Vibe Confidential

Usher And Tameka Still A Couple

Posted 07/31/2007 at 4:59 PM  |  4 comment/s

We guess our happy dancing upon hearing the news of the cancellation of Usher's wedding to Tameka Foster was a bit premature. Turns out that they are still together and planning to get married--just at a later date. Excuse us while we drop a platter, Florida Evans style, and utter her famous lines from Good Times: DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

Yesterday evening, Tameka released a cryptic statement to People, saying: "No one knows why we canceled the wedding, but I can tell you that all of the reasons that everyone is speculating and writing about are completely untrue."

Gee, thanks for clearing that up, Tam. You said so much and nothing at all.

She did go on to semi-confirm that something was wrong with her pregnancy. "We had a scare. But I am fine and the baby is fine," she said.

And then this morning Usmagazine.com posted an exclusive interview with Usher, where he stated, "As of right now we don't have a date but we will let you know when we do." He also assured his fans (all three of y'all) that Tameka and the baby are both fine. Whoopty woo!

Since Ushmeka is still a couple and the wedding is still on, if you'd like to take the risk of buying them a wedding present, their gift registries at Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma (search under "Tameka Foster") are still online.

Is it just us, or is anyone else a little tired of these two publicity whores? Usher got it bad indeed.

Teedra Moses Album Delayed Again

Posted 07/30/2007 at 4:45 PM  |  Comment?

This is sad news for Teedra Moses fans, but her new CD The Young Lioness won't be roaring into stores anytime soon. The much-delayed second disc from the Lousiana-bred/Cali-based singer was supposed to come out in August but it has been pushed back once again and won't be released until early next year...maybe. Good Lord, homegirl's album has been delayed almost as many times as that new Maxwell disc we've been waiting on.

Teedra wrote a MySpace blog breaking the bad news to her fans and counting it all joy despite the setback. In the meantime while we wait for TVT Records to get some Act Right, Teedra has the Young Hustla Volume 2 Live from the Jungle mixtape floating around and will release a Christmas mixtape later this year.

If you need to satisfy your Teedra jones, here's some concert footage of her from a recent tour stop in Washington, DC singing the title track from Complex Simplicity:

Eddie Murphy Gets Engaged To Tracey Edmonds

Posted 07/30/2007 at 4:01 PM  |  Comment?

Eddie Murphy must love being married because he is planning on going down the aisle once again. Yes, Eddie popped the question to his girlfriend of less than a year Tracey Edmonds last Wednesday. Never mind that the ink on Tracey's divorce from Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is barely dry.

That Tracey is seriously on the come up. If we're not mistaken she met Babyface on the set of one of his music videos when she went to audition to be in it. Wow, there's hope for video vixens the world over.

At any rate, Eddie and Tracey are on track to become the latest Hollyhood power couple. Hmm, maybe Murphy will star in Who's Your Caddy 2 or College Hill: The Movie?

All we know is that somewhere Murphy's ex-girl Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown is mad as hell. Let's just hope that when Eddie tires of Tracey, he doesn't abruptly cancel her subscription to the penis on television like he did with Mel.

Usher Calls Off Wedding To Tameka Foster

Posted 07/30/2007 at 2:59 PM  |  6 comment/s

Usher was supposed to marry his future baby mama Tameka Foster on Saturday afternoon, but it turns out that he came to his senses changed his mind on Friday night. The Runaway Groom didn't exactly leave Tameka on the altar at L.A. Reid's Hamptons estate, but everything was set up and rearing to go when the whole shebang got cancelled moments before guests were scheduled to arrive.

Rumors and theories about what led to the wedding bust-up have been circulating all weekend. Was it the National Enquirer interview with Tameka's half-sister Valencia Foster and the airing out of Tam's long rap sheet that did it? Was it the ribs versus chi-chi food debate that Ursh and Tam had over the reception catering? Did Tameka not want to sign a prenup? Did the roots box that Mama Tina Knowles made for Jonetta Patton finally work?

