Diddy Caught Creeping...Or Was He?

Posted 06/29/2007 at 5:39 PM  |  Comment?

Thursday evening photos of Diddy and Deal Or No Deal honey dip Claudia Jordan surfaced all over the net with the claims that the two were getting real comfy and cozy at the BET Awards. "Sources" told Concrete Loop: "Diddy asked for her number at the BET rehearsal and then called her up to come and hang out…all this took place on Tuesday."

But before Kim Porter starts to pack her bags (yeah, right) she can rest assured that her man isn't creeping (this time). Claudia Jordan herself sent CL an email stating that she approached Diddy as a fan and that he wasn't trying to hit on her. Apparently the private photos were stolen from her MySpace page and blasted all over the net.

(Fake) Janice Combs won't be too happy to hear this story.

Eve Cops A Plea, Avoids Jail

Posted 06/29/2007 at 12:53 PM  |  2 comment/s

The pitbull in a skirt decided to act like a puppy when she copped a plea for her April DUI arrest. Although she wasn't present in court, Eve sent her lawyer to plead no contest to DUI and thereby avoided any jail time.

According to TMZ.com, "under terms of the plea, Eve must spend 45 days with a SCRAM alcohol monitoring device attached to her ankle." She also got slapped with a whopping three years of 'informal' probation, has to pay $1400 in fines and penalties, and must enroll in the first offender alcohol education program.

Eve will be rocking her ankle bracelet when her new CD drops on August 7th, but that's a better look for her than the orange jumpsuit she woulda been laced in had she went to jail.

Usher Is Having A Baby!

Posted 06/28/2007 at 5:27 PM  |  20 comment/s

After months of rumors and speculation, it is official: Usher and Tameka Foster are pregnant. (Cue the streamers and noisemakers.)

In what was the worst kept secret in like ever, Usher confirmed yesterday that he laid the pipe and Tam-Tam are expecting a bouncing bundle of joy this fall. This will be Usher's first child and Tameka's fourth, which we really find hard to believe. We need to see birth records or something to prove to us that Tameka was born with a working vagina capable of giving birth. We're just saying.

The baby is due before the pair are scheduled to get married and before Usher's new CD drops sometime in the fourth quarter. Congrats to the fellas!

Winehouse Carves Husband's Name On Stomach

Posted 06/27/2007 at 6:01 PM  |  2 comment/s

We're not exactly sure where Amy got the shard of glass from, but we suspect she pulled it out of her beehive. Yet and still, we're not understanding what would possess her to want to carve her tummy up like a jackolatern? Because despite the Bride of Frankenstein look Amy's rocking, it aint nowhere near Halloween.

With all this cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs behavior it seems to us like Amy may just need to check herself into rehab. Yes, yes, yes.

T.I. Apologizes For Wildin' Out

Posted 06/27/2007 at 5:36 PM  |  11 comment/s

We think that this apology was a good look for T.I. It showed class and he really did seem apologetic. Plus it doesn't hurt that his new CD comes out July 3rd. He needs some good press right abut now.

Tyrese Engaged To Pregnant Fiancé, Not Brandy

Posted 06/26/2007 at 5:13 PM  |  3 comment/s

But that isn't stopping Tyrese from going down the aisle with someone else. He is engaged to his future baby mama, Norma. She is currently pregnant with Black Ty's seed, and he's gonna make an honest woman out of her. There's no word on when the big day is, but Tyrese is gearing up for another big day on July 3rd when his film Transformers opens in theatres nationwide.

Jaguar Wright Cuts Up At Concert

Posted 06/26/2007 at 4:28 PM  |  3 comment/s

She made a song cry when she performed with Jay-Z on his MTV Unplugged special from a few years back, but word is that singer Jaguar Wright may have made a band of musicians cry when she cussed them out at a recent concert.

