| Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:05 AM PDT Drake just dropped a fresh new track off his upcoming album Nothing Was The Same. Check out the chill "Hold On, We're Going Home" inside, plus 2 Chainz rocking the Jimmy Fallon stage with "Feds Watching".... Drizzy is back on his chill vibe emo-rapper ish with the third single off his upcoming album (September 17th). After returning home to Toronto to close out his 4th Annual OVO Fest with his celeb friends last night (pictured above), he released "Hold On, We're Going Home." And he tapped another Canadian crooner, Majid, for the vocals. It's something to vibe to in the car this summer and fall. Check it above.
In other rapper news, 2 Chainz took over late night by hitting up "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and performing his latest single "Feds Watching" with The Roots. Check it out above.

| Posted: 06 Aug 2013 08:14 AM PDT A short visit to the county jail didn't dampen Chris Brown's party spirits as the "Love More" singer was spotted leaving an LA hotspot while being trailed by a mystery blonde. See the pics inside and his revelation about leaving the music insudtry.... After spending roughly 45-mins in jail yesterday when he turned himself in (regarding his hit-and-run charge), Chris Brown put his legal woes behind him and partied at LA hotspot AV last night. As he walked to his Lamborghini Aventador sportscar, photographers snapped him with a mystery blonde who was also sharing the sidewalk. We're pretty sure this "random" chick was just trying to have her picture taken when Chris walked by, seeing that dude spent a fun-filled weekend with his boo Karrueche Tran at the 2013 O. C. State Fair recently. But, you never know....
What's next? While Breezy's next court hearing for the hit-and-run is set for Aug. 15th, he still has to deal with the issue of his probation (in the Rihanna beating) being revoked! Bottom line.....don't expect him to go on tour with the X album (due August 20th) anytime soon.
He also tweeted this morning about being "over" the industry and making this X album his last:
Hmmm....

| Posted: 06 Aug 2013 07:44 AM PDT Looks like Terrence Howard is still engaged in dramatic ish with his ex-wife. Their recent trip together was obviously a bad idea, but it took a restraining order and another bout of alleged domestic violence for the two to realize that.
Find out why Terrence says Michelle Ghent is framing him, plus details on D'Angelo's serious medical probs.... Terrence Howard and his youngest daughter Heaven (above) attended last night's premiere of Lee Daniel's The Butler. But the movie's co-star had to keep his cool about all the drama going down with his ex-wife right now. Yesterday, it was reported that his ex-wife Michelle was preparing to file a restraining order after a recent trip with Terrence's fam went extra wrong. She claimed he beat her down during an argument, and Terrence says she maced him and his family. Today, Michelle is heading to court. But Terrence (or his lawyers) are expected to tell the judge that Michelle threatened to kill him and she's got mental issues. Terrence says it was just a "normal married fight" even though they are indeed divorced, but when Michele whipped out the pepper spray on him, his kids and his daughter's husband, ish went left. But he says he never touched her. TMZ reports:
So whose bright idea was it to take a family trip with the ex in tow?
Lawd not D'Angelo! The singer who we've all been anxiously awaiting a serious comeback has suffered a serious setback. Apparently the "How Does It Feel" crooner is suffering from a mysterious ailment and he's canceled several show dates--at least 4. Reportedly, he's been hospitalized for a "medical emergency" but no one has revealed exactly what the emergency was or is. Spin reports:
D'Angelo canceled his appearance in Baltimore this weekend and headliner of the show, Erykah Badu, teamed up with Common to fill that slot. His upcoming show in Chicago tomorrow at the House of Blues is now canceled. And his shows in New York and San Diego last week were also cancelled. His Friday show in San Francisco is still on...for now. Get well soon D!

