International fashionistas (in good and bad ways) Nicki Minaj and Solange having been flaunting their assets and fabulous bods all over Instagram. See their latest pics inside and get the deets on what the ladies are up to....

 

Courtesy of Scaff Beezy, Nicki's hypeman/rumored boo, Nicki Minaj RT'd his throwback photo of her ta-tas on her Instagram recently.  It's actually a pic from the set of her W magazine cover shoot from last year.

And in addition to surfing through vintage photos, the rapstress is back on her "features" grind and recently posted a photo from the set of Wale's upcoming video for "Clappers" with Juicy J.  It seems like Nicki is deep into her "features" hustle since chick has hopped on pretty much every single that's on the radio right now--French Montana also recently called on her to lend a hand, she's on Mario's "Somebody Else' track all over the airwaves.

And she recently lent her Jamaican accent to Busta Rhymes' Pharrell-produced new song "Twerk It" Check out the BTS video of the twerk offs that all the big booty chicks are about to re-enact in their living rooms:

We're not mad at her for getting money!

 

And over in Croatia.......

Solange Knowles let her box braids hang low after a whirlwind schedule of performances around the globe for her True EP.  She tweeted, "6 shows. 5 days. 7 flights. 5 countries. And now. A 4 day vacation." Nice!

The flawless singer showed off her hot bikini bod while laying out in a cute printed bandeu bikini with high wasited bottoms.

And through a series of Vine videos from the exotic locale, we see Solange taking a swim in the ocean, strutting down the sidewalk and switching up her hairstyles.

Check out Solange taking a dip in the waters of Croatia below:

 

And one more...

Fun times.....

So....Singer Christine Vest Just Gave Birth To Dwight Howard's Baby.....& Snatched Kim Kardashian's Maternity Ward Suite!

Dwight Howard is a baby's daddy for the 3rd (or 4th) time.  There's at least 2 other women said to have or are about to have his baby. 

 

As of yesterday, singer Christine Vest...who plays the innocent Holy Roller card much like Dwight....just became his newest baby mama.  Deets inside on how Royce Reed called them out, and how Christine prevented Kim K. from getting the maternity suite she wanted...

While fitness queen Hope Alexis was being exposed on the internet streets back in February for secretly having Dwight Howard's baby girl (who is now a toddler), there were rumblings that Dwight had another baby on the way with his secret girlfriend Christine Vest.  We first posted about her dating Dwight in June 2011.

And it looks like all is true.  Neither Christine nor Dwight have confirmed they are dating or have dated (if anything, Christine has issued some subtle denials). And all of a sudden, a few weeks ago, she posts the above pic of the twosome hugging with the caption--"My favorite place in the world."

 

 photo ScreenShot2013-06-20at105559AM_zps3a93732b.png

And yesterday, Dwight's original baby mama, Royce Reed, blasted the two on Twitter with the above pic.   First, Christine tweeted, "Im happier than i've ever been."

Then Royce responded while trying to sound nice & congratulatory--while we all know she was doing nothing but being low key messy.  She said, "Congratulations to Dwight & Christine on the birth of their baby boy! Bray has a baby brother!....I hear wedding bells in the future!!!" 

Neither Christine nor Dwight said anything publicly about the baby....and we ALL know Dwight & Royce do not have a good relationship after he tried to sue her multiple times and was one cause of her getting kicked off "Basketball Wives".  So, of course, her message sounded like subtle shade. 

Still, Royce says she was only being nice, "Why some of y’all trynna make drama out of a joyous occasion? If u found a congratulatory message messy check yoself! I’m blunt I don’t sub!

Yeah...OK Royce.

 photo ScreenShot2013-06-20at103240AM_zps4c939d4c.png

For several months now, the guitar playing singer (who is like Taylor Swift meets gospel) hasn't posted many NEW pics of herself.  Her fans have gotten suspicious and have asked questions that she's avoided.  But it looks like the reason is INDEED because she was pregnant...out of wedlock. 

Despite Dwight never acknowledging any of his kids outside of Braylon (his son with Royce), it's pretty clear this dude is slinging his piece in anything he can with no protection.  And continues to do so 3+ baby mamas later. 

Hope he gets the NBA contract he wants next season because this child support is about to get mad expensive...

BONUS: TMZ reports that Kim Kardashian didn't get the maternity VIP suite she wanted at Cedars Sinai Medical Center (she DID deliver 5 weeks early afterall).  And it's all because Dwight's baby mama (who the site did not name but we know it's Christine) was occupying the suite.  Dwight blocks on the court...and off.

A WIN FOR HER: Porsha Stewart Wins SPOUSAL SUPPORT In Latest Divorce Court Development

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 04:49 PM PDT

 photo Porsha-and-Kordell-Stewart_zpsacef0543.jpg

Porsha Stewart just scored a win in this extra messy divorce she's going through with estranged husband Kordell Stewart.  Check out how the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star nabbed spousal support, despite Kordell going hard via legal documents to say she didn't have a right to it.

Whether a pre-nup was in place is still a point of contention.  Kordell's lawyers filed papers saying there would be no division of assets (which means a pre-nup is in place) and he would not pay spousal support since Porsha was "an able bodied person" who could get her own money.

But during this past season of "RHOA," Porsha specifically told the girls she has NO pre-nup with Kordell.  And it looks like it's Porsha who was telling the truth.