According to our sources, Ms. Wright showed her ass at a show in Washington, DC this past Friday night. She was scheduled to perform two sets and once she started singing the band allegedly wasn't playing her music to her liking. So she stopped the show mid-performance and cussed the band smooth out before stomping off of the stage to call another band in Baltimore to come play for her. Jaguar refused to return to the stage to finish the first set and apparently stayed backstage cussing and fussing until the other band arrived. She finally made her way back to the stage for the second set to perform for whoever was left after droves of pissed patrons broke out.

The situation was so ugly that the promoters sent out an email today apologizing to concertgoers for Jag's "difficult behavior". Something tells us that they won't be working with her again anytime soon.

Here is a kinder, gentler Jaguar Wright performing "Love, Need and Want You" live at another show:

Christina Aguilera Wants To Make Movies

Posted 06/26/2007 at 2:09 PM  |  Comment?

Christina Aguilera is the latest singer who wants to channel her inner thespian and segue into acting. The allegedly pregnant singer is looking for just the right role to make her movie debut in while she continues her world tour.

We sincerely hope that her acting skills have improved since her Mickey Mouse Club days. Check out young Christina (alongside fellow Mouseketeers Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears) back in the day:

Tracey Edmonds Divorce Final

Posted 06/25/2007 at 5:30 PM  |  1 comment/s

Eddie Murphy may have gotten some bad news this past Friday (well, bad for him, good for Melanie Brown and her baby), but what a difference a weekend makes. Word comes today that his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds' divorce from her husband Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is finalized. (So much for thinking they had already divorced.)

Now that the paternity monkey is off of Eddie's back and Tracey's marriage is officially over, they can move on with their lives together in relative peace. Given Eddie's high sperm count, we just hope that these two crazy kids wrap it up when they exchange gifts. Murphy doesn't need anymore dependents right about now.

Kelly Rowland Is Not A Lesbian

Posted 06/25/2007 at 4:05 PM  |  Comment?

Though she may have a permanent spot hanging off Beyoncé's bra strap, Kelly Rowland is not a lesbian, despite recent rumors burning up inboxes and message boards.

All the controversy started when K.Ro chatted with writer Clay Cane about her upcoming project and the love she has for her gay fanbase. Then Cane asked her if she had any girl crushes and she admitted to feeling Angelina Jolie and Drew Barrymore.

But there's no need to worry fellas, she won't ever be going all Coral from Real World on y'all. Not that there is anything wrong with that (word to Seinfeld), but Kelly is 100% hetero. And as a matter of fact, she is 100% single, having dismissed stories that she is dating British soccer player Kieran Richardson as it was widely reported last week.

Eddie Murphy: You Are the Father!

Posted 06/22/2007 at 2:01 PM  |  3 comment/s

Maury Povich coulda already handled this on his show, but Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown and Eddie Murphy wanted to be all official and get a paternity test in court and what not. Well the results are in and Eddie Murphy is Mel B.'s baby daddy.

Surprise, surprise.

According to Scary's rep, the test has confirmed that Eddie is the father of two-month-old Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Sorry, Ed, but that DNA don't lie. After all that drama he put Mel through, she's clearly gotten the last laugh. And we're sure that she'll be laughing all the way to the bank with those hefty child support checks she's about to get.

Russell Simmons Confirms New Lady Love

Posted 06/22/2007 at 12:26 PM  |  2 comment/s

Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons have yet to officially divorce, but that hasn't stopped them from getting their swerve on with other people during their marathon separation. We all know that Kimora has been busy making sexytime with Djimon Hounsou, but until recently Uncle Russell has been laying kinda low.

There's been a lot of speculation about who the pretty young thing he's been seen with at a few events is. Well yesterday Russell appeared on Gayle King's XM Satellite Radio show to chew that fat on a variety of topics and the subject of his relationship with Kimora and his love life came up. Simmons finally went on record and revealed that he is in a new relationship with a yogi who goes by the name of Porshla.

Check out VC's exclusive audio of Russell chatting about KiLee then getting all moist and gooey when talking about Porshla to Gayle:

Cassie Is Still On Bad Boy

Posted 06/22/2007 at 11:59 AM  |  5 comment/s

Much to the dismay of Cheri Dennis many who think her talent is nonexistent at best, Diddy has confirmed that Cassie has not been dropped from Bad Boy. Our inside source at BBE has also cosigned that Miss Ventura is still down with the label, and she has an album coming out this October.