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 11:33 PM PDT Monday night at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC, your favorite stars' fave stars came out to celebrate one of the biggest movies of the year, Lee Daniels' The Butler. Check out the A-listers who sparkled down the carpet and those always make a fab appearance, inside...
It's Lady O! After debuting her MAJORLY BIG HAIR issue of Oprah Magazine on Monday, she showed up with her own big curls and a custom sequined THEIA cocktail dress for her big premiere for Lee Daniels' The Butler. The reps from THEIA tell us her dress was fit and altered just hours before the premiere. THEIA's Creative Director, Don O'Neill, had the pleasure of meeting her for the first time. Nice.
She brought her man Stedman along and looked happy as pie about her big premiere. And we can't even blame her. Chick has her money and her man. Work. Jane Fonda posed it up with the cast members and director Lee.
And Mariah, decked out in Tom Ford, rocked yet another matching arm sling with her look: Missed a spot with that self tanner but she's still looking cute.
Her hubby Nick Cannon was there for support.
And she snapped cute pics with O and Mr. Daniels. Heeeeeey fellas. Forest Whitaker, the star of the movie who portrays former White House Butler Eugene Allen, hit the carpet looking great. He kept it dapper in Prada as his wife Keisha rocked a black Badgley Mischka gown to match her hubby. Lovely. Fantasia brought out the black and gold and metallic leopard pumps. Not our fave look for her since we noticed she stepped her fashion game up recently and expected a sexy chic look. But we can appreciate the risk taking.... Co-star Terrence Howard brought his daughter on the carpet amidst horrible reports of him beating up his ex-wife again. He also posed it up with co-star James Marsden who portrays late & former President JFK.
Keshia Knight Pulliam kept it fab in this black and white number. Flawless as usual. Co-star Yaya Alafia brought her baby bump and new hubby to the carpet. Pregnancy indeed suits her well. Such a cute baby bump!
Lenny Kravitz brought his real life Godmother, Cicely Tyson, as his date to his big premiere.
"Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams popped up looking delicious. We feel a bit guilty drooling over a married man. Just a BIT.... Gayle King brought her daughter Kirby on the carpet for her bestie O's big night. Andre Leon Talley and this big tented satin cape hit the carpet with Anna Wintour. Where are we going with this ALT?
And "High School Musical" star Monique Coleman hit the carpet in a simple white cocktail dress. Lee Daniels' The Butler hits theaters August 16th. We're SO there.

Beyonce told the haters to Bow Down as she mixed in a different outfit to close out the final stop on her tour Monday night: She performed her "Bow Down" track in a sparkly "Carter" jacket, then Mr. Brooklyn himself, Mr. Carter popped up on stage to spit his "Tom Ford" track with Bey dancing around. Gotta love these two. Peep the video below: The Carters' besties Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow showed up and other celebs like little sis Solange and Tika Sumpter were also there. And now that the first 61 shows in 43 cities are over for the Mrs. Carter Show, she circles back to BK and a few other US cities this December.

And up in Toronto:
Drake brought the unexpected with him to OVO Fest at Toronto's Molson Amphitheater. He surprised the crowd and brought out Kanye West at Monday night's concert to perform "New Slaves". 'Ye let 'em know The Roc was in the building and then took over the stage with his own set.
And look who else was there:
Diddy & Mase popped up as the most random & surprising special guests. Mase just looks happy to get out the house. The two rocked out with "Mo Money Mo Problems" and a few other tracks. Peep the vid above.

We've got pics of the twsome flaunting their beach bods, plus Naomi Campbell also looking flawless on the beach... Former basketball star Alonzo Mourning was seen enjoying the afternoon on the beach, playing with his 4 year old son and chillin' with his bikini clad wife by his side. Wonder whatever happened with Tracy's DUI "situation" from earlier this year. The couple looks great though...
And over in Marbella, Spain, Naomi is still living the life by living out all hr days on the beach flanting her never ending gams and hot bod:
Chick doesn't need Vladislav to travel the world and do a while lot of looing fabulous all day. She's got that on lock by herself.... The Randomness: 1.

