The adorable baby girl above has a precocious smile that matches her "proud" mother.  Can you guess who her celebrity mom is?  The answer's inside...

In the age of social media, the cutie pie shortcake above was born in secret!  Most never knew the celebrity mom was even pregnant until AFTER the birth!  Then we also learned the indentity of the cutie pie's father (who's a tattoo artist).
  

Wait for it.....

Kyla, who stars on BET's "Let's Stay Together," may not have shared pregnancy photos, but now that little Lyric is up and around, she's posting tons of pics of her little angel.  She even gave her a little pedicure sharing, "Got home from work a little late & my baby took over my nail appointment. Matching Toes with my mini me."

Cute!

Ashanti jetted from press op to press op yesterday in New York with her doggies in tow.  And she rocked a fitted floral paneled dress, her shades and a fur.  Her bodyguards kept folks at bay...we think.

Rapper DMX and former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield are two of the famous faces who'll pop up in sessions with life coach Iyanla Vanzant  on the upcoming season of "Iyanla: Fix My Life." Watch a preview inside and get the deets on shows starring La Toya Jackson and Kym Whitley.

 photo sheree-whitfield-restraining-order.jpg

Oprah's OWN network hit upon ratings gold when Iyanla Vanzant sat down with controversial "BBW" star Evelyn Lozada last year, and now season two of "Iyanla: Fix My Life" follows the same format with rapper DMX and former "RHOA" star Sheree Whitfield working through their issues.  

In the explosive season premiere, Iyanla travels to the hometown of the multi-platinum rapper DMX where she tackles one of the most controversial sessions of her career.  And the two get off to a rocky start when DMX shows up high for one of his meetings with Iyanla.  From the preview alone, it screams "must-see."  

And in a future episode, Iyanla will sit down with both Sheree Whitfield and her ex-husband Bob Whitfield as they reveal how they truly feel about one another and learn to co-parent.    Something tells me they will need more than Iyanla.  And we hope they address Sheree's delusions of grandeur.

Watch a preview of DMX's episode here:

Tune in to the season premiere of Iyanla: Fix My Life Saturday, April 13, at 10/9c.

 

Also on OWN this season...

Previously, we told you that La Toya Jackson would be among the famous faces kicking off a new season over at OWN and now we have more deets about her show.  According to the press release,

“Life With La Toya” takes viewers inside the outrageous world of La Toya Jackson—the wild card of one of showbiz’s most famous families—as she tackles love, career and maybe even parenthood, all on her own unpredictable terms. The new reality series gets up close and personal as La Toya hunts for a new house, builds new business ventures, contemplates starting a family and perhaps the biggest of all --- jumps into the dating pool for the first time, ever. On board for her new adventures are La Toya’s devoted business partner Jeffré, her legendary mom and dad, a pair of meddlesome matchmakers, a magician, a lovelorn lifeguard and La Toya’s lifelong best gal-pal Kathy Hilton (yes, Paris’ mom). La Toya also opens up about her tumultuous past darkened by an abusive ex-husband, the death of her brother and family feuds."

 

And then there's Kym Whitley....

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-06at82421AM.png

Funnywoman and voice-over queen Kym Whitley will star in "Raising Whitley” where we will watch her become a first time mother with the help of a core group of friends called "The Village.” Kym found herself gifted with a little boy named Joshua after a young woman, whom she was mentoring, abandoned him and left Kym as the only contact number. Who knew?

Over the season, Kym learns the chaotic realities of becoming a full-time mom.

#7 Kanye Pops Back At MTV's Hottest MC List + Wiz & Amber Announce Their Baby's Celebrity GODFATHER

Posted: 06 Mar 2013 06:26 AM PST

 photo kanye-west-hip-hop-glasses_zpsab9d77e9.jpg

Kanye West rarely gives interviews.  But when he does, they're always a doozy.  Check out what he had to say about the annual Hottest MC's list and how he feels about being #7, plus which rapper Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose have named as baby Sebastian's godfather...

 

DJ Enuff on Hot 97 caught up with Kanye about MTV's Hottest MC's list.  And while 'Ye was happy for his homies who made it, he felt some type of way about being named #7 himself.  He also had some interesting choices as for who should have been at #1.  And he went at Sway Calloway too.

DJ Enuff: I saw you on the list. You came at #7 on the MTV list. That’s wassup.
Kanye: That was cool and everything. More than anything, I’m happy for Sean, but I feel like he should be on top 5. He’s bodying records, like the way he started off that “Mercy.”