In the meantime, you Cassie fans (all three of you) will be able to catch her getting her video vixen on in Kanye West's clip for "Stronger" when that premieres. Here's a still of her from the video:

Chrisette Michele Comes Out Strong

Posted 06/21/2007 at 4:27 PM  |  2 comment/s

Let it be known that VC totally hearts Chrisette Michele. The newest darling of Def Jam (you can sit down now, Rihanna) has come out of the gate with one of the best albums so far this year. I Am dropped on Tuesday to critical acclaim and lots of love in the blogosphere.

Chrisette has already shown that she's got next after holding it down on the hooks for tracks by bossman Jay-Z and labelmate Nas. She'll be touring with Musiq this summer, and we just hope that she doesn't show him up too bad.

Check out Chrisette sanging "The Best Of Me" on The David Letterman Show:

Tameka Foster Finally Talks, Gets Called Out

Posted 06/21/2007 at 3:47 PM  |  14 comment/s

So Usher's lady love Tameka Foster spoke to the good people over at Essence.com in an exclusive two-part interview that has the internet goin' nuts.

In her first interview since getting engaged to Mr. Raymond, Tameka pulled no punches in part one when talking about her man, their scandalous love affair, and all of the gossip floating around about their union. Tameka let it be known that she was already separated from her husband when she hooked up with Ursh and that she had nothing to do with his breakup with Chili. However, celebrity photog turned gossip blogger, Sandra Rose, calls Tameka a boldfaced liar.

Then yesterday part two of the interview was posted. Tameka sorta, kinda, not really addressed the pregnancy rumors--she is not knocked up by her ex but she may be by Usher--and couldn't keep Wendy Williams' name out of her mouth. She said that Wendy was obsessed with her and called it "so sexy". Um, okay. Needless to say, the drag Queen of All Media had a mouthful for Tameka on her show yesterday afternoon in response:

By a show of hands, how many think that Tameka just needs to fall back and plan her wedding in silence?

Is Christina Aguilera Pregnant?

Posted 06/20/2007 at 12:20 PM  |  7 comment/s

Rumors that Christina Aguilera is pregnant have been percolating for the past few weeks but apparently this is one baby story that is true (unlike some others we've heard of recently). HipAndPop.com reported last week and Page Six finally caught the story today, that Xtina and her husband Jordan Bratman will soon welcome a brand new little genie in a bottle to their family, according to sources.

The pint-sized vocal powerhouse is allegedly three months pregnant and the paparazzi have caught her on at least two occassions leaving medical offices. For prenatal care perhaps? Xtina has yet to confirm or deny this story but we're gonna start knitting a baby blanket now just in case.

In other news, Nicole Richie swallowed a jelly bean whole and it's being mistaken for a baby bump.

R. Kelly & Usher Messing With the "Same Girl"

Posted 06/20/2007 at 11:25 AM  |  3 comment/s

R. Kelly and Usher's video for "Same Girl" premiered yesterday. There's this big twist at the end that was a tad unexpected, but it still ain't got nothing on the "Trapped In the Closet" saga.

Check out the clip:

Now if the same girl had turned out to be some dude, that would have really been a shocker.

50 Cent's Baby Mama Is Thirsty

Posted 06/19/2007 at 5:01 PM  |  6 comment/s

50 Cent's pockets may be 100 million dollars heavier thanks to his big Vitamin Water payday, but if his baby mama Shaniqua Tompkins has anything to say about it he'll have to share the wealth with her. Tompkins lawyer Raoul Felder has made it crystal clear that Shaniqua is looking to get broke off with a piece of Fiddy's small fortune in their ongoing child support proceedings.

When we last left off, 50 was ordered by the court to pay $25K to Shaniqua for expenses and the care of their son Marquise back in April. Now when the former couple heads back to court on Friday, Felder is looking to include Fifty's new bank balance in the equation for his client. We're sure Curtis is thinking to himself that it's cheaper to keep her.

