo MichalJordandismissed_zpsb1c478f3.jpg

Pamela Smith has now DISMISSED her own paternity case against Michael Jordan.  And while Bow Wow was busy celebrating his birthday in Arizona this weekend, he was ordered by a judge to pay a French pornstar what he owes her.  Deets inside...

In another crazy turn of events, Michael Jordan seems to have dodged a child-like bullet today.  While the drama in this paternity case has been unfolding for several weeks, Pamela Smith, the mother of a 16-year-old boy she claims is the son of the basketball legend, has called it quits!  For now at least.

TMZ reports Pamela submitted a request to dismiss her own case today, and the judge granted it without prejudice.  So she's free to file again. 

We reported last week that MJ's request to dismiss the case was denied by the judge in Fulton County court.  And she then demanded a paternity test be done ASAP.

So with Pamela all of a sudden dismissing this case herself, out of the blue, we have to ask.  Was she paid off once MJ saw that this legal drama could wreck havoc on his image and upcoming marriage?  Or did Pamela just all of a sudden remember who the actual father is?  Or does she plan to re-file in a different location?

We have our guess, but oh wells....

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-18at11556PM_zps57330b28.png

Bow Wow may have spent his weekend celebrating his 26th b-day in Arizona (pictured above with green beer in Phoenix's airport yesterday), but he went back to NYC with some bad news.

That lawsuit filed by French porn star Celine Tran has ended with him having to pay her $80,000, according to TMZ.  Back in July 2012, Celine sued Bow for using footage of her dancing in his music video, "Drank In My Cup," without her permission.  He apparently took the footage from a video she was dancing in for the french band Electronic Conspiracy.

She sued, and won.

But there's also good news for Mr. Shad Moses.  He's starring in the upcoming Scary Movie 5 flick.

The Vicks made it a date night as they partied it up with 49er's QB Colin Kaepernick, Allen Iverson and T.I. & Tiny last night.  Check out the celebs having some fun inside...

Former Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick returned to Atlanta last night to party at Mansion Elan.  And he brought his wife Kijafa along with him.  The NFL baller recently cancelled his Finally Free autobiography book signings due to violent threats.  But he was all good with the clubgoers.  And the book tour is now back on--in a different way he says-- as of yesterday.  He visited an ATL church to sign books, instead of the bookstore appearance in the city that was previously cancelled.

All the profits from Saturday's signings were donated to a charity that works with young males serving time in detention centers.

In other news, Halle Berry had a winning weekend at the box office...finally.  She and Morris Chestnut raked in $17.1 mill for their brand new movie The Call.  While that might not sound like a staggering number, the flick still landed at #2 behind Oz ($42.2 mill for the weekend, $145 mill overall), which is in its second week.  Reportedly, the $17 mill is higher than SONY Pictures expected.

Halle's been plagued with box office slumps after she won an Oscar years ago, but things seem to be turning around.

Looks like the cast's full fledged promo run helped out.  Congrats!