| Tamar Braxton Reveals "Love & War" Album Cover + Willow Smith's New Song "Drowning" Ft. Mecca Kalan Posted: 05 Aug 2013 07:01 PM PDT Willow Smith is back with another deeper-than-we-thought-a-12-year-old-could-feel track called "Drowning". Check out the melodic track that's all about being drowned by the actions of a deep love, plus Tamar Braxton's new "Love & War" album cover...
Apparently Willow Smith is going through some things. The pre-teen released a controversially sensual video "#SUMMERFLING" last month. Now she's back with a brokenhearted-style song featuring Mecca Kalani. The somber yet pretty piano-ballad is all about a girl who suffered a broken heart at the hands of the boy she loves. And he's watching her drown in her sorrows, yet he can't move on himself. Check it out above.
Tamar Braxton has released the cover photo from her forthcoming disc Love And War. Dropping September 3rd, the disc will feature the #1 single "Love and War", "Hot Sugar" (which premiered on "BFV") and her summer jam "The One." In the meantime, fans can catch Tamar on the road with John Legend for the “Made to Love” tour starting October 20. And "Tamar & Vince" kicks off with a second season on WeTV this Thursday, September 5th.

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 06:24 PM PDT Rihanna and her bestie headed back home to Barbados to party with the locals to partake in the Crop Over festivities. See Rih Rih and Melissa in their festive costumes where they're nearly naked inside…… Over the weekend, the tight & toned Rihanna and Melissa Ford partied in their homeland, Barbados, and partaking in the festivities for the annual Crop Over festival and the wild finale parade that went down today.
She ran into her grandfather Lionel Brathwaite and gave him a sweet hug. Then she got back to her parade "activities": Yep.
On her Instagram, Rihanna shared pics of her latest bedazzled barely-there ensemble that she wore at the historic Kadooment Day Parade today. And just like a couple years ago, she tapped into her bad gyal side and showed it all and grinded it out on the ground and on...people.
And she's clearly having a great time, tweeting things like, "Woke up in paint and a veil from partying in de street all morning!!! #Barbados #FOREDAYmorning CROP OVA almost here! #heauxm" And to show that her phenomenal body has only gotten better, Rih Rih posted a "Then X Now" pic.
And Melissa isn't missing out on any of the fun either. She posted a few of her own pics, showcasing her ensemble and relaxing with a blunt...the usual way we've become accustomed to seeing her and bad girl RiRi. She tweeted, #dropdebumba #dntttpickitupp.
Work it out then..Pon de floor....

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 02:14 PM PDT Chris Brown took his girlfriend Karrueche Tran out for a fun day at the fair this weekend. See their candids inside and find out how Kanye West will make history at the MTV VMAs this year. Taking a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of LA and his past and present legal woes, "Fine China" singer Chris Brown took his girlfriend Karrueche Train to the 2013 Orange County Fair recently.
And Chris put his athletic powers to use, winning a few prizes for Karrueche. Isn't that...special.
The twosome were friendly with fans, taking time to hug folks and kiss babies.
And it looks like the couple didn't pull the "celeb" card and actually waited in line to get on the rides like normal folk.
In other music news.... Kanye West will make MTV history when he walks onstage to perform "BLKKK SKKKN HEAD" (from the #1 album Yeezus) at the 2013 VMAS on August 25 at 9pmET. Taking place at Barclays Center, Kanye will enter the history books by tying Madonna as the artist with the most VMA performances (seven!). Lady Gaga has also been announced as one of the performers at this year's broadcast. Kanye, who's won three-VMAs, made his VMA debut with Chaka Khan in 2004 doing a medley of Jesus Walks, All Falls Down and Through the Wire. But it was 2009 (a year he didn't perform) when he crashed the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech that's probably his most (in)famous VMA moment. We wonder what he'll get into this year...