So you think you and Sean should be top 5 definitely? Maybe top 3? I know you, ‘Ye. To me, you’re gonna say you’re the number one rapper in the world. Number 7, does this bother you?
Yeah, number 7 bothers me. I think that [Lil] Wayne is the number one rapper in the world.

You think Wayne is the number one rapper in the world?
Yeah, I just think he’s like, you know, him and Jay and Em and certain people are just the greatest rappers of all time. For me I feel that in order for them to put me as number 7, they had to bring up things that they didn’t like.

So you think [them not liking certain songs of yours] is what puts you at number seven as opposed to number five, four, three, two, one?
I don’t think it’s them really going bar for bar. I said, “Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.” Ain’t no bar, ain’t no bar in the entire past 12 months that’s hotter than that bar. That’s one bar! I come from this battle rap, that’s how I grew up in Chicago. I couldn’t believe it. I gave Sway his first TV. He came over to my crib in Newark, NJ. I was living in Newark doing beats for Jay and Beans and all them and I was getting a new TV and I gave Sway his first TV. And really I didn’t really wanna even like call to talk about the number seven list, I just wanna tell everybody that I gave Sway his first TV. And he need to remember that.

Oh 'Ye.  Weezy responded with a Thank You message on twitter, and Sway responded with this:

And in other rap news, Baby Sebastian Taylor just met his godfather.  It's Wiz Khalifa's good friend, rapper Curren$y.  Amber Rose tweeted this week:

Yay! I'm so excited 4 Sebastian 2 meet his godfather @CurrenSy_Spitta today! This Lil boy has so much family & Love... It's such a blessing

And Curren$y responded, "He's a king..... The family is royal .... See yall soon"

Sweet!  By the way, Cam (Wiz) and Amber celebrated their two year anniversary this week and tweeted each other sweet nothings.  Congrats.

Ciara Kisses On Future & Twitter Beefs With Rihanna's Bestie Melissa + Trina Tags Along With Rumored Boo French Montana At Hot 97

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 04:48 PM PST

 photo BEn1oNKCAAA1t0a_zpsa5baeca5.jpg

Another day, another Twitter beef.  Ciara and her fans have been involved in some social media drama with Rihanna's best friend Melissa Forde.  And posted a pic with her boo Future, who she called "her rockstar," to show she's over it.

 

Get the deets inside, plus French Montana and Trina acting like they're not a couple...

We all know pop princesses Rihanna and Ciara have had some rocky times and cattiness between the two of them.  And today, it surfaced once again with Rihanna's best friend Melissa doing some Twitter dirty work. 

Last night, Melissa tweeted a pic of herself and Rihanna and a friend looking at a phone, and she referenced Ciara's "Body Party" bathroom a cappella rendition:

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at63231PM_zpsffabba07.png

We're still unsure how this was "shade" being thrown, but Ciara's stans didn't take kindly to it and started going in.  Ciara RT'd the comment and told her to grow up:

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at63529PM_zpsad1c46e6.png

And today, the feud continued.  After Melissa got dragged through the Twitter mud by Ci's fans for being a tag-a-long and for looking "hard faced", she responded with a snap at Ciara's "C-Squad" calling them small:

 photo Screen-Shot-2013-03-05-at-191546_zpsbb25f860.png

Ciara's biggest fan site had to clap back.  And they said:

Teeeheee.

Even Future got in on the beef tweeting today, "Tell dem thirsty hoes fall back."

Oh the thirst of it all...

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at72016PM_zps0323c5ac.png

 

In other news, French Montana rolled to Angie Martinez's show on Hot 97.  And randomly brought Trina along.  Neither of them like to admit the rumors of them being a couple are true, but they are surely ALWAYS together. 

French started acting awkward and shy about Trina while Angie asked him about Trina.  Then Trina hopped on the mic to sing his praises about how great he is in the studio....esp. since he executive produced her new mixtape.

Clippers Baller Lamar Odom FALLS ASLEEP During Custody Battle With "Starter Wives Confidential" Star Liza Morales

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 04:14 PM PST

 photo spl506182_006_zps6cdb908a.jpg

Lamar Odom, who's currently battling "Starter Wives Confidential" star Liza Morales for custody of their two kids, fell asleep in court today.  Get more deets on the court battle that put Lamar out for the count inside...