Well, rumor has it that Usher couldn't bear the fact that his mother wasn't even invited until the last minute to her firstborn son's wedding after she made him into the star he is today attending the big event and that led to his change of heart. He flew down to Atlanta to make amends with his estranged mama on Sunday.

There is still no word on if Usher has completely kicked Tameka to the curb or what but now today's rumor is that she followed him down to the ATL and has messed around and wound up in the hospital. Could she be having a miscarriage after all the weekend excitement? This drama clearly isn't ending anytime soon.

Pimp C Continues To Go Off

Posted 07/27/2007 at 5:56 PM  |  12 comment/s

Pimp C is truly having the best week ever. The second half of UGK became an internet sensation when earlier this week audio of an interview he did with Atlanta's 107.9 FM got passed around more than a blunt at a reggae concert.

The interview was done in response to a piece in the August issue of Ozone where Pimp C put folks on blast. He came on the air to clarify what he said and in the process went smooth off on everything from Atlanta not being the South to everyone from Russell Simmons to Young Jeezy to fake hustlers and gay rappers. This is an instant hood classic:

Now Pimp C strikes again with another radio interview this time out of Dallas on 89.3 FM. In this interview Pimp talks about all kinds of madness including pimping, putting people's social security numbers on DVDs, and pulling dude's skirts up to expose their clits. Lil Troy, Don Imus, and even Oprah don't escape his verbal wrath.

If you thought he was on fire in the first clip, then you aint heard nothing yet:

Say what you want about Pimp C, but you can't say that he doesn't speak his mind--as crazy as he sounds.

Jennifer Hudson Peddles Perfume

Posted 07/27/2007 at 4:08 PM  |  2 comment/s

Jennifer Hudson has been everything from an American Idol to an Oscar winner and now she's selling perfume. But before you run down to your nearest fragrance counter hoping to catch a glimpse of Effie White, slow your roll. Ms. Hudson is the new pitchwoman for Avon's scent Imari Seduction available exclusively through the Avon website or from your local Avon lady.

As the face for Imari Seduction, JHud can be seen lounging seductively in the ads for the scent described as "a hypnotic luscious plum and purple orchid with tantalizing hints of warm vanilla, amber and musk." That sounds like it has a lot going on but we trust that Jen wouldn't attach herself to something that smelled funky.

JLo Glows At Movie Premiere

Posted 07/27/2007 at 3:45 PM  |  1 comment/s

Yesterday Jennifer Lopez attended the NYC premiere of her new movie El Cantante. The movie opens in theaters on August 3rd and so far critics have given it some tepid reviews. But when has a bad review ever stopped Jen from looking firece on the red carpet? Last night was no exception.

JLo gave good face at the premiere.

Jenny from the block looked absolutely radiant on the red carpet. Peace is her color.

Oh yeah, her husband Marc Anthony was there, too.

Deelishis Shakes Her Rumpshaker On Video

Posted 07/26/2007 at 2:47 PM  |  30 comment/s

When we first reported that London "Deelishis" Charles recorded a song named 'Rumpshaker" we really hoped and prayed the madness would end on audio. But unfortunately we were wrong. After assaulting our ear canals, Deelishis has now moved on to our eyeballs with the greasy video for the song.

Deelishis and her gluteus maximus are in rare form in the clip dancing alongside fellow well endowed sisters clad in booty shorts and baby oil. This one is for the fellas and Queen Latifah:

Jay-Z Moving to Columbia?

Posted 07/25/2007 at 5:29 PM  |  6 comment/s

It's another week and there's yet another rumor floating around that Jay-Z is leaving Def Jam. But this time the word on the street is that Jigga will change clothes and go over to Columbia, the label home of his sweetheart Beyoncé.

