Over the weekend, Solange took a custom-designed Lamborghini Murcielago to the streets of New York City to celebrate the release of her "Saint Heron" trunk-style compilation. See the photos inside....

A few weeks ago we told you about Solange releasing Saint Heron, a compilation of her favorite R&B artists and the first release on her own independent label Saint Records.  It hits stores on Tuesday.  So Solange promoted the disc on Saturday afternoon by taking over the streets of NYC in a Lamborghini Murcielago decorated by Rashaad Newsome. 

She said she wanted this new release to have a trunk-style feel, like how Cds used to be sold out of the truns of cars.

Wearing mustard-colored pants and a patterned coat, Solange and the Lambo made appearances at the Studio Museum of Harlem, Havana Outpost in Brooklyn and Opening Ceremony in Soho.

In addition to the album, Solange has plans for SaintHeron.com to become a cultural hub for trendy people.

"I’m also looking forward to SaintHeron.com being a home for music and cultural enthusiasts like myself who want to see content that really reflects the community we are a part of."

Congrats Solo!

Tameka Raymond and Monyetta Shaw were spotted again together.  They've got folks talking about a possible ATL ex-wives/ex-girlfriends style reality show in the making.  That will be....interesting.

Young Joc and Karlie Redd also came together.  They've been everywhere "together" these days.  Clearly a new storyline of "Love & Hip Hop: ATL" is in the works.

Also, look who appears to be back together.  Towanda Braxton and her hubby posed it up for pics together--which they rarely do because we ALL know their issues.  And it's all just in time for the new season of "Braxton Family Values."

SPEAK ON IT: Should Mama Joyce MEDDLE (This Much) In Kandi's Relationship With Todd?

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 06:45 AM PST

 photo bravos.png

The tension between "RHOA" cast member Kandi Burruss and her mother Joyce hit an all-time high on last night's episode when Mama Joyce voiced her concerns about Kandi's pending nuptials to Todd Tucker and even insulted her wedding ring.  Watch the clip inside...

How deep does a mother's love go before it crosses the line?  Last night on "RHOA" Mama Bear Joyce might have crossed the line while protecting her precious cub, Kandi Burruss, and insinuating that her fiance Todd was a golddigger.  Mama Joyce says he doesn't pay for anything (Kandi says he pays the "bills" for the house KANDI bought) and she says Riley doesn't like him (which Kandi responded that it's news to her).  Moms even took a jab at the ring he gave her (which brought Kandi to tears).

In a recent interview with Hello Beautiful, Kandi talked about a blow-up with her mom which may be linked to our coverage of Kandi's ALLEGED wedding.  When Mama Joyce got the news that her daughter might be married.....she was NOT pleased.  

We're wondering, at what point do you tell your parents to fall back and let you make your own decisions about who you love?

Future has released the video for "Real And True", his collaboration with Miley Cyrus.  Watch the video inside and see what happened when Future's fiancee Ciara met up with two of his babies' mommas at a recent concert.  

Future teamed up with one of pop music's hottest chicks, Miley Cyrus, for his latest single "Real And True."  Directed by Rankin, the clip stars Future as an astronaut who falls in love with Miley (an alien) during an outer space voyage. Earlier, he told MTV “It’s about somebody sacrificing their life for love. This video is probably one of the most special videos to me.”

Produced by Mike WiLL Made It, the song appears on his sophomore album Honest.

Watch the video here:

Last Thursday, it was a "you had to see it to believe it" moment at Atlanta's Phillips Arena when Ciara was spotted posing for a backstage pic with Future's sister and TWO of his babies' momma after his concert with Drake. 

 photo sw1.jpg

Although Future has had past child support issues with his children's mothers, it seems like they've put the past behind them...if only for one night.   Ciara tweeted, "#Funtimes #Family #Love".  

Also, it appears that Ciara and Future plan to take a page out of Russell and Kimora's BLENDED family playbook.

Idris Elba, who's starring in  “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” (in theaters November 29th) walked the red carpet and received the Britannia Humanitarian Award at the ceremony.  He recently spoke to the HuffPost about screening the film for President Obama.

"...I felt very proud to play the character and be able to present it to Barack, who loves to watch films. And he has said to me in the past, “You’re one of my favorite actors.” Which is a great, great compliment.

Also, the fact that both of these men are so unique. Mr. Mandela was the first black president in South Africa and Obama being the first black president here, and somehow Idris Elba is connected between these two men. And that really does fill me with a lot of pride."

 photo IdrisElba2013BAFTALAJaguarBritanniaaGoFas8VTiUl.jpg

The actor, who recently revealed that he's suffers from asthma and experienced a recent attack during the film's premiere in South Africa, lists Ruth Wilson and fellow BAFTA attendee Naomie Harris as his favorite female co-stars.  "In terms of talent I’ve worked with very great actors. Ruth Wilson, who plays with me in “Luther” is amazing. Naomie Harris just completely blew my socks off. I’m very blessed in terms of working with great actors...."

Idris is also expecting his first child with girlfriend Naiyana Garth.