Busta Acts Like Baby At Birthday Bash

Posted 06/18/2007 at 5:34 PM  |  2 comment/s

Rumor has it that Busta Rhymes acted like a big 35-year-old baby during a birthday shindig at a Miami club last weekend. Sources are saying that Bussa Bust was busted all night long, sitting in the corner with his bodybuard and acting stank toward his entourage.

We don't know what may have bugged Busta, but he was allegedly in a sour mood the entire time he was at the club and even refused a bottle of Cristal. Not even the festive sparkler in the cork could change his mind.

We'd like to send out an APB for the wild and crazy Busta of yesteryear.

Janet Jackson Recording New Album?

Posted 06/18/2007 at 4:57 PM  |  10 comment/s

Miss Jackson will apparently be working on this new disc with her honey Jermaine Dupri once again. However, JD didn't accompany JJ down to MIA. Instead, Def Jam big dog L.A. Reid went for the ride, further fueling speculation that Janet is headed over to Def Jam. Hey, if they can turn Mariah Carey's once down-the-toilet-bound career around, maybe they can work the same magic for Janet?

Amy Winehouse Beats Her Man

Posted 06/15/2007 at 5:00 PM  |  Comment?

Amy Winehouse may not weigh more than a wet towel but she will whoop that trick if her husband cuts up. The newleywed singer is notorious for her drinking and drugging ways and word is that when she gets lifted she takes her anger out on her boo, Blake Fielder-Civil.

According to Amy, “I’ll beat up Blake when I’m drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don’t like then I’ll chin him." Well damn, Amy is running around chin checking folks and bragging about it. Now that's gangsta. No wonder so many rappers love her.

Rihanna Is Homeless

Posted 06/15/2007 at 2:26 PM  |  8 comment/s

Poor Rihanna. Not only did T-Pain beat her out for the number one album in the country this week, but now word is that Little Miss Sunshine is homeless.

According to Rihanna, she's been living out of a suitcase and she's sick of it. Ri Ri has tired of traveling from five-star hotel to five-star hotel with her whole life in her luggage during her two years on the road. Being the international superstar that she is, now she wants a phat place to call her very own. Instead of returning to her homebase of Barbados, she has her eye on setting up shop in Los Angeles. And as far away from Beyoncé as possible we presume.

Last night Jill Scott took to the stage at Radio City Music Hall and brought the house down as only she can. Musiq Soulchild served as her opening act on the first night of a two-night stand. Jilly performs tonight with white guy of the moment Robin Thicke and the legendary Chaka Khan.

Here are some flicks of Jill doing her thing:

Sing out, sister!

Tell 'em why you mad, Jill.

Jilly is all smiles.

Akon Apologizes to the World In a Song

Posted 06/13/2007 at 5:35 PM  |  8 comment/s

Akon is killing us softly with his song. In light of so much recent bad press, the hitmaker has decided to issue a musical apology.

In the song "I'm Sorry," Akon apologizes to his wife (or is that wives?), kids, mama, Gwen Stefani, the Trinidadian teenager, his fans, Shrek, Rodney King, Santa Claus, John Kerry, the Jolly Green Giant, and Mother Theresa. Check it out here:

Since Akon is in an apologizing mood, we don't suppose he'd like to issue an apology for his unfortunate singing. We're just saying.

Kim Kardashian Badmouths Whitney Houston

Posted 06/13/2007 at 2:55 PM  |  1 comment/s

What is this we hear about Kim Kardashian talking greasy about Whitney Houston?

Aw hell to the naw!

Apparently the D-List jumpoff had some nasty things to say about Nippy on ex-boyfriend Ray J's voicemail. And wouldn't you know that someone hacked into Ray's voicemail system and just so happened to get a hold of the messages. To add insult to injury, the hacker has put music behind the messages and made a record of Kim K. dissing Whitney.