Apparently President Carter hasn't taken too kindly to Jermaine Dupri being brought on board as president of the Island Urban music division this past February and he is ret to go. According to sources, Jay is being wooed to Columbia by Rick Rubin who is busy flipping the staff at the label now that he is co-chair.

And if you know your hip hop history then you know that Rubin co-created the legendary label that Jay-Z has managed to run into the ground. How's that for irony?

Mel B. Spills the Tea About Eddie Murphy's "Lifestyle"

Posted 07/25/2007 at 3:41 PM  |  3 comment/s

Hell hath no fury like a baby mama scorned. Because we are convinced that Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown is trying to destroy Eddie Murphy. The singer recently sat down with Essence.com to spill the tea about her relationship with Eddie and put old boy on blast.

The very public breakup and messy baby drama between these two has been well documented and now Mel goes on record to let the world know that she's no skank who goes around getting pregnant by every Tom, Dick, and Eddie. According to Scary, the pregnancy was planned when she went to get her IUD removed and the couple had spoke of marriage. She goes on to say how she was blindsided by Murphy kicking her to the curb on TV after their whirlwhind romance.

But the real kicker of the interview that has tongues wagging is when Brown chats about Eddie's "lifestyle". Melanie says, "there were certain things that went on in his house with his lifestyle that I wasn't prepared to be a part of." She continues, "I'll simply say that there were lifestyle changes that he would have to make if we were going to live together and do it properly. I have a house where it's about my kids and me. I don't have people knocking on my door at 3 and 4 in the morning."

Hmmm, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to read between the lines and conclude that there was some freaky deakyness happening at Eddie's pad that she wasn't trying to be a part of. Maybe all those Johnny Gill stories were true after all?

Ring the Alarm: Beyoncé Takes A Fall

Posted 07/25/2007 at 10:39 AM  |  17 comment/s

Last night the Beyoncé Experience tour landed in Orlando and in the middle of the concert Beyoncé landed flat on her lacefront wig. According to concertgoers reports, she began singing the song "Ring the Alarm" and as she was walking down a flight of stairs she missed oh about ten (!) and went splat, face-first down the steps.

A mere mortal would have just rolled around the stage in agony and cancelled the show, but not Super Sasha. She recovered from the fall in true Bionic Woman style. Check her out:

We are shocked and awed that she was able to recover from that tumble down the stairs and pop, lock, and drop it right back into her regularly scheduled routine. Now that's what you call talent. After wrapping up her performance of "Ring the Alarm", Bey took a seat for her next song and its said that she was sporting a bloody knee. Later in the show Beyoncé joked with the audience not to put the video up on YouTube. Nice try, Miss Knowles.

We're just trippin' that even in the midst of taking a nasty spill Bey had to outdo previous falls by her girls Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

Cassie To Make Acting Debut

Posted 07/24/2007 at 5:23 PM  |  2 comment/s

She may not be much of a vocalist, but now Cassie will get a chance to showcase how bad an actress she is her acting skills--presuming she has any--in a new film. Miss Ventura has been cast in the sequel to Step Up.

The imaginatively titled Step Up 2 will feature Cassie as a singer and her song will be on the soundtrack. Wow, so she'll be playing a singer in the flick? OK, so she will be doing some acting after all.

This has straight to the bootleg man DVD written all over it.

Usher to Wed This Weekend?

Posted 07/24/2007 at 4:53 PM  |  1 comment/s

Attention Usher fans (if there are any of y'all left), word on the street is that the hip pop star is getting married this weekend to his lady love Tameka Foster. The rumor that the wedding got bumped up from the fall to this month first surfaced a few weeks ago and now it looks like the big day may finally be here.

The Ushmeka (Tamsher?) wedding will go down in the Hamptons at L.A. Reid's estate and a veritable Who's Who in urban entertainment is invited to watch the couple jump the broom, including Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Chilli--SIKE!

People are whispering that Usher's Mom-piece Jonetta Patton may not attend the event because she will be traveling this weekend. Let VC guess, Tameka bought the ticket for her?