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 01:16 PM PDT Former Destiny's Child member LaTavia Roberson and her baby daddy Don Vito hosted a few of their celebrity friends during a baby shower in Atlanta recently. See the pics inside.... Over the weekend, former Destiny's Child member LaTavia Roberson and her baby daddy, record producer Don Vito (from "RHOA" and "The Kandi Factory") threw a swanky baby shower in celebration of the upcoming birth of their baby girl Lyric. Yes, she already has a name apparently. Thrown at Atlanta's Future Visions event hall, the shower was attended by some of LaTavia's long time friends like Shamari Devoe and Brandy Harris of the group Blaque and Meelah Williams, formerly of 702. Shamari, Brandy and Meelah posed for a few cutesy pics together. And of course, LaTavia's friend and former DC bandmate LeToya Luckett was also at the party.
And later that night...... After LeToya left the baby shower, she headed to another venue to have a few cocktails with her girls Valeisha Butterfield Jones (who is shooting a reality show), Keri Hilson and Keshia Knight Pulliam. She tweeted, "great food, greater convo w/ these gurls!!" After dinner, the ladies took their poses to the streets with Keshia tweeting, "After dinner photo shoot!! #ATLshawty". Everybody looks fab as always.

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 12:31 PM PDT Terrence Howard is back in hot water with his ex-wife. Apparently, they thought it was a good idea to reunite to take a trip together. And now....she's accusing him of beating her...again.
Deets inside, plus the latest in 50 Cent's domestic violence case... Best man Holiday actor Terrence Howard & Michelle Ghent divorced this past May after some serious domestic violence issues. But they thought it would be great to reunite for a trip to Costa Rica recently. TMZ reports Terrence took Michelle and several family members on the Costa Rican vacay and all hell broke loose. Michelle filed a restraining order saying Terrence beat her badly during an argument. Terrence says Michelle maced him and his oldest daughter first, so he fought back. "Sources" said Terrence was simply trying to cover up his brutality. If you'll recall, Michelle accused Terrence of punching her in the face just 7 days into their marriage. Sigh.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent is also still in his domestic violence drama. Since he was accused of kicking his ex, booty model Daphne (Joy) Narvaez, and destroying her Toluca Lake property, he had to go to court today to brandish all his weapons. He also has to stay 100 feet away from her while the case is active. Daphne's reps also will not confirm if she and 50 have a child together like it was previously reported. So after 50 showed up in a courtroom in Van Nuys, California this morning, he was told he had 24 hours to turn over all his weapons. If convicted, the rapper faces up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines. This guy,,,, The Randomness: 1. Alex Rodriguez has officially been suspended from the MLB after being accused of using drug enhancements. STORY 2. Kevin Hart cut a deal in his DUI case. STORY

| Posted: 05 Aug 2013 11:08 AM PDT Oprah Winfrey just unveiled the latest hair-raising cover for "O" Magazine and it's one of our favorites! See the cover inside and watch a clip of her Lindsay Lohan interview and find out what TGT allegedly did to upset Fantasia!
Oprah Winfrey instagrammed the latest "O" cover and it's definitely one of our favorites. She tweeted, "Just revealed this new cover of @O_Magazine - 1 of my faves ever - Let's talk about HAIR!Following". And over on the OWN Network, which has turned a profit, Oprah landed a high-profile interview with Lindsay Lohan (in addition a new reality show starring the troubled actress). Watch the first look here: Tune in the Lindsay Lohan interview on Sunday, August 18, at 9/8c.
And in music beefs.... Fantasia (shown above with radio host Kendra G from the "Ryan Cameron Morning Show" on V-103 Atlanta, had a showdown with TGT at the Atlanta Civic Center. So what happened? Fantasia was TGT's opening act and the drama started when Fanny was not allowed to do a sound check, so it seemed from Fantasia's telling of the story. For entertainers, the sound check is critical and the failure to do so could lead to a bad show. SInce Fanny was "allowed" to do a check, one might obviously interpret the act as a slight. After that, Fantasia (who heading back to Broadway for After Midnight) claimed that her background singers' mics were turned offduring her performance of “Lose to Win.” This lead to Fanny walking off the stage..... In the audio clip, you can hear the disgust in Fantasia's voice as she blames the headliner for her sound check issues. Meanwhile....after the show: Fantasia's manager Brian posed with Tank and said, "My looooong time friend Tank @therealtank and I after the show. Great solo artist follow and support him." We're thinking that since Brian made mention of Tank as a friend AND "solo" artist, BUT didn't mention the other acts (Ginuwine and Tyrese), the tension with Fanny may stem from the other two. Things that make you go hmmmm....