 

Last night, LA Clippers star Lamar Odom headed to Catch in NYC where he and Khloe Kardashian dined. But it's today's business that had him out of it.  The baller was in NYC to tend to his ongoing custody battle (pictured above leaving court today) with now former "Starter Wives Confidential" star Liza Morales over their two children.  A large part of thehttp://www.tmz.com/2013/03/05/lamar-odom-fighting-baby-mama-custody-cour... Visit the TMZ Store: http://tmzstore.com"> battle focuses on child support and visitation, and whether the kids are allowed to appear on their reality TV shows. Though "Starter Wives" was cancelled, the kids could potentially appear on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

And since Liza and Lamar are no longer on speaking terms, most of the fighting was done by their lawyers behind closed doors.  But while the lawyers were fighting, Lamar couldn't find the strength to stay awake.  The NY Post says the 6 foot 10 baller had stretched out on a courthouse bench and fell asleep, only to be awakened by a Manhattan courthouse officer wo demanded him to sit up--likely checking to make sure he wasn't a well dressed homeless man or something.  His sleepy time was blamed on "jet lag."

Although Liza isn't speaking to Lamar, she is speaking to the rest of the world as she published an open letter in The Daily Beast where she detialed their relationship and the heartache she felt when he married Khloe.  Here's a snippet, 

"I don’t think I’ll forget the tight knot I felt in the pit of my stomach the morning I received the text message with three simple words on the screen. It read 'I’m getting married’ and it was from the man I’d spent more than 10 years of my life with.

“Years that included us getting engaged in 2000 and becoming parents to one daughter and two sons. Yet not long after our separation Lamar Odom was getting married to Khloe Kardashian, a woman he’d met four weeks before.”

“How could the man who’d constantly given me reason after reason for why we couldn’t get married just yet now be ready to tie the knot so quickly? There aren’t words to explain how I felt that day.”

Read the full letter here.

SIDEBAR: Another Kardashian husband, Kris Humphries, also dined at Catch last night (Lamar pictured above leaving), but he didn't cross paths with Khloe and Lamar.  If they had seen each other, Lamar told TMZ he would have said "What's Up."  How cordial.

Keri Hilson Gets IN HER FEELINGS, Tells The "Haters" To LEAVE HER ALONE!

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 02:03 PM PST

 photo keri-hilson-mad_zps9bbc22c1.jpg

Keri Hilson is mad y'all.  She's in her feelings on Twitter going off about being done enduring all the criticisms from her "haters."  And she's demanding folks to leave her the hell alone.

 

Deets inside...

 

"Pretty Girl Rock" singer Keri Hilson went on a Twitter rant recently to express her annoyance with the hateful messages and tweets aimed at her.  And instead of logging off or simply not reading people's responses, she got her feelings into a tizzy about random people's criticisms.

Apparently, some folks are still railing her for that line from her "Turnin' Me On" song Beyonce stans believed was aimed at their Queen Bey:

"Your vision cloudy if you think that you the best/ You can dance, she can sing, but need to move it to the left..."

Keri denied it was about Mrs. Knowles Carter, and then rumors hit the net that she refused to hold up a certain magazine with Beyonce on the cover when she was at an event for the publication.  And rumors about a Keri/Beyonce beef have been flowing ever since.

Keri has said many times there is no beef between the two, but she can't get away from people calling her lame and wack and giving her harsh criticisms via social media and publications.  So she got fed up this week and wrote this ish:

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at45849PM_zps5805b96a.png

“I’m here for MY FANS! I’m stronger than you imagine, but waking up/goin to bed to your ugliness is just TOO MUCH, kids. I get it, ok? You can stop now.”

Chile...

To be quite honest, we didn't even know Keri was still trying to continue a singing career as we haven't really heard (or paid attention to) much outside of her recent sexy Mexico vacay with boyfriend Serge Ibaka (pictured below):

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at35608PM_zps9ff98908.png

So who is hating and why?  Is this all an exaggeration of just a few random people saying stupid things (like they do to EVERY celeb)?  Or does she have a point?

If she wants our advice....we suggest she sit back, collect those writing checks and go be with that sexy ass man of hers. And ignore the foolery like stars who know they are stars do.

She's also working on a third album with Timbaland to be released this year.  Do you boo.

CLAP BACK: Kelly Rowland RESPONDS To Keyshia Cole With A Subtle READ + Malik Yoba TELLS Female Reporter To SUCK IT?

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 11:18 AM PST

 photo KellyRowlandJadenSmithPerformsBETRipqBYN-_bfTKYl.jpg

Kelly Rowland has spoken her piece about Keyshia Cole's Twitter comments about Michelle Williams during the Super Bowl (yeah, we're STILL talking about this), basically telling her...you're not THAT famous.  See what Kelly said inside and find out what part of his body Malik Yoba told a reporter she could put her lips on.....