Rihanna Breaking Records, Making Videos

Posted 07/23/2007 at 5:02 PM  |  Comment?

Love her or hate her, Rihanna is riding high on the wave of success these days. Her plan of world domination has paid off with her single "Umbrella" shattering records on the UK charts. She's held on to the top spot for 10 weeks and if she can hang on for 5 more weeks she'll set a record as the longest running single in UK chart history. On top of that good news, it's only a matter of time before her second and third singles race up the charts across the pond and in the US.

Speaking of her new singles, Ri Ri took the time on Friday to kick it with Terrence and Rocsi at 106th & Park and premiere two new videos for the songs "Shut Up And Drive" and "Don't Stop the Music." Here's some footage of her appearance on the show and the unexpected new vid:

Rihanna must like doing things in two's because she can also be seen on two separate covers of the upcoming issue VIBE Vixen.

Shemar Moore Sets the Gay Record Straight

Posted 07/20/2007 at 2:46 PM  |  2 comment/s

Shemar Moore has finally spoken out about the naked photos that surfaced lask week that were allegedly taken at a gay beach and published in the National Enquirer. Shemar sat down with In Touch and put the rumors to rest by saying that he is not gay.

According to the actor, he was on vacation with two female friends in Hawaii and they decided to get their skinny dip on at what he thought was a unisex beach. He stripped down to his birthday suit--with his fine self we might add--and next thing you know flicks of him and his wang dang doodle were all over the net. Of course, his two companions were cropped out of the photos and the gay beach rumor spread quicker than Kim Kardashian's legs for a brother on the D-List.

Fugees Reunion Not Gonna Happen

Posted 07/20/2007 at 2:27 PM  |  1 comment/s

Anyone waiting for the Fugees to reunite will be waiting for a mighty long time to hear Pras tell it. According to one-third of the multi-plat selling group, the project is as dead as Lisa Nicole Carson's career. Although Pras, Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill started working on the reunion album last fall and created some blazing joints, the project has since been shelved because Ms. Hill has not cooperated. Lauryn Hill not cooperating? Now there's a shocker. Not.

But although the Fugues are on indefinite (permanent?) hiatus, that isn't stopping Pras from moving forward with his own solo project. His new CD entitled Experience is due out later this year. In addition, he can be seen on the big screen on two upcoming joints, a feature film with Josh Lucas and a documentary about L.A.'s homeless.

Justin Timberlake Serves Up Some Southern Hospitality

Posted 07/19/2007 at 5:40 PM  |  2 comment/s

Justin Timberlake is the latest in a long list of entertainers to open up a restaurant in NYC. Last night was the grand opening extravaganza of his new BBQ joint Southern Hospitality complete with a red carpet and Al Sharpton! Because nothing says BBQ like a red carpet and Al Sharpton.

The menu is chock full of down home Memphis-style delicacies taken straight from his grandmother's secret recipes. Timberlake may be doing something right at Southern Hospitality--Sharpton gave the joint a thumbs up.

In other good JT news, his hit ditty "D--k In A Box" was nominated for an Emmy today. Because nothing says Emmy nomination like your junk in a box.

Will And Jada Outed?

Posted 07/18/2007 at 4:49 PM  |  10 comment/s

Have Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith been outed on the sly by Page Six? Check out the clear-as-freshly-Windexed-glass blind item in today's New York Post:

WHICH too-good-to-be-real Hollywood leading man and his hard-bodied wife deserve Oscars for their portrayal of a perfect marriage? They both have secret lives with members of the same sex.

Whoot there it is! Looks like the mainstream media has finally gotten word of Will and Jada's little secret that folks have been knowing and whispering about for years.

