| Gabrielle Union Cops A Ring For Her Birthday, Thanks To Dwyane Wade Posted: 02 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PDT Seems like everybody's getting rings for their birthday. Gabby Union was the latest Hollywood chick to cop herself some diamonds. Deets inside... For her 41st birthday, Gabby Union hit up Hyde nightclub in Miami Tuesday night after the Heat's home opener. And her boyfriend Dwyane Wade made a special surprise appearance (he was scheduled to leave that night for a game in Philly on Wednesday). And he came bearing a small gift. A small gift that costs a fortune. Since the Heat ballers received their championship rings in a ring ceremony earlier that night (and Gabby was on hand to see it), D-Wade stopped by her party to give her the WAGS gift of her own FAT championship ring. “Wade walked in with a gift-wrapped box, opened it with her and put it on her finger,” a source told Page Six. “He was there for under five minutes.” Nice! Gabby also spent the evening kicking it at Catch for a surprise dinner with her girls and getting cutesy gift from them: Sweet! By the way, Dwyane also slid a 2012 Championship ring on her finger last year as well: Nice!

| Posted: 01 Nov 2013 04:54 PM PDT CiCi's got the rumorville going once again about her maybe-baby. Check the pics inside from her recent performance in Abu Dhabi that have folks extra confused about whether or not she's expecting...
We're STILL not totally convinced Ciara is pregnant, but we see why some folks are quick to jump to that conclusion. Once again, while in the middle of another performance, what showed up in that belly area indeed may raise an eyebrow. The newly engaged "Body Party" cutie hit the stage last night to kick off Formula 1 weekend in the city of Abu Dhabi in the UAE. And while rocking a leather mini skirt and a fitted sleeveless Egyptian inspired sweater, a slight pooch in the belly was visible. Now we all know CiCi keeps one of the hardest and hottest bodies in the biz...so it did seem a bit striking. But it could have been anything. Plus, when she changed clothes and rocked this all leather look on stage, any sign of a belly mysteriously disappeared:
She posted a few of her own pics of her look as well:
Chick's still got a bangin' body though regardless.
And in other news: Drake dressed as Yeezy for Halloween last night backstage at his concert. He said:
Interesting. But the bigger news--he may have just gone platinum with his Nothing Was The Same album. Chart News, who Drake has referenced himself in the past, says that the "Started From The Bottom" rapper couldn't be further from the bottom. He's actually on top: With over 1.2 million records sold worldwide, he's now reportedly platinum. Congrats Drizzy!

| IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Gospel Artist Kevin Terry Posts BIBLICAL "RESPONSE" About "ALLEGED" Sex Tape Posted: 01 Nov 2013 02:17 PM PDT Well, this is a doozy. Gospel artist Kevin Terry made headlines this week after sex tape featuring a man (assumed to be him) and another man went viral. See his response inside....
Earlier this week, video of gospel singer Kevin Terry engaging in oral sex with another man went viral. WATCH THAT NSFW VDEO HERE. And with all the criticisms of the latest church related reality shows like "Preachers of L.A.", this just fueled the church gossip fire. In response to the leak, Kevin posted a statement (heavy on scripture) to his Facebook page that neither confirmed nor denied that it was him on that tape , but did talk about him being "attacked." One person who did confirm that it was Kevin was his friend, Lil Mo. Ha! She said,
Bloop. Later on, Lil Mo had more jokes on Twitter, even offering a reward to anyone who could confirm the identity and church membership of the other man in the tape. "Fck it. I got $500 right now if you give me the face, name and church the person who leaked the footage attends!! I just upped the anti" The Devil is busy.......

It's Floyd Krueger! Champion boxer Floyd Mayweather partied it up with Lindsay Lohan at Foxwoods Resort & Casino for "A Night Full of Fright" Halloween Party. The twosome arrived super late (more than an hour and a half behind schedule) and rushed down the red carpet barely stopping for photos. But once inside, they were reportedly inseparable. Interesting. Lindsay--who went as Carrie--stuck by Mayweather's side all night laughing and cozying up in the private VIP area.
June Ambrose had one of our fave costumes. The fabulous stylist put her skills to use for Heidi Klum's annual Halloween Party to become a slightly frightening Marie Antoinette. But it was extra hot. Also spotted arriving to Heidi's party--Queen Nefertiti/Tika Sumpter. Gorgeous look for her. She also posed it up with Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross at the party who went as track icon Florence Griffith Joyner. Beyonce posted more pics of her angel hotness as she posed with her skeleton and zombie dancers. Rita Ora went as a credit card!
Taraji P. Henson sexed it up as catwoman. Whip and latex and all. Sherri Shepherd put on her costume for "The View". She went as Khaleesi from Game of Thrones and posed it up with her two dogs. Jenny as Miley's tongue was pretty genius. Another funny pic of Kelly & Michael during their Halloween show.
Sandra Bullock dressed up as a fisherman (and her bestie Melissa McCarthy donned a matching costume when they met up later) as she tok little Louis the skeleton out trick or treating.
Elle Varner hit up a Halloween party.
Karrueche showed off her second costume where she was Aphrodite.
Fabolous, Emily and the kids went as the villans from Batman.
Marsha Ambrosius kept it a little creepy.
Arise co-hosts Lola Lola Ogunnaike and Shannon Lanier donned their costumes with "Fashion Queens" Derek J. and Miss Lawrence. Blaque members Brandi and Shamari Devoe kept it cute. Kevin Hart reunited with his ex-wife Torrei Hart so they could take the kids trick or treating. He said he was going as himself. Ha. Torrei also partied with Amber Riley later on.
Mariah Carey and Nicki Cannon dressed their kids up as Superman and Superwoman. Looks like a whole family of super heroes! And Kimbella hit up Stage 48 Halloween party in...her usual look. And Juelz called his outfit the Fly Bandit. Of course.