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Kelly Rowland was asked about Twitter comments that Keyshia Cole made about Michelle Williams' performance during their Destiny's Child reunion at the Super Bowl.  And BET's Rip The Runway host Miss Kelly snapped Keyshia down to size about her fame, popularity and relevance.   In just a couple sentences...

You reunited with Destiny's Child at the Super Bowl. Keyshia Cole received some blowback for criticizing Michelle Williams' performance on Twitter. Do you have any thoughts on her comments?


It didn't even make it on my radar until other people brought it up. It didn't even matter. We had a wonderful performance, and that's all I cared about. I was with my sisters and the three of us matter to each other, and that's all that counts. We matter to a lot more people, with all due respect, than her. So, I really don't care what she said.

Ouch.....

Also, Kelly gave a few hints about the theme of her upcoming disc, Talk A Good Game....

Kisses Down Low" is a flirty, fun song. Is this indicative of the direction of Talk a Good Game?

"Kisses Down Low" is just a piece of the story of Talk a Good Game. I'm really honest on this album. There's another song that I have, "Dirty Laundry." Even the title track is about relationships – the ins, the outs – all the interesting moments of relationships. I'm really ready for people to hear this album. It's kind of hard to keep it to myself.


"Dirty Laundry" is an intriguing title. Are you naming names?

It's the first time I've been so stripped away and naked. I had help with that, and that help was the-Dream. I was in the studio with Dream and he said, "I just want you to get deeper. The people want more. They want to be led into your life and know more about you." And I said, "Oh, God!" It's really nervous, because you don't know what people are going to say. In this moment, I really don't care. [Laughs]


Who are you collaborating with on the new album?

I'm still putting everything together, but I called on some new talent from Canada, like T-Minus and Boi-1da, who I love being in the studio with. Kevin Cossum, who just pulls melody out of his ears, Rock City, who completely know how to ride a beat and a cadence that's crazy, and Mike WiLL's genius-osity – I'm gonna make up a word – where he just knows what the streets are talking about.

Talk a Good Game drops later this year.

 

In other snappy comments.....

 photo MalikYobaHamptonsMagazineMorrocanoilCelebraterA9B0-g6bfGl.jpg

One journalist found out that hard way that Malik Yoba monitors his Twitter mentions and doesn't take kindly to comments about his lips ...even if you think they're ashy!

Check out their exchange...

 photo ScreenShot2013-03-05at10325PM.png

Malik's now deleted his comments but posted about people not saying ANYTHING if you have nothing nice to say.  Thanks to Kid Fury, we've got the screengrabs.  She tried to come back and make it seem like she was the bigger person (or that she was actually offering a compliment).  We have no clue who she is, but apparently this was her way of letting people know....

Later, Malik did come back with a more classy response saying....

Gotta love that D-list drama and foolery!  For a couple weeks now, rumors have been spreading that Deelishis--formerly of "Flavor of Love" and now getting paid to floss her booty at clubs--got jumped after leaving a strip club in her hometown of Detroit.  Some reports falsely made up a story about it being angry strippers who did this damage.  But the actual report from the Detroit News pegs her ex-husband Orlando Gordon as the culprit.

 

Deets inside and why Deelishis claims the rumors of her sexing a local comic and being chased out the window by her ex husband aren't true....

Remember when Deelishis was married to the "upstanding" Orlando Gordon of Detroit back in 2008?  And she became a "wholesome" mom of a few kids.  And then ish went left when she blasted him on Facebook for cheating in 2010?  Now, 5 years later, Orlando is possibly still be cutting up while Deelishis is back to putting her ass on display for money.

Recently, Deelishis (real name Chandra London Davis) posted pics of her arm and foot in a cast after leaving one of many hosting duties.  And for days after, she didn't explain what happened, and only said she would be "just fine."

Now that the story has broken about what allegedly really went down, Dee--who has been cast in some type of blackbuster film called The Ultimatum-- is giving her side.  And it involves her ex husband Orlando, who is waiting trial for drug trafficking (and he once claimed to own a club, real estate company and landscaping business).

The Detroit News reported this week:

Gordon was free on bond and awaiting trial in federal court at the time of the alleged incident.

He was indicted in January 2012 along with more than a dozen others and accused of participating in a drug-trafficking operation involving thousands of pounds of cocaine and marijuana.

Prosecutors asked a federal judge Thursday to revoke Gordon’s bond due, in part, to the alleged assault. U.S. District Judge Sean Cox will consider the request March 12.

Court records and a police report portray a violent incident Sunday at the reality show star’s home on Muer Cove north of 13 Mile, where Deelishis lives with her two daughters.

At 4:20 a.m., Gordon smashed through the front door and struck Deelishis in the face, according to court records.