We haven't heard this bootleg diss record, but somebody should tell Kimmie that Whit ain't the one to be funked with. She better back down before she gets smacked down.

But for real, for real, if you are reading this, Whitney, please cut that less than zero Ray J off. He is Bobby Brown 2.0--without the talent.

Shar Jackson Pregnant By K-Fed?

Posted 06/13/2007 at 11:44 AM  |  4 comment/s

And K-Fed wouldn't be K-Fed if he didn't get someone pregnant with his super sperm. Yep, word is that Shar is knocked up with their third child together. If you've been keeping score, this alleged baby would be child number five for Shar and Kevin's fifth spawn as well. If these two get married that would be one ghetto ass Brady Bunch.

We'd just like to let Shar and Kevin know that we got five on some birth control.

**UPDATE: SharJack is denying reports that she is rated PG. We would still like to buy her and Kev some extra-medium Trojans just in case.

Eric Benét and Prince's Ex Are A Couple

Posted 06/12/2007 at 5:51 PM  |  2 comment/s

VC was the first one to drop a dime on Eric Benét dating Prince's ex-wife Manuela Testolini when we spotted them together a few weeks ago at various functions. Now Page Six is reporting that the pair are a "random new couple". They've most recently been seen getting pretty lovey dovey in Toronto and even caught the premiere of Pirate's of the Caribbean: At World's End together.

This is the first woman that Benét has seriously been linked to since his split with Halle Berry. We don't know much about Manuela except that she was a huge Prince fan who worked her way up to wifey. Could she be doing the same with Benét? Hmmm...

Ray J To Make Adult Films?

Posted 06/12/2007 at 5:20 PM  |  Comment?

We really need for Ray J to go back under that rock he was under for such a long time. The dude makes one sleep-inducing sex tape and now he thinks he's the Spike Lee of porn.

Word is that Vivid Entertainment, the company that released his home (emphasis on "ho") movie with Kim Kardashian, wants Ray to make nudie flicks for them. Although he has yet to seal the deal, Ray already has a concept that involves him being the narrator and guiding viewers through scenes. Wow, we just fell asleep typing that.

Vivid has offered Ray J two million dollars for that boiling hot mess. Despite objections from his fam and friends, he is seriously considering the offer. According to Ray, the whole sex tape thing "turned out to be something that kind of broke the barrier for my career."

Um, what career, Brandy's little brother?

Timbaland Arrested After Beatdown

Posted 06/12/2007 at 5:10 PM  |  2 comment/s

Timbaland channeled his inner Debo and knocked a dude the *bleep* out in an altercation in Germany on Sunday night after a Justin Timberlake concert.

Timbaland released his fists of fury on the man when he allegedly dropped the N-bomb. Homeboy got his panties in a bunch after Timbo and his crew chatted his girlfriend up. He called Tim and company out of their names and the next thing you know they opened up a fresh can of whoop ass on him. Tim and two friends were arrested and released on bail Monday. The man who suffered the beatdown was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries. An investigation is still underway.

Although there was no bike involved, we suspect that the fight looked something like this:

American Idol may have been the best thing to happen to Fantasia, but getting cast in The Color Purple on Broadway is running a close second. Fanny performed the song "I Am Here" from the musical to a global audience at Sunday night's Tony Awards telecast. Peep her blowing below:

Now this is the Fantasia that we like to see (unlike this one). Simon Cowell would be so proud.

Jay-Z Screens Men For Rihanna

Posted 06/11/2007 at 6:21 PM  |  4 comment/s

Jay-Z not only oversees Rihanna's career but he has a hand in her love life as well. (Insert your own dirty joke here.) Apparently any dude who wants to holla at Ri-Ri has to go through Jigga first. He's not allowing just anyone to get up under her "Umbrella".

According to Rihanna, she appreciates that Jay keeps the riff raff away from her because he has her "best interests in mind." And his, too, we're sure. But any potential suitor who wants to try his luck with President Carter to get to his darling Rihanna had better be tall, with a sense of humor, and able to carry a conversation or she won't be interested anyway. Sorry, Gary Coleman.