Kim Porter About To Get Paid

Posted 07/18/2007 at 4:20 PM  |  1 comment/s

Our bad for almost missing this story that was in Sunday's Page Six, but Kim Porter is about to get a hefty payday for bearing Diddy's fruit from her loins. If all goes as planned, then Kim could be pulling in $1.2 million a year in child support from the hip hop mogul. Cha-ching!

Page Six did the math and concluded that since Diddy already pays his O.G. baby moms Misa Hylton-Brim $30,000 a month for the one child that he has with her, he could be faced with sending Kim a check of $100,000 a month for the three kids that they have together. Now that's ballin'.

There's no word about how much hush money Diddy is paying other women who are rumored to also have given birth to his children. Either way, he may want to look into another stream of income. A Sean John Silvers franchise is sounding really good right about now.

Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin Split Up?

Posted 07/17/2007 at 5:35 PM  |  143 comment/s

The poor man's Will and Jada, Tisha Campbell and Duane Martin, are rumored to be headed to divorce court. After eleven years, three successful sitcoms, and one child, the pair have allegedly pulled the plug and decided to move on from their marriage.

The couple have yet to confirm or deny this story, but it has long been rumored that they have both been involved in alternative lifestyles while married to each other. There's no word on if that led to the break up or if it was caused by something else.

Dave Chappelle Goes To Hospital To Eat, Drink, Sleep

Posted 07/17/2007 at 5:02 PM  |  Comment?

It was no laughing matter when comedian Dave Chappelle was hospitalized over the weekend. The one-time darling of Comedy Central went to the emergency room because he was suffering from exhaustion. There was some speculation that he went into drug rehab, but his rep claims that he simply went to the hospital to get some "food, water, and sleep."

Maybe we missed the MySpace bulletin, but who goes to the hospital to get food, water and sleep? People normally go home to do that sort of stuff. Did he not have any of Black America's sleeping aid, Ribs, on hand at the crib?

Kelly Rowland Collapses During Nigerian Concert

Posted 07/16/2007 at 4:37 PM  |  1 comment/s

Kelly Rowland had a serious medical emergency yesterday. The singer collapsed onstage during a concert in Lagos, Nigeria in the middle of performing the Destiny's Child hit, "Say My Name". According to her reps from Sony, she fainted as a result of dehydration.

Some folks are claiming that this is a publicity stunt to get her CD some play, but after seeing the video of her falling out we can think of a few easier ways to sell some units. Whatever the case, we just hope that Kelly makes it through this OK and that Nigerian scam artists don't start using her name in their emails.

Common Is a Technophobe

Posted 07/13/2007 at 5:56 PM  |  3 comment/s

Despite having that urban intellectual look down to a science, Common isn't the most technology savvy brother on the planet. The rapper admits that he doesn't own a computer and has no intentions of getting one. In addition, he doesn't do email because he prefers face-to-face contact. Our inside source even tells us that Common just recently learned how to use the text message feature on his cell phone.

I guess we can deduce from this that Common doesn't maintain his MySpace page himself. So much for all those love notes VC sent him.

Janet Jackson Down With Def Jam

Posted 07/13/2007 at 5:39 PM  |  1 comment/s

In what was one of the worst kept secrets in recent memory, it has finally been confirmed that Janet Jackson has made the move on over to Def Jam. JanJack officially told Virgin Records to kiss her sculpted booty after two back-to-back flops on the label.

Jackson now joins the legendary Def Jam and will be making sweet music with L.A Reid and her boo Jermaine Dupri. Although Dupri has stated that he won't be working on his lady love's new CD because the new Mariah Carey project has him tied up, we don't see him being able to stay away from it.

Did Beyoncé Creep With LeBron James?

Posted 07/13/2007 at 4:38 PM  |  5 comment/s

What is this we hear about Beyoncé creeping with LeBron James not so long ago? Word on the internet street is that the "Irreplaceable" beauty spent an entire weekend bunned up in a Miami hotel a few months ago with the NBA baller.