Deelishis, who had been sleeping in her daughter’s bedroom, ran to her bedroom, where her friend was asleep.

The friend? Michael Blackson, a popular stand-up comic known as the African King of Comedy.

Gordon chased the comic and hit him in the face, according to court records.

Deelishis, meanwhile, locked the bedroom door. Gordon tried to get in, prompting Deelishis to rip open the window screen and jump to the ground, according to police.

“Davis was in a lot of pain from her right wrist,” police said. “Davis also had blood on her right hand.”

She was taken to Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital, police said.

According to their report, this Michael Blackson--a local celebrity and comic--is at least part of the drama.    But Deelishis went off on Instagram denying that.  And also says she didn't hop out anybody's window.

 I DONT 'OWE' ANYBODY SHIT, ESPECIALLY NOT ANY EXPLANATIONS BUT THIS RADIO STATION OUT OF TOWN JUST BURNED MY BISCUITS IF I HAD BALLS THEY'D BE SQUEEZED TO THE MAX PISSED! STOP JUST REPORTING ANYTHING YOU HEAR! I HAD A LITTLE ACCIDENT YOU FUCKER, IT HAPPENS IM GOOD, IM NOT SUPERWOMAN LEAPING FROM TALL BUILDINGS AND FOR THE LIFE OF ME I AM NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT SCREWING DATING SUCKING FUCKING LICKING TRICKING ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT WITH @therealmichaelblackson (SCREAMING TO THE OF MY LUNGES) CAN A BITCH LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE (NOW MY HEAD JUST SPENT AROUND LIKE THE EXORCIST .......OK IM BACK..."AND NOW I ONLY WANT WORLD PEACE MY LOVES

Meanwhile, Deelishis' engagement ring and Rolex were seized by the Feds in connection to Orlando's investigation, as well as more than $1 million in cash, classic cars and more than $130,000 in jewelry. WOMP.

She's real open about every aspect of her life...except this "accident".  Interesting.  Meanwhile, this is what Dee has been up to lately:

Mimi Faust's NEW Man Nikko Explains "Gay Rumors", SLAMS K. Michelle As A BULLY & HOMEWRECKER

Posted: 05 Mar 2013 10:00 AM PST

Mimi Faust's new boyfriend Nikko (the man behind all the Mimi/K. Michelle drama) is speaking out and saying that he's not gay and K. Michelle is just a homewrecking bully.  Watch the interview inside...

 

Well....K. Michelle said Mimi Faust's new man was after the spotlight, and even before "LAHH ATL" airs, he's ALREADY doing interviews!   The man behind the drama between K. Michelle and Mimi Faust talked to CottenKandi.com recently where he talked about rumors about his sexuality and he let loose about what he really thought about K. Michelle.  

And we thought it necessary to point out how "modest' he comes across as he describes himself as a "trendy art hipster with sex appeal" and how he plays up his role on season 2 of "LAHH ATL." Here are the highlights:

On Mimi Faust:

We’ve known each other for 12 years and we recently started rekindling. We recently saw each other so I say about a good four or five months we been going out.

On K. Michelle being a bully and homewrecker

You have to look at [it]; she really doesn’t have a male figure in her life and a lot of issues even on the show with bullying. She has war with anybody. She doesn’t really know me. We met twice for her to make those rumors and opinion.  That’s what it is her opinion. She don’t really know me–it could be to take blows at Mimi because Mimi is happy. I see it as a home wrecker and this is what she is known for. Her words won’t validate me so I don’t care. I do have a gay family member and for her to make those comments is a strike on the gay community. I don’t have anything against gay people and I’m not gay.

On his sexuality:

I want to address them by saying I’m not gay. I’m not bisexual and I’m not on the down low. I’m a straight man and heterosexual. Anybody who knows me, and if you want to do your research you can check all this out. There’s a slew of guys that know me and know what I’m about. The way I raise myself is that I’m a street kid from Brooklyn. So anybody that knows me from Brooklyn, they can tell you my resume.

On how he makes his money:

I’m focusing on, right now, just building my brand. My production company is called Voxy Music. I got two other acts that I’m signing to me right now. But right now I’m focused on the Nikko and Johnny project, which I just shot two videos for and we’re putting that out. We got the first video scheduled to be released in about two weeks. That’s what I’m focused on right now, the Nikko and Johnny project. It’s gonna hit the airwaves soon.

On "LAHH ATL"

I’m absolutely on the show. You’re going to have to wait until the show comes on to see what I will be doing. I’m doing a lot of things but I can’t give away the story lines.
 

So, there you have it.  We guess.