Kelly Rowland Wants Fans To Choose Next Single

Posted 06/11/2007 at 5:59 PM  |  Comment?

With her second CD dropping in a few weeks, Kelly Rowland is trying to get some of that Rihanna press (good luck). Kells is currently previewing Ms. Kelly on AOL Music. She's even giving fans the opportunity to vote on the second single from the CD.

After the surprisingly lukewarm response that "Like This" received, K.Ro is hoping that the people have more sense than her label's A&R to choose a heater. Fans have eight songs to choose from including collabos with Snoop Dogg and Tank. Currently the track "Work" is in the lead with the most votes.

Akon: I Didn't Do Anything, Part 2

Posted 06/07/2007 at 4:49 PM  |  1 comment/s

Akon is playing his "What Did I Do Wrong?" card again.

A few weeks after proclaiming that he did nothing wrong for the dirty dancing incident in Trinidad, now he is claiming he did nothing criminal when he tossed a fan off the stage and into the audience at a weekend concert. According to his lawyer Benjamin Brafman, there is no basis for criminal charges based on the incident. Oh really? Well, we're sure that someone else will ultimately be the judge of that.

In the meantime, the mystery teen has been identified and his parents are chatting with their own lawyers about what course of action to take against the Senegalese Rowdy Roddy Piper. In addition, a woman who says she suffered a concussion when the human missile landed on her at the concert has also come forward and retained an attorney. Cha-ching!

This is really not a good look for Akon. If he keeps all of this bad behavior up he may wind up being locked up again. KONVICT! KONVICT!

Kelly Rowland Kicking It With British Baller

Posted 06/07/2007 at 4:17 PM  |  7 comment/s

Kelly Rowland isn't one to have her love life on blast like some people we know, but word is that the singer has been romancing English soccer player, Kieran Richardson. K.Ro has allegedly been bending it like Beckham with the footballer for the past two months on the low after he met her backstage at one of her concerts. But, of course, what's done in the dark comes out in the light, and their love thing is "starting to heat up" according to sources.

Although her new CD has been pushed back more than Brandy's hairline, Ms. Kelly is finally scheduled to drop on July 3rd.

Andre 3000 Cast As Sammy Davis, Jr.

Posted 06/07/2007 at 11:10 AM  |  Comment?

Andre 3000 is becoming quite the thespian. Word is that the ATLien is slated to star as Sammy Davis, Jr. in one of the numerous projects about the groundbreaking entertainer.

Dre is attached to Sammy and Kim, a film about Davis' notorious affair with actress Kim Novak. Damon Dash is a producer for the flick and the script is currently in development.

So what do you think? Can the talented Mr. Benjamin transform himself into the "Candyman"? And who would you cast to get all interracial with Dre and play the blonde bombshell Novak?

Ludacris Boasts About His Love Below

Posted 06/06/2007 at 4:39 PM  |  5 comment/s

This latest story about Ludacris has us seeing the rapper in a lovely new light.

In a recent interview with Playboy, he speaks candidly about the size of his manhood, calling it "exceptional" after measuring it with a ruler and getting positive feedback from the ladies. There's no word on the motion of the ocean itself, but Captain Stubing Bridges is "extremely proud" of the size of his love boat.

At least Luda is talking about his own johnson and not someone else's unlike some people we know.

Justin Timberlake Signs YouTube Singer to Label

Posted 06/05/2007 at 4:59 PM  |  Comment?

Justin Timberlake is wasting no time in snapping up talent for his newly formed label, Tennman Records, and he went right to the Internet to do it. The first artist signed to his label is Esmee Denters, a Dutch singer who first gained fame on YouTube with her covers of popular songs.

She may not exactly be a household name, but Denters has had the internet goin' nuts since 2006. The 18-year-old caught the attention of a worldwide audience thanks to her webcammed blue-eyed soul versions of hits by John Legend, Alicia Keys, and Mariah Carey posted on her YouTube page.