A Fulton County Court judge awarded the evangelist turned diva some cash in a spousal support order...so she could keep up her lifestyle on Kordell's dime.  The good folks over at Hip Hop Enquirer nabbed the docs which say that a Superior Judge ruled on the spousal support motion in Porsha's favor, and awarded her $5000 in temporary support.  And if Kordell took anything from her (remember when his low down self changed the locks on poor lil Porsha?), he's been ordered to return it or pay for it to go in storage.

As for which party will be paying the attorney fees, the judge decided to hold off on that ruling...for now.

Time to pay up Kordell...

The aforementioned docs in Stewart vs. Stewart are HERE.

Praying all this plays out on the next season of RHOA....

THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH: Paula Deen ADMITS To USING "N" Word, Accused Of Making BLACK Workers Use SEPARATE Entrances & Restrooms

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 03:22 PM PDT

America's butter-loving southern queen Paula Deen (shown above with Amar'e Stoudemire) is embroiled in a little bit of controversy over her use of the "N"  word.  Get the deets on some of the off-color behavior that Chef Paula and her sons are accused of behind the scenes inside...

 

Charges of racism are being flung at Southern-chef Paula Deen after The National Enquirer published passages from a video of a deposition where Paula admitted to using the N-word and making racist and anti-Semitic jokes.

According to the Huffington Post, the deposition was held on May 17 as part of a court case brought forth by former Paula Deen Enterprises employee Lisa Jackson against Deen and her brother, Earl “Bubba” Hiers. In the suit, Lisa claimed there were several instances of sexual and racial workplace discrimination.

In one particularly salacious story from the deposition, Lisa was asked to plan a wedding for Paula's son Bubba.  Lisa claims Paula said she wanted to do a slave-style wedding.  No, really....she did.  Paula's words:

"I want a true Southern -plantation style wedding.  Well what I would really like is a bunch of little niggers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around.  Now that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it?"

The deposition goes on to claim that Black workers at "Uncle Bubba's Restaurant" were required to use the BACK entrance to pick up their checks, and were all required to use the same bathroom at the BACK of the restaurant (while white employees could use the customer's restrooms).  Also, Blacks employees who worked in the back of the restaurant were not allow to go to the front of the restaurant.  

Elsewhere in the deposition, Lisa goes on the quote Bubba saying things like, "I wish I could put all those niggers (in the kitchen) on a boat back to Africa)."  And, he allegedly said, "They should send President Obama to the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico so he could nigger-rig it."

When asked by lawyers about Lisa's claims, here are direct passages from the interview.

On using the N-word:

Lawyer: Have you ever used the N-word yourself?
Deen: Yes, of course.
Lawyer: Okay. In what context?
Deen: Well, it was probably when a black man burst into the bank that I was working at and put a gun to my head.

Lawyer: Okay. And what did you say?
Deen: Well, I don't remember, but the gun was dancing all around my temple ... I didn't -- I didn't feel real favorable towards him.

Lawyer: Okay. Well, did you use the N-word to him as he pointed a gun in your head at your face?
Deen: Absolutely not.

Lawyer: Well, then, when did you use it?
Deen: Probably in telling my husband.


And on her brother's behavior:

Lawyer: Are you aware of Mr. Hiers admitting that he engaged in racially and sexually inappropriate behavior in the workplace?
...

Deen: I guess

Lawyer: Okay. Well, have you done anything about what you heard him admit to doing?
Deen: My brother and I have had conversations. My brother is not a bad person. Do humans behave inappropriately? At times, yes. I don't know one person that has not. My brother is a good man. Have we told jokes? Have we said things that we should not have said, that -- yes, we all have. We all have done that, every one of us.

 

For her part, Paula Deen's lawyer defended her in a carfefully worded statement that did not deny what was revealed in the deposition.

"Contrary to media reports, Ms. Deen does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable. She is looking forward to her day in court."

Sometimes we wish we didn't know the things we know about celebs.  Especially idiotic statements like this.  And no, we're not giving her points for being "truthful."  She and her brothers seem to "miss" the days of the ole South.  And we're going to have to MISS her mac & cheese recipes that were damn good. Too bad so sad....

"My Neck, My Back" rapper Khia has become a trending topic after she ignited the wrath of Beyonce's beehive by tweeting a few sting-worthy jabs at the Queen Bey.

Among the tweets, Khia accused Bey of ripping the fanclub name "beehive" from Lil' Kim and also said Bey steals and copies from everyone. A few of the most outrageous tweets....

"Woooooooo im scared of the Beyhive ????????????... All of you can stand in line to get swatted by Thugmisses like ya Motha Mammie Bey #should have..."

"MISS me with that "her product is original" bullsh*t. I'll believe that when i can see that hoe name on @ least "1" of her writing credits.."

""I thought the "BeeHive" was @LilKim's team @Beyonce... Hmmmmm... you will never give up the stealing will you, sis... ????????????"

And when the "Beehive" starting swarming around the Thug Misses, Khia came out swinging.

And in new interviews......

 photo jcole2993.png

Rapper J. Cole talked to The Breakfast Club this morning where he promoted the release of his sophmore album Born Sinner. During the interview, the rapper revealed that he had very few reservations about putting his album out the same week as Kanye West's Yeezus disc. He also talk about writing his radio hit "Crooked Smile" featuring TLC.

"I basically had the concept for the song which is talking about my grill. It was about flipping it and getting people to embrace their flaws. So when I finally got the hook of the song, it reminded me of something TLC would sing because they had monster hits with positive songs."

Watch the interview here:

Fans of J. Cole will be able to see the "Power Trip" rapper in NYC tonight with his "Dollar & A Dream" Tour.