Apparently Bey's creep game with LeBron was in retaliation for all those pesky rumors that Jay-Z and Rihanna were making sexy time with each other. According to a source at the Setai Hotel, LeBron came to visit Miss Knowles and didn't leave her room until days later.

Neither Bey nor LeBron has addressed this rumor, but we're just getting a kick putting their names together as if they were a couple. What do you all like better, LeBroncé or BeBron?

Usher Defends His Relationship In An Open Letter

Posted 07/13/2007 at 4:30 PM  |  1 comment/s

Don't let it ever be said that Usher doesn't stand by his man. The singer has written an open letter to People magazine defending his much-maligned wifey-to-be Tameka Foster and attempting to set the record straight about a few things concerning their relationship.

According to Usher, "I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED." He goes on to call out the media and bloggers for getting all up in his business and spreading lies to his fans.

The almost-weds simply want to keep their marriage and baby to themselves and guard their privacy. Good luck with that, Ursh.

Diddy Still Looking For A Personal Assistant

Posted 07/12/2007 at 4:54 PM  |  3 comment/s

Remember way back in April when we posted the link to the want-ad that Bad Boy Entertainment placed in February looking for a personal assitant to Diddy? Well, believe it or not the position still hasn't been filled and Diddy has now taken his search online and straight to YouTube to Diddy TV.

Check out Sir Diddy in the first episode of Making the Personal Assistant:

As if job interviews weren't stressful enough, he wants applicants to post their video interviews online for the world to clown see. This should be real interesting to see the responses that Diddy gets. We already have a few favorites:

Wow, these people are dead ass serious!

Shemar Moore Caught Naked At Gay Beach

Posted 07/12/2007 at 10:43 AM  |  5 comment/s

What is up with Shemar Moore these days? Dude has been seriously acting the fool lately. The 37-year-old actor must be having a pre-midlife crisis or something. First he gets a DUI, which is like a rite of passage for celebrities these days so that wasn't really shocking news in and of itself.

But now word comes that he got caught all the way out there in Hawaii. And we mean all the way out there, as in bucket nekkid with the family jewels on blast at a gay beach. The National Enquirer broke the story by publishing censored versions of the damning photos, but the gossip ganster Perez Hilton got his French manicured hands on the uncensored flicks (NSFW) and posted them on his site. Jesus be a pair of Speedos.

Moore can be seen in the photos frolicking in the water with his manhood swinging in the wind. There are no other men--much less other people--in the photos so we can't be 100% sure if Shemar is "yes homo" or what based on these flicks. But VC is more than willing to do some hands on research with the subject to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Usher's Shotgun Wedding Moved Up

Posted 07/11/2007 at 2:06 PM  |  5 comment/s

It looks like Tameka Foster is one step closer to locking Usher down. Page Six is reporting that the fellas are planning on moving their impending nuptuals up from the fall to later this month.

The shotgun wedding is allegedly scheduled to occur at a private home in the Hamptons in a few weeks. The pair is hustling to the altar to wed before Tameka's pregnancy starts to show and before her other kids start school.

All we want to know is what kind of root or ghetto kama sutra Tameka put on Usher. Juicy surely got him crazy. Cold going mad.

Miss Jones Releases Tell-All Book

Posted 07/11/2007 at 12:29 PM  |  5 comment/s

Looks like Superhead isn't the only one f---ing and telling. The latest person to hop on the bandwagon and air out hip hop celebs in a book is none other than radio personality Miss Jones from NYC's Hot 97. Just yesterday her book Have You Met Miss Jones?: The Life and Loves of Radio's Most Controversial Diva was released and some juicy tidbits have already hit the streets.

In the book she details her sexual relationship with Busta Rhymes and gives the rapper props for packing a lethal weapon. Despite her praise about his penis power, she gives Bussa Bus a thumbs down for proposing to her in bed after having relations.