Her videos paid off and she's turned into a star in the Netherlands with international stardom right around the corner if Timberlake has anything to say about it. He's even chosen the singer to open up for him on his European tour. With a success story like this, who needs American Idol when you have YouTube?

Check out Esmee and JT here:

Did Jay-Z Propose to Beyoncé?

Posted 06/05/2007 at 4:14 PM  |  11 comment/s

In what has got to be the zillionth engagement rumor, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are reportedly engaged to be married. Again.

British press is reporting that the Jiggaman proposed to his bootylicious boo during their trip to Cannes last week. Although there was no ring and no official statement confirming this, sources say that Carter promised Knowles "the biggest diamond she can fit on her finger."

We're not falling for the okey doke with this latest proposal story, though. It sounds mighty suspect. We really don't picture Jay taking Bey on a romantic getaway and proposing to her without a ring but promising her a phat one when it does in fact come. Nope, not buying it.

Akon Body Slams Fan

Posted 06/05/2007 at 3:43 PM  |  3 comment/s

After that incident in Trinidad you'd think that Akon would get some sense at his concerts, but he is continuing to wild out. This time around instead of laying hands on an underage female, Akon got physical with a young man at a recent outdoor performance.

Apparently this dude threw something toward Akon's face and that was the wrong thing to do. Audience snitches pointed the guy out to Akon, and he had his people bring the kid to the stage so that he could have a word with him. Well, once the guy got to the stage Akon spoke with his hands. He channeled his inner Hulk Hogan, picked the guy up, and body slammed homeboy into the crowd. Ouch.

Akon resumed his show shortly thereafter. Now that's gansta.

We expect a lawsuit to be filed in five, four, three, two...

Rihanna Is Taking Over

Posted 06/04/2007 at 4:56 PM  |  4 comment/s

Rihanna's plan of world domination is well underway. With her latest CD Good Girl Gone Bad slated to drop on Tuesday, brace yourselves for Rihanna overload.

Just yesterday morning when VC opened the Sunday paper who did we see smiling at us from the coupon section but Ri-Ri in her Cover Girl advertisement. She's peddling their new line of Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Lipgloss. (Shhh! Don't tell Lil Mama!)

Then last night she took the stage with Jay-Z at the MTV Movie Awards for a live performance of "Umbrella." Dressed in a strappy peekaboo leather number, it looked like she went shopping at Dominatrix's 'R Us. Check out her snoozefest of a performance here:

Then today we learned that this Friday Rihanna will be unveiled as the 2007 Venus Breeze “Celebrity Legs of a Goddess” by the Gillette line of razors. In this role, Rihanna will lead the Venus Breeze “Legs of a Goddess” contest to find the woman with the best legs in America, who also exudes poise and confidence. We wonder if Beyoncé is gonna enter?

Chris Brown, Mario on Jordin Sparks' Wish List

Posted 06/01/2007 at 3:50 PM  |  8 comment/s

American Idol's sweetheart Jordin Sparks is gearing up for life in the fame lane. The winner of a rather interesting season of Idol has already set her sights on who she wants to work with on her upcoming album and she's not taking any shorts.

According to the young Miss Sparks, she would "love to do a duet with Mario or Chris Brown." That would be real interesting to hear the suburban half-sister on a track with one of the hotties from the hood. We really can't picture the squeaky clean teen getting all ghetto on us (we'll leave that to Fantasia), but maybe they'll give her powerful pipes some much-needed soul or at least teach her how to pop, lock, and drop it.

Melanie Brown To Get Jiggy With It

Posted 06/01/2007 at 3:20 PM  |  Comment?

Who would have thought that bumpin' uglies with Eddie Murphy would revive Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown's career? After being thrust into the spotlight with the ongoing baby daddy drama with Eddie, Mel B. has reportedly secured a spot in next season's Dancing With the Stars.

The Spice Girls weren't exactly known for their dancing prowess, but Scary should know how to twerk it. She may even do better in the competition than this season's lone sister Laila Ali, who came in third place. But we have a feeling that Murphy won't be tuning in.
