Apparently suggested reports that "American Idol" would be bring back an all-star panel of former contestants (Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson) have broken down and now Jennifer Lopez is heading back to the table.  We told you that there are STRONG rumors that Jenny has been offered $15 Million and we should expect an announcement in a week or two.  

While neither Jennifer Lopez nor FOX have confirmed the return, J. Lo's bedfellow and boy toy, Casper Smart, had a slip of the tongue during an interview with E! News where he was asked if J. Lo would return to the program and he said, "Yes."  Benny Medina....get ya boy!

Beyonce and Jay Z rented a beachfront mansion in Miami last week where they shot a music video and later posed with fans. Get deets from the video shoot inside.....

Last Thursday evening, residents near Golden Beach (a ritzy enclave of Miami) spied Jay Z and Beyonce filming a new video at a rented beachfront mansion.  

Although sources at the shoot did not confirm what clip the couple were filming, we suspect they may be shooting "Part II (On the Run)" from Jay's latest disc, Magna Carta Holy Grail.

During the shoot, police told the residents that if they didn't film or take pictures that Jay and Bey would come out and mingle with the crowd after shooting wrapped. And guess what....the couple kept their word.

The Miami Herald reported one eyewitness saying, “Beyonce is beautiful!" Another said, "Both could not have been kinder and more playful with the young kids and teenagers." And Nicole Farchi Segal agreed, saying, "It was an honor meeting them, and they were incredibly nice!"

Amber Rose posted a pre-wedding TWERK video in celebration of today's nuptials to rapper Wiz Khalifa.  Watch Amber dip it low inside....

"Only bad bitches twerk the night before their wedding"

-Amber Rose

Amber Rose will be walking down the aisle in Pittsburgh, PA in a few hours....we just hope she doesn't have a hangover!

Last night, Amber posted a bridal shower TWERK video paying homage to her stripper days (and some vintage 2 Live Crew).

 

You'll recall that Wiz tweeted about marrying Amber a few weeks ago...so today's formal wedding is a celebration of their union in front of family and friends (and the fans).  It will be interesting to see what Muvarosebud has planned since she's been documenting the journey of her wedding dress to Pittsburgh tweeting, "My wedding dress... Yea, it's that serious"

We're happy the day is finally here.....because it's been a long time coming!  We've watch Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa fall in love (right before our eyes) and they've allowed us to go along for the ride (whether we wanted to or not).

 

Congrats to the couple on Baby Bash and their nuptials..........

Oh, hello bob!  If you thought Beyonce Knowles was going back to that extra long blonde weave for her concerts after her recent hair transformation, think again.  Check out the fab chick rocking her new look during Saturday night's performance at the V festival in Chelmsford, England. 

 

Plus, an assed out Toni Braxton during her own performance thanks to a may-jah wardrobe malfunction!

No wild & long curls here!  Beyonce brought her new inverted bob to the stage at the Virgin Wireless V Festival in England tonight.  And we're loving the change up and the extra grown vibe it's giving. 

Here's pics of Bey hitting the Virgin Media Stage at Hylands Park at tonight's headliner.  Oh, and she still nailed those hair flips:

Hot.  BeyBey returns to the V Festival stage tomorrow (Sunday) night at Weston Park in Staffordshire, England.  And then she hits the Made In America Festival in Philly during Labor Day weekend.

 

And in not so perfect performance news:

Diva Toni Braxton showed her ass last night in New Brunswick, NJ.  But chick is still a bad b*** at 45 so she really need not be ashamed. 

Things went awry during her performance when a wardrobe malfunction occurred and the entire back of her dress just fell completely down   Chick didn't even miss a beat either. 

She was wearing tights and booty shorts style spanx so naked booty meat was NOT on display.  But still, it's embarrassing nonetheless.  Peep the video below:

One of her fans she brought up on stage handed her his blazer to cover up while someone did an emergency fix on that dress.  Toni tweeted afterwards, "Nobody's Perfect! LOL".  And her sis Tamar had her back responding, “You are tho sissy! At least your ass is AMAZING!”

We know that's right....

There's good news for Toni though: Her duets album with Babyface is scheduled to drop via Motown later this year, and their single "Hurt You" comes out Monday.

VIDEO FAB: Chris Brown's "Love More" Featuring Nicki Minaj

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 10:58 AM PDT

 photo love-more-video-1.jpg

Chris Brown has released the "Love More" video featuring Nicki Minaj.  Watch the dance-friendly visual inside.....

 

In the video for "Love More", the latest offering from Chris Brown's upcoming X album (August 26th),  rapper Nicki Minaj and comedian Nick Swardson join Breezy for an visually stimulating club experience.  Chris, who directed the clip, tweeted, “While you guys kill yourself over bullshit ill keep directing stuff like this! Thx team breezy!!”

In other Chris Brown news, the singer has been ordered to complete an additional 1,000 hours of community service based on the LA County DA's findings that he falsified his community service reports last year. 

You'll recall that the DA accused Breezy of violating his parole by submitting the false reports and they wanted him thrown in jail!  Luckily for Chris, the judge told him that as long as he completes the 1,000 hours, his probation will be reinstated and will officially end in August 2014. 

Although the singer was mum during his court appearance, he had a few choice words for haters on Twitter.  Shortly after the judge's verdict, Chris tweeted a message to his haters, "#FWPT fuck what people think."

I didn't want to hide anything. This album, I wanted to tell a story."