The mouth almighty also takes aim at her favorite target Beyoncé and calls her "barrel-a-d" (whatever that means) and says that when she first met Jay-Z that his eyes were glued to her backside and he made some sexual remarks. Jonesie also has some sideway things to say about Mary J. Blige and her radio rival Wendy Williams, to name a few.

Who knows, maybe this book writing thing will work out for Miss Jones? Lord knows that her singing thing sure didn't.

Foxy Brown: Pregnant Or Swole?

Posted 07/10/2007 at 4:16 PM  |  15 comment/s

Although she was initially reported as missing, this past weekend Foxy Brown showed up at the 1st Annual Urban Music Awards to co-host the show with dancehall artist Spragga Benz. We were happy to hear that she was alive and kicking, but after seeing some flicks of her from the event, we have to wonder just what the heck has happened to Inga.

Fox Boogie looked a hot mess in a form-fitting dress that fit her form a little too tightly. Foxy has always been on Team Slim so we have to wonder when she blew up. Unless those rumors about her being knocked up are true, that is. Whatever the case, we're gonna need for Foxy to preserve her sexy a little better than this. What kind of prenatal care is this?

What do you think, is Foxy Brown pregnant or just swole?

It's A Wrap For Diddy And Kim

Posted 07/10/2007 at 3:41 PM  |  Comment?

Looks like Kim Porter has finally come to her senses and told her baby daddy to go "to the left, to the left." Yes, after a tumultuous on-again-off-again decade-long relationship, Kim Porter and Sean 'Diddy" Combs have officially called it quits. Excuse us while we pour out a little Champipple for the end of an era.

It turns out that the rumors from last week that Kim moved her bags and her babies out of Diddy's house were true. A rep for Combs confirmed the story with People and even though this should've happened long ago, we are still in a state of shock. (Whereas some people may be elated.)

It remains to be seen how long this break up is going to last. After all, they got back together after he got his Latina love on with Jennifer Lopez so who's to say that they won't rekindle the flame at some point in the future. But as of right now, Diddy is free to get with whomever he chooses. Not that he ever stopped.

Michael Strahan and Friends Party It Up

Posted 07/09/2007 at 6:10 PM  |  Comment?

Sunday night Michael Strahan hosted a charity golf tournament party and auction at Tao in NYC. Some familiar faces stepped out to enjoy the event.

What has Michael cheesin' so big?

Could it be Nicole Murphy and her golden girl glow?

Dawn Richards of Danity Kane was there. We suppose that Aubrey O'Day wasn't available.

Ja Rule took wifey out for some fresh air.

Diana Ross performed during the event with all of the raw emotion a diva can muster.

Beyoncé Scores Another Movie Role?

Posted 07/09/2007 at 5:34 PM  |  15 comment/s

Just when we thought that Beyoncé didn't have anymore films on the way anytime soon, word is that she's in talks to star in her next movie role. But this just isn't any old movie - it's the big screen adaptation of Aida, the smash Broadway musical created by Disney.

After a solid performance in Dreamgirls, Mickie and Minnie apparently want Bey to star in the flick in hopes that her star power will attract people to the film version of the Tony-award winning musical. Beyoncé would star as the title character in a role originated by knockout vocalist Heather Headley (who doesn't get hardly enough props) and played famously by other singers such as Toni Braxton and Bey's fellow Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams.

Tracey Edmonds Still With Eddie Murphy

Reports this week that Tracey Edmonds had kicked Eddie Murphy to the curb has proven to be false. These two kids are still crazy in love according to Tracey, who gave People the 411 on her relationship with Ed.

These two have been dating since last fall and are quickly rolling up on one year together. Who woulda thunk it? Being involved with Murphy has turned out to be a good look for Edmonds. Despite all of his baby mama drama, this is the most press she's ever gotten. Well played, Tracey. Well played.

B5 Planning A Comeback

Posted 07/06/2007 at 5:20 PM  |  39 comment/s

While Diddy is busy Making the H.A.M. Band yet again, there is another band on Bad Boy that need not be overlooked. The group of brothers better known as B5 is returning this fall with their sophomore release, Don't Talk Just Listen. Whether they will sink or swim with this new record remains to be seen, but as long as there are boy crazy prepubescent girls these cutie pies should do just fine.

Their new video for the first single "Hydrolics" premiered on BET Access Granted this week and it features Bow Wow kicking a few verses, shiny cars, and some funky dance moves. Check it out:

Kim Porter Gets To Steppin'

Posted 07/06/2007 at 4:53 PM  |  2 comment/s

VC would be hella remiss if we didn't say something about the headline of the day out of yesterday's Page Six: DIDDY BABY MAMA MOVES OUT.

Can you believe it? We sure can't. You mean to tell us that Kim Porter has gotten a healthy dose of Act Right and finally left Diddy? How do we say this nicely: We don't believe you, you need more people. But to hear the New York Post tell it, Kim has finally had it up to here with Diddy and his hoes in different area codes.

It's bad enough Porter is probably at home watching Sex In The City reruns with a baby suckling on each breast half the time, but then she gotta see photos (or videos) and hear stories of her man galivanting around the world with the likes of Sienna Miller, Cassie, Claudia Jordan, and God knows who else. After all that blatant disrespect, she allegedly packed her bags and rolled out of Diddy's NYC crib with no plans to return.

Currently shooting a movie in Louisiana, Porter is apparently planning to move out to L.A. to pursue her acting and modeling career. If this story is true, we wish Kim luck and look forward to seeing her face on more Creme of Nature home relaxer kits in the near future.

Superhead Back to Her Old Tricks

Posted 07/03/2007 at 11:31 AM  |  18 comment/s

Showing that she still can't keep her legs or her mouth closed, Karrine "Superhead" Steffans is back to putting people's business on Front Street. The self-proclaimed video vixen is busy putting the finishing touches on her latest tome, The Vixen Diaries, another chronicle of her skankdom. Because one trifling book clearly wasn't enough and since she's had additional sexcapades and conquests since Confessions of a Video Vixen was released in 2005, this new book will hit the streets this September.

In Diaries, Superhead will pick up where she dropped her panties at the end of Confessions. The new book will detail her most recent affairs with hood celebrities such as Lil Wayne and Ne-Yo. Karrine can even currently be seen on the video diary section of her website in an empty hotel room bragging about tearing it up the night before with her "baby," alluding to a tryst with Weezy.

New Chris Brown CD In Trouble?

Posted 07/02/2007 at 2:23 PM  |  34 comment/s

Rumor has it that Chris Brown may be headed into a sophomore slump with his latest CD. The new disc isn't scheduled to drop until August 28th but if the lack of success of the first single "Wall to Wall" is any indication, his record company may want to push the album's release date back a little somethin' somethin'.

Despite having a flashy, overpriced video, "Wall to Wall" only peaked at #79 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently sits at #88. A second single produced by Stargate is being rushed out in an attempt to salvage the project.

Before the second single drops, enjoy Michael Jackson 2.0 in "Wall to Wall" in the meantime:

Danity Kane Singer the Next Kim Kardashian?

Posted 07/02/2007 at 1:40 PM  |  3 comment/s

It looks like Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane "fame" is quite the party girl. She's been spotted on more red carpets and at more parties than all the other group members combined and she's been hanging tough with celebuskank Kim Kardashian alot as of late. We have no idea how they met or how they became BFFs so quickly but we suppose that birds of a feather do flock together.

Kim K. and her apprentice were recently seen at a BET Awards after party trying to get their mack on with various industry brothas. Apparently Aubrey was seen grooving on the dancefloor with Jermaine Dupri but by the end of the night she wound up sitting in songwriter Johnta Austin's lap and they exchanged DNA through some passionate kisses. Sounds to us like Kardashian has already taught her well.
